First, hello everyone.. This is my first post here.
I'm having some difficulty getting this up and running. I downloaded BT5-KDE-64.. I used HashCalc to determine that everything so far, was good to go.. Then used UNetbootin USB Installer, and that went well.. The problem I'm having is, after loading up from USB, i get to that menu screen. I let it run Default and it comes up to the screen where it cycles through files and whatnot, but then.. I get a grey screen, like on a TV with no signal, but the static isn't moving.. I don't know how else to explain it, lol.. Any who, if anyone can point me in the right direction and let me know what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate it!
Details? System type? Video card? etc....
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

" Brand: Damart / Product Type: Fleece "
===The Product===
Fleece faux sheepskin blanket.
100% polyester.
Can be washed at 30 degrees.
Made in China.
Keep away from fires.
51 x 66 inches.
Comes in two colours Ruby or Mocha.
Was £20 but now on sale for £10 - I had a £6 voucher too.
Postage is £2.95.
===My Opinion===
I have been fancying a cosy throw for some time but all the faux sheepskin ones I have seen have been too expensive. One on Lakeland website works out around £40 including delivery.
This throw I found on the Damart website - originally costing £20 but currently reduced to half price.
I was lucky enough to also have a £6 off voucher that they had sent me so even adding on the £2.95 postage I managed to get this throw for £6.95 which I thought was a bargain.
I already have a hat and mittens in this sort of fabric so knew that it was warm and cosy.
The throw itself has is faux sheepskin or shirling as they are now tending to call it.
One side being fluffy and cream while the other is a fleece fabric bonded on to it - I chose the Mocha which is a lovely mid brown the colour of milk chocolate.
The throw has a three quarter inch hem turned and stitched down around the four sides.
The other colour choice is burgundy which is a deep wine colour which I would also like to get at some point.
This fabric is quite expensive to buy so even if you only purchased it to use for other things it is still good value - you could make it into cushions, a scarf or wrap or hats.
Possibly not as quality as some of the very expensive ones - but still good value for what I paid for it.
This throw is a decent size for one person to use and although I use mine in the bedroom it can be equally as useful as a throw on a settee to either put over yourself or to sit on - as it is lovely and soft and soon makes you feel nice and cosy.
I keep mine to use as an extra covering when sitting up in bed as my bedroom faces north and has a draughty window so is the coldest room in the house.
Trying not too use so much oil for the central heating these days this is lovely and cosy and the fluffy side soon traps your body heat and you feel lovely and warm.
Warmer than a basic fleece blanket this is lightweight and can also be used for lying on in bed if you are feeling very cold.
This is a lovely throw which is of a decent size but small enough to be carried round the house to where you need it.
This is washable and although I have no need to clean mine yet this sort of fabric does wash well as I have done my gloves and hat a few times which are made from the same fabric.
Great for yourself in these days of austerity or as an inexpensive gift for an elderly relative or neighbour.
===Star Rating===
5 stars.
===Would I Recommend?===

This story was originally published June 2, 2011. CHICAGO ( MainStreet) -- The market for technology start-ups is vast and growing, but it doesn't take pages and pages of business projections or even an off-the-charts innovative idea to get a venture capital firm on board. Lightbank is a Chicago-based firm focused on early-stage technology companies. Its founders, Eric Lefkovsky and Brad Keywell, were the brains behind the daily deal Web site Groupon ( GRPN).
Lightbank looks to invest primarily in early-stage technology companies. But the firm also serves as mentor, taking a hands-on role to help promising entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Paul Lee, a partner at Lightbank, spoke with us about the companies the firm is eyeing and how small tech firms can get noticed. What are some specific technology areas with a lot of startup activity right now? Lee: One is what I'd like to call customer acquisition. That really is like a Groupon. The beauty about Groupon is it's the ultimate performance marketing -- you're only really paying for customers that are literally walking through your door. The flip side is the loyalty aspect. Of your existing customers, how do you get them to come back? We've actually been looking at that space. On the customer acquisition side, we announced
in June an investment in a company called OpenChime -- a consumer can get bids on any service you're looking for. I used the service to get quotes on roof repair. For those companies it's a great source for new leads. The other aspect of performance marketing is that small businesses don't really have time to manage their social media tools. What they want is to manage them in-house, but not hire expensive consultants to do that. We invested in Sprout Social, which will manage their brand online. What characteristics does Lightbank look for in an investment? Lee: Right off the bat, a passionate and intelligent management team. You'd be amazed at the number of companies we pass on because we're not as bullish on management. Also, is the sector they are attacking really a large market? At times, business owners' original theses are flat-out wrong, and so what needs to happen is that the business needs to pivot into something that does work. At the end of the day, we're betting on the management teams. We're really looking for a track record of excellence in whatever they've done.

When most of us think about John LeCarre's novels (and their adaptations for the big and small screens), we probably think of George Smiley, an aging bureaucrat tracking down a KGB mole; or Alec Leamas, a disillusioned spies realizing that both sides play the same tired game that only results in the suffering of innocents. In the post-Cold War era, the conflict is no longer between bureaucrats of spy agencies, but between idealists and the corrupting influences of big business on democratic governments (e.g. The Constant Gardener).
But AMC's six-part miniseries of The Night Manager, adapted from LeCarre's novel of the same name, turns those stereotypes on their head with a tale of forbidden love and stylish espionage. The Night Manager follows Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), an almost obsequiously polite functionary in some of the world's most exclusive hotels, whose reaction to a traumatic event in the first episode is to infiltrate the entourage of the ruthless arms dealer Richard Roper (played by Hugh Laurie), who's currently engaged in selling weapons to the forces of repression in Egypt, after the Arab Spring of 2011. Pine is recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), an idealistic (and heavily pregnant) British intelligence agent who has dedicated her life to bringing Roper down and finally, in Pine, has the means and opportunity to do so; rounding out the main characters, Pine's mission is potentially compromised by his dangerous and undeniable attraction to Roper's beautiful and damaged young mistress, Jed (Elizabeth Debicki).

Double jeopardy: What it means
The so-called double jeopardy legal tradition in England and Wales means that if you are cleared of a crime, you cannot be tried twice for the same offence.
BBC legal affairs correspondent Jon Silverman outlines the law and its implications.
If the law on double jeopardy was reformed, the case of Billy Dunlop might be re-examined.
Dunlop, from Billingham on Teesside, was twice tried and on the second occasion acquitted, of murdering a pizza delivery girl, Julie Hogg.
Ms Hogg went missing in November 1989 and her body was discovered behind a bath panel in February the following year.
Nine years after his two trials in 1991, Dunlop faced a court again - this time on a charge of perjury.
He confessed to the murder and was jailed for six years.
As the law stands, he cannot be re-tried for murder.
But if Law Commission recommendations are implemented, the confession would almost certainly count as new evidence and could form the basis for a re-trial.
Gangland killings
Another case is that of the notorious East End gangster, Freddie Foreman, who has escaped prosecution after admitting on television that he had committed two murders for the Kray twins, Reggie and Ronnie.
Foreman was acquitted of the murders of Frank " Mad Axeman " Mitchell and Tommy " Ginger " Marks in the 1960s.
Whether a fresh prosecution of Foreman, now 68, would be considered in the interests of justice is debatable.
A change in the double jeopardy law would certainly result in pressure for a re-examination of a case which created public shock last year.
Michael Weir was convicted of murdering 79-year-old Leonard Harris in North London.
DNA evidence
The crucial evidence was blood found on his gloves and subjected to DNA analysis.
This showed a match with a sample of Weir's blood taken in connection with drugs offences a year earlier.
The Court of Appeal ruled that this was a breach of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and should have been ruled inadmissible.
As a result, Weir was cleared by the appeal court.
Subsequently, that decision was overturned by the Law Lords but Weir remains free on a technicality.
However, the Law Commission report says that the double jeopardy rule should be waived only where there is compelling new evidence.
The Weir case poses this question: does the same DNA evidence which could have convicted him at his trial count as "new" if it was presented again at a fresh murder trial ?
The appeal court would have to decide.
It was, of course, the Stephen Lawrence murder and the Macpherson Report which prompted the government to ask the Law Commission to look at the double jeopardy rule.
But even if the law is changed, the three Lawrence suspects who were acquitted of murder (after a private prosecution brought by Stephen's parents) can only face the same charge again if there is fresh, reliable and compelling evidence.
It remains a matter of conjecture as to whether that exists.

A couple of years back I designed a theme that was centered around a business website. A theme that has a featured slider in the homepage, nice sharp edges, subtle backgrounds and slight gradients. It was called Eureka.
The theme went for sale in Themeforest – and it did pretty well the first several months – but finally reached its non selling point. Today I'm giving this theme away for free. The .psd files are also FREE and is a separate download).
At first look, you will fall in love with Eureka's balanced design. A solid black header with just enough room for your logo and page navigation. The large feature slider will sure get your message out: loud and clear. The sharp containers that house the posts and sidebars are classic and well crafted. You will notice the comments area, social buttons, icons and footer – all complete the design as part of the whole. Your visitors will love your website – and for that, will want your business. Give Eureka a try.
Theme options are available to make it easier to customize Eureka. Note that you don't have to know web design to use this template. Most of the controls are in the admin section – under Appearance > Theme Options. Additional documentation can be found in this series of posts. Download the theme from this link and don't forget to leave a comment below.

Sean S.wrote a review of Asolo Fugitive Gore-Tex Boot - Men's on May 1, 2013
No Dice
I originally bought these back in 2005, and they were fantastic. Lasted about 6 years. I bought a backup pair in 2007, which I broke out in 2011. They lasted about a year until the toe guards came unglued and separated. I gave them one more chance and bought another pair just because they were always comfortable, and that?s hard to find. This pair gave me a wicked blister on my heel. I tried all kinds of sock thicknesses, merino sock liners, different lacing methods, but no dice. Had to return them. It?s a shame, because they used to be perfect. Kudos to Backcountry for their excellent return policy and customer service.

Coveted(?) Crib: The House That $1.75 Bought
A woman from Chicago is the proud winner of the eBay auction of an abandoned home in Saginaw, MI, according to Saginaw News. Her high bid? $1.75. Thirty-year-old Joanne Smith went up against seven other bidders to claim the house, but she has no plans to move there. "I am going to try to sell it. I don't have any plans to move to Saginaw. I don't have any plans of moving from (Chicago)," she says. This is not the story of the homes in Sicily selling for one Euro, though. The abandoned home is in disrepair and has changed hands seven times since 1999. And, as it turns out, the real cost of the house is a bit more than a buck-75. Smith must pay back taxes on the house and a trash/weed cleanup bill by March 31, setting the final price. To see this Saginaw home,

Home > National News > Article
Farmer Alan Brown feels "close to euphoric".
On Saturday night, he says, "I went to sleep, smiling". After the worst drought he has seen in 32 years of farming, heavy rain was tumbling down on his metal roof, 35 kilometres east of Wagga Wagga.
"It was a beautiful sound," he recalled yesterday. It started at 4pm on Saturday, and by the time it stopped on Sunday, 38 millimetres - about half his normal rain for all of August - had fallen.
The wild weekend weather that brought destructive winds to Sydney also delivered NSW some of the best rain of the year.
Between 8am on Saturday and 6am on Sunday 76 millimetres were recorded at Coonabarabran. The weather bureau also recorded 68 millimetres at Orange, 51 at Mudgee, 47 at Trangie, 40 at Narrabri Airport and 39 at Young.
While it was still far too early to say if the drought had finally broken, Keith Perrett, president of the Grains Council of Australia, was confident enough to predict NSW's crops this year "may even be slightly above average".
The weekend rain dumped 36 millimetres on Mr Perrett's own property, 20 kilometres north of Gunnedah. "We had one of our worst seasons ever last year," he said, noting he had managed to harvest only 20 per cent of his normal crop. But this year's outlook was far better, thanks to rain that began in autumn.
"That really started putting the moisture back in the ground," said Mr Perrett, who before the weekend was "still looking for another 40 millimetres". The weekend falls - virtually all he had wished for - "ensured we will have some sort of wheat crop".
With one more fall in September or October, he predicted, his crop this year could be "20 to 30 per cent above average".
But he warned that much of NSW was still in trouble. "I can go 40 kilometres south and they are still struggling. I am still worried some areas won't get a crop ... around Walgett and Wee Waa."
At Trangie yesterday, farmer Tom Barclay was busy fixing fences. "We had two inches [about 50 millimetres] a week ago and another two inches on top on the weekend. It's put a smile on our faces," said the cattle and wheat farmer, who described the rain's timing as "perfect". Just a month ago, said Mr Barclay, things were "pretty grim".
But Mr Brown confessed that despite his dams - totally empty a few months ago - now being half full he could not help feeling anxious about the way the rain had come. After five dry months June and July produced near-average falls and August looked set to end the same way.
"Droughts generally end with a bang. I have never seen a big drought end like this... just slipping back into to average rainfall."

The Noobie
eBook (PDF), 28 Pages
Price: $14.95
Julia is a gorgeous redhead, tough as they come and one of the most popular gals on the circuit. She even has an assistant to help her keep up with important things, like travel arrangements, fan mail, paying the bills, and keeping her full-length mirrors polished! In fact, if Julia hadn't been so busy admiring herself in the mirror, she MIGHT have noticed Myla sneaking into her dressing room and incapacitating her, drastically improving Myla's chances of winning! But with a "show must go on" attitude, the injured Julia instructs her assistant to take her place in the ring, and the loyal girl does as she's instructed. Myla is expecting an easy victory against the "noobie" (first time or rookie wrestler), and looks forward to spending the match showing off and destroying the plucky assistant. But the question is - how much can Noobie take - and how much can she dish out? Great story and just-barely-topless art from LYKAMO. 23 images in screen resolution PDF... More > file.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
1. When was the ingestion?
2. What is the mg of Oxycontin ingested?
You may want to make her vomit since the ingestion was so recent. It probably wouldn't cause much more than just some sedation if you let her ride it out but it can cause respiratory depression that is better avoided.
To make her vomit you can give her 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide orally. If she doesn't vomit in 10-15 minutes you can repeat the dose. It may help to give a small amount of food (1/4 cup) prior to giving the hydrogen peroxide.
Let me know how it goes.
That's the only "safe" thing to use that you would have available.
In that case, I would just let her ride it out. You usually will see signs within 4 hours and the half life is 10 hours so by early afternoon she should not have any further signs. The main things to look for would be respiratory depression (slow, shallow respiratory rate or difficulty breathing). At this dose I would be very surprised if you see it but just be on the lookout.
The other option is to go to your local ER vet and get a dose of Naloxone into her- this is a reversal for opioid medications and can be used if any signs are seen or to prevent signs.
I think she'll be fine, but those are your options.

anon announced three fresh new faces that will be sporting its goggles for the 2010/11 season: Jack Mitrani, Johnnie Paxson, and Bode Merrill. You can also check out anon's new looks at its freshly launched Web site.
"With a crew of riders that's hard to beat and some of the best goggles
around, I couldn't be more stoked to be a part of the anon team," said Johnnie Paxson.
According to the release:
In addition to adding three new riders to its ranks, anon has completely re-designed its website, anonoptics.com. With clean, intuitive navigation and a sleek aesthetic, the all-new anon website features in-depth rider profiles, the team's favorite goggle styles and the latest anon product tech.
One of the anon website's most impressive features is an exclusive online tool called the Lens Visualizer that shows what a huge difference the right goggle lens can make in varying mountain conditions. Head to www.anonoptics.com/tech/lens and choose between 16 different lens tints and three different weather conditions: greybird, partly cloudy or bluebird. Then you can virtually follow a rider down the mountain to see what conditions look like behind Yellow, Blue Amber or Green Solex lenses, to name a few. With the widest range of lens tints, anon has riders covered in any weather condition – from white outs to bluebird skies.
Also new this season, fans can follow the anon team at twitter.com/anonoptics and facebook.com/anonoptics.

Jotron Group has announced the launch of Jotron SatCom AS. Jotron SatCom AS will be responsible for the Jotron Group's new SatCom product group joining Maritime Products, Phontech Communication Systems, Consultas Maritime Software and Ground to Air & Coastal Communication as the Group's 5th product group.
Jotron SatCom AS was formed in 2008 and the main shareholder of the company is Jotron AS supported by two partners, Tronrud Engineering AS and Nerasat AS.
The Managing Director of Jotron SatCom AS is Ottar Bjåstad, a long time veteran of the global SatCom business, who commented, "Our vision is to build a new strong Norwegian maritime satellite communication company after the close down of the Nera SatCom company in 2006."
At present Jotron SatCom AS is primarily staffed with management and R&D resources in order to focus on the development and industrialization of a new VSAT stabilized antenna product, other support functions are handled by the mother company Jotron AS. For sales and distribution the company will rely on Jotron´s global distribution and service network.
The highly experienced members of the R&D team all have between 10 and 30 years of experience of developing and manufacturing maritime SatCom products based on stabilized antennas for the Inmarsat System and also from the development and engineering of other VSAT products.
Magnus Vold, Managing Director of Jotron AS, added, "The Jotron Group sees this as a strategic investment and as part of making Jotron a more complete supplier of maritime communication products and systems. The new product group will be closely linked with the existing product groups serving the maritime market."
Today's modern vessels require affordable, continuous broadband access with a defined performance. In the future this will apply for types of ships as affordable equipment and services become increasingly available on the market. Affordable broadband access at sea will become the norm, expected by and required for professional users and crews at sea.
Jotron SatCom AS main product will be an innovative and high performance stabilized Ku-band antenna which is a key product for broadband at sea with global coverage. The product will be introduced in the market during the 2nd half of 2010.
The launch of the new product group coincides with the launch of the Jotron Group's new web site, www.jotron.com, containing details of this and other products.

Students with more experience do better--but need the credential less.
The credential of having a lot of Washington, D.C., experience is not "a calling card" among voters any more.
Carter cited his Southern roots as a credential for recognizing—and talking about—racism.
Especially to the extent that this helps drive a lot of additional spending on said credential.
At one point in time, there was a code of conduct: creed and credential.
"Your visitor will present to you the missing half of the enclosed card as credential," he wrote.
The only credential he could produce was the testimony of his whole life.
Underneath was written in characters beautifully symmetrical: "The old maid's credential card."
The unuttered utterance is his credential, to be restored to the Bestower of it.
James Jerome Hill has one credential, at least, to greatness—he was born in a log house.
"that which entitles to credit," 1756, probably a back-formation from credentials. Earlier in English as an adjective, "confirming, corroborating" (late 15c.). As a verb, "provide with credentials," by 1828 (implied in dredentialed).

LOS ANGELES (AP) An attorney for Britney Spears has rejected a plea offer that would have placed her on a year's probation and forced her to pay a $150 fine in her misdemeanor driver's license case.
Attorney J. Michael Flanagan says Spears would consider an offer that reduces the charge to an infraction and requires her to pay a $10 fine. He says if the case does go to trial as scheduled later this month, he will appeal any conviction.
He says the 26-year-old singer is being unfairly targeted because she is a celebrity and doesn't deserve a blemish on her criminal record.
The charge is the last remnants of a criminal case that city prosecutors lodged against Spears after she hit a parked car in August 2007 and left without notifying the owner.

I know very little about quilting using a frame & machine. My friend would like to know if it is possible to use a queen size frame to quilt a king size quilt. If so any tips.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I know very little about quilting using a frame & machine. My friend would like to know if it is possible to use a queen size frame to quilt a king size quilt. If so any tips.
Stretching it on the frame would seem to be the problem to me. It would be difficult from my experience. We will see what the others say.
You might measure the quilt top and compare it to the measurments of the frame. i have found that Full, Queen and King can be construed by some as the same size!
I'm fairly new to machine frame quilting, but I would say no. The quilt has to be able to fit along the length of the rails. That being said, you should measure the width of your king and the width of the queen frame rails, remembering that you need a couple of extra inches on each side for backing and batting to allow for the quilting "taking up " some of the pieced top. (make sense?) Also, you would have to be careful how much room you have in the harp of your machine. A king quilt is very large and when you roll the take-up rail, the area that your machine has to sew gets smaller and smaller. Also, I turn my quilts to do the borders. If your king is rectangular, you probably wouldn't be able to get it lengthwise onto the rail for sure. Sorry. Maybe a more experienced machine quilter will have better news than I do.
Where are you on Vancouver Island? I moved to Revelstoke 30 years ago from Nanaimo and still want to go back! But I have a husband who loves the mountains.
Pets are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole. (Roger Caras made this quote about dogs, but I love cats too!)
You may concider making a queen sized quilt with extra fabric and batting around the entire edge, then do a wide border and attach it like you would a 'quilt as you go' method. The biggest quilt I have done on my queen frame, is appx 96" X 108", and with that, I had to turn the quilt to quilt the borders. There was not enough room at the edge to work the machine. - With this quilt, I quilted the middle and when I turned it to do the sides, I just layed it on top of the frame and let the weight of the quilt hold it tight. I did have to shift it side to side, and the length was much wider than the frame.
Quilt maniac is absolutely correct. But you could do like Debby T suggested. Good luck and be sure to post your final project along with pictures. Happy New Year to you.

Knightley Has The Best Time
Keira drama finally gets going
If Keira Knightley has a problem with the script of her new film, at least she'll have the writer's phone number.
Because drama The Best Time Of Our Lives is finally getting the greenlight after four years in limbo. And it's written by Sharman Macdonald, also known as Keira's mum
It's based on the true story of the relationship between Dylan Thomas, his wife Caitlin, childhood friend Vera Phillips and Phillips' future husband, William Killick. Knightley will play Vera.
And she knows the director, too – John Maybury previously worked with her on psychodrama The Jacket. He'll crank the cameras in April.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Highland's Goldyn boutique has carved out an unusual niche since it opened a few years back, bringing up-and-coming and established designers to Colorado through its high-profile trunk shows. But what really sets the couture hub apart from the commercial pack is its thought-out collaborations with local artists. Photographer Kristen Hatgi-Sink has designed store windows for the shop, which has also exhibited her work. Goldyn also hosts regular shindigs where guests can peruse the latest in global fashion from Helmut Lang, Cartel Noir and Lizzie Fortunato while enjoying live music, expertly mixed cocktails and the occasional palm reading and manicure. Light-years ahead of the retail game in Colorado, Goldyn is more than just a store; it's a platform for art of all mediums.
A one-stop shop for all-organic personal care, Vert Beauty knows that a happy customer is a conscious one. Opened just a few months ago, the Highland shop has already cornered the market on a long-awaited necessity: all-organic, cruelty-free, responsibly sourced bath and beauty products for men, women and children. From fragrances for the home and body to moisturizers, sunscreens, skin tonics and the latest in makeup trends, Vert carries the same products as a department store, but all from ecologically responsible sources. The staff has decades of combined experience in the cosmetic industry, plus a wealth of knowledge on the latest in sustainable beauty trends, and they're happy to walk customers through new beauty routines. Vert also offers on- and off-site makeovers, makeup tutorials and wedding and special-event consultations.
How best to keep tabs on the inevitable road closures and accidents in winter? You could wade through ads on commercial radio in hopes of catching a traffic update. Or you could whip out your phone and check the Colorado Department of Transportation's Twitter account, where the agency posts regular updates on interstate and surface road closures throughout the business day. @ColoradoDOT is short and to the point, with the latest information on closures and delays caused by various acts of nature (and out-of-state ski-trippers) crammed into 140 characters or less. The best part: Unlike radio, Twitter works in both directions, so the department's social-media managers can (and do) answer questions directed at them. Just make sure to pull over before whipping out your phone: You don't want to be the subject of the next tweet.
In the age of so-called affordable care, we like the idea of checking with a nurse about what the doctor is or isn't telling us. Centura offers one of several nurse hotlines in the area. Unlike Denver Health's round-the-clock operation, the Speak to a Nurse Hotline is available just twelve hours a day, but if you're calling during business hours, you can generally count on the friendly, accessible manner of the knowledgeable staff, who boast an average of 22 years of experience.
Early this year, Denver County Court opened a Civil Self Help Center in the City and County Building, staffed by a bilingual attorney, to assist the beleaguered in navigating the forms and processes for self-representation in small-claims matters, protection orders, evictions and more (but no legal advice allowed). Add to that the self-help centers for probate, domestic relations and juvenile cases, and the do-it-yourself litigant has a good chance of asserting the right to a fair hearing.
You say "po-tay-to," I say "po-tah-to": Do you ever get into this type of spat with your search engine? Now, thanks to the Denver Public Library, there are live librarians at your fingertips, via the library's ASK US! 24-hour chat service. All you need is your computer and questions that need answering, and they'll expertly guide you through the process of finding the answers. More than just a standard homework-helper line, ASK US! is a also gateway to databases not available on the web, shared with one-on-one instruction, any time of day or — you know who are — the middle of the night. Sometimes the human touch really does make Internet research easier.

Leadership Matters More Than Structure in Chch Rebuild
Leadership Matters More Than Structure in Chch Rebuild
The people to lead Canterbury's rebuilding matter more than the structure, Wigram MP Jim Anderton says.
He is supporting the government's CERA legislation because Canterbury needs quality consultation and quick decisions.
"For some reason there is a view that public participation is in conflict with rapid decision-making. In fact they are both essential to each other. You cannot rebuild quickly if you don't take all the people along with you, because people who are left out will challenge the process, they will feel disillusionment and ultimately the process will fail."
Jim Anderton says the challenge for Christchurch is to shift our perspective from 'recovering what we once were' to 'building what we seek to become.'
"This ability to re-imagine Christchurch requires leadership - leadership capable of engaging with all the city's people. The success of what we have to do will depend on that leadership much more than the structure we have. I am not as concerned with the structure and design of the CERA as I am with having the right people to lead it.
"We need leaders who have the confidence of people and are able to communicate with them and get things done. The ability to engage the community and get things moving was the big disappointment after the first quake. It simply didn't happen well enough, and not enough was done soon enough.
"So I understand why the Government has taken control, and I don't blame them. It's a recognition that a lot of taxpayer money is at stake, and also that things need to be handled better than they were after the first quake.
"What we need to see now, in this legislation, is a commitment to listening and making the community part of the rebuilding.
"People need to feel their views are taken into account and that the kind of Christchurch they want is being created. Because otherwise, if they feel it's not the Christchurch they were born into, or came to, or want to experience again, they will feel no commitment to it," Jim Anderton says.

For security reasons we don't allow these apps to be backed up using the MDM software. So that said user's iPad is messed up and I can reset the passcode as there is no data connection. I wipe the iPad and start over. Now that VPP code is used and I can't re-use it. That doesn't seem right does it? Am I missing something?

Laura Choi Stuart
Hailed as "a lyric soprano of ravishing quality" by the Boston Globe, soprano Laura Choi Stuart is one of opera's rising American talents. In the summer of 2006, Laura will be a member of the Apprentice Program for Singers with The Santa Fe Opera, understudying the role of Micaela in Carmen. Other engagements this year include a debut with Intermezzo Chamber Opera as Miriam in Hoiby's The Scarf and outreach performances with Lake George Opera's Opera To Go program. The 2005 recipient of Boston Lyric Opera's Stephen Shrestinian Award for Excellence, Laura also made her professional debut with that company in 2004 as Elvira in L'Italiana in Algeri. She returned to the B.L.O. stage as The Rose in the East Coast Premiere of Rachel Portman's The Little Prince, and toured the Northeast as Pamina in Opera New England's The Magic Flute. Laura made her debut with Opera Boston in 2005 in the role of Anna Gomez in Menotti's The Consul. She has also been a regular performer with the Berkshire Opera Company under the direction of Mo. Kathleen Kelly. She was a member of the Resident Artist Program at B.O.C. twice, performing the roles of Carolina in Cimarosa's The Secret Marriage and Laetitia in The Old Maid and the Thief, and in 2005 made her mainstage debut with Berkshire Opera in the role of Gianetta in L'Elisir d'Amore. A 2004 graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where she received the Joan and Henry Wheeler Presidential Scholarship, Laura was active in both opera and concert, performing the roles of Pamina, Calisto, and Gretel, collaborating on multiple occasions with the N.E.C. Contemporary Ensemble, and singing Berlioz's Les Nuits d'Eté in 2003 as winner of the Vocal Concerto Competition. Laura's interest in opera began during her undergraduate work at Dartmouth College when she was invited to participate as a Studio Artist in Opera North's summer apprenticeship. She has also performed extensively on outreach tours throughout New England with both Opera North and Opera New England. Laura grew up in Carlisle, Pennsylvania after spending early childhood in Germany and Italy.

The revealing Portrait of Ms. Ruby May, Standing lasted all of three days in London's Mall Galleries before it was taken down for being "too pornographic and disgusting."
This article first appeared on Vocativ.
When artist Leena McCall got the phone call she was "pretty pissed off." On the other end of the line was a representative from the Society of Women Artists who had rung to inform her that her painting had just been pulled from their group show at London's Mall Galleries for being "too pornographic and disgusting."
The work in question, Portrait of Ms. Ruby May, Standing, is an oil painting of the artist's friend. In it, May, dressed in a fur-trimmed vest and pants, unbuttoned to reveal a strip of pubic hair, smokes a pipe while looking directly at the viewer.
The gallery, run by the Federation of British Artists, claims to have received complaints about the painting and "as an educational arts charity, the Federation has a responsibility to its Trustees and to the children and vulnerable adults who use its Galleries and Learning Centre." They didn't offer an explicit explanation as to why McCall's portrait was deemed pornographic, but the pubic hair seems to be a sticking point. The fact that it was replaced by another female nude leads McCall to believe that there's even more behind the censoring of her work.
"I genuinely think it's because Ruby meets your gaze. She's not a shy, timid woman; it's not pornography in the sense of 'Here I am, come and get me!' It's very much an equal gaze and that was the whole purpose of the painting," she tells Vocativ. "We had a lot of different poses and tried a lot of different things and what I liked about this one is that she's your equal, she's there."
(Pictured above: Artist Leena McCall)
McCall was invited to submit another piece but declined the offer ("I do have some still lifes with one or two sex toys in them," she jokes). She says doing so would be tantamount to agreeing that the original painting was indecent. Instead, she's launched a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #eroticcensorship, and is encouraging people to discuss the work and the ensuing controversy.
"The whole point of the piece is what Ruby May has to say about her sexuality. I'm trying to get people talking about it," she says. "So by removing that artwork you're effectively removing the opportunity for people to look at it and discuss it. But with a Twitter hashtag campaign, I thought at least we can try and discuss the topic in a different forum."
People have rallied behind McCall on Twitter, using the hashtag #eroticcensorship
@mallgalleries Female nudity's fine as long as it doesn't involve pubes or tattoos? Are you offended or just grossed out? #eroticcensorship — Cathy Davies (@THECathyDavies)
July 7, 2014
@mallgalleries The painting isn't scary because of the flesh; it's scary because she's empowered. #eroticcensorship is sexism. — Claire Goodwin (@clairey165)
July 7, 2014
Warmed by the generous response from strangers who are rallying behind her work and condemning the actions of Mall Galleries, McCall is planning an open studio event so people can view the portrait and engage in discussion. She also has tentative plans to launch her own group show, which will include artists whose work explores female sexuality and eroticism.
"I'm actually really rather happy that this has happened because it's proved to me, in terms of the artwork and the topics I'm trying to address through it, that there is a debate to be had," she says. "It obviously does trigger responses from people. And I'm really interested to see where that debate goes."

Victoria Azarenka has made it to her first grand slam final by defeating the reigning Australian Open champion Kim Clisters.
Azarenka won 6-4 1-6 6-3 and will now play for the $2.3 million prize on offer for the winner of the women's singles.
Her previous best effort was the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2011.
Clijsters had a disjointed match, in what will be her last appearance in the Australian Open.
After losing the first set, she upped the tempo and won the second set comfortably.
Azarenka stormed back to take a 4-1 lead in the deciding set. But when Clijsters held her serve and then broke Azarenka, there was a chance Clijsters might steal the match away from the Belarusian.
However Azarenka then broke Clijsters and served out the match to seal a spot in the final.

Ferndale High wrestler heading to state final
By Christian Davis
Posted February 26, 2014
FERNDALE — It's not Ferndale High senior Wayne Williams' only move on the mat, but when the wrestler locks his opponent in a cradle, he believes the match is all but over.
"The cradle is my signature move. I feel in complete control," he said during a brief break in practice at Southfield High Feb. 21. "If I try it and it doesn't work, I'll go for something else, but nine times out of 10, it works. It feels like the match is over, and I'm just looking for the ref."
Williams will rely on his move and others in his arsenal at the Division 2 individual state final Feb. 27 at The Palace of Auburn Hills. He qualified at 171 pounds and is 24-9 on the year.
Coach John Bassier said Williams' style tends to be unorthodox, which works to his advantage and disadvantage at times.
"I joke with the other coaches, we're not going to change him right now — we don't have time," Bassier said. "I just keep reminding him that he has to do what he does best."
This year is Williams' first on the varsity level. He wrestled on JV for Southfield as a sophomore before transferring to Ferndale. Last season, he didn't wrestle.
Vernon Burden was his coach at Southfield and isn't surprised to see him as one of the best grapplers in the state.
"You knew he had something different," Burden said of watching Williams as a sophomore. "You see those natural hips and his throwing ability."
Though Bassier is "pleasantly surprised" Williams could make it with just one varsity year under his belt, he said his grappler isn't satisfied with just being there.
"Some kids are excited going to the state finals, and that's where it ends, but he wants to be All-State. If things go his way and he catches people, he could be our next All-Stater," the coach said. "I really don't rule Wayne out in any situation."
Williams credited Bassier, assistant coach Mike Crossley and his dad, Wayne Williams Sr., for helping him get to where he is now.
"They're like my backbone," he said. "Whenever I was feeling low, they were always there to pick me up."
Williams added that he's going to give his best shot to get on the podium.
"I look at the regular season as one big practice. You go to practice, work on a move and then try it in a match," Williams said. "When it gets to states, it's time to do it. No dress rehearsals."

DARPA Urban Challenge
(1/3) > >>
The largest race in robotics history, with up to US$11,000,000 in cash prizes, is just 49 weeks away.
Participation is open to all ( You have missed the registration deadline but can participate by joining my team ).
This is a rally style race through 60 miles of heavy urban traffic. Vehicle with the shortest time, without being disqualified wins the prize. These are full size vehicles in traffic with other full size vehicles.
The rules are about an inch thick and basically specify that the robot vehicle has to be able to pass a California State Drivers License Exam to qualify to be allowed on the course.
This is my fifth year working with this race. My team is made up entirely of volunteers and is supported by donations.
There is a great deal that you can learn about robotics by being on my team as we push the frontier of Robotics knowledge forward.
If you want to be on my team, I will try to find a place for you whatever your skill level is. It takes many hands and many minds to move a project like this ahead. Some tasks are simple, others more complex, there is something for everyone who wants to help.
Volunteers are needed from now through race day Nov. 3, 2007, a commitment of two hours a week or more is required to qualify for shares of the prize money. While volunteers may quit at any time, they will not be allowed to work for a competing team.
Does it sound like fun? Are you up to the challenge? Contact me as soon as possible.
I'm kinda curious what kind of programing you guys are doing right now?
Most of my experience comes from embedded systems, but I would also
like the opportunity to learn more about what it takes to make a
fully autonomous AI(I've taken our schools intro to AI). Right now
I'm undertaking my own project to make moblie robot based on
a R/C car. I have experience with Real Time Operating Systems
and general Linux programing.

Paul, has DARPA officially re-instated the prize money? I hadn't noticed any announcement on the Urban Challenge site yet.
I can't say much about the programming in a public forum but your background and your current project are directly related to what we are doing in full scale. Do you want to play on our team?
DARPA's boss said there will be a cash prize of up to several million dollars. Originally it was 11 million, then it went away, now it is back but the exact amount has yet to be determined.
Distance is not a problem, we have had 60 people on three continents, spread over 15 time zones working long distance on this project. Also a pit crew team here in Traverse City, MI who do the final assembly and travel with the vehicle. Other team members are welcome to attend exhibitions and races we participate in - if they can afford to.
As you can see on my home page, there is a link to the free hour long documentary if you have a high speed connection. Also if you go to YouTube.com and search for DARPA you will bring up some of the other teams videos. Some of the other teams home pages linked from the DARPA button on my home page have videos of their vehicles in action. Nothing is quite as good as seeing what the competition is doing.
To answer your first question, I can't tell if you are a robot or not. But if you are I hope that you are operating at a fairly hight level and are loaded with information. My conversations with ALICE interfaces to large data banks have been very interesting. The team could use one of those to let the public and reporters ask the vehicle itself, AV WENDY DARLING about the race (DARPA data), about the team (AI MAGIC data) and about the vehicle itself (AV WENDY DARLING data).
> How do you direct/task your programmers? That's my skill set. I'd like to get an idea of how I'd get up to speed and contribute. I'm sure that you've already got a lot of development "under the hood."
11 new programmers have joined the team and I have lumped them together as a Software Sub Group but they are not yet producing. Although they say they have read the rules for the race, which they need to design to, they are talking about inventing all kinds of things that are not required by the race and are fretting over problems that are also not part of the race.
To end this I have asked each of them to pick one of the required behaviors from the inch thick rules / specifications and give me a rough block diagram / flow chart of what inputs the behavior requires, what outputs the behavior requires, and roughly what steps there should be in the f(x) program for that behavior.
So far they are still in shock. Broken down like this the task is very doable but requires actual work. We shall see who among them is capable of putting on the harness and pulling toward the goal.
Perhaps with your background you could suggest how to do it better or would like to be part of the team and make it happen?
If anyone out there would like to audition for the team, you can do so by picking a piece of the driverless vehicle problem and showing me how you would solve it. An outline, schematic, sketch, or blueprint would be fine.
