Tomorrow never comes, but the next post will
Empty thoughts, empty spaces
The stare of all the empty faces.
What's the point as time goes on
The weight on my shoulders feels a ton
each day gone by
another blue sky

So the enigma travels on
to try and reach the morning's dawn
but each step is is just another tally
and yet the path won't let us dally

Air Canada to get more flexibility on maintenance, union upset
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada announced on Thursday it would give Air Canada (AC.TO: Quote) more leeway to decide where its planes are maintained, prompting union protests that the move could cost thousands of jobs.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau said Air Canada, currently bound by a 1988 law spelling out where in Quebec, Manitoba and Ontario it must carry out maintenance, needed more flexibility to be competitive.
He unveiled proposed changes to the law, known as the Air Canada Public Participation Act, that would give Air Canada more say in deciding where the work is done and permitting some to be carried out abroad.
"We're allowing Air Canada to compete internationally in this respect because ... it is important for them to be able to play on more of a level playing field," Garneau told reporters.
Quebec, citing the original act, had launched a lawsuit against Air Canada for not doing enough maintenance in the province. It dropped the case last month after the airline agreed to buy jets from Montreal-based Bombardier Inc (BBDb.TO: Quote) and service them in Quebec for 20 years.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said it would press the federal Liberal government to change its mind.
"The Liberals are on the verge of changing a law which will confirm the loss of thousands of jobs ... they have just given carte blanche to Air Canada," the union's Quebec coordinator David Chartrand said in a statement.
A spokesman for Garneau said the 1988 act was outdated and in places referred to facilities and jobs that did not exist anymore. He also noted Air Canada had struck a separate deal last week with Manitoba to end litigation over the amount of work done there. Continued...

Five years ago, the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car took the auto industry by storm. Now comes the sequel, Revenge of the Electric Car, and it is being embraced by the industry. The new film follows four companies' executives and the development of their electric cars. They include General Motors' Bob Lutz and the Chevrolet Volt; Nissan's Carlos Ghosn and the electric Leaf; Tesla's Elon Musk and the creation of the electric roadster; and a start-up firm headed by Greg Abbott in Culver City, Calif.
Who Killed and Revenge, the original and sequel, are polar opposites, yet done by the same true believer, director Chris Paine. The contrast:
Still, Revenge is a must-see movie for anyone interested in cars. With automakers now quaking in fear that they know how badly Paine could make them look, they grant him full access. Yet given the Occupy Wall Street protests and backlash against corporations, the new film seems out of touch with the anger of the times.

Jaggard Tulane University Vijay Ramachandran Yale University firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com Introduction Two formalisms presented at SIGCOMM'03 model the behavior of path-vector protocols, e.g., BGP (the standard Internet inter-domain routing protocol): • Path-Vector Policy Systems (PVPS) [GJR '03] • Path-Vector Algebras [Sobrinho '03] Both were used to derive a mixture of local and global constraints that guarantee convergence. This paper establishes the relationship between the models and constraints. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 2 Problem: Protocol Divergence BCD BD BCD CD B C BD CBD BD D 15 March 2005 D CBD CD CD D Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 3 Method: Formally Model Behavior Goal: Understand the role of input routing policies on convergence. • Can policies be limited to those that guarantee convergence, and how (if at all) can that set of policies be described? • What are the trade-offs? Formal models allow rigorous analysis and design at different levels of abstraction. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 4 Three Levels of Abstraction Sets of Protocols Path-Vector Algebras [Sob. '03] A description of the most important criteria involved in determining best routes. Does not include implementation details, e.g., a route advertisement is considered an atomic action. Protocols Path-Vector Policy Systems (PVPS) [GJR '03] A combination of message-passing system (protocol), policy language, and global constraint. The underlying path-vector system models import & export policies, path selection, and route data structures. Networks Instances of the Stable Paths Problem (SPP) [GSW '02] A routing configuration, indicating the preference order of permitted paths on a given network. Solutions are consistent assignments; unique solutions give predictable convergence to a stable assignment. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 5 Modeling Protocol Dynamics Route information to be shared Transformations during advertisement Policies affecting what is imported A Policies affecting what is exported C Path-selection procedure B 15 March 2005 Preference settings based on local policy Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 6 Model Components and Properties Algebra Signatures Edge Labels Path/Label Operator Weight Function Monotonicity Isotonicity 15 March 2005 PVPS Path Descriptors Policies (import + export) Policy Application Path Selection (by rank) Increasing rank on extension Order-preserving extension Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 7 Monotonicity and Isotonicity Path P has signature s1 or descriptor d1 Path Q has signature s2 or descriptor d2 A Edge has label la or policies fain, faout !(P) ≥ !(Q) implies !(tin(fain, tout(faout, P))) ≥ !(tin(fain, tout(faout, Q))) C Path R has signature s3 or descriptor d3 B 15 March 2005 Isotonicity: f(s1) ≥ f(s2) implies f(la + s1) ≥ f(la + s2); or Edge has label lb or policies fbin, fbout Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 Strict Monotonicity: f(lb + s3) > f(s3) or !(tin(fbin, tout(fbout, R))) > !(R) 8 Main Convergence Results Path-vector protocols will converge • robustly on network configurations in which all routes can be partially ordered consistent with nodes' preferences and path extension (strict monotonicity). • optimally on network configurations in which the preference ordering for paths extended along the same network edge is preserved (isotonicity). These results can be translated between the models' various levels of abstraction. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 9 Translating Between Levels BGP Protocols using length Shortest Paths Both, primarily loc. pref. Protocols using local preference For both, some network instances are convergent Robust protocols Shortest Paths with preference tie-breaking 15 March 2005 Both, primarily length Monotone preferences with length tie-breaking Strictly monotone preferences Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 Monotone (or arbitrary) preferences 10 Mapping Between Algebras and PVPSes The expressiveness of an algebra or PVPS is the set of SPP equivalence classes representing possible network configurations. Given an algebra, we can construct a canonical PVPS that is exactly as expressive. Given a PVPS, we can construct a canonical algebra that describes the same rank criteria. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 11 Trade-offs in Implementation The algebra can be used to study convergence properties at an abstract level and suggest convergence constraints, independent of specific implementation details. The PVPS framework models more implementation details (e.g., built-in route transformations separate from policies). Thus, trade-offs among enforcing the convergence constraints and other desirable properties not modeled at the abstract level (e.g., autonomy and transparency) can be studied. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 12 Summary Algebras and PVPSes are models of path-vector protocols at different levels of abstraction. The models have been used to derive equivalent notions of constraints that guarantee certain convergence properties: • Strict monotonicity gives robust convergence. • Isotonicity gives optimal convergence. 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 13 Sample Applications of our Translation Added notion of expressiveness to algebras Added optimal convergence results to PVPS Can produce canonical representation of one framework in another Demonstrated various methods to implement a convergence constraint Better understanding of the role of path preference orders, in general 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 14 Open Questions for Future Work Analyzing interaction between eBGP and iBGP (we're working on it!) More examples of interesting algebras and protocols and their convergence properties • Describe properties using most appropriate formalism • Translate between them for specific problems Necessary conditions for convergence Using constraints and implementation methods to design policy-configuration languages 15 March 2005 Jaggard and Ramachandran — INFOCOM 2005 15

Hey everyone
I just uploaded my first Youtube video, nothing to do with CPs. In fact, it's more of a gameplay/walkthrough, and I'd really like to know what you guys think. Am I really bad? Are my little sarcastic remarks unnecessary? It's my first one, and I hope to do more! Thanks if you offer criticism, positive or negative!
Yeah, I feel really awkward about this...

'I was born to do this," Geoffrey Fieger says. "I know it sounds conceited, but I'm positive Muhammad Ali felt the same way. And I'm positive Wayne Gretsky, at some point, knew that he was as good or better than any other hockey player, ever."
Much of what Fieger says is conceited or self-aggrandising. Not that he needs to talk himself up. His record speaks for itself.
With a string of multi-million dollar civil verdicts under his belt, he is one of America's most visible lawyers. Once the ardent courtroom defender of assisted suicide practitioner, Dr Jack Kevorkian, and fresh from his victory against US TV's The Jenny Jones Show, Fieger is now representing the family of Isaiah Shoels, a victim of the Columbine High School massacre.
Fieger, a suntanned 48-year-old, is as famous for his bombastic style as his impressive results. He held the nation captive during the televised Jenny Jones trial; they were transfixed by his in-your-face style, rhetoric and shouting.
The network's ratings more than doubled during his performance, with more than 400,000 viewers.
The trial was a $25m (£15.6m) triumph for his client, the family of Scott Amedure, a gay man who revealed on the TV talk show that he had a crush on his neighbour Jonathan Schmitz. Schmitz, who was surprised by the revelation, later shot and killed Amedure.
TV audiences tuned in daily to watch the lawyer interrupt witnesses, insult the defence attorneys and, on one occasion, ask the poised talk show host a particularly inappropriate question about whipped cream. He does not give a fig for courtroom etiquette, or consistency. "Audience ratings drive everything they do," he ranted. This from the lawyer who pinned a clown nose on a blown-up photograph of a prosecutor in the Kevorkian case and called him a "certified, raving loon".
The lawyer-turned-celebrity is still a very American concept. Maybe because TV cameras are not allowed in courtrooms in England, such characters, who see playing up to the camera as part of their role, have yet to rear their head over here.
Fieger's brash approach is a winner with jurors as well as TV viewers. He has a legendary ability to manipulate people's emotions and has a cult following outside the courtroom.
The tall, limp-haired lawyer, who is said to fuss over his appearance and has a penchant for blue pinstripe suits, recently signed on to be a celebrity guest host on Court TV. He also has his own controversial drive-time radio show in Detroit, called Fieger Time.
He secured his slot on the airwaves after losing a bid last year to become governor of Michigan. He now uses it to spout his views to the nation, and in the first installment of the show, announced that the local archdiocese was "out getting training in Spain on the rack".
A rich man, Fieger spent $6m (u3.75m) of his own money on Michigan's gubernatorial race. (pictured above with his wife Keenie) Observers say it will not be long before he is back in the political ring. He is toying with running for US Senate next year, or entering the race for governor again.
"I don't particularly like running for office," he says, wearily. "That was kinda distasteful. Despite the common misconceptions and the characterisations made of lawyers, it is an exceedingly honourable profession and it's an intellectual profession, whereas politics is filled with sociopaths."
His goal is "to lead". He wants "to be in a position where I can do good things for people". Fieger's self-righteous, evangelical style terrifies critics. For them, the Jerry Springer-style lawyer sunk to a new low when he announced he was suing the parents of the Columbine High School gunmen for $250m (£156.25m). The complaint alleges they were negligent in their "duties and responsibilities of parental supervision by omission and inaction". Never one to miss an opportunity for hyperbole, Fieger warns the teenage mass shooting is a "harbinger of worse things to come".
Critics have accused Fieger of using a devastated family as a prop to score political and moral points. They say his pronouncements make him sound more like a prophet, or an aspiring politician, than a lawyer filing a lawsuit. Fieger defends his style by saying that suing and making changes to society through court cases is a US tradition: "This is the American way," he says.
Some say Fieger is on a path of self-destruction. Thomas Kienbaum, former president of the state bar of Michigan, sought to have him sanctioned by the state bar. "He engages in the kind of behaviour that's way over the line," he says.
"He's gone out of his way to humiliate his opponents. He's been slapped by the bar for judge-shopping, and he accused a state appeals judge of getting his law degree in the mail when he upheld a decision against Kevorkian."
For nine years, he defended Kevorkian, managing to get his client acquitted three times by parading the sympathetic relatives of his patients before the juries and probing them for emotional details.
Kevorkian was sent to prison after a tape of him giving lethal drugs to a terminally ill man was shown on primetime TV. Observers say his fate could have been avoided if he had allowed Fieger to defend him again, rather than defending himself. The pair became very close, but Fieger broke contact.
"One of the great untold stories is that he was a man with personal demons," he says.
"There was something within his psychological make-up that didn't want to succeed, or perhaps made him want to become a martyr."
The role of saviour is one that appeals to Fieger. "The highest calling of the law is to effect change in our society," he says. That is what persuaded him to represent an assisted suicide practitioner when no other lawyer would.
"I galvanised the world," he says. "I changed things. All that Kevorkian was ever saying was that free adults should have the autonomy to decide how much they have to suffer without the government having a role in that decision."
Of all his triumphs, Fieger says he is most proud of his work in the Kevorkian case. But he talks about his handling of the Jenny Jones trial with the same missionary zeal. And to think, he might have given it all up to become governor of Michigan. "What if I'd won?" he asks, horrified. "Somebody else would've done that trial, and they wouldn't have done it as well."
The dilemma he faces is whether to switch law for politics. "It's the biggest problem I have," he sighs. "It's like telling John Lennon that he can't play the guitar anymore. It's kind of a waste."
Self-promotion is something Fieger does well. "It's a combination of steak and sizzle," says Henry Baskin, a US lawyer with a celebrity client list. He is one of many lawyers who holds Fieger in high regard.
Beneath the bluster, they say, is a generous human being. "Fieger's unsurpassed at getting publicity," says Yale Kamisar, a criminal law professor at the University of Michigan. "He'll pull out all the stops to represent his clients."
"Don't be misled by the media performances," says Mayer Morganroth, a Michigan lawyer who co-defended Kevorkian and is an old friend of Fieger's. "He is a well-prepared and excellent lawyer."
Some say Fieger's drive springs from his desire to add to the legacy of his father, Bernard, a fiery civil rights lawyer who represented black Americans in the 1950s South. When they practised law together, if Fieger won a million dollar case in the morning, his father would demand to know what he did in the afternoon. His mother, June, was a teacher and union organiser, who always carried a picket sign in the back of her car. His brother, Doug, was a musician and a member of The Knack, who had the 1970s hit My Sharona.
As a teenager, Fieger played in a band with his brother. "I liked girls, I liked school and I didn't want to go to work," he says, adding he became a lawyer by default. "I didn't want to be my dad."
But after a few days at law school, Fieger was hooked. He was a natural at getting people to side with him, and making those who did not look foolish. "The money never drove me, never," he insists. "I love my job. It's not work to me. Anybody who thinks they can go into a courtroom and lie to a jury is nuts."
Fieger has turned himself into a celebrity in the US, a term which he does not shy from. "The skills I have as a lawyer don't translate into the skills I have in terms of interaction with the media," he says.
"I just happen to have an ability to use and to function in the media."
He prefers to think of his courtroom skills as an art form. "It feels like an artist must feel when they render a painting, or a sculpture, or when they write a great play. That's the way I feel when I approach a case."
But there is a downside to being a celebrity. "The part that is most discomforting is the loss of privacy," he says. He resents people staring in restaurants, or when he wanders unshaven into a local coffee shop, he says. His wife of 16 years does not enjoy it much either. "It detracts from my relationship," he says.
But with fame has come fortune, and the couple own four houses, including one in Anguilla. Finding time to visit them is what Fieger finds hard. He has been so busy clocking up courtroom victories in the past year, that "I haven't had a chance to catch my breath", he says.
He has no time for those who resent his celebrity status and abhor his courtroom circus act. "I can't conform to what other people want me to be," he says. "I recognise that I step on people's toes, I recognise that some people find it offensive. But my reaction is, tough luck. Firstly, it's obviously been successful. And secondly, I've got to live in my skin."

I went to a body image support group thingy tonight and I wish I hadn't, 'cause now I have a choice: to keep going and be opened up to healing and a fuller life, or to close off and keep my "hurt". It's up to me completely. So will I be a coward or courageous?
The group leader talked to me afterword, asking me about my relationship with food, my parents, etc. And I talked, stupid me, I actually talked. And now I'm terrified. So scared. I will be lost if I share this part of me with anyone or anything. I will lose myself.
But the choice is mine.
Help me, somebody!! Something is so desperately wrong, despite the fact I keep denying it… but what's wrong?!?!! NOTHING!! Literally every time I try to figure it out I can't come to anything. I'm eating and I'm not cutting, so nothing's wrong.
Help me.
Help ME!!!

The Ryanair boss's latest provocative cost-saving suggestion appears to have stirred up near mutiny among his crew. Mr O'Leary argues that it is time to ditch the co-pilot because "the computer does most of the flying now".
One of his own pilots has taken the unprecedented step of responding in kind, flagging up the idea that Mr O'Leary, arguably the most commercially successful airline boss in history, is equally expendable.
In a letter to the Financial Times today the budget airline's Captain Morgan Fischer, who trains other pilots at the carrier's Marseilles base, writes: "I would propose that Ryanair replace the chief executive with a probationary cabin crew member earning around 13,200 a year. Ryanair would benefit by saving millions of euros in salary, benefits and stock options. Further, there will be no need to petition Boeing or governmental aviation regulators for approval to replace the CEO with cabin crew member: as such approval would not be required."
Fortunately for Captain Fischer, Mr O'Leary appears to have decided to play along. Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said: "Michael thinks cabin crew would make a far more attractive CEO than him — this obviously isn't a very high bar — so we are going to look seriously at the situation. After all if we can train cabin crew to land the plane, it should be no problem training them to do Michael's job as well."Reuse content

ORLANDO – June 24, 2014 – Today Orange County Commissioner S. Scott Boyd was appointed by Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs to the new Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), which replaces the now-dissolved Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA).
"I am honored to be appointed to the Central Florida Expressway Authority board," said Orange County Commissioner S. Scott Boyd, who represents District 1.

"I look forward to using my years of leadership experience with MetroPlan Orlando, the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC) and the West Orange/South Lake Transportation and Economic Development (WOSLTED) Task Force to successfully collaborate with neighboring county leaders."
As outlined in the bill language, membership on the new authority will be constituted of nine members: The chairs of the boards of the County Commissions of Seminole, Lake and Osceola Counties shall each appoint one member, who may be a commission member or chair. The Mayor of Orange County shall appoint a member from the Orange County Commission. The Governor shall appoint three citizen members, each of whom must be a citizen of Orange County, Seminole County, Lake County or Osceola County. The eighth member must be the Mayor of Orange County. The ninth member must be the Mayor of the City of Orlando. The executive director of Florida Turnpike Enterprise shall serve as a nonvoting advisor to the governing body of the authority.

The vote for the candidates on the 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame is without a doubt historical because of two salient and unavoidable facts: One is that this year's ballot is overstuffed with potential Hall of Fame candidates—presenting an even bigger logjam to entrance to the Hall—and the other is that this year's vote is an inescapable referendum on the stance toward the "Steroids Era" as even more players active during the period of the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s implicated with performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) are newly eligible.
Note: Part 1 of this two-part series goes into detail—considerable detail—to examine both the overstuffed ballot and, more comprehensively, the atmosphere of moral dudgeon surrounding the suspected and admitted usage of PEDs by players on previous ballots and especially by players eligible for the Hall for the first time this year. If you want only to read the players' evaluations, skip to Part 2.

California teacher's inappropriate tweets about her students
When it comes to school, it's not just the kids that sometimes need to be failed ... it's the teachers too.
Krista Hodges, who teaches at Newark Memorial High School in Newark, California, just can't seem to stop tweeting wildly inappropriate things about her students.
A sample of Hodges tweets include:
- "I already want to stab some kids. Is that bad?"
- "So happy to be done w/school for 10 days, but especially to be away from the ones who truly try my patience & make my trigger finger itchy."
- "The problem w/teaching summer school is I'm gonna get all the (expletive) who failed my class, 2 of whom I wish would get hit by a car."
The school board is not happy, to say the least, and is looking into disciplinary actions for Hodges, who still claims that, "Everyone knows I'm one of the most liked teachers on campus. And that's because I form meaningful and long-lasting relationships with my students."

Kerry Heid Presents at IEEE IAS ESTMP Workshop 2014
"Criticality of Electrical Maintenance Programs and the new CSA Z463"
Held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the presentation addressed the CSA Z463-13 Guideline on Maintenance of Electrical Systems, the newest developed recommended practices to improve safety for workers and protect property through the adoption and systematic application of maintenance strategies for electrical equipment.
"It has become evident that one of the most important aspects of an electrical safety program is a strong understanding of what is required for electrical maintenance. Establishing safe working zones, incident energy values and associated arc flash boundaries hinge on the proper operation of the electrical protection and switching components,"
The presentation provided an in depth look at Z463 and covered key maintenance topics such as justification for maintenance, maintenance strategies and the elements of an electrical maintenance program.
"Organizations can use the CSA Z463 Guideline to optimize the integration of other programs and systems, such as hazardous energy lockout control programs and workplace electrical safety programs, and integrate it into their business management systems for critical equipment maintenance strategies,"
The CSA Z463 guideline is meant to join and work alongside the maintenance practices and electrical safety standards of NETA Standards, Maintenance Testing Specifications and NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance.
Based in Saskatchewan, Magna Electric Corporation is a leading Canadian electrical power system engineering, testing, construction, manufacturing and commissioning service company. MEC is a division of Shermco Industries, North America's leading independent provider of electrical services to energy, utility, infrastructure and industrial companies. With service centers located throughout North America, certified technicians and engineers focus on servicing both scheduled and unexpected projects for large commercial, industrial and utility customers.

Sick Enough!
Have you heard of what is commonly called the "sick enough" syndrome?
Be glad if you haven't.
Here's a writing of sorts, written about one of the most frustrating - and yet compelling - mindsets out there.
Sick Enough!
It starts out itty bitty
But then begins to grow
Comparisons of pain
Self-evaluating sickness
She just wanted to be sick enough.
Pain is discredited
Waved aside by its recipient
She delves more deeply
To become more miserable.
She just wanted to be sick enough.
Sick enough to deserve
People's love and help
To deserve anything
Given to her.
She just wanted to be sick enough.
No help could be
Received without guilt
For her pain wasn't real
Not real enough.
She just wanted to be a little sicker...
Self-induced misery
Psychological and physical
Didn't consider herself a self-harmer
Because she never actually cut.
She just wanted to be a little sicker...just a little sicker...
Nobody around her
Could convince her
She discounted their words
She didn't know pain.
Just a little sicker, and then she'd deserve pity!
Diving deep again
Immersion in condemnation
She hurt herself
To see if she was sick enough.
God help her, all she wanted was to be sick enough!
The fact that she wondered
The fact that she doubted her pain
The fact that she wasn't satisfied
Until she was as miserable as possible
The fact that she was broken
The fact that she denied it all
The fact that others recognized her pain
Even if she didn't herself
The fact that she wanted to be sick enough
Proves that she was sick enough!

text: After much research on this issue I am pleased to say I found a fix that works. This method may also work for other ATI radeon HD cards as well. Follow these instructions closely and be sure not to deviate to much from them. I just installed Windows 8 Release Preview on my laptop, and as expected I stumbled upon driver incompatibilities. My laptop (Toshiba Satellite) runs on a ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 series and like everybody else I got a lot of graphic bugs in most of the games I tried running. The problem of course lies with Microsoft's preinstalled drivers witch do not seem to work as they should.In order to fix this you must install older display drivers witch of course you can't because window's won't let you( the stock ones keep reinstalling automatically). After spinning my head I came up with this few simple steps to overwrite Microsoft's stock drivers.It may seem a little complicated at first but trust me if you follow the step's you are as good as you can be Step 1: Make sure you have the older graphics drivers (the ones that you are sure they work).Unpack them somewhere on your HDD for later use(don't install just unpack, the idea is to have access to the .inf files for your driver) Step 2: Open Device Manager (Control Panel) & locate your display adapter (you should see some Microsoft's stock drivers installed here) Step 3: Right click "properties" and go to "events" tab. Here you should see a list of the latest events (which driver installed & when). Search for the file that has the .inf extension ( in my case it was "atiilhag.inf"). Step 4: Go to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository (this is where Microsoft stores all the default drivers for windows) and search for the file you found earlier (using windows search).Once you found it open the folder that contains the file & copy it to another location (for backup purposes).This file contains information about which driver to install (open it and look around you should see information on the driver version and other stuff we don't need). Step 5: Go to the folder where you unpacked your older drivers( the ones that work).There you should see alot of files and folders.Here you must search for the location of the .inf files (mine were located in a folder named "Packages", but it may differ from software provider to provider). The goal is to locate the .inf file for your older driver. Once you found it open it, it should be almost the same as the one you found in the driver repository folder earlier( the driver version will differ of course) but probably it will have a different name. Rename this file to match the .inf file from windows and copy it to the folder where where you found Microsoft's .inf file (in the Driver Repository). Step 6: Go back to device manager and uninstall the current display driver (right click: uninstall). This should switch your screen resolution to a lower one(so you know the driver got uninstalled). After this right click any item in the device manager and click "scan for hardware changes". This will refresh your hardware list and a new item will apear (your graphics card, marked as unknown device. Right click it and select "update driver software" select "browse my computer" and browse to the folder where you unpacked your older graphic's driver (the folder where you found your.inf file). It should now install your older display driver without any problems. Hope this will help somebody, I tried to be as explicit as I could. !!!!! Please note not to use the setup exe to install the graphics software for the video driver. When you unpack the exe file, follow these steps but do not click the install button, just hit cancel. This will mean that you've extracted the files but have not installed the driver or software. Once you have used these steps to get the driver working, go to C:\AMD\Support\12-6-legacy_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc_whql\Packages\Apps Some locations for others may vary but this is where mine was located. Next go to CCC2 and then Core-static folder where at the bottom a windows installer package named ccc-core-static will be. Run this to get software working for the driver you just installed. If you run the original installer without manually installing the software it will automatically install the sample driver again and your work will be lost. !!!!!!!!! Follow these steps for the driver, go into AMD folder and manually install the driver software and you will have control over your graphics performance, such as MIP details and 3d settings as well as Fullscreen stretching in lower resolutions which is ideal for gaming performance. I've done this and now I'm happily using windows 8 again

((FC: Teresa Oman)) Hello, my name's Alyssa, but I like to be called Al. It's easier to say. I'm 19, almost 20, and I live in New York. I'm more introverted and tend to keep to myself, but that doesn't mean I always do. I'm also known to be sarcastic, clever, creative, adventurous, and observant. And even though I'm a mortal, I'm a psychic. I can read people's minds, so it's best to be honest with me, cause I'll find out one way or another.

Custom made Cadillac Escalade "V" emblem
Here I have a very special custom made Cadillac Escalade emblem for sale. This emblem has been made with A old school Cadillac v emblem from a 1958 Cadillac. I made base plates for each emblem out of ABS plastic for a clean factory look. the base plates have the correct curvature to fit the front grill and also can be painted to match. My Escalade was green and as you can see the final product sat very nicely. Currently the emblems and base plates are separated. This makes the painting process much easier. Looks a little rough from storage but will come out looking great with a little sanding and fresh paint.
*** I don't have the chrome colored crest any more***
You could take off your own and place it on top of the base plate or just order a new one. This is how you would receive it.
I also have a set of satin wreath and crest. The crest is solid with no color inside of the crest.
Additional pictures.
PM or email me with offers. email@example.com Will go to the highest bidder
**send me your emblem and some spray paint and I will finish it off for you for extra $**

Bernadette: I now pronounce you husband and wife. And weird other husband who came with the apartment.
Penny: Your parents are old. Anything unspeakable was finished by 9:30.
Sheldon: So, did you defile my mother or not?
Alfred Hofstadter: Look, I promise you, neither I, nor anyone, has ever said that.

Overture in the French style, BWV 831
The Overture in the French style, BWV 831, original title Ouvertüre nach Französischer Art, also known as the French Overture and published as the second half of Clavier-Übung II in 1735 (paired with the Italian Concerto), is a suite in B minor for two-manual harpsichord written by Johann Sebastian Bach. An earlier version of this work exists, in the key of C minor (BWV 831a); the work was transposed into B minor to complete the cycle of tonalities in Parts One and Two of the Clavier-Übung.[citation needed] The keys of the six Partitas (B♭ major, C minor, A minor, D major, G major, E minor) form a sequence of intervals going up and then down by increasing amounts: a second up (B♭ to C), a third down (C to A), a fourth up (A to D), a fifth down (D to G), and finally a sixth up (G to E).[1] The key sequence continues into Clavier-Übung II (1735) with two larger works: the Italian Concerto, a seventh down (E to F), and the French Overture, an augmented fourth up (F to B♮). Thus this sequence of customary tonalities for 18th-century keyboard compositions is complete, extending from the first letter of his name (Bach's "home" key, B♭, in German is B) to the last letter of his name (B♮ in German is H).
The term overture refers to the fact that this suite starts with an overture movement, and was a common generic name for French suites (his orchestral suites were similarly named). This "overture" movement replaces the allemande found in Bach's other keyboard suites. Also, there are optional dance movements both before and after the Sarabande. Optional movements usually occur only after the sarabande. All three of the optional dance movements are presented in pairs, with the first one repeated (without internal repeats) after the second. Also unusual is the inclusion of an extra movement after the Gigue. This is an "echo", a piece meant to exploit the terraced loud and soft dynamics of the two-manual harpsichord. Other movements also have dynamic indications (piano and forte), which are not often found in keyboard suites of the Baroque period. With eleven movements, the French Overture is the longest keyboard suite ever composed by Bach. It usually has a duration of 30 minutes if all the repeats in every movement are taken.
The style of this work refers to composers like François Couperin who had published compositions in this suite format. Such suites had been composed for both solo instruments and for orchestral settings. Bach's composition, though a work for solo harpsichord, employs a fuller sound than was customary for the French composers to whom he referred.[2]

Originally posted on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 2/27/13
NEW YORK - JANUARY 25: Chris Jordan Staal #11 of the Pittsburgh Penguins skates against the New York Rangers on January 25, 2010 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Penguins defeated the Rangers 4-2. (Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images)
Jordan Staal agreed that it might have been the most surreal moment in his life. On his wedding day last summer, with about a dozen of his Pittsburgh Penguins teammates present roughly two-thirds of the roster he learned he had been traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, where he would play alongside his brother, Eric. Talk about a range of emotions. "Yeah, Id say it's up there," he told FOXSportsCarolinas.com by phone. "It was a very emotional day and to have my ex-teammates, I guess now, from Pitt up there and having to move on from there, it was nice in a way, hanging out with those guys for just that night and being able to have some fun with them instead of texting them or something like that. It was definitely an up-and-down day, but definitely a lot of ups towards the end. "We ended up having a great night, myself and Heather." So far, Staal's marriage with his new team also is off to a bright start. On Thursday, the 'Canes will meet up for the first time against those now former Penguins teammates friends who were close enough to attend his wedding at PNC Arena. Another subplot: It's a battle of two division leaders, as the Hurricanes enter with a tenuous hold on the Southeast Division (tied with Tampa Bay and Winnipeg at 19 points) while the Penguins sit atop the Atlantic Division with 26 points, second most in the Eastern Conference. The Staal trade was GM Jim Rutherford's major offseason move, with the intent of getting the 'Canes into the playoffs for the first time since 2009. To get the deal going, Rutherford got an assist from Staal himself. Then 23, Staal used his status as an unrestricted free-agent-to-be in July 2013 to help leverage the trade to Carolina. Pittsburgh offered him an extension but when he declined, Penguins GM Ray Shero sent him to Carolina for Brandon Sutter, Brian Dumoulin and the Canes first-round pick last year. Staal promptly signed a 10-year extension worth 60 million, which kicks in next season. Sitting on the depth chart in Pittsburgh behind two of the game's best players, let alone centers, in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, Staal was never going to be a second-line center in Pittsburgh. He also was never going to play with brother Eric, the 'Canes captain who is under contract for three more seasons after this one. "It's been good, he's a good player, Jordan said of Eric, who leads the team with 19 points, four more than Jordan, who ranks second. "Its always fun watching him and he does so many good things on the ice. He's leading our team this year, doing everything we needed him to help our team win. He's got that competitive fire. "It's hard not to rub off on players. He really leads the team by example and does some great things every shift. He's a lot of fun to play with and a good player to watch." So far this season, Jordan has mostly skated on a line with Pat Dwyer on his right and either Jeff Skinner (currently out with a concussion) or Jussi Jokinen on his left. Staal has yet to play much with Eric, but as Jordan noted, "Im there for a long time, so well see how it goes." During his six seasons in Pittsburgh, Staal established himself as one of the games premier two-way centers. Right now, he's minus-4 but he said the one-week training camp didn't give him much time to learn coach Kirk Muller's system. The first few regular season games, Staal said, felt like exhibition games and it was not until the Hurricanes eighth game that he registered on the positive side of the ledger. During the months of inactivity brought on by the lockout, Jordan and Eric talked a lot but not necessarily about the technicalities of Carolina's system, the kind of thing that can only be learned with plenty of teammates and coaches during practice sessions. "We were more or less talking about the lockout more than anything," Jordan said. "Just trying to get that going. We weren't too worried about system stuff. (Eric) helped out, obviously, the first few weeks." Staal has had a few rough games lately as the 'Canes have lost three of four, with the losses coming to divisional foes. He went minus-4 against Tampa Bay last Sunday and minus-2 in the game before that last Friday. But its fairly safe to say he'll be ready Thursday when his old team visits. "Its one of those things, when the schedule comes out and you're looking through it, you want to know when that first game is," Staal said. "Its going to be very exciting. Obviously, for myself, it's just going to be a lot of fun. Theres a few friends out there on the ice but at the same time Im not going to let them beat me at the same time. Its going to be a challenge."

Common Core Standards Are Heading to the Statehouse
Three states have already repealed the Common Core Standards: Indiana, Oklahoma and South Caroline, will Ohio be the fourth?
State Representative Andy Thompson thinks it should be, saying "this one size fits all, top down approach has not worked in the past and it is not likely to work in the future."
Supporters of the Common Core are saying that this could be more harmful to the school districts then good.
The bill goes to the statehouse next month.
Common Core are Federal Education Standards that effect every state. If you would like to know more about common core standards you can visit their website at http://www.corestandards.org/
