About us
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the official website of the European Union Delegation to Brazil. I invite you to visit our site frequently in order to get updated information on our numerous activities in Brazil, as well as familiarize yourselves with the EU's overall objectives and priorities.
The European Union is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries. It has delivered half a century of peace, stability, and prosperity, helped raise living standards, launched a single European currency, and is progressively building a single Europe-wide market in which people, goods, services, and capital move among Member States as freely as within one country.
The EU and Brazil have much in common; they share democratic values and respect for liberties and human rights. They also share values important to the world, such as the preservation of peace and promotion of sustainable development. They both agree that an effective and rule-based multilateralism is the only way to address current global governance challenges, and to preserve the stability, peace and progress of the world.
The establishment of the EU-Brazil Strategic Partnership in 2007 represented a qualitative leap in our relations. Before agreeing on this partnership, the relations between the EU and Brazil had a rather narrow focus, notably trade relations and agriculture. Since 2007, annual summit meetings and numerous political and technical visits at the highest level have been held, as well as a high-level political dialogue and extensive exchanges of information and know-how in various domains. During these last years, over 20 bilateral dialogues have been initiated, in areas as varied as climate change, financial services, science and technology, human rights and education.
On 4 October 2011, the 5th EU-Brazil Summit agreed to further deepen bilateral cooperation and dialogues, establishing a new common plan of action for the next three years. As Presidents Barroso and Van Rompuy have stated: "our Partnership goes well beyond the bilateral agenda, (..), we need now to move from strategic partnership to strategic global action".
It is with this vision in mind that I took up my mission at the EU Delegation in Brazil, hoping that the consolidation of our Partnership with Brazil will help to bring more freedom, security and prosperity to our respective peoples and to the world. At the heart of the European Union politics are the people and I would like to further enhance the cultural and social basis for the EU - Brazil relationship. I believe that our website will bring the European Union closer to the Brazilian public. I hope that you will find the information on this website interesting and useful, and that you will become our frequent visitor.
Ana Paula Zacarias

AHRQPatient Safety and Medical Liability Reform: Putting the Patient FirstBy Carolyn M. Clancy, MD
Recent research shows a significant correlation between the frequency of adverse events and malpractice claims (Greenberg, et al, 2010). Meanwhile, information from patient satisfaction surveys and patient experiences of care have been shown to predict malpractice risk (Fullam, et al, 2009). The rationale behind a new initiative President Obama announced last year builds on the connections between patient safety and medical liability by testing models to enhance patient safety, fairness, and communication.
Eliminating or reducing the risks and hazards in the delivery of care should yield safer care and potentially reduce medical liability claims. President Obama underscored that theme in his address to Congress on September 9, 2009, when he announced his health insurance reform proposals.
I don't believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I've talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs. So I'm proposing that we move forward on a range of ideas about how to put patient safety first and let doctors focus on practicing medicine.
This effort advanced in June when the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) allocated $23 million in grants to support efforts by states and health systems to create or implement and evaluate patient safety approaches and medical liability reforms. An additional $2 million was allocated to evaluate the overall knowledge that is gained from this initiative. The grants test models that: • put patient safety first and work to reduce preventable injuries; • foster better communication between doctors and their patients; • ensure that patients are compensated in a fair and timely manner for medical injuries, while also reducing the incidence of frivolous lawsuits; and • reduce liability premiums.Many of the grants in this initiative, the largest federal investment of its kind, focus on reducing harm and medical liability in healthcare settings. This approach is of particular interest for patient safety and quality improvement officers, medical directors, and providers working on the front lines of patient care. Just as previous AHRQ grants and programs help healthcare providers improve care quality today, the approaches being tested under this initiative may provide healthcare organizations and states with approaches that can improve patient safety and lower medical liability claims in the future.
The Patient Safety and Medical Liability Disconnect Despite the national attention that was given to patient safety in the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, To Err Is Human, the problems associated with injury and harm due to process of care persist. More than 15% of patients receiving hospital care are harmed by the process of care they receive (National Healthcare Quality Report, 2009).
The U. S. medical liability system is designed both to compensate patients who suffer injury because of medical negligence and to reduce the likelihood of patients being harmed in the future (Hellinger, et al., 2009). Yet the system has not performed adequately on these goals. Only 22 cents of every dollar spent settling a medical liability claim is spent on compensating patients, studies show (Rubin, et al, 2007). Patients who are seriously harmed from the process of care often wait for years before receiving compensation. Meanwhile, many physicians believe medical liability concerns force them to order unnecessary tests and practice so-called defensive medicine. There is also varied experience with local and state patient safety and medical liability reform efforts. Disagreement also exists over solutions to fix the problems (Hellinger, et al., 2009).
The most significant concerns revolve around patient safety, the impact of medical liability on healthcare costs, provider access to liability coverage, and the administrative burden of litigation. To address these areas, states and health systems have implemented or considered reforms including full disclosure/early-offer programs, monetary caps on damage awards, and pre-trial screening panels. However, AHRQ researchers reviewing the impact of these approaches found "little solid evidence" about the impact of medical liability reforms on the cost of care and even less information about the impact of these reforms on patient safety (Hellinger, et al, 2009). Furthermore, the medical liability system may actually hamper progress on patient safety by dissuading physicians from disclosing and examining the root causes of medical errors (Studdert, et al, 2004).
Linking Patient Safety and Medical Liability Solutions The goal of the Patient Safety and Medical Liability Reform Initiative is improving the overall quality of healthcare by making patient safety the primary goal. In doing so, the effort aims to connect medical liability to patient safety and quality, while bridging the differences that highlight the punitive and individualistic approach of tort law with the non-punitive, systems-oriented approach embraced by the patient safety movement.
The programs under the initiative acknowledge limitations of the current medical liability system. Among the 20 grants, some support the development of state-endorsed evidence-based care guidelines, the promotion of transparency and enhanced communication between providers and patients, and early disclosure and offers of prompt compensation.
The goals of other grants include: • Filling the evidence gap regarding the impact of patient safety and litigation rates of programs aimed to enhance communication, transparency, and event disclosure. The same grant will evaluate the impact on medical liability and patient safety of extending an existing events disclosure program from an academic hospital setting to community hospitals.• Reviewing the use of a disclosure and compensation model, which promptly informs and compensates injured patients and families. The effort also sets out to identify best practices for using disclosure to improve patient safety and disseminating best practices to serve patients' needs. • Improving patient safety and empowering patients to participate in their care by developing and implementing patient-friendly shared decision-making tools and processes for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.• Protecting obstetrical and surgery patients from injuries caused by providers' errors and reducing the cost of medical malpractice through the use of an expanded court-directed alternative dispute resolution model currently used in New York State courts. • Engaging clinicians, patients, malpractice insurers, and the Massachusetts State Department of Public Health to ensure more timely resolution of medical errors that occur in outpatient practices and improve communication in all aspects of care.
Building on a Strong FoundationAHRQ has a robust track record of encouraging the implementation of safe practices in healthcare facilities and organizations, as well as producing and disseminating tools and resources to support safe practices.
AHRQ and the Department of Defense (DoD), for example, developed an evidence-based curriculum and training support for teamwork improvement called TeamSTEPPS. Improved teamwork has been shown to decrease the incidence of injury and reduce medical liability claims in labor and delivery units. (Mann, et al, 2006). Simulation used in conjunction with improved teamwork has shown to make dramatic improvements, especially in high-risk areas such as labor and delivery.
Another proven patient safety program funded by AHRQ, the Keystone Project, is being expanded on a national basis. Keystone helped 100 Michigan intensive care units reduce the rate of bloodstream infections from intravenous lines by two-thirds within 3 months—and sustained those large reductions for 5 years. The project will allow hospitals in 50 states to reduce bloodstream and other healthcare-associated infections that endanger patients in ICUs and other units.
Meanwhile, AHRQ has played a major role in supporting the work of Patient Safety Organizations. PSOs, authorized under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005, improve quality and safety through the collection and analysis of data on patient events. They provide privilege and confidentiality to providers and healthcare organizations reporting those events.
ConclusionThe Patient Safety and Medical Liability Initiative builds on the experiences and insights of these and other efforts. We are optimistic that the AHRQ-funded projects will produce measurable improvements in safety for patients and help bring rationality and fairness to our medical liability system. Projects will be rigorously evaluated to develop the evidence base that will inform long-term solutions to the medical liability problem, and to help healthcare organizations implement beneficial reforms.
A decade following our national awakening to the magnitude of the patient safety crisis, solutions that emphasize improvements in processes of care and the safety of each patient may finally be in sight.

2.3 How to use text to good effect Two aspects of the use of text are: How to ensure that your text is legible. How to write text that suits the medium. We consider the first of these in this section. We do not cover how to write English that is appropriate for your particular readers here. However, it is important to ensure that your text does not contain words or expressions that may be unclear to your readers. You must select text that is meaningful
7 The PDCA cycle In Section 5 you were introduced to the nine-stage ISMS planning process advocated by the Standard. You have also, in Sections 5 and 6, looked in some detail at some of these stages – those comprising the ISMS documentation and asset identification tasks. However, an ISMS must not only be planned, it must also be implemented, operated, monitored, reviewed, maintained and improved. Part 2 of the Standard provides guidance on these processes, which it suggests should be undertaken follo
Other approaches to information security management Many of the approaches to planning an ISMS to be found in the literature follow a three-phase, rather than a four-task, approach. For instance, Moses (1994) stipulates seven steps in three phases: initiation: the identification of information assets and their security requirements; analysis: the identification of possible risks to the security requirements of information assets, of the vulnerabilities to those risks, and
2.3 Trojans The term Trojan comes from the Greek legend about the fall of the city of Troy. The story goes that, during the seige of the city by the Greeks, a huge, hollow wooden horse was left in front of the gates. The inhabitants thought that it was a peace offering from the Greek army and dragged it into the city. Unknown to them, it was being used to conceal Greek soldiers, who were thus able to use this Trojan horse to enter the city and open the gates for the rest of their army. 2.1 What is a virus? A virus is a piece of computer code – a program – that has been written to gain access to files or programs on your computer. The virus may enter your computer via floppy disk, by email or by your Internet connection. It will look at the files on your computer and infect some of them if it can. Introduction
The World Wide Web is a vast information resource. This unit will provide you with the foundation skills to use search engines confidently to locate both information and images on the Web. You will also learn how to critically assess and reference the information you have found for study purposes. Unit summary In this unit, the emphasis has been on devices communicating with each other in networks. You were introduced to some general principles about signals and networks, and the differences between wired and wireless networks. You met some of the network technologies in common use (Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth), before looking more closely at specific applications (smart homes, RFID systems) for networked devices. But we have barely had time to scratch the surface of what these technologies offer 4.9 Bluetooth The driving force for the development of the Bluetooth standard was to eliminate the need for connecting wires between local ICT devices such as keyboards, monitors, printers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), cell phones and headsets. This was already possible using infrared technology, but the requirement for line-of-sight positioning between the communicating interfaces limits infrared's usefulness. Because Bluetooth uses radio waves, Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other wit 4.7 WiFi data rates and operating range Just as for Ethernet, developments in technology have increased the achievable data rates since the first WiFi standard was developed in 1997. At the time of writing, the latest WiFi standard to be published – IEEE 802.11g – defines a data rate of 54 Mbps. 4.5 WiFi network structure A WiFi network can operate in one of two different modes: ad hoc mode or infrastructure mode
In an ad hoc network, stations communicate with each other directly, without the need for any intermediary or central control. This means that when one WiFi device comes within range of another, a direct communication channel can be set up between them. This is known as peer-to-peer communication. Additional devices can join the network, all communicating with each o 4.4 An introduction to WiFi WiFi (from 'Wireless Fidelity') is used to connect devices together in one of two network configurations known as 'ad hoc' and 'infrastructure'. We shall explain these terms shortly. (As a starting point, though, you could look up the terms 'ad hoc' and 'infrastructure' in your dictionary.) In wireless LANs, nodes are usually referred to as stations – probably because each communicating device acts as a radio station with transmitter and receiver. These func 5.2 An example In order to complete this section I shall present a simple example. This is loosely based on one described in [1], currently one of the very few books written on JavaSpaces technology. An object that can be stored in a space has to implement an interface . The objects that form part of the example will just 2.2 Fixed and adaptive protocols The protocol described above for a simple naming service is an example of a fixed protocol. This is a protocol whose vocabulary is fixed: it is embedded in the client and server's code and data and does not change. An adaptive protocol is one where the protocol changes. A fixed protocol could change over a period of time because the functionality provided by a server changes. However, this change will be over months or years rather than over seconds. There are some instances wher 5.5 Problems with transactions A distributed transaction is a sequence of operations applied to a number of distributed databases which form a single functional step. For example, a transaction which moves an amount of money from a customer's account to an account owned by the same customer is an example of a transaction. It consists of two operations: the operation of debiting one account and the operation of crediting another account. There are a number of problems associated with distributed transactions. This section w What is language?: an applied linguistic perspective 4.3.1 Start writing Using the format of introduction, main body and conclusion outlined in Section 3, write up your answer to the question. 4.2.4 Plan your time When planning to use the time available, you should: make sure that you are answering the right number of questions divide your time according to the weighting of the questions write down the finishing time for each question try to allow for 10 minutes checking time at the end. Stick to your plan. Evidence indicates that two half-answered questions obtain more marks than one completed 3.6.3 Making audio tapes Why not try recording material from your summary sheets, or cards, onto audio tape? Students who have a strong auditory memory find information sticks if they hear it rather than read it. You could play the tape back to yourself when travelling by train or car. 1 Revision and exams Most likely, you are reading this unit because you feel unsure about your ability to do yourself justice in exams. You may never have taken an exam and are wondering how to prepare yourself. It may have been a long time since you took an exam, and you feel a need to refresh your technique. You may be looking for reassurance and advice because you may have had a bad exam experience in the past. Whatever your reason, we hope that this unit will help. This unit is a practical one, and we w 3.1 Introduction This section is the second step in using learning to help you achieve your own personal goals for change and development. This second step is really about developing additional ways to build on the evidence you gathered about yourself in Section 2. In particular it considers how other people can help you change. There are two main aspects to this. The first is about involving other people so that you can get feedback from them and increase the depth of your own self-understanding. The second
Activity 17: exploratory
This unit serves as an introduction to the discipline of applied linguistics. It examines what is meant by 'language', what its main characteristics are, and how human language differs from communication between other animals. It also asks whether theoretical knowledge about language can be applied to professional practice.Author(s):

I would like to run linear regression over a multi-dimensional data set. There exist differences among different dimensions in terms of their magnitude of order. For instance, dimension 1 generally has value range of [0, 1], and dimension 2 has value range of [0, 1000].
Do I need to do any transformation to ensure the data ranges for different dimensions are in the same scale? If it has to, are there any guidance for this kind of transformation?

Last week, I gave a short talk at the London Ruby User Group that I titled "Avoiding API Library Antipatterns". It's really about what not to do when you're writing a library to use Flickr's API (although I think there's a lot you can learn for any RESTian service provider from the experience). You can see the slides at Slideshare and there's even a video of the talk at Skills Matter, who hosted the event.
So, what was the gist? Rather than writing lots of boilerplate code to handle every Flickr method, and wrap the returned XML into objects, instead use a generic caller and JSON to eliminate much of your work. If you're able to, use reflection to provide convenience methods. As a result, I use flickraw, because it's the only Ruby library I've seen that does things this way.
One of the weakest points of the talk was that I didn't cover how Flickr's responses don't just change when the API changes. Most methods take the 'extras' parameter, which allows you to flesh out the returned data with additional fields, such as the dates the photo was taken and uploaded. Naive libaries require patching to deal with this; smart ones, handing back the response with minimal changes, don't.
I also shied away from explicitly putting in the slides many of the recent projects I've built, including where? what? when? and the machine tag browser, which rely on using new API methods. If you're stuck behind a poor library, there are cool toys you won't be able to write without fighting it, and software's meant to help, not be hateful.
The talk itself was surprisingly quick to deliver; I blew through the slides in ten minutes, allowing lots of time for questions, which were (thankfully) interesting and insightful. The suggested use of method-missing to provide syntactic sugar (calling flickr.photos.search not flickr.call(flickr.photos.search), for example) if an API doesn't provide reflection (or if the library author wants to avoid having to fetch method information) sticks in my mind as a point that's worth repeating.
This was my first talk to a language-specific group outside Perl, and I'm fairly happy with how it went, so thanks to LRUG for listening and being so welcoming, and I hope readers here also get something out of the talk.

Summer gives Julie a Locket with Marissa's Picture-Season 4: The End's Not Near, It's Here
I thought I'd upload this scene because for whatever reason, it makes me teary eyed every time. We see how Julie's character changed and finally realized the things that are most important in life: family, friends, and true love (not love for money as she used to obsess over in the past). It was also nice to see a strong bond between mother of Marissa and Summer, who was Marissa's best friend. When Summer opens up the locket, that's when I start crying. Man, I really miss this show, and the last episode was filled with so many touching moments that I get a bit of nastalgia just uploading this stuff. Enjoy OC fans!!!! :-)

your interpretation of the W3C spec seems to be wrong.
"The change event occurs when a control loses the input focus and its value has been modified since gaining focus. This event is valid for INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA. element."
As written in the specs, an event has to be triggered when the value has changed AND (not OR !!) the focus has been removed. As the testcase shows, the .blur() method triggers a second change-event instead of a blur-event, allthough the value of the control HAS NOT changed since the first event.
So I still think, this is a bug.

Just trying to better understand your issue after reading your latest comment. My understanding of the spec isn't flawed, I simply made a mistake in how I was assessing the test case's behaviour. Thanks for being patient and persistant.
I suspect that _something_ is causing "change" and "submit" special events to somehow double their efforts, causing the two change events... in a way that was not previously occurring.
@timmywil, I can confirm this behaviour but in Chrome 12

Here's a test case that doesn't use jQuery and demonstrates the same problem on Chrome 13 Windows.
Given their quick development and upgrade pace it doesn't make sense for jQuery to invest time working around this somehow, since the patch will be unneeded a few months after they fix it.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

Cap'n Crunch French Toast. Guy Fieri is a huge tool, but he wasn't wrong about this plate. So very tasty.
Welp, I'm eating lunch at Panera… so I guess I won't be making my mortgage payment this month.
Hello this is very important. What flavor of Dippin' Dots do I want when I try them for the first time? I like most ice cream product flavors with the exception of anything simulating the essence of banana. Thank you.
Asked by lafix
My favorite flavor is definitely Rainbow Ice, which isn't actually ice cream, it's like a frozen Italian ice sort of thing. In fact, I prefer all of the …Ice flavors to the more traditional ice cream flavors.
However, if you insist on starting with an ice cream flavor, then I'd recommend you go with something simple, avoiding any of the options that include chunks of foreign treats - that means… no cookie dough, cookie bits, or brownie bits. A good place to start is straight up Chocolate, Vanilla, or Mint Chocolate.
Today we made Nutella-Stuffed Brown Butter + Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies.
They're every bit as delicious as you're imagining.
Poutine for lunch > whatever you had for lunch. (at Le Petit Poutine)
Yes. #favorite #rochester #bejealous (Taken with Instagram at Monte Alban Mexican Grill)
I made another batch of Rachel's delicious White Chicken Chili, but I made it vegetarian by replacing the chicken with two chopped potatoes and using a veggie bullion cube. I also added a chopped yellow pepper for some extra density, and topped it with my favorite Queso Fresco cheese.
It's perfectly spicy. It bites you but doesn't linger too long. OM to the NOM NOM NOM.
Now I have a lot of leftovers. I'll freeze some and eat the rest throughout the week.
Why haven't you made this for yourself yet? Just 30 minutes of prep and you'll be eating within 90. Do it!
Besides strawberry and cucumber, what else goes in that there smoothie?
Asked by saidme
Strawberry Cucumber Smoothie (via Joy the Baker)
- a heaping 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup cold almond milk
- half an English (hot house) cucumber, deseeded and chopped into large chunks
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
- a squeeze of lemon if you'd like
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend! Add more almond milk as necessary, depending on your desired consistency. You can also enjoy the smoothie made with frozen blueberries or blackberries.
It was delicious! I didn't have almond milk on hand so I used my standard 1% cow milk… I imagine it will taste even better when I use almond milk. I also just used a standard Burpless cucumber (peeled) because that's what my garden is giving me on an almost daily basis. Also: I like things sweet so I went with ~2 tablespoons of honey and ~1 tablespoon of Agave nectar, but if I had the almond milk I probably would've skipped the Agave.
I think I'll be drinking a lot of these in the coming weeks while I struggle to keep up with my garden's cucumber output.
What is a fairly "normal" food that you would be unwilling to eat for even $2000?
Asked by wordishness
I've thought about this for a few days and I don't think there is anything "normal" I wouldn't eat for $2000.
It would help to know what you consider "normal." Seafood and mushrooms are pretty much the only common foods that I absolutely do not ever eat, but I'd probably make an exception for $2k.
White Chicken Chili with sliced Queso Fresco
Today I made a Big-ass Pot of White Chicken Chili based on Rachel's recipe.
It's absolutely delicious but I should've halved the recipe because this is way too much food for someone who lives alone.
Spicy up-front but doesn't linger. Hearty. Healthy. Highly recommended. A+. Would cook again.
Thanks Rachel!

They've been on sale (20% off) all summer. The sale ends on September 10th. I'm raiding local Wegmans stores to stock up. This pile should last me until at least September 11th.
Stop judging me, Judgey McJudgerson!
Dear Danny Wegman,
Well now, this is a bit awkward.
I wrote to you last month expressing my intentions to marry one of your Cinnamon Chip muffins. An intention upon which I pursued with great intensity and passion. Our love, however, was fleeting. It lasted mere minutes, and a few hours later - with her unfortunate passing - it was over.
And so I write to you today to express my undying love for your One Layer Fruit Topped Shortcake. Like her muffin cousin before, she has stolen my heart, but this time it has been lovingly covered with the lightest whipped cream this side of heaven and the sweetest fruit this side of hell, and gently rested upon a bed of fluffy vanilla cake. When I am with her, there is no other cake in this world of ours. Our bond is delicious and strong and I would follow her to the furthest reaches of our universe just for the opportunity to feel her sweetly caress my tastebuds.
Please understand that, like those before, our love will also be fleeting. But our brief time together will be measured among the greatest love affairs that have ever been known, and when it has run its course she will softly be delivered back from whence she came.
Yours with utmost respect,
Stages of a Steelopus Fajita Quesadilla.
Tortilla > Black Bean Dip > Shredded Mexican Blend > Poblano+Onion+Tomato
katydidsays replied to your post: GodDAMN!
Start with a solid base tortilla. My tortilla of choice is the Chi-Chi's Flour Tortilla - Burrito Size. Cheap, simple, and a perfect size when folded in half:
Next I apply a thin layer of Wegmans Black Bean Dip. This I find to be a great light base that helps things stick together as well as adding a nice flavor and a little bit of kick:
Then I apply a layer of Wegmans Mexican Cheese, Fancy Shredded. There's room for improvement here if you want to go big and buy some Mexican Queso and shred it yourself, but this works just fine and is much quicker:
And finally there is the Wegmans Tangy Marinated Chicken Breast Cutlets. I grill them up on my George Foreman grill and then thinly slice them. Each cutlet yields enough meat for at least two quesadillas. These have just the right flavor built-in, but you could use whatever you like:
I use a Calphalon 11-in Square Griddle for cooking:
- Warm it up on medium heat.
- Spread a thin layer of Black Bean Dip onto a tortilla and then put it on the pan.
- Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of cheese and spread evenly on the base.
- Add chicken to one half of the base (semi-circle).
- Increase the heat slightly and cook flat, checking the bottom frequently.
- When you see the tortilla begin to brown, fold the cheese-only side over on top of the chicken-side.
- Continue cooking until each side is evenly browned and slightly crispy.
- Remove from griddle and stand it vertically inside some crunched-up aluminum foil. This will allow the quesadilla to evenly cool and stay crispy without one side becoming soft from steam (remember, we're making quesadilla's here, not soft tacos!).
- Serve whole, or use a pizza cutter to slice it into triangles. Whole is better for quesadillas with many ingredients, as they tend to get messy when they're overfilled and the structure is lost.
- I usually include either a bowl of Black Bean Dip or a nice standard Green Tomatillo Salsa Verde for topping/dipping, but usually the quesadillas are good enough on their own.
That's the basic standard quesadilla.
I often add the following ingredients in various combinations. These are what take the quesadillas from just "great" to "truly delicious":
- Black Beans (canned are fine)
- Corn (frozen in the steamable bags)
- Black Olives (sliced)
- Onions and Peppers (grilled/stir fried)
- Scrambled Eggs (adding a little taco sauce to the mix)
When all is said and done you've got a quick, tasty, and not-unhealthy meal that can be varied depending on what ingredients you've got on hand.

Miners fire rockets at police
Wed, 20 Jun 2012 7:10 AMRioting coal miners fired rockets at Spanish police who responded with rubber bullets on Tuesday as weeks of protests against cuts to mine subsidies turned increasingly violent.
Some 200 masked miners clashed with riot police in Cinera, one of several northern mining villages where protests have rumbled for more than a month against the cuts which unions say threaten tens of thousands of jobs.
The clashes broke out when police tried unsuccessfully to remove one of several barricades erected and set on fire by the miners across a major highway near the village, which turned into a riot zone as cops chased protesters.
The protests were unusually fierce by the standard of social demonstrations over recent months. Several men fired rockets from home-made bazookas at police and others hurled firecrackers and launched stones with slingshots.
Police with bullet-proof vests and riot shields retaliated by firing rubber bullets and smoke bombs, before withdrawing as some protestors remained at the scene throwing firecrackers and stones.
"We will not stop," several miners chanted. "They will get tired before we do."
Seven people were injured in various other clashes on Friday. On Monday, tens of thousands of people marched in the northern towns of Leon and Langreo during a sector-wide strike called in dozens of mining towns.
Spain's cash-strapped central government has slashed subsidies to the coal sector this year to €111-million ($142-million) from €301-million last year, part of wide-ranging cuts to lower its deficit.
Unions say the subsidy cuts will destroy the coal mines, which rely on state aid to compete with cheaper imports, and threaten the jobs of around 8000 coal miners and up to 30 000 other people indirectly employed by the sector.

Topic: Auction Tour for Arts
Auctions in Buenos Aires are a great option for collectors, art and antique dealers and gallery owners from around the globe.
The fact that Latin American art is growing worldwide in terms of prestige and acceptance is clear to us all. During the late 90s it was Christie's auction house the pioneer who saw the market evolution line in the world of Latin American Art, Antiques and Collectibles. Back then the major and oldest auction house in the world and Argentina's finest and most traditional auction house Naon, joined ventures to work in the local market. Since then, several auctioneers from around the globe began to work in the country. Sotheby's owns an auction house in Buenos Aires, working very well.
This Years 2007 Calender is full of Local auctioneers such as Arroyo Gallery, Roldan, Bullrich, Banco Ciudad Auctions, as well as Sarachaga –just to mention some- are working strongly in the local and international scene.
To buyers around the globe, Latin American auction houses are appearing more appealing by the minute, not only for the broader of the options, but also for the favorable exchange rates with European and American currencies. All in all, buying art and antiques in South America and Argentina in particular isn't free of rules and paperwork to handle. There are specific regulations to follow, licenses are required and know how involved in acquiring and exporting art. Up coming auctions in the City of Buenos Aires, Naon will be and will have on Show part of Mr Arturo Paz Anchorena's collection, on the 29 of June, 2007. Roldan has an auction in June under preparation and will be giving the date soon. Like wise Arroyo is preparing its June and July Auction with no date as far as today……. Martin Sarachaga is having an a exposition for its future auction on the 5 of July 2007. And Sarachaagas expositions will be on the 12 to 16 of July and its auction on the 17 to 18 of July, seems that it will be a large one.

Aug 30th, 2011Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.

Tutorial Details
- Difficulty: Beginner
- Completion Time: 30 Minutes
Flask is a small and powerful web framework for Python. It's easy to learn and simple to use, enabling you to build your web app in a short amount of time.
In this article, I'll show you how to build a simple website, containing two static pages with a small amount of dynamic content. While Flask can be used for building complex, database-driven websites, starting with mostly static pages will be useful to introduce a workflow, which we can then generalize to make more complex pages in the future. Upon completion, you'll be able to use this sequence of steps to jumpstart your next Flask app.
Installing Flask
Before getting started, we need to install Flask. Because systems vary, things can sporadically go wrong during these steps. If they do, like we all do, just Google the error message or leave a comment describing the problem.
Install virtualenv
Virtualenv is a useful tool that creates isolated Python development environments where you can do all your development work.
We'll use virtualenv to install Flask. Virtualenv is a useful tool that creates isolated Python development environments where you can do all your development work. Suppose you come across a new Python library that you'd like to try. If you install it system-wide, there is the risk of messing up other libraries that you might have installed. Instead, use virtualenv to create a sandbox, where you can install and use the library without affecting the rest of your system. You can keep using this sandbox for ongoing development work, or you can simply delete it once you've finished using it. Either way, your system remains organized and clutter-free.
It's possible that your system already has virtualenv. Refer to the command line, and try running:
$ virtualenv --version
If you see a version number, you're good to go and you can skip to this "Install Flask" section. If the command was not found, use easy_install
or pip
to install virtualenv. If running Linux or Mac OS X, one of the following should work for you:
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
If you don't have either of these commands installed, there are several tutorials online, which will show you how to install it on your system. If you're running Windows, follow the "Installation Instructions" on this page to get easy_install
up and running on your computer.
Install Flask
After installing virtualenv
, you can create a new isolated development environment, like so:
$ virtualenv flaskapp
Here, virtualenv
creates a folder, flaskapp/, and sets up a clean copy of Python inside for you to use. It also installs the handy package manager, pip
Enter your newly created development environment and activate it so you can begin working within it.
$ cd flaskapp $ . bin/activate
Now, you can safely install Flask:
$ pip install Flask
Setting up the Project Structure
Let's create a couple of folders and files within flaskapp/ to keep our web app organized.
. . ├── app │ ├── static │ │ ├── css │ │ ├── img │ │ └── js │ ├── templates │ ├── routes.py │ └── README.md
Within flaskapp/, create a folder, app/, to contain all your files. Inside app/, create a folder static/; this is where we'll put our web app's images, CSS, and JavaScript files, so create folders for each of those, as demonstrated above. Additionally, create another folder, templates/, to store the app's web templates. Create an empty Python file routes.py for the application logic, such as URL routing.
And no project is complete without a helpful description, so create a README.md file as well.
Now, we know where to put our project's assets, but how does everything connect together? Let's take a look at "Fig. 1″ below to see the big picture:
Fig. 1
- A user issues a request for a domain's root URL
to go to its home page - routes.py maps the URL
to a Python function - The Python function finds a web template living in the templates/ folder.
- A web template will look in the static/ folder for any images, CSS, or JavaScript files it needs as it renders to HTML
- Rendered HTML is sent back to routes.py
- routes.py sends the HTML back to the browser
We start with a request issued from a web browser. A user types a URL into the address bar. The request hits routes.py, which has code that maps the URL to a function. The function finds a template in the templates/ folder, renders it to HTML, and sends it back to the browser. The function can optionally fetch records from a database and then pass that information on to a web template, but since we're dealing with mostly static pages in this article, we'll skip interacting with a database for now.
Now that we know our way around the project structure we set up, let's get started with making a home page for our web app.
Creating a Home Page
When you write a web app with a couple of pages, it quickly becomes annoying to write the same HTML boilerplate over and over again for each page. Furthermore, what if you need to add a new element to your app, such as a new CSS file? You would have to go into every single page and add it in. This is time consuming and error prone. Wouldn't it be nice if, instead of repeatedly writing the same HTML boilerplate, you could define your page layout just once, and then use that layout to make new pages with their own content? This is exactly what web templates do!
Web templates are simply text files that contain variables and control flow statements (
, etc), and end with an.html
The variables are replaced with your content, when the web template is evaluated. Web templates remove repetition, separate content from design, and make your application easier to maintain. In other, simpler words, web templates are awesome and you should use them! Flask uses the Jinja2 template engine; let's see how to use it.
As a first step, we'll define our page layout in a skeleton HTML document layout.html and put it inside the templates/ folder:
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>Flask App</title>

Flask App

 {% block content %} {% endblock %}

This is simply a regular HTML file…but what's going on with the {% block content %}{% endblock %}
part? To answer this, let's create another file home.html:
{% extends "layout.html" %} {% block content %}

Welcome to the Flask app

This is the home page for the Flask app

 {% endblock %}
The file layout.html defines an empty block, named content
, that a child template can fill in. The file home.html is a child template that inherits the markup from layout.html and fills in the "content" block with its own text. In other words, layout.html defines all of the common elements of your site, while each child template customizes it with its own content.
This all sounds cool, but how do we actually see this page? How can we type a URL in the browser and "visit" home.html? Let's refer back to Fig. 1. We just created the template home.html and placed it in the templates/ folder. Now, we need to map a URL to it so we can view it in the browser. Let's open up routes.py and do this:
from flask import Flask, render_template app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/') def home(): return render_template('home.html') if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True)
That's it for routes.py
. What did we do?
- First. we imported the Flask class and a function
. - Next, we created a new instance of the Flask class.
- We then mapped the URL
to the functionhome()
. Now, when someone visits this URL, the functionhome()
will execute. - The function
uses the Flask functionrender_template()
to render the home.html template we just created from the templates/ folder to the browser. - Finally, we use
to run our app on a local server. We'll set thedebug
flag totrue
, so we can view any applicable error messages if something goes wrong, and so that the local server automatically reloads after we've made changes to the code.
We're finally ready to see the fruits of our labor. Return to the command line, and type:
$ python routes.py
Visit http://localhost:5000/ in your favorite web browser.
When we visited http://localhost:5000/, routes.py had code in it, which mapped the URL /
to the Python function home()
. home()
found the web template home.html in the templates/ folder, rendered it to HTML, and sent it back to the browser, giving us the screen above.
Pretty neat, but this home page is a bit boring, isn't it? Let's make it look better by adding some CSS. Create a file, main.css, within static/css/, and add these rules:
body { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #444; } /* * Create dark grey header with a white logo */ header { background-color: #2B2B2B; height: 35px; width: 100%; opacity: .9; margin-bottom: 10px; } header h1.logo { margin: 0; font-size: 1.7em; color: #fff; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; } header h1.logo:hover { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } /* * Center the body content */ .container { width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; } div.jumbo { padding: 10px 0 30px 0; background-color: #eeeeee; -webkit-border-radius: 6px; -moz-border-radius: 6px; border-radius: 6px; } h2 { font-size: 3em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: center; letter-spacing: -2px; } h3 { font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: 100; margin-top: 30px; text-align: center; letter-spacing: -1px; color: #999; }
Add this stylesheet to the skeleton file layout.html so that the styling applies to all of its child templates by adding this line to its  element:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/main.css') }}">;
We're using the Flask function, url_for
, to generate a URL path for main.css from the static folder. After adding this line in, layout.html should now look like:
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>Flask</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/main.css') }}">

Flask App

 {% block content %} {% endblock %}

Let's switch back to the browser and refresh the page to view the result of the CSS.
That's more like it! Now, when we visit http://localhost:5000/, routes.py still maps the URL /
to the Python function home()
, and home()
still finds the web template home.html in the templates/ folder. But, since we added the CSS file main.css, the web template home.html looks in static/ to find this asset, before rendering to HTML and being sent back to the browser.
We've achieved a lot so far. We started with Fig. 1 by understanding how Flask works, and now we've seen how it all plays out, by creating a home page for our web app. Let's move on and create an About page.
Creating an About Page
In the previous section, we created a web template home.html by extending the skeleton file layout.html. We then mapped the URL /
to home.html in routes.py so we could visit it in the browser. We finished things up by adding some styling to make it look pretty. Let's repeat that process again to create an about page for our web app.
We'll begin by creating a web template, about.html, and putting it inside the templates/ folder.
{% extends "layout.html" %} {% block content %}
About

This is an About page for the Intro to Flask article. Don't I look good? Oh stop, you're making me blush.
 {% endblock %}
Just like before with home.html, we extend from layout.html, and then fill the content
block with our custom content.
In order to visit this page in the browser, we need to map a URL to it. Open up routes.py and add another mapping:
from flask import Flask, render_template app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/') def home(): return render_template('home.html') @app.route('/about') def about(): return render_template('about.html') if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True)
We mapped the URL /about
to the function about()
. Now we can open up the browser and go to http://localhost:5000/about and check out our newly created page.
Adding Navigation
Most websites have links to their main pages within the header or footer of the document. These links are usually visible across all pages of a website. Let's open up the skeleton file, layout.html. and add these links so they show up in all of the child templates. Specifically, let's add a  element inside the  element:
...

Flask App

Home

About

  ...
Once again, we use the Flask function url_for
to generate URLs.
Next, add some more style rules to main.css to make these new navigation elements look good:
... /* * Display navigation links inline */ .menu { float: right; margin-top: 8px; } .menu li { display: inline; } .menu li + li { margin-left: 35px; } .menu li a { color: #999; text-decoration: none; }
Finally, open up the browser and refresh http://localhost:5000/ to see our newly added navigation links.
Over the course of this article, we built a simple web app with two, mostly static, pages. In doing so, we learned a workflow that can be used to create more complex websites with dynamic content. Flask is a simple, but powerful framework that enables you to efficiently build web apps. Go ahead – check it out!

Long Wearing, Super Moisturizing
This is my favorite lipgloss. It is long wearing and feels delicious on the lips. It is beautifully pigmented and the frost particles feel soft, NOT gritty nor sandy like many other brands. It feels slightly tacky which I prefer so that it does not slip and slide off of my lips. Simply perfect!
I love it so much! It's not the cheapest lipgloss I could find but it's a beautiful pigmented colour that stays so long! It seems like it never fades. Worth the price a thousand times
I love this shade! ❤
I'd been trying to find a nice darker lip color that was easy to apply and looked sleek. I found both of these in this gloss! It had a nice smell to it and has no funny taste. I have had several bad experiences with runny lip gloss. The color stays on for a long time, meaning the tube itself will last. This was my first Armour Beauty product and I cannot wait to try more of their products!
opaque and perfect
My favorite nude lipstick had broken and I was searching for a new alternative to try. I saw this super opaque gloss on beautylish and needed to try it! I ordered one and what can I say....I am in love! I wear it alone or over a light pink lipstick to give a little more color and voila. It's amazing :)
Love it!
When I saw this color I knew I had to have it! The unique magenta color with blue undertones is wonderful on. This product is like a lipstick lipgloss. The colors are highly pigmented and long wearing. It goes on beautifully and is silky and smells great. No funky taste. These are so great I lurched Anne Margaret which s now my new summer go to color. Can't wait to get other colors.
Love this intense and very rich shade! Definitely lip gloss that goes on like lipstick!
Because this is my first Armour product, I was just assuming that this would be one of those lip glosses brands that didn't have a great first coat or good coating at all. Well, Armour proved me wrong! This lip gloss has an amazing consistency and has so much moisture that there's no need to put a second coat on... AT ALL! And specifically this color, I love this dark pink-red! I've received so many compliments at my work place that I love putting on this lip gloss before I walk into work. Great glossy and rich coating, love the rich and intense color, and can't wait to buy my next lip gloss from Armour!
I am not one to go ga-ga over products and recommend them to everyone, let alone say they are worth every penny. However, this is the exception. I love this gloss! And this color is impeccable for an uber-sexy Pin-Up look. The saturation and texture are like butter! It stains very well and is so rich, creamy, shiny, just lovely.
Milky Baby Pink Gloss
I absolutely Love Amour Beauty Glosses because of their rich pigmentation, creamy moisturizing formula and lasting power. Divine is a beautiful milky pink color and it is the perfect stand alone gloss and makes a great topper to any lipstick you'd like to add shine, lock in color or lighten color up a bit!

For the person wanting Michael fanart! I drew this a while back as a pinup, haha.
"This is so demeaning, Harry."
"Yeah, you're right, Murph. I'll just put you down and you can walk on that broken ankle."
"Just shut up, Dresden."
(PS, You could also reblog the original, which is on my blog, posted about a week ago)
California artist Sam Sutherland created this piece by carving old stone.
The model for this piece was - as the artist put it - "…in my head, specifically the character 'Bob' from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series."

Thomas Nelson has released Jenny B. Jones' Charmed Life series in one volume. Now you can get all three of Bella's books in one. This would make a great gift for any female reader—not just teens. Although Jenny writes for teens, she tells a great story, and me and my mom are two of her biggest fans. If you haven't read these books yet, be sure and check out this new volume.
Well, in the broader sense, the phrase Hot Buttons means a lot of different things, anything really, that can get a rise out people. Something that charges them up and receives an intense reaction. For the purposes of Choose NOW Ministries, I've defined hot buttons as those tough issues that teenagers face–the things parents are often more afraid of and most hesitant to talk about.
Now, this is what has been missing from bookstore shelves! John Otte's Failstate combines mystery, action, humor, romance, and faith all in one rip-roaring superhero tale. Readers will cheer for Failstate—a rookie hero without a license—as he tries to solve a murder, control his unstable powers, and not get voted off the show America's Next Superhero. Otte provides short, cliffhanger chapters, deep characters, and a breathless pace that will keep young readers up all night. I highly recommend this book for everyone. It's that much fun.
But I've got John visiting me today. Welcome, John! Your first novel released last month! Congrats! Share some of the exciting things that you've done during this release time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cloth Diapers
How many diapers should I buy?
According to cloth diapering resource/retailer Cotton Babies, you should start out with 12-18 diapers that will fit your newborn. Older babies need fewer than that. Depending on how often you want to do laundry, prepare for about 8 diaper changes a day, plus whatever you'll use at night.
What else do I need?
A wet bag is good for bringing home a wet diaper or two if you're out for the day. Lots of parents use reusable wipes since these get thrown in the wash along with the diapers. You can pre-moisten and use a wipes warmer or else buy or make a spray to keep next to your stash. You'll also want a diaper pail with a liner that can get tossed into the laundry. And once your baby eats solid food, a diaper sprayer that attaches to your toilet is good for initial de-grossing.
Do I need to wash my diapers before using them?
Most all-in-one diapers need only one wash before use. White prefolds should be washed 3-5 times before use. Unbleached prefolds and hemp diapers will need 5-8 washes in hot water to prevent leaks.
How do I wash diapers at home?
In general:
- Wash on cold.
- Wash again on warm or hot (with detergent both times).
- Add an extra rinse to the second wash. (This can help eliminate odors.)
- Line dry or tumble dry.
- Skip fabric softeners, whiteners, and pure soap.
- Wool covers should be hand-washed in cold and laid flat to dry.
- Check this list of cloth-diaper-friendly detergents.
- Find more tips at Cloth Diaper 101
To minimize environmental impact:
- Wash and dry diapers at home in water no hotter than 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line dry (or at least minimize tumble drying).
- Use a high-efficiency washer and dryer.
- Wash as many diapers at a time as possible.
Are there any good disposable diapers out there?
While no single diapering system comes without flaws, there are some really good disposable diapers that address a number of environmental and health concerns. If you're interested in more natural disposables (gel- and chlorine-free), check Grist's comprehensive review.
One Dad Shows You His Detailed Steps to Cleaning Cloth Diapers
How do I know when to stop using cloth diapers?
One of the oft-heralded pros of cloth diapering is the speedy potty training it can encourage. Toddlers start to feel wet in cloth diapers and become more attuned to when they need to use the potty. You might stop using diapers altogether at an earlier age.
You might want to take breaks from cloth for a long trip or if you use a diaper service at home and don't want to lug all the dirty diapers back with you.
We know moms and dads who've taken breaks from cloth diapering when they needed to eliminate a chore from the list.
Ultimately some families will find that disposables are the right choice. Others are committed to cloth diapering 24/7 from birth to potty training. As a try-as-much-as-I-can-please-don't-judge-me-for-not-doing-more cloth diapering mom, I hope diaper choices aren't just another opportunity for judgment on the playground. If you're up for cloth diapering, give it a try. If you know it's not for your family, let's at least dispose of the guilt.

In a Middle East region beset by trouble, our Columnist manages to stumble upon a shimmer of light in the surrounding darkness
Do you believe in God? Thanks in part to his fourth grade religion teacher in Jordan, our columnist tells you why he does.
Do you think you have heard every possible analysis of the reasons for John Kerry's defeat? Think again …
The author argues that the blame in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq must go beyond the soldiers in the photos. These soldiers "seem to be nothing more than average freaks who escaped from the Jerry Springer show to make a few bucks killing Arabs."
"None of us is buying this whole greater Middle East initiative nonsense. None of us believes that the United States and its British ally have finally realized that they should stop installing and sustaining oppressive regimes in the Middle East, as they have actively done for the last half century."
While the author denounces the silencing of all debate relating to the holocaust in the West, he takes issue with the cause of revisionists, particularly in the Arab world.

NEW YORK — The recession had a strong impact on young Americans, who saw the credit crisis up close: They are taking on less credit-card debt, delaying plans to buy homes and owning fewer cars, according to a new study.
From 2007 to 2010, the median debt of U.S. households headed by people age 35 or younger fell by 29 percent — from $21,912 to $15,473 — while debt of older Americans fell by just 8 percent, to $30,070, according to a Pew Research Center study titled "Young Adults After the Recession."
Residential property accounts for at least 75 percent of average American debt, so much of the drop might be connected to a decrease in home ownership. The number of Americans younger than 35 who own their primary residence dropped to 34 percent in 2011 from 40 percent in 2007, Pew said. Meanwhile, the percentage of homeowners older than 35 fell by 2 percentage points to 72 percent.
"As younger people invest in education and wait longer to enter the work force or start families, that may mean they will wait longer to buy homes," said Richard Fry, a senior economist at Pew and the author of the study.
Young adults are cutting back on credit-card usage as well. Young households with credit-card debt fell by 10 percentage points to 39 percent between 2007 and 2010.
Car ownership is an area in which younger Americans also cut back. The number of households led by adults under 35 with auto debt fell by 12 percent between 2007 and 2010. The typical car loan fell to $10,000 from $13,000.
As unemployment drove many young people to return to school, student debt increased during the recession. By 2010, 40 percent of households headed by young adults had student debt, up from 34 percent in 2007 and 26 percent in 2001.
Squeezed by rising student debt, younger Americans are cutting debt in other areas. Their median level of debt fell to $15,473 in 2010 from $21,912 in 2007.

Hi !
I was just wondering if there is anybody out there who has gotten their USB Port Replicator to show 1440*900. Mine stops at 1280*1024.
I'm running it on a X300 with Vista Ultimate
Please advice !
07-02-2008 12:04 PM - edited 07-02-2008 12:06 PM
Completely different set-up, but yes it supports supports video resolutions up to 1440 x 900 at 60 Hz. Not sure if there is more than one port replicator, so perhaps even your replicator is different. I'd be tempted to start by looking at all the settings in Windows and your Lenovo Thinkpad software. Then perhaps look to update the video driver. Check the specs on all your components to be sure they support video resolutions up to 1440 x 900.
Does this same external monitor work at 1440 x 900 when you connect it directly into the Thinkpad, instead of going through the replicator?
Also are you using the dual video capability of the replicator?
I am having the same problem. Just got an X300 and can't get the USB Replicator Display driver to show 1600x1200 which is optimal (and really the only thing that is workable) on my external Samsung Syncmaster 214T monitor. Have tried every setting possible to make 1600x1200 show as an option with no luck. I am running Vista and my monitor worked find with an earlier Vista machine.
Would really appreciate any insight for fix for this. Thanks.
I must agree to offer such a replicator like this one. Unfortunately you cannot choose any other product and you will be aware of this first after you have bought the brilliant X 300. It is a pity for Lenovo doing this combination.
Hope somebody at this company will read these user notes and we do hope that Lenovo will do something within short.
Just think of all Lenovo X300 users with extra nice Samsungs wide screen monitors every time they will be at the office have to put in all cables at the back! Thought X 300 should bring something better!

Abstract: There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which have been used to develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management Systems (CMS) evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. There are many CMS Like Joomla, Drupal, Mambo, Pligg, Plone, Post Nuke, Tweak, Zope etc., but this paper deals with a comparative analysis between Joomla and Drupal. The goal of this comparative study is to find the better CMS of the two according to various selected criteria. The criteria includes installation, platform support, browser support, modules and extensions, documentation, support, user management, multimedia integration, content creation and searching.

by Free Britney at .Somewhere in a seedy pocket of L.A., a prostitute is walking around wondering why on Earth someone would mug her for her outfit.
Every song Rihanna puts out becomes a hit, but this recent getup certainly doesn't qualify as such. When a good girl goes bad ... sometimes it's really hot (cough, cough, Hayden Panettiere), but other times it's just time to go back.
Rihanna... be lookin' like hell-a... el-la... el-la... eh. eh. eh.
While we give Rihanna mad props for her willingness to actually sing live at the MTV VMAs (talking to you, Britney Spears), he just don't know if looking like Janet Jackson from the Super Bowl is the best move for her at this point.
What's next? Rihanna nude photos showing up on the Internets? Is nothing in this world sacred? Just when you think you've seen it all... Rihanna looks ready to walk the street for money and Oscar De La Hoya wears panties and a tutu.
