|It's back-to-school time! Are you ready?
This fall I'll be working about the same amount as I did in the spring. My schedule currently has 13 class hours on it but undoubtedly something will be subtracted and other things will be added. The biggest change is the addition of a few IT companies, which means more daytime hours (vs. evenings).
When I first appeared on the EFL scene here in fall 2011, it was to work at one language school, roughly exchanging 30 hours a week for about a grand per month.
It wasn't until spring 2012 that my first private student appeared. (And then disappeared.)
That December I got my first independent position at an IT company, teaching 2 hours a week.
And then suddenly, this year, it was like a switch was flipped.
In February D and I took our first online proofreading tasks, which continue to show up periodically in my inbox to this day. In March I left the secure paycheck of the school, dropping down to just a couple hours a week there, and began with 2 private students. By May, it was 5 private students, 1 private speaking club, the IT company, and one class at the school. Now it's 5 private students and 3 IT companies.
By the way, as far as teaching English goes, my current schedule is a light schedule. Most people work more than that. I've turned down and postponed lots of offers just to keep time open for writing on this blog (am. the. slowest. writer. ever!) and designing awesome lessons.

When is the best time to get a teaching job in Kharkov?
Plan to contact English schools in July and August as they start to plan their fall schedule. Most schools will just take you as you are, but some (American English Center and possibly International House) prefer training or offer it themselves so it'd be best to get in touch with them earlier to accommodate the training schedule.
|metro ad for Green Forest,one of Kharkov's numerous English schools
Do I need training to teach English in Kharkov?
Short answer- no.
The long answer- still no.
There's a huge demand for English in this city, as well as elsewhere throughout the country. If you've got any kind of certification (TEFL, etc.) or experience, you will able to make more money or work at a fancier school, but not having it won't necessarily stop you.
|more skills = more bank!
Imagine going to all the effort of studying a brand new language for years, learning all its grammatical formulas, and suddenly some other person shows up and magically entrances all your students. That sucks. And to imagine that person can't even provide an example of the future perfect continuous tense whilst you could write a freakin' book on it!
One school hired me to come visit their classes a couple of times a semester for the students to get some speaking practice. During one of the classes, students asked me what I did. When I replied that I was an English teacher, the regular teacher immediately jumped in and said "She doesn't mean that. She means she's a native speaker."
"No", I said, "I'm a teacher."
"No", she fired back, "You're a native speaker. I'm a teacher"
I don't think she meant to be rude, I think she was just defending her territory. It's pretty easy to get paid for 'teaching English' while doing nothing more than just leading a running monologue in class. If you're funny or energetic enough, most people don't even mind. I'm not either of those things though, so I've invested time into getting hard skills. I get where she's coming from though... it probably doesn't equal all the English phonetics and sentence fragments that she's had drilled into her. And there's such a discrepancy in pay- Green Forest's vacancy page, for example, offers $5 - $12/hour for a Ukrainian teacher while shelling out $15/hour for a foreigner.
What other kinds of jobs are available?
Foreigners in Kharkov tend to fall into a few groups:
- foreign students (mainly from Africa and Asia)
- helping hands (Peace Corps, missionaries, LDS, charity work, etc)
- business expats (arriving here [perhaps reluctantly?] at the request of an international company)
- English teachers (usually the scruffiest of all the groups)
So, out of these four groups of foreigners, how does one find work?
The foreign students work wherever they can, if they need to. I know one English that offers 50uah/hour to anyone who claims English as a native language, so Indian and African students occasionally turn up in a class or two there. Another option but not for the faint of heart- working at a market.
The most financially comfortable option is to get sent here. This obviously takes a little planning but some (not all) business expats are, like Chris Brown says, gettin' paper!
There are occasional other jobs that pop up, mainly in the IT field. I've seen ads for recruiters (like this), phone support, and sales. One interview I had was for a mysterious company that wanted native speakers to answer customer service calls during U.S. business hours.
Our proofreading job happened after I put my resume on one of the "dot ua" sites. Two companies got in touch. Currently we're still proofreading translated documents for one of them. It's not enough money to live off, but it's a little extra each month.
Should I just show up? Should I look for a job before arriving?
work.ua or rabota.ua and enter your skill set in the search box. I've just now run a search on work.ua using the keyword "English". Almost 3 dozen jobs turned up, ranging from school administrator to accountant, manager to biologist. The only thing is- both websites are in Ukrainian/Russian (although some job ads appear in English). This is just one of many barriers you'll face if you don't know the language yet. As of this moment, it is possible to register and post your resume on these sites for free, so you might consider doing that and seeing if anyone is interested.
One more thing: it's a boost if you have English and another marketable skill. It's like back in university- the people who study Japanese and economics trump those who just study Japanese. (Says the girl who thought "Spanish and business? No, let's do Spanish and Russian instead!" :p Oops.)
I'm hearing about more and more people who just show up and start looking. Two guys- one Canadian, one American- got programming jobs at IT companies that way. Another just got here and has already made the rounds at over a dozen English schools, picking up employment. They had/have one BIG factor in their favor...
You know how everyone nowadays is saying "network, network, network!"?
That is SO true here in Ukraine.
If you're a stranger asking for something, it's going to be tough.
If you've met people and made connections, the world will open up for you.
It's a universal truth, of course, but it's even more so here. Favoritism, nepotism, all the fun things that Americans love to sue each other over, all that is par for the course in these parts. So if you're applying from abroad you've got two strikes against you:
1) No one knows you (yet).
2) No one likes you (yet).
|Preparing for students in a Ukrainian elementary school.
For example, take my IT company teaching gigs.
Last summer I asked a well-connected teacher (a Ukrainian woman) if she knew of any IT companies that were hiring English teachers. Ha, she scoffed at me. Those jobs were all snatched up ages ago.
But that's not so. You just have to know someone who knows someone.
My first IT offer came via an ex-student who worked in HR and had gotten hired at a new company. They decided to look for a native speaker, the HR department got tasked with the job, and she sent me a message on vk. As for the next company, well...[deep breath] I met a man on the internet who came to visit his girlfriend in Kharkov and introduced me to a Ukrainian guy whose wife's sister works in HR at the company in question. [phew!] And the third job? ; ) well... D started working there and introduced me to the owner last winter.
Remember when I mentioned that it was like a switch had flipped this year, that suddenly lots of people were interested in my skills? I think it was the point at which my social network here reached critical mass. That never could have happened without actually being in Ukraine. So in a nutshell- I got hired before arriving, but it took creating a life here to find the good stuff. You might consider taking what you can find just to make a soft landing and then spreading your wings once you've truly settled in.
Anyway, so there's my two cents for you. If you've got your own experience to share, or have any questions, drop me a line below : ) And as always, thank you for reading!

Hi Guys (and Gals),
Picked up first Eotech for my first AR-15 the other day. I just have two pretty dumb questions:
1.)Is it OK to "hike" the eotech forward over the front handguard so that I can fit on a BUIS on the back of the pic rail?
2.) How crisp is the hologram supposed to be? The hologram I'm seeing is pretty clear, but is a little blurry around the edges and on the edges it looks like a bunch of tiny dots together - not really a solid outline, is this normal?

Another Grumpy Summer Sizzler — Blue Fescue
I hate watering the grass, an activity I put on an intellectual par with working in a toll booth. Water is also expensive where I live and every time I turn on the hose, I imagine dimes and nickels flowing out of the other end. That's why I respect — nay, cherish — a grass that never needs watering. Blue fescue.I know, I know. When you hear the word "fescue," you automatically think of a cool-weather lawn grass called tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) that needs lots of water. But blue fescue (Festuca glauca) is a totally different animal. It forms a mounding clump 6 to 12 inches tall and wide. Its foliage is blue, not green, and stays that way year-round. And it likes dry soil. In fact, the easiest way to kill it is by watering it too much.
In order to thrive, blue fescue needs just two things — sun and good drainage. Soil pH doesn't matter. Soil type doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't stay wet. Salt air doesn't matter. Summer heat and drought? Fugdeddaboutit.
There are several improved forms of blue fescue out there, but Grumpy is partial to one called 'Elijah Blue' for two reasons. First, it forms a very neat, 8-inch clump of intense silvery-blue foliage. Second, I just can't resist any plant named for the offspring of Cher and Gregg Allman.
'Elijah Blue' has several nice uses in the garden. It's fantastic in a container, especially when combined with coarse-textured plants that need little water, such as sedum, agave, hens-and-chicks, and other succulents. It's a great little plant for tucking into the niches of a rock garden or stacked stone wall. You can also mass it in the foreground of a sunny border. It's available at most garden centers, but you can also order it by mail from Big Dipper Farm.
Unfortunately, 'Elijah Blue' won't grow everywhere. It's not a good choice for the Gulf Coast and Florida, because it doesn't like the unrelenting humidity and torrential summer rains. But north of there, it's fine. It's cold-hardy to Canada. The only pest I've seen bothering it is Ketchup, my psychotic cat, who likes to chew on the leaves. He won't eat steak, but he'll eat blue fescue. At least, he doesn't put ketchup on it.

Why Obama Should Embrace the Obamacare Tax
As a legal matter, the question of whether the individual mandate is a tax is important. Chief Justice John G. Roberts's judgment that it is is what enabled him to save the law from being struck down.
As a policy matter, however, whether the payment is a "tax," a "penalty" or a "fine" is irrelevant. That hasn't stopped politicians in both parties from fixating on the matter.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney pointedly insisted that it's not a tax. Carney told reporters last week: "It's a penalty, because you have a choice. You don't have a choice to pay your taxes, right?" Meanwhile, Republicans have rather confusingly been insisting that Roberts's ruling was wrong, and yet they knew all along that the mandate was a tax.
The confusion arises because taxes and fines are often more similar than people realize. Fines are designed to modify behavior -- and also to raise revenue. Taxes are supposed to raise revenue, but some (known as "Pigouvian taxes") are also designed to modify behavior.
When the government imposes heavy taxes on cigarettes, its intent is to discourage people from smoking, but allow them to do so if they are willing to pay. Similarly, when the government imposes a fine on speeding, its intent is to discourage speeding, but it's not a zero-tolerance policy; ideally, the fine should be set so that the costs the speeder imposes on society are put back onto him or her.
Speeding fines and cigarette taxes look a lot alike, and they both look like the insurance mandate. The purpose of the mandate is to get people to buy insurance, and if they don't, the government takes money from them. This undercuts undermines Carney's argument. Cigarette taxes are optional: If you don't want to pay them, all you have to do is not buy cigarettes. Similarly, you can avoid the individual mandate tax, but only by obtaining insurance.
The main practical difference between a Pigouvian tax and a fine is this feeling of optionality. Drivers have the option to speed and subject themselves to the risk of being fined. But it feels like the government is telling you not to speed, more so than a cigarette tax feels like an order telling you not to smoke. Fines also come with additional costs that taxes don't: They might require you to appear in court, and they can become part of a record that stays with you, as when speeding fines are reported to insurance companies.
In these regards, the mandate still looks like a tax. It's collected by the IRS, which then is barred from using judicial means to enforce payment. And being subjected to an insurance penalty would be a confidential matter like anything else on your income tax return. The law may call it a "penalty," but if it walks like a tax and quacks like a tax, it's a tax.
But who cares whether the mandate is a tax or a penalty? Either way, it's a coercive measure to get people who otherwise wouldn't to buy insurance. And that's fine (I'm using that word as an adjective). Any policy designed to achieve universal health insurance will necessarily be coercive.
Many politicians in both parties purport to share the goal of universal health coverage for all Americans. There are lots of ways to get there -- tax credits, tax exclusions, employer mandates, individual mandates, single payer coverage -- but all of them involve pushing people to obtain something they might not buy on their own.
The Obama administration should just admit that the mandate is a tax. It can also say it's a tax that most Americans won't pay, especially if Obamacare succeeds in its goal of getting nearly everyone to carry insurance. And it can note that it's less invasive than the other ways we might achieve universal coverage, such as single payer.

Johns Hopkins surgeons work with patients to balance the options between preserving the function of a limb and removing the entire tumor with a margin of normal tissue. Their philosophy is that each patient deserves the best chance for a cure. Johns Hopkins surgeons have completed specialized training in orthopedic oncology, surgical oncology, or neurosurgery and use the most advanced technology to guide their surgical skills.
Working in a multidisciplinary team with medical and radiation oncologists and others, surgeries are coordinated around other treatments to maximize patient outcomes.
Importance of Surgery
Abdominal Sarcomas
- Sarcoma of the soft tissue and muscle can go undetected in the abdomen or misdiagnosed as a hernia or a benign fatty tumor (lipoma).
- Surgery is the first line of treatment.
- It is important to have an expert surgeon specializing in these large and complex tumors so surgery is performed correctly.
Uterine Sarcoma
Surgery is the most common treatment for uterine sarcoma, a rare cancer of the muscles or tissues that support the uterus.
Limb-sparing Surgery
Now that oncologists have improved chemotherapy regimens, surgeons can be more aggressive in saving the limb affected by the sarcoma without undue risk to survival. Since chemotherapy kills much of the tumor, surgeons cut away less tissue, providing more opportunities to save muscles, ligaments and nerves necessary for the limb to function well. Limb-sparing surgery can be performed in 90 percent of patients. If possible, wide margins of tissue around the tumor are removed, while major blood vessels and soft-tissue flaps are preserved.
Options for reconstruction after limb-sparing surgery include:
- Allografts
Allograft reconstruction involves the use of cadaver bones, which are supplied by companies similar to those that provide organs for transplants. These companies follow strict procedures to screen for infection and blood-borne disease. The type of allograft required depends on the extent of surgery. Freeze-dried cadaver bone can be packed into small areas of bones where benign tumors have been removed. Larger intact bones can be used to replace sections of long bones or the pelvis after sarcoma removal and are size-matched to fit the patient. The allograft serves as scaffolding for the body and provides structural support as the patient's bone grows over the cadaver bone. Allografts carry a higher risk of infection than metal prostheses and can break and disintegrate over time. Many surgeons are using allografts less often for these reasons. Still, allografts, a biologic material, provide a more long-term solution for saving limbs as long as the patient's bone heals to the graft. They more frequently are used for repairing areas in the middle of the bone not involving the joint - these are termed intercalary allografts. In a highly-specialized intercalary allograft procedure, surgeons may insert vascularized fibular grafts that deliver critical blood supply to the grafted cadaver bone in order to speed up the healing process. Another use for allografts is to fuse a joint after a large segment of bone is removed around the hip, knee, ankle or shoulder. The allograft fills the space that the joint once occupied and is held in place with a metal rod or plate. Johns Hopkins experts believe this reconstruction is very durable after the allograft heals, but the patient will not be able to move the joint.
Metal Prosthesis
Replacing diseased bone with a metal prosthesis is the most commonly used option. Surgeons fit together modular pieces of metal, like building blocks to reconstruct the bone. Additional pieces can be added in young patients as they grow. However, all metal prosthesis will fail (loosen) over time and require revision surgery. Occasionally, surgeons at Johns Hopkins use combinations of allografts and prostheses to combine the best aspects of both types of reconstruction.
Expandable Prosthesis
For pediatric patients, new options in prosthetic devices can mimic healthy growing limbs. This option is available for patients with tumors in the bone that extend into the growth plate and who are expected to grow more than 4 cm. A special prosthesis can be placed to reconstruct the limb after the tumor is removed, and different surgical or non-surgical techniques are used to periodically lengthen it to keep up with the growth of the appropriate limb. Early versions of the device failed often, requiring additional surgeries and exposure to infection. Now, a new prosthetic device expands without surgical procedures. Instead, an electromagnetic field is generated on the skin near the implant. The "heat waves" melt material surrounding a compressed spring inside the implant without harming other tissues. This procedure is done in an outpatient office visit at regular intervals to coincide with growth of the healthy limb.
Metal prosthesis combined with allografts
An allograft can be combined with a metal prosthesis in the shoulder, hip or knee. The procedure is more complicated, but the patient's remaining tendons connect better to the allograft tendons than to metal. This allows patients to walk more reliably without a limp or raise their arm higher than with a prosthesis alone.
Fibular Autograft
The smaller of the two calf bones, called the fibula, can be transplanted to replace an arm bone in pediatric patients. If the growth plate of the fibula can be successfully transplanted by a team consisting of an orthopedic surgeon and a plastic surgeon, the arm can continue to grow. As living bone, it will mend the arm naturally. The procedure is an option for young patients with tumors that affect the upper part of the arm (humerus) and would require removal of the growth plate, have a favorable prognosis and are expected to grow significantly. Since the surgery is indicated for patients who have significant growth left, it is typically not an option for adults.
Other options/techniques used for tumor removal include:
Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation
RF ablation can destroy cancers by inserting an electrical probe into the tumor. An electric current from the probe burns through the tumor. The procedure can be done as an outpatient procedure through a tiny incision, and placement of the probe is directed by a CT scan.
RF ablation is standard treatment for osteoid osteoma - a small benign bone tumor that is often painful and very difficult to locate by traditional surgery. Complications in mobility, fractures, and recurrence were frequent problems in attempts to surgically remove these tumors.
Interventional radiologists perform RF ablation often for patients whose cancer (breast, prostate, kidney, lung, and colon) has metastasized to the bone or other organs. It is not an option for sarcomas since the goal of surgery is to remove a wide area around the tumor to keep cancer cells from escaping the mass and to capture microscopic cells that have begun to spread. Inserting a large probe into the middle of a sarcoma may contaminate other tissues with cancer cells.
Cryosurgery/Phenol for Benign Bone Tumors
Some sarcoma centers freeze tumors with liquid nitrogen in a process called cryosurgery, but Johns Hopkins specialists have found that the procedure makes the bone around the tumor very brittle and prone to fractures. Instead, after removal of aggressive benign bone tumors, such as giant cell tumors, with curettes and a high speed burr, Johns Hopkins surgeons paint a chemical called phenol on the remaining bone surface to prevent recurrence.

Have patience it's Christmas, more people will be around later in the week.
I think hair loss, especially gradual loss, is probably more of an internal thing. Yes product build up or a dry scalp or an allergic reaction can be behind hair loss, but I think diet, genetics, and male pattern baldness are more liking culprits of thinning over time. Genetics...well there is nothing you can do about that, but diet is a huge one. Hair is probably the least important part of your body, so if you're not eating enough fruits and veggies it's not going to grow very nice or thick.
Pay attention to the hair your losing, is it breaking off or is it more like shedding. Dry hair breaks off. I have sensitive skin so I try to stay away from non-fatty alcohols in products.

Virus Infects Farms
Live updates
Sun shines on 'best in show'
It's shaping up as a challenging year for the region's farmers - a year that started with hundreds of acres of farmland swamped by floods.
But the sun shone today for the start of the South of England Show and the message to consumers from farmers was simple - buy local.
Andy Dickenson was there and spoke to Environment Secretary Owen Paterson MP, Minette Batters of the NFU, and Michael Lambert of the South of England Society.
Farmers in the Thames Valley call for flood relief help
Oxfordshire farmer John Hook says more needs to be done for farmers whose businesses suffered during the recent floods. He's calling for better management from the Environment Agency. The Government though says a special £10 million fund is available for those eligible. Cary Johnston reports.
Minister promotes UK dairy exports at Oxfordshire farm
Farming Minister, George Eustice has been visiting an organic dairy farm in Oxfordshire which exports cream, milk and cheese.
Step Farm in Faringdon plans to increase its business by 75%. The site is part of a dairy co-operative which exported 40m litres of milk, cheese and cream to European and American markets last year.
The farm belongs to OMSCo (Organic Milk Suppliers' Co-operative) farms, which recently launched Kingdom Cheese, the first European cheese to be certified by the US Department of Agriculture to be sold in the USA.
The Government is working with industry to boost the UK's food and drink exports. The sector is already worth £97 billion a year to the economy.

Farmers worried about losing land to HS2 rail route
The construction of the High Speed 2 rail line will completely destroy the livelihoods of farmers, according to the union that represents them.
The National Farmers' Union says there are 23 farms along the proposed route in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire which would be seriously affected.
The government says farmers will be compensated - but landowners say the fields left behind would be un-useable. Our Transport Correspondent Mike Pearse reports.

Flood fear for South East farms
The effects of the weather are felt further than homes and shops of course - the rain and wind is hitting farms across the south-east. So what will that mean for crops this year - and prices in the shops?
David Johns has been investigating, talking to farmers Kevin Attwood and Philip Acock as well as farm manager Ian Witherden.
NFU celebrate apple season with Kent consumers
The NFU will celebrate the English apple season with Kent consumers, with visitors being able to sample new season apples.
It is all part of NFU's campaign and petition to 'Back British Farming'.
It has been launched to highlight the decline in the country's self-sufficiency, with aims to boost production and consumption of home-grown food.
More than 1400 people and organisations have already signed the petition, including Waitrose, The Cooperative and celebrity chef James Martin.
Kent NFU chairman James Smith said, "We have had a fabulous response to the Back British Farming campaign so far from MP's, supermarkets and from members of the public. We hope to encourage many more people to sign up to our charter over the coming days."
Reverse out of here......FAST!
Click video.
Drivers in Kent opted for reverse gear this morning when they were confronted by a bull. The animal appeared on the slip road joining the London-bound A2 from Canterbury.
The video was taken by ITV journalist Jamie Stephens, who said: "I joined the queue just behind the lead vehicles and was initially unaware what had happened as the road was empty ahead, with only a lorry and a van in front of me.
"Then a VERY large bull poked its head round the corner - seemed totally unconcerned at its whereabouts and spent the next 20 minutes wandering across the two carriageways, stopping every once in a while to sniff the odd bonnet.
"No one was quite sure what to do as the bull was more than capable of doing a lot of damage if it wanted to. As a result we all just sat there scratching our heads.
"I'm not entirely sure what happened to the bull, but I suspect a farmer may have led it away. It disappeared after about 20 minutes and the traffic started moving again."
Traffic moo-ving after cow causes delays
Cow causes delays on Canterbury A2 both directions at A28 Wincheap.
The cow has now walked off of the road and traffic now moo-ving.
New vaccine could protect livestock
Click video. The Government says a new vaccine could protect sheep and cows against the Schmallenberg virus which causes defects and miscarriages in livestock.
REPORT: Schmallenberg vaccine released
It's a vaccine to combat a disease that causes severe birth defects and miscarriages in livestock - and it is going on sale in Britain for the first time.
It's welcome news for the region's farmers who've become increasingly concerned about the spread of the Schmallenberg virus in cattle and sheep. Latest figures showed more than 1,500 cases of it across the country.
Penny Silvester speaks to farmer David Barber, John Fishwick from Royal Veterinary College and Alick Simmons Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer.

CVS and SVN are very powerfull tools for source code management and are widely used by professional. I can't agree with Linus that CVS and SVN are useless.
On digital experiences, Open Source, startups & the future
While distributed source code management tools like Git, Mercurial, Monotone and Bazaar (which some Drupal developers use) offer advantages over CVS or SVN, they are not as accessible or well-supported. Drupal developers and Drupal designers are not Linux kernel hackers, and for many of them CVS is the biggest barrier to entry. Without desktop integration for both Windows and the Mac (like TurtoiseCVS or MacCVSClient offer), I don't see how we can migrate away from CVS without leaving half of our community behind ...
Not to mention the fact that our entire release management system is built on top of CVS. It would be a lot of work to switch that to another system.
CVS and SVN are very powerfull tools for source code management and are widely used by professional. I can't agree with Linus that CVS and SVN are useless.
A question from someone with a growing interest in Drupal: why do you still use CVS? I've seen quite a lot of projects make the step to Subversion (and so did we for all our internal repositories). I've found a thread discussing Subversion on the Drupal development mailing list but it was not really clear.
Groeten uit Antwerpen,
Bart, the answer is very simple. We have a lot of tools (project management, packaging, commit tracking and so on) built specifically for CVS, as Dries mentioned. Unless these are migrated to a version control system agnostic model, and keep being tied to CVS, we cannot migrate. This might not happen all at once.
Luckily this years Google of Summer of Code seen Jakob Petsovits (http://groups.drupal.org/user/3265) applying and getting accepted to attempt this transition, and he is going nicely so far. Do not expect results in a few weeks though, there is a lot to do here.
Well that is one of the drawbacks of building entire systems/toolchains on top yourself. I prefer to keep things simple and accept somewhat less integration & automation, thereby remaining flexible and not get tied in to particular tools or even versions of tools too much.
Alas, always where you see too much role-specialisation (e.g. people who have a dedicated role for release mgmt etc) you see people taking it too far and confuse goals and means.
I agree that CVS is still fine. I was using it for my personal repository until a few weeks ago when I had to convert to SVN for one simple reason: I want to access my repository even if I'm behind a proxy. I can't use CVS behind the proxy but SVN+Apache'd do fine.
I'd really like to see a Drupal SVN repository even if it's an unofficial mirror (I'm welling to contribute time and efforts) just to solve the proxy problem. (I guess a lot of people are having the same problem? I don't know.)
There is an SVN repository of Drupal here.
Speaking as a non-developer...in my organization we've been working very hard in bringing version control to our developers. We considered a number of version control systems (even propriety) and settled over SVN.
Why not CVS? While CVS is still a decent version control system, the synergy from almost every developer we talked to was toward SVN. They only justified CVS for "old projects" and not for anything they would begin today. In other words, my impression was CVS was of the past and SVN was the present/future.
Why is the interest in SVN important to recognize? While Drupal is doing well with CVS...what happens when the majority of "new" open source developers know little about CVS but are very comfortable with SVN? I'm going to argue, that they'll be less likely to share their code with Drupal.org. Just as you're worried that by moving away from CVS will leave "half of our community behind" you also have to ask whether it will "keep half a community" from joining Drupal.
At my work, our primary programming lanaguage on our operational systems are Python and Tcl/Tk. Both good languages, but our contractor has insisted migrating us over to Java. Why? Although the majority of our in-house programmers know nothing about Java...the majority of developers are skilled in programming with Java. In other words, we have a better chance of bringing in new talent by picking a programming language with the biggest talent pool. While it is a lot of work for moving our programs off of Tcl or Python...we have a better chance of finding good developers to support our our legacy and current programs by moving them over to Java. This is our hope of course...the future is always unpredictable in IT. :-)
Dries, I argue that the question is not what version control system do Drupal developers want to use today, but what version control system would Drupal developers want to use tomorrow? I don't know the answer to the question for Drupal...but I do know the answer for an increasing number of open source projects. SVN.
Doh ... Maybe read the post again?! Dries compares "Git, Mercurial, Monotom and Bazaar" to "CVS or SVN". CVS and SVN are very close to each other, and have their tools for major OSes without leaving half of the community behind as Dries explained. On the other hand, "Git, Mercurial, Monotom and Bazaar" offer great advantages to developers (as Dries notes, some high profile Drupal developers already use private Bazaar repositories), they are not accessible to (more then) half of the community, and put a higher barrier to entry. You ended up with SVN for a similar reason probably and not Git, Mercurial, Monotom or Bazaar.
The topic of this post is not to debate migration from CVS to SVN.
The question, indeed, should not be SVN or CVS. SVN is really nothing more then a less sucking CVS. Real improvement takes a few steps ahead, being DARCS, GIT, or BZR indeed.
SVN will hardly make things better, but will take the same bumps as those "few steps ahead". SVN is just less bad then CVS. For real improvement we should look at the distributed ones. But, like Dries and Gabor point out, many, many severe humps need to be taken.
While a lack of good GUI tools is definitely a barrier to entry. So is CVS's archaic history and convoluted CLI options.
But, I can quickly see one serious problem with Mercurial, Monotom and Bazaar. They are all pre-1.0 software. Subversion has been post-1.0 for nearly 3.5 years. And it finally has decent client-side GUI tools.
And while Subversion and CVS are most similar, I would consider SVN about half way between distributed version control systems (like Mercurial, etc.) and CVS. It may not have full working-copy-side revisions, but it does have a working-copy-side BASE and easy file and directory move/rename features.
If it takes Mercurial et al. 4 years to get nice GUI tools, it's clear Drupal will need to move to SVN in the interim (by first converting the code base to a "version control system agnostic model.") I look forward to the journey.
At the last company I started (http://www.pingtel.com), we moved from a closed-source to open-source model. In the process, when we went through the analysis of which source code control system to use for the new (public) code, we did an extensive evaluation of the choices. While this evaluation is now several years dated, we decided:
So I'm replying under _John's_ comment because from my perspective, that same analysis still applies: CVS isn't it, the new tools aren't it, and SVN should be it. It _is_ painful to move; but the long-run benefits are worth it, IMHO.
(I'm less sanguine than John is about the ability to create a "version control system agnostic model.")

http://groups.drupal.org/node/4281 -- initial progress report by jpetso on his work so far.
Re: revision control agnostic code: I think the not-so-tied-to-CVS stuff will be done very well, and relatively speaking, quite soon (probably before the official 6.0 core release). That said, I'm still not convinced switching to SVN is yet worth the trouble for the Drupal project. But, that's not the point of this post, now is it? ;)
From what little I know of it so far, git definitely seems appealing to me as a revision-control freak. ;) I haven't watched Linus's video above, but I will when I have a free hour. However, it certainly seems to have a reputation for being even more complicated and cryptic than CVS, even if the added complication is caused by majorly improved flexibility and functionality. As the person who fields the vast majority of the support burden of using CVS on the Drupal project, and given how little the average Drupal developer seems to know about revision control at all (much less the specifics of any given tool), I'd really fear switching to something even more complicated and difficult to navigate like git.
Furthermore, while every-workspace-is-a-repository is great for working off-line, that also means you'd have to checkout the entire contrib repository to do anything with any part of it... unless we moved to separate git repos for each project, which is another nightmare of its own...
Also, keep in mind that (for fear of the developers messing it up) Drupal never really uses any of the more advanced revision control practices like merging branches, so improvements in functionality like that don't matter much for drupal.org itself. Granted, if we had a tool that made merging vastly easier and better, we might actually let people use it. But, by switching to a more complicated tool that makes the advanced operations easier, we're just raising the bar for the average Drupal contributor who can't even seem to grasp the (IMHO) simple concept of a branch in the first place. :(
Final note (meta comment about this thread, not a response to the thread itself), as I've repeatedly mentioned in the past, I'm a little worried about putting code into core that ties directly into our usage of CVS, since that binds us to a given revision control tool. However, exactly that is shaping up to happen as we move the update_status.module into core, since (at the continued request of the deploy-from-CVS crowd of Drupal power-users), I've kept adding code to update_status.module to handle sites that deploy from CVS more gracefully. :( In the past, I wasn't too worried, since it seemed like Drupal wasn't planning to switch tools for a long time, but the existance of this post is making me nervous about this point. Any input on this would be welcome.
Why are you catering to the 'deploy from cvs crowd at all? They want to be power users, then they need to deal with that. If you tie us to a given system in the initial excitement of 'neat feature' then you we will all have a much more complex path forward.
Why not have the 'tie to cvs' portion of the update module code be a 'contrib' module?
Seems we're on the same page. ;) I was thinking more about this and decided to split out all the CVS-specific code to another module, which would stay in contrib while the rest of update_status moves into core. Was just coming back here to post the link for interested parties and saw your reply. ;)
Anyway, here's the issue:
Comments there, please. There are some open questions about what to call this new module, and also how the hook_get_version() I'm planning to introduce should actually work (and be called, for that matter). What's there in the current draft of the patch is rather hackish and crude -- this needs more thought before it's core-worthy.
p.s. See also http://drupal.org/node/124661 if you're interested...
FYI -- CVS deploy module now released:
How many are left behind because of the fact we use CVS and not SVN? That is a valid question as well. Maybe a poll/survey could provide some answers to this question?
For a couple of years now, members of the community have foreseen that drupal would get forked, hence the needs for different types of distributions (media, school, churches and what not). Now that drupal will offer different distributions we prevent forks from happening, I think. However, I see that maintainers of this distributions could benefit from using git hence the revision-control system it offers.
The trustee network that Linus talked about, was another interesting point.
Today, I have no opinions on whether we should stick to CVS, jump to SVN or choose GIT as our future revision-control system. But I know we do need to make things simpler so the "drop-in" developers can easy(ier) commit their code, without going through handbook hell.
about git:
git do offer a web interface: http://git.kernel.org/
git is just POSIX-compatible(linux and mac osx): http://www.spearce.org/2007/01/git-gui-screenshots.html
for windows users: they would need to install Cygwin. Wait, there is hope: http://www.mingw.org/
git may not be most obvious solution today, but maybe for tomorrow.
Well, Linus has strong opinions, that's true. But then again he's saying all that from his own point of view, which is the kernel development. And I believe him when he says that CVS/SVN/whatever is completely unsuitable for the things that *he* has to do. He has huge requirements as his task is large and complex.
CVS/SVN/whatever might be very well suitable for someone's small project, no question. But that's not what you should look at when you design a SCM. Small people are probably happy with whatever anyway, but it's only with a big project and complex situations that you will be able to tell the difference between two SCMs and see weather they're worth anything or not. (In fact, I am such a small person, and when I first discovered CVS, I was very happy and thought it's great. Then I went to SVN and was happy and thought it's even better. Small people are easy to amaze. And they should keep their mouths shut when the big people make decisions or express strong opinions. :) )
That being said, git is indeed the work of a true genius! It's simple but still amazingly powerful and I'd prefer it over CVS and SVN any time. Linus writing git also proves that he doesn't just bitch around with cynical and strong opinions, but also is able and willing to do what is necessary to make things go better.
Decentralized means so much to me from a practical, moral, political perspective that it alone sells me on Git.
Drupal already has many of the advantages of Git-style distributed development: don't hack core, use core, and give many a fool like myself commit access to their own module.
Linus mentioned people doing the hard work in Git and exporting back to Subversion; perhaps we could try to do some contributed modules this way with CVS, to bridge both worlds. (I've been meaning to ask the relevant summer of coders, but in case they check here first: are extensions to project / case tracker keeping multiple version control options in mind?)
Quite apart from what Drupal uses for source code management, I'm fascinated by a crazy idea: websites that themselves are (or can be) decentralized, distributed, and updated or synchronized according to networks of trust.
I think this is a natural evolution of content management, which is the evolution Drupal helps lead.
Benefits would be speed of working with data locally, built-in collaboration and revisions, relative indestructibility of content stored in multiple locations, and empowering people to become not just a content provider, but a content publisher also.
Drawbacks include that it's absolute fantasy.
For now.
I think the Drupal model is pretty solid, even though I hate CVS, but either way its still relatively simple, we are not creating very big projects, even Drupal its-self really is pretty small really. I am sold on Git after watching this, but I am not certain how relevant it could be to Drupal at least any time soon anyways

White House honors Nashua teen for environmental stewardship
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | August 26. 2014 9:33PM
White House Council on Environmental Quality Acting Chair Michael Boots, former President's Environmental Youth Award (PEYA) winner and current EPA intern Apoorva Rangan, Administrator Gina McCarthy, new PEYA winner May Wang, new PEYA award winner Deepika Kurup, and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren before the PEYA awards ceremony. (COURTESY)
"Her project also developed several different prototypes for real-world applications. She has filed a patent and plans to deploy her invention in places around the world that are affected by water pollution," according to a news release from EPA New England.
"I am inspired to see such creative and promising work coming from one of New England's younger citizens," Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office, said in a statement. "The solutions to our environmental concerns need to come from all directions. Ms. Kurup's innovative work, and that of the other PEYA winners, bodes well for a cleaner and healthier environment in the future."
According to Kurup, the daughter of Meena and Pradeep Kurup of Nashua, more than 1 billion people throughout the world do not have access to pure drinking water, with some individuals spending up to four hours a day collecting water that is filled with germs and bacteria.
As far as her recent award from the White House, Kurup said she is honored to be a PEYA recipient; the recognition ceremony in the state's capitol was an amazing experience she added.
The Nashua teenager and young scientist may eventually pursue a career in neurology, as she is fascinated by the human brain and its functions.

That means Sylvain is registered as a family member, hooray!
The whole process really seems to have knocked him down - he looks like a drunk while he tries to walk... - but I went through this before, and I know he´ll be fine in a few hours.
I´m so glad everything went fine with him! And now if he got lost, people will know where to bring him back!!! (I was a bit afraid he would get lost someday, he´s so adventures-oriented.) No more worry from now on! Hooray again!
Horus-the-Godfather (so are called the Boss of big Gang, ain´t they?)
Dear Catster Furiends,
Today Silver ghost, Kama, Sylvain & Pitukupf were (again) due to go to the V**.
Last time they did escape, so old f had to take (again) one day off fort the appointment. And guess what happened? Bingo! They escaped again!
It was sooooooooo funny! I wish I could have taken the scene on a camera!
Scene 1: Early morning, Silver Ghost & Kama just ran out through the catclap – and broke it by the way.
Scene 2: old f managed to pick Sylvain & put him in the carrier. So far so good. She went on her way to the V**, (about half a mile away), and Sylvain fought and fought and hop… gone he was! Old f was all puzzled, with her broken cat-carrier in the hand!
Scene3: she came home & tried to catch Pitukupf. He gave her a really good work out, running up and down the stairs!
Of course none of them has as much as approached the food with the sleeping pills in it… But Petit Noir wanted to have some! So she had to get Petit Noir away, and Petite Fleur was running the stairs up and down as well, always coming into old f feet as she tried to catch Pitukupf!
Scene 4: Petit Frère stayed on the floor, crying out loud as if he were tortured!
The fun I had! Anyway, at 11 it was no point to try any longer, the V** wouldn't take them any more. I don´t know when she plans to take a day off again, but I hope it will be as entertaining as it was today!
Your laughing out loud,

About NOMAD
In 1997, two shoe salesmen wandered from city to city, store to store, inspired by an idea that would transcend into something they never thought imaginable. Their dream was to build a brand that would represent the free-spirited individual; the individual who followed trends and appreciated fashion, but never forgot who they truly were. Hence, Nomad was born; representative of their own ideals, as well as the nomadic attitude that lives within each "Nomad" girl. Being one of the pioneers of the high EVA foam sandal, Nomad Footwear journeyed from the junior fashion market, making its mark in the shoe industry. Since then, Nomad Footwear has transformed its styles to shoes like the Cork Wedge, creating styles that could be worn by any girl, day or night. The logo of the little red man encompasses the ideals of Nomad Footwear. Like the vibrantly colored historical figure, Nomad Footwear has continued to stay true to the origins of their company; passionately striving to create shoes that not only provide comfort, but also original styles and versatility to all of its loyal customers. Creating fashionable sandals, flip flops, flats and rain boots fit for any free spirited-girl, it's no wonder why people everywhere choose to "wander off and be a Nomad . . . "

Some fucked up shit.
Don't know why im posting it here but I need to get it off my chest. About an hour ago at 4am, outside a club in a busy part of town a fight was starting between two guys I knew. One i'm i'm pretty good mates with and the other guy was a few years above me at the same school. Doesn't matter about that anyway, but the guy I know well threw a strong uppercut into the other guys jaw and he fell right back into an oncoming car. He dropped... Didn't get up. Would have been about 10 minutes until the ambo's and cops came and he still hadn't moved although I'm pretty sure the guy was blinking which is a good sign. I wasn't involved and I've seen worse stuff happen before during fights but this was pretty fucked. Just hope the guys ok and nothing serious has happened to him. Just needed to get that off my chest anyway...
[color=][font=][size=]that sucks dude i hope hes ok.[/size][/font][/color]
Watch out for those uppercuts. They can sure screw you up.
So whats the big deal in that.
I've been involved in many big fights with hockey sticks,cricket bats,knife and even country made pistols.My best friend Rohit was seriously injured once when a bullet was hit in his leg.He was out for 2 days,but hopefully he recovered.Even i have many scars of knife.The good thing is i've never been hit by a bullet until now.
OMFG, you're so cool.
Well at least it was your mate who got the better of him. After what happened to David Hookes, one punch can kill someone very easily. I haven't been in a fight for many many years. I can't see the point in it. You'll find now, your mate will get charged with assualt and in the end the fight proved to be worthless. Trust Angel to reply with another absolutely pathetic post.
And Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, it must be a great part of the world you live in. I sure don't want to live there.
I agree with Rajah about Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and I'm Indian.
Dude Chris, it's Rants. It's not like it really matters.
But anyways, you didn't say if your friend was acting in self-defense. I don't fight often, but when I did, it was always in self-defense.
Dude Drew, like I care.
Yeah sure you have. Maybe you should lay off the cock and cocaine for awhile.

Krasniqi sick, fight cancelled
The fight between Luan Krasniqi and NABF champion Johnathon Banks has been cancelled. The two heavyweights were supposed to fight in the Ludwigsburg Arena in Germany next Saturday, February 26. The tickets for the fight night were already sold out. In his final days of training camp Krasniqi got a severe sinus infection and therefore has to cancel his bout against Banks. "I am extremely disappointed and feel very sorry for my fans but a fight next Saturday is simply not possible", says Krasniqi.
Banks was supposed to fly to Germany today but did not enter the plane. "I was really looking forward to having this fight in Germany as the main event on RTL German television. I hope the fight will be re-scheduled", says Banks. Banks' promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions: "This was a great opportunity for Johnathon to show his ability on a big show like this against a veteran boxer like Krasniqi. Many boxing fans were looking forward to seeing this fight in Germany." The entire fight night in Ludwigsburg is called off.

Re: Best practice or cargo cult?by girarde (Hermit)

|Need Help??
"Cargo cult programming" is a misleading pejorative, in that real cargo cults are doing something that worked before, even though it is no longer effective, like the guys who worship Prince Philip, thinking he's a local Chinese guy from their island who emigrated and married way, WAY up.

Eating while petting a bunny in Hong Kong
Hong Kong's first rabbit cafe opened in a small upstairs space over the busy commercial district of Causeway Bay.
Serving different combos, the each set comes with a rabbit snack.
Inspired by a similar cafe on Japan's famous ''rabbit island'', Ricky Lam and his friends decided to bring a rabbit cafe to Hong Kong.
"We went to Okunoshima in Japan last year, and we were inspired by the atmosphere when having meal with rabbits which could be a pretty relaxing. Also we all know abandoning rabbits is common so over half of rabbits in our cafe were adopted," he said.
Lam also said they have a list of rules customers have to follow before playing with the rabbits, including not pulling their ears or picking them up by the ears.
Providing the experience to play with bunnies is attracting animal lovers and people considering whether to keep rabbit as their pet.
Lis Liu brought her two daughters to the cafe.
''It is the first rabbit restaurant in Hong Kong and here we come. Because my girls they want (to) have rabbits as their pets, so I just take them here and to have a look of rabbits,' she said.
Liu's younger daughter Tiana Yung had a great time with rabbits. Continued...

Photos must be of diecast models, and will be nominated from those posted from the first til the last of the month. These must be "first time posts" - no recycling old pics. You can nominate anyone's shots...don't be shy about nominating yourself. When nominating a photo, include a link to the thread and the pic. However, only one entrant per person will be included in the poll. If more than one pic is nominated, I will choose the one that goes in the poll. Nominations will close at the end of the month, a poll will be set up which will run five days, and the winner will then be announced.
Any pic eligible for the contest must follow the forum guidelines of 800X600, 90 KB. It's not the responsibility of me or the forum staff to adjust the size. If you don't currently have photo manipulation software, I recommend IrfanView which is very easy to use. If you want something more advanced try GIMP, which is a good substitute for Photoshop. Both programs are freely distributable, so you have absolutely no reason not to use them. This is a rigid limit...oversized pics will automatically be rejected without warning...it's not my responsibility to make sure the pics are "legal", it's yours.
Good luck and thank you in advance to all participants.
Nominations end 10th of June 2010

Travel Picks: Top 10 St. Patrick's Day destinations
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - If the luck of the Irish is with you, there will be shamrocks, Guinness and a party of fine friends to share your St. Patrick's Day celebrations on March 17th. Dublin won't be the only city decked out in green for the festivities honoring the patron saint of Ireland, so that's why online travel consultant Hotwire (www.hotwire.com) has helpfully provided this list of its Top 10 St. Patrick's Day destinations. Reuters has not endorsed this list:
1. Chicago, Illinois Besides offering delicious deep-dish pizza and wonderful views of Lake Michigan, the Windy City is home to one of the most spectacular St. Patrick's Day displays in the world. Every year, thousands of festive Midwesterners take the train downtown to celebrate the holiday and witness the dyeing of the Chicago River. Using over 40 pounds of environmentally friendly coloring, the river stays green for an entire day, providing the perfect backdrop for the St. Patrick's Day parade and throngs of enthusiastic locals.
2. Boston, Massachusetts
As home to a thriving and Irish pub scene and the Celtic-influenced punk rock group Dropkick Murphys, Boston is a prime spot for celebrating Saint Patrick's Day. Every year, the city holds one of the biggest parades and boasts party after party at one of their many vibrant pubs. Visitors can also walk along the city's Irish Heritage Trail, which begins at the Rose Kennedy Garden and ends near Fenway Park, to experience firsthand the rich Irish background behind some of the city's most beloved historical areas.
3. Dublin, Ireland
What better place to celebrate an Irish holiday than, well, Ireland? Last year, an estimated 500,000 festive folks flocked to the city to celebrate the holiday and enjoy a few pints from the Emerald Isle. This year, the city is putting a spin on its annual parade with a new theme of the "People's Parade," allowing 8,000 people from around the world to sign up to be in the ceremony and take in the electrifying atmosphere as they march down the historic streets. Dublin travelers can also pay a visit to the Guinness brewery to enjoy a fine beer straight from the source or watch some of the city's historical buildings light up in festive colors for the Greening of the City.
4. Florence, Italy Continued...

I purchased three of the Datexx DH-62 Hybrid Wallet Calculators for friends and FedEx'd them to North Carolina. My friends loved the hip colors and the funky buttons. I was asked to send more! I purchased one for myself, too, and I have to agree. The colorful buttons and the little "pop" sound when each button is used is fun. These are fun little calculators to use.

While surveys about security usually end up telling us about how bad people feel, a global survey released Tuesday indicates there's substantially less anxiety about Internet security, personal safety and national security than there was six months ago.
Concerns over security in everything from online shopping and banking to safety from computer viruses, as well as national security along with personal and financial security, were significantly down over what was recorded half a year ago for populations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Netherlands, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. More than 8,000 people were surveyed.
How scared should you be about security statistics?
The change over six months ago represents about a 15% improvement in the levels of anxiety that people feel, according to the scoring system used in the "Unisys Security Index: Global Summary," which covers the March to September timeframe. The reason for less anxiety all around is probably that there's the sense the global economic crisis might be easing, making people less tense, a Unisys spokesman says.
However, when it comes to Internet and personal security, people in the countries where the bi-annual survey was done showed the most worry over bank cards and identity theft, and the highest level of concern about that was evident in Brazil, the United States and Germany. In contrast, those in the Netherlands and Belgium were not particularly concerned at all.
On the question of whether individuals had confidence in the ability of financial services providers or local governments to protect personal information, respondents in Spain were the most concerned, while those in Belgium and the Netherlands were largely unconcerned.
A separate set of questions asked individuals whether they were ready to accept biometric forms of authentication in lieu of passwords to protect online information. According to the survey, a slight majority globally are willing, with Australia the highest at 66%, while the lowest levels of biometrics acceptance were in Germany at 50% and the United States at 58%. The survey said that was a bit of a "paradox" since adults in those countries are among the most concerned globally about online shopping and identity theft.
This story, "Online users becoming less anxious over security, privacy" was originally published by Network World.

Proxy sites that are able to play videos from:
are popular these days in Pakistan, but it is a lose situation for proxy webmasters, due to the traffic is not beneficial for click point ads. There has been a large gain of Pakistani's embracing proxy websites to bypass sites such as the ones listed above, not including Facebook, etc… With porn websites being on the list of sites being blocked due to the "Pakistan Internet Exchange", large percentages of proxy generated web traffic now flowing out of Pakistan. Web proxy sites have always been popular with China, but looking at most of the stats, it seems that Pakistan is giving China a run for their money.
With such low payments for these clicks, how long before proxy sites start doing the one thing that the community is built around? Blocking access to internet freedom due to 0.00 CPM's…
Source WikiPedia Below
The Pakistan Internet Exchange (PIE), operated by the state-owned Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL), was created to facilitate the exchange of Internet traffic between ISPs within and outside of Pakistan. Because the majority of Pakistan's Internet traffic is routed through the PIE (98% of Pakistani ISPs used the PIE in 2004), it provides a means to monitor and possibly block incoming and outgoing Internet traffic as the government deems fit.

As it was being held down it went thru the code again and again. Then i waited and tried again when the cel stayed on the went out for the2.5 sec pause i held it down and same thing. What the Heck am I doing wrong here. I printed out from the bentley manual what to do. But it says wait til you get code 1000. I havent yet seen this code. Not t hat I know.

Of course in BIOS setup there is no option that could control anything related to processor speed and/or temperature.
If there is enough thermal paste to run Vista, it has to handle BT, so i don't think it's a hw issue. I don't want to open the laptop because of the warranty.
I still bet it's the driver's fault (erm.. missing driver's fault?). Is it possible at all to put it to the disc? (to do it so, that it's gonna work )
Well grab a copy of ubuntu and make a unetbootin disk and try it. See if the problem persists. It shouldn't take but about 5 minutes or so to create the usb stick. This will help determine if it is indeed a driver issue.

Manufacturing Mennonites examines the efforts of Mennonite intellectuals and business leaders to redefine the group's ethno-religious identity in response to changing economic and social conditions after 1945. As the industrial workplace was one of the most significant venues in which competing identity claims were contested during this period, Janis Thiessen explores how Mennonite workers responded to such redefinitions and how they affected class relations.
Through unprecedented access to extensive private company records, Thiessen provides an innovative comparison of three businesses founded, owned, and originally staffed by Mennonites: the printing firm Friesens Corporation, the window manufacturer Loewen, and the furniture manufacturer Palliser. Complemented with interviews with workers, managers, and business owners, Manufacturing Mennonites pioneers two important new trajectories for scholarship - how religion can affect business history, and how class relations have influenced religious history.
1. The Mennonite Intellectual Elite: Yieldedness, Non-resistance, and Neighbourly Love
2. The Mennonite Workplace: Loewen Windows, Friesen Printers, and Palliser Furniture
3. Mennonite Corporate Mythology: The 'Reflections' Campaign
4. 'You Had to Know Everything; Otherwise, You Weren't Fit': Worker Experience and Identity
5. Unequally Yoked: Manitoba Mennonites and the Schreyer Government
6. 'No One Is Always Happy with His Environment': Union Drives and Corporate Responses
Perry Bush, Department of History, Bluffton University"Much of the historiography on Mennonites has emphasized their rural, agricultural livelihood. Manufacturing Mennonites is significant for illuminating the significant role of Mennonite-owned manufacturing industries in the late twentieth century. This well-written work makes an important contribution to the study of Mennonite history and Canadian business history."
Marlene Epp, Conrad Grebel University College, University of Waterloo'This is an important and suggestive study that should put to rest tendencies either to ignore religion, or to assume that it has an autonomous power outside of the nexus of capitalist social relations.'
James Naylor, Oral History Forum, vol 33:2013'Manufacturing Mennonites could prove to be a model for other scholars examining the relationship between religion and corporate culture.'
Stephanie Kreihbiel, Oral History Review, April 2014'This is a pioneering work in a new area of study for Mennonites… It has an urban, industrial focus and draws for theoretical and comparative purposes on the scholarly literature of business and labor history applied in new and interesting ways.'
James Urry, Mennonite Quarterly Review, January 2014'Compelling study… Manufacturing Mennonites could prove to be a model for other scholars examining the relationships between religion and corporate culture.'
Stephanie Krehbiel, Oral History Review, vol 41:01:2014
'This monograph is a welcome contribution to the social history of religion in Canada… It contributes to our understanding of the complex ways in which religious faith can impact workers' class consciousness and activism.'
