Need help with Windows 7
Hi, I found this site while trying to install my Nomad Jukebox Xtra into Windows 7. I read the threads, I tried what was suggested and still no luck. I have a 30GB AND a 40GB and now they are basically useless. The Creative site has them listed as "End Service Life", no more updates. I plan on sending them an email about this!! Seriously? Just because it is a LED screen without all the video and about the size of an original Walkman? Maybe it isn't the most up to date, fancy player but I loved my first one enough to buy a second just for work. Yeah, I get to listen to my mp3 player at work. I refuse to buy an Ipod, but if I can't get these to work, they're going on eBay and I will buy another mp3 player. And it won't be from Creative. They've lost my loyalty with this. I've recommended them for years, never again.
I just got a new computer with Win 7 on it so I'm not familiar with how it all works, plus I don't understand most of the tech stuff anyway. I've already gotten rid of my XP computer so I can't just use that. I've read the threads and some of the suggestions, you might as well have been speaking a foreign language. Could you help, and explain it like you would to a child? Sorry about the rant, but I'm almost in tears. I've gotten new music that I'd love to put on my mp3 player, but I can't. UGH...sniff, sniff.

Ok. I sent Creative a rather insensed email last night. After sitting here for 5 hours trying to get my new computer to recognize the player, I was at my wits end. I know it isn't the newest player with all the bells and whistles, it doesn't have video and it is big like a walkman, but it gets the job done and I love my players. How hard is it to update the drivers?? I got a response from customer service. Evidently, I need to update my mp3 player's firmware on an XP system and that will cause my new Win7 computer's media player to recognize my mp3 player as a MTP device. Sure, whatever that means (I'm tech impaired pretty much). Now, if I had an XP system to update the firmware wouldn't/couldn't I just run the player on that???? But luckily, my dad still has a computer with XP and I can update the firmware on that. On both my players. I was just going to load my drivers on his computer and run the organizer on that but it is more of a pain in the butt.
My new question, if my Windows Media Player recognizes my Zen as a MTP device, can I still add tracks to my player?? My real issue is I want to be able to add new music to the players. Or do I have to beg my dad for his XP computer when he upgrades? Kinda silly to have an old computer just to run an mp3 player, but hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
Ok, So I went to my dad's house to update the firmware on both my mp3 players. His computer loaded the Creative Organizer just fine, and it recognized my player. However, the firmware did not update my mp3 players. Any ideas what I did wrong? I downloaded all the firmware but I kept getting a message that my player wasn't connected (it was) so it wouldn't update. I got frustrated and quit. So, I guess I should clear the players of music and sell them on eBay? Anyone?
Went back to dad's house today armed with detailed instructions and I got one of my players updated. I didn't update the other because when you update the firmware, it clears the player. There is music on the one player that can be found no where else in my collection (I got a ton of stuff from a music messageboard that I'm on, mostly early band demos). The player that had very little on it is now updated and working as a MTP device along with win7. Yay!
Updated Firmware and Windows 7
I need to do the same thing wih my 40 GB Zen Xtra. What version of the firmware did you use?
This might sound strange but my Zen Nomad Jukebox worked when I had or was using Vista Ultimate with SP2 on it, even the Zen Touch worked as well plus my Zen Vision M's as well, but like I said this is with SP2 on Vista Ultimate and had no hassles what so ever.
As soon as I connected the USB plug it looked for the drivers reqd. and installed them.
Once I updated to Win 7 Ultimate (because Vista was driving me insane) it all stopped. Fingers crossed that SP2 for 7 will fix this, well I hope.
It doesn't look like it's charging though... further investigation needed. Stay tuned.
Nope, not charging. It's listing "battery" as the power source when I look at the device properties in 7. The port has power, it charges my Sansa Clip+ just fine. That's a pity.

But like I said earlier when I was running or using Vista all my Zens worked.
Noteworthy: I distinctly remember that just a few days before the 19th I installed several OS updates that all mentioned "legacy" or "backwards compatibility" in their release notes.
Oh, and the Touch still not charging on the laptop, but since I have been able to locate my AC wall charger that's no longer a problem.

Is it possible to change city size in SimCity? I heard many people complaining about being 2km x 2km, but don't know if somebody has done a trick or if Maxis is going to change it?
No, it is not possible to change the city size.
You cannot increase the city size and play on EA servers today.
Creative Director Ocean Quigley says SimCity's team "could certainly make the city sizes larger" as a reaction to more powerful hardware setups. ... "We'll eventually get around to expanding the city size, but I can't make any promises as to when."
Also, it's possible to make a mod to enable debug mode. This allows one to build outside the city boundary.
In my opinion, the current size of the map (16x16 HD buildings with streets between them) just needs to be doubled in both directions (32x32 HD buildings with streets between them).
Looks like this guy is able to change the size of the map.

Nobody Cares About Titles - Or Do They?
by Alexandra Levit - Mar, 2012
Corporate hierarchies are out. Organizations are flatter than ever. Entrepreneurialism is the new best practice. The newest college grads are railing against the establishment, saying they don't want to "pay their dues" in order to climb the corporate ladder rung by rung, and that they want to do meaningful work right away. And the business world is listening to them. It seems as if the entry-level grunt is a thing of the past...

John Travolta Speaks Out About Idina Menzel 'Adele Dazeem' Name Flub At The Oscars
Of course you remember. It was one of the highlights of the night and even spawned this amazing "John Travolta Name Generator". (I'm Sara Ramso, in case you were curious).
Well, Mr. Travolta has finally spoken out about the name flub, and it's actually pretty adorable.
E! News, the actor said:
"I've been beating myself up all day. Then I thought…What would Idina Menzel say? She'd say, 'Let it go, let it go!' Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!"
God I really hope he sang that in his head as he wrote up this statement. And you know, John has a point. Yes it was hysterical, and yes it will probably live on forever, but ultimately, "the past is in the past." Bam!
So now do yourself a favor and listen to Idina sing "Let It Go" on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night. And just in case you need to see John's "Adele Dazeem" flub one more time, enjoy!

Triple Tickle Trouble
Gift for Thunderbolt and Ticklishways
It was a bright, sunny, Saturday afternoon. But still, not everyone can be satisfied by weather alone. Take Lazer for example, he was as bored as he had ever been as he simply layed on the sofa and stared at the ceiling. "Oh my god... I'm so BORED!" Lazer moaned to himself as he continued to stare at the ceiling. "If something doesn't happen soon, I'm gonna slip into a bloody coma!" Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Lazer immediatley jumped up and dashed to the door, to find Hypno and Bolt standing in the doorway. "Hey pal," Hypno said to Lazer. "Mind if we stay for a while?" Bolt asked. "By all means, PLEASE! I'm so bored!" Lazer said, happy that at least he could spend the afternoon with some friends. "Yeah, us too!" Hypno and Bolt moaned at the same time as they entered and layed on the other couches. "What are we gonna do?" Hypno asked, laying upside down hanging off the sofa. "Wish I knew," Lazer moaned back. "Well, think of an idea!" Bolt said, slightly frustrated. "It's not like an oppertunity is just gonna come through the window!" As Bolt said that, a flock of birds came flying by, and some of their feathers brushed off and came through the window. The three feathers layed on the coffee table, as the trio looked at them. Suddenly, they all looked at each other evily. "I have an idea!" they all said at the same time with an evil smirk, as they each grabbed a feather and dashed out the door.
Meanwhile, Sceprea, Scora and Blaze were just sitting on Scora's sofa, drinking tea and talking about something Bolt, Hypno and Lazer were VERY keen on listening on. "Sooo Blaze..." Scora said, "Who do you think is cuter - Bolt or Lazer?" "Pfft, it's clearly me," Lazer whispered from the window they were watching from. Bolt just moved his finger near Lazer, and shot him with a bit of electricity. "OW! What was that for?!" Lazer yelped at Bolt. "For lying," Bolt smirked. "Ummm..." Blaze thought, "That's tough... I'm gonna have to say... Both are very cute!" "Nooo!" Sceprea yelled "One has to be cuter! Who?!" "I DUNNO! AAAAH!" Blaze yelled, then they all started laughing. "Wanna start?" Hypno asked the other two watchers. "Huh? I was waiting for you!" Lazer replied. "I thought you'd never ask," Bolt said with a smile. "Just remember... Sceprea's mine," Hypno said rather sternley. "And I get Blaze!" Lazer added. "I got a score to settle," "Sweet, I get the anthro bird then!" Bolt exclaimed. "Let's do this!" The trio yelled at the same time.
Hypno then used his powers to seal the three girls in ropes, as they were suspended in mid-air, helplessly tied. Then, the door swung open as Lazer, Bolt and Hypno walked causally into the girl's lounge room. "Good evening ladies... and Sceprea," Hypno smirked as he watched the girls desperatley try to struggle from their bonds. "You better let us go now!" Scora yelled as the three torturers took their positions, Bolt near Scora's feet, Lazer near Blaze's cheast, and Hypno near Sceprea's neck. "I'm afraid you're in NO position to warn us about anything!" Lazer laughed as he showed his feather. Blaze's eyes widened along with the other captives as their torturers showed their feathers. "Oh no, they're gonna tickle us!" Sceprea yelled in panic. "They learn rather quickly eh?" Bolt smirked as he drew his feather slowley near Scora's feet. "N-now now B-Bolt! Let's not do what I think you're gonna doHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!NOOOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" Scora laughed as Bolt started tickling her feet.
Then, almost simontaniously, Lazer started tickling Blaze's belly, and Hypno started tickling Sceprea's armpits. "AHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA!PLEAHEEHEEHEESELAZERHAHAHAHA!STOPNOWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Blaze pleaded with Lazer as he kept stroking the feather on her sensitive tummy. "I don't think so!" Lazer said. "At least... not for anouther hour anyway!" "HYPNOHOHOHOHAHAHAHA!IMWARNINGYOUHOOHOOHAHAHAHAHA!LETMEOUTNOWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Sceprea warned Hypno between laughter. Hypno just stuck out his tounge and shook his head as he continued to tickle Scprea's armpits. "Hey, who's up for a contest?" Lazer called out to the other two torturers,. "What kind?" Bolt asked, not taking a second to stop tickling Scora's feet. "Who can... make their captive laugh the hardest, for the longest?" Lazer smiled, he as well not stopping the tickling. "Count me in!" Hypno yelled. "WAY ahead of you!" Bolt smiled. "OK!" Lazer said. "3...2...1...GO!"
And, at once, all three torturers started moving their feathers along the spot they were doing before, VERY fast. All the victems squealed like schoolgirls as the feathers looked like blurs on their feet, armpits and tummies. "NOOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHA!PLEASEHAHAHAHAHAIMBEGGINGYOU!PLEASESTOPAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Scora pleaded at Bolt. Bolt stopped for about two seconds and stroked his chin, looking like he was thinking. "Hmmm... NAH!" Bolt teased as he then turned his attention to Scora's toes. "AHAHAHAHAHAA!NOPLEASEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!NOTMYTOOOESAHAHAHAHAHA!PLEHEEHEEHEESEHAVEMERCY!AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Scora squeled as Bolt stroked her toes very quickly with the feather. "Mer...cy? What that?" Bolt teased again as he then moved the feather inbetween her big toe and index toe, which made tears come down Scora's face.
Meanwhile, Blaze was in no better position then Scora as Lazer kept tickling her bellybutton, which drove her into hysterical laughter. "NOOHAHAHAHAHAHA!PLEASENOTTHEREAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!IMBEGGINGYOU!AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!" Blaze laughed as Lazer looked at her with a wide grin. "Awww, is poor ickle Bwaze's tummy-wummy ticklwish?" Lazer cooed as he started to use both the feather on Blaze's bellybutton and the fingers on his spare hand on Blaze's stomach. "PLEASENOTAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHANOTTHERE!AHAHAHAHAHAICANTSTANDITAHAHAHAHA!" Blaze cried out in laughter as Lazer leaned near Blaze's head. "Awww, don't feel so down," Lazer teased, noticing that Blaze was now crying tears of laughter. Lazer then leaned to Blaze's face and kissed her on the forehead. Now Blaze was laughing, crying, and blushing at the same time.
Hypno, seening how effectve using fingers as well as the feather worked with Lazer, started using his spare fingers to tickle Sceprea's other armpit, which caused tears to stream down her face as well. "HYPNOHOHOHO!THISISYOURLASTCHANCEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!LETMEOUTNOWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Sceprea yelled at Hypno, who looked at her thighs. "You know, from this angle... you look kinda fat!" Hypno cackled as he kept tickling. Sceprea's left eyelid twitched wildely, as she always did when someone made fun of her weight. Hypno then took the hand he used to tickle Sceprea's spare armpit and sniffed it, retching fakely at the smell. "And you stink too! When did you last have a shower?" Hypno laughed, 'adding salt to the wound,' so to speak.
The trio of tickling torturers were having the greatest time EVER, and all would have gone smoothly if Avian hadn't been woken up by the laughter. From the stairway, he watched his mummy and her friends being tickled, and from past experience, he knew Hypno was the one that was holding them in the ropes. "Naughty Hypno's tickling nice lady again!" Avian said to himself. He then went into his room, and came back with a building block, and threw it at Hypno's head with such incredible force and accuracy, that it knocked Hypno out easily. Lazer looked at Hypno, concerned and completley oblivious that the ropes holding Blaze were now gone. "Hypno are you oka-OOOOFFF!" Lazer was interupted by Blaze punching him square in the face, knocking him out next to Hypno. Bolt noticed this, but before he could dash away, Scora used her spare foot to kick Bolt's face, sending him unconcious. Avian came down the stairs to his smiling mum. "Good boy Avian! You get chocolate ice cream after dinner tonight!" Scora congratulated her smiling and blushing son. "So what do we do with them?" Blaze asked the other girls.
Then, the girls looked at the feathers and rope on the ground, then at the torturers, then at each other wickidly. "I have an idea!" they all said as they each grabbed a feather and a piece of rope.
The end.

Late 19th century:
Publisher's Cloth Bindings
As publishers took control over the entire book making process, they began to see the cover as integral to the whole. Cover designs could reflect the content, set the tone for the reader, or attract the consumer. Cloth bindings were not readily accepted at first, but by the end of the century, they were the norm.

Casting has begun for The Conjuring a paranormal film to set to be released in 2013. It is to be directed by James Wan whose career includes; Saw, Dead Silence and a personal favorite of mine Insidious. The film has ties to Connecticut because it is going to revolve around the cases of our state's famous paranormal investigating duo, Lorraine and the late Ed Warren. The plot of The Conjuring will be inspired by the story of the Perron family who were witnesses to many accounts of paranormal activity in their home. The home is located right over the Connecticut border in Harrisville Rhode Island. Andrea Perron spent a decade dealing with the spirits in her family home and wrote a book called "House of Darkness, House of Light" about it. The Warrens called the Perron home "one of the most compelling cases" in all their years of investigating the paranormal. The Warrens claim to have investigated over ten thousand hauntings in their life times and Lorraine is still doing cases and lectures to this very day. They founded the New England Society for Psychic Research and The Occult Museum, which are both located here in Connecticut. Shooting for The Conjuring will begin in six weeks with a budget of thirteen million dollars.

On 6.08.1997, so 1 day after launch of Soyuz-TM26 the freighter Progress-M35, meanwhile fully loaded with trash , will leave the aft (Kvant +X axis) docking port for a 10 days lasting autonomous flight. On 7.08 Soyuz-TM26 has to dock at that port, but after the departure of Soyuz-TM25 with the relieved crew on 14.08.97, Soyuz-TM26 with on board Solovyov, Vinogradov and Foale have to redock at the forward (P.Kh.O. = -X axis) port as soon as possible. This is scheduled for 15.08.97. They can fly around, but also wait until the Mir complex has made a turn of 180 degrees around the Z-axis.
After redocking the Russians have to accept another challenge for already on 16.08.97 Progress-M35 has to redock at the aft (+ X axis) port. This time again in the automatic mode with the reliable system Kurs. There will be no time to recover from the sustained strain for the crew will have to deal with the preparations for the IVA on 20.08.97. If this IVA will be awarded by success TsUP can give green light for an EVA (so a real external one) on 3.09.97 for an inspection of the outer surface of Spektr.

Principles learned in the classroom are put to work in real life situations in which students and professors alike are engaged in helping people and organizations become more effective. This philosophy is so deeply embedded in the Department that in 2007 Professor Vince Bolduc was awarded the "Vermont Service-Learning Teacher of the Year."
Below is a partial list of just some of the "service learning" projects that the Department has conducted in the past several years. You will see that some projects involve applying the statistically quantitative survey methods common in sociology but many also use the qualitative methods more commonly used by the anthropologists.
In 2005, Professor Kusserow accompanied Saint Michael's students and "Lost Boy" of Sudan Atem Deng to Kampala Uganda to meet his parents for the first time since the war in South Sudan started. In Kampala they met and interviewed Atem's extended family as well as many other Sudanese refugee's about their life histories. They then flew to a Sudanese refugee camp in Arua Uganda and conducted interviews on girls access to education in Imveppi Camp.
The results of these interviews were used by UNHCR in Kampala and served as the basis for the founding of the New Sudan Education Initiative, a non-profit founded by Adrie Kusserow's husband Robert Lair and some local Sudanese Lost Boys.
In May of 2008, Professor Kusserow traveled with former Saint Michael's College students to South Sudan for the opening of the New Sudan Education Initiative's first health sciences secondary school for girls.
Professor Kusserow has also done a wide variety of other service learning projects with students, including starting an African radio station program meant for African refugees living in Vermont, tutoring new Americans at JFK elementary school, student led film screenings with discussion by panels of local refugees, student babysitting for Somali Bantu refugee mothers, rock concert fundraisers for child prostitutes in Nepal, and student presentations in local public schools about modern day slavery and child trafficking in Southeast Asia.
Professor Bolduc's service learning projects are more oriented to local issues and often use survey research. For example, in 2006, one class studied the "quality of life" of Vermonters. The Research Methods class worked on a questionnaire and then conducted phone interviews with over 400 Vermonters. This was sponsored by the Vermont Business Roundtable, with the final report available online.
In 2007, a Peace and Justice course studied homelessness by working for the state's largest homeless shelter in conducting an evaluation of how people who lived in the shelters felt about the security, comfort, and programs offered by the various shelters. Using questionnaires and interviews, the student's work is still being used to improve and modify the various shelters.
In 2008, the Research Methods class did a state wide survey or how people feel about sustainability for the non-profit organization "Vermonters for a Sustainable Population," a non-profit organization.

"That's the family that cannot control their daughter."
"That's the family that lets their children stay home unsupervised."
"That's the family whose child just passed away."
"That's the family that is always late to parties."
We have all heard statements like these. Maybe we have even uttered them on occasion. Labeling a family by a behavior. Or by something that happened to them. With all the talk (inspired by Ashely Judd) about "Changing the Conversation" this week, I realized that our conversations and preconceived notions run deeper than just physical traits. We are a culture that feels the need to keep up, compete, and outshine our neighbors. We judge. We take notice. We put labels on children, on ourselves, and on our families.
Labels are Everywhere
As a teacher of gifted students I see this all the time. We all think our children are amazing and talented. But the truth is that only a small percentage of them are TRULY gifted (whatever being TRULY "gifted" actually means). But that does not stop us from trying to make our child "that" child. The reality is though? My family is not defined by my child's success or intellect.
As a mom to a daughter, I know that I have always dreaded public temper tantrums or outbursts for fear of being thought of as the mom who could not handle her daughter. Or worse, the teacher who cannot get control of their child. Or even the mom who allows her child to play with a gadget during dinner out at a restaurant instead of insisting on family conversation. When, if I am being honest, prior to having my daughter, I was the judgmental know it all sitting across the restaurant eying the children that were lost in their handheld device game, while their parents sat idly by. I could not comprehend that. How quickly times change when you are in the throws of wanting to have a meal in piece and quiet. The reality though? My family is not defined by whether I let my child play a game through dinner or whether or not my daughter is well behaved at all times.
And then of course there are the families who live day to day with unimaginable suffering or hardships. The families that have lost a parent or a child. The families who fight to put food on their table each day. Families who battle medical conditions. Families who battle addiction. These struggles can change the way a family lives, acts, and survives. The reality though? These families are not defined by their struggles.
My Family's Labels
I thought about what labels might be applied to my family.
"The divorced family"
"The blended family"
"The family whose daughter is the loudest person on the soccer field"
"The family that does not get to synagogue enough"
"The family with the mom whohad cancer"
"The family with the mom who blogs"
Certainly there are worse labels. (I could probably come up with a few of them if I kept at it.) But regardless of the description, a label is just a label. By definition something that you can put on or peel off. Labels should not be affixed to people or families for the duration of their lives.
The Truth about Who We Are As Families
What defines us instead is how we cope. How we love. How we use our voices. Every family has good days and bad days, just like the rest of the world. Days where we know we could do better and days where we know we did our best. The fact is that we face life head on and deal with whatever is in our path, to the best of our abilities. Not every family deals with life or situations in the same way. Sometimes we hear horrifying reports of abuse and injustices forced on children by their parents, situations where it is hard not to judge. I get that. And we are human. But… I still believe that our differences make us different–not better or worse.
Ashley Judd wrote in her response to media criticism on her appearance:
"This insanity has to stop, because as focused on me as it appears to have been, it is about all girls and women. In fact, it's about boys and men, too, who are equally objectified and ridiculed, according to heteronormative definitions of masculinity that deny the full and dynamic range of their personhood. It affects each and every one of us, in multiple and nefarious ways: our self-image, how we show up in our relationships and at work, our sense of our worth, value, and potential as human beings. Join in—and help change- the Conversation."
…and we at Just.Be.Enough. could not agree more about the need to look past the obvious for ourselves and our families. So much so that we are going to host a special Be Enough Me Monday link-up on Monday, April 23rd called Change the Conversation.
We're inviting posts from voices everywhere to share your labels and who you are beyond that. The focus is whatever you need it to be– from our lives as moms, dads, parents, spouses, professionals, survivors, athletes and more. We invite you to join us, to celebrate our strengths, to celebrate our diversity, to celebrate our voices and change the conversation.

College Hockey:St. Cloud State Bounces Back
Gordon's Hat Trick Leads SCSU over MTU, 6-1
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Still fighting for the all-important home ice in the WCHA playoffs, St. Cloud State needed a victory in the worst way as they returned home from shocking two straight losses at Minnesota State last weekend.
Andrew Gordon and Dan Kronick answered the call, scoring two goals each in the first two periods, with Gordon picking up his first career hat-trick in the third, leading No. 19 St. Cloud State to a convincing 6-1 victory over visiting Michigan Tech.
Five minutes into the game, St. Cloud State (18-12-3, 13-11-1 WCHA) converted on their very first power play opportunity of the night, a welcome sight after the team went 0-for-15 on the man advantage last weekend. Dan Kronick took a pass from Brock Hooton, situated behind the end line, and one-timed it past Michigan Tech goalie Rob Nolan.
"We needed to get a good break and score first if we were going to be successful tonight," said St. Cloud State coach Bob Motzko. "After last week, we really needed that first break. Good to finally get something going on the power play."
Later in the period, Andrew Gordon scored a short-handed goal to put SCSU up 2-0. Gordon blasted a long shot from just over the blue line that was on net, eluding Nolan to his right on a shot that may have been misjudged by the freshman goaltender.
Just 2:39 later, Gordon added his second in spectacular fashion. Taking a feed from Justin Fletcher, Gordon proceeded to weave in and out of four Michigan Tech players as though they were practice cones while he approached the net through the slot, keeping the puck on a string as he moved to the crease and switched to his backhand to put it home.
"I just pump faked around the first guy and tried to get a shot," said Gordon of his highlight reel goal. "(MTU senior Chris) Conner slipped in front and it gave me six or seven feet to operate."
Conner would make amends in the second period when he drew Michigan Tech (7-21-5, 6-14-5) within two. In the midst of MTU's penalty-kill of the game, Conner slipped ahead of everyone else on the ice following a clearance and took a pass from senior John Scott for the breakaway. Conner calmly moved to the right on St. Cloud goalie Bobby Goepfert and threw the puck into the net to the right, top shelf.
Michigan Tech fought well in the second period to pull closer, but Goepfert made eight saves during the period to keep them from scoring further. Kronick's second goal, a mid-air tap-in of a pass from Konrad Reeder with just over a minute to play in the second period, made the score 4-1 and seemed to deflate any chance that MTU had to catch St. Cloud.
"It was good to get into the locker room and let them sit on that one," said Kronick. "Konrad and I have had some good chemistry lately, and he made just an unreal pass."
Hooton added a goal14 minutes into the third, and Gordon finished up his hat-trick three minutes later on the tap-in of an Aaron Brocklehurst shot that was squirted between Nolan's legs and sat just next to the goal line.
"We came out and played the game we wanted to play and did all the little things we had to do to be successful tonight," said Gordon. "When we play other teams' games, that's when we get down. That happened to us last weekend and we came into tonight with the mentality that we can't let that happen anymore."
A brawl between Michigan Tech's Jimmy Kerr and St. Cloud's David Carlisle between the two SCSU goals in the third earned both men game disqualifications, and neither will be available for the series finale on Saturday night.
Bobby Goepfert made 22 saves on 23 shots for St. Cloud State before giving way to senior Jason Montgomery following Hooton's goal. Montgomery made four saves, playing six minutes during the first game of his final regular-season home series. Rob Nolan made 23 saves in a losing effort.
Although the victory was a much needed win for St. Cloud State, the results from around the league left SCSU in the same position they were in to begin the night: sitting in sixth place, a point behind North Dakota and the final home-ice slot, two behind Colorado College, and two in front of Minnesota State.
"At this point, we really can't be too concerned about what's going on everywhere else," said Motzko. "We need to worry about ourselves first."
For Michigan Tech, the loss coupled with Minnesota State's victory assured them of finishing no higher than eighth, their current position in the WCHA. MTU maintains a two point lead over ninth place Minnesota-Duluth.
The teams play the second game of the weekend series Saturday night at the National Hockey Center.

Dynamic provisioning of directory instances with DPS - Part 2
By Sylvain Duloutre-Oracle on Sep 27, 2010
The goal here is still (see previous post ) to dynamically add/remove a directory server instance from the mesh with no or limited impact on the client applications and w/o altering the HW load-balancers that are commonly deployed in front of the directories. In the rest of this post, we assume that client applications access the directory services via an access layer provided by the Sun/Oracle Directory Proxy Server (DPS).
The second method consists in changing the configuration of each Directory Proxy Server. Each data source (directory server instance) is put in disabled mode so that DPS immediatly stops forwarding traffic to them. The property is-enabled can be changed to false. To reactivate a data source, set that property to true again.
e.g. dpconf set-ldap-data-source-prop homere.france.sun.com:20389 is-enabled:false

Pawn Stars' Corey Harrison showed off 192-pound weight loss, shedding half of his body weight after having lap-band surgery. According to ABC News, Harrison, also known as "Big Hoss," says that he was nervous about getting diabetes -- and it just took him one trip to his doctor to make the decision to have the surgery and help himself out. He, like many others, has had major success with the lap-band -- and he looks amazing.
Harrison explained:
"I literally drove straight from the doctor to the lap-band center and had the surgery almost immediately. Back then, the surgery was too expensive for my bank account, so I had to pay with four credit cards, but it was something I had to do – I was not going to get diabetes!"
The Pawn Stars cast member dropped 192 pounds total -- he lost the first 50 quite fast after surgery and the rest over the course of a year. Harrison says that he has learned a completely different way of eating and he has incorporated workouts into his schedule that really help him stay fit -- he boxes five days a week!
He added:
"I could never go back to weighing as much as I did. It made me realize what I ate, how I ate and what I did to myself."
Corey Harrison weighed 400 pounds at his heaviest. Since having the surgery in 2013, Big Hoss now weighs 210! It's unknown if he plans on losing any more weight, but he is really proud of himself so far -- and he should be! He's just about half the size he used to be; It's just taking a bit of time for him to get used to it all.
Harrison said:
"When I meet fans, they are always congratulating me on the weight loss. They actually say, 'You look just like that guy from 'Pawn Stars,' but you are a lot skinnier and better looking than him.'"

The public understanding of sexual violence, domestic violence and teen dating violence has shifted over time. For effective prevention messages, we need to understand the current views about this issues. This web conference will highlight the National Sexual Violence Resource Center's (NSVRC) work with the FrameWorks Institute to research how the general public in the United States thinks about sexual violence and its prevention. The first phase of this recently-released study is already providing some fascinating insights that have implications for our communication strategies. This web conference will explore highlights from the research that compares experts' knowledge of sexual violence with the general public's understanding.
Some specific areas covered include: What is sexual violence? What is the cause? Who perpetrates sexual violence and why? Who are the victims? Is sexual violence preventable? Participants will discuss implications for prevention, policy, and communications and will learn what additional information will be coming in future phases of this ground-breaking research.

3 quick questions . . .
with Fiona Silver
Fiona Silver is an up-and-coming New York-based singer-songwriter/guitarist who undoubtedly deserves more attention than what she might get. On the other hand, maybe that's what makes her who she is. The indie artist has already garnered a following and has her own unique signature sound. Silver has a new song and music video out that she is graciously premiering online here in "3 quick questions".
Here are the 3 quick questions asked of Silver:
1. You have your new video "Sandcastle" that we are premiering here. Since some of my readers may not be as familiar with your music, update us. Can you remember your first professional gig and if so what was it like to experience that for the first time?
Silver: I remember being so nervous my hands were shaking as I was playing. I was at a little jazz club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that no longer exists. It was dark, and everyone was seated at little coffee tables lit with candles. I was like a one-woman show performing with a keyboard, a guitar and my ukulele. Despite my nerves, I had the most incredible support from all the people who came out to see me play. I was in my element, and there was something beautiful about being so vulnerable in front of a crowd.
2. Since Halloween will soon be here you get one of the fun Fall questions. On your next album you have the opportunity to resurrect one dead rock star to work with--whom do you choose and why?
Silver: On one hand, that's a tricky question because there are so many incredible dead artists! But immediately, I know the answer: Jimi Hendrix. There's really no need to explain why. He's pretty much Rock N Roll Jesus.
3. What's next for you?
Silver: I'm gearing up to release another single and music video that's actually quite different from "Sandcastle", though the video was done by the same director, Leslie Van Stelten and makeup artist DNICOLE. It's more dancey and electronic with hints of disco, reggae and psychedelic flares, and certainly takes you on a journey... it's called "Medicine Man". While that's in the works, I'm also writing new material, playing shows and recording more.
So there you have it, boys and girls, 3 quick answers from Fiona Silver. Hopefully, you found these 3 quick questions entertaining and interesting.
My name is Phoenix and . . . that's the bottom line.

Congratulations to those football fans who scored a ticket to the Super Bowl. Snow and arctic cold are in the forecast for the New Jersey area so bundle up. For the other 99.8% of football fans who will be watching on television, either at home or at a Super Bowl party, here are few cocktails to serve while you are watching the game in a nice warm house with people you know, and hopefully like.
These drinks are inexpensive to make because they are made with wine. Don't worry, the drinks do contain alcohol, but they aren't too strong in case one of your guests decides to sit next to the bowl with a straw. Let's be honest, no one wants "the drunk" at their party who is spilling beer or drinks all over the other guests.
The ingredients are very easy to find. You can always find a liter of soda on sale around Super Bowl time and you can find an inexpensive bottle of wine any day of the week. The wine and schnapps used can be found at Total Wine and More - Silly Goose Shiraz ($5.99), Sei Amici Lambrusco Bianco ($6.99), and Mr. Stacks Schnapps ($6.99).
Enjoy the game! Salute!
Seahawk Spritzer
2 oz. of white Sparkling White Wine (preferably a sweet wine like Lambrusco)
2 oz. of 7-Up (Diet for the weight watchers in the group)
1 oz. of Sour Apple Schnapps
Lime wedge for garnish
Pour the wine, soda, and schnapps with some ice into a martini shaker. Shake and pour. Garnish with lime.
Silly Horse
2 oz. of Red Wine (an inexpensive Shiraz, Pinot Noir)
4 oz. of 7-Up (again, Diet for the weight watchers)
1 oz. of Sour Cherry Schnapps
Lime wedge for garnish
Pour the wine, soda, and schnapps with some ice into a martini shaker. Shake and pour. Garnish with lime.
Party Punch
If you don't want to spend the entrie game making individual drinks, increase the portions and combine all three ingredients into a punch bowl with ice and slices of lime.
Seahawk Spritzer: 1 bottle (750 ml) of wine, ¾ Liter of 7-Up, ½ bottle of Schnapps
Silly Horse: 1 bottle (750 ml) of wine, 1 ½ Liter of 7-Up, ½ bottle of Schnapps

Weigh-In Day Again. Pleased, but a bit Confused...
Friday, May 04, 2012
Another Friday has arrived! I missed last week because I was out of town, but my 2-week combined weight loss was 4.2 lbs!! Woohoo!! I don't want to speak too soon, but perhaps I have finally managed to break through the dreaded plateau. Honestly, I think the big difference was that my husband was away on business for the last 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong, he's a wonderful man and is very supportive of my weight loss journey, but he's definitely not interested in eating the same kinds of foods I eat. He eats almost exclusively processed foods and potatoes. I think the only "vegetable" he ever eats is corn and even that he doesn't have very often. Well, since he hasn't been here I've been shopping just for myself and I think at this point nearly everything in my fridge is fresh produce and the freezer is full of fish and more veggies. There are no snacks other than sugar-free Jello and strawberries (my favorite combo!!). The poor man is going to starve when he gets home tonight...
The other issue I wanted to mention today is a problem with discrepancies between my scale at home and the scale I weigh-in on at my Weight Watchers meetings. I have a very nice digital scale at home that was a wedding gift and at first it was very accurate. I would weigh myself before leaving the house so I would know what to expect for the meeting (I don't like surprises!) and for a while the numbers between the two scale were matching up exactly down to a tenth of a pound every week. Well, about a month ago I noticed my weight at my meeting was 0.4lbs higher than my weight at home. This continued the following week but didn't bother me much... but then 2 weeks ago the scales were different by a whole pound. And this week at WW the scale read 2.4 lbs higher than my at-home weight!! That's a huge difference!!! I just don't understand what's going on and its causing me a lot of stress because now I feel like I will never have any clue what to expect at my weigh-ins anymore and I don't really know what my "real" weight is. Its very confusing to me :(
I'm also confused about the changes in my body that go along with my weight loss... Or, more accurately, the total LACK of changes in my body. Now, my husband says he can see a difference and compliments me all the time, but lets be honest here: he'd be crazy NOT to say those things. Not that I think he isn't being genuine, but I think he may be exaggerating just a bit... But really, I've lost 18.8 lbs since starting Weight Watchers and I haven't even lost a single pant size yet..... Its hard to really feel like I've lost anything at all when I see no changes in my body with such a big weight loss. What's going on here??
SW: 203.0 (since starting Weight Watchers)
total lost: 18.8

Printing in the General Access Student Labs and Other Areas Using Pharos
(Email from Announcements Mailing List, sent Jan. 9, 2014)
Printing in the six general access student computer labs, the Library reference area, and other areas that utilize Pharos is a "free" student benefit, funded by the Student Technology Fee. This service is requested annually and has been approved each year by the Student Technology Fee Committee.
A student subcommittee of OSA is reviewing the current limits for students (10,000 pages per year) and employees (500 pages per year). We are encouraging smaller limits in order to reduce the campus carbon footprint. We are also working on ways to encourage the use of electronic tools to replace the need to print.
We understand there are times you may be working with a student in these areas and print something off for them. The recommendation we have made for the employee limit to begin the new fiscal year, July 1, 2014, is 50 pages per year. There are currently less than 40 employees over that limit or at risk of going over that limit. The print usage and limits were discussed with ACUG (Academic Computer Users Group) and OSA last semester.
In the past the limits were set as "soft" limits that allowed people to go over the limit. Tomorrow, January 9, 2014 we will be resetting employee print totals to 0. We will also be setting a hard limit of 250 pages for employees from January 9, 2014 to June 30, 2014 (half the current limit for the half year). The only option to go beyond that limit is if you or your department pay for additional pages. We will be working on a process for those payments and all money collected will go back into the Student Technology Fee fund. We will do a similar process for student accounts before the start of the spring semester.

An Addict's Recovery
Tuesday, May 07, 2013
Tonight, my husband walked in the door with these:
Two Cupcakes. He sheepishly asked if he should take them back out to the car.
I may have stolen a teaspoon of frosting. Is there wheat in frosting? BUT I am not going to eat one. I'm in detox.
Given the awful binges I had Sunday into yesterday, I think it's safe to say I'm a long way away from Stage 2 (Beginner Recovery) of Dr. Pam Peeke's Hunger Fix plan. I need to follow detox a little more carefully (
). I will need to get through 28 days binge free (and pull from my reward jar twice
!) before moving on - but I wanted to make sure I jotted down a few notes for Stage 2 before I have to return the book to the library.
Dr. Peeke says Beginner Recovery will last when you achieve 80% of your weight loss goal (8-9 lbs for me) and then add six months. The issue, as she puts it, is that because your pleasure receptors are finally recovering during the detox phase, taking another "hit" of your False Fix will seem even better than you remember. Stage 2 takes you through a few new strategies to add to the "Three M" (Mind, Mouth Muscle) Blueprint. Here are the tips that I want to commit to memory when I get to that point.
1. Mind
"Victory through Vigilance" - once again, your inner addict will try to tell you that food is the solution to stressful situations. Just remind yourself "It's a lie!"
"Meditate" - Dr. Peeke promotes Transcendental Meditation throughout the book, sharing that people who meditate release up to 65 percent more dopamine in the ventral striatum, which can lead to decreased impulsiveness. But she also offers Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as an alternative that could have the same benefits (which is great, because it's free and I can start right now):
- Sit comfortably in a chair (or on the floor or in bed) with your legs crossed.
- Close your eyes.
- Breathe in through your nose and "observe" your breath.
- If thoughts come to you, acknowledge them and let them go.
- Repeat this over and over, for 10-20 minutes every day.
I'm thinking this will also help when I'm particularly anxious about things as well.
"Give your working memory a workout" - Studies have found that the same dorsolateral area of the Prefrontal Cortex is also involved in our working memory - so a strong PFC will help us turn down short-term pleasure because we know we'll be better off in the long run. Check out www.lumosity.com or www.memorise.org/memory-gym
2. Mouth
"Create shopping, eating, and cooking rituals" - Lack of organization will feed into the chaotic, addictive False Fix lifestyle. One option could be making one of the dessert teas (
) I like so much at 2:00pm every day, so I'm not tempted to get an afternoon cup of coffee or to check out what someone has left behind in the breakroom.
3. Muscle
"High Intensity Interval Training" - glad to see Dr. Peeke is on board with amping up workouts at this point. HIIT is something I actually used to do quite a bit last year - bumping up my treadmill runs to 8.0 mph for 30 seconds before dropping it back down to 6.0-6.5. This was before I was trying to average a sub 9:00/mi pace, and the struggle of maintaining that average made me skip out on bumping up the intensity for short bursts for the last few months. I need to reincorporate that back into my training.
Alright. Perhaps a gluten free beer will keep my mind off of the cupcakes.

College Hockey:Princeton Downs Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Grant Goeckner-Zoeller scored two goals and the Princeton Tigers got a 34-save effort from goaltender B.J. Slapsky to ruin Notre Dame's home opener with a 5-3 win at the Joyce Center on Friday night.
Princeton got single goals from Patrick Neundorfer, Erik Pridham and Kyle Hagel to offset the second two-goal game of senior right wing Tim Wallace's career and junior center Josh Sciba's second goal in as many games as the Irish fall to 0-3-0 on the season. For Princeton, the season-opening win makes the Tigers 1-0 on the year.
The loss extends Notre Dame's winless skid to 22 games (0-20-2) as the Irish have not won since Jan. 2 of last season.
The Irish dominated the game in the first period, out shooting Princeton by a 17-2 margin on the way to a 37-13 edge for the entire game.
Geockner-Zoeller got the Tigers on the board first when he beat David Brown from the bottom of the left-wing circle at the 8:01 mark of the opening period.
Notre Dame evened the game at 1-1 just 10 seconds later when Wallace got his first of the game at 8:11 off a face off to the right of Slapsky. Mark Van Guilder won the draw to Wallace at the hash marks and he whipped a shot past the Tiger goaltender for his first of the season.
Wallace would give the Irish their only lead of the night at 5:07 of the second period. Senior Matt Amado broke up a Tiger pass at the Notre Dame blue line and raced to the right side deep into the Princeton zone where he pulled up at the right wing circle. He found Wallace in the slot and the senior snapped a shot behind Slapsky for the 2-1 lead.
From there, the Irish lost their momentum when Goeckner-Zoeller scored his second of the night and first on the power play at 7:06 to even the score at 2-2.
"We made a couple of mistakes and they were in the net," said Irish coach Jeff Jackson following the game.
"We imploded. We started turning the puck over, giving up odd-man rushes. The whole game turned around."
Princeton took the lead just 21 seconds later when an errant drop pass at the Notre Dame blue line turned into a three-on-one for the Tigers.
Kevin Westgarth's (three assists) shot from the top of the right-wing circle was stopped by Brown but the rebound landed on Neundorfer's stick at the bottom of the left circle. He wasted little time depositing the puck behind the Irish goaltender for a power-play goal, his first of the year at 7:27.
The lead would go to 4-2 at 12:20 when Erik Pridham and Christian Read combined on a two-on-one to beat Brown. The Tigers scored three times in the period on just seven shots for the two-goal lead.
In the third period, Notre Dame came out strong and poured 14 more shots on the Princeton goal but only scored once.
Sciba cut the lead to 4-3 just 3:56 into the final period when he tucked the rebound of a Erik Condra behind Slapsky for his second goal of the season.
That would be as close as the Irish would get as Princeton picked up an insurance goal at 18:31 as Kyle Hagel scored from in front for his first of the season and the final of 5-3.
"I was pleased with the way we played in the first and third period. I was even pleased with the first and last five minutes of the second period," said Jackson.
"For 10 minutes, we forgot how to play hockey. Our turnovers weren't the results of playing aggressive; they were the result of playing stupid. I take full responsibility for it. We talked before the game about playing 60 minutes. I forgot to remind them for the second period. They fell asleep in the locker room.
On the night, Princeton was 2-for-7 on the power play while the Irish were 0-for-10. Brown finished the night with eight saves.
The two teams meet again on Saturday night at the Joyce Center.

256-bit memory bus, 325MHz RAW memory (probably 128MB & 256MB versions)
Marketing claims that the NV36 is twice the NV31 (as they did with the NV35)
Half the shader pipes of the NV35 (FX 5900)
Apparently it will be branded the GeForce FX 5700, and whilst it taped-out sometime during May, general availability is still unknown.

BUNNER v. NEIL

U.S. Supreme Court
BUNNER v. NEIL, 1 U.S. 457 (1789)
1 U.S. 457 (Dall.)
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
September Term, 1789
This cause was removed by Habeas Corpus from the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, and, on the trial, a verdict was found in favor of the Plaintiff, for L4.10.8. which the defendant paid to the Prothonotary, and then moved to stay proceedings, contending, that as the Plaintiff's demand was reduced below L.10. by a direct payment, and not by discount, or set off, the Plaintiff must pay the costs.
The Plaintiff, on the other hand, obtained a rule to show cause, why the Defendant should not pay double costs, under the Act of Assembly, which provides, that, if the defendant removes the cause, and a sum under L. [Footnote 50] is found for the Plaintiff, the Defendant shall pay double costs.
After argument, by Swift, for the Plaintiff, and Tilghman, for the Defendant, the rule to stay proceedings was made absolute; and the rule for payment of double costs, was discharged.

Mentioned this already in an answer to a related question. DateListPlot in Mathematica 10 has a horrible bug: If two points have the same time coordinate, only one is plotted; the others are ignored. This is different in Mathematica 9, where all points are plotted correctly. Wolfram tells me that they have this bug in their list to be fixed in the next update. For now I made a workaround with a function that makes identical time coordinates differ by a few seconds, so that DateListPlot plots all points. Has anybody another solution?
Here's my current workaround. Works only if the distinct time coordinates are sufficiently separated.

As far as I know you can play any DVD on your PC using the VLC Player. That program doesn't care whether the disc's code matches the one of the DVD-drive and is available for free (just google it). Greetings to all, Andrea

Hi Annie, With quite a few DVD players they can easily be converted to be 'region-free' by punching in numbers on the remote control while aiming it at the DVD player. If your customer Googles the brand and model of her DVD player plus the words 'region unlock code' there should be some useful results.
posts on 8/14/2013 4:02:42 PM
Hi I also had that problem but found a program on-line.It gave information for various brands of machine. It worked ok on 2 of 3 machines.

hi Annie, I agree with sugeebas, exactly the same thing happened to me and the out came was the same no problem at all so I would also advise your friend to do as sugeebas recommends it can be done,sorry all short and sweet love
posts on 8/14/2013 12:38:35 PM
Hi Annie, I once purchased one of Deric's DVD's online and when I tried to play it, found that it was only for Region 1 (USA import!). I was so terribly upset. Then I had to have a computer expert in to fix my PC and I mentioned it to him. He said that he had a conversion programme and that would convert my DVD to Region 1. He came back with my DVD and a converted copy and I was a very happy fan indeed. So, you could advise your customer that there are possibilities to have her American DVD converted to play here in the UK. She should ask around and perhaps someone she knows, knows someone who could do it, or failing that, ask at a computer specialist shop. What they would charge I have no idea. I was lucky, the young guy did it for me without charging. There may even be conversion programs on line that she could use. Good Luck.

Hi Annie. I don't have an answer regarding the re-release of the DVD, but at least The Wedding Gift is available on youtube. Hope this is of some help. You're in our thoughts. Love, Jan

Hello - Bibliophile has been asked the following question, and I thought you may be best people to ask so I can help this lady... God bless you all, Annie xx "I have long been a fan of Deric's marvellous books, and I am very sorry to hear of his sad passing, my thoughts are with Aileen and their families. I have all of Deric's books, and the wonderful Lost for Words on DVD, and I am wondering if anybody in you company can bring pressure to bear and get Wide Eyed and Legless re-released on DVD, I have tried contacting the BBC but have had no joy from them whatsoever. I don't know who else to approach regarding this. I know it is available with the title The Wedding Gift on a region 1 DVD in America; but that is no good to us in the UK with region 2 coding. Kind Regards, Jackie L "

Thats a a great idea Audrey and Liz. I would be prepared to travel to meet up with a few of you. I'm sure that Deric would have loved the idea. At least we know that we all have lots in common. Any more of you fancy the idea? Love to everyone. Jocelyn from Brighouse.
