This weekend I went to Ocean City, Maryland for a fraternities formal and had a great time! The party was held at a very nice venue called Embers, and the seafood was amazing! A lot of Greek organizations have formals, where everybody gets all dressed up and dances the night away! Which we did!
Formal was fantastic, but so was visiting Ocean City! It was my first time so I got to explore a lot. We ended up having pretty nice weather so we walked on the boardwalk, beach, and even went in the water! Yes, it was freezing! But totally worth it! Ocean City is a nice beach town and when we went it was not too crowed, it was perfect. We stayed at the Seabany Motel, which was on the water, so we had an ocean-side view! I must say, I love the beach!
Luckily, the drive was not too bad; it was about 3 hours both ways. But I must say, the drive is very pretty too. Overall, I had a great weekend in Ocean City and I love how we have a beach so close by!

Vin Diesel on Monday joined the throngs mourning Paul Walker at the site where he died, calling his Fast and the Furious costar an "angel" and a "brother" whose legacy would live on.
"If he could see for himself that all of you have showed up to show my brother love at this hard time, and the family gets to see all of you show the love that you've shown Paul, it's going to stay with me forever," the actor, 46, told the crowd over a police car's loudspeaker in a video posted by KTLA-TV.
"I just wanted to say thank you," he added. "Thank you for coming down here and showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciated him."

Paul Walker's father has expressed the heartbreak he feels over his son's untimely death.
"I'm just glad that every time I saw him, I told him I loved him. And he said the same thing to me," Paul Walker Sr. said to CBS2's Greg Mills.
"His heart was so big," Walker Sr. added, "I was proud of him every day of his life."
Walker Sr. and his wife raised Paul and his three siblings in Sunland, Calif. "His brothers are all taking it pretty hard," he added.

Onscreen and off, Paul Walker loved the adrenaline rush of racing cars. But some of his time behind the wheel was quieter – and even closer to his heart.
Driving his daughter, Meadow Rain, to school in the morning, "I just shut up, sit back and stay quiet," he told PEOPLE in 2011, when she was about to turn 13. "She opens up and reveals a whole lot. The trick is to not ask questions, just listen. I'm figuring it out."
Walker, who died in a car crash on Saturday, was a proud and devoted father to Meadow, who turned 15 in November. Tragically, witnesses say, she was on hand to support her dad at his Reach Out Worldwide charity car show in Santa Clarita, Calif., when Walker and friend Roger Rodas left for a spin in a Porsche Carrera GT and never came back.

Paul Walker, who died in a car crash on Saturday afternoon in Valencia, Calif., was best known for his roles in The Fast and the Furious films, but there were so many in Hollywood who knew him as more than the franchise's Brian O'Conner.
Friends and colleagues flooded Twitter with tributes to the father of one, who got his start as a child actor in commercials and went on to make appearances in shows like Charles in Charge, Who's the Boss and The Young and the Restless.
"My heart is hurting so bad no one can make me believe this is real," his friend and costar Tyrese posted on Instagram.

Hours after the fiery car crash that killed Paul Walker, the 40-year-old star of the Fast and Furious movie franchise, and another man, details from eye witnesses and police have emerged to show that the accident occurred during a charity car show that went horribly wrong.
"We were collecting toys for the Indiana tornado victims and the Philippine [typhoon] victims," says Jim Torp, who attended the event held by Always Evolving, a Valencia, Calif.-based automotive company. "There were dozens of high-end race cars and custom-built cars on display."
As the car show was winding down, Walker, whose 15-year-old daughter Meadow Rain also was at the event, got into a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with the car's driver, Always Evolving owner Roger Rodas.

Two. A Good Samaritan who stopped her car and began honking, forcing the dogs to scatter so I could run down the road. No jokes this time. This was more than a little too close for comfort.

The last thing my blistered feet wanted to do today was climb more than 130 steps. But my heart and mind wanted other things so, after a sweat and pain-filled climb, tonight I found myself at the top of "Rankin Hill," with a stunning vista of Ripley and the Ohio River far below. Just past the top of the wooden staircase stood the old red-brick home that once offered a beacon of hope to fugitives on the Kentucky side of the river. The Rankin House can be seen far and wide from the Kentucky bank. While the home and its owner were once cursed by slave owners, they sparked slaves to dream of -- and often seek -- freedom.

"This here will drop them, but I guess you can't bring that into Canada? They get all excited about that kind of stuff up there." The man pointed to a locked display case filled with handguns and an overhead case full of shotguns. I had come to the hardware and appliance store in Ripley to purchase mace to fend off four-legged beasts; I could have left ready to re-enact John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. When I opted against the guns, another store employee brought me three different kinds of mace.

One of the first things you see coming into New Richmond off the highway is a large marquee sign standing next to a gas station. Today it offered a greeting in large, black capital letters: "Welcome visitors from Ottawa Canada -- Chris and Malcom." While the sign was missing an L in photographer Malcolm Taylor's first name, it proved indicative of the warm, open-hearted greeting the town has offered us.
June 29, 2006, 2:52 p.m.
"I thought I was going to see it all last night ... a soldier on a horse, a crazy guy with an axe, the two twins from The Shining."
That was photographer Malcolm Taylor's take on our final, thunderstorm-ridden night at the Thaxter Pease home in Williamsburg. The home, owned by Steve and Holly Matthews, was once a prominent Underground Railroad stop. We spent two nights in the nearly 180-year-old building. Dr. Pease's neighbour, Charles "Boss" B. Huber, was the head station master in Williamsburg until his death in 1854. Huber is believed to have rescued between 300 and 500 slaves. His home also remains standing today.
The Huber home was lit up by a giant cross dotted with light bulbs. It cast an eerie light on the front yard amidst the storm. ... "I can't stay out here anymore," I told Malcolm in a whisper.
"I'm done, too," he responded.

Happy Canada Day. As Canadians enjoy cottage-life, fire up their barbecues or prepare for a night of fireworks, I'm caught up in the middle of a gruelling walk to Cincinnati. I keep thinking about Jerry Gore, my first walking companion on this journey. The 60-year-old runs an Underground Railroad museum and tour operation in a historic home in Maysville, Kentucky. His great-great-grandfather was famous fugitive slave Addison White, and Gore always talked about the link he felt with the spirits of the past. Standing on the side of an Ohio highway in the sweltering heat, I can only surmise the Spirits of the Ancestors are on lunch break. I can only hope they come back soon. With 10 miles to go, I'll soon be in Cincinnati.

Speech/article, 01.07.2014
Prime Minister Erna Solberg
Check against delivery
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen
We are meeting here in Johannesburg for a common purpose. Together we are part of a global drive to prevent the deaths of millions of people every year, and to lay the foundation for meaningful lives for all.
It is truly inspiring for me to be here in Johannesburg to address this PMNCH Partner Forum, which gathers more than 500 doers, movers and shakers who are helping to bring about vital progress on the Millennium Development Goals. I would particularly like to acknowledge the Partnership's contribution to reduce child mortality (MDG 4) and improve maternal health (MDG 5).
We have seen remarkable gains in global health over the past decades. Now we need to sustain these achievements and move forward smartly, swiftly and jointly. I congratulate the chair of PMNCH board, Mrs Graca Machel, and the PMNCH Forum with the global launch of the New-born Action Plan here yesterday. This plan will draw global attention to the survival of the most vulnerable.
As an immediate response to this Action Plan, my Government has decided to support the public–private partnership Helping 100 000 Babies Survive and Thrive.
With less than 550 days to meet the Millennium Development Goals, we have to pick up speed if we are to provide schooling for those 57 million children not yet in school and save the lives of more children and their mothers.
My Government's top development priority is education. I never miss an opportunity to quote Nelson Mandela's wise words about the centrality of education. I quote: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world".
I see education as the prime mover for long-term, home-grown, sustainable development. Access to quality education – as well as health – is essential for human development.
Last month my Government presented a white paper on global education, which paves the way for a substantial scaling-up of support to education in the coming years. As a first step, we will double the Norwegian contribution to the Global Partnership for Education over the next three years, bringing it up to almost USD 100 million per year in 2017.
I am also very pleased to announce that fellow MDG Advocate Mrs Machel and I agreed today to work together to identify and exploit synergies between education and health to accelerate progress in these areas, particularly for girls.
In our partnership, we will build on the most important lessons learned.
Equally important, education also provides girls with greater economic opportunities and the ability to make their own choices in life. This means that the likelihood of becoming a victim of sexual or gender-based violence or early marriage is diminished.
There is strong evidence that education consistently improves the chances of a healthy life by enabling people to make informed choices.
Estimates suggest that the lives of 2.1 million children under five were saved between 1990 and 2009 because of improvements in the education of women of reproductive age.
This progress has been sustained and broadened because these mothers are teaching their children – both girls and boys – how to lead healthier lives.
Let me give you two lifesaving facts:
The numbers tell us that girls' education is the most consistent and important driver of development. Secondary education for girls is especially transformative – both for the girls themselves and for the societies they live in. Education empowers individuals and breathes new life into families, communities and societies. When you educate a girl, you educate a nation.
However, education in itself is not enough; it is essential to ensure good quality education. Where education is of poor quality or irrelevant, there is a greater chance that girls will drop out of school and get married at a young age. High quality education and schools that are safe for girls must be key goals. We should therefor also concentrate our efforts on educating teachers who can provide high quality education.
I will highlight the importance of exploiting these synergies for driving progress on the MDGs at the MDG Advocacy Group meeting in Kigali later this week.
Meanwhile, let me assure you that my Government is strongly committed to the Millennium Development Goals. We are determined to achieve results. As MDG Advocacy Group co-chair, together with President Paul Kagame, I am inspired by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's consistent focus on his "Every Woman Every Child" initiative and his unwavering support for the MDGs.
Looking ahead, the world community must unite in a shared vision of healthy women and children at the heart of the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. I have had the privilege of seeing the draft communique from this very important conference. That vision is expressed in the Communiqué, which will be issued at the close of this meeting today. I want to share with you some of the highlights of this Communiqué.
The forum Communiqué endorsed strong, ambitious and measurable global targets to save lives. On child mortality, there should be 25 or fewer deaths per thousand live births and newborn mortality should be reduced dramatically to 12 or fewer deaths per thousand live births. On maternal mortality we must strive to ensure that there are no more than 70 deaths per hundred thousand and a minimum 75 percent of demand for contraceptives must be met by modern methods.
In closing, let us join ranks with the millions who deplore the abduction of school girls in Nigeria. This and similar crimes elsewhere are examples of violations that the world community has agreed to put on the trash heaps of history. In a letter to the parents of these girls, Mrs Machel wrote, and I quote: "I am a parent and so I stand amongst you holding your hands, in pain and anguish; in solidarity."
I think we all could have signed that letter – but no one could have put it better.
Thank you.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- The wife of a local business owner Alvin Fails opened up to WINK News about the motorcycle crash that killed him yesterday afternoon. In an even more heartbreaking twist, we now know she is five months pregnant with their first child, and was on her way to the doctor when the accident happened.
Brittnie Fails drove past the scene just a couple of minutes after the crash.
"I get over it for a little bit, then it hits me again. I am trying to stay calm, but it's just so hard," she said.
Alvin and Brittnie Fails were driving separately to a doctor's office, to find out the sex of their baby. She was in a car, a few blocks behind Alvin, and passed the crash site. As the video from the News-Press shows, the punctured gas tank on the motorcycle caught on fire, burning up the Ford Expedition.
"We drove by and we saw the man on the ground, and I didn't want to think it was him. I asked my friend, 'What color was the motorcycle?' Then we turned around," Brittnie explained. "I was just sitting there saying, 'It's not him. It's not him,' but they said, 'It's a large man.' And my husband was a large man. Then they said, 'The man is bald.' And he was bald. Then the EMT told me his name. They would not let me see him in the ambulance, all I saw were his little socks."
"He was just a good man. Everybody loved him," Brittnie said.
The family of the woman who was driving the Ford Expedition says she was not physically hurt, but relatives tell us she is very shaken up.
Police continue to investigate to determine who was at fault.

"Made with penne and the parmesan, this is a meal in a pinch for me, needing maybe just a slice of toasted bread rubbed with garlic. Made with curly egg noodles, this is an ideal side for anything from a piece of a cooked turkey to a thick beef stew."
Serving Size: 1 (91 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"Hey... For the grown up version, add a capful of worshire sauce and a dash of garlic powder. This will add a much needed twist on "buttered noodles." If your not cooking "in a pinch," mince a few garlic cloves instead of garlic powder. -Noodle Nut"
"Cool. <br/>Cool cool cool."
"Thanks dividend. I have been on the hunt for a great buttered noodles recipe. This one was very good with the optional Parmesan as essential and a few sprinkles of garlic salt instead of regular salt. The flat leaf parsley or parsley flakes sprinkled are also required. This makes a nice side dish with any meat really. We enjoyed it. Will make again and again with some sort of garlic salt added. This is very light and well received by all. Enjoy! ChefDLH"
"Simple and tasty recipe. It even made the whole grain noodles that I regret buying taste edible. Thanks so much for sharing this good basic recipe."
"These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written and we all enjoyed them."
"Simple and delicious, that's what they are. My wife and I love pasta and we wanted something simple, so this fit the bill. The flavor was good and we simply enjoyed! Thanks for sharing Dividend! Don"
"This was so easy to make and the kids gobbled it up. Usually I would just make the pasta add a swirl of olive oil, pepper, and course sea salt. I thought I'd give them something different my oldest kept asking why his noodles taste so much better than usual. We had this with recipe#45940 Thanks for posting!"
"Simple and perfect. Fresh parsley really does give it a little extra something."
"Very good and a kid pleaser, made to go with Baked Chicken Supreme. Made with small Brillo penne also added some garlic powder and a pinch of sugar. My kids loved it. Thank you."
"5 Stars for ease and versatility! And 5 stars for kid friendly! Thanks for posting this recipe it was a perfect accompaniment to our heavily seasoned pork chops!"

James Corden proved he was "The Governor" when he picked up the award for best leading actor in a drama for his hit show One Man, Two Guvnors at the annual Tony Awards in New York.
James, who won acclaim for the London run of the show, beat a host of Hollywood superstars to the award.
Big names he was up against included James Earl Jones, Frank Langella, John Lithgow and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Fighting back his emotions as he picked up his Tony award, the 33-year-old paid tribute to his girlfriend Julia, who gave birth to the couple's son five days before rehearsals for the production began.
He said he was "overwhelmed" at being nominated alongside such highly-regarded actors.
"To be on a list with you was enough and holding this, it honestly just reminds me that there is no such thing as best. Honestly, I am overwhelmed," he said.
The Tony Awards are an annual celebration of excellence of Broadway theatre.

text: Report: Braun to Admit He Used PEDs After Friend's Lawsuit Alleges He Doped in College Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 17 Aug 2013 post a comment Hours after the news that Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun's friend had sued him and alleged he doped and committed academic fraud in college, USA Today reported on Friday that Braun is set to admit for the first time that he used performance-enhancing drugs and apologize for his actions. Braun was suspended for the remainder of the baseball season without pay after admitting he had violated baseball's drug policy. According to USA Today: Milwaukee Brewers embattled left fielder Ryan Braun plans to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Braun, according to people who are familiar with his plans, is ready to soon admit that he used performance-enhancing drugs in parts of the 2011 season, the reasons why he did it, and publicly apologize for the lies and deception. People familiar with the plans, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because Braun has yet to make the announcement, said he has begun sending apologies to baseball officials, and is expected to express remorse in the statement. It's unclear what specifics will be in the statement. And, for the first time, he will admit guilt. The news came hours after Braun's friend sued him and alleged that he had used performance-enhancing drugs in college and accepted money while playing baseball in college: A longtime friend of Ryan Braun's filed a lawsuit against the suspended slugger last month, charging that Braun defamed him after the friend provided help in his successful appeal of Braun's positive steroid test in 2011. Ralph Sasson, 29, makes a number of personal accusations against Braun, saying in the lawsuit that Braun doped through his years at the University of Miami, committed academic fraud and accepted money while a student. The lawsuit reportedly came about because Braun's camp did not pay Sasson the $5,000 he was promised.

Taxable Vs. Tax-deferred Investment Growth Calculator
Compare the future value and investment return differences between taxable and tax deferred investing. This calculator will help you decide if the tax deferral benefit justifies the additional rules and government limitations.
Click here for information and term definitions
Taxable Vs. Tax-Deferred Investment Growth
The difference between taxable vs. tax-deferred investment growth can be substantial, but it can also be difficult to quantify without a calculator.
The mathematical reality is tax deferral will help you achieve your retirement goals more quickly, but there is a price to pay in terms of government regulation and sometimes higher fees associated with tax-deferred investing. You must weigh the growth benefits of tax-deferred investing against these costs to decide the best tax structure for achieving your financial goals.
Fortunately, this Taxable vs. Tax-Deferred Calculator makes the math easy so you can quickly find the right answer.
Below is analysis of each investment choice to help you make the decision…
Taxable Investments
Earned income is taxable every year, but exceptions exist. Taxable investment income includes:
Most investment income is treated as ordinary income – taxed at your current tax rate. Gains on sales of long-term assets – held for more than a year – are generally taxed at the advantageous long-term capital gains rate.
Tax-Deferred Investments
Most tax-deferred investments reside in retirement accounts. Tax-deferred investments only pay taxes when investments are liquidated or sold.
Some equity investments, like stocks, can be considered tax-deferred investments. Although you may pay taxes on dividends, you will not pay taxes on market gains until sold.
Traditional retirement accounts are tax-deferred. Some government savings bonds also allow you to pay taxes on interest earned or defer tax payments until the bonds mature.
Taxable Investment Advantages
Surprisingly, there are advantages to taxable investments that must be considered when formulating your investment plan:
Remember: Retirement accounts have additional regulations – consult a financial expert.
Deferred-Tax Investment Advantages
Tax-deferred investing delays income taxes on investments until you withdraw money resulting in the following advantages:
Always remember that the value of your tax deferral is determined by your tax bracket. Similarly, if you believe you might fall into a higher tax bracket later then it might make sense to pay the the taxes now rather than defer them to a higher tax bracket later.
Before deciding, compare investment options using the Taxable vs. Tax-Deferred Investment Growth Calculator. It will tell you which strategy provides the best future value?
Bottom Line
Whichever account you choose, remember that you will still be paying taxes. Don't put off taxes simply because you prefer to live lavishly now. Likewise, don't pay taxes now in the midst of a dire financial situation. Make your decision using math – not emotion.
Regardless of the tax implications you should make sure to maximize contributions now to secure your retirement later.
Contribute early and often so you can watch your savings grow!

The "family plan" blanket purchase agreements launched by GSA's Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative program are realizing 24 percent savings compared with previous wireless agreements and current average rates across the federal government, according to Mary Davie, assistant commissioner at GSA's integrated technology services.
In fiscal 2014, the average monthly adoption growth through January has exceeded 100 percent, according to an April 3 blog post by Davie. As the FSSI Wireless program continues to grow, Davie said she thinks the federal government will realize 24 cents savings for every dollar spent on wireless services and devices.
The BPA deals unveiled by GSA last May include three basic services packages available from AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and Verizon. The packages are split into voice-only, data add-on and data-only. All three packages are metered, with pooled minutes for voice and data-only. Voice-only users can choose from 100, 400 and 900 minute plans, while data add-on and data-only users can select from 50 MB, 500 MB and 5 GB buckets.
GSA has added the option to use both eBuy and reverse auction to buy FSSI wireless services, which can lower costs even more, Davie said.
Correction: Because of incorrect information supplied by GSA, an earlier version of this story misstated the amount of savings the program has provided.

A guide to Windows/Linux dual boot on RAID
This is a guide explaining how to dual boot Windows and Linux off a single RAID array. It was tested with a RAID0 array but it should work with all types. I originally followed this guide but it didn't specify how to install both Linux and Windows on the same array.
Why "fake" raid?
There are three ways to control a RAID array, hardware, software and fake. Hardware is when you have a dedicated RAID card that does all the work, leaving no work for the CPU, therefore yielding the best performance, and since it is connected to the control card it has maximum mobility, that is: You can transfer the array between system worry-free. Software RAID let's the operating system take care of the RAID array, this should be the easiest to set up and is recommended unless you want to dual boot Linux and Windows off a single array. Fakeraid let's the southbridge control the array, and therefore both Windows and Linux can see and use the array.
There are more ways to install Linux on a fakeraid array, for example using the alternative CD, but I strongly prefer this method.
1. Set up your SATA configuration to RAID in BIOS, save and exit.
2. After the POST screen, a RAID configuration screen should be visible, opting you to press a key to enter the configuration (CTRL+I in my case). Set up your RAID configuration, this varies between motherboards, so I suggest you look into your motherboard manual if you have problems.
You should now have a working RAID array
Against the common procedure, we have to install Linux before Windows. This is because Windows partitions the array in a way Linux can't read, but Windows can read the Linux partitioning.
3. Put in your Linux live CD, I used Ubuntu 9.04, and this should also work on 9.10. I have yet to test it on other distributions, I would love some feedback.
4. Boot up the live session.
5. Open up a terminal and type in these commands
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dmraid
If you are using another kind of RAID than RAID0 or RAID1 you must execute this command
sudo modprobe dm-raid4-5
sudo dmraid -ay
7. Set up the partitioning using gparted (if gparted is not found you must do 'sudo apt-get install gparted' first)
sudo gparted
9. Now create a NTFS partition on the rest of the drive. If you have less than 4GB of RAM I recommend creating a 4GB SWAP partition at the end of the drive. Now your partitioning scheme should look like this.
10. Apply the settings and close gparted. Now start up ubiquity (install shortcut on desktop).
11. Install as you normally would, and when you get to the partitioning, click manual and edit the EXT3/EXT4. Use it as EXT3/EXT4, format it and set the root as / and if you crated a swap partition edit it and select use as swap.
12. At the last step click advanced and uncheck "Install GRUB". We will install grub manually later.
13. Finish installing, now put in your Windows installation CD/DVD.
14. If you are using Windows XP you will need a floppy with your RAID drivers, if you are using Vista you will need a floppy/USB/local folder with RAID drivers while Windows 7 might have your RAID drivers by default.
15. Select your language, click Install Now, and custom. Now select the second partition on your RAID array and install on it. It should install without problems because it was set up correctly as NTFS.
16. Finish installing windows.
17. Boot into the live CD again.
18. Once again
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dmraid
sudo mount /dev/mapper/isw_dejihacffa_raid1 /mnt/
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev/ sudo mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc/ sudo mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys/ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf sudo chroot /mnt
apt-get update apt-get install dmraid grub
mkdir /boot/grub/
cp /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/* /boot/grub/
24. Now run grub
device (hd0) /dev/mapper/isw_dejihacffa_raid1 find /boot/grub/stage1 root (hd0,0) setup (hd0)
If 'fine /boot/grub/stage1' shows something else than 0,0, for example 1,0, then do 'root (hd1,0)
25. Now you can create a menu.lst by running
nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1
echo dm-raid4-5 >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules update-initramfs -uCode:
nano /etc/modules
This guide was heavily based on the ubuntu community fakeraid guide
I will update this guide as necessary, and any suggestions are welcome.
If you have any questions feel free to ask them in this thread, and I will do my best to help you.

If you have already formatted the partition in Windows, Linux can't see it. You need to format all partitions from Linux.
To get dual booting working, you need to erase everything of the RAID and start fresh.Gigabyte Z68X-UD7 (EK P67A-UD7)| i7 2600K @ 5.0GHz (Heat Killer 3.0)

Wow, I read your guide several times from the Google search result but I did not realize just how old the guide was until I found this thread and its date lol. So, please forgive me for bringing it back to life but I feel I have no choice but to revive it considering Ubuntu 14.04 has made some changes regarding FakeRAID.
OK, here goes. I have a R3E (since your a member of an overclocking forum I am going to assume you know what that is) and a Xeon Hexa-Core Gulftown X5650 running at 4ghz as my daily driver. I also have 12gb of tri channel Ripjaws, and two Samsung 840 Pro's in RAID0 on the ICH10R. I spent the last week trying to get Ubuntu to install into the pre-formatted ext4 partition (created by miniTools Partition Wizard) that I already created for it, but until today I was not aware it wasn't possible. So, after a perfect Windows install (days of work) it looks like I have to re-do the entire thing just to get Ubuntu sharing the same array as Windows. But I have a few questions since it appears you probably already know the answers.
1. I have read some people say that Ubuntu on FakeRAID sharing the same array can slow down the Windows OS. Is this True?
2. Is Intels FakeRAID just as fast in Ubuntu as it is for Windows? My Windows 8.1 install is screaming fast, instant at just about everything I ask of it.
3. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS has replaced dmraid (now deprecated) with mdadm (now has FakeRAID support). Does this effect the steps in your Guide, and if so do you know what we would need to do differently for 14.04? This guy Dean managed to get it working with FakeRAID but what he says and what I have on my screen sound differently. Will his guide work and why did GRUB fail him?
I contacted you simply because at the bottom of your guide you said you did not mind having people asking questions on this. Well, I would REALLY love some one-on-one help, overclocker to overclocker. I consider using Ubuntu in RAID mode as overclocking it, haha...
Any tips would be much appreciated as I am growing angry at Ubuntu for making this so difficult and wasting so much of my time this week but at the same time its the only distro I care to run. Thank you Sydney

EDIT: OK, some good news. Well I tried this guide and several others but my hardware config refuses to work exactly like yours did. I did manage to get Ubuntu installed though after a gazillion tries, but now I am left with a unallocated partition for Windows. Every time I install Windows and then go back to the live session nothing works as above, not even close. Boot-repair also does not work while I am in the live session, not properly anyway. I tried using EasyBCD but that destroyed several installation attempts in the last few days.
So, is it still possible to install Windows on the unused partition? I mean I know it is, but can it be fixed after the install? I've already tried it and I keep failing, so what am I doing wrong?
Oh and one last thing, Windows 8.1 refuses to use a NTFS formatted partitions that was done by gparted. I was forced to delete the partition gparted created and let Windows recreate it itself. That was the ONLY way Windows would install on the second partition, otherwise it threw up a Warning message that it was corrupt or invalid or something, lol. Man this is difficult haha

When Travis Dickey opened the first Dickey's Barbecue Pit in 1941, the menu offered beef brisket, pit hams, barbecue beans, potato chips, drinks, and that's all. By focusing on perfecting the flavors of a few dishes, Travis was able to increase quality, and, ultimately, customers. Patrons were so enamored of the food that the restaurant eventually expanded into a nationwide franchise, allowing Americans all over to wear badges made of barbecue sauce. Dickey's has been passed on to Travis's sons, but not much else has changed—the quality meats are still seasoned and smoked onsite, and except for the addition of spicy cheddar sausage in 2011, the menu has remained largely the same for the last 50 years.
Regional meats ensure that the most succulent Texas-style chopped beef brisket, old-recipe polish sausage, and fall-off-the-bone pork ribs make it to tabletops. Sides such as mac 'n' cheese and green beans with bacon continue to enhance feasts with an extra punch of homestyle tastiness. Each meal comes complete with complimentary ice cream, soft rolls, and dill pickles.

Versatile stripping and cutting tool can be used with RG59/6, RG7/11 coaxial cables, round networking cables and flat telephone cables.
My company uses PPC PerfectFlex RG6 cable which seems to be pretty picky about strippers. These strippers suffer from the same issue as just about all strippers with this blade design seems to have. Since the "larger" blade has the conductor cutout, a few stragglers of the braiding tends to wrap around the conductor. Works fine with some of the other RG6 cables I've come across.

Asura's Wrath is an action game, published by Capcom and developed by CyberConnect2, released February 21st, 2012 in the US, February 23rd, 2012 in Japan, February 24th, 2012 in Europe, and March 9, 2012 in the UK.The short version: A guy called Asura punches demigods in the face and screams a lot.The long version: Asura is one of the eight Guardian Generals, demigods assigned to protect the world of Gaea and its inhabitants from the Gohma. After their latest victory, the other seven demigod generals kill his wife, kidnap his daughter, and frame him for murdering the emperor, all in an attempt to destroy the Gohma once and for all. When Asura confronts them, he is killed and cast down to Naraka. But a mere thing like death cannot keep a demigod like Asura down for long, and quite understandably, he is pissed. After spending several millennia climbing out of Naraka and emerging into a very changed mortal world, Asura sets out to rescue his daughter and get his revenge on his fellow Guardian Generals, who now call themselves the Seven Deities.While very much a revenge story through and through, it explores a surprising variety of themes, ranging from Familial love (Particularly Father and Daughter and brotherly love) to showing, ironically enough the true consequences of being an embodiment of unstoppable rage, just how far someone would have to go to save the world, and above all else, the consequences of a Martyrdom Culture worshiping some of the most horrific Jerkass Gods ever found in fictionland, they themselves revealed to be the byproducts of an even worse god who watches over all of them. This does not distract from the awesome visuals, spectacular fight scenes and just plain over-the-topness.As per The Wiki Rule, it has a wiki right here.Asura will get his first crossover appearance in the crossover social game Capcom All Stars.Not to be confused with Asura Cryin' and definitely not with Asura.

End-Stage Renal Disease:
Medicare Should Pay a Bundled Rate for All ESRD Items and Services
GAO-07-1050T: Published: Jun 26, 2007. Publicly Released: Jun 26, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO provided to Congress, as requested, a statement for the record on Medicare payments for certain drugs provided to patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a condition of permanent kidney failure. Through Medicare's ESRD benefit, patients receive a treatment known as dialysis, which removes excess fluids and toxins from the bloodstream. Patients also receive items and services related to their dialysis treatments, including drugs to treat conditions resulting from the loss of kidney function, such as anemia and low blood calcium. Detailed information on the prudence of bundling payments for all ESRD items and services and a recommendation to establish a bundled payment system as soon as possible are included in our report entitled End-Stage Renal Disease: Bundling Medicare's Payment for Drugs with Payment for All ESRD Services Would Promote Efficiency and Clinical Flexibility. This report, along with a testimony statement, was released at a December 6, 2006, hearing of the full Committee on Ways and Means. Today's statement highlights the information in that report and refers to information other witnesses presented at the hearing.
The way Medicare currently pays for injectable drugs provided to patients during dialysis treatments helps explain the potential for these drugs to be overused. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that administers the Medicare program, divides ESRD items and services into two groups for payment purposes. In the first group are dialysis and associated routine services--such as nursing, supplies, equipment, and certain laboratory tests. These items and services are paid for under a composite rate--that is, one rate for a defined set of services. Paying under a composite rate is a common form of Medicare payment, also known as bundling. In the second group are primarily injectable drugs and certain laboratory tests that were either not routine or not available in 1983 when Medicare implemented the ESRD composite rate. These items and services are paid for separately on a per-service basis and are referred to as "separately billable." Medicare's composite rate, which was not automatically adjusted for inflation, covered progressively less of the costs to provide routine dialysis services, while program payments for the separately billable drugs generally exceeded providers' costs to obtain these drugs. As a result, dialysis facilities relied on Medicare's generous payments for separately billable drugs to subsidize the composite rate payments that had remained nearly flat for two decades. In addition, the use of the separately billable drugs by facilities became routine, and program payments for these drugs grew substantially. In 2005, program spending for the separately billable drugs totaled about $2.9 billion. Medicare's approach to paying for most services provided by health care facilities is to pay for a group--or bundle--of services using a prospectively set rate. For example, under prospective payment systems, Medicare makes bundled payments for services provided by acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities. In creating one payment bundle for a group of associated items and services provided during an episode of care, Medicare encourages providers to operate efficiently, as providers retain the difference if Medicare's payment exceeds the costs they incur to provide the services. Medicare's composite rate for routine dialysis and related services was introduced in 1983 and was the program's first bundled rate. Experts contend that a bundled payment for all dialysis-related services would have two principal advantages. First, it would encourage facilities to provide services efficiently; in particular, under a fixed, bundled rate for a defined episode of care, facilities would no longer have an incentive to provide more ESRD drugs than clinically necessary. Second, bundled payments would afford clinicians more flexibility in decision making because incentives to prescribe a particular drug or treatment are reduced. For example, providers might be more willing to explore alternative methods of treatment and modes of drug delivery if there were no financial benefit to providing more drugs and services than necessary. In response to a congressional mandate that CMS study the feasibility of creating a bundled payment, the agency issued a study in 2003 concluding that developing a bundled ESRD payment rate was feasible and that further study of case-mix adjustment--that is, a mechanism to account for differences in patients' use of resources--was needed. In the MMA, the Congress required CMS to issue a report and conduct a 3-year demonstration of a system that would bundle payment for ESRD services, including drugs that are currently billed separately, under a single rate. Both the CMS report, due in October 2005, and the demonstration, mandated to start in January 2006, are delayed.
