· Gubernatorial Candidate Christine Jones: At a recent forum I was asked one of the single-most important questions that a candidate for political office can face. The question was, "Where does your moral compass come from?" At three years old, I climbed onto the Sunday School bus that drove the neighborhood kids to the local evangelical church. It was there that I learned about God and His Son, Jesus. Since then, I have let my personal relationship with Him be my moral compass. One of my life phrases is, "Do the right thing because it's the right thing to do." I am not interested in making excuses or politicizing important issues. I am interested in doing things based on conviction and personal belief. As Governor, I can promise you that I will adhere to my moral compass.

· Gubernatorial Candidate Frank Riggs: Democrats in Congress claim the Congressional Republicans' budget proposal (the "Ryan Budget") will harm Medicaid recipients, yet they have no qualms about raiding Medicare to fund Obamacare. The Ryan Budget is a serious and responsible proposal to balance the federal budget over the next decade. Democrats not only make no pretense of balancing the budget or curbing the deficits that have given us a $17.6 trillion national debt, they have placed a huge burden for funding Obamacare squarely on the backs of seniors. One of the key reasons I'm running for Governor is to protect Medicare and senior health care choices while putting a stop to Obamacare and the Obamanization of Arizona. Obamacare is primed to funnel $200 billion out of Medicare Advantage and into Obamacare over the next decade. Altogether, over the next decade, about $1 trillion that otherwise would have been spent on Medicare will have to be rerouted to fund Obamacare subsidies. As a member of Congress, I fought to reform and strengthen Medicare. I'm the only candidate for governor with a proven record of protecting Medicare. It should remain a retirement health insurance program and shouldn't be raided to pay for Obamacare, including the expansion of Medicaid in Arizona. Arizonans and all Americans want choice and freedom, not mandates, when it comes to their health care. Let's work together and get it done.

· CD3 Candidate Gabriela Saucedo-Mercer: "Rep. (Raul) Grijalva's elitist sentiment shows how out of touch he is with the people, you, in CD3, and freedom loving Americans who are simply telling their government that enough is enough. Government is too big and it is out of control. Grijalva's views and statements are so typical of career progressive politicians who will fight against the people they are supposed to represent...and Americans across the country are fed-up. The Federal Government is acting tyrannical, and some of our politicians are supporting it, like Nevada's own Harry Reid, and Raul Grijalva." We the people...must demand that our government adhere to our US Constitution. ALEC is an organization who exercises its free speech rights, just as the Goldwater Institute and other organizations do. It is called the First Amendment, something a Democrat like Grijalva does not understand, except when he speaks.

· Congressman David Schweikert: Recently, the issue of tax simplification and reform was at the top of the agenda in the House Small Business Committee. I heard testimony from small business owners who spoke about the money and time lost to tax compliance. In fact, studies show that many small business owners pent upwards of 80 hours just to prepare their taxes. This is preposterous and a perfect example of why we need to reform the tax code to make it more fair. Today, our tax code is thousands of pages long and nearly unworkable for most Americans without professional guidance. This why I support comprehensive tax reform, like Rep. Dave Camp's 'Tax Reform Act of 2014'.

In his book, A Coming of Wizards, Michael Reynolds said four mystical beings, whom he called "wizards," appeared to him in psychedelic visions and gave him ideas that have guided his work. He wrote that the wizards taught him to "de-normalize" his thinking and tap into his own, personal "energy band."
The source of his vision was unconventional. The results of his mystical inspiration, however, have been practical successes in the real world.
Mike is the inventor of the Earthship, a home design that uses recycled materials and nature's own solar machinery to create snug, self-sufficient houses. When I met him in 1982, he'd already been building Earthships for the better part of a decade. They were scattered across northern New Mexico and southern Colorado.
They weren't like any other houses in the world. Mike had spontaneously — maybe instinctively — set out to solve several different puzzles at the same time. He wanted his houses to be energy independent, comfortable and beautiful, and he wanted to reutilize waste materials in their construction.
Mike Reynolds half-buried his houses in south-facing hillsides and created their south walls entirely from high-quality insulated glass so they would capture the heating energy of the sun. He built durable, moisture-proof roofs, buried them in insulating soil, and planted native plants on them so the roof could grow its own summer shade, which naturally thinned and let the sun warm the roof in winter. He invented a unique ventilation system that pulled cool air from outside and pushed overheated air out through skylights during warm weather.
The Earthships needed to store solar energy to use overnight and during cold, dark weather. Mike designed massive, 4-foot-thick interior walls and positioned them in the sunlight streaming in from the south-facing windows. He constructed thick floors of concrete and adobe that soaked up sunshine all day and then radiated warmth at night.
Old tires, bottles and tin cans were overflowing our landfills, so Mike decided to use them as building materials. The thick interior walls of his Earthship homes are made from old tires. Other walls use cans and glass bottles in the same manner as bricks, mortared with concrete or adobe. The "bottle walls" are left exposed so that sunlight shines into whimsical rooms through a mosaic of multicolored bottles and jars salvaged from the dump.
To stay off of costly, inefficient utility grids, Mike outfitted his houses with photovoltaic solar electricity, wind turbines and water collection systems. Other systems in the houses filter water from the sinks and bathtubs and reuse it in the toilets.
Because creating an Earthship is a labor-intensive process, Mike kept the mechanics simple. He figured few contractors would sign up to build Earthships. They are effectively handmade. They take a lot of hours. So he developed building techniques for amateurs. Anyone can quickly learn how to build a wall from concrete and tin cans or bottles. He invented a method of packing sand inside stacks of used tires to create the thick, stable interior walls. You can master the process in a few hours. After they've been stuccoed, Earthship homes have a beautiful natural shape and store a lot of thermal energy. In winter, they exude warmth through cold nights. In summer, they stay cool in the heat of the day.
Built-in planters grow food year-round inside Earthships. One owner picks bananas in the middle of winter from a tree that sits in the window of an Earthship situated at 7,000 feet elevation in the Rocky Mountains. Some of the unique structures include indoor goldfish ponds.
Mike built several Earthships himself, but soon he was coaching an army of Earthship builders, most of them do-it-yourselfers who wanted to play a personal role in the creation of their own homes. Earthships have been built in every shape and size imaginable, from little one-room, beer can bungalows to late actor Dennis Weaver's multimillion-dollar Earthship estate in Ridgeway, Colo. Construction of Weaver's 8,500-square-foot home reportedly repurposed 3,000 old tires and more than 350,000 discarded aluminum cans.
There are Earthship subdivisions and complexes of Earthship condominiums. Earthships now stand in Jamaica, Mexico, India, Japan, South America, Europe and Africa. Mike is the subject of a documentary film, Garbage Warrior, and has been interviewed on every major television network.
Not every Earthship home is beautiful, at least not to passersby. But look in the eyes of Earthship owners and you'll see an unmistakable glow of enthusiastic affection when they talk about their homes, especially if they built the houses themselves. To their owners, even the funkiest Earthships are lovable. And some of them are architectural wonders.
The early prototypes were experimental. Some of them seemed to soak up cold right out of the earth, and no woodstove would heat them. Others broiled their occupants, summer and winter. Sometimes Mike went back and fixed them with a new idea or two. Sometimes the homeowners sorted out the solutions themselves.
Still, nearly 40 years after their invention, Earthships are at the cutting edge of residential architecture.
I've ridden up and down dirt roads with Mike, looking at Earthship homes and listening to him talk about them. Although he was a licensed architect, the history of architecture wasn't interesting to him. Obviously he didn't operate in any established tradition. He didn't even seem to be interested in the history of the Earthship, his own creation. Mike talked mostly about the future — a future in which the Earthship philosophy of beauty and efficiency would be a major force in the world. The Earthship was, after all, invented for the future. Mike incubated the contemporary philosophy of "humanitarian design," the practitioners of which now include Nathaniel Corum, a man who designed hurricane-resistant housing in Haiti, built straw bale homes on a Navajo reservation, and built the cabin for Plastiki, the yacht made from discarded plastic bottles that sailed across the Pacific Ocean in 2010. Whether they realize it or not, present-day architects owe their identity, in part, to Mike Reynolds.
You don't see many references to Mike's visiting wizards on any of the thousands of websites about Earthships these days. Wizard visitations obviously don't get a lot of credit for the achievements of today's humanitarian designers and architects. But I've kept my copy of A Coming of Wizards as a reminder that sometimes a visionary needs to "de-normalize" how we think about things.

First time to comment and get involved in this blog… I've been Mother Earth News reader sense the 70's and In 1979 on I have designed and built several Earth Sheltered Homes. http://Earthshelteredconsultants.us (rebuilding web site now due to web host dropping all) But check it out if you like as it is being built. I'm also into Off The Grid Earth Sheltered Housing and ECO-PODS and alternates Thinking Outside The Box. I'm presently building several types of these units on a lot behind my present home. Earth Sheltered Container with Solar Passive and other off grid accessories like Solar Cooking, Parabolic Mirror from 10' and a 6' satellite dish, and implementation of many other things. Much going on that I should be sharing with all who are interested. I have always used Solar Passive and mass in my Earth Sheltered Homes… 2' of earth over top and southern exposure and back in 1979-80 installed fire places with plenum circulation and/or heat stoves for homes… NOT NEEDED… and owners couldn't use due to no need and overheating home. The homes have not used heat or cooling sense built in 79 and 80… houses paid from themselves via savings.
I live in Winston-Salem, NC and doing off grid ECO-PODS on back lot from Earth Sheltered Container, and Oldcastle 8' ID storm culverts and and implementing many OFF GRID devices but mostly the Solar Passive Designs. http://earthshelteredconsultants.us being rebuilt but you can check it out if you like.
Susan, please email me at email@example.com and I will share my information with you. My wife and I welcome visitors. ........Neil
Neil: I am from the mountains of NC and now live in east TN. We are planning an off the grid cabin. I would love to see an Earthship up close and ask you questions. Do you allow individuals to come see your house? If so, when and where are you located exactly? Would love to know also how an Earthship stands up to more moisture than they experience in the desert. Do you know of any workshops around that teach Earthship (or other types of) building techniques? Where did you learn? Thanks for any info you can give........Susan
Jan, there is a large variety of earthship designs including duplex, they will soon be building one in NYC.you dont find them in cities much because of the strict codes. I interned on a recent earthship build in wyoming, its 1600sqf of living space. Also they are totally off grid, with zero emissions.
No slight intended to Reynolds, whom I greatly admire, but one problem with Earthships is that they are basically single-family homes. In the movie "Garbage Warrior," you can see them scattered across the landscape like sand tossed on a mirror -- and each with 1.8 cars in the driveway. To minimize our impact on the greater environment, to maximize farmland, and to minimize auto travel, dwellings need to be clustered. I'd love to see Reynolds incorporate some of Alexander's low-numbered patterns into his developments, instead of breaking up tracts into one-acre squares and plopping a house -- Earthship, or whatever -- in the middle of each plot. It would be great to see the Earthship concept be used in a multi-family dwelling.
We are currently about 70% done with building our earthship in the mountains of NC. We are finishing out the inside now. It is awesome! Warm in winter and cool in the summer. We combined the best of Michael's early design and his new vertical glass design and it has worked out well. We are very pleased and hope to be living in it by this time next year. Just today we had 20 high school students visit for a tour with their teacher. I highly recommend earthships.
My sister works for Mike and lives in an earthship. I helped build the first part of their house. There are tons of pictures and lots of info at www.earthship.org
I'm happy to see people are interested! Most of your questions can be answered at www.earthship.net.
What a neat-looking house! This reminds me of the fascinating Khalili earth-bag houses (calearth.org). Does anyone know how much these earthships cost to build?? ~The Herbangardener~ Kitchen/Garden/Sanctuary - Urban Homesteading to Nourish Body + Spirit www.herbangardener.com
There's an EarthShip being built just south of Tampa, Florida by Eco-Tech Construction. Put earthshipflorida into a search engine to see how these homes can be appropriate for any climate. http://earthshipfloridaproject.com/index.html
I believe I also saw one of his earthships up in Crestone Colorado, when visiting an Ashram several years ago. The concept is wonderful and I would like to see more pictures of the inside of one of his buildings, especially with the bottles! Hope there is a longer article coming in a Mother Earth News issue soon. Keep up the good work. Couldn't make it without you!!!
I live in New Mexico and have seen the Earth Ships from the road in Taos when I have been up there. They do not look bad they are quite intresting to see. I at this point am trying to find information on how to bulid on myself, that is what we want to bulid when my husband retires. I like the idea they are self sustaining and pretty much off the grid.

How is `Kindle` like cuttlefish
In a new study, researchers have examined parallels between e-Paper technology – the technology behind sunlight-readable devices like the Kindle – and biological organisms that change colour.business Updated: Sep 27, 2012 18:02 IST
In a new study, researchers have examined parallels between e-Paper technology – the technology behind sunlight-readable devices like the Kindle – and biological organisms that change colour.
Over millions of years, biological organisms – from the chameleon and cuttlefish to the octopus and squid – have developed colour-changing abilities for adaptive concealment and communication signalling like warning or mating cues.
Over the past two decades, humans have begun to develop sophisticated e-Paper technology in electronic devices that reflect and draw upon the ambient light around you to create multiple colours, contrast and diffusion to communicate text and images.
And given the more than 100 million years head start that evolution has provided to these animals and their cellular systems, it's not surprising that e-Paper devices lag behind in optical performance, especially colour generation.
In an effort to close that gap, a multidisciplinary team led by University of Cincinnati researchers aims to help biologists who work with these colour-changing creatures and engineers who work with e-Paper technology.
"Our main goals were threefold: To allow display engineers to learn from millions of years of natural selection and evolution. To teach biologists the most advanced mechanisms and performance measurements used in human-made reflective e-Paper and to give all scientists a clearer picture of the long-term prospects for capabilities such as adaptive concealment and what can be learned from now you see me, now you don't mechanisms," Eric Kreit, co-author of the study, said.
One of the researchers' key findings is that there are numerous approaches to change the reflective colour of a surface and that the highest-performance approaches developed by both humans and nature share some powerful common features.
Both use pigment, and both change or achieve colour expression by either spreading or compacting that pigment. Animals use muscle fibre to spread or compact pigment, and electronics make use of an electric field to do so.
However, even if the basic approach for colour change is similar, humanity has never developed anything as complex or sophisticated as the biology and physics of cephalopod skin.
"The highest performance human-made approaches have been only recently developed, well after numerous other approaches were tried. Perhaps in the past, if we had more closely trusted nature's ability to find the best solution, we would be further along today in creating better display technology," Jason Heikenfeld said.
Biological organisms that change colour are very efficient at using available light. The animal's skin either reflects light to achieve a bright-colour effect or absorbs light to achieve stunning, multi-coloured effects.
In their use of available light, the biological organisms are more efficient than electronic devices, which generally require large amounts of electric power to generate an internal or emissive light to generate bright colour.
Human-developed technology is far superior to cephalopods or other colour-adapting animals when it comes to speed. In other words, human-made electronics can achieve colour and a colour change faster than the response time of a biological organism.
In addition, synthetic devices can provide a greater range of colours and more efficient dark or black state. In other words, a device can achieve a black screen, but most biological organisms cannot achieve such darkened colouring.
This is, in part, due to the fact that an organism like a marine animal generally has no reason, in terms of survival adaptation or signalling, to go to a dark or black state. Such an adaptation would actually make them more visible, not less, to predators.
The study has been published online in The Journal of The Royal Society Interface.

Etihad Airways roars into F1
Etihad Airways is to be a main sponsor for the Spyker Formula One Grand Prix racing team. The airline's chief executive officer James Hogan today signed a three-year partnership with the Spyker Formula One team in Melbourne.
The Spyker Formula One team announced that Aldar, Abu Dhabi's leading integrated property development company, will also be a main sponsor.
Mr Hogan explained that Formula 1 is a complete global platform with a vast television following and that securing a title sponsorship with one of the 11 teams will launch the airline to a completely new level of consumer awareness, especially ahead of Abu Dhabi hosting a Grand Prix for the first time in 2009.
He said: "Spyker is a small team determined to make a big mark in Formula 1 and all of us at Etihad are excited at the prospect of seeing Christian Albers and Adrian Sutil wear our livery and drive in the Etihad Aldar Spyker team this season".
Colin Kolles, Etihad Aldar Spyker's team principal and managing director, said the partnership marks the start of a new era for the team and guarantees stability and financial security for the coming years.
"We are proud to be associated with Etihad, one of Abu Dhabi's major brands, a company that has shown a determination and desire to succeed in its industry sector. This drive matches Spyker's philosophy and brand values perfectly and I hope we will both continue to progress together for many years."
Both Etihad Airways and Aldar logos will have primary branding on the team's cars from Australia onwards, and on team clothing and driver overalls from the Malaysian Grand Prix at the beginning of April.
Etihad's involvement becomes the latest high-profile sports sponsorship for the airline, and complements existing commitments to the Abu Dhabi Golf Championships, F1 Powerboat racing and Al Jazira Sports Club.

I Like my Prof!! -Jamesy (with commentary by nybar)
I watch mogel, cooking ramen, oh poor mogel, he does not know the joy of
learning.. He says I am dumb, and yet I know that I am better then him..
My professor tells me that I am better then him... Ahh my professor, I
like to kiss his ass (editors note: ahhhhhh....) Lick it, lick it..
yumyum, my professor likes me to lick his ass, he tells me I am his best
student, and well versed in kant, also. (editors note: you fag) I watch
nybar writing his lame `zine. I tried to read it, but simply could not
get through the first issue. My prof tells me it has no literary value.
(editors note: ewww.. your prof says... eww.. lamer.) I watch nybar, yes,
and I think I am better then him. Much better then him. My professor says
that I am better then him (editors note; hmmm... no.) And now I am off to
the mystical journey of the soul.
This next story, is real. The names were changed to protect the stupid.
Nybart and Shadow-Gao - by Nybar

that one. Aww mann.. he really stuck it to me. Actually this is just him
pretending to be me right now. I really didn't think he'd fire me. Just
because he says I was lazy and was the "Poupey Teamster" Nybar "Oh man I

Remember? Argh, it's in that froboy issue of poupey.. ahh.. which one was
it... ohh it was something like 8-12.. erghhh... ok who cares anyway find
it on: www.voicenet.com/~poupey Anyway, this is his contiued story. he
wanted to be one of those preparatory chef guys.. kinda like.. oh shit
it's on FIREEE!$!@$@!#$@!#$!@$!#@$ DAMN BEING ROBBED! (looks at two scary
daemons and an old dwarf on a donky. Yells at the donky: STOP ROBBING
THOSE NICE DAEMONS! and slaps the old ass on the ass! haha! get it?!) ok,
as I wuz saying, he wanted to be one of those guys who prepares stuff for
the cooks, right? So that cheese grating job was just like a bouncer pad
to a better job! He wanted a better job, so of course he did the most
silly and irrational thing out there, went to missouria. Now he gets to
prepare ham sandiches for stupid people like farmer ted. Farmer Zed wanted
to go (farmer ted, ned, led, bed, wed, ped, oed, aed, and farmed ked are
his family in misery, but I needed him here so I cut off his feet so he
couldn't go.) Ah, and thats it. Oh, and jubjub is still fired.
This is the tale of the great cow rebellion. It's inspired by, oh no room
The great, COW RRRRREBELLION! SZEITGEIST! Chapter 1 -Nybar
Bessie the cow was never a quite contrary cow. Downright practical she was
downright practical. But this cow had baddd blood in her somewhere and she
got it into her mind that she could use the devils magic bullets.. err
wait wrong story.. I mean she got it into her mind that she didn't need to
follow the word of the human slavemaster. So, when the farmer, in the
morning, called to all the cows to show their faith to the humans and moo
to him, she remained silent.
This is how it went: Farmer Led (in a cloak and with flight goggles): "MOO
FOR ME! MOOOOO FOR MEE!@#$!#$ AHH!@$" *all the cows but bessie moo*
"Everyone! EVVVVVERYYYYONNNNNEEEEEE!@#!#@$@!#$" but meanwhile bessie had
quickly circulated through the grapevine that they need not moo.
BLASPHEMY! It was what these enslaved cows needed to hear! Instead of
mooing and kneeling on four feet, bessie STOOD! STOOD! THE SIGN OF
She waited for the others. Some hesitated, and she shrieked "FOR
FREEDOMMMMMM!@$!@$!#@" they all stood. She SPEWED her nights milk ALL OVER
farmed led!@$!$ BWAHAHAHA!@$#!@$!#$ So did the others! Now that they did
not require that they be milked, they were FREE from vile humans! The
others discharged thier milk cannons until Farmed Led was dead. Ashes to
ashes.. and stuff. She picked a pretty flower and put it in her ear, then
chewed on some grass. The flower was a symbol of freedom.. and ahh.. the
grass.. um.. she ate that because she was kinda hungry. After
congratulations on a job well done, she and her fellows worked in shifts
eating, drinking (so they would have ammo) and preparing the defense, for
the inevitable counter attack by their oppressors.
And now for a story I wrote a while ago but didn't get released.
Jubjub the Iguana in, The Reluctant Pubic hair(s). -Nybar
My brother jubjub; The iguana; once felt uneasy. He looked down
on himself pissing and found nothing there but a hairless
abomination. But then one day, he saw a small, hairy protrusion
coming from below the left nut. He said "I love you little pubic
hair, I shall name you; FRED: Pubic hair of DESTINY.
Jubjub "Fred, meet your neighbor, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Johnson.. meet
Mr.Johnson "Hi fred!!"
Jubjub "Fred, meet Ballz, Da Warez King and Queen. Pretty soon
your brothers and sisters will be covering them."
Ballz "Hey fred! Phear! Ewheat 0-day k-rad warez in da house
Fred "Hi ballz! Mr. Johnson! I just KNOW yer gonna love what I
do to the place."

The Great Cow Rebellion, Chapter 2. -Nybar
The counterattack came, and then it came again. Several farmers had been
mortally wounded.. but OH.. not enough.. even with the arrival with cows
from several more farms, Bessie's forces were weakening. Only one more
onslaught would finish them. She perked up her large cow ears... and heard
the rumble. The inevitable onslaught was coming. Her forces stood, gaunt,
hard from the 24 hours of defence. Dry, from stream after stream of holy
purifying milk of freedom. They stood. The rumble came closer. Still, they
stood stock still, on two feet to show that they could stand up to their
oppressors. Some held pitchforks, captured from their oppressors. The
rumble was upon them!!#$!@#$ They all tensed up, and saw a great force
lead by one of the evil humans. A much greater force then they thought the
farmers could have mustered. Perhaps.. but there was no time. The obvious
leader, who lead the way which looked like a sword, and yet not a sword,
called a halt. He stepped calmly forward, and lowered his sword, which
Bessie could see to be a detachable sword-cane. He said "I come in peace,
and bring reinforcements from the north east! They are not many, but among
them are two hundred and twenty agile cats and four hundred cows, to
re-inforce your sadly meage number. I have heard of your cause and have
nothing but sympathy! Also among my forces are one hundred and sixty duck
riders, ready with bills tipped with steel nubbins. We shall surely smite
our enemies." Bessie, speaking truthfully, bubbled "My heart is filled."
Nybar said "Come, we shall rest for the night, and then, COUNTER

- Windows ReFS
- Windows DFS
- Storage Spaces Direct
- Storage Replica
- Storage QoS
- Volume Shadowcopy Services
- Windows Volume Mgmt.
- Deduplication
- Windows System state
- Defragmentation
- Removable Storage System
The first thing to note is that you cannot defragment file system volumes that are not NTFS, Fat or Fat32.
When a Windows operating system is first installed on a disk and then applications are added, all the files are contiguous and arranged in the optimal place on the disk for performance. This means that the read-write heads do not need to move much to read a single file. A file is fragmented when it is not contiguous, but is split up into pieces in various parts of the disk. Now the read-write heads have to move back and forward over the disk to read the whole file. This takes time, and causes 'seek delay' performance problems.
When a file is updated, it usually needs space to grow. The NTFS file system leaves space before and after a file, to allow it a bit of room to grow without causing fragmentation. Microsoft initially thought that this meant that the NTFS was fragmentation proof, and were so confident that they did not supply a defragmentation tool. However, this is not quite correct. The 'guard space' which NTFS leaves on either side of files is about 30% of the space used by the file, so once an NTFS partition hits the 70% full mark, the data has actually hit the end of the disk. When more new files are added, they will be allocated into the 'guard bands', and may well be fragmented.
Over time, as files are deleted and new files added, the free space becomes fragmented, so it is impossible to allocate a new file into a single space. Fragmentation and performance will get worse with time.
In the real world, performance does not die when partitions are loaded beyond 70%. This is probably due to a combination of the other NTFS performance features, and also that the big cache in RAID disks mask sequential access and seek problems (because the files are no longer allocated in nice contiguous chunks, but are split up and striped over several disks).
A defragmentation tool basically works by moving files around on the disk, so each file becomes consolidated into one contiguous extent, and to consolidate the freespace into a single contiguous extent for new allocations. This ideal cannot be achieved in practice, as some files cannot be moved.
Commercially available Disk defragmenter software is evolving so that instead of fixing fragmentation issues, it tries to prevent them from happening in the first place, using 'intelligent write' processes.
Files which cannot be moved with Windows active are
FAT directories
Change journal
and any other files open for exclusive use.
It is impossible to defragment any of the three files above using normal Windows defragmentation tools, you need a third party tool which works at boot time
Directories can also become fragmented; adding to the time it takes to access files. Windows 2000 directories on an NTFS disk can be defragmented while the operating system is running. However, FAT directories can only be defragmented at boot time.
Microsoft provided a system defragmenter tool from Windows 2000 onwards. It is based on the Diskeeper product described below. It has two functions, an analyze function to determine if a disk needs defragging, and the defragmentation function itself. Windows 7, 8 and 10 will run a scheduled weekly defrag automatically so there is no need to run one yourself. To run a defrag manually -
On Windows 7 and earlier, click Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Defragmenter; Select the volume that you want to check for fragmentation; Click Analyze and the message box will tell you if a defragment is necessary. If so, click Defragment.
On Windows 8, open a Search window by typing Windows+Q or swiping in from the right and opening the Search Charm and then search for 'Defragment'. Select the result 'Defragment and optimize your drives'.
On Windows 10, from the good old Start button, select 'Windows Administrative Tools', then 'Defragment and Optimise Drives', This will oped up a window which will tell you the optimisation state of all your drives and give you a chance to defragment them.
A few pointers -
Diskeeper is supplied by Condusiv Technologies, and in fact, the Microsoft defrag tool used Diskeeper code. So why would you buy a third party tool when
Microsoft provide one with the operating system?
Diskeeper defrags your directories at boot time, outside of the Windows OS, so allowing access to files that are normally reserved. In theory, this might mean the boot takes longer, but it can actually improve performance as files used by the boot process are optimised.
One Diskkeeper feature is InvisiTasking technology which allow you to run normal work while defragmentation occurs in the background. This can be set up to run automatically, and almost invisibly.
The IntelliWrite defragmentation routines intelligently write files to the disk to avoid 85 percent of files from ever getting fragmented. This keeps most drives in a continual fragmentation free state. Diskeeper 15 extnds this functionality to SAN disks. It cannot defrag SAN drives directly, but it will perform intelligent writes so SAN disks are always optimised.
Diskeeper can defragment the paging file and the MFT at boot time. It is also possible to schedule this for remote servers using remote boot. Diskeeper supports Windows 2008 and 2012 versions.
O&O Defrag has the usual defrag facilities, it can defrag systems files at boot time, and it will run in 'screen saver' mode to automatically defragment disks when a computer is not is use, with no negative performance impact on your systems. It integrates with Windows explorer to present a simple user interface. It will defragment an unlimited number of drives or partitions, and can defragment almost any type of disk including USB sticks, memory cards and RAID devices, with only about 5% free space needed for operation (the Windows defragmenter needs 15% free space).
O&O Defrag 19 supports Windows 10 and has the ability to optimise data access on SSD disks by telling the SSD to reuse space left by data that has been deleted.

However, I cant help but notice that some of you guys who are offering various services on here have missed a trick. Unless I'm mistaken I havent seen anyone on here posting services with regard to farming review of websites on all these services that allows customers to leave feedback. A fledging internet store could see huge increases in revenue with a bunch of steady reviews, as actually getting customers to leave good experience reviews is a pain!

I believe you can buy an RF-sensing preamp with either power up the coax or with external power and T/R control line. I do not like using RF sensing T/R switching since in CW or SSB the relays are constantly switching back an forth. Relays will fail faster this way. One can buy a plain preamp, run four-wire cable and use a coax relay to switch between Tx line and preamp. I prefer to run separate Tx and Rx coax lines to the shack, but you can add another coax relay between the preamp and your TS-2000 to use a common coax. Probably cheaper to buy the preamp with internal switching. Beware that some models only rated to 25w power. >The radio is a TS-2000x if that helps. I have a FT-847 so not enough familiar to advise on the TS-2000; both can power preamps thru the coax. Whatever your choice, mount the preamp at the antenna for best low-noise performance. At 144 MHz you might get away with the preamp in the shack; at 432 MHz you will sacrifice several dB of noise factor; at 2400 MHz you will hear little to nothing with a preamp and converter in the shack. 73, Ed - KL7UW ====================================== BP40IQ 50-MHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com 144-EME: FT-847, mgf-1801, 4x-xpol-20, 185w DUBUS Magazine USA Rep email@example.com ====================================== _______________________________________________ Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

A precept (from the Latin: præcipere, to teach) is a commandment, instruction, or order intended as an authoritative rule of action.
In religion, precepts are usually commands respecting moral conduct.
The term is encountered frequently in the Jewish and Christian Scriptures:
Thou hast commanded thy precepts to be kept diligently. O that my ways may be steadfast in keeping thy statutes!-- Psalm 119(118):4-5, RSV
The usage of precepts in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible corresponds with that of the Hebrew Bible. The Septuagint (Samuel Rengster edition) has Greek entolas, which, too, may be rendered with precepts.
Roman Catholic Canon law, which is based on Roman Law, makes a distinction between precept and law in Canon 49:
A singular precept is a decree which directly and legitimately enjoins a specific person or persons to do or omit something, especially in order to urge the observance of law.
In Catholicism, the "Commandments of the Church" may also be called "Precepts of the Church".
In Buddhism, the fundamental code of ethics is known as the Five Precepts (Pañcala in Sanskrit, or Pañcas?la in P?li), practiced by laypeople, either for a given period of time or for a lifetime. There are other levels of precepts, varying amongst traditions. In Theravadan tradition there are Eight Precepts, Ten Precepts, and the Patimokkha. Eight Precepts are a more rigorous practice for laypeople. Ten Precepts are the training rules for samaneras and samaneris, novice monks and nuns, respectively. The Patimokkha is the basic Theravada code of monastic discipline, consisting of 227 rules for monks, (bhikkhus) and 311 rules for nuns (bhikkhunis).[1]
In secular law, a precept is a command in writing; a species of writ issued from a court or other legal authority. It is now chiefly used of an order demanding payment (in the UK, for example, the term is applied by local precepting authorities as part of the Council Tax system). The Latin form praecipe (i.e., to enjoin, command) is used of the note of instructions delivered by a plaintiff or his lawyer to be filed by the officer of the court, giving the names of the plaintiff and defendant.[2]
Princeton University uses the term precept to describe what many other universities refer to as recitations: large classes are often divided into several smaller discussion sections called precepts, which are led by the professor or graduate teaching assistants. Precepts or recitations usually meet once a week to supplement the lectures and provide a venue for discussion of the course material.[3]

I saw that too, but I wonder if that's a bug or if it was an intentional release. I can't remember any other CE pet being released prior to the expansion.
Although the Digital Deluxe Edition option makes it possible for Blizzard to hand out the pet early, it seems a bit unfair for those that bought the box CE version of MoP since they can't redeem their gift yet.

Not an insignificant date this. On the 6th September 1941, Winston Churchill visited Bletchley Park. After a series of meetings, he stood on a boulder believed to be outside Hut 2 and addressed a group codebreakers and staff, congratulating them on their work. It was this visit, in particular Churchill's enthusiasm for the operation, that encouraged Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman and Edward Travis to directly write to him in October expressing their need for resources to expand operations. Churchill's reply to this memo was titled 'Action This Day' and saw Bletchley Park expand rapidly, making projects like Turing's Bombe and, later on, Colossus, a reality.
Today, 'Churchill's Stone', a memorial of that visit, stands directly opposite the entrance to the Mansion.

This goes on really nicely and the finish is great, but the colour is nothing like the picture. It is much pinker, which is a shame as the picture shows a lovely warm orangey red. The actual product has more blue undertones.

They say it's not the gift that counts, it's the thought behind it. But in my family, it's the wrapping. We observe an unspoken rule that we must disguise each gift so cleverly that the recipient can never guess what's inside the package.
My son Jon once stayed up late Christmas Eve creating a three-dimensional, construction-paper mouse, 15 inches tall, wearing a cowboy hat. Jon designed the mouse as a camouflage container for a heavy metal vise he gave his older brother, Dave. The package replicated the hero of a treasured childhood book, "The Mouse and the Motorcycle."
Dave and Jon grew up in the mountains of the Philippines, where my husband and I worked as Bible translators. We raised our family in a woven-bamboo house beside a logging road, far from TV or electric lights.
Every day the boys hurried through their home-school assignments and dashed outside to pick guavas or to spear fish in the river.
On birthdays, the brothers spent hours camouflaging a single gift. Often with their dad, they cut odd shapes out of cardboard and unwound miles of cellophane tape. They created false-bottom boxes. They weighted a package of stationery with stones. Once, they taped a necklace inside the wing of a paper airplane.
They worked far into the night, in total silence, intent on their separate projects. I went to bed fretting, wishing my sons would seize this chance to talk, to bond, and build rapport.
But no fretting for my sons. On they proceeded to The Art of the Invisible Tag. They cut a flower out of gift wrap and attached it so perfectly to a duplicate spot on the paper that you had to squint to find it.
The wrapping continued, and the silence, and my fretting.
Once, I almost joined the boys' club. Instead of mystery wrapping, I devised a mystery gift for mechanical Dave: a bundle of screws, bolts, and wires fished out of a radioman's wastebasket. On Christmas morning, Dave unwrapped it and asked, "What's it for?"
The gift didn't seem to work quite as well as I had planned.
The year Dave left for college, Jon presented me with a package made entirely from Lego blocks - including ribbon and bow. Designing it, Jon must have gone back in memory to when he and Dave slept under mosquito nets on palm-slat beds, each boy with fireflies in a bottle for a night light. By day, they built Lego castles (with hardly a word spoken) and battery-lit cable cars that ran along strings. When a trolley crashed and became Lego smithereens, they only laughed and dug in again.
Eventually, we all returned to America, to live in distant states, and I found something new to fret about. Would my sons keep in touch with each other?
During a recent Christmas, we finally found ourselves under the same roof again. Late into the night, I listened to Dave and Jon tell bilingual jokes from childhood and reminisce about their lack of success with spear fishing. At one point Dave said to me, "Mom, remember all those radio parts you gave me? I had so much fun inventing things with them - it was the best present I ever got."
My sons talked on, picking up threads of phone and e-mail conversations I didn't know they'd had. I began to see I'd been wrong to think they hadn't kept in touch. And, gradually, I began to understand something else: the closeness my sons had created during all those silent hours.
Looking on, listening in, fretting all the while, I thought it was just little plastic bricks they were connecting, just cardboard and paper they were gluing together. I thought it was just ribbons they were attaching, not family ties.
Now I saw they were building a relationship to last a lifetime.
Christmas ended, and my husband and I rode to the airport. Snow covered the ground, but memories of the holiday warmed my spirit. As I pictured my family around the tree, I realized that among the open packages, the bows, and crumpled papers scattered across the floor, I'd overlooked my real gift - the very one I'd wished for.
Now I saw it: my sons, close and connected. Communicating, in words and otherwise. What a clever disguise they had wrapped their brotherly bonds in: silence.
Once again, my sons had kept the family tradition, created a camouflaged package - and mystified Mom.

I am loving that last blue dress. Ive always felt the Lilly print is a little to busy for me, and their prices are not right in my case. But a couple of these items have me wishing the price tags were a little easier on the eyes. I hope you had a great weekend chick!ReplyDelete

All Critics (20) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (20) | Rotten (0) | DVD (5)
Directed, co- written and narrated by Scorsese, it's a deeply personal love letter to Italian cinema -- to his family, to the power of film to illuminate and change our lives.
All film epochs in other cultures should be so lucky to receive such a celebration.
Firmly establishes the brilliant filmmaker as invaluable an educator as he is a director.
Scorsese's exuberance as a die-hard movie buff is, as always, positively infectious.
Audience Reviews for My Voyage to Italy
I admire Martin Scorcese's dedication to film and acknowledgement of neo-realism's influence on his work. This review will introduce Italian cinema to a wider audience and increase appreciation even for the most dedicated cinephiles. While Scorcese's discussion covers the neo-realists (Rossellini, De Sica, Visconti, Fellini, Antonioni), it emphasizes Rossellini's work. Granted, Rossellini is the progenitor of the 'movement,' but this tribute spent half of its four hour duration on one director. Personally, I don't see 'Voyage to Italy' as the turning point for new cinematic opportunities. Visconti and Fellini were also pushing the boundaries in their works. Also, Antonioni's early neo-realistic work is not even mentioned. But, this is Scorcese's opinion and view of these milestone films, not mine. The purpose of this documentary is achieved ~ You are seduced and motivated to experience these amazing films in their entirety and form your own opinions.

Super Reviewer
Scorsese presents a fascinating documentary of his personal highlights of Italian cinema. Watching Scorsese talk about the first time he saw these films growing up in New York and the influence they have had on him is a joy. With the depth he goes into about these films and the amount of lengthy clips shown, you can feel his passion for these films and the eagerness he has to share them with today's generation of young film lovers. A new favourite of mine in the documentary genre, it's made me want to check out more work from the likes of Rossellini, Fellini and Antonioni.
