Pocket Operators by CHEAP MONDAY X TEENAGE ENGINEERING
Words by Bossman75
One of my first memories of a band using a synthesizer came from seeing Derry Brownson hammering his Kawai K1 II playing Unbelievable on The Word way back in 1990. At that time EMF were responsible for my taste in surf / skate clothing, my love of the OG red Fila Trailblazers and the desire to be a DJ or play keyboards in an electro-rock band. Sadly my spotty-faced, curtain-haired dream never came true. Fast forward some twenty five years and my desire to own a synthesizer is at least finally fulfilled.
Cheap Monday have introduced a line of micro synthesizers in collaboration with Stockholm based Teenage Engineering. This new line of musical instruments is called Pocket Operators and consists of three pocket sized synthesizers. There are three different models producing different kinds of sounds;
PO-12 / RHYTHM The RHYTHM is a drum machine with a 16 step sequencer with 16 different sounds which are a mix between synthesis and samples.
PO-14 / SUB The SUB is a bass line driven synthesiser. It's got a 16 step sequencer with 16 sounds and 16 effects / playing styles.
PO-16 / FACTORY The FACTORY is a melody / lead-synth oriented machine with a 16 step sequencer, 16 sounds and 16 effects / playing styles.
This collaboration came about when Jesper Kouthoofd, Founder and Creative Director of Teenage Engineering, asked his long time friend and fellow Swede Ann-Sofie Back to create super limited lab coats for his staff. Cheap Monday took on the challenge and delivered a line of modern denim workwear and T's for the Engineers. The partnership and collaboration was successful and the natural progression was to find a new route to work together and to bring something fresh and inspiring to both brands' audiences.
"I think this can be the seed to a new movement, at least a new music genre. All thanks to the open minded team at Cheap Monday and Ann-Sofie Back", Jesper Kouthoofd
Last week I was invited to attend a workshop at the Cheap Monday Carnaby Street store, and ever since have been trying to get my head around how to make the PO-12 Rhythm work. Tobias from Teenage Engineering made it look very simple, and there are manuals and guides aplenty online, but I'm still very much a novice. Fortunately the Pocket Operator can be used with personal headphones so there is no excuse not to carry around and use it. The only downside I see to the Pocket Operator is the very real (not really) danger of alienating friends and family, losing your job and ruining any relationship or marriage whilst you spend every spare minute trying to master it.
The capabilities of this extraordinary device, particularly when partnered with the other models, are remarkable and at the affordable price of an average Friday night out. The Pocket Operators are made for those with a keen interest in music and gadgets, but essentially anyone with opposable thumbs will find these entertaining. Whatever your intended use is for the pocket synthesizer, distraction, hobby, path to music superstardom, it's going to have your creative synapses firing from the moment you pop in those triple A's.
Alongside the Pocket Operators, Cheap Monday has created 3 special edition T-shirts featuring graphics from the lab-wear created for the Teenage Engineering team, you can get yours direct from Cheap Monday HERE.

They just showed the dugout exchange on the news. Aceves did not look upset. Pedroia looked slightly annoyed, after 30 seconds or so. BFD.3. Steve Balboni's Personal Trainer Posted: September 02, 2012 at 08:32 AM (#4224960)
It turns out that they are annoyed, but not at each other. Valentine told them the season is over around October 1st, not September 1st.4. There are a lot of good people in alt-Shooty Posted: September 02, 2012 at 08:47 AM (#4224967)
As a Red Sox fan, I find that news pretty annoying, too.
It looked like a pretty nothing argument. The funny thins is Bobby V was sitting right behind them as they "went at it" and seemed completely oblivious. Another coach came over and made the peace. Later in the inning Pedroia and Aceves were talking normally to each other--I'm guessing Pedroia reminded him not to run into the catcher and drop pop ups.5. Renegade (((JE))) Posted: September 02, 2012 at 09:16 AM (#4224977)
Apparently, Aceves' botched attempt to catch the Gomes pop-up in the fourth didn't help lighten the mood.6. Bruce Markusen Posted: September 02, 2012 at 09:44 AM (#4224985)
I just saw the replay, and while Aceves did not apper all that upset with Pedroia, he was clearly upset with Valentine and motioned for him to go away.7. Avoid running at all times.-S. Paige Posted: September 02, 2012 at 10:43 AM (#4225011)
I just saw the replay, and while Aceves did not apper all that upset with Pedroia, he was clearly upset with Valentine and motioned for him to go away.
The humane thing to do would be to let Valentine go now. He's clearly not coming back next season and he's lost a clubhouse he's never had. I feel bad for the guy. Well, sort of.
"It's Alfredo being Alfredo and Dustin being a baseball player."
he was clearly upset with Valentine and motioned for him to go away.
Aceves has officially joined Red Sox Nation.
he was clearly upset with Valentine and motioned for him to go away.
But seriously...when since the 40's...has a manager been told "Get the #### out of here, don't touch me. Go away, the adults are talking here."
I'm not a fan of the Bobby V that I saw on TV during his post-Mets years, but I don't blame him for much of what happened to the team this year. I don't like my bosses much, but I give my best effort most of the time while I'm at work, in spite of my feelings for management. Tanking on manager is pathetic. I don't buy the idea that they do it to get rid of the manager. I think they do it because there's no repercussions for doing it. That it serves to get the manager fired is beside the point. It's unprofessional.12. cercopithecus aethiops Posted: September 02, 2012 at 03:29 PM (#4225154)

Aceves usually seems cool as a hothouse cucumber, so for him to react that way is pretty revealing.
Knowing the appetite of the media for controversy, I'm surprised that I can't say that I've ever seen such an obvious display of distaste from a player toward his manager. Well, except for that time that Tomo Okha refused to hand over the ball on the mound to Frank Robinson.
I thought Aceves had a reputation for being a bit difficult. Wasn't that why the yanks let him go?15. Jay Seaver Posted: September 02, 2012 at 04:50 PM (#4225211)
I seem to recall reading that was part of why the Yankees let him go (he was injured, too), and the last couple of years have had the occasional instance of him being kind of a pain. Every time he pitches, the broadcasts seem to note that he doesn't seem to trust his catcher much at all, even when the almost-universally respected Cap'n Tek was behind the plate. So, yeah, he's difficult, but the last couple of weeks have been something else.16. Petunia inquires about ponies Posted: September 02, 2012 at 05:01 PM (#4225221)
Aceves, in my mind, has such a reputation for being a loose cannon that I took [13] as sarcasm.17. Benji Posted: September 02, 2012 at 06:43 PM (#4225272)
Am I missing something here? Is Aceves so good that this kind of stuff keeps happening and he doesn't get released? The 49ers cut Braylon Edwards on the brink of the playoffs because they didn't want his distractions. The Sox aren't headed for the post-season, so why not just cut him?18. cercopithecus aethiops Posted: September 02, 2012 at 07:46 PM (#4225284)
And as for V, I was always a fan, but he never should have taken that job. The last coaches that were that bad a fit were Tarkanian with the Spurs and Petrino with the Falcons.
I thought Aceves had a reputation for being a bit difficult. Wasn't that why the yanks let him go?
The Yanks let Aceves go because he missed most of 2010 with a back injury that he wouldn't rehab, and then broke his shoulder in a bike accident and was projected to miss the first two months of 2011. It seemed like there may have been some willful miscommunication about the injuries on his part. There was definitely more than a hint of fed-up-with-this in Cashman's comments at the time of the non-tender. He's a pretty good reliever, but probably not good enough to get away with being insubordinate.
Yeah, it's seeming likely that Aceves was non-tendered because he's not just an #######, but an ####### in a way that hurts the team & pisses off ownership.

I recently wanted to take some vids and make them playable on my dvd player for me and my wife to watch at home, I have some avi files I want to burn to a DVD. Did some research and found DVD flick, easy to use after a couple you tube videos i felt like i had a good grasp on this whole concept....everything seems to be working but after 8 hours and still encoding audio I'm sure there has to be a better way! or a better program to use, I don't mind buying software or anything like that and my pc isn't amazing but for the most part its alright (I listed specs when i made this account 3 mins ago if you cant see them let me know I'll list), but anyways I think I have dvd flicks setting set to max, but I'm not even using 20% of my pcs power I think if I close everything I'm doing and set it to above normal its using 4% processing power? Pretty sure I'm missing something any help would be awesome!!!

I don't know for sure, since I haven't used it in a few years, but maybe DVD Flick only allows using a single thread for encoding?
AVStoDVD is a another converter you could try. There is a multi-threaded encoding option on the systems tab in the AVStoDVD Preferences window that may speed up encoding if the encoder you select supports multi-threading. (HCEnc does support mutli-threading.) However, don't be surprised if it still takes a few hours to convert 2 hours worth of HD video to DVD compatible MPEG-2.
I'll third it for AVStoDVD. Use it all the time for creating DVDs. VERY useful, and surprisingly so for freeware.
The file converter and DVD creator in aTubeCatcher are more simple to use, but I've found that aside from the program not being able to create menus it also doesn't allow you to fast forward or rewind the DVD once it's made. (Not even sure if you can use "pause".) Fast, but not ideal.
Depends on what your goal is.
Also recommend AVStoDVD. Another option is DVDStyler.
Here's how to install it without adware:
Thanks again to everyone! I've started using avstodvd and its awesome, I'm sure i haven't figured out everything thing it can do just yet ,but that will all come with time and a little more searching. I tell most of my customers between youtube and google you can figure just about anything, but ill keep you guys in my back pocket for anything video Thanks again for all your help!

There is an opinion that Earthcoin and all crypto-currencies have no worth or value outside what people are willing to pay for them. The statement is true but it is myopic and does not reflect a deeper understanding. Paper notes have NO WORTH outside what people are willing to pay for them as well! The differences lie in the fact that paper money's value is artificially regulated by manipulation of the money supply for the "betterment of the many" so rockets can be built to go to the moon, nuclear battleships can be constructed to provide protection from an invisible threat and the NSA has a budget to spy on its own people – would you knowingly pay a portion of your income to those projects??!!! Crypto-currencies have a much different mechanism that governs their value through decentralization. The system exists now to maintain control and enslave the rest of us – that is my opinion of course and although I try to remove it from the literature I use to promote EarthCoin, I think it is evident so I might as well say it.
130 years ago, while you were chewing your chewing tobacco, hammering shoes over an anvil, and your neighbour was putting on the hinges to a coffin in his mortuary and the whore house down the street was sweeping the front step, a clean suited man came strolling up the dusty street with his briefcase in hand. He looked sharp and crisp, new, government type – not a lawman. He walked into the Saloon to a general audience and politely introduced himself as a disciple from the Federal Government. He politely explained how all of you over the next few months had to turn your Gold into him in exchange for his paper notes which were now going to be considered legal tender for trade instead of you shaving bits of your Gold off out of your pocket which was a crude way to do business in his opinion.
Instead, they were going to take your Gold put it in a vault at a fixed rate they determined and they would give you some debt notes that were related to that Gold you have given them and you would use that for trade. He was laughed out of the saloon and escorted kindly to the town limits. However he returned with force the next time and it was written by decree or fiat, that you were to give up your Gold in exchange for paper notes under the threat of imprisonment!!
It took 20 years for people to finally accept the worthless paper money but enough education had passed that it was easy to correlate the idea of Gold in the vault to the serial numbered issuance of paper money so it began to be believed it had value. Everyone became enslaved during that moment and over the years following, the treasury note was leveraged, fractionalized and derived magnitudes of order of its original value as the Government printed more and more and more with you powerless to do anything about it. You simply must work harder and harder now to have the same thing as 50 years prior.
BUT the people who adopted paper money with out a fight and saw its future were rewarded accordingly. People like the Rockefellas and JP Morgan and many others because of their early adoption they were allowed loans and credit and leverage for providing credibility to the paper note. This extraordinary wealth through borrowing allowed them to build their early empires and benefit immensely where the people last to adopt its use benefited less.
EarthCoin and crypto currencies in general will follow the same path of reward BUT they are much different in the sense that everyone will benefit from them over time regardless of when they come in, as they only become more and more valuable over time providing a base to build for the next generation. The early adopters will of course benefit more but not through its fractionalization, instead through its proliferation of acceptance. EarthCoin's supply is finite and limited and does not place the power of the creation of the money supply in a few hands, it awards that privilege to a decentralized mechanism that ensures its authenticity!! Simply incredible.
Hype is not required! Education is. And you are right, with proper EDUCATION each one of these currencies if not abused will form a massive market capitalization as people turn in their paper money for a crypto-currency and abandon the broken system. Each coin will represent the underlying trade in which each was created for. Many will find their own niches, even Sex Coin for its use on porno sites possibly and its market cap will be correlated to the amount of trade in that classification.
EarthCoin will find its niche hopefully with everyone, an identity that can unite us all regardless of color, religion, race or nationality. The Earth is a much better symbol of strength as it is the medium, the agar, the life-blood, which supports all of us! Much more appropriate than an Eagle or All-Seeing Eye that represents the beliefs of 300 million people in the United States. When you compare the two stores of value it is almost laughable that anyone in their right mind would even consider accepting those worthless debt notes.
Do you want to cause a revolution! A real revolution!? When crypto-currencies reach a critical mass of ownership (We are currently approaching 10 million), I am talking a few hundred million people, you would organize decentralized masses to converge on city centres, withdrawing as much paper notes from the banking system in their respective nations as possible and you would pile it in a mound in the centre of the mass of people at which point you would simultaneously light it on fire and watch it turn to ash, removing all belief that it had any value what so ever. It would be a dramatic end to slavery. The very next day, most commerce would begin in crypto-currencies and believe you me the World would work just fine. The people who have used the debt model to become wealthy would not be too happy though because their paper money would barely pay the hydro bill. I like Warren Buffet though, I would take care of him!

Congressman Steve King, speaking at The Family Leadership Summit in the heart of his own congressional district in Iowa, said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew that an isolated video was not the cause of the jihadist attack on the mission in Benghazi that killed four American diplomats in 2011.
The Congressman asserted that he knows for a fact that Hillary Clinton knew the truth when the administration gave a classified briefing to the United States Congress. King explained, "I can't tell you what was said [that was] classified. Except I can tell you this: she told us the same lies that Susan Rice told America the Sunday before" on the morning talk shows.
Speaking at the summit to celebrate conservative social values, Congressman King recounted that under the Obama administration, "abortions have been accelerated," adding that "traditional marriage has been undermined and eroded, and our freedoms have been undermined and eroded."
"Now we have a government who takes the expansion of the executive branch and weaponizes it to go after the people who disagree with the President of the United States. His political enemies … are under attack by the federal government," King asserted.

I traveled to New York City last week, taking United Nations leaders at their word that the high-level summit they were hosting on the global War on Drugs would be "inclusive" and would provide opportunities to seriously reevaluate drug policies that have ruined far too many people's lives.
But I was badly mistaken.
As members of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), my colleagues and I understood the UN General Assembly Special Session on the World Drug Problem (UNGASS) could be a chance for world leaders to undertake a true and comprehensive reexamination of prohibition and criminalization policies that are facing increasing opposition from the citizens and voters across the world whom they claim to represent.
A growing number of countries are beginning to enact reforms like marijuana legalization and harm reduction strategies like syringe exchange, and officials from some nations made a point to speak out during UNGASS sessions in support of a human-centered, harm reduction approach to drug use and misuse. But most of what we saw at the UN amounted to little more than a bizarre self-congratulatory celebration for maintaining international drug treaties that have so obviously failed for decades.
To us, as students, the most maddening part of the whole ordeal was the growing realization that although the drug war is waged in the name of protecting young people from the dangers of drugs, our voices are continually shut out of the debate about the negative impacts that criminalization policies have on our generations. Instead of being listened to and included, youth are tokenized and talked at.
As just one particularly glaring example, at a UNGASS side event billed as being about the importance of listening to youth voices, many young people were actually denied entry into the session despite having valid passes and despite the dozens of empty seats in the room. Ironically, the event served as the launch of the UN drug czar's inaptly named #ListenFirst campaign.

— Sensible Drug Policy (@SSDP) April 19, 2016
We are exactly the people that policymakers need to be listening to when they discuss laws that impact us. More than one out of every five drug arrests in the United States targets someone under age 21, according to the most recent FBI data. More than 40 percent of people arrested for drugs were under age 25. American college students convicted of drug offenses are evicted from dorms or stripped of their financial aid, often having to drop out and face an already difficult job market with the added stigma of a criminal record.
But rather than having our ideas taken seriously at UNGASS, my SSDP colleagues were told on several occasions to "grow up" by older opponents of drug policy reform. They implied that once we are older, we will learn that keeping drugs illegal and punishing people for use is the only way to reduce drug problems (despite the decades of evidence demonstrating the miserable failures of that strategy).
But we didn't let that sort of thing stop us from making our voices heard in other ways.
When we arrived in town, flanked by hundreds of our colleagues who had just been bussed up from SSDP's international conference in Washington, DC, we held a rally outside the UN to air our grievances with drug policies that have harmed so many of our peers.
Trevor Thornburg, an SSDP alum from the University of Arizona, stepped up to the soapbox and described how an outdated drug war mentality causes so many needless deaths. Speaking of his friend Will, who died of a heroin overdose in January, Trevor said, "This young man, with every indication of a bright and successful future ahead of him, overdosed and died on his very first day of college. That would never have happened in a world where drugs are legal, regulated and labeled for potency and purity. At the very least, lifesaving overdose antidotes like naloxone should be readily available on college campuses to prevent tragedies like the one that cost me someone who was like a brother to me."
The last UNGASS on drug policy, nearly two decades ago, operated under the slogan, "A drug-free world—We can do it!" But since then, drugs haven't gone away. In fact, four US states and the nation's capital have voted to legalize marijuana. The nation of Uruguay ended cannabis prohibition, and Canada's newly-elected prime minister campaigned on doing the same. Portugal has decriminalized all drugs. A growing number of countries are recognizing that the goal of eliminating drug use is embarrassingly impossible and have instead decided to enact more realistic measures that seek to reduce the harms of substance consumption as much as possible.
At last week's UNGASS, though, some world leaders were still pushing to "promote a society free of drug abuse."
But even while UN bodies like the Office on Drugs and Crime and the International Narcotics Control Board team up with powerful countries like Russia, China and in some cases the United States to shut down debate on ending prohibition, a notable number of nations took the opportunity during official sessions to articulate the need to dramatically alter our course.
Jane Philpott, Canada's health minister, for example, said that countries need drug policies that "respect human rights" and are based on a "firm scientific foundation." Announcing that her government would follow though on a campaign pledge to legalize marijuana, Philpott acknowledged that the move "challenges the status quo in many countries," but said that "it is the best way to protect our youth while enhancing public safety."
And Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto traveled to the UN to "giv[e] voice to those who have expressed the necessity of changing the regulatory framework to authorize the use of marijuana for medical and scientific purposes" and endorsed increasing the amount of cannabis that is decriminalized in his country "with the purpose of not criminalizing users."
As just one more example, Jamaican Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson-Smith said that marijuana's classification under international drug treaties as a Schedule I drug—the most restrictive category—"is an anomaly," arguing that the current approach ignores "science and evidence-based analysis."
But these impressive speeches took place after the General Assembly had already adopted a predetermined "outcome document" expressing unyielding allegiance to the international drug control treaties that purport to prevent countries from ending prohibition. So, instead of coming together to have a real debate on the issues and then settle on a way forward, UNGASS approved the outcome document as the very first item of business and then spent the next three days talking about it. That's completely backwards.
And that wasn't the only problem with how the UN ran things at what was supposed to be an opportunity for open and serious reexamination of global drug policies. While I won't bore you with a long list of all the last-minute procedural changes and general disorganization the UN exhibited this week, leading to a lack of real dialogue about solutions to the problem we came to discuss, here are a few especially outrageous examples:
- Security personnel were directed to physically confiscate copies of a letter calling for fundamental reforms to drug policy signed by more than 1,000 world leaders including Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, former President Jimmy Carter and former heads of state of Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Switzerland, among other nations. When UN leadership is afraid of paper handouts because they're threatened by the content, you know something is wrong.
- As noted above, students were kept out of panels supposedly about listening to youth voices. Even when we were able to get inside a room, security singled us out to double check our passes. Aidan Harold, a high school SSDP member from Canada, was the only young person in the General Assembly session at one point, and out of the 75-100 people in the room, he was the only one approached by security about his pass. "It's a very disconcerted feeling to be excluded and discriminated against by the very group of people claiming to be working to help you," he said. "'Building a better tomorrow for today's youth' is the theme for UNGASS, and yet at every turn I have been prevented from attending meetings or sharing my opinion."
- Most sessions and side events didn't even build in enough time for members of civil society to ask questions at the end. When there was time for participation, the floor was rarely turned over to SSDP members or our other youth allies. During a roundtable on human rights, for example, we ensured several of our members were in the room 20 minutes early and prepared with statements. Yet despite indicating our desire to speak from the very beginning, we weren't called upon once during the three-hour session. Instead, the floor went to more member states who made more hypocritical claims about the importance of listening to youth.
And beyond the disrespect shown to members of civil society and nongovernmental organizations like SSDP, the UN ignored calls for reform from countries themselves. Despite the strong speeches from Canada, Mexico, Jamaica and others, the final outcome document excluded concrete steps proposed by participating nations.
While the whole experience proved frustrating, the truth is that the attempted silencing of our voices only galvanizes us to fight harder. And we know that moving ahead, more and more drug policy reforms are going to be enacted which will make it much more difficult for the UN to keep pretending that the status quo is working and doesn't need to be changed.
This year, for example, advocates in the US are expected to succeed in at least doubling the number of states with legal marijuana. Next year, Canada's cannabis legalization law will go into effect. Patients in Mexico will soon be granted legal access to medical marijuana. And other countries will move away from prohibition and toward policies that effectively reduce the harms associated with drug misuse.
At the next UNGASS on drug policy in 2019, after three more years of evidence, advocacy and people recognizing the failures of the drug war, we have good reason to believe that world leaders will have no choice but to engage in a serious conversation about changing the international drug control treaties that still deter some countries from moving ahead with sensible reforms.
This year's UNGASS was supposed to be an opportunity to finally share the stories of young people whose lives are being destroyed by the drug war.
On the final day of UNGASS, a side event was held where individuals shared stories about children, siblings and friends who have died as a result of the effects of the international drug control regime. The side event was everything that UNGASS should have been: an inclusive, open space where the voices of those most affected by the drug war could be heard by those who need to hear them the most.
The 30 of us youth drug policy reform advocates who were inside the UN last week may be frustrated about what happened there, but we can never forget the millions of young people around the world who are losing their lives due to the UN's insistence on continuing the failed drug war. That is why we refuse to back down. We will continue to get into the faces of those who support the status quo. We will continue to call out hypocrisy. We will continue to share the stories of our friends, family and peers who are having their lives stripped away from them.
As just one example, SSDP is launching an online campaign this week inspired by the prohibitionists who told us at UNGASS to "grow up." We are encouraging young people who care about the harmful impacts of the drug war to take to Twitter and use the hashtag #GrowUpOrShutUp to post pictures of themselves with their mouths taped shut. In this way, we are depicting how prohibitionists who control the UN value (or, more accurately, devalue) the voices of young people.
We will continue to do actions like this—online, in the streets and in the halls of power—because the goal of official processes like UNGASS should not be creating a better tomorrow for the world's youth; it should be creating a better tomorrow with the world's youth.

Cloning of Trametes versicolor Genes Induced by Nitrogen Starvation
- Authors
- Publication Date

We have screened a genomic library of Trametes versicolor for genes whose expression is associated with nitrogen starvation, which has been shown to induce ligninolytic activity. Using two different approaches based on differential expression, we isolated 29 clones. These were shown by restriction mapping and cross-hybridization to code for 11 distinct differentially expressed genes. Northern analysis of the kinetics of expression of these genes revealed that at least four of them have kinetics of induction that parallel kinetics of induction of ligninolytic activity.

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. I am messaging and following these directions on a separate computer that runs XP if that changes anything, I'm doing all this in relation to the HP laptop from my System Specs on here. Tried plugging in a monitor, but got no signal. I then tried the taking out the RAM, this produced those warning beeps you stated. Now this eliminates the GPU and mobo from being the problem, correct?
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
It eliminates the mobo for the most part, and to some extent the screen since having no signal to an external monitor points to a GPU failure.
Confirm you've gotten nothing whatsoever on screen. If you can get into the BIOS then resetting it to defaults might help.
I'll ask a hardware expert to consult. If you're under warranty I'd call HP support to help on this as they must make it good.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
Hmm alright, I'll try asking HP for help first. If not I'll try and search for a video for that cable. I will get back to you.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
Again, I asked you directly to confirm there's no signal to screen at all, even BIOS Splash screen?
If you are indeed under warranty I would not mess with the hardware as they are obligated to replace it for the first year or term you bought extra. Do not tell them you made any changes, just that it won't start.
The fact an external monitor won't show anything also points to the GPU rather than the monitor screen, so you may well need RMA from HP.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
I've called HP, and I was under warranty (actually my warranty expires in 20 days, so lucky) and the guy there helped me fix it. He had me hold down the power button for 10 seconds with power and utilities unplugged. I then started it back up, while I received and error message and wasn't able to log in I was able to hit F9 and use the Repair Computer option to reset to a restore point. I really appreciate the time you put into helping me gregrocker, thanks a bunch!!
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
Glad to hear it.
Do you think there was something about the way you were pressing F9 before that kept it from booting the disk before? What boot choice did you make from that menu to do the repair? Normally if you don't boot a disk from F9 then you'd access the onboard System Recovery Options via F8 key.
Have you considered replacing the bloated HP preinstall with a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to get much better Win7 performance without the heavy load of HP bloatware and duplicate utlities that interfere with and have better versions built into Win7. I will be glad to help you get it perfect.
If not then I'd Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
If you have some customizations you'd like to make, just ask back in a new thread and someone from that specialty will help you. Be sure to set a System Restore point so you can access it via F9 again if necessary.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
Yea most likely, I'm guessing that when I was pressing F9 that menu was coming up but the screen was just interfering. Thats what I feel the root of the problem was. But now that I look at the System Recovery Options that is what I accessed. So I guess it was F8 that Hp had me press. From there he had me try System Repair but it turned out to find no errors ironically. So we proceeded to System Restore, thankfully I did a Windows Update the same day the screen went black so I didn't lose anything!
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2013
So were you able to see what was on the screen during the BIOS post (with the HP logo) so you knew when to tap the Fkey? That's why I kept asking you that question.
Or did something about holding the Power Button (which releases residual power if you unplug the PC and battery) make the text visible when it wasn't before?

Mexican Corn on the Cob (Elote)
Learn how to make Mexican Corn on the Cob, a street food called Elote. It's grilled and has the most delicious topping all over it.
Elote is the name for a classic Mexican way of making corn on the cob. It's really easy to make but the flavor is unbeatable. It's creamy, cheesy, a bit sweet and a bit sour. A really perfect combination.
How To Make Mexican Corn on the Cob
First you make a creamy spread for the corn cobs. Some people use straight mayonnaise as the base. Others mix mayonnaise with sour cream or Mexican crema. I opted for a mixture of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt because I wanted that bit of tang. I used the Stonyfield Whole Milk Greek because, well, it's probably my newest favorite thing.
To that mayonnaise mixture you add chili powder and garlic. You can optionally add chopped cilantro. I always do but I know that not everybody likes the distinctive flavor that it has.
Next up, you grill the corn. Shuck the corn cobs and put them on the grill over direct medium heat. Turn them every so often so that some kernels are nice and brown on all sides.
(If you don't want to grill the corn, you can of course cook it another way. One quick way is to put 2 corn cobs on a microwave-safe dinner plate with about 2 tablespoons of water. Top them with an inverted second dinner plate and microwave on high until cooked through, about 4-6 minutes).
When the corn is cooked, spread it with the mayonnaise mixture. Spread it all over the entire cobs. This is important because of the next step.
This step. Right here. What you're going to do is sprinkle the cobs with a crumbly cheese. It's the mayonnaise mixture that gets the cheese to stick to the cobs. Brilliant, right?
What kind of cheese do you use? Traditional Elote uses cojita cheese. My grocery story doesn't sell it though so I go with either feta or crumbly queso fresco. Crumble the cheese up very finely and then sprinkle it on the cobs, turning them so that the cheese ends up on all sides.
Finally, you squeeze a bit of lime onto the cobs, again turning them to get it on all sides.
Oh wait. One more step. Eat!
The printable version of the instructions with ingredient amounts is below. Have a great day!
Mexican Corn on the Cob (Elote)
- 1/4 cup whole milk Greek yogurt (such as Stonyfield), sour cream or Meixcan crema
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup finely crumbled cojita cheese, feta cheese or queso fresco
- 1/2 of a lime, cut into 4 wedges
- Preheat the grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
- In a small bowl mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chili powder, garlic and cilantro, if using.
- Shuck the corn and put the cobs on the grill. Cook, turning often, until the corn kernels are cooked and some of them have browned, 8-10 minutes. Remove from grill.
- Spread cobs all over with the mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle all over with the cheese, turning cobs to get it all over. Squeeze one lime wedge over each cob, turning to get lime all over also.

Muslim nanny who beheaded girl, 4, could be free in THREE YEARS – shock claims
A NANNY who paraded a four-year-old girl's severed head in public claims she could be freed in three years – despite a 50% chance she will strike again.
Gyulchehra Bobokulova has apologised for chopping off Anastasia Meshcheryakova's head as revenge for Russia's air strikes in Syria.
The 38-year-old – who is being held in a secure psychiatric hospital – said prison medics told her she will be released after three years of treatment.
But a psychiatrist warned there is a 50-50 chance she will attack again if she stops taking her pills.
"I regret it"Gyulchehra Bobokulova
Bobokulova – whose first name has also been spelled in English as Gulchekhra – moaned she is getting "fat and unattractive" in prison.
The killer carer – who was meant to be looking after disabled Anastasia – has begged to be sent back to her native Uzbekistan, a Muslim-majority former member of the USSR between Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.
Bobokulova sent shockwaves around the world after she was filmed brandishing Anastasia's head outside a Moscow metro station minutes after decapitating her.
She claimed "Allah" told her to carry out the horrific attack as Russia was bombing Muslims.
In an interview published by the Mail, she said: "I did the wrong thing.
"I regret it. Wrong, wrong.
"Now I am here without my children and nobody needs me."
Psychiatrists have diagnosed Bobokulova as insane – but police are still probing her possible links to terrorists.
However, she claimed: "I know everything.
"I have to undergo compulsory treatment for three years and then they will let me go."
A psychiatrist who works with her said: "She has not attacked anybody [in jail] during the last three months.
"But this is thanks to intensive therapy only.
"If she stopped taking her pills right now, I couldn't guarantee how she will behave.
"The chance of another crime is 50-50."

text: The River Dream motif for these mittens was inspired by the intricate geometric patterns from the shamanic textiles of the Indians in the Amazon basin of Peru. I wanted to capture a design that reflected both the river and the dreams and songs that give rise to the textile designs so each mitten mirrors the other. The variegated blue yarn adds depth to the design. Put the two mittens together and see the complete design. Made with worsted weight or DK yarn, River Dreams mittens are a quick, easy knit. The mittens have stranded cuff with a short ribbed border, while the thumb has a Selbu type gusset. The pattern directions include easy to follow charts, photos, and written instructions. There is a matching hat pattern. The mitten and hat patterns are available as a set. BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY Knitting in the round, increasing/decreasing, stranded knitting with two colors, reading a chart, and Kitchener stitch. GAUGE 6 stitches and 6 rows = 1 inch (2.5 cm) in stranded work Note: Gauge is tighter than normal for worsted weight yarn.

As everyone knows, the United States Constitution is a tangible, visible document. Many see it in fact as a sacred text, holding no meaning other than that which is clearly visible on the page. Yet as renowned legal scholar Laurence Tribe shows, what is not written in the Constitution plays a key role in its interpretation. Indeed some of the most contentious Constitutional debates of our time hinge on the extent to which it can admit of divergent readings.
In The Invisible Constitution, Tribe argues that there is an unseen constitutionimpalpable but powerfulthat accompanies the parchment version. It is the visible document's shadow, its dark matter: always there and possessing some of its key meanings and values despite its absence on the page. As Tribe illustrates, some of our most cherished and widely held beliefs about constitutional rights are not part of the written document, but can only be deduced by piecing together hints and clues from it. Moreover, some passages of the Constitution do not even hold today despite their continuing existence. Amendments may have fundamentally altered what the Constitution originally said about slavery and voting rights, yet the old provisos about each are still in the text, unrevised. Through a variety of historical episodes and key constitutional cases, Tribe brings to life this invisible constitution, showing how it has evolved and how it works. Detailing its invisible structures and principles, Tribe compellingly demonstrates the invisible constitution's existence and operative power.
Remarkably original, keenly perceptive, and written with Tribe's trademark analytical flair, this latest volume in Oxford's Inalienable Rights series offers a new way of understanding many of the central constitutional debates of our time.
Tribe (constitutional law, Harvard) a leading constitutional scholar, carefully argues that the text of the Constitution is silent on many of the most fundamental questions of constitutional law. He argues that these questions are addressed through underlying principles that create an "invisible constitution." He shows that these principles apply to a range of topics from the earliest constitutional interpretation to present controversies. Tribe defines the terrain of the invisible Constitution by exploring beyond the document's text and offering a half-dozen models to determine this "invisible" architecture. It is this architecture that provides the rationale for including foundational principles behind the written text when arriving at new interpretations of constitutional meaning. Tribe argues that these foundational principles create strong bonds that underlie the textual guarantees, which lead to answers on relevant questions that the written Constitution cannot provide. His original views here are carefully distinguished from the ideas of an "unwritten Constitution." His provocative analysis and arguments will challenge readers' understanding of constitutional provisions. Strongly recommended for all academic libraries.


text: Good morning fellow smokers. Today, I'm smoking Back Beef ribs on my Traeger using the 3-2-1 method and using a simple Jack Danials beef rub. However, I will be adding 1 extra hour in the foil process (so it will be 3-3-1 method) so I can have more tender ribs. Will this hurt the cooking process? I would like to use Apple Cider as my liquid for the foil. But I was also told beer is good as well. Your thoughts please?

Be wise as thou art cruel; do not press
My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain;
Lest sorrow lend me words and words express
The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
If I might teach thee wit, better it were,
Though not to love, yet, love, to tell me so;
As testy sick men, when their deaths be near,
No news but health from their physicians know;
For if I should despair, I should grow mad,
And in my madness might speak ill of thee:
Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad,
Mad slanderers by mad ears believed be,
That I may not be so, nor thou belied,
Bear thine eyes straight, though thy proud heart go wide.

AKIPRESS.COM - Supporters of Adolf Hitler in Milan emblazoned the city with posters of the German dictator over the weekend in honor of his 125th birthday, The Local reported.
The posters were put up overnight on Saturday by members of the National Socialist Workers Movement, a neo-Nazi group that originated in the Lombardy town of Varese in 2002.
The group said the posters were a "simple gesture" to mark the birthday of "the greatest leader that Europe has known so far."
Hitler was born on April 20th 1889.
"Every year, we feel it's important to pay respect to a man who knew how to take a nation's hand and guide it to rescue, until its tragic end."
Hitler supporters in Lombardy have gathered prominence in recent years, with some representatives being elected to local governments.
Neo-Nazi group Militia has also been responsible for a number of anti-Jewish attacks, including allegedly plotting to bomb the president of Rome's Jewish Community, Riccardo Pacifici.

Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage.
Take care,
Savella also has the propensity to raise blood pressure too, so be careful on this med, & have your blood pressure checked often...
I believe in moderation. For its a rule that I use and has served me well over the years.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
What is PollBox?
The best way to improve is to ask your customer what should be changed. Unfortunately many companies underestimate the significance of customers feedback. Setting up standard contact forms does not seem to be an efficient means of communication with users as
they can never know whether their complains or recommendations have been heard.
PollBox is a new solution that makes company customer sure that all their suggestions are taken into consideration. It's an up-to-date tool to gather productive feedback in order to improve company's services or their software product and develop
communication with the customers. PollBox is a free platform where customer can express what they like or dislike about a company's services and product. While some customer propose specific solutions on how to improve, others can vote for ideas they
like most thus moving such suggestions to the top of the list. Thereby a company can always see what the majority really lacks and wants to have changed.
PollBox does not only let users express their concerns but also provides the means for bilateral discussion. Company can give official responses on the suggested points informing the customers what ideas will be implemented in the nearest future and making
them believe that they are taken seriously.
Why Pollbox?
You may find some similar services on the web; however unlike all the other competitors PollBox provides a feedback system that is absolutely free of charge and open source that means you can change it and implement it as you want.

Greetings to all;
Using CPA v2.2.1 with MySQL, I'm experiencing the following series of errors.
Before link tables are created I can use the:1. Histogram2. Box Plot and 3. Table Viewer tools
The first time use of these tools appears to create the link tables. After the link tables are created and while trying to use any of the CPA tools (except Table Viewer that always works) I get the following error:
Trying to use te 'Advanced'-> 'Clear table linking information' tool also fails
However, if I manually drop the link tables then the tools work as indicated above (for first time use) and then fail again with the errors above.
I've checked for 'dbconnect' in the properties file an I don't find it anywhere.Any ideas as to what I should try next.
Thanks and best regardsIoannis
I think this is an issue with the table names being capitalized. I tried to fix it, so try it with the nightly build made after this.
Thank you! I'll give it a try and let you know. Much appreciated!
I'm having exactly same problem as Ioannis, have you managed to resolve this issue?
Hi Nina,1) Are you on Windows or Mac?2) What version of CPA are you running?
We think this error has been fixed in the main branch of the software, so if you're running the stable version and have a Mac you can try the nightly build; unfortunately our windows builds are broken at the moment, so you'd have to install from source.
Thanks for your reply! I'm having Windows version 2.2.1. Do you have any timetable for the fix?
I checked with our software engineers and unfortunately they're not sure at this point when the build issue will be fixed.
Are you using MySQL or an SQLite database? The above user was using MySQL, but I've never run into the issue with SQLite databases- just a thought. The other option unfortunately is to try to install CPA from source by following the link above so that you can access the latest version.
