The Lovetones
View in iTunesTo preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Drawing inspiration from late-'60s psychedelia and mid-'90s pop underground acts like Matthew Sweet, Australia's Lovetones formed in the early 2000s with Matthew J. Tow, Matthew Sigley, Serge Luca, and Chris Cobb. Having generated a considerable buzz with their 2002 Bomp debut, Be What You Want, the band went on to tour and eventually collaborate with the Brian Jonestown Massacre. After three jam-packed years of touring, during which time the band managed to release the Stars EP and record several tracks with the BJM, the Lovetones' sophomore album, Meditations, was released on Tee Pee. A third release, Axiom, arrived in 2007. ~ Margaret Reges

Subject | Bad performance (timeout) sometimes |
Date | Fri, 25 Feb 2011 09:40:54 GMT |
Hello, I'm new here. I evaluated Active MQ in the last days. Therefore I also made a performance test. This mostly worked fine. But round about 3 times I had a big performance issue: One of my test was a ping-pong. The producer application creates a "ping-pong-10000" message. This was received by the consumer application and answered by "ping-pong-9999" which was again received and answered by the first application until the counter reached 0. So I checked the performance with a bidirectional communication. This test worked mostly fine. But round about 3 times (from round about 100 tests) this test take ages. With debugging/println messages I have seen that one client took 30 seconds for each response. One time even both clients had this delay. For me this looks like a timeout because each message took exactly 30 seconds. But no error message was posted on client or server. Two times I had to restart the server and all worked again. One time even this did not worked and I needed to remove the persistence of ActiveMQ to go back to normal production. Environment: OS: Windows XP Active MQ: 5.4.2 (out of the box, so with kahadb) Clients: Java, sometimes also one client was C++ (using ActiveMQ-CPP-3.2.4) Settings: Communication was always done with a standalone server, using TCP and openwire. I'm not sure for all cases but the last time it was with persistence for sure! I belief that it was most often with persistence and probably queue communication (so the slowest of all options). Can anybody explain the problem or help me how to avoid this issue? Thanks, Martin -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Bad-performance-timeout-sometimes-tp3324131p3324131.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. | |

Chances are that if you're running a public facing blog, you're probably happiest when someone actually reads it. Preferably lots of someones. Your blog's stats can give you some great ways to get to know a little bit more about your readers, and what it is about your work that most attracts them.
While the more liberal artsy types among us might shoo off the idea of obsessively stat trawling as something for the more scientifically inclined, there's actually something for everyone lurking just beneath the surface, whether that's inspiration or cold, hard logic. If you want people to read your blog, making use of your stats can give you an arsenal of information to help make that happen. In our Stats Wrangling series, we'll be digging in to how to get to grips with your blog stats, one module at a time. But in today's post, we'll start with a whirlwind tour of the whole works.
The Fifty Mile View
The first thing you'll want to do is to head to the Stats tab of WordPress.com, once you've logged in. That's going to take you to the fifty mile view, the big picture, of what's happening on your blog right now, in terms of the people visiting and reading it.
From up on high you can get a nice overview of what's currently "trending", or most of interest to the people visiting your blog. And that can give you some ideas in and of itself. But to get right down to business, you'll want to dig into the different sections of your stats, and click through the "summary" sections, where a lot more information lurks.
Days, Weeks, & Months
Let's start with Days, Weeks, & Months. By default, you'll be able to see which days have been most popular in terms of visits to your blog. Clicking through to the "Weeks", "Months", or "Summaries" sections give you some different ways to see how things are going on a bigger scale. As you click through those, ask yourself a couple of questions:
- Are certain days of the week more popular than others? Could it be that publishing on Mondays, for instance, is a bad idea, when every time you publish on a Friday, your stats seem to soar much higher?
- Are there certain weeks of the year when traffic either nose dives or picks up considerably? Does that correspond to your summery fruit punch recipé, or your beautiful photos of an Icelandic Santa's Grotto? How could you create more content to chime in with these seasonal spikes, or avoid seasonal fall off by focusing your attention elsewhere?
Top Posts & Pages
Digging into your Top Posts and Pages gives you a very clear idea of your most popular content. Which is a great way of getting ideas as to the type of content browsers and visitors are most interested in reading. Consider:
- Where are people consistently heading when they arrive at your blog?
- Whether you're making the best of those posts and pages, or if they could use a spring clean?
Checking out your list of referrers will give you a better idea of how people found your blog in the first place. For a lot of people, that will have been through search engines, but you're likely to see all sorts of referrers in the mix. Ask yourself:
- Where are people coming from to find you?
- Is there anything you can do to make it even easier for those people to find you in future?
Search Engine Terms
This one follows directly on from your top referrers. If people are finding your blog by searching for something, what is that they were looking for, and how does that chime in with the post they ended up finding on your blog? Ask yourself:
- What are people searching for when they stumble on your blog?
- Can you do a better job of helping them find what they're looking for, by using clearer wording, or building on that most popular content with more posts, or even a page?
Tags & Categories
Tags, and to a degree, categories are really important, especially in the WordPress.com community, where folks might very well find and follow you in the Reader based solely on how you've tagged your posts. If you aren't tagging your posts, it's a bit like opening a restaurant at the end of a dusty dirt road and not putting up a sign to show people where it is. Looking at your Tags & Categories stats, consider:
- Are you tagging your posts consistently? And putting them into categories that make instant sense to someone browsing your site for the first time?
- Which tags and categories are consistently hot to trot? Can you write more in that category to keep people coming back for more?
How (and if) people are sharing your posts with their friends and online contacts can also be interesting in terms of seeing where you could possibly spend more of your attention. Consider:
- Where are people, if they are, sharing your work? Facebook? Twitter? Elsewhere?
- How could you make it easier for them to do that? Have you, for instance, linked your blog up to your Facebook or Twitter accounts?
Top Commenters
If someone's taken the time to comment on your blog, they're well worth learning more about. Taking a look at this section of your stats, consider:
- Who comments most on your blog?
- Have you visited their blog or commented on their posts?
While we've been mostly interested in how people have arrived at your blog so far, it's also worth considering how they're leaving it. The Clicks section of your stats is useful for learning all about that. Taking a look through this section, ask yourself:
- Where are you sending people once they leave your blog?
- Do you see any relationship between your posts and the places they're headed?
Best Ever
One way to create success for a post is to see what's worked before (see: every film ever made in Hollywood). Clicking on the Best Ever link just under the main stats graph, ask yourself, as you browse the results:
- What was the best ever day for your blog?
- Looking at all of the stats we've discussed above, specifically for this day, what picture do you have about what made that day successful for your blog?
Over to You
I hope this quick overview of your stats gives you some ideas about how you can make better use of them to make your posts even better. Remember, it's not about changing who you are, or what you write, to serve some magical formula, but just a way to get a better handle on what's working, and what's not working so well, on your blog. Having an idea about what makes your readers tick, can, if you're interested in having more of them, be really useful when you're next thinking up a blog post. Stats shouldn't be restrictive or prescriptive, but rather another source of inspiration for where to take your blog next.
How have your stats made a difference to your blogging?

[ How to dispose of unused Rx… ]
Do you have lots of left over medicines that you don't know what to do with? Well, Cathy from Denver sent me information to share w/ you about how to go getting rid of unused meds.
Shannon also sent a heads up about a 'National Take-Back Initiative Day' that is Saturday April 27th. There will be many places across the nation unused drugs can be dropped off. April 1st a list of collection areas will be available! Click Here! Thanks a bunch ladies for sharing this FAB 411!
Consumer Health Information:
1 / FDA Consumer Health Information / U.S. Food and Drug Administration APRIL 2011
How to Dispose of Unused Medicines:
Is your medicine cabinet filled with expired drugs or medications you no longer use? How should you dispose of them?
Most drugs can be thrown in the household trash, but consumers should take certain precautions before tossing them out, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A few drugs should be flushed down the toilet. And a growing number of community-based "take- back" programs offer another safe disposal alternative.
Guidelines for Drug Disposal
FDA worked with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to develop the first consumer guidance for proper disposal of prescription drugs. Issued by ONDCP in February 2007 and updated in October 2009, the federal guidelines are summarized here:
• Follow any specific disposal instructions on the drug label or patient information that accompanies the medication. Do not flush prescription drugs down the toilet unless this information specifically instructs you to do so.
• Take advantage of community drug take-back programs that allow the public to bring unused drugs to a central location for proper disposal. Call your city or county government's household trash and recycling service (see blue pages in phone book) to see if a take-back program is available in your community. The Drug Enforcement Administration, working with state and local law enforcement agencies, is sponsoring National Prescription Drug Take Back Days (www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov) throughout the United States.
• If no instructions are given on the drug label and no
Take drugs out of their original containers and mix them with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds …
take-back program is available in your area, throw the drugs in the household trash, but first:
° Take them out of their original containers and mix them with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter. The medication will be less appealing to children and pets, and unrecognizable to people who may intentionally go through your trash.
° Put them in a sealable bag, empty can, or other container to prevent the medication from leaking or breaking out of a garbage bag.
FDA's Deputy Director of the Office of Compliance Ilisa Bernstein, Pharm.D., J.D., offers some additional tips:
• Before throwing out a medicine container, scratch out all identifying information on the prescription label to make it unreadable. This will help protect your identity and the privacy of your personal health information.
• Do not give medications to friends. Doctors prescribe drugs based on a person's specific symptoms and medical history. A drug that works for you could be dangerous for someone else.
• When in doubt about proper disposal, talk to your pharmacist.
Bernstein says the same disposal methods for prescription drugs could apply to over-the-counter drugs as well.
Why the Precautions?
Disposal instructions on the label are part of FDA's "risk mitigation" strategy, says Capt. Jim Hunter, R.Ph., M.P.H., senior program manager on FDA's Controlled Substance Staff. When a drug contains instructions to flush it down the toilet, he says, it's because FDA, working with the manufacturer, has determined this method to be the most appropriate route of disposal that presents the least risk to safety.
Drugs such as powerful narcotic pain relievers and other controlled substances carry instructions for flushing to reduce the danger of unintentional use or overdose and illegal abuse.
For example, the fentanyl patch, an adhesive patch that delivers a potent pain medicine through the skin, comes with instructions to flush used or leftover patches. Too much fentanyl can cause severe breathing problems and lead to death in babies, children, pets, and even adults, especially those who have not been prescribed the drug. "Even after a patch is used, a lot of the drug remains in the patch," says Hunter, "so you wouldn't want to throw something in the trash that contains a powerful and potentially dangerous narcotic that could harm others."
Environmental Concerns
Despite the safety reasons for flushing drugs, some people are questioning the practice because of concerns about trace levels of drug residues found in surface water, such as rivers and lakes, and in some community drinking water supplies. However, the main way drug residues enter water systems is by people taking medications and then naturally passing them through their bodies, says Raanan Bloom, Ph.D., an environmental assessment expert in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "Most drugs are not completely absorbed or metabolized by the body, and enter the environment after passing through waste water treatment plants."
A company that wants FDA to approve its drug must submit an application package to the agency. FDA requires, as part of the application package, an assessment of how the drug's use would affect the environment. Some drug applications are excluded from the assessment requirement, says Bloom, based on previous agency actions.
"For those drugs for which environmental assessments have been required, there has been no indication of environmental effects due to flushing," says Bloom. In addition, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, scientists to date have found no evidence of adverse human health effects from pharmaceutical residues in the environment.
Nonetheless, FDA does not want to add drug residues into water systems unnecessarily, says Hunter. The agency reviewed its drug labels to identify products with disposal directions recommending flushing or disposal down the sink. This continuously revised listing can be found at FDA's Web page on Disposal of Unused Medicines (www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/ Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/ EnsuringSafeUseofMedicine/Safe DisposalofMedicines/ucm186187.htm).
Another environmental concern lies with inhalers used by people who have asthma or other breathing problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Traditionally, many inhalers have contained chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), a propellant that damages the protective ozone layer. The CFC inhalers are being phased out and replaced with more environmentally friendly inhalers.
Depending on the type of product and where you live, inhalers and aerosol products may be thrown into household trash or recyclables, or may be considered hazardous waste and require special handling. Read the handling instructions on the label, as some inhalers should not be punctured or thrown into a fire or incinerator. To ensure safe disposal, contact your local trash and recycling facility.

Honorable Secretary of State, Ms. Clinton: Our Life is a living Hell...
Almost three-quarters of women from Pakistan's Hindu communities have faced sexual harassment while nearly half, complained of religious discrimination at workplaces, educational institutions and neighbourhoods. A report, prepared by the National Commission for Justice and Peace (Pakistan), states that about 74 per cent of the Hindu women faced sexual harassment.
Pakistan was created as an Islamic nation in 1947, and religious minorities are treated as second class citizens under the country's Islamic laws. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of Hindus have been converted to Islam, and many more have been forced to flee the country. In 1971 alone, the Pakistani Army was blamed for the genocide of over one million of Hindus in erstwhile East Pakistan (present day Bangladesh).
Pakistan Hindu Post requests YOUR support in urging Pakistan, to urgently act to prevent further discrimination and victimization of the Hindu community, especially Hindu women. The slow and steady dissolution of the Hindu minority has to stop.
This petition is addressed to Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State, US Department of State.

Thank you

You can. Tomorrow begins a global conversation on the ways we can use the digital tools to help change the world for the better. This year? You can be there -- and I highly encourage you to do so. The more voices the better, people. The 3-day Social Good Summit opens tomorrow in New York City, with China and Kenya joining in on the action on Monday, September 24 all in service to debating the best ways to use things like social networking and mobile technology in the quest to eradicate hunger and improve health (and health care). I'm here in New York City to join the conversation live but because all of the sessions will be live-streamed and there are hundreds of "meet ups" happening around the world as well, you can easily participate also. And when I say easy, I mean easy.
How can you join the conversation and make a difference in the lives of millions no matter where you live?
The truth is new media, social media, technology - all of these tools - are powerful mechanisms for conversation and, when things go well, the world changes for the better as a result. I write "when things go well" because, of course, technology can and does become the impetus for anger and negativity sometimes. But the ways in which new media, in the hands of passionate, committed, intelligent citizens of the world, has already helped address some of the most pressing problems should be celebrated, understood and harnessed further.
There's a reason this event is held during this particular weekend. It's because global leaders come together at this time every year for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) high-level meetings to discuss major world challenges. What better way to supplement these discussions than with a parallel global conversation on how we - all of us - can and should use technology as a tool to solve some of these major challenges; from eradicating poverty and hunger to improving the health and lives of women and girls in the poorest countries?
I encourage everyone to join with the foundation (one of the sponsors of the summit) and our incredible partners - from Mashable, the United Nations Foundation, and the 92stY to Ericsson and the UNDP. Do you want to be a social media for social good superstar and connect with tens of thousands (maybe millions?) of others, all in service to the shared goals of reducing the number of people who are hungry, who live in poverty, who cannot access the health care they deserve to lead healthy lives, or grow the food they want to take care of their families? Take a few hours of your day, each day - or on one day, to join the conversation. I promise you - your voice counts.

Attention "Friends" fans, Monica and Chandler are getting back together… sorta.
NBC series "Go On," which stars former "Friends" actor Matthew Perry, has cast Courteney Cox to guest star in an episode of the sitcom, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Cox and Perry, of course, played the on-screen couple of Monica and Chandler on the long-running hit series.
According to the story, Cox will play a character who meets Anne (Julie White) and is then set up on a date with Perry. It will mark the duo's first on-screen reunion in almost 10 years.
The cast of "Friends" continue to pop up in each other's projects. Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston appeared on Cox's "Cougar Town." While Cox and David Schwimmer made a stop on Kudrow's "Web Therapy" for Showtime.
The episode will air in April.

Project Pipeline Proposal
For my project proposal, I was thinking a stop motion paper animation. Done the way the first South Parks were done. I've wanted to do a paper stop-motion animation for a long while now, and I finally came up with a concept/story.
I want to use 6 different fairy-tales or folktales transitioning into each other. I was thinking animation tricks could be used to transition between them. Using obvious symbols like, red riding's hood to tell what story is being shown.
Here are some simplified storyboards for the project. I think their should be a few more storyboards to give the project more life, but I just wanted to get the idea across. Please excuse the poor coloring, I just wanted to demonstrate how I wanted to separate the stories with changing the tree colors.
As you can see very rough thumbnails, and I want to explain on each story, give more depth to each story. For the proposal, I just wanted to give everyone a feel for the design of the piece and how the stories would transition to each other.
So everyone can understand the jobs needed for this piece, and in my head this would all be done on paper so keep that in mind.
We have 5 weeks to complete this project, so here is a timeline to keep us on track!
As a side note, I just wanted to add that I own a Cricut, so this means creating the background will not be so hard. we may be able to have the machine cut out the shapes, if the cartridges I have will work with the design.
Thanks for Reading,
4 comments:
I'm in love with fairy tales so this drew me in immediately. Your organization of the idea is easy to read and realistic. I know you mentioned your Cricut for backgrounds but another alternative is combining stop motion with 2-D. After affectd, toon boom, flash, and even photoshop have good layering options.2-D background with cutout animations could potentially make the entire stop motion easier to animate because backgrounds are easier to move digitally than on paper.

Thomas atte Bridge was a man hated by many in the village of Bampton, but did hatred lead to murder? Master Hugh, surgeon and Bailiff to Lord Gilbert is on a mission to discover the person behind the mysterious hanging death of atte Bridge. Staged to look like a suicide, Hugh must discover which one of his friends is guilty of the crime. Who was motivated to end atte Bridge's life?
This fourth chronicle in the series continues the story of Hugh and the people of Bampton. The author, Mel Starr, does an excellent job of transporting the reader to medieval England. When I finish reading his books I feel like I've learned something - whether it's an archaic word or an insight into how people conducted their day-to-day lives. The reader benefits from the author's research (and the handy glossary at the front of the book).
Unhallowed Ground is a well-written and interesting mystery. As a reader, I felt like I was solving the mystery right alongside Master Hugh. The plot is well-developed and the characters are interesting. All in all it was an enjoyable read. This is an author that I look forward to reading again.

Muche's Warbirds
The Planes of Fame
N9MB Flying Wing
In November 1941 Northrop was awarded a contract for the development and construction of the XB-35 long-range bomber. This aircraft, a true flying wing design, was to have a wingspan of 172 ft and be capable of carrying a bomb-load of over 52,000 lbs with a range of 7500 miles. In conjunction with this program, a contract was also awarded for the construction of four operational design models. These 1/3 scale models, designated N9M, were to act as flying test beds and also serve to familiarize Air Force pilots with all-wing operations. The N9MB, which is the sole survivor of the original XB-35/YB-49 long-range bomber program, was restored by an all-volunteer group at The Air Museum Planes of Fame in Chino, CA in a project that took over 13 years to complete. (For more details on the restoration please see The N9MB Flying Wing Article.)

Last year, while mired in his bid for re-election, Mayor Pedro Segarra unveiled a program designed to help undocumented immigrants, the homeless and others emerge from the shadows.
Hartford would offer government-issued ID cards to those disadvantaged residents, allowing them better access to crucial services like skills programs and English language courses. The initiative, heralded as a step forward for Hartford, was to launch in September 2015.
But more than a year later, it hasn't taken off. Segarra failed to secure a second term, and though the program was supposed to be running before he left office in December, a contract dispute prevented its launch.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
PNM alliance aims to split East from NEP[TamilNet, Wednesday, 22 March 2006, 11:10 GMT]The Patriotic National Movement (PNM), an alliance of Sinhala nationalists, on Wednesday formed a "task force" named "Defenders of Eastern People's Rights" in collaboration with Sinhala nationalist parties, Muslim and Tamil groups in the East. The task force was formed after a meeting with the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), MLM Ataulla's National Muslim Congress (NMC), K. Vigneswaran's Akila Ilankai Tamil United Front (AITUF), a break away party of the Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP), and key operatives of Karuna Group, a PNM activist has disclosed to Colombo media. The task force aims to split the East from the North Eastern Province (NEP). The task force "Defenders of Eastern People's Rights" was formed as "common front" to work for the common goals disregarding the political indiferrences between the founder parties, according to the key PNM activist who doesn't wish to be named. Meanwhile, the JVP, a key force in the PNM alliance, released photos taken at the event to the media. The photos excluded certain participants at the meeting. The organizers, according to the PNM activist, have defined the separation of Eastern Province as a "step to safeguard the rights of the people in the eastern Sri Lanka." The main opposition United National Party (UNP), National Unity Alliance (NUA) led by Ferial Ashraff, Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), an all-monks nationalist party, People's United Front (PUF) led by Dinesh Gunawardana, also invited by the PNM, did not attend the meeting, the source further said. |

Web measurement company Quantcast recently began publishing stats on operating system browser share from its sample of quantified publishers. Data shows that in January 2010, Microsoft Windows accounted for 86.8% share of North American web consumption, Apple OS X accounted for 10.9%, and mobile browsers accounted for 1.3%.
Apple's relative share has grown by 29.4% in the past year, while Windows lost 3.8%. Mobile increased the most in the past year, more than doubling its share of web consumption.
Further Quantcast data measured from the mobile web traffic of quantified sites, show that the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch accounted for more than 60% of mobile web consumption in January 2010 in North America. Apple's share has been holding steady over the past year, but Motorola (likely due to the Droid) began to make a dent in the past few months.
The global data represents a less rosy picture for Apple — Microsoft Windows accounted for 93% or more of web consumption in every region except Oceania, which includes Australia.
Quantcast's co-founder and CEO Konrad Feldman said the data represents "virtually everyone" in North America. In fact, it represents everyone who visits one of the many sites that allow Quantcast to measure its traffic. While the list includes many leading ad-supported sites, it leaves out the largest sites on the internet, including Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and Wikipedia. On a global basis, Quantcast claims it reaches a billion people, which means the global data is most likely far more representative than any other measurement firm.

Thursday, July 13. 2006Solaris 10 Partitioning, RAID, and ZFSComments
Display comments as
(Linear | Threaded)
A few comments.
although it's increasingly common to join /usr and /, it doesn't cause any problems (or any work) to keep them separate. I've been building SunOS/Solaris systems for 15 years, and I always and still insist on separation. I don't recall that partitions need to match exactly for metadisk mirroring, although you get optimal space usage if they do. Maybe this has changed more recently, though. Your prtvtoc | fmthard approach is exactly the ideal way to match VTOCs in Solaris, but only works if the disks have the same capacity and cylinder count (which usually means being the same model). If that's not your situation you can still approximate by interactive partitioning in format(1M), but (as above) your partitions may not be exactly the same size, and some space may be lost. Sun Volume Manager (formerly DiskSuite) is actually quite nice in many respects, although it does require a bit of zombie organ-cranking in the setup commands. But you can easily dash out shell loops for this if you take the right strategy with metadevice naming (for example, using d0-d7 to indicate mirrors for partitions 0-7, and d11 for stripe 1 on SCSI target 1, etc.) I've used DiskSuite to build a disk factory for churning out prebuilt system boot disks, for example. Just insert disk, metattach, sync, metadetach, unplug, repeat. metadbs. You need a quorum (minimum 3) of replicas to operate, but you can install multiple replicas in a single partition. I typically put 3 replicas in slice 7 of each disk in my mirrored root volume set, so there are 6 replicas total, and my system remains sane if I pull one of the disks. Be sure not to mirror the metadb slice. :) But all that aside, yeah: ZFS is really sweet. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Solaris partisan, but I'm excited to see ZFS becoming available for other platforms, too.
I too used to keep /usr separate from / on Solaris until recently. I discovered if you transfer a Solaris boot disk from one machine to another and the hardware does not match precisely, you can end up in a situation where you can boot and access the root partition, but /usr is unavailable because the symlinks have not been created in /dev It then becomes impossible to do a reconfigure boot, and you have to devise clever ways to repopulate your /dev directory to get your system booted. It's not impossible, but it creates work where it's not necessary.
[same coward here]
Oh, and thanks for the writeup. I like reading howtos.
To make an AMD system (in my case a Sun Fire X2100M2) bootable I also did the following steps;
To /etc/system I added these lines: set md:mirrored_root_flag=1 set md_mirror:md_resync_bufsz = 2048 To /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc: setprop altbootpath '/pci@0,0/pci-ide@5/ide@1/cmdk@0,0:a' Make the partitions on both discs active (format->fdisk).
Great article.
Solaris is still a strange world to me, and i am learning more and more. This bit was great to set up raid on my sunfire V480 .. although i wish i would have read the comments about more than 2 metadbs so i can still function with one disk (the 480 on has room for 2 internal) also, if someone could clarify, what does all the d#'s do? d11, d20 d20, etc ...
If you're doing a new install of Solaris you better use ZFS raid or mirror. Solaris can now boot from a ZFS disk.

Releases video of Senators, government leaders stressing urgency of passing cyber legislation
Washington, DC- The Financial Services Roundtable (FSR) launched a multi-media, multiple-week advocacy campaign today in the nation's capital, urging the Senate to pass the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), a bill that would enable businesses to voluntarily and bilaterally share cyber threat information to protect consumers from cyber threats.
This advocacy effort is part of FSR's "Stop Cyber Threats" campaign and includes radio, digital and social media ads. The campaign also includes the release of a new CISA video ad. FSR's ads and more information on the Stop Cyber Threats campaign can be found at www.StopCyberThreats.com.
"We need a team America approach to taking on cyber criminals and this bill will help us do that," said FSR President & CEO Tim Pawlenty. "Without a team approach, the personal information of consumers is more at risk and we urge political leaders to collaborate and get this crucial bill over the finish line."
CISA would enable and encourage financial institutions and the private sector to share incoming threat information – not personal information – bilaterally and with each other and the government, creating legal clarity and certainty for businesses of all sizes.
FSR urges Senate lawmakers to continue working in a broad, bipartisan fashion and to quickly send a cyber threat information sharing bill to the President to be signed into law.
Watch the new CISA video ad, "America Cannot Afford to Wait: Pass CISA Now" here: https://youtu.be/EMm04Ot2TG8

The Financial Services Roundtable represents the largest integrated financial services companies providing banking, insurance, payment and investment products and services to the American consumer. Member companies participate through the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives nominated by the CEO. FSR member companies provide fuel for America's economic engine, accounting for $92.7 trillion in managed assets, $1.2 trillion in revenue, and 2.3 million jobs. Learn more at FSRoundtable.org.

RALEIGH, N.C.--Brandon Prust and Lars Eller each had a goal and two assists to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
Eller's goal at 6:09 of the third gave Montreal the lead for good and P.K. Subban added a power-play goal at 7:56 to make it 4-2.
The Canadiens, playing their third game of a five-game road trip, were outshot 43-28 but Carey Price made 41 saves to earn his 12th win of the season.
Carolina goalkeeper Justin Peters, playing his second straight game since being called up from Charlotte of the AHL, made 24 saves on 28 shots.
The Hurricanes had their four-game winning streak ended.
Carolina dominated play in the second period with a 21-5 shot advantage, but the Hurricanes were unable to connect enough against Price, who had given up 12 goals in his previous two starts. Price also stopped Eric Staal's penalty shot with 5:08 left in the second period.
Prust opened the scoring at 3:22 of the first and defenceman Josh Georges notched his second goal of the season at 8:19 and Montreal went up 2-0 in the first period.
Using an 8-1 shot advantage to start the second period, the Hurricanes rallied as Jordan Staal got his sixth goal of the season with a shot from the right circle at 6:07 to make it 2-1.
Drayson Bowman tied it at 2-2 when he scored his second goal of the season at 10:27 of the second.

All school shooting victims first graders—coroner
Newtown—Most of the victims killed in a horrific shooting at a Connecticut elementary school were first graders, and were shot more than once with an assault rifle, the coroner said Saturday.
"I believe they're all first graders," Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver told reporters. First grade in US schools holds mainly six and seven year old children.
"All of wounds that I know of were caused by the long weapon," he said, referring to a military-style automatic rifle found at the scene.

BRIEF-Leonardo to build new plant in Alabama
* U.S. unit plans to build new aircraft manufacturing facility in Tuskegee, Alabama
NEW YORK Jan 23 Apple Inc's Macintosh computer, which celebrates its 30th anniversary on Friday, has attracted many fans who have gone on to buy lots of other devices from the company.
Over a few decades, the cumulative price tag of new iPods, iPhones and other Apple products can get very big, as some aficionados can attest.
Dick Demenus, co-founder of New York-based technology consulting company Tekserve, which started as an Apple repair shop in 1987.
First Mac: The original, bought upon release in 1984 at a Macy's store for $2,500.
Demenus spent an additional $400 for a floppy drive and $600 for a memory upgrade, purchases he now regrets because the Mac would be more valuable as a collectible in its original state.
The big list: Apple products became his livelihood so quickly that the list is not that long. His only additional personal purchase was around 1986, for a Mac XL for $3,500. The company discontinued this rebranded version of Steve Jobs' failed Lisa computer three months later.
Total: $7,000 for out-of-pocket costs.
Michael Rose, veteran editor at The Unofficial Apple Weblog ()
First Mac: A Mac IIsi for $2,780, with a student discount. "It was ridiculously expensive," Rose says. "I don't think I bought another Mac for myself for quite a while."
The big list: Employers have provided most of his desktops and laptops, but he has purchased a few, including a MacBook Air for his wife. Rose also bought a Newton ($600), several iPads, a selection of iPods and several iPhones.
Total: Between $10,000 and $20,000
Laurie Duncan, owner of MacSamurai Consulting and founder of a fan site for owners of the short-lived Power Mac G4 Cube ()
First Mac: A used Mac Classic in 1991, from the classified section of a free paper, for $1,200, plus $1,100 to max out the memory. "It had considerably less memory than a phone has today," Duncan says.
The big list: Duncan switched to a Mac Portable next. She then bought a series of PowerBooks, probably about a dozen over time.
Now Duncan upgrades constantly and says she has averaged about $6,000 a year for the past decade. And yes, she knows that adds up to more than $60,000. "I had 12 iPods at one point."
Her obsession with the G4 Cube, which Apple quickly discontinued, turned into a business that offers consulting services, custom cases, components and repairs. "It's a great machine," she says. "Was it Apple's best mistake? Worst mistake? I don't know."
Total: At least $75,000
Josh Fruhlinger, technology writer and editor, currently head of digital at TMZ.com
First Mac: He bought an Apple IIe with bar mitzvah money instead of going to Israel. "It was $2,500 used," he says. "New, they were $5,000 or $6,000."
The big list: Fruhlinger moved on to a Mac SE, which he bought for about $2,000, with an additional hard drive for $600. Then he found a discontinued PowerBook 100 for under $1,000. Next was a black PowerBook G3 for about $2,000.
From there, he bought an aluminum PowerBook G3, which he used for years, and then he moved to MacBook Pros. Fruhlinger owned every iteration of the iPhone since the first one, paying a $300 upgrade price each time. He also purchased two Time Capsule backup devices ($300 each) and two Airport Express wireless stations ($100 each).
Fruhlinger also owned various iPods, and still uses a first-generation 60 gigabyte one in his car to power his stereo.
Total: About $15,000
Christian Brady, dean of Pennsylvania State University's Schreyer Honors College and a vintage Apple collector
First Mac: A Mac SE from 1989 or 1990. "I still have it my office, and it still works," Brady says.
The big list: Brady switched to a PowerBook 140 for graduate school and spent $3,500 - an entire summer's salary - on it. He bought many others throughout the years, mostly with academic discounts or through university salvage programs.
Brady has more than a dozen old models in his office, most of which still run. He has also bought two iMacs, a Power Mac, a MacBook Air, an iPad, an iPad mini, three iPhones, two Apple TVs, two wireless base stations and numerous music players.
Total: At least $15,000
Mark Alvar Peck, founder and curator of the Apple Museum (), a private collection in the Boston area not open to the public
First Mac: Old ones. "I began collecting vintage Apple products, literature and other memorabilia in 2004 at age 14," Peck says. Most of the items came free, but he did invest in a Lisa and an original Macintosh for about $3,000 combined.
The big list: Now 23 and a professional photographer, Peck has bought six high-end laptops and four iPhones. His hardware collection has more than 200 items.
Total: $18,500 on new Apple products, about $5,000 on collectibles.

If you are a small business owner, you can open a business line of credit or credit card. Purchases made for business purposes can often be deducted at tax time. In addition, if you've been using a personal card for business expenses, you should transfer that balance to a new business account. The process is quite simple, but you must make sure the new account is financially beneficial.
1. Open a small business credit card. Make sure the terms are favorable. Before you are tempted by a teaser rate on a card, make sure to read the fine print. Introductory rates are often followed by high annual percentage rates (APRs) and high usage fees. In addition, balance transfer fees can be quite high.
2. Create a repayment strategy before you make the transfer -- especially if the new business account comes with an introductory offer. You'll want to make sure the new account does not hinder your ability to make your monthly payment.
3. Plan for unforeseen events and calculate what your payments would be if the balance remains after the introductory rate expires. This can be done online with a credit card calculator, such as the one offered by Bankrate.com.
4. Use balance transfer checks to make the transfer if they are available. This is the easiest option. The business account will provide you with checks. Contact your personal credit account lender and ask for a payoff amount, including all fees and interest. Write this figure on one of the checks and send it to your personal credit account creditor.
5. Confirm that your personal account is paid in full. Decide whether or not to keep the account open. If it is a revolving account, the payoff check will not close the account. You can close the credit line by contacting an account servicing representative. (You will need to reapply to reopen the credit line.)
6. Begin making payments on the business account as agreed.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - I finally did it!
I finally did it! Ok, so I asked a question a while back about cichlids in a 10 gallon and was met with hesitation! So, I put the tetras into the 10 gallon and finally got a handful of mawli (spelling?) cichlids last night! Wow!!! Why didn't I do this before! They are amazing fish! So alert and fun to watch! I truly "get" what you all have been saying about falling in love with these critters! Thank you for the advise and push I needed to get this done! I think this is becoming an obsession! :) So, a few questions- what should I feed these little guys to get them fat and happy (they're babies right now) Any words of wisdom I need to know? Off to the board to read as much as I can about these fascinating little fish! THANKS!! |
Seo, were you saying you mix the tetras and Malawi cichlids(unless I am mistaken with Mawli) in one tank and in a ten gallons?:shock: I'll explain as much as I can. 1. Water parameter requirements Tetras originated from soft, acidic waters although you will be forgiven to keep them in totally different water conditions as they have been domestically-bred for several generations so captive-bred ones can adapt better and more quickly than the wild ones. Malawi cichlids, on the other hand, came from hard, alkaline waters. This is beyond doubt quite a large difference between what should be the water parameters for the correct environment for both species to thrive. 2. Temperament Cichlids do have varying personalities however, some cichlids have the personalities too terrible to face with other fish from different origins. Tetras are generally peaceful and will not tolerate being dominated or even constantly harassed by fish whose belligerence is far compared to their counterparts living with the tetras such as the apistos. IMO, Rift Vallet cichlids are not ideal community fish except on their own. 3. Size There is not many Lake Malawi cichlids available in the aquarium trade that will fit the ten gallons perfectly. Lake Tanganyikan shelldwellers however fit the bill. Overall, Malawi cichlids are not your perfect choices. The only cichlids that will fit in a ten gallons are a pair of either of the blue rams or apistogrammas but be careful with this as dwarf cichlids are far too sensitive to water conditions and a small tank often has extreme changes. A bigger tank is more forgiving in this case. |
you said it ... shell dwellers , I love em, they are alert and so comical to watch. I have mutis in a 10 gal. and they are great. mike c. |
Oops! Sorry, my fingers were typing faster than my brain! What I meant to say was that I put my tetras into a 10 gallon and put the cichlids into a 30 gallon! After a few days of watching them, they are still very amazing. Thanks to all the good tips this board has to offer. I can't wait to watch what they do! Thanks for the advice! |

While Carrie Fisher is still flopping back and forth on whether or not she will be in "Star Wars: Episode VII," George Lucas has come forward to set the record straight. He confirms that he was in talks with stars Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill to return to the "Star Wars" franchise before Disney even announced its acquisition of Lucasfilm.
"We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison — or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, 'Look, this is what's going on,'" Lucas tells Bloomberg Business Week. "Maybe I'm not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them."
He adds, "I won't say whether the negotiations were successful or not."
Lucas also opened up to the outlet about the backlash he's felt to the "Star Wars" prequels. It's no secret that many die-hard fans of the franchise feel those movies betrayed them, and he says it's that sentiment that caused him to step away from being a director.
"It was fine before the Internet," Lucas says. "But now with the Internet, it's gotten very vicious and very personal. You just say, 'Why do I need to do this?'"
J.J. Abrams is directing "Star Wars: Episode VII," which is expected in theaters in 2015.

The Lenovo ThinkPad tablet, one of the first two Android slates from the company, has just passed through the FCC, signaling that it's on track for a late August launch. Unlike the consumer-oriented IdeaPad K1, which we reviewed earlier, the ThinkPad tablet is targeted at enterprise.
The FCC filing includes a line drawing of the ThinkPad's backside, but reveals nothing about the tablet that we don't already know. We've seen plenty of leaked press shots previously that show both the front and back sides of the tablet in great detail. Plus, we've also gotten our hands-on videos demonstrating the tablets unique interface.
The ThinkPad tablet will be sporting an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, dual cameras, and plenty of ports including micro-USB and HDMI. An optional digitizer pen for the capacitive touchscreen will also be available, but at an additional cost. The tablet is priced from $499 for the 16GB model and from $529 for the 16GB model plus the stylus.
