QUARRIER CORNER AD gives year-end update on high school activities
As the 2013-2014 school year comes to a close, preparations have already been made for the 2014-2015 seasons. I thought I might share a few new things on the horizon for Quarrier athletics. Some of these are still in the works, but as we head into our "off-seasons," it's fun to look ahead at next year.Cheerleading: Be prepared for an all new look on the sidelines and mat as the girls will be looking to get new uniforms. Coach Richael is in the process of holding tryouts for her squads for next year, and along with that she is carefully searching for that perfect new look to outfit the girls. Another change for '14-'15 will be the possibility of creating one larger basketball cheer squad that cheers for both boys and girls.Boys Golf: Not much looks to change for the linksters next year, and that is definitely a good trend as our boys will be the defending state champs. One change at the state level is that no two teammates can be in a group together at the state tournament. The state tournament will head west of the river to Hot Springs next fall, but with the boys we have returning and the number of rounds they log in the summer, I expect Coach Hoglund and the boys will have a real shot at a repeat.Cross Country: Other than a slight order shift of Class AA races at the state meet, not much will change for our runners next year. Coach Hegge will get the girls and boys in the weight room and out running on the roads in July, and it won't be long until that first practice on August 18. The runners will head back up to Huron in October for the state meet where we hope to make a little noise.Volleyball: There will be several changes to the DRHS volleyball landscape next fall. Coaches Reimnitz and Schrecegost have both stepped down so the process is underway to find their replacements. As with Cheer, the volleyball squad is up in the rotation for new uniforms and will show those off the last Saturday in August at the Canton Tourney. The SDHSAA has also made a few state-wide changes such as tweaking the 20 – minute warm up time, allowing a player to play seven instead of five sets, and changing the practice start date to Thursday, August 14.Football: After at least a dozen years, the boys will be donning new uniforms in '14-'15 which they will display at the season opener vs. Madison, August 29. That date is a change as Dells has had our bye on the first week for many years in the past, but next season we will have that second Friday off. Otherwise, not much else will change next year as we are in the second year of two-year contracts. The SDHSAA is looking at a revamp in the football classification system, but as of now, nothing has been decided for sure. Coach Hansen and the boys will start Accelereation the beginning of June and hopefully, that pays off with another late season run to the Dome.Wrestling: Coach Jorgensen and the boys will hit the mats the middle of November with very few changes. The first Saturday in December will be our Top of the Rock Tournament, and Dells will be the site of the Dakota XII tournament later on in the winter. With the generosity of the Youth Wrestling Boosters and the DRHS Booster Club, we are looking at purchasing a third mat that can be set up in the MS Commons. Statewide, the Association is moving toward the use of a universal stats program, and the SDHSAA has set a few guidelines about the number of matches it takes to acquire a seed at the state tournament.Girls Basketball: As with volleyball the amount that a bb player can participate has gone up. The "quarter rule" which was set at six per night has gone up to seven. With the players we have returning, I am looking forward to tipping off practice bright and early on that Monday of Thanksgiving week. We have moved the McCook game up earlier in the season, but besides that not much will be new. The playoff system of Regions will stay the same with the state tournament landing in Watertown next March. Boys Basketball: The boys, too, will be able to play seven quarters instead of six. Also, and I didn't mention it with the GBB, but all Class A basketball teams are waiting for the Board of Directors to make a final decision on the shot clock. It really looks like we are still a year away from seeing it implemented in our Class. Schedule wise, the boys will not play Cheyenne-Eagle Butte this year but rather added Duebrook that last week of the season. Coach Fersdahl and the boys will hit the hardwood for their first practice on December 1.Track: Coach Fiedler and Coach Putnam are in the middle of their seasons right now and working hard to deal with less than great weather conditions thus far. Both the boys and girls qualifiers will run Pre-Lims for the state meet at Madison this year and then finish up May 31 at Howard Wood Field. There are no new changes coming down from the SDHSAA for '14-'15, but locally, we are looking at updating our high jump pit next year or the year after. Girls Golf: The girls golfers and I, like the track teams, are fighting the good fight against our lousy weather this spring. Our state tournament qualifiers will head to Spearfish for the state meet this year and then be in Madison in '14-'15. The SDHSAA changes mentioned earlier for the boys will hold true for the lady linksters as well. Also, the Association is looking at moving the entire girl's season one week later in search of better weather conditions.I hope to see you all at our All-Sport Athletic Awards Night at 6:30 on Friday, May 9. Have a safe and relaxing summer - and see you at a game next fall!

It held my curl no better than a $10 Walmart wand. Also a little to big of a barrel. Still looking for a wand that actually curls my hair
I didn't realize that this Iron didn't have a Clamp or a Spring.You have to wrap the Hair around it and hold onto it Manuel. I didn't like this feature,so i sent it back.I still haven't heard if it was Credited to my account yet,and it was back in April.Hopefully i will hear back soon,or i will have to contact them.This is no reflection on the Quality of The Iron.I have two Chi Curling Irons already,and the quality is awesome,just didn't care for this design.
Your pricing was the same everywhere. I thought Overstock used better prices. This was bought for a gift and the receiver did like.
I got my money's worth.its the best wand that I've had and shopping was quick
I almost bought this same wand at Kohls. But Overstock listed it $9 less. Shipping was free! Can't beat that! And Chi is my family's favorite curling iron/wand. Great purchase!
Bought this Chi wand for my daughter and she loves it!
Great product I would highly recommend it. It is just as I would expect a chi item to be. Always known for their straighteners and now I will add this to my list of excellent hair products.

With all that said... now I can post the short answer.
And, this is just the way that I do it...
IF I'm going to have a sponsor -- I'm going to follow my sponsors suggestions -- regardless if I think they are the right suggestions for me or not. IF I'm going to sponsor myself -- I'm going to do it my way, and not bother with having a sponsor. This is the way I learned it by my experience of it -- and this is the way I now sponsor. If a person needs or wants to do it their way -- then, they don't need me as a sponsor, and should ask someone else to sponsor them. That way it doesn't waste my time or theirs.
I've learned that there is a "spiritual principle to sponsorship." And, that would be too long of an answer here, to get into.
If I don't have an apple -- I can't give away an apple. I can only offer to give what I've got.
Again, wishing the best of the best of the best for you!

Helpful Definition for: Adult & Continuing Education
Adult education in Whitinsville, as the name suggests, is the education which is imparted to the adults. Adult education can have different implications for different people. The most common form of adult education is designed for adults who, for some reason or the other, could not get a basic school certificate. Others may take the form of continuing education. Continuing education in Whitinsville is for people who are employed and want to get a higher degree which can help their career grow. Continuing education can help a person increase their technical knowledge and skills.
Thus adult and continuing education are targeted for the adults, be it for getting the basic educational degree or be it for getting higher technical or educational degrees.Other than this, one can take up adult education for having a college degree in a non-traditional setting. There are many who join in these classes just to improve their knowledge.
Classes teaching foreign languages, grooming for professional development, preparing for competitive examinations are different examples of adult and continuing education. Thus, adult and continuing education is solely aimed for improving the learning standards of every individual depending on their needs and specifications.

Denise Robinson
this wiki
CHARACTER Denise Robinson | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas |
Full name: | Denise Robinson |
Status: | Player's choice |
Gender: | Female |
Home: | House in Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas |
Nationality: | American |
Family: | Unnamed three children |
Main affiliation: | Carl Johnson Grove Street Families |
Vehicle(s): | Green Hustler |
Businesses: | Prostitution |
Voiced by: | Heather Alicia Simms |
Denise Robinson is a character who appears as a supporting character in GTA San Andreas. She is a prostitute and Carl Johnson's first girlfriend in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. She wears a football jersey with Growler written on the back. Denise lives in Ganton, Los Santos and is a supporter of the Grove Street Families. She first meets Carl Johnson during the mission Burning Desire, where CJ, on the orders of Officer Frank Tenpenny, sets fire to set of houses belonging to Vagos members. Denise, who is inside one of the homes, cries for help and is rescued by Carl. They then begin to date.
Denise, as a Grove Street Families member, enjoys doing drive-by shootings on the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos. She does not mind what Carl looks like, and is normally at her home between 16:00 and 06:00 (4:00 PM and 6:00 AM).
[show]Early Life
Denise grew up in Ganton Courts and later relocated to a house next to Grove Street and became a prostitute. She mentions that she had 3 kids in the past, but gave them away to foster care.
Date Types
Food Date
Denise prefers to go to either a fast food restaurant (such as Cluckin' Bell) or in Ten Green Bottles, a bar just northwest of her home. She also hates diners, restaurants and Burger Shot but likes to go to Pizza Stack.
Dancing Date
Denise prefers to go to Alhambra, a club on the edge of Idlewood, Los Santos. (Note: if Carl takes Denise to Alhambra and the dancing date has not been requested, it's treated the same as a visit to Ten Green Bottles, with the same cut scene.)
Driving Date
Denise likes the area surrounding her house like Ganton and Idlewood and does not mind how fast or slow you drive.
"Alternative date"
The alternative date for Denise is to do a drive-by on other gangs in Los Santos, whether it be at cars or a group of people. Allowing Denise to do a drive-by will normally make her happy and you will NOT fail the original date she sets you at the start.
The alternative date can be completed instead of performing the original intended dates, like dancing, however it is combined with the driving date (i.e. Denise's "fun" meter will increase after she's shot at someone).
Note: if Denise asks to do a drive-by after you've taken over 100% of the gang territories in Los Santos, she won't shoot at any Grove Street gang members.
Denise should start inviting you in for coffee after dates when your relationship with her is at about 40%.
Denise rewards Carl when the relationship reaches 50%, by giving him the keys to her green Hustler (which is only available during the times she is at home). At 100%, Denise gives Carl a pimp suit, which is a light blue suit with a pair of shoes.
Mission appearances
- GTA San Andreas
- Although all girlfriends may telephone Carl asking for a date, Denise does it more than the others.
- Her license plate on the green Hustler says "HOMEGIRL".
- When it comes to food dates, she is the easiest to take out because the bar is a block away while a restaurant is right in front of her home.
- After CJ takes over Madd Dogg's mansion back, if the player ever listens to Radio Los Santos, they might hear her asking Carl to see her because she's desperate. The DJ then complains that shoutouts like those should end up on Lonely Hearts, and not there.
- On her driving date she will tell CJ random facts about her such as "I had three kids, but I gave them away."
- You can unlock her Hustler without having 50% progress by using another car to push it into your garage and letting the door close.
- Denise is a prostitute, that's why she is always with Los Santos Vagos, and she gives CJ a Pimp Suit once he reach 100% progress with her, it is also suggested by her car which is a "Hustler".
- There is a pedestrian with the same model as Denise in the mission A Home In The Hills. Killing the pedestrian does not effect your relationship with Denise, however.
- Carl encounters Denise very rarely in vigilante missions as seen in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_vpdjD2wL8
- When the player encounters her in vigilante missions, killing her, however doesn't affect the storyline.
- After The Green Sabre, at which point Carl is based for a time outside of Los Santos, he no longer has any obligations towards Denise: he will not receive nagging phone calls, nor will his progress decrease, so long as he stays outside of Los Santos. If he reenters the city (except during a mission), the progress bar will reappear (and go up and down accordingly) and Denise will attempt to phone him again. This also applies when Carl reestablishes his base in Los Santos near the end of the game (dating Denise during the riots is possible, if dangerous to both Carl and Denise). Carl has the option to continue dating her, but there is no storyline-related obligation to do so.
- She is the easiest girlfriend to date as she is not picky and the establishments are near, in comparison to Helena Wankstein, who lives in a ranch far from any establishment.
- If you kill her while in a date, she will drop a Micro Uzi, which is used to drive-by some Ballas.

Externship Program Overview
What is an externship: *Externships vary in length, but usually last three to five days. They generally involve shadowing a professional through a normal day's activities and may include informational interviews, a tour of the facility, and participation in actual office projects, etc.
What is the difference between an internship and an externship: *Externships are short-term, offer no pay (though *some* transportation funding is available through the CLS), and are hosted by alumni volunteers in various organizations to help students gain an insider's view of a career field. Internships are longer term (a semester or summer), may involve pay and academic credit, and support an organizations work function.
Why should I do an externship: *An externship is an excellent way to learn about the day-to-day work life of a professional in a career field of your choice. It offers you the chance to "test" a career without the risk of long- term commitment and can help you get your foot in the door for a competitive internship program or job.
How does this program work: CLS matches first and second year students with alumni job shadow supervisors. Students stay three to five days with the alumnus/a and observe him/her at work as a method to not only further understand that career field but how that career fits into one's life. This program is intended to be a jump off point for students to start exploring their career options and talking with professionals in order to: [1] clarify their career exploration and interests, [2] connect their course work to outside the classroom and their future plans, and [3] connect with and learn from alumni externship mentors.
Who can apply: First and second-year students have priority, but third and fourth years are welcome to apply as well.
* Descriptions provided from University of Arkansas, University Career Development Center Website:http://career.uark.edu/Students/Externships.aspx

The application process for the Spring Break 2015 Externship Program IS NOW LIVE and will be conducted through OrgSync.

Application Materials

Do I have to have a certain GPA to apply?: Students are required to be currently enrolled as a full-time student, pre-registered for classes, in good academic standing, and enrolled in classes for the semester following their externship experience.
Is there funding for this program?: A small, limited amount of money is set aside for travel stipends for ONLY those in need.
Where will I stay during the externship?: Most of the externships include an optional homestay, usually at the alumna/us' home. However, if the homestay is available, students are not required to stay with the alumna/us. Should the alumna/us not offer a homestay component or if the student declines the available homestay, it is the student's responsibility to secure lodging for the duration of the externship.
How will I get to my externship site?: It is the responsibility of the student extern to secure transportation to and from the externship site.
How do I submit my externship application materials?: Students must submit all components of an externship application via the online application by the appropriate deadline. No separate components will be accepted at the CLS. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure their externship application is submitted in its entirety. Only complete applications will be reviewed by the Selection Committee.
Can I apply for more than one externship?: Students apply and rank their up to three externships in which they are interested.
What is expected of me if accepted:
- One pre-externship workshop held at the CLS
- Three to five day home stay with the alumna/us
- One post-externship workshop held at the CLS
- During your externship experience you will also be expected to write in a daily blog with a minimum of 5 submissions onto your own blog and commenting on the blogs of your fellow externs
Do I have to set up the blog myself?: No, the CLS will set up the blog and you will learn more about how to use it, how to comment on others' blogs, and what to write during the pre-externship workshop.

Detailed Description:
Background: Two third of all people infected with HIV live in Sub-Saharan Africa. A region also affected with a great burden of other infectious diseases. Relatively few patients have access to anti-retroviral treatment and many suffer from debilitating diarrhea that causes their immune system to deteriorate. Prevention of infectious diseases among HIV patients is of great importance and makes the immune system deteriorate less rapidly. The track record for probiotics to prevent and alleviate infectious diarrhea is impressive. So, the use of probiotics among HIV patients is a logical step and could be an adjunctive tool for physicians to halt the decline of the CD4 count.
Another important application for the use of probiotics is in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is a vaginal infection, caused by a group of pathogens, which is extremely common, and estimated to occur in 50% of black African women. In the US, the prevalence is 29%, which again is extremely high. This infection makes a woman more vulnerable to contracting sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Having BV is also a risk factor to transmit HIV to a partner or a newborn. Conventional antibiotic treatment of BV has a cure rate of 40% among black African women. A recent study shows that combining the probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 with an antibiotic has a cure rate of 88%.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 45 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed HIV infection.
- Participant does not meet the criteria for ARV therapy, CD4 count > 200, no clinical stage 3 or 4 [National guidelines, 2005].

Friends Farrell, Black match wits at Fenway Park
Managers of Red Sox, Padres were teammates with the Indians
While the Padres and Red Sox don't have much of a history with each other, the teams' two managers go way back.
San Diego manager Bud Black and Red Sox manager John Farrell played together on the 1988 Cleveland Indians and have continued to stay in touch. Both are also the only current managers who were pitchers during their big league careers.
"John and I go obviously back to the late 80's as teammates. I think there's probably a similar position bond that we have and how we view our managerial situations," Black said. "But I think at the end of the day, even going back to when we played together and out relationship personally, he's a good baseball man. He knows baseball. He's got a great baseball mind. He thinks like a player and that can combine both pitching and position player. He's got a great feel for the game."
They will match wits when the two clubs square off again on Wednesday at Fenway Park.
Coming off back-to-back wins, Jon Lester will be on the hill for the Red Sox. While he's had a string of recent success, Lester hasn't been the same dominant pitcher he was earlier this season.
Lester is 2-4 with a 6.99 ERA in his last eight starts, and opponents are hitting .316 against him during that span.
He'll be up against Padres right-hander Edinson Volquez, who had one of his best starts of the season his last time on the mound.
Dominating the Marlins once again, Volquez allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings for his sixth win of the season. Volquez also struck out eight in the contest and leads the Padres with 79 strikeouts.
"They got their hits, but he was able to slow them down," Black said after the game. "When they did stress him a little bit with baserunners, he made pitches."
Padres: Two players added on first day of international signing period
The Padres signed two players on Tuesday, the first day of the international signing period.
The Padres signed shortstop Ruddy Giron for $600,000 and right-hander Jaimito Lebron for $410,000.
Both players have had their age and identification cleared by Major League Baseball. Giron and Lebron are not eligible to play professionally until 2014, but can work out at the Dominican Republic complex and compete in instructional league there as well.
Red Sox: Drew likely out the next few games
Boston shortstop Stephen Drew will likely sit out the entire series against the Padres this week with a tight right hamstring.
Drew hasn't played since exiting Friday's game against the Blue Jays, and Farrell does not anticipate him playing before the Red Sox begin their West Coast road trip on Friday.
"He's improving," Farrell said before Tuesday's game. "He was able to get out and do some running today, some light jogging. But he's been responding favorable to treatment. [We] don't have a projected date this week when he'd get back on the field."
Drew is batting .233 with five home runs, six triples and 31 RBIs this season.
Worth noting
• The Red Sox said on Tuesday that they don't expect ace Clay Buchholz to be back before the All-Star break. The right-hander will need two rehab starts before returning to Boston's roster and Buchholz is still in the beginning stages of a throwing program he began after being placed on the disabled list.
• Padres outfielder Reymond Fuentes was added to the roster of the World Team in the Futures Game, which will be played on July 14 at Citi Field.

Nice review. But there is one missing thing: CPU usage comparison.
It would be nice to see how much percent of CPU is used.
Phoronix: Promise SATA300 TX4 SATA 2.0
We don't review many disk controllers or hard drives at Phoronix but we decided to take a quick look at the Promise Technology SATA300 TX4 PCI controller card, which promises to be a cost-effective 4-port Serial ATA 2.0 controller. Two of the features include Native Command Queuing and Tagged Command Queuing support, but how does its performance compare to solutions integrated on the motherboard? In this review of the Promise SATA300 TX4 we tested it with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn using an nForce 430 chipset.
Nice review. But there is one missing thing: CPU usage comparison.
It would be nice to see how much percent of CPU is used.
Nice review. I'm a recent first-time builder who built before
discovering this site. My motherboard reqs included many (6-8) SATA
ports, when in hindsight I should have aimed instead for 8 DIMM slots,
and bought this board. I may yet rebuild.
I was puzzled by the "No RAID support" comment without elaboration.
That is a GOOD THING. A pointer to Linux software raid would have
helped beginners here.
Linux software raid is vastly superior to any hardware raid in
anything close to this price range.
1. Such hardware raid at this price point, e.g. what would be built
into a motherboard, is widely termed in the Linux community as "fake
raid". It relies mostly on the cpu, just like Linux soft raid, only
with far less flexibility or support.
2. If the hardware fails, chances are that you're hosed unless you can
replicate the exact hardware again. Move soft raid drives to any new
Linux box and the soft raid will be recognized automatically.
3. Soft raid stays ahead of hard raid in feature sets, e.g. raid 6
support, ease of adding drives.
4. Soft raid is far more abstract. For example, I'm using the largest
partitions on each of three 750 GB drives for a 1.3 TB raid 5 array,
still leaving partitions free e.g. to spread swap over the same three
drives, rather than on my OS drive. This is optimized for either
compute or file serving; I'll be favoring one at a time, so no
performance conflict. A hardware raid could force me to dedicate
entire drives to the raid array; how likely is it that I would then
have three more drives available for spreading out swap? With this
same flexibility, I plan to write rendundant (lose any two) DVD backup
sets, using ordinary loopback-mounted files organized into a raid 6
Hardware raid just locks you into someone else's lack of imagination.
Linux software raid barely gets one of my four cores out of idle; as
my break-in test I used my raid array to repeatedly build 30 copies at
once of GHC Haskell from source. It worked flawlessly.
I second the comments of Syzygies. I have two Abit IC7-G mobos, each of which has 4 on-board SATA ports. Each is running a 4-drive RAID-5 configuration with multiple volumes managed using Linux LVM.
I would love to be able to move at least one of these arrays to an old Pentium3 box as a server that I can park somewhere out of my workspace (noise reduction). Up till now, the only option to accomplish this was an expensive "true" hardware RAID controller*, such as 3Ware offers. (Bring money.)
(* True RAID controllers present the OS with one or more logical drives and completely insulate the OS from the physical details of the array. Many also offer hardware-based checksum engines, on-board caching, etc. The "pseudo" RAID offered in motherboard chipsets is a lame attempt at "claiming" RAID support, when the result is really software RAID, and often an inferior implementation at that.) /rant off
So, I would be *very* interested in benchmarks using this controller that cover the following configurations:
RAID-0 (striping, no parity)
RAID-1 (mirroring)
RAID-5 (striping with parity)
all, while looking at CPU performance during the tests.
Oh, and while 'hdparm' is nice and quick, something like 'dbench' yields (IMO) more interesting results.

I was looking for info on this board at Newegg.com and noticed that there have been a number of cases of this board not working with a variety of older boards. (read all reviews in the "Poor" rating category).
Upon review of the Promise datasheet:
It appears that this board conforms to the PCI 2.3 sepcification. I remember having heartburn with PCI 2.2 cards on PCI 2.1 motherboards, so this may be another round of the same type of issue, though I cannot say that with any authority.
Apparently the list of "compatible" mobos on the Promise site is limited.
Caveat emptor.
I've been running this board in a server for about a month now and it's been great. I did have a small problem recently where the computer wouldn't POST past the board's BIOS, but it turned out to be either heat or memory related (clearing CMOS and removing a stick of RAM allowed the server to boot - good enough for me ). I had the controller parked next to a video card, so that might have been causing some issues.
This is the one I've got:
01:0a.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40718 (SATA 300 TX4) (rev 02)
I bought it even though my motherboard wasn't on the supported list, but haven't had any issues with it. I'm running a 4x500GB RAID6 array and it gives me decent read performance (and confidence that I won't lose everything!):
Timing cached reads: 810 MB in 2.00 seconds = 404.73 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 314 MB in 3.02 seconds = 104.12 MB/sec
Just curious - what mobo are you using?
For others reporting their experience with this card, please report the make/model of your motherboard. Thanks!
Unfortunately I have to reverse engineer the mobo model/version from the command-line, as it's on a different floor and I'd have to open it up or reboot it.
I believe it's an ASUS A7N8X motherboard with an nforce2 chipset. I've had good luck with this motherboard - it replaced a crappy one that had trouble with AGP, then recently became the brains of a big RAID6 server.
BIOS Information
Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD
Version: ASUS A7N8X2.0 ACPI BIOS Rev 1007
Release Date: 10/06/2003
Address: 0xF0000
Runtime Size: 64 kB
ROM Size: 256 kB
The server has been running for about two weeks with no problems, with the exception of one day where I was getting an oops every 15-30 minutes. I removed a stick of RAM, moved the card to a different slot and reset the CMOS at the same time, so I don't know what the cause was. Whatever it was, it didn't happen for two weeks, and hasn't happened since (didn't replace the card).
It's survived > 100G of straight data writes, a full md rebuild, nightly md checks and heavy backup loads without any hiccups (except as noted above).

OK Big Problem... I bought this card and 2 addition 1TB HDs. But now I can not get them to work at ALL. I am trying to run ubuntu server intrepid. I have tried both the plug and play method (modprobe promise-sata) and building the kernel from promise raids website. When I try to build the module I get an error:
Makefile:57: *** Linux kernel source not configured - missing config.h. Stop.
And it doesn't build. can anyone help me with this. I would really like to get the 2TB hds connected to my machine. I am using a P4 MOBO, cant remember off the top of my head the exact one, but it is an MSI board. I am ready to go to windows and see if that works (even though I DO NOT want to do that). But I am getting a headache on this one.
any help would be great... I have tried to post at ubuntu but no one response. I would be happy if it just worked out of the box the way it says it should with the promist-sata module.
Anway thanks in advance.
OK I made it home... I have a MSI 865PE Neo2 ms-6728 Ver: 1 Motherboard.

The easiest thing to do is to use distro at version or later which is presented in article. This way you will not meet any troubles.
If you want to use your own distro make sure the distro is up to date, which means you installed distro from the most recent cd iso release. If kernel version in such distro is equal or greater the this one from article it should work.
If you want to boot from drive on this controller your promise sata driver must be compiled in kernel - not module. Or you have to put the promise module on initrd ram disk image. Some promise controllers are AHCI and use AHCI driver in Linux instead of promise module. The AHCI may need to be enabled in this promise bios.
Compiling recent official kernel from kernel.org usually resolves any hardware problem. But this is very hard to do task if Linux distribution is not source based (build from sources) like for example Gentoo, Lunar Linux or SGML. Ubuntu and other binary distributions for Desktops by default have no tools for building kernel. You have to install gcc, binutils, kernel headers, kernel devel packages. Then kernel compilation should be possible but not for sure - some required packages can be still missing.
I recently tried to build kernel on Red Hat and failed. Compilation broke. Before I tried Mandrake 10 with similar bad result. Now I use source based distro and compilation works out of the box.
Configuration of kernel requires much knowledge of Linux and devices.

You expect game developers new to Linux to make sense of all of this?What? Sorry, but low-latency server is JACK. Pulse is much more latent and high-latency & high perfomance vs low-latency vs low-perfomance are not related to Pulse. Its either faster reacting(but doing less work) and consuming more or slower reacting(and doing more work) and consuming less. Same reason why RT linux kernel is slower in server(ie constant load) environiment.
Pulse clicking is ubuntu issue.
If application uses a library to output the sound, gstreamer, sdl, openal, doesntmatter what. And this library is wrongly configured to output sound to ALSA. But Pulse is installed and alsa.conf points to pulse. This thing happens:
Some game>>libsdl>>alsa(reroutes to pulse)>>pulse>>alsa you hear clicky-noise
Where if that lib attaches itself to pulse correctly:
Some game>>libsdl>>pulse>>alsa
I have no clicks or anything with pulse. I also do not really care for ubuntu not doing their homework. Gentoo and PA perfect setup describes pretty much clearly how to link PA with libs, apps and soundsystems.
Didnt check on 70% issue, so I believe you. But again, not single desktop app working wrong with PA+Alsa up to date.
Athlon 3200 on NF-7S v2.0, VIA AC97 chip.
Intel E5300 on P43ME, VIA VT1708S
Athlon II x2 240 on ASUS M3N78-EM, Realtek ALC1200
Asus A6Rp notebook with some ATI chipset
Athlon II x4 630 on Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H 1.1, Realtek ALC889A
Not a single problem.
Of course this isnt major industrial-level testing and I cannot speak for PA as whole. However applications SHOULD use either libSDL or libopenAL or if they require more features gstreamer, xine or even managin whole sound pipeline themself by using alsa/oss and codecs/libs directly. This is however has issues. Because you required close-to-system calls, you should support it. Higher level libs do not offer the features which arent generic or cannot be emulated. But if you program this way, your app has pretty much in similar with DOS era. Writing your own drivers, mixer etc. You asked for it.
Of course there may be driver problems within ALSA. There may be problems within SDL and Pulse(especially in case I described above; just install SDL-pulse version only, not of all-in-one). But system is there, frameworks are there and they work!
Now dont tell me DirectX(Directsound, -music or however it is called now) is consequent and API and sound model was never changed
It did, devs pushed new versions, everything worked to some degree, then got broken again and again etc. I dont see how linux is "not ready" here. In fact linux is more ready than windows; you just put sound chip manufacturer publishing specs for new chips and game publishers updating their software(regardless foss or proprietary) and it works.

Home > Health Library > Well-Child Visits
It's important for your child to have regularly scheduled checkups, often called well-child visits, beginning shortly after birth and lasting through the teen years.
These appointments allow your doctor to keep a close eye on your child's general health and development. Finding possible problems early gives your child the best chance for proper and successful treatment. Also, any concerns you have about your child can be discussed during these visits.
During these visits, the doctor examines your child and asks you questions about your child's development and behavior. Immunizations also are either given or scheduled at this time.
Your child's doctor will recommend a schedule for well-child visits. One example is for visits at ages:1
After age 3, well-child visits are usually scheduled yearly through the teen years.

In real life, it hardly ever works to physically HIT your TV or computer when they're not working. But it works in movies all the time, usually for comedic effect.
There's a weird new montage online of movie and TV characters doing it, and it's set to music . . . so they rhythmically punch and kick their broken computers, TVs, and other gadgets to the beat of the song.

Love maths and think you've got what it takes to be a designer? The Further Mathematics Network and Rolls-Royce plc are inviting entries for a new UK national poster competition for undergraduate and PGCE mathematics students. The academic year 2007-8 is the first year that the competition has been run, and there
is a £100 prize awarded for the design of each winning poster — it is likely that two posters will be selected. The winning designs will be sent to schools and colleges around the UK, meaning that your poster may be exposed to tens of thousands of teachers, students and parents — the potential audience is over 2000 schools and colleges.

The eventful life of Lodovico FerrariLodovico Ferrari was an Italian mathematician famed for solving the quartic equation. Ferrari was born in 1522 in Bologna and at the age of 14 became the servant of Gerolamo Cardan, a celebrated Italian Renaissance mathematician, physician, astrologer and gambler. Ferrari showed mathematical promise at a young age, and at the age of 20 became a public lecturer in geometry. He was also a player in a great mathematical controversy of the time - who should get credit for the development of solutions for the cubic and quartic equations. The controversy includes another notable mathematician of his day, Nicolo Fontana Tartaglia. Tartaglia was an Italian mathematician who was the first to apply mathematics to the investigation of the paths of cannonballs. He had developed his own solutions to the cubic equations, and when Cardan heard of this achievement, nagged a reluctant Tartaglia to show him his work. He succeeded only when he challenged him to a debate and implied that through his influence he could arrange a potentially lucrative contact with the governor of Milan. Tartaglia agreed to tell Cardan his method if Cardan would swear never to reveal it and to only ever write it down in code so that even if he died, nobody would ever discover it. Cardan agreed to this, and Tartaglia enigmatically handed over his formula in the form of a poem. Several years later however, Cardan and Ferrari saw unpublished work by Scipione del Ferro who had independently devised the same solution as Tartaglia. This work was dated before the work of Tartaglia, and so they decided to break their promise and the include Tartaglia's solution in their published work. Based on Tartaglia's formula, Cardan and Ferrari found proofs for all cases of the cubic and, more impressively, solved the quartic equation - this was reportedly largely due to the work of Ferrari. Tartaglia then started a campaign of public abuse directed at Cardan and Ferrari, and whilst most of the insults washed off Cardan - who was now established as the world's leading mathematician - Ferrari wrote to Tartaglia challenging him to a public debate. Tartaglia however did not consider Ferrari as worthy of debate - it was Cardan he wanted. Ferrari and Tartaglia traded insults for over a year until 1548 when Tartaglia received an offer of a lectureship in Brescia. To establish his credentials for the post, he was asked to take part in the debate with Ferrari. Tartaglia was an experienced debater and expected to win. However, by the end of the first day, it was clear that things were not going his way and that Ferrari understood the cubic and quartic equations more thoroughly. Tartaglia decided to flee that night, with victory left to Ferrari. Ferrari's fame soared and he was inundated with offers of employment, including a request from the emperor. Ferrari was appointed tax assessor to the governor of Milan, and after transferring to the service of the church, retired as a young (aged 42) and rich man. He moved back to his home town of Bologna and in with his widowed sister Maddalena. He died in 1565 of white arsenic poisoning, most likely administered by Maddalena. Maddalena did not grieve at his funeral and having inherited his fortune, remarried two weeks later. Her new husband promptly left her with all her fortune and she died in poverty. For more information on cubic equations, see Plus articles Mathematical Mysteries: Trisecting the Angle, and Woman joins Adams Family.
