Setup on the board offered little resistance to the user and was very simple to work with all things considered. The board layout is very well thought out with the exception of some of the capacitors. The CPU, its cooling solution, the memory, and the cables can be installed easily by the person assembling the system. The board is also clearly marked with a very readable silkscreen for hooking up the system wiring.
Being a jumper-free board means no messy jumpers or switches need to be set before starting up the system. Just install your system components, connect your case wiring and drive cables and the 8K3A+ will auto-detect your CPU and memory timings. I was able to get a post the first time I started the system up and was greeted with a familiar beep meaning success.
Be very careful when installing your Ge-Force 4 or RADEON 9700 VGA card as the capacitors are located way too close the AGP port and can break off the end caps of your card if not installed properly. I damaged my Ti4600 in this manner and it was a nightmare trying to get my card fixed. This is just plain bad design and should be corrected ASAP before it haunts them.
There are available options for overclocking the CPU, Memory, and AGP controller within the AWARD BIOS. These features along with voltage increment options for increased stability within the Windows system environment allow for successful overclocking adventures to be achieved. I was very easily able to overclock my 133MHZ FSB 2.0GHz to 143MHz soundly using a combination of these features.
The EPOX 8K3A+ offers the user a very easy to update bios that is extremely user friendly especially when comparing the task of taking on this procedure having to obtain a bootable floppy just to get started. With the 8K3A+ all you need to do is download the appropriate BIOS .bin file from the EPOX website put the file on a floppy disc and restart the computer.
When the system first begins the startup procedure you will see a message at the bottom of the screen offering a command prompt assisted BIOS flash utility that takes you into the BIOS flashing procedure. If you have the right file downloaded and on the inserted floppy disc this procedure will begin as soon as the system sees the floppy files and automatically flash your BIOS to the newer version.
When installing Windows XP if you want to use the RAID channels to control your hard drive the OS setup will ask if you want to install any additional SCSI devices by pressing the F6 key. When prompted insert the included RAID floppy discs that accompanies the board and choose to install the driver off the floppy not the driver that Windows XP offers.
This will allow the Windows OS to recognize the RAID controller in the OS installer and in turn recognize your hard discs whether using a single drive or the drives used in a RAID environment. To run the system in a RAID array you will need to read the manual and pay close attention to detail to get things going right as this a more complicated procedure than the normal just format install and go.
For your hardware monitoring the 8K3A+ incorporates the Winbond chip and offers the user the ability to see how hot the system and CPU are running in addition to the RPM speeds of the system/CPU fans. There is also a post Debug LED that provides a set of numbers/letters to tell how well the system is performing. A code of FF means the board is fully functioning properly. The manual has a complete list of the Debug codes and what they stand for if you encounter system problems.

Hello Friends;
This past Sunday was a beautiful fall day, and Ihought I'd take an early morning ride through my favorite park on my BikeE. Disaster! I hit a patch of wet leaves on a downhill, the rear wheel spun out; I and the bike went down hard on my right side. Result: Smashed Femur. I'm now recovering in Wilmington Rehab Hospital, I expect to be here about another week, the usual 6-8 weeks for actural bone healing, and about six months before I'm back to where I was before the accident. I guess I'm writing this to warn everyone to be extra careful about leaves in general and wet leaves in particular. I'd been toying with the idea of three wheels for my next bike. With this experience behind me, I'm almost certain my next bike will be a trike. This is the first serious accicent I've had in 15 years of riding

|Simple steps to avoid check scams
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Nearly one-third of adults have been approached by scammers trying to pass fake checks, and at least 1.3 million people have fallen victim, with an average loss of $3,000 to $4,000, according to research from the Consumer Federation of America.
Scams involving fake checks come in different forms and can be hard to identify as printing technology used by scammers improves.
Fake check scams typically require victims to deposit checks into their bank accounts then wire money back to the scammers. While the fake check initially may be deposited into the victim's bank account, it usually is discovered within weeks and the bank takes the funds out of the account.
Some of the top scams involve fake lotteries, phony government grants and mystery or secret shopping schemes.
The Better Business Bureau advises consumers to beware of these red flags:
—you're told you won a lottery or grant for which you didn't apply.
—the name on a check doesn't match the name of the company or individual with whom you're dealing.
—you're given instructions to deposit a check into your account and promptly wire part of those funds back to sender or to another specified company or contact.
Don't be fooled by phone calls. Just because you've spoken to scammers, doesn't mean they're not trying to rip you off.

They look so extravagant and worthy of a movie star. Or for someone whose dream was to become a movie star and didn't have the chance to do it. I particularly like the sexy things, but I am also aware that weddings cannot be only sexy, as not all guests would taste a wedding whose theme is sexiness. But these dresses really combine intimacy, elegance and hot desires in a very modern way. The fabric combination is exquisite as well. Satin I believe it is and lace, these soft and fluid fabrics that would make any bride feel they are floating on their wedding day. I wonder however how many of us can afford such a dress. Fortunately, we can dream of them once in a while.

I like the pleated style as I believe it can be used to cover or reveal. And these dresses show exactly this. I especially like the first dresses you chose to present here. The pleats are used with moderation but in such a way as to bring intricacy for the gown. The pleats lose themselves so naturally in the more wider lines of the dress, creating the image of waves and the illusion of floating. Moreover, the pleats on the waist can easily hide the not so fabulous waist a model has, making any bride look tremendous dressed in it. It is one dress that, if too expensive, can definitely serve as a model.

By Kamarul Aznam Kamaruzaman
Islamic, or Halal branding, seem to be the newest marketing catch phrase, having been discussed at length during the recent World Islamic Economic Forum, as well as being the central argument for a new niche offering by a global media and advertising giant.
In both instances, the theme is identical: that the burgeoning modern global Muslim population will create a powerful market force that will sweep the entire established world of consumerism as we know it. Oh, and it will exclude any businesses not already on the bandwagon. Tough luck.
This would immediately exclude even the Muslim-owned businesses which makes up just 15% of the industry. They loose out either because they thought their products would sell because they themselves are Muslims, or because they are just "not there yet".
A high ranking Halal representative from the host country even suggested that the concept of Halal itself needed to be re-branded. Halal, he says, must be inclusive as opposed to exclusive and catered purely for the Muslim consumers.
Herein lies the problem. If Halal is to be just like any other, what is the point of being Halal-certified in the first place?
From a manufacturers' point of view, they probably got their products Halal certified just because they want to tap the local and global Muslim consumers. Established manufacturers may actually be contented with the existing market share it commands.
If nobody had suggested that Islam is actually the fastest growing religion, surely the industry would NOT have gone through the hassle and switch their entire production lines to Halal.
For the consumers, the voluntary extra measures taken by the manufacturers to safeguard their religious preference is indeed a welcome news, although most find it hard to show their gratitude.
The problem is, catering to Halal is not without its costs. Malaysia seems to be full of bitter and bewildered Halal manufacturers who got the wrong end of the Halal stick.
Despite putting in significant investments in money, time and effort to be Halal-certified, the majority non Muslim-owned food producers are then subjected to constant lookouts over their gates, not for robbers but for group of religious officers wearing skullcaps.
While market awareness is good, sensational exposés are not, and in multiracial Malaysia, certain consumer groups will not hesitate to use both the race and religious cards to their fullest benefit.
Sadly, instead of protecting consumer's interest, all they do is cause a deeper divide that will eventually take its own disastrous path in the long run. The history books are full of short term gains with long term consequences, with the price continue to be paid by generations to come.
If Halal is agreed to be universal, for all mankind, there are definitely some serious flaws in the way we Muslims even understand it amongst ourselves, let alone communicate it, explain it, live it.
How then do you explain the angry reactions of non Muslims in France, the UK and Australia who thinks they have been disregarded and sidelined over a few measly Muslim dollars?
In all fairness, nobody wants to come to their favourite fast food joint only to find a new sign on the door that says everything here are now good for the Muslims. What does it say for everybody else?
A manufacturer has every right to cater to the coming trends for safe and healthy Halal food, but please exercise caution and be selective when promoting Halal in non Muslim countries.
Until we perfect the Halal system, iron out all issues within the industry, or have our own united Islamic state (whichever comes first), publicity blitz about the "halalness" of one's brand should be kept at a minimal, targeted only to the segments of population demanding it.
For effective Halal branding, manufacturers are advised to use interest-specific Halal media and other niche communication platforms targeting different Muslim societies in varying regions around the world.
The mosques during Friday prayers are also a good venue to spread the Halal word, and if done right, and is matched by the good ol' quality, variety and sincerity, news will definitely spread fast throughout the close knit Muslim communities.
Not only you'll win new customers, you'll also get to keep old ones, and increase brand loyalty at the same time. In the end, the whole world would be a better place for everybody.

Computer display screens that mimic butterflies' wings
Butterflies' wings are bright and colourful, and they reflect ambient light. "Basically, nature has shown us a display, which uses zero power," says Jim Cathey, vice-president of business development at Qualcomm MEMS Technologies.
The wings are made up of scales, between which are gaps -- referred to as "optical resonant cavities". White light enters each cavity, but, due to interference patterns that are set up, only certain wavelengths (and therefore colours) escape to reach our eyes. Qualcomm has emulated this structure and transferred it to glass to make electronic displays which use significantly less power than traditional LCD screens.

Work That Comes to You
Marlon Machado 100000PEST firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  sametime uc2 ucc collaboration uc 3,925 Visits
A couple of days ago as I was driving to the office I was listening to a discussion on the radio about whether being always online and overloaded with information makes us more isolated or more connected. One side argued that being constantly bombarded with information from multiple sources makes us more aware but less focused and, as a result, more isolated. The other side argued that being more aware is good enough; that the nature of the work knowledge workers do does not require any kind of deep thought and that jumping from one task to another while being aware just enough to not screw something up is acceptable.
The first argument has some footing, in my opinion. Last year I did extensive research on finding ways for unified communications and collaboration tools to help address the pain points plaguing the banking industry in the face of the current economic crisis. I found that information overload breeds uncertainty and, with it, isolation. My research revealed that in cases where organizations face structural isolation uncertainty exacerbates the issues that prevent people from knowing what they need to know when they need to know it. I also found that even when structural isolation is not a problem there's a risk that information overload will cause us to just tune out and, as a result, we end up being less aware than we think we are. When we see this in the context of different areas of an organization needing to be aware of each other the result is what I called a communication dead zone.
The second argument is intriguing. It basically says that superficial awareness is the new normal. It says it's OK to know just enough to not screw up and I find this really disconcerting. It reminds me of how doctors interact with patients nowadays: they come in, skim over your chart, ask you to stick out your tongue, ask you a few questions, order a round of tests for you and they're gone; off to the next patient. That's being mildly aware for you but, hey, it is what it is.
But let me get to the title of this posting. We like to say that, in the past, people went to work and that today work comes to you. One could argue that when we went to work we were less isolated from our teammates and collaboration was the natural way to do things at work. I can see someone saying to me that being part of a virtual team scattered all over the planet makes us more isolated regardless of how many unified communications and collaboration tools we have at our disposal.
My previous job made me move to Austin. My manager at the time wanted her team to come to the office every day and to work together as much as possible. In those days our mission was to help business partners build applications on IBM middleware. The projects we worked on were complex, long, and had lots of moving parts and it made sense for us to be physically in the lab every day and to travel together when we went on site to work with partners. In those days we did not have much in the area of unified communications (Sametime 3.0 only did presence and instant messaging) and broadband was something you really came to the office for.
Then I moved overseas. I was the first member of my team to be (really) remote. In 1999 my telephony expenses were about $400 per month just for dialing three times a day for 30 minutes each time--just long enough to let Notes replicate--and to attend the few conference calls we used to have at that time.
As time went by and broadband became available work started coming to me more than it ever did.
As IBM started deploying Sametime 7.5 my phone bills went to zero and my conference calls started to multiply. Collaboration became the norm: I used to share my screen with my colleagues; I used to be on a voice chat session while logging in on remote servers; we abandoned conferencing bridges for long discussions and went with voice chat pretty much full time and things started to look more or less as they do today. I worked from my overseas home most of the time when I wasn't traveling. I came to Austin from time to time but I was not really required to anymore. The job had changed and the requirements had changed and, thanks to the new tools me and my teammates were given, we were not isolated from each other.
I must say, though, that when work came to me I had an advantage: the years coming to the office left me with good friends with whom I still get together regularly. Isolation doesn't stand a chance in the face of long-lasting friendships.
When I changed jobs and joined the Sametime team in 2008 isolation did become an issue at first even with an ever richer set of unified communications and collaboration tools. I was being bombarded with information from all sides (the whole fire hose analogy) and I was now part of a group of people who were perfect strangers to me.
I went from an outward-facing environment in which my manager's job was to shield me from the internal workings of IBM to a situation in which my job was to master those very internal workings I had comfortably ignored since 1996 when I joined the company.--I'm still working on that today.
Work came to me all right and, with it, isolation. I learned that, when work comes to you, having the latest and greatest in unified communications is not enough without a healthy dose of collaboration tools. Our humanity, the instinctive side of us recognizes one and only one kind of human touch: actual human touch. I think our primate selves cannot register a chat session or a conference call as equivalent to meeting another human in person no matter how much we try. Body language doesn't translate very well over a headset and it's arguable that even telepresence and video chat may not be enough.
What helped me get over my isolation and the fact that I was part of a team of people I knew nothing about was the collaboration bit. Unified communications by itself won't to the trick to stifle isolation in cases where there's no preceding rapport among humans. When you introduce collaboration tools as the context driving the interactions among people isolation is less likely to occur. Collaboration tools provide a catalyzer, a filter that helps us keep the focus where it should be.
Collaborative environments help us learn more about the other humans in our group and allow us to get a glimpse of the personalities. This is funny--you learn all these things not from people's body language but from the way they talk on the phone, their writing style, the way they use graphics in presentations, their style for structuring information, etc. Eventually strangers become teammates and, with a bit of luck, they may even become your friends.
In conclusion, the first argument is dead on. It happened to me. The counterargument is also right but it's not ideal. Being aware just enough to not screw things up is not a good thing. Unfortunately this is the new reality. I don't have too many chances to get together with my new teammates. They're not total strangers to me anymore but I can't say we know much about each other besides what we do at work (I do know David Marshak is also a photography aficionado).
The good news is there are ways to cope with the new reality: a healthy combination of unified communications and collaboration tools can help prevent becoming isolated. The thing is that learning to take advantage of collaboration tools takes more time than learning to use unified communications tools. All we need to do then is be aware of that fact, be patient, and, as it's printed on the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "DON'T PANIC".

Under the "better late than never" section: Bruce Morse, VP for Unified Communications Software, had the opportunity to talk with Roger Green of CIOZone about IBM, unified communications and collaboration, the intersection with social collaboration, and other issues. The first interview was from Enterprise 2.0 San Francisco back in November (Part 1 video linked here, Part 2 video linked here) while the second was at Lotusphere 2010 in January (Part 1 video linked here, Part 2 video linked here). Some key highlights:
"...from our point of view, communications and collaboration, enterprise communications and collaboration is really about connecting people together in the context of the work that they do every day. It's really not about voice or about any particular communication media. It's really about using all of those capabilities along with things like social networking that allow you to connect the best people together that have the expertise to be able to resolve issues quickly, et cetera." - Bruce Morse

got one day left to ride in the city . what would you do on a sunday?
I'm gonna go with... ride it?Originally Posted by sniks
go to coney island. its not going to be there for much longer.
depends on how long a ride you are looking for, but on Sunday AMs I like to do a loop where I start in Queens, head over the Triboro bridge to Randall's Island then take the pedestrian bridge to Manhattan. This will dump you on 96th street, you can now take the green path down to the 60s and crosstown, ride through Central Park and then head to the west side and take the green path loop through the Battery and back to the Willie B bridge and then down Roebling... forget all the streets but basically make my way to McGuiness and then over the Pulaski bridge and eat the Cave & Creek Mexican spot. (Yes, I live in queens.)

Maybe include Prospect park if you are in brooklyn. There is about a 3 mile loop on the outskirts of the park where you go as fast as you want on smooth pavement. You could also try kissena park if you have a track bike.
Yeah, Prospect is great, you may want to cross the Brooklyn Bridge instead tho, and while you are there go to Red Hook and eat lunch at Hope & Anchor. They have an amazing Turkey Club sandwich.

Hey everone,
I'm looking for an all season waterproof rain shell. Will be worn on and off my bike in wet weather. Most of my rainy riding is just a short 3 mile commute, but I'd like to be sure that I can stay dry in at least a couple hours of moderate to heavy rain. Through some of my own criteria & deal hunting, I've narrowed it down to two options (one cycling specific, one not):
Sugoi Icon VS. Marmot Super Mica
Sugoi Icon
optional dropped tail (Though when not in use, magnets may have an issue keeping it in place)
some reflective details
stretchy as all hell
wind resistant
Sharp looking on and off a bike
may be a wee bit heavy in the summer
? 2.5 layer "Majik Shell" fabric w/ a 10,000mm water column-Not familiar w/ this fabric, which is no longer Sugoi's flagship ?
Wasn't able to find any feedback on this jacket...y'all got any experience with this one?
Only a 1 year warrantee - WTF SUGOI?? Seems like everyone else backs their stuff for life...
Marmot Super Mica
This jacket is very light & Packable...9 oz!
Marmot Membrain Strata fabric w/ 20,000 water column - well known & well reviewed in the outdoorsy community
Jacket has received TONS of positive feedback
Marmot puts a lifetime guarantee on their products
Tail is slightly lower, but maybe not dropped enough to avoid tire splash
not really stretchy
no reflective details
protective patches for pack straps are a nice idea, but look a bit odd in person - still looks good tough...sorry, knit picking
So there we have it. Insights? Experiences with either jacket, but especially the Sugoi? Will a 20,000mm water column make a big difference for me over a 10,000mm?
Thank you for your help!

Bad Boy in Bayreuth: Wagner's Ring Gets a Brash Reboot
Firebrand director Frank Castorf presents his version of Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung" this week at Germany's most important opera festival. The production is meant to salvage the shaky reputation of the festival's artistic directors. But is it doomed for disaster?
It's late in the evening high up on the storied Green Hill at the edge of Bayreuth, and renowned German theater director Frank Castorf is letting off some steam. We're on the summer terrace of the Bürgerreuth Restaurant, a few hundred meters up a steep footpath from Festival Theater, the Bavarian opera house built by Richard Wagner. "Today I was on the verge of throwing rocks," says Castorf, as mosquitoes buzz around the lights above the tables. He is talking about the dress rehearsal for "Götterdämmerung." "What happened on that stage was Ingolstadt local theater. And that's being generous."
Starting this Friday, Castorf and Russian conductor Kirill Petrenko will present their "Ring of the Nibelung" in the Bayreuth Festival Theater, their contribution to this year's anniversary celebration marking Wagner's 200th birthday. Preparations for the large-scale production, which is estimated to run for a total of 17 hours, were completed in an extremely short period of time. Castorf was brought in after filmmaker Wim Wenders, who had initially been hired to direct the Ring Cycle, backed out after lengthy deliberation. Attempts by artistic directors Katharina Wagner and Eva Wagner-Pasquier, both great-granddaughters of the composer, to pull in other prominent directors, including Tom Tykwer, also came up short.
Castorf is now playing the savior. "I see myself as a service provider here," says the 62-year-old director. He is taking the short rehearsal times in stride. "I had to stage 'Rheingold' in nine days, which, of course, is lunacy. It's like working on 'Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten,'" he said, referencing a long-running German soap opera. Wagner's Ring Cycle, says Castorf, is "a piece of great eclecticism," which makes it easier for any director to work with his own ideas.
How enthusiastic is he about Wagner's music? "I don't know whether I'm a big fan of Wagner's music," says Castorf. "I wouldn't put it that way. I understand why his music had such a strong influence on American film music. It's the leitmotif-like aspect of it, its overtly German and Brechtian nature. The desire to create insight through grand moments. Everything is based on the principle that one has to step outside of something to truly perceive it. Ultimately, it becomes very transparent." Nevertheless, he adds, "the singers often seem to melt away."
Jitters at the Top
The organizers of the Bayreuth Festival are apparently very nervous ahead of the Ring premier. Conductor Petrenko declined to give any interviews at all and director Castorf cancelled most of his. Although Katharina Wagner publicly pushed to have the contract with her and festival co-director Eva Wagner-Pasquier, which expires in 2015, extended as quickly as possible, all she was willing to reveal about the Ring Cycle was this: "What we have been able see so far is impressive."
In contrast to the usual Bayreuth premiers, very little was shown to the press in advance. "We regret to inform you that, contrary to previous announcements, it is no longer possible to attend the dress rehearsals for 'Siegfried' and 'Götterdämmerung'," the festival press office announced. "At the request of the production team and in consultation with the organizers, festival management has closed the dress rehearsals to all visitors."
Some members of the press have even been denied admission to the premier. The passionate Bayreuth critic Monika Beer, who writes a Wagner blog filled with a great deal of insider festival information and planned to report on the Ring performances for Fränkischer Tag, a regional newspaper, was turned down when she tried to secure tickets for opening night. In her blog, Beer often attacks the Wagner sisters running the show at Bayreuth for what she calls their "disastrous artist's policy." She was told that there is a shortage of press tickets this year. "The festival management wants to keep out people like me," says Beer.
Director Castorf says that the mood within the management team for the Bayreuth Festival reminds him of his wild days in East Germany. "Every outsider is the enemy. It's pure GDR." According to Castorf, the organizers suffer from a "phobia" so pronounced that he even had to negotiate for permission to have his own relatives attend rehearsals. "In the end, my mother and my son were allowed in."
From Rheingold to Texas Tea
Castorf revealed the spectacular concept for his staging of the Ring cycle early on. In his version, oil will be the gold in the Rhine, the Nibelung treasure. And because Wagner makes him think of Route 66, Castorf sets some of the action in the North American plains. He says that he wants to "move away from illustration," use a lot of video and a revolving stage, and set his oil storyline primarily in Azerbaijan and Texas.
"Such translations don't work one-to-one," says Castorf today. "Direct translations into the world of modern industrial production or Wall Street are never convincing in the theater, even if it's (respected German theater directors) Ruth Berghaus or Peter Konwitschny."
Denic's set for "Das Rheingold" -- known as "Preliminary Evening" in Wagner's tetralogy -- includes the façade of a Texas motel, complete with a gas station. The set designer, a convoluted, temperamental and argumentative man, invokes the grand, uninhibited days when the automobile was king -- "the golden years of the 1960s and 1970s, when gasoline was cheap in America, people drove big cars and oil reserves seemed inexhaustible."

With flight prices going up so much we're going to find it hard to go next year how do you all save up for Disney? any tips?
With flight prices going up so much we're going to find it hard to go next year how do you all save up for Disney? any tips?
I was bought a big jug for Christmas with Florida Fund painted on to it and I collect £1 and £2 coins. Trouble is I've grown to love this jug and really don't want to smash it to get the money out but there will be about £500 in it so that will be a lot of money to miss out on
All of our loose change goes into a jar. When the jar gets full I roll the coins. After about 2 cycles I have enough to take it to the bank and put it in our savings account. Donna also saves $1.00 bills.

we've just started saving for our disney trip next year brought thoese tins u can't open :mad:.we also booked up with oceans florida & saved loads they got us 21 days for a great price
Well funny you should ask that as I was wondering the same thing! I have one part time wage coming in and 2 demanding teenagers so saving is not that easy for me, but I was just sitting here wondering if there's any way I could get the three of us there next August...in reality it's probably not going to be possible, but it's worth thinking about.
We have a mason jar for change and next to that a jar with the gang on it that I found at a yard sale. In the gang jar goes our money from the 52 week challenge, try it out: http://www.savingadvice.com/articles...challenge.html
I'm in the US and flights aren't terribly pricy to Orlando so I'm lucky in that respect.
I buy an annual pass every year with my tax refund money.
I have a change jar. I work as a TA and that's fun money. I have money directly deposited into a savings account that is not easy to access so I'm not tempted to take money out.

More reaction is coming into the Climate Change report released this week from the White House. South Dakota Farm Bureau President Scott Vanderwal says it's all about politics and power control and being able to control what people pay for energy. He doubts the validity of this week's report.
Vanderwal says we all have a responsibility to be environmentally responsible and agriculture has done its share of having a positive impact on the carbon footprint. He says to even think that human's cause the problem doesn't make sense.
While Vanderwal doubts the latest climate change report, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says the report shows climate change is affecting all regions of the country and industries critical to the country's economy.

The absence of a Monday night game from the NFC West schedule restores order to the schedule around here, at least until the Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams play the Thursday night game.
With that, we pick up where we left off two weeks ago, with our weekly look at playing-time trends, slanted toward fantasy football:
Arizona Cardinals: The team used its four-receiver package extensively, creating additional opportunities for rookie wideout Michael Floyd (31 snaps). Arizona had fewer options than usual in its 24-21 victory over Miami. Tight end Todd Heap was out. So were running backs Beanie Wells and LaRod Stephens-Howling. Another back, Ryan Williams, wasn't part of the no-huddle package Arizona likes to use with Kevin Kolb at quarterback. I do think the Cardinals will make a stronger effort to get their ground game going at St. Louis. Wells' absence until at least Nov. 25 does make it tougher for Arizona to pursue a traditional power-run game, however. Wells had 228 yards rushing at St. Louis last season. The game at St. Louis could provide a breakout opportunity for Williams. With Heap out, second-year tight end Rob Housler played 60 percent of the snaps. He made two key receptions, slipping behind Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby for a 33-yarder on one of them.
St. Louis Rams: All five offensive linemen played every snap for the Rams, a welcome development after shuffling linemen regularly through three games. The decision to activate rookie receiver Brian Quick (14 snaps) and the newly eligible Austin Pettis (seven snaps) sent veteran Steve Smith to the bench. Quick made a key 19-yard reception, enough to create reasonable expectations for continued playing time. Running back Steven Jackson played 77 percent of the snaps even though a groin injury prevented him from practicing. Can he play an extensive role against the Cardinals on a short week? That seems like a difficult turnaround for him. The Rams will want an experienced back to counter Arizona's highly effective inside blitzes, but rookie Daryl Richardson could play more against the Cardinals. Tight end Lance Kendricks played 90 percent of the snaps.
San Francisco 49ers: Constant shuffling of offensive personnel cost snaps for tight end Vernon Davis, who entered the game with an injury. Davis played 85 percent of the offensive snaps. Quarterback Alex Smith also played 85 percent. Backup Colin Kaepernick performed well enough in relief and in a specialized role to justify additional playing time in the future. Michael Crabtree (56 percent) and Mario Manningham (44 percent) were the primary receivers. Kyle Williams and Randy Moss played 31 percent apiece. Nine players carried the ball for the 49ers, but Frank Gore still got 21 carries and 23 total touches. There were enough to go around. Kendall Hunter ran more effectively overall.
Seattle Seahawks: Sidney Rice (82 percent) and Golden Tate (74 percent) are clearly the top two receivers. Doug Baldwin (39 percent) has not shown as well as anticipated. That could be because injuries have limited his practice reps. Braylon Edwards got only five snaps as Seattle played without the injured Charly Martin. Running back Robert Turbin got 10 snaps and showed he was worthy of them. Resting starter Marshawn Lynch (44 snaps) periodically becomes much easier to do if Turbin is going to run the way he did Sunday. He's quick and powerful. Lynch is still going to get his carries, of course. He was dominant Sunday. Leon Washington (three snaps) will have a tough time getting on the field.
Programming note: I'm staying in Arizona for several more hours and will attend Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt's news conference before heading to the airport.

"By the time I met my wife I actually said to myself, 'Well, monogamy, I haven't tried that yet'" … Jason Alexander. Photo: Snapper Media
Jason Alexander
Actor, married, 53
I have always looked upon women not only as equals but, if anything, as a source of real power. In a large part, that's due to my mother Ruth, who's now 93 and still hale and hearty.
My mom did not marry my father, Alexander [Greenspan], until she was nearly 40, and she did not have me until her early 40s. She was a generation older than most of my peers' parents, so she had a stricter, more formal, code of conduct. There was a way you spoke, and a way you behaved, and I was expected to conform to those restrictions.
Mom was a trailblazer in the field of nursing and the major breadwinner. She was very strong-willed, and had a selflessness due to her profession. She passed that on to me, or insisted that I understand it. If I had to say anything negative about her it would be that she could be very unbending. There were many times when she and I had real differences. I wasn't really a rebellious teenager, but I would sometimes have to put my foot down and say, "No, you are not going to change my mind or my behaviour."
Mom set me up beautifully for my wife, Daena, because she set me up with the understanding that there is no such thing as a gender gap or a weaker sex. Women were absolutely my equivalent. If I'd had any attitude towards women other than that I would not have lasted one minute with Daena, who is very much a feminist today, but was almost militant when we met.
I was an extremely shy, introverted child. There was a fair amount of bullying that went on around me. Girls were my pals. They were the ones who got me, who looked after me and were gentler to me. It took me well into adulthood before I would allow a man to get close to me in a friendship.
Without going into horrid detail, my teenage and college years were in the '70s, and it was a very active sexual period to be a teenager. When I was in college I was associated with some people who were exceptionally sexually open, so by the time I met my wife I actually said to myself, "Well, monogamy, I haven't tried that. It could be different."
Sexually speaking, I feel like a lot of the stuff that are the things of fantasy, I kind of swept them out very young, maybe too young. But three decades into my marriage I don't sit around going, "I wonder what that would be like," so it set me up well.
I was almost 21 when I met Daena and we married when I was 22. We met in the only situation where the power was all mine and, frankly, the only situation where she ever would have agreed to see me at all. I was working in a casting office and, though she's now a very talented painter, she was then an actress. You can draw your own conclusions [laughs]. That kept me in the game with her.
She's beautiful still but was extraordinary-looking in her 20s, and she is 11 centimetres taller than me, so I was not what she was looking for. She was dating guys who would be considered leading men, not character actors. She's not a shallow person, but I would not have been somebody who would have held her attention normally.
Daena has undoubtedly influenced me. As I became more successful in my career [in TV shows like Seinfeld], the fact that she was not impressed with the trappings of success is a large part of what has kept our lives and our marriage so successful.
I never bought into the fantasy of show-business success. Most of my friends are not in the business. We've been blessed with financial success but we have a house, not a mansion. We have simple cars, no outlandish clothing or jewellery or artwork. And Daena made sure our sons [Gabriel, 21, and Noah, 17] were raised with the understanding that the way they are treated with me when we're out is a complete delusion. It's a tricky thing for a kid to learn.
Mothers and fathers play absolutely different rules as parents and I guess they are gender-based. I've found a lot of my role has been in counterpoint to what my wife is doing, although we agree on how we raise our kids. I find that in the areas where she is most lenient, I tend to most stern and rigid, and vice versa. My focus has been making my kids more prepared for the world outside of themselves and Daena's has been making them more comfortable with the world inside of themselves. That's never been discussed, but it seems to be where we are most comfortable.
Jason Alexander will be performing his one-man show, An Evening with Jason Alexander and His Hair, in Wollongong on July 19, Sydney on July 20 and Melbourne on July 24-27.

An alumna of Christendom College asks if being an "American Catholic" is now an oxymoron in an article on Human Events.
Sarah Halbur, the valedictorian of Christendom's graduating class of 2013, argues that the Obama administration's HHS mandate threatens to force her to violate her Catholic Faith by having a health insurance plan that includes coverage of abortifacients, contraception, and sterilization.
She writes:
As a Catholic who seeks to live in accord with my faith and the teachings of the Catholic Church, I believe that abortion and other anti-life measures are wrong. Many other Christians also believe as I do. However, any American who objects to paying for insurance that includes abortion will be forced to comply or be penalized…
Non-profit organizations are also subject to the HHS mandate—non-profits such as the myriad Catholic organizations that fill many needs of American society. Thousands of Catholic schools offer quality education for our children, saving the government millions of dollars each year. Hundreds of Catholic hospitals provide medical care for the sick and dying. I can hardly begin to imagine the negative consequences that our country will face if these organizations are all forced to shut down because they cannot afford to pay millions of dollars of fines to the government each year…
As a Catholic, I sincerely hope that the U.S. Supreme Court [will] rule in favor of religious liberty. And as an American, I hope that my pride in our country's freedom won't be trampled.

What a load clearly another Shumi here when it comes to win at all costs. He new it and figures that he is entitled to it, just like Australia when he was pissed that Mark was in front and stated to have him move out of the way cause "he is too slow". Funny but now we know that he is a cheat and he figures that he might need the extra points in the long wrong, so cheat past Mark and oligopolies and everything will be ok.. What a crock Red Bull Just lost my respect as a team..

CamelBak Aventura Hydration Pack - Women
Capable daypack
I will admit, I have a bag problem. I can never get enough and can justify each one through some minute difference.
I picked up the Adventura last summer. Initially I used it for longer mountain bike rides. Due to the larger size it was a bit warm for that. However, as a hiking daypack this is a great piece.
The N.V.I.S backpanel is a huge game changer. Even on the muggiest of days it allows a breeze to get to your back. I have hauled camera gear, tripod, extra jackets, hydration bladder, snacks, stove and jetboil and other tools on several hikes through the early Fall and Winter with this pack. It has performed very well in warm and cool temps. During a cold, rainy hike in October my camera equipment was kept dry even in the absence of a raincover.
One of the most comfortable hydration-compatible pack I have used.
I would buy it again and again.
Love my CamelBak
Fantastic product and I love how much room I have for keys, food, etc. I've already used it a dozen times.

|Stone marks baby's resting place 109 years later
By Jan Rahn
Managing Editor
An act of kindness gives identity and meaning to a small gravesite at the Fairview Cemetery west of Grant.
After 109 years, a baby's grave in the Softley family plot has a permanent marker thanks to the generosity of the Don Softley family of Grant.
The small stone lacks information other than the year of the unknown baby's birth and death.
Softley said the child had no name, its gender is unknown, and it is unknown whether it was stillborn or lost its life shortly after birth.
According to Softley, the baby's grave at one time had a small metal marker. However, the marker was destroyed, perhaps due to its age and/or getting bumped by mowing equipment.
In researching family history, it was discovered that the infant's parents were Alfred and Cleo Softley. Alfred was a brother to Don Softley's great-grandfather.
Alfred and Cleo Softley left the Grant area around 1916 and moved to North Platte were he served as superintendent of North Platte Normal School. They then moved to Fremont and he taught at the Fremont Normal School and taught English literature at Midlands College.
He later served as a Representative in the Nebraska Legislature from 1935-37.
Softley said he was 13 when his own father died. He said he always noticed the baby's grave when visiting his family's burial site.
The newly erected stone more permanently links the baby to the family plot that has existed in the cemetery for many years.
Softley's great-grandparents homesteaded in Perkins County in 1888.
Local agent Dick Thurin arranged for the stone's placement by Sterling Monument toward the end of September.
Editor's Note: A biography on the baby's father taken directly from pages of the Blue Book of the Nebraska Legislature.
ALFRED SOFTLEY (Democrat). Twenty-seventh district. Member of house of representatives in 1935. Born in England, June 26, 1868. Came to Nebraska in 1885. Married Cleo Fauquet, August 26, 1890; four children. Attended public schools in England and Michigan. Received B.Sc. and A.B. degrees from Fremont college. Has taught in rural schools, served as county superintendent, and was Dean of psychology and literature at Fremont college. Is a farmer. Has been county surveyor, precinct assessor, secretary of Dodge county board of conciliation and president of Dodge county farm bureau. Is a member of Baptist church, farmers' union and A. O. U. W.

A new national report by the Lumina Foundation shows Washington's college-attainment rate is better than the national average.
But because there's not enough statewide detail, it's hard to know if this report merely shows Washington businesses have been very successful at recruiting well-educated workers who grew up elsewhere.
Nationally, Lumina reports that about 38.7 percent of adults ages 24-65 have a two- or four-year college degree.
"Overall, the U.S. attainment rate has been increasing slowly but steadily; in 2008, it was 37.9 percent, and in 2009 it was 38.1 percent," the report notes.

The goal of the private, Indianapolis-based foundation is for 60 percent of working adults to have a two- or four-year degree or other meaningful credential by 2025.
Washington's rate is significantly better than the national average. Here, 43.3 percent of working adults have a two- or four-year degree; in King County, it's 56 percent.
What the report doesn't show is the number of Washington students who go to college after high school. That's long been a worry for state educators, who say that Washington's college-going rate for young adults lags the national average.
The reason for the state's stellar showing on reports such as Lumina's is often a reflection of Washington's talent-importing machine. Businesses here are able to draw adults from other states — and countries — to work in booming high-tech companies, where a two-year degree at the very least is a must.
The Lumina report does show Washington falling behind national figures in some significant ways. Fewer than 19 percent of Hispanic adults in Washington, and 21 percent of Native Americans, have a two- or four-year degree. That's slightly below the national average for both those groups.
And many rural areas are well below the national average. Fewer than one-quarter of all working adults in Grant, Adams, Franklin and Yakima counties have a two- or four-year degree.

For me personnally it'd have to be Don't Pass Me By, as I love this song, than Savory Truffle, because it's kind of funny, and catchy, than Mr. Kite because it's very original, and than When I'm 64, which is only a good song, nothing to Beatles standards, but pretty good.
1 May 2010
I'm not sure about this comparison, but I'd say Mr. Kite is by far number one for me, followed by When I'm 64, Savoy Truffle and last and certainly least Don't Pass Me By. Sorry Ringo...
21 August 2009
I always liked the heaviness of Don't Pass Me By, being a bum-bah-bum-bah-bum kind of song. I like the higher chorus in Savoy Trufffle the most, when George goes up and it sounds like a reprimanding matron. BFTBOMK! is a great one as well, not one of my favourites, but I do like the vibe. And When I'm Sixty-Four is just endearing, especially with the little laugh and hoo! at the end.
So, in order of favourite to least,
When I'm Sixty-Four, Savoy Truffle, Don't Pass Me By, BFTBOMK!
Maybe- I don't know. They're all so different, why are we comparing these 4? They're a strange quartet.
3 September 2009
Right now, Savoy Truffle. Great lyric and groove and the horns are awesome! Ask me tomorrow and I may give you a different answer.
5 April 2010
I love them all! Don't Pass Me By took a while to grow on me. Yet for some reason, it always sounds out of place (even for the White Album). I'm not sure why.Does anyone else get that? I do like it regardless.
27 March 2010
When I'm 64 has to be first, 'cause it was one of the first Beatle songs I ever heard, and I'm wayy too attached to that song, I love it so much!
I like Savoy Truffle and Don't Pass Me By pretty much equally - the guitar and horns on Savoy Truffle are just so utterly satisfying; and the fiddling on Don't Pass Me By combined with Ringo's adorable, innocent voice makes it so great!
And Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! is decent, but it's not super memorable for me, you know?
Savoy Truffle and Don't Pass Me By are definitley favorites for me.
Savoy Truffle, o my gosh, the horns are amazing! And Don't Pass Me By is one of my favorite songs sung by Ringo, besides Yellow Submarine.
30 April 2010
When I'm 64. Savory Truffle. Don't Pass Me By. And Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
When I'm 64 has been a favorite of mine for a long long long time. Whenever my mom calls me this songs comes up. (Will you still need me will you still feed me when i'm 64! )
The more I learned who this song was for and what is was about I found it fun and fluffy.
Don't Pass Me By is a good song, but not a favorite of mine.
And Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! i don't like that very much. I don't quite understand what it's spose to be about.

I know what your saying, and I would agree, but Mr.Kite helped bring me, and my friend a little closer, now that's a memory too me. 🙂
27 November 2010
I like Savoy Truffle a little bit more than don't pass me by but not by much. the other songs i'd wouldn't compare i couldn't really choose if it is Within You Without You and A Day In The Life to choose between.
7 August 2010
25 November 2010
Why the song choices? Do they tie in together in some way I don't know about? I guess I'd rate them Savoy Truffle, When I'm 64, Don't Pass Me By and Mr. Kite.
1 May 2010
I love all the songs.
Savoy Truffle is cool funky song.It could be talking about sex or drugs but instead is about candy. Mhhhh……
Don't pass me by has one of the best intros ever and the country violin is great. Also the chorus is very catchy. "Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue"… I love to sing it.
Mr. Kite. John made this song to sound is as terrifying as circus is. I hate circus and I always imagine this song with the Yellow Submarine clown singing and some crazy clowns dancing it ballet style in the middle of the circus. Horrible. But I love the song.
When I'm 64 is a beautiful tune by Paul. I think it's very sweet.
13 September 2010
For me I'd have to rate them in this order: Savory Truffle, Don't Pass Me By, When I"m 64, and BFBOMK!
I like how Savory Truffle is talking about candy. And the horns on the song are also pretty sweet.
Don't Pass Me By has the best fiddle part ever. I really wish I knew how to play it on my violin. And Ringo's vocals are pretty nice on the song.
When I'm 64 is just a fun light song. One of my favorites to listen to when I'm in a really happy giddy mood.
I don't know why but BFTBOMK! never really stuck for me. I mean it's alright, but it's not one I really ever remember unless I hear the name or the acutal song.
4 July 2010
Savoy Truffle: Great style with distorted saxophones and the falsetto vocals. plus it's about candy.
...Mr Kite!: Always reminds me of a sort of scary circus, cool harmonium and bass lines. I like the Love version with the I Want You transition.
When I'm 64: Pretty good, the clarinets add a nice sound to it, as well as the minor sound in the bridges.
Don't Pass me By: it's ok, but not one of my favourites. kind of catchy.

Tribeca N.O.W. is a new initiative that recognizes creators of new online work (N.O.W.) aiming to discover, highlight, and celebrate the next generation of storytellers who choose to create and share their work in the online space. Tribeca Film Festival Programmer, Cara Cusumano, sat down with several artists/online pioneers as part of a series of talks hosted at the Apple Store in SoHo.
Members of the panel included Rob Michael Hugel, creator and star of "I Hate Being Single," Ben Sinclair & Katja Blichfeld, creators of "High Maintenance," and Natalia Leite & Alexandra Roxo of "Be Here Nowish."
Cusumano asked the creators where they wanted their work to develop. The answers revealed a similar theme. Television is the light at the end of the tunnel. Leite said, "I mean we would love to take our show to television. I think that would be a dream for us. We love being on the web because it's accessible... but we want to make this a more sustainable thing of being able to live off of our work."
Blichfeld said, "The draw of television is the money. There's nothing like it right now. There's not that kind of money happening for just a web series."
Cusumano then asked the panel if they had any advice for aspiring creators of original online content. Hugel said, "be specific... the most compliments I ever get about anything I make is when they're pointing out something that I thought in a little tiny crevice of my head was funny to me."
Both Sinclair and Blichfeld suggested that new artists should strive for patience and quality. Sinclair said, "Don't worry about numbers... You're primary goal is, 'is it good?' and would you watch it... At a certain point people confuse persistence or exposure with 'good' and that's not true."
Blichfeld elaborated on themes that the other artists touched on, saying, "Besides being truthful to what you know, like everyone is saying, wait until your ready to put something out... Waiting until something is complete and ready to release it."
Check out the clips from the interview below, and be sure to check back on iTunes shortly for the full podcast.

I need to migrate zimbra from version 4.5.6 on 5.0.18 (both are the open souce edition).
The old version of zimbra mail server is on ubuntu 6.06 LTS and I want to also upgrade server on ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I was reading a lot documentations about migration but I'm not completely sure what is the best solution for this migration. I've been installed new version (5.0.18) and everything working fine, but I'm not sure about backup and restore of mysql database, ldap, stores, indexes, configs etc.
Any suggestion or advice?
Thanks & Regards

Hi found below forum which describes not to use Spring hibernate template:
it says:
The HibernateTemplate isn't needed anymore since hibernate 3.0.1, since that release it became easier to plugin nicely to hibernate, before that spring needed some trickery, proxing and hackery to manage transactions, thread bound sessions and exception translation. Now with the newer versions of hibernate that isn't needed anymore, you still get all the nice stuff exception translation, session management etc. but without using any spring specific classes. Which imho is really nice it makes the use of spring even less obtrusive.
I used HibernateTemplate and Dao support, is it required to use these API in a new application?
Can I have latest some sample code to integrate Hibernate with Spring framework.
This style is similar to that of the Hibernate reference documentation and examples, except for holding the SessionFactory in an instance variable. We strongly recommend such an instance-based setup over the old-school static HibernateUtil class from Hibernate's CaveatEmptor sample application.
since many place we are using SessionFactory, which is the best way to get session since earlier i used HibernateUtil?

City Council meeting at Borough Hall last week to begin the decennial redrawing of district lines in Brooklyn, Bay Ridge civic activist Linda Orlando and Democratic District Leader for the 60th AD Kevin Peter Carroll advocated bringing the Towers of Bay Ridge, the 811-family Mitchell-Lama high-rises, into the 43rd District with the rest of Bay Ridge, rather than leaving them in the 38th District in Sunset Park.
More than 2,000 people live in the 30-story high-rises, at 65th Street and 4th Avenue.
Orlando, a longtime Towers resident, called on the Council to move the district line two blocks from Wakeman Place back to 65th Street, saying that she and her neighbors are as much a part of the Bay Ridge community as people living south of 65th Street, and should be represented by the same City Council member.
Carroll agreed, saying that Towers residents active in local civic and political organizations feel like the stepchildren of Bay Ridge.
Albany, which cut the Towers off from the rest of Bay Ridge, won't move the district line, he said, but the City Council should do what Albany wouldn't.
The Towers, a middle-class Democratic stronghold, were cut out of Bay Ridge by the Republican-controlled State Senate in the last round of redistricting.
