SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) -- Police say a drug dealer mistakenly sent messages to a California central coast police officer in an attempt to sell methamphetamines.
The Santa Maria officer notified Santa Barbara County sheriff's detectives about the errant text messages early Tuesday. The officer and detectives then set up a meeting with the alleged drug dealer.
Sheriff's spokesman Drew Sugars says they arrested 39-year-old Reymundo Carlos Escobedo and seized about 2 grams of methamphetamine.
A news release says 37-year-old John Martin Silvera, who is Escobedo's suspected methamphetamine supplier, also arrived and was arrested with about 7 grams of methamphetamine.
Escobedo and Silvera remain held on drug charges, including criminal conspiracy. Bail is set at $30,000 each.

Congratulations to Carolyn Johnson, winner of the International Reading Association 59th Annual Conference "registration refund" contest!
IRA members who registered for the conference prior to January 31, 2014 were given the chance to get up to $319 of registration fees refunded by IRA.
Johnson is a fourth grade teacher at Royal Palm Elementary in Lauderhill, Florida. This is her first year as an IRA member, and she's looking forward to attending the IRA Conference in May (another first!). One of her favorite quotes comes from Frederick Douglass: "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."
She is interested in many sessions at the IRA Conference in New Orleans, including Complex Texts vs. Complex Tasks, The Lit-Hit List: Top Ten Ways to Integrate Technology in the Literacy Classroom, Closer Reading in the Content Areas: Giving Students Engaging Reasons to Reread, Rethink, Discuss, and Debate, and Reading to Write, Writing to Read: Strategies to Support the Common Core State Standards.
Haven't registered for IRA 2014? Attendees who sign up before Early Bird Registration ends on April 14, 2014 and book a conference hotel will be entered to win our VIP prize pack. Unlike the refund promotion, this one is open to everyone (and not just IRA members).
Look for Carolyn Johnson at the IRA Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, from May 9-12, 2014. Visit www.iraconference.org to register or to read more about the event.

Sweet & sour delicata squash
We've been keeping busy. Lots of early mornings, driving from trains to winery to long days in the office, and late nights. I haven't had my hands on as much good fall seasonal stuff as I would have liked this year. There will be no cutesy photos of the chickens milling about some decorative pumpkins. As usual, I thought I would plant a fall garden two months ago. Ha. I'm learning big lessons about this, about how some seasons I really get to dig in to the good things, and some I just suck it up, keep my head down, and pay the bills.
Ben picked me up from a late train home the other day with two hot pizzas in the backseat. Do you know how good that feels? What a guy.

Foibles of local eating (& tomatoes, many ways)
Things seem pretty good for seasonal, local food, if you take a look at my dining room table. I don't have a ton of disposable income, but I chose to spend a lot of it on tomatoes last week. And from the numbers, you might believe this reflects national consensus. Back in 2011, the USDA projected that local food would bring in $7 billion in sales.
A lot of you who read this site would probably consider yourself "locavores". It's a group with which I also identify, but uneasily. The movement is one under which people with very different priorities gather, united by a single objective: buy food grown or produced nearby.
Locavorism alternately emphasizes that local food takes fewer fossil fuels to produce and transport, supports the local economy, promotes biodiversity, preserves rurality, mitigates environmental damage, is grown more naturally and seasonally, and is generally healthier. It seems so simple, really. How can buying local agricultural products be panacea for so many of society's ills?
The short answer is that it cannot.

New EU rule will help phone-users avoid astronomical bills for web-surfing and downloads abroad.
From July on, European mobile phone companies must cut off customers after their monthly data-roaming tab reaches €50, unless they explicitly agree to extra charges.
And the maximum price one phone company can charge another for downloading or uploading data will drop from €1 to €0.80 per megabyte.
Just in time for the summer, the caps should help holidaymakers avoid unwittingly racking up huge bills for web-browsing, e-mailing and using other mobile apps in another EU country.
The new caps follow the introduction in March of an EU rule allowing customers to opt for a maximum monthly tab (€50 by default) for data-roaming. Providers have to warn customers when they are close to reaching their limit and get their permission to raise it.
In another break for customers, the maximum price for making a call from abroad will drop from €0.43 to €0.39 a minute in July. Mobile users will also benefit from a lower cap on charges for calls received - €0.15 instead of the current €0.19.
And operators will no longer be allowed to charge customers for receiving a voice mail while abroad in the EU.
All prices exclude VAT.
The EU capped cross-border mobile calls in 2007 after finding they were on average four times more expensive than domestic calls. Since then, prices for calls abroad have dropped 70% compared with 2005 prices. The caps were extended last year to include text messages and mobile data services.
Earlier in June, four leading telecom companies lost their bid to overturn the caps. The European Court of Justice upheld the price limits in the interest of protecting consumers and improving the internal market.

From the Publisher"This subtitle is a more accurate description of the information within. The book opens with a refreshing reality check: No Child Left Behind purports to focus on reading, but envisions reading as little more than decoding and comprehending text. What library professionals consider real reading–reading for meaning, reading as a life skill, reading as an integral piece of the more inclusive concept of information literacy–is sacrificed, as are many libraries and librarians, for this limited and limiting goal. After acknowledging the constraints now imposed upon library media specialists, Buzzeo makes lemonade by taking these limitations and refocusing what librarians do at the primary level through a different lens: becoming literacy cheerleaders and cultivating collaboration with teachers. The author proposes specific strategies for collaboration to overcome imposed roadblocks and presents a template for unit and lesson development that addresses national standards and satisfies NCLB requirements while still dealing constructively with the nine information literacy standards developed by AASL. The 15 units, complete with black-line masters and written by several different library media professionals, make up most of the book and can help struggling school librarians in their attempts to integrate their philosophy with the difficult currency of present reality."
School Library Journal
"Collaborating to Meet Literacy Standards is an essential book that models cooperative relationships between library media specialists and teachers in establishing and reaching classroom literacy goals. The specific age group targeted in this volume is K-2; however, the philosophical principles articulated in the introductory chapters extend way beyond particular grade parameters. Toni Buzzeo carefully addresses literacy legislation in today's elementary school curriculum, gives an overview of collaboration efforts between librarians and teachers during the past ten years and suggests successful practices in introducing literacy programs in the classroom. Collaboration is key in any classroom literacy program and the cooperation of administrators, parents, students and school staff is essential. The majority of Collaborating to Meet Literacy Standards consists of fifteen sample literacy-based units actually implemented by teachers and librarians. The creative units can be easily incorporated as written or adapted to fit most literacy programs. The text is praiseworthy for its theoretical context and practical application. Collaborating to Meet Literacy Standards is essential for schools implementing a collaborative literacy-based program."

This was an incredible spot for our first trip to Hawaii as it was away from the touristy spots yet still very close to everything we wanted to do. There is enough local stores in the immediate area that provided us with what we needed without having to drive the 10 miles or so into Kona.
The place is truly surrounded by tropical forest which gave you a sense of total privacy as they list on their info page. The patio with the chairs for relaxing/sunning along with the bbq grill was a definite plus as well.
As you can see I gave the place an excellent rating which it certainly deserved BUT the only caveat to my review would be something that is entirely out of the owners control which was the noises of the many animals that surround you all of the time especially at night and early in the AM. It was very enjoyable as you have to understand that you were in the jungle but the roosters starting their "squawking" pretty early in the morning and being a light sleeper I had to purchase a set of earplugs to be able to cut down on some of it.
Do NOT let this be a warning as to not to go but simply one to understand as the place is well worth the stay.
This was our first vacation together.We wanted the privacy and convenience of "feeling" right at home.The Enchanted Cottage was exactly that.When we arrived it was late at night.We opened the gate and the walkway was lit up to guide our way.It was absolutely breathtaking.The keys were in the door to our home away from home.The pictures although accurate do not do the place justice.The kitchen was just perfect for two and we enjoyed the visits from the gecko.We saved a lot of time and money with this feature.When we finished unpacking it was nice to relax in the hot tub that was already heated and ready for us.The location was perfect to everything we had planned. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas when we wanted to.We had days that we really just wanted to stay and enjoy our surroundings and BBQ and drink freshly blended drinks.We will definitely stay with them again.
The hidaway was great very private the gardens were beautifull we would highley recomend it

Art-theft suspect pleads not guilty in NYC
NEW YORK A wine steward suspected in a bicoastal art-theft spree lifted pricey art from New York hotels simply by walking out with the works in a canvas tote bag and then used them to line his own walls, prosecutors said Friday.
Mark Lugo, who just spent more than four months in jail for grabbing a $275,000 Picasso off a San Francisco art gallery wall, was being held without bail after pleading not guilty Friday to grand larceny and other charges in a Manhattan court.
"In an effort to display stolen art in his apartment, this repeat art thief boldly walked out of two Manhattan hotels in broad daylight" with valuable works, District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement.
Lugo's New York lawyer, James Montgomery, said the 31-year-old was a "pleasant, engaging" man "who's been struggling with particular difficulties," which he wouldn't detail.
"When the dust settles, and the DA's office calms down a little bit, we'll find that Mr. Lugo is a man who had no commercial motive at all" in the alleged thefts, Montgomery said.
The charges relate to two thefts of a total of six artworks, including what prosecutors called a $350,000 sketch by the French Cubist painter Fernand Leger. But prosecutors said a search of Lugo's former apartment in Hoboken, N.J., turned up four other pieces - including a Picasso work - that may have been stolen from Manhattan venues, and they said the investigation was continuing.
Lugo was publicly identified as a suspect in several New York heists since shortly after his July arrest in San Francisco, where police identified him as the man who walked into the Weinstein Gallery, lifted the 1965 Picasso drawing "Tete de Femme" ("Head of a Woman") off the wall, strolled down the street with the sketch under his arm and hopped into a taxi. Police tracked Lugo to a friend's Napa County apartment, where the Picasso was found unframed and prepared for shipping.
At his Hoboken apartment, investigators then found a $430,000 trove of stolen art, carefully and prominently displayed, as well as high-priced wine, authorities said.
Among some 19 artworks at the apartment was Leger's 1917 "Composition with Mechanical Elements," Assistant District Attorney Meghan Hast told a judge. The drawing disappeared June 28 from an employee entrance area at a gallery in the Carlyle Hotel; prosecutors pegged its value at $350,000, though Montgomery said that figure warranted investigating.
Lugo also is charged with stealing a group of five works by the South Korea-born artist Mie Yim, known for her disconcerting images of toy bears and other toy-like creatures, from the Chambers Hotel on June 14. The hotel had bought the Yim works, together called "Pastel on Board," for $1,800 apiece, prosecutors said.
Representatives for the hotels didn't immediately return calls Friday.
The San Francisco district attorney's office has said Lugo also was suspected of several other New York art heists, including the theft of a $30,000 Picasso etching from the William Bennett Gallery on June 27.
While artworks can be equipped with electronic tags that sound alerts when they're moved, some galleries don't use the technology because they sell works and change their exhibits frequently, said Robert K. Wittman, a former investigator for the FBI's national art crime team.

Lifestyle Medicine, and Common Cause: Even Causes Have Causes
Presidents are supposed to give periodic status reports about the unions they steward. In our case, I am privileged to be in that position of stewardship as our union not only thrives, but unites with other, likeminded unions. So the best way to characterize the state of our union is to describe the recent spate of our communions.
We are quite far along the path of communal effort with the American College of Preventive Medicine. Conjoining these two organizations in a manner that lends the strength of each to the other while preserving their important distinctions and character has long been an aspiration of the leadership in both camps. There are some details to be worked out still, but the effort now seems certain of success. I expect our College to be the stronger for it.
We are an integral part of a fast-growing coalition of lifestyle medicine organizations all around the world as a founding partner in the Global Lifestyle Medicine Association. We have our friend and colleague, Dr. Michael Sagner, President of the European Society of Lifestyle Medicine, to thank for the heavy lifting that set this in motion- but ACLM has been engaged from the start.
Join the American College of Lifestyle Medicine in its support of GLiMMER: Global Lifestyle Medicine Mobilizing to Effect Reform.
Founded by ACLM President David Katz, MD, the GLiMMER Initiative's ultimate mission is to spark a rally cry that will unite us in reducing the prevailing burden of chronic disease by up to 80%—adding years to life and life to years. The potential strength of GLiMMER derives from an unprecedented unity of voices.

Teaching with new technology: four 'early majority' teachers

This paper explores how four good teachers, who do not have a special interest in technology, meet the challenge of introducing the rapidly developing mathematics analysis software (e.g. spreadsheets, function graphers, symbolic algebra manipulation and dynamic geometry) into their classrooms. These teachers' practice is viewed through the lens of Roger's framework for the diffusion of innovation and Pierce and Stacey's pedagogical opportunities map. Data on teachers, views and practices were collected over 2 years. 'Pedagogical Maps' give a picture of the teachers' perception and uptake of pedagogical opportunities. New practices have been added slowly to each teacher's repertoire and their increasing fluency in practical ability to teach with the technology resulted in some changes to the classroom didactic contract. Overall, new technology seemed to have been absorbed into current practice, more than changing practice. At this stage of their development, these teachers do not identify the distinctive new mathematical capabilities as contributing to the major relative advantage of the innovation. Instead, they see the relative advantage mostly in the incremental improvements to capabilities of earlier calculators, and meeting the need for students to be up to date. One of the current challenges is that significant changes in both software and hardware design have been happening so rapidly that these early majority teachers felt almost constantly hampered by the need to learn and teach new technical skills and so continue to make limited progress in taking advantage of opportunities to approach mathematics concepts in new ways.

Harvard & The Wirraway
Sorry we don't know how to spell Wirraway
I was born in Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham, in 1963 and spent most of my adult life living in Southampton, strangely enough both places synonymous with the Spitfire, the creation of RJ Mitchell, a brillant aircraft designer and aircraft that still makes the hairs on my arms stand up, everytime I see one.
Castle Bromwich is the place where my childhood was enjoyed, a great village, formed in Anglo Saxon times, more importantly to me, a place where my family lived but equally a place that produced 20,000 Spitfires from 1940 onwards, in a factory that still exists but is now where Jaguar makes its cars.
RJ Mitchell went to work for the Supermarine aviation works in Southampton in 1917 and went on to design the S6B which won the Schneider Trophy in 1931 and later broke the world air speed record, he was awarded the CBE in 1932 for his contribution to high-speed flight.
The first design of the Spitfire flew in 1934 and many examples still adorn the skies around the world and today we will be lucky to see a Mk 8 and Mk 16, the only two flying Spitfires in Australia.
Shown Line up at Temora
I can remember my mother telling me, when she was a young girl, playing up in Bluebell woods on pimple hill, places I played as a child, she used to watch the Spitfires being rolled out and test flown, before they would have been delivered to the active squadrons in the war.
The wind really got up in the night, it was so bad that the side of the tent was really blowing in, the cold wind seemed to be getting into the sleeping bag so we ended up doing the inner flaps up so that it would stop the draught, it helped a bit but with that strong wind, not much was going to help.
Andy had got out of bed, I don't know what time, but he got back into bed after giving up making a cup of tea, the wind was too strong and the kettle was taking too long to boil, eventually it was 8.00 and I decided I had to get up, I put the kettle on, it was taking ages but with some perseverance and finding a way to block the wind, we finally got our cup of tea.
even had my fleece on this morning, the sun was up but with that cold wind, my fleece was more than welcome.
David introduces himself, he arrived this morning and parked up next to our trailer, he too was surprised to see this place not very busy. David explained that he stayed in town last night as he thought it would be too packed out here.
While talking David said "something's coming!" Now, I am thinking he can hear an aeroplane that I cannot, explaining further "the birds are flustered, there must be a bird of prey around, sure enough within moments, we see a Black Falcon appear, Galahs, Australian Magpie's and all of the other birds are now fleeing for their lives. The Black Falcon sticks around for a while, but we do not see if he gets any breakfast.
David is from Agnes Water in Queensland (up by the town of 1770), he is having a nice long holiday and tells us that he was driving back up to Queensland when he heard about the air show so turned around to come back, it took him a week to get here. While on the road,
David tells us he is promoting business for his boss, The LARC's 1770 Environmental Tours, which includes trips up to the Bustard Head Lightstation, David is an Environmental Tour Guide.
Lee and Marilyn arrive at 10.00 as planned, they parked their car by ours, we sat in the sunshine and had a quick cup of tea but by now the day is starting to warm up a little the wind has dropped and the breeze is nice and cool. We knew we wouldn't miss the flying display as we are only 50 mtrs from the flight line, and as the display wouldn't fly below about 200ft then we would see everything over the hangers anyway.
We grabbed our chairs and walked through the gate and took our position, Caroline and myself were surprised at just how few people were around. I have been to lots of air shows in the UK, with crowds getting up in to the tens of thousands, all getting there ridiculously early to get their sacred place on the flight line, all pushing and jostling to get the very best vantage point. Not to mention the long traffic queues and being directed to park
in a place where you will never find your car until every other car has left!
When I fist saw the aircraft to be displayed today, and seemed somewhat disappointed, in the UK, they air show organisers always pulled out the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight whilst the Americans always bestowed the very best of aviation technology that was available, like the Rockwell B1B, or the stealth Bomber.
Here we are in a tiny little town in Australia, (Temora) on a beautiful warm day of about 38 degree's, in our section of the airport no more than 200 people all looked to the sky as 2 Spitfires gracefully danced around the sky with the Rolls Royce Merlin engines growling as they tumbled around, the Spitfires flew with an American P51 Mustang and a Curtiss P40 Kittyhwark. Sadly one of the Spitfires landed early with oil pressure problems.
The display was just fantastic, though only a small air show, we saw, some amazing aircraft, that are not really shown on the UKK circuit anymore, it was great to see them, aircraft like the DeHavilland Vampire, or the English Electric Canberra and the Gloucester Meteor.
The whole day
P51 Mustang & Spitfire
was packed with some great flying, but strangely enough in the UK when you go to an air show or other out door event it usually just pours down and spoils the day, benefit here was it was the most beautiful sunny day without the crowds, oh yes and we didn't have to pay to go in what a bonus, it was $20.00 each to go in via the museum, but as we are camping virtually on the flight line we could see what we wanted to anyway.
The show came to an end at about 3.30 so we walked back to the Wendy House and put the kettle on, well the only thing to do after a hard day enjoying yourself is have a cup of tea.
We had agreed that we again would go to Ariah Park tonight where Lee and Marylyn were staying as it was a fantastic hotel and the food was brilliant, so we decided to use the $40.00 entry fee that we saved to treat ourselves to another decent meal out.
Lee and Marylyn left at about 4.00pm and headed back to Ariah Park, we would have a bit of a
relax, a shower then get ourselves ready for another great evening.
Caroline is reading the paper, she see's an article about Brits leaving the UK, and in 2008, it was the highest recorded number with 427,000 emigrating from the UK with 56,000 coming to Australia, and we are pleased to be two of them that fall into these statistics.
On the way out we needed to fill up with Diesel, heading out of town towards Griffith and turning for Ariah Park, some 35k's from where we are staying.
We arrive at the Ariah Park Hotel at 7.00 am suitably washed and coiffed, we find lee and Marilyn talking to two guys who recognised me from the air show today, Ben and Andrew are both from Gouldburn and both have their private pilots licence, we both ask them if they flew up to the airs how but they drove, how sweet would that be, flying in and then flying home, which is what many of the attendees have done today.
Andrew (Miskelly) works in Sydney and Ben Matthes works in Canberra, both good blokes, who were really interesting to talk to.
Tonight is Thai night, but
Broken Spitfire
This Spitfire had oil pressure problems and had to land
again I opt for something that moo's hhilst Caroline went for grilled chicken, all six of us sat in the dining room and had a few beers and a good laugh.
Everyone (except Caroline) wanted a pudding, although Andrew recommended the sticky date pudding, I asked for apple pie and custard, Andrew said "Custard! Its 38 degrees outside, why do you want custard?" So I ended up with ice cream on my apple pie.
Caroline had taken 186 frames today and had loaded them on to the PC, which we took with us, so we could run a slide show for Lee and Marilyn who both enjoy taking pictures. We run the slide show and I think some of her pictures are excellent, it is late and we are tired, its unusual to have eaten out, but twice in a week is pretty good going for us.
We say goodbye to everyone and thank them for a great evening, and soon we are leaving this fabulous little town of Ariah Park heading back to our Wendy House in Temora.
Before we left Andy was chatting to the owner, we find out that this little jewel of
a hotel is for sale, him and his wife have run it for four years, but his wife now does not want to do this anymore, so for a snip at $425,000 you can grab yourself a nice little hotel/pub, probably needs a little bit of work done on it, but they have worked really hard on this place, it is a real gem.
The night is still, the runway lights are already switched off by the time we get back and we head straight to bed, the night is cool but comfortable, how long that will last, who knows, but we hope that the morning would not be as bad as this morning.

Back in the November of 2008, we embarked on an adventure that would take us out of everything that we were so familiar with, a comfortable life in the UK, friends, family and the English countryside. Some call it brave, others thought that we would be back, but above all, most people helped us embrace the challenge that lay ahead of us. Weary of corporate life, we emigrated to Australia, with the notion of buying a 4 wheel drive and camper trailer and a 12 month trip to explore our adopted country, Not an easy thing to do as we had to start from scratch, simple things like knife, fork, s...

XENIA — Top feeder calf showmanship honors were handed out Sunday in one of the first shows of the Greene County Fair.
Chloe Brown, 11, daughter of Cassi Butler and Brent Brown, took first place in junior showmanship. Her sister, Aubree, 8, took second place in the class.
Hunter Ratliff, 17, of Cedarville, son of Tim and April Ratliff, took first place in the senior division.
For judge Doug Smith, who raises Simmental cattle in Winchester, Ind., winners needed to be exhibitors who "paid attention to their animal, (knew) where the judge was at all times and be very ring-aware."
Ratliff has been showing steers and feeder calves for seven years. He also brought a steer project to the fair.
Ratliff will be a senior at Cedarville High School this coming school year. Following high school, he hopes to attend the Air Force Academy and has begun the application process.
For Chloe Brown, it's "good" to win, and enjoys showing and cleaning her feeder calf.
"I have an easy calf," she said.
It was difficult for Aubree to take second place to her sister and sat tearfully in mom Cassi's lap following the win, but after some coaxing said she liked being in the ring and showing her animal.
The Brown sisters both attend Edgewood Elementary.

Best 3TB Hard Drive for RAID - WD or Hitachi?
Hey all,
I know I have posted before about backup storage for video, but what I'm looking to purchase now is strictly to be used as a work volume, so I figure it deserves its own thread.
I'm looking to buy an 8-drive RAID 5 volume. I've pretty much settled on this enclosure, unless anyone has a better suggestion.
My main concern is over which is the best hard drive that fits within my budget. I think I've narrowed it down to two: Hitachi Deskstar 3TB and Western Digital Red. Unfortunately, the Hitachi Ultrastar drives do not fit within my budget.
Seagate is off the list because it seems their warranties have dwindled to only one year, and both of these offer 3-year warranties. For the last couple years I've been working on three separate internal hard drives - all Hitachi Deskstars (2x 3TB and 1x 2TB). I've been extremely happy with them. No faults or errors, and they're silent and fast.
However I'm also considering the WD Red for it being NAS-optimized. I know the drives are slower at 5400rpm, but given that I've been working off single drives to date, an 8-drive RAID 5 should be far and away faster regardless of whether the drives spin at 7200rpm or 5400rpm. Right? Most of the footage I edit is only 720p, and at the very most I'd be editing a 3-camera 1080p project.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! And as a side note... it's really depressing how much more drives cost these days... the Hitachi's are currently going for $45 more than I paid over a year ago.
EDIT: While the (3) reviews on B&H for the WD Red were good, looks like there are lots of reports on Newegg saying there are severe quality control problems with them now. Maybe I just answered my own question...

Mixed views on Seagate, but...
I recently updated my small NAS with three 3TB Seagate drives leaving one older 2 TB WD in place.
I replaced the other 2 TB drives with the Seagate Constellation ES.2 drives. They come with a 5 year warranty. Just FYI.

First off, save yourself some cash on the 8-bay enclosure! That one you picked is way too much.
This one does the same thing for a much better price.
I have an identical box built by Sans Digital instead of Rosewill, but it's the same box fitted with mini-SAS instead of eSATA.
Wait a second... So you're telling me anything that happens in the sky is legal, and there's a giant crime-blimp flying around this place? I don't know how I missed that.
|Oct 12, 2012, 12:11 AM
EDIT: According to your signature, you have an Areca PCI-E RAID controller card? Do you use that with your Sans Digital enclosure? As I understand it, the PCI-E controller card that comes with the DatOptic Enclosure is what makes up the majority of the cost difference. Does that sound about right to you?

You could get this Areca card for $570, the same 8-bay box I have (I found it for $399) and have twice the speed for $900 as the $700 one you linked.
Here's the box I have, in black. (Mine is silver.)
I also swapped out the blue LED-lit exhaust fan with a no-light, quieter Noctua fan, and it's much better.

|Oct 12, 2012, 12:56 AM
Also, what are your thoughts on this enclosure? Another Areca product, but with the RAID controller built into the case. Of course it's more expensive, but - money well spent, or no?
|Oct 12, 2012, 01:20 AM
The Areca all-in-one package you linked is fine, but I prefer to spend less for the same performance, which is why I went the way I did.
In fact, I think I just answered that mystery. It seems the RAID card they give you is x4 lane, whereas the Areca is x8 lane. That would be half the possible speed right there.

|Oct 12, 2012, 01:45 AM
I think I may have confused myself. I linked you to this Areca product as a comparable option, but price-wise I was l looking at this which is not much more than the combined Areca card and Sans Digital case you recommended - but this one is not mini-SAS. So it looks like your recommendation is a much bigger savings than I thought. I've still got at least 2-3 weeks before my purchase, but I think you've got me headed in the right direction. Thanks!
|Oct 12, 2012, 02:13 AM
The first 16-lane slot has my 5870 GPU, and the second 16-lane slot has my Areca RAID card. Since the Areca is x8, it runs on 8 lanes x 500MB/sec = 4000MB/second max possible data speed (though I'm sure I'll never see that.) An x4 (4 lane) card can only go half as fast as an x8 lane card can.
This doesn't exactly explain why DatOptic only says the thing will do about 540MB/second maximum, though. They talk about combining two of those systems using sixteen SATA III disks, and still only getting "up to 1000MB/second." I got 101MB/second more using only eight SATA II disks. Someone who knows the DatOptic system will have to explain that one, but from the looks of it, there is a better way.

A bit dated but the following quote is from the Backblaze blog:
"The Hitachi 3TB drive (Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 HDS5C3030ALA630) is our current favorite for both its low power demand and astounding reliability"
I figured that if a Cloud Backup company likes these drives, they are going to be good for me too. Needless to say I use these in my Synology 2411 :-)
|Oct 12, 2012, 02:32 PM
|Oct 12, 2012, 03:05 PM
I know you plan on making a RAID 5, so the second point might not be that valuable to you, but I think the on-board cache helps with speed quite a bit. My card came with 1GB of cache, but is upgradable to 4GB. 1GB is working fine for me so far, and I think it's very important. I also have a BBU (battery backup unit) attached to the RAID card... another great feature of Areca cards.
I think it's worth digging into this before you decide to go with a cheaper card. There are reasons they cost more, and they become critical when something goes wrong.
You have decided to make the move from backup storage use to working data use. That means you REALLY want to have fast, reliable data... unless it's really just for a hobby, and you don't mind losing the whole array for a day or two while you rebuild the array and reload the data from backups. I use mine for my paychecks and survival, so both reliability and speed are very important to me. I have two massive APC UPS units, one for the Mac Pro and RAID box, the other for monitors and other bits. If I pull the plugs, the entire system will continue to run for 45 minutes before I get down to the last battery bars. Further, the BBU on the Areca card ensures that no data loss occurs should I lose power. Might be overkill for you, but these are things to consider.
Wait a second... So you're telling me anything that happens in the sky is legal, and there's a giant crime-blimp flying around this place? I don't know how I missed that.
|Oct 12, 2012, 03:51 PM
Also, how do you connect a battery backup directly to the RAID card? Any reason to do that in addition to having a backup on the Mac beyond just redundancy?
|Oct 12, 2012, 04:38 PM
My RAID 6 is 12TB, and you saw how fast it is. I have a feature-length film and dozens of other client projects on the array, and only use about 6TB. I have a lot of spare external and internal disks that I use to back up what I need to, and those Hitachi 4TB 5k4000 disks are great for that as well. Only $250 on Amazon!
The extra BBU is redundancy, and you could get away with skipping it. In case of power failure, it will keep the data in the cache from disappearing, so that when you power the machine back up, it can finish without losing anything. It's not the same purpose as the UPS(s), but if something goes wrong, it's another level of protection. Say the UPS fails, you pull the wrong plug from it, or you've fallen asleep during a render and the power goes out, your UPS dies, and you were unaware... the BBU will last 72 hours or so.
Wait a second... So you're telling me anything that happens in the sky is legal, and there's a giant crime-blimp flying around this place? I don't know how I missed that.

I'm planning on then taking my existing 2x 3TB internal Hitachi's and setting up a RAID 1 as a backup volume for whatever projects I'm currently working on.
Sounds like 8x4TB for is what I want for a RAID 6 volume of around 22 TB, if I can come up with the extra budget. I wonder if it's worth holding out for any possible sales on 4TB drives on Black Friday?
|Jun 2, 2013, 08:18 PM
Using Raid-5 on such a large array is almost guaranteed to end in losing all your data. Raid-5 is not safe, not even remotely so with todays HDD sizes. Use Raid-6 as a minimum.
|Aug 16, 2013, 02:45 PM
Look at the video:
Most mistakes that creates problem with RAID5 are:
- Remove the WRONG drive
- Shut-down the RAID and replace the drive <--- Incorrect
It should be:
- Identified the drive.
- Just hot-swap the failed drive. DO NOT shut down the raid.
I have my eBOX-N 10TB RAID5 over 4yrs 24/7 - replaced ONE HDD

I love WD.
My sucess with them has been the best, especially compared to Seagate.
Plus, WD was awesome the two times a drive died with in warranty. They sent me a label, I sent them the drive and a week later I had a new one.
try this:
take an empty pop can, place it on the floor, smash it flat, now try to pull it back to how it was.
see how it looks like crap? that's called compression
|Aug 17, 2013, 06:33 AM
RAID6 will at least give you a bit of breathing room, should a disk failure occur. If the data is mission critical then you should really be looking at RAID10 or 50 at the very least.
|Aug 18, 2013, 08:42 PM
|Aug 19, 2013, 03:43 PM
That is why you have TLER, ECR circuitry in the HDD.
If you have a BAD ERC circuitry like Seagate 7200.11, then whole HDD will freeze, which is you would know right away
Otherwise, you should not worry about that.
All of those 2^14 bit is sensation news.
BTW, do not believe whatever you read! Be skeptical.

Of course I'm sceptical, but I've heard of enough Raid-5 rebuild failures to be wary of using it.

I use WD Red 3TB drives in my RAID5 array - never had any issues whatsoever. Highly recommended.

Like today I have a customer who has 16x 3TB as 42TB RAID5+HS
One drive failed it grabs the HS and rebuild the RAID.
But my client saw LEDs flashed, he panics and shuts down the system in the middle of the raid rebuild.
He removes a GOOD drive, base on the IT at HQ office, the whole thing crashed.
He calls me, I was able to remote in and saw the issue ask him to put back the drive
The RAID went back to rebuild.
What i'm saying is RAID5/6 will be as good as the person maintain it.

To reach the traverse trail to Smoke Tree Canyon, Halford advises, after that 0.9-mile point, to "stay near the ridge on the right side of the wash. After another 0.3 mile, look for the palo verde tree on the right with several rock cairns next to it that mark the beginning of the traverse trail."
The Moly Mine might really have been the Mollie Mine, according to Lowell and Diana Lindsay in "The Anza-Borrego Desert Region." Phil Brigandi, author of "Borrego Beginnings: Early Days in the Borrego Valley 1910-1960," believes that Mollie Mine is its proper name.
Mollie Clark, a niece of Borrego pioneer "Doc" Beaty, and her husband, Frank, had a home in Palo Verde around 1930, Brigandi wrote. Frank had found a promising vein of quartz on the east side of Palo Verde Wash, and blasted two 50-foot-long tunnels on each side of it, but gave up around 1932. "Over the years, Mollie became Molly, then Moly, and some people decided it must have been a molybdenum mine," wrote Brigandi.
The Cahuilla mined, too, when they went to Wonderstone Wash to collect wonderstones to make arrowheads.
I made it about 1.75 miles up the canyon, but never saw these other faint trails. When the wash became increasingly rocky and harder to follow, I decided to turn back.
I found my way that far with the help of those rock cairns or ducks — stacked rocks that hikers have left to show the way. The word "cairn" is Scottish and simply means a pile of rocks.
Cairns, according to some definitions, are larger man-made piles that rise to 2 feet or higher, whereas ducks or duckies are man-made stacks, usually of three stones, that may include a pointed rock aimed in the trail direction. I followed several rock stacks of three or four that were very reassuring as I navigated through the multitude of wash paths.
Finding the way back was made clearer when I found those ducks. It's easy to get off the track, however, and dragging my stick to leave my own trail helped, too.
I saw two cactuses that are somewhat rare, but fairly common in the Palo Verde Canyon, according to the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association (www.abdnha.org): the diamond cactus, also called the pencil cholla, which caught me when I brushed too close, forcing me to pull out its spines from my leg; and the cottontop cactus, also called Mohave mound cactus, which grows in spreading clumps of tiny barrel shapes. Both of these sport yellow blooms in spring.
And even though I made my way back a little differently from the way I had come, finding the highway is thankfully easy.

Life is short so make the best of it
Not really sure what to put here but here goes. My friends would describe me as kind, outgoing and funny if you can deal with a little sarcasm now and again. I live my life by trying not to let things bother me that I have no control over and it has worked so far. I love being outdoors and doing anything outdoorsy whether it is fishing in the spring, crabbing in the summer or hunting in the fall and winter. I am also up for a good camping trip or hiking anytime of the year. Some of the other things I like to do is cooking (always up for a new recipe), working on old cars, going to sporting or racing events, gardening, concerts, and traveling. I am currently going to UMUC to finish up my double bachelors in Business Administration and Cyber-security. I have a little way to go yet but I am determined to get it done. I try to get my school work done during the week so I can relax and do things that I like on the weekends. I guess you could say that I work hard and play hard but you only live once so I try to enjoy every minute of it. Anyway enough about me, what I am looking for in someone. This is a tough one to answer. I am looking for someone who is not afraid to speak their mind and someone who has a great sense of humor. A girl that can make me laugh and can drink a beer is a plus in my book. I am also looking for someone who loves the outdoors as much as I do, someone who can be my best friend and let me know when i am wrong. Someone that can enjoy the little things in life and look at the positives in any situation. If you want to know a little more just send me a message and let me know
Camping , Cooking , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing
Auto racing / Motorcross, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Golf, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Bombing Iran for votes, the strange path of a dumb idea
- By Marc Lynch
Marc Lynch is associate professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University, where he is the director of the Institute for Middle East Studies and of the Project on Middle East Political Science. He is also a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. He is the author of The Arab Uprising (March 2012, PublicAffairs).
He publishes frequently on the politics of the Middle East, with a particular focus on the Arab media and information technology, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, and Islamist movements.
David Broder has raised some eyebrows with his bizarre Washington Post column arguing "with strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran's ambition to become a nuclear power, [Obama] can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs. This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve." It should only be surprising to those who haven't been paying attention, though. Leaving aside the truly odd ideas about the economy, Broder is actually offering a warmed over, mainstream version of the argument coined in August by former Bush Middle East adviser Elliott Abrams that "the Obama who had struck Iran and destroyed its nuclear program would be a far stronger candidate, and perhaps an unbeatable one." Since then, each time the argument pops up I've tagged it on Twitter with "this idea was stupid enough when Elliott Abrams wrote it in August."
Broder's column is an interesting study in how really dumb ideas bounce around Washington D.C. Fortunately, it's not an idea that seems to have any support at all in the Obama White House. Unlike Abrams (who it's fair to assume does not wish Obama well in November 2012) and Broder (who… well, it's anyone's guess), the Obama team can see perfectly clearly that the American people have no appetite for a third major war in the Middle East and that launching a war with massive strategic consequences for short-term political gain would be epically irresponsible. They find this argument ridiculous. Even if they were primarily interested in their electoral fortunes in designing Iran policy, they would quickly see that such an Abrams-approved stratagem would wipe out their support on the left and gain absolutely zero votes on the right.
Now, I'm very worried that Obama's Iran strategy will lock the U.S. into ever more hawkish rhetoric which ties their hands and paves the way to future military confrontations. I think that serious people disagree about the likely effectiveness of sanctions or of diplomacy, and that all are struggling to find meaningful off-ramps in the glide towards ever more stringent and militarized regional containment. I worry about a lot on Iran policy. But this isn't one of the things that I worry about. I don't think that anyone in the Obama White House takes remotely seriously the epically bad Abrams-Broder advice to pursue military showdown with Iran for political advantage. This may offer an intriguing window into how Abrams thought about foreign policy in the Bush White House, and a depressing case study in the circulation of ideas in Washington, but it tells us nothing at all about how the Obama administration is thinking about Iran.

Re: Glass door for the view
Nice door!
Where did you get the handles?
Re: Glass door for the view
They are handles cut from welder brushes, i picked them up cheap from HarborFreight Tools. If you don't have an HFT close they can be had online or just about anywhere you can buy a welder.
Mark,Dino, I am on the road. I will post some photos and steps when I get home this evening.
Re: Glass door for the view
Dino, Mark,
To make the door you will need access to a welder, I have a cheap $135 arc welder and the aptitude to match, my welding work is passable because what I lack in welding skills I make up for with mad grinding skills to smooth out those malformed joints. Point is, you don't need welding skills to pull this off. Also, there are many on the site that know welding far better than I so hopefully where I go astray others will jump in and correct or suggest a better approach.
To begin with you will want to create a template that reflects the arch space to use as a guide for the bend. I bent the tube for the top arch shape with a pipe bender moving the pipe about one inch per bend and with each bend barely bending the pipe, moving the full distance of the arch and then repeating the process multiple times to gradually move the tube into shape. The pipe needs to be bent prior to creating the channel for the window otherwise the channel will distort with the bend. If you lack a pipe bender a vertical cinder block will serve admirably positioning the tube between the inside bottom and middle support and pulling up (using the same slow process described above) to make the bend. After the arch is bent, all the pieces for arch bottom and sides were cut in rough length and placed on the template for position, the corner miters marked in pencil and cut with the grinder with a metal cutting wheel installed.
The channels on the tubing were cut using two cuts lengthwise to create a space to hold the glass. The width of the channel was about 1/32 larger than the thickness of the glass, the channel is the only thing holding the glass in place. On the three straight pieces (bottom and two sides) I placed a ½" piece of scrap plywood next to the ½" square tube (both plywood and tube were on top of non-skid rubber) and used a corked-backed metal ruler as a straight edge to guide the cut. The plywood was used so I had a wider surface to rest the ruler upon. Using a cutting wheel on the grinder, I made several light scoring passes against the straight edge until I had formed a trough deep enough for the cut to follow and then a few more passes with a heavier touch to complete the cut. I then spun the tube and repeated the process to cut the other side of the channel. The long bottom piece for the door was cut end to end. The two side pieces were cut from the top end to 1" from the bottom end (inside of the miter) . The incomplete cut was necessary so that the channel did not extend into the sides of the draft space.
The arch is a bit trickier. First, clean the inside with fine sandpaper and steel wool, then mark with pencil the placement of the channel. Take four lengths of gorilla tape (better than duct tape for this purpose) each sufficient in length to line the inside of the arch. Stack each piece on top of the other on a flat surface that will be kind to the tape when you pull it off (I used some metal flashing I had on hand}. Once you have the four layers of tape in place use a straight edge to cut the tape down the middle lengthwise, using a utility knife with a new blade. Peel up the tape and place the newly created edge carefully along the penciled outline of the channel on the arch. Use the tape as your straight edge for the light scoring with the grinders cutting blade and once you have the trough clearly made, go to town.
The bottom channel tube for the glass and the bottom tube to the entire door were welded in place and cleaned up without the glass installed. The welding of handles to feet, feet to bottom tube and top and bottom slide guides were also in place and cleaned up prior to the glass being added.
For the arch corner welds the glass was slid in place before welding. I had the entire door, front and back, wrapped with a number of saturated towels (cold water). Only the ½" square space being welded was exposed and dry. I hit the corners with multiple two-second welds which were immediately cooled with a wet cloth. I have no idea if this was the proper approach, but I seem to have strong welds and no cracks in the glass. If I had it to do over again, I would ask for the folks at One Day Glass to throw in a piece of scrap that I could experiment with.
The feet to the oven are cut into the bottom tube (to be flush with the bottom of the tube) using the cutting blade on the grinder so that there isn't a 1/8" gap along the bottom of the door between and outside the feet.
The upper and lower guides to the draft doors are simply "L" shaped pieces cut lengthwise from the square tubes (using an approach identical to cutting the channels) the bottom of the "L" is 1/8" and the front facing side is ¼".
Good luck, holler if you run into problems.

Re: Glass door for the view
Thanks Jim, Your glass door manufacturing method seems workable.
I'm going to keep on the lookout for a pre-made channel of some sort and what do you think about high temp rope seal and/or waterglass shoved in the channel to hold the glass in place?
Thanks again for making something so useful and sharing.
