When Charles Webster was a member of the Maine House during the 1980s and 1990s, he and his Republican colleagues routinely proposed bills that would create restrictive voting laws -- or, as Webster sees it, legislation to tamp down on the rampant threat of voter fraud. "Every year we tried to solve this problem," he says, "and it was always a partisan vote," with Democrats supporting laws intended to increase turnout. As a result, Webster says, "We have one of the most loosey-goosey, lax election laws in the country."
Others would call Maine's voting laws a striking success. Most states struggle to get citizens to the polls; national turnout for a presidential election hasn't topped 60 percent since 1968, and turnout for midterm elections hovers in the 30s. That puts the United States far below the participation level in other Western democracies. Yet for the past four decades, Maine has stood apart. With an array of regulations that encourage voting -- the state has allowed voters to register on Election Day since 1973 -- Maine consistently places among the top five states for turnout. Seventy-two percent of the eligible population voted in 2008 when Barack Obama carried the state.
Republicans like Webster, who now chairs the state GOP, argue that too many people are voting in the state -- at least, too many illegal immigrants, out-of-state college students, and people who live in hotels. "What I don't want is somebody coming in stealing elections who doesn't live in the town," Webster says.
The political winds shifted Webster's way after the 2010 elections -- not just in Maine but across the country. Maine was one of 11 states where Republican majorities won control over both legislatures. This was the first time in four decades that Democrats had been out of power in the state, and the new Republican majority acted fast. After trying and failing to pass a voter -- identification law, they succeeded in repealing same-day voter registration. Republican Governor Paul LePage signed the bill in June.
The push against voting rights in Maine is just one example of the most direct assault on ballot access since the Jim Crow era. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the influential corporate-funded group that writes model bills for Republican state legislators, has pushed Republicans across the country to impose new restrictions on voting and to overturn progressive laws like Maine's. "I don't want everybody to vote," ALEC co-founder Paul Weyrich said three decades ago. "As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
Since the Voting Rights Act of 1965, states have passed a steady stream of reforms to make it easier for people to vote. Now Republicans are pushing to make voting more difficult. "This is a hard-fought privilege," one Florida state senator said earlier this year. "This is something people die for. You want to make it convenient?"
The most headline-grabbing effort has been the creation of laws requiring voters to have photo identification at the polls. Five states -- Texas, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Kansas -- have enacted strict photo-ID laws since the beginning of the year. Democrats argue that these laws have clear political motivations. Studies indicate that the groups most likely to vote Democratic -- the young, elderly, poor, mobile, and minorities -- are the ones whose members tend to lack a photo ID. The rules are often configured specifically to favor the Republican base at the expense of excluding likely Democrats. In Texas, for example, showing a military ID or a concealed-gun license will get you a ballot, but a college ID won't. As many as one in four African Americans lack the identification these states now require, leading Georgia Congressman John Lewis to call the laws "poll taxes by another name." (Under the Voting Rights Act, voter-ID laws in Texas and South Carolina must be approved by the Department of Justice because of those states' history of minority-voter suppression. At press time, the department had not yet ruled.)
But as stifling as voter-ID laws might be, a plethora of manipulations to voter-access laws pose an even larger threat. Numerous states recently have cut back on early voting, which had made it much easier for the working poor -- people who often can't get off work on Election Day -- to cast a ballot. In 2008, around 40 million Americans took advantage of early voting. That number will almost surely be lower in 2012, thanks to Republican efforts in states like Ohio. Thirty percent of Ohio's ballots in the last presidential election were cast by early or absentee voters. In March, though, the Republican -- controlled legislature reduced the state's 35-day window of early voting to 24 days of mail-in voting and just 11 days of in-person early voting. Florida also shortened its early-voting window and made things even trickier for voting-rights advocates by rewriting state laws to impose steep fines on voter-registration organizations if registration forms contain even minor mistakes. The League of Women Voters, the group at the forefront of registering voters across the country, shuttered its Florida voter-registration operation as a result.
Florida is also one of a handful of states that have rolled back voting rights for former felons. In Iowa, Governor Tom Vilsack, a Democrat, had signed an executive order in 2005 granting voting rights to felons as soon as they left prison. On his first day in office this year, Republican Governor Terry Branstad rescinded that order, removing 100,000 voters from the rolls with a stroke of his pen.
Republicans have pushed these new restrictions under the pretense of reducing voter fraud. "Protecting the integrity of our elections is central to ensuring our government has the full faith and confidence of the citizens it represents," Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said after he signed a photo-ID law. "Requiring photo identification to vote will go a long way to eliminate the threat of voter fraud. If you need an ID to buy cold medicine, it's reasonable to require it to vote." But there is scant evidence of voter fraud in any state. The Brennan Center for Justice concluded in a 2007 study that fraud was so "exceedingly rare" that a voter is more likely to be struck by lightning than to cast a fraudulent ballot. "It's a red herring," says Eric Marshall of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights. "It's a reason for them to pass restrictive legislation and limit access to the ballot box."
That's certainly been the case in Maine. When House Speaker Robert Nutting first put the repeal of same-day registration on the table this year, he argued that the measure was intended to ease the burden on county clerks overwhelmed by the number of first-time voters showing up on Election Day. When county clerks testified against that section of the bill, saying same-day registrants did not overwhelm them, the Republicans were left to rail against the threat of fraudulent voting. The only problem: No such threat exists in Maine. Only two successful prosecutions of voter fraud have occurred in the 38 years since same-day registration became the law.
Webster, the state party chair, makes no bones about the political reasons for new voting restrictions. He calls the groups that support same-day registration the "welfare coalition": "It's the give-me groups. It's the groups that want government spending." Webster has been equally explicit in his effort to prevent college students from voting in Maine -- though the U.S. Supreme Court's 1979 ruling in Symm v. U.S. clearly established that college students could register in their school's district. Webster combed through voting rolls earlier this year and published a list of 206 out-of-state students he believed may have committed voter fraud; the secretary of state, a Republican, opened an investigation. Yet after two months of digging into the allegations, the secretary's office found that none of the college students voted improperly.
At first blush, same-day registration might seem like a small-bore issue that wouldn't affect all that many potential voters. But 60,000 Mainers -- of 750,000 total voters -- took advantage of the regulation during the 2008 election, and 20,000 did so during the 2010 midterms. "Same-day registration is one of the most important measures that states can introduce to improve voter turnout," says Ann Luther of the Maine chapter of the League of Women Voters. Indeed, the nine states with same-day registration have, on average, 7 percent higher turnout than the states without those rules. That's particularly useful for younger voters. "When we dig into why, the answer is fairly straightforward," says Heather Smith, president of Rock the Vote. "They're new to the process, and they're highly mobile."
Just as African Americans are disproportionately affected by voter-ID laws, overturning same-day registration laws has a dampening effect on a particular class of people. For people who own their own home, the ability to register on Election Day is a minor concern; once you've registered, you should be set for decades. It's the mobile groups of society -- the young, the elderly, and the poor -- who need as many opportunities as possible to get themselves onto voting rolls. Renters are more likely to move in the time between elections. For the working poor, adding an extra step that requires advanced planning will only further reduce turnout -- especially among those most likely to vote Democratic. "The people who tend to be harmed by further restrictions on getting to the polls are the people who are on the margins anyway," says Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School. "Most voters see these new re-strictions as minor hassles that they can easily overcome. But that leaves a substantial minority -- upwards of millions of people -- for whom what seems like minor hassles turns out to be a pretty big deal."
Mainers are fighting back against the repeal of same-day registration. Protect Maine Votes, an organization made up of 18 voting-rights groups, gathered more than 70,000 signatures in less than four weeks to get a referendum on this November's ballot to overturn the new law. While Protect Maine Votes is urging voters to continue the state's history of open elections, Republicans are relying on the fear of stolen elections. "In the end, the issue will be: Do people believe our system is free of fraud, or do they believe it's got fraud?" Webster says. "If they believe it's free of fraud, then they'll keep the law."
While the referendum's organizers say they're confident that Maine voters will support same-day registration, they worry about what happens to voter participation in future elections if the referendum fails. "I don't know how far it will drop the first year," says David Farmer, communications director for Protect Maine Votes, "but I absolutely believe that the [type of] people who registered in the last two elections will go and try to vote and not be allowed."
The pushback against restrictive voting laws is picking up some steam outside of Maine. In early September, Democrats on a Senate Judiciary subcommittee held a "Barriers to the Ballot" hearing. National groups like Rock the Vote have also begun to raise awareness about the impact of these new regulations. "It appears some of these politicians are more interested in deciding who the electorate is than in letting the electorate decide who represents them," Smith says. "And that, to me, is something worth standing up against."

I thought you collectivists had nothing but contempt for "low information voters". Therefor, why would you encourage them to show up at the polls?
Remember that the Founding Fathers did NOT intend voting to be a right, but an earned privelege. Their debates and early laws show that clearly. They knew that their republic had to have a responsible electorate. You had to own land, employ others or engage in some sort of productive activity.
I like Heinlein's suggestion, in Starship Troopers, that you be required to solve a simple quadratic equation before voting. At the least you should be required to not be a net beneficiary of government in order to vote. Allowing the people to vote themselves largess out of the public treasury is one reason for my sig:
Atlas Shrugged was supposed to be a warning, NOT a newspaper!

I think any intelligent person understands the politics behind the Republican sponsored legislation that undermind voter participation but what we don't get is why Pre. Obama and the Democratic leadership have sat quietly while this occurs. They have taken no preventative steps to ensure that their base is educated, registered, and ready to overcome these political obstacles. Once again, they have miserably failed to challenge Republicans.

Americans fought and died for equality in the 1860s , and marched and died for the right to vote in the 1960s. What is wrong with this country that there is not outrage, total outrage, at this subterfuge being led by today's Republican party? For every documented instance of voter fraud over the past decade or two there have been a thousand -- ten thousand? -- many orders of magnitude more cases of vote suppression. Long lines of disenfranchised voters and dumpstered ballots have tipped critical elections and laid the groundwork for even further restrictions on voter rights. Enough! It is time for a natonal "Occupy Democracy" movement that insists on restoration of voter rights. Thank you, American Prospect, for shining a light on this national shame.

EV Vault Partititon 100% full
What happened when the EV Vault Store reach 100% ?
can I still retrieve the old data from the EV Vault ?
Comments 15 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Well, the Storage service will stop when the partition is 95% full. EV will start generating events when the partitions passes 90% unless you disable it from monitoring, which I would NOT recommend.
You would be able to retrieve data, unless you are using collections and don't have enough space to extract the cab file.
Lets just hope you never get to that scenario!
It will generate the Event ID :
Event ID :4141
Insufficient diskspace is available on drive { } for the Enterprise Vault to run Enterprise Vault will now be shut down; to correct this problem, delete any unwanted files and restart Enterprise Vault.
This will helpful :
How the Enterprise Vault (EV) NTFS Collector works.
Bottom line is, you really don't want your partitions to get past 90%. EV will alert you once you get to 90% but your storage team should be monitoring the partitions and not let it get that far.
Thanks for the reply Tony, however I wish I had that team, we don't have it in our company.
So I wonder if EV itself actually does sends out email / warning / alert for any issue ?
Kind regards,

Hostages held at natural gas facility in Algeria
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg (R) and Minister Of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide address a press conference on January 16, 2013 in Oslo, Norway on the hostage-taking at a Norway's energy group Statoil gas plant in Algeria.
A military operation is underway to free hostages, including several Americans, being held at a natural gas facility in Algeria. It's believed the action may be in response to French military operations against Islamist militants in neighbouring Mali.
The kidnappers, which Algeria says are linked to a senior al-Qaeda commander in the region, occupied the plant on Wednesday morning and took many workers captive.
The plant supplies gas to Europe and is a joint operation between BP, Norwegian energy firm Statoil, and Algeria's state oil company Sonatrach.
Reports suggest some of the hostages may have escaped while others have been killed during the operation by Algerian government forces.
The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Correra says these facilities are rarely targeted and the crisis will raise questions about the level of security that companies and governments provide for foreign energy workers at other potentially vulnerable sites.

Clean, could be friendlier. The bedroom and bathroom have no natural light (the bathroom could easily be changed to amend this. Only one other room occupied but could hear every word said. As other rooms weren't occupied, it would have been a friendly gesture to offer me an upgrade to a room with a window. I sincerely doubt I'll stay there again.

I. The Best Software to Find the Lexicographic (or Lexicographical) Index
II. Types of Sets and Their Lexicographical Ordering
III. Analysis of Lexicographical Order, Indexing, Ranking
IV. Resources in Lexicographic Order, Formulas, Algorithms, Software
ï LexicographicSets.exe ~ Combinatorics software.
Any finite number of elements can be put together in groups based on certain rules. Such groups are known as sets.
There are four distinct types of sets, from the most inclusive to the least inclusive: Exponents, permutations, arrangements, combinations.
We know very well now how to calculate all possible elements in every type of numerical sets. We can also write software to generate all possible elements in every type of sets: Combinatorics or Mathematics of Exponents, Permutations, Arrangements, Combinations. I am the author of such incredible software: PermuteCombine.exe. It is well-known all over the world, especially for its uniqueness. It is the universal calculator and generator for exponents, permutations, arrangements and combinations. The generation can be set for any numbers or words. As of this time of writing (2009), no other piece of software can do what PermuteCombine.exe can perform.
So, we want to generate all combinations in that lotto game where they draw 6 winning numbers from a field of 49. We can set a program such as PermuteCombine.exe to generate all possible combinations in the game (set). If the program is well-written and accurate, it should generate 13,983,816. The generating process will start with this typical combination:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The generating will end with this combination:
44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49.
We can see that the combinations are generated sequentially, or in lexicographic (lexicographical) order, from the 1st sequence to the last.
There are situations when generating all the elements in a set and counting them, and then looking for a particular element is not an efficient process. We can see very easily what the first element in a combination set is, without complex calculations or algorithms.
The combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 comes to mind automatically in the case of a lotto 6ñfrom-49 game (any 6-number lotto game, actually). Also easy: What is the combination of lexicographical order (or index) 13983816 in a lotto 6ñof-49 game? Answer: 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49.
But how about index (or numeral orders) such as 77889, or 1000000, or 6991908? The index #6,991,908 is right in the middle of the set. It is represented by the lotto 6-49 combination 6-7-16-20-28-47.
The calculations are instantaneous with my own program LexicographicSets.exe. The software is founded on some known algorithms, released in the public domain, and mostly on my own algorithms.
The permutations are also known as factorial, as far as calculation is concerned. Factorial of N or N! = 1 x 2 x 3 x Ö x N. The factorials grow extremely rapidly.
The arrangements of N elements taken M at a time are calculated as N x (N-1) x (N-2) x (N-M+1). The exactas (top two finishers), or trifectas (top three finishers), or superfectas (top four finishers) in horse racing are some of the most common representations of the arrangements.
The combination formula is: Combinations (N, M) = Arrangements (N, M) / Permutations (M).
The combinations are the best-known element of the four mathematical entities. The lotto draws are some of the most common representations of the combinations. The software also covers Powerball-type of combinations; i.e. the last number (the 'power ball') can be equal to any of the previous numbers in the combination.
Then, I applied both types of algorithms to all four types of sets: Exponents, permutations, arrangements, and combinations. I developed the combinations sets to further dimensions, by creating lexicographic algorithms for two-in-one phenomena (such as Powerball lotto). To this date and my best knowledge, I am the only author of algorithms for lexicographic ordering for all four numeric sets.
Publishing and analyzing the algorithms are tasks beyond the scope of this book. Again, my website is open for business, including in this field. A simple search would lead to many resources at SALIU.COM, including the one-of-a-kind software (nowhere else to be found).
The lexicographical order is very important, however. We notice the case of lotto games, where most combinations appear to be truly random to laypersons. They assess that a combinations like 6-7-16-20-28-47 appears to be truly random. On the other hand, the infamous combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 doesn't appear to be truly random; it appears to be strongly ordered.
In fact, the determining factor is the standard deviation. I call standard deviation the watchdog of randomness. The extremes of the set (the beginning and the end) have combinations with very low standard deviations. Meanwhile, combinations with higher lexicographic orders (ranks, indexes) come from the inside of the set; their standard deviation is closer to the median. The common perception is that the higher the standard deviation the more random a combination is!
Searching on lexicographical, lexicographic, sets, permutations, combinations, etc. etc. yields probably over 100,000 unique search hits! It's a huge mess! Tons of algorithms and source code in every imaginable programming language! I couldn't go too far. I saw newsgroups postings from the early 1980's. It didn't look to me that the issue was ever solved. I mean, I couldn't find the 'mother of all sets generating'; or the 'mother of all lexicographical indexes'! That finding corroborates with the requests I received to write specific lexicographical indexing and generating software. I was unable to find comprehensive software to tackle sets generating and lexicographic indexing. I know, the Internet is of gigantic proportions. I assume, however that the two programs I wrote represent the most comprehensive answer to sets generating and lexicographic indexing. The accuracy is also a very important issue. From what I was able to read, there has been a lot of bickering in the newsgroups. It appears that many attempts to tackle the job resulted in faulty algorithms and/or software. I can guarantee that my (comprehensive) software is fault-free to a very high degree. I haven't been able to find a wrong result in quite a few tries.
Speed of execution is also a very important issue. The combinations functions are as fast as it gets. The exponential functions are also close to 'as fast as it gets'. The arrangements functions are slower. The permutations functions are the slowest. I have multiple methods at my disposition. I chose the most accurate ones. Given time, I may come back and insert faster methods. For now, accuracy comes first and second. Speed comes in the third place.
The saying goes that the universities make public the algorithms and source code. Therefore I should make my stuff public, too. Well, the universities are funded. I am not a university and am not funded. Nevertheless, I offer a lot of free software of my own, probably more freeware than most universities.

Going barefoot is to go without the assistance of any type of footwear including shoes, boots, socks, wraps, etc.
Be it an "unopenable" door, a sprawling fence, a sudden outcropping of land, an ocean, a cliff (often a deadly ocean/cliff combo,) a broken-down car, an "invisible wall," or large trees; barriers in video games manifest themselves in a variety of forms (physical and otherwise).
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
The act of using your buddy as a platform to reach higher ground or cover more distance.
When a character from an existing media franchise makes a brief appearance in a video game, sometimes without even openly acknowledging their origins.
A Boss fight that can only be won by climbing onto the enemy.
Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
A page devoted to cataloguing and explaining appearances and the use of concept art in games.
Cooperative play in games allows humans to play together as a team to accomplish a task. Instead of playing against a human opponent, the team must defeat an AI.
Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
Dancing is the movement of a body, usually rhythmic and to some kind of music. A lot of times, it happens between two people and may be romantic. Shake your booty!
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
A female version of an already established male character. Normally is a female relative, significant other, or one that's picked up the mantle of his identity.
A double jump is the ability to jump while already in mid-air to get some extra lift. In reality, double jumps are not possible and violate fundamental laws of physics.
When the player's actions trigger a change in the game's soundtrack. This adds a cinematic quality to the gameplay.
Electricity is commonly used as a damage-introducing element causing inanimate objects to become harmful (electrified water, floors, cables, etc). It can also refer to a power wielded by characters that generates sparks, is conductive to metal surfaces, forks or branches, and is often blue in color.
When a song is played over the end-credits, often by a famous artist.
Any weapon that shoots laser and plasma beams or energy bolts rather than conventional bullets.
An environmental hazard that can be exploited to inflict massive areal damage, exploding barrels are one of the most ubiquitous objects to be found in games. The most common methods of ignition include shooting and throwing. Exploding barrels are usually distinguished from the non-exploding kind by a conspicuous red tint.
In real life, vehicles rarely explode unless an actual explosive device is involved. Like, it almost never happens. In video games, on the other hand, cars will blow up real good with almost no encouragement.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
This concept is for games where the main playable character is female.
FMVs are pre-rendered videos used in place of real-time graphics. Using FMV was an attempt to make videogames look "more like movies", sometimes with CGI animation and others with live-action actors speaking directly to players. The downside is that FMV requires a lot of disk space, and live-action FMV in particular can look terrible by comparison.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
When there is in-game advertising in one game for a different title, normally one by the same developer.
Microsoft's PC branch of its Live service. Lends the same functionality as Xbox Live Gold to Games For Windows games including cross-platform compatibility for achievements, friends & messages, downloadable content, and in some cases, multiplayer.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.

Arizona Coyotes
Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers: I'm confident Coyotes will stay in the Valley
GLENDALE -- Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers said Friday that two groups have contacted him about possibly buying the Phoenix Coyotes after potential buyer Greg Jamison failed to meet the January 31 deadline. Weiers will not release the names of the groups and said no offers were made, but that he received credible expressions of interest.
"We have a great opportunity right now that we may end up with a better situation for our city taxpayers and keep the Coyotes here," Weiers said. "That would be the ideal situation for everybody."
Glendale was prepared to agree with Jamison on a lease deal worth $308 million that would have kept the Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena for the next 20 years. That deal is now off the table, and the next buyer will not get the same offer because Weiers doesn't believe the new city council has the will to further deals that were made by previous leaders.
The mayor has assured NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman that he wants the Coyotes to stay but not on the city's dime.
"Not on our taxpayers back and not at the risk of losing public safety," said Weiers. "When someone calls 911 they don't want a Zamboni to show up. They want a fire truck or a police car to show up."

Looking for a used pool table is a great way to go even if you are not on a strict budget
Well made pool table don't go out of style and are quite indestructible to an extent. A solid wood construction along with a well crafted slate under belly will last for many years. The felt may wear and even the leather pockets may become a little lack luster but those a relatively inexpensive and easy fixes for any pro billiards expert. Brand new felt, leather pockets and even new rails on a solid and hand built pool table will make it like new.
Get Sweet Deal – Be Patient
Without losing quality discovering affordable slate pool tables might be more easy than you might imagine. There really are several other ways you can have the ability to get a good quality table than you'd anticipate, that's lighter in the pocketbook. Estate sales are an excellent way of discovering slate pool tables priced quite low. Lots of individuals don't want to keep this type of big piece of amusement gear. For the billiards enthusiast, this can be an excellent chance. Pool tables can be bought by you at estate sales in a portion of the shop value and price. It's worth calling ahead and asking if they've any "game room" materials. Including air hockey tables, dart boards, and (of course) pool tables.
Garage sales might be another good method to locate affordable slate pool tables. Many times during spring cleaning, a wife will need her husband dispose of some his "playthings". Additionally, when a kid goes off to school, the may leave behind game room materials that litter is just seen as by their parents. In all such cases, you may find a way to get a table in a price that is ridiculously low. The sellers are mainly looking to clear things from their property, although they want to earn some gain.
Police auctions, where the sellers sell things seized from offenders, may be a gold mine for game room things, including slate pool tables that are absurd affordable. Some world class and pretty lavish quality tables can be had for costs more suitable to big chain Made-in-China budget tables. It takes a little footwork to get the auction dates and also you don't understand what you'll find. Still, it will be highly uncommon that you really go without coming away using a low-cost table that will ordinarily be painfully expensive to over a few.
The last solution to locate slate pool tables in a cost that is low is by keeping an eye. The most effective chance is presented by variety and gaming supply shops. Rock bottom prices are nearly constantly featured by liquidation sales. In case the shop had a table which you had your eyes on, you are not going to get a better opportunity to pick up it at far lesser cost than standard. Having a downturn that was long, lots of folks have cut down on such outlays. Shops need to clear their stock annual. In a specific stage, selling things at a loss costs cash that is less than alternatives. Costs could be slashed drastically when there's plenty of old stock. It is possible to get a slate pool table in a steal of a price!

Re: Nvidia GeForce GT 220 + Ubuntu 9.10 = No audio over HDMI?
Here is the Fix for your card. paoleary was kind enough to develop a patch against Alsa 220.127.116.11 and I have it working and tested on nvidia drivers
185 - 190 - 195 - and finally 195.36.03
I have one card in a Zotac IONITX-F-E with the ion chip disable and 512Mb still shared from the bios. The card here is a GT220 Asus that I made Passive via my Zalman VNF-100 it runs less than 50C all the time in an Antec Fusion 430 with only one of the 120mm fans hooked up. I also am running XBMC, Myth 9.10 and watching Blu Rays natively via makemkv with TrueHD and LPCM - DTS-HD of course is stripped down to the core.
The other is a GT240 in an Asus P5N7A-VM again wiht XBMC - Myth 9.10 - Blu-Ray all runs fine with multi-channel audio and hdmi of the card.
On-board sound is disabled on both boards but it did not have to be. Channel Mapping still seems to be my issues and 24Hz playback of VC1 encoded files is highly unwatchable via xbmc/ffmpeg all other formats are fine at 24Hz. ffmpeg and feature set C cards have a ways to go.
Mythbuntu 9.10 - XBMC SVN27017 - NV 195.36.03 - NV GT220 - NVGT240.

Established 2011
Inspired by fashion, music, contemporary British art and pop culture and influenced by classic iconography and illustrations Constant and True was born as a Victorian Punk fashion label.
The very first collection was both whimsical and cutting edge. The initial designs were created by hand using decoupage and traditional English arts and crafts techniques. A mismatch of stunning victorian floral imagery and illustrations infused with a modern and electric colour palette. These stunning designs were available on a collection of organic and bamboo T-shirts and homeware.
Constant and Trues first collection was quickly recognised, admired and in demand. Interest picked up in the fashion press and from international buyers and the label attracted a loyal fan base.
Constant and True 2011 Artist Collaboration Series
After the success of the first C&T collection it was decided that as a way forward the label would to promote contemporary british art by collaborating with well inspirational and emerging artists. Established and celebrated modernist artist Gavin Turk was the first to come on board commissioning the design "Merlot Stain" to be reproduced on Constant and Trues napkin range. The result was a very fun addition to many a dinner party table in London over the holiday season. Constant and True appeared with Gavin at The Art Car Boot Fair in London a well known collectors fair. This collection is now a collectors item and the set comes with an authenticity certificate.
2012 was an exciting and dynamic year for Constant and True for the third collection they collaborated again with the best of British. The multi talented and beautiful Polly Morgan, modern artist and Taxidermist commissioned six stunning black and white sketches for the brand. These sketches appeared throughout the collection on T's, sweatshirts women and mens and both in the homeware range.
This collection appeared at both The Art Car Boot Fair in 2012 and then was selected by Selfridges London to show at the prestigious pop up " The Wonder Room" and in their online store. These collections were also available from The Cross in Notting Hill, were featured at Shoreditch Houses fashion sale and at The Art Car Boot Fair.
After the runaway success of their labels first collection with Polly Morgan. Constant and True was very excited to collaborate again with the best of British for their Spring Summer collection. This time returning to their roots of vibrant colours, Polly Morgan commissioned her famous animal illustrations in fluorescent primary colours for the brand. The result was both daring and exciting and collection which was both on trend and fashion forward.
Constant and True decided to concentrate solely on their homeware collection whilst the brand restructured. Inundated with orders and requests for special commissions for private events C&T found new clientele and building on those relationships their decorators, stylists, corporate clients and celebrity wedding and event planners. The homeware label continues to gather positive press and appeared in several home and design publications to date.
True Rocks is a collaboration between Emily Bradbury of vintage Victorian punk label "Constant and True" who has a strong reputation for creating innovative product ranges & collaborating with leading British artists including Polly Morgan, and Dawn Hindle, Founder and Creative Director of the globally renowned music and lifestyle brand "Ibiza Rocks" which includes the iconic boutique hotel "Ibiza Rocks House at Pikes" – seeped in rock 'n'roll history, home to all the artists and DJ'.
Emily and Dawn have created a unique jewellery brand that reflects their lifestyle and influences including music, fashion and art.
The collaboration for a new jewellery brand, True Rocks was established when Emily and Dawn met in Ibiza in last summer when Dawn was hosting a gig for The Specials.
"It was a meeting of the minds. We knew that we were going to work together creatively and decided that we wanted to also collaborate with those who inspire us in contemporary art, fashion and music. By creating a jewellery collection under the banner of True Rocks, this reflects both our personalities – in other words, a jewellery collection with attitude".
In developing their brand Emily and Dawn have created a distinctive style of their own. Setting a trend amongst the music and fashion industry, Idris Elba snapped up the first Rich Tea necklace designed by iconic British artist Gavin Turk before the Haim sisters and Lily Allen rocked their personal favourite pieces on stage during their Ibiza Rocks and Glastonbury gigs. This incredible collaboration between two genuinely passionate and creative forces will ensure that the bold and the beautiful are adorned in True Rocks signature style, all summer long

Looks like maybe your days of pulling in the big bucks aren't over yet, Carrot Top. You still have that giant trunk of novelty props, right? At least we hope that the case, given that comedian Gallagher is selling his props to save his home in Los Angeles. The famous funnyman must unload a wide variety of his fantastical giant comedy items to keep the bank from seizing his home, reports TMZ. Gallagher confirmed that he's facing financial issues and as such is looking to unload "giant bowling pins, an oversized tricycle, a bike contraption, tons of weird contraptions and a 1989 Mercedes." If that last item seems a little too normal for your taste, don't worry; Gallagher as of yet has been unable to locate it's key. So really it's like a giant vintage paperweight! Perfect for an office at a clown college, perhaps.
As if the idea of Gallagher wandering the streets with only his sledge-o-matic and watermelon rinds to keep him warm, Gallagher had a heart attack last week on top of everything else. After collapsing on stage at a show in Rochester, MN, the comedian said he's doing "fine" and looking forward to working again. Though if all his props are gone, Gallagher might have to switch to some Seinfeld-style observational humor instead. Don't you get any ideas, Carrot Top. Once all your rubber chickens are sold off, that's it. You're done.

The Art Of Big Ang
Angela "Big Ang" Raiola, the breakout star of Mob Wives, is the inspiration for new street art popping up around the country. VH1 has exclusive video of the artists in action and there's even a Foursquare guide to tracking their locations.
Our trusty BuzzFeeder, Whitney Jefferson, first spotted one in Brooklyn a few weeks ago.
And now, they are all over the place.
VH1 created a Foursquare app to track all the locations. No word if there's a Big Ang Lips badge for checking in.
This mural was found in Chicago.
It's no Banksy but it's still pretty awesome.

A look at Iran nuclear sites from mine to reactor
11/20/2013 12:06pmNuclear talks resume Wednesday between Iran and world powers after the last round stalled over issues that include Iran's planned heavy water reactor and the levels of uranium enrichment. Iran later agreed to provide U.N. nuclear inspectors with greater information and access, but it's uncertain whether the concessions will be enough to push envoys in Geneva closer to a deal. Iran seeks a rollback in U.S.-led economic sanctions, while the West is pressing it to curb its uranium enrichment _ the process to make nuclear fuel. In the past decade, Iran's nuclear program has advanced on many fronts and more facilities are planned.

It is one of four new Dior Addict Extreme nail polish shades and is a big nod to the colour blocking trend. I don't think my photo fully captures just how gorgeous this shade is. It is a beautiful bright pinky red, super shiny and super easy to apply. I love it.

Can anyone say surprise autocross?!
I can't say for certain what she thinks about my driving on the street, but she very much enjoys ridealongs and autocrossing herself.
I can't think of a single time she's complained. In fact,...
Why not? You've been good to it, it's been good to you. If you feel like it, get the oil changed before you go so you don't have to think about getting it changed at an unfamiliar shop.
+1! You should fire me a PM!
What a great development! I hope he is able to make a good recovery and have decent quality of life. :heart:

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 shines bright
Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 is the first Android tablet that could replace an iPad
For years we've been reading about the alleged iPad killer, a mythical device that never arrives. There have been impressive Android tablets in recent months, but on the whole, it's been clear to everyone but the most ardent Android fanboy that Apple's iPad is the superior tablet in almost every way.
But the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to be released in the United States tomorrow changes the game. I've been using a loaner unit for a couple days now, and it's the first Android tablet that I could see replacing my iPad. It certainly bests Samsung's previous flagship, the Galaxy Tab 2. Samsung has succeeded in making the Note a great tablet, with very nice user interface enhancements that add up to a satisfying and, dare I say, intuitive experience. Samsung has amped up and improved on the good Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich," with close attention to detail and user experience -- Apple's hallmarks. Best of all, the hardware looks and feels great.
The innovations in a nutshell
Samsung has done more than smooth out the Android experience. The Note takes the intriguing pen capabilities from the 5-inch Galaxy Note "phablet" and brings a more sophisticated version of them to the tablet. Many people like the phablet, but I found it too small to use as a tablet and too big to use as a smartphone. The screen was too large for thumb-typing, for example, yet too small for reading my calendar.
I have no such reservations about the Note 10.1. The 10-inch tablet is the perfect size for a pen interface -- there's enough screen real estate to doodle and annotate, and the onscreen keyboard is quite easily typed on -- like the iPad's keyboard, but with Android 4's better complement of onscreen keys (such as numerals being available on the main keyboard). It's the right combination of pen and keyboard.
