Laptop display not working? 3 possible solutions to do yourself25
www.exforexbroker.com In this video i explain three possible solutions to a blank, black, not working laptop display which you can do yourself before bringing it to a professional. 1) Drain "ALL" excess charge from the laptop (you would be surprised how many laptops display will fire up from this simple step). Then fire the laptop back up. 2) you may have a corrupted RAM chip (or your RAM/memory slot could be dirty or corrupted) Change the RAM and/or change RAM slots. I even solved display issues on a PC with this step. If you don't have a spare RAM chip, order one, its cheap now days. Just make sure you buy the correct one. Below are common RAM chips for cheap. 4GB– www.amazon.com 2GB– www.amazon.com 1GB– www.amazon.com 3) Sync an external monitor to replace the display from the laptop. Hook up the laptop to an external monitor then press a toggle key (ex. FN+F5, or F4, or F10 depending on your laptop. You can do this with a blank laptop display. If these steps dont resolve your issue then it could be the back light display, video card, mother board, loose connections or many other possible causes. Post a comment if you need help or which one of the 3 steps resolved your issue. PS. if your PCs display does not come on, try to reset the cmos/bios. I just assisted a youtuber with his issue and he simply reset the jumpers on his PC and everything is back up and running now. And please SUBSCRIBE: www.youtube.com

In a new report released this morning, February 10, 2013, The Chronicle of Philanthropy has ranked the 50 donors who gave the most to charitable causes in 2013. Contributions were in excess of $7.5 billion; an increase of 4 percent over 2012 donations.
According to the Chronicle, the 2013 stock market surge was the driver behind the surge, but one expert suggests 'the inter-generational transfer of wealth is kicking into high gear and that charities can count on getting lots of big gifts in 2014 and beyond'. Claire Costello, a philanthropic executive at U.S. Trust, said, "There is a glut of money out there."
The Giving Pledge, announced by Warren Buffett and Bill gates in 2010, is a campaign to encourage the wealthiest people in the world to give most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. There are currently 122 individuals/couples who have signed the pledge. According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, 23 individuals/couples who appeared on the Philanthropy 50 list also were on the Forbes 400 list, giving a total of $4.8-billion in 2013.
As reported on January 1, 2014, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's co-founder and his wife, Priscilla Chan, topped the Philanthropy 50 list with a gift to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation of close to $1 billion, which made the organization one of the largest foundations in the country. They were also among the youngest top donors during the year. However, there is little to demonstrate a large increase in young donors. The median age of those on the Philanthropy 50 list is 72.5 years.
Colleges and Universities received the most charitable gifts; 30 educational institutions received approximately $2.6 billion in 2013. Among the largest benefactors are Irwin and Joan Jacobs (No.8), who provided $133 million to create the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Innovation Institute at Cornell NYC Tech. The Institute will promote business ventures between academia and industry. Mr. Jacobs said, "it's a very exciting approach being able to train more students and encourage them to become entrepreneurs. Hopefully, there will be many companies that come out of this and create jobs." John List, an economist at the University of Chicago who studies fundraising said, "When you look at what's driving innovation in our society, much of it is coming from higher education. Many state universities are facing crippling budgets because state legislatures are cutting funds. They have to rely on private donors to keep programs going."
There were 14 private foundations who received the second largest amounts; approximately $2.1 billion. But, according to the Chronicle, 'other big donors focused beyond the local level. John and Laura Arnold (No.4), who gave $296.2 million in 2013, loaned $10 million to the National Head Start Association in October to keep 7,000 children in programs that have either closed or were set to be shuttered as a result of the federal-government shutdown. Improving government accountability and efficiency is one of the Arnold's main missions, and they are especially focused on education and criminal justice. They are major players in supporting pay-for-success programs, also known as social impact bonds. Josh McGee, the foundation's vice president for public accountability said, " Profits or not, the Arnolds are going to reinvest whatever money they get back getting other social-impact bonds off the ground. We think it's a really good tool to facilitate government trying promising, innovative approaches to social programs."
Top donors gave very little to environmental causes, children and youth groups or public broadcasting in 2013. Hospitals and medical centers came in at No.3, receiving charitable gifts totaling approximately $343.9 million.

In the new movie "Fright Night," Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays a character who's hot on the heels of a predator. It's a role in which he's had some practice. Back when he was 17, Mintz-Plasse and his friends actually played a game called "Predator." On the season premiere of "When I Was 17" this Saturday at 11 a.m. ET, Mintz-Plasse recounts how one particularly intense game ended with him crashing his car.
"When I was 17, this is a game in the valley that you play with your friends, it's called 'Predator,' " Mintz-Plasse explains. "You start at a friend's house, two people get in the backseat, and they get blindfolded so they don't know where they're going.
"So, you drop them off on a corner somewhere and take the blindfolds from them. The car goes back to the house, and when that happens, that's when the game actually starts."
The goal for his passengers was to find a way back to home base without getting tagged, but Mintz-Plasse wasn't about to let that happen. He decided to drive especially rough to confuse his blindfolded friends before dropping them off. But, his efforts went one step too far.
"I was driving, and I like to mess with my friends, so I was really trying to get in their heads," he recalls. "And I was just jerking left and right, and then I hit the gas pedal going up a hill, and I turn the wheel, and I lost control, and the two right wheels went up. It was horrifying. It almost tipped over this way, but I grabbed the wheel and spun it back down."
While his quick thinking might have helped him avoid a major accident, he still faced some damage. "As the car slammed, it just spun up on a curb and ran into a fence," he says.
Luckily, everyone walked away without injuries, but his parents were less than pleased when they heard the news. "My parents were pissed," he adds.
Find out whether Mintz-Plasse got to keep his car keys on the season premiere of "When I Was 17" this Saturday.
"When I Was 17" — this week featuring Bow Wow, Christopher Mintz-Passe and Colbie Caillat — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV.

Do you deliver or engage?
Antonio Petra
Issued by:
Antonio swings the focus directly to Web Analytics in South Africa -
When a customer asks your for a report do you deliver or engage them? There is a shift in Web Analytics in South Africa as more clients are becoming aware of the availability of
Clickstream Data
and free Web Analytics options like Google Analytics and are requesting information on their websites performance.
The question is when they request this data from you do you just send them the numbers or do you engage with them? Sending them the numbers in the form of a Excel or PDF report is often the most common solution to making these kind of requests go away, and I've noticed that reports from our clients that I have seen, even ones that have been the result of massive campaign expenditure, more often than not take this format.
When you send a client a report on something they have to interpret, more than likely they're either just going to dismiss it or simply email you back a list of questions, which is actually their way of pleading with you to help them understand their data.
What you are not doing is actually explaining why an banner placement out performed another of instance, or why users who landed on a certain page had a greater propensity to purchase. All of these learning's from web analytics and reporting are thrown down the drain with the same mistakes to be repeated over again. This leaves no gap for campaign optimisation and in the long run leaves you open to an attack from another company who will raise this as a concern when pitching for your clients business.
Aside from this obvious downfall of not engaging clients, you are also not helping clients understand how their business fairs online, you are not offering them insight into business critical questions which their website may be able to answer, or giving them insight into improving their business online. By simply delivering a report to them you're trivialising reporting, what you're saying is that they shouldn't care about reporting.
The question for them is then if they shouldn't care that much about web analytics reports, why then should they care when you increase their Search Engine traffic by 150% with a 18% increase in conversion.
Engaging with your client in reporting is part education and it does require effort. The effort is with it though, because when the time comes and you spot an opportunity through your web analytics reports you can be on the same page about the importance of a large scale or rapid roll-out of a solution.
A lack of engagement is a massive opportunity loss in the development of your relationship with the client, and your ability to justify additional development expenditure on the website.
The feeling I get is that most Suppliers who have the capability to deliver reporting are afraid that by educating their clients in reporting they will expose the clients to the bad decisions made during the development of the website, or the underperforming area's in their conversion strategy. And yes, you probably will, but if you get your client to that level of understanding then they will more than likely understand that the web and in fact business in general is fraught with strategic mistakes, and we all know that it's better to try and fail than to not try at all.

The Fingers
this wiki
- "From the east coast of the Vale, the Fingers reach out into the Narrow Sea...rocky peninsulas plagued by the wind and rain, and barren to all but the hardiest of weeds."
- ―Petyr Baelish
The Fingers is a region on the east coast of the Vale of Arryn, located along the shores of the Narrow Sea. It consists of five long, slender peninsulas extending into the sea, divided by bays, inlets and channels. House Baelish rules over the smallest of the Fingers.[1]
Petyr Baelish, who holds a keep in the smallest of the Fingers, is popularly called 'Littlefinger' for his small size during his childhood and the location of his family's lands.
In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Fingers are lonely, cold and windswept. The Andals landed on the Fingers during their invasion of Westeros and weathered stones bearing the symbol of the Faith of the Seven can be found dotted along the shore in some areas.
House Baelish owns a small, unassuming tower on the smallest of the Fingers without name or maester.
In "House Baelish (Histories & Lore)", Baelish says that the Fingers consist of four peninsulas, but the World of Ice and Fire sourcebook (2014) confirms that there are actually five fingers (the title "Lord of the Five Fingers" was used by the rulers of an Andal proto-kingdom). "Littlefinger" Baelish is from the smallest of these, the northernmost, nearest to the Three Sisters islands. The mistake is easy to make: the peninsula is so "little" that it isn't clear just by looking at a map if it is actually considered a "peninsula" or just a variation of the shape of the coastline. It also was never stated before the World book exactly how many peninsulas make up "the Fingers".

Plugged In
A CURE in a lick of time
By Karl Geiger 05/09/2013
"A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down," sang Julie Andrews in Disney's 1964 film "Mary Poppins." But what if medicine need not be swallowed at all?
Many medications, vitamins and supplements work in very, very small doses. Much of what makes up a pill we swallow or injection we get are added ingredients that make the product large enough to handle, weigh and dispense conveniently. For example, the recommended daily dose of vitamin D is only 10-15 micrograms (mcg: millionth of a gram). The rest of the vitamin D pill's material is simply there to hold the vitamin D dose while we swallow it.
Medicines we take in pill or injection can be absorbed directly through the skin or mouth, however, so long as there is some way to carry the active ingredients.
CURE Pharmaceutical (http://curepharmaceutical.com/) has been hard at work solving this problem. "We're looking for ways to make drugs more accessible," said CURE's Chief Science Officer Edward Maliski, Ph.D. CURE facilities combine a research and development and manufacturing center in a 25,000-square-foot building located in Oxnard.
Maliski helped found CURE in 2010. He is a research scientist whose 30-year career prior to CURE includes work at Amgen, Merck & Co., and the Sterling-Winthrop and Glaxo Research Institutes. CURE's other principals are CEO Robert Davidson, CMO Jon Turman, COO Wayne Nasby and Director of Research Eric Allen, Ph.D. Turman, Nasby and Allen are also alumni of Thousand Oaks-based biotech giant Amgen. Davidson was CEO of InnoZen Inc. and chairman at HealthSport Inc. prior to helping found CURE.
The company's secret sauce is oral thin film (OTF) technology. Medicines are embedded in thin, dissolvable strips. Patients put the strips inside their cheeks, the "buccal" area. The strips dissolve to release medication that absorbs rapidly and directly into the bloodstream.
The secret to the secret sauce: hiding the taste of the active ingredients embedded in OTFs. Most medications, vitamins and supplements are bitter and unpleasant. CURE's Eric Allen is expert at hiding an active ingredient's taste using micro-encapsulation. Allen has also done work to deliver time-released versions of products. One such time-release CURE product, e6 Energy Strips sold by 21st Century Brands, delivers an all-day dose of caffeine, B vitamins and amino acids.
CURE also makes pain-relief products that are absorbed directly through the skin. The company developed and manufactures Fuse Science's Enerjel™, a topical pain-relief product popularized by golfer Tiger Woods. The company's complete product portfolio includes anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular drugs, anti-diarrheal and a variety of over-the-counter items such as sleep aids, stress relief, antihistamines and allergy relief, motion sickness, electrolyte replacement and dietary supplements in addition to energy strips.
CURE has also begun development of OTF medications for diseases that afflict millions around the world. Half the world's population — 3.3 billion people — is at risk from malaria. The U.N.'s World Health Organization estimates 219 million suffered from the disease in 2010, and estimates that 660,000 died. Most of the dead were children younger than 5.
Malaria treatment must be given in series over several days. The medications have been bulky and large or require mixing and consumption with water. CURE's OTF could replace these products with a lightweight, easily carried product that dissolves in the mouths of infants and children too sick or too small to swallow a pill or large amounts of liquids or syrups. And good-tasting buccal products help ensure delivery of vital medication to young children who would otherwise spit out pills and liquids.
For consumers and patients who are not suffering acute illnesses, OTF strips offer a convenient way to consume dietary supplements, pain relievers, anti-oxidants and hangover relief. The strips' flat packaging makes them lightweight to pack and carry, and they are especially easy to take for geriatric patients and for those who have difficulty swallowing. CURE's scientists are working on veterinary applications as well.
CURE Pharmaceutical hires from the pool of local, highly-skilled research and manufacturing talent. CURE's sales topped $2 million in 2012. The company continues to expand business and win new licensing and manufacturing contracts in the U.S. and around the world. As the world's population ages and increases its need for easy-to-take medication, CURE and its OTF technology will be a company and a technology to watch.

In our present uncertain environment, it is becoming increasingly important to build our 'transferable skills' for our future employability, adaptability and occupational mobility. The amount of economic restructuring presently underway will require a far more flexible workforce in the future that needs to have a wide range of transferable skills. Knowing what and where it will be is valued is becoming important for all of us to understand.
Released in late September 2011 there has been a timely report for the European Commission as part of the Social agenda for modernising Europe entitled "Transferability of Skills across Economic Sectors", ISBN 978-92-79-20946-8, doi:10.2767/40404 © European Union, 2011 found in the DG Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion section under this link: http://bit.ly/sDt14p. I think this helps build a better understanding of the different skills required and especially for me, a better structure for softer skill definitions
The background to this report is the increasing concerns within the EU as to how to improve its competitiveness and redirect the European economy towards higher added value to generate new and better jobs. This increasingly relies upon a more strategic management of human resources.
For me innovation will be a leading driver of this job and growth generation so in obtaining a deeper understanding of the present thinking in this area of skills is important one to my work on building future capabilities and capacity for innovation for my present and future clients.
The part people play and the skill set they will need are crucial for innovation's health. Clearly we are facing continual adaptation and the consistent search for adding value, not just to what we sell but also to what we have available in resources to exploit it. This report helps in reinforcing where skills fit, front and centre, to any future growth and job creation.
Establishing a skills taxonomy
There is a lack of consistent theory for defining and classifying various skills, and there is no generally accepted skills taxonomy. The project team thus decided to distinguish three categories of skills on the basis of previous analysis: 1)soft skills; 2) generic hard skills; 3)specific hard skills.
Specific hard skills are characterised by their lower level of transferability, whereas soft skills and generic hard skills are skills with high transferability across sectors and occupations and can be identified as transversal skills.
The focus here on those more transferable skills that support innovation activity.
Transversal skills that range from problem solving to interpersonal skills are considered as important for innovation. Having these skills, which can be transferred from one context to another, is a good basis for accumulation of specific skills required by a given job expected in managing a robust innovation pipeline and portfolio to deliver new growth opportunities.
Within the report I find it is interesting that they have identified 22 soft skills within 5 clusters
Cluster one: Personal effectiveness skills:
Self-control and stress resistance; Self-confidence; Flexibility; Creativity; Lifelong learning. These skills reflect some aspects of an individual's maturity in relation to himself/herself, to others and to work. They are related to performance of an individual when dealing with environmental pressures and difficulties.
Cluster two: Relationship and service skills:
Interpersonal understanding; Customer orientation; Cooperation with others; Communication. These skills enable people to understand the needs of others and to cooperate with them. Communication skills are linked to all clusters and they are included in this one because of their important role in relationship building and communication with others.
Cluster three: Impact and influence skills:
Impact/Influence; Organisational awareness; Leadership; Development of others. Skills in this cluster reflect an individual's influence on others. Managerial competencies are a special subset of this cluster.
Cluster four: Achievement skills:
Achievement orientation, efficiency; Concern for order, quality, accuracy; Initiative, proactive approach; Problem solving; Planning and organisation; Information exploring and managing; Autonomy. The essence of this cluster is a tendency towards action, directed more at task accomplishments than impact on other people.
Cluster five: Cognitive skills:
Analytical thinking; Conceptual thinking. These two skills reflect an individual's cognitive processes – how a person thinks, analyses, reasons, plans, thinks critically, identifies problems and situations and formulates explanations, hypotheses or concepts.
Although all skills, to some degree, can be transferred across jobs but it is these 'softer' skills, the transversal ones are seemingly valued as having a more important impact on success in life and certainly for working within and across innovation activities.
Distinguishing between hard and soft skills is important to recognize.
We all understand, sometimes frustratingly so, that Employers tend to distinguish the hard skills such as job-specific skills closely connected with knowledge as they are far more easily observed and/or measured and can be specifically trained. Having these 'hard skills' can be overly rewarded due to this ability to measure more easily and then reinforced, often to the determent of innovation that needs a healthy mix of all skills. Today thankfully there is a push that we do recognize and require more of a better mix of T-shaped occupational skills profiles.
Whereas soft skills such as non-job specific skills which are more closely connected with attitudes and necessary for innovation, that 'can do' aspect are far more intangible, and difficult to quantify and develop. Recognition and assessment of transversal skills in new hires is also more difficult also and getting to understand these softer skills and within this report they lay out a suggested roadmap to build this more into the educational system and should be supported by specific systems, methods and tools.
Soft skills are critical to innovation
We do need to manage and know what different skills do impact innovation activity; I think this report helps in this. It certainly provides a clearer structure for my work in supporting organizations ability to build up their innovation capabilities and competencies.

CHICAGO (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, the second time this season that the Cincinnati Reds have lost their star outfielder to injury.
Griffey suffered a strained hamstring while running to first base on June 7 and hasn't fully recovered. He aggravated the injury while legging out a double Sunday and didn't play in the Reds' 6-4 loss Monday night in Chicago.
Griffey has been on the disabled list three times in the past two seasons. He was hampered most of last season by a torn left hamstring, which limited him to 111 games.

The best effort of the season showed the Evergreen Plainsmen are making progress. But 459 yards off offense and four touchdowns wasn't enough to overcome the play of Eisenhower junior quarterback Kolney Cassel.
Cassel threw for 389 yards and five touchdowns and the Cadets from Yakima improved to 3-1 with the 55-31 win at McKenzie Stadium on Friday.
Eisenhower never trailed, led 20-3 at halftime and kept a safe cushion throughout a high-scoring second half.
For Evergreen, Friday's highlights included 134 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries from Justin Straup. Senior Artum Conkin, in his first game of the season, made an impact with three catches for 128 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown.
Plainsmen quarterback Anthony Thomas completed 5 of 10 passes for 183 yards.
Evergreen made a terrific goal-line stand midway through the second quarter, stuffing Eisenhower on downs inside the 1-yard line.
A key series came late in the first half when Cassel completed consecutive passes to take the Cadets from a second-and-29 to a touchdown. Taran Hernandez made a leaping catch for a 26-yard gain, then Jones got behind the defense for an easy 40-yard scoring catch.
When Eisenhower marched 51 yards in six plays to open the second half, it appeared the Cadets would run away. But the Plainsmen offense avoided turnovers and started making big plays. It wasn't enough to earn them their first win, but it was an encouraging performance for a young team.
Cassel threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter, engineering drives of 81 yards and 60 yards to stake the visitors to a quick 12-0 lead.

Much fuss has been made about Rick Perry's careless remark about Ben Bernanke. While most of the media has honed in on the obvious ridiculousness of basically calling for the lynching of a public official for doing his job, I think it's more telling from a policy perspective to try to understand why Rick Perry would be so against monetary easing.
Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias weigh in on this very topic. Klein bemoans an "a much broader, and unfortunate, shift among Republicans on monetary policy." While Yglesias somewhat disagrees by pointing out that "Perry's concern is that monetary easing would work well, and he was putting Bernanke on notice to avoid it because he wants to win the election."
The thing is that they are both right.
I think one of the most startling discoveries I've made in the last few years is that the GOP is dominated by Austrian School disciples. I wasn't even aware of this non-mainstream school of economics until I had a chance encounter with a believer at work, who had manage to convert one of my friends. One of the major theories of the Austrian School is the Austrian Business Cycle Theory, in which they basically blame the Fed for every recession ever:
Proponents believe that a sustained period of low interest rates and excessive credit creation results in a volatile and unstable imbalance between saving and investment.[2] According to the theory, the business cycle unfolds in the following way: Low interest rates tend to stimulate borrowing from the banking system. This expansion of credit causes an expansion of the supply of money, through the money creation process in a fractional reserve banking system. It is asserted that this leads to an unsustainable credit-sourced boom during which the artificially stimulated borrowing seeks out diminishing investment opportunities. Though disputed, proponents hold that a credit-sourced boom results in widespread malinvestments. In the theory, a correction or "credit crunch" – commonly called a "recession" or "bust" – occurs when exponential credit creation cannot be sustained. Then the money supply suddenly and sharply contracts when markets finally "clear", causing resources to be reallocated back towards more efficient uses.
So it's not as if the GOP doesn't think that monetary easing wouldn't work in the short term. I think they mostly agree that it would. It's that they believe that in the long-term we will suffer for it.
So the real problem here isn't a lack of understanding or a disingenuous ruse to win an election. It's much worse than that. The entire GOP has been captivated by a non-mainstream school of economics, which proposes long refuted theories, and they are fighting for something they think is right.
The problem is that they are really, really wrong.Read More

some people on this forum would advocate silencing people like nugent, they want to stifle dissent, damn that pesky constitution and all that freedom of speech stuff
This is a discussion on Ted Nugent's message to Obama within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; How about this one now: Secret Service looking into Ted Nugent violent anti-Obama message - ABC News...
EDC - Glock 21C, M&P Shield .40 AND

some people on this forum would advocate silencing people like nugent, they want to stifle dissent, damn that pesky constitution and all that freedom of speech stuff
What am I missing?? I didn't hear anything that isn't repeated by many other people.
Was it the criminal part? The truth hurts sometimes.
Understood the message... But, didn't like the wording too much. -My wife even asked if he said he was going to 'chop Obama's head off'.
"Gun control should mean hitting your target every time."
Please try to remember- I have a very dry sense of humor. It usually sounds mean, but isn't meant to be.
Maybe listening to Ted Nugent will keep the SS out of trouble. TN could be talking about a full committment to defeating Obama, Hillary, and the current regime, politically. Accessbob puts it like this in a parallel thread.
Seriously, talk about "the blood of patriots" and get a call from the SS?
"Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary told Yahoo News: 'We are aware of the incident and we are conducting appropriate follow-up.'"
Let's see what Mitt Romney is made of.
-Blackstones Commentaries 145146, n. 42 (1803) in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)Americans understood the right of self-preservation as permitting a citizen to repel force by force
when the intervention of society... may be too late to prevent an injury.
Watch what you wish for there Ted.
When someone speaks so foolishly he loses credibility on anything else that comes out of his mouth.
Romney has already distanced himself from the "Motor City Madman".
"Confidence is food for the wise man but liquor for the fool"
Ted will not hold his toung ; )
A Native Floridian = RARE
Can't help but to like him ; )
A Native Floridian = RARE
I like him better as a singer..he rocks...what idiot gave him a microphone at the NRA convention...really, being a decient rocker and likeing everything old boy country/sporty doesnt make you clever, or smart...as he has now proven...Good luck Mr. Nugent
hell of a guitar player...stick to singing Ted....please
i agreed with every thing ted nugent said GOD BLESS AMERICA AND LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
While I wouldn't have used his exact words, I agree totally with his sentiment. This President is abusing the constitution and I'm sick of it. It's not just the 2nd amendment, which obviously is important to us. There are many other examples of him ignoring the constitution and I support Nuge.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.
Andrew Jackson
Uncle Ted sometimes wants to shock people and I doubt he was making a threat to the president.
We should all know that a threat against the president is serious and would be investigated.
Also, I understand there is an embarrassing issue with Secret Service. I would not hold that against them. It kind of an issue many young men and women in their sexual prime. It is imprudent of them and, personally, on the road and especially overseas, I would be very careful about tasting the local delicacies. Nobody wants the the gift that keeps on giving.
Anyway, hopefully, Uncle Ted will consider his word choices and avoid being misunderstood.

The Illinois River slices a 273-mile long path through the state—its waters lapping along the shores of many cities, including LaSalle, Peru, Peoria and Ottawa to name just a few. It's in Ottawa where the Illinois River meets Buffalo Rock. Buffalo Rock sits like a sandstone island above the surrounding land and the Illinois River, and offers sweeping views of this famed waterway.

You'll also encounter scenic overlooks 100 feet above the Illinois River.

Starved Rock State Park West Hike offers a decidedly different set of attractions than its eastern counterpart. On this hike you'll encounter a series of overlooks from wooded bluffs and rocky cliffs high above the Illinois River. This 2.9-mile hike varies in difficulty due to the large amount of stairs that need climbing. The dominant feature of Starved Rock can be found on this hike, via a narrow bluff that runs 4-miles along the south branch of the Illinois River. The park's namesake towers 125 feet above the river, offering commanding views of the nearby islands and river. Some notable excursions include, French Canyon, Wildcat Canyon and Pontiac Canyon with sweeping views of the Illinois River.

Eastern tiger swallowtail
This is the 4th instar of the eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus). I photographed it one recent evening in the woods after a late afternoon rain. It was climbing up the wet trunk of a young beech (I turned the picture sideways for your viewing pleasure).
According to Wagner (Caterpillars of Eastern North America, Princeton Field Guides, 2005), the graded lightening of the sides of this caterpillar's body from the top to the bottom is an example of countershading. This makes the parts that would receive less light appear about as light as the top receiving more light, thus rendering the caterpillar more uniform in color and, consequently, more difficult to be detected by visual predators, such as birds.
And, of course, this is what the adults look like.

Most of the songs are original, but New York-based English singer-songwiriter Edward Rogers admittedly owes a big debt on his new album Kaye to its name-shortened namesake Kevin Ayers.
"I'd written a lot of songs, but couldn't figure out what we were doing with them when I went into the studio with the band," says Rogers. "Then I found out that Kevin Ayers died." he continues. "I was a major fan."
The influential founding member of England's 1960s psychedelic band Soft Machine, Ayers died a year ago last February, at home in his sleep.
"There was a message on his bed that he'd written, 'You don't shine if you don't burn.' I took it and immediately wrote the song 'Kaye' and when we played it, it made every song fall into place. I could relate to every song through Kevin Ayer's eyes. Honestly, it was magical."
The project, produced by Don Piper and recorded live in the studio in three days at Brooklyn Recording, was released on Zip Records and features stellar players including guitarist James Mastro (Ian Hunter, Bongos), bassist Sal Maida (Roxy Music, Sparks, Cracker), drummer Dennis Diken (The Smithereens), keyboardist Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs), guitarist/vocalist Pete Kennedy (The Kennedys, Nanci Griffith) and backup singers Tish & Snooky (Sic F*cks).
Rogers wrote all the songs on Kaye except for his cover of Ayers' 1974 single "After the Show."
"The songs seem to have relationships to his life and meaning to it, and came together as a concept--which was never originally intended," he notes. "It took on a whole vibe: I was doing a 'Nuggets' show recently at City Winery with Patti Smith's players, and [bassist] Tony Shanahan told [guitarist and Nuggets album producer] Lenny Kaye that the album was dedicated to him! I told Lenny, 'Don't open it until you get home!' Hopefully he wasn't miffed, because it has nothing to do with him whatsoever!"
Rogers will now celebrate the release of Kaye Sunday night (Aug. 17) at Joe's Pub, where he'll be accompanied by most of the musicians on the album. The gig follows his opening slot on Zombies' lead singer Colin Blunstone's recent U.S. solo tour—Rogers having helped compile the 1995 CD anthology Some Years: It's the Time of Colin Blunstone.
"It was such a pleasure to do," says Rogers. "Beyond a friend, Colin is just an amazing man. He was out there for every soundcheck just making sure I sounded okay, and was always at the side of the stage to greet us and wish us well. So it was absolutely a privilege to do his dates—he gave me confidence and tips to be more comfortable on stage."
Following Joe's Pub Rogers has dates slated with English singer-songwriter John Ford.
Meanwhile, Rogers, who has previously released four solo albums and two with Brit-folk inspired trio Bedsit Poets (the name was given to them by Blunstone), is hoping to resume his radio gig, having co-hosted the Brit-centric Atlantic Tunnel on the now defunct East Village Radio. He reports interest from two stations in reviving the show.

I just upgraded to 13.04 from 12.04. I was wondering how to use both of my monitors side by side in 13.04. They work together in mirror but do not work side by side. I have looked through the "tweak" app and "compiz" and do not see the correct setting, am i missing something. Additionally when I deselect the mirror button in the display app I lose the launcher and the title bars on my window and the ability to change windows. Pretty scary stuff since 12.04 did not have this problem. Please help..... I am online watching this post like a hawk so if you have any questions or need additional information please let me know.
I got it to work
Here was my fix. (sorry i do not have images, I do not know how yet) 1. Go to software updater and click on "settings" then select the "additional drivers" tab. Make sure the correct driver in selected...On my computer it is "X.org X server..." driver.
Additionally when I was using 12.04 I followed step 1 above but for step 2 would have to install the "ATI binary X.Org driver" found by typing "ATI" into the softwear center and then step 3. would to search applications by typing "amd" and tweaking the amd catalyst settings.
I hope that this helps, it worked for me.
Try running arandr. It's got settings for multiple monitors, mirroring or not, etc. It's in the repos.

What do the ARCs do?
By plocher on Jul 26, 2005
What is it that we expect the ARCs to do?
The ARCs attempt to maximize the effective output of all developers. Some of the ways it does this are
- by eliminating/minimizing inter-project friction
- by ensuring customers can accept present and future releases, and
- by performing systems analysis
Goals of the ARC process's interactions with the products being developed:
- Consistently fulfill our customers' expectations of quality, across product lines and over generations of products.
- Establish the basis for multiple independent engineering projects to develop in parallel
- Provide architectural training and mentoring for developers
The ARCs do this by reviewing the proposed changes to components. These changes need to be proactively understood and committed to by the community before they are integrated into the codebase. The scope and level of such reviews obviously will vary in relationship to the impact of the change, with simple bugfixes getting the least attention and complex feature additions or changes getting the most.

A Witness Against Fear: Remembering Jordan Davis and Renisha McBride
Over the past months, I have been haunted by thoughts of Jordan Davis and Renisha McBride.
Their names come to me, disturbing sleep and dinner. Their faces stop me cold in the middle of my thoughts.
Killed in November 2012, Jordan Davis called metro Atlanta and Jacksonville (Florida) home, and since I have deep, personal history with both these places, I wonder if that is why. I wonder if I ever saw Jordan; I wonder if we ever crossed paths. We probably listened to some of the same music.
Renisha McBride was killed last month in the suburbs of Detroit, following a car accident.
Jordan and Renisha were both shot by men who said they were afraid.
I would like to believe that these were isolated incidents, that they have nothing to do with each other or the death of Trayvon Martin, but I can't believe that. No matter the differences in their stories and circumstances – no matter whether they were model teenagers (if there is such a thing) at the time of their death, or as rebellious and defiant as most of us in our teenage years – I can't believe that these events are isolated.
I know that the fear responsible for their deaths is not isolated. That fear is pervasive. It is bigger than Stand Your Ground and Mass Incarceration, but it is the lifeblood of both systems.
This is a fear that I was warned about early in life. This knowledge was important for my survival, as for millions of children. Some people might find it strange that a child could grasp this concept: when someone more powerful than you in our society is afraid, that fear reduces the value of your life. This culture does not seem to understand that the value of one's life is given by God.
We can change that fear.
This August, at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, I traveled to our nation's capital with five young African-American social change-makers. Together we participated in the Living Legacies tour organized by the Samuel Dewitt Proctor Conference. One of those outstanding young adults was Nicole Newman, a community organizer in D.C.
Nicole offers this poem for the memory of Renisha McBride. Among other things, it is a call to resilience and a witness against fear.
