No doubt the title makes it clear that, Emily and I haven't been sleeping well lately. No hidden sexual inuendo unfortunately, we actually just aren't sleeping well. I chalk it up partially to the redneck neighbors next door that haven't heard or, or outright deny the existence of, mufflers. My wife blames my yeti-like snoring. I'm not sure there is one single factor to blame, but what is certain is that I've been doing a lot of work and late night web crawling during my would-be sleep hours. It's only fair I share some of these with you all.
No doubt this one has been hit on before around here, in fact it may even be 1up where I found this information. Nevertheless...
A gentleman by the name of Bob Rost taught a class on NES game development back in 2004. Multiple attempts to find more information than what's available on his website has been fruitless but, partially due to a combination of poor information searching skills, work and gaming, and... let's face it, laziness. There's a lot of information on the site the link above points to. Including some slides from the lectures, the course sylabus, and finished products by some of his students. If you're into emulation and would like to try some legal ROMs for a change, check it out. There's neat stuff to be found on that website especially if you've ever toyed with the idea of making your own NES ROMs.
This news I find both troubling and exciting.
Sony Online Entertainment, is releasing a Free-To-Play MMO game focused around the Clone Wars cartoon, comic, toys, and movie. More information can be found here regarind the game. It looks primarily suited for younger audiences, but the feedback from adults has been overwhelming. As I mentioned, I find this news both troubling and exciting. What's troubling is that Lucasarts dared to give SOE another crack at a Star Wars franchise considering how many loyal Star Wars fans they alienated from Star Wars Galaxies with the two separate combat revamps. I've mentioned developers conferences where I've heard words "don't do what Sony did" and I'm quite surprised they were given another shot.
On the other hand, I'm really happy to see another Star Wars MMO, even more so that it's initially free. While I'm not the biggest fan of the Clone Wars series, my Boy Scouts are all big fans as it's their generation of Star Wars. So I'm looking forward to playing with them if nothing else, they're good kids.
If you're focusing on that "initially free" comment from the last paragraph you're right to. While I cannot confirm one way or the other, rumors suggest a microtransaction system to allow players to "take it to the next level" (their words not mine). I also cannot find any information on what will be available should players opt in to the paid version.
Here's the official game site.
Here's a wookieepedia entry that gives a quick run down.
I can't lie, I'll be trying it out at the very least. What can I say, when it comes to Star Wars, I'm a slut. I AM the demographic that kept JarJar Binks toys coming long after the characters novelty wore off.
Man oh man, do I love crappy games. I do, I really really do. I can't help it. There's just something about the physical embodiment of hundreds to thousands of man hours as proof that time was not only wasted, but done so at a cost, makes me smile. With that in mind, these are my most recent pickups.
Star Trek Legacy - Looks interesting, from what I gathered at time of purchase it's a space RTS? I honestly have no clue. I'm not even a very big Star Trek fan, but I figured, $4 is a good price for any 360 game. Worst case scenario, I can write about it as a "Steaming Piles" entry. It's by Bethesda so... how bad can it be? - Tex Standridge (3 hours before Murphy's Law made him commit suicide)
Double Dragon III - The Sacred Stones as it was called here in the US. I've never played it, but it's predecessors are two of my all time favorite NES games so how bad can it be?
The Adventures of Link - In my opinion, as far as Zelda games go, this is the absolute bottom of the barrel. However, I never finished it back in the day so, hopefully at some point I can find time to do so.
Bible Adventures - Yeah that's right, I bought it. (it was $.50) I'll play any game for $.50, even this garbage. If you listen to Retronauts you know all about Bible Adventures since they seem to hit on it at least once every other month. Former "Color Dreams" team turned spiritual "yeah right" and reformed as "Wisdom Tree". I hope to find all of their games soon, for now this is the only one I've been able to find and it is in spectacular condition.
Dig Dug II - I LOVE this game. Seriously, if it were a woman, I'd risk my marriage to nail her. Dig Dug 1 and 2 have captured more hours of my life than sleep has.
Teamspeak anyone?
Some friends of mine and I decided it was time we have our own Teamspeak server since the person we were piggybacking off of was gaming less and less, we wanted to make sure we had a place to chat when our mutual friend lets that server die.
So, I rented a Teamspeak server. I got a remarkable deal as well, so I currently have far more player slots than necessary. So I'm giving use of it to 1up.
Server - texas5.ventriloservers.biz
Port - 3837
JoinPass - 2old4u2trust
Any and all are welcome to use this server as they see fit. PC Gamers that want a place to chat with their friends while they play, feel free to use it.
My only requests are:
1. If I don't know, or won't recognize your username, please simply put a 1up in your name so I know who you are.
2. Don't be a douche bag. Racist, homophobic, or hateful bullshit won't stand. Cuss all ya want, scream, yell, whatever you need to do, just do so without alienating anyone else.
3. In no way am I, or will I, ever ask for money from anyone else to keep this thing running. If for some reason you are told I will be charging, make me aware of where you got this information.
4. Certain people around 1up will have admin rights so they can create channels for people when necessary. They're not going to be a police force, this isn't some private power trip, it's just a Teamspeak server. Refer to request #2.
If anyone else would like admin abilities just holler at me via private message here or talk to me on ratpr or xfire, and I'll consider it. Again, anyone and everyone is welcome with but a few glaring exceptions.
FalconX, and trminal_patience can help people get setup as well.
Da bullets:
- I'm a dick.
- I mentioned tornadoes didn't I? Apparently one touched down nearby while I was playing Red Dead. Unbeknownst to me I was offline, so when I tried to connect to a public game and couldn't, I figured something was askew and I needed to fix it. I wandered down to the basement to check my gear as my server sent a WAN outage system message. After fiddling with some things, I heard the sirens.
I've spent a great deal of time in Amarillo and Lubbock area doing the rodeo thing, so I've heard these sirens before. I've been through three tornadoes first hand, one that almost claimed me. So when I hear these sirens I don't fuck around. I take care of my business and hunker down. Apparently the state of Indiana has a different ruleset for tornadoes. If one is seen forming, they examine it closely for an hour or so, then sound the alarm. The storm passed by the time the sirens went off. Tons of people in the neighborhood were wandering around with cameras pointing and babbling about how "that was a close one". Whatever...
What actually scares me is that, the wife was out in care when it was happening. She's fine, but she was a little freaked when she got home and heard the sirens.
- Wife and I found a nice little historical train station/cafe/ice cream parlor less than 3 miles away from here. It's a geographical oddity in that, suddenly one finds oneself surrounded by trees. It feels very much like one-horse Texas towns where I've spent most of my life. Best of all? Blue Bell Ice Cream. If you're not from Texas (or at least the south) you might not know what I'm talking about, but I can assure you sir, there is no better Ice Cream on the planet. We were thrilled and look forward to taking our friends with us next time.
- So I've re-upped in World of Warcraft. Who's surprised? I tend to play hard for a couple of months and lose interest so... we'll see how long it lasts. It's nice playing with old friends again though.
- To address the many Xbox Live messages I've gotten lately, yes, I'm still alive. I have been unable to play my Xbox much if at all due to the fact that this house has no Air Conditioning. Until night before last it's been so unbearably hot that I've been scared to power on the little console shaped furnace. Hoping to be on tonight so holler at me then.
- BrokenH congrats on Community Spotlight! About time this website recognized you.
- I've got a slew of Xbox Live Dr. Pepper Premium Theme codes. First come first serve folks. Just mention in the comments if you pick one up so I know what is and isn't used.
I dont' want 'em but some of you might, help yourself!
- Congratulations Rob! Emily and I are excited for the family. Hope Gabe makes the adjustment with little to no troubles.
- That'll do pig, that'll do.

300 RUM reloading

I know remington has the power level ammunition out but is there information out to duplicate these loads?

Currently, NO........
I'm reloading for my .300RUM. I've got "other" rifles, so I'm not really inclined to go in that direction.
I'd try "H" or IMR 4895. Start with the recommended max charge for the .30/06 as a starting load. You'll really need a chronograph to determine when you reach what you are looking for.
For reduced recoil loads, I'd try the Nosler 125gr Ballistic Tip. This bullet will stand up to the velocity, but will give excellent accuracy too....
Or, for $ savings, try the Remington 125gr Soft points. About 1/2 the price of the Noslers.
My choice of a "reduced" recoil load in my .300RUM is the 150gr Corlokt loaded to about 3,450fps.......... over 110gr of WC-860. It "DOES" kick less than the 180gr loads over 107gr of WC-860 @ 3,300fps......... But accuracy is decent and POI is very close the the 180gr load........... Varmint shooting anyone ?!!!!!!!
Shoots about like my .22-250 w/55gr loads.......... only a "tad" more recoil though.............(like about 10x).

The Girls RISE Museum Network (http://girlsrisenet.org/ works to strengthen the professional capacity of informal science educators to engage and motivate minority girls to explore and pursue science and engineering careers. On May 6-7, teams from the California Academy of Sciences, COSI, Explora, Miami Science Museum, NYSCI, OMSI, Saint Louis Science Center, and Sci-Port met at the Miami Science Museum to explore using virtual world technologies in this endeavor.
Virtual worlds provide an immersive environment where users create a digital character, or 'avatar', and navigate through a virtual world, while interacting with real people from around the world. This platform is used by many institutions, such as colleges, universities, museums, libraries and government entities. The Miami Science Museum is exploring strategies to use this unique technology to spark excitement about science and lead young people to think of themselves as someone who is informed about science as well as can make a contribution to science.
Teams participated in an event for high school students in which student and RISEnet avatars met in an "in world" space for a presentation on "Solar Variability and its Impact on Climate Change" by Dr. Joanna Haigh, Physics Dept. Chair, Imperial College, London. Participants then interacted in the real world with the students to learn from them about their experiences with virtual worlds.

Unless you really want your email to go through google, you can send

It will appear with "..@gmail.xx" in the "from" field.

Yes, for the above trick it's required.

As implied, there's some good to come from Indy's week 16 injury report – just not a lot.
The Good: Andrew Luck is probable (like usual), and Freeney and Freeman are probable and practicing. Other probables: Teddy Williams (a recently promoted practice squad CB) and Martin Tevaseu. Also, Joe Lefeged looks set to go. The last point wouldn't be as important, were Tom Zbikowski available Sunday …
The Bad: … but he's not. Announced OUT so far includes the Colt safety, as well as Delone Carter, Kavell Conner, and Samson Satele. Carter is a big loss (given the joke Arians has running behind Ballard), but the Colts shouldn't need to worry this week. Worse news: Winston Justice is questionable and is participating in 'limited practice' according to NFL.com; Luck really benefits from the veteran tackle when he's in the lineup.
The Ugly: Satele's out for sure; worse, his backup, A.Q. Shipley, has not participated in practice and is listed as questionable. Satele's been good this year, Shipley's been a decent backup, but they don't really have a third center. Who does? If Shipley can't play this week, the Colts may have … Seth Olsen? Tony Hills? Bruce Arians? The list wasn't long to begin with.
Anyway, of all the teams to be playing this week, Kansas City should provide the least competition (I know, I know, they DID beat Carolina), but Satele needs to heal up soon – preferably by the time the playoffs start.

Life's a Beach
this wiki
- "Yeah? Well, fuck this gig, man. I'm putting together a listening party for my album, but first I need a sound system..."
- — OG Loc
Life's a Beach is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by fellow Grove Street Families member and aspiring rapper OG Loc, from the Burger Shot he works for in the Marina district of Los Santos, San Andreas.
- Note: This mission can only be started between 22:00 and 6:00.
Carl recently assisted OG Loc by taking out a Vagos gang member who abused him in prison. Now in a technical job at a Burger Shot, Loc is planning a house party for his album release, but he requires a sound system to amplify his tunes. A beach party is occurring at the nearby Santa Maria Beach, and it so happens that they have in their possession a sound system in the back of a Pony van.
Carl goes to the party, meeting up with the DJ, and attempts to gain access to the sound system. He is challenged to a dance battle, scoring a minimum of 2500 points to pass. Once Carl has successfully passed the challenge, the DJ invites Carl into her van, which she refers to as her "office". Given the opportunity, Carl steals the van, throwing the DJ out and prompting two party-goers to pursue the van in their cars. In the ensuing chaos, Carl manages to take the van to a garage in Commerce, completing the mission.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the beach party.
- Get a score of 2500 or greater to gain access to the sound van.
- Steal the sound van.
- Get the van back to the garage.
- To avoid the car chase, dump the cars in the water by pushing them. However, make sure not to pass on the red spot near the DJ or kill the DJ and any partygoers.
- In the iOS version the timing can be trickier than it is on the console versions. The game registers the input of the direction based on when you release the button, not when you press it. One method is to be holding the next upcoming direction in advance and then let go just as that direction enters the space in the middle.
- Third party controllers for iOS devices will not work for this mission as none of the buttons are assigned to the directions in the minigame and you're on screen buttons disappear when connected to said, controller.
- There is a way to steal the van without talking with the DJ or dancing. Hire a member to your gang. When you reach the party, try to open the van's door. You won't be able to do it, but your gang member will. When he enters the van, shoot him in the head. He will die and open the door, allowing you to steal and take the van to the garage.
The reward for completing this mission is an increase in respect. The mission Madd Dogg's Rhymes is unlocked.
Although it is stated in walkthroughs for the game that the Dancing Minigame inside nightclubs is unlocked after completing this mission, it is in fact unlocked from the beginning of the game if Carl enters the Alhambra club.
Video walkthroughs
|PC Version
|IPad Version
- The mission's name is a reference to the saying "Life's a bitch."
- The song playing during Carl's dance is "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool & the Gang, which can also be heard on Bounce FM.
- The song "Pretend We're Dead" by L7 always plays at the party when not doing the dance activity. This song can also be heard on Radio X.
- Deleted dialogue reveals the garage used to store the sound van is owned by LB.
- This is one of the four missions that cannot be completed if the player has used an excessive amount of cheats. The other three are Burning Desire, Photo Opportunity, and Madd Dogg.
- Most of the dancers are carrying MP5s. If the player fails the mission, the dancers will drop their weapons if they are killed.
- There is a cheat code with the same name of the mission.
- During the cutscene, Loc says that the sound van is heading to Seville's beach. However, the party is occurring in Santa Maria Beach.

It's time to put the hype to the ultimate test. Or, at least, the first test of many.
The Seahawks open the season today on the road against the Carolina Panthers. These two teams are young, hungry, and talented, making the matchup extremely intriguing for the first game of a season coming with huge expectations. Last year, the Seahawks came into Carolina with – dare I say it – questionable play from the young quarterback, Russell Wilson, and managed to escape with a close 16-12 win.
The Panthers put up a good fight, limiting big plays from the Seahawks' offense, but Cam Newton had a horrendous time making anything happen against this secondary. Fast forward 10 months, and the rematch occurs in the same stadium, but with both teams older – and wiser.
Will the Seahawks' Legion of Boom defense hold true to form and make life a living hell for Cam Newton? Can Beast Mode break through the formidable Carolina front seven? Will Russell Wilson begin to silence the inexplicable predictions of a sophomore slump? There are many questions, but here are some key matchups to watch for some answers.
Legion of Boom vs. Cam Newton. Last year, the Seahawks' secondary forced Cam Newton into silly mistakes and errant throws. He went 12/29 for 141 yards and took four sacks. The camera famously panned to Newton literally throwing in the towel (over his head) at the end of the game, which was a testament to how badly the Seattle defense buried him. Get inside Cam's head, and the road to victory is that much closer.
Beast Mode vs. Carolina run defense. Marshawn Lynch only ran for 85 yards on 21 carries with no touchdowns on this D last year. There's no question the Carolina front seven is stout, with a line featuring Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson, not to mention two tackle-machines at linebacker with Jon Beason and Luke Kuechly. But Lynch rushed for a career-high 1,590 yards last year, and had 10 times when he rushed for 100 yards or more in one game. Carolina was the exception, not the rule, and don't think for a minute Lynch doesn't remember that. He'll be ready.
Zach Miller vs. Luke Kuechly. Miller showed his versatility in the pass-catching game in the playoffs last year, lighting up both Washington and Atlanta on the road. Now that Darrell Bevell has nailed a way to use the "move" tight end in more formations, look for some added creativity in two-TE sets, featuring Miller and promising rookie Luke Willson. How well Miller does today relies heavily on if he can beat ace LB Luke Kuechly in man coverage.
Seattle vs. Carolina weather. As is the case at the beginning of every season, summer is barely starting to fade away, and that means weather that's going to be hotter than hell in most parts of the country. In Charlotte, NC, it's supposed to top out at 91 degrees today, with the hottest part of the day coming in what will likely be the fourth quarter. It's been a really warm summer in Seattle, so let's hope the team is already accustomed to sweating it out in the heat.
Russell Wilson vs. Captain Munnerlyn. Russell Wilson threw his only pick-six of the season last year to Panthers CB Captain Munnerlyn. It was arguably Russell's only "rookie mistake" of 2012, but it also ended up being the only touchdown Carolina would score that day. I don't have to tell you how far Wilson's come since then, so don't expect history to repeat itself there. Still, Munnerlyn picked off Wilson once, and he'll be looking for another shot all day.
It's getting closer to game time, friends, and Week 1 is a perennial crapshoot for everyone. It's the best time of year for football, and the Seahawks have never looked better. Buckle up, because it's about to get real.

Thursday, April 18, 2013
As of Thursday morning Summerville Police had arrested two suspects connected with separate pharmacy robberies that both occurred Tuesday.
The robberies are not connected, according to a statement released by Summerville Police Department.
Joel Morgan, 31, of Summerville was arrested in connection to the 301 North Main St. CVS Pharmacy armed robbery. Morgan is charged with robbery while armed with a deadly weapon and possession of weapon during a violent crime, according to SPD Capt. Jon Rogers.
Michael Chester, 20, of Moncks Corner was arrested in connection to the 1120 North Main St. Walgreens robbery. Chester is charged with strong-armed robbery.
Both subjects were expected to receive a bond hearing Thursday afternoon at the Summerville Municipal Court.
A white male with brown hair robbed the CVS Pharmacy at 301 N. Main St. at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The suspect approached the pharmacist with a handkerchief over his face and presented a kitchen knife while demanding Oxycontin, according to the Summerville Police Department incident report.
The suspect exclaimed: "Now! Hurry!" The pharmacist turned over five bottles of Oxycontin by setting them on the counter. The suspect took the pill bottles and placed them in the handkerchief, fled down aisle 9 and exited the store, according to the report.
The shift supervisor told officers she didn't realize a robbery took place until after police arrived. Surveillance video shows the suspect rob the pharmacist, exit the building, get on a bicycle and ride east toward East 2nd North Street.
A man walked into Walgreens Tuesday at about 6:20 p.m., went to the pharmacy and said he was robbing them of two types of prescription drugs.
The pharmacy technician told the pharmacy manager they were being robbed. The pharmacy manager handed over the bottles as the suspect apologized and exited the store.
When the suspect first entered the store, he went to the restroom then walked to the pharmacy counter. The suspect told the pharmacist technician, "I'm sorry to have to do this to you but you have two minutes to give me Opana and Oxycodone."
The pharmacy technician said while speaking to the pharmacy manager the suspect was counting down the two minutes aloud. The manager grabbed an open bottle of 5mg Opana (10 tablets) and open bottles of Oxycodone – one 30mg (27 tablets) and another 20mg (27 tablets), according to the report.
The manager gave the bottles to the suspect when he was at the 30-second mark in the countdown. The manager told police the suspect kept his left hand in his pocket as though he was holding a weapon.
The suspect told the manager he was "really sorry" before leaving the building, according to the report.
An employee of a nearby pizza restaurant told police she saw a male matching the description walking with a brown paper bag in hand from the backside of Walgreens on Bear Island Road toward Sheep Island Road, according to the report.

Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach raises $125,000 by just 'horsin' around'; $50,000 of that for kids' programs
reported here first / exclusive video
VolusiaNews.net and NSBNews.net provide Volusia County with 24 / 7 Internet newspaper coverage for a 21st-century world.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Arts lovers Tod and Amanda Chismark of Port Orange had no problem plunking down a grand on artwork at the Atlantic Center for the Arts' annual "Horsin' Around" on Sunday.
"The art was a steal," the husband said. After $125 for the entry fee, Chismark and his wife competed in a series of silent auctions for all kinds of artwork, ranging from $40 to $5,000.
In all, the nearly 500 people in attendance collerctively spent $125,000. And that was music to ACA Co-Director Nancy Lowden Norman, who said $50,000 of that ill go to children's programs.
This important fundraiser raises 15% of Atlantic Center's operating budget, allowing for arts-related programming to underserved youth, writing residencies for teens, opportunities for working artists to create new work through the center's acclaimed residency programs, and educational lectures and performances for the greater Central Florida community, serving 50,000 yearly.
Norman and Jim Frost, another organizer of the event, said they were especially thrilled with the money rasised for aspiring child artists.
"It's just amazing," Norman said of the funding, especially in this entrenched recession. The outer grounds of the New Smyrna Beach Airport became a makeshift galleria with arts lovers from across Central Florida putting in their bids for pottery, paintings, wood carvings and other works of art.
Asked if $1,000 might be excessive," Tod Chismark said, ""We love the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Anything like this that helps children is worth it."

KUMBA Iron Ore is proposing supplying iron ore to a government organisation at below market prices and is willing to help set up of a 5-million ton-a-year slab steel plant on the coast.
These proposals are included in a document submitted by Kumba's parent, Anglo American, to the African National Congress (ANC), which is debating a new policy for SA's mineral sector.
Anglo's document, which in large part rebuts proposals in the ANC-sponsored study called the state intervention in the mineral sector (Sims) report, also makes proposals for its platinum and thermal coal businesses in SA.
Anglo has warned that the Sims report, if implemented, could damage SA's mining sector and constrain growth in an industry the ANC wants to use to form the base for industrialisation and job creation.
Kumba, which is 65%-owned by Anglo, is willing to supply 6,25-million tons of iron ore to the domestic market at the all-in cost to mine the steel feedstock as well as a 20% contract mining fee, which would still leave the price well below the market price.
The condition is that Kumba has 100% ownership of the Sishen mine. Currently, there is a dispute over a 21,4% stake in the mine that is before the courts.
ArcelorMittal SA used to own the stake but it did not apply for a new order mining right over it. It reverted to the state and another company, Imperial Crown Trading, was granted a prospecting right over the stake.
A court ruling recently said a mining right could not be divided. Imperial and the Department of Mineral Resources have appealed against the decision.
When ArcelorMittal forfeited the stake, Kumba cancelled a cost-plus-3% supply arrangement with SA's largest steel maker for 6,25-million tons a year. The matter is in arbitration. Kumba said its supply of cheap ore to the state was conditional on an arbitration decision going its way.
"Kumba's role will be limited to supplying this quantity to a government-organised initiative, which will have allocation responsibility to a developmental steel mill. This is designed with a view to preventing the favouring of any single steel producer, while ensuring that the value is transferred for developmental ends," Anglo American said.
The government has long been critical of ArcelorMittal, arguing that its favourable iron ore agreement had not led to cheaper steel in SA. The state has identified iron ore, coal, platinum and a host of other minerals as strategic, as it seeks to secure cheap commodities to encourage an industrial and manufacturing economy.
Anglo said the government's desire to have another steel mill would best be served by setting up an export-orientated mill on the coast with capacity for 5-million tons of slab steel a year, with the critical proviso that the mill secured a long-term buyer in Asia for the product to ensure the plant could survive the steel cycle. "This would require significant government support in the form of requisite infrastructure and concessionary finance," Anglo said.
Kumba wants to explore new technologies to handle fine iron ore, which is put on waste dumps, and cheaper thermal coal instead of expensive coking coal, which is largely imported.

Archbishopric of Ohrid
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Archbishopric of Ohrid was an autonomous Orthodox Church under the tutelage of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople between 1019 and 1767. It was established following the Byzantine conquest of the First Bulgarian Empire in 1018 by lowering the rank of the autocephalous Bulgarian Patriarchate due to its subjugation to Constantinople.
Circumstances leading to establishment[edit]
In 972, Byzantine Emperor John I Tzimisces conquered and burned down Preslav, capturing the Bulgarian Tsar Boris II. The Patriarch Damyan managed to escape, initially to Sredets. In the coming years, the residence of the Bulgarian patriarchs remained closely connected to the developments in the war between the next Bulgarian monarchist dynasty, the Comitopuli, and the Byzantine Empire. Thus, the next Patriarch German resided consecutively in Moglen, Voden and Prespa. Around 990, the last patriarch, Philip, moved to Ohrid, which also became the permanent seat of the Patriarchate.
The Archbishopric of Ohrid was a Byzantine resurrection of the Archbishopric of Justiniana Prima. After 1018 it was the church of the Byzantine Slavs; Bulgarians and Serbs.[1] The Archibishopric was seated in Ohrid, in the Byzantine theme of Bulgaria, and was established in 1019 by lowering the rank of the previously autocephalous Bulgarian Patriarchate and its subjugation to the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Although the first appointed archbishop (John of Debar) was a Bulgarian, his successors, as well as the whole higher clergy, were invariably Greeks, the most famous of them being Saint Theophylact of Bulgaria (1078–1107).[1] The Archbishops were chosen from among the monks in Constantinople. Adrian Komnenos, under his monastic name of John, (1143–1160) was the cousin of Emperor John II Komnenos, and was the first Archbishop who held the title of Archbishop of Justniana Prima. The later archbishop John V Kamateros (1183–1216) was a former imperial clerk.
In the 13th and the first half of the 14th centuries, the territory of the Archbishopric was contested by the Byzantine Empire, the Latin Empire, the Despotate of Epirus, the Second Bulgarian Empire and later Serbia. After the fall of Constantinople to the Latins in 1204 and with the foundation of the new states on the territory under jurisdiction of the Ohrid Archbishopric, autonomous churches were founded in the states which did not accept the jurisdiction either of Constantinople or of Ohrid. After 1204, the Empire of Nicaea claimed the Byzantine imperial heritage and provided the refuge of the Greek patriarchs of Constantinople in exile. In the newly founded Second Bulgarian Empire, a new Archbishopric was founded with its see in Tarnovo. Tsar Kaloyan (1197–1207) did not succeed in putting the Ohrid Archbishopric under the jurisdiction of the Tarnovo Archbishopric. Nevertheless, he managed to expel Greek bishops and install Bulgarians instead. The next Bulgarian rulers were constantly trying to make the Ohrid Archbishopric inferior to the Tarnovo Archbishopric. The Latin conquests and the founding of independent Bulgarian and the Serbian states reduced the jurisdiction of the Ohrid Archbishopric immensely, but it did not disappear. During the time of Archbishop Demetrios Chomatenos, the autocephaly of the Archbishopric was confirmed with the act of anointing the despot of Epirus, Theodore Komnenos Doukas, as Emperor and in a correspondence with the Patriarch.
The southward expansion of the Serbian state reached its apogee at the time of tsar Stefan Dushan (1331–1355). The year when Stephan Dushan occupied Ohrid was around 1334. In 1368, the Lord of Serres, Jovan Uglješa, de jure re-established the Archbishopric for the independence of his realm. In 1371 the Ecumenical Patriarchate once again gained jurisdiction of the southern eparchies. In 1376 however the Archbishopric became again linked to the Serbian Patriarchate, during the rule of Lazar of Serbia.[1] After the fall of the Bulgarian Patriarchate in 1394, some of the dioceses under its jurisdiction entered the Ohrid Archbishopric. Thus, in the beginning of the 15th century, the Archbishop of Ohrid, attached the dioceses of Sofia and Vidin to the Archbishopric. In 1408, Ohrid was under Turkish rule. Still, the Turks did not reach after the Ohrid Archbishopric, mostly because of their tolerance for monotheistic religions and left the people to govern themselves regarding religion.
When the last medieval Serbian Patriarch died in 1463, there were no technical options to elect a new one, so the Ohrid Archbishopric had laid its claim over many of the Serbian Patriarchate's eparchies on the basis of its old 1019 territorial rights, predating the 1219 autocephaly. By the 1520s, the Archbishopric of Ohrid had managed to put practically the entire Serbian Church under its jurisdiction, however by intervention of Mehmed-paša Sokolović in 1557, the latter was renewed and reorganized. During the 15th century, dioceses from the other side of the Danube, from the Dukedoms of Wallachia and Moldova, fell under the jurisdiction of the Archbishopric. Nevertheless, this did not last for more than a hundred years. Towards the beginning of the 16th century, the Ohrid Archbishopric expanded its jurisdiction even over territories in Southern Italy, as well as in Dalmatia. The flock of this diocese was made of Greeks and Albanians. Towards the middle of the 16th century, the Ohrid Archbishopric lost the Diocese of Veroia, however, at the beginning of the 17th century, it gained the Diocese of Durazzo from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Since then and until its abolishment in 1767, the Archbishopric neither lost nor gained a diocese under its jurisdiction.
The autocephaly of the Ohrid Archbishopric remained respected during the periods of Byzantine, Bulgarian, Serbian and Ottoman rule and the church continued to exist until its abolition in 1767, when it was abolished by the Sultan's decree, at the urging of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, and was placed under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople.[2] The division into phanariotes and autochthonists which occurred among the diocesan bishops of the Ohrid Archbishopric and, the difficult financial position of the Ohrid Archbishopric over a longer period of time, contributed to its abolishment. Just a year before, the Patriarchate of Constantinople abolished the Serbian Patriarchate in the same manner, and its dioceses adjoined to the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
The Greek language quite early replaced Old Church Slavonic as the official language of the Archbishopric. All documents and even hagiographies of Bulgarian saints, for example the hagiography of Saint Clement of Ohrid, were written in Greek. Despite this, the Slavonic liturgy was preserved on the lower levels of the Church for several centuries.
The Archbishopric was under the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
The following bishoprics (diocese) are mentioned in 1019:
- Eparchy of Ohrid, eparchy of the archbishop
- Eparchy of Skopje
- Eparchy of Kastoria
- Eparchy of Strumica

- Eparchy of Braničevo, formed by 878 (as of 13th century part of SOC)
- Eparchy of Belgrade, formed by 878 (as of 13th century part of SOC)
- Eparchy of Syrmia, formed by 300
- Eparchy of Vidin,
- Eparchy of Sredets,
- Eparchy of Drastar, including the Theme of Paristrion (Moesia Inferior)
- Eparchy of Servia, formed in 5th century (as of 1882 part of Ecumenical Patriarchate)

An estimated 50 to 100 gallons of an antifreeze-type substance called Glycol leaked from six large containers that were punctured sometime overnight Monday outside Bowman Field, according to city police.
The 27 square-foot containers belong to the North Carolina-based company, Rink Specialists, which has the contract to install and dismantle the ice rink, called Airmen Pond, where the Williamsport Outlaws, the city's first professional hockey team, will play their home games.
Despite the vandalism, the firm still will have the field ready for use when open public skating begins Tuesday, Rich Cubin, a vice president for Rink Specialists, assured a reporter at Bowman Field on Tuesday afternoon.
The Outlaws season home opener is scheduled Oct. 24 against the Dayton Demonz of Dayton, Ohio.
Police are trying to determine who was responsible for the vandalism, which will cost the company under $2,000, Cubin said.
"It looked like someone used a screwdriver or an ice pick to puncture holes in the containers," Cubin said.
The containers can each hold up to 300 gallons of Glycol, a substance that the company pumps through tubing to freeze the 85 by 200-foot field, Cubin explained. However, he believes no more than 100 gallons of the fluid leaked out before the vandalism was discovered and measures quickly were taken to seal the leaks with duct tape, he added.
The damaged containers, along with six other containers of Glycol, were on a paved access road on the west side of Bowman Field, which is located in the 1700 block of West Fourth Street.
Cubin said he believed the leaked Glycol caused very little, if any, environmental damage, however a representative of the state Department of Environmental Protection paid a visit to the field late Tuesday afternoon.
Within hours after the vandalism, additional containers of Glycol were delivered to the field to replace the damaged ones, Cubin said. An estimated 3,000 gallons of glycol is needed to freeze the outdoor rink, he said.
Police Chief Gregory Foresman said investigators did not know the motive behind the vandalism.
"We know there is a lot of animosity from some individuals who do not care about the Outlaws. There are a number of people who aren't happy with them playing at the field. At the same time, this could be a random senseless act. We can't rule out that someone may have caused this damage for no apparent reason," Foresman said.
Anyone with any information about the vandalism is asked to call city police, Foresman said.

I have a home network setup with a router. The router is set on 192.168.0.1,
and all subsequent computers connected to it automatically get assigned IPs
of 0.2, 0.3, etc...
I recently got a laptop, and I have no ports left on the router. So I
thought I could just connect my laptop to my PC via an old USB network
adapter, and share the internet connection.
I can network the Laptop and PC, and I can share files etc. But no internet.
When I try to share the internet connection on my PC, windows says that I
cant have anything on 192.168.0.1 and that I have to unassign this IP so it
can use it for sharing.
I dont want to do this. The router I have is very sensitive and bitchy and I
dont want to change my settings.
Is there an easier way to change my internet connection settings and still
share my internet?
Thanks for any help!

The eurozone's crisis has shifted focus away from the U.S.'s enormous debt load and has lifted...
The eurozone's crisis has shifted focus away from the U.S.'s enormous debt load and has lifted foreign demand for Treasurys. Once global factors cede the spotlight, and eventually they will, and as the Fed starts to remove itself as a buyer, Treasurys may be poised for some pain.
Comments (22)
You think the debt load is "enormous" today, just wait for 5 years when it will be 30 - 40% higher. I guess then it will be "gigandonormous". And let's see say we have an incremental increase in interest rates of 2% on an additional $6 trillion in debt, then we'll have higher interest expense on debt of $120 billion, which will be the equivalent of nearly 3/4 of 1% of GDP - just the incremental interest on the incremental debt. Total debt at $21 Trillion will yield $420 billion in incremental interest or fully 2.6% of GDP and roughly 16 or 17% of REVENUES. Sounds sustainable to me.
US debt load can literally go up forever. Even at 100% of GDP, that's only half of what Japan carries, and they pay even LOWER interest rates than we do. As long as there is no inflation (which therer won't be unless we have job growth.. something we haven't had in decades), they can literally borrow ANY amount they want, and print money to pay it back. It is literally a free lunch.
Never mind.
Not at all. Show me where I'm wrong. Are my figures incorrect? Is it not true that Japan has 200% debt to GDP, compared to 100% debt to GDP in the US, and Japan's economy is weaker than the US economy? Finally, is it inaccurate to say that Japan pays the lowest interest rates of anyone in the world? If all of those are true, how would you explain it? Clearly a nation can carry a MUCH higher debt to GDP than the US does, and can do it for long periods of time (decades or more), AS long as they are willing to print money (as Japan has) to support the economy.
Where you are wrong is in the high % of Japanese debt is internally funded and the US is mostly externally funded.
Sure, we have the reserve currency status and the great potential of legal immigration. A proper executive branch might chart a course involving making us a natural resource net exporter of significance to help with the trade deficit. Congress might restrain govt spending to 1% a year and perhaps have other pro growth initiatives, etc. It's scary how we could be ending 2012 with this third world plan of goosing the economy in an election year, then pulling back the reins after re-election. Straight out of the Mexican playbook.
If you d have told me we d increase the US debt 41% in the first three years BEFORE the real demographics kick in....Medicare and social security, I'd have never believed it.
I think that the problem here is that many of you still act (and think) as if we are on a hard money system, like the gold standard. We are not. We are on a fiat monetary system, which provides the gov't the ability to print and spend, LITERALLY, an infinite amount of money, so long as the dollar is accepted by everyone as a legitimate currency, as it is now. In fact, you can buy anything, almost anywhere in the world with US dollars. They're more accepted than gold. And that isn't going to change, until/unless the US is no longer the dominant global military power. We control the sea, period. You control the sea, you control trade.. you can do what you want with your currency. You folks need to study up on Modern Monetary Theory.. I'd recommend googling some articles by Warren Mosler, or Cullen Roche. Good luck!
This is exactly the argument Ponzi planned on. It'll blow up sometime, but it's just a bet that it won't happen in your lifetime. Great philosophy.
"And that isn't going to change"...and that is where you are wrong..it is changing now..look who is buying all the gold....they can see the future too...and is Obama building up our armed forces ...or cutting them...they see that too....anyway..it is print print print...the politicians that is all they can do...but at some point it will be hyperinflation..then a new world currency will show up....

Fetch? Roll Over? Child's Play. These Amazing Animals Can Sniff Out Low Blood Sugar, Irregular Heartbeats and Epileptic Seizures
SPECIAL POWER: Sniffs out low glucose
Two or three times a week, Krystle Samai's sound sleep is interrupted by her dog Beverly plopping down. "I wake up to find the full weight of her right on top of me," says the 22-year-old college student of her 55-lb. Labrador retriever. But bleary eyes—and a faceful of dog breath—are a small price to pay for her pet's actions. Beverly is warning Samai that her blood glucose level is crashing and needs immediate attention.
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 9, Samai previously had little success fending off the seizures that can accompany low glucose levels—hypoglycemia—despite checking her blood up to 10 times a day and using an insulin pump. After one terrifying attack in 2006 at the University of California, Berkeley, where Samai majors in public health, she contacted Dogs for Diabetics, a nonprofit agency in Concord, Calif., that trains dogs to detect the subtle scent changes resulting from hypoglycemia. Eight months later, she was matched with Beverly—and hasn't had a seizure since. Says Samai: "With Beverly, I feel empowered."
SPECIAL POWER: Prevents her owner from fainting
Heart and asthma meds; epinephrine "pen."
Massachusetts SPCA "Animal Hero Award" medal; a cell phone is attached to Adele's harness handle.
While walking through an office building last September, Adele, a black Labrador retriever, nuzzled Marty Harris's leg, a signal for her owner to sit. And for two long hours, Adele lay across Harris as she sat on a cold marble floor. "She wasn't letting me get up for anything," recalls Harris, 36, a homemaker from Boston.
And knowing Adele, Harris wasn't going to move until the dog relented. Harris suffers from a severe case of vasovagal syncope, where the heart rate and blood pressure plummet, and had been fainting since elementary school. Medications prescribed by her cardiologist weren't working; doctors also ruled out a pacemaker. The onset is undetectable to human senses, and yet Adele can sense trouble coming, for reasons that puzzle even her trainers at Canine Partners for Life, a nonprofit that places dogs with people with physical disabilities. "It's one of the mysteries of dogs," says CPL founder Darlene Sullivan.
Harris called CPL after seeing a TV show on dogs that can sense cancer. Since bringing home Adele in July 2006 (cost: $900), Harris has gone from fainting almost daily to passing out only once, when she ignored the dog's warnings. Says her cardiologist Dr. James Januzzi: "It's nothing short of miraculous."
SPECIAL POWER: Senses epileptic seizures
When Chiper, a 57-lb. German shepherd-coonhound mix, first sensed that Candice Escandon was on the verge of an epileptic seizure, she would put her paws on her master's shoulders, nudge her to the ground and protectively stand over her. That changed earlier this year when, instead of pushing, "she started giving me this intense stare, like the look a mom gives a child," says Escandon, 23, a homemaker in Orlando. She believes Chiper noticed that she was pregnant and wanted to issue a gentler warning.
Need more proof of Chiper's talents? One time the dog "literally pinned my left shoulder to the ground," says Escandon. "I was going into another seizure, and she was making sure I wasn't going to get up and collapse on the concrete floor."
Escandon takes medication and uses an implanted electric stimulator to lessen the severity of her attacks. But she relies on Chiper, purchased from the nonprofit Canine Partners for Life for $300 in 2002, to make sure she's lying down when they strike. "It's good to know Candice always has somebody with her, that she's never alone," says her husband, Tim, 22, a paint technician. That includes accompanying the couple to amusement parks and even walking down the aisle at their 2005 wedding—special treats for a special dog. "She gives me independence," says Escandon. "I know I'm safe."

It's only quality campgrounds that seem to be lacking, with some out-of-town accommodation complexes phasing out their camping facilities. Prices increase during May and September when the international fairs are on. Book well in advance for events such as Plovdiv Jazz Festival and Kapana Fest.

The undefeated and No. 14-ranked NCAA Division II men's basketball team in the nation has left town, but the West Texas A&M Buffaloes will hardly get a breather tonight.
The Buffs dropped their second three-point decision in the WT Event Center within a week to No. 14 Southwestern Oklahoma State on Thursday, falling 53-50 only five days after the Bulldogs had beaten WT 50-47 in overtime. Southwestern improved to 7-0.
Tonight, the Buffs (2-3) will host Cameron, and all the Aggies have done is win their first six games, including an 80-74 decision against Lone Star Conference South Division power Eastern New Mexico on Thursday in Portales, N.M.
"Right now, we're the kind of team that has to play well every night out to win," WT coach Rick Cooper said after Thursday's loss. "And we haven't played that well, really, all season. We're tentative, and we can't afford to be tentative with the schedule we're playing."
The Buffs got 18 points from guard Govinda Thomas-Carter on Thursday, but forward Jamil Terrell was held to 10 points and six rebounds, ending his streak of double-doubles at three games.
"They (Southwestern Oklahoma) did a good job defending Jamil," Cooper said. "He didn't have a good grip on the ball when he got it inside. He had a few knocked away.
''But he didn't have a bad night; it just wasn't a real good night."
WT couldn't hold a 12-point halftime lead Thursday after committing 15 turnovers and shooting 35 percent from the field in the second half. Cooper also was upset with his team's defense in the final minutes.
"They (Southwestern) beat us off the dribble a few times when they needed to," Cooper said. "We have to fix that."
Tonight should be the final game this season for the Buffs without veteran forward Jason Campbell and new point guard Ronnie Holmes. They will join the team when the fall semester ends and should be available for WT's Dec. 11 home game against Central Arkansas.
In addition to Eastern New Mexico, Cameron's 6-0 start includes an 88-75 win at Abilene Christian.
Against Eastern, the Aggies got 24 points from reserve Eric Moore, 19 points from guard Bam Harmon and 14 points and seven rebounds from guard Arthur Trousdell.
Cameron led 62-47 before the Greyhounds rallied for a tie with a 15-0 run.
The Greyhounds took a brief 65-64 lead with 4:18 to play before a Trousdell bucket started a 7-0 Cameron run that gave the Aggies the lead for good.

Are my boots too big?
Hello all,
I have been experiencing issues with the boots I bought, even though I found a solution I think they may be too big and might want to buy a new .5 size smaller pair next year. My issue is that when I put on my right boot I experience a fair amount of heel lift even though I have bought SHL and the boots I bought (burton hail 2012) have pads for the heel to slip into. I find I have to pull the insole Super tight in order for my heel not to move when I am boarding. It is a serviceable fix but I am thinking the boots might be half a size too big, the thing is is that my left boot is fine, I don't have to reef on the insole half as hard and it feels comfortable. Am I just hooped?
Hard to say, some boots just don't fit some feet too. What size are your feet, and what size boots did you buy? I used to wear size 9.5-10 boots when I thought it was more comfortable, now I think I cram my feet into 8.5s and love it. They should fit almost like a hockey skate. Tight, but not painful (okay maybe a LITTLE painful at first)...
Yep, boot fit is a lot more important than just the size listed on the boot. Some boots run wide, some boots run narrower. I have a narrow heel and finding boots that fit well is always a PITA. I've found that adding addition j-bars and the SOLE Ed Viesturs footbeds really helps my boots.
Sometimes though, you have to choose between comfort and response. I've found that I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of response to gain a lot of comfort.

Its EASILY a tie between Metal Gear and Final Fantasy. Both games are done by some of the most creative and innovative minds in the industry. Both have rising to the top of their respective genres. Both have amazing storylines that keep you hooked(Metal Gears storyline is on a level beyond ANYTHING in the videogame industry, EVER) and finally, fans consider both games "experiences".

having alot of games doesn't make it great. I thought alot of those games sucked.
I really enjoyed the Resident Evil franchise.
Also some of my favorite games came from the Zelda franchise.
I absolutely can't say anything bad about the mario franchise.
Just curious, would the Kingdom Hearts games fall under Final Fantasy. They were my favorite.
Also I believe one franchise is definately missing and should be added. I see that others have mentioned some missing ones but I don't think this list should exist without
DragonQuest. If that was on the list I probably would have voted for it. I love their games and find them more enjoyable then FF games.

All I'm trying to point out with that list is that if your games sucked, no producers, develepors etc. would want their hand in such a product or allow you to go ahead with such a project. For there to have been so many FF's shows that they've been doing something right. There's no way you could have made 20+ games, if your games were shit.
Would anyone else agree, not that DragonQuest should win, but that it's good enough to be on the list.
Games like Resident Evil didn't even start production until the PS one.
DragonQuest has been around since the NES and in my opinion is still going strong.
Man I love those slimes.

• Noninvasive testing (Doppler imaging and spectral analysis of carotid flow) was performed in 70 symptomatic patients who required unilateral carotid endarterectomy. Angiographic correlations were made with the noninvasive tests before surgery, and postoperatively hemodynamic changes were determined during a three-year follow-up period. Postoperative stenosis occurred in 9% (3% early and 6% late) of the patients. Clinical progression on the unoperated side (new symptoms or bruits) occurred in 15 patients. Ten of these 15 patients had significant hemodynamic progression of disease in the unoperated carotid as well. Clinically occult hemodynamic progression of disease on the unoperated side was detected by noninvasive testing in four of the cases. Neurological complications resulting from postoperative occlusion occurred in two cases.

Love this mat. I thought it was a little pricey, but it is so comfortable to stand on. I ordered two, one for in front of the stove and one for in front the sink. Absolutely love them.
attractive, fits well with my kitchen décor. soft feel too. nice bright colors.
The mat went perfect with the decor in my kitchen and was also comfortable to stand on. The backing was perfect. I am thinking of purchasing another one.

Critical Chain Method (CCM) – A Short Definition

Critical Chain Method (CCM) – A Short Definition
By Sivaraj Dhanasekaran
Schedule Network Analysis is one of the tools and techniques of Schedule Development process. Critical Chain Method is one of the method used to perform Schedule Network Analysis.
This method is used to prepare the project schedule when limited or restricted resources are available.
In this method, the PM usually schedule all or most of the high risk or critical activities in the earlier stage of the project schedule. This allows the critical tasks to be completed early as well as gives buffers to handle unexpected problems if arises. Also the PM will combine several tasks in to one task and assign one resource to handle all.
The steps involved:
- Construct the Schedule Network Diagram
- Define dependencies
- Define constraints
- Calculate critical path for the project
- Apply resource availability
The critical path will change once the resource availability has been applied.
Dhanasekaran, Sivaraj is a certified PMP and works as a Senior Project Manager in one of the leading MNC banks in Singapore. He has over 13 years IT experience and handled banking projects as well as managed production support team for complex Treasury applications for various MNC banks.
He loves to share his experience and knowledge gained as Project Manager and also providing guidance to people who wanted to obtain PMP certification. He runs a project management forum at www.sgpm.wordpress.com.

Weak/misleading article. Critical Chain is the title of the 1997 book by Eli Goldratt – the person who coined the phrase Critical Chain Project Management (not to be confused with Critical Path). How any definition of Critical Chain can fail to mention Goldratt is beyond me. In fact the article shows that author does not understand what Critical Chain Project Management is. Do your research!

How to set resolution higher than 800x600 on HP HDX18 laptop?
Hi all, I can't get my resolution higher than 800x600 on a nvidia GT130. I have a HP HDX 18 laptop. I couldn't install 64studio 2.1 because it didn't recognize my BlueRay/DVD/CD-ROM player. So I installed 3.0beta3. Installation was smooth, except that 64studio runs in a 800x600 resolution, while the in-build nvidia GT130 graphics chip can go up to the display's native full HD resolution of 1920x1080 (binary nvidia driver on Kubuntu 9.04). By reading these forums I understand that the binary driver can cause problems (which might explain why UbuntuStudio 9.04 is unstable on this laptop: random crashes of Rosegarden). And since I want to use this laptop for music (MIDI and audio) I don't need fancy 3D effects. Just a higher resolution and 2D accelleration would be great. So I would like to use the "nv" open source driver. I don't know how to install that, even after reading this and Ubuntu's forum and Googling. I tried to install nv by using Envy, but Envy only gives me options to install the binary drivers. I tried xrandr to add a new mode and setting the resolution to this mode, but xrandr says it cannot find the new mode. Help would be much appreciated, since I would love to give 4studio 3.0 beta 3 a try. TIA, Maarten
hybrid "nv" xorg.conf
Hi Maarten, This hybrid xorg.conf might help to get you started in the right direction.
Download as .txt and experiment.
If my memory is right I played around with these tools to find the modes.
$ xrandr
Find the modelines required for xorg.conf
$ gtf 1280 1024 60
$ gtf 1280 1024 75
GUI Monitor & Card settings
$ sudo displayconfig-gtk
Cheers! Dave.
PS: BackUp your default xorg.conf first.
Nope, doesn't work...
Hi Dave, thanks for your quick reply. I find the xorg.conf file a bit too daunting for me, so I opted for $ sudo displayconfig-gtk This looks like a great tool: all the options, but now with a GUI! Here I selected my monitor ("LCD panel 1920 x 1080 (wide screen)") and my video card/driver ("nv"). The native resolution 1920x1080 was not available, but hey, anything more than 800x600 is a gain. I selected 1680x1050, pressed "Test" and my screen changed into the test screen. Looked like the correct resolution, so I pressed "Keep current configuration". My screen turned back into the 64Studio screen, however, back in the 800x600 resolution. Hmmm, well, I pressed "OK" and displayconfig-gtk disappeared. I logged out, pressed Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, the X server restarted and... I got the same 800x600 resolution back. I logged in again, ran sudo displayconfig-gtk again and saw that my settings were mysteriously set to an LCD with 1024x768 and a resolution of 800x600. To cut a long story short: I tried several drivers (vesa, nv and nvidia), tried several general LCD panels, even an HP one, and even if they test OK, and I press Keep and OK and start displayconfig-gtk again, my settings are apparently not saved and I get to see these above mentioned settings. Any help is much appreciated! Maarten
