kernel panic : VFS :unable to mount root fs on 08:03
Now I installed another kernel which 2.4.19.
I compiled kernel 2.4.19 using following steps
linux-2.4.19$make oldconfig
linux-2.4.19$make clean - make bzImage - make modules - make modules_install
then copied arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot as vmlinuz-2.4.19
then made changes in lilo.conf
But when i am trying to boot from any one of this kernel I am getting following errors and then it stops there.
'ds:no socket drivers loaded'
'kmod:failed to exec /sbin/modprob -s -k block-major-8 , error =2'
'VFS:cannot open root device"803" or 08:03'
'Please appen a correct "root=" boot option'
'kernel panic : VFS :unable to mount root fs on 08:03'
**** my LILO.conf looks like this
Pls guide me to come out from this problem.
Thanks in advance

08:03 iirc refers to the 3rd device on on the 8th device node... which is basically scsi device sda3.
make sure that you compiled scsi support for your hard disk and controller in the kernel, and that sda3 is the correct disk drive for your root partition

You need to append the correct root= label in lilo.conf, for example at the end of the kernel line, say your kernel is on hard disk 1, partition 1:
hard disk 2, partition 1:
etc. SCSI devices are /dev/sda; /dev/sdb; etc.

my bootloader is grub
I have ever done as said.
but it is no use for my host.
And also have I changed the /etc/fstab to boot the root FS
Due to I have ever installed the VERITAS Volum Manager 2.2,
after I encapsulated the local disk as rootdg,
All of the partion map was changed
just like
/dev/hdc6 ----->/dev/hdc9
although Ihave changed the menu.lst file ,root (hd0,5)---->(hd0,8)
but it is no use!:(
So I have to re-install the OS :(

All right, we'll admit it. If it wasn't for Lindsay Lohan wearing this tee we probably wouldn't have posted. Frankly I don't know what the hell it is. It's probably old, maybe vintage, but pretty much looks worn in beyond recognition. One more for the Lohan collection.

Love this look on Lohan, Not sure about the skinny jeans though, I added you to my blogroll, love the blog, keep it up.↓

Sutton United boss Paul Doswell may have been in football management for more than 10 years, but he still gets a tingle of excitement as a new season draws near.
The Us kick off their Blue Square South campaign at Basingstoke on Saturday having suffered a 1-0 reverse in their final pre-season match at Met Police at the weekend.
Doswell completed his squad this week with the capture of 25-year-old former Tamworth midfielder Nick McKoy and ex-Millwall 19-year-old Connor McLaren, after he impressed in last week's friendly with Southampton.
"There was one place up for grabs before the Met Police game, but that is sorted out now," he said.
"While it has been a pleasure to do pre-season this year, we're desperate for the season to start.
"You need to do the friendly games, but there is nothing on them. You want to be playing for points or a cup run – so everyone looks forward to the start of the season.
"If you don't get excited about it you may as well not be in the game."
And Doswell reckoned the flexibility he has in his 17-man squad will counter any perceived shortage in numbers.
"Through the versatility of several players we're covered just about everywhere."

Oak Ridge (WVLT) -- A landmark in the Secret City began its new life on Saturday evening.
The Grove Theater was originally built by the federal government in 1944.
Its goal was to entertain Oak Ridgers at the peak of the Manhattan Project.
By 2004 it had fallen into a state of disrepair, but a local non-denominational church decided it would make the perfect home for its congregation.
Since then The High Places Community Church has been renovating Grove and on Saturday night, the 600 seat auditorium played host to its first public post renovation performance.
"People are coming to see it for the first time in many years and they are just amazed at what has happened," said Rev. Martin Fischer of High Places Community Church. "It has been a community and church effort."
If you want to visit the newly renovated Grove Theater, the children's choir that performed on Saturday night will be back on Sunday afternoon.
You can read more about the theater by clicking on the link below.

Taking a break from recording his follow-up to 2007's critically acclaimed Epitaph debut RoadKillOvercoat, Busdriver sets out on tour on March 20th, starting in Santa Cruz. Other stops will include the Paid Dues Independent Hip Hop Festival with Sage Francis, Living Legends and Dilated Peoples and the Rothbury Festival with Modest Mouse, Of Montreal and Snoop Dogg. Dates in May are in support of fellow culture-commentators Dizzee Rascal and EL-P.
The 28-year old MC (born Regan Farquhar) has shared the stage with everyone from hip hop visionary RJD2 to acclaimed indie outfit Deerhoof to theatrical folk-tronic duo Cocorosie. It is his ability to bridge the divide between the hip hop and indie scenes that have made him so well-regarded in both.
"A display of pure skill, Busdriver's live show is truly impressive; he seems to freestyle a lot of his stuff completely off the top of his head without ever slowing down or losing the beat." -Village Voice
"Within the barrage of syllables were inventive rhymes and complex commentary on politics and culture, not shying away from vocabulary like 'oligarchy.' But as Busdriver switched between speed-rapping and an occasional mocking pop croon, he put the songs across with as much comedy as self-righteousness." -The New York Times
"Simultaneously a spectacle of calisthenics and a lesson in lyrics, Busdriver's voice pitters and patters with the fury of a concert flutist over complicated and often jarring production." -The Los Angeles Times
"Busdriver put on a spastic, explosive show to a devoted audience full of local fans and international hip-hop heads entranced by hyper-quick, off-the cuff brilliance. -Pitchfork review of Coachella 2007 performance

Kids for Nature is an outdoor education programme developed by NParks to meet the objectives of the Ministry of Education's Programme for Active Learning (PAL) initiative.
Targeted at the P1 and P2 levels, the Kids for Nature programme aims to:
• Equip children with relevant skills and knowledge to enable them to be safe and comfortable in the
• Cultivate a sense of ownership for the environment, encourage and provide opportunities for pupils to
take action to sustain our City in a Garden
• Shape a child's character and attitudes through experiential learning in their immediate outdoor
Kids for Nature places strong emphasis on helping children develop Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies. The activities are crafted to include both group and individual tasks, so as to give each child ample opportunities to develop self awareness, social awareness, self management, relationship management and responsible decision making skills.
Both the P1 & P2 modules consist of eight lessons each. The duration of each lesson is two hours. The first seven lessons consist of outdoor activities conducted within your own school compound, such as exploring your school's garden. The final lesson will be an excursion to a park. For the P1s, we recommend for the final activity to be a picnic in a park near your school. For the P2s, we recommend for them to go on a guided walk, at either Jacob Ballas Children's Garden or HortPark.
Kids for Nature is designed such that the P2 module is a comprehensive follow-up to the P1 module. While it is possible to take up either the P1 or P2 programme on its own, we encourage taking up the programme in its entirety, so that your students will be able to benefit from a more comprehensive range of outdoor skills.
Kids for Nature is tailored to be conducted by your school teachers. In order to equip them with the skills and knowledge to do so, NParks will conduct a one-day teachers' training workshop at your school. During this workshop, teachers will learn how to conduct the activities covered in the Kids for Nature programme by taking part in them.
Your school will also be provided with the soft copies of the P1 and P2 Kids for Nature programme guidebooks, which contain detailed lesson plans, worksheets and other relevant resources.
In summary, schools that take up Kids for Nature will be provided with:
• a one-day teachers' training workshop
• P1 & P2 programme guidebooks in CD format
• a field trip for P2 students at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden or HortPark
If you are interested in taking up the Kids for Nature programme, please contact us at:
• Denise Chen, Email:
• Shannon Lim, Email:
We will be happy to go down to your school for a meeting, to explain more about the programme and advise you on the costs.
Download the "Introduction to Kids for Nature" slides here.
Download the sample lesson plan here.
Kids for Nature provides students with opportunities to engage in experiential learning. These students are amazed by the furry texture of the leaves of the Elephant Creeper plant at HortPark.
Going outdoors and seeing fascinating plants up close (instead of viewing them in a book or on the internet) helps students to be more appreciative and respectful of nature.
This group of students chanced upon a tapioca harvesting session during their P2 field trip at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden. One of them even got to help!
Teachers exploring their school garden during the teachers' training workshop.
During the workshop, the teachers try out the activities themselves, making them better equipped to conduct the lessons with their classes.

Karate is a great activity for kids. Our curriculum stresses age appropriate, physical fitness, self-defense strategies, as we encourage positive values.
Looking for a new challenging way to work out, relieve stress, develop self defense skills? Karate exercises the body mind and spirit. It is an individual journey but done with a group!
Karate is all about self-defense, but we recognize that spending the rest of your life training for a terrible situation is not for everyone. We offer occasional seminars and series that focus on simple, environmental awareness skills, down and dirty defense techniques, and common object weapons training.

Its score is 2.9 points better than last year, reflecting a substantial improvement in investment freedom that outweighs combined declines in business freedom, freedom from corruption, and labor freedom. Vanuatu is ranked 18th out of 42 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is just below the world average.Vanuatu was first assessed in the 2009 Index, and its economic freedom has advanced only modestly. Improvements in five of the 10 economic freedoms, including investment freedom, monetary freedom, and labor freedom, have been offset by declines in trade freedom and business freedom. Although it's economy is still ranked "mostly unfree," Vanuatu has achieved its highest score ever in the 2014 Index.Stronger commitment to institutional reform is needed to spark development of a truly dynamic private sector. Property rights are poorly protected, and inadequate legal infrastructure deters investment. Corruption continues to undermine the rule of law. High tariffs and non-tariff barriers to trade hold back integration into the global marketplace. Read more about Vanuatu Economy. Close Background The Republic of Vanuatu, 83 islands spread over 4,500 square miles of the South Pacific, achieved independence in 1980 and is today a parliamentary democracy that remains divided between its English-speaking and French-speaking citizens. In the 2012 elections, 18 parties won seats in the legislature, with the Vanua'aku Pati party winning the most seats at eight. Sato Kilman served as prime minister until March 2013, when several members of parliament crossed the aisle to join the opposition and forced Kilman to resign. The legislature subsequently elected Moana Carcasses Kalosil of the Green Confederation party as prime minister. The economy is dominated by tourism and agriculture, and over 80 percent of the population is involved in farming, which accounts for roughly 20 percent of GDP. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 40.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 33.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Corruption is a serious problem, and official abuse is serious and widespread. Vanuatu has a fairly effective legal system based on British common law, and the judiciary is largely independent, but a lack of resources that hinders the hiring and retention of qualified judges and prosecutors results in backlogs. Tribal chiefs often adjudicate local disputes. Land disputes are a constant source of tension. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 81.7 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 97.3 Create a Graph using this measurement Vanuatu has no individual income or corporate tax. Taxes include a value-added tax (VAT) and import duties. The overall tax burden is 16.4 percent of the size of the domestic economy. In recent years, government spending, which accounts for 25 percent of GDP, has been dominated by the health and education sectors. Public debt is equivalent to 20 percent of gross domestic output. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 54.8 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 56.8 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 82.7 Create a Graph using this measurement Bureaucratic procedures are complex and lack transparency. Incorporating a business takes more than a month, and completing licensing requirements costs over four times the level of average annual income. Labor regulations are relatively rigid, although the formal labor market is not fully developed. Prudent fiscal and monetary policies have kept fiscal deficits, public debt, and inflation lower than elsewhere in the region. Open MarketsView Methodology Trade Freedom 48.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Investment Freedom 60.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Financial Freedom 40.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The average tariff rate is 18.5 percent. Vanuatu is working to upgrade its customs procedures. The government screens new foreign investment, and foreign investors may lease but not own land. The financial sector remains rudimentary. The state-owned National Bank of Vanuatu has the largest branch network in the country. Bank lending has increased in recent years, but access to secure financial services remains poor.

PowerPoint Presentation | Fact Sheet
Each of Georgia's counties has an office of the Division of Family and Children Services. The Divisions provide temporary public assistance, social services, child support collection and employment services for individuals, families and children which may include food stamps, cash assistance, Medicaid, adult protective services, foster care for children, emergency energy assistance, employment workshops and job search assistance.
Welfare is no longer an entitlement in Georgia, and receipt of cash assistance is limited to a maximum of four years during one's lifetime. Georgia may allow a "hardship" exemption from work requirements and the four-year benefit limit for the elderly and disabled. The new rules and regulations are very different and very complicated.
Your local Family and Children Services office can provide you with full details about the new Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. They can also tell you about benefits for working families including Medicaid coverage for children, child care assistance, earned income tax credit, food stamps, and assistance with child support. You always come out ahead with Work First.

Comptroller investigates foster care
Forgotten Children
"They are everybody's children, and nobody's children. They are the forgotten children in the Texas foster care system." Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn's foreboding words open a new report by the Texas Comptroller's office, Forgotten Children.
Forgotten Children is the result of a Comptroller investigation of Texas foster care and the state agency primarily responsible for it, the Department of Family and Protective Services--an agency better known by its pre-February 2004 name, the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (DPRS).
The study was prompted by numerous published accounts alleging fraud and abusive conditions in the state foster care system. Forgotten Children confirmed many of these findings and revealed other troubling issues.
"I am appalled at the conditions too many of our foster children must endure," Strayhorn said. "I challenge any defender of the current system to put their child or their grandchild in some of the places I've seen for one day, much less for a lifetime.
"I want this report to give these kids a voice--and open some eyes," Strayhorn said.
Among the report's findings:
- many children have been neglected and abused in foster care, some by their caregivers and some by other children;
- many children spend their time in foster care being shuttled among many all-too-temporary "homes";
- many children with special needs, such as the medically fragile and those with mental retardation, do not receive the services they need;
- some "therapeutic" camps offer deplorable living conditions and are not held to the same standards as other facilities;
- many foster children receive disturbing amounts of mind-altering psychotropic drugs with little or no accountability; and
- some facilities routinely mix potentially dangerous children, such as sexual offenders and those with violent criminal records, with foster children who may become new victims.
Of course, many Texas foster children receive high-quality care.
"Some of them find homes with caring foster parents or in treatment centers with experienced and caring providers--but some do not," said Strayhorn.
And even the best families and providers are hampered by the system. Texas foster care has, for instance, state-run and privately contracted elements. The state-run side of the system, which accounts for just more than a quarter of all days of foster care delivered, consists of foster families and group homes that contract directly with DPRS. The much larger private side consists of state-licensed residential facilities and child-placing agencies that recruit and train foster families.
Since DPRS holds primary responsibility for enforcing licensing standards, the dual system in effect requires the agency to regulate itself, a clear conflict of interest.
"We must end the current system that has the fox guarding the hen house," Strayhorn said. "We cannot tolerate a system where regulators regulate themselves."
The system also provides perverse financial incentives. Caregivers can make more money by keeping children in expensive and restrictive placements than by helping them return to their birth homes or become adopted.
Furthermore, caregivers receive the same rates for each service level regardless of the quality of the services and facilities they provide. A facility that invests in comfortable, inviting facilities receives no more per child than one that barely meets minimum licensing standards.
A lack of adequate oversight, moreover, has allowed some caregivers to "game" the system, using state and federal tax dollars to purchase services from allied companies they themselves own.
Forgotten Children offers a number of proposals to ensure the safety of Texas foster children while improving the care and cost-effectiveness of the services they receive. These recommendations could increase federal foster care funding by $21.3 million annually, while allowing DPRS to redirect nearly $109 million into the oversight of foster care from 2005 to 2009.
Improving the quality of care
The Comptroller's report recommends eliminating DPRS' dual system for foster care. This would allow the agency to focus its efforts on its all-important role of guaranteeing the safety of foster children.
This step, which should be phased in over three years, would make private child-placing agencies responsible for recruiting and contracting with foster families and supplying caseworkers to monitor the care they provide.
DPRS should use the phase-in period to strengthen its licensing and contracting standards. In particular, contracts with child-placing agencies and residential treatment centers should be revised to stress measurable positive outcomes.
Increasing funding
Innovative funding techniques outlined in Forgotten Children could be used to improve foster care.
Several proposals would increase federal funding. They include amending the state's Medicaid Plan to take advantage of federal funding for rehabilitative services; drawing additional funding for preplacement services; and assisting foster caregivers in obtaining Medicaid reimbursement for their services. And federal dollars could be used to prevent the unnecessary institutionalization of foster children with special needs.
Improving accountability
Forgotten Children recommends steps to ensure accountability in foster care. Caseworkers should be subject to formal documentation requirements for all required visits with their charges.
All caregiver contracts should include stiff conflict-of-interest provisions. And DPRS' current practice of allowing providers to reject or eject foster children from their care should end by 2008.
The report also recommends that the Texas Department of Health and local health departments assume responsibility for health inspections of all foster care residential facilities.
Ensuring health and safety
Mixing children who have violent tendencies or histories of sexual assault with other foster children should end immediately. DPRS should track and report all cases involving child-on-child abuse and investigate such complaints thoroughly.
FBI criminal checks should be obtained for all caregivers working directly with children before they begin work. These caregivers should be subjected to drug testing, and DPRS should consider psychological testing as well.
Forgotten Children also recommends that the state's Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) form a review team to investigate the use of psychotropic medication on foster children.
Providing a brighter future
Finally, the report notes that foster children's problems seldom end when they grow up; they are prone to homelessness, drug abuse and other problems.
Forgotten Children recommends that DPRS and HHSC seek additional federal funding to help foster youths thrive in the adult world. Similarly, DPRS should work with local work force development boards to expand the services available to foster teens. Another proposal recommends that DPRS work with volunteer and advocacy organizations to create a Foster Grandma and Grandpa program that recruits seniors to provide foster children with mentoring and emotional support.

First Solar, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results
First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2013. Net sales were $520 million in the quarter, a decrease of $235 million from the prior quarter and a decrease of $438 million from the second quarter of 2012. The sequential decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to lower systems business project revenues as well as lower module-only sales volume to third-parties. Compared to the second quarter of 2012, the decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to lower systems business project revenue as initial revenue recognition for AVSR and the sale of Silver State North were both achieved in the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by higher sales volume to third-party module-only customers in the second quarter of 2013.
As a previously highlighted possibility, the Company did not complete the sale of the ABW projects in the second quarter of 2013 and such sale is expected to occur in the second half of this year.
The Company reported second quarter net income per fully diluted share of $0.37, compared to $0.66 in the first quarter of 2013 and $1.27 in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2013 was impacted by pre-tax restructuring charges of $2.4 million (reducing EPS by $0.02), compared to $2.3 million (reducing EPS by $0.03) in the first quarter. In both cases the pre-tax charges related to previously announced restructuring actions. The sequential decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower revenue recognition for AVSR and lower sales volumes to third-party module-only customers in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The year over year decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower systems business revenue recognition, partially offset by higher manufacturing utilization and higher module sales to third-party customers in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012.

It's come to this: the flowers in Regent's Park in London may soon be replaced by vegetables.
The park may be divided up into parcels so that city residents can grow their own vegetables. In the Guardian newspaper, Sam Jones quotes parks' executive Colin Buttery as saying, "We very much want to support the idea of people growing their food by doing small-scale demonstrations." His idea was actually inspired by the communal vegetable gardens that have been created in many US cities.
Jones quotes sustainable foods expert Ben Reynolds, of Sustain as saying, if food shortages and prices continued increasing, and climate change gets worse, "We'll get people saying 'Well, bugger this, if I can't get the food I want, I'll grow it myself.'"

Musings of an Executive Class Traveller (one of my rare Executive Class travels)
The Flight
AC546 YYC to LAS March 26, 2011
Check-in Arrived at airport 1Hr. 45Min. prior to flight. Waited 35 minutes in line (in Executive) while agents sort out stuff with other traveller. Compared to Economy wait times, just marginally better. Grade – FAIL (note: many unhappy Executive Class Travellers)(Also did WEB Check-In from home to help speed up check-in time)
Departure Time – 90 minutes late due to weather and plane de-icing. Grade – Unavoidable
In Flight Service – Very Good. Meal of pancakes was dry on one end. Seating good. Grade – 6/10
Arrival in LAS – Had to stay seated while they removed passengers from the rear of the plane so as they could possibly make their connecting flights.
Baggage Claim – Retreval of baggage went very well. 9/10
The Flight
AC547 LAS to YYC April 2, 2011
Check-in Arrive at airport 1Hr. 55 Min. prior to flight. Very smooth. Check in takes 2 minutes. Grade 10/10
Departure Time – 100 minutes late due to weather in previous destinations. Grade – Unavoidable
In Flight Service – Very Good. Meal of beef and potatoes was good. Seating good. Grade – 7/10
Arrival in YYC - Had to stay seated while they removed passengers from the rear of the plane so as they could possibly make their connecting flights.
Baggage Claim – Cleared Customs and waited for baggage. Saw people who were cleared from plane still waiting for their luggage. Waited in baggage area 35 minutes before luggage showed up. Flight landed at 11:08 and luggage retrieved at 11:55. Grade – FAIL
Had to pay an additional fee at the airport parking lot because they allow you ½ hour for passenger pick-up, and we spent 35 minutes after clearing Canada Customs to retrieve baggage.
Comparisons drawn between flying Executive Class and Economy show little difference other than a roomy seat with a warm meal. Comparisons drawn between airfare prices show a much greater discrepancy. Throw in a couple of drinks and I hardly think that makes up the difference between Executive Class and Coach seat value.

Baby Savings
In one of my posts I asked if anyone had any money saving tips regarding babies, and a reader by the name of "BB" responded. The advice given was to get as much used stuff as possible and BB was right on the dot. Our family and friends stepped up and bought us supplies, but also help us find used stuff. My wife and I soon learned that babies out grow their clothes and other essentials very quickly, and parents need to get rid of the old to make way for the new. While we were shopping for baby stuff we met two couples that had kids around six months old, and they gave us some excellent advice on what to buy. As the conversation continued the couples mentioned that they have some old stuff that they cannot use, and want to know if we were interested. It returned out that this was exactly what we needed and proven to be very useful. Here is a list of some of the things we received:
-Car seat/stroller combo
-Bath tub
-Ton of clothes
We saved about $300-$500 dollars with all the free stuff. Best thing of all was that we got new friends and lots of great advice.
I would also highly recommend checking out your local thrift stores such as Salvation Army or Goodwill. There are a lot of parents that will donation old baby items out of the goodness of their hearts.

I Am Back
Hello Everyone,
I apologize for taking an unexpected break. I got caught up in preparing for the baby, taking care of my wife, and trying to balance work. We have a new health, happy baby boy, and we very proud parents. I am getting back a "normal" routine, but all you parents out there know what a challenge that can be. During my absence I saw that there were people visiting and supporting my site, and I wanted to say thank you. Well, it is back to the business of saving money.

A New Arrival
Sorry I have not posted anything in a while. I have been very busy lately, more than usual. The reason being is because my wife and I are expecting baby. We have been shopping for baby stuff and getting the house ready. I am very excited about our new addition to the family. Baby stuff is very expensive, and it seems more so that we are basically getting everything in a short amount of time. We still took our time looking for the best deals and using coupons. This helped us save a lot of money. If anyone has any money saving tips related to babies I would appreciate any ideas.

Are you paying too much for convenience?
There are times when I am reminded of a saying, "Pay for the convenience and suffer through the inconvenience." How much many of us are paying for products and services just because they make life a little easier? I agree that having someone else do the work frees up a lot of time to do other things, but the question is how much money can be saved versus doing it yourself? There are times when it is worth the extra cost to pay for the convenience. If you are in a situation where you need to cut costs maybe this is an area that you could look into. Here is a list items that you can do yourself or do differently to save money:
Transportation – Try using public transportation or a bike.
Dining out – Limit the number of times eating out.
Car washes – Wash your car at home.
Clothes dryer – Dry your clothes outside. Save on electricity and/or gas.
PC service – There are many resources on the internet that you can find about PC repair for free. Best buy charges $129 in store and $249 in home to install Microsoft Windows. Chances are there is someone that you know that can do it for free or much cheaper.
Magazines and newspaper subscriptions – Most of what you find in magazines and newspapers can be found online. Look into cancelling your subscriptions.
Veggies – Grow your own garden.
Recycling – There are some areas that require you to separate your trash. Why not recycle yourself and get some money back.
Photos – If your PC and printer can process photos then do it yourself. There are lots of free photo editing software you can download.

In Development: Hale Kamali'i (Residential Care Facility for Boys and Girls)
Hale Kamali'i is
a proposed permanent youth facility designed to deal with the growing number of
challenged at-risk children in Hawai'i. The facility will house 30-40
children and young adults, providing them with schooling, vocational training,
and constructive recreation, in a family-oriented caring atmosphere, that will
give these children the skills they need to become successful thriving
young men and women.
This is a collaborative community initiative, which seeks to empower the youth of the Hawaiian Islands through experience-based education, cultural studies, employment, and mentorship. Our aim is to awaken youth to their creativity and the world surrounding them, while helping them discover their passions and recognize their responsibility towards themselves, the land, and their community. As they progress, they will begin to assemble a set of core values and develop a sense of accomplishment that will help guide them in the future. As youth graduate and return as staff, they will help to shape the program and continue the collaborative process. Our goal is to place 3 centers island-wide by 2018. Fundraising efforts have been a great success, yet we are also in need of ongoing scholarships/sponsorships donations for our children's enrollment. Your support is greatly appreciated.

How to make cheap wine taste like a fine vintage… Maybe a DIY project, I see no problems with electrified wine from China, really…
They pumped the wine through a pipe that ran between two titanium electrodes, fed with a mains-frequency alternating supply boosted to a higher voltage. For the test wine, the team selected a 3-month-old cabernet sauvignon from the Suntime Winery, China's largest producer. Batches of wine spent 1, 3 or 8 minutes in various electric fields (see diagram). The team then analysed the treated wine for chemical changes that might alter its "mouth feel" and quality, and passed it to a panel of 12 experienced wine tasters who assessed it in a blind tasting (Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, vol 9, p 463).
The results were striking. With the gentlest treatment, the harsh, astringent wine grew softer. Longer exposure saw some of the hallmarks of ageing emerge- a more mature "nose", better balance and greater complexity. The improvements reached their peak after 3minutes at 600 volts per centimetre: this left the wine well balanced and harmonious, with a nose of an aged wine and, importantly, still recognisably a cabernet sauvignon.

the red-headed woodpecker. See Woodpecker
a kind of milkweed (Asclepias Curassavica) with red flowers. It is used in medicine
The Redhead is a medium-sized diving duck, 37 cm long with an 84 cm wingspan. The adult male has a blue bill, a red head and neck, a black breast, and yellow eyes. The adult female has a brown head and body and a darker bluish bill with a black tip. The breeding habitat is marshes and prairie potholes in western North America. Loss of nesting habitat has led to sharply declining populations. Females regularly lay eggs in the nests of other Redheads or other ducks, especially Canvasbacks. Redheads usually take new mates each year, starting to pair in late winter. Following the breeding season, males go through a molt which leaves them flightless for almost a month. Before this happens, they leave their mates and move to large bodies of water, usually flying further north. They overwinter in the southern and north-eastern United States, the Great Lakes region, northern Mexico and the Caribbean. This strong migrant is a very rare vagrant to western Europe.

After a short break Darren returned to the fairways of Spain and played in the Volvo World Match Play Championship.
Darren lost out to Robert Rock on the last hole on Friday morning and was beaten 6 and 4 by Justin Rose in the afternoon so does not proceed to the knock out stages.
The field of 24 players will be drawn into eight groups of three.
Group matches will be played on Thursday and Friday. The top two players in each group will progress to the knock-out stages consisting of the last 16 and quarter-finals, played on Saturday and semi-finals and final, played on Sunday.
All matches will be contested over 18 holes of traditional match play.
In the round-robin group stages of the tournament players will be grouped according to their Official World Golf Ranking as of the Monday of the Championship. The three players in each group will play each other once. Players will be awarded two points for a win and no points for a loss. If a match is tied after 18 holes each player shall receive one point. If, after all matches have been played, two or more players are tied on points the following criteria will be used to determine the order:
i) Where two players are tied within a group (in any position within the group) then their specific head to head match result will be used to identify which player is placed higher
ii) If two or more players are still tied then those players will compete in a hole-by-hole play-off.
iii) If all three players win one match in their respective group then all three players shall play-off.
NB: there will be no third/fourth play-off match on Sunday.

WASHINGTON, January 31, 2002 - This week President Bush announced the funding levels for domestic and global HIV/AIDS included in his budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2003. Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following response.
The complete statement follows:
We applaud President George Bush's proposed increase for the National Institutes of Health funding in his Fiscal Year 2003 budget. We share in his commitment to supporting domestic health programs and urge both houses of Congress to ensure the NIH funding increase is included in the final Health and Human Services appropriations bill.
While President Bush's call for greater NIH funding is commendable, his $200 million request for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria is alarmingly low. Effective prevention and care programs require funding, yet the countries hit hardest by AIDS are among the poorest in the world. With staggering infection rates across the globe, AIDS is a disease that threatens to collapse entire nations if not immediately addressed. Health experts estimate that the cost to stop AIDS is approximately $10 billion per year. In this context, strong U.S. leadership is indisputable and the proposed U.S. contribution of $200 million is simply inadequate to address this urgent crisis.
We cannot fall into the trap of pitting the needs of domestic HIV/AIDS programs against the needs of global efforts to eradicate this devastating disease. In the face of this human catastrophe, we reaffirm the commandments of bikur cholim (visiting the sick), pikuach nefesh (saving of lives), gemilut chasidim (deeds of loving-kindness), and tzedakah (economic justice) - these have been our values and commitments since Sinai and continue to guide us today. Where pain and suffering exist, we must provide comfort and solace. Where neglect and inequity prevail, we must bring compassion and justice. The NIH funding increase is a step in the right direction, but President Bush and Members of Congress must demonstrate the United States' commitment to fighting the AIDS pandemic on all fronts through an immediate and more significant contribution to the Global Fund.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) , whose 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews , and the Central Conference of American Rabbis(CCAR) whose membership includes over 1700 Reform rabbis .

Farmer's markets promoted
Passbook idea will encourage visits
Think of this seasonal treat: Farm fresh tomatoes, with a pinch of salt and a sprig of basil, drizzled with olive oil. Every ingredient can be bought at local farmer's markets, a point the Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce hopes to drive home with a new effort this summer.
A Leadership class within the chamber this spring will launch a campaign to promote Litchfield County markets. The chamber's leadership classes each year pick a community service project, and members felt not enough people know and take advantage of local produce, said June Russell, a member of the class.

Mayor targets joblessness, early voting might stay downtown, Kasich could veto fracking tax
Mayor John Cranley plans to address long-term unemployment in Cincinnati with several new initiatives, some of which could get support from the White House, he told CityBeat yesterday. According to Cranley, the idea is to end employer discrimination against the long-term unemployed or land the long-term unemployed into jobs to end the job-crippling gap in their resumes. Cranley's push against long-term unemployment comes in preparation of his visit today to the White House, which is looking for different ways to tackle the sluggish economy without going through a gridlocked Congress. Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted said it would be "logical" to keep an early voting location downtown even if the Hamilton County Board of Elections moves its offices to Mount Airy. Husted's comments imply local Republicans are alone in their effort to move early voting to a new Mount Airy location, where only one bus line runs. Democrats oppose the move because it would limit voting access for people who rely on public transportation. But local Republicans claim free parking at the facility would outweigh the lack of bus access. As the secretary of state, Husted could break the board's tie vote over the issue and make the final decision on where its offices and early voting end up.Gov. John Kasich threatened to veto a "puny" oil and gas tax, casting doubts on the current proposal in the Ohio legislature. The debate has put Kasich and his fellow Republicans in the General Assembly at odds as the state undergoes a bit of an oil and gas boom because of fracking, a drilling technique that pumps millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Kasich has been pushing to reform and increase the severance tax for the state's oil and gas producers. But Republican legislators have largely resisted Kasich's call to action, instead pushing a proposal that increases the severance tax by much less than what the governor proposed two years ago. In both Kasich and legislators' proposals, the raised revenue would be used for an income tax cut. A Hamilton County judge should decide today whether a local abortion clinic can remain open while it fights a state-ordered shutdown.This year's Neighborhood Enhancement Program will target Walnut Hills and East Price Hill. The program aims to address a number of issues, including the number of calls to police, building code violations, vacant buildings, drug arrests, graffiti, junk cars, litter and weeds.Cincinnati officials won an award for how the local budget is presented and communicated, even though it's still not structurally balanced.The Ohio Statehouse welcomes weddings and receptions except for gay couples, who can't get the Ohio marriage certificate required to hold a ceremony at the location.The Feb. 4 debate between Bill Nye the Science Guy and Creation Museum Founder Ken Ham over evolution and biblical creationism will stream live at The Cincinnati Enquirer. Evolution is taken as fact in the scientific world, but creationists deny its truth despite the clear, overwhelming evidence.A school bus driver might have saved two children by yelling at them to get out of the way during a crash.Scientists might have discovered a potential cure for peanut allergies.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopez

Cranley to Talk Long-Term Unemployment at White House
Mayor explains initiatives as he prepares for meeting with president
Mayor John Cranley plans to address the city's long-term unemployment problems with a set of new initiatives, some of which could get support from the White House, he told CityBeat Thursday.One of the initiatives is in direct response to President Barack Obama's call, heard by millions during the State of the Union Tuesday, to get private companies on board with ending discrimination against the long-term unemployed.Specifically, Cranley says he helped get Procter & Gamble and other local companies to agree to join the president's initiative."It wasn't that hard to sell them on it, but they've got a lot of things going on," Cranley says. "Getting their attention and focus on these things is one of the great powers that I have. I can help ask people to give back in ways they just haven't thought of before."With a visit to the White House planned for Friday, Cranley hopes his quick response to Obama's call could help the city land future federal grants for programs that address long-term unemployment.As an example, Cranley points to a new White House initiative that asks cities to develop innovative pilot programs that help the long-term unemployed. The initiative will award federal grants, which Cranley estimates at a couple million dollars per city, to the 10 best proposals.In preparation, the city is partnering with several local organizations, including the Workforce Investment Board and United Way of Greater Cincinnati, to develop a unique plan. How the city's proposal looks ultimately depends on the constraints set by the application requirements, but Cranley cited more educational opportunities and subsidies for companies that hire the long-term unemployed as two examples cities might undertake.The proposal, however it looks, would come in addition to Cranley's Hand Up Initiative, which he plans to fund through this year's city budget. As part of the initiative, the city will first partner with Cincinnati Cooks, Cincinnati Works and Solid Opportunities for Advancement and Retention (SOAR) to provide more job training opportunities. Participants who graduate from those programs can then apply to the Transitional Jobs Program, which provides short-term, part-time work opportunities to people as they look for long-term, full-time jobs.The initiative will begin as a pilot program for the first two years, but it could eventually expand with more partnerships and job training opportunities, according to Cranley.If successfully carried out, Cranley's proposals could help break the long-term unemployment trends that keep so many Americans jobless in the first place.In one study, Rand Ghayad of Northeastern University sent out 4,800 fake resumes for 600 job openings. Ghayad found people who had been out of work for six months or more very rarely got called back, even in comparison to applicants without work experience who were unemployed for shorter periods of time.In other words, diminishing the discrimination on the employer's side or ongoing joblessness on the potential employee's side could be enough to land more people in jobs.A proper solution to the issue could also go a long way to picking up the nation's sluggish job market. By the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' estimate, nearly 38 percent of the unemployed in December had been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer — the highest rate in six decades. In comparison, the rate was below 20 percent prior to the recession.For Cranley, the initiatives also present an opportunity to address Cincinnati's abhorrent poverty rates by giving people a chance to obtain better-paying jobs."In the end, we want a city that isn't just good for future residents," Cranley says, referencing the economic momentum in Over-the-Rhine, downtown and uptown that might benefit future Cincinnatians. "We need a city solution that grows the capacity and builds the opportunities for residents who are already here and families that are already dealing with poverty."

Officials push to keep early voting downtown, Portune flounders, Ohio joblessness rate falls
Mayor John Cranley yesterday offered free space to the Hamilton County Board of Elections at the city-owned Shillito's building to keep the board's offices and early voting downtown. The idea comes in the middle of a debate between Democrats and Republicans on the Board of Elections over whether they should move their offices — and early voting — to a Mount Airy facility, where only one bus line runs, to consolidate county services and avoid the cost of rent. Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann said there won't be enough occupancy at the Mount Airy location if the Board of Elections decides not to move there. For the county, a certain amount of occupancy must be filled at Mount Airy to financially justify the move and the renovations it would require. Without the move, the county will need to find another location or means to build a new county crime lab.Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune yesterday refused to announce whether he will actually run against gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, even though he told The Cincinnati Enquirer the day before that he already made a decision. At this point, Portune's lack of organization and name recognition means his chances of beating FitzGerald are slim to none.Ohio's December unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent from 7.4 percent the month before. The amount of employed and unemployed both increased compared to the previous year. The state of the economy could decide this year's statewide elections, even if state officials aren't to credit or blame for economic conditions, as CityBeat covered here.It is perfectly legal to forgive back taxes in Hamilton County. Supporters argue the practice removes a tax burden that likely wasn't going to get paid anyway, but opponents worry it could be misused and take away revenue from schools and other public services that rely on property taxes.A Hamilton County court ruled against the legality of automated traffic cameras in Elmwood Place. Officials plan to appeal the ruling.More than 10,000 Ohioans lost food stamps this month after Gov. John Kasich declined to request a federal waiver for work requirements. Hamilton County officials estimate Kasich's decision could affect 18,000 food stamp recipients across the county.A new Ohio House bill delays the transition from the Ohio Graduation Test to new end-of-course exams. The delay aims to provide more time to vet the tests and allow schools to better prepare for the changes.Local home sales improved by nearly 21 percent during 2013, according to the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors.The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport reported 3 percent more passengers and 9 percent more cargo traffic in 2013.Ohioans spent 5.8 percent more on liquor in 2013 compared to the year before, reaching a new record in yearly purchases of liquor across the state.The Cincinnati Entertainment Awards return this Sunday.Telling people they slept better than they did improves their performance on math and word association tests.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopez

Following promises of miracles, Ohio's weakening economy could hurt Gov. John Kasich's re-election bid

Gay marriage case becomes election issue, local jobs report mixed, mayoral primary nears
Democratic attorney general candidate David Pepper is criticizing Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine for contesting the case that's forcing the state to recognize the same-sex marriage of two Cincinnatians, one of who is currently sick with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a deadly neurodegenerative disease with no known cure, and expected to die soon. "Above all, an Attorney General takes an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. This case is a truly sad example of constitutional rights being violated, and the deep and personal harms that result from constitutionally unequal treatment," Pepper, a former Hamilton County commissioner and Cincinnati Council member, said in a statement. "I respectfully call upon Attorney General DeWine to recognize the clear constitutional wrongs taking place here. Allow this couple to spend their final weeks together in dignity." The Cincinnati metropolitan area received a mixed jobs report in June, gaining some jobs over the year but not enough to match population trends. Cincinnati's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate hit 7.4 percent in June, up from 6.8 percent in May and the same as the year before. Although the jobs report was fairly negative, the area has received some good news as of late: Housing sales were up in June despite higher interest rates, and CNBC host Joe Kernen, a Western Hills native, in July 22 segment declared, "Cincinnati has successfully reinvented itself as a hub for innovation" and technology. Early voting for Cincinnati's Sept. 10 mayoral primary begins Aug. 6. The candidates are Democrats Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley, Libertarian Jim Berns and Independent Queen Noble. The top two finishers will face each other again in the Nov. 5 election. Qualls and Cranley are perceived as the leading contenders in the race. University of Cincinnati's police chief is stepping down. Angela Thi Bennett, one of Gov. John Kasich's appointees to the Ohio Board of Education, is leaving the board to take a job at a charter school. The board is dominated by Kasich and Republican appointees. BRIDGES for a Just Community will shut down by early September. The nonprofit, which was founded as the Cincinnati chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, has promoted religious inclusion in the workplace, schools and broader communities since 1944. "Improving community attitudes toward diversity and inclusion, which are a direct result of BRIDGES' work, coupled with increasing competition in providing services caused the organization to experience persistent financial challenges in recent years," the organization said in a statement. Butler County Sheriff's deputies arrested and charged two men for possessing 155 pounds of marijuana, valued at more than $155,000, in their vehicle at a traffic stop Sunday. Butler County Richard Jones is calling the case evidence that the Mexico-U.S. border isn't secure. Talking Points Memo obtained the U.S. House Republicans' political playbook for the congressional recess. One highlight: "Remarkably, the packet includes virtually no discussion of immigration reform — a major issue pending before the House after comprehensive legislation passed the Senate." Here are 36 photos showing anti-gay Russians attacking LGBT activists. Researchers from Heptares Therapeutics, a drug company, have found the molecule responsible for stress, hopefully giving them the ability to create drugs that precisely fit into its structure.

Economy could hurt Kasich, Cranley sustains attacks on streetcar, busy intersection to close
Ohio's weakening economy could hurt Gov. John Kasich and other Republican incumbents' chances of re-election in 2014, even if they don't deserve the blame for the state of the economy, as some economists claim. For Republican incumbents, the threat is all too real as groups from all sides — left, right and nonpartisan — find the state's economy is failing to live up to the "Ohio miracle" Kasich previously promised. Economists agree state officials often take too much credit for the state of the economy, but political scientists point out that, regardless of who is to blame, the economy is one of the top deciding factors in state elections. For Kasich and other incumbents, it creates a difficult situation: Their influence on the economy might be marginal, but it's all they have to secure re-election.Despite promising to move on after he failed to permanently halt the $132.8 million streetcar project, Mayor John Cranley continues criticizing the streetcar in interviews and social media. In a Sunday appearance on Local 12, Cranley threatened to replace the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) board, which manages local Metro bus services, in response to its offer to take up streetcar operating costs. (City Council sets SORTA appointments, not the mayor.) The interview, held within weeks of Cranley mocking and arguing with pro-streetcar critics on social media, comes despite Cranley's promises to move on after City Council agreed to continue the project. "As I tell my son when he doesn't get his way, it's time to move on," Cranley said on Dec. 19. Streetcar track installation will force the busy intersection at Elm and Liberty streets to close between Jan. 16 at 9 a.m. to Jan. 21 at 7 p.m., city officials announced yesterday. One northbound lane will remain open on Elm Street, but traffic heading east and west on Liberty Street will be redirected.Commentary: "Bengals Loss Reminds of Terrible Stadium Deal."Police are investigating three homicides in Avondale and Over-the-Rhine this morning.Construction crews plan to turn the defunct Tower Place mall into Mabley Place, a new parking garage with several retail spaces on the exterior of the first floor. Across Race Street, other developers will turn Pogue's Garage into a 30-story tower with a downtown grocery store, luxury apartments and another garage.Hamilton County is dedicating a full-time deputy to crack down on semis and other vehicles breaking commercial laws.Ohio House Republicans' proposal to revamp the state's tax on the oil and gas industry would not produce enough revenue to cut income taxes for most Ohioans, despite previous promises. According to The Columbus Dispatch, the proposal would only allow for a very small 1-percent across-the-board income tax cut.Ohio's education system received five C's and an A on a private national report card.
