For some unholy reason, this blog has gone viral over the past few days. A thousand people have reposted it on my Facebook feed. Usually this stuff brushes past me and saunters off into the abyss where new agey advice goes to die. But this time, I clicked, I read, and I became indescribably pissed off.
Here's the form of the article: It's a list of 30 things the authors assume you are doing to damage your life, things that only they have the insight to warn you of, accompanied by an image allegedly supporting each lesson. Most of it consists of obvious nuggets of wisdom you should have figured out by the time you left college. They are mostly givens for an adult life. I only take issue with a few of them. Most of my problems are with the shoddy web design/image choices. Here are some highlights.
#1. Stop spending time with the wrong people
Pretty simple idea. Hopefully, you nailed this one the first time your junior high buddy spit milk on your Sloppy Joe and set it on fire. The sentiment is valuable. I have a problem with the image.
Is this frog supposed to represent a shitty friend? A bad romantic relationship? Look at that guy? What did he ever do besides not bathe like a human? Sure, he's covered in mud, but he's amphibious. That's more than you can claim, Big-Handed-Self-Help-Jerk-Ready-To-Toss-A-Forlorn-Frog-Aside-Guy. How about a rule encouraging people to not judge animals because they're dirty?
#4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner.
Again, a worthy argument. Here's the picture.
Whoever took this picture isn't putting anything on the back burner except possibly pruning the grapevines adorning his opulent Mediterranean estate. Don't worry. This guy took your advice long ago.
#5. Stop trying to be someone you're not.
This kid is probably…No, this kid is definitely blind. If he's trying to convince Mr. Rogers that he's not blind, he's doing a pretty crappy job what with the unfocused eyes and all the face-touching. But moreover, this is a poor metaphor for the article's audience. They're probably encouraging you to abstain from telling the hot babe at the bar that you're a film producer. They really intend for you to not rent a Porsche for your class reunion. But blind people will generally hit a higher wall than you trying to convince others that they are not blind, usually when it comes to meeting TV hosts or crossing the street. The next time you meet a blind person, ask him how many times he's tried to convince others that he can see. Then note the dexterity with which he can clock you in the face.
#6. Stop trying to hold onto the past.
Image by Max Rossi/Reuters
This is an image of the Costa Concordia disaster in which 32 people lost their lives and 5 crew members were found guilty of manslaughter by way of negligence. I guarantee - No one involved in this event is trying to hold onto the past. Everybody would be pretty darned happy to forget the whole thing, including the dummy captain who turned off the navigation system and ordered the boat into rocky waters so he could wave 'Hi' to his family. Nobody is enjoying themselves except for the cynical retirees sunbathing by the watery grave of strangers. Is this supposed to make me chuckle and say, "Hey, we all make mistakes"? People died here, man!
#10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness.
Image by Andy Hutchinson
Stop looking to others for happiness. Now enjoy this picture of a gorgeous island you don't live on.
#11. Stop being idle.
Everyone should read Bertrand Russell's classic essay "In Praise of Idleness". The point he makes is that the adage of sweaty work being the only path to a virtuous life is a scam handed down by a caste of landowners reaping profit off the toil of others. He posits that in an equal society, we could spread out the work, still make profit, and take some time off to enjoy our friggin' lives before we die. Before you start shouting, "Communist!", don't worry. He makes a good point of noting how the USSR mucked it up and pretty much became the same as their predecessors.
The larger point is that idleness is the seed of all creativity. Don't get me wrong. It comes in different forms. Putzing around on Facebook and watching Jersey Shore are forms of idleness that make you feel as if you're being active even though you're not. Hours pass and all you've done was yuk at a bunch of LOLCats. But it's no accident that the great thinkers of the world have gotten their best ideas in the shower. Why? Because all they're doing is worshing the ol' nuts. They are distracted by nothing. It is the most common and most pure form of meditation. Advice like "Stop being idle" is, frankly, a symptom of a go-get-'em mentality dead set on financial success and bereft of any inquiry towards wisdom. I advise a balance of work and play. Make some money. Then take some time to make a card house or stare at the wall. You might strike upon an idea to build robotic dragons or you might not. But at least you'll have enjoyed a few minutes of your life and quit worrying about striking it rich.
Now, here's the picture.

Is that girl…Is she jumping into a sea of bones?!
#15. Stop trying to compete against everyone else.
Here's the picture.
Image by claudio campa
Alright, don't worry about competing with everyone else. But shit, try to keep up! Don't dangle off the side of a mountain solo just so you can tell your hippie friends how independent you are.
#18. Stop holding grudges.
Look at this guy. He couldn't hold a grudge if it was slathered in bacon. He is a blissful beast mystified by the miracle of snow. Again, unlike this blog's readership, it's not that he's overcome holding a grudge. He can't hold a grudge. He is a simple, thumbless dummy as unaware of the troubles of the world as he is of the leaf on his head.
#22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments.
Image by Mike Killian
Yep, stop overlooking the beauty of small moments…like the Asgardian ring of fire shooting through the sky!! In which country do we regard this as a "small moment", and when can I move there? Are the lakes made purely out of cocktails?
#23. Stop trying to make things perfect.
W…T…living…F, self-help blog! Did you think that rat was taking a cozy nap and cuddling up to his favorite human? That rat is dead, and that child just had her first brush with mortality. I, for one, actually think that rats can be cute and make great pets…in the right circumstances! But I'm going to lay down money that this picture was not taken in an OSHA-approved world. I'm betting that hydrogen peroxide won't be found for miles and miles.You just showed me a picture of a little girl of the Third World devastated by the loss of the only friend she ever knew, a dead rat currently leaking rabies all over her. I get that we don't have to make things perfect, self-help blog. But do we have to make them this awful?
#29. Stop focusing on what you don't want to happen.
THIS IS AN ENTIRE LIST OF THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN! Not to play semantics, but I haven't read one thing you want me to actually do, self-help blog. You've given me 28 arduous Whole Foods-culture commandments of shit you don't want me to do, shit you assume I'm already doing. And now you're going to encourage me to get active? Active at what? I can't find the link for 30 Things You Should Be Doing to Yourself. Here's the picture.
Image by Sarolta Bán
You know what I really don't want to happen? I don't want a little girl to get eaten by a bear. That is clearly the next image in this series. Here's a pro-tip for all you new parents out there. The next time the cinematographer from The Ring offers to shoot pictures of your little one petting a forest-dwelling carnivore that survives solely on the bodies of smaller beings, politely decline.
You can read the rest of the thing if you're into that stuff. Better yet, I've got my own list:
30 Things to Stop Doing Altogether
#1 - #30. Stop wasting your time reading new agey tripe on the internet. Close your laptop. Put down your phone. Walk outside. Go hear a band and don't take pictures. Stare at the sky. Read a book. Read another book. Eat a donut. Eat a salad. Lie on the floor. Boink your significant other. Find someone to boink. Go to a museum. Go to an island. But for the love of Crom, stop taking the advise of any yahoo who knows HTML tags, including me, and go experience something.

MSNBC plunged further into Right Wing Derangement Syndrome last night. Al Sharpton and his ilk jumped on a photo of one person (who easily could have been a plant), and an awkward statement by the son of a Romney surrogate as proof positive that conservatives are intentionally questioning President ObamaŌĆÖs citizenship as a strategy. I agree with Reverend Sharpton. If the Right Wing becomes more deranged, theyŌĆÖll start calling people ŌĆ£white interlopers,ŌĆØ or comparing them to Confederate slaveholders.

Naguib Sawiris in London/
I recently returned from London (more from there later), but unfortunately missed an event at SOAS last night at which Naguib Sawiris, the founder of the Free Egyptians party, spoke. Arabist reader Dalia Malek was there, though. For background, Sawiris is the wealthiest man in Egypt, with his family playing major roles in the telecom, construction, cement and tourism industries. He also owns OnTV, which is post-revolution Egypt has become a must-watch channel for its political talk shows and interviews of political and military figures. Sawiris has moved fast, using his wealth and influence to make the Free Egyptians the first new liberal, secular party to get going.
Naguib Sawiris and the Free Egyptians Party in London
by Dalia Malek
Last night, Naguib Sawiris gave a talk on the aims of the Free Egyptians Party at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. Sharing the panel with Essam Samad from the Egyptian Association in Europe, they discussed the party's strategies before a large and animated audience.
Sawiris engaged the audience with friendly, casual banter, making a joke about female drivers while driving a more serious point about upholding the rights of women. He spoke about education and poverty, suggesting that Egypt look toward European countries like Germany as a model.
He also derided attempts at isolating Egyptians with dual citizenship or non-Egyptian spouses from political participation.
Sawiris stated that the Free Egyptians Party does not intend to counterbalance the Muslim Brotherhood, and that his disagreement with them is strictly within the context of democratic debate. He indicated that the parties only disagree on two fundamental points: the rights of women and the rights of Copts.

Thanks to forensic linguistics, J.K. Rowling was recently revealed as the author of the crime novel, The Cuckoo's Calling, using the pseudonym, Robert Galbraith. But how exactly did Rowling transition from Harry Potter to adult fiction?
The visualization above reveals how the author's writing has changed over time, by examining over 1.3 million words from the seven Harry Potter novels up to Rowling's first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy.

Very rarely do you see a bike like the Yamaha FZS get described as "macho," but all that notwithstanding, this one does come with sporty good looks and an eye-catching design. Put one and one together and you have a product that just speaks to you.
The first great design from the FZS comes from the lower naked part of the bike, particularly in the chain and engine, which have no covers. From there, you can take a good look at the bike's Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) console, which comes with a plethora of high-tech features, including a digital speedometer, a tachometer, a trip meter, a fuel gauge, and other indicators. While the LCD dashboard is similar to what Yamaha FZ-16 has, one noticeable difference between the two is that the FZS looks a lot bigger, thanks in part to its front fairing. Moreover, the logo of Yamaha has been pasted on the airscoops while the bike logo is done the same on the tank.
Finally, the Yamaha FZS is powered by 150cc engine that produces in excess of 14 horsepower and 13.6 Nm (10 lb-ft) of torque.
Find out more about the Yamaha FZS after the jump.
About Yamaha FZS
"Stylish Macho"
FZ-S highlights the style quotient and has more flesh to flaunt with purely European international design like new colours & graphics, aerodynamic chiseled windshield, stylish & sporty carbon pattern meter console, and more aggressive looking headlight. The new FZ-S is for stylish and attention seeking Macho man.
FZ-S scores high in looks not only in its segment but beyond and is designed to satiate the need for style and fashion by riders. Etched with style and geared to today's fashion conscious customers, FZ-S is a fusion of machismo and fashion.
FZ-S overflows with dynamism and originality. The running performance brims with thrust that overpowers all others with its unprecedented torque. Dubbed as "Lord of the Streets," FZ-S is designed and engineered with the potential for active and even aggressive enjoyment of around-town street riding and styling that brings pride of ownership and makes any rider look like they own the road.
With the Triple Macho concept projecting the Muscular silhouette, muscular body parts and muscular chassis, FZ -S is an object which reflects visual expression of performance on the streets.
"Air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder 153cc engine"
A newly designed 153cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, single-cylinder, 2-valve engine with a max.output of 14 Ps and a max. torque of 13.6 N.m., characterized by its breathtaking pick up and featuring an electric starter.
"Monocross suspension adopted"
A Monocross rear suspension unit provides 120 mm of wheel travel, while optimized oil and damping valve specs help ensure agile running performance and handling. It inhibits bottoming while riding with a tandem passenger as well as providing a very comfortable ride.
"Exhaust efficiency, sound and concentration of mass"
To give a sense of volume to the machine, an external diameter of 35mm is adopted in a two-layer type exhaust to minimize the effect of heat on the pipe. The layout features a large-volume primary character on the underside of the crankcase. The muffler is an irregular shaped tapered type mid-ship muffler.
"India's first "140/60-R17" size radial tyre (rear)"
The rear tyre is India's first radial tyre with a 60% aspect ratio. Both the front and rear tyres on this model are tubeless type that are less susceptible to sudden flattening should the tyre be punctured.
"New stylish graphic "
Cool and exciting graphics make the bike look super-stylish. The graphics give the bike a contemporary and a sporty look. The new look of the bike will surely make heads turn.
"12-liter fuel tank with uniquely styled plastic resin cover"
The steel fuel tank with a plastic resin outer cover takes advantage of the freedom of shaping that plastic provides, giving the tank cover a powerful shape with modulations suggestive of the muscular body of an athlete.
"Trendy Meter Console"
The meters on the FZS are installed in a Full Liquid Crystal Display. The speedometer, tachometer, trip meter, fuel gauge and other indicators are set in optimum position to keep the field of vision clear. Also, the engine starting signal is an example of the spirit of innovation.
The bike sports a fairly wide rear fender that guards the tyre from the mud and water splashes. It minimizes the effect of the mud/splash and gives maximum protection.
More seat space provides a more comfortable riding experience. The seat is long, firm and especially designed for the pillion rider. The grab bar not only acts as a backrest but is something the pillion rider can hold on to if the road is bumpy.

I only thought we were going to die once.
After all the news about riots and demonstrations in Brazil, I have to admit that I was a little bit nervous. I'd traveled to some regions with moderate unrest, but I hadn't willingly planned a major trip to a part of the world where news stories were illustrated with robocop uniformed policemen and hundreds of thousands of people protesting the exact event I was attending.
When we got there, reports on the news couldn't be farther from the truth. We spent most of our time in a northeastern city named Natal, population 1M. It reminded me of a laid back Miami, with beautiful coastal views,magnificent bridges and a cosmopolitan downtown. Traditionally a Brazilian travel destination, it's possible we avoided the protests because the residents seemed genuinely thrilled to welcome international visitors to their paradise. I spent a day or two on high alert (typical for me in a new place) then quickly realized that I could let my guard down.
We ventured out to the beach without locking our balcony door. We flagged down cabs. We acted like tourists. We never did stop wearing the passport belt. Old habits die hard and I'd like to avoid the experience of trying to get back into the USA without the proper documents.
The people I met from Brazil were kind and happy and welcoming. Even when we were butchering their language, they smiled and nodded and pointed and repeated and repeated and repeated in Portuguese until we understood. It was the first time I'd traveled somewhere and not felt the judgement of being American. Maybe their judgements are reserved for closer continental rivals, but we didn't encounter the typical reaction to our nationality.
So. Fast forward to our last day in Natal. The cab, arranged by our hotel, picked us up at 3AM and we started the hour-long drive to the brand new airport. When we'd landed, nine days earlier, you could still smell the fresh paint. En route to the airport, we passed bars and restaurants still busy from the previous night. We left the main city and started the drive through the small, quiet areas of town….run down apartments, seedy hotels, boarded up shops. The city looked a lot different in daylight on our drive in the opposite direction.
The airport is far. Eventually, the road becomes a well lit highway, but to get there, cars must navigate on unlit country roads that are hidden from surrounding pockets of life. We were about 40 minutes into the drive on one of these unlit roads and our driver, who had been passionately talking to someone on his radio, pulled over. Full stop. Side of the road. Dark. Two lanes. No lights. No cars in sight.
I don't really remember much.
I'm told he said words. "Happy news, portuguese, portuguese, portuguese. Happy news."
He nods his head up and down.
He gets out of the cab (OUT OF THE CAB) and walks behind the car (IT'S PITCH DARK) and out of sight.
He attempted to sound comforting, but I could only hear the voice in my mind preparing me for the worst. "This is how I die. It's been a good run."
I didn't remember any of those pieces of advice that people, especially women, read for situations like these. I just sat there.
I look over at AC who also seemed to be preparing for death.
I figured that the worst scenario was that our driver had been paid to leave us there, but I couldn't bring myself to turn around and look. Not really wanting an answer, I asked AC, "Is he still there? What is he doing?"
He had the better seat in the current situation, but at first wasn't able to see much.
"I don't know."
"I can't see."
… ten seconds pass *feels like three hours*
"Oh. He's just splashing water on his face"
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Pulse racing. Leaky eyes. Short breaths. Blood sugar doing who knows what.
He did seem tired. The rest of the drive wasn't something I'd like to repeat anytime soon either.
We made it to the airport safely and neither of us talked about what happened for a couple hours.
In my life, that was the first time I felt fear of imminent death. Here's hoping it is also my last.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My youngest goes to school here for kindergarten. His teachers are amazing! His issues have all been addressed and he has taking to appropriate tests to get him the extra help he need to thrive. Wonderful teacher parent communication. Very glad i got to have this experience.
My daughter attended 2nd grade @ Dr Crisp and had a great experience all the staff members are wonderful and she made a lot of friends.They also have a lot of fundraisers such as family bingo night,bake sales etc.She also attended Mt Pleasant for 1st grade when we 1st relocated to Nashua and we liked Dr Crisp much better.
My child has attended this school for two years now. There is no communication from the school, no extracuricular activities, the teachers are often times visibly frustrated, there is a huge bullying issue in this school, there are no arts, there are no assemblies, the principal isn't ever there, there isn't even enough money for paper and the children have to draw on the back of their old school work, no parent involvement, and all they do is coach the kids to pass their NECAP so they can lose their SINI classification.
they are a great school there teachers are devoted to helping the children and their staff is wonderful.
My oldest son attended Dr. Crisp School and has graduated from Nashua High . I now have a son in forth grade at Dr. Crisp and is doing well in and out of the classroom . The teachers, then and now really care about the kids .
I went her and absolutly loved it! My sis continues to go! Great teachers!

I made these for the first time trying to use up some of the abundant parsley from my garden. They were good and I will definitely make them again. I served them with Scallops and Pasta with Pistachio-Parsley Pesto (another myrecipe), and they paired well. I substituted non-fat yogurt and skim milk. Next time, I will substitute margarine with butter since the recipe calls for so much.

KEVIN McGILLAssociated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Lawyers for the indicted former director of a New Orleans nonprofit agency want more material from a news agency about anonymous online posts. Stacey Jackson's lawyers want more material from NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune as they seek dismissal of charges for possible prosecutorial misconduct. Jackson is charged with taking kickbacks from contractors for New Orleans Affordable Housing, an agency she once headed. The news agency, after losing earlier court battles, had already turned over materials about two anonymous posters who commented on Jackson's case on NOLA.com while using the names "Aircheck" and "Jammer1954." After reviewing the records privately, judges found that "Jammer" was not a government official. Reviews of material on "Aircheck" were continuing. On Friday, Jackson asked that the news agency be ordered to provide records about a third poster who used the online name "kefir." Jackson's filing said the poster "appears to be a former Assistant United States Attorney, who is an admitted blogger, or two of them acting in concert." The request is the latest fallout from a 2012 scandal in which two former federal prosecutors resigned after admitting to improper posts. Their admissions led to a flurry of defense motions in numerous cases and the overturning of convictions in a major case involving shootings by New Orleans police. On Thursday, it was disclosed that the two former assistant U.S. attorneys, Sal Perricone and Jan Mann, have agreed never to practice law in the federal court covering southeast Louisiana in return for avoiding additional discipline. The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility has completed an investigation into the postings. It has not been made public. Jackson's lawyers have been seeking a copy of the report. On Friday, U.S. District Magistrate Judge Joseph Wilkinson ordered that the report be turned over to the court for a private review ahead of a May 15 hearing.(Copyright 2014 The Associated Press.

More importantly can we just feel very sad for the GSofA right now… what a terrible thing to happen to such a building and all the students' work :(
Had a lovely day in Sheffield but feeling sad and missing friends. I would like to get better soon but I don't have the money to pay £1000+ to sort it out with a specialist. Ups and downs and round and rounds.
Sad about missing friends far away. And sad about missing friends close by. And sad about being ill. And sad about being on this horrible diet due to being ill (no sugar, no grains, no dairy, no potatoes, mostly no fruit, NO FUN). And feeling completely like a zombie going nowhere.
Also I received an offer from my Sheffield uni interview the other day and it was the craziest thing ever as the interviewee grilled the hell out of me and made it seem like getting a place was like walking through fire. But at least that's one thing to be happy about. Now I'm sad about too many choices but I should probably be fucking grateful.
I am fucking grateful, I'm also ill, ugh.
Did I mention I'm ill.
Also forgot to mention I got to sit in court on Friday as note taker. Pretty embarrassing when the clients started asking me all these law related questions and I had to admit I did architecture. They probably just thought I was going to be drawing everywhere instead of taking notes. Anyway we 'won'. And the barrister was young and hot, so double win really. Am I allowed to say that? Probably not.
Line. Fran.
tumblr tumblr it's been a while…
I'm soon to go on a no sugar no grain diet to hopefully kick start getting rid of an illness I will have soon had for a year. I've finally had the chance to speak to someone who really knows their stuff and I might actually figure out what is wrong with me. It also turns out the underlying cause would have most probably triggered my depression. So I suppose I may have had this for longer than I had first thought.
Despite that, since that dark time in my life and picking myself up - things have just got better and better. I worked my ass off getting the experience and building up my portfolio, I got interviews and offers from top universities and I am COMPLETELY looking forward to starting my Masters this September.
This is for all those days I thought I wouldn't make it, thought I wouldn't get better, thought I had ruined my life.
I hadn't.

A crashed off-site RAID drive
published by
Thu, 12/17/2009 - 4:13pm
Here are some more observations on using RAID on the Mac OS X, particularly in terms of off-site storage, terminology, and upgrading. Here is a photo of my former off-site hard drive:
It's been sitting in an office desk drawer for a couple of months, and the time came to cycle it back into the RAID set. But when I tried to spin it up, I was greeted by a disappointing rattle, and the drive didn't come on-line. The drive, a WD 7500 AAKS, was 14 months old when it died. In the photo above, I've removed the case cover in preparation for an autopsy.
To recap, I have a Mac Pro, which has 4 drive bays. I routinely use one bay for the system and two for a RAID set that holds the system's Time Machine backup. Here is my process for swapping out the off-site copy:
I shut down the Mac Pro.
I remove one of the hard drives from the RAID set. On the Mac Pro, I simply have to pull out the drive carrier, a metal flange that lets me plug a SATA drive directly into, or out of, its signal and power connectors.
I put a Post-it on the flange noting the date of removal.
I store the hard drive, flange and all, in an anti-static bag. Then I put the bag in a padded envelope. Now I've added
padded envelope outside that one. The package is marked "Personal Property" so that company auditors don't get confused by this non-company equipment.
Meanwhile, I take the former off-site drive and erase the drive header using an MS Windows system. I use the MS DOS command
. This is because OS X will confuse a former RAID set member for a current member. There seems to be
no way
for OS X to erase this drive without messing up the RAID set.
I install the erased drive into one of the empty Mac Pro drive bays.
I power up the Mac Pro. The RAID set comes on-line, marked as "Degraded" since I've removed one of the drives. The replacement drive comes up as erased.
I start DiskUtil and give the replacement drive a quick HFS+ format. Then I drag it into the "degraded" RAID set. I ask it to rebuild the set and, yes, it can erase the new drive (again). The rebuilding begins.
Recently DiskUtil has been crashing shortly after it starts the rebuild. But I find it resumes the rebuild just fine when I restart DiskUtil. The total rebuild takes several hours. I can do other work while it proceeds.
I repeat this process every several weeks. If the house blows up, or if someone steals my computer (unlikely, since it's over a year old, and no longer worth much itself), I haven't lost everything.
The Dead Off-Site Drive
So far, I'm not sure if the drive was mishandled, or if it died a 'natural death.' It's possible that someone was rifling through the desk, took out the package with the hard drive, bounced it on the floor, and put it back. On the other hand, that seems unlikely.
In any case, I've increased the amount of packaging on the off-site hard drive. Hopefully that will further reduce the risk of physical damage.
It's important to exchange drives every couple of months for two reasons:
If something dramatic ruins the system at home, I still have the off-site backup. So I haven't lost more than a couple months' work. Since the drive has my
family library
on it, I really don't want to risk losing the whole thing.
If the off-site drive fails (like this one did) then the periodic swap will detect the failure.
Now I'm tempted to keep a
drive in a safe deposit box. The only problem is that I will
need a way to verify that drive's condition. I don't want it to die in storage without the death being detected.
I try to keep my entire family library on-line because it's the only way I can continuously assure its integrity. If I store things off-line, I can't assure that the off-line copies will remain readable. If the files are on-line, then I regularly re-write the information when I swap disks in the RAID set.
I used to burn DVDs to hold some archives off-line, but it's not really reliable or practical any more. If I burn parts of it to DVDs, then I have to periodically verify the DVDs to verify its integrity. Thanks to modern camera technology, I have too many gigabytes of family mementos to save them to DVD. It's just not practical to burn all those DVDs and monitor their condition.
My current approach is not 100% foolproof. A tornado could in theory take out both the office building and our home computer, though they're far enough apart to make it unlikely. It's also possible that many files might get damaged and the damage go undetected until after I've swapped out the off-line copy. I've thought about ways to detect this using Tripwire (0r a vairant) on a separate "archive" copy of critical files.
Opening a WD 7500
Most hard drives I've opened have been ancient things holding a mere 2 GB or less. The 7500 is the largest and most modern drive I've tried to open.
All modern drives rely on bolts with "Torx" or other exotic heads to keep the case intact. The bolt holes should be obvious in the above photo. Most of the bolt heads were covered by round plastic stickers. One bolt was covered by part of the drive's paper label. I had to scrape away that part of the label. Generally you can find that bolt by finding an indentation under the label.
The drive had 8 or 9 Torx bolts. I used a T-8 Torx bit to remove them. Unlike older drives, this one also had a bolt over the drive's spindle. That bolt required a 1/16 hex head bit to remove.
The drive has 4 separate platters. I look forward to taking them apart.
RAID Terminology
A reader recently pointed out that I misused RAID terminology in
an earlier RAID post
. I've corrected the post. I've also taught myself a mnemonic to remember which RAID is which:
RAID stands for
rray of
RAID 0 = RAID "striping," in which we interleave data between two disks. It's numbered 0 (zero) because it's not
real RAID
: it's not
RAID 1 = RAID "mirroring," in which we write the same data to two different disks. This is numbered 1 (one) because this is the
first real RAID
configuration: it's a redundant array.
I don't generally deal with the higher RAID modes, because I get what I need from RAID mirroring (RAID 1).
RAID Upgrading
The last time I upgraded my RAID configuration, I went from 250 GB drives to 750 GB. This time I'll probably go to 1.5 TB drives. I'll use an old 750 GB drive as my new system drive.
I already owned an extra 750 GB drive. I had formatted it to use as my next system drive, but it was pressed into service in the RAID array when the off-site drive failed.
Originally I'd figured that "any old drive would do" for my RAID array. I don't do "real work" on the array - I only use it for the Time Machine backups, which take place in the background.
If I make it a habit to recycle RAID drives as system drives, then I have to buy "reasonable quality" drives for the array. My system drive should be reasonably fast.
In the future I might use one "really fast" drive in the RAID array. It probably won't improve Time Machine performance, but I can use the faster drive when I upgrade my system. The slower drives get recycled and the faster drive serves as my new system drive. I might do that when I move up to 1.5 TB.

A toast
My sister is getting married tonight to her long-time boyfriend, John. It's pretty emotional, obviously…hard for me to have a cogent thought on it.
I gave the toast last night at the rehearsal dinner. It went something like this.
Hi there, I'm John, Julie's brother. A lot of people think we look similar, but I'm the one with the better hair, if you get confused.
Welcome to our city! Thank you all so much for coming. Whether you crossed an ocean or the continent, braved a blizzard roaring across central Indiana, or just took a taxi from your condo on the Gold Coast, we're all so glad you're here. It's an amazing celebration, this union of two families, joining into one with John and Julie at the center, isn't it?
Watching John and Julie together for a couple years—or three, actually five, I think now, John? Is that right?—it's clear how much they love each other. One sign is their constant use of terms of endearment. "Can you refill my cabernet, honey?" "That shirt looks great on you, sweetie." "I think your brother is drunk again, dear."
But over time, they've also learned to use those words like married veterans do, with just slight changes of inflection. "I cleaned the litter box last time, honey." "Yes, I do know which exit we should have gotten off at, sweetie." "Well, don't blame me, you voted for him, dear."
It's obvious these people get each other, are so clearly right for each other. It's always amazing to me when two souls find their perfect matches. So many things have to go just right to get to this point in space and time, so many coincidences have to line up just so. It's a miracle of sorts that they found each other in this universe, and that we're all here together tonight. It's enough to make you think maybe it's not a coincidence at all, maybe it's something like fate.
It's a reason to celebrate. It's a reason to raise our glasses.
As we do, I will tell you I looked for a pithy quote about Chicago and love, but everything I found was from Algren and Sandburg and they were all about hog butchering and wheat stacking and coal-stained skies and steel cables. Doesn't fit this romantic, lovely occasion, nor does it fit the beautiful city around us, this sleek city of architecture and art.
But along that line, I did find a quote from an artist deeply associated with Chicago, the great modernist Marc Chagall. Maybe you've seen his Four Seasons mosaic just down the street, or America Windows at the Art Institute. He said, "In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. "
To love, to lovers, to John and Julie. Cheers.

Hiatus Unbroken, Sort Of
I have valiantly fought twenty-page research papers, countless sleepless nights, and every other university horror and SURVIVED!
Coming back to Tumblr I feel like that friend you haven't talked to in awhile, so I'm not ashamed to say I'm in the awkward friendship stage with Tumblr until I completely veg out this summer and we become best friends again.
With that being said, I have sadly abandoned all these Potter, well Tumblr-wise (ThanksHarry and WhatIfHarry) I could never abandoned Harry in totality. Cutting him out of my life would be painful and messy as I would have to physically rip out a rather large chunk of my heart and brain. I won't promise (as I would in the past) that I continue to work on the sites, but they will always be there as a testament of our love and to look at and smile at all things Potter.
I have one more Harry Potter venture up my sleeve, but it focuses more on the literary, academic, heavy analytical side to Harry Potter. If any fans have be up to date with Alohomora and the Academica podcast, it will be very similar.
But alas, I will not speak a word of it until the Tumblr is ago and I have a very concrete site where you guys can read by Harry Potter world jumble. Hope this will interest you all, but I'm fine with talking to myself too :X

Editor's Note: I (Red Phillips) recently posted that I want to make CHT a hub of Constitution Party news and commentary because the CP has few such unofficial outlets on the web. Savrola objected and when asked to clarify why, asked if he could submit a stand alone article with his rational. Here it is below. The paragraph breaks were messed up in the word document he sent me so I had to guess at some of them. I hope I got them right. My reply will follow.
In the past few months, I've had the opportunity to observe the campaign of former Rep Cynthia Davis, probably the most electable Third-Party candidate since Joe Young ran for State Representative in North Carolina on the Libertarian Party ticket ten years or so ago. Rep. Davis will not win her race for Liutenant-Governor. It costs approximately ten millions to win such a race. She has no network in the counties of Missouri, and declines to focus on issues relevent to the people of Missouri—just as the more mainstream parties do.
Which brings us to the question: why does the Constitution Party continue to field candidates? Rep. Davis was formerly the most conservative Republican legislator in Missouri, and has recently termed out. Joining the Constitution Party is eminently practicable from her perspective—but considerably less so from the Constitution Party's.
Why? Because the Constitution Party is based on culturalism. Its constituency consists of people who consider themselves capable of being governed by a document they consider to be Sacred—the Constitution.
The problem with the Constitution is that constitutions have gone the way of monarchies. Lip-service is paid, but the document has no relevence.
Republican like to tout their opposition to political-correctness by making a token show of opposition to Sharia Law. Nearly all Americans are against Sharia Law, because Sharia Law doesn't suit them.
Constitutionalists, in the Constitution Party, like the Constitution because it does suit them, and their families—and has suited them—the old-stock Americans, for generations.
The number of Americans of Scots-Irish and Germanic-Scots descent is in precipitious decline. Unfortunately, it is these descendents of old-stock Americans, which make up the main electorate of the Constitution Party.
The Party is made of almost entirely of Religionists and Religionist home-schooolers. It's appeal to other groups will always be negligible, in the current paradigm.
Why does this Party exist—as a Political Party? Because Howard Phillips actually believed that the presidency was an important office from which to committ activism?
Howard Phillips had enough experience in politics to know that winning campaigns in the United States are simply exercises in quantitive logistics, combined with just a touch of finesse in managing the media.
So why all the disastrous runs for presidency? Why all the longshot races for congress and senate? Because the Constitution Party's leaders expect too much of the American people. They believe that the average "conservative" voter is just like them. In fact, Constitution Party voters are literally a rare and dying breed.
Any impartial observer who regularly attends Constitution Party and Republican Meetings will notice that the Constitution Party members are better dressed and mannered, with a better carriage than their Republican counter-parts.
So defeat follows defeat.
John Derbyshire is the intellectual face of the Constitution Party. He admits in an interview that his public-schooled children rejected his "talk" on race-relations out of hand.
So what's the answer? Very simple: the formulation of a political party is not the correct path to political power or prominence for a movement.
The Constitution Party is, again, a Culturist Movement, and not equipped or prepared to function as a political party. Elected offices are not worth having, without a powerful media and cultural presence. It's meager energies and funds should be directed towards fostering the fragile society of its it members, and ensuring their future—through the creation of institutions of learning and production, and for the arts.
As for the media presence, we may either continue to isolate ourselves from the sattellites or buy some of our own.
Again, in the current political atmosphere, elected office is not worth having, much less campaigning for. Any politician seeking to use the Party as a vehicle to obtain elected office should be treated as a parasite or an ignoramus.
Casa Pound shows us the way forward. The reason that third parties lose and insurgent parties like the BNP fail is that they will not understand that electing representatives to office is not the purpose or goal of a successful political party.

Get the Look: Raf Simons Varsity Jacket
Among the many great jackets we've received, this Raf Simons Varsity jacket is one of our favorite jackets of the SS12 arrivals. The body is constructed from a crisp navy material and the raglan sleeves are white leather, giving the overall tone of the jacket a great contrast, while the dash of green on the cuffs is the perfect accent! This jacket is from the 1995 line, which recreates his iconic first collection in modern materials, classic to both Raf Simons fans and followers. The boxy fit exemplifies Raf's silhouette, and this jacket is a perfect testament to his attention to proportion. As you can see, it can transform a look many ways!

A Parent's Guide to Sun Safety
The Lowdown on Lotion
"It's never too early to start thinking about the risks of sun exposure," says Dr. Lichtenfeld. "Particularly dangerous are the sunburns that occur in young people. These sunburns are linked to increased risk of serious skin cancers (such as melanoma) in older people."
Dr. Lichtenfeld notes that sun protection can worsen as children get older. "Role models for young people, such as movie and TV stars, who promote a tan appearance as a healthy appearance, are actually encouraging their young fans to engage in harmful behaviors." It's important that parents encourage a young child to use sunblock routinely, and she may be more likely to carry the habit into her teen and adult years.
Speaking of habits, are you using sunscreen, too? It's crucial that parents model this good behavior to avoid sending a message that sunscreen is unnecessary as we get older.
Sunscreens, available in lotions, ointments, sprays, gels, creams and sunsticks, work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering the sun's rays on the skin. Your child's pediatrician may have advised you to use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 or higher. An SPF indicates how many minutes of protection the sunscreen offers before there is a risk of burning. For example, when using an SPF 15 product, a person who normally burns after 20 minutes can tolerate approximately 15 times 20 minutes (300 minutes) without burning. Most physicians recommend sunscreens with SPF 15 to 30.
Regardless of which SPF you use, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen designed to block both UVB and UVA rays. Many people think to use sunscreen when they're outside for long periods, but it's important to remember that small, daily amounts of sun damage add up. Additionally, sunscreen does not mean a child can prolong his time in the sun—dangerous rays still penetrate the skin.

IRVING, TX - 2008: Todd Grantham of the Dallas Cowboys poses for his 2008 NFL headshot at photo day in Irving, Texas. (Photo by Getty Images)
According to reports, the University of Georgia Bulldogs are looking at Dallas Cowboys defensive line coach Todd Grantham as a possible replacement for departed defensive coordinator Willie Martinez.
Grantham had served as defensive coordinator in Cleveland for three seasons before being fired and coming to Dallas as the defensive line coach, a position he's held for most of his pro and college coaching career.
Since coming to the NFL in the 1999 season, Grantham has served as defensive line coach for Indianapolis (1999-2001), Houston (2002-2004) and of course Dallas (2008-present), with his only service as a defensive coordinator coming under Romeo Crennel's Browns (2005-2007).
Reportedly, Grantham is on the "short-list," so to speak, of Georgia's head coach Mark Richt to take over the Bulldogs' defense, and has, in fact, already been approached by school representatives.
There are no rules prohibiting colleges from contacting NFL coaches during the season.

Some things may be common between surgeons and actors ("What do surgeons & actors have in common?" Open Page, July 17) but I am not sure if actors have the same dedication as some surgeons I know.
I am a paediatric oncologist. I once requested a neurosurgeon to operate on an eight-year-old who had a tumour pressing his spinal cord. He saw the child around midnight, started the surgery an hour later, and saved the boy's legs from being permanently paralysed. When I thanked him for performing the surgery in the middle of the night, he said: "For you and me, it is one night's sleep; for the boy, it his whole life." A year later, I had a four-month-old patient with a liver tumour. He was bleeding heavily and we needed a liver surgeon to be on stand-by just in case the infant needed emergency surgery. A young and skilled liver surgeon cancelled his trip to an annual conference to be available. When I thanked him, his answer was: "Annual conferences take place every year. But this young boy has only one chance."

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) --
The Plover man charged with killing his neighbor admitted his guilt in court Friday. Jose Luis Flores Aca pled guilty to first-degree homicide and first-degree sexual assault with great bodily harm. A third charge of hiding a corpse was dismissed, but will be read in at sentencing.
Aca strangled 36-year-old Jamie Koch to death August 6th, 2013 at the building where they both had separate apartments. He then placed her body in Koch's car and drove her to a Waupaca county farm field. That's where Flores Aca set fire to the car in an attempt to dispose of Koch's body. Koch's remains were discovered the next day.
Koch's family was in court Friday as Flores Aca entered his guilty pleas. The prosecution is asking for a sentence of life in prison with a concurrent 40-year sentence. They also want lifetime supervision and mandatory sex offender registration if he ever does get out of prison.
Judge Thomas Flugaur ordered a presentence investigation, and that should be completed by September 9th. Flores Aca will be back in court for sentencing September 30th at 1:30 p.m.

- 1 cored fresh pineapple (about 20 oz.)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1. Slice pineapple into eight rings and cut each into 6 pieces. (If you can't find cored pineapple, buy a whole one and use a paring knife to remove skin and cut into slices. Extract core from each slice with a round cookie cutter.)
- 2. Warm butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter begins to foam, add pineapple and brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until pineapple begins to brown and sugar is dissolved, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, scrape into a shallow bowl, and let stand until just warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
- 3. Divide ice cream among 6 dessert dishes. Top each with pineapple and sauce. Serve immediately.
