Top 10 Most Romantic Celebrity Couples for Valentine's Day
From Barack and Michelle to Ellen and Portia, these celeb couples make us go "awwww!"
-Lucia Peters
Ah, love! It can't be easy to be a celebrity couple; every aspect of your relationship is constantly being scrutinized by the general public, the Paparazzi are always on your tail, and you're so busy that "date night" may as well not exist anymore. In spite of all this, though, there are a whole bunch of celebrity couples who totally keep the romance going, and it's clear just by the look of them that they're absolutely in love. So in honor of the rapidly approaching Valentine's Day, here are the top 10 celebrity couples that make us go "awwwwww!" every time we see them together. All together now: Awwwwwwww!
1. Barack and Michelle Obama
Oh, these two. They are just too awesome. They met while they were both working at the same law firm; Michelle was assigned to mentor Barack as a summer associate. One thing led to another, and soon they were having their first date: A trip to the cinema to see the Spike Lee film Do the Right Thing. They married in October of 1992, and they've only continued to do great things since then. Perfectly matched? We think so.
2. Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford
Dame Helen and director Taylor Hackford have been married since 1997, and they had been together for 12 years before then—talk about longstanding! They met when he directed her in the 1985 film White Nights, though apparently the first meeting didn't go well: He kept her waiting during her audition, and she turned icy in response. It's a good thing she got over it, because although Helen had vowed as a young woman never to marry, she hadn't counted on Taylor coming along.

3. Prince William and Kate Middleton—er, sorry, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
Like the Obamas, William and Kate are a great team, politically speaking; and even more importantly, every time we see them together, they look completely and totally in love. We're trying to resist making the "it's a fairytale come true" comment, but I mean, come on. It IS a fairytale come true. And a modern one, at that!
4. William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman
Did you see what these two did at the Golden Globes? Did you? Because if you didn't, you kind of need to. Here:
5. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
Whether telling stories of their adorable twins or being the cover couple for Out mag's love issue, these two make us melt. They also handled being outed in 2006 with grace and panache. That's the way you do it, folks. By the way, we still really want to spend the holidays with them. Can we? Please?
More adorable celeb couples, including Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, up next!

ATLANTA (AP) — George Washington's personal, annotated copy of the Constitution will be on display beginning Friday for a limited time at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library & Museum in Atlanta, part of a traveling exhibit among the 13 presidential libraries.
The book, known as "The Acts of Congress," is considered among the most important items owned by Washington and includes handwritten notes and brackets around certain passages of the Constitution, particularly Article II, which outlines presidential duties and powers. It was purchased last summer by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association for $9.8 million at auction, considered a record for an American historical document.
Carter Library Director Jay Hakes said the book is in remarkable condition and provides an important glimpse into the early beginnings of modern democracy.
"He had to invent government as we know it today," said Hakes. "This is really a first guide to American government."
The Carter Library has chosen to display Washington's book, which also includes the proposed Bill of Rights and a record of acts passed by the first Congress, with a copy of Carter's "The Duties of the President of the United States." The Carter book, which he received while in office in 1979, includes every mention of the president in federal law as well as all the laws passed from 1975 to 1979. The Washington book is about an inch thick with 106 pages, while the Carter book spans 1,483 pages.
"It's a visual illustration of how much the presidency has grown," Hakes said. "It's a different office today but this is where it all started."
The book was the result of an early custom by Congress' official printers to prepare bound copies of new laws. The books were presented as keepsakes to prominent officials of the early government, including Thomas Jefferson and John Jay. Washington received the book in 1789, his first year in office, and brought it home to his Mount Vernon estate in 1797.
The handwritten notes are faint and include the words "President," ''Powers" and "Required." His signature marks the title page. Hakes said the fact that Washington made notes and highlighted key sections demonstrates his commitment to understanding his role.
"He had no model to work from," Hakes said. "This shows us that he was closely studying and eager to understand."
The exhibit has already traveled to presidential libraries in California, Michigan, Kansas, Texas and Massachusetts through a partnership between the National Archives and the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. After the tour is concluded in September, the book will be on permanent display at The Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, which is being built at the Mount Vernon estate.
The exhibit at the Carter Library ends June 24.

BOLTON funnyman Peter Kay is reported to be bringing back hit sitcom Phoenix Nights next year.
The comedian is said to be in talks to perform seven live shows for of the comedy, based in a fictional working men's club in Farnworth, for Comic Relief.
One of the live shows will be televised, a national paper has written, while Mr Kay will then do promotional work for his return to the small screen.
The show gained cult status after running for two series in 2001 and 2002, as it followed the life of wheelchair-bound club owner Brian Potter, played by Mr Kay, as he tries to make the venue the most popular in Britain.
Mr Kay, who switched on the illuminations in Blackpool last night, also confirmed he will make a rare live appearance at the Blackpool Opera House for a question and answer session on Saturday, November 15, in aid of Salford Women's Aid Domestic Violence Refuges.
The 41-year-old said: "A friend of mine works for Salford Women's Refuges, which unfortunately is greatly overlooked as a charity.
"After hearing the shocking statistics and discussing the invaluable work they do I felt it was crucial to try and raise some much needed funds so they can continue offering vulnerable victims, including children, help when they need it most.
"If I can put on a special night that helps benefit the charity in some way and have some fun in the process, how could I pass on such a good opportunity?"
Fans will be invited to submit questions in advance, as well as vote on their favourite Peter Kay clips which will be shown on the night.
Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, September 2 at 9.30am from www.gigandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.

I am new to web development and I want to start developing websites what are the best web development tools I should be using to develop my websites.Thanks
Notepad++. No need to get "fancy" with things like Dreamweaver. Anything that precodes stuff for you is usually bad code.When you get in to server side programming such as PHP or equivalent, you may want to look into Eclipse.
There are no real "best" tools, just those that suit your need. There are lots of good code editors, FTP clients, graphics editors and so on, but really, the tools for web design are very simple.
Web development is the most crucial process of enabling a website.It is the process of providing interactivity and enabling navigation between the web pages.The most important web development tools are PHP, Dreamweaver,j Query and Ajax.
Why would you say that? I would say that the most important web development tool is HTML. Without it, we wouldn't have a web at all. However, I don't look at any programming or markup language as a 'tool' just as I don't look at spoken language as a tool, although perhaps all are in a very broad sense.
I also wouldn't add proprietary WYSIWYG's as important tools to Web Development, especially since the advent of many, many free web development platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, ModX and others.
Notepad++ seconded.For graphics, I use PhotoImpact X3, FastStone Capture, Colorpic, and Colorschemer.If you want to learn CSS and HTML, I strongly recommend the book 'CSS: the Missing Manual', that's how I learnt. I'd read a few other CSS books before, they were rubbish (and expensive, and much smaller than CSS: the Missing Manual).
I use Dreamwear MX to coding and designing. And I use FTP Cutepro to upload files to server. But I recommend that you should use Wordpress templates. There are a lot free templates on Wordpress. They're easy to use and custom coding. Have fun
No (unless you are coding it by hand), Ok, and No (unless again, you are coding it by hand).
find your self a good template and use Dreamweaver it is really nice..
Oh boy, no. Start here: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?47900-A-Beginner-s-Guide-to-Anything-and-Everything
Begin to learn to do table-less design with CSS and HTML, preferably in something that doesn't generate code for you so your not drawn into the dark side of bad code supplied by WYSIWYG editors, such as Dreamweaver. When you need to add functionality (forms, etc) then head on into something such as PHP or ASP.
You can also add some forms with javascript (which for me is easier to understand than php or asp) and there are many sites where you can find pre-built forms from good plugins or code that will start you off in the programming language of your choice.
Notepad++ is a good start. Just have your other tools for your graphics such as Photoshop or other Adobe products. All depends on what type of "content" you put in the site also. Heck, if you wanted you could just create a Wordpress site and pick out a great template. It is almost a shortcut for creating a site but it WORKS! Wordpress works great as a CMS. Once again, just depends on what type of site and majority of content.
No need to get "fancy" with things like Dreamweaver
As far as i am aware people dont use dreamweaver to precode stuff for them. They use it because its wysiwyg and its way easier to code when you see what you are getting. Especially if your page doesnt consist of just 3 rows of text.
You an do that with your browser. And it is vastly easier to type the code for some things than to try to do it with a wysiwyg editor. I've seen graphic designers struggle for hours to get a layout right using that method, and I can come along and tweak the code in ten seconds.(It makes them really mad, too. :lol: )
not gonna argue cause i code like 2 times a year but for some reason our coders insist on having a dreamweaver and refuse to use notepads, maybe they like shinies, dunno.
You'll never get a high paying job using Dreamweaver. At least one where you work on medium to large scale web applications that actually matter. Maybe a design studio or something might tolerate it but most software engineers dismiss people who use it. Unless there is a font-end engineer to clean up the mess and merely have the designers creating mock-ups or prototypes in Dreamweaver. I have not once seen someone who uses Dreamweaver as just a text editor. The tools within it that create terrible mark-up and promote poor practices are always relied on to some extent… always.
To be fair, it's an excellent code editor—one of the better ones, IMHO—with lots of handy tools. The code editor tools that I've used don't add any markup, but just make it handy to work with the code, like hiding sections of code while you work. I know plenty of people who use Dw as a code editor, and there's no reason that would stop them getting a job.
If you're new to web development, then you'll need more than a tool. You need to know what web development is. And because this field is so very huge, I suggest you get a few books first.
As for tools, I can wholeheartedly recommend Sublime Text 2. There simply isn't a better editor out there currently and it works on all platforms: http://www.sublimetext.com/2
Nettuts+ has released a series of video tutorials for beginners for it as well: http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/perfect-workflow-in-sublime-text-free-course/
To start developing websites I believe hand coding is the best way to learn each and every details of a technology. So to code you can choose either Traditional Notepad in Windows or NotePad++. These tools will help you to go deeper in the technology and it will help you to become an expert.
I use bluefish web editor in linux. I think it is also compatible with Windows. The linux text editors (I use pluma) also have a few code-editing capabilities. I do like bluefish though because it has a color chooser, code folder, and auto complete features as well as drop down lists of different elements and attributes besides colors for the syntax, line numbers, etc. ...and it's free unless you choose to make a donation to the project.

Ah, Easter. It's almost upon us, and the ancient question lurks once more: What to serve for dinner? In our family it was always the same, year after beige year: glazed ham. And, I'm a bit ashamed to admit, the ham came in a can. My mom, who is an excellent cook and knew her way around a side of pork, would nonetheless then open another can, this one pineapple rings, and toothpick the contents to the giant hunk of meat. The crowning glory of our pressed-meat orgy were the stoplight red cherries she fished out of a jar and speared in the middle of the gaping "O" mouths of the pineapples. And even though the ham was fully cooked, it did a tour of duty in the oven for almost an hour.
With memories of those festooned guitar pick-shaped hunks of meat still fresh, so to speak, in my mind, I decided to break with tradition—well, at least mine—this year. I wanted options, for myself and for you. After all, none of us has to be moored to childhood remembrances of holiday food. That's why we're offering pork, but in a far different and much more elegant manner than the meal of my youth: baked country ham. And if The Great Can haunts you, as it does me, you'll find a fantastic—and fantastically simple—rack of spring lamb. Finally, for the adventurous among us, a knockout rabbit confit. This trio we've come to refer to as Porky, Lamb Chop, and Bugs.
That's not to say all Easter traditions—most of which are various little homages to spring—have to be jettisoned. Eggs—deviled, of course—dips, tarts, potatoes, and peas are welcome. They just needed a little makeover. So we sought out the sexiest, so-good-you-want-to-rub-it-all-over-your-body best. And dessert? Nothing but a drop-you-to-your-knees coconut cake. Momma Leite, with all due respect, this Easter dinner's for you.—David Leite

(1) When a controversy is raised by a brother of the age of puberty as to whether the trial of a case should be deferred until the heir in question arrives at puberty, a difference of opinion exists, but it is generally held that it should not be deferred.
(1) A patron has a better right to the estate of a freedman than the son of another patron; likewise, the son of a patron is to be preferred to the grandson of another patron.
(2) The freedman of two patrons appointed other heirs, one of whom died during the lifetime of the freedman, and the survivor very properly demanded possession of the estate contrary to the provisions of the will.
(3) The estate of a freedman is divided per capita and not per stirpes; and therefore, if there are two children of one patron, and four of another, each of them will be entitled to equal shares of the estate. The patron, or the children of the patron who have been appointed heirs to half the estate of a freedman, can be compelled to pay the debts of the deceased, in proportion to their shares of his estate.
(1) Property which has been alienated in any way by a freedman for the purpose of defrauding his patron, can be recovered under the Fabian formula, by the patron himself, as well as by his children.
(1) Males can make a will after having completed their fourteenth year, females after having completed their twelfth; but not where they have the right of children under the authority of a guardian.
(2) Eunuchs can make a will at the time when most males arrive at the age of puberty, that is to say, when they have reached their eighteenth year.
(3) A son under paternal control who is a soldier, or who has served in the army, can make a will disposing of his castrense peculium, not only at common law, but through the privilege which he enjoys. Castrense peculium is property acquired in camp, or which is given to a soldier while on his way to the army.
(4) A blind man can make a will, because he can request witnesses to be present, and hear them give their testimony.
(5) An insane person can make a will during a lucid interval of his insanity.
(6) A woman can be forbidden to dispose of her property if she is living a depraved life.
(7) A person can be prohibited by the Pr�tor from receiving an estate on account of his or her morals, in the following terms: "To prevent you from squandering the estate of your father, (or grandfather) , by your profligacy, and bringing your children to want, I exclude you from the house and from all commercial intercourse."
(8) A person captured by the enemy cannot make a will, as he occupies the position of a slave. A will, however, which was made before captivity is valid, if the party returns under the law of postliminium; or, if he dies in captivity, he will be entitled to the benefit of the Lex Cornelia, by which lawful guardianship and inheritances are confirmed.
(9) A person who has been relegated to an island, or sentenced for a time to labor on the public works, can make a will, and take under a will, for the reason that he retains his citizenship.
(10) Where more than seven persons are called to witness a will no harm is done; for any superfluous act is a benefit to the right of testation, and cannot injure it.
(11) A person who has lost his senses on account of bodily illness cannot make a will during the time that this condition exists.
(12) A spendthrift who leads a proper life after having reformed can make a will and act as a witness to testamentary execution.
(13) If any of those who are called to witness a will do not know or understand Latin, but still are aware for what purpose they are present, and act as witnesses, this will not vitiate the will.1
1 The right of testamentary disposition is of comparatively modern origin, the Greeks being the first nation to recognize it under the legal system established by Solon. "He is likewise much commended for his law concerning wills; for before him none could be made, but all the wealth and estate of the deceased belonged to his family." (Plutarch, Life of Solon.) Wills are not mentioned in the Code of Hammurabi, the Avesta, the Pentateuch, or the Gentoo Code; the first and the last of which compilations devote much space to the rules of inheritance. The declaration of Abraham that Eliezer was his heir, (Genesis XV, 3) can hardly be considered either as a nuncupative will, or a donatio mortis causa. The Germans of the time of Tacitus knew nothing of wills. (De Germ. XX.)
By the Visigothic Code a minor of ten years of age, if supposed to be in extremis, could make a testamentary disposal of his property; otherwise he was required to be fourteen years old. (Forum Judicum, II, VI, 10.) The collection of Alfonso X follows the rule of the text. (Las Siete Partidas, VI, I, 13.) Under Moslem law, no person is competent to make a will until the attainment of majority, incapacity being removed by arrival at the age of puberty, which period, when proof of precocious development is not adduced, is fixed at eighteen years for males, and seventeen for females. It may, however, be as early as twelve and nine years, respectively. A great divergence of opinion on this point exists among jurists. Some concede this right to a child over ten years of age; "if he is capable of discernment"; others deny it to a youth who has not arrived at puberty; others again, hold that only adults are capable. (Syed Ameer Ali, Mohammedan Law, Vol. II, Chap. XVI, Pages 470-471.) (The Hedaya, IV, LIII, 1.) (Hughes, Dict, of Islam, Page 476.) In France and Belgium, the age of capacity for testation is sixteen years, (Cod. Civ., Art. 904. Code Civil Annot�, Art. 903) ; in Spain and Portugal, it is fourteen years, (Cod. Civ., Art. 763. Cod. Civ., Art. 1764) ; in Italy, eighteen years, (Cod. Civ., Art. 763); in Sweden twenty-one years — but a minor over fifteen can bequeath property acquired by his or her own industry, (Sveriges Rikes Lag. �rvdabalk XVI. Kap. 3); in Holland and Austria, eighteen years — minors under that age can, in Austria, under certain conditions, execute a nuncupative will; (Burgerlijk Wetboek, Art. 944; Allgemeines B�rgerliches Gesetzbuch, Art. 569) ; in Japan, fifteen years, (Civil Code of Japan, Art. 1601). The age of puberty is adopted by Scottish law. "Minors after puberty can test without their curators." (Erskine, Principles of the Law of Scotland, III, IX, 5.) At Common Law a male infant of fifteen and a female of twelve, could bequeath personal property, as by the Civil Law. Under tenures in Socage, Coke lays down the rule as being eighteen years. "If after his marriage he accomplish his age of eighteen years, at what time he may make his testament, and constitute executors for his goods and chattels." (Coke, Institutes, I, 89b.) In this country no established rule exists, the age being regulated by statute, but, generally speaking, a minor has not testamentary capacity. The age in most instances is the same as in England, twenty-one years; in many States it is eighteen; in Georgia, where it is the lowest, it is fourteen years. — ED.
(1) There are two kinds of conditions, those which are possible and those which are impossible. A possible condition is one which in the nature of things can take place, an impossible condition is one which cannot take place; the occurrence of one of which may be expected, but the fulfillment of the other is suggested as impossible.
(2) Conditions which are contrary to the laws and decrees of the emperors, or are opposed to good morals, are of no force or effect, for instance, the following: "If you should not marry a wife; if you should not have children; if you should not commit homicide; if you should appear in the costume of a barbarian, or a spectre;" and others of the same description.
(3) When it is not apparent what heir was appointed, the appointment is not valid; which occurs when the testator had several friends of the same name.
(4) Heirs are said to be either appointed or substituted; those that are appointed are placed in the first degree, those that are substituted are placed in the second, or third degree.
(5) A testator can substitute an heir either absolutely or conditionally ; and this applies to his own heirs as well as strangers, and to children over and under puberty.
(6) A testator can divide his estate into as many shares as he wishes; and where the entire estate is disposed of, heirs who are appointed without any share will be entitled to equal portions of the first half of the estate.
(7) If a slave belonging to another is appointed an heir with his freedom, this does not annul the appointment; but the grant of freedom is considered to be superfluous as the slave belongs to another person.
(8) Where a son and a stranger are appointed heirs to an estate, and a daughter has been passed over, she can only claim as her share the amount left to the stranger; but where the two sons have been appointed heirs, she will take a third from them, and half from the stranger.
(9) When an appointment of posthumous heirs is made as follows: "Let my children born after my death be my heirs"; any children born during his lifetime will break the will.
(10) A posthumous grandchild who can succeed to the place of his father, and who should either be appointed heir by his grandfather, or disinherited by name, does not break the will by his birth.
(11) Anyone who has once decided to accept an estate and meddles with the property belonging to it, cannot repudiate it, even though it may cause him loss.
ON THE SlLANIAN DECREE OF THE SENATE.
(1) Under the terms of the Silanian Decree of the Senate, the estate of a person who is said to have been killed by his slaves cannot be entered on before torture has been applied; nor can the pr�torian possession of it legally be demanded.
(2) One is said to have been killed not only where death took place through violence, or murder, as where a man's throat was cut, or he was hurled down from a precipice, but also where he is alleged to have been killed by poison; for the honor of the heir is involved in not allowing any kind of homicide of the testator to go unavenged.
(3) When the owner is killed, torture should be applied to those slaves who are under the same roof, or who were outside of the house with their master at the time he was murdered.
(4) When a person is said to have been killed, and it is established that he took his own life in some way, his slaves should not be tortured, unless they are able to prevent it, and did not do so.
(5) It is provided by the Neronian Decree of the Senate that where a wife has been killed, the slaves of the husband should be tortured; and, on the other hand, where the husband is alleged to have been killed, the same rule shall be applied to the slaves devoted to the personal service of the wife.
(6) Slaves living under the same roof where the master is said to have been killed, shall be tortured and punished, even though they have been manumitted by the will of the deceased; and those also shall be tortured who accompanied him, if he was killed on a journey.
(7) Slaves who were near at hand are punished if they could have heard the cries of their master and did not go to his assistance.
(8) It has been decided that slaves who abandoned their master and took to flight when he was surrounded by robbers while on a journey, shall be arrested, tortured, and put to death.
(9) Torture shall be inflicted upon slaves if the heir is alleged to have killed the testator; and it makes no difference whether he is a stranger, or one of his children.
(10) Heirs are deprived of an estate and it is confiscated by the Treasury, if, when the murder of the testator is suspected, they entered upon the estate after the opening of the will, or after he has been declared intestate, or they obtained pr�torian possession of the same; and, in addition to this, the penalty of a hundred thousand sesterces is imposed upon them; nor does it make any difference by whom, or in what way, the head of the household is said to have been killed.
(l0a) In conclusion, it should be noted that torture must be applied to all those who, for any reason, are under suspicion.
(11) The following order is observed in subjecting those to torture whose master is said to have been murdered. In the first place it should be established that the master was killed, and then it should be made clear what slaves should be put to torture and in this way the guilty parties be detected.
(12) Although it may be certain who struck the fatal blow, the slaves should, nevertheless, be put to torture, in order that the instigator of the murder may be discovered.
(13) All those who have acted contrary to the intentions of the deceased shall be deprived of the estate as being unworthy, if nothing was provided in the will for the purpose of evading the law.
(14) The appointed heir can demand to be placed in possession of the estate unless the will is alleged to be forged, broken, or void.
(15) If a controversy arises between the appointed heir and the substitute, the better opinion is that the heir who was appointed in the first place should obtain possession of the property of the estate.
(16) The heir appointed in writing can legally demand to be immediately placed in possession. He cannot, however, obtain possession by law after a year has elapsed.
(17) The heir appointed in writing is not entitled to demand possession under a will which has not been produced and publicly read, as is required.
(18) The heir appointed in writing cannot with propriety demand to be placed in possession of any property which the testator did not possess at the time of his death, before the question has been decided in the ordinary course of law.
(1) A preferred legacy of money left to one of several heirs who were not at home, must be paid by the co-heirs by order of court in a suit for partition.
(2) A bequest cannot be made before the appointment of an heir; it can, however, be made between the appointments of heirs, without one or both being present; and sometimes half, and sometimes all will be due; half where the legacy is bequeathed to be claimed, all, where it is left by condemnation.
(3) ....1
(4) A legacy can be left to a slave owner in common either with the grant of his freedom or without it, and the entire legacy is acquired for the partner of the testator.
(5) A legacy cannot be bequeathed after the death of the heir, because the heir of an heir cannot be charged with the payment of a legacy.
(6) A legacy can be bequeathed to take effect at the time of the death of the heir, or when he dies, as follows: "I give and bequeath to Lucius Titius, when he dies my heir", or, "Let my heir be required to pay".
(7) Although the legatee may not yet have determined to claim the legacy, still, if he should die after the will has been opened, and before the estate has been entered on, he will transmit the legacy to his heir.
(8) If the property bequeathed by condemnation was hypothecated to a creditor, and the testator was not ignorant of the fact, the heir is expected to release the claim.
(9) If the slave should die, the loss must be sustained by the legatee, for the reason that the legacy lapsed through no fault of the heir.
(10) An heir can be charged to build a house for anyone, or to pay another's debt.
(11) Corporeal property, as well as that consisting merely of rights, can be bequeathed by way of permission; and therefore what was owed by a debtor may legally be bequeathed to him.
(12) A legatee cannot reject a part of the legacy bequeathed, and accept a part, as in the case of an heir.
(13) Unless the legacy consists of property which is certain, and is left to a certain person, it is of no force or effect.
(14) If anyone leaves a legacy, to himself and to Titius, the better opinion is that the entire legacy belongs to the joint legatees.
(15) Anyone who appoints himself guardian to the son of the testator, who is under the age of puberty, should as being suspicious, be removed from the guardianship which he is considered to have voluntarily attempted to obtain.
(16) If a testator subsequently pledges or hypothecates property which he has bequeathed, he will not, for this reason, be considered to have changed his mind.
(17) The usufruct of any kind of property can be bequeathed, and either vests by operation of law, or is transferred by the heir; hence, where left by condemnation it must be transferred by the heir, and where left to be claimed it vests by operation of law.
(18) The usufruct of a slave who is insane, ill, or an infant, may legally be bequeathed; for he may either recover his senses, or his health, or grow up.
(19) When the usufruct of a female slave is bequeathed, her offspring does not belong to the usufructuary.
(20) Where the usufruct of a flock is left, and it sustains no loss, the increase belongs to the usufructuary; that is to say, except in the case where some of the animals die, when the loss must be made up from their young.
(21) Where the usufruct of a piece of land is bequeathed, buildings cannot be constructed upon it.
(22) The accession of the alluvion of land does not belong to the usufructuary, for the reason that it is not the product of the soil, but any animals or birds taken in hunting will become the property of the usufructuary.
(23) An usufructuary can neither torture, scourge, nor, by any act of his, cause the deterioration of slaves.
(24) Where the profits of anything are bequeathed, and the use to be made of them is not stated, the better opinion is that the usufruct should be held to be included where profits cannot exist without use.
(25) If the use of a thing is left to one person, and the profits of it to another, the usufructuary will share in the use, which the person who has only the use cannot do, so far as the profits are concerned.
(26) Where the usufruct is bequeathed to two persons conjointly, by the expression: "I give and bequeath"; and one of them dies, the entire legacy will belong to the other.
(27) When the usufruct of anything is bequeathed, it is customary for the usufructuary to furnish security as to the way he will make use of it; and having furnished security, he is obliged to agree that he will use the property in the same way as the most careful head of the household would do.
(28) When an usufruct is lost it reverts to the ownership, and it is lost in five ways, namely: by the forfeiture of civil rights; by change in the property itself; by failure to make use of it; by its surrender in court; and by purchase of its ownership.
(29) It is lost by the forfeiture of civil rights, if the usufructuary is deported to an island, or if, for some reason, he is sentenced to the mines, or changes his condition either by arrogation or adoption.
(30) An usufruct is lost by failure to make use of it, where the usufructuary, being in possession, does not use the land for the term of two years, or movable property for the term of one year.
(31) The usufruct is lost by change in the property, where the usufruct of a house is bequeathed, and the house is destroyed by fire, or becomes ruined, although it may subsequently be rebuilt.
(32) An usufruct is lost by surrender in court, whenever the usufructuary, in a judicial proceeding, transfers it to the owner of the property.
(33) An usufruct is terminated either by death or by lapse of time; by death, when the usufructuary dies, by lapse of time, whenever the usufruct is bequeathed for a certain time, for instance, for two or three years.
(34) When a tract of land, or a slave is bequeathed, neither the appurtenances of the land nor the peculium of the slave belongs to the legatee.
(35) Those who perform farm labor are considered necessary for the securing of crops, as superintendents, stewards, and foresters; as well as oxen for plowing, plows, pruning hooks, and grain stored up for seed.
(36) Various articles are included among the implements, as, for instance, baskets, sickles, and scythes for cutting grain and hay, and also olive-oil mills.
(37) Among the implements and appurtenances for preserving the crops air casks, vats, farm vehicles, provisions for men and animals, millers, asses, ovens, likewise female slaves who make garments for the laborers, leather and shoemakers are also included.
(38) The better opinion is that the wives of the laborers also form part of the appurtenances; and also flocks and their shepherds — if the former are kept on account of their manure — are also included.
(39) Those things, however, which are for the purpose of taking care of the property, rather than for the use of the head of the household, are not included in the category of appurtenances.
(40) The wives of those who are accustomed to pay wages are not included in the terms furnishings or appurtenances.
(41) Articles used for fishing and hunting are only included among the appurtenances of land when the income therefrom is for the most part derived from their employment.
(42) Gathered crops are only included where they were ordinarily consumed on the ground by the testator.
(43) Where land situated in the country or in a city is bequeathed with its appurtenances and the slaves thereon, all the seed and provisions will be due under the legacy.
(44) When land with all its appurtenances both rustic and urban and the slaves thereon is bequeathed, the furniture, the brazen and silver vessels, and the clothing which the head of the household was accustomed to keep there for the purpose of caring for, or cultivating the property, will be due under the legacy; as well as any slaves ordinarily employed by the head of the household, and any fowls or flocks
which are kept on the land to be used in banquets, with the exception of those left there for safe keeping.
(45) Where land is left "to be maintained in the very best condition", nets to capture wild boars, and other implements used for hunting are included. These also are part of the appurtenances if the greater portion of the income of the land consists of the produce of the chase.
(46) Any crops attached to the soil at the time of the death of the testator belong to the legatee; those previously gathered belong to the heir.
(47) Where land is bequeathed with its slaves and flocks and all its rustic and urban appurtenances, the better opinion is that the peculium of the steward, if he dies before the testator and if it was on the same land, will also belong to the legatee.
(48) A steward, or tenant who was brought from the land of another and bequeathed with all the appurtenances does not belong to the legatee, unless the testator intended that he should be attached to the land in question.
(49) It has been decided that any additions derived from different purchases which the testator to the land bequeathed will belong to the legatee.
(50) When the land is bequeathed furnished, blacksmiths, carpenters, and pruners who live on the land for the purpose of working there are included in the bequest.
(51) Where land is bequeathed with its appurtenances, books, and libraries situated thereon, are included in the bequest.
(52) It has been decided that where a slave was on the land for the purpose of studying, and the land was bequeathed with its slaves, if he was transferred elsewhere he belongs to the legatee.
(53) Where land is bequeathed in such a way that possession may be obtained, both urban and rustic slaves, and gold and clothing which are on the land at the same time, belong to the legatee.
(54) Pastures subsequently purchased, which the testator added to the land bequeathed, if included in that appellation, belong to the legatee.
(55) Any property in the same house which the owner bequeathed furnished, and which he kept there to be constantly used, passes to the legatee.
(56) Any articles bequeathed with the house, and by which the building is better provided, or rendered safe from fire, are embraced in the legacy; hence tiles, mirrors, and curtains are included, likewise, coverlets, beds, mattresses, pillows, benches, chairs, tables, chests, tripods, toilet-boxes, wash-basins, candelabra, lamps, and similar objects, no matter of what material they may be composed.
(57) When a house is bequeathed, the bath attached to it, which is for common use, passes to the legatee, where it is not otherwise separated from it.
(58) Where a house is bequeathed furnished, with all the rights attached to the same, the urban slaves, together with the artisans,
porters, and water-carriers employed in the service of the house, are comprised in the legacy.
(59) When all the contents of a house are bequeathed, written evidences of debt and bills of sales of slaves are not included in the legacy.
(60) When jewelry is bequeathed, gold and silver plate is not included, unless it can be shown clearly that the testator intended that it should be.
(61) When an inn is bequeathed with its appurtenances which are said to belong to the inn-keeper, all those things are included which are provided for the use of the proprietor; for instance, vessels in which wine is poured, and dishes and cups for eating and drinking, but those who serve food or drink by means of these utensils do not pass with the legacy.
(62) Where the instruments of a physician are bequeathed, eyewashes and plasters, all the apparatus for compounding medicines, as well as surgical instruments, are comprised in the legacy.
(63) When the studio of a painter is bequeathed, paints, brushes, branding irons, and vessels for mixing colors are included.
(64) Where the shop of a baker is bequeathed, sieves, asses, mills, and slaves who are employed in the bakery, as well as the machines with which flour is kneaded, are included in the legacy.
(65) When the establishment of a bather is bequeathed, the bather himself, benches, footstools, pipes, cauldrons, spigots, water-wheels, and also the beasts of burden by which wood is carried, are embraced in the legacy.
(66) When the equipment of a fisherman is bequeathed, nets, baskets, tridents, boats, hooks, and everything else of this kind intended for the use of fishermen is included.
(67) Where furniture is bequeathed, boxes and chests — except such as are solely intended for books or clothing — are included; as well as vessels of Phoenician, and other glass, or crystal, and of silver, both for eating and drinking purposes, together with cloths used for covering, are included in the legacy.
(68) When a house and a field are bequeathed separately, one is included in the other.
(69) Where slaves are bequeathed by the formula: "I do give and bequeath", female slaves are also included; but where male slaves are bequeathed, females are not included. In the term female slaves, virgins, as well as the sons of slaves are included. Those, however, are excepted who are left in trust.
(70) When slaves who are secretaries are bequeathed, all who are engaged in that service in the city will be included, unless some of them have been permanently transferred to work in the country.
(71) It is doubtful whether hunters or bird-catchers should be included among those employed in service in a city, and the question therefore depends upon the intention. Still, if they are kept for the purpose of daily attendance upon the table they will be included.
(72) Muleteers and stewards are included in those employed in urban services, as well as purveyors and valets, butlers, chamberlains, cooks, cake-bakers, barbers, litter-bearers, and grooms.
(73) When flocks are bequeathed, all quadrupeds are included which feed together in herds.
(74) When beasts of burden are bequeathed, oxen are not included; and where horses are bequeathed, it has been decided that mares are included; where sheep are bequeathed, lambs are not included, unless they are a year old.
(75) Where a flock of sheep is bequeathed, rams are also included.
(76) Where fowls are bequeathed, geese, pheasants, chickens, and the places where they are kept are included, but whether the keepers of pheasants and of geese are included, depends upon the intention of the testator.
(77) When sweets are bequeathed, wine which has been boiled down either with or without spices; mead; sweet wine; dates; figs; and raisins are included. On this point, also, there is a question of the intention, because this term includes some kinds of apples.
(78) When vegetables are bequeathed, not only leguminous plants, but also barley and wheat are included.
(79) When cloth is bequeathed, it includes everything woven of wool and flax as well as of silk and cotton which is prepared for the purpose of wear or covering, as for girdles, or for placing under or upon one. Skins suitable for wear are also included.
(80) When clothing for males is bequeathed, this only applies to garments used by men for reasons of modesty, and any kind of covering is embraced in a bequest of this description.
(81) When female clothing is bequeathed, all garments intended for the use of women are included.
(82) When wool is bequeathed, it is included in the legacy whether it has been cut off, or washed, and whether it has been carded or dyed; purple, however, whether in the web or the woof, is not comprised in this category.
(83) When articles suitable for the use of women are bequeathed, everything intended to render them more neat and elegant is included; for instance, mirrors, toilet-boxes, vessels for water, ointments, and the vases in which they are contained, and also a stool for. the bath, and other things of this kind.
(84) Where ornaments are bequeathed, all those things used for the adornment of women are included; as for instance rings, chains, nets, and other things with which women adorn their necks, heads, or hands.
(85) When silver is bequeathed, it only is due in the mass, for vessels which are designated by their own names are not included in the legacy; for when wool is bequeathed, clothing is not due.
(86) When silver vessels are bequeathed, all those are included which are fashioned for any purpose, and therefore such as are used for eating or drinking, as well as the slaves who handle them at banquets are due; as for instance, small pitchers, bowls, dishes, pepper, cruets, spoons, ladles, goblets, and other utensils of this kind.
(87) When books are bequeathed, volumes of paper, parchment, and papyrus are included, and wooden tablets covered with wax, as well. By the term "books" not merely volumes of leaves of paper, but also any kind of writing which is enclosed in anything is understood.
(88) When gold is bequeathed, precious stones are also included, and pearls and emeralds pass with the legacy; the better opinion, however, is that this is a question of intention, for gold which is not manufactured is due, but where it is manufactured, it is comprised in the category with ornaments.
(89) Where silver plate is bequeathed, any inlaid decoration of gold is also embraced in the legacy.
(90) Where a silver drinking service is bequeathed, every kind of drinking vessel is included; as for instance, bowls, cups, goblets, pitchers, wine-jars, and spoons.
(91) When a carriage with its belongings is bequeathed, mules are also included in the legacy but the muleteer does not seem to be, according to the daily custom of speaking.
(92) When a codicil, or any other kind of a testament, is produced, from which a legacy has been erased, or cut away, its payment cannot legally be demanded.
1 Original manuscript illegible.
(1) A person makes a donation mortis causa who, on departing for war, or being about to undertake a sea voyage, does so upon the condition that if he should return the property shall be restored to him, and if he should die, it shall belong to him to whom he gave it.
(2) A donation mortis causa made on account of illness, on the recovery of health is also revoked by a change of mind; for it becomes effective only through death.
(1) When an estate has been exhausted by legacies, trusts, or donations mortis causa, the appointed heir can, by the aid of the Lex Falcidia, retain a fourth part of the same.
(2) Whenever a question arises with reference to the portion to be retained, on account of the risk of the heir demanding more than he is entitled to, after an appraisement of all the property has been made by the judge, the amount of the fourth to which the heir is entitled is determined; or a bond is executed from the legatee that if he receives any more than the fourth of the estate he will return it.
(3) Property donated to a son by a mother during her lifetime, is not subject to the reservation of the Falcidian fourth.
(4) Where default occurs in the payment of trusts or legacies, suit can be brought to recover the profits and interest; and default is held to be committed when the property left in trust or bequeathed is not delivered to the party claiming it.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/7/2013 (1489 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A few weeks ago, I flipped on the TV in mid-morning, something I don't usually do. Egypt was on the verge of a coup, and I was in need of an update. I turned to CNN, where I worked for 17 years, and saw wall-to-wall coverage of the George Zimmerman trial.
Fox News and MSNBC offered the same, and the broadcast networks offered me The View, Doctor Oz and The Price Is Right.
Mind you, obsessive coverage of show trials is nothing new. The O.J. Simpson case hijacked the cable newscasts (then only CNN) nearly 20 years ago and held them for more than a year. But the Zimmerman trial, on the heels of the Jodi Arias trial, the Casey Anthony trial and dozens more mark a real turning point.
U.S. news networks have lost their way in covering news. The day for cable news playing a constructive role in reporting truly important human events is over. They're now competing to amuse you and me.
The amusement takes many odd forms, from a show trial, to a car chase, to iPhone video of a parking-lot slugfest, to royal babies and the Kardashians.
And it isn't the least bit funny. Neither is it news. It leaves us less informed. It's no coincidence that the decline of U.S. media, from reality TV to brainless news to shrinking newspaper staffs, is on a parallel path with the declining quality of government.
TV news executives are terrified of the future they face. The average cable-news viewer comes in at just under 60 years of age -- if you were wondering about the profusion of ads for Viagra, denture adhesive and motorized wheelchairs.
Younger audiences tend to prefer the fake version offered by The Daily Show and Colbert Report, or they eschew news-viewing completely. So their base isn't just shrinking, it will soon be dying.
The solution they've mapped out for this is to stay the course, even as both viewers and journalistic integrity slip away.
When a bright, shiny object like the Zimmerman trial comes along, the cable-news nets take a news vacation and compete for their one-third of a single story.
There's no denying that the elements of the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case have great social relevance: guns, personal safety, profiling and myriad aspects of race relations. But something's wrong when everything from the national debt to national health, from North Korea's nukes to climate change, from the roiling Middle East to failing public schools suddenly aren't worth mentioning. That brings us to a point where calling cable news "news" is almost as unforgivable as Fox News branding its brazenly partisan offerings as "fair and balanced."
As for Egypt, I found some fleeting coverage in the early afternoon that day. The cable nets broke out the live cameras and studio pundits to describe the turmoil in Tahrir Square for a few minutes because the judge recessed the Zimmerman trial for lunch.
The first democratically elected government to spring from the remarkable events of the Arab Spring was being run out of town, and Americans had access to live television reports because George Zimmerman was eating a sandwich.
All three cable nets went back to trial coverage well before the lunch break ended, favouring viewers with commentary from the likes of the odious Nancy Grace. Shame.
It doesn't have to be this way. I know that many smart, dedicated journalists still toil in cable news. The sad part is that they're smart enough to know that pursuing serious news is a bad career move in the current environment.
But consider this: On a good weekday, the combined audience for the morning shows on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC is about two million viewers, with Fox accounting for about half.
By contrast, NPR's Morning Edition, which takes its journalism far more seriously, can pull in eight million on a good morning, and its average listener is a decade younger.
As I write this, the trial has been over for five days. I just randomly turned on the TV, and CNN and MSNBC were mired in panel discussions, offering nothing new on the meaning of George Zimmerman's acquittal.
Fox News, the exception to the rule, was in a break, running an erectile-dysfunction ad. There's a better way than competing for the lowest common denominator. NPR is thriving by staying smart and true to journalism.
Also thriving are The Daily Show and Colbert Report. One would think a little introspection is in order when the people who make their living making fun of your journalism outflank you -- and win elite broadcast journalism awards like the Peabody, DuPont-Columbia and news Emmys.
For the sake of an informed democracy, news networks should chill out on the obsessive, often mindless coverage of mega-events and give journalism another try.
For the dedicated journalists caught in the downward spiral of cable news, stand your ground. And for the sake of the old, departed TV news lions like Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, let's hope their graves are in a No-Spin Zone.

Just want to thank you guys for making the Live Chat a success.
Sorry it seemed I was ignoring some of your questions, but we were half an hour behind in the questions because of the sheer volume. Neither my brain or my fingers work that fast.
We will definitely be doing more of these.
Next time we'll decide on a window from start to finish, and encourage you to ask questions early. Because we're likely never going to have time to answer the ones asked later if this was any indication.
I also appreciated the g(j)ibberish thrown in there from time to time, even if not everybody got it. There was some puzzlement, for example, about why we were discussing Willie Mitchell. LOL.
Anybody who missed the insanity can scroll down to the previous thread and read through the entire two hours, or any portion thereof.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – For the second time in two weeks, the No. 13 Lady Mustangs (8-0) squared off against the Warriors of William Jessup University (5-8). Saturday's evening produced similar results for TMC as the Mustangs took WJU with 82-73 victory.
The Lady Mustangs started with an evening-high 17 point lead before the Warriors mustered an offensive comeback fueled by two three-pointers and a pair of field goals from Ashley Rose. TMC narrowly led the Warriors at the half with a 36-29 lead.
Despite shooting 45% from the field in the first stanza, the Lady Mustangs only led by seven points at intermission. Zoe Scott (Spokane, WA) led the Mustangs in the first half with a pair of three-pointers, a field goal, and three free thows.
Jacquelyn Marshall (San Clemente, CA) posted a jumper just 11 seconds into the second stanza extending the Mustangs lead to 38-29. After a three-pointer from Ashley Rose, TMC answered back with a 12-2 run that produced a 16-point lead (50-34).
But the evening was far from over as the Warriors rallied back with a 28-12 run that eventually tied things at 62-62. Sarah Peterson chipped in 10 points on the Warriors explosive rally, followed by nine from teammate Taylor Borba.
The Warriors saw their first lead of the evening as a free throw from Peterson put WJU up 63-62. A free throw from Millie Rivera (Allen, TX) tied things at 63-63, but a free throw WJU's Ashley Rose put the Warriors up one last time at 64-63. The Warriors' lead was short-lived as jumper from Lena Rivera (Allen, TX) put the Mustangs up 65-64.
With eight minutes left on the clock, the Lady Mustangs produced one last surge consisting of a 17-8 run. Marshall produced six points for the Mustangs which was more than enough as the evening concluded with a final score of 82-73.
"We found a way to win," commented Mustang Coach Dan Waldeck. "We didn't guard the way we needed to while they [William Jesssup] made some really tough shots. I'm proud of our resilience, but it's time for us to move on and look to Monday."
Jacquelyn Marshall led the way for TMC, scoring a team-high 22 points while notching four rebounds. Lena Rivera and Zoe Scott both posted 13 points, while Theresa Brown (Eugene, OR) lead with nine rebounds. Whitney Best (Snohomish, WA ) dished out a team-best six assists. Collectively, TMC finished the night by shooting 50% from the field.
Coach Waldeck and the undefeated Lady Mustangs return to Bross Gym on Monday, as TMC hosts Great Falls (MT) in a 7:00 PM tipoff.

Anton Kolomyeytsev - Friday, November 16, 2007 - linkGuys I really appreciate you throwing away StarWind! W/o even letting people know what configuration did you use, did you enable caching, did you use flat image files, did you map whole disk rather then partition, what initiator did you use (StarPort or MS iSCSI), did you apply recommended TCP stack settings etc. Probably it's our problem as we've managed to release the stuff people cannot properly configure but why did not you contact us telling you have issues so we could help you to sort them out?
With the WinTarget R.I.P. (and MS selling it's successor thru the OEMs only), StarWind thrown away and SANmelody and IPStor not even mentioned (and they are key players!) I think your review is pretty useless... Most of the people are looking for software solutions when you're talking about "affordable SAN". Do you plan to have second round?
Thanks once again and keep doing great job! :)

Johnniewalker - Sunday, November 11, 2007 - linkIf you get a chance, it would be great to see what kind of performance you get out of an iscsi hba, like the one from qlogic.
When it gets down to it, the DAS numbers are great for a baseline, but what if you have 4+ servers running those io tests? That's what shared storage is for anyhow. Then compare the aggregate io vs DAS numbers?
For example, can 4 servers can hit 25MB/s each in the SQLio random read 8kb test for a total of 100MB/s ? How much is cpu utilization reduced with one or more iscsi hba in each server vs the software drivers? Where/how does the number of spindles move these numbers? At what point does the number of disk overwhelm one iscsi hba, two iscsi hba's, one FC hba, two FC hbas, and one or two scsi controllers?
IMHO iscsi is the future. Most switches are cheap enough that you can easily build a seperate dedicated iscsi network. You'd be doing that if you went with fiber channel anyhow, but at a much higher expense (and additional learning curve) if you don't already have it, right?
Then all we need is someone who has some really nice gui to manage the system - a nice purdy web interface that runs on a virtual machine somewhere, that shows with one glance the health, performance, and utilization of your system(s).
System(s) have Zero faults.
Volume(s) are at 30.0 Terabytes out of 40.00 (75%)
CPU utilization is averaging 32% over the last 15 minutes.
Memory utilization is averaging 85% over the last 15 minutes.
IOs peaked at 10,000 (50%) and average 5000 (25%) over the last 15 minutes.
Pinch me!

afan - Friday, November 09, 2007 - linkYou can get one of the recently-released 10Gbps PCI-E TCP/IP card for <$800, and they support iSCSI.
here's one example:
The chip might be used by Myricom and others, (I'm not sure), and there's a linux and a bsd driver - a nice selling point.
10gb ethernet is what should really change things.
They look amazing on paper -- I'd love to see them tested:
JohanAnandtech - Saturday, November 10, 2007 - linkThe problem is that currently you only got two choices: expensive CX4 copper which is short range (<15 m) and not very flexible (it is a like infiniband cables) or Optic fiber cabling. Both HBAs and cables are rather expensive and require rather expensive switches (still less than FC, but still). So you the price gap with FC is a lot smaller. Of course you have a bit more bandwidth (but I fear you won't get much more than 5 GBit, has to be test of course), and you do not need to learn fc.
Personally I would like to wait for 10 gbit over UTP-cat 6... But I am open to suggestion why the current 10 gbit would be very interesting too. Reply
afan - Saturday, November 10, 2007 - linkThanks for your answer, J.
first, as far as I know, CX4 cables aren't as cheap as cat_x, but they aren't all _that_ expensive to be a showstopper. If you need more length, you can go for the fibre cables -- which go _really_ far:
I think the cx4 card (~$800)is pretty damn cheap for what you get: (and remember it doesn't have pci-x limitations).
Check out the intel marketing buzz on iSCSI and the junk they're doing to speed up TCP/IP, too. It's good reading, and I'd love to see the hype tested in the real world.
I agree with you that UTP-cat 6 would be much better, more standardized, much cheaper, better range, etc. I know that, but if this is we've got now, so be-it, and I think it's pretty killer, but I haven't tested it : ).
Dell, cisco, hp, and others have CX4 adapters for their managed switches - they aren't very expensive and go right to the backplane of the switch.
here are some dell switches that support CX-4, at least:
these are the current 10gbe intel flavors:
copper: Intel® PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter
Intel® 10 Gigabit XF SR Server Adapters
a pita is the limited number of x8 PCI-E slots in most server mobos.
keep up your great reporting.

somedude1234 - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkFirst off, great article. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.
From everything I've read coming out of MS, the StorPort driver should provide better performance. Any reason why you chose to go with SCSIPort? Emulex offers drivers for both on their website. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, November 08, 2007 - linkThanks. It is something that Tijl and myself will look into, and report back in the next article. Reply
Czar - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkLove that anandtech is going into this direction :D
Realy looking forward to your iscsi article. Only used fiber connected sans, have a ibm ds6800 at work :) Never used iscsi but veeery interested into it, what I have heard so far is that its mostly just very good for development purposes, not for production enviroments. And that you should turn of I think chaps or whatever it its called on the switches, so the icsci san doesnt overflow the network with are you there when it transfers to the iscsi target. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, November 08, 2007 - link
Love that anandtech is going into this direction :D
Just wait a few weeks :-). Anandtech IT will become much more than just one of the many tabs :-)
And that you should turn of I think chaps or whatever it its called on the switches, so the icsci san doesnt overflow the network with are you there when it transfers to the iscsi target.
We will look into it, but I think it should be enough to place your iSCSI storage on a nonblocking switch on separate VLAN. Or am I missing something?
Czar - Monday, November 12, 2007 - linkthink I found it
"Common Ethernet switch ports tend to introduce latency into iSCSI traffic, and this reduces performance. Experts suggest deploying high-performance Ethernet switches that sport fast, low-latency ports. In addition, you may choose to tweak iSCSI performance further by overriding "auto-negotiation" and manually adjusting speed settings on the NIC and switch. This lets you enable traffic flow control on the NIC and switch, setting Ethernet jumbo frames on the NIC and switch to 9000 bytes or higher -- transferring far more data in each packet while requiring less overhead. Jumbo frames are reported to improve throughput as much as 50%. "
This is what I was talking about.
Realy looking forward to the next article :) Reply

We have been working with quite a few SMEs the past several years, and making storage more scalable is a bonus for those companies.
I'm just wondering this sentence was linked to an article about a Supermicro dual node server. So you considere Supermicro an SME, or are you saying their servers are sold to SME's? I just skimmed the Supermicro article, so perhaps you were working with an SME in testing it? I got the feeling from the sentence that you meant to link to an article where you had worked with SME's in some respect. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkno, Supermicro is not an SME in our viewpoint :-). Sorry, I should have been more clear, but I was trying to avoid that the article lost it's focus.
I am head of a serverlab in the local university and our goal is applied research in the fields of virtualisation, HA and Server sizing. One of the things we do is to develop software that helps SME's (with some special niche application) to size their server. That is what the link is going towards, a short explanation of the stresstesting client APUS which has been used to help quite a few SMEs. One of those SMEs is MCS, a software company who develops facility management software. Basically the logs of their software were analyzed and converted by our stresstesting client into a benchmark. Sounds a lot easier than it is.
Because these applications are used in real world, and are not industry standard benchmarks that the manufacturers can tune to the extreme, we feel that this kind of benchmarking is a welcome addition to the normal benchmarks. Reply
hirschma - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkIs the Promise gear compatible with Cluster File Systems like Polyserve or GFS? Perhaps the author could get some commentary from Promise. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkWe will. What kind of incompatibility do you expect? It seems to me that the filesystem is rather independent from the storage rack. Reply
hirschma - Thursday, November 08, 2007 - link
We will. What kind of incompatibility do you expect? It seems to me that the filesystem is rather independent from the storage rack.
I only ask because every cluster file vendor suggests that not all SAN systems are capable of handling multiple requests to the same LUN simultaneously.
I can't imagine that they couldn't, since I think that cluster file systems are the "killer app" of SANs in general. Reply
FreshPrince - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkI think I would like to try the intel solution and compare it to my cx3... Reply
Gholam - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkAny chance of seeing benchmarks for LSI Engenio 1333/IBM DS3000/Dell MD3000 series? Reply
JohanAnandtech - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkI am curious why exactly?
And yes, we'll do our best to get some of the typical storage devices in the labs. Any reason why you mention these one in particular (besides being the lower end of the SANs) Reply
Gholam - Thursday, November 08, 2007 - linkBoth Dell and IBM are aggressively pushing these in the SMB sector around here (Israel). Their main competition is NetApp FAS270 line, which is considerably more expensive. Reply
ninjit - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkIt's a good idea to define all your acronyms the first time you use them in an article.
Sure, a quick google told me what an SME was, but it's helpful to the casual reader, who would otherwise be directed away from your page.
What's funny, is that you were particular about defining FC, SAN, HA on the first page, just not the title term of your article. Reply
microAmp - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkI was just about to post something similar. <thumbsup> Reply

These are very pretty but personally I have found recently a much prettier set that is from the same company.
The plates look the same but are a plain white. you can not see the design with you have food on your plate and so personally I like the plane look for the interior of a plate. Very pretty white. But these are good plates to eat from and decorative for the china cabinet. that is where this set is.
Note the design on the back from the company creator. Fine China and Wonderful Tea set for those who drink tea. Cups are nice and dainty.

FERNDALE, Mich. - A high-speed chase through Metro Detroit involving an out-of-control mini van ended with a dramatic arrest.
Ferndale police got the suspect before he caused a major crash or took someone's life.
"He put a lot of innocent citizens at risk," said Ferndale Police Lt. Gary Whiting.
It all started early Monday morning. A police officer attempted to pull the man, Andre Porter, over on 8 Mile Road near John R. Road because he was speeding. What the officer did not know was Porter was on probation for drug-related offenses. He took off.
The chase began. Police video shows the mini van flying down Woodward Avenue and 8 Mile Road through neighborhoods. It briefly drives on a sidewalk. The van took out a sign. Porter reached speeds of about 85 miles per hour as he tore down the sidewalk.
Police had to make the tough call of chasing the man down.
"It's a big decision whether to continue with the pursuit or terminate it. You always have to weigh the safety of the public," said Whiting.
The mini van continued to speed as it went down streets in Detroit, Ferndale and Royal Oak Township. The officer called for backup. Police say Porter finally lost control on a sharp turn. He ran over a tree on the median.
It wasn't over yet. He took off running and almost was struck by a vehicle. Officers gave chase and quickly arrested him.
Porter was facing a speeding ticket, but now he faces serious charges.

Al Jefferson scored 28 points and Gordon Hayward added 24 to lead the Utah Jazz to a 123-121 triple-overtime victory over Dallas on Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
The First: Jazz 22, Mavs 18
Al Jefferson scored 28 points and Gordon Hayward added 24 to lead the Utah Jazz to a 123-121 triple-overtime victory over Dallas on Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
The First: Jazz 22, Mavs 18
The Jazz convert only four of their first 15 possessions. Dirk Nowitzki makes his first three shots. Still, Devin Harris' second three-pointer triggers an 11-4 run that gives Utah a 20-16 lead with 3:02 remaining.
The Second: Jazz 43, Mavs 42
DeMarre Carroll's jumper caps a 9-2 run that gives the Jazz a 31-20 lead less than three minutes into the half. Nowitzki counters with four quick points, however, and the Dallas zone defense slows Utah's momentum.
The Third: Jazz 71, Mavs 62
Al Jefferson, Harris and Carroll hit jumpers. The Jazz quickly build a 49-42 lead. The Mavericks convert five of six possessions to stay close, but Carroll scores seven points and Utah edges away with a 9-4 run the final 2:07.
The Fourth: Jazz 89, Mavs 89.
The Jazz miss three shots and commit four turnovers in the first three minutes, but the Mavericks can't take advantage. Jamaal Tinsley buries a three-pointer to make it 79-70 with 5:38 left before Dallas closes on a 14-6 run.
First Overtime: Jazz 105, Mavs 105
Nowitzki gives Dallas a 96-92 lead, but Gordon Hayward and Harris bury consecutive three-pointers. After a defensive stop, Harris scores again to make it 100-96 with 1:05 remaining but the Jazz can't hang on.
Double Overtime: Jazz 111, Mavs 111
The Jazz score first but fail twice to extend their lead. It's 109-109 when Harris misses two free throws. After falling behind, however, Jefferson hits a jumper and both teams fail to convert in the final 29 seconds.
Third Overtime: Jazz 123, Mavs 121
With the score tied, Hayward assists on a three-pointer by Harris and a short jump hook by Jefferson, making it 120-115 with 1:08 left. After Delonte West hits a three, Millsap misses a free throw. But Nowitzki misses the tying three.

HOUSTON - You often hear about thieves stealing electronics when they break into people's homes, but one local family said the crooks who broke into their home stole something far more precious.
Davion Parker said that when his daughter, Dazmyne, came home from school on Wednesday afternoon, she noticed a window was broken and the front door was unlocked.
"She walked in the house and saw our front TV missing, a TV missing out of our room, my whole room ransacked and all the drawers taken out," said Parker.
Some Christmas presents were missing from the home in the 4100 block of Dalmatian Drive, too.
It's bad enough to be burglarized, but that wasn't the worst of it. The thieves snatched all six of the family's puppies from the garage.
Parker said his kids had already bonded with the puppies and admitted the entire family is heartbroken.
"The babies weren't even really weaned off of their mother, so, you know, at this point they still need their mom," Parker said.
Parker isn't counting on a reunion any time soon. In fact, he doubts he'll ever see the puppies again.
"I was mad. I was mad about everything. Why don't people get their own jobs and buy their own stuff? Why break into hard working people's homes and take their stuff?" Parker said. Parker planned to sell all but one of the puppies. It's the second time this year the family has been hit by thieves.

Game One: San Diego State 7, App State 6
After a scoreless first inning, the Mountaineers were able to get on the board in the top of the second inning. Sarah Warnock (Jamestown, N.C./Southwest Guilford) drove in the first run of the season for the Apps through the left side to drive in Cara Parker (Lake Park, Ga./Lowndes) and make the score 1-0 in favor of App State.
The Aztecs were able to tie in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI single to centerfield off the bat of Sydnee Cable to drive in Stefanie Polonia. In the top of the fourth, the Mountaineers put together their highest scoring inning. After a Pepper Butler (Delray Beach, Fla./Boca Rotan Community) single and bunt single from Dani Heichen (Pembroke Pines, Fla/Pembroke Pines Charter), two batters later later Ashley Seering (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) hit a bomb to left center field to give the Mountaineers a 4-1 advantage heading into the bottom half of the fourth.
San Diego State picked up one run in the bottom of the fourth off of a Cable double to drive in Jacki Campa to bring the score to 4-2. Neither team would score again until the sixth inning. In the top half of the inning, Butler and Heichen would find themselves on second and third. Lindsay Loudermilk (Bluff City, Tenn./Sullivan East) and Seering would provide back-to-back singles to extend the Mountaineer lead to 6-2. The Aztecs would tack on one when Monica Downey singled up the middle to drive in Kayla Bufardeci to bring the App lead to 6-3.
The Aztecs would score three in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game at 6-6 and force extras. San Diego State would pick up a single, a double and a two-run home run from Bufardeci in the inning. The Mountaineers were not able to do any damage in the top half of the eighth inning and San Diego State would tally the winning run by way of a Hayley Miles single to drive in Kayla Jordan.
Alissa Schoelkopf (Sewell, N.J./Washington Township) received the start for the Apps and pitched seven innings, scattering eight hits and allowing six runs with four strikeouts. Shivaun Landeros (Sparks, Nev./Edward C. Reed) (0-1) suffered the loss after pitching the eighth innin and surrendering a hit, a walk and an unearned run.
Seering finished 2-for-4 with four runs batted in, including her three-run home run in the top of the fourth inning. Warnock and Loudermilk drove in one run each for the Mountaineers. Heichen led Appalachian with a team-high three hits in four at-bats. The Mountaineers would out hit the Aztecs, 12-9 in the contest.
Weather related travel delays for Western Michigan pushed Thursdays second game to a 10:30 p.m. start time. Results for that game will be posted once they become available.

NAWG Elects and Installs Bing Von Bergen as President; Elects Officers
Date Posted: March 1, 2013
Kissimmee, FL—Montana wheat and barley farmer Bing Von Bergen was elected and installed as the new president of the National Association of Wheat Growers at the Association's Board of Directors meeting Thursday.
Von Bergen is a native of Moccasin, Mont., in the center part of the state.
Prior to becoming a NAWG officer, he served in the officer corps of the Montana Grain Growers Association for five years and on the NAWG Board, chairing the Domestic and Trade Policy Committee in 2008 and 2009.
Von Bergen Installed as NAWG President At Commodity Classic.
In addition to running his farm, Von Bergen is the co-owner of Heartland Seed Company, which specializes in small grain seeds as well as grass and alfalfa seed.
He has also served in several leadership roles in his community, including on a local co-op board, bank board and school board.
After serving in the U.S. Army, Von Bergen attended Montana State University.
He and his wife Lois have two college-age children.
As president, Von Bergen will also be serving as acting chief executive officer while the Association undertakes a search process for a new staff lead.
"I am entering this new role during what some may consider a challenging time for our Association and our industry, but I see a lot of opportunity for us to grow and improve," Von Bergen said.
"I appreciate my fellow growers entrusting me with these duties and responsibilities, and I will work diligently to ensure I live up to them."

There is a program in bt4 to generate custom charsets called crunch.
crunch 8 8 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ -o output.txt
Be warned this will make a very big list and take a very long time.
I need to generate a wordlist to crack my sky router WPA key. It is 8 characters, all uppercase, no numbers or symbols. It does never form a "proper" word if you will. eg XYGHTURE
is there anyway i can do this? As most wordlists are from dictionaries which arn't useful at all for my router :/ My brain can't fathom how many combinations that would make up, surely not as much if i can remove all "proper" words...?

Oh great thanks! Yeah i realise it maybe up to 150GB in size? though how long do you think it would take to go through the entire wordlist, 5days??
I mean how many words per second does aircrack-ng actually process? It tells me keys/sec but is that the same thing or not?? :/
Also 1 last question, is there a command/program i can use to remove words from that generated list which are present in another.
EG my dictionary wordlist, run program that compares the 2 wordlists and removes any words from wordlist number 2 found in wordlist number 1. thanks

Pureh@te is right. The output will be 26^8
208,827,064,576 Bytes or 209 GB. You will have to use the -c parameter to break up the output into smaller sized files that programs like john the ripper can use.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
Would someone mind re-visiting the maths in your previous post?
Inspired by the reasonable amount of space required (209gb) I decided to create such a rainbow list and got from AAAAAAAA to DLWLEMTQ before being told I'm out of diskspace (I'd set aside about 240gb on a partition).
The fatal error seems to be not including the number of chars in each entry (plus a separator). 26^8 simply gets you the number of entries in the file not the number of bytes.
26^8 = 208827064576
208827064576 * 9 = 1879443581184 bytes
The good news is that these files will compress well.
