Online and mobile media company InfoSpace presents at Internet World 2006
InfoSpace's Dominic Trigg guest speaks at Internet World 2006 – Trigg explains how to boost revenue and increase loyalty by integrating search across Web sites
Online and Mobile Media Company InfoSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSP) http://www.infospaceinc.com is to present at Internet World 2006 on how to increase revenue through search.
Dominic Trigg, vice president of Search & Directory for InfoSpace Europe, will be giving a presentation on 10 May 2006 at Internet World from 16.00-16.30 entitled, 'Increasing Loyalty and Revenue on High Traffic Web Sites by Integrating Private Label Search'.
"So much emphasis is placed on having a brand listed or positioned in search engines and driving traffic to Web sites, but what happens when visitors arrive? We will be sharing how metasearch and private label services can increase revenue and profits for brands. We will also be discussing how brands can provide superior customer experience by looking after users whilst they are on their sites," explains Trigg.
InfoSpace's online services leverage the company's proprietary metasearch technology, which fetches highly relevant results from all the major search engines, including Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and more than 10 other engines, and delivers them to users on one site. InfoSpace provides its metasearch service as a private-label offering for many world-class companies and brands, including ABC News and Cablevision, enabling them to connect directly with their online audiences.
"InfoSpace products and services include powering search boxes and enabling users to download RSS-enabled search toolbars for promotion and distribution across large and networked sites. Metasearch delivers a greater positive return for Web sites or groups of sites, whilst allowing users greater freedom to enjoy and interact with a brand and find the information they seek. We are immersed in the golden age of search, but now is the time to realise its potential through greater usability and customer experience. At Internet World 2006, we'll explain how," concludes Trigg.
InfoSpace is also exhibiting at this event at stand W486 from 9-11 May 2006, Earls Court 2, London.

About Us
Madison Rising, America's most patriotic rock band, is on a mission to reignite authentic American culture through great rock music.
Since the release of their first album in 2011, the band has worked tirelessly to create an entirely new genre of music – patriotic rock. Combining a brilliant classic rock sound with inspirational tributes to our men and women in uniform, it is clear that this band is on a mission to not only make great music, but to also send a message that American culture is alive and well.
Their new album - American Hero - is respectfully dedicated to the men and women of our armed forces, along with the police, firefighters and other first responders whose sacrifice and selfless dedication to the service of this country, at home and abroad, help this great nation to remain the land of the free and the home of the brave. Madison Rising promotes the principles of liberty, independence, smaller government and personal responsibility.
Lead Vocalist - Dave Bray: Dave's first recollection and connection to music came from seeing Gary Numan doing 'Cars' on 'Top of the Pops'. His love of music however, began while sitting with his mother and singing folk songs while she played the guitar. He would later join the church choir. After a few years, he finally found his home as a "front man" as he and his first band rehearsed for a high school talent show. Dave's dream was short lived. He had already enlisted in the US NAVY and would leave for basic not long after graduation.
A dedicated leader and patriot, Dave was a Recruit Chief Petty Officer in basic training, a Master at Arms in A-school, and was awarded the honor of Top Dog in Field Medical Service School. He would finally serve in the U.S. Navy as an 8404 FMF Corpsman for the 2nd Battalion / 2nd Marines stationed out of Camp Lejeune NC.
Dave's voice is most often described as a passionate but soft roar, controlled and melodic, teetering on the edge of detonation. A true showman, Dave puts his heart and soul into every performance and has been captivating audiences with his "blood, sweat and tears style" performances for years.
"It is my firm belief that without God there is no country...Madison Rising, for me, is truly a call back to service...a service that our country needs, in a war that our country doesn't even know exists." - Dave
Drummer - Sam Fishman: Sammy "Bones" Jones has been hitting the skins since third grade. He may seem innocent and well mannered but behind the drums he is a possessed man.
Madison Rising is the true calling for Sammy. He is a patriot, hard worker, and loyal friend/musician. Sammy is a graduate from the University of Rochester/Eastman School of Music and lives in NJ. Some of Sam's favorite bands include Mastodon, Deftones, and Porcupine Tree.
"Being the drummer for Madison Rising has been a higher calling. It's bigger than all of us. This is an opportunity to create music with a message that America needs to hear right now!" - Sam
Sammy is single. It's true.
Guitar - AJ Larsen:
AJ Larsen grew up in rural Pennsylvania after moving from NJ at the age of 5.At the age of 6 he got his first guitar and started taking lessons with Vince Delsol. Listening and playing music from bands like Metallica, Joe Satriani and Story of the Year he has crafted his own style and sound. He is a seasoned guitarist with 21 years experience, both on the road and in the studio."It's all about playing clean and in time" is the moto AJ lives by. Like most musicians, AJ got his start playing in local bands and soon found himself playing with Don't Panic (Masquerade Records) - sharing the stage with The Ataris, Trust Company, Jealousy Curve, and joining The Vans Warped Tour.
AJ plays Paul Reed Smith guitars and Mesa Boogie amps. He loves the guitar but also has in depth knowledge and passion for studio recording, both in playing in the studio as well as engineering/mixing. Larsen joined Madison Rising in the fall of 2013 and brought with him thick, rich tones along with the melodic attack the band wanted to complete their sound. His great attitude, strong guitar work, and funny guy persona are the perfect fit! When AJ isn't on the road you can find him in The Pocono's relaxing.
Bassist - Tom DiPietro:
Tom's lifelong passion for and commitment to music was first developed in his elementary school years in Queens, NY where he became obsessed with acquiring rock albums from the local record store and scouring through mail-order musical catalogues.
At 8 years old, the bare-bones, punk oriented bass lines of Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt and the groove laden finger funk of 311 bassist P-nut had already solidified his appreciation for the bass guitar in rock music. His musical journey was further developed from a more academic standpoint when he moved to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and started to play the String Bass in the 5th grade performing in a multitude of orchestra, concert band and jazz band ensembles. In high school, Tom began playing the electric bass and formed his first rock band with future Madison Rising Guitarist AJ Larsen. During his college years and into his adult life, Tom continued playing in bands that ran the gamut from hard and heavy rock to funk and rhythm and blues.
Tom is a devout follower of music genres ranging from heavy metal through progressive rock. Tom is truly blessed to be a part of the Madison Rising family. His deep appreciation for the American dream was further cultivated when he spent years working as a support staffer for troubled youth in public schools. In the classroom, Tom helped youngsters to realize the wealth of opportunity that is waiting for responsible, hard working citizens in this country, and that education and positive moral values should be instilled in our youngsters in order to preserve the ideals of this great country for generations to come.

While the budget amendment includes reductions, it keeps funding increases intact for key areas such as the Department of Children's Services and the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. The amendment proposal also preserves funding for the state's Basic Education Program's equity fund.
The revenue shortfall for the year reflects a dip in sales tax collections following a modest holiday sales season.
In addition, the state's franchise and excise taxes, which can fluctuate greatly from year to year, are down $215 million due to overpayments by businesses last year that are now resulting in credits and refunds.
Revisions to the governor's budget proposal include:
- Savings from automating TennCare's eligibility system, $6.5 million;
- Contract reductions to Families First vendors, $4.75 million;
- TennCare provider rate reduction, $18.5 million;
- Reducing next year's funding for higher education to the current funding level, eliminating proposed increase, $12.9 million; and
n Reducing proposed funding for the Rainy Day Fund by $4.8 million, while still preserving an investment of $35.5 million and bringing the state's savings account total to $491.5 million.
The governor's amendment eliminates a proposed increase to health insurance premiums for state employees and teachers to provide them some compensation.
Haslam presented his original budget proposal to the House on Feb. 3. It was based on revenue collections from November 2013 and was put together in mid-December when Tennessee budgets are historically done.
Over the next several weeks, House lawmakers will continue working with the governor's office to pass a conservative, lean budget that preserves and protects those services Tennesseans depend on across the state.
Unemployment insurance
reform bill moves forward
in Tennessee House
House Bill 1386, legislation designed to help attract new businesses to the state and save tens of thousands of dollars once businesses relocate here, passed the full House of Representatives last week with overwhelming support from state lawmakers.
The bill currently awaits action by the state Senate before heading to the governor for final signature.
Under present law, workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own are provided weekly unemployment insurance payments. These payments are funded by employers who pay taxes on the wages paid to employees. The tax rate that employers must pay is based on whether they are a new employer or an experience-rated employer. New companies locating to the state must currently pay a higher rate because they have no prior experience in Tennessee.
House Bill 1386 allows new companies coming to Tennessee to base their unemployment insurance premiums on the past history of the state they are relocating from, saving thousands of dollars for the company. Proponents of the legislation believe this change in the unemployment insurance law will help recruit an additional five manufacturers to the state each year.
Legislation forever ending
forced annexations
in state passes House
Landmark legislation designed to reform Tennessee's outdated annexation laws passed the Tennessee House of Representatives last Monday on an 85-4 vote.
As passed, the bill ends a 60-year-old law which allows municipalities across Tennessee the ability to annex private property without the consent of the property owners themselves.
Having already passed in the state Senate, the bill now travels to the desk of the governor to be signed into law. Once signed, future annexations in the state can only occur through a referendum vote by the property owners who would be affected by the annexation proposal.
For years, legislators have been trying to change Tennessee's abusive and antiquated annexation laws. With the passage of House Bill 2371, this year's legislators become the first lawmakers in decades to achieve substantial annexation reform for the state.
Anti-Meth legislation wins
approval in House group
Legislation aimed at combating the illegal manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine in Tennessee has moved forward after receiving a positive nod from the House Health Committee.
House Bill 1574, the Tennessee Anti-Meth Production Act, cuts the amount of pseudoephedrine that can be bought in Tennessee from the current limit of 9 grams a month to 5.76 grams, which is equivalent to 24 days of self-medicating treatment, in a month's time. The legislation also sets an annual limit on pseudoephedrine purchases of 28.8 grams without a doctor's prescription.
In addition, the bill targets the activities of "smurfers" who buy pseudoephedrine from a variety of stores in small quantities and in turn supply illegal meth manufacturers with enough product to create the drug.
Currently, Tennessee ranks second in the nation, behind Indiana, in meth lab seizures last year. In 2013 alone, 266 children were removed by the Department of Children's Services from homes due to meth-related incidents at an estimated cost of more than $7 million. Additionally, the state spends approximately $2 million annually on meth lab clean-up, and in 2013, 1,691 labs were seized in Tennessee. This is in addition to tens of millions of dollars in TennCare costs associated with meth lab burns.
The legislation is set to be heard by the full House of Representatives later this week.
Healthcare Consumer Bill
for more transparency
of insurance authorization
receives approval In House
Legislation providing consumers with greater transparency regarding insurance preauthorization requests passed the full House of Representatives last week.
As many across the state have experienced, dealing with an injury or illness is stressful for the patient as well as the family. When an insurance carrier denies payment for a medical procedure or therapy that has been requested to be performed by the treating physician, it places additional stress and can even precipitate a crisis situation.
To aid such situations, House Bill 926 establishes a set of evidence-based rules based on nationally recognized protocol standards so everyone understands what is required when a procedure is recommended.
The bill amends the state's "Utilization Review Act" by requiring that healthcare insurers, or third-party payers, publish or post on the Internet the non-proprietary portion of the standards so physicians can know the rules of the game beforehand. In addition, it ensures that the utilization review is done by a physician knowledgeable about the procedure, rather than an insurance administrator who does not have medical training or expertise in the procedure that has been requested.
(Editor's Note: This legislative update has been provided by state Rep. Kevin Brooks, R-Cleveland who represents the 24th Legislative District, and state Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland who represents the 22nd Legislative District.)

Life is no longer about working to make money to buy "stuff." It is about making the best decisions possible together to make systems work better, so we can enjoy our time together.
100 years from now we'll be intrinsically connected to each other and technology.
We will have evolved beyond Capitalism and Consumerism. There will be no monetary system. No one charges for anything, we don't pay or get paid for anything. Life is no longer about working to make money to buy "stuff." It is about making the best decisions possible together to make systems work better, so we can enjoy our time together. We are a Humanist society.
We print our food, products and clothing at home. Robots undertake all physical work to allow us time for Free Thinking and Play.
The need to control technological devices physically will have long ceased. Our personal computer will be exactly that – implanted into our brains. No need for a smart phone, Sat-Nav or laptop – our on-board computer does everything. This will also facilitate huge advances in Augmented Reality, allowing the physical world to be visually scanned and digital displays of detailed information about people, products and buildings to be superimposed by our "Minds-Eye." All that we see and experience is recorded and saved – then simply select a time/date for total recall of past events and freeze-frame scenes, even project this 3D Moment for other people to see and walk around.
There is no need to sit at a desk all day typing on a keyboard. We simply sit in a quiet, relaxed, meditative state and mentally compose our messages for recipients to read and reply to. We can connect to colleagues and friends via Aided Telepathy and chat together in virtual Think Sessions.
The old saying "I could do that in my sleep" finally becomes a reality as we split our night's sleep into levels of Focused Dreaming and Recreational Dreaming. At the Focused Dreaming level, many communication tasks can be completed including report and email writing, designing and planning. This frees us up during our waking work hours to meet colleagues for relaxed and enjoyable real life Think Sessions. We have no offices. We "come together" in stimulating or relaxing spaces to truly interact – this is what the word "company" now means; being in each other's company and seeking improvement for all through our decision making. We are all inventors, designers, policymakers and guardians of the law (although crime is rare).
Public transport finally rules the day and comes in the form of self-driving pods that deliver us to our chosen destination safely and on time. Sit back, chat, enjoy the scenery, have a nap, sift through your Aided Telepathy emails or print a snack. All methods of travel create rather than use energy. And every movement we make personally creates energy that is channeled and stored.
Sickness is eradicated. When we begin to get ill our on-board computer picks up on the change to our system and immediately dispenses drugs stored internally. Replacement organs are printed and incredible advances in Synthetic Biology means life expectancy is 100+ years for everyone. Welcome to the future!

Much was made during last night's Blue Jays/Rays game over Joe Maddon's decision to put four left-handed batters into his lineup against the left-handed throwing Ricky Romero. Maddon added before the game that he "would have used nine lefties" if he had them.
This approach, dubbed "the Danks Theory" by Rays bloggers, is not new. The Rays have done it for years against changeup artists like Rickey Romero, Jon Danks, and Shaun Marcum. Using same-handed hitters against lefty pitchers goes against traditional baseball orthodoxy but it does, in theory, take away the best weapon of changeup pitchers like Romero (changeups are traditionally not thrown in these match-ups.)
Ricky Romero doesn't care why the Rays stack their lineup with lefties, nor does he care that they do it. He said just as much to the assembled reporters last night after leading the Blue Jays over the Rays, pitching 6 innings en route to a 7-3 Jays win.
When a reported attempted baiting Romero into offering a pointed comment towards the Rays manager, Romero made it clear the machinations of Overmanagin' Joe Maddon have no impact on him whatsoever. Via the National Post:
"I really don't care what he has to say or what his mindset is against me," Romero said. "If he has nine lefties against me, I'll find a way to win. That's just the bottom line."
And find a way to win, he did. Well, the team won the game. Ricky did his part, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings.
The strategic lefties managed to go 5-11 against Romero, according DRays Bay. The Rays blog notes that while Romero did shelf his changeup against the lefties, he did throw his curveball effectively enough to survive the barrage of right-brained thinkers.
We often hear about pitchers who embrace and dive deeply into the world of advanced stats and trends and the like. Ricky Romero's words indicate that isn't always the case, nor is it always in the best interests of the players. Romero isn't a marginal pitcher looking to get an edge that might keep him in the game, he is a talented pitcher with ability for days.
The vagaries of the Rays strategies aren't exactly his priority. Romero and his catcher/pitching coach formulate a plan of attack and try getting hitters out. That's it. That is all he should be concerned with. Like a blogger focussing too much on analytics and page views, Romero's focus must remain doing his best work all the time, attacking each batter and each situation with his very best offering.
With that in mind, please enjoy this slideshow of Ricky Romero and his ex-girlfriend, former Miss America Justin Beiber Hunger Games Dark Knight Rises Emma Watson iPhone5.

I am a novice trying to duplicate the texture of our beautiful beaten copper sink for a fridge panel. I have a 20 gauge copper sheet and bought some liver sulfur. But I have problems trying to beat the copper with a ball hammer. You all will understand right away that my copper becomes distorted as it becomes a little larger (locally) with each hammer strike. I did some more homework and learned that I need to anneal it when I am finished beating, but this is beyond my capability. Now I wonder if I can just buy a beaten copper sheet locally. Where would I look for this? I saw the recent thread about copper sheets, but did not see anything about beaten copper. (We live in the SF Bay area.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
The copper is beaten over end grain wood to develope the shape. You will only need to anneal it if it work hardens more than you want. If all you want is a flat panel the work hardening should not be a problem. |

Not to sure what exactly you need, but this I know, when copper gets hard from hammering and you want to soften it up, then heat it up to a dark red and quickly cool it in cold water. Konrad |

brickeyee, Could I use my Butcher block which is endgrain hardwood or would that be too hard? Konrad, My sheet is 3' x 4', so a bit large for heating evenly. I assume I would have to heat the whole thing at once. Is that right? |
Endgrain softwood is used if you want to develope a texture. If you do it on the butcher block, be prepared to replace or resurface it. Unless you ned to bend or form the sheet, you are not likely to need to anneal it. Work hardening of a sheet that will be used flat is not much of a problem. |

I found a large stump, borrowed a ball pin hammer and beat away. Alas, the texture is nothing like that on my copper sink. We figure it was not beaten. All the thin "walls" separating the dimples are the same width. The shapes of the dimples are not all the same. Some are elliptical, some almost hexagonal. When I beat copper with a hammer my dimples are all the same shape (round) and the walls separating them are random in their widths, depending on how the hammer fell. None are as thin as those I see on my sink. So what is up? Do professionals use some preformed pattern to press into the copper? |

A sheet that size, a bit larger for doing it at home for heat treating. You could have it done by a Heattreating Facility. In School, we made some cooper bowls, many years ago, I'm not to sure anymore what we used for, (behind) to beat on. I think it was lead or sand bag?? Konrad |
A ball pen produces a particular look. If it is not what you are looking for, you can try some other tools. The factory items are done with a planishing hammer (often compressed air powered) and a shapped face. A hardwood dowel can easily be shapped, then used with a deadblow hammer to create nearly any pattern you want. Use a deadblow to save your arm and shoulder if not using powered equipment. It also tends to give more control for a uniform result. |

that's "ball peen", in case you are using a search engine. Also, a factory "beating" would probably use a method that exactly spaces the blows, to get even dimpling. < from Merriam-Webster's: : a usually hemispherical or wedge-shaped end of the head of a hammer that is opposite the face and is used especially for bending, shaping, or cutting the material struck .> |

help...i had a local sheet metal guy make me a great copper surround for my new wood insert, but he laquered it first, and now with the heat, it is sticky and discolored...how, and what can I use/do to remove it..I don't mind it aging (like me) without the finish... |

Lacquer thinner will dissolve the old lacquer. You should really use it in a very well ventilated area since it is very flammable, and you want to avoid breathing to many of the fumes. They will give you a splitting headache and worse. |

I can go grab some seed. They are interesting large plants. Note that you can eat the very young leaf but once it begins to show any red color on the stem it will poison ya!!! I have it growing wild and leave it be since I like the plant itself not for the food potentials.

I am looking to buy some hanging baskets for the front of my house.
I see these nice hangers that have the coco liner in them and I don't know what they are for? what is the purpose of these liners as opposed to having a regular planter? When I buy my pre-made hanging floral basket do I just replant it in the coco liner? Do these liners help with moisture retention? Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
When you have a wire basket, the coco liners hold the dirt in. I have hayrack planters hanging from my deck railings with coco liners. Look at the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: coco liners
The cocoa liners don't help with moisture retention at all. A regular planter is solid and as dlm2000 said, wire type baskets need something to make sure the soil stays in. The difference between the two types is usually just a matter of taste and cost (plastic hangers are cheaper). |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 13:04
ummmm interesting - thanks everyone. Geez I don't know why but I really thought it helped with moisture retention - bummer it doesn't. That is always a complaint I had with hanging baskets is that I hated the daily watering and would often kill them after a couple of weeks as I would forget to water them! |
If anything, I think the natural material liners work against you with water retention-- they get dry and soak up moisture. I still like the look and use them at the back of my house though. |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 13:45
I learned an important lesson on the liners and using them w/ baskets and planters. I will share it with you ! Take heavy plastic bags..I save all of my potting soil and mulch bags. Cut the bag and line the cocoa liner with the plastic. There is no need to poke any holes in the bag either. Evaporation takes care of the moisture loss. You will only have to water your new baskets and window boxes about one time a week rather than daily. Also the added benefits are....moisture stays in, soil stays in and most important the fertizer you put in does not leach out at such a high rate so the plants stay really healthy and you save money. So there you go. It has saved me a bundle in time and money since I started doing this. c |
Actually you bring up a good idea, I don't know if it will work but chopped CoCo-Coconut Husk, are my favorite mulch. The string like fibers I'd guess would dry quickly, but the chunks actually drip water when squeezed. I'm going to mix some of my Block Mulch in with my potting soil plus gel and see if that holds water longer than without. Thanks for the idea! |
- Posted by cliff_and_joann (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 13:52
We have all wire baskets with the coco liners. They are several years old... We lined them with plastic on top of the coco liners, We pouched lots of holes in the plastic for water to escape. They do retain a lot of moisture that way. Our plants thrive in them. my favorite thing to plant in them is tuberous begonias. |
- Posted by sheesharee (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 13:56
Glad I'm reading this. I like the plastic bag tip. I've been considering hanging plants for my porch but know I wouldn't remember to water them all the time! |

Cliff and Joann Your patio is beautiful! Where do you find the wire baskets? |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 14:11
Coco has something in it that plants like. It is easier to root plants in coco than in rooting soil, or at least it has been for me. It is not a fertilizer but must have some kind of hormone, and must be in some respects similar to willow water. Coir is the best median for rooting plants, however, that I have ever tried. The only thing I found better was a mixture of coir medium, birth control pills and aspirin or willow water. |
- Posted by cliff_and_joann (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 14:58
They are sold all over, even Lowes and home depot. Another thing they are good for is planting in the flower beds for areas where you want a big splash of flowers in an area. They give the flowers height and the baskets disappear in the landscape. We also plant several that like a lot of sun and keep them in sunny areas and switch them off with the ones in the shady areas --when they look like they need a sunny fix...What I am trying to say is we switch them off if they look a little tired and place them in sunny locations. We constantly move them around. There is about 8 coconut baskets out there -- buried in the rocks. There are three coconut baskets surrounding the pooch... |
- Posted by newhomebuilder (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 15:22
Cute pooch and photo! I am glad that I saw this thread. I had just about decided that I would not use my wire baskets and coco liners on my screened-in porch this year. "What the heck are coco liners for?" They were for a pain in the rear end...that's what! Every time I watered, the water (and dirt) came right out and dribbled all over my porch floor, or anything else in it's path. I loved the looks, espeically on a porch, but the mess was too much. Now, I will try them one more year and use a plastic bag to line the coco. Thanks! |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 15:22
That is such a fantastic idea to line the pot with the higher gage plastic! Thanks so much. This will solve my problem with the water loss and I just love the look of the coco liners! Boy I love this forum! There is so much helpful advice. Yes Cliff and Joanne- those photos are just beautiful! |
- Posted by artlover13060 (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 15:38
Cliff and Joanne - first of all, your garden is just beautiful! I have a question about using the coco baskets in the landscape. Are you just using the liners or do they also have the wire frames around them? |
Cliff and Joanne, wow, your yard is heavenly! You must work your tails off, and you sure have a great design sense. |
- Posted by cliff_and_joann (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 17:06
Oceana, Cliff is a gardening nut, I get whatever I want in the house (I mean my way) but he tells me that outside he's the boss!... Artlover, We do both depending where they are placed. Some we just use the coconut fiber and place it between rocks, and some we use the wire basket and the fiber... The photo above with the pooch, it looks like the flowers to the right of the sundial are in the wire basket because of the height. In this photo some are in just coco fiber and some in the wire baskets...But they are all in baskets. Can you see the chipmonk stairing down the hound? He's leaning on a rock with one hand and looking at the hound!:) |
- Posted by newhomebuilder (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 18:09
I'm confused! Are the dogs real or fake? |
Well, heck! You mean I don't have to be a slave to my planters??? Joanne I could kiss you! I love my hayracks but they do require attention. This year I'm lining them before I plant. This was last summer and we were residing so just pretend the junk isn't on the deck! That chipmunk is too funny! My dog would never allow that -chipmunks are not allowed in *his* yard. Our neighbors complain because we have none - they've all gone next door! |
- Posted by cliff_and_joann (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 21:01
dlm, Just remember to poke a few small holes in the plastic, or the planters can get water logged. Some plants don't like continuous wet feet. Tuberous Begonias and geramiums are a couple of plants that come to mind that don't like wet feet. I also want to mention in the flower beds we don't line the coconut fibers with plastic, as we have a sprinkler system that waters the gardens every day. Another thing we do for plants that love wet feet and need to grow in water -- is bury large pots in the ground at ground level and plant water plants in them. Lotus, umbrella palm, and taro are good plants for this type of planting. newhomebuilder, The hounds are real :) The chipmonk |

I read on another forum, disposable diapers work well as liners. They soak up excess water and give it back to the plant avoiding the 'wet feet' problem. |
- Posted by cooperbailey (My Page) on Sat, May 9, 09 at 7:21
YAY! this year I will do this too! I have hay racks and hanging baskets with the liners in the back and they often got a little sad. I did plant the hanging ones last year! Thanks!! |
I got sidetracked with life stuff and haven't been back here in awhile and scrolling from the bottom of the topics, what do I see? A topic on Coco Liners! Last month I emptied all my wire planters (14 of them), shredded up and placed around in my gardens what was left of the very old (about 5 years) coco liners and went in search of new liners. After my initial sticker-shock for pre-made liners I looked for a suitable alternative. Not finding anything I liked as much as the Coco Liner, I started looking for it in rolls/bulk. Again, a bit of sticker shock but continued my search until I found a sale (Link for sale Bulk Roll of Coco Liner below). So any of you who don't want to spend a king's ransom on pre-formed liners, you might want to try buying the coco liner in bulk. And to add to the conversation, yes, I use large dark green plastic lawn bags.....one large bag, cut up to fit, will usually cover 5 or 6 wire baskets. Coco Liner, then Plastic with a few holes poked in the plastic using scissors, then the middle portion of a Huggies diaper (unused!) then my potting mix. Make sure to wet the Coco, the diaper and the soil very well before placing your plants in the basket. Even during our 100 degree hot spells during the summer I don't have to water my baskets when using plastic and diaper, but once every 5 or 6 days. Joann and DLM2000, |
Here is a link that might be useful: Roll of Coco Liner
My box of Coco Liner came in 4 days and it's sooo easy to work with, to cut, to shape. Not too thick, not too thin. And with the normal price of the Bulk Coco Liner being $79 to a sale price of $39 for as much liner as I got, I got a great deal! The last few days I've been outside cutting, fitting my baskets with liners, plastic, diapers and a potting mixture. Once I get them all done and my plants are settled in I will post a pic or link to pics. I can only hope my baskets look half as good as DLM's and Joann's! |
Fine Gardening had a tip last month: use burlap instead of the coco liner. I bought burlap (48" wide) for $2.99 a yard at Hobby Lobby and lined a standing planter that I used spagnum moss in last year. It doesn't look quite as "naturalistic" as the spagnum or coco liner, but I think when it ages out a bit, it will be very nice. . .and considerably cheaper!! |
- Posted by dilly_dally (My Page) on Sat, May 9, 09 at 12:42
Thanks for the burlap tip Cherigw! That is quite a bit cheaper than the coco and a great tip for someone who does not need a whole roll. I appreciate the tip from amity on buying a whole roll though. |
I buy the cocoa liner by the yard also. I have window boxes (not using this year) that we use the cocoa liners in and we cannot find a ready made liner to fit. I also have an old antique planter that we use the cocoa liner in - again have to cut to fit. I've never had a problem with it making a mess. We do also line with plastic and be sure to punch holes. Like joann said, you do not want plants to become waterlogged. I also use the liner in two baskets that hang on either side of our arbor. They look good and for whatever reason, the plants seem to do better with the liner. tina |
amity, what a great party website! Instead of doing all my chores, I got lost having so much fun exploring feathers, LEDs, ideas, and pictures. Thanks! |
trailrunner, you were the first to mention the plastic liner...thanks. Wish I'd done this before planting my cocoa baskets. Ladies, gorgeous garden/porch, plant, pooch pics! Love that diaper idea, too( and a Kotex would work as well, I suspect :>o).Lots of good tips. I may actually hang those ferns from my porch now that I can see they may not drip so messily. Neat. |

Coco fiber liners are shipped in from all over the world and can have herbicides and foreign bugs. A US company developed a product MagniMoist for lining wire baskets that works much better than coco or moss liners. The material holds in moisture and the results are stunning. Botanical gardens are starting to use MagniMoist rather than coco or moss because the results are great, the product is local and sustainable and it saves water. Search ' MagniMoist ' if you want more info. |

Why doesn't someone make the clear plastic liners to sit inside the window box/trough cocoa liners. I hate the looks of watering the half basket under my windows and having the dirt run down the side of the house. I like the look of the cocoa lines but please they are so pourius after two waterings. If someone know where I can get some please pass the info and thanks. |
This is a very intresting topic as I was thinking of co-co liner myself and not knowing much about it. Would it work with a Spider Plant also? I know they like it dry soil, would this be too much moisture for it? |
- Posted by alchemist_garden (My Page) on Mon, Apr 22, 13 at 11:52
Just wondering, why are coco discs used? |
"Hanging Plants : What the heck are coco liners for? " Collecting bugs. ewww |
I have been using the wire baskets with coco liners for lots of years because I like the look. However, I now buy the plastic hanging baskets, remove the wire hanger and plop them into the wire baskets. They look pretty and retain moisture better. I have gotten lazy and don't plant my own hanging baskets anymore. Still do my own containers and gardens which is plenty to keep me busy! |
coco liners are used so that you can fill the entire basket with plants; i.e., you cut holes in the sides and insert the plants, especially petunias, and they hang down and cover the entire planter. |
Oh, and by mid-season, my pots are always covered by the plants anyway, so I guess it really doesn't matter what pot I use. Not a fan of plants that don't drape over the pots in hanging baskets. :) |

My problem is when the Sun comes up, my Tomatoes Plants start to Wilt or Sag...I live in Town, and I have them planted next to the Side of my Garage, which is White Vinyle. They are Watered enought. Would the Sun be causing them to Wilt, because, when the Sun is off the Plants, they seem to Revive.

I have one plant that is doing this as well. Earlier I thought it was a disease issue and almost pulled it. The plant has continued to put off new suckers and new fruit clusters but as soon as the sun rises it looks like a rag doll but then perks up after sunset. Anyone know what causes this? |
It's a normal reaction to the heat. As the plants get older and toughen up, it will happen less. Just make sure they're getting enough water. I imagine that all the white vinyl just means more light, which leads to more productive plants. |
- Posted by dickiefickle 5B Dousman,Wi. (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 0:15
Sounds like the excessive heat is causing the wilt. Heat reflecting off the house is overheating them. You can just leave and make sure there ie water aplenty. If you want to shade them then buy shade cloth . |
Probably heat refection off the house. IF the plants are in good soil in the ground and watered very well which in this heat (100+ degrees)should be twice a day then they really shouldn't be wilting. As long as the roots are large, no disease, good drainage, well watered then no wilting should really occur even in 105 degree temps. Mine have yet to wilt this year and we have had over 108 degree temps. All the rest of the plants and rest of that plant never wilt at all though. and that fact tells you it is the lack of water supply doing the wilting. |

Everybody can make a sandwich – The question is just how you do it!
The Subway brand, with its innovative service approach, crafty pricing strategy and delicious meals, has in the last years grown massively; not only in reputation but the chain has also surpassed McDonald's in having more restaurants worldwide. The chain works with the discipline of operational excellence and has a creative and extraordinary business idea that just amazes me and has really changed my perception of the fast food industry. There are so many fast food chains out there today that are incredible in the way they do business; being innovative seeking to get their customers to buy more and more from them; but Subway, according to many, takes the standard of the fast food industry to other levels and is in a class of its own.
If you think about it, the Subway sandwiches and menu's are not particularly cheap, and the restaurants does not provide an upscale, chic environment that could please a huge crowd like many of the other popular fast food chains. Yet they always somehow provide a sense of personalisation, belonging and a feeling that they listen and indeed, actually care about what you have to say; all this while being very productive with handling customer requests at the same time.

Are 3D TV's ever going to become a commodity?
Photo by Lars
When the 3D television was launched it was estimated to be a huge success. This was mostly attributed to the great success of the 3D movies in the cinemas; but for the home TV watching audience it was not the case. There are many companies in the market selling 3D television's such as Panasonic, Samsung and LG, but one of the first ones to launch the 3D TVs, and one of the more "successful" companies selling them, was Sony with a 43.3% market share in the 4th quarter of 2010.

Click this image below and download your own copy of the most recent "Broadcast Aviation Safety Manual".
Comprehensive safety guidelines in this manual were drafted by a joint committee with representatives from the helicopter and ENG industries, the FAA and NTSB working together over the course of a year. Read full story here.
SMS Safety Management Systems
IHST Intl Helicopter Safety Team
Have you had, or witnessed, an aviation incident that raised safety concerns? NASA's "Aviation Safety Reporting System", or "ASRS", collects voluntarily submitted aviation safety incident/situation reports from pilots, controllers, and others. The ASRS identifies deficiencies and issues alert messages to persons in positions to correct them, to lessen the likelihood of accidents.
It educates through its newsletter CALLBACK, its journal ASRS Directline and through research studies. Its database is a public repository which serves the FAA and NASA's needs and those of other organizations world-wide which are engaged in research and the promotion of safe flight. To learn more or file a report, click the ASRS icon.
DALLAS, TX – In just three months helicopter aircrews across North America will need to be alert for another low altitude airspace user, small unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) operated by public safety agencies. Small unmanned systems are already being tested by local public safety departments in very limited areas of civilian airspace today and include both fixed wing and rotorcraft. However, the frequency of their employment is about to radically increase all across North America. Small UASs weighing less than 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms) will be allowed to fly public safety missions, with restrictions, in wide areas of the National Airspace System (NAS) 90 days after the President signs the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act, HR 658. Authorizations for much larger UASs will follow over the next three years. Frustrated by years of delays in FAA progress toward integration of UASs into the NAS, UAS industry leaders convinced Congress to, as part of the 2012 funding act, order the FAA to expedite the process. Attendees at the Helicopter Association International (HAI) Heli-Expo in Dallas were briefed on the UAS status by Ben Gielow, Government Relations Manager and General Counsel of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). Gielow pointed out that there will be significant limitations on the employment of small UASs in the near-term. Flights would be limited to missions by public safety agencies only. They would be daylight only flights in only Class G airspace, at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above the ground, within line of sight of the operator and at least 5 statute miles away from the nearest airport, heliport, seaplane base, spaceport or other location with aviation activities. Gielow said the UAS industry is facing some perception issues with both the public and the general aviation community. AUVSI bristles at the use of the word "drone", which Gielow calls an antiquated reference to unmanned aircraft used for target practice. And then there is the "unmanned" issue. "There is certainly nothing 'unmanned' about them (UAS)," said Gielow. "There's always an operator or someone that is in control of that system." Some seminar attendees voiced concerns about how collision avoidance with manned aircraft will be assured. The initial flights of small UASs will not require transponders or collision avoidance systems. They will depend on the practice of see and avoid. "Technology is advancing right now for the (UAS) aircraft to be able to sense and avoid other aircraft," said Gielow. "But that technology is not quite there yet. So it is the (UAS) operator's responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft." A key to future safety according to Gielow is UAS participation in the FAA's NextGen system and fully utilizing ADS-B. "When other aircraft are able to see where other aircraft are, that will certainly help the perception of unmanned aircraft because you know where they are," he said. "Ultimately, we would like to be able to have the unmanned aircraft be able to sense and avoid other manned aircraft and to make adjustments and do it predictably," he added. "So that other operators in the NAS have confidence in these systems and they know what is going to happen and if there is a conflict." The funding act also requires the FAA to allow flights of larger UASs weighing up to 55 pounds within 27 months. Even larger UASs would be integrated into the NAS no later than September of 2015. To encourage technology and procedure development, the FAA is given six months to work with DOD and NASA to designate six test ranges across the country. Gielow says a much-delayed FAA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for regulations covering commercial, private sector use of small UASs is expected to finally be published this spring with a subsequent public comment period. "I encourage all of you, as users, to look at document and then comment if you have any thoughts one way or another," said Gielow. Final regulations for commercial operation of the less than 55 pound systems are expected to take effect in 2014. Meanwhile, within one year, special zones in Alaska would allow such UASs to fly 24 hours a day at more than 2,000 feet above the ground and even beyond line of sight with the operator. UASs could fly in these Alaskan areas for both research and commercial purposes. While DOD is presently the largest user of UASs, AUVSI says there are lots of civilian customers ready to buy and start operating them. Public safety agencies are at the head of the line. US Customs and Border Protection is already using 8 large Predator UASs to patrol the USA's international borders and the agency plans to as much as triple that fleet over the next 4 years. USGS and NOAA also employ UASs. Small law enforcement agencies are trying them out, too. The Mesa County Sheriff's Department in Colorado already has a Certificate of Authorization (COA) from the FAA to operate the small Draganflyer X6 UAS (pictured above) anywhere in the more than 3,000 square miles of the county. About 300 smaller COAs now exist. Gielow said one of the challenges facing the FAA is devising a certification process for both the UASs and their operators. "Does the operator need to be a pilot?" he asked. "Does it need to depend on size of the platform?" Once full integration is allowed in the NAS, Gielow says commercial companies plan to begin using UASs for many tasks including aerial photography, environmental monitoring, filming, tracking wildlife and other purposes. AUVSI predicts that in the future, large UASs could work 24 hours a day doing big jobs like aerial applications of pesticides in farming areas. "And it would also be safer potentially," said Gielow. "Agricultural general aviation is a dangerous job." "Once there is access to the airspace," said Gielow, "you will see a whole new crop of aerospace companies and new tasks that these systems can take on."

Mother Earth is a real bitch. According to some of the more "spiritual" among us, the earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan were the result of Mother Earth's anger at human beings in general and Japanese whalers in particular.
When Mother Earth punishes people for their sins against the planet She tends to lash out at everyone but the actual perpetrators. In this latest case, while She may have been angry at whalers, it was other random citizens who paid the price for the whalers' whaling. But they were Japanese, so close enough I suppose.
Here's a list of some of Mother Earth's greatest hits. With most of Her temper tantrums it's difficult to discern why, exactly, She was pissed. But pissed She was, and all sorts of species paid for Her wrath at whatever She was pissed off about at the time…
250 Million B.C.: Giant volcanic eruption causes the Permian Extinction. Mother Earth apparently pissed at creatures that will later become fossil fuels. Unwittingly creates fossil fuels that will lead to temper tantrums in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
28 Million B.C.: The La Garita Caldera in what is now southwestern Colorado was supposedly the largest volcanic eruption ever. The object of Mother Earth's wrath this time around is not known.
2.1 Million B.C.: Yellowstone supervolcano eruption causes swath of destruction across middle America. Mother Earth anticipates large collection of gun-toting religious red staters and launches a preemptive strike that turns out to be premature.
75,000 B.C.: The Toba Caldera in present day Sumatra unleashed a hellish winter for at least two years. Apparently, Mother Earth likes to cool things off after a superheated flash of red hot anger. This was actually the result of a spat between Mother Earth and Father Time.
1687: A magnitude 8.5 quake rocks Lima, Peru, destroying much of the city. This area of South America is one of Mother Earth's favorite places to unleash Her wrath since people there had the audacity to build cities.
1815: The volcanic eruption in Tambora, Indonesia is the largest one in the past 200 years. Mother Earth, for whatever reason, has never been a big fan of this region of the world.
1958: The largest known tsunami wave at 1,720 feet tall hit Litya Bay, Alaska. There are only two things you need to know about Mother Earth's reasoning here: Alaska and Sarah Palin. Case closed.

Hi DMack108, I'm hoping you see this! I noticed you had an issue with installing an Electrolux oven under a Wolf gas cooktop. I'm looking to do the same thing, although my oven will not be the Icon. Did you ever resolve this, and how did you resolve it? You were considering installing the oven to the left of the cooktop. I assume you installed it under the cooktop? Where did you place your gas shutoff? How is it working - do you like it? Thanks! |

Presidents' Day weekend brings another Spring-like day to the Central Coast. It was a little cooler than Saturday, but temperatures were above normal for this time of year.
A couple of low pressure systems are headed toward the region. The storms are expected to produce rain showers from Monday night through Thursday. Rainfall totals should be around half an inch. The strongest and coldest storm should move over the Central Coast early Tuesday. This low pressure system should generate thunderstorms, hail and gusty winds. Snow levels are expected to drop down to 2,500 feet.
Temperatures in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties should be below the seasonal norms from Monday through Saturday. Bundle up on Tuesday and Wednesday -- as these days are expected to be the coldest.
Have a great week!

Message from the Director
There's a lot to love about working for UW Alumni Tours, but one of my favorite tasks is researching trips that will either enrich our program by reaching new audiences or attracting past travelers to another trip. Next year, we are offering three specialized trips that I'm excited about.
While researching new trips is great fun, I love to leave the office behind and host a tour. I get to experience a tour firsthand, but more importantly, I spend time with travelers like you. It's always a welcome opportunity to discuss why you signed up for a particular tour, what types of trips you want us to offer, and what you look for in a tour. I'm thrilled to have two tours on my calendar and invite you to join me on one of these adventures: Myanmar (Nov. 2013) or the aforementioned Tanzania: Women to Women Cultural Exchange (March 2014).
Wildlife and natural beauty are at the heart of two exciting trips. Room for two just opened up on our Uganda tour (Nov. 11 – 27), accompanied by UW Professor Emeritus James Karr. Enjoy this exotic intersection of savannas, jungles, and rainforests while discovering a variety of big game animals. Another exciting trip is our Machu Picchu and the Galapagos itinerary, which has been incredibly popular this year — so popular that we're offering four departures. There are still openings on the November tour, so cross these one-of-a-kind destinations off your bucket list and join us!
For final details on these trips and the most updated information on all of our tours, please check out our website or email us at email@example.com.
Susan and I hope that you are enjoying lovely spring weather, wherever you are.
Happy travels,
Pauline RanieriDirector, UW Alumni Tours
Featured Tours
And that's not all! More tours, including our full schedule of 2014 programs, are available on our website. Our website is updated weekly, so continue to check back; if you're interested in a specific tour and want to be contacted when more details are available, send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Welcome Back!
Welcome Back UW Travelers
Australia and New Zealand February 23–March 15, 2013
*Note: This tour had such a long waitlist that we are repeating it next year: February 12-March 5, 2014!
UWAA Sports TravelThe UW Alumni Association has teamed up with Premiere Global Sports to offer football fan travel packages to both the Arizona State and Stanford games in 2013. Looking ahead to 2014, we are excited to offer new travel packages to both the Masters (April 9 – 12) and the Kentucky Derby (May 1 – 4). These two packages are also open to other collegiate alumni associations, so space is limited. Learn more about these opportunities!

Window boxes are one of the items that Mokena craftsman Casey Canady creates through Custom Architectural Design. | Brett Roseman~Sun-Times Media

It's good to see the Chicago Flower & Garden Show still features connections to the Southland. Congratulations to people like Mokena craftsman Casey Canady for having his work on display there.
I'd like to thank the Oak Forest Public Works Department for such a wonderful job during our snowstorm. Great job!

I think people are beating this thing into the ground about Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose. He's not the whole team. Leave the guy alone. When he decides to come back then he will come back.
Many Speak Out commenters rail against Link cards and entitlements to the poor. Stop looking down at those who are less fortunate than you. Stop blaming them when you really ought to be looking up at the corporate welfare that the United States dishes out annually. Corporate welfare amounts to far more than any entitlement program that goes to benefit the poor.

Attention, all Crestwood seniors. The free coffee you are getting from mayoral candidate Lou Presta is made with Crestwood water. Is he trying to kill the votes or get the votes?
Frank from Crestwood
My husband has worked for over 20 years for a company that went from American- to foreign-owned and mostly American workers to foreigners. He's heard many rude comments like "Americans have too many freedoms," "I'll take your job" and "Americans are stupid." With our revolving-door immigration policy, we are stupid. I think no other nation lets anyone in like we do. We pay taxes, foreigners don't. They get public aid, we don't. They take our good-paying jobs, we lose ours. And President Obama seems to think we need more immigrants. Still think he and the Democrats care about us? Fools!
About a bill for medical services: Last September I had to go to an urgent aid center. Here it is February and I finally received a bill from the doctor's service after the insurance paid their portion. I could not believe one of the charges. It was a charge for $10 for "services provided between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m." It's hard to believe that they have the nerve to submit that as a charge. It just does not seem right. I have never seen anything like this.
Rose from Hazel Crest
How about Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart for Chicago police superintendent instead of Garry McCarthy?
I read that they have raised $23.5 million to help at-risk kids. Was that for all of the neighborhoods? If they can raise that kind of money then why can't they raise money to put more police on the street? What is wrong with this picture?
I think higher minimum wage means the more we make, the more government takes. They should tax us less but they won't.
I want to thank Bremen Animal Hospital for the care and compassion exhibited on that horrible Feb. 26th evening when I had to put my Shih Tzu Taffy to sleep. Thank you, Dr. Terry Becker and Linda, for understanding the hard time I had doing what needed to be done, and for your kindness. Thank you, Dr. Roger Hagenberg and Dr. Scott Gallatin, for the years of excellent care you gave Taffy and my Shih Tzu Coco that I had to put to sleep a few years ago. You helped me during a difficult time. I miss them so much.

Seedless watermelon, the Internet and Tom Skilling are three of the best inventions ever. WGN-TV (Channel 9)'s Skilling is a treasure. If you don't have time to listen to him, or think he talks too much, or don't understand what he is saying, get an attention span or turn the channel. There are plenty of places where you can get weather in 30 seconds or less.
White males not receiving special treatment? I'm sorry, but what country are you living in? This is the only group who has had full protection under the law since the creation of the United States. Women had to struggle for the right to vote, the right to control their reproductive rights and equal pay under the law, and still fight against glass ceilings in almost every walk of life. People of color have also struggled for most of these rights. White men don't receive special treatment? Don't make me laugh.
Bonnie from Flossmoor
Is anyone else fed up with the news media's unending and constant coverage of the pope's election. Come on, people! Cover some news that really is important.
Former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson needs to do time along with her husband, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. If it were the ordinary Jane Q. Public, she would be behind bars along with the other women who have children. Let the relatives take the children or put them in the foster system like they do with the other criminals' children. There should be no special consideration for either Jackson. They need to be held accountable.
Maureen from Palos Heights
To all you imbeciles using robo calls to invade my privacy: I receive these nuisance calls two, three, four and more times daily. I have bad knees but have to get up and answer my phone. You blockheads should know I wouldn't buy what you are selling even if it was free. Also, I would never vote for you even if you were the last person on Earth. You are a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings that will never get my attention for more than the two or three seconds it takes to hang up the phone on your disgusting recordings.

Yes it is. But also I have had this run before on windows 7 with editing the registry to turn off hardware acceleration. Which is the problem with the main menu being all black. But changing the settings makes it work. But this new code has happened for another game as well. I actually posted a post relating to the game crash and it has the same code but everyone tried to blame the video drivers. And from looking at other people chime in on a microsoft forum and they went out and got the latest video card and still didn't solve that code.

- you need to download this https://app.box.com/shared/ff6phvi1p1 and use the new exe and replace the WEANETR.dll. - then you need to start the game. Go into graphics options and uncheck hardware acceleration. - then blindly start the first mission. Save and keep playing. Or you can quit to main menu and you will have gotten rid of the black screen problem. - if you want to play the game in a higher screen resolution you can open regedit by pressing the windows key+r then typing in regedit. Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Bullfrog Productions Ltd/Dungeon Keeper II/Configuration/Video Now you can click on one of the three 'res' keys and change value from 0 to 1. Screen Hardware3D should be set to 0. - if you launch the game and your hit with the stupid black screen again. Go into the graphics options again and uncheck the hardware acceleration again. Then load your saved game, quit to menu to see it's not black anymore. Quit program. Then right click on your 1.73 shortcut and add " -32bitdisplay" without the quotes and you will no longer have to mess with any settings now. This was done last. So maybe instead of having to do the blindly start the game and save thing. Maybe this makes it work right away with the 1.73 exe. Game at least is playable now with a minor setback on how to get it up and running. But the game is worth it. Sucks it's not running like it used to run on win7 for me. Don't know whats different. Maybe the latest version of directx messed any compatibility there was up completely. |

17 November 2007
The Institute of Medical Genetics, part of the School of Medicine, has received one of this year's Queen's Anniversary Prizes, which recognise world class levels of excellence in UK Higher Education, from Her Majesty the Queen.
The Vice-Chancellor, Dr David Grant and the Institute's Director, Professor Julian Sampson, attended a ceremony at Buckingham Palace to collect the award. Dr Grant received the Prize medal from Her Majesty while Professor Sampson was presented with the certificate by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. The Cardiff party also included the University's President, Lord Kinnock, the Chair of Council, Professor Sir Keith Peters, the Dean of the Medical School, Professor David Wynford-Thomas and five students working at the Institute.
Professor Sampson said: "It was a great honour to receive the award from Her Majesty this morning. The students and staff at Cardiff University's Institute of Medical Genetics are all delighted that our work in developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for patients with genetic conditions has been recognised in this way."
The Institute earned the award for its success in identifying genetic causes of diseases and developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for them. Its achievements include:
The Institute is now expanding with a £4.8M investment in new laboratories for more work on cancer genetics. The focus will be on developing new methods of earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Dr Grant said: "Professor Julian Sampson and the Institute of Medical Genetics team are to be congratulated on this recognition of the excellence of their research, training and healthcare work. The Institute has identified the causes of several major diseases and developed innovative and effective new approaches to the treatment and support of patients and families with inherited conditions.
"This prize is the second significant honour for Cardiff University geneticists in recent months, following Professor Sir Martin Evans' Nobel Prize for stem cell research, and is testament to our world-leading standing in this increasingly vital science."
Robin Gill, Chairman of the Royal Anniversary Trust said: "The Prizes confer the highest national recognition on the work of our universities and colleges and the part they play in the country's economic advance, social wellbeing and industrial self-fulfilment. The scheme establishes a benchmark for excellence and validates Britain's contribution to innovation, knowledge and skills on the world scene."
This is the third time that excellence at Cardiff University has been recognised with a Queen's Anniversary Prize, which are awarded every two years. The previous winners are Professor Tony Campbell, of the School of Medicine, who won a Prize in 1998 for his pioneering use of chemiluminescence in clinical diagnosis and the University's Manufacturing Engineering Centre, which won a Prize in 2000 in recognition of its contribution to the economy.
