This California Home is Pretty in Purple
Interior designer Kendall Wilkinson reinvents a young family's historic California home with classic style and plenty of whimsy
To fully appreciate the stunning transformation of Jessica Herrin's historic California home into a lively nest for modern-day living, it helps to know she once hosted a cocktail party in her clothes closet. That her 10-year-old's birthday celebration included a cupcake-decorating war waged in a dining room that's so storied, United States presidents have eaten in it. And that in spite of the house having been converted to a hospital during the influenza epidemic of 1918, it retains much of its original architectural integrity. "This house has a soul," Jessica says. "It spoke to me almost immediately."
A vine-covered pergola stretches over the side porch of Jessica and Chad Herrin's 1902 home in Hillsborough, California. A sensitive overhaul modernized the interiors while leaving the outside of the home—governed by strict historical regulations—largely unchanged.

Artful Entry
Built in 1902 for industrialists Daniel and Margaret Drysdale, later occupied by noted suffragette Cecilia Casserly, and later still, home to the daughter of legendary decorator Frances Adler Elkins, Hillsborough Manor, as it was christened, enjoys a rich history. None of which was in evidence the first time Jessica and her husband, Chad, laid eyes upon the place. "We pulled up and debated whether we should even go inside," Jessica recalls. "Chad was shocked at the level of disrepair. It was a wreck."
Art by Joshua Meyer, a custom-painted silk wallpaper, and a velvet-clad bench by Wilkinson offer a spirited greeting to guests.

But Jessica—an entrepreneurial visionary who, at 24, co-founded a wedding-gift registry website and later founded the social jewelry selling business Stella & Dot—is hardly averse to a challenge. "I fell in love with its property," she says. "Once I convinced Chad it wasn't total madness to take this house on, we dedicated ourselves to making it a comfortable and inviting home for our family."
A custom Cavello rug and Stark fabrics on the sofas were kept neutral while art and accent fabrics add high voltage. The chandelier is from Niermann Weeks.

Formal and Inviting
Indeed. With two young daughters, Charlie and Tatum, Jessica and Chad wanted their new home to cocoon their immediate family as easily as it would welcome large groups of nearby relatives for holiday gatherings. Not to mention daddy-daughter backyard camp-outs for an entire Brownie troop, end-of-year classroom swim parties, seated dinners for 35, and charity galas for 400.
Glimmering fabrics and lighting set a romantic mood in the dining room, frequently used for everyday family meals.

Stylish Buffet
It was a tall order for a 10,000-square-foot house that had once received dignitaries, but since had been neglected. "It was pretty decrepit," says interior designer Kendall Wilkinson, whom the couple tapped to reimagine their home. "We wanted to honor its heritage and keep its old-world charm, yet update it to feel youthful and fresh."

Her Office
And so the historic house was almost completely gutted, "brick by brick and wall by wall," Jessica says. The painstaking process—regulated by historical protections—took three years, resulting in open spaces more conducive to entertaining and abundant indoor-outdoor access among all first-floor rooms. Still, its architecture was respected, even revered. Moldings and trims were replicated, doorways embellished, and original millwork salvaged whenever possible.
Jessica's home office is clean and feminine. The neutral space is dressed up with black and brass accents.

Breakfast Room
"We have mirrors, we have Lucite, we have gold, we have platinum—it's a lot like Jessica's jewelry." In fact, the design process involved excursions to Stella & Dot's headquarters, including a study of Jessica's office, along with examinations of the company's jewelry lines. "They played a big part in how we designed things," Wilkinson says. "A lot of the furnishings feel like jewelry, and much of the color palette came from her jewelry."
Wilkinson added a hint of contrasting color to the palette with artwork by Paule Marrot from Natural Curiosities. A "Flower Drop" chandelier from Ruby Living hangs above a custom white oak, wire-brushed pedestal table from Las Palmas Collection. The crumb-proof ikat chair fabric is from Kravet.

Colorful Family Room
That neutral palette is subtly punctuated by all manner of plums. Ranging from aubergine to lavender, orchid, and raspberry, they wash over rooms that, upon close inspection, reveal tonal surprise. "I was attracted to things that felt youthful, as a counterpoint to an otherwise mature home," Jessica says. She also notes the versatility of that approach. "Maybe one day you'll walk in and the family room will be blue," she laughs. "Our intention was to make the furnishings neutral, and then layer color in minimally on draperies or chair fabrics."

Classic Mantel
Largely textural, featuring an occasional statement-making print or pattern, upholstered furnishings accommodate Cheetos-eating children and the family's Goldendoodle with nary a shrug. "To me, a home is meant to be lived in," Jessica says. "I care more about people connecting in my home than I care about the carpet." She admits her daughters don't eat pizza in the living room, but points out the family room sofa—a deep, sprawling invitation to nap, snuggle, and yes, eat—is covered in fabric dark enough to secret spills and muddy paw prints. "You want things to be inviting," Wilkinson says, "but you don't want to police people about whether their glass forms a ring on the tabletop. Everything in this house will stand up to wear and tear."
The classic carved mantel is paired with pops of color and pattern in the Donghia suzani-clad armchairs and a custom sofa.
Dramatic Library
That includes the library—scene of Chad's card games with friends, but also where the girls enjoy playing games of their own. The most well-preserved room in the house, its original casework is painted high-gloss black to confer unabashedly dramatic style.
Located off the living room, the masculine library boasts floor-to-ceiling built-ins original to the house. A. Rudin swivel chairs and a Rug Company rug play with pattern—anchored by an ebonized oak game table by Kendall Wilkinson Design. The chandelier is from Remains Lighting.

5-15-10 Great American Ballpark
This would be the second most crowded game that I have ever attended. The attendance of this game was 41,326. The most packed game I ever attended was last year at Citizen's Bank Park when a Reds vs Phillies match up drew 41,538. At that game, I only managed to snag two balls. Would today be different? I was hoping so, since Cincinnati opens its gates 30 minutes early to season ticket holders.
I stayed there for several minutes, but got tired of watching a few balls sail into the lower level seats. I ended up moving all over the place for the rest of batting practice, but it would never lead to any more baseballs.
Batting practice also ended early, as there would be lengthy on field ceremonies to honor Negro League Baseball players and African American ballplayers' contributions to the Civil Rights movement.
By the way, about that ball in center… It seemed to be a bit too far out to throw my glove out and nudge it closer, plus there was a security guard right there. After batting practice, when he went to get the baseballs that landed in the bat
ters eye, I was going to ask him for one, but I heard him tell another fan, "If I have to give one to you, I have to give one to everyone."
Apparently, the Civil Rights game is a huge event. I didn't know this. Had I been aware of the competition I would face, I would've headed to Baltimore to see the Indians there.
Some more pictures:

Tonight's game would be broadcast on the MLB Network:
A seemingly never ending stream of inner city baseball little league teams circled around the stadium on the warning track:
And continued to the concourse ( and out of the stadium ).
Steam boat wheel:
The game wouldn't start until about 7:45 PM due to the lengthy on field ceremonies. Had I stayed at the game, I wouldn't have gotten home until after 3AM.
I left the stadium before the game began.
Here are today's baseballs:

The very name of this era has overpowered all of Western art music. "Classical" has come to mean everything in music from Josquin to Messiaen, and a thousand composers between. In fact, the Classical era in music was relatively brief, had at least in retrospect a specific body of characteristics, and served as spiritual and stylistic home to three of the greatest composers of all time: Haydn, Mozart, and the young Beethoven. The convenient starting date of 1750 belongs, of course, to the death of JS Bach. The equally convenient closing date of 1810 centers around Beethoven and the premiere of his radical Symphony No. 5 in 1808.
It was also a period of fervent intellectual endeavor, political upheaval, and scientific and technological triumph. Personal and court fortune replaced the church as patron of the arts, and a few composers were actually making careers as freelancers, beholden to no one. Across most of his life, Haydn was very nearly an indentured servant. Beethoven would owefealty to no person.
This was an age of Enlightenment and science and world-shaking invention. Benjamin Franklin began his own experiments with electricity in 1751; Kant lived from 1724-1804, and influenced generations, as did Goethe from 1749-1832. In 1769 Watt patented his steam engine, across his life of 1769-1821 Napoleon re-made Europe, and in 1770 New York heard its first performance of Messiah. A year later the First Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was published, in 1774 oxygen was discovered, and in 1776 came the Declaration of Independence. The steamboat was invented in 1788, and a year later came the first stirrings of the French Revolution. Louis XVI would lose his head in 1793, the Paris Conservatory would be founded in 1795, and in 1799 Beethoven wrote his first symphony. And from 1756-1791 Mozart walked the earth.
As with the Baroque and Rococco, so too was the Classical Era first defined in architectural and aesthetic terms. After the Baroque and its successor movements had gone as far as possible, and nearly imploded in consequence, we see in the Classical a cleansing, a simplification, a reordering.
Geopolitics also played a role. In the German-speaking world, and at Vienna in particular, we find an astonishing commitment to the new music of the day. Rivalries existed between major and lesser courts for the rights of premiere, the claim to a famous composer, the vitality of a great orchestra and greater opera house. Patrons actually quarreled over the right to commission new music. (How incredible this sounds in our own conservative and backward-looking times.) After the birth of new music, publishing houses then bid (or bribed) for the right of first publication.
But there was more: In the Baroque and preceding eras, music tended to serve descriptive and narrative functions. With the rise of the Classical, music began to tend toward the abstract, a pleasure in formality, a sense of intrinsic and absolute design and content. Although the great bulk of music was still written for purposes of entertainment at court and community functions, much was written for deeper reasons. A sophisticated, maturing audience was rising and the greatest of the Classical composers found their ear.
We will examine the primacy of key, tonality, the uses of the tri-tone, and the place of Topic in all this music. We shall see an increasingly elaborate musical notation: dynamics, phrase, tempo and character now began to be marked in manuscript and the published scores and part-sets that followed. Not only were these issues of increasing theoretical importance to composers, they also represented an important fact on the ground: With the widespread dissemination of printed music, a composer could now expect performance one thousand miles from home, given by complete strangers unfamiliar with his means and purposes. A higher level of codification was now required, and provided.
We will also examine the rise of Sonata-form, the Sonata itself, Haydn's invention of the string quartet and the symphony, and the changing house of opera - most particularly in the work of Mozart.
The composers of the Classical era are, of course, extremely well-known to 21st century listeners. Rather than dwell too long on the obvious, let me recommend instead wonderful music that may not yet be in one's grove of chestnuts. Consider, for example, listening to the earliest symphonies of Haydn (Morning, Noon, and Night are good starters), thepiano sonata No. 1 of KPE Bach, or the overture to Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. Listen to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th symphonies of Beethoven after you have listened to any of the last twelve of Haydn. Consider also the later keyboard works of Sammartini (1701-1755), or any of the seventy-five symphonies by JWA Stamitz (1717-1757). This neglected figure created the Mannheim school and its astounding orchestra, and that ensemble influenced every composer who heard it, including Mozart.
And finally to Mozart himself: I once conducted a concert in which we played the 1st and the 41st symphonies. In this way could we trace the trajectory of this immortal, first to last. Although Mozart considered himself a composer of opera above all, any of his symphonies (except No. 37, which he wrote virtually none of-Michael Haydn actually composed it) is worth study. So too are any of his concerti. If you don't already know them, go today to his concerto for clarinet, and for bassoon. They are miracles of conception, art, and most musical speech.
There are many important books written by and about Classical theory and theorists. Such authors as Quantz, Gluck, KPE Bach, Leopold Mozart and Dr Charles Burney are vital prime sources. In our own time, I would like to recommend two in particular: The first is by Stanford's Leonard Ratner, and is a "classic" in its own right:
Ratner, Leonard
Classic Music -- Expression, Form, and Style
New York: Schirmer Books, 1985
The second is another worthy:
Rosen, Charles
The Classical Style
New York: Viking, 1971

San Francisco, CA 94102
Mon - Fri: 10am - 6pm

Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2017 Will Be Announced Live on Oct 3
This is the first time that Michelin is holding a live ceremony in the UK ever.
Circle your calendars, UK-bound diners. The latest stars for the 2017 Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland will be given out at a live presentation ceremony on October 3 this year.
This is the first time that Michelin is holding a live ceremony in the UK ever since the 115-year-old dining guide started publishing an edition for the British Isles in 1911.
Last year's guidebooks were released in bookstores in September and contained 15 new one-starred restaurants, two new two-starred restaurants and no new three-starred restaurants. The Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland now recommends more than 3,300 places to eat and sleep, including restaurants and pubs awarded Michelin stars for the quality of their food.
"We're very excited about this inaugural event and I'm very much looking forward to celebrating with so many talented people," wrote Michael Ellis, the International Director of the Michelin Guides on the Michelin UK website.
"The guide has existed for over 100 years and, if anything, it is even more relevant today because it is independent and it is consistent – which is why the Michelin star is seen as a benchmark across the world."
The announcement will take place at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) at Savoy Place in London - a venue chosen in homage to Michelin's historic motoring background - and the invite-only event is expected to attract top level chefs and the most prestigious names within the restaurant industry.
Mr Ellis added: "The IET is home to the Institution of Engineering and Technology, whose members have been at the forefront of innovation for more than a century. We felt that was a great fit with Michelin, which also has a proud history of innovation – in both tyre manufacturing and the food world."
Earlier in July, the first edition of the Michelin Guide Singapore was revealed at the Michelin's firstawards ceremony-cum-gala dinner at Resorts World Sentosa, along with a fully searchable digital guide and a gourmet lifestyle editorial platform developed and run together with Robert Parker Wine Advocate.
Inaugural Michelin red guides to Shanghai and Seoul will launch later this year, marking the Michelin Guide's 27th and 28th global territory of coverage, along with the 2017 Guide to Hong Kong and Macau in November.

Boston's Citizens Connect app bridges gap between city, residents
Bill Oates, CIO of the city of Boston, Mass., is bridging the gap between citizens and government agencies with a citywide mobile collaboration effort that residents can access via their smartphones.
In this video interview, filmed at the 2012 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in Cambridge, Mass., Oates sits down with SearchCIO.com Executive Editor Christina Torode to discuss Boston's Citizens Connect application, and explain why 140 other cities plan to replicate the city's mobile and Web-based efforts.
Read a partial transcript from the interview below, and watch the video to learn more about Boston's Citizens Connect program. Don't forget to watch the second part of our interview with Oates.
What is Citizens Connect? How is technology making that happen?
Bill Oates: Citizens Connect is our first attempt to create an innovative way to connect with the constituents of the city of Boston. We had spent some really good time and effort building some really good technology platforms in the city, and we really wanted to find a new way to reach out and really touch the constituents. The mayor of Boston [Thomas M. Menino] is really all about the neighborhoods, the kids and the families. We pitched this to him and said, 'Mayor, we think this is a really cost-effective way that really takes advantage of the technology trends today.'
You think about the consumerization of technology, and the fact that many of our constituents have great technology in their hands now with their smartphones. We went out and developed what we thought was a great app, and used a lot of user feedback because we wanted to make it work just right. What this app allows people to do is essentially connect with their city government. So, whether there is a streetlight out in your neighborhood or a pothole that needs to be filled, Citizens Connect is the app that takes that request and doesn't bring it to some standalone PC somewhere -- it brings it right to those folks that are delivering the service.
We had an overwhelmingly positive response to this around the city. We first did it in 2009. We are now on our third iteration of the project, and it has become an essential piece to how people connect to the city. Right now, 20% of the service requests that come into the city are coming through this mobile channel. So, not only have we reached out and found a new way to connect with the citizens, [but] we have also created a really low-cost channel to allow them to do that. It's been great, and now we get all the data generated from those requests as well.
Citizens Connect opened the door to the city that showed us what we can do with technology, and in very innovative ways. So what we did with Citizens Connect, in connecting [residents] with their basic services -- we now do in lots of places: in the education space, in the administration and finance space, in public works, public safety [spaces]. It has been really fun to watch this new culture of innovation take hold in the city.

Simon Gerrans Wins Stage One of Santos Tour Down UnderTue 21 Jan 2014
Two-time former champion Simon Gerrans signalled his intentions early at the Santos Tour Down Under, taking a dominant sprint win and the Ochre leader's jersey on stage one into Angaston. Gerrans narrowly edged out André Greipel (Lotto Belisol) and Steele von Hoff (Garmin-Sharp), from a 70-man bunch reduced by the challenging Menglers Hill that came with 12 kilometres to go.
"It was a bigger group than I expected to make it to the finish today," said Sport Director Matt White. "I didn't think Greipel would get there- he was the only pure sprinter who really made it. Most people wouldn't bet on Gerro taking out Greipel in a sprint, but it was a hard run in to the line. It was quite deceptive and a real grind of a sprint. Gerro got there fresher than André, and he was dropped off very, very well by Impey and Matthews. If the right circumstances come about, Simon is very hard to beat."
Gerrans continues his dream start to the season, taking his first WorldTour victory of 2014 just one week after he took the Australian National Road Race Championship in Buninyong, and admitted to being surprised to take the sprint win over Greipel.
"I didn't imagine I'd be able to come past Greipel until the very end," said Gerrans. "But in the final two kilometres all of the Lotto guys were looking tired and had been working hard and I thought maybe Greipel wouldn't be able to do his normal sprint. So I took his wheel in the sprint, and it was only in the last 100 metres that I felt confident I would be able to come past him."
Earlier in the 135 kilometre stage through the Barossa, Gerrans made his overall ambitions clear by targeting time bonuses in the intermediate sprint. He took a one second bonus for third place, with Will Clarke (Drapac) and Neil van der Ploeg (UniSA) scooping up the major sprint points from the break.
"Two years ago, we won on a count-back here," continued White. "Seconds matter, and even those little time bonuses make a big difference to the overall at the end of the week. So if we take time bonuses when we can, it all adds up, and we're obviously off to a great start already."
Gerrans is a two-time winner of this event. In his first overall victory, he took out the first stage and wore the leader's jersey from start to finish of the six day-long stage race. Despite the added pressure on the team to defend the jersey, White remains confident in Gerrans's ability to take out the overall.
"We assumed a degree of responsibility to ride and control today, even though no one had the jersey yet," said White. "It's a short tour and we've come here with a team of guys that can control the race until the end."
Gerrans echoed those sentiments, reiterating that the strong team around him has come prepared to race hard for the overall and will now face a tough week defending the lead.
"Taking the jersey so early on has put a heck of a lot of pressure on the whole team here," said Gerrans. "Already leading into the race everyone knew that we were really keen to win here and I'm obviously coming off the back of the Australian championships in good shape, and now I've probably just confirmed that for everybody. So we've got a big task in front of us to defend the jersey from here on."
With ORICA-GreenEDGE playing a predictably large part in the way the race unfolded today, Gerrans thanked his teammates for their work in delivering him to the line.
"The guys worked really well for me today," added Gerrans. "Everybody knew what their roles were throughout the stage and it's really nice to finish it off when everyone has done their job perfectly. Durbo did a fantastic job riding the front, Matty Hayman looked after me the entire stage and then having Bling [Michael Matthews], Daryl and Clarkey there to take me into the final 200 metres was brilliant, so my win today was just finishing off some fantastic teamwork and I'm really pleased."

From a new direction
RAY ELLIOTT '00 may be the nation's first and only gay, African American man to lead a lesbian choir. This fall, Elliott brought his energetic directing style to the Portland Lesbian Choir at its members' request. The 20-year-old choir had struggled without a conductor during the past year.
"At the first rehearsal, some singers were a little unsure about working with a man," says Elliot, "but midway into rehearsal everybody relaxed and it went really well."
Eliott, the founder and director of Confluence, a gay and lesbian chorus based in Salem, directs a Unitarian church choir in Corvallis and has conducted choirs at Chemeketa Community College. His PSU degree is in music education.
"We have singers from all levels," says Elliott. "For some, it's their first time in a choir, and they learn everything by ear. Others can sight read very well. The choir members need to memorize the music and that's challenging for some."
The 22-member ensemble, which is open to all women, will present a 20th Anniversary Concert on June 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bridgeport United Church of Christ, 621 NE 76th Ave. For more about the Portland Lesbian Choir, visit www.plchoir.org.
On campus
A measure of complexity
Ken Selden, the new music director of the PSU Symphony Orchestra, has set the bar high for its members. They perform a concert of technically demanding music every month. Maybe that's why this audition-based ensemble has only one member who's not a music major.
"I want this orchestra to have the best qualities of a youth orchestra—enthusiasm, energy and youthful intensity," says Selden, "and have the maturity of a professional orchestra."
With a doctorate from the Peabody Conservatory and experience over the past five years conducting ensembles such as the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the Eos Orchestra, Selden knows and appreciates challenging music. In its final concert of the season, the orchestra will perform works by Silvestre Revueltas, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Felix Mendelssohn. PSU concerto competition winner Eric Allen will play Shostakovich's virtuosic Cello Concerto.
The PSU Symphony Orchestra plays its final concert on June 8 at 8 p.m. in Lincoln Performance Hall, room 175. Tickets, priced $6 to $10, are available at the door.
Teacup to success
WHEN TEDDE MCMILLEN '95 launched Oregon Chai, she was close to finishing her studies at Portland State. At 48 years old and the mother of two, McMillen was a master at meeting the demands of family, coursework, and customers. This ability undoubtedly helped her make Oregon Chai an incredibly successful business, a business that she and her partners sold in 2004 for $75 million.
"I was busy, but I loved it," says McMillen. "I would go to class in the morning, then make chai afterwards, deliver it to customers, and study in the evening. I even made the dean's list!"
In her new book, Nirvana in a Cup, McMillen tells about her adventures and misadventures creating Oregon Chai. It all started after her daughter, Heather, discovered the delicious drink while hiking in the Himalayas and then persuaded her mother to help her make it a commercial product.
McMillen immediately drew on PSU as a resource.
"I took as many business classes as I could without becoming a business major," explains McMillen. "I did a whole business plan and brought samples of Oregon Chai to class for taste testing. I learned about putting together employee task descriptions and procedures. It was great!"
Of course, McMillen and the company experienced several missteps, such as choosing a low-grade honey that ruined 200 gallons of chai.
"The chai had gone from a beautiful mahogany brown to a greenish black," recalls McMillen. "It tasted awful. But we didn't know that until we had bottled it all up."
Recently McMillen has written an e-book, "How to Take Your Food Product to Market," that provides easy-to-follow instructions for anyone who wants to explore the possibility of following in her footsteps. See www.nirvanainacup.com for more information.

The next menu is used to determine the method for allocating disk space.
Guided partitioning automatically sets up
the disk partitions,
Manual partitioning
allows advanced users to create customized partitions from menu
options, and
Shell opens a shell prompt where
advanced users can create customized partitions using
command-line utilities like gpart(8), fdisk(8), and
ZFS partitioning, only
available in FreeBSD 10 and later, creates an optionally encrypted
root-on-ZFS system with support for boot
This section describes what to consider when laying out the disk partitions. It then demonstrates how to use the different partitioning methods.
When laying out file systems, remember that hard drives
transfer data faster from the outer tracks to the inner.
Thus, smaller and heavier-accessed file systems should be
closer to the outside of the drive, while larger partitions
/usr should be placed toward the
inner parts of the disk. It is a good idea to create
partitions in an order similar to:
/var, and
The size of the
/var partition
reflects the intended machine's usage. This partition is
used to hold mailboxes, log files, and printer spools.
Mailboxes and log files can grow to unexpected sizes
depending on the number of users and how long log files are
kept. On average, most users rarely need more than about a
gigabyte of free disk space in
Sometimes, a lot of disk space is required in
/var/tmp. When new software is
installed, the packaging tools extract a temporary copy of
the packages under
/var/tmp. Large
software packages, like Firefox,
Apache OpenOffice or
LibreOffice may be tricky to
install if there is not enough disk space under
/usr partition holds many of the
files which support the system, including the FreeBSD Ports
Collection and system source code. At least 2 gigabytes of
space is recommended for this partition.
When selecting partition sizes, keep the space requirements in mind. Running out of space in one partition while barely using another can be a hassle.
As a rule of thumb, the swap partition should be about double the size of physical memory (RAM). Systems with minimal RAM may perform better with more swap. Configuring too little swap can lead to inefficiencies in the VM page scanning code and might create issues later if more memory is added.
On larger systems with multiple SCSI disks or multiple IDE disks operating on different controllers, it is recommended that swap be configured on each drive, up to four drives. The swap partitions should be approximately the same size. The kernel can handle arbitrary sizes but internal data structures scale to 4 times the largest swap partition. Keeping the swap partitions near the same size will allow the kernel to optimally stripe swap space across disks. Large swap sizes are fine, even if swap is not used much. It might be easier to recover from a runaway program before being forced to reboot.
By properly partitioning a system, fragmentation
introduced in the smaller write heavy partitions will not
bleed over into the mostly read partitions. Keeping the
write loaded partitions closer to the disk's edge will
increase I/O performance in the
partitions where it occurs the most. While
I/O performance in the larger partitions
may be needed, shifting them more toward the edge of the disk
will not lead to a significant performance improvement over
/var to the edge.
When this method is selected, a menu will display the available disk(s). If multiple disks are connected, choose the one where FreeBSD is to be installed.
Once the disk is selected, the next menu prompts to install to either the entire disk or to create a partition using free space. Ifis chosen, a general partition layout filling the whole disk is automatically created. Selecting creates a partition layout from the unused space on the disk.
After the partition layout has been created, review it to ensure it meets the needs of the installation. Selectingwill reset the partitions to their original values and pressing will recreate the automatic FreeBSD partitions. Partitions can also be manually created, modified, or deleted. When the partitioning is correct, select to continue with the installation.
Selecting this method opens the partition editor:

of available partition schemes:
GPT is usually the most appropriate choice for amd64 computers. Older computers that are not compatible with GPT should use MBR. The other partition schemes are generally used for uncommon or older computers.
|Apple Partition Map, used by PowerPC®.
|BSD label without an MBR, sometimes called dangerously dedicated mode as non-BSD disk utilities may not recognize it.
|GUID Partition Table (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table).
|Master Boot Record (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record).
|MBR variant used by NEC PC-98 computers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pc9801).
|Volume Table Of Contents used by Sun SPARC64 and UltraSPARC computers.
After the partitioning scheme has been selected and created, select Tab key is used to move the cursor between fields.again to create the partitions. The
A standard FreeBSD GPT installation uses at least three partitions:
freebsd-boot - Holds the FreeBSD boot
freebsd-ufs - A FreeBSD
UFS file system.
freebsd-swap - FreeBSD swap
Another partition type worth noting is
freebsd-zfs, used for partitions that will
contain a FreeBSD ZFS file system (Chapter 19, The Z File System (ZFS)). Refer to gpart(8) for
descriptions of the available GPT partition
Multiple file system partitions can be created and some
people prefer a traditional layout with separate partitions
/tmp, and
/usr. See
Example 2.1, "Creating Traditional Split File System
Partitions" for an
Size may be entered with common
abbreviations: K for kilobytes,
M for megabytes, or
G for gigabytes.
Proper sector alignment provides the best performance, and making partition sizes even multiples of 4K bytes helps to ensure alignment on drives with either 512-byte or 4K-byte sectors. Generally, using partition sizes that are even multiples of 1M or 1G is the easiest way to make sure every partition starts at an even multiple of 4K. There is one exception: the freebsd-boot partition should be no larger than 512K due to current boot code limitations.
Mountpoint is needed if the partition
will contain a file system. If only a single
UFS partition will be created, the
mountpoint should be
Label is a name by which the
partition will be known. Drive names or numbers can change if
the drive is connected to a different controller or port, but
the partition label does not change. Referring to labels
instead of drive names and partition numbers in files like
/etc/fstab makes the system more tolerant
to hardware changes. GPT labels appear in
/dev/gpt/ when a disk is attached. Other
partitioning schemes have different label capabilities and
their labels appear in different directories in
Use a unique label on every partition to avoid
conflicts from identical labels. A few letters from the
computer's name, use, or location can be added to the label.
For instance, use
labroot or
rootfslab for the UFS
root partition on the computer named
For a traditional partition layout where the
/tmp, and

label values as described above.

After the custom partitions have been created, selectto continue with the installation.
Support for automatic creation of root-on-ZFS
installations was added in FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE. This
partitioning mode only works with whole disks and will erase
the contents of the entire disk. The installer will
automatically create partitions aligned to 4k boundaries and
force ZFS to use 4k sectors. This is safe
even with 512 byte sector disks, and has the added benefit of
ensuring that pools created on 512 byte disks will be able to
have 4k sector disks added in the future, either as additional
storage space or as replacements for failed disks. The
installer can also optionally employ GELI
disk encryption as described in Section 17.12.2, "Disk Encryption with
If encryption is enabled, a 2 GB unencrypted boot pool
containing the
/boot directory is
created. It holds the kernel and other files necessary to
boot the system. A swap partition of a user selectable size
is also created, and all remaining space is used for the
ZFS pool.
The main ZFS configuration menu offers a number of options to control the creation of the pool.
Select T to configure the
Type and the disk(s) that will constitute the
pool. The automatic ZFS installer
currently only supports the creation of a single top level
vdev, except in stripe mode. To create more complex pools,
use the instructions in Section 2.6.5, "Shell Mode Partitioning" to create the pool. The
installer supports the creation of various pool types,
including stripe (not recommended, no redundancy), mirror
(best performance, least usable space), and RAID-Z 1, 2, and 3
(with the capability to withstand the concurrent failure of 1,
2, and 3 disks, respectively). While selecting the pool type,
a tooltip is displayed across the bottom of the screen with
advice about the number of required disks, and in the case of
RAID-Z, the optimal number of disks for each
Once a
Pool Type has been selected, a
list of available disks is displayed, and the user is prompted
to select one or more disks to make up the pool. The
configuration is then validated, to ensure enough disks are
selected. If not, select to return to the list of disks, or
to change the pool
If one or more disks are missing from the list, or if disks were attached after the installer was started, selectto repopulate the list of available disks. To avoid accidentally erasing the wrong disk, the menu can be used to inspect each disk, including its partition table and various other information such as the device model number and serial number, if available.
The main ZFS configuration menu also allows the user to enter a pool name, disable forcing 4k sectors, enable or disable encryption, switch between GPT (recommended) and MBR partition table types, and select the amount of swap space. Once all options have been set to the desired values, select theoption at the top of the menu.
If GELI disk encryption was enabled, the installer will prompt twice for the passphrase to be used to encrypt the disks.
The installer then offers a last chance to cancel before the contents of the selected drives are destroyed to create the ZFS pool.
The installation then proceeds normally.
When creating advanced installations, the
bsdinstall partitioning menus may
not provide the level of flexibility required. Advanced users
can select the option from the
partitioning menu in order to manually partition the drives,
create the file system(s), populate
/tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab, and mount the
file systems under
/mnt. Once this is
done, type
exit to return to
bsdinstall and continue the

Tropical Depression 9 formed over the far eastern Atlantic on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
As of 5 p.m., the storm's maximum sustained winds were at 30 miles per hour. The storm, located about 275 miles east-southeast of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands, was moving west at 10 miles per hour.
The same general motion is expected through late Monday, with a turn toward the west-northwest by Tuesday, the NHC said.
A tropical storm warning was issued for the southern Cape Verde Islands of Maio, Santiago, Fogo and Brava. Tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the area in the next 24 to 36 hours.
Rains could reach 12-inches and could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides in the area.
The storm is not expected to impact South Florida.

My reaction to receiving the "The Ultimate Yogi" 12-disc set in the mail was "Wow, this is a serious box of yoga DVDs!" The professional production of this whole package is impressive, as is its intention to be a comprehensive yoga program including yogic breathing, meditation, diet, and lifestyle recommendations. The videos are gorgeous and were shot with an experienced crew on a beautiful film studio set in Bulgaria.
This DVD set is intended to be a 108 day program using the enclosed fold out calendar as a guide. However, you could easily take your own approach to the pace, order, and schedule of moving through videos. I would recommend a slower approach for beginners since the calendar guide starts you off rather intensely (you aren't scheduled do the gentle yoga practice until day 34!).
Travis Eliot's yoga instruction is encouraging, fun, motivating, and pertinent. He has an obvious Bryan Kest influence, and while most of the videos are of a power yoga style, Travis is equally skillful at instructing the slower paced gentle and yin yoga videos.

Although the majority of classes on the 12-Disc set are power yoga flow based classes, there is quite a wide variety of classes to choose from: cardio, strength, balance, cross training, flexibility, vitality, detox, sun salutations and six specialty classes (gentle, yin, core, mountain pose flow, meditation, pranayama). While the whole set retails at $108, at only $9 per DVD, this is quite a steal for the quality of instruction you receive. Considering that it will take you much longer than 108 days to get bored with the diversity and breadth of content, this set is a great long term investment in your yoga practice.
Naturally, there are a couple of caveats: Some parts of the set are overly dramatic (particularly the Indiana Jones-ish intro film). The marketing language is immodest and overly hyped, and Eliot's fun and lighthearted rhymed instruction can get tiresome. Otherwise this is an awesome, very inspiring, and valuable yoga DVD set that I'd highly recommend for experienced yogis.

Paladin project: avoid this jerk, Limash of Misha
If any of you, dear readers, happen to encounter this douchebag named Limash of the realm Misha, a blood elf priest (currently level 24), do yourselves a favor and put him on ignore.
Tonight, on a random dungeon run in Razorfen Kraul, not 5 minutes into the instance, he ran ahead of the group while I was engaged with a couple of mobs, shielded himself and deliberately pulled 2-3 groups of mobs onto the group, then promptly left the party. We wiped, of course. The reason for this douchebaggery? Unknown. I guess some people are just like that.

7 comments:
Wow. Well this toon is 14 months old and is only level 24, so he is either extremely casual or, more than likely, this is a throwaway alt toon. No heirlooms indicates he either doesn't have an 80 or doesn't care enough about this toon to bother. He's in a huge guild - 461 members - so he could be anyone.
Did you find another healer?

I stopped tanking on my pally because of stupid crap like that. Damm the insta que. I'm at 34 now so I may respec into prot and just go for it. Was really waiting for dual spec, but probably shouldn't bother.

I see that about once a month. Someone get's a heroic that they really didn't want, so they try to wipe the group.
- March 25, 2010 at 11:43 AM
- Redbeard said...
Typically when I see someone get a heroic they don't want, they just up and split before anything happens.
That's being an asshat at a high level.
Although the time I got pulled into Pit of Saron and the tank wanted me to rez a guy who was right underneath Garfrost had me shaking my head. I mean, are you nuts? I'd just wipe in three seconds max.
- March 25, 2010 at 3:19 PM
- Darth Solo said...
It hasn't happened in a heroic yet... in fact it hasn't happened before though I've heard stories.
Thing is, he wasn't even the healer, he had signed up as DPS though he had a "healing" spec.
- March 25, 2010 at 7:24 PM
As I'm leveling a new character, I experienced many times that situation. Never on my level 80s, though. I finally found out why would someone be such a jerk: easy travel.
At lower levels, getting from point A to point B can be long and tedious. By example, you are level 18ish and are in Darnassus. You want to go to Ratchet (for whatever reason). You queue for the Wailing Caverns.
You get the idea? To queue for a dungeon located near your desired destination. Once inside the instance, wipe the group (or at least yourself) and resurrect at the Spirit Healer outside. Voila. You are now near the Crossroads and a 5 mins run to Ratchet.
It is a douchebag move for sure and I expect more and more people doing it.
- April 6, 2010 at 7:47 AM
- Darth Solo said...
Aha! That makes a lot of sense now that you mention it. Never thought of it that way. On the other hand that idiot didn't seem to be a very knowledgeable player from his talent setup.

Sony Pictures Imageworks and Sony Pictures Animation: SIGGRAPH 2008
Companies Highlight Animation and Visual Effects Projects, Expanded Academic Program, and a Stan Winston Tribute at The Nokia Theater
CULVER CITY, CA – August 8, 2008 - Sony Pictures Imageworks, the Academy Award® winning, state-of-the-art digital production studio, and Sony Pictures Animation, producer of feature length CGI motion pictures, will have a comprehensive presentation during SIGGRAPH 2008, the 35th International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. In addition to the more than 15 presentations in the conference program and on the show floor, the companies will highlight current and upcoming projects, their recently expanded IPAX academic program, and will host a special tribute to Stan Winston to be held at the Nokia Theater on Wednesday, August 13th.
In addition, Imageworks staff members have been very active behind the scenes at Siggraph 2008. Academy Award® winning visual effects supervisor Kevin Mack created the Opening Sequence for this year's Computer Animation Festival this year as well as the Welcome Animation at the entry of the Art Gallery. The Festival Opening, an abstract 3D short that will play at the beginning of each screening, employs Mack's unique digital fine art style. Rob Engle, senior stereographer and digital effects supervisor, is the curator for the two days of stereoscopic sessions. Sande Scoredos, Imageworks' executive director of training and artist development, will serve as the Computer Animation Festival's curated chair and is overseeing the studio hosted evenings and various invited works, and Carlye Archibeque, asset management administrator, produced the Computer Animation Festival and supervised all production aspects.
"Our commitment to the SIGGRAPH community and its artistic, academic and technical roots is exemplified by the diversity and scope of our participation throughout this year's conference," said Tim Sarnoff, president of Sony Pictures Imageworks.
The companies' booth, located at South Hall #701, will feature the companies' body of work ranging from spectacular visual effects to all CG animation. Imageworks and Sony Pictures Animation currently have in production and/or development the action thriller EAGLE EYE for DreamWorks Pictures, the dramatic thriller BODY OF LIES for Warner Bros. Pictures, the mystery adventure WATCHMEN, also for Warner Bros. Pictures, the family adventure G-FORCE, a Jerry Bruckheimer Production for Walt Disney Pictures, and Sony Pictures Animation's CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS and THE SMURFS, to be released by Columbia Pictures.
During the show, scholars, faculty, and administrators from the 18 IPAX schools will gather for the IPAX annual membership meeting. The IPAX program was created in 2004 to connect faculty from leading academic institutions with industry professionals to guide curricula in an effort to further develop future talented individuals who will contribute to the overall growth of the visual effects and animation industry. IPAX is a program designed to share, extend and expand the Imageworks and Sony Pictures Animation knowledge base by providing fellowships to teaching faculty of IPAX member schools, attend in-house training programs, and participate in a working production environment on-site at Imageworks and Sony Pictures Animation. IPAX fellows return to the classroom with real-world production experience and the ability to identify, inspire and recommend future talent for our industry.
This year, seven new educational institutions have been accepted into the IPAX program, and include, for the first time, two international institutions:
•Brigham Young University
•California State University Northridge
•Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg
•Linköpings Universitet
•New York University
•School of Visual Arts
•Texas A&M University
These new schools join Animation Mentor, Carnegie Mellon University, DePaul University, Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Otis College of Art and Design, Pratt Institute, Ringling College of Art + Design, Stanford University, University of New Mexico and University of Southern California Arts in the growing IPAX program.
Sony Pictures Imageworks is honored to present an industry tribute to Stan Winston at the Nokia Theater on Wednesday, August 13th at 8 p.m. Director James Cameron is set to conclude the tribute with a discussion of Academy Award® winning TERMINATOR 2 and a digital screening of the film's Blu-ray master. Jody Duncan, editor of Cinefex Magazine and author of The Winston Effect: The Art and History of Stan Winston Studio, will moderate the evening.
Stan Winston's role in transforming the makeup and creature effects industries is just part of his legacy. He altered the course of movies when he helped to elevate makeup effects techniques from latex prosthetics to sophisticated animatronics. His work blurred distinctions between makeup, puppetry and visual effects, and his credo -- "I don't do effects, I do characters" -- was the guiding principle behind the creation of a veritable panoply of interstellar aliens, menacing chrome robots, and predatory dinosaurs.
In films ranging from "Terminator" to "Edward Scissorhands," to "Iron Man," audiences could barely discern where the actor ended and the effects began. Winston inspired legions of directors, visual effects supervisors and artists to stretch their abilities beyond what they knew to be possible. He challenged effects traditions, inspired creativity, and invented previously unimagined worlds. His insatiable curiosity eventually moved beyond the film world into the scientific realm, and he contributed to robotics and artificial intelligence innovations that found their way from his workshop in Van Nuys to the labs at MIT. Sony Pictures Imageworks, in conjunction with Stan Winston Studio, hosts an evening of tributes, celebrations, and memories of Stan Winston and his characters by family, friends, and peers.

What is jock itch?
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a form of
ringworm. Ringworm is not a worm at all. It is a
fungal infection of the outer layers of skin, hair, or
nails. Fungi (plural of fungus) are present everywhere in our
Ringworm of the skin appears as a rash with patches
that may be red or peeling or that have bumps on the edges that look like
blisters. The skin often is itchy, and the rash can spread quickly. You can
have both jock itch and athlete's foot (tinea pedis) at the same time.
What causes jock itch?
Jock itch is
caused by a fungus. Fungi commonly grow on or in the top layer of skin. They
may or may not cause an infection. Fungi grow best in warm, moist areas of the
body such as the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks.
As the name
suggests, jock itch mostly affects male athletes, but anyone can get it. Using
public showers and locker rooms increases your chances of getting jock itch.
Fungi grow best in the steamy rooms among damp towels, sweaty workout clothes,
and wet floors. So it's not surprising that jock itch and athlete's foot often
occur at the same time, since both are caused by fungi.
What are the symptoms of jock itch?
Symptoms of
jock itch include the following:
How is jock itch diagnosed?
Jock itch is annoying, but it usually is not serious. If you have had
jock itch in the past, you may recognize the symptoms. Your doctor can tell if
you have jock itch after asking questions about your symptoms and past health
and by looking at your rash. Your doctor may scrape a little of the rash onto a
glass slide so that he or she can look at it under a microscope.
How is jock itch treated?
ringworm infections of the skin, such as jock itch, can be treated at home with
antifungal creams and powders you can buy without a prescription. But have your
doctor look at any infection that does not go away, is severe, or comes back.
To treat jock itch, follow these steps:
How can I prevent jock itch?
You can help prevent jock itch by keeping your groin, inner thighs, and
buttocks clean and dry. Dry off well after you exercise and shower. Try these
other steps to prevent jock itch:

Updated Men's Basketball TV Schedule (PDF)
RICHMOND, Va. – The demand for VCU Basketball in the Metro Richmond area is at an all-time high. People are wearing more black and gold in Central Virginia than ever before, and season tickets have grown so popular there is a waiting list to attend games at the Verizon Wireless Arena at the Stuart C. Siegel Center.
With that in mind, VCU is excited to announce a new partnership with WTVR CBS 6 to broadcast as many as eight games on either the main channel (6.1) or the sub-channel (6.3).
"This partnership further proves the strength of our men's basketball brand," Director of Athletics Ed McLaughlin said. "There are only a select number of teams around the country that will receive the type of live television coverage that Coach Smart's program will receive this season, and that speaks volumes about how people around the country and this region feel about VCU Basketball."
The new deal ensures that 85 percent of VCU's regular season games will be broadcast on live television into the majority of homes in Central Virginia.
"This partnership provides a phenomenal opportunity to showcase our program," Head Coach Shaka Smart said. "Our fans in Central Virginia will get to watch almost ninety percent of VCU Basketball games on live TV. We're extremely excited to provide such tremendous television coverage for our loyal fans."
"WTVR is thrilled to make these games available to Ram fans in our viewing area. The enthusiasm and energy surrounding Shaka Smart and VCU Basketball is apparent, for us to partner with VCU is a 'win' for the station," WTVR General Manager Stephen Hayes said. "VCU regular season basketball is a natural fit for WTVR-TV. With CBS Sports' affiliation with college basketball and March Madness, it makes sense for WTVR to broadcast Rams' regular season games wherever, or whenever, possible. Hopefully the Rams will be back on our air when the NCAA tournament comes to CBS 6 in March."
With 15 VCU games already scheduled for national TV, CBS has agreed to air the home opener against Florida Gulf Coast (Nov. 9), a match-up against Longwood (Dec. 21) and Atlantic 10 Conference road games at St. Bonaventure (Jan. 12) and Rhode Island (Jan. 30). Additional games could be made available through WTVR once VCU's regional TV package has been finalized.
"VCU has enjoyed a great relationship with Stephen Hayes and his staff at WTVR-TV," McLaughlin added. "For years we have relied on them to help promote all of our sports through various types of advertising. With this agreement to air our games live on their 6.1 and 6.3 stations, the partnership now goes to the next level. It's a win-win for both WTVR and the Rams as we get to expand our message throughout their coverage area and they will have numerous viewers tune in to watch the Rams play live. Our job as a department will be to make sure Ram fans know how to tune in to the game when we play on the WTVR 6.3 station. Seventy percent of the market can receive the 6.3 channel. It's easily accessible."
