Not gonna lie, I had a question on a few of those whistles there at the end...
Why did we hang onto 2 timeouts with 40+ seconds left when Fred is very good at setting up plays out of timeouts? EDIT: BTW This isn't me saying Fred is a terrible coach I was just confused?
Cyclone Sports: The next best thing since MOTHER'S MILK!
**** it. On to Baylor *******.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
We just played a really stupid last 1:25. Ejim particularly just letting Forte take the ball from him as he stands straight up and down and then fouling him instead of forcing him into a very tough shot. Then Clyburn instead of actually helping double Smart on his game winner just passed him off to Niang and watched the rest of the play. Can't win on the road until we clear up plays like these.
What a circus. I saw NC State play last night and man do I miss Bobby Lutz. He has his way with the refs.
I hate losing. That is all. 'night folks.
bull **** i'm ******* ****** that's all i got right now
I would like to hear from the Babb haters that think he needs to come off the bench.
I think all that needs to be said is WTF just happened?
Late game heroics again but I still liked the way the team played for about 38 minutes. A lot better than last week. Travis Ford is a complete ******.
think these "refs" had a rough day of work at Footlocker earlier today and were taking it out on the Cyclones
Seems like I've watched that game a hundred times over the last 20 years.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not dude? Follow me unplugged on twitter @fatkid1974
Refs did everything they could to win the game for OSU. OSU is going to **** their pants when they come to Ames.
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
We are terrible at late game situations, but its hard to be good when you're getting ****ed by the refs.
refs have sucked all year. ******. just took 2 shots of whiskey and now my wife is mad. AHHH i hate this sometimes

Melancholy Too
When my grandparents first bought the little neighborhood bakery, before it expanded to become a "baking company", there was a small apartment above the bakery. That's where they lived initially and where my mother was born. Mom was their second child and after she came along things got a little crowded in the apartment. So when a small house went up for sale kitty-corner (southwest) and one house (to the south) down from the bakery (and directly across from Sill School) they bought it. That would have been late 1918 or some time in 1919. This is the vacant property where that house once stood.
Then, in 1920, my grandparents sponsored two of my grandmother's sisters, Mary and Helen, to come to America from Poland. The little house was a tight fit for everyone and when my grandmother got pregnant again, well, it very quickly became too small. So at that point my grandparents bought a bigger house that came up for sale on the same street as the bakery just a few houses north of it. The two sisters stayed in the smaller house and my grandparents and the kids moved to the bigger house in 1921. Mary married in 1922 and moved a few blocks away. Helen married in 1924 and she and her husband lived in that little house for several hears. If I close my eyes and try really hard I can picture Helen and her children there in that house...
The larger house that my grandparents moved to wasn't all that large but it did have a second story and was big enough for the family of five. This is the house I remember visiting my grandmother at when I was a child. Here is the vacant property where that house once stood, between the garbage cans to the right of the house that's still standing...
If I close my eyes and try really hard I can picture the house and the family sitting out on the porch on a warm Sunday afternoon...
My mom went to Sill School for kindergarten. It was the Detroit Public School just across the street (to the south) from the bakery and (to the east) from my grandparent's first house. It's a large vacant lot now with a small playground on it.
But I can remember the school in all it's glory!
After kindergarten my mom attended Assumption parish school for grades 1-8. Assumption BVM Church, on Lovett Street, was the church the family attended. Mom had lots of happy memories from her years at Assumption. After she graduated from high school she sang in the choir at Assumption and was in their Young Ladies Sodality too. She was married at Assumption in 1944. My grandfather's funeral Mass was at Assumption in 1956 and so was my Grandmother's in 1970. The Archdiocese of Detroit closed Assumption parish in 1989. The church, school, rectory, and nun's residence have since been torn down. There is a new church standing there now, a Baptist church...
The heartbeat of their old west side Detroit Polish neighborhood was Assumption Church (parish founded in 1911, church/school built in 1912). It was a much larger and grander building than the Baptist church, and the other parish buildings were right next door. If I close my eyes and try really hard I can imagine it in its glory days...
Oh how it pains me to see this once lovely neighborhood in such decrepit, shabby condition. I can't go down there very often for that reason. The sadness overwhelms me and sometimes makes me angry. I know that things can't always stay the same but when I think of the churches and villages in Europe that were built centuries ago and are still standing I know that this neighborhood could still be charming and vital too. It hasn't even been a hundred years since my grandparents first came to America! Heck, the city of Detroit is just over 300 years old!
All these other sites in my grandparent's neighborhood make me melancholy too.

I didn't get a chance to comment on your previous post. I had heard that Detroit was in a sorry state, but seeing your photos told me just how bad it is there. It is sad.
I LOVE what you did with the superimposed photos in this piece! You need to write a post on your technique used to do that!
What's Past is PrologueYou make me realize how lucky I am that both of the homes and neighborhoods that my father lived in as a child remain essentially unchanged. I haven't photographed one of them because I feel funny taking pictures of other peoples homes but I should! It was sad visiting the empty lot where so much Carlisle family history happened. The church where I was baptized is still standing - just. It is in a neighborhood that has declined steadily over the years. I should stop and take a picture while I still can.
I'm sorry so many places so important to your family's history are gone! But happy that you can still picture them in their original glory.It is incredibly sad and such a shame that we can't even drive through the old neighborhoods anymore. Only one of the houses where my grandparents lived is standing but all the others are fields of weeds. The super-imposed pictures add to the ghost like feeling that one gets driving through a once thriving city.
ReplyDelete"Melancholy" and "Melancholy Too" really struck a chord for me. The photo collages are just stunning and perfectly capture that tantalizing feeling of trying to reconstruct lost landscapes. Many of my family's former addresses in Brooklyn and Troy, NY are no more -- I think they had a real talent for settling on future interstate on-ramps :)
ReplyDeleteJasia, I think you've done a great job of speaking for those of us who have Detroit roots. I'm betting everyone who sees your photo story gets the same sick feeling in the pit of their stomach that I get. I'd like to go look at some of my ancestors' addresses while I'm living in this area but... not alone!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job superimposing your original photos on top of your vacant lots! I have been dabbling in this as well, but most of my recent pics have come from google maps because I have not been able to visit my hometown recently.
I can't believe they tore down Assumption! That looked like a beautiful place!

ZoopathTennesseeGood But Nonwoven Strips Are BetterThese worked okay but I've switched to nonwoven waxing strips that you can find on amazon. The wax doesn't seep through with nonwoven strips.posted Feb 2, 2011Link to this post
GiselleGreat !!I use these all the time and im no prefessional. I use it for face and bikini. Best waxes ever. For people who are new to it, Make sure you spread the wax in the desired area and press the strip on it and pull hard and fast. I have all of my friends saying that the wax always gets threw the strip and its because they might be over doing the wax in one area. I hope this helps.posted Apr 27, 2010Link to this post
JulaRedmond, WAStrips Are Heavy DutyIf you are looking for a great waxing strip this is it. Along with the One Touch Personal Wax System these strips work really well. I thought I ordered the 50 yard roll but the 100 pack of strips arrived. I love the pre-cut strips and will order them again, but not for a while since I ordered 2 packs! They go a long way.posted Jul 18, 2007Link to this post
Diana DibbleWestbury NYStrip SearchThe strips do the job, I do like having 100 so I know I wont run out for a while. I do feel like the fabric is a little thick, and I feel I do not get as much use as I should out of each strip, and the wax seeps through easily making it slightly messy. I would purchase them again, however I may still be on the search for something better.posted Apr 26, 2007Link to this post

Click here to access full coverage of DLA Piper in The Lawyer UK 200 2014. Featuring the UK's leading law firms ranked by turnover, as well as extensive benchmarking data, the report is a comprehensive market intelligence resource for the UK legal sector.
Click here to access full coverage of DLA Piper in The Lawyer Asia Pacific 150 2014. The report is an essential business intelligence resource for anyone interested in Asia-Pacific's growing legal services market.
With 4,200 lawyers located in more than 30 countries throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, DLA Piper is one of the world's largest law firms.
It has been a successful year for the firm, being ranked as the biggest law firm in the world on a number of global league tables, including The Lawyer's UK 200. DLA Piper hit the top of the table for the first time in 2011 following The Lawyer's decision to take into account the global turnover of all firms, regardless of how profit was shared across offices.
Global co-CEO Sir Nigel Knowles put the growth in global turnover down to the firm's global nature, allowing certain international businesses to instruct DLA Piper across all practice areas and locations.
In terms of the breakdown of revenue across the firm, litigation and regulation and the corporate practice together brought in more than half of the global revenue last year. Corporate contributed exactly a quarter of income in the UK and was just one percentage point lower globally, while litigation and regulation chipped in 37 and 38 per cent of turnover in the UK and globally respectively.
The intellectual property and technology, employment and restructuring practices are not to be underestimated, together coming in as the third biggest income generator at 14 per cent of turnover globally and in the UK. The rest splits equally between the finance and projects practice and property, which both turn over 12 per cent each.
DLA Piper was one of the first law firms to make its way into the South Korean capital. Seoul joins the ranks of existing DLA Piper Asia outposts in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and Singapore.
DLA Piper's regional strategy is to promote and be led by a strong corporate and finance offering, aligned with the litigation and regulatory practice. Supporting those key prongs are employment, intellectual property and technology, real estate, restructuring and tax.

Gallery: BIG's West 57th Pyramid is a Cross Between a Copenhagen Courty...
The residential tower is a combination of a traditional NYC skyscraper on a podium with a European-style courtyard building.
Last week, the Bjarke Ingel Group (BIG) celebrated the opening of its new office in the Starrett-Lehigh Building at 601 West 26th Street. Sharing digs with the likes of Martha Stewart Omnimedia, BIG is now settled in and working hard on their North American projects, most notably the West 57th residential project for Durst Fetner Residential, which specializes in high-profile New York real estate. Last February, BIG unveiled plans for the unconventional high-rise apartment building and spent some time answering questions at a community board meeting. Overall, the reaction was positive, although the community board had concerns over what kind of retail would be allowed with preferences towards local and smaller businesses. The board also requested more green spaces be open to the public.
The 600-unit complex, which will include a number of affordable housing units, is expected to create an important bridge between the neighborhood and the waterfront. Retail, businesses, a cultural space, and a grocery store will line the storefronts of the bottom floor, and then residential apartments will rise up and back away from the waterfront. This pyramid-like volume was specifically designed for the site to protect the residences against a neighboring garbage dump truck garage, preserve views from surrounding buildings, but still give the new residences access to views and daylighting. Each apartment enjoys a south-facing terrace and access to the large private courtyard in the center. Although now an empty lot, the residential rental tower is expected to begin construction sometime in 2012 with an completion date in 2015.

Most of the teen girls we shoot haven't had much experience in front of the camera, so they're usually pretty nervous, but when Vanessa Cage told us about her 'on camera experience', we knew she was going to be fine. Vanessa used to shoot sexy videos with her cell phone camera and send them to her boyfriend. Vanessa in the shower. Vanessa sucking his dick POV style. All home made. Well somehow one of her blowjob videos got passed around her entire school. After that, she figured she might as well pack it up and come to California to do some real porn movies. Enjoy this 18 year old cutie and porn industry newbie!

"I Wanna Be Loved By You" I think it suits him pretty well.
"I Wanna Be Loved By You" I think it suits him pretty well.
If he didn't use Moby Dick for competition, it would make for a pretty sick gala program for him! We did a tap routine to it years and years ago at a workshop and it was the coolest thing, it's SO not a tap song...but then it easily is. I can just see his feet going crazy with this.
I want to see a funny program , not some depressing stuff to depressing music.
A funny program and his rolling eyes will bring him a lot of 10s in PCS.

I was going to save this for the inevitable "What should Patrick Chan skate to at the Olympics?" thread, but here it is:
Short Program: Cohen's Scherzo No. 7 - Bioshock Soundtrack (2:55, so it doesn't need to be edited much)
Long Program: Time - Hans Zimmer - Inception Soundtrack (4:36, so also doesn't need much editing)
Something different we hope..... but from Nicol probably not I got a feeling:
SP Summertime
LP Schereazade (again)
I've always wondered how it would be like when a male skater skates to Bells of Moscow. And now I think he would be able to do that, conveying its depth.
LOL... considering Patrick's popularity in Russia, I'd thought they'd rather hide their bells and not letting him anywhere near it. Although I am certainly for it, just out of morbid interest ;P
I like the idea of comedy performances, it very risky but rewarding but may be difficult. Comedy is hard to do. Problem is the jarring effect, he has always done serious classic stuff, does Patrick have the personality and charisma to carry it off for the audience to warm up to him effortlessly? I got the feeling these days watching him, half of the audience are holding their breath hoping he'd fall multiple times so they can go complaining about it, the other half of of them are hoping he wouldn't fall, so no one can go and complain about it (The judges probably belong to the latter). So he need a strong transitional program with a powerful enough theme - a 'King Maker' sort of program to reign everyone in line acknowledging his greatness, before experimenting the maestro jester stuff, at the moment seems to have reserved for Amodio, and maybe Daisuke if he ever feels like it, that guy can make anything work. Although Patrick tries in his Mannish Boy gala program, it still feels a bit awkward imo because we are not used to seeing him that way. Ofcourse I could be wrong, I mean even Lambiel went through that Red Cat phase experimenting with comedy, Plushenko Sex Bomb, but that is a bit extreme. "I wanna be loved by you" Patrick in drag? Booo-Boop-a-doop?

My evil twin is posting today
If Patrick really has a sense of humor he will skate to this song, perhaps for the exhibition:
I think it actually has been used in skating before, I think by John Baldwin Jr. before he got into pairs.
In seriousness, I don't think humor is his forte. I'd like to see him develop this year's new exhibition number into an LP. That's a gorgeous exhibition.
I suppose I am, but it is no different than how'd I react upon hearing Plushenko doing 'Stars spangles', or 'California dreamin' for program or ex ;P
Suggestion to Patrick, if you really want to go after Chinese deep pockets for financial support and security, consider this piece of music as one of your next year's Ex in China although it is famous all over Asia including Japan and Korea. Then prepare to get ready for full on Daisuke level of Aunty fanmania! And maybe you too can get Dior gift bags in the future
(Or see if you can find a different arrangement, since nothing can touch the original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiFm7AWP9n4)

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

SUBJECT: Warrington Reaches Milestone While Hits and Runs Abound in Wilmington Softball Sweep at Bowie State
In its first games north of Clermont, Fla., the Wilmington University softball team had little problem heating up the bats as it swept a doubleheader from Bowie State, 13-2 and 22-0, in nonconference action at Lady Bulldogs Field on Thursday afternoon.
Wilmington evened its overall record at 11-11 with the doubleheader sweep and now head into Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference play with a two-game winning streak and a mound of momentum. The Wildcats smashed 17 hits in game one and added 15 more in game two, scoring the most runs in a single game since tallying 42 and 26 in a doubleheader against Lincoln University on April 4, 2009.
Nine different hitters recorded a hit in the first game, led by freshman Brook Ash and seniors Christin Headley and Meghan Logullo who each collected three hits. Logullo went 3-for-3 while Ash and Headley each went 3-for-4. Ash finished with a game high three RBI's while also scoring a game high three runs. Headley added two RBI's and also scored a run.
The Wildcats were relentless in their attack, putting at least one run on the board in the each of the first four innings. After falling behind 2-1 with two unearned runs in the bottom of the first, the bats came alive to score four runs in the top of the second and tacked on seven runs in the third inning. The team added the 13th run in the top of the fourth to round out the scoring.
Ash produced what would become the game-winning RBI's in the second inning, hitting a two-run single to break a 2-2 tie. Headley followed with a triple into right center, making it 5-2 game early on.
Six different batters produced RBI hits in the seven run third inning, breaking the game wide open for starting pitcher Chelsea Botsch to close the door.
Botsch improved to 3-4 on the season by throwing all five innings, allowing six hits while striking out seven batters. Both of the runs she allowed were unearned.
Before even stepping onto the mound in the second game, Wildcat ace Katie Warrington was spotted a 15 run lead. The offense put 15 runs on the board on five hits in the inning, while being aided by 10 walks by the Bulldogs pitchers. Wilmington added a solo run in the second inning before posting four more in the third and another pair in the fourth before the game was called.
After walking the first batter in the bottom of the first inning, Warrington struck out the side in each of the three innings she appeared. The third strikeout in the second inning was not only her sixth of the game, but the 500th of her Wilmington career, becoming only the second player in program history to break the 500 barrier. She is now only five strikeouts away from breaking Kim Lawrence's program record of 508 set from 2007-10. Warrington has 503 from 2011-13.
Again nine batters recorded at least one hit in game two for the Wildcats, led by 3-for-4 performances from Headley and Rachel Painter. Headley knocked in three runs while scoring three runs, but it was Painter's six RBI's that led the team. Rice Fazio went 2-for-2 in game two while Jillian Stafford went 2-for-3 with four runs scored.
The competition will likely stiffen this weekend for the Wildcats' home opener they host CACC rival Caldwell on Saturday for a doubleheader. Wilmington was selected to finished third in the CACC Preseason Poll, but trailed Caldwell who was voted second. The first pitch of game one is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Asbury Field.

The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill.

But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

DLIFLC students compete in Korean speech contest
MONTEREY, Calif. - More than 400 students crammed into the Tin Barn Auditorium to cheer for their language gladiators during this year's Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center 10th Annual Korean Speech Contest, June 22.
Thirteen competitors recited speeches with topics ranging from educational differences between U.S. and Korean schools to food choices in Korea. To qualify to represent their section, students were required to go through a preliminary round within their class, and then compete against others in their department.
U.S. Army Spc. Brad Baughman, who won the Korean Consulate General's Special Award, seemed to have the audience in an uproar of laughter throughout most of his speech, which was about his experiences teaching Korean to kindergarten students while living in Korea.
According to Baughman, the Korean program and in-course exercises, like the speech contest, have given him insight into the minds of Koreans.
"Because our instructors are Korean-natives, they're not only teaching us the language, but we're learning about the way they think," said Baughman.
According to DLIFLC Provost Dr. Donald Fischer, the Korean speech contest is a testament to the dedication of the Korean school. "I'm amazed at the speaking competence of the students competing today," Fischer said.
Fischer also joked about the mentality of the Korean school and how its students survive the 64-week course that is widely considered the toughest academic challenge these students will ever face.
"Despite having sunken-in eyes and (being in a state of) abject terror while walking around campus, Korean students have the best senses of humor, make the best videos and have the greatest speeches," Fischer said.
The school's leadership paused at the beginning of the speech contest to remember the 62nd anniversary of the Korean War and to explain the reasons for the contest.
"Korean is one of the most difficult languages to master, and that is why we like to show off the students' hard work," said dean of the Korean School, Clive Roberts.
"The Korean school is setting a great example for other schools that don't do this [contest]. Events like this make me proud to be the Commandant of the Defense Language Institute," said DLIFLC Commandant Col. Danial Pick.
According to Airman 1st Class Garrett Myler, his speech took him out of his comfort zone in more ways than just academically. "I was pretty nervous but it was a great opportunity … I sing pretty often, but never on stage or in front of this many people," said Myler, who sang "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes" in Korean.

Bandon Landscaping Project
Landscaping my Bandon Oregon new home on a shoestring (retired) budget. Besides store bought plants we have also added free beachy stuff and since we live in a coastal town we have added coastal themes throughout the garden. We have added a small fence to keep in our small dog,the fence surrounds the whole property. I do not care to do another fence,NEVER! Now that we have completed the front yard we will move to the back yard that will be a walking path through a heavy coastal vegetated garden and a small lawn. 7/2009 I have updated the photos, just showing the beginning and one year later.

Notice of Changes in Temporary NCUA Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts
Beginning on January 1, 2013, NCUA will no longer insure noninterest –bearing transaction accounts in excess of the standard $250,000 share insurance amount.
The Dodd-Frank Act included a temporary provision for unlimited federal share insurance on all amounts held in noninterest bearing transaction accounts (such as share draft accounts) in federally insured credit unions.
Federally insured credit union members will continue to have unlimited coverage on noninterest bearing transaction accounts until the end of 2012. This unlimited coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the coverage provided members on all other accounts held at the same federally insured credit union. For more information on Temporary NCUA insurance coverage of transactions accounts, visit www.ncua.gov.
Effective October 1, 2012 – Changes to ATM/debit card fees
Effective October 1, 2012, the following applies to out-of-network ATM usage:
One (1) out-of-network ATM transaction per month = no charge*
Two (2) or more out-of-network ATM transactions per month = $2 each*
Point-of-sale = varies (imposed by merchant at time of sale)
The Alliance ATM network of over 60,000 surcharge-free ATMs includes the CO-OP Network®, Allpoint Network® and MoneyPass® ATMs.

to learn more.
Please contact us at 800.232.8669 with any questions.
*Additional charges may be assessed by out-of-network ATM providers.
Notice of Change in Funds Availability Policy
As of July 21, 2011 the first $200 (not $100) of the aggregate of any deposits via "other" checks will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit.
"Other" checks are checks other than those issued by the federal, state, or local government and payable to the member, or checks drawn on the credit union. As of March 2010 all checks are centrally processed by the Federal Reserve. There is no longer a distinction between local and nonlocal checks, which are now grouped under the "other" checks.
Notice of Changes in Temporary NCUA Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts
All funds in a ''noninterest-bearing transaction account'' are insured in full by the National Credit Union Administration through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to members under the NCUA's general share insurance rules. The term ''noninterest-bearing transaction account'' includes a traditional share draft account (or demand deposit account) on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend. It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends, a negotiable order of withdrawal (''NOW'') account, money market deposit account, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (''IOLTA''), even if share drafts may be drawn on the account. For more information about temporary NCUA insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.ncua.gov.
Effective August 1, 2011 – Changes to ATM/debit card fees
Effective August 1, 2011, the following applies to out-of-network ATM usage:
One (1) out-of-network ATM transaction per month = no charge*
Two (2) or more out-of-network ATM transactions per month = $2 each*

Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
In accordance with the requirements of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) and Regulation GG, this notification is to inform you that unlawful Internet gambling transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account or relationship with our institution and are restricted. Restricted transactions are transactions in which a person accepts credit, funds, instruments or other proceeds from another person in connection with unlawful Internet gambling.
Under UIGEA, the term "unlawful internet gambling" means "to place, receive, or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received or otherwise made."
In other words, UIGEA relies on State and Federal law to determine what's illegal under the statute. Online state lotteries, horse racing and fantasy football are not considered illegal under the statute.

Hello Jawad
Here's a quote of what you had to say last week when I asked you about Uncharted 2 (digital) issue:
"I haven't heard anything else on this but I'll see what I can find out, if anything."
If anything you say? I am deeply hurt Jawad. Is that it? we're just gonna accept the fact that this game we purchased is broken and no one cares to fix it?
It's been 4 months already since we reported this and the game is still being sold in the store as if nothing is wrong.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Jawad, put an end to this. I no longer have patience to talk about it anymore.
Thank you

I have a system that serves roaming profiles through samba. The highest load this system faces is when people start leaving the office at 4pm and everybody starts sync-ing. It still works on a cheap and old hardware. X3220 and raid-1 array on mdadm and WD WD1002FBYS HDDs (SATA, 3,5 inch, 1TB, 7200 rpm, 32 mb cache). Single 1Gbit connection. The bottlenecks are: 1. the net, 2. the HDDs. The windows profile syncing are basically random RW operations from a few dozens of processes running at max network speed.
Now I have a new rig for the system. R610 dell with multiple 1GBit interfaces that can be trunked and H700 hardware raid. I'm wondering what to get into the hard drive 2,5 bays. I need at least 2 TB of space. Users will be happier with bigger quotas....
I have following options:
* 6 pcs. of 5400 rpm 1TB 2,5 inch SATA hdds to get into RAID-5
* 4 pcs. of 7200 rpm 1TB 2,5 inch SATA hdds to get into RAID-5 (there still is one model available out there...)
* what random RW speed differences to expect?
* is abandoning RAID-1 on mdadm in favour of H700 HW RAID-5 is a good idea to get bigger random RW speeds?
* if I'll use 2-4 network interfaces, will changing hdds bring any difference in reducing windows profile syncing speeds?

Share a Reflection
Every time I look in the mirror the "darkness" (or aging) is visible to me and I am not sure how to deal. Can't say that I am connecting, just running away hoping to stay one step ahead.
Matthew's story has inspired me to take a look at how to embrace my aging and the pain I experience from that and fibromyalgia. I have felt pretty lost lately, but want to learn to find the joy in everyday experiences. It is cliche to say that we only have one life, but how true, and I do want to make it the best.
I was enthralled by your story about Matthew Sanford. I went to school with a young man who studied, and then taught, karate. When he was 28 years old, he had a diving accident that left him a quadraplegic. He continues to teach karate at a schoolin Connecticut that he started with his wife. The last time I saw him, several years ago, we talked, and he said some of the same things I heard Mr. Sanford saying, about the mind and the body. I have provided a link to a three year old story in a local newspaper about Bob. http://www.norwichbulletin.com/living/x224443973man
Hi Alison, do you know this
That is a great question.....
That is a great question..... I would like to know as well. Thanks in advacne for the answer...
I had been practicing yoga for about a year when my mom was diagnosed with Alzhiemer's. My life became conusmed with caring for her and taking over the rumming of her life. At the time I probably needed yoga the most I dropped it from my life. Two weeks after my mom passed away I walked back into the yoga studio and back to my teacher who is amazing. I will never forget the first pose of surrender and the unlocking of the pain and tears that my body held. As the strong one in my family I had used my will and strength to take care of everything. In this quiet space, where my mind and body could be together in darkness, silence and surrender...I began the process of healing.
There are many silent spaces in my life. In 2003 I had a reaction to an antibiotic that were grand mal seizures. I had never had a grand mal seizure before in my life.
the seizures seperated and literally destoyed my humerous bone and part of my right arm. It took a long time to find a surgeon. At that time I lived in Virginia. Eventually, one was found and a "successful" surgery took place. But, my arm was always in pain, the ma=etal never felt right. It hurt and m body was teling me something. Two years ago I underwent surgery at Mayo Clinic and massive infection was found and the metal was removed. The surgeon was surprised that I was able to tolerate such pain fro so long. I guess our bodiies adapt. I am right handed and our bodies do adapt but, the pain is back and I wonder what my body is saying now. Silent
I did much yoga in College and I miss it. I know that adaptive yoga exists and adaptive Tai Chi as well. Listening to Matthew Sanford's program was motivating but, I never made it out the door. There seem to be too many inhibitions or something standing in the way, perhaps ...Silent Space.
The darkness is part of a daily routine but light does come through with each day. the sun manages to overcome it with insightful words of wisdom and reading, my writing and holding on to hope in any tangible and intangible way that I can. some days are easier than others. I have learned to take it some days one day at time some days one second at a time. If that is what gets me through then so be it. I have made a concerted effort to stay focused in a prayer life even if it is a private one. I have also learned that the darkness that I have so much feared for so long is a part of me, a part of this culture, the world and have come to accept and even embrace it.
Anne Scherer
A friend told me about Matthew Sanford's book and interview with Krista Tippet. The conversation and ideas described so poetically by Mr Sanford, in tandem with Ms Tippet's attunement to the subtler aspects of his experiences and sense of presence move me greatly.Her questions guide their conversation in a seemingly effortless way. They help reveal the depth of his work and spirit . Mr Sanford's reflections on surrender, healing and the power of breath are reflected in a poem I wrote in recent years while recovering from various injuries. I share it below.
For All of the Healers
I Listen
I listen for your breath.
The sound of your breathing, like sonar,
so that I may locate you from behind closed eyes.
You hold my heart
and the wild beating slows,
the throbbing at my temples melts.
You hold my heart, silent, steady. I become
the sea becalmed at low tide, glassy still.
Awash with release, the horizon endless.
And still
I listen for your breath.

Sown in Tears Reaped in Joy/ Poems and Images

I feel like one of the most important things I took away from this broadcast was something that Matthew Sanford had repeated a few times. He doesn't consider his experience "uncommon" just "more extreme." In experiencing the car accident at 13 which caused him to become a parapalegic he was thrust into a new life that called for a greater sense of awareness.
I have a friend who was abused as a child and later suffered a spinal cord injury as a young adult. We have often talked about how other people comment on "how strong" she is to have gotten through those traumas and how much it really has nothing to do with how strong one particular person is, but rather the ability to adapt. Developing this different awareness that Matthew Stanford seems to talk about seems to be the key to having a healthy attitude about yourself, your ability, and your peace.
What was most refreshing in this interview was how easily Sanford was able to relate his traumatic experience with those of us who have not had such traumatic experiences, but simply experience aging. He spoke of learning to listen to his body and accept the body it had become now looking at the strength and ability it still had to offer through quieter sensations than what he experienced when he was younger. It seems like we waste a lot of time worrying about what we have lost as we age which just leads to frustration and discontent. Sanford mentioned being patient a couple times. I think patience is a very difficult attribute to achieve, but usually has the best reward. As Matthew Sanford shows, having the patience to allow your body to speak to and connect with your mind instead of fighting against each other, opens the door to a wholeness filled with peace, pride, and possibility.
What Matthew has learned I too have learned, except that I have not had the trauma he has had. Therefore it took me 64 years to arrive at the same point. The mind and the body connection, the aging process, the peace that comes with the knowledge that the body changes constantly over your lifetime and the acceptance of it. Matthew can put it into words so succinctly. I have felt it without being aware of it. Thank you, Matthew.
I'm blind and Matthew's commentary on inner silence, light, darkness, life, death & (dis)ability pointed me to these words of Sufi Saint, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen:
O Man!
You think that you can come to know
the nature of all things found everywhere
solely through your investigation.
There is however
a Truth that governs such knowing.
That Truth is as follows:
The State of Silence will be invaluable to you.
Let the Form of Divine Luminous Wisdom grow
from within that Inner Silence.
Realize yourself as the Consciousness
within the Form of that Divine Luminous Wisdom.
It will appear as One.
That Form is That.
And That is You.
That State is One.
It is That which resplends everywhere
as the All-Pervading Radiant Effulgence.
That is not contained
within the divisiveness of religions.
It is beyond the beyond.
It is Silence in the Form of Consciousness.
This State is extremely rare.
One who has realized this State is also rare.
M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
From The Resonance of Allah
I was very moved to hear the story of Matthew Sanford. Recently I met a young woman with a wonderful aura who was in much the same situation as him. She 'ran' in her racing wheelchair in the Boston Marathon raising money for others. It was an extraordinary accomplishment. Such people show us walkers what the human spirit can accomplish. Thank you for introducing us to all the interesting people that you bring on your program.
i was disconnected from my body from emotional trauma as a child. i was physically active, i dabbled in tai chi/qui gong, but was not disciplined. i started biking after cancer & chemotherapy at 55. i loved it and continue to do strenuous rides at 75 I do pilates regularly for cross training. matthew Sanford's attitude, quick mind and generous spirit are infectious. i'm going to share his interview with friends who are disabled/challenged---as we all are to maintain a commitment to our physical well being. matthew is a hero! krista's interview is a 'keeper' as always.
Matthew is an amazing man! What an awesome teacher he has become. Reading his book, I realized I am not connected to my body. I am stuck in my mind as a 15 year old girl - even though nothing as tragic happened to me. (I'm 44 now.) Also, Matthew made me want to learn how to do yoga. My husband and I delivered stillborn twins in 2004. I felt my heart go out to him and his wife when they lost their son, William, and delivered their son Paul. How he wrote about losing William was beautiful. I wish only the best for Matthew and his family.
