Sci-Fi MMO Defiance Going Free-to-Play in July
As is a common shift with MMOs these days, the sci-fi MMO Defiance is going free-to-play on PS3 and PC platforms starting with the PC on June 4th and PS3 on July 15th.
Developed by Trion Worlds, the game behind the successful and also formerly pay-to-play MMO Rift, Defiance will be rewarding players who picked up the game early under the $49.99 price point once the change occurs, providing them with a 30-day 'Paradise Patron status' which will include a set of across-the-board boosts for their characters, as well as a discount in the game's online store plus 1,000 in virtual currency. The company claimed that the transition to free-to-play was part of the plan all along.
The game is also undergoing some significant changes to improve the scaling of missions and rewards to make older quests feel more valuable to higher level players.
"We really wanted Defiance to have that feeling of accomplishment and achievement," said Trick Dempsey, Defiance's creative director. "But we had to first solve how to handle dynamic adjustment. Those things needed to be in place [for the free-to-play switch] or else people would have a hard time playing together."
Trion Worlds will be hosting a Defiance livestream event this Friday at 5pm Eastern to explain more about the game's free-to-play transition and to answer questions from the community. The second season of the SyFy TV adaptation of the game premieres June 19th.

I have used Pleasures for years. It makes me feel good about myself when I wear it. I am amazed also that other people notice it too. Complete strangers that wait on you in stores comment, "you smell so good" and want to know what I use. When my grand daughter was born after I cuddled her my daughter in law said, now she smells good like Nana-- you can never start them too young!

This is the fragrance you wear on your first date when u want to leave a great impression. I dated this guy and all he could say my pillow smells just like your perfume and it makes me miss you when your not there
Written by Ms Flo on October 10, 2014
The Pleasures perfume I ordered came promptly. The price was great-the large bottle cost the same as the small bottle at a local store. The fragrance shimmers with beautiful flowers, crisp violet leaves and the low notes create a lovely foundation for the delicate scents to dance upon. It's the only perfume in which I like the top, middle and low notes. People always compliment me when I wear it and I wear it every day!

I have worn "Pleasures" by Estee Lauder since 1996. I have yet to find another perfume that I can truly say I will wear daily, most perfumes give me an instant headache.

Fugitive CEO of QVOD is repatriated after 110 days [China Daily: Africa Weekly]
(China Daily: Africa Weekly Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Wang Xin, the fugitive CEO of Shenzhen QVOD Technology who fled the Chinese mainland after authorities began investigating him and his company on suspicion of spreading pornographic content online, was repatriated to China after being on the run for 110 days, China's anti-porn watchdog said on Friday.
Wang, 34, was arrested trying to enter a foreign country on Aug 7. The National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications did not disclose which country he was attempting to enter. He was repatriated to China on Aug 8.
After repatriation, Wang confessed in an interrogation that he was fully aware that his company had stored large quantities of obscene and pornographic videos on its servers. Still, he gave the green light for the company's peer-to-peer video streaming technology to share the pirated and pornographic videos in an aim to boost company revenues, according to the anti-porn agency.
The agency said the Beijing police began investigating Wang's company in April for allegedly spreading pornographic content online. They arrested several company employees, but Wang soon fled the Chinese mainland.
The International Criminal Police Organization then issued a warrant for his arrest.
The case is still under investigation, the anti-porn agency said.
His company is on the verge of bankruptcy after it was ordered to pay a fine of 260 million yuan ($42.3 million) over copyright infringements by the Shenzhen Market Supervision Administration in June.
Legal experts said Wang faces a sentence of at least 10 years in prison.
Wang founded QVOD in 2007 in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, to produce streaming media applications and entertainment software. Its user base quickly grew to 300 million.
In early April, the company shut down its QVOD (which stands for quasi video on demand) servers after the National (c) 2014 China Daily Information Company. All Rights Reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (Syndigate.info).

U.S. Exploring Baghdad Strike as Iraq Option
By DAVID E. SANGER and THOM SHANKER
Published: July 29, 2002
WASHINGTON, July 28 — As the Bush administration considers its military options for deposing Saddam Hussein, senior administration and Pentagon officials say they are exploring a new if risky approach: take Baghdad and one or two key command centers and weapons depots first, in hopes of cutting off the country's leadership and causing a quick collapse of the government.
The "inside-out" approach, as some call this Baghdad-first option, would capitalize on the American military's ability to strike over long distances, maneuvering forces to envelop a large target. Those advocating that plan say it reflects a strong desire to find a strategy that would not require a full quarter-million American troops, yet hits hard enough to succeed. One important aim would be to disrupt Iraq's ability to order the use of weapons of mass destruction.
The advantages and risks of strikes aimed deep inside the country and radiating outward are now under active discussion, according to senior administration and Defense Department officials. No formal plan has yet been presented to President Bush or the senior members of his national security team, and several officials cautioned that a number of alternatives were still under consideration.
The inside-out ideas are essentially the reverse of the American strategy in the Persian Gulf war of 1991, which dislodged Mr. Hussein's occupying army from Kuwait.
The aim would be to kill or isolate Mr. Hussein and to pre-empt Iraq's use of weapons of mass destruction, whether against an incoming force, front-line allies or Israel. Those weapons are the wild card in all the outlines of a military confrontation.
Officials say it may be possible to paralyze an Iraqi command-and-control system that is highly centralized and authoritarian. Under such a system, midlevel officers are not taught to improvise, should they be cut off from commanders. It is also possible that those midlevel officers, if they fear that Mr. Hussein has been killed, would not bother to fire weapons of mass destruction.
If that can be accomplished with a smaller invasion force than the 250,000 troops suggested in early drafts, the approach could appeal to skittish gulf allies whose bases would be required for a war.
Those states are quietly advocating the quickest and smallest military operation possible, to lessen anti-American protests on their streets. In that sense, the war planning includes the political dimension of trying to tip reluctant allies into supporting, tacitly at least, the operation.
Something nearer the 250,000 figure might have to be deployed to the region anyway, to make sure that any forces that drop into Baghdad do not become isolated or surrounded, bereft of a land line providing military support, food and ammunition.
The Defense Department deputy spokesman, Bryan Whitman, said the Pentagon would have no comment on potential military plans for Iraq.
But it is clear that the debate over whether and how to dislodge Mr. Hussein is gaining speed within the administration and on Capitol Hill.
"There is a divergence of views on how can one best diminish the prospect that he uses weapons of mass destruction, with any efficacy," said Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who stressed that he had not been briefed on administration thinking.
Senator Biden, who is preparing to hold hearings on Iraq this week, said in an interview: "That is where the argument for an inside-out operation gains credibility. There is a diminished possibility that he will use chemical or biological weapons."
In May, President Bush was presented with concepts that advocated a major invasion, but some senior officials are said to view the plan as unimaginative.
In contrast, a key national security aide, retired Gen. Wayne A. Downing, had reportedly argued that Mr. Hussein could be toppled with minimal numbers of Americans on the ground, provided they were backed up by huge airstrikes. However, senior officials concluded that a proxy battle would be insufficient to bring a change in power in Iraq, and General Downing left the White House last month.
"It's easy to rule out both ends of the spectrum," one senior Defense Department official said. "We are looking at the three or four options in between."
No timetable has been set for military action, and if President Bush decides to go ahead, his aides say, he will have to make a public, convincing case about why Mr. Hussein poses an intolerable threat to the United States and its allies. Some members of Congress, including conservative Republicans, are beginning to urge Mr. Bush to explain his reasoning and goals before committing American forces to topple a foreign government that has not attacked the United States.
"The time will come to do all of that," a senior administration official said in an interview on Friday. "And no one is opposed to doing it."
A plan to immobilize the Iraqi leadership would draw from lessons learned on maneuver warfare in the invasion of Panama, which Dick Cheney and Colin L. Powell directed, and on the surprise Inchon Sea landing in Korea in 1951, according to officials who monitor the internal debate.

Playing .mp4
I have some .mp4's that I've played before for years, on an iPod Video and on various Windows players.
I copied it to the Fuze+, but the Fuze+ thinks it's an audio file and only plays audio from it. How can I get it to play those files?
|[Remove Advertisement]
The only supported video codecs in Rockbox are MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. They're supported through the MPEG Player Plugin. http://download.rockbox.org/daily/ma...5-25300012.3.7 More on video playback and conversion to .mpg here http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginMpegplayer
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I currently have 3 .mpg files on the memory card. I was able to play one of them once yesterday, but can't play any of them today.
I tried going to "Open With" and selecting the file, but it still doesn't work.
I keep getting "unsupported format".
I notice when I go to the file properties menu in Rock Box, the time for the files is messed up. For example, it thinks a 3 min video is 23 minutes. The time is messed up for all of the video files.
The files you have won't work unless they encoded the way Rockbox needs them. A file having a .mpg file extension doesn't mean it's properly encoded for playback in Rockbox. Have you read the wiki page I linked? It has the encoding parameters and how to encode video files so they'll play in Rockbox there.
There's also a link to WinFF that has built in Rockbox presets. There's no Fuze+ preset but you can use another Rockbox preset that has a screen resolution that matches the Fuze+. I've used the Rockbox Ipod Video Widescreen setting the and converted files played properly in landscape view.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I now tried using WinFF to encode a video at 320x240, and 320x178. None of them work.
Do I need to specify a certain bitrate or data rate?
For the preset, I tried the "RB Apple Video Ipod Video Widescreen", as well as RB Sandisk Sansa e200 Widescreen".
WinFF should work just using the presets. It did for me just now.
I updated to the current WinFF 1.5.3 version to make sure there wasn't a change in the presets from the older version I had used before. Then I picked the Rockbox ipod Video widescreen setting, converted a couple of files, dragged them onto the Fuze+ and they play.
If that's not how it's working for you I really don't know how to troubleshoot that. I've only done a few experiments to be sure WinFF and a Rockboxed player work together. The screen is much too small for me to use any sandisk DAP I have as a video player.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Here's the settings I'm using, do you see anything different?
Your settings are the same as mine. Which is why I don't know why the resulting files aren't working for you. WinnFF is able to convert near anything and if you use the presets the results should play. It's worked that way for me for years.
WinFF is simple to the point where you pretty much have to work at it for it to fail. As your settings look as if you're doing the same as I am I just don't know why its not working for you.

What's a little infuriating is that it was working yesterday, before I had to reformat my memory card (due to errors). I was able to play a video at least once. I don't remember what format or settings they were, I had just copied it from one of the existing non converted copies I had.
Actually, I've formatted it 3 times now in 48 hours. (All in the past 15 hours).
What's been happening is that certain things that I can see on the memory card when I stick it in a reader, don't appear when I put the memory card in the player. Or they stop appearing.
The first few times, it was items P-S that would stop appearing after a few times of going back and forth between the reader and the Fuze+. When I say stop appearing, they still appear on the memory card, but not when I put it in the player.
If I have to do it one more time, I'm going to just use the internal memory, and notify the memory card seller of what's happening.
EDIT: Right now it appears a few items N-P have now stopped appearing. Ok, I'm going to use the internal memory from now on.
I am safely removing the memory card from the reader, each time.
If I have to get another memory card, I might get a 32GB one instead of a 64GB one, just to remove one more step in this process (formatting a 64GB one as a FAT32).
What size memory card are you using, have you had any problems with a MicroSDXC that needed to be formatted as a FAT32?
Another OT question: Does the original Fuze+ firmware recognize a formatted 64GB card, or only Rock Box?
The symptoms you describe are those that others have posted for fake cards. You can go here and get a copy of h2testw to check. It writes to then reads from every available sector of the card and generates a report. That report gives you an accurate account of the true size of the card.
IIRC the sansisk firmware should see all of a card FAT32 formatted larger than 32 GB. Only 32 GB is officially supported and there's a file limit I don't recall offhand but when you check the info tab it should reflect the actual size of the card. That's from what I've read as I've never tried a 64 GB card in the sandisk firmware.
I typically use 32 GB class 10 cards. Depending on where I get them I can pay as little as $16 for those. I'm not big on trying to have all my music with me at every moment so 32 GB is plenty for my daily needs.
Have you tried playing the videos you've converted from the internal memory? If they're sitting on a part of the external memory that doesn't properly exist that would account for them not working.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Yeah, the file limit is something like 9,000 songs, which I'm not close to hitting. I'm only between 1,100-1,300.
I didn't need a 64GB card either, I just figured it would be nice to have for the future. I'm only using a little more than 10 GB, so a 32GB would have been fine for a few years.
Also related: I bought the flash card off of eBay for $13.50.
However, the day after I made the purchase, eBay notified me that the listing was removed. When I called eBay, they said it could have meant that the seller sold something that the seller wasn't authorized to sell, or violated the terms of agreement.
I reached out the seller, and he said he was still going to ship the item, so I didn't think anything else was wrong. I guess I might have been sold a fraudulent card, looking into it.
As I posted a few posts ago, since I'm going to be using internal memory from now on, I will try a lot more things from there (different video formats/settings; different conversions).
Yup, just checked two different versions of the converted videos, both play fine from internal memory.
Haven't run the utility on the memory card yet, still reading through the blog and watching MLB in the background.
(BTW, when I used the Hard Disk Low Level Format app last night to do a "long format", it took 5 hours).
They report to you what the card reports to them. h2testw reports what it actually writes then reads. That's why it's the recommended tool to detect the true amount of storage. All of this is explained better and in more detail on the page I linked.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
It's been four hours and it's written 34.7 GB. It hasn't started reading yet.
Just noticed that you used an app to "low level" format the card. I've never used it so I can't offer an opinion as to what it does. I will say that I seriously doubt it's needed.
I've used the SD Formatter since it was originally called the Panasonic Formatter. As you'll see from the linked page it brings a card to the industry recommended standard.
I've had zero problems with a SD card of any type since. There have been problems that were caused by the file system being corrupted by outside programs or me not safely disconnecting. Those would have happened regardless of formatting.
I've read people saying both ways that the SD Formatter is capable of formatting a SDXC card as FAT32. I don't know for sure as when I've formatted a card over 32 GB I've either used an android phone or guiformat. They both take a few seconds to get the job done.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I then tried the HD Low Level Format, and it was able to reformat the card. After that, I was able to use fat32format to format it as a FAT32 and wouldn't get the cyclic redundancy error anymore. So that's why I used it. I saw various other trouble shooting options, some which involved making a boot disc, to get rid of the cyclic redundancy error. One of the suggestions was to use this app though, so I tried that, before wanting to try the boot disc method.
However, as I mentioned, I ended up getting the corrupted data error 3 more times over the next 48 hours. fat32format was unable to format the card again. I tried HD Low Level Format's "Quick Format" the subsequent times, and it was able to format the card in a few seconds. After that, I would go back to fat32format to format it as a FAT32.
fat32format was able to format the 64GB SDXC card as a FAT32.
These were the results of h2testw.

Neptune, False-Color Image
In this false-color image of Neptune, objects located deep in the atmosphere are blue, while those at higher altitudes are white. The image was taken by Voyager 2?s wide-angle camera through an orange filter as well as two methane filters, which cause the deeper atmosphere to absorb most of the light. The image?s bright white feature is a high-altitude cloud just south of the Great Dark Spot, and the smaller clouds associated with the Dark Spot are white or pink. Neptune?s limb looks reddish because Voyager 2 is viewing it tangentially and the sunlight has been scattered back to space before it can be absorbed by the methane.

Miami Marlins Quietly Turning a Profit
The Miami Marlins aren't going to get a lot of media attention, not in an NL East dominated by the Washington Nationals and New York Mets. Heck, the Marlins aren't even the best underdog story in their own division - that honor so far belongs to the Philadelphia Phillies. But for baseball bettors, Miami is a gift that quietly keeps giving - with a 25-23 record and little respect from the market, the Marlins have turned a (+$411) profit for the season based on $100-per-game increments. It's the combination of three young players and one outstanding starting pitcher that are the most noteworthy developments for Miami...

friends of the NRA banquet
The Friends of the NRA banquet held late last year yielded a quantity of new equipment for our Youth Marksmanship Program. Several NWTFS Directors such as Larry Carr assisted with the banquet while long time NWTFS members like David Shoop were at the tables supporting this fun event with their time and money.
First and foremost was 25,000 rounds of badly needed rimfire ammunition. One day of rifle and pistol practice with 20 youngsters on the firing lines will easily burn up 1,500 rounds. Five .22 caliber Ruger target pistols and three Ruger American .22 caliber bolt action rifles were added to our inventory along with several spotting scopes and youth size rifle shooting coats.The Youth Marksmanship Program will put these to good use. The hardware will last for years and help train hundreds of youngsters.


text: This was a happy surprise, as I almost did not do the race because of an injury. I was cleared by my Physical Therapist, Tom Yates, on Thursday to run the race on Sunday, but I was not sure if I should run the race.I had a form of sciatica wherein the hamstring and piroformis (butt) muscles knotted up and pressed against the sciatica nerve on the right side. It was very painful. I took a month off from running from mid-Feb to mid-March, and then started back slow but with some pain. In early April, the pain went away, but then it came back on the Monday before Clyde's. Tom worked out the knots and had me do more stretching on Tuesday and Thursday. It was then that he told me I was going to have a good race. These words stuck in my head all weekend before Clyde's. Training was spotty and there had not been any speed training. What did Tom know that I did not know? This question nagged at me. As I approached the starting line, it suddenly occurred to me that I had no race plan. Should I start in the front and run fast or should I run a conservative pace in order to avoid another injury? I decided to start fast and see what I could do. I did not start the timer on my watch and did not see the mile markers until mile 4, so I had know idea how I was doing until I saw the timer at the finish line. After the race, I ran the course again with Chip. Then, we walked over to see the results. Second place in my AG. I missed 1st place by 9 seconds. My goal that I set last year for this race was to be on the podium, but I almost gave up on it because of the injury. You never know.

Rob Griffith, Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Two miles under the sea where satellites and planes are looking for debris from the missing Malaysian jet, the ocean floor is cold, dark, covered in a squishy muck of dead plankton and — in a potential break for the search — mostly flat. The troubling exception is a steep, rocky drop ending in a deep trench.
The seafloor in this swath of the Indian Ocean is dominated by a substantial underwater plateau known as Broken Ridge, where the geography would probably not hinder efforts to find the main body of the jet that disappeared with 239 people on board three weeks ago, according to seabed experts who have studied the area.
Australian officials on Friday moved the search to an area 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) to the northeast of a previous zone as the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 continued to confound. There is no guarantee that the jet crashed into the new search area. Planes that have searched it for two days have spotted objects of various colors and sizes, but none of the items scooped by ships has been confirmed to be related to the plane.
The zone is huge: about 319,000 square kilometers (123,000 square miles), roughly the size of Poland or New Mexico. But it is closer to land than the previous search zone, its weather is much more hospitable — and Broken Ridge sounds a lot craggier than it really is.
And the deepest part is believed to be 5,800 meters (19,000 feet), within the range of American black box ping locators on an Australian ship leaving Sunday for the area and expected to arrive in three or four days.
Formed about 100 million years ago by volcanic activity, the ridge was once above water. Pulled under by the spreading of the ocean floor, now it is more like a large underwater plain, gently sloping from as shallow as about 800 meters (2,625 feet) to about 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) deep. It got its name because long ago the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates separated it from another plateau, which now sits about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) to the southwest.
Much of Broken Ridge is covered in a sediment called foraminiferal ooze, made of plankton that died, settled and was compacted by the tremendous pressure from the water above.
"Think like it's been snowing there for tens of millions of years," said William Sager, a professor of marine geophysics at the University of Houston in Texas.
Like snow, the layer of microscopic plankton shells tends to smooth out any rises or falls in the underlying rock. In places, the layer is up to 1 kilometer (half a mile) deep.
But if the fuselage of the Boeing 777 did fall on to Broken Ridge, it would not sink much into the muck.
"The surface would be soft, it would squeeze between your toes, but it's not so soft that you would disappear like snow," Sager said. "Something big like pieces of an airplane, it's going to be sitting on the surface."
Searchers will be hoping that if the latest area turns out to be where the plane crashed — and that remains educated guesswork until searchers can put their hands on aerial debris sightings and check what it is — the fuselage did not go down on the southern edge of Broken Ridge.
That's where the ocean floor drops precipitously — more than 4 kilometers (2 1/2 miles) in places, according to Robin Beaman, a marine geologist at Australia's James Cook University. It's not a sheer cliff, more like a very steep hill that a car would struggle to drive up. At the bottom of this escarpment is the narrow Diamantina trench, which measurements put as deep at 5,800 meters (19,000 feet), though no one is sure of its greatest depth because it has never been precisely mapped.
"Let's hope the wreck debris has not landed over this escarpment — it's a long way to the bottom," Beaman said.

Lily is on WIC... don't get me wrong I like it and all but... When I went to get her nxt round of checks when she turned 6 months they dropped her formula down to 7 cans instead of 10...the checks now have baby food on it which is great. but I am not rushing to feed her solids like all the time! I want her tummy to get used to baby food... I dont wanna sound like I am ungrateful cause i am not.. WIC really helps us cuz formula is EXPENSIVE LOL My question is are there any moms that have their babies on WIC.. if so did the formula get cut down as well? Are u able to change it back? I didnt ask the lady at WIC cuz she was rushing us outta the office cuz it was time to go home for her.. TIA! :)
Question for mama's on WIC...

Not on WIC. But I was with one of my younger children and you cant change it. They have a set thing that they give for the age of your child.
here'stoswollenfeet: the member formerly known as here'stoswollenfeet. ;)
Melissa, Mom to Collin, Luke, and Molly-my heart baby
Yep same here. The only problem I have with it is that some women may think that they're supposed to start replacing formula with food at this time. I think they should give out more information about the purpose of solids at this age because a lot of women don't know.
Anyway, I'm not worried about it, DS's formula is $22 for a small can so even if they only help me out with like half it's still helping SO much.

Im glad for what we get too :) you get one more can then lily does and we get 28 jars of baby food. i can understand why they cut back. Babies r us is having a sale of formula btw if any of you are interested.. You save 4 dollars if you buy two cans of 22oz or larger!
Jared and Krissy 7-2-09
Izabelle Nikole, Aaron James, and Lilliana Rose
I just really felt like WIC was like telling me that i need to feed lily solids all the time. I mean i do feed her solids but i know she needs the formula more.
Jared and Krissy 7-2-09
Izabelle Nikole, Aaron James, and Lilliana Rose
Don't read too much into it. Just do what you feel is best for your baby. They are just going by government guidelines that may or may not be a little behind the times. I'm forced by the government to have a 34 inch waist 6 months after having a baby...standards are standards.

Come to We're Debt Free!

Same here! This may be a rumor, but I heard WIC was in danger of being cut off all together.
SAHM to Ireland (7/2010) and Nikolai (8/2013)
We started off with 10 cans of formula from birth to 4 months. Then from 4 months to 6 months it increased to 11 cans. My WIC office (maybe it's just my state) doesn't believe in giving solids until at least 6 months old so they increase the formula. Then at 6 months it dropped to 8 cans a month, 24 oz of cereal and 32- 4oz jars of baby food.
We've been doing good on the formula and haven't had to buy any ourselves. At our babyshower we got a ton, so we have extra for now. (But we also have a 2nd baby on the way, so I don't know how long that will last) The baby food isn't enough because we do 3 jars a day, so it lasts about 9 days!
And no, sadly you cannot change it back. It's apparently the WIC guidelines. I don't know if any one can go to a food pantry and get baby formula. I've seen some at ours. Just a suggustion.
I love WIC for what they give me, it's just a pain because I hate my office. They are stuck up people who believe that they are better than everyone else (again, maybe it's just my office). The RN doesn't know what she's talking about- everytime they measure my daughter she's always shorter and much heavier (w/o her clothes) than what her doctors office has her at. And her appoinments are usally a few days after the drs appointment! Since I'm pregnant again, I have to go in monthly for a check up. With my first daughter they gave me such a hard time about loosing weight and not being able to gain much. I only ended up gaining 5lbs with my daughter (I was overweight to begin with and my dr wasn't concerened). With this pregnancy the same thing is happening. They told me I need to eat more and get my weight gain up, but they also told me I need to exercise more!! Um--typically doesn't more excersice mean loosing weight... I usually go for a half hour to an hour walk a day (when I'm able to) I live in WI-- so yeah winter. Not so great. Then they were like, well if you can't walk outside have you ever considered a gym membership...uh, like I can afford that!!
Anyway, good luck!! :)

I've stared mirroring the files and directories on an FTP server to my external HDD using my Raspberry Pi so I can leave the downloads running 24/7.
What I did to start the download was:
lftp firstname.lastname@example.com
mirror --use-pget-n=8 /
The files are downloading, however it seems to be running quite slow. After about 10 hours of running, it's only downloaded 139GB. Whenever I ran the download using Filezilla on my desktop (Mint) I got ~200GB in 4 hours.
I was unaware of how many segments each file should be downloaded in, so I choose 8. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure of the benefit splitting the file into segments.
My download speed according to Speedtest.net peaks at around 40Mb/sec and is usually around 30Mb/sec.
Are there any better parameters I could use, or is it possibly down the Raspberry Pi's hardware?
I would tar all the files and download them in one go, only I don't have any other access to the server (not the owner).
