Asus EAH4890 driver problems no aero
Hi All,
i dont know whether this should go into drivers or graphic cards category, but mods pls feel free to move this thread.
Basically my problem is this.. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit..
When i loaded into windows for the first time, Windows automatically detected my graphics card (Asus EAH4890 1GB) as Asus HD4890.. Anyway, i downloaded the latest version of Catalyst Control Center with drivers (version 9.9, and version 8.632). Oddly it didnt ask me for a restart..
Then i restarted and expected to find aero enabled.. Instead its not.. Windows Experience Index (WEI) gives me a score of 6.0 when ive read that 4850 are getting scores of 6.5 and above...
Also, ive run 7 before, and i definitely do NOT have aero enabled.. Ive tried editing the registry as suggested on the internet.. but to no avail.
Even in Taskbar and Start Menu settings, the Aero Peek option is ticked but the whole option is greyed out, so im assuming that its not enabled..
Im pretty sure my graphics card is working because i can play graphic intensive games on it smoothly, yet i still get a low WEI for it and i dont have aero enabled.
Im thinking it is the driver problem.. does anyone have problems with the Asus EADH4890? if not what driver version are you using??
All suggestions are welcome and will be attemped.
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2009
Can you go to device manager (type device manager in search) and go to the display tab. See if the the driver is installed and working properly. If it isn't there look for any "unknown devices" with yellow triangles on them.
if everything is ok, try re-running wei. if wei ends up with the same score dont worry abt it. Its just a number and mine changes like the weather
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2009
Hi Ken,
yes driver is running well.. I know WEI is something i shouldnt be bothered with, but i think having a noticeably low WEI score coupled with having lack the AERO interface is coincidental.
hmm thanks anw.

Im sorry I thought wei only, lets try this again
lower wei with no aero IS somethng to be concerned about. Is there anything in event viewer that started about the same time as the aero fail? Any errors in evtvwr? Any hardware changes?

hi aus91blah,
i have an asus eah4890, and my graphics wei is 7.6
luckily for me, i have aero with no problems.
i suggest you download something like driver cleaner, which will totally remove all old drivers files hanging around your system, then download the latest 9.9 drivers from ati.
(oh, by the way, i didn't install the asus drivers/utilities as i found the voltage tweak didn't do much for my card except raise temperatures.)
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2009
Hi Ken,
nope there are no problems at all..
Ok right now i have uninstalled CCC, plus all the old drivers.. Restarted system with windows installing microsoft drivers and restarted again..
The wierd thing is that with these drivers, aero interface is enabled.. i am recalculating my WEI now..
Should i continue with these drivers because they seem to be working..?
One more thing is that there are two drivers i could install.. one from ATI and one from ASUS. which one??
anyway, thanks all for the help.. so far..
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2009
with ATI driver ver 8.632 i have Aero + WEI score of 6.9
i think i got this fixed, error on my part.. meanwhile thanks for everyone's input, i think im gna try to bump it up even more..
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2009
Which you found and fixed. Glad you are working and thanks for posting it. We all have brain freeze sometime<g>
Again welcome to seven forums
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2009
new problem which im gna try to fix again... apparently the new driver isn't so good because games which didn't use to lag now lag.. or maybe aero is taking up graphic memory..
|My System Specs
|23 Sep 2009
Windows 7 x64
I have the same card and have had similar problems.
My score is also 6.0 and running 3DMark 06 I get the following error:
IDirect3DDevice9::Present failed: Device lost (D3DERR_DEVICELOST)
I've tried numerous driver installs from latest ATi's, ASUS drivers and Guru3D drivers (back dated) and nothing seems to work. Esp with the latest ATi drivers I get an error when installing, stating installer cannot find a .INF file and quits mid install.
Strangely all my games run fine. And device manager correctly reports EAH4890 listed, driver working and no issues.
I don't have the Aero problem, Aero has been working fine from day 1 of this install of Windows 7
But the EAH4890 has me scratching my head ....

Continuing my series on early reviews of my book On the Historicity of Jesus, today I am writing about the detailed review by F. Ramos. If you know of reviews I haven't covered by now (or follow-up segments of reviews I did cover), please post them in comments (though please also remark on your own estimation of their merits).
This review is by a person of unknown interests and qualifications. It is an extraordinarily long Amazon review (well over 10,000 words altogether), by someone named F. Ramos (who even continued their review in comments on another customer review, but that I address there). Since Amazon reviews can be edited after the fact, I will be commenting on the version that existed originally (which I have saved for reference). I have no control over whether anything in it subsequently changes.
Ramos's review is largely disingenuous and often makes false claims about the book, and covertly defends Christian fundamentalism throughout. For example, he often asks rhetorical questions as if I had no answer, without telling readers that those questions are answered in the very books he is referring to. He likewise often implies the book doesn't address something, when in fact it does. And when he does that, he offers no response to what the book actually argues. Meanwhile the evidence throughout his review reveals he is a Christian fundamentalist who can't abide the conclusion that Jesus didn't exist and needs to rationalize his way out of it, in the face of an extremely tight argument against him. Indeed, he cannot even abide the notion that the Gospels aren't true accounts of Jesus!
Let's see what I mean…

- 2 tablespoons chopped scallion (white and pale-green parts only)
- 10 cups fresh spinach (10 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon kirmizi biber (Turkish chili powder), or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of paprika
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Nutritional Information

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Mix yogurt, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 300°. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add leek and scallion; reduce heat to low. Cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and lemon juice; season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, turning frequently, until wilted, 4–5 minutes.
Transfer spinach mixture to 10" skillet, leaving any excess liquid behind. If using 2 smaller skillets, divide spinach mixture equally between skillets. Make 4 deep indentations in center of spinach in larger skillet or 2 indentations in each small skillet. Carefully break 1 egg into each hollow, taking care to keep yolks intact. Bake until egg whites are set, 10–15 minutes.
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add kirmizi biber and a pinch of salt and cook until butter starts to foam and browned bits form at bottom of pan, 1–2 minutes. Add oregano and cook for 30 seconds longer. Remove garlic halves from yogurt; discard. Spoon yogurt over spinach and eggs. Drizzle with spiced butter.

*Other patterns were drafted and designed by myself
-I wanted to give the shorts an edgier more rocker look so they mesh well with my boyfriend's band t-shirts
-Added my own version of bellowed cargo pockets – placement is the same as pattern

Got a problem never been asked before so here I am, have a teacher (Polish) who just bought a new laptop when in Poland (Toshiba, its above board with warranty etc) and she was told it would be OK in England, however getting here its in Polish and she wants it to be in English. What options does she have to either change the language or is it a case of getting new restore discs in English instead of Polish, I presume from Toshiba.
Think I found the answer, if Home edition, need to purchase english vista, if Ultimate or Enterprise then can change via control panel settings, multi-language.

The dazzling icescape at the top of our planet is mutating into a place that is barely recognizable to those who have studied it for years.
The Arctic is home to some of the world's most dramatic climate change, scientists say, with warming oceans and air melting ice at a rate experts never imagined possible. The warming there has drastic implications for the rest of the earth, scientists say.
"The Arctic is a very useful bellwether of change, and it's ringing," Jason Box, an American glaciologist, told NBC News' Ann Curry. Curry traveled to far corners of the globe for "Ann Curry Reports: Our Year of Extremes - Did Climate Change Just Hit Home?"
The special, which takes a look at the Arctic, drought-stricken regions in the American West, rising seas on Florida's coastline, and extreme weather events all over the world, comes days after a panel of some of the world's top scientists delivered the sobering news that climate change is already being felt in every continent and across the oceans.
"It is a call for action," Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which issued the groundbreaking climate report Monday, told the Associated Press.
Those who have witnessed the Arctic's transformation loudly echo that call.

That's the opinion of Bishop Nelly Ritchie of the Evangelical Methodist Church of Argentina, who spoke about her country's crisis during a Feb. 5 briefing with staff of the United Methodist Board of Global Ministries.">
Argentine bishop faults foreign debt
Looting by desperate citizens after the bank failures in Argentina was not nearly as
serious as the "systemic pillaging" of that Latin American country by foreign interests.

I'm wondering if it's possible for passport holders of countries that do not recognise other countries to travel to that particular country. Israel is not recognised by the Malaysian passport, so would it be possible for a Malaysian (passport holder) to travel to Israel and just not have their passport stamp, or would Israel refuse the bearer entry/visa?
Israel allows Citizens of all countries to enter its borders, as long as they have an appropriate visa. There are countries for whose citizens Israel doesn't require a visa for a tourist stay of no more than 90 days. Malaysia and the other countries that don't recognize Israel and don't have diplomatic relations with Israel are not on that list so a Malaysian citizen would need to acquire a visa prior to their visit to Israel.
There is no Israeli representation in Malaysia, so a visa request would need to be filed at a representative at another country. Israel does have an embassy in Singapore. Or one might search the Israeli Foreign Affair Ministry site for more information.
Also it should be noted that while Israel may allow you to enter its borders, Malaysia has restrictions on visiting Israel. As noted in answers to other questions on this site, Israel allows for border control to not stamp a visitor's passport if they ask. This permits the the passport to have no record of the visit to Israel.

Get a seat for the Ford's "The Mercy Seat"
March 31, 2011
The John Anson Ford Amphitheatre is one of the county's best-kept secrets: a miniature outdoor venue that's a charming cousin to the much larger Hollywood Bowl, located across the Hollywood Freeway.
But down below its main floor, the Ford reveals another secret: an intimate interior performing space for experimental productions. And there, as part of the
[Inside] the Ford New Play Series, you'll find the Vs. Theatre Company's presentation of playwright Neil LaBute's "The Mercy Seat," now running through April 24, 2011 in its Los Angeles premiere.
Described as "a caustically funny examination of opportunism in the wake of tragedy," LaBute's play offers a post-modern twist on a classic theme: what if a sudden calamity offered you a chance to step into a new life? Would you take it?
Performances run Wednesday-Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. plus a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m. Buy your tickets online here. And here are the driving directions.

Arlo Guthrie at UCLA Live
March 31, 2011
He's "coming into Los Angeles…"
Folk musician and storyteller Arlo Guthrie plays UCLA Live's Royce Hall on April 8. He'll be joined by the harmonies and instrumental accompaniment of his son, Abe Guthrie, and The Burns Sisters.
Guthrie, the son of legendary Woody Guthrie, was part of the pantheon of folk heroes who made their bones during the cultural tumult of the1960s.
Guthrie first came to prominence in 1967 with "Alice's Restaurant," an autobiographical 18 minute story/song that humorously and lightheartedly touched on the trials and tribulations of the anti-war movement. His stage performances have now spanned half a century, including an appearance at Woodstock.
The concert begins at 8 p.m. at Royce Hall on UCLA's campus in Westwood. Tickets range from $33 to $53 and are available online or by phone at (310) 825-2101. UCLA students can attend for the discounted price of $15. Avoid the $10 required for parking by planning your trip with Metro.

Explore historic Union Station—on foot
March 31, 2011
The Studio for Southern California History, located in the heart of Chinatown, is a non-profit community resource dedicated to sharing our region's colorful social history as a way to help modern-day Angelenos rediscover a sense of place.
Where better to start than Union Station, opened in 1939 as one of North America's last, and grandest, old-fashioned railway stations?
On Saturday, April 2, from 10:00 a.m.–noon, the Studio will host a free walking tour exploring not just Union Station, but also the rich history of the communities and rail lines that predate its construction. Meet at the front entrance on Alameda, but you need to RSVP with the names and number of guests, either by phone at (213) 229-8890, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Boom times on the L.A. River
March 31, 2011
When the heavens open, as they did epically last month, the Los Angeles River becomes a roaring, churning testament to urban junk and waste.
With a collection area of nearly 900 square miles, it carries in its rain-swollen waters anything that can be chucked into flood-control channels or pushed down curbside catch basins—sofas, stereos, soccer balls, spray paint cans from taggers, whatever.
Then there's the trash, layers of plastic bags and Styrofoam mixed with tangled vegetation mowed down by fast moving waters on the river's channel bottom, where it's been allowed to grow wild again.
At the end of this mucky 51-mile journey to the sea is Jared Deck of Los Angeles County's Public Works Department. He oversees a multi-million dollar operation in Long Beach to corral all that junk in a boom unfurled across the river, just north of the Queen Mary and the harbor. Think of it as a goal line stand.
At first, it's hard not to be caught off guard by Deck's youthfulness in a bureaucracy in which some guys have been on the job longer than he's been alive. But then you learn that the 26-year-old is a Hermosa Beach surfer with a unique feel for the value of his job—and those of his colleagues in the Flood Maintenance Division—every time he paddles into the water.
"It's fulfilling," Deck says. "My playground is the outdoors so I enjoy doing anything I can to make it better."
In March, the stakes were historically high for him and the boom, which was first placed across the river 11 years ago as a pilot project. More dammed up debris—460 tons of it—was hauled out of the water than at any time before, tangible evidence of the severity of the March storms. The tonnage included full, uprooted trees. (See video below of the boom in action.)
To be sure, the county, along with its private and government partners, has worked hard to significantly reduce the amount of debris and pollutants flowing into the Los Angeles River from a watershed area of nine million people.
Among other things, county officials have installed 11,000 catch basin screens and other devices in unincorporated areas and have encouraged cities across the region to do the same. They've also launched ad campaigns to discourage dumping and educate the public about the relationship between the ocean and what they wash down their driveways.
Still, during the storm season between October and April, all bets are off. Those catch basin inserts, for example, are designed to unlock so greater loads can be accommodated and street flooding can be reduced. And, with as much as 330 million gallons a day flowing through the river, there's little to do but wait for the debris to hit the boom.
Formerly called the Los Angeles River Trash and Debris Collection System, the boom is operated by a private contractor, Frey Environmental of Newport Beach. On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors renewed Frey's contract for an annual sum of $795,000, with a 66-month maximum of about $4.4 million.
Since Frey first got the business in 2003, Dave Duncan has been there for the company as one its site operation managers. During the past eight years, he says he's seen it all, including the sad discovery of a 35-year-old woman's body. "I thought it was a mannequin," he says.
Duncan says he understands why there's so much old junk that ends up at the boom, where it's lifted into dumpsters by cranes with "grab buckets."
"If you're on the low end of things, making $8 an hour and you don't have money to go to the dump, what do you do? You throw it in the channel and hope for the best," he says.
The experience and continuity that Duncan has brought to the operation gave a sense of confidence to Deck, who, in 2008, was assigned by the county to work directly with the contractor. "Whenever I'm on the site, Dave is always there," says Deck, who was promoted last fall and now supervises the person who got his old job.
Deck grew up in central Maine—"in the middle of the woods"—and attended an engineering school in Worcester, Mass. Deck says he was quickly recruited by Los Angeles County before hiring freezes ended such efforts.
The recruiter, a Boston native, took him straight to the beach. "I was sold from there," says Deck, who had learned to surf while studying abroad in Puerto Rico. An avid skier, too, he now lives in a Hermosa Beach apartment.
In his short number of years here, Deck says he's had a great vantage point for seeing the success of efforts to keep the ocean cleaner by diverting runoff and trapping debris. "When I go surfing," he says, "the water quality is significantly better…It's great to see the system functioning and working."
The boom in action
And here's something you can do: Join the Friends of the Los Angeles River's 22nd annual cleanup on Saturday, April 30th, from 9 a.m. to noon. The details are here.

Grandparents beware…
March 31, 2011
One of the best things about technology is the way it can keep families connected. But in recent weeks, consumer agencies have issued a warning:
Grandparents beware.
A longstanding wire fraud scam has been taking a national toll on loving relatives, particularly seniors, to the point that authorities in recent week have decided to make an all-out assault on it.
"It's become a big issue," says Rigo Reyes, acting director of the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs. "Last year, the Federal Trade Commission got over 60,000 complaints on it."
Here's how it works:
A senior citizen gets an urgent call, email or Facebook message from someone claiming to be a police officer or an adolescent grandchild. The message says the grandchild has been hurt or arrested or is otherwise in trouble, and needs hundreds or thousands of dollars to be wired immediately via money order or Western Union. And one more thing: Don't tell mom and dad.
"The grandparents don't want anyone to be in trouble, so they wire the money without checking first with other family members," says Reyes. "In one case, the grandmother told the caller, 'You don't sound like my grandson,' and the guy said 'I broke my nose in a car accident, so I sound different'.
"But in many cases, the crooks can fool you because they hack into Facebook accounts and get enough information about the family to drop names and birth dates and so forth. They get marketing lists with specific details, names and addresses.
"They can be convincing, but once that money is wired, it can be picked up by anyone with a password — and good luck getting it back."
The Department of Consumer Affairs and the Consumer Federation of America offer these suggestions for seniors to avoid being scammed:
–Always check with other family members if you get an SOS from a family member.
–Be proactive. Create a family code word to signal emergencies to each other
–Never wire money without being absolutely sure of the recipient and the reason.
And this goes for you, too, Mom and Dad.

Trailblazer makes his mark in Calabasas
March 31, 2011
March was a banner month for Don Wallace. And not just because he and his wife, Jeanne, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
"We finished the party," Wallace remembers, "and the very next afternoon, the phone rang." With friends and family still filtering in and out of the Wallaces' 4.5-acre ranchette in the Santa Monica Mountains, the longtime trail advocate let out a whoop as he received news for which he had waited most of his 70-year lifetime:
His beloved Las Virgenes Creek Trail had finally found its way under the Ventura Freeway.
"I was ecstatic," Wallace says, still thrilled at the approval earlier this month of $300,000 in excess county bond funds that will allow the trail to run uninterrupted from the Santa Monica Mountains down through underpasses at the 101 and Agoura Road in Calabasas and on into Malibu Creek State Park.
The trail easement and improvements—officially dubbed "The Don Wallace Trail Project"—will not only connect the Santa Monica Mountains to the beach for people, horses and wildlife, but also honor one of the most zealous and hardworking trail advocates in Southern California.
For decades, Wallace and other activists have sought to create a path that would allow people and animals to follow Las Virgenes Creek from the pristine mountains down to the ocean, but their dream was stymied by development and traffic. Even as crucial tracts were acquired for the public, the 101 Freeway remained a dangerous concrete barrier between the mountain part of the trail and the beach part.
Then, last year, with funding allocated by Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority bought a key swath of wilderness known as Firehouse Hill from the developer Fred Sands. The nearly 200-acre Calabasas property is a gateway to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area—and sits right next to the freeway.
Though environmentalists, activists and government officials cheered the acquisition for many reasons, trail advocates immediately saw its potential as an avenue through which they could bring the Las Virgenes Creek Trail—which is part of a larger loop called the Calabasas Cold Creek Trail—down to and under the 101 along a flood control easement, where it could then connect to the Malibu Creek State Park trail system. They'd just need to make the underpass safe and accessible.
The March vote provided that crucial support, opening the way for a 2,500-foot link that is expected to break ground next year.
"This is a wonderful victory," said Wallace, crediting the many public agencies that pushed for the project. But Wallace's friends and fellow advocates say there's a reason the key link is being named after him.
"He's one of the hardest working gentlemen I know," says Stephanie Abronson, who edits the newsletter for Equestrian Trails Inc., Corral 36, a mountain equestrian group.
Born in Tennessee , Wallace moved to Van Nuys as a teenager after his father, a restaurant owner, visited relatives here and made it a goal to move to California . At 20, he married Jeanne, whom he'd met in a chemistry lab at Pierce College .
The couple settled in Canoga Park , had two sons and got into horseback riding, eventually deciding that they wanted enough land to have their own corral. Wallace, by now a Los Angeles city firefighter, found a spread near the unincorporated community of Monte Nido, and the couple built a house on it. They still live there with assorted horses, cats and dogs and a potbellied pig.
A trail ran near the Wallace's acreage, and one day in the early 1970s, he says, a neighbor who wanted to build a winery came out with a bulldozer and blocked it in an attempt to keep passersby away.
"That trail had been put in in 1935 by the Boy Scouts," says Wallace, who eventually forced the neighbor to open an alternative easement.
"It took three years of work and masses of paper, but I learned never to give up and never to say that it can't be done."
Since then, Wallace has served on the Santa Monica National Recreation Area Advisory Commission, the Resources Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Malibu Creek Watershed Council and many other groups seeking to improve the mountains community.
He also served as a deputy for then-Supervisor Edmund D. Edelman in the early 1990s, and ran for supervisor himself in 1988 and 1994.
Throughout, when he wasn't lobbying for trails or riding his horses on them, he was out clearing them with his bare hands, says Ruth Gerson, president of the Santa Monica Mountains Trail Council—"repairing tread, cutting back brush, reducing erosion, and encouraging others to work with him."
That commitment has been challenged in recent years by health problems. Wallace says he has faced a stroke, vascular surgery and two bouts of prostate cancer since the 1990s; last year he underwent a triple bypass.
But his projects are far from finished—he's already wondering how to restore the old Boy Scout trail behind his house.
"I walk every day," says the trail blazer. "And I'm a very strong guy for 70."

Capturing native plants on paper
March 24, 2011
Tucked away just northwest of downtown Los Angeles in the shadows of the Harbor and Hollywood Freeways, Vista Hermosa Natural Park is a welcome patch of green in a vast concrete cityscape.
This Sunday, March 27, at 2:00 pm, join a volunteer docent for a stroll through Vista Hermosa's gardens, followed by a special drawing session that calls upon your inner naturalist to capture the floral beauty and put to paper images of the native plant species.
It's all courtesy of our two regional state park agencies—the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority, which together help acquire and maintain thousands of acres of precious urban wilderness areas in and around the Los Angeles region.
Vista Hermosa Park is located at 100 N. Toluca Street in Los Angeles. Participants should meet at the Grotto Amphitheatre for the two-hour adventure.
Here's Vista Hermosa Park's online information, or call (213) 250-1100.

A Marine's tale unfolds at the Hammer
March 24, 2011
Marine Corps Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger served his country faithfully for nearly 25 years, toughening up thousands of enlistees as their drill instructor. But then his nine-year-old contracted a rare form of leukemia which eventually took her life. Engulfed by grief, but determined to seek out the truth, he eventually stumbled upon a cover-up of a massive water-pollution accident and set about trying to expose it.
UCLA's Hammer Museum Work in Progress series, in conjunction with the Sundance Institute, tonight will screen the documentary of his story, "Semper Fi: Always Faithful," tonight, March 24, 2011 at 8:00 pm, followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Rachel Libert and Tony Hardmon.
Hammer programs are free to the public, but you'll still need tickets—available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Billy Wilder Theater Box Office an hour in advance of showtime. Hammer members get preferred seating, depending on availability. No advance reservations or RSVPs needed.
The Hammer Museum is located at 10899 Wilshire Blvd, on the northeast corner of Westwood and Wilshire Boulevards in Westwood Village, 3 blocks east of the 405 freeway's Wilshire Boulevard exit. Park underneath after 6p for only $3. Here's everything you need to know to visit the Hammer, or call (310) 443-7000.

Happy 100th, Tennessee
March 24, 2011
Marlon Brando's Stanley Kowalski, howling in the night for his indifferent Stella. Vivien Leigh's Blanche DuBois, depending on "the kindness of strangers" as she slips into madness. Elizabeth Taylor's Maggie, feral and frustrated, restless as a "cat on a hot tin roof."
These are just a few of American literature's most indelible characters as conjured up by playwright Tennessee Williams, who would have turned 100 this Saturday, March 26. Fittingly, Hollywood's Fountain Theatre will celebrate the birthday centennial for Williams—who died in 1981 at the age of 70—with the West Coast premiere production of Williams' final play, "A House Not Meant to Stand."
Honoring the playwright's roots as a son of Mississippi, the Fountain will be serving up some Southern hospitality along with birthday cake and mint juleps. A video montage will touch on the highlights of Williams' fertile creative life; audience members are invited to dress the part of their favorite characters.
For showtimes, directions and ticket information, visit the Fountain Theatre online at www.FountainTheatre.com, or call (323) 663-1525 for further information.

I've been using PureCSSMenus on a series of article pages on zodiac signs. I'm also using them on the index page for these and other articles. The menus are simple, one item and several sub-items.
On the index page, they function beautifully. However, on the zodiac article pages, for some reason I'm getting a red(ish) dashed border around each sub-item. I cannot for the life of me figure out where it's getting them from.
I have a global link style that turns red with a dashed red line when the link is hovered over, and I thought that's where it must be coming from. But when I tested it by changing the colour and border-bottom style of the hovered links, the CSS menu problem remains unchanged (still has the red dashed outline around each sub-item). It happens in Firefox, Chrome and IE, and only on the zodiac article pages (not on the index page). So it has to be coming from something in those pages somehow.
Since this only shows up when I hover over the top item or the sub-items, Firebug is of limited help. Firebug does show the styles when I mouseover an item, but I can't see where it's coming from in the styles that are listed in the window.
I even went back to PureCSSMenu and got some fresh code, but the problem is still there. (Here's a sample page that uses the new code.)
I'm hoping that someone here can help me figure out where it's getting this dashed red border from, so that I can get it out of there. (Yes, I know the rest of the coding is a mess. :blush: Some day I'll do a spring cleaning of the site, but for now I must deal with only the problems.)
I would post the code or CSS but since it could be coming from a few different style sheets, I didn't think it would make sense to dump a manuscript worth of code here. If posting any of the code or if further explanation will help, let me know and I'll do what I can.
Many thanks in advance for any help with this!

Noise In Brief
African American Festival has the theme "Happy," a lineup featuring Johnny Gill and Brandy
Rarely — and we mean rarely — do we get excited when a press release from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake pops into our inbox. But when we clicked on the release announcing the lineup for the 38th Annual African American Festival and saw the festival's theme was "Happy," we scrolled down with anticipation, thinking the city had scored a major coup and landed pop megastar Pharrell (and his goofy Arby's hat).
Undoubtedly the mere mention of Pharrell and "Happy" in the same sentence has already got "Because I'm hapyyyyy/ Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth" buzzing through your head space. In the event you're just waking up from a long winter hibernation, we're of course referring the pop smash (below) that still sits atop the charts and continues the former Neptunes producer's streak of huge hits.
Still, the lineup does feature Brandy, singer of plenty of hits in her own right, crooner Johnny Gill, R&B band Mint Condition, gospel group The Choir Boyz and Preachers of L.A. star Deitrick Haddon, along with Monifa, Chico DeBarge, and Jacob Latimore. And the whole festival, which takes place June 20-21 at Camden Yards, is free. So good on ya for that, SRB. But the big fish for 2015 is certainly out there. Aim high!

Cassini reveals two faces of Iapetus
Cassini has sent back a mountain-load of work for its mission scientists, having shot literally hundreds of pictures of Saturn's moon Iapetus on its fly-by this weekend. The dark and the light: Saturn's moon Iapetus The pictures show the stark contrast between the moon's two hemispheres. One is described as being as black as …
Iapetus, the ying-yang moon
Am I the only one thinking of a giant ying-yang symbol in space, perhaps it's a message our undercover dolphin overloads have sent us?
Link to September shots
Sure is purty ain't she ?
Not everything in back and white...
2008 Guinness advert ahoy!
To me...
It's the Oreo moon! If our own is made of cheese, why not?
Buggy G Riphead
Iapetus, or Future Sound of London album artwork circa 1994? You decide.
"plenty here to keep many scientists busy for many years"
Busy doing what exactly?
Parkinson's Law - work expands to fill the time available.
Black and white
Either something black has crashed onto an otherwise white Iapetus (or vice versa) or it is two different moons that collided and stuck together.
And did Cassini remain in Safe Mode for six more reboots before coming back to normal? Must have done eventually because the pics don't have "Safe Mode" in each corner.
Should have named it Lokai
It's probably been hiding in our solar system for 50,000 years. We need to keep a lookout in case a white and black moon comes looking for it.
Unofficial pics
Including brief but stunning animation of the mountain belt flypast:
about a real as a cheese moon!
how come NASA always has a problem when sending crucial pictures like when flying over Cydonia? The data link breaks down... not to mention their preventive lack of color. Arthur, say something! Guess you already did in your novel, Space Odyssey. Ciao to all, may the truth be known!
Finally get a look at Arthur's Moon
As I was looking into one of those inky black blobs in the white section, I thought, "Oh my God, it's full of stars!" Or is that just because I didn't get any sleep last night? ;)
@ Michael Sheils
How does one overload a dolphin overlord?
"....perhaps it's a message our undercover dolphin overloads have sent us?"
More pics
It looks for all the world^WSaturn as if a gob of soot hit a marshmallow:
Wrong explanation
"galactic cosmic ray hit"
No, it was just the stargate opening and closing. The probe was caught by the Black Monolith in the middle of the white are, shipped to the aliens for examination, taken apart, put together, and returned back to the same time and space. Sorry for the small glitch in reassembly that caused it to enter safe mode...
