For step-by-step written instructions about Master Promissory Notes, download a PDF here.
Parents and students borrowing for the first time through the Federal Direct Loan Program must do online entrance counseling and complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) to receive their loan funds. The Master Promissory Note authorizes the university to credit the loan funds to your U-M student account for multiple years. MPNs are generally good for 10 years, so most students do not need to complete them more than once during their time at U-M, unless you have been out of school for one year or more.
If you sign a Master Promissory Note and do not want loans in future years, you must decline the loan the following year or it will be disbursed to you.
When visiting either StudentLoans.gov or Wolverine Access, be sure to turn off all pop-up blockers prior to beginning the process.
To complete your Master Promissory Note for Direct Loans online, turn off all pop-up blockers and follow these steps:
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
503 Thompson Street
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1340 - G02325
If you prefer, you may complete a paper MPN, but there are more steps involved before approval and your loans could be delayed. To complete a paper MPN, sign in at studentloans.gov; select "Complete MPN" to complete the MPN electronically or "Print MPN" to print, complete and mail a paper MPN to our office.
Note: Wolverine Access will only display a missing MPN for Perkins, Health Professions and Nursing loans; it does not display missing MPNs for Direct or Direct PLUS loans (subsidized or unsubsidized.)

This may sound like a simple question, but I just cannot seem to find an answer on google, probably because the search term will bring back quite a lot of irrelevance.
I would like a jQuery selector to select all odd table rows, that are not in <thead> and apply a css class to them all.
table.cp-ss-grid tr:odd
The above selector will bring back all odd rows in the table correctly, but will include the thead rows (on ie)
How would I in the selector do an and, i.e. something like:
table.cp-ss-grid tr:odd:not(thead)
the above doesn't work and still brings back the thead rows
Any ideas?

The most stupid is Dollhouse, which is dedicated to an indentured servitude/brainwashing operation that does nothing but teach cute people to do stuff that more experienced normal people already know how to do. Need a hostage negotiator? Rent a doll! Or, you know,
hire an actual hostage negotiator!
Need a bodyguard? Rent a doll! Or, like,
consult a private security firm!
Need somebody to fuck?
Is it seriously so hard for rich people to find just the right high class hooker or gigolo that you have to
wipe people's minds
just to provide them?
One of the biggest mysteries in the history of television is why Fox gave this show a second season after seeing any episodes of the first.
You have a point about bodyguards and hostage negotiators, but you're completely missing the point with the dolls used as sex partners (which I'm willing to bet is the majority of the assignments). Sure, they could rent a prostitute, but
it's not the same thing
. The prostitute is doing it all for money - she or he may fuck you, pretend to be sexually attracted to you, pretend to love you, dress up as your fantasy, pretend to be someone else - but they're doing it all for the money.
They are just pretending
. A doll is not pretending: they really
that person at the time, they really
want you and love you, at the time. In a way, it's all real, as Adelle explains to a client in one of the episodes (she did in the unaired pilot and the scene was re-used in another episode, I'm not sure which).
And then there are other, very specific assignments where it was necessary for the doll to truly be that person and feel genuine emotion: as in the season 2 episode "Instinct" where
a widowed man needed a "mother" who will believe she is his baby son's mother and to genuinely love the baby, which he wasn't able to, because he reminded him of his wife's death at childbirth.
In other assignments, the clients had decided that it wasn't safe enough to hire a person who would just pretend to be whatever, because they believed nobody was such a good actor and the targets would see through the lie, so they needed someone who was 100% genuine, as in the episode "True Believer". If I'm remembering it correctly, something similar was the case with the hostage negotiator episode, since Echo was not just supposed to be a good hostage negotiator but it was also instrumental that she had a specific memory.

The Leaven of the Pharisees.
#See notes on Mk 8:15 and Mt 16:5–12. 1Meanwhile, so many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot.#a. [12:1] Mt 16:6; Mk 8:15. He began to speak, first to his disciples, "Beware of the leaven—that is, the hypocrisy—of the Pharisees.
Courage under Persecution.
#Luke presents a collection of sayings of Jesus exhorting his followers to acknowledge him and his mission fearlessly and assuring them of God's protection even in times of persecution. They are paralleled in Mt 10:26–33. 2#b. [12:2–9] Mt 10:26–33. "There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.#c. [12:2] 8:17; Mk 4:22. 3Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. 4I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. 5I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna;#Gehenna: see note on Mt 5:22. yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. 6Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?#Two small coins: the Roman copper coin, the assarion (Latin as), was worth about one-sixteenth of a denarius (see note on Lk 7:41). Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. 7Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.#d. [12:7] 12:24; 21:18; Acts 27:34. 8I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God. 9But whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God.#e. [12:9] 9:26; Mk 8:38; 2 Tm 2:12.
Sayings about the Holy Spirit.
#The sayings about the holy Spirit are set in the context of fearlessness in the face of persecution (Lk 12:2–9; cf. Mt 12:31–32). The holy Spirit will be presented in Luke's second volume, the Acts of the Apostles, as the power responsible for the guidance of the Christian mission and the source of courage in the face of persecution. 10"Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the holy Spirit will not be forgiven.#f. [12:10] Mt 12:31–32; Mk 3:28–29. 11When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,#g. [12:11–12] 21:12–15; Mt 10:17–20; Mk 13:11. do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. 12For the holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say."
Saying against Greed.
13#Luke has joined together sayings contrasting those whose focus and trust in life is on material possessions, symbolized here by the rich fool of the parable (Lk 12:16–21), with those who recognize their complete dependence on God (Lk 12:21), those whose radical detachment from material possessions symbolizes their heavenly treasure (Lk 12:33–34). Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me." 14He replied to him, "Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?"#h. [12:14] Ex 2:14; Acts 7:27. 15Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions."#i. [12:15] 1 Tm 6:9–10.
Parable of the Rich Fool.
16Then he told them a parable. "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. 17He asked himself, 'What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?' 18And he said, 'This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods 19#j. [12:19–21] Mt 6:19–21; 1 Tm 6:17. and I shall say to myself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!"'#k. [12:19–20] Sir 11:19. 20But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?' 21Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God."#Rich in what matters to God: literally, "rich for God."
Dependence on God.
22#l. [12:22–32] Mt 6:25–34. He said to [his] disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life and what you will eat, or about your body and what you will wear. 23For life is more than food and the body more than clothing. 24Notice the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet God feeds them. How much more important are you than birds!#m. [12:24] 12:7. 25Can any of you by worrying add a moment to your lifespan? 26If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are you anxious about the rest? 27Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them.#n. [12:27] 1 Kgs 10:4–7; 2 Chr 9:3–6. 28If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? 29As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore. 30All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. 32Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.#o. [12:32] 22:29; Rev 1:6. 33Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy.#p. [12:33] 18:22; Mt 6:20–21; Mk 10:21. 34For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
Vigilant and Faithful Servants.
#This collection of sayings relates to Luke's understanding of the end time and the return of Jesus. Luke emphasizes for his readers the importance of being faithful to the instructions of Jesus in the period before the parousia. 35#q. [12:35–46] Mt 24:45–51. "Gird your loins and light your lamps 36and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.#r. [12:36] Mt 25:1–13; Mk 13:35–37. 37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. 38And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants. 39#s. [12:39–40] Mt 24:43–44; 1 Thes 5:2. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."
41Then Peter said, "Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?" 42And the Lord replied, "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute [the] food allowance at the proper time? 43Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. 44Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. 45But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,'#My master is delayed in coming: this statement indicates that early Christian expectations for the imminent return of Jesus had undergone some modification. Luke cautions his readers against counting on such a delay and acting irresponsibly. Cf. the similar warning in Mt 24:48. and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, 46then that servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. 47That servant who knew his master's will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely;#t. [12:47] Jas 4:17. 48and the servant who was ignorant of his master's will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.
Jesus: A Cause of Division.
#Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom is a refining and purifying fire. His message that meets with acceptance or rejection will be a source of conflict and dissension even within families. 49"I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! 50#Baptism: i.e., his death. There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!#u. [12:50] Mk 10:38–39. 51Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?#v. [12:51–53] Mt 10:34–35. No, I tell you, but rather division.#w. [12:51] 2:14. 52From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; 53a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."#x. [12:53] Mi 7:6.
Signs of the Times.
#y. [12:54–56] Mt 16:2–3. 54He also said to the crowds, "When you see [a] cloud rising in the west you say immediately that it is going to rain—and so it does; 55and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south you say that it is going to be hot—and so it is. 56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
Settlement with an Opponent.
#z. [12:57–59] Mt 5:25–26. 57"Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate, make an effort to settle the matter on the way; otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the constable, and the constable throw you into prison. 59I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny."#The last penny: Greek, lepton, a very small amount. Mt 5:26 has for "the last penny" the Greek word kodrantēs (Latin quadrans, "farthing").

Steve And Marjorie Harvey Cover Essence February 2014 Issue
Steve and Marjorie Harvey nabbed their second Essence magazine cover with the February 2014 issue. The comedian turned media mogul hosts three hit shows: his syndicated radio show, The Steve Harvey Morning Show; Family Feud; and his daytime TV talk show, The Steve Harvey Show. He tells the magazine that the secret to his success is his wife. "Everything I have," he says and points to his wife of seven years, "is because of this girl right here."
He says it was love at first sight in 1990 when he saw Marjorie walk into a Memphis comedy club he was playing, and he let his feelings be known right then and there. He stood onstage and announced to her, "I don't know who you are but I'm going to marry you." Marjorie's says she knew a few weeks later. "I knew he was The One shortly after I started dated him…but then he just left. Disappeared."
The two reconnected in 2005:
"Before a man can be of use to a woman…he's got to know who he is, what he does and how much he's going to make." His second marriage just ended, as did his six-year run as star of the sitcom The Steve Harvey Show, and it was a whole new ballgame. Two years later—17 years after his powerful onstage prediction that he'd one day marry her—and the two were wed.
"Every great man has a woman… I didn't say successful man, I said great man. Yeah, maybe you're successful if you sign a $16 million NBA contract. But greatness is when you're the husband and father you're supposed to be. When everyone surrounding you looks up to you, depends on you, and you come through for them. That's greatness…Do you think Dr. Martin Luther King was anything without Coretta? You take Michelle out of Barack Obama's equation, and he is a whole other dude out there."
The couple faced money problems as soon as they got married: Read more

Steve Harvey's Ex-Wife Arrested After Child Abuse Allegations Leak; Gives Jailhouse Interview [Video]
Steve Harvey ex-wife Mary Vaughn has been was arrested again for contempt of court. The former couple has been going back and forth to court for years now over various issues including custody of their son Wynton Harvey.
This time Mary has allegedly leaked sealed information to the media that Steve beat their son with a belt and then a paddle board in 2008 when he was caught lying to a teacher. The case was investigated by Texas Dept. of Family and Protective Services and later dismissed after the department found: "Based on the information obtained, the child does not appear to be at risk … the case is closed without further investigation."
According to the police report, the cops took photos of the boy's injuries, showing bruises on his buttocks and right thigh, as well as cuts on his leg. The boy also told cops that after beating he had trouble urinating for days.
After a hearing on Thursday over the leaked information, the judge found that Mary violated the protective order in the case and threw her in jail for 30 days.

Lily of the Desert, 99% Aloe Vera Gelly, 4 oz (114 g)
By Lily of the Desert57 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Mar 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.35 lbs (0.16 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

I love to travel, but do not nearly travel as much as I want to. I want to see Italy before I reach 35 and Ireland sometime soon.
I'm sarcastic. I've the weirdest sense of humor I know. I can watch Monty Python, and the Office, and stupid movies like Stepbrothers, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, and Superbad. The key to keeping me happy is to keep me laughing. I find someone with a sense of humor is much more sexy than any man with a great body.
I am honest, lovable, and thoughtful.

Previous studies from 1960 to the present have shown that there is a link between the price of alcohol and its consumption. That is, when prices go up, consumption goes down, and when prices go down, consumption goes up.
This project conducted a formal statistical meta-analysis on effects of beverage alcohol taxes/prices on drinking and on a range of morbidity and mortality outcomes. A systematic review or "meta-analysis" re-analyzes data from all the previous studies as a whole, allowing conclusions that are not limited to specific policy changes or a single state or country.
A meta-analysis of alcohol taxes/prices also provides the most precise estimates of the effects of the price changes based on the cumulative evidence across dozens or hundreds of studies. Today, the idea of taxes on alcohol is rising on the agenda of health officials and lawmakers because of a combination of things, such as historically low real alcohol tax rates, political opposition to increased income and property taxes, increasing budget shortfalls and experience with tobacco tax increases.

Yes. Obama's irresponsible and lazy actions led to those deaths and Romney just called him out on it. Obama does his job and there is no situation for Romney to comment on. Simple as that. Your guy is the least qualified person on the planet to hold the highest office in the world. The sooner you realize that the sooner you stop looking bad.<quoted text>
Just when I think you could not possibly make another remark as stupid as last one, you out do yourself.
So you are telling me that those deaths were "separate issue" from what Romney was making this so called "assessment" about?

The parents of these dead Americans are all over the air wanting answers from the Obama administration. I guess their feelings and need for closure is placed on the back burner while the Obama administration is trying to demonize Romney for his 100% accurate statements. All Obama has to do is tell these families he and his administration screwed up and that is why their loved one is dead. At least that way they could start the healing process. Obama is a disgrace as an American. He has to go. Dump Obama 2012!!!

Obama and that ugly old lady of his are typical Negro's. Lazy and are soaking the government for everything they can get out of it, They will be sucking off the government tit for the rest of their life. And then there is the kids right behind them.

"Illegal Immigration."
What about illegal immigration?
Do they send illegals back when they find them? Umm, no. It appears they do not.
This begs the question; why don't they protect the border in the first place? They could if they wanted to. You know that and I know that.
You are aware that the feds told Arizona they can't enforce immigration laws, aren't you?
So what are they REALLY looking for at road blocks?
#16679 Oct 14, 2012
You are just plain STUPID! Illegal aliens are deported every day. I live in a border state dumb ass. The feds ARE IN Arizona enforcing illegal alien laws. There are TWO PERMANENT Checkpoints outside the town I live in. They arrest and deport aliens from those checkpoints almost daily. You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts!
#16680 Oct 15, 2012
I believe you are correct, any illegals that arrive at the check point and requests transportation back to Mexico will receive it. I believe that if they request passage to any resort that there is a waiting list and. Must fly space available. The airline does waive baggage fees so it is a good deal for the American taxpayer.
#16681 Oct 15, 2012
Illegals get deported through the nearest Port of Entry as soon as possible the vast majority of time. Even dumb people like you can understand that.

8. Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.-- Douglas Case,
Classmate of Bill Clinton at GeorgetownUniversity

10. Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.-- Frederic
Bastiat, French economist(1801-1850)

12. I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.-- Will Rogers
13. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!-- P.J. O'Rourke
14. In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.--Voltaire (1764)

24. A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-- Thomas Jefferson
25. We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.-- Aesop
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!
Ahhhh, wisdom...

Even a 100 mg sample with a courtesy fee of $100 or so would be good. I can do a lot of work with 100 mg.
There are so many dyes though it is hard to pick one. They are not in the best format for review either. There must be a better way to present them such as by chemical class (best) and then spectral response (second best).

Train for two was formed when two blues lovers Mikko Mikkonen and Jp Myklestad got together for a jam session sometime in 2007. What at first was considered a tribute to old American roots music has now evolved into a repertoire of new songs that still catches the simplicity and soul of old. The sound is that as it was meant to be played in times when musicians were only guided by their personal taste.

Mandy MasonShared publicly -
I hope everyone is having a very blessed day. I have a question for yall, I have been gifted a guitar of a life time, therefore, the guitar that I have had for some time now, is a blue fender electric acoustic guitar and I no longer have any need for it. It has been on almost every Nashville Stage, on stages through out four States in the South and I will be posting a song that I played this guitar on in the studio. The Freedom CD that I have released, this guitar is the guitar that I used to write most of the music on the cd. Is there anyone that would like to purchase this guitar in my fb family? I thought I would ask yall first before I sell it locally. I didn't know if there would be any interest or not. If someone wants to purchase this guitar, I will also be happy to add in the Mandy Mason hard guitar case and an autographed picture and cd as well. This is the song that I used the guitar on in the studio.

text: The box office gets possessed, but can the demons beat out that bad ass transporter? Today Sony Screen Gems' Exorcism of Emily Rose (review #1, #2) hits 2,981 theaters in an attempt to knock out 20th Century Fox's Transporter 2 from the #1 spot. Also hitting theaters is New Line Cinema's action/comedy The Man, which opens in 2,040. The Samuel Jackson, Eugene Levy pic hopes to at least take a nice share of the box office profits. Our prediction is that Emily Rose will scare audiences into giving her their money.

How many times have you hummed along to the tunes of your favourite artist imagining him clutching at the microphone while strumming the guitar; as you're lost in those tunes of harmony? How many were those moments when you wished he'd be right in front of you mouthing those words, the brain-blowing lyrics flooding your head, as you live the music breathing through their voices? Craving for that exhilaration? For that single glimpse of your favourite artist? Why settle for imaginative experiences when you can see him for yourself, in all flesh and blood? Singing, pouring his heart out to you, as the cacophony of the masses, of your friends, join you; in those larger than life moments. When you hear the very same song at twice the amplified volume, creating goose bumps on your skin, could you possibly put a price tag on such time capsules of infernal magic? Such is the sublime power of the bands and the artists of the likes of Lucky Ali, Indian Ocean, Tochi Raina, Javed Ali, Aditya Narayan, and many more that have dazzled all the awestruck people that have been a part of Cynosure in Synapse in the past. Come this time again to feel it for yourself.
With paint and fancy words and movies and sculpture we've all seen innumerate forms of expression of the creativity lying within us humans. What about fashion? Turning something as bland and unattended and common as the clothes we wear and morphing it into a statement of inventiveness and splendour, is what the students participating in Rampage manage to create on stage. Celebrate the beauty of human life, the power and art of the mind, as they enchant us with their poise and ability to appease the eyes. Colours, Sparkles, Lights and Hues – watch them make wonders out of mere pieces of fabric and add a hint of extravagance and eccentricity to our monotonic lives. With students from colleges such as NIFT, NID and prime engineering colleges all around the country; be a witness to the unique ways in which each one of them redefines and reinterprets the essence of clothing, fashion, art and beauty. With the Femina Miss India auditions held as a part of Rampage last year, judged by Miss India International Gurleen Grewal and Miss Asia Pacific World Shristi Rana, this year is bound to have much more in store for you.

I have a linux machine dedicated to MySQL server with a pretty high load. Today I woke up and was terrified to see that database server is down. I could connect to it via SSH, but it was responding with
bus error to each and every command:
[root@r1304 home]# ls
Bus error
[root@r1304 home]# tail /var/log/messages
Bus error
[root@r1304 home]# reboot
Bus error
[root@r1304 home]# free -m
Bus error
[root@r1304 home]# chkdisk
Bus error
I went to Data Center and did a hard reset, which seemed to help, but after a half an hour situation reapeated and now I can't even connet via SSH anymore.
Any ideas what this could be? how to diagnose such a problem and what are possible fixes?
Server has 32 GB RAM, 2xSSD drives with software RAID
UPDATE According to Zabbix, when MySQL died, number of processes stated to increase drammaticaly, until I did a hard reset. What could those be?

The roots of mail order date back to the middle ages. In 1498, Aldus Manutius of Venice, a publisher, brought out a catalog of 15 texts which he had published, which were precursors of the paperback books of today.
Seed and nursery catalogs were in existrance as early as 1667, when Willioam Lucas, an English gardner, mailed a printed price list of available seeds and plants. This phenomena spread to the colonies, where a catalog of fruit trees was published in 1771 by William Princh of Flushing, Long Island.
Benjamin Franklin published a catalog, in 1744, of "near 600 volumes in most faculties and sciences" from the Library Company of Philadelphia. This catalog is remarkable for several reasons, not the least of which is the use of the concept of "satisfaction guaranteed."
Orvis, still a flourishing mail order company today, was one of several companies that began to sell sporting goods and fishing equipment through the mail in New England in the 1830's and 40's. By the end of the Civil War mail order activity had expanded to other parts of the country, and mail order ads were even being carried by some magazines.
But the real beginning of mail order was the result of the experiences of a traveling salesman in the mid west, named Montgomery Ward. He published a catalog sheet that listed 163 items right after the Civil War. Within two years, the catalog grew to 8 pages, and then to 72 pages. By 1884, the catalog contained 240 pages with thousands of items, almost everyone of which was illustrated with a woodcut.
Thus began the modern era of mail order…and perhaps the era of personalization, too. One customer wrote the following in a letter to Montgomery Ward:
"I suppose you wondered why we haven't ordered anything from you since last Fall. Well, the cow kicked my arm and broke it, and besides my wife was sick, and there was the doctor bill. But now, thank God, that is paid and we are all well again, and we have a fine new baby boy, and please send plush bonnet 29d8007…"
He received a personalized reply expressing regrets about the broken arm, pleasure that the wife had recovered, congratulations on the son and acknowledgement of the order for the bonnet, plus an inquiry as to whether the customer had noticed the anti-cow-kicker shown in the catalog.
Both Montgomery Ward and their competitor, Sears Roebuck, benefited from the post-Civil War industrial growth. In the latter part of the 19th century, catalogs became a dynamic form of direct response marketing. The Sears and Wards catalogs have been called "illustrated encyclopedias of social history." Mail order, with its policy of presenting a great variety of products at a fair price with service and satisfaction guaranteed, is now a fixture of the American marketplace as well as the American psyche.

Be careful at picnic places
There are many places for a picnic around Montville - usually in or near the forest. Be wary of your food as there are a number of local animals or birds that think it's theirs for the taking. Kookaburras love hot dogs - especially the sausage; but they will even eat the bun!
Goanna lizards may not seem fast but give them a chance and they will go for most things.
The secret is to just be still and the wildlife will come and go in peace.
Thanks to tropicrd for the goanna pic!

Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft.

2013-09-13 - San Diego, CA Death Metal outfit, CARNIFEX, recently finished recording their new album at Audio Hammer Studios in Sanford, FL with famed Metal producer Mark Lewis (ARSIS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE, SIX FEET UNDER).

On recently signing to Nuclear Blast Lewis continues: "Signing with Nuclear Blast is a career defining moment for CARNIFEX. To be aligned with the largest Metal label on earth is a true honor. This world-wide deal signals a turning point for us as a band and individuals. Together with Nuclear Blast you will see CARNIFEX like you have never seen us before.

Heartland Storage Sheds
There are several different types of Heartland storage sheds. Depending on your needs and your budget, one type might be more ideal than the other.
The first type is the smaller storage Heartland sheds, which measure around 8' x 6'. The larger sheds measure up to 10' x 12' and can be two stories high. All Heartland sheds are called pre-fabricated, or pre-fab sheds, since they come in a sort of "do-it-yourself" kit. The customer receives all the pieces and assembles the shed his or herself with minimal instruction. The sheds are also designed in such a way that you can paint them any color of your choosing. It's a cross between making your own shed from scratch, and buying an already-built shed that leaves you no room to add any personal touches.
The majority of the online reviews about Heartland storage sheds are positive. Most people agree that the set-up is easy and the designs are good. Heartland has a very good reputation, and for good reason. Their products are of very high quality and their designs are practical. Each shed comes with easy-to-follow instructions and their customer service is friendly and efficient. However, some customers complain about the older designs and say that the material is not rot-proof. These complaints are of sheds that are over 15 years old. Other customers feel that the sheds are too complicated, and would have preferred a simple and smaller design. Overall though, the reviews of Heartland sheds are pretty positive.
If you are looking for a chic wooden shed that can last a long time and handle the weather or a shed that you can build yourself that is a bit on the bigger side, then a Heartland shed is the ideal option for you.

"Do these sunglasses make my butt-chin look big?"
You fat fuck, you
I think you meant "Jay Leno".
On location, filming the Kelly Clarkson biopic.
She's transforming into Austin Powers before our very eyes.
I don't often advocate plastic surgery but she is awfully young to have such fat jowls.
Well…. looks like someone is about to start punching back up dancers again.
They've officially changed the definition of "demi" to no longer mean "half-sized."
Wait, you mean Kelly Osbourne right? Jeeeesus!
Still a bit jowly, but otherwise I think Hillary Clinton's plastic surgery looks good.
Anyone feel like bowling?
Wow, HBO went all out hiring a Liberace lookalike for the press junkets.
Ok, let's do an F Marry Kill. Demi Lovato, Demi Moore, and Demi Delia (google it). And go.
Demi LoFatO
Groovy Baby! I'm back as a woman!

Article: Recombinant Human Erythropoietin in Combination with Chemotherapy Increases Breast Cancer Metastasis in Preclinical Mouse Models[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) are used clinically for treating cancer-related anemia. Recent clinical trials have reported increased adverse events and reduced survival in ESA-treated breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, potentially related to erythropoietin (EPO)-induced cancer progression. However, minimal preclinical data are available about the impact of EPO on metastatic cell behavior and/or the metastatic process, and this was the goal of our study. Breast cancer cell lines were treated with recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) and screened for expression of EPO receptors (EPOR). MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cell lines were used for functional assays in vitro (two-dimensional/three-dimensional growth and survival) and in vivo (tumorigenicity and metastasis), in the presence or absence of EPO and/or cytotoxic agents. A large variation in EPOR expression across cell lines was observed. In vitro, rHuEPO had a protective effect on radiation-treated MDA-MB-435 cells (P < 0.05); however, rHuEPO treatment alone or combined with chemotherapy or hypoxia did not influence cell survival. In vivo, rHuEPO increased lung metastases in immunocompromised mice injected with MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-435 cells and treated with chemotherapy relative to mice treated with chemotherapy alone (P < 0.05). The lack of an in vitro effect of rHuEPO highlights the importance of in vivo studies to delineate the effects of EPO on the metastatic process. These studies may begin to uncover the underlying functional explanation for the observed EPO-related adverse events and decreased survival in ESA-treated metastatic breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Clinical Cancer Research 08/2011; 17(19):6151-62.

Article: Lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer cells is associated with differential gene expression profiles that predict cancer stem cell-like properties and the ability to survive, establish and grow in a foreign environment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although lymphatic dissemination is a major route for breast cancer metastasis, there has been little work to determine what factors control the ability of tumor cells to survive, establish and show progressive growth in a lymph node environment. This information is of particular relevance now, in the era of sentinel lymph node biopsy, where smaller intranodal tumor deposits are being detected earlier in the course of disease, the clinical relevance of which is uncertain. In this study, we compared differentially expressed genes in cell lines of high (468LN) vs. low (468GFP) lymphatic metastatic ability, and related these to clinical literature on genes associated with lymphatic metastatic ability and prognosis, to identify genes of potential clinical relevance. This approach revealed differential expression of a set of genes associated with 'cancer stem cell-like' properties, as well as networks of genes potentially associated with survival and autonomous growth. We explored these differences functionally and found that 468LN cells have a higher proportion of cells with a cancer stem cell-like (CD44+/CD24-) phenotype, have a higher clonogenic potential and a greater ability to survive, establish and grow in a foreign (lymph node and 3D Matrigel) microenvironment, relative to 468GFP cells. Differentially expressed genes which reflect these functions provide candidates for investigation as potential targets for therapy directed against early lymphatic metastasis.International Journal of Oncology 09/2009; 35(2):297-308.

Taylor Swift's All-American Love
The Grammy winner fell hard for Conor Kennedy after celebrating the Fourth of July with his famous family in Cape Cod. The relationship got so serious, so fast (Taylor reportedly bought a home across the street from Conor's grandmother, Ethel Kennedy), there were rumblings the couple might even elope. But after a summer filled with idyllic beach strolls, ice cream dates, and a Jackie O-inspired wardrobe makeover, their young love proved to be nothing more than a summer fling. Taylor and the high school senior reportedly split sometime around October.
