(CNN) -- Gareth Bale's imminent transfer to Real Madrid for a reported world-record fee has been criticized by Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino.
With Spain struggling amid a tough global economic climate, Martino questioned the appropriateness of Real spending on just one player a figure reputed to be at least $125 million and possibly as much as $145 million.
"He's a very good player, but the numbers seem to me almost a lack of respect for the world in general," the Argentine told reporters on Saturday at a press conference ahead of Barca's trip to Malaga.
Bale, who plays for English Premier League club Tottenham, is next week expected to be unveiled as Real's fifth world-record signing since 2000.
Read: Is Gareth Bale worth $120 million?
It will reportedly happen after Madrid, seeking to win back the La Liga title from Barca, play Granada on Monday in the club's second game this season.
Barca spent $75 million to sign Neymar from Santos in June, but Martino said the Brazil striker is not guaranteed to start Sunday's match in Malaga despite the absence of the injured Lionel Messi.
The four-time world player of the year is being rested as a precaution after suffering a bruised thigh in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico Madrid last Wednesday.
"Honestly, I am not worried because I think he is fine," Martino said of his compatriot.
"What happened the other day was coincidence. I think it is totally unnecessary to take risks at the start of the season."
Read: The transfer window explained
Neymar came off the bench to score the equalizer against Atletico, but Martino played down expectations surrounding the 21-year-old.
"I don't share this idea that says that Neymar must take over and take the lead if Messi is not there to do it," he said.
"We have Xavi, we have Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Alexis Sanchez, Pedro. There are too many players to expect Neymar to automatically be in the starting line-up.
"Nothing is going to shorten the time we think is necessary for Neymar to be ready."
Bale has reportedly already traveled to Spain, and will not play in Tottenham's home match with Swansea on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Wales international, who became the most sought-after talent on the planet following Neymar's decision to join Barca, also missed the London club's opening match of the EPL season last weekend.
Read: Turkish respite for Arsenal
Spurs have twice broken their club transfer record in apparent preparation for Bale's departure, signing Brazil midfielder Paulinho and Spain striker Roberto Soldado, while a $45 million deal for Willian was hijacked by Chelsea despite the Anzhi Makhachkala player having passed a medical at White Hart Lane last week.
In Saturday's EPL action, Liverpool joined Chelsea on two wins from two games after beating Aston Villa 1-0, as striker Daniel Sturridge followed up his goal from the opening victory over Stoke.
Arsenal, beaten by Villa last weekend, relieved the pressure on manager Arsene Wenger by defeating London rivals Fulham 3-1 as Germany forward Lukas Podolski scored twice and France striker Olivier Giroud netted the other for the visiting team.
Former Villa and England striker Darren Bent marked his Fulham debut with a goal after coming on as a second-half substitute, but Arsenal notched another morale-boosting win ahead of the second leg of the Champions League qualifier against Fenerbahce -- having won 3-0 in Turkey last Wednesday.
Everton drew 0-0 at home to West Brom, and there was also a stalemate between Newcastle and West Ham, while Southampton hit back to hold visiting Sunderland 1-1.
Hull beat Norwich 1-0 but fellow promoted side Crystal Palace crashed to a second successive defeat, losing 2-1 at Stoke.
In La Liga, Valencia crashed 3-1 at Espanyol despite taking the lead through Portuguese forward Helder Postiga.
David Lopez headed a 33rd-minute equalizer before second-half goals from Cristian Stuani and Thievy Bifouma sealed victory for the Barcelona-based team.
Real Sociedad came back to earth with a bump following last week's 2-0 win over Lyon in the final Champions League qualifying round, being held 1-1 at promoted Elche.
Mexico striker Carlos Vela saved Sociedad with a second-half leveler following Ferran Corominas' second-minute opener.

The only possible wear on it would be the wear from it sitting in my room and collecting dust. The rubber coating around the hose has no chips or dings at all. Also all the metal fixations are in great condition, no damage what so ever and all the o-rings are like new out of the box. Also its worth noting that the on/off action is still smooth as can be. Price wise I am looking to get 35-40 bucks out of it. I am willing to adjust the price if needed. I am looking to buy a custom products on/off direct mount asa in matte black so if you have one I would be willing to trade it.

On baseball's Opening Day in 1997, Chris Snopek got the start at third base for the Chicago White Sox against the Toronto Blue Jays. Nearly 17 years later to the day, he remembers the setting well.
"I was blessed to have that opportunity," Snopek said. "It was awesome. We opened in the Toronto SkyDome playing against Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar and those guys. It was pretty intense."
A three-year Ole Miss letterman from 1990-92, Snopek became the 10th All-American in school history when Baseball America made him a third-team choice in 1992, having hit at a .407 clip for the season, setting then-school records with 21 doubles and 62 RBIs.
Snopek, now a facility director and baseball instructor of P360 Sports, a performance sports complex based in Ridgeland, Miss., recounts playing for coach Jake Gibbs and coach Don Kessinger, and lessons learned from his time in Oxford.
"I learned the value of working hard," Snopek said. "Going to Ole Miss, I only knew the freshman guys on the baseball team. I learned how to earn respect and how to adapt, having played at Ole Miss in the SEC - and the perseverance of working day in and day out - to constantly work on your craft."
Following his successful junior campaign in 1992, Snopek was selected in the sixth round of the MLB Draft by the White Sox. During the 1993 and 1994 seasons, Snopek made minor league stops in South Bend, Ind., Sarasota, Fla., and most notably Birmingham, Ala., where he was teammates with basketball legend Michael Jordan.
"It was a circus-like atmosphere with all the media following us," said Snopek of the 1994 season in Birmingham. "As minor league players, we did not have access to that until he got there. He brought a lot of attention to the team, which gave us a platform to show our skills as players. It put me on pace to get to the big leagues and opened a lot of doors for me."
A year later, that door opened, and Snopek made his major league debut with the White Sox on July 31, 1995. As a rookie, he hit a career-best .324 with a home run and seven RBIs in 22 games. He went on to play 207 games over four seasons in the major leagues with the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox.
He credits his defense and ability to hit for making it to, and staying in the major leagues, but looking back, he sees another area where he could have improved.
"Before I got to the big leagues, I hit about .300. In the big leagues, I hit .300 the first year. But I did not adapt well as being a utility guy. If I could go back, I would have taken more time and learned how to play every couple of days, like Seth Smith who does so well as a pinch-hitter."
One of the most prolific hitters in Ole Miss baseball history, Snopek remains close with his former teammates and the program with Oxford just a short 2.5-hour drive away.
"Living in Jackson, you get access to all the local material," Snopek said. "We try to get back to Oxford three to four times a year. We follow Ole Miss closely, and we're still big supporters of them.
"It's become a national brand, instead of just a Southeast brand," Snopek said. "It's a top-30, top-40 school, as far as all athletes. In baseball, it's a top-15, top-20 school, which is pretty good relative to other schools out there. It's a credit to Coach Bianco, Coach Freeze, Coach Kennedy and really Ross Bjork as athletics director."

This course is fun. It takes me on average about 40 minutes to complete. Even though the park is small, you can get a decent workout while navigating the terrain. Basket 8 is the most interesting to me. You throw from one hill over a valley towards another hill where the basket is located. I would like to see tee pads in the future.
+0 votes tyler smith › July 13, 2012
There are a lot of things I like about this course: it's close to my house, it's generally pretty quiet, the holes are mostly pretty short (which is good, because my drive is weak!), the tee-offs have good maps, and there are a couple of good opportunities for birdies in the 9 holes. I'm pretty used to the layout, but it can be confusing for the first-timer, since there is little indication given at the basket about how to get to the next tee (though if you remember to check, there is a little arrow given on the map at the tee-offs).

Could be a nice course, but I found no maps or signs. Lots of technical holes.

Why Are There All These Socks?
You can't slide around on all fours across the kitchen floor unless you have socks on your hands and feet. Duh.

Just tell them to dust the skirting boards as the go! (And anything else that looks dusty too.) I wouldn't mind washing the socks if I didn't have to do the dusting.

Oh my goodness. I'm glad Clay is your kid and not mine. I know you tell of his antics all the time, but he has the cutest little face. How can you get mad at that?!
I know I'll learn. I have an almost 2 year old girl who infuriates or frustrates me to my whit's end every waking hour, but I'm currently in love with my 4 month old little boy who I cannot imagine will ever get into trouble. I guess I'm in nursing-hormone dreamland...you think?

That looks SO fun! I remember doing that as a kid, too.

Hey, at least they put the socks in the laundry when they're done, and not hiding them around the house for you to find at inopportune moments! Here's to creativity...

You need to get the kids some microfiber dusting socks and mitts so they have fun while cleaning the floor...then you can send them over to my house anytime :)
- July 25, 2008 at 8:13 AM
Who says Summer fun only comes from over priced Amusement Park tickets, constant trips to Toys R Us, or (eek!) camping in the sticks? Really, kudos to your kiddies for finding free entertainment with OUT prompting! When they're finished cleaning your floors, I happen to have hardwood throughout the house... LOL.
- July 25, 2008 at 8:52 AM
I just put up a post about socks, and the strangest place I have found them so far.
Hope you don't mind, I also put a link to your site.........let me know if its a problem and I'll take it down.

silly silly me -- I thought maybe your kids were "finding" socks in the furniture and under the beds and dressers and actually -- ACTUALLY -- putting them, in pairs, in the hamper... I really should drink more coffee before I start reading these blogs!
... my children always used my tea towels to "skate" on... you know, cuz they were already in the kitchen and their bedrooms were SO FAR away

Send them to my house and I'll spray a little pledge on their socks and let them buff my wood floors! Wonderful idea!

I thought maybe your dryer was coughing up the ones it ate throughout the school year! :)
- July 25, 2008 at 11:43 AM
The kids are dusting the floors for you and you're complaining?
Pack them up and send to me. You don't have to pack socks.
it worth me to supply them o get professional floor polishers free service.
- July 25, 2008 at 7:42 PM
I think it's pretty smart that they put the socks on upside-down so the gripping part wouldn't impede the fun!
- July 25, 2008 at 8:12 PM
- Rhen @yestheyareallmine said...
Love it! Maybe they could do a little dusting while they have those socks on their hands. It is never too early to multi-task!!! :)

I don't think she wore this because she liked it or bc she felt comfy in it. She knew ppl would talk about it. That's nothing to do with having a sense of style.ReplyDelete
Great skirt!ReplyDelete
My thoughts are exactly those of the 1st anonymous commentator. There's way too much thought in it!ReplyDelete
Love this look!ReplyDelete

not so much convinced about it ... nope .. one must have quite some self confidence to walk half naked on the street .. in WINTER !!ReplyDelete
This is amazing look!!!ReplyDelete
I have seen the look on the Fashion Week and found him amazing. But I guess the 1st anonymous commentator is not entirely wrong.ReplyDelete

sorry but this chick just wanted the attention!ReplyDelete
there's nothing wrong about that.. if you want to freeze your ass of.
That must be freezing could but what sacrifices we do for fashion... I LOVE her look! Very Scandinavian, no?ReplyDelete
For sure she wanted the attention. Don't we all want it? I think that the look it's lovely!ReplyDelete
Last summer I saw an old lady with ivory lace trousers on a museum exhibition opening and I thought no one else in the world thought that look could work out. Aparently she was not alone! I like the "underwear", though!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous16 May 2011 at 21:11
wearing outfits that make people talk about them doesn't contradict with having a sense of style at all.ReplyDelete
In my opinion, this look is kinda ugly but everybody thinks differently about fashion. But I just can agree with the first comment, she was just seeking attention, I guess. I don't really think that she liked that outfit and felt comfy in it!!!ReplyDelete

Bordering Downtown Seattle is the historic neighborhood of Pioneer Square. To take advantage of the extremely warm and sunny weather, the H and I decided to explore this beautifully-restored district on foot, as it was just about 12 blocks away from our hotel.
One of the pluses to walking around town is being able to discover many new and interesting sights along the way. On our way to Pioneer Square, we passed by this really neat park across the street from the Westlake Mall that had trees painted in bright blue! Eye-catching, right? 🙂
We saw a chess game in progress as well…
We also saw this massive glass structure–it's pretty hard to ignore because it is one of the biggest and most modern buildings on the street. Apparently, it's the public library! Ganda diba, and very impressive! I'm really glad that despite the advancement of technology and its effects on bookstores, it seems that there will be a home for printed books in Seattle for a long time to come :).
On a side note, I was also drawn to this three-piece sculpture by Henry Moore called Vertebrae, right outside the library. I must say, I was really enjoying all the street art!
As we were nearing Pioneer Square, we passed by the Smith Tower. It was once the tallest building in Seattle's skyline. It's observation deck can still be accessed to this day, and offers beautiful, sweeping views of the Puget Sound.
Finally, when we arrived at our destination, we were greeted by the sight of this beautiful, century-old pergola.
Pioneer Square was horrifically damaged during the Great Fire of 1889, so many of the structures that are erected in the area today are a result of its re-building. In the 1970's, artists helped to further revitalize Pioneer Square, transforming it from what was once a place full of brothels, to an artist's haven. I guess that explains the abundance of public parks, outdoor art, and pedestrian-friendly streets :).
After getting our fill of photographs, the H and I decided to make our way back to the downtown area for some shopping! 🙂 This time, we decided to take a different route so we could see more of the streets and sights of Seattle.
We passed a bunch of interesting and beautiful shops, and we eventually walked past the Seattle Art Museum and its incredibly tall "Hammering Man" (his arm actually makes a pounding motion!). Apparently, he works all day, everyday, except Labor Day. Hahaha! Kidding aside, I was really impressed that Seattle seemed to have a very nice public museum, and a pretty big collection of outdoor art installations. Too bad we didn't have time to see most of them, nor the exhibits.
By this time, and after all the walking we'd done, the H and I were in dire need of something to cool us down. We wanted to sample some of the local treats, and were lucky to find an ice cream place right by Downtown!
After a heaping scoop of Molly Moon's Earl Grey and Chocolate Ice Cream for myself, and an affogatto for the H, we were ready to do some major credit card damage! Hahaha!
And that, pretty much, concluded our sightseeing tour of Seattle :). On to the shopping!!!

Sony signs up contactless data transfer partners
Wireless data transfers edge closer
Widespread adoption of ways to allow data to be transferred between gadgets without them touching each other has taken a step further. Some 15 manufacturers have agreed to push Sony's TransferJet technology.
Sony's TransferJet: move data between gadgets without wires
A world without wires has long been the dream of gadget lovers, and TransferJet essentially allows data to be wirelessly transferred from one device to another, at speeds of up to 560Mb/s through the 4.48GHz band of the spectrum.
In an attempt to push the standard forward, Canon, Eastman Kodak, Hitachi, JVC, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, Seiko Epson, Sony Ericsson and others have come together to form a consortium that will develop specifications to allow products to provide TransferJet and to ensure they're interoperable with other TransferJet devices. It'll also establish licensing schemes and administer use of the technology's logo.
The technology could, for example, allow you to move a video onto your TV from your mobile phone simply by putting the talker next to your telly, or within 30mm of it. Sony's already claimed that features to prevent "external data leakage" will be implemented into TransferJet gadgets.
Sony also previously said that, should transmission conditions deteriorate during a data transfer, TransferJet will automatically lower its data transmission rate to accommodate rather than cut out. The electronics giant has even claimed that the data transfer technology won't interference with other wireless systems.
TransferJet chips small enough to fit into a dongle have already been manufactured by Sony, but the first products featuring the technology aren't expected to appear until sometime next year.

How to get the best out of research collaboration
An OECD report outlines good practice for effective international research collaboration — but success can never be guaranteed.
One of the most promising aspects of the development scene in recent years has been the growing willingness of researchers, spurred by agencies such as the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, to collaborate across international boundaries to develop potential solutions to important scientific and social problems.
Initially, most of this international collaboration was between scientists in the developed world — who tend to have greater financial and technical resources — and those in developing countries who were often cast in the role of junior partners, allocated tasks such as data gathering or number crunching.
More recently, these partnerships have become more equal as scientists in developed countries have seen how local context affects their work, and developing countries have built up their own research capabilities. South–South research collaborations have also grown as developing countries have sought to strengthen their science base.
Last month, Mexico and Honduras announced an agreement on scientific exchanges — the latest in a rapidly growing list of collaborations that are producing scientific, social and even political benefits, helping to cement trade links, for example.
But there is still a long way to go until all such collaborations work smoothly and productively. Recent years have seen plans to boost research and development in the Islamic world fail to come to fruition. And in Africa, plans for a flagship network for postgraduate science training were held back last year by political infighting.
Too often, misunderstandings, unrealistic expectations, mismatched capabilities and excessive bureaucracy undermine steps to create effective partnerships. These obstacles can lead to frustration, wasted resources and missed opportunities.
Good practice
In a bid to increase the prospects for successful scientific collaboration, the Global Science Forum of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) last month published a report on opportunities, challenges and good practices in international research cooperation between developed and developing countries.
Based on the conclusions of a project initiated by the Japanese government in 2008 and culminating in a workshop held in South Africa last September, the report provides a valuable overview of good practice and provides concrete suggestions for improving collaboration.
The report distils a wide set of practical experiences (both successes and failures). It is based on broad consultation with scientific and development agencies, although admittedly most were based in developed countries.
Much of what the report outlines will be familiar to those already engaged in collaborative activity. For example, it sets out the criteria that should be used to select potential partners, and how potential collaborators must weigh up their goals.
Equally important is the contribution that collaborations can make to building research capacity. This is often the most important long-term impact of collaborative programmes sponsored by development agencies.
The report emphasises the need to achieve "an optimal balance between the imperatives of research (bottom-up initiatives, peer review, etc.) with top-down strategic development priorities".
And it points out that any potential collaboration needs to pay attention from the beginning both to the way that its results will be evaluated — whether in scientific or in social terms — and how they will be communicated to both policymakers and the general public.
Political support
But some of the proposals are less obvious — and just as important. For example, the report highlights the importance of a supporting policy environment for research collaboration, stressing the role governments can play in providing the type of backing that can cut through red tape and minimise bureaucracy.
At the same time, it warns of the dangers of relying on political backing, particularly in unstable situations where such patronage can disappear overnight with a change in government.
On a more positive note, participants at the South African workshop concluded that, in general, concerns about "asymmetry" in research collaborations between partners from developed and developing countries no longer reflect what happens in practice, as was highlighted some years ago in a report by the Swiss Commission for Research Partnerships with Developing Countries (KFPE).
"Rather, these collaborations bring together partners with distinct and complementary strengths," says the Global Science Forum report. "This finding challenges all stakeholders to develop ways of identifying the contributions in documents, reports, and evaluations of programmes and projects."
No guarantees
There is no simple formula to ensure success in research collaboration. What works in one situation — for example, a partnership between institutions with no government support from either side — may not work in another, where external support is essential.
Even political support can be a mixed blessing. Where it is based on genuine scientific opportunity, it can help in achieving success. But where political pressures lead to reluctant partners being shoehorned together without adequate resources, failure is inevitable.
The OECD report provides a valuable checklist of factors for researchers and administrators to consider before embarking on a collaborative project.
Success can never be guaranteed. Each project will have its own internal tensions and external pressures. But one thing is certain: the more such collaborative projects succeed, the greater will be the overall contribution of science to development.

2013 honda pilot Model Overview
After a big mid-cycle refresh last year that included a re-designed exterior, an upgraded interior, and improved fuel economy, the 2013 Honda Pilot soldiers on without many changes. Unlike many of its competitors, the 2013 Pilot has a single engine and transmission pairing – a 3.5-liter V-6 that makes 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is an available option. The 2013 Pilot is rated 18/25 mpg city/highway in front-drive form, and 17/24 mpg with all-wheel drive.
Back in 2011 we gathered the pre-refresh Honda Pilot 4WD Touring up with its three-row crossover competitors – namely the Chevrolet Traverse, Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Mazda CX-9, and Toyota Highlander. In our comparison test, the Pilot placed fifth, beating only the Ford Explorer. Though it placed near the bottom, the Pilot exhibited some positive traits. We said that the Pilot's engine sounded sporty and refined, while it handled like a Honda should. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to overcome the loud and noisy cabin and jarring ride.
For 2013 Honda has simplified the design of the Pilot's center stack, added a high-resolution 8-inch display, and made a rearview camera, Bluetooth, and three-zone climate control standard.
New for 2013
The 2013 Honda Pilot has a few new features added to its standard list of equipment. An 8-inch multi-function display mounted in the re-designed center stack is now standard, as is Bluetooth audio, three-zone climate control, and a back-up camera.

Return of the Rambling...
Really there's not much to say since not a whole lot been happening with me lately. I just been going to work like usual and playing games like Fire Emblem: Awakening & Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon during my off hours from work. Yeah, my life's kind of dull, but I can't complain really.
Hm...What should I talk about? Well, I guess I could mention I am working on some plans for the summer. The first plan is I am going to be trying to attend the Zelda Symphony since apparently it is in Pennsylvania and looks like it will be close enough for me to get there. So that should be fun trip for me, especially since I am probably going with my good friend (Assuming of course, he isn't in Florida that week visiting his grandmother.).
As for the other plan, there is a slight possibility that I might appear for a day again at BrickFair VA this year. Hopefully I'll actually say hello to people, if that actually does happen. *shrugs*
Outside of that stuff, I been thinking about writing a few entries here about my thoughts on some BIONICLE related stuff. No idea when that's going to happen though since I need to be in right mood to write them. I imagine it will be on weekend since those are my chiller days.
Oh, and I am going to try to maybe get a little review out for LEGO City: Undercover this month. Again, that will probably happen on the weekend since I have a lot more free time during those days.
Uh, that's about all I have to talk about really. I apologize if reading this entry was boring to you guys. Hopefully future entries this month will be more interesting. *shrugs* But anyway, it is getting late here, so I should probably hit the hay. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a good day. Night, BZPers.

What Is Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)?
July 23, 2014
What Is ART?
ART are medications that treat HIV. The drugs do not kill or cure the virus. However, when taken in combination they can prevent the growth of the virus. When the virus is slowed down, so is HIV disease. Antiretroviral drugs are referred to as ARV. Combination ARV therapy (cART) is referred to as highly active ART(HAART).
What Is the HIV Life Cycle?
There are several steps in the HIV life cycle. (See Fact Sheet 106 for a diagram.)
Approved ARV Drugs
Each type, or "class", of ARV drugs attacks HIV in a different way. The first class of anti-HIV drugs was the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (also called NRTIs or "nukes".) These drugs block step 4, where the HIV genetic material is used to create DNA from RNA. The following drugs in this class are used:
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, also called non-nukes or NNRTIs, also block step 4 but in a different way. Five have been approved:
Protease inhibitors or PIs block Step 10, where the raw material for new HIV virus is cut into specific pieces. Ten protease inhibitors are approved:
Entry inhibitors prevent HIV from entering a cell by blocking step 2 of the life cycle. Two drugs of this type have been approved:
HIV integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from inserting its genetic code into the human cell's code in step 5 of the life cycle. The two drugs of this type are:

Author Notes: This is not the most beautiful hors d'oeuvres – it emerges from the oven with a war-torn look, your casserole strewn with singed oil and blackened burned bits. But the abuse of the dish is all in the service of the feta, whose honey-slicked exterior turns to savory candy and whose interior softens to custard. Plus the recipe is such a breeze – it's a great hors d'oeuvre to include when you have a more ambitious meal to follow. If you can't find thyme honey – I couldn't – use a mild flavored honey like acacia and warm it with a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Use a dish that's just large enough to hold the cheese, otherwise the oil will pool on the open surfaces and could catch fire under your broiler. I'd serve the feta not with pita, but with a rustic cracker or thinly sliced country bread, toasted. —Amanda Hesser
Serves: 4 to 6
One 8-ounce slab Greek feta, blotted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Greek thyme honey, or other honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Greek-style pita bread, toasted and cut into wedges
Heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan lined with aluminum foil to help transfer the cheese to a plate after roasting. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Heat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush and then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately with pita wedges and, if desired, sliced heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables.

Template:Wikipedia Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components (typically disk drives or partitions thereof) into a logical unit. Depending the RAID implementation, this logical unit can be a file system or an additional transparent layer that can hold several partitions. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", depending on the level of redundancy and performance required. The RAID level chosen can thus prevent data loss in the event of a hard disk failure, increase performance or be a combination of both.
Despite redundancy implied by most RAID levels, RAID does not guarantee that data is safe. A RAID will not protect data if there is a fire, the computer is stolen or multiple hard drives fail at once. Furthermore, installing a system with RAID is a complex process that may destroy data.
There are many different levels of RAID, please find hereafter the most commonly used ones.
Standard RAID levels
- Uses striping to combine disks. Even though it does not provide redundancy, it is still considered RAID. It does, however, provide a big speed benefit. If the speed increase is worth the possibility of data loss (for swap partition for example), choose this RAID level. On a server, RAID 1 and RAID 5 arrays are more appropriate. The size of a RAID 0 array block device is the size of the smallest component partition times the number of component partitions.
- The most straightforward RAID level: straight mirroring. As with other RAID levels, it only makes sense if the partitions are on different physical disk drives. If one of those drives fails, the block device provided by the RAID array will continue to function as normal. The example will be using RAID 1 for everything except swap and temporary data. Please note that with a software implementation, the RAID 1 level is the only option for the boot partition, because bootloaders reading the boot partition do not understand RAID, but a RAID 1 component partition can be read as a normal partition. The size of a RAID 1 array block device is the size of the smallest component partition.
- Requires 3 or more physical drives, and provides the redundancy of RAID 1 combined with the speed and size benefits of RAID 0. RAID 5 uses striping, like RAID 0, but also stores parity blocks distributed across each member disk. In the event of a failed disk, these parity blocks are used to reconstruct the data on a replacement disk. RAID 5 can withstand the loss of one member disk.
- Note: RAID 5 is a common choice due to its combination of speed and data redundancy. The caveat is that if one drive were to fail before and that drive was replaced another drive failed too, all data will be lost.
Nested RAID levels
- Commonly referred to as RAID 10, is a nested RAID that combines two of the standard levels of RAID to gain performance and additional redundancy. It is the best alternative to RAID 5 when redundancy is crucial.

* Where n is standing for the number of dedicated disks.
The RAID devices can be managed in different ways:
- Software RAID
- This is the easier implementation as it does not rely on obscure proprietary firmware and software to be used. The array is managed by the operating system either by:
- Hardware RAID
- The array is directly managed by a dedicated hardware card installed in the PC to which the disks are directly connected. The RAID logic runs on an on-board processor independently of the host processor (CPU). Although this solution is independent of any operating system, the latter requires a driver in order to function properly with the hardware RAID controller. The RAID array can either be configured via an option rom interface or, depending on the manufacturer, with a dedicated application when the OS has been installed. The configuration is transparent for the Linux kernel: it doesn't see the disks separately.
- FakeRAID
- This type of RAID is properly called BIOS or Onboard RAID, but is falsely advertised as hardware RAID. The array is managed by pseudo-RAID controllers where the RAID logic is implemented in an option rom or in the firmware itself with a EFI SataDriver (in case of UEFI), but are not full hardware RAID controllers with all RAID features implemented. Therefore, this type of RAID is sometimes called FakeRAID. dmraid from the official repositories, will be used to deal with these controllers. Some FakeRAID controller examples: Intel Rapid Storage, JMicron JMB36x RAID ROM, AMD RAID, ASMedia 106x,...
Which type of RAID do I have?
Since software RAID is implemented by the user, the type of RAID is easily known to the user.
However, discerning between FakeRAID and true hardware RAID can be more difficult. As stated, manufacturers often incorrectly distinguish these two types of RAID and false advertising is always possible. The best solution in this instance is to run the
lspci command and looking through the output to find the RAID controller. Then do a search to see what information can be located about the RAID controller. True hardware RAID controller are often rather expensive (~$400+), so if someone customized the system, and it is very likely that choosing a hardware RAID setup made a very noticeable change in the computer's price.
Install mdadm which is used for administering pure software RAID using plain block devices: the underlying hardware does not provides any RAID logic, just a supply of disks. mdadm will work with any collection of block devices. Even if unusual. For example, one can thus make a RAID array from a collection of thumb drives.
Prepare the Devices
To prevent possible issues each device in the RAID should be securely wiped. If the device is being reused or re-purposed from an existing array, erase any old RAID configuration information:
# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/<drive>
or if a particular partition on a drive is to be deleted:
# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/<partition>
Create the Partition Table
It is highly recommended to pre-partition the disks to be used in the array. Since most RAID users are selecting HDDs >2 TB, GTP partition tables are required and recommended. Disks are easily partitioned using gptfdisk.
- After created, the partition type should be assigned hex code FD00.
- Creating partitions that are of the same size on each of the devices is preferred.
- A good tip is to leave approx 100 MB at the end of the device when partitioning. See below for rationale.
When replacing a failed disk of a RAID, the new disk has to be exactly the same size as the failed disk or bigger — otherwise the array recreation process will not work. Even hard drives of the same manufacturer and model can have small size differences. By leaving a little space at the end of the disk unallocated one can compensate for the size differences between drives, which makes choosing a replacement drive model easier. Therefore, it is good practice to leave about 100 MB of unallocated space at the end of the disk.
Build the Array
mdadm to build the array. Several examples are given below.
The following example shows building a 2 device RAID1 array:
# mdadm --create --verbose --level=1 --metadata=1.2 --chunk=64 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
The following examples shows building a 3 device RAID5 array:
# mdadm --create --verbose --level=5 --metadata=1.2 --chunk=256 --raid-devices=3 /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 --spare-devices=1 /dev/sde1
The array is created under the virtual device
/dev/mdX, assembled and ready to use (in degraded mode). One can directly start using it while mdadm resyncs the array in the background. It can take a long time to restore parity. Check the progress with:
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Assemble the Array
After built, default configuration file,
mdadm.conf needs to be updated like so:
# mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf
mdadm.conf file is written:
# mdadm --detail --scan >> /mnt/etc/mdadm.conf
Once the configuration file has been updated the array can be assembled using mdadm:
# mdadm --assemble --scan
Format the RAID Filesystem
The array can now be formatted like any other disk, just keep in mind that:
- Due to the large volume size not all filesystems are suited (see: File system limits).
- The filesystem should support growing and shrinking while online (see: File system features).
- One should calculate the correct stride and stripe-width for optimal performance.
Calculating the Stride and Stripe-width
Stride = (chunk size/block size).
Stripe-width = (# of physical data disks * stride).
Example 1. RAID1
Example formatting to ext4 with the correct stripe-width and stride:
- Hypothetical RAID1 array is composed of 2 physical disks.
- Chunk size is 64k.
- Block size is 4k.
Stride = (chunk size/block size). In this example, the math is (64/4) so the stride = 16.
Stripe-width = (# of physical data disks * stride). In this example, the math is (2*16) so the stripe-width = 32.
# mkfs.ext4 -v -L myarray -m 0.5 -b 4096 -E stride=16,stripe-width=32 /dev/md0
Example 2. RAID5
Example formatting to ext4 with the correct stripe-width and stride:
- Hypothetical RAID5 array is composed of 4 physical disks; 3 data discs and 1 parity disc.
- Chunk size is 256k.
- Block size is 4k.
Stride = (chunk size/block size). In this example, the math is 256/4) so the stride = 64.
Stripe-width = (# of physical data disks * stride). In this example, the math is (3*64) so the stripe-width = 192.
# mkfs.ext4 -v -L myarray -m 0.5 -b 4096 -E stride=64,stripe-width=192 /dev/md0
For more on stride and stripe-width, see: RAID Math.
Add to Kernel Image
mdadm_udev to the HOOKS section of the Mkinitcpio to add support for mdadm directly into the init image:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect block mdadm_udev filesystems usbinput fsck"
Be sure to regenerate the initramfs image (see Image creation and activation) after making the modification to the HOOKS array:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
Mounting from a Live CD
Users wanting to mount the RAID partition from a Live CD, use
# mdadm --assemble /dev/<disk1> /dev/<disk2> /dev/<disk3> /dev/<disk4>
RAID Maintenance
It is good practice to regularly run data scrubbing to check for and fix errors. Depending on the size/configuration of the array, a scrub may take multiple hours to complete.
To initiate a data scrub:
# echo check > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
The check operation scans the drives for bad sectors and automatically repairs them. If it finds good sectors that contain bad data (the data in a sector does not agree with what the data from another disk indicates that it should be, for example the parity block + the other data blocks would cause us to think that this data block is incorrect), then no action is taken, but the event is logged (see below). This "do nothing" allows admins to inspect the data in the sector and the data that would be produced by rebuilding the sectors from redundant information and pick the correct data to keep.
As with many tasks/items relating to mdadm, the status of the scrub can be queried by reading
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1] 3906778112 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU] [>....................] check = 4.0% (158288320/3906778112) finish=386.5min speed=161604K/sec bitmap: 0/30 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk
To stop a currently running data scrub safely:
# echo idle > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
When the scrub is complete, admins may check how many blocks (if any) have been flagged as bad:
# cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt
General Notes on Scrubbing
It is a good idea to set up a cron job as root to schedule a periodic scrub. See raid-checkAUR which can assist with this.
RAID1 and RAID10 Notes on Scrubbing
Due to the fact that RAID1 and RAID10 writes in the kernel are unbuffered, an array can have non-0 mismatch counts even when the array is healthy. These non-0 counts will only exist in transient data areas where they don't pose a problem. However, since we can't tell the difference between a non-0 count that is just in transient data or a non-0 count that signifies a real problem. This fact is a source of false positives for RAID1 and RAID10 arrays. It is however recommended to still scrub to catch and correct any bad sectors there might be in the devices.
Removing Devices from an Array
One can remove a device from the array after marking it as faulty:
# mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdxx
Now remove it from the array:
# mdadm -r /dev/md0 /dev/sdxx
Remove device permanently (for example, to use it individually from now on): Issue the two commands described above then:
# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdxx
Stop using an array:
- Umount target array
- Stop the array with:
mdadm --stop /dev/md0
- Repeat the three command described in the beginning of this section on each device.
- Remove the corresponding line from /etc/mdadm.conf
Adding a New Device to an Array
Adding new devices with mdadm can be done on a running system with the devices mounted. Partition the new device using the same layout as one of those already in the arrays as discussed above.
Assemble the RAID array if it is not already assembled:
# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
Add the new device the array:
# mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdc1
This should not take long for mdadm to do. Again, check the progress with:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Check that the device has been added with the command:
# mdadm --misc --detail /dev/md0
A simple one-liner that prints out the status of the RAID devices:
awk '/^md/ {printf "%s: ", $1}; /blocks/ {print $NF}' </proc/mdstat
md1: [UU] md0: [UU]
Watch mdstat
watch -t 'cat /proc/mdstat'
Or preferably using tmux
tmux split-window -l 12 "watch -t 'cat /proc/mdstat'"
Track IO with iotop
The iotop package displays the input/output stats for processes. Use this command to view the IO for raid threads.
iotop -a -p $(sed 's, , -p ,g' <<<`pgrep "_raid|_resync|jbd2"`)
Track IO with iostat
The iostat package displays the input/output statistics for devices and partitions.
iostat -dmy 1 /dev/md0 iostat -dmy 1 # all
Mailing on events
A smtp mail server (sendmail) or at least an email forwarder (ssmtp/msmtp) is required to accomplish this. Perhaps the most simplistic solution is to use dmaAUR which is very tiny (installs to 0.08 MiB) and requires no setup.
/etc/mdadm.conf defining the email address to which notifications will be received.
To test the configuration:
# mdadm --monitor --scan --test
When satisfied with the results, enable the mdadm daemon:
# systemctl enable mdadm.service
Alternative method
To avoid the installation of a smtp mail server or an email forwarder you can use the S-nail tool (don't forget to setup) already on your system.
Create a file named
/etc/mdadm_warning.sh with:
#!/bin/bash event=$1 device=$2 echo " " | /usr/bin/mailx -s "$event on $device" email@example.com
And give it execution permissions
chmod +x /etc/mdadm_warning.sh
Then add this to the mdadm.conf
PROGRAM /etc/mdadm_warning.sh
To test and enable use the same as in the previous method.
If you are getting error when you reboot about "invalid raid superblock magic" and you have additional hard drives other than the ones you installed to, check that your hard drive order is correct. During installation, your RAID devices may be hdd, hde and hdf, but during boot they may be hda, hdb and hdc. Adjust your kernel line accordingly. This is what happened to me anyway.
Start arrays read-only
When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may begin. To start read-only set the kernel module
md_mod parameter
start_ro. When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives.
mdadm -r before the first write request, or resync can be started without a write using
mdadm -w.
To set the parameter at boot, add
md_mod.start_ro=1 to your kernel line.
Or set it at module load time from
/etc/modprobe.d/ file or from directly from
echo 1 > /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro
Recovering from a broken or missing drive in the raid
You might get the above mentioned error also when one of the drives breaks for whatever reason. In that case you will have to force the raid to still turn on even with one disk short. Type this (change where needed):
# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --run
Now you should be able to mount it again with something like this (if you had it in fstab):
# mount /dev/md0
Now the raid should be working again and available to use, however with one disk short! So, to add that one disc partition it the way like described above in Prepare the device. Once that is done you can add the new disk to the raid by doing:
# mdadm --manage --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1
If you type:
# cat /proc/mdstat
you probably see that the raid is now active and rebuilding.
You also might want to update your configuration (see: #Update configuration file).
There are several tools for benchmarking a RAID. The most notable improvement is the speed increase when multiple threads are reading from the same RAID volume.
Tiobench specifically benchmarks these performance improvements by measuring fully-threaded I/O on the disk.
Bonnie++ tests database type access to one or more files, and creation, reading, and deleting of small files which can simulate the usage of programs such as Squid, INN, or Maildir format e-mail. The enclosed ZCAV program tests the performance of different zones of a hard drive without writing any data to the disk.
hdparm should NOT be used to benchmark a RAID, because it provides very inconsistent results.

Way back at the turn of the decade, at DAC 2009, Synopsys held kitchen-table style conversations in its booth about semiconductor and EDA technology and about the industry. The goal was to share knowledge in a casual, conversational format. The response was so positive it inspired us to find a way to make this type of conversation accessible to engineers everywhere on a regular basis.
The result was Conversation Central, a monthly audio podcast featuring conversations between hosts, Synopsys' Karen Bartleson and Yvette Huygen, and industry luminaries, academics, technologists, standards experts, members of the media, and business leaders. Since it was launched in 2010, guests have included winners of the Phil Kaufman award such as Pat Pistilli and Randall Bryant, IBM Fellow Bernie Meyerson, UC Berkeley's distinguished professor Jan Rabaey, founder of eSilicon Jack Harding, EE Times' Brian Fuller, and IEEE Standards Association President Steve Mills. Up-and-coming technologists such as Broadcom's mobile platforms engineer Manish Gajjar, AMD's verification engineer Paul Tobin, NVIDIA's design implementation manager John Busco, and Cavium's semiconductor engineer Brian Hunter have also participated. Each guest has provided unique insights on a range of subjects including time-to-market challenges of systems on chip, embedding chips in brains, experiences in the 2011 Japan earthquake, improving education and corporate giving.
Fast forward to 2012. Today everyone is trying to do more and do it faster, especially in the semiconductor industry. With that in mind, we're making updates to the format as we kick off season three of Conversation Central. This year, we'll be video recording our conversations for a more engaging audience experience, and shortening the shows to fifteen minutes to accelerate knowledge sharing. Audio podcasts will continue on iTunes for the "listen in your car" and "whenever/wherever" convenience.
To see the new format in action, watch the 2012 season premiere of Conversation Central's videocast featuring Jeff Ravencraft, president and COO of USB Implementers Forum.
In this episode, recorded at the Soup Freaks restaurant in San Francisco, Ravencraft explains that while USB has become a household word, there is an important engine behind USB that consumers never see. Says Ravencraft, "Consumers love USB because it's easy to use—it just works. From a standards side, the standards are open, you can download them from our site. We have certification compliance testing that we help the industry with, [and] we do a lot of education at the developer level so they can build technology that makes it easy for the consumer." He'll also share where he believes the future generation of USB will take us.
Get in on the conversation: Watch Conversation Central on YouTube or visit our show notes website. Go to the website and post your comments on this and other episodes, or suggest topics for future episodes. Send us email at email@example.com. Check back at the beginning of every month to join in on what the industry is talking about. Even easier, subscribe to Conversation Central via RSS or iTunes so you'll get every show delivered directly to you.

Grogan 8/25/2005 4:56:57 PMWell done Mary, this looks beautiful, I myself use microsoft picture publisher 8 but I think you've just converted me to photoshop, the images in your album look much more fluid if thats the correct word, is it photoshop followed by a number e,g,1,2,3, etc?
