Wordless Wednesday | fear
A girlfriend sent me this photo when she heard about how stressed separation anxiety has made our Beary. I don't know who this fuzzy friend is, but that's one definite hold-me-tight-and-don't-ever-let-me-go cuddle! Please take me home. I don't want treats. I'll … Continue reading

I noticed a change in the shado-pan monastary heroic dungeon where you fight the sha of 'what ever' once you enter the pagoda there were 2 rings rotating with a few trapped sha-lings inside it. Usually people ran around it as it looked solid or it might aggro the sha-lings inside if you entered it, which you can't aggro them but you could pass through it. I liked jumping inside it like I was one of the kryptonian criminals (Zod) from the second superman movie. I went to jump inside it yesterday during a pug and smacked into a solid wall. I had an image in my head of a worgan warlock sliding down the glass with a squeegie smeering sound.
Its now impassable.

elegon sparks die more quickly and there is less dammage in the final phase

vehemently dissagree on changes to raid finder being made. people should have the choice not to augment a failed raid or have to run twice just because others cannot handle content that is so watered down that a cave man can do it.
blizzard's reasons are not valid. if I am there merely for valor I enjoy getting a 2/6 que if I am there to gear an alt I should not be forced to que two raids and then leave another group minus a player because there is no incentive to down bosses once loot locked.
And how will help me this ? I'm a miner - skiner , I have no herbalism , so the increased herb lotus drop rates don't help me at all .
I'm fkin out in the world actively playing , but have no herbalist , and that mean I will keep geting just Spirits of Harmony. But they nerfed the vendor, so now I will get only 2 flasks instead of 3 .
Got to grind more so I'll be able to raid. First the endless dailies ... now this... Thanks Blizzard again . Another step to the total burnout. I already feel the end is near. I really can't take it anymore.
Project abandoned.

Yeah, you can, but it is extremely unlikely/rare according to Blizzard which reflects my experience in LFR (never had it happen, ever, during the existence of LFR, and I did quite a lot of LFR in DS and now do it on 1-3 chars a week).

Doing It Your Way: Approaches to Research Data Management for Libraries
Director's Musings
Barbara Epstein, Director
The need for better management of research data, and opportunities to promote new roles for librarians, were identified by the MAR Academic Libraries Special Advisory Group as a priority. In April 2013, MAR sponsored a training workshop at the University of Pennsylvania for one or two representatives from each of our Resource Libraries. The response was so positive that our Advisory Group encouraged us to plan a more expansive program as a follow-up.
So one year later in April 2014, we sponsored a 2-day symposium on research data management in libraries, hosted by The Rockefeller University in New York City. We titled the program Doing It Your Way because we realize that every library is unique and will develop services most appropriate to its own clientele. We're pleased to report that there were 143 registrants from 23 states and Canada, including 12 speakers from 9 states.
The first morning featured three keynote speakers: Paul Harris, Director of Office of Research Informatics at Vanderbilt University; Keith Webster, Dean of Libraries at Carnegie Mellon University; and Jared Lyle from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan. The afternoon program offered three breakout sessions with presentations by librarians actively involved in research data management.
On the second day, Sherry Lake and Andrea Horne Denton from the Research Data Services Team at the University of Virginia offered a half-day workshop on best practices in data collection and management.
Evaluation feedback from attendees was extremely positive. Nearly 90% reported that information gained the symposium will make a difference in how they do their job. Some typical comments included: "This was perfectly timed for me and ideal in its scope;" "Appreciated the balanced perspective between the theoretical and the practical;" and "The MAR staff and the planning committee did a wonderful job in presenting a highly relevant program on a subject about which we can't learn enough."
We are grateful to our planning group, who worked very hard to identify speakers and topics. Members included:
- Donna Berryman, University of Rochester
- Carol Feltes, The Rockefeller University
- Nancy Glassman, Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
- Phoebe Stein, New York Medical College
- Alisa Surkus, New York University
- Melissa Ratajeski, University of Pittsburgh
In addition, Renae Barger, MAR Executive Director, and Missy Harvey, MAR Technology & Communication Coordinator, spent many hours pulling together all the details involved with programming, logistics, speaker arrangements, budgets, registration and marketing.

Van Ingen qualifies for NCAA Cross Country Championship
November 16, 2010
TweetFor the second year in a row, senior Erik van Ingen has qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championship, which will be held Nov. 22 at Indiana State University. He made the meet based on his 12th-place finish at the NCAA Northeast Regional Meet on Saturday.
The top three teams from the Northeast Regional Meet (Iona, Syracuse and Providence) all qualified for the NCAA Championships. The top four individual finishers not on one of the qualifying teams also made the meet. Van Ingen grabbed the fourth and final spot.
Last season, van Ingen was seventh at the Northeast Regional Meet.

Further commercial real estate progress may occur in the United States during the next several months, as planned projects continue to pick up steam.
The Dodge Momentum Index rose to 128.7 in June 3.3 percent higher than May's level of 124.6, according to a report from McGraw Hill Construction. This was the third monthly gain in a row, and was significantly higher than the benchmark level of 100. The gain meant that there could be a boost in construction spending within the next year. May's level was also 22.6 percent higher than the same point in 2013.
For the commercial building measurement, the figure spiked to 144.6 in June, 8.3 percent higher than in May, when it was 133.5, the report noted. However, the institutional building reading fell to 109, 4 percent lower than May's figure of 113.5. Despite this, it was still well above the benchmark reading.
Architecture billings climb during May
While projections of future construction remained relatively positive, building design requests also showed improvement during the first half of the year. According to the Architecture Billings Index from the American Institute of Architects, building design requests rose to 52.6 in May, significantly improved from April's level of 49.6. This also helped the figure back into positive territory, as it rose higher than the benchmark of 50. When at or above that level, it notes that overall building design requests grew.
"Volatility continues to be the watchword in the design and construction markets, with firms in some regions of the country, and serving some sectors of the industry, reporting strong growth, while others are indicating continued weakness," said Kermit Baker, chief economist at AIA. "However, overall, it appears that activity has recovered from the winter slump, and design professions should see more positive than negative numbers in the coming months."
There also was a gain in the new projects inquiry index, as it improved to 63.2 in May, notably better than April's figure of 59.1, even though both were well above the threshold, the report showed. The design contracts index was also in positive territory, as it rose to 52.5.
Three of the four sectors measured were in positive range in May. The report added that multifamily residential posted a figure of 58.2, while commercial/industrial was at 53.6. Mixed practice also reached positive levels, as it was at 50.4.

'By the Grace of God, My Weapon Misfired': Senate Committee Hears Testimony From Iraq Veteran Calling for Better Mental Health Care
WASHINGTON, July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Testifying for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), former Army infantryman Daniel Williams of Alabama was the lead witness today before the Senate Veterans Committee, describing his struggles trying to get help for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since 2004.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100216/NAMILOGO)
"An improvised explosive device injured my body, my brain and my mind. The most severe of my injuries is PTSD, an invisible injury no one can see but that haunts my every move," he said."From the moment I got injured until the time that I was honorably discharged, I received very little help from the Army."
"I went to the base clinic, but was told I would need to wait six months before I could get an appointment with a psychiatrist...I attempted suicide [with] a .45 caliber pistol while locked in the bathroom. My wife called the police."
"When they kicked open the door I pulled the trigger, but by the grace of God the weapon misfired. The officers handcuffed me and seated me in the back of a police car. One officer attempted to clear my weapon, but the same round that refused to kill me went off perfectly for him. Thankfully, no one was injured."
In the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system, Williams felt lost and without guidance.
"It took over a year to receive my medical evaluation board decision."
After a confrontation with a receptionist and police in 2007, one doctor intervened and "finally listened." He arranged for weekly therapy, proper medications, support groups, classes and a local recovery coordinator.
Today, Williams serves on the medical center's veterans' mental health council.
NAMI is calling for greater outreach and coordination of services and family education within the VA system.
The VA sees only a quarter of the nation's 23 million veterans and many of those receive no mental health care.
Intergovernmental and public-private solutions are essential, as well as veterans' mental health courts to divert into treatment those who may encounter the criminal justice system, Williams said.

NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

2012 Fantasy Football Week 6: Team Defense Rankings & Projections
The Steelers lost Troy Polamalu to another injury against the Eagles, but they should make quick work of the Titans on Thursday night. Around this time last year, Pittsburgh was struggling and a beat-up Ben Roethlisberger led them to a big victory against a Tennessee defense that appeared to be on the rise.
The Titans should get something going as the season moves along, but for now they are likely the worst team and offense in football.
What Did We Learn From Week Five?
- It appears the 49ers' struggles in Minnesota were just one fluky game, as they've made both the Jets and Bills look embarrassingly bad in recent weeks. Perhaps the most impressive stat I've seen isn't the three total points they've given up in the past two weeks, but that they only gave up 126 passing yards to Ryan Fitzpatrick in a 45-3 blowout.
This is a group that will come after you all game, no matter the score.
- The Bengals weren't horrible on defense, but they need the offense to run up the score in order to play the kind of opportunistic football we need from them to be a fantasy relevant option. It could happen this week against the Browns, but don't hold your breath as Joe Haden returns to the Browns defense.
- The Rams are playing some good football through five weeks and their winning record is proof. Expect Robert Quinn and Chris Long to give Ryan Tannehill problems, but they are a fringe starting option this week in the end.
Sean's Week Six Watch List
- It's been a pathetic couple of weeks for the Bills defense, but then again, they were playing two of the better teams in football. This week they play a Cardinals offense that has given up 16 sacks in the past two weeks. Expect the Bills defense to get back on track.
- After watching the Cowboys offense since their win against the Giants, it's hard not to recommend the Ravens as one of the elite options at defense this week. Then again, we've seen Tony Romo put good games together, when many counted him out so this could be a trap game for the Ravens.
Even if that happens, we should like the Ravens odds of sacking Romo at least three or four times and likely picking him off once or twice.
- If Robert Griffin fails to play for the Redskins, the Vikings defense becomes a great start in fantasy leagues. Let's see if they can keep their winning ways going as Adrian Peterson returns to the field where he busted his knee last year.

Canada 2 - OWHA All-stars 3
HOT GOALTENDING THE STORY AS OWHA TOPS CANADIAN U18S TORONTO, Ont. – The chances were there for Canada's National Women's Under-18 Team on Wednesday night, but the execution was not. Canada directed 47 shots at the Ontario Women's Hockey Association All-Stars, but could only manage a pair of goals in a 3-2 loss at the Mastercard Centre in its final pre-tournament game before the 2010 IIHF World Women's Under-18 Championship begins this weekend in Chicago, Ill. The Canadian side managed at least 13 shots in each period but was denied time and time again by the OWHA trio of Nicole Paniccia, Kristy Garrow and Lisa Steffes, all of whom attended the U18 selection camp back in August but were not selected for the final roster. Despite being outshot 13-7 in the opening period it was the OWHA who hit the scoreboard first, thanks to an individual effort by Kelly Babstock, who froze Canadian goaltender Carmen MacDonald (Pictou, N.S./Westminster School, U.S. Prep) and gave the Ontarians a 1-0 lead. Canada pulled even just past the six-minute mark of the second period when Jessica Campbell (Melville, Sask./Pursuit of Excellence, Midget AAA) finished off a pretty pass from Jillian Saulnier (Halifax, N.S./Toronto, PWHL) to make it 1-1. But a turnover in the neutral zone eight minutes later led to a 2-on-1 for the OWHA, and Babstock set up Danielle Gagne to restore the one-goal advantage heading into the second intermission. The Canadian offence really turned up the pressure in the third period, outshooting the OWHA 20-5, but Ally Tarr gave the Ontario side some insurance on a power play at 8:15, converting a pass from Vanessa Welten for the 3-1 goal. That goal turned out to be very important after Christine Bestland (Brunkild, Man./Pursuit of Excellence, Midget AAA) scored for Canada with goaltender Erica Howe (Orleans, Ont./Ottawa, PWHL) on the bench for an extra attacker in the dying minutes to get the Canadians to within one. A late power play and a pulled goaltender gave Canada a 6-on-4 advantage for the final 40 seconds, but Steffes held her ground to hand Canada its second pre-tournament loss in as many days. After six days in Toronto, Canada's National Women's Under-18 Team heads south of the border on Thursday to prepare for its world championship opener on Saturday (5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT) against Russia. |

Movie SummaryThe Sea that Thinks
Description: Consciousness, the individual's perception of reality, and humans' place in the universe are among the underlying themes of this philosophical Dutch feature. Bart (Bart Klever) is a screenwriter whose latest project is a script entitled The Sea That Thinks. What he writes is what's happening around him, and in time what he's writing begins to affect what's around him, as his screenplay becomes layered with increasing levels of notes and observations about the reality of his life. As reality begins to turn on him, Bart finds himself caught in a variety of strange illusions that lead him to wonder just what is real and what is not. While the film's reflexive, self-referential nature straddles a fine line between fiction and reality, this didn't prevent De Zee Die Denkt from winning the VPRO Joris Ivens Award at the 2000 International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

There is a reason why many are considering Kree Harrison a front-runner to win "American Idol" Season 12. And Kree's show-opening killing of "With a Little Help from My Friends" on Beatles night showed that well. We talked to the singer right after the show — find out what she had to say in this interview.
How are you feeling?
Kree Harrison: I feel great! Really good. I mean, the judges' feedback was awesome. Randy and Mariah tricked me for a minute, so that was a little nerve-wracking. I literally had a minor heart attack when she was like, "I didn't like it." And I was like, "Please, please like it!" But it worked out.
How did it feel going first?
Kree Harrison: That was the most nerve-wracking thing about it. It's a lot of pressure to go first. 'Cause, not only do you have to beat your last performance, but, you know, all the night. We'll see. America will determine what happens.
Why did you pick your song?
Kree Harrison: I love that song! I love Joe Cocker's version especially, so I tried to marry the two versions. I just love that song! It's fun, and I mean every word to it, because I have amazing friends.
How has your confidence changed from the beginning of this whole journey to today?
Kree Harrison: You know what? Living in Nashville for so long, you kind of feel like a needle in a haystack, because there are such amazing musicians and singers. And being in this competition now, I know I'm respected for being the artist I am, staying true to country. And the fact that they praise me for that is all I have ever wanted. I think that's boosted my confidence more than anything.
Did you have another performance tonight that stood out to you?
Kree Harrison: I'm not going to answer that! I felt like everybody really brought their A-game, I really do. I think that Candice owned the crowd. That's what I think. We were all backstage like, "Come together!" We all loved it.
How was it hearing your video about your parents right before?
Kree Harrison: I didn't listen. I couldn't listen. I didn't, because they kind of warned me ahead of time that it was gonna be emotional, and I assumed that it would be about it. So I just thought to myself, "This is a happy song, and I wanna enjoy this and not be…" I wanted to live in the moment rather than think about anything else. I just kind of zoned out during that part. Even though it was in my in-ears, I was just kind of "Lalalalala… Going to sing now!"
Having gone through an elimination now, does the competition feel more serious?
Kree Harrison: Of course it's pressure. You know what I mean? But like I told you last time, we get to go on tour together, whatever happens. But of course I want to stay — I want to win this! I think, more than anything, I want to get to the hometown parade. I just think that going back to that would be amazing. Hopefully, I'll make it that far. But we'll see.
You've been in LA for awhile now, do you get to go out?
Kree Harrison: No. Well, it's a bittersweet thing. 'Cause even if we get time off, we're so tired. I sit, honestly, I sit around and color. Like a five year old. And it somehow relaxes me. It literally zones me out. Candice, one of her friends sent her a SpongeBob coloring book — because SpongeBob is her favorite — and I like definitely stole it and I colored like half of the coloring book.
Was tonight different, knowing that you were in the Top 3 last week?
Kree Harrison: Yeah.
It was. Because I thought to myself, "What if people think, 'Oh, she's
safe'"? And they don't vote for me because I'm in the top. And also I
was first, so I need to make sure I put a stamp on it so they don't
forget to vote for me 'cause they just heard 8 other amazing
performances. I don't know — it's always pressure. I'm really just
appreciative to be here. And then get to sing a Beatles song for
America. That's pretty bad**s.
How did it feel, being in the Top 3 last week? Were you expecting that?
Kree Harrison: I wasn't expecting it. I felt so much love, and the support is overwhelming. And I can't wait to go on tour and thank everyone personally!
"American Idol" will air the Top 9 results on Thursday, March 21 at 8pm on FOX.

Paying homage to one of the first pieces created by Expormim in the 1970s, Nautica—designed by Mut Design—is intended to surprise and rethink the use of rattan, just as the first version did. No matter if it hangs from a tree branch—or from a floor-standing structure—Nautica stands out thanks to the subtle play of shadows. Despite its visual lightness, the piece is notable for its sturdiness and resistance. It is also suitable for any sort of space, always inviting to enjoy its sway.

I come home from work to find a pile of cat vomit on the living room rug. I clean up what I can and spray a foaming carpet cleaner on the stain.
I leave the room.
Upon my return, my cat Lucifer (Lucy, for short) is hunched over the foamy white mass, sniffing. And sniffing. Then twitching and sniffing some more. I yell, "Get away from that!" and she runs a few feet away and lays down.
Then she rolls onto her back and makes that cooing noise, as if to say, "How can you be mad at me when I'm this disgustingly cute?" A minute later, I notice she's twitching like she does when she gets a hit of the kitty cocaine. She looks at the beckoning pile of foam and realizes sniffing it is like catnip.
But now she has a dilemma. She's been instructed to stay away from the pile of magical happy foam. So she rolls over again. Then again. Then a third time, but on the third roll she kicks her feet and moves a foot closer. She continues this rolling-cooing-kicking motion until she's a foot from the pile, at which point I yell and she runs across the room again.
Now we're playing red light, green light. Every time I turn to type this she inches ever closer to the evaporating pile of foam. There is an urgency in her eyes; she can see the pile is shrinking.
Eventually, I'll invert a bucket on the pile to remind her that life sucks, but for now I'll let her hope.
Eddie's flat.
The locals call him the Preacher, the Holy Man.
They don't think of him as a monk - probably never did. The first they really heard from him was his wedding, I think, and married Hare Krishna monks come as a surprise to small-town Irish Catholics. I guess he doesn't think of himself as a monk right now either, probably not since after the breakdown of his marriage, but maybe going back to before then. He's still a religious man, no doubt - still listens to lectures, chants, has holy books and posters arrayed around his bed. He is drinking again, though, and as my middle brother remarked when I mentioned this -
'If he's drinking, he's fighting.'
He wasn't wrong; Eddie's gone right back to his roots.
'Put it this way,' he says to me. 'You guys have always known I was an Irish Gypsy, right? Well, now I really really am.'
He spends much of my stay regaling me with tales of violence. He is a fine storyteller, if sometimes prone to tangents and frequent re-tellings. The stories I hear the most are these:
Eddie's drinking in one of the locals when this girl he's been chatting to gets the wrong idea and 'cries wolf', and some guy a couple of feet taller than him appears out of nowhere, grabs him by the throat and pushes him out of the pub.
After he's gone back in, Eddie follows him to get his pint only to find it gone, and demands a refund from the bar. The barman expresses reluctance, so Eddie whips a biro from each pocket and makes it clear that he means to get his fucking money back. He keeps the pens in his pockets because he is a writer, he'd tell the police if he needed to, and it's largely true. He often keeps a holy book in his bag, should any further proof be needed that he is a peaceful man.
When he's obtained a full refund, the guy who just pushed him out of the pub is still standing there vibing him; so Eddie explains that if he tries anything else he'll gouge both his eyes out and make sure it looks like self defence. He quickly gets in a cab and leaves.
Eddie is drinking in the same pub a little while later, although he is now barred. The barman who barred him - the guy he threatened with the biros - is off-duty, but he tips off the manager that he's supposed to be barred so Eddie is asked to leave. Things start to look ugly, and the off-duty guy is threatening to smack Eddie over the head with a snooker cue when a huge bouncer appears and politely forces Eddie out of the pub in less time than it takes for him to figure out what's going on.
The next day Eddie returns to talk to the bouncer - 'You're the Strong Man, aren't you?' he asks, and the bouncer concurs but manoeuvres Eddie out of the door.
'Don't shove me!' says Eddie, but the Strong Man explains that he wasn't really shoving - he's just seven feet tall and big for his height, and he needed to make it clear to him that he couldn't drink there that night.
'That's fine', says Eddie, 'I just wanted to show you something...'
The something is a picture of him with his departed wife, at their wedding.
'What do you think?' 'Beautiful.' 'Well, that's my wife, and she left me. So I'm sorry about last night, but I'm still recovering...' 'You'll get over it,' says the Strong Man, and shakes his hand. 'You're grand.'
Eddie was freaking out one night about the awful state of his life and the difficulty of keeping on going.
'You're among friends here,' says a friend. 'I don't care about you,' dissents someone else who he'd thought was a friend. 'I hate you and your wife.'
Eddie is too upset to say much to this at the time, but later on he fills a plastic bag with piss and shit and shoves it through the guy's letterbox. He justifies this from scripture - 'the true devotee will act like fire against those who blaspheme against Krishna or his true devotees,' or as he puts it -
'It's not about personal glory - it says don't fuck with Hare Krishnas, and my wife's a Hare Krishna and so am I.'
or more simply:
'You talk shit, expect shit through your letterbox.'
Eddie tells me about different levels of recognition accorded to folk in the Irish Traveller community.
'There's Tinkers; there's Travellers; there's Clan; and then, there's the Real Clan.'
His father accepted him as Real Clan just a few days ago, and Eddie is deeply honoured. It is one of the things giving him hope. It means he's a Made Man, he explains; it was like that scene from Goodfellas, complete with the old friend of his father's shaking his hand proudly.
'If you ever fuck me around with this or take it away after it's meant something to me,' he warned his father, 'I'll probably have to kill you'. 'That's why I'm Real Clan,' he tells me later.
He gets me to take a couple of pictues of him posing with sunglasses and a knife and no shirt - 'Two Days After Becoming a Made Man' - and tells me to make sure that my middle brother frames a copy of one and hangs it up as a ward against people who might want to rip him off. He can tell them about his brother, a Made Man in the second most powerful family in southern Ireland, who would gladly kill for him.
While I'm there I finish reading his first novel, a violent yet Krishna-conscious yarn set in the Tinker community of nineteenth-century London and woven together out of fight stories from his Tinker family and friends and his own violent youth and imagination. He tells me he's finished his fifth book - the sixth, I suppose, if you count Poems of a Drug Delinquent Dreamer - another sequel to this one, I think, this time a horror novel. In the first sequel, Earth is visited by aliens from a planet even less spritually advanced than our own. I don't know about the books in between.
I meet his close friend and next-door neighbour, demon-possessed Bob, who Eddie has accepted as his disciple, in the absence of anyone who could better fulfil his need for a spiritual adviser. It's not that he fancies that he is qualified for the job, but he is the only Hare Krishna in town and Bob needed help. Bob says he has actually been much better, but Eddie is taking a bad Karmic reaction off of him; he's been haunted lately, seeing strange bugs and gurning little creatures manifesting themselves, hearing voices. He hasn't been sleeping right.
He shows Bob his his new keyring proudly. He got it at the grave of Billy the Kid, and it says so in small print next to a picture of the outlaw, with Eddie written in big letters above it. He says to Bob -
'You know who my inspiration is? Well, one of them is Prabhupada. But another is this fucker here - Billy The Kid.'
I also meet his father, a big man if short, a hard man, head of his clan. Eddie introduces me as his good friend from London, not as his foster brother, because he has heard a little of what his foster families have done to him over the years and Eddie worries that like his mother, he might never quite get that ours was one of the families that didn't.
We go to his house, where we sit down in his front room - a shrine to Elvis - and don't really watch an old black and white film about love. Eddie tells his father furiously about what had happened on the way there: We had called in on an acquaintance of theirs who had been going on for days about buying his ring, a gold Gypsy ring with a horseshoe and a horse head inside it. The guy was sitting in the front room with family, facing the corner and reading a paper, when we came in and Eddie asked him if he was going to save his arse - this being bill-paying time - and buy his ring. He barely looked up from his paper to dismiss him with 'I'll think about it'; Eddie took this as an insult, and told him so as he stormed out. When Eddie is done recounting this incident to his father, the man says to let it lie; he's not worth it. Reluctantly, Eddie agrees to leave him unpunctured.
Around this time, a phone call comes in with the news we had been half-expecting for the last few days: Eddie's long-estranged mother - the alcoholic some-time bag-lady from whose haphazard care Eddie was plucked at an early age, and who bitterly resented all of his foster-families because of it - has succumbed to the critical illness which had laid her low since just after I arrived. We know that he will cry for her later, but the relief with which he greets the news at the time is excruciatingly genuine.
I think it is the saddest thing I have ever witnessed.
Despite the impending exams and my general aversion to daylogging, the christmas season offered up more than its fair share of drama this year and I felt it worth recording now that I'm back online and in decent health. I doubt any more revision would sink in this evening, my dreams will be full of metric spaces as it is...that's my excuse, anyway!
Britnoders may recall me enquiring a while back about the MMR vaccination and its possible drawbacks. Despite having received MMR as a child of 5 (before this became official NHS policy or the autism scares started getting tabloid attention), I was pondering a booster since mumps was running rampant through Bath University. The general concensus was that the vaccination would probably be unpleasant but adult mumps far more so. However, not fancying the loss of a couple of days to an adverse reaction and being, according to my mother, completely safe by virtue of the childhood jab, I didn't bother.
Lesson 1: The Britnoders are a better source of parent-like advice than your parents.
Or in other words, I got mumps. They're right, it really isn't a pleasant illness. The Doctor helpfully pointed out that with hindsight, I should have had a booster, as it transpires that childhood immunisation doesn't always render you immune later on. Your immunity may wear out by, say, the time you head off to University, one of the most likely places for getting caught up in an outbreak (I was something like the 50th case here since the academic year started in October). Hindsight is fairly useless for me but I'd suggest that others don't repeat my mistake and take any vaccines offered should they be in a similar situation. They weren't even charging...
The most pressing concern was that I'd have to cancel my holiday, since I got the diagnosis two days before I was set to fly out to Norway. Not wanting to miss my first holiday in 3 years, I was relieved to discover that I was most likely past the infectious stage and so any suffering would be restricted to myself. A quick call to Ryanair indicated that they'll fly pretty much anyone anyway, so I was all set.
So it was that myself and the mysterious non-noder Pete (from the Birmingham meet) found ourselves in the wonderful Oslo for a few days. Whilst there we met up with toalight and tingo one evening, and I'd like to thank them again for taking time out to offer us some company and a slice of Norwegian culture that we would otherwise never experienced, plus footing the bill for dinner too! Proof where none was needed that E2 really is a community. I won't go on at length about the holiday; but the traditional mumps remedy of a hot scarf seems misguided based on my experience. The sub-zero temperatures kept the pain at bay and sight-seeing provided a suitable distraction from it; I mostly did without the aspirin and just had a few restless and feverish nights as my body tried to process it.
By the time I got back I even thought it'd gone away and I'd escaped with a mild 10 day case. However, returning to Britain proved to be my undoing, as it flared up with a vengeance, with perfect timing, on Christmas eve.
Lesson 2: The christmas experience is somewhat diminished when it hurts to talk or eat.
When, a long time ago, I studied Jitsu, we did some work on the most painful parts of the body. There are entire katas devoted to the art of inflicting misery. One of the points on the head involved lifting someone by pressing your fingers on the parotid, roughly where the jawbone folds 90 degrees, near the neck. It never seemed all that painful in class, so I guess no-one was doing it right- as the golf-ball like swelling I got at christmas was pressing straight on it for three days and the only reason you don't scream is because doing so would involve opening your mouth. Which hurts even more. Instead you spend a lot of time pacing around and snapping at your loved ones- I believe my first words on christmas morning to an otherwise cheery family were the less than festive "Sod off, I'm not being cheerful until I've had a lot of drugs". I rarely take any kind of medication, but I'd lucked out on a soluble aspirin I could actually handle so was dosed pretty much around the clock from christmas eve to Boxing Day.
The morning of Boxing day was somewhat marred by family disputes which are just as much a hallmark of christmas as an excess of chocolate. I don't fancy sharing the details but it's disappointingly outlived the holiday break as people still aren't talking three weeks later. You'd think the events of that evening would make people see sense, but no.
Lesson 3: When in shock, I revert to my underlying programming- mathematical logic- and try to reason my way out.
Probably because of the painkillers I was asleep in the back of the car as we drove back to my parents' in Suffolk. So I wouldn't remember the impact anyway. More disturbingly, I have almost no recollection of the following half hour, even though I was apparently conscious and capable of holding a conversation or walking around. Unfortunately, it was a case of the lights being on with nobody home- on closer inspection I was talking but not making a whole lot of sense.
It later dawned on me that I'd been in a car crash, the details of which were basically as follows. A (presumably broken down) car had parked as sensibly as possible on the hard shoulder, with no more than a front wheel on the carriageway. Sadly, whoever had presumably come to meet the occupants of that car decided to simply park in the left lane next to them. They then switched off their lights, and didn't put on any hazards. This is an unlit stretch of national-speedlimit dual carriageway, so this wasn't perhaps the smartest move. Traffic in the left lane, finding itself blocked with little time to react, was swerving into the right-hand lane (the faster one, here in England) along which we were driving. Seeing all this, my dad slowed down to allow vehicles in and avoid a collision, and all the blocked cars between the obstruction and us safely made it in.
Sadly, the driver behind us wasn't allowing enough distance or failed to brake soon enough, and plowed into the back of us, writing off both vehicles. Had we been at a dead stop, or had I not being wearing a seatbelt, someone else might be writing this node. As it was, the others got a bit of whiplash which I, relaxed and asleep, managed to avoid as my head jolted off the bit of bodywork it had been resting on. Problem was, being asleep I didn't stop myself rebounding back into said bit of bodywork. It didn't split the skin, but even through the sleepy painkiller haze the back of my head hurt a lot more than I can ever remember it doing. Except for maybe one other time in jitsu where I lost a few seconds.
The others realised that it had obviously done some damage, as this time I immediately started complaining that I'd missed christmas. In fact, I kept repeating that and hopeless trains of logic over and over in a robotic monotone. It seems that although not concussed, I went into shock and couldn't process what had happened. Everytime I got close to figuring out it was a car accident, I'd look all confused, glance again at my watch, and ask again how we'd got to the 26th already.
As far as I was concerned, I should be in Bath studying maths like I always do, not on the roadside in Suffolk in December. Some probing revealed I couldn't recall any specific events this side of October- not just christmas, but mumps, my holiday, my 21st....this, understandably, distressed me even more.
My continuous memory restarts some half hour after the crash with the paramedics asking me if I could walk to the ambulance with them. I guess the flashing lights, neon jackets and so-on helped provide some context as I was able to get to grips with things from then on, although I was still hyperventilating, shaking like a leaf and sporting a pulse rate in the 120's. I was somewhat more confused to realise I was on the wrong side of the car, i.e. not sitting where I'd been when the accident happened, which suggested I'd got out and moved around. I do vaguely recall spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the grass verge, so I guess that's exactly what I did. I also recall someone from the other car standing outside and asking if I was alright (this whilst still on the 'correct' side of the car). Apparently I cheerfully answered yes!
After an hour or so at the hospital I'd managed to control the physical panic and restore my memory, less that hour surrounding the crash, so they let me go home. For all the bad press they get, I'd have to say the emergency services were wonderful. The paramedics and hospital staff were very reassuring, and the police officers who had arrived at the scene first actually dropped by the hospital to see how I was. I of course, had no idea who they were, even though I'd apparently already spent ten minutes talking to them at the scene, but it was a nice gesture. Plus for a while, I could completely ignore the mumps...
Osmosis says re January 8, 2005: Holy shit. And here was I thinking I'd had a bad Christmas. Hope you feel better soon. toalight says re January 8, 2005: Crikes! What a flurry of EVENTS. You sound in relatively good spirits though, so I take it the physical injury was negligible. Compared to the mumps at least... bipolarbear says re January 8, 2005: my housemate had mumps (we're in bristol). you have my sympathies. mumps sucks badly. :) BaronWR says Bad luck with the mumps/ car accident, we've had mumps at cambridge too, although I've essentially ignored them (I only actually got vaccinated when I got home). E2 is turning into a soap opera though, I don't check up for a few days and you get ill and in a car crash and wertperch gets married. I give it a week before dman reappears and anounces he's bones' long-lost half-brother tingo says I read that You've been in an accident. I hope everybody got out of that with no permanent injuries. Get well soon! The Debutante says re January 8, 2005: Very, very dramatic. I do hope that you are ok... purple_curtain says What a bloody awful Christmas...
Thanks everyone! Got back up to speed after a week or so, now it's just exams to worry about!
Dear Mr. Martin and Ms. Porter,
I purchased your DVD and Video Guide 2005 recently, and have overall been quite pleased with its coverage and the quality of the reviews.
However, I'd like to suggest that you reconsider your entry for Fight Club; perhaps you should assign it to the contributing writer who did your entry for A Clockwork Orange (rated 4 stars in your guide), or at least to a writer who has some affinity for and understanding of horror movies?
In your guide, Fight Club is listed as a no-star "turkey," and your guide's text reads:
This appalling, grotesque, and interminable endurance test is fairy-tale fiction for serial killers, imbeciles who succumb to road rage, and frustrated white guys: all the morons who seek excuses to justify their increasingly bad behavior and hair-trigger tempers.
Wow. Fight Club is certainly not everyone's cup of tea; many people couldn't see past the film's smokescreen of violence. Fight Club is a movie about fighting in the same way that American Beauty (rated 4.5 stars) is a movie about cheerleading.
True, there are some people who missed the point entirely and came away thinking it would be cool to gather in grimy basements and bash each other's brains out, but then there are people who watched Deliverance (5 stars, your top rating) and came away gleefully yelling "Squeal like a pig!" at each other. Neither gross misinterpretation is the fault of the filmmakers.
I am neither a serial killer nor a white guy. I personally thought Fight Club was quite a well-done movie, as do many other film buffs under the age of 40, such as reviewer James Berardinelli.
It looks to me that Fight Club punched some buttons in your reviewer, and as a consequence he or she turned in a subjective, ill-considered, knee-jerk review that does little to guide moviegoers. Why else would he or she feel the need to spend most of the review insulting people who find merit in the film?
It's fine if you decide Fight Club truly has less technical, writing, directorial, and acting merit than B movies such as The Horror Show (2.5 stars) and Octopus (2 stars).
But seriously, do you think it's a good idea to call your readers "imbeciles" and "morons"? Particularly if you genuinely think some of them might be serial killers?
Best wishes, Lucy-S
Surprisingly, I got a response from contributing editor Derrick Bang, who writes: "Sorry, but no sale; we stand by our comments ... and, quite frankly, we do believe they quite adequately describe our opinion of the film."
No sale, indeed! I am unlikely to purchase further editions of the book and I expect others might feel the same way.

Could you take a peak and comment?
This week has Noodile banned, so Roots decks won't be showing up as much. Ghiest has Rolph almost banned, at 5%, but then again he would just be replaced with Wardom. I guess you can use this deck to pull yourself up to 1200 or so, then switch off to a deck more stable to SoA. Then again, my highest Elo is 1321, so I'm not sure if I should be giving you advice
@ CockCock - Yeah, pretty much. The Cats & Vortex are kinda meh without their abilities.
@RedPopsicle - Better advice than most people, most people just say "X card to Y card" and rarely ever got beyond that. But, unfortunately, you're just preaching to the choir. I already know what this deck is capable of. But it's the thought that counts, so thanks anyways.

Rhinos grab could-be rising star, Jagdeosingh
I've heard this type of excitement in Bob Lilley's voice before and I heard it again today as the Rhinos coach spoke of the addition of forward Kendall Jagdeosingh, a 24-year-old forward who helped Puerto Rico win last year's league title. Rochester signed the speedy and lanky native of Trinidad & Tobago to a one-year contract with an option for 2012. He has played eight times for T&T, making his first appearance as a 20-year-old. You might recall the 5-foot-11 Jagdeosingh because his pace has given the Rhinos fits since he joined Puerto Rico in 2008. He gave Rhinos defenders, particularly Brent Sancho, fits in the 2008 and '09 playoffs. He also drew a red card on Sancho for a rough, midfield tackle in 2009 during a regular-season match in Rochester.
"His pace, his energy and his physical presence are at the top of the scale," Lilley said. "He brings a hunger and he works hard. He can occupy multiple players. If teams try to match up with him one v. one, he'll always have an advantage. He's going to make both center backs try to keep him quiet. Teams have to deal with his speed and mobility."
Minutes for Isaac Kissi, Anthony Hamilton and Andrew Hoxie just got a whole lot tougher to come by. I have a feeling Jagdeosingh – pronounced jag-DEE-oh-sing — is one Rhinos fans are going to become quite familiar with this summer.
"We have four legitimate frontrunners and I couldn't tell you that at the beginning of last season," Lilley said. "With Hammy, Hoxie and Kissi I feel like they're going to be more complete players this year and we'll have better players overall on this year's team. (Jagdeosingh) has already had success in our league but I really see him being one of the better forwards in it. He's emerging. We're hoping we can help him build his career. There's no doubt he'll create chances for himself and others."

Meet the cast of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and ask them your questions at the Actors Forum, following the Thursday matinee performance.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner ("The Cosby Show") makes his Huntington debut in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner directed by Huntington favorite David Esbjornson (All My Sons). Joanna surprises her liberal, white parents when she brings home John, her African-American fiancé, to meet them. Both sets of parents must confront their own unexpected reactions and concerns for their children as their beliefs are put to the test. Set in the 1960s, this funny and poignant new stage adaptation offers a fresh interpretation of the beloved Academy Award-winning film and also features Julia Duffy ("Newhart"), Tony Award winner Adriane Lenox, and Boston favorite Will Lyman.
Approximate run time: 2 hours and 15 minutes including one intermission.
"David Esbjornson brings a striking contemporary perspective to classics that allow us to experience them in new and unexpected ways. After his astonishing production of All My Sons, I can't wait for him to reveal the emotional and social immediacy of the ideas raised by this landmark film." — Peter DuBois
"Guess Who's Coming To Dinner is a cultural touchstone. Approaching it today, I wanted to talk about and engage in the attitudes of 1967 with a 21st century approach."— Todd Kreidler
"I am delighted to return to the Huntington to present Todd Kreidler's exciting new stage adaptation of what has become a classic American story. We hope that audiences will find the experience of this piece to be compelling, provocative, and perhaps all-too-relevant."— David Esbjornson

Reinforcements are on the way for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Defenseman Joni Pitkanen is expected to be back in the lineup this weekend, and forward Tuomo Ruutu is expected back by the end of the month. That's a top-pairing defenseman and a top-6 forward both returning to the action – de facto trade deadline acquisitions without the need of actual trades.
The NHL's trade deadline is April 3, and the Canes – like most playoff contenders – will likely survey the landscape for options to improve their team for the postseason run. But in getting two veteran, playoff-tested performers like Ruutu and Pitkanen back on the ice, the Canes' roster will already be bolstered.
Pitkanen's presence should improve the Canes' struggling power play and strengthen the Canes' defensive pairings as well. Ruutu, once he's back up to speed, could be slotted on the 2nd line alongside Jordan Staal and Jeff Skinner or on a beefed-up third line with Jussi Jokinen and Riley Nash. Any way you cut it, the Canes will be deeper and more talented with the two injured Finns back on the ice.
And there's another possibility – the return of Ruutu and Pitkanen might free the Canes up to make a deal for a missing piece of the equation – perhaps a stay-at-home defenseman – at the deadline.
Either way, the Canes have options, and they're more likely to be buyers rather than sellers at the deadline for the first time in several years.
Injuries have plagued this team – Cam Ward is still out, Jeff Skinner missed a batch of games, and at one point half of the regular defense corps was unavailable – but the lineup is mending now, and at just the right time.

Quality Paper at Affordable Price
By Gaga
from Branson, MO
Comments about Canson Montval Watercolor Paper Rolls:
I needed a larger piece of watercolor paper than what is available in the pads of paper. This large roll allowed me to cut the size I needed, with lots left over for more paintings. Cutting is made easier by placing something heavy on the paper as you unroll it, as it is very tightly wound and tends to roll right back. Wetting paper thoroughly and stapling to a board is a must to get the paper to lay flat and stay flat. I'm very happy with this purchase, and it was delivered quickly. Glenda

Heavy weight paper - great for acrylics, durable!
By Painter Avery
from LOs Angeles, CA
I use this product to make large scale acrylic paintings (48"x48"). This paper is durableenough to hold lots of mediums and stays flat even with heavy water use. I find that the paper has an intense curl (due to packaging) but if I lay it out for 12 hrs with weights it flattens out really well, almost eliminating that somewhat unruly curl, making it much easier to handle.
Excellent paper! Delivered quickly in great shape

Canson Montval Watercolor Paper Roll
By Eliot
from Bethesda, MD
I have glued it to a board and haven't painted on it yet, I will paint on it soon. It looks to be a fine product. My only problem with this product so far is that it comes rolled up tightly in a cardboard square "tube". So when you go to store what you haven't used back in there, it really doesn't fit. It expands too much, and won't fit back in wihout deforming.

South Australia
Heartland Wines
Limestone Coast / Langhorne Creek
Winemaker Ben Glaetzer has teamed up with two of Australia's leading wine professionals - Grant Tilbrook and Vicki Arnold to create individual wines with strong varietal and regional characteristics under the Heartland label. All wines are from Heartland's own vineyards in Langhorne Creek and Limestone Coast, South Australia.
Langhorne Creek (40 miles east of Adelaide), is one of Australia's oldest viticultural regions, the first plantings being in 1850. It is known for producing reds with rich, opulent mouthfeel and fine tannins. The Limestone Coast (160 miles south east of Adelaide) has the same terra rossa soil of its famous, slightly cooler neighbour, Coonawarra.
The long, cool growing season contributes great finesse and elegance, and grapes are harvested at night to retain natural acidity and freshness. All wines are made at the Heartland winery in the Barossa Valley, giving Ben Glaetzer complete quality control from grape to glass. This is a selection of distinctive wines at great prices.

The longer you played it, the more it became apparent that the AI wasn't quite as sharp as it should have been. This enormous patch should help. It's simply too vast to drop in its entirety here, so simply know that almost every single part of the game's artificial intelligence has been modified, from how it deals with other nations to how it explores to — most importantly — how it fights you. Advertisement Advertisement Joining the AI tweaks are a number of additions to the game, including new national wonders and, my favourite of the lot, a "New "Angry Genghis" loading screen (replaces the "fluffy-bunny Genghis" loading screen)".Only some serious time with the game will tell if these make massive improvements to it, so off you go, get testing!

It appears that Marvel's all-encompassing movie universe centered around The Avengers is about to expand to the realm of the small screen. Not only that, but it seems that it will involve the film's director, Joss Whedon.
According to Deadline, ABC has greenlit a pilot for a live-action TV series centered on Nick Fury's secret government defense agency, S.H.I.E.L.D. (Which is a lot easier than saying, "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.")
The pilot, which is set to start production immediately, will be co-written by Joss Whedon along with brother, Jed Whedon (Dollhouse, Spartacus: Vengeance), and Maurissa Tancharoen (Dollhouse. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.)
How will the Marvel's grand movieverse transition to television?
While it is currently unknown as to whether Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury or even Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill would be featured in some capacity, what does seem clear, is that the show will allow us to dig further into the live-action Marvel Universe which essentially began with 2008's Iron Man.
However, comments by Joss Whedon to Variety seem to imply that, despite its existence in the same universe, that it will (at least, mostly,) operate outside the scope of events chronicled in the films. According to Whedon:
"(T)he storyline for the proposed series will be largely "autonomous" from the "Avengers" sequel feature that is also in the works. The series will revolve around the activities of the top-secret S.H.I.E.L.D espionage org featured in "Avengers."
Such autonomy is understandable since the films are full of A-list stars whose regular involvement on the show would not be feasible. However. the show does have the potential to enhance the overall franchise and occasional guest-starring roles from the film stars would have to be possible.
It is does appear that this show could represent Marvel turning into a direction similar to the Star Trek franchise in its ability to transcend all mediums.

Isolating Failed Parts |
The most important use of diagnostic tools is to isolate a failed hardware component so that you can quickly remove and replace it. Because servers are complex machines with many failure modes, no single diagnostic tool can isolate all hardware faults under all conditions. However, Sun provides a variety of tools that can help you discern what component needs replacing.
This chapter guides you in choosing the best tools and describes how to use these tools to reveal a failed part in your Netra 440 server. It also explains how to use the Locator LED to isolate a failed system in a large equipment room.
Topics covered in this chapter include:
If you want background information about the tools, turn to the section Isolating Faults in the System.
Switches and OpenBoot configuration variables stored in the system configuration card determine how and when power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests are performed. This section explains how to access and modify OpenBoot configuration variables. For a list of important OpenBoot configuration variables, see TABLE 2-1.
To View and Set OpenBoot Configuration Variables |
1. Suspend the server's operating system software to reach the ok prompt.
2. Enter the following commands:
The following example shows a short excerpt of this command's output.
Note - The test-args variable operates differently from other OpenBoot configuration variables. It requires a single argument consisting of a comma-separated list of keywords. For details, see Controlling OpenBoot Diagnostics Tests. |
Changes to OpenBoot configuration variables usually take effect on the next reboot.
The Locator LED helps you to quickly find a specific system among numerous systems in a room. For background information about system LEDs, see the Netra 440 Server System Administration Guide (817-3884-xx).
You can turn the Locator LED on and off either from the system console, or by using the Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) command-line interface.
To Operate the Locator LED |
1. Access either the system console or the system controller.
For instructions, refer to the Netra 440 Server System Administration Guide.
2. Determine the current state of the Locator LED.
Firmware-based diagnostic tests can be bypassed to expedite the server's startup process. The following procedure ensures that POST and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests do run during startup. For background information, see Diagnostics: Reliability versus Availability.
To Put the System In Diagnostics Mode |
1. Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt.
2. Do one of the following, whichever is more convenient:
You can do this at the machine's front panel or, if you are running your test session remotely from console display, through the ALOM interface.
3. Set the OpenBoot configuration diag-script variable to normal. Type:
This allows OpenBoot Diagnostics tests to run automatically on all motherboard components.
Note - If you prefer that OpenBoot Diagnostics examine all IEEE 1275-compatible devices (not just those on the motherboard), set the diag-script variable to all. |
4. Set OpenBoot configuration variables to trigger diagnostic tests. Type:
ok setenv post-trigger power-on-reset error-reset ok setenv obdiag-trigger power-on-reset error-reset |
5. Set the maximum POST diagnostic test level. Type:
This ensures the most thorough power-on self-test possible. The maximum testing level requires considerably longer to complete than the minimum. Depending on system configuration, you may need to wait an additional 10 to 20 minutes for the server to boot.
POST and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests can be bypassed to expedite the server's startup process. For background information, see Diagnostics: Reliability versus Availability.
Caution - Bypassing diagnostic tests sacrifices system reliability by allowing a system to attempt to boot when it may have a serious hardware problem. |
To Bypass Firmware Diagnostics |
1. Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt.
2. Ensure that the server's system control rotary switch is set to the Normal position.
Setting the rotary switch to the Diagnostics position overrides the OpenBoot configuration variable settings and causes diagnostic tests to run.
3. Turn off the diag-switch? and diag-script variables. Type:
4. Set OpenBoot configuration trigger variables to bypass diagnostics. Type:
The Netra 440 server is now configured to minimize the time it takes to reboot. If you change your mind and want to force diagnostic tests to run, see Putting the System in Diagnostics Mode.
The ALOM system controller provides a "back-door" method of skipping diagnostic tests and booting the system. This procedure is only of assistance in those unusual circumstances where:
To Bypass Diagnostics Temporarily |
1. Log in to the ALOM system controller and access the sc> prompt.
2. Type the following command:
This command temporarily configures the system to skip its firmware-based diagnostic tests, regardless of how the OpenBoot configuration variables are set.
3. Within 10 minutes, power cycle the system. Type:
You must execute the above commands within 10 minutes of using ALOM to change the boot mode. Ten minutes after you issue the ALOM bootmode command, the system reverts back to its default boot mode as governed by the current settings of OpenBoot configuration variables, including diag-switch, post-trigger, and obdiag-trigger.
For more information about OpenBoot configuration variables and how they affect diagnostics, see Controlling POST Diagnostics.
If you suspect an incompatible or corrupted firmware image caused the problems you observed with firmware diagnostics, you should now restore the system firmware to a reliable state.
For more information about restoring the system firmware, contact your authorized service provider.
To maximize system reliability, it is useful to have POST and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests trigger in the event of an operating system panic or any reset, and to run automatically the most comprehensive tests possible. For background information, see Diagnostics: Reliability versus Availability.
To Maximize Diagnostic Testing |
1. Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt.
2. Do one of the following, whichever is more convenient:
You can do this at the server's front panel or, if you are running your test session remotely from console display, through the ALOM interface.
3. Set the OpenBoot configuration diag-script variable to all. Type:
This allows OpenBoot Diagnostics tests to run automatically on all motherboard components and IEEE 1275-compatible devices.
Note - If you prefer that OpenBoot Diagnostics examine only motherboard-based devices, set the diag-script variable to normal. |
4. Set OpenBoot configuration variables to trigger diagnostic tests. Type:
5. Set the maximum POST diagnostic test level. Type:
This ensures the most thorough testing possible. The maximum testing level requires considerably longer to complete than the minimum. Depending on system configuration, you may need to wait an additional 10 to 20 minutes for the server to boot.
While not a comprehensive diagnostic tool, LEDs located on the chassis and on selected system components can serve as front-line indicators of a limited set of hardware failures.
You can view LED status by direct inspection of the system's front and back panels. You can also view the status of certain LEDs from the ALOM system controller command-line interface.
Note - Most LEDs available on the front panel are also duplicated on the back panel. |
To Isolate Faults Using LEDs |
There is a group of three LEDs located near the top left corner of the front panel and duplicated on the back panel. Their status can tell you the following:
The Locator and Service Required LEDs are powered by the system's 5-volt standby power source and remain lit for any fault condition that results in a system shutdown.
Note - To view the status of system LEDs from ALOM, type showenvironment from the sc> prompt. |
2. Check the power supply LEDs.
Each power supply has a set of four LEDs located on the front panel and duplicated on the back panel. Their status can tell you the following:
Hard drive LEDs are located behind the left system door. Just to the right of each hard drive is a set of three LEDs. Their status can tell you the following:
The DVD-ROM drive features a Power/Activity LED that tells you the following:
If this LED is off, and you know the system is receiving power, check the DVD-ROM drive and its cables. |
5. Check the Ethernet port LEDs.
Two Ethernet port LEDs are located on the system back panel.
6. If LEDs do not disclose the source of a suspected problem, try putting the affected server in Diagnostics mode.
See Putting the System in Diagnostics Mode.
You can also run power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics. See Isolating Faults Using POST Diagnostics.
This section explains how to run power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics to isolate faults in a Netra 440 server. For background information about POST diagnostics and the boot process, see Chapter 2.
To Isolate Faults Using POST Diagnostics |
1. Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt.
This procedure assumes that the system is in diagnostics mode. See:
The procedure also assumes that the system console is in its default configuration, so that you are able to switch between the system controller and the system console. Refer to the Netra 440 Server System Administration Guide.
2. (Optional) Set the OpenBoot configuration variable diag-level to max. Type:
This provides the most extensive diagnostic testing.
Then, from the sc> prompt, type:
The system runs the POST diagnostics and displays status and error messages through the local serial terminal.
Note - You will not see any POST output if you remain at the sc> prompt. You must return to the ok prompt by typing the console command as shown above. |
Each POST error message includes a "best guess" as to which field-replaceable unit (FRU) was the source of failure. In some cases, there may be more than one possible source, and these are listed in order of decreasing likelihood.
Note - Should the POST output contain code names and acronyms with which you are unfamiliar, see TABLE 2-13 in Terms in Diagnostic Output Terms. |
5. Try replacing the FRU or FRUs indicated by POST error messages, if any.
For replacement instructions, refer to the Netra 440 Server Service Manual.
6. If the POST diagnostics did not turn up any problems, but your system does not start up, try running the interactive OpenBoot Diagnostics tests.
Because OpenBoot Diagnostics tests require access to some of the same hardware resources used by the operating system, the tests cannot be run reliably after an operating system halt or L1-A (Stop-A) key sequence. You need to reset the system before running OpenBoot Diagnostics tests, and then reset the system again after testing. Instructions for doing this follow.
To Isolate Faults Using Interactive OpenBoot Diagnostics Tests |
1. Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt.
2. Set the auto-boot? OpenBoot configuration variable to false. Type:
3. Reset or power cycle the system.
4. Invoke the OpenBoot Diagnostics tests. Type:
The obdiag> prompt and test menu appear. The menu is shown in FIGURE 2-3.
5. (Optional) Set the desired test level.
You may want to perform the most extensive testing possible by setting the diag-level OpenBoot configuration variable to max:
Note - If diag-level is set to off, OpenBoot firmware returns a passed status for all core tests, but performs no testing. |
You can set any OpenBoot configuration variable (see TABLE 2-1) from the obdiag> prompt in the same way.
6. Type the appropriate command and numbers for the tests you want to run.
For example, to run all available OpenBoot Diagnostics tests, type:
To run a particular test, type:
Where # represents the number of the desired test.
For a list of OpenBoot Diagnostics test commands, see Interactive OpenBoot Diagnostics Commands. The menu of numbered tests is shown in FIGURE 2-3.
7. When you are done running OpenBoot Diagnostics tests, exit the test menu. Type:
8. Set the auto-boot? OpenBoot configuration variable back to true. Type:
This allows the operating system to resume starting up automatically after future system resets or power cycles.
9. To reboot the system, type:
The system stores the OpenBoot configuration variable settings and boots automatically when the auto-boot? variable is set to true.
Try replacing the FRU or FRUs indicated by OpenBoot Diagnostics error messages, if any. For FRU replacement instructions, refer to the Netra 440 Server Service Manual.
Summaries of the results from the most recent power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests are saved across power cycles.
To View Diagnostic Test Results |
1. Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt.
2. View the desired category of test results.
You should see a system-dependent list of hardware components, along with an indication of which components passed and which failed POST or OpenBoot Diagnostics tests.
This section helps you choose the right tool to isolate a failed part in a Netra 440 server. Consider the following questions when selecting a tool.
Certain system components have built-in LEDs that can alert you when that component requires replacement. For detailed instructions, see Isolating Faults Using LEDs.
3. Do you intend to run the tests remotely?
The ALOM system controller software enable you to run tests from a remote server. In addition, ALOM provides a means of redirecting system console output, allowing you to remotely view and run tests--like POST diagnostics--that usually require physical proximity to the serial port on the server's back panel.
SunVTS software, a system exercising tool, also enables you to run tests remotely using either the product's graphical interface, or tty-mode through remote login or Telnet session.
4. Will the tool test the suspected sources of the problem?
Perhaps you already have some idea of what the problem is. If so, you want to use a diagnostic tool capable of testing the suspected problem sources.
5. Is the problem intermittent or software related?
If a problem is not caused by a clearly defective hardware component, then you may want to use a system-exerciser tool rather than a fault-isolation tool. See Chapter 2 for instructions and Exercising the System for background information.

Pearce wins No. 2 spot in state GOP
PHOENIX - Ousted state Senate President Russell Pearce won election Saturday to a top Arizona GOP post, giving the architect of the state's tough immigration laws a new political role less than three months after he lost his seat in a recall election.
State Republicans elected Pearce the party's 1st vice chairman at a meeting in Phoenix, party spokesman Shane Wikfors said. The vote puts Pearce in the state party's No. 2 leadership role behind chairman Tom Morrissey. He won with about 60 percent of the vote.
Pearce was the first legislator in state history to be recalled when voters ousted him in November. His defeat was seen by some as a clear repudiation of the tough-on-immigration agenda that he championed by writing the 2010 immigration law that put Arizona in the national spotlight.
That didn't seem to matter to party leaders on Saturday.

Track List
Album Notes
Full title: Gwine Dig A Hole To Put The Devil In: Library Of Congress Vol. 2.
Library of Congress recordings from the late '30s.
Compilation producers: Kip Lornell, Charles K. Wolfe.
Includes liner notes by Kip Lornell.
Personnel: Lead Belly (vocals, guitar).
Between 1934 and 1942, Leadbelly made numerous trips to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. to record his music. This is the second of six volumes collecting the powerful music recorded in those sessions, simply and directly. Leadbelly possessed a powerful voice and the creative fervor to fashion his observations and heartfelt passions into riveting songs. The shadow he cast over the rest of the 20th century is enormous--whether conscious of his influence or not, nearly all folk and blues singers can trace their musical lineage back to him. Additionally, he wrote songs that have become part of our cultural heritage, like "C.C. Rider" and "The Bourgeois Blues," both of which are included here. Some of the lesser-known compositions featured here prove to be incredible demonstrations of his talents, like the acappella-tinged "Old Rattler."
