Federer, Henin-Hardenne advance with different paths
By Steve Ginsburg
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Two-times defending champion Roger
Federer and 2003 titlist Justine Henin-Hardenne used different
paths to advance at the U.S. Open on Friday.
On a chilly day at Flushing Meadows, top seed Federer was
not at his best but good enough to ease past Briton Tim Henman
6-3 6-4 7-5 in a workmanlike second-round match.
Henin-Hardenne, however, needed to recover from a
disastrous first set to defeat number 28 seed Ai Sugiyama of
Japan, 4-6 6-1 6-0 and move on to the fourth round.
Under overcast skies with a threat of rain, there were few
upsets at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Among the legion of winners were sixth seed and 2004
champion Svetlana Kuznetsova on the women's side and Andy
Murray, Carlos Moya and Robby Ginepri on the men's.
Top seeded Federer blasted only six aces and never seemed
to fire on all cylinders but proved to be in a different league
than the 31-year-old Henman.
"I think the conditions were tough today, breezy, chilly,"
said Federer, who has yet to lose a set in his two matches.
"Henman was trying to kind of break the rhythm, as usual.
"So it makes it hard to really play well and get the good
rhythm going. I think it could have been easier, but it could
also been tougher.
"I thought it was a solid match because I didn't give him
any chances on my own service games and that's what I wanted to
do from the start."
Henin-Hardenne committed an uncharacteristic 17 unforced
errors in the first set and squandered a 4-1 lead. She had
Arthur Ashe Stadium abuzz after having her serve broken three
times in the opening frame.
But the gritty Belgian found her form in the final two sets
to subdue the 31-year-old Japanese journeywoman without much of
a fight.
"I was leading pretty easily in the first set,"
Henin-Hardenne said. "I didn't have the feeling that I was
moving well at the time, and I lost a little bit my intensity.
The conditions were pretty difficult.
"When I lost the first set, I understood I had no more
choice than winning the next two, and so be very focused on
every point. Then I played a very, very solid tennis."
Kuznetsova rolled on to the fourth round with a 59-minute
6-3 6-0 whipping of Russian compatriot Anastassia Rodionova.
Next up for the 21-year-old Kuznetsova will be 19 seed
Jelena Jankovic, who scored a mild upset of ninth seed Nicole
Vaidisova, 5-7 6-3 6-2.

Houston police chief Lee Brown is doing things right; crime is down, public approval is up.
It doesn't matter whether you're a developer with a million-dollar idea or a homeowner with a yen to remodel. You can't bend any rule at all without approval from the Board of Adjustment.
A question of honor in San Antonio; Christian harmony in Dallas; a wage dispute in Houston.
The maddest crowd in town? The incensed citizens at the Dallas Auto Pound who have to shell out for the privilege of reclaiming their towed vehicles.
Darrell Royal's supremely simple invention took Texas teams to the top and kept them there.
You have to wonder if guys like San Antonio's C. A. Stubbs aren't the future of urban politics.

Located in the up and coming area of Kerobokan, with all amenities close by, convenient stores within 100m (now that's convenient), situated far enough away from the busy tourist areas to truly relax, yet close enough to Kuta, Seminyak and Legian to have a day of shopping, pampering or dinner in a fine dining restaurant.
Ideal for a couple or two or three wanting an escape, or a holiday with a few great friends. All three bedrooms have Queen size beds and western amenities, The master on the first floor complete with amazing ensuite bathroom.

The lounge is connected with cable TV, DVD player. WiFi and iPod dock. A cleaner will come everyday, (except sundays) to make sure you really don't have to lift a finger.

Cafe Moka, great for that morning breakfast (or more likely brunch) , The Plumbers Arms Pub, great for lunch, dinner or a well deserved cold drink.

Tim is an amazing host, quick to respond to any issues, the villa is cozy, looks just like the picture but a little inaccessible. There's a few cafes/restaurants within walking distance (5-7 mins walk) but if you'll like to see more, you'll need to hop onto a cab. The taxi ride to Seminyak took about 15-20 mins with traffic and cost about 50,000/way. An ideal place to stay if you are in a group of 4 (optimized for cab sharing as well) as 2 of the bedroom share a bathroom. The pool is rather small, more for soaking rather than a swim. We have issues with the water pressure during our stay but that was solve rather quickly with a message to Tim.
Well for starters, the place is as it looks in photos. Clean, well-kept, comfortable. Lots of local places nearby made it feel like home.
As for Tim, not enough can be said about the guy. We normally try not to bother the host on our trips, yet that was not the case on this trip. Fortunately each and every time Tim was available with a smile and solution. Forgot your Apple TV remote back home? Tim's got a replacement you can use. You ruined the temporary phone he leaves for the guests convenience? Tim got that fixed in a jiffy. Heck, we even managed to break the gate by the front door and Tim got that repaired within a couple hours. Need a driver? Tim's got a guy. Need tips for a local restaurant to suit your mood? Tim'll steer you in the right direction.
Great guy, great atmosphere, great time. Thanks for tolerating us Tim!
Wonderful villa that was really inviting. However a little inaccessible and difficult to locate. Villa was exactly what we were promised in the photos, maybe even better! Cosy and it felt like home. Could improve on the water system though, ran out of water while showering halfway sometimes. Overall, we had a pleasant stay over at the villa.
The location was safe and the house looked like how it is in the pictures. Tim, our host was helpful in our queries. Thanks for being so accommodating, Tim.
We had a great stay at this fantastic villa . Everything was really well set up & Tim couldn't have been a more delightful host . He was so helpful & the villa was stunning & immaculate .Highly recommend a stay here !
Tim's villa is great! The rooms are comfortable, the pool was refreshing, and it was a wonderful way to relax after a very long trip. He responded very quickly to any problems we had. Nick is a bonus and highly recommended if you want a personal guide around Bali. Having a cell phone provided was also a plus!
This host has 5 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
About the Host, Tim
Chilled Guy who loves to experience what life has to offer.
Life is too short to work in an office, time to open your mind, where dreams can really come true.
Come and enjoy a slice of heaven and stay in our great pad!

Nearly half the students in the Alamance-Burlington School System met or exceeded standards for their grade level on standardized tests at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
Statewide, more than 56 percent of students hit their marks.
The N.C. Department of Public Instruction released data Thursday on a variety of "accountability measures," including end-of-grade and end-of-course test results.
The results reflect a change approved in March that expands the criteria for students to be considered "proficient." Some students who previously would have been labeled as failing to meet grade-level requirements are now considered to have sufficient skills to advance to the next grade.
"There are some kids that are pulled in that would not have been pulled in in the past," said Vanessa Jeter, director of communication and information services at the state Department of Public Instruction.
According to the new scale, nearly 40 percent of ABSS students are on track to be ready for college or careers after high school. Statewide, 46 percent of students are "career-and-college ready."
Because of the change, state officials are not drawing comparisons between the results from the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. However, in 2012-13, less than 40 percent of ABSS students scored proficient on new, harder tests, compared to 45 percent for the state that year.
The state's four-year graduation rate — the percentage of students who graduate from high school in four years — was nearly 84 percent. While a slight increase, it is the highest percentage the state has seen since it first started tracking the four-year rate in 2006. ABSS' four-year graduation rate was 79 percent — also a new high.
Most of the schools in the district — 22 of the 34 — "met" or "exceeded" expectations for improvement in student performance, according to a DPI report.
More than half of local high-school juniors — 51 percent — scored well enough on the mandatory ACT college placement test to get into a college in the UNC system, compared to 59 percent statewide.
State Schools Superintendent June Atkinson said the new system did not devalue the worth of a proficiency label.
"The purpose of adding the extra level was to have more granular information for school districts to use in order to determine what type of help students need," she said. "I don't believe it devalues the score. It just gives more detailed information on which to personalize education for every single child."
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Obama: "Sometimes I Forget" The Magnitude Of The Recession
And Republicans go wild. From President Obama's remarks at a Seattle fundraiser.
Mitt Romney Press Secretary Andrea Saul released this statement in response to Obama's remarks:
It's not surprising that a president who forgot to create jobs, forgot to cut the debt, and forgot to change Washington has now admitted that he's forgotten about the recession. In fact, it seems that the President has forgotten that he's been in office for the last three-and-a-half years. In November, the American people won't forget.

Removed oven racks and bottom cover plate. Removed stainless steel diffuser to access igniter. Removed bottom storage drawer and unplugged connector for igniter. Removed defective igniter by by taking out 3 screws holding stainless steel mounting bracket in place. New replacement part had totally different bracket which prevented it from mounting in the proper orientation so I carefully removed defective igniter from original bracket and installed new igniter. New part was tacked in place by some sort of high temp adhesive that had to be carefully removed to allow it to be installed in old mounting bracket. Installed new assembly in the oven and when I tried plugging in the power connector I discovered the pins on the new igniter were the wrong sex; both sides had male pins! Removed igniter again and cut off the two pin connector and installed a brand new 2 pin molex type connector. I installed a mating connector on the original length of wire and connector that I cut from the defective igniter along with the heavy insulating material so I now had a properly mating set of connectors. Went through the mounting process again; successful mating this time. Oven lights in 50 seconds. If it dies again I'll have a connector of eachsex ready before repair.

The plan is simple. Julienne Blake will use self-hypnosis until she's discovered the sexy woman inside, then she'll seduce Nick Fairfax during an unforgettable night. And with a tantalizing performance for an audience of one, she does just that. But her sensual plan seems to have worked just a little too well, because Nick is begging for a return engagement.
Nick has never met a woman who could capture his attention so completely as Julienne has. Her risqué moves have him pursuing her all over sultry Savannah just to be alone with her. But he's not a long-term kind of guy, so his desire to extend this passionate affair has him completely baffled. Somehow he has to convince her there's more than that night between them....
Julienne Blake silently read the phrase from the open book, then again, before rallying the courage to say it aloud.
"Naughty girls feel good about feeling naughty." The words rolled off her tongue, unfamiliar and shockingly bold in her quiet living room. On the walls hung photographs of her youth spent traveling with her bachelor great uncle to renovate historically significant buildings all over the world.
Thankfully, Uncle Thad wasn't in the room to hear her read the words again. Despite being seriously out of his element, he'd tried his level best to rear his orphaned greatniece as a good girl after awakening one morning to find her on his doorstep.
"Naughty girls feel good about feeling naughty." There, she had it. Her voice sounded natural, relaxed. A feat that had required a significant amount of practice, given that Julienne had spent her entire adult life studiously avoiding concepts like feeling good and feeling naughty. These weren't concepts any good girl should dwell on, not when there were other, more productive uses for her time, like focusing on an education and a career.
Julienne had been the ultimate good girl, a fact she'd been proud of - until six monthsago when a broken engagement had made her question whether there was more to life than living up to other people's expectations and always doing the right thing. Especially after her ex-fiancé had placed the blame for their breakup on her, complaining she lacked fire and passion.
Snapping the book shut, she set The Naughty Handbook of Naughty Girl Sex on the end table and leaned back in her favorite chair, a leather recliner where she normally spent nights pouring over her students' papers. Closing her eyes, she let the message filter through her.
Naughty girls feel good about feeling naughty. Julienne planned to feel naughty and feel good about it. She'd just turned thirty, a turning point for finally realizing she should enjoy life. After spending five years with Ethan ... she still couldn't believe she'd spent five years with Ethan simply because it had seemed like the right thing to do.
Come on, girl. Whoever said a woman had to finish college, establish herself in a career and then settle down to get married? When do you get to have fun?
The voice in her head asked valid questions. Although she'd spent a lot of time soul-searching since the breakup, Julienne didn't have any answers. Not even an answer for why life without Ethan seemed as tepid as life with him had been.
"Why are you sitting here in the dark, Julienne?" Uncle Thad asked. "Are you feeling all right?"
Julienne opened her eyes to find her uncle silhouetted beneath the archway that led to the hall. Snatching The Naughty Handbook from the end table, she flipped the cover down on her lap and gazed at him, an always-welcomed sight. His red apple cheeks and neat white beard lent him a rather Santa Clausish air that always made her think of Christmas. Perhaps because he'd come into her life just like Santa Claus down a chimney, generously devoting his golden years to rearing her.
"I'm fine, thanks," she assured him. "Just a little tired."
"You should get to bed then." He strode into the room and sat in the recliner opposite hers, apparently not noticing her book. "Unless you're up for a documentary on the History Channel. The show will feature that Philadelphia courthouse Dr. Fairfax renovated a few years back. Since he's coming to town soon to start work on the Risqué Theatre, I thought I'd watch the program. Starts in a few minutes."
Julienne usually enjoyed watching programs that featured the work of this well-known preservation architect. With citations from more than three dozen historic organizations and an appointment to the President's Advisory Council for Historic Preservation, Dr. Nicholas Fairfax was the noted authority in her area of expertise.
But tonight the very idea of TV seemed so symbolic of her staid lifestyle that not even watching the much-admired Nicholas Fairfax could silence Ethan's unkind comments about fire and passion echoing in her head.
It's always the same thing, Julienne. If I didn't suggest get-togethers with our university colleagues, you'd have us at home every night watching urban renewal shows with your uncle.
Though she hadn't been that gung ho about Ethan's recreation of choice - especially since get-togethers with their colleagues usually degenerated into long-winded debates on the merits of hypnotherapy in today's societal climate - she couldn't argue his point.
Here it was Saturday night and instead of visiting with friends or enjoying one of the many entertainments Savannah offered, she sat at home, contemplating a night watching a very handsome preservation architect prop up rotting joists on TV.
Sheesh. It had taken her weeks to come up with a radical solution to her good-girl problem, a solution she couldn't implement with her uncle sitting a mere foot away.
Flipping down the recliner footrest, Julienne tucked her book under her arm. "I'll pass on the documentary tonight, and take your suggestion about getting a good night's sleep." She stood, circled his chair and kissed her uncle's cheek. "See you in the morning."
"Sleep well, my dear." Smiling absently, he reached for the remote control on the end table.
Julienne headed upstairs, hoping she could find a balance between the "good" girl Uncle Thad had raised, and the woman who needed to know she possessed at least a spark of fire. She didn't always have to do things the right way. Ethan had been right and look where he'd gotten her.
A professor of hypnotherapy at the University of Savannah, Dr. Ethan Whiteside had been stable. He'd also been upwardly mobile, financially secure, and attractive. But he hadn't been very aware or supportive of her needs.
After graduating with her doctorate in historical preservation at the unusually ripe young age of twenty-five, Julienne had wanted to go into the field and work on a rehabilitation project to flex her hard-earned skills. She'd been reared in the field with Uncle Thad, right up until he'd retired to an academic position at the university in time for her to start college. She loved to travel and going into the field again before marriage had sounded like a good ... okay, a fun thing to do.
But Ethan had wanted a wife on staff at the university to fulfill his dream of being part of an academic power couple. He'd insisted she be groomed to take Uncle Thad's place at retirement. Julienne had acquiesced. She told herself she should spend as much time as possible with her aging uncle - which she had, and that she couldn't expect to have things go her way all the time - which they hadn't.
Although she loved her job and found satisfaction teaching her students, she couldn't overlook that her relationship with Ethan had always been focused on his desires and his goals. For some reason she still couldn't quite put her finger on, she'd accepted that. After all, no relationship could be perfect.
It doesn't have to be perfect, girl, but it should be fulfilling, that voice in her head said. You haven't been living, you've been existing. Time to shake things up.
Julienne headed into her bedroom and quietly closed the door behind her. She planned to start having fun. She was through with existing, done with living up to other people's expectations. No more tepid emotions. And absolutely no more tepid sex ever again.
Time to shake off apathy and enjoy life. Glancing in the mirror above her dresser, she noticed pale cheeks where her blush had faded away, the once-neat French braid so at odds with the naughty girl image in her head.
"You can do this," she told her reflection. "You can put aside your good-girl notions. You can take charge of your life and explore your sensuality."
Curiously enough, the ex-fiancé and hypnotherapist, had unwittingly provided the key to shedding her inhibitions with a nifty form of conditioning called self-hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool, Julienne. It uses autosuggestion, imagery, and imagination to improve different aspects of your personality. I can show you a few techniques.

I thought the book lived up to the Blaze line- hot! Excellent read, but I have to agree that 'Jules' really shouldn't have had to rely on her handbook so much. The culprit in the behind the Hush Hush Honeys is pretty obvious (at least to me) and their excuse for doing it was pretty lame. Overall, it was a good book though.Was this review helpful?

In Savannah, Dr. Julienne Blake feels that the time is right for her to shed her role as poster girl for good girls and do something sexy and naughty. What changed Jennifer¿s feelings is the end of her engagement to fellow professor Dr. Ethan Whiteside, leaving her to wonder why not enjoy life. She chooses internationally renowned preservation architect Dr. Nick Fairfax, who is in the city working in restoring the Risqué Theatre especially since she is an expert in the same field that he is the recognized top gun.
After receiving a do over by her stylist, ¿Jules' goes to the theatre where she literally runs into Ethan. Known as a person committed only to restoration projects though he enjoys the ladies, Ethan cannot resist Jules¿ siren call. As they fall in love, he wants her by his side forever, but she still thinks naughty and assumes a one-night stand is the end all of their relationship.
ABOUT THAT NIGHT is an amorous romance that is as hot as a summer day in the novel¿s setting. Readers will enjoy the transformation of Dr. J though wonder why someone as brilliant she would use ¿The Naughty Girls Manual¿ as a guide. Still both lead characters are hot while the support cast provides humor or insight into Savannah or one of the protagonists. Jeanie London entertains readers with this scorching steamer.

The renewable fuels law, passed in 2005 and greatly expanded in 2007, was a mistake at the time and has now created such a bloated industry that it may be "too big to fail."
The idea of finding ways to create renewable fuel sources has some merit. But instead of letting market forces dictate what that would be and when, a requirement that 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol be produced this year, 15 billion gallons by 2015 and 36 billion gallons by 2022 was jammed down the public's throats.
To reach these mandates, the biotechnology industry collected billions from private investors and hired at least 400,000 workers, according to a press release from the Biotechnology Industry Organization, which represents more than 1,100 biotechnology companies and other related groups.
It was certainly a windfall to these companies and to corn farmers.
What Congress and the bureaucrats at the Environmental Protection Agency didn't take into account is that Mother Nature can put a kink in the best laid plans. This year's drought cut corn production to an estimated 10.7 billion bushels, the smallest in six years, according Bloomberg News. To hit the targets, 42 percent of the entire harvest will be turned into ethanol.
Eight governors -- four Democrats and four Republicans -- petitioned EPA to waive the requirements so more of the crop could be used to feed livestock to help prevent driving food prices higher. The EPA in its wisdom -- now that's an oxymoron -- said that while it was given the power to suspend the mandate if it would severely harm the economy of a state, region or the United States, it didn't see any problem. In EPA's view, there has to be "severe harm" and it isn't enough that the standard just contributes to the harm.
"We are extremely frustrated and discouraged that EPA chose to ignore the clear economic argument from tens of thousands of family farmers and livestock and poultry producers that the food-to-fuel policy is causing and will cause severe harm to regions in which those farmers and producers operate," the coalition of eight governors wrote.
While Texas and Arizona were not included in this coalition, Arizona Sen. John McCain and Texas Gov. Rich Perry in 2008 asked the Bush administration to waive the mandate because of drought. They were turned down. A spokesman for Perry said last week's decision is "another punch in the gut" for states' agricultural economies.
So consumers can do little as they watch food prices rise while ranchers and farmers cope with less feed for their animals. And because of the expense to produce and add ethanol to gasoline, prices at the pump certain won't be going down. So consumers lose twice.
The real rub is that with the rising popularity of hybrid and electric cars, the need for ethanol to stretch gasoline supplies -- which was dubious at best even in 2005 -- has been rendered moot.

Bangalore: The Centre of Indian Trade unions (CITU) has sought the "intervention" of Defence Minister A.K. Antony in retaining Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) as the nodal agency for the development of the Tactical Communication System (TCS) for the armed forces.
In a letter to Mr. Antony on Thursday, CITU president M.K. Pandhe, referred to "recent disquieting reports" about the possibility of orders worth more than Rs.5,000 crore relating to the TCS project being placed with a company associated with a leading private Indian conglomerate.
Sources in BEL told The Hindu that the TCS was planned as a communications network for the armed forces for use in tactical warfare. The network seeks to integrate video, voice and data communications using suitable encryption.
Dr. Pandhe alleged that the "backdoor entry" of the private entities, citing the need for increased competition, "appears to be aimed at induction of an imported system through an Indian company at the cost of jeopardising the sensitive strategic communication system of the Army, as well as the security of the country."
Dr. Pandhe alleged that as a result of "backdoor manoeuvring," BEL did not find representation on a "feasibility committee" constituted by the Integrated Defence Staff.
Instead, industry representatives were represented on the committee that amounted to "a clear case of conflict of interest." Dr. Pandhe said that BEL had been developing the TCS since 1997, in consultation with the Army, and in coordination with the Defence Research and Development Organisation. He sought Mr. Antony's intervention so "indigenous self-reliance and national security are not compromised."

Have PPC users been left for dead?
i have a ppc g4 desktop that crashes like crazy. 90% of the time this happens on sites like facebook, youtube, and the like. i think i needlessly replaced my hard drive on this computer recently as everyone was telling me my hard drive was why i kept crashing. brand new hard drive, still crashes within seconds of playing any kind of streaming audio/video. i am now suspicious that flash is my problem. the thing about updating flash though is that it seems that you can only update to the most current version if you have an intel mac. my current version of flash is 10.1.something-or-other. the current version is 10.3. i am running tiger, 10.4.11. am i overlooking something here? all i want to do is go online for more than 30 seconds w/out crashing.

What browser are you using? I have very slow video on my iMac G5, and setting a new user profile in Firefox helped, but only for a bit. I have Leopard though. Your system might be old enough that it's just not supported anymore.
|Aug 8, 2011, 05:46 PM
i primarily use firefox, but given the recent circumstances i went back and gave safari a shot and it was just as bad. then i tried tenforfox which was rock-solid for about 2 hours and then it became as bad as the rest.
|Aug 8, 2011, 05:52 PM
How long has it been since you've wiped and reinstalled the OS on it? If its been a few years, I would highly recommend it. What you're seeing isn't right at all and could be from some corrupted files somewhere.

I'd recommend maxing out the RAM and upgrading to Leopard if possible. Even doing so on my 12" 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook it still has issues with playing Flash. HTML 5 video is a breeze though.

Flash always caused crashes in NetNewsWire for me, so I installed Click2Flash (or some flash blocker like that) and BAM instantly, no more crashes. I'd also say upgrade from Firefox to TenFourFox 5 (which is a version of Firefox 5 for PowerPC Macs that also supports Tiger), and if you can, upgrade to Leopard (it works acceptably on ANY G4 Mac so long as it's got 1GB+ of RAM.)
|Aug 9, 2011, 11:50 AM
all this is true, you need to install a flash blocker and deal with each flash video at a time. I life ten four fox, but I find Safari works much better with click to flash installed, and if you enable the developer menu for pesky hd youtube videos its almost perfect. I only have 1 gig of memory but I have upgraded my g4 powerbook to leopard.
|Aug 9, 2011, 12:23 PM
Are you using a dual band airport extreme with an airport extreme adapter in that mac? If so, Tiger has issues with that router. If your crashes are actually kerne panics, then that is the problem
Otherwise, I'm not sure.
|Aug 10, 2011, 11:11 PM
+1 that Flash absolutely kills PPC. An old iBook G3 Clamshell my school had couldn't load the homepage for YouTube; Safari would crash. But on G4's, as said, max out the RAM. And you can try using the browser "Camino". Works well on PPC Macs, the iMac G4 and eMac were much more usable with it installed and used over anything else.

I wouldnt take a g4 past 10.4 Tiger
You are bottle necked by the lack of modern GPU, your cpu is basically a nintendo wii divided by 2, if I recall in my parent's old g4 tower they could use SATA hd's and ram is just OLD OLD.
To be blunt, PPC users were left for dead long before web 2.0 proliferated, arguably back to the days when shockwave slowly got replaced

G4's do not take SATA drives by default like you hint at. All of them have either ATA 66 or 100. I had to install a PCI card to get SATA.

What is your graphics card? I know the ATI Rage Pro AGP has random crashes issues with OS X tiger because it is not fully supported (in OS 9 it was). It was the default card on my blue G4 digital audio 533 mhz. Change the card for a geforce4 mx, ati radeaon 9000 if you're on a budget, or anything better if not.
|Aug 12, 2011, 02:36 PM
The G4 did not ship with a Rage Pro, but shipped instead with a Rage 128 Pro, which is fully supported under OS X.
Different cards. I have a G4 Cube which used to have a Rage 128 Pro, and it worked totally fine for both 2D and 3D.
Likely your card was just dying.

Bypass Flash with Mactubes or Youview
PPC mac users really need to abandon Flash, as they (Adobe and Apple) have most certainly abandoned you. Download mactubes or youview and play 480p (lets face it, good enough to great for most youtube videos) in ffmpeg or quicktime. You will be stunned at the quality,and the ease at which your g4 1.0ghz or higher can stream youtube. In mactubes you can download higher quality flash files and as long as you have Perian play them in quicktime. For web video other than youtube I use download helper in firefox (works in tenfourfox as well) and presto, anything under 720p will play peachy. For 720p I use Coreplayer. It takes my ibook 1.2ghz to about 90% CPU cycles, but, hey, it still plays. Some claim 1080p playback is possible with coreplayer, maybe with a better video card and slighty fast processor, but for me no go. Check out ppc luddites blog for some ubergeeky command line tricks to get mplayer to play HD. He has a low end 500mhz G4 Sawtooth tower, and with a decent video card can still enjoy 720p.
Also, Cameron Kaiser (tenfourfox) has a new haxie in the beta of 6.0 that lets you play webm video in quicktime from the browser. It's very beta but it works, and I can confirm that if set your user agent to ipad in firefox or safari all kinds of sites will stream you video that quicktime can handle. If you get my drift.
|Aug 12, 2011, 11:29 PM
Some users here in the PowerPC section have actually listed flash playability as a reason they finally went to Intel. A slave to the worst codec ever and out of nothing but pure ignorance. It's really quite sad.

PPC G4 10.4 Saved from Flash....
So I just registered here to share a positive story about this Flash / PPC debacle. Close to a year of frustrations brought to a quick end. I blame adobe.
As people have noted allready, TenFourfox !!!! I cant thank these guys enough.
Its basically Firefox designed/coded/and optimized for G4s and after getting it you put in some flash block and flash download extensions right from mozillas standard Firefox add-ons procedures. I now load up any page on the internet ....including youtube and facebook w/ no problems at all. if i want to see a video I have to right-click and download. the downloads are tiny, quick and look and play fantastic w/QT or VLC. Some add-ons claim to auto convert and run within page or are directed to a stand alone player. Im just DLing until I find the right one. Its a bit of pain but Now Im scrolling through pages while i watch Med quality avi files on another monitor, at the same time. Internet + multi-tasking with no real problems. And heres the kicker...Im doing it on a10.4 PPC G4 466mhz!! It never as fast as you want but fast enough to still be VERY usable.Especially considering that this machine couldnt load a web page for years now. Even with fresh installs of everything.
SOOOO MANY PPC G4 + G5 users are completely frustrated with their machines.ALL because of flash problems!!! Adobe is a foul foul company for letting all these ppc users upgrade(at their insistence) a plug-in that cripples these machines and then offering no other solution other than buying new equipment.The forums are on fire with this topic. Moderators/bloggers/writers please!! help!!! Make some good concise "Headlines" letting people know about this before they throw away a great machine.
Oh yeah my PPC dualG5 w/Radeon 9600 video card running 10.5 leopard still has flash on it but performance was increased significantly after I fixed a display + sleep issue attributed to Radeon video cards.And I quote::
""There is a missing extension in System/Library/Extensions/AppleNDRV(folder).
For those who have Ati Radeon 9600 PC and Mac Edition, ATI ROM Xtender is missing in Leopard causing sleep and display problems. The AppleNDVR folder contain only two extensions (AtiDriver.bundle and ATIRuntimeDriver.bundle). You need ATI ROM Xtender from Tiger(or ATI Displays preference pane reloaded onto 10.5) to have a correct display. Just put it in the folder and restart.""
I Hope this helps someone just as everyone else s post helped me out.
We must all turn our backs on Adobe + Flash. Give them nothing,, and destroy them if possible.
Viva La PPC !!!!!!!!

This helps the Reds.
Hall of Famer.
Disgusted me as a fan of a rival, but as much as I dislike(d) him, dude knew how to get a whole lot outta his players.
HOF'er, but doesn't mean I have to like him ;)
If I were in his shoes I would retire, too. It will be impossible to top the run his team made the past several months. The man is the definition of a Hall of Fame manager. I won't miss him but I will always appreciate what he accomplished.
I wonder how this effects Pujols.
And most Cardinal fans I know are celebrating this, almost as much as they are celebrating their Championship.
Wonder what, if anything, this will mean for Pujols?
Familiarity breeds contempt, I'm sure. Cards fans will be emptying the seats soon enough, once the winning slows down. Look at August, their crowds were dwindling even then. "Best fans in baseball."
Color me suprised.
Looking forward to the shorter games (timewise) against the Cards.
Good riddance.
Duncan is almost certain to leave then too, right? Now with La Russa gone and his wife still dealing with her health issues.

ADHD in Massachusetts
Looking for support group and professional to help manage my ADHD
I am new to this group. I have been having difficulty managing my ADHD in my new role/job. I have requested accommodation because of the high expectation with detailed memory recall at a moments notice. My employer considers this part of my ability to multitask.
I am looking to join a support group in the Foxboro area or downtown. Does anyone know of one?
Also has anyone had success being treated by a psychiatrist to help them manage their ADHD as adult? I am really surprised to learn most neurologists don't treat adults.
Any help with any of these would be greatly appreciated!!

Operator: Welcome to today's Children's Place Third Quarter Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Please note today's call is recorded.
It is now my pleasure to turn the program over to Jane Singer. Please begin.
Jane Singer - VP, IR: Thank you, Kevin. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for a review of The Children's Place Retail Stores, Inc. third quarter 2012 financial results. Participating on this morning's call are Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer and John Taylor, Vice President, Finance.
Before we begin, I would like to remind participants that any forward-looking remarks made today are subject to the Safe Harbor statement found in this morning's press release, as well as in our SEC filings. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revision to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. After the prepared remarks, we will open the call to questions. We request that each of you limit yourself to two questions, so that we will be able to take as many questions as possible.
Thank you and now I will turn the call over to Jane Elfers for her opening remarks.
Jane Elfers - President and CEO: Thanks, Jane and good morning everyone. I'll start off with an overview of our third quarter results moving to review of sales by channel and an update on three of our key strategic initiatives and end with the discussion of the impact of Hurricane Sandy on our updated guidance.
Net sales increased 3% for the third quarter, adjusted operating income increased 4%, adjusted earnings were $1.60 per diluted share which exceeded our guidance range of the quarter, comp retail sales increased 1.1% driven by higher transactions, average transactions value and conversion which partially offset by 1% decline in AUR and our SG&A spending was well managed during the quarter with the rate deleveraging only 10 basis which exceeded our expectation of 60 to 80 basis points of deleverage.
Gross margin deleveraged 10 basis points which was a significant improvement over the first half of this year. However, we expected lower product cost would drive 50 to 70 basis points of growth margin expansion during the quarter on top of the 110 basis point of expansion we achieved last year.
I'll provide the detail regarding our sales results during the quarter and John will review margin in detail during his remark. Starting with our channel performance, e-commerce comp sales increased 12.8% driven by strong performance in the big kids business. U.S. outlets posted a 5.4% comp increase. Two-thirds of the assortment is now made for outlets. We're very pleased to see the strong increase in average transaction value driven by increased AURs and UPGs during the important back-to-school season.
U.S. Place comped down 1.6% for the quarter. The big kids divisions posted strong sales gains throughout the quarter. However, we were disappointed in the performance of the baby holiday dressing line. Canada stores comped negative 2.9% for the quarter similar to the U.S., the big divisions were strong while the baby holiday delivery struggled. Across our channels sales fluctuated dramatically by week as our customers continued by buy closer to need and when the weather was seasonally appropriate.

The Wild West! Cowboys! Buffalo!
If you think I'm talking about relics from America's past, think again. I can tell you first-hand that the Wild West is alive and well, and a truly awesome travel destination for families with young kids. My own daughters have been amazed and, I believe, transformed by the time they've spent in the mountains and forests of Montana and Wyoming. They've met real-life cowboys, been enthralled by Native American storytelling in a campfire's glow, and gotten up close and personal with Yellowstone's bison (maybe a little too close for comfort, but all good).

A hint of anise gives these glazed cookies grown-up appeal.
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Anise Extract , divided
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, 1/2 teaspoon of the extract and salt; mix well. Gradually beat in flour on low speed until well mixed. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a log about 9 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
For the Glaze, mix confectioners' sugar, water and remaining 1/4 teaspoon extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand until glaze is set.
(Amount per serving)
Amazing! This is a family favorite. The mild licorice flavor will be a hit with your family and friends. Only use McCormick anise because some of the other brands are too strong.

Tasted so good my family & I never got to cook the dough! We kept sneaking spoonfuls out the refrigerator, all of a sudden it was GONE. Next time I will make this when everyone is out of the house.

Toni Morrison talks to Google about creativity
Thursday - 2/28/2013, 12:10pm EST
AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Novelist Toni Morrison, speaking Wednesday to dozens of Google employees holding laptops and smartphones, shared her vision for how she would turn the search engine leader into a literary character.
"It's like a big, metal, claw-y machine in 'Transformers,'" she said, to much laughter, during a lunchtime gathering at Google's Manhattan offices. "When they're threatened, they turn into a little radio, they turn into a little car. And then after you pass them by they come up again.
"They can be anything and everything."
The 82-year-old Nobel laureate was the latest, and most literary in memory, of a long line of famous guests from Stephen Colbert to Lady Gaga who since 2005 have dropped in on Google Inc. in New York and the home offices in Mountain View, Calif. After her talk, she stayed on to take questions online, part of Google's "Hangout" series.
Morrison, battling the flu and sniffling through much of the afternoon, was promoting the paperback edition of her novel "Home," published last year. But she also chatted about technology, teaching and creativity.
Most of the attendees were young enough to be her grandchildren, and she clearly enjoyed startling them with candid talk about what she likes in literature (please don't bore her with stories about dating) and about how to use sex in fiction. The first lesson: Forget "boobs and butts."
"When you write about physical attraction, someone falling in love, or making love, it's just so relentlessly boring," she said.
"So why don't you do something different? When I wrote 'Beloved' I had these guys watching Sethe (the main character) in a cornfield making love to this guy. You can't see her, they can see the tops of the corn, and then the language goes on. ... It's all about corn. And I had a guy say I'll never see corn the same way."
Unlike Philip Roth, who announced recently he was done with fiction, Morrison has no plan to quit. She is working on a new novel but acknowledges she's having a hard time. The problem isn't the narrative itself but the time in which she's set the story -- the present, an era she's still trying to understand.
Morrison, an early endorser of Amazon.com's Kindle reading device and the author of prize winners including "Song of Solomon," said she's not a Luddite and does keep up with the Internet, enough so that she much prefers the nonfiction she reads on blogs to fiction. And she credited the Internet as an information resource.
"It shortens research enormously, months of time you would normally spend in libraries, just trying to read books," she said.
She cited an example from her most recent novel, set in the 1950s.
"I was looking for documentation for who could not rent or buy property in Seattle," she said. "And I knew black people couldn't, but I didn't have any real examples. But via Google I went through stuff and found these lease arrangements."
But the digital age can still catch her off guard. When on-stage interviewer Torrence Boone, a Google managing director, casually mentioned that their discussion would be replayed on the Internet, Morrison sounded as if caught in the act.
"You heard me say all that stuff about corn and stuff?" she asked.

Contemporary Psychology
Kegan acknowledges a debt to Piaget, Kohlberg, and the psychoanalytic object-relations theorists. He regards his theory as a synthesis and extension of their views, resulting in a developmental theory that presents a unified conceptualization of affective, cognitive, and moral development. Individual chapters are devoted to each of six developmental stages—their growth and loss. The last chapter explores the implications of the theory for psychotherapy and for implementing growth in everyday life...The theory is elegant...There is much food for thought and many hypotheses for research in Kegan's book. If one has not appreciated the importance of meaning-making as a central concept in personality theorizing, the book might even propel one into the next stage. More likely, the reader will...obtain some important new insights. All in all I recommend the book highly.
— Seymour Epstein

Union Energy, partner to put up P1.9B hydro power plant
popular .
Union Energy Corp., led by Puregold owner Lucio Co, and power firm Sta. Clara Power Corp. are putting up a P1.9-billion mini-hydro power project, aimed at helping secure the electricity requirements of consumers in Oriental Mindoro.
Sta. Clara board chairman Nicandro G. Linao, officials of Union Energy and the local government of Oriental Mindoro will lead the scheduled groundbreaking ceremonies on Thursday for the 8-megawatt facility.
"We are very happy to work with Union Energy for the Catuiran Project, which will address the growing power needs of Oriental Mindoro and nearby areas. The provinces of Mindoro have been relying on National Power Corp.'s Small Power Utilities Group for its power requirement and have not been spared [from] power shortages," Linao said in a statement issued Wednesday.
"Needless to say, it resulted in huge losses for businesses. We aim to address these concerns by putting up the Catuiran hydro project," Linao added.
According to the statement, the project site for the mini-hydro power project is located about 30 kilometers southwest of Calapan city and in the southern side of the Catuiran river, one of the major river systems in Oriental Mindoro that originate from Mt. Halcon.
The planned power plant is expected to start commercial operations in 2016.
"We are supporting the government's call for the more green energy sources under the Renewable Energy law. We expect to start construction within the year," noted Sta. Clara president Asisclo T. Gonzaga.
"With the growing concern on the environment, it has been proven that mini-hydropower has the least adverse effect on the environment, thereby making it the most socially acceptable energy source," Gonzaga added.
Sta. Clara Power is a local renewable energy developer that owns and operates the 1.2-MW Loboc mini hydropower plant in Bohol and has a 45-percent stake in the Amlan mini-hydro facility in Negros Occidental.

A group of Eastern Kentucky University students is offering several ideas to spur activity in downtown Richmond. A forum was staged Tuesday night in Eastern's student center.
It was promoted as an EKU student conversation with Richmond Mayor Jim Barnes. Organizers say it was the first time a sitting mayor participated in a program to solicit thoughts from Eastern students.
