FORMER Swindon Town chairman Jeremy Wray is involved in a consortium looking to buy a stake in Birmingham City.
Wray was on the board at the Country Ground for four years and spent the final 18 months of that time as chairman, before being replaced by Sir William Patey in October 2012.
The Birmingham Mail has reported that Wray and his associates from Soccer Management Worldwide Limited are the UK group looking to buy into the St Andrews club, who have suffered financial problems of late and only survived relegation from the Championship on the final day of last season.
Wray, whose most notable act at the County Ground was the appointment of Paolo Di Canio in the summer of 2011, was at St Andrew's on Thursday as the consortium continue the due diligence process.

More than 95% of Victorians believe smoking should not be allowed on primary or secondary school grounds, according to new data released today.
The data, from The Cancer Council Victoria, also shows that two thirds of Victorian adults (66%) believe smoking should not be allowed at outdoor places where children are present (e.g. parks and playgrounds).
Executive Director of Quit Victoria, Ms Fiona Sharkie, said the figures highlight that actions designed to prevent young people from taking up smoking and protect them from exposure to second-hand smoke would be welcome by the Victorian community.
"This data sends a clear message to the Victorian Government that the public thinks it's time to put kids before cigarettes, and there are some straight-forward things that can be done immediately to help protect kids from tobacco including making school grounds smokefree."
"There is a legislative ban on smoking at underage music and dance events in Victoria, so it seems logical to extend this to school grounds where young people spend a substantial amount of time."
"It is interesting that adult environments like bars and clubs have been made smokefree, yet school grounds are not subject to similar laws."
"Smokefree schools are important because they protect students from second-hand smoke and also prevent them from being influenced by seeing others smoke."
Ms Sharkie said a ban on smoking in school grounds is amongst a raft of proposals currently being cosidered by the Government as part of a new Victorian Tobacco Control Strategy, as well as a complete ban on tobacco displays in shops.
"Getting cigarettes completely out of sight in shops is a 'must-do' if the State Government is serious about addressing issues around young people and smoking."
"To dismantle the idea that cigarette smoking is normal behaviour, and reduce the rate of young people taking up smoking, cigarettes must be completely out of sight in shops."
"Allowing the tobacco industry to display cigarette packs in shops, in any shape or form, is basically giving the green-light to tobacco promotion," said Ms Sharkie

The death of the office?Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
When we started out (what seems like) aeons ago – the concept of not having one physical location where you worked brought strange looks from people.
As a startup – we saved valuable cash by not renting any offices, and having everyone work from home. That cash gets spent on more marketing or more developers – things that added real value to our business. Whereas an office always struck me as an expensive way to get a lot of people to have coffee and tea in un-natural amounts.
This message seemed to be lost on large corporations though – who stuck blindly to the mantra of 'I exist. I am a business. Therefore i need a whopping big office.' (more…)

Moog VoyagerXL. Is this real or a Photoshop? Matrixsynth says $4995. Here's the post where people are discussing this monster: moogmusic.com/forum/9853
"Looks slightly photoshopped–but perhaps only to correct colors for posting to the web….To that point, I think that this thing looks real. Nothing jumps out at me as indicating that it's polyphonic. But it does appear to have something like a ribon controler between the keyboard and the control panel! In all It looks like a Voyager with extended patch capabilities–something that expands the Voyager's playability further towards the modular synthesis roots on which the original Minimoog was based. This could be quite interesting." Jaguarfooger

SMWC alum writes children's book
April 9th, 2014 | SMWC
Telling the story of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College's (SMWC) foundress, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, in a way that children can enjoy is what one alumni recently did in the form of a children's book. Mary K. Doyle, 2005 graduate of the Masters of Pastoral Theology program recently authored "Saint Theodora and Her Promise to God," her sixth book. Published by the Sisters of Providence, Doyle's book is an inspiring story of how one little girl followed God's call.
The story begins at Saint Mother Theodore Guerin's childhood home, Etables, France, when she was known as Anne-Therese. It follows her on her journey into adulthood and across the ocean to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind., where she founded SMWC in 1840, all the way to being declared a saint in 2006. Easy to read with beautiful illustrations, "Saint Theodora and Her Promise to God" makes Saint Mother Theodore Guerin's tale accessible to children of all ages.
"All children were, and always will be, dear to Saint Theodora," said Doyle, of Geneva, Ill. "I know when any child comes to her in prayer, she greets them with open, loving arms. I love Saint Theodora more every day and wrote this book so children could know and love her also."
Doyle's other books include "Young in the Spirit," "Grieving with Mary, "The Seven Principles of Sainthood," "The Rosary Prayer by Prayer," and "Mentoring Heroes." She also writed two blogs, "Saint Theordora/Saint Mother Theodore Guerin" and "Midwest Mary."
"Saint Theodora and Her Promise to God" is available for purchase through the Sisters of Providence Gift Shop. It is also available in the ebook form on Amazon.

Time to do some good!by Operation Foodie in View All Posts, January 20th, 2009
Today, history is being made. Today, our busy Studio A is dark because our talent is heading down to Washington, DC. Everyday, we should set aside a little time to do something good for our communities, but, today, is a great day to start if you haven't already!
Whether bringing a few cans of food down to the local food shelter, letting someone have your seat on the bus or train, baking a pie and bringing it to your neighbor, whatever. Food is the ultimate way (in my opinion) to show people that you care about their health, happiness, and well being.
Tonight, I'll be attending a benefit for keeping New York's food pantries stocked! Many pantries across the country are being hit hard because of the financial crunch. I cannot wait to bring in my cans and packages and mingle with like minded do-gooders.
Happy Inauguration Day!

(This Bulletin was originally published May 5, 2005. Titled "Kid's Workout Journal")
Workout journals are a cool thing. I don't use one right now, but I should. I am going to start again. Just before the Atomic Athletic Great Black Swamp Olde Time Strongman Picnic I found one of my journals from when I was about 12 or 13. It was really cool.
"No excuses!!!!"
That was a headline on one of those pages, written from a 12 year old to himself. I like to think that I haven't changed much.
Today, my workouts are never the same and don't follow a set plan, except for some generalities. I work too many hours and with shipments coming in and going out, I never know what I am actually doing from one day to the next. My goals are a little different from back then. I started making my change today.
That 12 year old kid knew something. How about this, "Goal: find new exercises for Jacob's Ladder training. I WILL win the $10."
How is that for motivation? I would like $10 today, for completing a Jacob's ladder climb. It was a lot more then and a lot harder for a 12 year old to get it. My list of "new" exercises included: 6 different kinds of push-ups, rope climbing, "rope push-ups", pull ups, chin ups, monkey bar work and hanging upside down on the Jacob's Ladder. For those of you who don't know, this is not the motorized thing, by the same name, that you will find in some commercial gyms. Those give a nice workout, but I doubt anyone ever got a concussion from one. Of course, I also worked climbs on my belly, hands-knees-feet, hands & feet and forwards and backwards. After all, I was planning on working the carneys! I guess that is why I loved watching Andrew Durniat in the pull up competition at the picnic.
That guy did 23 perfect pull ups. I was really hoping no one would jump in and do some really bad cheating pull ups and beat him. Nobody did. Andrew got his chin over the bar with every rep. He also came down to full extension, with at least a second of full relaxation between each rep. Even more amazing was the fact that he did a short tri-athalon that morning. He earned that Atomic Athletic Retro Gas Station Jacket. He earned it with more than just his performance that Saturday. He earned it with every workout he put in before that. This was just some of the pay off. Congrats Andrew.
All the best,
Roger LaPointe
PS. I know that 12 or 13 year old would not have understood the responsibilities I have today, but then again, he would have still said, "get back in that gym, you don't get stronger sitting at a computer." I know that to be a fact, as I read it in the journal...

With the recent security issues with DropBox http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=821 http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=735 http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/20/dropbox-security-bug-made-passwords-optional-for-four-hours/ http://paranoia.dubfire.net/2011/04/how-dropbox-sacrifices-user-privacy-for.html you may be considering adopting an additional encryption strategy.
TrueCrypt http://www.truecrypt.org/ a cross-platform encryption solution has been recommended by a few sites. It works by creating an encrypted disk file, which you can store in Dropbox. The one issue with this strategy is it is very hard to sync differences in the file. This means a few file changes could result in the re-syncing of your entire encrypted disk file, which really diminishes the value of Dropbox.
The solution I ultimately went with is BoxCryptor http://www.boxcryptor.com/ for Windows & EncFS http://www.arg0.net/encfs for OSX. BoxCryptor is compatible with EncFS so data you use on one OS should be viewable on the others. The big advantage of BoxCryptor/EncFS over TrueCrypt is it uses a pass-thru filesystem. Instead of creating one big file that stores all of your data it encrypts each individual file (including its filename) separately. This is a big win when using syncing software such as Dropbox.
BoxCryptor is pretty straightforward to install and run on Windows so I won't go into the installation details.
Installing EncFS on OSX requires a bit more work. Here are some basic instructions. Note, if you are going to share between Windows & OSX I recommend first creating your Secure directory with BoxCryptor, it'll keep you from having to pass in special flags to encfs.
- Install the Mac Developer Tools (aka XCode)
- If you have your Snow Leopard disk handy you can install the developer tools from there. I believe it is under the Extras directory.
- If you are running the latest version of Snow Leopard and have the App Store installed, you can download and install XCode 4 from there, which will give you access to all of the needed tools.
- Download and install MacPorts http://www.macports.org/
- To make sure macports is up to date, run sudo port –v selfupdate
- Then run sudo port install encfs
- This should automatically resolve any dependencies
- Note, this takes a long time to run, I recommend grabbing a cup of coffee after kicking it off
- Reboot your system
- Assuming your Encrypted file system is in ~/Dropbox/Secure run the following
- (optional) If you haven't created your encfs yet run: mkdir ~/Dropbox/Secure
- mkdir ~/DropboxSecure
- encfs ~/Dropbox/Secure ~/DropboxSecure
- It'll ask you for the password
- You should now be able to see your files in the ~/DropboxSecure directory
- To unmount the encrypted drive run: umount ~/DropboxSecure
The overhead for the encryption is minimal. I was seeing about a 20ms increase in running the ls command on an identical directory. Now your files are secure even if your Dropbox account is compromised.

Dave Spencer Relives a Memorable Vacation Out West
When I get the chance, I try to plan my vacations around a very special goal I created for myself many years ago. That goal is to visit every state in the union. I made this decision after visiting California with my family as a teen. At the time, California seemed to be a mythical place where few people like me ever got to go. Hey, I was 14. So I thought, "If I can go to California, why not everywhere else?" And this year, I got to add a few more slices of "everywhere else" to my very own American pie.

The burden of responsibility for success lies with the student provided the teacher has given proper instruction and motivation to reach these goals.I believe that there are four basics of the golf swing which must be fundamentally sound.

What Are The Best Golf Clubs For Woman
|In the 17th century, Mary, Queen of Scots, had this bit registered in the St. Andrews official city log: she buried her husband in the morning, then, "besported herself at golfe with a young knave." Women have taken up Mary's mashie niblick and today, except for a few isolated enclaves, are welcome to play anywhere in the world. Golf club makers have obviously begun to see there's a growing market for women's clubs, and we can probably begin seeing an increase in advertising to boost the female market.
Women's golf club design and manufacturing substantially trails the same factors for men. For quite some time, manufacturers have felt there wasn't enough money to be made to really zero in on producing clubs designed just for women. Some companies are beginning to see the light and women can one day expect to walk in a golf shop and find clubs that are just as carefully designed for men.
Most women need golf clubs that are built shorter than for men – "built shorter," not cut down to fit. Many women golfers don't generate great club-head speed, with the exception being members of the LPGA tour and well advanced amateurs. Women with swing speeds around 60 mph should consider acquiring a driver with a special titanium face. They aren't always easy to find but are worth the effort.
Women with slower swing speeds need to use fairway woods that have higher lofts. Other designs meant to help elevate a golf shot include having an offset hosel or using a club with a more flexible shaft. Another suggested requisite for slower swings is not to have any iron in your bag that plays longer than a six or seven iron. Only stronger players should include five irons and four irons as part of their arsenal. Think about using clubs that have a well rounded sole in order to help prevent chunking the club into the ground and leaving your shot well short of the target. Don't choose large headed clubs; instea...

Where Can I Buy Discounted Golf Clubs
|If you're looking to try a different set of golf clubs – your old clubs aren't working to the best of your ability or you have just decided to get serious about the game – consider buying clubs at discounted prices. They are available on the Internet, in various golf stores and can even be found at golf course pro shops. Many of these venues offer discounted prices for top-notch brand names that include everything from drivers to specially-crafted wedges and putters.
It's a good idea to first know what clubs you would like to purchase. This sets the stage for comparing prices by going to various venders and learning who has the best offer. In particular, reviewing online price comparisons can make this part of the buying process easier and faster. There are an insane number of golf club discount outlets that sell via the Internet. Look them up and determine which ones offer the best deal for what you want. Of course, should a local golf shop offer special deals that rival or exceed the savings found online, go for it. You'll get what you want immediately and won't have to worry about shipping expenses that might be part of an online price.
Make sure you go after a specific club if you order online. This helps guarantee you're not going to wind up with a club, or clubs, that aren't exactly what you wanted. Also, don't always rely on a general online search to identify your desired club. And be especially careful about purchasing from sites like E-bay, where there might be counterfeits offered as the real thing. That's an insult to the marketing process, but it does happen and you don't want any part of such scams.
Some online discounters have plans to enable steady customers to take advantage of special offers. Things like accumulated credits and carry-over savings connected to multiple purchases can add benefits to whatever original discount price was offered. There likely will also be reduced or non...

Although it's tempting to use the Personal mode of Wi-Fi security, which is easy to setup and use, businesses and organizations really need to use the Enterprise mode of WPA2--also known as 802.11i. Although it requires a RADIUS server to do the 802.1X authentication and is more complex to setup, it provides superior Wi-Fi security and can save you time and money in the long run.

In the Women at the Top blog, we dedicate a lot of electronic ink to the reasons for the lack of female representation in upper management and executive positions: a dearth of women role models, too few companies with family-friendly policies, straight-up discrimination – to name just a few. But one reason we've hardly touched on is the healthy male ego and the obstacle that it poses to women trying to get ahead.

You need 4 keys to smart cast 4 main abilities (Q,W,E,R). You need 4 more to self cast those same abilities (A,S,D,F). You need a few item buttons (1,2,3). Summoner spells (4,T). 6 mouse buttons isnt enough to replace everything even on just one side of a keyboard. Reply
evonitzer - Tuesday, March 05, 2013 - linkUm, really? A multi-button mouse does not replace the keyboard. Duh. It adds buttons for extra uses.

I do not know how to respond to this comment, frankly. Multibutton mouses are pretty standard these days and can be pretty useful. Outside of gaming environments too. But you still need a monitor, and a computer, and probably a chair for it to be of much use. And a keyboard. Reply

Just backs up that Asus has really dropped in term of customer service. never had much faith in MSI Reply
Marlin1975 - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkOh and why exchange? Just order new board and send other back for refund. That way you are not down why they are cross shipping.
Ot better yet get refund and either wait for Z68 or bulldozer Reply
iamezza - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkSimple.
If you cross ship there is no down time for you, only the time it takes you to physically install the new board. Personally I would WAY prefer to do it this way then have to take my old board back the the store and wait however long it takes them to get a new one. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - link---- It's sad this is the only news being posted.
This would be a good time for Intel (or another worthy manuf.) to release some good info on their SSDs.
Come to think of it, I'm curious how Western Digital is going to respond to their last flop. Reply

goinginstyle - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkIt was easy for Gigabyte just to say return the board to your reseller and wipe their hands of this mess. At least ASUS and MSI thought it out and as for ASUS, they do have an advanced RMA procedure that is listed on the FAQ page. There is no downtime and no wondering if I take my GB board down to Microcenter if they will have a replacement or not. Reply
mpetzold - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkAgreed. I purchased my GA-P67A-UD4 over at Frys retail, and I stopped over there last night to discuss with a supervisor (since my receipt is 3 weeks old, and the standard Frys return policy is 15 days for motherboards).
Frys informed me that because of the recall they could 'make an exception' to allow me to return the board now, but there was no way they will accept the board for an exchange in April once the replacements are available...
I am a bit disappointed in Gigabytes handling, as it will undoubtably pass the hastle of these exchanges onto the consumer. Since I'm unwilling to return the board now and be without a home PC for that long, I'm going to wait it out and hope that Gigabyte allows for exchanges directly once the replacement parts are available. Reply
cbass64 - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkThe guy at Fry's didn't know what he was talking about then. They have already been refunded for all the recalled boards they had in stock AND all the boards they sold. So Frys is obligated to extend their warranty as long as Intel extended theirs on those specific boards. Reply

taboc741 - Friday, February 11, 2011 - linkAs a microcenter employee I know that corporate has already issued a policy that return or exchange on the recalled boards (of any manufacture) will be taken up until the new boards are available and period of time past that. Though the document said they were still working with our suppliers to find out how long we can make that policy for. Please remember though, this only applies to boards/computers purchased from Microcenter. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkFYI, neither company waited until today to announce their plans... Maybe the press release went out today or Anandtech just got around to reporting it, but representatives for both companies had announced these policies by last Friday (at least) on enthusiast message boards or if you called them directly... They're both doing more than GB's doing anyway, by providing replacements directly instead of whenever the seller gets stock, and providing expedited cross shipping options.
I've no allegiance to either of them btw... My last mobo was an ASUS P5Q Pro for a C2Q and I was very happy with it. I just bought MSI's P67A-GD55 for a SB system I haven't even had the time to put together but I'm very happy with how MSI has handled the recall. Reply
davehcyj - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkAsus made an announcement the same day as Gigabyte, its just Anandtech didn't cover it until now. Also MSI followed right behind Asus, but apparently just recently changed their policy on cross shipping. Reply
cactusdog - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkCorrect, I posted the link to the Asus recall statement in the story about Gigabyte but obviously he didnt read the comments. I saw recall statements from just about all the manufacturers when Gigabyte released theirs. Reply
Etern205 - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkAsus posted their statement on Feb 1st.
And a member from VR-Zone posted a topic on Feb 4th
This site took 7 days to get this info up... Reply
dertechie - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkThis was announced a few days ago, same day as the Gigabyte announcement. Anandtech was otherwise occupied with shiny smartphones, and it's not like any of the companies can actually do anything about exchanges until February.
I got mine through Microcenter, I'll have to check their exact policies, I think I may be able to do the exchange there in person. Got an email from them about 2 days after the bug came to light about it.
So long as it's on Intels dime, everyone is going to be as accommodating as they can. Reply
aaron88_7 - Wednesday, February 09, 2011 - linkTook long enough? Asus found out about this recall no earlier than you or I, setting up the procedures for a massive recall is no easy feat and you're complaining about how long it took? You can't even get a new board until April so what difference does it matter how long they take to draw up the plans for their recall policy?
I think it's pretty awesome they will let us cross ship the board so I can simply swap out the old with the new. My biggest worry was being without a computer for a week or more while waiting on the RMA process. You call that dropping the ball?
I think some people just want something to complain about. This isn't Asus's fault, it is Intel's fault. If you are going to complain at least blame the right people!! Reply
StinkyPinky - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkWhat's the point of exchange? Sounds like the better option by far is to just get new board and then send in the old one for a refund. No downtime and you can pick which board you want. Reply
quiksilvr - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkThat's what I was thinking as well, but I guess to save headaches on their end the exchange option works best. Reply
AnnihilatorX - Thursday, February 10, 2011 - linkBut the refund window depends on when you bought the board. I bought this in January, It would be great if the vendor offers refund in April but I doubt it. Reply
benchiu - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkThere is an advanced RMA option for Asus (haven't looked at MSI).
"ASUS will provide a cross-ship option that offers the customer the least amount of system downtime. Upon the receipt of a valid credit card number and approval, a temporary charge hold will be placed against the customer's credit card for the MSRP value of the replacement product. The replacement product will be shipped to the customer and a prepaid label for return of the existing product will be provided. Upon return of the defective product and verification against the RMA, the temporary charge hold on the customer's credit card will be lifted."

DanNeely - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkThe Asus advanced RMA program has been around for a while. IIRC it being an option when I sent back an AMD 939 board several years ago. Reply
AnotherHariSeldon - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkGiven the aggravation this is going to cause, I was expecting a minimum of being able to receive a replacement board BEFORE returning the faulty one.
A free Z68 upgrade could then have been offered as a gesture to the early adopters of SB.
It's going to take me considerable time to remove the mobo, and replace with the new one. Will Intel be reimbursing me for this time at my chargable hourly rate?
I was planning on buying another SB but given this poor show of customer service by Intel I might just give some business to AMD, provided Bulldozer is competitive.
A note to intel - consumers vote with their wallets. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkCross shipping and advance RMA are in the control of the vendors/retailers; excepting Intel branded boards they have no control over it. I suspect that it being offered 1155 systems is going to come down to which companies already offered it in advance. You can't make that sort of change to your systems over the weekend Reply
gevorg - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkWhat about Intel(Foxconn) motherboards? Reply
jwmcpeak - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - link"These are Intel's most loyal customers, the ones willing to pay top dollar on day one to buy the latest and greatest."
No, we're not. I'm loyal to whoever provides the best performance at the best price. That's Intel right now. The only reason I bought SB was because it offers considerable performance gains over my current setup, and I need my computer to earn money.
I echo AnotherHariSeldon's question: Is Intel going to reimburse me the money I lose while my computer is down? At the very least, I should have a B3 board in my case and proved to be working before the B2 board is sent back. Reply

ggathagan - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkIt's been on their website for the last week Reply
dennishodge - Wednesday, February 09, 2011 - linkThankfully, ASROCK has FOUR SATA-III ports on the Extreme4 MB (two on a Marvell controller, my DVD lives there along with the external SATA port), so I'm just gonna stick with the defective board I think. Thanks to Anandtech and the commenters here for helping me a fortunate decision! This doesn't really work for you crazy RAIDers (I only have an SSD + one HDD) Reply
harbin - Wednesday, February 09, 2011 - linkWell I have 7 hard drives and 1 blu-ray. I have to use every sata ports. It's a little bit disappoting that asrock hasn't come up with anything except that they "will continue working with Intel for the permanent solution to this quality issue." it's been like that for a week now. Reply
DigitalFreak - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkAny news from Intel on how they will handle replacement of their own retail motherboards? Reply
ggathagan - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkFrom Intel's website:
Q: Which specific Intel®-branded desktop motherboards are affected?
A: Intel®-branded motherboards that are potentially affected include: DP67BG , DP67DE, DP67BA, DH67GD, DH67CL, DH67CF, DH67BL.
Q: What is the process for returning opened or integrated Intel® 6 Series Chipset motherboards to distributors?
A: Intel is requesting that distributors accept returns from their customers opened or unopened (even beyond 30 days) if affected by this issue. Reply

RikkiTikkiTavi - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkI think it's almost a shame I haven't finished the deal with those two SB PCs I was going to build for customers.
Sure, it would have been a pain taking them appart again to replace the mainboard, but at least I could have charged Intel for my time then. At 20€/hour with travel expenses I could have made a cool 200€.
Sure they wouldn't have payed right away, but thankfully I know very good lawyers. Reply

I would love to get a refund on my P67 board and just grab Z67 even if its a few dollars more. In early January it wasn't worth the wait, but if we have to wait till April anyway...
I'd love to see another article or even hopefully some (pre/re)views once more is known about Z67! Reply

sweetspot - Friday, February 11, 2011 - linkWell the part is defective, doesn't matter if other pieces work or not, that would be like saying hey my power windows on my new car work great but engine wont start due to recall, guess ill wait for a trade in.
They are aware of a defect and issued a proper recall, selling known defective items intentionally to consumer is called consumer fraud and illegal, hence the recall ?? Reply
BlueLikeYou - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkReplacing the MB will be a pain even if I don't have any downtime. Right now I'm just using the four 6Gb SATA ports on my P8P67. I wonder if it would just be easier to keep doing that, and just get a PCI card if/when I want to add additional drives. Reply
grumpysonne - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkI finally got my rig together and was thankful for having the 2 'extra' Sata rev3 ports to use. I was planning on getting a swap when the new mobos were out.
I had my ssd and main hd on the marvell ports and my rig was horribly unstable...bsods every 20 min and the error was an irq timeout with the marvell driver.
I had to move my ssd and main hd to the intel ports move my backup hd and DVD to the marvell ports.
I'm pretty unhappy with the whole thing...and now I get to undo everything and rebuild in April...oh joys. I'm pretty sure that I won't be going with a new asus board...
I'll be seriously looking for AMD replacement. Reply
fc1204 - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkhmmm... comparing the intel chipset issue with the apple iphone 4 antenna issue the early adopters seem to share the role as the suckers.
and i wonder who at intel will be offered up to the chopping block for this snafu. though that person would be quickly hired by the postal service or ups/fedex that does the rma shipping for helping create new business.
and the silver lining? job creation to be claimed by both obama and the new republican house. Reply
philosofa - Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - linkWhen it comes to the crunch Gigabyte have really pulled through for their customers. Thankfully I'm still on 1156, as otherwise I'd be rather disheartenedat either MSI or ASUS for making me pay to exchange a faulty product that at the end of the day I bought with them. Kudos to big G and its distributors., my next board will be a Gigabyte. Reply
darklight0tr - Thursday, February 10, 2011 - linkThe article has been updated - shipping will be paid both ways by both ASUS and MSI and both are offering Advanced Exchange. What else do you want them to do? I think that is very fair. Reply

so i was hoping Intel would improve but apparently they have not!

So BT, arguably the UKs biggest ISP/telco, in my opinion are a complete bag of fail. Now I guess writing this means, that I'll probably never work for them, but hey, who would want to?
I've dealt with BT whilst working at $dayjob-1, and the incompetence I saw there, was shocking to say the least. That I can deal with, I got paid to deal with it, but when it's in my time it's a different story.
BT or rather BTOpenzone serve a huge amount of establishments with their Wifi 'Cloud' offering. Most places like Starbucks, if you have a registered account with them, will happily let you use it for free.
However before you can do this, you need to go through the authentication process with BT. This basically hijacks any DNS request you send, and redirects you to a the auth page. That's kind of ok, for most users.
However most times when I use it, it's a complete failure.
- They use port 8443 for SSL, instead of the standard 443. This can play havock with local firewalls.
- The certificate they use for www.btopenzone.com is not valid for that domain, so most browsers will flag a massive security warning.
- Their DNS often is broken.
- If it is working, the webserver you try to connect to, isn't running (connection refused).
The last two are especially annoying, like today, in Starbucks (Whitechappel Road). I switch the macbook on, join their wifi, get an IP and DGW, then any page I go to, should redirect me to their auth page. However seems it is slightly broken, as normal.
So this is telling me that Safari cannot connect to the server. This can be a bit vague, so you need to dig a bit deeper. Open up your terminal and try to simulate what the browser is doing.
So you telnet to www.btopenzone.com on port 8443. You get a connection refused. This means that from my macbook, I got over their network, right to the end server, which is saying 'Hey, that port is open, but I don't have anything running on it'.
I've no idea what is on the backend of btopenzone.com however looking at the DNS resolution:
Luke-Sheldricks-Mac-4:~ luke$ dig www.btopenzone.com
; DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> www.btopenzone.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 15147
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;www.btopenzone.com. IN A
www.btopenzone.com. 17378 IN A 220.127.116.11
It's only returning a single IP, which could be the IP of a load balancer, and then a number of servers behind that IP. However I wouldn't expect all of them to fail.
With the helpful tool nmap, we can see:
80/tcp open http SunONE WebServer 6.1
442/tcp open ssl/http SunONE WebServer 6.1
443/tcp open ssl/http SunONE WebServer 6.1
8443/tcp open ssl/http Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1
So using an old Solaris 8 server (the current version is 10) to run their authentication services. Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surpised if there is only one server back there. The amount of times I've seen this, really does go to show how under speced their 'solution is'. I look after massive solutions in $dayjob, and this kind of thing would never happen, and if it did, certainly wouldn't for long.
To sum up: BT you suck.


text: I will be in Brooklyn, NY for a concert on friday night and will be staying through the weekend, and missing awesome surf back home further south. I will be leaving Sunday morning and driving back but am going to stop on the way back at Long Beach to catch some surf. How cold is the water? and Was wondering if anyone would be willing to surf with me or let me surf with them, its always more fun to surf with someone than alone.

Grove City College's Department of Education is unique in providing real-life teaching experiences throughout your entire time in the program. The department has a philosophy of learning by doing and has given me extensive experience teaching in local schools—in every subject and in many grade levels. These opportunities to teach in real classrooms have been the keystone in my pre-professional training. As a result, I feel well prepared to teach my future students and to manage my future classroom.
The education courses at Grove City College are taught by experienced and knowledgeable professors who have spent many years teaching in elementary and middle schools themselves. I have formed personal relationships with many of my instructors and have consequently earned invaluable wisdom that I intend to apply once I'm graduated and in the field of education.
Throughout my time as an education major, I have learned the history of many educational theories in the college classroom and applied them in the local elementary school classrooms.
Many veteran teachers insist that few college courses can truly prepare you for the challenges in the classroom today. Grove City College is one of the few because it prepares you through real-world experience. That's what makes a degree in education at Grove City College so valuable.

Virginia Mill Works Co.- 3/4" x 5" Summer Palace Maple Prefinished Handscraped Solid Flooring- 30 Year Warranty
Colonial American homes were built with wooden floors that were sawn using basic hand-held tools. The hand-crafted workmanship that went into those floors can be found in Virginia Mill Works handscraped floors. About Handscraped Flooring:Handscraped or distressed hardwood floors have a natural worn appearance. They look like floors from the days when floors were finished by hand. Please note this product is a nominal 3/4" thick, but due to its scraping process the thickness may be as thin as 5/8" in the scraped areas.

This article, entitled "The Dirty Dozen," comes from Annie Payne, MomsEveryday correspondent from Western Colorado.
There are plenty of arguments for eating organic produce, but if you can't always choose organic, you may want to consider doing so at least when it comes to "the dirty dozen." This is a list put out by the Environmental Working Group of the fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residue.
Ranking at number one for the most pesticides are apples, followed by strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches, spinach, sweet bell peppers, imported nectarines, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, imported snap peas and potatoes.
On the other end of the spectrum, avocados, sweet corn, pineapples and cabbage ranked as produce with the fewest levels of pesticides.

A spectacular crash from newly-crowned champion Jorge Lorenzo allowed Dani Pedrosa to claim victory in the final MotoGP race of the season in Valencia.
Lorenzo wrapped up the championship with victory in Australia last month, but he was unable to register his seventh win of the season on Sunday amid wet conditions at the Spanish circuit.
Yamaha rider Lorenzo burst into the lead after a frenetic opening ahead of Pedrosa, but the champion crashed out of the race near the halfway point as he attempted a tricky overtaking manoeuvre on a back marker.
With a healthy lead over Pedrosa, Lorenzo shifted his bike to the edge of the track as he tried to overtake, but the wet conditions made his bike slip and he flew off into the gravel at pace. He walked away unharmed.
From that moment Pedrosa, who started from the pit lane with slick tyres, started to open up a gap between himself and Katsuyuki Nakasuga and he never looked back.
The 27-year-old, who was already guaranteed second place in the championship, finished the race nearly 37 seconds ahead of Nakasuga, who only joined the Yamaha Factory Racing team two weeks ago because of an injury to Ben Spies.
Pedrosa said afterwards: "I am really happy because the conditions made it so much more difficult out there. I stayed really calm and I think it was the right decision to start on slicks."
Two-time world champion Casey Stoner finished third in his last-ever race.
Stoner told BBC Sport: "I took the easy way out today by starting on wet tyres and to be honest, I was scared of crashing. I didn't want to injure my foot any more than I have already, especially in my last race. You can see there were a lot of crashes today.
"My eyes were the size of dinner plates the whole race. With a couple of laps to go I decided to go for it and it's a fantastic way to end it. I want to thank all my supporters down the years."

DAVID Flitcroft has been in football long enough to understand the day-to-day pressures of the job, both as a player and as a coach, but he hinted this week that management takes it to another level.
As an outsider looking in, I am sure every Bury supporter would agree he seems to be doing a fantastic job.
But the majority of the work done by a football manager goes unnoticed and as the season winds down to a close that other workload – away from matchday and the training pitch – really does come to the fore.
He gave an insight into that juggling act in his post-match press conference on Saturday, running through the list of jobs to do, which included organising the summer recruitment process and boxing off the pre-season programme.
But chief among the grisly jobs has to be sorting out the retained list – deciding which players to offer new contracts to and which to release.
Some players go into that meeting knowing they have fallen out of favour. They are the easy ones to deal with as they have probably already been looking at alternatives.
But some players will have no inkling about the bad news coming their way.
I remember going into Billy McNeill's office after four years at Manchester City with my speech already prepared, expecting to convince him why I deserved a pay rise from £85 to £120 a week.
When Billy told me he was releasing me, the bottom literally fell out of my world.
Ultimately, it was the best thing that ever happened to me as I ended up moving to Bury and learning what being a proper footballer was all about.
But at the time I was devastated.
Letting a young player go is tough, but they have time to recover. Having that talk with a player at the tail end of his career can be even harder.
Looking at the list of players Flickers will be having that chat with, you realise how tough this week could be for him.
I have already gone on record as saying Brian Jensen deserves another year, but you just don't know the way the manager wants to go.
Experienced players like Chris Sedgwick, Tommy Miller and Clive Platt are all fantastic professionals who can still do a job for Bury at this level.
They have also shown this season they can help bring the younger players through, but David may want to go down a completely different route.
These are all massive decisions, which will have a far-reaching impact on Bury's next season, but this is why Flickers became a manager and what he gets paid to do.

I'm just curious how this decision was made? What was OS was BT and BT2 based on? Wasn't BT2 slackware based? If so, why is BT moving to Ubuntu? Political? Slackware is nice, transparent, reliable, old school, and very stable. Why would BT want to move to Ubuntu?
I'm not flaming, just curious what the core reasons are for moving from slackware to ubuntu.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

Alana Rains - Only Teen Blowjobs
Released: March 13, 2013
Alana Rains is our first nurse/psychologist/pornstar. She's only a few weeks past her 18th birthday and she's full of hopes and dreams. So far, most of her dreams have been about cock, because she couldn't wait until was legal enough to star in her first porn movie. Alana has a petite body and tiny boobs that are a perfect mouth full. She's small, but she loves big, thick cocks that are as fat as her wrist and when she gets one, she immediately tries so swallow it all the way down. Alana must have been studying lots of porn because she barely gags, even when she fucks her own throat. We let her suck circles around this big cock and then put a little cream on her pink tongue. You're going to be seeing a lot of our little ginger dreamgirl.

Authorities have swooped on a courier accused of importing drugs with the alleged help of Sydney Airport Customs officers amid fresh revelations that some of the drug mules involved in the scandal risked the death penalty by moving drugs through Singapore.
Among other developments in the growing Customs corruption scandal, a Fairfax investigation can also reveal that up to four Customs officers suspected of involvement in serious corruption remain working at the airport.
Also still working at the airport are a small number of suspected corrupt baggage handlers who have links to alleged drug trafficker Joseph Harb and are holders of federal government Aviation Security Identity Cards.
The arrest on Saturday of the courier brings to 10 the number of alleged drug traffickers, including two Customs officers and a quarantine official, so far charged as part of a major probe into drug trafficking, money laundering and bribery involving a small group of Sydney Airport Customs staff.
The courier is facing drug-trafficking charges and is the sixth drug mule to be arrested since August last year. The couriers are accused of helping to import millions of dollars worth of drugs into Australia since at least 2009.
It's understood that anti-corruption investigators from the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity, along with their federal police counterparts, are planning to make several more arrests in the coming months.
Fairfax - which reported the existence of the corrupt airport cell last December - can also reveal that most of the suspected corrupt Customs staff have been identified as belonging to a small team of officers who worked shifts together at Sydney Airport.
Because this team of officers worked in the same international passenger checking team, known as a ''stream'', they were able to work together to move bags filled with contraband past the various security checks required at the airport.
On at least one occasion, it's believed a courier transited through Singapore airport with his load of drugs before flying into Sydney. Drug mules caught at Singapore airport risk the death penalty.
The suspected corrupt Customs officials also advised couriers on how to move large bundles of drug money out of
Australia, in breach of laws that require any cash amount over $10,000 to be declared to Customs. Some of the money earned from the drug sales has gone to the coffers of the Comanchero outlaw bikie club.
It appears that an alleged ringleader of the group would wait until certain Customs staff were working the same shift before giving the green light for couriers to pass through the airport after flying from overseas destinations with their drug loads. This happened around every three months.
Staff who were not initially corrupt were convinced by this ringleader to perform certain tasks in return for payments of several thousand dollars.
A serious challenge for the multiple agencies working on the Customs probe, code-named Operation Marca, is dealing with officials who may not be charged due to insufficient evidence but who are strongly believed to have still engaged in corruption or serious misconduct.
As many as 20 officers from Sydney airport may fall into this category.
Another major challenge for the investigation will be finding enough evidence to arrest senior organised crime figures, including a well-known Sydney Lebanese crime boss, who are tied to the corrupt cell but have kept at arm's length to avoid detection.
The two Customs officers so far charged by Operation Marca are Adrian Lamella and Paul Katralis, who have both been remanded in custody on serious drug trafficking and corruption charges.
Katralis is re-appearing in court today.

ONE in three young Australians says Christmas makes them feel worried, depressed and lonely, a survey has revealed.
The poll of 12 to 25-year-olds, also found that 16 per cent were dreading Christmas so much they would be relieved if it was cancelled.
The figures - commissioned by youth national mental health foundation headspace - have prompted calls for young people to be better supported during the summer holidays.
Feelings of isolation, boredom and conflict with family were listed as major worries for the 500 people surveyed.
Of the 88 per cent who said they had some negative thoughts about Christmas, two-thirds said they experienced tension with relatives. One in three worried about not having their friends around and being alone, while more than half had concerns about spending too much money.
''For young people, most of their support is through their friendships, and over Christmas they lose that structure, particularly those who are isolated from their friends in rural and regional areas,'' said headspace chief executive Chris Tanti. ''That creates enormous problems for kids, particularly if they have a pretty average relationship with their parents and the rest of their family.
''It's a very social period as well, so if you struggle with anxiety in that context, then it makes it a very difficult time. For certain young people who are depressed, all of those feelings are heightened - the sense of alienation, the fact they can't even get into the spirit of being with their families and giving and receiving gifts and socialising. They're more likely to blame themselves and feel a lot worse because they can't just do what everyone else is able to do.''
The survey also found that social media was an important tool in helping young people alleviate the stresses of the Christmas holidays.
More than half said they would use it to escape family tensions and loneliness, while 46 per cent said it would help them feel less depressed.
Jane Burns, head of the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre - a not-for-profit organisation exploring the role of technology in improving youth mental health - said social media played a vital role for young people during difficult times.
''Meaningful relationships are important for a sense of wellbeing, and being able to connect through social media to other young people really does give that sense of purpose and connection,'' Dr Burns said.
Mr Tanti said more investment was needed in mental health services during the festive period as many services were scaled back. Those experiencing difficulties were encouraged to limit alcohol use, reach out to friends, and access online counselling services such as eheadspace for support.
