English Toffee
Recipe by Tom Lambie
Right for the English country side. This sweet treat will be loved by all.
Top Review by Brenda.
Yum! My arm is still sore from stirring for 30 minutes :) but I have to say it was worth it. I kept a few pieces plain, a few chocolate only, and the rest as the recipes directs with nuts. My fave? Chocolate and nuts! My candy really didn't seem like it was coming together until the candy thermometer hit about 265-270. Then is started to get a light golden color and the consistency started changing quite a bit. I thought it was starting to separate at about 285 but instead of vigorous stirring I used more of a folding motion and that brought it back together nicely. Made in honor of St Georges Day. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=332522

Stones are found in small piles in Pikmin and Pikmin 2. Their use is exactly the same as that of the Nectar Weed. Pikmin begin to dig at the stones as they pass over it or are directed to it by the Captain. Stones sometimes produce Nectar as Pikmin destroy it.
As with the Nectar Weed, stones are found in every area in Pikmin, and only in overworld locations such as the Perplexing Pool and Wistful Wild in Pikmin 2.

I'm using MDT to build OS images, and WDS to PXE boot the image and install. It's working well, but since I have several models to cover, my Windows 7 Professional image drivers are split into groups, and the process determines which model the deployment is on and only provides those. Specifically, this is the guide I followed: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Deploying-Windows-7-Part26.html%C2%A0; This has worked well for a Latitude E6510, Optiplex 980, and Precision T3500 so far.
However, I now have a Precision M4500 laptop to build, and it's giving me fits. The PXE boot lets me pick Windows 7, and it starts loading the deployment, but before it can ask for share credentials it blue screens, saying "Windows Driver Framework has detected that a violation has occured. Stop: 0x00000010D". I had a similar screen on the E6510, but changing SATA from Intel RTT to AHCI resolved it. The M4500 has not been so fortunate. I found online that an E6410 had a similar problem resolved by disabling the HDD free fall sensor; however, that has not worked either.
I've tried downloading all the current drivers for the M4500 from Dell, and then replaced them with the CAB files also from Dell. Neither has worked. Also just tried removing all drivers except chipset and NIC. I'm about ready to just install as normal, but we're expecting a lot of new hires in the coming months so it'd be worth having each model working with this.
Mar 18, 2011 at 11:01 UTC
It might be worth adding a boot.wim and install.wim directly from the Windows 7 installation source in that case (maybe adding the nic drivers only). If the error occurs with that basic image then its definitely something about the hardware that 7 doesn't like and you can start narrowing down the possibilities.

Hi, I think it might be the network drivers that are doing it. Have you tried adding the drivers to the boot image in WDS (network and SATA drivers)?
Is this a vanilla Windows 7 install using the standard boot.wim from the install media?
Mar 18, 2011 at 9:21 UTC
I used MDT to grab the full Windows 7 installation source from my volume licensing DVD. Once it was imported I built my driver structure, added a few applications, and set up my task sequence. Once MDT built an image I added that as a boot image to WDS. WDS in my case is only doing PXE boot image, MDT is doing all the configuration. Each image I've built always has NIC drivers - I fought my Optiplex 980 over those enough forget them :)
One interesting thing is that my Vista, Server 2008, and Server 2008 R2 boot images all boot on this laptop, which means it's something specifically with 7. Since I won't be doing too much Vista imaging I just put all my drivers in one folder on that. The Servers have even less - the only drivers on those are Intel NIC, Areca RAID, and Dell PERC.

Mar 18, 2011 at 11:28 UTC
Yeah, I actually just created a new image with only NIC drivers, and it works - something's up with my primary image. It'll have to wait till Monday, but for now I have no clue what's wrong with it.

1st Post
Not sure what the ultimate answer is, but I got it to work using version A02 of the Dell cab file and setting the SATA config in BIOS to ATA. It figures there's another error in a Dell cab file...
Mar 21, 2011 at 9:46 UTC
Apparently it was my image - I created a new image from scratch this morning and am getting further, in that it's not blue screening on me. It is however rebooting after providing share credentials, but progress is progress.
Interestingly WDS said my original image was over 10GB, while all my others (including the new one) are around 1GB. The original had been reworked and rebuilt so many times it might be best to be dropping it.
Mar 21, 2011 at 9:53 UTC
i tried again this morning with the settings that worked Friday and it blue-screened again. i guess i just have a hard time believing it's the image, in my case, as the same image works for other pc's without issues. And given the past history with the 6410/6510 cab files from dell...
Mar 21, 2011 at 11:18 UTC
Pro-tip: when you copy customsettings.ini from one share to another, make sure to change the task sequence name or your deployment will crash :)
My M4500 is now running its deployment. I went ahead and completely removed the original image and will be trying the new one on a few models today. Glad to finally be on the road to getting this laptop out the door.
Mar 21, 2011 at 2:49 UTC
Sounds good, Bryan. I've found another way that's been working ok my last few test deployments: I point specifically to the m4500 drivers folder from a new m4500 task sequence I created (rather than from a generic dell laptop task sequence). I have the hd bios setting on ATA as well. Seems ok so far...
Mar 21, 2011 at 3:09 UTC
Sounds like that'd work too, but I'd prefer AHCI over ATA, and that part's working here. I actually forgot to set it to IRTT, but honestly I'm not worried about that. I'm pretty pleased with the ability for the sequence to pick up the model of the machine being imaged and apply only those drivers.

Here's the short answer on why this grinder is worth $479: It has the serious quality of a professional level espresso grinder, with precision adjustment to achieve the perfect espresso shot, yet it can switch to your favorite French press or coffee maker setting without losing your micro espresso setting. There's no need to keep two grinders around, and no frustration in trying to remember which setting brought you that ideal espresso shot, even after the power is turned off! The Vario is a commercial grinder with 54mm ceramic flat burrs with a throughput of 1.9 grams per second and an innovative, macro/micro grind adjustment with 230 settings. The sleek contemporary design, small foot print, and adjustability for any style of coffee also make it perfect as a home grinder.
Mahlkönig 54mm Ceramic Flat Burrs. Mahlkönig is a powerhouse in the world of professional grinders. Baratza teamed up with Mahlkönig to bring you thesehigh quality burrs that stay sharper longer. Ceramic has a 1.5- 2.0 x longer life than steel burrs.It also serves to keep the coffee cool by limiting the amount of heat transferred from the burrs to the grinds.
Grind on Demand. The Vario will grind only the precise amount you require for each shot directly into your espresso porta filter.This eliminates the risk of stale ground coffee common in mechanical dosing units. This function is also useful for coffee makers or french presses, as you no longer have to measure with a scoop. Simply figure out how many secondsof grinding produce the desired amount, then memorize the time with one of the three buttons designated for Espresso, French Press, and Drip Maker.This timer has 0.1 second adjustable steps (0.2 grams).
Dual Cam Grind Adjustment. The Vario boasts an innovative dual cam grind adjustment. The right hand lever lets you choose what type of grind you'd like, from espresso to french press or similar. The lever on the left lets you fine tune the grind within the range you've selected for a perfect grind. Over 230 grind settings are available.
Powerful motor. Driving the grinder is a powerful DE motor that turns slowly, resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits expanded grinding time. You will be amazed at the super quiet operation from the belt drive.The circuitry is equipped with an automatic reset thermal switch. To make espresso pulling even easier, the Vario is equipped with a PortaHolder, a universally adjustable bracket for any portafilter that permits hands-free operation.
What's Included
- Grinder, Hopper, Lid, Grounds bin, PortaHolder, and Instruction manual.
- Warranty: 1 year
- 54mm ceramic burrs
- 180 Watts
- 10 macro, 26 micro grind settings
- Powerful DC motor
- Designed by Baratza in Seattle
- Upgraded display board that saves your grind settings, even after the power is shut off.
Doserless grinders dispense coffee directly into the portafilter. When combined with a grind timer, this design improves coffee freshness, consistency and minimizes waste.
Programmable Settings
These grinders can eliminate the variable of how much coffee is ground by controlling grind time or grind weight. For espresso, once grind volume is set, simply adjust the grind gradually finer or courser to create that perfect 25 second 1.5oz espresso shot. Not only can this ease the learning curve and greatly improve consistency of espresso shots, it also improves cleanliness by letting you dispense exactly the amount of coffee you want.
Step Adjustment
Stepped adjustment is incremental with defined "clicks" to indicate changes. The size of the grind adjustment depends on the model, but some models offer nearly infinite adjustment for fine tuning espresso shots, while some offer easier all purpose adjustment between drip coffee, French press, etc. Visual markers for adjustment can simplify the learning curve with a chart of recommended settings for various brew methods.

COPPERAS COVE — The school board on Tuesday approved a resolution asking the state Legislature to vote against vouchers, taxpayer savings grants, franchise tax credits and other mechanisms that funnel public tax dollars into private schools.
"We want to make sure current funding for public schools stays where it is," said Inez Faison, Cove ISD board secretary.
The trustees are teaming up with other school districts across the state in opposing the vouchers, which redirect the flow of education funding, channeling it to individual families instead of school districts, according to www.schoolchoices.org.
Joe Burns, superintendent, said funding for public schools is the board first priority, and what it wants to communicate to legislators.
"We are not opposed to funding for private schools," Burns said. "(But) it's a small pot of funds. Don't take out of the pot if you want to fund private schools."

LANSING —A North Carolina Department of Transportation Scenic Byway designation proposed for Ashe County will be shorter than originally planned — but it's still expected to help put Lansing on the map for travelers.
That's according to Lansing Town Clerk Marcy Little, who said the NCDOT recommended the scenic byway the town applied for in August, be shortened to help keep the route as scenic as possible.
"They wanted to pinpoint where the scenic byway is mostly being heralded and that is in the Warrensville, Lansing area," Little said. "That is the most scenic part of the byway."
Originally, the proposed scenic byway was an extension of the New River Valley Byway, beginning at the intersection of N.C. 88 and N.C. 194 in West Jefferson and continuing through Warrensville and Lansing to the Virginia State line.
But now, if approved, Lansing's scenic byway would be it's own standalone route called Big Horse Creek Scenic Byway. It would begin at the N.C. 88/N.C. 194 intersection in Warrensville and take travelers through Lansing on to South Big Horse Creek Road, to Ripshin Road, to Whenlin Ridge road, to Farmers Store Road, to the Virginia state line.
Community Support
The West Jefferson Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a resolution endorsing the creation of the Big Horse Creek Scenic Byway during their meeting on Monday, Jan. 4, after previously adopting a resolution in support of the extension of the New River Valley Byway in June of 2015.
According to Little, the town of Jefferson and other members of the community have also shown support for the proposal.
In April of 2015, the town of Lansing asked community members and business owners to submit letters to state transportation officials showing their support of the scenic byway — and they came through. Little says that more than 100 letters were submitted.
Bring on the tourists
According to the resolution approved by West Jefferson Aldermen, the NCDOT has developed a system of designated scenic byways across the state with the purpose of identifying and highlighting scenic roads with unusual, exceptional or unique intrinsic qualities.
The resolution also states that scenic byways help provide rural areas with additional tourism opportunities, potentially increasing the number of visitors to local businesses and sites.
"It is more or less a tourist, economic development push to help bring people to this area," Little said.
According to Little, the state will put the new scenic byway on a map that is displayed at rest areas, letting people know that Lansing and the surrounding areas are great, scenic places to visit.
"That will actually show the scenic byway routes and people actually plan their trips using those routes," Little said.
Little also said that the scenic byway will take tourists right by the Lansing Creeper Trail Park expansion which is currently underway.
According to Little, the Big Horse Creek Scenic Byway could be approved as early as March when the information is proposed during an annual report to the NCDOT.

Invasion of Hot Aliens
I really love SF movies, since I was a kid. Maybe it's kinda silly child's dream – to be a pilot, and explore universe, discovering new worlds and alien species. Yes, species; they had to have females, yes? How lucky I am that the writers, directors and producers of these movies seem to had same dreams about alien babes. It might be an odd attraction, but attraction it is. These are my favorite ladies from other planets. Have a close encounter of any kind with these lovely, extraterrestrial fems.
Gaila – Star Trek 2009
Home Planet: Orion
J.J. Abrams admits he wasn't big on the original Star Trek series as a youngster, but he delivered exactly the kind of fan service Trekkies, Trekkers and casual Trek followers love in the form of Gaila: gorgeous, busty and green.
Serleena – Men in Black 2
Home Planet: Kylothia
Serleena rides around the universe in a spaceship no bigger than J's Noisy Cricket – but since when does size count? It's all about packing a punch, and the part-plant, part-Victoria Secret model can vine whip any measly human out of her path in a matter of seconds. Must be the fertilizer.
Kara Zor-El – Supergirl
Home Planet: Krypton (in the pocket of trans-dimensional space known as Argo City)
Kara Zor-El took on the identity of Supergirl and arrived on Earth in hopes of finding the magical Omegahedron, but little did she realize she also gave hopes to an entire world. With both a male and female Kryptonian on the planet, the chances of getting laid by someone with superpowers doubled!
Princess Aura – Flash Gordon
Home Planet: Mongo
Aura doesn't wear massive amounts of eye shadow to up her weight class. No, it's to get with everyone on Mongo and its outlying satellites. She juggles Flash, Prince Barin, probably Zarkov off-screen at some point. Wouldn't be surprising. Oh, don't think of this as judgment – I'm just jealous.
Princess Neytiri – Avatar
Home Planet: Pandora
We thought fanciful braids were just for chicks until we realized the Na'vi use them to "connect" to one another. Then again, they also use them to "connect" to horses…whatever, kinky's fine.
Jenny – Doctor Who
Home Planet: Messaline
Jenny is the closest the Doctor has come to procreating, having been rapidly grown by the soldiers of Messaline using the time travelers DNA. Whether this makes her a true Time Lord is up for debate, but the girl houses the race's trademark two hearts, which means she'll at least have a whole lot of lovin' to give.
Kitty – Cocoon
Home Planet: Antarea
Skinny dipping is ten times more fun when you're doing it with a former resident of Atlantis in a pool of energized lifeforce. Don't be afraid of the glow, it's natural!
Diva Plavalaguna – The Fifth Element
Home Planet: Unknown
The operatic alien serves multiple purposes aboard the luxury space cruise hovering above Fhloston Paradise, but it wasn't her rendition of "Oh, giusto cielo!…Il dolce suono" that put a bullet through her head. Unfortunately, Diva was also entrusted with the four existing elements, making her blue blood a target of the Mangalores. The old saying is true: it's all over when the blue, tentacled woman sings.
Trance Gemini – Andromeda
Home Planet: Vedran Sun
Trance is the George Washington Carver of the Andromeda Ascendant, acting as the chief's evironmental officer and chief biologist. Unlike George Washington Carver, Trance was born from a sun and can turn herself into pure energy and unleash her own personal supernova. At least, I don't recall hearing George Washington Carver having that particular ability.
T'Pol – Star Trek: Enterprise
Home Planet: Vulcan
She's sworn to protect the human race, including creating the first human/Vulcan hybrid. You already know she's down for some human love.
Teela – Masters of the Universe
Home Planet: Eternia
It was hard to carve out space in a movie packed with He-Man's excessively bulked-up muscles and Courtney Cox's giant hair-do, but Teela stands out as a go-to warrior and friend. She's no Battle Cat, but the smile more than makes up for it.
Dejah Thoris – John Carter of Mars
Home Planet: Mars
The love interest of the title character in Edgar Rice Burroughs's John Carter of Mars, Dejah Thoris is a Martian princess who would seem equally at home as a Conan damsel in distress. Oh, and her people wear no clothes. Hello, early twentieth century literary gratuity!
Xev/Zev Bellringer – Lexx
Home Planet: Lexx
Zev Bellringer (later to become "Xev" after a death and resurrection) begins her journey on Lexx by being imprisoned and sentenced to becoming a love slave. The transition process gets as far as modifying her body, but a roaming lizard creature breaks the machine before Zev's mind can be rewritten. As a bonus, her DNA fuses with the lizard's, turning her into a highly libidinous and extremely conflicted space girl with disturbing reptilian superpowers. Originally played by Eva Habermann and later – after the "Xev" transition – Xenia Seeberg.
Galaxina – Galaxina
Home Planet: Unknown (possibly Australia)
Knowing how the world works, expect the first major advancement in the technology of public-use robotics to be related to porn. They've got the money. While we wait, indulge in Galaxina, a robot/alien played by Playboy playmate Dorothy Stratten.
Dame Vaako – Chronicles of Riddick
Home Planet: Helion Prime
Dame Vaako is the Hilary Clinton of Necromongers. While her husband takes the power position, she stands in the background and plays puppetmaster – and she looks pretty sexy doing it. Moreso than say, Hilary Clinton.
Padme Amidala – Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Home Planet: Naboo
She's an angel……or just a kick-ass queen who doesn't take sh*t from the Trade Federation or her pissy Jedi husband. She's a take-charge lady, ready to rock the mid-riff and blaster combo when necessary. You don't find many of those in galaxies far, far, away.
Jadzia Dax – Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Home Planet: Trill
Any woman adept at Ferengi tongo is good in our book. Jadzia is the eigth host of the Dax symbiote, meaning she carries seven lifetimes worth of memories in her noggin. As long as the Dax symbiote isn't some weird STD we can pick up, I'm big fan of this Trill hottie.
Sil – Species
Home Planet: Earth, but her DNA is otherworldly
Scientists, they never learn. Ben Kingsley and team splice DNA found in a SETI transmission to disasterous results: they create a beautiful, sex-driven woman. Why are all the good women in this world genetically mutated aliens look to breed?! GEEZ.
Inara Serra – Serenity
Home Planet: Sihnon
One day, all female aliens will be played by Morena Baccarin. In Firefly/Serenity, Baccarin played Inara, a companion (like an even classier Geisha) who helped Captain Mal out of some of his stickier situations. Since they were romantically connected, Inara probably helped Mal get in to some of his stickiest situations (ew, gross).
Alice – Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Home Planet: Cybertron
In Transformers 2, Michael Bay finally found a way to fuse the two things he loves most: destructive technology and gorgeous, tan women. The two passions fuse into the Terminatrix-esque Decepticon Alice, who will quickly French Kiss any guy to the grave.
Anna – V
If aliens are meant to be so intelligent, then why do they seem to consistently send leaders to Earth who have massive bulging foreheads, spindly fingers and flabby green bellies? Send a leader that looks like V's Anna, and you'll have the world's leaders in the palm of your extraterrestrial hand. There's no way Obama and the boys could resist succumbing to her naughty short haired sexiness!
Leeloo – The Fifth Element
Underrated sci-fi epic The Fifth Element featured a ditzy, tough as hell, red-headed alien babe as its protagonist. Played by Mila Jovovich, Leeloo spent a satisfyingly large amount of time showing just enough skin to get us all warmed up, and not so much that we couldn't watch it when we were 12.
Caprica Six – Battlestar Galactica
Who would have ever thought there could be a redeeming feature to the world's most, er, earnest sci-fi franchise? Sure, Battlestar Galactica had its moments back in the day. But there was only so much of the same shot of plastic models fighting in space one could take before throwing an implement at the TV due to perilous levels of boredom. Then the new series appeared with improved scripts and Tricia Helfer's barely clad space globes, and all of a sudden we were addicted again. She might technically be a robot, but she's certainly not made from metal, and she's definitely not from Earth. What's more, there are thousands of identical copies of her.

Star Wars: The Old Republic represents a departure from traditional online role-playing games in that it's a mashup of the story-driven RPGs that developer BioWare is famous for with traditional MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft and EverQuest.
As is standard MMORPG procedure, players choose a class of character -- and customize the character, choosing gender and race -- to begin their Star Wars adventure. But each class has been given a rich story arc to experience.
So far, the game's writers penned – and actors recorded – 260,000 lines of dialogue for the game for the eight primary story arcs, each one "inspired by the iconic characters in the movies," says BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka. "Like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, not literally them, but like their version 3,000 years before the movies."
For more on the game, see our story 'Star Wars' universe gets bigger'
Such an expansive project gave the creative team a chance to flex its collective muscles, says lead writer Daniel Erickson. Along with game director James Ohlen and lead designer Emmanuel Lusinchi, Erickson had worked on Dragon Age: Origins and the team wondered if there was any way to bring those character origin stories to the Star Wars game. "It was almost ironic that the MMO genre, which was sort of pigeonholed as the place where you couldn't do storytelling, became the place where we did the most personal and the most specific storytelling we had ever done," he says.
Erickson breaks down the classes and touches on their stories:
The Galactic Republic classes
-- Trooper. This class lets you enlist in the heavily-armored Republic military. "As far as genre pieces, I can't imagine that something like the trooper would have ever gotten done as a standalone RPG," Erickson says, "but you get to do this fantastic sort of Band of Brothers story to see what it would be like to be soldier in the field."
-- Jedi Knight. Like Luke, you can let the Force flow through you. "The Jedi Knight plays very much like a classic BioWare game. You are the paladin out there righting wrongs and taking on bad guys," he says.
-- Jedi Consular. If you are more of a fan of Obi-Wan Kenobi or Qui-Gon Jinn, consider this class "the thinking man's Jedi," Erickson says. This character "is really questioning what is happening and trying to go the diplomatic route."
-- The Smuggler. Just as Han Solo saw reasons to align with the Rebel Alliance, so do smugglers team up with the Republic. "We all wanted Luke Skywalker's powers as a kid but we wanted to be Han. He was the awesome one, he got the girl. He was super-cool. And the Smuggler lets you do that," says Erickson. "It's an action comedy, it's larger than life. You are always getting into trouble and everything explodes in your face and you've got flirt lines and romances."
The Sith Empire
-- Sith Warrior. This character class "is very much the Darth Vader fantasy," Erickson says. "He really is sort of Sith aristocracy. He comes from a very privileged background and is sort of marked for greatness." Each class eventually specializes; this one has an option to be a dual-wielding Marauder. To see each of the advanced specialties your character can aspire to go to the Star Wars: The Old Republic site.
-- Sith Inquisitor. A class "for people who loved the Emperor," he says. The inquisitor "is crafty and very prone to slick diplomacy and hiding. He is sort of the evil mage and the vizier character. He actually starts as a slave that is found to be Force-sensitive and is thrown into the trials and told, 'Here, you become a Sith or you die.'"
-- Bounty Hunter. This character is based on Boba Fett "and all the great bounty hunter characters we have loved," Erickson says. "It was very much conceived as and done very much as a Western. You are one guy with a gun wandering the galaxy, taking jobs and just trying to live your own life and make your way out there."
-- Imperial Agent. A unique character class and not a mirror image of the Republic trooper. "We went with something that was sort of half-KGB and half-Jack Bauer," Erickson says. "So you have got a little bit of living in the SS and being the guy behind the power and the guy that knows the secrets in the Empire. It's actually a little bit more of a mature story and a little bit more complicated because it's the triple-crossing spy plots and it brings something really interesting to the Star Wars role-playing game landscape."
Mike Snider began covering the video game industry during the Super Nintendo-Sega Genesis clash in 1992. An original pinball wizard, he eventually was seduced by Robotron: 2084 and Tempest. These days he is a fan of action/shooters and lives out his Keith Moon fantasies playing a mean drum kit on music games. More about Mike.

Price realised USD 55,000
A Wood Seated Figure of Yakushi Nyorai (Bhaisajyaguru)
Heian period (late 12th century)
The seated Yakushi Nyorai (Buddha of Healing) constructed in yosei-zukuri technique, with the right hand in a gesture bestowing fearlessness and the left hand holding a medicine jar, the robes open at the chest and draping across the left arm and the crossed legs; seated on a lotus dais with traces of gilt
33 7/8in. (86cm.) high (figure only); 46½in. (118cm.) high (including dais)
New York +1 212 636 2000
London +44 (0)20 7839 9060
Hong Kong +852 2760 1766
Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
Yakushi Nyorai (Bhaisajyaguru, meaning "Medicine Master") is the Buddha associated with healing. While early Buddhist texts credit Sakyamuni, the Historical Buddha, with unparalleled healing powers, gradually these qualities were expressed in some of the surrounding bodhisattvas such as Yakushi. While still a bodhisattva, he made twelve vows, two of which were to do with physical and mental healing, and upon fulfilling these he became a Buddha presiding over the realm known as "Pure Lapis Lazuli" in the eastern quarter. There he is attended by two bodhisattvas, Nikko and Gakko (Solar and Lunar Radiance). The popularity of the Buddha of Healing in Japan reaches back as far as the 7th century, when a cult around the deity was formed primarily among nobility at the imperial court. His iconographical attributes have come to be a medicine jar held in the palm of his left hand, and his right hand raised, palm facing out, in the mudra bestowing fearlessness. Early representations of the Buddha of Healing did not feature a medicine jar and he was almost indistinguishable from the Historical Buddha.
This seated Buddha of Healing is representative of typical late Fujiwara-period Buddhist sculpture. Wooden sculptures from this period are relatively rare and this example uses to good effect the grain of the cypress wood. The natural patterns present in the wood grain form gentle, flowing contours across the chest, belly and face of the statue.
The tranquil expression with wide, lidded eyes, rounded features and soft, voluminous contours are common in Fujiwara-period sculpture. However, this statue also seems to exhibit an atmosphere of willful energy, expressed in a well-grounded, cross-legged seated position, imparting a sense of strength. The shallow, flowing drapery simply rendered, is a trait that was further developed and popularized in the Buddhist sculpture of the Kamakura period. The treatment of the robes, together with the other more definitive Fujiwara-period traits, have led Buddhist scholars in Japan to conjecture that this seated Buddha of Healing dates to the 12th century.

text: Show Hide image Poetry 6 February 2014 "Nagasaki: Midori's Rosary": a poem by Rowan Williams Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The air is full of blurred words. Something has changed in the war's weather. The children (whose children will show me this) have been sent to the country. In the radiology lab, Takashi fiddles, listening to the ticking bomb in his blood cells, thinks, once, piercingly, of her hands and small mouth, knotting him in to the long recital of silent lives under the city's surface, the ripple of blurred Latin, changing nothing in the weather of death and confession, thinks once, in mid-morning, of a kitchen floor, flash-frozen. When, in the starburst's centre, the little black mouth opens, then clenches, and the flaying wind smoothes down the grass and prints its news black on bright blinding walls, when it sucks back the milk and breath and skin, and all the world's vowels drown in flayed throats, the hard things, bone and tooth, fuse into consonants of stone, Midori's beads melt in a single mass around the shadow with its blackened hands carved with their little weeping lips. Days earlier, in Hiroshima, in what was left of the clinic chapel, little Don Pedro, turning from the altar to say, The Lord be with you, heard, suddenly, what he was about to claim, seeing the black lips, the melted bones, and so, he said, he stood, his small mouth open, he never knew how long, his hands out like a starburst, while the dialogue of stony voiceless consonants ground across the floor, like gravel in the wind, and the two black mouths opened against each other, Nobody knowing for a while which one would swallow which. * A note on the poem: Midori Nagai was a young housewife from an old Nagasaki Catholic family who died in the bomb blast in 1945; her husband (Takashi) was a radiologist, and after the war became a peace activist. The melted rosary is preserved at a museum in Nagasaki commemorating Takashi Nagai's work. Rowan Williams is a poet, critic and theologian, and former archbishop of Canterbury. He is Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge.

I'm down--we had a good mini-meetup last year at lunch. ĀHow about trying to get something together on Wed or Thurs night?
Surge [1] is scalability focused conference in late September hosted in
Baltimore. ĀIt's a pretty cool conference with a good mix of
operationally minded people interested in scalability, distributed
systems, systems level performance and good stuff like that. ĀYou should
go! [2]
For those of you who like historical trivia Mike Malone gave a well
recieved Cassandra talk at the first SurgeCon in 2010 [3].

Lambert II, Count of Louvain
|Lambert II
|Count of Louvain
|Oda of Verdun
Henry II, Count of Louvain
|Noble family
|House of Reginar
|Lambert I, Count of Louvain
|Gerberga of Lower Lorraine
|19 June 1054
Lambert II (died Tournai, June 19, 1054) was count of Louvain between 1033 and 1054. Lambert was the son of Lambert I of Louvain (d. 1015).
According to the Vita Gudilae (recorded between 1048–1051) he followed his brother Henry I of Louvain. Lambert scorned both temporal and spiritual authorities and in 1054 even took up arms against Holy Roman Emperor Henry III. He was defeated and lost his life at Tournai.
During his reign Brussels began its growth. Lambert arranged to transfer the remains of Saint Gudule to the St. Michael church. This church, thereafter known as Saints-Michel-et-Gudule, developed to become St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral. Lambert also constructed a fortress on the Coudenberg hill.
Since Lambert II died in 1054, an imperial charter of September 1062 connecting a certain Lambert to the county Brussels, is probably referring to another person.
Lambert of Louvain married Uda of Lorraine (also called Oda of Verdun), daughter of Gothelo I, Duke of Lorraine. Their children were:
- Henry II, Count of Louvain who married Adela of Orthen, a daughter of Count Everard of Orthen (or Betuwe).
- Adela of Louvain, married Otto I, Margrave of Meissen, Count of Weimar. Later married Dedi I, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark.
- Reginar (Rainier) of Louvain. Killed in the battle of Hesbaye in 1077.

I thought I'd start this one off with the grand finale rather than the beginning. You might recognize Jeremiah Johnson - one of the better-known tweaks stars around. He is currently emptying a condom full of his own jizz into Shane Allen's face - and Shane is loving every drop. There's nothing these two boys like better than sticking hot cum, and in this shoot from Jizz Addiction they both get all that they can handle. But let's go back around an hour and watch as these two horny twinks get this shoot started!
Jeremiah loves to suck cock and he is very turned on by Shane's unshaved cubes. He has Shane sit on his chest so Shane can shove his cock into Jeremiah's mouth.
When Shane is horny as hell, Jeremiah does not hesitate. He slams his twink cock deep inside Shane's hungry hole and take Shane for cock ride he won't soon forget.
We've already seen Shane get a face slowed of hot cream and now it's Jeremiah's turn. Shane drains every drop of hot cum all over Jeremiah's cute face and Jeremiah keeps sucking to be sure he gets every last drop.

Anyone have any experience with WAN accelerators? Specifically I'm interested to know what type of decrease in WAN bandwidth utilization you have seen. My situation is we are currently paying for a 1.5mb burstable fiber circuit to our off site offices where we send our backups nightly. We are currently utilizing a little over 30mb so our ISP is going to be increasing out circuit cost next month. I've been told that using a WAN accelerator would help bring our usage to below 10mb. I'm curious what others have seen.
Thanks in advance

IT Journey, LLC is an IT service provider.
The acceleration that you may get will depend on the file type that you are transmitting. If you are talking about backups and moving always unique data I doubt that a WAN acceleration device/service will really help you. You could try looking at a dedupe solution to work with your backup system so that way you are minimizing the storage space required for backup, thus reducing the necessary pipe to transmit the backup over the WAN.
If you still want to look at a WAN accelerator, take a look at SteelHead from RiverBed and FatPipe WAN Acceleration, Kompressor.
From my understanding a WAN accelerator would help more for DFS or remote data server access. The appliance would "cache" the data and only download the changed bits (for supported file formats) the next time the data is called up from the remote location. The you are always accessing completely new data, then the accelerator will have to transmit the entire file and not just the changed bits.
What kind of backup are you doing? If you aren't already, have you considered doing a realtime backup using dedupe. Or if you have something like a NetApp NAS/SAN, you can replicate your data to another device at the other end of the pipe and (I think) after the first replication (either over the WAN or hooked on the same switch) you would just replicate your SnapShots which should be pretty fast.
Apr 8, 2010 at 4:39 UTC
Thanks for the response. I have been in discussion with Riverbed on their SteelHead accelerator and they believe we can get our approx 37gb backup that is currently taking between 4 and 4 1/2 hours down to less than 1 hr. This is just one of our nightly backups. In total we are moving about 75gb to 80gb nightly.
I have been looking at a new backup solution that offers dedup to limit the traffic as well. I've also explored using a couple of SAN's to replicate across our WAN but that is outside of our budget for now. Sounds like we are at least on the right track.
Appreciate the input.
Apr 8, 2010 at 9:33 UTC
I have to be measured with my response. I don't want to shoot any vendor down. Let's just say that many companies will promise you a rose garden but you may end up with a bed of thorns.
WAN Accelerators such as what you find in the Cisco Content Caching Engine, Packeteer, the old Peribit units and Riverbed, look for redundant packages that can be eliminated.
For the use that you've described, I don't think you'll be satisfied.
You only have a T-1 and if it's not a dedicated T-1, then you're probably not even getting 1436 of upload speed. I would find out what my true upload speed was first. I'd bet you're probably right between 750k to 1.3MB. With a WAN accelerator, you're still not going to "speed up" your pipe. You're only going to compress the amount of data that you're sending. And for backup purposes, after you've gone through compression/removal of redundant information, you're going to want to verify the backup, which is going to take additional time.
You need a combination of things. You need bandwidth. For what you'll pay for a WAN accelerator, I would do something like a 3MB pipe. Get a router and bond 2 T-1's together to make a big pipe. Create a VPN between the two if you have to and only allow specific traffic down that pipe.
I have a client that had a situation similar to yours and I ended up bonding 2 T-1's together and it works just fine for them. I put them into a Cisco 1841 and when it was all said and done, they were out something like $2000 for hardware and a couple hundred bucks a month for data. If you can't do a dedicated T-1 bundle, then go with DSL and VPN tunnels. You can get 2 broadband circuits and load balance between the two to get faster upload speeds.
So, you do have options. Just don't jump for the most expensive option because you may be disappointed. :-)

Real live data from my Riverbed.
75% total data reduction
Optimised bandwidth capacity increase 3.9 times.
We use it mostly for our Lotus Notes Databases that replicate between sites.
I wasn't involved in our implementation but I think Riverbed gave us two units to test before we committed to purchase. Try it - if they stand by their claims there shouldn't be a problem.
Apr 12, 2010 at 8:29 UTC
Thanks for the feedback. Our current circuit is 1.5mb burstable to 100mb so we do get all the extra bandwidth we need. In fact that is what has gotten us into trouble is that we do get this extra bandwidth (currently 31mb, 95% metered). Riverbed has offered us a free of charge trial for us to test in our environment, so we may take them up on their offer if we deicde to go this route.
Apr 13, 2010 at 9:51 UTC
A few notes.
First, Russel's getting great reduction because its Lotus Notes! Lotus Notes is a pig! I know, we use it globally and we have Riverbeds everywhere. We get as much as 90% reduction in Notes traffic becaues it is highly compressible.
As far as CIFS traffic (typical file xfers), yes, the WAN accellerator caches data, then the next time that SAME file is moved, it flies because the file is already cached on the receiving end's WAN accellerator. Thing is, it needs to be copied one time. The 1st time you copy a 100mb file, it may take 30 minutes. The next time and future times, 30 seconds.
These accellerators will do as much compression on all file types as they can to reduce WAN utilization. Problem being, some files just aren't very compressible, like PDFs for instance. Other file types are though and these will help.
Backups: I guess it depends on what kind of backups you are doing. If you are continually backing up files that have not changed, then they may be cached and all your backups after that first one may fly! I suppose it depends on the backup software and whether you're doing full backups every night or incrementals, etc.
WAN accelerators: Riverbeds are very nice. I prefer them over Cisco for the simple reason of the interface and quick reporting and diagnostic capabilities. Believe it or not though, they may actually be more expensive than Cisco!! Yep, its true! They are also not as transparent as Cisco WAAS on your network, as the riverbeds do proxy accelerated traffic and source it from their inline interface IPs, where Cisco devices do not proxy the traffic. Riverbed may say otherwise, we've proven they're full of it. But, that should not pose any problems.
I will say that everything riverbed told us during the sales engagement, in regards to the bandwidth savings we would likely see have been true! They're very good at what they do. I would sugguest you get a couple trial boxes in for 30 days, which they will always do for you, they'll help you set them up, then check it our for yourself. If it doesn't help, oh well, you tried!

Election reform at mercy of elected officials
By Jim Drinkard, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The push to reform the way the nation
runs elections, the hottest issue in politics a scant three months ago, has
stalled on Capitol Hill.States waiting for money to buy new voting equipment
are likely to wait a year or more for help, if they get it at all. And deeper
problems with the training of poll workers and the procedures followed by election
officials appear lost in a thicket of partisan mistrust.
"There are suspicions on both sides," says Sen. Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., chairman of the Senate panel with responsibility for election issues.
"In the end, we may conclude that it's not a major thing for the federal government
to be doing that we don't have the funds to completely revolutionize
the American voting system, even if we knew what to do."
Adds Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., "It's not at all clear
yet that help will be on the way from the federal government."
The gridlock continues despite new evidence of the impact
of voting problems in the 2000 presidential elections. A review of Florida's
presidential ballots by USA TODAY, The Miami Herald and Knight Ridder newspapers
showed that thousands of voters a potentially decisive bloc in last year's
presidential election had their ballots disqualified because of confusion,
technical problems and unclear policies.
Some on Capitol Hill are seeking to revive the issue. Last
week, the Republican chairman of the House Administration Committee, Rep. Bob
Ney of Ohio, agreed with the panel's senior Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland,
to produce legislation by year's end. But they face difficult obstacles.
Below the surface, say experts, is a dirty little secret:
Those with political power in both parties don't want to upset the system that
got them where they are.
"I have come to the conclusion that the only way you can
do anything about elections is to take all the hired guns of both parties and
lock them in a house, and keep them out of sight until you've resolved it,"
says former representative Al Swift, D-Wash., who until 1994 served on the House
panel that oversees election matters. "They are totally paranoid, they believe
that any change will hurt them, and they are often flat wrong."
Among the signs of trouble for election reform:
"The reality is that most significant things are not going
to get done by 2002," the next federal election year, says David King, a Harvard
political scientist who chairs a task force of a national election reform commission
headed by former Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. "People will be watching
those elections expecting fraud and vote suppression, and they will find both.
Then the window of opportunity for policy change will open again."
With hope waning for action in the capital, many are looking
to state legislatures. But only a few states have taken the lessons of the 2000
election to heart.
Florida adopted a comprehensive bill that gets rid of punch-card
voting and sets new standards for conducting recounts. Georgia and Maryland
have passed major bills. But in many more states, progress is sputtering. About
1,600 bills have been introduced in state legislatures, but only a tiny fraction
of those are being enacted. "If not dead in the water, it's certainly treading
water in the states right now," says Steve Rosenthal, political director of
the AFL-CIO labor federation.
"I am concerned that nothing will be in place to ensure
the integrity of the 2002 elections," says Wade Henderson, director of the Leadership
Conference on Civil Rights. "What is missing in this debate is a sense of urgency,
a sense of anger, a sense of real dismay at the 2000 election." The issue of
election reform is beginning to look as if it belongs to a class of hotly partisan
matters that have been tangled in Congress for years. They include campaign-finance
reform, the use of statistical sampling in official census calculations and
the motor-voter law that allows citizens to register to vote when they get their
driver's license. What the issues have in common is the potential for affecting
the electoral fortunes of political parties and their officeholders. "There
is tension because the outcome of elections might be influenced," says David
Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a research group
for minority issues. "People with power use that power to keep people out. ...
I am not optimistic about there being reform."
Beyond the partisan strains, says disability rights advocate
Jim Dickson, there is an even larger force that threatens to stymie election
reform: the power of incumbency. "The incumbent only wants those people who
have already voted to vote," says Dickson, who has worked on election issues
in Congress for two decades. "It is really about protecting incumbency. But
since they can't say that, they will sort of stumble into partisan gridlock
as a way to ensure the status quo. It will look like gridlock, but it's really
Alex Keyssar, a Duke University political scientist, says
that in a system dominated by two major parties, it's only natural that the
rules governing elections would be designed more for the convenience and benefit
of the parties than for the ease and accessibility of voters. "There is a lot
of commonality of interest among the 'ins,' " he says. "You want a predictable
electorate. If you don't have that, you get the election of Jesse Ventura."
Ventura was a minor-party candidate who, aided by a state law that allows voters
to register on Election Day, beat a Democrat and a Republican in 1998 to become
governor of Minnesota.
The Democratic Party clearly sees the issue as an opportunity
to energize supporters. The party has set up a Voting Rights Institute that
plans hearings to draw attention to the civil rights aspects of last year's
voting failures. A news conference in Washington recently made it clear that
the effort isn't about compromise.
At that event on the steps of the Supreme Court, Rep. Maxine
Waters, a California Democrat who heads her party's election-reform task force,
denounced Republicans for ignoring the fallout from the 2000 election.
"The Republicans are afraid of this issue," she said. "They
know if we fix this system, we are going to invite a lot more people to the
polls and, yes, they are going to be Democrats."
Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe said Republicans "should
be ashamed of themselves," as a supporter waved a sign declaring, "Our votes
have been stolen."
The Democrats have been using election reform as a fund-raising
draw, as well. One recent solicitation letter from McAuliffe begins: "Are you
angry about the outcome of the presidential election? You should be. For you
and I know this: If Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush and Jim Baker had not tampered
with the results, Al Gore would be president today, and George W. Bush would
be back in Austin."
Keyssar, the Duke political scientist, says problems are
inherent in any system that leaves reforms to be made by those with a stake
in the outcome. "The history of political parties in this country is that each
party believes fervently in the right to vote of its own supporters, and is
not too sure about everybody else."

This Radio-Controlled Running Trash Bin Makes Cleaning Up a Breeze
Call it convenience or even a gadget for very lazy people all you want, but this RC trash bin is certainly one fun-looking and useful item for a house.
Perhaps you don't want to get off your seat while playing a game, watching your favorite TV show or in the middle of a movie right in your living room but need to throw away stuff like your snack packaging and used tissues.
All you need to do is have the remote controller of the RC trash bin within an arm's length and you'll be able to remotely control it to travel to you for throwing rubbish and then out of sight immediately with minimal disruption to your ongoing activity.
Not only does this trash bin run on wheels just like an RC toy car, it can also fold into a compact size for storage when not in use.
One clever idea is to get kids and even the old ones to help clean up the house in a fun way. Simply provide them with the RC controller and have them control this running RC trash bin around the whole house while picking up unwanted garbage along the way.
The radio-controlled running trash bin is available in three colors, black, blue, and white and retails for 1600 yen on Strapya-World.

Secrets of Success
I met Jen Hendershott and Tosca Reno who are they you ask,,,,, and where was I
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
I went to the Arnold Classic with my trainer Robert McAdory of Ouch Fitness and his wife and my husband so I check this off my bucket list,, something I always wanted to go to. IT was really really crowded. I spent the last year reading "Clean Eating by Tosca Reno" the family and kids version and I am a big fan of Oxygen magazine which shows real women lifting real weights and that Tosca is over 50 and changed her life at 40 and she is freaking hot,, I have been a fan of Jen Hendershott since her early career she is pure spunk,, As I was meandering around I found the Clean Eating booth there was no line but Tosca just got back from the restroom so I was at her table buying the kids eat clean book ( my daughter is 3 so teach her right from the start) and there stood this TALL woman who I admire, for me it was like meeting my favorite celebrity so camera in hand, I was ready for my moment,, would you believe I started crying, I thought of all the hard work I have done, my idol there with me in photo and it was a dream moment, a moment that I shared with Tosca Reno that I achieved this greatness at 43- I then did a spot commercial that was awesome- and that moment was worth the drive, the braving the crowds!! I then got to meet Jen Hendershott too that was icing on the cake!!
I was just so happy that I had that opportunity. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary too and I wore my hot pink bikini ,,,

The decision, said Athletic Director Tom Jurich, is all about returning stability to a football program that lacked it for three years under the previous coaching regime.
"We really want to build stability and consistency in our program as we go forward," Jurich said. "I think Charlie has been a fabulous leader and tremendous ambassador for this university and city. We feel like we have the right coach to lead us into the future."
Though Louisville has struggled this season to a 2-4 record, Strong has shown Jurich and UofL officials that he has the program headed on the right track.
In his first season, Strong guided Louisville to its first bowl appearance in four years, beating Southern Mississippi in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl. This season, Strong's team beat rival Kentucky for the first time since 2006. Strong has also recruited extremely well, landing a Top 25 recruiting class last year.
Off the field, Strong's players have made significant progress in the classroom, as 40 players achieved 3.0 GPA's or higher last spring.
"He's very committed to turning this program into a great winner," Jurich said. "He's already worked so hard to change the culture of this program. As I told him when I hired him…I hired him to build a program. I told him not to focus on the team right now. We have a long haul and we know it, but we can certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Strong, locked up for the next several seasons, could be the coach to guide Louisville from the Big East into the Big 12.
Following the ULAA board meeting, Jurich was asked by reporters in the basement of Grawmeyer Hall on the UofL campus to provide the latest on conference realignment from UofL's perspective.
"We're in the Big East," Jurich said.
Does Jurich expect that to the case in the future?
"That will just have to play out," Jurich responded. "We want to do the best we can and enjoy the present we have right now. The Big East has been very good for us and a very good home for us."
Jurich described Louisville's conference status as "fluid." That's because the Cardinals are viewed as the leading candidate to replace Missouri in the Big 12 if the Tigers bolt for the SEC, which they are expected to do later this week.
"We have to be fluid," said Jurich. "You hear all the same things we hear. We've worked hard the last 14 years to build this into something special. We want to make sure that we prosper."
Monday night, Big East presidents voted unanimously to increase the league's departure fee from $5 million to $10 million, contingent on the addition of Navy and Air Force.
"It's something we've all looked at very hard," Jurich said. "The league is trying to create a stable situation because they were blindsided. I think this is one way they can show stability to the other schools that they're out trying to recruit right now. I think that was their main objective."
Though the Big East is trying to increase the league's exit fee, Jurich doesn't think such a move would restrict Louisville from exploring an opportunity to join the Big 12 in the future.
"Any time you add on to something like that it does restrict you, but it's not going to change our minds any way we look at it," Jurich said. "We're always going to do the best we can for the athletic department and we'll figure out the best means for us to handle this thing with. But from our standpoint we don't look at this as any kind of an obstacle."
Jurich was also asked if Louisville has entered into discussions with the Big 12. "Our focus is on the Big East," Jurich responded. "What we do we'll keep private right now."
