Can't install network printer
This is a stupid problem, installing Canon ip1600...
I want to install a printer from an another computer, running XP, I have 7. When installing, windows doesn't find the driver, so it connects to windows update. There is also no driver so I'm prompted for an .inf file...
Ok, I download the driver from Canon, but they provide an exe, I'm unpacking it but unfortunately there's an another exe in the pack. This installs the driver, I say ok, win should find it.
I try again to connect to printer, but win still doesn't find the driver, always wants to download from update.
Why? There is a driver in the system, why win still wants to install again??????
I installed manually the printer, but it is mapped to some local lpt or com port, I'm unable to change to a network location, there is no such option.

Icefront, welcome to the windows 7 forums.
When you executed the .exe in the download from Canon, It could have created the .inf file in another directory.
Also, If you know the IP for the printer, you can create a new tcp/ip port by looking at the screen and selecting
add simple tcp/ip port at this prompt.

|31 Jul 2012
Sadly, there's no .inf file in the whole directory structure, there are only dll's. It's a kind of built-in install thing - as canon does with cameras and other stuff...
Okay, finally it worked, i found a hidden path...
Here is how. If somebody in the future will have this problem, here are the steps to follow:
Intro: you want to install a network printer. The other computer has different OS or different OS version, so the driver isn't compatible with yours. The manufacturer provides a proprietary install kit which installs the driver on the system, without checking physically the presence of the printer

News Release: For release October 6, 2014
The Utah Education Network (UEN) has launched a new digital television channel that carries Native American programming to virtually all areas of the state. FNX Channel (First Nations Experience) programming is broadcast 24/7 on UEN-TV channel 9.3.
FNX | First Nations Experience television network is proud to be surrounded by more than 150 tribes that call the Golden State their home. For almost 50 years, events have taken place across the state - on the last Friday of September - to celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of California's Native American people.
FNX | First Nations Experience television network has brought in its first set of accolades for its originally produced programming.
June 12, 2014, San Bernardino, CA - FNX, First Nations Experience, the first and only public TV network in the U.S. dedicated to Native American and World Indigenous content, has been approved as a full-time channel on the Public Television Interconnect System. This major advancement means public stations across the country will soon have satellite access to FNX. The Public Television Interconnection Committee approved the FNX request at the recent PBS Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
Shyralyn Marshall of Arizona's Hualapai and Havasupai Tribes was crowned on Friday, April 18 as the 2014-15 Miss Sherman. She won against seven other young ladies who were also vying for the title.
The 16-year-old junior is an athlete who plays a number of sports including softball and basketball for the all-Native American Sherman Indian High School in Riverside, Calif. She said she looks up to newly inducted WNBA player, Shoni Schimmel (Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla), as an inspiration.
The FNX | First Nations Experience television network is proud to announce it is now on air in Concho, Oklahoma with Cheyenne and Arapaho Television CATV47, making it the first tribal station to successfully carry the channel's signal.
Native Student Programs at the University of Redlands and FNX | First Nations Experience television network are partnering to host a screening of two episodes of "Native Shorts." The event is set to take place in the Casa Loma Room on University of Redlands campus. Screening starts at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25. The screening will be followed by a discussion / Q&A with FNX directors and producers.
FROM AGUA CALIENTE CULTURAL MUSEUM PRESS RELEASE - On Saturday, January 25, 2014, Agua Caliente Cultural Museum will present Singing the Birds (Wikitmallem Tahmuwhae): Bird Song & Dance Festival in Palm Springs High School gymnasium at 2401 East Baristo Road from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. This free public event hosted by Michael Mirelez (Desert Cahuilla) celebrates traditional bird singing and dancing.

The show website fnx.org/nativeshorts launches on Friday December 13th.

How to make 32KB at the beginning of the disk for TrueCrypt?
I have a GPT Disk, which starts with a 200 MB GPT Protective Partition.
It says that TrueCrypt needs 32KB at the beginning of the disk.
Does it mean another partition or an empty space in the beginning of the first partition?
Is it possible to empty the first 32 KB of GPT Protective Partition?
Would it be possible on an MBR Disk?
Does it need 32KB for each OS on the computer or just one is enough?

Applied sciences innovations abounded in 2011, but so much more to come with the Applied Sciences NYC tech and engineering campus on the horizon.
2011 has seen a number of inventions — from the digital personal assistant, Siri, to clothes made from milk; a malaria vaccine that's still in testing and an MRI that can recreate pictures of your dreams. Time Magazine is out with a list of the 50 best — on Here and Now, Time's Lev Grossman describes inventions that range from the ingenious to the downright weird.
Some picks from the list:
1.) The surveillance hummingbird– Engineers at AeroVironment created the Nano Air Vehicle, a surveillance prototype, wingspan 16.5 centimeters, designed to mimic a hummingbirds flight. It cost $4 million and is remote-controlled.
2.) Malaria vaccine: A team at Glaxo-SmithKline has found a malaria-vaccine candidate, it's in the trial stages of testing but is showing success at cutting the chances of a child contracting malaria by 50 percent. At this rate, it could be on the market in 2015.
3.) Better batteries: Researchers at PolyPlus have created a working lithium-water battery that could provide more energy than the standard lithium-ion battery in your phone.
4.) Stem cells from fat: Instead of throwing it out, fat that's vacuumed out during liposuction could be transformed into heart cells to compensate for dying tissue. Fat contains stem cells that can be turned into heart muscle in a lab dish, and now researchers have developed a method for extracting stem cells from a liposuction sample.
5.) Clothes made from milk: A German biologist and fashion designer named Anke Domaske has found a way to create clothing using a material that's made from sour milk. He extracts protein fibers from the milk, and spins it into yarn!

Are Republicans Dumb Enough to Demand a Repeal of the Health Bill in the 2010 Elections?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
FALLING IN THE REPEAL TRAP?.... Democrats really seem to hope that Republicans will not only attack health care reform in the 2010 elections, but will demand a full repeal of the legislation. To the Dems' delight, the GOP seems willing to play along.
Republicans candidates must run on repealing Democrats' healthcare reform bill in 2010, one of their top House members said Wednesday night.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, encouraged candidates to run on full-scale repeal of health reform, which he conceded was likely to pass.
"As Republicans present the nation with an alternative in 2010, our message on healthcare cannot be: 'We can fix and reform this bill,' " Ryan said at a lecture in Washington organized by the Michigan-based conservative Hillsdale College. "Our message must be: 'We will repeal and replace this government takeover masked as healthcare reform.'"
Steve Benen is "blogger in chief" of the popular Washington Monthly online blog, Political Animal . His background includes publishing The Carpetbagger Report, and writing for a variety of publications, including Talking Points Memo, The American Prospect, the Huffington Post, and The Guardian. He has also appeared on NPR's "Talk of the Nation," MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," Air America Radio's "Sam Seder Show," and XM Radio's "POTUS '08."

Voltron cosplay
This is apparently a better look at Carrie Keegan's Princess Allura cosplay from SDCC, and if I wasn't already conflicted about her role there as a token hot chick being used to legitimize a product vs. the fact that she IS a hot chick, the detail of her eyeliner trying to simulate anime eyes pushes me well into the camp of loathing her as a corporate media shill.
Which is to say, I'd still hit it, but she has to keep the helmet on. (She'll need it.)

Prime Minister Julia Gillard with Quentin Bryce at Government House after being sworn in as Australia s first female Prime Minister. Photo: Brendan Esposito
Political commentators have a way of noticing anniversaries and finding thoughts on their meaning. However, a recent anniversary seems to have passed by - noticed only, it seems, by me. September 7 was the second anniversary of Julia Gillard becoming a so-called ''elected'' prime minister.
Gillard became prime minister on the morning of June 24, 2010. A total of 112 Labor caucus members attended and it is worthwhile to speculate on what the numbers would have been if there had been a contest. My estimate (worked out at the time by talking to well-informed Labor officials) is that 90 votes would have been cast for Gillard and 22 for the then prime minister, Kevin Rudd.
Rather than advertise the extent to which his support had collapsed with his colleagues Rudd decided to go without a contest.
A tear wells in eye of the former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd during his press conference on June 24, 2010, after he was deposed by Julia Gillard. Photo: Andrew Meares
I think of Gillard as the most interesting prime minister we have ever had. After 26 men in the office that June day gave us our first woman. The other interesting feature of Gillard's prime ministership has been the sheer uncertainty at all times of her tenure.
Our most recent general election was held on August 21, 2010. It was our 43rd. It was also one of four very close elections, the other three having been in 1913, 1940 and 1961. The counting of votes and the declaration of seat results were quicker in 2010 than in those earlier years but the ''cliff-hanger'' period was the second-longest ever. Only in 1913 did Australians need to wait longer.
After 17 days of wheeling and dealing Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott gave their support to Gillard. On the morning of September 8, 2010, the Sydney Morning Herald, reporting on the events of the previous day, carried a large photo on its front page of a smiling Gillard looking her most attractive. The headline to the story was ''Gillard buys a second shot at power''.
Fast forward to Monday, February 27, this year. The caucus met and this time it did vote. The numbers were 71 for Gillard and 31 for Rudd, the caucus having been reduced by 10 due to election losses.
In the wake of the 2010 election it was conventional for pundits to say: ''This parliament will not last. An early election is inevitable''. I have never bought that. For two years now I have consistently been making four confident predictions. First, the next election will be held on October 26, 2013. Second, there will be no by-election during this, the 43rd Parliament. Third, Gillard will lead Labor into the 2013 election. Fourth, Tony Abbott will lead the Coalition into that election.
As to who will win I have never made any actual prediction, merely varying probability statements. My present statement is a 90 per cent chance for Abbott and a 10 per cent chance for Gillard.
Given the continuing uncertainty about Gillard's tenure I have been counting down the number of prime ministers her length of service has exceeded. There are 10 so far, Frank Forde for eight days in 1945, Earle Page for 20 days in 1939, John McEwen for 23 days in 1967-68, Arthur Fadden for one month and nine days in 1941, Chris Watson for three months and 21 days in 1904, George Reid for 10 months and 18 days in 1904-05, Joseph Cook for one year, two months and 25 days in 1913-14, Billy McMahon for one year, eight months and 25 days in 1971-72, Harold Holt for one year, t10 months and 23 days in 1966-67 and Labor's Jim Scullin during the Depression.
James Henry Scullin was prime minister for two years, two months and 16 days from October 22, 1929 to January 6, 1932.
In terms of greatness I have Gillard tentatively as our 16th greatest prime minister and Rudd at 17th. My order goes thus: Bob Menzies, John Curtin, Alfred Deakin, Andrew Fisher, Bob Hawke, Joe Lyons, Billy Hughes, John Howard, Ben Chifley, Stanley Bruce, Paul Keating, Malcolm Fraser, Gough Whitlam, Edmund Barton, Harold Holt, Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd.
However, if Gillard were to win the 2013 election I would raise her up to 10th place, one rung below Chifley and ahead of Keating and Whitlam.
I say that because, if she were to win in 2013, the Australian people would then have expressed approval of all her achievements. Instead of that it is very likely that all her achievements will be torn up by Abbott.
I began this article by saying that Gillard is two years an ''elected'' prime minister. There are those who disparage me about this. Such critics assert that one can only be an ''elected'' prime minister if one takes one's party out of Opposition and on to the Treasury benches at a general election.
On that way of looking at it we have had the following ''elected'' prime ministers since Canberra became our national capital. They are, in chronological order: Scullin, Lyons, Curtin, Menzies, Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Howard and Rudd.
On the conservative side Lyons served for seven years and three months, Fraser for seven years and four months, Howard for 11½ years and Menzies for just over 16 years in his ''elected'' (second) term.
Only Bob Hawke on the Labor side can match those conservatives. He served for eight years and nine months. If Abbott wins in 2013 he would be the fifth conservative prime minister to be ''elected'' to that office.
So, a final prediction: if he becomes prime minister Abbott will serve for six years, making him the least successful conservative ''elected'' as PM since Canberra became the national capital.

Incase you missed any of my previous TTC post you can read them here, here and here. So like I mentioned my last TTC blog, I planned on using Preseed if my BD everyday didn't work…. and it didn't. I was thinking about using OPK's but last minute decided it was too much for now (although I'm sure I would have implemented them eventually if I got another BFN). The cycle that got us our beloved BFP we did a few things differently.
First I bought some supplies:
- Preseed
- Vitex
- Robitussin
- Instead Softcups
Things I continued to use:
- Folic Acid
- Vitamin D
- Fruit & Veggie Shakes Daily
This time around we decided not to BD every day around and during O but instead we tried SMEP along with Preseed (only during fertile window as it's kinda pricey and wasn't sure how many cycles it would last) and we always used the Softcups after each BD and laid with my bum on pillows for 10-20mins (Hubby always gave me things to watch or do on my phone so I wouldn't get antsy or bored :), I took Vitex from AF until I got my BFP, and what I think really made the biggest difference is that I used Robitussin from AF to about a day before O (based on my O pains). I had read a ton (did I mention I'm obsessive? lol) about Robitussin helping with the thinning of your CM sort of acting the opposite of how birth control works by thickening it to prevent the little swimmers from penetrating the egg and since I was previously on the pill for over 12 years I thought it could't hurt to try for one cycle. And it WORKED!!! I did hear you can also Mucinex as well, the only kind of active ingredient should be Guaifenesin (for both Robitussin and Mucinex). My advice it just to read, read, read and figure out what your comfortable with trying out. For me it worked

Simple Summer Fashion Must Haves 2014
Even though it isn't officially summer I figured now is the perfect time to round up this seasons must have items. One of my personal faves is the Kimono. It's easy, breezy and can spruce up any casual outfit
If any of you have spent any amount of time on any social media site, you would have most definitely spotted the resurface of the Crop Top (which I also wrote about here)
Flipflops are probably one of my most annoying staples for summer even though I wish I spent the time putting on fabulous heels everyday, it just doesn't happen. Espcially when I spend most of my time walking (yes I know I should wear proper walking or running shoes but it's not happening lol). And luckily there are awesome trends to choose from so that your "comfy look" doesn't cramp your style.
Another great thing to have this summer is a pair of classic sunglasses. Nothing says "I'm in summer mode" like your favourite pair of sunnies. Raybans are by far the best frames for my face shape, it's super flattering and light. I really hate heavy glasses (including reading glasses) because they quickly give me sinus pressure and a looming headache
Getting Serious About Trying To Conceive (TTC)
Sooooooo it's been about 6 months since the hubby and I decided to start trying for our first child (technically not preventing but not really trying)… Although to be honest we have missed out on many windows of ovulation opportunities because of "life". Missing the perfect time because work just took a toll on us or simply cause we weren't both in the same place at the same time. But this cycle and any ones after, I plan to get super serious. Or as serious as I can get (minus temping because my sleep is never consistent)
As of right now I'm currently in my most fertile days (according to my Ovia app that I talked about here). We have baby-danced (sex for all those who aren't familiar with the lingo:) every day from cycle day 8 and we are on day 17. We are not using anything other than taking our vitamins (prenatals) and I started drinking raspberry leaf tea from the first day of AF (aunt flow) to the start of my fertile window since I'm not using any ovulation predictor kits(OPK).
If this cycle turns out to be a bust then I plan on following a more scientific plan. I will start using OPKs and Preseed (a lubricant that helps your mans sperm instead of killing them like most lubes) and go from there.
If any of you are interested in TTC (trying to conceive) then I suggest you check out my favorite sites to obsess over (just don't let you hubby know just how often you check it as he may think you've lost your mind. Which you may have. Baby fever can do that to the best of us
Also check out What To Expect Before You're Expecting, read it cover to cover in one sitting. It has a good starting point for all who are beginning their baby making journey. Good Luck and Baby Dust!!!
Happy Thoughts
Connecting With Your Baby When Trying To Conceive
As my husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past few months, I have found myself in constant search of anything pregnancy/baby related. And even though we haven't been trying for very long, it feels like forever, especially when my lovely in-laws are so excited to be grandparents that they ask often if there is any "news". Which there hasn't been. Inspite of the doctors telling me everything is looking good in my reproductive department So I assumed it was just a fate/timing thing. I figured that when my baby is ready for us we will know. In the mean time I plan on reading/watching anything that can help me bare the waiting game with more understanding and patience. (more…)
5 Ways To Rock A Crop Top: Spring/Summer 2014
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last year, you probably have noticed that crop tops have quickly made their way back into world of fashion.

But when done well, it can really be a fun item to add to your closet this season.

4 Nail Trends To Bring Into 2014
One of my favourite nail trends that has carried over into 2014 is to accent your ring finger as a stand alone color/texture from the rest of your uniform nails. It's a beautiful way to compliment your engagement ring and other accessories (like stackable rings) that you may want to showcase. (more…)
5 Lingerie Brands You Need To Know About
Yes. I said need. We all need to enjoy the little pleasures we have as women. And great lingerie is one of them. And although I enjoy occasional trips to Victoria's Secret, I have to admit I would much rather put myself into something sans padding. So instead of buying anything I can wear, I usually walk out with a boat load of their lip glosses… because they are just so yummy and do the greatest job of shining my lips And aside from the usual suspects like Agent Provocateur and ol'faithful La Perla, there are some great brands we need to get to know a little better… or maybe a lot better.

Attorney Ms. Milda Goeriz has handled my divorce case this fall and I was very pleased with her legal services. She is very professional and experienced in her field of practice. Her legal knowledge and timely advice were invaluable to the desired outcome of my complicated case. She responded to emails and calls without a delay and was flexible in scheduling appointments. I felt that my case was treated as a priotity at all times. I should definitely recommend her to future clients.
Milda Goeriz is an example of what the perfect attorney is. Extremely knowledgeable, informative(she was exceptionally fast on keeping me up to date with any changes to my divorce case), courteous and quick with results I had no worries about my divorce proceedings knowing that she was my attorney. Her performance with my case was stellar and I can honestly say that I don't know what I would have done without her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of an attorney.
I was considering filing for my divorce myself since there are websites out there that helps you prepare for them and my divorce was relatively simple. What I didn't realize, until I started researching the process, was how convoluted it was and how much paperwork you have to do. If you don't do divorce every day, then it becomes confusing real quick. Not to mention that you have to take time out of your schedule to go to the courthouse to file your paperwork ... and that line is so long!
I then realized that I couldn't do this by myself and started calling around for lawyers to help me. I found Milda through her ad on craigslist and she was the ONLY one that I spoke to that was willing to work with me regarding her attorney fees (and they are VERY reasonable compared to some out there - I won't mention any names, but you know who you are).
She was able to work with me regarding my divorce, kept me informed all throughout the process, filed my paperwork, and even answered my questions AFTER my divorce was finalized. She made it virtually pain-free. She's so awesome! I highly recommend Milda for all your divorce needs.

Kennesaw Mountain: Sherman, Johnston, and the Atlanta Campaign (Civil War America)by Earl J. Hess
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
While fighting his way toward Atlanta, William T. Sherman encountered his biggest roadblock at Kennesaw Mountain, where Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee held a heavily fortified position. The opposing armies confronted each other from June 19 to July 3, 1864, and Sherman initially tried to outflank the Confederates. His men endured heavy rains, artillery duels, sniping, and a fierce battle at Kolb's Farm before Sherman decided to directly attack Johnston's position on June 27. Kennesaw Mountain tells the story of an important phase of the Atlanta campaign.
"Hess (The Civil War in the West) relates in exacting detail a grueling stop along General Sherman's Atlanta Campaign of the Civil War. The book focuses on the Kennesaw Mountain area, beginning with a battle at Kolb's Farm, through a harrowing day of fighting on June 27, 1864, and on to a flanking maneuver that finally convinced Sherman and General Johnston, the Rebel commander, to step back from what seemed like a two-week-long stalemate. Hess supports his assertion that the earthworks of Johnston's Rebel forces were instrumental in slowing Sherman down, and while it couldn't be called a victory for either side (the Union counted 3,000 'killed, wounded, and missing,' and the Confederates tallied 700 casualties), the superior works of the Rebels were impressive — even Union commanders acknowledged it. The Kennesaw engagement can be seen as a textbook example of the importance of earthworks, and Hess describes the whole scenario in enough detail that it's easy to see why they were so vital. With plenty of maps and primary sources — including diaries, letters, and dispatches — readers will be engrossed by the personal story of these soldiers. Civil War buffs and those interested in military history will take to this gripping account. 25 illus., 21 maps, 1 table." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Conrail owned 60 of this 3,000 horsepower dynamic brake equipped model from GE. All were of New York Central heritage and Penn Central ownership and were built between December of 1966 and December of 1967. The last of the fleet was retired in 1983 and while a number of units were scrapped, several managed to escape to serve on various shortlines, some of which may still exist.
BICR-8 has just resumed its eastward trek toward Croxton Yard after making a NYS&W setoff. Note: The shatterd window in the door!!!
TV-16 hustles south through Haworth, NJ 4/16/78
Conrail power was no stranger to P&LE's Gateway yard in Struthers, Ohio, a holdover from the days of NYC control of the P&LE. Power off the New England Bow coal trains could often be seen here, including this example of Conrail U30B 2830, Boston and Maine GP-18 1750, B&M GP-9 1719, and a Conrail U23B. Little remains of the P&LE today.
Conrail leased many units from Precision National Corp in those first couple of years to help it through the power crunch. Here in Akron, Ohio a pair of CR U30B's have a pair of PNC geeps between them as they back up to their train on the former EL. In order : 2831, 545, 562, 2881.

The Green Bay Packers rookie orientation weekend got under way when the rookies arrived in Wisconsin yesterday to settle in and continued today when each of the players completed physicals, attended meetings and got acquainted with the facilities.
Simple things, such as how to get into the building at various hours during the day and night, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, were gone through with the rookies. Other team meetings, the opportunity to rub elbows with veterans and the chance to get onto the field today were all experienced by the young players.
Coach McCarthy was impressed, telling reporters tonight that they were off to a good start. He also said that first-rounder Datone Jones and second-rounder Eddie Lacy were very welcome in Green Bay. Though they are the only two of the drafted rookies who haven't signed contracts, Jones and Lacy were on the field running through drills with the rest of their teammates.
Reporters were at the session and photographs were allowed. We've posted a few below for your perusal. No doubt, more will be coming in the weeks to follow, especially when the team holds OTAs in the next couple of weeks.
As Packers fans, I think we're all excited about this time of year … good times are ahead.

OKLAHOMA CITY – San Antonio comes into play the Thunder having won 11 in a row.
The Thunder haven't lost at home this season in six games.
A playoff teaser?
"We'll both be different teams come playoff time," Spurs coach Greg Popovich said. "This is a time for learning.
"I think every game, no matter who you play, is a measuring stick. Improvement is what we're all interested in. doing things consistently. It matters how you're playing."
Both teams are playing pretty well, too. Russell Westbrook returns for the Thunder. He got the game off on Sunday against the Jazz just for rest. OKC coach Scott Brooks said Westbrook will start tonight.
Meanwhile, the Thunder didn't miss him. OKC ran away from Utah and improved to 9-3 overall and 6-0 at home.
Wednesday marks the fourth game in a six-game home stand. Golden State plays here Friday and then Minnesota comes in Sunday.
But for now, this Spurs-Thunder matchup feels like a playoff atmosphere. San Antonio is 13-1 overall and 6-1 on the road.
At the same time, we'll both be different teams come playoff time. This is a time for learning.

Excellent doctor. He took the time to listen and did a great job fixing my problem.

No!!!! I would never go back to this office for any god given reason!!! I always encounter a answering service that can't give me a straight answer. Isn't that their job? After waiting over 2 weeks and calling multiple times to confirm my appointment, plus driving over a hour for it, I arrive and they tell me my appointment has in fact...been cancelled! HOW?! Print outs of my call were even shown, no one in the office could give me any info. Someone made a CRITICAL mistake and not one person did anything to accommodate me in pain. If you want to deal with an incompetent backwards group, by all means, go take a chance! I've been working in the healthcare business for over 10 years and it's a shame when I need treatment myself, it's treated like a joke. I can't stress how frustrating and poor my experiences have been into poor words. No chance! Stay away!!!

Dr Kavanagh was wonderful, kind and patient with my aunts hip surgery. She feels great and Dr. K was very understanding because she was in a lot of pain. He is someone I would def consider if I needed surgery.

On July 1st delegates from the Central Atlantic Conference joined delegates from the 37 other UCC conferences at the 28th General Synod in Tampa, Florida. Over the next five days the General Synod will consider 13 resolutions and major revisions of the Constitution and Bylaws. These decisions will guide the direction of the church for years to come.
The changes in the Constitution and Bylaws were proposed by a Unified Governance Working Group which sought to streamline the organizational bodies of the church to increase efficiency and save resources. There are strong voices both for and against the reorganization. If the proposed changes are accepted, the UCC will go from four ministry boards to one unified board. This will decrease meetings costs substantially, but one consequence will be fewer voices at the table. Some wonder whether having fewer people at the table will mean that valued experiences and perspectives are left out of the conversation.
In addition to the reorganization the Synod will consider a resolution called "Common Agreement on Mutual Recognition of Baptism." After seven years of talks among leaders of Reformed denominations, including the Presbyterian USA, Reformed Church of American, UCC, and the Catholic Church, this agreement would affirm that Baptism performed in any of these churches be recognized as true baptism in any of the other churches. If affirmed this will be a great stride forward in ecumenical ministry.
You can follow the decisions of the General Synod online click here for all things Synod – resolutions, news, worship, webcasts. This is our church at work.

Now that autumn is on its way, expect an upswing in knocks on your front door by workmen eager to repair your home. Some will spread old motor oil on your driveway and call it "repaving." Others, apparently blessed by x-ray vision that allows them to see water leaks on your ceiling from a passing pick-up, will apply paint to your shingles and claim it's a roof repair.

" Sony Walkman NW-E207P - Digital player - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3 - pink "
Is it a kidney bean, is it a beeper, no its the Sony NW-E207. A rather oddly shaped player which is unique and does make a fashion statement. The uncommon shape, means that additional features would be hard to implement. The shape of the player does help in making it easier to hold the player to a certain extent, because the bean shape is quite ergonomic in relation to the hand.
The tiny display screen is only capable of displaying basic track information in the form of text. It does not support the viewing of videos nor photos.
Its battery stamina is impressive, on average providing up to 52 hours of continuous audio playback. It takes about 1 and a half hours to fully charge the player. The player also allows you to use its quick charge functions which basically involves charging the player for a short period of time of bout 3 minutes which would be about 90 minutes of continuous audio playback. When using the supplied headphones, the sound quality is acceptable, upon using an additional pair of headphones, there was a huge improvement in the quality of sound especially with more rich treble that is clear and less distorted.
The player supports audio files in the Atrac 3 and MP3 file format, which needs to be transferred using the supplied software, that is quite easy to understand and use. The file transfer speed could be faster, on average taking about 1.6 seconds to transfer 10 megabytes of audio files.
The NW-E207 is a Walkman Bean with 1 GB internal flash memory which features a USB direct plug and an OLED display.
Transfer up to 45 CD's onto the internal memory thanks to ATRAC3plus compression technology;
Rechargeable (Lithium-Ion) battery with a stamina of up to 50 hours;
Quick charge function: 3 minutes charging is sufficient for 3 hours playback time;
Bright and clear 1-line OLED display for easy navigation.

|To develop housing designs that respond to the desert climate with openness, while protecting from its harsh elements.
Located 10 miles from the Las Vegas Strip and 15 miles from the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, The Enchantment Way is a development of ecovacation houses. Six 3500 square-feet houses and one 5,000 square-feet house on a 5-acre parcel in the southwest portion of the Las Vegas valley are to be a new way to experience vacationing in Las Vegas. The Enchantment Way provides visitors with easy access to both the gaming and entertainment of the resort corridor, and outdoor recreation of the surrounding areas. The environmentally conscious tourist can stay in the privacy of houses designed to utilize natural ventilation, natural materials, day-lighting, chemically sensitive building materials, and native landscape, connecting them to a sense of peace and wellness.
The natural beauty and extreme climatic conditions of the Mojave Desert drive the aesthetics of the homes, which utilize thick, straw bale walls, deep roof overhangs, protected indoor/outdoor spaces, and warm desert colors. The simple interior spaces are flexible enough to create a comfortable, casual relaxation experience, or as an entertaining venue. Each of the rental houses has two master bedrooms with master baths, three bedrooms, full Kitchen, dining, living and laundry rooms, along with a three car garage, and pool. Combining the kitchen, living, and dining areas into a great room allows for a flex space to be. This area could be used for a family on vacation or entertaining clients if a corporation would lease the whole complex. Each layout has its own unique way of connecting the great room to the outdoors. The Enchantment Way 2, 3, 5 and 6 all have two different exterior courts off their great rooms, creating spaces that would be better suited for different types of functions and/or different times of the year.

10 If you want to know if we actually tested the Passon 855, the answer is yes. We thrashed on this thing hard for a little more than a year, and went through a couple of rear ends. The transmission saw daily driving, high rpm shifting, and made several passes down the quarter mile. This thing's a keeper.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California by holding that defenders of California's gay marriage ban did not have the right to appeal lower court rulings striking down the ban.
The court's 5-4 vote Wednesday leaves in place the initial trial court declaration that the ban is unconstitutional. California officials probably will rely on that ruling to allow the resumption of same-sex unions in about a month's time.

So I was using a mod to add some female models today, and a bunch of people wanted details, so here's the scoop.
Farshar talked a bit about this in one of the TF2 episodes. Everybody thinks having a female option would be awesome, and Valve said they'd do it as long as the size, silhouette, style, and hitboxes of the female models are identical to the male ones. So three people (ChemicalAlia, AyesDyef, and DustyOldRoses) decided to make it happen. They've finished the Medic, Heavy, Scout, and Spy as individual mods, and are working on the others. These will most likely be the models Valve will eventually include in the full game, after maybe editing or polishing them a bit, once the team finishes making one for every class (though they said they're not making a female pyro because pyro is genderless).
That being said, here's links to the mods if you want to use them yourself. I know a lot of people wanted to check them out. Follow all the instructions on the download page to install.

The scout doesn't look much like a female.
The spy one looks the coolest.March 16, 2012 at 3:43 am #19622
That's one sexy looking spy.March 16, 2012 at 5:55 am #19631
I don't know, I kind of like what they did with the scout. Honestly, that IS what I think the scout would look like as a female, sort of a tomboyish look with short hair.
Also hope they go with bandana female engineer, as it sets her apart from her male counterpart more.March 16, 2012 at 11:13 am #19650
Ah, that makes more sense.March 16, 2012 at 5:13 pm #19697
Question: When using a spy and disguise yourself, will you change gender?
I hope the answer is yes, otherwise it will be tricky to blend in if there are many/low amount of men/woman playing.
Female spy is awesome!
Once females are added to the shop, you know one new item that will be for sale…lipstick ;)

- This reply was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by gukingofheart.
Probably guking. When you disguise as a spy, you take on the look of a specific person from the opposing team. You get their name, health, weapons, and hats/other cosmetics. Gender seems like an easy thing to tack on there.

They're promoting great recipes which ANYONE can cook, not just those with culinary master talents. We shot it around Huddersfield of all places and it was a really fun day. It was a welcome challenge for me to work on something new, rather than my usual roots. Although it was a music video the script and concept appealed to me just for the fact that it was something that really didn't take itself too seriously. If you like the video and you are interested in maybe cooking some easy and extremely tasty meals then head over to the blog now for more information. www.gocookyourself.com Thanks to Dan and Rob Goodswen for their continued support.

Credit models get even more complicated
This is the kind of thing which makes Nassim Taleb tear his hair out. The 32-page, equation-filled IMF paper on new developments in credit risk modelling (which, yes, spends a lot of time on Gaussian copulas) seems to accept as an article of faith that the problem with credit risk models was that they weren't sophisticated and complicated enough.
One thing I'm quite sure of: the kind of equations being flung around in this paper are not going to be intuitively understood by underpaid regulators. This could then constitute a good test of any new regulatory regime: will the regulators roll over and say "oh well you're very clever we're sure you know what you're doing", or will they slap down any attempt to use these newfangled models to persuade regulators that everything's perfectly safe? I do hope it's the latter.
Update: A reader finds a classic quote on page 19 of the paper:
With sufficient detailed information, it is possible to design an optimal algorithm that generates contagion in the network and, therefore, correlation and multiple defaults, following the failure of one or more firms to honor its liabilities.
Yes, people still believe in "optimal algorithms", even now, even after all we've been through.

actually, this paper is mild on the math. anyone working in credit needs to already know this (e.g., Merton)…math isn't a bad thing…
it is pretty advanced for the basel II gnomes, remember they think that correlations are STATIC…
Here is a reality check on precision implied in credit risk modeling.
http://williamwild.blogspot.com/2009/08/ implied-precision-in-pd.html
David, I think anyone working in credit needs to actually try to understand the company whose risk they are taking.
When I look at these papers, they seem very clever and interesting. As ways of looking at these investments and risks, they could be useful in a heuristic sense. But I'm amazed that people invest using these models. Although using math, they don't seem to generate precision. On the other hand, as I said, they are interesting ways of viewing these investments. But I'm no expert. I do think that everyone would get something out of reading the paper.
However, I'm sure that I could find people who could help me more clearly understand the points being made and how dicey they are for real world use. I would certainly do this before allowing someone to spend my money, especially if I had a lot.
Some of these equations are the foundations of Basel II, so the regulators would know them.
Over-reliance on model in socials sciences is bad, but turning regulators and bankers into Luddites is not much better either
Felix, the FT had a good editorial on the prevalence of deferring to numbers in executive decision-making today. Makes some points that are germane here…
Just remember ladies & gentlemen: GiGo. You could have David Shaw and James Simons working at the SEC or any other regulator but the complexity of the models/math is irrelevant when the assumptions are rooted-in nonsense. I remember doing refis and acquisitions where debt/EBITDA (sometimes just senior debt!) was modeled to ramp-up to 12x post-deal, and these weren't LBO deals, they were corporate! A few tweaks in the underlying assumptions though and the deal got down to 6x with 4 strokes of the keyboard.
I don't have the answer (yet?) but I'm quite certain there is, and will continue to be an inverse correlation between complexity of teh maths/models and regulators' ability to actually do their job.
Who needs these fancy credit models when internet aggregators can provide you with a free credit score
Oops – sorry wrong thread.
This is another alarming sign that the Panglossian paradigm of efficient markets and the magic equations that describe them have survived the Great Recession. Indeed, the hydra has grown additional heads, or at least terms…
William: tell me more about this "understanding the company you are lending to" idea of yours; I believe that it may have applications to equity investment.
right. on the other hand, modeling risk isn't a complete waste of time, and I'd rather have models that incorporate "contagion in the network" than not. What you make of these models, is another matter.
The math allows us to deceive ourselves and pretend to know much more than we do.
Felix, an interesting perspective on this dilemma may come from the hard sciences. Regulators were designed and commissioned to regulate the activities of relatively benign financial institutions, with tools more akin to Newtonian physics than the Quantum Calculus that now seems to be required.
Management must seek to understand the implications of their decisions. When a portfolio consists of 6,000-10,000 loans, that is one thing – mundane, predictable, and "modelable." However, when the portfolio and securitizations and hedges value at 1,000 or 10,000 times the size of that "Newtonian" portfolio, something changes in the game. A model can predict behavior, but it will, under no circumstances, provide any more clarity than Newtonian calculus in an Einsteinian context.
Just a thought, but perhaps we had best prepare ourselves for the contingency that behemoth banking is simply beyond prudent capability – I am not saying we can't do it, we clearly are doing it – rather I am saying that it isn't a good idea, systemically.
Limitations. We have them.
I keep reading that quote in the update, and failing to understand. It seems to be saying "We can do better at causing widespread disaster," but that makes no sense at all. Are they perhaps pointing out that the downside effects of the algorithms also have to be taken into account?
By the way, when I say that these models can be interesting, I'm referring to this paper by Li especially:
http://www.defaultrisk.com/_pdf6j4/On%20 Default%20Correlation-%20A%20Copula%20Fu nction%20Approach.pdf
Here's the point:
"There exist three methods to obtain the term structure of default rates:
(i) Obtaining historical default information from rating agencies;
(ii) Taking the Merton option theoretical approach;
(iii) Taking the implied approach using market prices of defaultable bonds or asset swap spreads."
It strikes me that looking at these products and risks through these various methods can be quite interesting, even if dubious for actual investing.
Read it last night. Turns out to be a nicely-written & succinct primer on the state of credit risk models; including highlighting drawbacks (e.g., Gaussian copula).
highlights @ http://www.bionicturtle.com/learn/articl e/imf_on_recent_advances_in_credit_risk_ modeling_credit/
"seems to accept as an article of faith that the problem with credit risk models was that they weren't sophisticated and complicated enough."
This freakes me out. Looks like people do not understand that complexity generates chaos. Conversely, to fight chaotic behaviour one needs regulation and simplicity…

CHICAGO (Reuters) -The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention said on Tuesday they found smallpox vials from the
1950s in a Food and Drug Administration storage building in
Bethesda, Maryland, and transferred them to the CDC's
high-containment laboratory in Atlanta on July 7.
The CDC said there is no evidence that the vials have been
breached, and biosafety officials have so far not found any
evidence of risk to lab workers or the public.
The mishandling of smallpox, a highly infectious agent,
follows the CDC's recent mishap in which the agency believed it
may have transferred live anthrax samples to a CDC lab that was
not equipped to handle them, potentially exposing dozens of
employees to the pathogen.
In the case of smallpox, the vials were discovered in an
unused portion of a storage room of an unsecured FDA lab on the
National Institutes of Health's campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
The NIH on July 1 reported the presence of the vials to the
CDC's Division of Select Agents and Toxins.
The CDC said scientists discovered the vials while preparing
to move the lab to the FDA's main campus. The vials appear to
date to the 1950s.
The smallpox specimens have since been transferred to a CDC
high-containment facility in Atlanta.
The CDC said it has notified the World Health Organization
about the discovery. The United States and Russia are the two
official repositories for smallpox designated by the WHO.
