BlackBerry sees loss of $950M to $995M, will cut 4,500 jobs
The company released early financial results, and they look pretty terrible.
BlackBerry said on Friday that it expects to lose $950 million to $995 million in the fiscal second quarter and announced a change in strategy amid continued struggles selling its new BlackBerry smartphones.
The company said it would shift its focus toward business and the "prosumer" market, a concession that its BlackBerry 10 smartphones can't compete in the brutal market for consumer smartphones. As part of the change, the company is reducing its smartphone portfolio from six devices to four: two high-end devices and two more-affordable models.
Related stories
BlackBerry expects revenue of $1.6 billion, but the sales figure was worrisome. The company shipped 3.7 million smartphones, a majority of which were made up of the older BlackBerry 7 devices. That's bad news for a company that bet its future on the success of its next-generation BlackBerry 10 platform. The company said 5.9 million smartphones were purchased by consumers.
The company also plans to cut 4,500 jobs, leaving it with 7,000 positions. It expects to reduce its operating expenses by 50 percent by the end of the fiscal first quarter in 2015.
The loss is so heavy because BlackBerry is taking a charge of $930 million to $960 million to reflect a write-down on unsold BlackBerry Z10 smartphones (the Z10 will be moved down to its new low-end phone with the debut of the Z30). It will also include another charge of $72 million to account for continued restructuring efforts.
Excluding the charges, the company expects an adjusted net loss of $250 million to $265 million, or 47 cents to 51 cents a share.
Wall Street analysts, on average, expected a loss of 15 cents a share and revenue of $3.06 billion.
The company ended the second quarter with $2.6 billion.

The Otsiningo Farmers Market sees a great turnout for the opening day. And with the grocery gap in Binghamton farmers continue to emphasize the importance of buying local, maybe even creating a co-op. Our Elyse Mickalonis has more.
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- It isn't easy being a farmer.
"It's all about the weather. It rained a lot last year, ruined a lot of crops," said Kevin Gorman, Gorman Farm. "We lost all our fall crops, because it flooded."
But the weather behaved on Saturday for opening day of the Otsiningo Farmers Market. And even though it's still too early for most produce, people stopped by for herbs, maple syrup and locally-raised meat, among other items.
"Produce, fibers, soaps, honeys, really anything you could think of having at a farmers market we have here," said Erik Krenner, Cross Creek Farm.
Christopher Graham, Binghamton Resident, added, "I appreciate being able to know the people who are growing the things I'm eating."
Farmers said they like to bring wholesome foods directly to families. They even accept food stamps.
"We do accept EBT benefits. So if you get food stamps you can bring your card down and shop with the venders," said Niechelle Wade, Otsiningo Farmers Market President.
Many said there is a big difference between buying local and buying from big stores.
"When you come to the farmers market you're helping to build your local economy. You're spending your dollars with local farmers and they're turning around and spending their dollars within the community," said Wade.
Now driving distance away is Binghamton, which has a grocery gap and it has people talking about developing a food co-op that would only locally produced products will be sold. Something people here said would be a great thing for the community and farms.
"It's always a good idea to expand to people who can't get to you," said Gorman.
Krenner added, "The area itself is becoming more and more knowledgeable about local foods. To have something like that would educate more people."
Fresh food from people who care.
The market will continue to be open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until November 10th, except during Spiedie Fest.

Fleece is a synthetic material that feels lightweight, breathes extremely well, and will still keep you warm even if it gets wet. This combination of traits makes a fleece jacket great for a wide range of activities, and an ideal mid-layer under a shell.
Polyester fleece comes in a variety of numerical and relative weights. The higher the fleece weight the warmer the fleece will feel. A 100-weight microfleece pullover can serve as a thin mid-layer or even a baselayer, while a 300-weight fleece jacket makes an excellent mid-layer on really cold days or an outer layer on days that aren't too windy.
Weather Resistance:
While fleece can be quite warm, it usually doesn't offer much protection against the wind. Some fleece jackets feature a windproof membrane that makes them more versatile and better for use as a primary (outer) layer in cold, windy weather. However, this will also compromise breathability for highly aerobic activities. Many fleece jackets now feature a smooth knit face on the outside that's a touch more weather-resistant than traditional fleece, but just as breathable.

Church Planting
Eastern PA Missions
Reaching Eastern PA Together...One Story at a Time
Eastern PA Missions (EPM) is a cooperative partnership of local churches and individuals in funding, prayer, and other support for establishing new churches across the district.
As the percentage of the total population that is unchurched and dechurched grows, it is critical to the mission Christ gave us that we plant new churches at an accelerating rate. This is why the district, through EPM, has taken significant faith steps in the last few years and now currently funds and otherwise supports eleven church plants from urban centers to small towns across Eastern Pennsylvania.

NETL Technologies Earn Prestigious R&D 100 Awards | ||||
Washington, D.C. —Technologies developed by researchers at the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have captured four prestigious 2009 R&D 100 Awards. Selected by an independent panel of judges and the editors of R&D Magazine, the annual awards are presented to the 100 most technologically significant products to enter the marketplace in the past year. "The Department of Energy's national laboratories are incubators of innovation, and I'm proud they are being recognized once again for their remarkable work," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "The cutting-edge research and development being done in our national labs is vital to maintaining America's competitive edge, increasing our nation's energy security, and protecting our environment. I want to thank this year's winners for their work and congratulate them on this award."According to R&D Magazine, the judges look for products and processes "that can change people's lives for the better" and "improve the standard of living for large numbers of people." NETL's award-winning technologies can be used to remove mercury and carbon dioxide from power plant emissions, detect carbon dioxide leakage from geologic storage formations, and design power plants more quickly, efficiently, and at lower cost. The four new awards push the number of R&D 100 Awards won by NETL researchers and NETL-supported technologies to more than 30 since 2000. NETL's winning technologies are the following:

Family Compositae
The largest family of flowering plants , the Compositae (Asteraceae), comprising about 1,100 genera and more than 20,000 species and characterized by many small flowers arranged in a head looking like a single flower and subtended by an involucre of bracts. A head may consist of both ray flowers and disk flowers, as in the sunflower, of disk flowers only, as in the burdock, or of ray flowers only, as in the dandelion.
Tribe Lactuceae
The Lactuceae are a tribe of closely related genera of the sunflower family that are easily recognized because the flowering heads are composed of wholly of ligulate florets that are usually 5-lobed. Another very distinguishing feature is the milky sap . Although not apparent without magnification, the pollen is distinctive in that the spines are more or less restricted to discrete ridges or flanges on the surface of the grain. In other members of the family the spines are distributed more or less evenly over the surface of the pollen grain . The pappus usually consists of scales or stiff hairs . -- Gerald D. Carr.

Species 60(-2000) : North America, South America, Eurasia
; worldwide weeds
, Taraxacum officinale, T. erythrospermum) .
The type of the genus, Taraxacum officinale, is conserved. This name
is linked to the (very general) description
of Leontodon taraxacum Linnaeus. A. J. Richards (1985) typified T. officinale, via L. taraxacum, on a specimen that is apparently referable to T. campylodes Haglund, a microspecies of sect. Crocea restricted
to Lapland, which thus became the basis of sect. Taraxacum. J. Kirschner and J. Åtepánek (1987) underlined that this typification of T. officinale does not reflect usage
of the name, which raises considerable ambiguity as to its application
, because Richards essentially defined a new content for it. The species usually referred to as T. officinale must now be referred to sect. Ruderalia (Kirschner and Åtepánek) ; no name was proposed that would correspond closely with the species currently called T. officinale. A proposal
to conserve the name T. officinale with a neotype
that would preserve its common usage for this widespread entity
has been suggested; this has yet to be discussed fully.
Taraxacum Zinn (1757) (= Leontodon Linnaeus) is a rejected name
The genus has been monographed by H. Handel-Mazzetti (1907) and by R. Doll (1974) . Infrageneric
has recently been reviewed by A. J. Richards (1985) and by J. Kirschner and J. tepánek (1987, 1997) . The European species were treated by Richards and P. D. Sell (1973) and much work has been done since; there is no overall treatment for Asia; Russian authors
have covered Siberia. The number of species in the genus depends on the disposition of agamic
microspecies within species complexes, which varies greatly among authors, particularly in Europe [e.g., A. A. Dudman and Richards (1997) recognized 105 species for Great Britain and Ireland]. North American
Taraxacum, particularly in the boreal and arctic
zones, has been investigated by numerous
researchers, many of whom incorporated new taxa described by H. Dahlstedt (1906) ; only works touching North America north of Mexico are mentioned here. Obviously, Scandinavian and Russian works also were significant (e.g., Dahlstedt; Doll 1977; M.
L. Fernald 1933; E. L. Greene 1901b; G. Haglund 1943, 1946, 1948, 1949; M. P. Porsild 1930; P. A. Rydberg 1901), but often in a manner limited geographically or taxonomically, and no complete
review exists. Most often, the taxonomy of the genus has been presented within the context of floras
(e.g., S. G. Aiken et al.
, http://www.mun.ca/biology/delta/arcticf/_ca/www/asta.htm, with excellent photographs of Arctic species; T. W. Böcher et al. 1978; A. Cronquist 1955, 1994; Fernald 1950; H. A. Gleason and A. Cronquist 1991; E. Hultén 1955, 1968; A. E. Porsild 1950b, 1957, 1964; A. E. Porsild and W. J. Cody 1980; H. J. Scoggan 19781979, part 4; Rydberg 1900c) . The result of all these efforts
has not been a clarification of the North American situation, but rather a taxonomy and nomenclature in utter confusion (Cronquist 1994) . The current
treatment does not solve all nomenclatural
and taxonomic
problems, many of which will depend for their ultimate
solution on work done in Europe.
I have adopted a broad definition
of Taraxacum species for North America, broader at least than what is usually seen in European treatments. For instance, the species most familiar to North Americans were introduced
from Europe (T. officinale and T. erythrospermum; see below for a justification of the use of these names), possibly several times, and represent variable agamic complexes, but this variation
appears continuous and multidimensional. There seems to be no utility for the users
in describing a multitude of narrowly defined microspecies. For the native
arctic and western alpine
species, the impact
of the Pleistocene
glaciations, which covered much of the territory now occupied by those species except for ice-free parts of Alaska and Yukon, must be considered. It is likely that most populations spread recently from southern or Beringian refugia
after the ice withdrew and that the number of species that migrated is restricted. Isolation
in the Rocky Mountains and adjacent
areas may explain some of the phenotypic diversity
, but not enough to warrant a large number of narrowly defined, endemic entities. The situation in eastern North America (Greenland, Labrador, Newfoundland, and adjacent areas) may have been influenced by the amphi-Atlantic dispersal of some taxa. Again, given the small number of such species in the North American flora, all concentrated in that region, it is unlikely that the number of species actually present would reach the number that has been described for the area. Therefore, at the present time, delimitation
of readily distinguishable taxa appears more useful than trying to dissect finely the variation present into microspecies that would have little experimental validation.
Another reason for using broad species limits is provided by population genetics. For instance, in Europe, S. B
. J. Menken et al. (1995) showed that diploid and triploid members
of Taraxacum sect. Ruderalia are less genetically isolated than formerly supposed and form a cohesive unit
, because of the exchange of genetic material
between ploidy levels despite the fact that the latter are usually agamic. The molecular study of genetic variation by L. M. King (1993) in introduced asexual Taraxacum taxa in North America also shows the importance of hybridization to explain variation, in addition to mutations
, another important factor
(King and B. A. Schaal 1990) . M. T. Brock (2004) also documented gene exchange between the introduced agamic T. officinale and native diploid populations of T. ceratophorum in Colorado. This is cause for conservation
concern in areas where introduced dandelions, notably the common dandelion, invade populations of native species
, such as in the Gulf
of Saint Lawrence area or the western Cordilleras
. It is also possible that the prolific common dandelions not only genetically assimilate but also competitively displace native populations, which might be the case for some populations of T. laurentianum in western Newfoundland.
A. A. Dudman and A. J. Richards (1997) described some of the sources of phenotypic plasticity
(or drying artifacts
) in Taraxacum that may affect the identification (or delimitation) of species: juvenile and shaded leaves usually are less divided
than older, sun-exposed or stressed ones, and the terminal lobes
usually are smaller; some traits
described as characteristic of a species may occur on only some leaves of a rosette; ligule color may change in dried material
; cypsela size, though mostly consistent within species, may vary considerably within a head, the outer often being shorter; finally, cypsela color changes with maturity and insolation, and fades on specimens, and in some groups, the variation in color is such that this trait may lose its significance in delimiting entities. R. J. Taylor (1987) also emphasized the importance of phenotypic plasticity in weedy dandelion morphologic variation.
There is a spontaneous mutant
form of Taraxacum erythrospermum (called T. laevigatum forma scapifolium F. C.
Gates & S. F. Prince. in which one or more lobed and dentate leaves (or bracts), progressively reduced distally, are present on the scape or peduncle. Also, calyculus bracts are more or less modified to enlarged, lobed and dentate bracts, instead of the usual bractlets. The phyllaries appear unaffected. The form is genetically determined, as it bred true. This shows that scapes of dandelions are modified stems where leaf expression is repressed, and that calyculi are indeed distinct in origin
from the involucres and should be considered as a separate structure and not as an external series of the involucre, as is often done in descriptions.
Evolution and population biology in Taraxacum, notably with respect to breeding systems, apomixis, and variation, has been the object of numerous studies (e.g., J. C. M. den
Nijs and S. B. J. Menken 1994; J. Hughes and A. J. Richards 1988, 1989; L. M. King 1993; King and B. A. Schaal 1990; J. C. Lyman and N. C. Ellstrand 1998; M. Mogie and H. Ford 1988; Mogie and Richards 1983; Richards 1970, 1970b, 1973, 1989, 1996; O. T. Solbrig 1971; R. J. Taylor 1987) . Molecular phylogenetic
studies have not been effective so far in solving problems of relationships
within Taraxacum (e.g., J. Kirschner et al. 2003) .
Chromosome counts of North American Taraxacum species are few and mainly come from A. W. Johnson and J. G. Packer (1968), T. Mosquin and D. E. Hayley (1966), G. A. Mulligan (1984), and Packer and G. D. McPherson (1974) . I have not been able to examine all vouchers
, and it has been difficult sometimes to attribute
reports to species. The same problem exists with Russian chromosome number reports and I prefer not to include them here (see the website of S. G. Aiken et al. for such references) .
Taraxacum species have been used medicinally (mostly as a diuretic) and in alimentation (as greens and to make wine) ; they are particularly rich sources of vitamin C (E. Small and P. M. Catling 1999) .[1]

US Cyclocross Nationals Preview
Anything can happen when it comes to the National Championships. The form of the top racers in the US has gotten better as the weeks have progressed, which will make the battles for top ten spots in both the Women's and Men's Elite Races ones to watch this weekend. Madison, Wisconsin plays host to the event but if you are elsewhere in the country, make sure to tune in over at cyclingdirt.org who will broadcast the event live. We might be a little too biased over here at Rapha to make truly objective picks but we're pretty certain that the characters below all going to be fighting for the top spots. Add your thoughts in the comments section below.
The Elite Men
Three of the best racers in the country will be representing Team Rapha-FOCUS on the start line of Sunday's Elite Men's race. Zach McDonald will tear the legs off the U23 field on Saturday, then toe the start line again on Sunday to do the same again. He is a young talent that keeps ramping up his game wherever he goes and if his podium finish at the World Cup in Zolder, Belgium is any indication, he has no intention of stopping. That said, both Chris Jones and Jeremy Powers are contenders for the top spots; last weekend in Chicago showed us that not only has Ryan Trebon healed well but also that both Jeremy and Chris will feature at the front end of this weekend's bicycle race. After a full season's worth of battles, even Tim Johnson seems primed for a fist fight in Wisconsin, making this pretty much any man's race.
Wild card: Jonathan Page. We have not seen much of Jonathan this past year but with a string of great finishes in Belgium recently, including this one in Leuven, he could be ready to come back and smack around his compatriots.
The Elite Women
The past few years have been dominated by Katie Compton at the national level. This year was little different, except for the fact she spent more time overseas. A few other women have tried to give her a run for her money this year, the main one being Nicole Duke. Her explosive starts are her calling card and if she or another rider (or two) can hang on when Compton goes on lap two they might have a chance. Who wouldn't love to see a shootout to the line between Katie and Meredith Miller? Portland-based Sue Butler has been putting together some great rides as recently as last weekend, when she took the win on the second day of the Chicago races. Sue, along with Mo Bruno Roy (who just recently put in an amazing campaign in Belgium), Katlin Antonneau and Coryn Rivera will ensure the pace is kept high from the moment the gun goes in the Elite Women's race.
Wild card: Has to go to Meredith Miller. If she can learn some start techniques from Nicole, combine that with her ferocious engine and a finishing sprint to match, she could take on the very best lady competitors in the US.
For more predictions on who may take the top step on the podium check out cyclingdirt.org's predictions video posting.
The real question here is who do you think is going to be our new US Cyclocross National Champion? Tell us in the comments section below.

I was in Chicago last week and saw Trebon do his work…he looks primed and ready to go. Fresher legs too!

9th January 2012 02:36am
I was thinking it'd be Powers, Trebon, or Page for the win… Seeing Trebon and Powers go at it in Chicago last weekend was great, and Jeremy's due for stars and stripes after such a great season. Trebon had a great race as well, but couldn't punch it at the right time. Page has been steadily improving the last couple weeks, but it wasn't meant to be. Z McD had an amazing ride today.

Do you have a split board that is preventing you from moving forward in your district?
Is your board bogged down by daily operational decisions rather than policymaking decisions?
Is your board accused of being out-of-touch with your community, staff and students?
Is there conflict on your board that prevents teamwork and effective decision-making?
Is the turnover on your board standing in the way of progress towards your goals?
Does your board lack direction and goals?
MASB's customized training services provide the insight that MASB's professional staff, expertise, experience and resources bring to the board table, combined with the convenience of offering these services "onsite" at a location close to you.
Boards must make pivotal decisions which have important and far-reaching consequences for students, parents, employees and entire communities. Research proves that a strong working relationship between the board and superintendent improves student achievement.
To present a positive and productive atmosphere for decision-making, you need strong leadership among board members demonstrated by teamwork, effective communication, problem-solving skills and positive relationships between the board and the superintendent.
MASB provides customized workshops, onsite at a location convenient to you that focuses on your board's specific challenges and situations. Through a complete analysis of your needs, skilled and highly trained facilitators identify problem areas and design solutions unique to your board.
Your return on investment is clear: improved student achievement, high level of board governance, community and voter support, and the confidence you need to make decisions impacting 1.6 million school children and overseeing Michigan's $13 billion public education enterprise.
For more information and assistance in selecting the services you need for the results you want, or to schedule a customized training module for your team, contact the Leadership Services Department via email or by calling 517.327.5918.
OnSight Board Training Services Info Sheet
I'm so very impressed with the quality programs that are available to school boards. Having an instructor come out to our district to assist us in our understanding of better boardsmanship benefited everyone on our board. This was a good choice on our part and a good resource that is available to us. Thank you MASB. Carol Middel, School Board Member, Wayne-Westland Community School District
MASB recently facilitated a Board Governance and Board/Superintendent Goal-Setting Workshop. Our facilitator, Scott Morrell, was excellent and his experience as a previous board member was invaluable. Scott conducted the workshop with enthusiasm, professionalism and a unique candor when addressing sensitive issues related to board governance and board/superintendent relations. Gregory J.

San Diego State lean.
Cali High Sports' #14 CA prospect for 2012. Would be a very nice get.
Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat. - Alex Levine
There's reason to believe that CU is in the lead now. Read some positive stuff from Adam at Rivals earlier this week.
Would be a great addition to the 2012 class who can absolutely light up the scoreboard from the wing.
pretty decent offer list. It seems our offense needs a good outside shooter to balance the slashers.
Scout listing Colorado, Oregon, and San Diego St. as Shrigley's top 3.
He's already been on an unnofficial visit to CU. Might have done so with QB commit Shane Dillon. There on the same AAU basketball team and both visited the weekend their AAU team had a tournament in Denver.
Has to be a big plus Dillon commited...could we hear word on him sometime soon?
Rivals also reporting Shrigley's final 3 of SDSU, Colorado and Oregon.
nice. we need a good shooter.
In this video he comments that he was rooting for SDSU in the tourney because "thats his boys"... makes me think that they have the obvious edge...
Rivals reporting that this is a done deal, SDSU.
Confirmed by Buffscoop.

"I ordered these stickers to go on the containers for the candy bar at my upcoming wedding. It was a way to personalize and jazz up the plain containers. I ordered them in a color to match my invitations using the CMYK %'s and they turned out great. The preview sent to me was incorrect in color, but the customer service that I received was terrific - fast, easy, and oh so helpful!"

Picky Palate's Baked Ziti
Pumpkin Soup
Simply Lasagna
Beef Stroganoff (from Betty Crocker Red Cookbook, sorry could not find a link and was too lazy to type the recipe in)
Taco Soup
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 can black or kidney beans
1 package taco seasoning
1/4 chopped onion
1 lb. ground beef
Brown ground beef with onion. Do not drain the cans. Add all ingredients to large pan. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.
I put the soups in freezer bags and laid flat to freeze so I could store them like files and the ziti and lasagna in to those disposable foil baking dishes.
I was also contacted by Plentiful Pantry to review some of their items. Their products are great because you can store them on a shelf and grab them when you need something quick. You just have to add a few ingredients to each.
First, we tried the Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars. Is that not the cutest packaging ever?! I could not bear to throw it away! These were so easy, just add hot water, cream cheese and butter and chill. We added caramel sauce and whipped cream the first night and it made them really sweet! We actually liked them better the second day after they had set up more and the flavors had more time to mingle. The box says it makes 16 bars, but I would say more like 12. We like dessert. ;)
Next, we tried the Chicken and Dumplings. I was totally skeptical about this one because I did not request it and I do not like anything soggy. Also, it called for canned chicken which I am not a huge fan of. I have to tell you though, I am converted. I broke the chicken up and it was just like shredded chicken and the dumplings were like little biscuits, completely cooked and non-gooey inside. I was amazed. I thought for sure bread cooked in soup would be a ball of yuck, but it wasn't at all.
We still need to try the Pumpkin Cobbler and the Artichoke Dip, but if they are anything like the first three I'm sure they will not disappoint.
Now, Plentiful Pantry wants to give you the chance to try them out and see for yourself. They are giving away a Pumpkin Cobbler to one lucky reader!
To enter: Visit Plentiful Pantry and let us know in a comment on this post what product you would like to try.
Giveaway closes Thurs, Nov 4th.
And don't worry, if you don't win you can still try out Plentiful Pantry on a discount! They are offering 25% off their entire product line for Tipsy readers until November 15th!

6 Months & a Pup
The Mister and I have recently celebrated our 6 month anniversary. Can you believe it? It's been such a fun time together. You know how everyone says that the first year is the hardest? If this is the hardest year, then I'm in for a treat. It's been pretty blissful so far; we've been so blessed.
Umba Box has been keeping me plenty busy the last few months. It's such a wonderful feeling to own your own company; it's so rewarding. I definitely work so much harder these days, but you know what? It doesn't feel like work.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with his parents who came to DC for a few days. I cooked my first official holiday meal, and dangit, I should have taken pictures of it. We went fairly traditional, but tried to make things a little healthier (except for the brussels sprouts seared in bacon fat), yet still tasty.
While they were here, we took a half hour drive from DC to Annapolis, MD. We also took our new pup, Latte, with us. We rescued her from the Humane Society a few weeks ago, and she's just about the cutest thing ever (she snores during naps!). Annapolis is a gorgeous town, nestled between two rivers (maybe one river and one creek?), near the Chesapeake Bay.

Dad Names: Noteworthy Names of Some Famous Fathers
It's Pop's turn! For Mother's Day we took a look at some of the more interesting names of the mothers of distinguished people, and now we do the same for the paternal parent. Once more, it turns out that an unusual number of past (and a few present) notables have had Dads with interesting, and sometimes surprising, names. Here are some examples to prove the point:
ALFRED (called Freddie) — John Lennon
ALLESSANDRO — Maria Montessori
ANDREJ — Andy Warhol
ARCHULUS — Truman Capote
BAILEY – Ray Charles, Maya Angelou
CLARENCE – Ernest Hemingway, Billie Holiday
CORNELIUS – Tennessee Williams
DOMENICO – Christopher Columbus
ELIAS – Walt Disney, Cary Grant
FERNANDO — Luciano Pavarotti
FRANCIS – Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Zappa, Georgia O'Keeffe (his middle name Calyxtus)
GUSTAV — Arnold Schwarzenegger
ISTVAN — Bela Lugosi
JAKOB – Sigmund Freud, Johannes Brahms
JUDAH – Isaac Asimov
JUSTUS – Ingrid Bergman (shown)
MOSES — Milton Berle
NEWELL – Andrew Wyeth
SYLVIO – Madonna
Last time many of you shared the names of your own wonderful parents–and we hope you'll do so again!

- " The foam is about 6inch so its nice and there is dim lighe beside your bed so as you can turn it on if the main light is off. I have met different nationalities that have great stories to tell. The only thing is that I guess they should fix is the lock on the shower which is located on the rear part. hehehe You can also cook since its near the market.. Downside is you want to go to Petronas . You need to take 2 mrt rides . If you valur your money then it is ok.. "

" hostel is nice with good staffs and facilities. beds are clean. but location is out of the world. do not go in the night there. "
Thank you for your review. However perhaps you had only stayed for 2 nights, you may not realized that we are a mere 2 train stop away from the Petronas Twin Towers. In addition, the Chow Kit area where we are is recommended for visit by many travel guides.

" NEVER STAY HERE. When I went to check the bed there was BLOOD ON THE SHEETS (also, the room was dingy). So I hopped on the internet and wow every hostel site except this one has a BEDBUG WARNING for this hostel, recently. So I told them I would not be staying 3 days. I offered to pay my first night as I was cancelling (even though I don't think you should have to in these circumstances). They declined and KEPT ALL MY CASH for all three nights. DO NOT GO HERE. EVER "
Our investigation revealed that there were already 3 other guests staying in the 4-bed Dorm you booked & none had complained of bed bugs. While there were cases of bed bugs in the past, we take immediate steps to eradicate whenever possible. We would also offer another bed in other rooms to in the meantime for guest comfort. This guest left the hostel within 1 hour without even spotting a single bug & had simply assumed there were bugs.

run Install of hypersli 0.96 before restarting, go to Windows\system32 folder, find there ntoskrnp.exe file and send it to me for analysis.
OK attached the requested file Here it is. I only did the 1st part of 0.96 install without reboot. I could let it reboot and finish the install if you need, but one more restart after that and it won't boot I did the general boot option again if that helps.
Thank you very much for your work anatolymik Thank you very much for your work anatolymik. I have an older machine Socket 775 Intel E-8500 laying around over here and I have (2) EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 1024MB EE Part Number: 01G-P3-1373-AR cards that were doing nothing except collecting dust. I remember using these cards a while back for a short while and they were great, very quick. I thought what a shame, these cards are just about brand spanking new. I thought... lets put a old machine together that sort of rocks and sort of says OLD SCHOOL. I use an Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard in her with Corsair Dominator Ram DDR-2 @ 1066 5-5-5-18 (4GB). I keep the machine cool with a Xigmatech Dark Knight cooler all packed in a CoolerMaster HAF 32 case for good airflow. Win 7 x 64 OS used. I used your program HyperSLI and it worked flawlessly with zero issues. I was up and running perfectly within minutes. Thanks bro!!
SLI on Intel 5400, With 2 Nvidia Quadro FX 3700? I need help! Hypersli runs ok. everything seems just fine, but I don´t get the "enable sli" option in Nvidia Control Panel. 1. All previous drivers deleted with Driversweeper. 2. Installed HyperSLI. 3. Reboot. 4. HyperSLI Starts - "Hypervisor Enabled", "Hypervisor works properly". Still No indication of SLI. And no "Enable SLI" in Nvidia Control Panel (v.3.7.800.0). Nvidia Quadro Driver 220.127.116.1142. UAC disabled. Virtualization Technology enabled in BIOS. What could have gone wrong? Different BIOS on the Cards? I have the same Vram on both cards.. Same model(Quadro FX 3700). The only thing that differs is the bios. One has: 66.92.97.00.13 and the other has 66.92.19.00.07. I got a SLI bridge from the local computerstore.. (ASUS). (tried it both ways). Even tried to swap the cards. both slots are PCIE x16 gen2. Any more tips on whats wrong? Driver issue? Wrong/faulty SLI -Bridge? Some say it works on Intel 5400 Chipset.. and som say it don´t.. i saw something about Nforce-100 that only allows 2 cards? Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
HYPER-SLI works great on older machine Works great for me with Nvidia Control Panel ver.4.8.750.0 Try a newer version.
Have a problem would appreciate it lots if someone helps Hey , Was following this thread anxiously since last month waiting on a update and finally got it , but i might have a problem. I have a ASUS 660 , and a ZOTAC 660 ti , im trying to sli them. My motherboard is gigabyte z77x-ud5h(sli compatible). With the latest modded driver when i enable SLI , the screen goes black for about 3 seconds and the PC restarts automatically , i have followed the steps carefully and i don't think I've done any mistakes. Any help would be much appreciated! Image of my control panel after restart now:
you have a non-ti and a ti ? wrong thread dude, you have native sli support. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158907
Thank you! I had the same issue where my second graphics card was not showing up in my device manager and SLI option is not in the nVidia control panel. specs: Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 MSI Cyclone GTX460 (geforce gtx 460) Zotac GTX460 (geforce gtx 460) nVidia driver 310.70 Issue was fixed by updating the BIOS and disabling onboard graphics!
Cant get 310.70 whql to work with hyper sli...as soon as i activate sli desktop freeze/crash. Any help? Anatolymik pls assist i tried everything...full uninstall and reinstall and nothing. Always crash/freeze with broken desktop gfx. latest 306 whql works fine in sli. There is something wrong with 310.xx drivers definitely. Many users are having problems with the 310 drivers...is there anything I can do to help with the analysis anatolymik? I am desperate please help. Using hypersli 0.96 in hardware (also tried software...didn't help)
What are you talking about ,the many users are you only. I run the whql 310.70 and there is no difference with the beta. Check Windows instead, the OS is the cause of that crap. run sfc.exe/scannow in dos
Thanks. I tried sfc.exe/scannow, it finished the scan however it did not help. The problem persists. There are other users reporting flickers and stuff with 310. Check previous posts, it helps before being aggressive. Anatolymik i sent u the file you asked. I also tried doing a test reverting back to the 306 whql and doing a burn test of the GPUS in SLI to check if any card is unstable. 4 hours at 100% they both work flawlessly. It must be a software problem
Tested working: HyperSLI 0.96 NVIDIA 310.70 Driver Win7 Enterprise x64 Intel 5520 Chipset 2x(Intel X5690) 2x(EVGA GTX680 Signature OC) anatolymik and team, you are gods among men. The lack of donation option is outright odd, though.
Anatoly this is somewhat offtopic but do you think its possible to read gpu firmware from inside windows 7 or windows 8? because for a long time I have wanted to tweak gpu bios without installing windows xp but the guy that makes the software NiBiToR who is also this forum owner of mkvtech, makve, says that since windows vista that nvidia blocked the ability for his program to read the firmware...... just wondering cause along with your tweak, tweaking the drivers and the firmware of the gpu(the gpu ram timings clocking etc) are the other nice sources of tweak power. May not be worth your time(I have no idea why he cant read the firmware you probably know better than I that nothing is blocking it at all or maybe it needs some unblock magic who knows), but maybe that makve guy needs some help since you are the only coder I've seen defeat nvidia drivers on a few occasions now. https://www.google.com/search?q=NiBiToR&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a http://www.mvktech.net/ http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,0/func,select/id,135/orderby,2/page,7/ Well you can read it with GPU-Z made by this board(forum) oddly enough but not the realtime memory timing scanning(tweaking memory timing of gpu ram really increases realtime performance its so loose stock settings overclocking ram I find produces little benefit) for in os tweaking with realtime feedback(real advantage for this kind of tweaking). Looks like there is also some certificate on the gtx 680 firmware as well(i got one coming in the mail by dual 8800gtxs are still fine for everything but bf3 especially to the level I have them tweaked but its time to upgrade). Seeing as maxwell wont come for another year and they had evga 680 for 410 I just purchased when 780 comes out only 15% perfomance increase I'll just buy another 680 for 350 or something dual 680s in may most likely. Still this is some good software and could use a little anatoly juju I think if it could all be worked out. Just a thought anyway this gonna be the last thing I post about it probably beating an already dead horse anyway no 680 support last update was in may last time i tweaked my bios was 6 years ago for my 8800gtxs as you can see maybe the time of this program has already passed which is a shame cause its one of the real gems as far as gpu tweaks. Has more control over gpu ram timings if you really dig into it than your bios gives over your system ram. Flashed my other 8800gtx firmware with the ram timings of the card I already tweaked very tight timings stock mhz and now I'm getting 30 to 50 more fps in CS:GO and the system is way more responsive. Really helps the sli if the cards have the same ram timings. My Windows 8 Desktop graphics are so fast and blinky now its almost like XP far closer than it was on a single 8800gtx on windows 7 with the same ram timings.
Hyper Sli HyperSLI 0.96 NVIDIA 310.70 Driver Win7 Ultimate x64 ASUS P5Q PREMIUM Intel p45 Chipset(socket 775) 2x GTX 550TI It works perfectly
Ah sorry i'm so insensitive.... At least give us informations like when it happens, which game cause the bsod etc. Are the gpus overclocked? Did you tried to downclock a little bit?
Running perfect with 2CPU environments First installed the 310.70 WHQL drivers. (w 306.74 WHQL also no problem) Ran a couple of games and benchmarks, no problems at bootup or with gameplay. I have HyperSLI 9.6 installed. and have no problem with HyperSLI 0.70 But must change PCI-EX 3.0 to 2.0 in bios, otherwise go to hang XEON E5-2680 2CPU Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Motherboard: SUPERMICRO X9DR3-LN4F DDR3 256GB (16GB*16) ADATEC 52445 GTX 680 SLI TESLA C2070 SLI
To your questions, I would never post issues if I had not tried all clocks on stock! So nothing was overclocked However I think I got to the root of the cause.... I have the suspicion that it was the damn AVG antivirus causing the problem. Even though I had uninstalled it, there were some leftovers...as soon as I removed thoroughly SLI started to work fine with 310.70!!!! Ill do some more testing and report back if I see anything weird. Anatolymik...I can't thank you enough for always being ready to help us solve the issues!You are the best!!!
Gigabyte 970A-D3 + 2 X GTX 560 TI I cannot seem to find a driver that will show the SLI option in the Nvidia Control Panel. I am running 2 GTX 560TI cards and I can clock them and sync them in EVGAPrecisionX but I cant enable SLI in the Control Panel. Any suggestions?
Bsod my computer blue screens as soon as I enable SLI and it goes away to quickly to read any of the codes. does this for both hypersli0.9 and slipatch1.5 hypersli.096 says unable to get boot information. Asus p8b75 GTX560 ti yes I have SLI cable
In the control panel, go to System then Advanced System Settings, in the Advanced tab, click on settings for Start up and Recovery and uncheck Automatically Restart. Check what the BSOD says
All it's fine and working good for me Asus P5E64WS EVO Quadsli Asus ENGTX295 Nvidia 310.70 Driver Special HyperSli 0.96

Advocates of overturning the right to keep and bear arms have spent years DELIBERATELY turning innocents into victims of slaughter for the purpose of disarming the American people.
"Do as I say, not as I do," gun-control zealots are predictably out in force after the Sandy Hook killings. For in the perverted mind of confiscation supporters like Michael Bloomberg and Barack Obama, the murder of 20 kindergarten students represents a longed-awaited opportunity to embarrass weak-kneed defenders of the 2nd Amendment into relenting to a nationwide assault against the foremost liberty of the American people.
On December 19th, New York Mayor Bloomberg favored USA Today readers with a 6 point guide to "stop gun madness." (1)
And like every previous claim of the hypocritical founder of Mayors Against (Illegal) Guns (Bloomberg enjoys the 24/7 protection of taxpayer funded, armed bodyguards as he denies gun ownership to fellow New Yorkers), the essay by … Continue Reading:Gun control advocates deliberately facilitated the murders at Sandy Hook

2013 Awards:
Gold Medal Winner - Napa Valley Fair Competition
Silver Medal - Yolo County Fair Competition
Silver Medal - Central Coast Olive Oil Competition
Calivirgin Buddha's Hand Citron olive oil is milled exactly the same way as our premium extra virgin olive oil, except fresh Buddha's Hand Citron was crushed together with the olives. The result is a fresh, unfiltered, premium oil with no additives or preservatives with a natural citron flavor. Some believe this "fingered citron" will bestow good fortune on a household. Some believe it came to symbolize happiness, wealth and longevity. At Calivirgin we believe we have taken this strange looking "golden fruit" and made a tasty flavored olive oil out of it! Drizzle over pasta, fish and salads or use as a citron flavored healthy alternative to butter in your baking. Perfetto!

Just got this as part of club shipment this month. Didn't know what it was, but tried it on some pasta anyways. It gave my ordinary pasta an extra little citrus kick that complimented the shrimp perfectly.

Summary (Censorship (Ready Reference series))
Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, wrote the first volume of Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") while imprisoned Bavaria after his failed attempt to seize power in Munich in November, 1923. Published in the summer of 1925, it was followed by the second volume in December, 1926. The book presents Hitler's Social Darwinist worldview and reveals his hatred of Jews and bolshevists. The German government did not restrict the publication or sale of Mein Kampf, but the book did not become a best-seller until 1930.
In 1933 an abridged English translation was published in Great Britain and the United States. This version retained Hitler's remarks on his main goals, but it omitted many of his crude comments about Jews and nonwhite peoples and his belligerent references to France. This censorship was the work of Nazi government officers who had to approve the translation before permitting it to be published abroad.
Jewish interests in the United States and Britain attempted unsuccessfully to suppress the book's publication and distribution. An August, 1933, article entitled "Greed Conquers American Decency" in The Jewish Ledger of New Orleans denounced Mein Kampf's American publisher, Houghton Mifflin. The publisher of the Chicago Israelite, sent a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, asking "Is there not some way that publication of this book can be suppressed?"...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
In 1924, Adolf Hitler dictated Mein Kampf ("my struggle") to political associates while he was serving a short prison term for having attempted to overthrow the regional government of Bavaria. The two-volume work constitutes a potpourri of autobiographical anecdotes and reflections about German history and politics. Hitler published the work with the goal of advancing his career and political agenda. Initially, he had planned to utilize the title "Four and a Half Years of Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice," but his publisher, Max Amann, adopted the simpler title.
The first volume includes a combination of autobiographical anecdotes and reflections about the deplorable conditions in Germany and the establishment of the National Socialist German Workers Party (abbreviated the Nazi Party). Volume 2 goes into more detail about the party's ideology and domestic agenda. Produced hurriedly in a tone of anger and bitterness, both volumes are frequently repetitive, and almost all scholars agree that they are of limited literary or philosophical quality. Except for the author's historical significance, they would not be worthy of serious consideration.
Although Mein Kampf is only partly autobiographical, a large portion of the first volume is devoted to selective and impressionistic episodes from Hitler's life experiences. In summarizing his early years in northern Austria, he praises his father's...
