ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — For as long as he's played competitive football, Tyrod Taylor has never been on a losing team.
Taylor's Hampton High squads aimed to run the table every year. Virginia Tech reached double-digit win totals in all four seasons he was there. Even Taylor's worst year with the Baltimore Ravens as Joe Flacco's backup was only 8-8.
So enter Sunday's cold, windy season finale at Ralph Wilson Stadium, which the Bills entered with a 7-8 record. Their opponent, the New York Jets, had everything on the line — able to clinch a playoff berth with a victory.
Instead, Taylor's Bills handed the Jets a 22-17 upset, spoiling the Jets' season in their...

With March Madness whittling down to its Final Four (Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky and Wisconsin, for those just tuning in now), sports fans have moved from cheering on the success of their own brackets to rooting for their favorites of the quartet of teams remaining. Celebrities are no different. Though Louisville's own Jennifer Lawrence may be left without a team to root for, other members of the A-list have fared far luckier.

Tim Tebow Cut from New England Patriots

Tim Tebow hasn't given up hope of playing in the NFL after being cut by the New England Patriots.
"I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback," he Tweeted Saturday.
He has now been let go by his third team in 18 months. With the regular season just five days away, his chances of immediately catching on with another team seem slim.
Tebow thanked owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after failing to survive New England's mandatory roster cut to 53 players.
Tom Brady or Tim Tebow – Who Is Hotter on the Football Field?

They're buff, beautiful and now playing quarterback on the same NFL team.
With former University of Florida standout and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow joining the New England Patriots this week, hitting the mini-camp practice field for the first time Tuesday, he has tough shoes to fill but also adds to the Pats' hunk factor as he joins the lineup with superstar QB and glam dad Tom Brady.
Tebow, 25, who will wear No. 5 this season, has graced the cover of GQ magazine and attempted to make a go of it as an NFL quarterback, moving from the New York Jets where he struggled to fit in last season.

Actually I'll back off the roles in which they are using a particular caliber.
I know they use both 9mm and .40 Glocks as their primary issue, but I'm not confident in saying when/where.
I would have to choose 45mm over 10mm. With expansion you could potentially have a 2.75" hole.
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
To phrase the answer better I will explain it like this. THERE IS NO ANSWER! The variables of stopping a BG depend more on your ability to get good hits AND the BGs physiology, determination and blood chemistry (and a host of other factors).
To argue the minutia of one really good SD round against another is a total waste of breath. If you put a round in the BGs heart with either round then the BG is going to stop. How fast the BG stops is completely up to the BGs ability to fight pain, shock, his level of rage, his determination and possibly what type of drugs he is on.
The REAL question is this: What gun in a recognized SD caliber do you shoot best and have the most confidence in? <--The answer to that question is the answer to your original question. Because the gun you shoot best is going to be the one that stops the BG the fastest.
I American and I Ameriwill!
At best every test I've seen, including images from Doc Roberts indicates that you're going to create a permanent wound cavity of no bigger, and likely less than, 1" in diameter.
Bullets don't magically create holes 6 times their diameter no matter how full their expansion.
I'm guessing that's a joke. 45mm vs .45 Cal... 45mm is almost 1.8 inches, plus expansion.
For those that couldn't tell: I am only kidding and in no way was the joke directed at one particular person or group of people LOL
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
Obviously the 10mm! Because it is metric! Everyone knows metric is better. That is why the world is going metric!

I currently have the light version installed. Since updating - I'm having to clear the cache after every single post (or edits to posts also), or the posts won't show up on my site at all!
It's driving me nuts! Please help!
Please help! I do not want to delete this plug-in, but I'm not sure what else to do!
My readers are complaining that they not able to see my new posts on the Home Page / Front End of my site :(
@TheGG The Quick Cache plugin was recently split into two versions following a complete rewrite of the plugin. The free version of Quick Cache, available here on WordPress.org, doesn't clear the Home Page cache automatically when publishing or editing a post--you need to manually click the "Clear Cache" button to clear the Home Page cache.
I disagree with the way this works and I can absolutely sympathize with your frustration. It was not my decision to move this feature out of the free version and I disagree with how this currently works in Quick Cache Lite.
Since I'm now the primary developer for Quick Cache, I'm going to add a TODO for myself to add an option to the free version that allows you to automatically clear the cache when publishing or updating a post, so that you don't have to manually clear the cache each time.
I'll prioritize this and you should see this feature added in an upcoming maintenance release. Please follow this issue on GitHub for further updates: https://github.com/WebSharks/Quick-Cache/issues/40
@TheGG and #Raam Dev
Maybe there is a way to get an old version? Just for the timebeing?
@TheGG @vision452 The latest version of Quick Cache (v131224) now includes this feature:
New Lite Enhancement. The Home Page cache and Posts Page cache are now automatically purged when necessary (such as when a new post is published). See: https://github.com/WebSharks/Quick-Cache/issues/40
See also: http://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-cache/changelog/
@Raam Dev - THANK YOU so much! I really appreciate it! I won't be posting anything new on my site until after the new year, but I'll keep you posted! :)

When I want to search for a specific topic or thread on this forum I don't get filtered results: Therefore I cannot find answers to my questions: everytime I get hundreds of results that don't match my search.
While the search is not really perfect, but if you search only the forum you can get relatively good results.
May I ask what were you searching for?
I was searching for <div /> problems.
The reason is that when I write a log and do three or for enters for a larger piece of whitespace between the rules, the tiny MCe editor creates this <div /> codes and my blog is all getting messed up: the sidebar scrolls down all to the bottom of the page, underneath the last post and my header and footer get also out of place: they shift to the left and to the roght. Whne I remove these divs that tiny MCE created everything is fine.
I know that I should use the p-tags, but I wonder why the tinyMCE makes such a mistake.....
There are more questions and comments I have about the tinyMCe and using html-tags in general, there are lots of tags that the blog doesn't support, like <pre> f.e.
But first I want the search-function here clear so that I can get quick answers to my questions without having to post everything as new thread here....
TinyMC is a crazy creature - if you know your way around basic html, I'd recommend to kill it :)
<div /> is not a valid (=existing) tag, so not much chance to find anything about it. (It is something invented by tinymc)
Even if you use the wysiwyg thing, don't hit enter for "more space". It will never happen but as you figured out: it will mess up your blog. You can hit enter 100x times but the space will not increase. Try to live with it...
And a basic rule: if you use your own html tags - donb't put them in the wysiwyg (tinymc). It doesn't work. Disable it and you can use whatever fancy html tag you wish :)
EDIT. so that I can get quick answers
You are optimistic ;) Usually the answers are not coming quickly.
Thanks, I didn't read your answer until now, I am still trying to find out how I can receive an e-mail when somebody replies to my question, haven't found it yet.
But I figured out how to make extra empty lines when I write a post:
I simply use the p-tag and add: style="margin-bottom: 1or2or3etcCMorPXorwhateveryouwant"
That works just fine
Thanks for your help!

Am I correct in thinking that the only (serious) option for virtualisation on older servers/CPUs that don't support Intel's VT-X/AMD-V for hardware assisted virtualisation is VMware ESX Server which offers binary translation?
Specifically, there aren't any free solutions for older PowerEdge 1750 & 1850 servers? We have a couple of these which are currently idle because we can't virtualise them with XenServer. We could re-purpose them for a charity we work closely with but they cannot use our old ESX Server licenses.
I guess there might be an option to upgrade the CPUs but is that all that's needed for VT-X? Isn't there a motherboard/BIOS issue?

New York (AP) — It was a tough start to the week for many air travelers as federal budget cuts led to cascading delays along the East Coast Monday morning.
Some flights out of New York and Washington were delayed by more than two hours as the Federal Aviation Administration kept planes on the ground. The federal agency has said furloughs of air traffic controllers could lead to delays if there weren't enough people to monitor busy air corridors.
For instance, the 8 a.m. US Airways shuttle pushed back from the gate at Reagan National Airport six minutes early but didn't take off until 9:58 a.m. The plane landed at 10:48 a.m. — more than two and a half hours later than its scheduled time.
If travelers instead took Amtrak's 8 a.m. Acela Express train from Washington, they arrived in New York at 10:42 a.m. — 4 minutes early.
Government budget cuts that kicked in last month are forcing the FAA and other agencies to cut their spending. FAA officials have said they have no choice but to furlough all 47,000 agency employees, including nearly 15,000 controllers. Each employee will lose one day of work every other week. The FAA has said that planes will have to take off and land less frequently, so as not to overload the remaining controllers on duty.
Skies were mostly calm along the East Coast, with the exception of a few wind gusts in New York. The delays seen were much more severe than what would normally be seen on a comparable day with full staffing.
Delta Air Lines said it was "disappointed" in the furloughs and warned travelers Monday to expect delays in the following cities: New York, Philadelphia, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.
The flight tracking service FlightAware says flights heading to Florida are seeing delays of up to an hour.
Raymond Adams, president of the air traffic controllers union at New Jersey's Newark airport, said on Twitter than a few flights out of Newark to the south got sent back to Newark because the Washington area air traffic control system was overwhelmed.
Some groups are warning that the slowdown could hurt the economy.
"Our nation's economy and businesses will pay a very steep price that significantly outstrips savings produced by furloughs," the Global Business Travel Association warned the FAA in a letter Friday. "If these disruptions unfold as predicted, business travelers will stay home, severely impacting not only the travel industry but the economy overall."

In Diablo 3, (2.0) enemies now level with you, but does that include Paragon levels? are enemies getting more difficult with each Paragon level I gain? or do they only get more difficult by increasing the difficulty level after the normal level cap (60/70)
Enemies increase in difficulty only based on your main level (1-70) and then the difficulty you choose to play on (Normal - Torment 10, or Greater Rift level, or Easy - Master V on Consoles). The paragon levels you gain after hitting level 70 do not increase the power of monsters (they stay at the same difficulty as when you were level 70 without any paragon levels).
There are a lot of threads to this topic in the official forums.
Even if none of these has a blue answer, they all say the same: Game difficulty is only determined by character level and not affected by paragon level.
Also in my opinion it would not make much sense to implement it different. Imagine you are paragon 400 and create a level 1 character: Should be game really be 400 times harder than for a paragon 1 account?
I am not sure Paragon leveling doesn't scale the mosters. Playing on Torment VI with my Paragon around 100, I usually encountered the blues at some 300+M of hp - but now, as I am nearing Paragon Level 300, the blues are ALWAYS around 500M. The yellows used to be at some 600M-700M - now they are at 1B+.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) - Six-foot waves from Hurricane Alex have damaged a new, $4.6 million system meant to prevent oil from flowing into Perdido Bay.
The structure is composed of more than 3,000 feet of long steel pipes that are strung together in Perdido Pass between dozens of pilings in Orange Beach.
But the city's coastal resources manager, Phillip West, said Thursday about 800 feet of the protective system began coming apart when thick bolts started shearing off in heavy seas. Workers took apart other sections to prevent further damage to the system, which wasn't yet finished.
West says the steel booms should be back in place with thicker bolts by Saturday. He says not much additional oil entered the bay because of the failure.

My two choices are these: Adalyn Elizabeth and Mckenzie (no middle name yet). I was thinking Ryan as a middle name, to honor my SO. I am looking for something unique, but not too crazy! Open to suggestions and honest opinions on the names I have chosen.

My honest opinion is that neither of these names are unique, at all. McKenzie, spelled various ways, has been very popular since the 90s. Adalyn and various other names that have the nn 'Addie' are trending right now. Of the two, I'd go with Adalyn. But if you truly want unique/uncommon, keep looking.

I like the name adalyn. But don't like middle name Elizabeth. Too plain. My name is McKenzie and my middle name is Grace Elizabeth. I've never really met that many other McKenzies. I'm the only one I know spelt that way. But there also was a girl in my grade spelt Mackenzie. And I met another Mackenzie but he was a boy.

Thank you for the feedback and sorry I am so late to respond. I'm liking mckenzie over Adalyn at this point. Another favorite is Tessa. Still looking...
Posted 02/11/2013
I like mckenzie best but don't like it with Elizabeth . What about mckenzie adalyn? Then you could use both, and they sound nice together!

University of Otago scientists have helped come up with an
ingenious way to help identify whether milk powder being sold
as a New Zealand-made in overseas markets is in fact from
this country.
This comes as New Zealand exports about $2 billion of milk
products to China each year, and amid a recent rise in
imitation and sometimes dangerous dairy products in China.
The work by researchers at Otago University and GNS Science
showed information on where milk was produced could be gained
through testing milk powder - which could help identify if a
product suspected of being fake was actually from New
The scientists made use of the fact New Zealand's rain had a
distinctive natural isotope signature that passed through
pasture and into milk products.
Otago University Associate Prof Russell Frew said the
technique opened the possibility of verifying the origin of
the milk component of mixtures such as infant formula.
Products such as butter and cheese could also be ideal
applications for the technique.
Dr Troy Baisden, of GNS Science, said the process was made
possible by having the ability to look at the hydrogen
isotopes in rain from each storm during the season when milk
was produced.
"We work with monthly rainfall samples from all over New
"We turn information derived from these samples into a map of
daily rainfall chemistry using climate data from Niwa," Dr
Baisden said.
The project to collect rain samples from all over the country
was funded by the Government, the samples analysed at Otago
University and the maps made at GNS Science.
Otago University PhD student Emad Ehtesham carried out
analyses of the milk powder and was able to narrow down the
origin of the products to either the North or South Island.
Otago University analytical forensic science programme
director Associate Prof Jurian Hoogewerff said the technique
could help protect New Zealand's agricultural brand.
"In general, New Zealand is very dependent on food exports,
so there is an urgent need to protect New Zealand Inc from
any major food scandals."

I've got a website where I use NextGEN plugin for the gallery. I want to know how to change the order of the slideshow images, like the latest uploaded image should be displayed first and the old image to display last. Is there any way to do this, like is there any settings in the back-end or do I have to change code.
Urgent help needed please.
Thanks in advance.

We have a database server accessing a disk array. (Array supports only a single host connection)
Should that server suffer a hardware failure, we'd like to connect up a standby server to take its place.
So in the event of a bad hardware failure, I won't be able to unmount the filesystems, vgchange –an, and vgexport the volume groups.
Can I expect a vgscan and vgimport to work on the new server if I wasn't able to run vgexport? Any other data I would need to make this work?
I know in HP-UX you were able to run a vgexport in output mode only, and give it a map file and you could then import using this map file in this scenario.

I have personally read all the 15 reviews on file and could not agree more with all the positive remarks
given to Rod Martin and Associates. In March 2010 Rod Martin's firm filed Chapter 13 for both my wife
and me. To say that was a difficult decision is an understatement. But Mr. Martin and his staff carefully counseled and guided us through the process with the utmost clarity. The dedication, devotion and responsiveness afforded us in handling any and all issues that arose during the past five years was superb. Thanks to Rod and paralegal Sheila Quay my wife and I are about to exit Chapter 13 bankruptcy
this month ( March 2015 ) with a much needed breath fresh air and new start. Many many thanks to Rod Martin and Associates for always being there for us and making the success of this trip possible !!!
We sincerely and highly recommend this firm in handling your financial situations.

Roderick Martin's name was given to me by a dear friend. She told me that he could handle my case in a professional and timely manner. I was scared going into Bankruptcy, but Rod kept me informed and set my mind at ease. Any questions I had were handle quickly by he or his staff. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has to go through such a stressful event.

Everyone was so helpful and professional, the response time for all correspondence was quick. Everyone was courteous and I would highly recommend this law firm to everyone! Thank you Rod and staff for taking care and completing a stressful time of my life!

While I'm in favor of any great idea that might improve the quality of a screenplay -- or movies as a whole -- I am conflicted about what this means for the future of Hollywood... and humankind.
I vehemently believe that Detroit is a place and time where we can come together to design our collective outcomes. It is indeed the opportunity of a generation and it will take everyone, incoming and resident, black and white, young and old to harness it.
It will end up being a woman who saves the world from destruction in Game of Thrones. And if I were a betting man, I'd say that it will be a woman, or women, who too will save our world from destruction.

The Tunisian Harlem Shake incident comes on the verge of an unprecedented political crisis in this country.
If you still have not heard of the Harlem Shake you must be living in a cave. Much has been written about the rapid and global spread of this catchy internet meme, yet little is understood about how it spread.
There are only two rules for the Harlem Shake: 1) one person dances around, ignored, usually with a funny mask on, for 15 seconds followed by 2) chaos. No rules. A dense comic book page teeming with vignettes, or people repetitively doing one very random, spasmodic motion.

Youth Olympian and 19-year-old Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke won the hearts of the Internet this summer after a video of her sexy warmups went viral. Now that she's arrived in Los Angeles, the athlete behind the meme also proved bust a move to the Internet's other favorite dances.

We were here when it wasn't busy so had plenty of room. Site not very level. Manager had gone home but someone else checked us in and she was very pleasant and helpful. We parked near the office and Wi-Fi worked well for us. Quiet enough and have only heard 1 train, so far. You can see Mt Shasta through the trees. Would probably stay here again. - Thedogsma
Aug 2013 - $29.00
This is nothing but a gravel lot with utilities. Sites are long but VERY close together. Don't try to make reservations because you will NEVER get a call back. That's just rude. How can you run a business like that? When we got there the office was closed - naturally so we picked a spot. The map of the facilities is drawn on a white board and not very specific. The information provided in an outside box had a Mt. Shasta map that was unreadable, NO information on the park (like a map) and the TV listing was wrong. What a terrible way to run an business. We would not recommend this park and will not return. - Ruffella
Jul 2013 - $27.00
My high ranking is because this is a very nice spot to be and everything works. Power, water and sewer, all good. Spot big enough for our 42' plus tow. Park is located in a pine forest. People operating the park are friendly and helpful. Rate is reasonable. This is not a big fancy deluxe park, but a nicely situated comfortable one. Quiet too. - RFCN2

Great location in the large pine trees. Full hookups in most sites and you are in the forest. Some sites are set up a little different with fire pit and table on driver side of unit, so you have to walk around your trailer to get to them. Great marina with boat rentals very reasonably priced. General store on site has most basic essentials. Full restaurant on site. Big portions but priced at regular restaurant prices, which is ok since your about 5 minute drive from town. The best is the beach. Sitting on the sand and looking at the beautiful Mt. Shasta across the lake. Large water structures for kids to climb on in the lake. $8 for 1 hour or $15 for 4 hours to use. Must be 6 years old to use with life jacket, and under 6 can use with adult supervision. Great fishing since the lake receives extra fish throughout the summer from the fish hatchery down the road. Boating is limited to 10mph so no ski boats. There are also cabin and single wide trailers for rent. Daily outdoor movie nights. Laundry facilities. All in all highly recommend. We love it here. - Greygoose1
Jun 2016 - $44.00
Very good family park. Huge amount of space. Fire rings every camp with a ton of smoke if that bothers you. Gorgeous views, lots of hiking, lake with water toys to rent. Not real level but was able to adjust. Dirt and dust is the order of the day. - Kirt
Jun 2016 - $38.00
We had stayed here 2 years ago for just a couple of nights and wanted to come back again. My initial impression this time was a bit negative, rates increased as of May 23rd from $29/night to $35/night and that wasn't communicated until you checked in. Given that we arrived on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, we didn't have much of a choice but to pay the difference, not exactly an easy time to find anywhere new to stay. Our site was a bit tricky to get into due to a very narrow road, but we were able to back in, backing in on a road going the wrong direction. No one seemed to mind or object. Our site was also the closest to the store / restaurant and could be a bit noisy at times, but during the week was very pleasant.
I think the other loop for RV's that is closer to the boat ramp would be much easier to get a large rig into, the loop closest to the store and restaurant offers FHU but is very tight to get into and out of. We have a 38 ft 5th wheel.
Not sure if we'll stay here again, the 20% rate increase a week before our stay with no warning was a bit aggravating. Yes, they say rates can change at any time but we felt like it was a bait and switch, wait until 6 days before we arrive, right before a holiday weekend and then raise the rates even though we had only made our reservation 5 weeks ahead of time. I'm sure they knew by then they would be raising rates. - DRFink

Disappointed in this KOA. Campground has a lot of potential but really needs some money spent on the roads and sites....could be an excellent campground and great location. Had to choose between 50 amp or cable television with our full hookups, why not both options. Felt sorry for the tent campers, no hot water in bathrooms for the four days we were there. Only cold water in laundry too. Glad we had our own self contained unit or our stay would have been shortened. Staff were friendly but that was the only saving grace. - Dedra C

With trains blowing their horns all night long we'll never stay here again. Dirt pads were messy. Hard to maneuver around trees and cement picnic tables. - CIAforHim
Jun 2015 - $36.00
We liked this KOA even though it's roads & sites are gravel/dirt, which caused things to get a little dusty. We loved the oak, cedar & pine trees throughout the park. The park also has a small store, outdoor swimming pool and playground area. We did not walk into the "Kamp Kabins" but they looked very nice on the outside and several were occupied over the weekend we stayed there. Our site, 31, had trees on each side which provided nice shade. Each site has a grassy area and a picnic table. You can request a portable fire pit, which we did & burned manufactured logs in. The tree squirrels & blue jays provided us entertainment. We will stay here again. - 2RVCats

Perfect park for an overnight or an extended stay. Staff is present and visible, mix of overnighters and permanent residents. It was very quiet, friendly staff and residents and the hookups were brand new at my site. When I left the manager called my mobile phone and informed me that my antenna was up! Great service! - Kingjosh

Nice little park close to I5. We stayed for 5 days in site A. Nice view across road of mountains. Quite pastoral. Not much noise from I5 down at the lower level of the park. Manager very nice and helpful. We had Full hookups with 50 amp and cable. Also wifi which got a little spotty at prime times. Would stay here again when passing through Mount Shasta. - Rose Kirkwood

This is a combo mobile home and RV park, although most of the RVs seem to be here for a long term stay. Both types of units are either fairly new or are reasonably well maintained. This park is OK, but it certainly isn't spectacular. The staff is friendly and helpful, the baths aren't squeaky clean but they are OK, but the laundry room is a "pit". However, there are beautiful trees here. - cactuslady

Checked in & was escorted to our site. This park has a million dollar view of Mt Shasta. WOW! It's a small, well run, clean, friendly campground. We will be back! Lot spacing was spacious with some shade. Site surface was asphalt and featured a picnic table. - RV-NCcamping

Our stay was somewhat tempered because we were assigned to a site where my air levelers would not level (excessive slope). That meant no slides out for the night. Quite a few extended stays at the back of the park. Was not bothered by Pilot Station or train. Nice grounds with plenty of trees and shade. No satellite at our site. We would stay here again if we could get a more level site. - Cc rambler

A blm campground - i.e. beautiful surroundings, sparse amenities, and free during the summer months. Camped in a 40' class A with toad down by the lake. There are sites back in the trees, but not large enough for our rig. Plenty of space near the lake and these have a best view. There is a fresh water spigot and pit toilet located back in the trees section. Great outdoors experience - quiet and very scenic. Night skies and star gazing were awesome. Lake water level was down when we were there (June 2015), but it wasn't an ugly sight. Local law officer patrolled about every other day just to check on things. We were the only steady visitor during our 6 day visit - very few seemed to camp here at this time of year. Mid-days were somewhat hot, so had to run the generator and A/C. Just be prepared for rustic camping when you come here. Bring your camera and binoculars and be prepared for some great afternoon naps under a shade tree. Be careful of the trees (evergreens) they do drop sap - I had to clean our dog and awnings before leaving. There is a Pilot south of Weed for fuel and a dump station ($8). - MarksOnTheRoad

Wonderful park in the tall trees with the best hosts. We've stayed here 3 times and absolutely love it here. While it doesn't have a lot of amenities, you are surrounded by wonderful, tall trees and you get the best customer service the hosts. The bathrooms and showers are clean and we would always choose to stay here on the way up to OR or back home. - San Yun

We stay here at least twice a year on our trips to/from the north coast. The owners are always friendly and helpful. Shady spots are available. The shower/restroom is basic and always clean. The hookups are well maintained and nicely situated. You can hear the nearby traffic on I-5, but once we batten down for the night, we sleep without it bothering us. Downtown Weed is not far off, with plenty of gas stations, etc. Easy freeway on/off. - Washoezephyr

We were only here one night, which was probably good. I-5 is a stone's throw away, and the truck traffic is fairly noisy. If you happen to wear earplugs at night, the noise won't bother you. The pull through sites are a bit close together, but some of the others looked quite nice with grass and trees. - Boonville Jim

Like mazes? Like overgrown trees? Like hookups that are upfront? Then you will like this park. You have to wind your way around big trees to get to your site. We had to disconnect our toad to get out of our pullthru site. No lights thruout park. It's DARK!! Being in the woods, wouldn't go out in the trees after dark.. Very tight turns for a 40 ft mh with a toad. Won't be back to this park. Our site had broken tar so our toad wheels hung over edge. - Bluebird Bob

This is a real campground, not a "resort." Lots of trees, nearby creek where a few back-in sites are located; most sites are irregularly positioned w/ ample space between. Some tenters. Quiet (1/2 mi from freeway). Bathhouse is old, small & rustic but pretty clean. Camp hosts very helpful. - Taco stand

Lovely rustic park. All site are surrounded by trees. Near Castle Crags SP (no direct access to the SP). A must for train lovers! The on site restaurant is fun, I'd say the food was average. There is a pool, but it's not available to RV guests (only "hotel" guests). Staff was friendly, but didn't know much about the area (a friend temporally filling in?). We would stay here again. - RVBeast

This is a very strange campground. It was in a beautiful location but the sites were placed very oddly and close together. All the sites were grassy. Our particular site was a back in with the hook-ups on the wrong side. The sewer was located just outside our front door of our 5th wheel so we didn't hook it up until just before leaving to dump. The campground is handy to Shasta City and has views of Mt. Shasta. The staff was less than helpful. Bathrooms were OK. We were here 4 nights. - CO 5th wheeler

This is a nice park. Almost all sites are lawns that are well taken care of. We arrived July 3rd, so the campground was very full. Restroom maintenance was stretched to the max, unfortunately the maintenance did not get a lot better after 3/4 of the sites were empty. We had an issue when we pitched a tent for our 17 year old grandson, the next morning the campground host came by and told us to take down the tent. We asked why and she told us it was against the park rules. We had researched this campground through this site, their web page and Good Sam, at no point did we get the impression tents were not allowed on our site. When we asked the host about this, she said "Well, I guess we have to write EVERYTHING down". This did disrupt out trip. The sites are very tight. Water pressure in the men's shower was very low all four days. It is quiet at night and most of the day. The tent issue and narrow sites were the main drawbacks. This is a pretty campground. We may be back. - retired fireman

VERY loud campground - right next to I-5. Campground is rustic, treed, and pretty. But the overpowering road noise obliterates ANY sense of peace or tranquility of being in the forest. If the road noise was less, the rating would be higher. Interior road are very narrow. Spaces are very short, tight, and narrow. They say they take trailers 21-27 ft and they aren't kidding ! We struggled to get our 26 ft 5er in a spot. No hook ups, water spigots dispersed. Do have flush toilets and showers. If not for the pounding road noise this would be awfully close to a 10 . We will never return here. We were the only RV. Everyone else was in a tent. The host was in a 17 ft class B. Do not recommend bringing a bigger rig in here than about 25 ft. - theresal58

I could not find an option to avoid this behaviour, am I missing something or there's an easy way to solve this little annoyance?

There has been much attention, and rightly so, on the CIA's extensive use of torture, which the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is said to have documented in its still-classified 6,000-page report. The use of torture is not limited to the CIA, however. It is all too common across the United States. Solitary confinement is torture, and it is used routinely in jails, prisons and immigration detention facilities here at home. Grass-roots movements that have been pressuring for change are beginning to yield significant results.
The state of Oklahoma tortured a man to death last week. On Tuesday, April 29, Clayton Lockett was strapped to a gurney in the state's execution chamber. At 6:23 p.m., before a room of witnesses that included 12 members of the media, the first of three drugs was injected into his veins. Ziva Branstetter, enterprise editor at Tulsa World, was among the reporters who watched. She later reported Lockett's ordeal, minute by minute:
"6:29 p.m. Lockett's eyes are closed and his mouth is open slightly.
Another U.S. shooting spree has left bullet-riddled bodies in its wake, and refocused attention on violent, right-wing extremists. Frazier Glenn Miller, a former leader of a wing of the Ku Klux Klan, is accused of killing three people outside two Jewish community centers outside Kansas City. As he was hauled away in a police car, he shouted "Heil Hitler!" Unlike Islamic groups that U.S. agencies spend tens of billions of dollars targeting, domestic white supremacist groups enjoy relative freedom to spew their hatred and promote racist ideology.
Journalism is not a crime. This is the rallying cry in demanding the release of four Al-Jazeera journalists imprisoned in Egypt. Three of them — Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed — have just passed their 110th day of incarceration. The fourth, Abdullah al-Shami, has been in jail for more than six months. They have been charged with "spreading lies harmful to state security and joining a terrorist organization." Of course, the only thing they were doing was their job.
The majority of the world is convinced that humans are changing the climate, for the worse. Now, evidence is mounting that paints just how grim a future we are making for ourselves and the planet. We will experience more extreme weather events, including hurricanes and droughts, mass extinctions and severe food shortages globally. The world's leading group of climate-change experts, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has issued its most recent report after a five-day meeting last week in Yokohama, Japan.
Just days into his presidency Barack Obama wrote, "My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government."
"Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government." Now, six years into the Obama administration, his promise of "a new era of open Government" seems just another grand promise, cynically broken.
Marshall "Eddie" Conway walked free from prison this week, just one month shy of 44 years behind bars. He was convicted of the April 1970 killing of a Baltimore police officer. Conway has always maintained his innocence. At the time of his arrest and trial, he was a prominent member of the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party, the militant black-rights organization that was the principal focus of COINTELPRO, the FBI's illegal "counterintelligence program." The FBI, under the leadership of J.
The world lost a visionary activist this week, with the death of Chokwe Lumumba, the newly elected mayor of Jackson, Miss. Lumumba died unexpectedly at the age of 66 of an apparent heart attack. Last June, he won the mayoral race in this capital of Mississippi, a city steeped in the history of racism and violence. He was a champion of human rights, a pioneering radical attorney, a proud Black Nationalist and a dedicated public servant. While his friends, family and allies mourn his death, there is much in his life to celebrate.
Comcast has announced it intends to merge with Time Warner Cable, joining together the largest and second-largest cable and broadband providers in the country. The merger must be approved by both the Justice Department and the FCC. Given the financial and political power of Comcast, and the Obama administration's miserable record of protecting the public interest, the time to speak out and organize is now.
"I found myself standing in front of railroad tracks in South Florida. I was waiting on the train to come so I could jump in front of it and end my life." So recounted Desmond Meade, describing his life nine years ago. He was homeless, unemployed, recently released from prison and addicted to drugs and alcohol. The train never came. He crossed the tracks and checked himself into a substance-abuse program. He went on to college, and now is just months away from receiving his law degree.
The Sochi Olympic Games are rightly highlighting the constellation of abuses that have become standard in Russia under Vladimir Putin. Most notably is intense, often violent homophobia, tacitly endorsed by the government with the recent passage of the law against "gay propaganda." While Sochi shines a light on Russian human-rights violations, it affords an opportunity to expose the rampant corruption and abuse that accompanies the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The oil well spewing in the Gulf of Mexico could contain as much as 1 billion barrels of oil and could keep flowing for more than a decade, the Times of London reported.
The Macondo oil well could be one of the largest oil discoveries in the world.
Special Section: Disaster in the Gulf
Rick Mueller, an oil industry expert at Energy Security Analysis, in Massachusetts, said that the well's powerful flow rate, which has been estimated by the government at up to 60,000 barrels a day and shows no sign of slowing down, suggested that the well could be far bigger than previously thought, the Times reported.
BP previously estimated that the field contained 50 million to 100 million barrels of oil.
A company spokesman told the Times that BP engineers had been unable to determine the size of the field because they had not completed the relevant tests before the explosion on April 20.
The Times wrote that if the Macondo field is larger than BP initially claimed it could have a dual significance for the company. The well could keep flowing at a rapid rate for many months or years, but it could also be highly valuable in the long term. However, BP is unlikely to return to the well for a number of years. The company is set to begin selling assets to help fund the $20 billion escrow account it agreed to set up for compensating victims.

While I was visiting my friend in Arizona, she had me help her make Sopaipillas. I loved them! They're mexican, but sold in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and other states near Mexico. You can literally point to the mountains at the back of her house and say "There's Mexico!" Mexican fried breads. Golden fried puffs, usually served with butter or honey for dessert. You can also try them with cinnamon and sugar.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 3⁄4 cup warm water
- oil, for deep-frying
- honey (optional)
- butter (optional)
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder.
- Cut in shortening with 2 knives (or you can use your fingers) until mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in warm water until all ingredients are moist.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover dough with plastic wrap or a dry towel.
- Let rest at least 30 minutes. For later use, dough may be placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated 24 hours.
- Cut dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a saucepan or deep fryer (I prefer to just use the counter).
- Heat to 400 degrees F (205 C). Carefully drop dough squares 1 at a time into hot oil.
- Cook until puffed and golden brown, turning once. If sopaipillas do not puff immediately, oil is not hot engouh. Drain cooked sopaipillas on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with honey. Makes 35-40.
- You can also roll dough into circles and cut them in half, or watever shape you'd like.
Most Helpful
These were really good! I made half a batch. I had to just a tad bit of extra water to the dough beacuse it was a little dry. I shook a bunch of cinammon and sugar over them while hot and drizzled some yummy honey over them.

Can't realize how to remove the booting image from RHEV ISO storage, can't find anything to perform such trivial operation.. what a shame.. In RHEV Manager I can only see a list of available images in "Store" tab.
The only current option is to access the ISO domain directly. You can go there using ssh, or
The ISOs are at /path/to/nfsmount/SDUUID/images/1111-1111-....111/
Where SDUUID is the UUID of the ISO storage domain (easy enough to find, but if in doubt, look at the API webpage)
Take care to make sure no VMs have the ISO you are removing attached. File deletion will fail if the VMs are up, but if they are not, and you remove the file, the VMs will fail to start up next time, so you'll have to go into VM settings and detach the missing ISO

Weaving our kayaks among slabs of ice that cluttered the Connecticut River the other day, Ian Frenkel and I steered east toward Nott Island just off Essex, and hadn't paddled more than 15 minutes when a shadow swept over us. I looked up in time to see a giant raptor with a 6-foot wingspan.
"There's one!" I cried ... "And another! Look! A third at 2 o'clock!"
Birdwatchers in southeastern Connecticut have enjoyed at least one redeeming benefit from this winter's relentless frigidity: an abundance of eagles that fly here from Maine, Canada and points north to fish in open water near the mouth of the river.
"This has been a really healthy year," said Bill Yule, educator/naturalist with the Connecticut River Museum in Essex, when I called him later.
The extreme cold not only has driven the ice farther south, thereby confining eagles to the lower river valley, it also killed off thousands of striped bass in Old Lyme's Black Hall River, a Connecticut River tributary, drawing an even greater concentration of
the avian fish-eaters, Yule explained.
This year Yule, who has been leading eagle-watching tours for more than a decade, has seen as many as 35 birds in a day's outing, about a dozen more than in past years' spotting excursions. He estimated about 50 subadult and 8-10 adult eagles have been spending this winter between the mouth of the river at Long Island Sound and Hamburg Cove in Lyme — though some are beginning to fly back north now.
During a couple hours of paddling covering about 8 miles, during which Ian and I poked into the mostly frozen-over Hamburg Cove, and continued north almost to Selden Island, we spotted at least a dozen eagles, along with assorted winter ducks, Canada geese, swans and other more common species.
On the northeast tip of Nott Island, one pair of eagles perched high on a nest overlooking the river. Yule said eagles have been using this same nest for the past five years, noting that 25-30 chicks have been hatched there.
So far this year there doesn't appear to be eggs in the nest, but there's till time, he said.
You don't have to paddle a kayak to observe eagles. The museum provides a list of numerous viewing sites from land, and also conducts eagle watch excursions by power boat, as does Eagle Landing State Park in Haddam.
At 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, March 15-16, the museum, through a partnership with Project Oceanology in Groton, offers its final boat tours of the season. More information about the tours and other museum programs is available at www.ctrivermuseum.org.
It's wonderful that people have opportunities to view these magnificent birds, our national symbol.
Eagle-watching by kayak requires some effort and cold-weather gear but provides ample rewards. The river can get windy and you have to keep your wits about
you when paddling among ice, but there are fewer sights more thrilling than watching an eagle take flight. I make it a practice, though, as I do with all wildlife, to avoid approaching too closely, lingering or otherwise disturbing the birds.
The public launch adjacent to the museum at the end of Main Street in Essex is an ideal place to launch a kayak; now that the ice is finally breaking up you can also put your boat in the water farther north at Eagle Landing State Park in Haddam, or across the river at launch sites off Ely Ferry Road in Lyme or at the Hadlyme ferry landing.
Though most of the eagles will be back north in a few weeks, some will
remain longer, especially if the nesting birds lay eggs.
Closer to New London, there also are eagles nesting along the Thames River near Poquetanuck Cove in Ledyard and at the Groton Reservoir. The birds also show up occasionally at other ponds and lakes in the region, but without question the lower Connecticut River is the eagle capital of southeastern Connecticut.
Soon enough we'll also be seeing osprey, great blue herons, egrets and other shore birds – if this winter ever ends.
