This has to be the lightest traffic I've ever witnessed here. I'm not complaining. I understand it was Mother's Day. I understand it's now been a month since your boys went home. I also understand there hasn't been much news whatsoever from the Rangers.
So I should have expected this summer's slowdown to come earlier than last summer's.
And it isn't as if I'm bringing much to the table lately. I've been very busy, and I apologize. Hope to pick it up a bit soon.
I like to watch hockey, and I like the other sports, too. So I admit I've been flipping the channels during these playoffs, which continue to be mostly fabulous.
I don't think I've ever intentionally turned off a game just because Cliche-machine Beninati is doing it, but I have put on the radio when it's involved the Rangers. However, a 3-0 game with Beninati made my switch to the Yankees-Red Sox (which was also a blowout) a no-brainer. Goodbye Versus.
I have to admit, though, that through all the other series, I have had no problem whatsoever with the various play-by-play guys, and I have even taken a new shining to some of the color analysts like Darryl Reaugh (sp?) and especially Billy Jaffe. I still love Eddie "tremendously tremendous" Olczyk when he's without his between-the-benches "Edzo" guy.
One more question for Versus: Is the Stanley Cup playoffs really a good time to have tryouts for a studio job?

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- The ex-husband of a Toledo woman killed on Christmas Eve has turned himself in to police.
Forty-three-year-old Robert Carter was charged with aggravated murder in his ex-wife's death after surrendering at police headquarters on Tuesday.
It's unclear whether he has an attorney.
His ex-wife, 41-year-old Wendabi Triplett, was shot at about 11 p.m. Monday and was pronounced dead at a local hospital a couple hours later.
The Toledo Blade reports (http://bit.ly/ZyGopb) that the killing brings the number of homicides in the metro area to 50 this year.

Lena Dunham has a quirky style that we know and usually love, but what we didn't love was the color of the dress the Girls star wore to the Time 100 gala this week. The dress washed her out and was dull.. nice try on the sexy neckline though! What is going on with Mischa Barton- her pilgrim trend is not cute but at least she knows how to work the camera?! Then there's Vanessa Hudgens, and while her hair looks amazing her casual meets business look doesn't work at all. We wish she didn't pair her adorable romper with a tuxedo blazer and pointy heels!

Thank you all for for helping me so far mom had bile duct resection and liver was excellant. Took doc 6 hrs and she is recovering great thanks a bunch.
Wonderful news! I'm so happy for you and your family!!! Best wishes for continued good results!!
OH GOSH!! Just asked in your last post if there was any news............GREAT!
That is great news. Plaese keep as updated when you have time!
I hope she continues to recover well!
finally getting a chance to update like I said in first post she had surgery friday she went around 6pm to surgical icu. This morning she was told she would be going to reg room on the transplant ward around noon. Had a slight delay because bloodpressure went up to 208/75 don't know if it was because they had her sitting in a reclining chair all day. After she laid back in bed it came down and around 6 oclock she got to go into reg room. next step is to have the tube in her nose suctioning her stomach out removed so she can start eating. She is a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and they have her back on that already to. I'm hoping she keeps up this well. She's on morphine She seems paraniod she was very short with me so I left for a while she called tonight and was much better. I'll try to update tomorrow night. Good night
You are bringing back so many memories
Hear hear!!
another great day so far 3 days post op she is in a reg room had the tube removed this morning and all iv's only thing left is the nution iv that is her neck and her cathider. She has her appitite back. wanted to eat today, one nurse told her she could eat when they heard her digestive track working (gurgling sounds) and that walking would help alot. So up and walking we did my husband had to laugh because my mom and I were just about out the door when he got a phone call, we were already around the corner out of sight when he got off he was shocked how close to her regular pace she was. We'll this must have worked she got to have liquids for dinner. She says thanks to everyone here and for the idea of the pillow usage and the troat spray. She is also taking care of her own isulin too. home soon. Again thank you all!!!!!!!!!!
I have one question though did anybody have trouble with their blood pressure ? It is still high.
Great news, so glad for you!!! As for the pillow, try to get one of those body pillows that are really long - I had one when I was pregnant and named it "Pierce" for Pierce Brosnan, because I loved to sleep with it! Then I got one for my mother when she started having abdominal pain and she named it "Henry" and she could finally sleep comfortably once she had that pillow.
I don't know about the blood pressure but I'm sure someone else here will know. Best of luck and congratulations!!
I laughed to read of the wait for gurgling sounds!! Remember I was saying that the Docs in Greece were keen that my Mother should, as they put it "Make air", before she could have food!!
Glad to hear all is moving along. Gosh, so reminds me of my time post op with Mum! Such a difficult time, but also it was just such a relief too, that something had been "done"!
As for the blood pressure, your only real question, I can't help, sorry! I would THINK that it must be fairly normal to be high so soon after such major surgery, but then, I'm not a medical person. I'm sure the Docs will help you if you ask.
Keep us posted, it's good to know what's going on, and will also help others who have surgery in future.
Much love to you all!
I have to say, in the midst of all that you are going thru, you managed to bring back something that made me chuckle..."making air" was what my days in the hospital were all about after surgery. EVERY person who walked in to see me, medical or not, always asked if I had passed gas yet. Some called it "passing gas", but some just put it out there..."have you farted yet?" Oh the times I had to roll my eyes at them.
I hope your Mom continues to heal and gets home before too long. She is in all of our thoughts and prayers.
Find the humor where you can!!! (I think that may be my new byline...)

[VS] Giraffes - Our allies
As you might have seen lately we have been working with a few other outfits and successfully coordinating. Which is very good! The problem is that I haven't shared this information with you guys. I have been talking quite a few platoon/outfit leaders now for a week or so and have been getting friendly. These guys are our allies:
Contact person: Justicia, UndercoverDolphin
Information: Largest outfit on Miller. Not very organized. The two contact persons should be responsive and lead platoons.
Contact person: VanuMason
Information: SecretPrototypes new outfit. I asked them to tell him to stop TKing and the dude was so friendly about it we had a new ally.
PVL/PV - Purple Valour
Contact person: IrateRedKite
Information: Rather small, less then 12. Have joined us numerous times in the platoon, and that worked very well. Very skilled and organized. Perfect spec-ops team.
Contact person: EuroBob
Inforamtion: Very small. Likes to do daring moves and cut off the enemy and will almost always do that in a larger fight (or act as recon).
ISK - Immortal Serial Killers
Contact person: ISKNemesis, Thunderhawk
Information: Seem fairly large but very inactive in leaderchat. Have never worked with them.
DWG - DeathWatch Gaming
Contact person: rompafrolic (or something), Davelantor, Archangel
Information: Largely air focused outfit. Highly organized and skilled, quite a few of them. Can be a bit hard to get a hold of.
Contact person: Starkey, Fishstick
Information: Not that active nor large, but they're good and like to work with us.
MDK - Mandrake
Contact person: Kretaro, Fittipaldi, Pirutoko
Information: Quite big, quite spanish. Their organization is similar to ours but more casual - if they're training or just playing the PL can't move the platoon "forcefully". That seems to mean that they might be stuck on Indar or other cert heavy places if they aren't in tactical mandrake as Fittipaldi calls it. When they are though (and ask for that), oh boy are they good! Quite often at least a platoon when they are tactical, and they can take and hold anything.
VC - Vanu Corporation
Contact person: Stanis, Basti
Information: I don't know much about these guys. Maybe Cooper does?
Contact person: Igster
Information: Never worked with these guys.

Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. He captures everything great about the Parisian woman – glamour, power, and playfulness. And, the bags? Don't even get me started on the bags.
My LV handbags are a must-have. Please don't make me choose just one of them.
"Fully Functioning Concealer" would be the best concealer known to woman, perfect for camouflaging dark undereye circles and treating acne and blemishes.
Paris is my favorite city so packing all the right pieces in such little time would be crucial. I would pack v-neck tees in a rainbow of colors, two cardigans, dark wash jeggings, dark grey trousers, opaque black leggings, a high-waisted white and black dress, a few statement necklaces and bracelets, pale pink nail polish, flats, pumps,my makeup kit, and a few of my favorite headbands!

When you start running ADF applications under JDev 11g you'll become familiar with seeing URLs like the following in your browser:
Each part of the URL is significant, though the one that stands out as being odd is the rather cumbersome "Sage-ViewController-context-root". This part of the URL in Java EE parlance is called the context-root, and not just because our example literally has context-root written into it.
The context-root at its most basic form is the unique part of the URL on the application server to clearly distinguish your application from another on the server. However as you can see in this example the "Sage-ViewController-context-root" is hardly something you'd want to present to users. Something more palatable like "Sage" or "HR" would be useful, delivering an end URL like:
So how do we go about making a friendly context-root for our applications? Essentially there's 2 locations.
Design time
If you're running your application from JDeveloper by opening & running a jspx page via the right mouse menu or similar, when the application is deployed to the integrated WLS server, it will use Java EE Application options under the ViewController's Project Properties, accessible by right clicking the same name option of the ViewController project:
As you can see in the above picture, the Java EE Web Context Root is set to "Sage-ViewController-context-root". Simply change this to something desired.
Deploy time
Once you've finished testing and running your application in your local integrated WLS instance, you're likely to generate an EAR or WAR file to deploy to an external WLS server. In this case the context-root is influenced by settings in the WAR file for the ViewController project. Simply right click the ViewController project -> select Project Properties -> Deployment and locate the associated WAR file deployment profile. In the following picture you can see it's called "Sage_ViewController_webapp1":
If you then select the edit button for the WAR deployment profile, the first node General includes 2 options, namely Use Project's Java EE Web Context Root and Specify Java EE Web Context Root. If you select the 2nd option and enter your own option, this will override the context-root once the application is deployed to an external WLS server:

Hawthorn has strongly denied it will be without skipper Luke Hodge for the first five rounds of the AFL season.
However, Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson admits Hodge, who has sat out early pre-season games with a knee problem, might not line up in the season-opener.
"We're anticipating Hodgey's going to be playing footy at round one – but just what footy that is, we've got to make a judgment at that point in time," Clarkson said on Thursday.
He said Hodge was on track to resume soon at some level if he has no further complications.
"But he's training today and we've still got four weeks until we play. My experience with footy is that four weeks is a good time, once you start full training, to get yourself ready to play.
"We've just got to make a judgment on when he starts to play matches and whether he's conditioned well enough to play round one," Clarkson said.
"But he's the captain of our club – it's going to be pretty tempting to select him, I'd imagine, but we'll make that call at the time.
"We're happy with his progress."
Clarkson said Hawthorn, which will play the Western Bulldogs in the NAB Cup clash at Etihad Stadium on Friday night, would probably follow a number of clubs which have forecast they will give players more time out this season.
"I was interested in reading an article that came out of Collingwood that they would consider resting some players more this year.
"I think that's been happening across the whole competition the last two or three years – even the newer clubs have been doing that with some of their younger players."
Clarkson said there were several Hawthorn players available for the pre-season cup clash who will sit out the game because the clubs' priorities are with others who need the game time.
"I think in the home and away, there will be a lot of players who will be rested just to allow them to go the distance."
Hawthorn will face the Bulldogs with star midfielders Sam Mitchell, Brad Sewell and Jordan Lewis all playing for the first time this year.
The Hawks lost to Gold Coast and the Brisbane Lions in round one but Clarkson is unconcerned.
"Our focus even last week, when we were zip-zip, is all about game time with our players," he said.

38. Jazz it up
Sometimes all that sunshine just makes you want to hole up somewhere cool and dark, right? Especially at the end of the weekend, when you're all sunburned and exhausted from all that summer fun? Fortunately for you, The Den (downstairs at 132 W Water St., 983-1615, thedensantafe.com) hosts Speakeasy Sundays, a weekly jazz-and-cocktails night, 5:30-8 pm Sundays all summer long. Nestle into one of the lounge's luxe sofas, order one of Coyote Café mixologist Quinn Stephenson's inimitable cocktails, and relax to the jazzy crooning of local chanteuse Faith Amour. You'll forget that Monday's even coming. (AS)
39. Be proud
After the recent election of Ms. and Mr. Santa Fe Pride (love you, Bella Gigante!), the city is primed and ready for its annual Pride Parade & Festival, scheduled for June 22 and sponsored, as usual, by the local chapter of the Human Rights Alliance (santafehra.org). You don't have to be LGBTQ (or anything else, for that matter) to have a blast dressing to the nines and coming out to celebrate equality, and the vibrant parade and ensuing festivities (Rocky Horror Picture Show, anyone?) are always fun.

40. Take a pedicab ride
Although few downtown destinations are beyond walking range, opting for a bike-powered buggy can be both fun and edifying, as most Santa Fe Pedicabs (santafepedicabs.com) drivers know a lot about the City Different—and, if you're polite (and don't forget to tip!), they're usually willing to enlighten you. Rides cost $1 a minute, which means getting from the Plaza to Canyon Road shouldn't cost you more than $10. (AS)
41. Belay on
Fear of heights? No better way to conquer it than meeting the rocks head-on! The Santa Fe Climbing Center (825 Early St., 986-8944) offers youth and adult classes in its indoor climbing gym, as well as guided trips to outdoor rock-climbing destinations around New Mexico. Visit climbsantafe.com for more information. (AS)
42. Dance the night away
Santa Fe should thank its lucky stars for Rouge Cat (101 W Marcy St., 983-6603), whose frequent DJ spots and dance-all-night craziness do the heavy lifting when it comes to the city's late-night scene. Check SFR's calendar listings for weekly events. (AS)
43. They call me Mellow Velo…
Full disclosure: We're a bit partial to the friendly cycling enthusiasts who share our building (and their beer), but that doesn't cloud our judgment (much). While many other bike shops around town offer affordable rentals, service, maps and the rest, Mellow Velo (132 E Marcy St., 995-8356) will go the extra mile (heh) to send you on an adventure suited to your interests and abilities. City cruiser rentals cost $20; the Queen song stuck in your head for the rest of the day is just an added bonus. (AS)
44. Expand your taste buds
Too many locals drive down Airport Road without stopping—specifically, stopping for tacos made from weird parts of various animals (intestine, tongue, etc.). Don't do that! Allot an afternoon to tasting the wares at Airport Road's many taco trucks—each one has its own specialty, everything's cheap, and they're almost all delicious. (AS)
45. Visit Nambé Falls
Drive 16 miles north of Santa Fe to Nambé Pueblo ($10 per vehicle) and splash in the water at the gorgeously refreshing Nambé Falls (nambefalls.com). (MRC)
46. Grab some holy dirt
The Santuario de Chimayó is a historical temple and pilgrimage destination. Every year during Holy Week, pilgrims from near and far walk to the church in fulfillment of a vow or in search of healing—the church's holy dirt is thought to have healing powers. Whether or not you make the trek on foot, the Santuario is a beautiful and sacred destination for a summertime escape. (MRC)
47. Hole up at the Humidor
The dark, cool space attached to Rio Chama Steakhouse (414 Old Santa Fe Trail, 955-0765) is a great way to while away the hot, sunny hours with a cocktail—and you can smoke inside, to boot. (MRC)
48. Take the high road…
…to Taos. The drive snakes through the Carson National Forest and through little high-desert towns. Final destination: Taos, the historic home of the Taos Pueblo and a prolific art community. For directions and more information, visit newmexico.org/high-road-to-taos-trail. (MRC)
49. Take a mini-trip to Madrid
If you're pining after an escape from town without spending a fortune on gas, take a trip to Madrid (pronounced MAD-rid). En route to Albuquerque on the historic Turquoise Trail, Madrid is a little artist colony, home to quaint cafés, restaurants and galleries. On the way, pit stop in the dusty but scenic little desert towns of Galisteo and Cerrillos. (MRC)
50. Wander the Allan Houser Sculpture Garden
Twenty-five miles south of Santa Fe, with 10 miles of trail and 85 original works of art, the Allan Houser Sculpture Garden is a treat for the senses. The garden holds the Houser family collection of Allan Houser's last 25 years of works. Tours of the private gardens must be scheduled (471-1528), but the short venture to the piñon- and juniper-covered hills between Cerrillos and Galisteo is worth the escape. (MRC)
51. Brunch like a champion
While it seems Santa Fe just recently caught on to the weekend brunch fad, we learned fast. Four favorite spots for a long, leisurely, delicious start to your Saturday or Sunday (and, given that it's summer, we're favoring patio spots): Tune-Up Café (1115 Hickox St., 983-7060) melds Salvadoran fare with American favorites for a unique and delicious brunch menu; Counter Culture Café (930 Baca St., 995-1105) serves up freshly baked cinnamon rolls the size of your head; Rio Chama Steakhouse (414 Old Santa Fe Trail, 955-0765) makes amazing Bloody Marys; and the Swiss Bakery Pastries & Bistro (401 S Guadalupe St., 988-1111) concocts a killer croque madame. (AS)
52. Take a little trip…
…in a lowrider. That's the New Mexico dream, right? But if you don't have access to a real, souped-up deal, you can pay a visit to the Low 'n Slow Lowrider Bar (125 Washington Ave., 998-4900), where you can check out the hanging gallery of low-rider photos while comfortably sipping a margarita (which you should not do in an actual lowrider). And since it's bad form to yell catcalls in a bar, you can at least belt it out, karaoke-style. (MRC)
53. Join a CSA
If you don't live on a farm, the next best thing to farm-fresh food straight out of the earth, is farm-fresh food straight out of the earth from a local Community Supported Agriculture. Visit beneficialfarm.com to find out how. (MRC)
54. Go hiking
It's possible to walk from the heart of Santa Fe into the foothills and beyond to the Santa Fe National Forest. From there, the Pecos Wilderness extends into a seemingly endless expanse of pine. We've got the Jemez, the Sangre de Cristos and the Sandias, and awesome expanses of desert to explore in between. You could, if you wanted, spend all 93 days of summer hiking and never even come close to exhausting the possible routes—but watch out for the fires. (MRC)
55. Get wet
You'll probably want to spend more than just one day of the hot, dry Santa Fe summer season cooling off in the water. About an hour and half north of town, Abiquiu Lake shimmers like a mirage in the red-clay desert. The lake is the perfect place to take a long dip and sunbathe on huge, warm stones. (MRC)
56. Take to the stage
Just across the parking lot from the Santa Fe Brewing Co. tap room, Sol Santa Fe Stage & Grill (37 Fire Place, 424-9637) hosts some of the most popular traveling and local music acts. Some of the upcoming performances this summer include The Grippin and Rippin Tour 2013; Portugal The Man and Guard; and Sara Beth & Jessica. Never heard of them? Just be grateful someone's willing to stop in Santa Fe. (MRC)

CITY moved a point closer to League One safety after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with fifth placed Preston North End at Ashton Gate last Saturday.
In a tense encounter both sides missed good chances and scored from deflected goals.
City started the slower of the two teams and manager Steve Cotterill accepted that the away side had the better of the first period. Twice, City keeper Fielding was called upon to make smart saves from Joe Garner for the visitors. But following the break City grew into the game after the substitution of the yellow carded El-Abd and introduction of Cunningham.
Emmanuel-Thomas began to come into the game and when he's on song he can dictate games. Osborne went very close for City from a corner with Preston's keeper Rudd making a flying save.
But against the run of play Preston took the lead when City failed to clear a cross and Jack King fired in a powerful shot that deflected off the unlucky Nosworthy.
Under Cotterill, City are made of strong stuff however, and six minutes later we were back on level terms when impressive loanee Wade Elliott drove another deflected strike past Rudd.
Other results didn't go our way on Saturday and City are now just four points above the drop zone. I remain very confident of survival though and probably just one more win from our final five games will be enough, especially given our goal difference, which is superior to our nearest rivals.
City travel to the West Midlands on Saturday to face Walsall (3pm). The Saddlers lie in tenth position and have had a good season. They have also won two of their last three games. However, City beat Walsall 1-0 at Ashton Gate back on Boxing Day and Walsall don't have the best of home records.
Both teams do however draw a lot and therefore the most likely result is another score draw. A draw would be fine but the incentive is there for City – win, and we've as good as secured another season in League One.

Spikey watering system described in About the Garden, Australia, Spring 2005. An article on the spines on cacti and succulent plants reminded us that they are generally claimed to have evolved to protect plants from being eaten. However the author brought out a positive side to the spines existence in that "their main function is to collect condensation so that it drips onto the ground above the plant roots". Furthermore cacti and succulents don't only inhabit deserts - they also live in wetter environments, including humid jungles. They can survive in harsh arid climates because they can cope with the large temperature changes in such environments, since their many spines can provide an insulating barrier against the environment.
Editorial Comment: Cacti and succulent plants are often believed to have evolved in harsh dry climates but as we are reminded here they can and do live in wetter, less harsher climates. They have become synonymous with arid climates because most other plants don't survive well in such conditions so the cacti and succulents have it to themselves.
This is natural selection at work, eliminating all other unsuitable plants, but it is not evolution. Natural selection does explain why a living organism can survive where it lives, but it does not explain how the organism came into existence.
The water collecting function reminds us that in the beginning the world was watered by a mist so any method for condensing moisture and dripping it onto the plant roots would be useful. However, the spines were probably not as sharp in the original good world that God made. "Thorns and thistles" are definitely listed as part of the curse that God put on the ground when He judged Adam and Eve for their sin (Genesis 3:17-18). This could have involved altering the hardness of some plant structures so that they became both a painful reminder to human beings that we live in a cursed world, and they still remained useful to the plant. Later after Noah's flood when deserts first began to appear, they were naturals to survive the increasingly dry conditions. (Ref. Fall, degeneration, prickles)

Here's the 8 point that I got a couple weeks ago...
I got my meat back from the Processor yesterday. I took a few things out to try within the next few days.
I ended up getting 25 packs of hamburger, 12 packs of cube steak, 4 packs of bratwursts, 3 packs of hot dogs, and 1 big boneless ham that I'm going to use to make jerky.
This morning, I decided to use 1 lb of the meat and experiment with a venison fatty.
I seasoned the meat itself with a BBQ rub, some Sage and some Dale's Seasoning. Flattened that out and topped with some grated Cheddar. Then rolled it up and wrapped in bacon. The Dale's Seasoning is really popular around these parts, especially among the country folk such as myself ,and it tastes great in venison and beef burgers...You just use it kinda like you do Worcestershire Sauce.
Took the fatty to an internal temp of 160 deg f and gave it a 10 minute rest.
I think I'll be making up 2 fatties double this size for the Eggtoberfest next weekend. Instead of using Cheddar though, I'm going to use the Cheese mixture from Griffin's Turtle Eggs. That mixture should hold up much better when slicing into it. As far as the venison itself goes, it tastes awesome! No gamey taste at all. I had the Processor mix in some beef trimmings to add some fat. It's around 85/15 meat to fat, which worked out well because the fatty was still plenty juicy.

Sadness After Dental Anesthetic
Several times after having dental work done, such as the preparation necessary for a dental crown, I have experienced feelings of sadness, crying, or a feeling of depression. It happened two days ago, and today, I still feel this way. It is intermittent, comes and goes during the day. I am in very good health, and have never had any type of depression, and take no medication for anything. I only get these sad mood feelings after being numbed for dental work. However, the sadness is so pronounced, it causes me to write this question. This time, I also had considerable swelling of the roof of my mouth on the side of the injection site.
Thank you for your question. I have had a similar question in the past regarding depression following dental work. What I can say, is that I do not think this is a reaction to the local anesthetic. The typical doses are so small as to have little, or really any, central nervous system effect (brain). It may be more appropriate to ask this question of a Netwellness psychology expert.
I do wonder, however, if perhaps you are getting anxious, and understandably so, about dental work. Anxiety is an arousal state and maybe the relief from anxiety when the dentistry is done has some exaggerated response in your case.
In trying to think of other rare causes, perhaps this is an early manifestation of hypothyroidism? Other associated symptoms are fatigue, cold intolerance, poor muscle tone and coarse hair. This is really a stretch but this is the second time I have been questioned about these symptoms and I am sure they are real. Good luck and please let me know if you find an answer that makes sense to you. I am sorry could not be of more help.

Rick83 - Friday, September 07, 2012 - linkThat's a bit cheap.
Probably no support for AMT either (but then few 2011 Xeons are vPro enabled, so it's not that bad)
A note to the editor: Please add the exact NIC name/number. There are so many different Intel NICs, and also a number of different Realtek NICs, that it's convenient to know which are used without having to crawl the web for the info, especially if the manufacturer's site conveniently omits that info.
You've got the board on hand, with all the device IDs, so go ahead and put that info on the spec-page.
Thanks. Reply

James5mith - Friday, September 07, 2012 - linkFor what it's worth, I would personally be interested to see what 8x SAS SSD's would do vs. the 8x SATA SSD's.
SAS is full duplex vs. SATA's half-duplex. As well, native SAS doesn't suffer the overhead of the tunneling protocol that allows SATA drives to run under a SAS controller. Reply

loimlo - Sunday, September 09, 2012 - linkHi Ian
At first, thanks for your hard work. It's a pleasure to read your article.
Given the popularity of samrtphones/tablets, I think it is the right time to add USB charging into MB review. As almost every MB vendors have one or two USB Charging functions like USB charging during computer S5 sleep, over-current USB Charging for iPAD, it does make sense to test and include this function review.
My suggestions are as follow:
1. Normal USB Charging: 500mA for every samrtphones/tablets like iPhone, iPAD, Android devices. Very long charging time usually.
2. USB charging during S5 for iPhone, iPAD, Android devices
3. Vendor proprietary software to control over-current USB charging like 1.5A/2A for iPhone, iPAD, Android devices to shorten charging time.
Given the 2012 Amazon Kindle tables ship without a charger, USB charging will be getting more and more popular among enthusiasts Reply
drmrking - Monday, September 10, 2012 - link>>As stated with the ASRock X79 Extreme11 though, eight-way RAID-0 is an obscure usage scenario.
No I totally disagree - 8 x 500gb SSD is going to be a pretty common usage for photographers - we need storage volume and speed. SSDs are very reliable (no moving parts) so its pretty productive to use Raid 0 as long as you back up changes regularly.
Of course I can't get the full read potential (4gb/sec) out of that setup but the write performance is pretty well matched.
Mike Reply
IanCutress - Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - linkHi Mike,
Thanks for letting us know that at least someone considers 8-way RAID-0. We all have our own narrow view of what constitutes normal usage, and it's always good to hear that one segment uses a particular feature to the maximum.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. But what is a square, a cube, and a 1/2 cube of butter? In the US a stick is 1/4 lbs, 4 oz, or 1/2 cup. I tried to determine the amounts from the pictures and descriptions, but these are also inconsistent.
Aw shucks, Marilyn. You are so great.ReplyDelete

Phillip is going to get fat!ReplyDelete
Wonder if these would work with an orange layer for Halloween? Is there an orange flavoring?ReplyDelete
Sure! Why not? I would put in orange food coloring and then the zest and juice of an orange...maybe 2 oranges. That would be so cute!ReplyDelete
Can anyone tell me what size pan is used for these?ReplyDelete
I used a 12 x 17-inch baking sheet pan that is 1-inch deep.ReplyDelete
I am somewhat terrified of these brownies (so much butter), but I plan to take them to several holiday parties this year. I left the mint frosting white and crushed up some candy canes on top! I'm sure they'll be a hit! Thanks.ReplyDelete
Wow! That sounds so amazing. I'm going to try that. Great idea. I know the about of butter is truly sick. Just share and spread the fat with friends and family. thank you for your idea.ReplyDelete

Steelers fumble away important game in road loss against Browns
CLEVELAND — Three Steelers interceptions, four fast-shuffling running backs and five fumbles added up to eight turnovers in a dismally played, stupefying game that probably had the NFL wondering by halftime if it could disown all rights to it.
The Steelers have seen it all against the woebegone Browns, all levels of incompetence, ineptitude and inadequacy that explain why Cleveland hasn't raised a championship flag since the first full year of the Lyndon Johnson administration. And why the Steelers had won 16 of 17 in a rivalry that really isn't one.
But for one role-reversal afternoon, the Steelers transformed themselves into the bad-news Browns — fumbling, bumbling and stumbling their way from one misadventure to another, a full 60 minutes of football follies. All that was missing was a laugh track.
But there was no it-was-just-a-joke punch line at the end, only a 20-14 loss Sunday to the Browns — the Browns! — at Cleveland Browns Stadium that left the Steelers (6-5) in a precarious position playoff-wise.
"I don't think they were ready to play," Browns defensive lineman Phil Taylor said. "Baltimore kind of beat them last week, and they were down to their third-string quarterback, and we just (had) to take advantage of what they (gave) us. And we went out there and did it."
Now the Ravens (9-2) can effectively eliminate them from the AFC North race by winning next week in Baltimore, and the Steelers' two-game cushion in the AFC wild-card race is long gone now that the Bengals (6-5) have tied them.
The playoffs probably seem as far away to the Steelers as the end zone did to the Charlie Batch-led offense during a scoreless and, it almost seemed, clueless second half.
"You know that was an ugly performance," said coach Mike Tomlin, who was in high school the last time the Steelers played a comparably dreadful game against Cleveland.
That was in 1989, when the Steelers last had eight turnovers in a season-opening 51-0 loss to Cleveland. The most the Steelers have had in any game since the 1970 NFL merger was nine.
The Browns' four scoring drives began at the Steelers' 10-, 31- and 44- yard lines and the Cleveland 42. All those short fields made for a long day for the Steelers, who might be ready to ask Ben Roethlisberger if he can play left-handed.
"Things like that happen," the newly returned Plaxico Burress said. "They just don't happen very often."
Especially to the Steelers against the Browns, who had lost 10 of their last 11 to Pittsburgh on their home field.
"You can't turn the ball over eight times and expect to beat anybody, I don't care if it's Pop Warner or high school," said Burress, who was targeted twice and drew a pass interference call but didn't make any catches in his first Steelers game in eight seasons. "You don't give yourself a chance to win the game.
With Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich injured and out, Batch (20 of 34, 199 yards) made only his second start in 2½ seasons and, at times, was as rusty as an abandoned Cleveland steel mill.
Batch, who turns 38 in less than two weeks, became the oldest quarterback to start a Steelers game. This didn't make him feel any younger, as the offense struggled for a third consecutive week without wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) and with a different starting quarterback.
"Coach (Tomlin) kept saying all week, 'We need to be quarterback friendly. We need to find ways to help him,' " safety Ryan Clark said. "Turning the ball over at the running back position doesn't help him, and not getting turnovers (on defense) also doesn't help him."
Tomlin, desperate to find a running back who wouldn't fumble, tried Rashard Mendenhall, Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman and Chris Rainey, but they averaged a fumble and about 10 yards apiece, as the Steelers ran for only 49 yards.
"It was crazy," Chris Rainey said. "I wasn't even planning on playing running back, but my name was called so I was ready."
The Steelers, who have managed a single touchdown offensively in each of their past three games, put together only one drive. They drove 84 yards in the final 1:51 of the first half for Rainey's 1-yard TD run in which he bounced off three defenders up the middle and into the end zone.
But their eight second-half drives ended with three interceptions, three punts and two fumbles as they never crossed the Browns' 44-yard line. As a result, the Steelers have lost consecutive games in the same season for the first time in nearly three years.
"I don't know if I'd use word disorganized, but we didn't play up to the line we needed to play at," Mendenhall said.
The Browns' only second-half score came after, of course, a turnover.
Batch tried to force a pass to Burress that Sheldon Brown intercepted. Starting at the Steelers' 31, the Browns (3-8) needed only three plays and a penalty to score as rookie Trent Richardson powered in from the 15.
"We know Ben's not out there and we know it's going to be a struggle, but obviously it's tough to overcome that many turnovers," Clark said.
He added, "We don't know when Ben's coming back, until then we have to do more, help the offense out a lot more than we did today."
The defense forced only one turnover, a Brandon Weeden interception, as the Steelers' takeaway margin for the season dipped to minus-10. Weeden was 17 of 26 for only 158 yards but became just the second rookie quarterback to beat Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau in the 16 times his defenses have opposed one.
Roethlisberger, recovering from his dislocated rib and upper chest/shoulder injury, is expected to do some light throwing early this week to see where is physically. He still hasn't been ruled out of the Ravens' game.
"We don't him to rush back because of this situation. We want him to rush back because he's healthy," lineman Max Starks said.
On this day, the Steelers weren't rushing. Or passing. Or winning. On this day, the Steelers became the Browns, and it couldn't have felt more out of character. Or much worse.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Most sales managers feel some resentment toward their teams at some point in their careers. It's unfortunate, but understandable – particularly when the team isn't meeting sales targets. And to make matters worse, most sales managers feel they can sell better than many of their team members.
You may be asking yourself: Why can't my team sell more? Why are some team members taking up so much of my time? And why won't they just do what I tell them?
You may feel like a babysitter sometimes. If you do, it's a sign that you're doing something wrong. Consider shifting your role from babysitter to coach.
Effective Coaching Can Shift your Team's Thinking
What determines your team members' results? As you know, it starts not with their actions, but with their thinking. Until you know what they have done and the thinking behind what they did, you are less likely to improve what they are doing.
When frustrated, sales managers tend to tell their team members what to do. Given the nature of most salespeople, that doesn't work.
But sales coaching – effective sales coaching – can help your team members think better, and therefore sell more.
In your coaching sessions, ask your team members to explain to you what they did in a specific sales conversation. Explore with them what worked, what didn't work and what they plan to do differently next time.
As your team members explain, neuroscience indicates that they'll activate more neurons to make new connections. The more connections they make, the more their thinking will improve.
Your questions will help your team members make more links, and as a result they will do some deeper thinking. Some effective questions you could use are:
Keep these questions handy, to help your team members sell better.
By focusing on improving your team members' thinking, you'll move from babysitter to coach in no time. You'll be able to say goodbye to sales team frustration. And your team members will think better, perform better and sell more.

The coming of July 1st signifies the height of the summer; beaches, barbeques, and relaxation, but during the last decade, the Glen Sather era has been an anxious day when Rangers fans hold their breath as they've become accustomed to the GM-For-Life overpaying mediocre unrestricted free agents with sometimes outrageous contract lengths and stipulations such as no movement clauses.
This summer seemed to be a change of pace as the Rangers made modest acquisitions by signing their in- house free agents and an affordable backup goalie in Martin Biron, but the 4 year deal at $1.625 million per for enforcer Derek Boogaard had professional publications like Sports Illustrated and ESPN.com laughing at Sather while fan forums including HFBoards.com and even here at Rangers Report are up in arms. The deal may be hefty, but having an enforcer with Boogaard's resume will benefit the Rangers tremendously if he is used correctly.
Whether the Rangers have been in the Atlantic Division, Patrick Division, or as far back as simply the East and West, teams in the Northeast have always employed toughness and more often than not, it was at the Rangers expense when an enforcer was absent. The '70s saw the Rangers dealing with the likes of the Big Bad Bruins and Broad Street Bullies, in the '80s it was an Islanders team with Clark Gillies, Denis Potvin, and Dave Langevin as well as a very tough Capitals defense anchored by Scott Stevens, Rod Langway, and later Kevin Hatcher and Al Iafrate by the early 90s. Having to presently deal with names like Clarkson, Konopka, Carcillo, and even cheap shot artists like Cooke (not to mention Chara and Lucic four times a year), having an enforcer isn't as much an option as it is a necessity. Even if he only sees 4-6 shifts a game, teams will think twice about taking liberties with Gaborik or running Lundqvist (that means you Jason Blake) if the 6'8'' "Boogey Man" is creeping around.
Boogaard can be an invaluable momentum changer for both the regular season and especially playoffs. How many times during mid-December to late February have the Rangers sleepwalked through the first forty minutes of a game? A Boogaard hit or fight can change that. There have been several infamous moments in Rangers playoff history where a fight has single-handedly changed a game or series. Rangers fans should be familiar with Dave Schultz pummeling Dale Rolfe in 1974, and have better memories of Nick Fotiu chasing around the Flyers in their 1979 playoff meeting. How important was it when the 1981 team beat up the smaller Kings and gooned their way to the semifinals, or when George McPhee took on Rick Tochett in 1986 for that Cinderella run? Boogaard instantly gives the Rangers credible toughness and something an opposing coach will have to think about when making a lineup card.
There is no arguing that Sather overpaid for Boogaard. But that is the nature of free agency. The Rangers are a big market team who overspent by a few hundred thousand, yet essentially have unlimited financial resources. Fans should worry a lot more about secondary scoring and whether or not underachievers wasting valuable cap room like Redden, Avery, and even Boyle end up in Hartford than taking out their frustrations on the new, needed enforcer. Boogaard is still only 28 and in the prime of his career and will allow players like Callahan, Dubinsky, and even Girardi to concentrate more on their jobs than fisticuffs. With carrying his salary and Brashear's, the cap strapped Rangers will be forced during injuries or slumps to play their promising, younger options, rather than looking outside the organization. One year from now Brashear, Eminger, and even Rissmiller will all be off the cap, the salary discussion won't even be one, and some great team chemistry may have developed amongst that talented and hopefully thriving crop of youngsters.
The only danger of this signing lies in the broken promise from both Sather and head coach John Tortorella that more youth will be played. There's no reason to play Boogaard every game. He is an asset that should be used only when needed and when teams lacking toughness or a true enforcer skate onto the Madison Square Garden ice, the purpose should be to develop younger players with greater potential whether they are Dale Weise, Mats Zuccarello-Aasen, or perhaps Evgeny Grachev or Derek Stepan.
So Rangers fans, enjoy the rest of your summer, cross your fingers that Sather finally did July justice, and get ready for a lot of Boooooooo chants as Madison Square Garden this fall…just hopefully for the right reason.
Hi boys and girls, it's Carp, off the fairways (um, roughs, out-of-bounds, lateral hazards, etc.) for a few minutes.
Haven't been in touch too much with what's going on here, but I know Mama has her eyes peeled.
Anyway, here's the guest blogging schedule through the middle of the coming week. I'll put up the end of the week sked over the weekend.
Saturday, July 24: Joekuh.
Sunday, July 25: Cynar.
Monday, July 26: Paul.
Tuesday, July 27: Josh Thomson, age 26.
Wednesday, July 28: CR9.

I have some media queries that are working well in IE, FF, and Safari. But when I resize my Chrome browser window looking at a site, the media queries don't seem to be taking effect. I know that in previous versions of Chrome, there had been issues with Chrome not working well with media queries. Is the same bug still applying with the update V.34? Or is there an alternative fix for this?
I was hoping to find a tool similar to FF Responsive Web Design Tool (even though it's not foolproof) for Chrome, but haven't found an alternative.
Have you tried the Chrome Emulation Panel?
Chrome comes with far more (and better) developer resources than FF.
Chrome works just fine in this respect—at least on Mac. It works best if you dock the inspector to the right:
Thanks, guys, but I'm still not able to figure out how to get Chrome to respond to media queries and I'm still seeing the same issue only in Chrome. If I take the browser and size it down, I see the main menu wrapping.
That sounds like a problem with your code rather than with the browser.
Happens in Firefox, too, so it's not Chrome specific. It's a code problem, as @ralph_m ; said.
Any way to pinpoint? I'd imagine I can start over again, but I would rather narrow down the problem.
It looks like you fixed the problem by reducing the width of the nav items
You should never make a nav fit the width by using pixel widths in a percentage layout. That nav could be done using display:table and display:table-cell without the needs for any widths and it would scale full width nicely and without breaking.
Thanks, Paul O'B. I'll have to keep that in mind if I come across this type of issue again. Using display:table was the furthest from my mind.

FN Tour Guide's Top FAQsby FN Dish Editor in View All Posts, November 18th, 2008
On special occasions, FN offers private tours to visiting dignitaries, celebrity chefs and the like. One FN'er, Joe, takes time from his day job to lead this behind-the-scenes tour.
A recent tour-ist, Lana, suggested… "You could ask Joe what questions folks ask the most (during tours). I'll bet it'd make an interesting read." Good post, Lana. Thanks, Joe. Here goes:
Q) Who gets to eat the food?
A) Who ever is closest – studio crew etc… We only purchase food for what we are making that week and we donate to any extras to City Harvest each Friday.
Q) On Iron Chef America, do they know the secret ingredient?
A) Before the show, the chefs are told that it could be one from a list of items. The challenge is still amazingly difficult to pull off in an hour. Plus, the cameras never stop rolling…no matter what.
Q) Are all of the Iron Chefs here for each show?
A) When we shoot a battle, there is only one. The others are stand ins.
Q) What is the weirdest ingredient a challenger chef requested on Iron Chef?
A) Jose Andres – Goat testicles
Bonus fact — Our offices are on the site of the original Nabisco factory. The Oreo was invented here in 1912.

CHELSEA is stepping up its efforts to sign a top-quality striker next month, with a key representative understood to have flown to Madrid last week to hold further talks over acquiring either Radomel Falcao or Gonzalo Higuain in the January transfer window.
Fernando Torres scored twice in Saturday's 3-1 win at Sunderland, ending a barren league run stretching more than two months, but his goals came after Marina Granovskaia, club owner Roman Abramovich's personal assistant, travelled to the Spanish capital to discuss whether either Falcao or Higuain could be signed when the window opens.
Chelsea has also joined Arsenal in the hunt for Newcastle United striker Demba Ba, who has a £7 million ($10.7 million) release clause.
Granovskaia's presence in Madrid sparked speculation that Chelsea might attempt to bring back Jose Mourinho as manager, but that option is believed unlikely given that Abramovich is still smarting over the £18 million pay-off Mourinho received by when he left in 2007.
Falcao is a long-term target and is available for £48 million - his buy-out clause - and a likely post-tax salary £5 million. But Chelsea faces strong competition from Manchester City and Real Madrid for the Atletico Madrid striker.
City manager Roberto Mancini recently held talks with Falcao's agent, Jorge Mendes, but Real still appears to be the favourite to acquire his services.
Chelsea is also drawing up contingency plans should it fail to sign Pep Guardiola as its next manger. Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp and Germany coach Joachim Low are seen as viable alternatives, while a surprise candidate could be Wigan Athletic's Roberto Martinez.

POLICE stormed two houses during raids designed to show that drugs have no place in Worcester and dealers have nowhere to hide.
Eighteen officers were involved in two rapid entry raids in Tolladine just before 11am yesterday , one in Rose Avenue and the other in Holly Mount Road.
At the latter address, officers found half an ounce of cannabis and some scales which were seized. Nothing was found at the other house.
No arrests were made, but officers said inquiries were still ongoing.
Officers rushed into the semi-detached house in Rose Avenue and later sent in a sniffer dog to look for drugs.
They found no drugs, but did find £500 in cash.
During the raid in Rose Avenue, a woman inside the property shouted out of the window: "They're bringing the dogs in!".
She also shouted: "Just get the job done and get out!"
People came out into their front gardens to watch the drama unfold while some watched from their windows or sat astride mopeds outside.
A resident watching in Rose Avenue said: "It's better than EastEnders this is."
PC Tim Wood said: "This sends out a message that drugs will not be tolerated in this area or any other area."
Sgt Thomas Clayton of the Rainbow Hill/Gorse Hill safer neighbourhood team who led the warrants said: "Aside from the seizing of evidence, it gives reassurance to the community that we are targeting priority concerns and also it sends a message out to the people we are targeting."
Paul Adams, tenancy enforcement manager at Worcester Community Housing, which manages the property in Rose Avenue, said: "If it is serious enough, people can lose their homes.
If you choose to allow drugs to be dealt in your property, the chances are we will look at removing you from your property. It is the tenant that is responsible."
During the raids officers also stopped a driver in Holly Mount Road because he was not wearing a seatbelt.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/6/2014 (1157 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
St. Vincent wants all of your mind. Nay, she demands it. Commands it.
No, really. "Please refrain from digitally capturing your experience," a robotic recording reminded concertgoers before the avant-pop experimentalist known as Annie Clark took the stage to blow some minds wide open at the Burton Cummings Theatre Sunday night, closing out the 2014 Winnipeg International Jazz Festival.
Well, she certainly wasn't in any danger of losing anyone to iPhone screens. It's hard not to be taken with Clark. She's an endlessly compelling presence -- whether she's a voguing robot or a long-limbed marionette. She's got one of those sly half-smiles that makes you feel like you're both in on a private joke. She's both a performance artist and a nimble-fingered guitar virtuoso, as evidenced by the blistering, fuzzed-out solo that capped show opener Rattlesnake, off this year's landmark self-titled album. The bossy stomp of the social-media-skewering single Digital Witness and Cruel, off 2011's Strange Mercy, followed, setting the breathtaking pace for the night to follow.
Clark is an incredibly poised vocalist; both Every Tear Disappears and the massive Year of the Tiger were master classes in control. Her face is a calm pool of water as she shreds on her guitar.
Indeed, a St. Vincent show is a study in contrasts. Her vocal delivery is both warm and austere. Few can combine the calculated precision of an arena pop spectacle with the spontaneity of an indie rock club gig. But perhaps the most captivating thing about St. Vincent -- both onstage and on record -- is her ability to marry the beautiful and the strange, the siren vocals coupled the discordant feedback squalls on Surgeon being just one example.
And sometimes, it's just beautiful. When she sang the chorus of Cheerleader -- "But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more" -- each "I" was a punch to the heart amid a tidal wave of guitar. She transformed into a skittering robot for the funk-stomper Marrow.
Clark and moog/guitar player Toko Yasuda did the freaky stop-motion doll routine they did on Saturday Night Live for Birth in Reverse, which contains another monster Clark solo. Pity the person who forgot earplugs; with Yasuda, Daniel Mintseris (keys) and Matthew Johnson (drums) providing the backbone, St. Vincent was a force of nature -- especially on the punishing Huey Newton, or Bring Me Your Loves, on which she makes her guitar sing like a power drill.
She slowed things down for the gorgeous Strange Mercy, during which we were reminded of what a powerful lyricist she is. That tenderness was promptly ditched in favour of the freak out Your Lips Are Red, off her 2007 debut Marry Me -- a churning sea of dissonance with mammoth, cavernous drums that closed the show on a stunning high.
Yes, St. Vincent: You had all of our minds. And ears. And hearts. And guts.
Toronto's Digits -- a.k.a. electronic artist Alt Altman, accompanied live by keyboardist Dan Miller -- kicked things off with a tight set of throbbing, U.K.-indebted synthpop tunes. While Altman's vocals often recalled those of Pet Shop Boys innovator Neil Tennant, he only winks at the '80s; unlike other post-punk acts of the last decade, Digits eschews angular synths in favour of rounded, atmospheric textures. Richly layered and moody, Digits makes music you can dance to -- but better yet, they make music you can get lost in.

A MOTORIST was taken to hospital for examination following a collision with a telephone pole in Leigh, near Worcester.
The collision happened in Brockamin Lane, at around 8.15am this morning.
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "It is believed the adverse weather conditions were a contributing factor.
"The driver was negotiating a country lane then collided with the telephone pole.
"There were no major injuries caused, but an ambulance crew took the motorists to hospital, with minor injuries, as a precaution."
One fire crew from Malvern, and a crew from BT, also attended the scene to clear the telephone pole from the road as it had fallen due to the collision.
The road is now re-open.
