Parents arraigned in Rochester truancy cases
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
ROCHESTER — When Gonic resident Elizabeth O'Malley arrived at Rochester Circuit Court early Monday morning for an arraignment, she said she didn't know what to expect.
For the parents who opted to take the diversion program, they were ordered to have "one year of good behavior," where if their children attend school consistently, the charge will be placed on file. During that time they must be willing attend the diversion program and complete it "successfully," Cappiello said.
Tammy Batista, Maria Murphy, Elizabeth O'Malley and Lisa Dexter, charged with two counts for each of her children, all pleaded no contest and have agreed to take the diversion program at the police station for $20 each, to cover the cost of a specialist.
Nicanne Brown and Sandra Coombs each pleaded not guilty and will have a trial date set for March 28 in Rochester Circuit Court.
Finally, Alice Segura did not attend the arraignment and a bench warrant was issued for her arrest with a $1,000 personal recognizance bail order attached.
Outside the courtroom Murphy, of Upham Street, and Batista, who said she moved to Barrington recently after her children had difficulty in the Rochester school system, said they were sisters. They said they were surprised to see each other at the courthouse and both stressed they had done everything they could for their struggling teens.
"I'm definitely trying …," she said. "I'm absolutely going to try and stand up for myself."

Well again I'm all about "that depends on the workload", and environment and so on. Personally I'm not sure I would use ZFS og BtrFS on a laptop or any other FS that goes to great lengths to preserve my data perfectly, simply because the laptop has so many other reliability issues that external backup is the only solution that is good enough. So rather than paying the price for reliability all the time. I would run "unsafe" + backup on my laptop and get the performance advantage. At work i'd much rather use ZFS on BL460c G7 blades with HDS USP-V or AMS2xxx storage backends. They are not really slow even though there are disks inside.
"If you disagree [that Linux does not scale storagewise], try it yourself. Go mkfs a 500 TB ext-3/4 or other Linux file system, fill it up with multiple streams of data, add/remove files for a few months with, say, 20 GB/sec of bandwidth from a single large SMP server and crash the system and fsck it and tell me how long it takes. Does the I/O performance stay consistent during that few months of adding and removing files? Does the file system perform well with 1 million files in a single directory and 100 million files in the file system? My guess is the exercise would prove my point: Linux file systems have scaling issues that need to be addressed before 100 TB environments become commonplace. Addressing them now without rancor just might make Linux everything its proponents have hoped for."
Let me say you this. Regarding the current unstability of BTRFS and all bugs and so on, I doubt BTRFS does handle this situation. But you are convinced BTRFS does? I also doubt any other Linux filesystem handles this, because the senior consultant explains Linux can not handle this scenario with any filesystem. I doubt he lies. A liar never risk a situation where his lies could be revealed, a liar always says vague things. The consultant does not say vague things. He gives a clear and concrete example which have been done by many technicians. If the consultant lied about this concrete example, one of the technicians would have objected and it would have been spread on Linux sites that the senior consultant is a liar, and he would loose credibility and get bad reputation. A liar never gives concrete examples that are easy to double check. They always say vague things, that can never be double checked.
Sure, you have posted another link that tries to disprove the follow up article, but nothing concrete is said. There are mostly people saying stuff like "XFS is GREAT, it runs on LARGE installations, trust me!". It is only opinions, no hard facts. No scenarios. No examples. It could be FUD and lies. I am not saying that, but theoretically, it could be FUD and lies. Where are the links and benchmarks and white papers I ask of? Or any concrete examples that we can try out ourself? Of course, that senior consultant just assures us that Linux does not handle large filesystems without giving benchmarks, but he must speak true. This senior consultant gives us a concrete example to try out, and the risk is someone tries it out and the consultant has lied - then he will be crucified.
"So that's the ZFS ZIL in a nutshell. It's design was guided by previous years of frustration with UFS logging. We knew it had to be very fast as synchronous semantics are critical to database performance. We certainly learnt from previous mistakes."
How the heck do you expect that single BTRFS guy to know what is important? Is he all knowing? He knows as much as the whole Solaris developer team combined with the Enterprise Storage team? Is he best in the world? Or is he just an ordinary developer with high goals, though "BTRFS is broken by design" as a RedHat developer wrote?
Again. To do data integrity correctly, is VERY difficult. It requires VAST knowledge (see below). It is almost to try to make a software bug free - that requires vast experience of building systems, to know which common pitfalls there are, etc. I would not be surprised if BTRFS is the first or second filesystem he ever developed. That is hilarious: "BTRFS is a ZFS killer" developed by a guy who knows nothing about common pitfalls? I trust more an experienced team that has vast experience, than a single guy that have never set his foot into a large server hall.It seems that BTRFS is more tailored to desktops, than Enterprise halls. Dont you agree?
When you talk about Moore's law
"Moore's law is about transistor density on silicon. It has nothing to do with disk space."
Let us read more on this law, regarding hard drives part:
It turns out that hard drives have the same development, called Kryder's law:
"A similar law [as Moore's law] (sometimes called Kryder's Law) has held for hard disk storage cost per unit of information"
And there is a article in "Scientific American" about Kryder's law:
Which says that "says that magnetic disk areal storage density doubles annually"
Do you know enough math to understand what this means? It means EXPONENTIAL GROWTH, the same as Moore's law. And if you dont know theory about asymptotics, let me tell you. Exponential growth is a very bad thing, it grows extremely fast. It actually, grows exponentially. Therefore you are wrong on this. Your premise is false, and your entire reasoning is FAIL. And you say I dont understand arithmetic and math? Jesus. What are those Linux guys out there? Uneducated all of them? I cant help but wonder. Why am I wasting time pointing out errors in their juvenile reasonings?
Look, if anyone can prove me wrong, then I stop post that very thing. Until then, it is YOU that are wrong because I have evidence I am correct (research papers, articles, white papers, benchmarks, etc) and you have nothing. So I am correct. I dont make up things, nor FUD, etc. I can always link to white papers, research papers, scientif journals, etc. You Linux guys, can not. And you call me a FUDer and Troll? Jesus.If you prove me wrong with articles, I stop. If you prove me wrong, by yelling I am dumb and Troll - I continue. It is as simple as that. As long as I am right, and you are wrong, I continue. Prove me wrong. Use research papers, articles etc.
Let me cite you: "You, Kebabbert, are apparently one of the folks I was referring to who does not understand exponential growth". Great. It takes an igorant person to fail to see how fast hard discs have growed in size.
Jesus, give me strength. Why do I must correct all Linux people's misunderstandings all the time? Why do they think "ZFS and DTrace are slightly more polished than Linux counter parts"?
Look. Raid5 & 6 sucks big time. Your data is not safe with those. Here are some articles. Read them and please stop say things that are not true.
"Detecting and recovering from data corruption requires protection techniques beyond those provided by the disk drive. In fact, basic protection schemes such as RAID [13] may also be unable to detect these problems.
As we discuss later, checksums do not protect against all forms of corruption"
From above, you can not just add some checksums all over the place into BTRFS and expect to get data integrity. Ok? Not even mature techniques as Raid are safe (which many falsely believe). Do you finally understand now why I doubt BTRFS to be safe? Why must I educate all these Linux people all the time? *sigh*
"Recent work has shown that even with sophisticated RAID protection strategies, the right combination of a single fault and certain repair activities (e.g., a parity scrub) can still lead to data loss [19]."
I can add that CERN did a test on their Linux hardware raid, and data was corrupted. (CERN now migrates to ZFS machines)
A whole site with lots of articles dedicated to explain all the flaws in raid-5
Regarding raid-6:
"The paper explains that the best RAID-6 can do is use probabilistic methods to distinguish between single and dual-disk corruption, eg. "there are 95% chances it is single-disk corruption so I am going to fix it assuming that, but there are 5% chances I am going to actually corrupt more data, I just can't tell". I wouldn't want to rely on a RAID controller that takes gambles :-)"
Let me tell you, I have PLENTY of material on Silent corruption. Including many research papers. Just tell me if you want more information on silent corruption. Actually, it is very interesting read, to see how bad the situation is with current storage situation. (Please, someone ask me, to post all this material! )
ZFS is for Enterprise, that is, not a single disc, but zfs raid. If you have 48 ordinary SATA discs in your PC chassi without any raid controller card, you reach 2-3GB/sec read speed. That is plenty. If you also add SSD discs, your latency drops extremely much, in some cases, to a few millionths of a second. Your IOPS go far over 100.000. If you have 7 discs in a ZFS raid (without controller card) you can reach 430MB/sec in an ordinary PC. Do you call this "slow"? I would not. Do you want some links that proves everything I claim, or do you trust me on this? Of course I can link to every number I gave. It would be dumb of me to make up numbers and not be able to give links - no liar gives hard concrete numbers which are easy to prove or disprove.
Still, the MAIN POINT with ZFS is data integrity. Which no other common filesystem offers. Of course ZFS offers more perfomance than BTRFS, why would it not? We are talking about ZFS! The besto.
Is your data important to you? CERN says ZFS is the only filesystem that offers data integrity, even when considering very expensive enterprise storage systems. They are migrating away from Linux to ZFS. Is it because CERN is fooled by the ZFS hype and Sun marketing people, or is it because ZFS is actually best? For real?
I have read in a blog comment somewhere (not a good source, so we should not trust this information too much) that BTRFS is also a "layering violation". Does anyone know more on this?
And besides, I dont understand the fuss about layering violation. If ZFS is best on the market, it is. I do not care if it is written in pascal, has layering violation, is painted blue or whatever as long as it is best and protects your data. Would you prefer to use an inferior filesystem that does not protect your data, but has four layers instead of three layers?
Bonwick, the archictect behind ZFS explains that ZFS only has fewer layers (ZFS scrapped unnecessary layers that legacy filesystems have) but ZFS is still layered.
Show me a BTRFS machine that beats this ZFS machine (look at the right column)
Face palm.
Regarding the rest of your post, if Linux is faster than FreeBSD on desktop things, so what? FreeBSD is a Unix. As Solaris. They win by a large margin in the Enterprise halls. They are stable. Safe. Not unstable as Linux. Do you want to see links where Linux companies increase their work load much, and must switch to for instance, Solaris? Of course I have such links. I may be true that Linux is faster on desktop things - but is Linux good on Enterpirse with lots of CPUs? No? Linux looses on SAP benchmarks with many cores? Ah. Linux is not stable says many admins? Ah. Linux does not protect your data? Ah. BUT LINUX IS FASTER ON FPS! Wow.
Why are Linux people so ignorant and dont know how things REALLY are? It IS very tricky do data integrity, after many years, even raid does not succeed! Not even the old mature filesystems as "superior" XFS does not offer data integrity? And Linux people thinks that one guy will make BTRFS safe? Hilarious.
Whereas UFS which more similar to ext3, is many times bigger. Read the link. The point is, ZFS has ditched layers, so the code is minimal, compared to old bloated antique filesystems with unnecessary layers.
And you also claim the code was bad. Can you tell me more on this? Which code? Was it important code, or was it an unimportant shell script?
Yes I read the OpenSolaris forums, and I see that people have trouble with ZFS. I have never denied that. I had said earlier here, several times, that ZFS has bugs. But I also think ZFS is still the best out there. And it is rapidly maturing, thanks to the great Solaris developers.Do you read the forums? Do you SEE the problems that people are having with ZFS?
The opensolaris forum is one single forum. Every ZFS user goes there to post about ZFS, or complain. Meanwhile, the ext3 and other Linux filesystems are spread out on several different forums. I have read stories about Linux people loosing data too.
I dont doubt the Sun sales personal sucked. But I talk about the Sun engineers, that provenly does great and innovative tech that no one has thought of earlier. Tech that many OSes want. Solaris has not only ZFS and DTrace that is great, there are other great tech there, too.Ok.. so we have different opinions about Sun's expertise (expertise that bankrupt the company btw). That's ok... but I just want to make sure that people understand, there is ANOTHER side to the story apart from the slick marketing and persuasive arguments that Sun and its engineers tell.
Meanwhile, I dont see anything that makes devs drool about anything that Linux has. Sure, Linux gives better FPS in gaming, or graphics. But no one has denied Linux is a better desktop OS. But Enterprise use in another thing.
I wouldn't draw the conclusion that BtrFS is slower than ZFS, just because ZFS is so scalable. The similarities between BtrFS and ZFS are significant and one could say that BtrFS is an extension of ZFS. It might turn out faster and more scalable in the end, but currently it is too nice to call it beta stage IMHO. The basic problem with BtrFS is the data structure that has proven difficult to implement efficiently and might prove impossible to implement efficiently with all desirable features.
Broken Btrfs:
It is only a matter of ZFS configuration. Just add some more discs or SSD and you get more performance. ZFS handles the extra hardware automatically for you.
So, I just want to say this: "Muhahahaha" in your face. I TOLD you that ZFS is the best out there. ZFS does everything that other filesystems do, but better. But on top of that, ZFS gives DATA INTEGRITY. That is the ONLY reason to run ZFS. Sure, ZFS is extremely fast in Enterprise settings but that is not the reason to use ZFS. It is data safety.
BTW, Phoronix doesnt do Enterprise benchmarks. If Phoronix did, Linux would loose on every benchmark. Solaris is since long, targeted to Enterprise. Not Desktop. Phoronix only do Desktop benchmarks: single computer, 8 cores benchmarks, single disc, etc. That is chicken shit. When we talk about large Enterprise stuff, then Linux just doesnt cut it. Linux is a great DesktopOS. I admit it. Linux is better DesktopOS than OpenSolaris or Solaris.
But, desktop and Enterprise are different things. People here, just don't understand it. They see BTRFS is faster on single disc (a desktop benchmark), and draw the conclusion "BTRFS is ZFS killer". Jesus. How can you compare Desktop vs Enterprise, that easy???
If we ventured into the realms of LARGE servers giving huge performance, people would understand the true strength of Solaris, ZFS, DTrace and all other Solaris tech. They just dont have any experience of it, so they believe it is just to add some cpus, discs, etc to Linux and then you have Enterprise. No, up comes lots of different, new scalability problems that are very hard to solve. IBM AIX which is very mature and high end, didnt scale well cpu wise, until recently. It IS difficult to scale well. Enterprise IS difficult.
So, where was OpenSolaris in all this? Seeing as it's the native environment to run ZFS in?

Miley Cyrus: My career is a 'strategic hot mess'
POSTED: Thursday, October 3, 2013 - 6:57pm
UPDATED: Saturday, October 5, 2013 - 9:27am
(CNN) — (CNN) -- People have come to expect a bit of a shock from Miley Cyrus.
And she didn't disappoint Wednesday night in an MTV behind-the-scenes special called "Miley: The Movement."
Filming started four months ago, and followed the 20-year-old as she prepared for that now-infamous twerktacular performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards August 25.
During the hour-long special, Miley didn't just give fans a glimpse into her life -- she left us with some noteworthy quotes. Here's a breakdown of our favorites:
"It's not a transition. It's a movement, it's a growth, it's a change."
While there is no doubt that there is a "Miley movement" underway, the singer emphasized she is still the same person. "To me, when I'm saying 'a movement' that's the only way I know how to describe what I'm doing because it's not a transition. People always want to call it a transition. It's not a transition. I'm the same human. I've got the same heart I did five years ago, everything about me is the same: same skin, same human. So it's not a transition, it's a movement, it's a growth, it's a change."
"People could think it was just like a hot mess, but it's a strategic hot mess."
A lot has been made of Miley's VMA performance -- Cher, for one, was not a fan -- but for all the haters, Miley has no regrets. "It was really important for me to bring that fun and that, like, energy onto stage. You can watch that performance from the VMAs and people could think it was just like a hot mess, but it's a strategic hot mess. Right now, I'm at a point in my career where I can just be exactly who I want to be."
"People get a connection, they feel like they really know you, but that's when people get really entitled."
Yes, we got to know and love Miley as the sweet little girl on Disney's "Hannah Montana," but she wants the world to take note that she's not 12 anymore. "I think there is something about watching people grow up. People get a connection, they feel like they really know you, but that's when people get really entitled. Most people don't have their kid photos put up and then be like, 'she's changed.' If you put a picture of Lady Gaga at eight and then you put Lady Gaga (now), yeah she's changed."
"I am just smiling, having fun, loving life."
As Miley spends a second week at the top of the Billboard 100 with her hit "Wrecking Ball," there's no reason for her not to be "loving life." But with all her fame, she still feels the need to pinch herself. "I can't complain 'cause when I look around, I can't believe it is real."

A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. This can result in an engine overheating condition. A leaking water pump will require replacement.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 1990 Chevrolet Beretta problems
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
Fuel injectors can short-circuit
One or more of the fuel injectors may short out electrically causing a rough idle condition.
Steering rack can fail or leak
The steering rack may develop a fluid leak or fail causing the steering to become hard to turn.
The Engine May Stall After Extended Freeway Driving
The torque converter clutch can stick "on" after extended freeway driving causing the engine to stall when coming to a stop. Our technicians tell us when this occurs, the engine usually will restart and stall when put into gear. After allowing about twenty minutes for the engine and transmission to cool down, the engine will start and the transmission will operate normally. Replacing the torque converter clutch solenoid, transmission filter, and fluid will generally correct this issue.
Car Won't Start Due to Ignition Module/Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure
The ignition module or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to die and not restart. Diagnoses will be necessary to determine if the module or crank sensor is causing the no start condition.
Engine Vacuum Leak Due to Cracked PCV Vacuum Hose
The PCV vacuum hose under the upper intake plenum may become brittle and crack causing an engine vacuum leak.
High Pressure Power Steering Hose Can Leak Fluid
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
Front Brake Rotor Wear Can Cause Pulsations
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians often recommend replacement of the front rotors and brake pads as the best option to correct this condition.
Stalling or Low Engine Idle Speed Due to Dirty Throttle Body
A dirty throttle body may cause a lower than normal engine idle resulting in a stalling condition. A stalling condition may also result if an idle learn procedure is not performed if the battery goes dead or is disconnected.
Transmission Fluid Leak From Cooler Line
An automatic transmission fluid leak may develop from the rubber section of a transmission cooler line. In some cases the rubber section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this type of leak.
Timing Chain Tensioner/Guides May Wear and Cause Noise
The timing chain tensioner and guides are prone to wear and may develop an abnormal noise, requiring replacement.
Engine Overheating Due to Head Gasket Failure
The 2.3L 4 cylinder engine can be prone to head gasket failure. This can result in coolant loss and engine overheating.
Rough Running Engine Due to Vacuum Leak
The engine vacuum hose to the MAP sensor may crack resulting in a vacuum leak causing the engine to run rough and/or stall.
Engine misfire due to ignition coil housing failure
The ignition coil housing may fail causing an engine misfire on one or more cylinders.
Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail causing stalling, and engine and transmission drivability concerns.

Latest update : 2011-07-12
A citizen group is proposing a series of steps towards reform in Algeria
A citizen group is proposing a series of steps towards reform in Algeria. American web users are campaigning for a suspended cheerleader. 200 million messages are now posted on Twitter every day.
Citizens calling for change in Algeria
Nabni, a group of citizens who want to use their expertise to help the development of Algeria published « 100 steps towards a new Algeria » on Tuesday, Algeria's Independence Day. In this document, the group of economists, entrepreneurs, lawyers and engineers suggests concrete steps towards reform, on political, economic and social levels.
This citizen led initiative was launched in April and is mainly run via a website where web users can make their own suggestions. The aim of this "participative think tank" is to provide Algerians with a forum on which they can discuss the future of their country.
The group holds meetings on a regular basis, they are filmed and the videos are aired on the Internet. Last month, Nabni assembled key figures from civil society to debate the group's proposed steps for areas such as education and health.
And although some web users think they are being unrealistic, the founders of this project hope the government will put their plans into action by next year, when Algeria will be celebrating 50 years of independence.
The members of Nabni do feel this is a symbolic date in the country's history. And for the occasion they will be publishing a new report, which will look back over the past fifty years or so and put forward their vision for Algeria for the year 2020.
Online campaign for suspended cheerleader
This case has mobilized a great number of American web users. At a basketball match in Texas two years ago, a cheerleader refused to root for the player she says raped her in October 2008. The young man had been sentenced to one year suspended sentence after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault.
The cheerleader was fired from the squad for her act of protest. Her parents sued the school district, claiming she was just exercising her right to freedom of speech, but they lost the case and now have to reimburse the school district 45 000 dollars in legal fees.
Jessica Mills from California think there has been an injustice and has set up an online solidarity movement with helpthecheerleader.com. Web users can make donations via this site to help the family of the former cheerleader, who is now 19 years old, pay the costs.
Many web users have joined the campaign via social media sites and over 27 000 dollars has been donated. Comic strip artist Jason Ho raised 3 000 dollars by selling drawings on his blog.
And the web site Change.org has set up an online petition, demanding the school apologizes to the young woman and refuses to take any money from her family. The document has been signed by over 95 000 people so far.
Online game about French Socialist primaries
This game is available on the web site of French daily Le Monde, and allows you to step into the shoes of Martine Aubry, François Hollande or Ségolène Royale for the French socialist primaries, before next year's presidential election. Build a campaign team, define your political project and develop your electoral strategies … the aim of the game is to win these primaries scheduled for October and more importantly gain a better understanding of how the political machine works.
Twitter reaches 200 million tweets a day
At the beginning of the year Twitter hit the 200 million member threshold, and is now reporting 200 million Tweets per day, which they say translates as 8163 copies of Tolstoy's War and Peace, enough to create a stack almost the size of the Taipei 101, the second tallest building in the world.
Video of the day
Dutch artists Lernert Engelberts and Sander Plug have taken the expression 'caked in make up' to a whole new level in this video, where they apply a year's worth of make up to a woman, with pretty astonishing results. It took nine hours to apply all the layers, and the session has been summed up in this 3 minute video.

In other news - Mark's book has been whetting my appetite for 8 months. Started it last night around 11:30 and read about 15% of it. Looking forward to having some thoughts this weekend.
August 4th, 2011, 10:05 AM #62
Na', all is cool Mark, just 3rdI stirring problems where there are none.
Anyways, I hope my book arrives soon, quite eager to try it myself. Hopefully FedEx will hurry up... but it looks like it'll take a while before it gets here

As a staff member of SFFWorld, I don't want you to feel like members are stopping you from posting in topics about your own work. Your book has done incredibly well, and you should be proud of that, and you should also be able to feel as if you can interact with your fans and get feedback. After all, you are an author, and I assume that part of the reason you're here and on other sites is to gauge feedback to your book. On the other side of that, one reason members are here - and why this topic is here - is to discuss your book. It's not here to heap praise upon praise on your book, it's to allow people to discuss it. Most of that discussion has been very positive, but it also allows for the less positive - such as my review.
For those who don't know, Mark did encourage me slightly to post my review. I mentioned on Twitter that I wasn't looking forward to doing so, and I'm sure Mark was aware that it wasn't going to be a glowing review.
August 4th, 2011, 10:16 AM #65
I have known Mark online for some time, and I know that he can take criticism, and take it well, and very often do good things with it.
Most authors who have reached the point of publication have been through a lot of criticism, and much worse criticism than I see here. This is a thread for discussing the book, good and bad, and in my opinion it's entirely fair to say negative things about it. But then I'm not a moderator so I'll stop acting like one
I like the book very much. In my house we already have five copies--one on a kindle, one on a Nook, two hardcovers for reading, and one signed hardcover which nobody is allowed to touch. I gave it five stars on goodreads and on amazon.
edit: ah, I see we are all agreed. Never mind!

And well done Mark for doing so.
Not my intention to take things astray but I think I'd better explain 'the SFFWorld line', as it is, just in case people are not sure. There seems to be a little confusion here.
It's quite simple really. We are all fans as well as staff members. We all have our own opinions, which can often be VERY different. Staff are first and foremost members as well as staff, and are perfectly entitled to make their opinions known in the Forums, same as any other member.
What we don't do is that we don't write official reviews 'for promotion', though they are sometimes used for that and we like our egos stroked by doing so.
However Rule #1 is honesty. If we don't like something, we will say so, in the same way as if we do. You can usually be sure that we will justify our reasons. We are very aware that different people may give different reviews, and on occasion we will run two reviews of the same book or even two reviews from different people together.
Personally, I think it would be wrong if people changed their opinions just because they felt they should. Following the 'honesty rule', the negatives can sometimes be just as informative as the positives, even when you may disagree with what's said. However we do ask for civility and manners even if the review is negative.
This, of course, applies to any author/book/thread, not just Mark's, though as it has appeared here, I thought I'd take the opportunity to explain to those not in the know. Hope that's been useful.
Thanks all!

That's great, Mazarkis: some people would just buy one and share it around.
(I'm hearing of this now being done a lot on readers in households.)
But perhaps not that signed hardcover...
So kudos for you: spreading the word!

I just wanted to add my voice to the discussion.
I started reading this last night. I'm up to chapter 11 now. So far, it seems very well written and attention-grabbing. I'm not sure I'd say that I'm "enjoying" it, but IMHO the level of craft is high. It'll be very interesting to see whether Jorg stays this insane throughout the entire book....
Also -- I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I LOVE that cover!
edited to add -- Oh, btw -- I'm actually READING this one. Y'all should be impressed. I hardly ever actually read these days -- I almost always listen on audio. Unfortunately, this isn't available in audio format. I wouldn't have bothered to buy the text version of this one, except for the threads about it here and on the Westeros board....

Here's my policy... If an author has the stones to be here taking the good and the bad with some class and a sense of humor... I buy some of their books to give them a try.
I just added this series to my list of things to do. This does not mean I'll like it, but it deserves a chance because I might love it. I'm in.

I do love some of the phrases in this book --

Predsidential candidate Dana Rosemary Scallon has been the latest target in the dirtiest presidential campaign in the history of the Republic.
Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness' former leadership of the IRA constantly being cast against him by opponents, now, a bitter rift in Scallon's family has been exposed over her U.S. citizenship which was previously unknown to the Irish electorate.
The row exploded towards the end of last week when court evidence from Iowa of her sister Susan Stein became public knowledge in Ireland.
Stein claimed in her evidence that Scallon was already a U.S. citizen before she first contested the 1997 presidency which was won by Mary McAleese.
Stein made her comments during a bitter court dispute over the ownership of some of Scallon's religious recordings, although she acknowledged last weekend that her sister could have been in the process of applying for citizenship in 1997.
There was consternation last week in the Scallon camp when the dispute was revealed. She said she didn't become a U.S. citizen until October 8, 1999.
She also said she thought it was a new low to bring a family disagreement before the public.
"This was a personal family matter and it's being used by the media in order to paint me as a person who lies. I do not lie. I always told the truth," she said.
"I believe that my integrity would stay intact. There's not one family who hasn't had difficulties, and we worked our way through it."
My choice for president of Ireland is ...
President elect Michael D Higgins smoked weed at Indiana University
Debating with the stars - candidates for president put to the test
She said she applied for U.S. citizenship because her husband was working in the U.S. and she did so in order for the family to remain there legally.
Scallon, known by her stage name Dana, came third behind the Fianna Fail and Fine Gael candidates in 1997, but she has dropped to the bottom of the seven candidates in opinion polls this campaign.
Businessman Sean Gallagher rocketed up the opinion poll ladder as an independent in the last 10 days to reach second place behind Labor's Michael D. Higgins.
This week Martin McGuinness was confronted in Athlone by David Kelly, son of a soldier killed along with Garda (police officer) Gary Sheehan when businessman Don Tidey was rescued from IRA captivity in woods in Co. Leitrim in December 1983.
Kelly said he wanted justice for his father, Private Patrick Kelly, and he demanded that McGuinness should name the killers.
McGuinness denied any knowledge of the individuals involved, or of being on the IRA Army council at the time.
The two other candidates among the seven in the field are Fine Gael's Gay Mitchell and Special Olympics boss Mary Davis who is running as an independent.

Vistula's 2006 Birthday Presents
2. Suspicion
Frodo looked. Strider sat cross-legged not far away, sharpening a lethal-looking blade, the firelight flickering on his grim face.
"He's got more metal on him than the blacksmith," insisted Sam. "Knives and a whole sword and that broken one, too. Does an honest fellow need all that?"
"In the Shire, no," said Frodo. "But here? I think he really is a friend of Gandalf's."
"Poppycock!" said Sam. "I'll believe that when I hear it from the old man himself. But don't worry, Mr. Frodo. I won't let that Strider get at you."

Our institution is in the midst of one of the largest construction projects in our history. It will involve years of construction and hundreds of workers. When you walk by the site, it's obvious that there's a tremendous emphasis on safety. Throughout the complex signs are posted that say safety is everyone's responsibility.
Each worker is required to wear a construction-grade helmet, protective eyewear when appropriate, steel-toe shoes and a safety harness when working above ground level. Some of the work involves creating pedestrian tunnels, and those workers receive additional instruction in the high-risk aspects of the job.
This experience made me reflect that each of us works in high-risk situations. You may not use heavy equipment or be at risk of falling, but is your work environment one of stress, deadlines and demands that often exceed your resources?
The risks are different but no less real. If you sit back and do nothing, you run the risk of a major injury, which might be a stroke, a heart attack, diabetes, or a host of emotional issues such as anxiety and insomnia. So what can you do to protect yourself?
Taking care of your physical and mental health is your best defense. You can shift the odds in your favor with a few simple rules, such as getting a good night's sleep, exercising and reaching out to others when you need help. No person is an island, and we depend on each other for strength and comfort.
What have I missed from this construction scene?

Maybe 30-40% drive 80-85 while tailgating, weaving in and out, blabbing on their cell phones, etc. Big trucks don't brake on down hill grades and are on top of you in seconds. Plus, in my area, bad weather is common in winter -- doubling the commute to two -three nerve wracking hours. Stress. Oh yes. Funny that with 30,000 to 40,000 deaths a year and over two million "accidents," no one treats this as a wellness or health issue!
Oh, workplace stress! Deadlines! Demands! You're right -- even when it's not at the level of hard hats and goggles, we should be tuned into the impact of stress on our bodies. In addition to the good defenses of sleep, exercise and asking for help, I would emphasize good nutrition. The right nutrients can be our best allies!
We need to take precautions as well to save us from getting stressed in workplace. I've implementing these strategies and it has great impact. Now I know what kinds of situation can make me stressed and I tired to avoid the situation. If I can't avoid I try to solve it rather than leave it untreated.
I liked the article as I do many of those in this newsletter.
I am at present off work due to episodes of anxiety and depression due to the nature of my work in a hospital school and having a huge range of students most with some very chronic mental health issues. I have unfortunately taken on board too much emotion and ownership of things I have no control of. My problems have been increased due to the work environment and other people most significantly a "bully boss" who had no idea of the in- class pressures due to the complexity of the mix of students.
I am currently visiting a psychologist on a weekly basis and have had assistance from a psychiatrist. Both have begun to reframe not only my working environment and expectations but have begun to give me back "my life".
GET HELP when you know things are getting out of hand and take control of your circumastance as there had to be a better way so all involved are protected from burnout.
The bottom line is that putting yourself under too much pressure helps no one even those you are trying to help.
Gwenah, It is not too late to make friends at work. People may be surprised at first, but they will be happy to chat. It really does make the work day better. Start out slow and try it ~ best wishes!
One of the other ways I keep life in perspective is to always take a lunch break. Most of my co-workers work through lunch, but I need that bit of free time for myself.
People find me to be relaxed, but that is only because I try hard to take care of my own happiness. Still there is always room for improvement.
Thanks for the great topic ~ Cheers!
.. i missed everything.. from being busy and all focused on works given to me, i think i have missed everything that pertains to "having a life"..having a life in the sense that, i no longer have time to have some simple/quick chats with my friends here at my workplace.. oh how i wish i know how to start reaching out for them again.. i dont know how plus im thinking negative that they may reject me now that i have turned into a snobbish type of person when im at work..

I'm beggining to feel happier about my decision of buying AMD stuff. Catalyst may suck but at least they support the open-source world.
I'm glad that I'm on the AMD side already and I had installed the amd fglrx driver and configured my settings with aticonfig and i'd given a custom specific settings for my xorg.conf and fglrx opengl shows be enabled over the direct render and i'm very impressed with that and the games were running very smoothly with opengl rendering mode
I'm beggining to feel happier about my decision of buying AMD stuff. Catalyst may suck but at least they support the open-source world.
Finally nVidia made their view on open source clear; We don't give a damn about open source.
I think Nvidia are roughly comparable to China.
They benefit us enormously in so many ways, yet are famous for rigourous protecting and safeguarding their secrets.
Alright, they're protecting their IP. But from what? From who? ATI? Intel? What use would Nvidia's code be to them? A component in their GLX implementation, perhaps? Whatever it is, i'd have far more respect for them if they told us what it is they're defending.
OSS has proven itself formidable, even preferable. I can't wait for the Nouveau project to get better. But for now, it's simply a waste of good dollars to use their driver.
You know, VMWare's solutions are vastly superior to the open-source Virtualbox. I wouldn't touch their Workstation with a bargepole, though.
Advocating proprietary solutions on Linux rather misses the point of Linux, don't you think? A modular Unix-like OS made entirely of free software? If you want to condone advocacy of proprietary solutions, then look elsewhere. Apple are always happy to serve you.
This is all very cynical, but major corporations often have to be cynical in order to stay competitive.
Personally, I prefer a driver that I can fix myself if need be over one that has more features, but leaves me SOL if it breaks. YMMV.

Number of horses at SPCA grows with number of abuse cases
Sunday, March 24, 2013
STRATHAM — It's hard to ignore the three horses trotting around the fenced-in field in front of the SPCA, but it's harder to ignore the reasons they're there.
Two horses, Trixie and Missy, arrived in September 2012 and were nearly 500 pounds underweight.
Bryant explained that the problem with cruelty cases is they tend to take a long time to sort out within the court system, and if the animals are there in protective custody and haven't been surrendered to the shelter by the owner, they can't be put up for adoption.
Currently, seven of the 15 horses in the care of the SPCA are there in protective custody.
Ryan said there is currently more than $83,000 in court restitution from owners who have been ordered to pay for the care of their horses, but often don't or simply can't afford to make payments.
"We definitely need, with five times as many horses as we used to have, as many people as possible to help support the care of these animals," Ryan said.
The SPCA has a special fund for donations called the SOS Fund, which was set up specifically for animals brought in by cruelty cases, and those funds raised go toward helping the horses.

Our goals are making activities for students who are taking Chinese classes and promote Chinese culture on UCD campus. For Chinese calligraphy, we had 12 meetings in six weeks and had taught totally 94 person-times. Most of them were from Chinese language classes. By the end of this quarter, we have finished our teaching tasks from using tools like Chinese brushes to writing basic Chinese characters. In addition, we created a public page on Facebook called UC Davis Calligraphy Club, and currently we have 30 members. (Next page is the syllabus) This activity is sponsored by East Asian Language and Culture Studies and helped by the Confucius Institute as well. We would like to thanks for all your support and help. Next quarter, we will change our schedules and continue our meetings. Hopefully we could have more meetings in a week and organize more activities, such as calligraphy shows in the future.

Finally we can switch between CPU and GPU.
Phoronix: NVIDIA (Optimus) PRIME Update Lands In Ubuntu 14.04
The nvidia-prime 0.5 package landed today for Ubuntu 14.04 in the long-standing effort to improve NVIDIA Optimus laptop support under Linux for systems with both Intel and NVIDIA graphics processors...
Finally we can switch between CPU and GPU.
I assume this only works with the open source drivers. Am I right?
We only support laptops with NVIDIA
optimus hardware and nvidia driver >= 319Meh. I'll stay with Bumblebee...Added prime-select switcher to switch between the
integrated and the discrete GPU. This allows users
to disable the discrete GPU to save power. Users'
settings are now saved and applied on log out and
on boot.
Unfortunately the "muxless systems" comment makes me think the Macbook I'm using will still have mostly broken support.
Being able to change the gpu tu use at next reboot? Seems like what Catalyst offers now to me.
And nvidia-prime code is "Copyright 2013 Canonical Ltd.", like the Catalyst code to switch gpu.
