When I turn on my HP Pavilion DV6 it starts normally. Windows (win7) is loaded and a few seconds after that the screen fades. It doesn't go completely black, it fades to 99% black. External monitor plugged in works normally.
What I have done so far is:
- Installed Linux on the laptop. The same problem
- Installed Win 7 32b again, installed all updates + latest drivers. The same problem
- Entered BIOS and restored to default settings. The same problem
- Updated BIOS from ver. 14 to 18. The same problem
- Run diagnostic tools. In the BIOS diagnostic log, there is error 0106 repeating many times. Couldn't find what it means.
- Removed the battery. The same problem
I noted that when going into BIOS the screen fades as well, and as it is the same with Linux, I think the problem cannot be drivers, updates or OS related. Another thing is that when I toggle windows button + 'P' and set it to projector only, the screens turns completely black (as it should) and when I set it to 'duplicate screen' the laptop screen starts working again for a couple of seconds and fades to 99% black again.
Why is this happening?

I've been working at this for a few days. I've searched all over and as far as I can tell, I'm setting up my printer correctly. I have hpcups (latest version.) My printer is an HP Officejet 5610. It works perfectly if I set it up directly (USB to Ubuntu machine.) No configuring is required. I just plug it in and it already has the drivers. However, when I set it up through the print server, it acts very strangely. It appears to start sending the file, the printer starts to pull the paper, then it just hangs. The printer states "printing" and stays in that state until I turn it off. CUPS states that the printer is "processing" and it stays that way until I cancel the print job.
So, I really don't know what more do to. The way I set up the printer was by going to System->Administration->Printing. I added and chose LPD/LPR Host or Printer. I put in my IP address for the print server, clicked "probe" (it came up with the queue name "PASSTHRU") then hit "Forward." I chose "HP" and then chose "HP 5600 Series." Everything seems right, but then it all goes wrong.
Any ideas would be great. I've done lots of trying and lots of searching before finally deciding to post to a forum. Every tutorial I find leads me to believe I've set this up right.
I used this guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516747
...It takes a l-o-n-g time to print this way. It is s-l-o-w-e-r ...
Thanks. I'm going to try the IPP URI rather than the LPD set up when I get home. Perhaps that will make a difference. On my windows machine, it sets up as LPD, and I've seen other people state to use that in linux, too. But, the IPP is worth a try. It may see it as Internet printer and work fine.
Well, I tried setting it up as IPP with no luck. My print server isn't wireless, but I didn't know if that would make a difference. It's a USB print server that connects to the router with Cat-5 and then you plug the printer into it via a USB cable. The computers then connect via the router connection to the network. Hopefully I can get this figured out.
I sympathize with your problem because I have a HP Laser Jet 1018 and have had allot of frustration with it in Linux in general not just Ubuntu, so I know what your going through. Anyway, I can't really help you much with the problem currently except that it probably has to do with the "plug-in" the printer needs from HP in order to work. I can however tell you how to avoid the problem in the future. When your installing Ubuntu about half way through the install you will see on the screen "DETECTING HARDWARE" when you see this turn the POWER off and back on quickly to the printer, I am NOT talking about the USB cable, but either the power cord itself or the small switch right beside it. Do this turning off and back on again 2 or 3 times during the hardware detection phase of the install. Somehow, this forces Ubuntu to detect the printer and then install the driver. After install is done, on first boot to the desktop, Ubuntu will automatically prompt you to install the plug-in say yes when prompted and enter your password. After the plug-in installs reboot the machine (just to be sure) and then the printer will work.
I hope this works for you my friend it works for me every time, good luck.

Bear raids happen. It is a fact of life in the markets, but for some reason the recent "rumour"-fuelled attack on HBOS seems to have struck a nerve and has led to reams of journalistic copy which has been churned out in varying levels of misinformation.
Talk of "wide boys" in small dealing rooms creating salacious gossip to further their ends has managed to give the impression of a "Wild West" lawlessness stalking the City which requires that the brave "Sheriff FSA" rides across the prairie to save the small investor.
The concept of "short-selling" has been drawn into question by those who do not understand its reasons or requirements, as if the mere idea that somebody might actually want a share price to fall was being somehow unfair or unpatriotic.
Let us get a bit of perspective here. Anyone who sells a share that they own is effectively stating: "I think that this stock has gone too far. I think that this is a good place to sell and take my profit."
Behind this is the unconscious thought of "and maybe the stock will fall and I can buy it back again at a lower price".
Short-sellers merely take this thought process one step further and make the sale of the stock a positive action and in the process risk being wrong.
The FSA seems to have been bounced into a costly and frankly pointless study with various members of the great and the good forming an investigation committee that we all know will be long on expenditure and conclusions but very short indeed on culprits.
Let's get a bit of clarity. For a rumour to work it has to be believable. It would be of more use to investigate why this particular bit of salacious gossip struck such a nerve among dealers; why were so many market makers, traders, major investors etc so ready to believe?
Unfortunately this particular signpost does not point anywhere near some small-time hedge fund or boiler-room geek. It directs us firmly down the road labelled "the Bank of England".
The management, by the BoE, of the current crisis engulfing the financial systems has been so weak that dealers are inclined to believe virtually any rumour concerning the various banks, and the weakness of the various market maker "books" has meant that every day sees huge moves in individual stocks.
In normal times market makers have reasonable levels of holdings in most equities, meaning that any buyers or sellers are merely adding to or removing from a solid overall holding.
Nowadays market makers have as small positions as possible, which means that every action of a client creates an exposure.
In more peaceful times the market maker did not really care, as he could be sure that the market would remain stable enough for him to neutralise the risk during the trading session. Nowadays the nervousness means that the price of individual stocks moves dramatically on very small volumes.
Curiously, I believe that the seeds of the HBOS crisis were sown a few days earlier than the actual event.
Out of the blue I received an email from one of our bigger clients stating that they had been offered very good rates by HBOS for short-term funding and that maybe I would like to call them up and place some of our funds with them as well. I replied, stating: "Thanks, but we are already well covered on this front."
Being the suspicious bloke that I am, I also sat there wondering why. Why was HBOS paying such good rates for short-term funds? If I was thinking this, you can bet your bottom dollar that many, more influential people than me were also thinking the same thing.
The need to pay over the odds for deposits generally means that you are struggling to get the money unless you pay a premium. The premium required is defined by the perceived risk of lending to that particular institution. A weak borrower will have to pay a much more penal rate than a strong one.
The rumour that HBOS had gone cap-in-hand to the BoE drifted into a market that already believed, rightly or wrongly, it was struggling to cover its books. It does not take a great leap of miscalculation to reach the incorrect conclusion and to start to sell off the stock.
As mentioned, "bear raiders" are not new: you do not have to believe the rumours and nobody forces you to sell your stock holding. In reality, it can be argued that any unreasonable fall in a stock probably creates more of a buying opportunity than a selling one.
It is now evident that HBOS directors had the courage of their conviction and went in and bought their own equity, a message that is far more significant than any tittle-tattle.
Remember that short-sellers trade at considerable risk. Bear squeezes tend to be far more vicious than bull ones, the cost of borrowing stock can be quite high and a short position will generally have a very limited time horizon, whereas a buyer may be able to think in terms of months and even years. If they get it wrong it can be very costly.
Any decision by the regulators to try to restrict the ability to take short positions will be a very retroactive move and would be cheered on by London's financial competitors.
In the current game, where more and more business is moving further and further east, to hamstring the City would be a very, very poor decision.
It is not the bear raid on HBOS that is "damaging" the reputation of the City. It is the reporting of it that is doing this.
Bear raiders generally - and there are a lot of them out there - are notorious for taking short positions.
Some of them then trash the company concerned via various outlets. They have been doing this very successfully for many years and do not seem to have been seriously challenged by the regulators.
If certain high-profile short-sellers are permitted to talk their own book in this fashion it is difficult for the regulators suddenly to get all noble about suppressing the rumour mill.
On another note, it is curious how unsubstantiated bullish rumours - of which there have been multitudes over the past few years and which have exactly the same effect as bear ones (in that they create short-term profits for the perpetrators) - never seem to raise the ire of either the media or the regulators. The same but not the same!

September 2012 Indie Next List
"Always one of the West's best storytellers, Doig has achieved here the perfect fictional mix: winning, believable characters; an intricate, timely, and surprising plot; and a Montana setting that pivots between the early days of JFK in the 1960s and the 1930s of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I frequently fall in love with books, but The Bartender's Tale is no mere infatuation!the love I feel for it will last a lifetime."
— Betsy Burton, The King's English, Salt Lake City, UT
From a great American storyteller, a one-of-a-kind father and his precocious son are rocked by a time of change. The pair make an odd kind of family, with the bar their true home, but they manage just fine until the summer of 1960 when two new women enter their lives.
About the Author
Ivan Doig was born in Montana in 1939 and grew up along the Rocky Mountain Front, the dramatic landscape that has inspired much of his writing. A recipient of a lifetime Distinguished Achievement Award from the Western Literature Association, he is the author of eight previous novels, most recently The Whistling Season, and three works of nonfiction, including This House of Sky. He lives in Seattle.

I have a eMachines netbook M350. It came with Windows 7 Starter installed. Recently, I reinstalled a fresh copy of Win 7 Ultimate, downloaded the wireless drivers from the manufacturer's page, and now I can't connect to any wireless network when the netbook is disconnected from AC power.
Sometimes, the wireless works fine after a reboot, but it's not always the case. Usually, it stays connected for 2-3 minutes, then it disconnects from the network.
Now, I don't think it's a hardware issue, because I booted it with Ubuntu on a USB drive and it works just fine, connected to AC power or not.
On the other hand, now I can't restore the netbook to the default installation, because when I reboot the computer it doesn't show me any option to do so. Does anyone knows how can I restore the system?

Australian Open Message Board
Who will win in 2008?
We're merely days away from the Australian Open 2008 so its about time we had a chat about who will win. Roger Federer has been in the press saying he's very keen to retain the title. Although he might occasionaly seem unbeatable, does anyone have any thoughts about who will win this year? Can Federer do it again or will there be challengers ready to fight him for the Australian Open?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Haha you can defend him all you like but still Nadal plays well only on clay and if he continues forcing himself like this on hardcourts he`ll start losing on clay too.Trust me Nadal`s full body style of play will shorten his career.He won`t last for long.
i'm sick and tired of the sayings that nadal is only good at clay.
he is just a very unlucky player.because he is so perfect on clay,even a little mistake on other surfaces counts as a failure.he was criticized by not making past quarterfinals in us and aussie open,now he did made it and people still don't like him. (i'm totally against the argument that in paris masters,he had an easy draw:youzhny and baghdatis always give nadal trouble and he beat them to make the finals)
just like nobody will ever consider roger as a "clay court player",it's the same destiny for nadal in hardcourts.
A Yahoo! User Jan 27, 2008 18:40 Flag
still - nadal can only play on clay
i asuming you are talking to me, Somebody. And no, i would never call somebody names. Doing that is showing weak!
In this discussion we keep talking around in circles, we just don't think alike and lets keep it at that. It's kinda something to call someone a conformist, especially someone you don't know. My opinions aren't formed by the mass, i have my own and make up my own mind, thank you very much!
And if this is the way you gonna attack my opinions, i gotta say i'm kinda done with it.
There's more than one good player in this world. Period! End of discussion for me!
Let's enjoy the game...
A Yahoo! User Jan 27, 2008 04:27 Flag
i haven't lost my grip to reality, and unlike most of people here (not you) i don't shout and fight or call someone stupid just because i disagree, i, as a matter of fact, have arguments for my claims.
ok, nadal:
roland garros - winner (clay)
wimbledon - final (grass) djokovic retired from their semi final clash due to injury, it was 1-0 in sets for djokovic
ausstralian open - semifinal (hard) but, let's be realistic he's had a pretty easy draw and was trashed by tsonga
us open - r16 (hard)
that's his grand slam record
master series:
indian wales - winner (hard) defeated djokovic in the final, would love to see him do that this year
rome - winner (clay)
monte carlo - winner (clay)
paris - final (hard) again pretty easy draw
hamburg - final (clay) defeated by federer
montereal - semifinal (hard) def. by djokovic, who by the way won the title by defeating roddick, nadal and federer, not to mantion rafa's draw again
madrid - quarter final (hard)
miami - quarter final (hard) def by djokovic yet again
cincinaty - r32 (hard)
so i think it does have a point saying rafa's not a complete player and will never be a true no1. he is currently no2 because in the last two years there hasn't been any real competition to federer and him, but now djokovic started playing his real game it's gonna be interesting to see how things develope
and yes, there is something more to the world than djokovic but at the moment federer and nadal aren't that something...
not calling you stupid or anything but i think your opinion is beeing modeled by the majority and you're a kind of conformist, don't know how much you watch tennis and see how really good are players and what are their flaws
hahaha, now you are way off base. I am not stupid at all!!! AND nothing and nobody is forever, not federer, not nadal, not djokovic....absolutely no one. We will see who's turn it is and for how long. Don't hold your for breath too long though!
A Yahoo! User Jan 25, 2008 07:57 Flag

Djokovic is the best. Only he can beat Federer
A Yahoo! User Jan 25, 2008 07:54 Flag
I agree with you! Djokovic didn't want to insult enyone. Last time, man who interwiu Djokovic, ask him to imitate maria Sharapova. Maria and Novak are good friends. That's all joke. I hope that Djokovic will beat federer on semifinal. Nadal is a great player but I think that Novak is better on every ped not only dross like Nadal. Nobody can win agenst nadal on dross.

Novak can win! he have real chance=) Sharapova will win, i give 100%

Orlin Wagner, Associated Press
ATCHISON, Kan. — Three young men were killed in a thunderous explosion at a Kansas grain elevator and recovery efforts for three other people presumed dead were being hampered by the damage, authorities said late Sunday.
The blast, which shook the ground so hard that it was felt in neighboring Missouri, was a harrowing reminder of the dangers workers face inside elevators brimming with highly combustible grain dust at the end of the harvest season.
The explosion Saturday night in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City, sent an orange fireball into the night sky, shot off a chunk of the grain distribution building directly above the elevator and blew a large hole in the side of the one of its concrete silos.
The three Bartlett Grain Co. workers killed were identified late Sunday by local authorities as Chad Roberts, 20; Ryan Federinko, 21; and John Burke, 24. Two other employees were hospitalized with severe burns.
Bartlett officials decided to temporarily halt the search for three other people presumed dead — one worker and two grain inspectors — because of safety concerns inside the heavily damaged facility. In a statement late Sunday, company officials "it is apparent that they also were killed in the explosion."
Smoke could still be seen billowing from the top of the elevator Sunday, and officials were fearful the building could fall on top of rescue crews.
"It's a fairly dangerous situation. We don't feel comfortable putting fire crews in," Atchison City Manager Trey Cocking said.
Recovery efforts were expected to resume at daybreak Monday, officials said.
Among the three presumed dead was Travis Keil, a war veteran who had served as a site inspector for 16 years. His parents, Gary and Ramona Keil, drove from Salina to Atchison, to wait with his three children — ages 8, 12 and 15 — as crews searched.
"We have all our prayers working for him," Gary Keil said. "It's a parent's worst nightmare to go through this."
Bartlett Grain President Bill Fellows said in a statement that workers were loading a train with corn when the explosion occurred, but the cause was not immediately known. The company brought in a South Dakota-based engineer with expertise in such accidents to help federal safety investigators on the scene.
Over the past four decades, there have more than 600 explosions at grain elevators, killing more than 250 people and injuring more than 1,000, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Just last year, there were grain explosions or fires in several states including In Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, South Dakota and Louisiana. None were fatal, but several sent workers scrambling and one in Toledo, Ohio in September 2010 forced people to evacuate from a nearby mobile home park.
When grain is handled at elevators, it creates dust that floats around inside the storage facility. The finer the grain dust particles, the greater its volatility. Typically, something — perhaps sparks from equipment or a cigarette — ignites the dust. That sends a pressure wave that detonates the rest of the floating dust in the facility.
Fireballs are a common feature of grain dust explosions, where intense heat from the blast can reach 1,500 to 2,000 degrees.
Dust from corn is among the most dangerous. Most dust explosions happen in late summer and early fall when old, dried grain is being cleaned out of elevators in preparation for the harvest. Freshly harvested corn is less explosive because its wetter.
The Atchison elevator, which is federally licensed to handle up to 1.18 million bushels, is among roughly 850-plus elevators in Kansas. The state is now winding up its fall harvest of corn, sorghum and soybeans.

Mobile-Phone Farming
Which pesticide will protect my crops?
It's a question most farmers in insect-ridden rural India ask themselves or their neighbors. But it's also a question to which very few have the correct answer.
That was the inspiration behind mKRISHI, a platform developed by Tata Consultancy Services to provide personalized advice to Indian farmers on low-end mobile phones. TCS, an Asian Innovation Awards finalist, spent two years studying farming patterns in rural India and developing methods to connect farmers to agricultural experts, with the belief that technology could jump-start some of India's seemingly ancient agricultural practices.
"It appears that there is a last-mile gap between farmers and agricultural experts," said Arun Pande, the head of TCS Innovation Labs and the leader behind mKRISHI. "In the absence of correct information and advice which is specific to him, the farmer relies on what other farmers do—or on his traditional wisdom."
In 2007, Mr. Pande traveled through different parts of rural India to meet farmers and understand their business. After listening to their concerns—Will it rain enough in my village this season? Will my crop catch my neighbor's crop disease? Where can I take out a loan?—he saw the opportunity to grow that business by providing personalized responses to such questions.
Vote for the Winner
You've read about The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards finalists. Which one should win?
"If one analyzes the questions, one finds them to be quite specific to a farmer's immediate environment and context," Mr. Pande said. "Hence, the information or advice given should be personalized to his need."
MKRISHI, whose name combines "m" for "mobile" and "krishi," which refers to agriculture in many Indian languages, costs a farmer between $1 and $2 a month. TCS partners with wireless operators to allow farmers to download the platform on high-end phones, and TCS has set up "mini-mobile sites" that farmers can visit to have the platform installed on low-end phones.
The platform's technology not only allows farmers to submit questions to experts, but also provides environment-specific details that give the experts a kind of agricultural map of the issue at hand. For example, when a farmer enters his location on mKRISHI, agricultural sensors connect to geo-location services like GPS and Google Earth to deliver local weather, soil conditions, common pests and food-grain prices to the expert on the other end. Farmers can also attach photos if they have mobile cameras.

"The mobile phone overcomes the lack of power and wire-line communication infrastructure in rural areas, enabling farmers to get advice one-on-one from experts," Mr. Pande said.
The experts, who have at least two years of agricultural study or experience, access mKRISHI on the Web, where each query is automatically assigned an identification number and an "Open" status. Six experts—two in Punjab and four in Uttar Pradesh—currently work on mKRISHI, but Mr. Pande said only 5% to 10% of questions are complex enough to merit consultation with an expert.
"We plan to provide expert system tools to agriculture workers to improve quality of their advice, and we provide FAQ and best practices on the farmer's mobile phone," Mr. Pande said. "This reduces the number of routine queries coming to the expert for response.
"Once the number of farmers and number of queries increase, we plan to involve agricultural workers with three to five years of field experience," he added.
Kamaldeep Singh, an expert since July 2009 and a research fellow at Punjab Agricultural University, works on mKRISHI on a daily basis. He calls the platform a "constant collaboration" between farmers and experts, rather than a one-time or one-way service.
"Whenever a question arrives, I answer it within six hours," Mr. Singh said. "Every day, I receive voice messages from farmers through the Internet."
TCS launched mKRISHI in 2009 in the agricultural states of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, where it now serves about 500 farmers. But TCS believes at least 1,000 farmers benefit via the farmers' social networks.
"It is very much helpful if they use this practice collaboratively," said Mr. Singh. "If they have knowledge, they will go to pesticide sellers and tell them, 'That chemical we require; that one we do not require.'"
Still, it's still only the beginning for mKRISHI—a "limited commercial launch," Mr. Pande says. Eventually, TCS hopes to partner with other major IT companies "and generate thousands of micro enterprises in villages" serving 50,000 farmers. Besides improving the platform with new tools, TCS sees its responsibility as playing "the leadership role in creating a consortium of partners and facilitating village entrepreneurship," Mr. Pande said.
To that end, the 58-year-old entrepreneur hopes soon to take mKRISHI abroad. So far, TCS has been invited to the Philippines and Ghana to demonstrate the platform in local languages.
"Farmers should feel secure knowing that they can get in touch with an expert anytime, anywhere," Mr. Pande said.

The Supreme Court's agreement that people can be thrown out of their homes so that a shopping mall and a research centre for Pfizer can be built in New London, Connecticut has opened the floodgates. The white-shoed big-noters of Freeport, Texas have just declared this is the "last little piece of the puzzle" allowing them to throw people out of their homes so they can build a marina.
Sit back and watch the announcements tumble in, and realise that bulldozing people's homes for 'the public good' is not just something done in Zimbabwe.
Here's a further round-up of news and commentary on the original decision from Yahoo News, from David M. Brown, Edward Hudgins, George Will, Don Boudreaux, Tyler Cowen, and my own post on the matter, and a number of posts by Todd Zywicki and others at The Volokh Conspiracy.
And if you'd prefer not to sit back but to fight back, check out the The Castle Coalition, a project of The Institute for Justice.

Bulldozing homes--and this is not Zimbabwe
3 comments:
Some good news on this front P.C.: Texas has told the SCOTUS to piss off.ReplyDelete
I'm just wondering then, why are we still thinking that Zimbabwe's government is any worse than many other in Western countries? Sure it is more dramatic in Africa due to poverty, but basically not too different.ReplyDelete

This knife is great! My only issue was that the box was sealed and the knife was not wrapped in anything and it was scratched quite a bit!
Excellent product; while it is not really a "multi-tool" in the broadest sense, this knife has most of the things that your average guy or gal would need for tightening screws, cutting paper, turning nuts, filing wood/metal, etc., etc., etc.! Love it and use it everyday, EVERYDAY!
I purchased this for my husband for Christmas. He loved it and has been using it everyday. The only small issue was it didn't come packed well and the books was beat up leaving the knife with a few small scratches. Overall, great product at a great price!
This is a good, practical knife. I got it as a replacement for my husband, who carried and used his first Craftsman for the past 15 years. This one appears to be the same, dependable Victorinox quality as his old one.
This is a replacement for a lost knife and I looked for the same features online

2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Hatchback LT 4dr Hatchback (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this car off the lot back in '05. I take good care of my car and my wife occasionally drives it on the highway only. I have had the back seat levers break, my trunk release works only when it feels like it - which is great if you go to the grocery store and it decides not to work. The driver's side seat frame broke at 2 welds and is now a rocking chair ($517.97 for the part alone - no tax or installation) and the driver's side door lock only locks and unlocks manually. I had to purchase new key chain units as well due to the 2 that came with the car breaking when new batteries had to be installed. DVD player stopped working and car always pulls to the left despite 4 alignments.
Bought after 2005 models introduced and got an excellent price. Loved it for the 1st couple of years until things started to fail. CD player failed on way home from the dealership. Replaced, but failed again in 2 years. Power steering and drivers seat frame failed. Although same steering failures covered under extended warranty for some VIN's, Chevy made us pay for more than half of cost. Rear seat reclining levers broke, fuse problems, both remote controls broke.
Heated seats, speakers, spacious back seat, fold down back seats, good mileage.
Higher quality materials and much better quality control
I bought my Maxx LT used with almost 90,000 miles on it. I knew I wanted this car, & I researched it & found a great deal at a local car lot. Since buying it I have had very little trouble. Replaced the thermostat within the first few months & I had to replace something with the AC & it was over $500, but that is it! Sometimes the hatch won't open, but I have figured out a few tricks to get it to work. I take my car camping, it is used for road trips, I drive in the snow- I can do anything! Everyone always loves my car once they have been it. My best friend went & bought a Maxx too- but hers is newer than mine and a LS. She likes my '04 LT Maxx better!
XM Radio, Radio Controls on Steering Wheel, My moon roof & sun roof, the fold down seats, heated seats, & leather interior.
The vanity mirrors are cheap. The cover broke off of one of mine & the other is about to come off. My friend's Maxx did the same thing.
I have owned this car for less than a year (less than 70,000 miles) and it has had more than $3000 in repairs. The most recent issue for me was loss of power steering while on the highway. It's obvious to me that GM was aware of this safety issue, having issued a recall for the same year/make/model, although not including my VIN and they are not at all willing to assist me, although the dealership offered me a 10% discount on my bill. I will never again purchase a GM vehicle after the poor customer service I have received and vehicle quality I have experienced.
DVD player and sunroof
This prototype needed to be further reviewed prior to be released to the general public. Many flaws, including issues with the intermediate shaft and steering column.
I liked the car when I first purchased it; see my review in 12/04. But the car definitely has some quality issues. At 80,000 miles, I have replaced the steering column twice. Yes, the steering column! When it goes, it is almost dangerous to drive. I've also replaced the front bearings, the intake manifold, and the DVD system. The remote starter doesn't work anymore. Currently, my CD's are stuck in the audio system and wont play or eject. I took very good care of this car with the plan of giving it to my daughter, and while it still looks good, and my daughter loves driving it, it unfortunately has real quality issues.
Fun to drive. Handles Well.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Opaque, almost impenetrable ruby red.Bouquet: Aromas of wild red berryfruit, vanilla, black pepper, tobacco leaf, cinnamon, bitter chocolate.Palate: Emphatic, well-ripened fruit, velvety texture, elegant, with a perfect equilibrium between fruit and oak.
Wine Maker Notes
Pier delle Vigne was produced for the first time in 1991, and with the exception of the 2002 growing year, has always been a star performer. Its namesake, Pier delle Vigne, was the right-hand man of Frederick II of Swabia and the one who introduced the first red-wine grapes into this area. "His" wine is painstakingly produced from Montepulciano and aglianico grapes grown in our finest vineyards. It is then aged for 24 months in once-used barrels to soften aglianico's typically aggressive tannins, then the final blend is assembled and the wine receives another year of bottle-ageing. This is a powerful yet elegant wine, one that has become one of Puglia's most sought-after treasures.
Technical Notes
Grapes: 60% aglianico, 40% Montepulciano.Denomination: Murgia Rosso IGT.Growing area: Border area between Matera and Gravina.Soils: Deep, volcanic soils for aglianico, fine-textured, chalky soils for Montepulciano.Elevation: 550 metres.Vineyard aspect: South-west.Training system: Bush-trained for aglianico, vertical for Montepulciano.Pruning system: Guyot.Vineyard density per hectare: 4,000 on average.Crop yield per hectare: 60 q..Harvest period: Late October.Fermentation: Traditional red wine fermentation in stainless steel at 20°-28°C.Fermentation length of skin contact: 20 days.Fermentation temperature: 26°-28°C.Malolactic fermentation: Complete.Maturation: 24 months in French Allier 225-litre barrels, one half new, the rest once-used, followed by a year in the bottle.Alcohol: 14% Vol.Analytical data: Acidity 5.9 g/l; pH 3.88.
Food Pairing
Roast and marinades, aged cheeses, and outstanding sipped all by itself as a "vino da meditazione"

I have taken real analysis, but never learned Fourier analysis. What is a good book to get started? I'm not sure the Stein book would be good.
Gerald Folland's book (amazon) is excellent.
Dym & McKean's book Fourier Series and Integrals has a better collection of applications than most (I suspect?) books do. Physics, number theory, probability, isoperimetric problems, ..... lots of stuff.
A good place to start is Tolstov's little book on Fourier Analysis. It is published by Dover and it's inexpensive. There are nice problems.
Here is the Amazon page for it. The Stein books are wonderful but they do demand a serious level of skill with analysis. This book is a good place for you to start.
"Fourier analysis" by T.W. Körner and its accompanied exercise book are the best.
please don't propose books that are impossible to find on internet, there are enough books and courses that are free to read on internet,
and the scientifics that you are should understand it is a huge social progress that everyone can FREELY access to the scientific knowledge.
look at any of the first links for :
google / fourier transform pdf
google / discrete fourier transform pdf
google / distribution fourier transform pdf
google / laplace transform pdf
google / filter convolution pdf
google / linear differential equation pdf
but be careful, it can take ~ 5 to 10 years to fully study the subject, it is so vast

text: I have installed the module and it does not work properly in MultiSite. Each administrator in MultiSite can set its own name for chat is working correctly. But when we go to the tab "agents" to appoint an agent, we see here all administrators MultiSite, but should only see the administrator and users of this particular site but not all admins of MultiSite install. So this is a serious bug plugin and it is in serious violation of security. Here is another serious bug: if one user in the system MultiSite on its website chooses agent in the plugin settings, this agent is selected for ALL sites in MultiSite. And it is also a very big bug. I think your plugin makes incorrect queries to the database, because of this, there are problems in the operation of the plug-in for MultiSite. So now the plugin unusable in MultiSite, although a people who use MultiSite very much. May be you have some hot fix to resolve this problem? Please help to resolve these issues - I think it will be a lot of people very helpful.

Goo Mage in the Makeing by Sin-RWatch
©2010-2016 Sin-R
It looks like Ren is getting better. She will probibly be the first non-Slime 'Goo Mage'. The reason it is hard for anyone besides a Slime to become a Goo Mage is because all the spells for that class can only be cast in the Slime language. That language is really hard to learn witch is why there are no people besides Slimes that become Goo Mages.
Ren baby: [link]

Is there a good reason to become a Goo Mage? I would like to know it.
Well it's the only way to make a Goo Girl.
Hmm...Interesting it looks to me like she may have made a copy or a slime doppelganger that's pretty cool doppelganger spells are hard to master.
She looks cute and the slimes look shocked
Well they have good reason to. There has never bead a Non-Slime than can use Goo Magic.
cool ^^
I'd LOVE to be a goo mage
Very interesting work indeed.

Here it is argued that in order for something someone "does" to count as a genuine action, the person needn't have been able to refrain from doing it. If this is right, then two recent defenses of the principle of alternative possibilities, a version of which says that a person is morally responsible for what he has done only if he could have refrained from doing it, are unsuccessful.

Hi Ruth – I'm not sure why you're not seeing them. But this does happen sometimes. I'll take a look at the subscription list and see what's going on.

000 AXPZ20 KNHC 251000 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 708 UTC Mon Jul 25 2016 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0830 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Hurricane Georgette is centered at 16.3N 126.8W at 0900 UTC, moving northwest or 315 degrees at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds remain 115 kt with gusts to 140 kt. Georgette is still a category 4 hurricane. Estimated minimum central pressure has leveled off at 952 mb. The eye is still distinct in satellite imagery, which reflects the recent intensification. Numerous strong convection is noted within 45 nm of the center and scattered moderate isolated strong convection is present in the W semicircle within 90 nm. Georgette is expected to continue moving NW and begin weakening during the next few days. Georgette will reach cooler waters Monday which will reinforce the weakening trend. Refer to the latest NHC forecast advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP3/WTPZ23 KNHC for more details. Tropical Storm Frank is centered at 20.1N 113.2W at 0900 UTC, or about 285 nm SW of the southern tip of Baja California. Frank is moving west, or 280 degrees at 3 kt. Maximum sustained winds heave decreased to 55 kt with gusts to 65 kt. The estimated minimum central pressure has risen to 994 mb. During the past 6 hours Frank has been drifting slowly W as cloud tops have warmed and deteriorated. Scattered moderate convection is seen within 150 nm of the center. Frank is expected to resume a WNW motion later Today and is expected to remain near its current intensity for the next day or so. Beyond Tuesday, Frank will continue gradually weakening and move NW before becoming a post-tropical remnant low on Fri. Large S swell from Frank continue to impact the southern coast of Baja California Sur and S portions of the Gulf of California. The swell will reach the central portions of the Baja Peninsula tonight and Monday. The swell will generate rough and dangerous surf along the local regional coastlines. Refer to the latest NHC forecast advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP2/WTPZ22 KNHC for more details. Also see latest high seas forecast under AWIPS/WMO headers MIAHSFEP2/FZPN03 KNHC for more details on the wave forecasts associated with these systems. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave N of 09N along 96W is triggering scattered moderate to isolated strong convection near the Gulf of Tehuantepec from 12N to 17N between 93W and 100W. This wave will shift to the west of the Tehuantepec region and the adjacent near and offshore coastal waters during the next 24-36 hours. ..INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from near 08N78W to 10N101W to 09N106W. The ITCZ continues from 09N106W to 07N116W to 08N122W then resumes from 12N131W to beyond 10N140W. Widely scattered moderate to strong convection is present within 150 nm of the trough between 88W and 111W. Widely scattered moderate to strong convection is north of 13N between 92W and 98.5W. Scattered moderate to strong convection is noted within 120 nm north and 150 nm south of the ITCZ west of 128W. ...DISCUSSION... North of 15N and east of 120W: Tropical Storm Frank continues drifting slowly W away from Socorro and the Revillagigedo Islands. Winds and seas will slowly improve for these locales. However, outer bands of moderate convection along the southeast side of Frank persist across the islands this morning. S swell associated with Frank have been impacting the area between the southern entrance of the Gulf of California between Cabo San Lucas and Cabo Corrientes. The swell are fanning out N and NE to inside the southern portions of the Gulf of California. Offshore seas of 6 to 9 ft are presently occurring across this area. Seas of 8 to 12 ft will spread over the Pacific offshore waters off Baja California Sur through early Monday, away from the immediate vicinity of Frank. This will maintain rough and hazardous marine conditions across the offshore waters, and produce large and powerful surf along the exposed coastal areas of Baja California Sur and western Mexico. Large waves and very strong rip currents will dominate these coastlines through Monday. N swell related to strong winds of California are pushing south. The swell will mix with S swell generated by Frank off the Baja California Norte coast through the next couple of days but conditions should slowly improve this week as Frank moves NW away from the area. South of 15N and east of 120W: Moderate to locally fresh east winds are expected across and just downstream of the Gulf of Papagayo during the overnight hours during the next several days. The winds will be augmented by nocturnal drainage flow. West of 120W: High pressure is building N of the area and into the sub- tropical areas north of 25N in the wake of Estelle, which has dissipated W of the area. This is allowing a modest increase in trade wind flow farther south in the deep tropics west of 130W, supporting an area of showers and thunderstorms north of a newly formed ITCZ boundary. Georgette will track NW and weaken the ridge again during the next couple of days, allowing trade winds to diminish. Swell generated from Georgette, and Frank as it crosses W of 120W Tuesday night, will interact with N swell generated from strong winds W of the California coast. N swell to 9 ft will propagate into the waters west of 120W and north of 24N into mid week. $$ CAM

text: Rob Portman The Topsy-Turvy World Of The Strickland-Sittenfeld Race By Howard Wilkinson • Aug 9, 2015 There are many odd things about this battle within the ranks of Ohio Democrats over the U.S. Senate seat, with 30-year-old P.G. Sittenfeld, the council member from Cincinnati, taking on the 74-year-old former governor and congressman, Ted Strickland. First, there is the fact that Sittenfeld, despite having the entire Ohio Democratic Party structure lined up against him, and the national party too, shows absolutely no sign of dropping out of the race against Strickland who has the lead not only in name recognition but in money raised. But that's not the strangest thing. Will International Trade Deals Make The Difference In Ohio's U.S. Senate Race? By Howard Wilkinson • Jun 28, 2015 There was an air of breathless urgency in the e-mail from the Ted Strickland for Senate campaign that crashed into thousands of Ohio Democrats' inboxes Thursday afternoon. "If there was ever a time to show your support for Ted, that time is NOW.,'' said the e-mail, signed by Strickland campaign manager Rebecca Pearcy. "Polls have Ted in a dead heat with Rob Portman…Pundits are calling Ted's campaign one of the most important races in the country to winning back the Senate majority…EVERYONE is watching to see just how much grassroots support we have. Poll: Strickland Holds Lead Over Portman In Ohio Senate Race By Howard Wilkinson • Jun 22, 2015 If the election were held today, former Ohio governor Ted Strickland would defeat Republican incumbent Rob Portman in in the U.S. Senate race, according to an independent poll released Monday morning. The Quinnipiac University poll – which looked at Senate races in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania – had the former Democratic governor with 46 percent support to 40 percent for Portman, the Terrace Park Republican who is running for a second term. Expect a battle over international trade deals in Ohio's Senate race By Howard Wilkinson • May 3, 2015 The late Jim Rhodes, who managed to be elected Ohio governor four times and was about the most pragmatic politician we've known in over 40 years of covering politics, had a saying about Ohio voters. Actually, he had many sayings. But this one rang true back in Rhodes' day and till holds some power today. Ohio voters, Rhodes would say, care the most about three things – "jobs, jobs, and jobs." To many Ohio workers, the debate over "free trade" and "fair trade" is very real. Howard Wilkinson's Monday politics chat: Why Ohio's U.S. Senate race is so interesting By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 23, 2015 WVXU politics reporter Howard Wilkinson talked with news director Maryanne Zeleznik about what is at stake in the 2016 U.S. Senate race in Ohio. Sittenfeld talks a lot about Portman, but Strickland's his immediate problem By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 22, 2015 There must be a lot of Democratic Party leaders around Ohio scratching their heads lately. Why, they must be asking themselves, is P.G. Sittenfeld, the 30-year-old Cincinnati councilman who announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate some time ago, still in the race? It's been almost two weeks now since the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee threw its support behind former governor Ted Strickland for the 2016 U.S. Senate nomination. Howard Wilkinson's Monday politics chat: Portman and Iran letter By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 16, 2015 WVXU politics reporter Howard Wilkinson talked with news director Maryanne Zeleznik this morning about the fall-out from Sen. Rob Portman joining 46 other GOP senators in signing a letter to the government of Iran. Democrats blast Portman for signing Iran letter, but he's unapologetic By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 15, 2015 It's hard to say for certain at this point, but Ohio's junior U.S. Senator, Rob Portman, may have given the Democrats who want to take his job away from him in next year's election a campaign issue. Portman was one of 47 Republican senators who signed a letter last week to the leadership of Iran warning them that if they reach an agreement with the Obama administration on nuclear weapons, the next president and Congress could undo it. Seven GOP senators did not sign the letter. Strickland's U.S. Senate bid gets big boost from national Democratic campaign committee By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 10, 2015 Former Ohio governor Ted Strickland's bid for the U.S. Senate got a huge boost Tuesday morning when the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) endorsed his candidacy. The DSCC is capable of raising millions of dollars for Democratic U.S. Senate candidates. Its endorsement of Strickland is a blow to the campaign of Cincinnati city council member P.G. Sittenfeld, who is the only other announced Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Republican Rob Portman. Tea Party favorite Sen. Mike Lee helping Ohio's Rob Portman raise money By Howard Wilkinson • Mar 9, 2015 U.S. Senate Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a Tea Party favorite, is coming to Cincinnati in May to speak at the county party's biggest fundraising dinner of the year, but he is also helping Ohio Sen. Rob Portman raise money for his re-election campaign. Lee has agreed to be the keynote speaker at the Hamilton County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner on May 16 at the invitation of Portman, according to county party chairman Alex Triantafilou. "Senator Lee and Rob are good friends; and he wants to help Rob any way he can in getting re-elected,'' Triantafilou said. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 next › last »

The large treasure trove of pictures and memorabilia that once belonged to long-time Far Rockaway High School Athletic Director Harry Luft, continues to amaze both those at the Rockaway Museum, who are readying the facility for a FRHS exhibit as well as the editors of The Wave. These two pictures are uncommon in that they are undated. Is there anybody out there who can identify the students? The first picture looks as if it were taken during World War II or shortly thereafter. It is obviously Luft, at right, with his office staff.

A smart grid-base AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), which checks electricity consumption and controls the electric energy used with the demand response technique, is necessary for remotely managing the load of the energy and power consumed in order to comprise energy efficiency for electrical devices in homes. The smart controller calculates the amount of electricity consumed by customer on real time basis from the utility supplier like electric supply company. In this paper, we propose the hardware architecture and software of the smart controller for use as the platform in smart grid system to reduce energy consumption. The smart controller can be installed on the electric plug of the electric appliance. The smart controller grasps the energy amount used in the electric appliance and delivers to the AMI / EMS (Energy Management Server). In addition, we evaluated an experimental system to practically verify functions of the smart controller which is attached to the lighting device. From the system, we showed that the electric source of the illumination can be controlled according to the load change and saved energy effectively. We also confirmed the structural benefit and the energy-efficient effect through the verification of the smart controller.

It's frustrating that I cannot assign ownership of a sidebar text widget to enable a client to modify its content without enabling that client to have full admin privileges.
I have looked, unsuccessfully for a widget permissions plugin, similar to widget-logic.
An alternative solution would be a widget that would display the contents of a draft post based on it's ID#. That post wouldn't appear as a blog but it could contain the updatable contents (i.e. weekly schedule) that we want to appear on every page of the site. The person who "owns" that post could thereby effectively change the content of the sidebar.

I am way excited about the win. The only thing that bothered me was the infatuation Anae has with Tonga. He kept giving him the ball and he kept losing yards. I am shocked Diluigi didnt get more carries but Kariya was great

I said the same thing last year, what are the coaches going to do with DiLuigi? This kid has some real football savy and was great in highschool but the coaches don't seem to want to give him a real showing. Does this mean he gets moved down the list now we have Kariya? I hoppe this kid is good,but Diluigi deserves alot more than only 2 -3 carries a game and I think Diluigi deserves a better chance to strut his stuff and the coaches would find out what he can really do.

Another example of "Blue Grit":
"Everybody has to fill their roles on the team," Kariya said. "When you're called on you have to get in there and do your thing ... hopefully each of us are trained to make those plays when we're called on."

CONTRATS COUGS! What I enjoyed about the game was how many players contributed
key plays...this was the epitome of a team win...the whole defense proved
themselves, as did the offensive line.
I have to apologize to the defense. In the challenge game I predicted Oklahoma would score 21 points. Obviously, the defense was better than that.
Looking forward to the Cougs giving the BLUE FLU to that other team who wears red.

I agree with Bill. Tonga just didn't have what it takes to be running the ball. He only had 6 yards total through the game. Kariya had 118. Yet they kept running it with Tonga. Tonga is a great blocking back however. He works great when he's blocking for Max, which we needed him to do against big man McKoy and that great D-Line OU had. So great job Tonga, and Kariya, but run with Kariya and have Tonga pass block. Works better that way.

One thing that I have not liked about Max Hall- He doesn't look at the running back in the backfield for a dump off pass. That play was open several times. Most notably on that 2nd interception, the tailback was wide open in the backfield. It may have been enough to get the first down and keep the drive open, but we will never know. That play has always been used by BYU with a lot of success but Max doesn't seem to look that way when he gets in trouble.

Both are great backs and very quick, fast, awesome guys. But Kariya just played
with a lot more poise last night than DiLuigi did. I really think that both of
them will be used and get some good time, and they will both fill their roles in
helping the team, and they are both willing to do it too. Kariya is bigger and
can run the ball stronger up the gut, but DiLuigi is quicker on the edges and so
both can be used effectively. Both are faster than Unga and Tonga.
I agree that Tonga should be used where he is most effective and help with blocking. He may be a good player to give the ball to against slower MWC teams but he just didn't have the quickness to be effective enough against Oklahoma. But I'm very excited about all of the running backs and they are all very talented guys.

It's hard to believe that this guy was the 5A player of the year for Utah and he
didn't get a scholarship. What dedication to walk on to the BYU team, earn a
scholarship the hard way, and then have a game like this!
I'm wondering if BYU if offering the right players when I read that Pitta, Rich, Kariya and others weren't even on scholarship when they started playing at the Y. But Kariya was definitely the MVP. No fumbles and more than 100 yards in offensive output.

Patrick Kinahan said he was worried about depth at the RB position before the game. So was I, and when I heard Unga was not playing, I was very disappointed. But we learned Kariya is a playa. Against OU we need size and speed.. That OU D line was incredible. Tonga will get better. How long was he out - a year or more and then he has 2 weeks of practice. He played pretty well for what little time he has had with the team. Just glad Kariya was ready to answer the bell. If Unga is not 100% for Tulane, I say keep him out there too and get him ready for FL State. That game will be rockin!!!!! As far as DiLuigi, maybe he'd be better as a receiver??? Time will tell, but if you have a big back and a little back and they both have the same speed, you likely use your bigger back.

I hear people say he should be a receiver but I still disagree. We need decent speed at the RB position and he's got it. Bryan Kariya has a nice mix of size and decent speed at RB but DiLuigi is faster. The one thing he lacks is size. I still have a lot of faith in him at the RB spot, the guy had 2100 yards rushing and won the CA State Championship! WR has enough speed with Chambers and Jacobsen. As far as the speed aspect he is much more needed at RB. He doesn't need to be that big. Barry Sanders was 5'10" and he was awesome in the NFL. JJ is a similar style back.

I noted the open running backs in the flats as well, but figured I was not seeing as much from the televised viewpoint. It takes some patience to go with the short-dump passing attack at times and I hope Max will avail himself of it when the downfield receivers are so well covered.
It was an important and great win. I admit to pacing a lot during the last drive, but we have been there so many times before when BYU moves like a machine and pulls it out that it was an 'of course!' moment when Jacobson was alone with the ball in the back of the end zone.
Rise and SHOUT!

Hi there, a few days ago I stopped being able to view drafts on WordPress. Both my own articles and the other users also.
I get either a 404 not found page on the site or I get a "you don't have permission" messages from wordpress even though I have Admin status. the other users haven't reported any issues of this nature.
please help, it's kind of eating into both my and my editor's work scheduals if I can't see how things look and she has to spend time fixing it up Visually as well.
