I am installing ESXi for the first time and really need to know if I have to partition and format the hard drive for the virtual machines prior to installation of ESXi or ESXi will be handling all hard drive problems for me?
short answer: don't worry. No need to partition.
longer answer: make sure that there is nothing you are still interested in on the hard disks attached to the hosts you install ESXi on when you install. ESXi will apply a default format for it's own (management) stuff, and create a "data store" from the space left.
remark on namings:
ESX and ESXi store hypervisor "stuff" they need to run on partitions usually not visible in the VI Client. You get to see results that come from there, like log entries, but usually you are not moving around there by yourself (unless you explicitly login the the CLI on the ESX host). Such partitions are often locally attached disks on a ESX/i host, as they are only used by one single host.
Virtual machines and such are stored on separate partitions, called "data stores", and usually you put those on a shared storage so everyone attached to the SAN/NAS can see and use the data store. However, data store can reside pretty much everywhere - also on local hard disks. In that case, other host would not be able to mount that data store, but it's still a perfectly avlid data store.
To share locally attached disks with other ESXi hosts, have a look at the vSphere Storage Appliance.
Once you have installed ESXi you can use its interface to set up your data stores. There are no third party steps involved.
Yes, ESXi partitions and formats vmfs volumes on your local disk.
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_esxi_i_vc_setup_guide.pdf, page 45, step 9
The "hard drives" you set up for Virtual Machines are actually files. Usually VMDK files with VMWare. Your physical hard disks become Data Stores and as you configure virtual machines and drives for them, you'll see folders with various files, the largest of which will probably be VMDK files which are the only Hard Drives the virtual machines know about.
So don't bother partitioning anything on the physical drives. Do all your hard disk config for the virtual machines inside the vCenter app as you set up each virtual machine.
Unless you have a specific need, partitioning will reduce your future flexibility. I just have one giant volume, then in the datastore vmWare puts each VM's files in a seperate folder to keep them tidy.

Yeah supermarkets have really jacked up the price of Coke lately for some reason but they left Pepsi alone probably because they know Pepsi sucks. I go to a Dollar Tree or a Walmart and get my 2 liter bottles of Coke for $1.30 or even $1 if it's on sale. Definitely stay away from the 20 ounce bottles unless you like getting raped. Coke lover forever and a great stock too.

Reviews for New Mexico Wildlife Federation
For nearly 100 years, NMWF has been working with New Mexico sportsmen and women to protect our lands and our hunting and fishing heritage. I am disappointed but not surprised to see a disingenuous negative review of what we have accomplished. Resident sportsmen and women know all too well our hunting and public land access right are threatened by a variety of commercial and outside interests. Instead of being divisive, though, NMWF partners with landowners, organizations and management agencies to make positive changes that benefit sportsmen now and for the future. New Mexico sportsmen and women care about responsible use of and public access to our lands, and we work hard to protect our rights to hunt and fish in our state. Please do visit our website www.nmwildlife.org and learn more about what we have accomplished and the work we are doing today to make sure we can pass on our outdoor passions to the next generation -- then get involved.

A careful review of this organization's communications and website will reveal that it is a front organization for a liberal environmental agenda. They are not pro sportsman. They are pro wolf and anti OHV access. I strongly recommend you don't support this organization.

I have developed an app for Android 1.5.
I used the method: android.content.pm.PackageManager.installPackage(..) successfully.
Now I need to use the same app for Android ver 2.1 but for my luckless the method has removed.
anyone know about replecment for this method? (I am aware to the fact which I must have system permissions in order to use it)

Typically the sidebar floats left as seen on other pages of our blog (http://www.langetwins.com/blog) but on the 404 page, it appears on the right side.
The CSS on the sidebar says it is floating left, but seems to be overridden somewhere.

Proposed measures to curb prostitution - including publishing the names of johns - were sent to the Cincinnati city administration Wednesday for review.
A unanimous round of yes votes followed Councilwoman Yvette Simpson's reminder that cracking down on prostitution is important because it's about quality of life in communities.
"We were contacted by the McMicken community, Lower Price Hill, Camp Washington and Carthage neighbors saying 'enough is enough,' " Simpson said.
There's long been prostitution in these communities, but activity by pimps has gotten more aggressive, Simpson said.
"We don't want any of our communities to be Prostitution Row," Simpson said. "We want to make sure for the first time ever we make these johns accountable."
The proposals are getting attention from the likes of Al Jazeera America, which wrote about Cincinnati's attempt to "shame away" prostitution and interviewed a former prostitute.
The administration will report back in 60 days to council on the costs and feasibility of:
* Publishing the names of people convicted of prostitution-related offenses through a press release to media outlets or on the city's government access TV channel.
* Notifying an offender's spouse upon a prostitution-related arrest or conviction and a positive test for a sexually transmitted disease.
* Issuing orders to keep johns from visiting areas known for prostitution activity.
* Creating a court specifically for prostitution offenses that offers jail diversion options.
* Offering a "john school" as a condition of a suspended sentence.
The measures were taken from various communities, some as close as Dayton, others as far as California. The administration is expected to spell out what resolutions, laws and initiatives are needed.

The Cosy Homes Group has funding available through the Energy
Efficiency Conservation Authority (Eeca) to insulate up to
1500 houses in Dunedin.
Cosy homes chairman Jeff Donaldson said 100 people had signed
up in the first week, which was fewer than they wanted.
The subsidies are only available to Cosy Homes for work done
by the end of June but Mr Donaldson said there was plenty of
scope for the two contractors involved to do the work.
He said one of the contractors was having to work in
Balclutha at the moment because there were not enough homes
to do in Dunedin.
Anyone with a community services card who owns or rents a
house built before 2000 would qualify.

It was one of the first projects I got involved with when I started at Google, and perhaps the most involved one thus far, now that I'm "editing" it. The goal is "simple" enough, in that it seeks to provide a low-level cryptographic API for Javascript.
Along with other technologies, such as CSP [1] or HSTS [2], it's, in part, trying to solve the "Javascript Cryptography Considered Hamrful" problem [3].
A secure RNG. Constant-time cryptographic primitives. A secure keystore. These are the sort of fundamentals from which a wide variety of richer applications can emerge. Just look at some of the use cases [4] that finally become possible.
So if you like Javascript, or if you care about crypto, check it out, and send feedback to email@example.com.
Please note: The API is rough. Very Rough. There's still a huge gap of known issues and missing normative text, and undoubtedly more than a few typos. That said, hopefully this document captures the idea and vision for what we're working on, and with feedback, can actually achieve.

CLP works wonders. It's all my Glocks see.

...Not for me, you all, for my polymer framed pistols. I've been giving the polymer frames on my Glock and XD a wipe down with a cotton patch dampened with Simple Green. This does a great job of removing skin oil gunk and powder residue, but leaves a bit of a film. My question is, would it be OK to wipe down these polymer frames with a 50/50 solution of distilled water and alcohol? Or is there a better overall solution (no pun intended) out there? Let me know... Thanks.
CLP works wonders. It's all my Glocks see.
The Glock polymer frames are extremely solvent resistant.
No problem at all with Alcohol.
QKShooter Insta-test - I just wiped my entire Glock frame down with an old washcloth soaked/saturated with straight 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. - No reaction - ZIP - nada - no problem.
My Glock frames get over spray sometimes and I wipe them down. I don't see why any dish washing detergent and water would hurt on a washcloth. I use a dry toothbrush for the nooks and crannies on mine.
I spray mine down with CLP with no worries. No residue and they are clean as a whistle.
"...whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
Christianity and Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective
Thanks for the advice.
I think I'll go with the 50/50 distilled water and alcohol, wipe and toothbrush idea.
Not to start any flame war, but when the Glock came out, wasn't it called the dishwasher safe gun?
Sometimes you find your destiny on the road you chose to avoid it.
you can leave the Glock in a single piece. Just be ready to get another microwave.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution, which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -1792, James Madison
There are always too many Democratic, Republican and never enough U.S. congressmen.
For CLP, I do not use it on any thing that is not metal. The fact is the teflon in it is a fine abrasive and oil breaks down plastic and rubber compounds over time. I personally would not recommend it. There are many type gun cleaners designed for this type of application. When in dout use dishsoap and water.

Richard Branson, World Leaders Call For Marijuana Legalization And End to War on Drugs
The call for legalization has gone from the back of a VW van to the forefront of global politics in the span of two generations.
Tomorrow a report from a group of world leaders that includes former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, former U.S. secretary of state George Shultz, and former U.S. Fed chairman Paul Volcker will call for an end to the war on drugs and for a move toward legalization and regulation.
The Weekly was told Virgin's Richard Branson, former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former Swiss President Ruth Dreifuss, and former Columbian President César Gaviria would be on-hand in New York for the report's unveiling.
According to a statement from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) the report calls the war on drugs "a failure" and encourages "nations to pursue legalizing and regulating drugs as a way to put a stop the the violence inherent in the illegal drug market."
Richard Branson is a high flyer.
Baltimore police official Neill Franklin, LEAP's executive director:
It's no longer a question of whether legalizing drugs is a serious topic of debate for serious people. These former presidents and other international leaders have placed drug legalization squarely on the table as an important solution that policymakers need to consider. As a narcotics cop on the streets, I saw how the prohibition approach not only doesn't reduce drug abuse but how it causes violence and crime that affect all citizens and taxpayers, whether they use drugs or not.

The generally solid Republican support that has stood loyally behind President Bush, his war in Iraq and other policies is showing signs of cracking, judging from comments of some of the party's 10 declared presidential candidates in their debate in New Hampshire the other night.
While continuing to express backing for the troop surge on which the president is pinning his hopes, several of the debaters made no secret of their impatience about the war and even expressed something approaching contempt for his leadership.
The trigger for the outbursts was a mischievous question from CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer on how each of the participants, if elected president next year, would use Bush once he was out of the Oval Office.
The question should not have come as a surprise. Two nights earlier on the same stage, Blitzer had asked the eight declared Democratic White House hopefuls how, if elected, they would use former President Bill Clinton. All proposed some variation of a diplomatic or good-will mission for him.
But three of the Republicans used the question either to chide Bush or to dismiss him. The strongest was Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, who is furious at his president for supporting an immigration reform plan that Tancredo calls "amnesty" for foreigners already in the country illegally.
As President Tancredo, the feisty Coloradan said, he would tell the man he had succeeded "exactly what (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove told me" once -- not to "darken the doorstep of the White House." In any event, it's highly unlikely that Tancredo will ever sit in the Oval Office, inasmuch as he hardly registers more than a blip in the presidential polls.
Former Gov. Tommy Thompson of Wisconsin, who was Bush's secretary of health and human services in his first term, snapped that "I certainly would not send him to the United Nations" -- a clear reference to the manner in which the president's Iraq invasion in defiance of the U.N. charter has undermined the United States at the world organization.
Former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas at another juncture charged that Republicans "have lost credibility, the way we bungled Katrina," meaning Bush's tardy response to the hurricane and reconstruction of New Orleans. Without mentioning Bush by name, Huckabee also cited "a feeling that there was not proper handling of the Iraqi war in all its details," and he referred to "the indifference to people pouring over our borders" in the immigration-reform controversy.
Even Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the most outspoken supporter of the troop surge in Iraq, reiterated his view that the war has been mismanaged, while saying the president is right to say he will see it through to a successful conclusion.
All this shows that the willingness of the Republican candidates as a group to give Bush a pass not only on his conduct of the war, but also on other politically damaging actions or omission by the Bush administration, is wearing very thin as they strive to make their own cases for the election of another Republican in 2008.
Part of the dynamic of this early jockeying for position among them is a growing compulsion to distinguish themselves from the pack. Until now, they have sought to draw distinctions on other issues of prime interest to the Republican base, such as abortion, gay rights and especially immigration policy.
But as the eight Democratic candidates continue to hammer away at Bush and the GOP on the Iraq war, their Republican counterparts are increasingly tempted to split from Bush, knowing too well that a majority of Americans now say the war was a mistake, want it ended and have lost confidence in him as an effective leader.
While the president scored a tactical victory over his Democratic critics in Congress by attaining the supplemental funds he asked to keep the war going, it shapes up more as a reprieve, pending the progress report promised by Gen. David Petraeus in September. Like Bush himself, the Republicans who seek to succeed him need encouraging words from Petraeus to bolster their shaky support of the commander in chief, and head of their party.

All of the winbolo links for downloading resources seem broken. Does anyone know of any sources for winbolo brains, borgs, and the like that has current links?
It looks like there are a couple original ones downloadable from this site.
For winbolo, I found this site which lists five, the middle three are still downloadable. Ryan2 seems to be a popular one that is hard to find, due to the home site being down. However, two versions of the Ryan2 brain can be found here (angelfire site FTW).

The Warriors have put a lot of faith in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and the Cavs are excited about their tandem of Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters. Wednesday will be a good time to compare and contrast.
Matt Steinmetz
In the first of four meetings between the NorCal rivals, the Kings outlasted the Warriors 94-92 as Stephen Curry's three at the buzzer missed long.
Warriors center Andrew Bogut sat out Saturdays game against the Clippers, but he is expected to be in the starting lineup tonight in Sacramento, where he'll match up with DeMarcus Cousins.
The Warriors certainly have enough bodies to cover for the absence of Brandon Rush. Could they try to acquire a player? Yes, they could. But at this point, theyre doesnt seem to be a great need to.
Brandon Rush suffered a torn ACL during the first quarter of the Warriors' loss to the Grizzlies on Friday night, CSNBayArea.com has confirmed.

Journey to The End Of The Night 2015: Halloween Edition | Mission Dist.
>> Want to see our Top Picks for this week instead?
Dolores Park | 19th Street and Dolores Street, San Francisco, CA
For one night, drop your relations, your work, your leisure, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the chase.
Journey to the End of the Night is a free street game / scavenger hunt of epic proportions with nearly 2,000 people participating, all by foot or by Muni. Make it through the checkpoints as fast as you can, while avoiding being caught by chasers. Those who fall will become chasers themselves, rising in un-death to pursue the remaining runners.
In 2015, the Journey will take place on Halloween itself, leading you down a thrilling and bizarre experience of heart-pounding adventure.
Photo credit: Sam Lavigne
Journey to the End of the Night
Saturday, October 31, 2015 | 6 pm to midnight
Dolores Park, 19th and Dolores St, SF
FREE, but an RSVP is required
The game itself is simple: You are given a map with six marked checkpoints, a blue ribbon, and a red ribbon. By tying the blue ribbon on your arm, you indicate that you are a player. You must now make your way through the city to each checkpoint only by foot and/or public transit. You must also do so while avoiding the red-ribboned chasers who are prowling the streets. If you are tagged by a chaser, you must replace your blue ribbon with your red and become a chaser yourself, increasing the danger as the night grows darker.
Whether or not you manage to survive, playing Journey will be an incredible experience. You will interact with people on the street, and be drawn into the excitement and fun of running through the city, heart pounding with a sense of danger lurking around each corner, finding moments of unexpected magic and adventure.
The fastest players will probably finish in two hours. Timing depends on your speed, your individual Journey experience, checkpoints, and how much public transit you use. The end location will be open past midnight.

By: lilwoof, 12:29 AM GMT on June 18, 2013
Daily living is a challenge for me. The simplest tasks become and are complex for me. Everything takes me so much longer to do and it seems I never get anything completed. Due to my inability to do repetitive motions I am forced to have at least three or four different tasks going on at one time just to try and keep myself free from pain. Some days it works, but most days it does not. I become so darn frustrated at times that I just want to give up, but what would that accomplish? Nothing...absolutely nothing. So I try my best to do what I can and have learned to accept that if I do not complete a task at the end of the day...It is okay. It will be there the next and I can finish it then. Although I have difficulties in completing my daily activities, I am truly Blessed and thank the Dear Lord for each day he has placed before me.

my site breaks in IE6, i know there's a problem with CSS in IE6 but is there any way to fix this? to be honest i'm so desperate i'd pay someone who could dive in and fix it.
the main body of the text in the central column drops down to the bottom left of the page in IE6, sometimes it seems to happen worst with pages that have embedded flash video on them?
i'm sure there are lots of problems with the page other than that, but this one makes it unreadable!
i've heard there is a way to send IE6 users a different css, would that help?

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse athletics director Jake Crouthamel said Friday that football coach Paul Pasqualoni will keep his job, and that no assistant coaches will be dismissed.
"Change is necessary, yes, but not wholesale change. [It's] more along the lines of adjustments to the way we do things," Crouthamel said in a news conference. "We don't need to lay a new foundation. We already have a solid foundation and a strong football tradition from which to draw."
While a source told ESPN.com Thursday night that Crouthamel would retain Pasqualoni, the source had said it was uncertain whether Pasqualoni would be able to keep his staff intact.
Crouthamel said the most significant adjustment will be that Pasqualoni will be responsible for making game-day decisions on offense. During the past two years Pasqualoni has focused on defense.
Pasqualoni, who had been out recruiting all this week, attended the news conference. When it was announced that he would remain as coach, staff and players in attendance applauded.
"We are determined here to examine every aspect of our program
and improve," Pasqualoni said.
Syracuse barely avoided its second straight losing season by
defeating a weak Notre Dame team 38-12 in its last game of the
season on Dec. 6. The win left Syracuse at 6-6, but tied for next
to last in the Big East at 2-5 and without a bowl bid for the third
time in four seasons.
In 13 years as the school's 26th head coach, Pasqualoni, 54, a
1972 graduate of Penn State, has posted an overall record of
101-53-1, including a 58-31 conference record. He is 6-2 in
bowl games. His 100 wins rank second all-time at Syracuse, behind
only Ben Schwartzwalder's 153.
Friday's move came a little over a year after Crouthamel gave
Pasqualoni a first public vote of confidence. Crouthamel called the
team's 4-8 record in 2002, its first losing season since 1986, an
In doing so, Crouthamel also spelled out his expectations for
the football team. Those expectations included: finishing at least
in the top three in the Big East Conference and among the Top 25
teams nationally; frequent bowl participation, including the BCS;
and a high graduation rate.
When former star quarterback Donovan McNabb was leading the way,
Syracuse finished ranked four straight years, played in four bowl
games, and won or shared the Big East title three straight years.
Since McNabb graduated in 1998, the Orangemen have finished with
losing records in the league three times and played in only two
bowl games.
Syracuse also is 17-18 in the Big East since the McNabb era
ended and has been embarrassed 62-0 and 51-7 by Virginia Tech, and 59-0
and 49-7 by Miami. Syracuse is the only team to lose twice to
Rutgers and lost to Temple last year, which snapped a 16-game
winning streak over the Owls.
The losses have led to a decrease in fan interest. Attendance in
the Carrier Dome, which seats 49,262, dropped from an average of
47,898 in 1998 to 43,572 last season and to 41,167 this season. But
the university bases its attendance figures on tickets sold not on
the turnstile count, and the actual number of fans coming to games
has declined even more dramatically.
This season, Syracuse played Notre Dame for the first time in 40
years, and tickets were still available the week of the game, the
season finale.
Despite the tireless work ethic of Pasqualoni and his staff,
Syracuse also has been unable to recruit many blue-chip players,
especially at quarterback, since McNabb left.
If not for the emergence of defensive end Dwight Freeney in
2001, Pasqualoni's job might have been in jeopardy sooner. With
Freeney wreaking havoc on offenses, the Orangemen went 10-3 overall
and 6-1 in the Big East, beat Kansas State in the Insight.com Bowl,
and finished ranked No. 14.
Although Pasqualoni did guide the Orangemen to big victories
over Florida, Colorado, Ohio State and Wisconsin and was 10-2 in
each of his first two seasons (1991-92), perhaps his greatest
success has come in the classroom. During his tenure, Syracuse has
consistently ranked among the nation's leaders in graduation rates,
reaching the pinnacle in 2000 with 100 percent.
In 18 seasons as a head coach, which include five years at
Division III Western Connecticut, Pasqualoni is 135-70-1, a .668
winning percentage. He joined the Syracuse staff as an assistant in
1987 under Dick MacPherson.
Pasqualoni's staff includes associate head coach/offensive
coordinator George DeLeone, defensive coordinator Chris Rippon, and
assistants Jerry Azzinaro (defensive line), Steve Bush
(quarterbacks), Steve Dunlap (linebackers), Dennis Goldman (wide
receivers), David Walker (running backs), Chris White (tight ends
and special teams), and R. Todd Littlejohn (cornerbacks).

Women drivers could see their insurance premiums soar by as much as 24 per cent from 21 December, according to comparison site Confused.com.
The EU's Gender Directive will come into force on this day and means that insurance companies will no longer be able to vary premiums according to the policyholder's gender.
Confused.com believes that this will cause premiums for women to rise by an average of £299, while women under 25 will fork out on average £1,546 – up from £1,247 in November this year.
Females in central London aged between 17 and 25 are likely to be hit the hardest, with the average premium set to cost £2,599 - a rise of more than £500.
Head of car insurance at Confused.com, Gareth Kloet, said that while the insurance market is currently very competitive, this could change when the new regulations kick in. "The EU gender directive, which takes effect on 21 December, looks likely to spoil things, bringing uncertainty into the market once again and is likely to result in different insurance companies adopting different strategies to gain and retain the best business."
Other areas of insurance affected by the EU Gender Directive include life insurance and annuities used to convert pensions into an annual income.

Safeplay Systems Announces Two New Corporate Executives
"Steve and I are very excited about the opportunities for growth that we see at Safeplay Systems," says Gregoire. "The existing team of employees at the company has many years of expertise in the playground industry, and we look forward to working with them to innovate product design of sustainable EcoPlay® Playgrounds."
Kent Gregoire has dedicated his career as an entrepreneur where he has served as founder and CEO of several companies and transitioning them into rapid-growth organizations. Having been the founder and lead stakeholder of more than a dozen organizations, he is well-aware of the complexity of day-to-day operations and also provides a sales and marketing expertise with emphases on business development and channel sales. At various points in his career, Kent has often served as CEO of three to six companies at a time. His success stems from fostering a culture of empowerment among those who are part of his corporate teams.
Steve Cornwell has been successful as an executive in both Fortune 500 firms and privately held enterprises. He has a diverse background with specialized knowledge and expertise in the areas of human resources, organizational development, recruitment and strategic planning.
For the last 15 years, Kent Gregoire and Steve Cornwell have worked as a team: founding, acquiring and successfully transitioning companies to new stakeholders. In addition to taking over the reins at Safeplay Systems, both Kent and Steve currently serve in senior executive roles for three Atlanta-based companies. With each company, Kent and Steve are supported by dedicated teams who manage fast-paced growth. Together, they bring their overall business savvy to Safeplay Systems.
"We believe you don't build a business, you build people and the people build the business," said Gregoire and Cornwell. "We look forward to enabling the current team to grow in their roles and see where we can take Safeplay Systems.
Safeplay Systems, based in Marietta, Georgia, was founded in 1989 by Robert Gredys. Safeplay Systems works to bring happiness into communities through opportunities for children to learn through play. The company designs, manufactures and installs EcoPlay® Playgrounds – made from post-consumer, recycled HDPE plastic (milk jugs). Target markets for these commercial-grade playgrounds include residential communities, churches, preschool/daycare centers, parks and schools.
EcoPlay® Playgrounds are impermeable to water, cannot be eaten by insects, never need painting or sealing, and won't splinter, crack, rust or swell. EcoPlay® Playgrounds do not use any PVC, making them Phthalate-Free;

I am implementing a server simulation program and want to check if anything was received via a recv from a TCP/IP socket witout waiting. When I place the MSG_DONTWAIT flag, recv returns a length of -1 and errno of "Resource temproarily anavialable". the call works when the MSG_WAITALL flag is used.
This is not an error but an expected behavior. The documentation of MSG_DONTWAIT states:
If no data is available, then instead of blocking, return immediately with the error EAGAIN.
Which means that you should wait for and handle such situation.
Check here for the reference and here for a similar discussion.

The first link that states the company is out of business, has a different address than the one reporting on my CR. The second link that shows the business as active has the same address as the one on my CR. So I figure that the company is still active, but just ignoring me now that they have the account PIF.
I think my next step will be calling their main number and seeing what happens. If I have no luck, I might try another letter by mail to the CEO or another executive listed on the BBB. With only 31 total employees, might be hard to come by a backdoor number. Really wish I could find an email address though.
This won't fall of my CR until 2015, so I don't plan on giving up. If I can't find another method of contact, they will be receiving regular GW letters from me for the next 3 yrs.
Any suggestions?
I had 2 old collections with them from 2007. I had paid them years ago but they still showed up on my CR so I sent them a few GW's and they agreed to delete only one of them. Here is the address I used (pulled from my CR):
Po Box 6610
Newport News, VA 23606-0610
(757) 873-0519
Hope this helps!

Does computers on same LAN share their hosts file between each others? As I do not have access to the iPad host file, I was wondering if my iPad would try to resolve an address by asking other computer in the LAN network.
The devices do not share a Hosts file. However, they have several other ways of finding other computers on the network based on their name:
No, the file is local only, so it can be customized per host. Also, you device will not attempt IP/DNS lookups by asking other computers, unless your router was set to provide the other computers address as the DNS server for your network, and the computer runs DNS services.
at the Data link Layer, yes, the device does "ask" other computers for instructions to locations (whats the IP for this mac? ) but that is only used to navigate your local network so the device can contact the internet through your gateway.
Add something to your PC's Host file and check your iPad to see if you can still access that site.
(You can)

Experiences and results on a 0.8MWth oxy-fuel operation pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed
Oxy-fuel circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) is an alternate technology to oxy-fuel pulverized combustion (PC), which has a number of advantages that can often make it a better choice for CO2 capture. This paper presents experimental results and operating experiences from a 0.8MWth pilot-scale, oxy-fuel-fired circulating fluidized bed. Test work demonstrated smooth transition between air-fired and oxy-fuel-fired operation and stable oxy-fuel operation with CO2 concentrations above 90% on a dry basis. Our experimental results also showed that limestone performance for sulfur removal is impacted by the combustion mode and that this impact depends on fuel characteristics as well as on combustion temperature. The test experiences showed that operating the pilot-scale unit over a long period under oxy-fuel mode led to enhanced corrosion due to higher sulfur concentrations in the flue gas. As demonstration projects of oxy-fuel CFB proceed in both Europe and North America, it is hoped that these tests can provide valuable data on the combustion characteristics, pollutant formation and operating experiences specific to this technology.

Update (7/26/2011): Added more proposed updates after feedback from partners.
The HealthVault Medical Image Study data type enables our customers to store medical image studies in HealthVault.
Over last few months, we got feedback from partners and are proposing updates to the type to enable ingestion of larger set of medical image series', and extend the type to make is more useful for consumer and enterprise usage.
Following are the proposed changes:
The date and time that the image was acquired. DICOM tag: (0008,0022), (0008,0032)
Fig 1. Proposed change in medical-image-study-series
With the above change we will version the type, applications using the older version of this type will receive a sentinel value for all the data which does not have acquisition-datetime.
In accordance with DICOM we are moving the referring-physician element from medical-image-study-series to medical-image-study.
The physician who ordered the study. DICOM tag (0008,0090)
With the above change we will version the type, applications using the older version of this type will get the referring-physician in medical-image-study-series populated by the referring-physician in medical-image-study. Application using the newer version of this type will get the value of referring physician in the first medical-image-study-series in the medical-image-study field.
We are adding an optional accession-number in the medical-image-study type. Having an accession-number will aid applications to match consumer image data with pre-existing imaging study results in their system.
The Radiology information service (RIS) generated number that identifies the order for the study. DICOM tag (0008,0050)
If you have feedback on the above changes or suggestions for other improvements to this type, please respond with comments or e-mail hvtype at microsoft.com.

We couldn't find any jobs that match your search for "experienced non manager energy and utilities maintenance technician, phoenix, arizona"
But don't give up – try one of these search tips:
- Use a more general job title or description. For example, "Sales" instead of "Sales Lead"
- Widen your search. For example, "Boston" instead of "02116"
- Check your spelling!

Suppose you have a large range of consecutive integers in memory, each of which belongs to exactly one category. Two operations must be O(log n): moving a range from one category to another, and finding the category counts for a given range.
I'm pretty sure the second operation is solved trivially given a correct implementation for the first operation.
Each integer begins in a category, so I started with a set of balanced BSTs. Moving a subtree from one BST to another (eg, moving a range to a different category) has a runtime equivalent to merging two BSTs, which is O(n1 * n2)[1].
This is too slow (in python, and C is not an option), and I couldn't figure out a way to take advantage of my data's inherent structure to create an efficient BST merge operation.
I'm now looking at AVL, red-black, and interval trees, binary heaps, and treaps. Comparing their properties is overwhelming. Which structure should I use?
Edit (problem clarification): I am flexible on how I store these values and create my data structures. I am inflexible about how I receive my input, which comes from another application, and looks like the following:
CATEGORY(cat3, I, J). My current solution creates a tree with a node for each integer in the range. This is too slow for the size of my dataset, so I'm happy to re-architect if given a better method.
Any given request can move any possible range of integers into any category. In other words, ranges are overlapping in the sense of
CATEGORY(cat1, 1, 10) followed by
CATEGORY(cat3, 5, 15), but non-overlapping in the sense that every integer will be in exactly one category at any given time.

"Rally around in Raleigh and mosy into Mylstom." Raleigh by unravelau
Raleigh Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 9 photos
competition photo location. I sat here for about 1/2 hour and soaked up the peace and beauty...........hardly a ripple anywhere.
but when the new bridge was built, the new road by-passed the truck stop and now it looks really sad..........I will get a photo of it for you. UPDATE well I went to get a photo and it was closed and run down and sad looking so I changed my mind.
Raleigh township is by-passed by the pacific highway a few kms after Urunga heading north from Sydney.
To get there you can either fly from Sydney to Coffs Harbour and then take a bus or hire a car to travel south to Raleigh...........OR take the Raleigh exit off the Pacific Highway just North of Urunga.
How to get there. (see map).
Now when you get back onto the old pacific highway and continuing south you come to the north beach turnoff. It runs along side the most beautiful river which is another branch of the Kalang. I am not sure of the distance but it is not far (not 10 ks) and by following the river you arrive at Mylstrom.
- Pros:Without the highway passing through it is quiet.
- Cons:It is quiet.
- In a nutshell:A very small community now struggling (I think).

Beautilful little place! Thank you for your birthday wishes.
"competition photo location"??? Did I miss reading something there? Interesting pages.
Remember driving through Raleigh many times during my 3 years at college in Lismore. don't know if I'll be tempted to revisit though. lol! Hope to see you in a week Carole. Cheers mate.
Speed boats are much more fun than Pelicans... But I think we should still keep a few pelicans around...
Somehow, this place seems so lonely...maybe your photograph capture the atmosphere. Enjoyed the new travelogue.
What a lovely landscape, Carole !
fine countryside and the unprotected Railway crossing makes for a bit of excitment ^..^
Nice page and photos.
It's been a long timne, Carole!
Soo, did you have fun at the winery? I would look both ways b4 crossing that one! Very nice Carole

Digital audio power amplifiers using Sigma Delta Modulation - Linearity problems in the class-D power stage
A completely digital audio power amplifier uses binary (two-level) signals up to the power stage. Often MOSFETs are used as power devices, as they can provide a high output power together with a fast switching speed. The generation of accurate, rectangular pulses in the analogue power amplifier circuit is a problem, especially at pulses with an extremely short duration, as they may come from high resolution Sigma-Delta Modulation. In this paper some of the typical pulse signal waveform distortions introduced by the realistic switching power stage are shown by simple circuit models. Additionally it will be explained, how certain errors can affect the linearity of pulse signals from Sigma-Delta Modulation.

How to Form an Oregon Nonprofit Corporation
The steps to form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in Oregon.
Most nonprofits are 501(c)(3) organizations, which means they are formed for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes and are eligible for federal and state tax exemptions. To create a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, first you need to form a Oregon nonprofit corporation. Then you apply for tax-exempt status from the IRS and the state of Oregon. Here are the details.
Form Your Oregon Nonprofit Corporation
First, you need to form a nonprofit corporation under Oregon state law (Oregon Revised Statutes ("ORS"), Chapter 65).
1. Choose the initial directors for your nonprofit
Oregon requires that you have a minimum of three individuals serve as directors for a public benefit nonprofit corporation. (Religious and mutual benefit nonprofits can have only one director.)
2. Choose a name for your Oregon nonprofit corporation
The name of your nonprofit corporation must be distinguishable from the name of any other business entity on record with the Secretary of State. It also must be distinguishable from the name of any other type of business entity on record at the time of filing. Your nonprofit's name cannot contain the words "cooperative" or "limited partnership." See ORS 65.094 for information on other name restrictions.
To see if your proposed name is available, you can search the Oregon business name database on the Secretary of State's website.
3. Prepare and file your nonprofit articles of organization
You create your nonprofit entity by filing a certificate of incorporation with the Oregon Secretary of State. Your articles of organization will include basic information such as:
- your nonprofit's name
- whether your nonprofit is a public benefit corporation, mutual benefit corporation, or religious corporation
- the address, including street and number, of your nonprofit's initial registered office and the name of its initial registered agent at that location
- the name and address of each incorporator
- an alternate corporate mailing address (the nonprofit's principal office)
- whether or not your nonprofit will have members, and
- provisions regarding the distribution of assets on dissolution.
See ORS 65.047 for additional provisions you may want to include in your articles. Your incorporator can be an individual 18 years of age or older, or a domestic or foreign corporation, a partnership or an association.
The Secretary of State has a fillinable articles of incorporation form for nonprofits on its website which you can use to create your nonprofit corporation. Complete and file your articles following the instructions provided with the form. You can file by mail or online through the Secretary of State's website.
The articles form on the Secretary of State's website includes optional language regarding distribution of assets on dissolution. Be sure to include this language in the articles you create; it is required by the IRS to obtain 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. For more information on IRS requirements for tax exemption, including sample language, see IRS Publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization, available on the IRS website.
4. Prepare bylaws for your Oregon nonprofit corporation
Before you file your articles of organization, you'll need to have bylaws that comply with Oregon law. Your bylaws contain the rules and procedures your corporation will follow for holding meetings, electing officers and directors, and taking care of other corporate formalities required in Oregon. Your bylaws do not need to be filed with the state -- they are your internal operating manual.
5. Hold a meeting of your board of directors
Your first board meeting is usually referred to as the organizational meeting of the board. The board should take such actions as:
- electing directors (if not named in your articles)
- approving the bylaws
- appointing officers
- setting an accounting period and tax year, and
- approving initial transactions of the corporation, such as the opening of a corporate bank account.
After the meeting is completed, be sure to create minutes that accurately record the actions taken by the board.
6. Set up a corporate records binder
You should set up a corporate records binder for your nonprofit to hold important documents such as articles of incorporation, bylaws, and minutes of meetings. For more information, as well as minutes forms, consent forms, and other resolutions, see Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records, by Anthony Mancuso (Nolo).
Obtain Your Federal and State Tax Exemptions
Now that you have created your nonprofit corporation, you can obtain your federal and Oregon state tax exemptions. Here are the steps you must take to obtain your tax-exempt status:
1. File your Form 1023 federal tax exemption application.
To obtain federal tax-exempt status from the IRS, you will need to complete and file IRS Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This long and detailed form asks for lots of information about your organization, including its history, finances, organizational structure, governance policies, operations, activities, and more. For line-by-line instructions on how to complete the Form 1023, see How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation, by Anthony Mancuso (Nolo).
Smaller nonprofits may be eligible to file Form 1023-EZ, Streamlined Application for Recognition of Exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This is a much simpler, shorter form that is filed online. Only smaller nonprofits--those with projected annual gross receipts of less than $50,000 and total assets of less than $250,000--are eligible to use the streamlined 1023-EZ application.
See the IRS website for more information on the Form 1023 and Form 1023-EZ filing requirements.
2. Obtain your Oregon state tax exemptions.
Nonprofits who receive 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS are generally exempt from Oregon's income tax. For information and filing requirements for exemptions from other state taxes, including sales or use and property taxes, check with Oregon's tax agency.
3. Other state reporting and registration requirements.
Depending on your activities and the size of your organization, you may need to register with the state before doing any fundraising activities. The Attorney General's office has information and forms about fundraising and registration requirements for nonprofits.
