“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States (1901–1909). He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, and his leadership of the Progressive Movement, as well as his “cowboy” persona and robust masculinity.[3] He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive (“Bull Moose”) Party of 1912. Before becoming President, he held offices at the city, state, and federal levels. Roosevelt’s achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician.](http://media-1.web.britannica.com/eb-media//02/119402-050-274FAD64.jpg)

The Tale of the Credit Score
Matt Haughey:
I used to think a credit score was all about your ability to pay, but it’s clear now it’s more about how profitable you will be to banks.
Adding a Mac OS X Lion Recovery Partition to a 1TB Drive
Apple’s Lion Recovery Disk Assistant allows users to create a bootable recovery disk on an external hard drive (1 GB or larger). I have a 1TB external drive that I use for backing up my MacBook Pro. I figured that adding the recovery partition to this drive would make for a nice backup/recovery solution to have ‘just in case’.
When you run the Assistant, it will ask you which mounted external drive to use. There’s also a warning that it will erase any existing data from that drive.
I can live with that…I have backups of my backups.
The problem is that the partition that’s created is hidden. If I try to format or partition the drive to use the remaining free space, the hidden partition is overwritten.
Yeah…I know…this isn’t rocket science.
My solution: Using Disk Utility, create two partitions on the drive. Set the size of one of the partitions to 1 GB. Once those are created, launch the Assistant again and choose the 1GB partition as the drive to use for recovery. The Assistant will hide, format and copy the necessary files to the partition, leaving you with a partition to use for backups.

Happy Easter
“Non-Christians seem to think that the Incarnation implies some particular merit or excellence in humanity. But of course it implies just the reverse: a particular demerit and depravity. No creature that deserved Redemption would need to be redeemed. They that are whole need not the physician. Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it.”
- C.S. Lewis
Be it a sunrise service, an Easter egg hunt (or a lazy afternoon sipping a latte on the veranda of a hipster coffeeshop while making fun of other people’s silly holiday rituals), do this one thing today: Steal one quite moment, bow your head and say ‘thank you’.
Republicans Introduce Legislation Redefining Pi as Exactly 3
“It’s no panacea, but this legislation will point us in the right direction. Looking at hard data, we know our children are struggling with a heck of a lot of the math, including the geometry incorporating pi,” Roby said. “I guarantee you American scores will go up once pi is 3. It will be so much easier.”
I’m…uhh…speechless.
