I saw some pictures on Instagram about a year ago of the color run. It looked like so much fun I knew I had to do it myself. I started planting seeds in Ken and Syd's head and we finally were able to do our own color run yesterday in South Bend. We had the perfect day for it too. Warm, sunny and no wind.
We got there about an hour before the race started and there were already so many people there. We heard later that there were 7000 people doing the race that day! Before the run, there was music and zumba dancing. We saw people running in all kinds of outfits -- angel wings, wedding dresses, and wigs.
|Pre race clean picture.
|Our race packets came with tattoos, so we all had one that said HAPPY, and one was a swirly color pattern.
|This is a great run for people of all ages and fitness levels. It's not timed, and no one cares if you run at all.
|Ken showing off his real tattoos, and some temporary ones too :)
|Yellow was the first zone and I got it pretty good on one side.
|Next was pink and everybody got in on that color action
|The big pink cloud in the background is where the color zone was. Volunteers squirt or throw colored cornstarch on all the people as they go thru the zone.
|Ken had some nice Smurf teeth after the blue zone.
|The color just kept getting more and more as we went along.
|Post race selfie of all the color I collected.
|Every race packet comes with a color pack of your own. At the end of the run everyone gathers back in the starting area and throws their color packs all at the same time. It was crazy!
|Ken after the color throw at the end
|All colored up. It felt really nice -- the color was just cornstarch dyed to be one of 6 colors -- yellow, pink, orange, green, blue and purple
|The cloud of color when everyone threw their color packs at the end of the run.
|Side by side before and after. It was surprising where we got deposits of color -- inside our socks, under our shirts where we'd sweated from wearing a race number, and even in the underwear!
The biggest ordeal was scrubbing the color off in the shower. It took about 15 minutes of hard scrubbing to get most of it off. Ken and Syd had blue splotches all over that just wouldn't come off. They're stained forever I guess :)

Vegetarian Thai Sticky Rice Dumpling
April 30th 2014By Tamar Genger MA, RD
I have been wanting to make a filled sticky rice package in banana leaves or lotus leaves for a while. I finally found the day to do it, but I didn't have banana leaves so I substituted corn husks, not as authentic, but it worked and was delicious. Very comforting and perfect prep ahead dish. I could see this being great for a Shabbat side dish too.
Mango with Sticky Rice
February 13th 2012By Tamar Genger MA, RD
I am not a huge fan of rice pudding, but coconut sticky rice I have come to love especially along side really juicy and tart mango. The recipe takes some forethought but is pretty easy to make and my whole family loves it. If you can find palm sugar that is the best, but regular sugar will do.

Monday morning arrived with a scare in Waxahachie, Texas this week. The Magnablend Chemical Central Facility suffered a fire that raged out of control, consuming most of their complex. Two workers were reported injured and a massive cloud poured out for hours from the burning chemicals. The local elementary school and Navarro College next to the plant were evacuated. Two days later our photographs show that the plant was still smoldering as workers tried to clean up the wreckage and contamination. It was very fortunate that no one was killed in the disaster, but this is a glaring example of the dangers posed by our chemical infrastructure. This story garnered national attention because of the impressive visuals, not because chemical accidents are rare, just today a train derailed and some rail cars of ethanol exploded, evacuating local residents. Every week chemical plants have fires, leaks, explosion, and malfunctions that put workers and communities at risk. It is only a matter of time before one of these accidents turns quickly catastrophic when a toxic gas is release that can kill or injure thousands. Of continuing concern from this disaster are the chemicals that ran offsite into the ground, and the chemicals that were released into the air. Region Six of the Environmental Protection Agency has said that there is not "significant public health threat," but I'm not convinced that the chemicals that have gone offsite in run off or in the massive cloud of black smoke are safe for those who are exposed, including the local ecology.The risk of a catastrophic chemical disaster is unacceptable. There are safer alternatives that would greatly reduce or eliminate this risk, but most chemical corporations are refusing to use them. Not only that, but Republicans, like Representative Joe Barton whose district includes Waxahachie, are working for these companies to keep current weak regulations in place. That's why Greenpeace is asking Congress to pass legislation that would require disaster prevention at high risk facilities, and to vote against legislation that would perpetuate the dangerous status quo.

The EPA did not know what chemicals were there until it was already to late, Ellis counties LEPC dropped the ball. Nonone knew of the risks until 2 weeks after the fire. The EPA only tested and released results for particulate matter.
We need better testing done, can anyone tell us if there are going to be long term affects on our community. I personally have been suffering severe respiratory issuses since the day of the fire. There has not been a toxicologist who can assess the damage from the some 95 chemicals which 23 were listed on a tier 2 report meaning there was at least 230,000 pounds of toxic chemicals burned.

I had Smart Lipo on my inner and outer thighs a week ago. I am draining (bright yellow discharge) out of one hole. Not a lot of drainage, but enough to change a bandage 1x a day. Do you think this is an issue? It has been a week. The incision looks healthy, it isn't red or anything. Do you think this is a problem?

The Milestone Hotel Rating: 5.0 Pearls
The Milestone is perhaps the most famous boutique hotel in London, and certainly lives up to its expectations, with exquisitely designed rooms and exceptional service. The service is where the hotel really shines, as each member of staff is superbly trained, which helps ensure guests get the first-rate luxury experience for which The Milestone is known. With a health club complete with spa, fitness center, resistance pool, and sauna, and a convenient location for London's most exclusive shopping, it's difficult to find something wrong with this hotel.
The Lanesborough Rating: 5.0 Pearls
The Lanesborough, a St. Regis Hotel, is a luxurious property overlooking Hyde Park in Knightsbridge. The 93 rooms have palatial bathrooms, big flat-screen TVs, and free butler service. Stately decor is inspired by the early 19th century, and free Wi-Fi and laptops are available in every room. Some rooms have great views of Hyde Park. Hotel highlights include fine dining at the Michelin-rated restaurant Apsleys, a small spa studio and fitness studio, a ground floor piano bar, and traditional afternoon tea. An excellent staff, luxurious touches, and exclusive location on the busiest corner of Hyde Park make the Lanesborough a great luxury pick.
Baglioni Hotel London Rating: 5.0 Pearls
This boutique hotel offers an excellent location on the southwest tip of Hyde Park overlooking Kensington Gardens. The individually decorated, luxe 67 rooms all showcase classic Italian touches as well as dramatic contemporary design. Perks include free Wi-Fi and Illy espresso machines, as well as extra hotel features like the spa and fitness center, and the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Brunello, is a destination in itself. For an extra touch of exclusivity, this hotel also offers free chauffeur service in a Jaguar within a 1.5-mile radius. Without a pool or a Michelin-starred restaurant, it's just a step behind the Langham and the Lanesborough but is nonetheless one of the most luxurious hotels in the city.
The Halkin by COMO Rating: 5.0 Pearls
A 41-room boutique hotel with generous amounts of space, the Halkin exudes luxury -- from its distinctive Italian-cum-Asian interior design to its marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Sumptuous and spacious guest rooms literally offer convenience at the touch of a button, as all have wall consoles for calling the butler and other services. Even the location is upscale, as the property stands in the tony Belgravia district and is just a two-minute walk from Buckingham Palace. Guests also have access to the spa at famed sister hotel The Metropolitan, since the Halkin does lack amenities such as a spa and pool.
Egerton House Hotel Rating: 5.0 Pearls
This exquisite luxury boutique hotel with just 28 rooms offers the elegance of a different time in England's history. Located in the upscale Knightsbridge neighborhood, Egerton House Hotel is a short walk from the famous Harrods Department store and renowned London museums. Rooms in this historic townhouse are individually decorated in rich fabrics, and have opulent bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, champagne on arrival, and candles at turndown. The common spaces are just as special, with a notable art collection -- including works by Picasso and Matisse -- and a gorgeous drawing room for afternoon tea.
Dukes Hotel Rating: 5.0 Pearls
Dukes Hotel is a pricey, prestigious 90-room boutique delivering an updated take on classic English luxury. It's quietly opulent and features plenty of special boutique amenities, such as a cognac and cigar garden, and a Drawing Room where traditional afternoon tea is served. The most notable feature, however, is Dukes Bar, frequented by James Bond creator Ian Fleming, and the birthplace of the famous "Shaken, not stirred" line. (The bar is, naturally, famous for its martinis -- but note that there's a strict dress code.) Rooms have upscale decor that varies between room types; lower level rooms have fresh ivory and white decor, while suites blend classic and contemporary styles. All are sophisticated.
Sanderson Rating: 5.0 Pearls
The Sanderson is an edgy hotel with original and extravagant design by Philippe Starck. Innovative rooms feature a mostly all-white color palette designed without interior walls. There is an emphasis here on texture, seen in the layers of sheer curtains that divide different areas of the room. Design touches include carpets with Voltaire's handwriting and luxurious bathrooms, some with separate walk-in showers and freestanding soaking tubs. There are many hotel highlights beyond the rooms, including an all-white tranquil spa with 14 treatment rooms and meditation beds. A contemporary fitness room has individual TVs at cardio machines, and a billiard room features 1950s stained glass. The restaurant, Suka, serves Malaysian food, and a Mad Hatter's themed afternoon tea is served in the striking courtyard.

For the third time in less than a week, a student brought a weapon to a Dubuque school.
Officials say the incidents are unrelated. It's the 6th time this school year that has happened.
On Friday, May 9 a student discovered an airsoft pistol in another student's back pack at Marshall Elementary School. On Monday May 12, at Prescott Elementary school a child brought a pocket knife into the school building. On Wednesday May 14, a parent spotted a BB gun inside a student's car near Senior High School.
Dubuque Schools Administrators say there isn't an increased number of a student bringing weapons to school, but rather an increase in communication about those incidents.
As Director of Communications, It's Mike Cyze's job to let people know what's happening at all of Dubuque's 19 schools.
Cyze said. We always want to be upfront and transparent about that and get the actual facts out there as soon as we can.
The school board created Cyze's position two years ago to help schools better get information to parents. Since then he started sending e-mails to parents and the media whenever weapons show up at a school.
Cyze said, We just default to sharing that information with folks. Usually when it happens other students know about it. Word travels and we want to make sure folks know what the actual threat was.
Cyze says because a BB gun and actual firearm look so much alike, administrators get police involved if someone spots a gun.
We treat them as real weapons until we know otherwise. If they are non-lethal it's hard to tell that in an instant, said Cyze.
If a student brings a weapon to school, he or she is automatically suspended while police and the principal investigate. Punishment after the investigation period varies from case to case.

My goal was to understand the subjective understandings that medical couples have about their lives. My interest in career and home life dates back fifteen years to the time that I completed a master's thesis on medical and law students. After taking a rather extended hiatus which included marrying a physician, having children, and divorcing a physician, I decided to compare my own experience with the experiences of other medical wives. As I reviewed the published literature on medical couples, it soon became evident that the trend included a rather bleak view of physicians and their marriages. The overall theme that ties together the several hundred articles and books on the topic reflects a pathologizing perspective discussed in the familiar deficit descriptions depicted in the medical model of doctors' and their spouses' personalities. Such descriptions include the doctor as a compulsive, workaholic, emotionally distant robot and his wife as a dependent shell of a being whose most characteristic feature is that of an emotional cripple. By the time I exhausted the literature on the topic of medical marriages, I knew that a significant element of the research was missing. I knew that the research should invite the voices of the couples themselves and explore these couples' lives by exploring the perspectives, meanings, understandings, descriptions, and interpretations the couples themselves brought forth. I wanted what ethnographic research typically calls an emic or native perspective. The goal of emic understanding is elaborated in hermeneutic and phenomenologic methodologies (Kvale, 1983; Packer, 1985).
The "hermeneutic circle" described by Schleiermacher (Palmer, 1969) became a useful concept in my methodology since it addressed the ways in which two people in conversation, or a reader reading a text, mutually transform each other's ideas through continuing interaction. Gergen (1988) uses "the dance" in describing the ever changing and continuous movement of partners, their relatedness and their reasoning in social interchange. Additionally, there is an internal dialogue in the hermeneutic circle in which the researcher continually uses metaphors, explanatory principles, and prior knowledge to understand what is read or heard in an interview. Geertz (1983) uses the baseball game as an example of this aspect of the hermeneutic circle (see p. 69). Geertz (1983) further emphasizes how we can know another's thought through our own words and mind. He describes an "intellectual movement,....a conceptual rhythm...a continuous dialectical tacking between the most local of local detail and the most global of global structure (p. 69).
I chose seven couples who varied by the following: medical specialties, spouses' careers, ages, stages in life in terms of years married, number of marriages within couple, and number and ages of children. All but one of the couples depicted the traditional marriage where the husband was the physician. I conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews centering around issues that I found in the literature, around my own preconceived notions, prejudices and biases, and around ideas that the couples brought up or focused on. I had no goal or particular hypothesis to prove or disprove as would be along the lines of quantitative research methods. I merely wanted to hear the ways the couples managed what appeared to be stressful lives, how they balanced busy careers and hectic, demanding family lives, and what methods or avenues they took to create workable or not so workable lives.
My creativity was set in motion when the struggle to utilize a hermeneutic methodology collided with the challenge to interpret the transcribed interviews. How was I to determine what was important enough to discuss and what was not? I needed signs, indications, manifestations, symbols that I eventually called "features of significance." These features tapped revealing information of difference- difference from my presuppositions, prejudices, and biases; difference from what was discussed and interpreted in previous literature; and, difference from what the interviewees determined to be acceptable and mundane understandings of their lives.
Within a few days after an interview, I listened and took notes. I listened for themes of interest and began to attempt to put into my words the ways in which the spouses interpreted their lives. As I received the completed transcripts, I read each one carefully. I listened to the tapes again as I read over the transcripts. Where I noticed items of interest, I placed themal notes in the margins. Transcripts were photocopied and data that was seen as very significant was cut out and attached to index cards. Index cards were coded for identification and location in transcript. The marginal notes and the index cards served as building blocks for perceived themes. Researcher's ideas, hunches, and interpretations were kept in a journal.
A central question throughout these analyses was, "What is a theme?" How was I to recognize, invent, construct, deconstruct, reconstruct, and textualize "themes?" Some might say that anything said by an analyst is a "bias" or a "prejudice." Another voice (e.g., Gadamer, 1976) might celebrate the inner dialogue of the researcher and encourage the author to include such pondering in the text. In the spirit of this voice, I have chosen several ways to voice the themes I heard in the interviews and read in the transcripts.
Themes were identified by utilizing several features of significance. These include (from Love, 1992):
1. Repetition within and across interviews. Ideas, beliefs, concerns, and issues that one or the other or both spouses discuss repeatedly throughout the interview or/and are brought up at least once in an interview and are then again noted in other interviews are considered significant.
2. Levels and nature of affect. This includes emotion that is evident through nonverbal cues such as a sudden rise in vocal volume, change in facial expressions and other bodily movements all noted concomitantly with particular content lend significance to that content or theme.
3. Historical explanations, descriptions, and interpretations. Stories of the past that explain and justify present behaviors and meanings are considered significant.
4. Explicit and implicit interpretations. These require connections between thoughts and activities and meanings ascribed to them whether they be obvious and direct or implied and metaphoric. These interpretations are considered significant.
5. Serendipity. Behaviors and expressions of the participants that are different from what was expected, based upon my reading and experience. These unexpected surprises are significant since they allow the research to recognize ideas which have not yet been published. (pp. 123-124)
The interview transcripts were extensively annotated with identification of features of significance, as well as descriptions of my reactions to what they said and what I said. I thoroughly examined each transcript for ideas which seemed to add voices to the discussion on medical families. Also, I closely reviewed the transcripts for signs of my own transformation. As I conducted the interviews, I was intrigued, and somewhat embarrassed, by my own "slips" of the tongue and by my more personal questions of the spouses.
An example of how I used the features of significance to search for themes involves a couple where the husband was a physician and the wife was a dentist. The couple described their decision in terms of the theme "quid pro quo" as the wife assessed both hers and her husband's careers in the following:
As I said before, I mean David's career came FIRST, and so he, that was his first responsibility and mine was more part time so the kids were more my responsibility. (Love, 1992, p. 209)
Several features of significance were used here to determine the importance of this snippet. Repetition was obvious in the comment "As I said before" and also in rereading the entire transcript the theme "quid pro quo" came up on numerous occasions. Levels and nature of affect is noticeable in the word "FIRST" which is capitalized to indicate in the transcript the rise in vocal volume indicating the significance of this comment. Historical explanations was another feature of significance that was used in connecting the present behaviors and meanings to the history of the relationship. Since David's career came first and the raising of the children was the wife's responsibility for the most part, this couple found their day-to-day living to be consistent with their unwritten agreement.
I found that each couple utilized unique maneuvers to make life as liveable and enjoyable as possible. They each tried their best to conduct their lives in the most serene manner as possible. The themes that were invented through the analysis are constructs reflecting the creative solutions I noticed they used in facing the day-to-day challenges of career/family life. In re-reviewing the literature and my presuppositions and prejudices, I found a striking difference between these and what I learned from an emic perspective. As I took an insider's view, I found myself to be totally immersed in the lives of the people I studied. Finally, I began taking on an increased respect and understanding of the lives that at one time were viewed from a pathologizing, negative, and hopeless perspective.

This is the seventh in a series of RT reports on Christianity in Russia, from its arrival more than 1,000 years ago to the present day. During Soviet times the Orthodox Church endured tough times. But despite the persecution, it managed to survive and pre
After Joseph Stalin's rise to power, the war on religion took an unprecedented scope. Church services and religious books were forbidden, it was also prohibited to campaign against or criticise atheism. Orthodox priests and believers were tortured, imprisoned, sent to labour camps and executed. Many fled abroad. Thousands of churches and monasteries were taken over by the government and either destroyed or converted to secular use. New churches were not built. Practicing Orthodox Christians were restricted from prominent careers and membership in Communist organisations. The government openly sponsored and encouraged anti-religious propaganda.
By the beginning of World War II the Church structure was almost completely destroyed throughout the country. Stalin started to scale down the persecutions only after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The catastrophic course of the war forced him to mobilise all national resources for defence and seek the moral support of the Church. Without delay churches were opened for services and clergy released from prisons. The process culminated in Stalin's receiving with three chief hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1943. The meeting marked the start of a warming up in relations between the Church and the state. The key state's concession was the permission to elect a new Patriarch. But the Church still remained firmly under the state's grip.
The relationship soured again after Nikita Khrushchev took office. By the start of the 1960s the new Soviet leader kicked off his own campaign against the Church. Not as brutal as that of the 1930s, it still dealt the Russian Orthodox Church a massive blow. Anti-religious propaganda gathered pace, a new wave of imprisonments and church closures began, while Khrushchev publicly promised to show the last remaining priest on Soviet television.
Things started looking brighter after Khrushchev was ousted from power in 1964. Yet, anti-religious drives were still frequent and the Church and the government remained on unfriendly terms until 1988. In practice, the key side to the story was that openly religious people couldn't join the Communist Party, barring them from holding any political office. But restrictions didn't stop many across the country from remaining devoted worshippers.
Some Orthodox believers and even priests took part in the dissident movement, actively challenging the established regime. Among the prominent figures of that time was Father Alexander Men, a theologian, scholar and writer. Often referred to as the architect of Russia's religious renewal, he lectured extensively, gaining access to radio and television and becoming a nationally known figure. Murdered outside his home in 1990, Men is widely seen as a martyr by Russia's Orthodox community.

Manufactured Tie-Downs
FHA/VA Foundation Requirements
To obtain an FHA or VA insured loan on a manufactured home (including Reverse Mortgage and Refinancing) a structural engineer must certify that the foundation meets the HUD guidelines specified in…The Permanent Foundation Guidelines for Manufactured Homes (Sept.1996). These guidelines help to establish a national standard of consistency regarding manufactured home installation.
Manufactured/mobile homes must meet national standards regarding all construction aspects before leaving the factory. However, installation standards vary from state to state. Additionally, manufactured homes are unique in that they can either be titled as "personal" property or "real" property. In Arizona, the classification of "personal" or "real" property is determined by how the property is taxed. Since the state/county requirements vary, the structural engineer certification letter helps to provide national consistency.
If a structural engineer cannot certify the foundation of an existing manufactured home as meeting the guidelines, then Manufactured Tie-Downs can provide approved engineered foundation systems that can be retrofitted in combination with the existing structural components. Manufactured Tie-Downs can provide both the necessary retrofits and can assist in the engineering certification process.
In addition to the Engineer's Certification that the home is on a permanent foundation, the following are other requirements that must be met:
To be acceptable for FHA/VA financing, a manufactured home dwelling must:

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Orange County Spoilers: Vicki Blames Tamra For Failed Friendship
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 8, Episode 2 ended with Tamra Barney's fiance, Eddie Judge, telling her not to let former BFF Vicki Gunvalson back into her life. Will Tamra take his words to heart?
In this sneak peek of RHOC Season 8, Episode 3, it looks like the truce between Vicki and Tamra might be a short lived one.
First, everyone seems to be baby crazy as Alexis meets Vicki's newborn grandson and Gretchen contemplates having kids of her own. Meanwhile, Heather and Terry clash over the division of parenting duties.
We also get to meet Lydia McLaughlin, the newest addition to the Real Housewives of Orange County cast. "I always get what I want, because I always get what I want," she tells the camera. "I say it like it is." Hm, we have a feeling that could come in handy with the group of ladies she's about to join — or get her into a lot of trouble!
Saving the best for last, we also see the beginnings of some serious friction as Vicki essentially blames Tamra for the failure of their friendship. To make matters worse, Vicki then invites Tamra's nemesis Alexis Bellino to the opening of Tamra's new gym. Will the gesture send Tamra over the edge? You'll have to tune in next week to find out!

Step 1: You Will Need:
1 10 count roll of Pillsbury Country Style Biscuits (I am sure other brands or styles would work, but the times/temps given may need tweaking)
Room temperature butter (for ease of use, cold is fine too)
Brown sugar
Small bowl for combining the sugar and cinnamon
A baking sheet of some kind (I used a pizza tray)
Spoon for mixing and portioning, knife for the butter
An oven preheated to 425F if using a dark or nonstick pan, 450F otherwise.
I did not measure out specific quantities of sugar and cinnamon ... I used a small ramekin, filled it most of the way with brown sugar and a generous covering of cinnamon and then stirred it to combine.
Step 2: Prep the biscuit dough
Step 3: Top the biscuit dough
Use your fingers to smooth the sugar mix toward the edges if you need too. Then top with half a pat of butter. Centering it or not centering it is not important as it will move around as you work with it ... as long as the butter is on there it is fine.

Nice 2 x 8" Sharpening Stone in Wood Case
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $45.00
- Quantity Available: 1
This is a nice antique 2 x 8" sharpening stone in a larger hardwood case that surrounds it. You can flip the stone for medium and fine grit, your choice, as this stone is feature the 1/2 light brown color fine grit on one side and the darker gray/brown medium/course grit stone on the other side. Considering that this is an antique, used sharpening stone is still pretty flat, good for honing chisels and other edge tools. We note a few small edge chips, none effect use of the stone, most are small and on the fine grit side, the side shown in the first picture. The wood case measures 10" long and has a few minor cracks in it, but is made of solid stock and remain in solid condition. The wood show it's age, and has some oil staining and wear, but holds the stone well. A nice antique stone overall!

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW)-- Dana Easley's children attend Copeland Elementary School, and because her home is listed as "within walking distance," that's exactly what they have to do.
Easley says her family only has one car, which her fiance uses for work in the mornings.
She is usually able to walk her children to school, but she says most of the kids take the walk alone.
"Sometimes it'll just be a blank spot on the field. It's just kids on the field. And anyone could just pick the right moment and snatch anyone's child," Easley said.
We typed in valid addresses on the RCSS transportation website, and homes located over half a mile away were listed as "within walking distance."
Easley says she thinks the distance is too far for young children to have to walk before and after school.
Especially if they're going by themselves.
"There's just no supervision there on the back of the school house. And it just not fair," Easley said.
We reached out to the RCSS Transportation Department to find out if a bus has ever come to those areas, but we did not receive a response.

Few hours ago I've updated Transmission 1.92 to 1.93b04 via local. Once the update is done I was unable to restart Transmission so I restart Duo via web interface.
It seemed booting up normally with green Activity light blinking along with blue LED. Normally, the blue LED should stop but it keeps on blinking slowly and no Activity light and both Disk 1 & 2 green lights stay lit.
I manually shut down for a second time by keep holding a power button, released it and it shut down. Wait for a minute and turn it on again. But the symptom remain the same - blue LED keeps on blinking slowly, no activity light and both Disk 1 & 2 LED's are lit steady. Fan is woking fine.
I can't access to Frontview web interface whatsoever. Once time I got to the Frontview but it showed no data and the upper right hand says "ReadyNas null."
What can I do to fix this?

VIDEO: BlackBerry Curve 9300 caught out again
The BlackBerry Curve 9300 goes walkabout more often than Mick Dundee. We first told you about it back at the beginning of last month when a few pics were leaked. Then we brought you a video of the device a couple of weeks ago.
But because RIM is fairly rapid at taking down any unauthorised leaks of its unavailable handsets from YouTube, we thought we'd bring you the latest video of the 8520 follow up, just in case you missed the last one.
And this video's pretty good, if perhaps a little blurry. It's from a Vietnamese site originally and confirms the spec that we suspected - an optical track-pad, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a QVGA screen and 3G for more mobile web browsing.
It looks like it's running BlackBerry OS 5 and we've seen reports that that's what it will launch with (possibly on Vodafone) although the list of devices that will be BlackBerry 6 upgradable hasn't yet been published.
Have your say on the BlackBerry Curve 9300 below and check out all of our recent BlackBerry news and reviews as well whilst you're at it.

We welcome your feedback, so please contribute to our forum or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Note that usage of the USA TODAY Census API requires a developer key, and that usage is contingent upon agreement with our Terms of Use. Access to the Census data is limited for our open API, as only 2010 Census data will be accessible. If you are interested in full access to the Census API, please contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Data
Methodology: USA TODAY collected summary data files from the U.S. Census Bureau for censuses from 1790 to 2010. It extracted categories of broad interest for 35,000 of the most well-known geographical areas. The data was extensively cross-checked to allow comparisons, including revisions of geographical coding where necessary. The data was enhanced by calculating percentages and adding indexes to summarize complicated data in a single variable. One example is the USA TODAY Diversity Index, which measures on a 0-100 scale the probability that two randomly chosen people from an area will have different racial or Hispanic backgrounds.
Geographical coverage: Data is provided for the United States; the states and the District of Columbia; counties and equivalent areas (census areas and municipalities in Alaska; the District of Columbia; parishes in Louisiana and independent cities outside of any county in Md., Mo., Nev., and Va.); cities and unincorporated areas, collectively "places"; and county subdivisions in 12 states where they act as full local governments: Conn., Maine, Mass., Mich., Minn., N.H., N.J., N.Y., Pa., R.I., Vt. and Wisc. Data is provided only for geographical areas currently in existence.
Dates: Detailed data is provided from the censuses of 2000 and 2010. Limited time series are provided from the censuses of 1790-2010 for counties, states and the United States.

[[caption-width-right:313:''[[TagLine Brace Yourself]]'']]
A pay channel in the model of {{Creator/HBO}}, Showtime debuted on the market in 1976. Originally based in California, the network expanded to national markets two years later. Its original owner was the first incarnation of Viacom, which is now known as Creator/{{CBS}} Corporation, and has the Smithsonian Channel as a sister network as part of a unique deal with that institution for rights to programming involving Smithsonian exhibits and properties (blame this for why you see more programs like ''IceRoadTruckers'' on the History Channel). Showtime lags behind its rivals, HBO/Cinemax and Creator/{{Starz}}/Encore, primarily due to the other networks' stronger movie offerings; it lost the film libraries of its largest providers, Creator/{{Paramount}} Pictures (which was its corporate cousin from 1994 to 2005), MetroGoldwynMayer and Creator/LionsGate, to their own Epix in 2009, but it hasn't been hurt by it at all (while Epix toils in MyNetworkTV-esque obscurity, as several major providers refuse to carry it). However, Showtime does hold the rights to the ''{{Twilight}}'' film franchise, which they air [[AdoredByTheNetwork plenty of times]].
When it comes to original programming, however, Showtime's offerings generally rival those of HBO--especially with its big drama series, the critically acclaimed ''Series/{{Weeds}}'' (which is also AdoredByTheNetwork), and ''Series/{{Dexter}}'', and more recently ''Series/UnitedStatesOfTara'' and ''Series/{{Homeland}}''.
(Though in TheNineties, it was known more for genre shows with a reliance on RecycledTheSeries, with ''Series/StargateSG1'', ''Series/PoltergeistTheLegacy'', and a {{revival}} of ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' all starting on the network.)
Back in TheEighties one of its earliest original series was ''Shelley Duvall's Series/FaerieTaleTheatre'', a low budget but well-acted and written series that re-told classic fairy tales with all-star casts, including some of the biggest names in Hollywood. The series was so popular that it became one of the earliest series to get released on home video.
Being a premium network, it has more lenient standards when it comes to profanity and nudity (this is after all where Creator/DavidDuchovny got his start as the "host" of ''Red Shoe Diaries''); something which has been lampshaded over the years.
!!Shows featured on Showtime have included:
* ''Series/TheAffair'' (2014-present)
* ''Series/TheBigC'' (2010-2013)
* ''Series/TheBorgias'' (2011-2013)

Enterprises can register their own team in any of the 3 races: Marathon, Half Marathon and 10Km.
The DISA Gran Canaria Marathon 2015 will celebrate once again the Race by Enterprises, where the runners compete individually but at the same time they will add points for their enterprise's team.
In this already traditional category, the enterprises can register a team in the 3 races: Marathon, Half Marathon and 10Km. All employees must be officially registered and being +18 years old for the Marathon and Half Marathon and +16 years old for the 10Km on the race day.
For Mr. Lucas Bravo de Laguna, Minister of Sport of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, "this is a modality that we wanted to keep as it is an added incentive for the employees of different companies and also helps to enhance the feeling of belonging and commitment of employees to their company". "Also, it makes into a perfect day to share sports and entertainment with colleagues, away from the daily work tasks in a fun and festive atmosphere, such as the unique one of the DISA Gran Canaria Marathon," said Bravo Laguna.
There is not a maximum of runners per enterprise but there is a minimum: 2 runners in the Marathon, 4 in the Half Marathon and 6 in the 10Km race. The final time of this number of runners will count for the final classification.
Although the registration for any of the 3 races of the DISA Gran Canaria Marathon will be made individually by each runner, the enterprise is required to present a certificate before 9 January 2015 at 14:00 pm, with the names of the runners that will represent each race. Runners must be the enterprise's own staff with ongoing relationship on 25 January 25.
The withdrawn of the bib numbers for this category will be also individually from 22 to 24 January at the Expo of the DISA Gran Canaria Marathon, located in the Palacio de Congresos de Canarias, at the Auditorium Alfredo Kraus.
You can see more details and the Regulations of the Race by Enterprises of the DISA Gran Canaria Marathon in www.grancanariamaraton.com.

About us…
Nottingham City & Country Explorers Group, formerly the Nottingham Heritage Interest Group, is dedicated to encouraging people in the Nottingham area to explore all it has to offer. Too often we take it for granted, when there are many amazing, beautiful, valuable, interesting places and activities in Nottingham and the surrounding area waiting to be discovered.
Firstly, Nottingham's historical and archaeological heritage: under this city are more than 500 man-made sandstone caves, a unique feature unparalleled anywhere else in the world. And yet they have largely been forgotten, and many have been destroyed, unbeknownst to the public. We would like to preserve and promote these great attractions, and encourage the public to visit them.
Besides underground Nottingham we are also interested in the above ground heritage, such as its buildings, history, intriguing nooks and crannies, great city walks and so on.
Further afield there are many attractive villages and country areas worth visiting and come to that there are simply many overlooked pubs, cafés, restaurants, shops, parks and other features of the city landscape, which members may be intrigued to find.
Membership is free; all we ask is that you bring your enthusiasm and prepare to be delighted and educated by what secrets Nottingham and the surrounding area has to offer.

Great start to a road trip. Only game they lost was their "home" game. I'll be more than happy with a split in LA. The Dodgers are hot as the proverbial firecracker. Gonna have to play great to beat these guys.
Reds Fan Since 1971
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Just a huge win last night, IMO. The Dodgers will be tough. Reds seem to be on a roll now. Time to put a beat down on the Hollywood Hackers.

YIELD: Makes 12
For spread:
Blend cream cheese, grape leaves, and lemon juice in mini processor until grape leaves are minced and mixture is blended. Season spread to taste with salt and pepper. Can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer spread to small bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Bring spread to room temperature before using.
For fritters:
Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Mix in zucchini, parsley, and chives. Let stand until batter becomes moist, about 15 minutes. Using wet hands, shape by rounded tablespoonfuls into twelve 2-inch-diameter patties; place on foil.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about half of patties. Sauté until cooked through, browned, and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil, if needed.
Spread heaping teaspoon grape-leaf spread on each fritter. Top each with 1 shrimp. Sprinkle fritters with lemon juice, then lemon peel, and serve.

YIELD: Serves 4
Make the broth:
Combine the hocks, vegetables, bay leaf, peppercorns, and 8 cups of water in a medium stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to low, put the lid on, and cook at a nice steady simmer until the meat on the hocks is so tender it's almost falling off the bone, 4 to 5 hours.
Carefully remove the hocks and put them in a big bowl. Strain the cooking liquid through a sieve into the bowl, and discard the vegetables and aromatics. Let the hocks cool in the liquid.
When the hocks are cool enough to handle, pull off the meat in bite-sized chunks. Discard the bones and any hard bits and some of the fat, but don't throw away the skinI add the skin to the soup in thin slices, along with the chunks of ham. You don't have to, but I like the way it goes sticky in the soup. You can keep the stock and meat (moistened with a splash of stock) in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. Gently warm the meat and skin before proceeding with the recipe. This recipe requires only 4 cups of stockyou may freeze the leftover stock for up to a month for your next batch of soup.
Make the soup:
Put the butter in a large pot that has a lid and set it over medium heat. Once the butter starts to froth, add the onion, carrot, and salt and stir. Cover the pot and cook, stirring every now and again, until the onions are soft and creamy (but not colored) and the carrots are tender but firm, about 15 minutes.
Add the wine and bring it to a boil (turn the heat up if you need to). Let the wine boil until it's all but gone, about 5 minutes. Add the mint and 4 cups of the ham broth and bring the liquid to a boil, then add the peas. (At this point, the carrots will have bobbed to the top. I like to pick out most of the carrot chunks before pureeing the soup, then add them back after. That way, you can nibble on them in the soup, getting that bit of texture.) Cook at a simmer until the peas are warmed through and tender, about 5 minutes.
Blend the pot's contents, in batches, until smooth. Return all the bright-green pea puree to the large pot, add the ham pieces and carrots, and cook at a very gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, just to let the flavors mingle and heat the ham. Have a taste, and season with salt. How much you need to add will depend on how salty the ham hocks are.
Add a generous drizzle of olive oil, several twists of black pepper, and the torn mint leaves. Then add the crème fraîche in little blobs here and there, so everyone will get a bit. Serve the soup in the pot, with small bowls along-side.
IT ISN'T EASY BEING GREEN I love to let the ingredients in this soup mingle in the pot for a few hours so the flavors marry. Doing this, however, sacrifices the soup's lovely bright green color for a pondy, murky one. I don't mind the color change, but some people might. If you'd like to make the soup the night before and want it to stay bright, set up a big bowl of ice water and set another big bowl inside. Once the soup is done, pour it into the bowl and stir until it's cold.

CONYERS - In a place where Salem High School students played and watched basketball games or took physical education classes will now long be remembered as the place where many said their last goodbyes and ended one phase in their lives during Saturday's graduation ceremonies in the school's gymnasium."Today, we become adults," said senior class representative Dari Goldman in a special tribute to fellow classmates. "We will truly have to stand tall and walk with grace toward an unknown, but hopeful, future. ... Fear not, young adults - we will prevail." Goldman predicted SHS will produce star athletes, acclaimed artists and promising scholars as the graduates head off to colleges and universities, the military or employment. The seniors over the past few weeks have faced many moments of bittersweet emotions, but Salutatorian Maha Syed said graduating high school is anything but the beginning and encouraged her classmates to remember their past as they move forward on their journey through life. The students also presented Robert Cresswell, who retired in December as principal, with the school year's Warcry Yearbook and called him "the most influential man in our lives." So far, Salem's 306 graduates - including 59 honor graduates - have been offered $1.3 million in non-HOPE scholarship money, with more offers expected over the summer. The students of 2008 expressed very emotional and mixed feelings during the ceremony. Emily Holmes described her emotions as numb, and said she was "sad about the people I'm leaving, but not about leaving Salem." Evan Flory seemed to sum up what most graduates were feeling regarding the future: "My future is going to rock." - Salem High School student Brittany Lofton contributed to this article. SideBar: At A Glance Salem High School Graduation Location: School's gymnasium Number of Graduates: 306 Honor Graduates: 59 Valedictorians: Sarah Adcock and Craig Hayes Salutatorian: Maha Syed Class Songs: "When You Come Back Down" by Nickel Creek and "Save Your Goodbyes"

Bagneres-de-Luchon, France (SportsNetwork.com) - Michael Rogers of Australia won Stage 16 of the Tour de France on Tuesday, while Italy's Vincenzo Nibali kept his stranglehold on the yellow jersey as the overall leader of cycling's most prestigious event.
Rogers finished the longest stage of this year's tour -- a 237.5 kilometer mountain trek from Carcassonne -- in a time of 6 hours, 7 minutes and 10 seconds, nine seconds in front of Frenchman Thomas Voeckler. It was Rogers' first stage win in his 10 years of riding in the Tour de France.
"No one was going to beat me today," said Rogers, who won a pair of stages during this year's Giro d'Italia.
The group featuring Nibali was well behind the stage winner on the first of three days in the Pyrenees. However, the overall leaders were bunched together and finished more than 8 1/2 minutes behind Rogers.
Nibali placed 20th, two spots behind his nearest pursuer in the overall classification, Alejandro Valverde of Spain. Valverde remains 4 minutes and 37 seconds behind Nibali with just five stages remaining in this year's Tour. Frenchman Thibaut Pinot moved up one spot into third place overall and is 5:06 off the lead pace.
"Once we reached the ascent to Port de Bales, I paid attention because Valverde was the most dangerous in my mind," said Nibali. "When Pinot attacked, I went to catch him straight away. I didn't let the gap grow."
After the second and final rest day in this year's Tour, the riders faced five climbs on Tuesday and a group of 21 riders broke away early. That group was trimmed to three by the final ascent up the Port de Bales.
It was a downhill finish from the top and Rogers made his move on Cyril Gautier and Voeckler with about 4 1/2 kilometers remaining, cruising to the wire with neither of the Europcar teammates close. Gautier finished fifth with the same time as Voeckler, Vasili Kiryienka and Jose Serpa.
"I knew Voeckler would be hard to beat," said Rogers.
Meanwhile, the overall leaders remained bunched, although Frenchman Romain Bardet and American Tejay Van Garderen could not keep up. Bardet was third entering the stage, but finished nearly two minutes behind the yellow jersey on Tuesday and dropped to fifth, while Van Garderen lost an additional two minutes and fell from fifth to sixth overall -- 9:25 behind Nibali.
"I just didn't have the legs," said Van Garderen. "I'm really hoping I can bounce back and recover the legs I had in the Alps. It's not finished yet. We have three hard GC days to come, I'm hoping to bounce back."
Stage 17 on Wednesday is the shortest of the Tour, aside from Saturday's time trial. It is only 124.5 kilometers from Saint-Gaudens to Saint-Lary Pla d'Adet and features a trio of Category 1 climbs prior to a finish of the highest category.
