My DH and I have recently been through a late miscarriage of our son through surrogacy. He was actually supposed to be born this week, April 27. So needless to say, this week has been particularly difficult.
Now on the positive note, we have matched with another GC. She is so sweet and just a real gem. LOVE HER! You can hear her excitement through her emails and text messages. We are tentatively transferring mid to late June. I'm trying soooo hard to get excited, but I am so terrified of being hurt again. I don't want to talk about this journey with anyone in fear of jinxing it. I don't want to allow myself to feel. It's not intentional, more of a survival mechanism. Has anyone ever felt this way? How do I overcome it? It actually took me weeks to post this message here. I finally built up the courage. I want to feel that excitement all over again and enjoy this journey, rather than live each day worrying!

Classic Car News
Homemade Countach for sale
Image: DaveCub29, 2010
Some people see a classic car and spend the rest of their lives lusting after it, some save up and actually buy the vehicle in question. But there is a third group that take a harder route still.
Ken Imhoff of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is part of it, since he chose to build his very own Lamborghini Countach in his garage.
Creating a replica is no simple task and it has taken Mr Imhoff over 17 years to complete his Countach.
He was inspired to take on the project by his father, who pointed out that it did not make sense to buy something when you could build it yourself.
The appearance of the Countach in the movie Cannonball Run was what ignited Mr Imhoff's passion for this particular supercar and he is actually now selling this project, after he actually had to knock down a wall of his garage to get it out.
The current bid is $75,000, but he clearly values his work highly, since there is a reserve of $115,000 on it and some way to go before this is met. Presumably, enough interest in this copycat classic will help Mr Imhoff fund his next project.

Sometimes I wish life could be run with a stopwatch that only I could control. Said stopwatch would also be able to return me to certain moments that did not end as well as they should have. I've never been one to live with regret, but sometimes I wish I could re-live moments and ensure that everything turns out okay.
I wish I could pause certain moments so I can clear my mind and escape from the complexities and frustrations that embed themselves in my web of life. It wouldn't really be life without the disheartening moments, but I just wish I could have a break from it all.

I feel a little swell of pride when I hear people talking about Korea, and I get a little defensive when that talk isn't good.
I'm not Korean. But I have just returned home after spending the last 41/2 years living and working in Korea teaching English, after graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Korea gave me a job, a half-decade of memories and, somehow, a Japanese fiancée. I have a lot of affection for the country and its people. But I'm sorry to say most people here aren't too interested in any of that. They look at me like I've done a gap year abroad a few times too many.
When I do answer questions about Korea, it's to confirm that I lived in South Korea, not in the one with that crazy guy with the funny haircut from the movie "Team America." Yes, they do eat dog; no, I haven't; and no, it doesn't bother me.
Many American impressions of Korea haven't outgrown "M• A• S• H." If you get beyond lame jokes and lazy stereotypes, you see that the southern half of the peninsula isn't living in the past at all. It's considered "the most wired country on Earth." The fastest Internet service in the world is available everywhere in the country. It is electronics years ahead of the Western market.
I'm not sure I'll see any spike in traffic, in spite of my blog being mentioned under the article, but any new visitors might want to check out the "Korean internet" category for some of the news and issues that informed the piece. Readers from Pittsburgh might also like to learn about the church in Seoul built to resemble PPG Place.
Approaching South Korea as a "digital future" is still problematic because, as I note:
[I]t's still unfair to treat the country relative to the United States, whether as a version of the past or a vision of the future. Even that seemingly complimentary image, in the way it turns up stateside with fantastic stories of all-in-one phones, robot teachers and Internet addiction, confirm the long-held stereotype of East Asia being a weird, exotic, very different place.
If you've watched the programs on CNN Asia or the Discovery Asia, especially before the 2008 Summer Olympics, you've seen the new sort of Orientalism that's cropped up, whereby you can't talk about that part of the world anymore without marvelling at its progress, sometimes out of respect but sometimes to implicitly question how those people could do so much. They're always narrated by some fresh-off-the-boat white guy mesmerized by the overuse of neon as much as by the handheld technology years ahead of what had always been accessible to the average American. That same sort of approach is found in recent pieces like CNN's about "weaning Koreans off their wired world" or BBC's asking "Can South Koreans survive without the web?"
I do think there is a genuine interest to learn how people live over there, and how we live when we make the move. Otherwise, the Post-Gazette wouldn't have run something like this. I joke that people ask if I lived in North or South Korea, and that people are surprised that they have running water and schools, but those are really the sort of reactions I get sometimes. A doctor I saw in the North Hills a couple of summers ago told me that Koreans lived in hovels. We joke about the rotten perceptions some people hold in Korea of our countries and our cultures, but you'll of course find those same distortions back here, too, and returning teachers might provide some fresh perspectives. I don't want to start talking about "correct" ideas, in the same condescending way some Koreans try to dictate how others see their country. I also don't want to have people think I'm some kind of authority because my name is in the paper, and that Korea is something that can be "figured out" or "opened," to use that very loaded word.
It's just a nice little story in the paper, by a guy who spent time in a place most people only see on maps. Hell, I even talk about bingbongs, so let's not take this all too seriously.

My old 60gb PS3 conked out last year. So I bought a slim, and obviously, got a free controller with it.
That controller remains unopened (I bought it on 23/12/2010) to this day, am I harming the battery by having it uncharged or even touched for so long?
I've been using my 3 year old dualshock 3 all this time which is only just starting to have a shortened battery span. Should I switch to the other one? Will I be shooting myself in the foot in the long run?
I always thought I could use this current (3yearsold) DS3 til its death then shift over to the new (1 year old but never used) one, but now I'm a bit worried.

If you plan on not using this dual shock controller for a while again, it's best to store it around 40% charge to maintain its longevity; leaving it for long periods of time at higher charges like 80 or 100% will reduce its capacity.
EDIT: Must circuits which utilise a lithium battery will detect when it has fully charged and cease charging to prevent over charging.

Surreal Lucellino Lamp
Filed under: Decor
Form and function are well-combined in this unusual Lucellino table lamp, since the light is just as useful as it is artistic. It pretty much goes without saying, however, that your appreciation for this particular piece will be proportional to your appreciation for surrealist art. The lamp is made from brass and plastic, with hand-finished goosefeather wings and a 50 watt non-halogen bulb. The wire-like mount is flexible, so you can situate the light exactly where you want it to be, though the designer recommends that the light be placed about 13" high. Price: $650.

A great lightweight shoe for narrow feet
By Gary
from St. Louis, MO
Best Uses
Comments about Montrail Rogue Fly Shoes for Men:
This is a terrific lightweight trail running shoe for those with narrow feet. I have a size 12 B foot on the Brannock device. This shoe fits me perfectly with no socks or a very lightweight sock. If I were to use a heavier sock I would need to go up a half to a full size. For those with hard to fit narrow feet, this shoe is superb. In the size 12, the pair weighs 19 oz, for those who will carry these in their packs.

Dolphins face tough task of out-scoring the high-octane Patriots - 0 Comments
DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins coaches didn't celebrate Sunday's dramatic 24-21 victory over Seattle for long. They had to turn the calendar. That means it's New England Patriots week, and time to go to work preparing to host the biggest game of the season.
New England (8-3), under the expert guidance of quarterback Tom Brady, leads the NFL in total offense (435.8 yards per game) and points per game (37), and ranks fourth in passing yards per game (292.1) and sixth in rushing yards per game (143.7).

Sarah Cafferkey's killer, Steven Hunter. Photo: Jason South
Steven James Hunter was a convicted murderer with a raging drug habit who was on parole for kidnapping a man and holding him hostage when he met Sarah Cafferkey.
Hunter sent Sarah a text message at 3.45am the next day which said, "I love you lots".
Sarah was a beautiful, funny, caring human being who was loved by everyone privileged to be a part of her life, according to her mum, Noelle Dickson.

Hunter, who was 46 with a long criminal history, had been introduced to 22-year-old Sarah through a network of friends in September last year.
Over the course of the next few months leading up to Sarah's murder, they became friends.
The friendship, according to Chief Crown prosecutor Gavin Silbert, SC, when outlining the case to Supreme Court Justice Kevin Bell, centred on partying together and with other friends. There was a strong drug connection between them.
Sarah Cafferkey.
Sarah, who had been studying social justice, would visit Hunter at his Simpson Street, Bacchus Marsh unit and the two would go out partying together. Both would use amphetamines and drink alcohol.
Sarah was generally aware that Hunter had a criminal record and had been in jail but it was unclear if she knew he had spent 13 years behind bars for murdering 18-year-old Jacqueline Mathews in 1986 after she rejected his sexual advances.
Hunter had lied to others about his murder conviction.

Mr Silbert said Hunter claimed he saw himself as a father figure to Sarah and had told friends he was not attracted to her.
Hunter had separated from his partner about the same time he met Sarah and had been upset by the break-up.
On Wednesday, November 7, Sarah and a girlfriend spent the night at Hunter's unit taking the drugs ice and GBH.
Sarah told her girlfriend she felt like she was "just a junkie".
Hunter sent Sarah a text message at 3.45am the next day which said, "I love you lots".
He continued to send her text messages throughout the afternoon and night.
He sent more text messages to Sarah on the Friday before she went to meet up with her ex-boyfriend to discuss the breakdown of their relationship. She left him on good terms about 10pm.
On Saturday, Hunter and Sarah exchanged text messages talking about catching up.
At 1.56pm, Sarah went to the Foodworks supermarket in Bennett Street, Bacchus Marsh, and bought some alcohol.
She went to Hunter's unit and they spent the afternoon together drinking alcohol and smoking methylamphetamine.
At some stage during the afternoon Hunter claimed he was cleaning his flat when he found a used syringe belonging to his former partner.
He made a disparaging remark about junkies which Sarah mistakenly believed was directed at her and the pair argued.
Sarah, believing Hunter had called her a junkie, hit him on the back as she stood near the kitchen bench.
As he turned around, Hunter overbalanced and fell on to the tiled floor. When he got up, Sarah hit him again.
Hunter claims he lost his temper and "snapped", attacking Sarah with a hammer and a knife. He was much bigger and stronger than Sarah and easily overpowered her before stabbing her 19 times.
It was likely Sarah lost consciousness and died soon after.
At the time the pair had been arguing, two young girls playing in the driveway near Hunter's unit heard a loud screaming noise and what sounded like pots and pans crashing to the ground.
Hunter left his unit with Sarah's body still lying in the kitchen.
The next day he sent a text message to Sarah's phone at 10.07am saying, "Hey ass bandit, just come to - Sue hung over. What you up to?"
Hunter then drove to a house in Point Cook before sending Sarah another message saying, "Hey you, it's me. Give me a call when you want to catch up."
At 1.36pm Hunter sent a final text message to Sarah saying, "Need my keys. Call me".
Police said the text messages were an attempt by Hunter to cover up what he had done.
Hunter returned to his unit on Monday, wrapped Sarah's body in a bag and put her in the boot of his car.
He drove to a friend's house at about 7.30pm and told him he had stuffed up and was in trouble.
Hunter told his friend he had a body in the car and had to get rid of it.
He claimed he was house-sitting and had a party when things went wrong and another friend had killed Sarah.
Hunter asked his friend if his family still had a property in the country because he wanted to bury the body there.
Hunter and his friend then left and bought food at McDonald's in Southbank.
Hunter told his friend he needed to do something quick as the body was beginning to smell.
They drove to a Bunnings store at Port Melbourne and Hunter asked his friend if he could borrow his boat to dispose of the body.
Hunter then bought a 20-litre container of hydrochloric acid, three bags of rapid set concrete, one bag of lime and one roll of black plastic.
They returned to the car park where Hunter told his friend, "Don't open the car. There's a body in there".
Hunter pleaded with his friend to help him but his friend refused.
Hunter drove to Point Cook and on Tuesday removed Sarah's body from the boot and took her into the garage.
He placed the body in a green wheelie bin and emptied the bags of concrete into the bin over the top of Sarah and mixed it with water.
Homicide squad detectives went to Hunter's unit on Saturday, November 17, with a search warrant and noticed someone had tried to clean the floors and walls.
Crime scene examiners found bloodstains on the sofa in the loungeroom, a leather jacket, a pair of gym dumbbells in the garage, two bar stools in the garage, a kitchen carving knife under a wooden cabinet in the bedroom, a pickaxe in the loungeroom and chair massaging device in the bedroom.
Police later went to the house in Point Cook where officers tracked down a decaying smell to the green wheelie bin inside the garage.
The wheelie bin was removed the next day and taken to the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine where a CT scan revealed Sarah's body encased in lime and concrete.
Hunter was arrested at a Hawthorn unit on Tuesday, November 20, and when asked by police if he knew why he was under arrest, Hunter replied, "Yes, murder".
His parole had ended just 10 days before he killed Sarah.

After Nano, Tata eyes another "home" run | ThinkChange India
After taking the automotive industry by storm with the launch of its small car Nano, Tata has set its eye on low-cost housing. Hours ago, Tata's housing division has announced a low cost housing project in Boisar, a suburb in Mumbai, that is aimed at allowing people in the lower income segment own a decent home for about Rs 3.9 lakh and Rs 6.7 lakh.
A snippet from Business Standard
Talking about the launch of 'Shubh Griha', Brotin Banerjee, managing director and CEO of Tata Housing said: "……Our study shows that around 48 per cent of the people in the lower segment are currently staying in rented accommodation. As a real estate company, we are sensitive to the need of providing this segment with their own home along with a community life, we believe in empowering them and giving them the pride of owing a house in a city like Mumbai."
No doubt this project is as ambitious as that of Nano. But after all the fanfare during its launch, the lower and lower-middle economic sections of India is still waiting to know Nano can actually deliver on its promise. That being the case, it would be too early to speculate on the success of 'Shubh Griha' project. So, for now, in spite of having initiated a series of highly successful social initiatives, and in spite of proven success in business, Tata's capability to combine both to improve the quality of life of the lower economic sections is yet to be established.

This is great ! I was going to post it but you beat me to it !! :) .
I think this will go will with their nano plan. Nanos will soon transform village life and make the rural population more mobile and hence being in industry and revenue. This will support their low budget housing plan.
Remains to be seen! :)I remember when Indica was released people (at least) around me were hardly impressed. But sure Tata made adjustments. But I wonder if the same can be done for a low-cost car as this. May be, may be not! But I like Tata's relentless pursuit to address the ambitions of the low and lower-middle class. It gets makes them more confident spenders and paves way for improvement in quality of life.
So long as we are wishing, I wish that the Nano fails and the housing project keeps the Tatas afloat :).
Linking the Nano to improved quality of life would be shortsighted in my view. As long as it replaces bigger/less-efficient cars/autos, it's alright, but the crying need of the hour, as detailed in http://ngopost.org/story.php?title=Not_just_the_Nano_---, is congestion-free, green modes of traveling - mass transport (buses/trains) and bicycles, not cars/autos.
Besides, anything that aggravates climate change hurts the poor the hardest, for a variety of reasons including the lack of access of the poor to medical care (for breathing-related diseases, for instance), the intensification of the already grave water crisis, the increase in the frequency & intensity of floods/droughts/storms through global warming, and many more.
Climate change: I sincerely suggest you watch the video "The great global warming swindle" with an open mind ...
About congestion...I don't think failure of nano is even going to stop roads from being more congested, let alone decongest roads. May be the use of Nano will increase the congestion rate so much that it will make the govt. sit up and take some concrete steps to decongest roads! :)
The only way is for the govt. start regulating traffic flow, and pave better roads, rip of encroachments. Curbing the availability of car, calling for minimal usage of personal transport in an country that is just big growth for the first time is simply ineffective.
Finally, is the per-passenger emission less for buses because they carry way too many people than they are supposed to carry? The article you seem to suggest that "Subsidising cars congests the roads, so subsidizing buses should decongest it". But it seems the article doesn't offer a credible reasoning that supports such a belief.
Thanks, I will.
The failure of Nano obviously won't clear the roads, but it surely will halt the slide from bad to hopeless!
When the vehicle population grows as fast it has for us (nearly 100% rise in 5 years), it's impossible for widened roads and fly overs to come to rescue you from grid locks. Far more efficient road space usage - as achieved using mass transport - is an inevitable requirement. Plus, you very well can put in place financial deterrents to check the rise of cars, provided there is political will/public pressure. May be, this would help: http://www.slideshare.net/das_gv/traffic-solution?type=presentation. I too request an open mind :). Btw, the words 'growth' and 'development' have been abused too often, starting from the NDA's 'India Shining' rhetoric. It has to be much more holistic than what the mainstream media makes us believe. More than half the Indians can't even dream about owning a 2-wheeler, let alone the so-called 'greatest Indian dream come true' - the Nano. Some of us had recently been to a day-long workshop on rural lives and livelihoods. It was quite startling. The urban slums may be only marginally better, sometimes worse.
Let the bus carry only 40-50 people. Even then, the per-passenger emissions would be easily 3-4 times less than the car, which, on an average, seats no more than one and a half people. It tallies with another important observation - the per person road space occupied by the bus is also less than 10-15% of a car. These may provide more concrete info:
So, in terms of both emissions and traffic, the bus is ahead by a mammoth margin. Not to mention, congestion, to which cars heavily contribute, amplifies the pollution and commute time of each vehicle significantly.
As stated on the earlier page, public apathy, esp. that of the well-to-do, is one of the factors behind the bus service being a little below the mark. There is plenty of constructive work happening here in B'lore on both the fronts - pushing the authorities on bus/cycle-friendly infrastructure and advocacy among the public.
Slideshare makes it really simple to understand! :)
I feel we should separate the two issues
1) Nano = Private initiative of a specific company
2) Congestion-free, green modes of traveling = public + Private initiative
@pulkit Quote "Let the bus carry only 40-50 people. Even then, the per-passenger emissions would be easily 3-4 times more than the car"
The situation in mumbai has gone one step further a bus can carry 50 passenger but it carries 80 . a local train carries 100 but carries 150-200 per compartment.
The bus stops at 10 stops,does not take short cuts and could take 1-2 hour to reach the destination which can be reached in 30 minutes. So the bus is for those who plan and have that extra one hour to spare or those who have a lot of time. Cant compare it to Bangalore as i do not know the situation but i feel Bangalore will reach the same situation in the coming years.
By mistake, I negatively rated this, and it doesn't allow me to undo it :).
Including the standing option, an average city bus should be able to accommodate 60-70 people safely, but as you rightly said, sometimes it spills over. Btw, I erroneously wrote "3-4 times more" earlier, instead of the obvious "less".
About commute time, yes, at present, it's a hassle with all road transport options, because of congestion. You are right about Bangalore also being gripped by grid locks too. But, as depicted by the excellent resources here: http://www.hasiruusiru.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=cate..., the solution is to embrace buses which will alleviate the traffic woes in a big way, bringing down the commute time drastically. I agree that it won't happen overnight, but given that, right now in peak time, a car takes about an hour to cover 15 kms (In B'lore), we have no choice but to switch to alternatives, of which buses - along with cycles, the metro (when ready) and the good-old walks [:)] (for short distances) - are an indispensable component.
Another disaster induced by the maddening road widening spree, which has clearly failed to cope up with the rise of private vehicles, is the loss of green cover. As per HasiruUsiru, the once-known-as garden city's tree strength has been reduced to just 30% of what it used to be 40 years back! The consequences of this extent of tree felling need not even be enlisted.
The only way to counter this is to have photographic evidence and video footage of the same. There needs to be a database of all the area photographed and then if someone removes trees the area needs to photographed again. A photo speaks a 1000 words ;)
Pics with tree cover are already available (I can dig out some if you wanna see, google earth is the best source to check Nanda Road/RV Road, which looks a green carpet from top.) We gotta give it our best try to save this green carpet. Later as a worst case, your suggestion can be considered.
ok so you edited your post compared to the one which reached my mail box :) .

Do you have google earth screen shots of the area where the trees were cut before the were cut? can you point on that screen shot which tree was cut?
I meant catch the culprits in the act with photographic evidence and video footage.Find out who is flaunting the law. over here most people cut trees and say it was dead due to the rains or it causes accidents (places in an accident spot near the road) etc
The initiative belongs to a private firm, but its implications hurt us all :). The problems are interconnected, and can't be viewed/solved in isolation. The connection between population and poverty is a case in point.
In most cities, the popular sentiment is to widen the roads. Any increase in private transport can only strengthen this sentiment, which the Nano will obviously contribute to. More the private transport, more the road space required.
I'm not sure if the law states that you cannot cut trees to widen the roads, but surely I have seen countless stay brought about by private land owners or atleast big protest (for Mumbai folks - think of Lata Mangeshkar and Poddar Road flyover).
When it comes to trees/parks authorities hardly have a hurdle. I have seen countless such incidents not just in Bangalore but even in smaller towns (very difficult to grab photo evidence here). The first thing that faces an axe is a poor tree.
The problem lies in sentiments of the people - "Cut a tree, but not my building". Of course its difficult to let go off your private property.
Now, the root of all these problems lies in shift towards private transport (including Nano). Each individual's choice of private transport will indirectly results in widening of roads some where else. If you are familiar with "Butterfly Effect" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect
So as Pulkit and Sejal say, Nano can only contribute more. People in Villages need access to safe water, clean sanitation, healthcare and basic-relevant education for transformation, not Nano.
Coming back to the original theme, "Tata's low cost housing", its great news. But really, the cost is reduced due to reduction in facilities and space that the other builders provide. Its just business as usual I feel - "you pay for what you get".
If we were to talk of social initiatives, I feel this is certainly one - http://www.indianexpress.com/news/new-start-500-mumbai-slumdwellers-get-...
If Tata were to really think of changing India, then they should focus on building the rural India to stop rural->urban migration that will stop the numerous problems that plague our cities. Indian population is huge and our city planning can't cope up with such volumes.
NREGA.NIC.IN is one of such initiatives by Central government. Rebuilding small towns, small cities, villages and stopping rural->urban migration is really not difficult, esp in today's small world connected heavily by internet and other communication technologies.

The Bruins scored two late goals to come from behind and beat the Flames, 2-1, Tuesday night in Calgary.
Danielle Paille is out with an upper-body injury, with no timetable for his return, according to the team.
Paille's injury is the latest in what's been a magnificent run of ailments for the B's. The team recalled forward Nick Johnson on Tuesday. Here's where the Bruins stand injury-wise:
The Bruins announced a pair of roster moves Tuesday, placing Loui Eriksson on injured reserve and recalling forward Nick Johnson from Providence on an emergency basis.
Toronto's Dion Phaneuf has been suspended two games for hitting Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller from behind late in the third period of Sunday night's 5-2 Bruins win.
Miller went face-first into the boards on the hit and looked shaken up as he left the ice. He is expected to play Tuesday night, though. Phaneuf had no suspension history prior to this.
Four players were missing from Monday's practice in Calgary due to the flu, according to the team. Zdeno Chara, Kevan Miller, Chad Johnson and Gregory Campbell were all absent.
Penguins forward James Neal was suspended five games by the league on Monday for delivering a knee to the head of Bruins forward Brad Marchand during Saturday's game at TD Garden.
According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf will have a disciplinary hearing with the league for his hit on Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller late in Sunday's game.
Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton is out for at least a week, Claude Julien told reporters after Sunday's game.
Hamilton left the Bruins' 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs in the first period following a hit along the boards. The injury is lower-body and Hamilton will fly to Boston Monday to be be evaluated.

We have a product which is using TUSB6250 as a bridge between USB and PATA.The firmware file is "v00.00.02.20.562AD403.Default.hex".Unfortunately, TUSB6250 seems not to recognize the 32GB SSD which we plan to use.Are there newer version of the firmware?I'd appreciate your help.
Tetsuo Maeda
We cannot duplicate this issue in the lab. Which PATA drive is being used?
Julie Nirchi
Hi, Julie,Thank you for your follow-up.The situation is as follows.Toshiba 40GB HDD : MK4050GAC => Our customer reports that the connection is unstable and that an error occurs sometimes. We have not generated the error in our lab.Super Talent SSD : FHM32GW25H => TUSB6250 seems not to recognize this SSD. We have confirmed the phenomena in our lab.I'd appreciate your response.Kind Regards,Tetsuo Maeda
Hello Tetsuo,
I was unable to purchase those specific SSDs, but I have ordered similar capacity SSDs. I will post test results after I have received them.
Hi Julie,
Thank you for your support.
There have been a progress.We tried to send a command that sets the SSD to mode0 before we start accessing it.Then, PC recognized the SSD and we can access it without problem.It seems that the issue might be the data transfer rate.
I think we have almost solved the problem regarding SuperTalent SSD.
On the other hand, the issue of Toshiba 40GB HDD (MK4050GAC) was not solved using the above procedure.
I'd appreciate it if you help us solve the issue regarding accessing MK4050GAC using TUSB6250.
I'm wondering what's the status of this. Is the reported disk still failing?
We bought a Trascend IDE SSD model TS32GSSD25-M (which was the only PATA SSD we were able to get) and it worked without problems.

Profiles of Historical Figures
Here's a list of some of the great leaders of our time, whose remarkable communication skills scored them a place in the history books. Each leader lived with a disability. Their unique combination of intelligences--strengths as well as weaknesses--made them such successful people.
George Washington
First president of the U.S. As a child, he was a very poor student who was probably dyslexic. Young George ignored his brother's suggestion he become a land surveyor and pursued a military and political career instead.
Nelson Rockefeller
Grandson of tycoon John D. Rockefeller, Nelson served as vice president under President Gerald Ford. This four-term governor of New York suffered from learning disabilities.
Winston Churchill
This brilliant soldier, statesman, and British prime minister is believed to have suffered from ADD and Bipolar Disorder.
Harry Stack Sullivan
An American psychiatrist renowned for his work on schizophrenia. Sullivan's struggles with his own behavioral disorders may have contributed to his insights as a psychiatrist.
Franklin Roosevelt
This former president who led America throughout the Depression and WWII coined the phrase:"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." He was a polio survivor who used a wheelchair during his four terms in the White House.
Harry Truman
President Truman's feisty personality gained him popularity and respect as a world leader who helped lead the Allies to victory in WWII. He had severe problems with his vision.

I am trying to start yet another offshore development company. I have couple of people (onshore) who might be generating leads for us and closing the sales.
Now the point is that these guys are not partners or co-founders. At this point of time they are just finding the clients for us. How do I decide their incentives? Do I give them a cut of the profit or revenue on the deal they get in? I am thinking of providing my sales guys a cut, because right now I am not in position to pay them anything.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Seven-year-old Jeanne Wakatsuki stands with her mother, Riku Wakatsuki, and sisters-in-law on a wharf in Long Beach, California, waving good-bye to her father as his fishing boat sails out with the sardine fleet. At the farthest point in sight, the boats turn around and sail back to the harbor. Jeanne's life is about to change irretrievably. The fishermen bring news that Pearl Harbor in Hawaii has been bombed by the Japanese.
That night, Ko Wakatsuki burns his heirloom Japanese flag and the documents he had brought to the United States when he moved from Japan thirty-five years ago. Two weeks later, two federal agents take him away. The family moves several times in subsequent weeks. In April, 1942, they are ordered to report to a Buddhist temple as a pickup point for what they have been told is resettlement. The bus ride that takes them into the California desert takes all day. Jeanne has never been out of the Los Angeles area before, and she finds the trip a grand adventure. Her older brothers and sisters are relieved to be away from the hostility directed at them by whites.
The family arrives at a camp of black barracks, hastily constructed in a desert wasteland north of Los Angeles, in the Owens Valley along the eastern Sierra Nevada. Sand is everywhere in and around the camp, Manzanar. Unlike many other Japanese American "evacuees," the Wakatsukis have at least managed to stay together as a family. They are assigned two units in...

Firefox 3 Release Candidate
The first release candidate of Firefox 3 sees the Mozilla developers well ahead of their original roadmap which envisaged a test version at the end of May.
Of course, this does not apply to Firefox development itself which is several months behind schedule. A release date for the final version of Firefox 3 has not yet been disclosed, but the fact that the browser has now reached the RC phase suggests June as a likely release date.
The release candidate is fairly close to the finished product with respect to functionality and performance, however, some plugin incompatibility can be expected, and various bugs still have to be fixed. Both of these factors are obstacles to production use. Linux users should also consider the fact that LC1 does not scale correctly at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and that graphical buttons may not be displayed. There is also some incompatibility to Nvida drivers and some X server versions which could cause incorrect image rendering.
The RC1 download is available in various languages, and for the Linux, Mac OS X and Windows operating systems. Bug reports are welcome.

Nowhere is forced health care a power enumerated by the Constitution
Roberts Rule of Odor
By Timothy Birdnow (Bio and Archives) Wednesday, July 4, 2012 Comments at bottom of page | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
In Roe v. Wade, Justice Harry Blackman, writing for the majority, made the following arguments in favor of the Constitutionally protected nature of abortion:
"The Constitution does not explicitly mention any right of privacy. In a line of decisions, however, going back perhaps as far as Union Pacific R. Co. v. Botsford, 141 U. S. 250, 251 (1891), the Court has recognized that a right of personal privacy, or a guarantee of certain areas or zones of privacy, does exist under the Constitution. In varying contexts, the Court or individual Justices have, indeed, found at least the roots of that right in the First Amendment; in the Fourth and Fifth Amendments; in the penumbras of the Bill of Rights; in the Ninth Amendment, id., at 486 (Goldberg, J., concurring); or in the concept of liberty guaranteed by the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment. These decisions make it clear that only personal rights that can be deemed "fundamental" or "implicit in the concept of ordered liberty," are included in this guarantee of personal privacy."
It was this paragraph that established the "right to privacy" that is at the core of the "right" to an abortion in the United States. Blackman and the other activist judges conveniently ignored the rights of the unborn child to his or her ultimate privacy, allowing others to invade the unborn child's home without a search warrant and to take that child's life. Blackman believed the State has more interest in the mother and whatever notions come into her head than in the child.
But this established a legal precedent, and it is now the law of the land that the citizenry have an inherent right to privacy that may not be easily taken from them by the Law.
If there is a Constitutional protection of privacy, does it not apply more to the Federal government than the individual states? Are the states restricted from making laws that are invasive of privacy but the Federal government is exempt?
What can be more private than a person's medical care?
There are laws - plenty of them - guaranteeing the right to medical privacy. Doctors may not divulge someone's medical history without express permission. And yet, according to John Roberts, they can be compelled to purchase health insurance or pay the government for the privilege of being alive in America and not purchasing this insurance. An army of IRS agents stands at the ready to enforce this, violating the fundamental privacy of those who do not wish to report their health status to the central politburo.
And don't think this will still guarantee a right to confidentiality between doctor and patient. It is a very small step between the right to force someone to buy insurance and to divulge information, a sort of "implied consent" reasoning that has been used to justify forced breathalyzer tests for drivers suspected of being intoxicated. It would be simple to argue that having health insurance - particularly the government run policies - grants implied consent.
Let us return to the Blackman decision in Roe:
"We note that those federal and state courts that have recently considered abortion law challenges have reached the same conclusion. A majority, in addition to the District Court in the present case, have held state laws unconstitutional, at least in part, because of vagueness or because of overbreadth and abridgment of rights."
Now I ask you, if state abortion laws may be struck down because of vagueness or overbreadth and abridgement of rights, why in the name of all that is holy did not John Roberts strike down the amorphous blob that is the Affordable Healthcare Act? It is vague, with much of the law hinging on "the discretion of the Director (of Health and Human Services). It is overbroad, forcing absolutely everyone into insurance deemed acceptable by the government. It is unquestionably an abridgement of rights.
The reality is that Justice Roberts has absolutely no justification for any of his arguments. He took it upon himself to find a way to alter the core principle in this law to declare it constitutional, changing it from an expression of the Commerce Clause (which was going too far even for the hard Left on the Court) to the power of taxation, yet he ignores the limitations imposed by the Constitution on direct taxation. He ignores a number of fundamental rights, too, such as the right to being secure in your papers and effects (fourth amendment), or the right to freedom of religion (Obamacare mandates fundamental violations of religious liberty such as forcing the Catholic Church to pay for contraception and abortion).
And of course this violates amendments nine and ten:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Nowhere is forced health care a power enumerated by the Constitution. If there is a right to privacy, that right has been taken by John Roberts and the others who voted in the majority opinion. That the power to tax is being used as justification of this egregious usurpation of liberty is illustrative of the inherent weakness of the majority position in this ruling.
Perhaps the most fundamental right, one so often overlooked by courts and politicians and even the People themselves, is the right to be left alone. America is supposed to be a place where a person can opt out of the system if he or she wishes. It is supposed to be a place where a person can hole up on his own property and not be compelled to interact with his fellows. The rights enjoyed by Americans stem from this fundamental assumption, that rights are not restrictions on people, nor do they offer any compulsion on anyone to be exercised, but are restrictions on government, on society. Harry Blackman got it wrong when he argued the right to privacy means the right to kill your unborn child, because that child has the same rights to be left alone. He or she is minding his or her own business, and someone comes along with a knife or vacuum hose and forcibly evicts the child. (You cannot evict a deadbeat tenant from an apartment without a legal writ, but you can an unborn child). The child's rights were violated, including the right to privacy held by said child. And, yes, the mother's rights are superseded here because it was her decision, her irresponsibility, that led to the unborn child taking up tenancy in her womb. In this instance she is indeed obligated, just as a guy who crashes his car into a neighbors house is obligated to make amends.
But if the right to privacy is applicable in abortion, how much more is it applicable here? Do we not have the right to live in America and not be hounded by an overbearing government that tells us we must purchase approved health insurance? Where does it stop? Health insurance today, energy taxes tomorrow, carbon taxes for our exhalations the day after, until we are all wrapped like moths in our collective cocoons, intimately bound with each-other and the State, which will not allow us to simply be left alone in any capacity.
Benito Mussolini coined a term for that, it was TOTALITARIANISM. He did not mean that as a pejorative, but rather he meant a society in which we were all bound intimately together by the State. That is where this will lead.
And let us not forget Amendment 8:
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
If I have to pay the government for not buying something, is this not a form of involuntary servitude? If I pay for the insurance, for that matter, against my will is it not likewise? It is rather like being forced to buy tires for a car I don't own. There used to be a word for this - racketeering. Criminals would sell you something - usually an insurance policy to protect you from them - and you purchased it or else. This is an enormous act of racketeering engineered by the full force of the United States government.
History will judge the Roberts rule of odor harshly, seeing it for the smelly dead fish that it is. If John Roberts did in fact succumb to some pressure he will be judged a coward, if to some inducement by the Obama Administration he will be known as a man of low character. If the latter, and it can be proven, he should be impeached and removed from the Court.
Law professor John Eastman thinks this is an atrocious decision and Roberts should resign.
I'm inclined to agree with him.

I think we're past the point of wanting movies to "stay true to comics/books etc". These characters need to develop in a way that the non-geeky, action loving audience can understand and grow to love. This is what the writers of The Wolverine understood and this is why it's a good movie.

In 1946, the Walker opened the Everyday Art Gallery – an educational resource featuring changing exhibitions of well-designed products. Foreshadowing the "good design" movement of the 1950's, it showcased the latest products of modern living, such as the revolutionary fiberglass seating of Charles and Ray Eames or finely crafted Scandinavian ceramics. Although materials and processes continue to evolve, the principles and spirit of the Everyday Art Gallery continue in the Walker Shop.
Curator of Design Andrew Blauvelt, co-curator of The Home Show (2000), an exhibition that looked back on Walker's Idea Houses and Everyday Art Gallery of the 1940's, believes the current Shop performs many of the same functions as the Gallery: linking visitors to the latest offerings and ideas in contemporary design. "Henry Ford once said that every object tells a story, if you know how to read it," says Blauvelt. "Unfortunately, in a marketplace awash in homogenous goods and bland visual merchandising, products are rendered mute. Places like the Walker Shop are valuable resources to find a world of truly interesting things – objects that speak volumes about their making and whose personality and character are as distinctive as our own."
The Walker Shop supports the mission of the Walker Art Center through the sale of merchandise from around the globe. It offers a unique assortment of award-winning contemporary home and office accessories; artisan jewelry; books about multidisciplinary contemporary art, design, and culture; creative toys; and exclusive Walker products, such as the Spoonbridge and Cherry snow dome, "Closed Monday" t-shirt, and a poster of Marc's The Large Blue Horses. All proceeds support the Walker's artistic and educational programs.

November 15, 2013 9:18 AMWhile moving can open up so many opportunities in life, the holiday season is probably one of the hardest periods of the year for making such a transition. Even if it's just the preparation for the move, the stress of it all can turn the best of us into the neighborhood Grinch.
First of all there's the uncomfortable feeling of being in the midst of boxes and clutter while everyone else is decorating and enjoying their cozy living spaces. Then, depending on which region of the country one lives in wintry conditions such as carrying and transporting everything under the threat of heavy wet snow, sleet, or freezing rain can be a logistical nightmare.
If such a predicament appears to be on the horizon here's a few tips for getting through your move and the holiday season in one piece.
RELATED: The Benefits of Moving During the Holidays
In general procrastination isn't a good thing, but in some cases it might be worth the risk. For instance, if a move is scheduled for before Christmas and New Year's then there's very little wiggle room for putting off packing. Everything has to be ready to go no matter what.
How to Convince Family and Friends to Help You Move

Give Plenty of Notice
Start reaching out a few weeks or even a month ahead of time if you know your moving date. This gives your family and friends a chance to put your move on their calendar.
Make it Fun
Turn moving day into a fun event with good music, food, and drinks. Free beer can be a great motivator for some. If you are having a few people over, consider making it a potluck!

October 18, 2013 8:35 AMMoving is always a hectic process, and it's usually not as easy as just packing all your possessions into a U-Haul and transferring them to your new place the very same day. Many people who find themselves needing extra space while they're in the process of moving turn to storage units.
Of course, the long rows of commercial storage units and variety of options can be daunting for someone who has never had to store their belongings during a move before. As long as you go in with a game plan, though, there's no reason to worry. Here are some tips to help you be a storage unit pro during your move.
RELATED ARTICLE: 10 Things to Look for in a Storage Unit
Figure out what you need from your storage unit. You shouldn't have to just pull your U-Haul over at the first storage unit business you can see from the highway. Do your research. First of all, you want a storage unit that will be in a convenient location when you move into your new place. Secondly, you need to know what size units are available, if they offer insurance, what kind of security they have, and whether or not they have climate-controlled units (if you have belongings that will be sensitive to climate change).

October 16, 2013 10:57 AMMoving at any stage can be a challenge, but when you add children into the mix, it becomes even more difficult. In addition to regular moving tasks, you also have to consider packing your child's books, toys, clothes, and other necessary items. You will also have to devise a plan to keep your children entertained and fed during the move and ensure that you get them enrolled in school and their normal activities. While it's a lot to take on, you and your children can move with ease by taking advantage of the following 10 tips.
#1. Enroll Your Child in School Prior to the Move
Contact the new school that your child will be attending and make sure that you have all necessary documentation sent to the school before the move including paperwork, immunization records, etc. You may also want to ask for a tour of the school so that your child can see the campus and meet his or her new teacher.
Bubblewatch: Should We Be Worried About Rising Home Prices?
October 2, 2013 10:36 AMHome prices are rising. Many people are excited about this—but might they be too excited?
In June, My Move gave a rundown of the possibility of a new housing bubble – the sort of rapid increase in home prices (and subsequent crash) that helped bring about the 2008 financial crisis. Economists, journalists, and realtors couldn't seem to agree: some said we already have a bubble, others said one could be on the horizon, and still others said fears were unfounded.
Four months later, there's still no consensus. But buyers and sellers should take note of some recent trends on both sides of the argument.
RELATED: Get a Quote from a Mover Near You Today
Last Saturday, Robert J. Shiller, Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale, chimed in with a piece in The New York Times. He says that the existence of a bubble can be determined by identifying "a self-reinforcing cycle of popular belief that prices can only go higher." To spot this mindset, Shiller and a colleague have been a conducting a yearly survey since 2003 to gauge the mentality of homebuyers in four housing markets.

Mahela creates Test history |
Thursday, 19 November 2009 | |
The Test series which began on the 16th of November against India in Ahmedabad, India, turned in favour of Sri Lanka.
Thilan Samarweera also added 70 runs to the Sri Lankan innings. Prassna Jayawardena 84 runs not out. The two Jayawardena's Mahela and Prasanna scored 216 runs for the 6th wicket, marking another record. This is Sri Lanka's best sixth-wicket partnership, since the 189 runs by Aravinda de Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga against Zimbabwe in Colombo in 1997. Mehela became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score 9000 Test runs and remains in the wicket. India in their first innings scored 426 runs for the loss of all wickets. Courtesy: lankapuvath.lk |
