Are drivers in Connecticut safe from the chance the airbags in their cars may kill or maim them?
That was one question raised during a heated Senate hearing Thursday on the safety of airbags made by the Japanese company Takata. The inflator on these airbags can break apart, spraying metal shards that have killed at least five drivers or their passengers and blinded and maimed others.
The devices were installed in more than 30 million vehicles made by Honda, Chrysler, BMW and eight other automakers.
Takata maintains the airbags are likely to malfunction only in...

The new home of
Enjoy a holiday cottage break in Oxfordshire where you can combine a first class cultural experience with a restful break to relax and recharge your batteries.
The Oxfordshire cottages here are perfectly placed to help you explore this historic area. Oxford University is actually the oldest English-speaking university in the world, being in existence for more than nine centuries as a place of learning. The colleges of Oxford offer some stunning examples of the classical architecture of its time and there's plenty to explore.
The most famous college is probably Christ Church whose Great Hall inspired Hogwarts Hall in the Harry Potter films and the meadow nearby is grazed by rare breed cattle. Everyone has their own favourite college; Magdalen is particularly famous as its tower dominates the high street. Or you could save yourself a flight to Venice and see Oxford''s very own Bridge of Sighs; it connects the main buildings of Hertford College.
Radcliffe Camera is one of the most recognisable buildings in Oxfordshire, and makes up part of the Bodleian Library. Another favourite for visitors is Carfax Tower; climb to the top and you''ll be rewarded with a spectacular view over Oxford.
Oxfordshire is also home of one of the greatest palaces in the world - Blenheim Palace, a world heritage site and a ''must see''. With spectacular walks around the grounds and access to a large proportion of the Palace rooms themselves, it provides a fascinating day out.
There are some beautiful manor houses and castles that can be visited in the county. Broughton Castle was described as "about the most beautiful castle in all England" by historian Sir Charles Oman in 1898 and remains just as breath-taking today. Sulgrave Manor and Upton House are both well worth visiting, especially on a fine day when you can explore the grounds and gardens in the sunshine.
A visit to Oxfordshire wouldn''t be complete without a trip out to see the famous White Horse Hill; this stylised representation of a horse in the chalk bedrock is thought to be the oldest hill figure in Britain. If you''ve had enough history and ''high culture'' take a drive through Headington to spot the Shark in the Roof, or head over to Crocodiles of the World, the UK''s only crocodile zoo. For speed and excitement, you could go karting, but for a slower-paced way to spend an afternoon you could go fishing, walking or cycling alongside the scenic Oxford Canal.
However you choose to spend your time, there''s certainly something to suit everyone. Take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in Oxfordshire today.

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of normal mouse cerebellum labeled with Phospho-μ-Opioid Receptor (Ser375) Antibody (red) and CREB (86B10) Mouse mAb #9104 (green). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).
The μ-opioid receptor (MOR) belongs to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. MOR mediates the analgesic and rewarding effects of morphine and other opiates as well as the actions of several endogenous opioid peptides (1). Upon binding to its ligands, this Gi-coupled receptor inactivates adenylyl cyclase (1) and activates a variety of G-beta-gamma-dependent pathways including the MAPK and the PI3K/Akt cascades (2,3). Trafficking of these receptors to and from the plasma membrane and their desensitization play a significant role in morphine tolerance (4,5). As with other GPCRs, these processes are modulated by phosphorylation at diverse sites within intracellular domains (6). Among other sites, agonist-specific phosphorylation of serine 375 in mouse (serine 377 in human) MOR is essential for its internalization (7).

Horny Mature Sluts
This site is now called Mature.
This site is now called Mature.
The great thing about being a horny babe is that there's no age limit. It's only the media that make us think getting older means being less sexually active. I think the mature porn niche does a good job of smashing down that stereotype and Horny Mature Sluts is a site that really proves it. Whether she's 38 or 64, she's guaranteed to get off here.
HornyMatureSluts is part of a mature network, so when you login you're taken to its homepage instead of to the one for the site. To get to the site you want, just choose it from a dropdown list. The content is produced in Europe, which means the horny ladies here are from places like Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. For this reason, none of the dialogue is in English, but, like I always say, sexual pleasure has no language barriers.
You get a variety of scenes - and body types - in the 57 videos. Sometimes there's a fat mature mama with pendulous breasts getting rammed with a strapon from a fresh-faced, small-chested cutie. Other times, a stud is fulfilling his fantasy of sleeping with that older lady next door. You'll even get to see bondage scenes. All the videos can be downloaded in great-quality Windows Media files and streamed online. There is also an MP4 format that you can use with your mobile devices.
If you want to watch the action in still images, you can peruse 51 photo sets. Obviously, not all of the episodes are accompanied by pics. The shots are clear and many are even high-res. Conveniently, you can save them in Zip files.
All of the vids and pics are found together in one section, but there is a way to tell them apart. You'll see a thumbnail photo of the model acting as a preview for each scene. However, the vids that don't come with pics are shown to have a much smaller preview image.
If you want even more mature hardcore romps, then you'll be pleased with the other 23 sites that make up the Mature Mega Pass network and that are included with your membership. Check out Mature, I Love Mature, Outdoor Mature and more.
Unfortunately, the site has two drawbacks. One is the fact that nothing new has been added in several years. The other is that the cost of admission is very high. Even though the scenes are well done, Horny Mature Sluts is way too expensive to recommend.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Reviews
2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 (2 Reviews)
This has been a great car for me. Have not had any problems with it since I bought it used in 2010. The convertible top has always worked good as well. I am always getting compliments on what a beautiful car it is. The Mercedes Benz dealership even had it showing in the show room with all the new cars because it was so nice. I had a 2002 black on black corvette before my Benz. It was totaled in the great flood of 2010 in Nashville, TN. The 2007 Benz is what I replaced it with. The only reason I gave the Benz 4 stars in suspension & Steering was because I had been use to corvette's for 10 years prior to this and I don't think anything in that price & category compares to the vette for steering.
Having had any real problems with my CLK 550, just a little wear and tear that was under warranty. Great handling, love the power of the engine. Great curb appeal.

Oppression In The Workplace
by Renard Moreau
I have witnessed with my own eyes the petty victimisation carried out by supervisors; they gave certain employees of theirs a hard time because they hated them for some reason.
Then there are those who are good with the managers; they carry all sorts of news back to the manager about one or a few of the employees and the manager sees to it that those employees who the informer spoke about are given tough tasks at work to do (which is not within their work portfolio or their workloads are increased) or if they are hourly paid workers, the manager would do his or her part to have those employees' working hours shortened.
Some of those who are victimised are aware of their rights, so they take legal action against the company in which they are employed. Whereas, some simply leave and find jobs elsewhere.
Luckily, oppression doesn't happen in every work environment.
However, it is my belief that oppression in the work place should not be tolerated. A person should write a letter or send an email to their human resources manager explaining their situation and if that doesn't work, one can take it to another level by taking legal action against the company.

Derek Hough Is In Recovery And May Return Next Week
October 21, 2009 01:04 PM by Britteny Elrick
Last Monday on Dancing With The Stars, Maksim Chmerkovskiy so graciously filled in for Derek Hough, who stepped out of the competition due to serious illness. It has been confirmed that Derek was infected with a serious flu virus, however, it was not the Swine flu. Although he wasn't able to dance, Derek was still watching from the audience as Joanna and Maksim performed. Keep reading to hear what he told Usmagazine.com about his recovery…
Derek Hough spoke to Us after Monday night's performance. He admitted that he was drugged up during the interview and also hoped that Maks and Joanna's routine would score enough points for him to make a comeback next week. "It was weird" he said of watching his partner dance with Maks. "But they did a great job — Joanna works her butt off!"
"I don't even know how to describe it," Derek said of his illness. "It felt like horse flu! It was unbelievable. I was out." He went on to say that he has never had to step out of the competition before. "Nothing has ever stopped me from dancing but this – I couldn't even move. I was in the hospital, I had IVs in my arm…they had to test me for a whole bunch of stuff. I've never experienced anything like it in my life!"
"I just had to kind of wing it!" Chmerkovskiy chimed in. "I came in and started throwing her around! Joanna did such a great job. Anything will be a piece of cake for her after this."

GE Healthcare Life Sciences inked a licensing agreement that gave it exclusive rights to a suite of mammalian cell-line development technologies developed by Promosome for increasing protein expression in mammalian cell culture. Promosome will receive milestone payments for technology transfer and subsequent royalties upon commercialization.
"The biopharmaceutical industry is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and increase flexibility," said Morgan Norris, general manager for upstream products, bioprocess, GE Healthcare Life Sciences. "Promosome's technologies provide a powerful way to drive up protein yields and, more excitingly, boost the output of cell lines for hard-to-express proteins to a level where large-scale manufacturing becomes viable and previously disregarded therapies can be progressed."
GE Healthcare recently acquired Thermo Fisher's HyClone™ cell culture media and sera. In 2012 the company launched KUBio™, an off-the-shelf modular factory for the manufacture of monoclonal antibodies.

Here's how the state's members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending Oct. 18.
Government funding, debt limit
By a vote of 285 for and 144 against, the House on Oct. 16 sent President Obama a bill (HR 2775) to fund all federal agencies on a stopgap basis, raise the $16.7 trillion national debt limit and end a fiscal and political impasse that had crippled the U.S. government since Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Walkoff magic! Leonys Martin's dramatic homer in ninth lifts Mariners
Most Read Stories
The bill funds the entire government through Jan. 15 at a sequester-level rate of $986 billion annually and authorizes Treasury borrowing through Feb. 7 to meet U.S. financial obligations. The bill also requires a House-Senate conference committee to produce by Dec. 13 a long-term budget blueprint that sets discretionary spending limits and revenue targets and recommends fiscal policies.
Additionally, the bill requires the administration to take further steps to verify the incomes of individuals and households applying for subsidies to buy health insurance in Affordable Care Act exchanges.
Voting yes: Suzan DelBene, D-Medina; Rick Larsen, D-Lake Stevens; Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas; Doc Hastings, R-Pasco; Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Spokane; Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor; Jim McDermott, D-Seattle; Dave Reichert, R-Auburn; Adam Smith, D-Bellevue; Denny Heck, D-Olympia
Funding Indian services
By a vote of 233 for and 160 against, the House on Oct. 14 passed a Republican measure (HJ Res 80) to fully fund and thus reopen the Indian Health Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education during the partial government shutdown then in its 14th day. This stopgap appropriation sought to fund these agencies for Native Americans at sequestration levels through Dec. 15.
This was the 14th and final bill passed by House Republicans since Oct. 1 to fund specific agencies or programs while leaving the remainder of the government closed. The Democratic-led Senate shelved all of these piecemeal measures on grounds that the entire government deserved to be reopened.
Voting yes: DelBene, Hastings, McMorris Rodgers, Reichert
Voting no: Larsen, Kilmer, McDermott, Smith, Heck
Not voting: Herrera Beutler
By a vote of 81 for and 18 against, the Senate on Oct. 16 sent the House a bill (HR 2775, above) to end a 16-day partial closure of federal agencies and avert a U.S. debt default the next day or soon thereafter. In addition to provisions noted above, the bill authorizes $350 million for rebuilding roads and bridges in flooded areas of Colorado, retroactively pays the salaries of an estimated 800,000 civil servants furloughed during the shutdown and approves a $174,000 death benefit for the wife of the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.
The bill also provides $3.1 million for the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board, a panel established in 2004 to protect citizens' rights against intrusions by post-9/11 laws such as the USA Patriot Act. Additionally, the bill authorizes $2.2 billion to advance the Olmsted Locks and Dam navigation project on the lower Ohio River between Kentucky and Illinois.
Voting yes: Maria Cantwell, D; Patty Murray, D

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Season 4 Christmas Special: Another Death Coming?
After Downton Abbey Season 3's high body count, it's understandable fans have some concerns about who might not make it out alive during Season 4. So should we stock up on tissue boxes and cartons of ice cream? Sure, but you won't be needing them for Downton Abbey, show execs say.
"Nobody dies, that much I can tell you," executive producer Liz Trubridge says of the Season 4 Christmas special. December 25, 2013, of course, will mark the one-year anniversary of Matthew Crawley's (Dan Stevens) sudden departure from the series.
"I am sorry about last year," Liz continues, "but what do you do when you have a treasured character who wants to leave? But we won't do that this time!"
Phew because, honestly, we're not sure how much more death we can handle at Downton. Even the Dowager Countess's (Maggie Smith) brief one-episode brush with illness had us hyperventilating.
Although the Grim Reaper won't be visiting the Crawleys again any time soon, don't expect the show to be short on drama. Liz calls this year's Christmas Special "the most spectacular" one yet.
The episode's storyline isn't set at the holidays, she continues, and won't split up the family from the servants. We've already seen some special photos from the final days of shooting and already heard Cora's American family — mother Martha (Shirley Maclaine) and brother Harold (Paul Giamatti) — will stage a return, much to the dislike of the less than pro Yankee Dowager. Hey, at least you're around to see them, Violet.
What do you make of the news no one dies during the Christmas special? Relieved or not sure we're out of the woods yet? Share your feels in the comments below.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Ranked inside the top 10 for the first time this season, the ninth-ranked Mississippi State men's tennis squad (16-8) will open up the 2013 SEC Championship in Oxford, Miss., against the No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats (19-10) Thursday, April 18. The match is set to begin at 6 p.m. CT at Ole Miss' Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center.
The winner of Thursday's second-round match will move on to face top-seeded and second-ranked Georgia Friday at 6 p.m. CT.
State, who has won three of its last four matches, has faced Kentucky three times in SEC Championship, having won two of those contests. The most recent matchup came in 2006 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., when the Bulldogs defeated the Wildcats 4-2 to advance to the semifinals. The teams last meeting overall was earlier this season, when the Wildcats claimed a first-round win over the Bulldogs in the ITA National Team Indoor Championship in Seattle.
Leading the way for State in singles is the 1-2 combo of freshman No. 12 Romain Bogaerts and junior No. 55 Malte Stropp. Bogaerts, who is 15-5 this season and 6-3 in the SEC, has won 13 of his matches at the top spot. Stropp, who has garnered 13 victories this spring, has picked up four of those against a ranked opponent.
In the middle of the MSU lineup have been senior James Chaudry and freshman Jordan Angus. Chaudry has won nine matches this season, with eight of those at the No. 3 position. Angus has claimed 15 wins this spring, tying Bogaerts for the most dual match victories this season.
Anchoring the Maroon and White order is junior Zach White and freshman Pedro Dumont. White has won eight matches this spring, with six SEC wins as well. Dumont has won 12 matches in dual match play, including winning his last five matches.
Also seeing considerable time in the Bulldog lineup this season is freshman Stefan Vinti, who has picked up four victories this spring.
In doubles, the 10th-ranked duo of Angus and Stropp sit atop the MSU lineup. The top 10 team has won nine matches this spring, with six xoming against ranked opponents. Following suit for the Bulldogs is the duo of Dumont and Ethan Wilkinson (2-2 this spring) and the team of Bogaerts and White (2-1 this spring).
The Wildcats are led by ranked singles players Anthony Rossi (17th) and Tom Jomby (21st), while in doubles UK is paced by the ninth-ranked duo of Jomby and Kevin Lai.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
What you probably need is called an injuction. This involves filing a complaint, showing irreparable harm, an affidavit and a brief. These are most commonly seen in cases involving noncompete situations. If you have a noncompete agreement, it often helps, but it is in now way dispositive. It all depends on the facts and circumstances. Usually better to use an attorney for something like this, if you can afford one.
The forms are available on line. There are a number of companies that offer them.
The procedure is that the complain is filed and served. The affidavit and brief go in with it. Then there is a hearing shortly thereafter, usually within a week or two. If it is a real emergency, the case can be heard sooner.
You mention that this is a silent partner/employee. If it is a partner, they will have defenses (they own part of the business as a partner), so factor that in. It would be a good idea to speak with an attorney in a consultation before you proceed. Initial consultation should be for free. You might speak with 2-3 attornies first. Then decide if you want to go ahead on your own, use an attorney, or find another way to resolve the situation. My concern is the partner aspect, as they will say they have a right to do what they are doing. If there is a noncompete and it is enforceable, then you have a shot.
Hope this helps. If you need more, just let me know.

Hello All!
In our second episode of Waffle Bites, Reesi interviews one of our most prominent Bear theorycrafters – Fasc.
I hope you enjoy the interview.
Fasc hit the nail on the head for me when he said, "Tanks are control freaks. We want everything to be guaranteed…I'm going to control everything about my gear, and I'm gonna overanalyze the crap out of it."
That, combined with me staring at a week-old combat log at the same moment Reesi is saying she nigh-obsessively peruses combat logs made me a happy panda.
Keep up the Wafflenoms, folks. I always learn something new.
~Ssunflash, A-52
I thought this was a great interview, Reesi allowed him to speak at length without interruption. Great job.
Love it! Great to hear both of you…I now read all your posts with your voices in my head.

Articles :: High Hell: A 530J Overclocking Story Part One :: Motherboards.org
Tulatin · 08-26-2005 · Category: Guides
In the end, we've shown something that overclockers have known for years here today - that like many other lower cost products, our little chip had massive potential. Yet, in the end this potential was cut short by the weak stock cooling, which failed to dissipate the incredible heat loads the chip put out under full load. Thus, with this limitation, we'll be forced to wait until we procure some quality liquid cooling in order to stabilize this 33% overclock and then some. Until then, you can rest assured that I'll be pushing this system day and night, in hopes of cracking this minimal barrier, in my quest for a sub 30-second SuperPi time. Until then, keep riding the Overclocking Redline.

On Tuesday of last week the Rev. Garret Conover Schanck died at his home
at Marlboro in his 83d year. He was a son of DeLafayette Schanck, a tanner
and currier at Matawan, and afterwards a successful farmer, who died in 1862 at
the advanced age of 81 years. Mr. Schanck graduated at Rutgers college in 1828
and in 1833 he was licensed to preach. For a time he preached in Western New
York, Ohio and Kentucky. He afterward was located at different places in
this state. In 1852 he quit preaching and settled down on his farm at Marlboro,
which he conducted up to a recent period, when he turned it over to his
son, Lafayette Schanck. In addition to farming he was engaged in the various
business enterprises of his neighborhood. He was for twnety years a director
of the Middletown Point bank, and for fourteen years was president of the
Freehold and Keyport plank road company. he also was engaged in mining
speculations in Nevada and Colorado. At one time he with his wife traveled
extensively on the Pacific coast. In 1866 he was chosen a member of the board of
trustees of Rutgers college.
Mr. Schanck was twice married. His first wife was Sarah Ann Hendrickson,
a sister of ex-Senator William H. Hendrickson; his second waife was Jane
McCormick, daughter of Hugh McCormick, of Fairfield, sho still survives him. he
also leaves surviving him four children - Lafayette, a well-known citizen of
Marlboro, who occupies the old homestead of the family; Ellen, widow of the
late Dr. English of Freehold; Mary, wife of Samuel Jones, a well-known farmer of
Freehold township; and Martin, a farmer now residing near Jacksonville, Florida.
The Schanck family from which Rev. Garrett Schanck descended, dates in authentic
records now in his library, from A.D 878 or 880. The family in America dates from
the 28th of June, 1650, when Roelef Martense Schanck, the ancestor of the American
family, landed at New Amsterdam.

Formed in 1996, they played consistently for two years in and around the north eastern United States, opening for The New Bomb Turks, Nashville Pussy, Blonde Redhead, The Make-Up, The Dirtbombs, The Chrome Cranks and The Demolition Doll Rods. Originally they didn't even want to release an album opting to have the band's live reputation spread via word of mouth. Eventually, the trio reneged and put out a self-titled six song e.p. on Sonic Unyon records in 1998.
In 1999 they released the self-produced My Love Is Bold E.P. and achieved national exposure with the single "Bounce". They were nominated for a Juno in 2000 for Best Alternative Album.
In 2001 Bad Taste Records of Lund, Sweden released a compilation of the band's early recordings, demos, and b-sides entitled, I'm Alive and On Fire. A 5 week European tour followed to promote the release including shows at the Roskilde festival in Denmark and Hultsfred festival in Sweden and by the end of the year they had returned 2 more times, most notably as main support for the Backyard Babies.
In 2002 they released their first full-length album, Born A Lion, produced by Bill Bell, on Bad Taste Records in Europe and on Universal in Canada. The band did several European tours and two Canadian tours to promote the record including an unprecedented repeat performance at Roskilde and the now legendary return to Hultsfred as well as notable stops to Pukkel Pop in Belgium and The Lowlands festival in Holland. They also managed to grab the opening slot with The Rolling Stones on their "40 Licks" World tour kick-show at the Palais Royale in Toronto, Canada on August 16, 2002.
2003 saw the release of We Sweat Blood, produced by Matt DeMatteo, and the group taking a heavier approach to their hard-rock sound. More touring followed that included Europe and Japan.They were also nominated for two Junos, Best Rock Album and Best video.
While success was happening abroad, home relations with Universal Canada had soured and the band was dropped mid-album run. Explanations from the label were vague, but speculations point to Jones' February 2004 appearance on CBC Sunday re: file sharing where Jones appeared as a pro-downloader opposite then CRIA president, Brian Robertson (Canadian Recording Industry Association). Putting their money where their mouths were the band uploaded 5 never-before-released "web exclusive" songs for free download which remain on their site ([1]) today.
Getting dropped from Universal did little to stop the group as they continued to tour heavily for the rest of the year well into 2004 with bands like Turbonegro, Sepultura and The Bronx. While touring they managed to pick up another Juno nomination for Best Rock Album and tour Australia as well as more European dates including Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park in Germany and Download, Leeds and Redding in England.
Early 2005 was taken up by recording the follow-up to We Sweat Blood, but not without a series of tours amidst recording that brought the band to Holland, Germany and South Africa. In April, American label, Razor And Tie released We Sweat Blood and the band set out to America in support as well. Working two releases simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic proved quite hard and the worldwide release for the upcoming album, Sleep is the Enemy, produced by Matt DeMatteo, was pushed back to 2006.
During the summer and fall of 2005 the band toured America heavily with two of We Sweat Blood's singles being second most added to active rock radio in America ("Lovercall" and "Forget My Name"). Stateside tours with Flogging Molly, Our Lady Peace, The Supersuckers, and (The) International Noise Conspiracy followed.
In January and February of 2006, under new Canadian label, Aquarius Records, the band set out to do their first Canadian tour in almost 4 years opening up for Nickelback. Many were confused by the decision to tour with the multi-platinum radio friendly band whereby Jones shot back, "We get to play in every NHL Hockey arena, sold-out in our home country. You do the math.". With the release of Sleep Is The Enemy came more touring including America and a headlining European club tour with Brant Bjork & The Bros. as support. The summer saw them perform at Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park, With Full Force and Wacken Open Air in Germany; Hellfest and Furiafest in France, Metaltown in Sweden, Tuska Festival in Norway, Pinkpop and Lowlands in Holland, Ruis Rock and Anka Rock in Finland, Gampel in Switzerland and Wireless in the U.K. among at least a dozen more.
In October of 2006, a 2 week tour of Norway saw the band play with ex-Kyuss frontman, John Garcia who appeared on the song "Invisible" off of Sleep Is The Enemy. They performed a set of songs that included Thorn (Unida), Allen's Wrench (Kyuss), and Senor Moreno's Plan (Hermano). Garcia flew out to perform again with the band at the last show of their tour in Toronto this past December 2006.

Hi all,
First time posting here, and in a bit of a bind. Any advice would be much appreciated.
- Mail has been backed up in queue for about 24 hours.
- Zimbra has been installed and running well on our servers for over a year. Current version: 8.0.4_GA_5737
- It is on a Xen virtual server
- I don't currently have access to the virtual server running Zimbra, nor the Xen Dom0 (But do have root on other virtual servers on this machine)
- I have full admin access to the web interface.
- Primary server admin is not accessible for a few days.
- about 800 messages are in the Deferred Mail Queue (and growing)
More info:
- content filter: smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
- Reason: Host 127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1] said 421 4.3.2. service shutting down, error writing to mail file: no space left on device at (eval 113) line 180. (In reply to end of data command)
- it looks like the amavis disk use has maxed out the space available
Screen shot 2013-10-02 at 2.12.01 PM.jpg
So ... I know that if I had access to the server right now I restart amavis/zimbra and things would likely be fine, but that doesn't appear to be an option in the next day or so.
Any other help or advice, either to solve or isolate the problem would be much appreciated.
thanks all

9 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in rnds (k every rnd). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch

1. Beanie is worked in the rnd with double pointed needles. 2. When knitting in the round on double pointed needles (dpns), your sts should be divided fairly evenly onto the needles. When working with a set of 5 dpn, your sts should be divided among 4 needles. The total number of sts will not always be evenly divisible by the number of dpns that you are using – this is not a problem! Simply divide your sts as evenly as possible, you will still create a symmetrical 'tube' of knitting.
BEANIE Cast on 48 stitches. Divide sts onto 4 needles, with 12 sts on each of 4 needles. Place marker for beginning of round.

California dreaming: Meet Zlatka Paneva, LA's hottest printmaker…
Zlatka Paneva is the talent and brains behind Los Angeles' hottest artwork, Rococco LA. Her work is a careful balance between colour and design, reality and the surreal. These quirky pieces are intriguing and cleverly detailed and we've fallen for pretty much every one of them. We caught up with Zlatka to talk us through her artwork, love of animals and her future projects...
How did you get started?
All my life I have been an artist. I received my MA in fine art and have not stopped. I started the Rococco-LA series in 2011.
What inspires you in your work?
Life, things I read or hear, things I see around me, my aim is to speak through images. At the moment it's deserts, cacti and Rock & Roll. For me they are symbols of a perfect balance of function, beauty and longevity.
You feature a lot of animals in your designs. Do they have a significance in your life?
I love animals and am fascinated by them. When I was growing up I loved Aesop's Fables and I feel that sometimes it's easier to make a point, express emotions or deliver a message by using animals as characters.
What other artists do you admire?
Magritte, Christian Marclay, Urs Fisher , Richard Prince, there are so many...
How long dies it take to complete a print?
It varies, I begin with an image, phrase or emotion and then I mix reality, images along with my imagination and infuse it with elegance and a sense of humour. This process can takes hours, days, and sometimes even months.
How much does your LA location play a part in your work?
I can't express it better than Edward Abbey: "There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience, and then there is California."
Which is your favourite print?
It's always the last one I work on because I am still emotionally connected with it
Which print is the most popular?
The Happy Elephant - I think it makes people smile.
Any new projects in the pipeline?
I'm working on a new series of artwork with Pottery Barn - I can't reveal any more...but as you can imagine I'm very excited.
Like what you see? Shop for a piece of Zlatka Paneva artwork at ACHICA from Sunday 2nd Dec 2012.

NEW DELHI: JP's sudden move to bring back Rajnath Singh as party president to replace Nitin Gadkari may provide some reprieve to the main opposition but the decision is likely to pose fresh challenges in the run-up to the next general elections.
Analysts say Singh's return, coinciding as it does with the ascent of Nehru-Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi in the ruling Congress, may necessitate a swift call on the prime ministerial candidate of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. BJP may not have the luxury of postponing this decision for too long, they say, because of the need to speedily dispel any impression of a match-up between Singh and Gandhi in the next Lok Sabha polls. At the same time, the party will have to tread carefully on building a consensus around the candidature of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi because of JD(U)'s stated opposition to bringing him to the centre stage.

Well, my dreams of years past have finally come true--almost. If all goes as planned, I'll have a new recumbent bicycle soon.
But I wonder--for those of you with experience (without discussing you-know-what ) what are the practical and safety measures that are unique to recumbent bicycling, especially for commuting in rush hour traffic?

PISCATAWAY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IEEE, the world's largest professional organization advancing technology for humanity, today recognized the 30th anniversary of IEEE 802.3™ "Standard for Ethernet." IEEE 802.3, the foundation for today's world of high-speed communications, was first approved as an IEEE standard on 23 June 1983 and since then has been regularly updated to address evolving market demand by delivering increased capacities and features.
"On May 22nd, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the invention of Ethernet at Xerox PARC. Now, on June 23rd, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ethernet's standardization by IEEE 802®. Of course, Ethernet has been standardized many times since 1983, with IEEE 802.3 incorporating rapid Ethernet innovation while maintaining a high degree of backward compatibility. From 2.94 Mb/s to 100 Gb/s, from thick coax to thin, to twisted pairs, to fibers, to 'Wi-Fi®,' from CSMA/CD buses to switching hubs, to access points," said Bob Metcalfe, Ethernet inventor and now Professor of Innovation at The University of Texas at Austin. "By 1983, there were people buying Ethernet whom I did not know personally. By 1985, there were people whom I did not know inventing Ethernet. And they continue doing so today with great success using the open standardization processes of IEEE. Congratulations, and thank you."
With more than 1.2 billion ports deployed in 2012 alone1, Ethernet is a technology that impacts day-to-day life globally. Initially developed in order to standardize connectivity among computers, printers, servers and other devices inside a local area network (LAN), IEEE 802.3 Ethernet touches a tremendous range of established and emerging technologies, including data-center networks, personal computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, subscribe access, cellular backhaul, power infrastructure and smart meters, personal medical devices, the Internet of Things and connected cars.
Part of the IEEE 802 suite of end-to-end networking standards, IEEE 802.3's success—from its inception through today—has been its open and transparent development process, which is noted for its rigor and rooted in consensus, due process, openness, right of appeal and balance. The standard's ongoing development process is open to anyone, and all stakeholders directly participate in its ongoing refinement.
"Thousands of individuals throughout the Ethernet ecosystem have participated in the development of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard over the last 30 years," said David Law, chair of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group and distinguished engineer with HP Networking. "The spectrum of stakeholders in the standard's success is global and diverse, from individuals employed by manufacturers, to individuals employed by users, to individuals in academia, to name just a very few examples. The efforts of all of them have contributed to the standard's amazing success."
Added Paul Nikolich, chair of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee and IEEE fellow: "The fact that almost all information flowing in the Internet is possible because it is transported over a flexible IEEE 802.3 Ethernet-compliant infrastructure is a tribute everyone who has in some way contributed to the standard's development, refinement and expansion. Throughout its history, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group has reacted well to emerging global market needs. I applaud the effort of the thousands of individuals who have contributed through the working group and to the development process itself."
Innovation of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet is incessant. Frontiers of development for the standard address market needs such as reducing the number of wire pairs required to deliver Gigabit Ethernet for in-vehicle networking and infotainment, energy efficiency and power over Ethernet. Ethernet underpins the Internet, Wi-Fi, Big Data, cloud computing, the smart grid, computer gaming, eHealth, industrial automation and numerous other high-tech applications. Also, IEEE in April 2013 announced the launch of an IEEE 802.3 study group to explore development of a 400 Gb/s Ethernet standard to efficiently support exponential network bandwidth growth.
"IEEE 802.3 standardization has always been market-driven and rooted in openness and due process, and its success in contributing to technology innovation and global market growth is indisputable," said Konstantinos Karachalios, managing director of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA). "We join the global Ethernet ecosystem in celebrating IEEE 802.3's 30th anniversary, and we look forward to the transformations in the way that humanity lives, works and plays that the standard's ongoing innovation enables in the decades to come."

Today I'm saying farewell to an old friend who has been with me every day since September 2010. Let me be clear, there's nothing wrong with the phone (apart from the battery lasting about 3 minutes between charges!), but it has value right now, I'm guessing in the region of say, 1,500-2,000 RMB. Holding on would only erode that value. That's what I told myself anyhow. So I guess predictably, I'm the owner of a brand new iPhone 5.
I've been a bit sheepish about announcing this to the world (in as far as you can be sheepish while publicising the event on your blog!). I hate the idea that people might think I'm one of those crazy, materialistic people who trade up as soon as the next model is released. I'm not. I completely ignored the 4S when it came out. But the old iPhone 4 is starting to show its age, creeking under the pressure as the new apps continually stretch its modest processor. And the camera can take 10-15 seconds to warm up before it will allow me to snap a picture.
First impressions? Well, it feels exactly like the old phone, except faster, more responsive, lighter and of course, it's longer. Here are the key improvements (over the iPhone 4, not 4S):
- Longer length allows an extra row of icons / folders on the screen which makes a big difference and also makes it much easier (less scrolling) when reading material.
- New "Earpods" are significantly better than the headphones previously supplied with older models.
- Comes with Siri which is better than you might think if you've not used it before. I've asked it for football results and it finds them for me within seconds and you can send emails or ask it to wake you up at a certain time, all without needing to touch the screen.
- "Panorama" function allows you to take ultra wide images by panning across the scene and works seamlessly. I had an app that did this on the old phone but it was pretty rubbish.
I actually traded down in terms of memory from 32GB to 16GB after I checked my old phone and found I had only used about half of its capacity, mainly because all movies and TV shows were long ago transferred to my iPad. After deleting some superfluous apps and photos, I was comfortably within the 16GB limit of the cheapest iPhone 5 model.
One thing I love about iPhones is that any time you change phones, the sync process means that within minutes, your new phone is basically an exact clone of your previous phone. Everything is copied across. Even my alarm wake up call was already correctly set in the new phone and the call history list was there to. Amazing!
I did freak out slightly when I checked the call time. I had the phone less than 4 hours but it was showing that the aggregated call time was one day and 21 hours. Had I been sold a used phone? In a panic, I went on to Google and quickly found out that when you sync a new phone, it copies across your call time. So my ole iPhone 4, over the course of 2 years, had mad calls lasting 1 day and 21 hours (2,700 minutes). It doesn't really make sense to me to carry this across to a new phone, but it's nice to know that I haven't been scammed!
So, who wants to buy a mint condition, boxed iPhone 4, once used by a famous China blogger. For Caturday fans, at least 50% of all Caturday pictures were taken on this phone making it a rare collectors item for true Tommy and Hui Hui fans!

We've always used the twilight check in at Gatwick. However, this next trip, we have to leave from Manchester and they don't do a twilight check in.
So, I thought OLCI may be an option. I have a few questions...
What information do I need to do OLCI?
My plane leaves at 1.30pm....does this mean I can check in 1.30pm the previous day? (this is what I'm hoping as we will be setting off from home by car for the airport about 2pm the previous day)
If OLCI works....do I just turn up the next day at the airport for baggage drop or can you do this the evening before?
Any hints and tips appreciated

At once a throwback to the days of Capra and Sturges and a wholly contempo item, "Snow Days" is smarter and more appealing than many other recent romantic comedies.
At once a throwback to the days of Capra and Sturges and a wholly contempo item, "Snow Days" is smarter and more appealing than many other recent romantic comedies. Cast consists mostly of young faces, with a few vets thrown in, Bernadette Peters prominent among them. Latter's name, pic's inherent charm and exhibitor-friendly length make "Snow Days" a natural for a specialized distributor looking to nurture fresh talent. It's also a good bet that the film's savvy creators, Adam and Kipp Marcus, will soon be touted as a filmmaking team to watch.Investing the pic with a wry sensibility and a keen eye for the quirks in human behavior, helmer Adam Marcus (New Line's "Jason Goes to Hell") and brother scripter Kipp, late of "The New Leave It to Beaver" series, also throw in a few twists on the boy-meets-girl paradigm. A tight seven-minute prologue provides all the exposition needed to understand James Ellis. As a boy, he watches his parents split up and his mother (Peters, never better) wade through a succession of suitors whom James collectively dubs the International House of Boyfriends. The clever use of subjective camera angles cements an early identification with young James (Kristopher Scott Feidel), whether he's watching his mother make one mistake after another or listening to his Grammy (Judith Malina) warn him about love: "In this family," she cautions, "the men leave and the women go crazy." A quick dissolve skips ahead 14 years to one magical snow day when James (Kipp Marcus) meets his neighbor Sarah Milson (newcomer Alice Dylan); they strike up an immediate friendship. With terrific economy, the film lays all of this out before the opening credits roll. As best friends who see each other on breaks after she's enrolled in a New York City college and he's gone off to a culinary institute, Sarah and James are attracted to each other but cannot seem to move beyond friendship — until one night they stumble into their first kiss. Later, thrilled and confused, she tests him with a misguided preemptive strike. The kiss was a mistake, she asserts falsely. Crushed, but anxious to comply, he agrees. When James tries to tell her what he really feels, it's too late — Sarah has left to study in England — but he makes it his mission to win her back. Moving to Gotham, he spends his lonely evenings at a downtown club where victims of love share their tragic — and sometimes hilarious — tales. There are delicious bits throughout the film, like a montage of James on the rebound dodging a succession of nutty girlfriends. Supporting parts are exceedingly well cast, including Henry Simmons as James' best friend and David Deblinger as his boss. Tech elements are well above average for an indie pic, thanks in large part to the crispness and clarity afforded by shooting on 35mm stock. Only toward the end does the "Capra-corn" flavor seem too sweet; pic loses a bit of its edge as it defies reason and rushes to find a way for Sarah and James to work things out. On the whole, however, "Snow Days" is a well-crafted, tautly edited and briskly moving ride.

Quality standards
Music | Connick and Nelson do well with traditional pop favorites
Like the culture they reflect, the Grammy Awards have become so Balkanized by categorical subdivisions and politics that many recordings which might have once been up for "Album of the Year" now get shoved aside to make way for acts whose trendiness makes them as likely to jack up viewer ratings as to be forgotten in 10 years.
Nevertheless, some signs of stability, diminished though they are, remain. Two "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album" nominees in particular, Harry Connick Jr.'s Your Songs (Columbia) and Willie Nelson's American Classic (Blue Note), hold out hope that someday the national soundtrack might once again reflect more permanence than trendiness, more unum than pluribus.
The very fact that the music-American popular songs, aka standards, in this case-can unite two so dissimilar performers speaks well of its power to bridge gaps. (The quadruple-married, marijuana-legalization advocate Nelson, for instance, is only eight years younger than the once-and-still-married Connick's drug-testing-advocate and former Louisiana-districtattorney father.)
The albums' performance on various sales charts underscored their unifying potential. Connick's album reached the top 10 not only in the United States but also in Australia and New Zealand. The statistics amassed by Nelson's album were not as impressive, but, considering how many times Nelson has recorded standards, and quite a few of them more than once, that American Classic even came close to the country top 10 (it reached 14) strongly suggests that a healthy appetite for freshly roasted chestnuts remains.
The Catch-22 facing any album of standards, of course, is that such albums by their very nature comprise songs that have already long existed in definitive versions. So it is that in recording "All the Way," "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)," Connick risked disappointing such formidable contingents as fans of Frank Sinatra, the Carpenters, Elvis Presley, and Tony Bennett, respectively.
Nelson, on the other hand, went even further out on a limb. Besides braving songs long associated with golden-throated singers ("On the Street Where You Live," "Fly Me to the Moon," "Come Rain or Come Shine"), he revisited "Always on My Mind," the Presley obscurity that Nelson topped the charts with nearly 30 years ago.
What keeps Your Songs and American Classic from reeking of the commercial desperation that has clung to Rod Stewart's and Barry Manilow's recent series of "oldies" albums is that neither Connick nor Nelson seems to be aiming for any goal besides serving the songs as well as their talent and other natural inclinations will allow.
And while those with a low tolerance for bathos could've done without Connick's revival of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" and Elton John's "Your Song," those with a low tolerance for climate-change hysteria will gladly make room for Nelson's "Baby, It's Cold Outside."
This year's Grammys also highlight another case of inadvertent political incorrectness. The Australian hard-rock juggernaut AC/DC, whose multi-platinum Black Ice (Columbia) is one of the more deserving nominees for "Best Rock Album," was informed just before Christmas that an outdoor Austrian date on the spring leg of its 2010 tour might be canceled.
The reason: BirdLife International believes that AC/DC's notorious decibels will "endanger" a colony of curlews. (Ironically, a live version of the group's 1980 single "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" appears on Backtracks, a just-released collection of rarities and videos.)
Conservatives torn between whom to root for should ask themselves which is freer: a world in which AC/DC cowers before animal-rights activists or one in which activists cower before AC/DC.

Keri Stephens' BlogIntellectual Adrenaline Junkie experiencing & studying this communication technology-filled world!
Communicating With Workplace Technologies
I have taught the undergraduate version of my organizational communication technology course for the past four years and in the Spring of 2013 I will share this course with another colleague in my department, Brenda Berkelaar. This class really keeps me on my toes because I need to update literature, activities, YouTube videos, and all that stuff that keeps changing with technology changes. One of the most satisfying experiences I have had teaching this course is that several students have emailed me after getting their first jobs and said that the class really prepared them for the communication challenges and opportunities they face at work.
It was a discussion in this class in 2008 that made me stop and think about what we really mean when we describe someone as a "multitasker." I spent the next two times I taught the course trying to understand more about multitaking, the use of that word in job advertisements, and why this expectation from employers stressed out my students. It was these discussions that prompted me to begin a research study on types of multitasking and in January 2012 the study was published. Teaching and research really are linked and I find that my students not only benefit from learning about the latest research, but they also help me identify trends and important topics to study.

My volvo has 94k on it right now, and I'm trying to decide what to do. Had it in the shop last week and need a new rear differential ($1700) due to a bearing in the viscous coupling. Also need a new timing belt ($575). They recommended a turbo hose replacement, transmission fluid flush, etc. Now I've got a small oil leak. The car is paid off...don't know what to do!

Washington State, California and USC kept their NCAA tournament hopes alive last weekend.
"So you're telling me there's a chance?"
OK, maybe it ranks close to Lloyd's prospects with Mary in "Dumb and Dumber." But as we sit on the front doorstep of March Madness, I'm contending there are more than three obvious candidates for the NCAA tournament from the Pac-10. In fact, the belief here is there are three others that can make it, and they don't even have to win the Pac-10 tournament next week.
No, there won't be six Pac-10 teams in the dance. Odds are against four. And the road is laced with potholes for USC (17-12, 9-7), California (16-13, 9-8) and Washington State (18-10, 8-8).
But their last set of games proved to be revival week for all three programs. USC swept the Arizona schools, Cal took two in Oregon and WSU shattered Washington's aura of invincibility in Seattle.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
So yeah, we're saying there's a chance. A closer look:
USC: Millennia from now, archeologists will stumble upon ancient ruins and wonder how the Trojans lost to Rider (by 20), Bradley and TCU. But Kevin O'Neill's teams tend to be mercurial, like he is, and they also beat Texas, won at Tennessee and played Kansas to a two-point loss in Lawrence.
They're 4-4 against the RPI top 50, and a lot of teams will be going to the tournament with lesser juice in that metric. The TCU (RPI 202) and Bradley (243) defeats are computer-ranking killers, putting USC at 81. So a win at Washington would be a major boost.
Cal: The Bears (RPI 67) played the league's toughest schedule (19th-ranked nationally) and that always turns committee heads. Problem is, Cal had two of its five RPI top-100 wins by Thanksgiving; it's 5-12 against the top 100.
Of these three hopefuls, the Bears stand to have the least chance to do the damage they might need, since they finish with Stanford and figure to play USC or WSU in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament. They're 1-5 against the top three in the league, so a pair of two-point defeats to Arizona (one in triple OT) could be a dagger.
They also better hope no committeemen were watching the day they scored five points in the first half against Notre Dame.
WSU: The Cougars (74 RPI) have more opportunity than Cal, with a home weekend against the LA schools, plus the likelihood of meeting Washington again in the Pac-10 tournament.
WSU (6-7 against the RPI top 100) is also getting helped by a push toward the NCAAs from Gonzaga, Baylor (two victims) and Kansas State (a five-point loss).
The Cougars' problem is more tangible. They don't match up especially well with big front lines, and they haven't beaten UCLA in Pullman since Klay Thompson was riding Hot Wheels — 1993. That's a fairly ridiculous streak in the era of a good many mortal Bruins.
And what's more …
• Not only is USC (which has won four straight) taking Fridays off, O'Neill describes a dramatically reduced routine for the Trojans — an hour total of weightlifting and shooting on Mondays, an hour practice Tuesdays and 35 minutes of stretching and practice on Wednesdays.
• The strange quote of the week comes courtesy of Cal coach Mike Montgomery, who was reprimanded for broadcast comments he made on the Washington trip three weeks ago: "The comments I made were on radio. They weren't for the public. Somebody decided to listen and blog it. And when it becomes blog, it becomes public." Oh.
• The UW-WSU rivalry is feast or famine for either side. The season series hasn't been split since 2003.
• O'Neill on his crosstown rival: "I can't believe UCLA is not ranked this week. I think it's an absolute travesty." Pretty good point, since the Bruins are 21-8 and there are four Top 20 teams with eight or nine losses, one of which, St. John's, is a recent UCLA victim.
• In Atlanta, Georgia State fired ex-Ole Miss coach Rod Barnes. His interim replacement for the Colonial Athletic Association tournament is none other than assistant Paul Graham, he of the 9-63 Pac-10-games record at Washington State from 1999-2002.

Azerbaijan's Ministry Issues Licenses to 2 Mobile Operators
Published on: 27th Dec 2005
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.

.- Local police have begun offer protection to the president of the Italian Bishops' Conference, Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco of Genoa, because of threats made against him over his comments on the legalization of homosexual unions in Italy.
Police officials decided to provide the archbishop with security after the Cathedral of Genoa was defaced with graffiti in an apparent reaction to the archbishop's comments.
Archbishop Bagnasco became the target of harsh criticism from gay activists after he criticized a measure that would legalize same-sex and civil unions.
"Why not say no to various forms of living together, to the creating of alternative forms of the family? Why not say no to the incest of a brother and a sister who live together and have children in Great Britain? Why not say not to the party of pederasts in Holland?" the archbishop asked.
He warned that the passage of laws legalizing such unions would open the door to all kinds of perverse relationships and would be difficult to roll back.
