Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge 188
Do you find that inspiration comes from the many different places? I do! One of the design team cards got me thinking about the Newsprint dsp which I like very much, but had not used in quite a while. So I settled on using that paper and a color scheme of very vanilla, basic black, and a little bit of real red. Then I sat back and thought about what stamp set I would like to use. All of my stamp sets are stacked in a bookcase that I got at Ikea so usually the ones on top are the only ones I see. But today, one of my stacks was out out alignment so there was one stamp set peeking out from the bottom. That one was Greenhouse Garden. As one of my co-workers likes to say: "light dawns on marble head" and I was off!
I went WAY into the vault on this one and found some red embossing powder that Stampin' Up! used to sell about a million years ago. Actually it wasn't a million years ago. I checked. The last catalog I see it in is the 2006/2007 one. But that's still a long time ago! It shows up really nicely on the basic black cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today! Pin It Now!

Merger maestro.
Bruce Gordon answers the call for Bell Atlantic by helping to build one of the nation's largest telecommunications companiesFOR TELEPHONE CUSTOMERS FROM NEW York to Maine, the hit was direct and swift. In August 1997, they went to bed with NYNEX and woke up in the arms of Bell Atlantic. Almost overnight, the citified Baby Bell was neatly tucked beneath its country cousin's wings in a $26 billion merger that made Bell Atlantic the nation's second largest telecommunications company, behind AT&T.
Long term, that meant melding two different worlds. Short term, it meant a massive rebranding effort to get buy-in from discriminating Northerners. Within six weeks, tons of directories, thousands of buildings, 30,000 trucks, 100,000 pay phones and 28 million telephone bills were brandishing Bell Atlantic's new logo.
New Yorkers, who once looked over to New Jersey in envy as pitchman James Earl Jones touted the virtues of Bell Atlantic, could now lay claim to his commanding voice. Customer service began to gleam in a land where, for so long, it had been lackluster. In just three weeks, consumer awareness of Bell Atlantic as the local phone company went from 4% to 79%, and all was well in Gotham, thanks to Bruce Gordon.
"It was a huge merger," says Gordon. "We had different products, prices, brands and views of the market, and had to take a very detailed and organized approach. That meant having a strong customer marketing team and plan in place to make the Bell Atlantic name appear and the name NYNEX disappear."
As the newly appointed Bell Atlantic group president for retail services--two steps away from the CEO--Gordon was handpicked to lead the merger integration team. Moving from Philadelphia to New York, he worked out his strategy from the 41st floor of what was once NYNEX headquarters near Times Square. His change strategy included everything from customized telephone services and targeted sales campaigns to catchy consumer advertising that uses children's book author and cartoonist Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are characters. His innovations didn't go unnoticed.
"Gordon has been contributing to the success of this business for some 30 years. He has always stepped forward with new ideas and never the passion to see them through," says Bell Atlantic Chairman Ray Smith. "Thanks to his initiative during the merger, we launched what I dare say is the most successful name change and brand campaign of any company in the country. He is a true friend and a valuable leader at Bell Atlantic."
Even though the merger is complete, Gordon's plate is still full. The 52-year-old holds the reins on all retail marketing for the $30 billion company's consumer and business markets, which include some 24 million households and more than 2 million businesses.
Since 1968, when he joined Bell of Pennsylvania, he has scaled the corporate ladder with a dexterity only a select few have mastered. His proof-positive product management and customer service initiatives helped to keep that company buoyant after AT&T cut the cord in 1984. The success or failure of his marketing initiatives directly impacts the $18 billion in revenues of the company's consumer and business markets. He wields a half-billion dollar budget, with $186 million earmarked for advertising, and leads 1,100 of the company's 140,000 employees. He is also a champion of corporate diversity and a tireless catalyst in moving African Americans up the ranks at Bell Atlantic. With a track record too impressive to ignore, Bruce S. Gordon has been selected as the 1998 BLACK ENTERPRISE Executive of the Year.
Gordon stands calm, smack dab in the middle of one of the most volatile industries during one of its most tumultuous times. His steadfast demeanor was honed in Camden, New Jersey, in a close-knit family of five, headed by two educators. Bell of Pennsylvania seemed as good a choice as any for the college football wide receiver and "liberal arts kid" who graduated from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania in 1968.
"I picked a company that offered the most money and would allow me to get back to Philly. I planned to stay only a few years and then move on," recalls Gordon, who joined the company as a management trainee. His cavalier attitude didn't last for long. "Soon after I came into the Bell system, there were talks to convert the monopoly into a competitive business. The whole energy level picked up." Perhaps more influential was the fact that out of the 850 people in the company, only one black person was in a director position. Surely, he reasoned, there was room for him at the top. If not, then he would make room.
"I wasn't a traditional person. Being a child of the '60s, I had a natural resistance to the status quo," says Gordon. In 1970, he had already established a reputation as outspoken, even militant. A weekly column in a suburban Philadelphia paper, Today's Post, became his bully pulpit for speaking out on race relations and other controversial subjects.
Watching Gordon from the sidelines was a sales general manager named Carl Nurick. "He was Jewish and felt that he had also been a victim of discrimination. He liked that I was a black guy who had a lot to say about the business, and we connected on those terms," notes Gordon. When the buzz around Bell of Pennsylvania was to fire the young business office manager, Nurick said "send him to me," and Gordon was moved from customer service into sales. Under Nurick, Gordon's unconventional wisdom and bravado were nurtured.
But he would eventually consider leaving, at least for a moment. Bitten by the academia bug in 1971, Gordon turned in his resignation one Friday to take a job as director of a Philadelphia urban school for academically challenged students. Over that weekend Gordon had second thoughts: he didn't want to bump heads with his father, who was working on a similar project as dean at a local community college. Recalls Gordon, "I called my boss on Sunday and told him I wanted to come back to work."
After regrouping, Gordon sailed through management assignments in operations, personnel, sales and marketing. All the while, he was making a name for himself with a winning marketing philosophy focused on three things what the customer wants, what the competition thinks and what will distinguish the company from the rest of the pack.
Then in 1985, on the heels of deregulation, the AT&T behemoth crumbled into seven regional Bells. Gordon was appointed vice president of sales at what then became the Bell Atlantic Corp. As a Regional Bell Operating Co. (RBOC), Bell Atlantic provided local telephone service for 12 million customers in Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. But the company had to find ways to keep its head above water.
Enter Gordon in 1988, now vice president of marketing and sales. After a year as an Alfred Sloan Fellow at MIT with a freshly minted master's degree in management, he took hold of the 100-year-old corporation and turned it "upside down and inside out."
Gordon admits he can be impatient, compulsive, and intense. Hermann Hesse's novel Siddhartha, about an East Indian merchant in search of the answers of life, has helped him harness those emotions. "As I moved through the business, taking on more responsibility, the book taught me that having balance in my life will make me a better person," notes Gordon, who's learned to summon patience and tranquility when under fire. "However, I also learned that even positive things in excess are a problem."
This philosophy helped Gordon cut costs and revamp operations so that Bell Atlantic could weather the shake-up. In 1994, as group president of consumer and small business services, Gordon launched a mass-marketing program that put kiosks in shopping malls and sales outlets in retail stores such as Sears. Gordon shored up the customer service department by cutting out endless meetings, training sessions and goofing off. He held customer service reps to rigid schedules. As a result, the number of calls answered within 20 seconds--the time it takes before a customer hangs up--jumped from 70% to 90% in two months.
"Bruce is an extraordinary executive whose marketing instincts and skills are unsurpassed," notes Ivan Seidenberg, vice chairman, president and CEO at Bell Atlantic. "We start off with a leg up on the competition because we have him leading our customer care efforts."
Most recently, a 100-day sales campaign resulted in residential customers buying 8.5 million units of discounted optional services such as Caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling and home voice mail at discounted rates. That beat the record for combined sales in any quarter, surpassing the company's goal of 7 million units.
Besides the quantifiable elements, Gordon knows there are things that affect the bottom line that don't fit neatly into any category. One of those is corporate diversity.
During last year's Consortium of Information and Telecommunications Executives conference in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Gordon was the man. His welcoming remarks struck a chord in the hundreds of African American Bell Atlantic employees in attendance. "CEOs don't run the company; middle managers and senior executives do," Gordon said in his speech. "There are 130 African Americans in power positions across this country helping to run this company."
Of the 90 senior-level executives at Bell Atlantic, only 10 are African American. Gordon is striving for more. "We've made substantial progress and Bell Atlantic can be proud and vigilant. But there should be 230 African Americans in power positions." To that end, last September, Gordon held a summit of those 130 Bell Atlantic black managers and executives to discover ways to increase the number of African Americans in the new company. He is also a true friend and mentor to many African American employees at Bell Atlantic.
But that's not all Gordon's passionate about. He's apt to spend an evening listening to Coltrane, the Temptations or Pavarotti. He favors reading the morning paper each day while riding to work on the New York subway rather than in the back of a limo. Divorced, Gordon has made his 21-year-old son, Taurin, a senior at Hampton University in Virginia, his No. 1 priority. He finds time to sit on the boards of the Southern Co. and Bartech Personnel Services, is a member of the Executive Leadership Council, and has served as director of the Philadelphia Urban League and chairman of the United Negro College Fund Telethon. Even in the midst of this whirlwind, the changing telecom landscape and Bell Atlantic's future sit heavily on his mind.
As Bell Atlantic grows, so does the competition. Already, the company faces tough opposition in its local cellular and data markets. The passage of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 has set out the rules for increasing competition and opening up local phone company lines to competitors in return for locals getting into the $80 billion long-distance market. That means that Bell Atlantic may soon compete with MCI and the possible mega-merged entity of AT&T and Tele-Communications Inc. for both local and long-distance customers.
"Bell Atlantic has Maine to Virginia under its belt, and that can't be taken from it," says Philip Wohl, telecommunications analyst at Standard & Poors in New York. "But in order to be competitive, they will have to bundle long-distance, Internet access, local and their crown jewel, wireless service, to drive growth." Other industry watchers seem to agree. "Bell Atlantic is in a good position, but they have to defend their turf if they want to continue to hold a large percentage of the overall market," says Zia Daniell, an analyst with Jupiter Communications in New York. "That share is going to be eaten away by competitors if they don't advance their services."
With 41 million telephone access lines, 6 million wireless customers worldwide and 25% of the U.S. market, Bell Atlantic need not worry about being gobbled up. The company also has sound foreign investments and $10 billion in cash flow each year--adequate resources to expand the business and its customer base.
"We've reached an agreement with the Public Service Commission that is now supporting our entry into the long-distance market," says Gordon. "With FCC proceedings under way, we foresee entering the New York long-distance market by year's end." Bell Atlantic will also increase its offerings of optional services and pursue more joint ventures, such as a recent deal with Black Entertainment Television to bundle its telecommunications services.
As Bell Atlantic forges ahead in the intensely competitive telecommunications arena, Gordon must continue to improve customer relations and develop new strategies to maintain market share. He must also find common ground with the company's labor unions. If past performance is any indication of the future, telecommunications Jokers or Riddlers better be at their best in order to penetrate Gordon's Gotham.

Even some "Funky Cold Medina" won't make Tone Loc look fly right now.
The rapper, born Anthony Smith, was charged in July with assault weapon possession and domestic violence, and today the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office announced that he pleaded no contest to one count each of possession of an assault weapon, a Colt AR-15 Sporter, and corporal injury to his child's mother.
So what's he facing?
MORE: Tone Loc Sings a Not-Guilty Tune
Burbank Superior Court Judge Patrick Hegarty sentenced the 45-year-old to one day in county jail (whoa now), three years of formal probation, 30 days community service and 52 weeks of anger management counseling.
The charges stemmed from a domestic violence incident on June 18. During the investigation, Burbank Police Department officers discovered that Smith was in possession of an unregistered assault weapon, but before you start jumping the gun (pun intended), the firearm was not used in the domestic assault.

Course Description
Within this course, we seek to explore the growth, development, and impact of economic thought. We will treat the process of economic understanding as dynamic--a process defined in part by evolution and change. We will understand economic ideas and concepts to be shaped by the societies in which they appear, necessarily moving in new, interesting, and often conflicting ways. We will also examine how different (and at times competing) bodies of economic thought come into contact, interact, and react--influencing and pushing one another along long and complicated paths of growth and development.
In short, we seek to study how new economic positions and outlooks (our understandings of economic processes) arise in reaction to particular economic and social conditions, including past products of human thought. And of some importance, we seek to explore how the development of economic ideas, as much as any other process, contributes to conditions of social change. We thus seek to understand from where current economic ideas come, and where they take us--and in so doing, develop the means to contribute in new ways to the further evolution and development of original economic thinking.
Texts and Readings
Readings of original texts and other works are available online via this syllabus. You are encouraged--but certainly not required--to purchase an official text to accompany your readings.

2 hours 55 min ago | Arm strength usually is an |
Arm strength usually is an asset. It takes time to learn to take some heat off the ball. I'd bet in the beginning, it's a bit awkward throwing differently like that. Think of the Tigers basically losing the (2006?) World Series on a couple gimme throws because they thought about making it TOO easy it seemed. I really don't think Morris' problem is that he's too arrogant to dial it back. I don't have faith in any particular guy, but you'd think with all the options they have, the winner will be serviceable. Also, some are talking about Speight being Harbaugh's guy, but just from what people say, Malzone seems more like the "gamer" who makes plays that Harbaugh wants. Also, Harbaugh isn't looking for Denard speed at the QB position, but he still likes mobility back there. Does Speight have any? |

2 days 14 hours ago | "Of course some S&C coaches |
"Of course some S&C coaches are significantly better than others." Given what evidence? What S&C coach can you point to making a material difference over another? I talked about it in my post. Running an entire football program is a massive endeavor with a lot of things that can go wrong. A lot of that also involves staying up on the latest trends, being a master tactician, being a great recruiter, just plain luck, etc. Yes, fine details may make a small difference, but S&C isn't nearly as complex. Plenty of average dudes get strong and fast just following a decent routine on a weightlifting website. Probably the most useful aspect of an S&C coach isn't actually having some great wealth of knowledge but making an exercise and diet plan that makes it easy for players to stick to it and to make sure they follow through with it. A lot of people want to think there's some magic formula that's some shortcut to getting big in the gym, and there's not. "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy ass weights." - Ronnie Coleman |

On the umhoops recap, he did address benching them. He said it's a moot point because "in the last couple of minutes, you don't care which way it's going to go." That seems...odd. Closing out the half is usually seen as something pretty important. I don't get why the end of the half doesn't matter. |

Yeah, with all of our returning experience it's hard not to be really optimistic about this year. It would seem with all the competition at QB and Harbs teaching them, the winner has to be at least decent. |

That was basically my post in one sentence lol. |
3 days 2 hours ago | Of course there could be |
Of course there could be someone employed who is bad, but how is someone who doesn't know about weightlifting going to get a job at a major college program? Yeah, sure if the team just jumped rope 5 minutes a day, no one would make games. Therefore, what? Wellman is a terrible S&C coach? Wellman was doing exactly the thing you're talking about with Tolbert. We've had this dumb debate with every new S&C coach. The new guy is a weightlifting God/genius (one isn't enough), and the old guy didn't know anything. That has happened with Barwis and Wellman and now with Tolbert. Again, it's not that having a good S&C coach isn't important, it's that anyone at this level is going to be good. Also, there's no real secret to weightlifting. Yes, there are a lot of things you can tweak and optimize and all that, but if you've got a an S&C coach worth a damn, he's going to have 98% of what you need. Football changes because of philosophy and rules and a bunch of other stuff, so having a coach who hasn't fallen behind in the game is important, but our bodies are still the same. It's not like some coach is going to come in and do, I don't know, pyramid training, and all of a sudden the team is twice as strong and fast as any other in the nation. Whatever difference there is between S&C coaches is made totally insignificant in how the players are taught the actual game, recruiting, time management in games, etc. |
3 days 3 hours ago | The problem is what coach doesn't have that 2 foul |
The problem is what coach doesn't have that 2 foul policy? Has there ever been an mgoquestion at a presser asked about it? It's naive to think he would change because of that but it's so maddening. It was maddening even when NC did the same against Duke when they last played. Nc took out their best player with four fouls for a good chunk of the second half. |
3 days 20 hours ago | Well, assuming everything |
Well, assuming everything else would have stayed the same with players leaving and getting injured, they still would have been nowhere near great, but they definitely would be much better and it would have been a lot of fun seeing him make that play for us instead of OKC. |

Well, usually logos don't work because they're not letters... I don't think we should wear them all the time, but they're not that bad. And more importantly, they're authentic. They're actual throwbacks. Some NFL teams have horrific throwback jerseys, but for one game out of the year, I think it's cool. The '89 throwbacks haven't been a regular thing, have they? We should definitely wear them once a year. |

And Oklahoma. Does "top suitor" mean most attractive school? Is South Carolina really a top suitor in Texas? I'd take out about half of the SEC and substitute A&M, Baylor, and TCU. Baylor and TCU aren't historically good (though TCU might have been pretty good before IIRC), but they're good now with good facilities and they're in-state. Stewart Mandel occasionally ranks programs in tiers too. This is what he did in 2012: http://www.si.com/more-sports/2012/07/11/kings-barons-knights-peasants-m... He has 13 teams in the top tier and Michigan is in it. Hard to argue with it. |

Evaluate the competitive strategies for firms in foreign markets:

f. Private equity investment
g. Wholly owned subsidiaries
Evaluate the competitive strategies for firms in foreign markets:
a. Niche market exporting
b. Licensing and contract manufacturing
c. Franchising
d. Joint ventures
e. Foreign branching
f. Private equity investment
g. Wholly owned subsidiaries
This answer falls in the large section in the text titled "Competitive Strategies for Firms in Foreign Markets."
a. The primary niche market approach for the company that wants to export is to modify select product performance or measurement characteristics to meet special foreign demands. This can be slow and tedious, but some expansion techniques provide the U.S. firm with the know-how to exploit opportunities in the new environment. Exporting requires the least capital investment, and the organization maintains its quality control standards over production processes and finished goods inventory. The risk to the survival of the firm is typically minimal.
b. Establishing a contractual arrangement is the next step beyond exporting, but does not involve establishing an equity position on foreign soil. Licensing involves the transfer of some industrial property right from the U.S. licensor to a motivated licensee. Most tend to be patents, trademarks, or technical know-how that are granted to the licensee for a specified time in return for royalties or avoidance of tariffs or import quotas. There are two major problems. First, there is a possibility the foreign partner will gain experience and evolve into a major competitor for the domestic firm. Second is the loss of control that the licensor assumes on such matters as production, marketing, and general distribution.
c. Franchising is a special form of licensing that allows the franchisee to sell a highly publicized product or service using the parent's brand name, trademark, or special procedures (for marketing or distribution). The franchisee pays a fee to the parent company based on volume of sales in a defined market area. Franchising is very popular worldwide.
d. Joint ventures agree with a mutually agreeable pooling of capital, production, marketing equipment, patents, trademarks, or management expertise. They offer more permanent cooperative relationships than export or contract manufacturing. JV's, as they are called, provide a variety of benefits to each partner. U.S. firms without the managerial or financial assets to make a profitable independent impact on the markets can share management tasks and cash requirements at various [favorable] exchange rates to favor the dollar. This coordination allows ready access to the new markets, more intelligence data, and the reciprocal flows of technical information.
e. A foreign branch is an extension of the company in its foreign market—a separately located strategic business unit directly responsible for fulfilling the operational duties assigned to it by corporate management, including sales, customer service, and physical distribution. Host countries may require that the branch be "domesticated" with local managers at various levels through that firm.
f. Small and medium-sized enterprises with strong growth potential frequently have the need for additional funds to be able to grow further before deciding to trade their stock publicly in the marketplace. These firms enlist the support of private equity companies that invest shareholder moneys in startups and other risky but potentially very profitable small and medium-sized enterprises. The VC or private equity company provides investment capital, business services, and management expertise.
g. Wholly owned foreign subsidiaries are considered by companies that are willing and able to make the highest investment commitment to the foreign market. These companies insist on full ownership for reasons of control and managerial efficiency. Policy decisions typically remain with the U.S. senior mangers. They can be started either from scratch or through acquisitions in the host country. U.S. firms can benefit significantly if the acquired company has complimentary product lines or an established distribution or service network.

I made up an off the cuff beer today, took hydrometer reading but wort was hot and I want to plug some numbers into I brewmaster to see if my reading was way off. What is the potential of Washington state white wheat, raw, not malted. Is it near wheat malt? I used 14 lbs of great western 2 row, mashed at 150 F, and had 8 lbs of raw wheat, mashed for 60 minutes. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I could be wrong here, but I believe you would need to do a protein rest with unmalted wheat in order to get any yield.
Thanks for the reply, but I believe the protein rest is to thin the mash by breaking down the proteins as the wheat can become gluelike. I used a half pound of rice hulls and had no problem running off the wort. See: http://www.realbeer.com/spencer/Belg...e-brewing.html So, question still stands, and I did do a search regarding potential gravity.....thanks for help in advance....
Absolutely useless reply but I read the title as "raw white meat..." and thought WTF is he brewing
I can't think of a reason that there would be a difference between malted and unmalted wheat gravity potential, it's just based on the amount of starch. Malting is about getting the enzymes available and has nothing to do with making more starches. Beersmith shows 35 points for flaked wheat and that should be about what regular unmalted wheat gives you. Of course doing the cereal mash well enough so that you can convert them is up to you.

The Atlanta sports market is full of dumbass reporters who don't know a THING about the game. All they care about is UGA. But yeah, maybe if Atlanta had spent less money on Vick, they could afford a decent supporting cast.
Troy sounds more like BB everyday, "He's a year older now," Brown said. "He's out there working hard, doing some good things. There's some things he's got to work on, but he's definitely working hard. He's not the same kid as last year."
In my Madden Franchise I got Troy as my Coach in 2011 (signed him as HC away from the Eagles who had him as their OC).
I've been saying this for about four years. Tonight's game will be one in which the Falcons play their first string QB for all but a series or two, and it ain't Vick. Schaub is or at least should be their QB, even if they don't know it. So its Cassel against Schaub. Soph against Senior. I'd have to favor the Senior guy, Schaub over the heady Sophomore.

compared to no RAID at all...? Mirrored RAID seems perfect for me, but i hope it isn't gonna slow down the system to much......? What if you take 2 Raptor 10 K drives and make a mirrored RAID 1, that would seem like a nice set up...? thanks! |

A RAID 1 setup is for redundancy, it's so that should one drive fail you don't lose ANY data.
So that means that you effectively only have 1 single drive to work with (but absolute peace of mind). It will perform roughly the same speed (maybe a bit slower) of a single drive. Before you go out and buy a 10K Raptor drive, note that many of the larger 7200rpm drives are just as fast, offer much larger capacities and are far less noisy (and cheaper per gig). Typically, for ordinary use, drives rarely fail, a simple manual backup (to a second drive) is far more cost efficient for the home application. If you have a lot of money to waste, why not go for RAID0+1 (2 pairs in RAID 0, those pairs in RAID 1)

ok, so if i did a mirrored RAID with 2 raptors, that would give me:
10,000 RPM x 2 = 20,000 RPM or 7200 RPM x 2 = 14,400 RPM speed is an relavant factor in professional tethered photo shooting..... so, i am looking for the quickest write speeds... any advice how to find the quickest write speed HDD's ? thanks! |

Sorry RAID 1 does not work like that.

ok, then how does it work ?

( 7200rpm x 2 ) / 2 = 7200rpm (- some overhead) Since you are mirroring two drives the two drives work in unison, when you write data to the RAID setup, the EXACT data is being written to both drives, meaning you don't get double the speed. The question now is: are you looking for insurance against data loss? or are you looking for plain performance? Or Both?

Sorry, what i meant was doing a Striped RAID 0......
Would that then be correct with those numbers i gave in the OP...? |

You would be logically correct but not technically.
But never mind that, you want to Stripe Two drives together? Okay, so for your photo shoots, how much space would you be using, and what is your estimated maximum consistent writing speed would you need? The largest drives, from 7200rpm 750+gigs have a consistent write speed from at least 50mb/s, so double that would be 100mb/s. Check Toms Hardware site for a chart of speeds. That list also includes the 10K drives, so that should give you some insight to which drives would suit you.

No, you don't get a doubling of performance, it doesn't work like that -- any more than if you have a car that can go 120 MPH, if you put two motors in it, it can go 240 MPH.
In fact for most single user applications, the overhead of the RAID processing will be higher than the potential speed gains. RAID 0 (or other forms of RAID striping) is mainly useful in two situations: 1) Multiuser servers 2) Handling massive, sustained data streams, such as capturing HD video RAID 0 is also horribly risky, an error on one drive will kill the data on both drives. Raptors run hot and noisy. And because they are small drives (both in capacity, and the physical diameter of their platters), they drop in performance rapidly as they fill up, and start moving to the inner tracks of the drive. The outermost tracks of a platter are up to 2 x faster than the innermost tracks, because more data passes under the heads in a single revolution. This is also why the newer 7200 RPM drives nearly match the 10000 RPM Raptors in performance. They have larger platters, and with perpendicular recording, higher areal density. So even though they spin slower, they pass as much or more data under the heads every second. Plus, if you have 75 GB of data on a 150 Gb Raptor, you have already cut the performance by 25% or so 'cause the drive is 1/2 full. But a 750 Gb Barracuda or F1 will still be running on almost the outermost tracks, at near peak performance. A better strategy, then, is to get a couple of Perpendicular drives of 500 - 750 GB. Dedicate one drive to System and Applications, and the other drive to Data. This separates the two functions between 2 sets of heads, which reduces seek times as the software switches back and forth between data, application code, and scratch disk. If you really want to gild the lily, then get a third drive to dedicate to scratch disk / swap file space.
Ex = former, no longer. Spurt = a leak, esp. when caused by water pressure. Expert = a has-been drip under pressure. |

wood gave me inspiration...
I built a box and added a backing...
I added dividers...
And used some old trim pieces
on the front and the top...
The whole piece got a coat of
white chalk paint.
then I added metal bin numbers...
And now I'm looking for the perfect
place to put it.

Chang Xu, Hua Guo, Zhoujun Li and Yi Mu New construction of affiliation-hiding authenticated group key agreement Security and Communication Networks 6
Article first published online: 29 AUG 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/sec.606
In this paper, we show that Jarecki, Kim, and Tsudik's affiliation-hiding authenticated group key agreement protocols in CT-RSA 2007 have some drawbacks. We introduce the notion of affiliation-hiding authenticated asymmetric group key agreement (AH-AAGKA) and present an AH-AAGKA protocol. Compared with previous AH-AGKA protocols, if invalid players participate in our protocol, legitimate participants can identify these invalid players. Besides, our protocol holds perfect forward secrecy, and linkable affiliation-hiding property.

We often come across funny, quirky videos on the internet. From music videos to how-to tutorials, one can find videos on almost any topic on the website. Besides Youtube, there are various other websites like Dailymotion, Vimeo etc. that have useful quality videos. Many a times, we come across really great videos and wish to download them for future viewing. However, the online video streaming sites don't offer an option to download by default. But luckily, there are many third party websites that allow you to download videos from many of the online video streaming sites like Youtube. One among them is Video Ripper, a really handy online tool that lets you download videos off Youtube, Google sites, Vimeo and a handful of other video streaming websites.
