well i purchased two 5g ficus nitida trees a month ago and two days later pulled out my back. i kept hoping and hoping i'd get better but the weeks rolled by and the temperatures continued to rise. now i have two 9ft trees that i've been babying on my covered patio and trying not to let the heat burn the roots. i'm feeling much better now and should be able to dig their holes in the next few days. but now that we're above 100F would this be a death sentence? the trees are too big for their containers so i either need to transplant them into larger containers and plan to put them in the yard after summer has passed, or put them in the ground now (both in full sun locations). any help is appreciated. |

Well you're on the horns of a dilemma aren't you? It's a tough choice. I've planted true heat lovers like oleanders and lantana in June, July and even August and had total success, but it's a risk. If you decide to do it, make sure the foliage on your plants has been accustomed to full sun while you've been babying it. If not, it can easily sunburn even from just a month in partial or mostly shade. Obviously keeping them very, very well and deeply watered is critical. If it was me, I'd do it, but I'm a gambling man and I don't have any out of town trips planned any time soon, so I can be home to water frequently and keep an eye on drip irrigation. Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out. Good luck. Sorry about your back, too, that's never good. Take care, |
well i tried to acclimate the trees in a few hours of morning sun for the past few days and they dont like it. i'm not sure if it's the heat on the leaves, trunk, or the fact that they're sitting in the black container they came home from the store in. either way, they dropped some leaves, too many for me to feel comfortable in continuing. so instead i'll be repotting them in white 5g buckets (about the same size as the 15g nursery containers) which i drilled drainage holes into and placing them on the north side of my house until mid-september. i plan to fertilize lightly, and water daily so i dont lose any potential growth during this growing season. i'll post new pics in a few months when i get them into the ground for good :) |

If you can, wait until the humidity goes up in July. Our second-best planting season is the summer rainy season. |

Good luck and keep us posted. I was thinking that the only way I'd plant them is if they were already fully and continuously acclimated to full sun, otherwise it's hard to get them accustomed to it this time of year. Sounds like you've got a good plan. Good luck and take good care of that back! |
good thing i waited on planting them, i just noticed two little wren-sized birds have claimed one of them as their home for the time being lol. and since moving them to the north side they seem to be flourishing with lots of new lime green growth :) i love ficus |

everyone - need keel solution
The smart assed answer is to track down the leaks, repair from the exterior and take the boat to Florida to use or sell!!
Reading between the lines, you haul the boat in the winter and expose the now wet ballast to freeze/thaw cycles further exacerbating the problem.
The elegant fix is a modified #6. The lead has a unit weight nearing 700#/CF. It won''t take near the volume or total weight of lead to replace the 90#/CF sand (You can concentrate the higher weight lead lower in the keel structure yielding an equivalent righting moment). With a little effort and a little engineering calculation you can design the lead ballast to provide the equivalent righting moment. Fix the leaks, install the lead, secure with epoxy. In capping the lead in the bilge area, you should end up with a deeper bilge because of the lead/sand conversion. Be sure this area is dewatered during dry storage.
Now, all this is a lot of work. But any of your fixes (save the scuttling option) will be a lot of labor with a relatively small material cost. I can see the overlay work related to trunk repairs will be difficult due to access for surface preparation and laminating. Not mentioned in all this is the new set of skills required to cast lead, epoxy overlaying and epoxy grouting.
The "let it drain" option seems flawed because you don''t know if the current breach is at the low point of the ballast cavity. It will still be subject to freeze/thaw.
How much do you want to have a "bonding" experience with your Irwin?

Can 'Cooperation' bring peace to Northern Ireland?
Violence continues in Northern Ireland, offical and unofficial observers in both England and Ireland argue, at least in part because money, guns, and -- most important -- moral support continue to flow from Irish Americans in the United States.
Now a private Irish organization, Cooperation North, has launched a nonpolitical, nondenominational, and nongovernmental campaign to give Irish- Americans a better understanding of the situation in that troubled land.
In Chicago between stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and Washington, Cooperation North chairman Brendan O'Regan told the Monitor: "We will have violence in Ireland until there is a change in viewpoint here in the United States."
Because Irish-Americans have prospered and outnumber the 4.5 million Northern and Southern Irish 5 to 1, says Dr. O'Regan, "Whatever is endorsed here tends to be perpetuated over there, even though 95 percent or more of the people of Ireland reject violence as a solution to our problem "
Two years after it was started in Dublin with funds provided by leading Northern and Sourthern banks and industries, Cooperation North has made steady progress. It set out first to document existing economic and social cooperation between North and South -- and then to find ways to increase this cooperation.
Surprising many of the groups he meets with the US, O'Regan points out that cooperation has continued throughtout the worst of the violence. Many trade unions, churches, sporting groups, banks, industries, and professional bodies operate on an all-Ireland basis. Cooperation North has helped increase this contact through "twinning" town, arranging exchange tours for a wide variety of groups, promoting lower air fares between North and South, and encouraging North-South trade.
These reconciliation efforts, says O'Regan, all build on " the concept that we should be good neighbors on our island." He believes that "the more reconciliation of differences we achieve outside the political arena, the easier it will become for the politicians to work together in the future.

When Megan Dills went to Bloomington, Ind., to watch her favorite team, Kentucky, play basketball in December, she never envisioned how that game would impact her life.
She was knocked down when Indiana fans stormed the court after the 73-72 victory and injured her ankle so severely that it caused her to miss work. However, the story was picked up not only nationally, but also internationally because she happened to also be a Playboy model.
Now she says there's "probably no way†she cannot be in Atlanta Friday when UK and Indiana play again — this time in the NCAA Tournament South Region.
"I am beyond words. I am so excited,†she said Sunday via telephone from her home in northern Kentucky. "I don't see how I could not go to the game. I think our boys are hot for this game and have hated watching that replay (on ESPN of the game-winning shot at Indiana by Christan Watford).
"I want them to smoke them. Not just win, but shut down Watford. I want to see Terrence Jones dunk on his head. That is what I am envisioning. I am pumped. I do not want to say too much on Twitter or Facebook this week, but I am ready for that game now.â€
She says her fall at Indiana has led to a lot of "really positive outcomes.†She was on a nationally syndicated show talking about the danger of fans storming the court. She went to Rupp Arena to write a column for the NationofBlue.com, an internet site devoted to UK sports, and had a story also appear on Playboy's website. She's been on various radio talk shows.
"I have a lot more friends in Big Blue Nation now. There are a lot more folks I associate with and meet for games,†Dills, who was in Louisville Saturday to watch Kentucky beat Iowa State while Indiana was eliminating Virginia Commonwealth in Portland, Ore.
"But on the other hand, there are a lot of people who dislike me, including some Kentucky fan. Unfortunately, when you put Playboy with anything, there's such a negative connotation for some.
"But the hate has not overwhelmed the love and support. It has given me a platform where I can speak more vocally about our program and players. I never planned on this story going so big, but it's good that it did. It opened so many avenues for me, including going to Rupp Arena as a guest writer and seeing what all goes on behind the scenes.â€
She's currently working on a new reality show that is being filmed in Kentucky.
"I actually wore blue the first day we filmed because it was a Kentucky game day,†she said. "You will definitely see me in blue and some 3 goggles up.â€
She expects to see a lot of blue in Atlanta Friday, too.
"I want our fans to come to Atlanta and show how a fan base is supposed to be and supposed to act. I know it will be house of blue. We are going to take over the Georgia Dome,†Dills said. "It would be easy for me to want to say and chant bad things at Indiana, but I won't do that. Our boys will have our backs and take care of things on the court and we have enough dignity not to rush the court after beating Indiana.
"I had an amazing time at Louisville Saturday. I didn't sit down. I was part of (Murray) Racer nation and was screaming so much that game I almost lost my voice before the Kentucky game. I was so proud of Murray, too, even though they lost (to Marquette).â€
She also enjoyed meeting two fans from Michigan who were in town on business and bought tickets to the game.
"They had never seen anything like our fans and I got to tell them about all the mind-boggling parts of being a UK fan,†she said.
She admits fans sometimes now stop her because they recognize her and she has to re-tell the Indiana story.
"I have become so much aware of what happens when fans storm the court or field and how really dangerous it is,†Dills said. "Mine was just a simple injury and some people, especially some Indiana fans, made fun of it. But our players, or even their players, on the court could have been hurt and a lot of them hopefully are going on to be pro players. But now all I want to see is our boys walking off the court with a win. That will mean a lot more than any December win.â€

Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance
Sell sell sell (479 comments)
Any shares you have in Nokia.
They put an ex-Microsoftie in charge of a consumer electronics company. I'd laugh if it wasn't such a tragedy.
QT will be taken out and shot as soon as possible. Here's how it will happen: Microsoft will offer Nokia a Business Development Agreement which lets Nokia get discounts off the price they pay for operating system licences. The discounts will be related to Nokia doing one of a number of 'entirely voluntary' (hence not illegally coerced) things. Things like enhancing QT in some way to make it compatible with some pointless and unused feature of Windows PhoneOS. After a few of these it will be cheaper to just kill QT.
Then KDE will be screwed.
Any guesses how long Symbian will last?

Just a simple screen in the skin menu where you are able to see how skins look on character models in-game. This would allieve buyer's remorse if the skin they purchase doesn't look the way they thought it would.

Anybody else have an opinion on this? I think it would be a wonderful addition to just be able to see the modelers work without having to purchase the skin first to view it.

This is the Van that Daddy Cleaned by Lisa Campbell Ernst
The family car; one day it's clean and the next, the sparkle is gone. But isn't that part of the fun? Ernst has created an entertaining tale about the family car and all that it experiences. The story starts with the father who has just finished cleaning the family van. And each following page introduces a new dynamic to the car and to the travels it takes. All too soon, the car is once again ready to be cleaned. Though, this time it is the kids turn to help.
The story is framed in a rhyme that builds on itself making each page a fun memory game. Children will be able to follow the story and repeat everything that has already happened. This allows for the reading dynamic to change into a fun sing-song activity. Those reading the story aloud are able to create a game out of the book to see what the listeners can remember, which means this book is perfect for large group reading. In a smaller setting, this book is wonderful as well. Families can read the book and enjoy parallels to their own lives and family car. Even better, children can learn how important it is to help clean up messes they make, the importance of working as a group, and most importantly how fun it can be to accomplish a goal and help their parents!
This is the Van that Dad Cleaned is great for lower elementary and preschool students who are ready for a humorous, charming, and very relatable rhyming tale.

The Happy Lion by Louise Fatio, illus. by Roger Duvoisin
This classic tale, brought to life by husband-wife duo, was inspired by a true story from the 1950s. The happy lion of the story has been a part of children's literature for more than 50 years and it is clear why. This is an endearing tale of a lion that has many friends when he is in his home at the zoo, yet finds his friends react differently when he takes an adventure outside of the comfort of his zoo home. Children will enjoy the wonderful images of story that feature a simple color palette and wonderful style of sketch illustrations.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the story is the great lesson children can take away from the story; to not be afraid of those who are different. The town learns to not fear the lion when a little boy approaches him and shows that the furry creature was simply looking for company and friendship. Happiness can come from the most curiously different situations and Fatio has created a story that will show readers just that.
This book is wonderful for lower and middle elementary school students. The story is simple and easy to understand with great big illustrations that are good for large or small group reading. Children will have a roaring good time with The Happy Lion!

What Happens When… by Delphine Chedru
We all have those moments when we wonder "what would happen, if…" Delphine Chedru has done a wonderful job of illustrating the after effect of silly situations in which kids find themselves and those that families experience in everyday life. From balloons floating away from a hand and a lonely bucket left on a beach, to what a teacher does for summer vacation, this book provides entertaining answers.
One wonderful quality about this book is the opportunity it provides for interaction. The pages are cleverly designed to conceal Chedru's answer to her "What If…" questions until the reader flips open the opposite page's fold-out. Readers can create their own solutions and fantastic tales to answer the questions the author poses before or after seeing the solution the author provides herself. The scenarios are all so relatable and even provide comfort for children who have experienced things like losing a balloon or leaving a toy behind.
This book is ideal for a group setting because it can spark wonderful, creative discussions among children listening and can easily be used for lower elementary and preschool groups who are learning to stretch their imaginations. Similarly, this book is great for one-on-one or personal reading where the same kind of imagination and creativity can be used.

Photographs in the Mud by Dianne Wolfer, illus. by Brian Harrison-Lever
Dianne Wolfer walked the Kokoda Track in 2002 and was inspired to write this picture book exploration of the complications of war after interviewing veterans. This book is recommended for older children and adults as it deals with violent and difficult themes. Photographs in the Mud follows the lives of both an Australian and Japanese solider during World War II during battles in Papua New Guinea. Wolfer and Brian Harrison-Lever balance both sides by giving the reader information about Jack, the Australian solider, and Hoshi, the Japanese soldier, and their families back home. Eventually, both men are injured in battle and lay beside each other. They share their photographs, but will they both be able to make it through the night?
The delicate, realistic pencil drawings contrast the horrors of the tale while giving life to the characters. Red paint splatters the page when both men are injured. This book is a chilling dedication to the men who fought in World War II along the Kokoda Track. Wolfer and Harrison-Lever finish the book with an inscription that can now be found along the track, "They are not dead; not even broken; Only their dust has gone back home to earth/For they; the essential they, shall have rebirth/Whenever a word of them is spoken."

Dewdney writes, "Every night and every day, Daddy makes it all OK. He always knows just what to do…Nelly's Daddy, Daddy Gnu." The colorful illustrations help to drive the story, but the love between the father and daughter as they work towards a common goal make this a book worth reading.

Not a Stick by Antoinette Portis
This imaginative little book highlights the contrast between what adults and children see by alternating between the perspectives of an adult looking on and a little pig with a stick and a powerful imagination. Every other right-hand page pictures the pig holding a stick opposite an adult injunction: "Hey, be careful with that stick." The rest show him as he sees himself, holding a fishing pole, baton, paintbrush, etc., opposite his increasingly insistent "It's not a stick." Although the line drawing illustrations are extremely spare, the layout, with solid-color left-hand pages, gives the book a stylish look. It recalls the classic Harold and the Purple Crayon. This title will pair well with Lily Brown's Paintings, another book about an imaginative child. Not a Stick is perfect for a preschool storytime for a small audience. It will be most enjoyed by children ages three to five. The author and illustrator, Antoinette Portis also produced Not a Box.

Babies Can't Eat Kimchee by Nancy Patz, illus. by Susan L. Roth
In this charming book about having a new baby in the family, a new big sister, frustrated with the baby's limitations, dreams of everything she'll do with her baby when she's big enough. She plans to teach the baby important things like how to walk, how to look both ways at the corner, and how to lick up ice cream drips. She imagines singing songs with the baby. Getting carried away she asks, "Baby, do you want me to teach you a song?" The following double-page spread makes the baby's displeasure abundantly clear: strips of brightly colored paper shoot violently over the page. On one side is a small drawing of the baby with a wide-open mouth, dwarfed by the volume of her screams. The illustrations are done in collage, ink, and oil pastels with riotous color and texture on every page. This book is perfect for a preschool storytime on siblings or new babies. There are many great books on these themes; two are Katy Duck: Big Sister and Yum Yum, Baby Bundt. The author, Nancy Patz, is also an artist. Her paintings have been shown at the Baltimore Museum of Art, among other places. Illustrator Susan L. Roth has illustrated many books of Native American folk tales.

Slugs in Love by Susan Pearson, illus. by Kevin O'Malley
Marylou is a lovesick slug. Love poems for Herbie, the object of her affection, fill her mind day and night. Although she's too shy to talk to him in person, she begins writing her poems in slime where Herbie will be sure to see them. Herbie, intrigued, responds in kind, but his poems keep vanishing before Marylou can find them. When they finally meet, their first words to each other are also in rhyme. The illustrations, done in marker and colored pencil and enhanced in Photoshop, add to the slugs' vibrant personalities. Though they all look essentially the same (a source of confusion for Herbie, who doesn't know what Marylou looks like), they can be identified by their jaunty headgear. Marylou wears bows around her eyestocks, Herbie wears a baseball cap, and various other slugs wear fedoras, kerchiefs, etc. This book is perfect for a Kindergarten storytime, and will be enjoyed especially by kids aged four to eight. Listeners will delight in the gross-out quality of the slimy slugs and laugh at the clever poetry. The author, Susan Pearson, grew up in part in Newport News. Illustrator Kevin O'Malley also illustrated the Miss Malarkey series. Readers who like Slugs in Love will also enjoy another funny book about leaving notes, Click Clack Moo: Cows that Type.

But what will happen to Cornelius when no one has anything left to complain about?

The first mortgage can be difficult to care for alone. Finding the right information can help you create a wise decision when trying to find out what can be a fair amount to pay for a mortgage loan. Use this information to have the most advantageous terms possible.
Predatory lenders are still in the industry. These lenders usually take advantage of home buyers with under perfect credit. They offer low or no down payments however, the rates of interest are exceedingly high. Additionally, these lenders often refuse to use the homeowner should problems arise later on.
Usually do not waste time in your house mortgage process. After you've submitted a home financing application on the lender, this is the time your clock start ticking. You must send any necessary documents to the application process quickly. Any delays could destroy a cost and get you your deposit. Have an expected closing date, after which keep in touch with the financial institution periodically until your loan closes. Some lenders close quicker than the others.
Double verify if your home's value has declined any before making any new mortgage applications. Meanwhile, you may not see any significant changes at your residence, your bank may see stuff that can change your home's value, often causing a declined application.
Before you go in to get a mortgage, know your credit ranking. You need to arm yourself with all the intel at the same time, even though your potential lender is going to do their very own homework with this. Knowledge is power regarding the negotiations to go by. In the event you aren't clear on your own strengths and weaknesses, then the lender can quicker utilize the knowledge against you.
Why has your house gone down in value? The financial institution posseses an entirely different view, although the home may look exactly the same or preferable to you.
Balloon mortgages are some of the easier ones to have approved for. Such loans have shorter terms, plus they require the existing balance be refinanced upon expiration of this initial term. This may be risky because rates my increase during that time, or perhaps your financial picture may deteriorate.
Check if the financing you happen to be trying to get can be a fixed rate or adjustable rate loan. Generally adjustable rate loans offer lower interest levels however, the rate of interest can increase as time passes. With the adjustable rate loan, your monthly interest can increase yearly thus costing you additional money in the long run.
Realize that Good Faith estimates usually are not binding. These estimates are made to provide you with a good plan of the your mortgage will cost. It ought to include titlepoints and insurance, and appraisal fees. Although this can be used information to figure out a financial budget, lenders usually are not required to give you a mortgage loan depending on that estimate.
Before applying for any mortgage, whittle down the number of credit cards you possess. Having a bunch of them, regardless of the debt amount, may make you seem financially irresponsible. You will definitely get better rates in your mortgage in case you have only a few a credit card.
When rates are near the the base, you should consider investing in a home. You ought to at least try should you not assume that you will be eligible for a a mortgage. Having your own house is probably the best investments you could make. Quit throwing away money into rent and strive to get a mortgage and own your home.
You may be so interested in receiving a new home that you venture out and start buying a variety of furniture. Except if you are purchasing the furniture in cash, you should hold off with this. You don't would like to open any lines of credit or make any large purchases until after the loan is closed.
Be honest when it comes to reporting your financials to your potential lender. Odds are the reality can come out in their vetting process anyway, so it's not worth wasting the time. Of course, if your mortgage does undergo anyway, you'll be saddled with a house you actually can't afford. It's a lose/lose in either case.
Never imagine that a mortgage loan will probably just get a home for yourself outright. Most lenders will require that you chip in a down payment. According to the lender, this can be between 5 percent to your full fifth from the total home value. Ensure you have this saved up.
You need to have the correct paperwork ready beforehand for any lender. Look well prepared. You'll need to have a copy of the pay stubs going back at least two paychecks, your last year's W-2 forms as well as a copy of last year's tax return. You'll also require your bank statements. Prior to the lender asks, get those together.
Pay your mortgage down faster to free up money in the future. Pay a little bit more on a monthly basis if you have a little extra savings. Once you spend the money for extra on a monthly basis, make sure to permit the bank understand the over-payment is made for the main. You do not desire them to get it for the interest.
Try not to take a mortgage for the complete amount you can afford. By taking the complete maximum, you won't have much money left as a cushion whenever your payments come due. If anything unexpected arises, you might land in a real pickle should you be spending the most each month.
Now you know what it takes to obtain a mortgage which fits your needs, you must get right down to work and practice it. Stick to the steps presented here and initiate your planning process. Quickly enough, you'll get a great lender who is offering an excellent rate along with your job will likely be done. Buying The House Of Your Dreams In Almost Any Real Estate Market

Tempur-Pedic Updates Full Year Guidance And Comments On Second Quarter 2012
PR Newswire
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 6, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, today commented on second quarter performance and updated its financial guidance for 2012.
The Company noted that second quarter sales to date in North America have been below the Company's plan. Although the Company does not ordinarily provide quarterly guidance, the Company is providing an outlook for the second quarter. The Company currently expects net sales for the second quarter ending June 30, 2012 to be 3-5% below last year's second quarter net sales, driven by the expectation that the Company's North American sales will decline approximately 8% year-over-year. With lower than planned sales and associated deleverage, the Company currently expects second quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share to decrease approximately 50% from the second quarter of 2011.
Based on the second quarter outlook and an updated full year review, the Company currently expects full year net sales to be approximately $1.43 billion. In addition, the Company is updating its full year earnings guidance and currently expects diluted earnings per share to be approximately $2.70.
Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams commented, "In light of the current environment for North American sales, our guidance assumes that North American sales for the third and fourth quarters will each be approximately equal to the second quarter sales factoring in modest seasonality. Our international business continues to perform well and we have made no substantive changes to our expectations for international sales."
The Company notes that its expectations for the second quarter of 2012 and the full year are based on information available at the time of this release and the assumptions described above, and are subject to changing conditions, many of which are outside the Company's control.
Chief Executive Officer Mark Sarvary commented, "Sales trends in our North America business during the second quarter have been disappointing and below plan, primarily due to changes in the competitive environment, including an unprecedented number of new competitive product introductions which have been supported by aggressive marketing and promotion. As a result, we are projecting lower sales than previously anticipated for the rest of the year and are taking actions to realign our expense structure appropriately. However, we remain very confident in our Company's growth potential and our strong brand, and as a result remain committed to our long-term strategic plan."
Conference Call Information
The Company has scheduled a conference call with Chief Executive Officer Mark Sarvary and Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams to discuss its current outlook today, June 6, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (5:00 a.m. Pacific Time).

Re:This is why... (317 comments)
Fundamental atheists are a strawman.
Re:Hit them back (783 comments)
In that situation, you probably would be paying 100 times more for your car, food and house. Because they're nicer. You see, if you have more money, you're going to get more benefit from it.
The guy who is earning 10000 a year might get a welfare check and foodstamps for his taxes, as well as some environmental and health protection. At 1000000 a year you'd be getting police protection of your stuff, military protection of your assets and investments, political power (that comes nearly free by virtue of just having the money), subsidies for your investments or business, the kind of stability that allows your business to even function, etc.
The other guy is likely to be hassled by the cops as much as protected by them. He has no foreign investments that require a powerful military and diplomatic structure for protection. A much smaller military would be sufficient to prevent invasion. Most of all any benefits that keep him alive and not starving are keeping your workers alive and well and not rioting outside your door. Like someone else around here said, taxes buy civilisation.
Re:Let's get this straight (275 comments)
Correction: Bankers tell politicians how to tell bankers how to bank, and bankers tell politicians how to tell car makers how to run car companies.
And we're not the ones they're saying should tone down the rhetoric - they're saying the politicians should tone down the rhetoric.

Re:Lemme check my calendar... (973 comments)
They had legal drugs in Brave New World. We don't have eugenics and hate is a primary political tool. Also, we've got boots stomping on heads and all that (Tim Profitt at the Rand Paul rally). Sounds much more like 1984 to me!
Re:Put your money where your mouth is (138 comments)
I did - I picked up a 5770 this time around. It's my first ATI (AMD) card ever. The other ones have been Nvidia and I think there was a 3dfx in there somewhere. I suppose I should send them a letter letting them know why I switched as well.
Re:Logic Fail (382 comments)
How does the existence of the Tea Party illustrate that people are missing basic logic tools?....The basic point is that the government cannot continue to spend more than it takes in indefinitely without a collapse at some point. Raising taxes does not solve the problem.
The fact that you take this idiotic statement as a gospel truth -as indicated by the certainty with which you write it- illustrates the problem. If the rest of them think like that (and it seems they do) then you have proved GP's point. The first part is correct, sure, but the second statement wouldn't be worth responding to if it weren't such a depressingly common "fact".
Re:Survival? (272 comments)
The point GP is making is that many of those diseases cause people or animals to act/move/look slightly "off", and noticing that was key to avoiding them and avoiding infection. The rabid person doesn't look normal. It's not so much a physical thing, it's a behavior thing which still plays into "appearance". It's perfectly natural that a revulsion reaction would be an evolutionary defense for this.
Likewise computer animations are often slightly "off" in the same way - the muscle groups may not work together like they should, or reactions may not be what we expect, or slower than usual.
Re:Should be interesting... (760 comments)
Thanks to the 'Citizens United' decision, there's nothing non-US-citizens and indeed completely foreign entities from contributing to certain campaigns, nevermind voting on a blog. The Saudis can legally pay for campaign ads now. What a wonderful time to be alive....
Re:Seriously? (1352 comments)
Friending you for having the patience to write that out. All true, of course.
Re:home use? (270 comments)
Fuel is free. Capital and maintenance costs are something that another power plant would have, in addition to fuel costs.
Indication (90 comments)
I think this is a pretty good indication that the general public would like faster access to the internet, despite the telcos' claiming that people are pretty satisfied. I for one welcome our multiplexing digital overlords, and would like to remind them that I'm not interested in cloud services until I get at least 2 9s of at least 10Mbps connectivity with overall uptime of 4 9s or so.
Re:Partisan politics sucks. (1505 comments)
I think this is unconstitutional only if most other laws in this country are. I happen to disagree with the SCOTUS on a number of issues, not that they care. Thing is, the rest of the unconstitutional laws aren't going to get declared unconstitutional so why should we pick on this one to invalidate, unless we can replace it with single-payer or at least a public option? Let's invalidate the laws that actually hurt people first, and then if we can make it down the list to this one it can go too.
The rationale that it's a tax that is credited to you if you decide to buy insurance is hardly unprecedented, and under current interpretation of the law not unconstitutional. Since legally the opinion of the SCOTUS is the only one that matters I don't see this getting overturned.

First, here is an instructional document to show you how to make backups of your system:
HP PCs - Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
The News about Windows 8 Support from HP:
Systems built prior to 1-October-2011, for the most part, will not be on the list of those tested by HP for Windows 8 drivers. The documents below explain what this means and why this is important to you.
This is your computer's webpage:
HP Pavilion dv6-6100se Entertainment Notebook PC
This is the Test Link:
Windows 8 Upgrade – HP Tested Systems Check
This is the Upgrade Assistant that can help determine "the good and the bad" news:
HP Notebook PCs - Upgrading to Windows 7 Using the HP Upgrade Assistant
This is the Important Upgrade Document that you should read prior to upgrading:
Notebooks - Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8
The fact is that you can upgrade regardless - people do it all the time -- and sometimes it works out. You have to work harder at making it work when there is not the driver support for Windows 8 and somethings may not work no matter what. What you decide depends on your skill level, your depth of commitment, and your patience.
If you have an Image of your Windows 7 system -- maybe a couple of image backups -- you can upgrade and then just back out if it doesn't work for you.
Read what the documents say, do some searches on what people here on the forum say (those who have upgraded without driver support), and decide what you want to do. Things that do not work easily might include: switchable graphics, sound, various external programs, Bluetooth.
Good Luck!
