Blame the devil
Neutrino Cannon posted a link to a comment dialogue between Clio and Vladimir, on monarchy, with Vladimir taking the reactionary position.
The discussion includes the question: Why did Europe's monarchies fall?
Neither participant gives any attention to a theory I quite like, which is that the devil did it.
When there was only one religion, loyalty to the monarch was an moral absolute.
After the reformation, religious loyalty took a higher place than any other.
Edward, Mary, Elizabeth and James managed to navigate the new waters, though not without difficulty or incident. Charles ran aground, and while the Commonwealth failed and was rejected, enough of the theory it established survived to poison history ever since.
In France, anti-clericalism became a more important force than protestantism, but undermined monarchy also. That's secondary though: I think it's easy to underestimate the influence of the English revolutions of 1688 and 1776 on the French. It's true that England never got on with the revolutionary French regime, but isn't that often the way of things when a democracy thoughtlessly stirs up revolution in other countries? Writers in England and America were writing retrospective justifications for their seizures of power, and those were used by the Jacobins and later the 19th century European revolutionaries. Most of Europe was still monarchical until WWI, and Woodrow Wilson wiped the rest out in 1919.
There really was a total change in the dominant political ideology of Christendom, from Divine Providence to Nationalism and the Rights of Man. I personally don't actually believe "the Devil did it", but if I had to pick one point to represent Satanic interference in history, that would be it. Marx and Hitler were just products of history, aftershocks of that cataclysm.
As the power of religion to justify kingship waned, there were attempts to put monarchical centralism on a firmer theoretical footing than Divine Providence. Perhaps Hobbes is the first Neoreactionary. But the Whigs won out.
Update: don't miss Devin Finbarr's contribution: the unexpected richness of North America gave defeated radicals a springboard to return with power

Those reactionaries who were there, in particular, Carlyle, tell us the answer:
The kings who fell were false kings.
Charles defended the monarchy with pen and sword, and so his fall was a mere temporary setback, resulting in the restoration.
Louis the fourteenth and Czar Nicholas were democrats. who themselves undermined monarchy, and so their fall was fatal and permanent.

I've not heard Louis XIV accused of being a democrat before: is that in Carlyle? A hundred years later, yes, popular sovereignty was the dominant ideology by then, and the monarchs themselves abased themselves before it.

Katy Perry and I Had Similar Childhoods
Katy Perry is featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (above) where she opens up about her religious upbringing that she's apparently only slightly abandoned to pursue a more lucrative career shooting whipped cream out of her tits. I say slightly abandoned because she seems to see nothing wrong with her parents literally babbling at each other and pretending it's divine communication. Via CNN:
The California girl, who has "Jesus" tattooed on her left wrist, tells the magazine, "Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as 'Pass the salt..' It's a secret, direct prayer language to God." Perry, 25, adds that her dad usually speaks in tongues while her mom plays interpreter. "That's their gift," she explains.
"I wasn't able to say I was lucky because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn't like that lucky sounded like Lucifer."
In fact, the quirky brunette reveals, "I wasn't allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. I think my mom lied to me about that one."
WARNING: If you're looking for witty comments peppered with penis jokes and/or are easily offended when someone points out Jesus is a fictional character, now would be a good time to abandon the post.
For those of you who don't know, I grew up in an evangelical household – my father's a pastor – so allow me to explain how "speaking in tongues" works in case you've only ever lived in a world of logic and reason: It's bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. Basically, in the heat of spiritual frenzy, you start babbling incoherent gibberish because somewhere in the Bible it says that bystanders heard Jesus' disciples praying in "foreign tongues." Except what you see in churches across America is people pretending to be on a direct wavelength with God and given an opportunity to demonstrate that fact so everyone can see how super-Christian they are. Again, bullshit. Even more bullshitty is Katy Perry's mom claiming she can interpret it. It's babble. Literal babble. That's like saying you can communicate fluently with infants in their own language. "Baby Jimmy thinks this episode of Sesame Street is as loquacious as it is pedantic. Also, poop."
I literally feel for Katy Perry. When I was 25, I also had a sense of the real world but wasn't quite able to accept my parents' belief as the intellectually bankrupt, man-made constructs they are without compromising my love and respect for them. Except I at least had the luxury of attending a secular high school and college instead of Christian "schools," so I understand the indoctrination runs way deeper here. Though apparently not deep enough to ward off premarital British cock. So maybe there's hope here yet.

PHILADELPHIA – The six-match winning streak came to a halt for the University of Pennsylvania volleyball team, as the Quakers fell to Brown in a five-setter (25-23, 25-17, 16-25, 22-25, 13-15). The loss drops the Red and Blue to 14-10 overall, 8-5 Ivy. Currently, Penn is in a three way tie for second place with Harvard and Brown, with one more match remaining this season.
Senior captain Susan Stuecheli started the first set off with a kill, which was followed by another one from junior Kendall Turner, giving the Red and Blue the lead, 2-0. A few serves later, Turner paired up with sophomore Alexis Genske for the block to keep the Quakers within one, 4-5. Penn went on a roll as Genske notched a service ace, Turner knocked down another kill, and senior captain Kristen Etterbeek added a second kill. Brown kept the match tight and had a 23-22 advantage. The Red and Blue answered back with three consecutive points – a kill from sophomore Jasmine DeSilva, a kill from Genske, and a service ace by senior captain Dani Shepherd – to take the first set, 25-23.
In the second set, the Quakers found themselves down by one early and once again responded with four unanswered kills -- one each from sophomore Alex Caldwell and DeSilva followed by two from Etterbeek -- to lead, 7-4. After a service error by the home team, the Red and Blue picked right back up where they started and took another three points in a row, to go up 10-5. Penn committed another error but followed it with five more points. The Quakers quickly jumped out to a 15-6 lead, with big points at 14 and 15 -- a block from DeSilva and Turner then a kill blasted by DeSilva -- causing the Bears to call time and regroup. However, the deficit was too big of a hole to climb out of and Genske finished the set with a kill, 25-17.
With a ten-minute break, it seemed as if it was going to be another 3-0 win for the Red and Blue. That thought quickly dissolved after the teams that returned to the court.
The Quaker defense struggled, as Brown jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the third set and continued the attack, taking set three, 25-16. The fourth set started the same with the Bears leading, 5-0. Penn slowly closed the gap but came up three points short, 25-22. The familiar five-set scenario ensued, but the tables were turned as Brown remained in control, snapping the Red and Blue's six-match win streak.
Four Quakers finished with a double-double –Etterbeek (16 kills, 11 digs), Genske (14 kills, 15 digs), Caldwell (22 assists, 17 digs), and sophomore Ronnie Bither (25 assists, 14 digs). Also dishing out double-digits were DeSilva (10 kills) and Shepherd (27 digs). The team also put up double-digits in blocks (12), with Turner contributing seven block assists.
Penn will prepare and honor its three seniors in the final match against Yale tomorrow, with hopes of finishing the season on a high note.

anyone here has idea for non-root user, this problem is fixed for root user, when I try non-root user, it still appears.
After restarting, I got the same error, so I ran this command:
Before I post it, I rebooted again, and now really works !!!rm -rf /root/.kde
cp /etc/skel/.kde /root/
Thanks for the fix
"Never do anything against conscience -- even if the state demands it."
-- Albert Einstein
It seems that they released bt5 kde version with some kind of problem like this. I also got error in startx so rather than kde, i used gnome instead. Works great.
So do i, in my HP Dv5-1240br.
On the other hand you can obviously use GNOME in the first place, but you wouldnt be reading this if you didnt like using KDE:P

i tried the solutions above ... not work

Premier League: Matt Jarvis hoping West Ham form keeps World Cup dream alive
Matt Jarvis hopes his domestic form at West Ham will put him in contention for a place in England's World Cup squad.
Last Updated: 26/10/13 1:48pm
The tricky winger has been capped on one previous occasion by his country, during his time at Wolves.
He has seen others edge ahead of him in the creative pecking order since then, with Tottenham Hotspur's Andros Townsend the latest to shine on the international stage.
Jarvis is refusing to throw in the towel, though, and believes eye-catching outings for the Hammers will help to put him in Roy Hodgson's plans for Brazil 2014.
The 27-year-old told The Sun: "I want to play as well if not better than last season - score more goals and add assists.
"And if I can do that, I'll try to get in the England squad. Of course Andros has given me hope. You can always use that belief that he's done it, so why can't I?"
Jarvis also believes that Upton Park team-mate Ravel Morrison will come under consideration next summer following a hugely impressive start to the season for the Hammers and the England U21s.
He added: "I don't see any reason why Ravel can't make that England squad. He is a fantastic talent.
"He's had a fantastic start to the season and if he can keep playing well week in, week out he can go very far.
"I joined last season and he was out on loan so I've only really seen him this season. But from what I have seen, he's been as good as gold."

The Look: Olivia Palermo
"These are my different looks for the MTV Movie Awards. I actually have three different stylists and they each have a different flair to them," says Ora. "When I'm in the U.S., I work with Jason Rembert. He knows how to get the extravagant dresses, but he also brings out amazing pieces from designers like Chanel."
"[When people are doing your make-up], you just sit and think. First it's, What am I going to wear? Do I look good? Blah, blah, blah. And then it's, Is my voice okay? If I'm going to perform, Do I have my throat coat tea? How am I going to sing this? How can I make this performance different from last time?"

Gary Kirsten has ruled himself out of the England team director's job for family reasons.
The South African had been identified by many pundits as the ideal man to succeed Andy Flower, with the England and Wales Cricket Board now looking for someone to lead the team across all three formats.
However, the 46-year-old insists his personal situation means the England job is not one he can consider right now.
"I would regard any job like that as a privilege," he told Sky Sports News.
"But I gave up the Proteas job for family reasons - I want to spend more time with a young family and that certainly hasn't changed. I love cricket coaching, I love being with an international team. But unfortunately the demands of it don't suit where I want to be.
"It would have been a great challenge, it's a high-profile sport. Whenever I've toured England I've always been amazed by the following. It's a pressurised sport and I think Andy Flower over many years did an exceptional job."
Flower stepped down as team director last week following England's humiliating Ashes whitewash Down Under.
Limited-overs coach Ashley Giles is another of the front-runners to take on the job, and Kirsten's decision to rule himself out would appear to strengthen his candidacy. But he fared little better in Australia than Flower as the team slipped to 4-1 and 3-0 defeats in the one-day and Twenty20 series which followed the Ashes.
Kirsten admitted he was not sure whether his methods, which he concedes differed from Flower's, would have been a success with the England team.
Kirsten added: "I had many chats with Andy and I enjoyed his way.
"I have often wondered whether I could go in with my coaching philosophies and thinking that it could work within that environment. I would have enjoyed the challenge, like I would any challenge that I take on.
"I'm taking on the IPL team the Delhi Daredevils - thank goodness it's a shorter period of time - but I'm looking forward to that challenge and the one thing I'm really looking forward to is working with some Englishmen, some Australians, some West Indians maybe, some South Africans and Indians."
One of those Englishmen could yet be Kevin Pietersen, who enters the Indian Premier League auction as a free agent next week and is sure to be one of the most highly-prized players involved.
His international career almost certainly looks to be over, after he was left out of the squads for the limited-overs tour of the Caribbean and the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh announced this week.
National selector James Whitaker gave little away about the reasons for excluding Pietersen from future squads when pressed on the decision on Thursday.
''That is a legal position and at the moment I'm not at liberty to say,'' he told Sky Sports News, giving credence to reports of a confidentiality agreement between Pietersen and the ECB.
Whitaker said it had been a "tricky decision" but that it was now time to "rewrite those values" which unite the team.
He added: "The one-day international team and the England Twenty20 team has played a number of matches over the last 12 months or so without Kevin and, on occasion, performed very well, and I would hope that's the case going forward.''
Uncapped duo Moeen Ali and Stephen Parry were included in both the squads announced on Thursday, while Harry Gurney will go on the West Indies tour.
Kirsten would not be drawn on the ECB's decision to omit Pietersen, but South Africa bowling coach Allan Donald struggled to see the logic of it.
He told Sky Sports: "I'd rather have a Kevin Pietersen in my side every day. I still believe that there are some players out there - quality, great, great players - that are a little bit abrasive and will always go upstream.
"But they're the guys who somehow make the game very special. I must say it'll be very sad to not see him playing for England because he has got loads to offer, especially at the 2015 World Cup."

THE Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service is urging members of the public to take care over this long weekend as there are several strikes planned as part of industrial action.
The strikes took effect from yesterday (Friday, May 2) but are also happening today Saturday, May 3 from 2pm to 2am, and tomorrow Sunday, May 4 from 10am to 3pm.
During the strike the service will be operating a reduced service, and people are encouraged to plan an escape route in case of emergencies, and ensure that everyone in their household is aware of it.
Adrian Elliott, group commander of HWFRS, said: "We are encouraging motorists and residents to take extra care during the strikes when there will be reduced fire cover.
"Not all of our firefighters are members of the Fire Brigades Union which means some stations will be working normally but people should be aware that it may take us a little longer to respond to calls in some instances.
"During the firefighter strikes, we want people to be clear about what to do in the event of a fire. The most important point they need to know is that they will still get an emergency response and they should not be tempted to tackle fires themselves.
"General fire safety messages that we promote throughout the year become even more crucial at times of strike action. An early alert to a fire in your home is just as important for avoiding injury and damage to property, and we would also like to remind people to install a smoke alarm on every floor of their home and to test each alarm is working on a weekly basis."

If you want to propose a link to be included in the next tidbit post, simply post it in a comment under this one.
While there's still no major news, and as we wait for the new Fallout: New Vegas patch, here's another roundup of minor Fallout-related tidbits. If you have more, please post them here in the comments.
CVG lists "10 things you must try in Fallout New Vegas".
WASTELANDS GONE WILD! Acquire the 'Wild Wasteland' perk and your New Vegas experience gets trippier. 30 hours in and we've giggled at a dead Indiana Jones stuffed inside a fridge a la Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, listened to some panicking schmoe quote Bill 'Hudson' Paxton's immortal "They're coming outta the walls!" line from Aliens and encountered/defused 'The One' - a dud nuke still lying dormant in the Mojave..."
Fallout: New Vegas keeps coming up in various top lists. It's #10 in UK sales charts and #8 in the recent Xbox Live activity chart. Surprisingly, Fallout 3 is #6 in the Games for Windows Live chart.
New York Times recommends New Vegas as a Christmas gift:
FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS: The only game on this list that is clearly inappropriate for small children, New Vegas deserves to be here because it will appeal to a certain sort of lapsed gamer: a guy in his 30s or 40s who liked computer games back in the day but doesn't get to play much anymore now that he has kids and a serious job. New Vegas sets you loose in a postapocalyptic Western wasteland, where you decide how good or evil you want to be. For teenagers New Vegas certainly contains more depth of narrative and character than the big-name shooters (though a lot fewer explosions)."
As does the Washington Post:
3 'Fallout: New Vegas'Last year, "Fallout" players explored a radioactive and bombed-out version of Washington; this year's release tells a tale set in the Las Vegas area. There are nearly endless ways to unravel the stories offered in this gloomy world, which is filled with violent gangs and irradiated ghouls. Fun fact: A Rockville-based game company publishes this title. (Rated M; Xbox 360, PS3)"
Fallout Corner reports that apparently all copies of Fallout: New Vegas have sold out in Poland.
Actor Wil Wheaton tweets in response to a player feeling bad about killing Robobrains (voiced by Wheaton):
Hey, it's the apocalypse; I kill Robobrain/me every chance I get. In his defense, though, he usually apologizes."
A mod was released at New Vegas Nexus that addresses a complaint from many players. New Vegas producer Tess Treadwell comments on it:
Oh good, I wasn't the only one"— Tess Treadwell, Twitter
J.R. Vosovic (designer of Fallout: New Vegas) has left Obsidian for a new job.
And finally, here's a music video based on a New Vegas dancing mod:

Section 301 Report Shows Changes To Two Drug Patent Issues
May 07, 2010
Inside U.S. Trade
The 2010 Special 301 Report on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) released late last week by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative shows little change from last year's citations of countries with weak IPR regimes, but differs in its treatment of drug patent policies in a way that non-governmental organizations say appears to reflect a new U.S. trade policy regarding access to medicines...
... The report issued on April 30 cites fewer countries for having no data exclusivity measures that protect test data generated by brand-name pharmaceutical companies for period of time before they can be used to gain marketing approval for generic versions of these drugs.
Furthermore, this year's report limits criticism of countries that have no patent linkage system to nations that have already signed free trade agreements with the U.S. requiring such an arrangement. A patent linkage system requires that a country's officials issuing marketing approvals for generic drugs cannot do so before determining that it does not violate a patent.
Sean Flynn, associate director of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at American University, noted that 29 countries were cited for not having data exclusivity measures in last year's report while 15 countries were cited in the 2010 report.
Those changes likely came as a result of the administration meeting both publicly and privately with civil society groups including a closed door session with NGOs on Special 301, according to Flynn...

Comments about Prefinished 48" Tobacco Road Tread:
We originally thought about using the flooring to make the stairs, but opted to spend the extra bucks and get the treads and risers. Great decision on our part. Not only do they look great, the installation went faster and I am certain these will last a long time.
Best Uses
Comments about Prefinished 48" Tobacco Road Tread:
We selected this product to replace the flooring in our TV room. Our dogs scratched the finish on the previous floors.
This is a product that is easy to install and looks great. The only suggestion is we purchased about 7 boxes of flooring. The boards in the boxes come in different lengths. The middle boxes had more shorter to medium lenght pieces. My recommendation is to open all boxes before you start and stack the pieces according to size. Don't assume each box has the same length boards.
We also opened the boxes for about three days before installation. This is an important step even when everyone is anxious to get started.
Our home is 100 years old and the rooms were not square. There are several videos on YouTube that show how to best deal with these issues.
In summary, the quality of the boards are great and the look is exactly what we were looking for. There were no pieces we had to discard due to production poblems. My recommendation is do the preparation, take your time and don't take short cuts. It takes longer to do the installation than you think, but the end product is worth it.

Q:is this specific tread hand scraped or smooth
1 answer
A:All our stair treads are planed and sanded smooth.
Q:I have about 3 or 4 steps in the staircase that allow for a 90 degree turn. Thus these steps are deeper than 11.5". How do I get these "corner" steps to match the other steps?
1 answer
A:Use a filler piece from scrap or new stock cut to fit. Fasten with a 100% urethane adhesive and pre drill and face nail. Fill holes with a matching filler.
Q:what does it mean by "Treads are to be installed on top of the step" in the product description.
1 answer
A:These treads are designed to replace not go over existing steps.
Q:I need the tread length to be 35.5 inches not 48". Do you have the shorter length? (Tobacco Rd Acacia tred)
1 answer
A:Please call our Sales Dept. @ (800) 476-0007 for pricing and availability for this special order product. Thank you for your inquiry.

1 answer
A:This stair tread is made from common walnut and is designed to match our Tobacco road flooring.

Back in college before I had a grill big enough and got into injectors I made a buffalo turkey in the oven. Simply made the turkey in te usual style, stuffing included, but instead of adding watter to create a grave I added my wing sauce. As the turkey cooked and thinned the mixture I'd siphon off the watered down juices and add more wing sauce via basting. It came out a beautiful orange and tasted great.
This thread reminded me of that crazy idea and great results. I need to revisit the buffalo turkey soon!

Guess who overpacked for MAGIC? I told my hubby it was a good thing I wasn't flying because I would have been paying for that extra weight. LOL! Have you ever done that? Overpacked, but hated almost everything in your suitcase? That was definitely me.
So, what does any girl do when they don't like their clothes? Go shopping of course. I stopped by the outlets on my way to Las Vegas and bought this beautiful asymmetrical BCBG Max Azria sweater. Thanks for convincing me Ivory! LOL! She's always right. I wore it on the first day of MAGIC. Later that night, we decided to dress up a bit to go out. I wore this purple off the shoulder sweater dress, with these BCBG Max Azria ankle boots I snatched up on Ideeli.com. Love that web site! I just might have a thing for BCBG!
On Valentine's Day, I wanted to commemorate the holiday with this heart sweater from Forever 21. I know…I'm corny like that. I was missing my hubby. I wore it with a pair of black Mossimo skinny jeans from Target. They really stretched out by the end of the night. Be careful if you buy them. I'd go a size smaller.
Now it's time for the fun part of traveling…unpacking. Ugh!
Sweater: BCBG Max Azria. Denim: Torrid. Boots: Dollhouse.
Sweater: Forever 21
Dress: purchased at the Curvy Girl Closet Raid. Necklace: Forever 21. Ring: Torrid. Bracelets: Lane Bryant. Leggings: Bali. Ankle Boots: BCBG Max Azria.

But still even after he was chosen so high in the All Stars it amazed me to hear it from RC:

Supported by the Pfizer UK Foundation (an initiative of Pfizer Limited), The Cycling UK led project is targeting health inequalities within the resident South Asian population, focusing on those suffering from diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Participants in the scheme are being challenged to assess their wellbeing, introducing cycling as a means of physical activity alongside recommended alterations to their current lifestyle.
Local health professionals are ensuring appropriate participation, and with an evaluation being conducted by Leeds Metropolitan University, the partnership with Pfizer and Cycling UK aims to establish the impact of cycling as an intervention measure.
Cycling UK project officer Ginny Leonard, who is co-ordinating the project, hopes to see definitive results from the study as to how cycling can assist with the long term symptoms and management of diabetes and coronary heart disease.
By focusing on a community for whom it is well documented that they are at a higher risk of inactivity, we are able to record changes indicating health benefits associated with cycling. We hope to create a widely recognised model to enable health improvements through cycling.
If you would like to be involved in the project or would like more information on cycling in West Yorkshire please contact Ginny Leonard on 07717 663697 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

It already feels like summer is bearing down on us here in Dallas. I don't know how many more nights Mrs. G and I will be able to come home and sit on the patio and have a drink and discuss our day while the dogs play in the yard. Soon its going to be too hot for that. After the rain the previous night and most of yesterday, it was a nice 77ish degrees outside so we took advantage of it....so much so we totally forgot about planning or making dinner. Once we got hungry, it was a quick look through the fridge and pantry to see what we could scrounge up and we decided on some stir fy. No recipe, nothing fancy, just what we had on hand.
The cast of characters
Is this what they mean by wok hay (breath of wok)?
I might have gone overboard with the Sriracha and Chili Garlic, but we wouldn't know that till later.
Finished up
And plated on some rice with some eggrolls
For a last minute cook, it wasn't half bad. A bit on the spicy side, but still better (and cheaper) than if we would have ordered in.

GSM Spy Protector Box
Item: 218-GSM-PROTB
Modern communications give varied possibilities of information exchange. At the same time these devices can become a dangerous tool for picking up information illegally. A reprogramming of your mobile phone, substitution of it, or being given a modified telephone will give other people access to the data in your cell phone or the ability to listen to all conversations around you from anywhere in the world. Such illegal actions can be accomplished without any signs on the display being shown or sound signals being heard.
The GSM Spy Protector Box has been designed to detect and indicate the illegal activation of a mobile phone. In addition to this main functions, the GSM Spy Protector Box also creates interference to the surrounding area of the telephone"s microphone by generating "white noise" when radio-waves are detected; this noise suppresses the microphone in the telephone rendering it useless.

CASEY Dellacqua and Ashleigh Barty insist they have not thought too much about the loot that would come with a second career grand slam title for 28-year-old Dellacqua and a first at senior level for Barty, still just 16.
But, for one, a half-share of $475,000 would ease the financial pressure in Battlersville; for the other, another Richmond footy jumper, perhaps, for a growing collection.
Dellacqua and Barty are the first all-Australian pair to qualify for an Australian Open doubles final since Evonne Goolagong and Helen Gourlay did in a December 1977 final scheduled during the pre-Melbourne Park days at Kooyong that was washed out by rain. In just their third tournament together, the wildcard duo seem to have surprised themselves. Did they expect this?
''I think deep down we did, but we didn't know that. I don't know if that makes sense,'' said Dellacqua, an accomplished doubles veteran whose record includes the French Open mixed doubles crown with American Scott Lipsky in 2011. ''As a player, when you walk out on court you think you can win. There's no point walking out otherwise.
''When I won our first round with Ash, she said 'that was my first win in a grand slam'. Oh, my God, I can't remember what that feels like. It was like, 'oh, my God, that's really exciting to know it's her first grand slam win'.
''The fact we're in the final, yeah, it is incredible. Ash is 16. It's amazing. It's amazing for me. It's such a buzz for me, even at the stage in my career and what I've been through with injuries. Coming back, I've won obviously the French Open mixed. This is such a buzz. We've got one more to go, but so far it's been amazing.''
Their opponents are the top seeds, Italians Roberta Vinci and Sara Errani, who won two of the four doubles majors last year, and eliminated the favoured Williams sisters.
''Yeah, we're definitely the underdogs,'' left-handed Dellacqua said. ''I don't think many people would have thought we'd be in the final. To go out there and think we're going to beat the No. 1 players in the world, it's going to be a big task. But we're up for it. We've had enough matches this week. It's now just about, again, doing what we've done in every match we've done so far, and that's executing the things we do well.
''We know the way Vinci and Errani play doubles. I've played both of them in singles. I think we have a fair idea of what to expect when we go out there … These grand slam finals, they're exciting.''
It is an unexpected bonus for Barty, who impressed in the mixed doubles with Bernard Tomic at the Hopman Cup, and has volleying and tactical instincts way beyond her years; the second-youngest player in the top 200 singles list at No. 174, is No. 145 in doubles. But by reaching the 2011 Brisbane International semi-finals on debut, and winning an ITF title in Japan in November in their only other tournaments together, the likeable duo have gelled as partners like the firm off-court friends they have become.
''Already this week for me has been such an achievement. To be in the final with Casey has been unbelievable. It's already been an amazing week. If we can go one step further, it would be incredible,'' said right-handed Barty.
And the loot? ''You don't really think about it,'' Dellacqua said. ''That's the truth. Honestly, you don't ever really think about it. I know for me being older, it's not easy. I'm not making millions, so anything is great. I invest back into my career in terms of what I need to do. Yeah, it's awesome.''
And for Barty, the 2011 junior Wimbledon champion and high school student from Ipswich whose career earnings stand at around $120,000. More money than she could have dreamed of. ''Yeah, exactly. It will cover a few of the Tigers jerseys that I buy. I have far too many at home. I have no idea. Haven't thought about it. Just go out there and play.''

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - He's called "America's Pastor" and the pastor for a new generation.
Joel Osteen brought his message to Northeast Florida Friday night. Osteen and his wife spoke to thousands of people at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville. People traveled hundreds of miles for the "Night of Hope" event.
"We're going to see Joel Osteen and our wonderful friend Enza has taken us here to find out about the lord," said Ron Couch.
Couch said that Osteen's message helped keep his hope alive after the recent loss of his wife.
Osteen inspires tens of millions of people weekly through his television broadcast. His weekly sermons draw more than 40,000 people.
Osteen told Channel 4 the event would be two and a half hours.
"...I call it celebration," said Osteen. "I'm trying to inspire people to show God is good, that he's on their side. It's a lot of music. My wife and mother are involved. I always tell people if they come, they'll leave better than they came before."

Forums: Index > Help Desk archive > Dwarf with no ego
I am trying to trace the reference to a dwarf or elf (I think it was) who could not use the word 'I' and was reduced to banging his head on the wall in frustration, as a result. If anone could point me to his name and the relevant Harry Potter volume, I'd be most grateful!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by John yeoman (talk • contribs).
- I do not know of any dwarf or elf like this unless you were thinking about Dobby, who banged his head on the wall when he insulted his master as was part of his enslavement. Also, please sign your post with four tildes.

NC Becomes Latest State to Threaten Tesla's Direct Sales to Customers
Brandon Hill
May 14, 2013 11:33 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Bill sponsor received $8,000 in campaign donations from the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association
Living in the
Research Triangle Park
(RTP) area of North Carolina, which I nickname Silicon Valley East, I quite frequently see Tesla Model S sedans and Roadsters silently cruising down city streets and interstates. However, the North Carolina Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a measure that would make it
illegal for Tesla Motors to sell vehicles directly to customers
without the ever-present "middleman" in new car transactions: car dealerships.
Not surprisingly, the NC Automobile Dealers Association (which represents North Carolina's franchised car dealership) is behind this latest stab at Tesla. But according to NC ADA President Robert Glasser, this isn't an attack specifically aimed at Tesla. Glasser notes that the precedent Tesla has set for direct sales could set into motion a chain of events that would topple the entire dealership model of business.
"We care about the franchise system," said Glaser. "The whole point of the retail system is to protect the consumer."
Of course, Tesla Motors sees things quite differently. "They're trying to insulate the dealer franchise model from any competition," said Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's VP of Corporate and Business Development. "It's a protectionist move to lock down the market so we have to go through the middleman – the dealer – to sell our cars."
And here's an interesting tidbit that shines a whole new light on the story.
reports that Sen. Tom Apodaca, the Republican sponsor of the bill, received $8,000 in campaign donations (the maximum allowed by state law) from the NC ADA.
It's pretty clear to see why dealerships are shaking in their boots at the prospect of Tesla (and other auto manufacturers) selling directly to customers. Tesla managed to deliver a whopping
4,750 Model S sedans to customers during the month of April
. Compared to other luxury sedans that also dance in the $70,000 to $100,000+ price range, the Model S outpaced monthly sales of the Audi A8 (1,462 units), BMW 7-Series (2,338), Lexus LS (2,860) and Mercedes S Class (3,077).
Tesla Model S
Tesla has sold 80 Model S sedans in North Carolina and has an additional 60 orders in queue from residents. The overwhelming majority of those sales have come via the internet.
And one could argue that an electric vehicle like the Model S needs less attention from dealerships due to the much lower maintenance needs of the electric motor and battery pack. Quite simply, there is potentially less to go wrong with a Model S compared to BMW 750i with its twin-turbocharged V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission.
Despite this new speed bump in Tesla's road to electric vehicle proliferation, the company has been showered with a wealth of good news in the past week. Last week, Tesla reported its
first profit in its ten years of existence
Consumer Reports
gave the Model S a
near perfect rating
: 99 out of 100 possible points.
stock is up 57 percent
since its quarterly earnings were released last Thursday to just under $90/share.
News Observer
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

Oxygen can be delivered in several ways:
Oxygen can be given through a flexible plastic tube inserted
in the nostrils (nasal cannula) or through a face mask.
Selecting the type of oxygen supply should be based on your
ability to move around. People who seldom leave the house may find an oxygen
concentrator gives the best combination of convenience and cost. More active
people may have an oxygen concentrator at home and use a portable oxygen tank
when they leave the house.
Oxygen is a fire hazard. It is
important to follow safety measures to keep you and your family safe. With all
oxygen delivery systems, do not use oxygen around lit cigarettes or an open
flame, because the risk of fire or explosion is high. If you or those who care
for you smoke, be sure to think very carefully about using oxygen

Fla. man uses 911 to request Kool-Aid, burgers, drugs
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 9:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 9:54 a.m.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A St. Petersburg man is accused of misusing the 911 system to request that he wanted "Kool-Aid, burgers and weed to be delivered to him."
The Tampa Bay Times reports 34-year-old Jarvis Sutton dialed 911 about 80 times on Sunday.
Police say Sutton admitted to making the calls.
The burgers, Kool-Aid and weed were never delivered. But St. Petersburg police say Sutton started chewing on the foam attached to the metal caging in the back of a police cruiser.
Sutton remained in the Pinellas County Jail early Wednesday.

MT. SAN JACINTO – As the tram car jiggles past the first of five spindly towers that appear to defy physics while clinging to towering rock croppings, some inside squeal.
It's not a woo-hoo squeal. It's more like a what-have-we-gotten-ourselves into squeal.
Others hug their children or significant other. A few cling to something more solid. Many giggle nervously. But whatever the reactions, it's easy to pick out the rollercoaster fans.
Thrill seekers whoop.
Soon, the gentle swaying of the car stops and a quiet settles over the 60 or so people that hang from a steel thread, albeit a very thick and very strong steel thread. The passengers soak in something most have never seen before.
The earth drops away with dizzying speed. Massive cliffs zoom by. Cars below turn to tiny dots and disappear all together. Highways become strips, then melt into the desert floor.
For 10 minutes, the humans incased in the steel and glass aquarium-like car finds themselves on a ride that defies gravity, that tests vertigo, which in some ways mimics what it's like to climb a vertical cliff at Spiderman speed.
The trip also reminds of the majesty and might of the natural world.
Consider that the tallest man-made structure on this planet is only a quarter the height of the mountain we're ascending.
By the time we spill onto the deck at the Mountain Station at 8,516 feet, there is nothing but smiles.
And the fun has only begun.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway of today is nothing like the tramway the last time I visited in the 1990s. Gone are the old-style ski gondolas. In their place are modern gleaming cars that the private operators say are the only ones of their kind in the Western Hemisphere.
What's so cool? The floors rotate. That means that no matter where you stand, the view is ever-changing.
The idea of a tram started in 1935 when a young electrical engineer named Francis Crocker broiled in the heat of Palm Springs. He looked up at snow on San Jacinto and dreamed of cooling off. But it took another quarter-century before the tram had the governmental approvals and financial backing to take shape.
Of the five towers, only the lowest is approachable by land vehicle. The remaining four were built in the early 1960s using helicopters. In all, the choppers flew 23,000 missions. And on Sept. 12, 1963 – yes, this year marks the 50th anniversary – Crocker was among the celebrities on the inaugural tram trip.
During the millennium, the old cars were replaced by the cars with rotating floors. Other upgrades included more family trails and today the Mountain Station at the tramway top offers a movie theater, a visitor's center, California cuisine at Peaks Restaurant and casual cafeteria dining at Pines Café. There also is a lounge as well as gift shops.
Yes, the tram offers the great outdoors without having to walk more than a few steps. Still, if you're interested in venturing out, the choices are pretty amazing.
Weather reports at the bottom and online, PSTramway.com, say it all.
I visited in September and again in early October. In September, it was in the 90s on the valley floor. Stepping off the tram, it was a balmy 75 degrees.
There was no wind and the hiking and bouldering were perfect.
Earlier this month, it was in the mid-70s in the parking lot. At the top of the tram, it was in the mid-50s. Still, it felt like the mid-60s. Again, perfect weather.
But I should explain that there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of weather. Consider that on Monday, at Mountain Station the winds were 28 mph with gusts to 75. The low was 36 degrees; the high was 52.
The strange thing is that a surprising number of visitors pay no attention to elevation and favor shorts and T-shirts to a party best attended wearing long pants, jackets, and gloves.
Tip: Plan accordingly and bring more layers than you think you'll need.
Also plan on spending $24 for roundtrip tram tickets, $17 for children. It may seem like a lot, but consider the time and cost of gasoline driving up and down San Jacinto.
My climbing buddy checked out the tram with his wife and reported a great time chowing down on burgers while sipping beer and watching dusk settle over the mountains and valley.
But my friends know the art of relaxation. Armed with old energy bars, I skipped the restaurants to focus on boulder climbing and along the way found a series of trails designed for everyone from novice to expert hiker.
There's a 1.5-mile loop, a 4.2-mile loop and a 12-mile round-trip hike to the summit at 10,834 feet. There's also primitive campsites with $5 permits available at the ranger station (hiking permits are free) or online, parks.ca.gov. During the summer, advance camping permits are recommended.
Coming soon, there also will cross-country skiing. That's right. When it's in the 70s in Orange County during winter, there's often plenty of snow at the top of the tram.
There's also rental equipment available at the Adventure Center near the Mountain Station. The cross-country ski package is $21 per person; snowshoe package $18.
Enjoy – and don't forget your mittens.

This paper puts the lie to the very concept of global greenhouse.
You want global warming consensus? Here are the unvarnished consensus facts.
It is global cooling, not warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, especially Canada.
During the last 10,000 years climate has been seesawing between the North and South Atlantic Oceans.
The next 11-year cycle of solar storms will most likely start next March and peak in late 2011 or mid-2012.
Massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart 55 million years ago caused a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures.
The next major increase in sunspot activity will be in late 2011 or mid-2012. This will cause fewer clouds to form, increasing global warming.
The current debate about global warming is "completely irrational," and people need to start taking a different approach, say two Ottawa scientists.
The impact of the 1,500 year solar cycle on global warming arithmetic changes the numbers significantly.

Actually i am working for this website http://www.puttinout.com which is currently host on Blue hosting. Site load time is high we reduced our images size as much as possible but still it looks so high.
Its a Wp site so many of plugins we used may be it is the cause ? or its a template issue? Any expert please check and advice me if there is some possible solution for this?
I checked out that site using tools.pingdom.com. That site makes 231 requests to several servers totaling 6.8 seconds with a total size of 4.2 MB. A number of requests resulted in 0 bytes being returned. Making that many server requests is going to take time. No way around it. On two tests back-to-back, the wait time for the index page HTML content was 2.6 to 2.81 seconds, which is not super fast but is not bad if you are using plugins. Wordpress is awfully bloated to begin with. If you want to improve load time you are going to have to reduce the number of requests the page makes. 231 requests is one of the highest amounts I have seen yet.
These tools might help identify a few areas where you might be able to make some improvements. Note that they are general suggestions--not all the suggestions would be viable or appropriate. Feel free to ask if you're unsure of which ones might help or not help.
well first you have to verify what is the main reason of your website of increase load time, mostly its because of Images, and CSS, after that customize your images then upload again and fix CSS error hope fully your website loadtime will be decrease for sure
Go to validator.w3.org/Hire a front end developerKeep him working until there are zero errors.Period.
Load time is not really reliant on the number of HTML/CSS validation errors on a webpage. I've seen pages that have been chock full of validation errors that still load quickly.
Generally, load time has to do with the amount of time it takes to lookup domains, for the server to respond, for the client to download files from the server, and for the client to process any javascript.
There are some important point that are very helpful to reduce the webpage or website load time.
Compressing images might help.
Optimising images, yes, but most image formats are already compressed.
In any case, the home page has a document size of 1439 KB, of which only 139 KB is taken up by images, so they're not the major issue here. Using sprites to reduce the number of requests might help a little, but I don't know if that's even possible with Wordpress.
You can implement sprites if you've building or modifying a wordpress template. It's like any other HTML/CSS change you make to a template.
Personally, sprites tend to take up more time to implement and change than they are worth. In the days of dialup when every KB mattered they were useful, but the effort required to shave off just a couple of KB and the time it takes to establish a connection to each file just don't seem worth it to me today.
Compress the images and also use fast cache pulgin
Please reduce your file. js and the code size will help to speed up your website.
Thanks every one. We are working on it to fixed. Hope your suggestions will work for us. Cheers.
First what I see is big number of css and js files in source code header. Merge it at one. Also client images merge it one and position them using css. Google out this article "Yahoo Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site".
Its really a major issue. Try to avoid flash files in your page. If you are try to reduce the resolution of the image to very low then your picture will not looks nice. So If possible then try to use images in your style sheet. Place only few amount of images in your site directly.
I don't understand this advice. Images will have to be downloaded whether they're included as images in the HTML or as background images in the CSS, so it will have no effect on the site loading time.
When you are using images as backgrounds and place it in separate style sheet. Then definitely the loading time of the site will get reduced. I experienced that.
What Jasom said. Instead of multiple css and js files, have 1 css and 1 js master file. Google Yahoo 'yslow' - google also has such a tool. There are lots of little steps that you can make.
Check for all your plugin, few plugin will get you more web resource such as: Yet Another Related Post << for alternative you can use code for showing related post; Data Backup plugins Hit Counters plugins The plugin ongoing impact to the server and database (Broken Link Checker; Google XML Sitemaps; Auto blog plugin; SEO Auto Links; SEO Search Term Tagging 2...) Plugins for sending mail Insert watermark plugins ...You can use P3 Profile plugin for checking any slow plugin!
Good luck!

There is a long and slightly disreputable tradition in jazz of oral biography. The 'as told to' voice here belongs to Miles Davis, in Miles: The Autobiography, first published in 1989 and officially attributed to 'Miles Davis with Quincy Troupe' (see also Lady Sings the Blues by 'Billie Holiday with William Duffy'). Depending on mood, ethnicity, ideology, drug of choice, an oral biography can strike the reader as an authentic reproduction of voice, in all its self-contradictory rhythm and curl – or borderline racist, like some Victorian anthropologist's respectably freaky show and tell.

Topic: Meeting tiff1496
Hi everyone:
Just wanted to post that Tiff1496 and I are going to meet this week. Of course, I have to travel over 1000 miles to do so!!
Actually, she lives about 5 minutes from my parents and I am going down there to visit for a week. So we are going to finally meet. It will be nice to put a person to the voice and face...
I am planning on going with her to treatment so her onc can have 2 cc patients in her office at once. Let me rephrase: 2 HEALTHY LOOKING cc patients in her office at once!!
Still working on meeting Lisa, Pam and Lauren. They live about 7 or 8 hours from me and trying to get a long weekend in there somewhere so we can meet.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

"Does this include ALL 6 seasons?"
The case is very nice and it was nice to have the complete series not take up as much space as buying separately....
ITEM#: 11181116A gaggle of single Manhattan women experience the ups and downs of dating in this comedic HBO series that has earned wild popularity for its honesty regarding women's attitudes toward sex and relationships, as well as for its racy content. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw, the writer of a relationship column, who still has none of the answers. Though the men in her life come and go, Carrie is always surrounded by her friends: sex-hungry publicist Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), independent lawyer Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Park Avenue princess Charlotte York (Kristin Davis). The four women couldn't be more different in their careers and romantic lives, but they come together over laughter and tears, especially where men are concerned. This collection gathers all six seasons of the show loved by women (and secretly watched by men).

Girlfriend Gift
As boyfriends and husbands everywhere have learned through the centuries, sometimes in order to keep the peace we must open the estrogenial floodgates. Purchasing this box set is tantamount to signing a contract in blood that I will participate in viewing a Sex and the City marathon at some point with my girlfriend (most likely immediately after she opens the gift). It's not that guys can't enjoy Sex and the City. If every brain contains a little man brain and a little woman brain then watching Sex and the City is like the little woman brain kicking the man brain in the nuts and crowding him off the couch to eat a half gallon of rocky road. So guys, indulge your latent female brain, but be prepared to get a lot of commentary from your partner such as "you do that to me all the time" and "See? This is why girls hate that" comments. I will be forming a support group for any guys going through the same struggles.Read More

New data from The Cancer Council Victoria has revealed only 50% of warehouse and factory workers enjoy total protection from second-hand smoke at work, emphasising the importance of new Victorian tobacco reforms.
The story on the factory floor is in stark contrast to the office, where over 80% of these indoor workers have the benefit of working in a totally smokefree environment.
Director of The Cancer Council Victoria, Professor David Hill said that exposure to second-hand smoke among indoor workers is expected to drop dramatically following last week's introduction of total smoking bans in most enclosed workplaces.
"Victorian workplaces have made tremendous progress in relation to smokefree environments over the last 15 years, jumping from 33.9% having total indoor bans in 1990 to almost 75% in 2005."
"Despite the rapid increase in total smoking bans in workplaces from the late 1980s to early 1990s this figure has reached a plateau in recent years, so this legislation is essential to protect the remaining 1 in 4 Victorians who are currently exposed to the dangers of second-hand smoke in the workplace."
Professor Hill said it was important not to underestimate second-hand smoke as a workplace hazard, reminding employers and employees of workplaces yet to go smokefree that exposure is capable of causing short term discomfort, serious illness or, in the event of long term exposure, even death.
Executive Director of Quit Victoria, Mr Todd Harper, said total-smoking bans in enclosed workplaces would also increase the chances of individuals successfully quitting.
"With most enclosed workplaces going smokefree last week, we would anticipate an increase in workers making quit attempts."
"We would encourage all workplaces to use Quit programs to ensure staff are supported in attempts to quit smoking or cope with new smoking bans."
"To organise a Quit course for your staff or to get a copy of the Making Your Workplace Smokefree Guide, call 03 9635 5514 or log onto www.smokefree.org.au ."
Mr Harper, says Quit Victoria can also support workplaces adapting to new smokefree legislation by providing expertise to assist with the development or update of smokefree workplace policies.
"If your workplace requires assistance in the development of a smokefree policy or information on how to support your staff to stop smoking Quit has resources and advice to help." ÂÂ
