Hi all, I've scoured these message boards looking for a solution to this problem, but couldn't find a solution that worked. Hopefully someone can!
Toshiba Satellite C655-S5312
Edition: Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium (R) CPU B950@ 2.10GHZ
Installed Memory: 4.00 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
The problem I'm having is that my computer won't recognize my headphones or any other external audio device when I plug them in. The internal speakers continue to play no matter what. I used the jack fine one night and the next morning it wasn't working. I've checked these external devices with other computers and they work fine. My computer is just over a year old and no longer under warranty, but I can't imagine it being a hardware issue after such a short time of use. I had this problem before right after I got my computer back from a repair shop. Turns out the guy didn't reinstall my drivers. Now, when I tried to follow those same steps, I'm getting nowhere. I can say that I noticed that the available drivers on the Toshiba website have changed. Before it was RealTek and now, after updates, it' was SmartAudioHD and now High Definition Audio Device. I don't know if that bears any significance, but I thought I'd include that anyway. I've tried uninstalling the driver, but everytime I restart my computer it's there under Audio Device Manager. Tech Support said that my comp automatically adds the driver so I'll never really get rid of it. Does that make sense?
Troubleshooting steps so far:
1.) Uninstall and reinstall drivers (restarted my computer after)
2.) Control Panel---> Device Manager---> Sound, Video Games and Game Controllers---> High Definition Audio Device (was SmartAudio before updating driver during troubleshooting)---->right click and "Enable" is checked
3.) Control Panel---> Sound---> Playback Tab (in Sound Dialog Box)---> Speakers (HDAD) green check mark but Headphones (HDAD) red downward arrow and "Not Plugged In" (Can enable or test because it's not detected)
Am I missing a driver? Am I missing a vital step? Please someone help me!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey everyone I just got mine working. This is strange and I do not understand how it fixed it but I hope it helps you guys also.
Go to control panel > Sound > Recording tab at top > check to make sure stereo mixer is not disabled.
I dont even know why I bothered to click that and enable it I just didnt think anything should be disabled and low and behold my headphones work again.
P.S. At one point, when I first entered Sound under Control Panel this prompt came up:
"Windows has detected the audio enhancements for the following devises are causing problems:
Speakers (Conexant SmartAudio HD)
Would you like to disable driver enhancements for this device?"
No matter what I chose, it didn't fix the problem.
I have the same issue. Headphones worked fine until last week

I am having the same exact problem. Satellite L755d. Sound worked fine up until just a few minutes ago. I had downloaded latest realtek driver from toshiba about 2 days ago with the SRS Premium sound panel and everything seemed fine. I had just started my computer up and headphones was already plugged in. I heard the windows boot sound vut as soon as I opened an MP3 song, Sound stopped and the error "Windows has detected the audio enhancements for the following devises are causing problems"
System speakers work fine but no audio comes out via the headphone jack. I uninstalled my sound drivers and used every driver release on the website for my model. No good. Also tried realtek drivers direct from realtek website. Still no good. My laptop is about 2 years old and has been rock solid up until now.

i don't have a stereo mixer button
the problem is
my heapdphones are plugged in but it says not plugged in like
If you are using Windows 7, go into control panel click on sounds and make headphones default. When you are not using your headphones you will have to do this procedure again to restore speakers on the laptop or computer. I am using Microsoft Gaming Headphones and had to do this because my toshiba laptop did not recognize it was plugged into the USB port. I have no problems with the plain speaker headphones only the ones that plug into the usb port.

The growth of Chinese exports: an examination of the detailed trade data
Over the past decade, Chinese exports have boomed, increasing far faster than GDP growth. What can account for this explosion? Our paper uses finely detailed Chinese export data (8-digit HS codes) combined with U.S. trade data to explore this question. Although exchange rate policy clearly boosted the trade surplus, and the structure of the economy, e.g. abundant cheap labor, encouraged investment, these alone cannot account for the changing composition and acceleration of exports. We find that the growth in exports is most likely a product of effective Chinese industrial policy and fortuitous timing. The detailed trade data reveal that key "new" technology goods, such as cell phones, LCD screens, and laptops played a critical role. Finally, we use the data to examine the relationship between Chinese exports and global manufacturing, in particular U.S. manufacturing employment. We find that increased Chinese competition in both domestic and U.S. export markets likely lowered U.S. manufacturing employment between 2000 and 2007. Chinese policy is not, however, wholly responsible. Some job losses, such as in textile production, were no doubt the result of China's natural comparative advantages, while other U.S. job losses are attributable to relatively low investment and slow GDP growth in the United States following the 2001 recession.

Fruit fly
Fruit fly is one of the world's worst fruit pests and can destroy fruit and vegetables in commercial crops and home gardens.
Fruit Fly Hotline 1300 666 010
South Australia remains the only Australian mainland state that is fruit fly free ensuring:
- the protection of the state's commercial production of fruit and vegetables (in 2014–15, the estimated farm-gate value of the state's horticultural produce vulnerable to fruit fly infestation, including wine grapes, was $1.1 billion)
- horticultural producers' access to lucrative export markets (such as citrus and almond export markets in the United States, New Zealand and Japan worth about $120 million a year)
- an estimated $4.2 million a year saving for the citrus industry, by avoiding the need for cold and chemical treatments
- home grown fruit and vegetables requiring fewer pesticides.
Every year the South Australian Government spends about $5 million keeping fruit fly and other plant pests out of the state, through a range of prevention, detection and eradication measures.
These measures have made a significant contribution to the decrease in recorded fruit fly outbreaks in South Australia. In the past ten years the average number of outbreaks has been 1.8 per season, compared with the previous ten year average of 3.9 outbreaks per season.
South Australia remains under threat from a large number of fruit fly outbreaks in eastern states, so it is vital that prevention, detection and eradication measures continue.
A $3.8 million Sterile insect technology (SIT) facility will be built in Port Augusta to assist in the fight against fruit fly.
Fruit fly life cycle
More than 80 species of fruit fly are found in Australia, including the native Queensland fruit fly (Q-fly), which is endemic in the eastern states and the Northern Territory, and the introduced Mediterranean fruit fly (Med-fly), which is endemic in Western Australia.
Female fruit flies lay eggs in a wide range of fruits, vegetables and other plants including citrus, apples, pears, apricots, cherries, berries, bananas, capsicum, tomatoes, table grapes, wine grapes, olives and almonds.
Fruit fly larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs deposited in the fruit and vegetables, and feed on the fruit and vegetable flesh, thereby destroying it. They shelter in the soil before emerging as flies, which then feed and breed.
Fruit fly can spread from endemic areas to fruit fly free areas if fruit and vegetables infested with eggs or larvae are transported by travellers or in commercial consignments.
Points to remember
- If you are carrying fruit or vegetable produce when travelling into South Australia or the Riverland, eat it, bin it, or declare it.
- If you find maggots in fruit or vegetables, or suspect fruit fly or other plant pests or diseases, immediately call the fruit fly hotline on 1300 666 010.

Video: Arkansas DE Recruit Shatters Backboard
February 18th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Junction City (AR) High School defensive end JaMario Bell is committed to Arkansas for the Class of 2015. Based on what transpired on the hardwood between Junction City and Norphlet last Friday, Razorbacks men's basketball coach Mike Anderson might be wise to try and convince Bell to pull double duty.
On a fast break, the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Bell received a lob pass from a teammate, dunked it home and shattered the backboard. To quote Bill Raftery: "That's just inferior equipment and superior body strength!"

Ghost Tours
While prepping for a filmed interview about the National Building Museum collection, a Museum staff member seemed to disappear into thin air. Hank Griffith, chief preparator, was being interviewed about the institution's collection of artifacts dating back to the historic building's origins, when he was suddenly interrupted by a terrifying, booming sound. Thefilm crew observed Griffith exit the room to investigate when they heard a bloodcurdling shriek. Rosie Grant, digital marketing associate, and the rest of the crew ran to Griffith's aid only to see he'd disappeared.
The camera was rolling during this incident, although what exactly happened to Griffth occurred off screen. Griffith, Grant, and the crew returned to work the next day with no memory of the event, even after viewing the raw footage.
The Museum has posted the unedited footage with the hopes that by crowdsourcing, we may determine further clues as to what exactly occurred.
Footage found in the Museum Collections.
Experience the dark side of the National Building Museum
Ghost tours at the National Building Museum combine history, humor, and several hair-raising tales into a fun evening. Constructed between 1882 and 1887, the Museum's historic home was formerly the Pension Building and was frequently visited by war veterans. The National Building Museum collection houses many artifacts related to the building—plans, drawings, and tools—as well as some objects that defy easy explanation, including a collection of shoes found underneath the foundation, believed to have been buried to ward off evil spirits, and a plaster mask, thought to be a death mask dated from the late 1800s. Our building is spectacular, and eerie, with the lights out. Ghost tours are recommended for ages 10 and up.

NEW YORK - One of the most tumultuous weeks in the 216-year history of Wall Street closed with a dramatic two-day rally as investors celebrated an unprecedented government plan to cleanse banks of the bad mortgages that touched off a crisis in world finance.
The details of the rescue - not to mention how many hundreds of billions of dollars it will cost - remained a mystery, but investors snapped up stocks anyway in hopes the end of the credit crisis was near.
You would never have known it from the anxiety that gripped Wall Street and Washington, not to mention dinner tables across the nation, but stocks ended the week virtually unchanged, with the Dow Jones industrial average down 33.55 points for the week, or 0.3 percent. The Dow stood at 11,388.44 after Friday's trading, up more than 3 percent for the day.
As the closing bell sounded at the New York Stock Exchange, traders could finally pause and reflect on a week of operatic reversals of fortune and federal intervention that remade Wall Street itself.
Among the highlights: The Treasury extended an $85 billion loan to insurer American International Group. The government prepared to take over untold billions in toxic mortgage assets and placed a $50 billion safety net under money-market funds. Regulators banned some short-selling. Of the five major U.S. investment houses in existence at the start of the year, two remained intact and independent.
"This was like trying to put a wildfire out," said David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities.
On Friday, bond prices tumbled after investors rushed back into stocks from the relative safety of Treasury securities. The increase in the yields of bellwether two-year bonds meant investors think the economy is fundamentally stronger than it seemed Monday and they don't see a rate cut soon.
Still, some were skeptical of the government intervention.
"This is the biggest travesty the federal government has ever gotten involved with," said Jay Brew, chief bank strategist at M. Rae Resources Inc. "This is just going to lead to a much deeper and prolonged recession."
It wasn't clear how much the latest rescue would cost. Speaking to reporters, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the proposed relief program for troubled mortgage assets must be large enough to have an impact while protecting taxpayers as much as possible.
"I am convinced that this bold approach will cost American families far less than the alternative - a continuing series of financial institution failures and frozen credit markets unable to fund economic expansion," Paulson said.
Some people scratched their heads and questioned why Wall Street was being bailed out for risky bets it had earlier made profits on.
John Santisteban of Atlanta, a 58-year-old salesman for a security system company, said the government should ask for something in return from financial executives. "All their bonuses should have to be given back as part of the bailout package," he said.
It was an extraordinary week in Washington and New York. Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy and spooked Merrill Lynch, which fled into the arms of Bank of America Corp. in a planned all-stock deal valued at roughly $55 billion based on Friday's stock prices.
Financial stocks were pummeled early in the week, but the sector turned around after Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox announced a ban on some short-selling, one method of betting a stock will fall. The financial stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 ended Friday's trading up 10 percent and managed a gain for the week.

Tier 1 Military Simulation – JAWBREAKER and BLACKHEART DVD releaseBasho
Shot entirely on location at CopeHill Down. The main feature is 37 minutes of the best milsim ever undertaken in the UK! I had an inside track on the "serial" events, a first person perspective on the role play and took part in all the big actions – including the capture of the objective for the US team. All cut together with music and professionally coloured, this is a great film of how deep milsim can go.
Tier 1 Military Simulation – Operation JAWBREAKER writeupBasho
I have played many and been to many events where the organisers said they had reached the perfect balance point between real military exercises and a simple skirmish. I realise now that they either made the game too boring or little more than a skirmish with complex medic rules; milsim for the Xbox generation. In Operation Jawbreaker, Tier 1 also strived for that perfect balance themselves and in the most important respects I think that they came damn close to achieving it.
Tier 1 Military Simulation – Operation BLACKHEART promoBasho
This is a dual editor collaboration. The DVD will contain 2 x 30 minute renders of the footage from the game (one by me and one by Chris). We had filmmakers following both teams, capturing all the briefings, the serial events and all the action in the best FPS Basho tradition - quite a package!
Hong Kong City Blues – Special EditionBasho
This is a "Special Edition" of my Hong Kong at night film. The beautiful skyline of Hong Kong at night! Come with us through the brightly lit, and empty of people, Business District and then over the river to Kowloon Bay to look back. The buildings all come to life with colours and lights embedded in their structure that forms a fantastic light show. Finally we visit the vibrant and busy center of town and see some of the amazing flashing neon screens and lights around the streets thronged with people. Hong Kong is one of the cities that inspired the look of the film Blade Runner and so I have set the film to the score- hope you like it! […]
Tier 1 Military Simulation – Tier 1 – Year 1Basho
This film is a compilation of clips and unseen footage from the games I attended run by Tier 1 Military Simulation. Before 2011 I had not played much milsim, now... well I recently laid in a puddle from 1am, freezing cold and surrounded by poisonous mushrooms, for 8 hours to spring an ambush! I fell asleep and started snoring. Moments later I was awoken by a wet weight crashing down on my back. Team commander Trip had thrown a log at me, missed, hit a tree and it had collapsed a rotten limb across my sprawled form. Had the opposition walked past at that particular moment then they would have heard the rest of the concealed team completely failing to stop laughing.

Ground Zero Weekender 2010 – The DA TeamBasho
It was when I was sitting in the steam room at Virgin Active with 20 sweaty men all dressed in the same set of bright beach shorts, and making jokes about their penises, that something struck me as odd, "This has to be," I announced into the cloud of steam, which was being jetted into the room at an alarming rate and temperature, "the most surreal Ground Zero Weekender I have ever been to."
Sennybridge, a Basho film about "The Chernarus Conflict"Basho
To those of you who play computer games, the country of Chernarus may ring a few bells. As anyone who loves the Arma series of games from Bohemia Interactive will tell you Chernarus, or Black Russia, is a fictional post-USSR country somewhere in the East that is used as the main game location. TA Events have licensed the entire storyline from Bohemia meaning that players at the event could sign up to the various factions found in the series. When someone says that you should get out from behind the keyboard and get some exercise, these events enable you to re live the brilliant, in-depth storyline for (almost) real. A detailed account of the factions and background to the event can be found here and it has a very professional depth to it not usually available to airsofters.

Operation ZuluBasho
The DA's have played some unusual games over the years, but this was a first for us: this was the first time that we were asked to be a scripted opposition. The idea has a lot of merit if you think about it. Firstly, games often ebb and flow randomly. One side may gain the upper hand in an attack, but they loose too many men to reinforce the position and soon are driven back and it is the other team who are then on the offensive. Similar to a game of football. However, sometimes a team simply hammers all opposition to such an extent that the suffering team cannot fulfil their objectives at all. Sometimes they cannot get out of their safe zone. The game suddenly becomes unbalanced, tempers raise, cries of cheating go up and no fun is had at all. Well, at least none by the team getting a kicking.

The course examines the basic principles of labor law: a body of rulings, regulations, and legislative acts governing the rights of workers to form a union and collectively bargain over workplace terms and conditions. It focuses on the major federal legislation in this area - the National Labor Relations Act - as opposed to other laws governing workplace conduct (wage-hour, anti-discrimination, etc.), state laws, or those pertaining to public sector employees. The class covers the history of the Act, who is covered under its provisions, the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board and judicial review of its actions, how unions are formed, collective bargaining, unfair labor practices and the procedures to remedy same, and economic weapons used in labor disputes (strikes, boycotts, lock-outs, etc.). The class also analyzes labor law from a multi-disciplinary perspective, with attention given to psychology, economic history, politics, and emerging cultural trends (the rise of social media as a means of union organizing, for example). It is taught using a combination of lecture, case analysis, and classroom simulations. It is the goal of this course to provide the student a firm grounding in the basics of labor law, with a practical appreciation of the passions labor conflict generates.

I am a female 5'2 130lbs. These pants fit great not too tight but I don't feel like I'm wearing giant sweats either. They are very long on me but I cannot fault the pants for this bc I know I am shorter than their intended target. I just cuff them under and it's not issue. ... read more
My son is an elite gymnast and he loves these pants/shorts. They fit his body perfectly and allow him to move through all his routines at practice. Honestly, I've had to buy multiple pairs because he wears them ALL THE TIME. I wish they had them in more colors to have some variety. ... read more
I like the product but i'm about 5'1 around 108 lbs I picked a size large and it was too big. I probably should have gone medium. But I think i'll stick to Women's sizing. Other than being too big/long it's comfortable and the quality is nice. I'd recommend it (Just make sure you know your size!) ... read more
These shorts have a big white band at the bottom, one that didn't look as prominent online. I wanted shorts that were more plain, and the online photo didn't make it seem they were decorated so elaborately. I returned them. ... read more
It is a very good product. It's breathable and is great when scrimmaging or just wearing casually. The only problem is that is is a bit see through because it is such a light (in color and weight) material. On the website it says you can't use coupons with this, but I went to the store and was able to get 15% off! Try going to a store instead of online. ... read more

So I ordered a Kids Medium and it fit perfectly. I learned that a Youth Large is the same as a Kids Medium. ... read more
I bought an XL in the youth size and it fit big so I returned it and have yet to buy a smaller size but regardless of that, the material is extremely thin and it almost feels like a knock-off. Yea, it's light weight but it feels like it could wear down really easy. I thought for the price I'm paying, the material would feel worth the price but it does not. ... read more
I have to say, my kids absolutely love these pants BUT, they wear holes in them so easily. I have purchased three pairs of these in the last 2 months and neither of them can be worn to school any longer. There are holes in every knee. I have purchased other brands and this is not happening. For 40.00 per pant, the quality should be much better.

I find myself wearing these any time I get the chance in any weather or activity. I want a pair in every color! ... read more
These training pants are "fine." That's it; just fine. My sons have loved the Tiro 13 Training Pants for years and they've been quite popular with all their friends. I know companies are always looking to upgrade, but these are looser (read: more baggy) at the top and the sizes listed online do not fit the same as the Tiro 13s at all. We had to return all of ours for different sizes. This is one family, who along with a lot of our friends, are incredibly disappointed in the discontinuation of a line of useful clothing. ... read more
I got 2 pairs for my son. He wears them to soccer practice and around the house all the time. They look great, the color is vivid, the material moves and wear well. All around awesome shorts.

I purchased this for my 10 year old boy, who has recently become a soccer aficionado. He already owned the México Home Jersey, so we knew what to expect.

By Patrick Morris
Warren Buffett is perhaps the greatest investor of all time, and he has a simple solution that could help an individual turn $40 into $10 million.
Buffett is the CEO and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. With a net worth of around $US70 billion, Buffett is widely acknowledged as the world's greatest investor.
Coca-Cola is one of Buffett's favourite companies, and not just because it's his soft drink of choice. After dividends, stock splits, and patient reinvestment, someone who bought just $40 worth of Coca-Cola's stock when it went public in 1919 would now have more than $10 million.
The power of patience
I know that $40 in 1919 is very different from $40 today. However, even after factoring for inflation, it turns out to be $540 in today's money. Put differently, would you rather have an iPhone, or over $10 million?
But the thing is, it isn't even as though an investment in Coca-Cola was a no-brainer at that point, or in the near century since then. Sugar prices were rising. World War I had just ended a year prior. The Great Depression happened a few years later. World War II resulted in sugar rationing. And there have been countless other things over the past 100 years that would cause someone to question whether their money should be in stocks, much less one of a consumer-goods company like Coca-Cola.
The dangers of timing
Yet as Buffett has noted continually, it's terribly dangerous to attempt to time the market:
"With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen; you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when."
Forget about when to buy shares, focus on what shares to buy. And when you find the right company, buy it immediately. The right time to buy a great company is always today.
Investing for the long term
Investing is not like placing a bet on number 32 on the roulette wheel. Instead it's buying a tangible piece of a business.
It is absolutely important to understand the relative price you are paying for that business, but what isn't important is attempting to understand whether you're buying in at the "right time," as that is so often just an arbitrary imagination.
In Buffett's own words, "if you're right about the business, you'll make a lot of money," so don't bother about attempting to buy stocks based on how their stock charts have looked over the past 200 days. Instead always remember that "it's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price."
If you're interested in creating your own version of this story, it's essential to find investments that stand the test of time. To help out in your search, for a limited time we're sharing the names of two ASX companies that meet the stringent criteria our analysts require when seeking out incredible long term investing opportunities. Our analysts are calling it "Warren Buffett's Greatest Wisdom", and thousands of investors have already capitalised on similar research we've released. Make sure to access your free copy today by clicking here now.
This little known growth stock trades on a modest valuation and pays a very juicy fully franked dividend.

I URGE YOU TO GET THE GRACO NAUTILUS! We love it so very much!!! Both boys have one. I got my sister to get all 3 of her girls them and a friend of mine got them for her kids. Such a great carseat! It has little cubbies on both sides they can store toys in and a cupholder that they can actually reach too which is awesome. Here is a link:
It comes in other colors so look around. You won't regret it! My hubby even loves it. He is always saying how easy it is to take out and move if we need to. He doesn't mind doing it at all which is huge for him since he has always complained before LOL

"In parenthood, the days are long but the years are short."
We have a few boosters for the kids for grandparent cars and if you're thinking of putting your 4 year old in one I agree with the ladies above, I would not. My MIL threw my Sylvie's carseat away and went and bought a high-backed booster from Costco because it was from 30 pounds and up. I drove with her to the nearest toys r us to buy a real 5-point carseat because when she arrived at my house, my daughter had the belt for the booster all wrong, she isn't old enough to sit still so a car seatbelt holds her.
If you're looking for a 7 year old or something, I would say feel the cushiness of the seats, they vary quite a bit. My MIL got hers from Costco (the store, not the brand). for my son and it seems okay. I really like feeling them in person. Logan is still in a Britax in my car.

My ODS is in a Britax Frontier.
We looked at the Graco Nautilis as well and decided on the Britax.
Christie DS Jan 06 DS Oct 09
Whichever one you get, make sure the booster fits your kid well. Most 3-in-1 seats did poorly on the IIHS Booster seat fit test. www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr122209.html
The Graco Nautilis is on the 'other seats tested' page, because it only fits well for some kids.www.iihs.org/research/topics/booste...
Graco Nautilis!! Don't get the Britax Frontier! We have the Britax. It's the hardest seat to install ever! My friend got that Nautilis and I so wish we had chosen that one.
We have the Frontier too, and I would go for the Nautilus if I could do it over again. Not only is it hard to install, but the straps are really flimsy & supple and get twisted in the buckles. The fabric mesh wears easily and the $300 car seat looks like crap in no time.
Thanks ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jacob 1-5-06 Sophia 1-12-07
Guess I'm the only one loving the Britax....
We didn't have any installation problems and so far I don't have any concerns about how it's holding up. In side by side comparisons, we found the two carseat/booster seats to be quite comparable. I believe one of the reasons we didn't get the Nautilis was that it was REALLY heavy (especially compared to the Britax) and our carseats travel on airplanes and get lugged through the airports from time to time. We also found DS fits really well in the Britax. I would still buy a Britax again and in fact our other carseat is also a Britax as well (no wear problems on our other Britax carseat and DS was in it for about 2.5 years).
My suggestion, is to research them on line and then go to the store and test them out. We had DS sit in a number of them at ToysRus (they had a really good selection/variety of seats) and get a feel for how your child fits. I remember there was one seat (don't remember which one now), that the strap was already too small for my DS (and he's around 50th percentile for size) and it was already on its largest size.
Hope you find a great booster seat that fits your needs.

Investigators from the Malaysian government, the FBI, and Interpol have been working together to determine what exactly happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Fariq Ab Hamid, 27, the plane's co-pilot, was the last to communicate with air traffic control. The message was "All right, good night."
The last confirmed signal from the plane was sent to a satellite, but it was seven hours after it disappeared from radar, coming in at 8:11 a.m. local time.
Based on satellite data, the plane appears to have made a turn up the Strait of Malacca around the time it lost contact.
The turn that diverted the plane from its route was programmed into a computer system, most likely by someone in the plane's cockpit, according to a report in The New York Times, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced at a press conference Saturday that in light of recent developments, authorities expanded both search areas for the plane and investigations of the jetliner's crew and passengers.
The search for the missing plane is now focused on two corridors, hundreds of miles apart, on a vast arc stretching from Kazakhstan in Central Asia to the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean.
There's also a possibility that the plane was lowered to an altitude of 5,000 feet, too low to be picked up by radar.
As of Sunday, authorities determined that the plane's disappearance was a result of a deliberate action.
Investigators are looking into every member of Flight 370's passenger list and crew, determining who on board the plane had flight experience.
China's ambassador to Malaysia said Tuesday background checks on the Chinese nationals aboard the missing plane have found no links to terror.
On Tuesday, U.S. officials said an initial search of the pilots' personal computers and e-mails found nothing to indicate any planned deviation in the aircraft's route.
The officials said they had also reviewed cockpit conversations between the plane and air traffic controllers and found nothing suspicious or anything to explain why the aircraft changed course.
Neither the pilot nor the co-pilot asked to fly together, reducing the possibility that the two pilots coordinated a plan to hijack the flight, officials said.
Flight simulators were reportedly found in the homes of two crew members: Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah and a flight attendant who was also on board.
After analyzing Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah's activity on the flight simulator, investigators did not find anything that might suggest he was practicing how to make an aircraft undetectable.
News of the plane's change in direction has given the families of the missing passengers and crew hope that they may still be alive — as well as new fears about what condition they're in if the plane didn't crash.

Sentiment: Strong Sell
Flame, I beg to disagree. I was not looking for a car, but GM recalled my Impala (6 years old) so I took it in and had them check it out. While in service, I enjoyed the coffee, tea and softdrink bar, the free computer usage and internet and the free wifi. While there, I looked at the new Impala's 2014's, Oh My God, the prices were $32,000 - $39,000, I test drove a demo and took it home as a loaner while the warranty work done. Then they gave me the price on the demo, which had 5,350 miles on it, and had the old price sticker of $30,800, Impala LT, loaded with everything. I got the car for $22,800 cash price after all the discounts, rebates, gmcard cash, etc. I BOUGHT A CAR AND I HAD NO INTENTION TO DO SO. I could not believe the discount they gave me and then the cash for my used car, was $11,300, which I sold to them after I bought the car. They put it on the lot with $13,999 tag on it, AS IS NO WARRANTY, only 24,854 miles and in perfect condition, black leather 2LT, silver metallic. I paid $22,800 - 11,300 = $11,500 for a new 2014 never titled Chevy Impala LT. Blue book wholesale is $27,454 for the 2014. I can use this for two years and trade in with no loss.
HEY DR. KLUMPS......I passed on your message. As The Flame is out on the boat getting everything ready in the Harbor for the fireworks out on the ocean. This is the temporary short reply......
Hey there, I like your analysis. Sounds like you made out. I've long been a fan of many chevys....buick..
monte carlo.. I had a 63 vette, a 57 wagon, a malibu SS, and so forth....HOWEVER...With all the concessions you mention, all the recalls, and GM's history, I see them having a tough time on the bottom line. Lots of competition...and those recalls will HURT BIG TIME. I almost hope to be wrong... but I'm thinking long term 12-18 months...and look forward to chatting as time goes... we shall see. Regards...BB soon.....HAPPY 4TH.
"She sells sea shells down by the seashore"
I had the same first impression. But when they got hit with the ignition switch thing, they decided to use it to drive traffic to the showroom and to make a marketing pitch to 2,3 4,5,6 year holders of GM vehicle to trade for a modern 2014, lots and lots of people took them up on the deals, there was on 2 Chevy Impalas on the lot on June 3, from May 3, out of 33 new ones at May 3. They sold everything out, when I went back on June 16, they had one Chevy Impala 2014 left. This was a market play that was almost like the battle of midway during world war II.. They cleaned up on sales and got rid of the 2014's pretty early. BIG PLUS here, I think GM is a buy.

eat paleo for health. 100%
My weight is a symptom of my very bad reaction to modern foods (that's why I don't eat beans- because they are poison),so it's all one kit n caboodle.
In God we trust; all others must bring data. W. Edwards Deming

eat paleo for health. 100%
Weight and health but once my awareness was raised can't imagine ever going back.
Sent from my PG06100 using Marks Daily Apple Forum mobile app
To stay healthy and slim
You forgot the 3rd reason - its delicious.
Combo of weight and health for me. But the weight part is diminishing and the health part dominates over time.
I was losing weight on low carb, so I'd already cut grains, beans, potatoes and sugar as I've done before. If I'd stayed with low carb, I'd probably have added them back (Again) when I felt I'd lost enough weight. But reading about primal and paleo taught me that it's not just about the carb content and that there are other reasons to remove plant toxins from my diet. Cutting dairy was purely for health. So I found primal/paleo through seeking weight loss, but will be staying for the health benefits.
Me, My Father and The Alzheimer's - http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread84213.html
Both. Optimal health naturally includes non-obesity. You've seen my recent pictures. I'm not fat, or terribly thin, just a little strong. I also have no issue with gaining a few pounds now and then, as long as it's just a "survival-sized" spare tire. It's loading my body with micronutrients that I really keep an eye on. I'll do near-zero carb sometimes, but as soon as it's over, I'm packing in the berries and seaweed, dandelion (cooked!), oysters and more. Health first! I'd rather be fat and healthy (should such a definable thing exist) than thin and sickly any day.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
In truth, I was only able to lose weight once I decided to give up trying to lose weight and focus on living a healthy, balanced life.
I found my way here over a year after having lost weight by sticking to whole foods. What got me here was learning I had PCOS, doing research on the cause (insulin-resistance), and searching for a diet that would help. It worked!
Last edited by miniGrokette; 06-03-2013 at 01:18 PM.
Although I do need to lose about 60 pounds, I started following a Primal lifestyle for my health, not to lose weight. I could have chosen to lose weight a number of different ways, but I decided on this path specifically because I think it's the best for my health, even if it's not necessarily the best for my weight loss.
The good news is, I am dropping weight like crazy eating this way! I think it IS the best way

Unsung Heroes of the Supermarket Cooler
this wreath on Etsy, I was kind of smitten. The statice looks ethereal and charming rather than… well, dead or old. • Ferns. Generally relegated to filler status, ferns are gorgeous as the focal element in a bouquet, whether on their own or paired with color. I love bouquets with mixed varieties of ferns — maidenhair, sword fern, tree fern — for a play on textures and different shades of green. • Leucadendron. Maybe you don't know what leucadendron is by name, but you'd probably know it if you saw it, since this amazing plant has become a popular, over-used filler in tropical and "exotic" bouquets. Leucadendron is one of my absolute favorite plants to work with; it comes in a staggering array of colors, textures, and shapes, from silvery and soft to deep red, stiff and structural. The tulip-shaped heads are perfect for filling in holes, and because they're often multi-headed, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Try pairing leucadendron with flowers that don't at all scream tropical or exotic. In the pictured bouquet (fifth photo), I used farmers' market anemones; the leucadendron (from my garden) is the lovely red accent flower. The next photo includes leucadendron too... it's the white flower with the crazy deep red center. • Palm leaves. We tend to take palm fronds for granted, too, as filler for tropical bouquets. But these also come in endless shapes, sizes, and colors, and if you choose to highlight their unique forms rather than hide them, they'll work to your advantage. I love a little hint of a spiky palm frond mixed in with lots of other textures, adding a kind of asymmetrical fan shape to an arrangement. • Hypericum. These berries tend to look dated when coupled with the standard lilies or irises, but I love them in other contexts. In the pictured bouquet, they're yanked right into the 21st century when paired with florals in the same color family for a monochromatic arrangement full of interesting textures. What are some of your favorite unsung beauties of the supermarket cooler?

Starbucks to ban smoking within 25 feet of cafes
NEW YORK — Starbucks customers will soon have to stamp out their cigarettes before approaching the cafes.
The Seattle-based chain says it will start banning smoking within 25 feet of its stores, beginning Saturday, where permitted by its leases.
Starbucks spokeswoman Jaime Lynn Riley says the intent is to expand the indoor no-smoking policy to the outdoor seating areas.
"If there were any concerns, we would hope to resolve it amicably." Riley said, referring to a customer who might be smoking within the restricted area.

Scottish novelist Iain Banks has died
When Scottish novelist Iain Banks announced in April that he had an inoperable form of cancer, his large online following responded with affection and dismay.
"There can have been few novelists of recent years who were more aware of what their readers thought of their books; there is a frequent sense in his novels of an author teasing, testing and replying to a readership with which he was pretty familiar," wrote The Guardian's John Mullan in his obituary piece on Banks, who died Sunday at age 59. »Read Full Blog Post

M arnie: Hi, Buzz, how was your holiday?
Buzz: Aggravating. I ran out of vermouth. Again.
Marnie: Vermouth is definitely a staple for holiday parties, in both colors - the sweet red and dry white - because they are essential ingredients in so many classic cocktails. But why do you always run out? Do you cook with it?
Buzz: No. I run out because Manhattans are the only way I can get through the holidays with my family and the in-laws. And you can't have a Manhattan without vermouth. What's in that stuff anyway? Vermouth berries?
