A few days ago I started getting the famous "Spinning Beach Balls" when read/writing to disk on my Mac (this isn't really a Mac specific question but it will refer to Mac tools, FWIW). In any case I used Scannerz (http://www.scsc-online.com/Scannerz.html) to test the drive and it found about 4 bad sectors and about 15 weak sectors on the drive. This is a 2009 MacBook, but I got it in early 2010, so it's really only about 3 years old.
I had just updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.3, so I thought maybe this was a Mountain Lion bug. I thought I would cross check this by running Scannerz on two external FireWire drives I have. One is 10 years old, and it's an ACom-Data clunker. The other is about 6 years old and it's a Maxtor One-Touch with both USB/FireWire interfaces.
The 10 year old clunker was used when I had an old iBook. The drive inside that iBook was only about 15 or 20G (don't remember exactly) so I added this drive to get more storage. I would use the iBook as a desktop computer by plugging in an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and set the clunker drive as the boot drive. Those old, internal drives were notoriously slow back in those days. I literally used this drive about 4-5 hours a day for about 3 years. I then got a PPC Mac Mini and continued to use it continuously. A few years later I used it when I got an Intel Mac Mini. At this point I needed a bigger drive and got the Maxtor. I figure the thing had about 6-7 years continuous use on it.
I likewise used the Maxtor with the Intel Mini as a boot drive because the mini I got only had 80G on it and the Maxtor had 360G. This drive is still in use, but during the last 5 months it's been relegated to backup only.
I figured the 160G drive on my MacBook was newer and would last longer, so I dumped all critical stuff onto it. My work hours per unit have consistently been about the same on all units.
Like I said, when I started having problems with the drive on the MacBook, I did a comparison test on the two external drives thinking surely it was an OS problem or maybe Scannerz wasn't compatible with the latest release of Mountain Lion.
Here are my results using Scannerz on all the drives:
- 2.5 inch drive fails with several bad and weak sectors
- ACom Data "Clunker" drive passes with flying colors
- Maxtor passes with flying colors.
I had run Xbench on the 2.5" vs. the Maxtor and decided to use the 2.5" drive as the main drive because it was faster. Unfortunately, speed doesn't mean much if the drive doesn't work.
Both the Maxtor and the Acom Data (clunker) use 3.5" drives. I know for a fact the Acom Data drive is an IDE because I read the stats on it a long time ago. I assume the Maxtor has a SATA in it's enclosure.
In any case, are 2.5" drives inherently less reliable than 3.5" drives. When I fired up the Acom Data clunker, I was actually amazed it even fired up. I was even more amazed that after all these years and all time I used it, Scannerz found no problems at all with it. Acom data doesn't even exist as a company any more!!! Likewise, I expected the Maxtor to show at least some signs or problems, but there weren't any.
Was this just bad luck, or is the life span of 2.5" drives worse than 3.5" drives.

The invention relates to data communications and in particular to the field of auto-configuration of input/output ports on communication devices.
The combination of the popularity of on-line content and the affordability of data communication equipment has lead to a proliferation of data communication equipment within homes and businesses throughout the world. This equipment allows users of the data communication equipment to exchange data with remote computers, terminals and individuals. Initially the on-line content was limited to dial-up bulletin board systems (BBS). Today however, these BBS systems have grown into a worldwide network of computers linked by a complex network or web of data communication media. The Internet is a popular example of a worldwide network of computers and data communication media.
Historically, the majority of individuals accessing on-line content utilized a communication device, such as a modem, linked to standard twisted pair communication wire as universally utilized for voice communication between a central office and a termination in a home or business. This path is often referred to as the local loop. Analog modem technology has traditionally been utilized to enable communication between the user's computer and the remote terminal. Examples of analog modem technology for the purposes of this discussion include the V0.34 standard and the V0.90 standard.
The popularity of on-line access has created a corresponding demand by users to more rapidly obtain the information from remote computers or terminals. Emerging from the demand for faster access to the on-line content, numerous different technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth to the user or make better utilization of the bandwidth available to the user. These various technologies include technologies commonly referred to as digital subscriber line (DSL), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), cable modems, and fiber optic links.
Of all the proposed new technologies, DSL appears to be the most promising because DSL technology is able to utilize standard copper twisted pair wire as its communication media between the point of termination (home or business) and the access to the world wide computer network (hereinafter Internet). DSL technology is able to overcome the drawbacks and enable high-speed communication on existing local loop media.
As further evidence of the popularity of accessing on-line content, many homes and business are utilizing more than one standard for data communication or more than one communication media or access path. For example, some homes and business utilized both DSL technology and standard analog technology, such as the V0.34 standard or the V0.90 standard.
While the use of multiple communication paths and various communication standards is a convenient and valuable asset when all services are properly installed and in operation, the process of installation and configuration has historically been problematic.
Moreover, it is desirable for companies to manufacture a single device designed to be shipped worldwide that facilitates communication under more than one communication standard or technology. For example, it is desirable to manufacture a device capable of DSL operation and analog modem operation. While manufacturing a single device having worldwide capability reduces production costs, it requires that the communication device have capability to operate under the various standards and communication media as found in countries other than the United States.
Numerous problems or drawbacks emerge at the time of installation (or reinstallation) and initial configuration (or re-configuration) for such a device. In the case of a communication device having capability for operation under more than one standard and which is equipped with more than one input/output jack, the user may become confused as to which input/output connector to insert into which input/output jack on the device.
Another drawback associated with use of a single device in various locations arises from the provisioning of the DSL service. Traditionally, there are four to six conductors on each wire set that have traditionally been utilized for voice communication within homes and businesses. As is commonly understood, these conductors may be terminated with a RJ-11 jack having an inner pair of conductors and an outer pair of conductors. Different entities within the U.S. and countries other than the U.S. utilize different conductors for newly installed DSL service. Hence, communication devices of the prior art had to be manufactured for each specific DSL provisioning system at each particular location, or the site had to be rewired.
These undesirable drawbacks in the prior art systems resulted in events, which reduced customer satisfaction, increased costs, and hindered system performance. For example, if a user was unable to configure their device, or if the device was not accurately configured for a particular location, the communication device would often be returned for a refund, the DSL or other new service canceled, or a service technician dispatched to assist in the installation process. These events are all undesirable. The inventors of the invention discovered and comprehended these drawbacks, appreciated the need arising from their discoveries, and consequently have disclosed herein a method and apparatus to overcome these drawbacks of the prior art systems.
The invention provides a method and apparatus for the automatic configuration of the input/output terminals of a communication device. Automatic configuration of a communication device's input/output ports provides several advantages over the prior art. One advantage is that the automatic configuration feature simplifies the installation process by adapting to various service configurations. For example, the automatic configuration adapts the communication device to automatically operate with a service configuration supplying communication services on any of the available conductors. Thus, the initial installations is simpler, requires fewer steps, and is more likely to proceed without problems. This makes a device having the automatic configuration capability the product of choice. Moreover, the automatic configuration features reduce the need for a service technician to travel to the site to assist in the installation of the communication device. The result is more rapid, less costly installation. The automatic configuration feature will also reduce the number of service calls placed via a telephone to a help line. It has been determined that even telephone placed service calls cost twenty dollars to thirty dollars per call. Such additional cost decreases a product's or service's profitability.
This method and apparatus provides for operation on any various service configuration of the communication cable coupled to the communication device. To achieve automatic configuration, a communication device having at least one input/output port (or a separate input port and output port) is connected to a relay or other switching device. The input/output port is also commonly referred to in the art as a connector, terminal, jack, or I/O port.
Also connected to the switching device is communication circuitry configured to facilitate communication with one or more remote communication apparatus. Also included in one embodiment is switching control circuitry that may be integrated with or separate from the communication circuitry. The switching control circuitry operates independently from or in conjunction with the communication circuitry to find the optimal connection to a cable connected to the input/output port of the communication device.
In one configuration the communication device comprises a device operating under any of the DSL family of standards and hence connects to a communication cable using a RJ-11 type connector. One type of DSL is asymmetric DSL. In such configuration, the RJ-11 is generally configured with two or more pairs of twisted pair cabling. In various service installations or configurations, the DSL service is enabled on either of the two or more pairs of twisted pair cabling. Other configurations may enable communication on other than a pair of cables. The automatic configuration capabilities of the invention desirably overcome the confusion and mis-connections arising out of the variations in service configurations for services such as DSL.
In operation, a user or other apparatus configured to initiate action enables the communication device for operation. During the initial operation of the device, upon re-connection of the device, or reconfiguration of the communication service, the automatic configuration apparatus of the communication device undergoes an automatic configuration process. To connect to the desired one of the two or more pair of communication cables enabled with the communication service, the switching devices are configured in a first position, referred to as a default position. The default position may be any switch position desired.
In the default position, either the communication circuitry or the switch control circuitry monitors for enablement of the communication services on the communication cable pair that the switch device, in the default position, connects to the communication circuitry. In one configuration either the communication circuitry or the switch control circuitry sends off a tone or signal, or takes other action, such as establishment of an off-hook status, to initiate the communication session and thereafter monitors for enablement of the communication service on the communication cable connected to the communication circuitry by the switch device.
If the communication circuitry and/or the switch control system does not detect enablement on the default communication pair after a period of time, such as a time-out period, the operation initiates a switching operation by the switch device. If the switch device is a relay, the latches of the relay are actuated. The switching operation connects the communication circuitry to an alternate cable set of the two or more communication cable sets connected to the communication device. Thereafter the above described operation repeats as either the communication circuitry or the switch control circuitry monitors for the communication service on the communication cable set selected by the switch.
In an alternative configuration the switch control circuitry initiates and/or monitors for the cable set enabled with the communication circuitry without assistance from the communication circuitry.
In various different embodiments, described below in greater detail, the communication device may be configured with one or more input/output ports. In another embodiment the communication device includes a pass-through cable path with a low-pass filter therein to enable plain old telephone service (POTS) by connection to the communication device.
In yet another embodiment, the communication device is configured with communication circuitry to enable two or more different communication standards. In one such configuration the communication device includes two switching devices, one being associated with each of the different communication standards. Using the principles of operation described herein, each of the switching devices provides automatic configuration to find and connect each communication circuitry to a cable set having the desired communication service enabled thereon.
Further objects, features, and advantages of the invention over the prior art will become apparent from the following detailed description of the attached figures.
The invention is a method and apparatus for auto-configuration of a communication device. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough description of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention. It is contemplated that the features described herein may be implemented either alone or in any combination.
Example Environment
In one example environment, the invention facilitates automatic and accurate connection between a communication device, such as a modem, and a worldwide network of computers such as the Internet.
As shown in
Example Configurations
To address the drawbacks described above in the Background section, the invention successfully adapts to various service configurations as is commonly found in DSL service installations. For purposes of understanding, these configurations are briefly discussed herein. In DSL installations, one or both pairs of wires are used for phone service.
From this service configuration it can be seen that the communication device can be connected to either of the outer pair 408 or the inner pair 410.
In the configuration shown in
Turning now to
As can be understood under any of the installation configurations shown in
Advantageously, the invention overcomes the problems associated with providing numerous different devices each configured to operate in a particular one of the number of various service configurations. Another complication arises when the communication device 200 is further configured to include an analog modem, such as for example, a modem operating under the V0.90 standard. Various embodiments of the invention also provide a solution to this service configuration.
One Communication Standard on a Single Communication Device
Associated with the communication device 200 is an input/output jack 202. In a preferred embodiment the jack 202 comprises a RJ-11 type connector although any type connector capable of completing an electrical connection is suitable. Two or more conductors 204 connect to the jack 202. For purpose of discussion, four conductors are shown. In this example embodiment the two or more conductors comprise an inner pair 208 and an outer pair 206 as is often configured for telephone service within buildings in the United States. The inner pair 208 and the outer pair 206 terminate at a relay 210.
The output from the relay 210 comprises a dual conductor pair of feed lines 212, both of which connect to a communication circuitry 214. The communication circuitry 214 may comprise any form of circuitry configured to facilitate communication with a remote communication device. In one embodiment the communication circuitry 214 operates under the standards of DSL technology.
In this exemplary embodiment the relay 210 comprises a double pole, double throw magnetic latching relay with associated control circuitry. In this embodiment the relay includes a four terminal by two terminal configuration. Between the input terminals O1, I1, I2, O2 and output terminals are control magnets 220 connected to associated relay control circuitry 222. Advantageously, a magnetic latching relay may be utilized to allow the bus structure, such as for example a PC-PCI bus structure, to power down while the relay remains in the desired relay state.
As is understood, these types of relays have two or more coils each of which are pulsed for operation to thereby generate a magnetic field. A pulse on one coil 220 will "latch open" a contact 230 while a pulse on a second coil will "latch close" the same contact. In one exemplary relay embodiment the pulse duration comprises a pulse of 100 msec or greater. Although the coils are able to operate in a continuously powered state, a preferred manner of operation powers down the coils after pulse operation.
The relay control circuitry 222 operates in conjunction with the communication circuitry 214 to oversee connections within the first relay 220. Hence, via signals from the relay control circuitry 222, the coils 220 actuate the top latch 230 and the bottom latch 232 into any possible position. Thus, it is fully contemplated that independent of the position of the bottom latch 232, the top latch 230 can assume a connection to conductor O1 or I1. Likewise, regardless of the position of the top latch 230, the bottom latch 232 can assume a connection to conductor I2 or O2. In this manner the signal carried on conductors 204 can be provided to communication device 214.
As shown in
In an alternative embodiment, a pass-through telephone connector resides on the communication device 200.
The automatic configuration method and apparatus of the invention is also fully compatible with the various other versions of DSL. One such variation comprises G.lite, a power managed version of DSL. G.lite is designed to include a power-down mode that stops communication to save power at both the DSLAM (digital subscriber line access multiplexer) and the CPE (customer premise equipment) devices. To resume operation, the DSLAM or CPE sends a tone or signal on the communication line. Therefore, the automatic configuration systems described herein are desirably configured to maintain the configuration of the switching devices to insure reception of the activation tone by the communication circuitry of the CPE device. In one embodiment configured to operate under the G.lite communication standard, the default position of the switch device is in connection with the inner pair of cables (inner cable set) as the most common G.lite service configuration is on the inner pair or cable set. To maintain switch position, power is continually provided to the switch device regardless of the G.lite state. Alternatively, magnetic latching relays may be utilized.
Two Communication Standards on a Single Communication Device
In an alternative embodiment more than one communication standard is enabled on a single communication device.
The first switch 210 output connects to a first communication circuitry 348. The first communication circuitry may be any type of communication circuitry configured to facilitate communication between a remotely located device over a communication medium. In one embodiment the first communication circuitry 348 is configured to operate under any of the DSL standards.
Secondary conductors 356 connect to conductors 204 as shown to maintain isolation of each of the four conductors. The conductors 204, 356 may also be characterized as an inner pair I1, I2 and outer pair O1, O2. A second switch 354 connects to the secondary conductors. In one embodiment the second switch 354 is generally similar to the first switch 210, both of which are described above in greater detail. A second communication circuitry 352 connects to the second switch 354. Second communication circuitry 352 comprises any type of communication circuitry configured to facilitate communication between a remotely located device over a communication medium. In one embodiment the communication circuitry 348 is configured to operate as an analog modem system, such as under the V0.90 standard.
Switch control circuitry 350 connects to both of the first communication circuitry 348 and the second communication circuitry 352 and to each of the first switch 210 and the second switch 354. The switch control circuitry comprises circuitry configured to interact with the systems 210, 348, 354, 352. Such interaction includes receiving information from the first communication circuitry 348 regarding receipt of signals via switch 210 to control the latching mechanisms of switch 210 to connect to either of the inner pair I1, I2 or the outer pair O1, O2 in a manner described herein. Similarly, the switch control circuitry 350 also receives information from the second communication circuitry 352 regarding receipt of signals via switch 354 to control the latching mechanisms of switch 354 to connect to either of the inner pair I1, I2 or the outer pair O1, O2 in a manner described herein. In one embodiment, the switch control circuitry 350 detects a dial tone or presence of tip/ring voltage on either of the inner pair I1, I2 or the outer pair O1, O2. Thus, a dual standard communication device 372 advantageously uses automatic configuration to utilize the communication line having the communication service enabled thereon.
Single Input/Output Connector/Single Communication Circuitry
At a step 500 a user connects the communication device to a communication cable. In one embodiment this comprises plugging a four-conductor telephone cable into one of the connectors or jacks on the communication device. Next, at a step 502, power is provided to the communication device. In one configuration this comprises providing power to a bus into which the communication device is connected or actuating a power switch on the communication device.
At a step 504 it is assumed the switches are in the default position. If not in the default position, at least at the time of first use, the switches are set to their default position.
Thereafter, the communication device initiates the automatic configuration process by, at a step 506, transmitting over the default pair (inner pair) a tone request or other similar request to the DSLAM equipment at the central office. The tone request comprises a signal from the CPE to other remote communication apparatus to request initiation of a communication session. At a step 507 the communication device monitors for an acknowledgment tone on the inner pair that is customarily sent in response to the tone transmitted, in step 506, by the CPE or other communication apparatus at a remote location. The acknowledgment tone comprises a signal sent from a remote location in response to the tone request.
Next, at step 508 the operation determines if it has received a tone on the to default pair (inner pair) within a time-out period. In one example embodiment the time-out period comprises 10 milliseconds to 1 second. If the step 508 determines that the acknowledgment has been received on the inner pair then the latch position is in the correct position and the operation progresses to a step 510. In the step 510 the operation begins an initialization process associated with the particular communication standard enabled on the default pair, in this example the inner pair.
Alternatively, if at step 508 the operation determines that an acknowledgment has not been received on the inner pair within the time-out period, then the operation progresses to a step 512 where the switch control circuitry actuates the switches to connect to a non-default position. In this example, the non-default position comprises a connection to the outer pair as shown in FIG. 6B. Thereafter, at a step 514 the communication device, now being connected to the outer pair, transmits a tone request to the DSLAM or other remote communication apparatus to attempt to initiate a communication session. In alternative embodiments a signal other than a tone request can be sent.
At a step 516, the operation monitors for an acknowledgment tone on the outer pair that would be sent from the DSLAM or other remote communication apparatus in response to the tone request from step 514. At step 518, the process determines if to the acknowledgment tone was received within the time-out period. If an acknowledgment tone was received within the time-out period, the operation progresses to a step 520 and the communication device initiates the communication session as is known in the art.
In the alternative, if an acknowledgment signal was not received within the time-out period, then various reasons may exist for the failure of the communication device and remote communication apparatus to establish a communication link. These reasons include but are not limited to lack of service on the line, malfunction of the communication device or the remote communication apparatus, and poor channel quality. At a step 522, the operation may optionally provide a message to the user that the communication service is not on either of the inner or outer pair.
In alternative embodiments the automatic configuration system may continue the process described in steps 512-518 any number of times to thereby integrate any number of cable sets. A cable set may be any number of conductors. Similarly, the operation is not limited to integration of a 'pair' of lines. It may utilize any of a single or plurality of lines during each of the one or more connection processes.
Single Input/Output Connector/Dual Communication Circuitry
Turning now to
After monitoring for a tone, the operation progresses to step 560 wherein the operation determines if a tone was detected within the time-out period. In one embodiment the time out period comprises 10 milliseconds to 1 second. If a tone is detected then the operation progresses to a step 562 wherein the second communication circuitry begins the initialization process.
Alternatively, if the operation does not detect a tone at step 560, then the operation progresses to a step 564. At step 564 the switch control circuitry, being in communication with the second communication circuitry, actuates the latches of the second switch to cause the second switch latch to an alternate pair of communication lines.
After changing the connection to the alternate pair of communication lines the operation repeats the process at a step 566 and a step 568 by first initiating an off-hook condition and monitoring for tone on the second communication device and secondly determining if a tone was detected within the time-out period.
If a tone was detected, the operation progresses to a step 570 and the second communication circuitry initiates the communication session. In the alternative, if the second communication does not detect tone, the system, at a step 572, provides the user with a message that tone is not present.
As with the previous method of operation, the automatic configuration system continues the process described in steps 560-572 any number of times to thereby integrate any number of pairs of lines. Similarly, the operation is not limited to integration of a 'pair' of lines. It may utilize any of a single or plurality of lines during each of the one or more connection processes.
It will be understood that the above described arrangements of apparatus and the method therefrom are merely illustrative of applications of the principles of this invention and many other embodiments and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

I was so very excited to discover that my 10th great grandfather was John Billington, Mayflower passenger signer of the Mayflower Compact and the first person to be tried and hung for murder in our country's history. I am still excited and actually proud. However I think it would be more exciting if he were famous for something other than murder.
I am wondering if anyone in my family can help me fill out this family tree that I have started on ancestry.com

New Knicks Get a Crash Course
Six Players on the New York Roster Are Having to 'Reprogram Their Whole Brains'
Now that the days-long Carmelo Anthony celebration has ended, the Knicks must address the basketball end of the trade. And with six new players, the Knicks have a bit of a problem: It's time for training camp in February.
Along with Anthony and point guard Chauncey Billups, the forgotten players in the Anthony deal were forwards Shelden Williams, Corey Brewer and Renaldo Balkman along with guard Anthony Carter. The result has been what amounts to an on-the-fly crash course playing out on practice courts and film rooms all of this week. On Saturday, the team went through a marathon film session—with frequent stops to acclimate the new players to the schemes. Forward Shawne Williams said it could take "a week or two" for the new Knicks to "reprogram their whole brains" from the years in Denver, or Minnesota in Brewer's case.
"We don't know anything right now, we've had one real practice…we got confused with a lot of the schemes in Cleveland and you can tell that if you watched the game, we just have to clean things up," Brewer said. "A lot of [practices and film sessions] are about the new guys right now."
That the Knicks are not a finished product became clear on Friday night, when they dropped a 115-109 game to the NBA's worst team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said that in Anthony's first game against Milwaukee, the energy and the crowd helped the team play above the mistakes that occur with such a new team. With the euphoria gone, nothing can help the Knicks except time.
Practice time is not a luxury the Knicks have, as D'Antoni is quick to mention. The team plays 18 games in the next 31 days and D'Antoni said that he will play the Knicks with longer tenures over some of the newer players because of it.
"The biggest difficulty is to not overburden them too much, we're all anxious to get everything in—the playbooks and the defensive schemes, but we have our guys and we have to go with them," D'Antoni said.
The other clear problem with Friday night's game was Anthony and Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire's inability to both score while in the game together.
Stoudemire missed his first six shots on Friday as Anthony exploded for 16 points in the first quarter. The stars traded turns being the focal point of the offense and Stoudemire ended up with 31 points. Anthony has 27 points in both of his games as a Knick, Stoudemire scored 19 on Wednesday against Milwaukee. D'Antoni said he's confident a flow will develop over time.
As for which new Knicks can expect regular playing time aside from Anthony and Billups, D'Antoni said that's mostly to be determined. D'Antoni said that Balkman will get playing time in a few games, enough of a sample size for D'Antoni to evaluate, he says, then the team will go from there.
Brewer, Carter and Shelden Williams, he said, will fall into place once the numbers game works itself out.
Jared Jeffries, a former Knick who was bought out of his contract last week by the Houston Rockets, could be a potential option at forward.

Sunday Scramble
For anyone who sees Sunday as the day to get organized and focused, a healthy egg scramble is just the fuel you need. Eggs are packed with vitamins and protein, and chard is full of vitamin C and flavonoids. A little prosciutto and onion for the taste buds, and you are set to take on the day!
Working Girl's Kitchen: http://workinggirlskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/sunday-scramble.html
Sunday Scramble
2 egg whites
1 egg
1 cup chopped chard
1/4 cup torn prosciutto bits
1/4 white onion diced
salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon water
Separate the eggs from the whites in a bowl. Add the egg to the egg whites plus 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk well.
In a saute pan, add cooking oil and diced onion. Saute on medium heat for about 2 minutes, then add torn up prosciutto bits. Let the flavors marinate for about 5 minutes, then add the chard and continue to saute until chard appears wilted. Quickly pour in the egg mixture. Using a wooden spoon scramble ingredients together until egg is fully cooked. Salt & pepper to taste. I would wait to add the salt as the prosciutto adds saltiness that may be just enough for your taste buds.
This is a quick and satisfying meal for one on the run! Enjoy!

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Canada Dollar Drops for Fifth Week as Jobs Data Adds to Gloom
Canada's dollar dropped for a fifth consecutive week in the longest losing streak in a year as speculation a slowing recovery for the nation's biggest trade partner and Europe's worsening debt crisis curtailed demand.
The currency touched the lowest since November after a report yesterday showed the U.S. added the fewest jobs in a year. Bank of Canada policy makers meet on June 5, four days after Statistics Canada said growth stagnated in the January-March period as consumer spending increased at the slowest pace in three years, raising the chances of lower interest rates by the end of 2012.
"You had the dual-pronged attack on the Canadian dollar, with worse than expected payrolls and GDP," said John Curran, senior vice president in Toronto at CanadianForex Ltd., an online foreign-exchange dealer, in a telephone interview. "That plays firmly into the hands of the 'risk-off' scenario which is the underlying trade out there because of European concerns."
Canada's currency, nicknamed the loonie for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, slid 1.1 percent to C$1.0410 per U.S. dollar yesterday in Toronto, from C$1.0293 on May 25. The currency touched C$1.0443, the weakest level since Nov. 28. One Canadian dollar buys 96.06 U.S. cents.
Government bond yields fell to record lows as investors sought safety. The price of the benchmark 10-year bond climbed C$1.76 cents to C$110.32, driving the yield down 19 basis points on the week to 1.63 percent. It touched 1.615 percent, the lowest since at least 1950, according to data compiled by the Bank of Canada and Bloomberg.
Century Lows
Thirty-year bond yields fell to 2.197 percent, the lowest since 1991, when Canada first issued the debt, according to the central bank data.
Monthly average yields for bonds with maturities of more than 10 years never fell below 2.55 percent between 1919 and 1989, according to the Bank of Canada. Interest rates on long-term bonds in January 1919, when the data series began two months after the end of World War I, were 5.72 percent.
Bonds rallied and the loonie had its biggest intraday loss this year yesterday after the U.S. Labor Department said payrolls climbed by 69,000 last month, less than the most-pessimistic forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. The median projection called for a 150,000 May advance. The jobless rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent.
Canada's gross domestic product grew 0.1 percent in March, Ottawa-based Statistics Canada said, less than the median economist forecast of 0.3 percent.
'Bigger Risk'
"Short-term trend momentum remains bullish" for the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian, Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank's TD Securities unit, wrote in a note to clients yesterday. "We still think the bigger risk is to the topside and a move to C$1.06 at least."
Investors increased bets the Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney will lower borrowing costs. Trading suggests the central bank will cut interest rates by 35 basis points by year-end, according to Bloomberg calculations on overnight rate swaps. Canada's 12-month overnight index swap rate, which is tied to forecasts for the Bank of Canada's policy rate, fell to 0.865 percent, the lowest level this year.
Investors are waiting to see if there's any change in language next week from Carney, who said last month interest-rate increases may be necessary as growth and inflation outpace his earlier projections, and as slack disappears from the economy. Policy makers have kept the benchmark rate at 1 percent since September 2010.
Volatility Rises
Implied volatility for one-month options on the Canadian dollar versus the greenback increased yesterday to the highest level since Jan. 6, 10.31 percent, after falling to 6.59 percent on April 30. The five-year average is 12 percent. Implied volatility, which traders quote and use to set option prices, signals the expected pace of currency swings.
The loonie gained 0.8 percent over the past three months against nine developed-nation peers monitored by Bloomberg Correlation Weighted Indexes. The U.S. dollar was up 7.1 percent, and the euro fell 0.7 percent. Australia's dollar slid 5 percent, and Sweden's krona lost 3.1 percent.
Crude oil, Canada's biggest export, fell for a fifth week. June futures dropped 8.4 percent to $83.23 per barrel in New York. Raw materials account for half of Canada's export revenue.
Although the Canadian dollar may drop further versus the greenback, it stands to gain against the euro, according to Jeremy Stretch, head of currency strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
"It's tough to be anything but bearish on the euro," Stretch said by phone yesterday from London. "The politicians have to have their feet literally dragged into the fire before they make the unpleasant decisions. C$1.25 is not an unlikely target point. That's probably got the majority of juice in it," compared with other crosses, he said.
The loonie ended yesterday at C$1.2869 versus the 17-nation common currency, little changed on the week.

I'm working on a rails-2.3 app that's using composed_of to create an Address class which knows how to geocode itself, among other things. This is all well and good, but given a loaded model that has an address, when I change the fields of which the address is composed on the model, the address instance neither changes nor re-creates itself automatically, and I'm afraid I can't figure out the cleanest way to forcibly make that happen.
The model code is straightforward:
class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
composed_of :address, :mapping => [%w(address1 address1), %w(address2 address2), %w(city city), %w(state state), %w(postal_code postal_code), %w(country_code country), %w(longitude lng), %w(latitude lat)]
Any suggestions?
I've subsequently answered this but cannot answer my own question already, so here goes:
It turns out that composed_of creates a reader method that has an (undocumented) force_reload parameter. I take advantage of that and create accessor methods for each of the composed fields:
composed_of :address, :mapping => ADDRESS_MAPPING
ADDRESS_MAPPING.each do |field, composed_field|
next if %w(latitude longitude).include?(field)
define_method "#{field}=" do |value|
self[field] = value
if send("#{field}_changed?")
self[:longitude] = nil
self[:latitude] = nil
It's a bit hokey, but it works.
I might see about factoring this changed? check up into the based composed_of reader method.

Manufacturer: International (View all products by International Riding Helmets (IRH))
Model: Velvet Helmet (View all Velvet Helmet reviews)
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this helmet off ebay for around $20. I was looking for a nice helmet to show my horse in hunt seat with.
Likes: The velvet looks great. It has a nice classy ribbon in the back. Also, it seems to fit my head so well and since it doesn't have the new dial feature it also is not as bulky as some of the new helmets by Troxel and other companies.
Dislikes: Only that it is velvet, but that is what I bought! So I just keep it covered when I am not using it so it doesn't get ruined. Not a big deal.
Quality: Great quality, I have had my helmet for 3-4 years now and it still looks great.
Summary: I would recommend this helmet to anyone, it is great quality and super cute too! It is always fun when you can find the real deal on ebay and pay less too!

When Johnson County adopted voting centers, one of the arguments was that fewer workers would be required than under the precinct system.
But beyond operating a minimum number of polling sites, the state set no rules about how many voting centers the county would need to operate. So it should come as no surprise that county election officials are looking at reducing the number of sites for the May 6 primary.
This year's election will be the first non-presidential election since vote centers were implemented in the county in 2012. Voters will cast ballots in eight contested races in May to determine which candidates will appear on the fall ballot. All but one of those races will be on the Republican ticket. Contests range from township positions to a seat in Congress.
Johnson County Clerk Sue Anne Misniec said eight contested races is more than the county typically has in a non-presidential election year. She expects a lower turnout for this election, which is typical for a non-presidential primary. As a result, she said, officials are considering cutting the number of early voting sites from six to three.
The high number of contested Republican races should draw voters to the polls because the winner could end up being the person who takes office, Misiniec said. If Democrats don't find a candidate willing to run for a position, the winner in the primary would be unopposed and automatically win, she said.
Democrats will vote on only one contested race. Three candidates are running for the nomination to be the candidate for U.S. representative in District 9. If that race weren't on the ballot, the county wouldn't offer a Democrat ballot in May.
In addition, Misiniec said, the county plans to set up polling sites before Election Day at the county's three large retirement communities because election board members think residents didn't have easy enough access to polling sites.
"The public can come in and vote, but it will be primarily the residents of those communities and their employees. We're reaching out to them to make a difference and make it a little easier for them," she said.
Misiniec said the county originally planned to locate vote centers at the retirement centers, but the plan was scrapped because none had enough parking. That meant residents had to be bused to polling sites or election workers had to bring absentee ballots to them.
Both moves are good steps by the county. Reducing the number of polling places should save money without significantly impacting turnout. And operating early-voting sites at the major retirement centers compensates for those institutions losing their precinct voting stations and should make it easier for the residents to vote, especially since many residents have mobility issues.
Voting centers offer flexibility not only for voters but also for the people who run the elections. That flexibility allows election officials to make adjustments that weren't possible with the precinct-voting system.
Johnson County is taking the correct course in considering adjusting the number of voting centers based on anticipated turnout. And if decisions made for the primary negatively affect turnout, then adjustments can be made for the fall general election and future primaries.
At the same time, though, we urge officials to be careful not to duly inconvenience large numbers of voters. After all, when there is limited turnout, just a handful of votes can make a difference.

You need to get better calification from whomever is working on your car. Computer modules fail at times and need to be replaced. I would not call it a chip ...lots of folks come up with different names for things at times. Unlikely that the window problem relates but hard to say for sure depending on what computer has failed. Chryslers have engine control modules and body control modules. Impossible to estimate cost with such limited information.

Flor De Haba Group
The loan they are requesting will benefit micro-entrepreneurs of which Natty is a member. She says that this is her first time with Pro Mujer, joining after a friend who is a member of the institution invited her. Currently, she has a business selling baby clothes. She learned the business from a sister-in-law who also sells the products.
The loan she is requesting is to increase her capital (by buying baby blankets) that she will buy from distributor companies and later sell at the markets in El Alto city. This work allows her to generate income to support her family as much as she can, as she is married and has a son.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she said she enjoys the health education they provide.
In the photograph, she is joined by the daughter of Mrs. Genara who is dressed in pink.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Natty es integrante, ella indica que es la primera vez que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de su amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de ropa de bebe; cuenta que este negocio lo aprendió de su cuñada que comercializaba estos productos.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de frazadas de bebe) que adquirirá de las empresas distribuidoras y posteriormente lo comercializará en las ferias de la ciudad de El Alto. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener en lo posible a su hogar pues ella es casada y tiene un hijo.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta las capacitaciones del área de salud.
En la fotografía acompaña la hija de la señora Genara, quien esta vestida de rosado.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

political process should not impede Native American government efforts to assist tribal members. Skeptical that the federal and state governments had an interest in fair and equitable treatment of their tribes, this group, as was true of the other Cherokees and Keetoowahs, believed that many of their society's problems could be solved by dealing with them on the local or tribal level. Hence, messages contained within the advertisements were viewed primarily as campaign rhetoric rather than a focused agenda by the candidates. Nevertheless, the students did believe that even though the candidates presented in the ads were unwilling or incapable of affecting such programs, attention to these issues was important for Native Americans to understand and evaluate the environment in which they lived.
The elders group also recognized the possibility for positive change through tribal action, questioned federal involvement with Native American issues, and brought distinctly identifiable Cherokee attitudes to the conversation. Their discussion of tobacco, addiction, and personal responsibility was often framed through a consideration of how their parents and ancestors had behaved. Traditional Cherokee behavior was identified as a positive role model by members of this group when trying to suggest solutions for the problems they discussed. Consequently, Cherokee history and values were clearly instrumental in how the elders looked at contemporary political candidates and issues. Although this condition was true of all three groups, the Cherokee elders group also displayed the Native American trait of looking to their ancestors for guidance during the course of their discussion.
We are especially grateful to the participants of the focus groups. We are also indebted to the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and Rodney Osborne and Dana Eversole of Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, for assisting us in arranging the focus groups. We also thank the Tulsa World and the Tahlequah Times Journal for donating subscriptions of the newspapers to aid in our analysis.

No. 37 Red Raiders Upset No. 24 OSU, 5-2
Felipe Soares upset No. 86 Jacob Sude to lead Texas Tech to a 5-2 win over Oklahoma State.
April 11, 2014
STILLWATER, Okla. – No. 37 Texas Tech won five the hard way, as the Red Raiders upset No. 24 Oklahoma State, 5-2, Friday night at the Greenwood Tennis Center.
"This is one of the biggest wins I have ever been associated with," said Red Raider head coach Tim Siegel, in his 22nd season at the helm of the program. "We gave away the doubles point, but came back and battled better than we have all season. I was so upset with our performance in doubles, especially at No. 1. But I was real pleased with how they responded in singles.
"Our top two guys (Felipe Soares and Hugo Dojas) were fantastic. I am so proud of these guys. To beat a Top 25 team on the road in their first-ever match outdoors in their new facility is such a tremendous feeling."
After starting the season 5-5, the Red Raiders have now won eight of their last nine matches, With the win, Texas Tech improves to 11-18 all-time against Oklahoma State, but the Red Raiders have won the last six meetings with the Cowboys. OSU now leads the series in Stillwater, 4-3.
With the match tied 5-5 at No. 3 doubles, OSU's Brady Bohrnstedt and Chris Haworth won the last three games to take the match, 8-5, against Tech's Jolan Cailleau and Francisco Zambon. In an almost identical fashion, the Red Raiders' Felipe Soares and Hugo Dojas led 5-4 at No. 1, only to see No. 21 Ajun Kadhe and Jakob Sude, pull out an 8-6 win.
Tech's lone doubles win came at No. 2, where Maxime Hinnisdaels and Johann Willems edged Lucas Gerch and Sebastian Sachs, 8-6.
But after the intermission, a different Texas Tech team returned to the court. The Red Raiders took the first set in four of six matches.
Hinnisdaels was the first Red Raider to get on the board, as the freshman picked up a straight-set win over Gerch, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3, tying the match, 1-1.
OSU retook the lead, as Kadhe topped Zambon, 6-4, 6-2, but again the Red Raiders answered. #115 Dojas evened the score with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Sachs at No. 2.
The freshman Willems gave Tech the lead for good with a 6-3, 7-6 (10-8).
With a 3-2 lead and two matches left on the court, the upset was in sight for the Red Raiders. Both Soares and Cailleau went to a third set. #105 Soares upset #86 Sude, 6-3, 6-7 (10-12), 6-3 at No. 1, followed close behind by Cailleau's 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 win over Nikoli Ferrigno at No. 6. For Soares, it was his 20th victory of the season as a Red Raider.
Texas Tech will now travel to Norman to face No. 4 Oklahoma on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Headington Family Tennis Center.
The Red Raiders close out the regular season next weekend when Texas Tech hosts No. 56 TCU on Friday at 6 p.m. and No. 7 Texas on Saturday at 6 p.m.
#37 Texas Tech 5, #24 Oklahoma State 2

text: I am fed up with the ads and I really want to get rid of this. Well I have most of the time found the ads when I am working with the Hotmail account of mine and I really want to know the way by which I have this ads permanently removed. I have seen that when I am logged in the account of mine an ad is always there and the ad is also bigger in size. When I was looking at the ad; I noticed that there is a close button there that can close the ad and can give me the enormous space so that I can read the mails there. Now after closing the ad and then when I browse to the next page the ad gets poped up and hence I would like to know if I can get this permanently blocked here. Thanks in advance.

White Oak Hunting Service is located in Dundee, MS, in Tunica County, right in the heart of the Mississippi flyway. Every year, thousands of waterfowl migrate to the Mississippi Delta and because of our close proximity to the Mississippi River, Coldwater River and Arkabutla Reservoir, our location is prime hunting ground for ducks, as well as geese. We have pits and blinds located in bean, milo and rice fields, as well as flooded timber holes.
We are in our sixth year at White Oak Hunting Service. Our goal is to provide high-quality hunts that are both safe and enjoyable.

We will provide experienced hunting guides, decoys, transportation to/from the blinds for you and your guests … all adding up to an unforgettable experience. We welcome bringing your children along on hunts and if you like, you can even bring your hunting dog to retrieve.

This is cute. Seeing this, I sense the connection between the two. The one who will descend a lineage that spans three timelines and the other, a pirate who has her destiny cut out for her.
Very cute!
Well if it isn't quite a cute pair.
skyward sword zelda is my fav
So cute! :]
SS Zelda's got THUNDER THIGHS! XD
I love this!!!!!
So cute! The one thing though that's throwing me off is SS Zelda's hips! Wow! I can see by your other work that you have a great concept of anatomy, but as a bit of constructive criticism- to me, having her hips so big when the rest of her's pretty small/average just makes the half of her body under the belts look like it's meant for a larger/taller person. Only giving my opinion/help. I still like the art though! ^_^
this is so cool
Zeldas everywhere i love it!!!
excelente jejeje sigue asi adelante te apoyo de tu arte....ñ_ñ
