The frustration is growing.
We have a backup drive which started to give up, the message is Unrecognised tape, 'please insert over writable media' we have a selection of tapes which are in a rotation, so I know that the tapes are perfectly ok, all the tape tools including the Sony tape tool work great, even if we select a small amount of files to backup it works great, but as soon as we do our normal backup it fails with the above message.
Our Backup server (a mirror of our main server setup) is working fine with all the same setup and backuo routunes.
The tapes are nowhere near capacity as they are 260gb compressed but the backup it not even getting as far as writing the data to the tape
We had the tape drive replaced on the server and I have tested using sony tape backup.
Vertias is still asking for over writable media.
We are getting a bit dazed to why this is happening, has anyone experienced this, or similar, any ideas?

Concurrent Receipt
Concurrent Receipt
During his eight-year chairmanship, and as the ranking member of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Jay Rockefeller worked hard to make sure that military personnel who make a career of serving their country are not forced to subtract their VA service-connected disability benefits from their hard-earned retirement pay.
Senator Rockefeller fought for a successful provision to improve so-called "concurrent receipt" for many veterans, and he continues to fight to expand and improve concurrent receipt for all veterans.
The measure he supported authorizes all career military retirees with VA disability ratings of 50 percent or higher to have concurrent receipt phased in over a 10-year period. No application is necessary for the phase in, which started January 1, 2004. Each following year, until 2014, the payment amount increases by approximately 10 percent. By January 2014, these veterans and higher ratings will be entitled to full concurrent receipt of military retired pay and VA disability compensation.In addition, Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) was expanded to include all combat or hazardous duty disabilities from 10 percent to 100 percent, effective January 1, 2004. Retirees must apply to their parent service for CRSC payments, but there is no phase-in period for CRSC.

I recently read the Witherspoon Institute's teaser article about attitudes toward seven different aspects of sexual morality in America from an upcoming study by Mark Regnerus. Regnerus concludes that
"Churchgoers who oppose same-sex marriage sense that they are out of step with the rest of the nation about sex and relationships. (The numbers above reinforce that.)"
I want to briefly re-analyze his reported data to show you why the reported data, if anything, show the direct opposite of this conclusion.
We'll start with the first survey item, "Viewing pornography is OK". Regnerus reports that 31.4% of the population agreed or strongly agreed with that statement. So what is the majority position on pornography? Regnerus' own data show that 68.6% of people do not agree or strongly agree that viewing pornography is OK (to work this out, take 100%, the total population, then subtract 31.4%, the population average for agree or strongly agree). Now it might be that the majority position is that people do not think pornography is OK, but we don't know that for certain because the 68.6% may also include neutral people and those who are undecided, which might drop 68.6% down to below 50%. The key point is this: whatever the majority population position on porn is, it is not that viewing pornography is OK.
If we then look at all the survey items, taking the majority to be the usual 50%, and then look at the population findings reported by Regnerus, we find that the population does not have a majority of people agreeing or strongly agreeing on any of the seven issues.
To state this again, the population overall does not have a majority of people who agree or strongly agree with any of the sexual morality statements.
Now, if we look at the majority position among Christians who oppose SSM and then compare it to the population majority, we find that Christians who oppose SSM hold the majority position on most issues (that majority position not being to agree or strongly agree with any of the seven statements):
The exception (highlighted in bold above), is that churchgoing Christians who oppose SSM think couples should stay together for the children but the population doesn't think so.
Overall, if we look for a simple majority, none are in the direction reported by Regnerus. His conclusions are the opposite of what his data actually show. However, I would strongly advise not taking my conclusions at face value either. There are many other holes in Regnerus' research, from the fact that the population results double-dipped and included the Christians as well, to his misunderstanding of how population based samples can still be biased (and I strongly suspect the real devil is in the detail on this point), to the ambiguous questions (I could disagree with the statement "Porn is OK" either because I think viewing porn is terrible or because I think it is wonderful, not merely OK).
In fact, the holes are so big they probably would fill the Albert Hall, and I would ignore these findings completely, because there is every chance this research is just as dubious as Regnerus' other research. However, if you do take the numbers seriously, then the conclusions are as follows:
1. The majority sexual opinion is nowhere near as sexually liberated as one might imagine (the majority position is not to agree or strongly agree with things such as porn or abortion, but it is to not stay together for the kids).
2. Christians who oppose SSM hold the same majority position as the population on 6 out of 7 issues (the difference being that they would still stay together for the kids).

American parents believe in behavior modification. They believe that the same principles that govern the behavior of a rat or a dog also govern the behavior of a human being. Therefore, they think the discipline of a child is a matter of manipulating reward and punishment. Furthermore, they think that if one manipulates reward and punishment properly, the correct behavior will ensue. If it does not, then they reason that they must not have used the proper consequences.
Do you find that you keep missing stains on your clothes when you wash them? The solution may be as simple as improving the lighting next to your washing machine. Either install a brighter bulb or add a spotlight. If you can see your clothes better, you have a better chance of seeing the stains and pre-treating them before they go in the wash.

Do you have a lamp or light fixture in your home in which light bulbs just don't seem to last that long? If so, you need to know this. There are two main culprits that cause incandescent light bulbs to burn out prematurely: excessive heat and vibration. The simple solution is to just stop using an incandescent bulb in the fixture and use a compact fluorescent. Compact fluorescents are not affected by heat or vibration. About a year ago I was having a real problem with the lights in my garage door opener. I was changing bulbs every month ...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013)
A mood stabilizer is a psychiatric medication used to treat mood disorders characterized by intense and sustained mood shifts, typically bipolar disorder.
Used to treat bipolar disorder,[1] mood stabilizers suppress swings between mania and depression. Mood-stabilizing drugs are also used in borderline personality disorder[2] and schizoaffective disorder.
The term "mood stabilizer" does not describe a mechanism, but rather an effect. More precise terminology is used to classify these agents.
Drugs commonly classed as mood stabilizers include:
Many agents described as "mood stabilizers" are also categorized as anticonvulsants. The term "anticonvulsant mood stabilizers" is sometimes used to describe these as a class.[5] Although this group is also defined by effect rather than mechanism, there is at least a preliminary understanding of the mechanism of most of the anticonvulsants used in the treatment of mood disorders.[citation needed]
In routine practice, monotherapy is often not sufficiently effective for acute and/or maintenance therapy and thus most patients are given combination therapies.[13] Combination therapy (atypical antipsychotic with lithium or valproate) shows better efficacy over monotherapy in the manic phase in terms of efficacy and prevention of relapse.[13] However, side effects are more frequent and discontinuation rates due to adverse events are higher with combination therapy than with monotherapy.[13]
Most mood stabilizers are primarily antimanic agents, meaning that they are effective at treating mania and mood cycling and shifting, but are not effective at treating acute depression. The principal exceptions to that rule, because they treat both manic and depressive symptoms, are lamotrigine, lithium carbonate and quetiapine.
Nevertheless, antidepressants are still often prescribed in addition to mood stabilizers during depressive phases. This brings some risks, however, as antidepressants can induce mania, psychosis, and other disturbing problems in people with bipolar disorder—in particular, when taken alone. The risk of antidepressant-induced mania when given to patients concomitantly on antimanic agents is not known for certain but may still exist.[14] The majority of antidepressants appear ineffective in treating bipolar depression.[14]
Antidepressants cause several risks when given to bipolar patients. They are ineffective in treating acute bipolar depression, preventing relapse, and can cause rapid cycling. Studies have been shown that antidepressants have no benefit versus a placebo or other treatment. Antidepressants can also lead to a higher rate of non-lethal suicidal behavior. Relapse can also be related to treatment with antidepressants. This is less likely to occur if a mood stabilizer is combined with an antidepressant, rather than an antidepressant being used alone. Evidence from previous studies shows that rapid cycling is linked to use of antidepressants. Rapid cycling is defined as the presence of four or more mood episodes within a year's time. Evidence suggests that rapid cycling and mixed symptoms have become more common since antidepressant medication has come into widespread use. There is a need for caution when treating bipolar patients with antidepressant medication due to the risks that they pose.[citation needed]
Use of mood stabilizers and anticonvulsants such as lamotrigine, carbamazapine, valproate and others may lead to chronic folate deficiency, potentiating depression.[citation needed] Also, "Folate deficiency may increase the risk of depression and reduce the action of antidepressants."[15] L-methylfolate (also formally known as 5-MTHF or Levofolinic acid), a centrally acting trimonoamine modulator, boosts the synthesis of three CNS neurotransmitters: dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Mood stabilizers and anticonvulsants may interfere with folic acid absorption and L-methylfolate formation. Augmentation with the medical food L-methylfolate may improve antidepressant effects of these medicines, including lithium and antidepressants themselves, by boosting the synthesis of antidepressant neurotransmitters.[citation needed] However, the U.S. National Institutes of Health issued a warning caution about the use of L-methylfolate for patients with bipolar disease. [1]
Many mood stabilizers are also anticonvulsants. A notable exception being lithium.[citation needed]
The precise mechanism of action of Lithium is still unknown, and it is suspected that it acts at various points of the neuron between the nucleus and the synapse. Lithium is known to inhibit the enzyme GSK-3b. This has the effect relieving pressure on the circadian clock - which is thought to be often malfunctioning in people with bipolar disorder - and positively modulates gene transcription of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). The resulting increase in neural plasticity may be central to lithium's therapeutic effects. Lithium may also increase the synthesis of serotonin.
All of the anti-convulsants routinely used to treat bipolar disorder are blockers of voltage-gated sodium channels, affecting the brain's glutamate system. For valproic acid, carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine, however, their mood-stabilizing effects may be more related to effects on the GABAergic system. Lamotrigine is known to decrease the patient's cortisol response to stress.
One possible downstream target of several mood stabilizers such as lithium, valproate, and carbamazepine is the arachidonic acid cascade.[16]

Whenever I ask Xavier to "put his listening ears on" he responds by striking a finer in either ear and shouting "I ready!"
I can't tell if that's sarcasm or irony.

I've got my license when I was seventeen. But my car died the same year, an after that I moved to the "big city" where I didn't really need a private vehicle, so in actual fact, I haven't really been behind the wheel that much. Actually, thinking about it, the time between when I stopped driving and now is about as long as the time between when I got my license and when I learned to walk.
I'm old.
Also, I'm really not a qualified driver.
So, I'm taking lessons again. I'm on my way to my second lesson now. My first lesson was super nerve wracking, and not at all helped by the fact I'm learning on the other side of the road. Considering how little time I've actually spent driving, it was absolutely shocking to me how badly I wanted to drive on the right side of the road. If I turned onto a road with other cars, it was ok. I could just follow the leader. Onto an empty road though and it was right lane ahead!
The other annoying thing is that my wipers kept coming on every time I signalled left or right. I made a mental note to ask the instructor if his car needed servicing when I see him next.

If I had the know-how, this is what I'd build.
I'd build a filter for the internet that counted the number of horrible things that people try to show me, and brought it down to a manageable number.
I don't need to see every story about every grieving widow, child or parent to know that there is sadness in the world. I don't need to see ten stories in the same paper on the same day about the same event to be informed about the news. When it's overwhelming, it makes people sad and complacent, not informed.
I would love to take all of the terrible, awful, no good and generally depressing link-bait that are used to generate ad revenue and run it through a single channel, and then turn down the volume so low that maybe the little bits of happiness that make it into the daily news would actually get some eyeballs.
With enough views, it might just encourage the major news companies to start baiting me with happiness, and inspiration, and pictures of new life instead of the grotesque horror show that passes for popular news. And maybe, if enough people saw as much good about the world as we see bad today, that would be enough to make things just a little bit better for all of us.
So, that's what I'd build, if I had the know how.

Xavier and Sarah were downtown the other day and Xavier insisted on getting his photo taken with the Game of Thrones throne. He also insisted on making that terrible face. Maybe this is his tough-guy look?
04 Friday Jul 2014
A few weeks back we had a guest lecturer come round the office who specializes in travel hacking. Over the years our family has had a running discussion around when, exactly, is the best time to purchase a plane ticket (Sarah and I figured, not too early, and not too late was best) so I thought I'd ask and get the right answer.
The short version:
If you are paying cash, book the ticket as far ahead as you can.
Longer version:
When you go to book a ticket, you normally only consider which kind of fare it is: economy, premium economy, business, first, etc. However, within each fare type, there are several different fare classes. For example, on a particular airline, there might be 6 different economy tickets, each with different prices and restrictions. The most expensive, known as full-fare economy (the Latitude fare on Air Canada) is often more expensive than the cheapest business class, but it comes with features like return, exchange and upgradability.
Anyhow, these different fare classes are always available on a flight, but they have two restrictions. First, only so many tickets of each class is made available for each flight (so, maybe there are only 4 tickets available for the cheapest economy fare). Second, each fare class has an expiry date that kicks in a few days before the flight takes off. The magic cut off days are 50, 21, 7 and 3 days. So, until 50 days before a flight you can book all classes, and 49 days before some kinds of tickets become unavailable.
This means that booking a ticket way in advance should prevent any issues with the fare cut offs, and is likely to make it easier to get one of the limited availability cheap seats.
There are only two possible downsides to booking a ticket as far in advance as possible.
First, it's possible that by waiting you might find a seat sale that's made available at a later date. This is a bit of a gamble though.
Second, if you are booking on points, seats are all in the same category – and actually some seats will open up the closer you get to the flight date. In particular, he said if you want business class seats, they tend to open within 3 days of flying (that's too close for me though).

I spent part of Friday and all of Saturday refereeing a robotics competition. It was amazing!
The game is called Aerial Assist, and it's sponsored by the First Robotics Competition – an organisation that organises robotics education and games for kids and uni students.
Each team consisted of four players and a rather sizeable robot. Teams rotated trough different combinations of red vs blue, with three teams aside. The fact that your opponent in one round may be your team mate in a later match helped to keep things sporting. During game play, the two teams fought for control of one of two balls on the field, and we're awarded points for scoring in a high or low net, passing between robots, and pitching the ball over a crossbeam mid field. You could also be awarded points if the other team commits a foul – most of which were safety related.
There's a good video explaining the match rules here. Or, a video of a real match.
I know a lot of folks who would have a great deal of fun at these things. The kids involved work closely with mentors who teach them mostly about construction (wiring, welding, metal work, mechanics, drive trains, etc) and a little about programming. In addition to the physical robot, you also have to wire up control systems so that you can drive your robot using a joystick or similar. Additionally each round begins with an automated component during which the robots are given ten seconds to try and score a goal on their own. Bonus points are awarded if you score I a net that is specially marked at the beginning if the round, so it pays to teach your robot to "see" which is the correct net.
Aside from all the engineering work, which happens pre match, there's also the strategy in the competition, and some skill in driving your creation. As the day went on you could see strategies emerging, similar to a simple soccer match. Teams would choose one robot to run defence and block opponent goals, another to score (usually a robot who could score in the top net for more points) and a "centre" to run the ball between your defence and offence, which helps to rack up assists.
There was something for just about everyone, and pretty good stadium seating for spectators who cheered or danced to keep things lively during the day.
I did check to see if this exists in Canada – most of the folks I know who would be keen live in BC or the east coast. There are some teams, but not in these places. It does t take long to do well, this year a rookie team made it to the semifinals, and another finished in the winners group of three. I see that Alberta got involved last year, and they already have a load of teams, so it could happen. It just needs some interested coaches and mentors.

Our computer has had it. Or nearly had it. Or maybe it was done a year ago and we just didn't notice. In any case, the workhorse that we bought needs to be put out to pasture. Getting a replacement is hard though!
Our machine is pretty close to seven years (that's, like, 102 in computer years) old now. It's run wonderfully through most of that time, in no small part because we bought a top end spec. (To make WoW that much prettier). So what's so hard about doing the same thing again? Well, a couple of things.
Computers are expensive. At least the top end ones. Sarah specced out something just shy of 4k the first time I sent her to the apple store.
Computers are complicated. we are at a point where there are too many qualifiers, and the path to more better isn't just at the high end of the numerical scale. Do I want dual or quad core i5s or i7s? What about hdd, ssd, or fusion (that's like teriyaki burritos, right?)? And is 3.2gHz from 2012 better than 1.6 from 2014? Sounds like it depends. On a lot of things.
I've got two conflicting deadlines. If I buy before the end of June, I can get a tax rebate by end of October. If I wait till October, I can (probably) get next years model. Apple always does a refresh of something in October time frame.
Not to mention, seven years later I now have a few other things that I like spending money on. Like Daycare and visits to North America.
At least for the time being I've got a strategy. Watch the refurb selections in the apple store. If anything with an SSD or Teriyaki Taco drive pops
up before July, I'll pounce.
Until then I'm going to stick the old iMac into morse code mode and hope for the best.
11 Wednesday Jun 2014
Today, Xavier's best friend moves away. He's taking Sarah's best friend with him.
Sarah I'm sad for, but she's an adult. She understands what's happening, and why, and she has the ability to make new friends more freely than a 3 year old. Xavier on the other hand still doesn't really grasp what's happening.
"Leland is moving to his Grandmas" we told him. He knows that Grandma's always live on the other end of a plane.
"Big plane!"
"Yes, he's going on a big plane. He's moving. You may not see him again."
"Me big plane! I go with Leland!"
"No, you can't go with Leland. You have to stay with Mommy and Daddy."
And so it goes. He hasn't asked yet when Leland is coming back, but I know that this is coming. His friend, who is a little older, still uses words like vacation and holiday to describe what's happening.
Moving is hard, but being the kid who doesn't move feels at least as hard. In Xavier's case, nothing new and exciting happens, there is no change except for loss. On our end, we are going to try and fill his time over the next two weeks. Partly with fun things to do, and partly with play dates if we can find them. Xavier and Leland (and Sarah and Dani) played together about 6 days a week, so I don't expect we'll be able to fill that gap in their lives. But, given enough toddlers, we might be able to make a dent.

This singer/songwriter from London got her start singing on tracks by mid-'90s electronic-music mavens like William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers. They provided her with fleshed-out musical settings before her songwriting had evolved to the point where she could provide her own; in return, she gave her collaborators' work an element of humanity. Since Trailer Park, her celebrated 1996 debut, Orton has gradually dispensed with the techno-folk trappings that defined her early solo work. On Comfort of Strangers, she does away with them entirely; it's an album of intimately rendered acoustic elegies, focused more than ever on Orton's singing and guitar-playing. Producer Jim O'Rourke (who's worked with Sonic Youth and Wilco, among many others) gives Orton's performances a beautifully understated clarity: warm guitars, rich organ, percussion that sounds like someone tapping your eardrum while wearing a mitten. Her songwriting reflects that sonic coziness; Orton is in confessional mode throughout Comfort.The album seems overly mellow until you dig in and root around.

This book is just awesome. Great book if you like the car business. A must read. I could not stopped reading. It's a great read.
"Wrong Narrator"
Wil Weaton should had been the narrator of "Have Space Suit - Will Travel." Mark Turetsky got annoying to listen to because of his funny candor. The first part of the book was okay, with the 1950 space suit, but it became too out of this world after that. Besides the reader, the story became too much like Star Trek and Mother Thing. I should had enjoyed it more because it's by Robert A. Heinlein, but it felt too much like a comic book with more pictures than words.
"Classic Treasure Hunt"
"King Solomon's Mines" is a classic story on trying to find riches in deep parts of Africa. I'm still that 8 year old boy that still want to find the secret hidden treasure on the map. I don't find Henry Rider Haggard to be dated. The story of King Solomon has been told over and over, such as in Indiana Jones. This book is a great starter for any child that wants to get into reading because they can imagine the treasure box and the elephants. The violence in the book is very tamed. I would rather have my kid reading about fights, killing of animals and trying to survive, instead of letting them have screen time and trying to monitor what they are viewing..
There are times where I want to read a simple story. Nothing to think about, just a great adventure to listen to. A book where I can go back to my childhood, where I can daydream about going on a treasure hunt with wild animals in the jungle.
"Can't Click Elsewhere"
People freaks out when Walmart take over their neighborhood, but what about Amazon? When the Internet got big in the hey days, there were many choices besides Amazon. Even though they might not had the best prices, consumers had a choice to click elsewhere other than Amazon.
Now, Jeff Bezos is becoming another Sam Walton and taking over cyberspace by buying out or bullying other retailers. Bezos is not just a 10,000 pound gorilla, but he is the mother of all homepages whenever you need something to buy.
"The Everything Store" is somewhat an okay read. I don't really consider it to be a business book because there is no technical detail on the business and you don't really learn anything other than Jeff Bezos laugh and bullying. There isn't really enough history in this book on the company. It was mostly about the guy almost always getting his way.
We cannot click elsewhere anymore because its all "An Amazon Company."
In 2008 Amazon bought Audible for 300 million and other than the public library, there aren't any other sites to purchase audiobooks anymore.
"Less Tenderness"
Maybe because their son in-law is a minister now, Claire and Jamie has a lot less tenderness for each other? Maybe as they get older, they are starting to have a different level of passion for one another, instead of brute sex? Maybe Diana Gabaldon got some advise from her male friends that she should focus more on the history than on the love making?
Whatever the case may be, the author had a mission in mind when completing "A Breath of Snow and Ashes." I really had a difficult time at finishing the previous book. I almost had enough with Outlander altogether, but with the coaching from my friends, they told me that #6 would be better. They were right and I am happy that I am listening to them. I thought that "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" thus far is second best to "Voyager." Very solid!
As I get further into the Outlander series, I notice a progression in my discussions with my friends that already caught up. We no longer talk about time travel so much anymore, but we talk a lot more of the time frame. In most novels, the author spans their character's life rapidly and by the end of their books, the main character is either old and dead or old and wheeling off into the sunset.
It's vastly different with Claire, Brianna and Jamie. Diana Gabaldon aged them gradually, as in day by day. For example, when you look in the mirror, many of us don't see ourselves aging until we see the imperfections on our bodies. The style that Gabaldon choose to write is almost like reality. We don't notice the flaws of the characters because they don't leap through years unlike in other stories.
As I get caught up with the series, I hope that my reviews are being more insightful. I know that by discussing to my real life friends and asking questions about the Fraser Family, they too have new ideas about the stone that they haven't thought before.
I really hope they time travel again. I really miss the parallel worlds. That is my biggest peeve in the later parts of Outlander. Diana Gabaldon focuses too much on the upcoming war and homestead, that the stone is another pebble on the beach.
I just wished that Samuel L. Jackson would had told me to eat. He sure told me to sleep.
"Better on Screen"
Lately, I've been on a horror kick and so far I've listened to pretty jacked up stories that have given me goose bumps. I really had high expectations on the first book by Seth Patrick, but "Reviver" didn't really suit my needs. As the first book in a trilogy, it lacked information on the reviver process. There was too much dialogue between the characters that gave no depth into the paranormal world.
I am a visual person and like to see scenes develop in my mind as I follow along, but maybe explaining the paranormal is better on screen than on print? The cover was more scarier than what was inside of the book. Very disappointed.
The story would been better on film because the book should had been a mockumentary instead of characters just talking and acting on the "Reviver."
Ghostbuster is one of my favorite movies of all time, but it would had been a terrible read because its hard to capture the visual into words. Seth Patrick's pages weren't vivid.
"Buy Full Dark, No Stars"
If you are looking to read "A Good Marriage" and "Big Driver", you should buy "Full Dark, No Stars" instead. Both short stories are apart of that book and you will get two more other novellas. I forgot that I already read "A Good Marriage" after I saw the movie. That's why I bought this story again. I was about to buy "Big Driver" after I saw the commercial on Lifetime, but glad that I did some digging because I already read it. Hopefully, they will make "1922" into a film from "Full Dark, No Stars". That is the best story out of the four. As for "A Good Marriage", the movie comes close to the short story.
"His Father's Traits"
I was asking my friend if she read "Horns" by Joe Hill and she suggested that I should pick it up and give it a try. Joe Hill is an offspring of Stephen King, which is awesome because it's another generation of horror. I've read Hill's other book about the Rolls Royce and I wasn't too impressed, but with "Horns", I really enjoyed it and couldn't stop listening. For those who knows his father's work, there is always a demented side in his readers and that's why we keep reading. In his son's writing in Horns, Joe Hill carries his father's traits so good it should made his old man cry by raising him as an excellent writer. It makes me what to read more of his son's work then the King of horror.
"Eyewitness Reporting"
"The Perfect Storm" is a good book. It's not like the movie and all about the big wave, but the book is very technical, where you don't have to know anything about boating or fishing. Everything that you need to know is explain for you, like how to operate a Bilge Pump or what your body goes through when drowning. It's very well written for someone that hasn't experience sea legs. The majority of the second half is about the storm, but instead being narrated in the first person, the author gathers up interviews from eyewitnesses and document the report.
Sebastian Junger could had wrote "The Perfect Storm" as a story with lots of characters rotate through this once in a life time hurricane, but he doesn't. This book has good history and numerous facts. I really think that the author was trying to be apart of the crew that was being saved. Don't ask the unnecessary drama and just report facts and educate the reader.
"Liquid Substance"
The reason why I read "Proof" is for the science of alcohol. Basically, you are taking something fermented and drinking for pleasure or as an addiction. However you take your pleasure or poison, its pretty interesting how ethanol has so many combinations for booze. Adam Rogers covers it all, from the yeast to the common hangover. Good explanations what your body goes through with liquid substance. Just don't drink rubbing alcohol. Mouth wash taste better.

All 5 bodies recovered from Idaho plane crash
The bodies of all five victims of a December plane crash have been recovered from the mountains of central Idaho.
Valley County Coroner Nathan Hess says that the last of the victims was recovered Wednesday afternoon.
The wreckage from the Dec. 1 crash was located Friday by Dellon Smith, the brother of 51-year-old pilot and software executive Dale Smith of San Jose, Calif.
Crews worked Tuesday and Wednesday to recover the bodies.
Sheriff's Lt. Dan Smith says the plane hit about eight trees, broke apart and caught fire.
Officials say Dale Smith was flying from Oregon to Montana with his son Daniel Smith and Daniel's wife, Sheree, of Butte, Mont.; along with Dale Smith's daughter Amber Smith and her fiance, Jonathan Norton. Amber Smith and Norton were students at BYU-Idaho.

On Godless Heathens
September 29th, 2010 | Posted by: Chris Stedman
Today's guest post in NonProphet Status' ongoing series of other contributors is by freelance writer and blogger Emily L. Hauser. Emily, a Jewish woman and frequent writer on Israel/Palestine and Middle East issues, tackles something a bit personal: her marriage to an atheist. Whether you're Jewish, an atheist, or something else altogether, this inspirational writing is a must-read. Take it away, Emily!
Lately Americans have been talking a lot about faith – the Muslim faith. As we grapple with the understanding of just how diverse we are as a people, Americans of good will – Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims – have been striving to help their countrymen learn that we have nothing to fear from Islam. As a believing Jew, I've been right there in the thick of it.
But as I struggle with the fact that so many of my fellow citizens fear a belief system dear to the hearts of 1.5 billion people, I struggle also with another, far less acknowledged, fact: Even more of them fear my husband.
Because he doesn't believe in God at all.
I pray, I keep kosher, my relationship with the Divine plays an enormous role in my life. But my husband? Not so much.
Eran is an unwavering atheist. But because he's a Jewish atheist, and Jews do a lot that can just be about heritage, we've found a fairly easy middle ground. For me, lighting Shabbat candles consecrates the day; for Eran, it's a nice thing to do with the kids. Tomato, tomahto.
Yet I will be the first to admit that the margins of the middle ground are broad, what with me seeking guidance from a Creator whom Eran believes to be all in my head – and I've come to realize that as broad as the margin is on my side, Eran's is equally wide.
He's argued with me for 18 years that there's little room in Western culture for nonbelievers, and I say "argued" because, through he's never been anything but supportive of me, I spent years not really taking him seriously. No room? Please. I have spiritual struggle; he gets to eat bacon.
Like a constant drip on rock, however, his comments began to wear away my ignorance, and I've had to take notice. Americans hold to an unspoken understanding that is so deeply ingrained, it appears to be natural law: A belief in God, we think, is the well from which all morality springs.
Consider, if you will, the word "godless."
The cadences of Scripture run through American thought. We read that "the fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile" (Psalms 14:1), and our highest officials regularly make clear that they believe it.
At our dawn, Thomas Jefferson wrote: "While I claim a right to believe in one God, I yield as freely to others that of believing in three. Both religions, I find, make honest men. …" Much later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower echoed Jefferson, saying that belief in God generates "honesty, decency, fairness." More recently, a pre-Presidential Barack Obama, seeking to reassure nervous Red Staters, declared that we in the Blue States "believe in a mighty God."
Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of the seminal When Bad Things Happen to Good People, took this approach to its logical conclusion in his 1995 book When Children Ask about God: "The person who is good because he believes that certain things are right … need not take literally the image of a divine person in Heaven," he wrote. "[He] believes in God and is acting on that belief."
That is: Even if my husband, a real peach of a guy, doesn't believe in God – he believes in God. He's good, isn't he? Or, in the words of one member of my synagogue: "Oh, don't worry. He'll come around. They always do."
This unease, this distrust, this sense that, really, everyone believes in something! No atheists in foxholes! and so on, this overarching attitude can be seen in cold hard numbers, as well: A 2007 Newsweek poll found that fully 62% of registered voters wouldn't vote for an atheist candidate; a 2003 study by the University of Minnesota found that 40% of Americans believe that atheists "don't agree at all with my vision of American society"—and nearly half wouldn't want their children to marry an atheist. Atheists, the U of M found, were the single least trusted group in the country.
While there's been some powerful water under the bridge since these surveys were conducted – the election of our first "other" President, for instance (a President who has since acknowledged "nonbelievers" on more than one occasion) as well as an apparent increase in our willingness to talk about the atheism, I think I'm safe in thinking that these numbers still broadly reflect the attitudes of believing Americans toward their non-believing brethren. If only because I hear the way my believing brethren talk.
But living with Eran, one of the most truly ethical people I know, I find I can no longer allow such bigotry to pass unremarked. Our beloved American respect for all creeds is revealed as just that: for the creed-ed only. The creed-less need not apply. Even the separation of church and state becomes suspect, as it presupposes, by definition, a church.
When pressed, Eran might allow the vague possibility that Something created the universe, but he's certain that said Something has nothing to do with history or humanity's ability to reach its highest ground. We live, we die, certain things are right, others are wrong – and we can find them without being told.
Recent discoveries in evolutionary biology appear to support this approach, in fact, suggesting that the faculty for developing a moral sense is a genetically designed feature of the human brain. Now, I might argue that God created that faculty in humanity – but I can't know, in any verifiable sense, that Eran is wrong when he disagrees. That's why we call it faith.
Like most Americans, I live my life in the belief that I'm guided and comforted by a being outside me and all human experience – but the bald truth is that I can't know for sure.
I can, however, look to Eran's works and see his goodness, look to his heart and see his honesty, and concede the point: There might not be a God. And my husband is no more prone to corruption and vile deeds than the next guy for thinking so.
What I do know is this: If there's a heaven, Eran's a shoo-in. The mighty God in whom I believe is far too great to care if my husband's righteousness was born in Torah study or his own precious soul.
As a country, we would do better to leave matters of faith to the recesses of private hearts and measure the integrity of our fellow citizens (and elected officials) by their deeds, rather than their affiliations.
Take it from the wife of a godless man.

as an atheist, who is married to a mystic/clergywoman, and does a lot of social work/organizing with religious organizations (many of whom are deeply prejudiced against atheists so I'm often in the closet of don't ask don't tell) I can testify that it doesn't really matter Why people do things but rather it's How and What they do that matters, but this is of course a very secular perspective…

Very nice piece. I've been trying to get people to recognize the facts about distrust of atheists (also around here) for months. As best I can tell it doesn't register.
That atheists are distrusted is a hidden issue, and it's a big one. And this is honest to good the first blog post by a believer that I have seen that takes this in any way seriously. So thank you very much for that. In fact news coverage such as CNN was dismissive on the issue and believers I have talked (and also some non-believers) repeatedly tell me that we deserve the image!
This is quite horrible. When I volunteer my time, I learn quickly that people assume that I'm religious. And even sociological indicators by no means justify the image we have.
Phil Zuckerman has broadly reviewed them and if anything we do just fine. Atheists don't fill prisons, don't do more immoral things. In fact we tend to be highly educated, in favor of social policies that help the underprivileged, very tolerant, and so forth. During WWII atheists were among those most likely to help Jews trying to hide from Nazi persecution.
But the distrust remains despite what is true. We need more people who speak to what atheists as a group are about, and dispel the stereotypes. And we need less people who tell us that we deserve it.

Years ago I was asked to make a presentation describing Jewish beliefs and customs about death to a mainline Christian study group. They were stunned to find that the afterlife was not a large motivator in Jewish theology — why would anyone behave on Earth if there was no punishment/reward post-death? This led – roundabout – to my theory that folks are so antsy about God because to question belief is sure to raise up existential dread: we're alone in the world! There's no purpose! Dead is dead!
On the other hand, to raise issues of belief in certain quarters leads to an opposite existential reaction: What do you mean I'm not in control? There can't be anything bigger than me! It is a sign of weakness to believe.
Given that no one knows definitely whether there is a God or not (we're all shooting in the dark here), the real measure – as others have said – is how we behave in the world and whether we're open to finding out just how wrong we are.

Awesome piece.
I am an Atheist living in a very conservative, Mormon church-centric area of Southern Utah. I believe in Daoism as a philosophy, and I call myself a Daoist because I would be vilified if I came out as an Atheist. In reality, I *am* an Atheist. But if I said so, I'd lose friendships and business opportunities.
Thank you for writing this.

Win 7 freezes due to video card?
After reviewing videos of windows 7. I decided to make a test run of it.
Downloaded and installed without any problems (a big wow, since this desktop didn't like Vista at all).
It's quite a old computer, eMachines T2385, 2.3 GHZ Intel Celeron, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD. With the Intel 82845GL graphics card.
Since the install, 7 was on VGA_SAVE driver. I installed the driver with xp support, no luck, after 2 minutes it freezes completely. Remove and installed with the .inf file only, same problem. Left the VGA_SAVE driver, and it freezes too. TO add, I disabled the 3D acceleration. But no luck.
Any suggestions of installing another driver? OR I'm out of luck with 7?
I'm thinking of installing 7 on my Laptop (Intel 1.4GHz Celeron M , 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD with the intel 915/910GM video card) but I don't know if this problem will repeat....

well it might be the fact that ur old computer can't run DX10.. but even though it's old. I don't think it's THAT old. it should be working.
did you do a CLEAN install.
|My System Specs
|09 May 2009
somehow... somewhat. I disabled completely the hardware acceleration to none. And, right now it's running. I hope it stays that way.
To answer the question, I did a partition of my HDD, separing 20GB out of 80 and do a clean install (with dual boot)
And for windows xp, I can run DX10 without problems, but seems that the failure it's the driver for the 845 card. Since it wasn't updated for vista, it doesn't have the WMMA (or something like that) drivers.

Hello there,
Some people have the same problem with various PC configurations.
What do you do when it freezes is my question? Do you run other applications or it freezes on desktop? If you run games or play videos or just want to try the most effective to some extend solution is to disable AERO. If it gets stable you can fine tune it and disable it only when running programs that make it freeze. For example WOW game is reported to do that often. Rightclick shortcut check in compatibility tab "disable desktop composition".
Best of luck mate

|11 May 2009
The whole dx10 thing in this thread is irrelevant. dx10 is not required for aero or win 7 or vista for that matter.
To the OP; the 845 chipset is very old, sorry. Intel just ditched their old chipsets when vista was released.
|My System Specs
|11 May 2009
To answer the question. It completely freezes the computer, no response at all. ANd AERO isn't enabled, due to the score of..... 1?
I know. DX10 is irrevelant, but my answer was that my computer can run it.
Maybe in some future I update the video card. Or even the whole computer. Maybe I try running linux with this one and go to 7 with my laptop, but I don't know if the 915's have the same problem.... or worse.

The 915 has vista drivers that work in 7, but it won't do Aero either unfortunately. 945 is the first intel chipset to do Aero.

Once the ball crosses half court, the wing who received it across half court speed dribbles in for the lay-up. Meanwhile the opposite wing becomes a defender and sprints to the hoop to either challenge the lay-up or take the charge. O1 rebounds and starts the drill back up the floor.
The first player (player A) in left line speed dribbles up to the three-point line and passes to player B sprinting up the side line, who catches the ball, speed dribbles to the half-court line and passes back to player A, who dribbles to the top of the circle, passes back to player B cutting to the hoop for the lay-up. Player A gets the rebound and drill repeats going back up the opposite side-line.
The second players in line start off once the previous twosome has reached half-court. You can vary this by requiring a jump stop before each pass and after each reception.

The Sedona Red Rock High School swim team traveled south Saturday, Oct. 2, to participate in the Phoenix Country Day Invitational meet.
For the boys, Sedona took second overall, scoring 318 points, while Arcadia High School took gold with an astounding 645 points.
Coming in third was Valley Christian High School with 211, fourth was Phoenix Country Day School with 202 and wrapping up the top five was Gilbert Christian High School with 192.
On the girls side of the pool, the Scorpions scored 200 points to take fourth overall while Arcadia, again, dominated with 675 to take home first place.
Phoenix Country Day took second with 276 while Valley Christian was third with 225.
"We're halfway through the season and the swimmers are really starting to shine," first-year Head Coach A.J. Bronson said. "The kids are really doing great and beginning to stick together as a team."
As a team, the Scorpions had only one first-place finish Saturday when senior Evan Decker took first overall in the 100-yard backstroke event with a 57.51 time.
Decker also took second overall in the 200-yard individual medley with a 2:08.83 time.
Other top performances for Sedona included senior Seth Syvertsen who took fourth overall in the 50-yard freestyle event with a 24.12 time.
Senior Michael Wiseman took sixth overall in the 100-yard freestyle event with a 56.29 time while junior teammate Olivia Luyckx took fifth overall in the same event with a 1:01.23 time.
Luyckx also took fifth in the 500-yard freestyle event with a 6:41.19 time.
On the boys side in the 500-yard freestyle event, Sedona standout freshman Colin Hurkett took second overall with a 5:40.76 time.
In the 100-yard breaststroke event, Seth Syvertsen took fourth overall with a 1:07.56 time.
"We've been having some really great individual swims as well as relays. Both the boys and the girls are working hard," Bronson said.
Next up for the Scorpions, Sedona will welcome Gilbert Christian along with Wickenburg High School in a three-way meet set for Thursday, Oct. 7.
The meet will take place at the Cottonwood Community Pool and is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

way to go swimmers! Nice job
As a community we ought to be very proud of these swimmers who against all odds seem to continually do very very well.

This new coach is outstanding. KUDOS to him. HE appears to be top flight.
As a past swimmer myself, and sometimes lap swimmer currently I know how hard it is to jump in the water and train day after day. My cap goes off to these kids for taking the time to train, each day and night .

As far as coaches goes, this bright young star is a keeper. Sedona RED ROCK, don't let this guy go! I've seen him on deck, and he is thoughtful, engaged and interested.
