text: Sunday was a bad day... I had one debian Lenny master dedicated server controlling a debian Lenny virtual machine at a data centre. The virtual slave hung and on reboot couldn't get past the grub loader. I was told there seemed significant damage to the file system. As a result they created me a new virtual machine using the same name and same ip with the intention to get this working as if it were the original machine and attach the old hard drive to it to try and recover data. The installation of ispconfig slave seemed to go well on the new machine. It is now added to the control panel alongside the old machine that is now off line. My first question is how do I completely remove the old machine when it's not there to communicate with? The new machine has two services offline. Smtp and mysql server. Mysql does appear to be working despite what's in the control panel. How should I start to problem shoot smtp? Squirrel mail also complains of no smtp stream when sending mail. Thanks In advance.

So, GTA: Vice City wasn't enough for you, huh? You wanted a bigger challenge, didn't you? Or maybe you wanted to play an almost unlimited version of Grand Theft Auto? Well, Rockstar has answered your prayers. With breadth and scope surpassing anything on the PS2, San Andreas is not only great... it's enormous! What exactly are you in for? Read on...
This massive game spans the entire state of San Andreas, with visits to three major cities patterned on real-life counterparts. There's Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), a gritty blur of smog and violence; San Fierro (based on San Francisco), and Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas), a midnight wonderland crawling with money, sex and corruption.
Three cities would have been more than enough to keep gamers busy for months, but Rockstar went and did it... adding huge chunks of countryside that link all the areas together. Contained within this massive landscape is a helluva lot of game.
There are dozens of missions, hundreds of cheats and secrets, tons of vehicles and weapons, and all kinds of new stuff to do. Stuff like recruiting gang members, swimming, getting tattoos, graffiti tagging, building property, riding bikes, eating, working out, getting a haircut, attracting the ladies and much, much more. And we've got the guide to it all right here.

So if you think I haven't been blogging as much: you're right.
Over the past few weeks, my personal Plan B Nation has become an increasingly busy place, and while that's mainly a very good thing, it's also entailing some readjustments and recalibrations.
As you may have read, last month's Life Experiment—taking a photo everyday as I learned to use my new digital camera—came to an abrupt end only days after it began. I realized I simply couldn't add another thing to my plate. While at first I saw this as a failure (bad!), I ended up realizing that it was doing what any good experiment should: Giving me useful information.
In that spirit, I'm taking this month's Life Experiment in a somewhat different direction. Instead of focusing on an activity, I'll be playing with metaphor and shifting perspective.
I recently wrote about how I'm trying to bring more playfulness into my life—to still get things done but to have more lightness in the doing. For much of my foray in Plan B Nation, Getting Things Done has felt like accomplishment enough. On some days simply getting out of bed felt like a pretty big deal.
But lately, I've come to wonder if things have to feel so grim. In particular, I've been thinking about the role of metaphor. Which brings me to breadcrumbs and basket weaving, aka Life Experiment #4.
On Breadcrumbs . . .
Instead of marching through a to-do list, I'm a bird following bread crumbs. Breadcrumbs are: Nourishing. A bird doesn't order itself to follow a trail of breadcrumbs. That comes naturally. A trail of breadcrumbs invites you on. You don't have to think about it.
I've been playing with this over the past few weeks, and I like how it's feeling. Looking for the next breadcrumb is way better than pushing myself to Be More Productive.
and basket weaving
Another big challenge has been feeling that I'm moving in too many different directions. By nature and habit, I go for depth rather than for breadth. I like to focus on one thing, to give it my full attention.
Of course, that isn't always possible—it isn't for me right now—so I've been mulling over how I can keep doing lots of things but feel a little less stressed. The answer, at least for now, seems to be basket weaving.
Instead of seeing life as pulling me in disparate conflicting directions, I'm thinking of my various activities as strands in a single basket. The challenge is weaving them together. The challenge is creating a whole. What I was viewing as a source of stress has become a creative project.
Which isn't to say that I really like being all this busy. I'm hoping (expecting) that by April's end, things will have settled down. In the meantime, I plan to do what I can to hold the situation lightly—to follow the trail of breadcrumbs and practice basket weaving.
Note: My interest in how metaphor can shape experience was sparked by The Fluent Self's Havi Brooks–if you're interested in reading more, she's written loads on the topic.

In your final year, more of your time will be spent on an independent research project and independent study; therefore, you can expect to average between 6-9 hours of contact time spent in lectures, seminars and tutorials. As a Geography student your degree will have a modular structure. In each year learning is delivered over two teaching semesters of eleven weeks and a third summer term of eight weeks for revision, examinations and progress review. Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, including lectures, small group tutorials, seminars, laboratory classes and field classes. Particular course modules in Geography may involve individual or group project work, preparing oral presentations, and library or web-based research. In the video below, our Geography students talk about Learning and Living at the University of Birmingham. Video transcript here Geography Graduate "Staff in the geography department and in the whole university are friendly and made it really easy to settle in. At the same time they have offered a high standard of teaching and support." An inspirational and enquiry-based learning environment Our cutting-edge teaching programme is built on a foundation of over one hundred years of research and teaching excellence. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner shaping your own intellectual development with us. You will learn from academic specialists at the top of their fields and the world-leading research they carry out feeds directly into our degree programmes. The research-led teaching on our flexible degree courses ensures an inspirational and enquiry-based learning environment in the classroom, lab and field. Extensive facilities As well as lectures, tutorials and practical classes you will have access to extensive educational facilities across the School and University including library resources, a well-equipped map room, state-of-the-art laboratory and IT facilities, and purpose-built learning spaces. You will also have a wealth of opportunities to go out into the field; gaining hands-on experience on residential courses across the UK and overseas. We are home to the Lapworth Museum of Geology, brimming with more than 250,000 specimens some over 500 million years old. As one of the oldest specialist designated and accredited geological museums in the UK, this is an invaluable study resource. Support during your studies You will be assigned your own personal tutor who will get to know you as you progress through your studies. They will provide academic support and advice to enable you to make the most of your time here at Birmingham. We also have dedicated welfare tutors who provide professional support, advice and guidance to students across a range of issues. They can meet with you to discuss extensions, disabilities, reasonable adjustments, extenuating circumstances, or talk through any problems you might be experiencing, and help you access wider support on campus and beyond. During your first year it is important that you have a smooth transition into University. You will be able to talk to your tutors about this and discuss if there are particular areas where you need support. Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the Centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions with support with mathematics and statistics based problems provided by experienced mathematicians, to workshops on a range of topics including note talking, reading, writing and presentation skills. Fieldwork Getting out of the lecture theatre and into the field is an exhilarating experience. Whether you're sampling, mapping or collecting data, the subject matter really comes alive. There's no better way to learn about the natural and the built world than by being in the great outdoors. Fieldwork is an integral part of our degree programmes. It offers you the chance to travel, work independently as well as in a group and learn valuable technical skills. Video transcript here Year 1 Fieldwork is an integral part of our degree programmes and many modules will have a local fieldwork component. Additionally, there is a four-day residential field course for all Geography and Environmental Science programmes in November of Year 1. Recent destinations for geographers and environmental scientists have included Snowdonia, the Peak District, Shropshire, and the Forest of Dean. Geographers and Planners currently undertake a Europe-based residential course to Rotterdam, with a local, non-residential alternative also offered. Year 2 and final year At the end of semester two Single Honours students undertake a second residential field course of five or seven days. Many of these field courses are centred in European cities, and they are more specialised and focus specifically on human or physical geography topics. Recent human geography field course destinations have included cities such as Amsterdam; Moscow; Prague; Berlin; Dublin, and Seville, whilst physical geographers have been to Evora in Portugal; Malta; Tenerife; and Bala, in Wales. Year 2 and final year At the end of semester two Single Honours students undertake a second residential field course of six or seven days. Many of these field courses are centred in European cities, and they are more specialised and focus specifically on human or physical geography topics. Recent human geography field course destinations have included cities such as Amsterdam; Moscow; Prague; Berlin; Dublin, and Seville, whilst physical geographers have been to Evora in Portugal; Malta; Tenerife; and Bala, in Wales. In Years 2 and 3 (or Years 2 and 4 for Year Abroad students) some modules involve additional fieldwork components, which are usually non-residential. Such work is especially important in biogeography, palaeoecology and hydrology where experience in field methodologies is even more essential. For the majority of students field training is an important part of the preparation for undertaking dissertation projects in the final year. Some students decide to undertake research work overseas. This usually requires more preparation and some fund-raising. The University and the Royal Geographical Society have competitive travel scholarships for this purpose. It is sometimes possible to develop dissertation research in association with staff research projects. Recent student research of this kind has been undertaken in Iceland, Costa Rica, Norway, the Pyrenees and in northern Italy. We will make the necessary arrangements to accommodate students with disabilities for field courses throughout your time at Birmingham. Find out more about fieldwork costs and funding. Studying abroad The School has official ERASMUS exchange programmes with universities in Germany (Gottingen), the Netherlands (Groningen, where many of the courses are given in English), and Belgium (Leuvan). This enables students on the 4-year Study Abroad course to spend Year 3 at a partner institution. Assessment methods Your degree will be appraised in a mixture of ways: coursework, major projects, practical work, oral presentations, exams and continual assessment. Some modules only have an exam, others only project work. We place strong emphasis on individual project work/the research dissertation in Years 2 and 3. At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done for future modules. Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching at school or college. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham. During your first year you will also be given a formal transition review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your school or department and can help with any academic issues you may encounter.

You will have a perspective that encompasses the global, regional and local and be highly regarded by employers. Video transcript here Where could a Geography degree take you? Recent graduates have found employment in a wide range of fields. Our most recent student survey showed that six months after graduation many students were engaged in work or study directly related to geography, with the remainder choosing career paths in areas outside of the subject where the transferable skills gained on the programme prove invaluable. Many Geography graduates use their skills to get jobs directly related to geography, including nature conservation, environmental consultancy, tourism development, and town planning. A proportion also go on to pursue careers in teaching. A number of students get jobs in the public services, the commercial sector and industry, including financial and professional services, personnel management, retail, and local government. Around a quarter of graduates go on to further study before entering employment including PGCEs (for teaching), one-year taught Masters courses (such as those for town planning), or doctoral research programmes.

Societies, School and campus life The School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences is one of the friendliest and most dynamic at the University. There's a great atmosphere and sense of community among students and staff. Learning apart, there is a lot going on, much of it driven by the two main student societies: The Kinvig Society - named after the first head of the Geography Department, Robert Henry Kinvig – is one of the biggest and most active student societies on campus. Run by students, it lays on a lively and varied programme of social events throughout the year, culminating in the black-tie Kinvig Ball at one of the city's top venues in November and the Three Peaks challenge in aid of chosen charities. As well as trips to restaurants, bars and nightclubs, there are sporting events: Kinvig sports representatives organise teams for the inter-departmental University sports leagues. Football, rugby, hockey, netball, volleyball and squash are usually available for both men and women; in some cases, for mixed teams as well. If you're a geographer or environmental science student, Kinvig will write to you before term starts with a full programme of events to help you settle in happily during your first few weeks. Follow Kinvig on Twitter The Lapworth Society (LapSoc) is the student society for Earth Sciences students. Named after Birmingham's first Professor of Geology, Charles Lapworth, it organises social events such as pub quizzes, drinks nights and the end-of-year-ball in March. It fields intermural sports teams in the University's netball and six-a-side football leagues, training regularly and playing matches every Wednesday afternoon against other schools across campus.

I heard a very nice story on Austan Goolsbee, the new Chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, this morning on NPR. It reminded me that I wanted to hold Austan up as a rare example of an economist who makes economics accessible and compelling to non-economists. Last week the White House featured him doing the above "White House White Board" one-minute explanation of the Obama Administration's position on the Bush Tax Cuts. I think it's very effective–even though I'd prefer that we shrink the permanent size of all those circles he draws and swap them for smaller but more "powerful" ones.
The NPR story on Austan links to Austan's very entertaining appearance on The Colbert Report and quotes Doug Holtz-Eakin saying this about Austan:
"There are not many people who are smart, who are well-trained, and at the same time can take off the gloves and be extremely populist on the airwaves and the campaign trail, and then win comedian of the year award," said Holtz-Eakin.
But Austan is not the only funny economist out there. Thanks to reader Jim Glass, I've discovered the "Stand-Up Economist," Yoram Bauman, who entertained an economists-only audience at this year's American Economic Association meetings. You might not really "get" all this humor if you haven't been through graduate-level economics training or have otherwise become an economics geek, but it's absolutely hilarious if you have. (And you should probably not post it on your Facebook profile as a way to get dates.)

We're just days away from the 'True Blood' season 6 premiere, and fan-blood has begun to boil with anticipation for the return of Bill, Sookie, Eric and the rest. Before Sunday's big debut episode "Who Are You, Really," we've got two all-new clips from 'True Blood' season 6 to tide you over, wherein the truth of Bill's return is revealed!
So what is Bill, really? Well, judging from the first of two clips Bill seems to have settled down and cleaned himself up, explaining to Sookie and the others that he remains Bill Compton, as well as something more. The second look at Sunday's premiere sees Eric in a heated argument with Pam (we miss when they were besties), particularly over his secret sister Nora.
Thus far, 'True Blood' season 6 features a returning guest cast of Courtney Ford's Portia Bellefleur, 'Last Resort' star Robert Patrick, Anna Camp's Sarah Newlin, along with new additions Luke Grimes as the "Jim Morrison of vampires," 'Rubicon' star Arliss Howard as the sinister Governor Truman Burrell, Rutger Hauer as the mysterious Niall Brigant, 'House' star Karolina Wydra and 'Eastenders' star Robert Kazinsky as Sookie's new fairy boytoy.
Premiering this Sunday, June 16, season 6 will take place over 10 episodes, down from the usual 12, largely to accommodate series star Anna Paquin's pregnancy with co-star Stephen Moyer. Take a look at the premiere clips above and below, and give us your predictions for 'True Blood"s Sunday debut in the comments!

Shark found struggling in Oregon surf
SEASIDE, Ore. - Aquarium staff tried to save the life of a 4-foot salmon shark found struggling in the surf on Sunset Beach on Wednesday.
Staff from the Seaside Aquarium arrived at the beach at 4:15 p.m. and rushed the shark back to the aquarium.
Aquarium staff did what they could to revive the shark but it was obvious that the shark was not going to survive the night, said Tiffany Boothe with the Seaside Aquarium. She said sharks found struggling in the surf have something very wrong with them and the chances of survival are small.
Juvenile salmon sharks have a remarkable resemblance to Great White sharks and are often reported as baby Great Whites, Boothe said.
The visual identifying characteristics between the two are small. There are differences in their teeth and other physical features.
Salmon sharks can get quite large, up to 11 feet. This is the third salmon shark to be reported in the Seaside area in the last two weeks.
One was seen washing ashore at Silver Point just south of Cannon Beach. The third was spotted struggling in the surf in Manzanita.
The shark picked up by the aquarium will be necropsied by a local school group. Tissue and muscle samples will be taken for an ongoing study being done by graduate students at Stanford University.

Early in training camp, reports from Miami stoked some fear about how well Jonathan Martin would do as the team's starting left tackle.
He was getting beaten for sacks by Olivier Vernon and Dion Jordan at practice, raising concerns about how well he'd do when facing guys like Paul Kruger, Robert Mathis and Elvis Dumervil in the early weeks of the season. The Dolphins have played three preseason games since then, but the concern about Martin hasn't grown based on his performance in those contests.
According to coach Joe Philbin, that's because Martin has been "quietly improving" over the course of the summer.
"That's probably a good thing for an offensive lineman. You don't want to be noticed too much as an offensive lineman," Philbin said, via Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post. "I think the timing on his punch is getting better, his footwork is getting better. Again his continual work, he's working hard at it he's very detailed with his preparation."
The Dolphins explored other options at left tackle before ultimately deciding to go with Martin as the protector of Ryan Tannehill's blindside. It's a decision that will weigh heavily on Miami's chances of offensive success, making it a clear positive that things have trended in the right direction over the course of the preseason.

Baseball Wins Ninth-Straight, Clinches Series
BATON ROUGE, La. - Senior first baseman Mason Katz homered twice and recorded five RBI as No. 3 LSU (14-1) defeated Washington (4-10) by a score of 8-4 Saturday night at Alex Box Stadium.
The teams meet in the series finale at 1 p.m. Sunday. The game can be heard on affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network, and live video, audio and stats are available in the Geaux Zone at www.LSUsports.net.
Saturday's performance marked the first-two homer game of Katz's career, as he helped LSU extend its win streak to nine games.
"Before he came up the last time, I told him just to go ahead and hit three home runs," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "But he didn't really get a pitch to hit in his last trip to the plate. That's the type of performance you expect from one of the senior leaders on your team, and Mason certainly sparked us tonight."
Katz's first dinger came with two outs in the first inning following a double from shortstop Alex Bregman and a walk from Rhymes, putting LSU ahead 3-0.
The Tigers jumped ahead 4-0 after right fielder Chris Sciambra came home on a wild pitch in the second inning.
Katz delivered again in the third inning, with a towering solo blast over the left field seats that gave the Tigers a 5-0 advantage.
Washington, aided by two LSU throwing errors, stormed back in the fourth inning with four runs, trimming the LSU lead to 5-4.
But the Tigers would widen the gap in the bottom of the frame, capitalizing on two Washington errors with RBI from Katz and leftfielder Raph Rhymes.
Katz went 2-for-3 on the night and recorded five RBI in a game for the second time this season.
Second baseman JaCoby Jones drew a walk in the in the seventh, stole second base and touched home plate after an RBI-single from Chris Chinea. Jones finished the game 1-for-1 with two stolen bases and three walks. Jones now has 15 free passes, already matching his career high for walks in a season.
The Tigers drew a season-high 10 walks in the contest.
LSU starter Ryan Eades (3-0) earned the victory giving up four runs and striking out six in 6.2 innings of work.
"I thought Ryan Eades was tremendous tonight," said Mainieri. "He is such a tough competitor who never gives in to the hitters. He made several key pitches tonight with his breaking ball low in the zone. Instead of leaving the ball up and giving up a two-strike hit, he kept the ball down and forced their hitters to swing and miss."
Washington starter Austin Voth (2-2) suffered the loss as he surrendered six earned runs on seven hits in 3.1 innings with five walks and three strikeouts.
LSU 8, Washington 4 (Mar 09, 2013 at Baton Rouge, La.)
Washington.......... 000 400 000 - 4 7 2 (4-10)
Pitchers: Washington - Voth, Austin; Dunlap, Trevor(4); Coats, Jacob(7); Kim, Dae Yang(8) and Guinn, Parker.

The year was 1963, New Year's Eve. Over the decades, I've brought in many new years, some of them tremendously fun, some of them awfully dull, some of them not feeling so well, and I've slept through a few of them, but none of them were healthier or happier than this one.
To be honest, I don't remember a lot of the details of our party. We likely watched Guy Lombardo on TV, and ate yummy munchies that Grandma Lill had prepared . Lill, who was behind the old brownie camera that took this picture, had a stash of little tiny hats with elastic bands to hold them on, and a box of various noisemakers - some you twirl, some you blow in, others you just shake. It was a fascinating collection, which we only saw once a year, and then, briefly. We donned our garb, and for about a minute - no more - we were allowed to make as much noise as we could with our noisemakers, and then they were collected, put back in the box, and hidden in places unknown until the next New Year's celebration.
I was nearly four years old in this picture, my brother just days away from turning two. We had an inter-generational party, with our grandparents and great-grandparents, and "warm fuzzies" like we'd never have again. We had one more year with both sets of grandparents, before my great grandfather, Will Knutz, developed stomach cancer. But on this particular year, we gathered, we loved, we celebrated, and we made memories.

Ha! I remember similar New Years Eve with my family growing up. We always would go out to dinner... regardless of the weather... I remmember braving some mighty bad snow storms! Then it was watching TV until midnight. We would toast and eat herring. Our pictures were in front of the grandfather clock when it would strike 12.ReplyDelete

First Lady and style icon Michelle Obama has come a long way from her preppy school girl look.
The White House tweeted on Thursday a photo of Michelle Obama as a fresh-faced 14-year-old in 1978. The black and white portrait shows her sporting a collared shirt under a sweater and what is perhaps her best fashion accessory: her beaming smile.
The tweet was accompanied by a link to a White House blog post about the First Lady's call to arms for young people to be the "next agents of change" as she hosted a viewing of a new documentary about civil rights leader Whitney Young.
"How are you going to be the agents of change for the next generation?" the First Lady asked. "We're counting on you all to be ready to take the helm and be the next agents of change, because there is still a lot of work to do."
The post noted Obama's personal connection to Young: She graduated from the Whitney M. Young Magnet High School in 1981. Check out the blog post to see a GIF of the First Lady through her high school years.

Reds rely on Arroyo in opener with Cubs
Veteran right-hander Bronson Arroyo aims for a third straight gem on Friday night when the Cincinnati Reds host the Chicago Cubs in the opener of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
The 36-year-old Key West, Fla. native was just 2-4 on the season after a 7-4 loss to Atlanta on May 6, but has since put together defeats of Milwaukee and Philadelphia while not allowing a single run.
He twirled 6 2/3 innings of scoreless five-hit ball in a 5-1 defeat of the Brewers on May 12, then went 7 2/3 innings and allowed another five hits in a 10-0 defeat of the Phillies on May 18.
Arroyo's earned run average has dipped from 4.30 to 3.28.
He is 11-9 in 28 career appearances against the Cubs with a 2.99 ERA across 171 2/3 innings.
Chicago goes with streaking righty Scott Feldman, who's won four straight decisions in five starts after starting the season with three losses.
The 6-foot-7 Hawaii native had an 0-3 record and a 4.50 ERA after dropping a 4-2 decision at Milwaukee on April 21, but has since trimmed the ERA to a stingy 2.19 while allowing two runs or less in five straight outings.
He tossed a complete game while beating San Diego, 6-2, on May 1, and tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings in an 8-2 defeat of the New York Mets on May 18.
Feldman has never faced the Reds.
On Thursday in Pittsburgh, Andrew McCutchen had three hits, knocked in two runs and swiped two bags as the Pirates finished off a three-game sweep of the Cubs with a 4-2 victory at PNC Park.
Chicago starter Edwin Jackson was removed after the rain delay and was charged with all four runs.
"There wasn't a whole lot of life coming out of (Jackson's) arm today," said Cubs manager Dale Sveum.
Anthony Rizzo and Ryan Sweeney provided an RBI apiece in Chicago's fourth straight loss.
Meanwhile, in New York on Wednesday, Brandon Phillips hit a tie-breaking RBI double in the top of the ninth inning, and Todd Frazier drove in two more runs later in the frame to help the Reds down the Mets, 7-4, en route to sweeping a three- game set at Citi Field.
"One run is not enough," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "Anything can happen. That was a big hit that Frazier got to give us that three-run lead."
Mets reliever Bobby Parnell (4-1) absorbed his first defeat of the season after allowing Phillips' chopping two-bagger down the first-base line. First baseman Ike Davis misplayed the ball, expecting it to land in foul territory, but it rolled past him and remained fair to allow Shin-Soo Choo to score the eventual game-winner.
Alfredo Simon (4-1) picked up the win after tossing a scoreless eighth, while Aroldis Chapman earned his 10th save of the season by tossing a perfect bottom of the ninth.
Zack Cozart went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored and Joey Votto hit a two-run homer for the Reds, who have won four of five and 10 of their last 12 games overall.
"Coming into New York and getting that third win against one of the best pitchers in the National League is not an easy task," said Votto.
The Reds have won five of six games from the Cubs so far in 2013, including a three-game sweep earlier this month at Wrigley Field.

"Calluming" is a term from the game World of Warcraft to describe the discriminating of one publicly in the middle of Dalaran, or in a random PuG over their spec, enchant, and gem choices, resulting in humiliation of that player. The term was named after a certain person named Callum, due to his regular 'calluming'.
Man, that was a calluming and a half!

Earning my J.D. has been a lofty goal of mine, and one that I hope to achieve with no regrets. I want to spend the next three years completely engrossed in building a career that will help shape my future, and maybe the future of others. But to do that, I have to make sure I can get the highest scores possible during my first year of law school. For this reason, I am announcing a hiatus.
I will try to check back on comments on this blog from time to time, but for the most part my Tumblr, LookBook, Blogger, and Facebook fan page will be relatively quiet until I have more time on my hands. Those of you who have known law students before (or were one yourself) know just how grueling this first year is, and how impossible it is going to be for me to really hold my attention in two places at once.
From time to time, I will be posting the occasional tweet or Instagram photo, so it won't be impossible to strike up a conversation with me, just a little harder. =)
Fashion is still not far from my mind though, I have been trying to wear something cute every single day of school, so every once in a while I will post a selca or a cellphone shot of my outfit for that day. I committed the greatest faux pas during my orientation though--I completely misunderstood the dress code and wore casual clothing for a business casual event... ^^; After that I was determined to make sure I looked good every day to make up for it, and I think I've been doing a pretty good job of it so far!
Thanks for all your support and lovely comments, this blog is still relatively new in my book (even though it's been a little over a year since I started updating it!), and all of your input has really helped me gain confidence and mature in preparation for law school, believe it or not. I feel like I can take on the world now!
If any of you have been considering a career in law or want to know more about higher education in general, don't be afraid to send me an e-mail at lanarosefanfan AT yahoo DOT com. I'm not an expert quite yet, but I do love to hear myself talk and help people out!

A tie is an easy way to change your outfit or look, so you can appear exactly like you want. A tie can have a central role in the look you want. A dark solid color tie is a good way to get a business look and is perfect for the office. A red patterned tie will be more colorful and give a more artistic look. But on the other hand a patterned and colorful tie can be perfect for the office is you want to stand out of the crowd.
A tie can help get attention to your outfit by being a great contrast to your suit and shirt. A blue tie to a grey suit or a red tie to a blue suit will give contrast between the suit and tie. It will draw attention and can still be either artistic or business like.
How to tie a tie
You don't have to be afraid of buying a tie, because you don't know how to tie a tie. We have made a guide to help you learn how to tie a tie. The guide helps you to a half Windsor knot and a Windsor knot, so there's no excuse in not getting a tie.

Hindu Conversions to Islam - Pakistan
A Hindu man and his child pray at a shrine within Sadhu Bela, a Hindu temple on the Indus River, Sukkur, Sindh province, Pakistan on March 23, 2012. A rise in in reports of forced conversion of Hindu girls to Islam in provinces in Pakistan has gained prominence within the political, media, religious and social domains with the case of a 21 year old woman Rinkle Kumari. On February 24, 2012 her family reported to police of Ghotki district, Sindh province that she had been abducted by armed men from the family home in the village of Mirpur Mathelo. it is then alleged by the family and broadrer hindu community that she was forced to convert to Islam and marry Syed Naveed Shah, a neighbour of the girl within their village. Complications with court hearings for the case, perceptions by the Muslim community that the police sided with the Muslim community when dealing with issue and the politicisation of the case by a Pakistan Peoples Party Member for National Assembly Mian Abdul Haq alias Mian Mitho has led to a hearing being called in the Supreme Court, Islamabad, Pakistan on March 26, 2012. The hearing will hopefully ascertain whether the girl was abducted or in fact left with Syed Naveed Shah of her own free will.Add to Lightbox Download

Just ask Denison.
One minute the Monarchs are up five points and in control of their Hawkeye 10 Conference basketball game at Glenwood last Tuesday.
Less than 20 seconds and a Grant May 19-footer later, the game is tied and headed into overtime where Glenwood scores the first eight points of the extra frame to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat in a 66-59 win before a reporter-estimated crowd of 400.

EDGE Publications Launches Miami and Fort Lauderdale Gay News and Entertainment Portals
For Immediate Release Mar 8, 2007
Miami, FL - EDGE Publications, Inc. today announced the official launch of EDGEmiami.com and EDGEftlauderdale.com, the media network's seventh and eighth major online publications.
The two new portals are devoted to serving the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender community of Southern Florida. Each portal delivers eight major channels of information to its readers, including daily news, business, weather, entertainment, health, style, sports and travel. Additional channels provide coverage of nightlife, shopping, lodging, dining, plus a local business directory and calendar of events.
The sites join a family of market-leading online publications currently serving more than 600,000 readers in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Providence, Provincetown and greater New England.
"Our expansion to South Florida is groundbreaking for EDGE," said Publisher David Foucher. "It begins our transformation from a regional network of market-leading websites to a national brand. And it proves that communities thousands of miles apart find value in leveraging that brand to learn about and communicate with each other."
Miami represents a vibrant new readership for EDGE; the company has named veteran journalist Kareem Tabsch as Editor-in-Chief for the new site.
"Miami is such an amazing city, so alive with rich Latino flavor and an eclectic gay community," said Tabsch. "It's a premiere vacation destination and a beautiful place to live. I'm really thrilled to be part of this new portal."
"Our city has a proud history of welcoming and supporting the GLBT community," remarked City of Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer, "and we are pleased that EDGE has recognized that in their new publication."
Barely an hour north, Fort Lauderdale has enjoyed a more recent popularity with gays and lesbians.
"People travel back and forth between the two cities all the time," explains Ft. Lauderdale Editor-in-Chief Lisa Cohen. "Fort Lauderdale is really becoming a major destination for the GLBT community. Here at EDGE we're really excited to grow with it."
The new publications are available at http://www.EDGEmiami.com and http://www.edgeftlauderdale.com.
EDGE is an online community destination dedicated to the delivery of local, national and world content targeted to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in a fair, entertaining and interactive format. The company publishes online in Boston MA, New York NY, Miami FL, Philadelphia PA, Fort Lauderdale FL, Providence RI and Provincetown MA. Learn more about EDGE at http://www.edgeonthenet.com.

Katie Woolridge, a member of the Cinema Arts Class of 2008, is currently working as producer Ian Bryce's assistant for Transformers 3. Bryce has produced all three Transformers movies, in addition to Spider Man, Saving Private Ryan, Speed and numerous other films.
"Ian is an incredible producer to work for," said Woolridge. "He is highly professional and extremely good at what he does. I'm constantly learning new things from him."
Her duties include managing Bryce's schedule, answering phone calls, drafting memos, and generally assisting him. In addition, she hopes to be able to continue to work with Bryce and associate producer Michelle McGonagle in the future.
Woolridge got the job after Dawn Keezer, the director of the Pittsburgh Film Office, sent her resume to Bryce and McGonagle. She had interned and freelanced with the office during her sophomore year at Point Park.
"My cinema skills have definitely been helpful while working at this job," Woolridge said. "I've used my computer skills, editing knowledge and some aspects of advanced producing."
Her best advice for students is to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that the city has to offer, particularly the films that are shot in Pittsburgh. This includes getting involved at the Pittsburgh Film Office or Nancy Mosser Casting.
"The entertainment industry is about who you know. If you can start networking and making good contacts while in college then you'll be ahead of the game when you graduate," said Woolridge.

text: Hi, So I run my own hosting company and have done for some years. I recently decided to take the decision to ditch Plesk for various reasons and give ISPConfig 3 a try. I successfully setup my own cluster of servers, 6 in total, Panel, DNS 1, DNS 2, Web, Mail, DB all running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Everything is working perfect except for my mail server which has a very peculiar problem. Everything is working fine with incoming and outgoing email except for outgoing email via Postfix to GMail accounts (I guess Hotmail and Yahoo could be similar but I am concentrating on GMail at the moment). This issue is happening with all domains, not just one inparticular. rDNS and SPF are set correctly. I have run blacklist tests and the mail server IP is clean (there is only one IP). The hostname is set correctly too. After running various tests, I have discovered the following. 1) If I setup the account as IMAP on a client such as Windows Live Mail with and without SSL turned on for outgoing mail, then any emails sent to a GMail account land in the GMail SPAM folder. 2) If I use SquirrelMail to send an email to GMail then again the email lands in the GMail SPAM folder. HOWEVER; 3) If I setup the IMAP account on an iphone with SSL turned on then the email gets delivered to the GMail Inbox as you would expect it to. 1, 2 and 3 above are all being sent from the same IP address (then sent to the postfix mail server as any normal setup) via my broadband connection (the Iphone is connected to wireless) so that cannot be the reason seeing as scenario 3 delivers the email correctly. All 6 servers are in a data centre and are not hosted within a local home network. After comparing the headers of each of the emails with scenarios 1 (With SSL on) and scenarios 2 and 3 they are exactly identical apart from the section that explains the email was sent was from an Iphone for scenario 3 and from Windows Mail for scenario 1 and SquirrelMail for scenario 3. Outgoing authentication is turned on for all scenarios as Postfix will not allowing relaying without authentication using the account username and password for the email account setup. I believe I have checked and covered everything that I can except for something that may be wrong with the PostFix configuration in some way or something I have missed. After reading many many forum posts both on this site and others I was starting to believe it was just GMail being picky as it does and having to wait over time for them to start allowing emails from the server to the Inbox rather than flagging as SPAM but when analyzing the headers the SPF passes, rDNS is set correctly and why did the Iphone mail (yes going through the same mail server as all scenarios) land in the Inbox? As you can tell I am confused to say the least and would appreciate any help in solving this so I can put my new infrastructure into production. Thank you in advance.

2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - Ready-To-Run, Part IPosted in Project Vehicles on June 11, 2007
Even with the dust of the TJ-versus-JK debate still settling on most of the Jeep Internet forums, we were itching to get our hands on a new long-term project, a two-door '07 Wrangler Rubicon. So we stole one from the local dealer and went straight into evaluation mode from Mile 1. Was it as much of a pig as people thought? Could we get the options we wanted? Will the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system keep you from having fun off-road? Is it possible to build it without the computers going nuts? And if this new Wrangler is as ready to run as we say, what really needs to be changed anyway? Read on, and stay tuned for future issues where we'll answer these and many more questions about our new Ready-To-Run Jeep Wrangler.
When choosing the particulars of our Jeep, there was no question we wanted the six-speed manual tranny. We also wanted a two-door because everyone at the time was looking to build the much larger four-door Unlimited model-plus, we didn't really need the extra doors or space for people and equipment (we were more interested in capability). We opted for the Wrangler Rubicon mostly for the more durable axles, the 4.10 gears, the rear locker, and the electronic-disconnect sway bar. The front locker was kind of a bonus, but we're still a little unsure of the 4:1-geared Rock-Trac transfer case that's standard with all Rubicon Wranglers; it's a little low for some of the wheeling we do. Rumor is that '08 models will be available with a standard 2.73:1 NV241 transfer case, a rear locker, and possibly the electronic-disconnect sway bar; this would be a dream combo for much of what we do. If your wheeling trips consist of graded dirt roads, then the Rubicon is too much Jeep for you. But, if slow-speed trail cruising and rockclimbing is your thing, then the Rubicon is the best ready-to-run vehicle available today, hands down.
Now, if you are interested in 37-inch or larger tires, swapping engines, axles, trannies, and transfer cases, then the JK may not be for you-yet. You'd likely be giving up a well-designed factory suspension, ESP, and even decent factory traction control just to have the new body style. If this is your plan, you would be financially ahead by simply starting with a TJ-at least until the used JKs are a couple years old and a few dollars cheaper.
Having grown tired of poor visibility through the scratched plastic windows of several Jeep soft tops, we opted for the Freedom Top hardtop this time around; it's way worth the $1,585 entry fee. Unfortunately, we still got the soft top, too, because the only way to get the hardtop is to get the dual-top option. The soft top has found a place in the corner of our garage.
Inside our JK, we were fished into the power windows, door locks, and security system. Are power options for pansies? Maybe, but being able to unlock and lock the doors with a key fob alone makes it worth the $585 . The security system will also likely save you some coin on insurance. Just a note for you naysayers.
The plan was to option in the MyGIG CD player/navigation head unit for an additional $1,590. It sounds like a lot, but it's really a bargain when you consider what you get for the money. It includes a CD and DVD player, full touchscreen navigation, and a 20GB hard drive that can store approximately 1,600 songs (over 100 hours of music), among other features. Unfortunately, the MyGIG radio is said to be for late availability (perhaps as late as the '08 model year). So with that option out the window, we checked the box for the single CD player with an MP3 input. It's perfect for feeding in music from iPods and other MP3 players-unfortunately, the devices have no convenient place to rest. The free one-year Sirius satellite radio subscription is also a nice perk. We'll probably eventually upgrade to the MyGIG in our Jeep at a later date when it becomes available.
All in all, our flame-red '07 Wrangler Rubicon priced out at a reasonable $29,650, plus tax and license.
There's a lot of hearsay floating around about what the new Electronic Stability Program on the JK does or doesn't do. We've heard some random, unfounded complaints about it-even from people in the industry who should know better.
The truth of the matter is that nearly all of the complaints stem from a lack of understanding the system and how it operates. ESP enhances directional control and stability of the Jeep. It corrects for over- and understeering conditions using brake actuation and reduction of throttle to help the Jeep maintain a desired path. The best way to understand it is to actually read page 108 of the '07 JK owner's manual. After that, take the Jeep out wheeling and make yourself familiar with the settings, their operation, and how each setting affects the handling of your Jeep. In some cases, you'll have to trust that the ESP is trying to save your ass, even if you think you know what you're doing behind the wheel.
The system has three settings: On, Partial On, and Off. The settings that areavailable to the driver are dependent upon what position the transfer-case shifter is in. Two-wheel drive offers On and Partial On; High-range 4x4 offers On, Partial On, and Off below 40 mph; and Low-range only offers Off.
Driving off-road with the ESP On is kinda boring and uneventful-and in some cases, you won't want it on. That's why it has a switch. But on the road, the system makes you feel pretty safe. It intervenes before something sketchy like tire spin or sliding gets started. It might actually be a neat feature if put under lock and key to keep reckless teenagers and other inexperienced drivers on a leash when they are in your Jeep.
The Partial On setting turns just about anyone willing to hammer the throttle and point the Jeep in the right direction into a professional driver. You can feel the brakes applying at individual corners to keep you straight at speeds. The system is especially good at stabilizing the nasty habit of overcorrection. This is perhaps our favorite setting for smooth, twisty dirt roads. It lets you get loose, but not too loose.
To turn the ESP all the way off, you'll need to follow the instructions in the manual. This manual override is only possible in high-range four-wheel-drive. This is the ESP and transfer case setting we'd recommend for the Rubicon models in soft, loose terrain like deep mud and sand dunes where wheel speed is a must. Non-Rubicons can run in Low range, where the ESP is already off.
New 3.8L vs. Old 4.0L
We got our greasy little mitts on a proprietary dyno chart and a few tech bits for both Jeep engines side to side. Once the 3.8L gets past break-in mode (as mentioned elsewhere in this story), it's making more power and torque than the old 4.0L for a much longer rpm range. This makes the 3.8L a much more driveable engine when mated in front of the NSG 370 six-speed manual than the 4.0L; it's kinda like comparing the new 24-valve Dodge Cummins to the older 12-valve diesel. The 3.8L is a little more civilized.

Mile 15
The manual six-speed shifter feels kinda rubbery. I often miss-shift because I'm not used to the pattern. I end up rowing from Third to Fifth and Fourth to Sixth. It sure does seem like I stall it a lot, too. The clutch is much lighter than on a TJ with an NV3550. It seems to wander, or maybe I'm just not used to the light-steering feel. The interior is extremely quiet. The JK literally stinks once it warms up. It smells like burnt car when I park. And you can smell it even from several vehicles back while on the road. It must be something burning on the exhaust.
Mile 45
Forward visibility is way better than the pervious-model Wrangler. I really like the adjustable seat height. Even though I'm just under 6 feet tall, I keep it on the lowest setting.
Mile 150
Gawd, this thing feels like it's way down on power compared to the 4.0L. It's really hard to get into the rear seats. The passenger side has the seatbelt in the way, but the seat folds up. The driver side doesn't fold up all the way, but the seatbelt is out of the way. Fortunately, the JK rear seat is much easier to fold up or completely remove than the previous-generation Wrangler's. If you plan on using the rear seat a lot, you might want to consider the four-door Unlimited model.
Mile 180
I'm beginning to think it doesn't have less power than the 4.0L. Instead, it seems like the electronic throttle won't open all that quickly when you mash the pedal. It feels like the engine is wheezing for air. Could it be the computer is working to preserve the drivetrain during the break-in period? I'm getting about 17 mpg.
Miles 200-300
The burnt-car smell has finally gone away. Jeep engineers say it's the manufacturing oil burning off of the exhaust. I think the mpg gauge is inaccurate. The real combined city and highway mileage is about 16 mpg. I'm gonna test it.
Mile 320
I had a chance to get into an '07 four-door Wrangler Unlimited with 6,000 miles on it. It's quicker than my lighter two-door JK and it gets better gas mileage! What the hell is going on here?
Miles 650-1,000
Aha! The 3.8L V-6 feels like it's beginning to come to life! The throttle response is slowly becoming much crisper, and the Jeep is noticeably quicker. Jeep engineers confirmed that the computer is learning our driving habits and that it would take 650-850 miles before the engine operates normally. What a bummer that all of the 3.8L JKs that are testdriven at the dealer will be pigs until they actually break in. The mpg gauge is overly generous by about 2 mpg. Actual combined city and highway mileage is 16.5, and the gauge reads 18.2 mpg. I've pretty much gotten use to the shift pattern and don't stall the engine anymore, either. I'm still not a fan of the rubbery-feeling shifter, especially over bumpy dirt roads. It shakes around erratically.
Mile 800
Controllable off-road compression braking (without using the brakes) while driving steep downhill at slow speeds is only achieved in First gear Low-range. Any other gear or transfer-case range will just allow the 3.8L to rev-out, and the Jeep will build speed.
Mile 3,000
First oil change. Might be nice to have a larger filter. The oil spills out onto the axlehousing when removing the filter, but it's much less messy and easier to reach than the filter on the TJ 4.0L, which spills pretty much everywhere. Why can't these things be mounted vertically?
Mile 4,180
The JK has averaged 16.5 mpg since Day 1; the best tank was 18.4 mpg, and the worst was 14.6 mpg. Driving less than 70 mph and keeping the engine around 2,750 rpm seems to net the best mileage results.

Super Hexagon Review
- Publisher: Terry Cavanagh
- Genre: Action
- Released: 31 Aug, 2012
- Size: 31.7 MB
- Price: $2.99
- Trippy and confusing elegance.
- "Just one more game" is the catchphrase of the day.
- Gaining ground in such small increments can leave a player feeling dejected after a while.
A simple yet addictive game idea with good presentation can go a long way towards greatness, and Super Hexagon definitely fits this description.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Sometimes the simplest titles can be the hardest to review. When there's depth, it can take a large paragraph or two to explain the mechanics at play, but on the opposite end, you may be clambering for anything to fill space. If it hasn't been given away yet, Super Hexagon by Terry Cavanagh of VVVVVV fame is a very simple game. One shouldn't take that as reason to overlook this title however, for we have a word for when simplicity meets quality, and that word is elegance.
At the menu screen you have a choice of difficulty between Hexagon, Hexagoner, and Hexagonest. Hexagon is the hard difficulty, it only gets tougher, and there are three unlockable modes as well for completing each of these modes (which suggests that there is an endgame to reach). Upon first loading up the game, expect to die. Expect to die often. You control a small arrow in the middle of a hexagon. Tapping and holding the left side of the screen will rotate the arrow left, and tapping and holding the right side will rotate it right. The goal is to avoid all the incoming lines and to see how long you last. After an extensive amount of time playing and improving, I managed to reach a personal best of twelve seconds in Hexagon mode. Your skill will vary, but you know how a lot of iPhone games are categorized as ad-break games because you can play them during the advertising while watching TV? Well this could be called an ad-break break game, especially in Hexagonest mode.
For as simple as the game is, the presentation is very high quality. The sharp colors and rotation of the hexagon give the gameplay a trippy kaleidoscope quality, and the chiptune music by Chipzel punctuates the experience with adrenaline pumping audio that contributes to continuously playing the game, trying to get a few seconds further.
A large part of why Super Hexagon is so addictive is how easy it is upon game over to touch the screen and try again. You start to get a handle on arrow movement and what the game will throw at you, only a few seconds later to see something new that you weren't prepared for, only to become determined to adapt to this new challenge. Throw in the curiosity of what the unlocks could contain (especially after trying the other difficulty modes) and you have a game that despite its simplistic premise and gameplay has a lot to offer, and is more than worth the value of the purchase price.
DescriptionSuper Hexagon is a minimal action game by Terry Cavanagh, with music by Chipzel.
Super Hexagon was a best of 2012 runner up for game of the year on the app store.

"Knows exactly what type of game it wants to be and executes on it spectacularly. Merciless difficulty meets brilliant design." - Gamezebo, 5/5
