Bangkok airport embarks on image makeover
BANGKOK Baggage handlers at Thailand's main airport now wear uniforms with pockets sewn shut to prevent pilfering. Police are hauling away illegal taxi touts. And cushions are being added to metal seats at departure gates derided as a "pain in the rear."
An overhaul is under way at Bangkok's $3.8 billion Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is virtually brand new but trying to put a scandal-plagued past behind and become one of the world's top 10 airports – a goal senior officials concede might be a long shot for this year.
The campaign is partly aimed at addressing passenger complaints logged since Suvarnabhumi opened in 2006.
Free Wi-Fi will be in place by the end of the month and 126 Internet terminals have been installed for travelers without laptops, according to Airports of Thailand, the airport's operator. Other upgrades include more restrooms, improved signs and the upholstery of all 19,000 cold metallic seats with turquoise, peach, green and purple cushions that brighten Suvarnabhumi's concrete-and-steel design, panned by some critics as too monotone.
More than cosmetic, the cleanup has become a matter of national pride. It comes amid a rash of bad publicity that prompted the prime minister to tour the airport's trouble spots last month – from its luggage-sorting underbelly up through duty-free shops and out to the arrival hall.
"We must have high and strict standards," Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said during his Aug. 15 visit, prompted by highly publicized claims by European tourists that they were falsely accused of shoplifting at duty-free stores and then taken to seedy motels and extorted by a police interpreter.
On Abhisit's orders, tourists accused of stealing will now be handled "transparently so there are no complaints," said Ayuth Sucantharuna, a spokesman for Airports of Thailand, or AOT. They will be interrogated at the airport, rather than transferred to an outside police station, and interviews will be videotaped.
Scams against tourists are the subject of a new British documentary series called "Big Trouble in Tourist Thailand." The program, which aired its first of eight episodes last week on British television, "explores the ugly side of tourism in Thailand" – like getting ripped off by a gun-wielding jet-ski operator and landing in jail after partying at a drugged-out, all-night beach rave.
The show is sure to hit a sore spot in Thailand, where the tourism industry has barely recovered from last year's public relations disaster at Suvarnabhumi – the main gateway to the country – when anti-government protesters shut the airport for a week and stranded 300,000 travelers.
Abhisit set a realistic target while discussing Suvarnabhumi on his weekly TV broadcast recently: "I think the problems can be significantly reduced – but to get rid of them all together will be difficult."
Take the case of taxi touts with "broken meters," which Nirandra Theeranartsin, the airport's general manager, calls "a monumental problem" that started 40 years ago at Bangkok's previous international airport.
Part of the problem appears to be that senior AOT officials were sanctioning the touts in exchange for kickbacks, Nirandra said, adding "it's hard to prove" but several high-ranking officials are nonetheless being transferred.

I'm not sure about vegan, but I would assume you could just substitute the liquid with champaign. I've never done a vegan cupcake, but I assume you can't use butter (correct me if I am wrong). What product can you use?
I've made a moscato cupcake with moscato buttercream before and it was good. For the BC, I just made my normal BC, but instead of putting heavy cream in it, I added in a couple tablespoons of moscato, just till it hit the right consistancy. The frosting had a nice moscato flavor, but wasn't overwhelming. Everyone loved it.

Farmers say law cited in dog-shooting case should stay
Rob Johnson, policy director for the New Hampshire Farm Bureau, said the law is one way for farmers to protect their animals, but he insisted that shooting a threatening dog should always be the last resort.
"It's something you don't want to do," said Johnson, who raises cattle and poultry on his farm in Pittsfield.
The legal debate over killing dogs began after a Hampstead man fatally shot his neighbor's dog on Jan. 5 when she came onto his property and began barking and startling his two rabbits in a cage.
Christopher Gibbons killed 6-year-old Sadie, a Brittany spaniel, with a single shot from his .223-caliber AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.
Police did not charge Gibbons after determining that he had the legal right to kill the dog under RSA 466:28, which states: "Any person may kill a dog that suddenly assaults the person while such person is peaceably walking or riding without the enclosure of its owner or keeper; and any person may kill a dog that is found out of the enclosure or immediate care of its owner or keeper worrying, wounding, or killing sheep, lambs, fowl, or other domestic animals."
Sadie's owners, Fred and Judy Galietta, said they feel the killing was unjustified and are now asking lawmakers to consider removing the term "worrying" from the law even though similar attempts have failed.
"There are legitimate reasons for the term 'worrying' and I think it's important language to have in the law," Johnson said.
Johnson said a "high-strung" dog barking and running around a poultry or sheep pen can pose a serious threat to the animals.
"They'll crowd around and smother themselves. It doesn't take long. The animal doesn't have to be physically touching them," Johnson said. "Someone in commercial production has a lot to lose pretty quickly."
On the day of the shooting, Gibbons, a retired Manchester police officer, told police that he awoke to barking commotion in the backyard around 7:50 a.m. and when he went to his upstairs bathroom window he could see the dog "clawing" at the side of the rabbits' cage. The rabbits were frantic and running around, he said. Gibbons said he yelled at the dog, but that it continued barking and circling the cage, causing the rabbits to become frantic.
Gibbons, fearing the rabbits could have heart attacks, grabbed his rifle. He told police he fired a shot into a backstop for target shooting set up in the backyard to scare the dog off. The dog continued to bark, and when it jumped at the enclosed hutch area, he said he fired a second shot, a police report said. The shot killed Sadie instantly.
According to the police report, officers saw dog tracks around the cage but there were no holes in the cage or damage to the screen.
Gibbons said he immediately called police after the shooting.
When Sadie's owner, Judy Galietta, went outside to call for Sadie, she heard the dog yipping and then heard two shots. She later found Sadie behind the pen. She said that when she started to pick Sadie's head up she realized that the dog was dead.
Gibbons' wife, Kimberly, told police that they've had problems with the dog coming into their yard in the past, but police found no dog complaints on file with the police department.
The Galiettas, who have complained about Gibbons target shooting in the past, said their dog never bothered the neighbors and this was the first time that it ever went near the rabbits.

Episode 259: The Islamic State - rise & world view, with Craig Whiteside
in Military
The Islamic State, ISIL/ISIS/Daesh - whatever people may call them - are not a flash in the pan. Not quite insurgency, not quiet terrorist organization, not quite nation state - what they are is a presence that has resilience, trans-national support, and has a long range plan.
What is their background, how have they evolved, and how do they view the world?
Our guest for the full hour to discuss this and more will be Craig Whiteside, LTC USA (Ret.), Associate Professor of Theater Security Decision Making for the Naval War College Monterey at the Naval Postgraduate School. Craig came to the War College from Washington State University, where he was a PhD student in Political Science and taught American Government and National Security Affairs. Prior to returning to school, Professor Whiteside was a career infantry officer in the U.S. Army with service in the airborne infantry. He is an Iraq war veteran and served with the Geronimos of the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry in Iskandariyah as the battalion executive officer during 2006-7. He finished his military service as the Professor of Military Science at Washington State. Professor Whiteside is currently working on his dissertation investigating the political worldview of the Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham (ISIS). He is a graduate of the United States Military Academy and the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.
Hybrid Jazz From Trish Hennessey - with Marilyn Scott!
in Music
The double digit dates haven't started yet - we're two days away from December 10th - so some of us are relaxing. The sweat comes when we realize that Christmas is breathing down our necks :) To help with the sweat: Jumpin' Jazz and Blue-Eyed Soul from a woman who has a right to sing ALL of it - blissfully versatile Marilyn Scott!
That voice is going to conjure some images for you, full of energy and passion - and FUN! Our much-respected artist has been thrilling us for years - over a dozen albums to her name. Marilyn has been an in-demand vocalist, garnering praise and a Grammy nomination - for Marilyn's take on "The Look of Love", produced by George Duke.
This Southern California native learned EARLY what she wanted in life. An epiphany occurred in her teens when she trekked to the Monterey Pop Festival - and feasted her ears on Janis Joplin, Lou Rawls and Otis Redding. Marilyn honed her own craft so well that was asked to work with a myriad of Jazz and Soul artists - Hiroshima, Bobby Womack, Etta James and Bobby Caldwell among them.
A new album is expected in 2015 - but let's focus on NOW. Marilyn Scott's "Get Christmas Started" is a party and a half! Treasured holiday songs are full of new life, and the vibes from Philly to Memphis to Motown are COVERED. We so need the kick that Marilyn gives us - the kind of holiday cheer that makes you want to get up and dance, or sing along - at the top of your lungs :)
We'll start the show at one - and we've got two hours to get Christmas started - are you IN? Join us in The Chat Room! One of the hottest singers with some kind of slammin' resume is gonna entertain you. You'll feel as though 12/25 has already arrived

Back in December 2008 several US and Canadian Bloggers provided four of their best stock picks for 2009. The rules of the stock-picking contest do not allow actively trading stocks. The performance of the individual bloggers' picks is reviewed every quarter.
You might recall that I selected four high yielding dividend stocks from different sectors which I believed have sustainable dividend payments for 2009. Check out my original post for the rationale behind my picks.
Realty Income (O) closed 2008 at $23.15. At the current price of $18.82 plus the $0.42525 in distributions collected during the first quarter the investment in the owner of commercial retail real estate properties in the US is underwater by 16.90%. This dividend achiever, which has consistently increased its distributions multiple times/year since 1994, currently spots a very attractive 9.50% yield. Check out my analysis of Realty Income.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) finished 2008 at $45.75. At the current price of $46.72 plus the $1.05 in distributions collected during the first quarter the investment in the owner of energy transportation and storage assets in the US is up by 4.40%. This dividend achiever, which has consistently increased its distributions several times/year since 1997, currently spots a very appealing 9.00% yield. Check out my analysis of Kinder Morgan.
Consolidated Edison (ED) ended 2008 at $38.93. At the current price of $39.61 plus the $0.59 in dividends collected during the first quarter the investment in this provider electric, gas, and steam utility services has gained 3.30%. This dividend aristocrat, which has consistently increased its distributions several times/year since 1975, currently spots an attractive 6.10% yield. Check out my analysis of Consolidated Edison.
Phillip Morris International (PM) finished the year at $43.51. At the current price of $35.58 plus the $0.54 in dividends collected during the first quarter the investment in manufacturer of cigarettes and other tobacco products in markets outside of the United States of America is underwater by 17%. This dividend stock currently spots an attractive 5.60% yield.
Overall the four dividend stocks that I picked lost 8.30% so far in the first quarter of 2009; if you add in the dividends received over the first quarter of the year the total return improves to a negative 6.50%. In comparison S&P 500 lost 11.25% in the first quarter of 2009.
Check out the performance of the other bloggers year to date returns in the table below:
1 Intelligent Speculator 4.33%
2 The Financial Blogger -0.94%
3 FourPillars -2.67%
4 Million Dollar Journey -2.96%
5 Dividend Growth Investor -8.27%
6 WildInvestor -8.90%
7 Wheredoesallmymoneygo -21.77%
8 ZachStocks -24.19%
9 My Traders Journal -27.54%
I would like to reiterate the fact that in order to generate dividend income for the long run, a more diversified portfolio consisting of at least 30 stocks should be constructed. Check out the Best Dividend Stock for the Long Run list, which is a good addition to today's post.

You have over paid for many of your dividend growth stocks. P/E'sd of over 15 times have been to high to pay in the past.ReplyDelete
You said you would buy more pep at $68 or ko at $51. Both of these are down substantially.
The price you pay matters...your entry price.
I dollar cost average my way into my positions. I bought PEP at 68 all the way down to $45 for example. I will not be the one to buy at the bottom, because noone can do that. Entry price matters..But what ultimately cuonts is the price when you exit decades from now.. If PEP trades at $400/share split adjusted 20 years from now it won't matter as much whether I bought it at 68 or 50. Academicians would say that with hindsight my buying at 68 was wrong and I should have waited.. But then I am in this to generate dividend income, not write academic papers about it..

This is because the reference is position:absolute (which shrink-wraps) but the test is position:relative (which does not). I think putting both test and reference in something position:absolute and giving that element fixed dimensions in both cases would be ideal. Speaking of which, why were these imported from reftests rather than contributed in reftest format? -David -- L.

Also USA Xbox One sold 100 000 consoles while PS4 sold 50 000 consoles.
Xbox One has been the UK's "best-selling games console for four weeks in a row", according to an MCV report.
The console is reported to have benefited from PlayStation 4's hardware shortages and Microsoft's official £30 price cut, which came into effect three weeks ago. The launch of Titanfall has helped as well, with Xbox One sales rising 96 per cent during the game's launch week.
However, Microsoft's recent sales success, PlayStation 4 allegedly remains the overall best-selling console of the two, with new supply boosting last week's hardware sales by 72 per cent.

MIAMI — It was less than five months ago.
We were Celtic-centric. We were still stinging from another Super Bowl stunner, surprised that the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins were eliminated from the playoffs, and somewhat concerned with the increasingly goofy behavior of Bobby Valentine.
But we had the Celtics. They were everybody's favorite team in New England, enjoying a feel-good run through the NBA playoffs. They had defied the critics in taking a 3-2 series lead against the supposedly indomitable Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. It looked like the Celtics would close out the choking pretenders at the Garden in Game 6, but LeBron James went into Wilt Chamberlain overdrive and knotted the series.
And so we all took our talents to South Beach for Game 7. Anticipating a lengthy road trip that would take them to Oklahoma City for a couple of games after winning in Miami, the Celtics packed string ties and Buddy Lee shirts. We reminded ourselves that the Celtics were 21-7 in Game 7s. The Heat would undoubtedly choke in the big one. Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair. We were all going to Thunder Road.
It looked good for a while. It was tied after three quarters and there were seven lead changes early in the fourth. But Boston's old bones got cold and creaky down the stretch. Miami closed with an 18-6 run. It was awful. We were watching the final moments of the Duct Tape Five. Trailing by 11 with 28.3 seconds left, Doc Rivers cleared his bench.

What Could Stomach Pains After Eating?
I think my father-in-law might have an ulcer. He is a perfectionist and only eats once a day, at dinnertime. Lately, he only eats about two bites and then gives up. He says it's because food hurts his stomach. He is also an alcoholic. I don't know how to approach him, but I've heard that ulcers and drinking can kill you. I am really concerned for him, and he won't go to the doctor. Do you have any answers for me?Question:
Gastroenterologists often see patients who complain of stomach pains after they eat. While no significant problem is detected in many of these people, such complaints deserve investigation. It is especially important to investigate this symptom in older people because the incidence of stomach cancer rises with age.
The most likely cause of pain after eating is an ulcer. The ulcer may be in the stomach or upper intestine, or duodenum. The reason for the pain may be stomach acid or food that irritates the ulcer. Alternatively, if the ulcer blocks the exit from the stomach to the duodenum (the pyloric channel), this may lead to a feeling of fullness after eating. This type of obstruction is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting after eating.
Another possibility in patients who have abdominal pain after eating -- and are afraid to eat as a result -- is blockage of the blood vessels that lead to the intestinal tract. This condition, known as chronic mesenteric insufficiency, is similar to coronary artery disease. During meals, as the demand for blood in the intestinal tract rises, the vessels are not able to supply this increased demand, and angina-like pain results. This condition is most likely to occur patients who also have blockages in other vessels, such as those in the heart, leg or neck; patients who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol; and patients who smoke.
Finally, the most worrisome diagnosis in someone who complains of stomach pain after eating is stomach (gastric) cancer. Although the incidence of stomach cancer has fallen dramatically in the United States since the early 1900s, it is still seen. In fact, the incidence of one type of gastric cancer -- a kind that involves the part of the stomach that is close to the esophagus (the cardia) -- is actually increasing.
In summary, your father-in-law has a significant digestive complaint that should be investigated further by a gastroenterologist. He will likely need an endoscopy to examine his stomach and duodenum further.

Browse our list of the 15 hottest celebrity valentines & vote for your favorite!
Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and because no one should fly solo on the international love holiday, HollywoodLife.com put together a list of our top 15 potential celebrity valentines — from Justin Bieber and Harry Styles to Robert Pattinson and Ian Somerhalder — and we want to know which one you'd pick to be yours! You know, hypothetically.
Big-Screen Boys
Some guys just beg to be seen on enormous screens, like Zac Efron and Taylor Lautner for example. Whether they're singing about basketball, or turning into werewolves, we don't mind paying for insanely overpriced movie tickets to see them in action; they're always worth the price of admission.
Small-Screen Studs
Now let's talk about the hotties we invite into our living rooms every week, all the while annoyed we have yet to invest in a 3-D TV. From Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey to Pretty Little Liars' Keegan Allen, we're grateful to the wardrobe departments that seem to unanimously agree: sometimes, less is more.
We even included Sean Lowe who, despite starring on a reality show, looks too good to be true. There's a reason he's almost never dressed on The Bachelor.
Music Men
Looks are one thing, but as long as we're being irrational here, wouldn't it also be nice to have a celebrity valentine who could serenade you? Enter the musical portion of our list, which ranges from nice guys like Joe Jonas and Drake to bad boys like Harry Styles and Kanye West.
(And yes, stealing Taylor Swift's award from her on national television does permanently brand one as a "bad boy.")
Now that you've seen your options, vote below: Which guy would you choose to be your celebrity valentine?

Friend's child is rude
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 05-26-2013 - 11:41pm
I have a close friend whose daughter is 3 1/2. We spent a good bit of time together, and lately I have found myself not wanting to do things with my friend when her daughter comes along. There are a couple of issues.
1. The daughter is very often rude to me and my friend doesn't do anything about it. As an example, today the daughter said her tummy hurt. I said "Oh, no, your tummy hurts??" And she yelled at me, "No!! I'm telling Mommy, not you!" My friend said nothing. She seems to think this is just how 3 year olds behave.
2. The daughter interrupts almost constantly when we're talking. Not only does my friend not tell her to wait her turn to speak, she totally forgets that we were even having a conversation and gets involved in whatever the daughter is doing.
3. My friend allows the daughter to dictate what we do, allows her behavior to change the plan at the last minute. As in, we agree on Plan A, daughter objects ten minutes before we go, so we change to Plan B, then she changes her mind and it's back to Plan A at the last minute.
I realize that the little girl is 3 and none of this is her fault. I also realize I could at least be asserting myself when it comes to plans changing and will do so in the future. I just feel my friend should be shutting a lot of this behavior down. I haven't been able to think of a way to bring it up with her without it sounding like I'm telling her how to raise her child. However, it is having a negative impact on our friendship because a) we can't have conversations and b) I just plain don't want to hang out with them a lot of the time. That's important too.
Anyone else have this problem, and how do you handle it?

Thank you. Yeah, it's a hard one. Saying something probably isn't a good option. I guess you all are right, all I can do is try to be clearer about my own time being valuable and hope she gets the message that I am frustrated. Who knows. I've come to terms with the fact that our lives are just different now that she has a child (this is her first), and that's not going to change until/unless I have one of my own.

Keith Urban with Jerrod Niemann and special guest Brett EldredgeSunday, August 24th, 2014Seating Chart« view all past events
New Zealand-born and Australia-raised, Keith Urban moved to Nashville in 1992. His first American album came as a member of The Ranch (1997), followed by an increasingly accomplished series of chart-topping solo albums: Keith Urban (1999), Golden Road (2002), Be Here (2004), Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing (2006), and Defying Gravity (2009). He's sold more then 15 millions. His lengthy list of Number Ones—which now numbers fourteen—includes "But For The Grace Of God," "Somebody Like You" (which was named the top Country song of the decade), "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me," "You'll Think Of Me," "Days Go By," "Better Life," "You Look Good In My Shirt," and "Sweet Thing."
Urban has been honored with Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, Academy of County Music Awards, a People's Choice Award, American Music Award, and Australia's coveted Aria Award. He was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2012, and for the last several years, he has spearheaded the "All for the Hall" benefit concerts, which have raised nearly $2 million for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

If you want to see some truly historic sports memorabilia, you've got to make the trip to a hall of fame or museum. After all, Babe Ruth's uniform isn't just hanging in any old closet. However, if you wanted to start your own museum, you could do that, too. Granted, you probably wouldn't have the same quality of exhibits, but eBay sellers do a thriving trade with people who want to own a piece of sports history, just not a particularly important piece.

There is a good discussion about the Arkansas signage...I'd like to expand on it for Texas CHL holders. My instructor said we could ignore the improper signs. I understand about trespassing. Here is my thought about the 30.06...the language of the sign seems to only prohibit licensed carriers. Maybe that's because the unlicensed BG's will ignore any sign?
I look at the "no guns" signs like this...if its a "gunbusters" sign, its intended for the people that carry illegally. They are probably going to ignore it. If the businessowner post the proper sign that prohibits licensed carriers, the BG's are going to ignore it too, and the good guys are probably going to honor it, so the only guys in the store with guns will be the BG's. Right now, I tend to think the "gunbusters" sign was put there by a business owner that understands the law and does not want to put up a sign that prohibits licensed carriers. I'm naive I guess.

Far Eastern University Takes Higher Education To The Cloud With NetSuite
MAKATI CITY, Philippines and SAN MATEO, Calif., June 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced that Far Eastern University (FEU), with 29,000 students on campuses in Manila and Makati City, Philippines, has joined the NetSuite SuiteAcademy program, an educational program designed to bring cloud-based business management solutions to university classrooms worldwide. The FEU Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance (IABF) incorporated NetSuite cloud ERP, including accounting and auditing functionality, into the undergraduate degree curricula in the summer 2013 for third- and fourth-year students pursuing business degrees. The program gives the FEU IABF new flexibility for anywhere/anytime learning over the web that liberates students and faculty from the need to access on-premise software in classrooms and labs, and broadens education beyond campus boundaries to the home, while traveling, from a coffee shop and more.
"We see the cloud as the future of software. Introducing cloud-based business instruction through NetSuite SuiteAcademy can enable us to give students highly sought-after skills that today's employers covet as more companies migrate to NetSuite cloud business management," said Celito C. Macachor, Dean, FEU IABF. "Being in the cloud, NetSuite makes anytime/anywhere learning and education possible for both our students and faculty."
Driven by the growing global demand for teaching NetSuite cloud solutions in tertiary education programs, the SuiteAcademy program puts NetSuite software and academic-developed curriculum in the hands of students, giving the next generation of business leaders a competitive advantage by having worked with one of the world's fastest growing financial management solutions and the recent winner of Frost & Sullivan's Asia Pacific's Cloud ERP Vendor of the Year for 2012 award for cloud leadership excellence, exemplary performance and growth.
Building NetSuite into FEU IABF curricula is part of the transformation to provide future business leaders with real world cloud software experience, providing students and teaching staff with practical IT skills that are aligned to the global shift towards cloud computing. The curriculum is also expected to offer experience across core disciplines built into NetSuite's single business management suite, including ERP, accounting, supply chain management and Ecommerce.

Address: 2902 E. Shea Blvd., Phoenix; Records: Horizon 6-1, 1-1 Desert Valley; Shadow Mountain 1-6, 1-1; Gametime: 7:00 p.m.
Starting 6-0 has its advantages.
Despite a 34-14 loss to Brophy last week, Horizon still has a playoff spot within its grasp.
"We didn't play the way we wanted to," Horizon coach Steve Casey said. "But it didn't ruin our season."
Horizon quarterback Dax Crum may need to hear those words entering this week's tilt with Shadow Mountain. Crum completed only 8-of-25 passes for 95 yards against the Broncos, but Casey said the senior signal caller is as resilient as they come.
"I think he's fine. Like most times, quarterbacks get too much credit when we win, and get too much criticism when we lose," Casey said.
Shadow Mountain coach Josh SeKoch may have a little more to play for this week, as he was an assistant at Horizon before Casey took the head coaching job two years ago.

Kind help sought: FC11 booting to blank screen after upgrade from fc10

Kind help sought: FC11 booting to blank screen after upgrade from fc10
I was working with FC10. Whenever I reboot, automatic updates are performed. Recently an option to upgrade FC10 to FC11 appeared automatically (similar to the second screen shot given at
). Because this appeared automatically I didnt get a chance to perform the command line statements that were given at the same site (especially, yum clean all, I dont know if that is the problem). Except for these commands everything followed similar to the way explained in the web page
During reboot the upgrade was performed. However, I am not able to successfully get into the FC11 desktop. When booted with FC11 (I also have windows xp), the system enters to a blank screen. Did some search in the internet, however I was not able to get to the thread that addresses this problem. Some of the suggestions given were to append 3 or 1 in the kernal parameter, however this was not helping, again the system enters to a blank screen and whatever I write using the keyboard appears on the screen. I am sure that this blank screen is not a shell.
I request the users to kindly give their suggestions and help me overcome this problem.

Want to buy this product?
Currently you can buy Paula's Choice products directly from this site and a few top-rated products from other brands are available via links to affiliate websites. We review and recommend products from other brands because we are dedicated to helping you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or other lines.
Paula's Choice products are formulated using the same exacting standards we use to review products from other brands.
You have chosen to add to your My Faves.
Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
This moisturizer's formula is as ordinary and do-nothing as it gets in the world of skin care. Yes, it's fragrance-free but it's also free of a range of ingredients all skin types need to become healthier and look younger—and that includes sensitive skin. Where are the soothing agents and mix of barrier repair ingredients to help strengthen sensitive skin? You get a couple of those, but the rest is just standard thickeners and film-forming agent with teeny-tiny amounts of amino acids. Big deal!
Note: The U.S. name for this product is Replenishing Rich Moisturizer.
Our Replenishing Rich Moisturizer leaves your skin replenished and nourished all day long, plus it's a perfect blend of our purest possible skin loving ingredients with an added vitamin.
Water (Aqua), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl 3 Methylglucose Distearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Polyacrylamide, Stearic Acid, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Caprylyl Glycol, Laureth 7, Allantoin, Pentylene Glycol, Bisabolol, Disodium EDTA, Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Serine, Sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Urea, Sorbitol, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Methylisothiazolinone, Phenoxyethanol
Simple is a United Kingdom–based skin-care line whose self-described claim to fame is that they're the "pre-eminent brand of skincare and toiletries products developed especially for sensitive skin." They also claim to be the United Kingdom's No. 1 skin care-brand, as measured by units sold, and given the line's wide distribution and low price point, the sales figures are probably accurate. But, although their sales claim may be accurate, Simple's claims about their products being good for sensitive skin are spurious at best because too many of the ingredients are completely inappropriate for sensitive skin.
Simple skin care states the following: "Our philosophy is: Simple says - never use perfumes, dyes or harsh irritants that can upset your skin. Simple says - settle for only the purest possible ingredients. Simple says - trust the natural goodness in all of our products especially for sensitive skin." Although that's a good philosophy, most Simple products don't live up to their lofty goals. There are fragrant ingredients in many of their products, they use potentially irritating preservatives in some of their products, their sun protection products use synthetic sunscreen ingredients which aren't the best for sensitive skin, and many of their ingredients are not natural (we know their claim of natural goodness doesn't say outright that they only use natural ingredients but many consumers will think that's what's being implied)
Unfortunately, there are no standards in Europe or anywhere else that regulate which cosmetic products can be deemed suitable for sensitive skin and which cannot. Therefore, any company can make that claim for its products, regardless of what the products contain. It's not all bad news though, as several of Simple's products are fragrance-free, which is a key starting point for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
As mentioned above, the price point for Simple is low; in fact, it is one of the least expensive cosmetic brands you'll find in the United Kingdom (and a small assortment of their products are sold in the U.S., too). We are all for consumers getting more for their money, but in most cases with Simple you're being shortchanged, and that's not the way to save money. Most of their products are either very basic or the frills and good ingredients are but a dusting in an otherwise ordinary formula. There are few outstanding products in this line, which is similar throughout the industry.
The anti-aging products are a great example of Simple's combination of low prices and lofty claims, with nary an ingredient on the list capable of delivering any benefit over and above a Band-Aid®. Even the most state-of-the-art moisturizers and anti-aging products won't bring about a significant reduction in wrinkles or other signs of aging, but using well-formulated products (and they don't have to be expensive) helps a great deal. Overall the folks behind Simple took their name too literally.
For more information about Simple, call 0121-712-6523 or visit www.simple.co.uk.
Note: All prices are given in United States currency.
I have been using this product for over a year now and it doesn't seem to be horrible. It doesn't cause any significant breakouts. However my skin type is combo to oily. Is this not good for my skin type? It seems lightweight actually and provides me with the moisture I like. I'm going to be trying out one of your BHA's soon so I hope this moisturizer is okay to use with it. I would switch it up, but I need to change one at a time.

Kristine Kaiser: Time for Tillis, Cooper and Wos to go
An occasional political housecleaning is good for the public; it opens up possibilities and freshens things. Indeed, long-overdue resignations are sometimes just what the people need. I can think of three North Carolina officials who should step down now.
North Carolina Speaker of the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis is first on my list of people who should go. He is fundraising for his U.S. Senate seat while leading the business of the state. While such fundraising is not illegal since Tillis is a state official running for a federal seat, it seems very unethical.
Tillis is in a position where he could trade favors for campaign cash. Corruption is possible.
Also his working time is divided between the NCGA and his U.S. Senate campaign. The public expects him to be at his best. He should not use his official position to woo voters. The self-serving tactic politicizes all the work of the state. Surely, even politics can be overdone.
Since Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan has agreed to multiple televised debates, Thom Tillis should have plenty of opportunity to make his case for the U.S. Senate before a broad audience. He should not use the business of the state as an officious forum. Certainly, for the benefit of North Carolina, Speaker Tillis should resign his current post.
Attorney General Roy Cooper should resign. He has signaled that he is running for the governor's office in 2016. Yet, his top cop duties often conflict with many issues.
He has stated that he is personally against the 2013 massive anti-voter laws, but he also says that it is his job to defend the suppression laws in court. Can he be for and against an issue at the same time? Oh, it's a must, his duty. Sorry, we receive all too many mixed messages from politicians. Cooper's "duty" doesn't make the confusion easier.
Cooper insists that he is a lawyer, and that lawyers are often called upon to defend personally disagreeable matters. If he is going to be Janus-faced, how can we trust his principles?
Roy Cooper's political credentials are strong enough that he can run a very effective gubernatorial campaign without being the sitting attorney general. Resigning would only enhance his credibility. Cooper should not perplex the public. He needs to be clear in 2016.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos must go on her way as well. She should go because of her incompetency in running the state agency. From lavish salaries for novice campaign staffers to long delays for food stamp recipients, Wos has proven that the cabinet position is over her head. It's too much for her.
Ironically, she is a wealthy donor to the McCrory gubernatorial campaign and was put in charge of the agency most responsible for the poor. Dr. Wos does not seem to understand the urgency of getting food stamps to people in a timely manner. She really doesn't seem able to understand the poor, a must for a person in charge of the DHHS.
Secretary Wos has provoked the criticism of state Democrats and Republicans. She remains in her position through Gov. Pat McCrory's favor; McCrory doesn't upset his big donors. He's easy with them, coddling their way through the tough times. Wos's departure is long overdue and would benefit the state. Dr. Aldona Wos should now resign.
June is not too late for major housecleaning. Tillis, Cooper, and Wos, should go away as loose bits from a shook rug. Surely, North Carolina is ready to come clean of its officials, who for one reason or another, aren't well-suited to serve the state in their present jobs.
