Hughes, Twins flattened in rematch with Bombers
Righty is tagged for seven runs after beating his former club in June
MINNEAPOLIS -- With the way the offense has been struggling recently, if someone would've told the Twins that Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka was going to set season-highs in both hits and runs allowed on Thursday night, the Twins certainly would've taken it.
Tanaka did just that, as he failed to register a quality start for the first time in 17 outings, but he still outpitched Phil Hughes, who was hurt by a pair of homers in the fifth inning and gave up a season-high seven runs against his former team in a 7-4 loss at Target Field.
"It would've been nice to take advantage of that," Hughes said. "But he probably pitches to the score after he got that lead. But he gave up a couple early and got a big lead, and that was it. So yeah, on a night in which he probably didn't have his best stuff, it would've been nice to able to get a win out of it."
Hughes, who pitched for the Yanks from 2007-13, simply couldn't replicate his solid effort in New York in early June, when he tossed eight strong innings to get the win at Yankee Stadium. Instead, the right-hander was roughed up for seven runs on eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts to get pegged with his fifth loss. It marked the third straight start that he's allowed at least five runs, raising his ERA to 3.95.
Hughes cruised through the first four innings with the Twins taking an early two-run lead. But it unraveled in the fifth, as Hughes served up a three-run homer to Carlos Beltran to give the Yankees the lead. Just two batters later, Zelous Wheeler connected on a solo shot for his first Major League hit.
Hughes was notoriously plagued by home runs during his seven seasons with the Yankees, but has fared better this season. He hadn't given up a homer since June 6 and entered with just seven homers allowed in 16 starts.
"The one big mistake of the game was the pitch to Beltran," Hughes said. "The other at-bats, I went hard-in, but I thought I'd try to get a ground-ball double play and threw a two-seamer away, but it caught too much of the plate."
The Yankees broke the game open with three runs in the seventh off Hughes. Ichiro Suzuki started the rally with a walk before Wheeler singled and Brendan Ryan brought home the first run with an RBI double with one out that knocked Hughes from the game. Left-hander Brian Duensing came in and gave up an RBI single to Brett Gardner and an RBI groundout to Derek Jeter with both runs charged to Hughes.
"He struck the first guy out, walked Suzuki, a base hit and a double and it was just like that," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The innings happened really quick to him. It just wasn't his best night. He didn't have his best stuff."
The offensive outburst by the Yankees helped bail out Tanaka, but he still picked up his Major League-leading 12th win. The rookie set season-highs by giving up four runs on nine hits, while also setting a season-low with three strikeouts.
"This outing was one of my worst ones this season as far as hitting the spots and making pitches," Tanaka said through a translator.
Minnesota got on the board in a hurry with Chris Parmelee extending his hit streak to 13 games with an RBI double in the first inning. They tacked on another run in the third on an RBI groundout from Kurt Suzuki.
After the Yankees took the lead with their four-run fifth, the Twins cut it to a one-run deficit with Kendrys Morales' RBI groundout in the sixth. Minnesota scored again in the seventh on an RBI single from Eduardo Escobar after Trevor Plouffe doubled with one out.
But Minnestoa was held scoreless over the final two innings by right-handers Dellin Betances and closer David Robertson with the two combining for five strikeouts. It snapped a season-high five-game losing streak for the Yankees and handed the Twins their eighth loss over their last 10 games.
"We put some good at-bats against [Tanaka] but he's tough," Gardenhire said. "But their bullpen was pretty tough, too."

Kim Jong-il
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I'm so ronery..."
Kim Jong-il (born Yuri Arsenovich Kim; 16 February 1941 – 17 December 2011; also known as Kim Mah-Jong, Kim Jong-Jerky and Kim Kardashian) was the supreme leader of North Korea (also incorrectly known as DPRK) from 1994 to 2011. He was also seen having tea with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein (who sold Kim diesel truck engines to power his missiles) He cheated on his father and founded the DPRK (Dear Princess Rose of Kamehameha) and finally led his father Kim Il-sung to death. During his long reign, the North Korean constitution was amended to refer to him only as the "Supreme Leader," the "Generalissimo," "Dear Leader," "His Excellency," "The High Holy," "The Almighty," "The Modern Adonis," "The Dragonborn," "Mr. Kim," and particularly "My PayPal." His leadership of the country ended on December 17, 2011 when he choked on a hot dog.
While lambasted for his seemingly harsh style of rule, those close to him have been reported to say he was a gentle man, soft spoken and modest to a fault. His greatest passions in life were the Hollywood film industry and his three children, Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-deux and Brad Jong Pitt. Kim Jong-il is actually the direct descendant of Confucius.
edit Early Life
Raised the eldest boy in North Korea's political dynasty, it was his father's hope that Kim Jong-il would quickly take to the idea of becoming Kim Il-sung's successor, should anything happen that would cause North Korea's immortal leader to perish. Much to his disappointment, Kim Jong-il took little interest in the family business, instead being drawn to the arts. While taking comfort that other Successful Leaders had had an early interest in the arts, Kim Il-sung allowed Kim Jong-il to satisfy his artistic urges while grooming his brothers to take power, should Kim Jong-il prove to be too much of a pansy for a leadership role.
Kim Jong-il explored many arts, but found himself especially drawn to Hollywood movies. He began filming his own movies at the age of 11 and was so thrilled with the response by the critics he showed the film to that he continued making movies for the rest of his life. Kim Jong-il still holds the record for the most North Korean Academy Awards won by a single person.
edit Ascension to Power
When Kim Il-sung's immortal life was mysteriously drawing to an end, he was still unsure about which of his sons should take up his position as North Korea's leader. Kim Jong-il was still pursuing his career in the arts, having made no rousing putsches in any beer halls like more promising young leaders had at a similar age. He was thus not considered a viable option. Kim Il-sung decided to send each of his other sons, Kim Jong-elle, Kim Jong-vous and Kim Jong-nous, on a secret quest in order to ascertain which of them was worthy of the position as leader of North Korea and future ruler of the entire Korean Peninsula!!! Sadly, none of the brothers returned from the quest alive.
Being Kim Il-sung's only remaining son, Kim Jong-il was expected to take up the iron throne when his father passed away.
edit Leadership Style
Kim Jong-il has been viewed over the last few decades as the dangerous and corrupt dictator of a suffering country, due to the refusal of the corrupt non-North Korean media to accurately portray the country's realities. This prompted Kim Jong-il's first ventures into film. 2001's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was a nationwide hit, winning Kim Jong-il his eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth North Korean Academy Award for writing, directing and starring as a determined North Korean Journalist who, with the help of a young hacker, exposes the reality of North Korea's high standard of living and quality of life to the rest of the world.
edit North Korean Academy Awards
Kim Jong-Il founded the North Korean Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1996. He remained the sole member of the academy from the time of its formation to his death. He has also won the majority of the awards. The only other person to win a North Korean Academy Award was James Franco for his performance in 127 hours. The Dragonborn Kim Jong-il was so astounded with the performance that he refused to make a single film that year that would compete with Franco's.

AnnaLynne McCord in a bikini
AnnaLynne McCord of 90210 took her death navel to South Beach this weekend with her boyfriend Twilight star Kellan Lutz. Granted, AnnaLynne is in a bikini, but is she really a celebrity? Or am I just playing God asking that question? I don't like to play God. Except that one time I turned my cat into a toaster.
Oh, nice. Pop Tarts are done.

A WOMAN from Bromsgrove has called the tour operator that sent her and her family on the holiday from hell "liars and cheats".
In summer 2009, Vicky Hatfield, 37, took what she thought would be a relaxing break at the Holiday Village resort in Sarigerme, Turkey with her partner and daughter. Her dream holiday became a nightmare when an outbreak of gastric illness hit both her and nearly 600 other holidaymakers staying at the resort.
"My partner became so ill that he spent the last two days in the hotel room being violently sick. He couldn't even keep fluids in, which was very worrying considering the heat we were in," said Vicky.
She explained that food was left uncovered and looked like it had been out for days and the pools were closed several times because there was excrement found in them.
"The maids idea of cleaning the room was picking up the used unclean towels off the floor and folding them back up. Cleanliness was not high on the agenda and more often than not I had to remove dirty cups and glasses out of the room."
Other guests complained of food being undercooked, reheated and reserved at later meals and public toilets being frequently dirty and without hot water.
Now, nearly five years later, Vicky has only just received compensation for the terrible ordeal she had to face.
"I'm fuming it took so long. First Choice ignored all of my letters and it was only by chance when I saw on the local news many months later that lawyers Irwin Mitchell had taken on the case for people and I contacted them to see if we could be added."
Irwin Mitchell secured a £1.7m settlement from First Choice for all the people who took legal action. They have now received damages of up to £25,000 each, the level depending on factors such as the severity and duration of any illness they suffered and the amount of any financial losses and expenses they incurred.
"It has made me worried about ever going on an all-inclusive holiday and I would never use First Choice again. I always tell people to avoid them too, they are liars, cheats and mis-sell to customers," added Vicky.
Hundreds of holidaymakers within the same group as Vicky suffered gastric illness with more than 100 men, women and children suffering from infections including Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, Campylobacter and E-Coli.
A number of guests required hospital treatment in the resort due to the severity of their symptoms and some of the holidaymakers who became ill are still suffering symptoms even now.
Suki Chhokar, a partner in Irwin Mitchell's travel litigation team, said: "Holidaymakers have a right to expect that all reasonable steps will be taken to protect their health abroad in hotels or on cruise ships. Our clients in this case have proven that failure to do so will not be tolerated."
A spokesman for First Choice said the company does not comment on settlements.

Quit says the introduction of smokefree dining is a good move for the health of restaurant patrons and staff - and would not result in losses to the restaurant industry.
Quit Executive Director Todd Harper says Victorian restaurants have no reason to be concerned about the economic impact of smoking bans in restaurants and dining areas, as the available research shows no negative impact on revenue.
'The only reliable data available on the economic impact of smoking bans on the restaurant industry comes from the US where bans have been in place for some time now.'
'The research available shows that hotel, restaurant and bar revenues have not fallen once they become smokefree.'
'In some cases the bans have actually resulted in increased revenue; for example, in California the laws appear to have been good for business, and in New York hotel sales increased by almost 40% after smoking bans were introduced.'
Mr Harper said the health of diners and staff was an issue the industry could not ignore.
'We need to remember it's not just diners who face health risks if smoking is not banned in restaurants.
'The introduction of smokefree dining will protect the health of thousands of hospitality workers.'
'No-one deserves to be forced to work in smoky workplaces, yet that is exactly what confronts most hospitality workers in Victoria.'
Mr Harper said studies have found hospitality workers face an increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness as a result of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in their workplaces.
'Introducing smokefree dining is the only way to protect the health of patrons and staff.'
'Given the widespread public support for the move and evidence from overseas, restaurateurs have no reason to be concerned about the impact on their business.'

I was looking at how to best do JAAS-based authentication in an OSGi environment, but didn't really find much useful material, so I'm sharing my findings here in the hope that others will jump in and add anything I may have missed.
Basically what I want to achieve is being able to run the following code unmodified in an OSGi bundle, and have the
login() call access the set of JAAS authentication services that are currently available in the OSGi environment. I should be able to deploy and undeploy such authentication services without any changes to this code or the configuration of the containing bundle.
LoginContext context = new LoginContext(...); context.login(); try { ...; // do something } finally { context.logout(); }
So far the best thing I've found is the JAAS support that Guillaume Nodet described a few years ago. If I understand correctly, the relevant code lives in Apache Karaf nowadays, even though also Apache Felix mentions it and Guillaume's original post refers to Apache ServiceMix. I've given up hope trying to identify which Maven dependency I should use to get this code.
However, the trouble I see with the ProxyLoginModule class, that seems like the core piece of glue in the Karaf JAAS support, is that it requires the login() call in the client code to explicitly pass the name of the bundle and the contained LoginModule class that are to be used for authentication. That breaks my expectation of zero code or configuration changes in the client bundle for adding or removing new authentication services. Also, it looks like only a single authentication service can be used at a time.
A more promising solution is described in a presentation that was apparently given by Stefan Vladov in the OSGi Community Event 2011. However, I couldn't find any references to actual running code that implements that solution.
Please share any relevant pointers or other information in the comments below!

ILKLEY Grammar School Year 7 students have been enjoying the study of many different religions in their Connect 3 lessons.
The study culminated in visits to both the Gurdwara Sikh Temple in Bradford and Bradford Cathedral. The visits included tours, talks and even sitar playing.
Chris Washington, Key Stage Leader, said: "The groups were fantastically behaved and enjoyed experiencing other faiths and their places of worship. These visits really bring religions to life for our students; they help them put all the pieces together from their RE lessons throughout the year."
Connect 3 is devised by and delivered by staff in the Humanities Curriculum Area for students in Year 7. Topics of a geographical, historical and philosophical character are taught in a variety of ways while continually emphasising the development of personal learning and thinking skills. While the RE groups visited the places of worship the students studying history were understanding and building castles and the students involved in the geography were building erupting volcanoes.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
IPv3.1416β is the IP numbering standard of the 21st century.
For many years, the Internet community has been pushed to move to IPv6 as the address space of IPv4 is getting exhausted. Even though IPv4 provides for about 4 billion of IP-addresses, this is not enough. Even the world population has exceeded that number and every person walking on the globe has the right to allocate at least 1024 devices with an IP-address to give it Internet connectivity, according to the Convention of Winterthur.
To make sure the human rights that are laid down in the Convention of Winterthur can be respected, IPv6 was invented, which provided a whole lot more of IP addresses than IPv4 did. However, after years and years of pushing people to move to IPv6, in the end must users stuck with IPv4, with the exception of a handful of nerds. At a certain point, the patience of the IPv6 engineers reached its limit, and they desperately looked for alternatives that might actually appeal to the general public.
In their attempt to make the new protocol more appealing, very unconventional means were used, like TV comercials with scantily ladies standing perkily in the rain, waiting for the rollout of the new protocol to happen.
edit Etymology
Paradoxically, the attempt to make a new IP numbering scheme more appealing to the wider public resulted in a name of the protocol that can barely be pronounced and that hardly has any appeal to most people. The origin of the word IPv3.1416β is somewhat obscure. In the IPv6 labs of the IETF, the following anecdote was made up by a spokesman who had to address a pesky journalist. Googling for the strings IPv7, IPv8, IPv9 etc. revealed, that many alternative projects had been started and finding a unique name for the new IP addressing scheme appeared to be nontrivial. That is why the name IPv3.1416β was chosen. The algorithm for choosing this name was very simple: Take a piece of a pie leaving out the decimal, like 3, 31, 314, 3142, 31416, etc., prefix it with 'IPv', suffix it with the German Eszett and make sure the result has 0 google hits after the decimal had been inserted again, which in hindsight did not need to be removed at an earlier stage after all. The reason to use pi as a basis for forming the name of the protocol is accidental: One of the engineers made a typo and wrote 'PI' instead of 'IP', and his colleagues thought that was funny. Once the name had been published in the internal literature, it was too difficult and costly to change it into a more reasonable name. The Eszett was added to make sure that both the Greek speaking people, who would interpret that as the Greek letter beta would accept the standard, as well as the German speaking people, who would recognize their Eszett.
edit Differences between IPv6 and IPv3.1416β
One of the outstanding differences between IPv3.1416β and its successor IPv4 and its competitor IPv6 is the fact, that it is far more ambitious: Whereas IPv4 and IPv6 leave the TPC/IP stack and the OSI stack intact, IPv3.1416β has as a side effect that it makes all 7 OSI layers and all 4 TCP/IP layers collapse into one single layer: the IPv3.1416β layer. One of the toughest problems with rolling out IPv6 was the fact, that many applications in the application layer were not IPv6 compliant. Making sure this highest layer collapsed into the lowest layers of the model, resulting in one single layer, eliminated this problem. There was no application layer anymore, so nothing needed to be fixed in that layer in order to be able to roll out IPv3.1416β. The designers of IPv3.1416β hoped, that the simplified model would appeal to the general public and make the rollout of the new IP addressing scheme more likely.
edit Simplicity of the Model
The addressing scheme and DNS setup of IPv3.1416β is far simpler than that of IPv6 and even simpler than that of IPv4. There is no distinction anymore between forward and reverse DNS as every network device that uses IPv3.1416β is configured with one single address: 314.159.265.358.097.093 and has the name node3141592653589793. Because of this simplified approach, no packets need to be routed and no networking is necessary anymore. As a result of this simple approach, the security of the IPvIPv3.1416β model is very high.
Critics hold that the simple approach of the IPvIPv3.1416β standard is not very practical. In their view, IPv3.x is actually a downgrade of IPv6. They think that it results in millions of stand alone computers with limited functionality. The most common response to this by proponents of the IPv3.1416β standard is, that at least this standard is actually adopted by the general public.
edit Defense of the One Layer Model
Proponents of the one layer model of the IPv3.1416β standard usually reason as follows:
- The OSI standard has 7 layers
- The TCP/IP standard has only 4 layers (3 less than the OSI standard) and also accounts for all facts and explains everything
- By extrapolation, the IPv3.1416β standard has only 1 layer (3 less than the TCP/IP standard) and also accounts for all facts and explains everything

Welcome to the Sexyloops Flyblog
May 18th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
While we're updating various aspects of the Sexyloops site, I've decided to launch Flyblog, which is really a flyfishing blog as opposed to a flytying one. (I know that will come as a relief to many people.. but there will be flies, and good ones). I'm doing some new funky fishing at the moment – well it's new to me anyway, and because it's new it's going to help me to keep a diary.
So this is the current situation. I was up at 4.30 am this morning, which will come as a complete surprise to everyone who knows me, especially when I tell you that I went to bed first. Armed with a small white rabbit zonker that I tied last night, fishing with a new mate of mine here in Hungary, called Peter. Now before you think I mean Peter aka Skeg, I don't, I mean Peter the Pig Hunter. Everyone here in Hungary is either called Peter, Adam, Balzac or Zoltan. In fact it's either illegal or you need special permission to name your child anything else. You can't name your child Zonker or Salmon for example, because those names are not allowed. I don't know why.
Anyway, here while living in Hungary, which will probably be for most of the summer, I have options to fish the Drava River, which is about 300m for Mancamp Latohead, and where I fished this morning. Here supposedly one can find big Asps, Barbel, Pike, Catfish, Chub and Sturgeon for all I know. Mostly I fantasize about catching big Asp, interspersed with big Barbel, for a change. I don't fantasize about catching Chub, although this morning a couple of Chub would have been welcome, especially – but not essentially – big ones.
As well as the Drava there is Lake Geykenyes, which has big Catfish (200lbs big), Pike, Asp and so on. I'm going to buy a season license to fish Geykenyes this week. Peter the Pig Hunter manages a small lake between Geykenyes and the Drava, it has a name but I have no idea what it is. We will call it Peter the Pig Hunter's lake. There are black bass on Peter's lake and the plan is to catch them all tomorrow because the Drava is extremely high and coloured at the moment. The Drava starts its journey somewhere in Italy and is snowmelt.
Further afield there is Lake Balaton, which is good for Asp and I also fish the Duna/Danube River upsteam of Budapest from time to time. Ok I have to get Tonio's FP ready for tomorrow, tie some Bass flies, get myself out of email-hell.
Cheers, Paul

Firefighters in Victoria's north-east are confident that containment lines will hold on Tuesday despite violent winds, but the bushfire near Violet Town could burn for weeks.
The fire at Boho has burned 1448 hectares; there are 130 firefighters on scene.
Winds are expected to reach 70 kilometres an hour on Tuesday, but a Country Fire Authority spokeswoman said firefighters in the area had spent much of Monday building containment lines and expected that the fire would be controlled.
She said the fire could burn for some time as it is in steep, dense terrain.
There will be a community meeting on Tuesday at 11am at the Violet Town Community Centre.
A watch and act warning is in place for the region, meaning residents should be aware of emergency vehicles and travel with caution.
The fire is still most active on Upper Boho Road and Sawpit Gully Road.
In Gippsland, a fire that started in Aberfeldy on January 17 is still burning, but is being controlled.
There is fire activity in an area from Donnelly Creek to an area north-west of Heyfield.
Most areas, including the towns of Walhalla and Licola, are accessible. An area north of the Thomson Dam is closed.

Build 'Bridges to Prosperity' in financial series
Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 2:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 2:10 p.m.
Are you interested in improving your financial situation and putting in the commitment and dedication needed to reach your goals?
What: Financial Fitness, the first phase of "Bridges to Prosperity," a three-phase program.
When: 6-8 p.m. June 26, July 10, July 17 and July 24.
Where: Catholic Charities, 1701 NE 9th St.
Cost: Free.
Information: Call 352-372-0294 or email email@example.com.
If so, then you may want to consider participating in the free Financial Fitness series, the first phase of "Bridges to Prosperity," a three-phase program to help families save money and reach financial stability and prosperity.
The next Financial Fitness classes will take place from 6-8 p.m. June 26, July 10, July 17 and July 24 at Catholic Charities at 1701 NE 9th St. "Bridges to Prosperity" is sponsored by Catholic Charities. Child care is provided and dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. before each class. To participate in the program, call 352-372-0294.
The Rev. James Dixon Jr., coordinator of "Bridges to Prosperity," said there are no requirements for participation.
"The only requirement is a determination to better your life and improve yourself personally and professionally," said Dixon, who also is pastor of Greater Faith Baptist Fellowship, which meets at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays at the Thelma Boltin Center.
Dixon said participants in the Financial Fitness phase will learn how to find extra dollars each month to save, create a spending plan, and avoid falling into money and credit traps.
And those Financial Fitness participants who are income eligible will have an opportunity to open an Individual Development Account, a dollar-for-dollar matched savings account that can be used for reliable transportation, better housing, education or owning a business.
Once the Financial Fitness series is completed, participants can take part in Phase 2, which is "Getting Ahead in a Just-Getting-By World," a 15-week series of personal development, planning and resource building workshops held from 6-8 p.m. Mondays, also at Catholic Charities. Dixon said the next Phase 2 classes are set to start in early August.
Dixon said those who participate in the Financial Fitness series can continue to have their savings matched in an Individual Development Account even if they don't sign up for Phase 2. However, Dixon said those who take all three phases of "Bridges to Prosperity" would benefit the most.
During Phase 2, Dixon said participants will dig deeper into the causes of poverty and how it impacts their lives. Dixon said participants will acquire life skills to help them get ahead and also map their own journey toward economic and career stability.
"Once you understand your situation, then you can see a way out of it," said Dixon, adding that "Getting Ahead" graduates then can advance to Phase 3, called "Circles to Prosper," which also is held from 6-8 p.m. Mondays at Catholic Charities. "Circles to Prosper" participants are matched with an "ally" to assist and support them to put their plan into action to achieve their economic and career goals.
Dixon emphasized the person who works with the participant is called an "ally" and not a "mentor" because the idea is to provide support, not to tell the participant what to do.
Dixon said residents considering taking "Bridges to Prosperity" may want to come to a class and observe to see if this is something they want to do.
Dixon said there are resources in place to provide assistance and to make the program more effective, such as the University of North Florida Small Business Development program, which provides individual counseling on topics that include how to start a business, how to get a business loan, and other topics.
"We have a network of resources," Dixon said, "and we all collaborate to be more effective for our program. We're trying to get people what they need, and we're constantly looking at ways to gain more resources."
Dixon said "Bridges to Prosperity" is a program that works.
"In all my years working and seeking the betterment for people," Dixon said, "this (Bridges to Prosperity) has been the most effective at meeting the needs of ordinary people."
Teletha Williams, a graduate of "Financial Fitness" and "Getting Ahead," said the program has changed her life for the better. Williams, who even established an Individual Development Account earmarked for transportation and college, plans to take Phase 3, "Circles to Prosper."
"This is an awesome program and I recommend it," said Williams, adding that she has been empowered to speak up and to communicate effectively.
Williams said the program has helped her in many ways, including getting help for her daughter who has special needs and getting her bank to refund money owed to her.
"I have gained confidence and I'm not afraid to speak up," Williams said. "I research now instead of taking somebody's word. I know my rights and I know what to say and how to say it. And that's very important."
Since its implementation in January 2012, Dixon said 160-165 people have participated in the program.
"If they're committed and follow the guidelines," Dixon said, "they will see improvement in their lives."

jamesu79 - Friday, June 12, 2009 - link
I would like to bring the spotlight to various issues regarding this product and some of it's siblings (zm850-hp for instance). It suffers from a quite extreme variant of coil whining / squealing. Some sort of electrical high pitch noise that just drives you insane. I found a good video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQa79pWC0OQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQa79pWC0OQ
This seems to happen with a lot of the newer graphics cards, especially Geforce 260/280/285/295 and Radeon 4850/4870X2 etc etc. It also produces the same noise when you scroll a web page or copy a file to your hard drive. In fact, any hard drive activity triggers the same sound, albeit at a lower intensity, but still very audible.
When I first got this power supply and noticed this I tried to get in contact with Zalmans support. They kept telling me that they had forwarded my messages to their supervisors who, during a period of 4 months, haven't e-mailed me back. Not even once. Even though i sent follow-up e-mails twice a week. Or they would tell me to send e-mails to this other set of addresses (support1,2,firstname.lastname@example.com), which never replied either. I did this 2 times a week for 4 months.
In other words, I was being completely ignored by their so called "support". They have been indefinitely postponing any type of resolution for this problem.
The issue gets worse when you realize that even if you RMA this product, since its a manufacturing fault; you would just end up with the exact same problem.
My honest recommendation to anyone thinking about buying this power supply would be to stay away. Or do very, very thorough research on if the rest of your PC components are compatible with this PSU in such a way that it doesn't generate squealing.
gwolfman - Thursday, July 03, 2008 - linkSo if this is supposed to aid in cooling, where are the temp measurements? I'm quite disappointing not seeing any. I feel cheated since that's what's so unique about this power supply and you don't even test it. Boooo! Reply
BlandooV - Monday, June 30, 2008 - linkWhat exactly does SLI and Crossfire guarantee you with a PSU? Also, I'm with MadAd...where do the heatpipes take the heat to that makes it more efficient than heatsinks alone? Reply
MadAd - Monday, June 30, 2008 - linkWhy? Just why?
Heatpipes only move the heat from one place to another, its still got to be dumped out of the system some how. Reply

Merman - Saturday, June 28, 2008 - linkTo quote your comment reply from the last PSU review:
[quote]I find Ripple/Noise also very important but since nobody said a word I thought I could leave the graphics out and just add a comment. I always needed quite some time for the ripple graphs. I will add at least the comments again in the future and new models I get will have the ripple graphs again... alright? It's just there are not many people actually understanding what this topic is about and we need to still keep it accessible. No worries, I am working 7 years with power supplies and had several product managing positions in several companies. I know it's an important topic :)
If you are not leaving out important information maybe its the editor??? The power supply reviews on this site have degraded to the point of not worth reading. :( Reply
Kanchenjunga - Saturday, June 28, 2008 - link"It seems to be the same as the Antec Quattro which we tested last year. We recommended at that time to go for the smaller version with 850W because the 1000W unit didn't really bring many advantages with it. We will see later on in the tests if things are the same with these two units today. Even though we have 10 to 15 amps more on the 3.3V and 5V rails, the combined power of the 1000W unit is not too far away from the combined power of the 850W version. With the six 12V rails the same, there we have just roughly 200W more with the 1000W unit."
Say what? It's not the same as the Antec Quatro which has only 72W of 12V power difference between the 850W and 1000W versions. And why do say the six 12V rails are the same when the label clearly says there is 240W difference?
Also which of these two models in the review did you test for the DC output graphs and which of the six 12V rails does your 12V rail graph show and why are your reviews increasingly useless?
anonymous x - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkcouldn't they make this giant thin smaller? My antec earthwatts 500 PSU, while delivering much less power, can actually fit in a micro-atx case without rubbing into my dvd drive. Reply
bob4432 - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linknot the one about the tps reports, the one about the fact that ~85% of the people using computers don't need more than a 400W quality unit? WTF is up w/ these 1KW units? hell, even 650W or higher?
i have a decent rig - e2160 @ 3GHz (swapping out to a e8400 soon as i need a bit more cpu for some 3d modeling appes), 3GB ddr2-667, 15k u320, 7.2k 7200.10, 3850 512MB gpu, gigabyte p35-ds3l, 3x80mm fans, a 92mm cpu fan and a few pci cards, and at idle this system pulls an amazing 95W, at full load using 2 instances of prime95 and gaming it maxes out at 185-190W according to my kill-a-watt. i am running it on a ~$10 antec EA 380 unit that works perfectly. if i had another pci-e plug i am sure i could run cf fine if i wanted to.
my point - these 1KW units are kind of a joke for the majority of us but yet you reviewers just love them. why not review what the people need and actually make a review that will help people, the vast majority of people? Reply
gwolfman - Thursday, July 03, 2008 - linkYou forgot to do you TPS reports? Did you get the memo? I'll be sure to get you another one. :) Reply
batpau19 - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkThey (ridiculously overpowered PSUs) *are* a joke, and yet I am buying one.
Acoustics, modularity, warranty, etc. are all there. When you look at lower powered versions or other models, you consistently lose at least one of these qualities.
Point me in the direction of the 350 watt power supply that has a 3-5 year warranty, modular cabling, and silent operation and I'm sold.
Problem is, the @5$hat PSU makers just don't do that sort of thing. Reply
hechacker1 - Saturday, June 28, 2008 - linkI agree. Even anandtech has used a kill-a-watt to determine actual load wattage.
I can think of a couple things:
1. People recommend exaggerated PSU's because cheap PSU don't actually live up to their marketing. Illegal, but how can you sue somebody for poor efficiency?
2. Maybe peak load can't be accurately determined from the PSU use of power. I can imagine a loaded system that might need 1000w only for a short second, before dropping to something more manageable.
I do wish that Anandtech would investigate the issue. I personally bought an expensive Enermax PSU a long time ago, 400w, and it seems to handle all the latest hardware without any problem. But the reason I bought it was precisely because it was highly efficient and actually delivered it's rated wattage. Reply
mindless1 - Saturday, June 28, 2008 - linkyet you don't need those things at all.
If buying a lower wattage PSU it often has fewer leads so you don't have many if any to get rid of by modularly unplugging them.
If it doesn't cost 4X as much, it's easy to overlook it not having a 3-5 year warranty.
Silent operation is not a good thing by itself. Operation in response to temperature is a good thing. If you don't have good case cooling it shouldn't be silent. If you do, many PSU are easily ran close enough to silent (close enough it is something else you hear rather than a PSU pointed to the back of the system). However, all else equal you do still have a valid point in that if a unit is engineered capable of a higher load that means higher thermal load as well, meaning lower operating temp thresholds at an even lower system load than it's spec'd for.
Perhaps more to the point, in response to what the prior person wrote about reviewing PSU more suitable for 85% of the users, you don't really need reviews for that. You can randomly pick one of several name brand PSU in the $40 range on sale or with a rebate and do fine for that sub-200W peak consuming system. No need to be really picky about one then so long as you don't get one with an exceptionally loud or short lived fan. Just don't try to cut wattage too much, that $40 range will get a 500W PSU and that affords more margin even if overrated than a same quality tier 350W would. Reply
bob4432 - Saturday, June 28, 2008 - linkguess the closest you are going to get is the antec ea series, but not modular. imho, for the price i would put up w/ the cables, but again, that is me. Reply
ahodge - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkhttp://www.mgecompany.com/xg/products_powersupplie...">http://www.mgecompany.com/xg/products_powersupplie...
This one has been around for a long time too.
I'm actually quite surprised that anandtech would mess up like this in an article. It's the first time I've noticed such a silly mistake like this. Usually you guys seem to really do your research. Oh well. Reply
bob4432 - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkmakes me wonder if they are doing these reviews just to get extra product and advertisers $$$ or us? sadly, i am kind of leaning further one way as not many need a 1KW unit.... Reply
zagood - Friday, June 27, 2008 - link"...and now we have the first and only power supplies with heatpipe cooling."

Not the first, and not the only. Reply
Turas - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkI mostly ike for how queit it is. I think they said at 500W it is only 17db. that is nice. If you look at a lot o the 5-600W power supplies they make a lot more noice as you get into the 400 + range. So even though the power is not needed it allows you to have a quiet machine since the power never really ramps up to the capacities. Reply
larson0699 - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkThis is definitely for the guy splurging on those 2 or 3 GTX280's.
But most of the systems I build use less than 200W at load.
At 25% load any PSU bites on efficiency.
I like Zalman's concept, though. Just wish they'd cater to the majority. Reply
Turas - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkI too am wondering if maybe you had a faulty switch or something. silentpcreview also did a review of the unit and in their testing they did notice a slight difference to the better with the sounds turned on. They focus mostly on the acoustic side of things and even have sound recordings.
I am glad to see to great reviews though from different sites. I think I am going to order one up now. Reply
czarchazm - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkMaybe the "noise suppressor" feature wasn't working correctly. Is there any way for you to query Zalman about it? Seems like a neat feature to include if it worked. Reply
JonnyDough - Sunday, June 29, 2008 - linkMaybe the label was just upside down? Can we test this theory somehow like maybe try the Rubik's Cube trick to see if it helps? :-) Reply

Gardner goes all out in solid day with bat
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Brett Gardner dove into first base to beat out an infield hit in Monday's game against the Orioles, and you could excuse the Yankees' bench for being uncomfortable at the sight.
Fortunately for the Yankees, Gardner bounced back up uninjured, but Gardner said that he heard from "a lot of people" about the dive into first base, which came less than 24 hours after the Yankees lost Curtis Granderson from their starting outfield.
"It's funny because I didn't get hurt," Gardner said. "You know, I've done it countless times. Let's get serious, I broke my thumb sliding feet first three or four years ago. It's a silly game. It's definitely not something I should have done. I'll work on not doing it anymore."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he was "not crazy" about Gardner's slide and planned to speak to him about it.
"The hard thing is, it's instinctual," Girardi said. "But no matter how many times you tell a guy, I mean, how many times do you think I told Bernie [Williams]? When they're hustling and playing hard, it happens."
Gardner did show a valuable part of his game in a third inning at-bat, dropping a beautiful bunt single down the third-base line against Baltimore pitcher Tommy Hunter. It was the second of Gardner's three hits on the day.
"I feel really good with it, and a situation where [the third baseman is] playing me back, it wouldn't have mattered if he was playing in, probably," Gardner said. "I'm just trying to stay in there, take my time, make a good bunt. It's something I plan on doing a lot of."

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago White Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia will have season-ending surgery on his left shoulder to repair a torn labrum, the team said Thursday.
Garcia was hurt diving for a line drive in the sixth inning against Colorado on Wednesday. DJ LeMahieu ended up with a game-tying double when Garcia didn't come up with the catch.
Initial X-rays taken at Coors Field were negative for fracture, separation or dislocation, but an MRI on Thursday at Rush University Medical Center back in Chicago revealed the tear in Garcia's labrum, the team said.
Garcia, 22, was hitting .267 with a .353 on-base percentage and two home runs, both in Tuesday's win over Colorado.
The White Sox recalled outfielder Jordan Danks from Triple-A Charlotte.

BRISBANE Feb 23 AAP - Queensland Premier Campbell Newman says the details of the contract signed by sacked Transport and Main Roads Director-General Michael Caltabiano were a matter for bureaucrats and he is restricted from commenting on it.
He was speaking at the Australia Day 2 initiative in his electorate of Ashgrove in Brisbane's inner north on Saturday.
Mr Newman has previously said he was originally keen on Mr Caltabiano's appointment, but he has refused to make any further remarks.
Asked by AAP if he had a hand in the contract negotiations, Mr Newman said those were matters for bureaucrats.
However, he did add that he had insisted that the payout figure in all contracts was reduced from four years to six months.
"We inherited that from the previous government which had a four years payout clause but we changed that when we got into power. We felt that was outrageous.
"Instead of getting four years pay Mr Caltabiano will receive about six months and that is what we intended when making the changes to save money for Queenslanders," he said.
Asked if there were any clauses in Mr Caltabiano's contract which prevented disclosure of any impropriety, Mr Newman said he was unable to answer that question.
He said there were privacy clauses in contracts which meant it would be inappropriate to comment.
It would also be inappropriate to comment on whether any other government bureaucrats had such protection in their contracts.
Mr Caltabiano has earned almost $200,000 since standing down on full pay in October.
He had been appointed within three days of the LNP taking power last March.
Mr Newman has refused to elaborate on why he had decided to end Mr Caltabiano's employment as of March 15.

PUPILS at The Ridgeway School have come out top of the class with more pupils achieving at least five A* to C grades than anywhere else in the town.
Results released by the Department for Education today show that 74 per cent of students at the school in Wroughton achieved at least five A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent, including in English and maths, in the summer.
On average, 52.7 per cent of pupils across Swindon achieved the same results, which was below the national average of 59.4 per cent.
Steve Colledge, headteacher of The Ridgeway School, said: "We are really pleased. It has been our ambition to exceed 70 per cent so it was a fantastic year.
"The staff have worked really hard, students responded and parents have been very supportive – together that has brought the results.
"We hope now we have broken the 70 per cent barrier that will be the norm. Our aspiration is to get to the 80 per cent mark now.
"I want to congratulate the students and hope those achievements give them the life chance they deserve."
Also performing above the national average are Commonweal School in Old Town at 60 per cent and Isambard Community School at 65 per cent. Following closely behind are Royal Wootton Bassett Academy at 58 per cent, Churchfields Academy at 56 per cent and Lydiard Park Academy at 55 per cent.
Keith Defter, headteacher of Commonweal School, said: "We are reasonably pleased with the results. All the evidence is that the students made very good progress. The English and maths results were well above the national average.
"In the two years prior to the 2012 results we were at 64 and 65 per cent so it looks like a bit of a drop. We had more boys than girls last year and the performance of boys nationally is significantly lower than girls.
"Just because there is a headline drop doesn't mean we were displeased though. We know what we need to work on."
A total of 2,259 Swindon students received their results in August. Some 76.8 per cent gained at least five or more GCSEs graded A* to C (up three percentage points), while the number gaining at least five GCSEs or equivalent graded A* to C including English and maths was the same as last year.
Coun David Renard, Swindon Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Children's Services, said: "I would like to thank our teaching staff for their hard work and congratulate all those who sat their GCSEs last year.
"Swindon has made great strides over the last few years in terms of educational attainment but these results show that other areas also continue to improve and our secondary schools need to deliver further improvements.
"Our young people will be competing in the global market place and they will need good skills in English and maths in particular if they are to achieve their potential."

The two best cars battled it out under the lights at Texas Motorspeedway Saturday night, with Martin Truex falling short in the final laps to Kyle Busch for the win.
The win completed a weekend sweep for Busch, making him the first driver to accomplish that feat in the speedway's April events. It also gives him more than 100 combined victories when you consider all three of NASCAR's series.
"I've got a lot to be thankful for and a lot of people to be thankful to," said Busch on his career stats. "Unfortunately, there is a guy named Jimmie Johnson out there that has absolutely murdered the stat book for the rest of us."
Fellow Toyota driver Truex had a car that could compete with Busch, but a late caution relegated him to a frustrating second place finish.
"The last caution came out and we got beat out of the pits and that was the race," said Truex on finishing second again at Texas. "I feel like we've been in this position a bunch of times. Just running second sucks, especially when you're that fast."
It has been a tough season for Truex and his team. Finishing second should be a boost in the arm, but it's still hard to accept.
"We've had a rough season so far as finishes go," continued Truex. "Finishing second is good. I'm not saying that's not the case. It's just when you've been so close to winning so many times since your last one, it really sucks to run that good and finish second."
It was a classic battle between the two Toyota teams, but Busch knew that if he could get in front when the final caution came out, he would have the advantage.
Fortunately for him, his pit crew broke off their best stop of the night, allowing Busch to exit the pits in first place.
"I felt like our car was a little bit better than his if I could get to the clean air," continued Busch. "It was good racing with him and it is cool to see the Toyotas running up front like that."
After missing the Chase last season, Busch and his No.18 team are in a great position to make the Chase in 2013 with two wins already in their pockets.
"Right now, obviously, winning two races so far this year, you'd say that's a lock," commented Busch on his Chase chances. "But anything can happen."
Busch has always been a streaky type of driver, and judging from his team's performance in the last few weeks, this could the year that he finally fulfills his potential.

Sometimes a story is too good to be true. And sometimes, we choose to believe it anyway.
This week, Lance Armstrong finally admitted to the truthfulness of accusations he faced throughout his cycling career. Armstrong was repeatedly accused of doping throughout his Tour De France whirlwind, but most Americans chose to believe him when he said he was no cheater.
The story was too good. Here was a cancer survivor turned champion, best-selling author and philanthropist. It's a classic American narrative. The last time people in this country cared so much about someone riding a bicycle E.T. was fleeing earth for home. Unfortunately, Armstrong's autobiography was as fictional as E.T.
It seems fitting the chickens would come home to roost for Armstrong around the same time that baseball writers chose not to put anyone on this year's Hall of Fame ballot. After all, they made that decision because it was the easiest thing to do when most of the possible inductee's played in the steroids era. Rest assured ... Armstrong won't be getting into any hall of fame either.
Then we have the weird story about Manti Te'o and his girlfriend (or something to that effect) coming to light just ahead of the Armstrong/Oprah ratings grab. When he shared the story of his sick lover who supposedly died of leukemia, Sports Illustrated and ESPN ate it up. It became college football's feel good narrative about a young man persevering through a difficult time. It was a great story. It also was not true. We don't yet know for sure whether the joke was on Te'o, the biggest sports organizations in the country, and then us ... or just on us. But there was, indeed, a duped party.
The thing about the Te'o situation is he report never should have made it off of an editor's desk at any organization. The work done by deadspin.com to expose this whopper of a tale is evidence enough of that.
My hope is these developments are signs that sports journalism still finds its way to the truth because box scores don't lie. They may not tell the whole story, but they create limits as to where the story can go. You can't go out and compete at a level much higher than you have in the past, or be a starting pitcher in your 40s without throwing up red flags. I guess sometimes the story is so compelling we choose to have faith rather than dig deeper.
ESPN and Sports Illustrated are certainly guilty of that here.

Groene at the Legislature: Holding NRDs responsible
Groene, colleagues short-sighted on NRD funds
More opinion
NFU urges smooth, transparent transition to Fair Trade framework
New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
Ian Galloway of North Platte is too young to understand that his road to treatments at Children's Hospital in Omaha every week might be blocked by an unreliable family car.
Selinger will perform from 7-9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites (southwest of 1-80 and Jeffers/Hwy 83.) Dessert will be served.
Selinger will perform for Ian at no charge, providing those who attend with family-friendly, top quality entertainment, said family friend Kathy Brasby.
My only request is that those who come, give generously to the cause, Selinger said.
The son of Jason and Melissa Galloway, 3-year-old Ian has neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic order that has given him brain tumors. He also has tumors squeezing his optic nerves, stealing his vision, Brasby said.
After diagnosis this summer, Ian and his family have driven to Children's Hospital in Omaha weekly for chemotherapy treatments, and they see progress in Ian's condition.
Tumors have damaged Ians balance, ability to swallow and his speech, but Brasby said he is making steady improvement in those areas with the treatments.
Doctors do not yet know if the treatments can restore his fading vision, but they hope to stop the damage to optic nerve, which might allow the nerve to heal.
Ian will have treatments every week for a year. Weekly trips to Omaha are made in the family car, which currently has 130,000 miles and blew an alternator a few weeks ago on a trip to Omaha, stranding them in York.
After an overnight stay in a motel, a tow-truck charge plus the cost of repairs, the family budget took a $500 hit, in addition to the usual cost of the trip.
The Aug. 24 fundraiser gives residents an opportunity to support Ian in his fight.
Illusionist Derek Selinger captivates his audience with a highly-energizing performance that engages the senses, mystifies the mind, and delights the eyes, his website says. During the 45-minute show, Selinger will perform some of his far-reaching, mind-blowing illusions on a smaller scale that everyone in the audience will be able to see.
With the power of technology (camera and projector), every person in the room will be able to see exactly what is happening as if it were taking place six inches from their nose, Selinger said.
Selinger normally does show, called Jazz Magic, exclusively for VIP guests with a backstage pass to his touring show, and for corporate VIP events, Brasby said.
Freewill donations will be accepted and are earmarked for a safe ride for Ian.
For a preview of the entertainer visit https://vimeo.com/28700481.
Nebraskaland National Bank as well as Bethel EV Free Church have established benefit funds in Ian Galloways name. Donation cans are also placed at local businesses.

Do any of you feel like you are blobs in front of a computer, sitting and starring at it all day. I mean you have to, to be able to ge good at programming. I never get exercise, i am always in front of the computer doing something at it.
Well after quitting smoking i gained quite a few pounds. I past my limit of "oh damn" and beyond. So i decided i have to do something about it. I started counting what i eat, traded in soda for water, and sometimes green tea. Just the past few days i have been walking my ass of. Like today i walked on 3 separate occasions, 3 miles each, 1 of those occasion being up this huge hill. Needless to say that will be the last time, lol.
But i mean really, I sit in front of the computer most of the day. And slowly gain up pounds after pounds after pounds. Does anyone else have this problem too.

Transport for Greater Manchester Cycle Challenge
Thousands of people across Greater Manchester are gearing up to put their pedal power to the test this month for the inaugural Cycle Challenge.
Part of Transport for Greater Manchester's bid to get more people cycling to work, the competition is free and pits local businesses and organisations against each other to see who can get most employees to ride a bike between 14 May and 5 June.
More than 100 organisations have already signed up to take part in the challenge, which is being organised for TfGM by CTC (National Cyclists Organisation) Challenge for Change, but even more are being encouraged to register before next Monday's launch.
Organisations of all sizes can take part and those that do will be in with a chance of winning some great prizes."
Councillor Andrew Fender, Chair of the TfGM Committee
Councillor Andrew Fender, Chair of the TfGM Committee, said: "The Greater Manchester Cycle Challenge demonstrates our commitment to encouraging more people to cycle to work and is something that everyone can get involved with.
"Organisations of all sizes can take part and those that do will be in with a chance of winning some great prizes."
Dave Newton, TfGM's Transport Strategy Director, said: "The challenge is fun, healthy, great for team building and gives people the opportunity to reconnect with cycling.
It doesn't matter if you are not a regular cyclist, the aim is to get back in the saddle and have fun."
Dave Newton, Transport Strategy Director for TfGM
"People only have to ride for a minimum of ten minutes and record it on the dedicated challenge website in order to enter the prize draw, and encouraging others to ride during the challenge qualifies participants for further prize draws.
"It doesn't matter if you are not a regular cyclist, the aim is to get back in the saddle and have fun."
Seamus Kelly, CTC Cycling Development Officer, said: "We are delighted to be working with TfGM to support cycling across Greater Manchester. The challenge is a great way to encourage more people to get out on their bikes and to remind them that cycling is good for them, good for the environment and good for their wallets."

Saint Leo, Fla. (March 15, 2007) – Senior centerfielder Christina Van Tassel (Valparaiso, Fla.) went a combined 5-for-6 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored to help the Saint Leo softball team (15-11) stretch its winning streak to seven games with a doubleheader sweep of visiting West Liberty State College (1-12).
The Lions won game one 14-0 in five innings before completing the sweep with a 10-1 win in another five inning contest. Saint Leo has now won 12 of its last 13 games.
Saint Leo also had big days from Ashley Urbanik (So., Riverview, Fla.) and Alison Flynn (Sr., Miami, Fla.). Urbanik was 3-for-5 with five RBI, a homer and two runs, while Flynn was a combined 4-for-6 with five RBI, three doubles and four runs scored.
Urbanik was the winning pitcher in game one, as she allowed just one hit in the five inning shutout victory. The sophomore improved to 10-6 with the win. Kiki VonHolt (Jr., New Port Richey, Fla.) then went the distance in game two, allowing one run on four hits to even her record at 5-5.
Saint Leo will host Albany State University in a doubleheader tomorrow at University Field. Game one will begin at 5:00 p.m.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saas) has told believers of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and stated that all Muslims must join this holy individual when he does so:
O People, certain it is that Almighty Allah has forbidden you the oppressors, the hypocrites, and those who follow them, and has made Hazrat Mahdi (as), the most auspicious of the community of Muhammad, he who is in Mecca, whose name is Ahmad, son of Abdullah, your leader. Join him.(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 31)
Nonetheless, the great majority of people will fail to recognize this holy personage when he first makes his appearance. Some people will even be totally mistaken, will avoid supporting him, stay away from him and engage in negative activities against him.
There are many reasons for the failure to recognize this holy person whom all Muslims have been awaiting with great excitement down the centuries. Some of these may be listed as follows in the light of the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) and of statements by great Islamic scholars

Everything was great, loved our room, access to the garden and breakfast especially all was great!
breakfast and location all was great!
This Bed and Breakfast is new and very well taken care of. we had a private bathroom in front of the room like a real Bed and breakfast and a computer inside the room, they also have bathrooms within the room. everything was ok
Everything was great, loved our room, access to the garden and breakfast especially all was great!
breakfast and location
We had a very comfortable, light and clean room in the BnB, which is very well located in the center of Valencia near the shops, sights and a very nice neighbourhood with a lot of nice restaurants (both for tapas as for Italian and fusion food). The staff was very kind and helpfull; they both speak english very well and one of them speaks Dutch. All together, it was a very pleasant stay.
Very friendly staff. They answered all our questions. Very nice location in the centre of the town. Very nice room with a lot of extras.
Large spacious room with aircon which was a godsend during a v. hot w/e. Helpful host and staff. Building full of character. Received a further discount for scaffolding which was appreciated. Breakfast v. basic and staff not great at preparing English tea!
Excellent. This is genuinely the best B+B I have EVER stayed in. Perfectly located for centre, City of Science and station. Very very nicely designed, great breakfast, great staff. Cannot recommend more highly. Thanks guys!!
Our experience with ABC BNB was great. The hotel has additional lodging two blocks away which seemed odd to me at first but the rooms were big and spacious. Like some hostals, there was a shared bathroom but we shared 3 large bathrooms with only five other rooms. Our stay included breakfast in the main location which was set up nicely in their small cafe and a had a good selection (cereal, yogurt, toast, jam, coffee, cheese and ham). The staff was very friendly and helpful (we got lost trying to find the hotel and the hotel clerk kept calling us back to make sure we would find our way). The price we paid was a bit more than we would have liked for a hostal, but it may have also been because of a local event taking place that filled all the neighboring hotels and inflating room prices. It was the best price we could find for last minute and under these circumstances.
staff very helpfull and friendly breakfast area too small

Baselayer warmth with compressive benefits
The 2XU Women's Long-Sleeve Thermal Compression Top gives you the baselayer warmth you need with the benefit of compression to fight early muscle fatigue and speed in your recovery.
Compression tops are made to hold close to the body like a second skin, but certain parts of the body need more compression than others, which is why 2XU uses a graduated compression fit for the Thermal compression Top. A graduated fit puts compressive pressure throughout the base layer, focusing a higher amount of pressure at the extremities, gradually decreasing towards the heart. This engineering of fit increases circulation, which increases oxygen delivery to your muscles, and the removal of waste products
The raglan sleeves eliminate seams over your shoulders, to reduce chafing and provide a full range of motion. 2XU uses soft, brushed, PWR FLEX fabric throughout the baselayer for optimal warmth. Moisture wicking elements throughout the material keep your skin dry while the PWR fabric regulates your core body temperature.
The 2XU Women's Long Sleeve Thermal Compression Top comes in Black and is available in four sizes, Small through X-Large.

Shleby Twp., Mich. - More than a dozen fire departments -- including Utica, Washington, Sterling Heights and Warren -- assisted the Shelby Township fire department early Saturday morning at a fire in the Shelby Manor Senior Housing.
It started about 7 a.m. in unit B in the complex, which is off Lakeside Boulevard.
And with the elevators down -- some seniors had no way out.
Lowell Markus says he was worried about his friends in the building.
"It's terrible with wheel chairs, walkers and canes. It's a lot of problems," Markus said.
Shelby Township Fire Chief Jim Swinkowski says he called in ladder trucks from other departments to help get the seniors off the balconies to safety.
He says everyone made it out with no serious injuries.
"It's great. Somehow people come together during an emergency," Swinkowski said.
All the residents of Unit B gathered at the community hall at the complex where emergency officials kept them up to date with reports of the damage.
Most of the damage was contained to an isolated area but firefighters say there is water damage throughout the building.
"Because of the nature of the resident population. We couldn't verify if someone could get to the door or not. Every single door has been broken," Swinkowski said.
The fire remains under investigation.
The Red Cross responded Saturday morning as well to the Shelby Manor Senior Apartments in Shelby Township
Over 30 families were affected by the fire and will be displaced for some time.
The Red Cross is providing assistance for approximately 20 families affected by the fire at this time. In a response like this the Red Cross provides food, clothing and shelter to those who are in need.
The Red Cross is prepared to assist more residents as they return to the apartment complex.
"At this time we are assisting the residents who have been affected by the fire at the complex now. As people return, they will be directed to the Red Cross if they need assistance." said Toyia Yancey, Emergency Services Specialist at the Red Cross.

Everything is working down to the update query. I have the userid, I have the password, and then nothing happens.
if ($p) { // If everything's OK.
echo $u.'
'; echo $p.'
'; ?this echos the correct information
// Make the query.
$query = "UPDATE users_tbl SET pass = SHA('$p'+'salt') WHERE user_id='$u'";
echo $query; echo '
';
$result = mysql_query ($query) or trigger_error("Query: $query\

MySQL Error: " . mysql_error());
if (mysql_affected_rows() == 1) { // If it ran OK.
// Send an email, if desired.
echo '
Your password has been changed.

Return to home
';
$query3 = "UPDATE users_tbl SET chng_pass=('no') WHERE user_id='$u'";
$result3 = mysql_query ($query3) or trigger_error("Contact site administrator");
} // end of the if it ran ok conditional
} // end of the if ($p) conditional
I get the echo of userid and password. I get the echo of the query. The password does not change.
I suspect I have done something stupid, but I cannot see it.
$result = mysql_query ($query) or die(mysql_error());
and see what the error message is.
echo $query;
Similarly, copy and paste the output of that directly into your database and see what messages you get.
i'm going to guess that your problem is here --
in mysql, you are not allowed to add two strings
Thanks. I suspect I now have to go through all me code and locate every location that I did a $p+salt and modify that code.
I added a line of $ps=$p.'salt' and changed the MySQL to fit that and it worked.
Crikey, I bet you wish you had centralised that particular piece of code then ...
[quote="CSU_Bill,post:5,topic:94959"]I added a line of $ps=$p.'salt' and changed the MySQL to fit that and it worked.[/quote]or you could just do this --
SHA(CONCAT('$p','salt'))
Cups - Yes, but when I started this project, I didn't know very much at all. This has been a major learning project and now that I am about finished, I will go through and centralize the code. I did know enough to do that with the database log-in information and a log-in verification.
r937 - cool. I will give that a test tonight when I get home to my computer.
@CSU-Bill the good lessons are the hard lessons.
@Cups ouch!!!
You are so correct. But, the information gained this way is likely to stick for at least a day or two.
Well, hopefully they stay with you all your working life!
I think a lot depends how quickly you find a dependable solution you should have adopted, and whether you take the time/trouble to refactor your code -- well with me it does, but I am aware of my own shortcomings -- many people just learn the lesson and move on, I have to really etch it on granite before it sticks.
I now have commented out all of my testing echo statements, and verified that it all works. Now I start learning how I should have been writing the code.
I used the SHA($p+'salt') three times in this project. Twice was changing the password and then once verifying the password during log-in.
How would I centralize this code?
Only 3 times? Don't over-worry about that then.
The general rule I am aware of runs something like this:
If you write something you already wrote somewhere else, wince, but ignore it and carry on.
If you then write it again -- seriously consider going back and writing a function/class/include that does this work.
From what you said I guess you are setting/resetting a password.
Not thoroughly sure, but perhaps you should be looking along the lines of accomplishing this in your user-land code.
include 'setpassword.php';
if( setPassword($u, $p) ){
// emailConfirmation(); //?
Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction. I should have me code cleaned up by the end of this weekend and move on to some of my wife's honey do list.
