Solaris 10 on x86 - start desktop problem
On Software » Solaris Operating System

I apologize for the lengthy blow-by-blow below. But I am hoping that more info of my problem is best. There are a number of forum posts that I have read regarding not getting to a desktop, but I haven't seen one with my problem, of not being able to get to a command line either.
Can not consistently get to a desktop on Solaris 10 (x86, 32-bit). And now, no command line either.
Are their 2 different windowing systems competing against each other here? I have seen multiple types of graphical login screens during this problem.
I installed Solaris 10 on x86 (32-bit). I installed everything possible (short of docs and Java Enterprise as I do not have CDs for those).
Upon first trying to boot after install, it said I needed to run kdmconfig to fix some video settings.
No matter what I try for video settings (video card, monitor and resolution), including the correct settings, the "test" for the new settings hangs indefinately.
I restart, tell it to skip the test (using F3), it gets me to a command line.
I can enter /usr/bin/gdm, and X starts (saw this on this forum).
Restart the machine and it gives command line login, but then automatically goes to:
"Starting Desktop Login on display :0..."
"Wait for the Desktop Login screen before loggin in"
Then it hangs indefinately. Let it go overnight and it is still hanging. I can not get command line. I know on a Sun box I can use Stop-A during boot. But how about on x86? I don't know. So I can not get to command line to do any kind of trouble-shooting (or, I just don't know how to get a command line).
Finally realized that before it says "Starting Desktop Login", it allows about 7 seconds at command line before freezing. If I type really fast and login in (this takes about 4 seconds to execute), and then quickly use: /usr/bin/gdm, it goes into the login for JDS.
I saw suggestion on this forum to run this to possibly fix problem:
/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -D
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
The commands executed, but upon restart it brought me to that error at the very beginning of this saga saying I needed to run kdmconfig. I did so, reluctantly tried to test my new settings, and it hangs as before. I restarted, went back into kdmconfig mode and pressed F3 to skip the new settings/test procedure.
It now went to a completely different looking graphical login screen. This one has Solaris 10 branding and a small login box in the bottom right-hand corner (opposed to a gnome-looking box centered on the screen). It also asks me if I want CDE or JDS3 as a default. I say JDS3 and it starts the desktop successfully. Is this a different windowing handler? So I had to see what happens when I restart.
I restarted and a message comes up saying (this is from memory, it has left my screen) something like I need to run error management, provide root password. I do so, and it does its routine of:
"Starting Desktop Login on display :0..."
"Wait for the Desktop Login screen before loggin in"
...but then gives me a command line already logged in. But, no keyboard response. Locked up, logged in as root, with a blinking cursor. Can't do anything but reboot.
I do so, and it is back to asking telling me I have unfinished configuration and sends me to run kdmconfig after asking for a root password.
I do so and it goes back to the "run kdmconfig" message again. Now if I test the new kdmconfig settings, it hangs indefinately. If I skip the test (F3), it hangs (this used to get me to a command line, but no more). If I wait and don't enter kdmconfig it gives me "Wait for the Desktop Login screen..." and hangs.
OK, so what can I possibly do now? My goal is any of these:
1) Have it boot to command line where I can log in and execute /usr/bin/gdm
2) Have it boot to graphical log in
3) Any other method (don't care how) of getting to a JDS desktop
Thanks for any guidance.

What We Do
"Congratulations in designing a Day/Week planner that is so well suited for the Sales Industry. I have been in the sales industry for over forty years and I have never seen a better planner for a sales executive. Sales is a numbers/talent = results profession. A sales professional that uses your product faithfully will not fail unless they want to." - Martin Johnson, Advertising Sales Manager, Sacramento CA Under the official name of Get Set Go Sell, we have designed, created and are producing the PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner (patent pending) which we sell on eBay, Amazon and at our website www.GetSetGoSell.com. The PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner was designed using the experience acquired as a top performing sales rep in several different sales industries. Besides being designed to better fit a Salespersons daily needs versus a generic appointment book - by including sections for follow-up, referrals, next week's obligations, sales and commissions records, and daily performance numbers - PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner will help a salesperson increase their sales and they commissions by integrating the sales industry's most important sales management tools right into the sales planner: *Pipeline Report - a running report of all potential and pending sales *Objective Tracking - track, update and apply each week's sales towards your remaining objective in order to always know exactly how much more you must sell to hit your goals *Performance Tracking - by entering the numbers that PipelinePro calls for you to enter at the end of each day, combined with the weekly records of your sales and objective progress - all managed within PipelinePro- you will have all of the numbers that you need to calculate your sales plan. *Sales Plan - The most important tool for a sales representative. It uses their exact numbers to calculate important statistics on their personal performance that are used to calculate exactly what they must do each day in order to hit their sales objective goals. Many sales reps are confused by these numbers and formulas, which prevents them from using as tools to be more successful. PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner makes it easy to create your own sales plan each and every week by including all of these formulas in the proper order in a super easy to understand format... all a rep has to do is plug in the numbers that they have collected in their planner throughout the week and they will be able to see within minutes exactly: *How many cold calls they must make in order to set one appointment *How many appointments they must hold in order to make one sale *Based on their remaining sales objectives: how many sales must be made per week, how many appointments must be held in order to make that many sales per week and how many cold calls must be done each day/week in order to make that many appointments.
How It Works
Most companies that have outside, or even inside, sales forces allow each individual sales representative to decide what he or she would like to use to keep track of their weekly appointment schedule. This leads to a very diverse assortment of appointment tracking methods and required additional time from sales managers to require and collect weekly calendars in order to know what their sales team will be doing throughout the week. Based on experience as a sales representative and as a sales manager I propose that adopting companywide usage of PipelinePro Daily Sales would benefit companies with sales forces in the following ways: 1. Reduce the amount of time spent by management trying to accumulate weekly appointment data from reps using various different scheduling methods. 2. Increase sales performance by creating a strong habit of utilizing the industry's most important sales management tools - easily done because they are integrated directly into the sales planner itself. 3. Save training time by allowing sales reps to gain a strong understanding of their sales numbers much quicker than if they were using various sales sheets and a generic schedule book. 4. Lower turnover caused by the tough and frustrating initial learning curve in many sales industries. We have submitted our first proposal to a large, California based, advertising company with a full outside sales force operating out of 16 offices throughout the state with an offer for them to "test drive" the product before making a decision on whether to adopt it as a companywide requirement in 2013.
Why Buy / How We're Different
In the current economy effective Salespeople are becoming even more important as a lifeline to bring new business into companies. Because of the increased pressure for sales the sales industry is becoming more and more challenging. The best salespeople have amazing talent, creativity, communication skills and a strong drive - a kind of "full speed ahead" approach to work, and usually to life in general. Of the many sales reps that I have coached I have found that these types of fabulous salespeople tend to have a very hard time slowing down, concentrating and learning how to read complicated sales objective sheets, learning how their objectives are calculated, how objectives can change and be modified by new or removed accounts, and how to calculate the formulas to create a sales plan, etc. Without this knowledge it is hard to balance as a sales professional, it can lead to missed goals, punishments and a ruining of morale - devastating a salesperson that puts their heart and soul into their selling but just doesn't quite understand the other half of their job description. As a new sales rep I had an explosive campaign, I outsold every one of my teammates... times TWO! I did not have any understanding of how my numbers worked and did not realize that my manager was putting "dead" accounts onto me "because I was so far ahead I could absorb the hit". Turns out that my manager added a few too many, raised my objective to an enormous amount and caused me to miss hitting my objective, miss a $6,000 bonus, miss a gold sales award to be presented in Las Vegas and to miss official recognition for my sales achievements - I missed my objective by .07%! I had no idea until a full year later when I had finally learned how my sales numbers actually worked. I was heartbroken, frustrated and it effected my performance for a long time. It was completely avoidable! THAT is the reason I created PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner. PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner will be marketed to the following: Individual buyers – Marketed through Amazon, eBay and www.GetSetGoSell.com which traffic is driven to by use of three Google AdWords campaigns – Salespeople, New Hires in the Sales Industry and Sales Managers/Trainers which will go live again in mid-November 2012. Companies with Large Sales Forces- Marketed with a full Advertorial advertisement and article in Selling Power Magazine for its October, November and December issue. This is a main staple of our marketing efforts because it is a magazine that is specifically targeted to our exact ideal customer and because our strong selling season can be specifically targeted.
We are also doing direct marketing to large sales companies by sending them a free copy of PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner with a short presentation on its benefits for their company.
History, Traction, & Why We're Raising
The idea for PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner hit me in mid-January 2012. I spent two weeks hand drawing ideas of what it could look like and what it should include, as well as doing research into the possibility of creating it and building it myself. After two intensive weeks I decided to move forward with the product. I set a timeline for myself for 6 weeks to take this product from concept to retail launch. 5 weeks and 5 days later the first book was being assembled and we were rushing to get our credit card processing up and going and to secure a UPC code in order to launch sales on the website and on Amazon.com. I truly wish that the idea had hit me back in OCTOBER so that I could have launched this product during its strong selling season (like trying to launch sales of a new type of Christmas lights in March!!). Because of my bad timing there have been a few sales that have trickled in but nothing substantial. It was decided to use the printed 2012 books as marketing pieces for the 2013 books. I want to create a version of PipelinePro Daily Sales Planner in Mobile App (Android, iPhone, etc.) form. Of the initial feedback I have received many have requested an electronic version. I have the concept ready to go and several designers interested in the project. I need to raise $5,500 to build the app. On Fundable.com my goal is to raise $12,500.00. $7,500 of this money is to make a big splash with my product by marketing it in the industry specific, end of the year issue of Selling Power Magazine. Selling Power magazine reaches over 20,000 Sales Professionals, Sales Managers and Owners/CEO's of Sales Companies. It is the issue that will be handed out to the top sales executives at the Sales 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, California on October 23rd 2012. I think it is the key to launching this product. $5,000 of this money is to build the Mobile Application version of this Product - which I would love to have completed in time to include it in the advertisement and article in Selling Power.

Steelers receiver didn't mean to litter
Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders said Tuesday that he didn't intend to break the state's anti-littering laws and hopes there's still room for him in a local anti-littering campaign.
Speaking in the locker room during a break from Steelers minicamp, Sanders said he never meant to do anything wrong.
"I think littering is more throwing trash on the ground and knowing that you're wrong for it," he said. "I actually put the trash in the trash can. That's the big difference."
Sanders, 25, and Antonio Brown, 23, pleaded guilty Monday in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court to leaving boxes beside a private Dumpster on West Warrington Avenue in Beltzhoover. A judge fined each $300 plus court costs.
The Pennsylvania Resources Council partnered with the mayor's office on the anti-litter campaign, which included a television ad featuring Sanders encouraging people not to litter. David Mazza, regional director for the council, said Monday that it is pulling Sanders' ad until it could talk to him.
Mazza didn't return calls yesterday. Sanders could not be reached for comment later in the afternoon on whether he had heard from the Resources Council.
The campaign's website, www.donttrashmyturf.org, no longer provides a link to the Sanders ad.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who is featured in another of the ads, announced in May that Pittsburgh police will more strictly enforce the city's litter ordinances and fine scofflaws who throw trash on the ground.
Mayoral spokeswoman Joanna Doven said Monday that while the incident with Sanders is "unfortunate," it doesn't change the mayor's commitment to the anti-littering campaign.
She didn't return calls yesterday seeking mayoral response to Sanders' wish to remain in the campaign.

It is important to remember that elevation data from all sources (barometric altimeters, GPS signals, and databases) is subject to error and that the elevation gain for an activity is an estimate. We are always working on improving our elevation data sets and algorithms.
Elevation on a segment
Segments are always created from a Strava activity and as a result, they inherit some of that activity's characteristics.
Elevation on an activity
Elevation on activity pages will be calculated in one of two ways: cross-referencing the GPS data to a database or by using the barometric data in the original file.
Elevation on a route
Our Strava Route Builder uses our own personal database to calculate elevation data. The GPS data of the route gets cross-referenced to this database when Route elevation is calculated. This is not the same database that we use for activity elevation.
Why is my activity's elevation different than my friend's?
Even though you may have done the exact same ride as your friend, each GPS devices will record its own unique set of data. This GPS data will always be different because of the inherent variables involved in recording GPS data: recording interval (the time between GPS points), signal strength, GPS hardware, etc. The differences in the GPS data may cause differences in the calculated elevation data.
Another source of confusion is comparing elevation data from an activity with barometric data to that of an activity that has gone through our correction process. Both are accurate ways of totaling elevation for GPS data, but the 'corrected' data is getting cross-referenced to an elevation database whereas the barometric elevation is being pulled from the data the barometric altimeter recorded into the file.
Why is my activity's elevation different than the route I created?
Routes cross-reference our own personal database for elevation while activities will use either a national database or barometric data. For more information, see this section of our elevation article.
My device has a barometric altimeter, why is Strava recalculating the elevation?
If you recorded your activity with a GPS device that has a barometric altimeter, but Strava isn't using that data, it's possible that device is not yet in our database or that the file you uploaded is missing a Device ID. We occasionally see this when activities get synced through 3rd parties so if you know the device is in our database, please try uploading the original file from the device. If you still have questions, please submit a support ticket and include a link to the Strava activity.
How do you calculate elevation gain?
Elevation data on Strava is smoothed to take out noise— we have a 'threshold' where climbing needs to occur consistently for more than 10 meters before it is added to the total elevation gain. If we did not have this threshold, the elevation numbers would be inflated for longer activities. This gain threshold applies for both rides and runs.
My friend and I are using the same GPS device, but our elevation is different for the same ride—why?
Please refer to this section of our elevation article.
Why does Strava recalculate my elevation data? My device records its own data.
Because elevation data derived from a GPS signal is fairly inaccurate, Strava automatically corrects elevation derived from a GPS source by consulting elevation databases to determine the elevation at each point in the activity. Our thresholds and smoothing process may differ from that of the other platform or GPS device.
The data recorded by my barometric altimeter is wrong, can I correct this?
If you suspect that your elevation data is incorrect, you can request an elevation lookup. Click on the "Elevation?" text under the elevation statistic in the overview (shown below). A dialogue pops up with a button to "Correct Elevation." This button will only appear for data collected with a barometric altimeter (or in rare cases where a previous automatic elevation correction failed.) After a short while, the "Calculating" text will change to "Updated," and if you click on "Updated" your page will refresh with the new elevation data. While it is possible to revert back to the barometric data, this will require your activity to be reuploaded and you will lose any kudos/comments on that activity.
|Elevation Correction
Can I edit the elevation on my activity?
No, it's not currently possible to make a manual edit to the elevation on an activity.
Can I input elevation for manual activities?
Not at this point in time, but you can vote for that feature here.
Why is the elevation total on the segment page different than on my activity?
The elevation stat reported on the segment leaderboard page may differ from the elevation stat you see next to your segment effort on your activity. This is because the elevation stat on your segment effort is based off of the data in your file. Please refer to this section for how each stat is calculated.
|Segment elevation as shown on Segment Leaderboard Page
|Elevation for a segment effort on an activity
Elevation databases
For devices without barometric altimeters, we consult elevation databases to determine the elevation at each point in the activity. The resolution of these databases can vary based on location. For example, the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED), which we consult for activities located in the US, generally has a 10 meter resolution though some small areas have a 3 meter resolution. For activities located outside of the US, we consult the ASTER and SRTM databases which have a resolution of anywhere from 30 to 90 meters.
Barometric altimeters
Barometric altimeters determine altitude by measuring atmospheric pressure. Measurements can be affected by changes in the weather or the sensor holes getting blocked by water or other debris. Device manufacturers may provide basic calibration procedures. For example, Garmin devices with barometric altimeters allow a certain number of manual elevation points to be set; starting an activity near an elevation point causes the device to use the known elevation as the starting point. Consult the manual for your device to learn about calibration procedures. We generally consider the data from barometric altimeters to be of higher quality than the data derived from GPS signals and prefer that when processing activities.
Typical problems with barometric devices:
The elevation profile looks like it is drifting over time. This can happen with barometric altimeters as the weather changes (eg. the atmospheric pressure rises or drops, causing the altimeter to measure as though it is at a lower or higher altitude).
Other Known Issues and Problematic Terrain:
Strava hosts a variety of athletic challenges for our athletes, some of which have elevation/climbing goals. Due to the high visibility of these challenge leaderboards, elevation based errors will surface more easily than they would normally. As mentioned above, there are many uncontrollable variables involved in calculating elevation gain. These variables can lead to exaggerated elevation totals, particularly if the activity takes place in an international, mountainous or coastal region. If you notice activities with inaccurate elevation gain, please do not flag them. Most of the time this is a result of poor database resolution, which is out of the athlete's control. If you have a question about a specific activity, or feel you've found an activity that is far too distorted, please submit a support ticket so we can take a look.

I confess to being a little bit of a "True Believer" when it comes to criminal defense. My close colleagues and I do our best to humanize our clients, many of whom have done stupid things, and try to make others relate to their human frailty. Everyone is frail, even prosecutors, even police officers, even judges (and some defense lawyers). In our clients, human flaws are most often the root of criminal charges, that people are too selfish about their actions, or implusive due to desperation or financial stress, or influenced by alcohol or drugs, jealousy, mental illness. A good criminal defense lawyer reminds us that we are all imperfect, and asks us to view the world through the eyes of the PERSON that is his client, as his reality exists. Whether you know it or not, we all know or are related to someone who has done something that amounts to a felony, whether or not they were ever caught or charged. And frankly, you might even think they are a pretty decent person, the kind of people you'd be friends or family with. That's part of what makes this job doable instead of unbearable, keeping things reasonable, at a minimum.

Tell me how well your baby responds to restrictions, you saying no, off limits areas, and so on.. does your baby understand and always comply to no at this point?
Of course not. They are young toddlers.
Babyproofing and redirection are mostly the name of the game at this age. We try very hard not to overuse the word "no" so it doesn't lose it's meaning.
Our one and only little dude was born 12/30/2011!
Mommy to a Guppy Fish (3) and a Buggy (1)
LO driving you crazy? Alpacawineglass!
Check out my Etsy Shop! etsy.com/shop/StenMarie
Just yesterday I was telling her not to touch something. I said "no, we don't touch it" and she turned, looked at me, reached out her hand to the item and said "touch it!"
So she understands but chooses to ignore me. But they're just toddlers
sometimes she listens but most of the time she doesnt. if i tell her no she will stop, look at me and then keep doing it until i move her. i know she understands the word no but she chooses not to listen most of the time. stubborn girl
We're trying not to use the word "no" for stuff she shouldn't touch. It's too vague a word and doesn't actually convey any instructions for what she is supposed to do. So we have recently started saying "Leave it" whenever we want her to stop touching something.
I'll let you know if we have any success, haha!
If we say no to anything, lo wil shake his head no and say no. lol We redirect a lot b/c we are still trying to babyproof our new home. He is so determined and persistent though! We can redirect 20 times, and he'll go right back to whatever he's doing.
Jenny- SAHM to DD (2/07), DS (7/10), DS (12/11), and DD (10/13)
My LO understands in that he stops, looks at me and usually continues to do whatever it is while laughing until i actually physically stop him. But i think he totally understands i want him to stop, he just doesnt feel the need to.

An "all star" movie of captains and first officers wouldn't be like that at all. It would be too contrived. First, it would be contrived in how they get together from across time.

For Hollywood hacks yeah. Whendon did just fine.
Who's Iron Man anyways?
In a 5-year period prior to
we had Iron Man movies, a Thor movie, a Captain America movie and a Hulk movie. By the time
came out, the general movie-going public were reminded of/became familiar with these characters who would eventually team up for that film.
Unless you are saying we should first have a separate Sisko movie, a separate Janeway movie, a separate Archer movie and a separate Picard movie in the few years prior to them teaming up for your
-style Star Trek film, I doubt the general movie-going public would care that much about those characters.
Even then, I don't think those characters are all interesting enough to carry their own film. More people knew who Iron Man and the Hulk were before their separate movies came out than who know who Janeway, Archer, and Sisko are. Granted, a lot of people know who Picard and Kirk are, and we DID already have one "Picard and Kirk save the Galaxy" film -- but the advantage of that film was that it had the original actors.
Walk into splintered sunlight;

The 17 elements which are classified as "rare earth" are becoming an ever more crucial aspect of our everyday lives. Rare earth metals are the life blood of modern computers, batteries and alternative energies. For instance, there are almost ten lbs of the rare earth element, lanthanum, in each and every Toyota Prius motor. Additionally, rare earth elements are crucial to military technologies. Contrary to the name, rare earth metals are not particularly uncommon and may be found in most any region throughout the world. In recent weeks the government made significant strides to increase production of these types of metals, as they will play a significant part in President Obama's upgrades to US energy.
Rare earth elements have become irreplaceable in clean tech, for instance in hybrid and electric vehicle motors, high-efficiency lamps, solar panels and wind turbines. They even play a key role in defense technologies which include cruise missiles, radar and sonar and precision-guided weapons.
Experts warn that the U.S. depends upon China for almost all of its supply of rare earths, and has let its own rare earth production languish despite possessing about 15 % of the world's reserves. A draft of a Chinese rare earths plan for 2009-2015 expresses that China's own industrial requirement could soon cause restrictions or bans on the export of rare earths.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) noted that 91 % of U.S. usage of rare earths originated in China between 2005 and 2008.
Constraints on Chinese exports are creating opportunities for non-Chinese projects.
AVOT recently reported that it is presently in final discussions to enter into a formal agreement to acquire an exclusive option on a molybdenum property in the Otter lake area in the province of Quebec, Canada. The property has been dormant since the 1960's when Hupon Mining and Exploration carried out surface work, stripping, trenching and a minor drill program of 445 feet contained in 11 drill holes. Some of the sample results from the trenching in 1962 showed 0.94% to 25% molybdenum averaging 5-10%. These values were obtained from assessment files in the Department of Mines in Quebec City.
This property is only one of several advanced stage properties AVOT has under consideration in the province of Quebec.
AVOT will aggressively continue to search world wide for opportunities in Precious, Base and Rare Earths metal projects.

Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson wearing a Labatt beer T-shirt was pretty much all it took to get the attention of a packed stadium of men at a British Columbia Lions pro-football game in 1989. When a cameraman focused on Pam and she was blasted across the JumboTron, the crowd cheered so loudly that she was brought down to the 50-yard line. She also caught the eye of Labatt execs, who signed her to a commercial contract and made her their official Labatt's Blue Zone girl.

Welcome to Sail-World.com's UK e-magazine for August 20, 2014. Bart's Bash will take place in one month on Sunday 21st September 2014, and is set to become the world's biggest yacht race. To date over 2364 sailors and 588 yacht clubs from 50 different countries have signed up to be competitors. Each club makes its own race within a 24hr period on that date. Most are aiming for a huge spectacular start line with juniors competing alongside seniors in a unique event.
July 28, 2012 Iain Percy and Bart Simpson, GBR Star Two Man keelboat - 2012 Olympics
If you do race on the day, you will be racing against Ben Ainslie in a Finn, Iain Percy in a Star, Paul Goodison in a Moth, Jimmy Spithill in a Melges E-Scow and Loick Peyron in his Trimaran and probably a thousand Optimist sailors by the time race day arrives.
The event is to celebrate the life of AC sailor Bart Simpson and a fundraiser for the Andrew Simpson Foundation. It is also going to be the biggest regatta in world sailing, and if the sailing community gets behind the concept will become 'World Sailing Day' - a great advertisement for the sport.

Oman Sail - Start 2014 Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race
2014 Seven Star Round Britain and Ireland Race became a record breaking year, but also became a test of endurance for all the boats finishing the 1.800 miles race.
Musandam-Oman Sail, a MOD70 Trimaran have set a new provisional world record for the Round Britain and Ireland course. They crossed the finish line off the Royal Yacht Squadron last Thursday with an elapsed time of 3 days, 03 hours, 32 minutes, 36 seconds. This breaks the previous Record for a multihull held by Banque Populaire 5 in 2011, by 16 minutes, 38 seconds and is subject to ratification by the World Speed Sailing Record Council.
Azzam, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing's Volvo Ocean 65 skippered by Ian Walker
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing's Volvo Ocean 65, Azzam, skippered by Ian Walker, crossed the finish line of the 2014 Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race off the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes with an elapsed time of 4 days, 13 hours, 10 minutes, 28 seconds.
This breaks the previous course record for a monohull set by Volvo 70 Groupama, in 2010, by 1 day, 8 hours, 16 minutes and 27 seconds. Azzam's record is subject to ratification by the World Speed Sailing Record Council.
This was the second course record broken during the 2014 Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race, and Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing also fired a huge warning shot across the bows of the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 boats. At the same time the record showed that the new one-design Volvo Ocean 65 is more than a match for speed, in the right conditions, for its predecessor, the Volvo Open 70. So we can expect a very competitive and exiting VOR race, starting in Alicante on October 4th.

Facials make your skin as smooth and radiant as a GarnerTech Energy Cube™–"The Glowing Box You Should Avoid Prolonged Eye Contact With!" Get a healthy glow with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $52 for a medical-grade facial (a $119 value)
The cleansing facial conditions skin and removes surface impurities with medical-grade skin care products; any necessary extractions are included.
Dr. Rodger Stratt, BodyCare's founder and medical director, supervises every single one of the clinic's procedures—which included more than 500 body contouring treatments last year. After spending 10 years as an ER physician, Dr. Stratt changed his career path and now specializes in minimally invasive alternatives to liposuction, such as Smartlipo and Liposculpture.

How Does a Retailer's Service Plan Affect a Manufacturer's Warranty?
A service plan is a type of optional warranty beyond manufacturers' base warranties that retailers offer to consumers. In this paper, we examine how a service plan affects the role played by a manufacturer's base warranty. Analysis shows that when consumers can assess product quality (i.e., the probability of product failure), the manufacturer's warranty is negatively affected by the presence of a service plan. In the presence of such a plan, a base warranty is offered only when the manufacturer is very cost-efficient in providing a warranty relative to the retailer. In this case, although the double-marginalization problem is aggravated, offering a (limited) base warranty reduces the total warranty cost in the channel and provokes the retailer into enlarging the service plan coverage. When consumers cannot assess product quality, a high-quality manufacturer is motivated to offer a base warranty to signal its quality. In the presence of a service plan, however, a very cost-efficient manufacturer is discouraged from doing so. This paper was accepted by Preyas Desai, marketing.

NRG Energy Inc
.'s (
) flagship retail outlet Reliant is anticipated to be a major
revenue churner for the company and will lead to net customer
additions in the coming years. The company's solar business also
looks promising with its Agua Caliente officially becoming the
largest operating solar PV plant in the US. We thus upgrade our
recommendations on NRG Energy Inc. from Underperform to Neutral.
Failure to properly modernize transmission infrastructures and
restrictive transmission price regulation could also decrease the
company's availability of adequate transmission capacity. This
would lead to inefficiencies in end user services.
Generic downside factors like sudden plant outage, fuel supply
disruption or reduction in the available capacity of a unit could
increase the company's financial burden. Besides, weather
irregularities could affect power demand limiting the company's
earnings potential.
NRG maintained its 2012 adjusted EBITDA guidance in the range of
$1,825 million to $2,000 million. The 2012 guidance for free cash
flow was also reaffirmed at $800 million to $1,000 million.
The company also expects to pay a quarterly dividend of 36 cents
per share, with the first payment likely to be made during third
quarter 2012. The Zack Consensus Estimates for the second quarter
and full-year 2012 are currently pegged at 21 cents per share and
86 cents per share, respectively.

Serenity Day Spa is slated to open immediately after its projected November completion.
Tony Hua, spa owner, is reportedly leading the estimated $50,000 construction remodel on the just over 2,100 square feet of space. He is also owner of Hua's Mongolian Grill on Plaza Way.

Welcome and thank you for visiting our Indiegogo page. This campaign is so important to us because it is a way to offer this sacred music in a visual expression. Your contribution allows for us as musical artists to collaborate with video production and create visual and musical masterpieces of love embodied. We are also dreaming up a way to bring Kristopher Love to Bali to shoot our next video, 'This is the Day' off of the new Kirtronica album set to release this May!
Just think, if 2000 people donate $5, we will make our campaign!! The sooner you donate the better. The first time you see the video is best! It eliminates the "I'll do it later syndrum" and perhaps you forget. ;) It also builds momentum for the campaign. Thank You!!
What We Need & What You Get!
So here is what we are asking for... we are looking to raise $10,000 for this and more upcoming videos. The next video we have in mind is "This is the Day". We plan on doing footage in Bali for this video. A big part of the fundraising efforts is to get Kristopher to Bali with Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda. Any help is great!! For tax deductible donations, please click here:
Where does your money go? First and foremost, it will go to help get Kristopher Love to Bali to shoot the next video. It also goes to pay for camera equiptment, travel expenses (vehicle, insurance, gas...), living expenses (food, rent, bills, etc), and computer/ video production programs. This video was shot in the Sedona, AR area, Jedidiah Smith Redwoods National Park as well as various other locations. This video has taken over six months to complete as well as countless hours by Kristopher, Ananda and Jaya Lakshmi. We would be so grateful for anything you would like to offer.
What will you get for supporting this project? In return for your support, we have various offerings depending on the amount of your contribution. We are offering a copy of the song, the album that Bow to You is on, a personal copy of the video, other albums of Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda, private music lessons, private concerts (depending on your location and travel expenses) and even your own personal video created by Kristopher Love!
The ImpactThe theme of the video and song 'Bow to You' is one of deep reverence for life and our creator. It is an expression of love and devotion for the beauty and majesty of the earth. It is also a representation of the balanced masculine and feminine living and creating in harmony.Unlike most music videos, 'Bow to You' does not focus solely on the artist.
Other Ways You Can Help
If perhaps you are not in the position to contribute, that's fine. But if you feel inspired, help spread the word. Post the link on your Facebook, put on your twitter account, email friends and family, and tell people about it via word of mouth. The video is up and you can view it as many times as you would like!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Any links? Thanks guys an cool forum!
Im i allowed to bump?
Yes there are several, you have to be careful how much stuff you put back there depending on the height of your seat post.
They tend to be pricey. some of the bags mount directly to the cage mounts.
Go low with the water bottles and mount them to the seat post. And then.
and is whats on my bike
Or go way out back and mount the seat bag underneath
You can also talk to some of thee guys over in the tri forums and what they are using

I use a Mintoura 2 bottle cage mount to mount my Carradice bag,
onto my non leather non Brooks saddle..
They at least used to make one that I had no problems with. It attached to the saddle rails and allowed you to mount 2 standard bottle cages. I know it is somewhere in my stuff.
I use an inexpensive handlebar bag from Benny's. It not only hold everything, they make you more aerodynamic.
Bike riding New England gentleman.
If you can still find one. the older Minoura 300U holds two cages up above the saddle. Makes it hard to mount with your leg over the saddle. Won't mount to a Brooks.

Alexandru Groza - Projects
Please pick-up a project:
About me and my projects...
I am a long time computer programmer and electronics engineer.
I started computer programming back in 1993 on an 80386SX/25MHz machine using x86 Assembly language and Borland Pascal with Objects. Because scarcity of information was everywhere, I learned programming mainly by trial and error and reading the Help system of the various tools I was using back then. I learned various strong design guidelines from old computer literature of the era. This is my underlying stone on which I build all of my knowledge.
I was always strongly driven to create functional minimalist graphical user interfaces to access the business logic behind the my software. Regarding the source code, I always guided myself by the less is more principle. Heavily structured self-explaining source code ultra optimized and not a single line more than needed. I have been faithful to these principles ever since.
Although I owned and worked on both RISC and CISC architectures based on various microcontrollers, Z80, x86 and derivatives, etc., I always emphasized the x86 architecture. Pure nostalgia? I even started designing my own computers such as a few Z80 designs and even an 80286 based design that was never materialized due to lack of resources at the time. But I still have the electrical schematics.
Speaking of electrical schematics, at about the same time I started with programming, I began assembling electrical circuits based on schematics published within the literature of the era. In time I started designing my own. I am interested in analog audio signal amplification and digital microelectronics.
Of the projects presented on top of the page, I regularly maintain only two: Microprogramming TECHNIQUES and Lumea Tuburilor. But more often I write articles in the Personal Weblog. Check it out if you have time. The other projects are displayed only for historical reasons and should be treated as archive.
This is a fairly good way of sharing knowledge and information. So ...
enjoy browsing my projects.

Sarah Palin Responds to Phil Robertson Scandalby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Wait a minute. Sarah Palin did not even read the entire article on GQ, and yet she is so quick to defend Phil Robertson's right to Free Speech? At least read the article, know what is quoted and written before saying anything. Remember, free speech doesn't mean hate speech.

Ancient Walls Discovered On Mars In NASA Photo, June 2014, UFO Sighting News.
- Uploaded by Exopoliticstv on Jun 28, 2014
- Views: 631
Date of discovery: June 2014Location of discovery: was looking over Mars photos when I came across this unique photo with massive walls throughout. The walls look like they were there to protect a city long ago. There are also some rectangle structures lined up one by one at the end section of one wall. If we saw these same structures on Earth, we would naturally assume that they were stone walls built by an ancient people. I believe in this matter that archeologists view would be more useful than that of NASA. We all know NASA doesn't like commenting about the possibility of life existing on Mars, so they will be no help in this matter.

Think this is good?1 person thinks this is good15 people think this is good
Hannah du Plessis
This is great. I'm inspired by people who take the courage to speak honestly about their experience with diabetes. Two years ago we did a study of the 'web of care' around a diabetic patient. We spend a long time with them, their family, doctor, nurse, friends etc. It was striking to see how shallow most people's perception of the problem is. Our learned response of "Just eat better, exercise more and take these pills" is an insult to the person struggling with the complexity of diabetes. Your work helps us engage with the deeply human and social complexity of the issue - thank you for sharing this with us!
Hannah Miet
Wow. What a powerful poem. I like how frankly she addresses the psychological nature of the problem. Diabetes is not often discussed this way.
