School board approves Perry Hill project
The Board of Ed unanimously voted to accept the estimated $150,000 Perry Hill School reconstruction project as completed during their regular meeting on Feb. 24.
According to Chairman of the Board of Education Mark Holden, the changes to the building won't have a "huge impact" on the school or students. The changes are a part of everything in the school working and looking how they should.
Mayor Mark Lauretti and Superintendent Chris Clouet worked closely to devise a final plan to complete the work with the City and Board of Education facilities teams finishing most of the work.
Dr. Clouet said they were focused on quality and value in the process of agreeing on a cost-effective plan.
"I am very pleased at our ability to work together to get things done for the good of the students and community. I look forward to working on many future projects with our Board of Education and City officials," said Dr. Clouet. "A spirit of pragmatism and collaboration has resulted in the Board of Education and the City moving forward on the Perry Hill School building project."
The Board voted to accept the building as completed and have already begun filing the necessary documentation with the state in order to have millions of dollars in reimbursements transferred to the city, according to Dr. Clouet.
He added that working with Mayor Lauretti, they were able to produce a final list that satisfied both City Officials and Education Officials.
There are still a multiple items remaining to be finished on the school, according to Holden.
"The city will cover 'most' of the remaining items that need to be fixed and we're going to have our staff do some of the more simple things," said Holden.
An estimate of $150,000 is required to complete the project, according to Holden. The Board of Ed. has agreed to put up $30,000 for the repairs and the city will fill the $120,000 gap to fund the project.
"Some of the items we're still looking for more cost effective ways to do them. From our standpoint, if the city can find a more cost effective way to replace the cameras on the outside of the school then it's fine with us. All we care about is that everything that has to get done, gets done."
Along with the outdoor surveillance cameras that have to be replaced, the school also requires repairs to its gym floor, minor cracks in cement walkways and attention to a classroom with ventilation issues.
The project is on schedule and will continue to move forward this summer.
"All work is expected to be finished prior to start of the next school year," said Clouet.

My Dear People: Unitarian Hobbits
Remarks made at the First Unitarian Church of Saint Louis, April 23, 2016
My Dear People, long ago according to Mr. Tolkien, Bilbo Baggins gave a speech at his one-hundred-and-eleventh birthday party. I have borrowed some of Bilbo's words, and added some of my own, to properly to honor this marvelous event, our Fellowship of the Church Dinner.
My dear Dusenberys and Fathmans, and Koebbes, O'Briens and O'Malleys, and my dear Myers and Kindlebergers, and so many more. Too many to name and count, including individuals such as Bovento and Hoeklman, going on to those at the end of the alphabet, such as the Wires, and the inestimable Weck. WELCOME! Also, my greetings go to all those who have worked to make this party possible including Ms. Clemons and Ms. Underwood, and our custodian, Mr. Smith.
Today, this church is more than a hundred and eleven years old! In fact, it is only a couple of months past its hundred and eighty-first birthday! Since we did not celebrate our birthday at the end of January, let's do that now. Cheers!
I hope you are all enjoying yourselves as much as I am. I shall not keep you long. We have feasting to do, but we are gathered together for a purpose. Indeed, I have three Purposes for this speech.
First of all, I speak to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all and that five years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable Unitarians and to say that I am sorry to be leaving you in a few months.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Secondly, we are here to celebrate birthdays of another sort, the anniversaries of all who joined this church 15 years, 25 years, 50 and 55 years ago. I am not going to add up all those years, all the Sundays celebrated, all the Fellowship Dinners attended, all the money that you gave or any of that, but it is not a trifling amount. It is a form of inheritance given to us for which we should be grateful.
It is also, if I may be allowed to refer to ancient history, the sixth anniversary of my arrival by barrel here at our annual Fellowship Dinner; this was the first time we were, properly, introduced. I was only fifty then, but I had the honor of being seated at a front table with the eldest of our elders, including Marietta Hunsche, who on that day was not even a hundred and who, tomorrow we will memorialize in words and song. The banquet that night was very splendid; I was as grateful to be here then as now. I repeat what I said then, 'Thank you very much for coming to this little party and for including me.' I now expand on what I said then: thank you for including me in all that we have done together for the past five years.
Thirdly and finally, I wish to say that this party is not my party, even though I briefly wondered if the Tolkien inspired theme was chosen just to please me. In fact, this dinner is not about me at all. This party is about you, the fellowship of this church. The minister of a church makes visible the good of the church, but he or she is not its goodness. I represent the center, but I am not the center. I clarify our purposes, but I do not determine our purposes. I choose a course across the wilderness, I can name the dangers and the joys we should face in our journey together, but I cannot choose what you do or how you do it. You are the fellowship of the church. Even when I give a great speech, without you to create the occasion, to support my work, to open your minds and hearts, I am just talking to myself. And when I am gone, when someone else holds this office, you are the church. With you and only through you does the church live and love and remember and hope. Together, as a fellowship, you must seek the truth, seek love, seek justice, and seek honesty, integrity, and inspiration, because the finding is in the seeking.
But tonight we cease from seeking. Together, we rest from our eternal journey to find the spiritual ring of Love, Justice, Dignity and Tolerance. We take the time to look around and to see in each other, the fellowship of the church, to appreciate how far we have come on our journey, and to see clearly the spirit that moves us all to do the hard work of committees, and boards, feasts, and festivals. Tonight you are all to be honored, for you are the mighty Fellowship of the church.

Sobriety Success
The proportion of schizophrenia patients suffering from a comorbid drug or alcohol use disorder varies tremendously in published studies, from as low as 10% to as high as 70% (Mueser et al. 1990). The observed range is partially due to variability in the diagnostic criteria employed for schizophrenia, sample demographic characteristics (e.g., male vs. female, urban vs. rural), the types of patient populations studied (e.g., inpatient vs. outpatient), and different criteria for defining drug and alcohol disorders (e.g., DSM-III-R diagnosis, positive urine toxicology screens, rating scales) (Mueser et al. 1990). Although structured clinical interviews have been found to produce the most reliable diagnoses, these are time consuming and expensive due to the need for trained personnel, and therefore are not often used in clinical studies (Mueser et al. 1995). Surveys conducted exclusively in inpatient settings tend to produce higher rates of substance use disorders, in part because persons with dual disorders (i.e., substance use and another major Axis I disorder) are more likely to enter into treatment because exacerbation of either problem may become a focus of clinical attention (Mueser et al. 1995).
The Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) study revealed that 47% of all individuals in the United States with a lifetime diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder met criteria for some form of substance abuse or dependence (33.7% for alcohol disorder and 27.5% for another drug abuse disorder) (Regier et al. 1990). This figure is comparable with the range of 40%-60% lifetime prevalence gleaned from an analysis of 47 published studies of schizophrenia patients with sample sizes of at least 30 in which the criteria for abuse or dependence were clearly delineated (Cantor-Graae et al. 2001). The authors of this review also found that studies in which more than one method of diagnosis was employed (e.g., chart review plus interview) yielded higher prevalence rates compared with studies that relied on a single method. Regardless of method, in community samples of patients with schizophrenia that are not composed solely of inpatient groups, a figure of approximately 50% lifetime prevalence is found repeatedly. This finding is replicated even from sources outside the United States, such as the recent study combining both structured interview and chart review of 87 patients with schizophrenia in Malmo, Swe den, which noted a lifetime prevalence of any substance use disorder of 48.3% (47.1% for alcohol alone or in combination with other drugs, 26.4% for alcohol only) (Cantor-Graae et al. 2001).
In addition to the lifetime prevalence data, the ECA study found that the odds of having a substance abuse diagnosis were 4.6 times greater for persons with schizophrenia compared with the rest of the population, with the odds of alcohol disorders more than 3 times greater and those of other drug disorders 6 times greater (Regier et al. 1990). Among all substances, nicotine is clearly the most frequently abused agent, with prevalence estimates ranging from 70% to 90%, over 3 times greater than the general population estimate of approximately 25% (Davidson et al. 2001). (See more extensive discussion in Chapter 5, "Nicotine and Tobacco Use in Schizophrenia.") Excluding nicotine use, the ECA study results are consistent with other prevalence studies of schizophrenia demonstrating that alcohol tends to be the most frequently abused agent (20%-60%), followed by cannabis (12%-42%) and cocaine (15%-50%) (Chambers et al. 2001). Use of amphetamines (2%-25%), hallucinogens, opiates, and sedative/hypnotics is less common.
The most consistent findings with regard to demographic characteristics are that those who are younger, were younger at age of schizophrenia onset, or are male are more likely than those who are older and female to abuse drugs or alcohol (Hambrecht and Hafner 2000). It is important to note, however, that evidence is accumulating to document that substance use difficulties among women are not sufficiently recognized, and that women with schizophrenia and comorbid substance disorders are less likely to receive substance abuse treatment (Alexander 1996; Comtois and Ries 1995). The undertreatment of women may lead to unrealistically low prevalence estimates in retrospective chart review studies, yet even in interview studies male gender appears as an independent risk factor after the disparities in gender frequency are controlled for among study participants (Cantor-Graae et al. 2001). There is also evidence from the Malmo, Sweden, cohort and other studies indicating that the onset of substance use in schizophrenia occurs at a younger age in males than in females (Salyers and Mueser 2001).
There are conflicting data regarding the functional capabilities of substance-using patients with schizophrenia compared with non-substance users with severe mental illness. In one of the first studies to examine this issue, Mueser et al. (1990) reported findings on 149 recently hospitalized patients who met DSM-III-R criteria for schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder, and found lower educational levels among the substance-abusing severely mentally ill compared with severely mentally ill patients without substance use disorders. Yet later studies have indicated that substance-using patients with schizophrenia might be more functional than non-substance users. Arndt and colleagues' study of 131 schizophrenia patients with and without comorbid substance use (n =64 and 67, respectively) matched for symptomatology and clinical history noted better premorbid adjustment among the so-called pathological substance users (Arndt et al. 1992). In another study, comparing 34 patients with schizophrenia who had histories of substance abuse with 17 patients with schizophrenia who were abstinent (Zisook et al. 1992), the substance abusers were more likely to have been married or gainfully employed.
The most comprehensive attempt to correlate symptomatology and social function with substance use among patients with schizophrenia was performed by Salyers and Mueser (2001), employing 404 patients with a history of recent hospitalization (i.e., prior 3 months) recruited from within a large multicenter psychosocial treatment strategies study. Individuals were ages 18-55, agreed to receive fluphenazine decanoate but not other major psychotropic agents, and received at least three of the monthly assessments of psychiatric symptoms, social functioning, side effects, and substance use over the 3- to 6-month follow-up period. It should be noted that those who were homeless or transient and patients with active ongoing physical dependence (or with suspected drug-induced psychosis but not schizophrenia) were excluded.
In this study, those who consistently reported low or no use of substances scored significantly higher than regular drug or alcohol users on assessments of negative symptoms, particularly the social amotivation and diminished expression scores, although the groups were comparable on ratings of psychotic symptoms (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale [BPRS]) and distress (Symptom Checklist-90). There were also no significant differences in ratings of tardive dyskinesia, parkinsonism, or akathisia between users and nonusers, although those who reported the greatest frequency of social problems had higher akathisia ratings irrespective of degree of substance use. As one might expect from those who manifest greater negative symptomatology, the low- or no-use group also demonstrated more severe impairment in leisure activities and less frequent social contacts. Although the substance users enjoyed a higher level of social functioning, the drug users in particular reported significantly greater interpersonal problems compared with the low-/no-use group. Interestingly, despite the greater social functional status of substance users, this group had an earlier age of onset for their mental illness and more hospitalizations than the low-/no-use group.
The biological correlate of higher functional status can be seen in work by Scheller-Gilkey and colleagues, who examined differences in magnetic resonance imaging scans for a large sample (n = 176) of schizophrenia pa tients. The investigators noted the rate of gross brain abnormalities among both alcohol and drug abusers to be less than half the rate found among patients with no history of alcohol or substance abuse, although this finding did not reach the 0.05 level of statistical significance (Scheller-Gilkey et al. 1999).
Demographic differences exist between urban and rural groups with schizophrenia, especially with regard to housing, and there are also data to suggest that patterns of substance use differ between the two settings. Alcohol use alone or in combination with cannabis is likely to be present in schizophrenia patients living in a rural setting, whereas the use of multiple substances, particularly cocaine, is common in urban settings (Mueser et al. 2001).
Perhaps one of the most important demographic trends recently recognized among the severely mentally ill is the high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], hepatitis B, and hepatitis C (Meyer in press). Whereas the former may be transmitted sexually, hepatitis C in the United States is transmitted primarily by use of shared needles among intravenous drug users. (This topic is covered in detail in Chapter 7, "HIV and Hepatitis C in Patients With Schizophrenia.") Patients with schizophrenia are more likely to engage in high-risk behavior resulting in HIV or hepatitis C infection, yet there is remarkably little in the way of data about the extent of intravenous drug abuse in this disorder. In one large study of mentally ill persons (65% of whom had schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder), 62.1% of those infected with hepatitis C (n = 145) reported a lifetime history of intravenous drug abuse (IVDA), whereas only 5.1% of the hepatitis C-negative group (n=604) reported a history of IVDA (Rosenberg et al. 2001). Among the HIV-positive persons with severe mental illness, the lifetime prevalence of IVDA was 8.6% compared with 1.4% for the HIV-negative group (Rosenberg et al. 2001). Another, smaller study of 91 schizophrenic patients employing two self-reporting measures found a 22.4% lifetime prevalence of injected drug use; moreover, despite IVDA and high-risk sexual behaviors, 65% reported no concern with HIV infection, and AIDS knowledge was significantly lower among the schizophrenic patients than the control group, particularly among those with long-standing illness and multiple psychiatric admissions (Grassi et al. 1999).

Alcoholism is something that can't be formed in easy terms. Alcoholism as a whole refers to the circumstance whereby there's an obsession in man to keep ingesting beverages with alcohol content which is injurious to health. The circumstance of alcoholism doesn't let the person addicted have any command over ingestion despite being cognizant of the damaging consequences ensuing from it.

As a reviewer, games where you discover new content and new rules while you play are frustrating. On the one hand, they are awful. How do you review a game with a Legacy or Fast Forward mechanism without giving away all the good bits? On the other hand, they are great, simply because discovering new things while you play works that fingerboard that is our brain's reward mechanism so well. Or, in plain English, they're one hell of a lot of fun. And we love to talk about fun games. So be warned, ahead you will find very mild spoilers for the first few rounds of Friedemann Friese's Flee.Read more
With last year's Fabled Fruit Friedemann Friese developed an alternative to the Legacy system for games that keep changing every time to play. It's lighter than a Legacy game, you don't have to rip up any components or glue stickers to them, and you can completely reset the game by sorting a stack of cards. Yet you still get a game that will keep you busy for quite a while before you discovered everything it has to offer. A game that keeps surprising you, at least the first time you play all the way through.
Fabled Fruit was successful enough – and Friedemann had enough fun making it – to spawn a series of games with the same system, now dubbed the Fast Forward system: Fear, Fortress and Flee. In fact, the Fast Forward games even go one step further than Fabled Fruit did: they don't give you any rules to read before you start playing. All you do is put the big stack of cards on the table and start drawing cards. When you get to a card with rules you read it out loud and put it on the table for everyone to see. The rules on that card are in effect from that moment on.Read more

Our Curriculum
The use of prepared environments and the role of the teacher in the classroom distinguish Montessori from other educational approaches. The design of the classroom (prepared environment) enables children to perform various tasks that foster the formation of social, emotional, and intellectual relationships. The prepared environment also offers practical occasions for introducing social relationships through free interaction. Every aspect of the curriculum involves creative invention and careful, thoughtful analysis. In viewing learning outcomes at each Montessori level, it must be emphasized that why and how students arrive at the learning process is just as important as what they know.
In the Montessori classroom, five distinct areas constitute the prepared environment:
Practical Life enhances the development of task organization and cognitive order through care of self, care of environment, exercises of grace and courtesy and coordination of physical movement.
The sensorial area enables the child to order, classify and describe sensory impressions in relation to length, width, temperature, mass, color, pitch, etc.
Mathematics makes use of manipulative materials to enable the child to internalize concepts of number, symbol, sequence, operations and memorization of basic facts.
Language includes oral language development, written expression, reading, the study of grammar, creative dramatics and children's literature.
Cultural activities expose the child to basics in geography, history and life sciences. Music, art and movement education are part of the integrated cultural curriculum.

5 Ways to Add Technology To Your Wedding
Whether it's setting up a wedding website or a wedding hashtag, adding technology to your wedding is a useful way to streamline everything from RSVPs to selfies shot by your guests. Here, 5 easy ways to go digital when you say "I do."
Set up a wedding website. For a nominal fee, sites like WordPress or Squarespace make it easy to create your own website with all the pertinent details about your big day (including a way to digitally RSVP!). And welcome to the modern world: Appy Couple is a new website that creates an app version of your site based off the desktop design of your wedding app so guests can instant message and virtually connect before the wedding.
Send virtual invitations. Nowadays, we have more email addresses than mailing addresses on hand. Virtual invitations—sent from sites like Paperless Post—are a smart way to organize events surrounding your big day, like the rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch. And, if you're on a budget, there are plenty of gorgeous options for going digital with your save the dates and invitations, too.
Set up a hashtag. It's the best way to keep track of all the pics and videos your guests will snap. If you're struggling to come up with what it should be, don't fret — there are wedding hashtag generators that you can use to put together the perfect combo of the bride and groom's name.
Ask about drone footage. You'd be surprised — a lot of videographers provide this service. It's a super cool way to get a bird's eye view of all your guests sipping cocktails on the front lawn of your venue before dinner or you walking down the aisle in your dress.

Month: March 2011
1. When Mercy House started in 1996, it accommodated 5 Ethiopian doctors who were totally stranded at the time, as they did not have registration with the SA medical council and it took us 2 years to persuade the SA Medical Council to set an exam for them.. They wrote it and all of them are happily working as doctors now, one even in the United States..
2. Through the support and mediation of Mercy House, we have enabled 2 young men, Angolan Martin, and Sudanese, Emmanuel, to get through the SA University Medical training: they are now qualified doctors doing extremely well. Both are now training to be specialists – Emmanuel is becoming a cardiologist and Martin is specialising in gynaecology. Burundian Shadadi, is currently studying to be a Clinical Medical Practitioner at Wits Medical school. Sudanese orphan Felix, is currently doing a 4 year degree at the University of Johannesburg in Medical Research.
3. We have assisted in getting bursaries for 8 refugees to do a Bachelor Degree in Education at KZN college in Kwazulu, 1 who is still studying, the rest qualified and working 5 back in Sudan..
4. We have managed to get bursaries for university degrees in engineering for 5 of our young men, four of whom are already qualified and working in companies. A large number of others have studied engineering at the local Technical College..
5. We have managed to put a large number of children into school: for example Shadadi (Burundi) and Dibaba and Peter (both DRC), Newton, Kenny got bursaries to study at an excellent school private school. John is head boy of his school this year, and Shadadi was a deputy head last year and is already at university.
6. We managed to get bursaries for Peter and Samuel (Sudanese) to do a 2 year course in Accounting. They have since returned to Sudan where they are using their expertise.
7. Four of our young people have done courses in home nursing which enabled them to get work and two others are currently third year nursing training..
8. Several of our young people enrolled to do a 3 year film making course. Emmanuel did it and is now employed as Post Production Assistant by a highly reputable film company Videovision Entertainment (The Biggest Film Company in Africa).
9. We have enabled a number of refugees to do Information Technology courses at the local Technical College. .
10. One of our young men has graduated with a law degree. He had come to us with only 1 small plastic bag at the time of the genocide, in 1996, we assisted him to fulfill his dream.
11. Over the 12 years of our existence, we have enabled countless people to get employment, quite an achievement when in a country where the unemployment is very high and where there is also a lot of Xenophobia.
12. We have been able to set up several individuals and families with businesses that enable them survive.
13. By far the greatest achievement of Mercy House has been the healing and transformation that we see. Young people come to us, desperate, their lives in tatters, and through creating a family atmosphere (which, mostly, they have sadly missed) and through the healing power of unconditional love, they really do become new human beings! The message is quite clear: no amount of counselling. psychotherapy etc is as powerful as the healing power of love. This is what has made Mercy House so successful and God is with us!.

Kauai - Kapaa Hongwanji Bon Dance
On the evening of Day 2 we attended a bon dance at Kapaa Hongwanji.
Here is a flying saucer. I swear . . . Kauai people are so creative. You can check out coworker Michele's version including her recipe here.
Here's a Pronto Pop.
Les also got mochi and Chinese pretzels.
The dancing began at around 7:30. We left shortly thereafter . . . because it started to rain . . . and because we were pretty pooped.
I did manage to take a couple of videos. I used my monopod. Yay!!! It came in handy after all!!

Glad you enjoyed the flying saucers. I have 40 in my freezer (bought from different bon dances) to await my son's visit, and when he goes back to Honolulu, he gets to take all of those back with him! Those young ones can eat 3-4 at a sitting!

We have the Japanese fall festival here and the second vid looks like the bon dance they do. I love going and it's super crowded but it kinda reminds me of my childhood in Okinawa. We love the food too!

Rural telecom giant Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FTR) just reported results for the third quarter of 2014. Frontier's shares stayed within 1% of Monday's closing prices, as the results stuck close to analyst projections.
The company reported adjusted third-quarter earnings of $0.05 per share on $1.14 billion in total sales. Revenue was exactly in line with Wall Street's consensus estimates, while earnings came in just a hair above the $0.04 analyst target.
This report marked the seventh consecutive quarter of significant growth in broadband customer counts, followed by sequential revenue increases in both the business-class and residential client divisions.
Moreover, Frontier recently closed the long-awaited acquisition of AT&T's (NYSE:T) wireline operations in Massachusetts. Frontier COO and president Dan McCarthy said that the acquired assets have "hit the ground running." Connecticut customers are already being introduced to Frontier's products and services, and cost savings from this buyout are expected to hit $150 million over the first year.
Not counting the massive Connecticut deal, Frontier lost 0.8% of its consumer subscriptions during the quarter while business lines fell by 1.3%. On the other hand, broadband accounts rose by 1.1%. The net result of these changes to Frontier's service mix is higher average revenues per customer. Total sales declined by 0.6% year-over-year.
Through the first three quarters of 2014, Frontier paid out 50% of its free cash flows through dividend checks. That's roughly in line with the trailing cash payout ratio in the second quarter, and one of the lowest such ratios in the specialty telecom industry.
CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL) funnels 58% of its free cash into dividend payments, and Windstream's (OTC:WINMQ) ratio hovers near 80%.None of these micro-trends should surprise Frontier's shareholders, as broadband sales have been absorbing the business value of old-fashioned voice lines ever since the rise of smartphones. Frontier's future is tied to broadband sales, and to TV services delivered over the same high-speed Internet connections.
Both CenturyLink and Windstream are set to report their own results later this week, painting a fuller picture of the wireline telecom sector's general health. So far, Frontier's report points to a fairly uneventful quarter, long on stability and short on surprises.

By Kehinde Ajose
Gospel artiste, Kenny Saint Best, who recently lost out in the All Progressive Congress (APC) House of Assembly primary elections to Folajimi Lai Mohammed has declared that she has learnt a lot in her new found romance with politics.
"The experience is that of inner strength. I got stronger because this was a new terrain, unlike entertainment that you have gotten so used to and you take everything for granted. I also got humbled. In entertainment, you have ego but in politics you dare not bring up that ego or you will be messed up" she told Potpourri
Continuing: "I learnt how to work with the grassroots; I learnt how to respect the grassroots. I learnt how to respect the ward leaders. I learnt to respect not just the ward leaders, but also the leaders at the local government levels. Politics is a terrain where what you say can either make you or mar you. In entertainment, we talk anyhow we like. In politics, you dare not be loose with what you say because it will be used against you, just like it's done in the court of law. Everybody has their time in politics. On the flipside, overtaking is also allowed."
On her current state of mind, the TV talk show host said: "My state of mind is that of a winner. It's the state of mind of a potential political leader. It's the state of mind of an overcomer because politics is challenging. I am new in politics, losing the first time cannot stop me".

I/O performance and stripe_cache_size, contd.
June 8, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
There are some anomalies in the previous graphs, notably the incongruent results for stripe cache sizes of 768 and 32768. So I ran some more tests with a smoother range of I/O blocksize.
NB : Each variable was tested three times, with all caches synced and flushed before and after. The average of those three tests were used to plot the data points on the graphs.
Caveat : I also reduced the test file size to 650MB (I know, I know, very bad practice to change multiple variables whilst testing).
September 23, 2010 at 06:29
I enjoyed looking at your graphs and am hoping to tweak my new setup. Could you please take a look at my post in the QNAP forums and offer any advice?

Threshold Festival makes a welcome return to Liverpool's Baltic Triangle, Getintothis' Peter Guy chats to director Andy Minnis on their comeback and the ever changing landscape of Merseyside music.
Threshold Festival is back. After a year off to take stock the Baltic Triangle based arts and music happening swings back into action on March 29-30.
Expanding upon last year's reduced Across the Threshold event, the 2019 edition returns to the wider original blueprint with venues including District, 24 Kitchen Street, Brick Street, Hobo Kiosk, RPM Studios.
The first headliner revealed is producer, singer-songwriter, World Loop-station Champion and record breaking beatboxer, SK Shlomo who brings his debut album to Threshold.
Also among the first wave of artists are Seafoam Green and the hugely popular Manchester electronic pioneer, Paddy Steer
Joining them on the bill are a variety of musicians including Felix Hagan & The Family, Science of the Lamps, Emilio Pinchi, The Soul Rays, SKAAR, Jollyboat, Impropriety, Little Peaches, Jazamin, Tosin Salako and the Unstoppable Sweeties Show.
The diverse line up also features Radio Exotica DJs including Rory Taylor of Positive Vibration Festival of Reggae. Manchester visual arts collective Gang of Five will bring their creative flavours to the Baltic, and graffiti artist Danny O'Connor.
Also on the bill are: Emergency Tiara, Katie Mac, The Mono LPs, Mersey Wylie, Milo Seabird, Chinchilla and more.
With all these plans afoot, Getintothis caught up with Threshold Festival director, Andy Minnis to find out more and reflect upon the ever changing landscape of Liverpool's arts and music community.
Getintothis: Hey Andy, Threshold's back – which can only be a good thing for Liverpool – what's your expectations?
Andy Minnis: Hey, thanks, it's great to be back and planning a full scale event for March. We'll be focusing on what we always aim for, a diverse celebration of emerging talent from Merseyside and across the country.
We're building on our relationships with promoters and venues we've worked with over the past few years and trying out some new partnerships too. It's going to be a bumper edition.

Getintothis: Obviously the Baltic Triangle has changed a lot since you guys started there – do you see Threshold as trailblazing the area and championing the Baltic?
AM: There has been incredible change in the area since we started, way back in 2010-11.
In the eight years we've been going, the Baltic has changed so much but we have always been champions of the area. Each year we've popped up in new and empty spaces, to show off the amazing potential that the Baltic has.
We put on an exhibition and held performances in the empty space at Northern Lights which has now transformed into Hinterlands – and championed fringe venues like the Lantern Theatre and Siren when they were emerging as alternative creative spaces.
We were the first festival to be held in the Baltic and it's been incredible to see what's happened since.
Getintothis: Which elements of the Baltic do you like that's new?
AM: The area has matured so much and there are some real concerns about the pace of change and new developments – but I like now what I've liked for years and that's the ever changing nature of the Baltic.
New DIY venues like Brick Street have opened up, along with multi-purpose spaces like Love Lane Brewery. Now a year old, it's a building we used as a pop-up venue in 2015 and has been completely transformed.
It's also great to see the conversion of historic and empty buildings into studios and offices – alongside the bars and venues. Baltic Creative has been such a pioneer in that respect and really helped secure the growth of the area.
Merseyside music's best new acts of 2019 – Getintothis' new breed of the ones to watch
Getintothis: Obviously 2018 was a reduced Threshold – what's your aims for the 2019 edition?
AM: We're returning to our larger format – and returning to our roots, putting arts at the heart of the festival, alongside music.
In our first line-up announcement, we were keen to put performance artists like Little Peaches, Impropriety and Jollyboat front and centre.
Also on there is Jazamin, a visual artist who has over the years exhibited, curated, performed and been on our planning team, often all at the same time! Her practice is a perfect example of what we're all about and what we aim for every year.
Getintothis: Are there any big changes to this year's festival?
AM: The festival changes every year with different venues, different artists and different team members – no two years are ever really the same.
That keeps us all excited on the planning team – and hopefully keeps people coming back.
The theme for 2019 is Infinity and we'll be looking backwards and looking to the future – expect retrospectives, discussions on future festivals, blurring of boundaries and our usual secret and pop-up performances.
Getintothis: I always enjoy the arts programme – what's the plan?
AM: In 2019, we'll take it to the streets, literally. We're planning to project onto buildings along Jamaica Street to break down the traditional 'white cube' paradigm even further.
We've always been about exhibiting in unusual spaces and we will continue to integrate our exhibition into our performance spaces.
Blending art forms and encouraging collaboration between visual artists and musicians has been a key element of what we do, since the beginning.
Getintothis: What are the major challenges with planning Threshold – and a festival in general?
AM: Threshold is a volunteer-led organisation, which has incredible benefits but means most of our team work full time jobs.
This means time is precious and getting everyone together to meet can often be tough, but we have such a good time when we get together it reaffirms why we do it.
Apart from time, the other challenge (not surprisingly) is money – an issue for any small festival. We have been lucky over the years to get funding from public and private sources but we are a not for profit organisation and never paid ourselves for the work we do.
It's very much a labour of love, but when you look around a packed room and see people having an amazing time – it's worth it.
Getintothis: Are there any artists you'd love to have play – and which ones from Liverpool are you enjoying right now?
AM: If we're talking dream line-up, some artists that have been on heavy rotation this year for me are John Grant, Gus Gus, Beak, Fever Ray …but we're not really the kind of festival that markets itself on big headliners.
It's more about the mix and strength in diversity of the offer. As far as Liverpool bands – the last one I saw play was the amazing Queen Zee who are just going from strength to strength, playing all over Europe and touring again at the start of next year – go and see them if you haven't already.
Also loving She Drew The Gun, it's been so good to see them take off and love hearing them when they pop up on 6 Music.
I definitely want to name check Nick Ellis and The Vryll Society as well, but one group that is on our line up and I'm most excited about is Unstoppable Sweeties Show. They're anarchic, unpredictable and will be a perfect addition to the festival.
Getintothis: What's your thoughts on Liverpool's arts and music scene at present?
AM: When some key venues like Static Gallery, The Kazimier, Mello and Dumbells closed it felt like there could have been some really tough times for alternative promoters and emerging talent to find the right opportunities.
I know that it has been tough for many but like Liverpool itself, we keep going and find new spaces and platforms to explore and express ourselves.
Mainstay venues in the Baltic like District and 24 Kitchen Street and of course Constellations took in those displaced from the city centre, but it wasn't long before the North Docks really took off and there is such a great choice of venues there to play in now.
There are tough times but there are always shining lights out there that give me hope – the likes of Drop the Dumbulls, Melodic Distraction, Immix Ensemble, Positive Vibration and studios like The Royal Standard, alongside critical friends like The Double Negative. We're all part of a big, wonderful creative ecosystem which has plenty of ups and downs… but that's the way it's always been.
Getintothis: Finally, anything else to declare?
AM: Tickets are on sale now – just £15 for two days, visit our website – and thanks for the questions.

What to eat when you're pregnant
You've heard the rumours that pregnant women in some countries are chowing down on soft cheese and raw fish? Here's what science has to say about it.
Before Rachelone* became pregnant, it didn't occur to her to ask her partner if he would support her and their baby financially when she was on maternity leave.
Because, hey, why would she? Even men who cling most fervently to traditional models of masculinity tell us that providing is central to their identity. You know, that whole hunter ethos that has apparently survived since we lived in caves.
When the mother is taking time out of the workforce, struggling through sleep deprivation and cracked nipples, the least you'd expect of the father – who in this case, according to Rachelone "earns a very high wage" – is to cough up for the nappies and groceries.
But when Rachelone, already with her growing belly, raised the money subject, it turned out that this whole concept of actually paying to support the kid you just made was a bit of a surprise to her partner. He insisted Rachelone continue to pay half of the mortgage and living expenses when she was on maternity leave.
This meant that Rachelone would have to use the payout she received when she was made redundant during the early stages of her pregnancy.
Rachelone turned to the online mother forum Mumsnet, to gauge which one of them was being unreasonable. She asked: "Should the mother pay 50/50 towards bills when on maternity leave?"
The responses were pretty much unanimous.
"[O]nly if you invoice him for all the baby bills and child care… 24hrs a day".
"Absolutely, as long as he pushes half the baby out of his vagina and takes 50 per cent of the parental leave and associated pay drop. What a f---ing dick. Leave the bastard."
"Maybe you could suggest he takes paternity leave and looks after baby full time and pays 50 per cent of everything while you return to work and your full income."
The solidarity from other mothers may make Rachelone feel better, but it's unlikely to actually help with the very real and worrying financial insecurity she's facing.
Babies and children are expensive. From conception to the their first birthday, a baby is likely to set you back in excess of $40,000. Motherhood is also one of the surest ways to stall a woman's career and dent her future earning potential, while ensuring she's put on the "mummy track". And it's not just their current salary that women need to worry about. Reduced salary today means reduced superannuation and reduced financial security in older age.
In addition to Rachelone's reduced life-long income, she will potentially use up her savings from her redundancy payout – savings that she's unlikely to ever recoup due to her reduced "mother income" and increased cost of supporting a child.
What Rachelone's partner thinks is 50/50 and presumably fair in principle, is grossly unjust in reality and has the potential to force the mother of his child into a life of increasing financial insecurity.
Perhaps the most perverse part of Rachelone's story is that her partner, and men like him, are beneficiaries of feminism. Feminists have been fighting for decades for mothers' rights to paid work, meaning that men are often not the sole breadwinners in families.
This has essentially enabled these men to contribute even less to their families. They know their kid is not going to starve because their wife wouldn't let it happen, no matter how difficult and unfair it is for her.
Men often justify leaving all the domestic work and childcare to mothers because they are bringing home the bacon. But in cases like Rachelone's, these men aren't even doing much of that.
Examples like Rachelone's are a cautionary tale to any woman thinking about a serious relationship. We need to have a detailed money conversation with our partner before making a permanent commitment — whether it's buying a house together, getting married or having children. It's only before the fact that women have power to negotiate. Unless you have the option to easily walk away and potentially find a more suitable partner, your ability to negotiate is always going to be less.
But to be fair to Rachelone, it probably wouldn't have occurred to her to even ask her partner if he would support her and their child. Like many mothers who find themselves struggling with financial inequality in their own relationships, the idea of the man she loves insisting on a financial arrangement where she is worse off than him was probably unthinkable.

There's nothing new about dusky blue, it's just moved out of the nursery zone and into the rest of our homes with a stylish bang. When I read that this was the new hue for 2018, I was a little smug as 3 months ago I just had to paint our wardrobes in Barbados blue, (see here) and nothing could stop me!
The blue hue is dusky and dreamy and if you've loved and still love pink velvet, (always) then you'll be crushing on this colour too. Bring this blue shade in through furniture, textiles, or be bold and paint the walls. Just remember to style with bold accessories so it doesn't look too wishy washy.
Take a look at these inspiring blue interiors and you could be convinced that this dusky blue hue is for you.
If you feel like painting the walls blue is a little on the risky side you can style a neutral space with statement light blue furniture like this stunning room above. But i you really want to be bold…
Next up, Jessica Alba's living room is the perfect example of balancing light blue with stronger colours. The black and red give it a bold edge, well done to our favourites, Consort Design for creating this gorgeous space.
We also love this blue corner with matching artwork. Complementing the baby blue with a stronger blue hue will really pack some punch.
This living room uses dusky blue curtains and textiles to balance the greener walls.
Blue velvet looks so sumptuous in a dark room like this one:
You can't go wrong with a blue velvet sofa like this one:
Blue is the perfect colour for an extremely luxurious dressing room (house envy) like this one:
And this one…
Lastly, pairing blue with brass is a great way to balance the colour and make it stand out. Like these light blue curtains:
What do you think? Convinced yet? We are.

Harry Potter stormed out of class, wanting to do three things simultaneously. Sadly, none of them were even possible, because he had Transfiguration. McGonagall, while generally easy going in a stern fashion, was not any more lenient with her Gryffindors, and she hated people skipping class. That was probably why she had class every single day of the week - "Transfiguration is a process" and all that.
Harry wanted answers, and not the spell-casting variety. He wanted to pin that blond ferret against the wall, and wring the information out of his bloody neck if he had to.
Worse, he wanted to do the same thing to Snape - and even the thought of throwing Snape against a wall made his stomach feel like someone had removed it from his gut. He wanted to do it anyway, fear notwithstanding.
But no, he had to go to class. It wasn't even class with the Slytherins, though at this point his uncertain temper was going to get him in trouble regardless, so maybe he should be happier that he's got Transfiguration with Hufflepuffs. At this rate, even they'd piss him off enough for him to be blatantly hexing people in class.
"Harry-" Hermione said, scrambling to keep up with his longer legs.
"Mate, what's wrong?" Weasley said, " 'sNot like you to turn down hexin' Malfoy for being a royal twat."
"Seriously, Harry... what, exactly, is going on?" Hermione asked, her small form planting itself directly in front of him, in a neat move of acceleration followed by dramatic deceleration.
Harry twirled her into Ron's arms, simply to avoid crashing into her and sending them both sprawling - and then had to catch himself, as the reddening look on Ron's face was Absolutely Priceless, and he really ought not to be laughing.
"Harry!" Hermione cried, as Harry bolted into a 'not quite run', letting the distraction serve as his response to her question. "This conversation isn't-"
And the stairs moved, and Harry didn't hear the rest of what she had to say. Just as well, it was predictable.
Harry slid into class, squirming into his chair - entrely unsurprised when four minutes later Hermione and Ron took the seats beside him. They opened their mouths and Harry - instead of speaking, interrupted by squeezing their hands. Looking down at the table (to hide his conversation from McGonagall primarily), "I don't know what's going on, alright?" Harry looked at both his friends, solid determination set in his green eyes. "But I intend to find out."
Ron opened his mouth, and Harry said, "Before you ask - I can't figure out what's going on, if it's already blasted to smithereens. That's why."
In the front of the classroom, Minerva McGonagall had the strangest impression that she'd missed more than two thirds of that conversation - and that, despite missing so much, it was a harbinger of ill times indeed.
[a/n: Ever have one of those days? When everything's a cat toy dangling just out of your reach? Harry's having one of those right about now. Insatiable curiosity meets TransfigurationClass. Boom at eleven.

Manny Pacquiao Wanted to Fight in April, According to Freddie Roach
Manny Pacquiao suffered a devastating knockout defeat this past December. With the whole world watching and everything on the line, the former champ got dropped face first on the canvas by a man who has consistently called himself better for the past eight years. It was brutal. When you factor in the emotional and physical damage he sustained, it suddenly becomes clear why so many wondered if Pacquiao would finally call it quits afterward.
As it turns out, though, stepping away from boxing was the furthest thing from Pacquiao's mind following his lost to Marquez. In fact, he wanted to get back on the horse a lot sooner than anyone would have thought.
About six months sooner.
Fortunately, Hall of Famer trainer Freddie Roach was there to slow his guy down and emphasize the importance of a full and healthy recovery. The truth of the matter is, if Pacquiao rushed back too soon, fought again and lost – his career would undoubtedly be over. This way, the Filipino star gives himself a fair shot. If he loses he loses, but at least he will go into his next match at full strength.
During a recent interview with ProBoxingFans.com, Roach discussed how he talked Pacquiao off the ledge when the 34-year-old wanted to jump right into an April showdown. Check it out:
Roach has caught a lot of flak recently for Pacquiao's losses and what happened with Amir Khan. Some of the criticism is justified, some isn't. However, there is no denying that Roach is a good trainer. Maybe he doesn't always make right calls, and maybe he doesn't emphasize defensive boxing the way he should, but at least he constantly makes sure his guys' heads are in the right place.
Win or lose in his next bout, Pacquiao is lucky to have Roach in his corner.

The meal commenced with a glass of prosecco blanco and house ricotta cheese served with toasted sourdough.
