I regularly format my system and perform a fresh install of Windows 7. Yet the most annoying thing is having to install every update and reinstall all my programs.
I've been trying to find out how I could create an ISO of my fresh system, so that I can load that instead of having to go through all the hassle to install every update/program. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any methods. Has anyone else tried to do this?

Zumba is more than a workout, it's a party

Get ready to loosen up those hips, ditch the workout and have a dance party! Youll forget you are working out if you join in the new Latin dance music-inspired sensation workout Zumba.
Photo Galleries
Move your body to merengue, salsa, cumbia, samba and reggaeton, a blend of several kinds of music from Jamaican dancehall and reggae to Latin American sounds, hip-hop and contemporary R&B rhythms, while getting your heart pumping in this dance workout.
Its a Latin music-inspired class where you have a workout and you dont even know it, says Lori Garcia-Hernandez, who is Zumba Fitness Instructor certified. It doesnt always have to be Latin, but thats where its starting.
The beauty of this dance-party-disguised workout?
You dont have to have any dance experience to do it, says Garcia-Hernandez, who teaches Zumba from 7:15 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Henderson County YMCA in Hendersonville. As long as youre moving, youre getting a workout.
Zumba works for all
Zumba is for everyone, young and old, male or female, fit or out of shape, dancer or chair hugger. Garcia-Hernandez has already had all of the above in her classes. Benefits of Zumba, like any form of exercise, can include improved health, weight loss (Garcia-Hernandez herself lost about three pounds within about three weeks of teaching the classes without changing her diet), boosted self-esteem and stress management.
Its your cardio workout its a way to get your body to move, Garcia-Hernandez says. Your cardiovascular is going to get better.
The music is what attracts many to the class.
The Latin music makes you feel alive, Garcia-Hernandez says. The music is very different. ... Theres something about Latin music that gets people hooked. I dont know what it is; the moment I hear it I start moving.
Music changes often, and Garcia-Hernandez will begin to teach new choreography for those who attend classes regularly.
Dont be afraid to try
If youre thinking about taking the class, but you feel too self-conscious, dont be. If you dont think you can do it, change your way of thinking.
If you dont think that you can, you wont, Garcia-Hernandez says. Everybody moves differently. ... Were not here to judge anybody.
And thats coming from someone who used to wear oversized clothing to cover up. She had to get beyond being uncomfortable with her body.
I had a lot of help from one of my instructors from a long time ago, Garcia-Hernandez says. The instructor told her to really look at her body to start to make it change.
She ditched the too-big clothing and could see her body and then could also watch it transform while becoming more fit.
Garcia-Hernandez became an instructor shortly thereafter.
In order to make her regular Zumba class participants more comfortable, she lowers the lights while teaching at the Y. This gives it a little more of a dance atmosphere while making it more difficult to see one another, something that may appeal to the self-conscious.
Experience isnt necessary
Whether or not you have a dance background, you can get into Zumba.
Michele Kingsley, 47, of Hendersonville, has been taking Zumba with Garcia-Hernandez since the class started a few weeks ago. Shes no stranger to working out, but she doesnt have a background in dance.
I go work out in the fitness center all the time, but this was something different to do, Kingsley says.
Her favorite part of Zumba?
I think its just that the vast majority of us really dont know what were doing, but were having a great time doing it, she says. Its not about whether your form is great. ... Were all just kind of hanging out, having fun.
Fortunately, Garcia-Hernandez keeps the moves simple and breaks them down step-by-step so those without the dance background and newcomers feel comfortable. The regulars really get the steps down pat for future classes.
If you simply focus on getting the steps right the first few classes, eventually youll be comfortable enough to really put oomph, style and personality into the movements, Garcia-Hernandez says. This will give you a better workout and youll have more fun.
Youre starting out with the most basic level and adding on, Garcia-Hernandez says. Its very easy to pick up, it just takes practice. You get to feel the music.
Eventually, classes will become more structured to include choreography specific to each of the different rhythms. So certain steps will be associated with merengue, salsa, reggaeton and others.
Chloe Woods, 13, of Hendersonville, does have a dance background. Shes been to a handful of Zumba classes at the Y, but has previously danced hip-hop, taken other Zumba classes and shes beginning to take ballet. The class really appeals to Woods.
I like it a lot, Woods says. You feel free. ... I love the music, its fun. ... You learn a dance at the same time.
The dance aspect really appeals to her.
You get a workout and you feel cleansing, Woods says. You dont know that youre working out because youre having fun and youre expressing yourself.
An accidental triumph
Garcia-Hernandez, 44, is from Venezuela and has a background in Latin dance therapy. She began teaching health and fitness classes while she was in college in Miami. She grew up dancing.
In Venezuela, you dance everywhere, Garcia-Hernandez says. Its in your blood.
Shes competed in triathlons, swimming and she teaches water aerobics at the YMCA.
She took ballet for several years as a child, but doesnt call herself a dance expert.
Im not a professional dancer, Garcia-Hernandez says. I just come out there to have a good time.
I just love it, Garcia-Hernandez says. I just love dancing. ... You just have to come here and have a good time.
How did Zumba get started? By accident.
Celebrity fitness trainer Beto Perez came to his fitness class in the mid 1990s in Colombia, South America, when he noticed that he forgot his aerobics music. So he improvised. He got the tapes of music he kept in his car salsa and merengue music and taught the class using that music. Zumba was born, and quickly became the most popular class at his fitness facility.
Since the class had so much success, Perez brought the sensation to the United States, where he partnered with others to create a global Zumba fitness company.
Now there are Zumba enthusiasts across the globe.
Says Kingsley: Its so fun.
Hernandez loves the fitness fads slogan: Ditch the workout and come join the party.

Just based on what "Eric" wrote, I grabbed my absentee ballot and voted a 100% Stranger ticket. It's going in the mail tomorrow. Who's childish now?
Dear Eric,
Letters are for old women with relatives that hate them. Unless that letter was written by me and my double standards. Also, this wasn't the first time you picked up The Stranger, and it won't be the last.
Oh God Magnolia Fag. Don't vote for Sam Reed for Secretary of State. Don't vote for any of the candidates for that office.
Personally, I enjoy The Stranger's one-sided, childish, demeaning endorsements.
The Stranger's "Stupid Fucking Credulous Hack" posts? Not so much. Milking a thinly-veiled literary device to draw attention to *ahem* hackneyed opinion pieces that would otherwise be rightfully ignored.
The only race on my ballot but not on the cheat sheet is 9th District Rep. Fortunately, Adam Smith is pretty much a no-brainer.
Aren't endorsements kinda one-sided by definition?
And childish and demeaning by the grace of God.
eh, I thought this year's endorsements were a little lighter than recent previous years'. But I'll still use them for the most part.
RE: King County Council-Proposed Alternative
But if sex offenders have to register, so should Republicans.
Republican sex offender & Missouri State Rep. Scott Muschany, (R)-Frontenac, was indicted today, Aug 6, 2008, in connection with a reported sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl on May 17, the day after this years Legislative session ended.
Republican sex offender & candidate for Mineral County (W.Va.) Commission Wilton Frederick Bland, 30, of Bayberry Place, was arrested March 23, 2007, after police received a complaint concerning a juvenile boy who said Bland had wanted him to appear nude on the Internet. Bland charged last year with 136 counts related to sexually based crimes against children has been sentenced to a possible total of 85 years after pleading guilty in both Grant and Mineral counties.
Republican Delegate Robert McKee, known as an advocate for children's rights, is the focus of a child pornography investigation after officers searched his Hagerstown, Md home.
Republican sex offender & Department of Children & Families press secretary Al Zimmerman, 40, was arrested Friday, Feb 1, 2008 and charged with eight felony charges of using a child in a sexual performance
The Republican Mayor, who is also the Pastor of the Temple Lot Church in Collins Missouri, a town in St. Clair County, is accused of trying to convince someone whom he thought was a teenage girl to meet him for sex.
Oh, and go fuck yourself.
Hey raindrop, I though Repugs were too busy tap dancing in airport rest rooms.
Actually, raindrop, most felons - including sex offenders - vote Republican (see polling from the 2004 Governor race). This is likely because they lack empathy, which is kind of the defining characteristic of both sex offenders and Republicans.
Anecdotes are not statistics. I could find any stats, but its probable that most inmates in prison would probably call themselves democrats. They've been lied to by leaders in their party who recycle the same failed policies of promised entitlements of an expanding government paid for by sticking it to the rich. Trouble is, the rich are most small businesses.
Anecdotes are not statistics.
They sure beat the hell out of fact-free conjecture though.
I could find any stats
. . . so you're talking out of your ass. Way to exemplify your side's preferred method of argument.
When Democrats cheat on their wives they at least do it with other adults.
@14: There was a typo. I meant I could not find any stats.
Anyhow, I'll own up to my own conjecture but in the final analysis it just comes down to the fact that democrats can't stand republicans primarily because they keep winning the White House. Hence the hate-spewed anti-Republican venom poisons every Slog article about politics by The Stranger's staff at every opportunity. Its unprofessional and adolescent.
The Stranger isn't available in Canada, is it? I mean how could the letter writer pick it up, as surely this person moved to Canada after the (not first but second) Bush election?
The endorsements did seem even more juvenile than usual this year. The fact that people are still shocked by this is bizarre. But I do think that despite all the fine reporting done by Stranger writers, the tone of these endorsement issues has a very damaging effect on the credibility and professionalism of the Stranger's news department in the community.
Trouble with your argument is... most small businesses are middle class.
Trouble with your argument is... Republicans are incredibly hostile to the middle class and to small businesses; the Republican party is the party of big business.
Trouble with your argument is... although the Dems are about as much in the pocket as big business as Republicans, they aren't as dedicated to completely fucking over the middle class as the Republicans are.
Trouble with your argument is... a huge number of felons are black and African Americans are largely Democrats, whether they've been to prison or not. And, particularly after Katrina, all African Americans in prison and out are well aware of how much Republicans like to fuck them over.
Hence the hate-spewed anti-Republican venom poisons every Slog article about politics by The Stranger's staff at every opportunity. Its unprofessional and adolescent.
Leave it to a Republican to be a raging hypocrite.
Like I said, go fuck yourself.
According to The Strangers endorsements "The race to replace 36-year veteran Helen Sommers features two qualified, energetic, liberal candidates:" It doesn't even mention that I am running in the same race. I also am qualified, energetic and have quite liberal views!
My stance on the issues is just as important as my opponents. You are not doing voters any favors by trying to keep me from being considered.
Many voters (including Democrats) do not want to have a state income tax (as my opponents do) and they need to be able to hear/read all sides to make an informed decision.
Hey Leslie!
I've never heard of you before, but something jumped out at me on your web site: "I want to eliminate congestion"!
See, here's the thing.
I had this hilarious conversation with an entity that calls itself (and might well be) Tim Eyman.
Eyman wants to reduce congestion -- he isn't so ambitious as to say "eliminate." But he is unable to name for me one single example of any city, region, state or nation that has ever reduced congestion at all. Not even one single measly example. Weird, huh?
Anyhoo, I'm not trying to hold you to the idea of eliminating all congestion. That's a lot to ask. But can you -- or anybody -- give me one example of anyone who has ever reduced congestion?
I'm just wondering if this is like some never before done feat. Like a cure for cancer or 9 Olympic gold medals or something. Not impossible, perhaps, but never before accomplished by mortal men in all of recorded history. Because you'd be some kind of wunderkind if you could so what no one has ever done before, wouldn't you?
One example? Please?
elenchos: I cannot identify anyone that has reduced congestion but here are some things I would like Washington State to take a look at.
Get more busses running and coordinated with signal controller technology to give busses priority at intersections; More high-occupancy vehicle lanes; Road Pricing (involves charging motorists directly for driving on a particular road or in a particular area); Congestion Pricing (which is Road Pricing with higher rates during congested periods.) It can reduce traffic congestion on a particular roadway. We do need to work towards mass transit and some of the tolling will help to pay for it.
Modern Roundabouts are an alternative to stop signs and traffic signals at small and medium-size intersections that can reduce stopping requirements.
We need to either retrofit or rebuild the Alaskan Way viaduct having two different heights next to each other (three lanes each). We need the same capacity and rate of speed of 50 mph. It is still a life-line.
We need a much better plan than what the mayor is pushing for the Mercer Street fix--one that actually does eliminate congestion. I would like to see a connection from Elliott and go either over or under 99 that then connect to I-5. No additional stop lights on 99 as some people are discussing.
We need to apply for more federal funding to pay for congestion-battling plans.
We have been having congestion by design here with the hopes of getting people out of their cars. People are staying out of the city all-together and this harms business.
I like your little campaign you have going on in here. Can I have a bumper sticker? Maybe some pencils?
Leslie, thank you so much for answering my question. Did you see how Eyman kept changing the subject instead of giving me a straight answer? Tim is a hoot.
Now, the things you list all sound quite reasonable. So reasonable, in fact, that they were seen as attractive choices by many other cities in the past. More buses. Coordinated signals. Congestion pricing. Big, giant, juicy earmarks in the Federal budget. And so on and so forth. Every one of these things has been tried before, more than once.
Yet neither you, nor Tim Eyman, nor anyone else, can give me one example of congestion going down. At all. In other words, every one of these things has failed, and failed again.
So. The next question is obvious.
Why do you think doing these same things here in Seattle would work in spite of never working anywhere else?
(PS: No pencils for Mr. Poe. Bumper stickers are harmless, but trust me on this: no pencils ever.)
I really, really want some pencils, Leslie.
Are your tattoos fading? Have your piercings left permanent scars and holes in your body? Have you ever noticed what twenty year old tattoos look like on other people. The ink all run into a faded blob. Yuck! Oh well you were cool 2001-2003 now all you have left is the immature snark and your leader Dan Savage the oracle of Slog. OMG What if Dan quits? Who will guide you? Who will entertain you?
@25: Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
@10 for the knock out of the ballpark win!
@19 for the wonderful follow up.
And @25 and @27 for the pen vs sword clash!
I think Mr. Poe is envious that I only bought him two beers but talked with Amelia.
@24 They have had success with these suggestions in San Francisco.
@23 Sorry no pencils or bumper stickers--how about yard signs!
@23 Better yet, send me voters and if I make as one of the "top two" you can send me campaign contributions and I will buy pencils!
Will, why must you be so stupid? Do I really need to spell out what you blatantly misunderstood?

Japan Questions Its Costly Program to Predict Earthquakes
By ANDREW POLLACK
Published: January 13, 1998
TOKYO— SHORTLY after 1 P.M. one day last year, the silence of a room full of computers at the Japan Meteorological Agency was suddenly broken by a warning. ''An abnormal crustal change has occurred,'' a recorded voice announced.
A strain meter buried more than 600 feet beneath the ground some 100 miles southwest of Tokyo was showing unusual readings. Could this be a sign that a major earthquake was about to occur?
Akio Yoshida, director of the meteorological agency's earthquake prediction information division, pondered whether to summon the ''six wise men,'' a group of expert seismologists who always carry pagers for just such a situation.
The six would immediately be whisked by police cars to a special room in Tokyo, where each seat at the conference table has its own large flat-panel computer screen. If the wise men, after examining the data, concluded that a ''big one'' was imminent, Japan's Prime Minister would be asked to issue a warning for the region southwest of Tokyo in which four million people live.
Immediately, bullet trains there would stop, highway traffic would be diverted, schools and many businesses would close and hospitals would turn away outpatients to leave room for earthquake victims. Areas prone to landslides or tsunamis would be evacuated.
On this particular day, Mr. Yoshida concluded that because the abnormal readings were coming from only one strain meter, the problem was a broken instrument and the wise men were not summoned.
But the elaborate procedure, required by a 1978 law, attests to the seriousness with which Japan treats earthquake prediction. While most nations, including the United States, believe that forecasting earthquakes is next to impossible and have scaled back such efforts, Japan has continued to spend more than $100 million a year on the task, doing everything from burying strain meters to investigating whether fish get the jitters before upheavals.
But now Japan's program faces an overhaul as well. A government advisory committee report last summer concluded, in effect, that the nation has spent more than $1.3 billion over three decades in pursuit of a nearly impossible dream.
The report only added to questioning that has intensified since scientists failed to predict the massive Kobe earthquake that killed more than 6,000 people in January 1995.
It is not surprising that Japan places so much emphasis on earthquake prediction. This archipelago is one of the most seismically active in the world, lying at the juncture of four of the earth's tectonic plates, which regularly and violently shake the surrounding region as they grind past one another. Every Sept. 1, the anniversary of the Tokyo earthquake of 1923 that killed more than 140,000 people, millions of citizens engage in earthquake preparedness drills.
''If we can succeed, we can save lives and property,'' Mr. Yoshida said of the prediction efforts.
Forecasting hinges mainly on observing precursors of an earthquake, like foreshocks, crustal movements, changes in the chemical composition or level of ground water or even strange animal behavior.
The Tokyo metropolitan government once sponsored research on whether catfish swim strangely before an earthquake. The Japan Marine Science and Technology Center has a video camera on the bottom of Sagami Bay to observe anaerobic clams that live on top of hydrothermal vents on the sea floor. The hypothesis is that the prequake creaking of the earth might release more methane and sulfides from the sediments, making the clams more active.
The most intensive effort, however, is focused on the Tokai region southwest of Tokyo. It is the only area for which, by law, the wise men can be called and the Prime Minister issue a warning. Scientists said the area, where three tectonic plates come together, last had a huge earthquake in 1854 and is overdue for one of magnitude 8, considered a great earthquake. Two nearby earthquakes in the 1940's were preceded by slippages along the fault. So scientists reasoned that if the same pattern occurred in Tokai, an earthquake could be predicted.
The region is now blanketed by underground strain meters. There are also four seismic stations on the seabed offshore. Minute changes in the tilt of the earth are observed using a water-filled tube more than 1,000 feet long -- sort of a giant carpenter's level. In all, 186 measurements are made round the clock and transmitted to the computer-filled monitoring room in Tokyo.
But so far, there has been no earthquake. And the Earthquake Assessment Committee, as the six wise men are formally called, has never been paged. Nor has any earthquake in Japan been successfully predicted since the first five-year plan to develop prediction methods was started in 1965. Japan is now on its seventh such plan. Some claims elsewhere in the world of successful earthquake prediction, like one in China in 1975, are disputed.
So far, no reliable precursors have been found. Foreshocks, for instance, precede some earthquakes, but not others, and in many cases, small tremors occur that are not followed by big ones. Scientists often claim to have found precursors -- but only after the earthquake has occurred. After the Kobe earthquake, for instance, Hiroshi Wakita of the University of Tokyo found that chlorine levels in the water in one well rose during the 10 months before the quake. But skeptics said it is not clear whether that would have happened anyway.

Lizz Wright Embraces the Moment on 'Dreaming'
Set List: Lizz Wright
Wright plays a mix of originals and covers from her 'Dreaming Wide Awake':
- "A Taste of Honey"
- "Trouble"
- "Stop"
- "Hit the Ground"
Vocalist Lizz Wright debuted in 2003 with the album Salt, an eclectic mix of traditional jazz, R&B, and folk songs. Her latest album is Dreaming Wide Awake, featuring several original songs along with some inspired covers — including a version of Neil Young's "Old Man."
On her new CD, Wright continues to expand her gifts and technical training, moving toward the more personal sound of a singer-songwriter.
That choice is evident in her work on Neil Young's music, as well as on the lounge classic "A Taste of Honey" and her own "Trouble." The latter song represents her first efforts on guitar; previously, Wright had written for piano.

This paper presents a new ray-tracing acceleration technique called improved pixel selected ray-tracing (IPSRT), which is based on the reduction of ray-traced pixels using adaptive undersampling. In PSRT, the intensities of coarsely sampled pixels are calculated by regular ray-tracing, and the intensity of the pixels between sampled pixels is calculated by intensity interpolation if the characteristics of the sampled pixels are similar. However, in IPSRT, the similarities of the sampled pixels are classified into four levels, and the intensity of the pixels between sampled pixels is calculated by either intensity interpolation, ray-tracing along the ray path of a sampled pixel, or regular ray-tracing according to the results of the similarity check. Moreover, the danger of missing an object due to undersampling is reduced by using an efficient sampling algorithm. With these improvements, IPSRT can generate images of better quality than those generated by PSRT in the same or a shorter amount of time.

I think she was trying to figure out what that award was the whole time. I, in turn, was trying to figure out who Lauren Hutton is/was.
its obvious she has no respect at all for the award. and that is simply unacceptable.
The plug for the Olsen video was funnier than Hutton. And, no, I'm not going to check out the video of a drunk Olsen twin.
You know that bit about your life flashing before your eyes when you're about to die? It occurs to me that if the bullet, thousand-foot fall, cancer, or whatever doesn't actually kill gossip hosts like Zink, the embarrassment that comes with the replay of their career highlights might just do the job.

000 AXNT20 KNHC 250604 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 204 AM EDT MON JUL 25 2016 Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the Equator to 32N. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis. Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0545 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave is in the eastern Atlantic from 06N-17N with axis near 29W, moving W at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is associated with a 1012 mb low centered near 12N29W. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust intrusion into the wave environment, which is limiting the convection to scattered moderate S of the low center from 06N-10N between 23W and 33W. A tropical wave is in the west Atlantic from 07N-21N with axis near 54W, moving at 30 kt within the last 24 hours. CIRA LPW from the surface to 850 mb show mostly dry air in the wave environment. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust in the wave environment, which is hindering convection at the time. A tropical wave is in the Bay of Campeche S of 20N with axis near 94W, moving west at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. A cluster of heavy showers and scattered tstms over southern Mexico extends to the Bay of Campeche S of 19N between 92W and 95W. ...ITCZ/MONSOON TROUGH... The Monsoon Trough extends across Africa into the east Tropical Atlantic near 20N16W and then continues along 14N22W to a 1012 mb low near 12N29W to 07N36W to 07N43W. The ITCZ begins near 07N43W and continues west to 06N56W. Aside from the convection associated with the low pressure center, scattered moderate convection is from 07N-13N E of 23W. Isolated showers are within 120 nm north of the ITCZ west of 49W; similar convection is within 120 nm S of the monsoon trough between 33W and 41W. ...DISCUSSION... GULF OF MEXICO... Weak surface ridging continue to cover most of the basin N of 21N and provides gentle to moderate return flow. South of 21N, in the Bay of Campeche, a tropical wave is generating heavy showers and scattered tstms S of 19N between 92W and 95W. The latest scatterometer pass show fresh to strong NE winds within 120 nm off the western Yucatan Peninsula. For further information about the wave refer to the tropical waves section above. In the middle levels, a broad low centered over the SW Florida Peninsula covers the basin E of 90W while an inverted trough moves across SW Gulf waters. Divergent flow aloft between these two features along with abundant moisture in the basin support scattered moderate convection from 22N-25N between 87W and 92W. Isolated showers are elsewhere N of 22N between 85W and 95W and S of 27N E of 87W. Expect showers to continue in the Bay of Campeche through Monday near sunrise. A surface trough will develop and prevail in the SW Gulf the next two days with high pressure dominating elsewhere. CARIBBEAN SEA... A broad inverted trough in the upper levels along with shallow moisture in the NW Caribbean support isolated showers and tstms N of 15N W of 76W while farther east the remnants of a former surface trough support similar precipitation activity in the Windward Passage. Isolated showers are also possible for inland Hispaniola, the Mona Passage and Puerto Rico. Scattered showers and tstms are within 120 nm off Colombia associated with a 1006 mb low pressure near 09N73W. The gradient between this low and higher pressure in the Atlc extending to the northern Caribbean support fresh to strong winds S of 14N between 68W and 75W. This area of winds will prevail the next two days, increasing in areal coverage before Tuesday sunrise. Strong dry air subsidence from aloft support fair weather elsewhere. A tropical wave will enter the eastern Caribbean Monday night. ...HISPANIOLA... The remnants of a former surface trough support isolated showers in the Windward Passage and inland Hispaniola as well as the Mona Passage. Moisture associated with this trough will continue to enhance showers across the Island through early morning Tuesday. ATLANTIC OCEAN... Two tropical waves are moving across the Atlantic waters with no significant convection. Please refer to the waves section above for details. A middle level low centered over SW Florida support scattered showers across the Florida Straits and the Great Bahama Bank. Otherwise, surface ridging and fair weather dominate elsewhere. No major changes expected in the next two days. For additional information please visit http://www.hurricanes.gov/marine $$ RAMOS

I have two CAS/HUB servers (CAS1 & CAS2) and two Mailbox servers (MBX1 & MBX2). All four servers live on ESXi 4.0 hosts. CAS1 and MBX1 are on ESXA and CAS2 and MBX2 on ESXB. I am using the Microsoft NLB for my CAS Array. I have configured the NLB with the correct ports according to CAS template Microsoft has provided. My problem is this: CAS2 who is the primary CAS server that takes requests is unable to ping or access anything on MBX1 but is able to get to MBX2 And MBX1 can't talk to CAS2 but can talk to MBX2. MBX2 is able to ping MBX1. CAS1 can ping CAS2, MBX2, & MBX1. Going through a lot of different iterations on what could be causing this problem I moved all VM's to a single ESX host, ESXA, and everything started talking like it should. As soon as I moved one MBX, and it didn't matter which one, to the other ESX host communication to that MBX is lost. So my first thought would be a network problem with the ESX host. I rebuilt the vSwitch, and it didn't correct the problem. This only happens when a MBX server is moved. If I moved a CAS server no problems.
So my question, I think, revolves around Microsoft NLB. Is NLB the problem or is it some deep down network issue? and is the issue in the VM or on the ESX host?

Product cycles and the economy are having an impact on the razor category, putting pressure on prices that enjoyed greater elasticity earlier in the decade. These circumstances are prompting consumers to give lower-price alternatives a closer look. Retailers agree that the big product introductions, including Mach 3 and Fusion from Procter & Gamble's Gillette division and Quattro from Schick, were instrumental in driving the men's grooming business by creating excitement and awareness ...

Eddie Sabatini has a good watchdog, but nothing could protect her when crooks somehow told Social Security she wanted to change banks.
She's supposed to get a direct deposit every month, but October's check never came.
On top of that Social Security told her that she's the one who requested the change--that Eddie had asked for her money to be sent to GE Money Bank instead.
Eddie says she's never heard of GE Money Bank. She believes crooks found a way to divert her cash and rob the system.
Eddie explains, "I mean it's terrible what they're doing. Whoever did that got the check."
Eddie visited the Social Security office here on North Academy, and workers changed back her bank deposit information.
They also made sure another check was issued to her three weeks later.
Eddie was told by Social Security employees that others across the country were victims too.
Eddie remarks, "She said it was just rampant."
An online search does show others complaining of a breach just like Eddie's with Social Security funds going to a GE Money Bank account or being put on a GE Money Bank debit card.
GE Money Bank's fraud department called Eddie and explained it's investigating.
It warned her that her information had been compromised.
Social Security wouldn't comment and directed me to the U.S. Treasury Department.
I talked with three officials with the U.S. Treasury Department.
They explained they can't talk about Eddie's case, but a letter confirms they're investigating where her money went.
They say they still believe direct deposit is the safest way for Uncle Sam to deliver money to Social Security recipients. In fact, 90 percent of people get their funds that way.
To be on the safe side, I'm told those who collect Social Security via direct deposit should call or visit their local office to make sure the agency has their correct banking information.
I'm told recipients can also ask Social Security to list a relative on their account, so if any changes are ever made, that designated person is notified as well.

This looks like a bug in the ffcall library. It looks like ffcall did = not guess the correct calling convention for passing or returning this = struct. Is it possible for you to work with pointers to structs instead, as a = work-around? Sadly, I have no access to a 64bit machine. Could you add a test to ffcall/avcall/tests.c similar to the existing typedef struct { long l1; long l2; } J; J J_JiJ (J a, int b, J c) and report ffcall test results? That test shows that passing & returning a struct { long ; long } = works. struct { double; double } is untested and could make a difference. Regards, J=F6rg H=F6hle.

Let's get the tears and anger out of the way: Donovan is gone for the week living it up in LALA land so you have the blog bitch taking over to tell you EVERYthing that's wrong with the girls and boys of Idol this year and if you're lucky I'll throw one or two compliments into the mix.
Tonight the ol' show tries to mix things up as they're down to the Top 40 and are looking to go sudden death for a live audience as we leave the night with the Top 5 ladies from 10 who will sing of the total remaining 20. Complicated right? Randy tries to explain it and basically over the next four nights of idol groups of ten (by gender) will sing off and be pared down to their "best 5" according to the judges until only 20 remain to be voted on by the kids at home. Boys hit the stage tomorrow so it's the "5 years and still no winner" girls who start it off. The judges look covered in makeup while Mariah looks gorgeous and comes across as very well spoken when you remember the sad and go nowhere ramblings of past panelists like Paula and J Lo. Jimmy Iovine looks more disgustingly tanned than ever and Nicki manages to say "better BRING it" in the first ten seconds of speaking: huge shocker. Okay, click through and let's get this show on the road folks: PLEASE note that I picked these video versions for their quality and full length, each starts with an advert but just click the x in the top right corner to skip!
Click through to see the performances from tonight and read the rest of my review
Thought I'd give you an American Idol update two-fer today. Both artists came during Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler's tenure as Idol judges and both are holding guitars in their respective promo photos. Plus, the two coincidentally have a similar theme in the song titles. In all honesty, I was a little lazy to create separate posts for them. Busted!!!
First up is current reigning Idol winner, Phillip Phillips. The 22-year-old finally picked the follow-up song to his three-time platinum selling debut single, "Home." It's definitely a hard act to follow and won't have the Olympics to pimp the shizz out of it. That said, "Gone, Gone, Gone" is a worthy successor. If you liked "Home," you'll definitely appreciate this. As a side note, Phillips is probably hoping his newly-dropped music video will distract attention away from his mom's recent DUI arrest. You ain't a star til you have a parent in trouble with the law. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
While Phillips has the power of a big record label behind him, Casey Abrams doesn't have that same luxury. Even with that, "Get Out" still managed to peak at No. 23 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. Not too shabby, given that his former girlfriend Haley Reinhart barely made a blip despite massive promotion. With a new music video to promote his single, "Get Out" might find new life on radio and on the charts. I maybe a bit biased since Abrams was one of my favorites during Season 10, but I really like the song. Check out both music videos below.
Tonight's episode is why I have a love-hate relationship with American Idol. If the girls are supposed to be far superior to the boys this year, why only dedicate an hour to show the "best Hollywood solo performances" ever? Correction. Nigel only gave them 3/4 of the show and allotted some time for the boys' Top 20 eliminations and sing-off.
Speaking of sing-off, why are the judges putting two poor girls and guys up against each other to determine the last spot for each gender? I'm sure this could've been achieved without torturing the contestants one last time. Sometimes the show can be so cruel. I digress.
What Nigel did show was pretty effin' amazing. Based on what they showed tonight, it's clear that production has favorites and trying to pimp them hardcore. Not that I mind, because for the most part, I'm loving the girls they're showing, especially Angela Miller. All I have to say is "WOW". Check her performance below along with the others, including the aforementioned sing-offs.
I'm probably going to eat my words come May, but I REALLY BELIEVE that it's a girl's season to lose. Every year, Randy Jackson and whoever is on the panel claim the ladies are stronger than the boys. Based on this episode, I agree with this year's statement. That said, it all depends which girls make the final. There's so much talent, I hate the fact only five girls will be making it to the live rounds. Fingers crossed that another cute WGWG doesn't win American Idol Season 12.
Currently, I'm rooting for at least nine of them. A few of my early frontrunners include Candice Glover, Rachel Hale, Tenna Torres, Melinda Ademi, Janelle Arthur, Angela Miller, Breanna Steer, Cristabel Clack and Shuba Vedula. And that's just the girls that have been pimped thus far. There could be a Kelly Clarkson or Jessica Sanchez in the bunch whom the producers are hiding until the next round. Check out the group performances below and be sure to let me know which ones are your favorites and the contestants you're rooting for.
With the group round in the history books for the boys, it was time to take control of their destiny. The remaining 43 men had to perform a solo so powerful that the judges had no other option but to advance them to the next round. They only had a minute to achieve this during this pressure situation. Some handled it much better than others, while others let their emotions get the better of them.
Speaking of which, I have to give Nicki Minaj props for telling it like it is. More often than not, these musicians turned judges are afraid to voice their true opinion for fear of coming off unlikeable and alienating fans. Clearly by her commentary tonight, Minaj isn't afraid of this. The "Pound The Alarm" singer who looked an awful like Dee Snider from Twisted Sister last night, criticized contestants for their song choices, inability to control their tears and for using their backstory as a crutch. My favorite reading came when former Glee Project contestant Matheus Fernandes finished singing. Nicki called him out for using his small stature as an excuse for a pity party. OH SNAP. You go girl. BTW, I totally agree with her.
Obviously you can tell, I wasn't sad to see him go. I found him a little too arrogant. Also good riddance to Papa Peachez and Nicolas Mathis. The latter was way too angry with his elimination. Dude, you're only 23. This isn't the end of the world. The only person I'm really going to miss is Micah Johnson. He was the one who experienced complications during tonsil surgery. Micah took his elimination with stride and class. That's how you do it boys. Check out my favorite performances from the Hollywood solo round below. See if you agree with my choices.
My favorite part of every American Idol season is finally here. It's Hollywood Week which means bring on the drama. The first episode of this phase certainly didn't disappoint. Loved that for the first time, the boys and girls were separated for this round. This week we get the boys, and the girls the following week. Finally a call from Nigel Lythgoe I'm on board with.
To amp up the drama factor even more, producers Lythgoe and Ken Warwick had the brilliant idea of putting the groups together instead of letting the contestants control their own destiny. Clearly, when they assembled some of the teams they were hoping for conflict and hilarious situations. Cue group called Country Queens. They consisted of a couple of country bumpkins with two of the gayest singers ever to compete on the show. The gays came armed with glitter, fur vests, heels and makeup. Hilariously enough, the two queens advanced. LOL.
Besides the drama, another thing I love about Hollywood Week is seeing the arrogance of some of the contestants getting the better of them. Those who claim they won't forget the words only to do so a few minutes later always cracks me up. I have to admit, I relish seeing them get the boot. Only 43 contestants survived the group round and will return tomorrow for the solo performances. Only 20 male singers will advance to the next phase. Check out all the group performances below.
Since we're in the Hollywood Week phase of American Idol Season 12, I thought it was a perfect time to catch up on some of our favorite alums. We're one step closer to crowning this year's winner. He/She or some of this season's finalists might find themselves on this list in the coming years.
Forbes recently released their annual list ranking former American Idol contestants. Taking into account record sales, concert tours, acting jobs and other money-making gigs, the publication gives the low down on the earning power of your favorite Idol alums.
Last year's top dog Carrie Underwood, loses her crown and drops to runner-up status. Making his debut on the list is Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery. He clocks in at No. 4. His addition bumps off Fantasia Barrino and Clay Aiken from the list. The two ranked No. 4 and No. 9 respectively on the previous rankings. Check out who's the HBIC on the Idol campus now. I think you might have a good idea. Here's a hint… they're "stronger" than ever. I've also embedded each singer's most recent music video below for those who aren't familiar with everyone's post-Idol career. Hope you enjoy the list.
It wouldn't be an American Idol season without a controversy surrounding one of its contestants. The second I saw Matt Farmer at the Long Beach auditions, I knew there was something fishy about him. I just thought it was because my gaydar was beeping hardcore, but as it turns out, he fabricated his exit from the military. I don't understand how anyone thinks they can get away with a lie on such a huge platform as American Idol. You really have to be some sort of delusional nut.
After firstly denying the claims that he lied about being injured in an IED explosion during his deployment, the Idol hopeful finally came clean. Most probably due to his former boss and colleagues calling him out. Farmer even had the gall to claim medication he took to treat his injuries were supposed to make him sterile. Cue his adorable "miracle" baby. As it turns out, the 26-year-old was discharged for using banned substances and alcohol. Check out his lengthy mea culpa below along with his Idol audition.

Media Slut-Shaming's In the P-I
posted by March 17 at 11:59 AMon
All weekend, the top post on the P-I's Big Blog has been a post by Monica Guzman on Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the prostitute at the center of the Eliot Spitzer scandal. It's… well, there's just so much wrong with it, I'm going to re-post most of it here and let you read for yourself.
Let's start wth the headline:
Ashley Alexandre Dupre: His fall is her rise
Um, Monica? Getting two million people to listen to your crappy song online is not a "rise" of the same magnitude as Spitzer's "fall." Realistically, she'll write a tell-all, go on the talk shows, pose for Penthouse, and disappear from history. End of story.
But sure, whatever, go with it.
It's been very amusing, watching the talking heads discuss Ashley Alexandra Dupre's future. Barely restraining an eyeroll, they said with disgust the last couple nights what seems shameful to accept: The prostitute who brought New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer down is most likely on her way up.
Shameful? No, what's shameful is that sentence. What's shameful is talking about a prostitute as if she's less than human, as if her profession is somehow inherently… well, take it away, Monica:
Just two days after the New York Times revealed her identity, several Facebook groups have sprouted from Dupre's sudden infamy.
You might think most of them would point out the shame in her profession…
AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!! The dumb! It burns!
or call her out for her part, however unwitting, in destroying a popular politician. But you'd be wrong.
What I love about this particular framing device—and Guzman is hardly the only writer who's latched onto it, by any means—is that it completely reverses the usual prostitute-as-faceless-victim narrative. (See, for example, any story ever about crimes committed against prostitutes—the women in those stories never have agency or the ability to take actions on their own; they're "prostituted" victims of forces beyond their control.) "Destroy" a politician, however, and you're suddenly the most powerful woman in the world. And the former governor of New York? Why, he has no agency whatsoever.
But oh, does it get better from here.
There are obvious parallels here with Amanda Knox. The instant online reaction to that Seattle student's alleged involvement in a racy Italian murder last year was voracious, viral and cruel. She was a good girl gone bad. The thrill was in her downfall. Dupre, on the other hand, is a high-priced prostitute. She's bad already. For the people following her drama, the thrill will be in her rise.
Read that again and you'll see that—apart from being aggressively moronic—it almost literally makes no sense. Prostitute who gets entwined in a federal investigation=alleged murderer and accomplice to rape. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Apparently, Dupre knows it — and she's OK with it. Knox took down her Facebook profile and made her MySpace page private in the days after her story broke. But yesterday — yes, yesterday — Dupre created her own Facebook fan page to promote her music (note: As of 1 p.m., the page could no longer be reached on Facebook). Today at 12:30 p.m., Dupre's page had well over 600 fans.
That dirty slut! Doesn't she know that what she's supposed to do is issue an apologetic statement, then go hide under a rock somewhere until everybody forgets about how she single-handedly brought down the governor? For SHAME!
Maybe Dupre will break out of obscurity. Maybe she will get a recording contract, or a book deal, because she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the right man — and the right audience. Maybe we'll make her not just infamous, but famous. The real question is, what does that say about us?
Well, nothing very profound: People get famous for dumb reasons all the time. But thanks for playing.

DVD Authoring on Linux
Authoring video DVDs with Linux was a problem for a long time, but a few useful tools are closing the gap. And Q-DVD-Author gives you a handy front-end for controlling the process.
Finished at last: after weeks of tinkering with your video-editing software, that long-winded video of your last summer holiday has finally become a presentable and enjoyable home movie. But now what? Today's upwardly mobile urban generation will not accept anything less than a DVD, not to mention the menu, chapter selections, and the other goodies found in commercial video DVDs. Obviously, your normal burning tool isn't going to help you, since it expects special movie and filesystem formats and a complex menu structure rather than a simple home movie. In other words, you need a DVD authoring tool. Box 1 has in-depth information on DVD video formats for those of you interested in more detail.

New Belgium Brewing Company
Its antiseptic properties are well documented, especially in Scotland, where bog myrtle also gets credit as an effective insect repellent. Over the centuries, the wild shrub has been used to impart bitterness to beer. Ditto horehound, yarrow and wormwood.
Collectively, these medicinals work magic on New Belgium Brewing Company's Gruit, an ancient style that grew out of Scotland, where the harsh climate is unfriendly to hops.
Gruit pours hazy and golden, with a bright, white head. The Colorado brewer adds elderflower and a pinch of hops along with oats and wheat to round out the herbal flavor, which is lush and bright, with flavors of bitter lemon, white pepper, spruce and pineapple. It reminds me of some of the better saisons out of Belgium.
Gruit, part of New Belgium's premium "Lips of Faith" series, finishes quite dry. It's 6.6 percent alcohol by volume and makes for fine summer refreshment.

Smith's lawyer-companion and two doctors are accused of illegally providing the Playboy playmate with controlled substances before her death from an accidental overdose in 2007.
Smith's lawyer-companion, Howard K. Stern, faces 11 felony counts including supplying drugs to an addict, providing drugs that were prescribed under his name and conspiracy to commit a crime. The two doctors face six felony counts including unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance.
The judge overseeing the case has informed the jury that the defendants are not on trial for causing Smith's death.

GRAND RAPIDS — Michelle Wie withdrew from the Meijer LPGA Classic on Thursday with a right hand/wrist injury.
Wie played the front nine and was 5-over. She started even through six holes and said the injury got worse as the afternoon went on.
She was clearly favoring it on the ninth hole at Blythefield Country Club.
"It just started hurting last week and started getting worse, and it got to the point where I couldn't really hold a club," Wie said. "I am going to get an MRI and see what my next steps are."
The Meijer LPGA Classic continues the rest of the weekend. Next week is the LPGA Championship.
"Hopefully I can play next week," she said.

Real Madrid v Barcelona Odds: Messi and Ronaldo dominate the goalscorer betting markets
The latest instalment of 'El Clasico' is live on Sky Sports on Wednesday night as Real Madrid and Barcelona go head-to-head in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final. It is a fixture that rarely fails to capture the imagination and there is plenty at stake this week as Real bid to improve on a disappointing season so far.
Jose Mourinho's team find themselves 15 points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona as their title defence looks set to prove fruitless this term. Real go into this home fixture at the Bernabeu as underdogs as they are available at 15/8 in the match odds, while Barcelona can be backed at 5/4 and the draw is 13/5 with Ladbrokes.
Mourinho has plenty to prove following criticism from fans in recent weeks and there is talk that he is likely to leave the club in the summer. His job isn't made any easier by the absence of several key players this week though as Iker Casillas and Pepe are injured, while Sergio Ramos, Di Maria and Fabio Coentrao are all suspended.
The long list of absentees will be a real worry ahead of the visit of Barca, who take a fully fit squad to the Bernabeu following Gerard Pique's returns from suspension. Barca are currently 4/9 odds on to qualify for the final, while Real are priced 13/8 as they look to extend a 31-match unbeaten run at home.
However, their record at the Bernabeu in this Real Madrid v Barcelona fixture is poor as they have won just one of the last eight, while Barca were the last team to win here back in January 2012. It is a fixture that is always dominated by the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and the world's leading footballers will go head-to-head once more.
Ronaldo and Messi scored all four goals in a 2-2 draw when the sides met in La Liga in October and Ladbrokes offer 10/1 for Messi and Ronaldo to both score two or more goals in Wednesday's match. Ronaldo has scored in each of his last six appearances in this fixture and he is 7/2 to be first goalscorer after notching eight goals in his last four home games.
Ronaldo, who has scored 179 goals in 176 appearances for Real, grabbed a hat-trick in Real's 4-0 win over Getafe on Sunday, although Messi again outshone him by scoring four in Barca's 5-1 win over Osasuna. Messi is 3/1 favourite to score first with Ladbrokes bookmakers, who are offering to refund losing first scorer bets if Messi scores first or last this week.
There has certainly been plenty of goals in this fixture in recent years as the last 10 meetings between these teams has seen both teams score, while six of the last nine have involved over 3.5 goals. More than three goals on Wednesday is a 6/5 punt, although for a touch more value it could be worth a look at over 3.5 goals and Barca to win combined at 18/5.
Barca, whose last nine in all competitions have gone over 3.5, arrive at the Bernabeu in form having won 15 of their last 18 games. They have won eight of their last nine away from home and they could take advantage of Real's injury and disciplinary problems, with Ladbrokes offering 16/1 for Barca to win 3-2.

Technology has turned what used to be a blurry, difficult to hear experience into something most spectacular. There is nothing quite like enjoying a yummy picnic, followed by a favorite movie. Many of these events are free, and practically every community in the greater LA area has an outdoor movie event. This week, a classic that never disappoints kids or their adults, Toy Story, plays at the Brentwood Country Mart. The Leonis Adobe in Calabasas dates back to the 1800s and offers a genuine glimpse at our rural days of yore with its Lil Ranchers Days summer activities for kids. This week's edition, "Cooking on the Ranch," offers more than just food related fun: kids can feed livestock, experience an authentic blacksmith demonstration, and explore the grounds. Sagebrush Cantina, conveniently located next door, has a free lunch for any kids with a coupon from the Adobe. And this week marks the final run of the season for grunion at Cabrillo Marine aquarium. Something every resident or visitor to our city should experience at least once, a grunion run is a one-of-a-kind natural, nighttime, phenomenon. While grunion can be spotted elsewhere on our shores, the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium's accompanying movie and egg hatching presentation are worth the drive to San Pedro. Read more.

Procaine has opposite effects on the active transport of Na+ when applied on the mucosal side of the frog skin [where it produces a stimulation of the short-circuit current (I sc)] or when added on the serosal side (where it produces an inhibition ofI sc). In an attempt to reveal and localize the primary effect of procaine on either the apical or latero-basal membranes of the epithelial cells, we have tried to "chemically dissect" both membrane functions with inhibitors and ionophores. When applied on the apical side of the latero-basally depolarized epithelium, 25 mmol/l procaine increasesI sc andV oc (transepithelial open-circuit potential), while decreasing the transepithelial resistance. TheE 1−E 2 linearity domain of the I–V curves is narrowed. On the serosal side of the depolarized epithelium, the same concentration of procaine does not affectI sc andV oc (which are already inhibited) but it produces an increase in the transepithelial resistance (R t). Procaine influence on the passive K+ permeability was studied by using the ionophore nystatin, which is assumed to form channels permeable to K+, when applied on the amiloride blocked apical membrane. In nystatin-treated epithelia, 25 mmol/l procaine on the apical side decreaseI sc,V oc andR t. In parallel experiments during Cl− substitution by SO 4 2− , the procaine effects onI sc andV oc are no longer maintained, but transient. The results suggest that procaine positively influences the Na+ transient through the apical Na+-channels, and inhibits the epithelial permeability for K+, possibly by reducing K+-ions accessibility to the K+-channels.
