What I want is a logo pronouncing 'EduGeek' with the two e's opposed and angled to look like angry eyes! You can put red pupils in them if you like. They must fit in the top box and use the same background colour.
We will also need 3 graphics using the same logo for EduGeek News, EduGeek Stuff and Site News. Just as displayed on the nes summaries. They must be 68px wide by 66 high. I will display entries later in the week and get them in place over the weekend.
Please help with this one as It's something I've been wating to do for a while now but never had the talent (time).


text: Quality entertainment vs. polemical shovels to the face by John Hayward 3 Apr 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to Ben Howe is Right: Interesting that you'd bring up "Atlas Shrugged"... I enjoyed it a good deal more than you evidently did, but I wasn't blind to its flaws. (Absurdly stiff and didactic heroes, to be sure, but the villains did have a certain chilling plausibility.) For the purposes of this discussion, it's important to note that those flaws were unnecessary, and they got in the way of whatever else the movie was trying to accomplish. It's not so much a question of production values - it was a low-budget movie, but it looked good enough. Better actors would have helped. Was that more a question of budget limitations, or did it signal the need for more creative casting agents? (I haven't seen Part 2 yet, but I understand they used a different cast, so maybe that issue has been addressed.) Above all else, "Atlas Shrugged" suffered from being a clumsy adaptation. The problem was screenwriting, and that doesn't have to be an expensive problem to fix. (I don't hear a lot of talk about super-rich screenwriters.) More specifically, the writers did not do a good job of intriguing the audience and drawing them into the story. It was, as you noted, a polemical shovel in the face from the very first scene. Just to highlight the most glaring flaw, John Galt should have been a compelling figure of mystery. The disappearances he was involved in should have been left a sinister enigma until a huge, stunning reveal at the end of the film. The audience should have been intensely curious to know what he was up to, and fearful that it was something utterly nefarious. Was he killing those people? Why did he target those people? The "hook" for this story should not have been so frail that it left anyone checking their watch or wandering out of the theater, especially not when that hook is summed up in a tag line that appealed to generations of fans, and was prominently featured in advertising for the movie: "Who is John Galt?" We could pick apart all sorts of other problems with "Atlas Shrugged," but the bottom line is that excessive fidelity to the source material kept them from crafting an interesting adaptation within the time constraints of a movie, crafted in a way that would invite those unfamiliar with the story to follow its narrative. (With all due respect to the Ayn Rand fan base, I think the whole story could have been tackled in one film, with sufficient trimming.) As I wrote earlier, you can give an audience questions as a gift, but they recoil when answers are shoved down their throats, as countless liberal polemicist filmmakers have learned to their sorrow. Less didactic protagonists who undertake a compelling personal journey to solve a great mystery could have been used to invite "Atlas Shrugged" viewers along for a memorable experience. Ideology-spouting robots are not going to win over many people who didn't already know the story, and just wanted to see it recited by well-tailored actors.

Save Gustavus Nordic Skiing
Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota is removing Nordic Skiing as a varsity sport. Although we are still being relegated to a club team, it does us, nor the college any good to have a non-NCAA competitive team. The team is devastated by this news and is trying to do everything in its power to and fight this.
Michael Bourne
There are currently 9000 high school students participating in high school skiing. 4000 of them in Minnesota. There are currently 26 schools offering NCAA level competition, 10 of them are D3 liberal arts colleges. The college has a wonderful opportunity to provide an experience that is found in very few other places. A marketing dream. Who do you attract. Generally a focused, driven student with good time management skiils. A student that has been mentored by his community and is very likely to be a mentor to their younger colleagues. A person who is health conscious in an otherwise declining health world. A student, because of the nature of the sport, is environmentally aware of the need for clean and open space for recreation. In my experience, a student who is more likely to volunteer to help with mentoring or helping the community. What more can you ask for in a student you are trying to attract to your school. You have a perfect niche sport to attract students with stellar personality traits. Students you know that you will be proud of as alumnae. Be proud of what your school has produced and keep the nordic program as a NCAA competitive sport
Thomas Kendrick
Suddenly cutting the Gustavus Nordic Ski program is not just hard for the current members of the Gustavus ski team, but it is a huge setback for the ski community of the Midwest as a whole. Minnesota has possibly the best high school ski program in the country, and it is a huge shame that without Gustavus there will now only be two NCAA nordic ski programs in the state of Minnesota that offer both men's and women's skiing. Great people from the Midwest work long and hard at skiing and academics through High School, let's try to keep them around for college!
James McLean
I attend CSB/SJU, a MIAC school that once had Nordic Skiing, which was cut in a similar fashion to what is currently going on to our Gustie friends. In our research and hope to preserve our own sport, we found that Nordic Skiing brought the top students at our school that not only excelled in academics but also in other sports such as Cross Country Running and Track & Field. By eliminating Nordic Skiing, Gustavus' Administration will be at great risk of losing talented prospective students who would enrich the school's classes and sports arenas. Do not limit the scope of who would like to attend your school, keep Nordic Skiing alive.

One of my students Annie, a shy student hesitant to speak English in class, helped me realize this about ETA4. During a class break, looking over class journals, Annie began asking me questions about where I live, what I like to do, and what "America" was like. The next day, in her journal Annie wrote about our conversation. It was reading her entry that made me understand why I had come to Taiwan. She explained how she never talked in class because her English was "bad" but that talking to me made her really happy, that she wanted to try to speak in English more, and that, perhaps, she could even come to America sometime to visit me and speak more English. It seems so simple and maybe not even anything special to the average person reading this, but to me this is the essence which makes me come to tears when I think of 'my kids' in Taiwan. To volunteer with ETA4 is to make relationships like these. Ones that encourage students who believe they have so little realize they can dream and be anything they set their minds to. They can speak English, they realize. They can travel to another country, they realize. They can, they realize, do so much more than they ever imagined.
A similar realization dawned on me too during this moment. I began to realize that I can, along with every other individual, offer so much to others. That I can truly make a impact on the lives of others. I think sometimes that many people feel they don't have the means, the aptitude, or the special skills to truly make a difference in the world. But thats so untrue. I believe ETA4, which emphasizes passion to help others more than anything, embraces this. As an organization it provides an overall greater understanding for both its volunteers and students about their extraordinary capabilities.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My everyday life. I now have a greater appreciation for my surroundings and own personal abilities. Each time I think of my students in Taiwan, I am not only brought to tears by memories of them but I am motivated to do my best because I know that's what they are doing themselves. I have become more aware of the precious opportunities I have been given in my life and I appreciate them more fully than ever. Most importantly, I believe in helping others as the most precious gift to oneself and the others.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
ETA4 is still a very young organization and as a result, has some structural issues to still be smoothed over. Improvements can be made by improving communications with volunteers, delegating tasks among members, and solidifying certain details of the various projects. Overall, these improvements will help ETA4 grow as an organization as it already has the passion and soul necessary for success.

Changes are abundant for the Woodlan volleyball program.
Among them are the Warriors will drop from Class 3A to 2A this year.
"I tell them every game that they have an opportunity," Woodlan coach Lindsay Roth said. "We go down to 2A this year, and that's an opportunity in itself to face a different group of people at the end of the season."
Roth, the former Lindsay Enterline, went through a change herself in the offseason when she got married to former Indiana University men's basketball player Matt Roth.

The Deep Freeze Mice
~ Group
The Deep Freeze Mice were an English new wave band that were active between 1979 and 1989. They were based in Leicester, and consisted of the core members Alan Jenkins (guitars and singing), Sherree Lawrence (organ and other keyboards), and Mick Bunnage (bass guitar). The band had two different drummers over the years: Graham Summers and Pete Gregory.
The band released 10 albums during their existence on their own labels: from 1979 to 1983 on Mole Embalming Records, from 1983 to 1989 on Cordelia Records. Their music was odd, often consisting of absurd and surreal lyrics delivered in Alan's deadpan voice accompanied by bouncy pop/progressive rock music. Favoured lyrical concerns included animal rights, conformity, and science fiction.
Alan Jenkins was also a member of The Chrysanthemums in the late 1980s, and joined up with members of Po! and The Ammonites in Jody & The Creams (later as "Alan Jenkins & The Creams") and Ruth's Refrigerator. He has played guitar with The Thurston Lava Tube since 2001.Continue reading at Wikipedia... Wikipedia content provided under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-SA license

Canoe Ridge Vineyards may have more time than originally believed -- but only by a few days.
A spokeswoman for international drinks company Diageo Plc, which owns Canoe Ridge under its Diageo Chateau & Estate wines umbrella, said the public tasting room at the Cherry Street winery will operate for another week.
Word initially was that the tasting room, started by a group of local investors as one of the first 10 wineries in the Valley before it changed hands among larger beverage companies, was expected to close Friday.
Diageo spokeswoman Kristen Crofoot said the tasting room's last day will be next Wednesday.
Company officials have said they plan to continue Canoe Ridge's wine production, but that the tasting room is closing as part of a cost-cutting initiative at a half-dozen wineries from California to Washington. The company's wine sales were reportedly hit by the recession and have been slow to rebound. Diageo also owns Smirnoff, Guinness and Jos Cuervo, as well as a number of other beverages.
The Department of Revenue will offer a free tax workshop for new and small-business owners Thursday.

text: Durban - The first official match at Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium saw ten-man Maritzburg United claim a 1-0 victory over regional rivals AmaZulu in an Absa Premiership match on Sunday afternoon. Fadlu Davids scored the winning goal for the Team of Choice. Though not a particularly memorable match, played in very wet conditions, it was a historic occasion that marked the opening of a brand new venue that will be one of the showpiece stadiums at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Maritzburg's Brice Aka was the first to try his luck at goal with a quick turn and shot from all of 30 metres out that skidded well wide of Mbongeni Mzimela's goal posts. The hosts' Sibusiso Hadebe tested Tashrique Goldman with a long range volley on 17 minutes but the Maritzburg goalkeeper made a comfortable save. Just before the half hour mark United were reduced to 10 men when right-back Peter Petersen was shown a straight red card. A great pass from midfield had given Hadebe a clean run on goal and he looked set to outpace Petersen, only for the defender to put his hand across the winger's chest and haul him to ground. Referee Charl Theron really had no other option than to show Petersen a red card, despite strong protestations from the Team of Choice. Usuthu looked to take immediate advantage of their numerical superiority, as Marc van Heerden and Brad Ritson went close with a free kick and glancing header respectively, but the visitors soon re-organised at the back when Noah Chivuta was sacrificed for the more defensive-minded James Madidilani. The Team of Choice showed great composure and character to frustrate AmaZulu, who obviously enjoyed the majority of possession thanks to having the extra man on the park. The visitors were dealt a further blow ten minutes into the second half when influential winger Felix Obada had to be substituted after being stretchered off with a knee injury. However, Maritzburg shocked AmaZulu by taking the lead with just under 20 minutes to play. A free kick from Madidilani was headed over the goal line by Fadlu Davids, only for Mzimela to haul the ball back, but Brice Aka was on hand with a mistimed volley that looped beyond the goalkeeper's left hand and confirmed that the Pietermaritzburg-based side was 1-0 up. Defender Byron Hendricks, strangely enough, was officially credited with the goal, though it was certainly Davids who got the header. The Team of Choice remained resolute in defence in the remainder of the game and held off Usuthu with relative comfort to claim a famous 1-0 win over their KwaZulu-Natal rivals. Maritzburg leapfrog AmaZulu and move into 12th place. AmaZulu 0 Maritzburg United (0) 1 (Davids 71') AmaZulu: (4-4-2) Mzimela; Bukasa Kasongo, Mkhonza, Bishop, van Heerden; N.

Williamsburg House Rental Photos and Description
Secluded Setting close to EVERYTHING! 3BR-3BA *Sleeps 8*
The Grand Traverse Region is one of the TOP PLACES TO VISIT! Originally known as the cherry capital of the world, it is now home to numerous vineyards and wineries, miles and miles of pristine shoreline, nationally recognized events--such as the National Cherry Festival, the Michael Moore Film Festival and the distinction of being the Most Beautiful Place in America (our Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore). This home, while boasting a serene and peaceful setting, is in the middle of all of this!
This property abuts the Whitewater Township Park, which has 150 acres of wooded trails, 2,000+ feet of shoreline along Elk Lake, and a public boat launch and swim area. Elk Lake is your entry point to the "Chain of Lakes", a 55+mile watershed of 14 interconnected lakes and rivers, including the infamous Torch Lake Sandbar. Rent a boat for the week from one of the many local marinas.
Within a 5 minute drive, you'll find the $90 Million Turtle Creek Casino with gaming and nightlife; world renowned golf at the Grand Traverse Resort; the quaint village of Elk Rapids-with its many eclectic shops and beautiful riverfront; and Pearl's Restaurant, a local favorite for New Orleans cuisine—don't forget to order the crawfish adorned Bloody Mary!
My concept is to provide you a home away from home. The idea is to pull up, drop your bags and begin your perfect vacation!
This home has a large open floor plan with vaulted cathedral ceilings and bamboo floors throughout. There are many multiple areas for gathering and relaxing.
The kitchen, open to the dining room, is fully equipped with everything you will need to entertain and enjoy a carefree vacation: dishes, utensils, cookware, glassware. The dining table can seat 6. The granite counter top bar area seats 4. The bay window is often full of fresh herbs.
Relax with a cocktail in the formal living room. Enjoy the view from the bank of bright windows. Unwind and read a book, or watch the large screen television with surround sound.
There is a recently remodeled full bath on the main floor--conveniently located. It has a large tiled shower that is very accessible (a low edge). Towels and linens are provided.
There is a computer nook for those desiring a private work space. DO keep work to a minimum! ;)
The main floor bedroom is large and airy and has a king size bed and private bath. The shower and stool are isolated from the double vanity sink area....so sharing space while getting ready for an outing is a breeze. The room also has a very large walk in closet with iron & ironing board.
The 2nd bedroom, on the upper level, has a double bed and a trundle bed. The room could comfortably sleep 4.
The 3rd bedroom, on the upper level, has a double bed and overlooks the woods & lawn.
The 3rd bathroom, on the upper level, is located between the two bedrooms. It has a step in shower/tub, vanity and stool.
There are two decks outside. The front deck is great for sunning--it never has any shade. Bring your sun tan lotion! The side deck is large, located immediately off the kitchen French doors and is partially shaded by noon. It has an umbrella table and chairs as well as additional cushioned chairs. There is also a gas grill on the deck, the perfect place for a summer barbecue.
The property has ample space for parking. The driveway is large and asphalt paved. There is a basketball hoop for the kids and a fire pit area for roasting s'mores. Beach volleyball can be found at the township park.
Every effort will be made to ensure you have an amazing and memorable vacation. Reserve your space today!

- Long-term Renters Welcome

About Sally Akerley
I grew up in and around the Traverse City area. My parents made their exodus from the big city in the early 1970's...depositing their family in this quaint area known as northern lower Michigan. As a typical teenager, I planned my 'escape'...eager for the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape. But over time, I came to appreciate the area--and ultimately couldn't bear to leave it : ) My career provides me the opportunity to speak with people of wealth rather regularly. There's nothing more satisfying than hearing these words from them: 'I've travelled the world and can live anywhere I choose. I choose northern Michigan. I choose HERE!'
Sally Akerley purchased this house in 2006
Why Sally Akerley chose Williamsburg
My family purchased this property in 2006. We didn't move far, just across town...but my goal was to put the children into the Elk Rapids school district. The property suited us beautifully! It was isolated enough to be quiet, yet close enough to enjoy all the area amenities. The beach is just down the road. All summer long, we were in constant pursuit of the water--whether it was biking down, loading up the boat for a jaunt out to the Torch Lake sandbar, or a quiet moonlight stroll down for an evening swim.
Now the children are grown. And while it might be tempting to sell this property and move on....I cannot. Instead, I am inviting you to share in it.
What makes this house unique
This property spoke to me the minute I saw it for sale online. Before I even stepped foot onto the property, I knew it would be ours. And it was!
Located immediately between Traverse City and Elk Rapids--it is the perfect location. It is a very private, wooded setting. You cannot see the water, but you can hear it while you're sunning on the deck. The public boat launch/beach area/campground are at the end of the road (0.15 mile). Immediately upon purchasing the home, we bought our first boat. We were in it almost constantly, maneuvering the Chain of Lakes that was mere footsteps from our back door. Here is our detail of the 'chain'...Elk Lake greets you at the end of the road. Through that is Lake Skegemog, to Torch River, to Torch Lake (fabled for its crystal clear turquoise waters and sandbar), to Clam River, to Clam Lake, to Grass River to Lake Bellaire. There are several towns and hamlets along the route. Eagles nest along the riverbanks. It is exceptionally beautiful. Some nights, we wouldn't go 'out' to dinner...we would BOAT to dinner!
Some nights, we would walk down the road to the beach, cocktails in hand, eager to meet friends-old and new-that were gathered at the pavilion or enjoying a fire overlooking the lake.
The proximity to Traverse City and Elk Rapids were especially appealing to me. It was a foot in both doors, so to speak. We had our quaint little village where everyone knew one another...and the larger city with its many amenities. Over the years, it's been a joy to discover we're always a tourist in our own town. There is always someplace new to visit, eat, hear, explore!
Come--See for yourself!!

The 'House Sold' signs popping up in your neighborhood and shiny new cars parked in driveways are a reflection of containerized import growth on the docks in January.
A continuous recovery in home sales and a thriving auto industry drove import growth for the third straight month in January. Overall U.S. containerized imports surged 4.1 percent in January 2012 over January 2011 to a total of 1,475,608 20-foot equivalent units, following a rise of 3.8 percent in December. Imports from Asia advanced 2.9 percent in January, following a moderate increase of 0.6 percent in the preceding month. My most up-to-date forecast on U.S. imports from Asia calls for a rise of 2.5 percent for full year 2012.
On a commodity level, gains were led by furniture, up 6 percent, and auto parts, up 19 percent. Furniture imports rose for the third month running as the pace of home sales continues to recover. Solid gains were also seen in 'empty containers, drums' (+42 percent), 'miscellaneous metal ware' (+19 percent ), and 'footwear' (+4 percent.). This is the first increase in inbound shipments of footwear after declining for several consecutive months. On the downside, 'miscellaneous fruits' led the losses, down 26 percent, followed by 'menswear', down 10 percent. Imports of toys edged up 0.3 percent, following several successive monthly declines.
On a regional level, imports from Northeast Asia rose by the most, up 2 percent (or 18,734 TEUs) to a total of 898,599 TEUs. Northern Europe and Southeast Asia followed, climbing each 12 percent and 5 percent, respectively. On the downside, shipments from the west coast of South America declined 1 percent. Shipments from China showed the most gains, up 2 percent (or 14,510 TEUs) to a total of 709,410 TEUs.
Solid gains were also seen in India and Vietnam, each advancing by 22 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Imports from Mexico jumped 68 percent. Leading the losses, shipments from Thailand declined 9 percent. On a month-to-month basis, overall imports increased by 11 percent in January, following a decline of nearly 10 percent in the preceding month.
Sales of existing homes rose in 3 of the last 4 months through January, which bodes well for the short-term outlook of furniture imports. Meanwhile, a strong auto industry continues to bolster a more than 2 years long streak of gains in 'parts'. The overall employment market is modestly improving but real consumer spending has remained flat in over the last 3 months through January. Higher gasoline prices is a major risk to the import trade as lower disposable income adversely affects spending on discretionary goods such as apparel, computers, and home goods.
Note: Trade with Canada is excluded. All percentage changes are expressed on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted. A more detailed version of this entry can be found in JOC Insights, March 2012 issue.

Australian sales of newly built homes rose in June for a third straight month as interest-rate reductions helped spur apartment purchases, a private report showed.
Sales increased 2.8 percent to 6,021 last month from May, when they gained 0.7 percent, the Canberra-based Housing Industry Association said, citing a survey of the nation's largest builders. Detached house sales rose 0.7 percent, while apartments soared 15.7 percent, it said.
The Reserve Bank of Australia cut the benchmark rate by 50 basis points late last year and a further 75 points in May and June as inflation remained contained and the savings rate stayed above 9 percent. At 3.5 percent, the overnight cash rate target is still the highest among major developed economies.
"Lower interest rates will assist new housing in 2012/13, but the large gap between the cash rate and variable mortgage rates will blunt their positive impact," Harley Dale, HIA chief economist, said in a statement.
Australian house prices probably declined in the three months through June, extending the longest losing streak in at least a decade. An index measuring prices for established houses in eight major cities likely dropped 0.5 percent last quarter from the previous three months, and were down 4.2 percent from a year earlier, a survey of economists showed before an Aug. 1 government report.

My Kitchen Rules 2013: Meet the Gatecrashers
My Kitchen Rules: Meet the Gatecrashers
For weeks we've known that there would be "gatecrashers" on My Kitchen Rules but exactly how they would fit into the picture was revealed on last night's episode. At the conclusion of group two's instant restaurant round, WA mother and daughter team Lisa and Candice were eliminated after landing at the bottom of the leader board, and the remaining teams from group one returned to join their competitors in Adelaide. Judges Pete Evans and Manu Feildel revealed that the scores from group one and group two had been put together, and that the bottom three teams — Lisa and Stefano, Ali and Samuel, and Dan and Steph — were in danger of elimination and would be going around the country again. (The show introduced a third instant restaurant round last year.) As to who their competition would be — that's when the door opened to reveal three new pairs of contestants. NSW best friends Ashlee and Sophia have already caused a stir in promos with their comments (will it be like the Spice Girls all over again?) so click through to meet the gatecrashers! The new round of instant restaurants kicks off tonight.
My Kitchen Rules airs from Monday to Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on Channel Seven.

The Associated Press
Microsoft Executive Vice President Stephen Elop sent employees of the company's devices business a memo detailing its job cut plans. Microsoft said it would cut up to 18,000 jobs over the next year, with about 12,500 related to Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's phone business in April. Elop was Nokia's CEO before the acquisition. Here's his memo.
Hello there,
Microsoft's strategy is focused on productivity and our desire to help people "do more." As the Microsoft Devices Group, our role is to light up this strategy for people. We are the team creating the hardware that showcases the finest of Microsoft's digital work and digital life experiences, and we will be the confluence of the best of Microsoft's applications, operating systems and cloud services.
To align with Microsoft's strategy, we plan to focus our efforts. Given the wide range of device experiences, we must concentrate on the areas where we can add the most value. The roots of this company and our future are in productivity and helping people get things done. Our fundamental focus -- for phones, Surface, for meetings with devices like PPI, Xbox hardware and new areas of innovation -- is to build on that strength. While our direction in the majority of our teams is largely unchanging, we have had an opportunity to plan carefully about the alignment of phones within Microsoft as the transferring Nokia team continues with its integration process.
It is particularly important to recognize that the role of phones within Microsoft is different than it was within Nokia. Whereas the hardware business of phones within Nokia was an end unto itself, within Microsoft all our devices are intended to embody the finest of Microsoft's digital work and digital life experiences, while accruing value to Microsoft's overall strategy. Our device strategy must reflect Microsoft's strategy and must be accomplished within an appropriate financial envelope. Therefore, we plan to make some changes.
We will be particularly focused on making the market for Windows Phone. In the near term, we plan to drive Windows Phone volume by targeting the more affordable smartphone segments, which are the fastest growing segments of the market, with Lumia. In addition to the portfolio already planned, we plan to deliver additional lower-cost Lumia devices by shifting select future Nokia X designs and products to Windows Phone devices. We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products.
To win in the higher price segments, we will focus on delivering great breakthrough products in alignment with major milestones ahead from both the Windows team and the Applications and Services Group. We will ensure that the very best experiences and scenarios from across the company will be showcased on our products. We plan to take advantage of innovation from the Windows team, like Universal Windows Apps, to continue to enrich the Windows application ecosystem. And in the very lowest price ranges, we plan to run our first phones business for maximum efficiency with a smaller team.
We expect these changes to have an impact to our team structure. With our focus, we plan to consolidate the former Smart Devices and Mobile Phones business units into one phone business unit that is responsible for all of our phone efforts. Under the plan, the phone business unit will be led by Jo Harlow with key members from both the Smart Devices and Mobile Phones teams in the management team. This team will be responsible for the success of our Lumia products, the transition of select future Nokia X products to Lumia and for the ongoing operation of the first phone business.
As part of the effort, we plan to select the appropriate business model approach for our sales markets while continuing to offer our products in all markets with a strong focus on maintaining business continuity. We will determine each market approach based on local market dynamics, our ability to profitably deliver local variants, current Lumia momentum and the strategic importance of the market to Microsoft. This will all be balanced with our overall capability to invest.
Our phone engineering efforts are expected to be concentrated in Salo, Finland (for future, high-end Lumia products) and Tampere, Finland (for more affordable devices). We plan to develop the supporting technologies in both locations. We plan to ramp down engineering work in Oulu. While we plan to reduce the engineering in Beijing and San Diego, both sites will continue to have supporting roles, including affordable devices in Beijing and supporting specific US requirements in San Diego. Espoo and Lund are planned to continue to be focused on application software development.

When teenage thugs are called "troubled youth" by people on the political left, that tells us more about the mindset of the left than about these young hoodlums.
Seldom is there a speck of evidence that the thugs are troubled, and often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves, as they create trouble and dangers for others.
Why then the built-in excuse, when juvenile hoodlums are called "troubled youth" and mass murderers are just assumed to be "insane"?
At least as far back as the 18th century, the left has struggled to avoid facing the plain fact of evil — that some people simply choose to do things that they know to be wrong when they do them. Every kind of excuse, from poverty to an unhappy childhood, is used by the left to explain and excuse evil. [Read more…]

ReptiSun LED UVB Hoods
Zoo Med
Zoo Med has introduced ReptiSun LED UVB Hoods that combine energy-efficient, brilliant LED lighting with the company's ReptiSun UVB lamps. In addition to 6500K white LEDs, red plant-growth LEDs and blue Lunar LEDs, the hood houses a High Output T5 ReptiSun UVB Lamp. It features a polished curved reflector for maximum efficiency and UVB penetration, and it can be mounted using the adjustable sliding rails or the included suspension kit. The hood is available in 14-in., 24-in., 30-in., 36-in., and 48-in. sizes
Ceramic Heat Guard and Reflector
WhitePython's Ceramic Heat Guard and Reflector fit exclusively with the company's Ultra Slim Heat Lamps. It features an outer guard to protect reptiles against possible burns, an inner reflective dome to push heat downwards, and a removable mesh grille on the base for easy access to the ceramic heater. A built-in custom reflector dome makes the heater more energy efficient, reducing the necessary output to achieve the required temperature, while also reducing the heat that rises into the roof of the terrarium—minimizing the risk of fire. It comes in three colors: Leaf Green, Midnight Black and Earth Brown.
Exo Terra Day & Night LED Lamp
Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corp.
The Exo Terra Day & Night LED lamp, from Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corp., is an energy-efficient fixture that switches from cool, bright day-mode to dim, blue night-mode. Both settings allow for a natural nighttime temperature drop. The night setting produces a soft, blue light that mimics natural moonlight. The black-light fixture is built to suit all types of terrariums. It includes self-adhesive base support to help hold the light in place. It comes in a Small 2-watt size with 14 white LEDs and one blue LED, or a Large, 3-watt size with 22 white LEDs and two blue LEDs.
ReptiSun LED Terrarium Hoods
Zoo Med Labs
Zoo Med Labs, Inc. has debuted its ReptiSun LED Terrarium Hoods. The energy-efficient hoods provide bright light for reptiles or amphibians, while promoting an animal's natural behaviors and terrarium plant growth. The hoods feature adjustable rails, allowing them to fit a variety of tank sizes, and they can also be suspended using the included stainless steel "aircraft cable" suspension kit. Its modular design allows for replacing or swapping out LED panels. It is available in four sizes to fit tanks from 9 to 60 in. long.

President's Charge to the PCM of February 2012.
Posted on
Greetings : The Bishop of this Diocese , Bishop Hess ,President of the guild in the Diocese of Saldanah Bay and his executive, all presidents from different dioceses and their executives , members of the Provincial executive committee, our sister organization G.T.C. represented here today by its provincial co-coordinator Revd Trevor Pearce Calvary greetings to you all . Today we are meeting here for the first time as the provincial council after our election, therefore it is humbly experience , it gives me great pleasure to serve God in this ministry , we want to thank God for that . We are very much proud of this ministry, and also do not wish to fail god and His people. It is also sad day that we are meeting here and our liaison Bishop, Bishop p Mlibo Ngewu is not with us for the reason known to us (he lost his brother, Lubabalo Ngewu who passed away from us about a week ago and will be buried next week Tuesday).May his soul rest in peace .God has called us to serve Him and His people, He has called us to minister to His Church and we humbled by this inheritance of faith. When we concluded our conference we decided to have a handing over meeting between the old and new executives , and indeed we me in the same Diocese on the 18-19th November 2011.we were hosted by thus same diocese we are very much grateful to our host , led by their forever energetic president Rev. Lutya. The handing over went well I want to echo the words I have share with conference , that we will be forever grateful to predecessors for the foundation that they have laid before us. However there were few areas of concern that we all felt they needed our urgent attention from the way the guild was run The areas are as follows: The relationship between the guild and the Diocesan Bishop wasnt noble. (When we talk relationship with our diocesan Bishop, we have already achieved that through our media officer Brother Fezile Maki and our chairman) Some of the Bishops have started to communicate with the guild, the liaison Bishop of growing the church portfolios has responded by sending Rev Trevor, and other bishops communicated with the president, we will be meeting the other Bishop during the course of the term. We have managed to secure an appointment with the office of the Archbishop: we are meeting him on Monday the 20th at about 09H00 .Our meeting with the Archbishop is about engaging the office of the archbishop in matters of the guild, we want to ask the Arch bishop to put foreword to our constitution (as advised by our legal advisor brother Tsika) We will also engage the Arch on the issue of liaison Bishop Mlibo Ngewu, the issue of the shrine in Zimbabwe. On Saturday the 18th I and the chairman will be flying to Namibia to meet with the bishop of Namibia and the members of the guild in that Diocese thanks to our chairman. The Diocese of Mozambique will be the next. Visibility of PEXCO to our Diocesan activities i.e. Diocesan conferences & Council meetings. (On visibility we have been engaging dioceses on this, and we can proudly we have and we are going in a right direction, we have been about five diocesan conferences, the Matlosane, Saldana Bay ,False Bay , Johannesburg and Pretoria. We have been to the diocese of Ukhahlamba to their diocesan council .In April we are going to the diocese of Grahamnstown when they will be holding their conference. We want to make special appeal to our dioceses to please make contacts with the Provincial office when planning your conferences so as to able to plan our diary accordingly. When we talk about visibility we want to say to the members of the guild let us think out of box especially the office of the social responsibility. For instance on the 15th of February I visited the family in the Eastern Cape (East London) together with some of the members of the guild of the diocese of Grahamnstown. This family had a child that was raped and the community took the law into their own hands by killing the suspect through mob justice , and three people were got arrested the situation in that township is tense at the moment . When we went there we prayed with the families and people were very much thankful that we came because no church came to visit, we were the only church group that visited the community. The councilor of the community was nowhere to be seen. Communication and fellowship with other Dioceses that are both within and outside ACSA. As I have already indicated above we are going to Namibia on Saturday and we have established contacts with Diocese of Harare as a way of opening doors for fellowship as they are not members of ACSA. We hope and trust that we will be in contact with the Diocese of Zululand, Swaziland and many other dioceses that are not with us at the moment. Yearly Pilgrimage to the shrine of St Bernard Mizeki in Maunder district in Mashonaland Province of Zimbabwe. We need to encourage one another to try and foster good relationship with other brothers in Zimbabwe so as to be able to go and visit the shrine every year in June. The lack of office space to run our guild in more professional way. The lack of training of our members in particular the preaching skills. Common manual for all dioceses, the understanding of our constitution The lack of protection the legacy of Bernard Mizeki route from Inhambane village of KwaGwambe tribe in Mozambique, to Cape Town St Phillip church and to the shrine in the Murundera district of the Mashona land Province of Zimbabwe. The non existence income generating projects in order to sustain the running costs of the guild. We must be business like in our approach; we will be able to sustain the guild if we do that. The lack of culture of prayer, Christ is to be the centre of our guild we must fix our eyes in Him at all times Things that needed a serious consideration Road accidents during the festive season SADTU issue in the Eastern Cape and the department of education Controversial issue of Julius Malema, His approach Rape and abuse of women and children. Accountability as the key issue in these three years to our membership. Traveling of the PEXCO. Fundraising cannot depend only on the subscription from the members of the guild, we need a strategy. The question of women at Bernard Mizeki association is to be looked seriously We have talent in the organization we couldnt be perceived as the guild that is doing its work unprofessionally therefore excellence is to be the key in our vocabulary. Moral regeneration is to be the key in this organization. Respect and obedience must prevail from the guild members. Good publicity at all times Education should be the key in this guild, training of our members Patriotism and voluntarism must be the key in this guild Retreats must be held at least twice year by all dioceses. The school of thoughts should be established to try and to conquer illiteracy within the guild, we need thinkers and planners Members should respect marriage as a sacred institution at all times. The guild needs to open the help desk catering for substances abuse and many other related issues. In conclusion my fellow brothers in Christ I wish you a blessed time together with us as the council may the Almighty God keep you safely always. Grace, Peace and Joy remain with you always Yours in Christ Revd M.E. Masoka (President)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Republican Gov. Rick Scott has signed a new Florida law that critics say will discourage likely Democratic voters from registering or casting ballots.
Sponsors in the GOP-controlled Legislature argued the law Scott signed Thursday will prevent election fraud.
The law may be reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice to determine if it discriminates against minority voters. Opponents also say they are considering court challenges.
The law reduces early voting hours. It also requires voters who make address changes at the polls to cast provisional ballots that may not be counted.
The League of Women Voters has decided to halt voter registration drives in Florida due to new requirements the law puts on such activities.
The legislation passed largely along party lines.

Soul Syncing
Today On HELP! Relationships 102, we discuss what is meant by the term "Soul Syncing". We describe what it looks like and how to nurture it in a realtime marital situation. We define it within the context of the original blueprint of GOD's intent when He created marrriage.
Most, if not all of the 50% divorce rate epidemic we are battling unsuccessfully with today, is due to attempting to operate marriages on one dimension when it was created to work on three. It's much like mountain climbing with one leg "tied behind your back".
Join us as we open up the root issue revelation of "Soul Syncing"

Gatekeepers Marriage -Sex - Dr. Pat Holliday/ Judge Paula
in Religion
The American family is in trouble. America will pay, and pay dearly, for these great sins of which she is guilty; divorce, adultery, rebellion and sexual perversions have grown like an ugly weed throughout the country. Here, as in many other areas, the statement, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," (Gal. 6:7).
Too long we have, as a nation winked at these great sins and ministers of the Gospel refused to preach against these great sins (Mk. 10:11, 12; Gal. 5:19-21).The apostle John said "if you commit sin, you are the servant of sin,"(Jn. 8:34). The Bible tells us to"Mortify your members; put off all these sins," (Col. 3:5, 8).
"Keep thyself pure from sins," (I Tim. 5:22). Also see, "Flee youthful lusts; lovers of pleasure more than God; lead captive silly women with diver's lusts."
Are Black Women Appreciated or Taken for Granted?
in Women
According to statistical data Black women are the least likely to marry outside of their ethnic group. According to statistical data black women have the lowest marriage rate and it continues to fall. According to statistical data 67% of black women have children out of wedlock. What's really going on? My sisters call in, let's talk. Men if we're appreciated tell us we are and if we're taken for granted let us know why?

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- U.N. inspectors say there is "clear and convincing evidence" that chemical weapons were used on a relatively large scale in an attack last month in Syria that killed hundreds of people.
A report from the inspectors says "the environmental, chemical and medical samples we have collected provide clear and convincing evidence that surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used ... in the Ghouta area of Damascus" on Aug. 21.
"The conclusion is that chemical weapons have been used in the ongoing conflict between the parties in the Syrian Arab Republic ... against civilians including children on a relatively large scale," the inspectors said on the first page of their report to Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
Ban is scheduled to present the report to the U.N. Security Council on Monday. The Associated Press saw the first page of the report.

Missing optical drive... none of the fixes work
I have an Acer Power FH system with a Memorex CD/DVD optical drive.
Was using Windows XP and just did a clean install of 7 on a new drive.
The drive doesn't show up in my computer, or in device manager. It was available in XP and shows in BIOS. It showed briefly the first time I booted into windows 7, but when I double clicked it, it disappeared and never came back.
Maybe relevant: - it's a PATA drive and I'm using an adapter to connect it to one of the SATA slots on the motherboard. Dunno if it matters but it's set as a slave on channel 3, with the win7 boot drive being the master on channel 3. My other drives, both PATA and SATA, are showing up ok.
Fixes I've googled that don't work:
· Removing upperlimit and lowerlimit registry entries at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
· Disabling driver signing verification under the windows 7 boot options
· Manually disabling via command line with bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
· Downloading windows updates, including
Download details: Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB974332)
· Showing hidden devices in device manager, scanning for new hardware, useless windows troubleshooter.
Am I hosed or what? Time to buy a new drive? Maybe rearranging things so the drive is connected via IDE cable?

Vista Ult 64 bit Seven Ult RTM x64
Hello CreeDo,
Welcome to Seven Forums.
There may be a setting in bios to activate the sata port.
Hope this helps.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Check disk management to see if drive is showing up
Right click my computer>manage>disk management
Or from a command prompt type, diskpart, list disk and see what comes up should show you drive and tell you drive status ie online/offline/error
Hope this helps
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Thanks for the ideas so far...
gary - Does that mean enabling the particular sata slot I've got it plugged into? I know that sata slot works... also sometimes I've seen the drive appear on a couple of occasions for just a few seconds. If activating the port can still work, where is that in bios usually?
Pauly - it's not in disk management. Since my original post I installed some windows updates, and on the next reboot the drive showed up twice... once as an unknown drive type, and on the next boot as a CD/DVD drive. In both cases, the drive disappeared after a few seconds. In the second case it actually let me copy a couple of files then disappeared in the middle of the copy, causing an error.
|My System Specs

Generally in bios sata ports can be set to work in different modes normally raid/ide/ahci try changing between achi and ide see if it helps, have you doubled check the drive is connected properly all plugs are pushed fully home, try unplugging and replugging nothing to lose

Change the channel. It appears your motherboard doesn't support 2 devices on the same channel. Either that or buy a new optical drive with a SATA interface.

WHOA. Frostmourne. You are THE MAN. Seriously. You are definitely my hero for at least the next week.
This problem is so common and so few good fixes are posted. I just swapped two of the sata connections so that they're on different channels and it's golden. All other drives are still there. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks so much! Was driving me nuts. Thanks also to the other posters in this thread.

AGHHH bump :/
It isn't fixed. It consistently disappears shortly after boot.
Memorex support sucks for the drive... after lots of digging I found links to firmware updates for my drive. Every link is 404. I searched google for the filenames of these drivers and found only one out of 4. That one failed to work (an error about the drive not being found).
In short, the drivers are either impossible to find or suck, and without them I can't seem to keep this drive from disappearing in windows 7. It will appear and work for a short time. I don't know what changes to make it disappear. It's gone in device manager too.
|My System Specs
|19 Feb 2010
I'd replace the drive with a brand new SATA model - the one I bought is a GH 22 series, and no it does not have Bluebird.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2010
Frost, thanks for checking back in on it. I'm probably going to have to end up doing that. It kills me though, throwing away a perfectly good drive. It's just a software issue, it worked (and still works) great in XP.
Right this second, it's working fine. It just stops after a little while and disappears.
Is there any use knowing this bit of info? In event viewer I can see when it disappears. There's an error from the service control manager. The error isn't helpful, just says "The following boot-start or system-start drivers failed to load: cd-rom"
