Flexible Tactile Sensor Using Polyurethane Thin Film

AbstractA novel capacitive tactile sensor using a polyurethane thin film is proposed in this paper. In previous studies, capacitive tactile sensors generally had an air gap between two electrodes in order to enhance the sensitivity. In this study, there is only polyurethane thin film and no air gap between the electrodes. The sensitivity of this sensor is higher than the previous capacitive tactile sensors because the polyurethane is a fairly flexible elastomer and the film is very thin (about 1 µm). The polyurethane film is formed by spin-coating and etched back from 6 µm to 1 µm using 48% sulfuric acid. As a result of evaluation, the sensitivity of the developed sensor (diameter is 1 mm) is 1.3 pF/Pa (800 pF/N considering the sensing area). Young's modulus of the thin polyurethane film was estimated to be 20 kPa.

Aubade Theme of Religion
Even though our speaker directly address religion only briefly in "Aubade," the entire poem is kind of a rejection of religion and religion's ideas about death. It seems pretty safe to say that the speaker in this poem won't be showing up at his local Sunday service or singing in the choir. Religion doesn't hold any comfort for this guy, and it seems like he harbors some contempt for the institution as a whole.
Questions About Religion
- Larkin addresses religion directly in the poem's third stanza. Does the poem deal with religion and religious ideas about death indirectly anywhere else in the poem? Where and how?
- Did you have a positive or a negative reaction to the third stanza? What caused you to react the way you did? Would the poem be changed in a significant way if the third stanza were omitted? Why or why not?
- Play devil's advocate for a minute: tell Larkin why he's wrong about religion and its ability to offer people comfort regarding death's inevitability.
Chew on This
In "Aubade," the poem's speaker dismisses religion as a means to deal with the inevitability of death. He doesn't believe in God or an afterlife, and he is one sad puppy. This fact actually makes a strong argument for the effectiveness of religion in dealing with the complexity and fear of death.
By having a speaker that dismisses religion and all other philosophical means of coping with death, Larkin makes the fear of death feel even stronger and more immediate. Larkin chose to have the speaker mock religion simply to heighten the poem's sense of desperation and isolation. Mission: accomplished.

Based on 282 Ratings for the 2002 - 2008 models.Review this car
By Steve on Sunday, October 9, 2011
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 75,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "Amazing drive. It has everything."
Cons: "Expensive, electronics can be finicky."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I've driven luxury cars, sports cars, trucks and everything in between. It's an amazing combination of luxury, comfort and driving exhilaration. It eats up interstate better than almost anytthing, and still out handles and out accellerates sports cars on hilly winding roads - gotta love the paddle shifters. Throw in more convenience and fun tech gadgets than you get on most cars 7 years newer. The comfort seats live up to the description plus are heated, cooled and a massage feature which is great on long trips. One big surprise - with snow tires, it's better in snow and ice than many SUVs. The dynamic stability contril is amazing. Almost impossible to make the car skid. Plus, don't laught, I had the car 3 winters before I discovered the heated steering wheel."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 66,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Engineering detail and quality"
Cons: "the idrive controller and GPS"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I bought this car at the end of a 2 year lease and keep it in tip top condition. It only gets serviced by the dealer and comparatively speaking compared to other cars I have owned, this one requires about the same amount of attention as the others. The idrive mechanism that controls the radio/nav etc is cumbersome to use but once you have it figured out, it's ok. This car is rock solid and fast. Backseat passengers have a tremendous amount of leg room. This car is awesome and looks an drives as good as when it was brand new."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 59,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Luxury galore, very safe, comfort, nice power, MPG"
Cons: "BAD in snow, sunroof is loud"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This car is remarkable. The comfort is great. I'm 6' 3" and this car is amazing. I have had 4 - 5 series and an X5 and this by far is the best....unless you are talking about snow- NOT GOOD! I figured because of the perfect weight balance this would be good but it is terrible! It would be the only reason I go back to a 5 series. Even without the Xi badge the 535 was amazing in the snow. The only other small complaint i can even think of is the sunroof. It is very loud with the slide pulled back. I just don't understand that on a 90K car."

"I LOVE MY BMW 745I. I have had my car for two years now. No major problems. The IDrive is easy enough to use such as the navi, handling is great and very confortable. Pros: My favorite feature of this car is the Convenient Package which includes the soft close doors and heated seats! Parking sensors, the two tone interior (tan leather with black flooring), alarm, navigation, voice command to work the radio / CD. Cons: Had to take it in to fix a minor problem (the heater/air button won't turn off the heat /air when I want it off) and still not totally fixed... just learned to live with it by turning it down. Recommend: GET the Extended Warrenty and Maintenance Package... Well worth it!"

"We purchased the 750-Li one month ago (June '09). And have already clocked 4,000 miles, so we have had time to assess the overall vehicle. This is the first BMW we've owned. Issue - The only issue we have had is with the parking brake - not resolved yet. Everything else is working fine. Every day is a a new discovery. As we "scale" to experience this machine, we discover new features, performance aspects and control options. Very nice. - Acceleration is delayed (turbo delay) however extremely powerful and forthright, able to merge on a dime. Smooth and "limitless". - Comfort is unmatched. Drove to/from Philly-Maine - 10 hrs each way in total comfort. Seat air cooling system very much worth investment. Lumbar range is very good. - Rear Seat - The Li has additional 6" in rear seat leg room. My Dad and I rode in rear for extended time - truly felt and rode like Qantas first class LAX-MEL. (Very comfortable) Mobile foot rest is a nice plus. - Customer Service - The local dealership is truly outstanding in customer service. Minor Parking brake issue reported and they pulled all the stops in response. - iDrive - lots on the wires about pluses and minuses, however this is my first experience and I find it very user-friendly. The direct one-touch "Tel", "Nav", etc is intuitive and highly useful. iPod / Bluetooth seconds to engage. - Handling - Driving the back roads of PA in our 750Li truly feels like a sports car. The various modes (Comfort, Normal, Sports and Sports+) all serve unique experiences. Sports+ is a true driving experience. Comfort setting is a must for I-95. - Engineering - I am an engineer. This vehicle is engineered to "comply" with the drivers requirements. Focus on the road and still view / access all required controls / displays and options. Highly intuitive. Summary - BMW has truly out done themselves in producing the 750Li. Thank you Munich!!"

Shutdown Delays Benefits to Families of War Dead
By Julian E. Barnes and Allison Prang, Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON — Family members of four Americans killed in combat in Afghanistan over the weekend won't be flown at government expense to Dover Air Force Base to view the return of the soldier's bodies to the U.S., a result of the government shutdown which also will delay death benefit payments to the families.
The bodies of the four soldiers will arrive at Dover tomorrow, according to military officials.
Normally, the Pentagon pays airfare so that families can be present for transfer ceremonies at Dover, where U.S. troops killed in action are returned home. But because of the shutdown, the Defense Department is not allowed to pay the travel costs.
The Pentagon also pays families a $100,000 death gratuity when troops are killed in combat, and provides burial benefits as reimbursement for funeral and internment costs.
Because of the shutdown, however, the death gratuity and burial benefits will be delayed until the Pentagon has legal authority to pay them. Officials said the money would be paid when the government restarts.

Central Lafourche sweeps pair from East St. John
Published: Saturday, January 22, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 22, 2005 at 12:36 a.m.
RESERVE -- The Central Lafourche boys and girls soccer teams had no problem with East St. John in District 6-I play Friday night.
The Lady Trojans won 6-1, and the boys followed with a 5-1 victory over the Trojans.
Matt Labat scored two goals to lead the Trojans (13-5-2, 6-1 district) past the Wildcats.
"Matt Labat is an up and coming midfielder with a lot of potential, and I look forward to seeing him reach it," Central Lafourche coach Dennis Blanchard said.
After Lee Legarde gave the Trojans a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute, Labat scored the first of his two goals in the 30th minute to increase the lead to 2-0. Seth Walker scored two minutes later for Central Lafourche and was followed by Labat's second goal in the 52nd minute.
Brandon Trant's goal in the 61st minute put East St. John on the scoreboard, but Walter Broussard scored on a penalty kick to seal the victory for the Trojans.
Leeza Iver's hat trick keyed an offensive explosion that saw the Lady Trojans outshoot the Lady Wildcats, 41-2.
Heidi Reed scored in the sixth minute to give East St. John a 1-0 lead, which was erased 24 minutes later by Iver's first goal.
Iver final two goals, which came in the 36th and 52nd minutes, put Central Lafourche (11-7-2, 4-3) ahead for good.
Brandy Melancon increased the lead to 4-1 in the 65th minute, and Kelly Savoie and Brandy Matherne scored in the 71st and 74th minutes, respectively, to seal the win.
The Lady Tigers took a significant step toward securing a spot in Division I playoffs Friday night at Tom B. Smith Stadium as they routed the Lady Braves in a District 6-I match.
Kandice Champagne led Terrebonne with two goals. Courtney Braxton, Allie Cantrell and Scottie Dufrene contributed a goal apiece for the Lady Tigers.
Braxton started things off scoring a goal from 15 yards out in the 10th minute. Champagne added to the lead in the 37th minute with her first goal to give Terrebonne a 2-0 halftime lead.
The Lady Tigers (15-4, 5-2 district) wasted no time in extending their lead in the second half when Cantrell scored in the opening minute. Dufrene scored in the 20th, Champagne added a goal in the 27th. Gillian McCarter had three assists for Terrebonne.
Terrebonne's defense allowed six shots on goal and goalie Sarah Daimon didn't allow a goal.
HLB fell to 8-7-1, 2-4 with the loss.
Each team has two district games remaining.
Terrebonne goalie Nick "Binki" Johnson had 28 saves in a match that saw Bourgeois put relentless pressure on the Tigers' defense.
The Braves, however, needed only four saves by goalie Chris Chauvinto secure a victory Friday night.
In the eighth minute of the first half, Bryce Chauvin scored from 35 yards out. It would be the only goal of the match.
"We dominated the first half," said Bourgeois coach Sonny Bach. "We got tired at the end of it but were able to shut them down. We kept the pressure on them in second, and had a great defensive effort."
Chauvin slapped down a bullet sent by Tiger Noeirbek Khalilov in the 24th minute of the second half that seemed sure to be going in. The Tigers had other opportunities to score, most notably in the 28th minute and in the closing seconds. The first was negated by an off-ides call, ending a fast break.
With less than a minute left in the game, Terrebonne had a free kick from midfield collected by Khalilov, who split three defenders and put the ball in the back of the net.
But the ensuing celebration for the apparent tie was in vain due to a hand ball violation called by the lead official. The score remained 1-0 and ended there seconds latter.
"I thought it was a very even game," Tigers coach Julio Contreras said. "We tried to find ways to score and had some chances. We missed some goals. HL played well though."
H.L. Bourgeois moved closer to putting themselves in the playoffs by moving to 11-3-2 and 4-2. Terrebonne dropped to 14-9-1 and 4-3 in district.

D&AD exists to stimulate, enable and award creative excellence in design and advertising.
What is D&AD?
Since 1962, D&AD has been inspiring a community of creative thinkers by celebrating and stimulating the finest in design and advertising. The D&AD Professional Awards are recognised globally as the ultimate creative accolade, entered and attended by the best from around the world.
But it's much more than just awards. Members join a vibrant global community, whilst creatives and clients are inspired by a world-class Training programme.
As a non-profit advertising association, all D&AD's surpluses go straight into programmes such as New Blood, inspiring the next generation of creative talent and stimulating the creative industry to work towards a fairer more sustainable future.
Everything You Need to Know:
The Backstory
In 1962 a group of designers and art directors come together to celebrate creative communication and raise standards within their industry.
Amongst the group are David Bailey, Terence Donovan and Alan Fletcher. Calling themselves British Design & Art Direction, the following year they organise their first Awards event. And they are picky. From 2,500 entries they select just 16 pieces of work to receive the soon-to-be coveted Yellow Pencil; the first of its kind.
Today, British Design & Art Direction has grown mightily, but slimmed down its name. Now D&AD, its members represent the creative, design and advertising communities, not just in Britain, but worldwide.
D&AD is a Member-run organisation, led by an elected board. Meet our 2015-16 Trustees

Where Does Your Money Go?
As a non-profit, D&AD takes all of its surplus revenues and invests them back into the creative industry. The funds from the D&AD Foundation are dedicated to funding programmes that develop the next generation of creative talent while campaigning for the creative industries to help solve the world's toughest social and environmental issues.

An Enemy of the People
by Henrik Ibsen
Jesus Christ
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Towards the end of the play Dr. Stockmann becomes a Christ figure. Dr. Stockmann, however, might disagree with our assessment. In Act 4 he yells at the crowd, "I am not so forgiving as a certain Person; I do not say: 'I forgive you, for ye know not what ye do'" (4.188). OK, Doc, you might not be as forgiving as Christ, but you sure share a lot of similarities. The Doctor, like Jesus, has a message of truth that he wants to spread across the land. He's hounded by the authorities for wanting to spread it. The majority of his community rejects his message. Eventually an angry mob chastises him and throws rocks.
Though the Doctor isn't executed like Jesus, the townspeople turning against him and destroying his life could be seen as a metaphorical crucifixion. Also, when Dr. Stockmann regains his strength at the end of the play and sets out to reeducate the world, it could be interpreted as sort of resurrection. The fact that he wants to pass his truth on to legion of young followers is also much like Jesus and his disciples.
Dr. Stockmann is also tempted to sway from his path of truth much like Christ was tempted by the Devil. The Mayor tries to get Stockmann to retract his statements, by promising his job back in the future. Morten Kiil, Stockmann's father-in-law, threatens to take away Stockmann's family's inheritance. Then Hovstad and Aslaksen come and try to convince the Doctor to cash in on the controversy of the Baths. Throughout this scene, you'll hear the Dr. Stockmann say things like, "Well, I think I have had a visit from every one of the devil's messengers to-day!" (4.259). Chances are this sort of language is not a coincidence.

In the recent Editorial Board call, we noted that we will be attending the Global Vulnerability Reporting Summit at the FIRST meeting in Kyoto next week.
As much as is possible, we would like to be able to accurately represent the thoughts and concerns of the CVE Editorial Board.
To this end, could you respond to the following 2 open ended questions?
Q1 - What the two biggest realities that need to be understood or recognized when addressing the problem of Global Vulnerability Reporting? These realities can be misperceptions, challenges, end user needs, market forces or any other issue that you
think needs to be squarely put on the table prior to crafting solutions to the GVR problem.
Q2 - What are the two most important goals that need to be achieved by any reasonable GVR solution? If you think there should be different goals in the near term and in the long term, please elaborate.

Well I can only HOPE Fergie will start him. I think he has used him sparingly since the turn of the year. And I have a feeling that he will feel that Giggsy will be fresh and ready for this game. He makes a potential 4-3-3 sytem on the attack work and knows where to slot in for 4-5-1 when defending. He can drift out to the wing, play through the centre of midfield or support the strikers/change positions with Ronney during the game. I know we set out our stall in Barca, but I guarantee if Park, Wazza and Tevez start, we will do the exact same thing against Chelski too. Thats my point. And I feel, the best way to get past Chelski is to play exactly like we did against them at OT. Enforce our game on to them. I just don't think we can do that properly with Park starting. I mean be honest, although Park plays very well against the bigger clubs (as a worker) and is more direct against teams such as West Ham and Fulham, do you remember him starting against any big club where we were the attacking and dominant side? The Arsenal game was a great example. Although Scholsey had a shocker, it wasn't until we changed to a more attacking outfit with Park coming off that we started to dominate Arsenal. I think we should play like we did (with a team similar to what we did) in the second half against Arsenal from the off against Chelski.

Analysis of Traits Related to Weed Competitiveness in Sweet Corn (Zea mays L.)

AbstractWeed management in sweet corn can be costly; genetic improvements in sweet corn competitiveness may reduce this expense. Competitive ability can exist as weed suppressive ability (WSA), or crop tolerance (CT). Previous studies in corn have found year of hybrid release, maturity, plant height, leaf angle and leafiness may affect WSA, while hybrid era, maturity, and plant height may affect CT. However, many of these studies were limited to very few genotypes. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of phenomorphological traits on sweet corn competitiveness and the inheritance of these traits. An incomplete half-diallel from seven historic sweet corn inbred lines of varying morphologies was evaluated in a split-block randomized complete block design in three environments. Forage sorghum was interplanted in half of the blocks to act as a model weed. Significant differences among hybrids were generally found for both phenomorphological traits and traits measuring WSA and CT, such as sorghum biomass and yield stability, respectively. Crop plant height was most predictive of WSA and CT. In this set of genotypes, competitive ability may be passed with reasonable fidelity from parent to offspring, suggesting that sweet corn could be bred for competitive ability.

I called to file a complaint with the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs only to learn that this is an unregistered business. They have no record of the company at that address. Definitely no auctioneer at that address.
You can file a complaint online at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dca/html/resources/complaint.shtml
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Live Auctioneers--NEEDS GUARANTEES To Buyers or needs to Close!
AUTHOR: Maxine - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, June 01, 2012POSTED: Friday, June 01, 2012
I have had problems on this site as well, and personally will not use it unless I see changes.
Simple as it is, Live Auctioneers needs to Stand Behind The Sellers That They Are Supporting and ALSO OFFER MEDIATION FOR COMPLAINTS. Something Also Needs To Be Done To Allow Buyers To Leave Feedback For Sellers!
The name Live Auctioneers advertises and implies that they are an online site for smaller reputable auction houses to sell worldwide. Their FALSE ADVERTISING AS TO WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE IS MISLEADING FOR BUYERS. In reality, the auctions that I bid on did not even have an actual licensed auctioneer as the bidding agreement implies. The agreements in all of the auctions that I bid in had a statement that "the auctioneer has the final say in any auction or lot". When I read "auctioneer" I actually thought that Live Auctioneers supplied real auctioneers. When I called Live Auctioneers I was told that each State has it's own licensing requirements and a licensed auctioneer may not be necessary in the State where the seller is located.
Another Solution Is To Have Everything SPELLED OUT AS TO WHO LIVE AUCTIONEERS IS! I had to Google Live Auctioneers to actually get a phone number to their administrative office. This is not a good sign that they do not have a phone number to contact them on their site.
In doing a Google search on Live Auctioneer complaints, I also found actual law suits filed against them by some of their sellers, for THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
Ebay originally had Live Auctioneers and got rid of it. I am seeing actual law suits from sellers and many complaints from buyers with no recourse. I am not an attorney, but it seems to me that currently this is all about money for Live Auctioneers and nothing else. Live Auctioneers needs to: TOTALLY RE-DO THEIR VENUE TO FULLY INFORM THE BUYERS AS TO WHAT THEIR POSITION IS AND MORE TRANSPARENCY NEEDS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYERS AS TO WHO THE SELLERS ACTUALLY ARE. SELLER PROTECTION IS TOTALLY MISSING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED AND DESCRIBED IN THEIR POLICIES.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

HOL2068 - Oracle Database Snapshot and Cloning with Oracle Snap Management Utility October 26, (Monday) 2:00 PM - Hotel Nikko - Ballroom IHOL2068 Lab Manual
The blog post serves as a follow-up to Deploying MySQL over NFS using the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance. The benefits remain the same which means this discussion will focus completely on configuring your Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and database server.
Configuring the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
Depending on which block protocol you plan on using, set up target and initiator groups per the following documentation:
These instructions assume you are using a target and initiator group called 'mysql-tgt' and 'mysql-init'
1. From the ZFS controller's CLI, create a project called 'mysql':
zfs:> shares project mysql
2. Set logbias to latency to leverage write flash capabilities:
zfs:shares mysql (uncommitted)> set logbias=latency logbias = latency (uncommitted)
3. Commit the settings:
zfs:shares mysql (uncommitted)> commit
4. Select the 'mysql' project:
zfs:> shares select mysql
5. Create a LUN called 'innodb-data' to hold data files:
zfs:shares mysql> lun innodb-data
6. Set the volume block record size to 16K to match Innodb's standard page size:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> set volblocksize=16K volblocksize = 16K (uncommitted)
7. Set the volume size to a value large enough to accommodate your database:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> set volsize=1T volsize = 1T (uncommitted)
8. Set the initiator and target groups:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> set initiatorgroup=mysql-init initiatorgroup = 1T (uncommitted) zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> set targetgroup=mysql-tgt initiatorgroup = 1T (uncommitted) zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> commit
9. Create a LUN called 'innodb-log' to hold the redo logs:
zfs:shares mysql> lun innodb-log
10. Set the volume block record size to 128K:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-log (uncommitted)> set volblocksize=128K volblocksize = 128K (uncommitted)
11. Set the volume size to a value large enough to accommodate your database:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-log (uncommitted)> set volsize=256G volsize = 256G (uncommitted) zfs:shares mysql/innodb-log (uncommitted)> commit
Configuring your database server
1. A directory structure should be created to contain the MySQL database:
# mkdir -p /mysql/san/innodb-data # mkdir -p /mysql/san/innodb-log # chown -R mysql:mysql /mysql/san
2. If using iSCSI, login to the ZFS Storage Appliance:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p zfssa-ip-address # iscsiadm -m node -p zfssa-ip-address -login
3. The multipath configuration held in /etc/multipath.conf should contain the following:
defaults { find_multipaths yes user_friendly_names yes } devices { device { vendor "SUN" product "ZFS Storage 7430" getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id --page=0x83 --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n" prio alua hardware_handler "1 alua" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio failback immediate no_path_retry 600 rr_min_io 100 path_checker tur rr_weight uniform features "0" } }
4. Discover the LUNs with multipath. This may require a restart of the multipath service to take in the new configuration changes.
# multipath -ll mpatha (3600144f0fa2f948b0000537cdb970008) dm-2 SUN,ZFS Storage 7430 size=1.0T features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active | `-0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled | `-0:0:1:0 sdc 8:32 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled | `-1:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active ready running `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled `-1:0:1:0 sdg 8:96 active ready running mpathb (3600144f0fa2f948b0000537cdbc10009) dm-3 SUN,ZFS Storage 7430 size=256G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active | `-0:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled | `-0:0:1:1 sdd 8:48 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled | `-1:0:0:1 sdf 8:80 active ready running `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled `-1:0:1:1 sdh 8:112 active ready running
5. Align each LUN on a 32 byte boundary, specifying multiples of 256 for each partition. This is documented more extensively in Aligning Partitions to Maximize Performance, page 31.
# fdisk -u -S 32 /dev/dm-2 # fdisk -u -S 32 /dev/dm-3
6. Build an XFS filesystem* on top of each LUN for the full device path on the first partition:
# mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/mpathap1 # mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/mpathbp1* XFS is preferred on Linux. ZFS is preferred on Solaris.
7. Mount each LUN either from a shell or automatically from /etc/fstab:
# mount -t xfs -o noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mysql/san/innodb-data # mount -t xfs -o noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k /dev/mapper/mpathbp1 /mysql/san/innodb-logThat's it. Refer to the previous blog post to understand how to setup the MySQL database once these filesystems are mounted. In a future blog post, I'll cover how to backup your MySQL database using snapshots and cloning.
The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance supports NFS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel access to a MySQL database. By consolidating the storage of MySQL databases onto the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance, the following goals can be achieved:
1. Expand and contract storage space easily in a pooled environment.
2. Focus high-end caching on the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance to simplify provisioning.
3. Eliminate network overhead by leveraging Infiniband and Fibre Channel connectivity.
This blog post will focus specifically on NFS. A followup post will discuss iSCSI and Fibre Channel.
Configuring the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
Each database should be contained in its own project.
1. From the ZFS controller's CLI, create a project called 'mysql'.
zfs:> shares project mysql
2. Set logbias to latency to leverage write flash capabilities:
zfs:shares mysql (uncommitted)> set logbias=latency logbias = latency (uncommitted)
3. Set the default user to mysql and default group to mysql:
zfs:shares mysql (uncommitted)> set default_user=mysql default_user = mysql (uncommitted) zfs:shares mysql (uncommitted)> set default_group=mysql default_group = mysql (uncommitted)
Note: If a name service such as LDAP or NIS is not being used, change these to the actual UID and GID found in /etc/passwd and /etc/group on the host.
4. Disable 'Update access time on read':
zfs:shares mysql> set atime=false atime = false (uncommitted)
5. Commit the changes:
zfs:shares mysql> commit
6. Create a filesystem called innodb-data to hold data files:
zfs:shares mysql> filesystem innodb-data
7. Set the database record size to 16K to match Innodb's standard page size:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> set recordsize=16K recordsize = 16K (uncommitted) zfs:shares mysql/innodb-data (uncommitted)> commit
8. Create a filesystem called 'innodb-log' to hold redo logs:
zfs:shares mysql> filesystem innodb-log
9. Set the database record size to 128K:
zfs:shares mysql/innodb-log (uncommitted)> set recordsize=128K recordsize = 128K (uncommitted) zfs:shares mysql/innodb-log (uncommitted)> commit
Configuring the server
This example assumes a Linux server will be running the MySQL database. The following commands are roughly the same for a Solaris machine:
1. A directory structure should be created to contain the MySQL database:
# mkdir –p /mysql/nas/innodb-data # mkdir –p /mysql/nas/innodb-log # chown –R mysql:mysql /mysql/nas
2. Each filesystem provisioned on the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance should be mounted with the following options:
rw,bg,hard,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,nointr,timeo=600,tcp, actimeo =0,nolock
3. This should be supplied in /etc/fstab in order to be mounted automatically at boot, or it can be run manually from a shell like so:
# mount –t nfs –o rw,bg,hard,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,nointr, timeo=600,tcp,actimeo =0,nolock zfs:/export/innodb-data /mysql/nas/innodb-data # mount –t nfs –o rw,bg,hard,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,nointr, timeo=600,tcp,actimeo =0,nolock zfs:/export/innodb-log /mysql/nas/innodb-log
Configuring the MySQL databaseThe option file my.cnf should be modified to offload the database onto the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and to make additional tunings for optimal performance. Prior to changing this file, MySQL should be stopped and restarted once completed.
# service mysql stop # service mysql start
Important my.cnf changes
1. innodb_doublewrite = 0
A double write buffer is necessary in the event of partial page writes. However, the transactional nature of ZFS guarantees that partial writes will never occur. This can be safely disabled.
2. innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
Ensures that InnoDB calls directio() instead of fcntl() for the data files. This allows the data to be accessed without OS level buffering and read-ahead.
3. innodb_data_home_dir = /path/to/innodb-data
The data filesystem for InnoDB should be located on its own share or LUN on the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance.
4. innodb_log_group_home_dir = /path/to/innodb-log
The log filesystem for InnoDB should be located on its own share or LUN on the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance.
5. innodb_data_file_path = ibdatafile:1G:autoextend
This configures a single large tablespace for InnoDB. The ZFS controller is then responsible for managing the growth of new data. This eliminates the complexity needed for controlling multiple tablespaces.
You can also download the following example my.cnf file to get started.
Testing with SysbenchSysbench is a handy benchmark tool for generating a database workload. To fill a test database, run the following command:
# sysbench \ --test=oltp \ --oltp-table-size=1000000 \ --mysql-db=test \ --mysql-user=root \ --mysql-password= \ prepareOnce filled, create an OLTP workload with the following command and parameters:
# sysbench \ --test=oltp \ --oltp-table-size=1000000 \ --oltp-test-mode=complex \ --oltp-read-only=off \ --num-threads=128 \ --max-time=3600 \ --max-requests=0 \ --mysql-db=test \ --mysql-user=root \ --mysql-password= \ --mysql-table-engine=innodb \ run
The Analytics feature of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance offers an unprecedented level of observability into your database workload. This can assist in identifying performance bottlenecks based on the utilization of your network, hardware, and storage protocols. Its drill-down functionality can also narrow the focus of a MySQL instance into a workload's operation type (read/write), I/O pattern (sequential / random), response latency, and I/O size for both the data and log files. At any point in time, a DBA can track a database instance at an incredibly granular level.
Once you have a single database installed, you can try creating more instances to analyze your I/O patterns. Run separate sysbench processes for each database and then use Analytics to monitor the differences between workloads.

I've been looking to build a network attached storage (NAS) device for some time to store all my music, photos, films, etc. in one global location. I had a few specific requirements that were as follows:
There are a few ready-to-go NAS solutions available on the market that are compatible with my demands. The Linksys NAS200, at $130, supports two disks with Twonky Media server for UPnP and is low power. The downside is that reviews indicate it being very slow and it comes with no gigabit ethernet. On the high-end side, however, the QNAP TS-209 Pro also comes with the two disk slots, UPnP support, is fast, along with a bunch of extra goodies like samba and an Itunes server. The price tag at $400 makes it a bit too much for a diskless system, so I decided on a different solution... why not build it myself?
I had a Thermaltake LANBOX Lite Mini-ITX/ATX case lying around along with a 200W power supply, so all I needed to do was find some cheap, low power hardware to support it. Intel recently released a new type of processor called the Atom, which is aimed at bringing x86 into the embedded market. I'm not so sure how successful they will be at this venture, but it fits my needs perfectly. According to their specs, it draws 2W TDP for the 1.6ghz version which is pretty amazing. The power output turns out to be a bit of marketing hype, but considering it is now being used in the ASUS Eee desktop and laptops, it should prove to be a viable candidate. To encourage the hobbyist market, Intel created a combo of motherboard + Atom (BOXD945GCLF) that is available on Newegg for $75. After getting it along with a pair of 1TB drives at $170, I had a workable system shipped to me for under $500.
My first reaction when I got all the parts is that the Intel board is TINY. I can fit my hand around entire thing. Even in the media center case that I use, it has quite a bit of extra room.
The LANBOX Lite is fully modular which makes installation much easier. If you have ever built a computer from scratch, then you probably understand how tedious it can be to screw in motherboards, install drives, etc. This case allows you to pull every section out to make installation a breeze. It also comes with a nice silo to install both the terabyte drives.
The next step is to turn this into a fully functional NAS. After installing FreeBSD 7.0, I wanted to setup both my disks to mirror. Since the BSD family has such a friendly license, ZFS is included in the distribution. And ZFS mirroring makes things incredibly simple to setup.
[root@bojangles ~]# zpool attach tank ad4s1d ad6s1dAnd that's it! Now to ensure that things went as expected.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Italian surname Fabbrini is derived from the Latin word "faber," meaning "craftsman," and as such, it was likely an occupational name first born by someone who was an iron worker, or some kind of craftsman.
The surname Fabbrini was first found in Modena (Etruscan: Mutna; Latin: Mutina; Modenese: Mòdna), a city in Emilia capital of the province of Modena. It became Roman in 215 B. C. It was successfully defended by Brutus against Mark Anthony. It changed hands many times between Church and Duchy. In 1859 the inhabitants declared in favor of unity with the Kingdom of Italy. The Ducal Palace is a notable. Rich in art the city has many museums and galleries. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time was in itself a family honor.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Fabbri, Fabbro, Fabbris, Fabri, Fabro, Fabrey, Fabre, Fabris, Faber, Favro, Faveri, Favero, Favaro, Frau, Fabretto, Favret, Favarin, Fabbrini, Fabbrin, Fabbrucci and many more.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Before you know it, the cold weather will be here, and unfortunately, that means sewer problems for some homeowners.
But it's not too late to prevent an expensive catastrophe.
This is a great time of year to think about replacing your old sewer pipes. And here is the good news: There is now a less destructive way to do it, too!
Trenchless sewer repair is the way way to fix old pipes without destroying your yard, patio or driveway. A plumber uses a fiberglass tube coated with a resin that's inserted into a damaged pipe and is blown up like a balloon. After a few hours, it hardens and creates a new pipe within a pipe.
This costs 30 to 50 percent more than traditional repair, but depending on your yard, it could be worth it.
"When evaluating which method is right for sewer repair, consider the cost of the landscaping or any sidewalks or your driveway that might need to be replaced if they are going to use the traditional method," said Angie Hicks of Angie's List. "If it's going to cost a third of the cost of the sewer replacement in order to replace the landscaping and the concrete ... then you should go with trenchless."
How long a sewer lasts depends on various factors, but if your sewer is more than 40 years old , it may need replacing.
Before hiring anyone, though, check with your homeowner's insurance policy because some cover sewer pipe repair or replacement.

BIF Question
I'm fortunate enough to have had a family of Mountain Bluebirds take up residence in a bit of rain gutter that fits under a roof in my backyard. I've set up a camera that lines up with some trees that are 25 feet directly in front of me. The parents land in a tree top and then fly off at about a 45 degree angle to the nest. I've managed to get off a few shots that are in focus, but think it is more luck than skill.
I use AF-ON focusing and have tried 9,21,51 and 51-3D focus points along with shutter speeds of 1/3200 and 1/4000. I know that I can raise the shutter speed, but then I get in to very high ISOs. None of the focus point choices seems superior to the others.
My method is to keep the AF-ON button pressed in and focused on the bird. The shutter is pressed when the bird flies. I'm getting about 1 in 100 that are sharp or reasonably so. The birds don't give any indication of flight before they rocket off.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to improve, I'd be most happy to listen and try. Camera and lens combo is a D4 and 500 f/4 with 1.4 TC. Thanks, Richard

Nice shots.
I would probably shoot at 1/2000 or so and try to get your aperture closed a little more. The larger the number, the smaller the "hole" but the greater depth of field.
Spending some time panning with the birds is time well spent. You get better at doing it and you get a greater % of shots in focus.
One more thing: I watch for the natural patterns of their flight. I have a Jay, which flies over this hedge, lands in a tree and then soars down onto my feeder.

It's not how many shots it took, it's 'did you get the shot?' You did!
This is a tricky situation. Predictive focusing needs time to calculate how fast the object is moving toward the camera then predicts where the object will be from the time you press the shutter to the time the image is made. The more time you give the camera to calculate the better the chances. That means the more distance the object has to move through the field of view the better the results.
Your bird is moving very fast and at an angle that leaves little time for focusing.
You could try more of a side shot as in image 1 so the bird moves across the viewfinder instead of toward the camera.
Image 3 shows the head a little soft and the tree sharper. If a bird is going to fly toward you try this:
Use 21 point, focus on the perched bird. Now manually move the focus point just in front of the bird where you predict it should fly. This is a guess but you should be able to get very close. Start firing when the bird starts to lift and when it is in your focus point push AF-on. Tricky, but worth a try.
For a side shot, set your Focus Tracking to LONG, keep the bird in the focus point and pan as it leaves the perch.
Use the highest shutter speed possible. You're using 700mm in full frame at a close distance. If you shoot in DX it will accentuate motion. Little birds fly extremely fast as shown in image 2 wing motion.
Keep having fun and experimenting with different settings. You will find what works for you and you will 'get the shot'

I agree with the other posts. And I think you should be thinking the other way around.
Shoot at 1/2000 minimum. Stop down a couple of stops. Use 9 focus points to start, try 21 just for fun. Forget about 51, that just slows the AF system down. Let the ISO go as high as necessary (this is a great situation for auto ISO). Get the shot. A good noisy capture is better than a noise-free miss. For that matter, with a D4 I would not worry about noise until you near ISO 6400.
Once you reach a higher rate of keepers — and I am not suggesting that one out of a hundred is bad — you can begin to widen the aperture and lower the ISO.
BTW, these images are great!

Dan, Jimi and Jon: many thanks for the detailed suggestions. I tried a number of things and the two that worked best for me were orienting the sensor to be more parallel to the bird's flight and upping the shutter speed to 1/8000. Even at 1/8000 shutter speed, the bird was often partly out of the frame by the second shot. What didn't work was trying to pan. The birds are just too fast and erratic in their flight.
I tried re-locating the focus point as Jimi suggested but found that I need a faster me or slower birds. They rocket off the branch and as they give no forewarning, it was impossible for me to get the two button press co-ordinated in time for a good shot.
I'll try one more variable as Jimi suggested, by upping the lock on to Long.
In any event, I got some better shots. Out of 50, 4 look good. Thanks again, to all. Richard

What are you complaining about??? These are fine.
Compared to traditional BIF shots, where the photographer picks up the bird in the air and pans across the frame, you are at a huge disadvantage trying to react to a stationary bird that suddenly takes off. I've gotten a couple of those, pure luck.

#7. "suggestion RE: BIF Question" | In response to Reply # 0
The shots you're already getting are terrific but here's another suggestion. From your description it sounds like you have the advantage of the birds flying a relatively set path each time they take off. That should allow you to pre-focus on a selected point along that flight path and then just have your camera pointed at that spot so that when the bird goes you pull the trigger and it flies through your focus zone. If the take off point is outside your frame of view you'll have to keep both eyes open so that you detect the departure. Many birds telegraph there intention to take wing so watch closely for those signs and use them to your advantage in timing your trigger reaction.
If you don't go you won't get anything

Aart and Brandt: thanks for your comments and suggestions. Brant, focus trapping would be difficult with these birds. They give no forewarning of takeoff and don't follow a predictable path. Richard

Tim Bradley: If Khan Stops Peterson, He's The Real Deal!
By Pawel Pronishev
WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley is the only boxer to defeat Lamont Peterson in the ring, by decision, two years ago. On Saturday night in Washington, DC, Peterson challenges Bradley's main rival, WBA/IBF 140-pound champion Amir Khan. Although Peterson has had some good performances since losing to Bradley, Khan is the overwhelming favorite to win. Even Bradley himself is picking Khan to win and gives the British the edge with his faster hands. Bradley picks Khan by decision, but says a knockout win will erase any doubts about Khan's status as an elite fighter.
"His movement and quickness and jab will give him problems," Bradley told The Desert Sun. "Peterson will come and make it a hell of a fight and he has a chance for an upset, but Khan is polished. Peterson will have a good chance, but I favor Khan because he's quicker and he throws his combinations and he gets in and out. That's what I did when I fought Peterson. I'd be surprised if he stopped Peterson. If he stops him, then he's the real deal. But [Peterson is] tough and this is his second opportunity to fight on the big stage for a world title. And it is in his back yard. He will be motivated to put on a good show and fight hard."
So yeah........A lot of great posts in this thread.Comment by BoxingGenius27 on 12-11-2011

They illegally debited the payoff payment of $1595.00 twice. When we called they hung up on us 3 times. On the third time the manager who we spoke with told us that she was "Ending the call" because we told her the funds had been illegally removed. On the 4th call we placed to the company they gave us a bogus fax number.
GE Capital is unethical, illegal, and unprofessional, and beyond everything else, genuinely disinterested in ensuring a positive customer experience.
Do not use this company.

David Haye: I Broke The Jaw of Idiot Chisora's Trainer!
By Nick Parkinson, courtesy of The Daily Star
DAVID HAYE has boasted he broke the jaw of Dereck 'Del Boy' Chisora's trainer during their brawl in Munich.
Chisora and Haye scrapped at a post-fight press conference in Germany three months ago and will now settle their differences in a controversial clash at West Ham United's Upton Park ground on July 14.
The London heavyweights, who do not hold a boxing licence between them, are set to collide in a bout the British Boxing Board of Control vehemently opposes, due to their bare knuckle dust-up.
During the ugly scenes in Germany, Haye claims he broke the jaw of Chisora's coach Don Charles as he heaped more scorn on his bitter rival.
He said: "Chisora has an idiotic coach who has also offered me out in a fight after I've already broken his jaw at the press conference.
"I'm not sure if anyone knows he had his jaw wired because it was broken. Idiot.
"Why is he, a 50-year-old man, trying to fight me when he has already seen me take out his young, 28-year-old, primed fighter with four blows? Then he wants to come and fight me. Now he has done a video on the internet saying, 'I want to fight David. I know it won't make any money but I'll kick his a***'.
"This is the guy who is training him, so these two idiots together, two buffoons, can you imagine them in the gym?
"Two ego-maniacs, idiotic fools both of them – and you can expect plenty of the same on fight night, Chisora walking forward, hoping that he's going to hit me with one big punch that he hasn't really got."
Boxing bad-boy Chisora has previously been banned for biting opponent Paul Butlin in 2009 and has kissed another opponent.
He slapped Vitali Klitschko at a pre-fight weigh-in and on the day of the same fight in February this year spat water into the face of Klitschko's brother, Wladimir.
Chisora, 28, was convicted of assaulting a former girlfriend and given 150 hours' community service in 2010 and Haye, 31, claims he will dedicate victory to women who have been beaten by men.
He added: "If there's an opportunity for Dereck to get within arms' reach of me he will do something at the weigh-in or press conference.
"I don't know what logically goes on in his brain. He's not a nice guy and this fight will be dedicated to all the women who have been beaten – and people who have been bullied – by men like Dereck Chisora. This one goes out to them.
"I've always had respect for opponents as human beings, even though I don't let them know it.
"But there's nothing to like about this guy. He has no social graces and for me to say that, someone who is supposed to be a real bad guy, apparently, shows how bad he is."

"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"The photos do not do them justice...they were absolutely stunning! The pearlized paper finish was totally worth the extra cost for both the invitations and the envelopes. The matching stickers perfectly fit my theme with a custom saying. The designer was prompt and accommodating with special requests with regard to verbiage and design. I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome and received many compliments on them."
"Designed this card for my best friend's shower. Even worked with a designer to tweak some of the color in the flowers as well as the font sizes. It turned out beautifully and the entire process was simple and stress free. The standard paper and envelopes are great too. The only thing I paid a little extra for was to round the edges. It's really a beautiful card. I am extremely satisfied!"
"I worked with Demi (designer) and she was quick to respond to my personal request of changing the color slightly. I was very pleased with her and the overall product. Thank you!"
"I love my shower invites. They came super fast! The quality is nice and the lay out was perfect. I love how these invites have pops of color threw out it, thats what were doing with our wedding colors. "Just a little pop of color here and there""
