Millie's love: Life after pet loss
As I sat at the reception desk on an average Wednesday morning in January, I was completely unaware of what was about to come through the door. A woman we'll call "Kathy" pulled up to the clinic and walked in with a cat carrier in hand. Strange, I thought, as I wasn't expecting a cat and didn't recognize the woman. Kathy approached me cautiously and asked for my help. She explained to me that she thought something may have been wrong with the cat, Winky. It belonged to the elderly, homebound woman for whom she was a caregiver. She explained this woman, we'll call her "Millie," had owned the cat for years and no one had ever seen it before because it always hid from anyone but Millie. When Kathy arrived at Millie's house that morning and went into the bedroom, the cat was lying on the bed next to Millie and didn't scurry out of sight when Kathy entered. Kathy also noticed that Winky's food had gone untouched. Obviously something wasn't quite right with Winky.
I told Kathy she could leave the cat with us for the day and that we would try and do everything we could to figure out what was wrong with her. After she left I carried Winky's carrier to the back room and placed it on the table. At first glance through the bars at the front of her cage I was startled. Winky's back end was facing toward me and I couldn't exactly make sense of what I could see. It looked as though she had a long twisted spine, and I knew I didn't want to reach in and grab her for fear of causing injury. I carefully disassembled her cage, afraid of what I might find once I opened it. I'm not sure if it was worse than I had imagined, but what I saw made my jaw drop. Winky had a large and solidified clump of fur down the length of her back that raised up so high above her spine it looked as if she were attached to a second cat. None of us had ever seen anything quite like it. This cat was so badly matted I didn't even want to touch her. It looked like any sort of movement would cause her great pain. But despite this, Winky looked up at me and purred. I gently placed her into one of our cages and went to find our veterinarian.
Generally when an animal appears to be severely neglected our natural reaction is to get angry. I asked myself how a person could ever let a pet end up in this condition. What imbecile didn't take one look at Winky and rush her to a veterinarian, or at the very least, a groomer? I had to remind myself that Winky's owner, Millie, was suffering from dementia, and that Kathy had mentioned that in the past 10 years Millie's own son had never even seen this cat because she always hid. Millie was the only one for Winky, and what could she ever do for her beloved feline when she didn't even have her wits about her, or even the use of her own hands? Thus began the torrid love affair between our team members and Winky, the severely matted cat.Finding new friends
Once we became more acquainted with Millie and Kathy, we came to know them as wonderful people who were doing their best for Winky. As Winky's care commenced and we began to shave away the fur hunks (they weighed 2 pounds!), we started to notice more concerning ailments, including a tumor beneath her jaw. It seemed to cause some labored breathing and needed to be removed. Millie wanted us to do whatever we could for Winky, despite her age and regardless of the cost. She just wanted us to make her better as fast as we could. We often let Winky stay behind the reception desk to get her up and around and out of the cage, but she didn't have much interest in moving. Remarkably, however, on three occasions she mustered up the strength and walked over to me to get some attention. Here was an animal that hadn't had any interest in people other than Millie, purring at me and begging for love ... this cat had my heart in no time.
The day for the surgery finally came, and just as abruptly as Winky was dropped in our laps, our excitement turned to dismay. Once our veterinarian had her on the table and under the lights it became clear that Winky's tumor was inoperable. It appeared to have grown very deep into the jugular, and removing it was impossible. After much debate and a torturous phone call to Millie, Winky was euthanized while under anesthesia. Everyone was devastated. We hadn't realized how attached we were to Winky until she was gone. What's more, we'd even grown attached to her owner, a woman we hadn't even met. In an instant, a week-long battle that had encompassed our clinic was over, and we were forced to part ways with Millie ... or so we thought.

Hernandez loses sure bet to teammate Miley
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- David Hernandez thought he could not lose.
The D-backs' setup man bet teammate Wade Miley that his beloved Lakers would beat the Suns on Jan. 30 at U.S. Airways Arena.
And with 10 minutes to go in the game, the Lakers held their largest lead of the game at 78-65 and Hernandez was smiling.
"I thought it was a for sure win," the reliever said.
The Suns, though, outscored the Lakers, 27-8, over those final 10 minutes to win, 92-86, and on Tuesday, Hernandez had to pay part of the bet by wearing a white T-shirt that said "I Love the Suns," along with jeans shorts to the ballpark.
Hernandez also needs to purchase a Goran Dragic jersey for Miley.
"Unbelievable," Hernandez said. "The Lakers had a five-game road trip, and that was the only game they lost on the trip. It's all good though. The only bad part is it was really cold walking in here."
Temperatures were in the upper 30s in the early-morning hours when the players reported.

DARLINGTON, S.C.—A postrace scuffle erupted between the crews of Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman at Darlington Raceway Saturday night after Busch nearly hit members of Newman's crew with his car on pit road.
Busch and Newman both were involved in a wreck on lap 361 of the Bojangles Southern 500. Newman's Stewart-Haas Racing team was upset about the way Busch left his pit stall after the wreck, nearly hitting members of Newman's team.
Busch, who was running near the top 10 when he crashed, was upset after the wreck, showing his anger on his team radio.
Following the race, Busch ran into the back of Newman's car on pit road. Newman got out of his car and walked away, but some members of Newman's pit crew were there to meet Busch.
A shoving match ensued, causing a NASCAR official to fall onto the hood of Busch's car.
Newman gasman Andy Rueger was called to the NASCAR hauler after the incident. Penalties could be handed down next week.

— Slideshow: 2012 Sprint Cup winners
"It's bad enough doing normal pit stops, it's dangerous enough doing that," Newman crew chief Tony Gibson said. "When you come ripping through somebody's pit box like that, he could have took out five or six guys, plus the officials.
"I don't know how somebody didn't get run over, to be honest with you. It's just a miracle nobody got hit. NASCAR is taking care of it and we're all good and we'll go on."
NASCAR officials had talked to Newman, Gibson and Rueger after the race but had not talked with anyone from Busch's Phoenix Racing team.
"We talked to Newman a little bit and he talked to Kurt afterwards and Kurt said he didn't mean to hit him on pit road—he was taking his helmet off and looked up and he ran into the back of him," NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said.
"Right now, that is all the facts that we have."
Pemberton said NASCAR officials did not complain about contact getting shoved during the scuffle.
"We didn't see it that there was anything aggressive towards one of our officials," Pemberton said.
Phoenix Racing crew chief Nick Harrison said he knew Newman's crew would be looking for Busch after the race.
"It's great for our sport—if they're mad and want to fight, so be it," Harrison said. "It is what it is. We're here racing with Kurt Busch, we're going to defend Kurt Busch and that's our job.
"If you go anywhere racing in any part of America and you don't back your driver up, you don't deserve to be there with that driver and that's how we take it."
Busch, the 2004 series champion has a history of reacting angrily when things don't go his way. He was released from Penske Racing after last season following a series of emotional outbursts during the season, including a confrontation with an ESPN reporter during the season finale.
"It's easy to say that Kurt blew a fuse again," Newman told SI.com. "I'm not sure why he did it and tried to run over our guys and NASCAR officials. And nobody is. I think the chemical imbalance speaks for itself.
"Kurt drilled me in pit lane and said that he was taking his helmet off, and he didn't see where he was going. I'm pretty sure there were 42 other guys that are taking their helmets off and doing whatever for the last 10 years, and that's the first time that's happened to me.
"Circumstances I think are that he lied and was so frustrated that he doesn't know how to deal with his anger."

I have several pairs of my grandfathers Aviator sunglasses that are still all in the original AF cases. He was a fighter pilot in WWII. They have the wrap around the ear frames and are in excellent condition. Third picture is of the ear wrap around, which has a spiral type engraving on the metal? The glass quality is awesome for them being used. The glass in the pairs that I have vary in tints, which I'd like to know the history on. Not Ray-Bans, but just wandering if they are collectibles, as I have several pairs, all in fantastic condition, no, not for sale. I'd like to know more about them, i.e., if they were given to the pilots or purchased, the materials, etc.

Thanks so much for getting the two links into this topic as they are in my opinion key to the discussion. I'm especially happy that you posted the Adittapariyaya Sutta link:
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
I had forgotten about this sutta and wish I had put it into that other thread on whether Theravada is realist of not. In my view it is really a very clear statement on how the Buddha wants us to understand and relate to the All.....thanks again!

Anyone ever been to the Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA? I'm going to be out in MA and RI this week, so I might check it out.
Nope never, just seeing the conseco fieldhouse from outside would be enough for me! But im glad you gona there! have fun.
Yes, I used to live a little West of Hartford, Ct (not far from Springfield, MA), so I checked it out. To be blunt, it really wasn't all that impressive. There were some cool things to see, and if you are in town I would check it out, but I wouldn't go out of your way to see it.
To be fair, I saw the older version of the HOF, and at the time, they were building a bigger and better version. If that has been completed, and it probably has been by now, then my input is no longer valid.
Check out Boston if you get a chance while you are in MA. It is an awesome city with a ton of history. You can do a "quickie" tour of the city via the Duck Boats, vehicles that travel on land an in the water, that provide tours via the Prudential building downtown. If you have the time, and you are a history buff, then the Freedom Trail is hard to beat. You can see a ton of historical sights, and you wind up in the North End which has tons of awesome Italian restaurants. RI has great Italian eateries as well, and if you are in the southern end of RI you can check out Newport and/or the Breakers/Mansions.
There is alot to see. There are other current/former New Englanders on the forum who could give you advice on things to see I am sure. Enjoy your visit.
When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder. Show the world how much you'll fight for the winners circle. If you do, someday the cellophane will crackle off a fresh pack, one that belongs to you, and the cards will be stacked in your favor.
-Pat Riley
It's OK. There are a ton of activities geared for kids. Not so much for adults though it is interesting reading some of the bios and seeing the displays.
I think it's best use would be to bring your 12-year-old to - that could be a lot of fun.

Yeah I was there once, my intro speech was awesome.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

What DK doesn't mention is that he visited the Hall with SR and I a couple of winters ago. He put on a clinic of Jerry West-eque outside shooting in the indoor gym that had the locals truly dazzled.Originally Posted by DisplacedKnick
I'm sure you've already found a link to the Hall, Stryder, but just in case...

Newbury Street is lively in the evenings with lot of sitout restaurants. There are some good restaurants in China Town. If you are into academics, MIT and Harvard are very closeby in Cambridge with the Harvard Campus being very lively.
Thanks for the cool idea of going up to Cambridge. It didn't even cross my mind. I'll definitely be visiting both campuses (I'm such a dork). Haha.Originally Posted by pacerwaala

Lucy Liu
After being introduced to mainstream audiences with David E. Kelley's hit FOX show Ally McBeal in 1998, Lucy lit up the big screen in movies such as Payback (1999), Shanghai Noon (2000), Charlie's Angels (2000), Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002), Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol 2, not to mention a pair of Kung Fu Panda films and leading roles on the television series Southland and Elementary.
AppealA submissive woman can be sexy, but a forceful one is even better. Lucy's role in Ally McBeal, as Ling Woo, was the first of a string of dominant characters that have fueled our fantasies for years. It's like she knows that what we really need is a good spanking...
Even though Liu has the bad habit of keeping her clothes on, we can always fall back on her appearance in Bang (1995) -- in which she played a hooker -- and City of Industry (1997) -- in which she played a stripper -- to admire the goodies. And who can forget her televised kiss with Calista Flockhart?
SuccessDuring her senior year in high school, Lucy Liu played the lead in a production of Alice in Wonderland, which encouraged her to pursue acting. She headed to Hollywood and landed guest-starring spots on shows like Beverly Hills, 90210, L.A. Law, Coach, Home Improvement, ER, High Incident, The X Files and NYPD Blue.
Also interested in multimedia art, Lucy has had two professional exhibits, one in SoHo and another in Venice, California.
After doing the small movies Rhythm of Destiny (a Hong Kong film, in 1992), Protozoa (1993), Bang (1995), as well as a minor part in Jerry Maguire (1996) with Tom Cruise, she was cast as a regular in the sitcom Pearl, with Rhea Perlman.
One season later, the show was canceled and Lucy made the movies Gridlock'd, City of Industry, Guy, Flypaper, as well as television's Riot, all released in 1997. After the crime comedy Love Kills (1998), Liu became ill-tempered attorney Ling Woo on FOX's Ally McBeal, where she stayed until 2002.
In 1999, she appeared in True Crime, Payback, The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human with Carmen Electra, Molly, and Play It to the Bone, starring Antonio Banderas. Having become more popular, she finally got starring roles in Charlie's Angels (2000) and Shanghai Noon (2000), with Jackie Chan.
Hotel (2001), Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002), Cypher (2002), Chicago (2002), Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) were her next projects.
After appearing in archived footage of 2004's Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Lucy provided her voice to the animated series, Game Over and Maya & Miguel. She played alongside Josh Hartnett in Lucky Number Slevin in 2005. Since then Lucy has appeared in a string of films, but more importantly can be caught on a weekly basis on the TV shows Elementary and Southland.
Lucy Liu BiographyIt was in the Italian neighborhood of Queens, New York that Lucy Alexis Liu was born on December 2, 1968. Her childhood in Jackson Heights with her brother and sister resembled that of many immigrant families. Even though it was difficult, her Chinese parents, a biochemist and a civil engineer, raised their children the American way.
They also taught their children to speak both English and Mandarin, which caused Lucy to have an identity crisis during her days at Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School. Still, she learned to accept herself and graduated in 1986.
lucy liu in schoolAfter the summer, she enrolled in New York University. In spite of the school being a very distinguished establishment of higher learning, she found the place to be gloomy and cynical. As a result, she only stayed for a year.
For her sophomore year, Lucy went to Ann Arbor and joined the University of Michigan, where she studied singing, acting and dancing. She ultimately graduated with a degree in Asian languages and cultures.
lucy's early tv rolesLucy always knew she was artistic and, during her senior year of high school, she tried her hand at theater in Andre Gregory's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. This gave her a taste of what it's like to be a professional actress and she quickly wanted more.
She moved to Los Angeles, where she supported herself by being a waitress. Before long, she landed a guest-starring part on Beverly Hills, 90210. Over the years, she made other guest appearances in shows such as L.A. Law, Coach, Home Improvement, ER, The X Files, High Incident and NYPD Blue.
In 1993, Lucy's collection of multimedia art pieces was showcased at the Cast Iron Gallery in SoHo. Because of that, she was awarded a grant to study art in China. Upon her return, the chronicles of her journey (photography, paints, ceramics, collages) were exhibited in a gallery in Venice, California.
lucy on ally mcbealAlong with her early TV career, Liu landed roles in various small movies. She was in the Hong Kong feature Rhythm of Destiny (1992), the early Darren Aronofsky film Protozoa (1993), Bang (1995), and she had a small role in Jerry Maguire (1996) as one of Jerry's former girlfriends.
In 1996, Liu was also cast as a regular in the short-lived CBS sitcom Pearl, with Rhea Perlman and Malcolm McDowell. This secured her position in Hollywood and, in 1997, she was in five movies: Gridlock'd, City of Industry, Guy, Flypaper, and television's Riot. After a small role in Mario Van Peebles' Love Kills (1998), Lucy was introduced to mainstream America. She auditioned for the role of Nelle Porter on Ally McBeal, but Portia de Rossi got it instead. Nevertheless, writer-producer David E. Kelley noticed Lucy's spunk and promised to write a character especially for her.
The character was Ling Woo, a fiery lawyer who never took no for an answer, and she was introduced in a September 1998 episode of Ally McBeal. Lucy was so riveting that she was invited to join the regular cast. She was nominated for an Emmy (as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series) in 1999 and stayed on until the show's demise in 2002.
lucy the movie starWith her stock rising, Lucy was in demand and made several motion pictures. In 1999, she played a dominatrix in Payback with Mel Gibson, and appeared in Clint Eastwood's True Crime, Molly, The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (with Carmen Electra), and the sports comedy Play It to the Bone, starring Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson.

Lucy's next project was the action comedy Shanghai Noon (2000) with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson. Shortly thereafter, she appeared in another blockbuster, the star-studded Charlie's Angels (2000), in which she played one of the female leads alongside Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore.
Following the independent Mike Figgis film Hotel (2001), Liu teamed up with Antonio Banderas once more and starred as a government agent in Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002). After Cypher (2002) and a brief appearance in the Oscar-winning Chicago (2002), she joined the "Angels" again for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003).
lucy liu in kill bill vol. 1After that, she decided to slow down as her schedule was too hectic. Consequently, Lucy kept busy with only one movie -- although it's since been partitioned in two -- Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004, in archived footage).
In 2005, she added Domino, 3 Needles and Lucky Number Slevin to her resume.
Lucy Liu Returns To Television
In 2012 Lucy made her return to television. For Elementary, an American reinterpretation fo Sherlock Holmes she plays Joan Watson, a female twist on Sherlock's traditionally male assistant. She also appeares in the police drama Southland for a recurring guest role as police officer Jessica Tang. Lucy, you can arrest us any day.

Jordan, Is that You? The Many Guises of Jared Leto
Jared Leto is a master of disguise, the king of camouflage, one sneaky so and so. Whether he's going all in for a new role (and we mean all in) or fulfilling his duties as rock band 30 Seconds to Mars' frontman, homeboy manages to look different every time we lay eyes on him. Most recently, Leto has traded in his scruffy face and leather jacket for a floral dress and feminine wig on the set of Dallas Buyers Club, costarring a scary skinny Matthew McConaughey.
In the film, Leto plays Rayon, a transsexual woman with AIDS. For the role, Leto had to not only don a dress, wig, and heels, but also shave his eyebrows and lose weight. He told Vulture at the IFP Gotham Awards that he has been fasting in order to achieve his gaunt look. He says of fasting, "Your body goes through weird stages. Sometimes it's hard to hold on to water. But for me, it's not about the most weight I can lose, it's more to represent the character. I'm focused on what it means to be a transsexual woman."
But before Leto played a transsexual woman, we knew him as a homicide detective (with a Clark Gable mustache), the man who killed John Lennon, and — at the start of it all — dreamy Jordan Catalano. Let's take a little jaunt down memory lane and see how Leto went from Jordan to Rayon, with a few stops at Creepytown along the way.
30 Seconds to Mars (2010)
Holy mohawk! Sometimes, Leto likes to pretend he is a European discotech DJ sensation. (Or Protozoa, from Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century fame.)
Chapter 27 (2007)
Leto packed on some major pounds (67, to be precise) to play John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman.
Lonely Hearts (2006)
Just a year earlier, Leto was svelte and mustachioed. And is it just me, or does he look about 10 years older than he does now? Okay, maybe not 10. Seven though, at least.
Panic Room (2002)
Everyone is so distracted by young Kristen Stewart's tomboy haircut that cornrow-clad Leto gets looked over. But there he is. With cornrows… and a strangely geometrical beard. We wouldn't want to run into this dude alone in a dark alley.
Sunset Strip (2000)
Leto appears in full 1970s glory — long hair, python bandana, tinted shades and all — to play up-and-coming country rocker Glen Walker.
Girl, Interrupted (1999)
Mr. Leto has one heck of a beard when he plays Winona Ryder's war-bound ex-boyfriend. But look at those eyes!
Fight Club (1999)
The very same year, Leto went platinum blonde and took a major beating in the cult classic Fight Club. Man, does he look effed up. We promise Leto's gorgeous mug is under there somewhere — heck, his character's name in the film is Angel Face.
My So-Called Life (1995)
Dreamboat city! No one is more crushworthy than teenaged Claire Danes' bad boy boyfriend, Jordan Catalano.

The highlight for Tuesday Musical's 2014-15 season, which the organization announced on March 10, will include the first ever joint venture between Tuesday Musical and The Akron Symphony Orchestra.
Violinist Joshua Bell, who has performed for Tuesday Musical in the past, will be featured with the Akron Symphony in a concert scheduled for November.
"This collaboration with the Akron Symphony Orchestra is an opportunity to demonstrate all of our artistic abilities in the community," said Jarrod Hartzler, executive director for Tuesday Musical, during the March 10 press conference.
Paul Jarrett, executive director for the Akron Symphony, said the collaboration, the first between the two entities, will hopefully be the first of many partnerships.
"The core mission of the Akron Symphony is to enhance the quality of life through musical excellence," Jarrett said. "This partnership with Tuesday Musical Association allows us to fulfill that mission at a level that would otherwise not be possible."
All Tuesday Musical concerts are performed at E.J. Thomas Hall in Akron.
In addition to the Nov. 7 concert Akron Symphony Orchestra and Joshua Bell, Tuesday Musical's 2014-15 season will include:
Time for Three string ensemble, Oct. 8
Jonathan Biss, piano, Jan. 20, 2015
Tenor Lawrence Brownlee, Feb. 26, 2015
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Piano Trio, March 31, 2015, and
Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble, May 5, 2015.
A notable omission in the 2014-15 lineup is the Cleveland Orchestra, a staple for Tuesday Musical for many years. Hartzler said that due to scheduling conflicts, The Cleveland Orchestra will not be performing for Tuesday Musical in the next season, but that the organization "hoped they will return in the future."
Tuesday Musical's next concert, its final one for the 2013-14 season, will feature Susan Graham, mezzo-soprano, and Bradley Moore, pianist, on April 10.
The next concert for the Akron Symphony Orchestra's classical series will be April 12 at 8 p.m. at E.J. Thomas Hall, featuring Beethoven and Rossini.

I asked four Pro Grandmasters if I could could join their group at this mornings singles. On the first hole, one said that there was over 100 years experience in our fivesome (including my 10 months.) The 60 year old birthday boy shot -7 on Shelby Forest's toughest course to tie for first cash while I shot one of my worst rounds this year, +8. I missed 4 putts inside 15' with my Ion, early released and grip locked tee shots, and blew several upshots too far by to make the comeback. Nothing felt right, so stupid me paid again for an impromtu round of doubles with a few veterans that stuck around including the 60 year old kung fu master... no seriously he's known as "Karate Don." These guys are never going to let me play with them again
Any suggestions to break yourself out of a funk during play AND how do I convince these guys to let me play with them again so I can redeem myself?

Brad Oscar, Nicole Parker, and More Set for FIRST DATE Reading Today
Tony Award-winning producers Junkyard Dog Productions and Hal Luftig announced today that they will present a reading of the new musical FIRST DATE today, December 14, 2012. With a book by Austin Winsberg, music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner and direction by Bill Berry, the reading of FIRST DATE will feature Eric Ankrim, Sara Chase, Alli Mauzey, Brandon O'Neill, Brad Oscar, Nicole Parker and Andre Ward.
FIRST DATE had its world premiere in Seattle as part of a co-production between A.C.T. and The 5th Avenue Theatre. It began performances at A Contemporary Theatre on March 10, 2012, opened on March 29 and played through May 20, 2012.
FIRST DATE is a contemporary, romantic musical comedy that explores all of the highs and lows of that dreaded but inevitable social encounter known as the "first date." The musical follows Aaron (Erik Ankrim), and Casey (Sara Chase), as they embark on their first date, and attempt to let down their guards and get to know each other. Each new topic they explore – friends, upbringings, religion, technology, even the great unifier, Quantum Leap – represents a potential landmine on the path to true love. FIRST DATE taps into all of our basic human desires for romance and connection while exploring the modern dating landscape in a highly inventive and theatrical way.
FIRST DATE was originally co-produced by The 5th Avenue Theatre: David Armstrong, Executive Producer and Artistic Director; Bernadine Griffin, Managing Director, Bill Berry, Producing Director, and A Contemporary Theatre Seattle, WA: Kurt Beattie, Artistic Director and Carlo Scandiuzzi, Executive Director.

Progressive Democrats of America
Progressive Democrats of America was founded in 2004 to transform the Democratic Party and our country. We seek to build a party and government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites-with policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private interests. As a grassroots PAC operating inside the Democratic Party, and outside in movements for peace and justice, PDA played a key role in the stunning electoral victories of November 2006 and 2008. Our inside/outside strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles.
For over two decades, the party declined as its leadership listened more to the voices of corporations than those of Americans. PDA strives to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up-from every congressional district to statewide party structures to the corridors of power in Washington, where we work arm in arm with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In just a couple of years PDA and its allies have shaken up the political status-quo on issues from ending the Iraq war, voter rights, protecting Social Security, a full employment economy, national healthcare and economic justice.
Progressive Democats of America is a federal political committee which primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values through a variety of activities aimed at influencing the outcome of the next election.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – While it has been over a decade since the Kentucky Turnpike Water District was an agency to deal with, county officials were suddenly faced with dealing with it once again.
In order to formally close out the Kentucky Turnpike Water District in the eyes of the state Public Service Commission, some final paperwork needed to be done.
In order to get that paperwork done, there needed to be a KWTD commission in place.

Image: Fluorescing Goatfish
A 'fluorescing' Bluestriped Goatfish, Upeneichthys lineatus, photographed at night at a depth of 5 m, Camp Cove, Sydney Harbour, New South Wales, 27 March 2013.
- Photographer:
- Erik Schlögl
- Rights:
- © Erik Schlögl
The photograph was taken using two Seacam flashes with Nightsea BE3 Exciter filters (to get the near-UV light). A yellow filter on the camera lens cut back the non-fluorescent blue light reaching the sensor.
Thank you to Ulricke Siebeck who wrote: "In the case of fluorescence something in the skin (recently termed 'fluorophores') is illuminated with short wavelength light, which it absorbs and then re-emits at longer wavelengths. The resulting effect is a bit like the effect you get when you wear a white t-shirt under black light illumination. This 'glowing' only happens if the right stimulating light is used – which in nature only happens during the day. During the day the emitted signal is swamped by the ambient illumination (with the exception of perhaps red at certain depth) so I don't think it can be detected then. The image you were sent was taken at night when the photographer was able to restrict the illumination to the stimulating wavelengths and he probably took the photo through a filter which removed the stimulating wavelength and therefore only transmits the emitted longer wavelengths."

Operation: Astronomy-EctomyLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Six words have had their astronomical terms removed. The astronomical terms have been placed into Group A. The remaining letters of each word have been placed into Group B. Your task is to reconstitute the words by merging each astronomical term with the proper set of letters. Other than merging the two groups together, there is no rearranging of the letters. Example: sand + pne = spanned (SpANneD).
Group A: comet, moon, nova, orbit, star, sun
Group B: egosu, islble, ojor, onty, sic, vee
Answercomet + sic = cosmetic (COsMETic)
moon + onty = monotony (MonOtONy)
nova + islble = insolvable (iNsOlVAble)
orbit + vee = overbite (OveRBITe)
star + egosu = stegosaur (STegosAuR)
sun + ojor = sojourn (SojoUrN)
What Next?

I don't know what apple did in 10.8.2 update but since it installed osx can't even boot with native ACPIPlatform (10.8 can do) it stuck at some cpu detection code in log. I tested it on my dev ML installation and it stuck after that
So beware install and reboot osx after update without rollbacking ACPIPlatform
Hmmm not really.
The only kexts I've seen updated are not the ones provided by Joshhh.
Anyway, I've copied over the ones provided again with no luck.
Right now, even the safe mode won't start.
There's a change however. There's no activity indicator [finally remembered how this damn thing is called ] when loading the system, and the HDD led blinks from time to time.
So I'm testing my patience to see if it will boot eventually.
no luck... I've tried installing OS again and performing update without applying kexts/dsdts and... no luck as well.
Damn :/
Any thoughts?

There are few people I blindly trust my vocals with. Miro Pajic is one of them. When I was in Berlin and just last month I recording some lyrics for MIro to use. His label Lazerslut in well known in the Minimal scene and he has been very successful with Beatport. Not only has he produced another two great tracks Das Seltsame Grau and Your Lips he has gathered remixes from Ol' Dirty Beaner (Bar 25) and PCP legend The Mover.
"The title track Das Seltsame Grau , a modern zombie-dance tale performed by Oliver, showing of his german language-skills and his usual hypnotic power. Together with Miros programming passion, this obscure piece of modern dance music puts a spell on you and the person next to you. The Horrorist wouldn't be the Horrorist, if the music wouldn't speak words of horror, like in Your Lips . Spooky voice effects jacketed in assertive sound structures and bulldozer bass-ground guarantee a cold shower experience and pleasing nightmares." – miropajic.com

ATLANTA — Squeezed into his Georgia Dome locker, the leading scorer in this year's NCAA Tournament is quick to offer encouragement for the "other" prep basketball players worried about achieving their college hoops aspirations.
"If I had any advice for any guys not ranked or not really being looked at," Louisville's Russ Smith says, "I would say, 'Don't worry about it.' "
Smith speaks from experience. An emerging star who is averaging 26.0 points during Louisville's four-game run to Atlanta, he was a two-star recruit in the Class of 2009, according to the Scout.com rankings.
That's water under the bridge now. Funny how back-to-back Final Four appearances can erase slights.
— Final Four: Louisville vs. Wichita State, 6:05 p.m. ET | Syracuse vs. Michigan, 8:49 p.m. ET | Full NCAA Tournament bracket
"Man," he says with a shake of his head, "I really don't knock anybody for that. I always play hard, wherever."
This nearly unstoppable dynamo has garnered the praise of opposing coaches who are quick to acknowledge the player he has become.
"He's dynamite," says Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, whose Shockers have the task of slowing Smith on Saturday. "He's so quick. He can contort his body in so many ways. He can shoot it, he's just ultra, ultra fast and quick and talented."
Teammate Wayne Blackshear has another adjective to add to the mix.
"Awkward," he says with a laugh. "I just thought it was crazy, the way he gets the shots up how he does. It's how he gets to the basket, how he dribbles. It was just funny, from the first day I got here last year … Russ, he just puts the ball in the basket. That's what a scorer does. I'd never seen a person play like Russ did until I got here."
DeCourcy: Backcourt depth an issue | Final Four team rankings
There is very little conventional about Smith's game, and maybe that's part of the reason he has always been underestimated. He arrived at Louisville — which was by far the biggest name school to offer a scholarship — as a 5-10 kid who weighed a whopping 147 pounds, according to coach Rick Pitino.
He barely played his freshman season, because of injuries and other reasons. Before a home game against West Virginia, he packed his bags and was ready to leave school in the middle of the season. His then-roommate, Rakeem Buckles, talked him out of making a rash decision, and he wound up playing nine minutes that game, which might not sound like much but was more than he'd played in almost a month.
Even after the season, he thought about leaving school. His dad put a stop to that talk, though.
"My dad was like, 'No, you're not going to go out like that. You're from Brooklyn. We don't tap out. If there's a problem, you're going to deal with it,' " Smith says.
So he stayed, and had a breakthrough sophomore year. For every moment where his exceptional talent was on display, though, he made a few glaring mistakes that drew the ire of Pitino and the Louisville fan base. The nickname "Russdiculous" was born.
That description of Smith's game, while perfect for his sophomore season, doesn't necessarily apply this year. He's cut way down on his bad shots — a constant hindrance in his past — and his turnover percentage has dropped from 19.4 to 16.5.
The perception has remained, though. Even though he was the best player on a team that spent 17 weeks in the AP poll top 10— including a week at the No. 1 spot — he didn't get much consideration for national player of the year awards. The raw numbers say he probably should have been.
Heading into the Final Four, he's averaging 18.9 points, 2.9 assists and 2.13 steals, and he has improved his effective field-goal percentage from 40.5 percent as a sophomore to 47.7 percent this season. He finished No. 1 in the Pomeroy player of the year standings, comfortably ahead of Michigan's Trey Burke.
He was a Sporting News third-team All-American, and was on the AP third team, too.
"For me to make All-American is something my family, my coach and my teammates are proud of because I know where I started," Smith says, "and I was not on the road to being named All-American."
Actually, though, he was on the road to being named an All-American. His starting point just had fewer stars than normal.

Summer interns recognized across Texas
At the very tip of South Texas in Estero Llano Grande State Park, Christopher Sandoval stands at a trail head waiting for visitors. Sandoval is interning this summer with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
A Wildlife Science sophomore at Texas A&M, Sandoval has spent the summer immersed in park operations including natural resource interpretation, habitat management and grounds maintenance.
"Chris's education and passion for nature has combined with his bilingual ability and made him a valuable asset to our park," said Kyle O'Haver, Natural Resource Specialist at Estero Llano Grande State Park and World Birding Center.
Each summer TPWD employs dozens of seasonal interns throughout the state parks system. These interns gain valuable experiences in state park operations from trail work to grant writing. Internships are offered to undergraduate and graduate students in majors like recreation management and wildlife science, but also to students in majors such as marketing and geographical information sciences.
When he isn't interacting with visitors or clearing brush, Sandoval works on park improvement projects. He aided in improving a feeding station and recently wrote a proposal for a site water feature. Both of these projects, says Sandoval's supervisor, will be long-lasting additions to Estero Llano.
"These are changes to the park that he can come back and see the personal effect he has made in our park," said O'Haver.
Farther north, graduate intern Lindsay Sansom sits down in her Austin headquarters office, ready to analyze another digital map layer. Sansom is working to create a statewide inventory of geospatial data for all publically accessible recreation and conservation lands in Texas.
The project is a part of the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. When complete the project could bring federal dollars to Texas through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. In addition to assisting in the creation of digital maps, Sansom is also analyzing the plan's economic impact and assisting in technical writing and editing for the project.
A third generation Texan and Hill Country native, Sansom is currently working on her master's in international relations and environmental policy at Boston University.
"Overall, this has been the most productive and enjoyable internship that I have ever held," said Sansom. "I have met some truly amazing people here and the contacts that I've made, in addition to the professional experience I've gained, will be invaluable for me as I move forward."
Her thesis covers trans-boundary aquifers, water scarcity issues and groundwater policy. Sansom plans to focus on the Hueco Bolson, an aquifer under Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. The aquifer is the primary groundwater source for Ciudad Juarez and El Paso.
A few zip codes above headquarters nestled in the pines and cedar trees of East Texas, Courtney Speer's newly-scouted primitive camping sites along the Cedar Hill State Park's Duck Pond Trail are waiting for visitors.
Speer completed her summer internship this week, having logged 400 hours of service welcoming campers, doing ride-a longs both on land and water with state park police and game wardens, working with children's programs and giving interpretive tours of the park.
She participated in a park operations workshop at Dinosaur Valley State Park where she and other interns and trainees learned about park business while taking part in track cleanups and mountain biking rides.
"Courtney's main project at CHSP this summer was to organize designated primitive campsites on our Duck Pond Trail," said Cedar Hill Assistant Superintendent Robert Rinn. "Courtney scouted out potential campsites and obtained all necessary clearances to move forward with opening up the news sites. She also marked the trail and all campsites within with carsonite markers. She was a great help during her 400 hours with us and we hope she decides to come back to the Department when she finishes school."
Speer attends Texas A&M as a senior recreation parks and tourism major. Rinn says she was chosen for the internship because of her love of the outdoors and her passion for wanting to work in the parks.

If Nash signs an extension and all we have to do is give up collison i say yes! Nash still has some good years in him and would give us more veteran leadership especially in the playoffs. Do it Bird
I'm a Beast
Isin't it illegal to have a player currently under contract to get a "wink wink I will resign here" from the team that might choose to extend?
Sittin on top of the world!
As much as I would like to do that, I'd hate to move Collison away from this team after he's committed to trying to be a leader, after he finally gets a chance for some coach consistency, and after we surround him with a couple of familiar faces....
But Steve Nash would make this team very good though.
its illegal for any player to contact another team for any reason without permission.
If it's still available, I wouldn't mind revisiting this deal at the deadline, when we have more evidence to base our decision on. Why act now?
This is all a moot point though, unless Sarver is willing to let his franchise player go and lose ticket sales, which he has been unwilling to do as of yet.
Sittin on top of the world!
Obviously, DC2 will never have the career that Nash has had, but this season so far:
Age 24
10.6 7.2 1.6 .667 .722
Age 37
10.8 8.0 0.4 .316 1.000
I know Nash doesn't have a lot of talent around him anymore, but I'd very hesitant to do this deal. If DC is not in the future it's a no brainer, but I think he is part of the future. Just my opinion.
Passion. Pride. Patience. Pacers
If it's straight up, you pull the trigger. I like Darren, and actually have some mutual friends with him, but even at this stage of his career, Nash brings exactly what we need. If we can sign him for another 2 years its perfect, because by then, you have Lance at 24 years old, more mature and probably ready for a chance at the starting PG spot after 3 years of being behind Nash. Great situation.
Yeah I wouldn't count on Lance to be our PG of the future.
Something about take less money now for more money later. Then the league took 3 picks from them, which was an overreaction in my opinion.
thats right , even though that probably went on more than we know the league wanted to make an example out of them
Sittin on top of the world!
They rescinded his bird rights and re-signed him to a cheap 1-year deal with the promise (in writing) that he would get a multi-year extension down the road. The Wolves used the extra cap space to sign Chauncey Billups and LaPhonso Ellis.
If Nash was 30-34 maybe? Uhhh......... I don't even know where to begin with that one.
Nash wants to win. He has a waaaaaaay better chance to win here than in Phx. I think he would welcome it with arms wide open.
I think you take the gamble. I'd also have my players in Deron Williams ears if I am Larry Bird.
A lot of PG's on the market in the next two seasons. Even the rental might not be a bad idea.
Raymond Felton is a free agent next season, or Deron Williams if you really want to shoot for the stars. Jameer Nelson is a free agent in two years. If Nash elevates you to an ECF caliber team, landing another guy becomes that much easier I think.
I think Felton and Nelson are the same tier of PG as Collison can likely be, If you think you can pick one of those guys up... why not roll the dice? If Nash makes you look like a title contender, who says Deron Williams might not even give you consideration?
If none of that happens, you aren't up **** creek, you still have George Hill. You might even have hope for Lance Stevenson.
Makes a lot of sense to me.

What KStat said, though this would be a horrific trade for the Suns.
If this happened, I guess I'd be 50/50 on it... Love Nash but ooooooold.
I'm still holding out hope for Rondo. He's my dream acquisition.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Did the trade on ESPN's trade machine. While we all have varying opinions on Hollinger according to his analysis getting Nash for Collison would decrease the Pacers projected wins by 5 and increase the Suns by 5. Found that interesting and I'm not big on the per stat but that does backup my belief that it wouldn't be that good of a trade.
If we could somehow net Robin Lopez alongside Nash while sending DC+1st....I'd be okay with that.
I think that Bird's perceived window to put together the best, most competitive Team is 2 years.....as evidenced by West's signing of 2 years......his preference to go after JCraw for only 2 years and Granger's contract that last another 3 years ( yes, it's 3 years for Granger...but my guess is that we want to try to win as much as we can with Granger onboard before he heads off as a UFA ).
With GH and Lance backing him up....I think that Nash is in such good condition that he can still contribute at a high level for another 2 seasons if we don't over use him. I don't want to give up a 1st round pick....but Nash is a difference maker...even at his current age....the question is if he can contribute at a higher level then DC over the next 2 years or not.
But in the end...I am guessing that Nash will prefer to go to a Championship Contender....specifically the Celtics. I still think that Ainge will offer up Rondo for Nash and Lopez.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
That trade machine is bunk, I just did Steve Nash for AJ Price just to see what it would say. It had us only going up 1 win and the Suns only dropping 3 wins.
Yeah, cause Steve Nash is only worth 3 wins over AJ Price...
If this does happens then I think another determining factor is Lance being able to take over the team next season..... Larry I feel sees Lance as the starter of the team in the near future. So in that sense Larry may feel DC is hampering Lance, so he becomes expendable. Plus why not have a hall of fame pg mentoring and grooming Lance......IMO
I'm not perfect and neither are you.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.
DC is hampering Lance? I mean seriously?
Personally, I would rather wait and see how Collison produces under Vogel. Keeping it real...even at 38, Nash is still producing at a high level. John Stockton had that same ageless game.

System Memory shortage
Sorry if this has been addressed. I have looked through the forums and found nothing yet.I checked a few features out throughout the evening and went to fire up my COD WAW game. I had ventrilo running. I got into a game and got out to check something on the net.The good ol' Low Memory message came on!Now I have 8 GB of RAM plus a 2 GB flash drive for ReadyBoost. Checking my system info with my WEI score and Windows says I have 8 GB of RAM, checking Task Manager -> Performance Tab 3.3 GB. Checking even further under dxdiag the same amount showed for system memory and it gave my vid card (HD3870) 512MB more RAM.Any thoughts?Yes I am running the 64-bit version. Yes I checked each stick of RAM (2x2GB) individually. Unfortunately I can't say if it just started or if it was there from the install.
AHHHHHHHHH I see says the blind man!!!!! So I saw the resource monitor button and decided to click it ( I can't resist buttons!) well low and behold.......there is a memory tab! Selecting that revealed where 4.8GB of my RAM went. Its reserved for hardware!!!! Thats why it shows 3.3Gb in Task Manager, because thats what is reserved for programs. Come on Microsoft do i really need 4.8GB for hardware? I'm not controlling the Hubble telescope!

TroyW76, I'm thinking the BIOS is to blame for this problem. I've seen a few similar problems in the past where a BIOS release would cause stuff similar to this. Try to see if there is a newer BIOS release for your system. If not be sure to e-mail the tech support for your system with these issues.
Interesting... I have the same situation with my memory. No matter what, W7b 64bit only uses 3GB RAM, not unlike 32bit XP. System Information says I have 4 gigs of "Installed Phsical Memory" and "Total Physical Memory" of 2.5 gigs ( +512 on the graphics card). My "Total Virtual Memory" increased after I checked the "Maximum memory" box in System Configuration... again, kinda like 32bit XP. (And yes, the BIOS mem mapping settings are set for 4+ gigs and also report 4 gigs installed and working). -curious
Nargg- I would normally agree. I do have the latest BIOS and had all the latest drivers (system and peripheals). Being this is a beta I wouldn't expect MSI to release drivers that are Win7 certified yet.I am running an MSI K9A2 Premium (which sucks, don't ever get) and an AMD 9850BE quad core and an ATI HD3870 with 8GB of G-Skill DDR2 PC8000 RAM.I am certain there is nothing wrong, as the motherboard AND Resource monitor BOTH report the same amount of "Total" RAM installed. I am thinking the new memory management in Win7 is to blame. As you can see in the picture above 4.8GB is "Hardware Reserved."I think if Microsoft is going to tweak the Resource Management, they need to implement "Profiles" or some function to allow IT professionals (such as myself) to alter the amount that is reserved. It would allow system builders and retailers that have on-site repairs to help their customers adjust the performance to their needs.This is my gamimg rig and to come out of Call of Duty: World at War and see the low memory warning is a shock. I haven't seen that in about 3 years. since I left a helpdesk LOL!Being that I don't use alot of peripheals, except a keyboard, mouse, headset, and now a 640GB backup drive; i see no reason why I need 4.8GB reserved.Thanks for the post though Nargg. We need to post our thoughts as often as possible to avoid a Vista launch.
1dh1- did you run dxdiag yet? If so, did you notice that your graphics card now reports twice the physical amount of on-board RAM? I must say that when I play COD now the colors, picture and performance has improved! Another buddy of mine has the beta too and he says the same thing.

hi you can release reserved memory by runing services and disable superfetch .
good luck
Here is what disabling SuperFetch results to. It only frees up "Free" memory , does nothing for hardware. I trip up on semantics, if it says Hardware, I take it half of my RAM is sitting there waiting for more hardware to be used. If that is not the same thing, they need to change the name then. I know that turning off services can free up memory, but I'm worried about this hardware reserve. I ran Vista without a page file and was blazing fast, now if I try I get a low memory warning. I installed more RAM to not worry about stuff like that.If Microsoft makes statements that Win7 can run just fine on a 1Ghz proc, 2GB of RAM, 128MB video card and a 40GB hard drive, overkill as it may be, I should never have any negatives in terms of low memory.
I have an ECS A939 Mobo with 2gb running win 7 x64 and this is what I get:
Hardware 3mb, In use 899mb, Modified 4mb, Standby 1141Mb, Free 1mb
Available to programs 1142mb
Used for cache 1145 mb
Total 2045
Total Installed 2048 mb
I can't see you being able to make a useful diagnosis with the figures unless you know what they are really telling you. The fact that we get widely differing results is a cause for concern because you would think that they would be in proportion to the amount of memory we have.
Hi Troy, something doesn't seem right here and I too think it may be BIOS memory remap type issue - I know you say you've checked this - maybe there's a BIOS update needed or another option you've overlooked?
Really clutching at straws, but are you certain it's 64bit version you've installed? Did you clean install or was it an upgrade?
For your info, on a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit my figures are;
Hardware Reserved - 2mb
In Use - 1708mb
Modified - 21mb
Standby - 6449mb
Free - 12mb
Available to programs - 6461mb
Used for cache - 6469mb
Total - 8190mb
Installed - 8192mb
I know that's not much help overall, but there's something not right as I'd expect your figures to be similar to mine - at least not such a huge discrepancy on the "Hardware Reserved".
Have same problem with Win 7 Pro x64 on HP NX9420. 4GB RAM installed and Windows is showing over 600MB as hardware reserved, so usable is something about 3,5GB. I don't have any memory remap option in BIOS. Hopefully will HP bring out a new Bios. For the time being will stay with XP 32bit.
I have 2 systems running Win 7 x64. One is an HP laptop with Vista Home Prem w/4gig of ram. It was a total dog until I allowed Win 7 to do an "in place upgrade" to Win 7. Result was a MUCH more vigorous productivity. However, to get an even nicer operation, I added an 8gig Kingston flash drive; reformatting it to NTFS allowed the whole drive to be dedicated to ReadyBoost. It was worth the about $20 for the flash drive addition to the system cache, especially better than spending about $400 to upgrade to the system limit of 8gig of system ram (2x4gig).
The 2nd system is a desktop with 8gig of system ram. With that one I am dual-booting it with XP Pro, but am now doing almost everything workwise on the Win 7 partition. I also have a Patriot XT 8gig flash drive formatted NTFS totally dedicated to ReadyBoost caching. It is GREAT for productivity.
On the HP laptop Win 7 still occasionally complains about some apps & drivers needing upgrades to 64bit, but it still works fine without them so far; about 2 months running on the laptop.
I have had some blue screens on the desktop; I uninstalled eBoostr and it went away; I suspect it fought with ReadyBoost - they both do the same thing, except eBoostr Pro allowed control of individual apps usage of the cache.

I have a similar problem.. First of all I have a Samsung NP-R560 AS03TR.Specs:-Intel Core2 Duo T9400 @2.53GHz-4GB DDR3 RAM-Nvidia 9600M GT 512MB GDDR3When I bought the laptop it came with Vista 32-bit and I only had 30MB reserved for hardware.. I upgraded and now I have 1030mb reesrved for my hardware ??There just has to be a way to reduce this amount..
Strangely I had this problem too. My laptop came with Win Vista Ultimate x86. I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x86 and as far as I knew it was running all full physical memory which is 2GB, (2048 MB).
My first Win 7 was a fresh install so I had formatted the drive, removing Vista, once 7 was installed I ran the Experience Test it showed me having the full 2GB of memory available.
This time round I had done an upgrade because I couldn't be bothered backing up all my personal data this time. This might have been a factor in the memory change reported by Windows but I'm not sure.
Basically after the upgrade from Vista to 7 it was showing only 1 GB was usable, that's what got me searching for the problem on google. I tried all the methods I could find, MSCONFIG changes, try Memory Remapping but my BIOS doesn't support it and so on.
My lappy has on-board graphics too, at first I thought I was out of luck, even tho it only uses a small amount of shared memory I though I couldn't do anything about the Hardware allocated memory.
I did notice that the BIOS itself only showed 1024 MB of memory installed and saw that other people noticed their PCs reporting this too. (strange)
I decided to try a little Hardware tinkering. Here are the steps i did.
1. Turned off the Laptop, unplugged power (so i didn't get any nasty shock)
2. I Removed both RAM sticks just to see if their specs matched, which they did.
3. I tested one at a time to make sure they both worked, put one in, powered up the laptop to the BIOS and it reported the RAM being 1GB intalled, turned it off again, swapped out the memory with the second stick, booted to the BIOS and it reported at 1GB, so both RAM sticks were working. Laptop was plugged in during the power ups.
4. Put both sticks back in, screwed it back up and booted to the BIOS. It showed I now had the full 2GB installed. (thats better)
5. Booted back into Windows 7, went to the system properties and now showed the full 2GB usable.
6 Went to the Resource Monitor/Memory Tab and now shows all my memory installed with only 1MB used in Hardware Reserved instead of 1GB.
I'll keep an eye on it over the next week or so to see if the fix stays and doesn't revert back to the full gig used.
Hope this helps someone

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Tina Keller, Westminster College lecturer of education, and Dr. Rena Cornell Zito, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice studies, attended Bridges: An Israeli-American Faculty Collaboration Conference in May at Western Galilee College in Akko, Israel.
The Westminster and Western Galilee faculty have collaborated on research for five years and have taken turns hosting the Bridges workshop, providing opportunities for both of the institutions' faculty members to engage in formal and informal discussions to enrich their teaching and research.
During this year's conference, Keller led a roundtable discussion concerning education and religion. During the discussion, Keller introduced a survey she and her U.S. and Israeli colleagues created and plan to give to fifth-graders in diverse school settings in Israel and the United States. The roundtable participants, including Israeli faculty, gave feedback on the survey, made revisions, and brainstormed logistical challenges to conducting research in multiple languages and religion.
The survey was created by Keller, Dr. Amy Camardese, associate professor of education and department chair, and Dr. Randa Abbas from Western Galilee College and a visiting scholar in residence at Westminster for the 2013 Fall Semester.
Three Westminster students were also involved in the project:
Keller, who joined the faculty in 2012, earned an undergraduate degree in elementary education from Messiah College and a master's in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis in children's literature from Pennsylvania State University.
Contact Keller at 724-946-6034 or email for additional information.
Zito and Western Galilee College criminologist Hagit Turgeman presented on a preliminary quantitative research project titled "Family Instability, Family Conflict, and Delinquency among Former-Soviet Union (FSU) Immigrants." The research uses Dr. Turgeman's data on immigrant adolescents in Israel to analyze the influence of family turbulence on immigrant youth delinquency.
In addition to presenting her research, Zito met with several scholars interested in collaborating in classroom-based activities to increase cultural awareness among both Westminster and Western Galilee students.
"This will hopefully take the form of a cross-national, cross-classroom Skype or blog project in which students in Westminster College's "Minority-Majority Relations" course interact with students at Western Galilee College, home to an ethnically diverse student body," Zito said. "This will allow students from varied backgrounds to share their unique perspectives on ethnicity and minority-majority relations, and to reflect on how their perspectives shape and are shaped by local social and historical contexts."
Zito, who joined the faculty in 2012, earned her Ph.D. in sociology from North Carolina State University. She has published other research on families and youth behavior in the Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice, Sociological Perspectives, and the Journal of Marriage and Family.
Contact Zito at 724-946-6032 or email for additional information.
