Freshwater Species
The rich variety of freshwater habitats in Northern Ireland support a wide range of plants and animals. Some species are specialists and are dependent on their habitat for survival, others are less selective but nevertheless are becoming increasing vulnerable.
We are involoved in continuous research to identify species that require immediate conservation action and has produced Species Action Plans (SAPs) that outline specific measures needed to protect them.
View the Northern Ireland Species Action Plans
Information on a number of species can can be found at the Ulster Museum Habitas website
Fish play an important part in freshwater habitats in Northern Ireland and contribute a great deal to our economy. Angling is a very enjoyable pastime for a lot of people both in rivers and on lakes. Commercial fishing also is locally important and includes freshwater inland fisheries for eel and pollan on Lough Neagh.
Only 11 freshwater fish species are considered native to Northern Ireland, although a number of coarse fish species have been introduced. This is a very small number compared with the rest of the UK and Europe. However, some of these species are of considerable biodiversity significance due to their genetic distinctiveness.
The fish species pollan, for example, has not been genetically altered since the ice age and the largest population in Europe is found within our very own Lough Neagh and Lower Lough Erne.
In general, fish communities within our larger nutrient rich lakes and rivers are a mix of coarse and salmonid species, but today there are few truly natural stocks due to breeding with introduced species. Lough Melvin supports the Northern Ireland priority species Arctic charr at its only known site in Northern Ireland. Other Northern Ireland species of conservation concern in Lough Melvin are three distinct races of brown trout and the Atlantic salmon.
Invertebrates are multi-cellular animals without a backbone. They are the most diverse species group and are critical in the functioning of ecosystems, often using freshwater at some stage in their lifecycle. Freshwater habitats have a rich variety and include insects, crustaceans, spiders, numerous types of worms and snails.
Northern Ireland fens are particularly important for invertebrates, several of which are absent or threatened in Great Britain. These include dragonflies (such as the Irish damselfly), beetles (for example the whirligig beetle and the water beetle) and butterflies and moths (such as the marsh fritillary butterfly).
In addition, there are a number of species associated with our rivers that are of particular conservation importance. For example, there are concentrations of remaining populations of the rare freshwater pearl mussel and white-clawed crayfish.
The freshwater crayfish is commonly found in alkaline streams, rivers and small lakes where the levels of calcium carbonate are high, relying on this chemical to build up its exoskeleton. These conditions are often provided in marl lakes and therefore these may support large populations of this species. Snails, such as the marsh snail, can persist during periods of drought under stones and in damp vegetation and are common in turloughs (a unique type of disappearing lake found mostly in limestone areas).
Reptiles and amphibians
There is only one native terrestrial reptile in Northern Ireland, the viviparous lizard, which is widely distributed, particularly in heaths, bogs and sand dunes, but little information is recorded.
The smooth newt is one of only two native amphibians and is found across a wide range of habitats across Northern Ireland. Like most amphibians they require waterbodies in which to breed and can be found in fens and in many small water bodies such as ponds and ditches which don't have fish from March to July/August. Outside the breeding season they can found hiding in damp areas under logs, rocks or other materials. The common frog is the other, a very widespread species in Ireland, you tend not to find frogs and newts in the same waterbodies. The frog populations here are considered to be important both for species conservation in Europe and because they play an important part in food chains.
Bird species can be found breeding in a wide variety of locations throughout Northern Ireland and a number of these live in freshwater habitats or visit them to drink and feed.
Some lakes support internationally important bird populations. Lough Neagh and Lough Beg, in particular, hold up to 80,000 wintering waterfowl of some 20 species, including ducks, geese, swans and gulls.
The presence of particular birds can be a good sign of a healthy habitat. Reedbeds are of value to a range of specialist bird species that depend on them for their survival, such as the reed bunting, the water rail, the sedge warbler and the reed warbler, so their presence is encouraging.
Like all animals, mammals need freshwater to survive and hence may visit rivers, lakes and streams at some time to drink. Some, however, live in close proximity to water-bodies and although our species are limited in comparison to the rest of the UK, there are some that you may come across.
The otter is the fourth largest land mammal in Northern Ireland. It occurs frequently along many of the river systems, although it is seldom seen and will avoid contact with humans.
The American mink first escaped from fur farms and began to establish itself in Ireland during the 1950s. It is relatively common and is found along rivers, streams, lakes and canals.
Within freshwater environments plants play a variety of different roles, from helping oxygenate the water to providing homes for insects. To survive aquatic plants can have quite different adaptations from those on land. They may float on the waters surface (from microscopic phytoplankton to water lilies), be partially submerged (such as common reeds) or totally submerged (for example, a variety of pond weeds).
Mosses and liverworts are found throughout freshwater bodies. They differ from flowering plants in having modified stems (rhizoids) instead of roots and reproduce by means of spores.
A common algae in our freshwaters are stoneworts, so called because they are often incrusted with calcium carbonate. Twenty species of stoneworts have been recorded in Northern Ireland.
You don't need to visit the Amazon to discover animal eating plants! The greater bladderwort supplements a low nutrient diet by consuming insects and small fish and can be found in Lower Lough Erne and peat bogs.

It's DocMan on steroids, has great features and the Documents Seller team is helpful as (special thanks to Tuan from Allen).
If you have used DocMan then much of its look and feel will be familiar. If not, then there is a learning curve, but worth the effort. The only negative I could see was a lack of documented instructions, but this is being addressed.
In short, if your serious about selling online then this is an extension you should take a good look at and consider the purchase (even if, like me, you don't generally buy extensions).

Runners Foot
Dr. Jason Denton, Deaconess Clinic Podiatry
Welcome runners! This article is all about keeping YOUR feet healthy and feeling good.
Not only am I a podiatrist, but I'm also an avid runner. I've been a runner for about 6-7 years, since I started in podiatry school. I lost about 100 pounds before I started running, and so I took up running to keep it off. The first timed race I ever did was the Des Moines (Iowa) Half Marathon, which I ran with my twin brother. My time was about 1:37. I've ran numerous races since then—4 full marathons, 3 ultra marathons (50k, 50 mile), and numerous half marathons. I'm excited about getting involved with the local running community. I'm also excited about sharing some helpful tips—both personal and professional--about keeping your feet healthy.
Protecting Your Feet as a Runner: Choose the Right Shoe
Make sure that you get properly sized. Most shoe stores will have a sizing device. And keep in mind that over time, the foot can change. Be aware that with running, the foot tends to spread over time, sometimes adding as much as a half-inch in length.
If you're a runner, buy a running shoe. If you're a walker, buy walking shoes. The cushioning is designed to be different.
If you have orthotics, be SURE to have them along and try out your shoes with them in. Also try on your shoes with the type of sock that you'll be wearing with the shoe.
Different brands, different styles within the same brand, etc. can all fit slightly different. And try on both shoes, not just one.
Try shoes on later in the day, as feet can swell a bit over the course of your day.
Make sure you have enough room in the 'toe box' (front of shoe) for your toes to splay out.
Don't lace the shoe too tightly, as it will prevent the natural splaying of the foot.
Addressing Common Running Injuries
. Friction blisters are very common, and are caused by rubbing from the shoe/sock. I strongly recommend socks designed for running, which have no cotton in them (cotton absorbs moisture differently and can increase friction). Seamless socks are an excellent idea. These special socks are a little pricier than a 6-pack from a department store, but well worth the price in comfort and pain avoidance.
Bleeding under the nail.
The medical term for this is subungal hematoma. This will form from the toe hitting the front of the shoe (shoe too big or too small), or laced improperly allowing the foot to slide in the shoe too much. The remedy is obviously getting a pair of shoes that fit better and lacing them correctly.
Sometimes, the hematoma needs to be drained to relieve the pressure behind the nail, and sometimes, the nail may even need to be removed. This should be done by your primary care doctor or a podiatrist. If it's not significantly painful, let the body reabsorb the blood. There will just be a discoloration on the nail until it grows out.
Ingrown Toenails.
Ingrown toenails can result from a shoe that isn't wide enough. Ingrown toenails usually need to be professionally treated, as they only get worse and can cause significant pain and infection. A small hangnail you can probably address on your own with clippers and antibiotic ointment (but monitor it, and if the pain increases, be treated)
Athlete's Foot.
If your feet are damp a lot, athlete's foot can set in. It's a fungal skin infection, and can be treated with breathable socks (non-cotton), topical OTC antifungal cream, antifungal spray in the shoe—and setting your shoes in the sun to fully dry, alternating running shoes from one day to the next so shoes can dry fully between runs. In a serious case, be evaluated by your PCP or podiatrist. Prevention is important, so wear good socks, alternate shoes, consider waterproof shoes for trail/rainy-day runs, etc. Also, wear shower shoes in locker rooms.
Shin Splints.
Shin splints are common ailment of runners. Prevention starts at the foot. These are caused by abnormal stress/strain on the muscles of the lower leg. The pain is up the front of the calf (the shin) and feels like a sore/pulling/tearing/stretching sensation. This pain can really limit your ability to increase your mileage or finish a run. Prevention starts with stretching, correcting any abnormal foot function, gradual increases in length and intensity of running, and proper shoe selection. Treatment can include icing for 20 minutes on/off, deep tissue massage/manipulation, and gentle stretching. And if shin splints are an ongoing issue for you, consider orthotics (which are discussed in full detail later in this article).
Achilles Tendonitis.
Finally, Achilles tendonitis is a big problem among runners. Increased activity/stress can irritate the firm tendon that runs from your calf to the back of your heel. Usually it's found in sudden overuse or in someone who has increased their activity suddenly beyond what the body is conditioned to do. Running on a lot of inclines (up hills) creates more stress on that tendon as well. Stretching the calf muscle is good for the feet of a runner and it's related to preventing Achilles tendonitis.
Remember that stretching pre and post run, fixing any foot abnormalities and gradually increasing your activity will lead to the best outcome for not only your feet, but for your future as a runner.
Stress fractures
Stress fractures are typically from overuse, commonly related to high-impact activities (such as running), which increase stress and force to bones that can lead to cracks in the bone.
Stress fractures commonly seen in the foot involve the mid-foot (arch) area. Swelling is noted on the top of the foot, as well as a small localized area of pain (small pressure point). Stress fractures are typically more painful the longer you're on your feet or involved in activity. Because of this, a stress fracture often hurts less in the morning and gets more painful as the day goes on.
An important thing to understand about stress fractures is that as they heal, they change the stress points in the foot. As a fracture heals, the bone growth is increased at that point—a "bone callous"- meaning increased bone in that area. When you're doing an activity, it can shift the normal pressure to a different area of the foot, or back to the same spot that is still healing.
This is where orthotics come in, as they're custom designed to support the foot in a corrected way that can help minimize abnormal pressure.
Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis (aka 'heel spurs') results from structural abnormalities in the foot. The foot type tends to be inherited. Certain changes in the foot alignment, as well as lifestyle changes, can cause the problem to be noticed and become painful.
If the rear portion of the foot rolls in to the center, this can over stretch the plantar fascia, which is a tense band of tissue on the bottom of the foot which supports the arch. It spans the difference between the base of the toes and the heel bone.
If this band gets overstretched, it may sustain small tears along its length, resulting in plantar fasciitis. If the band pulls excessively on the heel bone, it will form a heel spur.
This problem is usually noticed because of the following symptoms:
Plantar fasciitis produces pain in the arch, and heel spurs produce pain in the bottom of the heel.
Both of these issues hurt more when the patient stands, either first thing in the morning, or after standing after a long rest.
This is not a result of "pounding," meaning that if you put something "cushy" in your shoe, it won't help. This is a structural issue, and can best be addressed by controlling the structural problem by way of orthotics. Also, medications can be used to reduce the inflammation associated with these problems.
The Benefits of Orthotic Devices
A true orthotic is a device constructed to a corrected model of an individual person's foot. Most orthotics are rigid in nature, to be able to control the abnormal function of the foot. However, when working properly, the orthotic will not feel hard—it will feel supportive. Orthotics are designed to be worn daily, for long periods of time. They don't "fix" your foot —they correct the structure. Eyeglasses are a similar example: they don't fix what's wrong with your vision, they simply correct it.
At Deaconess Clinic, we have advanced orthotic-development technology. A laser scanner is used initially to capture a model of each foot. We then use a computerized digital system to make corrections to the structure to develop an orthotic that will help bring the foot into the closest-to-normal alignment and positioning possible. The closer to normal the foot performs, the less structural pain that results.
Various foot structural issues, such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, high arches, etc. are best addressed via custom orthotics. This, again, controls the function of the foot. The better the foot works, the less it hurts. Orthotics also help prevent knee, hip and back issues as well, since they're helping with alignment.
Deaconess is also one of only 35 labs world-wide certified by the Prescription Foot Orthotic Laboratories Association. The way we make our orthotics is really, really innovative, and I'm excited to be able to use the technology in place here.

Hi, Deanna,
Bunions are a progressive form of arthritis. Walking is a great form of exercise. I would encourage you to continue with exercise activities as best you can, but with that having been said, the more you are on your feet the faster bunions can progress. The best way to decrease progression of bunions with exercise would be with wearing a good supportive shoe with an orthotic.
Deanna Spells
I have a bunion starting on my foot well it has a good start. Will walking long distance make it worse and does it matter if I am on concrete, asphalt or ground?
Dr. Jason Denton
Hi, Dianna,
I also follow the same cortisone injection delivery technique. The medial approach will help reduce the injection pain associated with the shot.
Dr. Jason Denton
Hi, Jennifer,
The pain you are experiencing could be related to an area of the foot that the bone is becoming overstressed and developing a stress fracture You could also be having a soft tissue issue.
Depending on if the pain is coming from the bone vs soft tissue, the treatment might be different. If you continue to have the pain after trying appropriate shoe-gear and stretching, this is something that should be evaluated.
Dr. Kaylor used to be my podiatrist, but he has retired. He took excellent care of my feet. When he gave me cortisone injections in my heels, he always went through the medial side of my foot rather than the bottom, which made the pain from the injection considerably more tolerable. My question is, do you follow this same procedure when giving steroid injections into the heel? I am in need of a new podiatrist, but I would like to find one who uses this same method.
I have had off and on pain across the top of my foot and on the lateral aspect of my right foot. I have been fitted for shoes and have tried stretching my feet more. Is this something to be seen about?
Susan Gerth - Deaconess Clinic orthotics technician
Hi, Tammy,
Yes, if you are not having any problems with your present orthotics. I would need the molds and the orthotics, briefly, to trace on the mold. The cost would be $275, which is half the price. If you are asking for a second pair because your orthotics are worn out, I can usually repair orthotics for minimal cost. if you would like to call me to discuss more details, please do at 812-four-two-six-6639.
Tammy Hayes
I have a mold of my feet that was done about 5 years ago. My question is can I have a spare pair of orthotics made from this?
Tammy Hayes
Dr. Jason Denton
Hi, Susanna. Thanks for your question.
Custom orthotics are designed to fit the particular individual and their arch as opposed to an over-the-counter (OTC) arch support such as Birkenstock. OTC arch supports are designed to provide some support and control but can have their limitations. Some individuals will do fine with the OTC arch support, but for others, they require more specialized control and this is where a custom orthotic comes into play. See how the pain is doing while wearing the current arch support, and if you continue to have pain, I would recommend you consider other options.
Susanna Wallace
I have plantar fasciitis and use Birkenstock inserts in my shoes for work. I wear Birkenstocks any other time I wear shoes. Are these as good as custom orthotics? Or should I consider a visit to a podiatrist?

A loaded 9mm handgun was found in the driver's glove compartment, shortly after midnight.
An officer from the sheriff's department stopped the car on I-94 in Paw Paw Township, only to find marijuana inside.
The driver, who is not yet being identified, had been convicted of previous drug offenses in Texas.
A passenger in the front seat was also found with drugs, and had a warrant out against her.
The driver was taken to the Van Buren County Jail.
The children were found unharmed, and are with child protective services.

A caring woman that has not let "life" beat her up to the point of being synical. No "heavy" baggage please: let your mistakes and past loves stay int the "rear view mirrow" where they belong. I want a smart, adventerous partner that is not afraid of life and wants to spend the rest of our lives having as much fun as possible. I don't want someone that can't accept me -- for me -- and immediately want to begin changing and rearranging. She can't expect me to solve her problems; but I will always be there for her during times of crisis. Love would be nice: as I believe that is essential to a long term relationship. . My business sometimes dictates my life (as well as my mood). My partner must have some type of income, and not expect me to be a 100% meal ticket. I believe I am basically a good guy that loves his two grown independent sons (ages 32 & 28). If you lie to someone; then you are simply afraid of them.

The Elk Whisperer
A Monticello man raises the steaks
Joel Espe never set out to be a leader in the elk farming business. Not back in 2000, anyway, when the no-nonsense high school principal, who lives in Monticello, was looking for something relaxing to do when he retired.
"A friend of mine raised elk and I used to help him some," says Espe. "One day I just came home and told the wife I'm going to start building a fence, I want to raise elk."
Today Espe is a nationally known elk expert. His farm, Hawks Hill Elk Ranch, has won thirty-seven national and international meat competitions, and his elk has been served at some of Chicago's top restaurants, including The Gage, Topolobampo and Naha. In addition, Espe has served on USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack's Advisory Council as one of twenty-five leading livestock producers in the U.S., and led a number of national and state elk and farmers associations.
"All those things catapulted me out of leading that boring life I was looking for when I retired," he laughs. But Espe wouldn't want it any other way. As spring approaches, he and his wife, Cheri, are looking forward to watching all of the new elk spring to life. "During calving season we almost never watch TV; we're sitting outside watching the little ones run around," says Espe. "It's always something new and different."

It's been a long time coming I suppose. And even now I struggle with the idea of closing the blog forever, so I've made the decision to leave it here for the time being.
I started the blog almost a decade ago yet it certainly doesn't feel that way. What was initially a way to keep family and friends updated on my life abroad turned into a personal journal which evolved into a 'life guide' for those in similar situations. As we recently moved our company websites to another server, my husband also moved my blog. My husband, who is pretty much responsible for most of our IT stuff, also does periodic site reviews (stats, views, hits, etc) and discovered that since the blog's inception I've had well over 4 million hits. I could have never imagined what started off as a simple desire to chat about personal silliness resulted in such an overwhelming response. I'm humbled and honored. But more importantly, I hope along this journey I've provided some insight which helped at least one person through whatever struggle they were dealing with at the time.
When my husband and I first moved to America over a year and a half ago I faced a lot of challenges. I had to adapt to being home… in my own country. I missed Kuwait on almost every level and thought of every excuse in the book to travel back as often as possible. However, that feeling has long since left me. Now the only 'missing' I feel in regard to Kuwait are my in-laws. The idea of moving back to Kuwait permanently almost scares me as a feeling of dread comes over me every time I think about the possibility. The first 6 months home consisted of me reminding my husband of our life in Kuwait, our home there, and encouraging him to move back. It's been a long time since I've felt that way and now, if the topic ever comes up, it's generally us discussing how our lifestyle no longer meshes with what living in Kuwait had to offer. Even blogging about Kuwait, local events there, or 'hot topics' doesn't appeal to me… at all. And while I'm still inundated with invites and requests to post information, I just don't. Not out of disrespect towards any organization, but because my personal interest has just gone in a completely different direction.
When I think of blogging now (yes, I still think about the blog often) I find myself wanting to discuss topics such as animal welfare, planting organic veggies and herbs, healthy living, raw food diets for dogs, outdoor cattery expansions, landscaping, home building, business development, or education. And honestly, who would be interested in any of that? Those topics often interest people who are participating in those activities… not searching for blogs that write about them. And us… well, we actively participate in them as well. Leaving very little time to write about them.
I'm not a big fan of loose ends and I absolutely despise movies that end in that 'open ended' sort of way. Who does that crap?! I need closure. Heck, I long for closure! I need closure so badly that I sometimes ponder incidents from years ago trying to pinpoint a feasible ending that perhaps I missed at the time… just so I can stop pondering them. Tis' the reason for this post. Closure. As I've left the blog sitting stagnant for so long it's been eating away at me. There have been a number of times I've almost blogged about a vacation, a restaurant, or, well, even fall weather wardrobe shopping just to fill pages. But that's never been my purpose for blogging and I'm certainly not going to resort to that now. Not that those topics don't have a level of interest to them, but my time constraints just wouldn't allow me to invest what is required to present them the way I would want them presented.
Stability, schedules, and absolute serenity. That's my life today. Over the years of blogging I've grown, changed, and become a woman I had only dreamed of becoming one day. I'm that person I would see in a mall or at a restaurant and say, "I bet her life is perfect. How amazing it must be to walk in her shoes." Obviously I had no clue what the random stranger's life was like but I knew I wanted my inside to look like their outside. And today, it does. Sure, I have a long way to go and I'm loving the journey, but at least now I know the recipe for having this life; stop comparing my inside to someone's outside. Ironic, huh? When I was forced, due to incredible time restrictions and a nightmare schedule, to stop asking the 'what if's', 'what was', and 'what could possibly be's', I accidentally embraced 'what is'. So here I am; better than I was yesterday and hoping to be even better tomorrow than I am today.
Will I ever blog again? I certainly hope so. But when I do it will more than likely not resemble anything this blog has offered. I'll focus more on things that bring me absolute joy today. During this phase of my life.
While there's a part of me that misses blogging, I take great comfort in knowing it was me who made the decision to take a break. You see, when you allow people into your private life by sharing it in a public forum you inevitably acquire a certain number of 'haters' for lack of a better word. And it almost seems the happier I became, the more my haters would go out of their way to leave negative comments, create fake accounts to follow me on social media, and even make up silly lies about me in hopes of getting some form of recognition? And though that behavior never negatively impacted my personal life, it did leave me realizing my mistake was expecting others to be as happy for me as I was for myself. When I accepted that was never going to happen it caused me to become more protective of the details of our daily lives. I'm certainly not going to put the most important people/things in my life out there to be ridiculed, scrutinized, or criticized. This resulted in the blog taking a new direction… a direction I wasn't a fan of, didn't feel connected to, and had no interest in following. Coupled with the outright lack of time, it just feels like the right moment to hit the pause button, focus on what makes me smile, and dedicate myself to personal goals I've set for myself.
My Twitter and Instagram accounts are still open though rarely active. Though I have found popping onto Instagram, uploading a picture, and banging out a few words about that moment are much easier than dedicating the time required for a full blog post.
On a positive note, I will continue to write. Writing has been my passion since I was in 3rd grade, drew a little cartoon illustrating a man being rude, providing captions on how he could improve his behavior, and my father hung it on the refrigerator. He's always been my biggest fan and was the one who taught me to read at the age of 2. For a number of years I've written contributing articles for local newspapers and those located in the GCC, case studies relating to human rights issues published in annual reports, research papers, company policies, training modules, and cultural diversity handbooks for employers abroad. I simply love to write, especially when I'm invested in the topic. So yeah, I'll write. And one day, in the future, I'll probably start another blog (or modify this one) for a completely different reason than the one I had at the inception of this blog.
For now I'll do my best to post comments, reply, and answer emails in a timely manner.
Thank you all for taking this journey with me, teaching me by sharing your experiences, and allowing me to peek into your lives just as I allowed you into mine.

Your Name:
Port of Virginia hits 1.1 million teu mark;
July's numbers up 8% compared with '04Since Jan. 1, The Port of Virginia has handled more than 1.1 million teus, a 10.2% jump over the same period in 2004.
In July, Virginia Port Authority's (VPA) three marine terminals ' Newport News Marine Terminal, Portsmouth Marine Terminal and Norfolk International Terminals—handled 137,259 teus, which is an eight percent increase when compared with the same month last year. The rolling 12 month average has spiked to 19.9%.
"As we approach peak season, we can expect container volumes to continue to increase," said Thomas Capozzi, the VPA's senior managing director of marketing. "We've forecast this port will have a record-setting year this year - as far as container volume—and I don't see any reason to adjust that forecast."
Activity highlights
NIT had a strong July for container throughput, with an increase of more than 17% for the month. Year-to-date, the terminal is up 16.9%.
PMT's year-to-date breakbulk traffic remains at an increase of 39.4%.
NNMT in July increased container throughput by 11.3%. Year-to-date volumes remain strong with an increase of more than 21%.
The Virginia Inland Port surpassed the 20,000 teu-mark during the first seven months of 2005. Since Jan.1, the VIP has increased throughput 25.9% and July was up 42.8% when compared with the same month last year.
Combined, the VPA's three marine terminals had 26,143 moves through their truck gates and 4,984 moves by rail in July.

nVidia 8400 GS and ATI Radeon 9200
I have an older PC with two graphics cards installed; a Sparkle nVidia 8400GS (PCI, 512MB, DVI/HDMI/VGA) and an ATI Radeon 9200. (AGP, 128MB Analog/VGA) The 8400GS has been working perfectly, no problems whatsoever. The Radeon 9200 has *also* been working perfectly, but the thing is, I can't seem to get them to work at the same time. I've consulted the almighty Google many times over a couple of months and haven't been able to find an answer that works for me! I'm going to have two outputs from the 8400GS and one output from the Radeon 9200 when I'm done. (If I *am* ever done with this silly contraption.) I believe it worked perfectly on windows XP (too long ago for me to remember), but that's a whole different animal to deal with. I would really appreciate the help if anyone has any solutions! If there's anything else I can tell you, I would be glad to! Also, when I shut down while using the Radeon, I got a BSOD, but, as I understand, that seems to be a common problem. It's 4:00am where I am and I'd love to get to bed, but thank goodness for Thanksgiving break! Also, yes, I know the Radeon is way old, but it's all I have for now.

|22 Nov 2011
Win 7 Ultimate x64
Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and you'll likely find that the 9200 driver is canceling or causing the 8400 driver to not work (same thing would happen if you used that 9200 with any ATI card from the HD 2xxx series and up). The BSOD is likely caused by the AGP driver itself depending on which chipset is in that computer.
As for a fix, the only real fix would be another card that uses the WDDM 1.1 driver, wither AMD or Nvidia. Only thing with that is that any card you buy (unless you can find a really cheap used one) is that a new card costs more than the computer is worth.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all our American friends – those waking up this morning a little worse for wear, still brushing pumpkin pie crumbs from their front, grabbing a leftover-turkey sarnie on route to the Black Friday sale, elbows sharpened.
Even though here in Britain, our sights are set firmly on Christmas, that doesn't mean we're immune to the celebrations stateside – in fact, we've embraced them (any excuse to justify our hangovers).
So, even though we can't quite match the spectacle of Macy's parade, we've scoured the blogosphere to bring you the best thanksgiving clips…
President Obama's turkey pardon…
God bless the president for 1) keeping an almost-straight face throughout this speech and 2) Slipping in the sentence, 'I was planning to eat this sucker' under the nose of the PC brigade.
And Sarah Palin's pardon.
The lifelong hunter also saved a turkey from the chopping block - anyone else get the feeling her hearts not in it? And what's that going on in the background of her interview?
We trust you're all Friends-aholics and no further explanation is required…
The Black Friday bargain race.
And we thought Oxford Street was bad. Ready, set, go….
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
We have the Snowman, the states has Charlie Brown - aired every year, without fail, since 1973 either on Thanksgiving itself or the Monday before.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade – back in the day.
We discovered the earliest ever video recording of the parade, taken in the early 60's Bizarrely, the line-up included the Munsters and a cameo from Father Christmas (not exactly thanksgivingy).
And finally yesterday's parade…
Which took a new route, steering clear of Broadway for the first time in it's 83-year history.

After Dark Delights
The sun has set on the day's gluttony. These aren'tKnights, Squires, Lords or Ladies anymore. Formality has given way to a kind of shiftless, finger-licking, semi-(food)stoned euphoria -- interrupted by the melody of burps, giggles and sighs. There's room enough in these gullets for something sweet though. Damnit, we will carry on. We. Will. Carry. On.Read More

Topics I've Started
Happy birthday Half-Life 2!
Posted 16 Nov 2014Can you fucking believe it's been 10 years since Half-Life 2 was released? The reason this website exists, sequel to the best FPS of all time [citation needed] REJOICE! PARTAY! Reflect on your wasted life on this website!
How about we all remember what we we doing in our lives 10 years ago and tell stories around the camp fire?
Steam Discovery Update
Posted 23 Sep 2014Having passed the 100 million active user mark, and its library having grown from 2400 to 3700 games in the past 9 months, it was high time for a modernisation of the store, and Steam's new store front endeavours to do just that.
You can now enjoy a more powerful search engine, games personally recommended for you, the ability to "follow" a game like a S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and the ability to create your own curated game list. Hey,
maybe we'll make a Half-Life Fallout list. Here's HLF's official list.
Left 4 Dead 2 finally uncensored in Australia
Posted 2 Sep 2014Are you only one centimetre away from a mental meltdown and need one excuse to go on a koala killing spree with your weaponised didgeridoo? Then rejoice! Everyone's favourite cooperative zombie murder simulator has been resubmitted and newly accepted in its uncut glory to and by Australia's rating board with a manly R18+ rating!
This is great news, albeit several years late in the making. Don't worry aussies, the free world will liberate the shit out of you some day.
Brumi songs
Posted 27 Jul 2014I've been recording my own music for a while, and most of what I've published online are karaoke-like parody tracks, like HLF's own server transfer song to celebrate us users finally getting total ownership of the site:
I just recorded a cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene with speed reduced by 25.9% (Like a 45 RPM vinyl played at 33. For once, no parody lyrics. I figured what's the use of sharing songs about private jokes only a fraction of people will understand?
Requests welcome, but prepare to be ignored.
EDIT: as a bonus, here's a picture of my (very temporary) "recording studio" I used for Jolene.
Steam controller now has a thumbstick
Posted 23 Jul 2014Yes the rumours were true! Valve was bought by EA this morning, in a...wait. That's not right...
No, what I meant to write is that Valve's (in)famous Steam controller project had shown yet another stage of evolution. When it was first revealed, it looked like nothing we'd seen before, later on it lost a touchscreen and received a more conservative face button placement. The outrageousness of its design is eroding further today, as its latest iteration touts a conventional thumbstick! gasp!
But fear not, the controller trademark twin thumbtrackpads are still there. Cynics will say Valve SOLD OUT! Faithful goers to the church of Gaben will applaud the compromise. Realists will wait for the final consumer release and see.

Sigurdsson smashes Swans transfer record
Swansea have smashed their transfer window in order to keep on-loan midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson at the club on a permanent basis.
The Swans almost doubled the amount they paid to Watford to secure Danny Graham last season when they agreed a £6.8million fee with Hoffenheim for the Iceland international.
"The club are delighted to have agreed terms with both player and club following Sigurdsson's hugely successful loan spell last season," Swans said in a statement.

7 Epic Videos of Gadget Destruction
On Thursday, a video of a father shooting his daughter's laptop hit a nerve across the web, gaining more than a million views in 24 hours. His fury at his daughter -- and her laptop -- had people talking. Unfortunately, destruction of the technology we love (and sometimes love to hate) has been the subject of plenty of videos and pop culture references in the past.

text: Secretary Kerry Will Sign UN Arms Trade Treaty Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 25 Sep 2013 post a comment Obama administration officials say Secretary of State John Kerry will sign the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) "during annual United Nations General Assembly meeting this week." As Breitbart News reported in March, the ATT hands the executive branch the power to work with other governments around the world to shut down portions of the U.S. import firearms market. Such shut downs will be possible by seizing on ambiguous terms and phrases within the ATT--like claiming certain classes of guns are "inappropriate" or claiming others endanger "women and children." Moreover, because the treaty includes a focus on the movement of "small arms [and] light weapons" across borders, it will require some degree of gun registration if it is to be effective. Without the ability to ascertain the origins of these weapons how will enforcing agents know who is moving them across borders? The Associated Press reports that "more than 85 countries have signed the treaty, but it will not take effect until 50 nations have ratified it." On March 23, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) introduced an amendment to keep the U.S. from entering into the treaty. Inhofe's amendment passed by a vote of 53 to 46. (For a list of the 46 Senators who voted "Yes" click HERE.) However, once the U.S. has officially signed the treaty it can be called up for future Senate votes to accept or reject a resolution of ratification. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins

Amanda Kaye (AK)
Age: 31
Current Residence: Alabama
Occupation: Stay-at-home mom
Relationship Status: Married
Skills: Hunting, fire-starting, trained in Native American survival techniques
Amanda (also known as "AK") was raised in a family that performs living history. Learning to survive in and around the year 1812 was a necessity in order to be able to show and teach the public how Native Americans survived without any modern tools during that time period.
AK loves challenges. The harder, the better -- especially when it requires being creative. If there is something that needs to be made, she can more than likely figure out how to make it.
AK is a huge deer hunter and loves taking her daughter hunting. AK has not shot a deer herself in three years since her daughter started hunting because there is nothing better than teaching her everything she knows and hearing her at the dinner table saying, "We are eating my deer."
