Around 500 people gathered at the Countryside Banquets facility on March 7 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day for a good cause — the Cystic Fybrosis Foundation.
"Shamrockin for a Cure" was organized by Western Springs residents Kellene and Matt O'Connell, whose 4-year-old son Brady fights Cystic Fibrosis. This year's event featured an Irish-themed buffet, beer and wine, live and silent auctions, the Trinity Irish Dancers, bagpiper Dave Johnston and plenty of good cheer.
After all that excitement, guests hit the dance floor boogying to the sounds of 'Out for Hours."
Totals for the evening are anticipated to be around $122,000.
The event has grown from last year's small gathering at a local bar. "We are involved because the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation strategy has demonstrated proven results with a compelling strategy to get us across the finish line to save Brady's life," said Matt O'Connell.
"And our involvement strengthens every year due to the advancements in research and drug development as a result of our hard work to raise money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. As our event continues to grow, the timeline toward a cure is accelerated and it's very exciting to truly believe a cure is in sight. CFF, thanks to the amazing support of our family and friends, is helping add tomorrows for 30,000 CF patients and we are on our way to finding a cure for a life-threatening disease."

Once upon a time, people who craved a tablet computer bought an iPad.
But Apple faces its strongest slate of challengers this holiday season, with several tablets besting the trend-setting iPad on price and features.
There are still plenty of reasons to get an iPad – either the full-size iPad Air starting at $499 or the iPad Mini at $399. Versions of both are available for $100 less, but you get a slower device with a lower-resolution screen. The Air is lighter and thinner than previous full-size models, and it feels nice in your hands.
Whichever one you get for your loved one, the iPad offers this:
• An unmatched selection of high-quality apps, many of them adapted for the tablet's larger screen. Many apps for Android tablets are simply phone apps blown up, and the Windows app store has a smaller selection.
• A screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. That's the standard size for photos and older television shows, and it displays more content when Web surfing with the tablet held horizontally. That said, the wider aspect ratio found on Android and Windows tablets is better for widescreen video.
• Great syncing with other Apple devices, if the recipient of your gift has any. When setting up an Apple TV streaming device, for instance, you can simply place your iPad near it and bypass screens of prompts. Directions on the Mac's new Maps app can be sent to the iPad with two clicks. You can read and reply to iPhone texts from the iPad or a Mac.
But for a top-notch experience, you'll pay a top-notch price. That's where Android tablets come in.
You can get Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 for $120 less than the iPad Air, at $379. It's even lighter, by about 17 percent, though I couldn't feel much of a difference holding the two side by side. The Kindle's screen has a higher resolution, but the display measures just 8.9 inches diagonally compared with the Air's 9.7 inches.
For a smaller tablet, you can get a 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX or a 7-inch Google Nexus 7 for $229, or $170 less than the latest iPad Mini.
With the Mini, though, you get a larger screen, at 7.9 inches. LG Electronics' G Pad 8.3 offers an 8.3-inch screen for $350, or about $50 less than the Mini. Sync the G Pad with an Android phone to see who's calling on your tablet, though you still need the phone to answer it. You can read and reply to texts from the tablet, as long as they don't have photos or video attached. You're limited to one reply and can't initiate a text from the tablet, however. That's where iPads do better.
As for the Kindle, there's one important limitation. The Kindle runs a modified version of Android, and only a subset of Android apps works on it.
On the flip side, Amazon is alone in offering live tech support 24 hours a day, seven hours a week. Hit the "Mayday" button on an HDX, and a representative will appear in a video box within seconds. The representatives can only hear you and see what's on your screen. They can help guide you by placing orange markers on your screen or taking control of your device completely. This feature makes the Kindle excellent for your tech-challenged loved ones. Just train them to call Mayday – rather than you – every time the device's volume needs adjusting.
Owners of Samsung phones might prefer a companion tablet, such as the $550 Galaxy Note 10.1. Sporting a stylus and several note-taking features, the Note is good for those who handwrite a lot of notes. But beware: The tablet's text-recognition software makes plenty of mistakes.
Avid readers, meanwhile, might be drawn to an Arc tablet from e-book specialist Kobo. Prices range from $150 to $400 depending on screen size and quality. The home screen has quick access to books and recommendations. A reading mode blocks distractions such as notifications and sounds, while adjusting screen brightness. You can even turn Wi-Fi off completely in reading mode to avoid temptations to check email and Facebook.
Some Android tablets also address one of the iPad's major shortcomings: It's not meant for sharing. The Nexus, the G Pad and the Arc tablets are among those that let you create multiple profiles. The Nexus also lets you restrict what kids can do under their profiles, though that feature is rudimentary. (If you're shopping for a kid, check out our review of kid-focused tablets at http://bit.ly/JHMWeq.)
Beyond Android, you have plenty of Windows tablets to choose from, all with multi-user capabilities. The app selection is limited compared with iPads and most Android tablets. But Windows tablets are the only ones to offer a full version of Microsoft's Office software. It's free with tablets running a lightweight version of Windows 8.1 called RT. With iPads and Android tablets, you're limited to Web versions of Office.
Microsoft sells a 10.6-inch RT tablet, the Surface 2, for $449. For $130 more, you can get a keyboard cover with keys that move. A more powerful version, the Surface Pro 2, starts at $899. It runs a regular version of Windows 8.1, meaning it can run older Windows programs, not just ones designed for RT. Microsoft markets these as laptop replacements, and the cover has been redesigned such that it works better for typing on your lap.
A newcomer to tablets is Nokia, traditionally a phone maker. Nokia's first-ever tablet, the Lumia 2520, has a brightly colored plastic back that helps it stand out in a crowd.
It costs $499, the same as the iPad's starting price. But it comes with access to 4G LTE cellular networks, something that costs $130 more for iPads and $100 for the Kindle. That's something really useful for those away from Wi-Fi a lot. Data charges aren't included. Price reductions are available with service contracts or bundled with Nokia smartphones.

What a week we had here
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 03-06-2005 - 10:00am
On early Sunday morning last week Teryn got up with the stomach flu. She lost everything she tried to eat but was keeping some fluid down. I took her in to the ped on Monday because of a fever of 103.5. He said it was just the flu and to push fluids. Then on Tuesday poor Tj got sick too. For some reason he got a worse case. He couldn't keep anything down not even ice chips. I had to take him to the ped on Thursday morning. He was starting to dehydrate and was ruining a high fever. The ped told me to push any fluids we can get in him. The poor little guy even tried ice chips and popsicles but he keptnothing down. He had gone thru 7 diapers and clothes from the vomit and diararia in one hour. He got real lathargic and his eyes were sinking in his head. I called the ped back and ended up tking him to the er for ivs. Now there was only a time frame of 5 hours from the time he saw the ped and the time we took him to the er. He ended up having to stay at the hospital from THursday evening until Saturday morning. I never met so many dumb people in my life. Every different nurse that came into the er couldn't understand that he was speech delayed and having sensory problems. Each one came in and asked him series of questions. I finally told them he don't talk so please quit ansking him questions and ask me. They got rather nasty with me. Oh well no big deal to me. He was such a trooper. He ended up getting stuck twice for the lab work and have an iv messed with because he tried to pull it out. He ended up getting a total of 7 bags of fluid. He wsnt eating and barely drinking until they turned the iv volume down. Well Saturday morning we were diariah free and had not thrown up in 10 hours. They still dont know what caused all this. They originally thought he had roto virus but the test were negative. He is super happy to be home and is finally getting some energy back. The good news from all this is Tj has said a few more phrases and actually at somewhat the right time. He kept telling the nurses in the er "all done" and "bye bye see tomorrow" and finally told one of the nurses on the unit "bye bye love you"( this kinda made me mad that he told her that before me). So this has been the saga of the last week. Between the vomit. the poop, the laundry and 2 whining kids, I am glad it is a new week. It can only get better right? I hope he feels well enough to still see the neurologist. Thanks for letting me vent. I actaully felt like I was on vacation while he was in the hospital. He slept most of the time and dh had the three other kids. I think it may have been a wake up call for him. He now realizes how hard I work around here. He also got a little upset when one of the nurses in triage asked if there was any other problems with TJ( I had not mentiond his sensory or speech and developmental delays). I told her about the sensory problems and she said" are you sure he is not autisic, my son is and acts the same way( he didnot want to be touched at all). I said he has an appointment this week to rule out any other problems and she still said he reminds her of her autistic son. This was the first time dh has ever heard anyone make that kind of comment. He thinks I just make too much of things. Maybe this is going to turn him around-It doesnthurt to dream. He said he is going to the neuro with me and actually goning in to talk to the doctor! Thanks agian.
|Sun, 03-06-2005 - 6:08pm
Good gravy!
Oh my, Kathy!
I must say, you sound awfully calm for such a horrid time!
I'm so glad that TJ is on the mend &

Can taking a low-paying first job affect your lifetime earnings?
As a recent graduate, if you're worrying about your student loan debt and constantly hearing news of a struggling job market, it can be tempting to accept the first job that comes your way. But some financial planners advise against this, saying that starting with a low salary can cause a financial ripple effect. Common sense says it's better to make some money than no money at all, so what's a young graduate to do?
The long-term risk of a low-paying first job
Taking a lower-paying job poses some potential financial risks. Raises and bonuses typically are given as a percentage of salary, so what starts out as a small difference can be compounded over a long professional career. A recent study conducted by George Mason University and Temple University estimates that a difference of $5,000 early in your career can end up costing you as much as $600,000 over 40 years of employment.
However, this assumes that you stay at the same company, something that has become less common. Some workers may take a smaller paycheck, knowing that they won't be sticking around too long and hoping their next job will make up the difference. Unfortunately, this strategy is flawed. Many employers will take a prospective employee's previous salary into consideration when making a job offer. This is why taking a slightly lower salary from the get-go could result in earning lower salaries throughout your career.
How you can get the salary you're worth
Of course, making some money, even if it's less than desired, is better than remaining unemployed. The trick is to know what you're worth and how to negotiate. Many online resources can help you evaluate how much to expect for certain positions, such as CBSalary.com or the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook. Consider factors such as how much others in your field are making and the size of the company at which you're applying.
And don't think of negotiation as a one-time deal. Keep track of the ways in which you add value to your company, as this will be powerful information when negotiating raises with your current company or salary with prospective employers. A lower-paying job can hurt your earnings initially, but it is a setback that you can overcome with the right resources.

Turn on the afterburners and rip all-mountain terrain on the Burner.
At the absolute peak of freeride technology stands Salomon's most advanced deck, the Burner Snowboard. Using Salomon's Spaceframe construction, the Burner provides increased edge through a combination of cap and sidewall construction. The Zeolit sintered base makes the Burner fast in any snow conditions, but it likes powder the best. The tip and tail have been softened slightly to allow easier turn initiation and exit while the middle of the board remains very stiff, giving it solid stability when you're really haulin'. If big drops, open powder fields and steep couloirs are your favorite places to ride, then this is the board you should be strapping onto.

Broken Burner
When I heard that the Burner was the stiffest board made by Salomon, I assumed it was also the strongest board made. I guess I was wrong. I managed to break the board after six runs. Lets hope that the Salomon warranty department is better then the Salomon Burner.

Robin Williams Tributeby EmilyStepp
Editor's Note:
Why did we delay for more than a week the publishing of this remembrance? Because to properly reflect the impact of this loss on the millions of Robin Williams fans worldwide, we wanted to be sure to capture a true sense of the torrent of love for Robin pouring in from the community in the form of heartfelt portraits and other tribute art.
We chose the "best" pieces to accompany our own prose tribute, but the "best" kept being supplanted by

Can this belt be used as a wedding belt for the groom ? Black suit, Black shoes, White shirt, Silver cufflinks.
Yes, AE owns woodlore. See here : http://woodlore.com/about/history.html
The wooden, split toe shoe tree pictured on that page is the thing you're looking for, rwaldron. The woodlore and Alden ones are very similar; I know because I have both. The Alden ones just cost more. Just don't buy plastic ones or ones that are sized too big for your shoe (check sizing charts). If there's no shoe shop or Nordstrom rack near you, then Amazon is a good option.
I have two Harvie and Hudson dress shirts that I recently noticed were really creased up. I had hand washed both of them and hung them to dry, and I must have not been careful because they each are incredibly creased up with lines. I tried to iron one this morning and had little luck getting it smooth.
Can I fix this issue simply by throwing it in the washing machine and washing them in cold water? I really hope the shirts aren't ruined.
White is versatile like heck, love my white sc
I've lurked here for some time and have learned quite a bit. I'd like to purchase my first good suit and I'm going the ebay/used route as my financial standing does not match my tastes/desires. I missed a really wonderful Armani recently by a few dollars just yesterday so now I'm looking agressively. I've come across the following listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190696415464
While the authenticity is all but certain and the measurements seem perfect, I'm trying to decide if I like the fabric and, furthermore, if this model is excessively outdated. I *think* I like it but something is giving me a bit of pause, but I suspect that might be because I was expecting to find a charcoal or subtle pinstripe suit. Oh esteemed style gurus, what say you?

Roma Financial Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2010 Earnings
"Loan quality, principally in the commercial portfolio, remains under pressure as there is little positive change in the economy and collateral valuations continue to diminish. Non-performing loans, exclusive of those assumed in the merger, increased during the quarter to 2.58% of total assets at the end of the quarter. Appropriate loan loss provisions are being recorded. Additional loan risk mitigation steps have been taken and management is squarely focused on the resolution of these loans so as to minimize losses," commented Inverso.
"Despite the unsatisfactory level of non-performing loans, our overall asset quality is very good and our capital ratios remain strong," concluded Inverso.
Shares of the Company began trading on July 12, 2006, on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "ROMA."

|Thank you in advance for all responses and advise. Has anyone painted ceramic lamps? I have two "Ginger Jar" Lamps that I would like to makeover and use. I'm thinking about painting them. Has anyone tried this and what was your result? And more importantly, how did you do it. Once again Thank you....Rosie
Follow-Up Postings:
|Krylon spray paint. It now comes in a huge variety of colors and sheens. Easiest thing ever.
|I just painted a pottery lamp that I made years ago and it needed a color change. I went to Michaels and got four tiny bottles of glass paint. One was a sky blue which I painted all over it and then I varied a cobalt with a deep purple and let it drizzle down. It looks like a high end piece from a good store now. I got a good linen lampshade for it. Easy fix.
- Posted by printersdevil (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 08 at 1:53
|I don't think that you can paint over the ones that are high gloss where the paint color was fired on in a kiln. I could be wrong, but I think I remember my sister telling me this when I wanted to paint some years ago.
|I have "sanded" the ceramic lamps with 200 grit sand paper, cleaned them with vinegar, let them dry and then spray painted with Krylon paint as Miss Pesky suggested. They survived 3 kids and are working on 7 grandkids with only a minimum of damage
|I spray painted this lamp w/Kylon also - all I did was clean it well.
The orig lamp was white w/blue flowers and I wanted to freshen it up!
|After reading this thread, I'm thinking about picking up a lamp with a nice shape at a thrift store and giving the Krylon paint a try. That way, if it doesn't turn out as well as I'd like, at least I wouldn't be out a lot of money.
|I have painted a shiny ceramic lamp. I liked the shape, but not the 70's orange flowers that were painted on it. I sanded it down with regular sandpaper, primed with Zinzer, and then painted it with a foam roller and craft paint, then put a sealer coat over it to give it some shine and protect the paint. Spray paint would have been a better idea, but I was in a hurry, LOL! In any case, the paint has held up just fine.
|I also spray painted a ceramic ginger jar lamp with copper metallic krylon paint - came out beautiful

|Yay for this thread! One of the projects on my to-do list is to paint an old hand-me-down lamp. Wasn't sure what to use. Now I know! Jim, thanks especially for showing your end result -- looks amazing!
- Posted by lynninnewmexico (My Page) on Tue, Jul 1, 08 at 19:44
|I've painted several ceramic lamps over the years, most with shiny surfaces and they all came out really well with no sanding at all. I've used the Krylon spray and regular craft paint from Hobby Lobby.
BTW, Chijim: that room is stunning! I'd love it if you'd start a new thread and show us with more pics of it.
|I agree, Lynn. I'd love to see more. It looks like so homey and comfortable.
- Posted by Terry(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSat, Jan 8, 11 at 16:44
|Does anyone have any ideas on reversing this process? I have 2 ceramic lamps with gesso flowers on them that I painted over many years ago. I now would like to try to remove the paint and restore to the original finish. Thanks. Terry

Jonathan Wade Ellington and his girlfriend leave Kootenai County District Court during a break in the opening day of his trial Thursday. (SRPhoto/Meghann Cuniff) Ellington is pictured below in 2006.
Prosecutors say he used his vehicle as a weapon against two sisters and their mother in an angry road encounter fueled by his own rage.
But Jonathan Wade Ellington's lawyers told jurors at the opening day of his murder trial Thursday that the North Idaho man was simply trying to get away from gunfire when he ran over and killed Vonnette Larsen on Jan. 1, 2006.
"It's a tragedy, but it's not a crime," said John Adams, head of the Kootenai County Public Defender's Office.

I'm sorry. I was way, way out of line.Dan
I think you'll understand when I--Dan
The woman I met, at the book store--Dan
Like it's right outside of your ribs.Dan
And it feels exposed and vulnerable, wonderful and awful, and heartsick, and alive all at the same time.Dan
No no no. This was the place with all of the shells, and the paper-mache shark!Dan
Yeah, but...okay. Stick with me guys. Oh, I have an idea! Let's go bowling!Dan
That's right, yes. And also because they help when it's dark out. They uh, help keep boats safe, and they help us from crashing into rocks. Because, when you're out there, and you're being tossed back and forth by those big dark waves, and you think that you'll never feel land again, and that you could just split into a million pieces, and just sink down all the way down into the deep, it's the light that keeps us on course. It's the light.Dan
Stop reading my book, okay. Just stop.Dan
And that salsa thing you do? You know, this thing? Can you just stop that? It would be very helpful to me. And another thing you can do is just not exist.Dan
Yeah, I said it. I didn't mean it, but I said it. And you know what else I'm going to do? I am going to make myself less attractive. So as to not encourage any inappropriate feelings!Dan
okay, that's hilarious. You know what, fine. I'm going to stop thinking about you.Dan
I will. And if I start thinking about you, which may happen in a moment of...Dan
Weakness! I am going to focus all of my thoughts on your flaws.Dan
I have no idea. But you can rest assured that I will find them!Dan
Well, I'm touched but, but, I'm fine.Dan
So far what you've missed is; worried, love will find, unplug the drain. Well, thanks we are done!Dan
Mom, I don't even remember Ruthy 'Pig-face' Draper. I don't wanna go! I don't want to go with...the...pig-face!Dan
I'm filled with reckless desire.Dan
What does that mean?Dan
What about that sentence is supposed to give me comfort?Dan
What don't I understand, Cara? Please, help me out. What is it? Is it frustrating that you can't be with this person? That there's something keeping you apart, that there's something about this person that you really connect with? And when you're near this person, you don't know what to say, and you say everything in your mind and in your heart, and you know, that if you could just be together, that this person would help you become the best possible version of yourself?Dan
Look, I'm not your parent, but I should warn you: love is a dangerous feeling.Dan

Over a year after the deadly Dantewada Maoist ambush, the CRPF has created 70 exclusive battalions for counter insurgency and naxal operations which will be insulated from regular law and order duties performed by the force.
Creation of two distinct units - one for undertaking operations and the other for performing duties like conduct of polls - within the world's largest paramilitary force was recommended in the aftermath of the attack in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada where 75 armed CRPF men and a state policeman were killed in April last year.
"We have earmarked and created 70 battalions for counter—insurgency tasks. These battalions will never be used for other law and order duties and will follow a strict regime of training, deployment and performing their specific job," CRPF Director General K. Vijay Kumar said.
One battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has a strength close to 1,000 personnel.
Mr. Kumar, a 1975-batch Tamil Nadu cadre IPS officer, was appointed chief of the three-lakh-personnel force in the aftermath of the Dantewada debacle last year, with a task to re-organise and resurrect the force which was low on motivation.
"These battalions will henceforth serve in our main theatres of operation like anti-naxal, counter-insurgency and duties in Jammu and Kashmir. Although the men in these units can join the other law and order battalions after a certain period of time for de-stressing themselves, the battalions would never move for any other job," he said.
Keywords: Dantewada, CRPF battallions, additional forces

Score from 445 reviews Good
Very nice, friendly and helpful staff.
Think the modern decor will get very dated and wasn't of the top quality for lasting!
Location Accomadation Facilities Staff
Great location. Its small and personal.
Centrally located to Roman ruins and lovely restaurants
Staff were very helpful.
The hotel was very gloomy with a bad odour in our room. Breakfast was very basic as were the room facilities. Needs an overhaul
The size of the superior double room was superb. Vaulted ceilings add to the feeling of space. King size bed was very comfortable. Very classy boutique hotel in a great location. Turn right at the front door and you stumble across the Templo de Diana. Turn left and you are no sooner at the Alcazaba & Puente Romano. Friendly young women on the front desk and very helpful, unlike other hotels I've stayed at throughout Spain.
Cannot fault this hotel.
Kindness of service
Quality and comfort of the room - Ceiling windows would not open, leaving the area of the bed with no ventilation - a/c incredibly noisy - unfortunate location of a damped bathtub - moist stains around the shower
Great location in the centre We had a huge terrace Modern and comfortable design of the room
The receptionists speak english, but pretty poorly. But they are nice and try to help/understand, so you just need a little patience
Firstly this hotel DOES NOT have parking - it is in the middle of a small historic town with very narrow streets. There is pull in, however parking is in a multi story car park nearby. We left the car in the pull in and the vehicle was covered in pidgeon droppings in the morning, We stayed in the duplex suite with wooden spiral staircase with is lethal. On arrival we should have changed rooms/hotel as the bedroom was on the upper level with toilet on the lower level. I decided only to drink water that evening as the stairs were so dangerous. Unfortunately my worst nightmare happened when during the night I fell down the last few steps, en-route to the bathroom. I have photos of my injuries and should have gone to a hospital. The staff shrugged me off with a bottle of wine! Very unacceptable
Friendly and helpful staff, great location. Gave us good disconuts on parking and breakfast from prices listed on website.
Wifi didn't work - although staff did try and maintenance was poor.
Locación is perfect
The room was cool, the heater was nos good
close to some of the Roman ruins - comfortable walking distance.
on arrival at 7pm the receptioneous was obvisouly on a private call & had no intention of us interrupting her until she was finished, then she was quite abrupt. The elevator wasnt working so we had to carry our bags up the steps. the lights were on sensors & kept going off before you got even half way up each flight. then we couldnt even get a meal / snack /room service as "it is too late & we should have made a reservation if we wanted to eat there" - it was 7pm. We asked if somewhere to eat in the town - she replied "no". Wasnt helpful with what Merida had to offer (eg sights, where things were, or even how close we were to the Roman Ruins) - we found that out ourselves by accident walking around. Hotel said had "onsite parking" - I would not agree. There was 1 holding / drop off parking spot out the front. When you wanted your car you had to give them at least 20 minutes notice so that someonw could go to get your car!! the room safe didnt work. Breakfast was awful. I didnt get what I ordered. the waitress couldnt understand english at all plus she dropped the teapot over me. which didnt seem to bother her!

I've spent the past twenty years or so watching the culture of my birth from a distance. Whether that distance provides insight or just blurred vision is debatable, but from where I sit, I see one overwhelming crisis sweeping the nation: a growing inability -- or unwillingness -- to recognize and reject outright lies. Like so many problems we see as being specific to our age, I'm sure a greater historical understanding on my part would show me that this is an issue with roots deeper than I presently appreciate. But still, I think there's a case to be made that our production of Gross National Bullshit (GNBS) has been growing exponentially in the past few decades. And it occurs to me that nothing is so toxic to the health of the mind as being forced to swallow obvious lies.
Now, you might say that nobody's forcing anyone to swallow lies, but the fact is that any American not living in a remote Unabomber-style cabin is like a fish swimming in polluted waters. You can claim the fish isn't being forced to absorb the toxins, but it's an empty argument from the fish's point of view. If you own a TV, your house is full of BS. True, most of us know, on some level, that the vast majority of advertisements range from merely misleading to full-on deceit, but as Stalin or some other paragon of evil famously said (paraphrasing), "Just keep repeating the lie and it will become the truth." Pardon me for saying so, but how does most advertising and marketing differ from just plain repeated lying? In fact, it's arguably worse than quotidian falsity in that the aim is to not just to create false impressions in the mind, but false needs in the heart -- needs that, being illusions, can never be truly satisfied.

Warning messages in "All Log Entries" report that "the file is on an unavailable NFS file system. Skipping."
|Created: 2002-01-04
|Updated: 2013-10-23
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH17008
Warning messages in "All Log Entries" report that "the file is on an unavailable NFS file system. Skipping."
19:25:54 [23763] <8> bpbkar validate_argument: WRN - /the/file/path is on an unavailable NFS file system. Skipping.
The VERITAS NetBackup client binary bpbkar issues stat() system calls to files to obtain information about the files to be backed up. This is done before the file is opened to read the data for backup. In order to prevent backups hanging at files in an NFS file system during the stat() system call, a timeout value is defined. This is called NFS_ACCESS_TIMEOUT. If the stat() is not returned during this time interval, the above message is shown in the "All log entries" report as well as in the bpbkar log.
If this is the case, check the following items:
A. If the file is in an NFS file system, check the network connections and NFS server.
B. If the file is not in an NFS file system, look for these possible causes:
1. Make sure that disks or volumes on which the file system resides are in healthy condition.
2. Try scheduling a backup when the file system is not busy.
3. Avoid multiple backup jobs from the same file system during the same backup window; this will thrash the disks.
4. Avoid multiple jobs from concatenated volumes, though such volumes use multiple disks. The read/write load is not uniformly distributed as in the case of striped or mirrored volumes.
5. Try tuning the file system. Refer to the manual pages for the file systems.
If tuning of the file system is not possible until the next available maintenance window, a workaround is to increase the NFS_ACCESS_TIMEOUT value for the client so as to ensure successful backups. For this add this line to client bp.conf:
NFS_ACCESS_TIMEOUT = <value>
The <value> is the number of seconds, the default is 5.

Over the five-week Congressional summer recess, local unions are encouraged to schedule visits with their Members and deliver the ATU report "Ripped from the Headlines: Bus Drivers Under Attack".
Gov. Jay Inslee said he picked a new transportation secretary who shares his vision for boosting public transit, increasing the capacity of existing highways and reducing carbon emissions from traffic.
In response to critics who contend the Regional Transportation Authority is broken, legislation has been introduced in Springfield that calls for merging the RTA and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning into a new entity.
Hundreds of Hoosiers turned out from all over the state, some driving multiple hours to get here, to support increased mass transit options at the Transit Day Rally, held at the Indiana Statehouse earlier this week.
May is Transit Action Month. There are rallies, leafleting events, Ride-Alongs with elected officials and other events happening all across the North America throughout the month and beyond. Check on the map and JOIN IN!

Reports: Fracking, Aided by Wall Street, Causing New Housing Bubble
|By: Steve Horn Tuesday February 19, 2013 4:08 pm
While most media attention towards fracking has focused on the threats to drinking water and health in communities throughout North America and the world, there is an even larger threat looming. The fracking industry has the ability – paralleling the housing bubble burst that served as a precursor to the 2008 economic crisis – to tank the global economy.

Martin Feldstein's Housing Solution Strikes Out Again, Big Time

Harvard economics professor Martin Feldstein, who made himself famous by predicting in 1993 that Clinton tax increases would not raise any revenue, strikes out big time in his proposal for the housing market in Thursday's NYT.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Menzie Chinn and Jeffry Frieden, Lost Decades: The Making of America's Debt Crisis and the Long Recovery
|By: Mike Konczal Saturday October 1, 2011 1:59 pm
Lost Decades looks at why the explosion of debt happened through the traditional lens of supply-and-demand. It examines the motivations and situations of people on both side of this debt. Why did demand for debt increase in the United States? The first reason Chinn and Frieden identify is the huge deficits run during the George W. Bush years. These are the trillions spent on the Bush tax cuts, the expansion of Medicare part D and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that weren't paid for.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner, Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon

This is a reminder that the victims of Wall Street's misconduct during the housing bubble actually include millions of responsible Americans who had zero involvement in the bubble, but are simply unfortunate enough to live in a community where the banks refuse to take care of their property.
"No One Could Have Predicted…" – US Ignored Signs that Middle East Status Quo Was Shaky
|By: emptywheel Wednesday February 2, 2011 12:30 pm
The WSJ has a fascinating narrative of how both the US and Mubarak's government were utterly unprepared for a democratic revolution in Egypt. From a meeting two months ago at which Egypt again refused democratic reforms, after which Hillary declared Egypt to be the "cornerstone of stability and security in the Middle East and beyond," to a meeting on Monday when when a Middle East expert asked Obama's National Security Council, "Please tell me you have contingencies in case Mubarak's regime collapses" (the NSC said they did not), our government's certainty that it could depend on the status quo generally and Egypt specifically has utterly collapsed.
