This is a follow up to my crazy
mdadm problem. I'm trying to figure out what might have caused
sda to get out of sync in the first place. The only thing I can think of is that I had just run a bunch of updates and was rebooting to reload the kernel upgrade. Is it possible that both drives hadn't synced? would the system prevent a reboot if there was mdadm syncing going on? could it be made to? any other suggestions as to what might have happened? and how it could be prevented in the further. Nothing seems to be wrong with the drive.
This is a follow up to my crazy
It certainly does on a clean shutdown:
Even if your system crashes in the middle of a write, the driver does take care to mark blocks as dirty while they're being written to, and to resync dirty blocks if it starts from an unclean array. See the comments regarding array states. The kernel documentation warns that arrays that are both dirty (not cleanly shut down) and degraded (having missing pieces) are not assembled automatically as this wouldn't be safe. When you assemble a dirty array, you'll (possibly very briefly) see it
What md won't protect you against is data corruption due to a Byzantine failure (i.e. silent flipping of one or more bits) in RAM, CPU, motherboard, or disk. The disk hardware has checksums, but they're not perfect (see e.g. Zfs promotional literature). Zfs and Btrfs can protect against storage device corruption. Btrfs's checksum tree ensures that you will be notified if your hard disk flips a bit. Zfs offers a choice of checksum (according to Jeff Bonwick's Blog), up to SHA-256 which protects not only against random corruption but even against deliberate attack, at the cost of CPU cycles.
Did you create the raid1 bevore you put a filesystem onto it? If not - did you shrink the filesystem before making it a raid device?
If you did not the result might be a bad superblock on your raid-device.

7 Smart ''Unschooling'' Tips to Practice Now — Even If Your Child Is in ''Regular'' School
2 of 8
2. Content: Learn Beyond the Classroom
"Real world" learning outside the classroom can often be much more enriching than classroom learning, Aldrich said. Therefore, immersion experiences like internships shouldn't be reserved for college students and high school graduates, he said. A younger child who loves animals can learn a lot by spending a day at a farm, while an older child can explore a possible career path by spending a school vacation week observing at a veterinarian's office.
Expose your child not only to great books that he won't come across in school, but also to today's technological resources, such as blogs and Excel spreadsheets, which he'll encounter often as an adult, Aldrich advises.

Thanks for the flash back to my old stomping ground! Nice shot!
we're not suppose to go that far
Wow! Grate shot!
If I'm not mistaking this might be neighboring city of El Segundo, nestled between Manhattan Beach and LAX.
The smoke stacks and that heap of metal just look way out of place.
I've been to this spot. It looks much more romantic in this photo. The colors are gorgeous.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments.
When did I miss this photo. What a brilliant shot. Pleasure and Industry mixed together. The whole concept has made for a good combination to create a cultural difference.
I love what this picture is saying
i could use it like a poster on the wall....amazing photo
Impressionante, os contrastes...
I like the thought behind this - one of those that makes you feel uncomfortable. Well done
Sometimes when you have the 'near perfect shot', it takes the element of patience to take 'near perfect' to 'perfect'...and this picture demonstrates that. Great work John
A really 'cool' shot, with the sodium lights warming it up. Another wait for it photograph, that rewards the photographer with outstanding results. The tiny surfer coming out of the huge ocean, is a focal point, sharing all of it with the industrial site. All so well framed. j.e.s.
nice ,good job
Nice shot but hasn't this been posted here before? I have seen it somewhere prominent on NG
awesome work. i love it
hauntingly beautiful
absolutely amazin!
This photograph makes me feel sad. The beauty of nature, (the ocean), mixed with technology right there together, just doesn't seem right for me. Interesting picture but really makes you think.
Many people must have thought Manhattan beach-LA is located in the island of Manhattan-NY LOL
amazing idea for Productions.
beautiful. this is a great photo :)
Beautiful composition and lighting! I love the story this photo tells.
As a high school student with a passion for photography, Nat Geo always provides inspiration!

This is not final. There are about 15- 20 meters of the wild coast! Very good shot!!
Catching the conditions for this shot is nothing short of genius. Hat's off to you Mr. Goodman.
great real-life story!
@Janice H. Janice I kinda of you hear you on this but if it weren't for your computer you would had never seen the photo. The ocean water cools the Plant, the Plant gives energy, the Energy turns on our computers, the computer gives us photos to look at. Its kind of like some people not wanting to see where their hamburger meat comes from.
Regards and acknowledgement for your concerns of natural/technology balance.
@Mairead K. Great pictures! I'd follow you on Instagram, but I don't have a smart phone. Have you decided where you want to go to college?
@Stanislav Tibatin well said!

Chemistry Shot Glasses for $8
Keep the C2H5OH flowing!
Constructed from plastic, each shot glass measures 2'' in height, holds up to 1oz. of your favorite liquor, and is styled in one of 4 different chemistry lab beaker designs.
8 Comments add a comment
Great for chemistry teacher friends...
First, this is only $2 off. Second, the two beakers look the same, apart from the color. Third, these "glasses" are plastic, which is just wrong. Fourth, since when did these guys move on from t-shirts?
I know, I know, not enough holiday spirit(s) and these would definitely help to rectify that, but add shipping to this and it becomes a little excessive. Unless you're struggling to find a gift for your younger sibling, who happens to be a Chem major/grad student.
Price is $10 at checkout for me. $9.99 shipping? This item is not returnable? I'll pass.
It would almost be cheaper to buy actual lab glass.
@joemarfice: I don't see shot glasses, but yes lab glass can be cheap:
You can get a dozen 50ml beaker "shot" glasses for about $20.
I thought shot glasses were typically between 1.5 and 3 oz? these only hold 1oz...
Dang - the shipping is more than the product! That's a shame - I was going to buy these for my kid to play with. She loves her "Lab Rat" woot shirt because the "mouse is doing science" - not for $20 though.

Melanie Velez '01
As an attorney with the Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR), Melanie Velez '01 spends her working hours defending the rights of convicted felons. And that doesn't bother the married mother of one at all.
"We represent folks that society has given up on and others that society treats as invisible," says Velez, who came to the Atlanta-based SCHR after three years at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York. "My job is to advocate for them, to fight for some measure of equal justice in a criminal justice system that is regularly used to target poor people, African-Americans, Latinos, and, increasingly, undocumented immigrants."
Velez's most recent victory garnered national attention and sent an Alabama sheriff to jail. The sheriff had been feeding his inmates on less than their $1.75-a-day food stipend and pocketing the difference—to the tune of more than $200,000. And it was all in accordance with an Alabama law that Velez calls "an archaic piece of legislation that certainly doesn't promote good governance."
Citing ample evidence of underfed prisoners, the judge in the case sided with Velez and the SCHR. He held that the sheriff's actions were a blatant violation of past agreements that his prisoners be properly cared for. Velez and the SCHR are now working to change the law that allowed for mass inmate malnourishment. "It feels that what we do here is really necessary," says Velez, "and there aren't many others that do it."

Suppose there is a person who openly denies the divinity of the Torah, breaks the Sabbath and declares himself an atheist, but goes to synagogue for the sense of community or for cultural reasons. Can he be counted in the minyan, lead the prayers, or read from the Torah? I am asking of course from a traditional or Orthodox perspective.
Sign up

I haven't seen it inside, but:
See here.
No. In general, if the person is willing to violate the sabbath in public and even in front of a great rabbi, we assume he cannot count for a minyan. Rabbi Nachum Rabinovitch, (All Jews Are Responsible for One Another, from "Tradition and the Nontraditional Jew") based on the Rambam, says that chilul shabbos may not disqualify them if they are a tinok shenishba, but they have to accept the halachik requirements of a minyan to be counted for one. The Rambam said that the kaarites could not be counted for a Zimun because they rejected such halachos, so they cannot just be counted in for social reasons.
The Rambam writes in his introduction to Perek Chelek that anyone who does not believe in his list of 13 fundamentals is not included in "Klal Yisrael." R' Yaakov Weinberg understood this to be true even if the person does not believe through no fault of his own, such as never having learned it. R' Weinberg explained that this is the case because these principles are necessary to having the correct relationship to Hashem, and if one is lacking in any of them, even by accident, they still will not have an accurate relationship with Hashem, and therefore cannot be called Yisrael.
Source: Recorded shiurim of R' Weinberg
That being the case, it would seem anyone who rejects one of these principles (one of which is the divinity of the Torah) does not have a relationship with Hashem, is not called "Yisrael," and could not be counted for a minyan.
one doesn't have to also be an apikores someone who simply does not keep shabbos is not to be counted as part of the minyan. this is the straightforward halacha
here are some things to consider though. there are no apikorsim today. in order to be an apekoris one has to have a great deal of Torah knowledge and understand everything that one is rejecting to begin with. This does not fit the description of many people and possible no one in our time.
The baalei teshuvah movement has grown and continues to grown over time. consider that many people who have reconnected with yiddishkeit would have never done so if they were thrown out of synagogue or even slighted by not being counted in the minyan. After all a yid is a yid and this person coming to the shul is there to learn about something completely new to them that they didn't even know existed or didn't really understand before.
makes me think of the case of which a husband and wife divorce and remarry and therefore and not allowed to remarry each other. however, a genuine teshuvah can bring them back together.
I'm sure you can find better written answers in halachic guidelines written specifically for this subject as it is most relevant in kiruv type shuls. as of right now I am unaware of a specific source for such a thing but perhaps if you go to the aish hatorah website or chabad.org they can help you find something
of course an apikores doesn't count for minian, but is not so simple to categorize someone as such, usually people are defined as a kidnapped baby

BEREA, Ohio (June 25, 2012)--Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III says the arrest of former Baylor basketball player Richard Khamir Hurd, 25, in an alleged extortion attempt is a good lesson both for himself and other NFL rookies.
Hurd was released from the McLennan County Jail Monday after an initial appearance in federal magistrate's court following his arrest in connection with the alleged attempt to extort "a substantial sum of money" from the Baylor Heisman Trophy winner.
Griffin, who's participating in a youth clinic this week as part of the league's rookie symposium, would not comment directly on the arrest, but said his situation reinforces the stories rookies are hearing from former players during their four-day orientation program on problems they may face as professionals.
"There's vultures out there, people looking to climb on top of all your money," Griffin said.
Hurd waived a preliminary hearing in magistrate's court, which means the next step in the case is for prosecutors to present evidence to a federal grand jury.
Court officials wouldn't say Tuesday when the next grand jury meeting is scheduled.
If he is indicted, his next hearing will be an arraignment in magistrate's court from where the case would be moved to U.S. District Court.
FBI agents arrested Hurd Friday night in Waco.
He's charged with interstate communication containing a threat to injure the property or reputation of another person.
An affidavit submitted for the arrest warrant says on June 18, Hurd contacted a representative of an agency in St. Louis who is identified only as "B.D."
In January Griffin selected Ben Dogra of CAA Sports as his agent, but the affidavit doesn't refer to Dogra by name.
The affidavit also doesn't identify Griffin as the target of the extortion, but authorities confirmed that he was.
The affidavit said Hurd told B.D. "he had derogatory information on a client of B.D., and that he intended to release that information to the media to damage or injure the reputation of B.D.'s client unless the client paid Hurd a substantial sum of money."
The affidavit doesn't disclose and authorities aren't saying what the supposedly damaging information involved.
Hurd set an initial deadline of 1 p.m. on June 18, but later extended it.
The agency, its attorney and B.D. agreed to pretend to go along with the demand, reached terms on an amount, and arranged to turn over the money to Hurd Friday at a local business where the former player was given a check, the affidavit said.
An undercover FBI agent was present and arrested Hurd a short time after the transaction.
Hurd's bond was set at $25,000, but he was released from jail at noon Monday without posting the amount.
Hurd was a walk-on at Baylor in 2004 and played there for four years.
Griffin, who passed on a final year of eligibility at Baylor to enter the NFL draft, was the No. 2 overall draft choice of the Washington Redskins.

Grid Pagination Using Different Params for start and limit
I am building a grid with pagination using a PagingToolbar and a Store created from a ScriptTagProxy using a JSONReader. My problem is that the remote json feed is a google base feed and I cannot change the pagination parameters that it expects: start-index and max-results instead of the start and limit that Ext wants me to use. My question is, is there a way I can change these parameter names, I know that the ScriptTagProxy supports changing the callback parameter name so I was hoping that this sort of functionality would also be supported by the PagingToolbar or Store objects.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Not the solution I was hoping for
I can figure out how to send the appropriate parameters to the server but there is something built into either the Grid, Store, or PaggingToolbar that is looking for the 'start' property in the params object and it's causing me huge headaces ( I have to apply something directly to my forehead ). Anyway the PaggingToolbar will display the total number of records fine and the total number of pages correctly but the text 'Displaying 1 - 25 of 151' looks like this 'Displaying NaN - NaN of 151' and the Page textbox on the toolbar shows the same thing 'NaN' instead of a page number. I believe that this is because something cannot calculate the starting index for the grid because I am not passing the 'start' parameter. Any help in figuring out how I can fix this would greatly be appreciated.
27 Jun 2007 11:16 AM #4
You still have to set those properties, regardless of whether you're passing additional ones to the server (and ignoring start and limit). Alternately, you could modify the code of PagingToolbar to use different names.Tim Ryan

Had to modify code
So I figured out that PagingToolbar will use the start and limit even if you never pass them in the original params object when calling the Store.load() method. I can understand why it is done the way it is but I think that I might not be the only person who might want to use different names instead of start and limit. Also figured out that PagingToolbar always assumes a zero indexed list of results. i.e. if you want your first page index to be 1 instead of 0 you are going to run into issues. Again, my case is a little unusual b/c I cannot change the server-side code I'm using google base as the server I'm sending my requests to so these are issues pertaining to integrating the PagingToolbar with data comming from google base.

How to change "start" and "limit" keyword
I have the same problem, I use a server of which I do not have control
and this server uses ":START" and ":LIMIT" in the place of start and limit.
I see it's possible to change params using beforeload event.
Can I have more explications? A sample code?
Thanks a lot

When adding a Google Custom Search box to my site, does that help SEO, and does it influence regular Google web results? If not, does it provide me with data to help me optimize my website?
Using Google custom search will not affect your pages' rankings. If you're looking for data that will help optimize your website sign up for a Google Webmaster Tools account. It offers a bunch of useful information for how Google sees your website and even allows Google to communicate problems to you.
it seems that this may have an impact, as explained here:
There are many articles that support the rumor of Google custom search engine helps your SEO. I am not sure if it doesnt make any difference on the SEO or if it improves the revenue but its for sure its the best promo message for Google custom search. If there is anyone who has checked seo impact from google custom search usage in his site, please share your story :)

Time Wasting Causes Madrid to See Yellow
Yellow cards are soccer's version of probation. Go "in the book" and, the next time you cross the line, you're gone. The Laws of the Game have a whole range of relatively minor offenses which are punishable by the yellow card, or "caution." The problem is, once you've been cautioned, you sometimes feel as if you can get away with more because awarding a red card is still a major decision for any referee. Particularly when your yellow card is for one of the many offenses that fall under the rubric of "unsporting behavior" such as shirt-pulling, time-wasting or obstruction. Get a caution for one of those and, odds are, you're pretty much in the clear: cases of players being sent off for two such offenses are extremely rare.
It's a bit like the hypothetical judge who is quick to put a young man on probation for minor drug violations but then is extremely reluctant to lock him up when he reoffends.
In that sense, Saturday's game between Deportivo La Coruña and Real Madrid may have made history. The match was about to go into injury time when referee Alfonso Javier Alvarez Izquierdo awarded a free kick to Deportivo, the Spanish Liga's cellar-dweller, a few yards outside and to the right of Madrid's penalty area.
Deportivo was losing 2-1 at the time and, with the clock ticking away, everyone expected a long, looping Hail Mary type whack into the Madrid box, hoping for a deflection or a header or even a deflected header to equalize: in those situations, you can't really be picky.
Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria went and did what many are taught to do in those situations: He tried to delay the free kick, partly to waste time, partly to allow his teammates at the back to ready themselves. He stood maybe a yard away from the ball—rather than the mandatory 10—and, just to be sure, gave it a little kick, forcing his opponent to collect it and place it back on the spot.
The referee, perhaps predictably, showed him the yellow card and told him to retreat 10 yards. Not great, but not a tragedy either: with just a few minutes left he had taken one for the team and eaten up a bit of the clock.
Di Maria didn't immediately retreat, he lingered, knowing that every second wasted was a bonus to his team. What happened next, was downright remarkable, though maybe it should not be: Alvarez Izquierdo made a beeline for him and showed him a second yellow, which, of course, equates to a red card and a sending off. Di Maria will now be suspended for next weekend's "Clasico", the uber-grudge match against archrival Barcelona.
Two yellow cards in 11 seconds, both for unsporting conduct: records on this are patchy, but it's likely Di Maria made history of the dubious kind on Saturday night.
The rule book leaves little doubt: the referee was justified. Both were "bookable" violations. The fact that they came within 11 seconds of each other is irrelevant. So is the fact that, while what Di Maria did was annoying and unsportsmanlike, it was neither violent, nor dangerous, nor cheating of the kind that gives one team a significant advantage.
And yet, while Di Maria was obviously foolish to do what he did, you can't help but have a teeny, tiny bit of sympathy. Folks simply don't get red cards for this kind of thing. In fact, before Saturday, getting a caution was sort of like a license to commit the exact same offense in rapid succession.
It's something of a flaw in the game and the way the Laws are applied. The most glaring example concerns goalkeepers who waste time. Their team will be leading late in the game and, the next time they get a goal kick, they'll tarry, dilly-dally and linger to their heart's content: they'll bounce the ball, place it on the ground as gingerly as you would a newborn, wave their arms and adjust their hair, gloves and shorts. Standard operating procedure is for the referee to warn them and then show them a yellow card. Which is fine, though it's no deterrent whatsoever, because the next time they get a chance they'll do exactly the same thing with impunity, as no referee wants to make history by sending off a goaltender for time-wasting.
What is supposed to be a deterrent effectively becomes a get-out-of- jail free card.
But maybe Saturday night will change all that. Perhaps referees will no longer live in fear of sending off players for openly flouting the Laws of the Game simply because they've already been booked.
It's harsh on Di Maria, but, heck, somebody needed to be the first. As long as he's not the last, events on Saturday night might actually be a step forward.

Looking at the chart of cardinals in Kanamori's book, one realizes that all large cardinals are implied by stronger ones and imply weaker ones. For instance measurable implies Jonsson which implies zero sharp which implies weakly compact which implies Mahlo which implies inaccessible. So it seems as if all these large cardinal assumptions are linearly ordered by consistency strength. Is there a some assumption above ZFC that is not implied by and does not imply any of the linearly ordered large cardinals?
By the well-known Levy-Solovay theorem, large cardinal properties are preserved under "small" forcing. Therefore CH is an assumption above ZFC which is not settled by large cardinal axioms.
Woodin's Ω-conjecture implies that all large cardinal axioms are well ordered under the relation ``its consistency implies the consistency of''. See his paper in the Notices 2001/7. For this, of course, he does define what a large cardinal is.

I noticed that my iPhone's Wifi performance sometimes lagged and so I did an experiment. From exactly the same place in my living room, within seconds of each other, my iPad showed around 6Mb down and my iPhone 5 showed less than half that, around 2.5Mb.
Can someone suggest why they think this might be?

Duracell 9 Volt Procell Professional Alkaline Battery, Pack of 12 for $16 + free shipping
12 pack of Duracell 9 volt batteries for $16, free shipping!
4 Comments add a comment
I'm getting $18.50 + $5.82 shipping = $24.32. What's the deal?
@jaballer: Click on the "More Buying Choices" on the right.
FWIW, we used to use these by the crate at the police department, and they we very frequently dead in the box. We had much better luck with Duracells off the shelf at the local OfficeMax.
One warning about buying large battery packs from Amazon - do it only if you trust the "stupid shipping gang." Last time I tried to buy batteries from Amazon, they threw them in a box with one air pillow pad, and they were leaking battery acid by the time they got to me thanks to the poor packing + shipping wear and tear.

Teen birth rates have declined for more than ten straight years, and health educators are hoping the trend continues.
The Barren River District Health Department put on a "health for life" health fair Wednesday at Bowling Green Junior High.
Members of the health department's "Teen Outreach Program," or "TOP," ran a booth dedicated to preventing teen pregnancy. The health fair also included a teen panel on the subject.
Seventeen-year-old Jessica Beason is one of five teens sharing their real life experiences in hopes that what happened to them doesn't happen to someone else. What Jessica had to say was she was pregnant when she was only 13 years old. She says she wanted to grow up too quickly and escape what she calls a sometimes dysfunctional family. Now she has a strong message for other students that age.
"Don't get pregnant; don't get pregnant and don't have sex unless you're ready and know all the complications that come along with it. If you are not ready for that, you shouldn't have sex.
It's advice organizers hope these students will take to heart, especially coming from teens who have experienced the consequences. Like the rest of the panel, Jessica is now balancing school with taking care of a child. She says her goal is to finish high school next year.
May is National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month. To find out more about the teen outreach program, call Carol Kersting at the Barren River District Health Department, 270-781-8039 ext. 134.

Review from The Wirecutter: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-headphones-under-30/
Gah, I just ordered 4 of these mere hours ago! I guess I'm only out a few bucks though, they were still under $7 each.
I already owned a pair, I'm actually just now replacing my set that disappeared from my desk over the holidays. They have surprisingly decent sound- I think they have the 4th highest rank on head-fi in the "in-ear/universal fit" category, alongside headphones that cost hundreds of dollars. The fit is also nice, the large part of the buds rest nicely in your ears, so you don't need to wedge the tips so tightly into your ear canal.
Know that they only come with one set of tips, sort of on the small side.
Performance to price ratio is really high on these-- same goes for their DJ headphones (rebranded Kickers).
@rune: Awesome review. Made my purchase based on the recommendation, and can't wait to be blown away but <$10 headphones.
I got a pair of these before Christmas, and they're fantastic (especially for the price). One tip that I read elsewhere - the stock tips might not fit your ears perfectly, but you can swap out tips from other earbuds to find a good fit. I'm using the ones from a broken pair of Skullcandies right now on these buds.
hands down the best budget earbuds, buy these if you need some they're really good.
Must be me but I bought these in the past based on the reviews and was not impressed. Switched out the tips to get a better fit etc and still not as good as the reviews suggested.. They are cheap enough that you should give them a try though to see what you think.
This review on Youtube suugests I'm wrong as well.
@l4m3r: According to the monoprice facebook page, these now come with 3 sets of tips.
Listening with my pair right now...good sound. However, not good for working out; the cloth wires shock me when I get sweaty, and they don't stay in my (admittedly radar-dish sized) ears.
Tangle worse than others as well; still not dissapointed I have them, but will probably spring for better next time.
Finally bought a set of these after seeing so many good reviews... very very disappointed, empty lifeless sound.
I've found spending 20 bucks on decently reviewed sets on amazon to be much more effective.
I think these have become over-hyped. If you go into the purchase expecting $5 earbud quality, then these will surely impress you. If you go in reading all the reviews and expecting $200 sound coming out of these you will likely be disappointed. They are very good for the price but are not miracle buds. All that being said, buy one and try them out or to have a spare set!
@wseren01: I've made my monoprice headphones retractable. You can google "DIY retractable headphones" and there's an instructables post about how to get it done(it involves taking apart a retractable usb cable and putting it back together). It's a fun project, but also a little frustrating, but since I did it, my headphone cables never tangle up.
Got several pairs of these - excellent sound quality (especially at this price level), and the fabric-covered cables mean they rarely get tangled like plastic-coated ones do, which is definitely a plus!
bought two of these and works amazing
Ditto on the small tip size and large nautilus shell body size.
I replaced the tips with some I had and they are far and away the best earbuds I've owned. WELL worth the money.
For anyone sitting on the fence, do it. They have excellent sound and perfect bass for everyday use. I listen to everything from rock to classical to dubstep. These sound great for all genres.
Ugly as sin but sound pretty darn good. I'm not sure, but this seems like regular price anyway...if not, they're usually less then $10 shipped all the time. Monoprice is the bomb!
These seem like a good deal...I just wish they had an L-shaped jack.
i have 2 sets. these easily compare to $40 earphones. the over the ear cable setup might throw some people off but i feel they are a much better fit that way and do not get pulled out of your ears.
you should buy a few sets, they are worth it, if only for backup buds.
Bought two of these last time since they were so cheap. I'll keep them as a backup pair. I can't speak to their quality because they're so enormous I can't listen to them for more than 5-10 minute stretches. If I could go back in time I wouldn't buy them, rather have a pair that fits better and doesn't sound as good than a pair I can;'t wear at all. Hopefully they fit you guys better
I bought these a while back and was not impressed at all. Maybe it's just my ear shape, but they sounded pretty bad and had almost no bass. They were also kind of awkward to wear. Plus the cord tangled like crazy.
I am one of those CRAZY headphone nuts. I have owned about 20 pairs in the last year or so. I need help.
Anyways, even with all the High End Ear/headphones I have tried. The 8320 remains one of my favorites. It is so smooth, so neutral. Easy to listen to these for hours with no fatigue.
I use the Comply T-400 tips with mine.
OH, not on sale, but there is now a "Black" Version of these as well.
Where do you find the shipping on these?
I looked last night but couldnt figure it out... must be missing something.
Thanks in advance.
I picked up at pair of these based on review and was very disappointed. They sounded exactly like what they are...a cheap pair of headphones. Sound was muddy with a very small sound stage. Changed the cheap standard tip with a set of double flange tips that create a good seal and sound was still disappointing. The fit also was uncomfortable and awkward. Considering the buds they get compared to they were a bust IMO. For a cheap pair of buds I guess they are ok, but honestly I think the cheap buds that come with most devices perform just as well, if not better.
I really like these. I like having an extra set in my gym bag and an extra in the car. I have found it pays to have the extra set and not have to buy a set at a convience store in a pinch. These are a good buy.
Lifehacker also gave a good "best-bang-for-the-buck" review of these a little while back: http://lifehacker.com/5927570/the-monoprice-8320s-are-the-best-earbuds-youll-find-under-10
"Shipping From Rancho Cucamonga, CA" Cucamonga! LOL.
Should be noted that after shipping, if you have an Amazon Prime account you're better off clicking the link to amazon on their site. Same headphones, but you get them with 2 shipping for .96 cents extra.
I found them to be over rated for sound quality and really heavy and uncomfortable to wear.
I'm in for two, my wife goes through earbuds like tic tacs... Actually, she's had her current pair 6 months, a new record!

I'm curious if there have been any studies that can tie office temperature to productivity. Is it better to be warm or cold or 'just right'? Is there a standard temperature that is best for everyone, or is it a personal preference?
Is there a business case to be made for buying an air conditioner or turning up the heat?

Mr. Daniels' recipe for reform
Immediately after he left the Indiana governor's office Jan. 14, Mitch Daniels became president of Purdue University. Mr. Daniels, who was renowned for his fiscal acumen during eight years as the Hoosier State's chief executive, had an interesting request with regard to his compensation. He insisted the university pay him $420,000 a year, instead of the $555,000 his predecessor earned. He could make up to 30 percent in bonuses if his job performance is deemed satisfactory.
Hopefully, Mr. Daniels' decision will establish a pro-accountability climate at the university. As the Wall Street Journal noted in a Jan. 9 editorial, the ranks of Purdue's administration have bloated since 2002. Yet, as the Journal put it, "Mr. Daniels' example is a sign that he sees himself as a steward of the dollars of state taxpayers — and it is also an implicit rebuke to the growing class of professional academic administrators who nominally run the joints."

This bothers me now for a while: I have a huge list of Zombie processes whenever my system runs for a while as you can see in my gnome-system monitor. The list is so long that it is hard to find even other processes. Even though the Zombie processes take up almost no resources, this can't be normal. How do I track down the problem / parent process? Using
ps -ax doesn't provide much info (see below).
Thx for help!
Looks like Tomboy is the culprit!

I want to book a ticket to Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. Where in the concert hall should I prefer to sit?
The concert hall is structured as many others: A relatively large seating area in front of the stage. And then there are two floors of balconies all around the hall (even behind the stage).
Any recommendations, tips and tricks would be appreciated.

For Seniors: Share a Google Maps Location with iPad 2
Google Maps on iPad 2 lets you quickly locate homes, businesses, or landmarks. Share the information you find via e-mail so that your friends and colleagues won't have to look it up as well.
For example, suppose you've just heard of a great new restaurant in your old neighborhood. You can look up the restaurant's address in Maps on your iPad, and then e-mail it to your old buddies along with an invitation to meet there for lunch next week. Easy as pie!
Now, after starting Maps and searching for an address, business, or destination, it appears on the map with a red pin. You use this pin to access the location's information and send it along to someone else.
Go to a location on the map and tap the pin.
An information bar appears above the pinned location.
Tap the Information icon.
The Information dialog box appears.
Tap Share Location.
An e-mail message appears. Use the onscreen keyboard to enter a recipient's e-mail address and any Cc/Bcc addresses, and add or change the subject or message as you like.
Tap Send.
A link to the location information in Google Maps is sent to your designated recipient(s).

Tax favoritism raises questions
The continuing efforts to attract — or run off — an Amazon distribution center in central Florida have raised two significant tax issues.
At first, Gov. Rick Scott didn't want Amazon warehouses in Florida because, by his reasoning, this was the road to a sales tax "increase." That position created consternation in Polk County, and particularly in Winter Haven, which appeared to be a likely site for the Amazon complex and perhaps 3,000 new jobs.
Scott, who is expected to have a real battle on his hands in his bid for a second term, yanked away the Welcome mat for Amazon because if the giant mail order firm has a facility in Florida, it must collect Florida sales taxes, just like all other sellers of retail goods in the state.
Scott, who is trying to take credit both for barring new taxes and for attracting new jobs, first decided that barring taxes was more important in this case.
While paying sales tax on Amazon purchases would be a new experience for most Floridians, state law clearly requires payment of such taxes. But there is a loophole of massive proportions: Mail order businesses are not required to collect the sales tax, so it falls on customers to rat themselves out to the Florida Department of Revenue and voluntarily pay taxes that the seller, by all rights, should be collecting.
Businesses know that they better pay what is called a "use tax" for untaxed purchases, because they are subject to DOR audits. But Joe and Minnie Lunchbucket don't even know how to go about paying the tax if they wanted to.
Congress is considering, but thus far has not enacted, legislation to require major national mail order houses to collect state sales taxes. The task would be incredibly simple with a computer program matching ZIP codes of purchasers to tax laws from their jurisdiction.
Instead, brick-and-mortar stores, which provide jobs and pay taxes in the communities in which they do business, must charge sales tax, while mail order houses sell for 6 percent or more discounts by virtue of not having to collect state and local option sales taxes.
A new tax? Hardly! This law would simply require mail order vendors to collect taxes already on the books.
When Scott decided that 3,000 new jobs (not to mention fairness for Florida retailers) were more important than a bogus "no new tax" stand, and put the Welcome mat back out, Florida cities and counties began a "can you top this?" Competition to try to attract the Amazon warehouse complex.
Last Wednesday, Hillsborough County commissioners offered a $6 million tax giveaway; it would charge Amazon only half the property taxes the mail order giant should pay for its first six years.
We expect the tax giveaway bidding will continue.
We acknowledge that the game is played in this tawdry fashion, and for the worst possible reason: "Because everybody else does it."
Taxes are intended to generate the revenue necessary to provide government services. They are not imposed to punish some taxpayers, and they should not be waived to favor others.
When one taxpayer pays less than its share, the burden falls on other taxpayers to pay more than their share.
If such favoritism is inescapable, we would rather see it benefit mom and pop entrepreneurs who put their life's savings into a corner hardware store or a Main Street gift shop, not multi-billion dollar businesses.
As a practical matter, Florida does not have to bribe national firms to locate in the Sunshine State. We have business-friendly tax policies, a diverse transportation network, and a plentiful labor force.
And, as they say, when is the last time you heard of a Floridian retiring and moving to North Dakota? Florida tax policy may not be perfect, but making exceptions to it for the benefit of high rollers at the expense of those who have been paying their full share of taxes for years is abundantly unfair.

text: There is no need to do lessons on video game systems if I'm not going to make tutorials on them all. Here is a lesson on "how to draw Wii U", step by step. One of the reasons why I wanted to make this tut on the Wii U is because the new Zelda game is going to be coming out for this system called Zelda U. Some are saying that Zelda U is going to be a sequel to Twilight Princess, but who knows if that is true. All we can do is sit and wait till it comes out so we can see for ourselves. Anyways, my little sister actually wants one of these systems just for the Zelda game. Anyways, drawing the Wii U should be simple enough. I think you will find that it will be much easier to tackle if you used a ruler. I shall return in a few so stay tuned in to see what pops up new.

Interlocking Rubber Gym Flooring Tiles are designed to absorb weight impact caused by free weight equipment. Damaged floors and equipment can result from dropping heavy dumbbells and barbells in homes or gyms and therefore have to be protected. Depending on the free weight equipment being used, and the budget involved, there are different solutions that are perfect for everybody. Rubber gym tiles are easy to install as they are a "loose lay" solution, which means there is no need for adhesive.
What tile thickness is best? This depends on what type of equipment or activities it will need to endure. When using light weights or fitness equipment in a home or training studio, ¼" interlocking gym tiles are sufficient and the thinner material will help cut costs. For locations that use moderately heavy free weights, 3/8" tiles are common and work well. For any area that will experience extremely heavy weight drop, the most shock resistant interlocking flooring options should be used. ½" and ¾" thick rubber can be used as a standalone solution in free weight areas and under power cages or it can be installed on top of existing rubber flooring for even more protection to the sub-floor.
What tile material is best? For many, this boils down to budget. Bright colors, such as solid reds and blues, are made from virgin rubber. As one can imagine, these are typically the most expensive. Virgin rubber interlocking tiles have a high tensile strength and resist tearing and therefore perform well under the high stress of heavy weight drop and traffic. Vulcanized rubber is recycled tire rubber that has been heated to a high temperature. This high heat causes the vulcanization effect which greatly increases the tensile strength, even more so than virgin rubber, and gives the surface a smoother, less porous appearance than recycled flooring that is not vulcanized. Recycled rubber flooring that is not vulcanized is very durable, but has the lowest tensile strength of the three choices and is the most affordable. This product, as with vulcanized, can be produced in thicknesses up to ¾" which makes it very versatile for all types of weight lifting in any type of facility.
Did you know that rubber puzzle tiles are commonly used in dog daycare facilities and even ice and hockey rinks?

If we have an IP-based system of identifying nodes on the Internet why is there a need for DNS?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 13 '09 at 20:26
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Because www.google.com is a lot easier to remember than 22.214.171.124?
It also adds transparency to a services location. You can move both geographically and between IP blocks and the rest of the world doesn't have to be notified of that change to continue using your service.
Although everybody else suggests that DNS is not necessary for the internet to work, I disagree. DNS is not necessary for an IP based network to work but for the Internet as we know it today it is absolutely necessary!!
If I register a domain name with godaddy and don't like godaddy anymore I can go to another provider and keep my domain name.
The same thing isn't possible with IP addresses as IP addresses are alocated to specific companies and are nothing that you can take with you.
Not only does DNS map human-readable names to IP addresses, it also decouples the client from specific details of the network endpoint it wants to connect to.
That allows providers of services to implement high availability systems and change implementation details without impacting their clients.
Absolutely it could! But you'd have a huge list of entries in
Seriously, though. "the internet" (the system of machines which deliver content to a user) would continue to work fine. "the web" (the collection of easy to find information transported over "the internet") would quickly break down because nobody (except the true geeks) would remember the IP Address to get to Google.
Because I don't want to remember that Google is 126.96.36.199.
You only need DNS to translate a domain name (e.g. www.google.com) into an IP (184.108.40.206). If everything is IP based, then you don't need DNS.
With DNS, one IP address can serve websites for multiple domains. (At least if they are running HTTP/1.1.) Without DNS, every website would basically require a dedicated IP address, and those would run out pretty fast.
The difference between an IP and a DNS name is that the IP specifies the servers location, while the DNS name allows you to specify the service itself. The big win that you get by DNS isn't so much that an DNS name is easier to remember, but that you have an layer of abstraction between the service and its implementation. So the underlying implementation can change, the servers can move around without the user noticing it.
Could the Internet work without it? Not for long, as one of the first things to do would be to implement a DNS-like service to workaround all the trouble that a lack of DNS would produce. Without DNS hyperlinks to other webpages would for example break way to easily, so that the world wide web wouldn't be able to function properly.
In a sense DNS is a very basic form of a content addressesable network, in that you say what you want, but not how to get there. You say
Everyone here seems to be forgetting that without DNS, memorizing IP addresses isn't the only option. ARPANET didn't have DNS, and that's where the hosts file originated. From Wikipedia:
Same reason you can store names in your mobile phone to reference phone numbers :)
There's no requirement for it. Its pure luxury
Without any sort of DNS, Google could act as a 'sort of' DNS, letting people find websites (wheras today you'd go to xyz.com, in DNS-less world you'd go to 126.96.36.199 and google xyz, and it'd give you that way)
The internet would work. Is it an internet I want to be a part of? Hell no.
There are some cases where "The internet" does not need DNS - for example, if you're exclusively using protocols which don't require DNS (Most peer-to-peer file sharing programs, for example).
Also some private internets have no need for DNS (but most use www to some extent, which usually means they do have it anyway).
There may be some webservers that have multiple sites on them that share the same IP and port for traffic so that DNS is how the different sites are used.
Here is a good reason for keeping locators (IPs) and identifiers (domain names) separate: RFC 5887. If you merge two companies and need their networks to become one, you'd better hope their networks were configured using identifiers and not locators.
Yes, the Internet "works" without DNS. IP packets are routed based on IP addresses and subnet mask. The various routers between the source and destination do not care about human readable aliases.
However, for humans, "www.google.com" is a lot easier to remember than "22.214.171.124" for the same reason that "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway" is easier to remember than "37.423156,-122.084917". In both cases the same information is being conveyed, but also in both cases one is significantly easier to remember. For humans, anyway.
The internet itself, at a low level? Certainly - the entire point of an ip address, and the entire IP stack is to help route packets from one place to another with the help of other protocols, none of which rely on the domain name system.
On the other hand, the DNS system allows for a few nice things - firstly, that it allows for human friendly ways to find a host. Secondly, for protocols that are aware of DNS like HTTP, you can choose what content to send based on the intended destination (for example, virtualhosts), which allow for more efficient use of available resources, as well as make use of things like multicasting, geographical routing to nearer servers and other fancy things that make life easier.
Will the internet 'work' without DNS? Absolutely. Will it be an utter pain? Probably - and if DNS broke tommorrow, a lot of services on the internet would be broken.
No. The Stack Exchange network can't work without DNS.
To prove it, let's find out the IP of
Go to that in your browser and you will get an error page saying:
(I'm sorry I can't link to it, Stack Exchange won't let me input a link to an IP.
This is what you get if you go to a Stack Exchange site that doesn't exist, like
Now let's check the IP of
Notice that the IP addresses are exactly the same. In fact, if you do a DNS lookup for any Stack Exchange site, you get the same IP.
If a single IP is mapped to multiple websites, how does the server know which website?
The answer is that the HTTP header
So, without DNS, you can't get to your favorite Stack Exchange sites (or SourceForge project sites, they work the same way).

For any given relationship with children, there is a lot of household chores that needs to be managed or delegated in some way. One way that I prefer is to maintain a list of tasks that needs to be done on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
These tasks needs to be delegated to the members of the household in a way that is visible to all, but without using too much time to administer them. Also the tasks will be rotated daily, weekly or monthly.
Is there any known sites or ideas for doing this sort of thing in a smart way? I would like to avoid the "sheet on the refrigerator" solution.


text: Hey guys, it's Dawn again and here I am with yet another tutorial on one more meme. I know I said that I wasn't going to upload anymore, but I keep getting requests, and when I get a request I like to fill them especially if I think other people will like it too. So for the first tutorial I will teach you "how to draw Y U NO", step by step. It's actually the Y U No guy, and he is an image that was generated using SMS. Now here is something interesting about the Y U NO guy, the facial expression that is used for this meme is believed to have come from a character in the anime series 'Gantz'. The face is a very simple black and white concept. The body is of size, but the arms and hands belong to a stick figure. If you want to "draw Y U NO", just follow the steps in this tutorial and you will be on your way to meme creative freedom. I shall return a bit later guys, but stay tuned in because I will be uploading more than you think. Adios people and peace out!

Research Interests
Marine parasite diversity, host specificity, population genetics of parasites, prostistan diversity, ecology of infectious diseases, ecological role of reservoir hosts
Current Research
My research uses genetic techniques to examine the ecology and evolution of marine parasites. Marine parasites can comprise a large amount of biomass and can be responsible for greatly altering host population dynamics as well as entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, we currently know little about the distribution of marine parasites and other microorganisms in the ocean. Additionally, studies have shown that the detection rate of marine invasions is increasing, but few studies have examined the role or inclusion of parasites in marine invasions. The diversity and distributions of parasites, pathogens, and toxic microorganisms in tropical waters is of particular importance when considering how species range shifts or host switching may occur with global climate change. My project will use a metagenomic approach to characterize the distribution and diversity of microorganisms associated with water samples and bivalves, with particular emphasis on marine parasites, over a latitudinal gradient from the Chesapeake Bay to the coast of Belize. This information can be used to track the future movements of these micoorganisms. This research is a collaborative effort between the Center of Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics at the National Zoological Park and the Marine Invasions Laboratory at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and is a MarineGEO project.

I am on the ubuntu 12.04 64bit Beta right now. Having a more exotic partition setup:
- /boot PARTITION (fat)
- LVM (encrypted)
|- /root
|- /home
|- /swap
Now I noticed that my boot partition doesn't get updated by the Update Manager. Thus new kernel images etc. get downloaded but to another /boot folder on the /root partition. Same is happening when I try to make changes to grub from cli, grub-update only applies to the /root-/boot stuff, leaving my boot process uneffected...
The whole setup has been done on a fresh install using the alternate cd/dvd. If I remember correctly I ran into this issue on 10.04 LTS, too (never solved it there because we went on using centos).
Any insights, tipps or solutions? Thanks.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

30 Million More Items @ Your Library
Written by:Kathy Mikol
Grand County Library District card holders now have over 30 million more items available to them through the Prospector Regional Union Catalog. The Marmot Library Network, of which Grand County Library District is a member, signed an agreement last fall allowing Marmot to join Prospector's 26 public, academic and special libraries.
The 3 million items formally available to Grand County residents through Marmot have been substantially increased not only in numbers but in the variety of materials. This means Grand County Library card holders have access to a wide range of materials formally available only through inter-library loan. These items can now be requested directly through the Prospector Catalog and picked up at your local branch library.
Loans between Marmot and Prospector libraries—across the Continental Divide—are expected to increase substantially. The statewide courier service, operated by the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC), will deliver these materials directly to your local libraries up to five days a week.
This project is substantially funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through a Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) allocation to the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and the Colorado State Library (CSL). This is the largest LSTA 2010 grant in Colorado, reminiscent of the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) because of its direct benefits for rural and remote areas.
