The head of children's services in the London borough of Haringey is to be removed from her job
with immediate effect and the council's social services shaken up after a damning report into the
death of Baby P, the Children's Secretary Ed Balls.
p style=text-align: justify;Vrai coup de coeur pour ce film de Ray qui nen finit jamais de
mémerveiller. Une histoire pourtant dune belle simplicité: une femme indienne qui,
traditionnellement, nest pas censée travailler mais doit rester au foyer, décide
darrondir les fins de mois difficiles en allant bosser. En prime, elle a le courage de sinterposer
contre les injustices, quitte à en payer elle-même le prix. Son combat personnel et
professionnel est une telle leçon quon en reste, dune part, baba et, dautre part, on finit
presque par se demander si, aujourdhui, beaucoup de personnes auraient autant ce sens du sacrifice
dans la tourmente économique...nbsp; /p p style=text-align: center;a

étonnant réalisme, Ray nous bouleverse avec la trajectoire de cette femme qui impose
peu à peu ses opinions, tout en cherchant à ne jamais blesser les siens. La

la main est dune densité éblouissante. Son beau-père, empêtré
dans ses traditions (nacceptant point laide financière de sa belle-fille mais prêt
à mettre sa fierté personnelle au rencard), est beaucoup plus pathétique: il
fait la tournée de ses anciens élèves pour leur demander un service gratos,

I inadvertently went afoul of Apple's submission policy by submitting the contents of a bug report
to the forums (apparently you can't do that).
I've reposted the full post here (I'm hopeful it might be useful to other with similar issues).
My personal opinion is that much of the "preparing to backup" issues are related to 2 things.
1) Very slow transfer speeds between computers and the TC. Specifically wireless network transfer
is very slow. There is something seriously wrong here. It doesn't appear to be universal (in fact I
myself had it working fairly well for over a month). I wonder if we can't figure out the
combination of factors that lead to poor performance. I tried a number of things (see below), but I
wasn't able to get at a root cause. restarting (physically taking power from the TC) seems to help
for a while.
2) A backup algorithm that reads enormous amounts of data over the wireless network (from TC to
Computer). (for example in one case I read 2.5 gigabytes of data in order to determine we needed to
back up 18 megabytes)
Eventually I gave up on wireless, and ran a 1000baseT network cable to my iMac -- Time machine
seems to be working just fine now.
The combination of these things leads many users to hours of frustration.
If anyone out there with a bit more network savvy than me can confirm theses findings (and perhaps
indicate what the heck time machine is doing while it is preparing to backup), maybe we can file a
few more reports for the engineering team to look at.
(While writing this, I noticed my 18 megabyte backup had "finished" -- That is, had gotten to 18
out of 18 megabytes, but is still processing. While "still processing" it has transferred another
300 megabytes of data from the TC to the computer)
One other interesting fact -- I did all the testing of time machine with spotlight turned off (that
is the main hard drive excluded from spotlight). After I got it working directly connected to the
mac (not over wireless), I re-enabled spotlight.
While it was re-building it's index, I noticed a rather significant amount of network traffic. I
don't believe spotlight indexes network drives (at least you can't exclude them in the privacy
pane).
I'm thinking that spotlight and time machine are somehow related. I've seen cases where when time
machine is running, spotlight is re-indexing. If this drives significant network traffic then the
wireless network performance will introduce long delays into the backup (and likely expose other
defects -- I doubt apple engineers thought that backups would end up taking 10's of hours just to
do the prepare stage.

I've had increasing difficulties getting the time capsule to work with time machine.
I see failures
1) preparing to backup takes forever.
a) Deep node traversal that never ends
b) Waiting for index that never ends.
2) Very very slow wireless networking speeds. I'm seeing speeds of about 2Mbits per second over
wireless. That seems quite slow.
I've done an "archive and install" and wiped my time capsule clean to start over. The initial
backup went fine, but subsequent updates got me back into this state.
I've tried disabling spotlight (as well as re-doing the spotlight index) but to no avail.
I've also "fixed" any permissions problems that might exist.
Regarding the wireless bandwidth, I've checked my Signal to Noise ratio (I'm about 30DB, which is
in a reasonable range), I've tried G, N and B, 5ghz, as well as 2.4 ghz. Performance was always the
same. I've disabled WDS.
I believe that some of the "preparing to backup" problems are related to the amount of data that
has to be transferred (or that is being transferred) between the TC and the Mac. For example, I've
been "preparing to backup" for about 30 minutes and I'm seeing sustained incoming rates of around
800 KBytes per second (I'm on 1000 base T, no longer wireless), and outgoing rates of about
100KBytes per second.
Note I haven't actually gotten to the part where it copies files to the time machine yet. In the
course of "preparing" to back up, it has copied over 1.6 gigabytes of data from the TC.
(brief update, while writing this, I transitioned to backup up data (I have 18.7 MB to back up, and
it ultimately transferred 2.5 gigabytes over the network. That's seriously messed up)
I'm not sure what exactly it is doing, but either it is caught in an infinite loop, or it is
copying too much data to determine what to back up. (Note: Not an infinite loop, it did
finish).

Frostedminipete kicked his PT-100 keyboard up quite a several dozen notches by adding the
following very effective circuit-bends -
Starve pot [simulates dying batteries...low pitch, etc]
Lead distortion pot
Snare/hihat/bass distortion pot
Bass drum distortion pot
Chord distortion pot
Warbly/wahwah switch
Pulse 1 (fast) switch
Pulse 2 (warbly/slow) switch
added 1/4" output w/ speaker on and off switch
Excellent additions, not to mention a pretty sweet paint job. [Thanks Marc ;)]a

survivor tip No. 5: Be a peacock, not a turtle/b/pp class="ArticleBody" page="3"Now is not the time
to crawl under your desk and hide until the scary man with the pink slips goes away./pp
class="ArticleBody" page="3""The biggest trap people fall into during a downturn is to try and fly
under the radar until it all blows over," says Nina Buik, president of HP's Connect user group.
"Now is the time to show how you can make a difference. Be the person in your organization who
sends an e-mail to the CIO saying, 'I've got a great idea I need to share.' You'll stand head and
shoulders above the rest."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="4"If you don't sell yourself, nobody will.
But when you blow your own horn, sound less like a marching band and more like Miles Davis./pp
class="ArticleBody" page="4"One of the best ways to promote yourself is to get other people to do
it for you, says John Baschab, senior vice president at Technisource./pp class="ArticleBody"
page="4""People are always looking for anecdotal evidence of your performance," Baschab says. "If
you're on the help desk and someone sends you an e-mail thanking you for your help, ask them if
they can send a copy to your boss. When you get verbal kudos, get them written down and sent to the
right place."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="4"The praise of others is always worth more than
self-puffery, agrees Buik. "But your boss may not know about all the little things you do. Take a
win you've helped generate for the company, find someone else involved in it, and ask them to write
it up for you and post it on your LinkedIn profile. Then offer to do the same for them."/pp
class="ArticleBody" page="4"Reminding your bosses all the wonderful things you've done is a start,
but it isn't enough. You need to keep putting your hand up for new projects that keep revenue
flowing./pp class="ArticleBody" page="4""What you did last month is a lot less relevant than what
you're going to do next month," notes Finch. "It's all about the bottom line. You could be Albert
friggin' Einstein and still get fired if they have nothing for you to do for the next three
months."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="4"bIT survivor tip No. 6: Schmooze it -- or lose it/b/pp
class="ArticleBody" page="4"Everyone hates a suck-up. And yet the world is full of them, so they
must be doing something right. The people who are retained in a downturn aren't always the most
competent, notes Lore. They're often the ones who are the best liked and know the right people./pp
class="ArticleBody" page="4""You've got to network inside your own company," says Lore. "Make sure
the senior people know who you are, the contributions you've made, and that they like you. Create a
wider circle, so other people start talking about you. Very often, techs are shy about being
forward with senior people in the company. This is not the time to be shy."/pp class="ArticleBody"
page="4"Although the clich? is that geeks are notoriously bad at social interaction, these are
skills that can be easily learned, says Lore. In fact, he adds, they're the same skills found in
books that teach nerds how to pick up girls -- mimic your boss's body language, speak in the same
tones, talk about the things they're interested in, and so on./pp class="ArticleBody"
page="4"Joining user groups and professional associations will expand your network, exposing you to
new skills and potential employers, notes Buik. Donating your tech skills to worthy organizations
can also raise your profile./pp class="ArticleBody" page="5""IT experts who volunteer their time to
upgrade the network for a nonprofit tend to gain positive press and build name recognition in their
locality," says Ari Kaplan, author of "The Opportunity Maker," a book on creative networking and
business development./pp class="ArticleBody" page="5"Online networks such as LinkedIn can help,
too. "Don't just put a little bit of information in there," says Buik. "Sell yourself. Tell
everyone within three feet of you what you're trying to do. If you're looking for new
opportunities, let everyone know."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="5"Just be sure to use social nets
wisely. Building up your r?sum? on LinkedIn is a good idea; sending your zombie to attack your
boss' zombie on Facebook is probably sending the wrong message about how you spend your time at
work./pp class="ArticleBody" page="5"bIT survivor tip No. 7: If all else fails, move to
Australia/b/pp class="ArticleBody" page="5"Now is not a good time to be job shopping. Even if
there's a photo of your boss next to the Wikipedia entry for "jerk," it's generally better to grit
your teeth and stick it out until the economy recovers. But if the worst happens and you get
downsized, you still have options -- like relocating to Australia, for instance./pp

skills remains solid," notes Peter Acheson, COO of Australia's largest IT recruiter, Peoplebank.
"There will still be strong demand for IT skills in the market here in 2009 -- in fact, in some
sectors it will still be tight."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="5"Another option is to join the
temp-to-perm workforce, says Tom Hart, executive vice president at staffing firm Veritude. Staff
augmentation services offer both businesses and employees more flexibility, he says./pp
class="ArticleBody" page="5""There are so many good reasons to be flexible, even if all you've ever
done is hold down permanent jobs," Hart says. "It gives you the opportunity to feel good about a
potential employer, and for them to feel good about you. And you continue to collect a paycheck as
you wait for things to get better."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="5"It could even be time to
consider going back to school or changing careers, says Lore, especially if technology isn't
exactly your life's calling./pp class="ArticleBody" page="5""Many people went into IT because they
had strong analytical skills, not because they enjoyed the work," Lore says. "For them, a career
change might be the best solution. Just because you have long legs doesn't mean you'll be happy as

Winrar, sous Windows, possède une option plutôt pratique qui permet
de “locker” (rendre non modifiable) un fichier RAR ou SFX (Rar
exécutable). Cette possibilité permet d’éviter que des gens
s’amusent à changer le contenu d’un fichier RAR.
Le seul hic, c’est que cette protection est facilement contournable en patchant
simplement quelques bits de l’archive. C’est le job de Winrar
Unlock qui fait exactement ça et qui du coup rend éditable n’importe
quel fichier Winrar protégé.
Je précise quand même, ça ne fait pas sauter les mots de passe. Pour
ça il y a d’autres outils.
