Northampton bring Courtney Lawes into the second row in their only change for Saturday's Aviva Premiership clash with Harlequins.
Northampton Saints bring Courtney Lawes into the second row in their only change for the Aviva Premiership clash with Harlequins.
"We enjoyed last Saturday's result, but all the chat in the dressing room was about taking the momentum into tomorrow's game against Harlequins," said Mallinder.
"This has been reflected in the attitude in training this week, which has been both intense and positive.
"We all know that Harlequins will pose us plenty of challenges. They are on a good run of form at the moment in all competitions and have shown regularly that they have the temperament and ability to win on the biggest stage.
"But we know we can win the big games, too, and are determined to give our fans something to sing about on Saturday."
Meanwhile, Harlequins have made six changes to the starting line-up of the team which beat Zebre in the Heineken Cup. Among the backs, Ugo Monye moves to the left wing, with Tom Williams starting on the right.
In the forwards, Joe Marler and James Johnston return to start in the front row alongside Joe Gray at hooker. Olly Kohn partners George Robson in the second row, while Maurie Fa'asavalu is named in the back-row.
Among the replacements, Dave Ward comes in for Rob Buchanan who picked up a knock during the Aviva 'A' League final victory over Saracens Storm on Monday night. Mark Lambert will look to make his 100th appearance for the club from the bench.
Form: Northampton Saints' only defeat in their last five matches in all competitions was 6-25 at home to Ulster in the Heineken Cup on December 7. Curiously, in each of the last four Aviva Premiership games the Saints have played their opponents have tallied exactly 16 points! The East Midlanders have won just one of their last four encounters at Franklin's Gardens.
The teams:
Northampton Saints: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Ken Pisi, 13 George Pisi, 12 Tom May, 11 Jamie Elliott, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Gerrit-Jan van Velze, 7 Phil Dowson, 6 Tom Wood, 5 Courtney Lawes, 4 Samu Manoa, 3 Paul Doran-Jones, 2 Mikey Haywood, 1 Soane Tonga'uiha.
Replacements: 16 Ross McMillan, 17 Alex Waller, 18 Brian Mujati, 19 Mark Sorenson, 20 Calum Clark, 21 Martin Roberts, 22 Ryan Lamb, 23 Luther Burrell.
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Tom Williams, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Tom Casson, 11 Ugo Monye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 5 George Robson, 4 Olly Kohn, 3 James Johnston, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Dave Ward, 17 Mark Lambert, 18 Will Collier, 19 Charlie Matthews, 20 Tom Guest, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Ben Botica, 23 Sam Smith.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Miss Emery MarKette Tanner has spent some time the last two weeks visiting all of the schools in Emery County. She gave a presentation about her platform issue which is Operation Smile.
Operation Smile is an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles, forever changing their lives.
As an international charity for children, they measure their success by the joy they see on all of the faces they help. At Operation Smile they are a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery and related medical care for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.
Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft. One in 10 of those children will die before their first birthday. The children who survive are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places, they are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a productive life.
Every child deserves access to safe, quality surgical care. Every child deserves a future filled with hope.
Operation Smile is the largest volunteer-based medical charity providing free cleft surgeries. Since 1982, Operation Smile, through the help of dedicated medical volunteers, has provided more than 3.5 million comprehensive patient evaluations and more than 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with facial deformities. Their work creates a lasting global impact. Operation Smile trains local doctors in developing countries and strengthens healthcare systems so more children in some of the poorest areas in the world can be treated.
As one of the most prominent charities for children in the world, Operation Smile works in more than 60 countries to heal children's smiles and bring hope for a better future. Together, they are saving children's lives.
The cost of a surgery to save a child's life is $240. In Tanner's presentation she asked students to give up a candy bar, bottle of pop or even their lunch money to help a child in need of this surgery.
She collected the money from the schools and raised enough money for seven surgeries.
Tanner said, "Even if you are in a bad mood, if you force yourself to smile it will lift your mood. Even babies smile. It takes 5-53 facial muscles to smile. There are 19 different types of smiles. I love the Operation Smile video. I wanted to be a part of it. The medical professionals donate their time for the reconstructive surgery. The surgery takes 45 minutes and it can transform a life.
"Saving someone's life is a big deal. Only $240 can save a child. Do what you can to help. Even if you can't donate, then you can smile. Share smiles with people and be happy," said Tanner.
"A smile can effect those around you. Spread the joy and think how lucky you are to have your smile," said Tanner.
Smile facts: Smiles are the most recognizable facial feature. A smile is a universal sign of happiness. Smiling boosts the immune system. It's easier to smile than to frown. People still smile at work. Smiling is contagious, smiling relieves stress. Women smile more than men. Smiles are more attractive than make-up, smiles can help you get promoted. People still smile at work.
The Miss Emery pageant is June 29.

Ulster have made five personnel and two positional changes to the team that beat the Dragons for their away game at Connacht.
Ulster have made five personnel and two positional changes to the team that beat the Dragons at Ravenhill last week for Friday's clash with Connacht.
Jared Payne has recovered from the ankle knock that he suffered against Saracens and starts at full-back for the game at the Sports ground.
Chris Henry, Andrew Trimble and Paddy Jackson, who were rested against the Dragons also return.
In the only other personnel change, Lewis Stevenson starts in the second-row, with Iain Henderson named as a substitute.
The positional changes see Tommy Bowe switch from the right wing to the left, and Ruan Pienaar moving from fly-half to scrum-half.
Johann Muller and John Afoa are named on a strong bench, as is Paul Marshall who will make his 100th appearance for the province if he comes on.
Meanwhile, Connacht make no changes to the team that defeated Edinburgh 32-24 at Murrayfield last week.
Brett Wilkinson, Adrian Flavin and Ronan Loughney make up the front-row trio with a total tally of 429 Connacht caps between them.
21-year-old Kieran Marmion, who has started every game this season, remains in the half-back pairing with Dan Parks.
March 'Player of the Month' Brian Murphy is named at first centre for his fifth Connacht start this year.
"We were obviously happy with last week's win. It was a very good victory for us but we're not getting carried as it means nothing if we can't back it up and have consistency now in this derby match against Ulster," said head coach Eric Elwood.
"We have a point to prove in that were nilled up in Belfast and that's a big incentive. We were disappointed with our away performances in the derby fixtures so we have another opportunity for four points here.
"We're looking forward to a physical contest. You can't shy away from the physicality. You have to be able to go toe-to-toe, up front with Ulster and you have to be able to control the break down area. And that's key this weekend. And we'll have the extra spice of the derby game at home. They're looking for top four and we still believe we have a lot to play for with three to go. So it should be ding dong."
Form: Connacht's solitary reversal in their last five RaboDirect PRO12 fixtures was 0-22 to Munster in Cork on 23rd March. Connacht have won all four matches played at the Sportsground in all competitions in 2013. Connacht's only win over a fellow Irish province this season came in round 5 when they beat Leinster 34-6 in Galway. Ulster returned to the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table with their 31-5 victory at home to Newport Gwent Dragons on Friday. The Ulstermen's only away victory in their last four trips in all competitions was 22-18 over Leinster at RDS on 30th March. Ulster have lost just once against a fellow Irish province this season: 10-24 in Munster on 29th December. Connacht's only win in their last 13 PRO12 contests with Ulster was 26-21 in this equivalent fixture at the Sportsground last season.
The teams:
Connacht: 15 Robbie Henshaw, 14 Danie Poolman, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Brian Murphy, 11 Gavin Duffy (capt), 10 Dan Parks, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 George Naoupu, 7 John Muldoon, 6 Mick Kearney, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Ronan Loughney, 2 Adrian Flavin, 1 Brett Wilkinson.
Replacements: 16 Ethienne Reynecke, 17 Rodney Ah You, 18 JP Cooney, 19 Andrew Browne, 20 Mata Fifita, 21 Paul O'Donohoe, 22 Miah Nikora, 23 Fetu'u Vainikolo.

Catherine Weikart Yeckel, PhD
Assistant Clinical Professor of Epidemiology
Departments & Organizations
School of Public Health: Environmental Health Sciences
Obesity Research Working Group
Office of Cooperative Research
Dr. Yeckel's research interests focus on physiological mechanisms of human metabolism in health and disease. After completing masters-level work in exercise physiology at the University of Pittsburgh (1989-1993), she continued her study of human metabolism, using exercise as a model, in her doctoral research at the University of Texas Medical Branch—Galveston (1996-2001). Working with Dr. Robert Wolfe, Dr. Yeckel extended her interest in whole-body and muscle-specific fat metabolism while learning stable-isotopic tracer methodologies. Subsequently, she came to the Yale University School of Medicine for post-doctoral training with Drs. Sonia Caprio and William Tamborlane (Pediatrics/Pediatric Endocrinology, 2001-2005) and with Dr. Robert Sherwin (Internal Medicine/Endocrinology, 2005-2006). These experiences provided a health perspective on disrupted physiological metabolism as it relates to insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction in obesity. Dr. Yeckel's affiliation with the Pierce Laboratory began through her interactions with Dr. Gary Mack, who shared with her an interest in thermoregulatory adaptations in obesity. Through collaborations with Dr. Nina Stachenfeld, Dr. Yeckel conducted research at the Pierce Laboratory, where she held a secondary appointment as a post-doctoral fellow (2005-2006). In July of 2005, Dr. Yeckel was promoted to Associate Research Scientist in Internal Medicine/Endocrinology at Yale and Research Scientist at the Pierce Laboratory. In January of 2006, Dr. Yeckel was appointed Assistant Fellow at the Pierce Laboratory.

An insurance company that wrote a policy on the life of alleged Ponzi schemer Ashvin Zaveri--now deceased--is asking courts to sort out who should get what share of the policy's $3 million-plus-interest payout.
The William Penn Life Insurance Co. of New York filed an interpledar action May 23 in the U.S. District Court in Rochester asking that Zaveri heirs and other named beneficiaries be barred from collecting payoffs until courts sort out their conflicting claims to assets in Zaveri's estate.
Interpledars are lawsuits in which parties holding assets belonging to others ask a court to compel claimants to such assets to litigate among themselves to determine who should get what share.
Federal prosecutors criminally charged Zaveri, who ran a Monroe County investment firm, in 2009, alleging in a six-count indictment that high-return shares in supposed oil-and-gas leases Zaveri sold were a $35 million Ponzi scheme.
Prosecutors dropped the criminal case before it was tried, asking for it to be dismissed some four months after Zaveri committed suicide last year.
Since then, victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme, Zaveri's heirs and the federal government have vied to claim some or all of an estimated $12 million estate, most of which consists of proceeds from several life insurance policies including the William Penn policy.
Competing claims to part or all of the Zaveri estate are filed in state Supreme court, Surrogate Court and federal court.
The William Penn interpledar names 10 individuals, including Zaveri's widow, who have stated claims to part of the $3 million policy's payout.
"William Penn is indifferent and disinterested as to which of the defendants is entitled to proceeds of the policy… (and is) unable to safely determine which of the defendants is entitled to that amount. As a result of these adverse claims, William Penn is or may exposed to multiple liability," the insurance company's court filing states.
In addition to being excused from any liability in any payout it might make, the insurance company asks to be repaid for its costs in filing the interpledar.

Did You Know? Countdown to Halloween 2009 (10/27)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Halloween
Oct 27 : 04 days till Halloween
Did you know that there are more than 2,500 costume rental shops across the country?
If rental isn't for you, consider some more frugal options: making a costume at home with materials you already have on hand or check out garage sales, thrift shops and your local Craigslist for costume sales.
The holiday of Halloween dates back to the Dark Ages. Once truly spooky traditions have morphed over the years into much more light-hearted (but still mischievous) celebrations. Here is a fun look at some of the facts and folklore that describe how All Hallows Eve came to be celebrated as Halloween. Join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Halloween.
Halloween will be celebrated on Saturday October 31st.

FlyHiJets, on 24 January 2013 - 05:19 PM, said:
Yes....Revis USED TO lock down one side of the field but he also demands the money of two players which the team CAN NOT afford & we have no idea if he's worth it or not coming off the ACL injury. You guys are all gung-ho on paying him top dollar when he's nothing more than a question mark because of what he was able to do in the past & want to trade away the guy that gave us a better dfense than when he was here. In what world does that make ANY sense? Revis' camp is making it clear he wants $16 million per year. I don't give a flying fvck who he THINKS he is.....he's NOT worth it. He's nothing more than a legend in his own mind.
I agree with much of the above, I'm ok with top end CB money - Not ok with highest paid defensive player / QB money. Everyone knows that revis's skill set is elite and far above any other CB in the league but his cost is just way to high. I really don't blame revis either, he knows someone will give him what he wants. Might as well make as much as you can while you can but as far as the jets go, 16 mill a year for a cornerback is only going to hurt the team that is willing to pay him what he wants. Revis is one of my favorite jets but his contract demands are just going to hurt the team. At 15-16 mill a year we can get 2 or 3 quality players. And if we were to trade revis, not only would his salary free up the room to sign some more quailty players, he would also give us some high quality draft picks. Dealing him could help the jets potentially land 5+ starters depending on how the jets draft. I could understand signing revis if the team had a better roster and a better cap situation but the gambling the future for now / tannenbaum mentality has hit the wall. This is the consequence. Its a bummer but it is what it is. All I am saying is that idzik better have an idea what he is doing and get the most for revis he can. This fanbase is going to flip if revis is had for just a 2nd rounder or something absurd like that.

How-To Geek
How to Benchmark Your Windows PC: 5 Free Benchmarking Tools
Whether you're overclocking your computer, comparing different systems, or just bragging about your hardware, a benchmark can help you quantify your computer's performance. Windows has a large ecosystem of useful benchmarking applications, and many of them are free.
Before performing any benchmark, ensure that nothing else is running on your computer – if something is crunching away in the background, it will slow down the benchmark and skew the results.
Prime95 is a popular CPU stress test and benchmark tool among overclockers. It's part of a distributed computing project for finding Mersenne prime numbers, but it includes torture test and benchmark modes.
After you download the ZIP file and launch Prime95.exe, click the Just Stress Testing button to skip creating an account.
The torture test mode is ideal for testing the stability of your CPU, particularly if it's been overclocked. If you want to perform a benchmark, click Cancel.
Use the Benchmark option in the Options menu to perform a benchmark.
Benchmark results are measured in time – lower values are faster, and therefore better. If you're testing an overclock, compare the results of the Prime95 benchmark before and after the overclock to see the difference in performance. You can also compare your benchmark results to other computers on the Prime 95 website.
Super Pi, which calculates the digits of pi, is another popular tool for stress-testing and benchmarking CPUs.
Novabench is a benchmarking suite with CPU, GPU (graphics card), RAM, and disk speed benchmarks. Unlike many all-in-one benchmark suites for Windows, Novabench is completely free. It's not a trial and there's no paid version with additional features that it's trying to sell you.
Novabench's benchmark process is faster than many other full benchmark suites. It took about a minute on my system, while other benchmark suites took significantly longer.
NovaBench displays an all-round "NovaBench Score" – higher is better – and shows the results of each individual benchmark. You can view other benchmark results and compare your score to other computers on the NovaBench website.
NovaBench does a simple 3D benchmark, but you'll want a dedicated 3D benchmarking tool for a more intensive benchmark of PC gaming performance. Futuremark's 3DMark is probably the most popular 3D benchmarking tool. Use 3DMark11 to benchmark DirectX 11 hardware, 3DMark Vantage to benchmark DirectX 10 hardware, and 3DMark06 to benchmark DirectX 9 hardware. Each 3DMark version has a free edition with limited options available.
3DMark's tests run in full-screen mode and render the sort of scenes you'd find in games – only they aren't interactive. After it's done, you'll get a separate score for your GPU (graphics hardware) and CPU. Higher scores are better.
PCMark is developed by Futuremark, the same company that develops 3DMark. Unlike 3DMark, PCMark is focused on all-around PC usage performance instead of 3D gaming performance. The free, basic edition includes a small subset of the available tests, but it can still be useful.
The free version includes video playback, web browsing, image manipulation, and storage benchmarks. It includes some 3D graphics and gaming performance benchmarks but isn't exclusively focused on them.
The benchmark may take some time to complete. After it does, you'll see detailed information about your benchmark results on the Futuremark website. As with Futuremark's 3DMark, higher scores are better.
SiSoftware Sandra
SiSoftware Sandra is another popular system information tool that includes benchmarking utilities. SiSoftware offers paid versions, but the free version contains the benchmarks you'll need. The Overall Score benchmark is the most useful for getting a well-rounded look at your system's performance, but you can also perform individual tests. You'll find individual tests for everything from virtual machine performance, processor power management, and networking to storage devices and memory.
The Overall Score benchmark includes benchmarks of your CPU, GPU, memory bandwidth, and file system performance.
After the benchmark is finished – it'll take a few minutes – you'll see detailed graphs that compare your results to the results of reference computers.
Is your preferred benchmarking utility not on this list? Leave a comment and let us know about it.

Yeah, I usually use Heaven Benchmarking DX11, but my all time favorite has always been 3DMark11. Good work on the article.
I downloaded NovaBench but it wouldn't install on my 64 bit system, it said it wasn't compatable. One of the requirements to have that program is the .NET Framework 2 installed and that too is not compatable with a 64 bit system. I went with the SiSoftware Sandra program and it installed without a hitch. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like a good program to keep on top of my overall system performance. I just thought I would mention that in case anyone with a 64 bit system wants to try NovaBench.
Also thanks for the tip on 3DMark11 for Graphics testing, I think I'll try that one too.
LaDonna, Your system must have other issues. I have used all the tools listed for over a year.
NovaBench works fine on my Qosmio Windows 7 64 Bit system.
In my opinion NovaBench and Passmark Performance Test are the easiest to use, save results and compare previous results.
I wannna' benchmark my benchmarks !
Good too know about the How to Benchmark The Windows PC 5 Free Benchmarking Tools

Virgin Blue Increases Services In Time For Christmas11/11/2002
Melbourne-Hobart Services Doubled
Launch of Seasonal Sydney-Launceston Direct Daily Services
50% Increase In Weekday Melbourne–Gold Coast Frequencies
Second Daily Sydney-Sunshine Coast Service For Christmas Period
Additional Melbourne–Launceston Service For Holidays
Virgin Blue's bold expansion plans are gathering momentum, with the announcement today of even more flight choices across a number of popular routes in time for the Christmas holidays.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "It is evident from demand on our current services that thousands of people are taking advantage of Virgin Blue's low fares and our enhanced schedule will provide more opportunity for travellers to get away with affordable air travel to more and more destinations across the country with both non-stop and connecting services".
The new services include:
The low fare airline will double services between Melbourne and Hobart in time for Christmas with two additional daily flights to and from the mainland.
While only commencing Melbourne – Hobart services two months ago, strong load factors on existing services and demand for extra flights prompted Virgin Blue to boost capacity, with the new flights specifically designed to offer business travellers real choice in the market with a convenient day return option.
The new services will also provide another low fare alternative for those eager to get away for the holidays or to visit friends and families.
Everyday one way low fares start from $99* one way on the net.
Virgin Blue will also introduce a new service between Launceston and Sydney with the launch of daily direct seasonal flights.
Following strong demand on current connecting flights between the two cities Virgin Blue has launched the new daily service with fares starting from $149* one way and a Fully Flexible walk-up fare of $299* one way, 29% less than the $419 walk-up fare the competition has been demanding from the travelling public until now.
In addition, a third daily service between Launceston and Melbourne will also be added to the schedule for the Christmas holiday period.
Flights between Melbourne and the Gold Coast are also included in the flight bonanza with the addition of a third daily service from Monday to Friday providing an extra 50% increase in weekday frequency over existing service levels.
Weekend flights will also receive a boost with an extra daily flight bringing the total to four flights a day on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Everyday one way low fares start from $149* one way on the net.
The addition of a second daily seasonal service between Sydney and Maroochydore will be offered until January 13, 2003 to cope with demand for the new direct service that was launched only four weeks ago.
The new late afternoon timing provides good early evening returns from the Sunshine Coast to the NSW capital allowing travellers to make the most of their time on the coast.
Everyday one way low fares start from $109* one way on the net.
The latest round of extra flights will further expand Virgin Blue's existing route network with its brand new Boeing 737 aircraft to be operated on all of these routes.
"These are exciting times for Virgin Blue, it's a huge growth phase for us as we cement our position as Australia's leading low fare airline, the only carrier offering real low fares on a regular basis as well as genuine and friendly service in the air and on the ground", Brett Godfrey finished.
* Fares include all taxes and charges and are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone.

Acer Aspire One AOA-150 Netbook Dual Boot with Solaris
By PotstickerGuru on Apr 01, 2009
Acer Aspire One 150 - Need the 8.9 inch Model
There were a few reasons why I went out and bought the Acer AOA-150. This is the model offered last year with 8.9 inch LCD, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz/120GB HD/1GB RAM platform. Around Christmas 2008, it was in stores for around $349, and just a few months later, it's now $299 for the same system, only with 160GB HD. There's also an Acer AOA-110 model which has an 8GB or 16GB SSD (Solid State Drive) which comes with a Linpus/Linux distro that supposedly runs well, but firstly, I'm not a big fan yet of SSD. Most of the low-end stuff is either way too slow on sustained I/O and/or way too unreliable. There's a lot of hype about SSD and auto-leveling. But that's the theory. How manufactures make SSD (at least the cheap ones for these devices) and how it deals with swapping and partitioning while auto-leveling, well, that, for me, it's not there yet, no matter how many senior article writers, analysts and Marketing pundits say so. Except for the best and most expensive flash with the best performing auto-leveling algorithms and error checking, most the flash aren't very fast or very reliable yet. And they're too darn small to dual boot and have any real working space anyway. So disk capacity was pretty important, and with these models having 160GB of hard disk, that was plenty.
Another reason for chosing the AOA-150 was Solaris compatibility. I've been hanging out at various Costcos and Fry's Electronics stores and playing with netbooks and opening up the Windows->Control Panel-> System->Hardware Devices panels. For the stores that haven't locked out that feature, it's provided me valuable info on what chips the makers are actually using inside. Of course, this is no guarantee Solaris will work until you get home and actually try it, but it gives me more confidence that Solaris will actually boot up and connect to the network if it's a device that's been reported on Sun's Big Admin HCL or by other users elsewhere online. Note that makers in this volume space often rev a system with different components without changing the model number, so you really need to check and have a store that will honour its return policy.
The 8.9 inch LCD Aspire seems to have most chips on my compatibility checklist. My main concerns are bootability, graphics, ethernet, WiFi and Audio. I would like to get the onboard camera working, but that's for later hacking. Maybe someone already got it working under Solaris and I just need to find it. For the most part, both AOA-110 and AOA-150 have a Realtek 8101E/8102E fast ethernet networking port. That's supported by the latest Solaris rge(7D) driver. The WiFi is Atheros AR5007E/AR5008E a.k.a AR242X-type of PCI-express adapter onboard, and that should be supported by the recent ath(7D) driver. Graphics is Intel onboard 945GMA Integrated graphics which works with our Xorg fairly well. And finally, the audio controller is standard Intel HD Audio spec compliant with what looks like a Realtek ALC HD Audio Codec. The latest SXCE audiohd(7D) driver has a parser that should be able to discover the codec capabilities and activate the sound properly.
Note that Acer is now shipping a newer, 10.1 inch LCD model (AOD-150) which has the same resolution (1024x600) but bigger pixels. It's selling for $349 and I do notice more folks looking at it and not squinting as much, but the hard wired ethernet is now Atheros-based and probably an adaptation of the Attansic NIC which they acquired a year or two ago. There are opensourced BSD drivers for the Attansic NIC and I think even Murayama's Solaris Driver collection may have a sample Attansic driver, but I haven't tried it yet, and didn't want to risk it. Plus, it's $50 more. Maybe when it gets cheaper, like in a few months, I'll splurge and get another netbook and test the driver.
Steps for Dual Booting
As with most PCs, to dual boot a pre-installed WinXP/Vista box, requires the following steps:
- Resize the existing WinXP (either FAT32 or NTFS) disk partition to make room for Solaris.
- Create a Solaris2 type partition sufficient for your needs.
- Install the Solaris on the slice, and GRUB for the boot-loader
Assuming all goes as planned, the GRUB install finds all the other bootable slices and enumerates those too. The challenge with the Acer Netbook is doing any of those tasks without an Optical drive. Typically, it's not possible to resize the boot disk, so we try to boot from optical drive and then resize. Similarly, installing onto the boot device isn't possible either.
For the Acer, we can boot USB, and that means if you have an external USB DVD drive, then it's possible to install via CD and DVD media. There is another option and that's to install via USB flash drive. Opensolaris is about 700MB in base size and is a bootable CD-image. It can be converted to USB flash boot image by using the Mercurial tools. This can fit on just about any single 1GB USB flash drive which you can buy at Fry's or online for around $6 each. I recommend buying 2 of these as the extra one will come in handy for resizing the partition.
1. Resize the WinXP NTFS slice
Before partitioning WinXP NTFS, I highly recommend running the Windows disk defragment utility. It's in the Accessories under System Tools I think. This will compact most files into a contiguous near the front end of the cylinders on that slice and save a lot of time or anxiety over having the partitioning utility doing it on the fly. De-Fragging can take hours if you've put a lot of files onto the disk.
There are commercial packages like System/Partition Commander and Partition Magic that can do this. You'll need to source a USB external optical drive. I found the close-out XBOX360 HD-DVD USB player attachment device for $40 at Fry's Electronics. It plays both DVDs and HD-DVDs for XBOX360, but fronts as vanilla DVD/HD-DVD USB drive for any PC system. That's one option. If you neither want to buy an extra external optical drive, nor spend money on software, then you can try the Knoppix Rescue 5.1.1 or later and the QTParted utility that ships with the distro. Knoppix is a Debian Linux variant used widely for rescue disks. It's downloadable off many mirror sites on the Internet, and there is a free Windows executable that takes the ISO image and will flash a bootable USB stick with it. Since Knoppix 5.1.x is about 700MB, you'll need an extra 1 GB flash stick or larger. Since the Acer comes with WinXP already, it's easy enough to follow these Knoppix USB install instructions to create the bootable USB stick on the Acer itself. This takes about 10 minutes plus time to download the ISO image. Once the Knoppix USB stick has been created, reboot the Acer and hit 'F12' to select the USB stick as the boot device and proceed. Hit return on the first prompt for line/scan rate and when the GUI comes up, either open a terminal and run:
$ su - root # qtparted
or follow the KDE menu and open the QTParted w/ root exec privileges (usually there are two QTParted entries in the KDE menu - the first on top is the one to click). This should bring up lots of slices. Scroll down until you see a number of sdaX entries. Select the first and this should show the internal disk drive. It should have a 6GB slice up front that is FAT32 and the remaining 150GB is formatted NTFS. Using the GUI and mouse, drag the tail of the second slice (NTFS) to reduce the size. To actually resize, you need to go to the main menu for the QTParted and select "commit." I have a new Acer that hasn't really been used. Its disk was negligibly fragmented and I didn't put any files onto it. So defrag'ging and resizing only took a few minutes. I ended up allocating around 40GB for XP and the remaining 110GB for Solaris.
2. Create a Solaris2 Partition
My older Knoppix 5.1.1 rescue image didn't know about Solaris type partitions. I haven't checked if the newer ones recognize it yet. But typically, Linux fdisk utilities have often confused Solaris partition types with Linux Swap types. The Solaris fdisk utility understands Solaris partition types, and supports Solaris2 types which are distinct and not confused with Linux Swap. Since I was planning to install OpenSolaris or SXCE onto the Acer, and fdisk is bundled, I decided to take a second USB flash drive and put OpenSolaris 2009-06 b110 on it. Since a lot of driver development has resulted in fixes since 2008-11, I recommend trying out a candidate 2009-06 build of OpenSolaris. Currently, that's b110 and the USB flash image is available a http://genunix.org/. To actually copy the image to USB stick and make it bootable, you will need the usbcopy utility. This is downloadable via Mercurial tools repository and assumes you have hg(1) on your system, which seems to been in solaris Nevada for quite some time now. If you don't have those tools, please read Dave Miner's blog on OpenSolaris on USB sticks and get the tools to simplify making bootable USB sticks.
With OpenSolaris flashed onto a bootable USB stick, simply reboot the Acer with the USB stick inserted, and hit 'F12' to select the boot device, and boot the first entry. There may be a problem with the SD card reader driver - sdhost(7D) - which may cause the kernel to lock up later. There is a supposed fix for that and Dave Clack talks about it and has links to software on his blog. Save this for later. For now, we need simply need to edit GRUB when the USB stick boots, and hit 'e' twice and edit the kernel line to append a -B disable-sdhost=true and hit return, then 'b' to boot with that added parameter. This disables the sdhost driver.
After a minute, OpenSolaris will come up into a default "jack" session. I open a terminal window and run:
$ pfexec bash # fdisk /dev/rdsk/c8d0p0
and then I follow the help (?) menus to create a new fdisk partition of SOLARIS2 type. Your device may vary if you use a USB DVD drive. The raw disk could have designation c1d0p0. Another way to find out is to run the format(1M) command. It will print out a list of available disks. When you've identified the target disk, hit Ctrl-C or type quit out of the format utility, and then run fdisk on the /dev/rdsk/[device] where [device] is the available disk selection you found for your Acer, (e.g. c8d0) with a p0 appended (e.g. c8d0p0). This can still be complicated for some, so Clay Baenziger has a Kshell script that provides an easy resize capability. I haven't tried it yet, but looking at the script, it looks like it does what I described manually. I like the manual way because I've had some issues with fdisk(1M) occasionally not setting the correct start cylinder so it clobbers the partition map with overlapping slices and that can lead to loss of data. So I just like to verify things manually before committing. I divided up my disk and preserved the 6GB Acer slice (actually a FAT32 diagnostic WinXP partition with recovery media on that slice (don't blow it away! - contains recovery media!), allowed WinXP about 40GB, and the remaining 107GB, I used for Solaris.
Install the Solaris
Both OpenSolaris 2009-06 b110 and Nevada SXCE b111 have networking and WiFi and Audio all taken care of. I've tried installing both and ended up sticking with Nevada SXCE because I had a USB DVD drive because I was at the end of a slow network connection at home and didn't want to eat bandwidth download latest and greatest packages through a remote repository. But if you don't want to download a huge wad of developer tools, and have the bootable OpenSolaris USB flash drive, I'd say that's a quick way to get Solaris up and installed.
Note on the Solaris SXCE b111 install, you should choose option 4 Console Text install if having issues with Default option 1 interactive Graphical install.
When the install is done, GRUB boot-loader gets written to the disk and it seems to find not only Solaris, but the WinXP partition as well as the diagnostic partition, which are all bootable. If things went well, hopefully, you've preserved your WinXP and diag slices and now have a dual boot Acer.
One last finishing touch of course is to put the sticker on it!

"Now I will stop Edo Tensei"..? no no no, he said in chapter 578 he'd keep his promise to talk to sasuke after they defeated Kabuto.. Sasuke was somewhat slow in this fight, I hope he doesn't miss the chance to get some more info from Itachi.. He's still hiding something.. what if he goes off with the emotional puff caused by some interaction with sasuke before he can finish his mission..? I know that genjutsu he casted on himself probably won't allow it..so it would be one hell of a cliffchanger. I'd like to see sasuke finish what Itachi started – stopping Edo Tensei.
...You Know?..
not bad @t paulbee, i stand corrected that izanami is different in scope to tsukuyomi. I liked the back story itachi gave too. what i wonder if the cost would be the same for a EMS user? Maybe that is what drove the clan to seek peace with the senju over madara's war dogma. Capable clans men losing eyes in battles with their mortal enemies and in house fighting over who's the real bad ass in the family would tear any family apart. Hope next week is some more insight in the Uchiha massacre from the man who did it. Did he have help? how did he do it? All these hax justus and itachi handled them all? Tobi had a hand in it for sure but, Itachi should give sasuke the whole story
Sasuke needs 2cc of Izanami stat. Nice and through explanation of the jutsu Kishi.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
The narutoverse is a world in which even killing someone doesn't mean you have defeated him. Remember 1st death of Sasori, the death of Tobi by the paper bombs, etc. I say we release the edos ; we kill the bastard; we have a coffee; we check with the sharingan that he's not hidden in the coffee; and then we say we've got him.
Well Kabuto can't really be killed by Itachi, eh.. He stops edo tensei and disappears so there's noone to kill Kabuto anymore.. Itachi doesn't even want to kill him.. I wonder why? Why try so hard to make Kabuto came to his senses when it's Sasuke he should be rescuing?
...You Know?..
Ouch this chapter hurt my brain... Damn Sharingan is getting convoluted. Im over the Sharingan already, this thing can copy shit, change destiny, put people in endless illusions, control magical monsters who can destroy the world, predict shit, and whatever else it wants! gah! This manga has such a boner for the Uchiha It should of been called Saskue.. lol
But aside from that, Im pretty sure Kabuto is going to bust out of that thing at the most inopportune time and say haha I faked coming to terms with myself, then kill Itachi for what seems like the third freaking time lol.
A pie in the sky?
Man, this Chap was awesome. I was really confused by explaination tho. Gotta read that again. I got the translation/reflexion part tho.
I feel kinda bad for Kabuto now, almost to the point of him finding his brother and walking away from the main story.
Also, is it just me, or is it shaping in such a way for Sasuke to redeem himself. He seems to be getting lots of attention and nurturing these chapters, so i feel as tho his outlook will change.
Izanami seems like the one thing to best Naruto with. Naruto never gives up, so If you put him in a situation where he has to go against his Nindo, I see him continuing till the end of time.............Either that, or he uses Talk no jutsu in the loop to change the other person..........ok he might actually do that.
Hmmmmm, when I think about it in real life frames, it sounds ridiculous that Kishi is actually paid for thinking up how jutsu work, lol .
I see, only after death, Itachi finally stopped lying to others, himself and started believing in Naruto's and Sasuke's strength.
Some of you believe that Itachi is going to stop ET, probably, but I don't think he is going down with that. I think he is going to use his Susano's sword, so that he will never be brought back as Zombie again.

The Emery County Fair is the culmination of the 4-H year for most 4-H'ers. This year is no exception in the quality and quantity category of this fair. We have seen artwork, houses (both gingerbread and bird), photography, jewelry and clay people. What a fair!
There were a total of 119 entries this year with an additional 30 Cloverbud entries. (Cloverbuds are youth who have not yet turned eight years old and completed third grade.) Five rosettes were given for outstanding 4-H club work. This year the rosettes went to Andie Curtis for her needle felted Nativity, Chase Fausett for his white charcoal artwork of a wolf and Indian. TJ Lacock was awarded a rosette for his clay figure called the "Cowboy by the Fire" and Tina Lacock received her rosette for crocheted Angry Bird hats. Kaylee Swasey received a rosette for outstanding work by making a difficult patterned quilt called Trees. All of these youth have done a great job and any one of them could have walked away with the rosettes.
A huge thank you goes to every 4-H volunteer club leader that takes time to influence the life of Emery County youth through this program. As the Extension staff we thank you for your time, talents and willingness to share your knowledge with future generations.
More and more youth need the values, skills and guidance 4-H offers. People volunteer for 4-H for many reasons. One obvious benefit is to help guide and counsel our country's future citizens and leaders. As a volunteer you'll also grow as a person, develop new leadership skills, meet new friends and have great adventures!
Adult volunteers play an important in the 4-H program. We need you! Contact Utah State University Extension at 435-381-2381 or come into our office at 75 East Main #114 to enroll your club today.

'The Independent' reports operation in unnamed location taps into undersea cables.
Working on behalf of Western intelligence agencies, Britain has operated a secret surveillance post in the Middle East that taps into undersea fiber-optic cables to siphon off Internet and telephone communications, The Independent newspaper reported Thursday.
The spy station's existence was noted in documents that Edward Snowden downloaded in 2012 while he worked at the National Security Agency and leaked to TheGuardian, the Independent's sister publication.
Everything traveling through the underwater cables to the region is copied onto massive computer storage buffers, sifted, then passed along to the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the NSA, the paper writes.
The Independent said it was not revealing the location of the spy post, which the British government says provides a crucial "early warning" system of potential terror attacks.
The Independent said it "understands" that the Guardian agreed to the British government's request to not publish material in the Snowden trove that could damage national security.
The latest revelation comes a day after British authorities opened a terrorism investigation into information found on the computer of David Miranda, the partner of Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald, who first disclosed Snowden's evidence of widespread and indiscriminate NSA surveillance.
Miranda won a partial legal victory Thursday. A British court issued a temporary injunction blocking the government from using or sharing material seized from him Sunday at Heathrow Airport.

Sprinter Sacre: star chaser will not be among the stars on show on SundayPICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)
Sprinter and Darlan to miss Sunday races
DETERIORATING conditions at Cheltenham have cost Sunday's fixture two of its star attractions, Sprinter Sacre and Darlan.
There was no further rain on top of the 6mm that fell overnight and into Saturday morning but the ground at the close of play on Saturday had been eased to soft, heavy in places.
That was enough for Henderson to draw stumps as regards two of his stable stars: Sprinter Sacre, last season's Arkle winner who was set to make his seasonal reappearance in the Shloer Chase, and Darlan, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle runner-up who was 11-4 for the Racing Post Hurdle.
"We want to make a decision tonight and not leave everyone waiting to the morning: Sprinter Sacre is not going to run," Henderson said.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to run him but it's only three weeks to the Tingle Creek and he'd get there without a run. It just seems crazy to ask him to run in this. Sadly the ground has gone against him and I don't want to jeopardise the Tingle Creek."
Later on Saturday evening Henderson also announced the defection of Darlan.
He said: "Darlan will not run. The most important thing tonight was to make the decision. No one is going to say they don't go in very soft ground, but they're young and they don't need hard races in soft ground at this stage of the season.
"I want to emphasise we are sorry but the horses come first. Both owners [of Darlan and Sprinter Sacre] and jockeys agree and it wasn't a very difficult decision.
"I always said this was the target for Darlan and I would have run if that had been possible. He's in at Newcastle [the Fighting Fifth] and there's Cheltenham later [the International].
"The horse is very fit and very well. The only decision tonight was whether to run, we'll decide what next on Sunday."
Clerk of the course Simon Claisse said Sprinter Sacre's withdrawal was "disappointing but understandable".
He added: "I don't think it will dry out much with the sort of conditions we've had." No further rain is forecast before racing on Sunday.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:43 PM GMT on September 03, 2009
Tropical Storm Erika has weakened steadily this afternoon, and has not generated any sustained winds of tropical storm force (39 mph) at any weather stations in the Lesser Antilles Islands today, according to our wundermap for the region. Erika has dumped some heavy rain on the islands, with 8.03" of rain measured on Dominica over the past two days. The Hurricane Hunters are in the storm now, and have thus far found top winds of 36 mph at the surface and at their flight level of 1000 feet. Radar animations out of Martinique show that the areal coverage and intensity of rain echoes has diminished greatly since this morning, and IR satellite loops also show a major decrease in heavy thunderstorm activity. Visible satellite images (Figure 1) show that the low-level center has become exposed to view, and there is very little heavy thunderstorm activity near Erika's center. Erika is probably just a tropical depression now.
Figure 1. Visible satellite image of Erika showing the exposed swirl of its low-level center southeast of Puerto Rico.
The forecast for Erika
Erika is headed west, in defiance of most of the computer models that predicted a northwest or west-northwest track. Regardless, Erika's track will take the storm into a band of significantly higher wind shear of 25 - 35 knots, Friday through Saturday. Considering that Erika is steadily weakening and is barely alive now, the storm should dissipate by Saturday, and perhaps much sooner. Erika's remains will still be capable of dumping very heavy rains of 3 - 5 inches over the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the northern Lesser Antilles Islands, and 1 - 3 inches over Haiti and the Southeast Bahamas over the next few days. However, the recent decrease of Erika's heavy thunderstorms makes lower rainfall totals more probable. By Monday, when the remains of Erika should have penetrated through the band of high wind shear over the Greater Antilles, shear may fall low enough to allow redevelopment. This is a scenario offered by the NOGAPS and GFS models. The other models predict quite a bit more shear in the region, and I believe any redevelopment of Erika early next week is unlikely. The GFDL and HWRF models continue to insist that Erika will head northwest, brush off the high shear, and intensify into a Category 2 hurricane five days from now.
McAfee virus alert messages
A number of wunderground users with the McAfee virus protection software installed were alerted yesterday that a possible Trojan virus existed on our web pages. After an investigation of the issue, we have determined that this is a false alarm. It appears McAfee updated their virus files yesterday, and included in their list of suspected viruses JavaScript web pages that compressed using the packer compression system used by wunderground. We've changed the compression technique used on our web pages, and hopefully this will eliminate the bogus McAfee alert messages.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic
A large, strong tropical wave with plenty of spin emerged from the coast of Africa this morning. The wave is not yet generating much in the way of heavy thunderstorms, but has the potential to gradually develop into a tropical depression by early next week. NHC is giving this wave a low (less than 30% chance) of developing into a tropical depression by Saturday. The GFS model continues to predict development of this wave into a tropical depression early next week.
I'll have an update Friday.

Why text messaging is sometimes an ideal communications tool.
SEATTLE – The top love affair in the lives of many women is their mobile device, according to survey findings released today by antivirus vendor AVG Technologies.
AVG polled 4,000 women in the UK, US, Canada, France, Germany and Brazil. It found nearly 35 per cent of women now use social media channels to check out dates ahead of time. What's more, 57% of American women said they could live without sex for a week, but not without their mobile devices.
AVG's survey underscores how rising use of social media and mobile devices continue to reshape long held notions of privacy. The findings were released today in Las Vegas at the CTIA mobile marketplace conference.
"Make sure you're aware of your privacy settings, " cautions Judith Bittlerly, AVG's senior vice president of marketing. "Your digital foot print is not just what you see, it's what other people see. Make sure it's right for the environment."
The international scope of AVG's poll resulted in some interesting findings. American women are the most prolific users of social media channels to screen dates, while 61% of Brazilian women said they cancelled dates based on information discovered through social media. Meanwhile fewer than 25 per cent of French women use social media to screen dates.
AVG's survey found that women are using their mobile devices and social media to research potential partners, and to break up with them, as well. Some 55 % of respondents said they have, or would, break up with a significant other via mobile technology.
"It's not surprising technology is increasingly being used as a substitute for one-on-one, in-person contact," says John Giamatteo, AVG's chief operating officer. COO of AVG Technologies. "This study suggests an increasing level of detachment, where devices serve as agents to filter potential partners and release them when women are ready to move on."

He holds a bachelor's of science in nursing from Roberts Wesleyan College, a master's of science in health administration from Roberts Wesleyan and a position of adjunct professor in the nursing program at Keuka College.
In his most recent position, Koczent constructed a physician corporation that will serve more than 100,000 patient visits annually. The corporation is certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, a model that Thompson Health is pursuing in each of its five family practices.
In his new role as Thompson Health's executive vice president and COO, Koczent will replace Michael F.

Koczent will focus on strengthening Thompson's primary care base and expanding its reach into its primary and secondary markets. In addition, he will be instrumental in championing numerous service excellence and quality initiatives throughout Thompson Health.
"Thompson Health is thrilled to welcome Kurt back," says Stapleton. "His expertise in outpatient services and his skill in cultivating strong physician relationships will be tremendously valuable as Thompson continues to meet the changing needs of our community."

America is making many bad decisions concerning her welfare. One of the worst decisions she has made to date is the decision to trade with China. We can blame this decision on Bill Clinton and Congress. I don't know what motivated Bill Clinton and Congress to decide to trade with the communists but it will be a move that will prove to be disastrous.
America is heading toward a recession that I do not believe it will be able to pull out of until it stops trading with China and all foreign countries. Every thing that is purchased from a foreign country hurts our economy. The more we give our money to the communists the weaker it makes us and the more powerful it makes the communists.
I predict America's economy will continue for flounder until it plunges into the worst depression it has ever seen. The only way America will get out of this depression is to stop trading with China and all foreign countries. I ask that all Americans who care about taking care of each other to buy products built by each other or each of us will be out of work soon. This is my opinion and my opinion only and does not reflect the opinion of any one else.
