Ann R.United StatesCan't Replace The BulbsI had a wonderful three-way lighted makeup mirror for over 30 years. Don't remember the brand, but the bulbs never burned out. I replaced it because the stand broke & I was tired of propping it up. I really liked the Jerdon because it was so similar. But the bulbs burned out after just a couple of years. This was about three months ago. I called the company & they said the bulbs were out of stock & would be back in stock in June. Ten dollars was worth waiting a few months vs what a new mirror would cost. Today, July 2, I called to find out the status of the bulbs, only to find that the company no longer carries them! You have to mail your mirror to them and they replace the bulbs for $12. BS! I will be looking for a replacement - and it won't be Jerdon!posted Jul 2, 2014Link to this post
David K.Rochester, NYNever Again!My wife replaced her 20 year old Clairol "true to light" make up mirror with a Jerdon when the Clairol's hinges wore out. The Jerdon looked a lot like the Clairol, and was great for about 6 months. Then the bulbs flickered and quit. We were dismayed to discover that, unlike the Clairol product, the bulbs can't be replaced! This feels like a scam to force us to buy a new unit, but this company has lost us as customers - forever! We'll check the garage sales for another Clairol.

E.f.ChicagoJardon No GoodThe bulbs on mine appear to be fine,when I hold the switch they flicker and then light for an instant. I think the problem may be in the switch or ballast. Since I can't take it apart, I'll just toss it in the trash and see if I can find something else. For sure it will not be another Jerdon product.posted Dec 12, 2012Link to this post
RachaelColoradoUm, Yeah, No.Bought the Jerdon Classic JGL9W Lighted Tri-fold Mirror for my daughter for Christmas 2010. It worked well for about a year, and has been spotty since early spring 2012. Now the lights only come on sporadically, and only if you spin the mirror, jump up and down, clap your hands and pray. Then, if we're lucky, the lights MIGHT grace us with their so-called presence. It's so pathetic that Amazon knows that half of these mirrors are defective (I mean, have they actually READ the reviews???) and yet they still sell them. If they wanted to make some money, the could make the lights replaceable and sell the bulbs.
Of course, my Amazon warranty was only good for 30 days, and the Jerdon warranty for 1 year, so I'm SOL. Fun stuff.posted Oct 9, 2012Link to this post -
WynneNCNo Good!!!Wow, I read all the reviews about the short lived lights in this mirror. I bought one to replace the make up mirror I had from high school. I can't remember the brand but I think it was Clairol. I graduated high school in 1969 so it definitely had a long life. The lights in my Jerdon mirror flickered and completely went out in less than 6 months. I bought mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They were out of stock when I went back for a replacement but the manager was kind enough to tell me he would switch out when new ones came in. Guess now after reading all the reviews I will just take it back for a refund. Would not recommend to anyone unless you want to keep replacing.posted Sep 9, 2012Link to this post
JanetPALasted 3 MonthsI want my Clairol lighted mirror from the 70's & 80's! It was exactly like this but the bulbs were replaceable. This mirror has great lighting. BUT when it starts to go, it flickers, gets VERY hot and just dies! I would never leave it plugged in. The last Jerdon I had lasted about a year but when it died, it shorted out, smoked and the cord melted! I bought this last one out of desperation. I am DONE! No more Jerdon for me!posted Aug 29, 2012Link to this post
SallyDidn't Last!!!I was given this mirror as a gift. Guess I was luckier with it than most, my lights lasted 9 months before going out. Also, I found the folding wing mirrors to be a nuisance, they were always in the way so that I had to lean around them to find what I needed to apply next.
Previously owned Clairol lighted mirror. It lasted me for 30 years or so.
Will never buy Jerdon anything again!!!!!!!!!!posted Jul 14, 2012Link to this post -
K T.4 Months Is The Live Of The Bulbs!After owning a Con-air lighted mirror that lasted 15 years, I purchased my first Jerdon mirror Sept of 2011. I chose this mirror because the light was brighter than that of the Con-air. I was very pleased until Dec 2011,(about 4 months later) when the bulbs started flickering, and finally went out a week later. I wrote the company, but never got a response. Since I had been so happy with the mirror before it quit, I foolishly bought another one in Jan of this year (2012), thinking that it was just a fluke. Last week ( after about 4 months of use), the blubs started flicking, and as if on cue, the bulbs went out two days ago. They suck you in with this great light, but you'll have to pay 34.99 three-four times a year to keep it coming. I am in the market again, and I will not make the mistake of purchasing another Jerdon product.posted Apr 2, 2012Link to this post
CherylPiece Of Junk!I unfortunately bought this mirror and found out that the reviews concerning the bulbs were dead on. I haven't owned this mirror long and both bulbs blew out. After reading the reviews about trying to change them or even gain access to them, I'm just gonna get rid of it. I too owned a Clairol make-up mirror that lasted over 20 years with absolutely no problems whatsoever. The only reason I replaced it was the side mirror hinges falling off. It's unfortunate that manufacturers sell this junk and consumers end up putting out more money to replace them, Does anyone make quality products anymore? Very discouraging, but if enough people complain maybe the manufacturers will do something about it.posted Mar 9, 2012Link to this post
MargretMarylandBulb ReplacementI was given the Jerdon vanity mirror as a gift in
October 2010. In January 2012 both bulbs
failed and according to the instruction book it
must be returned to the manufacture for the \
bulbs to be replaced. I sent an email to
Jerdon but no reply was received. Needless
to day, I am very disappointed. I now have
a mirror less than a year old that I cannot
use and have been unsuccessful in getting
needed repair.

It is no secret that my fishing buddy, Sean and I frequently fly fish the various forks of the upper San Gabriel River drainage as well as the lower sections and even the mouth of the river all the way down in Seal Beach. Exactly where we have the best success and land the most fish…well, that is and will remain a secret.
However it is also no secret that the San Gabriel offers a huge variety of fishing opportunities for the urban angler looking for something slightly different and maybe even the opportunity to put into practice those line-mending techniques typically reserved for streams and rivers greater than an hour from home.
The upper San Gabriel is divided into three major forks (North Fork, West Fork and East Fork) and drains an area of the Angeles National Forest about 400 square miles in size. Each fork varies in character from steep gradient, fast-moving, cold water to slower, slightly silted water. All three major forks and several smaller feeds hold fish. While some of the upper sections hold native trout that seldom see flies.
The lower section holds bass, sunfish, catfish, tilapia and carp while sand bass, kelp bass, flatfish and several other salt-water species can be taken on the fly down at the mouth of the river.
So the other day, after a very pleasant afternoon on the San Gabriel, I settled down in my favorite chair and began an internet search to see what 411 I could drum up on this very special river.
Now, you can probably imagine what an urban river that is only about an hour away from millions of people is subjected to on a day-to-day basis and you can also probably imagine what craziness people might post about their…um… activities on this river.
Although I'll never be able to un-see some of the
nonsense I came across, I eventually found some research papers on the Fish & Game website describing the results from an electro-fishing survey performed in 2007 and 2008 on the upper stretches of the river above the Cogswell Dam.
As might be expected, rainbow trout were found throughout the drainage system. However, the next three most commonly seen species
were: the speckled dace, the santa ana sucker and the arroyo chub.
None of these native fish are considered game fish, though there are records and even historical photos (circa 1940) of suckers being taken on rod and reel. Chub can grow about five inches in length and slightly resemble minnows or very young goldfish. Chub can grow about six inches and also vaguely resemble minnows. Suckers can also grow slightly larger though under today's conditions they usually don't. They look some thing like a skinny carp.
As native species, the arroyo chub, speckled dace, and santa ana sucker have all figured prominently in various hotly–contested, lengthy and expensive legal and scientific battles. However, my interest in these fish (for the purposes of this article) rest more in their abundance as prey items and thus as potential clues as to how local urban anglers can use that info to catch more trout.
My internet searching has found documents mentioning heavy predation by bass and sunfish on these native fish but little on trout predation. However, since trout are known to be efficient piscivores, especially as they grow to adult size, I am surmising that suckers, dace and chub are, in fact, part of the diet of rainbow trout in the San Gabriel River.
Armed with this hypothesis, I've decided to test it by carefully selecting some fly patterns resembling these fish for my next foray into the Angeles Forest.
I'll keep you posted on how these patterns work…but I won't be giving away any info on our secret spots.
I love this addiction called urban fly fishing.

1973-1987 Chevy C10 & GMC Truck Dakota Digital Gauge Cluster Install - Gone Digital
Written by on October 1, 2009 '73-87 C10 & GMCThere's any number of reasons to switch the gauge cluster on a '73-87 Chevrolet C10 or GMC truck. In the case of the '79 C10 Chevrolet Big 10 CCT readers know as the Americruise truck it was for several reasons. The first reason goes back to a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado I owned in the '90s that had the digital dash cluster option. Reflecting on what I really liked about the Eldo's digital gauge cluster was how precise the readings were, and how easy they were to see. For example, the oil-pressure would read 23 lbs pressure at idle cold and then drop like a stone to 7 or 8 lbs if the Caddy's poor little underpowered 4.1 V-8 was running hot. Looking to the Cad's speedometer and tachometer would reveal exactly how many revs the engine was turning at exactly how many miles per hour. Add this to the fact that the Caddy gauges were easy to read in any kind of light and it becomes clear why I chose a Dakota Digital cluster for my '79 C10, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.
If CCT readers recollect one of the major modifications I did to the '79 in the short three weeks of ownership before I took off across the United States to participate in Americruise was to install a 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission from the guys at Gearstar in Akron, Ohio. Going to the computerized version of the 4L60, designated by the E, meant complete external control of the transmission with a Compushift computer, but the stock C10's mechanical speedometer was history. Not a big deal because the stock speedo needle bounced like a Barbie doll with rubber butt cheeks, so I was looking forward to a good excuse to lose it. Another one of the reasons I won't miss the stock dash cluster is when I remember how hard it was to read while I was blasting down the back roads late at night through Colorado. Having to break out a flashlight to see how much gas was in the truck or if I still had oil pressure was a real pain in the neck (literally, because you really have to bend your neck to do that).
Beyond those reasons and the fact Dakota Digital's bright blue numerals look great with the C10's stock blue interior are the features no one ever dreamed a stock analog dash could offer. For instance, the tachometer will recall the highest number of revolutions reached and ditto for the speedometer reading. In addition, 0-60 times can be recorded along with quarter-mile elapsed time and speed. I can hardly wait to make some performance modifications and see if they really made an improvement. Installing the Dakota Digital C10 cluster was pretty simple, but there are some areas to pay special attention to if one wants the job to turn out right.

"This is how a book on spirituality should be"
Listening to "Stillness Speaks", written and narrated by Eckhart Tolle was a wonderful experience. This audiobook actually gives you the chance to contemplate the key learnings in real time, by introducing the much needed silence during the audiobook. I needed to get used to that for a bit, but then found it to be an excellent way to "absorb" this book. Eckhart Tolle would probably tell me I still used too much cognitive reasoning instead of just "being", but hey, I am making progress. :-)
There are so many profound insights in this book, you have to listen to it for yourself. Multiple times.
"Many brilliant, plus some useless spiritual ideas"
I really enjoyed big parts of this book: the importance of "zooming out" to put things in perspective, not sweating the small stuff, not sweating the medium stuff either, and contemplating whether what you think is big stuff in your life is really that important. These parts made me rediscover the wisdom that you can't please all the people all the time.
What seriously turned me off in this book is the risk of turning into someone that finds nothing whatsoever important in life when you say fuck it to EVERYTHING, and becomes a lethargic, passionless, apathetic person.
In short: the "stepping away from what does not matter" part is good, but for ideas on how to build your life around the few things that are truly important you are better off turning to Covey's 7 habits, or Tony Robbins....
"Espionage - romance - literature - all in one!"
Ian McEwan is one of the most intelligent, sophisticated, and enthralling authors of our lifetime. If you have read or listened through any of his previous masterpieces like "Solar", "Amsterdam", "Enduring Love" or "Saturday", then you know (partially) what to expect, though each novel definitely has its very definite style, theme and twist. No "production line" or "template" approach with this author!
"Sweet Tooth" is a tale around Serena Frome - her university years (studying mathematics, but with more of a passion for literature), her entrance into the UK Secret Service MI5, and the tale of her first big assignment in MI5: recruiting author Tom Haley (through a charity type setup) to write a novel promoting freedom of speech and providing a counterweight against communist/socialist novelists.
"Sweet Tooth" is a celebration of literature, science, and love. I enjoyed the way it is crafted, with many "stories in a story" (Serena reading the short stories that Tom has written). Very, very cleverly done. An excellent representation of the 1970s Cold War environment.
I strongly recommend this book, both for readers/listeners who try Ian McEwan for the first time, as well as his long-time fans!
"Fascinating in-depth look at evolution in action"
A wonderful science/biology book that combines depth (the Galapagos finch study by Rosemary and Peter Grant) and breadth (impressive overview of Darwin's discoveries, and work by his scientific followers). Accessible to a non-biologist like me, while at the same time introducing many new concepts and insights from field studies. At times, the book seems to be written in a thriller style, with cliffhangers and plot turns that make you look forward to the next time you can spend time with this excellent book. Highly recommended.
"One of the best Ian McEwan novels!"
"Solar" far exceeded my high expectations. I consider myself an experienced reader of McEwan's novels, having gone through the excellent "Amsterdam", "Enduring Love" and "Saturday". In my opinion, "Solar" is the best among this impressive peer group of novels. I might be prejudiced, as green technology is one of my areas of interest, but it is not just the excellent insights on technology that make this book truly Great. Professor Michael Beard's character is a dramatic one, at times reminding me of tragic Shakespearean protagonists.
Beard is a man with a cognitive claim to fame (his Nobel Prize) that is quickly gathering dust, and who more than offsets this achievement by pretty much screwing up everything else in his life: obesity, lack of social intelligence, marriages and breakups, cover-ups of his vile deeds, general "untidyness", etc.
As usual (he's done similar things in earlier novels), McEwan introduces a dramatic plot turn that is defining the rest of the novel. After that, the decay of Michael Beard seems to accelerate.
A great novel with a nice structure incorporating flashbacks, well narrated in the audiobook version, and ending with an insightful interview with the author.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
"Humourous account of a great journey"
Julia Sweeney shares the account of her search for meaning, religion and spirituality. She puts into words what many of us must have been thinking about for a long time. Humourous and well researched. She shares some very personal and profound thoughts. Highly recommended, a good companion recording to Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion", though Dawkins does a better job at explaning Darwin's insights, however that is only a minor point in the grand scheme of things.
"Spirituality mistaken for Christianity"
This book was written for "men who want to be better, church-going Christians" and "men who lost their sense of masculinity" (quotes from the author), or preferably both. I do not count myself to be either.
John Eldredge holds the mistaken belief that Spirituality equals Christianity. In my view, that is not necessarily the case. John quotes extensively from the Bible, to a level that he is overshooting his target. I would not have minded a biblical quote here and there, as there are many learnings to be found in the Bible, but John is overdoing it.
I very much support the basic premise of the book that men seek battles, need adventure, and a beauty to rescue. John explains this enthusiastically in about 20 minutes. After that, it is just biblical quote after biblical quote and "open door" examples. I gave up after 71 minutes.
I would have given him 4 points out of 5 if John Eldredge would have set a more appropriate context. He could very well have used Darwin's insights on evolution to explain male behaviour, in addition to his biblical perspective.
Of all the great audiobooks that I purchase through Audible, this was one of the rare disappointments.
"Rutherfurd makes history come alive"
New York, the novel, is a masterpiece. It provides a very good overview of key historical periods and events of this great city. Prior to listening to this audiobook, I knew some of New York's history, but I have learned so much more now. Edward Rutherfurd has done a great job researching, and translating it into enjoyable stories. The book has a wide appeal, it discusses historical events, as well as architecture, art, trade, political, and society aspects of life. The characters are well developed, and I emphatized with most of them. Contrary to earlier works by Edward Rutherfurd (London, Sarum), there are no true villains in "New York", which is no judgment either positive or negative, but more a sign of Rutherfurd's style development. Narration of the novel is fine as well.
"Dawkins provides an alternative perspective"
"The God Delusion" is a thought-provoking book. It provides alternative perspectives on some of the key questions in life. Don't expect a complete new theory on the history, the universe and everything, but rather a big collection of non-traditional thoughts. I am happy to be living in a fairly secular country with only a fairly small group of "Christian Taliban". Still, Dawkins raises some very good points that are relevant in many of today's societies. A book worth listening to.
"Great business/espionage thriller"
I love Joseph Finder's books. "Vanished" is a very good one, in my opinion it is better than the previous one "Power Play", but not as good as "Paranoia". The main character Nick Heller has been very well developed. Nick has a clear opinion about things, has humour, and is generally a likeable guy. Nick scored some bonus points with me for listening to Johnny Cash' version of "Hurt" in the car during a drive. Joseph Finder is in tune with today's business environment, and blends in some nice anecdotes in "Vanished": a conspiracy theory on Enron, the impact of the new President in the USA, a cleverly disguised story around a scandal that in real life involved a key official of the Formula One association. The reason I did not award a 5/5, but only a 4/5, is in the lack of credibility in the business rationale/structuring of the corporate scam that is uncovered, as well as the unrealistic "superpowers" that Nick has in some of the scenes. Other than that, a very enjoyable book that I liked listening to.

Anibal returns to the mound as Tigers face Indians
Carrasco starts for Cleveland after getting called up from Triple-A
The Tigers have to be excited about their recent performances at the plate -- especially in their 7-0 win against the Indians on Friday -- but they also should be thrilled to get Anibal Sanchez back from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday.
Sanchez, who is recovering from a strained right shoulder, threw just 23 pitches in a rehab start at Class A Advanced Lakeland before taking a line drive to his left leg. Despite the low pitch count and a bruise on his leg, Sanchez isn't concerned about his arm.
"I feel good," Sanchez said. "There's no question about it. My arm, thank God, is good. The command is there, too."
The Tigers, however, plan to use his next two starts before the All-Star break to build up his workload. Manager Jim Leyland wouldn't say whether he'll be on a specific pitch count or if it's another standard, but he will definitely be monitored.
"Realistic, those two starts set up the second half," Leyland said, "because he's not going to throw a lot of pitches tomorrow. I'm not going to get into detail on how many, but there is no chance that we would expect him to pitch a complete game by any means because of the numbers of pitches we're going to have to limit him to. So that's another little thing you're going to have to fight in this series."
The Indians will counter with Carlos Carrasco, who was called up from Triple-A Columbus before Saturday's game. He's 0-3 with a 8.17 ERA in five starts this season, including allowing six earned runs on 10 hits in four innings against the Tigers on June 8.
"His stuff is electric," manager Terry Francona said about Carrasco after his last start against the Tigers. "But there's still some learning to do, because he didn't pitch in. If he lets them get their arms extended, then it takes away some of the effectiveness of his breaking ball, because they're not respecting in. When he learns to start throwing that fastball in, he's going to be something special."
Indians: McAllister's recovery is going well
• Right-hander Zach McAllister threw 60 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday, inching closer to a return from a sprained right middle finger that put him on the 15-day disabled list on June 3.
"He's doing terrific. That's the good news," said Francona, who mentioned that a rehab start soon after the All-Star break is a "distinct possibility" for McAllister. "And we want him back yesterday. But you can't do it that way."
McAllister didn't throw a breaking ball on Friday but is scheduled to throw on flat ground on Saturday and see how it feels to throw a curveball, the pitch that has caused the most pain for his finger. If all goes well, he could mix them in during a simulated game on Monday at Progressive Field.
• Although Mark Reynolds has found himself in a rough stretch at the plate in the past month, Francona doesn't think it's a huge problem.
"Sometimes, his bat is in and out of the zone more than it was," Francona said. "He had such a good streak there for a while where he was staying through the zone so well, that even when he missed, you know, but he's had just a little bit of movement with his body, so his bat's in and out of the zone a little quicker than normal. I actually thought the last week or so it's been better."
Reynolds is batting .165 with three home runs and 55 strikeouts in his last 36 games.
Tigers: Tuiasosopo returns from the DL
• The Tigers activated Matt Tuiasosopo from the 15-day disabled list on Friday after he spent two rehab games at Triple-A Toledo. Avisail Garcia was optioned to Toledo to make room for Tuiasosopo.
Tuiasosopo was batting .412 with a homer and five RBIs in June before he suffered an intercostal strain during batting practice on June 20.
Although Tuiasosopo's role is a platoon outfielder to face left-handed pitching, he's hit .333 with two home runs and 10 RBIs against right-handers in 27 at-bats.
• Along with Tuiasosopo and Sanchez returning from injury to face the Indians, the Tigers are also hoping to have Omar Infante playing by the end of the series.
Infante has a bandage on his bruised left shin, but his main limitation is his left ankle. He expects to return within two days, though he still had some discomfort when he tried to hit off a tee.
Worth noting
• Torii Hunter has dominated against Carrasco, going 4-for-8 with two home runs and three RBIs in his career versus the right-hander.
• Jason Kipnis has a 16-game hitting streak, batting .446 over that stretch. He's also reached base through a hit, walk or hit-by-pitch in 36 straight games.

This could get ugly...
Maybe they should plan on pushing the release date to May or June?
Phoronix: More Backporting Madness: X Server 1.8 To 1.7
With Ubuntu 10.04 LTS shipping with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel rather than the latest stable release (the Linux 2.6.33 kernel), there has been some back-porting of code to this older release. The Lucid Lynx is using the 2.6.32 kernel since this is a Long-Term Support release and so Canonical and the Ubuntu kernel team has been more conservative this time around...
This could get ugly...
Maybe they should plan on pushing the release date to May or June?
This is madness
it is waste of time....
I have one machine that is still running 8.04. I skipped 8.10 because I heard lousy things about it. Skipped 9.04 because I didn't want to do incremental upgrades, and skipped 9.10 for much the same reason, and because 10.04 was just around the corner anyway. Have been looking forward to 10.04 so I could upgrade this older system in a single step and remain on a solid LTS release. But 10.04 is sounding less stable with all the back porting.
couldnt they have put effort in the X server 1.8 branch as a hole instead of working for themselves? maybe i dont get the situation right.. all desicions when what program release will be due out, have been made far before oktober last year, havent they?
i wonder if the fglrx driver made this choice come up by some amount. cause i didnt get the reason (or this quote) at all, as im not a native english speaker. maybe someone can explain please?
P.S.: im sry for having accused Canonica/Ubuntu for not being too much a part of linux community. now i know they are not as they are a profit oriented company (in some way).
Despite all this backporting, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is a great release and running better than I would have ever expected. I still think they should have gone with Xserver 1.8 and Linux 2.6.33 (and maybe Mesa 7.8) though...
Ubuntu urges other distros to pick a common, stable base, so that Linux can become an easier target for commercial businesses. What would they tell them now if they went ahead and pulled the latest and greatest?
So now they're cheating and started to backport stuff while still claiming they're on "kernel 2.6.32" and "X.Org 1.7."
It would have been better if they had made a normal Ubuntu release and just tagged it as a pre-LTS release. Then in half a year when everything has stabilized they could switch the label to full LTS and start promoting it.
The ones who needs stable releases would get a platform which had been thoroughly tested. The ones who wants to live closer to the edge would also gain since each and every release would bring something new.
So how many HACKports is that now?
They expect this to be stable somehow?

Pastor's Column: Riding the fence
Deuteronomy 30: 19-20When I was a farmer/rancher in Colorado and Nebraska many years ago (actually in the last Millennium), one of the necessary and almost constant chores on the place was "riding fence". This involved riding slowly (or walking) along the pasture fences to make sure none of the wires were broken or posts rotted off that would allow the cattle to escape and wind up with the neighbor's herd, especially during breeding season. Riding fence was a time-consuming job, but one that was essential to maintain our livelihood. "Good fences make good neighbors" was a time-honored maxim in our community.Another common practice among people is called "riding the fence" (not to be confused with "riding fence"). It involves never taking a stand, hoping that this approach will somehow avoid all sources of conflict and problems in life. To "be neutral" on a subject has come to be highly regarded in our society, in a land populated by folks who love the "Land of the Fuzzy." To take a stand on any subject is considered suspect, and is not to be tolerated. What does God say about "riding the fence"? When the people of Israel had finally reached the border of the Promised Land, Moses issued this challenge to them: This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).Did you catch that? "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses;" not half-life (that's another story) or half-death; not half-blessings or half-curses. In other words, serve the Lord all the way, not halfway. Don't ride the fence, thinking that you can lead a double life and get away with it! God is not mocked, and He will know instantly whether we have made a halfway, half-hearted attempt at serving Him. The choice is clear: Life or Death; Blessings or Curses.It's your choice. Choose wisely, but don't try to ride the fence.

These weren't the prom pictures they were expecting to take.
Standing in the middle of a busy interstate, their blood was soaking through their tuxedos and gowns.
The group of 24 Western High School seniors was in a rented limousine on Interstate 595 in Broward County when a terrifying accident happened just in front of it. A van had slammed into a highway wall Saturday night.
"I tried to slam my brakes on, but with 24 kids in the back, it's hard to slam the brakes on," limo driver Danny Izzi said.
Izzi shot video of the students in their formal wear, hustling out of his limo, trying to help any way they could.
Inside the upside-down van was a family with young children.
"(A) little kid ran out of the van first and started running towards us," Frank Tucker said.
Fellow senior Peter Kim, who is going to college to become a doctor, immediately picked up the frightened child.
"The first reaction was to get him out of the car, get him away from the car (and) just sit him down, tell him to relax, (that) everything will be alright," he said.
Some students called 911.
"Adrenaline was pumping," Tucker said.
Following their heroics, the seniors realized their outfits were soaked.
"I looked down and saw blood all over my dress, and I was like, 'Oh my God,'" Krista Pulcini said.
And then there was the matter of the big night.
"They made it to prom," Izzi said. "Probably a few minutes late, but they made it."

I am looking for improving my server performance, is there any best combine of LiteSpeed with another guy? Thanks.
In case i scale out, a load balancer will be stand front of backend LiteSpeed servers. Ngix/Squid/Varnish/HAProxy - Which will be best suit with LiteSpeed? My site mainly serves streaming media like Youtube. Thanks.
Thanks. There are a lot of Load Balancer Company on the market. I'm confused with their features I don't know which features suit for my case.
nginx can help you if you have a lot of slow clients (like mobile devices) nginx will be like a very fast client for scripts on litespeed - litepseed will be able to send data to the nginx very fast and your script will finish faster too. + you can cache some data with nginx
ive 4 x litespeed webservers behind a pair of LVS loadbalancers, which is behind a cdn seems to work nicely, is a nice feeling when your gigabit uplink is the bottleneck ive always been a little confused as to why i'd setup a cluster of servers, then bottleneck all my ssl connections at the loadbalancer. i like lvs because it need not care about the data, it just tunnels tcp connections. each server is handling ssl, distributing the load is the point isnt it in the end i dont think theres really much difference between loadbalancers. your choice is all about the features you feel are important i've found HAproxy to be rather poor performance when you need to do sticky sessions Varnish is great, but doesn't support SSL (last i checked). i use it where i need to enforce caching Squid is super slow, don't even bother nxinx i haven't used since the documentation was in russian. and i've yet to test litespeed's loadbalancer, mostly cause ive already got a solution that works
Thank you. If sticky sessions isn't a problem with me, Will Varnish be better than HAProxy? I want to cache dynamic contents too.
i would probably use varnish then. you can use it to loadbalance your servers and cache content at the same time
A server which is running Varnish mainly - Load balancer + Front cache server, will RAM or the CPU speed or the uplink of banwidth be the important thing? Please choose 2 of those factors to help me.
Use LSWS with 2-CPU license, it will give your basic load balancing and cache, I am not sure varnish can do load balancing or not.
I have tried the trial of 2-CPU license, it seem difficult to config basic "load balancing"? I want to distribute the load to other backend servers.
basically you need to: 1. create web server external app for each backend at server or vhost level 2. create a load balancer external app with proxy::backend* created in 1 as worker 3. create a load balancer context at vhost level using load balancer external app created in 2. That's it. Refer to below wiki (also covers cache proxy for 2-CPU license) on how to create web server external app: http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:reverse_proxy_cache
TQ. OK, I have 2 question, 1. I'm installing litespeed with cPanel. How to do load balancing since I don't insert vhost in litespeed? 2. When you say basic load balancing, is it just by round-robin?
proxy, load balancer external app are LSWS specifics which only available for LSWS vhost. iow, you need to create LSWS listener and vhost as frontend proxy to access backend (cpanel vhost). basic load balancing is _not_ round-robin in that load balancer will not route traffic to a backend when it becomes unavailable.

Exciting times .
Phoronix: Open-Source R600 OpenGL Support May Come Soon
In late December AMD had released open-source R600/700 3D code and a month later they released the 3D documentation that covers these Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series graphics cards. The initial code drop didn't do much good for end-users as they couldn't do much more than render a couple triangles, but over the past few months the open-source developers have been working on the proper Mesa support for the R600/700 graphics cards in a private code repository...
Exciting times .
I hope it gets released soon. 1 week would be awesome!
It would be interesting to know whether Compiz/KWin4 already work.
I doubt Compiz will work yet, although I don't think it has been tested. Don't read too much into this, when the code appears in the public repo it will just mean "I finally had time to get it reviewed and released so the rest of the work can happen in public". It won't correspond to any particular milestone in the development.
We're in the middle of changing the code to be "fairly close to what is needed to run over a memory manager" and compatible with the radeon-rewrite work happening in another branch but AFAIK there is no 6xx/7xx memory manager yet so don't be dreaming about RDR next week.
Dream about glxgears at 100fps or something like that for now - we haven't accelerated upload/download yet so there are a lot of software copies from system memory to video ram still.
Last edited by bridgman; 03-28-2009 at 03:10 PM.
Can someone tell me why this code needs to be approved by AMD in the first place? I thought that was the point of putting out the documentation - the devs could base all their work off of that and know that it was OK'd by the lawyers ahead of time. Was the documentation released not enough to do all the work and they are still relying on private info? Or are these devs just AMD employees and have to get everything they do signed off on?
I'm curious as to how support for multiple cards is coming along in radeon(&hd). Will there be a point where I can plug in two cards, run one display device on each card, and start an instance of accelerated gears on each screen? Can I drag gears from one screen to another?
Is someone currently looking into multiplexing (SLI, AFR, etc)?
AFAIU for the newer chips (R600+) it is not clear which documentation you actually need to write a driver. Also documentation alone is not as good as documentation + working basic code to see how it works in the code.
Any yes, AFAICS many of the devs are emplyed, Red Hat, (Novell) and AMD. But there are also other people (w.g. students) working on the code for free.
I think the devs decide what makes sense to work on and in which order. Also the developer employed by AMD not only writes code, he also helps with writing drivers, if there are things unclear in the documentation for example.
Two main issues :
1. Work on the 3D code started before we finalized a documentation package, so we need to check the header files used by the 3D driver against what we finally released.
2. We borrowed shader compiler code from an in-house driver stack used for pre-silicon hardware testing. Richard ended up re-writing a fair amount of it but we still need to review the contents of that code before release.
That's it -- nothing to do with the developers being AMD employees, just that they were using "unreleased" programming info. All of their remaining work will go directly into the public repositories.

"I found Working Person's Store just in the last few months. I have a couple clients with needs, and WPS has been able to fulfill the orders. I love the store. Recently I had orders which surpassed your in-stock quantities. There was some back orders and orders placed on the phone. It got a little confusing. I placed a couple calls over the past week trying to resolve the invoicing and billing as it was not matching up. Sherri was a tremendous help for me. She promised to get back to me. And she did. Within the hour, she got back to me with the invoices I needed, and the resolution to the billing. And, as suspected, there was a discrepancy. Sherri found it and proactively emailed me with the news. Sherri exemplifies great customer support, a can-do attitude and the willingness to take care of the issue now. A special thanks to Sherri.

The reading world is now my oyster--I've finished up my reading for this year's Notable Books List! And a great list it was.
But now I can read whatever I want--and I chose "The Good Daughter" simply by searching on "memoir" as a keyword in our catalog, and sorting by date for a recent one.
This is Jasmin Darznik's story of her mother's life, and a whole part of that life that was unknown to Jasmin until she came upon a photograph in her mother's belongings, clearly a wedding picture of her mother (then very young) and a man who was not Jasmin's father.
Jasmin knew that she had come to America from Iran when she was three, with her mother and German father. She grew up an American girl.
Although her mother at first refused to respond to Jasmin's questions, eventually she sent Jasmin a series of cassette tapes telling about her childhood and young womanhood.
This period of time in Iran, the 1950's and 1960's, saw great change and transition. Some families remained very conservative in their expectations of women, insisting on veils and staying mostly at home, while other women wore Western dress and held career jobs. What Darznik does very well is use her mother's story to describe that period of uneasy "progress."
But in the end, it is her mother's story, and I enjoyed it immensely despite her sometimes bleak circumstances. Darznik tells the story well, filling in information where necessary, letting her mother often speak for herself. I came to both love and hate the characters she drew.
I came away with a better sense of the social history of Iran, and with much admiration for her mother, who endured so much, and who continued persevering in America.
I'll recommend this to many of my reading friends--the rewarding story, the interesting setting, and the issues of families generally and families reacting to social upheaval in particular, will gratify many different readers. This would be an excellent choice for a book group, too.

This is a beautifully bright suit. Thanks to a previous reviewer I was aware that the size runs small - I am a 4 and purchased a 6 which fits perfectly. The color is awesome and looks great with my medium brown complexion. I paired it with red heels, the ladies in my office give me a lot of complements.
Runs small
I ordered this pant suit and received it yesterday. While I love the color and the style, it runs a bit small. Am returning it for the next size up.

- Tracking of sexual assaults in Alaska 'inadequate', Senate committee says
Tracking of sexual assaults in Alaska 'inadequate', Senate committee says
By James Halpin
Alaska needs more village public safety officers, forensic nurses and better tracking for sexual assaults to help combat its status as the rape capital of the U.S., according to a new Senate Judiciary Committee report.
The report, released Friday, calls the current sex assault data tracking system "inadequate at best" for a state with a sex assault report rate of more than 2 1/2 times the national average.
The numbers tracked in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report don't include child or male victims, not to mention that 41 Alaska police departments -- mostly smaller, rural ones -- failed to report data in 2007 despite being required to do so, according to the report.
The report urges the Legislature to require the Department of Public Safety to collect uniform information on sex assaults and suggests lawmakers commission a victim survey to better understand the scope of the problem. In addition, the state should hire more VPSOs, nurses and child-pornography investigators, the report concludes.
"We have a serious problem here in the state," said state Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. "Just focusing on the people that we've convicted isn't getting at the problem. ... What we heard loud and clear was that there are simple ways to build stronger cases, to produce more viable prosecutions against the many, many cases that are happening out there."
For example, of the 1,184 reports of sexual violence Alaska State Troopers got in 2003 and 2004, only 271 were accepted for prosecution, resulting in 217 convictions, according to the report, based on testimony from law enforcement experts this summer.
Lack of VPSOs could play a big role in the non-prosecuted sex assaults, the study says. According to state troopers, the rate of serious sexual assaults went down 40 percent and cases were 3 1/2 times more likely to be accepted for prosecution in villages with a VPSO.
Likewise, medical-forensic exams after sex assaults more than double the chance that cases will be prosecuted. But of 15 sexual assault nurse examiner programs in Alaska, only four are active, according to the report.
"It's all about putting your evidence together," said Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, vice chairman of the committee. "If the prosecutors can't put the evidence together because you don't have a trooper or a VPSO that's there, or because you didn't get the appropriate medical exam as quickly as possible, get the DNA samples as quickly as possible, they make cases hard to prosecute."
In addition to bolstering the ranks of VPSOs and forensic nurses, the report also suggests looking for ways to help the State Crime Lab process DNA evidence quickly and continuing support of programs to reduce alcohol consumption, which is a factor in a majority of sex assault cases for Anchorage police.
The report also urges lawmakers to expand the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which targets online predators dealing in child porn or seeking out kids in chat rooms.
"We know that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people out there who are doing this and we also know from the studies that a large percentage of people who use child pornography commit crimes against children," Wielechowski said. "We just don't have the resources to go out and prosecute those cases."
