Local Food Legacy
New Year's Day takes a back seat to no holiday when it comes to traditions. Frankly, we can do without the polar bear plunges. But we do look forward to a visit from our friend, Topf Wells, who always bears a bowl of black-eyed peas and ham, one spoonful of which will bring us all the luck we need for the new year.
There are variations of the popular dish. It's known as Hoppin' John in some parts. The New Orleans version uses red beans. Topf's is true to his Arkansas roots and as far as we're concerned it wouldn't be New Year's Day without it. It's a generous gift, sharing one's traditions—especially food, and what's a warmer wish than a year of good luck?
As for Topf, his good luck in 2011 looks like it'll include retirement. He's been the ham to Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk's black-eyed peas for the last fourteen years, and when Falk decided to step down from the post this spring, it opened the door to allow Topf to join his wife Sally in retirement. More time to visit the farmers' markets around the county, among other things.
Topf cares about food. And so does Falk. In fact, a reading of the county exec's accomplishments includes significant contributions to the areas of sustainable agriculture and local food economies. We've been known to challenge our regional government leaders to do more to support local farmers and producers, in particular by offering more local food at institutional buildings and settings. Late last year Falk sent us a press release showing five years of growth in local food initiatives at Centerplate, the food service at the county-owned Alliant Energy Center.
It's an impressive list—nearly forty percent of food purchases are from local providers, including ninety-six percent of the dairy products served. The goal is to reach fifty percent locally produced food in three years. Further, Centerplate offers to accommodate any customer requests for an all locally grown menu. That's progress.
So is the work of the Institutional Food Market run by Olivia Perry, which is buying over 1.5 million pounds of locally grown produce every year. So are the ongoing outreach efforts by the Dane County Food Council, the citizen committee of the Dane County Board that develops recommendations for creating sustainable local food systems. All of these efforts came under Falk's watch and they're important.
Of course even more important are the critical land use and environmental decisions that have marked Falk's tenure. While development pressures will always exist, the tensions that arose with every single pending subdivision proposal have been eased by a decade of building countrywide consensus around conservation, environmental protection and saving family farms. In the meantime organic farm and dairy operations have thrived in Dane County and along with them, industries like the local specialty cheese sector. Manure digesters may not be on the top of everyone's legacy list, but the cow-powered machines will play an important role in food safety as well as energy production.
Falk's many accomplishments will be duly noted elsewhere. But we want to acknowledge the food-related genuine articles that resulted from her leadership. And we very much hope food is high on the list of priorities for the next county executive.
Given that we had Topf Wells' peas and ham, we expect it will be.

Great Combination Of Laser & GPS

Product Review:
The Bushnell Hybrid Laser GPS rangefinder seems to be the perfect product when contemplating between a GPS and a rangefinder. The PinSeeker technology allows me to focus in on the pin and not the various backgrounds. The course maps are the best I have seen, and without a doubt the courses I play are amongst the 16,000 that are preloaded. My favorite feature is distance recap from my last shot -- a great way to see how I am performing with each club! Simply put, it is the best of both world combined in one and worth every penny! -- Oh and no downloads or fees!! Thanks DGW!

We had a rather hot July and August here in Northeast Texas and I'm finding that I did not water my Green Giants adequately. I've got a little over 30 that are in the ground and are coming up on 2 years old. I noticed the first one that was showing stress and I jumped on the watering about 2 weeks ago, but the rest started to show stress also despite the watering. I've heard before that a tree shows stress from what happened about 4 weeks prior and I'm hoping I caught it in time. I had a few trees last year that got really poor looking only having just a little green left on them, but yet they pulled through our horrible summer and thrived. All my trees still have green close to the trunk, but the tips are what turning colors on me. I'm looking for reassurance that my trees that I have spent countless hours watering and weeding are going to be OK. Thanks for any input! |

Kate Walsh Celebrates Private Practice's End in Her Bikini
Kate Walsh showed off her bikini body when she hit the beach in Miami yesterday. Kate, who turned 45 back in October, wore a black two-piece as she lounged with a small group of friends on beachside chaises before taking a dip in the ocean. Kate is currently enjoying her time off after wrapping filming for the final season of Private Practice. The final episode for Private Practice is expected to air sometime in early 2013, but there has been some fan buzz that Kate's Addison could make a return to her original haunt, Grey's Anatomy. Kate's now had time to hit the party scene. She was most recently spotted celebrating at last week's Rodeo Walk of Style event with Drew Barrymore and Cat Deeley in LA.

I bought two kitchen cabinets, put 2x4s horizontally on the sides between them at the table height needed, then laid a ¾ sheet of plywood cut as a table top and screwed into the 2x4s. To make the whole thing more stable I put a sheet of plywood across the back of the two cabinets and table top. I screwed in a 2x4 at the join of the plywood sheets. I then screwed the back sheet of plywood into the wall studs. It has been good as an enlarger stand, but I suppose the table could double as a tornado shelter.
The second enlarger is a Durst 138S converted to 8x10 cold light. It has a weighted floor stand. The top of the stand in bolted to the wall. Vibration is not on my wish list.

How can we raise a bilingual child?
My husband and I are fluent in English and Spanish. We'd like our son to learn both languages, so I speak to him only in Spanish while my husband switches between the two tongues. Have other parents found this a good method or should we try something else?

I am not fluent in any language but English, but I took two years of Spanish in high school. With the increasing Spanish-speaking population in my area, I believe that everyone should learn to speak at least the basics of the dominant languages in their area. My children love 'Dora the Explorer', 'Sesame Street', and a new show on our PBS station called 'Maya and Miguel'. The kids (and some monsters in the case of Sesame Street) on these shows speak both English and Spanish. I am trying to teach my children (ages 4 years and 7 months) Spanish words by using both the English and Spanish words. If I ask my older daughter if she'd like a glass of 'milk', I repeat myself and say 'leche'. I doubt that they will be able to speak fluent Spanish this way, but at least they will have been exposed to the language and possibly be able to learn it from someone else in the future. Along these same lines, I am also trying to teach my children the basics of sign language. I have a brother-in-law who is deaf and so is his wife. I am doing my best to learn some signs so that I will be able to better communicate with them, and I want my children to be able to do the same.posted 04/25/2005 by lonken
Hello, well, I have a newphew that is bilingual. my mother and I both talk to him in spanish while he learns english from his mother. He grew up that way is although at times talks Spanglish, he knows when to talk to certain people in what language. rather smart little fella. As for my future kids (soon to come, 5 months) I plan on speaking to my child in spanish while the mother in English. I would like to show him/her just Spanish since, chances are the child will pick up english in school, but you know, compromise. But best of luck to you Aida.posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I teach Reading in a primarily Hispanic area. 90% of my students are Hispanic, and about 75% speak only Spanish at home. More than half of our students come to Kindergarten with no English whatsoever. This is a distinct disadvantage to them, since the other half are ready to start learning how to read and they are just now learning what the teacher is saying. As EK said, the early years are the best time to present language, so teach your child(ren) both languages from the beginning. You can still provide a strong language base in both languages, and your child will be better off in the long run. I am jealous. My hubby speaks only English, while I am still working on my Spanish. Take advantage of your gifts! Good luck!posted 04/25/2005 by mendiv
My best friEned only speaks to my daughter and her grand daughter in Spanish, while her granddaughters mother and I only speak to the babies in English. Even at 2 1/2 and 16 months you can see the girls understand both languages perfectly. Now...if it would only work that fast for ME!!posted 04/25/2005 by SB&K'SMOM
Aida, I agree with the writer above me. I am raising two bilingual children. I am German and my husband is american. Even though I speak fluent english and talk english to my husband I only speak german to my children. This is really important for them to distingiush that there is mommy who speaks one language and there is daddy who speaks another language. My son will be 3 in August and he knows both languages and knows exactly to who to talk in German and to who to talk in English. It might be hard, not to fall back and talk english with them, but that is the best method for children to learn. A friend of mine is french and the husband indonesian and they only talk german to each other. They speak their native language to the child and German just comes along in preschool and by living in Germany. She will be 4 in June and speak all three languages perfectly fine. I hope that helpsposted 04/25/2005 by Steph+Gary
I am a bilingual single mother and am struggling to establish consistency as I want my child to be bilingual as well. I am a Spanish teacher, and know for a fact that teaching them both simultaneously is the best method, and though initially your child may seem slower developmentally in producing language, it will even out once they are school aged and your child will have the advantage of the solid foundation for acquiring both languages throughout her life. The key is to just expose your child to as much language as possible, even if it's Chinese, Russian and German! This will establish the connections in the brain for langage acquisition and she'll be able to pick up langages much easier through her life. Think about Europeans, most speak 3 to 5 langugages beacause they were exposed to them all from infancy. Good luck and you have already given your child an advantage by showing the appreciation and value of other cultures by learning their language!posted 04/25/2005 by sonria23
Hi Aida: my parents raised me speaking ONLY Spanish to me - I, too, entered kindergarten not knowing English and now I am comletely fluent in both languages. I think what you are doing is great! It's exactly what we are doing with our 12 month old. My parents and I only speak to her in Spanish and she understands simple commands, such as waving goodbye, giving kisses, wanting more. My husband speaks to her only in English and she understands the same commands. I know she will eventually master both languages just as her mommy did :) Best of luck!posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband is Polish, I am American, and we live in Brazil, where my son was born one year ago. I try to only speak English to him at home, and of course he hears Portuguese spoken by others every day. (He isn't in school or daycare yet.) I worry that he will be confused hearing me speak english one minute and then portuguese with other people the next minute. And, of course, my accent or grammer isn't the best in Portuguese either. My husband tries to speak polish with him at night but with 3 different languages, it is difficult to find a consistent routine. I also speak very little polish so it isn't practical for him to only speak polish. Any advice or experience from other tri-lingual parents???posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
It is not true that you should teach them one language first. I have a degree in both Spanish and ESL. It is best to teach them both at the same time. Often they will begin speaking a little later than others but that is due to sorting out the languages and knowing who to speak what to. But to have a few months delay in speaking is well worth having bilingual children. One quick note is that the child will generally associate better and be able to express themselves more personally in the language that they speak with their mother. This is great that you are using Spanish because your children will learn so much academic English here.posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm trying the same thing. Although I've learned French, I'm not an expert. I want my daughter to be able to speak at least two languages, so I talk to her what I know. I do know a couple nursery rhymes in both languages and I sing those to her, switching back and forth. I've already started this even though she's only 7 months. All I know is that the younger a language is taught, the better. Infants and toddlers are more open to learning language, because of the way their brains work. This is the time to learn how to talk, so it's also the best time to become bi-or tri-lingual.posted 04/25/2005 by molycatherose

Brothercake Drop Down Menu Issues
I've created an image based nav bar that I would like menus to drop down from. I'm trying to make something loosely based on this demo:
But for some reason my menus aren't dropping down. Does anyone know if there are more detailed instructions that would show how to do this?? The brothercake site explains it in pieces but I can't find where is shows how to get the menu info from custom.js to show up since I have an image-based nav bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, Kelly

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

text: I really don't want to eat a lot of meat, I'd be perfectly happy to be a vegetarian to tell you the truth. Sometimes I eat a sandwich with some turkey or ham, but I'm just not that into it. I have read many times that one should have protein at every meal. I am just wondering what are some good sources of protein, and how much one should have at each meal. For example, is 1 cup of 2% milk a good source of protein for a meal? How about a yogurt? Is cheese a good way to get protein? I am just wondering if dairy gives enough for the amount of calories it has. How do you all get in your protein from non-meat sources?

Arizona Cardinals
Mock Draft: McShay has Cardinals taking quarterback
It's never too early to start thinking about the NFL Draft, especially if you're a fan of a team that's in the middle of a nine-game losing streak.
That's the boat Arizona Cardinals fans are in. And considering the woeful play the team has gotten from the quarterback position during the skid, fans will be happy with what ESPN/Scouts, Inc. draft expert Todd McShay has Arizona doing in his very early 2013 mock draft.
McShay has the Cardinals tabbing West Virginia signal caller Geno Smith with the eighth overall selection.
There is still a lot of work to do on the top quarterbacks, but the question at this point is how high a team will reach for the top player a the position. It's easy to argue the Cardinals need a quarterback as badly as any team in the NFL right now, and when Smith is on, his mechanics, footwork and confidence make him an effective passer.
Smith got off to a tremendous start in 2012, throwing for 1,996 yards with 24 touchdown passes and zero interceptions during the Mountaineers' 5-0 start. West Virginia finished the season 7-5 and Smith ended up throwing 40 touchdowns and finished fifth in the nation in passing efficiency.
Smith stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 214 pounds -- decent size for an NFL signal caller. McShay currently has Smith ranked as the top quarterback in the 2013 draft crop and 23rd-ranked player overall.
The Cardinals last drafted a quarterback in the first round in 2006, when they nabbed USC's Matt Leinart with the tenth overall pick.

From the sar man page:
Code:-s [ hh:mm:ss ] Set the starting time of the data, causing the sar command to extract records time-tagged at, or follow- ing, the time specified. The default starting time is 08:00:00. Hours must be given in 24-hour format. This option can be used only when data are read from a file (option -f ).
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Down the replay rabbit hole
@RichardC Simple solution to Ken Levine's problem - stop making AAA games.
Focus on content and story, spend less time worrying about graphics - makes it a lot easier to program and you can produce a game that lasts 20-30hrs rather than a game that is finished in 10.

Anything that makes the Lotus 49 more drivable than GPL has got my interest piqued.

Hotline Miami review
Tom you are indeed dead on in your review: this game is a hyper-violent and addictive blend, much like a mixture between 'A Clockwork Orange', 'American Psycho' and 'Drive' to use some film similes. Plays like 'Sword of the Samurai' (the top-down fighting parts) which is one of my all-time favourite games. My only hope is that the developer takes this formula further and produces a sequel, which would, for me, be an instant purchase. 10/10. Reply +1

Games of 2011: Skyrim
@nicfaz it's difficult to give a completely accurate assessment when the gaming public wants the full review on release... this is why EG does retrospectives - in hindsight it's much easier to give a proper score. Especially in regards to the PS3 high level bug which was only noticed after the game was reviewed. Reply -1
Ever since the Internet caught on (around about 2004 when broadband became fairly accessible here... Australia) it's been commonplace for broken-out-of-box games to be released - before then it was damn near impossible to fix a broken game after release.
So it begs the question are we winners or losers for having to patch a game constantly after release?
My answer is one of the best games I've played in the last couple years was Fallout 3: New Vegas and that was in my opinion one of the buggiest games I've ever seen, so in that respect the ability to patch is a blessing in disguise. Reply -1 -

Brendan McNamara: "I'd rather people just ring me up and tell me to f*** off"
Speaking as someone who's been a leader on a production team (in Film/TV that is), and judging by what I've read and heard about this guy he sounds heavy-handed, fair enough - some leaders are more about the stick and less about the carrot, if that works for them fine but they shouldn't be surprised when the whole world thinks they're a dick (aka Mr. McNamara).
Personally I prefer to treat everyone in my crew as equally as possible and give them the carrot and reserve the stick for when people step out of line, but hey that's just me; I want people to sing my praises rather than curse my name after they've worked for me.

How to Build Your Own Gaming PC
I built my PC about 2 years ago (it's called "black beauty", guess why).
The main reason for me to build a PC from scratch is the price - idiots who don't realize how easy it is pay four times what it cost me (which was about $1200 Australian dollars).
Here's what's under the shiny black bonnet: Quad core i7 CPU, 4GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 with a nice black BENQ 24inch widescreen monitor... the keyboard and mouse are also black.
2 years on and I still haven't had a game that has needed to run on anything less than the highest graphics settings... $1200 - do the math. Reply +1 -

There's violence in video games, but it's not real - so who cares? It's just a cathartic release for the masses.
Personally I care little for violence either way in video games (I like sim games), but I can see why other people get into hardcore FPS to vent frustration, and I don't see any valid connection between violence in video games and violence in real life - anyone who can't make a distinction between the two is already a psychopath to begin with.

"EDGE is notoriously strict with its review scores, but it hasn't hurt them. If anything, publishers see a good score from EDGE as a badge of honor. A 9 from EDGE carries a lot more weight than a 9 from IGN."

That's why EDGE & Eurogamer are my 2 favourite sources for game reviews - they obviously don't pander to the publishers whims (or truckloads of "sponsorship" money) like IGN and other crap review sites.
I for one am happy with an 8/10 for Eurogamer as being a sufficient enough score for me to buy a game - the fanboys be damned.

Teaching Compassion
Class helps medical students improve their bedside manner.
House calls are an antiquated practice for doctors, but for medical students at the University of South Florida they are a critical part of the curriculum.
"I get to hear things I would not be able to crunch in to a 5-10 minute visit in a doctor's office," says first year medical student Chris Pothering.
Pothering is in the "Select" Program at the University of South Florida.
Not only did he have to pass the MCAT to get in, he had to pass an emotional intelligence test commonly taken by CEO candidates.
"We want to make sure that these students exhibit not only the qualities that will make them outstanding physicians, outstanding clinicians, but also leaders," explains Dr. Alicia Monroe, Vice Dean of Educational Affairs at USF's College of Medicine.
The heart of the program is making sure doctors have a heart.
There's a strong emphasis on teaching the students to see things from a patient's perspective, to get to know them and learn how their job, family and social life affect the decisions they make about their health.
That's why Pothering is taking the time to get to know patient Emma Donahue in her home environment.
As a competitive swimmer and busy high school student she's having trouble keeping her type one diabetes under control.
"It's really cool because you can talk for longer and explain things more thoroughly, its not in a sit-down doctor room where things are just black or white," she says.
By returning to an old practice in medicine students are hoping to pioneer a new model for healthcare.
The Select Program takes four years to complete.
Two are spent in Tampa, the second half is spent at Lehigh Valley Health Network in Pennsylvania with a focus on clinical education.

Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist |
In the popular imagination, science is a collection of arcane facts that only a tiny minority of people are capable of understanding. In reality, science a process for generating knowledge by looking at the world, thinking of possible explanations for interesting phenomena, testing those models by observation and experiment, and telling the results of those tests to others. This process is an essential human activity, something we all do every day, often just for fun.
Chad Orzel, author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog will explain how everyday activities like card games, crossword puzzles, and sports make use of the same mental tools scientists have used to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
This event is in association with Institute of Physics (IOP) Publishing.
Chad Orzel is a professor, blogger, and author of popular-audience books about physics. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics studying laser-cooled atoms in the group of Bill Phillips (1997 Nobel laureate in physics), and spent two years as a post-doc at Yale University studying Bose-Einstein Condensation. In 2001 he joined the faculty of Union College in Schenectady, NY, where he is now an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Since 2002 he has run the physics weblog Uncertain Principles, now part of the ScienceBlogs network. He is the author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog and How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog, explaining modern physics concepts through imaginary conversations with his German Shepherd, Emmy. His next book, Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist will be published in December 2014.

We ordered big. Rounds of drinks, far too many apps, entrees for each person and then extras just in case. The wine list at Mark & Isabella is good-sized, and there are also custom cocktails. Maybe my first dirty cherry soda off that list was poured too strong (or perhaps I was distracted by the company and the still-fresh ache that seeing them represented), but it took a while for me to notice the problems that, in retrospect, were apparent as soon as the first plates hit the table.
Prosciutto and melon is impossible to fuck up, a ten-second lay-up for even the most brain-damaged of kitchen crews. Or so I thought. At Mark & Isabella, ours came in a block, the delicate meat lying like a brick — not beautifully fanned, not in a jumbled pile of wisp-thin slices — because it'd been peeled straight from the wax paper and dropped onto the plate in a perfectly portion-controlled wad, without so much as a splash of oil, a grind of black pepper, anything. The melon (cantaloupe) was underripe and ugly. On the side came four hand-formed balls of goat cheese, fingerprinted and tasting dusty, which matched the (supposedly) sweet melon and salty prosciutto about as well as chicken would a rock.
The fresh mozzarella with basil, tomato and balsamic vinegar was made with day-old cheese at best, with thick-cut slabs of tomato as dimly tomato-flavored as anything I'd get at the King Soopers across the street from my house, and with cheap balsamic endowed with all the subtlety of a vinegar-flavored sour ball. A plate of grana padano, splashed with honey, came with nicely grilled and oil-soaked crostini — but what, exactly, are you to do with spears of bread and a hard cheese save eat one, then the other, lick the honey off your fingers and wonder at the strange vicissitudes of menu design?
The fries, at least, were decent — nicely golden-brown shoestring frites speckled with parmesan — but the mozzarella sticks tasted like pale Silly Putty dipped in tomato paste. I've had better at bowling alleys. And I haven't been bowling in a dozen years.
Still, while I made conversation and saw to the equitable disbursement of mozzarella, tomatoes and bread, I noticed none of this. I ate because eating was all I could think to do, was what we had come here for, was all any of us had done recently that'd been remotely pleasant or comforting. Wine glasses were refilled. Plates were cleared. A part of me recognized that something was elusively wrong with just about everything that'd been set before us, but, critical faculties momentarily stunned, I couldn't say exactly what it had been.
Now I can. The purpose of appetizers is to take the edge off a hunger, to tamp down the worst cravings beneath tiny bites of the best the house has to offer but to leave the main appetite untouched. As the empty plates were walked away from our table, I knew only that I felt hungrier than I had before eating.
Shortly, I would discover that those few blown apps really were the best the house had to offer.
Against all better judgment, I'd ordered Izzy's Meatballs with crispy polenta and marinara sauce. If Izzy is a real person, I want to punch him (or her) right in his (or her) head. To name an entree and then to blow it so completely was a double insult; bad enough that the plate was poorly executed, worse still to think this might've been deliberate on the part of an actual person with an actual name. "Awful" is too gentle a word to describe what was set in front of me, too kind to capture how it made me recoil after just one taste, breaking through the hundred other things I had on my mind just then and finally setting off the alarm in my head. The meatballs — Izzy's meatballs — were sour, tasted of a charred pan in which old garlic had been left to rot, fell into wet, miserable pieces at the merest approach of my fork, and looked like they'd been put together by a chimp with serious motor-control issues. The sauce was broken and bleeding grease into a slick at the top of my plate. The polenta beneath the meatballs tasted like paste when I was able to find a bite that hadn't been soaked by the terrible sauce, like eating the skin on top of paste, doused in oily tomato slurry, when I wasn't so fortunate. The single redeeming feature of the plate was that it had been served hot. And the sharp piece of plastic I found in it (like the corner clipped off a plastic bag full of awful) was one of the less offensive things about it.
That was just one main. Just mine. If anything, the spaghetti and meatballs were worse, because the kitchen had been given the opportunity not just to ruin the meatballs and sauce again, but also to drown a pasta with that sauce. When Laura stabbed a fork into her bowl of pappardelle with meat ragu, the entire pile of handmade noodles came out of the bowl in a single clump. My mother's chicken parmesan was burnt beyond the point of edibility, its edges black beneath the veil of sauce with which the kitchen had so skillfully tried to hide its shame. And virtually everything on the table except our glasses of water was over-salted so badly that even I — a man who lives for salt — had to say, "Wow, yeah...that's just too much."

Windows AERO not working..
Now, I realize there are a bunch of threads on this, but none of them worked for my issue, so I decided to try to get my own help.
Windows AERO has stopped working. I do not know why. Previously, I could restore to a previous point (which was 9 days ago), but that restore point has been taken over, and I can not restore to the point where that worked previously. I have updated my video card drive, and have tried the trouble shooting bit for AERO, which comes up as not having any problems. I don't know what else to do. If anyone could give me a hand, let me know what information to provide and I will do my best to make this less complicated for the lot of us. Thanks, Andrew |

Welcome to Seven Forums Andrew. The only issue with a post like your is while you say you tried other things, we won't know what you tried, so will likely suggest the usual things. If you know what all you have tried, and can list it, we'll know, but otherwise, we have to start at scratch.
You say previously you could restore to a previous point, this problem has happened before? Is a common problem for you? First off, have you patched your system to use 3rd party themes, and if so how? Is this the in built Windows Aero themes? Are you currently stuck on basic, or classic? If you haven't already, I would start with the System File Checker SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker If it returns no error, we'll move on, if it finds error it cannot repair, run it 3 times, and if still no repair, post the sfcdetails.txt A Guy |

And that rhymes
I got to thinking just how much I dislike really small and short grips. partly because of largish hands. Of course the compromize aspect is grip feel vs concealability.
I do tho find a huge bonus in control when I have the pinky included - tho not always possible, instance my R9. With things like 642's tho I would personally have a larger grip rather than smaller. My old M85 has Hogues which extend enough to help - and the CT's on my SP-101 similarly give enough grip area.
Main reason for me is simply controllability - I am aware that a quick draw and presentation works significantly better when there is more grip, however small the gun.
Some of the real diminutive (tho pretty) cocobolo's and similar just do not do it for me. Thoughts?

Two of my zucchini plants (black beauty) have leaves that look like this. Does it look like mosaic virus or something else? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not virus. Instead, moisture stress. Have you had a heat wave recently? Or did the plant wilt, even though only briefly? |
Too much moisture, or not enough? It has been hot here - in the high 80s and 90s, but that is normal for this area. |
Too little. Ran short of water. |

Australian Institute of Music
The Australian Institute of Music (AIM) is a private not-for-profit institution. AIM is nationally recognized institution based in Sydney and Melbourne offering undergraduate and graduate courses in Contemporary Performance, Classical Performance, Audio Engineering, Composition & Music Production, Musical theatre, Theatre Performance and Acting,Arts Management and Entertainment Management.[1]
AIM students individually tailor their studies to integrate performance skills, business management, marketing, individual instrument or voice lessons, audio & sound engineering, music production and other specialised units. Students in the Bachelor of Entertainment at AIM, and students in the Bachelor of Performance at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art are the only AIM students who are required to undertake industry placements as part of their courses.[2]
The purpose of this education is for students to develop the confidence and skills needed to pursue a successful career in the music industry, performing arts & wider entertainment fields.
AIM has a campus in Surry Hills, and 120 King Street Melbourne CBD.
Studio facilities include the industry standard fully equipped 'QStudios' and sound labs [3] where students have the opportunity to compose, record and mix their work. AIM also has 'John Painter Hall' (300 seat auditorium) where students perform their skills to live audiences on a professionally equipped stage, and the Pilgrim Theatre at 262 Pitt St, Sydney where many of AIM's theatre performances take place.[4]
There is a central student lounge area with Cafe, dedicated Performing Arts Library and multi-level classrooms across four buildings with 101 teaching spaces.[5]
Music High School[edit]
In addition, senior secondary facilities host AIM High,[6] a music High School. By combining traditional NSW HSC subjects together with either music performance or audio electives, students at AIM High obtain their senior secondary HSC educational qualification with a music focus.
Currently, subjects offered include: Music 1, Music 2 and extension, English Advanced and standard, Visual Arts, Dance, Drama, Mathematics, Modern History, Business Studies, Society and Culture, Information Processes and Technology.
In 1969 Dr Peter Calvo started a business called the Sydney Spanish Guitar Centre, which was incorporated in 1987 as a proprietary company limited by shares.[7] In 1989 it changed its name to the Australian Institute of Guitar Limited. Its constitution was amended so that it became a public company limited by shares and by guarantee. In 1991 it changed its name to The Australian Institute of Music (AIM) and was registered as a public company limited by shares. In 1996 AIM became an organisation eligible for tax deductibility of donations and listed on the Register of Cultural Organisations maintained under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth).
In 1989 AIM was accredited by the New South Wales Department of Education as a provider of tertiary courses providing a three‐year Diploma in Music. In 1995 it became accredited by the Department of Education for a four‐year Degree of Bachelor of Music.
In the early 2000s, AIM was registered as a Higher Education Provider. In fact AIM, since the early 2000s,had been operating robustly under its another internal sister corporate entity by the name of ' The Australian Institute of Management Sciences'. AIMS had since then been offering The Master of Arts Management's degree in Sydney and Asia in Singapore & Manila. It also ran MAM's degree via cyberspace i.e. online studies.
Virtual Students from as far as Europe and the Asia pacific region were enrolling for that MAM's degree courses fervently.
A few years later in 2005, AIM was in part sold to a new management & the new management decided to amalgamate that AIMS 'division' into AIM umbrella itself in running the MAM's degree.
After AIMS had been assimilated entirely into the new AIM corporate holdings, the new AIM management came to a decision to conduct the MAM's degree operating under AIM itself instead of going through the previously established AIMS division. Those years, AIMS was headed by Dr. Greg Whateley who was the Professor and Foundation Head. The AIMS'/ AIM's Master of Arts Management's degree was globally renowned for its unique MBA contents. This unique highly regarded MAM degree offered by AIMS/AIM had been gaining traction since the 2000s in attracting high caliber graduate students and working professionals globally in their quest to acquire and enhance their competencies in their professional career to the next level.
In 2006 AIM incorporated the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art (AADA) into its business entity. In 2007-2008, with the support of members of the theatre and education communities across Australia, AADA developed and submitted the Bachelor of Performance degree for accreditation to the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET). In 2009, AADA welcomed its first intake of Bachelor of Performance candidates.
In 2010 AIM was accredited by the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) to provide the Bachelor of Entertainment Management.
In 2009 AIM integrated its Q Studio recording facilities from Goulborn St Darlinghurst into its main campus at Foveaux St Surry Hills.
In 2011, AIM expanded its teaching facilities to include classrooms and accompanying staff areas at 72 Mary St, Surry Hills NSW.

Sky Sports understands Bristol City are leading the chase for Tom Heaton.
The 26-year-old is a free agent after leaving Cardiff City at the end of last season.
He had agreed terms with Watford over a move to Vicarage Road before the club's Italian takeover, which led to the deal falling through.
The former Manchester United man has attracted interest from a number of Premier League and Championship clubs.
And it is understood the Robins have opened talks with Heaton after he spent the last few days with the club in Spain.
Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton and Blackburn are also rumoured to be keeping tabs on his situation.

Leukoplakia is a disorder of the mouth's mucus membranes. White patches form on the tongue or inside of the mouth over weeks or months. This can also occur on the vulva in females, but for unknown reasons. One type, known as hairy leukoplakia, is a type found primarily in people who have HIV or other types of severe immune deficiency.
Hairy leukoplakia results from infection with the Epstein-Barr virus.
Leukoplakia usually results from irritants, such as:
- Pipe or cigarette smoking
- Chewing tobacco or snuff
- Rough teeth
- Rough places on dentures, fillings, or crowns
Risk Factors
Leukoplakia is more common in men after age 65. Other factors that may increase your chance of developing leukoplakia include:
- Tobacco use, especially smokeless tobacco
- Long-time alcohol use
- Having a weakened immune system such as from HIV
In women, the condition often develops into cancer.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Leukoplakia may cause:
Lesions on the tongue or gums, inside of the cheeks, or on the vulva
that is:
- White, gray, or red in color
- Thick, slightly raised, or hardened on the surface
- Sensitivity to touch, heat, or spicy foods
- Pain or other signs of infection
- Hairy leukoplakia is painless, with a fuzzy, white appearance
In some cases, leukoplakia looks like oral thrush, which is an infection also associated with HIV infection and lowered immune function.
In most cases, a dentist can diagnose leukoplakia with a mouth exam. To confirm a diagnosis or to check for cancer, an oral brush biopsy may be needed. This involves removing some cells with a small brush. It takes only minutes and is painless. A pathologist then checks these cells for signs of cancer. Sometimes the dentist or oral surgeon uses a scalpel to remove cells after numbing the area.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
- Removing the irritant—Quitting smoking or correcting dental problems often takes care of the problem.
- Removing patches—If the problem persists, or if signs of cancer are present, your dentist or doctor may need to remove patches of leukoplakia.
- Taking medication—For hairy leukoplakia, the doctor may prescribe antiviral medications, or a solution to apply to the skin.

Big data
Customs and Border Protection is increasing its data-collection efforts at the country's borders and ports. Photo by iodrakon / Shutterstock.com.
Customs and Border Protection officials said the agency's data-collection programs at travel and cargo hubs had gathered millions more records on people and goods in fiscal 2013 than they had in fiscal 2012.
In a year-end summary of its border and port security efforts, CBP said its officers processed more than 102 million international travelers at U.S. airports in 2013, an increase of 4 percent over 2012 numbers. In 2013, CBP officers processed a total of more than 360 million travelers at U.S. air, land and sea ports.
Beyond the raw numbers, CBP is showing a steady increase in its use of interconnected data-collection systems, which is helping it present a fuller picture of activity at borders and other points of entry.
The agency enrolled more than 1 million new members in its Trusted Traveler Programs, composed of the airport-based Global Entry system, the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection for those who frequently cross the U.S./Mexico border, Nexus for expedited crossings of the U.S./Canada border, and the Free and Secure Trade program for low-risk shipments entering the United States from Mexico and Canada. The programs expedite the processing of low-risk travelers and shipments through the use of pre-travel background checks.
Membership in the programs stood at more than 2.2 million by the end of the fiscal year, with more than 1 million in Global Entry.
In addition, CBP officials said they processed more than $2.3 trillion in trade and nearly 25 million cargo containers through the nation's ports of entry in fiscal 2013 -- a 1 percent increase from 2012.
The agency credited automation of its Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record with boosting security and saving an estimated $19 million annually in processing costs. The effort was part of CBP's Resource Optimization Strategy.
CBP is also partnering with the Canada Border Services Agency to electronically share entry information in real time on third-country nationals who cross the U.S./Canada border, under the joint Beyond the Border Action Plan established in 2011.
As a result of the data-exchange program, entry into one country serves as an exit from the other, filling a nagging gap in immigration documentation. According to CBP's report, the two countries have exchanged more than 2 million exit records under the program.
CBP said the effort will help the U.S. and Canada identify people who overstay their legal period of admission, better monitor the departure of people subject to removal orders, and verify that applicants are meeting residency requirements for continued eligibility in immigration programs.
The program's first phase, which began in 2012, enabled the exchange of biographical information -- such as name, country of origin, birth date and gender -- at a limited number of ports of entry. It began at four automated border-crossing/port sites: two Pacific Highway and Peace Arch crossings in British Columbia and Washington state; the bridge that links Lewiston, N.Y., and Queenston, Ontario; and the Rainbow Bridge that connects Niagara Falls, N.Y., with Niagara Falls, Ontario. Those ports and crossings typically have heavy traffic, especially among third-country nationals.
The second phase of the plan began in June 2013 and expanded the information exchange to include all major land-border crossings between the two countries.

Tourism Revealed: The Exploration of Snohomish County
Tourism Revealed is a free, interactive scavenger hunt featuring the best of Snohomish County, Washington. We've all seen someone who stands out as the stereotypical tourist. Disguise yourself as a local and participate in the missions to discover Snohomish County. Access cases and clues leading to objects and locations around Snohomish County. Print off our Clues on the Go, the locations and clues to the cases that you can carry with you wherever you go. Or, just open it up on your phone or tablet and save some trees!
If you'd like to enter the grand prize drawing, take a photo of yourself at the locations listed in the mission for two entries, or to any business or location in Snohomish County that fits within the current theme for one entry. Example: the theme is Arts, Culture & History, so snap a pic of yourself at your favorite museum, art gallery, at the theatre, etc. in Snohomish County! This is your evidence. Submit your evidence by sharing the photo on Tourism Revealed's Facebook page, or share on Twitter and tag us @tourismrevealed.
Or, photograph yourself at one of the locations currently offering discounts, visit that businesses' coupon page on Tourism Revealed and upload the photo there. Any photos uploaded directly to Tourism Revealed's website will count for two entries in the grand prize drawing! Tourism Revealed will confirm the evidence and mark the case complete. You do not need to participate in the grand prize drawing in order to receive the deals—the coupons are available for all Tourism Revealed participants!
For those that don't mind standing out, print off our magnifying glass to model with in your photos. Because really, what's a detective without a magnifying glass? The more evidence you submit, the better chance you have at winning the grand prize given every other month.
And lastly, stay connected! Together, let's explore Snohomish County!
