Avoid here at all costs lol.
Start with the bar scene, pick up a few drunk chicks to get your confidence up!
If you are looking for emotionally healthy-type people..........then perhaps volunteer or take up a class for something you'd enjoy learning. You would meet like-minded individuals that way.
Internet dating services...I met my wife on a dating service.
Join groups where you'll meet others with common interests; night classes too
Grocery store. I am serious. local church
I really REALLY wouldn't look on here, yes there are some genuine people, but they are the needle in the haystack of complete lunatics and people willing to sell their souls just to see a pic of your junk or take you for a fool and ask for your bank account details lol. Seriously, don't do it. Internet dating sites? OKcupid is free, and pretty good, that's where I met my boyfriend eighteen months ago. I don't know if that's regional or whatever, but there are plenty of other ones. But of course, it's also a minefield of losers and loonies, you have to be really careful and take your time. Meet a few girls, don't have any pre-concieved idea's of what's going to happen, and see how you feel.
you can try single parent groups or church groups for singles

High Levels Of Lead Found In Major Brand Lipsticks.
If you happen to use lipstick from companies like L'Oreal and Cover Girl, you might be unknowingly exposing yourself to high levels of lead. Good Human reader Kellie took the time to email me about this:
The tests, conducted last month on 33 brand-name red lipsticks, found that 61 percent contained detectable levels of lead, with levels ranging from 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million. Among the top brands testing positive for lead were L'Oreal Colour Riche "True Red" with 0.65 ppm, L'Oreal Colour Riche "Classic Wine" with 0.58 ppm, Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor "Maximum Red" with 0.56 ppm and Dior Addict "Positive Red" with 0.21 ppm

Toki Underground
1234 H St., NE
Washington, DC 20002
Neighborhood: H Street NE, Capitol Hill, Northeast
Cuisines: Japanese
Opening Hours:
Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.
Price Range: Moderate
Dress: Informal
Noise Level: Chatty
Reservations: Not Needed
Website: http://tokiunderground.com/#/
Best Dishes:
Classic and miso ramen; pork dumplings; beef dumplings; passionfruit gelato; Pizzicato Five cocktail.
With graffiti-painted walls and Taiwanese-cartoon figurines, this 23-stool shoebox is the epitome of Washington's next restaurant generation: edgy, scruffy, loud. But customers don't wait two hours on a Tuesday for the vibe--the ramen and dumplings coming from the kitchen are admirable.
Chef/owner Erik Bruner-Yang, 27, who spent a month apprenticing at a noodle shop in Taiwan, doesn't take shortcuts. The base for most of his soups is a tonkotsu broth, which starts with pork bones simmered more than 24 hours. He makes dumpling wrappers in-house and whips up his own hot sauce--a four-alarm concoction similar to Sriracha.
Two people can make a meal from one big bowl of ramen (all five varieties are $10 each) and an order of dumplings (six for $5), which means a Cheap Eats budget can include cocktails. Good thing, because the seven-drink list is creative--you'll see pepper-honey liqueur and shiso-lemongrass simple syrup--and delicious.
Also good: Pan-fried dumplings with pork or beef; classic ramen with pork loin, egg, and pickled ginger; nuttier-tasting miso ramen with pickled cucumbers, mushrooms, and seaweed; spicy kimchee ramen; passionfruit sorbet; Super Duper Car and Pizzacato Five cocktails.
Open daily for dinner.

Responding to Sir Richard Lambert's proposals for a new banking standards body, Bill Michael, EMA head of financial services at KPMG, commented:
"Creating a change in culture requires a fundamental change in mindset. While much is already being done, the scale of cultural change required in the UK is immense. It is not just about exiting risky business and simplifying products. It is about a demonstrable change in behaviour through all levels of banks. This will take a generation of bankers to work through.
"The introduction of a banking standards body is a vital step for the industry to rebuild its reputation, restore trust and put customers at the heart banking. However, we only have one chance to get this right. We must ensure a robust and credible body - that is not controlled by bankers - is established. "To succeed, it is imperative this body works in tandem with the FCA and PRA. A parallel track of unconnected activity will not be effective and could make things worse by creating a confusing set of standards, rules and expectations. Conduct initiatives from all bodies must marry up at all times.
"The introduction of metrics will also help establish credibility but we must ensure they are measuring what is important, not just what is easily measurable. This will be a challenge as it requires looking at the business of banking differently - through the lens of the customer rather than the shareholder. Banks that fail against these metrics must be held accountable and disciplined. This body must have teeth or it won't be able to make the difference UK society at large needs it to."

EN7950GT Driver Problem: Redirected to nVNews
I have had some problems with my nVidia EN7950GT Graphics Card and getting the driver to work. I have got openSUSE 10.2 installed
I have spent some time on another Linux Forum,
, but the moderator there couldn't help me and redirected me to you. The thread I used there can be found here:
and starts at
post number 14
To recap what I have tried so far:
1st I tried
the easy way
But i didn't work, then it got a bit more technical and tried what the moderator from the other forum told me:
1) boot to runlevel 3 (or failsafe from boot menu )
2)log in as normal then su to root,then cd to where you downloaded the drivers
( in your case it would be cd /home/RST_SUSE/Desktop )
3) type sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-xxxx-pkg1.run ( where xxxx is the driver version) & press enter
4) accept licence agreement
5) it won't find kernel modules & asks to connect press yes
6) can't find suitable will compile it's own ok
7) installs driver
8) gives a load of blurb at end
9) returns to prompt
10)type sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
11) sax does it's stuff
12) accept
13) back to prompt
14)at the prompt type reboot & press enter
15) log in as normal
But that gave me a problem when i reach number 10 and ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, it returned this message:
xc: Sorry could not start the configuration server
xc: for details refer to the log file:
xc: abort...
Then i tried to reboot and when i tried to boot Linux i got this message:
When i run sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, it runs for a bit and then returns this message:
I couldn't run startx and therefor ran sax2 -m 0=vesa and cliked OK to the setting and then i could startx.
Then i tried to run the installation of the driver again
This time I said yes in the end to run the nvidia-xconfig utility to automatically update my X configuration file so that NVIDIA X driver will be used when you restart X, and that any preexisting X Configuration files will be backed up...
So that i didn't have to runsax2 -r -m 0=nvidia.
But when i rebooted i git this message:
Starting... (something)
Starting... (something)
Starting... (something)
Starting... (something)
Starting... (something)

Skipped services in runlevel 5:
Welcome to openSUSE 10.2 (i586) - Kernel 184.108.40.206-34default (tty1).
linux-kasper login: _
Then the moderator
try an older driver from the archives, failing that, i think you need to consult the nvidia forums
as it appears beyond my scope of knowledge to get this working
i tried to use an older driver (version 9631) and it didn't help I got the message about the log file. The Sax log file my log file can be found here if that any help:
so here I am... Can anybody help its nightmare to scroll and move windows around without the drives installed.

Tablet PC, Wacom, Digital Drawing Boards
What do you guys use for your Digital Drawings?
I'm looking for a Tablet PC, cause they are cool and they just are so convienient for Art-business-student-professional type.
However, if the Tablet Pen doesn't do the pencil justice, and the surface blows, it's not worth my time and money.
What Tablet PC's do you suggest, recommend. Secondly, Should I even buy a Tablet PC?
I want a Tablet PC, for doing outside projects. I use reference, but only when working on serious projects. Most of my stuff is from my mind, and eloborated with life.

I think a tablet drawing pad would be better. The tablet pc cost more than 1000 dollars, and you can spent 300 to get a really good wacom intuos. The tablet pc may not perform as well, since painting programs consume lot of memory. and I dont even know how costy the upgrade for them are. Not to metnion it'd be a pain for you if the surface get scratched over time, and you drop it on the foor or something.
And I doubt you can see the screen under sun light. Just imagine trying to look at any type of monitor in a bright room, and you'll realize it's not a good idea to use tablet pc outdoors.
April 22nd, 2005 #3
yeah I'm not really feelin the first batch of tablet pc's..
mainly it feels alittle disconnected, the point where the pen touches the screen
and the actual display, theres some space there..
AND from what i've seen, the drawing surface is not replaceable,
which is absolute insanity if you ask me, it will get scratched to shit after a while.. why ruin your entire pc just cuz of one piece that should be easily replaceable?
Seems to me like another shady ploy to make money by forcing people
to replace their pc's every half year or so.
I hope consumers teach them a lesson
Also wacoms are tried and true, proven to work great,
if it aint broke dont fix it.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
I have iPhone5 and I have been facing problem like freezing and connecting to Wi fi. Visited Apple store in new york, 13th street and it was a REALLY AWKWARD RESPONSE from them.
He was asking it to replicate the freeze at that time. He doesn't want to believe that another colleague of the same store has seen it freezing.....Crazy person.
Such a response was never expected from Apple. Hate the apple iPhone5 support team... Hope Steve was there to release the quality expected from Apple.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Erika Spencer Brose
Well after freezing EVERYTIME I am on the phone I spent several hours doing a fresh restore. No backup, just set up exactly like it was a brand new iPhone user. IT KEEPS FREEZING! I want to chuck it out the window. I have always had an iPhone since the day they came out but right now I am about ready to go to a Galaxy or something else. I am so frustrated.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
I have this same freezing problem, and it occurs in diverse apps as well as in the iPhone settings themselves.
I notice MANY complaints in the Apple Support Communities about this same freezing problem on iPhone 5s running IOS 6.01 and even the brand new 6.02. The standard response from the "experts" in the support community here -- to reboot or restore the iphone (or visit the apple store or call Apple Care) -- rather misses the point, in my opinion. So many iphone 5 users should not be having the same exact problem!
Instead of band-aid replies to reboot and restore or get Apple tech support involved, we need an actual lasting fix to this systemic problem, so the freezing stops happening for all of us.
The real question is this: What explains this too-common freezing problem on iPhone 5 running IOS 6x?
I believe that Apple has screwed up, plain and simple, by putting out a device and OS that has not yet been properly vetted. Seems that Apple has been doing this a lot lately (e.g., OS7x Lion, the Apple Maps app), and I suspect this is an internal Apple culture issue -- a pushback against the perfectionism of the late Steve Jobs, perhaps. If so, that's too bad for us devoted Apple product users as well as Apple's investors, quite honestly. I am unhappy to see Apple acting like Microsoft by testing new products on consumers. Apple Corporation itself needs to reboot and restore its "insanely great" standard of excellence!
Meanwhile, I am still looking for Apple to "get on the ball" by swiftly providing a reliable and permanent way to stop my brand new iPhone 5 from freezing constantly.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to judahman
I AGREE! And for the record reboot, restore, renew etc does NOTHING to fix the issue.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
This is so strange. Anybody experiencing this problem got a lemon, like I described months ago. You go to a genius, show him/her the problem, then they give you a new phone. End of story. All the other complaining distracts this thread from the solution. When you are cranking out tens of millions and a few hundred have an issue, is it a surprise? It's a big leap to suggest this has some kind of greater meaning, and invoking Steve Jobs is just plain silly, let the man RIP!
My iPhone 3GS had an issue that a replacement solved too, and these are life-critical devices that a little hassle like this is long forgotten once it is corrected.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
I disagree with the previous- it is important for each person experiencing this issue with their new iphone 5 to document and express their concerns in order to represent the extent of this fault. This is a post on an apple support website - it will be monitored and the frequency of customer expressed concerns will red flag this model. I have had previous issues with apple prodcuts and not been taken seriously until theapple genius had referenced a support thread with countless other customers complaining of the bug. I encourage everyone to post relating to this.
I am also experiencing freezing/ unresponsive touch on my phone purchased new 2 weeks ago. The phone functioned without flaw sduring these weeks and then after one day of more extensive usage it has gone haywire. No trouble-shooting helps the problem. At the moment I can't even turn the phone off, this is unresponsive too.
I find it hard to believe that this is a 1/1000 issue with the amount of feedback on this thread alone over a matter of days. This must be a manufacturing issue or faulty batch (of the first issue releases).

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
Same here,
iPhone 5, ios 6.02.
It freezes for about 30 seconds and then it releases the lock.
Happened about 3 times as soon as I opened the settings app and right now when I opened then calendar.
So I'm using this phone it's been 1 month now and it froze 4 times at least.
DEFaded Jan 24, 2013 10:09 AM
Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
I do not have a feezing problem on my iPhone, ios 6.02. However, I wonder if anyone experiencing this issue has tried turning off Zoom under Settings, General, Accessiblity? If it is already off, obviously it won' t help. If you had it on and turned it off does it help?

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to JayaBop
I too have been experiencing these issues (random screen skips, phone opening up apps, phone sending jibberish emails, unresponsive screen, over responsive screen, freezes) with my iPhone5. I brought to the Genius Bar and they restored it. I didn't restore it from I iCloud and I haven't restored from my Mac yet. At first it seemed to resolve the problem, but it starting to happen again. It's so maddening. The problems are intermittent so I never know what's going to happen next.
I hate to waste my time again at the Genius Bar only to have this issue happen again. I had an iPhone4 before this one and it was a war horse. So disappointed.

Re: My iPhone 5 keeps freezing in response to Nato101
I bought my Iphone 5 at Apple in New York and i am staying in South Africa. i have the touch screen freezing issue for one week now. and i have not been able to use my phone since. Contacted my local Istore and i cannot get my phone replaced. This is a big waste of money, spending 700 USD on a product and not be able to use it for 2 months. This is the last time i buy any apple product.. Tried hardware reset , software reset.. nothing,, now am standing here with a dummy phone in my hand not able to pickup calls or read sms coz the F***cking Screen is Frozen.
This is the beginning of the end for Apple..

Great boot, weird fit.
I use a Garmont boot because I like the design. I think the buckles, the overlap construction, the sole, and the general design are the most simple and useful on the market. However, the fit is a bit weird on these boots. The toe box is very narrow, and the heel pocket is too large. I think next year's shells are supposed to be updated to accommodate this. If you have the patience to do the bootfitting required to get these to fit, you'll love them, but for an out-of-the-box fit these aren't the best.
hey drew, i know you've also tried the dynafit titan boot and was curious to find out how you would compare these two boots as far uphill skinning/hiking performance and also downhill skiing performance.

Extending Visual Studio with managed code can be challenging. This is due in
large part to the fact that Visual Studio is a COM application written in native
code and its interactions with managed code happen through .NET/COM interoperability.
Because of this, you can experience some really weird bugs. And by "really
weird", I mean the wacky, hair-pulling kind of bugs that have driven lesser programmers
insane. Debugging these kinds of problems is difficult because, unless you set up
Visual Studio appropriately, only the managed code debugger is used when run your
managed extensibility project. Without the native code debugger, the vast native
code base of Visual Studio remains a complete mystery and, without that knowledge,
hair-pulling bugs can only be solved through trial-and-error.
This article gives an overview of how to achieve a rich-debugging experience
when Visual Studio itself is the debuggee. By the time we're through, you'll be
debugging Visual Studio in mixed-mode (with both native and managed code debuggers),
getting full call stacks with symbols from the IDE itself and watching exceptions
that occur in the IDE but are never marshaled across to the managed world. With
these tools, you will gain insights that will lead to better-informed solutions
to any hair-pulling bugs that you're struggling with.
Before venturing into the world of native code debugging you'll need to make
sure that you have set Visual Studio up properly.
First, Visual C++ must be installed to enable native code debugging. You must
have a Professional SKU (or higher) to install Visual C++. If you have a Standard
or Express SKU of Visual Studio, this isn't an option. If you chose not to install
C++ when you installed Visual Studio, do so now. Just insert your installer media
and it should allow you to modify your existing installation to include C++. Note
that, if you aren't planning to do any C/C++ development, you don't need any of
the extra libraries (e.g. MFC, ATL, etc.) so you can uncheck all of the sub-features
and just install the bare-bones C++ language service.
Second, you should install the
Debugging Tools for Windows. These tools are necessary if you're doing crazy
low-level development (e.g. Windows driver development) and need to debug Windows
at the kernel-level. However, we're only interested in one file: symsrv.dll. After
installing the Debugging Tools, browse to the install directory on your hard drive
and copy symsrv.dll to the Visual Studio IDE directory, replacing the version of
symsrv.dll that is already there. (NOTE: The Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE directory
is {Program Files}\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE by default and
the Visual Studio 2005 IDE directory is {Program Files}\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE by default.) Symsrv.dll will allow Visual Studio to interact with
the latest version of the Microsoft Symbol Server.
The next step is to set up Visual Studio to use Microsoft's symbol server to
download any .PDB files that it needs and to cache them on disk.
For Visual Studio .NET 2003:
Sometimes Visual Studio .NET 2003 doesn't seem to keep these settings and you
must add them again. Fortunately, in Visual Studio 2005, this feature is much more
For Visual Studio 2005:
At this point, everything should be set up and ready for debugging. Let's give
it a try by attaching the debugger to another instance of Visual Studio.
This is totally awesome.
If you are an x86 assembler junkie, bring up the Disassembly window to see that
the disassembled instructions now include method names as well.
When dealing with the Visual Studio Exceptions dialog (Ctrl+Alt+E), most developers
are only concerned with children of the Common Language Runtime Exceptions node.
The sad truth is that, other than the Managed Debugging Assistants (MDAs) that were
introduced in Visual Studio 2005, none of the other exception types have any effect
in the Managed code debugger. However, now that we can load both the Native and
Managed code debuggers simultaneously, we can use all of the exception types
in this dialog when debugging Visual Studio.
Trapping C++ Exceptions, Native Run-Time Checks, or Win32 Exceptions can be extremely
useful if your extensibility project is pushing Visual Studio in ways that it might
not like to be pushed. Sometimes, an exception can be thrown and handled in Visual
Studio's code but not surfaced to your managed code. In these cases, it is possible
for Visual Studio to be in a state that your code might not be expecting and seeing
the exception for yourself is the only way to really solve the problem.
The simple techniques presented in this article are extremely powerful and can
help you to create better and more-informed code that interacts with Visual Studio.
However, they are not limited to Visual Studio. I've used the same tricks with other
Microsoft products (anyone working with Visual Studio Tools for Office?). Also,
we haven't exhausted all of the possibilities that can be achieved when debugging
Visual Studio. If you have any other tips or tricks, feel free to contact me at

Song Listing
Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Composer: Hans Zimmer .
|The Dreamworks animated film SHARK TALE tells the rags-to-riches story of a low-level aquatic hustler who takes advantage of the sudden demise of an underwater mob boss to start his own rise to glory. An all-star cast, including Will Smith and Robert De Niro, lent their distinctive voices for the assorted characters. Similarly, SHARK TALE's soundtrack is populated by luminaries of the music world, who offer both original songs and interesting covers.
|The album opens on a lively note with Sean Paul and Ziggy Marley offering some pop-tinged reggae on the festive "Three Little Birds," by Marley's famous father. This is followed by a rambunctious reinterpretation of "Car Wash" that combines the talents of Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott. The musical lines stretch from the youthful R&B of JoJo on "Secret Love" to hip-hop scandalmongers D12 on "Lies & Rumors." A cool coincidence occurs as Cheryl Lynn appears on the fetching "Sweet Kind of Life," while Mary J. Blige and Will Smith get together on a faithful cover of Lynn's classic "Got to Be Real." The soundtrack for SHARK TALE captures the wide-eyed, fun spirit of the movie.

Got Shark Tale Soundtrack?11/10/2004
cuz if you dont ... then i dont know whats wrong with you! you have to get it! not only is it a good upbeat cd, it also is a great cd for you to sing along with ... well, maybe thats just me! like that one song, Secret Love, by JOJO ... thats good! i mean, what other soundtrack do you know of that has a list of artists/bands like this one? you have people from D12 to Avant to Justin Timberlake ft. Timbaland to Christina Aguilera ft. Missy Elliot to India.Arie and so forth! what a great group of artists to all be in a cd! * go grab one now or soon before it all gets sold out ... trust me ... youll like it cuz i sure did!
now this is a soundtrack ...10/25/2004
the first thought that came to my head when i heard this cd was, "Pretty good! Its like a hiphop cd instead of a sdtk!" ... i dunno! i liked it ... liked some of the tracks ... mainly the hiphop tracks! my favorite track would have to be GOOD FOOT by justin timberlake ft. timbaland! man, justin can sing!!! other than that, the D12 song, LIES AND RUMORS, and the CAR WASH song by christina aguilera ft. missy elliot are good too! overall, i think that this sdtk has it all ... the beats, the artists, and the performance! GOOD JOB!
Some of my Friends are sharks10/11/2004
One of the best songs on the album has to be Hans Zimmers "Some of my best friends are sharks". It just speaks to the fellow musician, but if you want to crank it up a notch then Car Wash and Three Little Birds are two of the greatest songs to turn to. Chritina Aguilera's voice sounds amazing as usual. There are so many great songs and artists on this soundtrack that it would take too long to fully describe their greatness.

Loved our shower, the beautiful house and spacious grounds. We went for a relaxing stroll after a great breakfast. They even served gluten free muffins and waffles :)

A beautiful and historic manor that exceeded our expectations. We loved our stay in the Nixon Suite with it's sleeping porch and oversized soaking tub. The staff are friendly and happy to help make your stay special. We also took advantage of the in-suite couples massage and highly recommend doing the same. Each masseuse was wonderful. One thing they could improve is the breakfast. Other than that, our stay was lovely. We have actually made plans to return and try a different suite next time.

Our stay was wonderful. We were able to upgrade our room for a small fee and enjoyed the friendly service, happy hour and wine tasting passes that came with our package. The next morning, we also had a delicious breakfast. I will definitely go back!

Great property and phenomenal service, but very creaky and uncomfortable bed and a feeling of inadequate privacy in our suite led to the lower score for our specific room

My husband and I came to Rosemont for a weekend to get away from the hustle and bustle of DC and relax. It was quaint, beautiful and exactly what we needed. Everyone at Rosemont was so polite and made our stay wonderful. They were able to meet my dietary restrictions with no problems. It would have been nice to have the option to have dinner there (maybe through reservations). But we didn't mind going into town and finding great restaurants. We stayed in the Eisenhower Suite and it was a beautiful, large room. While we loved the room there were two things we wished were different. It was a queen bed and I would have thought for the larger more expensive room it would have been a king instead. There is plenty of room for one. Also, Rosemont only has a bath tub and no shower. I understand that this is likely due to the historic nature of the manor. I didn't mind using a tub too much but my husband was certainly not a fan. We both would have rather used a shower. We got a in-suite massage which was fantastic! Overall our stay was great and would recommend it for anyone looking to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. There are nearby wineries and Winchester offers some great shopping with cute stores in their downtown.

Mixing beer, albeit not for everyone (we respect you purists out there!), can produce some delicious combinations. To prove it, we created the Harpoon Apple Pie! To make, mix one part Harpoon Craft Cider and one part Harpoon Winter Warmer, and enjoy. You might surprise yourself with a new favorite holiday creation. After all, the math is simple, beer + cider = delicious. Cheers!
Find Harpoon Winter Warmer (now available in cans!) and Harpoon Craft Cider near you with our beer finder!
By: Merrill Allen, Harpoon Helps Published:
It's pretty common for us Harpooners to have food on the brain. Besides thinking about beer, we are often sharing recipes, cooking with beer, and planning perfect food/beer pairings. But this time of year in particular, we try to take it a bit farther by bringing to light the issue of food insecurity and by fundraising for organizations that provide meals to our neighbors in need. Here are a couple ways you've helped us to try to make sure none of our neighbors go hungry this holiday season:
- For every 6-pack of Grateful Harvest Cranberry Ale sold, we donate $1 to the local food bank where it was purchased. We think the only thing better than a perfectly paired holiday beer is to be able to give back while you enjoy it. Thanks to you, since we first started brewing this beer a few years ago, we've donated more than $132,000 to food banks! Try using our Beer Finder to find where it is available near you.
- When we asked you to help us fundraise for the Greater Boston Food Bank, you didn't hesitate! We served our annual Harpoon Helps Grateful Harvest Dinner to a sold-out crowd at our Boston brewery on Sunday, November 9th. After a "Harpoon-style" Thanksgiving meal and a couple pints (and pretzels!), you helped us raise $8,700 for the Greater Boston Food Bank! Check out the photos from the evening.
- You grabbed your bikes and rode to fight hunger in Vermont! After this year's Harpoon Point to Point ride, donations just kept coming in. We just recently tallied the total, and presented a check to the Vermont Foodbank for a record breaking $188,267 for Vermonters in need!
Whether you sorted food with us at a food shelf, rode the Harpoon Point to Point, or picked up a 6-pack of Grateful Harvest this season, THANK YOU for your help in fighting hunger this holiday season!

Hoyas Go Skiing
Georgetown Club of Northern California
Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 4:30 AM to 9:00 PM (PST)
The Georgetown Club of Northern California wants to go skiing! So let's all go to Alpine Meadows on Saturday March 2nd. To get us there the Club has decided it would be great to take advantage of the Bay Area Ski Bus' outstanding city to the mountains bus service. Why fight traffic, pay for gas, and have all the hassle of parking when you can ride in style, enjoy a movie and snacks, and be comfortable? There are even several different options to choose from just getting a ride on the bus to getting a ride and lift ticket or even a ride, a ticket, and equipment. There are several different pick up spots to choose from too. It can't get any easier! Go to the link below and purchase a ticket for the bus that best suits you.
A member of the club will be at the San Francisco 16th street pick up spot to greet people and provide good morning hot chocolate. Upon arrival at Alpine the designated club member will try to group people together into suitable ski groups based on the "ticket" (i.e. beginner or expert) you select above and we'll coordinate meeting for lunch on Alpine's famous sun deck in front of the lodge. Finally before boarding back up on the bus the club will provide a apres ski / tailgate before loading back on the bus for a pleasant ride back home.
Looking forward to taking some turns together, please e-mail with any questions!
Hoya Saxa!
The Georgetown Club of Northern California aims to provide San Francisco Bay Area alumni with opportunities to connect with fellow Georgetown alumni, faculty and friends.
Besides the rambunctious game-watching events at the Bus Stop (San Francisco), we organize a broad range of events every year that aim to serve our community and promote the intellectual and social welfare of Bay Area alumni such as happy hours, sports programs, social and networking events, lectures, and community service projects.
The Club is open to alumni from all schools of the University including undergraduate, graduate, MBA, Law and the Medical School, as well as other interested parties.
Join millions of people on Eventbrite.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

Rays Ruin Fenway Park's Centennial Send-Off, Look Poised to Rev Up 'Time Machine' for Another Improbable Run (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 9/26/12
The Tampa Bay Rays just will not quit. Last year around this time, they were closing the gap on the Red Sox in the wild card standings and beginning to put the pressure on. Now, the Red Sox aren't their target, but they're turning up the heat just the same. Tampa Bay won again on Wednesday night, spoiling what should have been a night to celebrate Fenway Park and all of its history. Instead, the Rays took another step at making more of their own, and the Sox go home one last time as losers. NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is...

Street Sense Outjumps Grasshopper in Travers
He was the favorite for a reason, and Street Sense proved he belongs at the top of the 3-year-old division by clinching the 138th running of the Travers Stakes (gr. I) (VIDEO) at Saratoga Race Course Aug. 25.
The son of Street Cry turned back the determined Neil Howard trainee Grasshopper after hooking up in a fierce duel at the head of the stretch. Bred and owned by James Tafel, he ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:02.69 for trainer Carl Nafzger and jockey Calvin Borel.
"It's a wonderful ride," said Borel. "I told my fiancée the colt of Neil's was gonna run a big race, but you can't take nothing from my colt."
Street Sense sat up close to the pace in third as Grasshopper and CP West led through early fractions of :23.68 and :48.18. On the backside, Grasshopper moved up to take the lead under Robby Albarado, running three-quarters of a mile in 1:12.43.
Street Sense "took control at the 16th pole," said Nafzger. "But when you have a slower pace, it gives everyone a chance to run at you. (Street Sense) couldn't goof around like he sometimes does. He nearly always will finish when he's hooked up eyeball to eyeball, but when he gets up about a length in front he pricks his ears. Grasshopper didn't give him a chance to prick his ears today."
Nafzger is the fifth trainer since 1901 to win the Alabama and Travers in the same year, and the first since since LeRoy Jolley in 1976. He won the Alabama with Lady Joanne a week ago.
Borel, who rode Grasshopper in his last start (a 6-length allowance victory at Saratoga July 30), said, "I asked him pretty good and he ran away from the other horse pretty quick, but you can't take anything away from the other horse, either. I've been on him, and I thought I had him measured pretty good."
Street Sense was the first Kentucky Derby winner to run in the Travers since 1995, when Thunder Gulch also won both races. Out of the Dixieland Band mare Bedazzle, Street Sense now has six wins from 10 career starts, including the July 29 Jim Dandy (gr. II) at Saratoga, the May 5 Kentucky Derby (gr. I), and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I).
Grasshopper, a son of Dixie Union out of the Mr. Prospector mare Grass Skirt, took his career to a new level as he stepped out of the allowance ranks to give Street Sense a run for his money. He now has four wins from six career starts and has never finished worse than third.
"At every point I thought I had him beat until the last stride," said Albarado. "Street Sense is a champion, but this horse is only going to get better."
Neil Howard called Street Sense "unbelievable," adding, "We were thrilled. It was a great effort. He's a nice colt, and he's never run a bad race. We might have to try (Street Sense) again."

HDP Is More Than Thin Provisioning
by Hu Yoshida on Jul 6, 2009
This year I have been seeing more and more of our USP V customers turning on their Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning license and enjoying the benefits of thin provisioning. One web B2B was able to half their existing storage down to 4 frames while increasing their usable TB from 133 to 236 TB. While the amount of capacity that most users can recover depends on the OS and the file systems, in the majority of cases we are hearing about 30% to 40% savings or reclamation of capacity.
But even where the OS or File System is not thin provisioning friendly, customers are using HDP for its many other benefits.
Recently I visited a large financial customer in Switzerland, where the storage administrators have been critical about the usability of storage management software in the past. The biggest advantage they saw in HDP was the ease of provisioning storage. Instead of taking hours to carve LUNs out of RAID groups, they could provision storage in a matter of minutes out of a virtual pool of preformatted pages. They made the surprising statement that HDP made provisioning so easy that it nearly eliminated their jobs!
Claus Mikkelsen visited a financial customer in New York where they were excited about the performance improvements which come from the wide striping of pages across the width of the HDP pool. They saw a 10 – 15 min batch job run in less then a minute. Claus points out that a major task of provisioning, especially for data bases, is to provision for performance Since HDP stripes across all the disks in the HDP pool, and now with v05, automatically rebalances the stripe when new pages are added to the pool, performance tuning by manually balancing spindle usage is a thing of the past.
Another customer I talked to was a telco who provided storage as a service to their internal customers. Since their customers paid for the storage; IT did not over commit the storage pool. If a user paid for 10 TB, they set aside 10 TB in the HDP pool. However, when they provisioned storage for the user they used HDP to provision the pages that were actually used. This not only gave them the performance benefits of wide striping, but also gave them the ability to copy, move, replicate, and tier only the pages that were actually used, and not the whole over-allocated volumes. This resulted in lower operating costs. If a customer happened to under estimate the amount of storage they needed, IT could find enough virtual capacity to meet their new requirements in a matter of minutes instead of the days that it would normally take. They could also charge them for that service which would be outside the normal SLA.
So while many customers think of HDP as thin provisioning which only applies to certain OS and file systems, many users are experiencing the dynamic benefits of HDP which are independent of OS and file systems.

Great post Hu on the many goodnesses of HDP. You bring out a lot of good points about tangential benefits of HDP such as performance, provisioning usability and generally using only what you need. All of these save our customers real money by either buying less disk, spending less time or getting more performance. Thanks mate!
Ripunjaya on 16 Sep 2011 at 3:12 am
Hi Hu,
I have a small doubt about thin provisioning ,
In case of the thin provisioning data would be written randomly as it would request the pages from the pool as and wehn required, however in case of the linear writing would it impact the performance.
I have couple of scenarion where VMware asked for thick disk only.
Hu Yoshida on 21 Sep 2011 at 8:03 am
When a VMware Admin provisions a new VMDK from within vCenter they have 3 x formats to choose : thin (only blocks used within the VM itself), zeroedthick (where some blocks are zeroed on first access) or eagerzeroedthick (where all the blocks are zeroed on first access). Both the thin & zeroed thick formats are making the VMDK thin inside of ESX; eagerzeroedthick however uses all the space that it is assigned. So what we recommend to take advantage of HDP and leverage HW thin provisoning is use eagerzeroedthick format with VAAI enabled so that HDP sees only the blocks used – Then ESX has a VMDK with full allocation of blocks, when it is actually thin in HDP
Our solutions team have written a white paper that explains this in detail for the AMS2000 Family http://bit.ly/hwaDIp which also apples to the VSP.
Ripun on 24 Sep 2011 at 11:32 am
Hi Hu,
Thanks for your answer.
However I am asking generic case of any OS. (VMware I was giving example).
In simple Windows and Unix if I use thin disk from a virtual pool, my linear writes would be written randomly as this would ask pages from virtual pool as and when write will occur, as virtual pool is shared between multiple File System it would be random write.
Which may effect performance at the time of read.
Hu Yoshida on 10 Oct 2011 at 11:56 am
The writes will be processed in cache and therefore have no impact from any more or less randomization due to pool technologies. Sequential writes can happen under many scenarios but would not necessarily imply sequential reads. Reads are improved across a pool due to the higher order of sustainable activity achieved by having more disk spindles deployed and reducing the constraints caused by hot spots. In the case that there are large sequential reads the HDP technology would be able to service them in a sequential manner using the 42MB page granularity which should not disrupt service time.
