LCRA manages lakes Travis and Buchanan under a state-approved Water Management Plan.
LCRA is in the process of updating the most recent plan, which was approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in 2010.
LCRA submitted an
application to amend the current plan in 2012. In May 2014, TCEQ recommended LCRA consider further changes to its 2012 application.
In August 2014, the LCRA Board of Directors adopted a framework for revising the plan based on TCEQ's recommendations. After a series of meetings with stakeholders representing interests throughout the basin, the LCRA Board accepted staff-proposed revisions on Sept. 17, 2014. LCRA submitted an
amended and restated application to TCEQ on Oct. 31, 2014.
The 2014 application will allow LCRA to adapt its operations more quickly as drought conditions change. A primary goal of the revisions is to maintain combined storage in lakes Travis and Buchanan above 600,000 acre-feet through a repeat of historic hydrology. The revisions also establish three sets of operating conditions used to determine the amount of interruptible water available for agriculture and environmental flows.
Water Management Plan background
LCRA's Water Management Plan is the only one of its kind in the state. It is required by a 1988 court order that determined water rights for the Highland Lakes and the lower Colorado River basin. The state approved the first Water Management Plan in 1989. Updates were approved in 1991, 1992, 1999 and 2010. TCEQ approved the current version of the Water Management Plan on Jan. 27, 2010.
The Water Management Plan governs LCRA's operation of the Highland Lakes to meet the needs of major water users throughout the lower Colorado River basin.
During drought, the plan requires the curtailment or cutback of interruptible stored water from the Highland Lakes for downstream agriculture so that firm water supplies will be available for the basic needs of cities, businesses and industries. The plan also prescribes how LCRA must provide water from the lakes to help meet the environmental needs of the lower Colorado River and Matagorda Bay at various trigger points.
Almost immediately after TCEQ approved the Water Management in 2010, LCRA began the process of updating it.

Watch the discussion and vote on changes to the Water Management Plan at the Sept. 17, 2014, meeting of the LCRA Board of Directors.
Watch the discussion andstaff presentation on changes to the Water Management Plan at the Sept. 17, 2014, meeting of the LCRA Water Operations Committee.
Until TCEQ approves amendments to the Water Management Plan, LCRA's Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) can be found in Chapter 4 of LCRA's Water Management Plan (WMP). In November 2013, the LCRA Board adopted a
temporary amendment to the DCP to help address the severe drought. The amendment required firm customers such as cities to implement maximum once-a-week watering schedules. Once the amended WMP is approved by the TCEQ, LCRA will develop conforming, stand-alone Drought Contingency Plans for its customers consistent with TCEQ's rules (including those related to public input) and the revised WMP.

State tax revenues fall below projections
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana's tax revenues fell below projections in May but the decreases were expected after big gains in April due in large part to the speed at which the Indiana Department of Revenue had been processing individual income tax returns.
State Budget Director Adam Horst said tax revenues are on track to meet projections released in December and are ahead of the estimates used to craft the current, $28 billion two-year state budget. The fiscal year ends June 30.
During the first 11 months of the fiscal year, state tax revenues have increased 6.3 percent compared to the same period last year. Current projections called for increases of 6 percent.
Although tax collections are generally on target, state agencies are on track to spend less than appropriated by the General Assembly, Horst said. That means the state will likely finish the year by building on its existing surplus.
Gov. Mitch Daniels expects to use that surplus to provide refunds to Hoosiers. Those could be as much as $65 per taxpayer.

Special Correspondent
Chennai: Last season's finalist Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would prove an even stronger side in the IPL this year, said N. Srinivasan, the Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of India Cements — the franchise owner of CSK — at the official press conference of the team here on Monday.
"We missed winning the IPL by a whisker in the last edition and our aim is to win the title this year. We are focussed on this," said Mr. Srinivasan.
He added the coming in of influential all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and the presence of several multi-dimensional cricketers such as Albie Morkel and Jacob Oram would add great depth and value to the side.
Mr. Srinivasan expected the IPL to be a success. "The fact that the tickets for the opening games in Cape Town have been sold out tells us about the interest the tournament has generated. Cricket South Africa has gone out of its way to support the IPL," he said.
Asked about batting legend Sunil Gavaskar's criticism of Kolkata Knight Riders' coach John Buchannan, Mr. Srinivasan replied, "I think Shah Rukh Khan has answered."
Stephen Fleming, CSK's player-cum-coach, lavished praise on Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
"He's an outstanding captain and leader. While there has been a lot of focus on his attributes as a skipper, sometimes we forget how hard it is for him to keep wickets and remain a key batsman while doing the top job. His contribution as a player is second to none. He leads by example. And he has the respect of the cricketing community."
Grooming youngsters
The IPL, he said, enabled young cricketers to handle pressure situations in an atmosphere similar to that of international cricket earlier than they would have otherwise done.
On Buchannan's multi-captaincy theory, Fleming opined, "He (Buchannan) is someone who has always challenged the way the game is being played. It should be interesting."
V.B. Chandrasekar, who heads CSK's cricketing operations, introduced the side's cricketers — available for the occasion — to the media.
A book — The days gone by: Glimpses of India's Test cricket journey, 1932-2007 — written by P. Ramchander was released on the occasion.

How to avoid timeshare schemes
Questions to ask timeshare-services firms
--Are you licensed by the Department of Real Estate? If not, why not? If so, what is your license number? Visit dre.ca.gov to verify the number and check for any disciplinary actions. If the person is a licensed salesperson, make sure he works for a real estate broker.
--How many timeshare transactions have you conducted?
--May I get a list of past timeshare customers who are satisfied with your work? If so, may I contact them?
--What will you do to market and sell my timeshare? Be sure to get the agreement in writing and get copies.
--How long have you been around and where are you based? You can check businesses at the secretary of state's website sos.ca.gov.
Source: California Department of Real Estate
Timeshare scammers continue to change how they lure victims, but the core of their schemes remains the same.
Fly-by-night companies promise to sell or transfer ownership of timeshare properties in exchange for hundreds to thousands of dollars in up-front fees, but end up not delivering the promised services. Timeshares, which number about 72,000 in the county, are properties owned by several owners who have the right to use the property during agreed-upon times.
Even though these dubious practices have been around since the 1990s, owners, especially the elderly, still get conned out of millions of dollars every year, according to the San Diego division of the FBI, which recently sent out a consumer alert on the matter. Victims are quick to say yes to these companies because they're desperate to shed properties. Many have lost a spouse or can no longer afford the maintenance fees.
"What typically would happen is, they'd crop up and burn out," said Mario Collura, an Oceanside-based timeshare broker and owner of TRI West Real Estate, referring to timeshare scammers. "They'd call so many people and collect so much money, they last anywhere from a year to three years, then they'd go away."
Here are a two scenarios victims typically hear:
Pitch One: We've secured several "ready and willing" buyers for your timeshares. For an up-front fee, we will market and sell your properties to them.
The reality: Chances are, there are no ready and willing buyers, and fraudsters usually don't list the properties for sale. Officials at the California Department of Real Estate have found that companies just take the money and never make good on their word. Poway resident Paul Grant was sold on this pitch in late 2010. A company claimed that a major corporation wanted to buy a whole block of timeshares at one place to offer as a bonus to its employees, and Grant's timeshare unit near Laguna Beach was one of the desirable units. Grant, 84, paid an up-front fee of $1,500, but "zero happened after they got the money," he added. In the state, the only individuals who can list and sell timeshares are licensed real estate brokers or sales reps overseen by the brokers. You can check if someone is licensed at dre.ca.gov.

Chic Antiques by Pamela Wiggins
Pamela Wiggins/Jay Siegel, General Manager, Austin, TX
Black and white is always a fashionable color combination making these mesmerizing large Barbara Groeger earrings from the 1980s the perfect addition to any wardrobe. They are made of flat backed rhinestones in chalk white and black for a wonderful contrast. Measure just about 2 1/8" in diameter. The back construction is a little more crude than the other Barbara Groeger earrings we've had in stock and the clip backs and signature are a bit different as well, so these may be early examples of her work. Groeger's designs are very much like those of Richard Kerr and from the same era. From the front they're absolutely excellent and really make a statement while being light in weight and comfortable to wear.

Giants are motivated to get back to Super Bowl
Everything is in place for the Giants to make another run to the Super Bowl, writes Matt Mosley.
Originally Published: October 23, 2008By Matt Mosley | ESPN.com
A perception exists that the NFC has overtaken the AFC as the more powerful conference in the league. A Super Bowl win by the New York Giants may have signaled the shift, and a season-ending injury to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady made it more of a reality.
On Sunday, the NFC will send its best team to Pittsburgh for what should be an excellent measuring-stick game. It also could be a Super Bowl preview.
In the interest of brevity, here are five reasons ...

Midway lost a tough softball game on the road at West Bladen Friday night, 11-1. Midway had only 2 hits and gave up 6 unearned runs by committing too many fielding errors. The young Lady Raiders really struggled but continued to battle.
Midway's head coach Leigh Ann Smith said, "We are very young and inexperienced. We will bounce back," in a statement following the game.
Midway's next game is set for Monday against West Bladen at home.

I really encourage you to check out World of Warcraft. At least get the free month. WoW is designed for people who play under 10 hours a week as well. They have things like "rest" where if you log off in an inn you will get double XP when you log back on, so players who dont' play that much can advance quickly. Also, World of Warcrafts PvP system is very very well disgned and balanced. It's all about HOW you play your class (as opposed to what your class is) that determines your success in PvP. They are also comming out with this thing called "battlegrounds" which are basically epic PvP wars. Loads of fun.

Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction
Our emissions expert has put together the following information about the P0100 fault code. We have also included diagnostic procedures you can take to your repair shop if the mechanic is having difficulty analyzing the code.
OBD II Fault Code
Fault Code Definition
- Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction
- Check Engine Light will illuminate
- Engine runs poorly
- Vehicle may stall and/or hesitate on acceleration
- Poor fuel mileage
- In some cases, no abnormal symptoms may be noticed
Common Problems That Trigger the P0100 Code
- The MAF Sensor is unplugged or the wiring is damaged
- Loose or corroded electrical terminals in the MAF Sensor circuit
- Faulty MAF Sensor
Common Misdiagnosis
- MAF Sensor replaced when the cause of code P0100 is a defective connector and/or wiring harness
- MAF Sensor replaced when the cause of code P0100 is a vacuum leak
- MAF Sensor replaced when the cause of code P0100 is a misfiring engine
Polluting Gases Expelled
- HCs (Hydrocarbons): Unburned droplets of raw fuel that smell, affect breathing, and contribute to smog
- CO (Carbon Monoxide): Partially burned fuel that is an odorless and deadly poisonous gas
- NOX (Oxides of Nitrogen): One of the two ingredients that, when exposed to sunlight, cause smog
P0100 Diagnostic Theory for Shops and Technicians
When diagnosing a P0100 code, it is important to record the freeze frame information and then to duplicate the code setting conditions with a test drive. Pay close attention to the engine load, throttle position, RPM, and road speed. Compare these values to the Mass Air Flow grams per second PID. If the grams per second varies a lot or moves in opposite directions to RPM and throttle position, then you may have verified the P0100 code setting condition.
Sometimes the Air Flow Sensor and the sensing wire get covered with dirt, dust, or oil residue, which can set a P0171 in addition to the P0100 code. Cleaning the sensor might hold off problems for a while, but the MAF sensor should be replaced. This is due to the fact that cleaning the wire isn't a thorough enough solution. A microscopic view of the wire will show that that 50% or more of the contamination is embedded into the sensing wire's grooves and crevices. Always make sure the Air Filter and its enclosure are dirt-, dust-, and oil-free. If you clean and replace the filter and its enclosure as needed, you will prevent the new MAF from failing.

As move to mobile grows, federal workforce adapts to new normal
The mobile revolution isn't new to many agencies. Laptops and BlackBerrys have been standard issue for many government executives for the last decade. What is different, however, is the widespread use of smartphones and tablet computers. Both agencies and citizens hold new and more immediate expectations because of these devices, and the government must adapt to this technololgy. In our special report, Gov 3.0: It's Mobile, Federal News Radio explores how some agencies are meeting the demand internally and externally for mobile devices and apps. The challenge, like any new technology, is ensuring these devices actually help meet mission goals and don't become just another shiny toy.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
But here I am, open-minded as always.
Walking next to me is Willie Miller, whose own mind is so wide-open that anything at all is completely free to go in and out, and often does. I'm not sure how thoughts actually enter his mind, but the point of exit is definitely his mouth. "This place ain't so cool," says Willie.
"Willie, it's only the airport." I look over at him and am surprised to see that he is wearing sunglasses. They seem to have appeared in the last few seconds, as if he has grown them. While he doesn't consider the airport "cool," he apparently fears that it might be sunny.
Willie has become a good friend these last couple of years. He's twenty-eight, ten years my junior, and we met when I successfully defended him on an appeal of a murder charge for which he had been wrongly convicted. Willie spent seven long years on death row, and his story is the reason we're out here. That and the fact that I had nothing better to do.
We take the escalator down to baggage claim, where a tall blond man wearing a black suit and sunglasses just like Willie's holds up a sign that says "Carpenter." Since my name is Andy Carpenter, I pick up on this almost immediately. "That's us," I say to the man, who is obviously our driver.
"How was your flight?" he asks, an opening conversational gambit I suspect he's used before. I say that it was fine, and then we move smoothly into a chat about the weather while we wait for the bags to come down. I learn that it's sunny today, has been sunny this month, last month, and will be sunny next month and the month after that. It's early June, and there is no chance of rain until December. However, I sense that the driver is a little nervous, because for tomorrow they're predicting a forty percent chance of clouds.
I have just one small suitcase, which I wouldn't have bothered to check had not Willie brought two enormous ones. I make the mistake of trying to lift one of Willie's bags off the carousel; it must weigh four hundred pounds. "Did you bring your rock collection?" I ask, but Willie just shrugs and lifts the bag as if it were filled with pillows.
I've lived in apartments smaller than the limousine that transports us to the hotel. The movie studio is obviously trying to impress us, and so far succeeding quite well. It's only been a week since they called me and expressed a desire to turn my defense of Willie into a feature film, and we are out here to negotiate the possible sale of those rights. It's not something I relish, but Willie and the others involved all coaxed me into it. Had I known we would be flown first-class and whisked around in limos with a bar and TV, it might not have taken quite so much coaxing.
The truth is, none of us need the money we might make from this deal. I inherited twenty-two million dollars from my father, Willie received ten million dollars from a civil suit which we brought after his release, and I split up the million-dollar commission from that suit among everybody else. That "everybody else" consists of my associate, Kevin Randall, my secretary, Edna, and Laurie Collins, who functions in the dual role of private investigator and love of my life.
I would be far more enthusiastic about this trip if Laurie were here, but she decided to fly back to Findlay, Wisconsin, for her fifteenth high school reunion. When I warily mentioned that it would also be a chance for her to see her old boyfriends, she smiled and said, "We've got a lot of catching up to do."
"I'll be spending all my time in LA with nubile young actresses," I countered. "Sex-starved, lawyer-loving, nubile young actresses. The town is full of them." I said this in a pathetic and futile attempt to get her to change her mind and come out here with me. Instead, she said, "You do that." I didn't bother countering with, "I will," since we both know I won't.
So it's just Willie and me that the driver drops off at the Beverly Regent Wilshire Hotel. It's a nice enough place, but based on the nightly rate, the fairly average rooms must have buried treasure in the mattresses. But again, the studio is paying, which is one reason the first thing I do is have a fourteen-dollar can of mixed nuts from the minibar.
Since Willie's release from prison brought him some measure of fame, his life has taken some other dramatic turns. In addition to becoming wealthy, he's gotten married, partnered with me in a dog rescue operation, and become part of the very exclusive New York social scene. He and wife Sondra are out every night with what used to be known as the in crowd, though I am so far "out" that I'm not sure what they're called anymore. He is constantly and unintentionally name-dropping friends in the sports, entertainment, and art worlds, though he comically often has no idea that anyone else has heard of them.
Willie's social reach apparently extends across the country, because he invites me to go "clubbing" tonight with him and a number of his friends. I would rather be clubbed over the head, so I decline and make plans to order room service and watch a baseball game.
First I call Laurie at her hotel in Findlay, but she's out. I hope she's in the process of marveling at how fat and bald all her old boyfriends have gotten. Next I call Kevin Randall, who is watching Tara for me while I'm gone.
Golden retrievers are the greatest living things on this planet, and Tara is the greatest of all golden retrievers, so that makes her fairly special. I hate leaving her, even for a day, but there was no way I was going to put her in a crate in the bottom of a hot airplane.
"Hello?" Kevin answers, his voice raspy.
I put him through about three or four minutes of swearing to me that Tara is doing well, and then I ask him how he's feeling, since his voice maintains that raspy sound. I ask this reluctantly, since Kevin is America's foremost hypo-chondriac. "I'm okay," he says.
I'd love to leave it at that, but it would ruin his night. "You sure?" I ask.
"Well ...," he starts hesitantly, "do you know if humans can catch diseases from dogs?"
"Why? Is Tara sick?"
"I told you she was fine," he says. "We're talking about me now. I seem to have developed a cough." He throws in a couple of hacking noises, just in case I didn't know what he meant by "cough."
"That definitely sounds like kennel cough," I say. "You should curl up and sleep next to a warm oven tonight. And don't have more than a cup of kibble for dinner."
Kevin, who is no dummy, shrewdly figures out that I am going to continue to make fun of him if he pursues this, so he lets me extricate myself from the call. Once I do so, I have dinner and lie down to watch the Dodgers play the Padres. I'm not terribly interested in it, which is why I'm asleep by the third inning.
I wake up at seven and order room service. I get the Assorted Fresh Berries for twenty-one fifty; for that price I would have expected twin Halle Berrys. They also bring an LA Times and Wall Street Journal, which are probably costing twenty bucks apiece.
The same driver and limo show up at nine in the morning to take Willie and me to the studio. We arrive early for our meeting, so we spend some time walking around the place, looking for stars. I don't see any, unless you count Willie.
We are eventually ushered into the office of Greg Burroughs, president of production at the studio. With him are a roomful of his colleagues, each with a title like "executive vice president" or "senior vice president." There seems to be an endless supply of gloriously titled executives; I wouldn't be surprised if there are three or four "emperors of production." The lowest ranked of the group is just a vice president, so it's probably the pathetic wretch's job to fetch the coffee and donuts.
It turns out that the overflow crowd is there merely as a show of how important we are to them, and everybody but Greg and a senior VP named Eric Anderson soon melts away. Greg is probably in his late thirties, and my guess is, he has ten years on Eric.
"Eric will be the production executive on this project," Greg informs. "He shares my passion for it." Eric nods earnestly, confirming that passion, as if we had any doubt.
Willie's been uncharacteristically quiet, but he decides to focus in on that which is important. "Who's gonna play me?"
Greg smiles. "Who do you have in mind?"
"Denzel Washington," says Willie without any hesitation. He's obviously given it some thought.
"I can see that." Greg nods, then looks at Eric, whose identical nod indicates that he, too, can see it. "The thing is, Will, we don't start to deal with casting until we have a script and director in place. But it's a really good thought."
Eric directs a question at "Will." "I hope you don't mind my asking, but do you have a mother?"
Willie shakes his head. "Nah. Used to."
"Why?" asks Greg of Eric, barely containing his curiosity.
"Well," Eric says, looking around the room and then back at Willie, "I hope I'm not talking out of turn, and this is just me speaking off the top of my head, but I was thinking it would be really great if you had a mother."
"Interesting," says Greg, as if this is the first time he has heard this idea. My sense is that Eric wouldn't say "good morning" without first clearing it with Greg, even if it's just "off the top" of his head.
"Well, it ain't that interesting to me," says Willie. "My mother took off when I was three and left me in a bus station. I ain't got no family."
Eric nods. "I understand, and again, I'm just thinking out loud off the top of my head, but I'm talking about for the sake of the story. If your mother was there, supporting you the whole time you were in prison, believing in you ..."
Willie is starting to get annoyed, which in itself does not qualify as a rare occurrence. "Yeah, she could have baked me fucking cupcakes. And we could have had a party in the prison. Mom and Dad could have invited all my fucking invisible aunts and uncles and cousins."
I intervene, partially because I'm concerned that Willie might throw Greg and Eric out the fifth-story window and they might bounce off the top of their heads. It would also necessitate getting two other passionate executives in here, thereby prolonging this meeting. The other reason I jump in is that they are alluding to an area in which I have a real concern, which is taking dramatic license and changing the characters and events. I've heard about the extraordinary liberties Hollywood can take with "true" stories, and I don't want to wind up being portrayed as the lead lawyer of the transvestite wing of Hamas.
We hash this out for a while, and they assure me that the contract will address my concerns. We agree on a price, and they tell me that a writer will be assigned and will want to go back East to meet and get to know all of us.
I stand up. "So that's it?"
Eric smiles and shakes my hand. "That's it. Let's make a movie."

David Rosenfelt is one of the very best writers I've found. Witty and clever as can be. His characters become so real to you that you don't want the story to end. He's definitely right 'up there' with Sue Grafton and......Oh! There's no one else that good, is there?? If so, please let me know!

PS3 Bigadz5125
Cleveland Cavs babe!
please search the board before posting question bro~
This had been mentioned quite plenty of times already...
anyway, I myself haven't play until there (only 46 games completed but experienced freeze for 5 - 6 times?), but according to the other players who had faced similar issue, apparently your MP will face freezing issue right after the finals in your Rookie year.
According to them, you may opt to skip the game in order to get past to next season.
I do not know the exact details, but you may try search around in the board... there are plenty of similar topics like yours.
Hope this helps :)
how are you today?
sorry my bad....
I didn't notice your post just now...
I thought that you are still in Rookie year~
I am sorry for misunderstanding~
So that means the freezing issue still occur in 2nd year?
how are you today?
haha must have not looked deep enough!
i saw the halftime freezes but nothing about the championship one!
i keep looking thanks buddy! :D

Pink Floyd owns you all up in the face!

i only have had this occur this in the closing game of the finals!

After the Rhode Island court scandals of the 1990's, the state changed the way judges are chosen. Rhode Island Public Radio political analyst Scott MacKay explains why lawyers with Statehouse connections keep getting appointed to the bench … despite the reforms.
Common Cause of Rhode Island, the good government group, the Rhode Island Bar Association and a past president of the NAACP skewered Gov. Lincoln Chafee recently when he elevated former Senate President Joe Montalbano to a coveted judgeship on the state superior court bench.
Denise Dallaire served ten years in prison before being abruptly freed a few months ago by the same judge who sentenced her.
She was convicted in 2003 on a minor drug dealing charge, but because of mandatory sentencing laws in effect at that time, she received a 15 year sentence. When her sentence was reversed, the judge apologized to her.
Ms. Dallaire sat down with Rhode Island Public Radio's Elisabeth Harrison.
More from Elisabeth Harrison's interview with Denise Dallaire.
The Rhode Island Judiciary is working to overhaul a media policy last updated in 1981 -- when manual typewriters remained in widespread use.
As it stands, trial justices have some latitude on the technology that reporters can and can't use in their individual courtrooms.

To be fair, I have seen guys in star cruisers advertising the bootcamp. And all the paid cruisers seem closer in effectiveness to the star cruiser than the bug is to the starter escorts.
If you're talking about an escort vs escort fight, even the fleet patrol cruiser is closer to the vanilla model than the bug, since the turn rates are very close. The bug basically has the agility of a bird of prey, but the sturdiness of a fed escort. Escort vs. BoP fights can be a little balanced because the escort is more able to take damage so it can compensate for not getting it's guns on target as easily. But an escort has no advantage at all over a bug.

Need advice for upgrading PowerMac Cube HDD
Hey guys,
My aging Cube is in desperate need of a hard drive upgrade. The problem is that the eject mechanism for the CD drive doesn't work properly (so I cant simply install the HDD then install the OS then copy the files across) and I have a house full of laptops so I have no way of simply copying the data from the cube directly to a new HDD as I don't have anything with a 3.5' enclosure. I do however have a couple of external HDDs (one USB one FireWire) that I can use.
So what are my options for copying the data from the old HDD to a new one?
I was thinking I could make a bootable copy of the current Cube HDD (although I don't know how to do that!) onto an external HDD then install the new HDD, then target mode into that from another Mac and copy the Bootable file onto it?
I know it sounds complicated, but seen as though the CD drive doesnt work it makes it a little more hassle.
I would really appreciate some tips, as I need to get it sorted this week, as my parents use it as their main interwebs/email computer.
Thanks in advance everyone. Hope you have a good wknd.

Although I have never done this, you should be able to:
- install the new drive in the Cube
- put the system in target mode
- connect it to a laptop with a working CD drive
- boot the laptop with the install disk
- choose the cube drive to install the OS to

Since you have a houseful of laptops, if any of them are Macs a simpler way of doing this I think would be to:
Hook the Cube up via Target Disk Mode to an Apple laptop with enough free space on the hard drive to accomodate the amount used on your Cube's drive
Download and use Carbon Copy Cloner (free) on the laptop to clone your Cube's drive to the laptop, being sure to use the menu option in CCC to clone to a FOLDER on the destination drive (the laptop).
Shut down everything and swap out the drive on the Cube
Start up the Cube and the laptop again in Target Disk Mode
Run Disk Utility on the laptop to set up the new drive in the Cube-- and make sure to use an APM partition table map so it will be bootable when you are done
Run CCC again to clone the folder's contents onto the fresh Cube disk
Enjoy the fresh new larger drive in the Cube
I'm sure you are aware of this too, but just in case I will throw it in- your Cube needs an IDE/PATA type of hard drive, not the commonly available SATA drives and there is a firmware limitation of how large a drive you can put in the Cube as it will not see drives larger than 128Gb without additional utility software that would need to be purchased. If you can find a 120Gb IDE drive it would be ideal, but with that drive type being more and more scarce, 80Gb are much easier to find.
|Mar 7, 2009, 12:49 PM
Be aware that to install in target disk mode, you need an Apple iBook or PowerBook (or any other PPC Mac with firewire that can boot your version of OSX for that matter). An Intel Mac will not work.
|Mar 7, 2009, 01:24 PM
|Mar 8, 2009, 05:45 PM
Awesome. Thanks everyone. I was unsure of whether or not target mode would work with a brand new hard drive.
I didn't know that you needed a PPC mac for target mode though! Whats that all about? Can you not mix and match PPC/Intel target mode?
Thanks again for all the advice, I really appreciate it.
I've managed to find a place that does refurbished hard drives for the Cube. Its WAY cheaper than buying brand new, and also means that I can put the cash that I save towards some more RAM for it also!
I will definitely be using CCC to do the switch. Thanks for the tip.

Hey everyone. The upgrade was surprisingly simple. It turns out the CD Drive was working, but the disc ejector is a bit weak, so I was able to copy the data from the hard drive, slip in the new one and then boot from disc and reinstall the operating system. I managed to remove the disc with a pair of tweezers. Classic. I used CCC to just put all the personal data back on, and it works fine.
I also opted to buy another 2 512mb sticks of RAM too. It turns out there was a 256mb stick in there, along with the original RAM that shipped with the computer. A 32MB RAM module!!! Ahh nostalgia.

Biosynthesis of isoprenic unit of secoiridoids. The MEP pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis is reported. Through DXP synthesis and reduction, MEP is obtained and converted to CDPME through the transfer of a phosphocytidyl moiety. CDPME is phosphorylated to CDPMEP and cyclised to MECP. After an oxidoreduction reaction CDPMES is reduced to HMBPP, which is finally converted to IPP or DMAPP.

The clip packing brantley's things from The Secret of My Succe$s (1987) with John Pankow, Michael J. Fox
You mean I was workin' for a guy from the mailroom?
You're not an executive?
He's too good to be an executive.
I was having fun on this job.
You had all this energy, and all these crazy ideas.
And you kept takin' your pants off.
I don't want you to go.
Just a little somethin' to remember me by.
Thank you.
Brantley, why you lookin' so sad?
I don't know. I just thought it'd work out better, you know?
The job or the girl?
The job. To hell with the girl.
Yeah. You sound real convincing.
Well, look at it this way, pal.
For a few weeks, you sat up here in the lofty atmosphere of the big cheeses.
You had a nice view of Manhattan and a clean lunchroom to eat in.
Hell, you did more in two months than most people do in a lifetime.
Yeah, I'm gonna miss it.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
In a recent report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of deaths at work is not decreasing, raising concerns about worker safety. With improvements in technology and safety standards, it is hoped that this number would decrease over time in the United States, including Alabama. These disappointing numbers have caused concern that many industries and employers are not doing enough to improve and ensure worker safety.
Many of these job-related deaths could have been prevented by simply following safety standards and protocols. Complying with the OSHA would largely improve worker safety, making many of the 4600 deaths preventable. Tragically, with such high numbers of work related deaths, it can be assumed that the number of work related injuries have increased also, even in Alabama.
Some organizations that monitor worker safety claim that these deaths stem from an emphasis on financial gain rather than the safety of the employees. Most of these work related deaths are white males that are involved in transportation related accidents, including car accidents. There are several industries that are more dangerous than others, including agriculture, forestry, and jobs that require physical labor in outdoor environments.
There is legislation being proposed that would increase the amount of penalties against companies that are found disregarding worker safety. This would include any blatant and obvious disregard for regulations and safety protocols. It is hoped that this would encourage employers to be more concerned with the safety of their employees.
Worker safety is of utmost importance and when that is disregarded by an employer, it opens the door for legal repercussions and workers' compensation claims. Those who are injured or become ill on the job are typically entitled to claim these important state-regulated insurance benefits. As other penalties increase for these employers, it is hoped that worker safety would increase also. Stricter penalties may mean safer workplaces.

Percussionist Varun Sunil talks about his musical journey, the struggles, and the rewards
Varun Sunil says he tried hard at making a go at academics. "I did try. But academics did not interest me." He gave up studies and instead marched to the beat of a different drummer. Or rather beat the drums and became a percussionist himself.
Taufiq and Fazal Qureshi, Ranjit Barot, Astaad Deboo, Sadir Khan, Dilshad Khan, Hariharan, Swedish flautist and soprano saxophonist Anders Hagberg are some of the artistes Varun has worked with. The leap of faith into music was not what his parents wanted him to do, "but once they saw that I was doing okay they came around." He has music in his genes. His father Sunil Menon used to sing at ganamelas and his mother Sujatha used to play the euphonium. Despite all the music in the family and the inherited genes it was tough getting his parents' approval to pursue music as a career, he says wryly.
Varun has done three grades of Western Music theory from Chetana Music Academy, Thrissur. He followed his music training with, what he calls, 'self-research' on complex time signatures in music. A former student of Bhavan's Girinagar, he was a member of the school band. His training as a mridangist made handling other percussion instruments easy. Some of the other instruments he plays are bongo, cajon, udu pot, doumbele and conja. "All self-taught, the mridangam made learning the others easy because you use both hands which requires co-ordination," he says.
Varun has composed jingles for brands such as Bhima Gold, Jayalakshmi Silks and Sunny Diamonds. A sense of restlessness induced by a desire to do something in music took him to Chennai, to try his luck at music. It was in Chennai that the real struggle began. He has not forgotten those days of not knowing where the money would come from. He was working with an ad agency but what he did essentially was "holding the light for the camera man and getting paid a paltry amount of Rs. 300 daily." The struggle shows in the way the 26 year-old talks. He talks about appreciating all manner of musicians, "sometimes we just don't acknowledge musicians if it is not a known name."
Burning ambition
The urge to make it as a musician was so strong that he hung on, desperately. The turning point, of sorts, came when a friend from Kochi saw him at a college function. "That was it. She came up to me and asked what I was doing there with the camera man. I lied to save my face. I could not admit to what I was doing or rather was not doing. However, I would like to add that I, later, performed at the same college." He played at wedding receptions for a meagre Rs. 500 in order to make ends meet. "Not exactly the kind of set-up that requires expert musicians."
He made a clean break and set out doing what he always wanted to do, to pursue music in earnest and become a performing musician. He got acquainted with Stephen Devassy with whom he went on to perform stage shows. He has played for music directors such as Jerry Amaldev, Johnson, M. Jayachandran and Rajamani. Then came the independent gigs. One gig led to another and he was on the next phase of his career in music.
Scaling new heights
That is how he came to be part of a band. The band, 'Malabar', was formed by former CEO of Magnasound, Madhav Das. "We did fairly well. We performed at various prestigious venues." The band played primarily easy listening lounge music. And then the restlessness bug bit him and took him to Mumbai, the city of big dreams. He says he never went out asking for a chance in Mumbai but he got work. "I had performed in Mumbai so I had contacts there. I never went asking for work, I got work on my own steam." He currently freelances with Footcandles, a Mumbai-based company which makes ad films. He has composed jingles for Cadbury's, Sundrop oil, Castrol, Kurkure Monster Paws and Britannia besides a series of others. But that, he clarifies, is not where his heart is.
He distinguishes between playing for the masses and classes. "It is like playing 3,000 chords for three people rather than three chords for 3,000 people, the difference between the reach of Sivamani as opposed to Ranjit Barot." Music is more a spiritual involvement for him, he says he is driven by the urge to play good music and jam with the best musicians. This journey in music has taken him to places he never imagined. "A jugalbandi with Astaad Debu, me on the percussion and him dancing….it was an unbelievable experience. Being able to share space with, and performing alongside, artistes like Fazal, Toufiq Qureshi and Hariharan is something I never dreamt about. I learnt so much from them, for example Fazalji taught me the taals which I wasn't familiar with."
His dream is to move to Los Angeles. "For some time at least. Where I can spend time making music and collaborate with big names in the business," he says.

Drs. Monteith & Berger are absolutely amazing, as well as their entire staff. I had my TR 03/09, I have had 0 complications, and it was an amazingly easy recovery. We even drove 18 hours home after surgery without a glitch. We are anxiously awaiting a positive PG test, but even if we never get one, I have been completely cured of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS).

Stampede after fireworks kills 61 in Ivory Coast
Injured children receive treatment in a hospital after they were involved in a stamped in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013.

Hi ladies,
My name is Anna, I was a sexually abused child by my father, my mother never protected me. I just wanted to say how wonderful you all are for standing up for your children now. When I told my mother she had every excuse in the book. She is still with him. Last week I sent them both letters cutting them out of my life. I am going to have a LO of my own and cannot stand the thought of my child being around him. I'm now protecting my unborn child. Long story short she called today and still says that I wouldn't remember and just making a ton of excuses. When I told her that she needed help because he has always been physically abusive towards her she said that she deserved it....
That was just a little of my story. There is not a sing at all when a child is being abused. My Aunt was so torn up when I told her Last week. She has always been like a mother to me. She was my strength and she is the reason why I felt the need to stay alive and be strong. She just never knew it. I'm glad that your children came to you because so many kids are scared that they will be looked past and that people will think bad of them. You ladies stood up and did the right thing! I'm so proud of you all and you all are doing the right things to help your children overcome the pain.
You all are wonderful and strong women and your children are so lucky to have protector like you all.

When I decided to join the military (Indiana National Guard) it was not only because I am patriotic, it was also for future benefits promised me. As a young mother of two, I made arrangements for my children to be cared for in case I was called up.
I agreed to put my life on the line for my country if needed.
Recently I retired as a staff sergeant with almost 24 years' service and started getting my retirement benefits. Why should they be in danger of being cut? I did not renege on my commitment. Why should my country's budget makers renege on their obligation?
