Numerical Matrices Method for Nonlinear System Identification and Description of Dynamics of Biochemical Reaction Networks Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 10, 15 May 2007, Pages 3459-3473 Alexey V. Karnaukhov, Elena V. Karnaukhova and James R. Williamson Abstract A flexible Numerical Matrices Method (NMM) for nonlinear system identification has been developed based on a description of the dynamics of the system in terms of kinetic complexes. A set of related methods are presented that include increasing amounts of prior information about the reaction network structure, resulting in increased accuracy of the reconstructed rate constants. The NMM is based on an analytical least squares solution for a set of linear equations to determine the rate parameters. In the absence of prior information, all possible unimolecular and bimolecular reactions among the species in the system are considered, and the elements of a general kinetic matrix are determined. Inclusion of prior information is facilitated by formulation of the kinetic matrix in terms of a stoichiometry matrix or a more general set of representation matrices. A method for determination of the stoichiometry matrix beginning only with time-dependent concentration data is presented. In addition, we demonstrate that singularities that arise from linear dependencies among the species can be avoided by inclusion of data collected from a number of different initial states. The NMM provides a flexible set of tools for analysis of complex kinetic data, in particular for analysis of chemical and biochemical reaction networks. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (196 kb) |
Statistical Evaluation of Ion-Channel Gating Models Based on Distributions of Log-Likelihood Ratios Biophysical Journal, Volume 90, Issue 10, 15 May 2006, Pages 3523-3545 László Csanády Abstract The distributions of log-likelihood ratios (ΔLL) obtained from fitting ion-channel dwell-time distributions with nested pairs of gating models (Ξ, full model; ΞR, submodel) were studied both theoretically and using simulated data. When Ξ is true, ΔLL is asymptotically normally distributed with predictable mean and variance that increase linearly with data length (n). When ΞR is true and corresponds to a distinct point in full parameter space, ΔLL is Γ-distributed (2ΔLL is χ-square). However, when data generated by an l-component multiexponential distribution are fitted by l+1 components, ΞR corresponds to an infinite set of points in parameter space. The distribution of ΔLL is a mixture of two components, one identically zero, the other approximated by a Γ-distribution. This empirical distribution of ΔLL, assuming ΞR, allows construction of a valid log-likelihood ratio test. The log-likelihood ratio test, the Akaike information criterion, and the Schwarz criterion all produce asymmetrical Type I and II errors and inefficiently recognize Ξ, when true, from short datasets. A new decision strategy, which considers both the parameter estimates and ΔLL, yields more symmetrical errors and a larger discrimination power for small n. These observations are explained by the distributions of ΔLL when Ξ or ΞR is true. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (989 kb) |
Versatility and Connectivity Efficiency of Bipartite Transcription Networks Biophysical Journal, Volume 91, Issue 8, 15 October 2006, Pages 2749-2759 Mark P. Brynildsen, Linh M. Tran and James C. Liao Abstract The modulation of promoter activity by DNA-binding transcription regulators forms a bipartite network between the regulators and genes, in which a smaller number of regulators control a much lager number of genes. To facilitate representation of gene expression data with the simplest possible network structure, we have characterized the ability of bipartite networks to describe data. This has led to the classification of two types of bipartite networks, versatile and nonversatile. Versatile networks can describe any data of the same rank, and are indistinguishable from one another. Nonversatile networks require constraints to be present in data they describe, which may be used to distinguish between different network topologies. By quantifying the ability of bipartite networks to represent data we were able to define connectivity efficiency, which is a measure of how economic the use of connections is within a network with respect to data representation and generation. We postulated that it may be desirable for an organism to maximize its gene expression range per network edge, since development of a regulatory connection may have some evolutionary cost. We found that the transcriptional regulatory networks of both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli lie close to their respective connectivity efficiency maxima, suggesting that connectivity efficiency may have some evolutionary influence.

Molecular dynamics simulations are presented for a Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase I complex (consisting of the protein, the primer-template DNA strands, and the incoming nucleotide) subjected to external forces. The results obtained with a force applied to the DNA template strand provide insights into the effect of the tension on the activity of the enzyme. At forces below 30pN a local model based on the parameters determined from the simulations, including the restricted motion of the DNA bases at the active site, yields a replication rate dependence on force in agreement with experiment. Simulations above 40pN reveal large conformational changes in the enzyme-bound DNA that may have a role in the force-induced exonucleolysis observed experimentally.

Planning row as Melbourne's newest city suburb flagged; Concerns as police trial wearable surveillance camera
June 08, 2012 , 11:51 AM by Mary Bolling
As the City of Port Phillip announces plans for the development of Melbourne's newest inner city suburb, "Montague", host Jon Faine presses Victorian Planning Minister Mathew Guy for details of the New York-style concept, and of new planning guidelines aimed at cutting red tape. Mr Guy says "we are very keen to ensure this works and that the system has greater clarity on the rules and the details".
But does Melbourne really need another inner city suburb? Jon is critical as he compares the plan to previous developments at Docklands. Mr Guy responds saying "I support and like Docklands - it is a work in progress, and in 2020 Bourke and Collins (streets) will be the place to be". He also defends himself against Jon's suggestion he's the "minister for developers" - he says he's given back mandatory control to key councils in their planning disputes, to give greater say to the community.
Opposition spokesman Brian Tee is not so sure, saying the easing of planning restrictions is "an attack on the character of our suburbs", and "you end up with a Docklands type development with the charm of the neighbourhood being lost".
Also in the news, trials are underway for Victoria Police members to wear surveillance cameras attached to their uniforms. Past president of Liberty Victoria, Michael Pearce is concerned about privacy - he says privacy laws are too weak, and the trial should be delayed until personal privacy has greater protection. Callers weigh in on the debate - many focused on how the measure could protect members of the public from abuse by police.

- Top Chef Nick: Oven Thief? Wed 10/9c
My strangest memory of working on this episode was meeting with Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni on set to let them know how our D-List production works. Since they were busy shooting Law & Order: SVU, it was important that our roving documentary-style cameras didn't distract from their usual paid gig. So, prior to shooting, my fellow executive producer, Lisa, and I drove out to their set in New Jersey and waited to meet with them in their producer's office. Now, understand, I am a huge Law & Order fan – and the signature "ching-ching" sound can pretty much be heard in my house at any time day or night since some form of L&O is always on the air on some channel 24/7. It's like Ryan Seacrest. It's everywhere. So, we're waiting to meet with Mariska and Chris, and they enter – in full costume, right down to their belts and firearms. Lisa and I do our usual explanation about how we'll just be a fly on the wall with our cameras, etc. Mariska and Chris start to lean in with fixed attention, fascinated by the low-budget process of our reality show and, as they ask questions, I begin to have my own private out-of-body experience. Somehow, I now feel like a suspect being interrogated by Benson and Stabler – and I have convinced myself that I must be guilty of something. I started to sweat, staring into Olivia Benson's probing eyes. Luckily, they were totally cool with us shooting and happily returned to set after 10 minutes of what seemed like a long interrogation in lock-up. If it had gone on any longer, I probably would have confessed to some brutal (albeit fictional) crime.
I have to spend a moment to describe Liza Minnelli's apartment. It's exactly like what you'd imagine. I mean exactly. It looks like Liza. Sleek, black and white, New York chic. Smooth, classic surfaces of marble and suede, generations of awards modestly placed everywhere and giant, black and white photos of her father from Meet Me In St. Louis and of Liza herself in Cabaret. And the view beyond the glossy grand piano is a city skyline that looks like a fake backdrop you'd see behind a Leno or Letterman set — but it's real.
Was the cast of SVU as nice and funny as they make themselves out to be...the episode was hiliarious as usual thanks to Ms. Kathy and her banter but I had the slighest tinge of disappointment that the cast members weren't appreciative of the Kathy spirit we know and love tell me I'm wrong!!!
I'm a HUGE fan of the show & was excited to see Kathy on the show. It was great. keep up the great work. =]

A Sinatra Christmas
"Las Vegas star Henry Prego, of "The Rat Pack Is Back" and London's West End Hit, "The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas", comes to the Encore Theatre this holiday season with an original holiday show, "A Sinatra Christmas". Appearing with Henry is Elijah Rock, a Film and Television star who sings Baritone/Tenor, plays guitar, keyboards, cello and is also a professional tap dancer. In addition the well known, very funny comedienne Frances Dilorinzo adds her talent to the mix of dancers and singing in a dazzling celebration of holiday cheer culminating into a Christmas special reminiscent of the glory days of our great American culture.
New Year's Eve with the Funniest Housewives
9PM to 12:30AM – Special Gourmet Dinner included with the Show. Bring in the new year laughing out loud with the celebrity comics!
Funniest Housewives of Orange County are a sizzling comedic sensation. Their styles are hilarious, diverse and witty! Their extraordinary ability to entertain and engage all types of audiences make them a must see stand-up comedy show! Their distinctly different personas stand strong on their own but together they are a force of nature. Get ready to get down and have fun with these fabulously funny femme fatales who DO IT STANDING UP!
STARRING: CINDY BURNS, the "Anti-Aging Housewife" and host of the show. Cindy is a 25 year old trapped in the body of a 55 year old. Trying to maintain a positive attitude you get the feeling she could snap at any time.
VICKI BARBOLAK, the "Trailer Trash Housewife". Vicki is proud she finally closed escrow…at the DMV!
KIRA SOLTANOVICH, the "Inappropriate Housewife". Her husband is Irish Catholic and she's Jewish. She agreed that after they got married, she'd convert to…Alcoholism!
JULIE KIDD, the "Dysfunctional Housewife". Julie is a single mom with three children who is too busy to cook. When she calls her kids to dinner, they run to the car!
FRANCES DILORINZO, the High-Strung Housewife. "I'm so excited! My YouTube video has been up for one year…and I've already had 26 hits!".
This very special show brings together the best and the brightest. Their resumes read like a "Who's Who" of comedy and they have appeared on Oprah, The Tonight Show, David Letterman and The View. The evening will be loaded with surprises and special SWAG GIVEAWAYS! This will be a New Year's to remember!
Grease the Musical
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding 'Burger Palace Boys' and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking 'Pink Ladies' in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head 'greaser' Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their 'Summer Nights' as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as 'Greased Lightnin", 'It's Raining on Prom Night', 'Alone at the Drive-In Movie' recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An 8-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals along with innumerable school and community productions place Grease among the world's most popular musicals.
2-Bit Palomino / Jesse MacLeod
2-Bit Palomino' is the 2011 and 2013 Texas Vocal Group of the Year. Over the past 3½ years, this trio of singer/songwriters have created quite a name for themselves having performed all over the country and at major events like The Kerrville Folk Festival and The WildFlower Festival in Texas. Bill Ward, Andi Renfree and Peter 'Ren' Renfree (a native of Tustin) are all excellent songwriters and artists in their own right, but when they get together they make magic happen. Their vocal harmonies are nothing short of amazing, and their songs are all well written and beautifully performed. 2-Bit Palomino will grace the stage of the Encore Theater with their special brand of music along with their special guest Jesse MacLeod.
Jesse MacLeod has been given the gift a naturally distinctive, soulful voice. Being the son of bluesman Doug MacLeod, the young singer/songwriter began absorbing the blues at a very young age. Also heavily influenced by contemporary folk artists such as Amos Lee and Ryan Adams, he has carved out a unique sound not often heard on records today. He has had the honor of receiving the award of Best Performer in the Westcoast Songwriters February 2009 Songwriter Competition in Hollywood and was a Top Three Male Finalist in the 2009 So Cal Music Live Competition. He has released two commercial recordings; In Between Homes (2010) and Red Flags (2012). "As The Summer Wanes" from the In Between Homes EP was featured on an episode of the second season of NBC's The Voice. This will be a night you will remember and one you won't want to miss!
The King And I
East versus West makes for a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplifting tale of enormous fascination. It is 1862 in Siam when an English widow, Anna Leonowens, and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as tutor to his many children and wives. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West, and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story. Along with the dazzling score, the incomparable Jerome Robbins ballet, 'The Small House of Uncle Thomas,' is one of the all-time marvels of the musical stage.
Legally Blonde
Harvard's beloved blonde takes the stage by pink storm in this fun, upbeat musical about self-discovery. Based on the adored movie, LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL stays true to form with a peppy score and playful book. This musical is ridiculously enjoyable from start to finish. Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside-down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her charm to get into Harvard Law. At school, she struggles with peers, professors, and Warner Huntington. With the help of Paulette and Emmett, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world. This musical is relatively new to the theatre world, catering to the present-day's generation and culture. LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL is perfect for high school and community theatre, featuring a large ensemble and several big song-and-dance numbers.
Lucy Seward, whose father is the doctor in charge of an English sanitorium, has been attacked by some mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, a sort of ghost that goes about at night sucking blood from its victims. The vampire is at last found to be a certain Count Dracula, whose ghost is at last laid to rest in a striking and novel manner. The play is intended for all who love thrills in the theater, and is appropriate for all groups.
It's A Wonderful Life
It's A Wonderful Life is a musical adaptation of Frank Capra's Christmas classic masterpiece film. This is the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been squashed by family obligations and civic duty, and whose gurdian angel has to descend on Christmas Eve to save him from despair, and to remind him – by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born – that he has had after all, a wonderful life.

This blog post is brought to you by the letter B.
My beloved league, Red Deer RollerDerby Association, hosted Operation Skate and Destroy over the last weekend. I had such an amazing time!
Here's a breakdown of my weekend:
Saturday – Bootcamp: 5 different coaches providing skill and skill building insights. RDRDA's own Team Canada skater TAZ started the morning off by kicking my ass with off-skate dynamic movements (and in the same manner destroyed my plan to "save" my legs for benchmarking the next day). I got some great pack skill and strategy techniques from Coach Lime, learned some interesting agility drills from Tye Die. Also had the privilege of learning the finer points of hitting and jamming from RDRDA's Hollywood Homicide and Razor.
Saturday evening – Nightshades Bout: Worked the door for the first half of the bout, but got to see how FAST the pack was moving to keep RDRDA Alum Spaz in check. RDRDA features some of the BEST blockers and it was amazing to see how good the Nightshades were able to control the pace of the bout in the 2nd half and come back to victory!
Sunday morning – Benchmarks: I had the most serious nerves. For those who don't know, benchmarking is a minimum skills assessment that basically ensures you're capable of playing the physically demanding sport of derby. Well – I did it! This was a HUGE milestone for me, and there are so many people whose efforts have helped me along the way to get to this point. I won't list them all, but pretty much anyone who as seen me on skates has had a hand in both improving my skills and enabling me to skate.
Which brings me to the point of the whole weekend for me – my Bout:
I barely remember it. Super thanks to Anthony Canada (who shot the photo above) for creating a record of the fact that I actually played and didn't dream the whole thing up.
Monday – Bangover. Given I skated for HOURS and I was skating pretty hard throughout that time, it wasn't particularly surprising that I had a REALLY hard time walking the next day. Tendons in my knee were inflamed. Stairs were the enemy.
The point of this whole story is that I'm REALLY looking forward to doing it all again. E-Ville Beaver Bash, here I come!

JONES STUDIO® Plus Size Pleat Neck Top
Falls nicely
I love the neckline and how the pleats fall to make it so feminine. There is double fabric in the front so there is no see through issues. The fabric is soft against you and falls perfectly (I am 5'8"). You can wear it out or tuck it in. Definitely a go to top for under a sweater. I bought one in black and one in white.
November 19, 2013
Love love love this piece!
I have 3 of these now, 2 black , 1 red. This is my favorite piece for layering and I wear them all the time. They look really nice and they're light enough to wear under my heaviest sweaters without adding bulk or heat.
November 16, 2013
Fits great and is very comfortable to wear. I got the same in green and wear it often for work. Comfort and Length are true to size, not as shows in overall rating.
November 5, 2013
I love this top!
I bought this top to wear under a blazer for work. Today I am wearing it with just a pair of white capris and it looks great. The material is so soft and comfortable. I would buy it in more colors if available.

El Gaucho Hospitality Now Proudly Employs 67 Sommeliers
"Wine and steak – a classic combination. It's no surprise that wine is an essential (and fun!) part of El Gaucho Hospitality's (EGH) business. We love being a catalyst for connections and educating our guests, whether it's introducing a new wine, or recommending a winery to visit. Staying on top of the ever changing world of wine can be a challenge, and it takes continual dedication and focus to be a great wine resource.".

Artist Feature of the Month –
Meet El Gaucho Tacoma Musician
Sandy Harvey
"Sandy's life would make the perfect script for a movie. Born in Tacoma as the youngest of 6 children, music played a big role in his life from the start. Both of his parents enjoyed a variety of music and encouraged their children to play. His older brothers were in bands in high school, and his parents allowed "band" practice in their living room. They'd push all of the furniture to the sides and even bring in a drum set. "I was too young to play at the time, and was upset because we only had one TV in the house – in the living room".

El Gaucho Hospitality visits Col Solare Winery on Red Mountain
"Over forty El Gaucho Hospitality employees were graciously invited to the 40-acre estate last Monday to see first-hand the beautiful facilities, learn more about the special wine-making techniques, and understand the fascinating Red Mountain terroir. It was on the four-hour bus ride from Seattle to Benton City, WA, that the team learned El Gaucho Hospitality is the number one seller of Col Solare in the country..".

Employee Spotlight – Enrique Veliz, Our Own True Gaucho
"Enrique Veliz, a busser and expo at El Gaucho Bellevue, could be considered a modern-day Gaucho. He hails from Trenque Lauquen (translates to "Round Lake"), population 15,000 and 350 miles west of Buenos Aires in Argentina, which borders on the Pampas. While a horse is not his first mode of transportation, nor does he inhabit the open plain and wrangle cattle, today's Gaucho is more a feeling than a way of life.".

El Gaucho – A Steakhouse that's Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly!
"We realize that, if you are a vegetarian or vegan, an old-school, classic steakhouse is probably not going to be your first choice as a place to dine. A steakhouse is a place you go when there's the obligatory business, family, or social engagement, where you "make the sacrifice" to go, but come away hungry, or are relegated to order multiple side dishes until you are satiated..

Artist Feature of the Month –
Meet El Gaucho Seattle Pianist
Daniel Davison
"Start the magic," were the three words El Gaucho owner Paul Mackay would say to cue pianist Daniel Davison to play when the restaurant doors were about to open for the night. Paul's vision for El Gaucho's "dinner as theater" concept clearly meant that ambiance was a key ingredient to the meal, and setting the tone meant live music: so much so that the third employee hired – only after himself and Executive Chef Ken Sharp – was pianist Daniel Davison. That was December 1996, and Daniel still plays Tuesday through Saturday every week at El Gaucho Seattle..

Catch the Northwest Distillery Spirit!
"There are so many reasons to love living in the Pacific Northwest: we're coming off of one of the most incredible summers on record since the 1950s; the Seahawks, and local university football teams (Huskies, Cougs, Ducks, AND Beavs), are all off to respectable, if not killer, season starts; and if you love a perfectly crafted beverage made locally, your choices are exceedingly increasing.

Wine Feature – Bodega Catena Zapata
"El Gaucho steak and Argentine wine – these two were meant to be together. Because of our brand's namesake, we have always had an affinity for things from Argentina, including our cooking style over the open flame and, of course, wines. If you are a wine lover, then you're probably familiar with Mendoza, Argentina, and then you've probably heard of Catena wines. Their family history reads like a classic novel, a sort of South American version of "Gone with The Wind".

Campus Evacuation
The evacuation of all or part of the campus will be announced and depending upon circumstances, directed by emergency personnel, Campus Security, Facilities Services or administrators. All persons may be asked to immediately vacate the site in question and persons may be directed to relocate at a specific site. For a non-fire evacuation, take wallets, purses, book bags, jackets, etc., with you.
One of the instructions you may be given in an emergency where hazardous materials may have been released into the atmosphere is to "shelter-in-place". This is a precaution aimed to keep you safe while remaining indoors. (This is not he same thing as going to a shelter in case of a storm). Shelter-in-place means selecting a small interior room with no or few windows, and taking refuge there.
Depending on the type of emergency and directives received from authorities and emergency personnel, the following options are available:
Following "reverse evacuation procedures", all students, faculty, and staff should go inside a building.
Monitor television, radio, and other forms of electronic communication for information regarding the threat/emergency and follow official emergency response directions. Close windows, secure doors, and apply duct tape if advised to do so.

PHOENIX — An Arizona sheriff known nationally for his hardline stance on illegal immigration is expected to take the witness stand Tuesday and face allegations that his trademark immigration sweeps amounted to racial profiling against Hispanics.
Lawyers who say that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office disproportionately singled out Latinos in the patrols accused him of launching some sweeps based on emails and letters that don't allege crimes, but complain only that "dark-skinned people" are congregating in a given area or speaking Spanish.
A group of Latinos who say they have been discriminated against filed the civil lawsuit against the sheriff, who makes jail inmates sleep in tents and wrote an autobiography titled "America's Toughest Sheriff."
Arpaio has long denied racial profiling allegations. He declined to comment Monday through a spokesman.
During the sweeps that are at the center of the case, sheriff's deputies flood an area of a city — in some cases, heavily Latino areas — over several days to seek out traffic violators and arrest other offenders.
Illegal immigrants accounted for 57 percent of the 1,500 people arrested in the 20 sweeps conducted by Arpaio's office since January 2008, according to figures provided by the sheriff's department, which hasn't conducted any such patrols since October.
The plaintiffs aren't seeking money in the suit. They are seeking a declaration that Arpaio's office racially profiles Latinos and an order requiring policy changes.
If Arpaio loses the case, he won't face jail time or fines.
The trial began last week and is expected to close next week. It will be decided by U.S. District Judge Murray Snow.
The judge hasn't ruled on the ultimate question of racial profiling, but said in a December ruling that a fact finder could interpret some of Arpaio's public statements as endorsements of racial profiling.
The lawsuit marks the first case in which the sheriff's office has been accused of systematic racial profiling and will serve as a precursor for a similar yet broader civil rights lawsuit filed against Arpaio in May by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The plaintiffs say deputies conducting Arpaio's sweeps pulled over Hispanics without probable cause, making the stops only to inquire about the immigration status of the people in the vehicles.
The sheriff maintains that people are stopped only if authorities have probable cause to believe they have committed crimes and that deputies later find many of the people stopped are illegal immigrants.
Plaintiff's lawyers say Arpaio endorsed calls for racial profiling with the sweeps by passing along the ambiguous and racially charged complaint letters to aides who planned his immigration enforcement efforts and carried out at least three patrols after receiving the letters.
They also point out that Arpaio wrote thank-you notes to some who sent complaints.
Arpaio's attorneys denied that the letters and emails prompted the sheriff to launch the patrols with a discriminatory motive. His lawyers called the complaints racially insensitive and said aides to the sheriff — not Arpaio himself — decided where to conduct the patrols. They also said there was nothing wrong with the thank-you notes.
"He sends thank-you letters because he is an elected official," Tim Casey, the lawyer leading Arpaio's defense, said during opening arguments.
In an August 2008 letter, a woman wrote about a Sun City restaurant: "From the staff at the register to the staff back in the kitchen area, all I heard was Spanish — except when they haltingly spoke to a customer." The letter ended with a suggestion that the sheriff investigate.

IT Notes from the Powertoe – Tome Tanasovski
I have been playing a lot with Splunk recently. If you're not familiar with the product, it is a horizontally scalable database that leverages map-reduce to give you real-time analytics about your data. That's probably a topic for another day, but the relevant part is that they have an agent that can run on a Windows desktop called the Universal Forwarder. They also have a PowerShell SDK that lets you send data to Splunk via PowerShell. Again, the details about these topics should be saved for another day. The topic for today is that in order to send data from my system with any regularity I encounter a fairly known problem with PowerShell performance: Starting powershell.exe takes longer-than-I'd-like time and it incurs a bit of a CPU hit. Both of which are unacceptable to me if I'm going to run these scripts on every desktop in my enterprise. This is especially true when you consider that a good proportion of those will be virtual desktops that are sharing CPU with each other.
I've been thinking about this problem a lot, and I have a trimmed-down script-only version of my proposed solution. The technique is not that hard to follow. The first step is to create a PowerShell script that will run indefinitely. The script has the following requirements:
The end result is a script called longrunnings.ps1 (for lack of any thought put into the name) that looks like this:
param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)] [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType Container})] [string] $QueueDirectory, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType Leaf})] [string] $InitializationScript, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [int] $SleepSeconds = 15 ) if ($InitializationScript) { Write-Verbose "Dot sourcing $InitializationScript" . $InitializationScript } Write-Verbose "Capturing the list of variables in the session so they are not removed between executions" $vars = dir variable: |select -ExpandProperty name # There's a few variables that get set in this script, and a few others that will be seen when called as a script $vars += ('args','input','MyInvocation','PSBoundParameters','PSDebugContext','file','vars','files','foreach') # Enter the infinite loop while ($true) { $files = dir $QueueDirectory -file -Filter *.ps1 |sort lastwritetime if ($files) { foreach ($file in $files) { Write-Verbose ('Reading {0}' -f $file.fullname) $content = [System.IO.File]::OpenText($file.fullname).ReadToEnd() Write-Verbose ('Executing {0}' -f $file.fullname) Invoke-Expression $content } $newvars = dir variable: |select -ExpandProperty name foreach ($var in $newvars) { if ($vars -notcontains $var) { Write-Verbose ('Removing ${0}' -f $var) Remove-Variable $var } } Write-Verbose 'Garbage Collection' [gc]::Collect() Write-Verbose ('Deleting {0}' -f $file.fullname) del $file.fullname } else { sleep $SleepSeconds } }
Here's an export of the schtasks xml I am using to ensure that it runs constantly. I even have it set to restart every 24 hours, but that may not be necessary.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <Task version="1.2" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task"> <RegistrationInfo> <Date>2012-06-25T16:30:49.0052527</Date> <Author>TOENUFF\Administrator</Author> </RegistrationInfo> <Triggers> <CalendarTrigger> <Repetition> <Interval>PT5M</Interval> <StopAtDurationEnd>false</StopAtDurationEnd> </Repetition> <StartBoundary>2012-06-25T16:26:37.0340001</StartBoundary> <ExecutionTimeLimit>P1D</ExecutionTimeLimit> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <ScheduleByDay> <DaysInterval>1</DaysInterval> </ScheduleByDay> </CalendarTrigger> </Triggers> <Principals> <Principal id="Author"> <UserId>TOENUFF\Administrator</UserId> <LogonType>S4U</LogonType> <RunLevel>HighestAvailable</RunLevel> </Principal> </Principals> <Settings> <MultipleInstancesPolicy>IgnoreNew</MultipleInstancesPolicy> <DisallowStartIfOnBatteries>false</DisallowStartIfOnBatteries> <StopIfGoingOnBatteries>true</StopIfGoingOnBatteries> <AllowHardTerminate>true</AllowHardTerminate> <StartWhenAvailable>false</StartWhenAvailable> <RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable>false</RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable> <IdleSettings> <StopOnIdleEnd>true</StopOnIdleEnd> <RestartOnIdle>false</RestartOnIdle> </IdleSettings> <AllowStartOnDemand>true</AllowStartOnDemand> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Hidden>false</Hidden> <RunOnlyIfIdle>false</RunOnlyIfIdle> <WakeToRun>false</WakeToRun> <ExecutionTimeLimit>PT0S</ExecutionTimeLimit> <Priority>7</Priority> <RestartOnFailure> <Interval>PT15M</Interval> <Count>4</Count> </RestartOnFailure> </Settings> <Actions Context="Author"> <Exec> <Command>powershell.exe</Command> <Arguments>-windowstyle hidden -file D:\DropBox\scripts\longrunning\longrunning.ps1 -queuedirectory d:\dropbox\scripts\longrunning\queue -InitializationScript d:\DropBox\scripts\longrunning\init.ps1</Arguments> </Exec> </Actions> </Task>
You can load the above by running
schtasks /create /xml d:\pathtoabovexml.xml
Finally, to control when things are run, we obviously cannot rely on PowerShell because we'll be introducing the overhead we are trying to avoid. Instead you can use schtasks again to copy your scripts into the queue directory at the intervals you expect them to run. Mind you, this does not ensure that the script runs at the specified time. It only ensures that it is scheduled to run. Alternatively, you could copy files directly into the directory from some remote server that controls what is run, but for my purposes the schtasks solution is fine.
I mentioned at the beginning of this post that this is a script-only interpretation of my solution. I originally wanted to create this as a C# compiled service that created a PowerShell runspace and managed it nearly exactly the way I'm doing it in the script. The truth is that so far the technique I'm using seems to be extremely reliable. I'm sure I'll hit snags along the way, but for now the technique is sound and the problem is solved. Whether I'll propose this as a production solution is TBD, but I'm happy to see my dream realized.

Thermo Scientific Pierce Fluoraldehyde Crystals are o-phthalaldehyde (OPA), a highly sensitive fluorescent derivatization reagent for peptide or amino acid detection and quantitation in HPLC.
Fluoraldehyde Crystals are a specially purified, fluorogenic-grade preparation of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA). This amine-reactive compound is primarily used for high-sensitivity, fluorescent detection of primary amines, including amino acids, peptides, proteins and polyamines in pre- or post-column chromatographic effluents.
For even greater sensitivity, use a combination of OPA and Fmoc-Chloride with automated pre-column derivatization to detect both primary and secondary amines. With this application, primary amino acids are first derivatized with OPA and then remaining secondary amino acids are reacted with Fmoc-Chloride, resulting in extraordinary amino acid detection sensitivity and accuracy (see Lindroth and Mopper, 1979; Lee and Drescher, 1979).

Windows 8 - LAN Setting - Proxy Server
Likes # 0
Posted March 6, 2013 at 9:45AM
Only over the last few days (i.e. not before) I have discovered that the LAN Settings box for "Use a Proxy Server" keeps being automatically set which I do not want as this prevents access via Citrix. When I unset this box Citirx works fine until the next time that Windows 8 is loaded.
The machine is an ASUS Vivotab PC.
Some ideas how to get this setting to be permanent?

If use a proxy server keeps getting ticked you probably have a virus.
Give MalwareBytes or Hitmanpro a run to see what they find.
If it is a Virus you probably will not be able to download them or update your own security programs.

Tools.Internet Options.Connections.Never dial a connection should be dotted.Then Click on Lan Settings.
Click on automatically detect settings.And proxy server underneath should be unticked.Then press ok.

Thanks Jock1e. No obvious signs of a virus. I use AVG and have downloaded (just now) Superantispyware which downloaded fine and run finding only tracking cookies.
Also downloaded and run Hitmanpro, which found nothing.

That is one place where the Virus's hide but if none of your security programs are finding anything it must be Ok.
Not sure why proxy server keeps getting re ticked.Was never dial a connection already dotted or did you have to dot it and press apply Ok.
Not sure if there should be anything on the square box sometimes you get a dial up connection on that but if you don't use dial up you can clear the connection in the box.

A young man comes home from the armed forces on leave for the first time, and his dad takes him out for a beer. When they get their beers, his dad asks him, "So son, how do you like the army so far?" "Pretty good, dad," the son replies, "but I had a strange experience the other day during parachute jump training." "What happened?" asked his dad. "Well, we were up about 5000 feet, I was last in line, and when we got the green light, everyone jumped except me. I froze up in the door. The jumpmaster was about 6'7", 250-lbs, and gay. He said if I didn't jump, he was going to take me into the back of the plane and fuck me up the ass!" "Well, did you jump?" asked his dad. The son replied, "A little bit, at first." |

INTERVIEW: HOK's Bill Odell on the Design of Saudi Arabia's KAUST University, the World's Largest LEED Platinum Project
This interview was first published in November, 2011
Opened late 2009, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia, has come to be Saudi Arabia's first LEED certified project and the world's largest LEED Platinum project. Designed by HOK, the university is a super sustainable learning institution dedicated to advancing science and technology with a fellowship program that provides full tuition to both male and female graduate and doctorate students. The campus was designed as part of a larger master plan (also designed by HOK) to support a new town of 12,000 people living in over 6.5 million sqf on a 3,200 acre space along the Red Sea. Sited in an environment facing extraordinary challenges, including an extremely hot, humid climate, HOK was asked to create a low-energy, sustainable project that would also provide the necessary facilities to support cutting edge research and education, and a comfortable place to live. What resulted was a spectacular campus, that while modern in design, also draws deeply upon the traditional architecture of Saudi Arabia to minimize its energy needs. Structured like a traditional Arabic city, the campus is compressed to minimize the amount of exterior envelope exposed to the sun and reduce outdoor walking distances. The project also utilizes everything from passively cooled circulation thoroughfares, solar towers, traditional Arabic 'mashrabiya' screens, water reclamation able to capture 100% of the wastewater, and more. We recently sat down with HOK's Bill Odell, architect and Director of HOK's Science & Technology group, to talk about the design of KAUST. Read on for Bill's fascinating story on how he and his global team at HOK were able to construct this top-notch, high-tech institution, and how the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) helped them turn out the world's biggest sustainable project in just 28 months.

INTERVIEW: HOK's Yann Weymouth Discusses Designing the Hurricane-Resistant Salvador Dalí Museum
Earlier this year we reported on the opening of the stunning Salvador Dalí Museum located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The museum is home to the world's largest collection of Dalí works, and since its debut this past April, the dazzling venue has already welcomed over 300,000 visitors. With its clean minimalist lines juxtaposed against a sparkling geodesic glass atrium, the spectacular structure designed by HOK stands as a work of art in its own right, while still paying homage to the spirit of Salvador Dalí. The building also brings more to the table than just its looks. Housing over 2,000 pieces of Dalí's most important works, the museum is sited within a corner of the country that often finds itself battered by severe storms with catastrophic results. To prepare for the worst, HOK designed the shell of the structure to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. The design also features numerous green systems, including a solar hot water powered dehumidification system, high efficiency HVAC and ventilation systems, and strategic daylighting to illuminate the interiors. We recently sat down with principal architect and Senior Vice President of HOK Yann Weymouth who enlightened us on the intricacies of the design, and what it took to get the museum built. Jump ahead for our exclusive interview with Yann as he explains the design, and how his team of architects and engineers used Building Information Modeling to build a space that's not only beautiful and sustainable, but disaster-proof.

Overall very well run hotel compared to most! And the pool provides a bonus if you will, especially for the rates that they charge.

Saturday - July 1, 2006, 01:54 AM - Misc. Computing
At work today there was a bit of debate as to which compression method was best. I personally did not have a preference in the discussion but my curiosity was ignited. I decided to do a little test to see which method was the best. I fired up 7Zip and Win Rar to duke it out. Here are the results, taken directly from a command window.
100 Power Point template files, these are pretty big files with images inside.
Powerpoint Tmpl 100 File(s) 7,481,344 bytes
4,454,809 Powerpoint Tmpl.7z
4,926,588 Powerpoint Tmpl.rar
4,948,264 Powerpoint Tmpl.zip
Best Compression: 7 Zip 59.55% of the original size.
Now how about plain old text files, I grabbed 100 RFCs and zipped them up.
rfc (text) 100 File(s) 5,515,893 bytes
898,401 rfc (text).7z
1,068,499 rfc (text).rar
1,345,080 rfc (text).zip
Best Compression: 7 Zip 16.29% of the original size.
Now what about a distributed setup file, it already has some files compressed in to it. Behold windows media player 11 beta installation. This should be interesting...
wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe 1 File 24,070,456 bytes
24,030,963 wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.zip
24,070,547 wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.rar
24,312,838 wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.7z
Best Compression: Zip 99.83% of the original size.
The verdict, just as it has always been the best compression method depends on what you are compressing. Based on this simple test 7Zip seems to be great for just about anything, unless you are packaging a bunch of setup files in which case the Zip method seems best.
What makes this whole comparison even better is 7Zip is licenced under the GNU LGPL, which makes it easy to afford. Right now development is moving along nicely as evidenced by the 3 release versions (4.23-4.42) posted on the 7zip home page in the last year.

2013 Legislative Recap
Dear Border Industrial Association Members:
The 2013 New Mexico Legislative Session adjourned this past Saturday. The session was a very good one for our BIA membership, as we successfully achieved $3.8 million extra funds for improvements to the water/wastewater treatment system in Sunland Park/Santa Teresa.
Senator Papen elected Senate President Pro Tem
Senator Mary Kay Papen of Las Cruces was elected Senate Pro Tem of the NM Legislature by unanimous vote on Tuesday. The Pro Tem is one of the top two positions in the Senate and selects committee chairs. This is great news for the BIA, as Senator Papen has been a strong supporter of the border.
BIA Hosts Former Senator Pete Domenici to the Border
BIA Hosts Governor Susana Martinez in Santa Teresa
On September 19th, the BIA helped host Governor Susana Martinez's visit to the Santa Teresa Intermodal Park. Governor Martinez traveled to this region to announce the location of three new companies to Santa Teresa and the expansion of one existing Santa Teresa company. These companies are expected to create about 120 new direct jobs in New Mexico's border region.
BIA Hosts Finance Oversight Committee Hearings in Santa Teresa/Sunland Park
The BIA helped arrange and host the Finance Oversight Committee of the New Mexico Legislature, which held hearings in Santa Teresa and Sunland Park on July 24 and 25.

London – American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be appearing before the British public for the first time in London on the 19th of October to present a controversial new discovery: ancient confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to Atwill, that the New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ. His presentation will be part of a one-day symposium entitled "Covert Messiah" at Conway Hall in Holborn (full details can be found here).
Although to many scholars his theory seems outlandish, and is sure to upset some believers, Atwill regards his evidence as conclusive and is confident its acceptance is only a matter of time. "I present my work with some ambivalence, as I do not want to directly cause Christians any harm," he acknowledges, "but this is important for our culture.
Alert citizens need to know the truth about our past so we can understand how and why governments create false histories and false gods. They often do it to obtain a social order that is against the best interests of the common people." Atwill asserts that Christianity did not really begin as a religion, but a sophisticated government project, a kind of propaganda exercise used to pacify the subjects of the Roman Empire.
"Jewish sects in Palestine at the time, who were waiting for a prophesied warrior Messiah, were a constant source of violent insurrection during the first century," he explains. "When the Romans had exhausted conventional means of quashing rebellion, they switched to psychological warfare. They surmised that the way to stop the spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief system.
That's when the 'peaceful' Messiah story was invented. Instead of inspiring warfare, this Messiah urged turn-the-other-cheek pacifism and encouraged Jews to 'give onto Caesar' and pay their taxes to Rome." Was Jesus based on a real person from history? "The short answer is no," Atwill insists, "in fact he may be the only fictional character in literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources. Once those sources are all laid bare, there's simply nothing left."
Atwill's most intriguing discovery came to him while he was studying Wars of the Jews by Josephus [the only surviving first-person historical account of first-century Judea] alongside the New Testament. "I started to notice a sequence of parallels between the two texts," he recounts. "
Although it's been recognised by Christian scholars for centuries that the prophesies of Jesus appear to be fulfilled by what Josephus wrote about in the First Jewish-Roman war, I was seeing dozens more. What seems to have eluded many scholars is that the sequence of events and locations of Jesus ministry are more or less the same as the sequence of events and locations of the military campaign of [Emperor] Titus Flavius as described by Josephus. This is clear evidence of a deliberately constructed pattern. The biography of Jesus is actually constructed, tip to stern, on prior stories, but especially on the biography of a Roman Caesar."
How could this go unnoticed in the most scrutinised books of all time? "Many of the parallels are conceptual or poetic, so they aren't all immediately obvious. After all, the authors did not want the average believer to see what they were doing, but they did want the alert reader to see it. An educated Roman in the ruling class would probably have recognised the literary game being played." Atwill maintains he can demonstrate that "the Roman Caesars left us a kind of puzzle literature that was meant to be solved by future generations, and the solution to that puzzle is 'We invented Jesus Christ, and we're proud of it.'"
Is this the beginning of the end of Christianity? "Probably not," grants Atwill, "but what my work has done is give permission to many of those ready to leave the religion to make a clean break. We've got the evidence now to show exactly where the story of Jesus came from. Although Christianity can be a comfort to some, it can also be very damaging and repressive, an insidious form of mind control that has led to blind acceptance of serfdom, poverty, and war throughout history. To this day, especially in the United States, it is used to create support for war in the Middle East."
Atwill encourages skeptics to challenge him at Conway Hall, where after the presentations there is likely to be a lively Q&A session. Joining Mr.Atwill will be fellow scholar Kenneth Humphreys, author of the book Jesus Never Existed. Further information can be found here. Joseph Atwill is the author of the best-selling book Caesar's Messiah and its upcoming sequel The Single Strand.
Sloan BashinskyVery interesting, wonder if I will dream about this tonight?
Erika BiddleDid you see my email about story telling is Tomorrow not Sunday theme is "magic.."
- Today
Sloan BashinskyYes, will publish "magic" storytelling event at Jazz Bar in tomorrow's post – thanks.Been mulling the no such thing as Jesus book. First that came to me, I wondered if the author, like many people, never could come to terms with Jesus in the Gospels, for whatever reason, so went about in his own way eliminating Jesus from his spiritual equation, if he has a spiritual equation? Jesus in the Gospels is a very tough meal to swallow. Christendom had a very tough time swallowing that meal. So tough a time, that a magical salvation formula was invented to avoid having to eat that tough meal.Later today, I wondered about the ancient texts found in urns in the desert, Gnostic Gospels, other related writings, some written by people who apparently knew Jesus, or knew his disciples. One was supposedly written by Thomas. I wonder about the Shroud of Turin, which apparently is authentic. I wonder how did the Roman tricksters pulled the urns and the Shroud off? Elaine Pagel might wonder that, too. (not sure I spelled her name correctly)I wonder how the author, you, and lots of other people, would deal with what I deal with ongoing, if given that chance? I wonder if the author is a gung-ho hawk, backed G.W. Bush all the way, eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, which Jesus told his disciples to forgo, in favor of turning the other cheek, praying for and doing good to their enemies.If the Romans actually did what the author says they did, then it blew up in their faces when Christianity was declared the state religion of the Roman Empire. That was after the Romans fed Christians to lions and crucified them, because they would not renounce Jesus.Pretty darn hilarious, when all of that is mixed up together. I suppose if the angels don't chime in in my dreams tonight, they think about the same. If they chime in different, I will let you know.
Erika BiddleJenna Stauffer just called me about background pics for your interview. She wanted to use the black & whites from the Tskw show. I love the one you took of frisbee Dave at Higgs Beach too. Perhaps you'll send it to her. Xoe
- Today
Sloan BashinskyI will send her Frisbee Dave, and a few other photographs I have. Any you can send to Jenna, she will appreciate. She wants to interview Dave and John Benson at Comcast. I wrote about John today at gmkw.com. Another interesting homeless man, has lived at KOTS for 7 years.
- Friday
Erika BiddleI know John Benson. He would come to the Gardens Hotel and asked me if he could practice on the piano. He also was on the mayor's committee on homeless issues. Regarding Dave I have an idea. Will run it by you in person next week. Pretty busy with growinghopeinitiative.org at the moment.
- Today
Sloan BashinskyNary a peep out of the angels last night about Jesus being invented. They peeped about plenty of other stuff, though; kept waking me up throughout the night with their peeping.
Mayor's homeless tour, me in the middle, with beard and maybe the beginning of a pony tail. I went along after Mayor Cates tried to talk me out of being there. Just before this photo was taken, I introduced him to several homeless men, one of whom he had known growing up, a Key West Conch – seemed to rattle Mayor Cates' cage.
Sloan Bashinsky
I sent Jenna a link to this post. She was fun to be with, some of our off-camera conversation might have amused her viewing audience more than what will be aired

Hosts Eritrea beat Kenya 1-0 in the process picked Rwanda as their semi final opponents as the Cecafa Under-20 football tournament's preliminaries came to an end at the Asmara Stadium, in Eritrea on Monday.
Kenya who finished Group A in second place faces defending champions Uganda in the semi finals set for Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
Tanzania beat Sudan 1-0 in an earlier match but both teams join Somalia in going home early after failing to gunner enough points. Also going home early are Yemen and Zanzibar from Group B.
a waterlogged pitch
Against Kenya, Eritrea scored in the 58th minute through Meron Hebteslus who walked in the ball past Kenya second choice goalkeeper Musa Mohamed, who otherwise had a great afternoon.
The match was played, especially the second half, on a waterlogged pitch following heavy rains. They faired better in these conditions as their opponents were done by their insistence on playing ground football.
But the Kenyan coach, Vince Ombiji was not disturbed saying the defeat could be a blessing in disguise.
"If Eritrea plays well (against Rwanda) we shall beat them in the final," he told a post match press conference.
Optimistic that his side would make the final
"You can only win a tournament like this by beating the hosts and defending champions. We are faced by both and it is our plan to beat them both," he said.
He blamed his boys for not adopting properly to the pitch conditions. "They needed to push the ball harder but they did not and we lost," he said.
His Eritrean counterpart Negash Teklit said Rwanda, who are fielding an Under-17 side, may not be an easy meal. "No one expected them to reach this far. Now that they have, they may turn out to be problem," he said.
But he was optimistic that his side would make the final, predicting that Kenya would be their opponents, that far. "We played a determined game, knowing that Kenya was not going to be easy, and it worked," he said.

Hand-washing fragile stemware can result in one of the more frustrating kitchen mishaps: having it slip through soapy hands and chip or break on the hard surface of the sink. This rubber vessel provides a soft surface when that happens—allowing you to wash your pricey china without the potential for disaster.
Gadget name: Washing-Up Bowl
Price: $85
How it's supposed to work: The soft, rubbery basin is supposed to give breakables a soft landing spot while keeping them contained, keeping your fragile dishes out of danger.
How we tested it: We filled the 11-inch square vessel with warm, sudsy water and got busy, using the included beech-handled brush.
How it actually works: The bowl held four of our wineglasses at a time, or three larger pieces of stemware (such as margarita glasses or beer steins), and all fit easily in the 5½-inch-deep space. The folded-over rim provides extra cushioning in case of accidental bumps.
Good to know: This product is no one-trick pony: It can also serve as a wine chiller or a fruit bowl.
My favorite part: The bowl is dishwasher-safe, and at a mere 1.7 pounds, it's lightweight enough to take camping to serve as a portable sink.
Overall: This gadget is small and stylish, and it protects fragile glassware. The only problem? When it comes to protecting breakables, it doesn't do anything that an ordinary $5 plastic washtub can't do.

sucks that a thing like that happened to you, you got some serious patient my friend.
hope things will go smooth from now on.
good luck whit your new mobo, and i hope you gona like it.

Yeah I'd say ASUS is a solid product I'd say it's the best product I've seen that supports OC... but yeah other's don't seem to appreciate high quality xtreme-performance just because it's made in china...
For me it's impressive machines like Asus wins my vote for xtreme performance, but other's are skeptical because it's made in china... To win a crowd or to applease the people... I would think it's the xtreme-performance of the machine that counts high quality. But if people judge made in china it's like born in china... yet Yao Ming in NBA shows how Xtreme-Performance he was LOL
I would think a country that always pushed their athlete to xtreme-performance to win a gold medalists shows how Asus trys to push xtreme-performance over over-clocking experience satisfaction.
For me it's not where it came from but it's the quality of the machine or the product that represents the company. If you said that you've trusted ASUS brand and recommend your family and friends then it shows their previous product are quality product. It's the people that represented the product that makes it bad service or bad quality... And not the product... because of their belief system of made in china is a piece of loaded cheap crap etc... attitude... Because they never pass the made in china texts... they only judge people like judge the brand or made in china name... It's like judging people... You judge him just cos his black and the other is india etc... then people show they can discriminate made in products like made ethnicity in human race...
It's my explanation that prooves that we criticize from made in foreign country like ethnicity of foreign country, sexuallity of foreign body... LOL (my little lighten up kind of just kidding...)

Wow. That is a real fail from ASUS NL. So far I have had really good experience with the ASUS UK RMA and Customer Services. I hope ASUS HQ looks into the ASUS NL so that the level of standards of customer service is brought up to the same level as all the other branches to make sure that the service is homogeneous across all sites.
Hope you get the Sabertooth. You deserve it.
Asus NL?
Blame the coffee-shops.......
I had a import company in the past, and holy crap.. The NL was kinda "special" to deal with..
I think as I have suggested before, and this is not a situation unique to NL, Make 'WhoEver' sign the
'work order' of what was completed ... and tested ... be prepared to explain it .. or bye.
There is a world wide unemployment issue .. why is this a problem?
Nobody wants to be trained then to be an Asus Tech ? Or do away with it completely
and put in place a 'NO Excuses' Policy ... Ship a new one .. cut the loses, man power,
facilites ... excuses.
As to not being 'trusted' or whatever because it is made in China ??
Thats where the factories are .. no unions.
One day the 'BrotherHood' will revolt against that bloat.
The Market drives the Wage ... there ... as it should universally.
Nobody sells more motherboards worldWide than Asus, btw.
No offense to 'any' others opinion .. you are correct also, 'some'
are .. and always will be 'racist' .. not Globalist ....
It is also a whole 'New' concept to some ...
But not in here. thankfully.c.

Friedman Event
Amy Klaben, Jordan Finegold, David Lefton and Debbie Lefton.
Temple Beth Shalom presented A Tribute to Marilyn and Roger Friedman on May 1, with 240 people gathered at the Hyatt on Capitol Square. To honor the Friedmans for their service both to Temple Beth Shalom and the Central Ohio community, Carol Luper of WSYX served as emcee, OSU President Gordon Gee gave opening remarks, and Rabbi David Saperstein, director and counsel for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C., gave the keynote address. The event raised nearly $50,000 for youth education programs at the temple. Tickets were $100, with patrons giving up to $5,000 each. (Photography by Adam L. Inlander; photos and IDs courtesy Temple Beth Shalom.)
