SKF to demonstrate total cost-saving sealing solutions at IFPE
2014 February 25, 14:00 CET
Gothenburg, Sweden, 25 February 2014: SKF will be showing how its knowledge and expertise in developing sealing solutions that will increase system efficiency and save money for customers at IFPE (International Fluid Power Exhibition) 2014.
Among the innovations on show from SKF will be a number of solutions for the Fluid Power industry. An animation will demonstrate the complex hydraulic systems of an excavator that operate continuously in all conditions driven by the hydraulic pump, highlighting the different bearing configurations and demonstrating a sealing solution in proprietary SKF material.
The exhibits on the stand will also demonstrate how SKF addressed a significant concern for Brevini Fluid Power, cutting the high level of premature seal failures through a new SKF sealing solution. Visitors to the SKF stand can also see the four new fluid system seals for hydraulic cylinders in the SKF range; three new piston seals manufactured in SKF proprietary materials and the new "Best in Class" S1S rod seal. In addition, the rotary hydraulic manifold display will demonstrate how the critical hydraulic circuits that power the rotational movement of a machine can be protected with SKF sealing solutions.
SKF brings together unique technologies for producing both machined and moulded seals according to customer needs. Whether it is for a development project or to solve a specific customer problem, SKFs capability to produce seals from small to large volume with flexibility and speed offers customers a reliable sealing partner who can support them throughout the life cycle of their equipment.

Pistons take fans with them for London game vs. Knicks
- Detroit Pistons play New York Knicks in London on Thursday
- Pistons technically home team for special event and will bring 180 with them for game
- Team executives see game as chance to grow Pistons brand internationally
Michael Colburn read his e-mail a few days after Christmas and at first couldn't believe his eyes.
A message from Palace Sports & Entertainment told him he was headed to London.
At first he thought it was a joke. But he remembered seeing the promotion in the Detroit Free Press a few days before Christmas. He joined one of the Detroit Pistons fan clubs to be registered in the contest, but he had forgotten about it during the busy holiday season.
So the 57-year-old resident of Clinton Township, Mich., who has been a Pistons fan since the Cobo Arena days, called the number and discovered it was no joke. He is headed to London to watch the Pistons face the New York Knicks on Thursday.
OPPOSITION:Knicks snap skid entering London game
The trip was a great holiday treat for Colburn, who was in the United Kingdom in April and seven years ago spent his honeymoon overseas. He also has roots there with both parents from east London.
"To be able to go back to London and see them play against the Knicks and be a part of that is a thrill anyway, but the chance to do it as a part of a contest winner makes it better," Colburn said by phone Friday. "It could have been anywhere, but to be London makes it that much sweeter."
Six other winners — along with a traveling party estimated at 180 — are scheduled to board a charter plane Monday evening. When the event was scheduled in the summer, there was talk that the Pistons would leave right after Saturday night's home game against the Jazz, but since the Knicks play today, the schedule was altered to allow both teams a similar amount of time overseas.
The Pistons will arrive Tuesday and practice that day.
There will be a public practice at the game site — the O2 Arena — Wednesday with an NBA charity event following. Afterward, the Knicks get their chance in front of the fans.
The game Thursday at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. in London) will be televised live on NBATV.
The Knicks represent the top media market in the world, boast one of the most recognizable superstars in Carmelo Anthony and have been one of the best teams in the league this season.
That does not describe the Pistons, who haven't reached the postseason for three seasons. Budding talents Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond and Brandon Knight aren't exactly household names.
However, the league expects its members to participate in helping grow the game, and Palace President Dennis Mannion relishes the global spotlight.
"It shows how big this game is," Mannion said. "It's become a worldwide game with significance. To go over and play a game in London, undoubtedly to a sold-out arena, it's just very special and unique.
"To me the extra branding you get from that and NBATV is a big deal for the franchise."
It's technically a Pistons home game — hence the large traveling party that will board a Boeing 767. Selected members of the entertainment teams (including the Pistons' dancers) will be part of the show. The Palace scoreboard crew will be there as well as selected sponsors.
PS&E used the game as a branding opportunity in Detroit, too. Media outlets were used to promote membership in the team's fan clubs with a possible trip to London as a reward, and Mannion says the clubs' growth reflects that effort.
And that's where Colburn comes in. The Wayne State employee plans to see all the sights and visit family.
But his No. 1 objective?
To get a photo of his 4-foot-10 wife, Marilyn, standing next to 6-10 Drummond.
Vince Ellis writes for the Detroit Free Press.

Annual Report Nepal
Amnesty International - May 24, 2012
Nepal continued to backtrack on commitments to hold perpetrators of human rights abuses accountable before the law. Political parties in government actively subverted justice by demanding the withdrawal of criminal charges in hundreds of cases, including for serious human rights violations committed during the armed conflict. Torture and other ill-treatment in police custody remained widespread. Police increasingly suppressed Tibetan refugees' right to freedom of association and expression. Exploitation of Nepalese migrant workers abroad, including forced labour, continued. Ethnic, religious and gender discrimination and violence against women and girls went largely unchallenged.
The UN Mission in Nepal, tasked with monitoring the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2006, ended operations in January, but key elements of the CPA remained unfulfilled. Elected Prime Minister in February, Jhala Nath Khanal resigned on 14 August after failing to make progress on the peace process, including seeing through the drafting of a new Constitution. Baburam Bhattarai, vice chairperson of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) succeeded him, ultimately overseeing the extension of the mandate of the Constituent Assembly (CA) to 27 May 2012, and pledging to oversee completion of the new Constitution.
Transitional justice
Article 5 of Nepal's CPA provided for the creation of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate alleged human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed during the armed conflict. However, drafting of a bill to create the Commission had yet to be completed. The government continued to make interim payments to families of "conflict victims", but failed to fulfil victims' rights to truth and justice.
Enforced disappearances
The government had yet to set up a commission to investigate thousands of enforced disappearances by parties to the conflict between 1996 and 2006, despite promising to do so by September.
To forge political consensus before the prime ministerial elections, the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) signed an agreement with Terai-based parties to, among other things, withdraw criminal cases lodged against political party members, including for human rights-related offences allegedly committed during the armed conflict. On 28 August, the government announced its intention to implement withdrawals, supported by public statements from the Attorney General.
Torture and other ill-treatment
Human rights defenders opposed the appointment in May of Agni Sapkota, accused of involvement in the 2005 abduction and murder of teacher Arjun Lama, as Minister of Information and Communications. On 21 June, the Supreme Court ordered Kavre district police to report their progress in investigating the case to the court, but stopped short of ordering Agni Sapkota's suspension. In July, the Supreme Court annulled an order blocking the promotion of a senior police officer accused of involvement in the 2003 "Dhanusha 5" case in which five young men, including Sanjiv Kumar Karna, were allegedly killed by security forces. Exhumations of the remains of the five victims were completed in February. In October, Nepal's cabinet recommended an amnesty for Maoist CA member Balkrishna Dhungel, who had been convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in January.
Torture and other ill-treatment in police custody remained widespread. In June, the Nepal-based Centre for Victims of Torture reported that since the end of the armed conflict in 2006, the majority of incidents of torture were perpetrated by the police. Of 989 prisoners interviewed, 74 per cent reported being tortured in custody.
Torture has yet to be criminalized under domestic Nepalese law. During the first assessment of its human rights record under the UN Universal Periodic Review, Nepal denied that systematic torture took place in the country, noting that a bill incorporating provisions of the Convention against Torture was "under active consideration".
Migrant workers
Poverty and high unemployment prompted at least 300,000 documented workers to migrate abroad. Some labour recruiters trafficked migrant workers for forced labour, deceiving them about pay, working conditions, and substituting contracts. High interest rate loans combined with lower pay than promised, and confiscation of identity documents meant many migrants could not refuse to work. Nepal has put in place some laws to protect migrant labourers but in some instances failed to properly monitor recruitment agencies and rarely prosecuted those who violated the Foreign Employment Act.
Freedom of assembly, association and expression
108 migrant workers stranded in Libya without pay by their employer in 2010 were awarded a partial settlement in April. In July, the Department of Foreign Employment and District Attorney General's Office in Nepal recommended the case be forwarded to the Foreign Employment Tribunal for investigation following pressure from the workers, trade unions and Amnesty International.
Police suppression of freedom of association and expression of Tibetan refugees increased, following pressure from China. Peaceful meetings in private buildings were disrupted by police, and people were arrested after displaying banners or slogans supporting political independence for Tibet. Tibetan activists were systematically detained before key dates.
In March, a large group of mainly elderly Tibetan women were prevented by police from travelling by bus to a pilgrimage site.
Discrimination persisted on the basis of ethnicity, religion, gender, economic situation and disability. Despite promulgation on 24 May of the Caste-based Discrimination and Untouchability (Offense and Punishment) Act, Dalits continued to face social and economic exclusion. Gender discrimination continued, particularly among women from marginalized castes and ethnicities. Dalit girls and poor girls from rural areas faced discrimination in accessing education and health care, were more likely to be married as children, and experienced higher rates of child malnutrition.
Violence against women and girls
Police often refused to register complaints in cases of domestic and gender-based violence.
Country Reports
In September, a woman who said she was raped by four army officers in Dailekh in 2004 attempted to lodge a complaint against her attackers, accusing them of rape and torture. But the police in Dailekh refused to comply, noting that the 35-day time limit to register a rape complaint had expired. In 2006, the Supreme Court found the time limit violated international norms and ordered parliament to change the rule; the order was not implemented.
No reports available
Country Visits
Amnesty International delegates visited Nepal in May.

Reddick Bryan was my great-great grandfather. I began this timeline in 1999, soon after contacting Dennis Bryant, an avid Bryant/Bryan researcher from Georgia, who found Reddick in Martin County, North Carolina. The following quote was found in a letter written by Dennis to Larry Martin, a great-grandson of Reddick Bryan.
There is a small hamlet today in Martin County, North Carolina that is called Oak City. It's in the upper end of the county near the Roanoke River. The present name only dates back to l905, but settlers began arriving in that vicinity soon after l700, when it was a part of Chowan Precinct. The county name of this area changed over the years to Bertie County, then Edgecombe County, then Halifax County. In l774, the name became, and has remained, Martin County. Bryans were in the area at least by l749. They were among the earliest settlers in present day Martin County and they acquired many acres of what is still recognized as the best land in the county.
In this blog, you will find posts about this family in chronological order; beginning at the year of Reddick Bryan's birth in 1793.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Wrathful Gladiator's gear – the final tier of PvP gear – is now available to be purchased without an Arena rating. All PvPers can upgrade the majority of their gear to Wrathful using Honor Points.
The text on the gear is still red, and the rating requirement is still there, but you can buy it. The only exceptions I've found so far have been the Shoulders, which require a 2000 rating. The headpiece, which only requires a 1950, is certainly purchasable. I am out of Honor Points to try for some weapons, but will PvP a bit this weekend and test them out. (I was able to purchase a wand, but that's a lower rating requirement than many of the weapons.) I assume the tabard is also out of reach.
So… go forth! Upgrade your gear!
I will be posting updates to the 4.0.1 PvP gear guide as I find out more.
Special thanks to Gnomeaggedon and Hints in the comments for passing this along!

How to Create a Business Continuity Plan
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the least expensive insurance any company can have (especially for small companies, as it costs virtually nothing to produce). Unfortunately, many companies have never taken the time to develop such a plan.
Here you will see suggested steps and considerations, in an abbreviated way, for small companies to create a BCP that will improve their chances of continuing operations during or after significant disasters. Development of a BCP for larger companies is not within the scope of this document.
Business Continuity Plans are sometimes referred to as Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) and the two have much in common. However a DRP should be oriented towards recovering after a disaster whereas a BCP shows how to continue doing business until recovery is accomplished. Both are very important and are often combined into a single document for convenience.

25 habits of toxic people
While it's easy to say that one should always stay away from toxic people, toxic behavior can be difficult to identify, especially when it's present in those we care about - or even in ourselves. It's important to recognize it, however, because staying in a toxic relationship can be damaging to one's emotional and mental well-being.
There are certain behaviors that are telltale signs of a toxic individual, and by identifying these behaviors, you can protect yourself by avoiding or putting down boundaries with this person. If you notice that you yourself display any of these behaviors, working on stopping them and seeking out better coping mechanisms would do wonders for your own self-esteem and the health of your relationships.Shutterstock
Giving unsolicited advice
Unless someone specifically asks for it, giving out advice can be patronizing and interfering. Toxic people are especially prone to do so when it's inappropriate or even when the other person has made clear it's unwelcome; it may offer them a feeling of superiority and control.istockphoto.com
Insulting others
The most toxic thing someone can do is to bring others down. Toxic people will often explicitly insult others, as well as subtly do so in the form of jokes and backhanded compliments. This causes others to feel hurt and self-doubt that can be quite lasting.istockphoto.com
Spreading gossip
Toxic people have a habit of focusing on others rather than doing their own introspection. They take information, or even make up lies, about other people and spread gossip in an effort to hurt the other person's reputation and perhaps even hurt their credibility should they speak out about the toxic person's behavior.istockphoto.com
Excluding others
Gossip is just one way that toxic people engage in relational aggression, a type of aggression in which one causes harm to another by damaging their relationships or social status. Toxic people enjoy pitting others against each other, and they often outright do so by excluding people or encouraging the social ostracism of those they feel threatened by or envious of. Such social exclusion can be very damaging to a person, often having psychological effects.istockphoto.com
Constantly talk about themselves
A big indication that someone is bad news is their lack of interest in others. Some toxic people talk about themselves constantly and show very little regard for other people, turning the conversation back to themselves whenever possible.istockphoto.com
Giving the silent treatment
Unless you're putting down boundaries with someone with whom you know communication is futile, giving another person the silent treatment is an extremely toxic behavior. Not only does this make the other person feel rejected and undesirable, but it also helps the toxic person avoid any confrontation about their behavior.istockphoto.com
Refusing to take ownership of their behavior
Most toxic people will do anything to avoid accepting responsibility for mistakes or toxic behaviors. They tend to shift blame to others or on their circumstances; nothing is ever their fault. This can be especially damaging when the toxic person is treating others badly, as they will make their victims feel as though they have done something to deserve the abuse.istockphoto.com
While sometimes it is necessary to tell a white lie, frequent lying is a sure sign that a person is toxic and difficult to deal with. Whether it's telling constant small fibs or huge lies that affect your entire relationship, this kind of behavior can completely undermine any trust in their relationships.istockphoto.com
An especially insidious kind of lying, gaslighting is when a person tries to create doubt about another person or group's reality. This is typically done to deny abusive behavior, but also to distort reality to their own narrative. When being gaslighted, you'll find that you question your own memory or perception of events and sometimes even your own sanity.istockphoto.com
Verbal abuse
An extremely nasty thing to do is to outright verbally abuse another person with name-calling or attacks on another person's behavior, appearance, personality and more. A toxic person will often do this to take the other person's confidence down, and if someone is subjected to verbal abuse enough, they'll come to internalize it, affecting their self-esteem and even sense of identity.istockphoto.com
Rarely apologizing
Toxic people rarely apologize, if ever at all. As they are loath to take responsibility for their actions, they are very unlikely to say they're sorry, since doing so would mean having to face consequences or make the effort to do better. Many times, when a toxic person does give an apology, it's an attempt to manipulate others into doing what they want.istockphoto.com
Emotional blackmail
Another way toxic people attempt to get what they want is through guilting others. If you refuse to go along with a toxic person's wishes, be prepared for them to try to make you feel like a terrible person for it in order to get you to give in.istockphoto.com
Judging others
Far from examining their own behavior and attempting to be better, toxic people tend to enjoy judging others' behavior and commenting on it. They'll often also judge others for their appearance, job, financial situation, relationships, family and more. Being around someone who is so judgmental can cause both confidence and self-esteem to take a dip.istockphoto.com
Being a fair weather friend
While a toxic person is more than happy to feed off others for support and help in their own times of need, they're often very reluctant to return the favor. A toxic friend can be great to have when times are good, but don't expect them to be around to lend a hand or a shoulder when you're going through some rougher days.istockphoto.com
Always having to be right
If someone always insists on being right, that's definitely a sign of some toxic behavior. They'll even twist the truth or get into their habit of lying in order to ensure that their side of an argument is the right one, or refuse to see other points of view entirely.istockphoto.com
Constant negativity
Although it's not immediately apparent, constant negativity is actually quite toxic behavior to both the person doing it and the people around them. Not only are negative and pessimistic thoughts detrimental to one's own confidence and self-esteem, but it's extremely draining to others who have to be subjected to the constant negativity. This lack of positivity puts a damper on everything, as a very negative person will also react to other people's good news with condescension or skepticism.istockphoto.com
One-upping others
The need to feel superior is a constant for many toxic people, and they tend to see life as a competition. If you share good news, they'll feel the need to share even better news. If you tell a great story, they'll come up with an even more interesting or outlandish one. This toxic behavior is meant to make the toxic person seem as though they are the smartest and most interesting person in the room, and it can be quite draining.Shutterstock
Minimizing others' feelings
If you're ever trying to vent about something that upsets you, and the other person constantly makes you feel as if you're overreacting, that's definitely toxic behavior. It's understandable to seek validation, and your emotions are always valid. Anyone who tries to make you feel otherwise does not truly care about how you feel.istockphoto.com
Constant criticism
Habitual criticism of others helps no one, and only serves to put people down. If you're around someone who you notice is constantly criticizing other people - whether to their faces or not - there's a good chance they're doing the same to you. If they are in fact doing it to your face, this can also have a huge effect on your own self-esteem and sense of self.istockphoto.com
Not respecting boundaries
It's important to put down boundaries with toxic people in order to protect your own mental and emotional health. However, a person who is toxic will not appreciate this and will often attempt to continue to cross those boundaries. Entitlement to other people's time, space or even person is not only damaging to relationships and other people's sense of safety, but it's violating as well.istockphoto.com
If someone is deeply insecure, they'll often overcompensate by trying to bolster their own image by bragging about their talents and accomplishments. Toxic people will often do this in a way that's clearly meant to show how much better they are than others, and they'll often put down those around them in the process.istockphoto.com
It is that very insecurity that will also cause a toxic person to be very unhappy when they perceive that someone else is having some sort of success or happiness. Instead of noticing and appreciating the other person's hard work to attain their success, they'll feel indignant and resentful. A dead giveaway that a person is experiencing toxic envy is when they minimize other people's accomplishments or insult others that they perceive to be doing something well.istockphoto.com
Losing their temper
Anger is an understandable and necessary emotion, but like any emotion, it's important to channel it in a healthy manner. Expressing your anger by raising your voice or getting physical is not healthy, however, and it is a definite sign of a toxic person when they can't keep their temper in check.istockphoto.com
Manipulating others
Instead of being straightforward and trying to communicate their needs, toxic people tend to try to control others outright through covert means. A toxic person does not care about what others want or need, but would rather manipulate a situation in any way in order to attain a goal that will benefit them.Shutterstock
Being inconsistent
The most difficult toxic behavior to deal with is when the other person is simply inconsistent in their treatment of you. They will change their outlook and their opinions on people, events and other subject matter to whatever suits them, and often this results in switching between a hot and cold attitude towards friends and family. If you're constantly unsure of where you stand with someone, it's best to let them go in order to bring more peace into your life.

Everything you ever wanted to know (and then some) about circumcision:
From Penn & Teller's Showtime Bullshit! series, here's The Bullshit of Circumcision
I think this video speaks for itself. I will add that "brief nudity" is an understatement in this episode's case, and (as this shows actual circumcisions being performed on babies) this is not for the faint of heart. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show's popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from "Below Average" to "Exceptional". A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show's performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the "Average" range in the United States and in the "Good" range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the "Outstanding" performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
The following chart shows a 60-day trend of weekly demand for Supernatural compared to the weekly demand of all Fantasy Drama titles in the United States.
This is Supernatural's home market and therefore its travelability is 100%; the travelability of a TV show's market of origin is always 100%. Click through to another market to discover how well Supernatural travels internationally.

Parrot Analytics is the leading global content demand analytics company for the multi-platform business of television. With the world's largest TV audience demand dataset, the company currently tracks more than 1.5B daily expressions of demand in 100 languages, not only in the United States, but also in 100+ other markets around the world to reveal the television content that consumers watch (viewership) and give their attention to the most.
Parrot Analytics' television demand data highlights the global TV content monetization opportunities for The WB and thousands of TV studios, linear networks, broadcasters, pay TV providers and OTT / SVOD platforms.
Unlike TV ratings, our DemandRank TV rating system ensures that important demand signals are weighted more heavily than others: The more consumer effort required; the more importance is attached to each signal. Once all the signals are weighted and combined, the audience demand for Supernatural, for example, can be assessed for a market e.g. United States, which can then be benchmarked against genre averages (e.g. Fantasy Drama), using our globally standardized Demand Expressions® metric.

- Hungarian Grand Prix
Quit rumours 'rubbish' - Hulkenberg
Nico Hulkenberg has described rumours that he would leave Sauber after the Hungarian Grand Prix as "rubbish".
With Sauber's future having been uncertain until a deal with Russian investors earlier this month, it is believed Hulkenberg has not been paid recently and he declined to answer questions on his contractual status on Thursday. With unverified rumours on Twitter claiming the Hungarian GP would be his last for the team, Hulkenberg was keen to stress he would not be leaving prematurely.
Asked directly about the rumours, Hulkenberg replied: "No, it's rubbish", before confirming he would remain with the team for the rest of the season.
"I read it on my Twitter page where people can write to me, and there was a whole bunch of people having a discussion and I was like 'Where has that come from?'"
However, looking beyond the end of 2013 Hulkenberg admitted he was unsure where he would race next and that he was considering another move.
"I don't know at the moment. I'm looking at all the possible options but I haven't decided yet or done anything so I think that's still more in the longish future to make a decision there. But I'm talking to people - including Sauber - but nothing has been decided."
Hulkenberg also said he was hopeful of improvement at Sauber during the second half of the season.
"We're still working on this year's car; we have some updates here. I think the team will work further on the car beyond the summer break trying to get more performance. Some people have switched their full development already and stopped this year's car to focus on next year and I think because of that and maybe the new tyres [Sauber can be optimistic]."

I would get all the specs first then. If it's all internal in your--
LAN, it shouldn't be an issue.
If it's external you can still use SSL (and authentication if you want
more security). Yes, you would need to map an external IP to your
internal machine. Just like you would with any server.
You can set up the server on the i to run on it's own internal IP with
it's own server instance and config file and own ports and authority.
If set up right, any old hacker shouldn't be able to access anything
except that which you give authority to.
Don't think of the i as anything different than any other server
(except it's better! haha).
To answer your question easily and honestly, yes, it can be done.
Yes, you will hear worst case scenario security issues what ifs (that apply to ANY
server you have running, even PCs). If it's that big of a problem, ask
about the possibility to get a separate machine or partition to run
this stuff on (although I don't see a big reason for that.. then you
get into data replication issues which can be bigger headaches.)...
For the PDFs, sending a link to them isn't a big deal, especially if
it's over SSL. You would probably want to protect the PDFs with
passwords as well as access to them should use authentication
(homegrown or standard
Apache) as well as SSL.
I'd worry more about the PDF once it's open on the client's machine
then just passing a URL for it. :) Digital copies are too easy to make.
If you know what you're doing, it can be secure. If you wing it, you
open yourself up. I've been doing this for years and ran into many scenarios.
Worst case are just that. And they apply to everything. Do it right and
it works great. :)

Well, the whole issue I was raising (and my apologies if it was

I am running Linux Mint on my sister's computer. Everything was working fine, but then one day she turned it on and she got a strange message she didn't understand. I think it was some kind of question in terminal. Unfortunately my sister, despite her natural intelligence, didn't know what to do and decided to simple turned the computer off. Since then, everything goes wrong.
The problem
When booting I got classic Linux Mint splash screen, when pressing
ESC I get this:
The message on third row and later mean:
/dev/sda5 clean, 182625/1602496 files, 1140445/6401536 blocks /dev/sda6 clean, 20551/10928128 files, 14921843/43686912 blocks Partition for /home is not ready or present. Continue waiting or press S for skipping the mounting or M for manual mount.
Pressing neither of those buttons work. It is simply stuck and does nothing.
Attempt 1 - recovery mode
So I've realized I am having problem with
/dev/sda5 or
/dev/sda6. I booted into recovery mode. I tried to check for consistency of packages and I got:
Again the same message, only one more:
/dev/sda6: the journal is renewing
Again nothing happens. Choosing different operation in recovery mode menu leads to the same thing.
Attempt 2 - gparted
I've downloaded a live cd with gparted to check out the disks. In gparted I've checked the disks, no errors. Hm. I mounted the both
/dev/sda6 and
/dev/sda5 in terminal, which worked. I was able to see all data unharmed.
Attempt 3 - getting rid of
Because everything has been about the bloody
/dev/sda6 which is automatically mounted to
/home I've decided to remove it from
/etc/fstab and leave only the system disk
/dev/sda5. It was easy hence I was in gparted already. I rebooted and nothing happened. Not even splash screen, no message, no sound from computer at all. It was running, but doing nothing. Uff.
EDIT: I am still able to get past grub. This nothing happens AFTER choosing Linux Mint in grub.
Attempt 4 - reinstall?
Since I have the
/home on separate partition I was wondering I could simply reinstall the system. I've downloaded ISO, put it on USB, and I was astonished to get another terminal like text and freeze:
Attempt 5 - Stack Exchange
You are on, guys.
Final notes
I have the feeling all this leads to hardware problems, but a) I've successfully mounted both partitions and b) I have windows 7 on another partition (but same disk) that works. I guess formatting the disk using gparted and install Linux Mint again would work, however I would prefer saving all the data (I would have to back up everything). Any help how to debug or fix this problem will be much appreciated.

Changing The Present Helps Those Less Fortunate
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet
Before you head to your nearest 7-11 or Walgreen's for last minute holiday gifts, think about an inexpensive gift that will benefit more than your Uncle Bob. The site is appropriately named Changing the Present. For $14.00, you can support a land field mine survivor in the Middle East for a day. Send $20.00 and you can provide a family overseas with a small flock of baby chicks. It only takes $30.00 to feed a family in Bangladesh for an entire month. We love the idea that at this time of the year, we can give to others as well as ourselves.

Consumers have got their groove back; having shaken off their woes about the federal government's planned budget cuts.
The latest weekly ANZ-Roy Morgan survey shows consumer confidence levels at a seven-month high, rebounding from a slump in April and May sparked by news of spending cuts.
Confidence levels rose 2.4 per cent in the past week, adding to recent gains and giving more weight to the theory that the recent falls were related to temporary shock from the budget.
ANZ chief economist Warren Hogan said confidence levels were now back in line with business confidence.
"Consumer confidence is now back to pre-budget levels and consistent with moderate growth in consumption and economic activity," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
"The good news is that the headline impact of the budget appears to be temporary and the more enduring features of the economy, such as rising share and house prices, job creation and a stable world economy are now driving consumer attitudes to spending and finances."
Economists believe that with consumers feeling more confident, retail sales should pick up.
Meanwhile, a separate survey found that business confidence also appeared to be improving, with the number of new company start-ups rising more than a fifth in the June quarter.
The Dun and Bradstreet survey also found that nearly two thirds of respondents were more positive about the economy than a year ago.
Dun and Bradstreet chief executive Gareth Jones said low borrowing costs were helping improve business confidence.
"Confidence is critical for entrepreneurship and these numbers on business start-ups indicate there is a building mood of positivity about opportunities in the economy," he said.
Business failures – those that seek legal relief from creditors or cease operations without paying creditors in full – fell 11 per cent in the June quarter but were up nine per cent for the year.
More than half of the business failures recorded in the June quarter were in the services and the manufacturing sectors.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Normally when you run a multi-gpu mining rig you are monitoring the operating temperature of the GPU and if it is keeping an acceptable level, then you think that everything is fine and may not pay attention to other components. We have done an interesting experiment with a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 WF3OC-based mining rig taking thermal images of the back of one of the cards in the setup while it is mining Ethereum and while it is mining Decred. As you probably know the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm used by Ethereum is heavier on the memory even though the total power usage is lower while Decred and the Blake-256 implementation it relies on is more power hungry and not so dependent on the memory.
The power usage of the GTX 970 while mining Ethereum is around 150 Watts while mining Decred it goes to about 175 Watts. The GPU temperature of the GTX 970 while mining Ethereum in the test mining rig is around 68 degrees Celsius while mining Decred it goes to about 75 degrees Celsius. This of course is with custom settings for the fans, because normally Nvidia wants to keep the target temperature at 80 degrees Celsius, but that might not be that great for 24/7 mining. But if you look at the back of the GPU with the help of a thermal camera you can find pretty interesting things like the fact that the backside memory chips that do not have cooling like the ones on the front of the card actually get pretty hot. A bit too hot if you ask us especially in the case with Ethereum mining with their temperature reaching about 105 degrees Celsius while the back of the card itself remains at not more than 75-80 degrees. In the case of Decred mining, even though the total power usage is higher, the memory chips remain with over 20 degrees lower temperature and the back of the card is similar in temperature, so the difference of the overall temperature is not that big.
So if you are mining Ethereum, especially if you are getting into it just now, you might want to be sure that the GPUs you are using have better cooling on all of their memory chips, including the ones on the back of the card if there are such. While there might be no issues in short term with such higher operating temperatures of the video memory chips, on the long run temperatures of over 100 degrees Celsius might cause you hardware issues and you would want to avoid these on a mining rig that needs to fun 24/7. Do note that while this experiment was performed on Nvidia-based hardware you can expect to see similar results on AMD-based video cards as well with Ethereum driving the temperatures of the video memory higher than other mining algorithms.

Ken Summers' long road home: West Nile disease strikes former lawmaker
Former state Rep. Ken Summers returned home Tuesday after being gone since the summer because of West Nile and other illnesses that have left the former senior-league softball player unable to walk.
Throughout the ordeal, the Republican who represented Lakewood in the House discovered how many friends he had on both sides of the aisle and he said that has been heartening.
"It is so great to be home," Summers said today.
Summers and his wife, Debbie, moved to Fort Collins in July. A short time later, on July 22, he was hospitalized. He had contracted West Nile, although he has no idea where or how he got it. West Nile inflammed a previously undiagnosed and rare autoimmune disease known as Myasthenia gravis.

The Common Tongue is called that because it the most frequently used language among the western nations of Galador. It is the official language of Haladan, The Wenidarian Empire, Larn, Craynor, the Teas Aradine (though Elven is spoken equally as frequently there), The Thoran Principality and The Contare. It is also spoken by most of the population of each of The Chendorian City-States. Sages refer to the common tongue as New Craynori, but almost no one else uses the lexicon.
Common evolved from Ancient Craynori after the fall of the Craynori Empire. It was created with the introduction of various languages from the Horn Badlands, the Sheneheim raiders, and more.
In turn, Ancient Craynori evolved from a human dialect so old that noone even knows what it was called. As humans spread across Galador, this language took root words from elven, Dwarven, and many other humanoid languages; humans were the first and most populous race to expand across the continent and meet nearly all of the other humanoid races.

Story highlights
- President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was shot October 14, reportedly by his own troops
- While witnesses said it seemed an assassination try, he insisted it was an "accident"
- He returns to Nouakchott from France, where he'd been recovering from injuries
- Throngs of supporters greet him, as he rolls through city streets in a convertible
More than six weeks after being shot, reportedly by his own troops, President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz returned home Saturday evening from France, where he'd been receiving medical treatment.
After arriving at Nouakchott Airport in the West African nation's capital, Aziz met with government officials and legislative leaders, according to the state-run AMI news agency.
He later traveled through the city streets in an open-air convertible, waving as the car rolled through a throng of supporters, some of whom held up pictures and cheered his return by dancing and shouting "Aziz!"
The president discussed his health in an interview with Radio France International, as reported Saturday AMI, saying he is "generally OK and ... thankfully regaining my health."
Aziz said bullets hit his intestines and possibly his colon, while his kidneys and liver were spared.
"There were no complications or problems, but doctors (exercised) caution," he said, explaining why it took him so long to come back to Mauritania. "I ... lost a significant amount of blood due to injury, but most of the organs did not suffer."
It was on October 14, that the president's convoy came under fire as it headed back toward Nouakchott.
Witnesses told the independent Mauritania News agency they thought this shooting was an assassination attempt, because unknown men shot at the president and ran away.
But state news reported that members of a military unit stationed alongside the road shot at the president. And Aziz himself refuted the possibility he had been targeted in a coup d'etat, saying on state television the next day that the shooting was not intentional and that he'd be OK.
"I want to reassure all citizens of my well-being after the accident committed by an army unit on an unpaved road," Aziz said. "Everything is fine."
The president added he'd had a successful operation to treat what he described as minor injuries, but then left Mauritania for France for continued medical treatment.
In his recent interview with Radio France International, he said he "always worked" even during his recovery in France, adding that he'd kept close contact with Mauritania's prime minister, Cabinet ministers and leading politicians.
A former general, Aziz came to power in a bloodless 2008 military coup -- one of many such coups the country of about 3.4 million people has had since it gained independence from France in 1960. He ousted Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, who had been the nation's first democratically elected leader, according to the U.S. State Department.
Aziz was elected president in 2009. Still, the CIA describes the country's leadership as a "military junta."
Beyond its historic political instability, Mauritania faces threats posed by al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
Security was ratcheted up earlier this year amid concerns of "armed terrorist groups" in nearby northern Mali, according to Magharebia, a website sponsored by the U.S. Africa Command -- a part of the U.S. military focused on the continent.
The measures include a bolstered security presence on main streets, near embassies and by government buildings in Nouakchott, as well as stepped-up patrols, Magharebia said.

Braves off to shaky start with slew of slip-ups
Defensive duds, baserunning blunder turn cheers to jeers at Turner Field
ATLANTA -- Thousands of folks with foam tomahawks Thursday night at Turner Field went from chopping and chanting after the singing of the national anthem to hissing and booing before the playing of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Who could blame them? During most of an otherwise pleasant October evening, their Braves spent the first game of their Division Series against the Dodgers looking absolutely clueless.
No, worse than that.
In a best-of-five series, when every loss is Armageddon, you're not allowed to play as ghastly as the Braves just did throughout much of their 6-1 collapse against the Dodgers. Well, not if you're trying to break a streak of spending your last six trips vanishing in the first round. And get this: After doing much in the field, at the plate and on the bases to help the Dodgers' modern-day Sandy Koufax (Clayton Kershaw ) win the opener, the Braves must discover ways to defeat the Dodgers' modern-day Don Drysdale (Zack Greinke ) to even the series Friday at 6 p.m. ET on TBS.
"We like our odds winning any game, not just a postseason game, so it's back at them [when we play Friday]," said Braves rookie Evan Gattis, who admitted after Thursday's loss that he was "excited" and "nervous" in his first playoff game. He showed as much, and he wasn't alone, as the Braves' roster is loaded with players under the age of 25 with no experience of playing in October.
Still, this was ridiculous. You could tell the spirited crowd of 43,021 wanted to hug the Braves, but courtesy of their frowns, you could read their minds near the end: Who were those guys with tomahawks across their chest, and why did they make a bunch of unofficial errors? They weren't the guys who spent much of the season with baseball's best record. They also weren't the guys who went 12-1 after Spring Training and comprised a 14-game winning streak during one stretch with dominant pitching, a slew of home runs and acceptable defense.
The Braves' relievers were fine in the opener, but normally efficient starter Kris Medlen was rocked for nine hits and five earned runs in four innings. There were no home runs for the Braves, just strikeouts -- and lots of them (15), which they are prone to produce as they led the NL in that category.
Defense for the Braves? Don't ask. The same goes for the strangest of trips on the basepaths for Gattis.
Little things become big things for teams along the way to victory or defeat during the playoffs. So, bit by bit, the Braves began doing enough negative stuff to give them zero chance of winning this one, especially with Kershaw mostly looking like Kershaw.
Take the top of the second inning ... please -- well, if you were among the choppers and chanters. The Dodgers did exactly what you need to do in playoff games: They manufactured a run. After Yasiel Puig managed a one-out single, he hustled from first to third on a single to center by Juan Uribe, and then Puig scored on a sacrifice fly. It's just that, from a Braves perspective, center fielder Jason Heyward missed the cutoff man on the sacrifice fly, and Uribe happily moved to second.
Little things. That Heyward miscue was a bad one for the Braves. Then came another one moments later, when the Dodgers' A.J. Ellis sent a fly to left field, where Gattis showed why he was a third-string catcher playing out of position in left. He turned what would have been a catch for an average left fielder into a double for Ellis, diving and missing.
"Yeah, it was a play I didn't make," Gattis said, referring to a play that led to the Dodgers taking a 2-0 lead. With Kershaw owning a 1.83 ERA during the regular season, that lead was more like 20-0 for the Dodgers.
Speaking of Gattis, he took his battle with little things from the field to the plate in the bottom of the inning. First, he singled. Later, with one out, he kept trotting toward second base after Brian McCann sent a shot to right that everybody knew Puig would catch.
Well, everybody but Gattis.
He was nailed at first with the greatest of ease. "Just a misread," said Gattis, adding that he was tricked by Puig acting as if he wasn't going to catch the ball, even though everybody knew, well, you know.
Then there was that grounder by Carl Crawford that Braves second baseman Elliot Johnson couldn't handle to start the third. It had some tricky hops, but Major Leaguers make that play. For instance: Dan Uggla makes that play -- the same Dan Uggla who was left off the Braves' Division Series roster for his sub-Mendoza-line batting average. Two outs later, the Dodgers were ahead, 4-0, on a homer by Adrian Gonzalez.
There also was the little thing involving Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez in the bottom of the third. With one out and the Braves needing runs, and with Andrelton Simmons at second after a walk and a wild pitch, Medlen strolled to the plate after his less-than-stellar three innings on the mound. Gonzalez didn't pinch-hit for his pitcher, who struck out. Heyward followed with a groundout.
Inning over.
For the most part, so was the game.

The Titanic sank into the North Atlantic 100 years ago this Sunday, killing more than 1,500 people in what remains the most famous shipwreck in modern history. And after being recounted, researched and re-enacted for generations, a trove of information has emerged about the ship, the iceberg, the victims and the survivors.
But at least a dozen Titanic passengers have received far less attention over the past century. As a new centennial museum exhibit reveals, roughly 12 dogs were onboard the Titanic on April 15, 1912, all pets of first-class passengers.
"There is such a special bond between people and their pets. For many, they are considered to be family members," exhibit curator and Widener University historian J. Joseph Edgette said in a recent news release. "I don't think any Titanic exhibit has examined that relationship and recognized those loyal family pets that also lost their lives on the cruise."
At least nine dogs died when the Titanic went down, but the exhibit also highlights three that survived: two Pomeranians and a Pekingese. As Edgette told Yahoo News this week, they made it out alive due to their size — and probably not at the expense of any human passengers. "The dogs that survived were so small that it's doubtful anyone even realized they were being carried to the lifeboats," Edgette says.
The three canine survivors of the Titanic were:
- "Lady," a Pomeranian that had recently been purchased in Paris by Margaret Bechstein Hays, according to Encyclopedia Titanica. The 24-year-old New Yorker was returning home on the Titanic from travels in Europe with friends. As she stepped into lifeboat 7 with Lady, another passenger reportedly passed by and joked, "Oh, I suppose we ought to put a life preserve on the little doggie, too."
- Another Pomeranian, whose name isn't known, owned by New York clothing magnate Martin Rothschild and his wife, Elizabeth Jane Anne Rothschild. While Martin Rothschild didn't survive the shipwreck, his wife made it to lifeboat 6 with her dog, which she kept hidden. No one else on the lifeboat remembered seeing the dog until the next morning, and rescuers on the Carpathia initially refused to take it on board. But Rothschild insisted, and both made it back to New York.
- "Sun Yat-Sen," a Pekingese owned by Henry S. Harper, heir to New York's Harper & Row publishing firm, and his wife, Myna Harper. The Harpers were returning from a tour of Europe and Asia, joined by an interpreter they had picked up in Egypt. All three, plus Sun Yat-Sen, entered lifeboat 3 on the Titanic's starboard side. When asked later about saving the dog, Henry Harper explained that "There seemed to be lots of room, and nobody made any objection."
Only first-class passengers brought dogs on the Titanic, Edgette tells Yahoo, and most were kept in the ship's kennels. A few stayed in their owners' cabins, however, and the others were released from their kennels while the ship was sinking, according to Titanic Stories, an informational website produced by Ireland's tourism bureau.
Several dogs that died were never identified, and Edgette admits there may have been even more onboard than we know. But there is information about some of the Titanic's canine casualties, including a fox terrier named "Dog," an Airedale named "Kitty" and a French bulldog named "Gamin de Pycombe." One passenger, 50-year-old Ann Elizabeth Isham, reportedly refused to leave the Titanic without her Great Dane, which was too large to put in a lifeboat. Isham's body, along with her dog's, were later found floating at sea by recovery ships, Edgette says.
Some passengers who left their pets at least received some consolation in the form of insurance payments, however. William Ernest Carter of Philadelphia, for example, had insured his children's King Charles Spaniel and Airedale for $100 and $200, respectively, and later received settlements back on land.
There are stories of other animals on the Titanic, too, but none are confirmed. One rumor suggests passenger Edith Russell brought her pet pig, but Titanic Stories contends it was actually a toy, not a real pig. Ships often carried cats to control rat populations, and Edgette notes that at least one cat (and her kittens) rode the Titanic from Ireland to England prior to its final voyage. But that cat supposedly disembarked before the ship left for New York, carrying all her kittens to the pier — a decision later attributed to "some sort of premonition," according to Edgette.
The centennial Titanic exhibit will run through May 12 at Pennsylvania's Widener University, which is named after an affluent local family that lost two people on the Titanic. Held in the school's art gallery, the exhibit features information and artifacts from a wide array of Titanic passengers, both human and canine.

|Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Caramelized Pecans & Apple
My version of Baked Brie en Croute is stuffed with pecans and brown sugar. When it bakes, the brown sugar melts over the pecans creating just the right amount of caramel sauce - perfect with the sharp bite of creamy brie cheese. To keep it seasonal, I decided to serve it with apples, but crackers would be great, too.
For More Puff Pastry Recipes for the Holidays, click here!
with Caramelized Pecans & Apples
Fold it out onto a lightly floured board and roll it out just to flatten the seems. Place the wheel of brie in the center, then top with pecans, brown sugar, and pieces of butter. Fold up the sides* of the puff pastry, pressing them together. Crack the egg into a small bowl and whip it with a fork. Brush the egg on the outside of the pastry. (You won't use all of the egg). Place the entire thing on a silpat (or parchment) lined baking sheet.
When you unfold the puff pastry, make sure it has thawed enough not to break.
You can see I've only slightly rolled out the pastry, just to flatten the seems and to make it big enough to stretch around my brie.
I like whole pecans, but you can certainly use pieces.
Handful of brown sugar... then top with the little butter pieces. They will help to melt the brown sugar into a sauce.
Fold up the dough, pinching together the seems - it is very important to get it all sealed up... you don't want the brown sugar to run all over your oven!
Brush the egg was on the outside, covering the entire thing.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400.
Doesn't it look so, so good!? Just wait...
Even better - I love the goo-ing cheese. The brown sugar gives it just a hint of sweetness. So good!

- Domingo Alcibia was caught having what appears to be forced sex with a woman
- Prosecutors said he would be charged with abuse of power but not with rape
- Feminists are picketing prosecutor%27s office to press for rape charges
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Women's groups on Wednesday demanded a criminal sexual assault investigation for a provincial lawmaker who was caught by security video having what appears to be forced sex with a female legislative employee so drunk she may have been unconscious.
The lawmaker, Domingo Alcibia, was arrested Tuesday, a week after the scandal broke, and prosecutors said he would be charged with abuse of power but not with rape because the woman, a janitor, had not filed charges against him.
"We are demanding that the prosecutor's office investigate the incident and if it is necessary we will be the ones to file a rape complaint," Patricia Branez of the Center for Women's Information and Development told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
A small group of feminists has been picketing the prosecutor's office in Sucre, the capital of Chuquisaca province, to press the demand. The woman, who has not been identified, has left the city, authorities say.
Justice Minister Cecilia Ayllon said last week that no one can be charged with rape unless the victim files formal charges.
Alcibia, a member of President Evo Morales' governing MAS bloc, has denied that he sexually assaulted the woman. He faces up to eight years in prison if convicted on the abuse of power charge. But many Bolivians believe he got favorable treatment because of his political affiliation.
"The government has broken the principle of equality of all citizens before the law by creating first- and second-class citizens," Waldo Albarracion, a former national ombudsman and university professor, told the AP.
He accused Morales' leftist government of leveraging Bolivia's legal system against political opponents but of being lenient with its own activists.
Morales, an ethnic Aymara and Bolivia's first indigenous president, has condemned Alcibia's behavior but has also accused opponents of using the incident to try to stigmatize his party.
Both Alcibia and the woman he is alleged to have mistreated are Quechua, the other dominant ethnicity in Bolivia's highlands.
The video was taken by a security camera after a holiday party on Dec. 20, and was broadcast on local television and posted to YouTube last week.
It shows the woman being brought into the room in the provincial legislature. She cannot stand up and is placed in a chair, apparently unconscious.
Alcibia enters the room and turns off the lights, lowering the already blurry video quality. He places the woman on the floor, unfastens his belt and appears to have sex with her.
The lights come back on a few minutes later and Alcibia jumps off the woman and pulls up his pants.
