First of all, sorry for my english.
I have no problem to play video with PMS on my PS3 through Mac OS X 10.8.5.
I can watch movies with MEncoder however subtitles won't show. I tried a lot of things on my own but could not fix the problem.
I tried to use VLC wich plays the subtitles correctly however movie quality is very low, very pixellated.
I would like to play subtitle on MEncoder or know the way to get a better quality with VLC.
Thank you,

The SlapShoeFly will be playing its unique brand of "high, lonesome, rebel folk" music at the McCloud Mushroom Festival at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 26.
The band was founded in 2005 when Scott Valley musician Ariel Roumasset met West Virginia singer/songwriter Jason Conley in Nashville while they were both playing in the city's famous open mic events. The band has produced two albums, played all over northern California and built a loyal fanbase in Siskiyou County.
In 2008 the band went into a hiatus when Conley moved to Chico for several years. He moved back to Scott Valley in 2012.
In recent months the band has embraced several members of the local band Sundown Poachers, written some news songs and begun to perform again.
With new songs beginning to flow from Conley, he says a new album is inevitable in the near future.
The annual McCloud Mushroom Festival begins at 10 a.m May 25 and features mushroom vendors, wine tasting, special mushroom delicacies, cooking demonstrations, seminars and educational booths on mushroom harvesting. There will be games, prizes and live musical throughout the weekend.

Talk about an odd pairing -- Bruno Mars is calling upon the Red Hot Chili Peppers to help him throw the big halftime show for Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
I wasn't excited about the show before, and I'm even less so now. Couldn't the NFL enlist Springsteen for the cause since the game is in New Jersey? And if the Boss was busy, how about Bon Jovi?

Metallica to perform with Lang Lang -- OK, so I guess the Mars/Chili Peppers combination isn't quite as out there as Metallica with classical pianist Lang Lang. But this is one I am looking forward to -- and you should be as well. It should be wild, as well as quite satisfying artistically. It's one of the latest additions to the 56th annual Grammy Awards show, which will be telecast Jan. 26 on CBS.

Intense Love StoryA love story so intense that it will take time for you to realise what exactly happened. it will linger on in your mind for days. A love story which has a soothing effect on your senses. Ranbit Kapoor has finally displayed his acting skills. The songs are not hummable but they blend-in on screen so well that you feel like listening to them even after the movie is over.

Imtiaz ali at his bestThe film has surely taken Ranbir kapoor's career to a whole new level,the film has done similar to the career of Ranbir what kaminey did to the career of Shahid kapoor.....Imtiaz ali has done a brilliant job with the story and the screenplay and as always he saves the best song of the album for the climax.The mallish scene of Piyush Mishra was undoubtedly one of the best scene of 2011........all in all one must this movie in their personal collection

Very disappointingWatched this movie on cable with a lot of expectations, but it is totally disconnected and confusing. The story is very thin. Also nargis has been much hyped, but from an acting standpoint, she is a big disappointment. Songs are the only saving grace. An avoidable movie, oveall.

Most disappointingRockstar is sheer letdown. Slow, patchy, painfully cliched, the film is a complete disaster. Nargis Fakhri is a very mediocre wannabe Katrina Kaif and has nothing of the finesse, the elan of the original. Ranbir Kapoor with his "bad boy" attitude and adenoidal open mouth throughout the movie is not convincing at all. The movie is full of cliches and defnitely not worth watching.
Somak Mukherjee

Ranbir's acting stands out in this mediocre film.The movie was a rare failure of Imtiaz Ali, the plot was confusing and new actress Nargis was a complete failure but among these Ranbir Kapoor stood out because of his stupendous acting and award winning performance showing signs of what he could achieve in future.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (October 26, 2012)--Radio ads are an important component of a presidential candidate's media strategy and listeners are being bombarded in battleground states in much the way such political commercials swamp television.
The campaigns and allied independent groups have spent some $20.8 million on radio so far, much less than the $1 billion they are projected to pour into TV ads.
But that's still a healthy investment in boosting turnout among a campaign's most loyal supporters.
Campaigns tend to deliver tougher, more specific messages through radio than they do in television ads, which reach wider audiences.
Both presidential campaigns are advertising heavily on adult contemporary stations to reach women, the most coveted group of voters.

HAYWARD -- An annual vigil Monday at the south Hayward grocery store where Michaela Garecht was kidnapped 24 years ago took on new meaning this year as the family waits to learn whether an unearthed bone fragment belongs to the girl who was 9 years old when she disappeared.
Elizabeth Garecht, who was 3 when her sister was kidnapped, said she wished they had known the test results before the vigil.
"I have always remembered Michaela as missing. This year is different," she said, struggling to find words. "Usually we talk about holding out the hope that Michaela would be found. I'm not sure how to feel."
The 3-inch bone fragment was found with other remains in a San Joaquin County well, which is believed to hold victims of the so-called "Speed Freak Killers." The fragment, which investigators said belonged to a child between the ages of 5 and 13, has been sent to an Arizona lab for testing and then Virginia for further analysis. It could be weeks before results are known.
At Monday's vigil, Michaela's mother, Sharon Murch, and others handed out fliers titled "Still Missing" and with a passage from "Winnie the Pooh" that was more of a tribute to her daughter than a typical missing-person notice.
"As time goes by, the purpose is less to get information from the public but to keep Michaela's memory alive," Murch said.
"I've wondered if this is the last time" family and supporters gather, she said. "Regardless of the results, I'll probably do this to remember her."
Hayward police Capt. Darryl McAllister was a beat cop when the girl was taken on Nov. 19, 1988, from the parking lot of the Mission Boulevard corner grocery, where she and a friend had ridden their scooters mere blocks from her home.
"When an innocent child is snatched from a market in broad daylight with people around, that hits you," he said. "We will not let this case rest until we get it resolved. We have pursued thousands of leads over the years."
Michaela's father, Rodney Garecht, hung back at the edge of the crowd. "I'm surviving," he said quietly. "We've been through a lot." He walked up to a tree on the side of the market and added a yellow bow to the large mass of ribbons and bows that had been tied to the tree.
Monday's gathering of 50 to 75 included many longtime family friends.
Chuck Lienhard, whose ex-wife and daughters were at the Garechts' house the night before the kidnapping, described Michaela as a typical, fun-loving, young girl. "She was real friendly, real playful. I can't believe it's been 24 years."
Robbie Garecht was an infant when his sister disappeared. "It has been important for my mom to keep Michaela's memory alive," he said. "I don't think that will change."
Murch said she was not quite ready to learn the results of testing on the bone fragment.
"It's been very, very difficult to be the mother of a missing child. To find out she died would be ..." Murch trailed off. "I don't know what it would be like. It's a place I've never been.
"This is a large part of my life. I don't know what it would be like to not keep hoping. We've been living this way for 24 years."

OAKLAND -- The Warriors' coaching staff under Steve Kerr will include assistant coaches of player development Jarron Collins and Bruce Fraser.
Collins was a Stanford star alongside twin brother Jason Collins and later played 10 years in the NBA, including one season with Phoenix while Kerr was the Suns' general manager.
Fraser played with Kerr at the University of Arizona and later worked for Kerr as a Suns scout.
The Warriors also officially announced the hiring of associate head coach Alvin Gentry and assistant coaches Ron Adams and Luke Walton.
"We've assembled a terrific coaching and player development staff that will feature a solid mix of experience and youth," Kerr said in a statement. "Alvin and Ron are two highly-respected coaches who provide a wealth of NBA bench experience, which is extremely important to me as I enter my initial season. Luke and Jarron completed productive NBA careers in recent years that were highlighted by an abundance of winning, while Bruce has garnered well-rounded experience and expertise at both the NBA and collegiate levels. I'm really excited about the intangibles these gentlemen will bring to our team and I know they will serve as tremendous assets to me and our players."

This is an excerpt from reporter Scott Johnson's blog, which focuses on the effects of violence and trauma on the community. Go to www.oaklandeffect.com for updates on his reporting and www.insidebayarea.com/oakland-hotspot for updates from the Oakland Hotspot.
May 15
For Amanda Smulevitz, AC Transit bus line No. 40 is like a time machine. It takes her back nearly four decades to a past growing up in homes scattered across East Oakland, past San Antonio Park where she hung out as a teenager and past Wing's Daily Kitchen on Foothill, where she and her parents used to order food. ¿At nearly ¿every stop along the way, it reminds her of a story.
"For me it was always the 40," she said today when¿ we rode the bus together. "Back in the old days, when we used to take it up to Berkeley, we call this line the 'Forty goin' Norty.' "
The 40 runs from Eastmont Town Center to downtown, cutting right through our Hotspot zone and servicing much of East Oakland's population.
Smulevitz, 45, has seen a lot on the 40: fist fights, arguments, shootings, abuse, music, love and generosity.
There was a time when Smulevitz herself was one of the ones fighting. People used to single her out, she says, maybe because they thought she was an easy target. She wasn't. Once, when a girl sitting behind her tried to light her ponytail on fire with a lighter, Smulevitz turned around and punched her in the face.
In the early 90s, she was riding the 40 when two young men got into a loud argument. It quickly degenerated into a fist fight and then spilled outside onto the street at the corner of Foothill and High Street, where one of the men started shooting at the other.
"Everybody was ducking down; people thought they were going to get shot," she said.
She has seen more fights than she can remember -- dozens. Once she saw an angry woman hurl a stream of abuse at the bus driver and then spit on him. "I wanted to slap her for that," she said.
But she has also seen a lot that makes her happy: friends reuniting on the bus after long absences, young people helping the elderly. "I love it when I see young people doing something courteous," she said. "The guy in khakis and carrying a briefcase is just sitting there, but then the young thug stands up and helps the old lady who's having trouble; I've seen that a lot."
Smulevitz looked out the window as the 40 cruised down Foothill. She pointed out that none of the black iron wrought fences used to be here. Instead, there were houses, yards, some ugly, some lush and beautiful, where she and her friends used to play, jumping over fences if they got in trouble, running carefree through the streets. "You can't do that anymore," she said.
Around San Antonio Park, she recalled how there were two groups feuding with each other back when she was a teenager. She and her friends would meet in the park to avoid trouble. You can't do much of that anymore either. When we passed today, there was a police cruiser sitting in the park, as if waiting for trouble. We passed one of her old houses. "Oh, look, it's blue now, and there are roses," she said.
Smulevitz loves East Oakland. People generally let you be yourself. It's diverse. You can walk to Lake Merritt. People like to talk to you. As we continued along Foothill, she began reminiscing about what the crack epidemic looked like when it hit here. It was bad, she said.
"As soon as crack hit, people started selling furniture, baby diapers; they'd lose their jobs because they'd be high and just forget to go to work," she said. "And it was so quick."
She pointed outside. At the height of the crack epidemic, these streets were filled with prostitutes, junkies, dope fiends and dealers.
"We went from having two "Ho Strolls" to having people hooking right in front of your house; there was just this huge demand. You had crackheads robbing people, and there was tons and tons of it right along this route."
She remembers Felix Mitchell's funeral passing along here, too. But she has no sympathy for the man known as Felix the Cat.
"He ruined an entire neighborhood and countless lives, and he's the coolest cat around? But if that's all you know, who else are you gonna idolize?"
For all of that, Smulevitz says that most of the bus rides in her life have been nice. She enjoys people watching. She writes things to herself in her head, nurtures a latent creativity, enjoys the sights and sounds of other people's conversations.
"I like the evolution," she said. "I get nostalgic for the way things used to be -- I'd go into that Rexall and my mom would buy me a coloring book if I was good -- but change is good, too."

About the Book
"Tribal Leadership gives amazingly insightful perspective on how people interact and succeed. I learned about myself and learned lessons I will carry with me and reflect on for the rest of my life."
—John W. Fanning, Founding Chairman and CEO napster Inc.
"An unusually nuanced view of high-performance cultures."
Within each corporation are anywhere from a few to hundreds of separate tribes. In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright demonstrate how these tribes develop—and show you how to assess them and lead them to maximize productivity and growth. A business management book like no other, Tribal Leadership is an essential tool to help managers and business leaders take better control of their organizations by utilizing the unique characteristics of the tribes that exist within.
It's a fact of life: birds flock, fish school, people "tribe."
Every company, indeed every organization, is a tribe, or if it's large enough, a network of tribes—groups of 20 to 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of everyone else. Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points have not been mapped—until now. In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright show leaders how to assess their organization's tribal culture on a scale from one to five and then implement specific tools to elevate the stage to the next. The result is unprecedented success.
In a rigorous eight-year study of approximately 24,000 people in over two dozen corporations, Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright refine and define a common theme: the success of a company depends on its tribes, the strength of its tribes is determined by the tribal culture, and a thriving corporate culture can be established by an effective tribal leader. Tribal Leadership will show leaders how to employ their companies' tribes to maximize productivity and profit: the authors' research, backed up with interviews ranging from Brian France (CEO of NASCAR) to "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams, shows that over three quarters of the organizations they've studied have tribal cultures that are merely adequate, no better than the third of five tribal stages.
Leaders, managers, and organizations that fail to understand, motivate, and grow their tribes will find it impossible to succeed in an increasingly fragmented world of business. The often counterintuitive findings of Tribal Leadership will help leaders at today's major corporations, small businesses, and nonprofits learn how to take the people in their organization from adequate to outstanding, to discover the secrets that have led the highest-level tribes (like the team at Apple that designed the iPod) to remarkable heights, and to find new ways to succeed where others have failed.

Bay Area trains and buses are crowded places nowadays, as expensive gas and jam-packed freeways push more commuters onto transit in record-breaking waves. Many casual riders discovered that first hand Wednesday, when more people packed onto BART and Caltrain than in any day in history after both operators beefed up service for the World Series parade.
Riders tired of packing into crowded trains and frustrated drivers wanting public transit to make room for them may be asking: Why don't train and bus operators always run more service like that?
The "if you build it, they will come" theory, known in the transportation world as "induced demand," has proved true time and again with expanded freeways, as new lanes typically attract more drivers lured by the potential for extra room.
Unfortunately for transit lovers, it's not that simple to do the same for trains and buses, mainly because more service typically means more red ink.
"Public transit in the United States of America was not something that was started to make money," said Mary Currie, spokeswoman for the district that operates Golden Gate Transit. "And it doesn't."
Trains and buses that are packed to the brim can break even financially, and during special occasions like the Oct. 5 to 7 weekend of special events that coincided with Fleet Week, transit operators can even make a small profit.
But adding more service every day would mean an even higher taxpayer subsidy for a region that's already one of the most heavily taxed places in the country. Officials say raising fares won't work, either -- it won't pencil out unless fares double, triple or more, and then many people would stop riding.
What's more, most transit agencies simply don't have what it takes to operate beefed-up service all the time.
Consider BART, which maxed out Wednesday by running rush-hour service all day and saw its rider count surge 40 percent to 568,061, a one-day record. But to do it, BART had to use 90 percent of its 40-year-old train cars and call in more than 100 extra employees for overtime.
"A good analogy might be (this): From time to time you might be able to work a 16- or 18-hour day but you simply can't do that day after day," said BART spokesman Jim Allison. "It's not something we could do for days and weeks on end, not with the equipment we have right now."
Still, the beefed-up service and rider numbers that accompanied the San Francisco Giants parade and Halloween revelry proved that people who don't usually ride transit at least have the desire to try it. On Wednesday:
It was a coming-out party as virtually all Bay Area transit agencies continue to grow in popularity. But even the operators don't expect that to continue forever and certainly don't think they can repeat Wednesday's success without the help of special events.
"Is it a 'provide it and they will come' question?" said Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann. "We don't think so."

Zucchini Casserole To-Die-For (PMS)
If you'd like to make this casserole a complete meal, add in a cup or two of seasoned, cooked, cubed chicken breast meat.
Zucchini Casserole To Die For (Adapted from Recipezaar)
6 cups shredded zucchini ( used a combination of zucchini and yellow summer squash)
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup diced onion
4 TBSP butter
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (I used Campbell's Healthy Request)
1 cup sour cream (I used fat free sour cream)
1 (8 ounce) box of cornbread stuffing mix (you can use regular stuffing mixed if desired, but I think the cornbread really adds extra flavor to this dish)
In a large bowl combine the chicken soup and sour cream. Set aside. Spray an 8 X 8 inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the zucchini, carrot and onion and season with salt and pepper. Saute until veggies are softened, 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two. Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly.
Combine veggies with sour cream/soup mixture and add the stuffing mix. Stir well to combine all. Place stuffing in prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

This sounds like a tasty zucchini casserole! I like the use of the cornbread stuffing in it.
- June 24, 2010 at 1:00 PM
looks good but this has over 400 calories in one serving--if you consider one dish to have SIX servings. Too much!
- June 24, 2010 at 2:46 PM
- Mags said...
Sarah: I'm assuming you got that caloric count from Recipezaar. I lightened it considerably by using fat free sour cream. And I also used only half the amount of butter called for and replaced the rest with olive oil to at least make it more heart healthy. You could eliminate the butter all together and use just the olive oil for further reduction in calories. I have made it this way before and it doesn't lose too much richness. Thanks for commenting!

David brought up the boxes from the basement that hold all of our Christmas decorations. Back into the boxes they will all go until next year. Getting the lights off the tree and pushing the drying beast out the sliding glass door onto the deck where it will sit and ice over for probably a week until we dispose of it.
The needles left everywhere as well as the glitter and confetti left over from New Year's Eve, will also have me vacuuming most of the day. Normally, I vacuum my floors every other day if not every day.
With everyone home for the last week and kids dressing and undressing from playing in the snow and the holidays with all of its fallout, my floors are not good.
If you walk barefoot, sparkles, pine needles and dust bunnies begin to stick to the bottoms of your feet. If you wear socks, well ... that's not very pretty either. I have been keeping my shoes on.
De-Christmas-ing usually leads to purging and neatening up around these parts. My already cluttered house looks a bit less uncluttered once all of the decorations are gone.
There is something so nice about getting "back to normal." Even my girls were happy to wake up, eat their breakfasts and hop on the bus. Charlotte happily woke up to a visit from the tooth fairy ... (thank heavens I remembered as I was watching House Hunters much past my bedtime and sprang into action!) Even Olivia said that the break was starting to confuse her. She didn't like the schedule of no schedule. She said that the last few days she just didn't know what to do with herself and was happy to return to her predictable day.
Molly is happy too. She likes the ride to the bus stop in the morning and seeing her sisters off. She knows that when we get home Sesame Street is still on and it is time for her breakfast. She likes her bagel with cream cheese but I have begun to realize that it is only the cream cheese she likes and the bagel is just a vehicle to get it into her mouth. She starts to miss her sisters after lunch and normally asks when it is time to go get them from the bus stop. We have our own little daily grind here. I know it won't be like this forever and although some days the predictability of it bores me and the household chores make me feel like I am running in a hamster wheel, I also know I will long for it when it inevitably morphs into something else.
Nothing remains the same. It is all ever changing. Years of ornaments will go back into the dark basement joined by new additions from this season to our ever growing collection representing years gone by. Like the rings of a tree slowly moving and changing.
Daily life has such a false sense of permanence. Some days it feels like we are at a stand still going nowhere.
Yet slowly ever slowly we are most certainly moving forward.

This content cannot be played.
These are videos that worked fine a few weeks before.
Thinking maybe it was something with my version of PMS i updated it and i even just updated my CCCP thinking maybe it was a codec issue but none of those have restored playback on .mkvs for me
.avi will stream just fine but for some reason. .mp4s seem to work still too but have a longer load up then they used to.
Any idea how i can get things back up and running?

Monday March 4, 2013
Augusta, Ga--It has been a tumultuous season for the RiverHawks. The firing of a coach two months in, the losing streak to start the year, and now it continues. An ice making problem at the James Brown Arena has forced the team to move this weeks games elsewhere.
The Hawks will now play at the Augusta Sports Ice Center on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. The initial problem with the refridgeration system was found right after the home and garden show. After chiseling through the concerte near at center ice in front of the benches, the burst pipe was found. Unfortunately, it's not a quick fix like they had hoped.
"There are certain time constraints we have with the regular season ending quickly and dates obvisously jammed close together, it was impossible for us to reschedule these games and make it comforable for these guys where we're not playing four games in five nights or four games in four nights and risk an injury" said team president and head coach Mark Richards
The good news is the Hawks are use to the Augusta Sports Ice Center seeing that's where they practiced during the Futurity and when the arena was in use otherwise. Still, take out the comforts of their normal surroundings, and the playoff push just got a little tougher.
"We're going to have to make the best of limited space over there obvisously and try to make it as comfortable for those guys as we can and as well as our competitors and officials as well" said Richards "It's going to be a challenge, but we'll get it done."
As far as the fans go, there's only going to be seating for around 400 people and season ticket holders are getting first dibs. If you have any other individual game tickets, you can get a refund through the team or the James Brown Arena. Hawks take on knoxville tomorrow night at 7:30. They are hoping this will be fixed for next week.

MARIETTA - While most people wouldn't want to spend all or part of their Christmas at the hospital, some don't have a choice.
It's those people about 100 Marietta Memorial Hospital employees were on hand to serve Tuesday.
"When you go into the medical field, you know you are going to have to work a holiday like this," said Phyllis Reynolds, a medical lab technician. "You can't just send people out in the streets."
When someone is hospitalized on Christmas, it generally isn't for a minor reason, said Joanie Washburn, vice president of clinical and support services. Elective procedures aren't scheduled, and staff members are well aware most folks would rather be with loved ones.
"We try to get them home with their family," said nursing supervisor Denise Young.
For those who did remain in the hospital on Christmas, Young said she saw quite a few families coming to visit.
Inpatients at the hospital numbered about 70 Tuesday, not counting folks who came to the emergency department for everything from kids with fevers to holiday dinner-related injuries.
"Lots of times we'll see burns, a little bit more burns," said Dr. Terry Carr, attending physician for the emergency department.
"It's usually taking a big ham or a big turkey out of the oven."
Sometimes, people will come for what most would describe as a minor complaint, Carr said, but they have an ulterior motive - they live by themselves and are lonely, perhaps even depressed, this time of year. The staff takes care of them as well.
"Sometimes they might get a cookie," Carr said with a smile.
It's not like there isn't enough to go around. The staff in the emergency department tries to liven up the day with food, as well as colorful attire, said Carr, sporting a Santa hat.
"We just try to feed each other and dress up a bit more for the children," she said.
The emergency department was busy on Christmas Eve, Carr said.
Part of that was due to the late-blooming influenza virus, she said, but another factor was many doctor's offices being closed and people wanting to get issues taken care of before Christmas Day.
That's what brought Lowell resident Kenna Wagner, 27, and her 9-year-old son Logan to Memorial on Monday. Wagner said her son had strep throat and she couldn't find an urgent care facility open around 8 p.m. that day.
"That (the emergency department) was the only option, and I didn't want to wait until he was deathly ill," she said.
In spite of the numerous people she saw in the emergency waiting area, Wagner said her son was taken back in a matter of minutes and they were on their way home in about an hour with enough medication to last until pharmacies would be open today.
Although a trip to the hospital isn't on many Christmas wish lists, Wagner said it didn't alter any of their holiday plans.
"I'm afraid if we wouldn't have (gone), it probably would have," she said.
Christmas morning and afternoon were not as busy as the night before, but Carr expected that to change.
"After probably about 4 or 5 o'clock this evening ... it's going to cut loose," she said, noting some people may hold off until after family activities are completed.
In the lab, Reynolds said there were fewer employees than usual Tuesday since they were primarily handling inpatient tests. She said she and her family adjust their holiday activities when her name comes up in the rotation every three years, and they've gotten used to it.
"It's OK 'cause you know you're helping somebody," she said.
That's the kind of attitude the staff at the hospital displays on Christmas, said Washburn, who came in Tuesday to show her appreciation.
"We're 24 hours a day," Washburn said.
"We couldn't do it without the employees working today, so we really feel like we can be here in person thanking them."
Washburn traveled to nursing stations, the lab, radiology, maintenance, the emergency department - and anywhere else employees had to come in on the holiday - giving out gift cards.
It's something administrators take turns doing each year, a gesture that was noticeably appreciated by employees like Lisa Elder, who embraced Washburn in the hallway.
Also receiving a card was one individual who wasn't required to be at the hospital Tuesday and wasn't being compensated for his services. Marietta resident Scott Edgerton, 50, said he was volunteering at the front desk on the first floor as a way of paying back the hospital for helping him.
"I figure, I'm not married, I don't have any kids, and this hospital, they did such a wonderful job getting me back on track after five strokes, walking and talking," he said.
Edgerton also volunteers on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's, since his schedule is more "fluid" than some people's on those days.
"This is a time when people sometimes need just a sympathetic ear to listen to them," he said. "I've heard so many stories the last two days, I'm grateful for where I am in my recovery."

If you enjoy a few crispy strips of bacon for breakfast, get ready to pay more. Officials say the price of bacon is at an all-time high.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average price of a pound of bacon went up another six-cents in June to $6.11 a pound.
Officials say a virus, not harmful to humans, has killed more than seven-million piglets in the past year. Also, the ongoing drought out west has forced feed prices to historic highs.

Hello, I have just tried using the PS3 Media Server today and it works great, even when transcoding my video files into a compatible format for the PS3.
However, I have encountered a problem. I'm not sure whether it's just a problem with my program or whether it has also happened before.
My problem is that the PS3 can't see inside certain folders through the PS3 Media Server.
I have found that past the 7th level of folder, it cannot view/play files inside that folder, or open that folder at all.
For example, this is how far the PS3 Media Server allows me to go when browsing on the PS3:
If there are folders in "CFolder", such as a hypothetical "DFolder" I can see them, but I can't open them. I can play files in "CFolder", but because I can't get inside "DFolder" I can't play any files in it or go further. On my PS3, when I select "DFolder", nothing happens at all. It makes the click noise but sits there and does nothing. I can open all folders and play all files below this 7th level of folder.
I have also tested this. I copied a video file and put it in different levels of folders and it was able to be seen and played at all levels, except when past the "CFolder" level. I also made a folder and put some videos inside it and put this folder in different levels of folders. Once again, it was able to be seen, opened and played at all levels, except when the folder resided inside the "CFolder" level. Here, I was able to see the folder name, but was unable to use the PS3 to get inside the folder and play the files.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for any help in advance.

The Kansas Lake Lutheran Church was memorialized in a dedication ceremony Saturday, April 27, 2013.
Kansas Lake Lutheran Church was shut down and demolished three years ago in 2009. The cemetery which used to lay next to the church is still in use today. Church funds were used to create a memorial which was dedicated to the church and sits at the center of the cemetery.
There are also plans for a bell tower to be built to memorialize the church. The Kansas Lake Cemetery can be found on Highway 10, near Highway 4 traveling south from St. James.

American Crossroads Launches Ad Campaign Against N.H.'s Shaheen
Amid talk that former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown plans to form an exploratory committee for a New Hampshire Senate run, conservative group American Crossroads is launching a $650,000 ad campaign against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the Democrat who holds the seat.
The ad campaign, which will be broadcast statewide throughout next week, aims to give Mr. Brown a bump in the polls as he prepares to announce his candidacy. A Suffolk University-Boston Herald poll last week showed Mr. Brown trailing Ms. Shaheen by 13 points, and found his favorability ratings 20 percentage points lower than hers. Still, as recently as January, two polls showed the race would be neck-in-neck if Mr. Brown ran.
Ms. Shaheen, who has seen her ratings sag since she was first elected to the Senate in 2008, is considered vulnerable due to her support of the Affordable Care Act, which has brought big problems to the Granite State. Republicans have been imploring Mr. Brown to join the race, as polls show that among possible GOP contenders, he is most likely to win the seat. Republicans hope his candidacy will put New Hampshire in play, just as GOP Rep. Cory Gardner's Senate bid did in Colorado earlier this month.
Democrats groups including the Senate Majority PAC and the League of Conservation Voters have already run ads attacking Mr. Brown, and American Bridge sent out an email Friday morning highlighting gaffes from his 2012 Senate campaign in Massachusetts, which he lost to Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
American Crossroads' campaign is its second buy of the cycle. In the weeks leading up to Tuesday's special election in Florida's 13th district, the group spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an ad campaign knocking Democrat Alex Sink. Republican David Jolly won the race by a slim margin.
Mr. Brown is expected to announce his exploratory committee Friday afternoon at the Northeast Republican Leadership Conference in Nashua, N.H.

Oracle E-Business Suite is Helping to Save Lives at the National Marrow Donor Program
By Di Seghposs-Oracle on Nov 30, 2012
To improve the management of its life-saving operations, the National Marrow Donor Program recently modernized its financial and procurement operations by upgrading to Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.
As the global leader in bone marrow and umbilical cord blood transplants, the
NMDP manages a complex ecosystem of donor, patient, hospital, and biological
"Maintaining accurate data and having an efficient matching process is essential, particularly as our global database of bone marrow patients grows and donor lists expand," says Bruce Schmaltz, director of finance/controller. "We rely on the Oracle E-Business Suite to ensure our procurement and financial management processes meet the highest standards, enabling our growing non-profit to work swiftly and efficiently to help improve and save lives."
As the non-profit organization and its registry grew larger, NMDP needed a modern platform to store and integrate its financial information and complicated procurement process. It selected Oracle E-Business Suite for its ability to fit seamlessly into NMDP's enterprise architecture. NMDP initially implemented Oracle E-Business Suite release 12 by leveraging Oracle Business Accelerators, which are rapid implementation tools and templates that help reduce implementation time and costs.
With Oracle Financial Management and Oracle Procurement, NMDP has streamlined back-office processes and integrated its procure-to-pay business processes by leveraging industry leading accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger modules.
NMDP is currently rolling out Oracle Hyperion Performance Management applications and plans to implement Oracle Order Management and Oracle Advanced Pricing by the end of 2012.

Christian Friedrich Kahnt (°1823) opened his music store, publishing house and music lending library on 2 October 1851 in Leipzig. He published the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik and was publisher for Franz Liszt, before he sold his company to Wilhelm Auerbach in 1882. The company was further known as C.F. Kahnt Nachfolger under Oskar Schwalm (1886), Paul Simon (1889), and Alfred Hoffmann (1903). After having lost a significant part of the archive during World War II, Hoffmann relocated the firm to Bonn (1951) and Wasserburg am Bodensee (1958). In 1989, the firm was sold to C.F. Peters.

And as much as I enjoyed the premise, I don't see how they can execute the second film. Especially when out of the 2.5 million prawns, there was ONE who wasn't eating tires and ripping apart old appliances like a poorly trained house pet. The narrative of the prawn, to me, went untold. Give me something to work with, District 10.

I thought much of the film was boring and poorly written. it addressed race but had elements of racism itself. as a piece of social commentary it failed badly.
Invisible Robots wrote: this movie was AMAZING.
I did notice the similarities with 'the fly'. particularly the 'fingernail' thing.
but honestly... how could you sit there and just criticize this film?
I was a little skeptical of it at first.. even when It started, I was wondering how things were 'going to go'.... and then it all of a sudden got very interesting.
the score also helped a lot. For me personally.
district 9 is amazing.

the movie was 28 days later and they weren't zombies, they were people that got infected by a disease, not people rising from the dead. i haven't seen district 9 but if this is a fair comparison then i am not interested in this at all. i thought 28 days later was borng as all hell.
