|Name and quarry location:
|Tartaro di Tivoli, alabastro di Tivoli, from Tivoli, Lazio, Italy
|Geological description:
|Compact banded travertine composed of fibrous to very finely acicular calcite crystals, perhaps originally aragonite.
|The name 'tartaro' is probably derived from the resemblance of some calcareous precipitates to the encrustrations of potassium bitartrate ('tartar') deposited in wine casks during fermentation. It has also been suggested that Corsi's samples are named after Lago di Tartaro, a location close to Tivoli. Other examples of this stone are uncommon. A tablet is in an inlayed table-top brought back from Rome in 1830 and now in the National Trust's Farnborough Hall in Oxfordshire. In Corsi's tabletop of modern Italian marbles in the Natural History Museum, London, Corsi refers to this stone as alabastro di Tivoli.
|Corsi (1825) 104-106; Price (2007) 59. Other examples: NHM London Corsi tabletop (modern) 41h.

NWSB Editor and Writer Chris Anderson gives five reasons as to why Oregon Duck fans just cannot stand the Oregon State Beavers. Ducks and Beavers are not meant to get along; not in nature and not in sporting contests. In nature, Ducks are free-roaming, exploring creatures who explore the rivers, streams, and lakes that communities have to offer. Beavers dam them up and create natural problems that ruin the ecosystem of certain areas.

The Mewlips
The Mewlips is a nonsensical but eerie hobbit poem, appearing in the work The Adventures of Tom Bombadil by J.R.R. Tolkien. It concerns the Mewlips, an imaginary race of evil creatures that feed on passers by, collecting their bones in a sack. The poem describes the long and lonely road needed to reach the Mewlips, travelling beyond the Merlock Mountains, and through the marsh of Tode and the wood of "hanging trees and Gallows-Weed". None of these places appear on any of the maps.
The Poem
The Shadows where the Mewlips dwell
Are dark and wet as ink,
And slow and softly rings their bell,
As in the slime you sink.
You sink into the slime, who dare
To knock upon their door,
While down the grinning gargoyles stare
And noisome waters pour.
Beside the rotting river-strand
The drooping willows weep,
And gloomily the gorcrows stand
Croaking in their sleep.
Over the Merlock Mountains a long and weary way,
In a mouldy valley where the trees are grey,
By a dark pool´s borders without wind or tide,
Moonless and sunless, the Mewlips hide.
The cellars where the Mewlips sit
Are deep and dank and cold
With single sickly candle lit;
And there they count their gold.
Their walls are wet, their ceilings drip;
Their feet upon the floor
Go softly with a squish-flap-flip,
As they sidle to the door.
They peep out slyly; through a crack
Their feeling fingers creep,
And when they´ve finished, in a sack
Your bones they take to keep.
Beyond the Merlock Mountains, a long and lonely road,
Through the spider-shadows and the marsh of Tode,
And through the wood of hanging trees and gallows-weed,
You go to find the Mewlips - and the Mewlips feed.

Mobile Shoppers, an Opportunity for Retail?
Article ID: 596986
Released: 6-Dec-2012 3:45 PM EST
Source Newsroom: Saint Joseph's University
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — Consumer shopping patterns this holiday season point to a very clear trend: mobile shopping is increasing in popularity. In the past, mobile and online shopping have been viewed as a threat to traditional brick-and mortar stores, but Brent Smith, Ph.D., associate professor of marketing at Saint Joseph's University, sees an opportunity for retailers to connect with tech-savvy consumers through their mobile devices.
According to the online payment service provider PayPal, the number of people shopping on mobile devices shot up by 173 percent on 'Black Friday' compared to the equivalent day in 2011.
"It's a make or break time," says Smith. "Retailers must tap into mobile devices will gain a competitive edge. Otherwise, they risk being perceived as out-of-touch, hurting their top-of-mind awareness, and becoming irrelevant."
For retailers that recognize the importance of engaging mobile shoppers, Smith offers the following five tips:
1. There's an app for that. Make it easy for shoppers to learn about your products, special promotions and where to get them.2. Don't be obnoxious. Rather than deluge consumers inboxes with daily emails, make them feel special and give them unique offers; such as expiring QR codes accessible or redeemable only via a smartphone.3. Do market research. Learn who is most likely to buy your product. Which buyers are most likely to bite on early deals? What level of discount tends to attract certain buyers? Who are your last minute or impulse shoppers?4. Have a mobile-friendly website. In a recent Google survey, 67 percent of people said they are more likely to buy from a site that is mobile-friendly. Conversely, people said that if a site didn't work well with their mobile device, it was an indication that the company didn't care about their business.5. Market to multiple segments. Expect buyers to utilize multiple methods for accessing information about products and discounts. Retailers should direct marketing efforts toward multiple segments — mobile devices, social media, website and in-store.

Teacher pension reform law signed
LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder has signed a law reforming school employee pension costs, according to MLive.
MLive reports that the pension reform law increases the amount retired school employees pay for their own health care costs, caps district pension contributions, and retools health coverage for new school employees.
Supporters say the changes reduce the unfunded liability of the state's school retirement fund by $15 billion, according to MLive.
Snyder also told MLive that he will appeal a recent court ruling that limits the state from collecting 3 percent of school employee wages to pay for retiree health care costs. While the decision is appealed, the state will continue to collect that money, MLive reports.
SOURCE: MLive, "Gov. Snyder signs teacher pension law, will appeal court ruling on previous, mandated 3 percent contributions," Sept. 4, 2012.

What's funny about these sticky portions is that they are often rather mundane skills that you have encountered time and again, but for some inexplicable reason, you just can't seem to make that wall-run. It seems as though the game may have some detection issues. I think the devs wanted to make the experience a bit more challenging in order to reinforce and heighten the sense of danger and precariousness of Faith's actions, but, as a gamer, I don't want to repeat the same gymkhana five times or more. All the same, if players stick with the game, there is a lot of rewarding gameplay to experience - gameplay that really shouldn't be missed.
Thankfully, the combat sequences in Mirror's Edge are very infrequent. I say 'thankfully' because using guns is not Faith's strong suit; she's a Runner, not a fighter. Moreover, I found even her disarming techniques and attack combos to be tricky. Pulling off sliding groin and flying face-kicks is very easy, but having to wait for your foes' weapon to glow red before you can disarm them is both difficult and time consuming. Hopefully, a sequel will make hand-to-hand encounters more user-friendly.
As far as sounds are concerned, Mirror's Edge draws from an original score that does a masterful job of setting the tone and mood of the game. The soothing Euro instrumentals heighten the intensity of gameplay with just the right amount of crescendo at appropriate moments. Also, ambient sounds such as sprinting footsteps, doors getting bashed open, the screeching of skin sliding on glass, etc. nicely capture the action onscreen. Voice acting is also very professional, but somewhat less engaging. This is mostly due to lackluster lip-syncing and somewhat pedestrian writing.
Outside of the Story mode, players can also challenge the Time Trial feature. I found Time Trials to be even more engaging and addictive than the campaign. Players will unlock levels within the Time Trial as they progress in the main mode. Tackling sections of the chapters like a race course, perfecting your skills, and truly feeling the flow was a joy. Plus, there are multiple paths you can take that will add or shave time off your score. What's more, Time Trial mode is backed by online leaderboard support. In other words, players will compete against folks around the world for the best times on a given course. This lends an addictive arcade quality to the game that is hard to beat. Finally, if you find yourself struggling to match (or even come close to) the top times, you can always load up the ghost of one of the leaders and learn their tricks. The Time Trial feature is as close to platforming perfection as I've found.
All in all, Mirror's Edge is a valiant effort to revolutionize gaming by a courageous studio. Largely, DICE pulled it off. But, there are several nagging spots that hamper the experience; repetitive environments and interactive elements, touchy controls and occasionally poor detection, and an uninspired story leave a significant amount to be desired. Even so, I found Mirror's Edge to be a truly unique and rewarding experience that I feel fortunate to have played.

I will be in PV March 4 2013 for a week . I want to bring my kites and board and plan to cab or bus it to Bucerias as my online research tells me that's the place in PV. My research on the wind says the windy season starts in March and goes to about April. Looks like mainly thermal afternoon winds best on sunny days. I am not sure how much to depend on windfinder.com for the forecasts due to the local thermal effects. I plan to bring my 17m 13m and 11m kites. Will the 17m be too big? I can only bring one board it will be 144cm long.
I have had no luck finding any local kite schools or local info but have only tried searching in English not Spanish. Most of the info on kiteforum is old and the PV web sites mentioned in the old posts are no longer on the net. I hope this does not mean kiting in PV area is dismal. I hope it is solely due to the short wind season in PV making it difficult to run a kite boarding business. If any one has any advice or local knowledge it would be much appreciated.

MPI tradeoffs: space vs. time
@brockpalen asked me a question in Twitter:
@jsquyres [can you discuss] common #MPI implementation assumptions made for performance and/or resource constraints?
Good question. MPI implementations are full of trade-offs between performance and resource consumption. Let's discuss a few easy ones.
Eager RDMA: This is an optimization that came out of the realization that RDMA operations on certain networks (e.g., iWARP, IBoE [a.k.a. RoCE], and InfiniBand) are typically faster than send/receive operations. The idea is simple: use RDMA to send short, unexpected messages instead of send/receive semantics. Essentially, this means that a short message will just magically show up in the receiver's memory without the receiving process doing anything — the RDMA transfer is completely handled in hardware.
The receiver can be aggressively polling on a specific location in memory to find out that a new message has arrived. Polling in this manner can notice the new message much faster than, say, an interrupt, or some other OS-induced mechanism.
However, to make this optimization work, every sender must have a dedicated memory chunk at the receiver to place incoming messages (think about it). And typically you want the receiver to be able to queue up multiple short messages from each sender, so for N processes with a receiving queue depth of M and maximum message size K, each MPI process consumes ((N-1)^2 x M x K) bytes just for possible incoming short messages.
Clearly, this does not scale as the number of processes increases — far too much memory is consumed (i.e., memory that cannot be used by the application).
But eager RDMA does reduce latency, so MPI implementations still like to use this optimization. A few ideas can be used to make it workable, even as the number of processes grows large, including:
- A receiver only sets up memory for eager RDMA for a given peer the first time that peer sends to it. Many MPI codes use "nearest neighbor" communication patterns, meaning that even though there may be a bajillion processes in the overall MPI job, each one only ever communicates with a few others.
- A receiver limits the number of peers who are allowed to utilize eager RDMA.
Hence, some peers get the benefits of eager RDMA — not all. This limits the amount of memory setup for eager RDMA.
In my next entry, I'll discuss another space vs. time optimization: shared receive queues.

The Charlotte Bobcats may or may not keep the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, which is creating some intrigue and uncertainty about the rest of the first round. Here's an updated look at who might go where in the first round of the NBA Draft, which takes place on June 28.
Mock Draft Version 2
1. New Orleans Hornets – Anthony Davis PF Kentucky
Davis has been hanging out with Hornets coach Monty Williams and this pick seems iron clad. If Davis isn't taken at No. 1, it might be the upset of the year in sports.
2. Charlotte Bobcats – Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF Kentucky
Most mock drafts have Kansas PF Thomas Robinson going here, but I'm going to stick to my early guns for now. Corey Maggette and Reggie Williams are not the answer for Charlotte at small forward, and if they keep this pick and skip on Robinson, Kidd-Gilchrist should be the guy. And he could end up being the best player in this draft.
3. Washington Wizards – Harrison Barnes SF North Carolina
I am clearly in the minority here and it's no secret that the Wizards love Brad Beal, but I still don't see them taking a shooting guard as long as Jordan Crawford is on the team. As of right now, the best SF on the Wizards is Chris Singleton, so I'm going to stick to my original pick of Harrison Barnes going at No. 3. But this pick could easily change the closer we get to draft night.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers – Brad Beal SG Florida
Brad Beal is often tied to the Wizards, so he might not be available here. And while Thomas Robinson is going to be a great power forward, the need in Cleveland seems to be a little greater at shooting guard. Beal's size is a concern, but he looks like a great shooter, which could help make up for it. We just have to wait and see if the Bobcats or Wizards take Beal, or if the Cavs decide to take Thomas Robinson instead.
5. Sacramento Kings – Thomas Robinson PF Kansas
My heart and the things I read tell me Robinson will be gone by the time the Kings pick at No. 5, but I still don't see an ideal fit for him in the first four picks. I also don't see Robinson falling any lower than No. 5, so if he's still around when the Kings pick, they simply have to take him.
6. Portland Trail Blazers (via Brooklyn Nets) – Damian Lillard PG Weber State (Version 1: Jeremy Lamb SG UConn)
Lillard considers himself the best point guard in the draft and shot it very well at the Combine. His name is most associated with the Trail Blazers, who will likely be in need of a point guard if and when Raymond Felton is sent packing. Lillard has also said all the right things in regards to going to Portland, and it appears we may have a love connection brewing here. For now, I'm saying the Blazers pull the trigger on him at No. 6.
7. Golden State Warriors – Perry Jones PF Baylor (Version 1: Andre Drummond C UConn)
The Warriors are theoretically set at PG (Stephen Curry), SG (Klay Thompson), SF (Dorell Wright) and PF (David Lee), and C (Andrew Bogut), but also seem hell bent on making a trade before the draft. The guys they're targeting are rumored to include Andre Iguodala, Luol Deng, Nicolas Batum, Rudy Gay, Josh Smith and Danny Granger, but landing one of them isn't going to be easy. They could use some depth at PG and C given Stephen Curry's and Andrew Bogut's injury histories, but it appears they really want another option at forward besides Wright and Brandon Rush. Jones should be a solid NBA forward, and I'm bumping him up to be the Warriors' pick if they can't pull off a trade.
8. Toronto Raptors – Dion Waiters SG Syracuse
There have been rumors that both the Raptors and Suns have made a promise to Waiters, although the Raptors have denied it. Promise or not, the Raps want a swingman in the draft, unless they trade for an established veteran. Waiters makes sense for the Raptors, although SG Jeremy Lamb could also end up going here. But for now, even though I find it hard to believe Waiters has a lead-pipe lock of a guarantee from any team, Waiters is my choice for the Raptors.
9. Detroit Pistons – Jeremy Lamb SG UConn (Version 1: Perry Jones PF Baylor)
The Pistons have Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey to play SG, and could be targeting a power forward here. But if Perry Jones is gone, Lamb might be the best player left on the board at No. 9. And given the inconsistency of both Gordon and Stuckey, taking a flier on an athlete like Lamb is a real possibility for the Pistons.
10. New Orleans Hornets (from Timberwolves via Clippers) – Andre Drummond C UConn (Version 1: Damian Lillard PG Weber State)
Emeka Okafor and Chris Kaman are not locks to be back in New Orleans next year, so it makes sense that they would look at UConn center Andre Drummond with this pick. And on a side note, don't be too surprised if the Hornets don't make a serious run at PG Chris Paul after next season, as he still has numerous ties and reasons to return to New Orleans, if the price is right, and the Clippers don't step up and improve their core. There was also late breaking news on Monday night that the Hornets may want Austin Rivers here, and if it happens, that would clear the way for the Blazers to get Drummond with the next pick.
11. Portland Trail Blazers – Austin Rivers SG Duke (Version 1: Tyler Zeller C North Carolina)
If the Blazers get a PG Damian Lillard with the No. 6 pick, getting a center or shooting guard should happen at No. 11, if they don't trade the pick. No. 11 seems a little too soon for UNC C Tyler Zeller, and Austin Rivers could see his stock climb as draft day approaches. If the Blazers come away with both Lillard and Rivers, my guess is they'll be very happy with their draft. Zeller, Illinois' C Meyers Leonard and Mississippi State's C Arnett Moultrie are also going to get a look from Portland here.
12. Milwaukee Bucks – Meyers Leonard C Illinois (Version 1: Terrence Jones PF Kentucky)
The Bucks are set at guard with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, and will therefore be looking for forwards or a center. Ekpe Udoh and Drew Gooden are the best big men in Milwaukee after they traded Andrew Bogut, and Leonard's stock should continue to rise prior to the draft. If they don't take Leonard, Tyler Zeller and Arnett Moultrie will also get a close look from the Bucks.
13. Phoenix Suns – Jared Sullinger PF Ohio State
Channing Frye left something to be desired this season and the Suns still have Markieff Morris ready to take a big step next season. Their true need is at small forward, and Sullinger might be able to play both forward positions in the NBA, although he's clearly more suited for PF. Sullinger will likely be the best player available when the Suns pick, although they will also give strong consideration to Kentucky PF Terrence Jones, if he's still on the board.
14. Houston Rockets – Tyler Zeller C North Carolina (Version 1: Meyers Leonard C Illinois)
Marcus Camby wants to come back to the Rockets, while Samuel Dalembert will also be back. The Rockets are still trying to replace Yao Ming, and Kevin McHale is not a big Dalembert fan. And with Camby's constant injury concerns, Zeller might be the best center left on the board at No. 14. Meyers Leonard and Arnett Moultrie will also get a look here.
15. Philadelphia 76ers – John Henson PF North Carolina
Elton Brand is getting older and the Sixers could use a defensive banger to replace him. Henson should be just that. If they don't go with Henson here, Terrence Jones would be another solid option.
Elton Brand is getting older and the Sixers could use a defensive banger to replace him. Henson should be just that. If they don't go with Henson here, Terrence Jones would be another solid option.
16. Houston Rockets (from Knicks) – Terrence Jones PF Kentucky (Version 1: Austin Rivers SG Duke)
If the Rockets get a center with their first pick they may be looking for the best player available at 16. And Jones should be a good one. They already have Luis Scola locked in as the starter at PF, but Jones would make sense, as they could take time developing behind Scola for a year or two.
17. Dallas Mavericks – Arnett Moultrie PF/C Mississippi State
Dirk Nowitzki isn't going to be around forever and my guess is Moultrie can also play some center for a small lineup. The Mavs have needs at both big men positions and Moultrie can fill those. He can also score from the outside, and might end up being a nice transition player as Dirk's career winds down.
18. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Jazz) – Tony Wroten SG Washington
The Wolves could really use a SG and Wroten might end up being a solid combo guard, able to also play the point. He's another guy that could climb up this list with solid workouts, but he makes a lot of sense for the Wolves here, if he's still available. And given David Kahn's love of drafting point guards, Wroten looks like an ideal pick here.
19. Orlando Magic – Kendall Marshall PG North Carolina
The Magic probably realize that they may not ever win a championship with Jameer Nelson at point guard, and while they could have several glaring holes if Dwight Howard is moved, PG seems like the most obvious one right now. And Marshall has the potential to be a sleeper PG, just like Ty Lawson was.
20. Denver Nuggets – Moe Harkless F St. Johns (Version 1: Andrew Nicholson PF St. Bonaventure)
Kenneth Faried was a nice surprise for the Nuggets this season, but they could still use some depth down low. Add in the fact that Harkless can play either forward spot, and he makes a lot of sense for Denver, who will also take a close look at Andrew Nicholson out of St. Bonaventure.
21. Boston Celtics – Andrew Nicholson PF St. Bonaventure (Version 1: Jeffery Taylor SF Vanderbilt)
It's hard to know what the Celtics are going to do with Jeff Green hanging in the balance, along with the aging core of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. And they also have a big hole at center. Fab Melo could be taken with one of these two picks, but they may look to back up (or replace) Kevin Garnett at PF with Nicholson. He is also a solid shooter from the outside, which should boost his draft stock in the end.
22. Boston Celtics (from Clippers via Thunder) – John Jenkins SG Vanderbilt (Version 1: Moe Harkless F St. Johns)
Jenkins is a sleeper and it appears that Ray Allen will not be back with the Celtics next season. They've got Avery Bradley, but securing another shooting guard should be a priority for the Celtics. Jenkins is a great shooter and would give Boston a nice option as another 3-point shooter to help fill the hole left by Allen.
23. Atlanta Hawks – Fab Melo C Syracuse
Given the fact that Al Horford is really a power forward and that Zaza Pachulia could be starting at center next season, the Hawks have a glaring need. Melo should be a solid source of rebounds and blocks, and clearly fills a need.
24. Cleveland Cavaliers (from Lakers) – Royce White SF Iowa State
The Cavaliers have plenty of needs across the board, with small forward being one of the glaring ones. White's as versatile as they come and might be a steal this late.
25. Memphis Grizzlies – Jeffery Taylor SF Vanderbilt (Version 1: John Jenkins SG Vanderbilt)
Rudy Gay has the small forward position locked down in Memphis, but his name keeps popping up in trade rumors. If they do move him, Taylor could be a serious target for the Grizzlies at No. 25.
26. Indiana Pacers – Draymond Green SF Michigan State
The Pacers are deep and have all positions covered, so they'll be looking for the best player available. Whether or not Green qualifies as that remains to be seen, he's got experience, can rebound and score. He was a power forward in college but will have to learn to play small forward in the NBA.
27. Miami Heat – Marquis Teague PG Kentucky
Mario Chalmers has caught the ire of LeBron James throughout the playoffs and the Heat would love to add another point guard to the roster to challenge Chalmers and Norris Cole. Teague is just that, and this looks like a perfect match.
28. Oklahoma City Thunder – Quincy Miller SF Baylor
As the playoffs have shown, the Thunder's biggest need is a scoring big man, but I doubt they'll find him this late in the draft. They could also use someone to give Kevin Durant some minutes relief, and Miller, who will take some time to develop after knee surgery, could be a solid backup for Durant down the line.
29. Chicago Bulls – Terrence Ross SG Washington
Richard Hamilton was injured for much of the season and shooting guard is definitely a place the Bulls could use some help. Ross can also play some minutes at small forward, backing up Luol Deng, and looks like an excellent choice for the Bulls. Yes, Derrick Rose will miss most of next season, but C.J. Watson and John Lucas should be able to hold down the fort.
30. Golden State Warriors (from Spurs) – Festus Ezeli C Vanderbilt
With PG Stephen Curry and C Andrew Bogut both being huge injury risks, the Warriors could use healthy bodies at both positions. Ezeli should crash the boards and block shots, but has limited upside as well as limited offensive potential. But the Warriors don't really need another scorer. They need a defensive center who can fill in for Bogut when his back acts up again.

Dynamo captain Brian Ching was held out of Monday's training session following an apparent rib injury suffered during this past Saturday's 1-1 draw at New York. Ching came out of the match at the 39-minute mark of the 1-1 draw at Red Bull Arena following dual collisions with New York goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul.
"He took a couple of big hits in the rib are, and that's where we think the trouble is," said head coach Dominic Kinnear, who added that Ching was being X-rayed on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
In addition to Ching, center back Jermaine Taylor also missed Monday's training session with plantar fasciitis in his foot, an injury the Jamaican picked up while on international duty. Taylor told MLSSoccer.com that he feels he's "75 percent" healthy at this point and is being cautious about his return.
"It's best to get back on the field when you're 100 percent," said Taylor. "You want to go back in fit … so I'm taking my time to get as much treatment as I can and get back when I'm full strength."
Taylor is hopeful to return for Sunday's home match against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

text: Aren't these prints by sonia rollo delightful? Ah, etching and dogs combined together, a favorite art medium meets a favorite subject, so I'm bound to start out happy. But of course it's the way the animals are rendered and brought to life with such empathy and insight that's the real story here. Beautifully composed, colored and drawn, they convey the spirit and character of their subjects with such sensitivity. Which just makes me happy.


text: Hi Till/Falko First, thank you very much for your detailed email to my questions according single/multi server setup, and of course your great tutorials. As everything is written in English here, I do the same. Let me explain my situation first: I have a server running Debian 6, IP (176.9.XX.75) with installed Proxmox (I followed their installation guide). On this machine, I created 4 containers using the build in OpenVZ Wizard: web.rackster-server.ch (176.9.YYY.209 - Web- & DB-Server) mail.rackster-server.ch (176.9.YYY.210 - Mail-Server) ns1.rackster-server.ch (176.9.YYY.211 - DNS-Server) ns2.rackster-server.ch (176.9.YYY.212 - DNS-Server) (The IP's are in a different subnet than the host server.) All of them have the setup from your tutorial, following it line for line. Additionaly I added these DNS records using ISPConfig: Code: A mail 188.8.131.52 0 A ns1 184.108.40.206 0 A ns2 18.104.22.168 0 A rackster-server.ch. 126.96.36.199 0 A web 22.214.171.124 0 A www 188.8.131.52 0 MX rackster-server.ch. mail.rackster-server.ch. 10 NS rackster-server.ch. ns2.rackster-server.ch. 0 NS rackster-server.ch. ns1.rackster-server.ch. 0 What is the problem now? Base problem is, that pointing to the servers using their "domain" doesn't work. If I go to them using their IP, everything works as it should. Also, the jobqueue in ISPConfig does show a lot of jobs which are opened, but they are not getting done. Base problem would be related to this, because the DNS records from above aren't written to the DNS server, would't it? As I don't have much of knowledge (yeah yeah you know that, don't laugh now ) I have no idea what could be the problem. Only thing I can guess is something with the network config? Network config on host system: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 176.9.XX.75 Debian-60-squezze-64-minimal and some IPv6 things Network web.rackster-server.ch: Code: ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters # multiserver setup 176.9.YYY.210 mail.rackster-server.ch 176.9.YYY.211 ns1.rackster-server.ch 176.9.YYY.212 ns2.rackster-server.ch 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost # Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment. 176.9.YYY.209 web.rackster-server.ch web Edit: Well now I am not even able to SSH the mail, ns1 and ns2 server, but they are up and running... I thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping me. Kindly Regards, Michel

Christian Voters Play Key Role in Upcoming Elections
Eileen Townsend, Christian activist and author of America's Role in Revelation, has launched a campaign to mobilize the Christian community this election season. Ms. Townsend is urging Christian voters to support candidates for whom the restoration of all Biblically based rights, freedoms, and principles would be a priority if they are elected. The complacency that has gripped the Christian community as of late has led to the slow decline of American values and the destruction of our freedoms, yet as Ms. Townsend reveals in the pages of her book, all hope is not lost. Christians must rise together and take action now. This action begins with a vote.
America's Role in Revelation awakens even the most skeptical of readers. It is here, in exciting detail, that Ms. Townsend distills the Book of Revelation, revealing its true message. It is her contention that God rebukes the One World Government, and supports our resistance to it. Through biblical references, Ms. Townsend shows that America is not symbolized in the Book of Revelation, a discovery that she believes proves God's will, and urges us to take heed. On her website, she warns "We, God's people, must vote in men and women that will reestablish Godly principles and save our nation before it is too late. We cannot afford to allow America to fail -- God is watching us."
Eileen Townsend has been an intercessor since 1980. She works as a nurse, owned a pharmaceutical company, and helped launch several companies. She is a mother and a grandmother, and holds her family dear. Her nurturing disposition and love of God motivates her fight for the preservation of God's word and the restoration of mankind. A political activist for 40 years, Ms. Townsend has participated in multiple public speaking engagements, including her interview most recently on GCIN Radio, which may be heard by visiting: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/usainprophecy/2012/09/30/eta-interviews-with-eileen-townsend-america-in-revelation#.UGjRpgevPts.email

Artist Rejects Patriarchal Society and Empowers Woman to Forge New Pathway
Kimberly Berg has awakened the ancient goddess! A male feminist artist, Berg's work challenges the patriarchal system that has evolved to dominate our world by exposing it as a system that is not only unworkable and unsustainable, but also unjust. Guided by the prehistoric record, which shows evidence that pre-patriarchal Neolithic societies respected and honored their women, Berg believes that we are approaching the tipping point of patriarchal dominance as women gain the confidence to reclaim their inherent birthright. And just to be sure a feminist transformation is underway, Berg has heaved the final stones necessary to tip the scale by launching a campaign to educate the public on the history of women's culture and the factors that led to its unfortunate subjugation.
Berg has recently unveiled The Legacy of the Goddess, a power point presentation which outlines the forgotten pre-history of women's culture and highlights the revered role of woman in Neolithic societies. By bringing his message to classrooms and community centers across the country, Berg hopes to restore the female voice so that she may dance once again into the wind.
Kimberly Berg holds a Bachelor of Science in History from the University of Wisconsin, with a concentration in Ancient History. He lives a self-sustaining life of voluntary simplicity in a Thoreau-like cabin, surrounded by the trees and wildlife of the Adirondack Mountains. Without electricity and with only a wood burning stove for heat in this sometimes harsh climate, Berg has forged an essential pact with nature and has learned to respect and appreciate the elements of his lifestyle that have become extinct in modern society. His interest in women's advocacy was sparked by a book written by Layne Redmond entitled When Drummers Were Women, which opened his eyes to the historical decline in women's stature and the urgent necessity that both genders work together to restore equality for the greater good of humanity.
Join Kimberly Berg in his quest to awaken the ancient goddess. To learn more, please visit: http://www.isisrising.net

The BMW N54 gets its 6th straight victory in the 2.5 to 3.0 liter class which likely will be its last award as well with the move to the N55 in most models. The only other BMW motor to win six straight times is the S54 from the E46 M3.
In exciting news the new N20 turbo four cylinder took a well deserved victory in the hotly contested 1.8 to 2.0 liter category. It replaces the previous winner which was also a BMW motor, the N47 diesel.
The N18 1.6 liter turbo four cylinder from Mini wins the 1.4 liter to 1.8 liter category for the second straight year. It's predecessor also won from 2007-2010.
Great work by BMW who continues to show everyone it is the world's best engine builder without equal. We just hope with the naturally aspirated motors exiting the competition BMW is still able to dominate the way they have with the competition all adopting similar turbocharged and direct injected styles.

Maxcube Amoris 6010 Review
On the outside of every great build, there is a case to enclose it. However, a case shouldn't be some boring box either; it should look nice. Of course it needs to have function too, right? That is where Maxcube comes in with its Amoris 6010. You probably have not heard of Maxcube before. Maxcube is another newcomer to the market of personal computers and the company doesn't just do cases either. Maxcube also manufactures CPU coolers, PSUs, fans, and even an external hard drive. The Amoris 6010 is the company's first case to be released.
For its first case, this one doesn't disappoint. With two 120mm blue LED fans to cool this beast and a rather stylish front panel door, just what else did Maxcube pack in and how does it perform? Read on to find out.
Closer Look:
As already said, this case does not disappoint. In fact, it looks very stylish without looking overtly tacky, unlike some other cases I have seen. The box is rather basic, for the most part, and shows off what I would say is the coolest part of it on the front. It shows the cool way the front panel doors open and also shows the opening left in it for light to shine through from the LED fan. This makes the overall presentation of the case seem very appealing. On the reverse side, it shows the case and arrows pointing to outline specific features, such as the CMOS reset switch in the rear. Yes, that's right, this case has a CMOS reset switch in the back so you won't have to open it up to reset the CMOS. The top of the box reveals specific specifications of the case, while both sides of the box show nothing more than the case, along with stating that the HD audio is Vista Ready.
Right out of the box, the case is sandwiched between two pieces of foam. This is typical for any case, but you'll notice something here a little out of the ordinary. It seems that Maxcube put plastic wrap over nearly everything, which covers the side mesh window, front panel doors, top I/O panel, and even the feet. Also, even more out of the ordinary is a sticker that tells you eSATA does not work unless the motherboard supports. This simply means that your motherboard needs to support and be in AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) mode in order to be able to use the plug and play capabilities of eSATA.
Well I'm sure you anxious to get to the rest of this review, so let's go on.

Benefits & Responsibilities
The City of San Diego recognizes the benefits of historical resource preservation to the community as well as to individual property owners. Preservation efforts stabilize neighborhoods and promote cultural tourism as well as offer a wide range of other benefits. Below is a list of benefits of historical preservation.
Historic preservation...
- Protects the unique history, architecture, or character of a community
- Provides the "competitive edge" of place differentiation and community livability
- Enhances quality of life
- Provides a sense of neighborhood and community pride
- Is compatible with established land use patterns
- Stabilizes or increases property values
- Encourages public reinvestment
- Stimulates private investment
- Encourages small business formation
- Maintains or enhances tax revenue collections
- Provides housing and jobs
- Is an incremental economic development strategy
- Attracts and retains high tech corporate headquarters
- Nourishes cultural organizations, non-profits and entrepreneurs
- Generates heritage tourism
- Attracts new residents
- Is environmentally responsible
- Reduces construction debris in landfills
- Uses existing infrastructure
- Reduces commute time and cost
- Reduces air pollution and traffic congestion
- Reinforces prior public and private sector investments
- Discourages sprawl
- Conserves farmland, open space and endangered habitat
- Reduces the need for additional roads, sewers, and utilities in outlying areas
- Establishes strong community ties
- Enhances community problem solving and consensus making ability
- Strengthens communication between neighborhoods and city hall
- Provides a sense of time and place
- Stabilizes neighborhoods
- Provides technical assistance to homeowners, property owners and business persons
- Promotes Business Improvement Districts or Main Street programs that provide resources for marketing and promotion, trash collection, graffiti removal and increased public security
- Increases neighborhood population diversity -in types of ethnicity, occupations, age, and income
- Assists neighborhood economic diversity by providing low cost space for small businesses
- Provides long-term assurance to property owners, lenders and investors that inappropriate, or out-of-scale, buildings will not be built in a historic district
- Increase the composite values of the sum of ALL the properties within the district
- Protects from wild swings in the real estate market
- Promotes active community participation
Historic neighborhoods have...
- A diversity of housing sizes, quality, price range and configuration
- Nearby employment centers
- Goods and services within walkable distances
- Established social infrastructure-schools, churches, hospitals, social agencies and neighborhood organizations
Property Owner Benefits
Property owners often perceive that the value of their asset is confined within their property line boundaries. However, the value of real estate is intensively interrelated with what is beyond the property boundaries. When a historic building is maintained and periodically rehabilitated, the financial benefits accrue not only to the owner but to adjacent building owners, nearby businesses and local government.
Other benefits for property owners of historical sites are financial incentives, including:
- Federal tax rehab credits (for National Register listed properties)
- Façade Improvement programs
- Design assistance
- Property tax reductions(Mills Act)
Unoccupied Historical Sites Minimum Maintenance Guidelines
While the word maintenance conjures tasks of scrubbing, cleaning, polishing, dusting, scraping, sanding, painting - its critical importance in the preservation of historic resources should not be overlooked. Maintenance is preservation. All too often, serious preservation problems arise because ordinary, routine maintenance has been deferred or is nonexistent. With regular maintenance, the life of a structure or resource can be measurably extended without the loss of historic fabric. Maintenance of historical resources deserves consideration from property owners and other responsible entities. If a resource is to be preserved, adequate planning and funding is required for all maintenance needs.
How to rehabilitate a Designated Historical property, or one that is 45 years old or older
If you own a structure that is over 45 years of age, that you would like to modify in some way, there may be historical guidelines that you must follow [or may want to follow] depending on your situation. The options for seeking guidance from the Historical Resources staff are outlined in the staff assistance procedure.

Visit our Historical Resources Frequently Asked Questions section, for more information on responsibilities and benefits of historical designation.

Franklin Community Health Network has become the 13th member of the state's largest hospital system, following a state approval issued Wednesday.
The independent health network, parent to the 65-bed Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington, will join Portland-based MaineHealth effective Oct. 1, both organizations announced Thursday.
MaineHealth, the parent organization to Maine Medical Center and a dozen other health care entities, plans to invest at least $2.25 million into FCHN, according to documents filed with the state's certificate of need unit, which regulates the expansion of health care facilities in Maine. Over the next four years, the money will fund implementation of an outpatient electronic medical records system also adopted by MaineHealth.
The certificate of need unit recommended approval of the deal, which Maine Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew granted Wednesday. She noted several conditions, including the organization's report on the success of their efforts to improve health in the community. They also must report to the state on referral patterns, which will reflect where patients in FCHN's service area seek care after the deal.
Neighboring Central Maine Healthcare, based in Lewiston, expressed concern to state regulators about where local doctors will refer patients following the acquisition.
The Franklin health network will pay MaineHealth an annual membership fee of $375,000. Those dues are expected to be offset by savings in lab services, insurance premiums and legal fees FCHN will realize by joining the system, according to the documents.
FCHN reported an operating loss of $7.6 million in fiscal year 2013. MaineHealth expects the network's operating costs to drop by about $523,000 within three years of becoming a member.
"Our health system has enjoyed a long-standing clinical collaboration with Franklin and its providers," MaineHealth President Bill Caron said in a news release. "Welcoming Franklin Community Health Network as a member of the MaineHealth family is a natural next step, and we look forward to working together to care for the greater Franklin County community."
Last December, after a year-long process to "evaluate options for the network's future," FCHN's board of directors unanimously approved joining MaineHealth, the news release states.
"MaineHealth and Franklin Community Health Network share the same values and mission, and by joining MaineHealth, we will be able to partner with the system and other members to improve healthcare in our community," Rebecca Arsenault, president and CEO of the network, said.
Central Maine Healthcare has a stake in the deal because its service area overlaps with FCHN's. About 30 percent of FCHN's patients receive care at Central Maine Medical Center, CMHC's flagship hospital in Lewiston. Only about 9 percent visit Maine Medical Center in Portland, MaineHealth's largest hospital.
CMHC questioned several of the financial projections presented by the network and MaineHealth, including the lower operating expenses and reductions in salaries and benefits, according to the documents. CMHC also noted FCHN expects supply costs to remain flat while anticipating serving more patients.
MaineHealth countered that full-time staff has been reduced from 655 to 602 and said more costly contract labor and purchased services have dropped. Supply expenses should remain consistent because of better management of supply chains, MaineHealth told regulators, according to the documents.
CMHC also wanted the state to prohibit referral patterns from changing as a result of the deal. To be approved, health care organizations must demonstrate their plans won't negatively affect the cost or quality of care provided by other hospitals and physician practices in the same area.
MaineHealth noted it doesn't expect the deal to affect referral patterns, which are based on patients' and physicians' preferences, the accessibility of health services and insurance benefits.
Formed in 1991, FCHN also includes physician practices in Farmington and Livermore Falls; Evergreen Behavioral Services, an emergency mental health service; NorthStar, a regional ambulance service; and Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County.
MaineHealth's other members include Lincoln County Healthcare in Damariscotta and Boothbay Harbor; Pen Bay Healthcare in Rockport; Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford and Sanford; Waldo County Healthcare in Belfast; Western Maine Health/Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway; Memorial Hospital in North Conway, New Hampshire; a Saco visiting nurses agency, NorDx lab in Scarborough; and Maine Behavioral Healthcare in South Portland.

What's in a Name by Andy Scheer

Love your definition of edgy, Andy.
Names are tricky. When I'm stumped, I sometimes thumb through a dog-eared copy of "5000 Baby Names" someone gave me as a shower gift many, many moons ago. Knowing the origin of a particular name helps me narrow down the choices considerably – especially if it adds a layer to the character.

- Linda Glaz said...
One thing that simply bunches my socks is when an outdated name is used for no other reason than to "date" the author. In my class in elem school, half the girls were named Linda, but today? Unless the author points out that Linda was named after her great aunt or something it totally dates the author and turns off a lot of readers who are in the "Shamrock" generation.

Edwina' suggestion to use a high school yearbook is an excellent idea.
- March 6, 2012 at 10:40 AM
- Heather Day Gilbert said...
Shamrock, wow! It's one thing when all the characters have strange/unusual names (The Hunger Games, with Prim, Peeta, Katniss, etc). But I agree w/you that it was too far out, esp. if the sibling had a normal name.

There is a large cemetery not far from our house. Sometimes I go over there and work with my laptop on a bench by the pond that has ducks and geese swimming in it. Very peaceful. I also get up and walk around looking at the headstones. You can not only get names, but see the dates the names had been used, and often get a little feel for the person from what they chose to go on the market.

You can select any year after 1879 and find a list of the most popular names for boy and girl babies born then.

I choose names that I think fit the nature of the the character. I'm not too concerned about which names are popular right now.
- March 6, 2012 at 12:23 PM
- Davalyn Spencer said...
I found myself spending too much space on characterization of a secondary character too early in a manuscript, so I changed his last name to Metzger. Every time I see it I think of the rottweilers - meat-wagon dogs from yore. That's how I had earlier described this person. Readers may not make the connection because it requires digging, unlike those wonderful names mentioned in today's post. But I know and that makes me smile.
- March 6, 2012 at 1:25 PM
Thanks for all the great info. Naming "my children" is important and challenging, I'm finding. Terry, when I read your comment about the cemetery it reminded me of old Addams Family TV show, when they used to picnic there on rainy days.
- March 6, 2012 at 1:52 PM
- Cheryl said...
The name of the main character usually comes to me before I even start writing. I write historicals, so I have to be sure a name fits in the time period, but luckily I haven't missed yet. I guess my characters are pretty smart.
I like the ideas posted by others for how to find names. I wouldn't have thought of them.
- March 6, 2012 at 7:27 PM
- Rick Barry said...
I used to thumb through phone directories in search of random names. Then Dr. Dennis Hensley pointed how names can carry extra significance, sometimes obvious and sometimes subtle. Now naming characters becomes more exciting as I choose a moniker with deeper meaning, even if the reader never grasps it. For example, many family names come from foreign lands and mean something the typical American would never guess. My latest manuscript includes several characters with Germanic backgrounds, and their surnames correlate to their roles.
Thanks for an interesting post.
