Wheel spacers
Got a question boys. I am not planning on doing this for a few thousand miles but I am planning on lifting my Jeep when I am due for new tires, I will lift it and get new bigger tires. I am considering wheel spacers, what is the deal with them? Are they just for the look. I am guessing the add some type of interior clearance to allow for larger tires but if not then are they just for the look? Having your tires out further?
It will allow for a wider tire on the stock rim, however, wheel spacers add more stress onto the axle and can cause premature failure, the best bet is to buy new rims with a back spacing of 4.5 or less and you'll be good to go =)
Still don't get how wheel spacers cause any more stress then a wheel with the same backspace. The physics would be the same. the weight of the wheel and tire are at the same distance and that is where the stress is mainly coming from. Just don't see the physics of a wheel spacer creating additional stress over a new wheel with the same bs . And for the most part, those who get new wheels usually get more BS then the spacer will cause.
As long as you get hub centric spacers, then you are really putting less stress on the lugs since most aftermarket wheels are not hub centric. Now If the new model spacers were like the older ones and some of the cheaper version of not having hub centric light weight material, I could maybe see stress at that point.
I think most of this stress issues are related to older version spacers.

(high five) ^^^
Wheels with less backspacing will put the same stress that wheel spacers do, just sayin :D

That said, I'd personally much prefer wheels w/proper bs and no spacers.
Some states ban them. Many tire places refuse to work on vehicles with them in every state that they operate and even the manufacturers print materials that say they have to be checked a lot or are for off road use. There has been a lot of discussion about the safety aspect in this forum. I wouldn't put them on my jeep. Eventually, if I do go with slightly larger diameter and wider tires, I will get wheels with the proper backspacing.
ive seen a video where some guy is testing spidertrax wheel spacers and he snaps his axle before a wheel spacer broke.
safety issues will rise as long as there are idiots
theres one state, PA, who bans wheel spacers.
and most states dont allow for the idea of your tire sticking out past your fender.
which will happen either way as long as you got wider tires and stock fenders
you can run wheel spacers for looks. idk if anyone would notice.
but here is the main reason why you want to run aftermarket wheel spacers.
Mass bans them. Local PD says they issue citations for using them.
I run Synergy spacers, no problems. I have 35's and wheel whenever I can. You will need to retorque them every oil change. Not a big deal IMO since you are already working on the vehicle. Do not cheap out though on them and pick up some Rough Country ones. Stick with Spidertrax, Synergy, Rugged Ridge or Teraflex and HUB centric
Again, I hate to cheap out but I do have some things to worry about other than my Jeep, mainly my wife and my mortgage. I have to wait until I am due for new rubber but it looks like the plan is a Teraflex leveling kit, 33's and I am looking to go with the Spidertrax 1.5" spacers. I will risk it on the road, getting cited I mean but I will for sure make a call to wherever I am getting the tires put on to see if the spacers are an issue?

My spacers were not questioned by anybody.
The chain tire stores usually wont touch your rig with spacers installed.
Even if the chain stores do install the spacers for you, I would recommend that you go pick up an issue of JP Magazine or Four Wheeler or something (if you don't already have one), and find the Harbor Freight coupon in there for the 3/4" drive Torque wrench (~$15 if I recall correctly) and purchase it. I set mine to 100lb-ft of torque and periodically torque down the spacers and wheels. Takes but a few minutes, and it's all you really need for piece of mind. Your spacers will be perfectly fine if you do this every oil change or serious off road trip. You'll find they'll always click and never loosen anyway (I used a little locktite, the not-permanent kind).
But, it'll be best for you to just get the tool and check the torque on them yourself. And, well, if you get the tool, you can just install the mounted and balanced wheels yourself. There won't be a question of if they are torque'd right either, the way that can occur if you use just a regular lug nut tool.
^^I know the Discount Tire local to me will not touch them or sell them
I ran mine for 16 months before getting new wheels. Absolutely no issues and none of my suspension parts have any wear. I ran Rough Country 1.5" hub centric spacer. The great thing about them is if you do get new wheels later, they are easy to sale. Didn't take me but one day after taking them off to have them sold. Bought them used for $75 and sold them for $75.
My offroad shop sells them (one of the mechanics at the shop had these and got new wheels) and mounted them and routinely checked them for me.

Bought my torque wrench at Harbor Freight. Running 1.5" SpiderTrax with no problem. Be sure and check them per instructions. No one has yet to explain how spacers are worse than wheel backspacing to me. Both move to tire farther out resulting in the same amount of stress. I will buy new wheels when I need tires. But the spacers are working great for me. When you move the tires out, your Jeep will get dirty alot more. It's worth it.

I've been running 33" Duratracs with stock wheels and a 2.5" Teraflex shock/spring lift with 1.25" Alloy USA hubcentric spacers for months now. No issues at all. Lots of highway driving, bit of the rough stuff and had then checked twice by the excellent shop that installed all of the above. No loosening or problems at all. They were recommended by the shop and were torqued to around 90 I believe with some supplied locktite. We went with the 1.25" spacers because the main issue with laws in MA aren't about the spacers themselves, rather the amount your tire sticks out beyond the fender. This I know... They give plenty of backspace room with the 12JKs and this lift and tire combo. Love the look!
I have the spidertrax. Havent had any problems with them. In fact the dealer did my tire rotate and liked them.(couldnt refuse the free oil change). They did seem to help with stability on hwy with cross winds
Are they necessary! I have 33's on stock rims and no rubbing. Have a 3.5" Rubicon Express lift. Would I get any benefit with them?
Good to know ;) I won't have any issues with inspections or citations, but it's def good to know the correct info. I'm in the field, and wasn't aware of that one specifically. Thanks!
If anything, when you put spacers on stock wheels you reduce torsional stress on the axles.
Let's think about it. Your stock wheel has 6.5 backspace and is 8.5 wide, so you are 2.25 off center. With a 1.5 spacer you are only 0.75 off center.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
stole prescription drugs from a friend that works at a pharmacy... i cant return all the drugs.. he is turning me in to save his ass
Not a good question. How old are you??What did you steal? How much? Do you have a criminal record? Please try again.Ask a similar question
Theft of anything can be charged under whatever the appropriate theft offense is - under $400 in value, it's petty theft, over $400, it's grand theft. If they think you entered a building with the intent to steal, it can be burglary (second degree if it's a commercial building, first degree if it's a residence).
Then there's whatever drug charges are appropriate - anything from possession of a prescription drug without a prescription up to possession of a controlled substance, depending on the type of drug.
If they think you took enough so that you could resell, there's the possibility of possession with intent to sell.
The specifics of the case will matter. If the police contact you, do NOT make any statement without consulting with an attorney. Saying anything in this case can only hurt you. That applies to talking with anyone. No facebook, myspace or twitter posts about this. No texts messages, IM or emails. No phone calls, etc. I'd stay off the internet, as a computer search by police can uncover what you've googled. I'm not trying to put the fear of God in you - it's just that things can quickly go from bad to worse in this situation. It's time for a lawyer if you're being accused of theft.Ask a similar question
It is a theft crime and a drug possession crime. The outcome depends on the specifics of the case, the drug and how much was stolen, the extent and nature of your criminal record if you have one, the jurisdiction, the judge, and the skill of your attorney.Ask a similar question

Software Visualization
Definition - What does Software Visualization mean?
Software visualization is the practice of creating visual tools to map software elements or otherwise display aspects of source code. This can be done with all kinds of programming languages in different ways with different criteria and tools.
The fundamental idea behind software visualization is that by creating visual interfaces, creators can help developers and others to understand code or to reverse-engineer applications. A lot of the power of software visualization has to do with understanding relationships between pieces of code, where specific visual tools, such as windows, will present this information in an accessible way. Other features may involve different kinds of diagrams or templates that developers can use to compare existing code to a certain standard.
Techopedia explains Software Visualization
Various tools have been built for software visualization. For instance, AgileJ StructureViews helps with software visualization for Java, with features including filtering tools for distinguishing Java elements, including classes, fields and methods, as well as batching technology. Another prominent type of software visualization tool is Microsoft Visual Studio. Visual Studio works with multiple programming languages and includes a lot of software visualization functionality, as well as top-level interface design, that helps developers to build applications for Windows operating systems. In general, Visual Studio is a visual interface to support object-oriented programming. It not only helps individuals and teams to create applications from scratch, but it also does the sort of things that software visualization is intended to help with; by creating Windows-based mapping and visual design, it shows relationships between code modules as part of a greater structural approach to coding that is inherently visual and distributed in nature.

wikiHow to Create a Simple Shadow Using Photoshop CS3
Adding a shadow to an image can create a dramatic effect, especially when you're experimenting with camera angles. You can create a simple shadow in Photoshop CS3 by duplicating the image layer, doing some distortion, and activating the shadow layer. Easy as pie.
1Open your image. Make sure that your image is cut out and on a transparent layer. Name the current layer to your liking. Leave enough room for the intended shadow.
2Duplicate the image layer. Open up a new layer, change its color to white, and drag the layer under your image layer. Rename the layer copy to "shadow".
3Set the foreground color to black. Fill the copy of the image layer by pressing the CTRL, Shift, and Delete buttons. Go to Filters - Blur - Gaussian blur and set the blur around three or five.
4Distort the shadow. Look to see if the shadow layer is active and press CTRL and T at the same time. You will see a bounding box with 8 little squares; see where the light is hitting your image and move around the arrows to the right places. Warp the bounding box by pressing CTRL and clicking on the squares. Move the shadow to fit nicely with the image. When you're done, press enter or press apply.
5Activate the shadow layer and set the opacity lower so it becomes greyish, about 70-80% is good. Now copy the shadow layer.
6Activate the copy of the shadow layer. Set the opacity of this one low so you will see a gradient going from black to grey and lighter.
7Resize the copy of the shadow layer. Make it just a bit bigger than the shadow layer.
8Save your image. Save your image to PNG or to GIF and enjoy your hard work. Saving with opacity will allow you to import your image anywhere.
Community Q&A
- If you see anything wrong with your shadow, or when it falls incorrectly or not where it should, you can remove those pieces by using a soft eraser.
- You can merge the two shadow layers later, then blur them.
- When setting the opacity of the shadow layer play a bit around and look how the opacity looks like while moving the settings.
- You can blur the shadow again after you've completed the steps above for a better effect.
- Try not to use JPG, it will remove the opacity, and create a white background in your image.
- Remember to remove the white background later, this way you can import the image anywhere you want without it having a background.
- If the project is going to be printed, save in a lossless format such as TIFF in case you need to size up for printing. .tif files will also retain alpha (opacity) channels so your shadows will blend in during compositing.
- This is a rough technique and it will often look forced if the goal is a realistic image. This method creates a single, high-contrast shadow that would only really exist in very strict circumstances. However, it will add a dynamic quality if the piece is supposed to be abstract like the example shown.

Dog-fighting suspect arrested; dogs and roosters seized
Published: Friday, April 1, 2011 at 5:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 1, 2011 at 10:42 p.m.
A Union County man was arrested and 24 dogs and 100 fighting roosters were seized Friday morning in what authorities say is the breakup of an animal fighting and training operation.
Photo Galleries
Eric S. Cox, 44, was arrested at his home in southwestern Union County in a multi-agency effort that included the Humane Society of the United States and law enforcement.
Additional felony animal cruelty charges for dog and rooster fighting will be filed, said Union County Sheriff's Maj. Garry Seay.
"We had information that there had been some fighting going on. They take these things to other counties and bigger cities for big fights," Seay said. "The dog-fighting community is a close-knit community. It's hard to infiltrate them, but we did have some information and had been getting multiple complaints from the neighborhood."
The animals were taken by the Humane Society to an undisclosed location, Seay said.
At the home, the dogs were on heavy chains, Seay said. Some looked relatively healthy, while others were in "pitiful" shape, Seay said. They all had signs of having fought, such as scars and cuts, he added.
Union County authorities said they had been investigating members of the Cox family on an unrelated case when the Humane Society got information about the operation on its national animal fighting tip line.
An investigation into the fighting was done by the Humane Society and a joint task force of the Union and Bradford County sheriff's offices and Starke police.
The Alachua County Sheriff's Office SWAT team was on hand for the arrest but Cox did not put up a fight, Seay said.
The Humane Society's Animal Rescue Team provided assistance on scene with evidence collection and seizure. Rescue team members brought a mobile crime lab to quickly and accurately document evidence on the scene.
"Animal fighting is a criminal underground industry that breeds horrible animal suffering and violence," said Chris Schindler, manager of animal fighting investigations for the organization, in a press release.
Bradford County Sheriff's Capt. Brad Smith said the animals apparently were not fought at the Cox home. They were raised and trained there, he said, adding that training equipment was seized.
Animal fighting is a felony in Florida with a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Seay said Cox has past convictions for drug trafficking and weapons offenses.
The Humane Society offers rewards of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of someone involved in illegal animal fighting.
The anonymous tip line is (877) 847-4787.

SEOUL, South Korea — Huge posters plastered across the North Korean capital hailed the nation's biggest political convention in 30 years as a historic event as the world watched Monday for signs that the country's next leader was making his public debut.
Party delegates from all corners of North Korea were gathering in Pyongyang, state media said. Thousands practiced waving pink and red plastic flowers in a weekend rehearsal of celebrations at Kim Il Sung Square, China's Xinhua news agency said.
The capital was festooned with posters urging North Koreans to "make this a festive event that will shine in the history of our country and people." One North Korean professor told broadcaster Associated Press Television News the party meeting marked a "turning point" for the communist nation.
However, there was no confirmation Monday that the convention, slated to take place in "early September," had begun, with the timing kept secret as is typical of the North Korean regime.
The gathering is the Workers' Party's first major meeting since the landmark 1980 congress where Kim Jong Il made his public debut as North Korea's future leader. He took over after his father, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, died of heart failure in 1994 in what was communism's first hereditary transfer of power.
Now 68 and reportedly suffering from diabetes and other ailments, Kim is believed to be grooming his youngest son, Jong Un, to take the Kim dynasty into a third generation.
Very little is known about the twentysomething heir apparent said to be his father's favorite among three sons. His name has never been mentioned in state media, and there are no known photos of him as an adult.
There was speculation that Kim Jong Il took the son to China on a recent surprise trip to introduce him to top Chinese officials, but there was no mention of Jong Un in dispatches in Chinese or North Korean state media.
South Korea's defense minister said military officials were preparing for any situation that might arise if the succession doesn't go smoothly.
"I believe North Korea may face many difficulties since Kim Jong Un is a young man, only about 27 years old," Kim Tae-young said Monday at a Seoul forum.
This year's gathering in Pyongyang is not a top-level party congress but a meeting of party representatives that North Korea's state-run Uriminzokkiri website said is held "when urgent or extraordinary matters arise."
Dr. Kim Chang Gyong, an assistant professor at the North Korean Academy of Social Science, hinted to APTN that party officials would be addressing an urgent matter.
"I think (the meeting) will serve as an important occasion amid our efforts to build a powerful socialist nation … at a time when there is a historic demand for a new turning point," he said in Pyongyang.
North Korea's main newspaper described an anticipatory mood in the capital.
"The people's hearts awaiting the revolutionary, festive occasion heat up due to their joy and happiness," Rodong Sinmun said.
The conference comes amid tensions with Washington and the international community over the North's nuclear program, as well as a standoff with Seoul over the deadly March sinking of a South Korean warship.
However, the regime announced Monday that a seven-member crew of a South Korean fishing boat seized last month in its waters would be released as a humanitarian gesture.
The impoverished nation is also suffering from the effects of a disastrous attempt at economic reform.
Delegates are expected to elect about 150-250 representatives to the party's Central Committee, as well as a core group of 30-40 leaders to the key Political Bureau and other departments, analyst Cheong Seong-chang of the Sejong Institute think tank near Seoul said Monday.
He predicted that preliminary sessions will begin Wednesday, with the main session taking place Thursday — the day North Korea celebrates the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the country's official name.
South Korean officials said troops, artillery and tanks were massing near the capital in apparent preparation for a military parade, either for the party convention or for a Workers' Party milestone taking place next month.
Good Friends, a Seoul-based civic group that sends food and other aid to North Korea, said convention registration began Saturday, and delegates were touring historic sites.
At one Pyongyang museum, black-and-white photos depicted the historic Workers' Party congress of 1980, held at the April 25th House of Culture.
One photo depicted the late Kim Il Sung taking the podium to address delegates, APTN footage showed. Another showed a young-looking Kim Jong Il — with a full head of black hair and slouching slightly in his seat — watching the proceedings intently with a briefcase and sheaf of papers before him.
Associated Press writers Sangwon Yoon and Ye Sol Lee contributed to this report.

When the threat of poverty forces Kate Croy and Merton Densher to reconsider their engagement to one another, Kate becomes determined to find a solution. The answer comes in the form of Milly Theale, a rich, young American woman visiting London as a result of her failing health. With a dramatic plan to exploit Milly's wealth and her affection for Merton, Kate believes she will achieve all that she has hoped for. The subsequent unexpected and tragic consequences reveal the painful cost of her selfishness and the ultimate struggle for Milly to "achieve, however briefly and brokenly, the sense of having lived."

flint & tinder's 10 Year Hoodie
These guys are heroes because they're not just bringing attention to the shoddy clothes manufacturing problem we have at the moment, they're actually doing something about it by making a piece of clothing in this 10 year hoodie. They offer free fixing but they don't expect them to break.
Of course I'd prefer a 20, 30, 40 year hoodie, but this is the best to be found for now... or is it? If you know of a better one, let me know!
The hoodie comes in a variety of different colours and looks super snuggly. Make sure to catch the video below where they show you how it all began.
NB: They make them in batches so they can sometimes be unavailable.

The partner of a pregnant woman has asked Dublin's high court to stop her leaving Ireland because he claims she is travelling to Britain for an abortion under pressure from her family.
The man is seeking injunctions preventing his girlfriend from leaving Irish jurisdiction for an abortion until it can be ascertained whether she is acting of her own free will. The couple, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, are both foreign nationals but have been living in Ireland.
In an affidavit to the court, the man said his girlfriend was "happy to be pregnant" and had "never expressed any desire to have an abortion", but her family believed she would be "ruined" if she had a child with a non-white man.
He said she had registered with a maternity hospital in Ireland, was looking forward to have a ultrasound scan in the near future and had already bought baby clothes.
The case was heard before the court in the woman's absence. She later attended court and will now be given an opportunity to seek independent legal advice.
Ms Justice Mary Laffoy said she would not proceed until the woman had received her own legal advice. The case was adjourned until Friday.
The judge directed that Ireland's attorney general be made a party to the proceedings.
In his proceedings, the man seeks orders restraining his partner from having an abortion or from leaving the Irish jurisdiction until the High Court can ascertain whether she is acting of her own free will.
He also wants an injunction restraining her parents from taking her out of the jurisdiction until it can be ascertained if she is acting of her own free will.
The man, in asking the court to vindicate the rights of his unborn child, also wants the court to order an urgent investigation to be undertaken by a forensic scientist to ascertain if she is being brought to the UK against her will before permitting her to leave the country for an abortion.
The man has said he has no desire to restrain his partner from travelling should that be her freely held wish.
The couple have known each other for a year, but her family is said not to have accepted their relationship. The man says his girlfriend's family are deeply unhappy with the fact she is in a relationship with someone of non-European origin. The couple moved in together away from her family, who also live in Ireland.
The right to travel to Britain for terminations is enshrined in the new abortion law going through the Irish parliament.
This new case will bring back memories of 1992 when the Irish state initially tried to ban a 14-year-old rape victim from travelling to Britain for an abortion.
The child's legal team challenged the ruling in what became known as the X-case, which laid the legal foundation for Irish women to have the right to travel abroad for abortions.

Before I was lucky enough to publish a novel, my crowning achievement had been sporting success. I played cricket for Leicestershire U19s and rugby for the county, winning player of the year in a team containing several members who would ultimately turn professional, including my back row partner – I was an open side flanker – Will Johnson, brother of former England coach and world cup winning captain, Martin. I still have the dogeared invitation to join Leicester Tigers – rugby union would be amateur for one more season, making the offer easier to decline when university education was still paid for by the government.
However, sporting glory was brief. I prolapsed a disc in my neck hitting a tackle bag head on, and then a nasty fight in a Tokyo karaoke box left me without the ligaments for an arch on my left foot. Laid up in bed with the gloomy realisation that I wasn't going to open the bowling for England, or ever play for the Lions, I picked up a book.
Language came to the rescue. Poetry and fiction gave me the energy and buzz that sport had once provided. In the tingling verse of Ted Hughes and John Burnside, the visceral intensity of a Cormac McCarthy novel, were the goosebump moments of that perfectly weighted pass, the flashing cover drive.
But can literature ever replace sporting prowess?
Aged eighteen, the idea of the word outscoring the try would have seemed fanciful. In the last minute of losing a game against Brighton RFC, I dummied the entire back line, side-stepped the rushing flanker before handing off the chasing winger and diving under the posts. It was a Roy of the Rovers, match-winning fantasy. My comic book heroics come true.
Even when Don Delillo, an avid baseball and gridiron fan, closes in on the end his monumental tome, Underworld, a stand out passage is not a homage to art or writing, but the physical longing for his (not the protagonist's, as I read it) youth, "the days when I was alive on the earth, rippling in the quick of my skin, heedless and real."
Yet when former England hooker and BBC pundit Brian Moore won the 2010 William Hill prize for his autobiography, Beware of the Dog, and Gabby Logan asked him if any rugby victory had ever brought him to tears, a choked up, "No," was his poignant reply. The ferocious rugby player tamed by prose.
Perhaps the best line on the relationship of pitch and page belongs to Eric Cantona, the mercurial French striker and budding philosopher: "I have never and will never find difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970, and the poetry of the young Rimbaud."
This summer, the Authors Cricket Club will attempt to marry art and sport. A century on from the original XI, which contained luminaries such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, PG Wodehouse and JM Barrie, the all new side will play a variety of matches across the country.
Bloomsbury plan to publish the team writings about our exploits, and the structure of the book means that each author will produce a chapter and a match report, and will therefore both write about the game and be written about by their peers. The jostling competition within any cricket team – which, unlike rugby, is ultimately a collection of individuals – and particularly this team, should push artist and athlete to produce their best performances with pen and bat.
And certainly writers are as prone to rivalry as sportsmen and women.
But effort is generally better rewarded in sport with fewer variables, where plain luck, the bounce of the ball or a freak gust of wind, cannot be called upon to blame for defeat. The Olympics are the pinnacle of application, desire and focus. Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world. This is the fact. Are England really the best cricket team?
From rugby to cricket, boxing to football, subjective opinion is often contrary to the result. This is evident in matches where the losing team is roundly thought to have deserved the win. Wales versus France in the rugby world cup semi-final. And then France versus New Zealand in the final, when man of the match, Thierry Dusautoir, pulled out his heart and left it on the turf of Eden Park.
However, it is the All Blacks' name engraved on the Web Ellis trophy. And, as any batsman knows to reply when the swearing bowler he has just edged for four doubts his ability, "Look in the book."

We spent a lovely afternoon looking around the expansive gardens and, as we were quite high on a hill, enjoying the views towards Rome. The only building tall enough to standout on the horizon is St Peters Dome.

When I step outside of my comfort zone, these experiences end up turning out as some of my best and most rewarding.

It's becoming something of a Sky speciality. Spend a bit of cash to hoick something from the terrestrial channels and then give it its own specialist channel so devotees can dedicate 24 hours a day, or thereabouts, to watching their favourite thing. It did it for sports, then it did it for Formula 1 and now it's doing it for the Bond films. It struck a deal in April with MGM, the film studio behind the spy franchise, to take the films away from ITV (who previously held the exclusive rights, which is why you were rarely more than a few hours away from Thunderball on ITV4). And from the autumn, Bond will be getting his martinis poured without ads on a temporary dedicated channel on Sky, launching on 5 October, which will also get the TV premiere of the forthcoming Skyfall.
Which is all well and good. But even if it's just for a year, are 23 films (some of which are utter chuff, it must be noted) enough to fill a whole channel? We got some of our top investigative hacks at Trending HQ to work out the running time of all the Bond films: it's 2,871 minutes or just under 48 hours. Expect a few repeats...

You are definitely able to put other filesystems on top of GNBD... with some caveats. GNBD is tied pretty closely with the RHCS cluster manager. The only way you can export devices uncached is with a cluster set up. If you don't need to export uncached devices, you can use the -n (no cluster) option to avoid setting up a RHCS cluster. When devices are exported in cached mode, reads will use the buffer cache on the GNBD server. This is a problem if you want to use the exported block device directly on the server, or want to export the same shared storage device from multiple gnbd servers. If you aren't doing either of those, you should be able to use the -n option. -Ben > PS. i am going for this setup not for production use but for learning > about the Cluster thing in the Oracle 10g RAC and as i do not have a > shared storage device so i an looking for a replacement with GNBD/NBD.

"...don't expect to have a home or a life to come back to either."
The words reverberated around my head, echoing like some dreadful music that one couldn't get out of one's brain.
Andrion's voice broke through the painful memory, saying "I'm sorry, Alissa."
What? Had I head him correctly? Whatever could he be apologising for? I really hoped he didn't think it was his fault this had happened: it wasn't. I would never blame him for something like this. Ever.
"Wh-what?" I stammered. I looked up, trying to discern what he was apologising for from his expression. I found myself suddenly caught by dark green eyes which held so much mystery and so much depth.
He seemed equally captivated by me because he didn't reply instantly. Instead, he looked into my eyes as if drowning in them. His expression suddenly became serious and intense. I stiffened slightly.
"I shouldn't have ... been so...," he began.
So what? But he didn't seem to want to finish his sentence anymore. He looked as if he was captivated by me. He leant in closer...
"I love him, Andrion," I whispered, afraid that I wouldn't be able to resist him if his lips brushed mine and scared about Matthias's reaction if our minds ever linked again.
He blinked. "I loved you, Alissa," he told me. "... It is hard to rid oneself of those feelings..."
I empathised completely. I wasn't surprised that he had trailed off: I would find it a struggle to talk to him at this proximity too.
I gazed back, helplessly lost in those depths of love which I so desired to be immersed in.
I felt myself leaning in towards him too. I so wanted to surrender to his will, allow him to possess me again, kiss him, feel his gorgeous soul.
I pulled away quickly.
"I cannot do this...," I said, shaking my head. I felt tears prick at the corner of my eyes. I was upset not only about Matthias but also about the fact that my feelings for Andrion were being reignited against my will and at such an inappropriate moment. "I can help you, but I cannot do ... this."
He swiftly too my hand in his.
"Please forgive me," he said, kissing it and releasing it. "I am sorry... I hate to hurt you. You ... are one of my greatest friends."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my head in his shoulder. He held me tightly.
A few seconds later, we let go of each other.
"Right," Andrion said. "I think that first I shall take you to Tiffany so that you can see for yourself her ... goodness."
I nodded.
Andrion held his hand out. I took it and closed my eyes as we teleported to the human girl's prison cell.
When we arrived, I was shocked by the conditions the girl was being forced to stay in. There was barely any light and certainly no signs of any place to sleep except the grimy floor. Cobwebs hung from the ceiling, disgustingly dusty.
The girl herself was a pitiful wreck. Her brown hair hung limp across her shadowed face, her eyes appeared almost sunken because of the bags under them and she was horribly thin. I forced myself to look at her, not wanting to give the impression I thought myself higher than her or anything.
I crouched down. "Hi," I said nervously.
She looked up.
I recoiled in shock. Her eyes were totally empty.
"A-Andrion," I whispered, trying not to throw up. "Where is her soul?"
"Alezae took it," he muttered.
I stood up - too quickly: I almost fainted. Andrion steadied me. I glanced at his hands upon my waist and was filled with sudden longing. I forgot where I was and the horrific sights confronting me. I turned in his hold and gazed deep into his gorgeous eyes.
Time seemed to stop. Andrion seemed to have forgotten the scene as well.
We were leaning towards each other, pulled by an irresistible force into the centre of a tornado where we would be stripped bare of everything outside our souls.
Our lips brushed and I blacked out.
I awoke in Andrion's house. I was lying on his sofa.
He was gazing at me helplessly from across the room.
"Remind you of anything?" he asked shakily.
"Oh yes," I replied.
The first day. The day we had started courting.
I had been walking home from high school when suddenly I had been confronted by several dark angels. Their intentions had been very bad. Very bad indeed.
They had pushed me onto the ground, ignoring the fact that I was crying and telling them to 'Leave me alone!'
A knight in shining armour, Andrion had come upon the evil ones.
Recognising his power and knowing him to be the rightful ruler of the land, the trouble-makers had scampered.
And then, I had fainted.
Andrion had brought me back to this very same room and placed me on this very same sofa, and after a little conversation (during which I was unable to say anything other than 'You rescued me'), we had shared our first kiss.
"What have I done?" I asked, appalled.
"What neither of us could resist doing," Andrion replied. He looked like he'd suffered a great shock. He was staring at me both longingly and with horror, punishing himself for what he had allowed to happen while wanting to kiss me again.
"So, the girl..." I said, needing to change the subject before I made another mistake.
"Doesn't matter," Andrion said, straying from the wall he had been hoping to get support from.
I lost my train of thought. "Doesn't matter," I repeated dumbly.
"That's right," he said, fixing me with an intent stare as he approached. He had evidently lost all control. "All that matters is you."
"Me," I murmured.
He knelt before me. "You." He clasped one of my hands between his. "You have to do something."
"What?" I asked, willing to do anything for him just so those eyes would keep warming my heart. Something protested deep within me but I ignored it, completely captivated by Andrion.
"Look after my heart," he answered, before leaning in and turning my world upside down.

Sara Gran Quotes
Just when you thought the mafia novel was dead, Tod Goldberg breathes new life into it. Gangsterland, the best mafia novel in years, is a dark, funny, and smart page-turning crime story. It's also a moving, thoughtful meditation on ethics, religion, family, and a culture that eats itself. I loved this book.

I love this show..it takes me back to my school days. The charatures are so funny, I don't think they act that way now, (I could be wrong) but just to hear the phrases like "far our" "groovy" and such takes me to 1970 so fast. I loved it then and I love it now.

Melbourne, Jan 8 (ANI): Darwin in Australia has been dubbed as the world's capital of broken jaws by a Northern Territory surgeon.
According to the Northern Territory News, oral and maxillofacial surgeon Mahiban Thomas said Royal Darwin Hospital saw more patients with broken jaws than any other capital, and that alcohol was the main cause of most injuries.
"Royal Darwin Hospital treats 350 broken jaws a year, putting the rate at 17 per 10,000 population, which is well above anywhere else in the world," News.com.au quoted Thomas as saying.
"The injuries are mostly sustained outside pubs and clubs in the city centre Thursday and Friday nights.
"Only 12 percent of trauma patients have not been a victim of an alcohol-related assault," he said.
Dr Thomas said he was shocked when he first arrived in the northern capital five years ago and would support an alcohol accord in nightclubs, where they share information about violent patrons.
"Anything at all that can moderate the behaviour after the consumption of alcohol I would support it," he added.
The call came only two months after the NT News revealed booze killed and seriously injured more people in the NT than anywhere else in the country.
The report said 88 Territorians over the age of 15 were estimated to have died after drinking too much grog in 2005 - nearly three times the national average. (ANI)

"A what! A homemade mirror stand to hold up the mirror. Great idea. This would be so cute and pretty in a girls room on her dresser or even on a make-up table. This paper has a shine to it so it reminds me of something a princess would have. If you have some mirrors around the house or look at yard sales or thrift,grab a fun foam core and some holographic(neverseen that before, but it is beautiful)paper and have a craft day with the girls. Imagine how they will feel when they complete this beauty. So simple and fast. Thanks."
"I know the roses with the news print you are talking about they are absolutely stunning. I wondered how they were made. I think these paper roses do look so real but even after watching the video the look a little complicated. Did your daughter find them easy to do? Does she have any advice? Have you tried to make any? They can be used in so many ways."
"Oh my. This is a must see for anyone with an upcoming summer outdoor or beach wedding. I love this Blooming hat. Can't find what you want your bridesmaid to wear on their heads than here is a beautiful hat that you can design yourself.Pick out the colors of flowers and even add some lace or a bow and when wedding is over they can wear the hat again or just make one for yourself to wear for a special outing. Super idea and nicely done."
"What! I absolutely love this idea to make a butterfly flower seed favors for a different party twist. I like the idea to plant flowers to remember a special occasion or even just to remind you of butterflies. I like that you can use the color theme in the pipe cleaners or use the glitter ones for some shine for the body. Thanks for the great idea."
"I remember making some flowers out of tissue paper I think in girl scouts when I was little but have not made any out of napkins. This looks like a good idea to use on tables for a wedding,baby shower or even for your own table and looks like they would be fun to make too. Great summer project for the kids or grandkids. I know it will be on my list."

1. Re: Using CMIS in Content Presenter to retrieve a DAM image renditionJiri.Machotka-Oracle Nov 14, 2012 12:03 PM (in response to BillUK)According to this manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15813/toc.htm#BABFCBFA it is not possible yet:
For this release, some of the optional capabilities listed in section 2.1.1 have not been implemented. Versioning, ACL, Policies, Relationships, Change Log, Folder Descendants/Tree, and Renditions will be considered for future releases.
2. Re: Using CMIS in Content Presenter to retrieve a DAM image renditionJaap Spiering Nov 15, 2012 8:21 AM (in response to BillUK)Perhaps not directly using CMIS, but you can enable static access to DAM image renditions. See these blog posts:
it enables you to link directly to certain renditions, by appending &Rendition=RenditionName to your image URLS (even the /webcenter/content/conn format). Perhaps this can help you achieve your goal.
3. Re: Using CMIS in Content Presenter to retrieve a DAM image renditionBillUK Nov 15, 2012 11:08 AM (in response to Jaap Spiering)Thanks for your responses.
Jiri - I had also read somewhere that this isn't supported currently using a CMIS but wasn't 100% sure. I have raised an SR with Oracle.
Jaap - Thanks for those links. I have seen the first one previously. Our requirement also involves retrieving images based on the values of custom fields which we have created for which values are supplied during check in. E.g. a DeptId field which is populated during check in, and when retrieving content in Content Presenter we use a CMIS query to retrieve content based on the DeptId value. This is why CMIS would have been ideal. I am not sure whether accessing the static images as outlined in those blog posts would still enable to do this, but will investigate.

He forced himself to get a grip. He was fed up with this. He needed to confront the cellar.
Craig went back for a torch. Down in the cellar again he swung it in an arc into every corner, watching the shadows jump like ink running over paper. The light, moving with his hand, created circles of clarity in the shadows; the old chest of drawers, the large iron hooks where tools had once been hung, an old chair, stacked crates of junk no one had thrown away, and something else.
The hairs rose on his arms, his fingers and toes tingling as they did when he came inside on a winter day. A breeze, cold and smelling of the outdoors, touched his face.
He could see nothing, yet there was something, even if it was only feeling. Energy in the air, a ripple like rising heat that distorted what was behind, or the pricking of static sparks, attracting and repelling. Pressure built as he took a step forward, as if the air changed. His ears popped, just like on a flight, and he swallowed automatically.
The ground shivered - what he imagined a tremor might feel like. He had a sense of being surrounded, an implacable density, knowing and alien. The crates shifted and old paint-pots on a high shelf danced and jittered about. One of them fell, rolling. He jumped, his heart pounding a crazy beat, and it missed his foot, trundling past him.
Craig's hand shook, he couldn't keep the beam of the torch straight. It bounced and flowed, sending the shadows careening, lengthening around him.
Something came out of the darkness. He didn't have time to cry out, only for a moment of stricken terror for what was rushing up at him so quickly he couldn't see it, only aware of the disturbance of its passing, and then nothing...

Serious Business: #Oscars2014 Provisions
Folks, the Oscars are serious bzness in the Beez house. I try to see all the best picture nominees before awards day, but this year the only one I've seen is Gravity. I wanted to hate it, but it was actually pretty good. Not quite best picture material though. Luckily I didn't pack this weekend full of activities, so I may be able to watch a couple more on OnDemand before the big day.
But the even more vital preparations for the big day: Snacks and beverages!
We'll be sipping champagne for sure, but I need to square away the snacks situation. Pittsburgh Popcorn's got Spicy Bacon Cheddar on the menu this week, so that may be a "must get." I'm low on ideas for other things. I suppose I could cook, but I'm not much in the mood to, so take-out may be the way to go.
What are yinz snackin on during the Oscars this year?
What are your picks for the awards? I haven't followed closely enough to have solid picks this year. I am just excited about how Baby Beez is going to LOSE HER MIND when Idina Menzel comes out to sing Let it Go.

Formoterol, fenoterol, and salbutamol as partial agonists for relaxation of maximally contracted guinea pig tracheae: Comparison of relaxation with receptor binding

In severe asthma attacks ß2-sympathomimetics lose part of their therapeutic efficiency. To elucidate this loss of efficiency in an experimental model we compared the relaxant potency of salbutamol (SAL), fenoterol (FEN), formoterol (FOR), and (−)-isoprenaline (ISO) in guinea pig tracheae partially and maximally precontracted by 0.1 and 60 μol/L carbachol, respectively. In partially precontracted tracheae the ß2-sympathomimetics exerted maximum relaxation in comparison with ISO and low EC50s (nmol/L) for relaxation (SAL, 20; FEN, 5.6; FOR, 0.28; and ISO, 2.5). In maximally precontracted tracheae, however, the ß2-sympathomimetics were only partial agonists for relaxation with reduced intrinsic activities (%) in comparison to ISO (SAL, 59%; FEN, 61%; FOR, 76%) and significantly increased EC50s (nmol/L) for relaxation (SAL, 130; FEN, 57; FOR, 3.0; ISO, 37). To investigate if the high relaxant potency of FOR is correlated with a higher binding affinity and/or a higher intrinsic activity for adenylate cyclase stimulation than for FEN and SAL, we performed experiments in receptor membranes from guinea pig lung. Binding competition of SAL, FEN, and FOR with [3H]ICI 118,551 for lung ß2-adrenoceptors yielded dissociation constants (KD) of 320 (SAL), 120 (FEN), and 7.6 (FOR) nmol/L, which exhibited the same ranking as EC50s for relaxation. Concentrations of SAL, FEN, and FOR equivalent to 100 KD of the respective dissociation constants stimulated ß2-adrenoceptor-coupled adenylate cyclase with different intrinsic activities (%) incomparison to ISO (SAL, 61%; FEN, 63%; FOR, 89%) matching intrinsic activities for relaxation. From these experiments it may be concluded that FOR might improve drug therapy of severe asthma not only due to its long mode of action discovered in clinical studies but also due to its high intrinsic activity and receptor affinity.

From the day fall camp kicks off until the season opener, each college team gets 29 practices to get offenses running, depth charts finalized and a plan in place for the upcoming season.
Practice times are regulated by the NCAA, so the Buckeyes – along with every other team in college football – have five days of one-a-day practices followed by two-a-days. In one week, the Buckeyes will practice nine times – the most for any one-week period during the year, according to offensive coordinator Jim Bollman.
Count OSU linebackers coach Luke Fickell as one person who thinks the schedule is a little out of whack.
"The worst part, I think, is having one-a-days to start with because you get in the mode of a one-a-day," he said. "Then all of a sudden after five days you throw a two-a-day in there and they're dragging. Even the coaches will."
The solution, he said, is to move two-a-days to the beginning of camp so when one-a-days come around, the players appreciate them more. Still that would not change the fact that camp is a grueling experience for the players and coaches alike.
When asked what his favorite part of camp was, junior tailback Maurice Wells was as diplomatic as possible.
"Going to the hotel at night and going to sleep," he said. "Camp is rough, especially during two-a-days."
Fun And Games Off The Field The hectic pace of camp has not kept the Buckeyes from enjoying at least a little bit of spare time. With the release of both NCAA Football and Madden 2008, the players have been taking a little time to spend a little quality time with their video game systems.
In a showdown of two of the team's top two video gamers, Wells said he defeated senior fullback Dionte Johnson in Madden after the senior went out and bought a copy.
To beat Johnson, Wells said he called upon the help of an old friend.
"He had the Patriots; I had the Saints," Wells said. "I killed him. I put (former OSU tailback Antonio Pittman) in the game. Pitt's pretty good in the game too. He stepped in for Reggie Bush."
Not that he always plays with the Buckeyes, however. On NCAA Football, Wells admitted to preferring to play as the USC Trojans.
"They have a great offense and they're pretty good on the game," he said.
What's In A Nickname? It turns out that while many of the 2007 Buckeyes have nicknames, not all of them are completely welcome.
Daniel Herron often goes by "Boom." Few players on the team call Chris Wells by his first name, instead preferring the moniker "Beanie" he brought with him to OSU. The team's 2007 media guide lists other nicknames such as "Chim" (Chimdi Chekwa), "Tank" (Tyler Whaley) and "B-Smeezy" (Brandon Smith).
While Beanie was never questioned about his nickname, junior wide receiver Brian Robiskie said he had never really thought about it either.
Until he was asked about it, at least.
"I've never really thought about it, but now that I'm thinking it probably doesn't fit him at all," Robiskie said. "But that's his nickname so he can stick with it. When you call him 'Chris' he's like, 'What did you just call me?' I just call him Beanie."
As it turns out, he has never really endorsed his own nickname, "Robo." It was given to him during his freshman season when former OSU wideout Roy Hall cornered him in a team meeting room and would not let him leave until he had a new nickname.
"(My dad) calls me Brian," he said.
When asked what he prefers, Robiskie said, "My dad calls me Brian."

BTB: We spent Part II looking at possible additions on offense. Today, let's jump over to the other side of the ball - and directly to the defensive line. The Cowboys are well-stocked with five techniques (3-4 defensive ends), but they are a moribund group at best, which is why some pundits are saying the Cowboys will spend their first round pick on a defensive lineman. What do you think of the "big uglies" that are likely to be under consideration at the fourteenth pick - Dontari Poe, Fletcher Cox and Michael Brockers? Long Ball: I wouldn't spend #14 on Poe. He would be a trade-down target because I have gone back and re-graded his game tape at Memphis after his performance at the Combine and I still see an under-performer. His one sack came against that basketball powerhouse Austin Peay! He has a tendency to get too high and loses leverage. If you bring him in, he's sharing snaps with Josh Brent; is that good utilization of a first half of the first round draft choice? I'm afraid of workout warriors, and if I'm going to be platooning NT's, I'll do it by spending a later round draft choice.
