On new HP EliteBook series (8460p and 8560p) is preinstalled HP Linux distribution call HP QuickWeb (v3). This distribution is booting only when notebook is started with Web button on keyboard (instead power button). I found way how to boot this Linux distribution from Grub2. My investigation how HP firmware booting QuickWeb:
1. Find first FAT32 partition with label HP_TOOLS. First GPT then BIOS/MBR type.
2. Check if partition has file Hewlett-Packard/QuickWeb/oprom.bin which is syslinux in NTLDR bootloader format. This bootloader is signed (file Hewlett-Packard/QuickWeb/oprom.S09) and HP firmware show error if signature is not valid.
3. NTLDR oprom.bin bootloader (syslinux) then will read config file Hewlett-Packard/QuickWeb/qw.cfg (classic syslinux configuration file)
4. It will load kernel image /hewlett-packard/quickweb/kern and initrd image /hewlett-packard/quickweb/init.gz and boot it.
I was talking with HP support (instant chat) and they told me that QuickWeb is EFI application. But I was not able to boot it in EFI. There is no EFI application and oprom.bin is NTLDR bootloader (maybe windows EFI bootloader can boot NTLDR bootloader so HP support think that it is EFI ).
There is one problem that bootloader or kernel does not support GPT partitions (but HP firmware support it). So HP_TOOLS must be BIOS/MBR or GPT Hybrid type. I spend a lot of time until I find out this.
I do not have installed any Windows and I want to try HP QuickWeb without installing Windows. I backuped original HP_TOOLS parition (default factory image) and I see that this image contains working HP QuickWeb distribution. I wrote above steps to grub2 and then grub2 was able to boot QuickWeb too (not needed to start notebook with web button instead power!)
Working fine option which boot oprom.bin ntldr bootloader and also working option to boot directly kernel (with initrd) image (see qw.cfg).
Here is grub2 script which is called when generating grub.cfg. Save it to /etc/grub.d/42_hp_quickweb and make it executable.
Code:#!/bin/sh -e # HP QuickWeb is Linux distribution preinstalled on some HP notebooks. # HP notebooks firmware will search for first BIOS/MBR FAT32 partition # with label HP_TOOLS and try to boot ntldr bootloader saved in # Hewlett-Packard/QuickWeb/oprom.bin (typicaly it is syslinux in ntldr # format). This bootloader is signed oprom.S09 so cannot be modified. # HP QuickWeb kernel does not have support for GPT so HP_TOOLS partition # must be BIOS/MBR or hybrid GPT - this is why we use part_msdos LABEL="HP_TOOLS" NTLDR="Hewlett-Packard/QuickWeb/oprom.bin" # Find device which has HP_TOOLS label if which blkid 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then DEVICE="$(blkid -o device -t LABEL=$LABEL 2>/dev/null)" || exit 0 elif test -h /dev/disk/by-label/$LABEL; then DEVICE="$(readlink -f /dev/disk/by-label/$LABEL 2>/dev/null)" || exit 0 fi DEVICE="$(echo $DEVICE | head -n1)" test "$DEVICE" = "" && exit 0 # Find mountpoint (or mount temporary) and check if ntldr loader exists MOUNT="$(mount | grep $DEVICE | cut -d' ' -f3)" if test "$MOUNT" = ""; then MOUNT="/tmp/$LABEL" mkdir -p $MOUNT mount $DEVICE $MOUNT -t vfat 2>/dev/null || exit 0 test -f "$MOUNT/$NTLDR" || exit 0 umount $DEVICE 2>/dev/null || true else test -f "$MOUNT/$NTLDR" || exit 0 fi echo "Found HP QuickWeb ($NTLDR) on $LABEL ($DEVICE)" >&2 cat << EOF menuentry "HP QuickWeb" { insmod part_msdos insmod fat insmod ntldr search --no-floppy --label --set=root $LABEL ntldr /$NTLDR } EOF

"In May 2001, Microsoft undertook a project code-named Longhorn, which was expected to ship in late 2003 under the name Windows Vista. Executives had a number of objectives for Longhorn, including competing with the free operating system called Linux by supporting a programming language named C#, which allowed for easier development of other software; creating a Windows File System, or WinFS, which could save different types of files into a single database; and creating a display system, code-named Avalon, that would give software the same appearance as a Web site.
As development took off, Microsoft engineers dumped a grab bag of functions into Longhorn. Huge teams were assigned to the effort, but despite all the work, the launch was postponed again and again. The program took as long as 10 minutes to boot up. It was unstable and frequently crashed.
Then, in June 2004, Steve Jobs announced that Apple was releasing its new operating system, called Tiger. And inside Microsoft, jaws dropped. Tiger did much of what was planned for Longhornexcept that it worked.
E-mails flew around Microsoft, expressing dismay about the quality of Tiger. To executives disbelief, it contained functional equivalents of Avalon and WinFS.
It was fucking amazing, wrote Lenn Pryor, part of the Longhorn team. It is like I just got a free pass to Longhorn land today.
Vic Gundotra, another member of the group, tried out Tiger. Their Avalon competitor (core video, core image) was hot, he wrote. I have the cool widgets (dashboard) running on my MAC right now with all the effects [Jobs] showed on stage. Ive had no crashes in 5 hours.
The videoconferencing function? Amazing, Gundotra wrote. Scripting software? Very cool.
The Gundotra e-mail was sent to executives throughout Microsoft headquarters, including Allchin. He forwarded it to Gates and Ballmer, adding his name and one word: Sigh
Longhorn was doomed"
Thats funny! also the part: "including competing with the free operating system called Linux" They try to compete with Linux and Mac-OS beat them completely..
And I think in the same time Linux was also much better.

Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story
The story of Jonathan Netanyahu is an intimate journey into a young hero's mind. The narration for this compelling journey will be drawn from Jonathan Netanyahu's own letters and words, which unveil the complex character of this thoroughly modern young hero. Jonathan's words are deeply moving through his deep-rooted introspection, self-understanding, and heartfelt passions.Jonathan Netanyahu's American/Israeli adolescent life took a dramatic turn when he entered the Israeli military at the age of eighteen. His thoughts and worry turned from relationships and girls to guns and nationalism. Through his bravery and selflessness on the battlefield, he was recognized as a national hero. However, Jonathan questioned the core value of war. Obsessed with his duty to his young country, he put aside his personal life and feelings, resulting in a failed marriage. Years later, Jonathan would find love again and vow to change his life's course... but it was not meant to be, as his life was suddenly cut down on the airstrip in Entebbe, Uganda.

The Fit Expert
Chad from our Vancouver (Gastown) store says:
These can fit up to a half size large but it's a beautiful shoe and a great heel height.
More Colours
On November 8th, 1946 beauty school & salon owner Viola Desmond was arrested for sitting in the white-patron only seating in the segregated Roseland Theatre in Nova Scotia. Viola was forcibly removed from the theatre, jailed overnight, and convicted of tax evasion for not paying the one cent difference for the black seating in the balcony. Viola contested the court decisions and after the Nova Scotian court upheld the decision against her, Viola closed her beauty shop and eventually moved out of Canada. Viola's courageous protest was the first significant step in equal rights for all, and helped spark The Canadian Civil Rights Movement.
We celebrate and honour Viola by naming this striking and confident pump after her - a pump that will walk with you throughout the day and into the night. With options of shiny metallics, glossy patents, supple floral patterns, painted bovine hair leathers, or supersaturated waxy canvas uppers built on foot molding leather soles, The Desmond Pump uses modern materials on a classic style. John gave the super-pointed Big Presence last a little lift with a diamond shaped 2.75" canvas wrapped heel with swooping curves, giving this simple pump an unusually distinctive profile. If you put the Desmond pumps sole-to-sole, and heel-to-heel, John leaves you with a lasting impression straight from his heart. Present yourself well.

Avoid the Black Canvas
Outstanding comfort and style
OMG Love them. So many comments on them.
5 pairs and a spare!
Fantastic shoe
I wish Fluevog could do more heigh heels like those.
All my Fluvogs are the same size; own about 15 different styles - from heigh heels to boot.
Disappointed with the floral shoes; one bland, one scratched sole
I love these shoes
Finally, a Coffee family lover has another love!
Size 8 fits me (as do 8's in Bellevues and Coffees)
Great shoes but too small; horrible transaction
A classic!
A classic!
A classic!
Really hot pair of shoes!
Desmond [Cheetah Print] -- Runs large :(
Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, they ran large and my size, being the smallest made in this colour (?!), meant the otherwise match made in heaven could not work for me (even with insole). I had to return them. And am left envious of any who can find their fit.
Dear John, PLEASE correct the sizing issues or offer the Cheetah in a 35.
Runs a bit big.
Nice shoes but...
So light...walking on air
Gone Fluevogging
Kick off your boring heels and choose the Desmond!
Frickin love these!
Pumps with Attitude
Canvas won me over!
Love but a bit disappointed
Wonderful heels
I'm a fan
Love these!
Fluevog wedding
BEST HEELS EVER! Survived a Week-long Vegas Convention!
Best. Fitting. Heels. Ever!
I want
Please don't ever stop making this shoe!
Freaking Awesome
Size note - I went 1/2 size down from my normal size.
Desmond Cheetah Calfhair
Comfortable and easy to wear
A love affair
I have wide feet and bunions and these are comfortable for me.

The Future of Faith
Legendary Harvard religion scholar Harvey Cox offers up a new interpretation of the history and future of religion. Cox identifies three fundamental shifts over the last 2,000 years of church history:
The Age of Faith was when the early church was more concerned with following Jesus' teachings than enforcing what to believe about Jesus.
The Age of Belief marks a significant shift-between the fourth and twentieth centuries-when the church focused on orthodoxy and right beliefs.
The Age of the Spirit, that began in the 1960s and is shaping not just Christianity but other religious traditions today, is ignoring dogma and breaking down barriers between different religions. Spirituality is replacing formal religion.
Reflecting on how his own faith journey mirrors these three historical shifts, Cox personalizes the material in a compelling, practical ways. The Future of Faith is a major statement by one of the most revered theologians today.
About the Author
Harvey Cox is the Hollis Research Professor of Divinity at Harvard, where he has taught since 1965, both at Harvard Divinity School and in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His book The Secular City, published in 1965, became an international bestseller and is widely regarded as one of the twentieth centurys most influential books of Protestant theology.
Praise for The Future of Faith…
�eoeAt this crucial turning point in history, Harvey Cox reminds us of essential religious values and imperatives . . . A timely and prophetic book�e
-Karen Armstrong, author of A History of God
�eoeFor the last four decades, Harvey Cox has been the leading trend spotter in American religion.�e
-Stephen Prothero, author of Religious Literacy
�eoeThe Future of Faith is insightful, provocative, and inspiring�e"I even found myself uttering a hearty evangelical �eoeAmen�e at many points!�e
-Richard Mouw, President of Fuller Theological Seminary and author of Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport
�eoeThis important book has not only helped me understand the past, present, and future of this amazing phenomenon called Christianity ... it has also motivated me to keep working to help make actual the possible future Cox envisions.�e �
-Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian
�eoeHarvey Cox has been a voice of both reason and faith in our cynical times. Now, he offers �a fresh vision for the resurrection of a new global Christianity that will restore our faith both in ourselves and the divine.�e
-Deepak Chopra, author of Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment
�eoeThe Future of Faith is a tour de force. As passionate and challenging as his classic, The Secular City, Cox�e(TM)s new book invites the faithful, the skeptical, and the fearful into a spirit-filled vision of Christianity that can renew a hurting world.�e
-Diana Butler Bass, author of A People's History of Christianity
�eoeWith typical brilliance and lively insight, Cox explores questions in a dazzling blend of memoir, church history and theological commentary . . . Cox remains our most thoughtful commentator on the religious scene, and his spirited portrait of our religious landscape challenges us to think in new ways about faith.�e
-Publishers Weekly
�eoeCelebrated religious scholar Cox argues that we are witnessing the dawn of a third epoch in Christian history . . . Cox�e(TM)s work is intriguing, and there is certainly truth in his observations about global Christianity and the rise of Pentecostalism and liberation theology.�e
-Kirkus Reviews
�eoeA lucid and congenial book . . . [Cox] is not alone, but he is most cogent, in thinking that the content of Christian faith is becoming more like that of the early church . . . A book full of good news.�e

Historical Analogies, Generational Effects, and Attitudes Toward War in the United States, October 1990-February 1991 (ICPSR 9959)
Principal Investigator(s): Schuman, Howard; Rieger, Cheryl
This data collection explores the attitudes of different generations of Americans toward war. Questions pertained to respondents' views of the Cold War, World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. Respondents were also asked for their opinions of Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler, and for their views regarding President George Bush's declaration that force was necessary to make Iraq withdraw completely from Kuwait. A portion of the interviews were conducted before the Persian Gulf War (up to and including January 15), some were conducted during the War (January 17 and later), and others the day the bombing started (January 16). Questions were also asked about the respondent's educational background, month and year of birth, race or ethnic origin, and sex.

Jamis bicycles has
a long history of innovating revolutionary bikes. This dates all the
way back
to 1979, when Jamis introduced the Earth Cruiser. The Earth Cruiser
helped to
spark the beach cruiser revolution which has been a part of beach-city
ever since. This revolution hasn't stopped, Jamis has merely shifted
focus to
other forms of two wheeled machines. Today Jamis develops and produces
top of
the line Road and Mountain bikes. Leveraging their 30+ years of
Jamis is able to craft Race driven performance, as well as high quality
down products for the average rider. Jamis has a goal to build the
bike, which might be an impossible goal, however to Jamis, it's the
only one
worth doing.
When you hear the
term "entry-level" many assume it's just another way of saying
"low-end" or "affordable."
Being an "entry-level" mountain bike, only half is true about the Dakar
Sport. Let us clarify. Now, it's fact
that the Dakar XC Sport is "affordable", however it's fiction that the
Dakar XC
Sport is "low end". The tried-and-true mp2 suspension offer a genuine
multi-link chassis with asymmetrical chainstays that present all the
of near-vertical wheel travel, suspension that remains agile and lively
power and braking, and a firmly planted rear track when the going gets
and you've got to lay down the gauntlet. The 7005 aluminum tubes
feature a
gusseted down tube and asymmetrical chainstays that deliver
lateral and torsional stiffness letting you mash the pedals as you soar
the trail. A tapered head tube and steerer up front gives complete
control and
power over the violent terrain.
The Dakar XC Sport is
suited with a component package that is reliable, yet won't deplete
your stash.
The SR Suntour XCM HLO coil fork with 100mm of travel and external lockout is
lightweight and efficient, balancing comfort, performance, and control.
with a Shimano Alivio M430 front/rear derailleurs and shiftlevers, you
get the
same functioning of pricier group sets, only with a tad more weight.
The Tekro
Draco Hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors will provide the stopping
you'll need when plunging down a technical descent. The Dakar XC Sport
is a
fun, recreational build that will allow you to get to know the trail
and its
many joys!

This is an amazing buy. My son was looking for a bike and he had a limited budget. For what we bought this for we were looking at comparably equipped used bikes. Shipping was spot on and bike pulled out and put together easily. We were riding in 20 mins

For the price you can not beat this bike. Decent components. Front shock is pretty week and the tires need to be changed out immediately. Its a bit heavy but what do you expect for this price point. Brakes work great and shift fine.

The Colorado River State Park was renamed James M. Robb – Colorado River State Park in 2005 to honor a visionary. Mr. Robb was instrumental in creating this "string of pearls," or five distinct sections, that are this park.
From Fruita on the west end, to Island Acres on the east end and three stops in-between, this is one park split into five sections. To visit the park, follow the Colorado River west from Debeque Canyon to Fruita, and enjoy five uniquely different river and lake based outdoor recreation opportunities.
The sections or "pearls", are listed in order from east to west and each offer something different:
View the James M. Robb-Colorado River State Park brochure for a map of section locations.
James M. Robb was a civic leader, former parks board member and chair, elected representative and champion of state parks. Robb helped create the Colorado Riverfront Foundation, referring to this Grand Junction-area park as a "string of pearls." Colorado State Parks and the communities involved are working together to build a future 35-mile river corridor trail system to connect this "string of pearls."

Various levels of hotel accommodations for out of town attendees
Wide range of food options and restaurants within city blocks
Nearby Hobby store and Supermarkets for your shopping needs (Walmart included)
Controlled water conditions and dedicated use of facility for our members
High visibility – open to the public for promotion of the hobby and possible membership
Sponsorship for facility costs and INSURANCE
High probability of media coverage
Pool operation is ok for our boats (see SUBRON6 2-12-06 pool FUNRUN on SubCommittee website) we'll have a rinse off station too
Ample parking with covered seating/shelters and restrooms
I'd like to hear from everyone regarding your plans to attend next month's event.
Please send your response as a reply to sender of this email. Full driving directions, street address and contact info will follow in a second email.
The Columbia County Tourist Development Council has so graciously offered to support our event and is asked for an attending headcount.

A sincere word of thanks to those who have contributed to our chapter's first event.
Thank you very much

Producer NotesSchrader's mission statement is essentially one where their 30-year leases on vineyard parcels give them the ability to present a specific clonal study of Cabernet Sauvignon from three highly desired clones (4, 6, and 337) grown within a single vineyard. The bottom line is that with their production averages about 1,600 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wines do have subtle differences, but most... More » |

Hey, I can see the snake now but maybe it would be better if he was looking down and we could see it's fangs. But it's just my opinion

I *am* familiar with the game, but I agree. It looks like a "personal massager" being inserted into two gaping holes. Perhaps a different perspective/angle would be more appropriate?

Comments: This ripped along the backside and the zipper broke. Not too impressive or sturdy for average usage in
3 months.
Comments: This monstercombi bag has worked fine for me for the past 6 months. The only complaints are the
zippered compartment on the outside is too small for my phone, keys and wallet. And the pads on the shoulder straps aren't very
durable. Both have come unstitched and are falling apart.
Comments: The Tour Team Combi 6 Pack is a good quality bag, but unfortunately on the small side for a
supposed 6 pack. The CCT compartment holds 2 racquets at best (as Kevin mentioned) and the zipper location for it is awkwardly
situated right along the edge. The gear compartment is roomy and can fit all your stuff, but the wallet pocket is tiny.
All in all it's a bit of a step backwards for Head I'm afraid and I will have to return it.
Comments: In the Tour Team Combi 6 Pack, the CCT pocket barely holds 3 racquets. Unsure how they
estimate 3-5 racquets. Otherwise, nice bag.

Sweet summer memories are made at traditional events — with your support
Believe it or not, summer is winding down. The days are getting shorter, and the mornings have that crisp, cool sensation that means fall is on the way.
The waning days of summer also mean that it's time to enjoy a favorite summer tradition — the Plumas-Sierra County Fair. The fair gates actually opened this morning. And Friday the annual Railroad Days kicks off in Portola.
It's time to get out and have some fun.
Many of us have fond memories of the hot August nights of our youth spent at the county fair. It was a chance to cut loose and roam the fairgrounds. We had a couple bucks in our pocket and corndog in our hand as we soaked in the carnival atmosphere that, for some of us, was the highlight of our summer.
It was a chance to catch up with friends — some of them we hadn't seen since school let out for the summer; others we hadn't talked to since last summer's fair. For young and old alike, the fair is a unique social event.
And the event has been part of our culture for a long time. The first informal fairs date back to the Romans, when they were called "holidays." That was when everyone took a break from work and politics to gather for fun. Often merchants, who traveled for many days, would gather to sell and exchange goods and livestock.
By the Middle Ages, many European communities had dedicated fairgrounds much like we see today. Back then, fairs weren't necessarily held during the summer. They were often held in conjunction with a significant event, such as the anniversary of a local historical event, or a seasonal event such as a harvest.
But the one common theme through the ages has been … fun! This year's theme for the Plumas-Sierra County Fair couldn't be more appropriate: "Fun, family, friends."
This fair promises to be a good one, with an array of events, displays and entertainment scheduled.
Despite financial troubles the past few years, the fair staff has continued to persevere — putting on an event worthy of its lofty status as the must-see event of the summer. Members of 4-H and FFA groups from all over the county have been working hard to prepare their animals for display. Other residents bring their produce, preserves, handiwork and art to compete and share.
Still, we should not take the fair, or Railroad Days, for granted. Without the support of the community, both of these summer traditions could soon fade away. If you only attend one event this summer, make it one of these. This weekend, spend a day enjoying the fair and the other at Railroad Days. The money we spend enjoying these attractions will help to make sure they are back next year, and for years to come.
The fair and Railroad Days also provide an economic boost to our community. People come from out of town to enjoy these events. Visitors fill our motels, restaurants, shops and campgrounds while they are here.
The fair and Railroad Days are part of our identity in Plumas County. We are fortunate to have them and shouldn't take them for granted.
Let's go out and have some fun!

I agree there are cheaters in every system. I, unfortunately, am one of the unemployed. I have been searching for work and have been unsuccessful. However, I do have problems with some of the proposed H.R. 4213 and I have mixed feelings regarding the passage of this bill as it is written. I am a Conservative on most issues and I do not like the entire bill as is. However, I hope that the extension will go through, because thousands of families are in great need.
I also agree that there are cheats in every system, and they don't care that they are hurting those of us (and our children) who are in true need. I am also a libertarian/conservative and don't agree w/ the full bill. I don't agree how they lumped it all together to begin with. Our country is in such turmoil and there are no easy answers- but I do know there are so many families in dire straits, including mine. I would rather NOT have to depend on this… I would rather be working to support my family and teach my children not to depend on the government, but dammit, I need this right now.
Yes, take that money from NASA and the thousands that work for it and the companies that have contracts with them. That should help the unemployment rate. Take it from science and knowledge. I hate that we spend so much money inspiring kids to become engineers and scientists that never do anything for society. I would rather that we keep the nerds in other countries.
We would all be better off if we were a little less educated and interested in the universe we are a part of. What has it done for us lately? And nothing ever came from things like the moon landing or learning to orbit the earth. We don't need the technologies used for stupid things like jet airliners, communications satellites and GPS. Even if we did, everything important about space has already been discovered and used. There is nothing new up there; it's just a little empty space with a couple of lame planets floating around.
This is the short-sighted idiocy that prevents solutions from even being discovered. -
So let me get this straight, you are in favor of government not only allowing but actually encouraging the outsourcing of American jobs which puts millions out of work an leaves a greatly reduced number of jobs in our country. and you further support the government when after having done this, does nothing to help those Americans who it forced into unemployment. Way to stand up for your own people.
The page breaks up the comments. I cannot tell if that was directed at me. If so, then the sarcasm didn't properly come through. I greatly support NASA. Glen, Alderin, and Warner Von Braun were some of my childhood heroes. And I grew up to be an engineer of sorts (software engineer) with a passion for space and physics in part because of them. As a result, the Federal Govt. has obtained several hundred thousand dollars from me that it may not have without the inspiration.
by the way, are you aware that the fewer people who are employed, the less currency flows into our economy and the less taxes can be collected. I would be much happier if the goverment would force American corporations to bring back our jobs, then we wouldn't need this. But Conservative Republicans don't want to go against the big bussinesses that contribute to their campaighns. If you want someone to blame, look at the bigger picture. look at all the politicians who allowed and even encouraged outsourcing, like Reagan and Bush Senior and Junior as well as countless others in congress, most of whom are conservative republicans.
Yes, take that money from NASA and the thousands that work for it and the hundreds of companies that have contracts with them. That should help the unemployment rate. Take it from science and knowledge. I hate that we spend so much money inspiring kids to become engineers and scientists that never do anything for society. I would rather that we got our nerds and the lame stuff that comes with them from other countries. Wouldn't you?
Besides, we would all be a little better off if we were just a little less educated and interested in the universe we are a part of. What has it done for us lately? And nothing ever came from things like the moon landing or learning to orbit the earth. We don't need the materials and technologies used for stupid things like jet airliners, instant food, communications satellites and GPS. Even if we did, everything important about space has already been discovered and used. There is nothing new up there; it's just a little empty space with a couple of lame planets floating around, right? We certainly don't need any more big Hollywood money or entertainment from thousands of movies and documentaries on the subject. What a bore anyway, right?

opus,,this isnt the site to be opposing anything,,,this is for unemployed people by no fault of their own to get and receive information to help their families. What your too ignorant to understand is that most of these people want to go to work and have been looking for a job like myself, for sometime now and if they cut-off funding they will be forced to get welfare, which has been around for many many years. So before you start adding comments how about doing some research first cause it makes you look pretty stupid!
I don't appreciate you calling me a deadbeat because i got laid off from my job of ten years making more money than you and your mother combined because of the real deadbeats who take loans that they don't pay back. Now i have to settle for this unemployment check. You're a deadbeat that has no idea what is going on so i suggest you keep your prissy mouth shut.
I have to agree with you on your comment. I was laid off from my place of employment 8 months ago and have been sending out resumes like crazy on a daily basis. I was making way more than what I get on unemployment! Do you think I love being on unemployment? Ummmm NO! But I have to in order to survive and keep a roof over my head. These people making the harsh and untrue remarks are people that have a job but have NO IDEA hard it is for the unemployed. Unless these people have or are going through hard times like us do not need to be leaving comments unless they have "been there and done that". We need to take a look at why employers aren't hiring new employees? It's becuase they cut back on all their budgets and learned to work with "less" due to the recession. Why doesn't congress force employers to hire a certain amount of "new" employers each month. Good luck in your job search and I wish you and your family the best! :)
I think what you say about the fact that it's hard to even get hired in a fast food job right now is true. Business has slowed down, and employers are trying to work with less people on the clock at any given time. Even at my work, we are asked to clock out when there are no customers and all of get take multiple breaks a day because things are a lot slower (I work fast food right now). I live in a college town and am hoping that when they get back I'll be able to pick up more than the measly 20 hours a week I've been getting.
The president today 7/19/2010 had a media talk on the unemployed and had several of unemployed indivduals from 2 years to 1 year etc. He stated that people have exhausted their benefits and need help from the congress to help ALL Unemployed in this still jobless economy. It is now up to the congress to get a Bill to help provide a lifeline for all unemployed. The unemployed can now hold you congress accountable to any measure that deviates from what the president said about the unemployed. ALL Unemployed need a Bill to help provide additional lifeline for at least an additional year in this very slow recovery jobless economy. They need to do more that add deadlines they need to add additional weeks, Tier 5 or Tiers 5,6 to help all unemployed. Period
I'm one of those who exhausted all of them benefits and had to beg and borrow from friends and family to pay my bills. I found a job a few weeks ago but was let go after 6days. I was told I wasn't the guy he thought I was. What a bunch of B.S.! I'm now so far in debt I'm thinking about ending it all. It's sad that I get these thoughts but
unless something happens soon maybe a tier 5 benefits package. I just
may end up homeless! I cannot borrow anymore, without knowing I can pay it back. My phone and internet will be shut off soon and my landlord will be evicting me. That sure won't help finding a job! -
Buy, borrow or if you must steal a sailboat and take an adventure. Or put your last 50$ toward a tent and a canteen, put an "abandoned" sign (or nothing at all) on your door, and find a 500 mile dusty trail. Risky, but "ending it all" is guaranteed. Never give up. You always have options. Others may not like your choices, but almost any choice is better for you than the one you suggest. And in the end, it's your choice. Creditors will not follow you to the peaks of Alaska or the mountains of Montana. Nor will they find you in the vastness of the Atlantic.
I don't know where you are but there is help available. I know nobody likes public housing but that is an available housing option and Catholic charities and such will help. You need to get to your local Department of Human Services. Also tell them about your mental state because you are in a severe state of despair if not clinically depressed. Call 211 that is usually the number for United Way. Don't give up!
From http://progressillinois.com/quick-hits/content/2010/03/12/number-day-16 MediaMaven:
(post 1 of 3)I recently received a message regarding this board.
I am from a DC PR agency, and while I cannot professionally endorse what you are trying to accomplish (conflict of interest purposes), I can provide you some information to help your cause.
I have read some of the great post regarding amending HR4213. I would like to advise another vehicle to get your message out there – a press release. All a press release needs is a:
Headline (center space)
Summary (goes directly under heading – center space)(double space)
Contact Info:
Spam Comment
(post 3 of 3)
All anyone has to do is to go to each site and set up an account and post their release.
Make sure to include "key" words in the body of the release (i.e., Senator Reid, Obama, unemployment benefits, Pelosi, hardships, crime, etc.) – this will ensure more visibility and to be picked up by the media.
You can also go online to see samples of press releases.
This site has some very intelligent and articulate people – so I know that creating a solid press release will not be a problem.
Share this information on every UI board and all the Facebook contacts – and tell all to post a release each week until a tier 5 is created.
I received a message about this board from a reporter, who in turn forwarded it to me – so your media outreach is working.
Get luck to all of you!
I know that many people are unemployed and have been for a very long time. I am in Tier 1 and I will not recieve any benefits when my 1st tier expires in May 2010. I do believe that I can find a job, but without any income it will become impossible. Unfortunately, my husband can't help because he is a self-employed contractor, that has been not had much work for the last 2 years. I don't want to rely on the government to feed me and my family, but right now we don't have a choice. Our congressman (mine – Jack Kingston) really need to step up and help middle class Americans get back on our feet. I am currently working on re-training and updating my work skills, but I need more time.
What is meant by extend the filing deadline? I am in Tier 2. My benefits ends in April. If this bill passes, will I be able to file for Tier 3 — which I am not eligible for now because I was laid off five days after guideline requirements.
you know what i just realized. my roomate who got layed off before me and on unemployment before me will be collecting unemployment longer than i will because of the dates we fall on for our last filing. the system is messed up. i wish we could just vote all these idiots out and replace them with normal people, not self indulgent jack asses. oh well.

17.03.2013 /
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey finished second overall at the eleventh round of the Monster Energy 450SX Supercross Series, an FIM World Championship held at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Ryan Dungey was placed in the first heat race of the night where he got a great jump out of the gate and came into the first corner in third position. Unfortunately, he got pinched off in the second corner and dropped to seventh place. The next three laps he battled with the five riders ahead of him to get toward the front of the pack. He swapped positions with Justin Barcia multiple times before making an inside pass stick on the fifth lap to take over fifth place. In that same lap, he was able to reel in Justin Sipes and pick off another spot. In the final lap of the race he caught and passed Mike Alessi to finish third in his heat.
Dungey had a decent jump off the line in the main event and rounded the first corner in fifth position. He moved into fourth by the end of the second lap and began to reel in the top three riders on his KTM 450 SX-F. On the seventh lap of the race, the lead ride of James Stewart stalled in a corner allowing Ryan Villopoto to take the lead and Dungey to move into second position. In the remaining laps, Dungey trailed Villopoto trying multiple maneuvers to make a pass stick. At the end of twenty laps, Dungey remained on the rear end of Villopoto but was unable to make the pass and held on to finish second for a podium finish.
On the podium, Dungey stated: "We made some adjustments in the afternoon practice sessions to get everything dialed in for the night show. The track was both slippery and tacky in spots and it made it a little tricky to determine the best bike set-up. In the end, I was able to pressure Ryan (Villopoto) throughout the race but couldn't make the pass stick. I am happy with second tonight and am looking forward to Toronto."

Phoronix: DRI2 Video Support Still Being Planned
Rob Clark of Texas Instruments talked more at XDC2012 about his plans for "DRI2 Video" support...
I understand the main benefit is zero-copy. Tear-free was already possible a decade ago using the video overlay.
Another problem with Linux is the lack of a modern standard API for video presentation. Xv is old, and it shows in many ways. We have VDPAU, but that is not supported on all chipsets.
does that reduce cpu usage in video playback... yesterday I tried because of that wayland in quantal but here (radeon) no pointer did appear
Yep, it reduces CPU usage and latency pretty greatly, by eliminating a couple of huge stalls. In the best case, you can have the overlay scan directly out of the buffer the DSP decoded into, which saves you two copies (in and out of the SHM area). This helps hugely with 1080p especially.
Using overlays rather than GL still helps you a lot because the overlays typically have much higher-quality scaling, filtering and colourspace conversion. They're pretty crucial in mobile because the you expend a great deal more power using the GPU for that.

State Facts About Unintended Pregnancy: Virginia
National Background and Context
Unintended pregnancy can have significant, negative consequences for individual women, their families and society as a whole. An extensive body of research links births resulting from unintended or closely spaced pregnancies to adverse maternal and child health outcomes and myriad social and economic challenges.(1,2) In 2008, the last year for which national-level data are available, 51% of all pregnancies in the United States were unintended including eight in 10 teen pregnancies; the U.S. unintended pregnancy rate was 54 per 1,000 women aged 15–44, a level significantly higher than that in many other developed countries.(3,4) If current trends continue, more than half of all women in the United States will experience an unintended pregnancy by the time they reach age 45. And economically disadvantaged women are disproportionately affected by unintended pregnancy and its consequences: In 2008, the unintended pregnancy rate among women with incomes lower than the federal poverty level, at 137 per 1,000, was more than five times as high as the rate among women with incomes greater than 200% of poverty (26 per 1,000)
In any given year, the two-thirds of women in the United States at risk of unintended pregnancy who use contraceptives consistently throughout the year account for only 5% of all unintended pregnancies; fully 95% of unintended pregnancies are attributable to the one-third of women who do not use contraceptives or who use them inconsistently.(5) Public programs—notably Medicaid and the Title X national family planning program—are central to women's access to affordable contraceptive services and supplies and their ability to use contraceptives effectively. In 2010, 8.9 million women received publicly funded family planning services; these services helped women avoid 2.2 million unintended pregnancies, which would likely have resulted in approximately 1.1 million unplanned births and 760,000 abortions (the remainder would have resulted in miscarriages).(7) Absent publicly funded family planning services, the numbers of unintended pregnancies, unplanned births and abortions in the United States would be two-thirds higher than they currently are. (2012 data on events averted are available only for services provided at publicly funded family planning centers; these data are not available for Medicaid enrollees served by private providers). (7)
Unintended pregnancies are also costly to the federal and state governments, resulting in $21.0 billion in public expenditures in 2010.(8) Yet, these costs could have been considerably higher: By helping women avoid unintended pregnancies, publicly funded family planning services saved taxpayers $13.6 billion in 2010, or $7.09 for every $1 spent.(9)
Incidence and Outcomes of Unintended Pregnancy in Virginia
• In 2010, 54% of all pregnancies (84,000) in Virginia were unintended.(10)
• Virginia's unintended pregnancy rate in 2010 was 51 per 1,000 women aged 15–44. Nationally, rates among the states ranged from a low of 32 per 1,000 in New Hampshire to a high of 62 per 1,000 in Delaware.(10)
• The teen pregnancy rate in Virginia was 48 per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2010. The national teen pregnancy rate was 57 per 1,000, ranging from 28 per 1,000 in New Hampshire to 80 per 1,000 in New Mexico.(11)
• In 2010, 52% of unintended pregnancies in Virginia resulted in births and 34% in abortions; the remainder resulted in miscarriages.(10)
Public Cost of Unintended Pregnancy in Virginia
• In 2010, 19,800 or 45.4% of unplanned births in Virginia were publicly funded, compared with 68% nationally.(8)
• In Virginia in 2010, the federal and state governments spent $506.5 million on unintended pregnancies; of this, $312.0 million was paid by the federal government and $194.6 million was paid by the state.(8)
• The total public costs for unintended pregnancies in 2010 was $306 per woman aged 15–44 in Virginia, compared with $201 per woman nationally.(8)
Preventing Unintended Pregnancy in Virginia
• In 2012, 443,960 Virginia women aged 13–44 were in need of publicly funded family planning services.(6)
• Publicly supported family planning centers in Virginia served 90,120 female contraceptive clients in 2012. Those centers met 20% of Virginia women's need for contraceptive services and supplies, compared with 31% met by family planning centers nationally.(6)
• In 2010, the reported public expenditures for family planning client services in Virginia totaled $32.6 million; this includes $28.2 million through Medicaid and $4.4 million through Title X. (12)
• The publicly funded family planning services provided by safety-net health centers in Virginia helped avert 22,100 unintended pregnancies in 2012, which would likely have resulted in 11,000 unplanned births and 7,500 abortions.(6)
• By averting unintended pregnancies and other negative reproductive health outcomes, publicly funded family planning services provided by safety-net health centers in Virginia helped save the federal and state governments $198.5 million in 2010.(9)
