Screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie was one of several credited writers on the screenplay for the recent Tom Cruise-led sci-fi epic "Edge of Tomorrow". Speaking with Film School Rejects, McQuarrie discussed some of the changes that happened to the material - specifically how the film was originally a much darker affair than the end result.
Apparently, Cruise was the one to stress the importance of the story's inherent dark humor - something even McQuarrie initially didn't see. Once that began to be incorporated, the film's controversial and more 'upbeat' current ending came into effect:
"I was always arguing it has to end on the helicopter. You have to be thrown back to wondering, 'Did the movie even happen? Did any of this really happen?' To that end, there were a million things you had to do with the writing and visually, to serve that ending. That presented a lot of challenges and debate for us. We really struggled to deliver what the movie needed to be emotionally.
I know the ending was somewhat controversial, with some people who didn't like it. I think the only way to make those people happy would to end the movie in a way that wasn't happy. We weren't interested in doing that. It needed to end in a way that wasn't harsh."
McQuarrie also revealed that an early version of the script had an even more out there third act, but it was too exposition heavy and exhausting to use:
"When Tom loses the power, and they go to Paris, and Tom is preparing the team as they go into Paris where he's telling them the rules of the movie, he tells the team everything the audience knows. Basically, he told them: 'Kill as many Mimics as you want, but do not kill an Alpha. If you kill an alpha we'll be right back here having this conversation, and we won't even know it. The enemy will know we're coming and they'll kill us all.'
When they get to Paris there's the classic horror movie scene where one of them gets separated from the group, and he gets attacked by an Alpha and kills it. As he kills it, you see the Omega reset the day and you see the point-of-view of the villain. We cut to the plane and hear the same speech all over again. This time when he gets to the line, 'You can bet they'll have a plan to kill us all,' the ship gets hit. As the audience, you realize the enemy knows they're coming. The problem was you were so exhausted by the time you got to that point."

[dropcap]"I[/dropcap]t was the best of times; it was the worst of times." Never in the realm of sports has this Dickensian line been more relevant than now in the city of Seattle.
Just a few years removed from losing their beloved SuperSonics NBA franchise in the midst of corruption and shady business practices, the city is about to get a team again. Unfortunately, it is at the cost of Sacramento.
Before delving into the gritty details of the NBA's wheel of fortune, let us begin by introducing the history of the cities and their respective franchises, which, admittedly, involves more than simply two cities and one franchise.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Kings franchise is one of the oldest in the NBA's history. The team was formed in 1945 as part of the National Basketball League. This newborn team was nowhere near Sacramento, nor where they the Kings; they were the Rochester Royals. The Royals found immediate success, winning the coveted NBL title in their first year of existence. They followed their rookie tour with two more NBL Final appearances, after which they headed to the newly formed Basketball Association of America in their inaugural season. Both the BAA and the NBL joined forces in 1949 to create the beginning of what we now know as the National Basketball Association.
In 1951, the Royals captured their first, and only, NBA title but still found it very difficult being financially stable in Rochester, so the team was forced to move to Cincinnati. Their win-loss record later matched their economic woes, as the team was plagued with losing season after losing season up until they struck gold and acquired University of Cincinnati alum Oscar Robertson. [1]
What followed was moderate success but the Royals were never able to capture a title, partly because the Boston Celtics infamously took the decade and ran with it with their collection of now-legendary players. Oscar Robertson left to the Milwaukee Bucks and won a championship that same year.
The wandering Royals franchise then moved again. This time, the team relocated to Kansas City and changed their name in order to separate themselves from the baseball team of the same name. [2] After a similar route of moderate success without reaching the ultimate prize of a league championship followed by long losing streaks, the team packed their bags and headed to Sacramento in 1985.
The Sacramento Kings' luck turned in the late 1990s as the entrepreneurial, Vegas casino-owning Maloof family purchased the team. The sale, along with the acquisitions of Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, and Vlade Divac made the Kings into instant contenders. The first few years had with intense rivalries with division rivals Los Angeles Lakers. However, they only went as far as the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs. [3]
The lowly Kings then stumbled back into mediocrity and talks of selling the team to various suitors from cities such as Virginia Beach, Anaheim, and Seattle ensued.
[dropcap]U[/dropcap]nlike the Rochester/Cincinnati/Kansas City-Omaha/ Sacramento Royals/Kings, the team that was once the Sonics, up until recent memory, was always the Seattle SuperSonics. There were no name changes, or abrupt relocations. [4]
The SuperSonics were established in 1967 as part of the NBA. In terms of wins, the team was moderately successful having won six division titles, three conference titles, and one NBA Championship in 1979. [5]
Their most recent history is controversial. In the early to mid 2000s, then-owner and Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz was looking to sell the franchise to an Oklahoma City businessman by the name of Clay Bennett. Throughout the negotiations, Bennett and Schultz were very public about their intentions to keep the Sonics in Seattle. Despite the open display of goodwill, many diehard SuperSonics fans believed that the franchise's days in Seattle were numbered.
And all throughout, the team on the court just kept getting worse and worse. With the team at the bottom of the standings, fans seldom flocked to the KeyArena to watch their beloved Sonics play. Fans endlessly protested the sale, and few even made a documentary called Sonicsgate: Requiem for a Team, detailing the heartbreaking process of losing the team that they had for 41 years. [6]
In the end, the money talked and the Seattle franchise moved to Oklahoma City and was rebranded as the Oklahoma City Thunder. What's worse is that after years and years of tanking, the team managed to get enough young players to become one of the best teams in the NBA.
The city was still entitled to keep the SuperSonics' history in Seattle, including all trophies and retired jerseys.
However, the fans' resentment for their former franchise could not be any higher; it is as if they were swindled, robbed, and forced to see the thieves celebrate their newfound riches.
[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ow, these two histories are intertwining. A Seattle-based group led by Chris Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has bought the Sacramento franchise. It is likely that the team nickname, logo and colors would remain in California's capitol but all other assets would be moved to Seattle which is what the emerald city experienced only years before.
But is a franchise that has wandered from city to city for the past 60 years more valuable than one that has stayed in one city? The attitude is much different now than it was when Seattle was losing their team. Fans were sad to see Seattle lose a team. It seems that the media is more relieved that the Kings are finally going away.
But both teams have great histories; the difference may have come down to the Kings'constant relocations and name change. Loyalty may go a long way in this case.
How does Sacramento react to deal's inevitability? Unfortunately, all they can do is sit there while their franchise of 20+ years is taken away from them. There is no restraint coming from Sacramento mayor, and former NBA player, Kevin Johnson. According to the Sacramento Bee, Johnson hopes to keep the team but has not yet come up with a plan. Not having a plan this late in the process already shows that Sacramento will lose their franchise.
But how does Seattle keep its humility considering that they were on the other side of the spectrum just a few years ago? The producers of the SonicsGate documentary gave Grantland their perspective on the pending issue:
"Regardless of how you spin the situation, the fans are not to blame for this mess. Sonics fans are not the enemies of Kings fans, just as basketball fanatics who wanted an NBA team in Oklahoma City are not and have never been the enemy of Sonics fans or the Sonicsgate movement. We've never blamed the OKC fans or players for anything, and we've only criticized the people who had the power to solve the problem."
In many respects, they are right. These franchises and histories are never truly about the fans as much as one would like to think; instead, the groups that own each franchise, often consisting of millionaires, will always dominate the conversation. After all, they are the ones that are paying top dollar to own a piece of NBA history. They can do whatever they want with it.
In cases like these, the owners can systematically betray the hometown fans to turn on the team, thereby making the moving process easier for everyone.
This will certainly not be the last time this will happen in the NBA, or in any other league. Franchises come and go as the market decides. Fans will be overzealous that their team is successful and other times they will pout over the disappointing results.
It is the work of the proverbial wheel of fortune: as one city's hopes of keeping its storied franchise dwindles, another gains what was unfairly taken away from them.

[1] Robertson became one of the greatest players in NBA history, most notably for averaging a triple-double (30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists) in only the second year of his career.
[2] Historically, most cities are fine with having two franchises with the same name that play different sports.
[3] It was not entirely their fault, however; the 2002 Western Conference Finals were allegedly "manipulated" according to disgraced ex-referee Tim Donaghy.
[4] The team was not impervious to the occasional rebranding.
[5] The SuperSonics defeated the Washington Bullets (now known as the Wizards) in a rematch of the previous year's Finals.

Not-so-risky business
Daniel Berman
Built in the mid-1960s, the Factoria Transfer Station in Bellevue will be replaced with a larger and enclosed facility. The project's expected to cost the King County (Wash.) Solid Waste Division $90 million.

Working in or near private right-of-ways is another major cost risk factor for seemingly straightforward projects like trail creation.
King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks
To the layman, existing utilities are a straightforward aspect of construction. But they're a potential complication that can greatly affect project cost.
To lower the number of truck trips to and from the factility and improve payload efficiency, King County's new Factoria Transfer Station will have a garbage compactor.
If managed rigorously, legislators and constituents celebrate a project that was delivered as close to budget and deadline as expected.
Rogers' assignment was straightforward. She was to:
"What was really important was to create a way to assess risk," she says. The first step was to do research, gather stakeholders, and talk to program managers to "learn about planning and estimation processes and see how things 'blow up'." Over four meetings, a committee made up of program managers, council and executive representatives, and other stakeholders helped the auditor's office identify risk factors and their relative importance and develop reporting procedures that were then tested.
"We asked each division to pick two projects: one risky and one routine," she says. Managers of those projects were asked to complete the forms and then asked:
1. Did you understand the language? For example, was it easy to describe the project using multiple choice questions?
2. How long did it take to complete the form? The goal was for reporting to take less than an hour.
Another goal of testing was to see "if the right projects floated to the top." In other words, since the process was being tested on completed projects with known levels of risk, did the new process correctly identify the riskier projects?
Development and testing took about six months and results were positive. The spreadsheets and forms developed made sense to project managers, could be completed in about half an hour, and were identifying the higher risk projects.

distracting your opponent
Anyone have any tricks or anything psychological they like to mess with their opponent?
I heard a good coach (trained a few good pros) at a gym I was visiting and when he was cornering his guy sparring he kept saying "make him second guess his attack"? That really made me think of the science of boxing and tricks you can do to people. Anyone have an idea of what he meant or anything you use personally that can throw someone off?

Controlling distance and feints are what gets people second guessing their attacks. The jab and use of feints is very important, helping you to break them down and adjust to their style, where you can then let off with body head combinations.
Watching the breakdown of marquez vs. pacqiauo 3 is a great example of the feints that marquez uses to control the action. Another good example is the Hopkins liver shot knockout of Oscar, where Hopkins feinted a right hand a bit subtly, Oscar raised his arms thinking a right was coming up top, and Hopkins hit him with the hook to the liver.
When you see a fighter who is throwing less punches than in his previous fight, it is often the result of the other fighters use of feint and counters. PBF money makes all his opponents drop their activity level, marquez did with PAC in their 3rd fight, and Martinez was hard to catch with his constant movement and misdirections against Chavez jr, who really didn't do a terrible job of cutting off the ring, but the experience and speedy footwork of martinez made it hard for him to get set and land his sitdown, flat footed punches, which he needs to do to be effective with his game.
Main idea is to give the opponent different looks, be able to switch it up, jab, feint, and mix up body head head body combinations.

with the new newbies during sparring I would drop my hands and point to their shoes and in a mouth gaurd language I would tell them that their shoe is untied. When they look down you smack them upside their heads a few times and dance away laughing at them. You'll be surprised at how many times it will work. Gotta be a newbie though, they are just so transfixed by your simple movement that they just can't think straight.........Rockin'

Residents of Columbia City and Deer Island were subjected to a 20-minute power loss on March 25 when a tree limb fell into power lines along Highway 30. Approximately 1,436 customers were affected, according to an announcement by Columbia River People's Utility District.
A gust of wind blew a tree limb into the power lines and caused the power loss at 3:17 p.m. Crews from the utility district were on scene quickly to remove the limb from the power line; power was restored for all customers at 3:37 p.m.
"The wind was really blowing," said John Shaffer, the line crew foreman who responded to the outage call. "It blew that limb over 100 feet sideways and into the power lines."

After a trip to Europe having wonderful fresh pistachios we wanted to create a cookie that reminded us of our travels. As chocolate lovers, we thought to make a cookie with pistachios and dark chocolate. And what better way to combine these two flavours than in a biscotti. Great for dunking in coffee or eating alone, these cookies will have you coming back for more.
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped (or 2t pure vanilla extract)
2T dark rum (or rum flavouring if you don't want to use alcohol)
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t baking powder
¾ t salt
½ t cinnamon
1 ½ cups raw pistachios
½ cup chopped pistachios for garnish
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
½ cup melted bittersweet chocolate, for dipping
1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. In a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy.
4. Add the eggs, vanilla seeds (or vanilla extract) and rum. Beat until smooth.
5. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and beat at low speed until incorporated. Beat in the whole pistachios.
7. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 1 1/4-inch-thick log. Arrange 2 logs on each baking sheet about 3 inches apart and press to flatten slightly. Brush the logs with the egg white.
8. Bake the logs for about 25 minutes, until the tops are cracked and glossy and slightly firm to the touch. Let the logs cool slightly – approximately 10-15 minutes.
9. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut the logs into 1/3-inch-thick diagonal slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets; bake for about 20 minutes, until dry. Let cool completely.
10. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
11. Partially dip the biscotti in the melted chocolate and sprinkle lightly with chopped pistachios.
12. Place each slice on the baking sheet and put in the refrigerator.
13. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Note: Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week or frozen for about a month.

Entering his sixth year at Long Beach State, Joey Cerulle became the eighth head coach in the 43-year history of the women's golf program in the summer of 2009.
Last season, Cerulle led LBSU to a second-place finish at the Big West Conference Championship for the second consecutive year and captured their first tournament title since 2009. Four 49ers were named to the All-Big West team for the second consecutive season as it was the most selected since 2006 when players from LBSU were honored.
Cerulle spent the 2008-09 season as the assistant coach for the men's and women's golf teams at California Baptist in Riverside, Calif. Cerulle was selected to replace Sue Ewart, who stepped down after serving 13 years as the 49ers' head coach. Cerulle helped both men's and women's teams at Cal Baptist to a pair of NAIA Top 25 rankings. The women's team achieved its highest ranking in school history as the Lancers were ranked No. 2. Cal Baptist also produced three NAIA All-Americans as the Lancers won the GSAC/CalPAC Conference and finished in third place at the National Tournament. He also coached the highest-rated player in the NAIA (Malin Thorberg). The men's team earned its first tournament title in program history as the Lancers won at Poppy Hills. They also finished second at the GSAC/Cascade Conference Championship. The Lancers finished the season ranked No. 23 in the nation by Golfstat.
From 2005 to the spring of 2008, Cerulle was the first-ever head coach at Concordia University in Irvine. While at Concordia, Cerulle guided both men's and women's teams into the NAIA Top 25. In 2007, the men's team advanced to the NAIA National Championships. He also coached one NAIA All-American, Gregg Banks and one Daktronics-Scholar Athlete.
Cerulle spent three seasons (2005-08) as assistant head golf coach at nearby St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower. While there, he coached a trio of players that went on to play at the collegiate level.
From 1998-2003, Cerulle was a golf instructor with the Long Beach Junior Golf Association as he taught course etiquette and rules and helped maintain and run the largest junior golf organization in California.
"The opportunity to come back home and to coach at Long Beach State is just tremendous," said Cerulle. "I've known Sue forever as she's helped me become a better coach and she's been a mentor of mine as well. You can't ask for a better Division-I program than the one that has been established here at Long Beach State. I look forward to defending the Big West title."
Cerulle is a 2004 graduate of Concordia University, earning his bachelor's in mathematics. He received the Most Outstanding Graduate Award from the mathematics department.
Cerulle and his wife, Sara, reside in Corona and have two sons, three-year old Nolan and eight-month old Henry.

K-State Outlasts Texas Tech
Minta Spears scored a 14 points for the second-straight game.
Feb. 15, 2014
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Texas Tech redshirt freshman Minta Spears scored 14 points and freshman Marina Lizarazu added 13 but Kansas State came away with a 60-54 win on Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum.
Spears scored 14 points for the second straight game while Lizarazu had her first points in three games and fifth game in double figures this season.
Tech (6-19, 0-14 Big 12) found itself in a back-and-forth battle with K-State for much of the game before an 8-0 run late in the second half gave the Lady Raiders its largest lead at 54-48 with 4:12 to play.
Spears and Lizarazu jumpstarted the second half by hitting three, 3-pointers after Tech went 0-for-6 behind the arc in the first half.
K-State (10-14, 4-9) then went on a 12-0 run in the final four minutes of the game while Tech missed its last three shots and turned the ball over four times.
Tech senior forward Haley Schneider scored a career-high eight points and continued her streak of games with a blocked shot (9) with her 43rd on Saturday.
The Lady Raiders will have the next week off before they play their "Play 4 Kay" game and take on No. 12 Oklahoma State (19-4, 8-4) at 2 p.m. on Feb. 25.

College Hockey:Lakers, Crusaders Co-Faves In Atlantic Hockey
Mercyhurst and Holy Cross have been tabbed the preseason favorites in Atlantic Hockey, according to the preseason coaches' poll released Wednesday at the league's annual media day.
The Lakers and the Crusaders received 59 points apiece, with Mercyhurst obtaining four first-place votes to Holy Cross' three.
Sacred Heart, which led the Atlantic Hockey standings for much of the season a year ago before falling in the final weeks, was chosen third with 49 points and collected the final first-place vote. Rounding out the top five were Canisius (40 points) and Connecticut (29 points).
Bentley (23 points), Army (18 points) and American International (11 points) were picked for positions six through eight, respectively.
Mercyhurst began last year's playoff as the third seed and won its first-ever Atlantic Hockey tournament crown, having twice captured the title as a member of the MAAC. The Lakers nearly upset top-seeded Boston College in the first round of the NCAA tournament last March, dropping a 5-4 decision.
Holy Cross, the 2004 Atlantic Hockey tournament champion, will host the semifinals and finals of the 2006 tournament at the Hart Center with the semifinals on Friday, March 17 and the finals set for Saturday, March 18. The quarterfinal round will be Saturday, March 11 at the site of the highest seed.
Mercyhurst kicks off the 2005-06 season with a nonconference weekend series against the Michigan Tech Huskies starting on Friday, October 7. The Atlantic Hockey slate will kick off Friday, October 28 with three games on tap. Army will travel to Holy Cross, Canisius will battle Sacred Heart and Connecticut will take on Mercyhurst.

Staying physically healthy can be just as challenging as staying financially healthy. It's easy to binge on food or money, and hard to remember to exercise or stay on a budget when everyone around you is going overboard on eating or spending. It can also be expensive to stay healthy. Good food costs more than high-calorie, processed foods, and gym memberships can be costly. Fortunately, there are ways to stay healthy without spending a lot of money.
Skip the Gym Membership
Gym memberships can cost about $50 a month, and using it requires you to spend money on transportation to and from the gym. Instead, think about exercises you can do at home. Running, push-ups, and sit-ups require no investment, and they're some of the best exercises you can do to work all of the major muscle groups.
Reduce Your Financial Stress
Taking care of your physical health is only useful if you're also taking care of your mental health. Money is one of the top reasons for stress, so it is important to get you finances in order. Research things like which are the best credit cards, how to lower your mortgage payments, how to cut back on your loan payments, and the best rate credit cards. Getting in charge of your finances will help you to cut a lot of stress out of your life. This will allow you to sleep better, be more motivated to exercise, and have less cardiac stress.
Shop at Farmer's Markets
Grocery store prices for produce can be ridiculously high, but farmers' markets allow you to buy the same fruits and vegetables for a fraction of the price. If you stick to buying in season produce, you can save even more. Depending on your area, you may also be able to buy bread, soap, and even meat at your local farmer's market
Avoid Pre-Made Snacks
Packaged cookies, cakes, and chips are some of the most calorie-dense food in the grocery store, and also some of the most expensive. By buying just the ingredients to make these items you'll be saving about 60% of the cost, and studies have shown you're more likely to eat less of these items and enjoy them more. This will help you to control your weight and lower your stress levels. Making your own also allows you to avoid preservatives or dyes that you don't want to eat.

College Hockey:'Long time coming' as Wisconsin skates past Denver
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin will play the remainder of its schedule on the road where the Badgers have mustered just one win this season, but that does not mean a 5-2 victory over No. 10 Denver Saturday night at the Kohl Center will not be important down the stretch.
"It just seems to the coaching staff that no matter where we end up in the standings, this is the kind of game we're going to need when we go to the playoffs," UW coach Mike Eaves said. "This is a playoff-ready type of game and that's the mentality we have to have as we go down these last four games."
Despite the loss, the Pioneers (18-10-4 overall, 13-7-4 WCHA) remained in third place in the WCHA, three points ahead of Colorado College. UW (13-15-2 overall, 8-14-2 WCHA) moved into a tie for tenth place with Minnesota State.
"Defensively, we were pretty bad tonight," Denver captain Drew Shore said. "[DU goaltender Sam] Brittain actually played pretty well tonight. If he didn't play the way he did, the score easily could have been eight or nine."
Entering Saturday, the Badgers had scored just seven goals during a five-game losing streak. When the Pioneers' Jason Zucker started Saturday's scoring a minute into the second period, the frustration on the UW bench was obvious.
However, the Badgers found offense where they usually find it, closely tied to sophomore center Mark Zengerle and junior defenseman Justin Schultz.
Zengerle tied the game five minutes later with his first point in five games and the Badgers added another midway through the period, marking Wisconsin's first multi-goal period since Jan. 27 against North Dakota.
"We spoke last night after the game and he was beside himself with frustration," Eaves said of Zengerle. "I told him, 'You're a good player, you need to remember that and just relax and play.' He did that tonight."
Zengerle added an assist to push his season point total to 41 (11 goals, 30 assists), becoming the fourth WCHA player to reach the 40-point plateau this season. Schultz became the fifth in the third period when he collected the puck at the point on a power play, waited for an angle and beat Brittain with a wrist shot.
"[Zengerle and Schultz] are always dangerous with the puck and you never know exactly what play they're going to make because they can make so many different plays," said Wisconsin forward Keegan Meuer, who gave the Badgers a two-goal cushion with a goal early in the third period.
The Badgers managed to reverse several trends from Friday night's 3-0 loss to the Pioneers, particularly on special teams.
After failing on one power-play opportunity Friday night, the Pioneers entered Saturday with a league-best 23.8 percent conversion rate (31-for-131). However, Denver managed just two shots on three opportunities Saturday and never found much rhythm with a man advantage.
"Based on what they were trying to do, we tried to counter-punch, if you will, and take some of their tendencies away," Eaves said.
"They were good," Shore said of UW's penalty killing unit. "They got in shot lanes up top and really took me away in the middle. That and up top, we couldn't really do anything."
The Badgers managed to convert on one out of four power-play opportunities Saturday after going scoreless on four tries Friday. The conversion came late in a series of back-to-back opportunities midway through the third period and ended any chance of a comeback.
"There were a couple times in the game when I thought we kept coming," Shore said. "I thought when I scored right at the beginning of the third, I think we were down 3-2, that gave us a little momentum. We just got in the box too many times and when you put those guys on the power play, they're going to score."
On Senior Night and in front of a sellout crowd of 15,325, Eaves said he thought it was the best his team has played all season.
"This is a long time coming," he said. "It was fun to be on the bench with these kids and see them get rewarded."

I just received a 7 bolt frame connector set from Beard Machine. It connects 640 front and rear frames & motor plates/transmission. Was there a preferred direction for these bolts? Without input I would think they went in left side with nuts on the right consistent with shackle bolts. My stripped chassis had no engine, transmission or motor mounts, only a big piece of iron bolted to front and rear to keep it from pivoting at upper frame bolt and collapsing.
My manual is a fine copy of a copied copy so it is hard to tell from that.

A common topic that comes up when implementing a new Celerra for a customer is how to configure networking. What's the point of five nines of uptime if your networking isn't reliable? So, what to do? The Celerra offers some great options for high available network configuration. Most built on industry standard items…a few proprietary to the EMC device.
Port Aggregation
The first option is something most people are at least a little bit familiar with, port aggregation. Depending on the standard used this is also called EtherChannel. The key here is that you are binding multiple Ethernet connections together. The idea is to have a single logical connection with one IP address made up of multiple physical Ethernet connections.
First, something very important. Using port aggregation does not automatically increase bandwidth. The reason for that is the statistical load balancing used to distribute traffic across the aggregated connections. Let's assume you have a single Celerra with four ports aggregated together and it's communicating with a single client device. There are several methods used to distribute load on a port channel with the two most common being MAC address and IP address hashing. What this means is that a client using one IP address talking to a Celerra with one IP address gets distributed across one physical connection in the aggregated link. So a single client will not see 4Gb of bandwidth when talking to a Celerra (or any device) with a four link port aggregation. But, four clients will see a total bandwidth of 4Gb since each one will be balanced across a separate link. The takeaway here is to think about "conversations". A client talking to a Celerra, or any other server using aggregation, is having a single conversation. A single conversation only gets sent over one physical link. Multiple conversations can be sent across multiple links. Also, port aggregation isn't intelligent. It just round robin balances connections without worrying about actual utilization. You could end up with 20 very low utiliziation connections on one port and 20 very intensive connections on another. To be blunt, a lot of people don't understand this but it's a very important detail, especially in other areas such as proper iSCSI architecture.
The Celerra supports both Cisco EtherChannel as well as the standard LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). There are some minor differences between them, but all the rules we just discussed apply. When looking to implement aggregation you should check your switches to see if they allow a group of aggregates to span multiple physical switches. The benefit here is that the aggregation group will survive a switch failure. Most new switches support this within a switch stack. If yours does, take advantage of it. Remember, the idea here is resiliency.
Fail Safe Networking
The Celerra supports a feature known as Fail Safe Networking, or FSN. FSN provides an active/passive network configuration. An FSN can be a single port, aggregation, or combination fo them both. A group of connections setup for FSN share a single MAC address but can have multiple IP addresses. As I just said, it is an active/passive configuration. This means that if you have four physical connections only two will be active at any one time. This is unlike simple port aggregation where all ports are active at any time. When a Celerra Data Mover detects a failure it automatically switches the connection to the passive interfaces.
So how does this compare to just using EtherChannel or LACP? The key differentiator is that FSN supports connections to different switches without the switch having to support this functionality. The downside is that only half the connections will be active at any one time. Which should you use? That depends on your switches. If your switches support port aggregation across switches in a stack use LACP or EtherChannel. You'll get better bandwidth to multiple clients with a simpler configuration. If your switches don't support this feature then look at FSN. You'll lose half the available bandwidth but gain much better fault tolerance.

eggshell mosaics
yesterday i made egg salad with all of our hardboiled easter eggs, and as i was peeling these colorful little orbs, i thought that the pretty shells must have yet another life in them. then it hit me – mosaics.
i have always adored making mosaics. i made a huuuge one in grad school from tiles i painted, fired, cut, and grouted myself… mixed with mirrors and photos under glass. whew! this was going to be quite a different feat – so much tinier, so much easier, right? so i saved the shells.
then i organized them by color while N napped – way satisfying for this ROY G BIV nerd!
i decided that the colors would really pop on a black background. i took the liberty of drawing butterfly and dragonfly shapes on the papers before N woke up that we could fill in together later. your kids can draw their own shapes, or no shapes at all. the eggshells are so pretty in their own right that they don't need a design, but i thought the colors and broken shapes lent themselves well to winged creatures.
when N was awake, we got out the trusty elmer's glue and tried the mosaic. um, fail. okay… if you have older kids (like kids who have the dexterity to peel the tiniest, most delicate stickers off of sticker paper with half-dried glue on their hands and not get frustrated, that's the age we're going for. fyi: even i am barely mature enough to tolerate this.)
fill the design with glue, and start putting down the tiny shell bits. try not to scream. i totally lost N within about two minutes of this, though she was my colorist and told me which colors to make the insects' body parts.
then she ran around a lot and drew on her magnadoodle, eventually revisiting to check on how i was doing.
she helped me to spread the remaining eggshells in our flowerbed when we were all finished.
all in all, i feel like this would be a great meditative exercise in patience for adults and older children, but hardly for toddlers. i thought i'd include it here, for those individuals. enjoy every little bit and piece!

Los Angeles based musician, Dave Brock, is well known around the globe as the Jim Morrison of The Doors Experience, "Wild Child" for over twenty five years. Brock has toured the country regularly to sell out crowds after his very first show in 1986 at the Whiskey a Go Go in LA.
On Saturday, August 16, 2014, Wild Child performed at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston to a full house of fans who came from all over the country. The Paradise has ONE of TWO analog 32 channel boards still used, the same genre as when THE DOORS played back in the 1960's. The band's keyboardist was also playing on a 1970's keyboard that you don't see too often.
During Brock's college years, Jim Morrison's sister Anna Morrison Graham and husband Allan Graham cast Brock to play Graham's brother in "The Jim Morrison Rock Opera" which gave him national publicity in Rolling Stone Magazine and the Los Angeles Times. It was shortly after this production ended that Brock put together his own band. Wild Child, celebrating the music of Morrison.
In the early 1990's Brock was approached again to play Morrison, this time in a film entitled, "Death Becomes Her."
The late Ray Manzarek, the Doors keyboardist along with Robby Kreiger, the Doors guitarist asked Brock to join them on the road, which he did for three years and was one of the biggest high lights of Brock's career thus far. Krieger wrote one of the Doors biggest hits, "Light My Fire" and it was the first song he ever wrote. He is currently touring with a new jazz band.
Here are some photos from their show.

I saw this quilt at Amanda Jean's site (And if you're a quilt lover, you must read her blog! It's terrific.) I decided to make a football-watchin'-favorite-team-rootin' quilt for Chris. He roots for both the Tennessee Volunteers and the Washington Redskins, so I was at a loss. Orange for the Vols or maroon for the Redskins. Ugh. I really need him to be a Dallas Cowboys fan. Blue and silver are a whole lot easier. Nobody who loves the Redskins is going to be down with rooting for the Cowboys, though, so I just chose the Vols, since orange looks cute with blue, and everything looks good with black, and surely I could come up with something orange, blue, and black that wouldn't be horrid, right? I couldn't find a pattern I liked, though, until I saw Amanda Jean's striped quilt. It seemed just the thing for making a football quilt as cute as possible, without being girly.
I found collegiate fabric by googling for it, ordered a yard of black and a yard of white, and then spent a few days finding good supporting fabrics. I bought what I thought would be the backing, then decided the quilt needed something else, so I found a great Alexander Henry black and white fabric at JoAnn's a couple of weeks later. Voila! Perfect. I pieced a long strip for the back, and then used both the orange and the black and white, and I think I love the back maybe even more than the front. I love happy endings like that.
Here it is, pieced and ready to be trimmed.
Finished. I cut the black Tennessee fabric in less-than-perfect lines, to give it an overall effect of motion. (Or, "I cut the black Tennessee fabric in less-than-perfect lines because I hate cutting and am not great at it." You decide; I'll never tell.)
The back is my favorite, although the
photographer's lack of skills photograph quality doesn't show it to its best. It's really nice in person. Trust me :) That's a 2" tall pieced strip running horizontally between the two fabrics, but it's hard to see in the photo.
I took a gamble and quilted it all in an orange Guterman thread, which ended up being a great idea since my sewing machine hated me the entire time and threw massive tantrums, resulting in me spending over an hour pulling threads. White would've been hard to see. Thursday I finished sewing down the binding by hand, threw it in the washer with some Shout grab-it sheets, and Caiden and I prayed out loud that it wouldn't run. It didn't, and when I gave it to Chris tonight, the orange thread was instantly noticed and appreciated. Hooray :)
It was so fun to give to him, because he was genuinely surprised and pleased that I'd made it for him, and he even mentioned passing it down to our sons someday. Forget flowers; complimenting my sewing is the quickest way to my heart. That and pretending he doesn't notice the size of my fabric stash.
And here's my favorite shot of it. It's late afternoon, with the sunset to my back, and taking the final photo means one thing:

X-box 360 technical query
I'm not familiar with Xbox 360 and recently got a hard drive off Amazon and it's causing the Xbox to crash upon boot up. I have no issues with anything other than the HD, but I don't know if it's a hardware problem or not.
All internet sources don't really address installation problems, but I heard that there was an internet download or process that could resolve any software problems. I have nothing on the drive at all, but it might have bad data on it. I'm also not connected to any PC or Xbox live.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
So are you talking about the official drive or an exotic that you rigged up to your 360?
Is it causing any red lights on the front of your 360?
If it's an official one I would call 1-800-MY-XBOX to report the problem and have them send you a new one.
-This is NOT the drive that came with the console. It is exotic. I have no problem with wiping any data on the drive if there is a solution that would result in that.
-Nope, not official. Can't get them to send a new drive and can't get a refund from the seller.
-I do get the red lights of death in the (1,4,1,4) light pattern... hardware dilemma.
-I'm really not that concerned if there is a problem with the hard drive... providing that replacing the 2.5 drive would make a difference. If that is the problem and not the casing for the X-box 360, then I will get a replacement. If there could just as likely be a software problem, I would like to ensure it is confirmed/solved before I buy another.
What brand is it? From what I'm seeing it looks like you must use a Western Digital Scorpio SATA BEVS HDD (LAT version).
You'll also need to grab a file (hddss.bin) off of an official xbox harddrive.
Full Instructions Here.
Or you can borrow, or just buy a new hard drive.
That's all I can offer, seeing as most of my 360 help comes from the console itself, sorry.
Is there any way to start up the box without having the HD attached and download the file via USB or something? I just don't know how, if the HD causes a crash upon startup, I can download the hddss.bin to the drive. It is not supposed to be attached while the xbox 360 is operating and doesn't have another means to store the data, is there?
PS: I appreciate your advice. I am very new to this (obviously) and someone threw both the instructions and packaging away. And the xbox site doesn't seem to have that much I find helpful.
There's a torrent of the hddss.bin file so you don't have to bother ripping one or creating your own. Just punch it into google.
Alright, I'm dense.
I have looked at a number of websites that address hddss.bin, but I see none that describe how I can access that drive other than removing the outer casing and attaching it to "your PC via SATA." Is it POSSIBLE to upload and format this without removing the HD from the casing at all? I was advised not to open it for risk of damaging internal components and don't even know if I can do this via Apple computer.
The hard drive causes the box to crash upon startup as well. Is there a means to bypass the drive in the startup process instead of having to remove the xbox hard drive from the case or with an Apple?

Battle of the Bands: A Rockin' Success
May 14, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Last Friday, M-A held its annual Battle of the Bands event where students have the opportunity to to play against one another in a casual night of lights and food with Lunatics as entertainment during breaks. The event had a large turnout of approximately 220 kids, many of which can be spotted by looking for the Battle of the Bands t-shirt.
The night saw six great bands perform, Funkdark, Sixplay, Clothing Optional, Blue Note Jazz Ensemble, Drive Thru Crew, and Fat Camp after Stone Golem had to cancel at the last minute. Nonetheless, the music was great and included multiple renditions of popular songs including Fountains of Wayne's "Stacy's Mom", Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", Chiddy Bang's "All Things Go", and lastly, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know."
During the night, puzzled students sought an explanation for the mic being cut off (profanity), Lunatics limitations (inappropriate), and a lack of audience voting (not allowed).
However fantastic all the bands were, there was one particular talent that left students begging for more, although that talk did not stop once the event was over. Junior Kira Lober, and member of Fat Camp, seduced the audience with her electric cello playing. Never before had a student introduced and beautifully played such an eccentric instrument that left the audience gaping, especially during their rendition of "All Things Go."
Battle of the Bands was a particular success, especially compared to previous years in terms of food, entertainment, t-shirt design, instrumental arrangement, and yes, the sound of the bands.

Combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 infection has resulted in profound control of HIV replication in vivo, improved immune function, and significant decreases in AIDS-related morbidity and mortality (1–9). For many persons, however, this therapy does not provide sustained viral suppression or durable clinical benefit (10–11). Potential reasons for the loss of viral suppression include host immune defects, poor adherence to therapy, pharmacologic factors, and drug resistance (10–17). However, HIV-1 resistance to drug therapy is probably the central factor in the loss of viral suppression (18–22).
