How to install multiple video grabbers on one computer
If you need to capture from multiple VGA or DVI sources to the same computer, the Epiphan Capture software supports that function for such video grabbers as DVI2USB 3.0, DVI2PCIe and VGA2USB. In our example we will install four video grabbers: DVI2PCIe, VGA2USB and 2 DVI2USB 3.0 products.
This demonstration shows you how the Epiphan software can capture from multiple video grabbers. If you are using the Epiphan API, DirectShow, QuickTime or Video4Linux interfaces, this demonstration will help confirm that the video grabbers are being recognized by your operating system and that your application can capture from multiple sources.
Step 1: Connect your devices to the sources and to the PC you would like to capture to and launch the Epiphan Capture application.
You may be prompted to reinstall the hardware. If so, complete the Add New Hardware wizard.
Step 2: Select the device that you would like to record from.
Once you open the Epiphan Capture software, you should be prompted to select a video grabber capture device to use. Select the first one.
Keep the capture software open in one window and open another instance of the software in another window. You will once again be prompted to select a video grabber device. This time, select the second one in the list. Repeat this operation for other devices as well.
You should now see the output from all devices in four separate windows.
Step 3: Capture output
You can now capture output from the devices as you normally would. Remember that you have four windows in which you must activate the recording and that the settings in one instance of the program have no effect on the settings in the other instances.

mpc-hc tutorial confusion
I followed this tutorial to setup mpc-hc on my pc which is connected to my pioneer avr and then to my samsung plasma tv.
When I play a dts or DD signal, it keeps showing PCM on my pioneer display, instead of DTS or DD. If I switch my audio rendered in mpc to Pioneer AVR instead of reclock(as suggested in tutorial), then I can see DD and DTS. But when I play a dts-hd source, I get no audio in this case.
Is this how its supposed to be?
Re: mpc-hc tutorial confusion
Not sure what is causing this. I do know that Multi channel pcm is lossless so should not be getting any perceivable quality loss. Are you running HDMI out from vid card to receiver ? Some cards wont pass DTS-HD or Dolby hd at all and some like mine pass them as 6 ch PCM which is fine. I have an older ps3 that sends DTS-HD out as 6ch PCM. I read a lot about this when I was trying to figure out why my receiver wasnt switching in to DTS-HD mode and found that older ps3 systems do this but that you would need an oscilloscope to detect a difference. This was in an audiophile forum with some very knowledgeable people over as avsforum.com.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
Oh dear... I'm not sure if it's a photoshop or not but I guess it's the most likely, specially since the fonts of the US highways are available for it. But still it is quite funny, and potentially dangerous in the real world... Just imagine passing by that sign and laughing at it (but didn't catch the small print) and a second later going "Oh sh..." at the end of the bridge...
I think these are self explanitory!

In Adobe Photoshop CS5, I can add, delete and rename swatches. However, I don't see an option to edit them. Is it possible to edit the color of an existing swatch?

To put it in simplest of words:
It's probably because it's a lot easier to just create a new colour than to create an option to edit colour values.
You can rearrange the order by going to Edit -> Preset Manager... -> Set Preset Type to "Swatches" -> Drag and drop the swatch to where you want it.

He made no plea or declaration during a brief appearance at court yesterday and was remanded in custody until March 28.
Detectives were called out to the scene after the prisoner was found in his cell in E Hall on the fourth floor of the jail.
Clark, whose address was listed as Barlinnie Prison, was arrested and detained in police custody overnight before being brought to court yesterday.
The Scottish Prison Service confirmed that there had been a death at the jail but it refused to comment further.
A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.

"Imagine a computer whose memory is exponentially larger than its apparent physical size; a computer that can manipulate an exponential set of inputs simultaneously; a computer that computes in the twilight zone of space. You would be thinking of a quantum computer. Relatively few and simple concepts from quantum mechanics are needed to make quantum computers a possibility. The subtlety has been in learning to manipulate these concepts.

Thus, he struggled for runs in Ranji again after last year's flop show. After the 151 he scored on debut, he hadn't hit a ton for 15 first-class games.
"After the CLT20, he was trying to get his runs through point and gully. Now, he is giving himself time and playing in the V," said his coach Sanjay Bhardwaj after his ward hit 134 not out against the Lakshmipathy Balaji-led Tamil Nadu attack as Delhi, helped by his and skipper Shikhar Dhawan's (104) flawless centuries, posted 287/1 on Day One at the Kotla.
Chand, who pushed the fielders back with confident hits over infield, said: "I had pressure to deliver. When I toured New Zealand with the 'A' team a couple of months back, there was this burden of expectations. Now, after a few Ranji knocks, that is off."
Tamil Nadu seemed to have got excited by the grass on the pitch and chose to bowl.
It was a lottery for Delhi as the openers, after negotiating the early overs, raised 205 on a placid track.
Dhawan, who had over 500 runs in Duleep and Challenger series this year, had appeared to be tapering off till this knock full of crisp shots. Dhawan led the way with blistering strokeplay.
Brief scores: Delhi 287-1 (U. Chand 134 batting, S. Dhawan 104, M. Sharma 40 batting; A. Srinivas 1-60) vs TN

This page will contain discussion groups about Dita Von Teese, as they become available.
Dita Von TeeseOn the cover of Playboy, December 2002. Cover of a book by Midori, featuring Dita Von Teese in bondage.
Dita Von Teese (born Heather Sweet on September 28, 1972 in Rochester, Michigan) is a popular American burlesque artist.
Von Teese is fond of wearing elaborate lingerie such as corsets and stockings, and, in her words, "puts the tease back into striptease" with long, complex dance shows complete with props and characters.
She was featured in Playboy magazine in 1999, 2001 and 2002.
She is also a leading fetish model and has been compared to Bettie Page. She also acts, in such movies as Romancing Sara, Matter of Trust, in which she is billed as Heather Sweet, and also in two films by Andrew Blake: Pin Ups 2 and Decadence.
Appearances in Playboy Special Editions
On December 3, 2005, von Teese was married to American musician Marilyn Manson in a non-denominational ceremony at Curteen Castle in Kilsheelan (County Tipperary), Ireland, the home of Gottfried Helnwein. The wedding was officiated by surrealist film director and comic book writer Alejandro Jodorowsky. They reportedly exchanged vows in front of approximately 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley, and she wore a royal purple silk taffeta gown by Vivienne Westwood plus a tri-corned hat and matching corset. The two have been a couple since 2000.

The two have been a couple since 2000. [citation needed]. They reportedly exchanged vows in front of approximately 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley, and she wore a royal purple silk taffeta gown by Vivienne Westwood plus a tri-corned hat and matching corset. This has been disputed by many fans of the film, who believe that the film has a strong story, whose importance supercedes that of the animation. The wedding was officiated by surrealist film director and comic book writer Alejandro Jodorowsky. The quality of the film's animation has been criticized, specifically by animators within the animation industry, some of whom believe that the success of the movie shows a disregard for quality and will eventually hurt the industry. On December 3, 2005, von Teese was married to American musician Marilyn Manson in a non-denominational ceremony at Curteen Castle in Kilsheelan (County Tipperary), Ireland, the home of Gottfried Helnwein. Day weekend according to initial estimates, though it would lose the crown to Glory Road a day later when the actual receipts were calculated.
. The film exceeded analyst expectations [citation needed] by nearly doubling what had been predicted for its box office debut, winning the Martin Luther King, Jr. She also acts, in such movies as Romancing Sara, Matter of Trust, in which she is billed as Heather Sweet, and also in two films by Andrew Blake: Pin Ups 2 and Decadence. Test audiences for the film, which featured parents and children, were generally positive, with some concerns by parents over the violence in the film (there are some physical altercations involving martial arts, and two scenes involving lethal explosions), and of the sinister nature of the character of Boingo. She is also a leading fetish model and has been compared to Bettie Page. The three accept. She was featured in Playboy magazine in 1999, 2001 and 2002. The next day, Flippers tells the four that he has decided to open up his own private business, and offers to enlist the three for their special skills.
Von Teese is fond of wearing elaborate lingerie such as corsets and stockings, and, in her words, "puts the tease back into striptease" with long, complex dance shows complete with props and characters. Red is freed from the air tram before it explodes, and Boingo and his henchmen are captured by the police. Dita Von Teese (born Heather Sweet on September 28, 1972 in Rochester, Michigan) is a popular American burlesque artist. The Wolf, Granny and the Woodsman follow, and foil Boingo's plans. ISBN 0060591676. Red is discovered, and placed in the air tram filled with dynamite. Dita Von Teese, Burlesque and the Art of the Teese, Regan Books, 2006. Red follows him on the air tram up to the mountain, where he and his henchmen, the aforementioned opposing snowboarding team, plan to corner the market on goodies, and make them highly addictive to kids.
Playboy's Sexy 100 February 2003. We then see Red following the real thief, the one who was present during all four accounts: Boingo. 84 March 2002. The police are back to square one, as none of the four appears to be culprits, but then the basket of Granny's goodies and the recipe book is found to be missing, as is Red. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. The revelation of Granny's other life is a shock to Red, who is hurt that Granny lied to her. 78 March 2001. The familiar confrontation with Red, the Wolf and the Woodsman then ensued.
Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. Her parachute became caught in the ceiling fan, and she ended up wrapped up in it and thrown into her own closet. 75 September 2000. Shortly after, Granny arrived in her bedroom. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. As she approached her home, she saw Red below her in the railway cart, and advised her to use her hood as her own parachute. 74 July 2000 (pages 68-69). She tells Flippers that during the race down the mountain, the opposing team physically attacked her and her team, and she narrowly escaped a mountain avalanche via a parachute.
Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. She explains that she enjoys such activities, and that at a snowboarding tournament between her teammates and an opposing team, Boingo the rabbit even asked for her autograph. 72 March 2000. She reveals that she is an extreme athlete who prefers activities like snowboarding to being the stereotypical goody-making grandmother. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. Granny is the last to be interviewed. 70 November 1999. But an avalanche approaches, and a log he finds himself atop rolls down the hill to Granny's house, and he is thrown through the living room window, hollering the entire way.
Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. The Woodsman is distraught, but decides to prepare for the role of a woodsman by chopping down trees. Playboy's Girlfriends September 1999 (pages 76-81). He then discovers that his goody truck has been robbed, apparently in another attack by the Goody Bandit, as Boingo opines on the scene. 69 September 1999. He tells Flippers that after a disastrous audition for a bunion cream commercial, where his thick Austrian accent hurt his chances, he got a callback. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. He reveals that he is an aspiring actor, and that for money, he drives a goody truck, selling schnitzel on a stick to children.
67 May 1999 - Mizuno (pages 28-29). The Woodsman is then interrogated. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. The Wolf puts on a Granny disguise, and the confrontation is again seen. 66 March 1999. The duo arrive at Granny's house, and the Wolf throws Twitchy in the closet to hide, but Granny is already there, and already tied up, which complicates the authorities' view of the Wolf as the culprit. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. After using a shortcut provided by Boingo the rabbit, the Wolf and Twitchy used the mountain railway system, which was destroyed when Twitchy lit a candle in the cart that turned out to be a stick of dynamite.
64 November 1998 (pages 84-85). He explains that he was merely questioning Red because it was his job, and that when his tail got caught in the film chamber of Twitchy's camera, he roared in pain, which Red took as an attack. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. But the Wolf reveals that he is an investigative reporter whose prior stories Flippers is familiar with, and tells him that he and his hyperactive photographer, a squirrel named Twitchy, were investigating the recent thefts of various recipes by the Goody Bandit, and became suspicious of Red when he saw her traipsing through the forest with goodies in a basket. Playboy's Body Language October 1998. Flippers then interrogates the Wolf, who it appears certain is the culprit. 62 July 1998 (Mizuno, pages 14-15). When she gets to Granny's she sees through the Wolf's transparently obvious Granny disguise, and just as he reveals himself and the two confront one another again, a bound and gagged Granny jumps out of her closet, and then a crazed-looking axe-wielding Woodsman jumps into the living room through the window screaming, to the horror of the other three.
Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. As the railway cart they were riding emerged from the mountain, Red saw that the tracks far ahead of them were apparently destroyed, and an image of her Granny appeared in the sky above her instructing her to use her hood as a parachute, which Red successfully did (the goat used a pair of helicopter-horns to land safely also). Playboy's Real Sex February 1998. After using her martial arts skills and a "Wolf Away" spray to repel the lupine attacker, Red fled, using a mountain railway system manned by a singing goat with detachable horns with different uses. 58 November 1997 (Mizuno, pages 8-9). This admission appears damning, as it casts Red in a suspicious light, but Red asserts her innocence, adding that on her way to Granny's house, she fell from an air trolley she was riding with the rabbit Boingo, and when she landed in the forest, she ran into the Wolf, who, after questioning her, appeared to become hostile. Playboy's Book of Lingerie Vol. Red, the first interview subject, tells Flippers that she is merely a delivery person for her Granny's "goodies", and that when she came across the ransacked home of another goody-maker, the latest in a recent string of such attacks by a thief known only as the Goody Bandit, whose crimes have resulted in the closure of many goody makers in the forest, Red decided to take the hidden recipe book in the house for safekeeping.
Playboy's Lingerie Model Search February 1997. Because the film uses a police interrogation as a framing sequence, it is evocative of the 1995 crime thriller The Usual Suspects, and because the four participants' stories converge at points prior to the meeting at Granny's, and are at times self-serving, the format is evocative of Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon. The lead investigator, frog-form Nicky Flippers, interrogates each of the four participants, with each character giving their own version of how and why they arrived at the house. Mid-scene, the story jumps ahead to the police cordoning off Granny's house following the opening events. The story begins in media res, with Red, the Wolf, Granny, and the Woodsman in their confrontation at Granny's house.
. It is 80 minutes long and is rated PG for mild action and thematic elements. Although it is based on the Little Red Riding Hood folktale, structurally, it borrows from the films Rashomon and The Usual Suspects, and its setting uses the same type of anachronistic and satirical mixing of modern and fantasy culture as the Shrek films. It was written and directed by Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards, and Tony Leech, and stars the voices of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, James Belushi, Patrick Warburton, Andy Dick, David Ogden Stiers, Xzibit, Anthony Anderson and Chazz Palminteri.
It was released by The Weinstein Company in selected markets on December 16, 2005, before expanding nationwide on January 13, 2006.
An alternate title of the film was Hoodwinked! The True Story of Red Riding Hood. The actor who voiced the Woodsman also did so with a far heavier Austrian accent. An early cut of the film featured the voices of Tara Strong as Red and Sally Struthers as Granny before the voices were recast with Anne Hathaway and Glenn Close. Chazz Palminteri –Woolworth the Sheep.
Andy Dick –Boingo. Anthony Anderson –Detective Bill Stork. Xzibit –Chief Grizzly. David Ogden Stiers –Nicky Flippers.
Cory Edwards –Twitchy. Patrick Warburton –The Wolf. James Belushi –The Woodsman. Glenn Close –Granny Puckett.
Anne Hathaway –Red Puckett.

FTM , DD born 4/10/2009 7lb 10oz
I delivered there in 2001 ~ It was an awesome experience. The nurses were so nice AND the best part is we were the ONLY family that night.. so it was quiet and there was no traffic and the nurses spent all of their time on me.... I didn't deliver my 2007 baby there becaus of my dr being at a different hospital but my experience at Las Colinas was much better than my Baylor Irving experience.
Thats good to know. Thanks!
I look a chilbirth prep class there and the folks seemed pretty friendly .
Did you interact with the lactation department there at all?
FTM , DD born 4/10/2009 7lb 10oz
No I didn't. That is the only problem I had... They did not help me with breastfeeding at all and I was 20.. I was clueless..
HEB harris methodist has the best lactation center in the area.. I went there after my sept 07 LO was born... I delivered in Irving but drove to HEB to rent a pump and they helped me tremendously..it's not that far of a drive down 183 and I think so worth it.
Thats really good to know. I'm very much hoping to exclusively breast feed my baby and am an FTM so I'm fairly clueless .. I suspect I will need a very patient and helpful lactation person.
I don't mind the drive to methodist if it turns out LC folks don't help.

Thanks KittyKat and JLH .Thats really good to know.
JLH: Can you send me the name? I'm looking for BF classes.
FTM , DD born 4/10/2009 7lb 10oz
I've been to Las Colinas Medical Center L&D twice. The first time was in 2005 - I had a m/c at 15 weeks and ended up with a D&E. I was totally devastated and a complete emotional wreck. The nurses were awesome and took care of me when I couldn't do anything but cry. I was there three days.
I had a scheduled c/s there in 2007 and loved most of my nurses then, too! I was there four days and have no complaints. I did receive a visit from a lactation consultant while I was there. Since I had b/f'd before I didn't need any assistance, but she still spent time with me and gave me some new information. I'm having my baby there in May via another scheduled c/s.
Wife to RJ, mommy to Conner (23 months) and baby Eva (1 month).

Each graduate is allotted four (4) tickets to Commencement. S/he will pick up the tickets and should pass them to family and friends before the ceremony. With the exception of those with disabilities, all Commencement guests will be seated in the General section. A ticket allows admittance to Killian Court, but within the Court, seats are unassigned…the earlier you arrive, the more choice you have as to where to sit. Please remember to take your ticket with you if you decide to leave the Court at any time.You must have a ticket to be readmitted.
Tickets are required for all those over the age of three (3). Babies and children under three years old do not need tickets.
Sharing tickets
While the Institute encourages students to share unneeded tickets, graduates and guests are advised that no tickets to Commencement at MIT may be bought or sold under any circumstances.
Degree candidates who will not need all four of their Commencement tickets are invited to share extras by posting their contact information on this MIT-certificate bound forum (MIT personal certificates are required for participation - please refer your graduate to this resource). Students in need of tickets may join that forum to be notified of any available tickets. This service is moderated by student leadership and the Class of 2015 - all degree candidates are welcome to participate.
If you find on Commencement Day that you have extra tickets, you may give them to a Guest Services volunteer (these are the people in the red vests) or turn them in at the information tent so they can be redistributed. Thank you.
Viewing locations
Viewing centers around campus will show a live video feed, with captions, of the Commencement Exercises. These locations will be posted at the end of May.
For families who have more guests than tickets, the viewing centers provide an option for anyone who would like to see the ceremony live. The viewing centers are open to all.

Beautiful Single Mother Looking To Settle Down
I am a 28 year old single mother of a wonderful 2 year old son. We are looking for someone to join our beautiful family. I have been a vegetarian since I was 7, simply because I care so deeply for animals. I don't expect my partner to be a vegetarian, I would just need him to accept me. I love to laugh and have fun, but can also be serious and sincere. My favorite color is brown, but I have a very colorful personality. I love to be loved. There's always a smile on my face and constant thoughts going through my head. What I want in a partner: - Lots of smiles and laughter - Loves my son as his own - Romantic (opens doors, kisses my forehead, flowers for no reason, special date plans, holds my hand, etc.) - Family man...loves his family and mine equally - Confident, but not cocky - Educated - Hard-working - Has many friends - Loves cuddling Deal Breakers: - Smoking - Hunters - Involved with drugs or abuses alcohol - Men who do not respect animals or elderly people - Someone not willing to spend time with my family or his family - Only on this site to hook up with women - Generic emails obviously sent to many women on here **I was on match.com before I was pregnant with my son and it seemed like a lot of guys were looking for a random hook up. I am only looking for a serious relationship, so please do not contact me if you are not ready to settle down.**

For new moms on college campuses, finding appropriate places to breastfeed or pump milk can be challenging, and in some cases, almost impossible. That's why MIT is invested in making the campus more amenable to new moms.
When MIT's Class of 2015 received their degrees on June 5, MIT Medical staffers and student emergency medical technicians (EMTs) were, as always, on hand and ready to deal with any medical needs that might arise among the crowd of roughly 13,000 attendees.
Across five decades and six Institute presidents, there has been a constant at MIT Medical: administrative assistant Maria Bachini.
MIT Medical's providers have participated in more than a million digital clinical encounters this past year. But the morning of May 6 was decidedly face to face, as more than 200 staff members gathered to honor their colleagues at the fifteenth annual ComMITment to Care Awards.
Officials at MIT Medical report that the norovirus outbreak on campus has abated.
Clinicians at MIT Medical are reporting an increased number of patients with acute gastroenteritis—"probably norovirus," says Associate Medical Director Howard Heller.
In an effort to replace sore backs and sugary snacks with better options, last year's admissions committee formed their own cross-departmental wellness program to help employees weather the tough hours a little easier.

When less fear is more fear
Fear, says the dictionary, is an unpleasant feeling of anxiety or apprehension. I am very familiar with this. I get this very fearful feeling whenever I have been in a car driven by a young 'un who is controlled by nothing but racing hormones. Then I grit my teeth, hold on to the dashboard and recite the Nunc Dimitis. I also get it when I measure my waist and realise that I would probably soon require two measuring tapes to capture the inelegant direction in which my development is going. Most dreaded of all my fears is when I check my soup pot and realise it is on Ground Zero. Then I hit the panic button as I recall all its implications: money, err, money, and oh yes, money. I have found that my familiarity with fear is now fast approaching the level of contempt, for me, that is, not the fear. All around me, however, I find the reverse going on: people are not only throwing stones at fear, they have even made it to sit on the dung heap of all emotions. Very few people have any respect for it anymore.
Today, I am looking at fear from yet another angle. Whenever I have examined the newspapers, I have been accosted with fearsome stories of cases of misappropriations (whoever coined that term anyway?) of funds running into billions of Naira, gross mismanagement (another funny coinage) of funds running into more billions of Naira, wilful destruction of properties running into even more billions of Naira, and of course, direct (and often permanent) 'borrowing' of public funds running into, what now, trillions? And I ask, what happened to fear in this land: gone like a whoosh?
I don't know about you, but I believe that any society that does not write fear into its constitution is gone like a whoosh. Someone once got a scorpion bite and made so much noise about it that his screams could have woken the dead were he to have been in a cemetery. His problem, he spat out between screams, was the pain, oh, the pain! It got so much someone around him attempted to stuff some rags in between his teeth so he would shut up, stand still and get some medication. Noooooo!, screamed the writhing man as he eyed the needle approaching him, 'you have to give me something for the pain of that medication'. Straight after the jab, of course, the noise of the shameless screamer went down.
Then the sympathies and conversations started in the form of questions. What caused all that screaming? Was he so fearful of everything? Was he so afraid to die? What could happen that he was so afraid of: paralysis? Why, they all to a man chorused, was he screaming? Pain, he managed to explain; the pain was worse than what he imagined labour pain to be. Oh for a body that would not feel pain, he ended in a self-pitying moan. Now that would be very dangerous, replied the doctor. Pain, he said, is there for a reason; it helps the body know the limit it can tolerably manage so it does not go into involuntary extinction. The same goes for fear; the presence of fear should keep a state from going into involuntary extinction.
Every society thus attempts to write its own fear into its constitution (or commandments if you like) by writing out laws. So, a society that asks people not to commit murder (a commandment) or voluntary or involuntary manslaughter (the law) is actually attempting to protect other people from being killed for reasons ranging from stealing to being drunk or even just looking ugly. 'I killed him because he looked somehow' is therefore not tenable before the law. There are many other things that should also not be tenable before the law: holding public office to no effect; using public funds and office to fund private social parties; taking billions of Nigeria's money and hiding same in foreign accounts; insufficient housekeeping money for housewives; and of course, my take-home pay. I tell you, the law should say no to these things.
I'm sure I have told this story before but I'll repeat it here for the sake of those just joining the class. Once, I went to a self-service diner in a western country where I served myself some snacks. Since I needed some salad and not knowing I was expected to get another plate for it, I simply added some to my dry food plate. The cashier at the end of the queue was furious but pardoned me when she realised I was a foreigner. She refrained from throwing me out but coldly turned me back to rectify the 'mistake'. My host then took me aside and gave me a five-minute lecture on the importance of the fear that keeps that country sane and going: the fear of the law, which bends for no man or beast.
Right now, however, you and I both know that the law cannot talk principally because it has been made toothless in this country. In other climes, of course, it is merely an ass as I have said before on this page. The Nigerian state itself detoothed the law systematically. Now, we have reached a point where people now look at lawyers and judges and ask which law exactly they are upholding: the state's or that of the guilty. Again and again, the crooked have not only ascended some hallowed thrones in this land, they have gone on to corrupt and infect them. The list is countless: examine many of the assembly, state and local government positions where parties turn the blind eyes of the law on their protégés and install them, like corrupted computer programmes, right into the people's unwilling consciousness. Powerless and unable to uninstall those terrible highnesses, the people simply have kept their resentful distance.
Many have been killed in riots, bombings and kidnappings, and for such horrendous crimes, many people have sometimes been arrested for them, but no one has as yet been known to have been successfully prosecuted. Seriously, many murders have gone on unnoticed in the urban areas and the guilty have merely been shipped abroad by rich parents or the law made to throw its gaol key away, before putting the criminal away that is. And many of the crimes that go in the rural areas are simply not noticed. The watchman-law watches and sees the whole thing but does nothing.
Wait yet, worse is still to come. The law now takes the guiltless and simply rolls them off the constitution, like. Yep, that's right, dear reader, you and I don't really count where the law is concerned, because, let's face it, we are only the people. This is why it is that the complainant at the police station does not stand a fighting chance on his case if his opponent has more 'muscle' than he has. I still have a cartoon where a policeman tells a citizen to go home and arrest his own armed robber himself because, well, you know why. It is also the reason that many have fallen to the stray bullet of policemen, soldiers and irate husbands. It's a tough world.
The problem with this country is that we the citizens have developed the nasty habit of shamelessly bending the law for relatives, friends and escorts, and everyone has an endless list of those. This has led to a standing joke that Nigerians have found a shortcut to getting to heaven: it's a matter of knowing one or two powerful people. In Nigeria, we have relegated fear to the backburner. Listen, without a healthy fear of the law, people will continue to embezzle, destroy and kill. Until we develop that healthy fear, we shall continue to roll the country involuntarily towards extinction.

Re: 169.04 drivers and Xorg ABI = 3.0
I think there may be a little confusion about versions here. xserver version 1.4 (which was included in the X.org 7.3 release) has an ABI version of 2.x, which is supported. The unsupported ABI is only in the git master branch of the X server, and has not yet made it into any official releases. The Rawhide packages, despite having 1.4.x version numbers, are actually built from the development branch that will eventually become xserver 1.5, and are not endorsed or supported by the X.org Foundation. Please see
for the official X server releases. While NVIDIA can't promise that we'll support every official server release right away, we strive to support the official releases (the ones without .99 in their versions) as soon as possible.
Before an official release comes out, the ABI is a moving target so we can't mark it as supported until then. That's why some releases have partial support for bleeding-edge ABIs (e.g. the fact that 169.04 loads at all with -ignoreABI on ABI 3.0).
Hope that clears things up a bit!

2006 BEST Bowling Alley
As with so many scenes, Bill Murray puts this one over the top. Or his bowling ball does, anyway: The alley has the actor's translucent rose-in-the-middle Kingpin orb on display, along with a few other items from the Farrelly Brothers classic. Pumping music and a Rat Pack-chic lounge complete the glitzy packaging, but Kings' 16 lanes and $5 draft beers keep it firmly rooted in the throwback thrills that make rolling for strikes such a singularly good time.

Subspecies: The Hawaiian or Gray's spinner dolphin (S. l. longirostris) inhabits the waters of the Hawaiian archipelago and the eastern spinner dolphin (S. l. orientalis) is found in the eastern tropical Pacific. The eastern spinner has been declared 'depleted' under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.
In 2002 a survey estimated the number of spinner dolphins surrounding the Hawaiian islands to be about 2,805. The eastern tropical pacific population has declined 80 percent in 20 years from 2 million to 400,000.
Spinner dolphins are named for their mid-air spins where they propel themselves out of the water, flipping their bodies in a rapid log-rolling fashion. This slender species is mainly dark grey with a white under-belly; possesses a long, thin beak; and has a distinct stripe connecting the long, pointed flippers to the eyes.

Hi Guys,
I'm going through my issue since few days, spending a nights on it and still can't resolve it...
Basicaly, I have WP installed on subdirectory of my root /testowy, so when enter: http://www.szperaj.com/testowy - will load my blog. I want to use different domain - nadajesz.pl so I have changed my server settings to load what's in /testowy. Blog works fine, but when comes to register new user, user is getting link to login through: http://www.szperaj.com/testowy (as this address is recorded on settings section in WordPress). So tried to change this URL of wordpress and blog to my domain name - nadajesz.pl, then registration and login link works fine, user can login through nadajesz.pl but I don't see pictures of ads...
How should be wordpress installed properly under subdirectory and loaded from other than root domain?
many thanks or help guys!

Attention anti-gun advocates: people don't want to be victims. Gun sales in Colorado have reportedly spiked by 41 percent. The increase in sales is due to a reaction to last week's movie theater massacre, when a mad man opened fire on nearly 300 unarmed people. The theater where 12 people were killed and 53 were wounded is a gun free zone. The biggest spike in sales came the day of the shooting.
Background checks for people wanting to buy guns in Colorado reportedly increased more than 41 percent after last week's Aurora movie massacre. The Denver Post reports that firearm instructors have also seen increased interest in training needed for a concealed-carry permit.
"It's been insane," Jake Meyers, an employee at Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo in Parker told the newspaper Monday.
Between Friday and Sunday, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation approved background checks for 2,887 people who wanted to purchase a firearm — a 43 percent increase over the previous Friday through Sunday and a 39 percent jump over those same days on the first weekend of July.
The biggest spike was on Friday, when there were 1,216 checks, a 43 percent increase over the average number for the previous two Fridays.
"A lot of it is people saying, 'I didn't think I needed a gun, but now I do,' " he told the newspaper. "When it happens in your backyard, people start reassessing — 'Hey, I go to the movies.'"
Americans understand that the police have no legal obligation to protect them (see Castle Rock v. Gonzales) and that in the end, they can only protect themselves.
Just last week a 71-year-old man stopped an armed robbery because he was carrying a concealed weapon.

2 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Helpful (3)Declined OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a week – interviewed at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (London, England (UK)) in March 2014.
First round telephone interview, second round face to face, then a third round again face to face (I decided to withdraw after second stage - alarm bells ringing and bad gut feel).
Initial telephone interview they called 15 mins late, asked questions about what i knew relating to the job and then allowed me to ask questions. They wanted phone interview to just be 10 minutes (they stated this on the phone) despite being late; i kept them on the phone by asking questions about the role. Not too hard and fairly easy - just basically trying to see if you're blagging it. It seemed they were only interested in asking random technical questions at this stage rather than explaining anything in great detail about the job I applied for.
A few days passed and I was invited for a second round which was face to face (includes a 30 minute test). Again they turned up late - instead opting to get the receptionist to lead me into a room with an test paper. (To be honest I felt like i was at school again). Test paper wasnt that hard but if you lied on your CV / skills it would be. Basically if you get to this stage, you should be able to answer most questions - nothing to worry about.
Face to face was just okay - felt like they wanted to question me first rather than explain anything about the job. It did seem one way in terms of what I can offer them, what my background is, etc rather than discussing anything about the role. In the end I was forced to ask questions about what the job entailed, a typical day / tasks examples, what they currently have (in terms of set up, software, team size) and what they're looking for and so on.
I just couldnt get excited about it if truthful - they wanted someone for average money to be good at everything rather than being realistic and getting a small team together or to lower expectations rather than seeking this imaginary "superman" they're waiting for. They wanted anything and everything from one individual; business analysis, development, project management, finance knowledge and someone happy to work very long hours (10 hour days with some evening work).
It just wasnt worth it; they came across as if they didn't know what or who they wanted; instead opting for someone that can do everything (unlikely). This plus being late twice put me off and didnt carry on with the process. If you come away feeling something isnt right then walk away - you havent even got in the door so see it as a lucky escape.
I'm sure there are good teams to work with in Mitsubishi UFJ, but as with all firms a lot of it is luck - if you get a good manager willing to invest and encourage you whilst caring who you are and what you can offer then you're on to a winner. I didn't get this experience...
Interview Questions
- Asking me a few financial questions and digging deeper until i got stuck and watching how i reacted. I saw no reason to do this as it was a software development / analyst role not a finance role. Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
They treated me okay face to face but not overly warm. very long hours, asking for unrealistic skillset with average pay, disregard for my time by turning up late twice. Kind of grilled me and seemed a bit one way rather than talking like professionals.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (City of London, England (UK)) in January 2011.
Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International (subsidiary of MUFG) were quick to respond to my application, sending me online tests after a couple of days (I applied at turn of year). After passing these, I had a phone interview 1-2 weeks after. The interview was very well balanced; a good 30-45 minutes to genuinely get to know you. Questions ranged from "why our institution", "why you", just a couple of competencies, one work-based comptetency, a couple of reasonable maths questions, a couple of reasonable economics questions ("what are two way that a bank raises capital", "explain what you know by the term QE" so nothing needing an economics degree), and a chance to ask questions. The assessment centre was around two weeks later, and like the phone interview held special emphasis on personality. In the morning was an investment game, in the afternoon a 1-1 interview. My experience of the people was that they were friendly, and the atmosphere outside of the interview group was still fairly friendly and relaxed. A few days after the assessment centre, I received a call asking me to come in for a final interview with the business area leaders who were interested in me. I had two interviews the day after and only an hour after I got home I got a call with an offer. My general experience was of a friendly HR team and friendly set of bankers. Successful applicants probably always have a positive bias, but for sure I felt their attitude at interview allowed me to come into my own.

|Known for
|Entrepreneur, Engineering
Clyde Blowers
|Net worth
| £1 billion,
(US$1.4 billion) or more
James Allan "Jim" McColl OBE (b. 22 December 1951[1]) is a Scottish businessman and entrepreneur. He is responsible for the development of Clyde Blowers plc. In 2007, he was placed tenth on the Sunday Times Rich List in Scotland.[2] The Daily Record reported in November 2008 that McColl had overtaken Tom Hunter as "Scotland's richest man" with an estimated fortune of £800million.[3]
Born in Carmunnock,[4] the son of a butcher was raised in a small village outside East Kilbride,[5] and educated at Rutherglen Academy.[4]
McColl left school at 16 to take up an engineering apprenticeship with Weir Pumps of Cathcart, Glasgow. After gaining City & Guilds certificates at lower and higher level,[6] he gained a BSc Degree in Technology and Business Studies at Strathclyde University. He returned to Weir Pumps in 1978, studying for the next three years for an MBA.[7]
McColl joined Diamond Power Speciality Ltd in 1981, an engineering company supplying equipment to the power industry worldwide; during his tenure he studied part time for a Master's degree in International Accounting and Finance. Head hunted by Coopers & Lybrand, in 1985 he became a consultant, working with companies in financial difficulties that needed guidance. In 1986 he left Coopers to become a self-employed "company doctor", during which he made money through two successful turnarounds.[7]
Clyde Blowers[edit]
In 1992 McColl bought 29.9% of the family-owned engineering company Clyde Blowers plc for £1million,[6] which was then losing money on a turnover of £4million, but had a full listing on the London Stock Exchange. After taking it private and increasing his holding to 70% in 2001,[6] over the following five years Clyde Blowers bought six of eight major competitors, and now have a 55% global market share of their original core business. In May 2007, Clyde Blowers bought Weir Pumps from the Weir Group plc, the same company McColl started his career at. In September 2008, McColl led a team which enabled Clyde Blowers to acquire the entire Fluid & Power Division of Fortune 500 multi-industry company Textron, in a deal worth over $1 billion.[5] Clyde Blowers presently consists of 85 companies in 27 different countries, employing 5,000 people around the world, with an annual turnover in excess of £1.35 billion.[7]
McColl was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2001 Queen's Birthday Honours.[8] McColl won an "Alumnus of the Year" award from Strathclyde University in 1998,[9] was awarded an honorary doctorate by Napier University in 2003, and an honorary doctorate by Glasgow University in 2007.[10] McColl won the Entrepreneurial Exchange 'Entrepreneur of the Year Award' for 1999/2000, and the Ernst & Young "Master Entrepreneur of the Year Award" for 2001. In July 2005, McColl was awarded The Prince Philip Medal 2005 'Certificate of Achievement' for an outstanding contribution to the engineering industry. In May 2006, McColl was presented with a Scottish International Business Achievement award from The Princess Royal.[4] In 2006 he was awarded the Elite Insider of the Year Award and the Entrepreneurial Exchange Philanthropy Award. In 2007 Jim received an Honorary Doctor of Letters Degree by Glasgow Caledonian University. Also in 2007 he was honoured with The Standard Life Elite Insider Readers Award. In 2008 he won the Scottish Engineering Award, the Lord Provost's Award for Business and also an Honorary Doctorate of the University of Glasgow. In 2009 he became the Institute of Directors 'Director of the Year', he won the Insider Dealmaker Award for 'Deal of the Year' and 'Investment of the Year', the Great Scot Business Award and the Elite 'Leader of the Year'. He received two more Doctorates in 2010, one from Strathclyde University and one from Stirling University
Personal life[edit]
McColl and his wife Shona are now tax exiles in Monaco.[5] They also have a home outside Glasgow, and McColl is a keen car enthusiast for both modern and classic cars.
McColl is a supporter of the Scottish Government's policy of independence for Scotland and a member of the Scottish Government's Scottish Council of Economic Advisers, and spends much of his spare time working on a Glasgow based welfare-to-work programme.[11]
Possible Rangers takeover[edit]
On 28 March 2010, it was reported in the Sunday Herald that, after discussions with the Rangers Supporters Trust about a takeover designed to make the football club a supporter-owned entity, McColl was believed to be backing their bid for Rangers F.C.[12] McColl later told BBC Scotland that he had no interest in any personal financial involvement but was providing finance advice to the Rangers Supporters' Trust.[13]
However, on 14 June 2012, it was confirmed that McColl was part of a consortium, led by former Rangers manager Walter Smith, to buy the remaining parts of Rangers from liquidators BDO for £6million.[14]
