I didn't complete it
In my previous attempt to get my local SQL Server MediaLibrary into Azure, I left it incomplete. I truly didn't realize that until I tried to connect SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to my database in Azure. It connected, but there was no data in any of the tables. My bad.
So let's get this right. First, I deleted the database in Azure SQL. I don't know if it is possible to do it any other way, but since it's a small enough database I thought that would be all right. That and when I tried to upload it straight from SSMS, I got error messages about incompatibility. So in order to resolve this I decided to delete the previous instance from the Azure portal, to start over again. To do this I returned to the MSDN article SQL Server database migration to SQL Database in the cloud.
Starting Over Again
There are three steps you must take in order to migrate your local SQL database into Azure, they are:
- Test for compatibility
- Fix compatibility issues
- Perform the migration
I decided to use SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio (SSDT). This is for testing for compatibility. That led me to a link titled Migrate a SQL Server Database to Azure SQL Database using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio.
WOW, in going through this I've discovered what step I left out. Its towards the end under "Fixing Compatibility Issues Using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio". I stopped short of doing step #4 which is updating the local target V12 compatible database and actually publishing the original data to the V12 compatible database.
(Someone, I can't remember who nor where, asked me for my feedback on where in the Microsoft Azure documentation, did I leave off accidentally. I'm sorry, I can't remember who you were, but it is here, in this Migrate a SQL Server Database to Azure SQL Database using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio. I think it was because this article, to me, seemed to suggest that if I followed this article, I'd be done. I was mistaken in my interpretation, that is clear. And it was before this point where I stopped previously.)
Step 5 is a link back to Migrate a compatible SQL Server database to SQL Database. So I'm returning to the that article to select a migration method.
Migrating my SQL Server compatible database to Azure SQL
Because of my local video library database is small and I can control activity to it, I'm going to use the SSMS Migration Wizard. Selecting the link to migrate my compatible database I went to a page titled Migrate SQL Server database to SQL Database using Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure Database Wizard.
After getting back in SSMS I right mouse button clicked on the new V12 compatible database I created locally, and selected "Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database" option under Tasks. That brought up a wizard to walk me through deploying the database.
At this point I started entering my Azure credentials, this time selecting a different name for the target database in Azure (just in case). I noticed that for the temporary file name the wizard is creating a .bacpac file. Interesting. So one way or other a BACPAC is used to perform the migration.
I'd like to point out that at this step the dialog box that I got for entering my initial credentials, didn't look like what was in the article. Here's what mine looked like:
The instructions at step 6 talk about naming the database, setting the edition of Microsoft Azure SQL database, max database size, etc. Because this is an experimental database that I alone will be hitting against (maybe some of my family members will use it later on when I get to the point of writing an app to hit against it – I'll blog about that as well), I am choosing Basic Edition, 2 GB of database size (that's the max for basic anyway) and Service Objective of Basic.
Clicking the Next button takes you to a summary. And here I can click on the Finish button which actually performs the migration of the database and data, into Azure SQL.
And here's what the Deployment Settings window looked like:
Verifying it worked
While still in SSMS I used Object Explorer to connect to my Azure SQL database to just make sure it worked.
It worked!

"There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full."
No doubt like Henry Kissinger, we all wish that we could just focus on the part of the job we love—developing creative, innovative, brand building strategies as opposed to thinking about, or worse, facing an actual crisis. Crises are hard! Tensions are high; scrutiny is intense; the underlying facts are bad; the decisions that need to be made are incredibly challenging; and oftentimes the search for a scapegoat precedes the pursuit of remedies.
With high profile executive departures at Berkeley, Missouri, Baylor, Davis, Temple, Louisville, and DePaul; churn at the top seems to have reached epidemic levels. What hasn't grabbed the headlines is that the turnover of AVCs of Communications after a crisis is probably even higher. How can you protect yourself and your strategic priorities when danger seems to be perpetually lurking on the horizon?
A Press Release Can't Save An Institution— Only Action Can
It is important to recognize that the MarComm team serves dual role– to both build and to protect the reputation of the institution. In most cases, the "build" side of the equation gets the focus, the resources and is, no doubt, what interested you in the first place. While natural and understandable, it is equally important that you prioritize the "protect" side; viewing it proactively and strategically.
Poor crisis response, for example, is almost guaranteed when Communications is not at the table as decisions are being made. If you don't have an opportunity to weigh in, you and your team risk being left in the unenviable position of having to "explain" potentially poor decisions that will not withstand stakeholder scrutiny.
One action you can take now to demonstrate your strategic chops relative to crisis management would be to spearhead a plan for identifying and mitigating potentially damaging issues. In fact, how soon you learn of an issue is probably the single biggest determinant of a successful response.
You can start by doing the following:
- Develop a clear, fault free process for reporting bad news. Defining the what, how, when and to whom issues and events that have the potential to create significant reputational risk are identified and reported.
- Identify the right staff and process to "connects the dots"—crises never occur in isolation and it's critical to analyze and assess the information in a broader context.
- Establish an open door policy and reputation for taking all concerns seriously – not just from students but from all stakeholders. There is a natural inclination to minimize or disbelieve bad news. Don't.
As we all know, years of great brand building and marketing efforts can be undone in a matter of days by a poor response to a crisis. Managed well and a crisis can burnish an institution's reputation and the quality and values of its leadership. Managed poorly, and the impacts are needlessly exacerbated.
Blue Moon Consulting Group works in collaboration with colleges and universities of all sizes, helping them prepare and respond to issue and crisis events. We've recently released two whitepapers on ways to effectively manage crisis in higher ed:
- Higher Education Crisis Management: A Proactive and Strategic Approach to Managing Reputational Risk
- Higher Education Leadership in Crisis: A Guide to Preparing for and Preventing a Crisis on Your Watch
- (Coming Soon) Higher Education Issues Management: Beyond Spin—Bridging the Gap Between Stakeholder Expectations and Decision Making
Available for download at: www.bluemoonconsultinggroup.com/highered.
As is frequently noted, the Chinese character for "crisis" is composed of two parts, one meaning "danger" and the other "opportunity." Seize this opportunity and give both yourself and your school a fighting chance by getting out in front of a potential crisis.
About Blue Moon Consulting Group
Metaphorically speaking a blue moon is a very rare event. In reality, blue moons are highly predictable and occur more often than most people realize. Likewise, threats to an organization's reputation are predictable, frequent and require a proactive management approach. Blue Moon Consulting Group provides its clients insight, counsel, and experience to help them effectively manage real-time response to significant issues and crisis events.
We also help organizations mitigate issues and avoid crises altogether through the development of proactive issues management programs, the enhancement of crisis management and communications plans, and by conducting training, exercises and leadership sessions. Our goal is to build an organizational culture in which reputation is viewed as a key asset and fundamental strategic input into decision-making.

The Gen Z Customer
The digital revolution has redefined the relationship that exists between customers and brands. No longer a one-way flow of communication, brands must now engage and encourage interaction and honest dialogue, with digital, interactive experiences replacing many traditional in-person moments.
For higher ed marketers, this is particularly important because of the influx of Gen Z students who began enrolling in college in the 2015 academic year. In many ways, Gen Z, as digital natives, are leading the way to upend the traditional interactions and relationships that take place between brand and customer. Gen Z expects uber-like responses, seamless experiences, and error-free processes.
And while higher ed marketers have been quick to embrace emerging technology and meet students where they are, these changing dynamics and expectations have created a need and opportunity for higher ed brands to differentiate themselves by putting customer experience at the forefront.
Mobile first strategies and social media profiles are the norm at this point, but seamless, consistent online and digital experiences across an institution are increasingly becoming an expectation. From prospects to alumni, there are key moments – for example, online inquiries, applications, class registration, transcript requests – that are opportunities for dialogue and individual representations of your brand. Each provides an opportunity to reinforce brand value by delivering great customer and user experience.
It may be daunting to think about the infinite number of moments for engaging customers across their journeys and in various channels, but higher ed can begin to prioritize by identifying key audiences and understanding their preferred communication methods. Here's a few from Gen Z that are well documented:
- On Demand: Chegg's 2016 Social Admissions Report found that 53% of students expect a response within a day of contacting a college representative. I suspect a similar response time is also expected for inquiries such as campus visit requests and questions or complaints via social media. How can tools such as CRM and social listening software be used to rethink processes to ensure a timely, seamless experience and prompt response mechanisms?
- Personalized Content: Chegg found 93% of students agreed with the statement, "I would like to receive communication from college admissions tailored specifically to me." Similarly, a report from eMarketer found that college students are "most likely to click on a social ad if it's for something they care about or need—meaning, if it's well targeted to their interests and relevant to their lives." This applies not only to digital and print communication, but also to in-person experiences. Imagine how personalized and digital integrations can enhance the visitor center, the application process, or student services.
- Mobile First: 12% of respondents to Chegg's study indicated they submitted a college application via their mobile device. Although it is widely understood that Gen Z's digital experience is primarily mobile, 12% seems low, especially when you consider the number of students who may not have access to a regular computer or laptop. Mobile friendly websites are certainly an asset, but ensuring other important interactions such as virtual tours, application submission or the ability to chat with a college representative are optimized for mobile are important considerations.
The X's and O's of Marketing Strategy
Football season is around the corner, and while I could talk for hours about the ethical dilemmas surrounding football itself or oversized budgets of big time college athletics, I'll instead share what higher ed marketers might learn from the gridiron.
Football is—at its core—the least expressive of any team sport. It's quite simply about 11 players doing their individual jobs, following a detailed plan, and staying committed in the face of challenges or bumps in the road. The blocker must make his block. The receiver runs the route precisely as it's designed. A runner hits the hole specified in the play. And the quarterback needs to read the defense (which is performing the same disciplined, individualized tasks) and make the play.
If you have talent and everyone does their job, you could wind up like, well, the University of Alabama (which has won three of the last five national titles).
While we like to think about higher education marketing as a creative and expressive endeavor (that is more fun, after all), the reality is that differentiation is a challenge in a sector where product offerings are so similar. Fundamentally, successful higher ed marketers realize the real keys to success are starting with a strong strategy and creating deep integration.
Or in football terms…the marketer (coach) needs to develop the strategy (game plan) that clearly has each tactic or marketing goal (player) focused on its job and successfully integrate (touchdown) despite barriers and challengers. The reasons integration and focus don't occur more regularly aren't necessarily new—budget, staffing, organizational, continuous change, new marketing tactics, overload of stakeholders to appease—but they aren't impossible to overcome (or that unique to higher ed, as much as we'd like to think they are).
Being attentive to two key factors makes a big difference:
- Marketing your institution's brand should not be done at the expense of marketing the products you deliver. Branding has taken such root in higher ed that there is more attention paid to the nascent experience or image than the product itself. We deliver advertising, branded content and storytelling, social posts, and more that delivers on a brand strategy or has some engagement value but operates at such a high, thematic level that our product marketing suffers or is under-supported. Don't believe me? Take a look at your program or major/minor pages on your website. When it comes down to choices for prospective students or potential funders, they want to know what's happening in a specific academic area, what the actual experience is like, if faculty are experts in their fields, and more. A peek at your web analytics will reveal your program pages are among the top-visited parts of your website. The flip of that is that program marketing needs to be integrated more fully to tie back to branding efforts. Why market a new major or academic program in a manner disconnected from institutional branding or broader strategies? And, done right, truly investing in building program and curricular awareness can ladder up to strengthening your brand overall. To return to the football analogy…the blocking and tackling done by your academic programs, and any marketing they are doing, is key to your team's success.
- Marketing tactics should serve both brand and response marketing goals. In corporate settings, marketing usually includes (at minimum) brand, product, channel and partner marketing activity. Channels and tactics can be very distinct and different for each. As our marketing worlds have gotten more and more digitally-focused (and marketing budgets have followed), higher ed has had an interesting reaction. It appears that brand activity has remained primarily in traditional channels (cable television, industry trades and outdoor). And direct response—traditional student recruitment and enrollment in continuing, graduate, and professional programs—has moved to in-bound and digital channels. According to a recent study by Forrester, just 13% of marketers say they use programmatic digital ad buying for branding efforts. Conversely, 39% use it for direct response. But, as the report states, "programmatic buying is changing and becoming less about cheap impressions." If higher ed marketers can operate in an integrated manner (which doesn't have to necessarily equate to a mandated centralized organization), digital advertising and inbound strategies could serve both brand and program goals. And perhaps a more effective awareness strategy would be to invest even further in marketing your programs and degrees with direct, digital marketing that ladders up.
There just isn't a tagline that can deliver the necessary detail required to drive choice. Successful integration is key.
Look to Samsung, the 2016 Cannes Lions International Marketer of the Year for inspiration. A company with as many products and services as Samsung (or GE or IBM or a college or university) can't rest on a tagline. It's integrated, strategic marketing across brand, product and channel that makes the difference.
Samsung has a strong, research-based brand strategy that centers on "helping people push the limits of life." Then, whether creating an app to help children with autism maintain eye contact as a part of their "Launching People" campaign or driving sales through highlighting the detailed product (and personal) benefits of having a water-resistant phone (my favorite ad of the year) they stay true to the brand message.
So, back to the football analogy. There's a reason offensive and defensive linemen dominate the first few rounds of the NFL draft every year. You win in the trenches with a lot of sweat and muscle.
Liberal Arts (and Computer Processors) – So what? Who cares?
Before you let out an exasperated sigh, I am not questioning the value of liberal arts – there are plenty of other sources that argue the "so what" well (i.e. the Phi Beta Kappa Society toolkit, CIC's liberal arts research and data, etc.). Here's what I want to ask: Who cares about liberal arts?
The short answer is plenty of people – especially those who work in higher ed. We know the term "liberal arts" is great shorthand for a long list of benefits. We know liberal arts encourages students to look at a problem from a variety of perspectives. We know liberal arts sets a student up a for a successful career. We know liberal arts prepares students for a variety of industries including those in science or technology. Unfortunately, the short answer ignores that prospective students don't even know what liberal arts means.
In recent interviews with high school students, I cringed as I heard them say:
- "I'm liberal, so I want to go to a liberal arts college."
- "I would like to attend a liberal arts college because I am really into the arts."
- "I would like to take liberal arts courses, but I don't want to major in it."
I empathize with these high school students. I don't know—and don't care to know—anything about computer processors. But when I recently purchased a new laptop, I needed to understand why computer processors mattered to me. I followed steps similar to those of prospective students searching for a college. I looked at rating and reviews. I read computer geek blogs. I asked myself questions like: What is a processor? Why should I care about that? As I type this on my new laptop, I have to admit that I still cannot tell you the difference between an Intel Core M or Intel Core i7—and please don't ask me to describe the value of a processor. I would probably make a computer professional cringe.
Looking back, I appreciate that computer companies made it easy for me to purchase a laptop without understanding their jargon. Best Buy started off with questions like what is most important in your next laptop?. Lenovo let me sort by usage (high performance, students, home office, small business, entertainment, or gaming). Apple gave me fun quick descriptions: "Light. Years ahead"; "More power behind every pixel"; or "All the power you want. All day long." I didn't see any mention of processors at the beginning of my search. I only found those terms as I moved further into my search process.
I want to challenge you to take a page out of the laptop companies' marketing book. Don't ban the term liberal arts from communications or give up the campaign for liberal arts. Computer companies still explain the types of processor, and Intel still has prevalent marketing campaigns demonstrating how their products create "amazing human experiences." Rather, start the conversation by communicating what makes your institution distinct and the benefits of your educational experience. Explain how prospective students will take a wide range of classes allowing them to solve complex problems. Show them how your alumni have successful careers in a variety of industries. Talk to students in the terminology they care about and save the confusing language for later.

By Comrade,
I've been watching her eyes roll,
Not in irony though:
"It's only half four, what you leaving for?"
The sun's come up and she hasn't come down.
That was the last time I caught her knocking around
With that boy who wasn't good for her;
It weren't his fault they just weren't a fit
'Cause she was too preoccupied cutting her wrists –
She had too much gear and he wasn't equipped.
Waking up at the wrong end of the day,
She's pretty so she gets her way.
But she's sad, she has a second taste of the food she's had
Still she says it'll be better one day.

The valet parking Gatwick is the best way to remove all stress while traveling through the Gatwick airport. It is very inconvenient to travel in a cab when you are going to the airport because first you will have to call the cab, load your luggage and then carry them all the way to boarding platform and then while coming out of the airport, you will need to stand in the long queue for a cab. The Gatwick meet and greet parking allows you travel stress free and in your car to and fro the airport at all times. All convenience is eliminated through this process and you will only need to pay a minor fee for parking your car at the airport while you are traveling. It does not matter which terminal is used for traveling because the Gatwick meet and greet parking is present in both the North and South terminals. You have to pay the same parking fee for both the terminals which are 78.50 pounds for a week. In this way people using any of the terminals can make use of this service at the Gatwick airport. The moment you drive in your car at the airport, a driver will be waiting for you who will then take your car and park it safely while you make your trip. All that you need to do is to drop of your car at the terminal and then take your flight and on your way back, you will need to call the 24*7 customer care support and inform them of your arrival so that the moment you are ready with your luggage to come out of the airport, your car will be right there in front of you, waiting to take you home. This is the specialty of valet parking Gatwick. When you have to catch a flight and are yet to book your parking and you drive directly to the gate, the parking fee becomes enormous and you might need to pay a massive sum for it which you wouldn't want to. Therefore it is advisable that you also book your parking space at the valet parking Gatwick which always has a steady parking rate that is affordable. Also you need to worry about the security of your car because the Gatwick meet and greet parking assures you the safety of your car through the installation of CCTV cameras, constant patrols by security staff, floodlighting and security fencing. This way the safety of your car is ensured when you are away from home. The many benefits of valet parking Gatwick have attracted many and therefore the airport itself has seen much profit due to the usage of the parking. It is a very good scheme that helps cut down on the stress and save more time which is any day more important to all than money. It is recommended that you make use of the Gatwick meet and greet parking whenever you are planning to go out of town.

And on the forefront of that is the Arlington Gay and Lesbian Alliance (AGLA), one of the Old Dominion's oldest organizations in the fight for GLBT equality.
"Some individuals hear the word 'Virginia,' and they paint the picture of the redneck bigot," says AGLA president Daniel Hays. "In fact, in Arlington County, almost 75 percent [of residents] voted against the marriage amendment."
Hays says Arlington is lucky not only in its citizenry, but in its stock of progressive leaders throughout the local government. But having that support is no reason to "sit on your laurels."
"If we just join together, we're able to accomplish much greater things," he says.
Founded in 1981, AGLA pursues a "tripartite mission": community service, social opportunities and political awareness. While the group has long been a participant in Capital Pride, being a Community Partner takes them a step further in all of AGLA's mission goals. It's also an opportunity to remind everyone that Capital Pride is a broad-based, regional community affair.
"We want to make sure were preserve the fact that Capital Pride is not 'Washington Pride,' and make sure Virginia is present," says Hays.
AGLA stays active in the community at large, with members serving in the local government, collecting food for the homeless and working on safe school initiatives, as well as other projects and activities. For Capital Pride, you'll find AGLA members marching as part of the Pride Parade and staffing their annual booth at the Pride Festival.
On June 7, AGLA will also host a NoVa Pride Concert and Fundraiser for Capital Pride at Freddie's Beach Bar in Crystal City, featuring performances by Jon Bozeman, Rachel Panay and Tom Goss, plus DJ Alicia and emcees Destiny B. Childs and Randi Miller.
The NoVa Pride event will be held Saturday, June 7 at 8 p.m. at Freddie's, 555 South 23rd St., Arlington. For more information about AGLA, visit its Web site at www.agla.org or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Medicare and Medicaid:
CMS and State Efforts to Interact with the Indian Health Service and Indian Tribes

By law, facilities funded by the Indian Health Service (IHS) may retain reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid without an offsetting reduction in funding. Ensuring that IHS-funded facilities enroll individuals in--and obtain reimbursement from--Medicare and Medicaid can provide an important means of expanding the funding for health care services for the population served by IHS. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that administers Medicare and oversees states' Medicaid programs, is required by Executive Order and HHS policy to consult with Indian tribes on policies that have tribal implications. This requirement is in recognition of the unique government-to-government relationship between the 562 federally recognized Indian tribes and the federal government. GAO was asked to (1) describe interactions between CMS and IHS, (2) examine mechanisms CMS uses to interact and consult with Indian tribes, (3) examine mechanisms that selected states' Medicaid programs use to interact and consult with Indian tribes, and (4) identify barriers to Medicare and Medicaid enrollment and efforts to help eligible American Indians and Alaska Natives apply for and enroll in these programs. GAO reviewed documents, interviewed federal and state officials, and visited a judgmental sample of Indian tribes and IHS-funded facilities in six states.
CMS and IHS have interacted to (1) provide support to IHS-funded facilities and tribes in their access to Medicare and Medicaid and (2) address broader policy and regulatory concerns regarding these programs. Their interactions to provide support have included education and technical assistance; the agencies also have interacted to obtain input from tribal representatives on program operations. On broader policy and regulatory concerns, CMS and IHS have worked on policy initiatives aimed at ensuring that existing health care policies meet the needs of IHS-funded facilities and the populations they serve. CMS and IHS have had mixed success identifying whether proposed CMS regulatory changes would affect IHS-funded facilities or their populations and thus warrant IHS review. CMS has been working to improve its identification of such regulations. CMS has used two key mechanisms--tribal liaisons and an advisory board--to interact with representatives from Indian tribes, and it has relied primarily on annual regional sessions sponsored by HHS as its mechanism to consult with Indian tribes. Tribal liaisons in CMS's central and regional offices generally served as the point of contact for tribal representatives. CMS's tribal advisory board, which is meant to complement but not replace consultation, has provided the agency with advice on policies affecting the delivery of health care for American Indians and Alaska Natives. CMS has used annual HHS regional consultation sessions as the primary basis for consulting with Indian tribes. However, consulting with tribes is an inherently difficult task, in part because of the variation in tribes' size, location, and economic status. Further, these HHS regional sessions--which generally lasted 1 to 2 days and covered all HHS programs--have offered limited time for consultation and discussion. The six state Medicaid programs we reviewed have used at least one of three mechanisms--tribal liaisons, advisory boards, and regular meetings--to interact and consult with Indian tribes. Five of the six states reported having policies in place that governed the interactions between the state's Medicaid program and Indian tribes, with most of these policies establishing guidelines for how consultation should be conducted. Five states reported consulting with tribes about changes to their Medicaid programs. American Indians and Alaska Natives have faced several barriers to Medicare and Medicaid enrollment despite efforts to assist them with the application process. Many of these barriers are similar to those experienced by other populations, such as transportation and financial barriers. To help eligible American Indians and Alaska Natives enroll in Medicare and Medicaid, almost all of the IHS-funded facilities we visited had staff who assisted patients with the application process, including helping them complete and submit applications, and collecting required documentation. In commenting on a draft of this report, CMS noted that it was appreciative of GAO's review of CMS activities related to interactions with IHS and tribes.

Dear Midwife,
My biggest concern is the pelvic pain that I'm getting when I lay down. It happens both during the day and at night (mostly at night). I've tried body pillows, Tylenol, sleeping on different mattress and other places (mainly the couch). But the pain doesn't go away. Its been on going like this for over a month. I'm starting to get worried that something could be wrong. Can you help answer my question?
You may need some abdominal support during the day or some physical therapy, depending on the nature of the pain. Are you putting a pillow between your legs, under your tummy and wedging a third one behind your back when you sleep? The one between your legs should be big enough so that your top leg is level with the bed (parallel). It doesn't really sound like anything is wrong with the baby, just the mommy!
-- Cynthia, CNM

Went out of town for a week (cruise to the carribbean) sorry i havent been responding, generally i like to check this thread at least once a day. Just wanted to post to say im still here
So what ended up working to fix it? did you edit your xorg like my suggestion or did you just find a command to add to the xorg rotater script. You say you switch the resolution by hand?...
I would think that you could just change the resolutions available in your xorg.conf.clone. What i mean is make 1024 x 768 the only available resolution. Then whenever you load that conf...
I have never been able to get beryl on a dual screen at my setup. I have always done just as you described metacity for dual screen, beryl for single screen. If you do figure out how to...
what happens if you manually disable beryl before you run the script to go dual screen? (at least switch the window manager to metacity) Does X still crash?
Wow that is alot of posts about black and white issues! they really start to add up, good idea opening up a bug report
Hopefully it works well for you, if not post back!
Your King enjoys your praise! glad you got it working and that zenity script is neat

It takes a little work to setup but its nothing to swap xorgs.. especially if you create a shortcut to the script then you merely double-click and log back in.. Sure theres a lot going on in...
Glad is sort of works for you. I agree that it is probably your broadcom. Everything i read about those is bad as far as linux support goes..
good to know and im glad that the svideo still works in feisty! Hopefully they will sort out that ctrl+alt+backspace issue..
Awesome! glad you got it going
That xorg looks okay to me.. The only other thing I can think of to try is playing around with 915resolution. It should be available in the repo's. I had to use it in order to get my...

A very convincing fabric design and looks great in yardage - despite - or maybe because of? - the irregular diagonal. Would love to see it developed in some different colorways.

Category305 Blows Over
Bad news: The Miami web newspaper Category305 is gone. Rebecca Wakefield and Celeste Fraser Delgado gave it a valiant effort, with at least one house second-mortgaged. It just never really took, which is a shame since it was a quality pub.
Here's the death notice, written by Delgado:
From: Celeste Delgado Subject: c305 sendoff Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:01:15 -0500 To: Rebecca Wakefield
Hello Dear Friends,
As you may have noticed, Category305 is no more. I meant to send you all individual notes before the site went down, but every time I tried it made me too sad. So please forgive me for this group missive, even if a bit late.
We had a great run and it's not all over. Double the Vote is still up and we hope to build on the success of that endeavor. Both Rebecca and I have been hired as contributing editors to MOLI, a new social networking site. Rebecca will be covering the national election starting in January and I'm already covering worthy causes at www.moli.com/p/moliview. We'll be migrating some of our favorite c305 content to a MOLI profile as well. (I have everything saved as pdf files). I'll also be working with Mia Leonin and who ever else I can convince to continue covering the Miami performing arts scene starting in January (check out the profile at www.moli.com/playon).
Most important, I want to invite you all to a little sendoff celebration next Saturday .... There will be food and prizes -- and lots of love for all of you who contributed so much.
Hope to see you then, CFD

Ask Me: What Are Your Favorite Hikes at Mount Rainier and North Cascades National Parks?
I just discovered your site, really enjoying it. Great book, I bought it from a small bookshop in Lincoln, N.H., called the Mountain Wanderer. We are on are way out to the Pacific NW for a week. We are looking for some ideas on dayhikes and one-night backpacks in the North Cascades and some dayhikes in Mount Rainier National Park.
Look forward to your stories in Backpacker. Thanks in advance for your help.

Photo Gallery: Backpacking the Wild Olympic Coast
By Michael Lanza
You can't order fried seafood or buy a T-shirt anywhere along the 73 miles of seashore of Olympic National Park. What you will find is the longest strip of wilderness coastline in the contiguous United States, home to seals, sea lions, sea otters, bald eagles, tufted puffins, and many seabirds, and humpback, gray, minke, and blue whales. Salmon spawn in wild rivers. Up and down the coast, scores of stone pinnacles—called sea stacks—rise as much as 200 feet out of the ocean. It's one of the few remaining pieces of ocean-view real estate in the Lower 48 that Lewis and Clark or Capt. George Vancouver would recognize. Continue reading →
Photo Gallery: 25 Favorite Backcountry Campsites
By Michael Lanza
Everyone has favorite campsites from unforgettable backcountry trips. I've been fortunate to have pitched a tent in many great backcountry campsites over more than two decades of backpacking and trekking all over the U.S. and the world. I've boiled my list of my favorite campsites down to 25, and I update it annually. Before planning your next trip, scroll through the photo gallery below, which highlights several of my favorite campsites, including jaw-dropping spots like Death Canyon Shelf in Grand Teton National Park, Columbine Lake in Sequoia National Park, Sahale Glacier Camp in North Cascades National Park, and a magical spot by the Colorado River at Hance Rapids in the Grand Canyon (lead photo above).

Photo Gallery: Hiking and Backpacking in the North Cascades National Park Complex
By Michael Lanza
On my first trip to North Cascades National Park, I was sure I'd found heaven. The hard-earned views of a sea of jagged spires and snow- and ice-covered peaks stretching as far as you could see instantly cemented the place as one of my favorite mountain ranges. I've returned many times, backpacking, climbing, ski mountaineering, and dayhiking and backpacking with my family. But not many hikers and backpackers know much about Washington's North Cascades, one of America's least-visited national parks. I think the gallery of photos below from my various trips there will persuade you to put this park high on your list. Continue reading →
Big Wilderness, No Crowds: Top 5 Backpacking Trips For Scenery and Solitude
By Michael Lanza
We all want our wilderness backpacking trips to have two sometimes conflicting qualities: mind-blowing scenery, but also few other people around. A high degree of solitude somehow makes the backcountry feel more wild—makes the views more breathtaking. However unrealistic the notion may be, we like to believe we have some stunning corner of nature to ourselves. But in the real world, if you head out into popular mountains in July or August, you'll probably have company—maybe more than you prefer.
Not on these five trips, though. From California's High Sierra to the Cascades, and Idaho's beloved Sawtooths to the peerless majesty of the Grand Canyon, here are five multi-day hikes where you're guaranteed to enjoy a degree of solitude—at least on long stretches of the trip—that's equal to the scenery.

Security and Fans to Get More Intimate at NFL Games
Nothing like going to a football game, grilling up some brats, drinking a couple brews, and having your loins thoroughly inspected for weapons and contraband. Reuters reports that starting tomorrow, all 32 NFL teams have been asked to perform enhanced pat-downs on fans at home games. For years, security officers at stadiums have issued pat-downs from the waist up, leaving everything below the belt to the imagination. The new measures will enforce the search to be performed from the ankles up.
Officials have not said the new policy is in response to any particular event, but last week a fan managed to sneak a stun-gun into the Jets season opener against the Cowboys at the new Meadowlands Stadium and used it against three men during a fight. A video of the incident was uploaded to YouTube:
Issuing more comprehensive searches for tens of thousands of people is sure to add to the time it takes to get into the stadium, so fans should plan to get to games even earlier. They should also plan to do more squats, as their quadriceps and hamstrings will be under more scrutiny than ever before.
