Bill Santiago: Pardon My Spanglish Trailer (2011)
01 January 2011
It's been said Bill was born to Puerto Rican immigrants, which is technically untrue, as Puerto Ricans are US citizens, although he's got an uncle who was once deported to the Bronx. As a seasoned stand-up Comedian and now accomplished and published writer Bill Santiago takes a linguistic look at the New American language, "Spanglish" by dissecting words and sentences created through the fusion of two languages by the mere act of emotional intent or maybe just accident.
Watch the official Bill Santiago: Pardon My Spanglish 2011 trailer in HD below or find more Bill Santiago: Pardon My Spanglish videos on Vidimovie.

....just had a good date earlier where we did some making out, touching, licking lol before we got to the bed. Loved it.
Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe just nostalgic. In my younger days I just loved doing it on the couch. After a great date, being invited in, making out on the sofa, unbuttoning of clothes, and making love on the sofa. Remember those days? Now, it's straight to the bedroom. Oh, how I long for the good old days. My question is, are there any mature providers out there who would like to join me in reliving the past? Thanks in advance.
is always a blast
I love it on the sofa. clothes piling on the floor next to us as we kiss our way to nakedness? Oh yes....That funny little feeling as though at any time someone might pop in and catch us.. mmmm...I'd be all in for sure!xoxoJazz

Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, has announced the award of a £129m scheme to upgrade a 13.4 mile stretch of the M3 through Hampshire and Surrey to a "smart motorway". The upgrade, for the UK Government's Highways Agency, will increase capacity, reduce congestion and shorten journey times for the 120,000 motorists who pass through this part of the network every day.
The M3 between Junction 2 (interchange with the M25) and Junction 4a (Fleet) will be upgraded to a four-lane motorway by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent running lane. Electronic signs, operated by a regional control centre, will be installed to manage the flow of traffic in response to driving conditions.
Mobilisation work is due to start at the beginning of August. Main construction works is due to start this autumn with completion scheduled for spring 2017. Construction activity will include installing and refurbishing gantries, new static and variable signs, concrete safety barriers, drainage and surfacing works.
The contract is the latest in a series awarded to Balfour Beatty since the company was appointed to the Highways Agency's National Major Projects Framework in 2010. In June 2014, Balfour Beatty was awarded the £184m M60 J8 to M62 J20 smart motorway scheme. In April 2014 the company's construction joint venture with Skanska completed upgrading a 12 mile stretch of the M25 to a smart motorway, and in January 2014 Balfour Beatty completed upgrading parts of the M4 and M5 to a smart motorway in a £88m scheme.
Balfour Beatty executive chairman Steve Marshall said: "The Highways Agency's approach to using technology in this way reduces the costs of the road network, provides additional capacity and improves journey times. This award further strengthens our position as one of the UK's leading contractors for smart motorways and reflects the strength of the relationship we have built with the Highways Agency over the last 20 years. "
The M3 passes through Chobham Common, one of the largest areas of heathland in Surrey, and Balfour Beatty's sustainable design will take into account ecological considerations with natural habitats reinstated and enhanced.

[IMAGE]HSR.jpg[/IMAGE]To say that there is explosive interest in high-speed rail is near the heights of understatement. More than 250 applications for high-speed rail planning grants were submitted to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) since the program was launched this past summer. And California, despite its huge fiscal troubles, is well on its way to have the first truly world-class high-speed network in the U.S., the plans for which had been in development well before President Barack Obama even entered politics.
Both federal and state programs have taken more than a few pages from other countries' high-speed playbooks.
California: American model?
In late 2005, before it really had its own fleshed-out policy, the FRA approved the Golden State's program-level environmental report, the first ever for a high-speed rail project. The same year, the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) prepared and released its system implementation plan for building the high-speed train system in California, as well as a business plan for building and operating the service. It provided a multi-year schedule for all necessary activities in the project and also included a financing plan, identifying annual expenditures without committing to any sources of funding (though it was determined that state budget appropriations were a legitimate source). The business plan envisions roughly one-third of the estimated $40 billion budget coming from federal government sources, one-third from state funds and the remainder from private investors over a 20-year period. The first phase of the project, from Anaheim to San Francisco, is estimated to have a construction cost of $33 billion to $34 billion in 2008 dollars.
The next major milestones in the progress of Golden State high-speed rail, believed to be the largest infrastructure project in the state's history and possibly the largest in the country, are completion of the regional concept designs and environmental assessments. To manage that work, the CHSRA and Parsons Brinckerhoff, as its program manager, has divided the program into 10 regional sections and selected eight regional consultant teams, with several regional segments managed by the same team. From north to south the segments are: San Francisco to San Jose (HNTB Corporation); Altamont Corridor (AECOM); San Jose to Merced (Parsons Transportation Group); Merced to Sacramento and Merced to Fresno segments (AECOM Transportation); Fresno to Bakersfield (joint venture of Hatch Mott MacDonald, URS Corp. and ARUP with URS as lead); Bakersfield to Palmdale (same joint venture with URS as lead); Palmdale to Los Angeles (same joint venture with Hatch as lead); Los Angeles to Orange County (STV Inc.); and Los Angeles to San Diego (HNTB).
The function of each regional consultant is to provide the planning, environmental and engineering. The program manager's team reviews and confirms the work of the regional consulting teams to ensure consistency with established common standards. Once the state and regulatory authorities approve the design and environmental documents, the program management team will initiate procurement of design-build contracting teams that will finalize the design and construct the civil segments and systems, such as train control and traction power. Once the final design is under way, the program manager will begin the process of selecting an operator that could provide its own trains or operate those purchased in another contract, and will take the system into commissioning and start-up.
The first of these segments, between the Bay Area to the Central Valley, cleared a major hurdle this past fall, when the CHSRA formally approved the preferred alignment on this segment for the draft and final environmental documents to be filed with both state and federal authorities. It is expected that both the state Notice of Determination and federal environmental Record of Decision could be reached on this section by spring 2010.
In November 2008, the state's voters approved a $10 billion state bond issue. Federal and state safety regulators also gave a major boost last year when they approved, in principle, the CHSRA's planned process for seeking system regulatory approval, which was significant because at 220 mph California's system will be the fastest train service ever operated in America. Rights-of-way preservation has also begun.
In addition, this phase will involve the industry and regulators to develop a technical approach that takes advantage of international experience while adapting it to U.S. operating conditions and regulations. Regional transit authorities and freight operators must also be involved where there will be shared use of corridors. All this must culminate in state and federal regulatory approval before the project can proceed to construction.
Essential to the success of this phase is the support of political and civic leaders, and thus far the record has been encouraging. For the past nine years, the project had two governors who initially opposed it, then became supporters upon further investigation and involvement. Similarly, lukewarm legislative support for high-speed rail in California has steadily improved during the past decade; today, there is the broadest support for the project ever.
Feds mirror California
The plan in California broadly echoes the Obama Administration's vision announced last spring to build a network of high-speed rail lines across the U.S. As noted earlier, the administration's investment in high-speed and intercity passenger rail dwarfs that of any previous expenditure by several factors.
The first part of the new policy is the new commitment of spending never before seen in the U.S. on the mode. Eight billion dollars was included at White House insistence in the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, passed just weeks after Obama's inauguration. On top of that amount, the administration proposed another $5 billion over the next five years, the first billion of it for the coming fiscal year beginning this October.
The second part of the program is its ambitious goal: to "transform the nation's transportation system" by rebuilding existing intercity rail lines, initially, then investing in new world-class high-speed services in "100-mile to 600-mile corridors." The administration's models are the interstate highways and U.S. aviation system developed in the past century. Like the California high-speed project, cornerstones of the federal policy are a program of grants to states (and regional compacts) that meet minimum criteria.
The third and final leg of the fed's policy comprise the guidelines and standards for this federal assistance in the form of a strategic rail plan publicized less than two months after the stimulus bill was signed by Obama. Guidelines for potential recipients of the money have been issued, and first round grant awards are expected to be announced before the end of September, up to three years ahead of the schedule required by the law passed in February.
The first round of applications will focus on projects that can be completed quickly and, thus, can yield measurable job creation and other economic and environmental benefits. The next "track" will fund proposals for comprehensive high-speed programs like California's or for corridors or sections of corridors. Other funds will be provided for planning. FRA had identified ten major corridors previously, and these are likely to be given priority for funding. In addition to California's network, they include corridors/networks in the Pacific Northwest; Texas and the Southern Plains cities; the Gulf Coast; a large Chicago-based Midwest network; a Florida Corridor; another Southeast Corridor; a Keystone Corridor that includes Philadelphia, New York, and Pittsburgh; the Empire Corridor, which connects New York City with Albany and Buffalo; and a New England Corridor connecting Boston with Montreal. The FRA is also interested in improving the nation's only existing high-speed rail service in the Northeast Corridor with this program.
The new cars will begin arriving in the third quarter of 2020 and complete delivery by the first quarter of 2021.
The trains for SFMTA include features informed by public input including a new seating configuration, new interior color schemes, and new exterior design.

Many of the processes that have been demonstrated around efficiently: designing and refining curriculum, contributing / running staff meetings, making changes to job descriptions / hierarchies, responsibilities.
We will use your dedication to simplistic, beautiful, nourishing experiences to inspire a personal and program reflection on our current work, with the goal of revisiting our foundation and truth.
Structure and systems for garden and kitchen lessons. Garden content and we will be meeting as a team to determine which kitchen lessons to implement and perhaps adapt to the school culture and grade levels. Love the Edible Schoolyard content standards and philosophy.
Give our students more autonomy around gardening and cooking. More narrative-based lesson plans, handwritten recipes, more thoughtful and involved staff meetings, weaving our values into all that we do, slow down and ensure intentionality and purpose throughout.
Systems, systems, systems. The underlying structure for everything helps the focus remain on the kid-centered goals.


text: Poetry last year Share Tweet Pin Share As she's lays against the reused sheets she spreads hers legs and begins to weep.Feeling his heat she turns her head and lets the tears run down her cheek.Knowing her kids are home starving she moves her hips a little and pretends to moan.She's whispering quietly praying to god she can make this man explode.It's over.She swiftly puts on her cloths, goes home and looks in the mirror wondering why god tends to never hear her.She thinks "do you hear my cry for help? I feel like I'm alone dealing with these problems I have been dealt."She has no one to turn to, no place to run, she sees her best option and turns to a gun.Feeling like she lost, feeling like her kids would be better off, she puts the gun to her head and click click it didn't go off.She's in shock wondering if thats God's way to talk. Did he hear my cry for help? Did he stop me from harming myself?The tears begin to fade, the dark now the opposite of shade, her strength starts to regain.She feels something new running through her veins ready to face any pains.With a new outlook on life she kisses her kids and smiles bright knowing there's a better future in sight.-The Poet Moe

Time for introspection
Pakistan has now nearly had a haul of half decade with a GDP growth rate of below 5 percent. During the year ended June 30, 2012, Pakistan grew less than 4 percent and now in the second half of this year, the growth figures appear to be no better. Compare this growth with the average growth of about 6.50 percent during 2002 to 2007, and the change in country's fortunes, strictly in terms of growth and development, unfortunately, do not make a good read.
The decline is even sharper if we compare the present growth trend to the peak of 7.50 percent during the five years mentioned above.
While corruption and wrong prioritisation of resources by the government are factors surely to be blamed, a part of this slowdown is also attributed to the simple paralysis in decision-making from which the government never really recovered in its five-year term that is about to end, in March 2013. The role of its paralysis is corroborated by the sheer inaction on the energy front, which has resulted in a compounded slowdown in manufacturing.
Manufacturing as we know carries a highly elastic behaviour vis-à-vis governmental decision-making. While there is no real data available on the growth of the SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) over the last five years, the LSM (large-scale manufacturing) has been growing well below the GDP growth level, which means that in effect it has been shrinking. Sadly for Pakistan, the services sector, which in many ways is less directly dependent on governmental decision-making, also took a nosedive due to the prevailing concerns on security and the law and order situation in the country.
This being said, perhaps, the greatest across-the-board negative impact on growth has originated in severe monetary brakes applied on the private sector and this with either the collusion of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) or due to its sheer indifference to redressing the situation in a prudent and timely manner: either way, the action or the lack of it cannot be condoned.
The story of the private sector being crowded out is well known, but less well known is the fact that the SBP has been injecting liquidity into the banking sector with a targeted purpose of raising governmental debt and that share of private sector borrowing from its peak in 2004-05 has been reduced to less than one-fourth.
Adequate monetary growth provides the grease that oils the forward movement of a growing economy. While too much of it can make the aggregate demand run ahead of real incomes – thus, fuel inflation – too little of it can arrest, even cripple, the forward movement. Historically, the SBP maintained a relatively steady (close to double-digit or double-digit) annual growth in the monetary base, which determines the availability of credit in the economy.
In recent years, however, the squeeze has mainly been put on the private sector that continues to hold since the government appetite for debt is growing; whereas, its revenue raising resources are failing to keep pace with its spending budgets. This credit crunch, complemented by high fiscal deficits, has administered a double whammy on the private sector.
Traditionally, the SBP has set growth with macroeconomic stability as the objective of its policy. Lately, it has abandoned the growth objective altogether. And even with respect to the macroeconomic stability, it has chosen to focus (nearly obsessively) on just one, even if key, element in such stability: inflation.
Setting aside any exceptional year or a certain brief period in the history of Pakistan, inflation rates have never consistently been in the single digit range. Yet, the SBP and the economic team dealing with the international lending institutions tend to tame inflation in the Pakistani economic context to levels that are neither realistic nor keeping in line with our past trends.
Ironically, the SBP has had at best partial success in combating inflation due to its poor management in another key area: the external sector. In the early years when Pakistan adopted the flexible exchange rates, the practice of the SBP had been to intervene in the foreign exchange market to smoothen out short-run fluctuations, while leaning against excessive appreciation of the Pak Rupee in the longer term. That policy stance provided short-run exchange rate stability, while allowing the SBP to build up somewhat reasonable levels of foreign exchange reserves.
But every time a political dispensation has taken place (the current one being no exception), their actions have thrown caution to the wind and they generally adopted a kind of hands-off exchange rate policy, which sadly saw huge devaluations in the Pak Rupee's parity against the global currencies and a regular erosion of our dollar war chest from where we have not been able to recover.
These policies have not been without consequences for the economy. The gross external debt has rapidly climbed unprecedentedly in the last five years and now not just significantly exceeds the foreign exchange reserves, but, in fact, the gap is so huge that it seems that no real policy linkage can be established between the two figures. Or at least, the government certainly does not believe in linking these two.
Needless to say that this phenomenon of rising external debt, devaluing Pak Rupee and our failure to build up healthy foreign exchange reserves has left the Pak economy extremely vulnerable on the external front. In consequence, as things stand today, the ability of the SBP to credibly intervene in the foreign exchange market to stem Pak Rupee depreciation stands greatly compromised. So, the Pak Rupee has been going into this freefall with obvious consequences on inflation. A depreciating rupee means rising rupee prices of oil and other essential imports, even if their world prices did not rise.
A fiscally-strapped government has had no choice, but to pass on a large chunk of these price rises to the consumers or to the ordinary Pakistanis in an environment where they are already suffering because of the absence of any real growth and job creation in the economy. And unless there is change of heart at the SBP, this policy will take matters deeper into a vicious cycle, as it leaves the SBP with only one option if it is to keep on insisting on single-mindedly clamping down on inflation: a yet greater squeeze on the monetary base of the private sector and prolonging the misery of Pakistani people coming to an employable age, but finding, sadly, no jobs waiting for them in the market.
The art of begging
No subcontinental scene is complete without its complement of beggars and alms-seekers. While society considers beggars to be a scourge that spawns many ills including trafficking and crime, millions of people are inclined to encourage the practice by paying them. While I have always restrained myself from the practice, I have come to the conclusion that a vast majority of men, women and children that infest our roads and commercial areas are con artists with an amazing understanding of human psychology.
Take, for example, the 'shivering' routine. Motorists stopping at a traffic light on Jinnah Avenue are apt to see a tall emaciated individual who sells newspapers. He attracts immediate attention and pity by vigorous shivering, as if the freezing Islamabad weather is about to do him in. My daughter has on one occasion given him a brand new sweater she bought for her brother, only to discover that the individual had switched traffic lights and was 'shivering' away at his new spot minus the woolies.
Another intersection on Jinnah Avenue is home to a young man with 'half an arm'. The expression on his face is so pathetic that it incites an immediate urge to help him. I almost fell for his act, had not my driver, who appears to be quite knowledgeable with reference to roadside phenomenon, stopped me. What happened next was like a slapstick comedy – my man grabbed the beggars open shirt front and pulled it down over his shoulder, to reveal the remaining part of the arm, folded back and secured under the shirt sleeve. Needless to say that I saw the aggravated young man at other intersections after this incident, but he always took off when he recognised my driver.
I once saw a blind man miraculously recovering his eyesight in order to recover the money that slipped from his hand, as he accepted it from the motorist in front of me. On this occasion, I doubled up with mirth on the blooper committed by someone, who appeared to be either an apprentice or newly recruited to the 'begging' league.
One often saw a young woman dressed fairly decently as a college student on the Kashmir Highway – Seventh Avenue Intersection traffic signal in Islamabad. This great actress walked up to cars and spun a heartrending story of how she wanted to continue her studies, but couldn't, because her family was destitute. While I didn't buy her tear-jerking tale, many did. If only they had driven a few weeks later on the Main Gulberg Boulevard in Lahore, they would have seen the truth – for there was the same 'destitute student' plying her trade on the Main Market Intersection.
My son unlike me, is a softy as regards beggars and has suffered much on this account. One of his favourite experiences involves an innocent-looking young boy, who approached his car in Rawalpindi and amidst artfully administered sobs narrated the story of how his old sick mother lay in a one room hovel without a fan. Now it being the height of summer, the kind-hearted young man told this boy to sit in the car so that a fan could be purchased for the needy mother. The young con artist managed to squirm his way out of what could have been a poor deal and secured Rs 3,000 in cash from the victim. A few days later, my flesh and blood walked up to me in a state of great agitation. It turned out that the 'fan routine' had been enacted again with one of my nephews, who had compared notes with his cousin only to discover that two members from the same family had been skimmed of their hard earned money.
While I normally make a nasty face and subject beggars with an even nastier stare, my late mother had evolved a technique that worked every time a character walked up to her side of the window. She would cluck over the individual like a mother hen and then would ask him or her to sit in the car, so that a domestic job could be given to her at our house. Needless to say that ten out of ten times, the person hurriedly withdrew with sometimes furtive and sometimes angry looks.

EDITORIAL : For quality elections
Elections are too serious a matter to be left to the political parties alone. The Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP's) stance to rein in the candidates and parties through a stringent code of conduct has at least created a baseline for quality elections. The ECP has issued a laundry list to ensure violence- and corruption-free elections. Anything that could influence the results of the election is taken seriously into consideration and its limits specified to avoid rigging and violence. Those in high positions who will remain in office through the elections like the speakers, deputy speakers, governors, etc, would not be allowed to participate in election campaigning. Even the caretaker prime minister and chief ministers, not to mention the president, would be barred from taking part in electioneering. The right of voters to cast their vote for their desired representatives cannot be influenced either through intimidation or bribery. No public meeting would be allowed within 400 yards of any polling station. Any action leading to violence such as verbal abuse, aerial firing, wall chalking against opponents and instigatory remarks is prohibited. No loudspeakers will be allowed during campaigning except in public meetings. In short, every civilised democratic norm is included in the code of conduct. However, one area that has been left vague and needs definition as well as reckoning is the ideology of Pakistan touched upon by the ECP. According to the code, no one would be allowed to propagate any opinion or act in any manner prejudicial to the ideology of Pakistan, a restriction enshrined in Article 63(g) of the constitution. It would have been a great service to the nation had the ideology of Pakistan been finally defined by the ECP, since, right from the day of its inclusion in the constitution of Pakistan through the 8th Amendment, the terminology is waiting to be defined or elaborated. Unfortunately, Article 63 could not be amended while agreeing the 18th Amendment because of lack of consensus. Since its origin during General Yahya's tenure, the concept of the ideology of Pakistan remains undefined and lacking in substance, despite having done enormous damage for its myriad hyperbolic and Islam-centric interpretations. How an unsubstantiated and undefined category can earn respect or be adhered to, calls for a logical answer. If the ECP could put us wise on this, perhaps the country would be saved from further psychological and material destruction.
Another matter that needs the ECP's intervention is the stoppage of the dissemination of hate material done through seemingly innocuous means. This includes not only wall chalking (which has been banned by the ECP) but rickshaw advertisements that also require a complete ban on hate speech. A country right on the edge in terms of sectarian and ethnic strife, not to mention terrorism, requires caution and restraint applied on any act, verbal or written, that could destabilise the situation. Now that the ECP is preparing to stage the elections, it is imperative that the government announce the date of the election and the caretaker setup for the exercise. The sooner this is done the better, otherwise the way conspiracy theories are being spun, things could go wrong in the run up to the country's crucial tryst with destiny. It is time to lay to rest all the conspiracy theories, if not actual conspiracies to halt or even delay the elections. There is no other way to do this except forging agreement on a caretaker set-up and announcing the elections at the earliest possible. *
SECOND EDITORIAL : A family's suicide
In an act of tragic desperation, an unemployed
factory worker has killed himself and his entire family due to the demon of poverty and hunger. The 45-year-old Muhammad Qasim had been unemployed for about five months due to the factory where he worked being closed down because of the frequent gas and electricity load shedding. The factory was located in Faisalabad where many others have also been shut down due to the energy shortage, laying off hundreds of thousands of workers. Taking a gun, he shot dead his wife and five children in their sleep, turning the gun on himself in a final act of desperation. It has been estimated by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) that 1,600 people ended their lives due to mass poverty in 2011, with this number increasing in the following year. These suicides are the very last resort for those thousands upon thousands of people driven to the brink of complete deprivation because of unemployment, inflation and lack of basic facilities. That this particular incident, where one of the children was only a year old, is heartbreaking no doubt, but what is even sadder is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. With millions deprived and the gap between the rich and the poor widening every day, frustration, suicides and crime are all increasing.
While the government may have invested time and capital in pro-poor initiatives such as the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), which has been applauded by even the World Bank, such schemes do not reach every needy person from the massively stricken masses. The energy shortage is typically seen as bothersome, inconvenient and miserable, but this hardly highlights the mammoth unemployment that results because of it, in turn contributing to the deprivation and poverty prevalent in the country. The government's real fault lies in the fact that it has taken no steps towards fixing this major woe. Short-term measures such as the Rental Power Projects (RPPs) have been struck down and Independent Power Projects (IPPs) will be years in the making. Not much has been done by the authorities to kick-start any energy projects on a war footing. Our vast coal reserves, which promise to be a national treasure for this fuel-starved nation, remain untapped and alternative energy is still in the pilot stage. The collective suicide of this man's family should serve to wake up those who have the power to resolve the problem although, judging from the track record of the last five years, this seems a fond hope. A couple of years ago, a man set himself on fire in front of parliament to protest against the state of the country's poor and we stayed callous and aloof. This man and his innocent family may just have died in vain. *

display problems, please help
Hi guys, I am having a bit of trouble here. Everytime I try to run Rift, my computer display shuts off either instantly or after a few minutes, and then I am force to shut it down from the back, in which I then have to wait for awhile before I can turn my computer back on and get the display up and running again. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it my graphics card? Here it is, just incase it is it.
ATI Radeon HD 4250
I also have 4 gigs of ram and 3 gigahertz quad core processor. Thanks for any help guys
edit: Now it keeps happening whether I run a game or not, I can simply be browsing or on here and it shuts off randomly :S I don't know what the problem is at all... All I know is before I tried running rift everything was working fine, please guys, I could really use some help :\
also, I just bought the computer two days ago... so I don't know what the problem is

Make sure you have the latest Display driver from the ATI Support Downloads webpage for your model.
Try updating DirectX: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3
If this fails, try installing the game in the recommended Compatibility Mode

yeah, I've downloaded both the latest driver and direct x, im not to concerned about running the game anymore and more about keeping my computer up and running instead of constantly having to look at a blank screen :\
|My System Specs
|18 May 2011
Sometimes it's the latest driver which is the problem, and is solved by choosing an earlier driver which is more stable for your system. Installing or uninstalling the full display software package can also help.
These can include the drivers given by optional Windows Updates, the Support Downloads webpage for your computer model or display model, or drivers stored and accessible via Device Manager>Device>Update Drivers>Browse>Choose.

Is there corruption or are their other issues which make you think reinstalling would help? Reinstalling can solve most problems, and gives a truly fresh start. Here's how to get a perfect reinstall: Reinstalling Windows 7
However first make sure it isn't a bad driver or logged issue which can be traced using Win7 troubleshooting steps

Thanks a lot for the help friend, I am currently installing an older driver to see if that keeps it alive, if not I will try the windows repair install and last but not least a clean install to see if that will finally solve my problem. If it persist, I guess I will have to take it back to the store and get my money back :\ Thank god for a seven day return policy

September 2014 - Picture of the Month
NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus
Image Courtesy of David Davies, Cambridge, UK. Please click on the image for the high resolution version.
For more images from David please visit his Flickr Photostream.
It's been a little while since I've shared anything from the deep sky. I managed to be away during several of the clear nights we've had recently.
My observatory was completed just over one year ago and the first object I observed from it was the Crescent Nebula. It seemed fitting to return to it this year and see if I could do any better.
So I've spent several nights during August (17, 28 and 31) gathering narrow band data on the Crescent Nebula and further time learning how to process narrow band images. The attached is the result.
I now have the benefit of automatic focussing which is helping I think by enabling me to refocus by remote control during the night. I'm using a Lakeside focus motor and the Scopefocus application from Kevin Sipprell in the US that works with my image capture software, Nebulosity.
Viewing conditions were almost universally poor with poor transparency and high thin cloud. This image comprises 100 minutes of H-alpha and 200 minutes of OIII data in 20 minute subs, five hours in total, captured with a 254mm Newtonian and QSI 583 camera equipped with 3nm Astrodon filters.
Processing was done in Pixinsight where H-alpha was assigned to red, OIII to blue and a synthetic green was generated using 85% blue and 15% red. I did try to combine the H-alpha and OIII with a normal green image and the result was just awful.
I'm fascinated by this object. The great bubbles of OIII extend well beyond the normally visible object and are also evident throughout its internal structure.
I'm continuing to capture RGB data and it would be interesting to see if I can combine the RGB and narrow band data in the future.

DAILYKENN.com -- It's International Woman's Day.
March 8 is a day stipulated by the globalist community to underscore the victimization of women and demonize white males.
Few, however, seem to notice. Not even Google graced us with a politically correct imagery.
Kenn interviews Colin Flaherty
We thought we'd break with the cultural Marxism trend of dividing people into victims vs villains (proletariat vs bourgeois), and focus on reality.
Below is a list of female inventors and the innovations that enhance our lives:
• Mary Anderson invented the windshield wiper in 1903.
• Barbara Askins was a chemist and NASA scientist who invented an enhanced film development process using radioactive materials.
• Patricia Billings invented Geobond®, a building material that is indestructible, fire-proof and non-toxic.
• Marion Donovan invented disposable diapers.
• Sally Fox invented Foxfibre Colored Cotton.
• Bette Nesmith Graham invented white out; a correction fluid used extensively when typewriters were king. She is the mother of rock-roller Michael Nesmith of the Monkees.
• Dr. Temple Grandin was born with autism, a fact that may have lent itself to her inventions: Behavioral principles to control animals.
• Ruth Handler invented the Barbie Doll.
• Dr. Grace Murray Hopper invented COBOL computer language.
• Mary Phelps Jacob invented the modern brassiere.
• Margaret Knight invented a machine that made paper bags with flat bottoms.
• Stephanie Kwolek was a chemist who invented Kevlar®, a synthetic material that is five times stronger than steel.
• Hedy Lamarr was a noted actress and co-inventor of Spread Spectrum Technology that prevented classified messages from being intercepted by enemy personnel. Her invention made cell phones possible.
• Ann Moore invented the Snugli® Baby Carrier.
• Lyda Newman didn't invent the hair brush, but she did invent a markable improvement: the first hairbrush with synthetic bristles.
• Dr. Giuliana Tesoro's 125 inventions enhanced our lives through the field of fiber and textile chemistry.
• Ruth Wakefield invented the chocolate chip cookie.
• Rachel Zimmerman invented the Blissymbol Printer that allowed people with limited verbal communication skills to communicate through symbols.
We would like to note that all the afore mentioned women are/were white, but that could garner accusations of racism or implications of bias, so we'll pretend not to notice.

TYLER (KYTX) - It's been more than a month since the Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority banned bicycles on Loop 49.
Bicyclists can now be ticketed for riding on the toll road. The toll road was the preferred biking path for many East Texas bicyclists.
Tuesday night, about 50 bicyclists rolled out from the Elite Bicycle Shop in Tyler to participate in a 30 mile recreational ride around East Texas.
"It's more of a key way to go ride and be safe," said Joe Self, Shop Manager.
It's always easier for drivers to see bicyclist in large numbers. They wear bright colors and use lights to make sure they're seen.
"We'll also be able to talk with each other to ride safely when we are in smaller groups," added Self.
When signs went up on Loop 49 in July banning cyclists, they knew they had to come up with another idea to enjoy their hobby and be safe.
"If you're not watching where you're going, or not looking or texting, that can be a major issue for people on a bicycle like myself," said Brad Young.
Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorist when they're on the road. It's important for both groups to be aware of the other.
"Situational awareness is very, very important," explained Self.
Statistics show more than 600 bicyclists die in the United States in traffic accidents every year.
Peltier Subaru provided cyclists with food and music Tuesday night. They also handed out jerseys to bicyclists.

Yes, the Mantis 1 x 2 Fly light is permissible to use in food handling areas since it catches flies on glue boards and does not electrocute them. Easy clean up and no fly parts.

RORY McIlroy has begun his Open preparations early in an attempt to turn his latest frustrations to his advantage.
The world number four has been dogged by form and fitness issues this year and he heads into the Open at Royal Birkdale this week after missing three cuts in his last four events.
His latest setback came as he was eliminated prematurely at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open on Friday.
In an attempt to make the most of a difficult situation, the Northern Irishman has used his unplanned free weekend to travel to the Southport links early for extra practice.
The 28-year-old said: "Look, I'd still like to be up in Scotland playing, of course, but if it gives me a couple of extra days to learn this golf course then I don't really mind.
"I am excited. It is the Open championship, one of the biggest events of the year. I feel like my game is not far away. I feel like over the next few days I can get a bit of work in and be ready to go on Thursday."
The Open has brought the best out of McIlroy in the past, most obviously the last time the event was held on Merseyside three years ago, when he won by two strokes at Royal Liverpool.
He said: "To get the win in 2014 and get my name on the Claret Jug was a huge step in my career, and a huge step in me feeling a complete player.
"It was the third leg of the grand slam — I'm still waiting for the fourth one — but I love the Open, I love the fans.
"I love that it's Sunday and there are a few people following me already. It's always a week I look forward to."
McIlroy's game has been hampered by rib and back problems this year. He is now playing pain-free, but admits his issues are not fully resolved.
He said: "I am feeling okay, but it is something I am going to have to manage until the end of the year.
"It is good enough to play, it is good enough to practise a little bit. I hit balls for an hour-and-a-half last night, but then felt stiff and said, 'That's enough'. But at least I know when enough is.
"I am just going to manage the load for the rest of the season, then I am just going to have a nice rest period when I don't have to touch a club and let it heal. Then hopefully I'll be 100 per cent for next year.
"It's not as if I'm far off now, but it is just something I have to be mindful of for now."
Meanwhile, Danny Willett, another player plagued by injury troubles, has admitted he may need painkillers to get him through next week's Open.
The 2016 Masters champion has pulled out of three of his last five events due to a back injury, including last month's US Open and the Irish Open just over a week ago.
The 29-year-old Yorkshireman said: "We've had a full week off resting with the back, so we'll see.
"We've just played 18 and it'd didn't feel too bad. I'll play nine in the next couple of days and hopefully it'll be all right. It's the Open Championship. You need to come here, even if you have to get a few drugs inside you to get through the week."

text: PDVSA Weston Businessman Pleads Guilty To Venezuela Bribes By Peter Haden • Jan 13, 2017 Fernando Llano / AP A Broward County businessman is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty Wednesday in Houston for bribing officials at Venezuela's state oil company. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Houston says Weston resident Juan José Hernández Comerma conspired with his business partner, Abraham José Shiera Bastidas, to bribe executives at the Venezuelan oil giant Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. – or PDVSA. Look West, Miami, At Mexico's Epic Oil Reform By Tim Padgett • Dec 13, 2013 Flickr When it comes to Latin American oil, South Florida's attention seems exclusively fixed on South America. We focus on petro-titans like Venezuela and Brazil because we do so much trade with and receive so many immigrants from that region. But this week it was hard not to look west – across the Gulf of Mexico, at one of the most important oil reforms in almost a century. Late Wednesday night, Mexico's Congress approved President Enrique Peña Nieto's plan to allow private and foreign participation in the country's state-run oil industry for the first time in 75 years.

We've all heard about drivers using blowup dolls and dummies to make use of the HOV lanes on the DVP and Gardiner Expressway in recent times.
But what about a giant Donald Trump head? That's what happened in Seattle on Tuesday.
A Washington State Patrol trooper pulled over a vehicle with a cardboard cutout of the US Presidential candidate's head stuck to the passenger seat headrest. The motorist was in the carpool lane on Highway 167 just south of the city.
Washington State Patrol spokesman Rick Johnson says people try to be funny now and then, and they have seen it all, from teddy bears to mannequins sitting alongside drivers.
Despite the sense of humour, this driver was still fined $136 US.

Outdoor Recreation Planning and Development
UACED provides project support and technical assistance to local governments and non-profit organizations working to establish non-motorized multi-use recreational trails in communities in communities across Alabama. Assistance includes project feasibility evaluation, organization and strategy, real estate acquisition, identification and coordination of public and private partners, public communications, site master planning, and fundraising.
Alabama Recreation Trails Website
In cooperation with the Alabama Trails Commission UACED released the Alabama Recreation Trails website at www.alabamarecreationtrails.org in August 2015 as the primary online trail information source in Alabama. This site enables the public to search for Alabama trails based upon trail use type and amenities, to find locally owned outfitters, equipment suppliers, and lodging, and to connect to existing recreational organizations. The site also provides technical information for use by local governments, planners, nonprofit organizations, and citizens interested in creating trails in their communities. UACED worked with the University of Alabama Enterprise Integration Lab (faculty/ 5 student team) to develop the site and UACED staff researched and developed the content.
Recreational Trails Inventory
There currently exists no comprehensive inventory of recreational trails for Alabama to aid in public awareness and recreation planning, so as part of the development of the Alabama Recreation Trails website, UACED is compiling a comprehensive spatial database of all recreational trail facilities in our state. We are soliciting information from local, state, and federal trail operators, capturing the features and amenities associated with each of these trails. As these records are completed, we are uploading them to the Alabama Recreation Trails website for public use when searching for trails.
Alabama Recreational Trails Leadership Workshops
In support of the Alabama Trails Commission, UACED coordinates and holds the Alabama Recreational Trails Leadership Workshop series. Targeted to local, state, and federal government agencies, planning organizations, and nonprofit user groups, these workshops provide important information about planning and implementing trail projects to create valuable assets for Alabama communities.
Cahaba Blueway Initiative
The Cahaba is one of the most biologically diverse and beautiful rivers in North America, and it has tremendous potential to become a broadly valued local recreational asset and a nationally recognized ecotourism destination. The Cahaba Blueway initiative of The University of Alabama Center for Economic Development (UACED) is designed to remove the informational and physical barriers that currently prevent people from experiencing the Cahaba, and create a program that will draw people to the river from near and far. >More
S.W. Taylor Overlook
UACED is working with Tri-County Trail Riders and the Sumter County Commission to facilitate the redevelopment and operation of a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers park overlooking the Tombigbee River that has been closed to the public for 20 years. As a well-established and active African-American equestrian education and outreach group, Tri-County Trail Riders will operate the S. W. Taylor Overlook as a horsemanship facility open to the public for horseback riding instruction and pleasure riding, and will provide resident full-time staffing of the facility, which will once again enable the park to operate. UACED has assisted Tri-County Trail Riders in securing their 501(c)3 tax exempt status and has facilitated the development of a conceptual plan for new facilities at S. W. Taylor Overlook. Currently, we are working with Tri-County Trail Riders and Sumter County officials to develop a formal master plan for new resident caretaker, camping, and equestrian facilities on the site, and will assist Tri-County Trail Riders in moving through the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' regulatory documentation and review process. Once approval is secured, UACED will work with Tri-County Trail Riders and Sumter County to identify and secure the financial resources to build the improvements.

Comments about HP C6602A Black Ink Cartridge:
We just purchased 2 Scanners from Kodak - the model i1860. We could not find the ink cartridges that were sent with the scanners, so I ordered some from this company. They did call to verify the address before shipping - probably because the shipping address was different from the billing address.
They arrived several days later. I would purchase products from this company again.

- Source: eBay UK
This beautiful candelabra has been in our house in france for years,now its time for a change. I think the arms and base are cast from bronze .and the rest is in polished marble or could be onyx (i am not really sure)The cast base has quite a lot of details on it and those details are continued on the fret work and arms.It has 4 arms with a candle holder on each plus there is a further holder in the centre.It is in very good condition without any damage to the castings or marble work. It stands 45 cms tall and has a spread of 30cms. I would think that this candelabra dates back to the art nouveau/deco period. It has been used over the years and still has traces of candle wax on it so it would benefit from a good clean and polish .,but it still is a great centre piece for the dinning or hall table. Carriage by 2nd class mail at £5.95. A low start price for a good but useful antique.

I just found out that Andrew Dietz, author of The Last Folk Hero, is at Folk Fest in Atlanta right now signing copies of his book.
Back in June, I wrote about TLFH – if you have the chance, definitely get it. If you're anywhere close to Atlanta, this weekend is a great opportunity to see the work of many of the people in the book, and to meet the author and get a signed copy.
The AJC has another article about Folk Fest here and here (where they mention that there will be no new works by either Mose T or Jimmy Lee Sudduth shown this year). This article mentions the market value of the two artists' work.


text: Crystal Foust, Zeborah Massenburg, and Charity Taylor are young women, anointed and called by God to sing His inspirational message to the world. They understand and demonstrate what it means to be 'Sacred' unto God through their music and talented gifts. Beginning at tender ages (3 to 5)in Richmond, Virginia, they have sung together for more than twenty years. In the year 2000, the official group name SACRED was formed. Sacred has exclusively worked with producers Terence 'BIG PLANZ' Thompson and Shawn Peterson. You can hear their melodious voices on recorded projects along with 'American Idol' Elliot Yamin (BIG PLANZ: SOUND DOCTRINE), Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship Choir, and they also released a Debut Project in 2003. As PKs (preachers' kids) these young ladies have experienced the highs and lows of spiritual leadership, but will continue to forge the way in creating a greater melodious, harmonic sound for His glory. Crystal's heart: 'God, I thank you for keeping, guiding, and using me so that I may minister to others.' Zeborah's heart: 'God, thank you for allowing me to be among the chosen to minister, and to be a vessel used to bring healing and deliverance.' Charity's heart: 'I thank you, Lord, for you are the force in which my talent lies. YOU ARE WONDERFUL and no one can take credit for things that only you can do.'

Asthma is a disease of the airways and identifying its symptoms is of crucial importance for its treatment. According to Aino, who has suffered from asthma from a young age, the illness will not prevent you from living a normal life and it should not stop you from doing the things you want to do.
Noise anxiety is a common phobia among dogs. Treatment should always be targeted as a dog's behavior may be caused by a variety of reasons.
Finding out that you have Parkinson's disease is a shock, but the right kind of medication and various survival techniques will help keep the illness under control. Timo was 48 when he found out that he had Parkinson's disease.
When a close relative is diagnosed with dementia it may come as a shock. When journalist Hanna Jensen's 74-year-old father was diagnosed with dementia, she became his carer at the age of 39.

There's no doubt that reminding yourself to catch a few big breaths per lap can help you maintain your speed, especially when you starting to push the pace. But as Kevin Windham illustrated last weekend when a dirt clod caught in his throat caused him to vomit during the first moto, eating too much roost can have negative consequences on your results.
Of course some of the more popular methods of dodging roost include ducking down behind your visor, turning your head to the side, or using a roost deflector on the front of your helmet.
One tip used by mountain bikers in areas with lots of bugs (and if you've ever sucked down a bug, you know how unpleasant that experience can be) is to use your top lip to overlap your bottom lip. That way you can still breathe normally, but you eliminate a direct route to your throat and lungs.
