Lauren's New Orleans-Style Vegan Muffuletta Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Recipe: New Orleans-Style Vegan Muffuletta
How long does it take?
Category: 35 minutes
Name: Lauren
Why is it a favorite meal? A scoop of heavenly olive salad jazzes up a run-of-the-mill roast veggie sandwich, plus lots of other quick weeknight dishes, like pizza and pasta.
New Orleans-Style Vegan Muffuletta
2 loaves Italian bread (or 1 large round loaf if you can find it)
1 eggplant
2 bell peppers
1 can artichoke hearts
1 tomato, sliced
½ cup spinach
Olive salad for garnish (Either purchased from your local Italian market or from the recipe that follows)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional - 2 slices provolone or vegan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400°. Slice the eggplant into ½ inch thick slices and cut the bell peppers into thin strips. Arrange the eggplant slices onto a foil-lined pan, brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the pepper strips and artichoke hearts on a separate pan, and similarly brush with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Put the eggplant in the oven. After 10 minutes, put the pepper and artichoke heart pan in the oven. Roast all veggies for 20 additional minutes, flipping the veggies with tongs halfway through cooking.
While the veggies are cooling, slice the bread and put the halves in the oven to toast. If you want cheese or vegan cheese, now is the time to add it. Let the bread toast and the cheese melt.
To assemble the sandwich, layer eggplant slices, roasted peppers and artichoke hearts, sliced tomatoes, spinach leaves, and last but definitely not least, a few heaping spoonfuls of olive salad.
Olive Salad
Makes LOTS.
1 21 oz jar green olives with pimentos
1 18 oz jar Giardiniera (mixed pickled vegetables)
1 18 oz. jar pepperocinis
2 carrots
1 red onion
6 stalks celery

Kings 91, Magic 82
Although Jimmer Fredette and Isaiah Thomas are rarely on the
floor at the same time, the two reserve guards were paired in the
fourth quarter Friday night and both played key roles in the
Sacramento Kings' victory.
DeMarcus Cousins had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Thomas also
scored 17 points and Fredette added 15 to help the Kings beat the
Orlando Magic 91-82.
Fredette and Thomas have been typically vying this season for
the same minutes. But trailing by two points entering the fourth,
Kings coach put Fredette and Thomas in the backcourt with three
other reserves – rookie Thomas Robinson, Chuck Hayes, and a third
guard, Marcus Thornton.
Sacramento outscored Orlando 29-18 in the fourth. It didn't help
that the Magic shot 7 of 24 in the final quarter and were
outhustled by the Kings, who outrebounded Orlando 17-9.
"We played small ball and came to life," Smart said.
After squandering an 11-point lead in the third quarter, the
Kings regrouped in the fourth behind the strong play of their
backups. Led by Thomas and Fredette, who both scored 11 points in
the period, the reserves played for much of the final quarter and
produced a 15-2 run that propelled Sacramento to consecutive wins
for the second time this season.
A heralded college player at BYU, Fredette has played well off
the bench in his second season. Against Orlando, he enjoyed a
perfect fourth quarter, connecting on all three field-goal attempts
and making four straight free throws in the game's final 22
"It's a great dynamic (playing with Thomas). I think it's two
guys that can shoot the ball, but also make plays for other people
and can get into the lane and penetrate," Fredette said. "I was
happy to go in there with him and pull out a win."
Thomas was a starter the second half of last season when he
blossomed as a rookie. But playing time has been tough to get since
he lost the starting job to Aaron Brooks after eight games this
season. In two of the previous four games Thomas played a combined
eight minutes.
Against Orlando, Thomas entered the game in the first quarter
and wound up playing nearly 28 minutes. In the fourth quarter,
Thomas hit a pair of jumpers and 7 of 8 free throws. He also
finished with five rebounds and four assists.
"We were on the court a few tiimes last year and were
successful," Thomas said. "He was aggressive, I was aggressive,
and we fed off each other. We wanted to bring a different pace to
the game."
Jason Thompson added 12 points and Brooks had 11 for the Kings,
who are 5-0 at home when leading at halftime.
Glen Davis had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Orlando, but fouled
out in the final 36 seconds.
Arron Afflalo had 18 points and Jameer Nelson scored 17 for the
Magic, who have lost two straight and five of seven. Andrew
Nicholson added 14 points.
"They made some plays in the fourth quarter," Davis said.
"Fredette made some good moves and Isaiah was tough. He really
sealed the game the way he played. Those are two tough little
The Kings were without starting guard Tyreke Evans, who didn't
play for the third time in four games with a sore right knee. Evans
was a critical factor in the Kings' victory Wednesday over Toronto,
making two 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter and scoring 23
points. Evans is questionable for Saturday's game in Portland.
A fastbreak layup by Afflalo cut the Sacramento lead to 81-78
with just under 3 minutes left. The Kings' final 10 points were
free throws, including a pair by Cousins that stretched their
cushion to 87-78 with 28 seconds remaining.
Although his starters rallied the Kings late in the third
quarter, Smart went with the small lineup in the fourth and stuck
with it almost throughout. Fredette, Thomas and Robinson played all
12 minutes in the final quarter.
"Every game has a different personality," Smart said. "The
lineup that Orlando used allowed me to do that rotation tonight.
They didn't look to post up their guards. In tomorrow's game,
Portland will post up their twos and threes, so there may not be a
situation like that."
The Kings used a 15-2 run to take a nine-point lead, but Orlando
responded on Davis' three-point play and a 3-pointer from Nelson to
trim it to 79-76 with 3:40 left.
After losing the lead in the third quarter, the Kings regained
it in the fourth behind the play of five reserves. Fredette
connected on a corner 3 off a fast break for a 69-68 advantage at
the 8:28 mark. A jumper by Fredette a short time later capped seven
consecutive points for the Kings, who took a 73-68 lead.
Nelson had 10 points and Afflalo scored nine in the third period
when the Magic shook off a poor first half and outscored the Kings
30-16. Nelson made all four third-quarter shots, including a pair
of 3s.
"I felt pretty decent going into the fourth," Orlando coach
Jacque Vaughn said. "Even though we got the lead we still missed
some shots, a few bunnies at the rim. We had some good looks down
the stretch. It doesn't always boil down to the shots at the end of
the game. There were a lot of shots throughout the course of the
game that didn't go in."
Trailing 54-43 in the third, the Magic finally got going
offensively, scoring 16 straight points. Afflalo scored the final
five, hitting two free throws and a 3 that put Orlando in front
59-54 with 4:28 left in the quarter.
The Kings benefited in the first half from the inside play of
Thompson and Cousins. Thompson had 10 points and six rebounds,
while Cousins had nine points and eight rebounds in leading the
Kings to a 46-34 halftime lead. Brooks also scored nine points for
Davis scored 10 first-half points for the Magic, who shot 35
percent. They were outrebounded 27-18 and committed nine
NOTES: Francisco Garcia made his first start of the season in
place of Evans. Garcia had played in only seven of the Kings'
previous 17 games this season. … Orlando missed all five of its
3-point attempts in the first half. … Sacramento shot 32 percent
in the third quarter and was outrebounded 13-7. … Orlando
concludes its five-game West Coast trip Sunday in Portland, while
the Kings play five of the next six on the road, starting Saturday
in Portland.

Revive your arm9 box from scratch
- 1 About
- 2 General Procedure
- 3 Troubleshooting
- 4 Box Specific Hints
The Uboot Bootloader is the ONLY thing in flash on this boxes (the Kurobox Pro is an exception here with its 256 MB NAND flash). Most boot problems therefore are related to messed up HDDs. As long as it is working you can always revive your box via tftp from scratch. Even with (a) completely blank HDD(s). If you encounter the problem that tftp does not work anymore your only chance might be JTAG for revival.
This guide should help you in the quest of reviving your arm9 box as long as your Bootloader is still working properly.
General Procedure
1) Get TFTP Server + Kernel and initrd + Firmware
- Download the appropriate TFTP Boot program from Buffalo's FTP site (road runner cable modem!!) ftp://18.104.22.168/array1/share/nas-recovery
- The TFTP Boot program contains an TFTP server for Windows, the Kernel and initrd for the Buffalo.
- If there is no recovery pack for your box, you may build your own.
- Also download the firmware from Buffalo's website http://www.buffalotech.com/support/downloads/
Note: If you also have troubles with the previous mentioned website where you can get the TFTP Boot program from, try connecting to it using a FTP client (and thus not your browser). You will find the connection stable and reliable.
2) Configure Nics
- Connect the Buffalo directly to a computer.
- Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.11.1
3) Boot The Unit
4) Update Firmware
[specialflags] debug = 1
5) If upgrading the drive, or if step 4 fails
Warning: This will format the data partition
- Run the same firmware updater, and go to the Debug options and additionally check the following:
- Rebuild partition table
This should return your NAS to out of the box conditions.
If the box is stuck permanently pulling the initrd.buffalo and uImage.buffalo files over and over again or simply fails to appear in LSUpdate extract the HD as described below and connect it a PC running Linux - Knoppix is ideal for the purpose if you typically use windows.
- Mount the first partition (where the kernel and initrd live) as root and delete the contents replacing the capital X in the command below with the appropriate letter. This is system dependent so check the output of dmesg to discover which one it is:
mkdir ~/boot mount /dev/sdX1 /root/boot rm -rf /root/boot/*
- Download the Buffalo firmware for the device. We need to copy uImage.buffalo and initrd.img to /root/boot.
- The final step is to unzip initrd.img from inside /root/boot (it is a zip file, it is just in disguise!).
cd /root/boot unzip initrd.img
- The password is one of these:
1NIf_2yUOlRDpYZUVNqboRpMBoZwT4PzoUvOPUp6l aAhvlM1Yp7_2VSm6BhgkmTOrCN1JyE0C5Q6cB3oBB YvSInIQopeipx66t_DCdfEvfP47qeVPhNhAuSYmA4 IeY8omJwGlGkIbJm2FH_MV4fLsXE8ieu0gNYwE6Ty
- For example, the LS Pro's password is YvSInIQopeipx66t_DCdfEvfP47qeVPhNhAuSYmA4
- Recommended: Format the second partition of the NAS as ext3. This can be done using GParted (Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD has it within the Admin menu already).
- Reinsert the HDD and reboot the box - it should now boot to EM mode correctly (or sometimes to the original state depending what you did to get here) and appear in the updater ready for the firmware of your choice.
Note that you can use this method to install Freelink or other firmwares manually however they will not appear to the buffalo updater so be sure to get them right. It might be better to install the buffalo firmware and use the updater according to the correct instructions than follow this route.
Box Specific Hints
LS Pro, Old LS Live
If you have a arm9-Linkstation and you tried Step 4 and if Step 5 is no choice because you have valuable data on the box then you need to recover the data before.
HD removal
1. Disassemble your box:
LS Pro & LS Live v1
2. Connect the hdd to a workstation running Linux. Knoppix for example is recommended as you can boot it directly from CD/DVD.
3. If the HDD isn`t defective then the partitions should even be mounted automatically.
4. Backup your data (most easiest if you connect a second hdd for backup)
5. Now try Step 5 from the general instructions.
6. In case even Step 5 did not work then you can rebuild the partitions from scratch. Look at Custom_Partitions_on_the_LS_Pro for instructions.
LS Live v2
SEVERAL BOXES were bricked by flashing the stock firmwares. use the 2.06 for unbricking! Followup to the above warning - schurl85 used 2.10 with success, as 2.06 was unavailable for him. Read more here: Bricked LSLiveV2
If you have a arm9-Linkstation and you tried Step 4 and if Step 5 is no choice because you have valuable data on the box then you need to recover the data before.

Terastation Pro v2, Terastation Live
If you have a arm9-terastation and you tried Step 4 and if Step 5 is no choice because you have valueable data on the box then you need to recover the data before.
Look at Manual Recovery on a seperate computer.
After you recovered the data try Step 5.
In case even the "Rebuild Partition Table" Option does not help follow this steps to rebuild the partitions on all HDDs:
1. To rebuild your disk you will need to connect your disk to a PC running Ubuntu, Knoppix or similar. These two programs offer a downloadable bootable CD which you can use on most computers. Simply install/connect the TSP disk to your computer and boot up your computer with the bootable Ubuntu or Knoppix CD. The information below is based on commands used on a computer running Ubuntu. Please remember that you will require all the files you extracted from the firmware file in the directory of your choice once you have booted with Ubuntu. A USB memory stick is quite useful for this purpose.
2. Once booted with Ubuntu, create a directory on your desktop called tsp (right click the desktop and choose new folder). Copy all the firmware files, including the unzipped password protected files to the tsp directory on your desktop.
3. Open a terminal window from the applications menu at the top left hand side of the screen and type:
sudo –s -H fdisk –l
(you should see the name of your disk, probably something like /dev/hda or /dev/hdb or /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. If you have more than one disk you might be able to differentiate them by size) this might help to find out the device name
cat /proc/partitions
4. Once you know the name of your disk type:
cfdisk /dev/???
(replace ??? with the three letter code of your disk. We will use sda as the three letter code for the following example)
5. If there are any existing partitions delete all of them using the up and down arrow and the delete menu at the bottom of the screen
6. Create the following partitions using the arrow keys and the menus on the bottom of the screen:
sda1 Bootable Primary Linux 205MB sda2 Primary Linux 500MB sda5 Extented Linux/Swap 510MB (might be optional) sda6 Extended Linux XXXXMB (remainder of the disk – might be optional)
(If you are planning on "customising" your unit, you should consider increasing the sda2 partition size)
7. Write the changes before you exit cfdisk
8. You should now format your partitions:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 mkfs.xfs /dev/sda2 mkfs.xfs /dev/sda6 mkswap –c /dev/sda5
(the –c is optional)
9. Mount the /boot and /rootfs file systems:
mount –t ext3 /dev/sda1 /boot mount –t xfs /dev/sda2 /rootfs
10. Copy the files initrd.buffalo and uImage.buffalo to /boot:
cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/tsp/ cp initrd.buffalo /boot cp uImage.buffalo /boot
11. Extract the content of hddrootfs.buffalo.updated to /rootfs:
cd /rootfs tar zxvf /home/ubuntu/Desktop/tsp/hddrootfs.buffalo.updated
12. Unmount the 2 file systems:
umount /dev/sda1 umount /dev/sda2
13. Disconnect the disk from your computer and reinstall the disk in the TSP
14. Turn on (reboot) your TSP
15. Your TSP should boot normally and you should see Loading Kernel on the LCD display, try running the TSUpdater again. 15a. In case of LiveStation box, it will get into the EM mode. Use acp_commander.jar to get telnet access to the system. Execute /usr/local/bin/chghddroot and than reboot. This should enable the system to come out of the EM mode. 16. If you are still having problems, rebuild all remaining TSP disk in the same manner. Then run TSUpdater again.

Top 5: Green Cookware Choices
Looking to update some items in your kitchen and hoping to make a greener choice? Here are some options you might want to check out...
Lodge Cast Iron Pans: these are a favorite choice of ours. And now that they come pre-seasoned, much of the hard work of prepping them for use has been eliminated. Plus, did you know that when cooking foods in cast iron, some of that iron is transferred into the food? So, not only is this an environmentally safe choice, but it's good for your body as well. We find an 8" skillet or grill pan to be a workhorse in our own kitchen.
The Eco-Smart Poly-Flax Cutting Board from Architec Housewares: perhaps best known for The Gripper, a cutting board consisting of a hard cutting surface thermally bonded to a soft bed of gripping octagons, Architec Housewares has come up with a new cutting board made from recycled plastics blended with flax husks and made in the USA. Stain resistant, usable on both sides and dishwasher-safe, the 12x16 inch board is available in natural, red or green.
GreenPan Anodized Cookware: a full line of pots and pans from Crate and Barrel, promises that fifty percent fewer greenhouse gases are emitted during its manufacture. Thermaolon, a patented environmentally safe non-stick ceramic-based and scratch-resistant, PFOA- and PTFE-free interior, combines with an aluminum core and an anodized exterior ad stay-cool stainless steel handles for rapid heat distribution.
Sorapot Tea Pot: Although Sorapot was not designed specifically with sustainabiliity in mind, designer Joey Roth's own beliefs — that all the parts should be recyclable, pigment and paint free and that the packaging on which instructions for use should be printed on unbleached, recycled cardboard — coincide with a green philosophy.
Vortex Blender: although designed for picnics, camping and tailgate parties, it can find a place in your home. Just think: you'll not only save on electricity but get a good workout for your arms! Read more about it here.

First, he should be intelligent. I like people who read a lot and enjoy discussing art, literature and history. My husband should be well educated and interested in learning new things. In addition, he should have a good sense of humor. I want a husband who can laugh at his own mistakes and doesn't take life too seriously. I don't want to be married to someone who is serious all the time. I like making jokes and want a husband who will laugh with me. Finally, he should be independent. I want my husband to have his own career and friends. He must be comfortable doing things both independently and together as a couple. I want someone who shares my values. For example, I believe that family is the most valuable thing in life. Back to top emeJoined: 05 Oct 2004Posts: 32 Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2004 4:47 am Post subject: hi flower....

Information by Country
Global Section: Press releases
Media Advisory: International summit to call for faster, long-term aid to educate the world's children before 2015
Despite education being a human right and the overwhelming evidence that investing in education can spur economic growth, slow the spread of HIV/AIDS, and reduce poverty, there are still 77 million children out of school - including 44 million girls. At the current rate of progress at least 75 countries, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa, will not achieve the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015.
Urgent action is needed now. If all children are going to complete their primary education by 2015, they must be enrolled in school by 2009 at the latest. This means that plans to increase access and improve the quality of education provision must be finalized this year and the necessary resources mobilized quickly.
The High-Level Education event of May 2nd aims to generate renewed high-level political commitment to finance basic education in an urgent and longer-term predictable way. The event will be hosted by the European Commission and co-organized by the UK government and the World Bank. It follows on an earlier agreement in Singapore in September 2006 by UK Chancellor Gordon Brown, European Commissioner Louis Michel and President Paul Wolfowitz of the World Bank.
Conference participants will include Ministers of Finance and Development Cooperation of the EU Member States, the OECD donor countries, emerging donors and developing countries, leaders of international organizations, foundations, civil society organizations and the private sector as well as Members of the European Parliament, individual advocates and experts. More information on the program can be found on the website: www.promises-on-education.org
There will be photo and TV opportunities for accredited audiovisual media during the opening session on 2 May. To acquire accreditation, please register on the conference website before Friday, 27 April 2007: www.promises-on-education.org. All media are invited to a concluding press conference following the morning session. Details are to be announced in due course.

Backwards only can do. For privacy. Concise, out of. System without wave making.
Lovely she was. Many years ago, different culture.
He:broken. Long time, ago.
What he wanted was family , love, given up on most everything else.
Start from back to front. Make sense even if leaving most or some out. Memory problem.
Promised to love and obey, till death to us part.
start with now.
The other husband moved in.
Yesterday, his young daughter showed up, he just getting out of hernia surgery, had a row with surgeon, cause obsession of not waking up. They settled with just enough propofol, and a lot of Fentamil.
Lots of pain laying on couch.
Youngest daughter comes over.
With grandson 2 years, Aiden. Quite as can be.
He plays , wants nutcracker belonged to his youngest son now past. He wants it.
2nd husband comes out starts playing, up to the kid, while he is telling her ,can't come over this week cause doc told him can't lift kid on account of the hernia operation, for at least a month.
2nd husband is cutsie pying with kid, and cooing saying I love you little kid, in spite of, having own two or three wives back in the old country. One set of twins didn't make it, but he says he loved them anyway, cause they were his. His number one wife, was also left behind, one of whose five sons are here, looking for a job.
He is a good kid of nearly fifty years old, the youngest. Now the number two husband's brother who went to Alaska and has not been seen since, got a job fishing up there, but that was 40 years ago, when his wife was married to him.
So he comes out playing with the baby, and the baby was big, that's why he can't pick him up, that is the first husband, and he lays in bed groaning worrying about his bowl movement since narcotic caused a blockage, and he is worried about a re-rupture.
Bottom line he is thinking about also, going back to the old country, but last visit just reminded him of the green grass being greener there, an old fallacy.
So 2nd husband is shooting the breeze about how he was a black belt back 50 years ago, blah blah blah, and he sings, and first husband says sing something, and he says I have it recorded, and plays it a kind of nostalgic trip into the various love channels he seemed to sustain all these years.
the kid wants to get away from his grip. And the first husband, will call him chump, says nothing but thinks only of the balance, he is way way heavier, therefore he has a tremendous karmic advantage against the first husband whom we shall call bump.
Literally bumped around, and bumped around, and now living with them, with his youngest son.
Then comes a kind of morphic slashing with the knives of cruelty; how could you warm up to this ibniscebt child, while admitting that you never saw the twins, who died, and you say you loved them.
He emvraces chump's daughter, and wraps his black belted arms around her.
CLINCHER there is as always, how can he do it? To taunt, chump says, hey bump, while I am layer up, maybe you can go over and take care of the kid?
Who has since managed to escape the arms that held him.
Meanwhile Bump's son comes out and offers to cook something, and Chump accepts, even though familiar of poisoning in bump's cultural heritage.
They end up pals, chump realistic about had weight favoring bump by sheer numbers, but believing of the weight of the soul, proven by song by the last concert given by the WHO inSan Francisco, back in 1969 think it was in the Fremont, where the event's signature was 'The Weight',how prophetic Chump thought.
So here they are measuring weights,and the only central heavy weight is SHE with whom both are in love. Well not exactly. Bump has a lot to ride on this one being homeless and all, with her very good central position as the vertex of all her perceived responsibility, which she has set up as the leader of the cult.
For thi and her feminine vulnerability,
, her other side consisting of a weak soul needing a buttress of very weighty and insolvent massive responsibility, which is shared, he loves her like crazy, and many times accusingly she points a wagging forefinger at him:brother are you crazy to love me.
And she is as crazy as he is, for having as many husbands, but he is no angel, for his make lover, is his only counterweight against this simingly accurately calibrated delicate balance.
SO HE DECIDES NOW to let things take their course, because, things are veering out of control.

I felt compelled to respond to the opinion expressed in a guest column by Ron and Julie Sunday ("Rockford must make changes to tackle blight," Sept. 22), that the Rockford Historic Preservation Commission (not the Rockford Area Historical Society, as the Sundays repeatedly called the commission ... my apologies to The Society) should relax its restrictions on demolitions of structures protected by the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
They formed their opinion after being denied such a permit because the commission "can't allow any demolitions" in historic districts.
I had to respond because their justification further advances a widespread misconception that, once a structure is protected by an HPO or is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it can never be torn down. This is a total fallacy. The Sundays certainly know this because the lot upon which they chose to build their house in the Browns Hills/Knightsville Historic District was vacant. The original house had burned and was allowed to be torn down when it was determined to be beyond repair.
I was a member of the commission when the certificate of appropriateness was granted to the Sundays to rebuild on this site. After some required design changes to its exterior, this contemporary log-style home looks like it was built decades earlier. I have always felt that it is a showplace of how a new house can blend beautifully into an old neighborhood.
In actuality, the most important function of Historic Preservation Ordinances and listing a structure on the National Register is to slow the demolition process; to make certain that protected buildings are never thoughtlessly destroyed, because vacant weeded lots are never assets to inner-city neighborhoods. Removing this protection, as the Sundays suggest, would destroy the value of such ordinances and the register.
My residence is also in Browns Hills/Knightsville and a previous owner also wanted to tear it down. They so neglected it that it became a terrible eyesore and many people agreed that it should come down. Thankfully, the ordinance protected it until I bought it and restored it. It has won local and statewide preservation awards and has even appeared in Old House Journal, a nationwide publication that is the bible for preservationists.
What is most important is that it now contributes generously to Winnebago County's property tax coffers; it would be a tax-exempt, seldom used parking lot if not for the HPO.
I am sorry that the Sundays are at odds with the preservation commission. Since building their house in Browns Hills, they have been wonderful neighbors; their properties on Prospect Street are beautiful and a credit to the historic district.
But I disagree with their assessment of the condition and cost to repair the house they wish to tear down (federal and possibly state tax credits are available to property owners rehabilitating rundown properties in historic districts). I must agree with the commission members who voted to deny their demolition permit because rehabbing is clearly a better option.
I am confident that the Sundays will come to a workable solution with the commission without severely damaging the integrity of the Historic Preservation Ordinance.

text: Hi Mark, Thank you for the response and I appreciate your promptness. But Isn't it funny . The guys who sell solutions to the customer are actually non-technical guys. In my case, the marketing people who sold the cluster of nodes did not suggest an external RAID box for the Cluster. They were going ga ga .... over the amount of harddisk real estate each node will have. They just say that it is enough . In my case it will be a 96 node cluster, with each node having a mirrored 72Gig drive. As per them it comes upto 6TB of space for the user. Do you think it is possible. If yes, how? As per me, Like I said, I am new to cluster computing and they are old players in this field. So, maybe they are right!!. BTW.. I will also be using SuSE.

@zero: so...
1. Reactor produces 1MW, assumedly 10% is electric energy and 90% is thermal(?)
2. MHD accepts heated cooling fluid and extracts electronic energies via hall-effect therefore reducing overall energy and probably temperature(relatively) assuming another 30% drop from the remaining 90% thermal energy retained.
3. remaining 60% energy now is treated as waste heat and has to be rejected or has the alternative to be run through a conventional thermal boiler turbine engine?
counting 1MW, if I run through my own version of the numbers.
100kW from the reactor.
300kW from the MHD
(.3)600kW = 180 kW from the conventional boiler turbine engine
that about right?

Ah, no, no nuclear reactor can harvest the energy directly somehow unless you have ultimate solar panel as reactor shelling.... like the material used for I.S. core for example. It does not have heat signature after all.
(of course, they're GOD DAMN expensive, in Len's word, definitely not worth the effort)
1. MHD = 200 kW
2. Sub Modules = 500-700 kW depending on efficiency
3. Net waste heat = 100-300 kW
That's still better than wasting 600 kW in coal plant or 400 kW in normal gas Turbine. MHD these days is projected to supplement these system, until Fusion become prominent that is.
In the end, those reactor is used by Fortress-class I.S. packets, not as main powerplant, but a propulsion.

Submodules can be individual or parallel system depending on choice... or giant heatsink if the designer really stupid
In these fortress, usually each reactor is linked to single engine worth 20 kN thrust. Same reactor and engine is used in the equivalent of Vanguard Overboost for normal I.S. (though they are expected to be reusable instead of ditched mid-mission)

Yes, since the heat goes to propulsion system. As said before, if you want an actual powerplant, simply use the larger one is more cost-efficient.
200 kW is not something to be sneezed though, unless we're talking about energy shield or weapon

The latter, though if it's inside earth sphere, simply heating the compressed air is enough (the engine will run at 50% efficiency). It could even breathe water, though there's always that pesky 60 mph limit
EDIT: scratch that, make it 75 mph
The engine can run fully on it's own propellant as rocket if you wish to use it in the vacuum of space or supercavitation underwater run.

Woah, good draft there. He's not losing his current personality, but softened up when the plot call for it. Considering it's dark future though, and the fact that you use multiverse argument, I won't hope much for [good end].
Also, the villains seems to be in his way to event horizon from the implication.

Yup, though he doesn't know what happens to them. Again, one of the biggest reasons Saito becomes a Knight in Sour Armor is because of human's willingness to do things like that. There is a marked difference between his personality at the start of the story to his personality midway through.
Anyway, I need advice: How does one do a romance scene when both of them are too shy to do anything?

Simple, they didn't. Their mind will be full of conflict of "do want/sort of want/do not want" and how their partner react for it (in their mind, thank you very much). It'll be like that unless someone took initiative or third parties crashing in.

Have you ever made a story with a complete downer ending?
Because I've seen some examples where people seem not to care that they have their first time sexual experience taken, but start complaining about their first kiss being stolen.

Intel is no longer a monopolist
Peter Donnell / 7 years ago
Chipzilla has finally ended a long cycle of defending itself against antitrust claims, with the last case against it finally dismissed.
The New York Attorney General dismissed the last antitrust suit against Intel which was filed in November 2009. This complaint said that Chipzilla had bribed or coercing computer makers to secure exclusive agreements for its computer chips.
The dismissal did not come without a price tag for Intel. According to Law.com, Intel will have to write New York a cheque for $6.5 million to help cover some of New York's litigation costs. However it did not have to admit liability or alter its business practices.
A trial on the case had been scheduled to start today, but a ruling by Delaware federal district court judge Leonard Stark last December meant that it was better for both sides to settle. Stark decided that the state could not bring claims under the Donnelly Act, a state statute that allows for treble damages for injuries suffered by the state. This was because the allegations all involved injuries to private individuals and companies, rather than to state agencies or officials.
Other anti-trust claims were spiked under the statute of limitations.
It has been an expensive legal process for Intel. In 2008, South Korea's antitrust regulator hit Intel with a $25.4 million fine for anticompetitive behaviour against AMD. Next year the European Commission hit Intel with a record $1.45 billion fine for unfair competitive practices against AMD. In November 2009, Intel settled a lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission, promising to change its business practices while not admitting liability.

Over the weekend, YouTube launched a new "YouTube Reporters' Center" with video instructing citizen journalists on how to report the news. And these videos feature star journalists like Katie Couric from CBS News, Bob "Watergate" Woodward from the Washington Post and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.
Here's a description from YouTube's company blog:
"Ever captured(sic) a natural disaster or a crime on your cell-phone camera? Filmed a political rally or protest, and then interviewed the participants afterward? Produced a story about a local issue in your community? If you've done any of these things or aspire to, then you're part of the enormous community of citizen reporters on YouTube – and today, we're launching a new resource to help you learn more about how to report the news."
Couric's video has useful tips for conducting a good interview, while Woodward talks about how investigative reporters get their information.
Then there's Kristof, who explains how to avoid getting shot or robbed in a dangerous foreign country and still bring home a compelling story about famine, sex trafficking or other global humanitarian crisis in a way that will make Americans care:
Kristof's video shows the best journalism still requires commitment, hard work and guts.

Telus Health Continues EMR M&A Strategy – Acquires Nightingale Informatix
Colin Hung is the co-founder of the #hcldr (healthcare leadership) tweetchat one of the most popular and active healthcare social media communities on Twitter. Colin speaks, tweets and blogs regularly about healthcare, technology, marketing and leadership. He is currently an independent marketing consultant working with leading healthIT companies. Colin is a member of #TheWalkingGallery. His Twitter handle is: @Colin_Hung.
Telus Health, a Canadian based healthcare technology and services firm that is a division of one of Canada's largest telco operators (Telus Communications), recently announced the acquisition of Nightingale Informatix for $14 Million CDN (approximately $10.4M USD).
You can read the announcement here.
This is the latest in a string of acquisitions that Telus has made over the past 5 years in the Canadian ambulatory EMR space. Med Access, Wolf Medical Systems, Kinlogix, MD Physician Services, Medesync and now Nightingale are all part of Telus Health's product portfolio. With these acquisitions Telus is now by far the most dominant player in the Canadian ambulatory market. There are only a handful of vendors remaining – the largest of which is Vancouver's QHR Technologies.
EMR consolidation in Canada was inevitable. The small market size could not sustain the more than 50 EMR vendors that cropped up in the heyday of adoption. As well, unlike in the US, the government in Canada did not pour billions of dollars to encourage physicians to adopt EMR technologies. The incentive programs in Canada were handled by the provinces and were much smaller in scale. Thus the Canadian market was ripe for consolidation and Telus has been aggressively seizing these opportunities.
It is a little surprising that none of the US EMR vendors have looked north of the border for growth opportunities. With a single payer system and unique patient identifiers, you would think the Canadian market would be enticing. However, no US ambulatory EMR has made significant in-roads.
Missed opportunity? or perhaps a wise decision to focus at home?

[CORRECTION – July 19, 2016 2:11pm ET – The original post erroneously reported that Telus had acquired Healthscreen, EMIS and Clinicare EMRs. These three EMRs were in fact acquired by QHR Technologies and not Telus. This post was updated with a corrected list of Telus acquisitions]

This Article has info about Installing Windows 10 on a Precision Workstation Tx600 System Equipped with a single hard drive attached to a PERC H310 RAID Controller.
When Windows 10 is installed on a single hard drive in a Precision Workstation Tx600 system equipped with a PERC H310 RAID Controller, Windows 10 will not see the hard drive.
You can resolve the by configuring the drive to a single drive RAID 0 array.
This is accomplished by first converting it the physical drive to a RAID disk and then configuring the virtual disk to a RAID 0 array of 1 drive.
Enter the RAID setup by pressing the CTRL + R Hotkey combination at boot.
You can do this by following the steps indicated below: (See Figures 1 & 2.)

Occasionally using Sabadell where I have an account to draw money from my UK bank account I am given the option of having my UK account debited in € or £. Does one present an advantage over the other for those living in Spain? Do I choose sterling or Euros? Cheers, Bill.

Aim of the investigators' study is to evaluate one of the symptoms described by patients affected with the so-called "not-celiac wheat sensitivity" (NCWS). NCWS patients may be defined as ones, neither celiac or allergic to wheat, who develop symptoms following wheat consumption and improve on Gluten Free Diet (GFD). Among these, patients often report the appearance of bloating and abdominal pain, and, sometimes, swelling of fingers and face, shortly after ingestion of wheat. They also refer that swelling tends to last for some hours and then to disappear on GFD. To our knowledge, this disorder has never been investigated neither proved.
For the investigators' research, the investigators selected adult patients, both genders, affected with NCWS. Diagnostic criteria include: 1) symptoms disappearance on GFD, 2) testing negative for celiac disease [anti-tTG and EMA, and with biopsy Marsh 0-1] and wheat allergy [serum specific IgE for wheat], 3) positive response to a double-blind placebo-controlled challenge (DBPC) with wheat or placebo.
Patients will be recruited among subjects referring, as outpatients, to the Department of Internal Medicine, 'Giovanni Paolo II' Hospital of Sciacca (Agrigento), and of Internal Medicine of the University of Palermo, from January 2012 to October 2013. The investigators will include patients referring for functional dyspepsia and/or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms. All recruited patients must report body's swelling immediately after wheat ingestion. In all recruited patients, NCWS diagnosis was posed during the previous years, according to the above mentioned criteria.
Patients, all on GFD for at least 30 days, will undergo to another DBPC with wheat or placebo (xylose), performed by administering capsules coded as A or B containing wheat or xylose, respectively. Capsules A or B will be administered once, and then, after 1 week of washout, patients received the other capsules, given once too. Before and 2 hours after every challenge, patients will undergo a complete medical examination (measurement of body weight, height, body mass index [BMI], waist circumference, diameter of thighs, legs, arms, and fingers), and we will perform bioelectrical impedance analysis and collect blood sampling, for identification of possible markers (bioelectrical, immunologic, hormonal, etc) that may help to demonstrate and explain mechanisms of examined symptom.

Gluten is the most important protein component of some grains, notably wheat, rye, and barley, which are the basis for a variety of wheat-derived alimentary products consumed throughout the world (bread, pasta, pizza etc). However the "engineering" of gluten-containing grains created the conditions for human diseases related to gluten exposure. These forms of gluten intolerance represent a heterogeneous set of conditions, including celiac disease, wheat allergy and gluten sensitivity, that, combined, seems to affect about 10% of the general population. The frequency of not-celiac gluten sensitivity is however still unknown, even though it is possible that this condition have been undiagnosed and under-diagnosed by the physicians for a long time. The immune responsiveness to wheat antigens represents a complex process, and its establishment and maintenance are not completely elucidated. The most frequent diseases caused by wheat ingestion are T cell-mediated disorders, i.e. celiac disease and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions. However, besides celiac disease and wheat allergy, there are cases of gluten reactions in which neither autoimmune nor IgE-mediated allergic mechanisms are involved. These are generally defined as gluten sensitivity. Some subjects, who experience symptoms when eating gluten-containing products and show improvement when following a gluten-free diet, may have gluten sensitivity instead of celiac disease or wheat allergy. Gluten sensitivity patients are unable to tolerate gluten and develop an adverse reaction when eating gluten, that, usually, and differently from celiac disease, does not lead to small intestinal damage. Gastrointestinal symptoms in gluten sensitivity patients may resemble those associated with celiac disease, but the overall clinical picture is generally less severe and is not accompanied by the occurrence of autoantibodies (i.e. anti-tissue transglutaminase, tTG, or anti-endomysium, EMA) or autoimmune disease (i.e. Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Typically, the diagnosis is made by exclusion, and an elimination diet and an "open challenge" (i.e., the monitored reintroduction of gluten-containing foods) are most often used to evaluate whether health improves or worsen with the elimination or reintroduction of gluten in the diet, respectively.
As it is not known what cereals components determine the symptoms in the so called gluten sensitivity patients, we prefer to define this condition as "wheat sensitivity" instead of "gluten sensitivity".
Wheat sensitivity can cause both gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms; among the latter, the patients often reported body's swelling (hands', fingers', arms' , face's swelling).
This study has two major aims:
- Evaluation of the effective dependence from the wheat ingestion of the clinical alterations presented by patients with diagnosed gluten sensitivity, with particular attention to abdominal bloating and body's swelling. The study will be done after a period of gluten-free diet (at least 30 days), using a double-blind placebo-controlled challenge with wheat or placebo (xylose), performed by administering capsules coded as A or B containing wheat or xylose, respectively. Capsules A or B will be administered once, and then, after 1 week of washout, the patients received the other capsules, given once too.
- Before and 2 hours after every challenge, patients will undergo a complete medical examination, and The investigators will perform bioelectrical impedance analysis and collect blood sampling, for identification of possible markers that may be of help to demonstrate and explain the mechanisms of the examined symptom.
