What should I do when Ubuntu freezes?
I dual booted Ubuntu on Windows 8 (Getting the dual boot right alone took 2 tries, thanks to UEFI framework). After the dual boot, Ubuntu started to freeze, mouse won't work, keypad won't work, I had no option but to power cycle it :( ...it's a new system, yet I had to power-cycle it twice before updating and switching to unity 2D mode. Soon after something happened to GRUB and it failed to load, the system would boot straight into Windows 8.
I had to delete the partition and re-install Ubuntu, after re-installing I updated Ubuntu and switched to Unity 2D, but after 8 hours of use, it froze again. This is too much work, I just wanna install my Linux based OS and work with it, not spend every day re-installing it. I also tried searching about this BUG on the internet. Is there any way around this that is known of or maybe I could try getting 12.10. Does 12.10 freeze regularly as well?
I got my new system only a few weeks back, it has an Intel Core i5 processor and an Intel HD 4000 integrated graphic, I don't see how this could be hardware's fault? I know, my post has lot of useless information but it's been so much work, just to get things work.
I love coding on Ubuntu, I like the nix-like environment but now, I think I might have to give it up if it's gonna need me re-install it every other day.

5 Candies You Hated Getting Every Halloween
#2. Excessively Chewy Candy
The Main Offenders:
Now and Laters, Good n Fruity, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Salt Water Taffy
The Good:
Chewy candy has only one up-side: it lasts a long time.
The Bad:
It lasts a long fucking time! There's a limit to how long candy should be in your mouth, and that's four minutes. With the exception of chewing gum, no candy should force its flavor upon the user a moment longer.
Plus this stuff can glue your teeth together with the strength of some kind of dental adhesive. The whole tedious, laborious task was way more work than eating a piece of candy should require. Maybe that would be fine if it was the only candy you had and you needed to stretch out the experience. But during the post-Halloween binge, it only delayed the eating of more candy.
Likelihood of Being Physically Injured by the Candy:
Attempt to find someone who's ever managed consume a Now and Later in less than 20 minutes. You won't, because they choked and died.
Why do people keep buying this?
The upside is if some bully tried to take your candy, you could always bet him $10 that he couldn't eat one of your Now and Laters in less than 20 minutes.
#1. All Novelty Pseudo-Candy
The Main Offenders:
Candy Buttons on Paper Tape, Fun Dip, Pixy Stix
The Good:
"Novelty" candy is known as such because it's cute and original... for a limited time. Its novelty packaging and novelty consumption methods make it, well, a novelty. And some kids are really, really easily amused.
The Bad:
The amusement however doesn't make this shitty candy taste any better. The "novelty" of this candy wears off about 10 seconds after you pull it out of your little plastic pumpkin. The disappointment, however lasts a lifetime. So does the shame that comes from eating the a row of candy buttons directly off the paper, feeding it into your mouth like your head was a fax machine.
Likelihood of Being Physically Injured by the Candy:
Every candy buttons customer has felt the sting of paper cuts on the corners of their lips. They should have a warning label about that but they know we wouldn't listen. Also, which of us didn't at least once try to snort some Pixy Stix or the powder part of Fun Dip?
Okay, maybe not all of us. Oh, also, don't make our mistake and look up "Fun Dip" on Urban Dictionary.
Trust us. Don't.

Just GCLD IT! Scavenger Hunt
Welcome to the All Staff Training
GCLD Website Scavenger Hunt
To successfully complete this scavenger hunt you must run around the GCLD website and collect the correct answers to ten questions.
When you get to the page that has the answer, write it down. You may also "print" this page by using the print (icon) option at the bottom of this page.
On with the hunt! Remember, the point of the exercise is to use our website!
- You are helping a customer select their next (fiction) title, but the customer is very chatty and is taking time away from others waiting for your help. There is a site called "Bookbrowse" that you know is listed on the GCLD website which may help this patron with their search. How did you get to this site and what is the URL?
- A new customer needs some help understanding basic library terms. Where would you give them a short list to help them with library definitions? How did you get there? Now, look up the Dewey Decimal Classification and give the definition as it is listed here.
- The customer you helped last week would like to donate $2,500. You decide that the Grand County Library Foundation is the correct place to direct them. How would you get to this information from the GCLD website? What is the process if they would like to "gift stock" instead of cash?
- A teacher has asked for information about a resource "where they can get free downloadable ebooks". The teacher says someone at your branch previously gave them the information but they can't remember it now. Where would you find this information? What is the name of the resource? Is there more than one?
- Sign up for an e-newsletter offered by Bookletters using your GCLD e-mail account. Write down the name of the newsletter.
- A parent asks you for a print-out of the GCLD programs for the week of February 21, 2011. Our printer is temporarily out of order so you e-mail them the link from the calendar page (send it to yourself, now). NOTE: you can open a new browser and logout to accomplish this task).
- A library trustee forgot where the next board meeting is and what time it starts. And, they need a copy of last month's board meeting minutes. Find this information for them. How would you direct them to the information so they can do it themselves in the future?
- Find YOUR branch location and proof-read the details for accuracy. Post any corrections via the add new comment link at the bottom of the (scavenger hunt) page.
- Describe the steps in helping a book club search the catalog for the title, "Into the Forest". The author's last name begins with an "H". Describe the steps you took to find this title. What helped you with this search?
- The GCLD website is not just for customers, it is for staff too. Where can you find a link to NetTime and NetFacilities?
Be prepared to discuss your scavenger hunting with suggestions and comments regarding wayfinding the GCLD website! Since we will most likely run out of time, the best way to do this is to add new comment via the link at the bottom of this page. That way, we have a record of what staff would like changed / added / taken out etc...Thanks!

I am having difficulties loading multiple photos directly from SD card onto facebook. It works fine when I select one photo at a time. When I select more than one it does not upload the photos into my facebook photo album. I tried loading multiple photos from F-Spot onto facebook but have a similar experience. In both instances it only loads one photo at a time which is extremely time consuming.
Shotwell on Maverick does it auto-magically. Just select your photos, click on Publish, select Facebook and done.
I have found a PPA that will let you install Shotwell 0.72 (Maverick's version) in Lucid.
Someone has created a script that let Nautilus update a bunch of pictures to Facebook. There is small article in OMG! Ubuntu about it.
It's not completely clear /how/ you're uploading the files. Facebook has a Java-based uploader which allows you to not only specify multiple files, but will also locally scale them down before upload for a quick process.
It shouldn't be this difficult, but Facebook's obtuse interface doesn't make much easy.
I use the Picasa Facebook uploader on my Mac which works great. According to the developer it is not yet ported to linux.
However, I ran into a thread on the Ubuntu forums about using Picasa and Internet Explorer under the same WINE root in order to take advantage of the Picasa Facebook uploader. I haven't tried it yet and the thread is a year old. May be worth taking a look at. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1093761.html
I use digiKam (a KDE app, though I use Gnome) and under the Export menu you can export to a dozen or so websites, including facebook. Nice and simple. It does a resize before upload aswell, which helps with the time required.

2010 Recommendations
July 21, 2010
Eighteen months ago, the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University launched a review of its longstanding faculty policy governing financial conflicts of interest. The report and recommendations of our Faculty of Medicine Committee on Conflicts of Interest and Commitment, which I have accepted and which were released today, comprehensively address the diverse manifestations of such potential conflicts in the modern world of biomedicine. The final recommendations will result in a new policy that provides guidelines and rules to protect the interests of the public and the integrity of our faculty and institutions, while simultaneously permitting effective interactions between our faculty and industry that are essential to our mission of improving human health.
The report and new policy recommendations engage an unavoidable tension, seen in many fields but especially important in biomedicine, between the sacred professional obligations of physicians and scientists to our patients and to the integrity of science and personal and institutional financial interests that have the potential to incentivize unprofessional behavior. Although professional codes, institutional values and the integrity of our faculty serve as powerful defenses against such behavior, these alone are sometimes insufficient, and our policy seeks to codify our standards and make adverse exceptions as rare as possible.
Why is it necessary to consider academic interactions with industry? The reason is simple. Neither academia nor industry acting alone can optimally provide the new therapies that we so desperately need to attack the medical afflictions we face. Virtually all involved in the enterprise of creating new knowledge for the purpose of developing such therapies understand this and agree that new and more effective collaborations are needed. Our faculty is an extraordinary repository of creativity, knowledge and drive. Through their own work, funded by industry when appropriate, and through consultation with industry in areas of mutual interest, we have the opportunity to enhance the future health of our country.
The Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University address health across a broad spectrum of activities, from the education of medical and dental students, trainees and practicing physicians, and other healthcare providers; to research both basic and clinical; and to health care policy at all levels. As a result, potential financial conflicts of interest are a collection of distinct species that must be examined separately to be understood.
In all cases where financial interests are involved, an essential antidote to potential harm is transparency, and so disclosure of relevant financial interests internally—and, for the first time, publically—will address this concern.
Let's first consider financial conflicts related to research. The majority of our sponsored research derives from federal sources, such as the National Institutes of Health, but research supported by industry plays an increasingly important role in our research programs. Why? Funding from federal and nonprofit sources is inadequate to support many meritorious proposals, and companies have the resources and interest and can provide reagents, techniques and expertise not otherwise available. So far, so good. Since industry-sponsored research may involve bench research or patients, the existing policy and new revisions are tailored differently for the two varieties. In both cases, however, the terms must protect the appropriate academic freedoms of our faculty.
For all industry-sponsored research we limit the financial interests that the faculty may have in the company sponsoring the research, and we prohibit such research if sponsored by a privately held company in which the faculty has equity interests. For research involving human subjects, the financial restrictions are much more severe and, under the new policy, will be further tightened. These rules limit the actual and perceived potential for financial-induced bias while permitting robust industry sponsorship of both basic and clinical research.
What about financial conflicts in the sphere of education? There is nothing more central to our mission than the integrity of our educational offerings and the excellence of our faculty as educators, and we are justifiably proud of both of these. Financial interests have received attention as potential influences over the educational objectivity of faculty in recent years, and although we see this as very rare among our faculty, new actions are justified in response to public and professional concerns and changing practices. In addition to requiring disclosure of permitted financial interests by all faculty at the time of lectures and soon on a public website, we have placed new safeguards against inappropriate influence by the marketing arms of companies during educational events involving our faculty. We will prohibit faculty participation in so called industry "speakers bureaus," in which faculty are paid to present information prepared and provided by the company on new treatments. Although these educational materials are reviewed by industry sponsors to ensure compliance with FDA regulatory requirements, and educational benefits from such programs may well exist, we consider it inappropriate for our faculty to play such active roles in the explicit marketing efforts of pharmaceutical companies and will insist that our faculty develop and be responsible for their own educational content, as they do when teaching in all other situations.
Most of the continuing medical education (CME) that we provide to practicing physicians is tuition based, with topics and content determined by us and presented by our best faculty. In some cases, however, funding of the costs of CME programs is supplemented by industry contributions, without influence over the content. Going forward, additional protections against the possibility of such influence will be required in HMS-accredited CME.
What about gifts? Over recent years, the provision by pharma and device companies of gifts to physicians—ranging from pens and pads bearing company logos, to fancy dinners, to tickets to sporting events, to lavish junkets to discuss new therapies—has grown in prevalence. Although evidence is limited on the extent to which such gifts cause changes in physician behavior that are inimical to the best interests of patients, it is hard to see the value of such practices when compared to their negative appearance and potential harm. We will now formally preclude these practices, not only for clinical faculty, as recently mandated by Massachusetts law, but for all HMS faculty.
So where does this leave us? Having revised our policies to make financial interests of faculty transparent to academic leadership and the public, to limit questionable practices in continuing medical education and gift-giving and to safeguard the integrity of industry-sponsored biomedical research, we should focus upon the substantial benefits of well-constructed academic–industry collaborations. This is necessary, since some critics of rare but real abuses extend their criticism to practices that are important to our mission and worthy of respect.
Under our new policy, we will limit potential abuses while promoting our great capacity to do good. That is our intention, and we are proud to be judged by our success at achieving it in the coming years.

|Suzanne Kim
Laws that aspire to gender egalitarianism may be on the books but marriage as lived by many heterosexual couples remains a deeply gendered experience, writes Associate Professor Suzanne A. Kim. Same-sex marriage offers new terrain in which to consider the relationship between law and the social forces that shape the marriage experience. In her forthcoming book, Marriage Equalities: Gender and Social Norms in Same-Sex and Different-Sex Marriage, Kim will discuss the extent to which gender has shaped our understanding and practice of marriage, examine the aspiration that same-sex marriage can increase equality within families and marriage, and consider further reform of family law and policy to support families in their caregiving responsibilities. Kim also has contributed to family law scholarship with "The Neutered Parent" (24 Yale Journal of Law and Feminism ___, 2012), which explores another aspect of inequality, that is, the bias towards traditional marriage-based norms of parental sexuality in custody and visitation rulings.
Kim was promoted to full professor, effective July 1, 2012.
What drew you to the intersection of gender and sexuality as the focus of your scholarship and teaching?
I have always been deeply interested in the ways that law and social norms work together to promote certain social visions of the ways that women should behave and the ways that men should behave, regarding sexuality, family, and beyond. The intersection of gender and sexuality is particularly important today in light of the many relevant policy, law, and cultural debates implicating these areas.
Your scholarship makes the point that gender still shapes the social experience of marriage for many different-sex couples, despite the fact that the law is gender-neutral and despite seemingly transformative events such as an economic crisis often described as a "man-cession." Why is this so?
Much of this has to do with the "stickiness" of our ideas about gender. Lived experience and the social forces people encounter in negotiating their relationships and ordering their lives don't necessarily track formal legal change. I am interested in the ways in which law and social reality interact with one another. Regardless of formal legal change, substantive, social change can be slow in coming.
Will your book suggest that same-sex marriage will result in greater gender equality within families and marriage?
It's difficult to predict what effect universal expansion of marriage would mean in terms of gender. As I've written elsewhere, certainly the debate over same-sex marriage facilitates deeper consideration of how we order marriage and whether the gendered aspects of marriage are necessary features. In my current research, I look to explore whether and how gender influences the experiences of marriage for same-sex couples.
What do you mean by the term "neutered parent"? And does parental sexuality still matter in modern family law?
In "The Neutered Parent," I argue that the legal and social ideal that parenting remains far removed from sexuality is a socially constructed one that few can achieve. Indeed, it's one that even parents who are assumed to meet it often don't fulfill. I argue that this kind of standard is detrimental to the effort to make good child placement decisions and also to the welfare of parents.
What changes would you like to see in the law's treatment of parental sexuality as it applies to custody and visitation rights?
I hope that our fundamental principles of family law can be strengthened to provide greater clarity on what counts as problematic conduct, so that child placement decisions are focused on concrete incidents of conduct, rather than on assumptions that married parents are better fit than unmarried parents (whether they be LGBT or heterosexual parents).

KTM 1190 Adventure & R Passenger Seat Bag
Whether you're planning a trans-continental trip, or a weekend ride, a soft passenger seat bag is a great luggage option for your KTM 1190 Adventure or ADV R. Unlike a tail-bag, the passenger seat bag mounts closer to the rider, keeping the weight more centered on the motorcycle.

Death Sentences in Soccer Violence Spark More Clashes in Egypt
CAIRO—Dozens of people were killed as violence engulfed cities across Egypt for the second straight day Saturday, challenging Egypt's police and military to contain mounting lawlessness on a national scale.
At least 30 people were killed and more than 300 were injured in rioting in the coastal city of Port Said on Saturday after a Cairo court sentenced 21 people to death for their role in a deadly soccer riot last February.
Meanwhile, Friday's antigovernment riots in Cairo and other cities continued into early afternoon on Saturday, leaving at least 11 people dead, mostly in the impoverished coastal city of Suez.
The harsh verdict and back-to-back outbursts of violence have lent an air of desperation to Egyptian politics just as the country marked the second anniversary of a revolution that ended the 30-year rule of former President Hosni Mubarak and ushered in a two-year period of political instability.
The bloody street fights throughout the country often involve angry youth and have become a routine feature of Egypt's fraught transition to democracy.
But this latest flare-up comes amid profound political divisions, an imminent economic crisis and months ahead of expected parliamentary elections that threaten to accelerate the country's plunge into instability.
- Egypt Marks Anniversary With Rioting Jan. 25, 2013
- Scores Killed at Soccer Match Feb. 2, 2012
The weekend's rallies showed that many Egyptians continue to view the street-level protests and violence—not the ballot box—as the surest way to express their political will.
The general focus of rage is President Mohammed Morsi's Islamist government, who his secular opponents complain has brought little real change, particularly to a police force that remains incapable of containing mass demonstrations.
"When we call for the reform of the security sector and the security sector refuses this call, it leads to things like Port Said," said Khaled Fahmy, a political analyst and history professor at the American University in Cairo. "When we say that the security sector has to be reformed, this is exactly what we mean."
Adding to the political confusion as the death toll mounted, the National Salvation Front, the umbrella political group that represents opponents to Egypt's Islamist-backed presidency, issued a statement announcing that they would boycott the parliamentary vote unless Mr. Morsi devolved power to his opponents and amended the constitution.
Mr. Morsi cancelled a scheduled trip to Ethiopia and deployed Egypt's military in Suez and Port Said. Egyptian officials late Saturday were considering imposing a curfew on violence-hit cities, Morsi spokesman Yasser Ali said.
In Port Said, hundreds of relatives and friends of the convicted defendants tried to breach prison walls to spring the convicts from jail.
The 21 people sentenced to death on Saturday were among 73 defendants, including several police officers, accused of participating in one of the world's deadliest soccer riots. Rulings for the rest of the defendants will be read on March 9. The verdict for the 21 announced Saturday isn't final—the defendants are almost certain to appeal and the head of Al Azhar, a government-managed Islamic university, must first accept or reject the capital sentences.
The head of Al Azhar has historically served a rubber-stamp religious role, and he is likely to approve the judge's decision.
Egyptian soccer hooligans, known here as Ultras, have been demonstrating in Cairo for the past week in anticipation of the court verdict over the alleged murder of 74 soccer fans during a stadium riot last February.
Ultras backing the Port Said-based Al Masry team rushed the pitch following their win over the Cairo-based Al Ahly team. The ensuing melee saw dozens of Al Ahly fans suffocate while trying to leave the stadium. Others were tossed from the bleachers or slashed with knives.
Ultras supporting Al Ahly dubbed the incident a massacre and blamed Egypt's police for the deaths. The soccer fans accused the ministry of interior of doing little to stop the violence as part of a decade-long vendetta between soccer hooligans and the police.
Others said police deliberately orchestrated the attack.
"They are to blame for derelection of duty and the murders happened under their watch," said Mahmoud Adel, a member of the Al Ahly fan club committee who was at the game last year. Mr. Adel said thousands of Al Ahly fans erputed into cheers and applause at the Al Ahly club in Cairo when the decision was read.
"It's a strong verdict, but what happened deserves an even stronger verdict," he said.
A Port Said resident and lawyer of one of the defendants given a death sentence said the verdict was nothing more than "a political decision to calm the public."
"There is nothing to say these people did anything and we don't understand what this verdict is based on," Mohammed al-Daw told the Associated Press. "Kids were taken from their homes for wearing green T-shirts," he said, referring to the Al Masry team color
The court's ruling in the Port Said case came a day after protesters descended on city squares across Egypt on Friday to mark the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak's 30-year autocracy and to press their demands against Egypt's Islamist leadership.
The Muslim Brotherhood and its conservative Islamist allies have dominated every national vote since Mr. Mubarak stepped down. In statements this week, the Brotherhood championed Egypt's "glorious revolution" but warned of the "evil forces of darkness [who] desperately endeavor to spoil the celebration [by] spreading chaos and terror across the country."
In a statement on his official Twitter account, Mr. Morsi expressed his sympathy for the deaths of protesters and police officers in Suez and vowed to pursue those responsible.
In Egypt's capital, marchers converged Friday from across the city onto Tahrir Square, the nerve center of the 2011 revolution. Demonstrators chanted anti-Islamist slogans.
"This is not a memory or a memorial," said Sayyid Gouda, a 36-year-old accountant who was wearing a gas mask around his neck as he gazed out on the crowds on the square. "This is a new wave of the revolution to restore our country."
In condemning the Muslim Brotherhood, which exercises expansive control over Egypt's government, Mr. Gouda and other activists drew from the same lexicon of resistance that defined the uprising two years ago. President Morsi and his Brotherhood backers are "fascists" who should be imprisoned for trying to take over Egypt and turn it into an Islamist state, Mr. Gouda said.
Although many of the tens of thousands of demonstrators were peaceful, according to televised images of the protests, dozens of rock-throwing youth laid seige to the Brotherhood's headquarters in the Nile Delta cities of Ismailia and Damanhour on Friday, according to the state news agency.
The violence was still boiling in cities across the country on Saturday. Egypt's state news agency reported hundreds of unknown assailants attacking government facilities and Brotherhood offices.
In the coastal city of Suez, rioters stormed and looted a police station and shops and attacked a police administration building.
Friday's protests saw the first major appearance of a new group of masked protesters calling themselves the "Black Block," after a protest strategy historically associated with the violent European anarchist movement. Sporting black clothing and concealing black face-masks, members of the group were responsible for blocking a tramway in the coastal city of Alexandria to make way for protesters and clashed with police in front of the presidential palace in Cairo, state media said.
The apparently loosely affiliated new group swore on its unofficial Facebook FB -0.85 % page to shield antigovernment protesters from Brotherhood thugs.

BRIDGEPORT - Bridgeport's 1-mill school levy was aimed solely at funding a resource officer for the school district for the 2013-14 school year and the next four successive years.
That was the sole purpose for the levy and the reason Superintendent Ted Downing and the district didn't wage a massive campaign.
They left it up to the voters to decide and the voters responding by voting down the five-year levy, 319-230.

Ted Downing
What that means is the district's current resource officer will be able to close out the school year but will not return for 2013-14.
"We're disappointed with the turnout and the results," Downing said. "We left it up to the community, and the community has spoken.
"I'm sure it will be a topic of discussion at the next board meeting but the board doesn't have the extra funds to continue to supply a resource officer.
"We'll continue to do everything we can as a district to make safety the number one priority, but we won't have the blessings of a resource officer."
The district has utilized a resource officer since January, funded at the board's expense through its budget.
Those funds aren't available next school year.
"I can look myself in the mirror and, God forbid something happen, I know the board and myself have done everything we can," Downing said. "We gave people the opportunity, and they have spoken. We will deal with it and move on."
A 3-mill, 5-year replacement levy aimed at assisting with salaries and operating expenses for the village's police department passed 87-40.
A 1.5-mill, 5-year renewal levy slated to go toward road repairs, construction and related expenses also passed, with 99 voting in favor and 27 against.

I have recently started using LVM on some servers for hard drives larger than 1 TB. They're useful, expandable and quite easy to install. However, I could not find any data about the dangers and caveats of LVM.
What are the downsides of using LVM?
I have recently started using LVM on some servers for hard drives larger than 1 TB. They're useful, expandable and quite easy to install. However, I could not find any data about the dangers and caveats of LVM.
What are the downsides of using LVM?
Risks of using LVM:
The first two LVM issues combine: if write caching isn't working correctly and you have a power loss (e.g. PSU or UPS fails), you may well have to recover from backup, meaning significant downtime. A key reason for using LVM is higher uptime (when adding disks, resizing filesystems, etc), but it's important to get the write caching setup correct to avoid LVM actually reducing uptime.
-- Updated July 2016: VirtualBox defaults to unsafe 'ignore disk flushes'
I've researched this quite a bit in the past having experienced some data loss associated with LVM. The main LVM risks and issues I'm aware of are:
Vulnerable to hard disk write caching due to VM hypervisors, disk caching or old Linux kernels, and makes it harder to recover data due to more complex on-disk structures - see below for details. I have seen complete LVM setups on several disks get corrupted without any chance of recovery, and LVM plus hard disk write caching is a dangerous combination.
Keeping write caching enabled for performance (and coping with lying drives)
A more complex but performant option is to keep SSD / hard drive write caching enabled and rely on kernel write barriers working with LVM on kernel 2.6.33+ (double-check by looking for "barrier" messages in the logs).
You should also ensure that the RAID setup, VM hypervisor setup and filesystem uses write barriers (i.e. requires the drive to flush pending writes before and after key metadata/journal writes). XFS does use barriers by default, but ext3 does not, so with ext3 you should use
SSDs are problematic because the use of write cache is critical to the lifetime of the SSD. It's best to use an SSD that has a supercapacitor (to enable cache flushing on power failure, and hence enable cache to be write-back not write-through).
Advanced Format drive setup - write caching, alignment, RAID, GPT
Harder to recover data due to more complex on-disk structures:
Harder to resize filesystems correctly - easy filesystem resizing is often given as a benefit of LVM, but you need to run half a dozen shell commands to resize an LVM based FS - this can be done with the whole server still up, and in some cases with the FS mounted, but I would never risk the latter without up to date backups and using commands pre-tested on an equivalent server (e.g. disaster recovery clone of production server).
Snapshots are hard to use, slow and buggy - if snapshot runs out of pre-allocated space it is automatically dropped. Each snapshot of a given LV is a delta against that LV (not against previous snapshots) which can require a lot of space when snapshotting filesystems with significant write activity. It is safe to create a snapshot LV that's the same size as the original LV, as the snapshot will then never run out of free space.
Snapshots can also be very slow (meaning 3 to 6 times slower than without LVM for these MySQL tests) - see this answer covering various snapshot problems. The slowness is partly because snapshots require many synchronous writes.
Snapshots have some significant bugs, e.g. in some cases they can make boot very slow, or cause boot to fail completely (because the kernel can time out waiting for the root FS when it's an LVM snapshot [fixed in Debian
Snapshot alternatives - filesystems and VM hypervisors
VM/cloud snapshots:
Filesystem snapshots:
Snapshots for online backups and fsck
Snapshots can be used to provide a consistent source for backups, as long as you are careful with space allocated (ideally the snapshot is the same size as the LV being backed up). The excellent rsnapshot (since 1.3.1) even manages the LVM snapshot creation/deletion for you - see this HOWTO on rsnapshot using LVM. However, note the general issues with snapshots and that a snapshot should not be considered a backup in itself.
You can also use LVM snapshots to do an online fsck: snapshot the LV and fsck the snapshot, while still using the main non-snapshot FS - described here - however, it's not entirely straightforward so it's best to use e2croncheck as described by Ted Ts'o, maintainer of ext3.
You should "freeze" the filesystem temporarily while taking the snapshot - some filesystems such as ext3 and XFS will do this automatically when LVM creates the snapshot.
Despite all this, I do still use LVM on some systems, but for a desktop setup I prefer raw partitions. The main benefit I can see from LVM is the flexibility of moving and resizing FSs when you must have high uptime on a server - if you don't need that, gparted is easier and has less risk of data loss.
LVM requires great care on write caching setup due to VM hypervisors, hard drive / SSD write caching, and so on - but the same applies to using Linux as a DB server. The lack of support from most tools (
If using LVM, take great care with snapshots: use VM/cloud snapshots if possible, or investigate ZFS/btrfs to avoid LVM completely - you may find ZFS or btrs is sufficiently mature compared to LVM with snapshots.
Bottom line: If you don't know about the issues listed above and how to address them, it's best not to use LVM.
I [+1] that post, and at least for me I think most of the problems do exist. Seen them while running a few 100 servers and a few 100TB of data. To me the LVM2 in Linux feels like a "clever idea" someone had. Like some of these, they turn out to be "not clever" at times. I.e. not having strictly separated kernel and userspace (lvmtab) states might have felt really smart to do away with, because there can be corruption issues (if you don't get the code right)
Well, just that this separation was there for a reason - the differences show with PV loss handling, and online re-activation of a VG with i.e. missing PVs to bring them back into play - What is a breeze on "original LVMs" (AIX, HP-UX) turns into crap on LVM2 since the state handling is not good enough. And don't even get me talking about Quorum loss detection (haha) or state handling (if I remove a disk, that won't be flagged as unavailable. It doesn't even have the damn status column)
Re: stability *pvmove*... why is
such a top ranking article on my blog, hmmm? Just now I look at a disk where the phyiscal lvm data still is hung on the state from mid-pvmove. There have been some memleaks I think, and the general idea it's a good thing to copy around live block data from userspace is just sad. Nice quote from the lvm list "seems like vgreduce --missing does not handle pvmove" Means in fact if a disk detaches during pvmove then the lvm management tool changes from lvm to vi. Oh and there has also been a bug where pvmove continues after a block read/write error and does in fact no longer write data to the target device. WTF?
Re: Snapshots The CoW is done unsafely, by updating the NEW data into the snapshot lv area and then merging back once you delete the snap. This means you have heavy IO spikes during the final merge-back of new data into the original LV and, much more important, you of course also have a much higher risk of data corruption, because not the snapshot will be broken once you hit the wall, but the original.
The advantage is in performance, doing 1 writes instead of 3. Picking the fast but unsafer algorithm is something that one obviously expects from people like VMware and MS, on "Unix" I'd rather guess things would be "done right". I didn't see much performance issues as long as I have the snapshot backing store on a different disk drive than the primary data (and backup to yet another one of course)
Re: Barriers I'm not sure if one can blame that on LVM. It was a devmapper issue, as far as I know. But there can be some blame for not really caring about this issue from at least kernel 2.6 until 2.6.33 AFAIK Xen is the only hypervisor that uses O_DIRECT for the virtual machines, the problem used to be when "loop" was used because the kernel would still cache using that. Virtualbox at least has some setting to disable stuff like this and Qemu/KVM generally seems to allow caching. All FUSE FS are also having problems there (no O_DIRECT)
Re: Sizes I think LVM does "rounding" of the displayed size. Or it uses GiB. Anyway, you need to use the VG Pe size and multiply it by the LE number of the LV. That should give the correct net size, and that issue is always a usage issue. It is made worse by filesystems that don't notice such a thing during fsck/mount (hello, ext3) or don't have a working online "fsck -n" (hello, ext3)
Of course it's telling that you can't find good sources for such info. "how many LE for the VRA?" "what is the phyiscal offset for PVRA, VGDA, ... etc"
Compared to the original one LVM2 is the prime example of "Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly."
Update a few months later: I have been hitting the "full snapshot" scenario for a test by now. If they get full, the snapshot blocks, not the original LV. I was wrong there when I had first posted this. I picked up wrong info from some doc, or maybe I had understood it. In my setups I'd always been very paranoid to not let them fill up and so I never ended up corrected. It's also possible to extend/shrink snapshots, which is a treat.
What I've still been unable to solve is how to identify a snapshot's age. As to their performance, there is a note on the "thinp" fedora project page which says the snapshot technique is being revised so that they won't get slower with each snapshot. I don't know how they're implementing it.
if you plan to use snapshots for backups - be prepared for major performance hit when snapshot is present. read more here. otherwise it's all good. i've been using lvm in production for couple of years on dozens of servers, although my main reason to use it is the atomic snapshot not ability to expand volumes easily.
btw if you're going to use 1TB drive, remember about partition alignment - this drive most probably has 4kB physical sectors.
Another advantage: you can add a new physical volume (PV), move all the data to that PV and then remove the old PV without any service interruptions. I've used that capability at least four times in the past five years.
A disadvantage I didn't see pointed out clearly yet: There's a somewhat steep learning curve for LVM2. Mostly in the abstraction it creates between your files and the underlying media. If you work with just a few people who share chores on a set of servers, you may find the extra complexity overwhelming for your team as a whole. Larger teams dedicated to the IT work will generally not have such a problem.
For example, we use it widely here at my work and have taken time to teach the whole team the basics, the language and the bare essentials about recovering systems that don't boot correctly.
One caution specifically to point out: if you boot from an LVM2 logical volume you made find recovery operations difficult when the server crashes. Knoppix and friends don't always have the right stuff for that. So, we decided that our /boot directory would be on it's own partition and would always be small and native.
Overall, I'm a fan of LVM2.

From list of obsolete packages and classes we must avoid, I found 2 terminologies, i.e., font-encoding and input-encoding. What is the difference between them?
Input encoding is on the, sorry, input side, i.e. getting the characters from your input file into (La)TeX correctly. Font encoding is on the output side, i.e. "I want to print an 'A', where in my font do I find it?".
You need an input encoding to tell TeX how to interpret the contents of your text file, you need an font encoding for proper hyphenation. Old TeX can only hyphenate words from one font and therefore you need to squeeze all the characters you use (including all accented ones) into one font. If you need more than 256 different characters in one word you're out of luck.
So the input encoding is very important as a wrong input encoding makes it impossible for TeX to interpret the text correctly. The font encoding is not that important, as long as all your characters are represented. There is for example the T1 (== ec, tex256) encoding which is widely used, but there are others such as the original OT1 font encoding.
More details
When you write a German text, you'll get to know input encoding and output encoding really fast. Assume you want to write the word
Input encoding
Let's assume TeX wants to use the byte "255" for the
Assume you use latin1 input (as it used to be standard on Linux). The word "draußen" is saved on your harddrive as bytes 100, 114, 97, 117, 223, 101, 110, and the
Font encoding
But how does TeX know what to do with the
so this is the magic part that leads TeX to choose the byte number 255 when it encounters a
The font gets re-mapped so the byte 255 is matched to the glyph named
It gets even more ugly
You can even make things worse by re-mapping the encodings internally by using virtual fonts. This is a common practice with the psnfss package. But I don't give details here because it does not help understanding the inputenc/fontenc subject.
In my answer on greek text I gave an explanation which I'll basically repeat and extend here. I'll be basically talking about text encoding here, as it is rather obvious that math requires special treatment.
Please also look at encguide where all this is explained in more detail.
First of all, all this refers to TeX engines like
This means the engine can only understand 256 different characters in input text and output at most 256 different characters in a given font.
For 16+-bit aware systems like LuaTeX and XeTeX, all this is irrelevant.
It shouldn't surprise that 256 characters are few to express all the characters there are, even if not considering chinese and such. encguide has some code tables, and looking at the table for T1 (which is the "standard" in some sense) it is obvious that it's completely stuffed and still some characters are missing. T1 represents the effort to squeeze in every character needed for european languages, but still it misses some special characters for polish or lithuanian, for instance, not talking about greek or russian.
Now, what is the strategy for producing documents which can contain more than 256 different characters? The answer, of course, is font encodings. Basically, this means
Note that when using a PostScript or TTF or OTF font which can contain more than 256 characters, it is not strictly neccessary to have different fonts for different encodings, TeX offers "virtual fonts" as an intermediary concept. But I don't know a thing about those ;-)
Back to encodings. What happens internally when I say, for instance,
How is the latter achieved?
Every font encoding is associated with a file
From t2aenc.def:
This means that for instance, the control sequence
so the polish Ł is in a different place in fonts having the respective encodings, but LaTeX will sort that out internally.
Basically, this means that LaTeX can internally handle any number of different text characters, but can output only those which are available in the currently active font encoding.
But where do the control sequences like
Of course, you can always type them as control sequences, but when you are writing a text in a specific language, you are of course expecting to be able to type the characters available on your keyboard directly.
This is handled by input encodings. For convenience, input encodings are organised based on the "code pages" which are (or were) usual on computer systems with 8-bit input scheme anyway, that is, ISO 8859-<something> (called
Typing text into a text editor with a certain code page active means that by typing a certain character, its associated code for that code page is written to the text file.
To declare a certain code page to LaTeX, there exists a file
Internally, this means the input character 198 will produce the control sequence
I hope this clears things up.
A file stored in your computer is just a sequence of numbers in the range 0–255. When you give a file as input to a program, this program has to know how to interpret this sequence of numbers. A text editor will interpret the file by associating a certain glyph to each number (or subsequence of numbers) based on well defined rules, which I'll call "code pages".
In the olden times the allowed numbers were in the range 0–127 and there was only one code page, ASCII (actually some systems used another method called EBCDIC, but this is not very relevant). Of course such a limited range made impossible to represent the necessary characters for languages using accents, diacritics or alphabets altogether different from the basic Latin alphabet. Therefore many code pages were developed, filling the range 128–255 in different ways.
TeX uses a different interpretation than text editors: the numbers it reads are subject to the tokenization process, so that control sequences can be distinguished from normal characters. But at the end, TeX typesets characters and when TeX is told to "typeset character number x", it outputs the glyph it finds in position x of the current font.
Original TeX (version 2) could really understand only input in the range 0–127, but could manage fonts with 256 glyphs, for some sequences of numbers could be mapped to glyphs via information contained in the current font metric file (this is still how
The LaTeX development team therefore devised a new strategy. You can announce LaTeX what code page you're going to use for input (say
The method works by providing an intermediate layer, called LaTeX Internal Character Representation (LICR). Each input character is changed, based on the information given at the start with
to a LICR; for instance, the number corresponding to
Having a limited number of output code pages is necessary for avoiding the need to develop font files for each input code page, while maintaining the possibility of correctly hyphenating words: TeX is able to hyphenate only words formed by characters in the same font and not cointaining "built up" glyphs, such as accents over base characters.
The situation changed a bit with the advent of Unicode and UTF-8, which is a method for representing Unicode with sequence of one up to four numbers read from a computer file. When you say
you're essentially free from the "only 256 characters" limitation for input encoding, but the limitation is still present for output encodings. Thus you can't expect that LaTeX is able to interpret correctly mixed input using, say, Latin, Cyrillic, Devanagari and Chinese without properly segregating each part in order to use the right output encoding.
For example, a document written both in Italian and Russian will use the
the base language will be Russian and the default output code page will be T2A (automatically selected by
so that the Italian parts will use a 256 glyph font containing also accented characters.
If one says only
Important notice
The editor you use for writing LaTeX documents is not TeX or LaTeX. You have to take care that the input mapping used by the editor corresponds to the input mapping used by LaTeX. There is no general advice for how to ensure this equivalence, because each editor has its own ideas about it.
The best advice is: always use UTF-8.

NEW YORK - New York Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo's suspension was reduced from 10 games to six by the NHL on Tuesday, meaning he will be eligible to play in the Stanley Cup Finals against Los Angeles.
Carcillo received the ban for hitting linesman Scott Driscoll in the face with his forearm during a scrum in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against Montreal.
He was given an automatic game misconduct and the league suspended him under rule 40.3, which bans the use of deliberate physical force against an official.
After hearing Carcillo's appeal, the NHL decided he more closely violated rule 40.4 banning "physical force to an official for the sole purpose of getting free of such official during or immediately following an altercation."
Driscoll had a hold of Carcillo's jersey with both hands.
The NHL said in a statement it will not tolerate abuse of its on-ice officials and that Rule 40 exists for their protection.
The Rangers beat the Canadiens in six games to reach the Cup Finals for the first time since winning their last title in 1994. The Kings will host Game 1 on Wednesday.
Carcillo has served three games of the suspension already and is eligible to return for Game 4 on June 11 in New York.

Today, we post a video of the subway because a guy with bongos and a lady with a ukulele, who had apparently never met before taking the same train, performed a sweet song together for the assembled passengers. Only in New York!..... is a video of two people being nice instead of beating the shit out of each other considered newsworthy. [Jessica Latshaw via Reddit]

To the editor:
I just wanted to express the importance of the levy for the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School.
It seems that our entire education system, from the state on down, has let us down. It seems that all they want to do is to funnel every kid down the same highway. If you have kids, you know that no two are alike, and that goes for education as well. We have kids who are book smart and kids who are hands-on smart. The JVS fills the needs of the kids who are hands-on smart. These kids are at the top of their game when it comes to their fields. What most don't know is that the JVS isn't the end of their education, it is just the beginning.
Many of these kids go on to attend other technical schools to further their education. As the billboards throughout the county indicate, many of these students have become very successful businessmen and women in our area.
As for the teaching staff, I can speak of the area I am must up to date with, and that is the welding class. Roger Hilty and Todd Parker spend as much time outside the classroom working for the betterment of their students as most do in the classroom. They don't let their students rest on just passing, they push them to be their best. I know this because my son went through their class, then onto Hobart welding school, only to be the youngest employee recruited by Marine Mechanical, which was later bought out by Babcock and Wilcox Co.
This school is not only a great educational institution, it has lent itself to the community for many events.
The next time you get your hair done, your car fixed or have any type of service performed, ask if by chance the person doing the work attended the JVS - you might be surprised.

The original "The Omen" was a horror movie written by a Christian and with a pretty obvious Christian world-view. (Whether you agree with the theories about prophecy or not, they are based on the Bible.) (The sequels had nothing to do with Biblical Christianity. I suspect the scripts were not written by the same person as wrote the original.)
Perhaps "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" could be considered a horror movie. It's about a woman who some of the characters say is possessed by a demon and others say is simply mentally ill. It's supposedly based on a true story, but I don't claim to know how close to the true story it is. To the extent that it follows the real story, I think it gives a very fair hearing to each side.
"The Devil's Advocate" struck me as being a Christian story, albeit with some Hollywood mangling. I don't know if the original script-writer was a Christian, but I suspect he was.
Lots of horror movies have Christian elements -- they're often about demons and a priest will have a prominent role.
Some horror movies have Christian elements but are totally anti-Christian. "The Rapture" comes to mind. I saw many reviews on some movie review site by people who thought it was a Christian movie. But the whole point of it was how horrible it would be if those crazy Christians were really right and there really is a God who sends people to Hell, etc.
I'm not particularly a horror movie fan so I can't think of other examples.

i was recently interested in geometric interpretation of various notions showing up in linear algebra because in most cases linear algebra with geometry courses focus too much on linear algebra not giving rationale or intuitions behind ideas hinting that lecturer doesn't have much idea about mathematics involved staying only on the surface of whole matter (maybe only due to didactic purposes). it's quite funny that answer doesn't show up anywhere on the network or in textbooks: in most cases i find this style very poor showing somewhat that author of the book / script might not have full grasp of it neither.
this can only mean that it hasn't got much of geometric interpretation which i'm eager to reject because i haven't had found in my first handbooks any intuitions regarding determinant or trace (those problems where addressed on
mathoverflow.net already: volume of oriented parallelotope and measure of change of edges in respect to edges of unit hypercube, respectively) but what i'm interested most at the moment is:
what is the geometrical interpretation of matrix minor?
i can only guess that it gives measure of some object of lower dimension for parallelotope, it sides for minor of highest but one degree; i could only guess that minors are projections on respective axes or something but i'm not sure of my interpretation. probably laplace expansion could give decisive answer but i also fail to interpret it properly; other clue might lie in expanded characteristic polynomial as for then it's coefficients are sums of all principial minors (of degree equal to degree of the term as far as i know). one can also find them in search of invertible coordinates in inverse and implicit function theorems. you're welcome to give interpretation of those using given intuitions! ;)

Does anyone know how I can get under the hood and modify the db output for my bluetooth media levels? I've read numerous posts of people complaining about this problem but am unable to find a solution. On previous phones, I was able to access the underlying system settings by inputting some lengthy combination of numbers. I don't know if this sort of hardware access exists on the droid x. I'm not finding anything on-line as to how to do this. All ideas welcome.
For most devices, you can only modify the volume of the earpiece, bluetooth, media volume or call volume if you are currently using that feature.
So, the best is to use your device "menu" button when you are using the bluetooth earpiece and check if said option exists. Alternativly, use the volume up/down from your device while with the bluetooth earpiece in use to try and control its volume.
One user at droidxforums mentioned a working solution for him:
If to no avail, currently, there are a few apps available from Google Play Store to deal with issues like this:
Recommended for custom ROM:
Volume+ FREE and the donate version Volume+ (Volume Boost)
Gives great results in controlling volume settings separably for each sound output available.
Recommended for Stock ROM
Worked as promised to control the bluetooth sound output, ideal for boosting in call volume.

Once in every generation, if we're lucky, a character shows up who can teach us about reality because he's more real than ourselves. Melville called such a character a "Drummond light" after the type of light once used in theaters that was capable of providing illumination in many directions. May one of us create such a character. Better yet, let's buck tradition and create a string of Drummond lights, each a brilliant facet of the Hope Diamond that is our new fiction. Let's turn away, once and for all, from old Enlightenment tropes toward a new narrative of Enwritenment. Together let's write light.

Ed Combs
Cecil Edward Combs, "Ed", was born in Virginia on Sept.17, 1946 to Junior Calup Combs and Janet Florence Scarbrough.Onion Creek lost an icon on Jan. 17, 2013.Ed was a man of many talents and trades. One of his first jobs was at McClendon's Hardware in Seattle. He also worked on oil rigs in Kimble, Nebraska, and as an electrical engineer in Mexico and at the Boeing plant in Seattle. Over the years, he also worked as a millwright in a large factory, and as a wood cutter, a carpenter, a mechanic, a metals recycler/scrapper and as a gold prospector. Engineer, inventor and dreamer, Eddie was never without a project.Eddie was forever the entertainer. He was an accomplished musician who played bass and guitar with several bands, including local band, "Blind Eddie and the Sightseers," and Seattle band, "Side Street." Ed was known for his positive outlook, his sense of humor, his generous spirit and his ready smile. He was a willing hard worker who could be counted on to lend a hand. His door was always open and Ed hosted countless impromptu gatherings. He shared a wealth of stories and jokes, delighting his guests with his guitar picking skills and an occasional ballad or two.Family survivors include his daughter, Mackenzie Combs, Federal Way; his mother, and brothers, Dennis, Steve, Dave, Dan and Bob. Ed's surviving friends are far too many to list. Eddie lived in Onion Creek for well over 20 years. Many of those years he walked to the store for his morning cup of coffee. He'd chat with the locals, offering compliments and a dash of humor to everyone he met. If the measure of a man can be seen in the number of his friends, Ed was a very rich man indeed. Eddie was well loved and will truly be missed. A memorial gathering honoring Ed Combs will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Fire District No. 11 station, located at 2555 Onion Creek Road. Guests are encouraged to share their light-hearted memories of Ed, and musicians are encouraged to bring their acoustical instruments.

Hazardous Waste
The RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) Hazardous Waste Program is a federal program implemented by the states. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has been granted authority by EPA to implement and enforce RCRA in New York State. EPA has, however, retained enforcement and oversight capabilities.
RCRA is an extremely convoluted program that actually contains many waste management options. The goal of RCRA is to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste generated. Incentive to do so is created by a tiered system of regulation. Those entities that generate the largest volumes of hazardous wastes are subject to the highest levels of regulation. Entities that produce only small quantities of hazardous wastes have only a few regulations to comply with.
Entities that produce large volumes of hazardous wastes are considered RCRA Large Quantity Generators. Smaller quantity producers are considered Small Quantity Generators and even smaller quantities belong in the category conditionally exempt Small Quantity Generator. The regulatory requirements a generator must adhere to vary with generator status. SUNY Geneseo has been both a LQG and a SQG over the last decade.
Certain wastes are considered by EPA to be "acutely hazardous". Generating or storing over 1 kg (approximately 1 quart) of these wastes in any calendar month places the campus in LQG status. Any campus department or researcher using any of the chemicals that the EPA considers acutely hazardous or a P-listed waste upon disposal are asked to contact EHS for a detailed waste classification. Dilution of these wastes is not permitted by regulation. The solution from rinsing containers is also subject to regulation and must also be collected. Containers of P-listed wastes should be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Empty containers of non-P-listed waste may be rinsed (triple rinsed) and disposed of as regular trash.
Other wastes categories, applicable to common campus wastes have been detailed in a spreadsheet. Examples of hazardous wastes generated by Laboratories, SOPA and Art Studios have also been provided. Additional information on wastes that are considered Characteristically Toxic (contain MEK, heavy metals including silver, carbon tetrachloride, pyridine, benzene, etc..) has also been summarized.
The federal regulations detail all RCRA waste categories. NYS also considers PCBs to be hazardous wastes.
Once a waste is generated, it must be placed in a container that is kept closed (except when filling) and labeled. The closed, labeled containers must be stored in the room in which the waste was generated. The specific area in the room where storage occurs is considered to be a RCRA Satelitte Accumulation Area (SAA) and storage there is subject to a specific set of requirements, including secondary containment and segregation by compatibility class.
It is the responsibility of the generating department to ensure its personnel are aware of the regulations and prohibitions regarding the management of RCRA Hazardous Wastes. It is the responsibility of the generating professor, researcher or other campus individual to ensure the waste is properly classified and managed.

I am implementing facebook Android SSO in my app. It works fine with the devices not having facebook app installed. However, with a device with fb app installed, blank screen appears after the progress dialog.
The app login never appears as shown here on facebook android guide. (https://developers.facebook.com/attachment/AndroidSSO_basicperm.png) I am using the same code from fb guide as a demo. I have generated the keyhash as shown there. Please help.
EDIT: I generated a new keyhash after signing it with new keystore using eclipse. With that keyhash it is working fine which means that there is a problem with the keyhash generated from android debug. I was generating the debug keyhash as answered here (key hash for android-facebook app). But sso is not working.
