Kingston (Ontario, Canada) The Crystal Ball Gala Art Fundraising Online Auction
A max bid would make it more difficult for others to outbid you.
A max bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for an auction item.
In response to other bids, the auction system will automatically increase your bid in the smallest increment possible (up to your max bid amount) in order to maintain your lead position.
To get a max bid you simply enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay into the bid form just as you would any other bid. If your bid is more than one bidding increment above the current high bid you will get a max bid unless another bidder has a max bid in place that is higher than the amount you enter.
At the end of the auction, the winning bidder pays only the lowest winning bid possible. That means that you can win an auction item at a price less than your max bid amount.
Your max bid amount is kept confidential from other bidders.
You can lower or delete a max bid by entering a lower amount.
Note: After watching hundreds of auctions and talking to thousands of bidders, we think using max bids in your bidding strategy works best for most people. It eliminates some of the pressure and reduces the risk of "sniping", where other bidders slip in slightly higher bids in the last seconds of bidding.
You now have a max bid.
You can raise or lower your max bid at any time by entering a new amount.
If you wish to remove your max bid you can do so by entering an amount equal to the current bid into the bid form.
You can adjust this max bid by using the form above.
If you want to remove your max bid click here.
You can enter the minimum bid of %s or a greater amount.
If you bid more than the minimum bid you will get a max bid that the system will use to bid for you against other bidders, up to the amount you enter. So if you enter a bid of %s for this item, the system will place bids on your behalf in response to bids from other users until someone bids more than %s.
"Fire In the Sky"
Mixed Media on Canvas 30" x 36"
Fire in the Sky is a creative collaboration between two artists. One is a landscape painter and the other loves everything PINK. Together we explored acrylic painting techniques, landscape composition, colour layering and collage. We applied paint to the canvas with brushes, palette knives, spoons, water and our hands. In the end, one of us learned a whole lot about painting and the other one now also loves pink.
Oil on Canvas 24x40
The process for this painting started by walking around downtown Kingston and taking pictures of possible subject matter. This is an oil painting of the boats in the harbour on stretched canvas. It shows the flow of the boats, and the depth of the sky. The background was painted first then more extreme lights and darks were added.
How We Saw the World
Oil on canvas 48x24
From Roz: On creating a painting... I chose Ollie to work with because I sensed a commonality of a strong drawing background and sense of design. Along with that, we share a love for architecture, detail and texture. As I was going to spend the summer in PEI, I invited her to join me there. Prior to that, in several studio sessions, we had talked about art while reviewing her work; we mixed paint colours and used different brushes and knives to play with paint, just as an introduction to the process. In PEI we visited a charming fishing village, finding inspiration in ramshackle huts with peeling paint, barn board and visual texture galore. Over a couple of photo shoots we captured the images that were so appealing, pooled our thoughts, and later in the studio, we used a grid system to translate our visual idea on to a large canvas. Working in tandem over about ten visits, we applied layer after layer: base coat, outline and colour, dark and light, details to gradually bringing our vision to life. We also built a frame. Ollie learned that the process is not quite so daunting when broken down into many steps, and was introduced to palette knives and paint brushes of all sizes to create our piece. It is important in all this to exercise the joy of creative licence, so we added an element or two that had meaning for us both to document our time spent together in PEI. I was touched by how much Ollie recognized things that brought me so much joy in life, and sensed something of a kindred spirit in her, hence the title of our joint effort, "How We Saw the World".
Black and White Photo using projection and model 20" x 30" unframed
From Taylor We decided to go with this project because it was what first attracted me to Ella's submission, I liked the idea of overlaying an image onto a live model to create something that blended a living subject with a static image. To create this image a projector was used to project an image onto a blank white wall. We then had the subject stand against the wall within the projected image to create a merging of the live model and the projected image. From Ella I enjoy using projected images on my subjects because it allows me to create any mood or meaning I want to with my photos. The beauty of this kind of photography is that you can put any photo you want on the model. This allows the viewer to respond to the image differently than if they were just viewing the subject. I thought it would be interesting to project nature images onto the model because I wanted to combine the beauty of humanity and nature.
Out Building/Bunkie
13.5' long, 8' wide and 10' high.
Value to reproduce: $15,000
This building, pictured here in a partially finished state, was designed as a multi-functional structure. It could work as a bunkie, a studio, a small office, or anything else one might conceive.
The driving factor in the design process was that it had to be less than 108 square feet (10 square meters), as this would allow it to be placed on a property without the need for a building permit. Various forms were explored at the outset, ultimately deciding on a rectangular shape with a shed roof.
Another factor that influenced the design was the type of construction we were employing. It is a timber frame structure so that the construction mentees could learn traditional joinery methods, as well as allow the building to be easily assembled and disassembled. The whole framework of the building has been constructed without a single nail or fastener. The timber frame aspect also challenged the design mentees to explore a specific method of construction. Last photo is the artist rendering for the project, which also shows the roof installed.

"Electric Calm"
Acrylic on canvas
Working in series on a variety of supports, expressing various styles and techniques, led Lily and I towards understanding how best to express ourselves harmoniously. This piece showcases repetitive detailing, delicately and painstakingly applied, offset by broad strokes of colour, thick luminous glazes, with hints of opalescence. These concepts are the cornerstones of colour-field painting, evoking a space of sensual texture containing and expressing both energy and tranquility. We played with texture, reflectivity and colour saturation, using layering, collage and extrusion techniques to produce further depth.
The painting is a celebration of colour and a vital expression of the possibilities of acrylic colours and mediums. We are both passionate about mark making, clustered and repetitive non-subjective imagery, (doodles, basically), that express both of our compulsive and detail oriented creative personalities.
Oil on canvas Dimensions - 2 x 20x20 (approx 20" x42" finished hanging dimension)
We decided to produce a diptych together and chose a red flower as our subject matter. We narrowed it down to a red flower, a poppy and decided to work in oil paint. We worked out the compositions together and then in following sessions proceeded to work side by side on our respective canvases to produce a collaborative finished product, titled Remembrance.
Iron sculpture Dimensions 108x52x48
Finish - oiled
The trunk was fabricated from round bar and pieces plasma cut from sheet plate and then hot formed to create a round shape. The roots were all hand forged using roundbar. The branches were fabricated bundles of round bar to get a transition from the thick end to the thinner end of the branch. This is a great piece for outside like someone's' backyard or front lawn. It is going to take on natural patina over the years, which emphasizes its organic look, and it as well creates a focal point. It would make a great centerpiece for a house entrance or lobby, "bringing the nature inside'.
Dimensions - 65x19.5 inch plexiglass with 6 brass metal grommets for hanging.
This is our collaborative piece of ten photographs. Images were naturally photographed, and woven with an organic thread of a line, a light and our worlds, that brought them all together to create the piece you see here. Applied to a clear surface to allow the energy of light to continue to flow through our images.
Two Distinct Glass Necklaces:
(15" from top to bottom).
Laura Donefer and Gabbie Templar would like to present two necklaces created from flame working glass on a torch. The glass starts out as a rod, and has to be melted in a hot flame then formed to make a bead. It takes a lot of skill to master this technique, and the shorter necklace is nestled into the longer one. This neck adornment is being presented as one piece, consisting of two separate necklaces
Day Dream
Encaustic on plywood 36" x36"
This painting was made with beeswax and oil paint and sits on a 2 inch deep plywood frame. Many layers were poured or brushed on and then fused with a blow torch. The flexible qualities of wax allowed us to manipulate the paint by gauging down into under-layers, etching or building up 3 dimensional textures. Yasmin became very efficient and relaxed with the torch technique and I would also say, is well on her way to becoming a texture junky like myself!
Acrylic skin, glass & metal beads, LED lightbox 10" x24"
Working in series on a variety of supports, expressing various styles and techniques, led Lily and I towards understanding how best to express ourselves harmoniously. This piece showcases repetitive detailing, delicately and painstakingly applied, offset by broad strokes of colour, thick luminous glazes, with hints of opalescence.

"Lady Mariana"
Acrylic on wood panel 36x36
This process started with developing one of Ale's sketches based on her drawing" grow a tree", a feminized play on the phrase "grow a pair"; an image of a girl with a tree growing from her head. We began with a simple outline, adding textures and layers of colours. The palette is cool with warm touches of reds and sepia. We played around with the background and finished with something that resembled Canada's geographic landscape, similar to the east coast. The title of this piece comes from the Latin term for Black Spruce (Picea Mariana) and thus Lady Mariana or lady of the spruce. Ale wanted to incorporate some of the things from her home country, Cuba, so she made sure the landscape also resembled it a bit adding a small white house with a red roof that are very common in Cuban art.
Their Blue jay and Flamingo
Oil on canvas 24x30 inches (61x76 cm)
This piece demonstrates the existing femininity and masculinity within one individual. Pink and blue, colour themes stereotypically associated with gender (and deeper colours within these ranges) as well as the figures' clothing and postures, work to define the two sides. The stance of the figures and their interactions with each other attempt to demonstrate them managing a healthy balance, thus maintaining self-acceptance and inner peace. The background design reinforces the concept of two coexisting sides. Feminine curves in the shapes of a stylized floral motif balance with the straight masculine angles of the leaves. The colour purple of the shadow combines both pink and blue, again integrating feminine and masculine elements. The two figures are not meant to be seen as two separate people but symbolize the feminine and masculine nature of the same individual. The bird names Blue Jay and Flamingo relate to the wings of the figures and their associated colour themes. Symbolizing their self-acceptance and inner peace, the wings also associate the individual with the saying free as a bird.
Mixed-Media Dimensions - Triptych,
3 x 12" x24" (approx. 24" x38" outer dimension)
This piece is a collaboration incorporating digital sketches with painting. It began with a ton of sketches-digital files and paper sketches-mainly of different characters she has created. It is a combination of expressive creatures with abstract painting. We put together a triptych which would depict a little story in three expressions of one character. We enjoyed working through the challenges of the project to come up with something unique, together.
This asymmetrical necklace is constructed from hand built and hand formed pieces. The links are created with copper wire and the organic triangular shapes are formed from sterling silver plate. The necklace links are all made to mimic each other in their respective forms. The strand of beads are strung with lapis, sodolite, and bloodstone. Necklace is about 20" long.

Diplay drivers for Dell Optiplex GX260 for Windows 7
I have Dell Optiplex GX260 system. I intalled Windows 7 Ultimate on that. The resolution of screen is fine but it is not supporting 1280 x 1024 resolution and videos are not playing properly. It was not taking audio drivers as well but when I ran the SoundMax drivers for XP in compatibility mode they were installed. But display drivers are not getting installed. I even tried the various driver from Nvidia for XP/Vista/Win 7, but none of them works. Even tried the latets 191 release but no use.
Someone please help me. Suggest me some driver.

Yeah, that card is incompatible with Windows 7 unfortunately. Really only meant to be used with XP. You will enjoy Windows 7 far greater if you upgrade your video card to a new model.
Knowing Dell machines, many require to use PCI cards. You can get a decent one for around $45 US that could even be able to play Blu-Ray.

No. It doesn't work that way.
What you can do is run both XP & 7 on the same computer and have a choice when you turn it on which one you want.
It isn't very easy to setup though and a sightly difficult process unless you know computers very well.
If you're interested in that, you could see the installation and setup section of the forum and ask about it there.

Hi Sri. Yes, that would be a good choice for you because according to this, you have a weak power supply. Your motherboard has an AGP slot and that would be a much better choice of card type to use if you also purchase a better power supply too.
So, if you are not going to change power supplies, you could use the card you asked about. All you have to do is make sure there is an open unused slot to install it to.

November 19, 2010
There's been a maelstrom of discussion in the last week of a head coach giving up that role to focus on the personnel side, but it has been centred on the B.C. Lions' Wally Buono. Today saw no developments on that front, but rather a similar story breaking in a different CFL city. It was reported by The Regina Leader-Post, TSN and The Globe and Mail that Saskatchewan head coach Ken Miller (pictured above during Sunday's semi-final) may move into a front-office role after this season.
The reason for the speculation appears to be a clause in Miller's contract. Here's Murray McCormick of the Leader-Post:
Miller's contract includes a clause where he could relinquish his duties as head coach in the next year or so to concentrate on football operations. If that does take place, Miller feels confident the transition would be a smooth one for the Riders and for himself.
"If I weren't to appear on any given day, it would move forward without a hitch,'' Miller said. "I'm proud and happy with the people we have in the organization right now.''
Despite that contract clause, this isn't quite as clear-cut as a similar transition in B.C. would be. Out west, Buono holds both the titles of head coach and general manager, so he could step upstairs and hire his own replacement if he wanted. Saskatchewan already has general manager Brendan Taman, so it isn't likely Miller would step into that spot. Miller does currently hold the title of vice-president of football operations, so much of the discussion has been on him maintaining that role, which would probably involve working with Taman to build the team's roster. The exact details of how that would work haven't come out yet, however.
If Miller did step down as head coach, his replacement might also not be as easy to decide on as it would have been earlier this season. Offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Doug Berry, a former head coach with Winnipeg, would be a logical candidate, but the availability of recently-fired Edmonton head coach Richie Hall might throw a spanner into the works. Hall was very successful as a defensive coordinator with the Roughriders, and he showed plenty of promise with the Eskimos this year, particularly down the stretch. If the Riders do have a head-coaching vacancy, I'd imagine he'd receive at least some consideration.
All of this is still quite premature, though, as Miller certainly hasn't said he's stepping down yet. Here's what he told the Globe:
"When this season is over I'll give it some time and talk with [wife] Maureen," Miller said following his team's practice Thursday at Mosaic Stadium during a full-scale blizzard. "We'll make a good decision for us. I'll talk with Jim [Hopson, Saskatchewan's chief executive officer and president] and Brendan [Taman, the general manager].
"We'll evaluate what we've accomplished or what we haven't accomplished, then we'll make a good decision for our family and a decision that's good for the Riders. That's what we'll base those decisions on.''
That certainly isn't definitive one way or another, and it doesn't appear answers on that front will be forthcoming for a while, so let's shift the discussion to if Miller should stay as head coach or not. The view from this corner is that he should keep that job for at least another year. It's obviously hard to judge a coach from a distance and particularly to see if he still has the passion and drive required to succeed in a highly taxing profession, but all indications are that Miller still does. He's only 69, so he's not approaching Joe Paterno territory yet. It's also worth keeping in mind that this is only his third season as a CFL head coach, so it's still a relatively new challenge for him.
Miller (pictured at right in some classic retro pants during a July 17 game against Edmonton) has found some pretty impressive success so far, though; he's 32-21-1 in the regular season. That's a .592 winning percentage, which is quite solid in what's been the toughest division in a parity-filled league recently. He also took a 10-win team to the Grey Cup last year, and only lost thanks to an infamous special-teams screwup. In my mind, he certainly still has the chops to be a great CFL head coach for years to come.
What's most impressive to me about Miller is his willingness to be unconventional and his willingness to address criticism. His most-debated decision this year was undoubtedly the attempt to win a game against Calgary with a punt single rather than a field goal, a controversial call that's almost never seen in the CFL. It didn't work out in that particular instance (although Saskatchewan went on to win the game), but I'm still convinced that it was the right call on a percentage basis. That didn't prevent Miller from being widely roasted by critics, but, rather than go after them the way another member of his coaching staff might, he accepted the criticism and admitted that the plan didn't work. He still stood his ground and said he'd make the same call again, though. That combination of receptiveness and persistence is a unique mix among head coaches, and I think it's a big part of what's made Miller successful. It also should allow him to succeed at whatever role he chooses for the coming years, whether that's on the sidelines or upstairs.

Ages 4-5
*must be 4 years old by the first day the child is enrolled in camp
Our youngest campers will spend their days enjoying a combination of teacher led activities and unstructured, creative playtime. We'll learn to hold a baby chicken, bring food scraps to the piglets, and pick cherry tomatoes in the garden. Sprouts campers will go on short hikes in West Rock Park, wade in the stream, picnic under shady trees, make nature art projects, and learn silly camp songs.
Special themed days might include a daytime camping adventure with a campfire, marshmallow roasting, fort building, and time for creative play in Common Ground's cabins in the woods and a Garden Tea Party Day with snacks made by campers with fresh foods from the farm.
Favorite activities usually include lots of music and stories, water games, creative play in the mud kitchen, fort building, and cooking with food from the garden. Specific activities follow the cycles of farm and forest, and each week is a unique adventure, so Sprouts campers may be signed up for any number and combination of sessions.
Our Sprouts Camp teachers are professionals who have lots of experience with early childhood education. The teachers are joined by a college-aged intern, high school student counselors, and several junior counselors, so we have lots of hands available to help our youngest campers navigate the farm and forest. Please see the "Frequently Asked Questions" page for more details on the qualifications of our camp staff.
Sprouts campers do not have an afternoon nap time, but quieter activities are available as a choice after lunch for those who may need it.
Choosing Sprouts vs Adventure Camp for 5 year olds
Sprouts Camp has a lower child to staff ratio than Adventure Camp (4:1 vs 6:1). Sprouts Camp is based out of a classroom, and all other camps are based out of our small cabins in the woods. This classroom home base provides a calmer, quieter setting for starting our days (but like other camps, Sprouts Camp is primarily outside during the day). Sprouts Camp offers a combination of active, energetic activities and quieter periods to the day (especially after lunch when some children might be used to having an afternoon nap). It might be the best choice for 5 year olds who have never attended a summer camp before or who are shy about warming up to new situations.
Camper/Staff ratio: One adult camp teacher and one camp counselor for every 8 children (4:1 child to staff ratio,not including interns or Junior Counselors).
All campers receive a camp tshirt and water bottle. Camp hoodies are available for purchase when you register (optional).
Time: 8:30 – 3:00 (extended day available from 7:30 – 8:30 AM and/or 3:00 – 5:30 PM)
- Session 1: Weds, July 5 – Friday, July 14 (1.5 weeks)
- Session 2: July 17 – July 21, 2017
- Session 3: July 24 – July 28, 2017
- Session 4: July 31 – August 4, 2017
- Session 5: August 7 – August 11, 2017
Fee: $375 per week (Session 1 is 8 days long and is $600)
- We accept Care4Kids.
- Financial aid is available. Apply online HERE, or complete and send in this form.

LONDON (Reuters) - Commodity fund managers are betting a pick-up in economic growth will lead to improved price performance in 2014 after a terrible year in which just two actively managed funds in the Lipper Global Commodity sector made money.
But even if demand improves, some commodities will remain hobbled by oversupply, making 2014 a crunch year for managers who need to convince investors the asset class can deliver sufficient returns.
The S&P GSCI, a popular commodity index, fell 1.2 percent in 2013, but the average actively managed fund in the Lipper Global Commodity sector lost 9.98 percent. Lipper is a Thomson Reuters fund research company.
Only two of the 122 Lipper commodity funds generated a positive return - the first-placed Credit Suisse Commodity Access Strategy Fund, which gained 3.34 percent in 2013, and the specialist SafePort Strategic Metals & Energy Fund, which returned 0.09 percent.
Some of the worst performers were hybrid stocks and futures funds, dragged down by natural resource equities. Gold miners fell 53 percent on average last year.
The best performers tended to be long/short or market-neutral funds, as these were able to make money in falling markets and limit downside risk.
Managers had different theories as to why decent commodity performance proved so elusive in 2013.
"Over the last couple of years, if you invested in commodity indices you lost money," said Mikko Heiskanen, portfolio manager at Pohjola Asset Management. His OP Commodity Fund returned 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter, earning fourth place in the Lipper league table.
"The volatility that comes with that is high and it adds a lot of risk to your portfolio, even if it's just a small holding. So an exceptional amount of money has been taken out of the commodity space, which doesn't help," he said.
But Nelson Louie, global head of commodities in Credit Suisse's asset management business, thought the reallocation of money from commodities into areas such as equities had had less impact on performance in the fourth quarter.
"The major commodity indices were up 1-5 percent in H2 2013," he said. "Most of the negative performance really took place in the first half of the year as global GDP troughed and various economies were trying to gain some traction."
Losses in the first half were so deep, however, that few commodities ended the year in positive territory - niche offerings such as cocoa, cotton and soybean meal did the best. Among the more liquid commodities, only crude oil and natural gas performed well.
Louie is more positive about 2014, as the trend points to a pickup in global growth. Barclays economists forecast global GDP rising by 3.4 percent this year, up from 2.9 percent in 2013.
"Economic indicators continue to improve, credit conditions are better, sentiment is up, housing prices and financial markets are up and central banks generally continue on their paths of easy monetary policy," Louie said.
Heiskanen is also hopeful that accelerating global growth will help demand, but the supply picture is more complex. One reason why investors avoided commodities in 2013 was concerns about new supply coming on stream, especially in industrial metals, he said.
Sustained low prices have prompted mining companies to curtail production and shut unprofitable lines, however.
"Western producers have started to cut capacity over the past year in metals like aluminum and nickel. This is helping to stabilize sliding prices. We've seen prices at levels where a lot of producers weren't profitable," he said.
Unfortunately for investors, the cutbacks in production growth will take time to filter through. "This is not really a theme for 2014 but we are probably closer to the bottom now than we were a year ago. The risk/reward is much better skewed to the upside," Heiskanen argued.
He attributed some of his outperformance in the fourth quarter to lead and nickel positions, but the bulk of it came from underweighting or shorting gold. He remains relatively positive on industrial metals but is cautious on precious metals and gold in particular.
Bullion prices fell by 28 percent last year, but rallies in the second half kept futures managers on their toes.
"Gold is very volatile because there is a huge amount of short interest," he said. "I think we will continue to grind lower but see snapbacks when the short interest becomes too high and people get a bit nervous over short-covering rallies."
For the asset class as a whole, Louie believes the environment is improving as cross-commodity and cross-asset correlations are declining. "We expect individual commodities to be increasingly driven by fundamental supply/demand factors rather than macroeconomic headlines," he said.
But fundamentals will also have to become more supportive if price performance is to pick up. "Generally the asset class is a bit unloved at the moment," Heiskanen said.
"Once we establish a base and see some prospects of tightening in these markets, commodities can do reasonably well over the medium term."

Conservation-minded Athens gardeners soon will be able to reuse their soapy bath water on flowers and vegetables.
The Athens-Clarke Commission is set to legalize the outdoor use of "gray water" - water caught in the sink or bathtub while bathing that otherwise would go down the drain - at its Tuesday voting meeting. The state legislature changed the plumbing code last year, and now the county is following suit.
Many residents already are watering with gray water, and officials have, for the most part, turned a blind eye to the practice during the recent drought, even though it is technically illegal.
"It validates what many people have already been doing and gives them some direction, and it also opens the door for people who have not been doing it," said Commissioner Kathy Hoard, who chairs the county government's water conservation committee.
Gray water differs from so-called "black water," which contains sewage and germs.
Under the new regulations, gardeners will be able to fill a watering can or other hand-held container with gray water from their bathrooms or kitchens and use it to water plants outside. The water cannot contain hazardous chemicals or have been used to wash soiled garments like diapers, and it cannot be poured on the ground near streams.
Greasy or oily water used to wash dishes is not good for plants, but soapy water is OK, said Chris Butts, a spokesman for the Georgia Green Industry Association. In fact, many gardeners add a little soap to their water to keep it from sticking to leaves, he said.
"For the most part, I would say that anything that comes out of the bathroom is fine," Butts said.
Gray water will not be subject to outdoor watering restrictions. Residents can use it any time they choose, although it's best to water early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid evaporation, Athens-Clarke Water Conservation Coordinator Marilyn Hall said.
Eventually, county officials plan to allow plumbing systems that will capture and reuse gray water. Such systems would most likely be included in new houses, where they cost about $4,000, Athens-Clarke Deputy Manager Bob Snipes said. Retrofitting a plumbing system to handle gray water costs about $10,000, depending on the size and layout of a house, Snipes said.
But some people might want to retrofit their plumbing anyway, even though they're unlikely to recoup the cost by saving water, Hoard said.
"It's not out of the realm of possibility, but it is very expensive to do so," she said.

Lagrange, GA (PressExposure) October 02, 2009 -- acousti-Art is an acoustical panel with interchangeable graphics that offers schools, businesses, convention centers, and other venues an option that is aesthetically pleasing rather than just functional. They have full acoustical functionality but serve dual purposes.
"These panels are a perfect solution to an unsightly problem of normal acoustical panels," says Tricia Dimon, President of Design Group. "These panels were designed to offer schools, businesses, event facilities, and more another option. However, they do not necessarily have to be used for acoustical function, they can also be graphic panels to increase visibility, display new products, and promote events among other things."
acousti-Art can even help schools generate revenue by selling ad space to companies, parents, groups, and clubs. "The graphics are interchangeable so they can be used for multiple applications. It's a great fundraising idea for schools," says Ms. Dimon.
Tricia Dimon of Design Group and Debbie Guined from Competitive Edge Inc., will be attending the GASFA (Georgia Association of School Facility Administrators) annual conference and tradeshow in October to showcase their new product to attendees.

You wrote some of Exosquad?! And I'm just finding this out NOW?! What the hell?! That 'toon rocked! Well up to the somewhat cliffhanger-ish final episode but still. Wicked cool!
I almost fell out of my chair when I saw your picture. Thirty-eight years after Bedford High and I could still recognize you. A recent picture of Stan proved that he is still recognizable. When I looked in the mirror this morning, some old dude was staring back at me. Good luck on this project, and many, many more to come – I hope!
LOL… yes, 'tis I. I'm doing pretty well. The TwiceDead moniker is because I've had two separate bypass surgeries. They're a lot of fun. I highly recommend them to everyone. I'm still kicking, but just not as high.
I live in L.A., Lower Alabama that is. I have two sons, the oldest passed away in October, the youngest lives about 25 miles from me. The youngest is 30 years old, married and has three daughters.
By the way, my wife is still ticked about Farscape going off the air.
Thanks Ricky. I appreciate that. Also, I will show my wife the link you sent. As for me, as long as they keep Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International on, I'm happy. Believe me, if I was in better shape, I'd be ghost hunting myself. Fortunately for me, the SciFi channel has a marathon of their programs this Sunday. I don't do football.
BTW, you do your own HTML to set up this site?
Thanks Ricky. I can understand that. Fooling with HTML can be fun. I've played a little with it myself, but it's been several years ago. I appreciate clean. well laid out sites that are easy to navigate. This page looks clean. Two thumbs up dude. I've migrated completely to Linux for all things online a few years back. I only use Windows for playing games any more. I do like my first person shooters. That's pretty much the extent of my geekiness. I have assembled a vast reserve of useless knowledge. Take care.
Matt Ford. Remember? Farscape? I am heading through LA in a few weeks. Beer?
Richard. I was looking around for someone I could ask questions. I am trying to break into tv/film writing/producing and need someone I can ask questions too. I have been sitting on a show bible and pilot script for a sci-fi series for a while now and I think it's time I started doing something about it. Just looking for someone awesome like yourself that I could maybe email and ask questions occasionally. Love your work by the way.
It's Syn, and, yes, I am still running for President, but that's not why I found you.
And I won't go into it here. It's just great to find you again and to learn that you are well. As you can guess, my long-distance wooing of Gigi never came to fruition. Not even sure she ever learned I existed. Ah, well… a long time ago.
Be awesome, Mr. Manning. I'm not giving you a choice.

Openbox goodness....
You made an interesting point there, Chrys. It's been placed on the backburner for further slow-cooked processing.
I don't think of customizing Enlightenment as tedious - just a bit of fun because it is easy. With everything comes a learning curve and I would say try it if you are curious.
Transparency needs compositor. Like compton or xcompmgr. You can try adding their commands to xinitrc, no guarantees it will work though. Lightdm isn't a window manager.
You can however try other lightdm greeters
yaourt -Ss lightdm greeter
Take your pick. Try webkit greeters. Some are cute, some are hideous, some have transparency, some don't work at all. These are available in repository, so more likely to work. It appears some haven't been updated since 2013-14. Maybe stay clear of those
community/lightdm-webkit-greeter 0.1.2-6

A webkit2 greeter for LightDM build for Manjaro Dark version
Good luck.
I wouldn't say i'm on the Dark side of the Force but quite close but minimalisticly !
Thanks badbodh. I am using compton but within the openbox wm autostart file and getting transparency on the desktop fine. What i wanted to know is how or is there a way to change the style of the lightdm greeter, like i was able to move the login box and add a background picture, leave out the the user picture on the login box but i cant figure out one would change the greeters style, is there some sort of stylesheet that controls the look?
My desktop KDE Plasma 5.8.5 . The Dock is "Latte-Dock" and colors applied are "Brown Steel".
Great picture, shame you chose the wrong DE.Sorry, but I love KDE, for many years already, and for me there is no other DE than KDE. All others are dull.But again, great picture.

Storm Damage: Ferry Forced to Wait 8 Hours for Docking, 40K Households Without Power ({{commentsTotal}})
Sunday evening's storm, which brought wind speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour to Estonia's northern coast and islands, caused a trans-gulf ferry carrying 900 passengers to drop anchor just off Tallinn for the night, while 18,000 households are still without electricity.
The Viking XPRS was scheduled to dock in Tallinn at 22:30 on Sunday, but weather conditions forced the captain to halt docking procedures and drop anchor nearby.
The ferry finally docked at 06:40, and left to return to Helsinki less than an hour later.
40,000 Households without Power
Nearly 40,000 homes were left without power after the storm, but most lines had been repaired by 11:00 today.
Northern counties suffered the bulk of the damage with 4,700 households in Lääne-Viru County still cut off from the power grid, as well as Harju and Ida-Viru Counties with around 3,000 households each.

CWY: Herbed potato salad and grilled vegetable pasta salad
ASHWAUBENON - Our Cooking With You guest this week is Amanda Baugnet of Denmark!
Amanda joined FOX 11's Emily Deem to create some great summer recipes and to talk about Kellner Back Acre Gardens CSA.
Herbed Potato Salad
- 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes (about 15), halved if large
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, and chives)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- kosher salt and black pepper
- Fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of water and fit with a steamer basket; bring the water to a boil. Place the potatoes in the basket, cover, and steam until tender, 12 to 14 minutes; drain. In the summer cook in tin foil packets. Add an ice cube to the packet to prevent sticking and steam them.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the herbs, scallions, oil, mustard, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the cooked potatoes and toss to combine.
Grilled vegetable pasta salad
1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium zucchini, quartered and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 medium summer squash, quartered and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 fennel bulb, cut into ½-inch slices and diced
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into ¾-inch cubes
1 can of cannellini beans.
1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
Freshly ground pepper
8 ounces whole wheat rotini (spiral-shaped pasta) – type of pasta optional
¼ cup Italian dressing
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh basil, torn into large pieces
- Pre-heat grill.
- Cut zucchini in half and quarter the bulbs of fennel and red pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Grill for three minutes on each side – vegetables should not be cooked through.
- Take vegetables off of grill, cut into bite size pieces and place in bottom of bowl.
- Drizzle half of the dressing over the vegetables.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta, following package directions.
- Drain the pasta and add to bowl.
- Toss remaining dressing over the pasta, adding more as needed.
- To serve, place the vegetable pasta salad on a serving plate and top with the cheese and basil.
- Can be served as a side to main entre or over salad greens for a complete meal.
Notes: To reduce calories instead of salad dressing reserve pasta water and add as necessary. Then just had two tablespoons of herbs. I recommend using dried herbs only if you intend to keep the salad in the fridge for more than a day.
Kale Salad
1 cup of kale greens
1 apple
¼ cup of chopped nuts of choice
1/4 cup of dried cherries
¼ cup of goat cheese
Poppy seed dressing
Clean kale well and cut. Top with ingredients. Since Kale is heavy you can dress earlier than eating.
Tips for Kale
If eating in a salad – try to eat close to purchase or picking so they leaves are tender. If they are a few days old consider sautéing them instead or adding to soups and smoothies.
After chopping the kale, massage it with olive oil and salt. This will help the leaves break down a bit.
When all else fails – add bacon. A hot bacon dressing will wilt the leaves and make it taste like baconJ

I get up early every morning to read the Sankei newspaper. However, because the reason for getting up early is lost for the day on the newspaper holiday, I go to bed two times. As long as I subscribe to Sankei Shimbun, this problem will continue for a long time.

Fantastic Furniture advertises itself as having "Australia's Best Value in Bedding and Furniture." However, after two recent incidents with its Worx chairs it has recalled them.
|The retailer has sold almost 100,000 of the popular chairs. There have been two incidents, one in which an entire toe was lost, and another in which part of a toe was sliced off.
"They should have recalled the chair straight away. But nothing was done and now someone else has been hurt."He told reporters that he was still not used to being without the toe and was seeking compensation. However, even after the incident the chairs passed subsequent quality control tests. Competitors sell virtually identical chairs to the $39 dollar Fantastic chairs but so far none of them have chopped off anyone's toes.

The Georgia loss to Clemson was devastating to some Georgia fans, but none more so than this guy…
He called the radio station after the game ended late Saturday night / early Sunday morning and poured out his heart.
The caller complained about the need to "fire head coach Mark Richt" and when he did hosts Rob Tribble and Sam Mitchell did what any good radio host would do, they asked him who he'd like to see replace Mark. He had no answer and then shortly began to sob.
Then things went downhill rapidly. The caller began to cry and was distraught over the loss.
The call has gone viral and picked up by USAToday.com, BleacherReport.com and many more… listen to it below:

full body shot
Catallaxy wrote:
I am assuming you are asking about an adult subject. Kids are different in that we are used to seeing them a bit closer and more inside our personal space.
For traditional portraiture, you want to be about 10-15ft from your subject to get the most pleasing perspective. If you get too close you get the dreaded "big nose, no ears" look and if you shoot too far away you lose the feel of intimacy with the subject. That is why a lot of fashion is shot with 200mm or even 300mm lenses because they want to objectify the subject and accentuate the clothes, jewelry, etc.
So for about that 10-15ft range a 35-50mm focal length is about right. 35mm will be more intimate, but might show a bit of perspective distortion, and 50mm will be on the longish side.
Note also that you want to shoot a bit lower than normal camera height. If you shoot at normal eye level, the subject's feet become smaller and the head becomes bigger and that is usually not flattering. Shoot a bit lower - about mid chest on the model. Not too low or the model will be looking down on the camera in an obvious way and that is not pleasing either.
I use my Voigtlander 40 f/2 for posed shots where I can manually focus. For events, I shoot my 24-70 f/2.8/ at 35-50mm range or my Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 at 50mm setting.
Good luck!-- hide signature --

National Park Service Approves Rehabilitation Tax Credit for Historic Building in Easton
Scranton, PA – Congressman Matt Cartwright announced today that the National Park Service has completed a favorable review of the rehabilitation work on the historic Governor Wolf Building in Easton, PA under the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program. As a result of the inspection, a 20% federal tax credit on qualified rehabilitation expenses was awarded to the owners of the building. Tax credit recipients are eligible for this program when they extensively renovate a historic property and return it to useful service.
The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program was created as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1976. The program has generated over $69 billion in private investment in the rehabilitation of historic buildings. 2017 marks the 40th anniversary of the first certified project under this highly successful initiative.
"The federal tax credit not only helps preserve history, it is a cost-effective tool in ongoing efforts to revitalize our older urban neighborhoods and Main Streets across the industrial Northeast and Midwest," said Cartwright. "The benefits include generating much-needed jobs, creating affordable housing, enhancing neighborhood property values, and stimulating other rehabilitation activity in the surrounding community."

Lamps, Bertrand ruled out of Poland clash
Lampard, who has a knee injury, and Bertrand, sidelined by a throat infection, missed Friday's 5-0 victory over San Marino, but England manager Roy Hodgson was hopeful they would recover in time for the Poland clash.
But, after reporting to England's training camp yesterday, to be assessed by the medical team, it was decided that neither would be able to take part.
"Frank Lampard and Ryan Bertrand have been ruled out of England's FIFA World Cup qualifier with Poland," read a Football Association statement.
"Lampard (calf) and Bertrand (illness) did not take part in England's 5-0 win over San Marino, and will not be ready for Tuesday's game. Roy Hodgson and his squad of 23 players travel to Warsaw today.
Lampard and Bertrand were sidelined less than 24 hours after it was confirmed Theo Walcott was ruled out of the Warsaw showdown after sustaining a chest injury in a heavy challenge with San Marino's goalkeeper Aldo Simoncini.

Winter Shades of Grey 2013
Could Shades of Grey really be the New Black? It definitely looks like it this season. Designers are stepping out this Winter/2013 to show the unique and chic way to wear your Greys. In Europe this season designers such as Dolce & Gabanna, Marni's Mohair, Gianfranco Ferre and Calvin Klein have showcased their collection at Milan's mens fashion week this past winter. In each of these designers collections there were many different shades of grey being displayed on the run way. Every designer took the once known to be dull pigment and created bold contoured creations of garments. Each outfit was perfectly paired with many different prints and color schemes. Designers took the grey concept to a whole new direction. Shades of warm, charcoal, Silver, slate, and light Greys were brought out in the most unique combinations. Pairing each attire of grey with plaid, burgundy, browns, yellows, and exotic printed fabrics. Grey never look so good.
Tailored suits and messager bags were also a hit factor on the Runway. Each of them contrasting every shade of grey you can think of. On lookers sat and watched as the sweaters, coats, and boots showed each immaculate way to mix and match your greys. A deep variation of the grey scale was surly seen. This Color always seems to give an garment a very sophisticated look. Grey is such a diverse and Universal color that it also looks great against all shades of skin tones.This season Grey is definitely the shade to be seen. Here are some ways to help you pair your Greys.
Lighter Greys usually look awesome with a darker bottom and a clean fair top. For example take a pair of dark denim skinny jeans put it together with a light grey cardigan and a pair of fresh kicks. This is a great outfit for casual days in the office or around town. Lighter Greys like Silver looks great when it is paired with a dark contrast like burgundy or Hunter Green.
Darker Greys like kohl and smokey grey are well paired with beige and creamed colors.This gives each attire a strong and crisp look. Always remember with these types of Greys that you should wear a single pieces of color in a Garment. Choose a single item to show off your grey like a blazers,leather Jackets, or a wicked pair of Jeans.(to much would over kill an outfit)

Peak Notes
27 April 2005
It's a busy time with respect to the discussion of Peak Oil.
Maryland Congressman Roscoe Bartlett goes back before Congress tonight (27 April) in his third Special Order presentation to the body on Peak Oil.
Depletion Scotland, an organization that works closely with the Oil Depletion Analysis Center (ODAC), just held a one-day conference on Peak Oil featuring Colin Campbell, founder of ASPO; Matthew Simmons, chairman of Simmons & Co; Brian Wilson, former UK Energy Minister and others.
These are some of original and loudest energy industry voices (Campbell a geologist, Simmons an investment banker) warning of the imminence of peak production. Simmons again hit on his theme of the need for transparency in reserve numbers, and of the possibility that Saudi production is close to—if not already past—the point of peak production.
As a counterpoint, Saudi Aramco a few days earlier at a meeting in Paris had outlined large projects recently completed or under way in Saudi Arabia representing production capacity of 3 million bpd of crude oil. (O&GJ)
Saudi Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Ali I. al-Naimie estimated his country's proved, probable, and possible reserves at 361 billion barrels, with additional undiscovered resource potential of at least 200 billion barrels of oil in place—80+ years worth at current production rates.
Simmons' new book, Twilight in the Desert, which analyzes Saudi production and reserves, is due out in May.
In addition to the work done by the associations and organizations focused on peak oil, there are (at least) two valuable news and analysis resources.
The first is Energy Bulletin, a news portal. The second is The Oil Drum, a new blog co-written by two professors, one in energy production, the other in the social sciences.

Beans In
Time to plant beans in Texas! It's going to be a warm week, which will heat the soil enough for the seeds to germinate. Any type of bean can go in now–soy, snap peas, snow peas or green beans. I soak my seeds and put them directly into the soil Most beans don't like to be transplanted. Look over at the gardening menu on the left if you are looking for more information about pests or mildew.
I also finished putting in my lillies and dalhias. It's the first year I've tried these. It might be early for the dalhias, but any freezes that we have coming aren't likely to be more than a few hours during a night, and I mulched over the bulbs pretty heavily.
The daffodils are coming up and I'm just starting to see the hyacinths peeking through the soil. I just love the signs of spring! I can't wait for the smell of those flowers. They are my favorite!
Of course, with spring comes some additional work. I also had to trim back bushes, including the crepe myrtles. I haven't tackled the oleander yet. That thing looks like some sort of monster out of a movie. I'm afraid to walk by it. If it grabs me, I could disappear inside that bush forever!


text: Some years ago , we used to go to a Cantonese seafood place in Causway Bay that had originated in the typhoon shelter then moved to dry land. It was unique because they had "chili pepper rankings" beside the dishes which is unusual for Cantonese cuisine. Can anyone name this place and give me the address? Thanks !

The Clinton Public Library has a new employee who will be focusing on bringing more adults in the doors.
Holly Youngquist, 50, of Thomson, Ill., recently started as the Adult Programming and Outreach Librarian at the library. Holly said she is excited about the position and hopes to offer a lot of programming at the library for adults. She feels it is important for libraries to bring culture and education opportunities to adults living in a community. She added programming and outreach allows libraries to be more responsive to the needs of the people.
Holly has alway enjoyed reading. She remembers reading books with her parents when she was young. Holly loves romance novels as well as science fiction and mysteries. Some of her favorite authors are Shirley Damsgaard, Leigh Michaels, Donald Harstad and Christine Feehan. She also loves the J. D. Robb book series by Nora Roberts.
Holly grew up in Fort Dodge and West Branch and worked in her local library in high school. Approximately 20 years ago, she decided to go back to school to pursue a career. She received a bachelors degree in religion in 1997 and a masters in library sciences in 2003. She recently moved from Newton to Thomson, Ill., for the job at the Clinton library.
Holly said she loves working as a librarian. She especially loves working with the people.
"It makes me feel good when their face lights up and I'm able to either put a fiction book that they're really going to enjoy in their hands or help them find information that they really need for some reason," Holly said.
Holly has enjoyed getting to know the staff of the libraries. She spends most of her time at the Lyons branch, but hopes to divide her time between both locations. She is currently working on setting up speakers and creating programming for National Library Week in April. She also plans to have a summer reading program for adults.
In her free time, Holly is involved with the Society for Creative Anachronism. She said she is fascinated by medieval history and enjoys crafts from the time period. Holly also writes and believes in supporting writers.

The fawning MS press establishment moves quickly to aid in the Dickie Scruggs PR rehab effort
Dickie Scruggs, who helped fellow inmates in prison, moves to home confinement
He earned millions and made national headlines suing corporations, but disbarred attorney Dickie Scruggs returned home quietly last week to Oxford, where he will finish a prison sentence under home confinement.
His old friend Mike Moore, a Jackson lawyer who previously served as state attorney general, said officials at a federal prison camp in Montgomery probably hated to see Scruggs go. The high-octane lawyer had been teaching math classes to inmates so they could pass the GED test. In fact, Scruggs earned his certification to teach the classes after he realized inmates were failing the GED because of poor math skills.
"I'm sure Dick's going to look for some ways to do some good," Moore said. "He's always trying to help people."
Moore said Scruggs would have to explain what he learned from his time in prison. But Scruggs did not respond to a telephone message from the Sun Herald.
"I'm sure he has a list of 100 lessons he has learned," Moore said.
"But I'm sure he will be careful in the future who he hangs around with. That's what happened.
He was hanging around with some people he shouldn't have been hanging around with."

Gov porn adviser denies pics he downloaded of nearly-naked girls, 10, are sexual
THE Prime Minister's advisor on online pornography downloaded sexual images of nearly naked girls as young as 10, a court heard.
Patrick Rock, 64, was part of the driving force behind the UK-wide porn clampdown when he was arrested for allegedly storing images of underage girls posing provocatively with their legs apart on his iPad.
But the Tory chief advisor on the government's child porn policy denied the images – some of girls wearing bikinis or tiny shorts – were indecent.
His lawyers claimed they were no worst than Britney Spears' schoolgirl getup in her music video Hit Me Baby One More Time.
Nine different girls in "erotic" clothing were found on his device, Southwark Crown Court heard this morning.
"He was looking, nothing more than looking"Defence lawyer Sasha Wass
Thomas Forster, prosecuting, said: "All the images are of young girls. When I say young I mean less than 18 years old and in all but one they were 14 years or younger when the images were downloaded.
"They must have been younger still when they were actually photographed.
"Each child is photographed in deliberate poses that were staged for the camera.
"The clothing the children are wearing is sometimes adult in style, indeed what an adult might consider sexualised or erotic clothing.
"The poses are deliberately sexual.
"They are scantily clothed and/or their legs are often open and/or they are showing their bottoms to the camera."
He added that the images were captioned with "suggestive" pseudonyms for the girls such as "Princess" and "Cutie".
He said officers tracked down the girls in the photos and determined the youngest, wearing "skimpy" clothing including hot pants in two images, was 10 years and four months when Rock was arrested.
The jury were shown pictures of the girls, some wore bikinis and bent over objects while others had their legs parted.
The oldest girl was 16 but all the others were aged 14 or under.
Sasha Wass QC, defending Rock, said the images were comparable to advertising campaigns and even to pop star Britney Spears in a hit music video.
She said: "You are being asked to judge whether a 64-year-old man who has never been in trouble should be criminalised for looking at clothed, young girls.
"Looking, nothing more than looking.
"Some of you will be old enough to remember a 16-year-old Britney Spears gyrating in a school uniform in the popular song Hit Me Baby One More Time.
"She was wearing provocative clothing and her her words movements could not have been more suggestive.
"Why was Mr Rock looking at pictures of young girls at all? We don't know but you can guess young girls are attractive.
"Some of these girls are cute and adorable and we live in a society where there's appeal placed on that.
Rock, of Fulham, west London, denies 20 counts of making indecent images of children in 2013 between July 31, 2013, and August 31, 2013.
The Crown Prosecution Service assessed the images as Level C, the least severe category.
The Recorder of Westminster, Judge Alistair McCreath, told jurors their role was to determine whether right thinking members of the public would believe the images are indecent.
He said: "There is a spectrum. At one end of it is the outright obscene and the other is that which is distasteful and somewhere in between is that which is indecent."
Rock spoke to say "not guilty" to the charges of making indecent images of children and chose not to give evidence.
He resigned as Mr Cameron's policy advisor after he was arrested in February 2014 by the National Crime Agency.
Rock was the deputy head of the No 10 Policy Unit and has been close to Mr Cameron for two decades.
The pair worked for Michael Howard when he was Home Secretary in the 1990s.
The jury have retired to consider their verdicts.

United Mobile, a reputable and popular name in the cellular phone mobile industry in Pakistan, has kicked off shipping smartphones online. At present, United Mobiles are only the sole distributors of Voice Mobile.
United Mobile has also joined hands with Lootlo.pk for selling smartphones in the country. Users availing the cell phones from Lootlo will be entitled to get accessories such as hands-free and power-banks on every handset purchase free of cost.
It is a good initiative as other major brands will also follow the online selling trend and may reach out to areas where their facilitation centers are otherwise not deployed.
This scheme will also enable customers to purchase products with legitimate and official prices. In toher words, better than the market prices once the online market is prospered and online buying gets more easy, popular and convenient.
It is worth to note that with the provision of online selling, handset makers' focus to sell products at cheap costs as variety of expenditures (utility cost, rental, work force) are not included in the business of online selling.
