Hi everyone! I really hope someone can help me. It's not a major issue, but it's been bugging me so long I can't take it anymore!
At least half the time I view one of my pages, the post is cuts off at the bottom of the sidebar. Check it out at http://www.pgmccullough.com/blog
If you hit refresh enough, eventually the whole thing will show up, but like I said, it's really starting to bug me.
Any suggestions are DEEPLY appreciated.

Possibly end of quarter run-up.
Junk stock, Bimini management.
Yes, a junk stock. Sigh. My cost basis is $6.65, so I'm not getting hurt all that badly. But still....
Its just back to where it was a few days ago, no reason to cry.


text: This issue is not happening in all browsers and operating systems but when the automatically generated Check out with PayPal button is clicked there is a link at the bottom of the PayPal page that says "Cancel and return to (whatever website you were purchasing from)". That link is not working and according to PayPal it is because the plugin must have Express Checkout enabled by default. I cannot find any place to disable Express Checkout and hope that someone out there can help me with this issue. I thank you for your time.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Shoulder Problems and Injuries
Home Treatment
First aid for a suspected broken bone
- Control bleeding . Apply steady, direct pressure for a full 15 minutes. Use a clock-15 minutes can seem like a long time. Resist the urge to peek after a few minutes to see whether bleeding has stopped. If blood soaks through the cloth, apply another one without lifting the first. If there is an object in the wound, apply pressure around the object, not directly over it.
- Remove all rings or bracelets. It may be difficult to remove the jewelry after swelling develops.
- Use a sling to support an injured shoulder.
- If a bone is sticking out of the skin, do not try to push it back into the skin. Cover the area with a clean bandage.
Splint care
If a cast or splint is applied, it is important to keep it dry and to try to move the uninjured parts of your limb as normally as possible to help maintain muscle strength and tone. Your doctor will give you instructions on how to care for your cast or splint.
Home treatment for minor symptoms
Home treatment may help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness.
If your injury does not require an evaluation by a doctor, you may be able to use home treatment to help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness. It may take up to 6 weeks or longer before your symptoms are gone.
- Rest and protect an injured or sore area. Stop, change, or take a break from any activity that may be causing your pain or soreness.
Ice will reduce pain and swelling. Apply ice or cold packs immediately to prevent or minimize swelling. Apply the ice or cold pack for 10 to 20 minutes, 3 or more times a day.
- For the first 48 hours after an injury, avoid things that might increase swelling, such as hot showers, hot tubs, hot packs, or alcoholic beverages.
- After 48 to 72 hours, if swelling is gone, apply heat and begin gentle exercise with the aid of moist heat to help restore and maintain flexibility. Some experts recommend alternating between heat and cold treatments.
- Wear a sling for the first 48 hours after the injury, if it makes you more comfortable and supports your shoulder. If you feel you need to use a sling for more than 48 hours, discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
- Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help minimize swelling.
- Gently massage or rub the area to relieve pain and encourage blood flow. Do not massage the injured area if it causes pain.
- Try bending forward at the waist and let your affected arm hang straight down. Move your hips and legs and let that motion gently swing your arm back and forth .
- Do not smoke or use other tobacco products. Smoking slows healing because it decreases blood supply and delays tissue repair. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
|Try a nonprescription medicine to help treat your fever or pain:
Talk to your child's doctor before switching back and forth between doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. When you switch between two medicines, there is a chance your child will get too much medicine.
|Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a nonprescription medicine:

Commodore 64 Pioneer Dies at 83
Jack Tramiel, a computer-industry pioneer whose Commodore 64 is widely considered the best-selling personal computer in history, died Sunday in California, his family said. He was 83 years old.
After leaving Commodore in 1984, Mr. Tramiel acquired Atari from Warner Communications and transformed it from a maker of game consoles into a PC manufacturer.
A survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, Mr. Tramiel moved to the U.S. after World War II. He founded Commodore as a typewriter importer, and in the 1960s manufactured some of the earliest electronic calculators.
Commodore introduced its first PC in 1977, the same year that competing units the Apple II and TRS-80 were introduced.

Skip to comments.The Barbecue Editor Disputes a Tar Heel (TX vs NC)
Posted on 07/25/2013 10:15:15 AM PDT by Rebelbase
The following is a correspondence between Daniel Vaughn and John Shelton Reed. Reed lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is the co-author, with his wife, Dale Volberg Reed, of Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue. Vaughn is the barbecue editor of Texas Monthly and the author of Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey Through Texas Barbecue.
So, we are to debate the relative merits of North Carolina and Texas barbecue. Let me begin by saluting a worthy opponent, defending a worthy, if mistaken, cause. This is a dispute worth having. I wouldnt waste my ammunition on Memphis or Kansas City. I know youve eaten our barbecue, and I have eaten yours. Our Texan son-in-law has escorted my wife and me to number of towns near Austin that start with L and a few that dont. Weve eaten wood-cooked meat in Austin itself, and in Houston and Dallas and Brownwood and elsewhere. Yall are right about many things. I admire your loyalty to tradition, no matter how misguided the loyalty or recent the tradition; in particular, I applaud your devotion to cooking with wood. (I prefer your barbecue to North Carolina barbecue cooked with gas or electricity, but, hell, I prefer Sloppy Joes to that.) Most Texans also understand that sauce, if used at all, should season the meat, not smother it; in both of our states, barbecues not about sauce. So I want it understood up front that I recognize Texans as barbecue brethrenerring brethren, but brethren neverthelessand when I criticize, it is more with sadness than with indignation.
Lets stipulate at the outset that well be discussing the traditional cooking styles of our respective states, not whats served at the pick-your-meat, pick-your-sauce, mix-and-match International House of Barbecue places that are increasingly common in our cities. True, theyre in North Carolina or Texas and theyre serving what they call barbecue, but its not North Carolina barbecue or Texas barbecue; its food from nowhere, for people from nowhere, who deserve nothing better. But we both know that there are different barbecue traditions within North Carolina and Texas, so we each need to specify what it is that were championing.
I have the easier job of it. Its true that there are two varieties of North Carolina barbecue, an eastern and a western (more properly, Piedmont) style. But any outsider will recognize immediately that the two styles are much more like each other than either is like what passes for barbecue anywhere else. Jim Auchmutey, who knows a thing or two about barbecue, said once that North Carolina should put The Vinegar State on its license plates. Hes a Georgian and exaggerates, but in both regions of North Carolina mops and sauces do consist mostly of vinegar, salt, and cayenne pepper, with perhaps some sugar, just a touch of ketchup in the Piedmont, and not much else. My fellow Tar Heels enjoy arguing endlessly about that tincture of ketchup, but North Carolina sauces are vinegar with stuff in it, not (as in Kansas City and on grocery-store shelves) ketchup with stuff in it. Similarly, whether one should cook whole hogs (eastern) or pork shoulders (Piedmont) is a matter of great moment within North Carolina, but for even the most fervent partisan the differences pale into insignificance when beef or muttonnot to mention sausageenters the picture. Many Tar Heels will allow that those other meats can be tasty, but we dont actually believe that they are barbecue, and we wish yall would call them something else to prevent confusion. So when I say North Carolina barbecuein fact, when I say barbecueI mean pork, cooked for a long time at a low temperature with heat and smoke from burning coals, and served with a peppery vinegar-based sauce. What are you talking about?
Awaiting your reply,
P. S. I wont mention Dickeys if you dont bring up Smithfields Chicken N Bar-B-Q.
If Smithfields Chicken N Bar-B-Q, with locations covering the state of North Carolina, is allowed to use the word barbecue to describe the 100 percent gas-cooked pork that they routinely sling through drive-through windows, then Im confused at your confusion about applying the term to beautifully smoked beef (or lamb or goat). That argument just doesnt hold vinegar.
Your definition of barbecue (pork, cooked for a long time at a low temperature with heat and smoke from burning coals and served with a peppery vinegar-based sauce) provides for some common ground, but the self-serving limitation to a single protein seems to exist only because your fair state has failed to master the art of applying smoke to another animal. I know this first-hand, since Ive witnessed meager attempts at smoked brisket in Lexington, N.C., revered as a sort of barbecue capital in your parts, I believe. In the real capital of barbecue, Lockhart, Texas (so named by our state House in 1999), knowledge of beef is a given, but you would do well to examine the porcine artistry of those pitmasters as well. Instead of using that most forgiving of barbecue meats, the self-basting pork shoulder that my four-year-old daughter could overcook to the point that a North Carolinian would eat it, they smoke large racks of pork ribs and whole racks of bone-in loin. These cuts, seasoned only with salt, pepper, and smoke, are taken from the pits and served with the only liquid appropriate to go alongside barbecueBig Red. Ive noticed that in the Carolinas arguments over sauce seem to trump those about the actual hog. Trying to weasel sauce into the very definition of barbecue is a disservice to those pitmasters who dont require it to make their meat palatable, and furthermore is an insult to the hog. Expect the business end of bulls horn if you utter that definition in Texas.
P.S. I too have left Memphis and Kansas City out of this discussion. If their barbecue was better it may migrate beyond their respective city limits, but until that time they can only fight for the bronze medal in the barbecue Olympics. The respectable tradition in North Carolina has unquestionably secured your fine state the silver.
Im sorry that our correspondence is facing some sort of deadline. Id be happy to explain things for as long as it takes you to understand. Still, Ill do what I can in one letter. It will necessarily be a long one. A few minor points to address before turning to, ah, the meat of the matter: First, despite my P.S., you just had to mention Smithfields Chicken N Bar-B-Q, didnt you? Look, dont expect me to defend Smithfields. Youre right that theyre allowed to use the word barbecue. So is Tony Romas (headquarters: Dallas, Texas). Whos going to stop them? That doesnt mean that either outfit actually serves barbecue. Lets talk about places that do. As for Dickeys, Ill concede that their product is a better imitation of genuine Texas barbecue than Smithfields is of the authentic North Carolina stuff. This could be either a point in favor of Dickeys or a strike against Texas barbecue. Your call.
Second, you say you encountered some sorry attempts by North Carolinians to cook beef brisket. I have, too, and yes, if Im going to eat brisket Ill eat yours. What you ran into isnt a conscious reversion to the time when we did barbecue beef in these parts (see below); its just an attempt to make money from newly arrived out-of-staters with fixed misconceptions about barbecue. You know what Im talking about: I see that Red Hot & Blue has come to the Metroplex.
Third, you observe that brisket is harder to cook than pork shoulder. Thats true, but so what? Since when does degree-of-difficulty enter into the judging? This aint gymnastics. For the amateur, part of the appeal of cooking shoulder is that you can sit with it for a long time and think deep thoughts about other things. Hell, if its difficulty you want, barbecue chicken. Anyway, if we were going to discuss skill Id argue that whole-hog barbecue is the epitome of the pitmasters art.
Finally, you didnt answer my question about what Texas barbecue is, and maybe you cant. Texas has regional styles so diverse that you cant defend them all without defending everything. But I infer that what youre promoting is the Central Texas versioni.e., a variety of meats and meat products cooked with indirect heat and lots of wood smoke and served with sauce on the side, if at all. What you get in Lockhart and Luling and Elgin and Taylor. (If Im wrong, lets scrub this whole exchange and start over some other time.) Since we apparently agree on the need for wood-cooking (with some differences in technique that arent worth fighting about) there are really only two points at issue: (1) our consensus versus your indecision on the proper meat to cook and (2) our commitment to an appropriate use of sauce versus your laissez faire attitude on the subject. Excuse the pedantic tone of what follows, but I cant help it. Ive been a college professor for too long.
Lets start with the meat. Its true that, as a verb, barbecue refers to a technique that even in North Carolina has been used to cook many meats. As recently as the 1930′s we routinely barbecued not just hogs but sheep, possums, shad, sides of beefall sorts of stuff. We still barbecue chickens. But as a noun referring to something to eat, it was once understood everywhere that barbecue comes from hogs. In 1755, for example, Samuel Johnsons famous Dictionary defined it as a hog drest whole in the West Indian manner (more about that West Indian manner in a minute). There are many more examples, some even earlier. There are more hogs than people in North Carolina, but if we are porcivorous (in 1728 William Byrd II said we were) its not just for convenience. Our barbeculture is something like the dogma of the Orthodox Churchsettled, unchanging, secure in the truth, threatened only by modernity, not by rival faiths. Meanwhile, yall west of the Mississippi seem to have erred and strayed into the barbecue equivalent of speaking in tongues and taking up serpents. In fact, for all I know, you may take up serpents and barbecue them. Wouldnt surprise me. Look, surely its not my responsibility to defend what has been an understanding universal in Christendom. Its for Texans and Kansas Citians and Owensboroites to justify their departure from it. Martin Luther nailed some theses to the Wittenberg church door: he didnt just go do his own damn thing.
Yalls restless pursuit of unnecessary innovation is equally evident when it comes to sauce. More history from the professor (sorry): You first encounter something that is undeniably real barbecue in the 1600′s, in the Caribbean, where Indians had been cooking fish and birds and reptiles low-and-slow with wood from time immemorial. When Europeans showed up with hogs (note: hogs) the locals realized that this is what the Lord meant to be barbecued, and soon they were into pig-pickings in a big way. And they didnt just cook a hog. At a 1698 feast described by a Dominican missionary, the meat was mopped with a mixture of lemon juice, salt, and chile peppers and served with a similar table sauce in two strengths, hot or mild. In time, this sauce came to the Carolinas (where the lemon juice was replaced by more easily obtained vinegar) and it spread inland. Barbecue historian Robert Moss shows that by the time of the Civil War this sauce was employed everywhere in the United States (yes, even Texas). This is the ur-sauce, the one from which all others descend, the perfection from which others have devolved. Most heretics have gone to thick, sweet, sticky sauces like those found in Kansas City and on grocery store shelves, doctored ketchup that lies on the surface of the meat and can disguise poor cooking. Yours is the more forgivable sin of making sauce optional, or even doing without it altogether. At least you showcase the meat, which is a good thing. But you miss the opportunity to season it, as people always have, with a sparing application of a penetrating, salty, peppery sauce. This classic, time-honored sauce survives essentially unchanged in eastern North Carolina and (as I explained in my first letter) with only trivial alterations in the North Carolina Piedmont.
Here again, I think its up to someone who wants to mess with it to explain why. If it aint broke, dont fix it. In short (and it really is in shortI could go on), North Carolina barbecue stands in a tradition of four hundred years. The history of our barbecue is the history of barbecue itself. That history is interwoven with the history of political campaigns, church homecomings, drive-in restaurants, harvest celebrations, and the Fourth of July. Its what America is all about. You shouldnt disrespect it because its your heritage too. Return to the fold, Daniel. It is not too late to repent. Thanks for the opportunity to spar with you. I only regret that you get the last word.
The last thing Ill say about both of our states poorest approximations of barbecue (Smithfields and Dickeys) is that only one of them provides a menu of smoked meats that people in other states actually want. Texas barbecue is now the preferred style to adopt around the country (outside of the already identified barbecue capitals), which we understand as a testament to its superiority. When New York decided it wanted to be taken seriously as a barbecue town it did not turn to chopped pork and hush puppies but was instead liberated by brisket and beef ribs. The fact that smoked beef is making inroads in North Carolina is just an inevitable sign that Texas barbecue has no trouble capturing distinguishing taste buds once given the opportunity. On the other hand I dont see anyone clamoring for a whole hog joint in Austin. That shouldnt be much a surprise given the fine quality of dentistry in Texas. We dont require our food to be partially chewed before serving. Whole hog, the way its served in North Carolina, showcases the skill of cleaver-wielding meat choppers more than pitmasters. Is there really any need for a pitmaster whose job is to provide meat of impeccable moisture, tenderness, and smoke when the cleaver provides all the tenderness and the moisture comes by the industrial-sized vat of vinegar? Your argument in favor of chopped pork doesnt have any teeth because you dont need any.
As you mention, the tradition of whole-hog cooking as done in the Carolinas is part our countrys shared heritage just like wagon trains and cloth diapers. I guess if the wheels on our mobile smokers were still made of stone the barbecue would taste more authentic, but embracing innovation and diversity in barbecue is what led to Texass superiority. When the cattle arrived on the continent (right around the time that hogs showed up, mind you) they migrated in search of grazing land, eventually ending up in Texas. Yall were stuck with the hogs, happily ingesting your urban excrement. A sauces ability to withstand a lack of refrigeration does not define perfection just as sauce does not define barbecue, except for the barbecue that needs a masking agent to be rendered edible.
Anyway, heres how I suspect things will go from here: Sooner or later, youll swing through Texas and well hit all the best joints. Each bite of perfect brisket will test your faith. You will return to North Carolina and attempt to return consumption of the hog with gusto, yet each mouthful will be but an act of futile protest against your growing lust for beef. Before long, you will succumb. Privately, you will load that backyard smoker of yours with brisket upon brisket. You will eat it alone and in silence, having emerged from the wilderness at last, just as Jesus did: a man who withstood a prolonged fast and was rewarded (in your case with a belly full of beef). Hog was before, beef is now. Embrace it.
Dissing on NC BBQ ping.
No one BBQ is greater than another.
All (collectively) BBQ is great.
I swear I am not making that up.
Post of the week !!!
NC barbeque is disgusting. They shred it then it sits around getting soggy. It reminds me of the skit on SNL where the waiters pre chew your food. I guess it should be called "pre-chewed" barbeque! Yuck.
A good sauce can complement any BBQ, but it's the Rub that is the heart and soul.
One exception is the North Carolina Vinegar Sauce. Hideous and unpalatable not fit for pigs.
Brisket is hard to beat. There are some real good rib joints in Arkansas though. Gotta agree that NC BBQ is just a soggy overrated mess though.
They don't grow BBQ in Texas. It's that smoked beef stuff.
BBQs are animals. It is not, a way of cooking meat.
They are pink, porcine looking creatures that walk about on two legs with a top hat, a walking stick and sometimes a Tux.
While smiling a lot, they can be rather fierce, specially if they have been eating lots of peppers, vinegar, mustard, or other hot spices.
If you should fear confrontation from a BBQ, one should have a fork and plate ready, with a loaf of bread, Brunswick Stew or rice hash, and a large Sweetened Iced Tea. Armed thus, the BBQ will vanish pretty quick.
Daniel made a fatal flaw in his second retort: real NC BBQ is pulled and not chopped. Chopped pork is just that — cut up pieces of pork and not bbq. BBQ done right should fall apart once removed from the wood smoker without a knife anywhere in sight.
Let the BBQ debate continue..... I'm think I will get a nice shoulder for the weekend!
Well, I can testify that finest BBQ of all is pecan smoked brisket of the Texas persuasion.
As far NC BBQ goes, I would question the practice of slathering one's meat with "Summers Breeze". However
if that is what you need to make your BBQ palatable then so be it. Just don't call it BBQ. 'Cause it ain't.
Texas Monthly is most often seen in the lobby of the Doctor's office. No sane Texan would subscribe to that liberal rag. Their roots are not in Texas, unless UT represents the culture of the state, which it doesn't. Reading Texas Monthly is almost like reading Slate.
Also Big Bob Gibson's is a favorite.
Texas has two flavors of BBQ. In the east you have a good sweet BBQ that is moist and mouth-watering. In the west and central you have that dry rub crap that is usually half burned. The sauce is too vinegary compared to the sweet eastern variety.
I haven't found good BBQ since I moved here a few years back. Smoky Mo's chain in Austin is about as good as I have found. Yes, I have been to Lockhart, Burnet, Llano, and all points on my quest.
NC has to use soft and mushy pork for barbecue because North Carolinians have no teeth.
got that right....and all over NC you see restaurants with signs out front, or somewhere...
"WE SPECIALIZE in BBQ, Fried Chicken,Pork Chops, Seafood, Fried Seafood, Steaks, Pizza, Salads, Doughnuts"...
good grief, give me a break, what don't they "specialize" in?... darn that brisket looks good, when you see that red ring..yep
"Texans barbecue something called beef on some kind of weed called mesquite", is my motto.
I lived in Texas (Houston) for years, and was never able to get something that even approximated the slice of heaven that you can obtain only from Archibald's in Northport, Alabama.
Open pit is the only way to go as far as cooking your pork, or in a pinch, chicken.
Oh, and ROLL TIDE
Yes, it's a magazine whose following appears to be the lefty elitists who came to TX to escape the messes they created elsewhere. For those who haven't seen it, it's a cross between those glossy shopping and eating guides you find in hotels and People magazine.
They recently had a best and worst legislators list wherein they named the execrable RINO Joe Straus as among the best along with the malignant Wendy Davis, abortion extremist extraordinaire.
Of all of the BBQ "Types(KC, Memphis, NC, Texas)" in the United States ir seem to me that NC BBQ is the "Weakest".
pecan brisket - heavenly and the epitome of bbq
Yep. There is nothing that even comes close to pecan smoked brisket.
Yes, Texas Monthly is a foreign entity in Texas.
It Sucks almost as bad as UT.
I'll be spending 2 weeks in August in Raleigh for business and was looking forward to some good BBQ....like the stuff I make. Special 8x3+1 rub on a 5lb rack of spareribs...cooked low and slow.
But from the descriptions of NC BBQ, It sounds...less than spectacular.
Vinegar sauce is pure nasty. Give me a sweet tomato sauce any day.
Funny exchanges and a Martin Luther reference.
I like the TX commitment to the smoke and meat whil;e the Carolina use of vinegar and "lo&slo" make for some melt-in-your-mouth results.
Viva la _BQ!
The Pit, http://www.thepit-raleigh.com/
In NC they do a great job of slow cooking pork shoulders. All golden brown and crispy and dripping fat and looking absolutely delicious. Then they tear that beautiful hunk of meat to pieces and pour piss all over it. How they have the nerve to call that shredded swine barbecue is beyond me.

I suspect you've never eaten NC barbecue. Otherwise you'd know that there are multiple ways it's served, sliced, pulled, coarse chopped, fine chopped. The sauce is typically served on the side.
Texas seems to be attracting a lower class of people these days.
I love Texas. Texans too, so long as they're not tearing someone else down to build themselves up. Seems epidemic on this thread. Maybe it's all the invading Californians.
Looks good. I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks!
I live have lived in Charlotte 12 years now.The only decent BBQ I have found is the Brisket at Mac's Speed Shop on South Blvd. Do you engage in any form of exercise other than jumping to conclusions?
Don't let all the loudmouth TX partisans put you off, NC style is the basis for all of them, it began here. Like many things, the earlier it is, the simpler it tends to be. Sometimes simpler is better.
Can't wait to try it.
Both of these guys are wrong.
The best BBQ in the country can be found wherever my smoker happens to be sitting. The meat is usually pork, and the smoker is usually in Tennessee... :)
But all that being said, any well-prepared BBQ is welcome to me. I love it all!
Fletcher J
Here's a hint...order the ribs if you don't like the pulled pork. Even with the pulled pork I don't know of any place around here that would poor anything over it. You choose to poor or not and can choose from at least two styles. Personally I don't like the sweet styles but YMMV.
It's well-regarded, they've won any number of high profile barbecue cool-offs around the country. A little fancy as far as NC 'cue joints go but they do a nice job.
One if by vinegar and two if by pecan wood ...
A funny article, at least.
You seem to believe that NC barbecue is all chopped and all served doused with eastern pepper-vinegar sauce, which is demonstrably incorrect. Maybe you should get out more.
Good barbecue for whole hog, but I feel that it has really gotten commercialized since the original owner sold out.
Not to mention that the rumor is that he sold to Y*nkees. Sure hope that their money will spend for him in H*ll.
Southside Market... Elgin, TX.
Enough said.
There's not a thing wrong with NC BBQ
There's not a thing wrong with canned tuna ether
It's simply undeniable that Texas BBQ is better. Way better.
Jackson's Big Oak Barbecue
Wilmington, NC
Top it off with their Key Lime Pie. The best I ever ate.
I'm about as picky about key lime pie as I am barbecue.
Tell me it's not green and they actually used key limes, and I'm there lol.
I've eaten at several of those. Good to see Rudy's in Austin didn't make the list. I ate there twice, first and last time the same meal.
There used to be a BBQ / butcher shop in Giddings in the late 60s about one block west of 77 on 290. We used to eat lunch there when I was in high school. Best BBQ I've ever eaten. Dirt floors and brown butcher paper for plates.
I always stop at Southside in Elgin when I head down 290. I buy a few pounds of sausage and some brisket or chicken. The best BBQ is where you eat off of butcher paper.
Is there a listing for conservative/Christian-owned businesses in Austin?

Does Linux have a mechanism to "scrub" memory? e.g. testing the memory and marking areas as dirty if they fail so that the system can continue to operate "safely" even with bad ram chips installed?!
The answer is yes, and it is done transparently (provided you have ECC memory and your kernel version is at least 2.6.30).
Basically, your memory is scrubbed* periodically and checked at every read from the processor, to check for consistency with the Error Correcting Codes (ECC). If an error happened, you get a Machine Check Exception, which is then logged and grabbed by mcelog (http://www.mcelog.org/).
If your error was correctable, it increments a "leaky bucket" counter, which causes a physical DIMM that fails too often to be transparently replaced by another one. Thus your memory page is copied to a new location, your virtual memory address is updated to point to the new page, and the old page is marked by the OS as not to be used anymore.
This is called "soft-offlining" on Linux (and memory page retirement on Solaris, I don't know about other OSs).
If your error was not correctable however, what is called "hard-offlining" happens, that is your memory page gets removed from the normal operating system memory management, and your application gets killed (NB : by some catchable SIGBUS signal that tells you where the error happened, but it's rare enough not to care and try to catch it). If your memory page is mapped from a file and clean, the OS can also reload it transparently at another physical location instead of killing the process.
You can read more on mcelog, there are plenty configuration options, you can get other behaviours to be triggered, options, and other leads on what to read and how to make sure mcelog is running on your system.
* Scrubbing, or "Patrol Scrubbing" consists in reading memory, checking it against ECC for errors, and overwriting with the corrected memory words when an error is discovered. The term patrol scrubbing is used by opposition to overwriting incorrect data on errors in memory reads, which is sometimes called "Demand Scrubbing".
This is actually a bad idea. Memory cannot be reliably tested in a quick sweep. This is why software like memtest86 uses multiple passes with different bit patters to test memory. Solution:
memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG] [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved. Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn. Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff memmap=64K$0x18690000 or memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
In addition, you can use ECC memory which will correct 1-bit errors and detect 2-bit errors in your memory automatically (and you'll get log messages from kernel about uncorrectable memory problems if they happen)
The post and answer misunderstand the issue. Memory scrubbing is intended to keep correctible single bit errors from turning into uncorrectible double errors. The scrubber merely all physical memory (forcing cache misses to do so) occasionally. If there are any single bit errors, they will be corrected (and the correction must rewrite the correct value using a compare-and-swap), thus clearing the error.
Otherwise, if a second error occurs in a word which already has one error, the entire word will be uncorrectible and the OS will have to do something drastic.
Scrubbing is important because without it, memory which is read but not written (like code pages) may accumulate errors over time.

I Witnessed A Murder Last Night
I say almost because I was on the telephone waiting for the 911 operator to answer the phone for me to complain about the noise when I heard the shots ring out at 2 or 3 this morning. The switch to Daylight Savings Time has me confused as to what time it actually was.
Had it not been for the crowds of people who were outside blocking my view I would have been able to see the actual shooting take place as the dead man's body fell into the street. As I told Chief Miller and detectives, seconds later, the first of many cars sped away from the scene through another neighbor's yard. Then while I was still on the phone with the 911 operator, cars and people started leaving in every direction. Others were so drunk they were still fighting even as the first police officers on the scene unsuccessfully tried to save the victim's life.
I'm leaving out a few things because to my knowledge the shooter is still on the loose but I want to make it known that the real problem here isn't the shooter in-so-much as it is the man who was operating an illegal, after hours liquor and possible drug house in a residential neighborhood.
The neighborhood is lucky in that this time the liquor house was just getting up and running and we didn't have to live with it for months or years like we've had to do in the past. Many of the liquor house customers were under age drinkers. The men who run these liquor houses pick this neighborhood because of its many rental properties in close proximity to the housing projects where large numbers of customers can arrive on foot. This liquor house is yet another example of the outcome of the institutional racism that has plagued Northeast Greensboro for 50 plus years.
The customers of the liquor house don't understand. They think they're not bothering anyone and will tell you so. They'll claim it's unfair that neighbors and police want these activities stopped. Some of them aren't bothering anyone. Others drive drunk, have alcohol related accidents, steal to get money to buy their drugs and alcohol, keep neighbors awake all night and shoot people to death.
Neighbors were already working with police to shut it down but more than that I cannot say without putting police efforts and neighbors at risk.
And all these hours later I still hear a young black woman on crutches crying her heart out as she makes her way from the liquor house, past my house and up the street, "Stupid niggers, stupid niggers, they fuck it up for all of us..."
They do, Honey, but it's because the institution never taught them any other way. If stupid white people were put under the same microscope we'd see the same thing. As an old white man who has known more than my share of stupid white people I know it's true.
Update: WFMY finally has the story here. Funny, the ambulance left without flashing lights or sirens and yet WFMY reports he died later at the hospital. I was there, remember.
You've got to love the local media. News 2 and Fox 8 both made it look as if two cars collided in an intersection when in fact the accident happened backing out the driveway And do ambulances carry living breathing gun shot victims to the hospital with the lights and sirens turned off?
News 2 is located 1 mile from where it took place. Twelve hours later and no reporters from ANY media have arrived yet, none will tell the back story of how the shooting came about and most who follow them will think it was road rage when in fact both men were customers at an illegal after hours liquor house.
This is how the local media participates in keeping the status quo in power. This is why Greensboro-- all of Greensboro, North Carolina, suffers.

As far as I know, "dead" people can't be taken to the hospital, they need to be taken to a funeral home or morgue. That is why people are officially pronounced dead at the hospital, rather than the scene in the case of an accident. Makes it easier for the family to be notified and make arrangements/decisions.

Nan, as I remember the media reports, they said he died at the hospital. That is very different from being pronounced dead at the hospital. He was very much dead before he was loaded into the ambulance. So much so that EMTs didn't even try to resuscitate him after GPD had failed in their attempts.
Thank you for your comments.

Data centers around the globe are being mandated to simultaneously increase energy efficiency, consolidate operations and reduce costs. Each year, data centers consume approximately two percent of global power consumption. Asetek has leveraged its expertise as the world leading provider of efficient liquid cooling systems to create solutions for data centers that address these mandates by providing energy savings, cost savings, density increases, and noise reduction.
Because liquid is 4,000 times better at storing and transferring heat than air, Asetek's solutions provide immediate and measurable benefits to large and small data centers alike.
Data center cooling is one of the world's fastest-growing energy problems. Asetek's data center technology has the ability to reduce global data center energy consumption by up to 50 billion kilowatt-hours annually.
Asetek is changing the paradigm of liquid cooling for data centers by making it cost-effective for all data centers, not just the small handful of enormous super-computers that use it today.
Increasing the density per rack, and for the data center as a whole, enables a data center operator to obtain the most compute power in as little space as possible.
It has been well established in the workstation market that reduced noise leads to increased productivity. What many don't realize is that noise level is also a concern in the data center market.
Contact us to learn more about our data center liquid cooling solutions from the experts at Asetek.

THIS DRAWING OF THE BRIDGE OF LIONS is the work of one of the residents at St. Augustine Youth Services. The drawing was chosen as the background for the 15th anniversary celebration invitations.
The St. Augustine Youth Services is 15 years old this year, and they're ready and willing to celebrate this milestone.
On Feb. 26, they're hoping 150 of their closest friends will say bon voyage and set sail for a night of adventure beginning with a reception at The Pointe Restaurant, 254 Vilano Road at the Vilano Pier.
After hors d'oeuvres, the patrons will travel by water to dinner at either A1A Ale Works or Caps on the Water.
Then it's back to The Pointe for dessert, a silent auction and more.
Donation for the evening is $75. Attire is semi-formal with comfortable shoes, because there will be walking involved.
The night of fun has several purposes, says Schuyler Siefker, administrative director. It's a birthday celebration, but it's also a fund-raising effort, since SAYS, located in a complex on Saragossa Street, needs more space.
The dream, says Siefker, is for a facility that will offer three dormitories, each accommodating eight children and offering a community living area, screened patio, parking and more. Houseparents would be assigned to each of the dorms.
Fund-raising goal for SAYS is $1.5 million, and the group already has $230,000 in the bank.
SAYS, a private, non-profit organization, was designed as a program to help special children, who are affected by neglect or abuse.
It began as a haven for young girls, said Susan Zitsman, clinical director, but then it was changed to assist boys 18 and under.
The goal, according to the brochures, is "to build self esteem in these young men to help them lead positive, full lives."
Currently, SAYS serves 22 young men on campus on Saragossa Street and six in an independent living program, which was established south of town.
SAYS divides its programs into four categories:
Therapeutic group homes for boys ages 6 to 15 who have been referred by the Department of Children and Families or a community agency. "This program helps children develop socially acceptable behaviors and build self esteem," according to the organization's brochure.
Pre-independent living group home is for boys ages 14 to 18 and provides therapeutic services and independent living skills.
The therapeutic foster care group homes -- called Trails -- is for young men ages 16 to 18 "who have grown up as wards of the state," says the SAYS brochure. This program was designed for young men for whom "reunification and adoption are not options" and teaches the participants how to live independently and teaches them living skills.
Another goal of SAYS is to find therapeutic foster homes for young men ages six to 18. The couples are recruited, screened, licensed and trained by SAYS. That program is being developed in cooperation with EPIC Community Services, Siefker explains, and will begin in March.
Funding for the SAYS comes from the Department of Children and Families, explain Siefker and Renee Marcey, SAYS bookkeeper who is helping coordinate the Feb. 26 gala.
Invitations for the gala have been mailed. Susan Timmons is chairman, Blanche Coggin, honorary chairman for the building fund; and Carol Simone is chairman of the SAYS board.
Through the years, SAYS has worked with the neighborhoods where the facilities are located, and neighborhood associations and churches have been quite supportive of the program, says Siefker.
About 30 employees are involved in the programs, and it's a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week operation Siefker said.
For its work and dedication, SAYS has been recipient of honors and other recognition, including the National Accreditation for Children and Adolescent Residential Treatment Programs award in August 2002.
But even more important than the honors and awards are the testimonials from those who have benefited from SAYS.
One is Michael Salvato. Another is Carl Matthews. He was the home's first client in its opening year of 1989. When a story was written some years ago, Matthews was described as "a troubled 10-year-old" when he came to the home, and when he left, he was a "confident 19-year-old ready to go off to college and live in the dorms.
Today Matthews lives in Jacksonville, says Ron Sullivan, educational coordinator and youth care specialist at SAYS. "I've known Carl since he was 12."
"He is continuing his college education" and working in Jacksonville Beach. He recently resumed his college studies, Sullivan explains, after taking some time off to work, and as Matthews put it, says Sullivan "earn some money."

FDA Approves Cyramza for Stomach Cancer »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Cyramza (ramucirumab) to treat patients with advanced stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, a form of cancer located in the region where the esophagus joins the stomach./"...
Although it is generally agreed that carmustine alkylates DNA and RNA, it is not cross-resistant with other alkylators. As with other nitrosoureas, it may also inhibit several key enzymatic processes by carbamoylation of amino acids in proteins.
Intravenously administered carmustine is rapidly degraded, with no intact drug detectable after 15 minutes. However, in studies with 14C-labeled drug, prolonged levels of the isotope were detected in the plasma and tissue, probably representing radioactive fragments of the parent compound.
It is thought that the antineoplastic and toxic activities of carmustine may be due to metabolites. Approximately 60% to 70% of a total dose is excreted in the urine in 96 hours and about 10% as respiratory CO2. The fate of the remainder is undetermined.
Because of the high lipid solubility and the relative lack of ionization at physiological pH, carmustine crosses the blood-brain barrier quite effectively. Levels of radioactivity in the CSF are ≥50% of those measured concurrently in plasma.

Working the Wire: Hidden gems from the dumpster
Updated: December 19, 2008, 12:02 PM ETBy Brian McKitish | Special to ESPN.com
Every now and then, I like to do some dumpster diving on the most-dropped list just to see if any hidden gems have been tossed aside by impatient fantasy owners. While perusing the list this week, I noticed that an abnormal amount of high-profile players are now new additions to the waiver wire. More than just a few former fantasy studs are struggling, and many owners are on the fence about whether to ride out the storm or cut their losses. With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the big-name ...

6 Nabbed in YV DUI Checkpoint
Saved under Police Blotter, Top News, Yucca Valley
Yucca Valley, CA – Yucca Valley Police Department Traffic Unit conducted a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint on August 29, 2014, at Twentynine Palms Hwy and Balsa Ave between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.
DUI/Drivers License checkpoints have been shown to lower DUI deaths and injuries. A major component of these checkpoints are the deterrent effects it has on those who might drive drunk or drug impaired, bringing about more awareness and encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Ninety Percent of California drivers approve of checkpoints.
Michael Martin, 24 years old, residing in Joshua Tree was arrested for driving on a suspended license and transported to the Morongo Basin jail.
David Shaub, 46 years old, residing in Palm Springs was arrested for driving under the influence of a controlled substance. In an effort to release Shaub's vehicle to a licensed driver, Shaub's passenger, Nathan Picco 34, residing in Desert Hot Springs was determined to have a felony warrant. During a search incident to his arrest, Picco was found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine. Both Schaub and Picco were transported to the Morongo Basin jail.
- 1317 Vehicles Screened
- 0 DUI-Alcohol suspects arrested
- 1 DUI-Drug impaired suspects arrested
- 1 Suspects arrested for illegal drugs (possession/transportation/sales)
- 6 Drivers cited/arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended/revoked
- 0 Arrested on other Criminal Charges
- 6 Citations issued
Yucca Valley PD will be conducting other DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints or DUI saturation Patrols in the near future in our ongoing commitment to lowering deaths and injuries on our streets and highways.
This checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Report Drunk Drivers – Call 9-1-1!

Dear Dr. Gott: What education does a primary doctor have and what does he or she have for an education to be certified? Today, if I want to know anything about myself, I have to go to a hospital or specialist. Why is this? It's very costly for me. I'm going on 89, and in my past life, my doctor could give me all the answers and help I needed. Things are expensive and scary.
Dear Reader: A primary-care doctor in the United States goes through eight to 10 years of grammar school (prekindergarten to eighth grade), four years of high school, four years of college and four years of medical school. A one-year period of training in a hospital setting under the supervision of attending physicians is known as an internship. During this period, an appreciable amount of time is also spent attending lectures and conferences. A United States Medical Licensing Examination is then taken prior to applying for a residency program in the United States. Most programs are between four and six years, depending on the field a future physician chooses to enter. Thus, a minimum of 25 years is required before a person can be qualified as a practicing physician. This is a long-winded way of saying your former physician was well-qualified to handle your case in a "one-stop shopping center."
Medicine as we know it today is not what it was several years ago. To begin with, we relied extensively on a patient's verbal history, performed a hands-on examination of the body part in question and did everything possible to bring relief as quickly as possible. I'm not implying we didn't have X-ray machines and laboratories. We had state-of-the-art equipment for the time and used it whenever necessary. However, today, we have extremely sophisticated tools, access to superb specialists in almost every field and often demand a second opinion. Why? So we won't get sued! Sadly, our country has turned into a sue-first, talk-later society. If anything goes wrong, blame the doctor. After all, it's his fault, isn't it? He's the one first consulted. If we refer a sick person to the emergency room of our local hospital, we can share the blame. If your primary-care physician is uncertain of a diagnosis or what to do next, he or she will do exactly what yours is attempting - share the burden of responsibility. And it's an arduous, long and expensive process.
Speak with your physician, explain your concerns and ask whether he or she can work with you so you don't have to be referred out. At almost 89, you deserve to have your wishes honored if possible. Just be levelheaded so that if a medical situation truly calls for a specialist or hospital, you follow the advice of your doctor.
If your physician is unwilling, you are free to find another physician. Small-town physicians are a dying breed, but there are still some out there.
Write to Dr. Gott, c/o NEA-United Media, 200 Madison Ave., Fourth Floor, New York, N.Y. 10016.

NBC And CBS To Split Thursday Night NFL Broadcasts Next Season
Here's some good news for people who hate Jim Nantz and Phil Simms but love watching Thursday Night Football: You only have to deal with them for five games next year.
Here's some good news for people who hate Jim Nantz and Phil Simms but love watching Thursday Night Football: You only have to deal with them for five games next year.
Al Michaels is one of sports broadcasting's best-known conservatives, and the NBC announcer cracked wise with one of the right's most classic myths: that income taxes these days are extraordinarily high.
Here is Al Michaels reading a script about Roger Goodell and the recently released Mueller Report—we have included the feed from Michaels's microphone for the minute before he reads, so you can hear him consulting with his producer and shuffling the papers of the prepared statement—and the conversation he had with…
The O.J. Simpson car chase had its share of memorable moments. For you, maybe it was the absurdity of a white Ford Bronco leading a phalanx of police well under the speed limit, or the knowledge that Simpson had a gun to his head, or Al Cowlings telling police "You know who I am, goddammit" or just the realization…
If there's one thing we know about Al Michaels, it's that he's not afraid to talk about sports gambling on the air. During a segment on NBCSN this morning, Michaels got to chatting about curling with Rebecca Lowe, and he couldn't resist the urge to put a little money on the Great Britain-USA matchup.
Washington thought they had a first down. The chains moved. The stadium scoreboard said first down. Kyle Shanahan called the next play as if the Skins had a new set of downs. But the one person whose ruling mattered, referee Jeff Triplette, signaled third down. Chaos reigns.
This is Al on Friday night, shortly after being arrested and charged with DUI. Is that a coy smile we see? An I'm Al Michaels, and I could do this 10 times before I lose my job smile? I think it might be.
According to TMZ, the Sunday Night Football play-by-play man drove through a DUI checkpoint near his home in Santa Monica and when he spoke to officers, they detected alcohol on his breath.
Last night's prime time football game gave us some of the most exciting action of the day—a rarity this season.The Giants-Cowboys game was full of lead changes, and Al Michaels was on top of it, constantly providing an updated tally for the viewer.
Howard Cosell, who died in 1995, ruled sports broadcasting from the 1960s until the 1980s. He commentated on Monday Night Football from its inception, called boxing's biggest fights, and popped up on Olympics and baseball telecasts, too. In his new book, Howard Cosell: The Man, the Myth, and the Transformation of…
Because it's too early for flex scheduling to kick in, America was forced to endure yet another nationally televised game involving the Curtis Painter-led Colts.
Throughout the first three quarters of the Bears-Vikings game last night, Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth mentioned Christian Ponder, as well as "ponder" puns, as many times as they possibly could.
Why, yes, of course this is news.
The Steelers beat the Colts on a field goal in the waning moments last night, and one would think that in such a surprisingly close game, NBC's focus would remain on the field. One would be wrong. All evening, Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels would talk about the injured Peyton Manning, take a breath, and then…
Your morning roundup for Sept. 9, the day we didn't realize we were on the air. Photo courtesy Getty Images, via Homer Bush. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors.
Can we drop the charade and acknowledge that the only people watching the fourth quarter, third stringers of a preseason game are degenerate gamblers? The announcers analyzing a "meaningless" safety certainly knew how to play to the crowd.
I don't know if this was Al, a phlegmy Cris Collinsworth, or one very sick statistician, but who the hell hocked up a (presumably) gigantic loogie on air last night? Do they have spittoons in the booth? [Video via NBC]
"If you threatened me at gunpoint and insisted I have two on my plate, one would look like a big, juicy Porterhouse and the other would look eerily similar to lemon meringue pie." [The Big Lead]

Images in Arras theme in a multi-site setup stopped displaying after BPS installation. The problem could be fixed by disabling in .htaccess the line:
RewriteRule ^wp-includes/[^/]+\.php$ - [F,L]
Cannot explain why, but now it works again.
Images in Arras theme in a multi-site setup stopped displaying after BPS installation. The problem could be fixed by disabling in .htaccess the line:
RewriteRule ^wp-includes/[^/]+\.php$ - [F,L]
Cannot explain why, but now it works again.
hmm yeah that is odd to me too. I'll take a look at why that is.
Known issue with Network / MU images not displaying >>> http://www.ait-pro.com/aitpro-blog/3454/wordpress-tips-tricks-fixes/wordpress-network-mu-images-not-displaying-images-not-displaying-in-media-library-images-not-displaying-on-website/
Just in case this helps you: I narrowed it down to one file. Images load with the mentioned RewriteRule re-enabled and a condition added:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !ms-files\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^wp-includes/[^/]+\.php$ - [F,L]
hmm this fwrite content should be dealing with images. ok thanks for the info. I will look into the additional section of code that i used. Also Network / MU .htaccess coding is apparently not guaranteed to work in all cases. at least that is what i ascertained from looking around at all the info on MU / Network sites. And it is known that each person may need to create .htaccess mods to suit their particular needs.
$bpsMUSDirTop = "# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]\n
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]\n\n";
$bpsMUSDomTop = "# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]\n\n";
Ok well i tested arras.188.8.131.52-notimthumb.zip with and without the Timthumb .htaccess Skip rule and used the standard MU .htaccess code for a sub directory installation and images displayed correctly. So I am guessing you might have some additional custom set up on your end. By default BPS works fine with the Arras Theme and images display correctly on an MU sub directory installation. Thanks.
I am getting the same issues. We use the WooThemes Biznizz theme and all images in the sidebar for the latest posts are missing. If we get the image properties and use the address used, it does not load the image, but loads a 404 instead. It must be blocking the image address. How can this be corrected?
Here is the front page: http://BusinessOnline.ph
and here is a link to one of the images: http://businessonline.ph/wp-content/themes/biznizz/functions/thumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/6530120259_2b3376dfe4_o.jpg&w=35&h=35&zc=1&q=90
Please advise
Many thanks
It is now fixed. It was a permissions issue and it simply needed to be saved again, to add the required settings.
Great! Thanks.
Also for anyone with a Network / MU subdomain site i came across a Network / MU sub domain site where images were not displaying and this was because of the set of .htaccess rules dealing with protecting the includes folders. For exact details see this post >>> http://www.ait-pro.com/aitpro-blog/3454/wordpress-tips-tricks-fixes/wordpress-network-mu-images-not-displaying-images-not-displaying-in-media-library-images-not-displaying-on-website/
Domain mapping may or may not have been a factor with images not displaying and using these rules. In any case AutoMagic will no longer add the Network / MU includes .htaccess code in the root .htaccess file for ONLY Network / MU sub domain sites in the next version release of BPS.

Internet giant Amazon has denied claims that a computer hacker infiltrated its systems and leaked the details of more than 600 UK users online.
A hacker, going by the name Darwinare, posted usernames, contacts details and home address of 628 people on text-sharing website Pastebin on Saturday, claiming they belonged to Amazon customers.
The data has now been removed from the site.
The contents of the Pastebin data dump has been verified by OZ Data Centa, a website that lets users check their email addresses against ones leaked through data breaches, as containing valid email addresses.
In a post on social networking site Twitter, Darwinare - who appears to be a supporter of hacking group Antisec - said the alleged breach had not been motivated by a personal grudge.
"I just found [an] opening and exploited it," the hacker wrote. "So don't worry. Others will get the same [too]."
However, in a statement to Cloud Pro, an Amazon spokesperson denied that any attack had taken place.
"There has been no compromise of Amazon's systems and this is not information from our database," the spokesperson stated.
