Date: December 29 2012
Dockworkers along the eastern US coast and the Gulf of Mexico have agreed to extend their contract for more than a month, averting a weekend strike that could have crippled major ports from Boston to Houston and bottled up billions of dollars' worth of cargo.
Talks aimed at reaching a new contract covering the 14,500 longshoremen will continue during the extension, which runs through to February 6.
The dockworkers' union and an alliance of port operators and shipping lines agreed to the extension after resolving one of the stickier points in their negotiations, involving royalty payments to longshoremen for each container they unload. Details were not disclosed.
Federal mediator George Cohen said the agreement on royalties was "a major positive step forward."
"While some significant issues remain in contention, I am cautiously optimistic that they can be resolved," he said.
The contract between the International Longshoremen's Association and the US Maritime Alliance originally expired in September. The two sides agreed to extend it once before, for 90 days, but it had been set to expire again at 12:01 am Sunday.
As recently as December 19, the president of the longshoremen's union, Harold Daggett, had said a strike was expected.
A walkout would have crippled the loading and unloading of a vast number of products, including electronics and clothing, and made it more difficult for US manufacturers to get parts and raw materials at a time when the economy is in shaky condition.
The ports involved handle about 40 per cent of all US container cargo.
Business groups expressed relief that the two sides had agreed to keep the docks running.
"A coast-wide port shutdown is not an option. It would have severe economic ramifications for the local, national and even global economies and wreak havoc on the supply chain," said National Retail Federation president Matthew Shay.
White House spokesman Matt Lehrich said: "We're pleased the parties are going to continue their work at the negotiating table and continue to urge them to reach an agreement as quickly as possible."
Major ports that would have been frozen included the massive terminals serving the New York City area and critical seaports in Savannah, Houston, and Hampton Roads.
Other ports that would have been affected are in Boston, the Philadelphia area, Baltimore, Wilmington, Charleston, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, Mobile, and New Orleans.
Longshoremen on the West Coast have a separate contract.

RACING VICTORIA chiefs say trainers who try to cheat integrity investigators will be caught, and that no counter-surveillance measures will prevent it.
Fairfax Media's revalation of sophisticated techniques that cheats use to avoid detection has shone a light on a murky side of racing.
Racing's detectives disclosed that some trainers post lookouts with mobile phones at stable gates to warn of dawn raids before investigators can get inside. Other staff delay and stall investigators. Other trainers employed less visible but more sophisticated methods - such as falsifying medical and treatment records to hide their illicit actions.
Bernard Saundry, the chief executive of Racing Victoria, made it clear last week when he took the reins that his priority was cleaning up the sport - trainers who cheat and jockeys who bet, such as now-disgraced champion Damien Oliver, ousted for eight months following his admission of a gambling offence.
When questioned on Monday about the creativity of those trying to beat the system and the lengths they would go to, Saundry said such evidence only showed the scale of the challenge faced by the team from the Integrity Services Department.
''It's not rife, to our knowledge, but it does happen. I don't think it [such concerted efforts to fool the integrity services operation] is deeply embedded in our racing culture, but it does go on.
''People use all sorts of strategies to try to manipulate the system, and we are determined to stamp it out. The stewards and the integrity department will do whatever they need to do, but you have to remember we are also battling with human nature,'' Saundry said.
''Some people go to extraordinary lengths to achieve what they want.'' ''It's not just in racing. Look at other sports, look at the business world, where people break the law; look at how individuals operate at the margins with their tax or try to avoid it completely. Nothing is surprising in human nature, but we are determined to make sure those who break the rules get caught.''
■ Melbourne Cup-winning trainers Lee Freedman and Graeme Rogerson have dissolved their Sydney partnership. Freedman will return to Melbourne and Rogerson will stay at Randwick.
■ Racing Victoria on Monday fined trainer Ricky Maund $10,000 following the late withdrawal of Timely Truce during the spring carnival. It was found that Maund had treated the horse with an unnamed medication by way of injection.

About the Author
Chris Riddell is the co-creator of the bestselling Edge Chronicles series, with Paul Stewart. He has illustrated many children's books including the award-winning Pirate Diary. He is also the political cartoonist for the Guardian and Observer newspapers.
Talking to Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell about the Edge Chronicles
Q. What was your inspiration for The Edge Chronicles?
Paul: The Edge Chronicles started off with the map. Chris drew it and gave it to me saying, 'here is the world, tell me what happens there.'
Chris: I drew a map that looked like the edge of a map because I've always been fascinated by the edges of maps – the place where the known world ends.
Paul: My main inspiration for the Deepwoods was perhaps the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, though other books–Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, Gormenghast, Gulliver's Travels– also played their part.
Q: What was your favorite character(s) to create?
Chris: My favorite character is the spindlebug. It was easy for Paul to write that it was see-through, like glass, but a challenge for an illustrator to draw. The creatures live an immense amount of time–up to four centuries –which means that they witness a lot more history of the Edge than other characters.
Paul: My favorite characters are the banderbears. Chris drew them first as fierce, pyramid-like bear creatures. Because they looked so ferocious, I made their character more timid. We have enjoyed developing the creatures as the series has progressed, learning about their natural habits and habitat and creating a language all of their own.
Q: Where did you come up with the names for your characters? The various personalities and life stories?
Paul: Both of us hate the clichéd fantasy names and tried to make the names in the Edge world a little different. Woodtrolls have woody names, like Snatchwood, Gruffbark, Snetterbark. Slaughterers have 'meaty' names like Gristle, Sinew, Tendon and Brisket. The academics have Latin/Basque names with lots of ius's and x's. Cowlquape, who goes through lots of changes, has a name taken from the German for tadpole – Kaulquappe. While Twig, of course, is just a tiny bit of the forest.
As the series has progressed, with prequels and sequels, the life histories of the various characters have become more deeply described. So Twig's mother, Maris, is only mentioned in Beyond the Deepwoods. In book 4, the Curse of the Gloamglozer, we meet her as a girl. And in the book we have just completed, Book 7 – Freeglader – we learn all about what happened to her after she abandoned her baby in the Deepwoods. The continuity revealed as the story unfolds is deeply satisfying.
Q: What was your favorite book as a child?
Chris: Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown
Paul: The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Q: Since you both work as a team from conception to finish, what is the creative process like? How exactly does the collaboration work?
Paul: The pictures and words take shape simultaneously, each affecting the development of the other. Sometimes characters and creatures start with a picture, sometimes with a textual description. In addition, the plot is worked on constantly by both of us and, when they are around, our children! Similarly, the text is passed back and forth, being rewritten continuously, until both of us are happy with it.
Q: What has been the most challenging part of writing the series?
Paul: The whole process is challenging. More importantly, though, it is also rewarding. Both of us have immense fun playing with the Edge world. Beyond the Deepwoods was the simplest book, an episodic rite of passage novel where we, as well as the main protagonist, began to explore this new world. As we have gone deeper into it, the world has become richer and richer, and the storylines similarly, more involved. We are fascinated by the way the world is still developing as we learn more and more about its history and explore all areas of the political and natural world in increasing depth.
Q: When did you first begin writing/drawing?
Chris: At five years old in the back pew of my father's church. My mother gave me paper and pens to keep me quiet during Dad's (very interesting) sermons.
Paul: From the moment I could write, I have been writing down stories. At seven, I was working on a series of stories about a snail called Oliver. At ten, I attempted to write a follow-up to The Phantom Tollbooth with ideas that took shape over the next 20 years and finally became a book entitled The Thought Domain.
Q: In Midnight Over Sanctaphrax, Twig deals with the loss of two father figures. How is this important for his development?
Paul: Twig has to grow up and assume responsibility for his father's crew and, when he learns of Tuntum's death, he realizes how he has grown and matured since he left the Woodtroll village. He hopes that Tuntum would be proud of him, and what he has achieved.
Q: What scene did you have the most fun creating?
Chris: Both of us enjoyed the wig-wig arena scene a lot. The whole Shryke slave market, with its platforms and walkways all hanging from the Deepwoods trees, was great fun to create as a home for the flightless Shrykes. The escape from it on Prowlgrinback was also great fun both to write and draw.
Paul: Midnight over Sanctaphrax was the third in the series, and the book where we were beginning to reap the rewards both of close collaboration and of getting to know the world more deeply. The Prowlgrins (which I had originally described as being like hyena/leopard-like creatures, but which Chris had drawn as a curious cross between a whale and a toad) looked to me as if they were brilliantly designed for leaping from branch to branch. Therefore the pictures in Book 1 directly influenced the plot in Book 3. Similarly, in book 1, I had wanted a pirate-like punishment similar to keelhauling, and had come up with sky-firing. In Midnight over Sanctaphrax, this throwaway idea becomes pivotal to the plot– but we won't give it away just in case you haven't read the book yet!
Q: The Edge Chronicles seems perfectly suited for film, with its fast-paced action, loveable creatures, and incredible comic-timing. Were you thinking along these lines during its inception?
Paul: We did not deliberately set out to produce fiction which could be turned into a film. That said, both of us work in a very visual way, so a lot of the plotting, characterization and scene development is quite cinematic. It would be a great thrill to see The Edge Chronicles realized on the big screen!

Hi everyone! I am new here and I have one simple question.
I have table article tags with two fiels: page_id | tagFor each tag new row is inserted. So the same pageId can be in more rows (for each tag new row) and also each tag can be in more than one row (for each pageId another row).
But how can I avoid duplicates? Let's say user inserts 10 tags in one step.
INSERT IGNORE INTO tags (page_id, tag) VALUES (1,'tagname'),(1,'anothertag'),...
won't work because page_id and tag can not be unique as the same page_id can be used for another tag.
Do I actually need to make for 10 tags 20 queries? For each one first
$rows...SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE page_id=1 AND tag='tagname'
Is this the way or how?
you're on the right track -- you have to use INSERT IGNORE
but that won't work unless there is a key that contains the columns that you want checked for duplication
ALTER TABLE tags ADD UNIQUE page_tag_ix (page_id, tag)
simple, yes?
now it is, I didn't know I can use the same unique for two fields
you can do the same with PRIMARY KEYs, too
yep, it's called a 'composite key' and ensures that where 'id' might be used several times in the table, it can still be unique because it is attached to the other column of the composite key which means
1 | this1 | that1 | the other
are each/all unique

|Spell Resistance:
Against most creatures, this spell functions just like call lightning or call lightning storm, except that you may call up to 20 bolts and each bolt does 7d6 damage (7d10 in a stormy area).
When a lightning bolt from this spell does damage to an evil or undead creature, half of the damage is divine damage and cannot be negated by any source of electricity resistance or immunity that the target possesses. In addition, the lightning itself wraps itself around the creature instantaneously if it fails its Reflex save. The creature is held in place by bonds of holy lightning for 1 round/caster level. These bonds are divinely enchanted so that the victim is completely and utterly incapable of moving under its own power, let alone escaping; it is for all intents and purposes paralyzed and helpless, even if it would normally be immune to paralysis, and is considered entangled for the purpose of taking purely mental actions (that is, it must succeed on a Concentration check, or the action fails and is wasted). The bonds last for 1 round/3 caster levels or until removed by freedom, break enchantment, remove curse, unbinding[1], or a successful dispel magic.
A creature with the Evil subtype hit by a lightning bolt from this spell suffers the above effect and has a bit of its soul obliterated by the strike. It immediately gains 1d6 negative levels, but is allowed a Fortitude save to halve the amount.

Tail Gunner
1943 — Africa
Ray was a B-25 Flight Engineer and Tail Gunner !
TailGunners in 1943...Yes the 321st BG, and 447th BS had tail gunners........in the Knapp group of Feb. '43 ...in the formation, Raymond Lankford flew with Shapiro as Eng., but soon moved to the SNAFU with the Brinkley Brothers (pilot/copilot), Wm Coursen, ..........". On April 13, 1943, Ray Lankford , tail-gunner of Waco Texas, claims ME 109. He saw two enemy aircraft...., peel off and Sgt. Lankford fired 100 rounds into it. The enemy plane began to emit smoke, and dive to the ground. This claim was verified by T. S. Stanton, of the same ship, who saw it hit the ground." ( Quote, War Diary for 321st BG) Ray Lankford... also shot down another on May 28th, '43.
Ray's (has passed) and his son Steve, said " My Dad said it pulled up and started to peel away....and he had a clear shot at the belly." In the news article, Ray quoted " The sky was full of fighters and the barrel of my gun got pretty hot that day. I got one of the fighters and saw him go down in flames !"
1943 — Africa
About Ray Lankford May 05, 2006
Subject: (Survival kit from son, Steve) Hey Barbara, I used to have the canvas bag and in it was a map that was printed on a silk panel about 3' x 3'. Unfortunately, it has been lost over the years. I talked to Luther Lalum recently. I am sending him some of the photos and hopefully they will stir his memory some. He does not go online so he is going to go to his Grandkids house and have them find the website for him. I will get back to him fairly soon. Steve Lankford (Ray's Son)
Italy — 1943
321st Bomb Group "Perserverence, Vision and Duty"
Ray's Dog "POOCHIE"
The Officers helped and Ray was able to bring Poochie back HOME with him.
Ray Lankford flew over the Atlantic in the Original Knapp Group, in the Lt. Leonard Shapiro Ship, #41-29775. . . as with many of the men, switched around until they had found their place. Ray flew almost all of his 50 Missions with the Brinkley Brothers in the SNAFU #41-12930. Hamilton (Big Brink) and Wilton (Little Brink) flew as Pilot and Co-Pilot much of the time. Being a Tail Gunner, Ray was accredited with shooting down 2 enemy ships, the first, 28 May, '43. . .Mission OUDNA. . .an ME 109 with a yellow nose. Then again on 13 April, '43. . .BoRizzo Airdrome, attacked more than 30 fighters, Ray shot down another enemy aircraft.
Ray told his son, Steve, that his guns were "hot" that day !
On 13 Sept. '43, on Ray's 50th Mission, he was wounded by flak and awarded the Purple Heart. Ray went home 25th Oct. '43. Poochie was a big part of his life, she could be seen sitting out there by his ship ready to go. Poochie flew with Ray in the Tail until one particularly "bad Mission" and then she refused to get back in.
After she had puppies, Ray said she was "busted back to Private" for that ! The Officers helped and Ray was able to bring Poochie HOME with him. They were featured in the LA Times.
The Numerical Designation of the Group, Bombs falling, three, two, one.
1943 — Africa
Ground Loop
Walter Cantrell told me that when I described that the Brinkley's came in on one wheel, and Steve Lankford's Dad, Ray (Tail-gunner) told this, That he came in so slow, and smoothly that the ship just stopped and the wing touched the ground and made a complete loop ! Walter said this was called a "Ground Loop !"

Pass The Awesome
My bloggy-buddy at Six Golden Coins, Elizabeth in St. Louis, sweetly bestowed up on me Official Seal of Awesomeness! So, major thanks to the Missouri gal who made my day! Well, actually it was her day... I'm sooo behind in my endless email, and you'll note this was a-ways-back yonder, as we say in Tay-ux-as.
Anywhooch, I now get to name five blogs that I think deserve the Official Seal of Awesomeness. Whether they like it or not.
Wired Science
An easy one, and not just because they interviewed me. I read their magazine and their blog long before that happened! Their writers are always finding fascinating things to serve as "News For Your Neurons." They are also the major way people find their way to NASA research studies!
NASA Watch
Keith Cowing's ever-popular site for all things NASA, including fresh news items, science articles, shuttle updates, commentary and a calendar of events. Constantly, tirelessly updated. Keith also works with:
NASA Edge
I wish they updated this blog more often, though the posts are worth the wait when they do. Lately they've been more active on Facebook, so check out their page there for up-to-the-minute fun with their vodcasts and mascot, "Spooner."
Astronaut For Hire
I see folks of all ages who say they want to be astronauts or are studying toward that goal, but I think Brian Shiro by far has the best shot! Check in this week, he is writing an introspective about his overall participation in FMARS 2009.
The Space Advocate
Douglas Mallette's tagline? "Space advocacy matters, especially to the success of the human species." Enough said. Plus you just have to dig anyone who has three house-pets named Vader, Leia and Padme.
Revel in thy awesomeness!

LOL on the pet names! NASA Edge is good, I also like NASA Edge. To a lesser extent I also like NASA 360.
Looking forward to the shuttle launch tonite!

Me too... bummed with all the scrubbed take-offs again!!

Thanks for the plug. I'd better get that new post online!

Okay, now the "FMARS Retrospective" post is online.

Converting PowerPoint to DPS Folios using DPS Export for PowerPoint
Many DPS Enterprise customers have asked for a way to bring PowerPoint content to DPS. While InDesign provides a robust design platform for creating interactive mobile experiences, InDesign isn't always readily accessible to a sales, marketing or business stakeholder who need to publish presentations to a tablet. In addition, there are many years of approved presentation content in PowerPoint that is readily available. In order to use that content in DPS, a design team would usually rebuild the content in InDesign or perhaps use a third party tool to export the presentation to HTML and then import it to DPS. With DPS r32.1, DPS Enterprise customers can now export their PowerPoint presentations directly to DPS apps using a new PowerPoint plug-in. In this video, you will learn how to use the DPS Export for PowerPoint.

A man who was selling thousands of pounds worth of cannabis to fund his cocaine habit has walked free from court.
Tristan Wilcox, 35, had drugs worth almost £2,500 stashed in his microwave oven when police searched his home early last summer.
But after hearing Wilcox was keen to beat his addiction a judge allowed him to keep his liberty.
Hannah Squire, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court on Friday how police went to his home on Sunday, June 2.
When they searched it they found two quantities of cannabis stored in the microwave in the kitchen.
She said he had 168 grams of herbal cannabis, which is worth up to £800 in street deals, and 168 grams of cannabis resin valued at £1,680.
After he was arrested he was questioned and told officers he would sell the drugs to friends to fund his cocaine habit.
"In cases like this one always has to wonder how many friends on has and if anyone one sells drugs to isn't a friend," she said.
Wilcox, of River Parade, Chippenham, pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing drugs with intent to supply.
The court head he had a number of previous convictions but only one for drug offences, when he was caught with cocaine and cannabis in 2006.
Alex Daymond, defending, said: "He is clearly someone who is trying to deal with his drug problem. He is suitable for a drug rehabilitation requirement."
He said he was unlikely to receive a jail term long enough for him to get any help in custody.
"He is a long term drug addict and he has built up considerable debts as a result of that habit and it is a familiar story of someone who had fallen in to supply to fund that habit," said Mr Daymond.
Recorder Richard Onslow said: "This is your first appearance in the crown court, otherwise you have more or less kept out of trouble.
"You know possessing drugs is an offence, you know you must not sell drugs to other people.
"You had 168 grams of cannabis and 141 grams of resin when your property was searched last year. You made full admissions in interview and pleaded guilty at the first appearance in the crown court.
"Having such a quantity of drugs you qualify for a custodial sentence. Because of what you have done I can suspend that custodial sentence.
"Because of that the four months I impose on you will be suspended for 18 months."
He imposed a drug rehabilitation requirement and told Wilcox he must be under the supervision of the probation service for a year.

UK house prices increased by 0.7 per cent in May and were 11.1 per cent higher than May 2013, according to the Nationwide Building Society.
First time buyers are said to be increasingly important in driving the recovery with the Government's Help to Buy playing a supporting role.
The average price of a house is now £186,512 compared to £183,577 last year.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said: "House prices recorded their 13th successive monthly increase in May, rising by 0.7 per cent.
"As a result, the annual pace of price growth edged up to 11.1 per cent up from 10.9 per cent the previous month.
"There have been tentative signs that activity in the housing market may be starting to moderate, with mortgage approvals in April around 17 per cent below January's high.
"It is too early to say whether nationally this is indicative of a cooling trend in the wider market. The slowdown may partly be the result of the introduction of Mortgage Market Review (MMR) measures, which may take a few months to bed down.
"The underlying pace of activity should become more evident as we move through the summer months and the impact of MMR becomes clearer.
"However, with mortgage rates close to all-time lows and labour market conditions continuing to improve, underlying demand for homes is likely to remain strong."

Ringelmann's business began with a problem. She was working in finance, keeping tabs on big entertainment companies like Pixar and Lionsgate, when she noticed that independent artists, filmmakers, and theater producers had a terrible time finding investors to fund their ideas. Through Indiegogo, a crowdfunding site, Ringelmann sought to "democratize access to capital," making fundraising tools available to artists and entrepreneurs of all stripes. "It's working," she says of the 200,000 campaigns that have used Indiegogo, "and ideas are getting unleashed every week." Also unleashed every week? Several million dollars, to efforts across the world. It was tough to quit her job, go back to school, and then gamble on Indiegogo in 2007, especially because her parents had owned a small moving company and often struggled to make ends meet. "I wanted to be that security blanket for my family," says Ringelmann, now 36. "But the day to day of finance wasn't feeding my soul." Now she's doing what she loves, and Indiegogo just locked down another $40 million in funding. To her, doing good and making money are not opposing goals. "Everybody wants to make the world better," she says.
Grace Woo is the rare tech entrepreneur who wants to reach people offline. As a grad student at MIT, she noticed that QR codes were "visually obtrusive" and not all that useful, because they required so many steps. So the 28-year-old engineer developed a technology called video response codes that can turn any screen into an online interactive experience. VR codes are transmitted in the light emanating from a screen, which makes it possible to embed them in any digital surface, from a TV to a smartphone, and send information even if the device is not online: Think of exchanging contact information with someone merely by pointing your phones at each other. Going from the lab to "building a company was a big decision for me," Woo says. But Pixels.IO has the attention of major media companies such as the Home Shopping Network. In the future, if you can impulse buy by simply holding your phone to your TV, you'll probably have Woo to thank. Or blame.

extide - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkIt is not very clear if you are actually making use of the 1TB revo drive thing as just simply a 1TB hdd, or if you are indeed using it with the acceleration software and the SSD caching the 1TB HD.
So, how is that bit set up?
Honestly if I were you guys, I would set up things a bit differently. Since all the VM's are almost identical you could save a lot of space and end up making much better use of that 100GB of SSD cache. Use differencing VMDK files, so instead of having 13 copies of a 64GB VMDK, you have on copy of the 64GB VM, along with 13 vmdk's that store the "differences". This way you could probably fit everything into 100GB and either just store it on the SSD natively or use the SSD as an accelerator for the 1TB hdd, but it would have pretty much everything the VM's need/use stored on the SSD. Now, exactly how you set this up varies based on what VM app you are using, but I know it is possible with ones like VMWare and Oracle Virtual Box (which is free!).
What do you think? I mean you could also apply this sort of concept to the rest of the VM's and condense the storage down significantly. Use one big ssd for the main file, and then several other ssd's for the difference files, perhaps say 4 difference files per 64GB ssd. Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkextide, Thanks for the comments.
No, we aren't using the acceleration software with the RevoDrive Hybrid, as it works only for boot disks.
I am reading up on Hyper-V differencing disks [ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/how_to_cr... ], and it definitely looks like a better way to go about the process. I will experiment with the differencing method and see whether things get simplified in terms of storage requirements while also retaining ease of use. Reply
yupsay - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkI've been using differencing disks & saving space, improving performance by a bit like that. One of the downsides to be noted is as differencing disks are dynamic under windows 2008 r2 you will be adding chunks of 2 MB at a time while Win 2008 it would be 512 kb. Problem starts when you 've multiple machines running & expanding their VHD footprint. Look out for fragmentation. Reply

eanazag - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkI'd like to know when Netgear is going to support 10 GbE over cat 6 Ethernet copper. I have some new Intel copper X-540 T-2 10 GbE NICs and the switch market is incredibly weak for these. Fiber is getting decent attention, but not Ethernet. I'd love to see even low port count switches ~8 ports. I don't care if it takes a whole 1U to pull off. I don't care about LACP today. Give me even a dumb switch. VLANs would be nice. I just need a switch though. I have them direct connected at the moment and I am really losing out on use scenarios.
All the switches (Dell and some other vendors) that support 10GbE over copper Ethernet Cat 6/a cable are $10,000+ for 24 ports.
I have the NICs setup between ESXi and Nexenta iSCSI. I am trying to push the NAS on low counts of data streams (ie. low number of VMs to take advantage of the caching and RAID capabilities of Nexenta). Reply
pablo906 - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkA few weeks ago the only 10GB over Cu switches slated for the near future were Cisco. This may have changed but I doubt it. Whenever Motorola comes up with a integrated design incorporating the feature then you'll see a ton of other vendors suddenly supporting the feature. Reply
jhh - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkOne of the problem is that no one is making 10G switch chips with only 4-8 ports. Broadcom's smallest switch has 24 10G ports. Some of their older chips had 24 1G ports and 4 10G ports, but no one has made those into switches with 10G Base T ports. Broadcom does have some 4x10G Base-T Phy chips coming in 1Q13, which should help, but I doubt the prices will be extremely low. The 24 port gigabit switches had a cost of close to $2000, so we aren't in the $100 switch range. Then, once one puts warranty expense, R&D recovery, and room for discounts for big customers, the price is quite often 2x or more of the cost, especially for these high-end items.
The other option is to use SFP+ and direct connect cables, but that doesn't help with the X-540. Reply
d3v1on - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkHi there, I have the same motherboard and was just wondering if the holes line up on the RV 03 case. As I understand it, Asus has decided to include 3 proprietary holes and despite having an EEB compatible case, those 3 holes wouldn't line up.
Was this an issue when completing this build? Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkIt was not much of an issue. I remember some holes didn't line up, but the locations were such that it didn't cause any problems related to the stability of the motherboard inside the chassis. Reply
d3v1on - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkThanks heaps Ganesh. Appreciate the quick reply. Reply
Andrew911tt - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkFrom what I understand the OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid is being used just as a PCI-e to Sata converter is that correct?
I understand the changes that you made on the external network setup, but my question is why did you make this change? Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - link1. Yes, and we also got 100 GB of NAND as a new drive for the host OS to access
2. Our previous external network setup (ZyXel switch) had only 24 ports. With 12 VMs, we had plenty of spare ports for the management port and for the NAS units. When moving to 25 VMs, we ran out of ports in the switch. The second reason is that we are planning to evaluate 10 GbE NAS units in the future and it is important to have a switch capable of 10 GbE for that purpose. Reply
Andrew911tt - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkI understand what you did, but why did you create the separate sub-nets and isolate them from the internet like in first set up. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkWe wanted to eliminate unnecessary / unintended traffic from the machines on the live network (192.168.1.x) to the NAS or even the VMs themselves. Reply
SunLord - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkWhy are you using a stupid Revo. You should of gotten an SAS HBA and used 5.25" to 4 x 2.5" bay adapters then you could of put in upto 20 2.5" ssd and an optical drive. Reply

Plifzig - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkSo, were all the SATA ports occupied? Or were they just all taken? Sounds like they were occupied.
And also taken. Reply
KranZ - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkWere you using the default 1500 byte MTU or did you bump the interfaces and VMs up to 9000 byte MTUs? Reply
kenyee - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkCould you guys please test these things for noise/heat w/ more drives when you test cases?
E.g., the Nanoxia Deep Silence review recently. Looks like it'd be perfect for something like your SOHO NAS. It was tested w/ an SSD and no hard drives :-P
The case in this review had a hard drive card.
If you have so many slots, why would you not load it up?
And if you're using a camera like the D800 w/ 50MB RAW files and trying to do video w/ terabytes of raw footage, you're going to load it up w/ hard drives... Reply
GullLars - Saturday, December 01, 2012 - linkThis was a very interresting read, but why the revodrive hybrid? With the cost of the entire system, why not just go for a Revodrive 3 X2 960GB? That massively reduce VM boot times, and eliminate or push forward any IO bottlenecks the 13 VMs sharing the drive may encounter.
This once again reminds me that the industry has been way to slow to make 10GbE avalible to the masses, or even powerusers and enthusiasts. I've been running SSD RAIDs for years now, and i'd like to move my HDD RAID to a fileserver, but the bottleneck from GbE has kept me from it. It would also be awesome for LANs, even if the switch only had 1-2 10GbE ports. Reply
batguiide - Sunday, December 09, 2012 - linkThanks for these tips! I love the tip about checking where the model is in the store. I just finished reading another article that has some more research based tips about making sure you get the best big ticket items for you, which I also found useful. website:[socanpower,ca] Reply
Hrel - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkSome reviews on those newer NAS units that are based on ARM would be GREAT! I'm extremely cautious of how good that could work. But then again my current NAS is running a Pentium 4 540 I think? 3GHZ hyperthreaded. Works, but not the fastest thing. The CPU is clearly the bottleneck. Reply

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Despite Pia Soesemann punching home the opening goal of the game, the Saint Leo women's soccer team (15-2-1) was upset by No. 4 seed University of Tampa in Sunshine State Conference semifinal action on Friday afternoon.
Tampa scored three unanswered goals to advance to Sunday's SSC Tournament Championship after Soesemann had opened the scoring in the 15th minute. Alicia Sheuring, whose earlier effort was saved brilliantly by Tampa goalkeeper Emelie Karstrom, gathered a ball on the left and her cross was flicked home by Soesemann for her 11th goal of the campaign.
The Spartans responded in the 24th minute when a free kick from just inside the Saint Leo half was floated into the area by Shannon Walisch. A glancing header by Brittan Spence was enough to carry beyond onrushing Saint Leo 'keeper Laura Carstens and level the score at 1-1.
Just 12 minutes later, Tampa took the lead through Megan Lawrence. A first effort by Lawrence was saved by Cartsens but the rebound ricocheted kindly for the Tampa forward and she was able to pass the ball into an empty net for what proved to be the game-winning goal.
After the half-time break, Saint Leo pushed for an equalizer and space was exposed in the Lions' defense. Several counter attacks for the Spartans were denied by central defenders Aija Bent-Trinder and Jasmine Johnson.
The Lions came closest to an equalizer with under 15 minutes remaining when Dari Alcantara's effort was saved by Karstrom. The rebound was then headed narrowly over the bar by Alcantara, landing on top of the net.
The fourth-seeded Spartans sealed the victory in the 84th minute when the pace of freshman striker Amber Pennybaker proved too much for Saint Leo substitute defender Tara Belvin. Pennybaker latched onto the through ball and eventually rounded Carstens before slotting home for the final score line of 3-1.
The Lions now wait official seeding in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, which will be announced on Monday. The South Region portion of the NCAA Tournament is set to begin on Friday, November 11 with game times and sites to be determined. For a list

Champion scramble rider Ronnie Fairburn has died at the age of 76.
Originally from Horsforth, Mr Fairburn died at his home in Conway, North Wales, on Saturday, after a short illness.
The former Yorkshire champion featured in many local scrambles and also the televised events by the BBC and ITV. When he retired from racing he moved to Derbyshire and then onto North Wales to race his seagoing yachts with great success.
Barry Robinson, former Telegraph & Argus motorsport columnist for 44 years, said: "Ronnie Fairburn was an extremely talented and fearless scramble rider on BSA, Aermacchi and latterly a home-built Triumph-powered machine. The Italian Aermacchi machine was actually a Grand Prix road racing machine converted by Horsforth motor cycle shop owner Bill Bancroft, who sponsored many riders in a variety of events.
"Ronnie Fairburn was a Yorkshire champion rider in cross-country speed events in the Sixties and Seventies. Not only did he win club events at Otley Chevin, Malham, Ripon, Yeadon Moor, Post Hill and Bentley Springs, but travelled to major events in other counties.
Mr Robinson, who writes for Trials and Motorcross News, added: "He also competed in BBC and ITV televised races throughout the country. In a hectic race at Great Ayton he clashed with Dickie Preston on the final corner and made history by actually passing under the television control centre vehicle. Fortunately both riders were horizontal by the time they arrived at the huge parked vehicle.
"After retiring from motor cycle racing he moved to Derbyshire with his wife Joyce and followed his religious path as a Jehovah's Witness before moving to Conway to take up seagoing yacht racing.
"He was just as successful on his yacht, winning races as he did on two wheels. He passed away on Saturday at his home, aged 76, after a short spell in Blackpool Hospital. He leaves sons Alan and Ian. It is planned to hold the funeral service in the Horsforth area."

A bristly Trowbridge man has conquered the competition to become Britain's first ever Natural Moustache Champion.
Chris Wall, 28, of Cleveland Gardens, entered the British Beard and Moustache Championships in Brighton as "a bit of a laugh", after reading about it online.
Community nurse Mr Wall said: "I've had a moustache since Glastonbury last year. I started off doing Movember (a men's cancer charity campaign), then shaving it off.
But then I decided to keep it and, ever since then, it's got bigger and bigger. I decided to enter just as I thought it would be a fun weekend.
"I was blown away. There was over 100 competitors overall and it divided into 11 categories, such as mutton shops, sideburns, partial beard; it was like the Crufts for facial hair."
Mr Wall took part in the natural moustache category, for facial hair in its natural state, without any gel or wax.
He dressed as a vintage rugby player, to stand out from the many military-costumed and tweed-suited competitors. He said: "I made the final three and then managed to come first. I was completely gobsmacked.
"The competition and standard of facial hair is extremely high and some of the guys take it quite seriously."
He plans to defend his title next year and is even looking into taking part in the 2013 World Championships in Germany.

Wesley Snipes gets 3 years in prison
Wesley Snipes pretty much decided in 1999 that he's not going to pay taxes anymore. Considering he was, at the time not so much now, a major movie star the government kind of noticed that he wasn't paying them a nice chunk of change. Eight years later, hello, welcome to your three prison sentence. Though some are actually calling the trial a victory for Wesley Snipes because he ducked five of the eight charges including felony tax fraud and conspiracy. Wesley, however, made a last minute move to appease the government by cutting them a check for $5 million. It, uh, didn't work. The AP reports:
So taken aback were prosecutors that they first declined the cash. But by the end of the day, the government took the money and more — a maximum three-year sentence for its highest-profile criminal tax target in decades.
"The sentencing court sends the right message to the American taxpayer — you've got to pay your taxes," U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill told reporters outside the usually quiet central Florida courthouse. "Rich, poor, it doesn't matter. We all pay our taxes."
Even stranger is the fact that, afterwards, Wesley Snipes was actually smiling outside the courthouse and flashing the peace sign. Somebody needs to explain to Blade that he's going to jail where his fellow inmates will pretend his ass is a vampire and you guys can do the math on what they'll use for a wooden stake. Answer key at the bottom. Please show your work.
Answer Key: X = The square root of a whole lotta butt sex.
