BSOD: "Bad Pool Header" when log on Win7 + others BSOD problem
I have some problem on my Toshiba M645 Laptop.
The blue screen came out when I try to log on, BSOD "Bad Pool Header" appears in front of the log on screen. (already started-up before) This is the first time of BSOD by newly OS, all drivers installed and it happens one time. Before this happens, I turned on my external LCD monitor that included 4 USB Hub connector. [4 USB Devices: Keyboard, Mouse, DAC, UPS Data Link turned on when switched on the monitor] Previously, I've seen BSOD "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area" when softwares, devices are starting up (appears one time), then I formatted OS & claimed a new mainboard already. Can anyone tell me the system data written failed can caused this problem or the hardware issue? Maybe it's caused by driver problem, please check my dump files & help. Thanks in advance. My Laptop: Toshiba Satellite M645-1014X OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OEM Toshiba CPU: Intel Core i5 M560 2.67GHz RAM: Samsung 4GB 2x2 Dual Channel HDD: Hitachi 500GB VGA: Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Geforce GT330M 1GB SOUND: Realtek High Definition Audio |

Missouri Grade Level Expectations
. We can also partner with you on a service learning project.
Our modest program fees assist in covering our costs for staff, travel and materials. Groups of 1-40 students are $65.00 per presentation. Groups of more than 40 are $75.00 per presentation. There is a .50 mileage surcharge for locations over 15 miles from the APA. Scholarships may be available for organizations serving low-income individuals
. Classes at the APA are limited to 26 students.
Below is a partial list of our programs. To learn more please contact Jennifer Blome, Director of Humane Education, at

In this program, kids learn about the joys and responsibilities involved in adopting a pet. Kids participate in a mock pet adoption and a pretend trip to the pet store to learn about the commitment needed to adopt a pet. Kids of all ages.
"Litter Patrol"
Millions of homeless animals are put to sleep each year because there aren't enough homes for them. What can you do about it? The simple answer is spay and neuter. In this class, students learn about the realities of animal overpopulation. Then, they put on scrubs and perform spay surgery on stuffed animals! Kids age 8+.
"Don't Shop—Adopt!"
Millions of homeless animals enter animal shelters every year. Sadly, many of these animals are produced in cruel Missouri "puppy mills." In this course, students learn what a puppy mill is, the difference between buying a pet and adopting one, and why adoption is the kindest option. Ages 10+.
"Bug Out!"
In this science class, kids get to see icky parasites under microscopes like fleas, ticks and worms. In the process, students learn about the personal responsibility and veterinary care needed to keep pets happy and healthy. Ages 8+.
"Safety with Animals"
Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. seeks medical attention for a dog bite. Sadly, most dog bites happen to children under the age of 15. In this class, kids learn the ways dogs and cats communicate, the proper way to approach a dog, and what to do if approached by a stray animal. Ages 4+.
"Career Kids"
In this class, kids participate in a fashion show to highlight exciting careers with animals. They also learn about the education and interpersonal skills needed for success. Ages 5+.
"It Just Makes Sense"
In this experiential science class, kids learn how animals use their five senses to survive in their environment, and how animal senses compare to our own. Ages 5+.
"Animal Welfare 101"
The face of animal welfare is constantly changing. This class helps adults and mature students understand how the different animal agencies in St. Louis work together to serve animals and people. Participants will learn new terminology as well as how they can become a part of animal welfare in St. Louis. Adults and students ages 13+.

Atlantic Starr was a known for their biggest hits, "Always" and "Secret Lovers." They originally formed in 1976 by Duke Jones who was the trumpeter for the group. Other members of the group included drummer Porter Carroll Jr., bassist Clifford Archer, percussionist and flutist Joseph Phillips, guitar Sheldon Tucker, David Wayne, and Jonathan Lewis. As time went on the band eventually formed with the members: Carroll, Archer, Phillips, and the three Lewis brothers with lead singer Sharon Bryant who was then later replaced by Barbara Weathers.
In 1977, the band traveled to California where they played at nightclubs, eventually being signed by A&M's Herb Alpert. They needed a brand name in order to sell, and they already had established Starr as part of the band name — then they decided to add Atlantic to it to represent their East Coast roots.
Throughout the '70s and '80s, the band was topping charts and selling records, eventually they started topping charts in other genres of music as well. By the mid-1980s, the band only consisted of the three Lewis brothers, Phillips, and Weathers. By the early 1990s the band was continuing to top charts in all genres of music. In 1992, they added the newest female vocal to the group, Crystal Blake. But by 1994, their relationship with their latest record label Warner Brothers had been ruined. When Atlantic Starr released their album Arista: Time, it saw disappointment and received little attention on the charts. Deciding to switch around the group again, the band with their newest members released Legacy off a small independent label and just like their last album is failed to meet a good commercial album. To this day Atlantic Starr still performs, though.

Sales pitch and wifi
THe kitchen facilities were great Staff were vert responsive and helpful Confortable beds Amazing strip view Good security
A 10am check out on New Years Day. No flexibility on this.
The apartment we stayed in had a full kitchen, great for families. The hotel is in a great location for the strip, plenty of parking.
Why have the Concierge sell rides (offer a car service and take a cut)? This is a practice for a lessor hotel, and diminished our experience.
location was good
I rented a studio thru a travel site. Ended up overpaying for my 5 day stay by several hundred dollars. Housekeeping was lackadaisical as was maintenance which I blame the building Management staff for. Upon first checking in late nite I quickly discovered my studio has a thick coating of dust covering on just about every hard surface I randomly touched. Next morning I discover my bathroom sink drain clogged is slow to drain causes water to drain s l o w l y leaves scum behind that over 5 days stay never gets cleaned. Then I discover burnt out NW light bulbs and no iron to press clothes, and despite what printed literature left in room espousing conservation of towels and energy, every day I'm provided with new fresh new bar of soap/new towels, the old one I guess gets thrown out??? NO way to run a business!!!
The bed is a sofabed and the sofa cushions were left on a table. The room is not a bedroom but a living room. The kicinette have only the microwave and a small fridg.
Location & no casino
Studio is very small Workspace is not useable because if huge alarm clock
Love the view and the location.
There was a leak in kitchen.
They mixed up my room a s they gave me a studio. An I was ok whatever it still come with a kitchen for my food. When. I arrived I to the room it was a disappointment. It is literally 10 steps long. The kitchen is not a kitchen is a sink and microwave. Horrible. And I paid a $1000 dollars for 3 night from the 30th 5 the second. For that price it was not worth other locations where more affordable then here for Biggers rooms. Never ever staying here again.
The location of the place since it is convenient and walking distance from the strip.
checking in late at 4pm and checking out early the next day at 1000. It was hard for everybody to wake up at 9am since we slept late celebrating new year.
We were able get only one night on New Years Eve. Parking was good and was included. Location was great for us.
High cost for one night. Long time to check in. Exercise room closed at 4 pm. Poor environment with people in lobby with paper bags instead of suitcases bringing food.
Next to The Strip. The kitchen, good size. Linked rooms next door with rest of group.
Tucked behind shops, walk down alley to reach strip.
They charge you a $20 per night resort fee..... They don't even clean the room, if you leave anything on the bed they won't make it. This is not a resort. The jacuzzi water is bath temp.
The kitchen
Drain in tub/shower was very slow, must have been clogged.
Location- The hotel is one street back from the strip- so close enough to the action but far enough to allow for peace and quiet. No casino attached to the hotel so no need to walk through smoke filled pokies to get to room- such a relief after realizing that every casino area allows smoking indoors in Vegas which is awful for a non smoker. Arrived at hotel to be told that they needed to move me to a 1 bed suite instead of the booked small room- they were really apologetic which instantly made me think I was about to have to pay more- but when I asked how much extra, they said it was no extra- they just hoped I would be ok with having the upgrade-massive win!!! and they were genuinely relieved that I was happy to upgrade at no cost-huh? who on earth would have an issue with this? apparently quite a few guests have taken them to task previously for a free upgrade- seriously?! Room was fantastic- and HUGE. price is exceptional given the amenities and location. Great little store in the hotel that stocks anything you need- especially great if wanting to grab something to eat without going to find a restaurant. Had nice view from my room and all staff were incredibly friendly.
rooftop pool area is a touch overstated in advertising- still very pleasant but quite small and shallow, so more of a kids pool than anything else.
Roof top pool was lovely, a good price for large room/suite options right on the strip. You don't have to deal with the noise and smoke of the casinos but you're right on the strip in the midst of all the excitement and amenities.
Housekeeping didn't make the bed because clothes were on it and left a note exfoliating that. I've never seen that before... Just nicely relocate the articles of clothing, make the bed and tidy up. Wish room service also included breakfast instead of just lunch and dinner. Not clear signage on where to turn in to property.
Close to the strip! We had adults, early 20's kids and their friends! The suite was perfect- like having 3 bedrooms!
Mattress on the pullout couch was pretty thin.
Spacious, comfortable, easy access to strip.
Lots of noise from trash collection and workers moving construction stuff.
Close to the strip
Noisy neighbours. Main reason adjoining rooms. Not good when you have a long flight next day without sleep.

Being required to go through a Diamond's Promotion on its Worldwide Resorts and seeking you to sign up for a 2 hour session on this BEFORE even getting to your room!
Almost all Casinos were within walking, the free shuttle took care of the rest. Staff excellent, our apartment was great, towels changed daily and bed made, plenty of toiletries, bed very comfortable, pool area good.
They have a very pushy and aggressive sales team, they leap on you as you arrive and then bombard you with phone calls, this is not nice especially after a very long flight and I met several guests who felt intimidated by their approach.
Nice & neat rooms.
Sound insulation of rooms was very poor. Street noise made me sleepless over night.

Hopefully someone here will know something beyond the basic info on bats. I'm visiting my aunt in upstate NY and she gets bats in the house. At first I thought no problem, they don't fly into things so nothing to worry about. But I was sitting up reading in a large room where the bats get into and saw one fly into a hanging plant and fall to the floor and start to crawl around and squeak.
Why do bats fly into things when they have sonar? I also heard one fly repeatedly into the wall. Once on the floor can't they get airborn again? there were 4 bats involved in this incident and I didn't see one manage to take flight once on the floor. I caught three and threw them into the trees outside the door, but I distinctly heard two of them fall through all the branches and land on the ground, where I'm sure the cats got them. One seemed nearly dead anyway, I think it had been inside for at least two nights without food, but one at least was still in good shape and should have been able to take flight. When I turn on the lights the bats stop flying and settle on whatever's closest. Surely light doesn't interfere with their sonar? According to Bat Conservation it's mainly lost juveniles that get into houses but June seems too soon for young ones to be flying in upstate NY, and 4 at once seems like a lot of bats! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It sounds like your aunt has bats in her attic and they are getting into the house on accident and then can't find their way back out. They can be excluded by covering their exit hole with hardware cloth that has been left open at the bottom so they can leave, but can't get back in. June is baby season though, so please don't do this until August. Otherwise the babies left behind will starve to death. Meanwhile... Bats primarily use their sonar when hunting, and they don't recognize a wall as an object even if they do use it as there is no "edge" to it. Being inside really messes with their navigation. Light does not bother them as such, they just know if it's light they can be seen - and possibly preyed on. When a bat has been grounded, they need help getting air born. Bats take off by falling - it takes about 5 feet of clearance for a good take off. If you find anymore FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT - don't touch them with your bare hands. They odds are very good that there is nothing to worry about, but you don't need to be taking chances. If a bat has been known to come into direct contact with a human it has to be destroyed and tested for rabies. So please use gloves (or a towel)! Second don't 'toss' it. They need time to regain their orientation. Place the bat on a cloth (not terry type towels though) and hang the cloth from a branch with nothing under it for at least five feet. If you can't reach such a branch, you can thumbtack the cloth to the trunk of the tree as high as you can reach. The bat may not take off right away but leave it alone for a while and it will be OK. They will repay you buy eating many skeeters in your area :). |

Hi...can anyone help me with a red...whte and blue grouping of hydrangeas. As long as they bloom together I dont care what kind really. Long blooming would be a plus...thanks bob |

This can be a tricky grouping :-) To develop the very deep blue flowers you need acidic soils - pink flowering hydrangeas ("red" is a stretch - dark pink is as best as you'll get) benefit from neutral to slight alkaline soil. Having two distinctly different soil pH levels in the same general area is often hard to accomplish. I'd lean towards the more acidic conditions and develop some strong blues and select the pink cultivars known to best hold their color regardless of soil pH. Some to consider are 'Hornli', 'Glowing Embers' 'Merritt's Supreme' and 'Geoffrey Chadbund'(syn 'Mowe'). You may need to apply lime directly around the rootballs of these to maintain the pink/red without it purpling but be sure to keep any lime away from the blues. White will remain white regardless of growing conditions. |

Manipulating the Clipboard from the Command LinePosted on 10:15, November 23rd, 2013 by Many Ayromlou
Manipulating the Clipboard from the Command Line: "Copy and Paste are absolute necessities for virtually all computer users, and if you find yourself working in the command line frequently, you'll want to know how to manipulate the clipboard. The commands pbcopy and pbpaste do exactly what they sound like, copy and paste through the command line. They're actually quite powerful and you'll be sure to find them useful the next time you're hanging out with your bash prompt." (Via.) Nov
Streaming 1080P video using Raspberry Pi (or BeagleBone Black)Posted on 21:24, November 9th, 2013 by Many Ayromlou
I've finally got this project to a point were I can do a write up on it. The following hardware is needed:
The goal of this project is to get the following installed and configured:
UPDATE: Sound works now on BeagleBone Black. On Raspberry you will run into alsa buffer xruns. See below for updated streamVideoRTSP script. What I still need to figure out is the sound off the camera. At the moment I got buttery smooth 1080P video off the Pi (on wired or wireless connection) running at 5Mb/s but the sound is yet to come. 0) Preparation: So to prepare you need to get linux installed on your Pi or BBB (BeagleBone Black). I used the latest raspbian for the PI and BeageBone Black Ubuntu Raring 13.04 for BBB. Get it installed onto your SD card. If you use a larger than 8GB SD card you can follow the procedure below to expand the partition from 8GB to whatever your SD card can hold (mine is a 16GB card) (NOTE: almost all commands need to be executed as root so do a sudo -i to start with):
1) CRTMP Server installation CRTMP server is a streaming media server very similar to wowza. I use this to point ffmpeg at and to get playback on JWplayer. Grab the source code and follow the instructions for installing it on Ubuntu from http://wiki.rtmpd.com/quickbuild. You will need to create your build environment before you start building so do the command below to setup your environment and get the prerequisites installed:
Once this process is finished you'll end up with the executable in /opt/crtmpserver/builders/cmake/crtmpserver, but that's not how you run it. First you need a config file — you can edit crtmpserver.lua in /opt/crtmpserver/builders/cmake/crtmpserver or save a copy of the original and create a new one with the content from below (I've just cleaned up the original a tiny bit).
Once you have this saved (or modified yours to look like this you can go ahead and try to start the server with the following command (NOTE: you need to be in the cmake directory (rather than crtmpserver) and reference the files with partial paths……not sure why…..something to do with cmake base directory).
You should get output similar this this
So far so good……the server is up and running now. You can stop it using Ctrl-C. Lets continue……. 2) C920 install and config (v4l2), ffmpeg installation, boneCV installation from Derek Molloy's site Logitec C920 is a really nice camera. Bit on the expensive side, but incredibly capable as we'll see. I came across a post from Derek Molloy where he talks about UDP streaming h.264 streams off the C920 using a beagle board. That's when I discovered the magic of this little camera. You see, the camera can provide image data via usb just like any other camera, but it also has the built in capability of producing a 3.5 Mb/s CBR video stream encoded in h.264 in either 640×480, 1280×720 or 1920×1080. I literally jumped out of my seat when I read this and picked one up from the local Best Buy (about $100). So now to get this signal in we need some of the tools that come with v4l (video4linux) utility package. Here is how you go about it:
3) Configuring ddclient for dynamic DNS (optional) This is totally optional and has no effect on the final product (makes life a bit simpler). I'm just going to provide the bare minimum explanation and my config. This process is very dependant on your DNS provider (if you have one), my example config is for my provider easydns.com. Your mileage will vary :-).
4) Putting it all together and creating a webpage with embedded JWplayer to view the stream So now you need to grab JWplayer (the free version) install it (copy the jwplayer folder) into a folder on your webserver (I copied mine into a folder of my blog server). The main file here is the HTML file that has the specifications for the stream in it. You need to create this to suite your need (ie: if you have dynamic DNS use the DNS name or if you don't use the IP address of the Pi/BeagleBoard. Your mileage will vary :-). The above code is an example you will need to sustitute your own data to get it to work. We need two ssh windows off the Pi (one to run the crtmpserver and the other to start capturing and feeding it via streamVideoRTSP script. So go ahead start crtmp (see above….we did this as a test in step 1) and in the other window start streamVideoRTSP script. Those two windows should look like this: That's pretty much it. If you now load the html file for jwplayer and press play (assuming you've done everything correctly) the stream should start playing in about 4-5 seconds. The encoding delay in the entire chain is about 2-3 seconds, the quality (considering it's a webcam feeding a $35 computer) is really good and given proper power the Pi can steam this 1080p/30 stream without a issue. Just for the fun of it I also (at the same time) tried to feed the crtmp server (on the pi) a seperate quarter rez HD stream (640×360) encoded by ffmpeg on my desktop and yep, no problems (although the Pi is on medium overclocking settings). These RTMP streams can also be very easily scaled by passing them to larger crtmp installations and/or ustream/wowza for rebroadcast. Below you'll find a bunch of ffmpeg command line entries I used for this second stream and also a quick (optional) write up on how I got the wireless dongle from Trendnet to work and configured from CLI.
For wireless I'm using a TrendNet TEW-645UB which is directly supported under linux. Initially I used wpa_cli to get things configured and once the system was configured I massaged the files a bit. Here is a log of the whole thing:

Installing Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate (Maya) 2014 for OSX from command linePosted on 16:01, August 15th, 2013 by Many Ayromlou
After battling this for about a week I think I've got it figured out. You can install all the required packages and get everything to talk to your license server from command line. BTW, before I start, you need to have a functional license server otherwise you can stop reading now. I'm gonna use licserver.com as the domain name of mine, so substitute your DNS name where necessary. Before we start you need to figure out your product codes from the table at the following address:
My products are Maya (657F1), Mudbox (498F1) and my Suite number for ECSU is 793F1. You'll need these later. Also my base directory (current directory) in these commands is "MacOSX", there are separate folders for the individual ECSU apps under this folder. First we install Maya:
Then we create a file named Maya2014.lic in folder /private/var/flexlm and put the following text inside it:
Make sure this file has at least read permission for group and others (mine is 744). Then we create another file named License.env in folder /Applications/Autodesk/maya2014/ and put the following text inside it:
Install the standalone adlmgr package (you'll get errors later if you don't do this):
Now comes the fun part of enrolling the serial number into the license manager. Remember the Product code and the Suite code I had you look up earlier, we need them now. In the following command line -i inserts, "N" is for network license type, First Code is the Product code (Maya) and the second code is the Suite code (ECSU in my case). The following command should get the license added (use the proper serial# starting with 379):
If you screw up you can remove the license via this command:
Next step is optional. When Maya starts it displays a bunch of intro screens. Since my deployment is run by a KACE appliance I need to be able to Pre-disable these popup screens. The following command will let you do that:
Next we need to install all the Optional installs Maya comes with. Some of it is probably already installed by the Maya installer, but I installed them again for good measure. No harm done. Use the following 11 installer commands to install them:
Now check to make sure Maya is working and all the other extra little apps we installed are functional. They should be. If not stop and review. Assuming it's all working, lets move on and install Mudbox and the last few optional installs. First we need to install Mudbox:
Then we need to create the License.env file in /Applications/Autodesk/Mudbox2014/ folder with the following content:
Now comes the fun part of enrolling the serial number into the license manager. Remember the Product code and the Suite code I had you look up earlier, we need them now. In the following command line -i inserts, "N" is for network license type, First Code is the Product code (Mudbox) and the second code is the Suite code (ECSU in my case). The following command should get the license added (use the proper serial# starting with 379):
If you screw up you can remove the license via this command:
Only two more install command left to go. These are optional packages that are part of ECSU. Use the following two installer commands to get them installed:
Now you should be able to run Mudbox and pretty much all the other apps that are in Autodesk folder under Applications. Hopefully it all worked out for you. I will try to get a KACE workflow done for this in the next few days. If you're a KACE user and end up making the workflow before I do, please share :-). |

Every Friday in 2013, the Let's Fly Away Across the USA series features a different state, documenting the things we love about each sate and what you should do or see when you visit.
For Utah, Elisabeth says
I'm Elisabeth, and I blog at Bella. I just finished school in Utah and moved to Cincinnati this summer with my husband. We met and fell in love in Utah and spent the first two years of our married life there! After 4 years of living next to those gorgeous mountains, they'll always hold a piece of my heart.
Elisabeth loves
Other than the amazing people in Utah, I love the outdoors. Within a few short hours you can find some of the most amazing skiing and rock climbing, fabulous boating, wonderful hiking and biking, and flat desserts. There is a such a variety and the landscape difference between northern and southern Utah is so great, you'd think were in different countries. My husband and I love rock climbing and biking together so Utah was a perfect place for us to start off.
Elisabeth recommends
1. Salt Lake City. Visit Temple Square — be sure to hit up Mini's for delicious cupcakes or City Creek for a scenic shopping experience afterwards.
2. Arches National Park. No explanation needed if you see the photo above!
3. Alpine Scenic Loop. It's one of top five scenic drives in the country (and nestled in my mountains right behind my aunt's home). There is a lake up there perfect for summer outings and in fall the brilliant yellows against the deep evergreen is stunning.
For bonus points
Random Fact: Utah was originally settled by the mormons who tried to establish the State of Deseret (much larger than current Utah and named after the honeybee). Eventually, congress settled on "Utah," an Apache word for higher up.
For Idaho, Annelise says
I'm Annelise Rowe, and I blog at Aunie Sauce. I live in Meridian, Idaho, a suburb of Boise. I moved to Idaho in 2002, the sixth state I've lived in. We moved often for my dad's job (he's in the lumber industry), and Idaho was our final stop. I look forward to someday raising a family in this growing little-city.
Annelise loves
We have four full seasons. We have mountains, desert, lakes, rivers, and the best hiking around. We have the best climate for the outdoorsman, boasting great places to camp, fish, hunt, explore, photograph, boat, run, and travel. Our state also holds claim to the only blue football field in the world, Boise State's blue turf! I may be a little biased (I'm a BSU alumni & former cheerleader), but it certainly is unique!
Annelise recommends
1. Float the Boise River. It's a 2-hour experience that's like traveling the lazy river at a waterpark. Slap on the sunscreen, bring some beverages, your favorite tube or raft (or even an inflatable animal—I rode the river on a whale this summer!) and enjoy every minute.
2. Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho. There's nothing like a summer spent on Payette Lake. McCall is a very small town with great hole-in-the-wall eateries, recreation parks, and a lovely little lake that is cool in the summer and freezes over in the winter. It's a sight to be seen.
3. A show up at Starlight Mountain Theatre. It's an outdoor amphitheater in Crouch, Idaho that puts on small-scale Broadway musicals. The theatre overlooks a creek and rolling hills, and it's not unusual to see deer passing through the fields behind the stage. The actors are always high school and college age, and there are always some good laughs to be had. If you catch a show on the weekends, you can also eat a full catered dinner for a small fee. A full tummy and great acting will bring music to your ears up in the mountains of Idaho.
For bonus points
The best thing about Idaho is that you can be in a big(ger) city like Boise, and within 5-minutes you can be hiking in the wilderness without another person in sight. It's a state where you can enjoy the cities if you want to, but escape to be surrounded by nature at a moment's notice. Also, we have beautiful, bright sunsets! Idaho is a truly amazing state.

Okay, so in Science today Shneer, Clueless and I started debating whether it would be a good thing to have a black atheist lesbian as president.
Shneer: Well, I doubt there will ever be a homosexual as president. So many people wouldn't vote for them. Anyway, they'd be too biased about gay rights.
Me: Well, you could say that about pretty much everyone. Nobody complains about Obama being too biased about racial minority rights. A woman would be too biased about sex equality. There we go. It would be impossible to have anyone be 100% unbiased there.
Clueless: Still, they wouldn't get many votes…
Me: Haha, they should come out right after being sworn in.
Shneer: IMPEACHMENT!
Me: Anyway, whoever would probably get some votes for being a political minority, like Obama and Hilary Clinton did. Not enough, perhaps, but some. Well, I think it still depends on the actual person more than the miniority-ness, but the idea would be good.
Today nothing really important happened at all... I just feel I need to journal because I haven't in a while, and I'm usually pretty regular. I was thinking some deep thoughts today… but I don't feel like typing any of it.
The end.
(I'm actually on the phone with Jayjay, so-Sorry for being distracted.)
I'm confident that you'd find this a quite interesting research project... :)
What about only bachelor president, Buchanan? He was called "Betsey" Buchanan by the press corps at the time.
"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." - Kurt Cobain
President Buchanan lived with a man, Vice President King (I don't remember his first name, but I know that he was not Buchanan's vice president, but somebody's before him), for sixteen years. So, yeah, I'd say he was probably gay. But, he can't count because he wasn't elected by people who knew he was gay...

There should be a file /etc/emu10k1.conf or /etc/emu10k1/emu10k1.conf that you have to specify to use rear/4.1 speakers. I'm a little rusty on emu10k1 b/c ALSA is so much nicer.

230 to Graduate During Spring CommencementGraduates number an all-time record for the University
Anderson University will hold spring commencement at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, May 2. A total of 230 graduates, an all-time record, will cross the stage, including the third group of master's degree recipients at AU.
The University will also award three honorary Doctor of Humanities degrees. One will be given posthumously to David T. Clamp, a native of Honea Path, who throughout his distinguished career with the Civil Aeronautics Board fostered a dream to establish a graduate school of ministry at Anderson University. That program will commence in the fall. Mrs. Jane Ferguson Clamp, the widow of Mr. Clamp will also be honored with an honorary degree during Saturday's commencement. It was her continued dedication to Anderson University after her husband's passing in October that brought his dream to fruition. An historic announcement will accompany the awarding of the degrees to the Clamps.
In addition, State Representative Dan Cooper of Anderson County District 10, will be given an honorary degree from AU. A native of Piedmont, Mr. Cooper is a graduate of Anderson University, has served as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee in the legislature, and has been a powerful advocate for the people of Anderson County and for Anderson University.
The outdoor ceremony takes place in one of the most scenic settings in the Southeast and for the second year will feature a procession of students and faculty led by a white horse and rider, a unique tradition that, when combined with a new feature, the procession of flags representing each of the colleges at AU, makes the event uniquely colorful and memorable.
In the event of inclement weather, the graduation ceremony will be moved to NewSpring Community Church in Anderson.

For the past year and a half, I have been working to formalize and advance product design across HOK's worldwide network of offices. It has been an exhilarating experience. To date, HOK Product Design, LLC, has reviewed 350 product ideas and secured business arrangements with manufacturing partners for 35 HOK-designed products. We have 15 more products in different stages of development.
HOK's designers tell me that creating new products is an extension of what they typically do every day: solve problems as elegantly as possible. "Designing products gives us a new way to express ourselves," says Tom Polucci, director of interior design in HOK's Chicago office, and a designer of rubber and carpet tile for Mannington. "The process involves fewer people and moves much faster than our projects for the built environment. Yet it takes the same level of commitment required to deliver excellent service and design for our projects. We can't just sketch a product and send it to a manufacturer to build."
Market Research in a Box
HOK's clients are best-in-class corporations and institutions. They also are our manufacturers' clients. We provide value by providing best-in-class information about what our mutual clients are looking for in the marketplace. In addition, we can bring direct feedback about how a client views a product's performance.
Our designers also can identify gaps in the market and develop ideas for filling the void. When an experienced designer like Tom Polucci, who has specified thousands of acres of flooring in his career, says the market needs a new flooring product, his belief comes from empirical research. HOK becomes an informal but extremely valuable research arm for the manufacturer. We are "market research in a box."
Our goal for every product is to add value by improving on what currently exists or to invent a new idea that doesn't exist in the market, which is what we have done with three patent-pending ideas. We want to help our manufacturing partners succeed by offering them valuable new ideas that add to their existing product line and may give them added depth in a market or access to a new market sector such as healthcare.
Into the Hearts and Minds of HOK's Designers
We're working diligently to instill product design into the hearts and minds of the firm's designers. Steps we have taken include:
• visiting many HOK offices to give face-to-face presentations about HOK Product Design
• posting Product Design policies on HOK's intranet
• naming Product Design ambassadors in individual offices
• creating a Product Design section in our offices' materials libraries
• establishing an HOK Product Design advisory board that helps shortlist ideas. This board includes senior HOK people and an outside advisor who is a venture capitalist by trade.
• designing a "Product of the Month" series of posters displayed in each office
• publishing an hokproductdesign.com Web site
In addition to familiarizing myself with the decision-making process of our manufacturer clients, I have engaged HOK's legal group to get up to speed on the intellectual property aspects of the business and have learned how the manufacturing process differs from architecture.
Submitting an Idea
We have developed a Tier 1 and Tier 2 template form for submitting new product ideas. First, our designers can click the "Submit an Idea" button on hokproductesign.com. As the first set of eyes, if I believe an idea has merit, I request that the person or team provides a Tier 1 submittal on the idea.
In Tier 1, we ask for an outline of the idea, a list of competitive products and an explanation of the market viability. We also request basic design concepts. A few times a year, we develop a shortlist of ideas and ask participating designers to develop a Tier 2 document. This is a robust business plan that provides a detailed description of the product and an analysis of the market and competitors. If this looks good, HOK Product Design invests in that idea.
Ideas that Impact the World
Once our people fully understand the product design process, it will get easier for them to apply design thinking to product.
"It feels good to have the potential to get more value out of something we create rather than participating as bystanders and using products developed by others, says Paul Wilhelms, an architect in HOK's St. Louis office who was a co-creator of the FRENO Rain Garden system, a kit-of-parts, patent pending urban rain garden for stormwater filtration and groundwater recharge. "We have the ability to make such a large impact on the world with just one strong idea."
HOK Product Design's royalty sharing program also offers HOK designers potentially lucrative financial incentives. A good product could pay dividends to the designer for years to come.
Susan Grossinger heads the year-old HOK Product Design Group. She has held key positions with HOK since joining the firm in 1994. Prior to launching the new HOK business unit, she was director of interiors for the HOK Los Angeles office and was a member of the Los Angeles management team. She is a former member of HOK's Board of Directors.

Yesterday I tried to install X3: Reunion (Linux Distribution) on Ubuntu 13.04 32-bit. My laptop uses the Intel Graphics 4500HD. Ubuntu's driver alternative- installed: Intel® Ironlake Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2. (This driver was there, when I installed Ubuntu. I also used the Intel Updater, but the Intel Updater keeps informing me, that I already have the newest driver installed) Is my graphics driver correct?
I ask because after I installed X3: Reunion (Linux Distribution) the game hasn't been able to start. I have already searched the internet for many many hours. Even so I haven't been able to find any answer to the errors (check below). I am not sure if it's my driver or a bad game install (I already tried to re-install the game). I have heard that there are others who experienced similar issues on Linux trying to install games. Maybe someone can help me?
When I start the game launcher, I get this error (let's call it, Error 1):
Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "liboverlay-scrollbar.so": liboverlay-scrollbar.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
When I click on Start Game I get this error (let's call it, Error 2):
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(vsprintf+0xa4) [0xb6bce9f4]
x3() [0x817ed00]
x3() [0x81539d5]
x3() [0x81773b2]

x3() [0x81515fa]
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xb6b7f935]
I use Ubuntu 13.04 32-bit. That's what I know. I am obviously new to Linux. All I need is this game. I'd like to play it once in a while. But I'm not experienced enough to solve these errors. One more thing. Even that I get "Error 1" when opening the launcher, the launcher itself runs fine. When I click on "Start game" I actually get two messages. Error 2 in the terminal and the following message in the launcher(lgp):
Error opening video. There is no VESA driver installed, your graphics adapter or the VESA driver doesn't support the resolution. Further information can be found in the manual.
Well, I already read the "manual" (I wouldn't call it a manual, though). I thought VESA was used in Nvidia Graphics? xD
I chose the 1600X900 resolution, my native resolution. - Yes, I already tried to change the resolution. Once I start the game with another resolution, the error disappears. But the game does not work!
So, basically, what are these errors? (Error 1 and 2) Is my graphics driver correct? (Intel 4500HD) Why doesn't this game start? (X3: Reunion)

15 Minutes of Fame: Hearthstone for Facebook {WoW}
Feb 10th 2009 5:51PM I was never a fan of the apps that forced you to add them before doing anything. I've always made my apps (since they've allowed it anyway) viewable by those who are curious so you aren't forced into that vicious cycle of add and hand me all your info.
If you follow the link to me, you can go straight into the app for example in 'Public' mode.
For those unwary of showing off everything, there are settings -- for example you can tell it not to publish to your wall at all, and in app you can modify per-toon privacy settings (see http://apps.facebook.com/hearthstone/news/13/item) to further restrict (though it's not fully guaranteed ;>).
It's not for everyone, there is definitely those who strictly want to keep their WoW time separate and anonymous (I mean how many of your guildies full names do you even know?), but there are those who play with a close circle who do want everyone knowing when they sneeze, and there are yet others who just want the world to know how great they are too!
Some users (though I'll mention it is against facebooks policy) create a separate facebook account just for their hearthstone -- that way you get all the history features (a log of when you leveled, and what gear you've worn for example) layered on top of the armory dataset without ever having it mixed with your day to day social network. That can also then be used for bloggers to embed their toon on their blogs with a nice wowhead style tooltip.

Feb 10th 2009 5:27PM Hi Dersunde,
Check out the link from the first paragraph -> http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=5245357721
it's the 'About Page' which gives a few details -- though it was on my todo list today to re-write it as it's a tad out of date.
Also, see the screenshot section on that page to get a few ideas of what it's all about.

Tuesday Morning Post: Patching on the edge {WoW}
Feb 10th 2009 6:39AM I used the Launcher to patch for the first time (I usually just go straight through the game) and during the whole patching processes there was a blank 'Patch Notes' window, and then when it completed it just went back to the normal screen full of ads.
Any way to see the patch notes, or where not any?

Jan 19th 2009 9:49PM It happens very rarely. More often than not, the person added the US or the EU realm instead of their own, and they had a common enough name that it matched.
If it ever really becomes a problem, screenshot or it didn't happen -- send over a cap of your character selection screen.
Hearthstone also displays your characters on Facebook {WoW}
Jan 19th 2009 7:44PM There was a period of about 15 minutes there when things were not responding quickly enough. I've got it all resolved now -- except for the armory delays which are no longer getting well trapped -- the EU armory in particular has been really slow today and if it times out during the add, it'll fail and you'll have to try again.
I'll respond more when I'm sure things are operating smoothing.

So not much happening that I need. .. However ...
They have palettes and palettes of interior 2x4s anywhere from 7' long to 16' long, roughly $1.75 to $6.74 a piece. Darn! I just don't need interior wood. They're also unloading a ton of brand new, in the box, kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Some cabinets shop is cleaning house. Evidently we're heading in to the season of donation. Went to H4H after than (of course) and didn't see too much. They're more furniture and old clothing. However, they had a very large donation from someone using English Walnut Urethane stain, and "Sunbleached" stain! The Sunbleached is the perfect gray stain for my wood aging projects. YEAH! I bought a case for an exorbitant amount. For H4H, that is. $30.00. In HD or Lowe's? HAHAHHHAHHAHHAHAA!!! What a steal. The hunt continues... |

Posted already in the 'buy next time' thread....but here's a question for the group. I have a Kenmore Elite 13183 dishwasher - stainless steel all around, hidden touch controls, but reliability and wear have been an issue. I've had to replace a number of items, including: Door switch And the racks have been the most fragile I've ever seen. I've lost a number of the vertical tines from breakage, the top rack has frayed edges at the front and is showing signs of rusting out, etc. I've had a number of problems with not draining. While the Cancel/Drain cycle works fine, many cycles end with standing water in the bottom. I've checked all the hoses for blockages, and none were severe beyond normal food gunk. I've ran several cycles with baking soda / vinegar, replaced the drain pump, and it seems to be working better.....but since this is the 2nd time it's been backed up, I might be putting a DNR tag on it for the next repair. Anyone with this dishwasher or similar issues have any advice on how to keep it working longer (about 6-7 years old), or to plan for its replacement? If replacing, what would you replace it with? Thanks in advance.... |

That DW is in it's golden years, it's not designed to last 20+ years. New: Bosch, Miele, Asko, Thermador or Gaggenau Going to coat roughly twice what that Kenmore was before you started buying extra parts for it. |

I checked the MFG date on the dishwasher - built in November 2008, installed probably in Dec/Jan of 2008-9, so it's barely 5 years old. I'd expect it to be about 1/2 way through its lifespan, not ready to be sent to the junkyard. At the end of the day, I need a dishwasher to do one thing. Keep me from having to wash dishes by hand. I'm frustrated that as I spend more on the initial dishwasher, the repair frequency has gone up, and lifespan has gone down. This dishwasher cost $800 new on sale. I can't see spending $1K+ for a dishwasher that's even less reliable and holds fewer dishes. |

Juniper posts Q1 loss; shares up this morning
Juniper Networks posted a $4.5 million net loss when it reported its first-quarter preliminary results yesterday, but the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based network equipment maker saw its shares tick upward this morning.
Juniper's shares increased 12 percent this morning as Wall Street responded favorably to Juniper's first-quarter results that met lowered expectations. Investors were also encouraged by Juniper Networks CEO Kevin Johnson's positive tone in yesterday's earnings report.
"Juniper has responded well to the challenging macroeconomic environment," Johnson said. "Our focus remains on balancing short-term market realities with our commitment to creating long-term shareholder value. We're doing that by aggressively and thoughtfully managing operating expenses to ensure that we maintain strong levels of investment in our innovation and customer-focused initiatives.
"Our March quarter results indicate that we're executing on this plan, as operating margin was better than expected and new product introductions in our EX, SRX and TX lines are gaining good traction with customers."
Revenue for the quarter that ended March 31 dropped 7 percent year-over-year to $764.2 million, from $822.9 million. Contributing to the loss was a change in California tax laws that resulted in a one-time charge of $61.8 million in the first quarter.
Juniper lost 1 cent per share, compared with a net income of $110.4 million, or 20 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Juniper's adjusted net income was $91.6 million, or 16 cents per share.

text: The difference between a relationship and friendshipThursday, August 13, 2009 What is the difference between a close friendship and a close relation? Most of us believe that when friendship becomes stronger, it may turn into relationship. The truth is different. Think about the kind of talk you have with your friends. You are always very open about your failures and shortcomings. You are not shy of talking about your problem and asking friends to help. In a close friendship, you expect to know everything about each other. How about a relationship? Think about animals. They also show their best side to their mate. We human beings keep lot of secrets away from our partner. We do not want to tell about our failures and shortcomings. We also try to impress our partner when we are in romance. This difference between friendship and relationship is very deep. We calculate our moves in a relationship but are very open in a friendship. We are like a child in friendships but behave like an adult in relationships. If you remain inside your boundaries in a relationship and not try to change it into a close friendship, you will have longer relationships. Telling all does not help in relationships. Are you a nice guy? How would you describe yourself- a nice guy or adventurous, funny, alpha male? It is important to find out how people perceive you? What women think about you? Why am raising this issue- because it may matter a lot when you are asking a woman for a relationship with you. While talking, you may find that women say that they prefer a nice, home loving guy, but look around carefully. Think about which of your friends got a woman of their choice- was that friend known as a nice guy or something else? There may a subconscious appeal for adventurous guy in a woman. Or she may be looking for somebody more different- most popular guy, a sportsman, a funny guy, a strong man and so on. Do not get blinded by what the woman you desire says. Find out what she REALLY wants. That may be different than the description she gives. Author: Yunus S. Saliu | Related Topics |

Acute infectious bacterial disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The bacterium usually enters through the tonsils, nose, or throat and multiplies there, forming a thick membrane that adheres to the tissues and sometimes blocks the trachea, requiring emergency treatment.The bacteria produce a toxin that spreads to cause other symptoms, including fever, chills, sore throat, and lesions in heart muscle and peripheral nerve tissue that may cause death from heart failure and paralysis. Diphtheria is treated with an antitoxin that neutralizes the toxin and produces long-term immunity. Vaccination has greatly reduced its occurrence in Europe and North America.

Clear out the mini-bar
Use the mini-bar to store your own purchased food and beverages. When you check into your hotel room, call housekeeping and ask them to remove all the items from the mini-bar. If they say they can't or won't, purchase an inexpensive Styrofoam ice chest to use in your room. Whatever you do, avoid breakfast in the lobby restaurant—probably the worst value in the world of travel.
