Beyonce sings heart-melting duet with young blind fan
Beyonce made the night of a young girl during her concert in Perth, Australia on Friday. Get your tissues ready, this is a tearjerker.
The pop star found 13-year-old Sophie Kotkis standing in the front row, just off the stage. According to the New York Daily News, Sophie is legally blind and struggles with hearing and muscle difficulty.
"Tell everybody your name, beautiful," Beyonce said while performing her song "Irresistible."
"Sophie, I think I need you to help me sing this song. Do you think you can sing to the left?"
The young girl had a smile from ear-to-ear as she began singing in the microphone. Beyonce then knelt in front of Sophie and sang the rest of the verse to her.
It was truly an heart-melting moment and one that Sophie will probably never forget.

Projector bulb life is managed to achieve desired performance parameters, such as a maximum life mode or maximum brightness mode, by sensing bulb luminance and applied the sensed luminance with a luminance feedback controller to drive the bulb to achieve the desired performance parameter. For instance, in maximum life mode the luminance feedback controller reduces power applied to the bulb to restrict bulb luminance to a maximum luminance setpoint when greater luminance is available with a newer bulb. In maximum brightness mode, the luminance feedback controller increases power applied to the bulb to increase bulb luminance if the sensor senses luminance below a threshold due bulb wear. Bulb life management improves project image illumination to display information in a variety of projector types, including digital mirror devices and liquid crystal displays.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/719,157, filed on Nov. 21, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,055,962 entitled "System and Method for Managing Projector Bulb Life" and naming Howell Schwartz, Samuel Nicklaus D'Alessio, Subramanian Jayaram, Harold Guy Melton and Stanley Osgood as inventors.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to the field of information display, and more particularly relates to a system and method for managing projector bulb life.
2. Description of the Related Art
As the value and use of information continues to increase, individuals and businesses seek additional ways to process and store information. One option available to users is information handling systems. An information handling system generally processes, compiles, stores, and/or communicates information or data for business, personal, or other purposes thereby allowing users to take advantage of the value of the information. Because technology and information handling needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information handling systems may also vary regarding what information is handled, how the information is handled, how much information is processed, stored, or communicated, and how quickly and efficiently the information may be processed, stored, or communicated. The variations in information handling systems allow for information handling systems to be general or configured for a specific user or specific use such as financial transaction processing, airline reservations, enterprise data storage, or global communications. In addition, information handling systems may include a variety of hardware and software components that may be configured to process, store, and communicate information and may include one or more computer systems, data storage systems, and networking systems.
Often a primary objective of information handling systems is the display of information to users as an image. Conventionally information has been displayed with cathode ray tube (CRT) devices that generally direct an electron beam towards phosphors located in a screen to form images of the information for viewing by users. CRT devices typically apply chroma feedback to control electrical drive signals and thus manage the quality of images generated by the impact of electrons on the phosphor screen. However, obtaining high resolution images from CRT displays is difficult and often involves the use of bulky devices with relatively high power consumption. Primarily as a result of the generally large size of CRT devices, consumers have turned to projector devices for the display of information images. Generally, projector devices display information by illuminating an image with high intensity light to present the image on a screen. For instance, digital mirror device (DMD) projectors, also known as digital light processor (DLP) projectors, direct high intensity light at an image generator having a large number of miniature mirrors that selectively direct the light at a screen to form an image. Another example of a projector device is a liquid crystal device (LCD or LCOS) projector that directs high intensity light through a LCD screen having the desired image which is then projected onto a screen.
Projector devices have substantially improved the display of information compared with CRT devices by providing better resolution with larger images so that consumers have turned to projector devices with increased frequency. For instance, graphics projectors initially developed to make presentations with applications running on portable information handling systems have now become a common selection for home theaters that show DVD movies. Similarly, DMD and LCD projectors have become an increasingly common selection for consumer television sets. One difficulty that remains with consumer acceptance of projector display devices is that the projector bulbs typically used in projector devices are expensive ultra high pressure mercury vapor or xenon halogen lamps that have a generally short life span of approximately 1500 hours. Consumers are hesitant to invest in projector display devices for common home entertainment use where the projector display devices require frequent replacement of expensive bulbs. Consumers are also hesitant to invest in projector display devices that have perceived performance problems, such as decreased available brightness as a projector bulb ages. As a bulb ages, the arc gap of the bulb increases so that a greater voltage is required to generate the same level of luminance from the bulb. Eventually, the arc gap increases to a distance that results in reduced brightness to half or less of a bulb's original brightness so that the consumer has to replace the bulb with a new bulb to obtain acceptable brightness performance.
Therefore a need has arisen for a system and method which manages projector bulb output parameters in order to obtain desired brightness and length of life performance.
In accordance with the present invention, a method and system are provided which substantially reduce the disadvantages and problems associated with previous methods and systems for managing a projector bulb life. A luminance feed back control loop senses luminance output by a projector bulb and provides a control signal to the projector bulb's power driver to maintain brightness output from the bulb so that the bulb has a desired performance, such as maximum life or maximum brightness over the bulb's life.
More specifically, a bulb is illuminated by a power driver that provides variable power to the bulb to generate variable brightness to illuminate information formed as an image, such as with a DMD or LCD display device. Bulb brightness is sensed by a luminance sensor and provided to a luminance feedback controller as a sense signal, such as a voltage. The luminance controller generates an error control signal that is fed back to the power driver to compensate for changes in bulb performance over time, such as arc length induced bulb brightness changes related to bulb aging. The luminance controller manages bulb luminance to obtain desired bulb performance parameters. In a maximum life mode, the luminance controller restricts bulb brightness to a threshold value by reducing the power provided to the bulb so that a new bulb with greater available brightness illuminates at a lower brightness level to reduce wear on the bulb. In a maximum brightness mode, the luminance controller increases bulb brightness to a threshold value by increasing power provided to the bulb so that an older bulb with degraded available brightness illuminates at a greater brightness level. In an unmanaged mode, the luminance controller is disengaged to allow a user to manually select a desired brightness.
The present invention provides a number of important technical advantages. One example of an important technical advantage is that consumers are presented with an information image from a projector with improved consistency in the brightness of the image. Consumers are provided with improved life of a projector's bulb and face reduced cost in the replacement of projector bulbs through the control of the power that drives a bulb based on feedback of the luminance output by the bulb. The control algorithm allows a user to select between bulb performance goals so that the user can have maximum available illumination from a new bulb or initially reduced illumination below a bulb's maximum available brightness as a tradeoff for longer bulb life and improved performance from the bulb as the bulb ages.
The present invention may be better understood, and its numerous objects, features and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings. The use of the same reference number throughout the several figures designates a like or similar element.
Projector bulb life management enhances the display of information, such as that generated by an information handling system, by illuminating an image having the information with a luminance designed to achieve desired bulb performance parameters, such as maximized life or maximized brightness over the life of a bulb. For purposes of this disclosure, an information handling system may include any instrumentality or aggregate of instrumentalities operable to compute, classify, process, transmit, receive, retrieve, originate, switch, store, display, manifest, detect, record, reproduce, handle, or utilize any form of information, intelligence, or data for business, scientific, control, or other purposes. For example, an information handling system may be a personal computer, a network storage device, or any other suitable device and may vary in size, shape, performance, functionality, and price. The information handling system may include random access memory (RAM), one or more processing resources such as a central processing unit (CPU) or hardware or software control logic, ROM, and/or other types of nonvolatile memory. Additional components of the information handling system may include one or more disk drives, one or more network ports for communicating with external devices as well as various input and output (I/O) devices, such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a video display. The information handling system may also include one or more buses operable to transmit communications between the various hardware components.

Luminance controller 20 alters the power applied to bulb 12 by power driver 14 to compensate for changes in bulb luminance over a bulb's life. Generally, error correction signals impact bulb luminance output when user brightness selector 16 calls for a high brightness that is close to or at the maximum brightness of bulb 12. With newer bulbs, luminance controller 20 tends to decrease the output of power driver 14 so that luminance output by bulb 12 decreases in a tradeoff that increases the overall life of bulb 12. With older bulbs, luminance controller 20 tends to increase the output of power driver 14 so that luminance output by bulb 12 increases in a tradeoff that decreases the remaining life of bulb 12. The error signal correction provided by luminance controller 20 depends in part on the type of projector bulb performance parameter selected by a user through a selector switch 22. In a maximum life position, luminance controller 20 applies an algorithm that restricts power applied from power driver 14 so that sensed luminance does not exceed a threshold value. In a maximum brightness position, luminance controller 20 applies an algorithm that increases power applied from power driver 14 so that sensed luminance does not fall below a threshold value when a user has selected a brightness setting of greater than a predetermined intensity. In an unmanaged position, the switch opens to disengage luminance controller 20 from management of bulb 12.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
In a series of bizarre events, along with a heavy snowfall, seventeen-year-old Grace Calhoun finds herself fired from her school teaching job, running from her past, accidentally married to stubborn Daniel Reeves, and a new stepmother to five rowdy sons. Trapped together for the winter at the 6R, Daniel and Grace cant understanding each other because of their own deep seated pride and prejudices against each other. Happy that she has escaped her abusive adopted father and horrified with the manners of her new family, Grace wrestles with how to fit in when she feels unwanted and unneeded. Daniel, other the other hand, doesnt know what to do with his new prim and proper wife who cant cook but seems proficient only in correcting their poor grammar.
Although slow in the first few chapters, the plot picks up speed and provides the reader with a mix of intense bursts of action and times of reflection as Grace, Daniel, and the boys individually find Gods love and faithfulness when least expecting it.
When an avalanche traps Grace and one of her sons in a cave, she finds the courage she had lost so long ago as she learns to trust in the faithfulness of God found in Lamentations 3:22-23. After the avalanche, Daniel finds himself battling desires for Grace and feelings of guilt over his first wifes death during childbirth. Grace, on the other hand, is still a naïve young woman who cant understand Daniels behavior.
With surprisingly humorous twists along with fear-filled moments, readers will enjoy watching a difficult and stubborn man find his heart and a scared school teacher hiding behind proper manners find her courage. Because of mature gender-related subjects, this romantic comedy is recommended for an adult audience. -- Laurie Filson, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Her past has been anything but pleasant, but she strives to look forward to a better future. But somehow, trouble seems to dog her every footstep, and she encounters something even worse - the six R's. Rowdy Daniel Reeves and his uneducated, motherless sons have more energy than a bull right after being branded. As a matter of fact, she's surprised any of the boys have survived to live as long as they have. And their bull-headed father Daniel, is not much better. Can Grace bring order to the six Reeves boys? Or are they a project just too big to handle?
I have heard so much about Connealy's books, and as soon as I was able to get my hands on some of her writing, I quickly found out why she has so many rave reviews. I laughed so much over this book, my husband actually got irritated with all the noise I was making. The shenanigans from the girls in the first book were hilarious to read. Grace's primness versus the Reeves in book two had me bursting in giggles almost every page. And while book three was a little more serious, I had to just laugh at Hannah and her overactive imagination. A very enjoyable read, and one I will revisit again and again.

WINTER PARK — A car smashed into an Orlando-area day care Wednesday, killing a child and injuring 14 others, at least 12 of them children, authorities said.
Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children wasn't releasing any more information on the age and sex of the child who died, said Katie Dagenais, a spokeswoman for the hospital where the most-seriously injured were being treated.
One person at the hospital was in critical condition and five others were in serious condition, Dagenais said.
In all, 13 people were hospitalized and two others were treated at the scene, said John Mulhall, a spokesman for the Orange County Fire Rescue.
Several of the injured at the KinderCare building in Winter Park were reported to be in "very, very serious condition," said Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Wanda Diaz
Diaz said the Toyota Solara convertible had gone out of control after it was struck by a Dodge Durango, jumped a curb and smashed into the day care, breaking through the wall and into the building. That driver was not hurt.
The Durango fled the scene but was located almost two hours later after it had been left at a home. Highway patrol said it is looking for 26-year-old Robert Corchado. Troopers said he was the driver of the Durango, but wouldn't say how they established that. Troopers said Corchado may be trying to leave the area.
"Please keep a lookout and let us know if you see anything," said Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said.
Jacobs called the crash an "absolute tragedy and disaster."
Local television footage showed small children and infants in cribs taken outside on the day care's playground and several of the injured were carried out on stretchers.
The highway patrol reported that the injured were taken to five different hospitals.
Late Wednesday afternoon parents could be seen waiting to pick up their children, and then clutching them in their arms as they were escorted to their vehicles by authorities.
The day care's website says the center provides childcare and learning opportunities for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old and has been in the community for over 25 years.
Below is an earler version of this story:
WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) — A Florida hospital says a child has died from injuries suffered when a car slammed into an Orlando-area day care center.
A spokeswoman for Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children said she couldn't release any more information about the victim, including the age and gender. One person at the hospital is in critical condition and five others in serious condition. One has been discharged.
Overall, 12 children and at least one adult were hurt.
Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Wanda Diaz says a car went out of control after it was struck by a Dodge Durango, jumped a curb and smashed into the daycare, breaking through the wall and into the building. That driver wasn't hurt.
The Durango fled the scene but was located almost two hours later.

Pastoral care is the art of ministry as it relates to the specific needs or persons and communities of faith. In this course we will focus on major psycho-social theories of care and specific interventions for predictable human needs, such as birth, illness, death, marriage, divorce, and life passage celebrations, etc.. Topics will include effective listening skills, premarital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce counseling, counseling gays and lesbians, and ministry in times of crisis, illness, death, and mourning. Attention will also begiven to the ethics of pastoral ministry, self-care, and supervision of pastoral ministry.

Kelly Rowland Strips For The G-A-Y.
I am disappointed in Kelly Rowland, this is an example of poor wardrobe taste. It makes her seem desperate, and sometimes "any press just isn't always good press". These pictures were taking of Kelly Rowland as she performed at club G-A-Y Astoria in London. I understand these party can be edgy, but I guess it's the poor record sales that make me suspect of Kelly Rowland's choice. If she had performed in this get up at the height of Destiny Child's career, maybe I would have accepted it more. Actually, if it had just a little bit more fabric, it wouldn't be so bad.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I hope B is somewhere shakin' her head at her home girl. I didn't know Kelly was quite so, well, booty-licious? I hate those tops that squish a gal's tittie meat up like that. Especially in that side shot, the one where you can see up her nostrils into her sinus cavities, it looks like there's an alien or something trying to burst out of her chest.
Siiiiiigh… that's sad, really. It happens, I guess. Just like Britney at the VMA's. The only thing I'm gonna do about that is shake my head in dismay and listen to more B! :^)
Maybe, it's because I am a man that can appreciate her outfit, but I am really not sure why people have a problem with what Kelly is wearing. I mean lets be honest, we have all seen a lot of worse from other performers. Just because is wearing this, does not spell disaster for her. Though her album did not do well, she obviously has fans. I happen to find her get up very sexy. The added weight on her frame has her looking hellagood and that booty…..quite nice! I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I feel that she looks good and like I said, I have seen worse.
…personally, i'm not mad at the look. But i agree that she probably did it for attention, and press…well, it worked no? lol-
I ain't gonna front… I was thinking "WTF?!" until I saw the backend…
I mean, she's a good singer too… but is that a peacock outfit?!
I see the angle Kelly's going for but this does make her appear to be desperate but I guess Kelly's flaunting it all until the day she can't anymore. More power to her!
Oowww shit, I ain't mad at the girl!
If it was my sister I would be, but since it's not; Kelly give us more.
WOOOOOOWWW! Maybe a change in management and/or record label is in order?
She tries so hard. I like her, but she just needs to find herself or something.
I always thought she was the sharpest one in the group. You go girl!
yeah, she looks hot… !
Wow! This is not her look! I'm so disappointed in her.. I don't know what she is thinking!
OH come on! siriously when beyonce is singing and dancing she is half naked no one seems to mind but if kelly does it everyone says it's so Dissappointing wtf that doesn't make sense.

One day after winning the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, it's still fresh on the minds of Mississippi State fans.
The Bulldogs beat Conference USA champion Rice 44-7 at Liberty Bowl Stadium in Memphis, Tenn. on Tuesday. The Bulldogs finished the 2013 season with a 7-6 record, their fourth-straight winning season.
MSU gave its fans a good reason to ring in the New Year, but the celebration won't last long for head coach Dan Mullen and his coaching staff.
"We're going to enjoy this win (Tuesday), enjoy it (Wednesday) and then start looking to 2014 as a staff," Mullen said in his postgame comments after the bowl victory.
Mullen and his staff had Wednesday off, but will be back in the office today preparing for the 2014 season, which starts in about eight months.
The players will have a little longer layoff.
"(Tuesday) we laid to rest the 2013 team and each team has a one year shelf life," Mullen said. "The 2014 team is born on Jan. 10 when we report for our first team meeting."

State of Loki @ LWNApril 19th, 2001 by Crusader
Loki Software president Scott Draeker spoke withLinux Weekly News to address community questions regarding their recent staffdepartures:
"The Linux market is still very small–much smaller than the Mac market," said Loki co-founder and President Scott Draeker in an email interview with LWN.net. While the community as a whole has been very good to the company, and the press has offered high praise for their products and support, no one is making a fortune at the small California based company. "Some [people] have assumed that all the good news and good work we were doing meant that we had all become instant millionaires. Not a chance."
In fact, Draeker says they aren't even making money yet. Then again, that doesn't mean they're ready just yet to shut the doors to the business. "We're in this for the long haul. We want to build a Linux gaming industry. That takes time and plenty of sweat and cash. And no, we are not profitable. But we aren't going anywhere either."
Finding cash has been a high priority for Draeker since last year. He says the company knew back in December that funding wasn't becoming available and that employees were told about the situation. "We told them they were welcome to stay," noted Draeker, "or start to look for other jobs. A number of people left over a period of 3 months. At that point most had gone about as far they could with the ups and downs associated with being a start up in a down market." Now the company is running at break even levels. Says Draeker, "We've cut back to a size where we can sustain our operations exclusively from sales revenue. That said, we are still looking for funding partners."
Scott also goes on to say that, with the help of such projects asOpenAL and the Simple DirectMedia Layer,Loki plans to branch out into other markets.
Furthermore, Loki has announced a new bulk discountprogram for Linux Users Groups. If you're a member of your local LUG, make a point to let them know aboutthis promotion. Thanks to Rob Seace for the news.

Set within the grounds of a former country estate, Haggerston Castle is named after the old castle tower that still dominates the landscape. The woods, fields and lakes you can see at this caravan park make it a very attractive place to consider buying a holiday home.
We're surrounded by fields and woods, and with our own boating lake and a neighbouring set of pony stables, Haggerston Castle is a wonderful countryside retreat with lots to do. If you already think Northumberland is somewhere you might like to buy a static caravan then you should definitely give Haggerston Castle a visit.
It's one of our more action-packed holiday parks, with our caravan owners able to take advantage of our climbing wall, ropes course, tennis courts, golf course and more. So you should have no problems finding things to keep yourselves busy and active whilst you're enjoying stays at your Northumberland holiday home.
Plus, as an owner, you have access to our private Owners' lounge where you can relax with friends and family and meet other like minded owners, or just relax and unwind in our owners' Jacuzzi, health suite and gym. Our wine club is a great way to meet new friends along the way while tasting some award winning wines.
This area has more than its fair share of beautiful scenery, golf courses and great beaches. If a cool dip in the North Sea doesn't seem appealing to you, then just head back to your caravan, grab some towels and get yourselves over to our indoor pool complex. You'll find two separate pools and a waterslide to play around on.
Not only does Haggerston Castle have lots of ways to get you enjoying exercise and the great outdoors, this holiday park also has its own spa-style treatment rooms where you can slink off to for a bit of relaxing 'me time'. Once you're all loosened up, instead of going back to your caravan, leave cooking your dinner to us. Just take a seat at our bar and restaurant, treat yourself to a glass of wine and a meal, and don't forget to take a peek at the evening's entertainment over in our Live Lounge.
Another good thing to know about Haggerston Castle is that the level wooded terrain of this caravan park means it's easy to get about on foot and is perfect for cycling around.
Northumberland is famous for its long, unspoilt sandy beaches and with a static caravan at Haggerston Castle, you'd have your pick of them. It's just a short drive to the beaches at Goswick, Spital, Bamburgh and Seahouses.
Other nice daytrips out from our caravan park include the nearby Farne Islands, Holy Island, the Castles at Bamburgh and Alnwick. Alnwick especially is a hit with younger family members as parts of the castle stood in for Hogwarts during the filming of the Harry Potter movies. They also have regular themed days where visitors are given costumes and props to help you really get the most out these interactive, medieval learning experiences.
"Everything at Haggerston is just perfect. The golf and everything else there, and activities for owners really are great. From the time we purchased our caravan, we have nothing but praise for the manner in which every query has been dealt with and this we find very refreshing. We really look forward to 2014."

The Importance of Creating Family Rituals:
Deep inside my crawl space, packed inside a dusty box, is a thirty year old artificial Christmas tree. The tree is very pathetic: Most of the bright green, plastic leaves have fallen off and have been lost; the "trunk" is permanently bent at an awkward angle; and perhaps most pathetic of all, it is missing so many parts I am most certain that it can no longer be assembled. On top of the dusty cardboard box holding the Christmas tree is an equally pathetic box of broken ornaments stained yellow with time. Most of these are also broken and to no use to most people. Yet I hold onto to these "things" because they bring back the strongest memories of my childhood.
Every year growing up, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, we did the same thing. The day would start as I would put on the Chipmunks Christmas Album. (I would play that album over and over again on this day.) And then my dad would go into the basement and pull out that same artificial tree that is now stored in my basement. Next we would hang all of those same ornaments on it. We did this year after year. The same music. The same tree. The same ornaments.
Even in its younger days the tree was never that great looking. It looked like a bright green, crooked, plastic tree. (We would jokingly refer to it as the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.) And I can just imagine my poor parents listening to my chipmunk album over and over again while we decorated. But the fact remains that it was our family's little ritual to signal the start of the Christmas season. And it is comfortable rituals like that that make for many happy family memories.
Now, every Friday after Thanksgiving, Doug and I load the kids into our front wheel drive car and hike out into the woods to find our Christmas tree for the year. We walk the entire 50 acre tree farm until we find the perfect tree. We do this every year. We did it when we were engaged. We did it the first year we were married. I even did this when I was nine month pregnant with Marcus and it nearly sent me into labor! I even did this when Sophia was just a tiny infant and Marcus was toddler! We do this every year. Then we take the tree home and put on the chipmunk album and decorate it as a family. This is our families tradition to signal the start of the Christmas season. This is our little ritual that we have created which I hope will bring some happy memories to our children some day.
One of the most important jobs we have as Attached Mamas is helping to build our own family's culture through various family rituals. These comfortable rituals are what help build memories. Lifelong memories that are so strong that someday our children will probably want their own children to experience them. Rituals are a way to love one another. They are incredibly important to children and adults alike. They serve as touchstones that remind us of the places, people, and times that we hold dear in our life.
New Year's Eve
I had a couple of mama friends ask me how I was planning on bringing the New Year in with my family. And I have to admit that the way I celebrate New Year's with my children nearly exactly mimics the way I spent it growing up. (Again, the power of rituals and those childhood memories!)
So how do we celebrate it?
New Year's Eve starts with a new family rule: No one is aloud to say the word bedtime. There is no such thing as "bedtime" on New Year's Eve. Everyone, no matter how little, no matter how young, is aloud to stay up as late as they want (or can!) on New Year's Eve. We eat a late dinner, and then spend the night cuddling on the couch reading or watching movies.
As midnight approaches we all count down from 10 to 1 until the ball drops and the New Year is here. (Doug and I usually then sneak in a kiss as our way to welcome in the New Year.) Then our entire family marches single file banging pots and pans and yelling "Happy New Year" as loud as we can. We do this until we have been in every single room of the house.
New Year's Day has its own special rituals. Doug is usually happy watching football game after football game on TV while I make our traditional New Year's Day meal of pork and saurkraut. As legend has it, eating pork and saurkraut will give you good luck all year. And I have to say that I have been pretty lucky every year I have eaten this.
Our Traditional New Year's Day Meal:
1 rack of pork ribs
2 packs of refrigerated sauerkraut (NOT the stuff in the can!)
2 large cans of whole tomatoes
2-3 bay leaves
Put ingredients in a large stock pot and simmer on low for 6-8 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.

As Jessie Jackson's second murder trial began yesterday, both the prosecution and the defense agreed on one thing: The defendant's brother may have had something to do with the killing.
But the brother, James Jackson, has never been charged with anything, and no one seemsto know where he is.
Jessie Jackson, 27, a former stockade guard at Fort Meade, is once again standing trial in county Circuit Court in the November 1989 shooting death of the teen-age daughter of a woman who had accused Jackson of assault.

WTF does the cost of tape drives and tapes have to do with sharing external usb drives?
OK Genius - try backing up to an external usb drive without a share on it[/b].
If you want to backup to external drives -- more power too.. That has nothing to do with the OP issue. Did he ever mention backup??
"some folders on there are shared for users to access some files and various other small things."
As to the price of SCSI disks -- I am well aware of their prices.. Again WTF does that have to do with your ma and pop cluster
F of a backup solution?
So you don't agree with me, or your too stuck in your mode of thinking to look at alternative solutions, so you insult my client who you know nothing about.
Did I ever state that external USB drives do not have use?
"But for the life of me I can not understand why anyone would do something like this.. if your server does not have enough space for files you want to share -- get more drives, or bigger ones. Or another server or NAS.
Sharing anything off an external USB would be a temp type of thing, not something that would be a perm type solution."
I have over 2TB of data on just the SAN in this one location, along with all the other servers -- your looking at over 6TB for this 1 location alone.. Sorry your solution $200 external usb drive might be fine for some ma and pop operation.. But I just have to much data to even allow for such a thing.
Just the SQL "data" alone for this 1 location is is over 120GB.. How fast can you backup 120GB to your external SATA drive? I highly doubt your anywhere close to 1GB a minute across the network to some usb disk
[10/23/2008-03:16:43 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Total Size (Disk)............ 121,875.50 MB
[10/23/2008-03:16:43 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Total Size (Media)........... 122,961.00 MB
[10/23/2008-03:16:43 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Elapsed Time................. 1h 42m 42s
[10/23/2008-03:16:43 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Average Throughput........... 1,197.25 MB/min
I also need to always keep a backup copy off site for disaster recover reason. Oh and BTW not sure where you looking at buying tapes.. but they are not $100. A LTO 4 800/1600 GB tape is more like $70 retail -- even without compression that is still cheaper than your 1TB sata drive when you look at $/GB
Here you go $62 a tape
800GB/62 = 12.90 GB per $
What format is your 1TB drive using? Whats the actual usable space -- lets say its like 930, which its going to be lower.
930GB/120 (price on newegg for 1TB drive) = 7.75 GB / $
And with that tape your also going to get more than 800 with compression. So your easy more than 2x the cost of tape storing it on your sata drives.
You are not including the price of the drive. You are also not taking into account that when (not if) that drive fails in a few years. Those tapes will now be useless because the format will not work with whatever the new drives are at the time, so you will have to replace those tapes.
The time it takes to backup is irrelevant as it is all completed overnight. Now...the time to restore is relevant which is considerably faster from disk than from tape.
But again -- the OP was not talking about backups anyway
Basically have a server (2003 Standard) which has a USB drive connected to it and some folders on there are shared for users to access some files and various other small things. But everytime the server reboots. The shares are lost. Even though the USB drive is given the same drive letter and it's connected to the same port.
What causes this? Why aren't the shares remembered?

Because sometimes it's necessary to get users to educate themselves.
But then, when I looked at some of your responses to other posts, I cannot see one solution - just referrals to volumes of reading.

By Marilyn Crosbie 31 Oct 2010
I am currently reading The Gift of Wings, a biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery by Mary Rubio. It is a very readable, informative account of Montgomery's personal life. The author draws upon the personal journals and diaries of the famous author and I am learning things about her that are of great interest to me, personally, particularly that she suffered from bouts of severe depression throughout her life. Despite this, through determination, she was able to pen a wealth of poems, short stories, and novels, most of which were published. Contained within the pages of this biography are morsels of interesting information about such notable Canadians as Earl Grey, Governor General of Canada and Dr. Andrew McPhail. Mention is made also of Dr. John McRae. For anyone interested in Canadian history, this is a pleasant way to learn things that one might not otherwise have the opportunity to discover.
Review quote
"Rubio deftly paints the portrait of a multitasking modern woman with an amazing work ethic. The biography soars with the energy of its title, but delves even deeper into Montgomery's dark side."-- "The Globe and Mail""A poignant story about a real family.... The result of Rubio's research is pure Canadian Gothic: a story of sexual repression, class conflict and family secrets."-- "The Gazette "(Montreal)"Absolutely gripping ... nothing short of brilliant, an un-put-downable read, and a wonderful examination of this troubled woman's tragic life."-- "Ottawa Citizen""Magisterial."""-- "National Post"

What are the pros? Very large production
What are the cons? Powder Mildew
First year trying Winter Squash. Got a winner here! From 3 plants kept 15 for winter, lasted 3 months in garage. Gave away about 12. Size range 1-8#. We had a bad year for pumpkin beetles, they ate at the stem and wall but did not seem to ruin the fruit/taste. We are going to plant more this year. Collected the seed.., sorry Bakers Creek Heirloom, will give that a try this year. THANK YOU BAKERS CREEK HEIRLOOM! P.S. I like the web site rating system.., please add it to the catalog and, put photo's on same page as description/name.

What are the pros? Yes
What are the cons? none
We have hot hot weather and rain rain rain, but seeing these grow warms the heart. I plucked one today and found out I had to wait for it to ripen. But there are others on the vine. I am so happy. They really can hide under the large leaves and nestle on the grass. So who says they can't grow them successfully don;t squat about squashes! lol

What are the pros? shade-n-sun/ground-n-container
Great squash! Superior tasting, nutty flavor. I've grown in both the ground and in a 20 gallon (storage) container. Both times the plants flourished though the container yield was smaller. Only 2 squash but almost basketball sized. I start the seeds in early May indoors...in-ground by Memorial Day and harvest by Labor Day. Squash changes colors a bunch of times as it ripens. Will plant this one EVERY year!

What are the pros? In depth spicy flavor, Size.
What are the cons? Nothing!
I'm unsure why others have had a hard time growing this, but this is by far the best tasting pumpkin/squash you will ever try. I grow 6-10 new varieties every summer, last summer this one took the grand prize in everything. It's often times described as hazelnut in flavor, but I would take it a step further to say it even has hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and other spices. It's the ONLY pumpkin I can think of that upon boiling, then pureeing up in the blender, you do not have to add anything to make it taste like creamy heaven. We had two plants, and each put out 10-12 small pumpkins. Bear in mind, they are only suppose to reach 2-5 pounds in weight each. However, I find that PERFECT because none ever go to waste from being too large.
We use these to make pumpkin spice lattes, risottos, sauces, and so much more.
PLEASE GIVE THIS PUMPKIN/SQUASH A TRY!!!! You won't be disappointed. Just make sure it gets PLENTY of water, and a little bit of off and on shade throughout the day.

What are the pros? Pretty
My first time growing this squash(summer '13). Got plenty off a few plants. The taste is wonderful and so easy to work with. Tastes better than acorn squash, that I love. Definitely will grow more next summer.

What to Wear This Weekend, From Date Night to Brunch
This week's "What to Wear" is all about casual comfort that highlights your best assets and looks like you spent lots of time on your outfit. Only you have to know the truth!
The Jacket That Should Be in Your Closet Right Now
Getty; Bauer-Griffin; Ramey; FameFlynet
From flared jeans to open-toe booties, there are tons of great fall trends to try right now, but none are as versatile as a leather moto coat. It's chic, timeless and makes just about any outfit look a bit more badass.
Kat Dennings threw hers over a red sheath and nude pumps, which took the dress from uptown to downtown; Kate Moss's topper turned her leggings and tee into a cool-girl outfit.
Another one of our favorite fashionistas, Jessica Alba, toughened up a printed A-line skirt and sparkly Rupert Sanderson heels with the edgy jacket. And Nicole Scherzinger took a similar route to Moss by wearing it with a T-shirt, black jeans and mid-calf boots.
Red Carpet Trend Report: What's Sizzling & What's Fizzling
WireImage; DailyCeleb.com; WireImage
Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel's Total Recall press tour outfits have dominated the red carpet this week, and the two ladies have proven they know how to dress (most of the time!). But don't worry, we've kept our eye on all the other parties, premieres and launches to give you the most thorough breakdown of what we're loving and (not quite loving) trend-wise this week. Lets get to it:
Up: Sculptural dresses: Now this is how do you old-school Hollywood glamour in 2012. Kate Beckinsale does screen siren hair and makeup well, but it's the graphic detailing on her Donna Karan gown that really gives the look a modern-day update.

The Racy Skin-Baring Trend Celebs Are Loving
Getty; Hutchins; Getty
Celebrities baring their — ahem — assets is nothing new, but it's the way they're putting it on display that's causing heads to turn. It's official: The sideboob has taken over Hollywood.
One of the more surprising ladies to try the trend was Kristen Stewart in Cannes; she was red hot in a plunging crimson Reem Acra gown. (We wonder if Rob approved of the revealing number?)
Miley Cyrus did the same at the Billboard Music Awards. The songstress caused jaws to drop thanks to her revealing white Jean Paul Gaultier blazer, which showed a lot of leg and a whole lot of cleavage.
Exclusive: Nicole Scherzinger Is the New Face of Herbal Essences
Courtesy Herbal Essences
With her hair constantly at the mercy of curling irons, straighteners and blow dryers, Nicole Scherzinger relies on hydrating products to keep her hair healthy. And now, she'll likely have a lot of them at her disposable: the singer and former X Factor judge is the newest face of Herbal Essences.
"It's amazing," she tells PEOPLE of the new gig. "I have a big grin on my face and I'm glowing. I'm really proud to be partnered with this brand."

Who Will Take the Polio Crown?
The Taliban takes on the World Health Organization in today's SHOWDOWN! Can the World Health Organization completely eradicate polio, or will the Taliban frustrate and negate two and a half decades worth of progress?
Strength: The World Health Organization, an agency of the United Nations, continues to lead the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), which over the past 26 years reduced polio by 99% and vaccinated 3 billion children. Weakness: WHO cannot mandate or effect any changes without the cooperation of local, state, and national cooperation. Essentially, if a country or region refuses to comply with the GPEI, the WHO is powerless. Special Weapon: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has employed a strategic mission with WHO to permanently eradicate polio within 6 years at a cost of approximately $6 billion.
Strength: Taliban control and influence in North Waziristan, Pakistan, prevent vaccinators from performing their duties to eradicate polio. The Taliban has instilled fear in the locals by making threats to those who attempt to get vaccinated and declaring wild claims that the polio vaccine is a western conspiracy against Islam. Weakness: Some of those under the Taliban's control understand the importance of the vaccine and risk their lives to get their children vaccinated. The Taliban cannot imbibe the whole populace with its radical ideas. Special Weapon: Guns. The Taliban has shot dead over 60 vaccinators and their police guards in the past two years. The Taliban's presence will constantly interfere with the WHO's goals.
Who will take the polio crown? Hopefully, WHO will, but if the Taliban continues to hinder the progress of the GPEI, then polio could spread rapidly through the region. The cost to sweep a large region with polio vaccinations would be immense and a major blow to the GPEI. However, the Taliban alone does not frustrate WHO's efforts. The extremist militant group in western Africa, Boko Haram, and the Taliban presence in Afghanistan both complicate the efforts of the GPEI. Complete eradication of the disease would prevent polio from resurfacing, as was the case with other disease, including yaws, hookworm, and malaria. The success of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative would confer a social, economic, and humane justice to future generations.

The Western Union Company is a financial services and communications company based in the United States. Its North American headquarters is at Englewood, Colorado, and its international marketing and commercial services headquarters are in Montvale, New Jersey. Until it discontinued the service, this company was the best known US company in the business of exchanging telegrams.
Western Union has a number of divisions, with products such as person-to-person money transfer, money orders, and commercial services. As of September 9, 2008, the company has 350,000 Western Union agent locations in over 240 countries and territories. Reported revenues top $5 billion annually.
After a series of acquisitions of competing companies by Hiram Sibley and Don Alonzo Watson the company changed its name to Western Union Telegraph Company in 1856 at the insistence of Ezra Cornell, one of the founders of Cornell University , to signify the joining of telegraph lines from coast to coast.
Western Union completed the first transcontinental telegraph line in 1861. In 1865 it formed the Russian American Telegraph in an attempt to link America to Europe, via Alaska, into Siberia, to Moscow.
The telegraph was dominated by Western Union, an industrialized monopoly. They were the first communications empire and the beginning of what was to come for the future of communications as it is known today.
It introduced the first stock ticker in 1866, and a standardized time service in 1870. The next year, 1871, the company introduced its money transfer service, based on its extensive telegraph network. In 1879, Western Union left the telephone business, having lost a patent lawsuit with Bell. As the telephone replaced the telegraph, money transfer would become its primary business.
When the Dow Jones Transportation Average stock market index for the NYSE was created in 1884, Western Union was one of the original eleven companies tracked.
In 1914 Western Union offered the first charge card for consumers; in 1923 it introduced teletypewriters to join its branches. Singing telegrams followed in 1933, intercity fax in 1935, and commercial intercity microwave communications in 1943. In 1958 it began offering Telex to customers. Western Union introduced the 'Candygram' in the 1960s, a box of chocolates accompanying a telegram featured in a commercial with the rotund Don Wilson. In 1964, Western Union initiated a transcontinental microwave beam to replace land lines.
Western Union became the first American telecommunications corporation to maintain its own fleet of geosynchronous communication satellites, starting in 1974. The fleet of satellites, called Westar, carried communications within the Western Union company for telegram and mailgram message data to Western Union bureaus nationwide. It also handled traffic for its Telex and TWX (Telex II) services. The Westar satellites' transponders were also leased by other companies for relaying video, voice, data, and facsimile (fax) transmissions.
Due to declining profits and mounting debts, Western Union slowly began to divest itself of telecommunications-based assets starting in the early 1980s. Due to deregulation at the time, Western Union began sending money outside the country, re-inventing itself as "The fastest way to send money worldwideSM" and expanding its agent locations internationally.
In the 1980s Western Union organized its cable systems properties and its right-of-way rights of its telegraph lines into a subsidiary called Western Union International. In 1990 it sold this subsidiary to MCI Communications which renamed it to MCI International and moved its headquarters from New York City to Westchester County, New York.
In 1986, Western Union and GTE became owners of Airfone.
In 1987, Investor Bennett S. LeBow acquired Western Union.
The official name of the corporation was changed to New Valley Corporation in 1991, just in time for that entity to seek bankruptcy protection. The name change was taken to shield the Western Union name from being dragged through the proceedings (and the bad PR that would cause).. Under the leadership of LeBow and COO Howard Lorber, the company's stock price rose from $1 to $240 a share in three years .
New Valley was bought by First Financial Management Corporation in 1994, which a year later merged with First Data Corporation. On January 26, 2006, First Data Corporation announced plans to spin Western Union off as an independent, publicly traded company. Western Union's focus will remain money transfers. The next day, Western Union announced that it would cease offering telegram transmission and delivery, the product most associated with the company throughout its history. This was, however, not the original Western Union telegram service, but a new service of First Data under the Western Union banner; the original telegram service was discontinued after New Valley Corporation's bankruptcy.
The spin off was completed in September and Western Union is now an independent, publicly traded company.
On September 10, 2007, Los Angeles area immigrant and community organizations joined the Transnational Institute for Grassroots Research and Action (TIGRA) to launch a nationwide boycott against Western Union. This boycott was scheduled two days before a general consumer boycott by immigrants. Groups accuse Western Union of charging exorbitant fees while failing to adequately reinvest in immigrant communities. The community organizations demand that Western Union abandon its "predatory financial practices" or face an ongoing boycott.
Immigrant advocates called for Western Union to adopt a Transnational Community Benefits Agreement (TCBA). According to the advocacy group, the agreement would "lower remittance fees, establish fairer exchange rates, and provide for community reinvestment." According to the advocacy group, Western Union and other money transfer agencies often function as the primary banking service in immigrant communities through check cashing services, yet they remain unregulated by the Community Reinvestment Act and are unaccountable to their primarily low-wage customer base.
AUTODIN was an extremely primitive service that used mechanical punchcard readers and tab machines to send and receive data over leased lines. Western Union failed in its attempts to engineer a replacement (AUTODIN II), leading to the development of an acceptable packet-switched network by BBN (the developer of the ARPANET) which became the foundation of today's Internet. AUTODIN service ceased in 2000, years after it had become obsolete.
A related innovation that came from AUTODIN was Western Union's computer based EasyLink service. This system allowed for one of the first marketable email systems for non-government users. In addition, the system allowed the same message to be sent simultaneously to multiple recipients via email, fax, mailgram, or telex services; as well as receive messages from the integrated formats. With the service, users could also perform research utilizing its InfoLink application. EasyLink Services is now its own company.
"Effective 2006-01-27, Western Union will discontinue all Telegram and Commercial Messaging services. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you for your loyal patronage. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a customer service representative. "
This ended the era of telegrams which began in 1851 with the founding of the New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company, and which spanned 155 years of continuous service. Western Union reported that telegrams sent had fallen to a total of 20,000 a year, due to competition from other communication services such as email. Employees had been informed of the decision in mid-January.
Telegram service in the United States and Canada is still available, operated by iTelegram and other companies.
The proliferation of mobile phones in developed and developing economies provides a widely accessible consumer device capable of delivering mobile financial services ranging from text notifications associated with Western Union cash delivery services to phone-based remittance options. Western Union's mobile money transfer service offering will connect its core money transfer platform to m-bank or m-wallet platforms provided by mobile operators and / or locally regulated financial institutions.
The First Data Western Union Foundation donates money to charitable causes around the world. After the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the Foundation donated US$1,000,000 to the relief effort.
It is for this reason it is banned as a medium of payment through eBay.

Record numbers of Kent commuters opted to travel to London by coach last year amid hikes in the cost of rail fares.
The Kings Ferry carried more than 560,000 passengers on the service in 2013.
The record figures, revealed by parent company National Express, come just days after rail operator Southeastern raised fares by an average 2.8% for 2014.
An annual pass with the Kings Ferry from its base in Gillingham costs £2,725, whereas a yearly train ticket from the same location costs £3,784.
Launched nearly 30 years ago, the Kings Ferry runs 36 daily coaches to central London from Medway, Sittingbourne and the Isle of Sheppey.
The firm has seen commuter numbers swell by 8% in the last three years, which has also been put down to guaranteed seats and new facilites like power sockets and coach tracking apps.
Commercial director Danny Elford said: "More and more people are being converted to coach commuting each year as they wake up to just how good an option the coach is to travel to work.
"Since they are guaranteed a seat, passengers can relax or work using the onboard power sockets, safe in the knowledge that they won't have to stand or be crammed into a packed carriage.
"Coach commuting is reliable too as all vehicles are equipped with real time tracking, allowing commuters to check the location of their service via web and mobile devices."
In November the Kings Ferry launched a new coach commuter service running from north Somerset to Bristol.

GQ's digital edition designed specially for your device
Only £1 an issue!
By Oliver Franklin-Wallis 19 December 12
Consider this a successful sequel: following up Prada's distinctly Hollywood autumn/winter campaign, the label has unveiled a series of similarly actor-heavy spring/summer ads. Gary Oldman, Adrien Brody, Willem Defoe and Jamie Bell have been succeeded by former GQ Best-Dressed Man Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Benicio Del Toro, True Blood's Dane DeHaan and Harvey Keitel. Given that Oldman and co. walked at Prada's last fashion week showing, presumably that means we can look for a Kick Ass presentation in Milan come January…

ODH, I thought of Warren, Askren and Rosholt but like you said, not UFC. Warren just wrestled in the Kit Carson cup and didn't do so well, hopefully he's just rusty.
Adolf, I agree with your post. I was trying to think of best "pure wrestling" careers, I don't mean to say that either Hendricks or Couture is the best at anything right now.
I would not put Davis on the same level as Hendricks. Hendricks was a 3 time finalist at a very talented weight class. Pound per pound, he is probably the 2nd best wrestler in mma, imo, as far as technique and pure wrestling goes. He is a very close second to Askren. I think Lawal outwrestles both Henderson, Lindland and Couture because they have come to age. Hell Woodley has looked like a wrestling machine against Zach Light. The youth and explosiveness has to be accounted for as well as credential and skill level.
In the UFC, I think Hendricks is the best wrestler. I think him and Kos would be a tight one, but I have to go with Johny's scrambling to overcome Kos. Its subjective until they fight. I think he needs to sharpen his skills quite a bit before he faces a GSP, but I do not see GSP owning him. I know, former Rutgers 174 pounder, Justin Haskins took Hendricks down. But Johny overcame it and outwrestled him.
lol...it's always a good day when young scarlet makes an appearance
Matt Hughes ....his style was to wrestle you with the occasional blow. Rampage gasses too quick...he's more wwe with his slams. So I disagree Zapp. List hard to make.....who is even in the UFC for more than a few fights! The big names never leave even if they are losing! I like to see USA National team v. UFC that would be a great ten!
