[Solaris] Memory Blacklisting, Duplicate IP Address & Recovery, Group Package Installations, ..
By Giri Mandalika-Oracle on Dec 30, 2015
Memory blacklist operation
To check if memory blacklist operation by LDoms Manager (
ldm) is in progress, run:
echo "zeus ::print -a zeus_t mem_blacklist_inprog" | mdb -p `pgrep ldmd`
If no blacklist operation is in progress, the above may return output that is similar to:
<hex-address> mem_blacklist_inprog = 0 (false)
When a memory blacklist operation is in progress, the above may return output that is similar to:
<hex-address> mem_blacklist_inprog = 0x1 (true)
In such a situation, any attempt to run
ldm commands related to memory management may fail with error:
A memory blacklist operation is being processed. Other memory operations are disabled until it completes
Sometimes a power cycle may clear the blacklist operation. In not-so-lucky situations, the affected DIMM(s) may have to be serviced.

Duplicate IP Address & Recovery
If two nodes [running Solaris] on a network share the same IP address, Solaris kernel detects the duplicate address, marks it as
duplicate and eventually disables and turns off the IP interface if the problem persists. These actions are typically recorded in the system log with warnings such as the following.
Dec 23 16:46:18 some-host ip: [ID 759807 kern.warning] WARNING: net0 has duplicate address xx.xx.xx.xx (in use by 00:10:e0:5d:9c:83); disabled Dec 23 16:46:18 some-host in.routed[737]: [ID 238047 daemon.warning] interface net0 to xx.xx.xx.xx turned off
When the IP interface was disabled/turned off,
ipadm show-if shows
down state for that interface.
Once the problem was discovered and fixed [by the administrator or user] to avoid duplication of IP address, Solaris kernel enables and brings up the IP interface that it turned off earlier upon detecting a duplicate IP address. This action too is recorded in the system log.
Dec 23 16:51:18 some-host ip: [ID 636139 kern.notice] NOTICE: recovered address ::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xx on net0
Once the system marks an interface down due to the conflicting IP address in a remote system, the local system periodically checks to see if the conflict persists. In Solaris 11.3, the time between the checks is 300,000 milliseconds (300 seconds or 5 minutes). However in some cases waiting for 5 minutes might not be desirable. In such cases, the time between the duplicate IP address checks can be tuned by modifying the IP tunable parameter,
_dup_recovery, to appropriate value.
Reduce the
_dup_recovery value to 90 seconds.
Temporary change (non-persistent)
# ndd -get /dev/ip ip_dup_recovery 300000 # ndd -set /dev/ip ip_dup_recovery 90000 # ndd -get /dev/ip ip_dup_recovery 90000
Permanent change (persistent across reboots)
# ipadm show-prop -p _dup_recovery ip PROTO PROPERTY PERM CURRENT PERSISTENT DEFAULT POSSIBLE ip _dup_recovery rw 300000 -- 300000 0-3600000 # ipadm set-prop -p _dup_recovery=90000 ip # ipadm show-prop -p _dup_recovery ip PROTO PROPERTY PERM CURRENT PERSISTENT DEFAULT POSSIBLE ip _dup_recovery rw 90000 90000 300000 0-3600000
Notice the slight difference in parameter names when
ndd and
ipadm were used to tune the same value.
Solaris OS: What Group Package was Installed?
pkg list on target system shows this information.
# pkg list | grep "group/system/solaris" | grep server group/system/solaris-minimal-server 0.5.11-0.175.3.1.0.5.0 i--
List all packages that are part of the group package that was installed by running:
pkg list -as `pkg contents -r -H -o fmri -t depend -a type=group <group-package>`
List available group packages to install Solaris server:
# pkg search solaris-*-server | awk '{ print $3 "\t" $4}' VALUE PACKAGE solaris/group/system/solaris-large-server pkg:/firstname.lastname@example.com solaris/group/system/solaris-minimal-server pkg:/firstname.lastname@example.com solaris/group/system/solaris-small-server pkg:/firstname.lastname@example.com
solaris-large-serverprovides an Oracle Solaris large server environment that contain all of the common network services that an enterprise server must provide. Hardware drivers that are required for servers such as InfiniBand drivers are also part of this group package.
solaris-small-serverinstalls a smaller set of packages on a server and provides command-line environment
solaris-minimal-serverinstalls the smallest possible set of Solaris packages which provides a minimal command-line environment
In addition to the above,
solaris/group/system/solaris-desktop group package provides Solaris desktop environment. This package contains the GNOME desktop environment that includes GUI applications such as web browsers and mail clients, and drivers for graphics and audio devices.
Keep in mind that
solaris-desktop group package has a lot more packages compared to the other three group packages outlined above.
Solaris OS: What AI Manifest was Used?
On target system, locate the AI manifest file that was used to perform the Solaris installation at:
Installation log can also be found in the same directory.
Package History

Ski rescue legislation efforts seen waning
MONTPELIER The support for recouping the cost of rescuing lost out-of-bound skiers has waned.
Three bills were proposed this session that would assign financial and sometimes criminal responsibility when skiers and snowboarders travel outside boundaries and become lost.
Rep. Larry Townsend, D-Randolph, and Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, introduced bills that would fine skiers and snowboarders up to $500 for going out of bounds at a Vermont resort. Mullins bill has been withdrawn, and Townsend said he was not going to pursue his.
Rep. Thomas Terenzini, R-Rutland, proposed a bill that would hold a ski resort responsible for paying the rescue crews if a skier or snowboarder got lost on its mountain.MORE IN Central VermontWATERBURY Youre never going to take the water out of Waterbury, but five years after a...

Talk:Endy:Preparing Antibiotic Stocks
From OpenWetWare
Revision as of 12:16, 4 February 2008 by Hugh Kingston (Talk | contribs)
* Stock concentration - 34mg/ml in 100% Ethanol * Aliquots - 1ml * Working concentration = 25μ/ml (Stringent), 170μ/ml (relaxed)
Are stringent and relaxed the wrong way around...?
- Jason R. Kelly 07:08, 17 January 2008 (CST): I think it's right. Relaxed plasmids are normally higher copy, so you'd expect a higher concentration of antibiotic for them.
- hugh kingston 10:16, 4 February 2008 (CST): ok. i did not realise stringent and relaxed were types of plasmid, rather i thought the words referred to the strength of selection for the marker.

I noticed that Google Analytics for WordPress has Shopp eCommerce plugin support that enables conversion tracking, but it doesn't work on Shopp v1.2.9, the version I have.
I have a fix for this problem – I applied this fix and it works on my site.
You need to change the two lines in the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin file frontend/class-frontend.php function shopp_transaction_tracking that read:
if ( function_exists( 'is_shopp_page' ) && !is_shopp_page( 'checkout' ) ) return $push;

Be The Worst You Can Be: Life's Too Long for Patience and Virtue, by Charles Saatchi, Booth-Clibborn Editions, RRP£9.99, 160 pages
Charles Saatchi is the consummate adman. As co-founder of Saatchi & Saatchi, he came up with the 1979 Tory slogan "Labour isn't Working" and defined much of the 1980s.
In 1985 he opened his first art gallery and in 1997 he propelled the Young British Artists on to the world stage with an exhibition at the Royal Academy suitably entitled Sensation.
Like Damien Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" – his infamous shark currently on show at Tate Modern in London – Saatchi is often regarded as something of an art-world predator, a very big fish in a pretty small tank.
Be The Worst You Can Be is an adman's book: it's an illustrated, gilt-edged Q&A, all style over substance. In it, Saatchi (rather selectively) answers questions posed by nameless readers and journalists, all the while glibly maintaining his enigmatic, controversialist and morally detached Oz-like alter ego.

He said there was no hidden cost or fees. The service he sold for checks was for .20 per check and 20.00 per month. He said they would also collect any checks I had in my posession. The credit card service was at 1.79% and .18 per transaction. They sent equiptment that was not properly programed, and we were unable to process debit cards as debit, had to process as a credit card.
When I received my first bill, it was wrong and I called them. They had over charged on every item. Every service was more costly than what I had with Tel Check. He had told me when he sold the service the fees that were billed by other servers or companies would not show up on their bills. They did and when I ask about them I was told it was on all bills.
When I called about the check processing, I was told I did not have a guarantee service, which James Morgan sold me, at a less expensive cost, but I had a verification service. Which there is not guarantee on.
I have spent serveral hours trying to work with Integrity and Scan, I have wrote to customer service, to Jeff Freitas, and Robert Wood. I have wrote to Robert Wood three times with no response. I have received response from Jeff Freitas one time, and this was inresponse to service sold by James Morgan. He supported the manner in which James lied and misrepresented service he sold and comparision he made. I have yet to receive a response from last complaint in November of 05.
I have copies of all correspondense I have sent to companies and any response from them as well. They have not straighted out any issue not have they made any effort to correct any problems.
He lied when he did his comparision to get me to change my service. He lied about what his service included and the cost involved. He was not honest about the comparision. Had he been honest no one would change to his service. He misrepresented everything he sold and what the service was. The company supports him and his method of switching business to their service. He committed fraud in his sale and solitication of the service Integrity has and provides.The company has failed to remedy the problems.
They do not respond to my request. They do not respond to issues I have with James Morgan and the lies he told in selling services that would be provided. He gave false cost and misrepresented the service involved.

First issue cover
|Publication information
|Top Cow Productions
|First appearance
|Cyberforce #1 (Oct. 1992)
|Created by
|Marc Silvestri
|In-story information
Cyberforce is an Image Comics superhero team created by writer/artist Marc Silvestri in 1992.[1][2]
Publication history[edit]
Cyberforce is a comic book series created by Marc Silvestri. Initially written and illustrated by Silvestri, he later turned his duties over to other artists, including David Finch.[3]
The comic was originally published in 1992-93 as a four-part mini-series through Homage Studios.[citation needed] After Silvestri founded Top Cow Productions, Cyberforce ran as a monthly series from 1994 to 1997 running 35 issues. The first few issues crossed over with Wild C.A.T.s for the "Killer Instinct" storyline spanning Wild C.A.T.S #5-7 and Cyberforce vol. 2 #1-3.[citation needed]
In 2007, the series was revived, written by Ron Marz and drawn by Alex Milne.[citation needed]
On October 17, 2012, Top Cow debuted the fourth volume of a rebooted Cyberforce as part of the company's "Top Cow Rebirth" initiative. Made possible through a Kickstarter campaign, the first five issues were released for free.[4][5] Silvestri provided cyberpunk-influenced art for the rebooted series, while Khoi Pham was brought aboard as illustrator after five years of exclusive work for Marvel Comics.[6] The first issue received a positive review from Benjamin Bailey of IGN, who described the post-apocalyptic setting as both interesting and genuine. Bailey commented that he enjoyed the story's structure but that the characters were not fully fleshed out. The book itself offered readers sufficient reason to anticipate a second issue, which Bailey hoped would focus more on character development. Commenting on Pham's art, he cited some inconsistencies, particularly with respect to renderings of technology.[7]
On July 6, 2015, Top Cow announced that Cyberforce would be relaunched in fall of 2015 as a digital-only series written by Matt Hawkins.[8][9]
Fictional team biography[edit]
Volumes one & two[edit]
The original comic book focused on a team of mutants who were captured by Cyberdata, an enormous corporation planning to take over the world. The mutants were experimented on and had their abilities enhanced with cybernetic implants in hopes to become S.H.O.C.s (Special Hazardous Operations Cyborgs).[citation needed] The mutants subsequently escaped and banded together as Cyberforce, determined to defeat Cyberdata.[citation needed]
Volume three[edit]
The 2006 series began with the team's return from their final mission and centered on a confrontation with their alien forebears.[citation needed] The team was given an updated look, a new base of operations, and changes to its roster.[citation needed] Heatwave, Stryker and Impact served as recurring characters throughout the series, while important subplots included the death of Impact and the initiation of a romantic relationship between Ripclaw and Velocity.[citation needed]
Volume four[edit]
In October 2012, a rebooted version of the comic was released that incorporated elements of cyberpunk.[citation needed]

A half-hour Cyberforce animated series was planned for the 1995–96 season on Fox Television as part of an hour-long block that would also have featured a Youngblood series.[10][11] Although completed character designs and a model sheet were featured in magazines, the series never progressed past the planning stages.[citation needed]

Fantastic cookies!!! Every Christmas my Mom made a similar type of cookie, thumbprint cookies, which I now make and these are as good, if not better. I looked up our recipe and it is the same except for it uses part shortening and part butter. Using my cookie scoop, it made about 20 cookies. This recipe made as a "Thank You" to my dear PAC Mom!!!
Hi there, these are really nice cookies. I used butter rather than marg, and coconut to roll them in, I didn't have any red jam so I used yellow, and I think they look kind of pretty. They are a very crispy cookie, very short, and you don't want just one you want more. I could of been really greedy but I resisted after the three you see on the plate. Thank you for posting. Made for ZWT#6 2010.

That's right. 33 ^@#&% cents!! Under $80 dollars doesn't even come close to the strong arm tactics we've gotten over the years. Its my mother's house, but we've been at this crap before they had a name for it. (predatory lending).
To back up a bit, like so many here I've watched my mother send in payments 3 weeks early, only to get hit with a late charge. We sent payments in that required a signature, and those bastards still posted it late. I've watched ,my mother's health decline. Its not from old age, she's only 66. From worrying all the time and not seeing an end in sight has taken its toll on her. Her hair is thinning and she has lost a few teeth. I blaim this company for this. She could of been retired by now. My mother's a good person, she doesn't deserve to be treated like ^&%.
Some years ago, Aames sent a letter and said they had the loan now, then some months later, a letter from Fairbanks came in saying they had the loan. After some time with crappy service, Aames sent another letter claiming the loan. A few years before the class action suit, Fairbanks came back in the picture, got sued, changed their name and low and behold there was Aames again.
Now Aames, Fairbanks /SPS all say they are seperate companies. Yeah right. They have the same 800#, sometime same address not to mention the same rusty knife used to stab one of us in the back while the other is held one up by the ankles for more.
A wopping 11.1% is what we have been trying to get out of for the longest. Everyone has "deals" now, but after been raked over the coals by Aames and Fairbanks we're almost back were we started.
Aames, Fairbanks, Select, (tony soprano?)...suck royal eggs. From where I stand, the government doesn't care about the little people. If they did,they would of thrown the crooks in jail, put those rude customer service reps on the unemployment line, bulldozed their buildings and given my mother a check to make up for what they've put her through, instead of the slap in the face and getting done with out a kiss, for 33 cents.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Aames Home Loans is not acting alone
AUTHOR: Lana - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, May 23, 2005POSTED: Monday, May 23, 2005
I applaude you and share your concerns. I urge you to keep on fighting for your mom against this ugly monster! I've done some research, and the scary thing is that Aames, Fairbanks, and a long list of others like Countrywide, Equifax, on and on are only satilitte subsidiary companies acting for investors. All these companies are "loan servicers" and "debt collectors".
The investors they work for are filthy stinking rich and want more, they are motivated by greed. A huge corporation fueled by greed has no conscience, as hundreds, maybe thousands of unsuspecting consumers have come to find out the hard way. The investors are the source of your woes, they only care about lining thier wallets with stolen money.
My mortgage was part of that Fairbanks suit, but I opted out. Thank God, but nevertheless, it has no bearing on what has happened to your mom since the settlement. I want to help you help your mom. I know you are angry and insulted by the measley amount of the check, but here's hoping the next one will have plenty of "zeros" behind the numbers!
I don't know what agencies you have contacted or if you ever had a lawyer, so bear with me. Go to the Countrywide Home Loans complaints in this website and read the complaints/rebuttals from Ionia, Mi. they can apply to any mortgage company trouble.
Gather up every document you have that pertains to your complaint and make 3-4 copies of each, keep the originals. Tell your mom to send her payments by registered mail, it will cost a little, but prove her point! Follow the directions for filing a complaint with the FTC and send a complaint in writing to your U.S. Senator of your state. Send copies to Attorney General and Dept. of Consumer Industry Services.
Complaints must be in writing in order for them to take action, and they must have some documentation of offenses.
Call HUD, seek a loan through them or another government/state sponsored agency. THEN, call Aames and ask about options, such as getting a loan modification/refinance through a government agency. Ask for any negotiations or option to be put in writing! Then Aames will get the idea that the "feds" are likely involved.
Be diligent, keep a journal/records of all conversations, dates, times, person's first and last name and details of the conversation.
Then, send a letter requesting "proof of debt" with your lenders name and your loan number to FTC Consumer Response Center, Room 240-H, Washington, D.C., 20580,;
Under RESPA;Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, if a borrower submits in writing,a qualified request for information, the mortgage servicer-within 20 business days--either to take the requested action or acknowledge in writing it has recieved the request. State that you are requesting this and the reasons you believe you have been unfairly charged late fees ,etc. and send supporting documents. Ask for what you believe you are entitled to, like reimbursement of late charges, credit repair, etc.
After the initial response, they then have 60 days to respond/correct the problem or explain their actions. You have a chance at letting your mom get some justice! Tell her that she is in my prayers and I will keep posting updates as they become available. God Bless.
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?

Rational Synergy overview
IBM® Rational® Synergy software enables globally distributed development teams to work together on a unified change, configuration, and release management platform. Using this task-based environment, they can:
- Improve development, release management, and build management
- Accelerate release cycles
- Maximize productivity, regardless of team size or location
- Minimize overhead through automation and repeatable best practices
- Demonstrate compliance with regulations
Usually, when you have a problem using Rational Synergy that you need to report to the technical support team, it typically takes a few to several interactions for the technician to get the required details to properly analyze the issue and propose a workaround or solution. But with the help of the debugging tools, the number of interactions can be reduced significantly and the required data can be gathered before contacting the support team. This helps support or development to respond quickly, early, and effectively.
Rational Synergy provides several debugging tools to diagnose the application's basic issue or problem. This article explains a few of these debugging tools that are available in the Version 7.2 release of Rational Synergy, as well as how to use them. The tools described here are only those available in the application's debug mode, which you can enable by following the instructions in the next section.
Using the debugging tools
Launch the Rational Synergy Java client:
- From the toolbar, click Tools to open the Tools menu, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Launch the Options dialog window
- Click the Options item on the drop-down menu.
The Options dialog window that will open is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Options dialog window
- Click the View tab, and select Font.
- To enable the debug mode, press Ctrl + d.
- Close the Options dialog window.
- Reopen the Tools menu.
The Tools menu lists these additional menu items that are available for debugging purposes (as shown in the Figure 3):
- Debug Object Info
- Memory Monitor
- Selection Monitor
- Cache Monitor
- Turn on RFC Dump
- Start Server Logging
- Start ACcent Tracing
- Set Logging Level
Figure 3. Reopen the Tools menu
The sections that follow describe six of those eight options.
Each option is explained briefly in the following subsections to help you understand and analyze the issues.
Debug Object Info
The Debug Object Info action menu will work only when an object is selected. After selecting an object on the application, click the Debug Object Info menu option, which will display the information about the object that you selected, as shown in the Figure 4.
Figure 4. Debug Object Info view
The Debug Object Info contains the complete details of the selected object, such as stored attributes, unretrieved attributes, pseudo attributes, object users and listeners. These details can be used as a reference to verify the data when you feel that the selected object is not displaying the appropriate data in the application. The information displayed helps you identify the underlying problem, whether it is with the application display or within the stored data.
Memory Monitor
The Memory Monitor action displays a window (Figure 5) that shows the basic memory use details in the Java virtual machine (JVM). Given that IBM Rational Synergy runs on the bundled JVM, this shows the Rational Synergy memory use.
Figure 5. Memory Monitor window
The Memory Monitor also provides these options:
- Run GC
- To force JVM to start garbage collector to free some memory
- Clean Cache
- To clear the IBM Rational Synergy object cache that is maintained internally by the application
- Dump Heap
- To dump the heap on JVM
The information available in the Memory Monitor view is mostly useful to analyze issues such as slow performance of the application. When you feel that the application is responding slowly, you can look into this monitor to find out whether any memory-related issue exists. You can free up some memory by using either then Run GC or Clean Cache options. You can also analyze the JVM heap dump if required. This works like the min-memory profiler.
Selection Monitor
The Selection Monitor is a very simple monitor that tells about the objects that are selected at that moment.
Figure 6. Selection Monitor view
The Selection Monitor is useful when you select an object and open the context menu, but the expected menu items are not visible. This can look like a bug, also. But sometimes, when another object is also selected, the items might appear in a history pane, a workspace pane, or some other non-model view. To check that, launch the Selection Monitor and check what selections it shows.
Start Server Logging
You can use Start Server Logging to enable or disable the server-side logging. This basically starts Remote Call logging on the server side. This setting logs all of the remote calls made from the client to the server.
These details are required to analyze what server calls are made during an operation, how much time they took to process the data, how many calls are made, and how many calls to the server are required. This is even useful in analyzing performance-related issues.
Start Server Logging menu item acts like a toggle button. So the same menu item is used to start or stop the logging. The server logging data will be written to the server.log file on the IBM Rational Synergy server.
Start Accent Logging
With Start Accent Logging, you can enable or disable the accent trace logging. This log is mostly required while analyzing issues related to server exceptions and business logic-related issues. This is very critical and low-level logging.
The Start Accent Logging menu item acts like a toggle button. Therefore, the same menu item is used to start or stop the logging. The ACcent traces are also logged into the server.log file on the Rational Synergy server. This logging generates more data; therefore, this should be enabled just before the required operation and then disabled after the operation is finished. When the logs are available, those should be sent to support or development, as appropriate, for further analysis.
Set Logging level
The Set Logging Level action gives you control over the data that will be logged into client log files. Set Logging level mainly helps in reducing the log file size, because the logs won't contain any unnecessary information. Whenever you can reproduce problems or issues, you can enable the logging at the required level and pass that data on to support or development for analysis. Only the required data will be logged, because the logging level can be turned on or off.
Figure 7. Logging Level settings
The Logging Settings dialog window contains three tabs:
Set Logging Level
- Set the required class or package that you want the logging to apply to, and then specify the log level in the Level drop-down menu. For example:
Class or package: com.telelogic.xxx
Level: FINEST
- Click Apply to enable the logging for the specified class or package at the specified logging level.
- When you want to disable logging, set the Level to OFF for that class or package. These settings will be only for that current session.
Logging Level Record
This view shows the current session logging settings.
Figure 8. Logging Level record
Default Logger Details
This view shows the default settings at the application level, which are specified in the logging.properties file of Rational Synergy.
Figure 9. Default Logger Details view
With the help of the Set Logging Level tool, you can get the required log details, which helps in analysis of issues for faster turnaround. These logging settings can be specified on the fly at run time; therefore, you do not need to restart the client session to change the logging settings.
When the required logs are available, you can send those logs to support or development by using the Submit Support Request action, which is available from the Help menu.

D-League Will No Longer Operate In Fayetteville
GREENVILLE, S.C., May 2, 2006 The NBA Development League announced today that the NBA will no longer operate a team in Fayetteville, N.C.
We worked very hard over five years to try to build the level of support that we needed to continue. We are saddened that it doesnt make solid business sense to continue, D-League President Phil Evans said. The staff there devoted countless hours to making the Patriots a viable family entertainment option in Fayetteville.
The D-League has announced seven new markets for the 2006-07 season. Those include Anaheim (Calif.), the Bakersfield Jam (Calif.), the Colorado 14ers (Broomfield), Dakota Wizards (Bismarck, N.D.), Idaho Stampede (Boise), a team to be owned by the NBA Los Angeles Lakers and the Sioux Falls Skyforce (S.D.). Those teams will join the Albuquerque Thunderbirds (N.M.), Arkansas RimRockers (Little Rock), Austin Toros (Texas), Florida Flame (Ft. Myers), Fort Worth Flyers (Texas) and Tulsa 66ers (Okla.).

Salford coach Phil Veivers praised stand-off Daniel Holdsworth for stepping up in their 24-22 Super League win at Hull KR just two days after Matty Smith's departure to Wigan.
Smith left the club with immediate effect on Friday leaving Veivers and his players the job of pulling together to make the departure easier to cope with. Holdsworth pulled the strings for the Reds and Veivers wants more of the same in the coming weeks.
"Daniel went good after being exceptional in the Exiles game and backing it up," said Veivers. "He had to take on a lot more responsibility with Matty leaving."
He added: "That's a credit to Daniel and I thought Mark Sneyd handled it pretty good too, especially his kicking game.
"It's important for the senior group to help Daniel out. He has plenty of skill and he has the ability and we need to nurture him along and mould him into the type of player we want him to be.
"It's been a tough week all round for the players and it hit them pretty hard. We only found out at the back end of the week as I did on Friday. We showed a lot of character and did not let it affect us."
Rovers coach Craig Sandercock hinted that the lethargy shown by his side was a result of some very intense games in recent weeks against St Helens, Catalan and Warrington.
"We were very lethargic and flat which is very disappointing," he said.
"The only thing I can think of for my boys is that the last month has been very intense with massive matches.
"There were some very basic errors that you'd criticise an Under-10s side for doing. We need to make sure those errors don't happen again."

Definition of diastole in English:
The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood. Often contrasted with systole.
Example sentences
- The reflected wave returns to the aorta during systole rather than diastole, increasing systolic work even more and reducing diastolic pressure, on which coronary flow depends.
- It relaxes slowly in early diastole and offers greater resistance to filling in late diastole, so that diastolic pressures are elevated.
- Systole is that part of the heart's pumping cycle when it contracts and pushes blood out, the pulse if you like, and diastole is when the heart relaxes and fills with blood ready for the next heartbeat.
- Example sentences
- Firstly, we analysed the diagnostic value of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate with area under curves.
- Men who experienced the Leningrad siege have higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure and excess mortality from ischaemic heart disease and stroke.
- Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were within normal limits.
Late 16th century: via late Latin from Greek, 'separation, expansion', from diastellein, from dia 'apart' + stellein 'to place'.

Spanish Yellow Rice
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
A lovely side dish for those who like saffron. May be made with low-sodium bouillon if you wish.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon powdered saffron
- 3 cups vegetable broth or 3 cups chicken broth
- Cook rice in oil or butter, stirring, until opaque.
- Add salt, saffron and bouillon.
- Bring to a boil, immediately turn heat to low, cover, and simmer 16-20 minutes, until rice is tender. (If after 16-18 minutes you find more liquid is needed, add water as necessary, up to 1 cup maximum).
Most Helpful
This was a very good alternative to the boxed yellow rice I usually use to accompany Mexican food. I used American shredded saffron, not really threads or powdered, and I used about 3 pinches. I didn't get a very yellow result (I think probably you'd need turmeric for that deep yellow, and I didn't have any), but the taste was delicious. I also added about 2 Tbsp sweet red pepper, much to my kids' dismay. My husband loved it. I think I'll be using this recipe from now on and scrapping those salty boxes of yellow rice!
Did not have powdered saffron either...BUT this recipe was preferred by DH & DD over the way I have been making Spanish rice for many years...imagine that?! Wasn't sure how much saffron "threads" to add, but used what Iwould consider "a pinch and a half". I did add 1 tsp minced jarred garlic to rice while browning and also some fresh ground black pepper. Used 1 1/2 cups chicken boullion and 1 1/2 cups tomato boullion. Made with Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew). Thanks for this!
Not having the powdered saffron, I used saffron threads. The recipe was reduced to 2 servings and actually came out to be 3 servings. The rice was cooked in the chicken broth. This was served as a side with Low Fat Chicken Enchiladas With High Fat Taste.. Delicious!

By Eric Cramer, Rock Island Arsenal Garrison Public AffairsJune 12, 2009
The 2009 edition of The U.S. Army Soldier show brought nearly 3,000 people to the i-wireless Center May 20, according to figures from Rock Island Arsenal. A total of 2,968 people attended the variety show performance by serving Soldiers in the United States Army.
"This is just an outstanding opportunity for us to give back to the Quad Cities," said Rock Island Arsenal Garrison Manager Joel Himsl. "This is a perfect end to the outpouring of community support we received from Military Appreciation Week here in the Quad Cities."
This year's show "Lights! Camera! Action!" attempted to give the audience a behind-the-scenes look of a simulated live television broadcast. After breaks in the show, cast members gave the audience a simulated countdown to going "back on-the-air," in "five, four, three, two, one" before the beginning of a new set of numbers.
"The audience is going to have the rare experience of feeling and being in a live television studio, including commercial breaks," said Soldier Show production director Victor Hurtado, who spent much of the past year working on TV productions "Nashville Star," "America's Got Talent," "Clash of the Choirs," and country performing artist Michael Peterson's "My Real Life - Strong For America Tour," presented by the U.S. Army.
"I thought, what's going to be an exciting piece for the audience. Wouldn't it be cool to call it 'Lights! Camera! Action!' bring that feeling to the audience," Hurtado said.
Kathrine Schaeffer, an Army Specialist, was a performer in the 2008 edition of the show. This year, she was a lighting technician for the performance. She said she learned lighting techniques while working with the show last year. "I got to the point where I liked it so much more than actually performing," Schaeffer said. "It's a lot of work to be a performer, a LOT of work. I don't know that I could do it all over again."
Sgt. Maj. Tammy Coon, senior enlisted advisor for Soldier entertainment programs, is a native of Galesburg, Ill., and relished her return to the Quad Cities area. She said the Army's anti-sexual assault program known as "I. A.M. Strong" - the first three letters stand for "intervene," "act," and "motivate," was the military sponsor for the show.
"It's a very motivated and robust program where we're trying to get the message out on a peer-to-peer basis so those sort of things don't happen in our military. It's a deterrent to make certain sexual assault doesn't happen in our ranks," Coon said.
I. A.M. Strong videos aired during breaks in the performance, and its logos and images showed on the i-wireless Center's video ribbon during the performance.
He said he recommends the Soldiers who devote six months to the tour look at it as a developmental opportunity.
The show featured 15 U.S. Army Soldiers who performed a variety of musical and dance numbers.
When the Soldier Show rolls into a location, almost regardless of where it is, each show is highly anticipated.
The show opened with Kirk Franklin's upbeat "Declaration [This is It!]," co-written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald, which addresses survival of the everyday trials and tribulations through a positive declaration of one's purpose in life.
"It makes use of the tune of Kenny Loggins' "This is It," Hurtado said."But it has been completely redone in a very inspirational way."
Another scene featured the new retro sounds of Duffy's "Mercy," Dominican Juan Luis Guerra's "La Llave de Mi Corazon," which translates in English to "Key to my Heart," and "I Decided," by Solange Knowles, younger sister of Beyonce.
"It has a little bit of English, a little bit of rap, it's all meringue - so it moves," Hurtado said. "There are also some really cool Kanye West and Rhianna numbers, with black lights and interesting drums - a lot of visuals."
A lot of dance, rap, English R&B, visuals, patriotic tunes, movement, love of country - even a roller skater - graced the stage of the 2009 U.S. Army Soldier Show during the 90-minute theatrical concert production.
Soldier-performers wore traditional attire from India during "Jai Ho," a soundtrack piece from "Slumdog Millionaire," the 2008-09 Oscar Award-winning best motion picture of the year.
The Soldiers performed Frankie Smith's 1981 funk song, "Double Dutch Bus," while playing the streets of Philadelphia-acclaimed jump rope game on stage. Raven-Symone covered the tune in 2008 and it was released to promote the film "College Road Trip." There was also a throw forward to modernized versions of more '80s hits, complete with choreography and costuming reminiscent of the "Solid Gold" television show.
For the finale, the troops combined "The Warrior's Anthem," by Michael Peterson, with the late Robert Humphreys' "Warrior's Creed," and put it to music.
"It's a combination of that and a song called "Make Them Hear You," Hurtado said. "It's a declaration of being heard."

Saturday's rain bumps parades to today
Published: Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 12:11 a.m.
HOUMA — Foul weather shut down Saturday's planned eastside Mardi Gras parade, forced cancelation of another in Lockport and halted a Golden Meadow parade in its tracks before it was halfway down the route.
But in two of those cases, the weather wrongs will be righted today. Houma's Krewe of Mardi Gras rolls behind the 12:30 p.m. Terreanians parade on the west side. And Lockport's Krewe of Apollo starts at noon along its traditional route.
Though rains that battered the region Saturday were tapering off, the weather had made for additional public-safety concerns that officials said entered heavily into the decision.
"It's a combination of parish government, the krewe and the Sheriff's Office," sheriff's Maj. Malcolm Wolfe said. "The weather made that decision. There were power lines down on the east side along with the weather."
Krewe of Mardi Gras Vice President Clifton Pierce said he was disappointed by the need to reschedule.
"But we understand that we can't control the weather," he said.
He predicted the group's 30 floats and 653 members will make a great show for the paradegoers who come out today.
Christine Constant said for some of her fellow krewe members the luster disappears when the route changes and the parade comes after that of another group.
"It takes the fun away because one family will have to get off the reviewing stand for the other family to get on," she said.
Among public-safety concerns was the lack of street lights caused by electrical outages Saturday along some parts of Grand Caillou Road, which could have put viewers in danger.
For that reason especially, Constant said, the decision was necessary, however unfortunate.
The krewe still had a party of its own at the East Houma Bingo Hall, where the parade queen, Bernice LeBoeuf, danced barefoot and revelers feasted on meatballs, fried chicken, fried fish and nachos. The party — members call it a "bash" — started earlier than its initial planned kickoff since there was no parade beforehand.
Weather is forecast as being perfect for parades today.
Terreanians' theme is "What Time Is It?" and the parade will feature 20 floats. The krewe claims about 410 members.
The Krewe of Mardi Gras follows under the theme "Come to the Mardi Gras," with WWL-TV personality Frank Davis and his wife Mary Clare as grand marshals.
The Krewe of Atlantis' postponement from Saturday to noon today means Golden Meadow paradgoers will have sunny skies. The krewe has 70 members, including King Farrell Collins Jr. and Queen Chastity Collins.
Wanda Cheramie, Atlantis treasurer, said the decision not to roll Saturday turned out to be a good one.
"At the time we were going to roll, the weather was really bad," she said. "That's when the worst of it got started, and it would have continued till way after it would have been done."

Just yesterday, a different young man came to my door and asked if anyone had already talked to me about this. I said yes that I had already purchased a magazine from someone else. He basically ignored what I had just told him and proceeded to tell me all about the magazines as well as pointing out several other people who were walking around the apartment complex knocking on other doors. He told me that all the proceeds would go to the American Cancer Society.
I told him that I couldn't really afford it right now. He said to me in these exact words, "it's ok, if you pay wtih a check they will hold it for 10 days and you can cancel your order as long as you do it within 3 business days." I said to him that I still didn't think I wanted to order one. He kept persisting and I finally realized that the only way I was going to get this guy to leave was to write him a check, so I did.
After he left, I was looking over my receipt and noticed that it siad that no checks will be held and there is a $30 fee for all cancelled checks. Then I started to be a little suspicious, so I looked the company up on Google and found this website full of complaints against the company.
I have already sent in my receipt for my refund, not that I actually think that I will get one. I have found as much information as I can about this company as well as filing a report with the Better Business Bureau. I plan on contacting the company first thing Monday morning as well as my bank to place a stop payment on my check.
I am so mad at myself for falling for this scam twice as well as at the people that run these scams taking advantage of college students with tight budgets and nice, average people.

Dummy me: I went for it.
So on 12/5, my account was hit for $219.95, and I've not seen anything. They did give a customer service number of 770-937-9498, which, when called, announced that it had been changed to 678-209-9696. (Naturally, you get to sit on hold there, and never talk to a human.)
I want my money back!

|April 15, 2011
|Two quartz (10-11) crystals were cylindrically bent to 25.4 cm radius of curvature and were mounted in identical Cauchois type transmission spectrometers, and the crystal diffraction efficiencies were measured to 5 % absolute accuracy using narrow bandwidth x-ray source fluences in the 20 keV to 80 keV energy range. The measured integrated reflectivity values were compared to calculations performed using a computational model that accounts for the diffraction geometry of the bent transmission crystal. These crystal calibrations enable the accurate measurement of absolute hard x-ray emission levels from laser-produced plasmas and other laboratory sources.

I was having a party on Friday, May 2nd. I called on Monday, April 28th to ask which shipping option I should select to have the products arrive by Thursday. I was told that 3-day shipping was fine, 2-day to be sure.
I placed my order on Tuesday morning. I decided to go with overnight shipping so I could hang my party decorations on Wednesday night. I selected FedEx Standard Overnight shipping on the checkout form.
I did not receive my package on Wednesday. I called to ask if it had been shipped. I was told that my order was in the computer as regular ground delivery. I did not choose this option, but the rude customer service representative kept insisting that I must have since that was what the computer said. I told her there has been a mistake. I believe the mistake comes from the fact that there are two overnight shipping check boxes on the form, but only one overnight shipping option. One of them must mistakenly select ground shipping. (There is a separate check box for ground shipping which is not near the overnight options...not likely to have clicked the wrong box.)
I still had not received my package on Thursday. I was worried. I got a call around noon from someone at Party Etc. telling me that my shipping would cost $90.00! The shipping charge on the website was $10.95 for handling + $22.50 for overnight. The $90 fee was unexpected and outrageous! My purchases were only $70!!!
I refused to pay $90 for shipping. The salesperson told me that the source of the problem was my pinatas (a $6.99 item), which resulted in the extra shipping charge. I said to forget the pinatas.
The Party Etc. representative called me back and said without the pinatas, the shipping was $65. This was still ridiculously high. Now she told me I had to take out the plastic cups to reduce the charge. Still too high.
We took out the sombreros and the maracas were unavailable in the style I had chosen.
All I had left to order was two strings of chili pepper lights and a blindfold. The lights were $9.95 each and did not cost extra shipping. The blindfold was 50 cents. My total with shipping still came to $49. Ridiculous, but I was desperate...the party was the next day and there wasn't enough time to find them somewhere else.
Friday morning, no shipment.
Finally, get package around 6pm...guests arrive at 7:30pm. No time to hang the lights. The whole order is a waste of time.
I would not have been as upset if I hadn't opened the box and discovered that the lights they sent me were not what I was expecting. They were not the ones pictured on the website. They were ugly and big and plastic and cheesy, nothing like the cute red & green ones I thought I was buying.
Now, the company refuses to give me my money back. I don't want to pay $49 for two strings of lights which are maybe worth $1.50 and that did not arrive in time for my party. I now have to dispute this charge with my credit card. I hope I will be able to get my money back since the item they sent me was wrong.
Take my advice and NEVER ORDER FROM PARTY ETC. Maybe they fill other orders okay, but it is not worth the risk. I was upset for the whole beginning of my party at what happened.

I was offered a remedy by a "certified Microsoft Technician" for fees varying from about $150 to $300 depending on the length of time the repair service would last. I indicated that I wanted to make a local contact to verify the problems on my computer and then said that I would call back after I was able to determine exactly what was going on with these errors. I asked for a name and phone contact with the individual, and that information was not supplied.
I have been paying for McAfee protection on my computers for many years.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
AT&T Provides McAfee For Free and You Get McAfee Support For Only $15.00
AUTHOR: ilic - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, July 08, 2012POSTED: Sunday, July 08, 2012
I know quite a bit about virus removals as I use to work for AT&T and that is what I did. I worked directly with McAfee.
The first thing you have to be aware of is this: There are viruses on the internet that will cause that box to pop up on your screen when you have a Healthy computer. They only want you to click on it and then you call them and they will try to charge your credit card. It is a scam. They are getting very sophisticated.
Second, if you are an AT&T customer you have FREE McAfee with your AT&T Service. I am not sure why AT&T doesn't advertise this. Most of their customers don't even know. You have it up to 4 computers in your home. You will never have to pay for McAfee again.
Also, if you get a virus, AT&T offers something called "Support Plus". Now all agents are not correctly trained and some will tell you there is a year contract or something like that. There is NOT a contract. You can have it removed at ANYTIME. So for the price of only $15.00 you can have Support Plus added to your account and "immediately" they will transfer you to an internet representative who can take control of your computer just like McAfee who are trained in Virus Removal and they will remove it for you.
You just can't ask the AT&T Agent "Oh, so I can have this removed automatically" because their calls are monitored and even if they want to say yes someone may be listening. Just get it added and then immediately after your computer is cleaned and the virus removed call up and have it removed.
They don't have to have a managers permission to remove it. They do it all day everyday. They just push a buttom on the screen and it is off the account. It is one of the easiest phone calls and those guys love easy calls because as a Technical Support Agent they stay super busy and never know what kind of call they will get. You wouldn't believe some of the reasons people called technical Support. I had a lady call one night who had unplugged her tv by mistake and she stated her internet was out. We had all types of calls.
Good Luck.
