BOSTON — The Boston Bruins added veteran depth to their young defense corps by trading for Andrej Meszaros and obtaining Corey Potter on waivers Wednesday.
The Bruins got Meszaros, 28, from the Philadelphia Flyers for a 2014 third-round draft choice that becomes a second-rounder if the Bruins reach the Eastern Conference finals and he plays in two-thirds of their playoff games. They claimed Potter, 30, from the Edmonton Oilers.
Both have been frequent healthy scratches this season but bring experience to a group of defensemen that includes four players who have been in fewer than 90 NHL games.
"We acquired these two players for depth," Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said, "and when I say for depth, I just want to be clear, it doesn't mean that they're just reserves. It means I look at our defensive corps as a whole, and we're just bolstering that corps and we've got a lot of games in a short period of time."
The Bruins announced the moves two hours after the 3 p.m. EST trade deadline.
Boston had been seeking a veteran defenseman after Dennis Seidenberg suffered a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 27 against Ottawa. They've also been without defenseman Adam McQuaid since he strained his quadriceps on Jan. 19. Without them, Dougie Hamilton, Torey Krug, Matt Bartkowski and Kevin Miller, all 26 or younger, have played regularly. Zdeno Chara and Johnny Boychuk are the other two defensemen among Boston's top six.
Chiarelli said McQuaid would rest for two to three weeks and be re-assessed then.
Meszaros played 38 games this season with five goals and 12 assists. The nine-year veteran's first two seasons with the Flyers were limited by a back injury in 2011-12, Achilles tendon surgery after that season and a shoulder injury in 2012-13.
"It was tough with the injuries, but being healthy this year and not playing was really tough," he said. "Now I feel strong and I feel pretty good. I can skate pretty good and join the rush and obviously have to be good defensively."
Potter, a six-year veteran, has five assists in 16 games.
"We brought in two guys, two big guys that can … both move the puck and both push bodies down low," Chiarelli said. "The defense isn't about one player. It's about the group as a whole and how they interact. That's the way our system is. That's the way our coach is. So these guys both are smart players.
"It usually takes some time for the (defensemen) to adapt to our system, new (defensemen) that were brought in. And I expect the same to happen with these two, but it's a good system, it's a system of trust, and I know they can both contribute to the group."
The Bruins, in second place in the Eastern Conference, have allowed 138 goals this season, second-fewest in the NHL. But their defense has declined since losing Seidenberg and McQuaid.
While Boston made no major moves, one of its chief rivals did. The Montreal Canadiens obtained wing Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round draft pick from the New York Islanders for forward prospect Sebastien Collberg and a conditional 2014 second-rounder. The draft picks will only change hands if Montreal makes the playoffs.
Vanek has 30 goals in 53 games against Boston.
"I know there's been talk about Vanek going to Montreal, and they've strengthened their team. Good for them," Chiarelli said. "It never seems that we're an anointed winner of trade deadline day, and I'm fine with that."

I've been wanting to try my hand at making Phil's 100% Whole Wheat Desem bread since it sounded so simple but yet so good. I had started preparing the Desem starter a while ago but had to abandon it when I went away for business. I was not thrilled with the way it was turning out anyway so it wasn't a great loss.
I decided to try a different approach for building the starter from my 100% AP White Starter by doing a 3 stage build. For the first build I used 50 grams of seed starter, 125 grams Bread Flour (KAF), 75 grams Organic Whole Wheat Flour and 200 grams of water. I mixed this up and left it out at room temperature overnight for around 10 hours. I then put it in the refrigerator until that evening when I proceeded to stage 2. I added 142 grams of Whole Wheat, and 85.4 grams of Water. I left this out again overnight and put it in the refrigerator until the next evening.
For the third and final build I added another 142 grams of Whole Wheat and 85 grams of water. I left this out for one more evening and refrigerated it until that evening when I prepared the final dough.
I ended up making a lot more starter than I needed, but it was worth building it up to around 61% hydration as the starter was nice and fruity and ready to go to work!
Please see Phil's original recipe for the formula and his original procedures here http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/27999/honest-bread-100-wholewheat-desem-bread-and-some-country-bread. I decided to change his procedures by using my Bosche Mixer as follows:
After the flour autolyes for 1 hour I added the levain and mixed on speed #1 for 1 minute and #2 for 4 minutes. I then did a stretch and fold, rested the dough uncovered for 10 minutes. I then did another stretch and fold, covered the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes. I did one more stretch and fold and put it in a lightly oiled bowl for 2 hours. I then put it in the fridge overnight.
The next day I let the dough sit out at room temperature for 2 hours. After 2 hours I formed it into loaves and put them in floured bannetons and let them rise covered for 2 hours.
I then baked on my oven stone with steam at 450 degrees until both loaves were golden brown and reached an internal temperature of 200 – 210 degrees F.
The dough lived up to all of its good press and had a nice slightly sour/sweet taste. I have been eating it all week and it makes great toast!
This bread has been submitted to Yeast Spotting here at http://www.wildyeastblog.com/

Gov. Deval Patrick released his budget for Fiscal 2015 on Jan. 22. Deputy Commissioner Cliff Robinson from the Department of Mental Health in Boston made the trek to Taunton the following day. Robinson announced the Patrick Administration's "re-allocation" of mental health resources on Thursday, Jan. 23 to Taunton State Hospital's staff.
The plan includes the transfer of the remaining 45 patients from TSH to The Worcester Recovery and Wellness Center. Patrick intends to develop five respite centers for psychiatric patients in local inner cities and suggested that displaced state workers would be absorbed into the new "reallocation" of mental health care services. The DMH intends to maintain the census of 626 state funded mental health care in-patient beds. The governor's model is to decrease in-patient stays and place clients into the community. Robinson failed to address questions of availability and access to mental health care services by the most chronic and difficult patients currently receiving services at TSH.
There have been a number of tragic school shootings and other public acts of violence that have transpired over the past two years. After each horrific and tragic event the general public has responded by suggesting better access to increased mental health care services and earlier intervention of care and treatment.
Patrick's administration has responded to public outcry by attempting to shutter Taunton State Hospital. He has eliminated forensic psychiatric services in the southeastern Massachusetts area. Clinicians specializing in this cutting edge and advant garde treatment have left Taunton to practice psychiatry in other state hospitals that are not currently being "picked on" by Patrick. None is practicing in forensic psychiatry.
Taunton State Hospital's forensic services provided care and treatment to 25 patients sent to the units by the court system. A review of cases treated by TSH's forensic care services indicates that patients once treated by these units have been rerouted into incarceration subsequent to their care and release from Taunton State Hospital. As a forensic patient of TSH, I kept detailed, comprehensive notes and documentation of my experience on Chambers II South, the Forensic Unit.
I have followed the care of my fellow patients by monitoring their subsequent arrest records published over the Internet. I expressed concern that patients will be incarcerated and resituated in squalid homeless campsites when I spoke at the First Parish Church and the Gardner Auditorium of the Statehouse in 2012. My projection has been realized two years after Patrick's initial decision to downsize Taunton State Hospital.
Taunton provides care and treatment to the most difficult patients. Clients present with compound psychiatric illness as defined by the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), sociopathy under the auspices of the discipline of criminology and intellectual deficits resulting in developmental disabilities. Many of Taunton's patients also suffer from physical disabilities affecting motor function. There are a number of patients treated that have committed infanticide, child molestation and sexual assault. This hardly runs the gamut of violent offenses seen at Taunton State Hospital. A mature and reasonable approach from the Department of Mental Health is indicated. Patients with such compound and complicated psychological presentation cannot be effectively treated by community based services.
TSH could best be utilized by reopening forensic services and providing continuing care services to such patients. Harm reduction theory, as suggested by sociologist Edith Springer, could be realized if older buildings were renovated to provide housing to patients graduating from the Department of Corrections and the forensic units. Training and education could be made available to ex-convicts with narcotic afflictions and non-violent offenses.
Taunton needs to take on the most difficult challenges and provide services to the sickest among us. My co-patients had achieved optimum wellness when discharged from TSH and were deemed no longer dangerous by clinicians specializing in forensic services. I saw the miracles myself. Their prognosis was short-lived. Patients discharged from the forensic unit were sent back into the community with insufficient support and lack of availability of specialized forensic care.
It's time for the voting public and taxpaying citizens to demand more, not less of such psychiatric services. It's time to reopen forensic psychiatric services at Taunton State Hospital and expand, not eliminate such efforts. The world would truly be a better place and a safer place if these issues were addressed and treated rather than ignored and eliminated. The end result is paramount. We need to ensure protection of our progeny and restore hope for those once thought to be hopeless.
Mary Clements, RN, of Taunton, is a former patient of Taunton State Hospital.

Connecticut: No suitable space for immigrant kids
HARTFORD >> Connecticut officials responded Friday to concerns about the state rejecting a federal request to temporarily house up to 2,000 immigrant children from Central America at a mostly vacant facility, saying no properties met the federal government's criteria.
In a letter released Friday, the governor's chief of staff, Mark Ojakian, said the U.S. General Services Administration and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reached out to the state on July 3, seeking facilities with at least 90,000 square feet of open space for immediate use. The buildings would have to comply with federal environmental and Americans with Disabilities Act standards, with additional outdoor space for trailers holding showers, restrooms and kitchens.
But Ojakian said the state's Office of Policy and Management determined the Southbury Training School and other vacant state properties were inadequate.
"The decision OPM made was based on a factual review of state assets weighed against a list of specific criteria, including urgent time constraints," Ojakian wrote in a letter to state Rep. Juan Candelaria, chairman of the General Assembly's Black and Latino Caucus. "The state of Connecticut simply does not own appropriate facilities that can accommodate these needs."
Thousands of children from Central America have been crossing the Mexican border into the U.S. illegally and without their parents. The U.S. has been urging the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to take steps to stem the exodus of children. The volume of child immigrants has prompted President Barack Obama to ask Congress to approve an emergency $3.7 billion spending bill to deal with the "urgent humanitarian crisis."
Ojakian said OPM Secretary Benjamin Barnes and Department of Children and Families Commissioner Joette Katz are working with federal authorities to match some of the thousands of children with family members living in the state. Also, the administration is working with the federal government to help families that want to house some of the children temporarily.
On Thursday, Candelaria sent a letter to Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy asking him to reconsider housing the children, saying it's "not the time to point fingers or wait for Congress" to deal with the problem.
"We understand your concerns with the Southbury Training School and do not pretend to minimize them," Candelaria said. "However, we cannot keep our arms crossed while these detention centers continue to overflow and these children suffer in the direst of conditions through no fault of their own."
During a Republican gubernatorial primary debate on Thursday, the GOP's endorsed candidate, Tom Foley, accused Malloy of deciding too quickly not to house the children. Senate Minority Leader John McKinney said the decision was out of character for Malloy, who has supported driver's licenses and in-state tuition for immigrants living in the country without legal permission.
On Friday U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he hopes he can meet with Malloy to talk about the immigration issues when he returns from a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I look forward to sitting down with the governor and his administration so I can give him the insight that I have gained," Blumenthal told CT News Junkie.

NY Cracksdown on Driving and Cellphone Use
4.22.13 7:05am
New York troopers crackdown on calling and texting
Troopers will be stepping up patrols on the New York Thruway to nab motorists using cellphones while driving.
State Police Troop T says "Operation Hang Up" will kick in Monday and continue through next Sunday. Police say texting or talking on mobile devices continue to be growing problems despite the clear hazards.
Cell phone use and texting are responsible for a significant proportion of traffic crashes, injuries and deaths. Troop T issued 150,000 tickets last year, approximately 4,664 of which were for cell phone violations.

STAMFORD, Conn. – Taped to a wall at the entrance to the Connecticut Film Center in Stamford is this greeting: "Welcome (back) to Pine Valley."
Pine Valley, of course, is the mythical setting of "All My Children," a daytime drama that ran on ABC for nearly 41 years until it was snuffed in 2011.
But now, in one of those plot twists so common to soap operas but so rare in the real world, "All My Children" has been raised from the dead.
Was its cancellation just a bad dream, from which the show is now awakening? In any case, "AMC" will be back starting Monday with much of its august cast intact (including David Canary, Julia Barr, Jill Larson, Debbi Morgan and Cady McClain, and perhaps even Susan Lucci eventually returning to the fold), along with shiny new actors to add more pizazz.
But this time, "AMC" will not be on a broadcast network. It will be online.
So will "One Life to Live," another venerable soap cut down by ABC after 44 seasons. It, too, will spring back to life on Monday. (Welcome back to Llanview, everybody!) Returning fan favourites include Erika Slezak, Robert S. Woods, Robin Strasser and Hillary B. Smith, each of whom has logged decades on the show.
Each serial will unveil four daily half-hours per week, plus a recap/behind-the-scenes episode on Fridays, with 42 weeks of original programming promised for the first year.
They will be available for streaming on computers on the Hulu website. Subscribers to Hulu Plus can watch on a variety of other devices. And the episodes will be available for purchase on iTunes.
This resurrection could reverse the doomsday plot that has plagued soaps for decades as their viewership withered and their numbers sank (there are only four left on the broadcast networks; there were a dozen in 1991).
And it is somehow fitting that TV's oldest genre, carried over from radio, should now be making the transition to a 21st-century online platform complete with Agnes Nixon, who created both shows, as a digital pioneer. It's a potentially restorative move that could prove the TV medium failed soaps, not the other way around.
Reflecting a new age of viewing patterns and business strategy, "AMC" and "OLTL" will be the first offerings of The Online Network, an ad-supported outlet for first-run entertainment delivered online.
"What better way to start than with two shows that have been watched by fanatical fans for as much as 40 years?" says Rich Frank, a partner of Prospect Park studios, which owns The Online Network.
He notes that even as ABC pronounced death for these two soaps, "AMC" was averaging 3.2 million viewers a day and "OLTL" had 3.8 million viewers. He sets the threshold of success for his new venture at "a very conservative percentage" of that broadcast audience.
"Being online is going to draw people in," predicts Jennifer Pepperman, "OLTL" executive producer. "You can click on it and watch it any time you like."
Meanwhile, the drama will adapt to its new medium.
"We don't want to totally reinvent the wheel, but we want to make the wheel turn better and turn quicker," Pepperman says.
"AMC" executive producer Ginger Smith echoes Pepperman from her office a few steps away at the just-moved-in-looking, bustling headquarters the two shows share.
"We want to keep the core," says Smith, who has risen on "AMC" from production assistant in 1988. "I still want escapism and romance, but we're going to have stories that are sometimes a little darker and edgier than we did on ABC."
As she is speaking, "AMC" is wrapping its first weeks in front of the cameras. Then "OLTL" takes over the 27,000-square-foot soundstage to start production. In this back-and-forth arrangement, each series will tape 210 episodes in the year ahead.
"But these are not webisodes," Frank says. "We are shooting television as everyone knows it. This is traditional TV storytelling distributed a different way — and it's a superior way."
Frank is a veteran entertainment exec who headed The Walt Disney Studios and served as president of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. With his Prospect Park partner Jeff Kwatinetz, he produces TV series including USA network's "Royal Pains" and FX's "Wilfred."
But even as their company was doing business with traditional networks, Frank envisioned an online network delivering content to devices not limited to TV, and sidestepping traditional cable delivery.
Then ABC cancelled those two soaps.
"They fell into our lap," says Frank, though minimizing the lengthy process of licensing them.
"These two shows come with 40 years of advertiser relationships and a die-hard fan base," says Kwatinetz from across the partners desk he and Frank occupy in their shared corner office.
Kwatinetz's resume includes running The Firm, a talent management company whose clients included the Backstreet Boys, Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Clarkson.
"I saw the digital revolution coming in the music business," he says, "and now, in television, it feels the same. My experience in the entertainment business tells me that what people want more than anything is convenience. Now television, by going online, is so much more convenient."
So everything old is new again, and the fundamentals still apply: These two shows have retained a most profound link with soaps' glorious past: Agnes Nixon.
Now 85, Nixon was mentored by the grande dame of the soap opera genre, Irna Phillips, back in the radio age.
She was writing for a TV soap — "Search for Tomorrow" — as early as 1951.
Then, in the late 1960s, while married, raising a family and serving as head writer for "The Guiding Light," she created "AMC" (as she puts it) "in my free time."
She wrote a "Bible" sourcebook for this prospective new series. But the show was turned down by CBS and the sponsor, Procter & Gamble.
Next she breathed new life into NBC's flagging "Another World," then was approached by ABC to create a new serial. Believing there was something "wrong" with "AMC" — after all, CBS had rejected it — Nixon started over and created "OLTL."
"It its first year, it had good ratings," she recalls during a recent interview at her Manhattan pied-a-terre. "So ABC said to me, 'How about creating another for us?'
"I said to my husband, 'I can't think of another one.' He said, 'How about "All My Children"?' So I opened the desk drawer and took out the Bible and sent it to ABC. They said, 'Boy, that was fast work!'"
Maybe not THAT fast, but Nixon did work swiftly, often voicing dialogue straight into her Dictaphone.
"I would just empty my mind," she says, "and hear them talking. That's the good thing about being a writer: You get to play all the parts."
Nixon doesn't write these days, but she's been involved on a daily basis as the series resume life. And she's heading up what's become a grand reunion.
Says "AMC" exec producer Smith, "With every former member of the cast, staff and crew, when I called them they said, 'We want to get in the trenches with you.' When I called Cady McClain, she said, 'Where do you want me and what time do you want me there?'"
The 43-year-old McClain first played the role of Dixie Clooney in 1988 and has since had a stormy history with villainous Pine Valley tycoon Adam Chandler (played by David Canary).
When Chandler's wife, Brooke, couldn't present him with a male heir, he had an affair with Dixie, which produced his son, "then he got rid of me. He put me in an insane asylum."
"The baby," McClain adds, "was this guy here."
Seated beside her in this rehearsal room is Ryan Bittle, newly cast as Dixie's all-grown-up, soap-opera-handsome son JR Chandler. And as McClain spins out more history of her character and his, Bittle listens with great interest: Much of it is news to him.
"I'm not familiar with the show at all," he confesses, "and I'm still trying to piece everything together."
What can Bittle look forward to? More history unfolding, soaked in plenty of emotion.
"I was crying all day yesterday," says McClain. "Crying again today."
But undergirding the essential turmoil, hope springs eternal on daytime dramas — and for the people reviving two venerable soaps.
"This is a second chance," says Jennifer Pepperman as a new day dawns. "It is a wonderful gift."

Over the decades, we have built a strong, unshakeable reputation for delivering our customers with honest, reliable advice, first-class tree surgery services, and professional results.
How does our Watford tree surgery work?
Tree surgery is the practice of managing trees, shrubs, and hedges. This is essential to ensure that they are kept in an orderly, safe and healthy condition. If they are not properly cared for or if nature is left to own devices, trees and shrubs can get out of control and have the potential to become unhealthy or hazardous to their environment.
As experienced, professional and leading local Watford tree surgeons, we will to come and assess your situation before deciding on the course of action most suited for your tree. In many cases, a simple solution is that the tree requires pruning to make it safer to be around, but unfortunately, in some cases, the tree will need to be felled.
How much does tree surgeon cost in Watford WD17?
Our Watford tree surgeon costs will vary depending on a number of different variables. For example, the number of trees, height, or surrounding area may mean we have to operate on the tree for a longer period of time.

Looking for a "Tree Surgeon Near Me" in Watford or surrounding areas?
Watford Tree Surgery & Maintenance Services:
Watford Stump Grinding
Stump grinding removes the base of the tree and some of its roots after it has been felled. There are many benefits for removing a stump, and we are able to carry out this task with our own specialist portable equipment, which allows us access to the smallest of spaces and can remove stumps of any size.
Watford Crown Pruning
Crown reduction pruning is most often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space. This method, sometimes called drop crotch pruning, is preferred to topping because it results in a more natural appearance, and increases the time before pruning is needed again and minimizes stress to the tree.
Watford Tree Maintenance
Our Watford tree surgeons are fully qualified in all aspects of tree surgery. We can complete the removal of trees without damage to the surrounding areas and are fully equipped to tackle the felling of trees that may be situated in awkward locations.
Tree Felling
This is the removal of the tree to ground level. It can either be carried out from the ground if space permits or by means of dismantling the tree into smaller pieces by rope and harness. Some operations require specialist equipment for lowering sections to the ground by means of rigging equipment. Ask our Watford tree surgeons for more advice.
Watford Tree Pruning
Properly pruned trees will remain healthier and live longer than neglected trees. The Pruning of trees is the most important tree maintenance practice you can do to help your tree remain healthy and strong. Pruning is important in order to maintain tree health. The older the tree the more difficult and expensive this work is.
Watford Tree Inspections
Routine inspections should be carried out frequently enough to detect any hazards that may have recently developed. Hazards from large old trees sometimes develop quite rapidly, for which reason an inspection frequency of once a year or more is advisable.
Watford Pollarding
This is a method of treating a tree so that the overall shape is a large trunk and very small branches. The trees need to be maintained every year by a qualified Watford tree surgeon.
If a tree is not looked after, then this process can prematurely kill the tree.
Why Choose Majestic Tree Surgeons in Watford?
Over the many years of caring for trees, shrubs, and hedges, for both domestic and commercial customers in Watford, Majestic Tree Care has built up an unbeatable reputation. All our Watford tree surgeons are fully trained, fully qualified and have vast experience and knowledge in a variety of different pruning and felling methods:
Crown thinning – Small branches are removed to thin the crown, reducing the weight & wind resistance of the tree
Crown lifting – Lower branches are carefully removed to increase the amount of light passing through the tree
Crown deadwooding – Branches may naturally die off but can take a while to decay, removing the branches early keeps the tree safe
Crown reductions – The height of the tree is reduced to decrease shading & loss of light, making the tree more suited to its environment
Directional felling – A wedge is removed from the bottom of the tree, bringing it down safely in one piece
Sectional dismantling – Where space is restricted, the tree is carefully dismantled and brought down piece by piece

Sept-23-08 DCA Announces Partnership to Help Revitalize NJ Communities at Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development
DCA Announces Partnership to Help Revitalize NJ Communities at Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – As part of the 2008 Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and Public Service Enterprise Group today announced a partnership that will support five local nonprofit community development programs.
Through DCA's Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit (NRTC) Program, PSEG will provide funds for the construction of environmentally friendly housing and expansion of a health clinic in New Brunswick, the conversion of a rundown structure into a condominium development in Elizabeth, and the creation of new economic and housing opportunities in Trenton and Camden.
"At DCA, we are in the business of investing in our state one neighborhood at a time," DCA Commissioner Joseph Doria said. "The Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit Program gives businesses and nonprofits the resources they need to work together to build strong relationships and invest in their communities – today and into the future."
PSEG and its subsidiary, Public Service Electric and Gas Company, have committed to a total of $2 million to the NRTC Program – $1 million from PSEG and $1 million from PSE&G. For its investment, the company will receive a 100 percent state tax credit against business-related income.
"Public Service is pleased to support these neighborhood revitalization projects through our partnership with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs," said Ralph LaRossa, PSE&G president and COO. "This is an example of public policy working to make a difference in the lives of people and communities by encouraging private-sector involvement and additional investment."

If you want to install Nvidia driver with the nvidia installer (I've tried v.7667) and you use a kernel from Breezy or you compiled it from Breezy sources in Hoary, then just try this HOWTO.
These instructions are taken from one of kleeman's posts you can find below:
All the credits go to him. I've just made a HOWTO out of his post.
This is the 1st time I write one. I hope it helps you.
Make sure you graphic card is not among the ones which are NOT SUPPORTED by looking at the list you will find in the NOTES SECTION *
Download the installer from this page according to your architecture (32bit or 64bit)
Make sure you have the kernel headers of your current kernel installed (If not just install them).
1) uninstall nvidia-glx (if you don't have it just go to step 2)
2) then remove the file manually:
sudo rm /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx
3)the default gcc compiler needs to match the one used by the kernel (gcc-3.4 in my case) so:
ctl-alt-f1 (so as to get to the command line)
login with your username and password (if required)
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (or "kdm stop" if you use KDE)
CC=gcc-3.4 (here you have to put the number of the gcc you used to compile your kernel, which is 3.4 in my case**)
export CC
cd "directory where you have the nvidia installer"
If you have Ubuntu 64bit type: ***
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7667-pkg2.run
Otherwise if you have Ubuntu 32 bit type:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg2.run
If you have Ubuntu 64bit you can't install OpenGL32bit compatibility libraries, so when the installer asks whether to install it just answer no.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
scroll the file down until you find the line with "Modules" and either remove the first 2 lines in red and add Load "glx" or just make it look like this:
Section "Module"
Load "bitmap"#Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "ddc"
#Load "GLcore"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "record"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
Then find the section Device and make sure the word I put in red is "nvidia":
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
CTRL+O to save (yes, use the same name and overwrite the file)
CTRL+X to exit
/etc/init.d/gdm start (or "kdm start" if you use KDE)
* Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver.
These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA
GPU driver releases.
NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID
------------------------------- -------------------------------
RIVA TNT 0x0020
RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028
RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029
Vanta/Vanta LT 0x002C
RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro 0x002D
Aladdin TNT2 0x00A0
GeForce 256 0x0100
GeForce DDR 0x0101
Quadro 0x0103
GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro 0x0150
GeForce2 Ti 0x0151
GeForce2 Ultra 0x0152
Quadro2 Pro 0x0153
**If you just downloaded a kernel from Breezy repositories it is likely that you don't have the right GCC installed. So install it in synaptic (perhaps it is 3.4, you'll have to find out)
***the name of the installer may vary:
e.g. it could be NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7667-pkg1.run.
So just put the name of the installer you've downloaded from Nvidia website.
1) If the installer reports that the "Framebuffer" kernel module conflicts with the drivers you will have to recompile your kernel and disable this function
Here's a HOWTO for kernel compilation for newbies
2) If the installer complains in this way (this is an example of part of the error):
nvidia: version magic '2.6.10-5-386 preempt 386 gcc-3.4' should be
'2.6.10-5-386 preempt 386 gcc-3.3'
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.
This means the installer tries to use gcc-3.4 instead of gcc-3.3(the right one).Type this before launching NVIDIA installer:
export CC
The number of the version of gcc has to be the same as the 2nd one reported in the error by nvidia installer (i.e. the word I put in red instead of the one I put in blue)
then run nvidia installer again.
3) If the installer complains in this way:
ERROR: Unable to find the development tool `cc` in your path; please make sure
that you have the package 'gcc' installed. If gcc is installed on your
system, then please check that `cc` is in your PATH.
The user Reid has suggested this solution:
To find out where 'gcc' is located I did:
which gcc
which returned:
then I made a symbolic link to gcc called cc so programs trying to use 'cc' would get gcc, with this code:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
Then try the installer again.
4) If you have an AGP graphic card and your system freezes but you can still move the mouse pointer you will have to do this:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Add the lines in red at this section of the file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "RenderAccel" "Off"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"
Option "NoRenderExtension" "Off"
Option "Accel" "Off"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "Off"
This will either disable 3d acceleration or make it slower (sorry but I haven't got an AGP card so I haven't tried them myself)
If this doesn't work for you try asking at this Forum and you might be talking to some of the developers of the NVIDIA drivers (there's a Linux section) (it's very useful)

Well-Known Hunter
Well a while ago I was commishioned to paint a SGT Fang bucket for a member here. I will let him step up and say hello if he wishes (also I don't know his screen name on here I was contacted through E-mail). But in the end he wanted it painted ROTJ style so that is how it came out. I used Micke's/Evan4218's paint list (thanks guys) except I used Boxcar red for the mandibles and C&O Enchantment Blue for the upper cheaks. The kill stripes are hand painted, everything else was airbrushed. The weathering is layered with a few topical spots. The only thing I didn't do was the RF stalk and RF. The pics are thanks to the new owner of the helmet so these are all I have of them right now. So here she is, let me know what you think!

I/O modules for field applications
Active ClassicLine module
AS-i interface to FK lower sections
M12 x 1 sockets
IR addressing possible
4 inputs (AC2505)
2 inputs and 2 outputs (AC2507)
AS-I is a method of providing communication from simple discrete components such as an inductive sensor or switching valve via a simple two-wire network to a controlling device such as a PLC or PC.
A unique feature of the AS-I system is the flat, two-core cable (stock no 242-6189) designed to enable fast and easy connection, ensuring correct polarity every time. The cable can be used in a network up to 100m (300m if repeaters are used).
By providing power and data down the same cable, the amount of time normally used to connect sensors and actuators is dramatically reduced, thereby providing savings in cable requirements and man-hours.
The choice of AS-I connection modules enables the user to connect standard sensors/actuators to the BUS with all the address benefits of using dedicated sensors/actuators. It also serves to increase the number of I/O nodes that are available to the user by the use of addressable splitter boxes. The connection modules are available in a variety of packages and can accommodate up to 4 inputs and 4 outputs. This enables up to 124 inputs and 124 outputs to be connected to a single AS-I network.
Another feature of AS-I system is the method by which the sensors or modules communicate with the host. The design of the communications protocol ensures high data accuracy and error detection capabilities, making the ASI system ideal for automation in noisy and industrial environments.
Replaces hard wiring
High data speed
Low cost installation
Intelligent diagnostics
Easy to learn and install
Highly flexible
Can connect to other fieldbus systems
Off-site pre-assembly and test
Easy maintenance
Faster on-site commissioning
Host or stand alone use
Able to use standard sensors and actuators (using modules)

Trump attacked for calling Hurricane Maria response an 'incredible success'Lauren Gambino in Washington (picture)Trump in Puerto Rico in October last year. Trump said on Tuesday in the Oval Office: 'I think Puerto Rico was an incredible, unsung success.'© LA Times via Getty Images Donald Trump on Tuesday touted the "incredible, unsung success" of the federal response last year in Puerto Rico, where the government estimates nearly 3,000 died as a result of Hurricane Maria.The president's remarks drew swift backlash from the island and the mainland as Trump sought to assure the public his administration was "ready as anybody has ever been" for the powerful 500-mile wide Hurricane Florence swirling toward the Carolinas."This is an offensive, hurtful and blatantly false comment from the president," Senate minority leader Charles Schumer tweeted on Tuesday. "Nearly 3,000 of our fellow citizens died in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. That is the complete opposite of 'success.'"https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/msn/trump-attacked-for-calling-hurricane-maria-response-an-incredible-success/ar-BBNcY0h
Puerto Rico governor responds to Trump calling response to hurricane 'unsung success'By Avery Anapol - 09/11/18 08:57 PM EDT Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló on Tuesday issued a statement blasting President Trump's comments that his administration's response to the hurricanes in Puerto Rico was an "unsung success."The statement made reference to Puerto Rico's lack of statehood, and made it clear that there is still work to be done to help Puerto Ricans recover from last year's destruction."The historical relationship between Puerto Rico and Washington is unfair and unAmerican," Rosselló said. "It is certainly not a successful relationship."Trump on Tuesday praised his administration's response to Puerto Rico, calling it an "incredible, unsung success.""I actually think it was one of the best jobs that's ever been done with respect to what this is all about," he told reporters during an Oval Office briefing on the incoming Hurricane Florence. "The job that FEMA, and law enforcement and everybody did working along with the governor in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous."morehttp://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/406192-puerto-rico-governor-responds-to-trump-calling-response-to-hurricane
"The historical relationship between Puerto Rico and Washington is unfair and unAmerican," Rosselló said. "It is certainly not a successful relationship."Lets cut the bitches loose.
This jackhole Leftist runs a corrupt shithole. It was a success. It would have been a greater success if this corrupt piece of filth didn't allow govt' employees to loot and steal supplies and services from their own people.
@The GhostWorks for me as long as we also deport all the PR's living here and cut off all their welfare checks.
Whatever is still wrong in PR is the fault of PR. Some weeks ago, there was an article lamenting that some donated items were rotting in warehouses because they were not distributed to the storm victims. Supposedly, the National Guard was to have distributed these items, but the Guard was ordered home before they could do so, But Geez Louise -- aren't there some people in PR who could distribute these things?Sounds to me like Puerto Rico is one big gimmedat territory-- not willing to do anything for themselves. No way would I support making PR another state. We have enough leeches in the present 50 states. We don't need more. Cut off the aid and cut 'em loose.
PR has it's own Nat'l Guard..they could have distributed these items..
Didn't know that. Thanks. So why didn't the governor mobilize them to get the aid to the people?And even if PR didn't have a National Guard -- where are the rest of the able-bodied to do the work? No one volunteered? No one there to organize the distribution?
Except for the tourist resorts PR is like a 3rd world country...trying to make this Trump's Katrina is grossly unfair.
Maria hit 9 days ago. Less than half of the Puerto Rico National Guard is on duty.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2017/09/29/maria-hit-9-days-ago-less-than-half-of-the-puerto-rico-national-guard-is-on-duty/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.8738feea7a19...But nine days after Hurricane Maria, a striking trend has emerged: Less than half of the 8,000 members of the Puerto Rico National Guard are on duty. Army Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, the top U.S. officer overseeing military operations on the island, attributed this to a combination of factors. Many personnel are dealing with the devastation in their own lives, he said, and some are providing help in their full-time jobs as police, firefighters or other first responders rather than through the Guard.The struggle to activate National Guard troops comes as Puerto Rico grapples with devastation that U.S. officials have, repeatedly, called unprecedented while defending the federal government's response. A growing number of critics have questioned why more U.S. forces were not deployed sooner. The storm cut a 60-mile wide swath across the island with Category-4 strength, knocking out the electrical grid and leaving people desperate for food, clean water and medical care.......In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott (R) activated all 7,000 members of the Florida National Guard before Hurricane Irma pummeled the state. In Texas, all 12,000 members were activated within two days of Hurricane Harvey coming ashore with Category-4 strength.The comparatively small number of Guard troops on duty in Puerto Rico appears to underscore a disconnect between pleas made on the ground by civilians on the ground since the storm, and the federal government's relatively modest response at first....
Not really. It is lot like Hawaii. You do have very nice tourist areas but you also have poverth, just like everywhere. But it was far from being a third world country. It just had the unique challenges of being an island. We had good friends there who lost everything (he is with the Air Force as an air traffic controller). I know people like to spin it for their team, but the Puerto Rico emergency response was FUBAR on the federal and local level. It is worse than Katrina because unlike the spin, recovery there was fast and well organized. Bureaucrats screwed up PR bigly. I'm not blaming the president, but he certainly shouldn't brag about that as any sort of victory.
Not when you can't get past the roads, the trucks are destroyed, and truckers don't even show up (mostly for the first two reasons). Destroyed roads need trucks to bring repair supplies but you can't get truck there because of the destroyed roads.This needed a big step in leadership and coordination from someone. No one did.

Finally! Okay, now we're in business. I don't want to necessarily say that the news is big news; I think a year or two ago it would have been really big news, but players age year to year, and last year's phenom is this year's solid, all-around acquisition who's good but doesn't necessarily have that wow factor anymore. But given our needs and our situation, I'd say Ben's moves during and after the Winter Meetings were good and much-needed ones. He's putting together a stable team while maintaining a healthy amount of financial flexibility, and John Farrell is happy with the developments. All in all, I'd say we're definitely going in a great direction.
Anyway, let's get down to it. We've signed Mike Napoli to a three-year contract worth thirty-nine million dollars. Don't let last season's aggregate stats fool you. He batted .227 with twenty-four home runs and fifty-six RBIs with an on-base percentage of .343, but look at his numbers in his new home: .307 batting average, nine home runs, twenty RBIs, and a 1.14 OBP. Admittedly, the sample size of seventy-five at-bats is small, but numbers aside, he's known for pulling the ball, and his swing will thrive in Fenway. As for defense, he's a catcher by trade, but don't expect to see him behind the plate. He'll probably end up at first.
Our next name is Shane Victorino, the Flyin' Hawaiian. It's another three-year, thirty-nine-million-dollar deal. Last year, he batted .255 with eleven homers, fifty-five RBIs, and a .321 OBP. Don't forget that he bats switch, though, and while he batted .229 as a leftie, he batted .320 as a rightie. But he had vastly more at-bats from the left than the right, so again, the sample size must be considered. Still, versatility has never been frowned upon in our organization. As for defense, like Napoli, Victorino will not field in familiar territory. All trade rumors concerning Ellsbury are patently false, and Victorino will not be playing center. He'll be playing right for sure. And it'll be a welcome relief. Fenway's right field can break any veteran, but Shane has the stuff to handle it. He has three Gold Gloves and a center fielder's speed and arm, and that combination in right, once he learns the fatal angles out there, will be formidable. It'll be nice breathing easy with a steady patrol out there.
It's worth noting that Ben and John met in person with Josh Hamilton, but don't get too excited. We already have Ellsbury, and Hamilton wants either Texas or a long-term deal, neither of which we will provide.
And we signed Ryan Dempster to a two-year deal worth $26.5 million. Granted, he has spent almost all of his time in the National League aside from a few handfuls of games last season, which he started for Texas. But his ERA was 3.38 last season, and his WHIP was 1.20; not too shabby. Just as important, if not more important, to why we were interested in him in the first place is the fact that, before last season, his last for seasons totaled at least two hundred innings, and last season he clocked 173 innings which isn't too far behind. That means three things: durability, durability, durability. On the other hand, durability doesn't mean much unless you're good, and his brief stint in the American League didn't go well at all, so I'm concerned as to how he'll make out in the AL East, which, as we all know, is the toughest division there is, basically. So I'd say we can approach this one with cautious expectations. But at least we got some sort of starting pitcher, which is a step in the right direction. We also added Koji Uehara, who signed a one-year deal. In thirty-six innings last year, he posted a 1.75 ERA and an 0.64 WHIP. That means good late-inning work for us.
We finished the Zach Stewart trade by acquiring Kyle Kaminska from the Pirates and assigned him to the PawSox. We also claimed Sandy Rosario from the A's, and he has since been claimed by the Cubs. Gary DiSarcina, formerly the Angels' minor league field coordinator, is now the PawSox manager.
So we had gaps and voids, we identified them, and we set about filling them with solid, stable choices who will fit in both on the field and in the clubhouse. We now have some powerful hitters and defenders in the lineup whose numbers admittedly were not great last year but who stand, given the right circumstances, to do great things, and we have some great additions to the clubhouse as well. We also have a starter who's spent hardly any time in the AL and whose time he did spend in the AL was nothing to write home about but who has considerable potential. We still have a lot of work to do; we need more and better starting pitching, for one thing. That's a big one. But slowly but surely we're getting it done. We don't need to make the world's biggest splash to put a team together that can go the distance.
In other news, the Pats beat the Dophins, 23-16, and the Texans, 42-14.

Behind-the-Scenes at the Alberta Ferretti, Ralph Lauren Fall 2011 Campaign Shoots; Plus, Lanvin and Roberto Cavalli Cast Details
>> The Fall 2011 campaign parade continues: Arizona Muse was on set for Alberta Ferretti yesterday, as were Valentina Zeliaeva and Magdalena Frackowiak for Ralph Lauren (left).
Raquel Zimmermann recently confirmed: "I'll be in the Lanvin campaign which was shot by photographer Steven Meisel, but I can not describe how it was, total secrecy until the campaign out!" And Roberto Cavalli is reportedly employing Natasha Poly, Mariacarla Boscono, and Karen Elson to be shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and styled by Panos Yiapanis.
After Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted leaving Coach headquarters recently with Reed Krakoff, meanwhile, rumors have been fanned that the actress might be a new face for either Coach or Krakoff's Coach-funded eponymous label.
Photos from the Ferretti and Ralph Lauren shoots in the gallery.

TOKYO -- There was nothing unusual about a man who boarded a flight in Osaka and was arrested after landing in Los Angeles wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying handcuffs, knives and a smoke grenade in his checked-in baggage, a Japanese official said Wednesday.
Masahiro Nakamoto, an immigration officer at Kansai International Airport in Osaka, said authorities reported nothing suspicious when the man, identified as 28-year-old Yongda Huang Harris, is believed to have boarded a flight.
"We didn't spot anyone who was jittery or sheepish during that time," Nakamoto said. "We usually don't stop someone unless they refuse to show their face, or is obviously violating Japanese law, like wielding a knife or something."
Nakamoto said arriving passengers are checked more closely than those leaving the country. He said he would stop an incoming passenger if he or she was acting or dressed strangely.
U.S. officials say Harris, a U.S. citizen bound for Boston, was arrested last Friday at Los Angeles airport and charged with transporting hazardous materials.
A Transport Ministry official said as of Wednesday the U.S. has not requested assistance. He said more details were needed, but stood by the security measures at Japan's airports.

Latest Infectious Disease News
THURSDAY, Jan. 31 (HealthDay News) -- They're cute, but pet hedgehogs might carry an unseen danger of salmonella infection, according to a new report from U.S. government health officials.
Although people typically contract salmonella from tainted foods, "contact with infected animals and their environments also can cause illness," according to a report issued Thursday by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new outbreak involves a particularly rare strain of salmonella, called Salmonella Typhimurium, the CDC said. There are usually only one or two cases of illness with this strain reported annually across the United States, but in 2011, the CDC began getting many more reports.
Beginning in January 2012, "a total of 20 persons affected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium have been reported from eight states," the CDC said. States affected include Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon and Washington.
Patients typically have been young, about half of them under 10 years old. The CDC reported that one patient died and four required hospitalization. "Fourteen out of 15 patients (or their proxies) reported direct or indirect contact between the patient and a hedgehog during the week before illness onset," the CDC team noted. Some specifically mentioned contact with African Pygmy hedgehogs.
The hedgehogs in question were all purchased from breeders, some of them licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA, the CDC and state health departments are investigating to trace back other hedgehogs bought from the same breeders.
The CDC warned that salmonella infections "can result from direct contact with hedgehogs during routine care and indirect transmission through contact with objects (cages, toys or bedding, for example) or household surfaces that come in contact with infected hedgehogs."
To avoid infection, hand-washing after handling pet hedgehogs, especially before consuming food or drinks, is warranted, the CDC said. Hedgehog cages and other equipment also should be cleaned outside the home.
Hedgehogs aren't the only small pets associated with salmonella outbreaks. The CDC has issued warnings in the past of salmonella spread by pet turtles, chicks and hamsters.
The findings were reported in the Feb. 1 issue of the CDC journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Repairing a Cracked Headstock on a Jackson RR series guitar
by admin on Jul.27, 2011, under Electric, Guitar Repair, Headstock
The headstock had a crack running from below the nut, all the way to the end of the guitar by the 2nd tuning peg. it went all the way through from side to side, and I forgot to take a before picture.
I used tight bond wood glue between the cracks, and clamped along the head stock overnight for the structural side. Then removed some of the chipped finish on the headstock with a razor blade, and filled it in with black epoxy from stewmac. I wet sanded it flush. It didn't look perfect, but its hard to notice if your not looking for it.
Clean up and Repair of an abused Floyd Rose Floting Bridge
by admin on Jul.26, 2011, under Electric, Guitar Repair
For the past few years I've been picking up project guitars to fix up and learn from. I've been very surprised how abusive some people are to instruments. yesterday I picked up my 3rd floyd rose style bridge that was unloved for quite a while.
Its a high Original Floyd Rose (OFR) bridge. To identify an ORF, look for the words Floyd Rose on the front of the base plate, and made in Germany on the back. Many licensed floyd rose bridges are made of weaker alloys then the OFR was. The OFR it is widely regarded as one of the best Floating Tremolo's on the market. Current new price on them is around $250-$300, for just the bridge. for more information on floyd rose quality see: http://www.jemsite.com/forums/f18/opinions-on-edge-pro-ii-trem-37364.html
Generally accepted the best Floyd's are: Original Floyd Rose, Ibanez Lo-Pro, Ibanez Edge Pro.
When I stopped by to pick it up, it was missing all string lock inserts, string lock screws were missing or missmatched, a missing saddle mounting screw, no trem arm or holder, painted black, but originally chrome.
I grabbed it for $25 and have some bodies with floyd routes in them so even after parts I'll still have a nice bridge.
I poured some Laquer thinner from home depo into a small jar and soaked each piece, then used an old toothbrush to clean it off the paint. Use heavy gloves like the kind used in a kitchen sink. I used think latex free gloves, and wore through 4 paris in the process, leaving my fingers still feeling dry today.
I was able to find all the parts I need to fix it up at stewmac under the tremelo parts section: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolo_parts/Floyd_Rose_tremolos_and_parts.html
Total cost after I order parts, including buying the bridge will run around $75, which is still low even if I went with a Schaller or Gotoh (mid range to high end floyd roses. The only licensed floyd roses with a generally good reputation)
Repairing a 1992 Ibanez 540S LTD
by admin on Mar.18, 2010, under Electric, Guitar Repair
I started doing amateur guitar repair in mid 2009. These are some of the reference material I would recommend to others:
- Project Guitar – http://www.projectguitar.com/menu/tutorial.htm
- liutaia mottola – http://www.liutaiomottola.com/
- Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine
I started playing acoustic and electric guitar in 1997, bass in 2001.
I've been doing my own setup, intonation and basic maintenance for 3 years.
So far i've done some basic repairs:
- Replaced a tuning peg on my ESP C-305 LTD bass.
- Replaced a tuning peg on an acoustic bass guitar for a friend, which happened to break a peg in the exact same way a my C-305.
- Repaired a cracked neck on an unknown model Ibanez bass guitar with hot hide glue (didn't clean the old adhesive from it and it re-cracked).
- Fixed the wiring in an harmony electric guitar.
- Created and replaced nuts on a few electric guitars.
- Fret dressing on multiple guitar
- Tune-o-matic bridge adjustment (the low E string kept popping out, ran thin file through it for a few passes and it was fine)
Here is one of the broken tuning pegs:
First neck repair
About 2 months ago I did my first non entry level repair. fixing a cracked neck. It wasn't that hard of a job, because the fret board wasn't damaged. There was a clean break up to the fret board about 2 inches from the nut. I heated some 215 gram hide glue up in a double boiler made from a stove pot pan, baby food jar, and metal cloths hanger. I fully loosened the truss rod to remove strain on the neck, and applied some light force to open the crack for better glue penetration. Then applied it inside the crack with parts of the small e string from an electric guitar. I clamped the neck with some soft tipped clamps, and used a hair dryer to re-heat the hide glue to make sure there was no excess glue to weaken the bond. I also turned the truss rod a quater turn back and forth a few times while the glue was setting, to make sure any glue that seeped inside wouldn't dry close to the truss rod.
This is one of the better hot hide glue references I found: http://www.violins.on.ca/luthier/glue.html
Mirror: http://wirelessdreamer.com/hide_glue_preparation.pdf
Ibanez 540s LTD Initial assessment:
I got help Identifying the Model and year at the Ibanez fourms: http://forum.ibanez.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=79661
Thanks mathew@ibanez and steelrobin for helping me identify it.
I saw a posting for the guitar on craigslist, and and been looking for a midrange project guitar with a floyd rose bridge. Everything worked out and I picked the guitar up a few hours after I saw the initial posting. It was advertised as having a cracked neck. While I was picking it up my daughter threw up in the car so I was a bit rushed and didn't get to look at it that close, I paid $115 for it, so even if I the neck was a lost cause, the floyd and emg-81 pickup in the body should make it worth while. My main reason for getting the guitar was to get some practice with what i've been reading about, and I'd rather do that on a midrange guitar that if done right will play really nice, then a $100 beater that at best would only be playable.
The crack was the whole way through the neck, and it seperated the fingerboard from the neck. If I had been smart I would of taken the truss rod bolt off and the head would of come clean off.
Sorry to say I don't have a picture of this part. When I pulled the panel off the back covering the electronics I was a little shocked. The original pickups sill in the guitar body weren't connected to anything. Everything had been cut off the pickup toggle switch, With the emg-81 pickup always connected as the only pickup.
The neck on this guitar will need a lot more work then the bass I worked on. The fretboard is separated for a few inches from the neck, and there are multiple cracks on the neck by the nut. I'd recommend to anyone that hasn't looked at it yet to check out project guitars tutorials section: http://www.projectguitar.com/menu/tutorial.htm
The floyd was really beat up as well.
I'm about 70% of the way done sanding the body down, I've found a few dings i'll need to sand out, but I should be able to finish it in tung oil. I've got a piece of test mahogany ordered so I can see what a tung oil finish will look like on it, and still have finish sanding to do on the body, then clean it with naphtha.
The floyd needs some serious work, all the saddle screws are stripped, some of the saddle blocks are warped from being tightened too much, and one of the arms on a saddle snapped off. I found the saddle screws and blocks at: http://www.gpdusa.com/Tremolo_Parts-Saddle_Parts.html but still am trying to find a replacement saddle for an original lo-pro trem, all i've found so far is lo-proII saddles. I also need to replace the screws that hold the saddles in place, which I haven't found a source for yet.
Plans changed partway though. I'm now having a custom mahogany/ebony neck built with inlay work, along with a graphtech piezo floyd rose bridge, i'll be putting in the hexpander and acoustiphonic modules for it, and putting in emg pickups, I got a good price on an emg 58/81 combo, so i'm going to start with them, I may trade out the 58 for a 60 or 85 later, depending on the sound, and how much I use them, as I'll mainly be using the hex piezo pickup for guitar synth, and blending in the other pickups.
Here is a shot I was emailed of the neck:
I decided to French polish the body with shellac for the finish, The grain filling is finished, and this is what it looks like:
I used epoxy on the original neck where the break was, and just clamped up the figerboard with tight bond II word working glue.
I got the original neck clamped up to reattach the fingerboard. It will make a nice neck for another project.
I have evo frets on the way to do a refret on it, and evo frets on the way for the new neck I'm prepping for it.
Once I got the new neck on and strung up, I noticed just how bad the fret job was, the g and b strings were sitting on the first fret, and most of the frets had enough space under them to put my fingernail. I pulled on the frets, and have evo frets on the way for it.
I'm Most of the way done with the Refret now. The tang size of the old frets was much larger then a standard .020, I measured the frets I pulled and they came to 0.34. I picked up a fret fitter from Stewmac to make the frets I ordered a little larger. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Fretting_supplies/Pullers,_nippers,_sizing/Fret_Fitter.html. Some were still loose in the slots, so I decided to glue all the frets in as well. Once I finish the touchup work on the edges I'll be putting it back on the body for some play testing, and i'm on to finishing up the electronics work. I'll be routing a cavity for a 9v battery compartment and hooking up the mag's and acoustic module from the ghost kit.
Over the weekend I got the neck and body finished, and put together. I still have to build a neck jig, adjust pickup height, set intonation, level the frets, build a back plate to cover the electronics cavity, and hook up the mag and piezo pickups. I played with the builting synth pickups this morning. It was great to play it after working on it for so long.
a little electronics work and setup, and i'll finally be done with the one 🙂
I leveled the frets, got the electronics hooked up, and did the initial setup on it. Project is done for now. At some point I want to lower the action on it, but it plays and looks great.

R Kelly's daughter slams dad over allegations
The daughter of singer R Kelly has broken her silence on her "monster" father after multiple women accused him of sex abuse in a startling TV docuseries, according to .
Joann Kelly, 20, has issued an emotional Instagram post in reaction to the allegations made in Lifetime docuseries Surviving R Kelly.
The 20-year-old, who has not seen her Grammy award-winning dad in years, said she knows "who and what" her father is.
She wrote: "The same monster you all confronting me about is my father. I am well aware of who and what he is. I grew up in that house.
"My choice to not speak on him and what he does is for peace of mind. My emotional state. And for MY healing.
"I had to do and move in a manner that is best for me."
Her mother Andrea - who filed a restraining order against her ex-husband in 2005 after an altercation - took part in the six-part doc series.
She filed for divorce after the relationship collapsed following the emergence of a sex tape allegedly involving Kelly and a 14-year-old girl.
Andrea claims the singer chose not to be part of his children's lives.
Joann, who performs under the stage name Buku Abi, said she is praying for the women "affected by my father's actions."
She wrote: "Before I start I just want it to be known that I am speaking from the heart, nothing I say or do not say is to hurt any party affected by this.
"I just want you all to understand that devastated is an understatement for all that I feel currently."
She added: "I pray for all the families & woman who have been affected by my father's actions. Trust, I have been deeply affected by all of this."
Meanwhile, reports claim her controversial father is being investigated by cops who contacted his accusers featured in the docuseries.
The R & B singer, 52, is being probed by police in Georgia over allegations made in Lifetime's six-part Surviving R. Kelly, reports TMZ.
Musician Kelly strongly denies all abuse allegations made against him - but has yet to comment publicly on reports he is being investigated.
The singer's career has been dogged by controversies surrounding his infatuation with young women some of whom filed lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct.
Just last year, he was accused of trapping six women in a sex "cult".
But, in keeping with his reaction to accusations in Surviving R. Kelly, the singer has denied all claims relating to sexual assault, domestic violence/abuse and sexual misconduct with minors.
His links with younger women became public due to his relationship with Aaliyah, who he married in 1994 when she was just 15 after she lied about her age.
But the fledgling star - killed in a plane crash in 2001 - is just the tip of the iceberg and now his accusers are queuing up to tell all, inspired by the #MeToo campaign.

Are educational games broken? Can Portal help fix them?
Speaking during a Rants session at the Games for Change conference in New York today, educators Scott Kirk (CEO, GameGurus) and Jodi Asbell-Clarke (Director, EdGE ) said perspectives like Valve's could help shed a light on the best way to make educational games more fun. Asbell-Clarke pointed to Portal's developer commentary as one of the most useful lessons she's found.
"It's magic," Asbell-Clarke said. "They're telling you why they built the pedagogy they did, what happened in the play-testing that gives you their level of learning... I've been an educator for 20 years, and I learned so much from that game."
Kirk talked about attending a UNICEF conference on education, noting that he was disappointed by the results.
"It was clear to me that the people trying to make fun games just weren't fun people," he said.
Although the pair didn't dish out any solutions to the longrunning dilemma of how to balance fun and education, they did tout the values of play-testing and other Portal-esque ideas.
Their final words of wisdom? "Make games that just don't suck."
