Today I am happy because I feel like I am closer to being who I want to be than I was before I got fired. I feel like this last week has given me some time off that I really needed. I only worked very part time, so it may not have seemed as if this was time I should have been gifted, I really didn't know how much working there was affecting other parts of my life. I love to write and to really indulge in marathon sessions has been restorative. I had several dreams last night, but since I didn't capture them right away, I only remember that my former PT was in one of them. I was near him when this woman in athletic gear who had blonde hair was talking to me. Two of her daughter were with her, we had a brief chat and then either she left, or I did. I kind of think the dream before that may have had my dad in it, he's been on my mind lately for some reason, not really sure why. Maybe it's because my former PT reminds me of him. I haven't thought about either of them in a while. Kind of strange that they're both on my mind on the same day.
My aunt called this afternoon, I knew the job search question was coming, and it still annoyed me. I recognize that she's concerned, but I am an adult and I'm also kind of mad at myself for feeling like I have to justify my actions to anyone. I got to a better place in my book. Chapter 8 started out very slowly, that almost never happens to me (as you can see) I can write volumes about absolutely nothing happening to me or going on in my life, I take that for granted so when it all of a sudden stops working, I get a bit nervous. I need to find better ways to cope with this anxiety. It's probably the number one problem in my life now that I have a better handle on sleep. I'm trying to imagine how much better my life could be if I was free from this feeling. I think I've gotten better at recognizing it for what it is, right now it's bad. I have to just let it flood me, and try to hang on because I know that the feeling is temporary. Tonight I am very tired because I stayed up until 2:00 AM writing. This was a poor decision that I regret. Tomorrow I want to go to the library and work on my resume. I want to get back to work, but I'm also cherishing this time off. I wish it could last forever, it's nice to feel like I love life and myself more again.
P.S. They finally plowed our parking lot area after a neighbor of mine got stuck. But I still feel very fortunate to be able to live here. Knitting is on Tuesday this week. Going to make myself go even if the lady I don't care for is there. I need those types of outings in my life.

June is an eventful month around the Bond household with the birthdays of my Mom, Dad, Brother, Aunt and Brothers girlfriend, as well as Fathers Day and my parent's wedding anniversary (34 years today!)
After completing a successful gluten-free birthday cake for my brother, it made sense to make the cake again for his girlfriends birthday. But being the girl who has to make everything a little bit different I decided to turn his delicious Chocolate Gluten-Free Cake into a work of OKC Thunder basketball art. Enter, the Russell Westbrook Birthday Cake.
Russell has been talked about a lot in the playoffs for his interesting press conference attire. It started with the lense-less red glasses, which led to an article on the front page of The Wall Street Journal "Fashion Plates of the NBA Make Specs of Themselves: At Finals, Hoops Stars Also Compete Over Stylish Eyeglasses; No Lenses Needed". Then came the Lacoste fishing shirt which sent sales for the popular clothing brand through the roof when everyone in Oklahoma decided to emulate the look. And I mean everyone!
I met this amazing older couple during the Western Conference Playoffs and they told me they were "trending on Twitter", the look had definitely caught on!
My first idea was to just add the red glasses onto the cake, then I decided I had to add the shirt as well!
Russell Westbrook Cake Ingredients
After the cake is baked and cooled use a piping bag with the cream cheese frosting to make the shirt design.
Next, add the chocolate frosting to a separate bag and pipe onto the remaining parts of the cake not covered by the cream cheese frosting.
Next, add about 6-8 gummy worms to the shirt.
Now, to make the glasses place a toothpick between each end of a Twizzler, slide through until the two ends meet and the toothpick no longer shows. Repeat this step to form the two lenses. Next place another Twizzler on top and attach with the trimmed off ends of 2 toothpicks. Place the glasses gently on top of the cake and voila! The Russell Westbrook cake is complete!
Everyone, including the birthday girl, loved the cake! Just another fun way to celebrate OKC making it to the NBA Finals! Game 3 tonight, Thunder Up!!!
Pulling in double duty today on the LLB with a new recipe and another cross off the summer bucket list!
Almost a year ago my brother was diagnosed with Celiac disease. Although I've learned how to incorporate a gluten-free diet into most recipes I cook, I was yet to bake gluten-free. I decided it was time to go big or go home and attempt my first gluten-free baking experience with my brothers 30th birthday cake!
Growing up my brother was always a chocolate addict so when I asked him what kind of cake he wanted, of course his answer was chocolate. That's when the Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting was created!
Start by combining the flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder in a small mixing bowl.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 sugars, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla. Next, add the almond milk.
Then add the flour mixture and combine well.
Spray an 11 x 7 baking dish with olive oil cooking spray (be sure not to use a "Baking Spray" as it has flour in it, almost had a catastrophe with that one!)
Next, pour the cake batter into the dish.
Now it's ready to go in the oven at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Not going to lie, this was the longest 30 minutes of my life! Since I had already tasted the batter, I knew the flavor wasn't the problem. The problem was, will it rise?
And it did! You should have heard the screams when I opened the oven door to view this beautiful baby basking in the oven lights!
Now it was time to let it cool down before I frosted it up!
To make the Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
Start by melting the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the cocoa and vanilla.
Next, alternate mixing in milk with powdered sugar until you get to your desired consistency. The measurements I listed worked for me, but if you want a thinner or thicker frosting you can add or take away milk or powdered sugar.
Now it's time to frost that delicious, fluffy, gluten-free cake!
I felt like a proud Momma looking at that cake!
Brother made his birthday wishes (pretty sure he wished for his little sister to get a show on the Food Network because he was so excited about the cake 😉 )
Then it was time to slice it up and dig in!
Thick and rich just like a normal chocolate cake with NO GLUTEN!! I feel like I found the 8th wonder of the world by making this cake 😉 (and the way I've been bragging about it, you would think so too! haha)
Go to your kitchen immediately and make this cake for your favorite gluten-intolerant!
♣ Vegetarian Option: This recipe is vegetarian.
♦ Gluten Free Option: Pretty sure by this point you've gotten the fact that this recipe is gluten-free!

Change yourself and don't bribe anyone. For getting A certificate or driver's license, or a document or anything else, for getting anything don't give even single rupee in the form of bribe to someone. If you starting changing yourself, then all your family members follow this, then at least 3 people in ind are standing with Non-Corruption.
So change yourself first, then change your family and then look around the country,.. Don't dream that some miracle happens. Nothing will happen for next 3000 years to Ind (of course end of the world at that time). We have to change it.
Even the storm starts with a single drop. So why don't you be the drop...?
I don't mean to hurt anyone's ideas but this is my opinion, sorry if i hurt someone...

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
May We Be Forgiven by A.M. Homes
Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
NW by Zadie Smith
Which do you think will win?
~Reading notable women writers recognized by The Women's Prize For Fiction ~
I have no idea who will win but I can't wait to start reading them!
My guess is Life after Life or Bring up the Bodies.
I've read only the Kingsolver book which I don't think is strong enough to win. Picador just sent me a copy of the Mantel book (which given the reviews is probably the strongest contender). And I just bout Where'd You Go Bernadette which looks very witty and original. I also just bought Life After Life which is getting VERY good reviews.
It's a strong list this year, but my vote is on Bring Up the Bodies.

Piper L-4A from WWII's Finney Field found in aircraft salvage yard
NOTE: This is the 23rd article about Clent Breedlove's Plainview Pre-Glider School at Finney Field.
By John W. McCullough
Texas Tech Graduate Student — History
In the last article, some details about a letter from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum provided more information about a Piper L-4A aircraft which Joe Morris purchased in 2006. Morris bought the aircraft frame from a man who lived outside of Denver, Colo.
The plane was just a shell at the time Morris bought it, and was not flyable.
"It was really just the frame of the plane when I purchased it and it showed a lot of wear. It obviously had been exposed to the weather for many years," commented Morris.
The letter from the Smithsonian, which came with the aircraft frame when Morris purchased it, was addressed to Don Port of Golden, Colo.
Sidney Donald "Don" Port did not actually purchase the Piper L-4A aircraft frame, but his son did. Don Port gave some details about his involvement with the Piper L-4A, but then referred other questions to his son, Donald E. "Donny" Port of Bailey, Colo., for more answers about the purchase and restoration of the aircraft frame.
In a recent interview, Donny Port stated that he stumbled across what he thought was a Piper "Cub" aircraft frame at Duff's Salvage Yard just outside of Denver, Colo., in 2004. Port said that Duff only dealt in aircraft salvage.
He said that Duff passed away just a year ago or so, but that the business was still operating under a new owner.
A search online found this listing: J.W. Duff Aircraft Co. at 8131 E. 40th Ave, Denver, Colo. When checking the website, the name of the company was listed as Acme Aircraft Sales & Salvage.
In a recent interview, Ken Harris, owner of Acme Aircraft Sales & Salvage (www.acmeairss.com), said that he purchased Duff Aircraft Salvage in July 2013.
Harris had discussed purchasing the business from Duff several times, and that they were negotiating a deal when Duff died in early 2013.
He left his entire business to his nephew, Jim Duff, who lives in Pueblo, Colo., said Harris. Harris then purchased the business from Jim Duff.
Harris said that to the best of his knowledge, J.W. Duff started his aircraft salvage business about 65-70 years ago, just after WWII ended.
According to Harris, Duff originally used his site as a temporary storage facility for wrecked aircraft. The insurance companies were interested in seeing the wrecks. Eventually, Duff had so many wrecked aircraft that he opened an aircraft salvage business.
An additional search online found the obituary for J.W. "Bill" Duff. The website (www.archdenmort.org) said that Duff was born June 24, 1926, and died Jan. 10, 2013.
The website stated that Duff owned and operated J.W. Duff Aircraft Company for more than 60, years and that it had expanded into "the largest small aircraft salvage yard in the country." Duff had been inducted into the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame, stated the obituary.
Harris said that Acme Aircraft covers 19 acres and that, like Duff, he only deals in aircraft salvage.
Donny Port said that in 2004, Duff's Salvage was comprised of acres and acres of airplane frames, wings and parts. It was bounded by a high chain link fence on all sides.
Donny Port said that he was looking for a Piper J3 "Cub" when he stumbled across what appeared to be a Piper L-4A frame when he visited Duff's Aircraft Salvage Yard in 2004.
"It was in a pile of all kinds of planes. I mean, you really had to look to see what it even was back there. You know, the fuselage was laying there with the seats and everything in it. I knew what it was," chuckled Port.
When asked how he knew what type of aircraft it was, Port replied that he had restored a Piper J3 "Cub" before. He also recognized the "greenhouse" framework on the back, top side of the L-4A plane which was used for observers. The observer's seat would actually swing all the way around so that the man sitting in it could look rearward out of the back of the plane.
Port described the frame in which he was interested as a Piper J3 "Cub" when he asked Duff about purchasing it from him. Port said that the Piper L-4A frame is much more rare than the Piper J3 "Cub," and thus much more expensive.
Duff had wings in his salvage yard which would fit an L-4A, but Port was not sure if the wings he found came from the same aircraft frame he had purchased. He said that the tail section, the "tail feathers," were on the L-4A frame when he bought it.
"I paid for that fuselage, and it had landing gear, all the brakes and stuff that were in it; it was only $1,800," said Port.
"It had the seats, but otherwise just the metal tubing of the frame of the aircraft. It did not have an engine, but it did have the floorboards and all the cables in it," he recalled.
Port later paid an additional $1,500 for the wings, which he attached to the aircraft frame. He had to replace all the wood spars in the wings, however. The wings could have been from a Piper J3 "Cub," but Port was not sure. He said that the wings of a J3 are interchangeable with the wings of an L-4A.
The horizontal stabilizer came with the frame, but he later purchased the elevators and rudder from Duff. He finished the rudders by covering them in fabric in olive drab color, or "OD green" as the Army calls that shade, said Port.
Port also bought an engine from Duff. It was a 65-hp Continental. He never purchased a propeller for it. He never completed the restoration of the airplane enough to be able to start the engine. It also had the boot cowling on it when he bought the frame.
Donny Port thinks that he spent about two to three months of total time restoring it over a year.
He is fairly certain that he purchased the Piper L-4A aircraft frame from Duff in May 2004 because his father, Don Port, wrote his letter to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum requesting information about the aircraft shortly after the aircraft frame was purchased. The letter was dated May 26, 2004.
More about this history of Joe Morris's Piper L-4A aircraft that was used in glider pilot training at Finney Field in early 1943 will be discussed in the next article.
Readers are asked to visit the Breedlove CPTP research website at www.breedlove-cptp.org for more details about the pre-glider program Finney Field.
Anyone with information about the Plainview Pre-Glider School at Finney Field should contact John McCullough at 806-793-4448 or email email@example.com.

Researchers from IIT Hyderabad have built a prototype for recycling polystyrene using citrus extract
It takes hundreds of years for polystyrene (thermocol being a widely used form of it) to be degraded in the natural environment. But in a solution of orange peel extract, it dissolves almost instantly – without the aid of external heat, pressure or acid.
Now a group of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad, has demonstrated a cheaper, low-energy, and green way of recycling polystyrene and low density Styrofoam (a form of expanded polystyrene) using orange peel extract. They have a working prototype, and a pilot-scale machine to recycle polystyrene is under construction...................Read more

Malik Obama is supporting Donald Trump for president, even attending Wednesday's Las Vegas debate as the republican candidate's guest, Page Six reports.
Radar previously reported that president Barack Obama's Kenyan-born half-brother first endorsed Trump, 70, in July, announcing that he agreed with his political stance.
"I'm excited to be at the debate. Trump can make America great again," Malik, 58, told The Post this week.
Meanwhile, Trump was happy to get support from at least one Obama, commenting: "I look very much forward to meeting and being with Malik. He gets it far better than his brother."
As for the women accusing Trump of sexual assault in recent weeks, Malik doesn't buy it.

Well, it's Friday! Woo Hoo! Party on!
Before I get into anything else, I want to announce who won the blog comment prize - it's you -
Christina, please e-mail your address to me (link on the right) and I'll get your prize out to you! Congrats!
Today, I would like to share a card that has been in my mind for at least two years! So many things leave my mind on a daily basis, but this thought managed to stick around! LOL I saw this card design at Waltzing Mouse Stamps so long ago. I ordered the stamp set way back then and just held on to it until.....TAILOR TILDA came out in the Turning Leaves Collection. I decided to use the sewing seamed stamp set for a birthday card featuring Tailor Tilda. Here is the final result:
This was a real labor of love. There are soooooooooooooooooooo many components to that flower arrangement! Want to know a secret? I did them twice! I had stamped them in black the first time and thought the black was too overpowering. So, I redid each and every component using a softer grey. Live and learn! Good thing I find the technique of cutting things out relaxing! Otherwise, I'd go nuts! LOL Some of the flowers have been elevated on pop dots. I'd like to thank whomever thought of the pink and blue card challenge as well as each of you that created a pink and blue card for that challenge. I loved the color scheme and thought I'd put it to use on this card.
Here are shots of the interior:
I hope the recipient likes the card. I know I like the colors. That Tilda is just adorable! Diana at MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS is currently out of this stamp, but if you contact her, I'm sure she'd order one for you. Her prices are wonderful!
Now, you know I love your comments sooooo much! I think I'll do the same thing this time around regarding a special somethin' somethin' for one lucky gal who leaves a comment. Leave a little verbal love. I'll count up the comments and ask DS who lives in Portland to pick a number. Whichever number he picks will be the lucky winner! That's what I did this time, so you can scowl at him, LOL!
Love you guys! Thanks for stopping by!
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Craft Punked #33 ends 8/23 - Flower Power
Stampin' With the Dragon ends 8/24 - Anything but a square or rectangle
Moving Along With the Times ends 8/29 - anything but a square
Stamp and Create ends 9/2 - Stitch It Up
Simon Says Stamp and Show - ends 8/19 - Favorite Technique
Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia #49 - ends 8/17 - Flowers

dear lord, i have to say, some times its just really had being her on earth for no reason at all.
I have 3 dogs, 1 of which is a very large german shepherd, who is very protective of me, my family and our home. he has bitten a couple of family friends in the past due to feeling threatened with them in our back garden. i must emphasise this dog is unusually large and can appear ultra agggressive, but is a really fun loving dog and very gentle at heart. about a year ago now i was out walking him near our house across the nearby fields. he was off the lead and wondering along happily. when rounding a hedge row corner we came across a women walking her dog unexpectadly. my dog jumped up and bit her on the arm drawing blood. the women was flustered, i mananged to convince her that it was totally out of character for the dog to bite, it had never happened before and that she must have scared him. within 2 minutes she was convinced it was her fault and couldn't apoligise enough.
I haven't gone to any of my classes, and I only have two days left to withdraw. I've been lying to everyone and telling them I'm going. I've really been sleeping. I also don't know if I'll be able to withdraw, because I owe the school so much money. I kind of suck at life.
When I was a child - maybe I was about 9 or 10 years old, there was a fire round the back of my mates house. We were cheeky little kids, but we were a little bit in awe of real firemen, so we went up to them and asked for their autographs. When we handed the scrap of paper to the third fireman, I noticed a smirk on his face, so I examined the signatures. Apparently the fire had been put out by Mickey Mouse, James Bond and some other fictional character I no longer recall. At first I was a bit upset about being duped. I felt like getting my own back on them. But then I realised, I already had. After all, it was us that started the fire.
I live in a fairly large apt complex, and I have noticed this 5-7 yr old boy roaming around. I keep having urges to scare this kid. Not hurt or anything so drastic, but maybe scare him. Why? i have a 2 year old myself that I would never harm or scare! I probably would never try to scare the kid in real life, but its weird that the thoughts run through my head!
I have lost 1000 dollers today and i think over 7000 dollers in total in the last 3 years in poker machines. I am kind of got addicted to it. Also now i withdraw cash from my credit card to quench my thirst for gambling.. i have lost my self esteem and i don't see my self as good person any more. There are such a lot of good things i could have done with that money for my family or friends or any one who needs money.. to make things worse i lie about all these small things to my family.. i really feel to get out of this and get back my life.. I am going to do all that possible to get things straight in my life and use the time/money to good things.
i have put drugs and alcohol before my children. am lazy in regards to making money to better my family. i do not keep in touch with my family like i should.
I hate you I hate you I hate you. I don't know why, or when it started. But i can't stand you. When you touch me, I can't even try to hide the dismay on my face. or when you talk to me, I can't help but to reply with something rude. i wish i could stop, i really really do, we used to have such great times, but i can't, and I wish that you could back away again. Or not just back away, leave. Which you will be, but it seems not soon enough. i can't try and be your friend again, because you are leaving, and it makes me sick. i think you are pathetic and wimpy. Your life is far better than anyone I know, and I hate you for thinking that it isn't. I JUST HATE. and I wish i didn't.
I feel like someone's ripped my heart from my chest. Hey, you still there? I just needed to say. Give you a heads up.At this point, that feeling of doom, that feeling of please don't say what I think your gonna say, centred in my chest, I stop breathing, for an eternity, waiting for you to tell me forever. I wait. I might be going away for a while. Okay now what do I do Can I be your friend? Can I see you again? Knowing in my heart all the time, You want my help, You want my advice, You want me because I am stranger, Because I'm objective, I am objective. I don't exist. Thing is, I am real. My whole world has been filled with rose and joy since I've met you, I cant sleep, I can't eat, I hang on your every word, you make me smile, you make me laugh, I want to make you better when your sad, you've made me come alive, you've reminded me i'm not cold, I'm not frozen up. You came to me and now your going. But I wont let fear take me, And I wont make the same mistakes again, You make me happy, Even if its just for today, Cause in the end, that's all we have. now. So now, I'm going to be fearless. Because I know you'll pass like the seasons. Better to regret what I did, rather than what I never tried.
Every time I see my boyfriend I find my self falling more and more in love with him, problem is I cant tell him how I really feel about him because I'm scared of how he'll respond.....
There was this guy that i fell in love with. we got on so well, and we'd always have the best time together. he said that he felt atracted to me, but since we were heading off to different universities, we shouldn't start a relationship. We went to our separate universities, but we still maintained a close friendship. Although he would date other guys (usually right before i would visit him), i still was very much in love with him, and i did mention it a couple of times and everytime he would say that i meant a lot to him and that he was attracted to me but that we shouldn't do anything. eventually, it came to the point where i felt that i should cut contact with him, because i couldn't stop myself from liking him. i told him this and we planned a good-bye visit. the visit went well, we had dinner and watched some movies, but when it came for him to leave i was hoping for somewhat of an emotional response. i walked him to his bus, all the while hoping he'd say something, maybe beg me to reconsider. he didn't. he got on the bus without even giving me a hug and just left. It's been months since i last saw/ spoke to him. Now, i despise him for not making more of an effort to try and keep me in his life. he makes me feel worthless. sometimes, i imagine myself going to his house and stabbing him and then killing all of his uni mates bare handed for somehow changing him and taking him from me. the most tragic thing though is that i really miss him.
Hello, my name is Brad. I want to be a good man. Anyway I want to say that it starts today at 01:23:45
men just suck and are full of lies. they toy with my emotions just so they can be with me. i say i too can play at this game. from now on my relations will be a calculated plan. After all "I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things. We can do the tango just for two. I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings, be your valentino just for you..." watch out boys you have met your match i can make you fall head over heals and not feel a damn thing myself just like you...you jerks have had it coming!
sometimes (like now) i am afraid of going to sleep because i know i have to get up in the morning and start another day.
My mother is a huge burden. I love her so much, but I think my resentment towards her is getting out of control. I've been taking care of her my whole life, but since I started collage 6 years ago she's been like my child. I pay her bills, handle her problems. I can't deal with it much longer, but without me I know she'll kill herself. I wake up every morning clenching my teeth I'm so stressed out, I don't know how it will all end.
I hate my sisters. They are both still kids and one just had a baby, and the other one is pregnant. they are not even 20 yet. I have been trying to have a baby with my fiancee for almost a year now. I'm the oldest. They can't even take care of their own babies. I hate them. I have everything but a baby... Life is so unfair...
Even though everyone thinks our friendship is perfect, I secretly HATE my best friend. She's one of those trampy, "codependant" girls, who always run back to a guy even though they treated the girl like trash. She goes around calling herself "emo", even though everyone knows she's a poser. The only reason I haven't stopped being her friend is because I don't want to throw away the friendship we have had since 2nd grade.
I have a crush on this girl that is in my biology class. every day I look forward to class just to see her. It's sad but I can't seem to muster the courage to tell her how I feel about her. This is my senior year in high school and I have very little time to tell her before graduation. If that happens then I am afraid that I will never see her again and tell her my feelings.

The photo above was taken after Postmedia journalists Glen McGregor and Stephen Maher were given an award for their ongoing reporting of the robocall scandal – they are dancing to a "Pierre Poutine song inspired by the journalists' robocall investigation". I'm not kidding (see here).
So when Sun News' Ezra Levant asked today if Maher and McGregor will be giving back these media awards (see here apx 16:00 mark) it's not a rhetorical question.
Think about it, these two won multiple news media awards for a story that never happened.

Disk Performance on Cluster
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 17 Feb 2004
Question: I was wondering if anybody can tell me what kind of disk performance I can expect if I setup a cluster with two nodes and a server as an iSCSI target for those nodes.
I was thinking of using three HP DL360G3 servers and a dedicated Gigabit network for iSCSI.
How much slower would this be compared to direct attached storage or a SAN? Can I use this for disc applications like iFolder and home directories? Any advice would be welcome.
Answer: One expert told us that a fibre fabric will work at 2GB in each direction with no attenuation. The GB LAN has a theoretical maximum bandwidth of some 700MB.
The performance of the LAN is however probably better than the disc performance from any IDE RAID, and when looking at a SCSI system you will need at least 9 disks (including two parity) to flood the GB LAN.
Anyone else care to chime in on this topic? Don't be shy.
Randy Grein
This question (disk performance in general, and specifically on a cluster) is a common one. The information is out there, but it is necessary to dig up component information, and then piece the puzzle together. I have a set of papers I'm putting together on the subject, but here are some short answers:
Raw gigabit performance depends on implementation details (copper gigabit isn't true gigabit, BTW) but remember that it is a full duplex connection and traditional read/write ratios are 3:1. This means that raw throughput over fiber connections could reach 1 GBit/s /8 bits, or 120 Mbytes/s out, 40 Mbytes/s in. Protocol and file system overhead will clearly reduce this maximum, even if the disk channel could deliver it.
Multiple FC standards exist. The current is 2 GBit/s, vendors are wrangling over 4 and 10 GB for the next step - and the original FC was, if memory serves 800 Mbits/s.
Server performance is nearly always limited by the disk channel - specifically too few drives. While drive performance for sequential access has continued to improve random i/o access (the common access pattern in multi user, multitasking environments) has stayed nearly flat. Worse, most systems use RAID 5, which provides maximum usable disk space at the expense of write performance. In an extreme example, a 3 drive RAID 5 system could experience small write performance as poor as 1-1.5 Mbytes/s.
Editor's Note: Randy has graciously offered to share his papers with us when he's got them finished. We're looking forward to that!

Who are RSS B0YS? Shut up, it doesn't matter! If you need to know more than that there are two of them and that they're Polish, you're not paying attention to the right things. It's the music, man, not the people behind the music. Lock the questions away in your mind and never ask them again. You might find you don't like the answers anyway.
What I can tell you is this: RSS B0YS don't eff around. They operate in some post−Wax Trax! universe where Chicago industrial evolved into black hole−massive techno, where bass and beats collide at an atomic level with chords and melodies that will snap your neck with the amount of involuntary double takes you're liable to be inflicted with. They blast you at times with breakneck passages (see the diabolical and diabolically catchy "R00N 0N"), and at others the tunes are smooth as glass, or the "chillax" setting of your iTunes visualizer (see the diabolically catchy "BYRD R00N"). But the best part about B0DY FL0W is that the entire thing acts like a wonderful mixtape primer of everything that's great about electronic music. It fulfills the promise of its title in that it FL0Ws perfectly from one track to the next, from one minute to the next.

There seems to be this idea that men are more content being single than women. I know both sex's desire relationships but I do feel that men deal with the single life better. Women tend to vocalize their need for a relationship more because it's at the forefront of their minds and society deems unattached women as outcasts more often than men. Women are constantly reminded about the biological clock and crave a family men don't have this kind of pressure.
Evan Marc Katz wrote an interesting piece on the subject. Below are 4 reasons women hate being single compared to men.
SEX - this may seem hard to digest but there are some men who don't desire to have the same kind of relationship that women do. Some of your needs are being met i.e. spending lots of time together with the hope that it turns into a serious relationship. He has other plans in mind and you'll find that the relationship is often on his terms. When you're together it's good but once you've gone it's out of sight out of mind. Why you ask? Probably because his needs are being met throughout his career, friendships, hobbies etc. Feelings will always grow the longer you're intimate with someone but it doesn't mean it will develop into a relationship. Plus there's less stigma around men having casual sex.
EXPECTATIONS- I believe women have greater expectations whilst dating and inadvertently put pressure on the men and themselves. Men can date casually and not get attached; this is much harder for women. Men often go into dating relaxed with the notion of having fun getting to know you. Women on the other hand go in with higher expectations hoping to find their knight in shining armour. Men are more patient with the process and are willing to accept women for who they are.
SELF- DEFINTION- Steve Harvey said that men are defined by three things who he is (his title), what he does (his job), and how much he makes (his reward for his efforts). Women don't function like this, not to say we are not career driven or ambitious but deep down our emotional being will override all that. Women are more likely to see their relationship as what defines them and sometimes obsess about being single. We then get lonely/ needy and start to question ourselves. Men can date multiple women and get each different need met. Women don't like to do this and would rather have the whole package.
COMMUNICATION STYLES- I love to talk and have a great network of men/ women I can babble on to. Men don't have the same support and tend to keep their circle smaller. Notice it's mainly women reading self-help books and going to seminars because we have no problem admitting we need help. My girlfriends and I discuss our feelings often, it's the norm. I'm not sure how many men openly vocalise their need for assistance.
We all have similar needs, don't we? The longing for companionship, affection, support emotionally and mentally. Though it seems each sex deals with these needs differently. I have to agree that men find it easier being single. Thoughts?

text: Before ditching it altogether hoping someone may have a suggestion to get my phone to turn completely OFF so I can let it finish drying out. Dropped in toilet. No lectures please... Was at work, so no access to hairdryer etc. It was instantly removed and dried as best as I can since you can't take it apart (or at least I couldn't find a way to do it). at first it was on and seemed to have the water out of it. But within a few the buttons quit working. Everyone suggested sitting in rice to draw out the moisture while it dried out. Got some from the cafeteria at work. Unfortunately I couldn't turn it off and it started pulling up the boot menu (but again the buttons don't work so couldn't do anything with the menu). I noticed it was getting warm (due to it trying to boot or do something I assume) and so I pulled it from the rice and checked on it and now it's in fastboot flash mode menu, first the battery was ok (below is what was on the screen) but now running down and said Low and not programmable: AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure) To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down. Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0 Battery OK OK to program Transfer Mode: USB not connected If I pushed the power button, it quick closed the screen, but then came back on within a second or two... Now it just has a flash across the screen when I hit the power button and goes blank. At this point I think the battery just has to die, let it dry and see if I can get it back with the power cord tomorrow after time for drying? Any suggestions besides not dropping it in the toilet are most welcome. Thanks. M

Tacoma Baptist High School Retreat
This annual retreat, held in September, is a great way to kick off our school year! With a focus on growing faith, renewing friendships, and having fun, students enjoy 24 hours bonding with their classmates and teachers. The time is spent in carefully planned activities that promote unity among the student body. A speaker challenges each teen to consider a deeper commitment to the Lord and the student worship team leads in praise and singing.
The Student Council plays a significant role in this retreat, planning most of the activities and providing leadership throughout our time together. Games, time in the lake, good food, the famous TBS Talent Show, and plenty of organized craziness add up to make this retreat a memorable event each year.

PARIS (Reuters) - Paris airports are among the world's busiest and boast only the finest French fashion boutiques, but something's missing that can be found in lounges across the globe — a shoe-shine stand.
The absence illustrates the challenge of expanding customer services in the country, the head of the French capital's main airport operator said.
"I would be happy to have shoe cleaners in our airports, but for me it has been impossible to find an economic model where people are willing to shine shoes in haughty France," said Augustin de Romanet, chief executive of Aeroports de Paris.
"It is an example of the fact that in France, service is often considered as servitude so it is harder to offer day-to-day services," he told a conference in Paris hosted by The Economist.
ADP, which runs Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, is focusing on boosting services to diversify revenues while competing with other hubs.
Jobs like the shoe polishing service are at the center of a long-running debate over what unions regard as a shift towards low-quality service industry roles.
Employers say more labor flexibility would boost employment but unions say poorly paid service jobs tend to come with a lack of security.France's Socialist government has acknowledged that France's labor market, governed by a 3,000-page labor code, needs to be made more flexible. It carried out a modest reform in 2013 and is promising to make it easier for some firms to hire and fire.
Romanet did not say whether the new airport concourse jobs would be offered with permanent or temporary contracts.
Future airport services could include more places to sleep for people on long connections, Romanet said.
ADP is making a particular attempt to cater for people from the fast-growing travel markets of Asia, with more vegetarian meals for Indian travelers and new direction signs in Chinese.
"In the future the airport will be a kind of small city," he told the conference on the 'Future of Aerospace' on Thursday.
Romanet said retail and real estate revenues would continue to increase. Other forms of revenue such as landing fees and parking are regulated or pose problems in raising prices.
The former civil servant and banker dismissed concerns among U.S. and European airlines about competition from the Gulf, whose airlines and airports have eaten into their business, worsening trade tensions.
"Competition is good for everyone. Their demands have helped other markets to grow. For sure they are subsidized, but not so much," Romanet said.
(This version of the story orrects first name in third paragraph to Augustin)

USC School of Medicine Greenville requires all first-year medical students complete a 200-hour Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification course and serve as practicing EMTs during medical school.
"Doctors think we're idiots."
The paramedic turned to look in my eyes as he said that. It was 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I was lounging in a deserted fire station with two medics waiting for our next call. The conversation had turned to how doctors view medics' capabilities. That statement took me aback. It made me think, will the day come when I, too, take for granted the decades of experience, tireless work, and gracious kindness medics treat my patients with? I hope not.
That simple sentence carried enormous impact. Changed my thinking process.
I don't want to be that doctor. I don't want to have an authority complex.
After experiencing EMT training, I understand why USC School of Medicine Greenville requires it. It's first-hand proof that doctors can't do it all. Medicine leaves no room for doctors to flaunt education, ability, or income in other healthcare workers' faces. What it does leave room for is professionals of all types uniting, using their unique abilities to achieve a common goal: saving some lives and making others better.
Many of my classmates have mentioned how EMT training has shaped their thinking process, how it gave them a broader view of medicine and a unique respect for the myriad of medical professionals who support doctors. We all agree these professionals aren't inferior.
Can doctors insert IVs into dehydrated patients in the back of a rig flying down the interstate at 60 mph? Could a plastic surgeon save a cardiac arrest victim with blatant confidence?
EMT training has taught me that we need all types of medical professionals to succeed and keep our patients healthy.
I believe this kind of paradigm shift—exposing students not just to many different types of doctoring, but to many different types of medical professionals—is one of the most wonderful things about USC School of Medicine Greenville.
Our medical school doesn't just want to make us technically skilled, violently brilliant, culturally literate, superb communicators. Sure, they want us to be those things. But, just as important, they want to instill in us the humility to realize that no matter how excellent we are, we desperately need help. Hospitals cannot function without laundry. They cannot function without a kitchen. They cannot function without nurse assistants. As such, I believe USC School of Medicine Greenville wants us to know that these people are all critical to the greater healthcare team. And recognizing and respecting the roles of all healthcare team members will make us better doctors.
As I think back to that late night in the fire station, I understand the true meaning of the medic's statement, "Doctors think we're idiots." Hidden beneath his words was this plea:
"Jensyn, when you're a doctor, don't be like that."

Living in Croatia
last update: August 2014
Asylum seekers are accommodated in the open reception center (Prihvatni centar za tražitelje azila) on the premises of the old hotel Porin, in Dugave, the suburbs of Zagreb. There they receive 3 meals per day and they are supposed to receive 100kn per month (around 13euros), but in reality most do not receive this money, or they receive it with a few months delay.
Upon receiving a protection status, integration measures that exist in Croatia are very limited. The authorities are supposed to provide you an accommodation for the first two years, but in reality it often takes months before this is organised and people with a refugee or subsidiary protection status end up living in the Porin reception center for asylum seekers for several months.
There is no systematic provision of the Croatian language courses – neither for the asylum seekers, nor for people who have received the refugee or subsidiary protection status.
Because of weak integration measures by the states, migrants in Croatia continue to be pushed to the margins of the society. The Red Cross and Center for Peace Studies are two organisations that help with integration, and they can be turned to for assistance in this respect.

Exciting news on the advocacy front! EMWP's third summer workshop drew in attendees from around the state and the country. New Everyday Advocates joined returning fellows to learn ways of organizing for change in their local contexts, with a goal of reframing the conversation about the teaching of literacy. Teachers created action plans for developing allies, identifying decision-makers, honing their message, naming realistic goals, and coming up with tactics that might lead to real change. Among the plans that the participants came up with:
Alaina Feliks is working to help parents, teachers and administrators understand why it's important to create a vibrant and well-supported reading community.
Liz Thackery has created a plan to help teachers, departments heads, and curriculum leaders understand the importance of teachers implementing innovative, research-based curricula in their schools.
Daniel Potter is helping policy makers better understand how teachers are already helping students learn literacy and involving decision-makers in these ways of teaching.
And more exciting post-workshop news: the Everyday Advocacy website that grows out of this work and that is sponsored by NCTE is almost ready to launch—with amazing information about becoming a change agent and lots of examples from teachers who have taken EMWP advocacy workshops. We'll have a big presence at this year's NCTE convention in Atlanta: teachers from across the country (and in the EMWP network) have gone through 3 evenings of online workshops and will lead a series of sessions at convention. The goal is to help members of NCTE see themselves as Everyday Advocates and to rewrite the story of literacy education!
Come join us there and take a moment to view our website!

5 Steps To Consider Before Buying
5 Steps To Consider Before Buying
|Below, we present you with 5 essential steps to consider before buying a new home. The endeavor of buying a new home can be a challenging one and should be carefully planned instead of jumping in head first! The Jim Mills Team has organized the following 5 simple steps so you may avoid what we call the "Domino Effect"; that one misstep in the process which creates unforeseen obstacles further down the path of home ownership.
We present you with this information because we, as a team, possess decades of experience in guiding people just like you through each and every stage of owning a new home. If you have any questions feel free to contact us by phone (toll-free: 1-888-584-8456) or email a member of the Jim Mills Team.
|Determining the Fair Market Value and the amount of equity present in your current home is a crucial part of this process.
Having sold homes in the Charleston area for the last few years, I am very knowledgeable about marketing your home and getting the top $ with the least amount of problems in the quickest amount of time!
Choosing A Realtor
This could be the most important step up the path to the home you deserve. If you choose the wrong realtor, you may very well end up with the wrong home. Choosing the wrong realtor can cause a "domino effect", jeopardizing the entire home buying process. Whether you choose the Jim Mills Team or not, there are certain qualities that you should not just hope for, but demand.
Choosing A Mortgage Company
|Your choice of your mortgage company must be a well thought out decision, as this could make a huge difference in your financial situation. Understanding the different types of loans available and being able to make a wise decision as to which is best for you and your family is extremely important.
Even though we have knowledge and understanding of most available loans we feel that a true professional in the mortgage arena would be best qualified to guide you to the right home loan for you.
We will supply you with a list of lenders that we have dealt with in the past and have found to be very reputable as well as competitive.
Choosing A Home Inspector
|Choosing the right home inspector should be considered as important as the foundation of your potential new home. Therefore, we will guide you to the most trusted and steadfast inspectors. We want you to be assured that the new home for your family is in acceptable condition and that there are no electrical, mechanical or plumping defects and the home is structurally sound. A good inspector's aim is to discover problems with the home that may not be readily apparent. The idea is to point out the problems without exaggerating the defects. Whether you choose our team or not, be very choosy when it comes to your home inspector. You and your loved ones satisfaction, security and safety depends on it.
Choosing Home Owners Insurance
|This is a simple sounding yet very complicated decision. A good homeowner's insurance agent is a great resource for info on home safety issues and can tell you how to keep insurance premiums low. Finding a good homeowners insurance agent early in the process can help to save you money. There is no one insurance agency that is best fitted for everyone. The Jim Mills Team can provide you with resources directing you to the type of homeowner's insurance agent you need.
Choosing An Attorney
|Selecting a good attorney is a very necessary step along the path to your new home. A good attorney will help you complete the paperwork, do in depth title searches, deed preparation and make sure that the covenants of the contract are respected by all parties involved.
An excellent attorney will have the staff and resources to complete your home buying process. The attorney will also answer any and all questions that you may have during the process. This is a critical decision that must be thought out as a wrong choice of an attorney could delay your closing and complicate what should be a joyful experience.

"On the right, on the right, Lewis Buxton. On the right he'll go past you. On the right, on the right, Lewis Buxton.
Lewis Buxton is the white Cafu."
It was more than three years ago Wednesdayites came up with that chant for the popular defender. It is a song that still brings a smile to Buxton's face, even days after the Championship club decided to dispense with his services.
"Every now and then, I could hear that song when I was playing and that was brilliant for me," the right-back told The Star. "To hear people singing a song about you is something you dream about as a kid.
"It is always something I will appreciate and I would like to thank the fans for all their support. I have really enjoyed my time at the club."
Things have not always gone plain sailing for Buxton, who initially moved to Hillsborough on loan from Stoke City in October 2008.
"I struggled when I first came and I don't think I played very well," he said.
"I hadn't played regularly and had a back operation. That was hard for me and I got a bit of a stick but I think that spurred me on and I put a lot of work in and feel like I managed to turn things around over the last few years."
While Wednesday's relegation to League One in 2010 was the low moment of his Owls career, Buxton has enjoyed plenty of happy memories in recent years. He featured prominently in the 2012 promotion-winning team and scooped the player of the year award the following season.
Buxton said: "It was great to help the club get promoted and get back in the Championship. That was a special season. There was a real good team spirit and it all began with Gary Megson. I will always look back on that year with fond memories. All the lads really enjoyed the battle we had with Sheffield United. The rivarly between the two clubs gave it that extra buzz around the city. It would be great if they got back in the same league.
"I think the city needs the Steel City derbies. They are great spectacles for everyone to be involved in and talk about. It gives that extra spice and fire to the season."
Injuries have restricted Buxton to just 30 outings in the last two seasons. Since April 2014, the 31-year-old has damaged his medial knee ligament on THREE occasions.
"I hurt my knee at Bournemouth last season, then in pre-season and again last October," he said. "It was frustrating and you know when you're contract is up and you are one of the older players that you've got to get the games to get a chance of getting another deal."
Given his quality and pedigree, it is unlikely the man dubbed the white Cafu will be out of work for long.

- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sliced fresh peaches (plus more diced peaches for topping)
French toast
- 8 slices French bread (1 loaf of thicker bread, not skinny baguette)
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- syrup (for topping)
To make the filling, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract with a spoon until smooth. Spread cream cheese filling on slices of bread and top with peach slices. Make two French toast "sandwiches."
In shallow pan or pie plate, beat eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture on each side.
Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Cook French toast sandwiches for a few minutes until golden brown and then flip and repeat on the other side.
Serve warm with diced peaches and maple syrup for an unforgettable breakfast or brunch!
