SPOILER ALERT: Read no further unless you want to know who the winning suitor was on Monday night's season finale of "The Bachelorette."
And it all came down to this: Andi Dorfman awarded her final rose to Josh Murray, who dropped to one knee and delivered a proposal during Monday night's season finale of "The Bachelorette."
Did the former Atlanta ADA accept? Absolutely.
"Andi, you are the answer to all my prayers. You are the woman of my dreams," Murray told his would-be life partner. "You are the woman that I never thought existed in this world. All my worries just seem to vanish when I'm with you ... Your smile just brightens my day ... I know deep down in my heart I am the only man who can make you smile the way you do. ..."
Andi, wearing an elegant ivory sleeveless sheath, said, "I know that feeling from the very first time I saw you, I know that feeling right now, is love. It is. Josh, I've loved you from the moments I laid eyes on you. ... I'm madly in love with you. You're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. You're the one I want to have babies with."
Murray, 29, a pro baseball player-turned-financial adviser, had an undeniable physical chemistry with Andi, 27, from the start as she proclaimed him to be "totally my type." But she also was a skeptic for quite a while, initially considering him "cocky" and questioning whether their relationship was "too good to be true." She even admitted to pushing him away at times.
Murray, however, kept coming back and he gradually won her over. During their final date in the Dominican Republic, he presented her with her own personal baseball card that declared them a united couple already ("The Murrays"). And unlike some former couples on the show, a long-distance relationship won't be a problem as both lovebirds live in Atlanta.
Left out in the cold was runner-up Nick Viall, a 33-year-old Milwaukee-based software salesman, who had been a strong contender for Andi's heart from Day 1, when he received the First Impression rose.
Viall expressed ultra confidence going into the final round, but was blind-sided when Andi knocked on his hotel room door hours before the scheduled rose ceremony. She told him she had woke up that morning and felt that "something wasn't right."
"It's not what I envisioned. It's not right. Today isn't right," she said, pointing out that the two of them tend to "overanalyze" everything.
"Is this more about us, or someone else," he asked.
"I'm sorry," she replied., tearfully.
As she made her exit, rain poured down, as if on cue.

Forensic scientists use techniques from many areas of science to analyze evidence and to help solve crimes. At OLES, we support this important work by managing forensic science programs and directing research efforts to develop performance standards, guidelines, and reports to advance the technologies associated with the forensic science field. In addition, we support the development of innovative and validated test methods that will successfully undergo the scrutiny of our adversarial justice system. The research needed to complete these activities may take months or even years, but the final products ultimately support strengthening the scientific foundation of the forensic sciences.
Because of the diversity of forensic applications, we partner with other NIST laboratories and even other agencies to meet our goals. For example, projects relating to computer usage in crimes are based in the NIST Information Technology Laboratory. We work closely with the NIST Applied Genetics Group on DNA research and standards. We partner with other NIST groups to study bullet and toolmark standards and burn patterns. Together, we can ensure that forensic scientists have the information they need to calibrate their equipment, to draw conclusions based in solid science, and to communicate their results.
Selected Projects:
There are also a number of Scientific Working Groups that support various forensic science disciplines.

Saturday, Sept 1st @ noon, I am going to be setting up the Hiawatha disc golf course temporarily to get a look at it and see if it flows OK. I can use all the baskets I can get and will set up doubles and singles games. The city would like the course to be 18 holes but currently we only have 17 laid out. So we will be looking to add an additional hole some place. All but 4 or 5 holes have concrete tee pads and the holes will be marked with flags.
If we start around noon we should be able to get two rounds in easily. The course is simple to get to; take the Boyson Rd exit off I-380 north of Cedar Rapids. At the top of the exit turn west, go to 18th Ave (about 1 mile) and turn right (north). Go to the end of the road and turn left into the parking lot.
Mostly I am looking for input but think it would be easiest to play the short pins and then the long pins. Any questions or comments, please let me know.
Please let me know if you can bring a basket. Thanks

You can save some hard drive space after installation by deleting files in the '/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Media' folder, for example the 'Templates' and 'Cliparts' folders.
If needed, these files could be copied back from the installation package. (eg: Office Installer.mpkg/Contents/Packages/Office2011_en_word.pkg)
Heavy app. Does not utilize memory well. Just forces you to operate without it and wait to do common tasks, like open font list, which takes 10-15 seconds each time. It's sad that Adobe InDesign helps me get simple document layouts compiled faster than an office-specific app.
Complete lack of syncing with iCal really makes this a downgrade...MS still doesn't get it.

Share your comments on 7 Basketball Rules Myths below back to the article page.
My two cents. Theoretically this is all correct and I couldn't agree more that if you have refs who are "consistent from the opening tip to the final buzzer" you will have nothing to complain about either as a player or a parent or a fan or a coach. In my 10 years being involved with this sport with my two kids and my daughter now in playing in college I can say that we do not live at Walgreens. Hence nothing is perfect.
I don't want to bring up a perfect example but Baylor vs Texas Tech Girls game about three weeks ago. In the video where Barncastle throws BG to the ground the ref under the basket does not move till BG takes out her aggression. I didn't see the entire game but taking with folks from both sides it was clearly a very poorly called game in favor of Texas Tech.
I personally feel that refs should be accountable at all levels of the game. From Jr High to NBA. Refs should be appraised by both coaches and one player from each bench. This information should be placed in a data base to provide a measure of success. Poorly ranked refs should not be allowed to officiate games till they have under gone more training either about the game or sensitivity to learn objectivity.
The refs during the game between these two teams were clearly trying to do everything they could to give Texas Tech the edge.
I've got other examples but don't want to dwell on this. Assuming that we live at Walgreens only makes things look pretty. Let's do something about making officials accountable and more consistent.
I think the above user has a warped perspective of officiating in general. Now I can say that I have coached at every level from youth, high school, college and yes professionally. I have also refereed at every level except professionally as well as being an assigner and coordinator of officials.
I can say without hesitation that his idea of evaluation by both coaches and a player is totally off base and just short of crazy. Experience tells me very rarely do college and high school coaches ever complete appraisal cards when given a chance and when they do typically is is from the losing coach. The only information that a coach should be able to evaluate is the officials ability to communicate effectively with both players and coaches. If evaluation and accountability is what is wanted, then have game officials evaluated on a game by game basis by other officials. this is what happens on virtually every NCAA Div ! or NBA game. People need to realize that only at those levels do the officials act as more of a profession rather than an advocations. AT NO TIME SHOULD PLAYERS OR LOWER LEVEL COACHES BE ALLOWED TO DIRECTLY EVALUATE AND IMPACT THE officials. These individuals lack the experience and overall knowledge to fairly and accurately evaluate officials and often comment based on emotion rather than fact.
People should understand that for many officials that the high school and lower level games work because they love the game and do so to often times give back to the game. Officials need to remember that all coaches want is someone who hustles to get in position to make the calls, and are able to efectively communicate to them and their players.
Most lower level coaches and parents only see part of the play, officials must proces a large amount of information in a short amount of time. Many times an official will let a small bump go, early in a play only to have the player with the ball lose their balance and may shuffle their feet. Do you call the travel, when you past on the bump that probably caused the shuffle. NO. I know of no official that walks on the floor with the intent to miss calls, we all make mistakes, get "straightlined" or happen to be looking in the wrong direction when something happens. Is there a human element in offiating, yes,
If you want better officials make the pay better so that they can work the games as a profession provide impartial evaluators to help officials learn and grow. Until you have put on the stripes and been in the war, remember I don't tell you how to coach, or play don't tell us how to officiate.
To - drsyn , from one Official ( N.Y. ) to another : Thank You.
Here is question for anyone who can answer it for me... player is taking the ball out of bounds. The player dribbles the ball on his left side out of bounds before he passes the ball into his team. IS THIS A VIOLATION?
I ahve a couple questions myself. I have for years since I played back in the days I'll say that the hand is part of the ball when holding it thus if you hit an opponents hand that is holding the ball it is not a foul but cant find it any where in the rules.
Also if an offensive player is chasing a loose ball and as he bends over to pick it up accidently kicks the ball is it a kick ball?

Hoping to win a bigger share of big-name advertising dollars, Facebook on Monday outlined a new effort to track the influence of online advertising on consumer purchases in the offline world. But the effort has caused privacy advocates to raise an alarm.
The giant social network said it's working with a market analytics firm, Datalogix, to measure how often users see a product advertised on Facebook and then purchase that product later in a retail store. Datalogix says it uses information from customer loyalty programs and other sources to track purchases by more than 100 million households at more than 1,200 retailers in the offline, brick-and-mortar world.
With the new effort, formally unveiled at an advertising conference in New York, Facebook is hoping to set itself apart from rivals like Google (GOOG), which has built a huge business in part by showing advertisers how often people click on an ad to get information or make a purchase immediately, while they're still online.
But even though Facebook says it only compares encrypted information with Datalogix, privacy groups are criticizing the new effort and some of Facebook's other recent attempts to build its advertising business by helping marketers target Facebook users.
Those other efforts include the recently launched Facebook Exchange, which lets a company show ads to users on Facebook after the users have visited that company's website outside the social network. Facebook has also started a program that lets a company show ads to users on Facebook if the user has already provided an email address to that company.
In all three programs, Facebook says it only uses encrypted versions of users' identifying information, without sharing any actual details about individuals. But some critics worry that Facebook and its advertisers will be able to accumulate detailed profiles of individuals and their online behavior.
After word of Facebook's partnership with Datalogix surfaced in news reports, two privacy groups sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission last week. The groups urged the FTC to investigate whether the arrangement violates a 2011 legal settlement in which Facebook agreed to notify users when it shares their data and to obtain users' consent before sharing information in a way that exceeds the privacy options a user has previously selected.
Facebook's efforts to "anonymize" the user data it shares with Datalogix may not be sufficient, according to advocates at the Electronic Privacy Information Center and the Center for Digital Democracy, who sent the letter.
After the groups complained, Facebook published a blog post Sunday that described its new ad programs, while reiterating that it does not share individual user data with Datalogix or any outside companies. In a statement Monday, the company added, "we are confident that we are in compliance with our legal obligations."
Facebook said it compares lists of encrypted data, containing bits of text known as "hashes," from its own advertising system and from Datalogix. The hashes are based on identifying information, such as an email address, so an analytics program can find those cases where the same person has been shown an ad on Facebook and later made a purchase at a store.
But the encryption can't be reversed, so the hashes can't reveal an individual's actual email address or any other personal information, according to the post by Facebook privacy engineer Joey Tyson. He said Datalogix uses the results to create "aggregate reports" about groups of people who were shown certain ads.
"Advertising helps keep Facebook free," Tyson added. "We believe we can create value for the people who use our services every day by offering relevant ads that also incorporate industry-leading privacy protections."
Facebook is under pressure to expand its advertising business, after its stock price plunged amid signs the company's growth has slowed. The Datalogix program is aimed at big-name consumer brand advertisers who want to build recognition for their products, even if they don't sell online.
The information from Datalogix can help advertisers see which ads work, as well as decide when and how often to run those ads, according to Facebook.
Some advertisers have felt Facebook ads aren't as effective as ads on other websites when it comes to producing immediate "clicks," said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst with the research firm eMarketer. "So Facebook needs to have other metrics to show their ads succeed."

Re-stating his interpretation of the motion, Baenen said, "Neither party has a mandate to commit, but both have a mandate to explore, right?" The motion marks a new trend of open discussion between the Council and BPA. Two items of common interest are still-pending licensing of Kerr Dam and BPA's proposed intention of upgrading some of its transmission lines crossing the Flathead Reservation. Baenen spent the better part of the morning session of the Water and Power Committee meeting discussing Kerr Dam. He gave a brief history of the project, and mentioned a few ideas concerning the dam's future. He explained that the Montana Power Company's current temporary license will continue to be renewed each May (the anniversary date) until the Federal Energy Regulation Commission decides to let either MPC or the Tribes operate the site on a more permanent basis. He said a hearing on the subject could come within a year. (BPA is in a position to buy the power from whichever entity is granted a license.) The second topic, BPA's power transmission lines, is more controversial. The Federal agency feels it has a perpetual right-of-way for the corridor, while the Tribes maintain BPA only has a 50-year deal, 30 years of which have already passed. On a less "heated" subject, BPA representatives James Normandeau and Gordon Brandenburger told the Council that the agency has grants available to tribes for enhancing conservation efforts on reservations developing renewable resources.

Hi all,
quick question. I'm not at home so can't test this til I get back tomorrow but wondered if anyone had heard of anything similar. Recently, I've been trying to get onto the Playstation Network and getting DNS error. Now, originally, I thought it was just a glitch in the system that would pass. But it's been getting more and more prevalent over the last week. I've been checking at some of the threads online and one theory is that disbabling Media Server support might help fix this.
Now, obviously I will test this when I get back home tomorrow but just wondered if it sounds like a plausible option.
I've not used the Playstation Network for ages (don't play many games!) so can't remember if it's ever worked when the PS3 Media Server has been in effect.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - You'd think that with the election two weeks away there'd be a lot of fodder for a political column, but having written already about the IVGID and County races, I find myself seized by a curious lethargy where the other elections are concerned.
It's not that I don't think they're important. I believe that the outcome of the Presidential election will determine the future of this country for years to come. It's the state races that have me fundamentally bored to tears. Dean Heller is unimpressive to me. He's a party-line Republican for whom, as near as I can tell, an original idea would either frighten him to death or go unrecognized.
Shelley Berkley, on the other hand, has shown me equally little in terms of leadership, and while I don't believe she's as corrupt as the GOP is painting her, it's hard to imagine there's not something rotten in that particular Denmark, so I just can't get excited. Mark Amodei versus who? All in all it seems like a bunch of sleepy races.
Jim Clark covered the State and County propositions well last week, and I agree with him. If the Legislature needs to meet more often, than make it a regular annual session, not some jury-rigged special session. I have no interest in our getting involved in the spitting contest between Reno and the County over emergency services, and the business of raising vehicle registration fees is too vague to be useful. I'm going to vote "no" on all three.
That leaves the Presidential race, and no one who's read three words of just about any column I've written will be surprised to learn that I'm voting for Obama/Biden. I haven't written too much about this race because it won't be decided here. This one will be decided in two areas - the very few undecided or swing voters and that ill-conceived vehicle of elitism, the Electoral College. I don't think there are very many undecided voters in our community, and while Nevada is considered a swing state in the Electoral vote, Clark County and the rest of Washoe County will carry far more weight in that swing than we will.
Still, it's worth considering the impact this election will likely have. The far right have hijacked the Republican Party away from its historic base and Governor Romney has shown that he will bend in the direction of whatever will get him elected. We can expect then that a Romney presidency, with the ultra-right Ryan as his Tea Party Jiminy Cricket, will do its best to move the country far to the right of where it has ever been and where a majority of clear-thinking Americans want it to be.
The impact of that on everyone but the very wealthy, the proverbial 1 percent, is likely to be devastating, with the extent of devastation increasing as you go down the socio-economic scale. Re-electing President Obama will affirm that this is still a country of more-or-less equal opportunity, a country that takes care of its poor and its veterans, and that recognizes that in the modern world certain things like decent affordable health care are a right, not a privilege.
But whichever side of the argument you're on, one thing is sure - as a nation we are at loggerheads, and a slim or indecisive result won't change that. Get out and vote - our best hope lies in a clear outcome; as Lincoln said, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Whoever is elected needs a mandate and a clear commitment to bring us together; we can't give him the second but if we vote in record numbers, there's a shot at the first.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment.
Organizations such as the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), American College of Physicians, American College of Chest Physicians, American Thoracic Society, and European Respiratory Society do not recommend screening in people without any symptoms.
However, if someone is having symptoms of COPD, the doctor will use tests such as spirometry to check to see if they have COPD.

VAIL, Colorado - Lindsey Vonn left the hospital in Vail on Wednesday, two days after being admitted for intestinal pain.
Vonn's publicist Lewis Kay said it's unclear when the four-time overall World Cup champion will return to skiing.
"She is resting comfortably at home," Kay wrote in an email. "Doctors are still working to determine what specifically was the cause of her illness, but thankfully she has responded well to their treatment."
On Tuesday, Kay said Vonn was "awaiting results from diagnostic testing for severe intestinal pain," but his latest statement did not specify the reason for the hospitalization.
Her next scheduled races are the giant slalom and slalom in Aspen on Nov. 24-25, followed by speed events in Lake Louise, Alberta - her most successful stop on the circuit.
"Her spirits are high. It's crazy that one day you're healthy and the next day you're sick," teammate Julia Mancuso told The Associated Press. "I talked to her. Hopefully, she will be back soon."
Vonn's ski technician, Heinz Haemmerle, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Vonn has visited the hospital two or three times in the past week. Haemmerle said Vonn told him she "has pain all over her body and that her bones are hurting."
He declined to offer an update when contacted by the AP on Wednesday.
Haemmerle, who prepares Vonn's Head skis, said Vonn hasn't trained since going out in the second run of the season-opening giant slalom on Oct. 27 in Soelden, Austria.
Vonn recently requested to compete in a men's downhill race, only to be rejected by the International Ski Federation. She was hoping to enter the men's race Nov. 24 at Lake Louise, Alberta. Had she been allowed to compete against the men, Vonn would have missed the two women's races in Aspen.
Last weekend, Vonn skipped a slalom in Levi, Finland, which Haemmerle said was planned to allow more training for the Aspen races. It's the only women's World Cup event in the United States.

SOFT MACHINE: Middle Earth Masters
A tough one, this. First-off it has to be said that the sound, although worked on extensively, is rough -headphones may be the best option. On the other hand, this sometimes adds its own genius to the gig (notably in Robert's totally overloaded solo). And it's the voices that really suffer; the organ always sounds great, as does the bass. Drums suffer a lot in the first half of the CD and then suddenly come into the light - after this, the sound (except the voices still) is fine - and very live, very powerful - as the band was at the time, when they were a rock band doing interesting songs with extended, noisy, instrumental arrangements. This is the only live recording I know of any authority that captured the Ayers, Wyatt, Ratledge version of the band. Moreover, these concerts, in September 1967 and May '68, bridge the last days of the counterculture as alternative - it was already being tamed and made marketable - and this recording does nail, roughly, how the band sounded and what was remarkable about it at the time. Musically, there is a parade of ideas here that make today's bands seem half brain-dead, and there is some impressive playing. Unhappily, much is missing (because of the irremediable sound, according to the sleeve-notes) and thus the way the songs were linked together and the orchestration of SM concerts as a whole is lost. As a musician I am not sure how sanguine I'd be if it were an early Cow gig in this quality - but in this case, the band have all approved the release, and certainly, as a civilian - and as someone who saw the band a lot at this time, these concerts included - I recognise something here that is missing from the official record. So. For some, this will be invaluable - since it's close to something lost, and it does capture the root: that just about every band in the mid '60s was trying to extend the song form of rock, and Soft Machine was no exception. For others it may sound a mess and seem like a desperate search for more product offering scanty returns. I can't advise.

text: The ARCTIC F Pro PWM fans outperform other 80mm/92mm/120mm fans in the market. The patented PWM Sharing Technology (PST) regulates the speed up to 5 fans via BIOS. With efficient central cooling, the ARCTIC F Pro PWM fans offer excellent cooling and noise control performance for the system. CPU and VGA cards nowadays generate increasing amount of heat which leads to high case ambient temperature. Some users will use more case fans to cool down the case. However, this will produce more noise, and energy will be wasted as all fans run at full speed even after the case temperature is lowered. Using the new ARCTIC F Pro PWM fan can solve these problems without any hassles. Firstly, with PWM signal, the fan runs at necessary speed according to the CPU load. Furthermore, thanks to the innovative patented PST function, up to 5 fans (including CPU fans) can be connected to the ARCTIC F Pro PWM fan. The speed of all the fans in this PST system is now centrally controlled by a single PWM signal via BIOS. As a result, when the system load increases, all fans in the PST system will run faster to lower the case temperature. Likewise, when the load is low, fan speed will be lower at a necessary speed for sufficient cooling.

Burr oak savanna wrote:Yes season pass will $75. Still trying to figure out how to track it.
Sleepy Hollow opened a pay to play last Summer in Des Moines. They simply photocopied my driver's license and used the picture off of it to create a small card that they laminated. I had to show it each time I played - where a daily player would pay, and then we would both get the day pass tags (paper wrist bands, which they would have us attach to our disc golf bags to indicate that we had checked in that day.
I agree, if your day pass is only going to be $3, you might want to think about pricing the season pass a little more competitively. That way, when guys come up from CR, you'll collect more from them. As stated, an out of towner (which most players will be) would have to get 25 rounds in there to make it worth that price. Sleepy Hollow charged $20 for the year, which I thought was a bit cheap - but darn near everybody paid the $20, rather than paying each time, so it generated some capital pretty quickly. I think he could've done $30 and had close to the same results.
For a course like this, where it's not in a metropolitan area, a high season pass price will deter people from purchasing it. I would suggest a pricing point somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 or 3x a month at the daily rate, somewhere between $25 and $40, and I think you would sell a lot of season passes. The advantage of selling the season passes too, is that people feel more inclined to come back, as they have paid to do so. If you have other items for sale - discs, drinks, bait for fishing, etc. people are going to buy that stuff, so you want them coming back.
Just my two cents - I hope that the venture is successful. I usually drive through Shellsburg on the way to Wildcat Bluff, so I'll definately be checking you out this year.

Roger wins marathon match
Roger needed five sets and 3 1/2 hours to beat Igor Andreev and continue his quest for a fifth straight U.S. Open title: 6-7 (7), 7-6 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
"I'm really happy the way I played. I really think I served well," Roger said immediately after closing out his win. "God, the guy's a good player, so I'm really, really happy."
With his last defeat in Flushing going back to 2003, Roger now has a winning streak of 31 here. He overcame 60 unforced errors, but dominated at the net, winning 58 of a possible 84 points against Andrejew. His opponent was just 12-of-28 on his net approaches. Also, the Russian converted just 2-of-15 break point chances.
Roger won the first three games of the final set, which included a key break of serve in the second game. Andreev was successful on a drop shot, but our star returned the ball to the right corner, and the Russian's backhand went wide as Roger went up 2-0. Then came four break point saves by Roger in the seventh game, when he went ahead 5-2 before finally serving out for the match. It marked just the third time ever that he has played five sets at the U.S. Open.
Roger meets an unlikely opponent in the quarterfinals: Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. Muller upset fifth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (12-10).
Congrats, Champ!!
I knew you could do it. It took a little longer than expected but you won in straight sets (who could ask for anything more?). Keep on fighting.
Yeah mate, you used skill, resistance and psychology to beat a great opponent...straight sets!
Congrats Roger :)
Rogi BRAVO

I have been using PMS for a couple of years now, and even though it at times have been pretty buggy my experience with the software is mostly positive.
I am in no way an advanced user who is used to fiddling with settings etc, I like when things just work and can be left alone.
The issue I have I have always had with PMS, it has been the same for every version of the software for atleast four years, and because it is so random it may be hard to fix, but it might still be worth a try to ask about it.
Sometimes when watching videos, after a cuople of minutes of viewing, the video starts to speed up to double speed while the audio stays the same.
If i pause the video and press play again, the video is still on double speed, and if i try to rewind or fast forward the video goes crazy and starts to jump around in its content at random, but if i instead go in to "scene selection" and select a different scene (ex jump one minute back in time in the video) the video returns to normal and continues to play fine for a couple of minutes before it speeds up again.
I have searched the forums and FAQ about this issue, it is not mentioned in the FAQ but there are a couple of threads from 2010 that describes the same issue, but nowhere does anybody come up with a solution.
This have happened to me occasionally during the years i have used PMS and seems to occur totaly at random, not often enough for me to stop using the software, but not seldom enough for me to not be annoyed by it.
I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit PC with a core i5 processor, i have a wired connection from my PC to my PS3 that goes trough a router from Netgear, the version of PMS i'm using is 1.82.0
the files i latest had these issues with is:
While watching 50.50.2011.DVDScr.XviD-playXD.avi i tried to see if using any of the transcoding options from the folder on the PS3s XMB would help, it didn't.
On The.Fall.2007.BrRip.720.x264.YIFY.mkv i have not tried any transcoding options. The transcoding settings in PMS is the default ones that the software ships with.
Both the files have external subtitles in .srt files.
I would be very happy if anyone could help me with this issue since it is by far my biggest and most common problem with PMS.
thanks in advance!

- Sequester's on -- let the finger-pointing begin
- Feb 28:
- Sequester cuts worry Bay Area students, seniors, moms, air traffic controllers
- Feb 26:
- Oakland Tribune editorial: Must get serious in the debate over sequester
- Contra Costa Times editorial: Must get serious in the debate over sequester
- Feb 24:
- List of potential sequester cuts to California
Just when Californians are finally feeling upbeat again about where the state is heading, here comes a fresh downer: The federal sequester cuts set to kick in this week could cost California billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs while making most of our daily lives more difficult.
The state's budget may be balanced and the economy improving, but unless congressional Republicans and President Barack Obama reach a last-minute deal, the federal government on Friday will begin slashing $85 billion this year, including about 8 percent from the Pentagon and about 5 percent from most other discretionary programs.
In an effort to ramp up the pressure on Republicans to accept new revenues to reach a deal, the White House on Sunday released a detailed state-by-state list of likely cuts for the federal fiscal year, which ends in September.
Lawmakers, administration officials and experts estimate that the cuts could cost the Golden State 225,000 current and future jobs, about $670 million annually in federal grants, plus $3.3 billion in statewide military and defense revenue. The University of California is anticipating 5 percent hits to its $3.3 billion federally funded research program as well as its $1.5 billion in U.S. student aid program, on top of federal cuts enacted last year. School districts around the state would also take sucker punches.
The cuts loom as a Field Poll last week showed that for the first time in six years, more Californians than not thought the state was on the right track, as the state balanced its budget for the first time since the Great Recession began.
"We're just now turning a corner," said state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo. "This will be devastating."
U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, co-sponsor of a bill that would avert the crisis partly through a tax hike on the wealthy, agreed. "People will feel it," he said. "What you should know is that unless Congress acts to stop this crash, we're going to see serious, debilitating cuts in critical services, which will derail our economy."
A federal budget agreement could cancel or change the cuts, but the sides remain far apart on an alternative.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it may have to shut down air traffic control towers at small airports in cities such as San Carlos, Concord, Livermore and Napa. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said major airports, including SFO, could face flight delays of about 90 minutes because of worker furloughs.
Grocery stores could have less meat because of fewer inspections, Bay Area lawmakers say. And there would be fewer federal agents, such as the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, on California's streets. You'll wait longer calling 800 numbers for agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration. Fewer meals on wheels will be delivered.
The across-the-board cuts were planned in 2011 as a backstop in case politicians could not reduce the nation's long-term debt by making more selective budget decisions -- and so far they haven't. In all, the sequester would slice $1.2 trillion off the federal deficit over the next decade.
NASA Ames and other science and medical research institutions are expecting less money if the sequester cuts go through. And university and college financial-aid offices are preparing to give thousands of students some bad news.
"It's going to be severe," said Gary Falle, UC's associate vice president for federal government relations. "Parents and families are making decisions on where they'll go to school based on where student aid will be. As this uncertainty continues, it's pretty hard to make those kinds of decisions."
Local school districts would also have less cash. San Jose Unified's federal funding would be cut by 5.9 percent in the next school year, or about $900,000, said Stephen McMahon, chief business officer. The Hayward Unified School District will see its $36 million in federal aid cut by $3 million.
For many schools, federal aid mostly funds special education for learning-disabled students. Even if the federal government doesn't pay up -- currently it covers about 14 percent of the cost -- it still mandates schools to provide the services, San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools Anne Campbell noted Sunday. "That's a legal obligation they have," she said.
With years of declining and unpredictable revenues, schools are somewhat accustomed to the budget uncertainly. "This is par for the course in public education, especially lately," McMahon said.
Military bases in the region, such as the Presidio of Monterey, defense labs such as the Lawrence Livermore and Sandia national laboratories and businesses with government contracts are also bracing for reductions. Federal government employees will face furloughs; Yosemite and other popular national parks in California would have to reduce hours and pick up trash less often.
In the Bay Area, the exact cuts for most cities and many agencies are hard to calculate because they would be hit in a trickle-down fashion that may take months to materialize. The city of San Jose, for instance, still doesn't know how much money it stands to lose, a spokeswoman said last week.
The GOP says it's time to tighten the belt. But the Bay Area's representatives in the House and California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer -- Democrats all -- oppose the sequester and blame Republicans for refusing to raise taxes.
"The American people believe in more efficient government," Boxer said in Los Angeles last week, "but they don't want indiscriminate cuts that hurt our families and threaten our economy."
Staff writer Sharon Noguchi and Los Angeles News Group writer Eric Bradley contributed to this report. Contact Mike Rosenberg at 408-920-5705. Follow him at Twitter.com/rosenbergmerc.
The White House on Sunday released an updated list of the estimated hits to California this year if the sequester cuts go through:
EDUCATION -- Would lose $87.6 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting about 1,210 teacher and aide jobs at risk. About 320 fewer schools would receive funding. In addition, schools would lose $62.9 million in funds for about 760 special-education teachers and aides. About 9,600 fewer low-income college students would receive financial aid; about 3,690 fewer students would get work-study jobs. About 8,200 children would lose Head Start and Early Head Start services.
PUBLIC SAFETY -- Would lose about $1.6 million in grants that support law enforcement, courts and anti-crime programs.
MILITARY -- About 64,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed. Army base operation funding would be cut by $54 million. Air Force operation funding would be cut by $15 million. Maintenance and repair of five Navy ships in San Diego and aircraft depot maintenance in North Island could be canceled.
ENVIRONMENT -- Would lose about $12.4 million in clean water, air quality and anti-pollution programs. Would lose $1.9 million in grants for fish and wildlife protection.
JOB TRAINING -- Would lose about $3.3 million in funding for job search assistance and placement, cutting services to about 129,770.
CHILD CARE -- Up to 2,000 disadvantaged children could lose access to child care.
PUBLIC HEALTH -- About $1.1 million in funding for vaccines would be cut, resulting in 15,810 fewer children receiving them. Would lose $2.6 million in funds to help upgrade state's ability to respond to public health threats. Would lose about $12.4 million in grants to prevent and treat substance abuse. State health department would lose $2 million in funding, resulting in 49,300 fewer HIV tests.
DOMESTIC ABUSE -- Would lose up to $795,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 3,000 fewer victims getting those services.
SENIOR MEALS -- Would lose approximately $5.4 million in funds that provide meals for seniors.

The Olere drawings
7.23 David Olere was a painter, who was born in Warsaw and later moved to Paris, where he was arrested and deported to Auschwitz in March 1943. He worked in the Sonderkommando for Crematorium 3. He lived in the attic of Crematorium 3 and observed the building and related activity. After his liberation he returned to Paris where he began to draw and record his memories. He produced over fifty sketches in 1945-46.
7.24 Among the sketches Olere produced were architectural drawings of Crematorium 3 which show the basement level with the underground dressing room and the gas chamber, and the ground floor with the incineration room the ovens and the chimney. Arrows indicate the functional relationship of the rooms. They show how people were directed to the gas chamber; how bodies were moved to the corpse elevator; how they were taken to the incineration room and how coke was brought to the ovens in the incineration room.
7.25 In his drawings of Crematorium 3 and its environs Olere depicted people filing into the compound from the road and moving into the dressing room. A sketch from 1946 shows the dressing room, the benches and the hooks for clothes. Another sketch shows the Sonderkommandos collecting gold teeth and hair from the women. One of the wire mesh columns is visible in the background. Van Pelt commented that the information in these drawings is corroborated by the testimony of Tauber (see below). He also pointed out that none of the drawings could have been made on the basis of published material as there was not any available at the time.
7.26 Other sketches by Olere show Bunker 2, which was a peasant cottage converted into a gas chamber. Van Pelt noted that the undressing barrack is correctly positioned vis-à-vis the cottage. He pointed out the small window with the heavy wooden shutter through which Zyklon-B was introduced. Another sketch portrays the murder of women and children with Crematorium 5 in the background. Van Pelt claimed the representation of the crematorium to be architecturally correct save for minor inaccuracies which can be ascribed to the fact it was drawn from memory.
7.27 Van Pelt noted that Olere's sketches are corroborated by plans that the Russians found in the Central Construction Office, save that Olere depicts vertical wire mesh columns in the gas chamber (through which the Defendants allege that Zyklon-B was inserted) which are not to be found in the original architectural plans for the site. Olere's arrangement has the mesh columns attached to the west side of the first and fifth structural columns and on the east side of the third and seventh structural columns in the gas chamber.

Hello All
I stumbled across PS3 Media Server by pure chance and have to say that it seems like a fantastic tool which Im hoping will eventually take over from Windows Media Player as my Media Streaming Client and something which i will eventually use to stream media from HTPC to my Projector via PS3 (Saves on wires )
Im terms of where I am in my understanding im probably a 3/10 so please be patient and i will do my best to provide what information i can as accurately as i can.
The details of my setup:
PC: Windows 7
PS3: 60GB Classic
The reason i chose to use PSM 1.81.0 was due to having the MPlayer Web Audio Streaming Engine which i will be using for Spotify.
Now down to the issue(s).
I have been following the well known guide here -> http://streambly.com.au/guides/spotify-ps3-guide
Initially i installed the latest PSM version (2.1 i think) , however that lacked the Mplayer/Mencoder engine and was using FFMPEG (from my understanding Mencoder uses FFMPEG codecs http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5914078/ffmpeg-vs-mencoder)
So i bounced back to 1.81.0
Initially i had problems connecting to the PS3. The issue was that there were too many javaw.exe processes running so i ended them all and ran PSM again and happy days.
Now following the article i have:
Correctly configure the webconfig file and placed it in the %PROGRARMDATA%/PMS folder
Added the dsbrige ini & dll to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
Disabled VLC Audio Streaming in PMS

FLOSS Friday: Live CDs and Knoppix
I'm playing catchup with FLOSS Friday, but here's a posting I originally made on the NCSU Web Developer's Ning Site:
I've been a Linux user for 13 years. In that time, Linux has grown from being a plaything of hobbyists to becoming an enterprise-ready operating system capable of competing with the likes of AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. One way that early Linux promoters used to increase interest in Linux was to produce live CDs. A live CD is a CD that boots to an operating system that doesn't rely on any other storage to become a fully operational machine. The very first Linux distribution offered in Live CD form was Yggdrasil Linux, way back in 1992-1993. Think about using 1x CD drives on a 386dx running at 33Mhz trying to bring up a full GUI based desktop and you'll realize why those first forays into live CDs didn't take the world by storm. Fast forward ten years, to the halcyon days of 2003, when Knoppix was unleashed upon the world by Klaus Knopper [cite].
Knoppix was built from the ground up to not merely boot the operating system to a bare shell prompt, oh no. It was designed to poke and prod your hardware to do its darndest to be up, running, and fully available by the time you see a pretty graphical desktop environment. It's entertaining just to burn a CD or DVD image of the thing to watch how much stuff it finds on your machine to make use of. Hard drives are scanned and shown via icons (nothing is modified unless you do so, however), portable storage is shown, networking is started if possible, sound is auto-configured (and you know its working because the startup sound is a female voice saying "Initiating startup procedure"), and all of the things that nay-sayers whine about are simply done for you automagically. To steal a line from the Mac fans, "It Just Works".
OK, you're still not convinced, why bother with Knoppix (or any other live CD)? Why download a 700Mb iso file for CD or 2+Gb iso file for DVD to get Linux? I'm glad you asked. Here are just a few reasons:
- Privacy. Boot a CD, do anything you want, shut down, and all evidence of your actions are gone.
- With just an optical disc and a USB stick, every computer becomes "your" computer. The latest versions of Knoppix let you save preferences and files to USB to retrieve once you've booted. Viruses? What viruses?
- Rescue mode. Here's where you can be the hero of the hour. Boot Knoppix, make necessary fixes to a sick machine's hard drive, reboot, and you're gonna get some major love.
- Play mode. You've heard about Linux, but don't want your highly tweaked main operating system to be destroyed. Boot Knoppix and see what everyone is raving about. Boot some other OS other than Linux. Return to your "normal" computer with a simple Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
- Appliance mode. Besides Knoppix, there's tons of specialty live CDs that are tailored for audiences such as Tivo like video recorders, music and sound creation and editing, high end 3-d graphics, games, web publishing, and on and on. Let others do the hard work of combining operating systems, libraries, and applications. All you have to do is plop in a disc, fire up the machine, and start using.
- Test mode. Booting a live CD gives you another operating system to run diagnostic tests on hardware, whether hard drive, memory, CPU, or something else. Your hardware vendor blames the OS? Tell 'em it's time to give you an RMA on that dead whatever.
To give you an example of the power of the live CD, the Ubuntu folks decided that their install CD would actually be a live CD. That is, unlike RedHat, where you have to get a special live version, Ubuntu lets you use their single CD to boot immediately to a running OS. If you like it, you can perform an install from this running image. Reboot, and the same computing environment you were using from CD is now safely tucked onto your hard drive. How awesome is that?
For those of you who can't escape the Windows world, there is an option: live CD building tools. One famous exampe is Bart PE. Unlike the free software Linux world, you can't just download Windows live CDs (that would be what we in the tech world call "Illegal"). Rather, you download software that lets you build a live CD ISO file by using data from your own Windows install CD. I've had good luck with one called Ultimate Boot CD for Windows.
Have I used live CDs? You betcha. I've done Ubuntu installs, I've tried out other flavors of Linux, I've rescued a few Windows machines from the brink of death. In the last few months I've been using Knoppix to diagnose network configurations with blade servers my team is working with. Having a self-contained OS + complete set of diagnostic tools of all kinds makes it dead easy to figure out where things are Going South.
So, you've bought into my sales pitch, and you wanna get you some of that there live CD. Here's some resources to get you started:
Knoppix Home Page – http://www.knoppix.net/
Knoppix DVD Image Torrent – http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969/

All you need to do to enter is:
1) Read our terms and conditions.
2) Post a comment on ANY article or blog entry. We will choose the best comment made during the fortnight and the author of that comment will be this fortnight's winner.
Entries open on the 4th of September 2006 and close on the 17th of September 2006.
Thanks go to _Prentice Hall for providing these fantastic prizes._
Why are there lightsabers on the covers? Did they think if someone likes linux they must be geeks and they will like Star Wars. I happen to like Star Trek thank you.
Star Wars? No thanks....
Hmmm, actually I'm more of a Doctor Who fan - though I do like some of the Star Trek stuff. However, being a fan of the Doctor I think a picture of the TARDIS would be far better. After all, just like the TARDIS Linux is far, far bigger on the inside than it is on the outside :-)
somebody who loves Unix shells, likes to put his hands on even bash, provided he does not get a supermini access for free now...
What every serious Linux biggot requires
The two listed books "The Linux® Kernel Primer� and "Linux® Debugging and Performance Tuning�
are just what the doctor ordered for the independent self study individual, or as a quick reference to an operating system dear to his heart or livelyhood.
It will save you two years of sweat and save a few hours of downtime by being the handy reference to repairing the bug. Knowing what the kernel does will help to determine if the problem is in the application or in the operating system. The manuals are must reading, especially the debugging reference.

Moving On Up.
The Linux® Kernel Primer: A Top-Down Approach for x86 and PowerPC Architectures AND a copy of Linux® Debugging and Performance Tuning: Tips and Techniques are the prefect guides for a not so new newbie like myself who has progressed tot he point where he wants to take his linux experience beyond living with the default settings and applications found on virtually all the distributions, no matter how great they are.
It's your machine, you know how it works, you should be able to tune it to run at peak performance.

Just to make things clear...
I just want to make sure everyone is very clear on what this competition is about.
This competition is designed to encourage users to:
a) log in before commenting, and
b) post constructive, useful, informative, interesting and/or insightful comments.
Those who comment anonymously are not in the running to win. Comments that are obviously only made in order to enter the competition are not likely to win. Our previous winners have all made constructive, useful, informative, interesting and/or insightful comments.
RE: Just to make things clear . . .
Thanks much there, 'admin';
Honestly, these 'contests' are part (albeit, a SMALL part) of why I registered w/ this site.
Mainly though, I'm rather interested in learning more about programming, & I think that 'free,' as in open source, is obviously the best way to go.
After all, IF I can write code that is practical & useful enough that someone will be interested in it, as open-source, then I will have achieved another personal goal. (Hope that doesn't sound too strange!)
One suggestion though, could we perhaps have a bit more relevance in some of the articles?
Yes, the Ubuntu-based articles are great, & I'm learning from the 'free matter' economy information also, yet, I wonder: How can these principles be applied in more, shall we say, practical ways?
Just a thought mind you.
[:^) Let's keep looking up!]
Those lightsabers are 'emblematic,' which means: "Serving as a visible symbol for something abstract."
In other words they're intended to make you think in a particular way, of certain things, I.E., the material in the book!
Jon Steedley
Newbie, dying for good material
I've finally jumped in. I installed Ubuntu two weeks ago, mostly because it worked out of the box with my old Dell laptop and wireless card. After all, I need it to work well before I test the legendary Linux resiliance and try to destroy it!
If I don't win the books (odds are slightly against me here), does anyone have some recommendations? I currently have Ubuntu Hacks (by Oxer, Rankin, and Childers) and Linux for Non-Geeks (by Grant).
Thank you,
The Imagination and The Experience with the OpenSource
Well First of all I would like to comment on the cover of the Books
.. LightSabers : Represents a Cut-through in the Linux Series of Books..! And "Star warZ" because Linux is "The Futuristic Operating System", World is a galaxy of Operating Systems and Different Distro's of Linux are the Starz shining..in it.
I was about to buy Linux Kernel Today evening, but When I checked my mail..I was a bit happy..to see the contest line read.."I Badly need the Books..you can get the Book..You will get the Books.." :D
I'm too a programmer...well I started with "Turbo C++ v3.0" on windows..went to "Visual Basic"..jumped to "QT on Linux"..found that Concepts in C++ are too weak..came back to "C/C++ in Linux" on the Terminal...and still going ahead.
I've been learning Linux past 4 years...though the effort hasn't been consistant still I'm very far from where I started it :)
..My mother plays "freecell" on Windows OS, but when my computer crashed..I was on to Linux Completely..When I came back from college I saw her playing "FreeCell" on Linux..I was like.."WoW, you know Linux too /)" When I will move to Linux Completely, I'll celebrate my Independence Day.
WoW...Good But..?
Where is Thomas Hagan Comment, ..?

Wow. Lots of goodies being
Wow. Lots of goodies being given away i see! Hope I win! Looks like I'll have to re-edit all my comments for a chance! More freebies! MOre more!

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The Knights of Kentucky Christian University held the University of Pikeville to a mere 108 yards of total offense in a 22-10 win on Saturday afternoon at the W.C. Hambley Athletics Complex.
Pikeville (3-6, 1-3 in the Mid-South Conference) had 158 yards in the air but suffered through 50 yards lost on 18 carries on the ground.
For Kentucky Christian, which won with 349 yards of offense, the win improved it to 6-3 overall, insuring its first winning season in school history. The Knights are 3-1 in the Mid-South Conference East Division.
KCU dominated the game early, if not on the scoreboard. By halftime, the Knights led 14-3 yet had held the Bears to five net yards on 23 first-half plays.
Freshman quarterback Cole Cooper scored on a seven-yard keeper with 9:18 to play in the opening quarter. It ended a 45-yard drive that took a dozen plays and 5:42 off the clock. Sophomore Andrew Slikker's extra-point made it 7-0.
The Bears put up what would be their only first-half points when sophomore Grayson Quick booted a 27-yard field goal. The Bears got the ball at the seven-yard line when freshman Jakereen Smith returned a punt 47 yards to the 13-yard line, and when a penalty was tacked on, the Bears opened the drive at the seven.
KCU put up the only points of the second period. Cooper hit senior tight end Rance Hughes from seven yards to make it 14-3 with 4:45 to play. The drive began on the Pikeville 27 when sophomore safety Josh Cobb intercepted a pass.
The Knights needed only 23 seconds to score the only third-period points when sophomore linebacker Ken Reichle sacked senior quarterback Trevor Hoskins in the end zone for a safety, making it 16-3.
The teams traded fourth-quarter touchdowns. Pikeville's came on a two-yard run by backup quarterback Jared Harris, ending an 18-yard drive set up by an interception and 47-yard return by freshman J.K. Hall.
KCU finished scoring when freshman Demone Belmarez scored on a 29-yard run, finishing a 75-yard drive that took only five plays.
The Knights ran for 247 yards on 58 tries with Belmarez carrying for 112 yards. Cooper, in his first collegiate start, had 99 yards on 24 carries.
Cole was 14-of-23 in the air for 102 yards with a score and two touchdowns. He found junior Caleb Cox five times for 38 yards.
For the Bears, the leading rusher was Harris, who gained three yards on two carries. Hoskins was 10-of-29 for 158 yards. Junior Jeremy Hill caught four passes for 63 yards. The leader by yards was Shawntay Zachary, whose only catch was for 78 yards.
The standout for the day was Quick, who in addition to his kicking chores punted six times for an average of 45.3 yards. He had a long of 55 yards and buried the Knights inside the 20 twice.
Sophomore linebacker John Dudley Hilton led all tacklers with 11, nine of them solos and one for loss. Sophomore tackle Deontay Dorsey-Norton followed with eight, all solos, and one for loss.
The Bears had three interceptions on the day, with Hall, junior Demitri Travis and freshman Matt Robinson picking off passes. Junior Rory Spain, who had seven tackles, forced a fumble that was recovered by junior Taylor Woods.
KCU was led on the defensive side by Reichle, who had five tackles, 3.5 for loss and two sacks.
Pikeville finishes the season on the road, beginning next Saturday at Belhaven (Miss.) at 2:30 p.m. KCU will entertain Cumberlands at 1:30 p.m. next Saturday.

Top Free Joomla Template Optimus, Now Updated To Joomla 2.5.
The Optimus Joomla Template has been updated, given a fresh coat of glossy paint, overhauled, and completely rebuilt on the nimble, versatile, and reliable Wright Framework.
New Joomla Lessons
Today I am happy to launch our brand new 12 lesson video training course to guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a multilingual Joomla website.
While I was creating this course I realised that much of the available documentation for building multi-lingual web sites makes it seem something very complex and not for the faint hearted.
I have worked hard to remove the mystique by breaking the process down into just a few simple steps that anyone can follow.
You may have heard a lot about how easy it is to build a website with Joomla! But as with everything if you want to take full advantage of the features and ease-of-use you have to learn to do it the correct way.
One of the biggest problems that people face building their Joomla! website is that they try to apply the techniques and methods that they learned in another program to Joomla! That isn't going to work for you. Trying to fit a square peg in a in a round hole will never work. You need to learn the Joomla! way.
The Question: Which Joomla 2.5 Template do you like best?
N6, Joy, Oficina, Studio, Cube and Simpletech. Help us determine our design direction by voting for your favorite Joomla Template. Never before in our history had we ever attempted something like our 6-in-6 Challenge to release 6 Joomla Templates in as many weeks. Even though N6 was late, we still released 6 Joomla Templates in 8 weeks which is admirable. What's more, the templates we released, are all very cool. Now we need to know which one you liked best and why.
Browse all of them on our Demo Template Gallery.
The Action: Go to our Facebook Page and vote for your favorite.
Voting will be open until next Wednesday. Please feel free to share with us why you chose the template you voted for. We want to learn better why it is you like the templates you do.
The Benefit: The winning Template will be sold with a 50% discount.
N6, is not the World's First Single Scrolling Page Joomla Template*
* We apologize for the original sensationalist headline as we we've been duly informed that we were not the first. This is the best, and most reliable, though, because it's the first built on the Wright Framework.
Whew! The 6-in-6 Challenge is over, and we almost did not make it. The Single Scrolling Page quality of N6 was something very different and difficult to get right, and as you already know, we don't release something that we do not feel 100% proud of. It was also difficult to create a demo that could show you just what N6 can do for you. That is the reason for the 2 week delay, but the result is worth it.

Celebrated once every 4 years, the Joomlashack Leap Year Celebration Sale was first held on February 29, 1972 in a wild soirée of free love, rock & roll, and community. It set a "high" bar for the following Leap Year celebrations. Four years later in 1976 and in the middle of the energy crisis, we did not expect much, however, taking advantage of the US bicentennial we were able hold a wonderful red, white, and blue party, though we have since changed back the company colors to green and black.
Oficina our latest Joomla 2.5 Template
Browse through all our Joomla Templates using our Demo Template GalleryIn case you are just now tuning in, during the last last 5 weeks we have launched an unprecedented 5 Joomla 2.5 Templates. As you can appreciate by this new and elegant template, it has not been a matter of quantity over quality. Each new template release has been better than the previous one. Each has been loaded with more features as well. It is safe to say that our templates have only gotten better with each new release and this might be our best one yet.
Joomla 2.5 Templates at Joomlashack
Browse through all our Joomla Templates using our Demo Template GalleryJoomla 2.5 was released January 24th, 2012. Our team started testing Joomla 2.5 two weeks earlier and by 1pm EST on Jan 24th, our team had already updated 25+ templates and extensions to be Joomla 2.5 - compatible. Today we have over 30 Joomla 2.5 Templates in addition to several Free Joomla 2.5 Templates.
This is the kind of immediate access to upgrades and support our long-time customers have grown to count on and expect from the Joomlashack Team. Our team was able to accomplish this in part because they are awesome and in part because our templates were created using the nimble, powerful, and versatile Wright Framework.
Do you remember our blog post from January when we made a commitment to launch more Free Joomla Templates than ever? True to our word, please meet Studio a two in one Template Launch. On one hand, we have a practical, versatile and reliable Free Joomla 2.5 Template built on the Wright Framework. On the other, we have a Pro Joomla Template with lots of cool features and color themes. How do you like that?
What's the first thing you do when you decide to build a new website? Do you download and install Joomla!? Do you go to a template supplier and select your template? Or do you do something else instead?
If you do something else then I hope what you choose to do is to grab a pencil and a piece of paper and start to plan. P, P & P.

Hi guys,
First of all, I love the program. It's the only program I can use to play my MKVs using my xbox 360 that retains the quality.
My issue comes when I'm trying to play an album / song through the xbox. I've got my music folder shared in ps3 media server but when I go to Music Libary on the xbox I can see the "my music" folder but I can't access it. When I try to open the folder on the xbox I get this error code "19-04-80070032". The files are just mp3s.
I'm not really sure what to do, I've tried the latest beta and the latest official.

PARKERSBURG - Mayor Bob Newell said administrators will craft a plan showing what changes the city would make if given home rule by the state.
The plan is part of the process of applying to the state's Home Rule Pilot Program, which state legislators are expected to open up to additional cities in the near future.
Newell on Wednesday clarified some of his statements made at Tuesday's Parkersburg City Council meeting where eight council members put forth and approved a non-binding resolution authorizing city officials to move forward on the application process. During the meeting, Newell was answering questions from Councilman John Kelly who was not a sponsor and voted against the resolution. Kelly said the resolution was premature because the state Legislature had yet to approve continuing the pilot program and expanding it to include other cities. During the discussion Newell stated the resolution had been put forth by council, not him.
"Kelly was challenging me on it and I was trying to remind him they were the ones that brought it at this point," Newell said. "He needed to argue with (Councilman John) Rockhold rather than me as to why it was brought so early in the process."
Like Rockhold, Newell remains and advocate of home rule for Parkersburg.
"Oh yes, I'm still very much in favor of it," Newell said. The resolution, he said, was intended to give clear direction on whether the council was interested in pursuing home rule.
The first step would be to draft a plan for what changes the city might make while in the pilot program.
"We have to tell the committee in Charleston what exactly our plan is if in fact we become a home rule city," Newell said.
Newell said one move would be to implement a sales tax and use that revenue to lower the city's building and occupation tax, or B&O Tax.
"We would replace part of it," he said. The new revenue "will never replace it all. It would reduce it."
Newell said the B&O Tax has been a burden on local businesses for years, and reducing it would promote business within the city.
In addition to implementing a sales tax, the city also would look at better dealing with blighted and abandoned structures.
"We are looking at putting more teeth into code enforcement with dilapidated buildings and houses," he said.
Newell said home rule would not be viewed as an excuse to raise taxes, but as a way to have a more solid plan for revenue for the city.
"We don't need home rule to raise taxes," he said. "City council at any time can implement a 2 percent utility tax, which almost every city in the state has and we do not. We could also max out B&O Tax, which we have not done."
A final plan will have to be approved by council before it is sent to the state, he said. Officials also are waiting on final details from the state once the Legislature approves expansion of the program.

Notes: While it is believed that this show listing, date, and venue are correct, confirmation has not been firmly established. It is believed that this show was not at The Orange Grove (where Phish performed on 5/13/89) or Copperfield's, as is sometimes listed. This setlist is incomplete and likely incorrect as well. Home videos were shown both before and during this humorous Bike. Trey jokingly referred to TMWSIY as "The Man Who Stepped Into Dog Log." A recording of this show circulates with a very different setlist, which features David Bowie and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot as the encore and lists the following in the second set: McGrupp, Divided, Reba, Mike's Groove, Curtis Loew, Alumni, Contact, and Lizards.

This show was part of the "1989 Tour."
They sound checked Reba, which I don't think they had played officially played live yet. They were still working out the whistling parts.
This was my first Phish show and the only one I ever attended where the venue was less than half full.
