INTERVIEW: US eyes more projects in Gulf
Offshore oil and gas activities have experienced an increase in the Gulf states, causing it to attract some big eyes from the west
July 24, 2012 12:35 by Reuters
U.S. engineering firm Fluor Corp is eyeing opportunities in OPEC member states Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, where it sees increasing offshore oil and gas activities in the coming years, a senior executive at the firm said.
"We do see a trend to more offshore opportunities and see a number of offshore opportunities in Saudi Arabia,UAE and Qatar," Jose Bustamante, Senior Vice President for Fluor's Energy & Chemicals Group in the Middle East, told Reuters.
Currently the majority of oil production in top oil exporter Saudi Arabia comes from onshore oilfields but several offshore fields such as the giant Manifa in Saudi are in the works.
Bustamante did not see any slowdown in Gulf oil and gas projects based on the front-end engineering and design (FEED) work. "In chemicals, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are leading the new investments," he said.
State oil giant Saudi Aramco signed in the past month billions of dollars worth of deals with its partner Japan'sSumitomo Chemical to expand a petrochemical complex in Rabigh, while bidding continues for several units at the Sadara project, owned by Aramco and U.S. Dow Chemical.
Colin McKenzie, vice president for Fluor Saudi Arabia told Reuters in the same interview his company is interested in a long-term offshore engineering services contract that is expected to be retendered by Saudi Aramco as part of the state oil giant's plan to maintain potential production capacity in oil and gas fields.
The contract is due to expire in 2014 following an extension that Worley Parsons (WP), Aramco's current contractor for this project, obtained in March this year, a spokesman for WP said.
Fluor is also looking to win more deals in Iraq as it aims to increase its presence at the war-stricken country. The company, already working in Iraq's West Qurna One, is bidding for several projects for oil and gas facilities.
"…We have a number of proposals out there (which), if successful, will substantially increase our presence," Bustamante said. He did not elaborate.
Foreign oil firms working to develop giant oilfields in Iraq, including Exxon Mobil, recently issued several tenders for contractors to help with hammering out logistics and construction work at targeted oilfields.

Moon Hooch are unique, they have a sound, mixing contemporary jazz with synths, vocals, duel saxophones and all manner of other less traditional instrumentation to create a sound that's both infectious and experimental.
On the verge of the band's new EP, Eat Your Veggies, I thought I should have a chat with Wenzl McGowen to find out those Perfect Ten albums that have helped inspire, influence or infatuate the band, here's what he had to say…..
Trout Mask Replica – Cpt. Beefheart
Truly inspiring album that laid a lot of groundwork for forward thinking
musicians in America.
Metal Machine Music – Lou Reed
Truly weird and innovative psychedelic music without the forced optimism its
The Third Reich 'n Roll – The Residents
Refreshing take on Rock n Roll top 40 turned on its backside.
Weasels Ripped My Flesh – Mother's Of Invention
A combination of loose jazz improvisation, relentless experimentation and
musical adventurousness.
God In Three Persons – The Residents
More of an opera than an album, unlike anything I have ever heard before.
Burnt Weeny Sandwich – Mothers Of Invention
Silly, fun and adventurous. Ian Underwood's piano work is incredible.
Karma – Pharoah Sanders
Introspective, experimental and extremely spiritual work with just enough
Atlantis – Sun Rah
Amazing control and build ups that leave me wanting more every listen.
Comme a la radio – Brigitte Fontaine
A mysterious & ethereal landscape with great vocal explorations

Santa Cruz County Bank In The News
Business Digest: Bank raises $2.5 Million
Santa Cruz County Bank announced Tuesday that it had raised $2,500,560 by issuing 241,600 shares of common stock.
The locally owned bank offered stock at $10.35 per share to a limited number of investors and closed the offering Nov. 19. The stock price has ranged from $8.05 to $12.95 in the past year.
Santa Cruz County Bank reports profitable quarter
Santa Cruz County Bank reported a profitable third quarter, with net income of $452,881, compared to $369,149 for the quarter that ended June 30 and $42,872 a year ago.
The quarter resulted in year-to-date net income of $1.1 million, a record for the locally owned bank, which opened in 2004.
"This accomplishment highlights the keen focus of our board and management on earnings achievement through strategic measures," David Heald, president and chief executive officer.
Santa Cruz County Bank welcomes strong Q2
Cost-savings measures and new income helped boost second quarter assets and profits for Santa Cruz County Bank.
The bank reported net income of $369,149 compared to net income of $66,243 for the same quarter a year ago, and $267,980 for the first quarter of 2010. Assets have climbed to more than $280.3 million. Non-interest bearing deposits, which represent 34 percent of the bank's total deposits, grew 35 percent from a year ago.
Santa Cruz County Bank touts profitability in tough times
Banks that started up six years ago have had tough times, according to statistics Santa Cruz County Bank chairman George Gallucci cited for 100 stockholders at the annual meeting Tuesday at Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos.
"Of 83 banks started since February 2004, only 18 were profitable. We were one of those," Gallucci said. "Of those 83, only four have a cumulative profit. Your bank is one of those banks."
Santa Cruz County Bank ranks third in California for USDA Rural Development loans
Banks that made loans to real estate developers who got caught in the housing market crash are putting aside money for losses instead of lending to jump-start the economy.
Santa Cruz County Bank doesn't have that problem.
In fact, the 7-year-old locally owned bank last month won a Lender Excellence Award from U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development.
SC County Bank business picks up in Q1
Higher net interest income, office consolidation and employee attrition helped boost the bottom line for Santa Cruz County Bank which reported a leap in net revenue to $267,980 from just $22,509 a year ago in the same quarter.
First quarter numbers, from loans to deposits to assets and the total number of accounts, all grew compared to this time last year.
Owner of Monet Salon and Spa, buffeted by illness and recession, seeking a buyer
Julie Monet has put her heart into her career as a hair stylist and owner of her own business, developing a loyal following. Now 50, she's facing an uncertain future.
In 2007, she was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease, a condition accompanied by acute neck pain, and advised by her doctor to give up her salon and spa.
Santa Cruz County Investors Think Local
Everyone loves to hate the big banks these days. So much so that a national movement called Move Your Money, which encourages individuals to take their money out of our nation's biggest banks and place it with community banks and credit unions, has enjoyed a groundswell of support since it came out a month ago. Even local banks have noticed.
"We've seen the number of accounts [go up] as a result of Move Your Money," says Mary Anne Carson, marketing director for Santa Cruz County Bank. "It is really making a difference for us, and I think people can feel good about the fact that their funds are going to local banks that will be reinvested in their community's economy."
Santa Cruz County Bank: 4th quarter modest, year-end profit up
Fourth-quarter earnings improved at Santa Cruz County Bank compared to the third quarter, generating a year-end profit of $203,000. That represents a solid increase over 2008, when year-end profit was $17,000.
However, earnings at the 6-year-old locally owned bank have not rebounded to pre-recession levels.
Net income for the fourth quarter was $71,000 compared to $218,000 in that quarter in 2008. The decrease was due to a $450,000 increase in provision for loan losses.
Move Your Borrowing Along with Your Money
The New Rules Project, in partnership with HuffPost's Move Your Money campaign, is using its Community Banking Initiative to get out the word that banking locally can put the power back in the hands of individuals and communities, rather than Wall Street's CEOs.
As more of us ditch the big banks in favor local banks and credit unions, we need to give thought to both the saving and lending sides of a bank. Each is crucial.
On the savings side, community-based financial institutions need our deposits much more than the big banks do. Big banks have access to other capital. While deposits account for 82% of the funds small banks have to work with, their share at the biggest banks is just 66% (and deposits made in the U.S. account for even less: just 39%).

gives energy but not good for people with ibs
Posted by gallbladdertreatment on Sep 01, 2012
It gives much energy and the flavour is good but it is little to heavy for people with IBS and digestion problems so better take it after lunch than with breakfast.
I have some doubts
Posted by CIPRIAN on May 02, 2012
I tried it since it has such a rich content. But to be honest, not much difference (if at all). I am the average person, I expected some boost, but nothing. It is slightly refreshing after you drink it, flavour is good, but otherwise not much. I guess I will stop being a fan of the all-in-one pulvers and get the more natural supplements. Anyway, I am rather neutral to it.

My daughter tried a container of the Metagenics Ultra clear Plus first = (for Chronic Fatigue) .....and found the product made an almost immediate difference in terms of her energy levels and general well being and was amazed at the difference in how she felt. The Enzymatic Therapy although good, doesn't seem to have made such a noticeable difference to her (she has nearly finished her first container)

yuck + ick = i can't get it down often enough to benefit
Posted by animot on Feb 26, 2011
please let the citrus flavor taste better than this one. "berry splash" is very hard to drink, not because of vitamin-y taste (which it doesn't really have, thank heavens), but, rather, because the stevia in here makes it way beyond sickeningly sweet. and nothing we mixed it with cut down on that cloying sweetness one bit. so, just writing in to suggest going with citrus for anyone in doubt (though i haven't tasted it yet), because i'm thinking it ought to be better mixed with tart things (like ascorbic acid powder or grapefruit juice or lemon or something) than this flavor. blech.

Tastes Good But . . .
Posted by Reviewer1958143 on Mar 29, 2010
I know this is a great product but it isn't for me. It sits in my stomach all morning and I burp up the B vitamins. I tried dissolving the powder in more than 8 oz of juice but it just made it worse.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1752616 on Mar 19, 2010
I bought this to help with hypothyroidism and it was great for the first week but I think my body got used to it so its not as effective now. I think I'm still on the road to recovery so I'm looking into other diagnosis. I'm going to stop use of this product and see if there is a difference.
So-So, Bit of Hassle to Take
Posted by Reviewer3257300 on Mar 13, 2010
This arrived with a plastic tub of the flavored powder that delivers the host of supplements, as well as punch-out sheets with the Vitamin B supplement. I don't always have yogurt on hand to mix the powder with, and tried it with about 6oz. of water. The taste was palatable, but could not notice any effects. This might require a number of tries, but in all honesty, I'd prefer to swallow a few tabs vs. mixing this powder up.
Wish I felt more energetic
Posted by Reviewer2838500 on Jan 26, 2010
Doesn't really give me the energy that I seek, but maybe I would be worse without it.
Not quite sure. . .
Posted by Reviewer1873397 on Dec 28, 2009
I took product in the morning as instructed, and had sleepless nights before I stopped taking it. Not sure if it was the formula, the Ultra Caps, or the combination of the two. Will research it a little more and try it again.

Wendy's fights development fee
Relevant offers
Wendy's burger chain is challenging Palmerston North City Council over the level of development contributions it has demanded for its Rangitikei St restaurant.
Wendco NZ Ltd's request for a review is to be considered by an extraordinary meeting of the council's hearings committee today.
The request for a hearing is being held behind closed doors.
The council's reason for keeping the public out under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act is to allow negotiations to be carried out.
The application for a review is being conducted a couple of weeks before the planned opening of Wendy's restaurant on November 26.
Committee chairman Bruce Wilson said today's meeting was not a hearing, but a pre-hearing review of the evidence to consider whether the application by Wendco, the company that runs Wendy's, would be considered.
Wendy's spokesman Danny Lendich told the Manawatu Standard last month the company was being asked to pay "a fortune", and was not happy about the amount.
But he said Wendy's did not want to upset anyone in Palmerston North, because it wanted their custom.

'Wake up and smell the coffee': Cameron warns global firms (including Starbucks) of a fresh clampdown on tax avoiders
- Prime Minister uses speech at World Economic Forum to promise to take on 'cowboy' companies
- UK presidency of the G8 in 2013 will lead global move to target tax avoidance
Britain will lead a new global clampdown on 'aggressive' tax avoiders, David Cameron vowed today.
The Prime Minister said customers were fed up with big firms who do not pay their way,
In an apparent swipe at Starbucks which failed to pay corporation tax in the UK for three years, he told world leaders and business bosses at the World Economic Forum in Davos to: 'Wake up and smell the coffee.'
Scroll down for video
David Cameron used a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos to reveal the G8 would target tax avoiders who refuse to pay their way
Mr Cameron said he would use the UK's G8 presidency in 2013 to take on 'cowboy' firms who avoid tax, driving up bills for those who play by the rules and harming public services.
The government has been under pressure to take action after a public backlash against firms including Starbucks, Amazon and Google who report multi-million pound revenues in the UK but pay little or no tax.
Mr Cameron said: 'After years of abuse, people across the planet are calling for more action and most importantly, there is gathering political will to actually do something about it.
He said the G8 – consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK and the US – would 'drive a more serious debate on tax evasion and avoidance.
Mr Cameron told business leaders that tax avoidance harmed public services and pushed up bills for those who pay their way
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg questioned the need for the PM to travel to Davos, claiming it was 'debatable' that anything is achieved.
But challenging the audience of some of the world's biggest companies, Mr Cameron warned: 'There's nothing wrong with sensible tax planning, and there are some things governments want people to do that reduce tax bills, such as investing in pensions, start-up businesses or charities.
'But some forms of avoidance have become so aggressive that I think it is right to say these raise ethical issues and it's time to call for more responsibility and for governments to act accordingly.'
Mr Cameron later met Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in Davos, to discuss his plans for the UK presidency of the G8
David Cameron was today was branded 'Europe's Scaredy-cat' in an editorial by the German news magazine Spiegel over his plans for an EU referendum.
In an online piece published today, it was claimed the PM's pledge to hold a referendum by 2017 was driven by 'fear'.
'Fear of his party, fear of voters, and fear of the EU itself, which he neither fully understands nor has ever really been interested in,' it said.
It claims his long-awaited speech on Europe was 'boring' and was 'an attempt to shake off a troublesome issue by postponing it to a later date'.
'He wants Europe to be a free trade zone with beach access. He missed an opportunity on Wednesday to haul Britain back to the centre of Europe.
'Apart from vague demands like competitiveness, flexibility and fairness, he has no idea how the EU should develop. 'His thinking on Europe is indecisive and chained to the present.
'What Europe witnessed on Wednesday was a speech delivered by a politician prone to knee-jerk reactions who lacks values or a vision. He lacks gravity. Cameron floats above Europe like an astronaut.'
The PM defended the idea of Tories forcing firms to pay more tax.
'I'm a low-tax Conservative, but I'm not a companies-should-pay-no-tax Conservative. Individuals and businesses must pay their fair share,' he said.
'Any businesses who think that they can carry on dodging that fair share or that they can keep on selling to the UK and setting up ever-more complex tax arrangements abroad to squeeze their tax bill right down - well, they need to wake up and smell the coffee because the public who buy from them have had enough.'
Poor business practices not only deprive the public sector of the revenue it needs to fund essential services, but also harm responsible firms, he said.
'When one company doesn't pay the taxes they owe, then other companies end up paying more," said Mr Cameron.
'When some cowboys play the system, all businesses suffer the fall-out to their reputation.
'That's why it's not just those in the NGOs who have been lobbying my Government on these issues, it's those in the high-rises of the City of London - bankers, lawyers, senior figures in finance.
'They've told us to pursue this agenda hard, and that's what we're going to do.'
Barbara Stocking, Oxfam Chief Executive, said: 'There can be no moral justification for companies wriggling out of paying their fair share to society.'
But Miles Dean, founder of Milestone International Tax Partners, said: 'Unless there is a uniform tax regime with a uniform tax rate and uniform accounting policy globally, David Cameron is banging his head against a brick wall.'
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said global efforts to tackle avoidance need to be matched by 'tougher action' domestically. 'The tens of billions of pounds raised would be a fairer and more effective way to tackle budget deficits than endless self-defeating austerity,' she added.
John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said: 'The majority of businesses pay the right amount of tax, and for the small minority which do not, times are getting tougher, and rightly so.
'The CBI does not condone highly abusive avoidance schemes which serve no commercial purpose other than the minimisation of tax, even if they are legal.
'In some cases the tax system is lagging behind commercial reality, particularly around the taxation of the digital economy and transfer pricing. As the Prime Minister highlights, the UK needs to work together with other countries, including the G8, to change the rules where appropriate, so that they are fit for the global business age.'

just restart your phone .
if it didnt work , im sorry but you must restore your iphones

Do you seriously think that for all those months of failed syncs I havent restarted my phones once? Or restored? :)
All my devices are on iOS5.01

I've been trying to solve this issue with 3 of my devices. Its infuriating. After wiping my phone to defaults, everyhting is fine until I restore. It appears to be some kind of data corruption issue, but I have no idea how to fix it at this point. There isn't any useful error in the phone console that might give hints.
The only suggestion I have for you at this point would be to wipe and start over without restoring

I prefer never to sync again than do that thanks.

I know it's not a cosolation, but I am having the same problem with my ipad1. It refuses to sync or update. In my case, I think itunes match is the culprit. It seems once you turn on itunes match on an IOS device you can no longer manually add files. If if you turn it off on your IOS device, the library gets hosed so that it won't sync properly in itunes. My only solution is to restore and never ever turn on itunes match on my ios devices.
Very frustrating. Restoring is 3-4 hours.

That would suffice if my iPad with iTunes Match wasn't syncing either.. but it does

in response to Stephen Banks
Same here - has to be the iTunes Match. Ipad1 synced perfectly until iTunes Match started its l-o-n-g march to completion. Still going after an entire weekend. Now, the pad just times out with the "Waitiing for sync to start...".
I had origninally turned on Match on the iPad1 then switched it off when it never listed any of the playlists. Now, the waiting....It times out everytime.
I hate Match. Wish I had never done this. Why can't I just undo this terrible mistake of a feature? There is no way to turn this off?

I haven't activated Match, but I had run into the same "waiting for sync to start" message that eventually timed out.
I cured my problem by running the same iTunes64Setup.exe that I used to upgrade to 10.6.1.7. The options were Repair and Uninstall. I chose Repair, then rebooted Windows as recommended. Now the sync works, to an iPad 2, to a 1st-gen iPod nano, and a 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle.
stocis May 3, 2012 9:50 AM

When I download iTunes it says that a later iTunes is already installed on this computer..
Please provide more details as to where/how you got that iTunes64Setup.exe
stocis May 3, 2012 9:58 AM
in response to bradmore
managed to choose the repair option of iTunes from the control panel - Add Remove Programs..
Unfortunately that did not solve the problem.

One day my iTunes also gave the same error after "waiting for sync to start". It gives this error for all 3 iPhones in use in my house and my iPad. Luckily this started happening after iOS 5 so syncing isn't as useful. It is very annoying not being able to listen to audiobooks (you have to sync to get them on the phone) on my new 4S. I have also tried restoring one phone and restarting all of them, none of these solutions worked. I have also reinstalled itunes (but I cannot rebuild my iTunes database, i have a lot of hand keyed in data). I hope someone finds a solution to this.
EastDog May 31, 2012 9:08 PM
in response to stocis
This is a horrendous bug. I haven't been able to sync for weeks. Tried everything that's been suggested. Once, after agonizingly restoring my iPhone, it synced. Once. Then, after that one sync, back to "waiting for sync to start." Ugh.
And now I just come to find out that my wife's iPhone hasn't synced in weeks either. This is utter garbage.
Is this related to iTunes Match? Becuase I have it, too, and there seems to be some correlation.

Strong El Niño Helped Lower U.S. Heating Costs
Was your heating bill a bit friendlier to your wallet this winter? If so, there's a good chance you can thank El Niño.

The Blue Orchard
The Blue Orchard
Touchstone Books, Paperback, 9781416592945, 393pp.
Publication Date: January 12, 2010
On the eve of the Great Depression, Verna Krone, the child of Irish immigrants, must leave the eighth grade and begin working as a maid to help support her family. Her employer takes inappropriate liberties, and as Verna matures, it seems as if each man she meets is worse than the last. Through sheer force of will and a few chance encounters, she manages to teach herself to read and becomes a nurse. But Verna's new life falls to pieces when she is arrested for assisting a black doctor with "illegal surgeries." As the media firestorm rages, Verna reflects on her life while awaiting trial.
Based on the life of the author's own grandmother and written after almost three hundred interviews with those involved in the real-life scandal, The Blue Orchard is as elegant and moving as it is exact and convincing. It is a dazzling portrayal of the changes America underwent in the first fifty years of the twentieth century. Readers will be swept into a time period that in many ways mirrors our own. Verna Krone's story is ultimately a story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit—and a reminder that determination and self-education can defy the deforming pressures that keep women and other disenfranchised groups down.
"The Blue Orchard held me in its spell. Taylor is a master storyteller and his novel is riveting, substantial, and unforgettable." -- WALLY LAMB, author of The Hour I First Believed
"The Blue Orchard is a classic, a great American novel that will astonish and quicken dead and bored parts of our hearts. This is a solid, true achievement that will stand the test of time. If Jackson Taylor never writes another word he has made his mark with The Blue Orchard." -- SAPPHIRE, author of Push
"This novel re-creates wonderfully a time, a place, and a circumstance in American life that drove women and men alike to break a law that could never -- and will never -- be obeyed. I found myself stirred repeatedly." -- VIVIAN GORNICK, author of The Solitude of Self: Thinking About Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Fierce Attachments
"[Taylor] illuminates the thorny ways of class, race, and gender. This is an amazing book." -- MARIE PONSOT, National Book Critics Circle award winner and author of Springing and Easy
"If you want to understand Roe v. Wade, Civil Rights, Nixon, Vietnam, Free Love, Free Sex, Pop Art, Howl, feminism, and the death of white gloves and veiled hats -- then read The Blue Orchard." -- ULTRA VIOLET, author of Famous for Fifteen Minutes: My Life with Andy Warhol
"The Blue Orchard is a revelation, an insightful look at a girl born into poverty and ignorance with a mind of her own and the courage to act on it. We all need to read and remember this story." -- HETTIE JONES, author of How I Became Hettie Jones

Using GNU Grep with perl regexp (works on newer Ubuntus)
The output format is given by the -printf parameter:
%T@ = modify time in seconds since Jan. 1, 1970, 00:00 GMT, with fractional part. Mandatory, hidden in the end.
%TY-%Tm-%Td %TH:%TM:%.2TS = modify time as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Optional.
%p = file path
Refer to http://linux.die.net/man/1/find for more about -printf formatting.
sort -nr = sort numerically and reverse (higher values - most recent timestamp - first)
head -n 5 = get only 5 first lines (change 5 to whatever you want)
cut -f2- -d" " = trim first field (timestamp, used only for sorting)
Very useful for building scripts for detecting malicious files upload and malware injections.
centos list directories sorted by size
A more efficient way, with reversed order to put the focus in the big ones.
List all open files of all processes.
find /proc/*/fd
Look through the /proc file descriptors
-xtype f
list only symlinks to file
-printf "%l\n"
print the symlink target
grep -P '^/(?!dev|proc|sys)'
ignore files from /dev /proc or /sys
sort | uniq -c | sort -n
count the results
Many processes will create and immediately delete temporary files.
These can the filtered out by adding:
... | grep -v " (deleted)$" | ...
This command run fine on my Ubuntu machine, but on Red Hat I had to change the awk command to `awk '{print $10}'`.
Sort Apache access logs by date and time using sort key field feature
I copied this (let's be honest) somewhere on internet and I just made it as a function ready to be used as alias. It shows the 10 most used commands from history. This seems to be just another "most used commands from history", but hey.. this is a function!!! :D
Same result as with 'du -ks .[^.]* * | sort -n' but with size outputs in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
Uses "locate" instead of "find", "sort -u" instead of "sort | uniq" and it's case insensitive.
This command summarizes the disk usage across the files and folders in a given directory, including hidden files and folders beginning with ".", but excluding the directories "." and ".."
It produces a sorted list with the largest files and folders at the bottom of the list
Working with lists of IP addresses it is sometimes useful to summarize a count of how many times an IP address appears in the file.
This example, summarizeIP, uses another function "verifyIP" previously defined in commandlinefu.com to ensure only valid IP addresses get counted. The summary list is presented in count order starting with highest count.
Uses GNU Parallel.
Tested on MacOS and GNU/Linux.
It works in dirs containing files starting with '-'.
It runs 'du' only once.
It sorts according to size.
It treats 1K=1000 (and not 1024)
For all users of https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/speed-dial/
This is much easier to parse and do something else with (eg: automagically create ZFS vols) than anything else I've found. It also helps me keep track of which disks are which, for example, when I want to replace a disk, or image headers in different scenarios. Being able to match a disk to the kernels mapping of said drive the disks serial number is very helpful
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id
Normal `ls` command to list contents of /dev/disk/by-id
grep -v "wwn-"
Perform an inverse search - that is, only output non-matches to the pattern 'wwn-'
egrep "[a-zA-Z]{3}$"
A regex grep, looking for three letters and the end of a line (to filter out fluff)
sed 's/\.\.\/\.\.\///'
Utilize sed (stream editor) to remove all occurrences of "../../"
sed -E 's/.*[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\s//'
Strip out all user and permission fluff. The -E option lets us use extended (modern) regex notation (larger control set)
sed -E 's/->\ //'
Strip out ascii arrows "-> "
sort -k2
Sort the resulting information alphabetically, on column 2 (the disk letters)
awk '{print $2,$1}'
Swap the order of the columns so it's easier to read/utilize output from
sed 's/\s/\t/'
Replace the space between the two columns with a tab character, making the output more friendly
For large ZFS pools, this made creating my vdevs immeasurably easy. By keeping track of which disks were in which slot (spreadsheet) via their serial numbers, I was able to then create my vols simply by copying and pasting the full output of the disk (not the letter) and pasting it into my command. Thereby allowing me to know exactly which disk, in which slot, was going into the vdev. Example command below.
zpool create tank raidz2 -o ashift=12 ata-... ata-... ata-... ata-... ata-... ata-...

This board has been pretty quiet. Maybe this week's drama will get people talking about this season again?
The treatment of Michael seems undeserved. Maybe they aren't showing some of the things he has done? I know they don't think he can sew but I don't get why they are so hateful about it. Isn't this just bullying? The judging isn't up to them and they should be more accepting of what the judges decide. I was really surprised to hear Gretchen finally come around and acknowledge that the judges like him well enough to keep him this long and that it was childish to continue harassing and bad-mouthing him. I was also glad to hear Tim's take on it all.
It was amusing how Ivy kept attacking Michael - claiming that he had talked trash and sabotaged the other contestants (ironic that Chris went home this episode after being partnered with her) and everything she was saying made me think she was really describing herself. The editing on her karma statement was really funny.
And does anyone else think that these people are being disrespectful and ungrateful when they roll their eyes and talk back to the people who are giving them this amazing opportunity?
I was really surprised that Heidi chose April to be in the top 3. I thought she would be the one sent packing with those awful clothes that didn't resemble anything in Heidi's collection.
I'm thinking there will be a Mondo, Andy, Gretchen finale.

PALO ALTO, Calif. and AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Plex Systems, the leader in cloud-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions for manufacturers, announced today that global venture capital and growth equity firm Accel Partners has made a $30 million strategic investment in the company. As part of the financing, Accel Partners will gain a seat on its board of directors, joining Francisco Partners, which acquired Plex Systems earlier this year.
The investment by Accel Partners will further support the company's rapidly advancing "shop floor to top floor" cloud technology for ERP, manufacturing execution, quality management, supply chain management, and business intelligence. As part of a broader shift of core business processes to the cloud – including storage, backup, and development – manufacturers are demanding cloud-based ERP systems. Working from the cloud provides many benefits including lower organizational burden, higher reliability, frequent updates, and lower total cost of ownership. Plex Systems continues to lead this trend, having grown rapidly and profitably to this point.
"Plex Systems was early in bringing the cloud to manufacturing ERP, and it now has the most advanced offering in the industry, which has brought them a large and loyal customer base and resulted in a high growth business with significant upside," said Sameer Gandhi, a partner with Accel Partners and newly appointed Plex Systems board member. "Accel's investment philosophy is to invest in companies that have the greatest potential for success due to their market position, disruptive technology and prospects for future growth," said Gandhi. "Plex Systems represents an opportunity to help move a highly complex and diverse industry – manufacturing – to the next computing platform, based in the cloud. We believe the manufacturing ERP market represents at least a $5 billion opportunity, and that less than 10 percent of the market has transitioned to SaaS so far." Plex Systems will join existing Accel investments –including such successful online and software innovators as Facebook, Kayak, Qlik Technologies, Dropbox and Cloudera – that collectively define their industry categories and the future direction of online technology for businesses and consumers alike.
Earlier this year, Plex Systems was acquired by Francisco Partners, a leading technology-focused private equity firm, which had identified the company as an early mover and pioneer in the cloud ERP market, with strong growth opportunities.
"Plex Systems is already a 'category killer' in cloud ERP for manufacturing," said Petri Oksanen, a principal with Francisco Partners. "There are few opportunities to build a truly disruptive platform in the ERP market, and we believe Plex Systems is one of them. Accel is an ideal strategic partner to bring to the table given their strong track record in scaling high-growth companies."
"Plex Systems and our customers will benefit greatly from the validation and investment that Francisco Partners and Accel Partners have made in the company," said Mark Symonds, President and CEO of Plex Systems. "In addition to validating our strategy, direction and technology, Accel and Francisco Partners bring access to additional talent, connections and other relationships that will enable Plex Systems to continue to scale quickly to meet customer demand. As our products evolve and market adoption accelerates, Plex Systems will be able to further invest in R&D to bring even greater functionality to our products in order to continue to delight our customers."
Plex serves hundreds of customers across a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics, general industrial & manufacturing, and food & beverage.

In an interview with Britain's Daily Mail, Trump positions himself more firmly than ever as a Netanyahu political ally.21:13 03.05.16 | 1 comments
I'd like to know what they teach you in history. With the exception of about 25 years Jordan was approximately 78% of historic Palestine. Its people are Palestinians. Why do you say it isnt Palestine? As for East Jerusalem not being part of Israel. Thats because under British and Arab occupation it was ethnically cleansed of its Jews, who by the way, were the majority or plurity in ALL of the city for the past 200 years. Check out the the census. As for the world recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It really isnt a question for the world. The US picked Washington as its capital. Israel picked Jerusalem. The world doesnt pick the capital of a country. Thats interence in another country and is against the law. When Europeans, especially British, learn a little history, maybe they can play a role in the Middle east, but to date, they have done little except make it worst. Stay out with your colonies and take your Arabian colonies with you.

Using Heat Maps For Better Visibility of Your Website Visitors
As search engine algorithms continue to adjust and place a greater and greater emphasis on user experience, the need for robust insight into how human beings, not robots or spiders, interact with the websites they visit. For many website owners, it can be difficult or intimidating to collect the information needed to gain true insight into their sites' effectiveness. Focus groups, eye tracking studies and user surveys are great at collecting this type of information but they have several drawbacks. Cost is typically a concern as it can be difficult to generate participation without some sort of financial incentive. User bias also comes into play for people who know that they have influence over the user experience. Continue reading
Quick Tip: Harness the Buyer's Journey for Better Search Marketing
Don't think search marketing is an essential influencing factor of consumer behavior? Think again.
Once a consumer begins experiencing a pain point, they begin researching possible solutions. This particular step in the buying journey is known as the consideration or research stage. While consumers have been turning to outside sources for product information for a long time, search engines with their accessible product specs, reviews, and more, have revolutionized this stage of making a purchase. In fact, a staggering 72% of consumers turn to Google for their research. Continue reading

Technology has made international commerce more agile than ever before. An event planner in Atlanta can easily order wine from a vineyard in Italy and have it shipped to a conference in London.

Arcopedico L19 Bronze Lytech Synthetic Women's Shoe
Features include:
No issues at all with this shoe. I love the product!! Insoles are removable and washable which is cool. VERY comfortable and arch support is just right.
These are absolutely the best things I have ever put on my feet!!! It feels like I am wearing slippers with incredible support. These will be the perfect shoe/boot for my upcoming trip to Italy
I've been wearing these nonstop ever since the weather turned cool. Perfect for the San Francisco Bay Area winters. Go with everything. They mold to my foot, which is important because I have a high instep so have trouble getting boots to fit that aren't lace-ups, but this fit perfectly. I also appreciate the great arch support. I wear a 5 wide, but the 5.5 narrow works fine for me in this style. Will be buying more in different colors. I now have only the black.
Very comfortable, warm and cozy, nice arch support.
I love the boots - they are so comfortable. I can wear them all day and they don't hurt my feet at all, and that's saying a lot.
The boots are also well priced.
This shoe is super lightweight! Its almost like having no shoes on at all. They are cushioned with padding and some shock absorption in the bed of the shoe making them comfortable.

"These are the only shoes I wear! I can only buy them on line though, as no one in my town carries them. I was in Munich, Germany, recently, and couldn't find them there either (though I didn't search high and low).
For years I purchased shoes that, in the end, did not work out for me. I had a closet full of expensive shoes. When I discovered these last year, I gave away dozens of perfectly good shoes."
