Jerry Conner, the gentle face under the baseball cap, won't be serving Amarillo any more of his "famous" barbecue.
Wednesday was his last day taking orders, slicing beef and dishing out good cheer.
No more nice smile as he peers out from beneath the black menu board. No more, "What can I do for ya?" or "What'll ya have?" No more, "We appreciate ya," when a customer leaves.
Conner's restaurant, Jerry's Famous Pit-Barbecue at 900 S. Tyler St., has become a lunchtime legend for downtown workers in Amarillo. The atmosphere was down- home, and the food was downright good.
After 40 years of making his mouth-watering barbecue sauce and ribs, Conner decided to pass on the restaurant to his daughter and son-in-law, Janet and Glen White. But before he left, he once again showed Amarillo his good heart by buying everybody's lunch Wednesday.
"Lunch is on Jerry, today," the cashier said.
Conner's first day of retirement is today. Although it will be business as usual at the restaurant, Conner said reassuringly, something will be missing.
Jerry, on behalf of thousands of downtown workers, it's safe to say, "We appreciate ya."

Watch A Journalist Lose It In A Viper ACR
That the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is an amazing, track-ready and –focused machine is not very noteworthy. The Viper's performance cred stands out in a club's parking lot like a lion among the wildebeests.
That the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is an amazing, track-ready and –focused machine is not very noteworthy. The Viper's performance cred stands out in a club's parking lot like a lion among the wildebeests.
I'm not a "car guy." That may sound odd coming from someone who has been racing cars for 23 years, but it's true and I thought it would be a good place to start a story about what I think of the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR. I consider myself a racer, and there is a difference.
The Dodge Viper ACR is a last hurrah before a more luxurious, possibly Alfa-based future. Here it gets the full Bonneville. [Kurt Niebuhr for InsideLine via iamrodnunez]
We first caught Top Gear USA shooting Hyundais in California. Now they've been spotted in Georgia filming a Dodge Viper trying to outrun a Cobra... attack helicopter. Maybe there's hope for Top Gear USA after all. Photos and video below.
Dodge unveiled two limited-production Viper ACRs at L.A.. One is designed to commemorate the car's recent record-breaking lap of Laguna Seca; the other is just there to remind you that the Viper has a bigger pants bulge than you do.
According track-side sources, the 2010 Dodge Viper ACR has set a new unofficial lap record at Laguna Seca of 1:33.944 as the final year production cars make their debut. At least they're going out with a bang.
The hollow composite wing on the Dodge Viper ACR is made of only four layers of carbon fiber top and bottom, but, as this press photo demonstrates, it ain't no Pep Boys special. [Composite World]
Those sneaky three-headed dogs at Chrysler have slipped the 2009 Dodge Viper ACR out of the gate with a little bit more horsepower than originally advertised. That's if you consider 42 more horses "a little."
In an indisputable victory for technology over brute force, this video shows the Nissan GT-R laying down a seriously impressive 11.12 second 1/4 mile time, easily outpacing a Dodge Viper ACR.
It's a track car! No, it's street legal! Wait, it's both — it's the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR and it'll be making its debut in just under a week at the LA Auto Show. We were going to wait until midnight tonight to show off the lighter Viper package — a package not seen for the Viper since 1999. Seriously, we were…

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Aboard the CBR mothership, Alex Dueben talks to Black Hole author Charles Burns about his new book X'ed Out, in stores this week from Pantheon. And by the sound of it, the book — the first in a trilogy — is thoroughly indebted to Belgian comics master Hergé's timeless Tintin tales, from the cover to the coloring to the format itself:
There's certainly a very strong Herge influence. If you just think of the Franco-Belgian style of creating comic albums in that format, the way those European make them which is the 64 pages, 48 pages. A hardbound albums with continuing characters. I was one of those rare kids of my generation who grew up reading Tintin and it had a very profound effect on me, so this is the way that I can kind of reflect on that and play with some of those ideas.
"Black Hole" was always conceived of as being a book that would be all collected together. I'm not conceiving of this as, "Here's three books that will eventually be collected into one book." When I get interviewed by the French and Belgian press, I won't be answering this question, because it's a different tradition. I'm kind of emulating that tradition by doing a series of books in this manner. For example, when I was doing a signing in Southern France, there was someone who came up to me and who explained that he was really hesitant to buy "Black Hole" for a long time because it just seemed too foreign to him, this idea of this big volume. He wasn't used to that idea of the graphic novel format, whereas now, it's really been assimilated over there and popular over there as well. Here, the questions I get asked are, "Gee, this seems like a really slender volume for a graphic novel." It's not trying to pass itself off as a big graphic novel. It's a different style of storytelling.
Unfortunately, Hergé passed away before he could ever release a graphic album in which he processed the influence of Charles Burns. Too bad — I would have liked to have seen Captain Haddock grow a small but strangely erotic vestigial tail.
I really enjoyed when Charles Burns did the 'Big Baby' comics. i would have bought them monthly alast was not to be.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-10-05/Sockpuppet scandal
Law affair
This week saw scandal erupting around the Arbitration Committee after administrator Law was revealed to be a sockpuppet of the_undertow—a sockpuppet apparently operated with the knowledge of numerous administrators and of at least one member of the Committee.
Arbitration requested
Administrator Sandstein had, on 20 September, filed a request for arbitration regarding Law's unblock of ChildofMidnight, whom Sandstein had blocked under the provisions of the Obama articles arbitration decision. At first, there was no indication that the case was anything more than a routine dispute between two administrators—albeit not a particularly complex one, as the Arbitration Committee appeared to be moving towards dealing with the matter by a summary motion instead of a full case.On 30 September, however, the case suddenly took a bizarre turn, as arbitrator Risker blocked Law indefinitely and posted a motion that stated:
By the end of the day, ten arbitrators had voted in favor of the motion.
The Arbitration Committee has been informed that Law (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is an alternate account of The undertow (talk · contribs), and this has been confirmed with the user involved. User:Law has now resigned his administrator tools.[1] At the time that the User:Law account was created, User:The undertow was subject to an Arbitration Committee ban.
The Arbitration Committee notes the resignation of administrator tools by Law (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), and further notes that this resignation is under controversial circumstances. The user is restricted to one account, The undertow (talk · contribs). He is required to notify the Arbitration Committee in advance should he wish to change usernames or create a new account, in accordance with Arbitration Committee enforcement procedures initiated in June 2009.
Casliber resignsShortly before midnight on 30 September, arbitrator Casliber posted a statement to the Committee's noticeboard, admitting that he knew of Law's previous identity and apologizing to the community. Casliber wrote:
I did know that Law was the undertow for several months...
I first got to know the Undertow before the time which saw his editing privileges revoked for 9 months. He was having a rough patch and I talked to him a few times and he picked up and felt better afterwards and was very grateful. I didn't hear from him for some time until he popped up and told me about the Law account. He told me that the issues which had resulted in the ban had been settled.
After this, I tried to persuade him several times to come clean which he deliberated on (as I figured this was the least dramatic way of dealing with the issue). He was at several stages going to retire the Law account, frequently enough for me to desist from pursuing it (combined with a large number of arb-related, wikipedia-related and RL-related issues keeping me very busy). I became aware of the successful RfA and was unhappy about it, and continued talking to him off and on about how to come clean. For the most part, his editing has been very productive. Once the issue with the unblock of Sandstein's block of ChildofMidnight arose, I realised I was put in a spot and confessed to the committee a day ago, after the committee became alerted to the identities by another incident.
Yes, this was a bad decision on my part and I apologise...
Early the next day, Casliber resigned from the Committee—a move which garnered equal parts approval and regret from the community. "We are none of us perfect, and we all make mistakes, but the good that we do when we do it, and the good advice we give, and the strangers we have helped, are our silent memorials. You have also these last few hours provided a few drops of dignity in what appears to be a murky matter, no matter what accusations regarding failings of character have been made..." wrote administrator LessHeard vanU, echoing the feelings of many other editors.
Who knew?
The focus of the discussion had meanwhile turned to the question of who, exactly, had known of Law's previous identity. The investigation turned quickly to the administrators who had taken part in Law's request for adminship, and allegations were made that they had colluded to deceive the community regarding the identity of the nominee.Administrator GlassCobra, who had nominated Law, was unapologetic:
Another of the involved administrators, Jennavecia, was even more blunt:
Yes, I was aware that The_undertow and Law are the same person... I did purposefully leave out any mention of The_undertow in his RfA nomination; I wanted editors to judge him solely by his actions and edits as Law. I would also like to reaffirm my trust in this editor and call attention to his overwhelmingly positive track record as Law; he has written quality articles, collaborated peacefully with other editors, and used the tools in a manner that is a net positive to this project. It is unfortunate that his identity was revealed this way, and I take this opportunity to note my extreme displeasure with the actions and behavior of the other editors involved in leaking the information... It is quite a mystery to me why this particular instance seems to be generating such a dramastorm.
Meanwhile, arbitrator John Vandenberg posted an apology of his own, writing:
He's my best friend. Big deal. I trust him. That's why I supported him. I don't care if he broke a rule on a website... I'll always have his back no matter what, because we're friends regardless of what's going on with Wikipedia. I would never put a website before a friendship. And I would never not get his back because I'm an admin. If you don't trust me with my tools, recall me, but I won't be admonished for supporting my best friend.
The statement caused a flurry of speculation regarding the identity of the functionary, and the reason why he had written to John, which continued until Keegan identified himself as the editor in question. It then emerged that another functionary had, in fact, used the oversight tool to remove posts identifying Law as the_undertow; arbitrator FloNight, speaking on behalf of the Audit Subcommittee, noted that they would be "reviewing the situation according to our usual practices".
It was brought to my attention this morning, about 9 hours ago, that a functionary had privately informed me on August 21 about the connection between Law and The undertow... My apologies for adding to the recent confusion, especially to the functionary who believed that they had elevated the matter to the committee appropriately. I dropped the ball, and didn't go back to pick it up once I had more time on my hands.
More arbitration requested
Late on 1 October, administrator Jehochman filed a new request for arbitration, calling on the Arbitration Committee to remove the administrator status of those administrators who had knowingly supported Law's own request for adminship. Over the next few days, nearly sixty editors had commented on the request, variously supporting it, opposing it, arguing over whether the Committee was empowered to act on it, suggesting that the administrators in question be recalled, or commenting on a variety of tangential matters. As yet, only Carcharoth has voted on whether to accept the request, although a number of other arbitrators have either recused themselves or posted comments.
On 3 October, Jehochman filed a second request, asking that the first request be heard in an irregular manner—as a collection of requests for comments rather than a normal case. Arbitrator response has been underwhelming.
Policy and codes of conduct
Other editors, meanwhile, have taken the opportunity to pursue a number of policy reform proposals. The most prominent of these, the Arbitration Committee code of conduct, was proposed by administrator SlimVirgin. Among other clauses, the proposed code would include provisions requiring arbitrators to report any "serious violation of policy" or "any violation of the Committee's sanctions" to the rest of the Committee.
At the same time, the matter has renewed interest in the draft arbitration policy that was published for community comment by the Committee earlier this year. Little work on the draft has been done since the second version was released in late June; now, a number of editors have suggested that the Committee is too busy with other tasks to make further progress, and that the community must see to the future development of the policy on its own. Debate over these issues, as well as over the substance of the policy, continues unabated.
- A sad affair. It's easy to see why Casliber's resignation from the Committee, "garnered equal parts approval and regret from the community." The project has to have rules to survive. Yet it has lost an able arbitrator, who found himself in a position where he felt he would benefit both the project and a friend-in-need by skirting the rules.
- Might the rules be changed to account for an arbitrator who wants to help an editor "having a rough patch"? Especially in light of what evidently happened with this editor's "appeal to the committee a year ago" (see Lara, below). How about giving every arbitrator a veto over the Committee's decisions (which the Committee could override, of course)? To allow for an arbitrator who wants to go to bat for a problem editor? After all, the arbitrator, by resorting to his or her veto, would be more or less putting his or her own hide on the line should it not work out. Just a thought. ô¿ô 02:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I sugguest you disable comment for this article. This incident is too sensitive. SYSS Mouse (talk) 18:33, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- This incident has prompted me to remove a lot of administrator and policy forums from my watchlist, as it makes me realize just how disorganized and out of control en.Wikipedia's current governance processes are. The standards for building quality article content are, fortunately, more clear and organized. Cla68 (talk) 05:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- I think this incident is fascinating. I'm writing a draft article exactly about Wikipedia administrators: User:Varks Spira/Wikipedia administrator. Help me out if you can as I'm a little out of my league dealing with this subject. Varks Spira (talk) 05:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Wow. It is pretty fascinating. I especially like how his co-conspirators are so unapologetic. Da'oud Nkrumah 06:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnkrumah (talk • contribs)
- When you look at society in general, it is not 'weird' that people support their friends, and even keep 'secrets' under wraps to protect their friends. And I would put friends before websites as well. However, as administrators they took an active role in supporting Law. They should know better. There is a difference between, being silent and having someone be judged on his own value by other editors, and actively supporting said person in a RfA
and removing evidence of connections between the two accounts. It was a conflict of interest and they should at the very least have made themselves scarce when those conflicts arose. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 14:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

- I have been watching that case for a while now since I noticed it... I just think that, if you take a step back and think of what people reading this would think, the entire affair has been damaging for the encyclopedia. Sure they are all comparing whether any actual rules/policies have been broken, but this is just bureaucracy. I must admit I was happier when I was an IP editor of Wikipedia and didn't pay attention to the mass of red tape, incivility and policy bashing going on... --Taelus (talk) 08:34, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- You might clarify if the two accounts were used in tandem, or if the user switched from the_undertow to Law permanently. There's a big difference. My review of their two edit histories seems to show that Law mostly replaced the_undertow as the main account beginning in Sept 08, but the_undertow was still used occasionally to vote in RfAs and a handful of minor edits. - Draeco (talk) 11:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- It's fine to support your friends, but when you accept the role of admin or arbiter you have a higher responsibility to the project as a whole. (And frankly, my friends wouldn't put me in the position of having to choose.) Every time something like this happens, it makes it that much harder on those of us who are trying to do the best job we can at the job we accepted, because every action we take is automatically tainted by the actions of others. I might feel differently after reflection, but my initial reaction is that desysoping would be in order here. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- I do not know anyone involved or any details, but I want to comment on the principle (main issue). The proper way for the_undertow and those who supported him to help him would have been to petition the Arbitration committee to modify its sanctions. What they did was to willfully evade the sanctions. This undermines the authority of the committee, thereby damaging the governance and dispute resolution process for the English Wikipedia. The committee should not allow its authority to be undermined without consequences. It should punish all those who helped the_undertow to evade the sanctions. JRSpriggs (talk) 16:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- He did appeal to the committee a year ago. There was general agreement among the arbitrators to accept his request (which was revealed this week), but the thread went silent and the request fell into archives without response. Lara 19:58, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Although I disagree with ban evasion, The Undertow's appeal was not the only one which the Committee let slip through the cracks. I know of several others, including one who earned barnstars after a legitimate return. The Committee failed to act upon polite requests for eight months until finally I took the appeal to ANI. It shouldn't be so difficult to seek a review legitimately. Durova322 15:03, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

- What a fascinating and well-written article! I'm a sucker for wikidrama but kudos to Kirill Lokshin for the level-headed account. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 17:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Without commenting on any other aspect of the Law event itself, I would like to extend my compliments to Kirill for the quality of his writing in the course of this article. Excellent work, Kirill. AGK 18:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Good writing Kirill! As to the events described above, if the admins who supported him put their friendship above honesty and Wikipedia, they obviously cannot be trusted. You can support your friends, but you shouldn't hide the truth either. — BQZip01 — talk 20:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Not a bad write-up at all. I'd prefer a few more incriminating pictures, but I'll still take it :P the_undertow talk 04:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Great, I've not watched what the heck is going on in the noticeboards, and I don't dare to venture there, because they're probably completely unreadable smouldering ruins. See, this is why we need LiquidThreads! </sarcasm> --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 19:47, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Good article. Important to write about this stuff. I saw a question raised in the Casliber resignation discussion. What about CasLiber deleting the_undertow's user and talk pages? What's the story there? On another note, I am surprised that the admins mentioned would tolerate a ban evasion by anyone. Diderot's dreams (talk) 01:40, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- I strongly object to the assertion that I am "unapologetic." Please see my statement at RfArb; I have repeatedly apologized to the community and acknowledged my wrongdoing. My statement linked to here in this story was simply my initial thoughts about the news and by no means my complete reaction. My next statement at the RfArb was posted only a day later, well before the publishing date of this story, so I would like to go on record and state my disappointment with the author for misrepresenting me so. GlassCobra 15:57, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- If you are apologetic for wrongdoing why the edit to Law Abiding Citizen? Some might say that that is a passive-aggressive act of defiance. What is the underlying message? What about all of the off Wiki comments? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I assume you are the same person that posted to my talk page recently, and I would like to state that I am puzzled by your assertions. My edit to Law Abiding Citizen was merely because I had just seen a commercial for the movie and was reading the article to learn more about it, and discovered something that needed to be fixed. There is no latent message being sent. I also am unsure of what off-wiki comments you are referring to. GlassCobra 17:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'm well aware of your statement at the request for arbitration, in which you—by my interpretation, in any case—continue to assert that your actions were essentially correct ("To sum up, I do not feel that supporting a friend and acting in the best interests of the project need to be mutually exclusive goals, and I feel that the two were one and the same in this instance."). Given that, I believe it's entirely appropriate to consider your attitude unapologetic, both in the first instance, and subsequently. Kirill [talk] [pf] 21:00, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I was unaware that it was the policy of the Signpost to be editorializing and inserting the personal point of view and opinions of the authors (whether or not they are in fact correct) into their reports on sensitive project matters, and I will again iterate my disappointment, both on my personal behalf and on the behalf of journalistic standards. I hope the readers of this publication will consider the admission of the author in this matter when viewing this piece. GlassCobra 13:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- A quality article and an intriguing case. I don't blame the_undertow for wanting a fresh start; I am a firm believer in second chances. But once the matter became known, there is no other acceptable outcome. I know that hypotheticals aren't very helpful, but I suppose the proper thing would be to privately alert ArbCom of the desire to create a new account, to tell the Committee the account name so it could be monitored for compliance, but not to publicaly connect the two accounts. HereToHelp (talk to me) 01:29, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- I reviewed the use of oversight in this case. (link). My own stance on friendship v. integrity is that standing up for ones' friends is fine, but not at the cost of breach of trust. Possibly the admins concerned believed it was a historic matter and didn't really need bringing up. But they should at the least, have urged Law to disclose to Arbcom or the 'crat team (the matter was bound to come out some time) because it was a material factor, and failing which, told him they could not propose or support his RFA with that undisclosed. Both as friends and Wiki community admins that would have demonstrated integrity. I can't decide if this is serious poor judgment or gross breach of trust. Perhaps a mix of both. FT2 (Talk | email) 03:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- One of the interesting things to have been discovered during this case was the problem with Arbcom's emails - there was a filter throwing away emails from a variety of domains. I think that this would be an interesting item for the Signpost. DuncanHill (talk) 12:43, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Everyone musing on the whole "friendship vs. policy" conundrum seem to miss one important point, namely that the main mistake was made before this issue even emerged. There is a policy against using Wikipedia for social networking, and that policy is there for a reason. When social networks emerge between editors and admins, neutral behaviour and upholding of policy easily suffer. This camaraderie can be horribly alienating to newcomers; a big problem these days as we're already seeing serious decline in participation. Anyone looking for friends, please go to MySpace or – God forbid – turn off the computer and go outside. Lampman (talk) 19:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- To answer Diderot's dreams, I was asked to delete The Undertow's pages by him for a reason unconnected with wikipedia, which I'll leave for the undertow to explain onwiki or I can discuss by email. It didn't even occur to me that it looked bad until pointed out to me retrospectively when all this blew up. Stupid I know, but there you go. Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[QUOTE=edr9x23super;729513]Here's another take: The 9mm round was never really designed with stopping or killing in mind, just as the 7.62x39 round was. It was designed to wound primarily, because that takes up more battlefield resources if you have a wounded soldier.
So, in summary, you have one round designed to wound a person or kill them with a well placed shot, the other designed to kill a horse-sized animal.
This is total B.S.! I've heard this before re. the 5.56mm NATO round for the M16; that it was made to wound so that it would take out the person shot, plus four people to carry him off the battlefield... supposedly to even out the Soviet's advantage in troop numbers. baloney! I've read interviews with the original designer of the M16 (Eugene Stoner) and he totally discounted that idea. The purpose of the 5.56mm NATO was to have a high velocity round that allowed the soldier to carry more ammo and have less recoil while still maintaining killing power.
To try to apply this bogus theory to 9mm is ridiculous. The 9mm Luger is one of the older pistol cartridges around - older than the 45 ACP. When they developed the cartridge it definitely wasn't based around some wounding theory. Even if this "wounding principle" was true for some rifle rounds, who in their right mind would apply that to a pistol cartridge development? Pistols are up close and personal weapons - there is no luxury of distance to allow a wounded soldier to stagger around and be taken to a field hospital - if you wound a person at pistol range, there's a good chance that he's going to keep shooting at you before he decides to lay down and let his buddies treat his wounds. In its introductory time period at the start of the 1900's, it was a very fast, powerful cartidge by those times' standards. It was (and is now) a very effective cartridge - even more so today with the premium hollow point +P loads.

Pricing mistakes most companies makeFebruary 3rd, 2009, 1:00 am by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
In tough economic times, re-evaluating product pricing is a necessity to keep your customers motivated, says Per Sjofors, managing partner at Atenga Inc., a Westlake strategic pricing consulting firm.
Here are 10 most common mistakes companies make when pricing their products:
1. Bacing prices on costs, not customer perceptions of value: Pricing based on costs invariably lead to prices that are too high or too low.
2. Basing prices on "the marketplace": Management teams must find ways to differentiate their projects or services to create additional value for specific market segments.Read the rest of this entry »

Well, this is my problem :
1, I changed a server
2, I triggered the cache
3, The cache setting page told me that it was not working for the non-writable issues
4, I use chmod to make the changes
5, The cache setting page is okay (the .htaccess is even well modified by the cache), but then I just get this:
Cache contents
* 0 cached pages
* 0 expired pages
* 0 cached pages
* 0 expired pages.
I use ssh to see, but found nothing in the /wp-content/cache
What's the matter could possibly be?
Thanks in advance!

This one has a great silhouette.
i wonder what color Galidor would be with the watercolor?

AbstractAdvances in terahertz (THz) technologies have demonstrated their potential to support defense-related applications in a number of areas including concealed or buried explosives, chemical and biohazard detection. However, for many applications, there is a lack of sufficiently powerful miniature THz sources. This lack of THz source technology has been a major limitation and impediment to the exploration, advancement and exploitation of the THz frequency spectrum. InnoSys has developed a solid-state vacuum device (SSVD) technology that addresses several of these problems and limitations, based on its novel techniques for semiconductor microfabrication, micromachining, and microelectromechanical systems, assembly, and packaging. This proposal will explore the scalability of these techniques to provide the requested power ranges, form factors and weight envelopes, and economies of scale at THz frequencies that may result from large-quantity manufacture. Key features of this proposal are the potential for hundreds of milliwatts of THz power in a small form factor (less than 1 cubic centimeter), and InnoSys in-house manufacturing capabilities. InnoSys is a woman-owned small business, with extensive experience in communications, radar, and imaging systems at millimeter and terahertz frequencies. Its facilities include Class 1000 and 100 clean rooms, and a full complement of applicable processing and fabrication equipment.

When I perform heavy disk operations, like deleting 10k files at a time, the network share becomes unresponsive and won't serve out files for a short time.
Here's my configuration. I have a failover file server cluster composed of two Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise servers. Each server is a VM running on top of two independent Dell Poweredge servers running Windows Hyper-V. Both of the Dell servers have dedicated NICs to a Dell MD3000i SAN. Each of the file server VMs route their iSCSI connections through this dedicated NIC for their connection to the volume on the SAN where the files reside.
If I run a batch file that performs 10k deletes from a remote machine that references the file by share name (ie. \\fileserver\sharename\folder\filename.jpg), it may do 1,000 or 8,000 deletes before the share gives out. It's random each time. Ironically, the batch file will continue deleting the files, but other servers accessing files on that same share will get held up. The files I'm deleting would not be accessed by other servers, so locking of those specific files is not an issue.
If I run the same batch file on the master server of the file cluster and reference the files by their local path (ie. x:\folder\filename.jpg), the share cuts out immediately and the other servers sit and wait. Access to that share will resume when I terminate the batch file running.
Anyone have an idea as to the cause of the share cutting out or what I could do to diagnose this issue further? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Updated Note: I've isolated this problem to occurring only within the boundaries of the host box. None of the network traffic involved to replicate this problem with the VMs reaches the physical switch the host box connects to other than the iSCSI connection to the SAN. The iSCSI connection has it's own dedicated switch and private subnet to the SAN outside of standard network traffic.

CHARGERS: Chargers O-line needs name tags
SAN DIEGO — The man in the middle of the Chargers offensive line remains the same — Nick Hardwick, who has been the team's starting center since 2004.
And as the players around him are shuffled like playing cards, Hardwick maintains an attitude of business-as-usual.
"You've just got to go out and execute your assignment," Hardwick said, "and whatever play's called you perform it to the best of your ability."
As Hardwick looks to his left and right on Sunday when the Denver Broncos come to Qualcomm Stadium, the familiar faces of guards Kris Dielman and Louis Vasquez will almost certainly not be there.
Dielman has been placed on injured reserve and is lost for the season. Vasquez, who was inactive for last Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Chicago because of an ankle injury, was held out of practice again on Thursday and is not being counted on this Sunday either.
Stepping in for them will likely be Stephen Schilling, signed to the active roster on Oct. 26, and Tony Moll, who just started his second week with the team. Moll will replace Scott Mruczkowski (who went on injured reserve Wednesday), who replaced Tyronne Green, who replaced Dielman.
It generally takes a little time to build trust among offensive linemen, but Hardwick says the Chargers don't have that luxury right now.
"You know, you're going to fight alongside of the guy, you immediately have to trust him," Hardwick said. "And so, we do. We love (Moll) like he's been here seven years."
Phillips returns to practice
Linebacker Shaun Phillips was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. He hasn't played since Oct. 23, against the Jets due to a foot injury.
Coach Norv Turner says he wants to see how Phillips feels on Friday, and stopped short of saying he would start Sunday.
"I think, not having played, he might be able to play in some of our nickel packages or something like that," Turner said. "So we just might try to get some plays out of him -- if he's able to go 15, 20 plays, something like that."
Vasquez, Green, Marcus McNeill, Ryan Matthews and Malcom Floyd did not participate in practice Thursday. But cornerback Marcus Gilchrist, who missed practice Wednesday, did make it back to the practice field.
Blackout lifted
The 3,400 tickets that remained unsold earlier in the week for the Broncos game were all sold and the television blackout was lifted on Thursday.
The game will be broadcast on CBS at 1:15 p.m. Sunday. Former Chargers quarterback Dan Fouts will be analyzing the action, with Ian Eagle on play-by-play.

COLLEGE STATION -- Four of the nation's top blue-chip recruits have signed their National Letter of Intent to join the Texas A&M women's basketball program for the 2008-09 season as announced by head coach Gary Blair Wednesday.
The nationally-ranked Aggies have inked Lone Star State talents in Sydney Carter, a 5-foot-6 combination guard out of DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, Skylar Collins, a 5-foot-9 shooting guard out of Cedar Hill High School in Cedar Hill, Texas, and Adaora Elonu, a six-foot small forward out of Alief Elsik High School in Houston, Texas. The Texas trio is joined by Floridian Kelsey Assarian, a 6-foot-1 post player out of Barron Collier High School in Naples, Fla.
"In this recruiting class we filled needs not just wants," Blair said. "Due to injuries and graduation, we felt like we needed young ladies that had tremendous versatility and could play more than one position. Each of these signees can play multiple positions and all of them come from winning high school programs, top notch AAU programs and excel in the classroom. This top recruiting class has the intangibles which will help carry us both on-and-off the court. They are all excellent students and members of the National Honor Society at their respective high schools. Academics were a key factor for each of them when choosing to sign with Texas A&M, because they wanted to be challenged academically and athletically at a world-renowned university."
Rated the No. 54 overall prospect and the eighth-best power forward in the Class of 2008 by the All-Star Girls Basketball Report, Kelsey Assarian (pronounced us-AIRR-ian) was the first recruit to commit to A&M. Originally from Grapevine, Texas, she moved to Florida in the eighth grade and has since become Florida's top player in the class of 2008 as rated by Dan Olsen of Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. Last year, she averaged 15.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks as a junior. Assarian was also named 2006-07 Naples Daily News Girls Basketball Player of the Year and a 2006 All-Florida Second Team selection. A Street & Smith's Honorable Mention All-American, she led Barron Collier High School to the state 5A championship title and a 31-2 overall record as a sophomore. Assarian also competes in volleyball and track and field and her older sister, Allyson, is currently a senior at Texas A&M. She is looking to major in engineering or architecture at A&M.
"Kelsey is one of the most physical players I've seen come out of high school in the last few years," Blair said. "She will easily fit into our style of play on the defensive end. She scores inside at will and usually against taller post players. We want her to play more at the high post position and increase her range. She's also an outstanding all-around athlete as a middle blocker on her state-ranked volleyball team."
Rated the No. 44 overall prospect and the sixth-best shooting guard in the Class of 2008 by the All-Star Girls Basketball Report, Skylar Collins was former teammates with current Texas A&M sophomore forward Ashlaa Horton at Cedar Hill High School. Last season, she was named the District 8-5A offensive player of the year and earned all-state honors. Collins averaged 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game as a junior and recently scored a game-high 33 points versus Skyline High School. She is looking to major in sports medicine or sport management at A&M. Collins chose A&M over Kansas and Illinois.
"Skylar is a larger Erica Roy who played for us our first three years at A&M," Blair said. "She is one of the most competitive young ladies that I have seen come out of high school. She refuses to lose in anything and will bring that attitude with her everyday to the practice floor. She can defend at all three of the perimeter positions and will get plenty of playing time because of her defense. As she matures and settles into a true shooting guard, her offensive game will flourish. For her high school team, she has to play inside a lot because of her size, but she works on her outside game daily and shoots the three well."
Rated the No. 63 overall prospect and the 10th-best point guard in the Class of 2008 by the All-Star Girls Basketball Report, Sydney Carter hopes to follow in the footsteps of former A&M All-American Lisa Branch (1993-96) who is also a product of DeSoto High School. Last season, she was selected as co-MVP of District 8-5A and earned all-area second team honors. Carter averaged 11.9 points and 4.3 rebounds as a junior and has already passed the 1,200 career-point mark. Rated the ninth-best player in the state of Texas, she led DeSoto to a 36-3 overall record and a regional championship appearance a year ago. Carter also competes in track and field and chose A&M over Louisville. She is looking to pursue a pre-medicine major at A&M.
"Sydney hails from the same high school that produced Aggie Hall of Famer Lisa Branch," Blair said. "Her high school coach, Larry Goad, says they are very similar. Lisa was quicker and a great leader, but Sydney is stronger and a better shooter. She will be converted to the point guard position at A&M, but can double up and play the shooting guard spot if needed. Her high school team is ranked second in the state and has four Division I signees on their team. She also plays in the same district as future A&M teammate Skylar Collins from Cedar Hill."
Rated the No. 49 overall prospect and the sixth-best power forward in the Class of 2008 by the All-Star Girls Basketball Report, Adaora Elonu (pronounced uh-DOOR-uh eh-lawn-OO) is the younger sister of Texas A&M sophomore men's basketball forward/center Chinemelu Elonu. Last year, she averaged 18.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game during her junior campaign and recently scored a game-high 22 points versus The Woodlands High School. A preseason second-team All-Greater Houston selection, Elonu plays for the 13th-ranked Class 5A Lady Rams. She looks to pursue a pre-medicine major at A&M with future aspirations of becoming a pediatrician. Elonu, who is also a standout in volleyball and track and field, chose A&M over Baylor, George Washington and Kansas.
"Adaora is the centerpiece of our great recruiting class," Blair said. "She is a high post player that has the same versatility to match that of Morenike Atunrase and Danielle Gant. She has really worked hard this summer with her AAU team by developing her face-up skills and her shooting range. She just knows how to play the game and has the basketball I.Q. that you must have to be successful at the Division I level. Her family is very close and extremely proud and supportive of each other. With Morenike graduating this season and Danielle going into her senior year, we will need Adaora to be able to produce for us right away."
The Aggie women are currently ranked No. 11 nationally in both the USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches Top 25 Poll and Associated Press Top 25 Poll. A&M was also predicted to win its second consecutive Big 12 Conference title this season. Assarian, Carter, Collins and Elonu will join the Aggies next fall.
"My staff has worked hard on this class for three years," Blair said. "They keep filling the roster with young ladies that can achieve success in the classroom and play the aggressive style of Aggie basketball that has raised the bar of expectations at Texas A&M University. The blueprint works, so we will keep bringing in quality young ladies that can play both ends of the floor."
Kelsey Assarian, 6-1, Forward, Naples, Fla. (Barron Collier HS)
Sydney Carter, 5-6, Guard, DeSoto, Texas (DeSoto HS)
Skylar Collins, 5-9, Guard, Cedar Hill, Texas (Cedar Hill HS)
Adaora Elonu, 6-0, Forward, Houston, Texas (Alief Elsik HS)
"This is a solid class and Coach Blair basically didn't have to leave the state. (Kelsey) Assarian currently lives in Florida, but she was born and bred in Texas. A&M probably will be ranked in the top 10 among recruiting classes, because this class doesn't have any voids." – Dan Olson, Collegiate Girls Basketball Report
"Skylar Collins is a very athletic, typical A&M player. She is a very skilled two guard who will see the floor right away. Adaora Elonu is a big-time athlete that can play the three as well as the four positions and will provide immediate help for the Aggies. Kelsey Assarian is a big-time banger with skills as good as anyone in the country. She can score with either hand and has a definite low-post presence. Sydney Carter is a big-time point guard that had a great summer and will surprise many people. This is a dynamite recruiting class that was originally ranked No. 23, but with the additions of Elonu and Carter, it will probably move up to being one of the top 15-ranked classes in the nation." – Brett McCormick, All-Star Girls Basketball Report National Scouting Director

XNA games – you won't make a lot of money
Gamerbytes has published a nice table of XNA games sales and profits, showing fairly ably that you're not going to get rich from the platform any time soon. Put it this way – you'd be lucky to take home $1,000.
The figures show how many times games were trialled, how many times they were bought and how the money's split up.

I prefer Abiword instead of Libreoffice, so i right-clicked on an opendocument-file, selected "open with" and in the window I chose to make it open with the command "abiword", and when I double-click the document it opens in abiword, but in the launcher it shows a gray question mark instead of the abiword icon. It's a minor thing I know, but it bugs me. How can you start it and have the real icon show?
Have you tried to, instead of opening a document, open Abiword through Menu > Applications?

"Algiers the white, the capital of Algeria" Top 5 Page for this destination Algiers by eternel2002
Algiers Travel Guide: 182 reviews and 761 photos
Algiers (arabic name: Al-Jaza'ir) is the capital of Algeria and the most important Mediterranean port of northwest Africa, it's also nicknamed 'El bahdja' or "Alger la blanche" (Algeirs the white) because of its white buildings.
Algiers has a great and long history, it was governed by successive conquerors, romans, vandals, byzantians , arabs, spanish, ottomans and finaly french.
Algiers played a strategic role in World War II as the headquarters of De Gaulle's Free French army, as an important operation centre from 1943 until the conclusion of the war.
After 1957 Algiers become the epicentre of the Algerian war of liberation against french until 1962 when Algeria took its independance, the movie "The battle of Algiers" shows well this period of Algerian war liberation and a part of Algiers history.
Algiers is an exciting city when tradition and modernity live together,
The Casbah, forms the old city with its special architecture and small streets, the modern city forms the rest. It is a nice city with its warm mediterranean climate, hospitality, good hotels and restaurants, different museums and parcs, nice beaches and its unique beautiful bay.
This is one of the most beautiful mosques in algiers, it is in the city center, on the 'place des martyrs' (in arabic: sahat ech-chouhada), it was built in the 17th century.. a very nice mosque, white and beautiful from outside, Ididn't had chance to get inside but I'm sure it's beautiful too :)
La grande poste, it is the central poste office of algiers, one of the famous monuments of the city, but it is more thant that. it's an outsdanding masterpiece of art and architecture. very beautiful from outside and inside.
- Pros:Nice arhitecture, beautiful bay
- Cons:traffic

There's a lot of great talent from Algeria, author -- Albert Camus, singer -- Etienne Daho, and actor -- Daniel Auteil. Do you know them?
Excellent d�but! J'esp�re aussi que tu pourras b�tir une page encore plus compl�te sur Alger. Je vais essayer d'en faire une aussi mais j'ai peu de photos: je suis souvent pass� pour aller vers le sud le plus vite possible!
Algiers seems a very beautiful city....i hope you will add more, as I'm very interested in Algiers, especially the Casbah and the Front du Mer :@P choukrane

Tasting Notes
The whiskey presents notes of caramel and vanilla, with hints of maple syrup, cinnamon, leather and tobacco. The finish is extremely long, fruity and spicy.
Technical Notes
(132º) The third release from the 1999 Collectors Whiskey series was distilled from 100% European Two-Row Barley grown and malted in British Columbia, Canada. In 1999, Marko Karakasevic took 20,000 gallons craft pilsner beer and distilled it down into whiskey. The whiskey was aged for eight years in new American oak with a #3 "Gator Skin char, and an additional eight years in neutral vessels. It was bottled unfiltered at cask strength.

Observational estimate of climate sensitivity from changes in the rate of ocean heat uptake and comparison to CMIP5 models

Climate sensitivity is estimated based on 0–2,000 m ocean heat content and surface temperature observations from the second half of the 20th century and first decade of the 21st century, using a simple energy balance model and the change in the rate of ocean heat uptake to determine the radiative restoration strength over this time period. The relationship between this 30–50 year radiative restoration strength and longer term effective sensitivity is investigated using an ensemble of 32 model configurations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5), suggesting a strong correlation between the two. The mean radiative restoration strength over this period for the CMIP5 members examined is 1.16 Wm−2K−1, compared to 2.05 Wm−2K−1 from the observations. This suggests that temperature in these CMIP5 models may be too sensitive to perturbations in radiative forcing, although this depends on the actual magnitude of the anthropogenic aerosol forcing in the modern period. The potential change in the radiative restoration strength over longer timescales is also considered, resulting in a likely (67 %) range of 1.5–2.9 K for equilibrium climate sensitivity, and a 90 % confidence interval of 1.2–5.1 K.

For some Christians it's been years since they've cracked open a Bible or carried one to church. While most are familiar with well-known biblical accounts of Moses parting the Red Sea, the extraordinary strength of Samson, or how David conquered Goliath, few build upon these basic Sunday school teachings, resulting in what one apologist calls "biblical illiteracy."
In a portion of his new book Unanswered, a volume intended to shed light on several hot-button topics that loom large within the Church, apologist and New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston addresses biblical illiteracy and Christians who know "just enough about the Bible to be dangerous."
"The Bible can be stripped down, vandalized, added to, taken away [from], and 95 percent of people in the Church would not even know you were doing it because they simply do not know the Bible," Johnston told The Christian Post earlier this month. more >>
While promoting the release of his latest DVD for the film "God's Club," well-known Baldwin brother Stephen revealed that he is connecting with a church in New York City to start a Bible study that will help young people who are lost, depressed or confused.
"I just found in my heart that what young people are seeking more than ever is to be challenged with an authentic encounter and experience with truth. That's what I believe young people are looking for," Baldwin told The Christian Post.
The actor maintained that he's gearing up to host the Bible study because after visiting many churches that focus on youth in the city, he felt there was still something missing. Baldwin contends that as much as young, hip churches are "blessing" the younger generation with music and a practical kind of Bible teaching, that really only goes so far. more >>
Researchers at a Christian college in Virginia have found that the King James Version of the Bible is the most frequently used translation among five denominations in the United States.
Bluefield College released ts findings earlier this month, noting that the KJV Bible was most used by Baptists, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Mormons.
"The original research for the project was based on open source versions of the Bible, including data from the Pew Research Center, Google Analytics, and YouVersion," said Chris Shoemaker, director of marketing and public relations at Bluefield, to The Christian Post. more >>
ARLINGTON, Va. — "Risen" flips the script on the traditional telling of the resurrection of Christ, focusing on the story through the lens of a non-believer, a Roman military Tribune tasked with finding Christ's missing body in order to quash hopes among the Jews of a risen Savior.
Directed by Kevin Reynolds, the Sony/AffirmFilms faith-based movie stars lead actor Joseph Fiennes, 44, ("Shakespeare in Love" and "Luther") who delivers a credible portrayal of the fictional Roman Tribune, Clavius. Ordered by Pontius Pilate (Peter Firth) to find Yeshua's body and prove the empty tomb of "The Nazarene" to be no more than a hoax to "keep a crusade alive," Clavius will stop at nothing to that end.
With the help of his aide, Lucius, played by Tom Felton, Fiennes' character scouts out clues that he believes will lead to Christ's missing body, much like a detective would a criminal case, giving "Risen" a mystery-like quality that will appeal to believers and non-believers alike. It's what attracted Fiennes to the film. more >>
The dramatic miniseries "A.D. The Bible Continues" was short-lived on television, but its Nov. 3 release on Blu-ray and DVD gives the Bible saga a crack at immortality. A four-disc set offers viewers 45 minutes of exclusive features that chronicle the creation of the series.
Just for readers of The Christian Post, executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett want to share a special message.
"Hello to all of our friends at The Christian Post. We couldn't be more thankful for all of your incredible support of 'A.D. The Bible Continues,' and we are thrilled to experience the journey with you once again," Downey said in a video created for CP. "'A.D.' captures the remarkable story of the Apostles after the crucifixion. An event that forever changed the course of human history." more >>
If you're a human being, odds are you've felt stress at some point in your life. It would be a miracle if you hadn't.

Stress is not a mere byproduct of the demands of modern day society, but something that people have dealt with for ages. more >>

OK. Right now I have a perfectly working dual boot laptop with Ubuntu 12.10 and Microsoft Windows 8 (both in UEFI mode). The disk is partitioned in GPT format (needed by Windows UEFI installation and preferred by me).
What I would like now is to enable a function of the laptop (called ExpressGate) that allows me to boot an different OS from a special button. The function works finding an special file in a FAT/NTFS partition in a MBR disk, and I know that works with hybrid disk.
But it's impossible to me to make Windows boot from a hybrid partition (using the gdisk tool).
Someone had any ideas?

I have to start with the Bible this time because I want my readers to know the Bible reference first!
Here it is in the King James:
"Rebekah [Issac's wife] conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, if it be so, why am I thus? *** Two nations are in thy womb…and the elder shall serve the younger." Genesis 25:21-23 (KJV)
Rebekah, Issac's wife, felt her babies in the womb fighting! Today the Huffington Post shows this remarkable ultrasound (I did not know there was this kind of detail! No wonder the abortionists are afraid of women seeing this sort of image!) of two babies in the womb literally fighting each other:
"It's my womb!" "No, it's my womb!"
Siblings apparently are never too young to be rivals, a video taken from a new high-clarity MRI scan shows.
The high-tech monitor, also dubbed the "cinematic MRI," allows doctors to see, in better detail, when twins vie for space in utero, Dr. Marisa Taylor-Clarke of Imperial College's Robert Steiner MR Unit in London told Reuters.
This also speaks to original sin, too! How can a fetus know good from evil yet? He or she has not been educated yet or socialized to know good from bad! So why are the babies fighting?
Once again, science (medicine) shows a fact described in the Holy Bible! How did the writer of Genesis (Moses?) know this unless the Spirit told him? Of course you cannot prove faith in Christ Jesus BUT it is reasonable to believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord.
If you want to know more about Jesus Christ and the eternal life He alone brings to the world that anyone can receive, go here!

All pages are producing (at least) two h1 tags each, which - taking into account the way they are being used - could be quite bad for SEO.
And, maybe more importantly, the theme author provides NO support.
Just installed and have been working on this site for the past hour and a bit. I'm finding that the Theme Options interface is freezing my computer (new enough laptop running plenty of RAM, etc.); I can't seem to 'edit' the header as in 'crop' where I simply want to adjust the parameters to the size of my header - 1200x200 which is less than recommended but results in header being offset and the featured content images are not centered either. The box for sizing the header simply will not adjust. So, jury is still out on this - will give it another couple of hours and probably try a revised header image but so far....... Will revise my initial review as things pan out. Shame, this is the look I'm wanting.

I have also read this topic but still not able to send a email without using SSL in my code.
Everytime I send a mail it says "Exception 554, Mail Refused"
what i really need is to use::
mailhost: "smtpout.secureserver.net"
port-no: 25
