September Staff Employee of the Month is "indispensable"
Vickie Hunter
Hunter was named Staff Employee of the Month September 14 at the monthly presentation.
"This year Vickie was asked to expand her job duties to include project management, and she now keeps all the department activities on deadline," said Kopp. "She also took on a huge project this spring, Val's Book Club, which everyone loves."
"Vickie does everything but read the book for me," added President Moeller.
Hunter is highly regarded across the college, wrote Kopp in his nomination, noting that she serves on the Staff Advisory Council, where she was elected treasurer, and currently serves on the Compensation Review Committee. She also works extra hours in the Cashier's Office during rush periods, where Darlene Evans, supervisory of Student Accounting, said she is an "outstanding employee."
"At the beginning of Winter Quarter, we received several inquiries from students who had problems with financial aid or registration," said Kopp. "Vickie handled all of these inquiries personally, gathering information from the students during the day and then finding answers for them during the evenings, often on her own time."
YAATC to offer free car care workshops in conjunction with Make a Difference Day
The Columbus State Youth and Adult Automotive Training Center (YAATC), with support from Napa Auto Parts and Matco Tools, will conduct free automotive maintenance and repair workshops for the general public on Saturday, October 22, from 9 a.m.- noon. The workshops are planned for National Make a Difference Day, the largest single day of volunteer service.
YAATC students, who attend Columbus State through grants from Central Ohio Workforce Development Corporation and Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services, will be conducting the workshops on preventive maintenance, basic repairs, how to jumpstart a vehicle, and how to avoid automotive scams and rip-offs.
The YAATC program allows disadvantaged individuals to attend college in the field of automotive technology at no cost. Coordinator Robyn Price says that the YAATC students wanted to "give something back" to their community in recognition of the support they receive through the program.
The workshop will be held in Delaware Hall room 145. You can register by calling (614) 287-5504.
The following story was written by Associate Professor of Nursing Jackie Miller, upon returning from the annual health care mission to Mexico in August with students in Nursing 199. The students earn one credit for traveling with the group for four days, delivering outpatient health care to Mexican clients of all ages. The students pay all of their travel expenses, doing significant fundraising on their own to cover their own expenses, as well as covering expenses for supplies and donations to some of the clients they serve.
During their trip this year, the students "adopted" a tiny infant, Anjel, who had undergone several surgeries to correct a defect in his intestines. The baby's mother needed medical supplies to treat her son at home, and Anjel needs one more surgery to allow him to lead a normal life, so the students collected $3,500 toward his care and are continuing to raise an additional $700 that would cover all of the baby's expenses. If you would like more information about donating to the Nursing 199 student's collection for Anjel, contact Administrator for Global Initiatives, Robert Queen, at ext. 5013.
Our Health Care Mission to Mexico -
By Jackie Miller, associate professor of Nursing
Nursing students on the health care mission to Mexico are, from left, Kim, Leslie, Charity, Martha and Krissy.How do you describe the feelings of accomplishment when returning from a four-day health care mission to Mexico?
It could be in the satisfaction of knowing that we provided care to 465 patients in two days, in 108-degree temperatures, in a Mexican church with dusty floors, screenless windows, and few fans. It could be in the smiles and greetings of "hola" from the families who trust us to care for them and do not mind waiting hours to see a doctor, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner. It could be in the students who are participating in their first mission in conditions totally foreign to their experience--who cheerfully say, "I will do whatever you need!" The joy I feel in those simple words are indescribable as I think of these students becoming my future colleagues and how well they will do!"
Students who traveled on the mission included Kim, an online fourth-quarter student who joined the mission. She did not really know anyone prior to the team meeting, but easily became a part of our team. Those nursing skills who seem so inadequate and new at home were utilized as she found that she can function as a nurse in very trying conditions.
Leslie is a fourth-quarter student who was the avid fund raiser. A sprained ankle on the first day did not hinder her efforts or enthusiasm. What a pleasure to see her practicing her Spanish and to also feel the same frustration she felt when she could not spend more time with each person.
A "house" in the Colonius where many of our patients lived. Patients often walk miles from here to seek medical care in our clinic.
Krissy is a fourth-quarter student who changed her plans and agreed to join us at the last minute when another student could not attend. She spent her 21 st birthday in Mexico with us. She learned exactly what hospital and medical care means to the people when she accompanied a patient to the hospital and discovered they would not admit her and provide care.
What a worthwhile job, when you see the smiles on the faces of the families we work with!Charity is a fourth-quarter student who was a quiet, calm, and efficient practitioner during our trip. Whether she was working with a physician or in triage, she kept the flow moving. When you are seeing the volume of patients that we see, working efficiently is important.
"Our little angel," Anjel, in the clinic in Mexico to visit with the Columbus State nursing students on the health care mission, August 2005.
Martha is a sixth-quarter student. My favorite moment was Martha saying (with her face soaked with sweat and fatigue obviously in her eyes), "I will do whatever you want me to do." Now that's my type of nurse!
The annual student scholarship fundraiser Taste the Future went off without a hitch with perfect weather, record attendance and a most flavorful celebration of the career of Carol Kizer, one of the founding committee members for the event, and recently retired chairperson of the Hospitality Management Department.

The Purpose of Goals 2000 & School-to-Work
Rep. Henry Hyde's letter to Governor George Ryan (R) of Illinois. (Reprinted by permission.)
Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515-1306
February 1, 1999
Governor George Ryan
Dear George:
On the vital issue of education, please permit me to express my views on some aspects that have far-reaching consequences.
Despite the high-powered marketing spin they receive, the purpose of Goals 2000 and School-to-Work (STW) is to train school children to be entry level workers for the national and global business community, with minimum academic requirements.
It is a top-down, planned program for the workers, funded and/or supported by the government, national organizations, private foundations, labor organizations, and administered by the educators, the NEA, and business councils appointed by governors of each state.
However, it encompasses much more than teaching job skills to the future workforce of America. It is meant to teach students political values but has been fundamentally deficient in academics.
In some but not yet all schools, children are tracked from an early age for job skills required by industry through five- year plans. This cheats children of the opportunity of choosing their own careers voluntarily and getting the best education they deserve.
Vocational training should be available to high school students in their senior year if they decide they do not want to go to college. However, they should not be coerced into learning job skills chosen by school authorities. Job training and political correctness should not be the priority of our schools.
Over the last six years under Goals 2000 and STW, students have failed to meet international education standards once taken for granted in America. The Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) results released February 24, 1998, indicate that students from 19 out of 21 participating countries out-scored U.S. 12th-graders. The Czech Republic, the United States, and Austria were among the lowest-performing countries in both advanced mathematics and physics. Along with previous TIMSS results, the scores showed a disturbing trend. U.S. 4th-graders ranked above the world average in math and science, 8th-graders fell below average, and by the end of high school, U.S. students plummeted to the bottom.
When the TIMSS report was released, President Clinton commented that "America got a wake-up call on education." Actually, it was the country's umpteenth wake-up call including the report called "A Nation At Risk" that was released in 1983. Bringing all of our students down to the lowest common denominator and refusing to let more motivated and talented students reach their learning potential ahead of others is totally unacceptable. Giving our children a lesser education than they are capable of achieving in order to convince them that they must accept menial scale jobs is disgraceful.
There will always be a quotient of potential workers who do not desire higher learning for many reasons, and for them vocational education is a must, but that is for the individual to decide, not the employers of this nation who want entry-level workers.
Junior colleges are meant to be preparatory schools for four-year colleges. They should not change their curriculum to become only vocational training facilities for businesses.
Four-year colleges must raise standards of teaching before future teachers can or will be qualified to teach. Schools must raise their standards of qualifications for teachers. Most public school problems stem from the union. The union stands in the way of firing unqualified teachers, merit raises, standardized testing of teachers, and eliminating tenure. Teachers' salaries have continued to be increased every year, but our children are still failing. We have allowed gross negligence in our schools from elementary through college to undermine the learning and teaching ability of students and teachers.
There is a real danger of changing standardized tests to mask students' inability to perform at acceptable levels. It is easier to lower the standards of testing than it is to bring students up to a level of learning necessary to meet real standards of education.
Competition does not harm children as the self-esteem proclamators would have us believe. Achievement through competition builds self-esteem. Real grades signifying real improvement or need of improvement help children and parents to assess the areas on which they need to concentrate.
The Clinton administration is about a top-down, planned economy, including jobs, health care, and the federal government owning shares of private businesses. The reward to the states for their support for these programs is more federal handouts, but the benefit is not worth the cost. President Clinton just announced in his State of the Union speech that he wants more federal control over schools with federal mandates covering education goals. He also supports increasing numbers of federal healthcare beneficiaries, and the ability to invest social security funds in private investments, which will give his administration unprecedented power to reward his friends and punish his enemies. Federal appropriations for education should be given in the form of block grants without mandates. However, the drive to continue Goals 2000 and School-to-Work does not rest entirely with the federal education bureaucracy. It is just as pervasive at the state and local levels, and must be reversed at every level of education.
If state governors do not want to become puppets of the federal government, they must say no to the nationalization of our schools, our workers, and private businesses.
These are problems that I have been combating for years, and unfortunately, have not been able to defeat in Congress. I will keep trying on the federal level and I hope you, George, will help defeat them at the state level. I promised parents and concerned citizen organizations that I would work with you on education reform, if you recall, at our meeting with them during the campaign. I hope this letter clarifies some of the problems that we have identified in the area of education. I will be happy to meet with you any time in the future to further discuss real school reform. I very much appreciate your time and attention to this very important matter.
Very truly yours,
Henry Hyde

The Skagit Bridge should be fully repaired by this fall. That's according to Washington Senator Patty Murray. She chairs the Senate Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee. The I-5 span over the Skagit River north of Seattle collapsed last month.
At a hearing Thursday, Murray said that until it's fixed, commuters, vacationers and commercial traffic will all be delayed.
"Local businesses are continuing to feel the impact of the bridge collapse, and businesses far and wide who rely on I-5 to move goods are going to find it takes a lot longer to get their products to customers," she says.
Murray says the U.S. Department of Transportation is releasing the remaining federal share of money to repair the bridge.
Victor Menendez is the head of the Federal Highway Administration. He told the hearing that two temporary spans will be in place over the Skagit River in a week (by June 20). Traffic over the bridges will be limited to 35 mph.

DirecTV patronage rockets
Page Tools
News Corporation's satellite television arm DirecTV has claimed a hefty 49 per cent growth in net subscriber numbers for the September quarter after an aggressive drive to expand its customer base.
However, the growth came at a cost: the net loss at America's No.1 satellite TV group ballooned in the third quarter to $US1.01 billion ($A1.35 billion) from a loss a year earlier of $US23 million.
This year's result included a $US903 million after-tax write-down of the value of the company's satellites.
The pay TV group's figures came a day ahead of News' own first-quarter profits and on the eve of its US incorporation.
Despite the numbers, News, which last year bought 34 per cent of DirecTV's then owner Hughes Electronics for $US6.6 billion, expects the business to break even next year.
Earlier, News told shareholders that the subscriber numbers were growing much faster than expected but that it might make asset write-downs worth as much as $US1.6 billion.
The Australian Federal Court yesterday approved News' scheme of arrangement implementing the US incorporation.
Holders of ordinary and preferred stock will receive one share of News Corp US stock for every two shares they now hold.
After the close of trade on the Australian Stock Exchange yesterday, News shares were suspended from quotation, with the securities in the newly incorporated US entity due to start trading on a deferred settlement basis on the exchange today, after the company announces its results.
The new stock is expected to open at double the price the old shares closed at yesterday. The ordinary shares rose 54 ¢ to $11.50 while the preferred, non- voting stock rose 23.1 ¢ to $10.851.
International investors boosted volume in each security to about 130 million because of a reweighting in international indices.

Just a Peace Rally? Read the Fine Print
This Sunday's "End Occupation" rally in Hollywood has led Jewish watchdog groups to be concerned about the increasing anti-Semitism of the antiwar movement.
"How did the antiwar movement become anti-Semitic?" asked Amanda Susskind, regional director of the Pacific Southwest Region of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). "I don't think all anti-Israel statements are anti-Semitic, but I do believe anti-Zionism statements are anti-Semitic."
Antiwar rally organizers have struggled this year between anti-American and anti-Israel platforms and outreach to key leftist Jewish peace activists such as Tikkun magazine founder Rabbi Michael Lerner. Anti-war rallies have been by hosted virulent, at times profanity-driven, anti-Israel speakers, while an open split in the antiwar left began last January after San Francisco activists tried to ban pro-Israel Lerner from a rally speaking slot.
"Even someone as far left as Michael Lerner finds himself not kosher enough for the antiwar movement," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
The "End Occupation" march on Sunday, Sept. 28, starts at noon at Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, with a rally at 2 p.m. at Hollywood and Highland, as protesters denounce Israel plus U.S. policy on Iraq, Cuba, Syria and elsewhere. It is being organized by the Los Angeles chapter of International Answer, a far-left group closely tied to the U.S.-based, pro-North Korea Workers World Party; the chapter's listed coalition or steering committee members include the National Lawyers Guild, the Palestinian-American Women's Association, the Free Palestine Alliance and the local chapter of the American-Arab Discrimination Committee.
Rally endorsers do not include the Progressive Jewish Alliance but do include college student groups and a typical grab-bag of obscure, leftist or Israel-hostile peace groups such as the Coalition for World Peace and cultish Fidel Castro socialists. Also listed as rally endorsers are the Palestine Solidarity Committee, Al-Bireh Palestine Society and the Palestine Aid Society.
Some peace groups feel the anti-war movement has gone too far.
"We are uncomfortable with the strident, and I guess, over-the-top method of the ANSWER coalition," said Rabbi Haim Dov Beliak, a progressive Jewish Alliance board member. Beliak said that at a local ANSWER-Run Rally last spring, "Part of what they were doing was they were egging people on to get arrested."
He also said that PJA and Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace — another group in which Beliak is involved — did not endorse the rally out of respect for the Jewish Holiday.
The Palestinian activist agenda at such U.S. events seems to be, "to sort of push the antiwar movement [into thinking], 'If people hate Bush, they should hate Israel,'" said Cooper. "It seems to have worked very well in Europe, it hasn't gotten traction here."
Of growing concern to British Jews is the rally's build-up event in London — a Sept. 27 demonstration marking the third anniversary of the Palestinian intifada. Alongside the British antiwar movement's anti-Israel wing, a key event organizer is the Muslim Association of Britain; the group's Web site recently promoted the Sept. 9 London lecture, "The Roots and Nature of the Zionist Project," by Abdelwahab El-Messiri, an Egyptian professor whose Arabic language books include, "Secrets of the Zionist Mind" and "The Invisible Hand: A Study in Secret and Subversive Jewish Movements."
Anti-war celebrities, notably Martin Sheen, spoke at U.S. peace rallies earlier this year, but generally did not distance themselves from the event's harsher anti-Zionist speakers. Susskind said the ADL has not approached activist actors about what's being said at the rallies.
"We could do more outreach to the celebrities in our own backyard," she said.
Coinciding with this year's Sept. 11 memorial services, the ADL issued a separate report, "Unraveling Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories" about Israeli and Jewish involvement being central to fringe thinking on the attacks.
The ADL believes that various conspiracy theories, "are essentially updated versions of classical anti-Semitic canards," focusing in part on supposed Jewish influence at the World Trade Center, on Wall Street and in geopolitics.
"The Big Lie has been repeated by imams, the press and government officials in the Arab world,"ADL national director Abraham Foxman stated in the report, "and is contributing to disturbing and dangerous mutations in global anti-Semitism."

i developed a simple web application by mvc4 on .net4.5 to test bundling i thins this is a greate feature and i like it.
i created a div with background image for it.in theme folder create my style sheet file and add it to my view when i run my sample
div show it's background image and works nice but when i change bundling mode to release mode by adding this syntax
( BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; ) in global scape file and run it again background image can not be shown .
i test it in this mode and change image path to background-image: url('themes/500.jpg'); and it works but as i know it should work without themes in part of images pas and if image pas is wrong how it works in debug mode?
i want to know is it a bug or i did some things wrong?

blablabla

Can you please past the code where you add the style bundle in you bundle config file.
The path string you use in the view has to resemble the folder structure of where the css file reside. For example, if your css file is under the folder ~/Content/Themes then the first parameter string when you config the bundle has to be this same path string plus another subfolder like string to make it unique. Then the references will work properly.
Taking ~/Content/Themes as an example
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/Themes/css") .Include("~/Content/Themes/sample.css"));
Cheers, Amila

WASHINGTON – U.S. President Barack Obama is not officially endorsing a Democratic candidate to replace him just yet, but he had some high praise for "wicked smart" Hillary Clinton.
With voting about to begin, the outgoing commander-in-chief avoided doing down Clinton's rival for the party nomination, Bernie Sanders, but was effusive about a woman he bested on the path to the White House.
Describing Clinton as ready to start in the Oval Office right away, Obama said the former secretary of state had more experience than any other candidate who was not vice president.
"She's extraordinarily experienced — and, you know, wicked smart and knows every policy inside and out," Obama told Politico in an interview released Monday.
"It means that she can govern and she can start here, day one," but, he warned, "sometimes could make her more cautious and her campaign more prose than poetry."
Clinton is the prohibitive favorite to win the Democratic nomination, but has long struggled to rally enthusiasm among large crowds or electrify the party base.
Eight years ago Obama successfully used that weakness to his advantage, making soaring oratory the centerpiece of his 2008 win.
With less than a week to go until Iowa voters have the first say about who the Democratic and Republican nominees should be in 2016, Clinton and party outsider Sanders are in a statistical tie.
Commenting on suggestions that Sanders — who has focused heavily on economic issues — is not a well-rounded candidate, Obama said he was not going to dish out advise.
"Obviously what he's doing is working," said Obama, before adding that as president "you don't have the luxury of just focusing on one thing."
"There's no doubt that Bernie has tapped into a running thread in Democratic politics that says: Why are we still constrained by the terms of the debate that were set by Ronald Reagan 30 years ago?
"That has an appeal and I understand it," Obama said, adding: "I think that what Hillary presents is a recognition that translating values into governance and delivering the goods is ultimately the job of politics."

I don't read on a regular basis but when I do it's about all I do. While I do like some fiction I'll usually be reading some non-fiction history book I took an interest in.
My TV habits are probably pretty predictable. Just about any HBO, Shotime, FX, or AMC show as well as the Daily Show and Colbert Report on a regular basis.
I like a wide variety of music from about every genre except for soft rock/adult contemporary and modern popular country. My radio is usually tuned to KDHX or NPR.
Food, I eat just about anything. I hate the term foodie but that's probably what I am. I have a lot of friends in the restaurant industry and I love to cook as well as eat, a good meal.
Somewhere to cook
Fun in some form of water
A bar
Six things I'd love to do with out:
a smart phone
a computer
a mortgage
doing my taxes

The New York Mets (49-58) defeated the Kansas City Royals (54-52) Friday night by a score of 4-2 in 11 innings. Eric Young Jr. homered for the Mets in the bottom of the eleventh with two outs and Omar Quintanilla on first, taking Luis Mendoza (L, 2-6) deep to right field to win the ballgame. Carlos Torres (W, 2-2) picked up the win in relief tossing two scoreless innings.
Game Highlights
- Royals starter Wade Davis lasted only five innings, allowing two runs on eight hits with five strikeouts.
- Dillon Gee performed exceptionally well, allowing just one run on three hits over seven innings while walking two and striking out four.
- David Wright left the game in the tenth inning with a strained hamstring suffered while beating out a groundball for an infield single. The Met captain will have a MRI Saturday and is not expected to play in the teams' 1:10 PM game.
- David Aardsma (BS, 2) blew the save, giving up a leadoff double to Miguel Tejada who later scored on a sacrifice fly from Lorenzo Cain.
- Pedro Feliciano appeared in his first game for the Mets since September 29, 2010, recording the last out of the ninth.
Player of the Game
- David Wright gets the nod for PotG with his 2-for-5 effort on the night, getting the Mets off to an early 2-0 lead with his first inning home run that also plated Juan Lagares. Wright later added the infield single that ultimately ended his night prematurely but that hustle, along with providing the only Met offense for the first ten innings.
What's on Deck
- The Mets return to action Saturday afternoon at Citi Field against the Royals, first pitch is scheduled for 1:10 PM on SNY.

Artist: Elizabeth McDonald
Date: 2001
Material: Ceramic tile
Location: Auditorium, Wilbur Cross High School. 181 Mitchell Drive.
Wilbur Cross High School sits at the base of New Haven's prominent geological feature,: East Rock, a vertical red-faced trap rock ridge that rises 365 feet above sea level. Not surprisingly, Elizabeth McDonald, chose the beloved face of East Rock as her subject for a series of five mosaic panels. Like an Impressionist, McDonald finds continual interest in her subject due to the changing effects of light (seasonal and temporal) on the rock.
Described as "painterly" due to the soft effect the powdered pigments give to the mosaics, McDonald suggest that layering her pigments reflects the natural erosion continually occurring at East Rock. The Boston Globe has described McDonald's mosaics as "mysterious and archetypal, and the ragged edges of the tiny squares suggest something ancient."
From Bridgewater, McDonald's work can be seen in several venues in Connecticut, including tile work on the exterior of the Department of Environmental Protection in Hartford. She was awarded the Governor's Arts Award in visual art for her contributions to the "creative heritage" of the state in 1999.

About Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (Sinhalese: , இலங்கை; known as Ceylon before 1972) is an island nation in South Asia, located about 31|km|mi|1|lk=on off the southern coast of India. Popularly referred to as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, it is home to around twenty million people.
Because of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia, and has been a center of Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times. Today, the country is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic nation, with nearly a third of the population following faiths other than Buddhism, notably Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population, with Tamils, who are concentrated in the north and east of the island, forming the largest ethnic minority. Other communities include the Muslim Moors and Malays and the Burghers.
Famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, rubber and coconuts, Sri Lanka boasts a progressive and modern industrial economy and the highest per capita income in South Asia. The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's tropical forests, beaches and landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage, make it a world famous tourist destination.
After over two thousand years of rule by local kingdoms, parts of Sri Lanka were colonized by Portugal and the Netherlands beginning in the 16th century, before the control of the entire country was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. During World War II, Sri Lanka served as an important base for Allied forces in the fight against the Japanese Empire. A nationalist political movement arose in the country in the early 20th century with the aim of obtaining political independence, which was eventually granted by the British after peaceful negotiations in 1948.

One Tucson-area hospital made U.S. News & World Report's annual America's Best Hospital list released this week.
The University of Arizona Medical Center, which has two local campuses, ranked No. 2 in the state behind the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
The local medical center also earned national rankings in ear, nose and throat (No. 30) and in geriatrics (No. 34) and was deemed "high performing" in 10 other specialties — cancer; cardiology and heart surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and GI surgery and in gynecology. Just 147 out of nearly 5,000 U.S. hospitals earned national ranking in one or more of the specialties.
The Mayo Clinic in Arizona ranked nationally in cancer (No. 33), ear, nose and throat (No. 25), GI and GI surgery (No. 20), geriatrics (No. 17), gynecology (No. 26), nephrology (No. 21), neurology and neurosurgery (No. 38), orthopedics (No. 43), pulmonology (No. 50), and urology (No. 31).
In addition, Mayo Clinic in Arizona was recognized as high performing in cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes, and endocrinology and rheumatology.
The rankings were announced July 16 on the U.S. News & World Report web site. Print versions of the guidebook editions will be on sale beginning Aug. 27.
Johns Hopkins Hospital reclaimed the number one spot on the magazine's Hospital Honor Roll, a position it held from 1991 through 2011 but lost last year to Massachusetts General Hospital.
The rankings are determined by patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels, among other data. Another factor was a national survey that asked physicians in each of the 16 specialties to name the hospitals they consider best for the toughest cases in their specialty.

I upgraded my system to CPU AMD|4-CORE FX-4170 4.2G and MB ASUS|M5A97 970 AM3+ SB950 R, and continued to use my EVGA Geforce GT 520. However, after installing the new hardware, my card won't recognize any monitor! I hooked it up to my HP 2009M monitor, which I have used for 3years, and also to my TV via HDMI input, both said that there was "No Source Signal" or "Input."
I'm at a loss at what to do, I checked the mounting, the RAM sticks are fine, and I even reset the CMOS. NOTHING has worked! Does anyone else have any advice? I've spent hours trouble shooting and literally nothing has worked- I even turned off sleep mode on the monitor and flipped the cable.

In defending the Guide team's decision to downplay the cost of education, team leader Robert Morse told Gladwell that "We're just saying we've made this judgment. We're saying we we've interviewed a lot of experts, we've developed these academic indicators, and we think, these measures measure quality schools." Gladwell replies that "As answers go, that's up there with the parental 'Because I said so.'"

I met her first in the Congress. She ran in a tough district, on the slogan "Finally, a tough Democrat." She got elected and she was liked. That's a good place to begin in politics.
When I named her my running mate, we knew Gerry would be popular on the trail. But we were amazed by the reaction--huge crowds everywhere, and always mothers with their daughters coming out to see this new magical person. I think that's where a lot of the change for women began. There were two female U.S. Senators then. There are 17 now. There are 74 women in the House. It wasn't dramatic, it wasn't overnight. But I really believe it was those young daughters at those rallies, as they grew up, slowly choosing careers that built up their own possibilities.
But I think it was tougher for Gerry, who died March 26 at 75, than it seems today. We went down to Mississippi, and some old farmer said, "Young lady, do you make good blueberry muffins?" And she said, "Yes. Do you?" That was the kind of thing that she was bumping up against. She had to keep her cool. She had to be nice about it. And yet she was undergoing a revolution. It wasn't just automatic. It was her guts and her vision and the depth of her beliefs that helped her get it done.

I set the fountain up a few months ago, using a pot of horsetail reed as the only plant in it. It looked a little bare. And I'm afraid I was a little slipshod about the maintenance recently, resulting in a lot of nasty algae building up. A pond with algae loses much of its appeal, although Linus the cat seemed to like playing with the gross green scum floating around in it.
So this weekend I made it my mission to improve the fountain. In order to make it look a bit more lush I purchased a variegated acorus to go beside the horsetail. This morning I took the whole thing apart, scrubbed it out, and reassembled it. This is the result:
You will notice the slightly handicapped concrete frog to the right of the fountain. This frog used to reside in my grandmother's backyard in a little grotto that my grandfather built in the corner. When I was about nine, we moved to a house that had a pond in the backyard that had been filled in. We spent an Easter vacation digging out the pond, cleaning it up and refilling it with water and fish, and then my grandmother brought the frog over to stand guard at the edge of the pond. When we moved from that house several years later, the frog went back to my grandmother's house, where in an unfortunate accident the gardener accidentally amputated its forearms with a weed-whacker. After my grandmother died and the family was closing up her house, I brought the frog back to my apartment where it lived in a cramped hallway (and then after I'd stubbed my toe on it a few times, in an even more cramped closet) until I moved to this house four years ago. At long last, the concrete frog, now named Venus de Frog-o, has found another pond to stand guard at.

I love the venus de frogo story, one's spaces should have history and meaning and your frog gives your pond/planting that. I think you stubbed your toe because he wasn't very happy away from water, now he should be very pleased! The pot has the face of the Buddha, the half closed eyes and the long earlobes are symbols of wisdom and enlightenment reached through meditation. OOOmmmmmReplyDelete
Venus has a wonderful history... I love that story, but my jaw did drop when I read about her getting amputated by a weed wacker! Eek.ReplyDelete
The pot is gorgeous, and I love his variegated "hair" coming out the top.
Why can't I seem to source any cool pots with international flavor here? As far as garden pots go, the local nurseries don't stock many, so the big box stores are about all the choice we have. Nothing as fun as what you found though....ReplyDelete

Hey, that is one very lovely vignette you have. The tones are muted and attractive. Inspiring! The Tale of the Frog is delightful and made me smile. So very important for that frog to be with you in this home. BTW, the prices you quote for pots in Calif are much better than the prices we find here in NY! Good for you. I'm just getting my NY balcony set up and I'm debating whether just to purchase a small fountain or to do the large bowl or pot as you've done. Thank you for your post.ReplyDelete

On the drive-in, Adine stopped the car while Davy invoiced his available cash at sixty-five dollars.
There was no manifest, for there was no cargo to be invoiced.
Believing that they were merely to be invoiced without reference to their sale, I stated only their lowest value.
These cows were not for Almayer, however; they were invoiced to Abdullah bin Selim, his enemy.
In point of fact, my uncle had this very watch "invoiced to him" at twice the price he now put it at.
He cant hurt those big boxes: they are invoiced as clay, and to pull them about is as harmless a thing as he can do.
The order received by mail is written up and invoiced in quadruplicate on a snap-out form.
As we did not want "hardware," as munitions of war were then invoiced, we proceeded to load.
I invoiced my stock in trade and found I had just thirteen bottles of polish on hand, and immediately went to work.
After washing them we invoiced about twenty-six dozen whole, and four dozen cracked.
1550s, apparently from Middle French envois, plural of envoi "dispatch (of goods)," literally "a sending," from envoyer "to send" (see envoy). As a verb, 1690s, from the noun.

Casa Quickie: Dress For the Drive-By
Selling your house? I'm sure you know all about staging your interiors, or decorating them to sell. But had you considered what impression you're making on the exterior? Many people on the house hunt do drive-bys of houses on the market before they set up an appointment to view them, because online real estate listings can be misleading. Plenty of house-hunters cruise through prospective neighborhoods to scout out "for-sale" signs, too. So, you should do whatever you can to make your house stand out. Paint your front door a bright (but beautiful) color. Plant window boxes filled with colorful flowers. Keep your grass freshly cut. Get new house numbers and make sure they're legible from the road. Give your shutters a power-wash, or a fresh coat of paint. Make sure your interior curtains are hung symmetrically. Don't let your newspapers pile up in the driveway. Consider the small details: they can make an expensive difference.

The Dutch Man's Spam Ham
by Jacquelyn Stam
It was
a quaint autumn's night on the premises of the Spam Ham factory. The
workers had gone home from a longs days work, and Clam the security man
had just begun his night shift.
Spam Ham
Incorporated, at this time, had grown well known throughout the world.
For who could miss a four story building at the corner of Main St. and
Old Orchard Rd. in the extraordinarily huge town of Belleville On. This
large building stored masses of dead pigs that were packaged into tin
cans every day of the workweek. The property that was most distinguished
as Spam Ham was the label on its in cans. This label read, "No One Packs
Me Better!" with a pink pig holding a fork and knife, ready for a pig
scoop… I mean a big scoop of Spam Ham. Now who could resist such a
beautiful thing! Tis exactly why an excellent security officer was
was a good honest officer. His bodily features shot fear into intruders
(for he was very much obese), but under his round belly and bulging
shoulders was a heart that beat more trustworthy than any soul on the
face of the planet. Therefore such a man was quite worthy of keeping the
large corporation safe and sound.
Meanwhile, outside this magnificent establishment, a devious scheme was
being put to work. A man's figure dressed in black stood near one of the
windows on the side of the concrete wall with a glasscutter in one hand
and a donut in the other. (Hey! Policemen aren't the only ones who go to Timmies!) The being was covered from head to toe in black velvet except
for his eyes, which were shielded with the newest technology in making
infrared beams viewable to the human eye. These special glasses were
called the "Super Secret Spy Goggles 3000."
As the blade of the glasscutter slit through the windowpane, everything
was silent. All that could be heard was the wind rustling through the
leaves of the trees. Once the pane was completely separate from the
frame, the dark man slipped through window and into the interior of Spam
Ham Factory.
Once inside, he moved silently through the empty halls, rooms, and
corridors to the processing room. This was Spam's main packaging area.
Here, tin cans were set, labeled, then filled with ham.
The black man moved over toward the labeling station, ducking
infrared beams. After he had reached the machine, he tore the label role
from where it was strung through, flipped it around, and replaced it
back in. Now, the labels would be on inside out, therefore becoming less
attractive to the buyer. So the process had been complete and the man
turned back to exit the building form where he had come, But when he
turned back on his heel, he noticed a fishy difference; the red beams
that originally stretched across the open space, were no longer there.
The man's first instinct was curiosity but then he realized that there
was only one reason for he absence of the red streaks, his super secret
spy goggles had failed him. He started walking back slowly, knowing that
any minute he could hit an invisible beam.
Clam, the five star officer, was strolling along the hallway heading
toward the main offices when the entire building shook with the sounds
of alarms everywhere. Immediately, he pulled out his walky-talky and
radioed the police station. Then he phoned Charlie Stam, the owner of
the entire business, at his white house in Carrying Place. After the
phoning was done, he accessed the security main system from his
multi-purpose watch and checked out where the infrared beams had been
hit. It seemed that the culprit was running from the main processing
room to the side of the building. Clam knew exactly what path the
burglar would take. He hopped into the elevator that led down to that exact
hallway. As he stepped out of the elevator, he was struck with a blow of
somebody running down the hall. Since Mr. Clam, the tough Security Man,
was very large he stood still with out the slightest trace of ever being
A black lump in the shape of a man was huddled on the floor at the feet
of the towering giant, not only struck physically, but mentally. For the
little man was scarred with fear of the large figure that cast a huge
shadow over him.
Sirens and the screech of tires stopping outside the building were
heard. Lights flashed and the approaching deep voices got louder until a
group of six policemen surrounded the now doomed man lying on the floor.
"What is going on?" Charlie Stam said in an unconcerned tone. The head
investigator walked over to where he was sitting in his new red Mazda
"Oh! Good evening Mr. Stam! There was just a little break in incident
tonight, nothing out of the ordinary. Herman VanStrudle was taken to the
police station and is being questioned at the very moment. My men are
investigating the premises, looking for clues about the break in. But no
worries Mr. Stam! Everything is under control. The building will be
ready for work tomorrow morning."
"Yes, that is what I figured. I guess I will do the usual and check in
at the police station to so what this man was up to? Ok, thank you
officer, and goodnight!"
"Yes goodnight Mr. Stam"
~And so it ends another unsuccessful attempt to mess up the Dutch man's
Spam Ham. All shall become peaceful again in the wonderfully hick (but
extraordinarily hip) town of Belleville.~

owever, your roof won't normally choose warm and also clear days to break, certainly it is a lot more typical for your roofing system to create leakages and also problems when the rain is oppressing and the wind is blowing a windstorm. Also if the roofing system does get ruined on a calm day it is truly rather unlikely that you will certainly see up until the climate changes. A minimum of without routine upkeep it will certainly be. If you find it completely vital when setting up roofing tiles in winter there are particular points you should recognize, although it is always far better to repair your roofing system on a calm day; it may not seem needed at the time however it is more secure for you and also your roofing system.
Mounting roofing shingles in winter threatens.
Increasing on your roofing system from The Roofing Doctor in winter, particularly when there is ice or snow is potentially very dangerous certainly. Any website traffic on your roof need to be prevented any place possible because an unsafe roofing is most likely to cause a quite serious fall. If you do need to go on the roof covering to perform repairs you should constantly ensure that the roof covering itself, ladders and any type of devices you will certainly be making use of is completely dry and safely safeguarded.
You could damage product if setting up roofing shingles in winter.
Getting rid of ice or snow from the roof covering can trigger severe as well as incurable damage to the roofing system. Scarping away at anything on your roofing can quickly result in you eliminating the protective surface area on the tiles, and also this surface is the very best defense you can obtain versus the aspects. It prevents damage to the product itself and makes sure that any type of water will certainly run smoothly off your roof covering surface area without collecting. Removing it implies your roof is much more vulnerable to leakage. Additionally, the slightest knock to a freezing cool shingle is most likely to damage it very easily.
Things to think about when setting up roofing roof shingles in cold weather.
The most vital point to keep in mind in case you need to install roof covering tiles in winter is your personal safety. Traversing a sloping roof in icy problems is near suicidal as well as ought to be prevented whatsoever expenses. There is a reason that you can't obtain a roofing contractor to come out as well as repair your roofing from http://www.theroofdoctor.com.au/ in these conditions and also it isn't really because it's also cool to function. Snow is no far better and even morning dew could create a really slippery surface that is possibly deadly to anybody attempting to walk on the roof covering. Nonetheless, if you do have to change a tile try to remain on the ladder as well as make certain to handle the shingles with as much treatment as possible to make sure that you do not damage them. You will certainly have to by hand secure the tabs of the shingles down on your own, because the heat of the sunlight typically triggers the glue strips, yet this undoubtedly will not be possible in winter.READ MORE

The Milwaukee drinking game
Drinking games are juvenile, frequently dangerous and usually a distant memory for anyone over the age of 21.
But, also, undeniably fun.
If you're of a certain age, you might remember the "Star Trek: The Next Generation Drinking Game" (drink whenever a "red shirt extra" gets shot by a phaser). If you're a little older, you might remember the Bob Newhart version (drink every time someone says, "Hi, Bob"). So, we're not talking the drinking card games, like "Circle of Death" where the rules are so complicated that the game's never the same every time you play it.
Here's a Milwaukee version of yet another excuse to imbibe (we call it "binge drinking" not "alcoholism" around our office).
As usual, add your own versions using our Talkbacks below. But for now, bring along a designated driver and start playing …

- Drink twice if there's a story about a house overrun with cats (might as well down the bottle if it's on your block)
2 shots for every time the person sitting next to you says, "Who the heck is Lauren Leamanczyk?"

Dumb Waukesha Republican Drinking Game 1. Drink When someone in Waukesha claims that global warming is a hoax just because it is January and it is 10 degrees out 2. Drink when a Waukesha Republican Supports the Badger Sports teams even though the school and most of the students have a vastly different opinion on political issues that completley clash with their own values 3. Drink when a Waukesh Republican says that they will never enter Milwaukee County Again 4. Drink when a Waukesha Republican says the following sentence "My god damn taxes are paying for services that I dont use, so hence they are stupid" 5. Drink when a Waukesha republican picks on someone from Illinois 6. Drink when a young Waukesha republican makes you take a tour of their subdivision home that they bought on an adjustable rate mortgage right after they graduated from UW-Stout and have just landed a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Of course you might want to just kill yourself at this point because the tour is going to blow as they have nothing remotely cool in their house that would even warrant such a tour. Thank god I am about to move out of Waukesha.

Not lame because the drinking game ideas are lame. The article is lame. Nothing personal against any contributor, but a professional low for what could be a cool website.

funny and lame. but, if you think it's so lame -- come up with your own lists and games. why not rip on channel 4? since gousha left it is pretty sad. although, i haven't really watched in months. who does anymore? maybe that's a game, drink once when something actually shows up on t.v. news that matters.
