In December 2008 the Commonwealth Parliament introduced a bill that proposes to change the law on cartel conduct. Cartel conduct can occur where there are understandings or arrangements between companies to fix prices, share markets, control output or rig bids.
The Trade Practices Amendment (Cartel Conduct and Other Measures) Bill 2008 proposes to change the law on cartel conduct by establishing criminal penalties and parallel civil penalties for serious cartel conduct.
An exception to the proposed prohibitions is where the cartel conduct is contained in a contract for the purposes of a joint venture and the joint venture is for the production and/or supply of goods or services.
The Trade Practices Amendment (Clarity in Pricing) Bill 2008 has been discussed in previous updates. The Bill became an Act on 25 November 2008 and will come into effect on 25 May 2009.
The Act prohibits component pricing for goods and services unless a single figure price prominently accompanies the component pricing. However the new rules on component pricing will not apply when a corporation is making a representation exclusively to other businesses or governments.
The Trade Practices Legislation Amendment Act 2008 was passed in November 2008, resulting in a change in the law on predatory pricing and unconscionable conduct. Predatory pricing occurs when a company charges a very low price for goods and services with the intent of forcing a competitor to withdraw from the market or to prevent entry of competitors into the market.
A company will now contravene predatory pricing laws even if it will not be able to recoup the losses incurred by predatory pricing. Laws on predatory pricing now also apply to corporations with a substantial degree of market power as opposed to a substantial market share.
The Act also changes the law on unconscionable conduct. Previously, companies were not allowed to engage in unconscionable conduct in trade or commerce, but only where the supply or acquisition of goods or services was at a price of $10 million or less. The Act removes the $10 million threshold in these cases.
The High Court has recently considered the meaning of 'supply' and 'staple commercial product' in relation to contributory infringement of patents.
In October 2008 the High Court handed down judgment in the case of Northern Territory v Collins. Collins had a patent for producing oil from the mixture of bark and wood in cypress trees.
The Northern Territory government grew cypress pine on its Howard Springs Plantation and between 1993 and 2001 it granted licenses to Collins and later to Australian Cypress Oil Company (ACOC) to enter its land and harvest the cypress trees. Collins sued the Northern Territory government for contributory infringement of the patent, because it granted ACOC a license to harvest the cypress trees.
The High Court held that the granting of a license to ACOC constituted 'supply' of a product. In coming to this decision the High Court focused on the practical effect of the ACOC license rather than the legal nature of the license.
However, Collins was ultimately unsuccessful because the High Court held that the cypress trees were a staple commercial product. Under section 117(2)(b) of the Patents Act a person will infringe a patent if they supply a product to another person, unless the product is a staple commercial product. The High Court held that cypress trees were a staple commercial product because they are supplied for a variety of commercial uses.

Set List: Marcus Brigstocke
By Perry Michael Simon on November 8, 2013
This week's comedian taking on the challenge of Paul Provenza and Troy Conrad's "stand-up without a net" show Set List on the Nerdist Channel is Marcus Brigstocke, who has experience with topical humor — all those years on Radio 4's The Now Show and hosting The Late Edition, lots of appearances on panel shows — but this is different. He'll have to generate laughs about fairly demented topics being flashed at him on a screen, on the fly, totally spontaneous. Let's see how he does.

Even prior to Jordan Eberle signing his six-year, 36 million dollar deal with the Edmonton Oilers yesterday, the blogosphere was abuzz discussing his value. He put up mammoth numbers last season, made the all-star team, and the team's other young star (well, one of them – Taylor Hall) had already signed his long-term deal.
The reason for the buzz was this: Oilers fans blindly love their electric young talent (sign him!), but the advanced stat crowd was pushing back (it's a bad time after a lucky season!), citing his shooting percentage.
And oh man did that crowd cite his shooting percentage.
Tyler Dellow wrote about it (multiple times, predicting 54-60 points over 82 games, down from 76). Jonathan Willis wrote about it (predicting 26 goals in 82 games, down from 34). Scott Reynolds wrote about it. David Staples wrote about it. Our own Cam Charron wrote about it this morning. Even the Edmonton Journal mentioned it. You get the point.

Hi everyone, I having been planning on starting some winter sown seeds this year. Last year I started around this time but, unfortunately, a theory of "more is better" overtook me and, after putting winter sown containers in a mini green house, I had little to show for it. So I've practiced my patience over the last year and I swear the containers will not see a green house this year. HOWEVER, I've held off doing any WSing so far because of the arctic winter we've had here (solid on-and-off weeks of below zero temps, etc). So my question to all of you is: can I winter sow now in MI or is it too cold and will damage seeds? I also bought some grow lights and flats to start a few things inside but I'm hoping to do some WSing, too. Any advise you can give would be very much appreciated. Thanks again! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Now is the perfect time for most perennials and hardy annuals. Just don't do anything tender or tropical for sure yet. Also hold off on anything that doesn't require a cold period at all. If you look at the seed packet or look it up online and it says wait until the soil warms up or wait until after the last frost, don't sow it yet. Wait on things like tomatoes beans, sunflowers, zinnias, etc. Also try to do the wintersowing following the tried and true instructions which are simple and flexible. When people alter the basic principles and it doesn't turn out right they often blame the method and don't try it again. It reminds me of when people get recipes online , change a bunch of ingredients, cooking times, etc. Then they go and rate the recipe poorly because it didn't turn out! People that had trouble with wintersowing often tried putting the containers in a greenhouse that overheated, or used topsoil instead of potting mix, or used tiny seed starting peat pellets, or very shallow containers. Sometimes they neglect to add ventilation and a way for rain and snow to get in, or just simply don't add enough potting mix to the containers. Many people also get so excited they start ALL their seeds in the fall and early winter. The quick to germinate ones not requiring cold stratification pop up the first warm spell and then get frozen and killed when the cold of winter sets in. Just double check the faq on here or wintersown.org to make sure you have it down for the best chance at success. |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/wtrsow/
I have been wintersowing in Michigan for nearly a decade. Now is the perfect time! Don't worry about the seeds. They will be well protected in their containers. Get started and put those jugs out in the snow! Martha |
Thanks to both of you! I'll start them going this weekend :) |

Random House, HarperCollins Look to Lock In Low E-Book Royalty Rates: 5 Ways to Protect Yourself
March 18, 2010. Random House and HarperCollins are sending letters to authors and agents seeking amendments to contracts regarding e-book rights. These letters, although some suggest that the author's work was "selected" for digitization, appear to be going to virtually all authors who have no stated e-book royalty rate in their contracts. In some cases, the letters have gone to authors who have never granted e-book rights to the publisher.
These amendments should be treated with extreme care.
E-book royalty rates are low at the moment. Both publishers are trying to lock in e-book royalty rates at 25% of net receipts. As we've previously said, we believe this will prove to be a low-water mark for e-book royalties:
Here's how to protect yourself:
1. Get the absolute right to renegotiate. If you accept these low royalty rates, don't lock yourself in. Try to obtain the unconditional right to renegotiate the royalty rate after a period of, say, two years. If you don't get the unconditional right to renegotiate, then, at a bare minimum, you should have the right to renegotiate if industry standard royalty rates change or if the publisher's standard royalty rate changes. We can help you with the contractual language.
2. Negotiate for a royalty floor. Insist that your royalty amount (in terms of dollars and cents, not percentage points) for e-books will never fall below the royalty amount for the print edition of the work. It's best to peg the minimum to the royalty amount for the hardcover edition of your work. If not, then have the minimum royalty tied to the royalty for the prevailing print version at the time the e-book is sold. This will keep e-book sales from eroding your royalties.
3. Double-check your reversion of rights clause. This is critical. If your reversion of rights clause doesn't have sales thresholds in it, your publisher can argue that availability in any edition — regardless of the number of sales — means your book is "in print." (We don't agree with this interpretation of older contracts, but some publishers argue this with a straight face.) Take this opportunity to clarify your reversion of rights clause by inserting a minimum number of annual sales for a work to be deemed in print. Again, we can help with the language.
4. Check your contract; you may control e-rights. Some of these letters have gone to authors of books for which the author hasn't granted the publisher electronic rights. Others have gone to authors for books in which all rights have reverted. Please contact us or your agent if you have questions about your contract.
5. If you can't obtain adequate safeguards, you may want to bide your time. The e-book market is still a small, developing market, with uncertain economics. Publishers and distributors are fighting major battles over business models. For some books (children's picture books, for example), the market has been especially tiny, although some believe Apple's new iPad may soon change that. In any event, e-book publication isn't a now or never proposition, and signing the contract amendment will prevent you from seeking e-book publication deals with other publishers. Take your time, weigh your options carefully.
As always, if you need help evaluating the terms of your existing Random House or HarperCollins contract to see whether it contains a more favorable e-book royalty rate or whether you granted e-book rights to those publishers in the first place, send in your contracts. We're here to help.
White House Applauds Joint Effort for Print Disabled
March 9, 2010. The Authors Guild, the Association of American Publishers and the Reading Rights Coalition agreed to work together to ensure access to books for people with print disabilities. On the White House blog, Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy, endorsed the effort.
Joint Statement
The Reading Rights Coalition, which represents thirty million Americans who cannot read print due to disabilities; the Authors Guild, with a membership of eight thousand American writers; and the Association of American Publishers, whose more than three hundred members include most of the major commercial publishers in the United States as well as smaller and non-profit publishers, today issued the following statement regarding access to books by Americans with print disabilities:
"The growth in the number of books offered in electronic and audio formats has created tremendous opportunities for the millions of Americans who are blind or have other print disabilities that make it difficult or impossible to read printed books in the same way that other Americans typically do. This large community constitutes a previously-untapped market that is hungry for the educational, inspirational, and recreational opportunities that books can provide, and now offers a significant commercial opportunity to the publishing industry.
"The Reading Rights Coalition, the Authors Guild, and the Association of American Publishers believe that the contents of books should be as accessible to individuals with print disabilities as they are to everyone else. To that end, these groups agree to work together and through the communities they represent to ensure that when the marketplace offers alternative formats to print books, such as audio and electronic books, print-disabled consumers can access the contents of these alternative formats to the same extent as all other consumers."
Supreme Court Reverses Appellate Decision on Freelance Settlement
March 3, 2010. There's big news in our freelance electronic database class action. Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned an appellate court ruling that the settlement, entered into in 2005, was impermissible because it encompassed unregistered as well as registered freelance works. The Supreme Court opinion is here. (Please note: this is a separate action from our Google lawsuit.)
The freelance settlement, valued at up to $18 million, would resolve the copyright infringement claims of freelance writers against database and media companies, such as Dow Jones, the New York Times and the owners of Lexis-Nexis, which had made digital use of the writers' articles without permission. Plaintiffs include individual freelancers as well as three associational plaintiffs — the Authors Guild, the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the National Writers Union. After federal court in Manhattan approved the agreement in September 2005, a group of freelance writers appealed, arguing that the settlement failed to allot sufficient funds to the claims of authors of unregistered works.
In a surprising ruling, a federal appellate court in November 2007 reversed the district court's approval of the settlement on grounds that no one had raised. The appellate court ruled that the district court lacked jurisdiction over claims relating to unregistered freelance articles. (Copyright registration is required to bring a suit for infringement, but since registration is viewed as a formality — comparable, many believe, to the requirement that one file a complaint in order to get into court — lawyers on both sides believed the settlement could resolve infringement claims for both registered and unregistered works.)
The Supreme Court, in its ruling yesterday in Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick, disagreed with the appellate court. The Court held that a settlement of claims for infringement of copyright in unregistered works can be adjudicated by a federal court. The appellate court, which hadn't rendered an opinion on the fairness of the settlement terms, is now expected to review the settlement on its merits.
We'll keep you updated on the progress of the freelance electronic database settlement through the 2nd Circuit. For more information about this class action, please visit the official settlement website www.copyrightclassaction.com.

So who would Florrick/Agos be facing in court? Welcome back, Burl Preston (F. Murray Abraham). Mr. Preston didn't know Alicia had moved on from Lockhart/Gardner, so he mistakenly went to visit her there. But he did end up talking to Will, who wanted to join in on the suit just to battle Alicia. He had a pretty convincing sell: He knows how Alicia works. He knows her weaknesses. And he knows how to beat her. Still, Burl said no.
Burl: "I don't like you."
Will: "I don't like you either. What's that got to do with it?"
Nothing! Welcome to the case, Will!
Alicia & Co. paid Rebel Kane (who just so happened to serve time with Peter Florrick) a visit. Kane agreed to sell Rowby and Marshall the derivative rights for $5. It all seemed too good to be true. And it was. When Alicia went back to Florrick/Agos for a presumed settlement talk, she got the news that not only would Will be joining Burl on the case, but that they would be counter-suing for $800,000 and punitive damages.
In court, Florrick/Agos tried to get a declaratory judgment of non-infringement. But Will wasn't making it easy. True to his word to Mr. Preston, he kept interrupting Alicia to throw her off her rhythm. It worked. Alicia was pissed, but also inspired. She returned to court in a new outfit to distract Will. Her tactics also worked, and led to this fabulous exchange:
Will: "So you decided to change?"
Alicia: "Yup. Into what I wore the night you banged me the first time."
Will: "That's pretty low of you."
Alicia: "I know. I wasn't so discriminating back then."
Oh, snap!!
The case continued the traditional back-and-forth trajectory. And eventually, Judge Marx (Dominic Chianese) made a decision: Mr. Tiller had acquired the derivative work created by Rowby, but it didn't matter. Rowby's song was an unauthorized derivative artwork, and therefore not protected. Their motion for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement was denied. But by coming after Alicia, Will had inadvertently lit a fire under her. Alicia refused to lose to Will.
NEXT: Robyn digs up something for the case and Kalinda digs up information about Marilyn....

'Brave' Teaser Trailer Shows Heroic New Pixar Adventure
Pixar compensates for 'Cars 2′ with a great new trailer for their upcoming film.
Despite tainting their streak with a very mediocre 'Cars 2′, there is literally no doubt in anyone's mind that Pixar is still one of the best storytellers in the industry and their upcoming project 'Brave' is only going to prove it. We now have a teaser trailer for the movie that promises a whole new world and journey.
Set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, Brave stars Kelly Macdonald as Merida, the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman (Julie Walters) and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida's quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom's three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), the surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane).
I love how Pixar is trying to build a whole new mythical world for this movie and it definitely looks striking and impressive. The Scottish lore stands out and the main character is their first ever female lead and looks highly promising. There's hints of dark territory and an overall sense of adventure that only Pixar can provide. And in just a minute's time, Pixar has excited me once again.
Trailer below.

On a day when Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie was referred to as an inadvertent gay icon by the Toronto Standard, it has come to light that shortstop Yunel Escobar wore eye black on Saturday afternoon that was dressed with the phrase, "TU ERE MARICON," which translates from Spanish to English as "You're a faggot."
Update: The Toronto Blue Jays issued a statement on Monday evening confirming that their team's shortstop, Yunel Escobar, displayed a homosexual slur on his eye black during Saturday afternoon's game against the Boston Red Sox.
The Toronto Blue Jays do not support discrimination of any kind nor condone the message displayed by Yunel Escobar during Saturday's game. The club takes this situation seriously and is investigating the matter.
General Manager Alex Anthopoulos will join Escobar, along with Manager John Farrell and Coach Luis Rivera to address the media in New York tomorrow afternoon.
Singular words used to describe Escobar's action can't help but be understated. It's disappointing, disgusting and completely and utterly discouraging to see this. No matter the circumstances that led to it, and let's be clear, we don't know what those are, it's inexcusable to promote hatred in any manner, let alone one that misuses the public stage that professional athletes are given.
Now, in no way does the context excuse Escobar's promotion of intolerance, but I would be remiss if I didn't use this isolated incident to further comment on the sporting culture that fosters this type of behavior. As Andrew Stoeten notes at DJF, some baseball players will be familiar with the phrase if they've ever played with or against players from Latin America. That's not to generalize about Latin Americans specifically, as the language that is used by all races of athletes in such settings is not without blemish.
However, it is to point out that the phrase that Escobar used more accurate translates, in terms of connotation, to something like "You're a pussy," or "You're a pansy," which once again are sadly familiar phrases for most athletes. While not as harsh as the derogatory term that it literally translates into, it's still every bit as inappropriate of an ideology for anyone to be promoting publicly.
I feel as though a mere apology from Escobar for what can only be a complete and utter lack of awareness on his part won't be enough to bring forgiveness and certainly not forgetfulness. Whether through Major League Baseball, or the Toronto Blue Jays, a more severe punishment is called for by such blatant ignorance.
I recall what I'd refer to as the black-listing that Barry Bonds received after the 2007 season (although no one would ever admit that there was any collusion to keep him out of Major League Baseball after that season), and I wonder how others would compare Bonds' actions to Escobar's, at least in terms of such things as sanctity of the game. Say what you want about his alleged cheating and what a terrible person he supposedly was to his teammates and the media, Barry Bonds did not openly promote the hatred of others.
However, I also recall the lack of hesitancy that the Tampa Bay Rays exhibited in their acquisition of accused rapist Josh Lueke, and I'm again reminded that earlier this season Delmon Young pushed a man to the ground and verbally abused him based on his Jewish ethnicity. And so, it remains doubtful that Major League Baseball, whether through the collusion of its teams or via more legitimate channels, will punish Escobar in a manner for which I'm not even sure what's appropriate.
I would hope that, unless there are unthinkable mitigating circumstances that I haven't considered, as an organization, the Toronto Blue Jays will gladly take a loss on value to rid themselves of any player that would do what it appears that Escobar did.
In the meantime:
MLB spokesman Pat Courtney says baseball is looking into Yunel Escobar eye-black situation. Nothing more at this point. #bluejays

Video: Amar'e Stoudemire Tests His Knee In The D-League
So much of the attention paid to Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire this summer was on his training with post guru Hakeem Olajuwon. The pair's workouts in Houston were dissected for improvements in the back-to-the-basket skillset of Stoudemire, long a forward more comfortable with a two-step running start than a traditional entry pass. It feels like deja vu now, five months later, to watch Stoudemire's brief, newest workout tape to look for insight into his recovery from left knee surgery. This time, it's not with a two-time world champion big man, though: It's with the Erie BayHawks. Read More »

"What an excellent and easy to make stuffing. I used the Roasted Vegetable flavor Ritz's the 2nd time I made this and it was even better. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thank You for sharing!"
"This was an excellent dish. It was surprisingly refreshing and was devoured by my guests. As a pasta salad lover, I like the subtle differences from most pasta salads especially the corn in the salad. I did leave out the beans for the crowd I served it to but will add them in next time."
"This dish looks great on the table and tastes even better. A nice tangy flavor and the lack of mayonnaise makes it a much healthier option than standard potato salads. Made it 2hrs b4 dinner then when dinnertime came only had to cook chicken on grill as salad served as my starch and veggie for the night! Made the clean-up time so much easier! Than..."
"What a wonderful salad! Earthy and Tangy! I loved it and it was even better the next day! Have made this 5 times in the last month alone. I now add some pickled jalapenos for kick and changed the 1TSP of sugar to 2TSPs of honey in the dressing. I also use the dressing on grilled veggies and potatoes. Superbly done. A hearty thank you is well deser..."
"The flavor combination of the Soy Sauce and Lem/Pep seasoning was interesting, but it was a bit too salty in my opinion. I think I'll try the dish again with less Soy Sauce and more Lem/Pep seasoning. I did however use the sauce on grilled potatoes and loved it!"
"Very good dish and pretty simple to prepare. I changed the flour to a 50/50 mix of flour and cornstarch and added a lot of fresh crack black & white pepper to the mix and I also quartered the mushrooms instead of thinly slicing them. I served it over egg noodles with some warm dinner rolls and it was a big hit. Thanks for this dish."

I am not usually a fan of VS frangrances - too young, girly and "Candy-Scented". But I LOVE this fragrance! Gorgeous for Fall! A soft vanilla floral - warm and pretty! Love that the scent is soft from the moment you spray it - no offensive stinging of the nostrils or sneezing that some other frangrances can cause upon initially spraying them. Very sophisticated compared to other VS fragrances and wears well for me. Have received many compliments when I wear this. (A man asked me what I was wearing and actually said "It smells incredible!" - HA!) Only thing I am not a fan of is the bottle - not a big fru fru pink fan. But, whatever. The scent inside is INCREDIBLE :-) Hope they don't discontinue this one!! LOVE IT!

tried this at VS store after a disappointment with the Gorgeous fragrance (couldn't smell it at all!). I really like this fragrance. The body mist has good lasting power. My only issue is that it is pricey. I wish they sold this in the ornament size.
I wasn't a fan of this scent. When first sprayed, it has a floral-like smell, but after it dries it turns to an amber musk. I didn't find it unique, kind of a generic scent.
I'm in love with this scent!!! Ah it's like perfection in a bottle! I'm not good at describing scents but I would say that this can work for daytime or evening and is fruity-floral and a little musky yet sweet. Haha that sounds really complicated but I think it's best to just go in the store and smell it. I randomly picked it up from all of the bottles and I completely fell in love with it!!
I love this fragrance in the body mist form layered on top of the Incredible body lotion(lasts longer this way). It's something about this that is very sexy and beautful. It's not perfumey, so the dry down is not bothersome (you could actually wear this to bed and not be bothered by it). I would definitely repurchase this when I run out.
ok, let me start by telling you what fragrances i typically wear, which will give you an idea as to what i like. Viva la juicy, Britney Spears Fantasy, Noir Tease, and now...Incredible.
When i smelt this in the store, i HAD to have it. i covered myself in the body mist, but bought the EDP. I was addicted to the smell alllll day. Today, i wore the EDP and it has lasted 7 hours so far, and still going strong. I love the initial top notes, and to me it smells best when it first goes on. 7 hours later, and its starting to smell more musky (a nice musk though). I put my jacket on this morning and could still smell the body mist that i sprayed in the store, and that would have been 14 hours ago...so i might have to agree with the other post when they said that the Mist is the way to go, because it definitely lasts a long time, and you get way more for a cheaper price.
the packaging is very cute, but the lid is a little hard to get back on and i ended up spraying it all over my hand (could just be me being a klutz, thats all!)
Overall, i love it :) definitely worth checking out.

I love this scent the perfume smells wonderful and really lasts. The body mist and lotion not so much. They still smell good but are way to faint to smell the fragrance. But I would buy the perfume

We stayed in the couples dorm room. Not so happy about the fact that one window was missing and the bed was not so clean and comfortable. The hostel itself is alright. The backyard area is very pretty and nice with the waterfall and the hammocks. Cleanliness could be improved. Ok for one night.

"Audio output device not installed", code 10, presario v3020US problem
Hello all!
So, I've just installed a fresh version of Windows 7, coming from Ubuntu 10.04. Everything seems to work smoothly, except for the little problem of having NO SOUND! I've tried everything I can think of or find anywhere on the internet, and nothing seems to be making any difference. The sound symbol on my taskbar has a little red circle with an x, and it states "No audio output device is installed". I've downloaded oodles of drivers (realtek, ones from HP, chipset driver for intel as well as the nvidia one, ricoh card reader driver, etc., all 32bit, which is what my win version is); some will install, some come up with errors, but neither seem to make any changes. Through device manager, I've disabled/enabled, uninstalled, deleted, had it check for drivers. I've used windows update to see if perhaps it had any solutions. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any advice/ideas I could try? If you do, please use layman's terms to get there. I'm usually very good at troubleshooting, enough to get by with few problems most of the time, but I'm not up on all the technical terms. I can include screenshots of anything if it would help. I am on a Compaq Presario V3020US notebook, with an intel centrino duo processor. I'm not completely sure of other specs, but if you know where I can find them, I shall look there. ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! ~Asteria |
My System Specs |
11 Nov 2010 | #2 |
I notice you mention the chipset drivers. In most cases the chipset drivers must be installed before installing sound drivers. If you haven't installed in this order, give it a try. I've also seen cases where the install was not initially done with the correct install sequence and after many different tries, it finally will take a new/correct sequence install to get everything working. On many PC's the correct install sequence is (1) Install Windows (2) Install motherboard chipset drivers (3) Install device drivers including video, sound, ethernet, etc. The chipset drivers are key to a successful install as one of the prime things they do is define (identify) all the devices on the motherboard.
Also, it could be a BIOS problem. Make sure the audio is enabled in the BIOS. You may want to reset the BIOS and see what that does. Check the Compaq BIOS resetting procedure (on most desktops you can just Power off the PC and remove the CMOS backup battery for about 10 minutes, but that's not alway easy on a Laptop). |

Men's College Basketball: South Suburban defeat McHenry County in Region IV quarterfinal
By Steve Millar For Sun-Times Media February 27, 2014 10:00PM
Updated: April 1, 2014 10:21AM
South Suburban blew out McHenry County by 24 points in the teams' lone regular-season meeting. Thursday night's playoff match-up brought a similar final score, but was by no means easy for the Bulldogs.
No. 7 seed McHenry used a 17-3 surge midway through the second half to pull to within one point, but second-seeded South Suburban made all the big plays late to pull away for an 87-65 NJCAA Division II Region IV quarterfinal in South Holland.
"It's always good to get the first playoff win out of the way," South Suburban's Antonio Levy said. "It wasn't easy for us. It's good to get a test and get used to how the playoffs are going to be."
Levy (Thornton) and Anthony Strickland each scored 20 points to lead South Suburban (26-5), which will meet Oakton in a semifinal at 4 p.m. Sunday at Illinois Valley.
McHenry (6-23) fought back into the game with long-range shooting as Demarcus Vines (20 points) hit two three-pointers and Danny Glick one in a 3½-minute span before Nick Malonga (19 points, 5 rebounds) converted a four-point play to cut South Suburban's lead to 49-48 with 12:17 to go.
Strickland, who's normally a starter but has slumped lately and came off the bench, helped provide the answer, scoring six points as the Bulldogs countered with a 14-5 surge.
"It's not all about starting," he said. "It's about how you finish. I just wanted to help the team win. We just had to keep our composure."
McHenry failed to keep its composure, getting hit with four technical fouls over the final 9:19 to help turn the game into a runaway.
The Bulldogs may have been in more trouble if McHenry didn't struggle mightily at the free-throw line, finishing just 18-of-34.
Korbin McClain had 14 points for the Bulldogs. Lavell Boyd added nine points and six rebounds, and Marius Hopkins (Crete-Monee) eight points.
"You can throw all the records out when the playoffs start," South Suburban coach John Pigatti said. "They came in and shot well.
"(Strickland) has been through the national tournament. His experience really showed and was big for us."

Makes 32
- 2/3 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons stick margarine, room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (about 2 ounces)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
Mix cheese and 2/3 cup margarine in medium bowl. Stir in flour. Knead in bowl until dough is smooth, about 1 minute. Divide dough into 2 balls. Flatten into disks. Wrap each in plastic; freeze until firm enough to roll, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, vanilla and 3 tablespoons margarine in processor. Blend until almost smooth paste forms.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 10-inch round. Spread half of brown sugar mixture evenly over. Cut round into 16 wedges. Starting at wide ends, roll up wedges. Bend ends in, forming crescents. Place on ungreased heavy baking sheet. Repeat rolling, filling and shaping with remaining dough disk.
Beat egg and milk to blend in small bowl. Brush glaze over crescents. Bake until cooked through and light brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

Another Thanksgiving over:( I had a great time relaxing in Maryland!! It was chilly though – I lasted about 15 minutes playing cornhole on Thanksgiving day, and then snuggled under a blanket until dinner.
I'm not very good anyway…
I'm obsessed with this new eggplant dip I found at WF. It's tangy and sooo good with sweet potato chips.
I made Kath's pumpkin meatloaf this week! Yes, it's ugly, but that's because I made a one-person portion [excuses] and just kinda formed it in one corner of the loaf pan. The upside was that all the sides were crunchy end pieces. I also added bourbon in place of the water in the sauce:)
I loved the pumpkin sauce so much that I made a lighter version with crushed tomatoes the next day! It's funny that I hate tomato sauce and love bbq sauce. Aka, I love sugar.
I finally got to try one of Chef Stephan Pyles' famous restaurants on a lunch date today. The place was swanky and packed with business people. I had the most amazing dish: wood-fired chicken with sun-dried tomato-bacon chutney, avocado fries, and grilled romaine hearts. The avocado fries were giant chunks of breaded, warm avocado. Mmmm.
Though it was 90 degrees outside today (which actually felt quite nice), I had the urge to bake and really wanted pumpkin. I followed this recipe for no-bake pumpkin oatmeal cookies. The dough is incredible! But then I got sad that I couldn't eat one hot out of the oven, so I decided to bake them. I added an egg and 1/4 tsp baking powder and also threw in some cranberries. They are more like mini muffin clusters than cookies, but they hit the spot.
Soo close to another weekend! See ya.
Read MoreIsland Feast
We're having an amazing time here on the island. It's chilly, but the clear blue sunny skies make up for it.
A margarita kicked off the vacation and then we spent most of Wednesday afternoon catching up and showing Matt's family around the island.
Thoughts from a Tuesday
- I saw Argo on Sunday and really enjoyed it. And I loved Ben's new look:)
- I heart America!
- I need a weekly show [not House Hunters]
- Found this in the grocery store…a little different but so tasty with pita chips:
- After all the talk of tea in the comments [thanks guys!}, I had a hot cup of peppermint this afternoon! I have kind of a big problem with hydration and tea helps with that too
- There's something very attractive about white haired men…
- I know there are tons of hurricane Sandy fundraisers/donation options out there, but consider donating something from this Amazon wish list for students at a Monmouth Beach, NJ school that's expected to be closed for 5+ weeks due to damage. Reader Lindsay grew up in Monmouth Beach and went through a similar experience when the school was flooded from a storm back in '92 – she and her fellow classmates organized the wish list as they were in the very same situation 20 years ago.
- Thanks for reading even when my content is boring:)
Soup's On
Gloomy, rainy days sure go well with Mondays. But at least something exciting happens this week!
I had a training that started a little later this morning, so I knocked out a workout at the Y. It was great because after work I definitely didn't want to go out in the rain. The afternoon kind of dragged on, and so I was quite excited to get to go home to complete free time. I made by first batch of pumpkin oats for tomorrow's breakfast. I tried to delay opening a can as long as possible, because last year, I was hooked on pumpkin oats until MAY!
And I made soup. I bought some chicken drumsticks and went ahead and boiled the chicken for shredding, so it would be all ready to go into this mix by dinner time. I can't remember exactly where I got this – maybe a Great Harvest Bakery gift from my mom?
Anyway, it was super quick and made a ton of soup for the week. And I loved how chunky it was with all that chicken.
I think our little party at the lake made me extra tired today – who gets sleepy at 7 pm?
I've noticed that since living in Atlanta this summer (where I had no cable or basic/local channels), I'm much less interested in TV at night. Part of this is just because I find the internet more stimulating and staring at the TV has actually become boring. Sometimes I do wish I could just settle down and enjoy a show without any distractions – I do find it more relaxing than being on the internet because it's less interactive. But the most relaxing night time activity for me is reading. I rarely make it through more than a chapter, but I know it helps me unwind and get sleepy. To the point that I never finish any books! But, I am planning to get in bed and finish my book right this minute. I'm looking forward to starting a new one – maybe State of Wonder? Not sure what it's about, but it's been on my side table for a while.

News from Tom Ford for Fall/Winter 2012
The announcement of the launch of a Special Edition vision collection by the brand
Inspired by the timeless elegance of Fifties eyewear, Tom Ford has created a new frame for women (5257) and one for men (5260) in gold-plated metal of refined quality and with a front and temples in precious Indian buffalo horn.
Influenced by a retro style, these frames represent the highest levels of eyewear design and craftsmanship. Without being excessively luxurious, they are meticulously crafted in two styles that are among the most refined with the Tom Ford label.
The frame and relevant leather case are presented in luxurious beige colored Bakelite packaging. A certificate of authenticity comes with a special cream and a chamois leather cloth to care for the Indian buffalo horn, which may be slightly different in each frame because of its organic origin.
The Special Edition frame for women evokes its Fifties roots in the well-defined lines of the bridge. This is balanced by slender and elegant metal temples decorated with a small "T", a characteristic of Tom Ford eyewear. The frame comes in yellow gold-plated metal with brown and gray striped horn (color 032) or in yellow gold-plated metal with white and gray striped horn (028).
The temples of the frame for men are slightly chunkier. The frame comes in white gold-plated metal with brown and gray striped horn (18A) or in yellow gold-plated metal with black striped horn (032).

I'm posting it here sense this forum looks pretty active and I'm hoping someone here can help me. Here's my question... I need to put click-able links to my plant photos on my trade page. But I can't figure out how to do it?
Thank you. Joy NOTES: Has instructions for making a clicking link to a page for photos

RECIPE: Anyone remember this? Russian Cream
posted by: Ginger_St_Thomas on 09.02.2003 at 06:18 pm in Dessert Exchange Forum I'd forgotten all about this one. I use to make it all the time around 15-20 years ago. First time I served it at a dinner party, one wag said "Oh good, a bowl of lard." He sure ate all of it though.
RUSSIAN CREAM (serves 8)
In a small saucepan over medium high heat combine cream & sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
NOTES: Will try for this Christmas 2007

RE: RECIPE: favorite lemon dishes (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: dishesdone on 02.27.2005 at 02:48 pm in Recipe Exchange Forum Great thread, San! here's some of our favorites -
Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken - Pollo al Limone 2 3-pound broiling chickens, halved To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces). Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches. Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute. Remove from broiler and portion each chicken onto each of 6 warm serving plates. Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce. Directions for Lemon Sauce Rao's Cookbook: Over 100 Years of Italian Home Cooking NOTES : 3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth Combine first 3 ingredients. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter with oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. While butter melts, sprinkle fish filIets with salt and black pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge fillets in flour; shake off excess flour. Increase heat to medium-high; heat 2 minutes or until butter turns golden brown. Add fillets to pan; saute 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fillets from pan. Add broth mixture to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in two teaspoons of butter with a whisk. Serve sauce over fillets. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Cooking Light - March 2004 NOTES : For the Crust: For the Filling: FOR
THE CRUST: In a food processor, grind the walnuts to a fine grind. You
should have about 1/2 cup. Using an electric mixer with the paddle
attachment, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar at high speed
until light and fluffy. Add the egg; mix to combine. Lower the speed to
slow and add the flour, mixing until barely combined. Add the walnuts
and continue mixing, scraping the sides of the bowl, until the dough
comes together. Divide the dough. Wrap the half you'll be using in
plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Wrap the
other half well in plastic and then in foil and freeze for future use. FOR THE FILLING: Heat
the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the
sugar and whisk until just combined. Add the lemon juice and cream and
whisk until just combined. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer
and pour into the prepared pie crust. NOTES : A light and bright lemon tart ends the meal on a perfect note. A crust made with ground walnuts and a silky smooth, tangy filling make every mouthful of tart deliciously interesting. The recipe yields enough dough to make two crusts. You can freeze the extra raw dough, well wrapped, for up to two months. Here is a link that might be useful: lemon custard cakes thread (Dessert Exchange) NOTES: <none>

know what recipes you like that feature lemon! here are a couple of our

St. Helena
Beringer Vineyards
St. Helena, CA, 94574, United States
Reminiscent of a castle, the Beringer estate is the oldest operating winery in Napa, having produced sacramental wine during Prohibition. Founded by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer in 1876, the winery still retains its hand-chiseled rock tunnels for cellaring, and the Rhine house, which is filled with Belgian art-noveau furniture made from oak and walnut trees. Open daily, the facility can be toured in guided groups. Visitors can then taste limited-production wines in the Rhine house, while most of the current releases can be sampled in the original winery. A culinary arts center is also housed on the property.

Civil unions bill likely two weeks from becoming signed into law
Bill poised to pass two House committees this week
DENVER - The civil unions bill in Colorado will likely land on the governor's desk by the end of next week.
The bill is expected to pass two House committees this week, and the entire House next week.
With Democrats in control, same-sex couples statewide are collectively ready to celebrate.
"We met here in Colorado and decided to build a life together here," said Jason Cobb, who lives with his partner of 15 years, Jason Prussman, in Denver with their 6-year-old adopted son, Jacobb, whom they have raised since birth.
"Our family makes perfect sense to our son," said Cobb.
But although Jason and Jason's relationship is recognized in California, where they were married in San Francisco in 2008, it isn't recognized here.
"It feels more overdue than anything," said Prussman. "It's exciting to see things catch-up to us, I guess. I'm surprised it has taken so long."
If the civil unions bill passes, these dads say it will offer immediate protections for them and Jacobb.
"We took him to an urgent care once, and we couldn't get him checked in because they didn't know how to put two dads into the computer system," said Cobb. "The nurse insisted on listing a mom. I finally told her to just put me down as the mom."
"We are looking forward to a day when people don't panic when, you know, a different dad shows up to pick-up a kid at school," said Cobb.
The bill is sailing through the Democratic controlled legislature this year, even though it still has its detractors.
"Relationships like ours exist," said Prussman. "They're stable."
"We still get some looks in restaurants," he said. "People are like, 'Who are those two men with that child?'"
It's a family much like many other families, with a few differences.
"(Jacobb) definitely doesn't get in as much trouble as his friends do for leaving the seat up," said Cobb. "It's a life with style, more than a lifestyle."
If the bill passes, it will apply to all Coloradans, including heterosexual couples.
The language actually reads, "two unmarried adults, regardless of gender, (can) enter into a civil union."
The bill will become state law on May 1, if passed.

Okay, so last year I was busy with my own version of "this old house" and neglected to learn how to care for all my little seedlings and inadvertently ended up giving a smorgish board to the slugs, grubs and local squirrels.ARGGGGG! This year I am better informed and ready for war to keep my many seedlings alive! so my questions is, what are your methods of protecting the little plants till they are a little bigger and able to withstand some nibbling and do black mondo grass seedlings come up green and turn black as they get older or are they black from sprouts?? I can't find any in depth information on black mondo grass anywhere. I know that most seeds do not come true from seed but I would like to know at what point they turn black!!
Thanks to all!! Can't wait to finally meet you all at this years spring swap |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Cat, with the very rainy and cool weather we had last Spring/early summer, the slugs went nuts on my seedlings and some young plants. I have never lost seedlings to squirrels though? What seems to work pretty well for me, is to pull back any mulch from the seedlings, and then apply Sluggo or Escargo to the area every couple weeks. These are iron phosphate slug baits that are safe for wildlife, pets, kids, etc. Mindy from the Arbo-retum has reported that an ammonia solution works well too. Re: the Black mondo grass - have not started this one from seed personally, but since it is a cultivar, my guess is that it is unlikely to come true from seed. |
- Posted by cat_delgado 6 - Ansonia, CT (My Page) on Tue, Feb 2, 10 at 11:09
Thanks Terrene, I have heard about sluggo and escargo but I can't find it any of the local stores. Where can I buy it and when is the best time to start applying it? March? April? when do the little beasties start to rise from their graves? :) oh yes, I know that mondo grass isn't true from seed, I just wanted to know when they sprout what to look for. I plan on giving away the extra and don't want to give away black ones if they turn color as they mature. thanks! |
I am guessing you may a pioneer grower of black mondo grass in the New England forum group. I can't get it to return in my yard, and I am guessing that only people in the warmest parts of New England can grow it. Therefore the pool of New Englanders who might be adventurious enough to try this is small. If you don't get an answer you might try posting to another forum where it would be see by more people from warmer zones. Otherwise maybe black mondo grass is just another one of those mystery plants I can't grow. But I think it is a zone issue. |
I can't say anything about black mondo grass coming from seed, but the ones that replicate themselves through runners in my garden come up black from the first little nub I see. I'm in zone 6b and my grass is happy and spreading after two winters. Here is a picture from last summer.
I just went out now and counted at least 10 little babies, all completely black. Lisa |
- Posted by cat_delgado 6 - Ansonia, CT (My Page) on Tue, Feb 2, 10 at 15:55
Wow, thanks, beautiful picture. I can't wait to have some of my own, hopefully I won't kill it all in my nieveness. I was actually able to find on another forum that when started from seed they come up green and turn black with maturity. I've actually gone seed crazy again this year so hopefully I'll be able to see a few take root and grow up before the slime monsters come out. Uh, should I start killing in March or when is the right time to start watching for them? |
I've purchased Escargo from Gardens Alive (mail-order company of organic products) and bought Sluggo at the local Mahoney's nursery. They both seemed to work equally well. There is a new Escargo that they claim lasts for 4 weeks. I spread the slug bait when planting out the seedlings, and reapply every couple weeks or after a hard rain. Once the plants get large enough, they suffer much less from a little slug damage, but the little seedlings can get wiped out really easily. |

You definitely want to harden off your seedlings before planting them out - they're tougher and less tasty after being *slowly* given more wind and sun. Seedlings are difficult, some of us lazy gardeners (or those who don't have good indoor growing conditions) have resorted to purchasing seedlings at local nurseries in early spring - much easier! Not to say that seedlings aren't fun, of course they are, and when they survive they give you a great sense of accomplishment. I start spreading escar go or sluggo when I first see signs of damage, usually after a nice warm spring rain. Hostas make great "coal mine canaries" because the slugs will attack those first (unless there are delectable tender seedlings available!) |

Wow, Lisa, I'm amazed - I'm sure I've tried Black Mondo in the past, and never had it do well in my garden. It's a great plant, and it's really encouraging to see that it can actually grow here. Maybe I'll give it another try this year... |
Dtd Here they are from a couple of weeks ago. You can see all the babies from the one original plant. I don't know why they are happy, but they are. I can bring some babies to the spring swap if you want. I didn't realize people had trouble with them. Lisa

It's been on the market for almost 2 years, and we'd had only 1 showing exactly a year ago. Well, those same people who looked at it last December came back to look at the house again this week, and gave us a full price offer..which we accepted, of course!! Our new house will be done May 1, so the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Whew! |
Follow-Up Postings:
WOW, what a great Christmas present...Hard to believe the same "lookers" from a year ago came back and offered full price...Congrats.. |
Whoop-ee! When do you close? |
The "lookers" must have learned that your place had the least negatives and the fairest price. One year of looking is not bad,, I'm at year 4...too fussy, too tight... |

The offer to purchase states we will close by February 1. They agree to let us rent back until we move into the new house. Yes, absolutely the best Christmas present. We are very lucky, but they are getting a great house! |
Joyce, is it fair for me to assume your price had been reduced from when your buyers first saw it a year ago? |
"Joyce, is it fair for me to assume your price had been reduced from when your buyers first saw it a year ago?" Good question. |
WOW...I'd really love to get that for my Christmas gift! Congrats...and I hope everything goes through for you and you can move into your new home soon. (keeping fingers crossed for the rest of you--and me-- who have your house on the market!) |

Yes, we did reduce our price about a year ago. DH and I didn't agree with the original asking price which I thought too high. I think it sold at a fair price, and we are able to put a nice chunk of change in our pocket. Very good way to start the new year. |
