Social issues are an anchor around the neck of the GOP. If you are GOP, and you say the word "abortion", or "gay", you will lose. Face facts, GOP. If you want to win elections outside of the South, do not talk about social issues. Don't compromise your principles, but don't paint a target on your forehead, unless your name is Akin or Mourdoch, then, go ahead, but do it when you are a city councilman, not a Senate candidate.

As for the desperately pragmatic Fixit above, weasels are selected by other weasels. Planned Parenthood (if parenthood is allowed to occur) is an organization that profits from the misery of others, and does so through institutionalized homicide.

While I cannot stand Planned Parenthood and hate the Progressive eugenics ideology, I must say that this suggestion is not entirely crazy. I don't like abortion because I believe all potential life is a gift from God. But not everyone believes that. Now, I don't think anyone should dump anything. But I do think the GOP needs to take certain social issues off of the discussion. And one's stand on abortion should NOT be a litmus test for being "conservative enough" either. A lot of Republicans do NOT necessarily believe that in the early term, a fertilized egg or embryo is a full, complete human being. The party would be much better to either completely drop this a platform issue or to softly accept only early first trimester choices while working diligently on educating the public about the reality and severity of the decision. We might not stop all abortion, but we could greatly cut down the number while continuing to get more support for the party. Ever since the party has taken hard stands against all forms of abortion, it has lost a LOT of support (voters) and any power to do anything to curb abortion. It has also allowed the left to turn abortion into an everyday, easy-to-get procedure that's now all the way up to birth (which IS murder). And the left is still pushing it even further!Isn't it better to make some headway in the right direction than to completely lose control and have everything roll in the wrong direction quickly?? Please think about it.And yes, we should be standing for LESS government intrusion—not more. Click Here if you Like this Comment

By the way, dividing zygotes and tiny embryos are also not "babies"--nor are they sentient. Despite what some say, it is not necessarily as black and white as you want to make it.To be honest, about 70% of all conceptions miscarry (that includes failure to implant). And about 30% of pregnancies, where implantation is confirmed, miscarry--but this is measured only at the earliest point of pregnancy detection. In general, among confirmed pregnancies within the first trimester (easily up to 5 or 6 weeks minimum), the number of miscarriages is actually closer to 15-20%. Of course, the further along the pregnancy progresses, the less likely it will miscarry. But my point is, that early term abortion is NOT necessarily so morally bankrupt an idea if your belief system is not stuck on the thought that "conception=life". And in truth, scientifically speaking, conception does not equal "life". Click Here if you Like this Comment
I'm confused, I thought the GOP was supposed to dump the Tea Party zealots in order to get elected. Wait, no, in order to win, the GOP was supposed to change their stance in illegal immigration. No, no, I'm wrong, the GOP was encouraged to embrace the GLBT voters and accept the "new norm" of gay marriage/adoption. My head aches, but I'll try again. The GOP must basically, no, fundamentally transform (heard those words before?) its platform and principles in order to WIN!!!!!! Cause winning is where it's at baby.I have a suggestion for PP: crawl back into your spider hole and keep doing what you do best. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
I remember the Pubbie Party pre-Reagan and pre-Gingrich. It was Democrat-lite, with no core values and no victories/majorities in the House or Senate. What Reagan and Gingrich had was the ability to explain where we should be going in a manner many could understand. What we lacked in those two worthies and the rest of the party was someone who could explain why we should stay the course and enforce that discipline. The TEA party won 2010 without any support or real help from the Pubbies other than a party name to file for candidacy. If we say we value the individual, but are willing to kill the inconvenient, we do not value the individual. We need to stand on principal. The TEA party gives us ideological discipline.

If you want to see the demonrats abandon abortion then support it for the following reasonMore than 40% of all the pregnancies by minority women end in abortion. The children they do not abort grow up to become democratic votersIf welfare queens faced mandatory abortion because they were on welfare then the number of children born to the ignorant, culturally backwards, illiterate women would fall and the democratic would have fewer voters.Advocate abortion to control the cost of not only welfare but for things like Social SecuritySupport it call it what it is a way to control the number of voters for a particular group and see the democrats change.Fight abortion with the truth of what abortion is.

The Republican Party caved to the Progressives several elections ago.

What´s left is the remnants who make their money off the old system (pundits in the press) and therefore have a vested interest in keeping the illusion going.

Aborting a child in its development is not a social or political issue. It is, As #22 said, a matter of life and death, and #21/23 raises the crux of the argument; when does life begin. If it is true that ´scientifically speaking, conception does not equal "life"´, (I don´t agree, I see no other clear line of differentiation) then where, scientifically speaking, does life begin?Give us a definition to hang the question on and it will quickly be resolved. Keep defining it as a ´social´ issue - a matter of ´rights´ for everyone except the ultimate victim - and it will remain an amorphous derivation that can be made to fit any number of arguments that the opposition wishes to raise for why it should be okay to kill certain kinds of human beings.

Question for Cecile and the Pro Abortion posters. Why are you so enthusiastic about killing, fully ´sentient,´ fully developed, crying babies who survive abortion procedures? Why do you classify them as any different than babies you raise as your children? With today´s medical technology we often rescue babies many weeks before full term and most of society applauds that. Don´t you? If your baby is under stress and is delivered many weeks before a natural birth would happen, doesn´t that argue for moving the abortion deadline back to at least the time in the gestation period when the baby is still forming lungs? For ´woman´s choice´ fans the question is when do you lift the death sentence for your children? If there is a gray area in this argument, abortionists have shifted it way too far to their side of the argument. I´ll happily wrestle with the problem of incest, rape and mother´s health vs two crying babies, kill that one. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Washington, DC Tuesday, December 4, 2012
The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence holds a hearing on "Terrorist Exploitation of Refugee Programs."
The hearing examined legislation which allowed Iraqis who helped the United States, to gain special refugee status and resettlement in the U.S. after the insurgency in Iraq resulted in substantial civilian displacement from 2004 to 2007.
In May 2009, two Iraqi nationals who were given refugee status and resettled in the U.S. were arrested and accused by the FBI of plotting to send weapons and money to Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Subcommittee Chairman Patrick Meehan (R-PA) said that the hearing will "identify any remaining gaps in the security screening process that need to be remedied. It is concerning that neither (Mohanad Shareef) Hammadi nor (Waad Ramadan) Alwan had worked for any U.S. organization in Iraq, yet both received refugee status for humanitarian reasons."
Witnesses included: Lawrence Bartlett, Director of the Refugee Admissions Office Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration U.S. Department of State, Barbara Strack, chief of the Refugee Affairs Division, Citizenship and Immigration Services at the Department of Homeland Security; and Dawn Scalici, deputy undersecretary of Homeland Security at the Office of Intelligence and Analysis

De la Rionda added that he was sure Zimmerman would get on the stand to tell his story, but even without the opportunity to cross-examine him and try to directly poke holes in his story, prosecutors say they thought Zimmerman's lies would so blatant, that would be enough for the jury to see his story as false.
"And you have the injuries," Corey added. "And the injuries indicate there was some sort of struggle. We never said Trayvon Martin didn't do something to George Zimmerman. What we said is you can't take a concealed weapon and encourage or incite a fist fight, which is what he did by stalking at teenager who didn't know who he was, and then whip your gun out and shoot ... never explaining the details of how he was able to pull his gun, if he was being beaten as brutally as he claimed.
"We clearly refuted it with the physical evidence. No DNA on Trayvon Martin's hands, which were supposedly covering (Zimmerman's) bloody nose. So many other things, and those lies were put in front of the jury, one after the other. And in addition...the accusation that we overcharged is ludicrous in light of the evidence. What citizen, who's just defending himself, writes the word 'suspect' 24 times in a statement, unless, he thinks he's the police officer trying to explain how he was attempting to apprehend a suspect, and then had to fight him off and kill him? No normal citizen calls a dead teenager 'the suspect.' It goes to his mindset."
Politan's interview with the Zimmerman prosecutors touched on a wide variety of other issues, including whether there will be federal charges brought against Zimmerman, why Martin's parents were not in the courtroom for the verdict, and the firing of former IT director Ben Kruidbos. The interview will air Monday night at 10 p.m. ET on a special edition of HLN After Dark.
Saturday night, Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges related to Martin's death, giving some closure to a case that began on February 26, 2012, when Zimmerman called 911 to report "a suspicious" person in his neighborhood, the Retreat at Twin Lakes. He was instructed by a dispatcher not to get out of his vehicle or approach the person, but did anyway.
Moments later, neighbors reported hearing gunfire. Zimmerman, who was bleeding from the nose and back of the head, told police that he and Martin fought and that he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense.
Protests were held around the country when it appeared that Zimmerman wasn't going to be arrested for Martin's death. On April 11, 2012, Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder for fatally shooting the unarmed teen.

I'm attempting to develop an online multiplayer game using Node.js for the server and Flash to display the client.
I've been reading up a bit and have found quite a few recommendations for the socket.io library. I've also found a github project which exposes code to help facilitate communication between an Actionscript 3.0 client and a server using socket.io.
The project I mentioned is a bit dated and doesn't seem to have support for the latest version of socket.io, so I was wondering if leveraging this framework (socket.io, that is) would be the most ideal way to go.
I have found a simple project that uses the standard 'net' module for node.js, but because there a few options available, I'm a little lost as to which one to go with. I'm currently leaning towards just using the regular 'net' module as it is already familiar to me.
Since much of the client is already coded up, I'd really like to not switch over to using the HTML5 canvas just yet (but using socket.io would make a transition in the future more friendly, I think?).
Any advice/direction on this matter would be much appreciated, though I do realize that there may be no one right answer.
Edit: To be more specific, are there any client-side socket.io frameworks available that allow for communication between an Actionscript 3.0 client and a socket.io server and are robust enough to support current/future versions of socket.io? If not, what are the alternatives?

Posted: December 29, 2010
This topic of water content and water activity should be of interest to all formulators interested in product safety and stability. It is a concept associated with preservation and one often discussed by industry expert David Steinberg.
Water content refers to the sum of all the water either added to, or introduced with raw materials in, a formulation. The analytical method to assess water content is a titration method that was established in 1935 by Karl Fischer (see Karl Fischer Titration).
Water activity or aw is different from water content in both a qualative and quantative way. First, it is a ratio of the vapor pressure of a liquid divided by that of pure water at the same temperature. Pure distilled water has a water activity of 1.00 (unitless). Second, the value in formulations is rarely 1.00. This means the ingredients in the formulation interact with the water content, altering how that water interacts with the air above the sample.
Water migrates from areas of high aw to areas of low aw. For example, if honey (aw ≈ 0.6) is exposed to humid air (aw ≈ 0.7), it will absorb water from the air.
This is of interest to the formulator since it is water activity, not water content, that is most important to preservation. Most bacteria cannot grow at an aw below 0.9; yeasts cannot grow at an aw below 0.85; and molds cannot grow at an aw below 0.7. So-called dehydrated foods have aw lower than 0.61.

As a third year graduate student, I'm currently involved in a number of research and outreach projects. I work in astrochemistry and am advised by Anthony Remijan at National Radio Astronomy Observatory ad UVa. My experience to date is primarily with spectral line observing at radio wavelengths. I study the wildly diverse chemistry of various regions of the ISM with a focus on larger organic species. I am also interested in developing automated reduction and analysis techniques for broadband spectral line data.
I am lucky to be a student during a uniquely exciting time for astrochemistry, as newly available broad-bandwidth telescopes are truly game-changng for spectral line studies. Observational astrochemists now have the first opportunity to accumulate the physical and chemical data needed to construct a more comprehensive picture of interstellar chemistry. Rather than simply targeting individual molecular transitions, we are now obtaining vast amounts of information on handfuls of molecules in only a few hours of observing time. In order for astrochem theory to progress, observers must carefully design observations to provide evidence of how (by what chemical mechanisms) chemistry proceeds in space. Clues lie in the relative abundances of certain families of molecules with varying physical conditions. My graduate research includes astronomical observation aimed at building a mechanistic understanding of interstellar chemistry, towards the long-term goal of extending the predictive power of astrochemistry.
Education and public outreach is an important component of my work during graduate school because the importance of education for myself and for others has been reinforced throughout my life. Astronomy seems exemplary amongst the sciences for the high value that the community places on outreach. This is one of the reasons that I was drawn to astronomy, and a large part of the reason that I am attending UVa. As astronomers, we have a responsibility to improve the environment in which we work, to engage the public, and to train later generations of scientists. I get great joy from participating in outreach and in dialogue with astronomers.

If you're a champion perspirer like me, here are a couple tricks I've kept hidden up my disgustingly sodden sleeve.
I had all but given up on my ridiculously bad skin, which had gotten so bad that I was avoiding mirrors. But then I found a holistic dermatologist -- and he changed my f-ing LIFE!

I have to start with a confession. I once was such a lunatic. At the IDEC in England in 2011 I agreed with the view that it was a mistake to have the 2012 IDEC in Puerto Rico and then the 2013 IDEC in Colorado for precisely this reason. Two US IDECs in a row while other countries had to wait their turn? 'Unfair,' I thought.
What changed my mind? Two words. Puerto and Rico.
I have visited the US many times both for work and for pleasure. I have enjoyed every trip to 'the land of the free' and find it full of hospitable people from many backgrounds. I have been amazed by the richness and beauty of its enormously varied landscapes. But Puerto Rico is no more part of this than Ireland is part of England (a situation where I have loyalties in both directions). In fact there are many comparisons to be drawn between the two situations it seems to me. Not least that the Irish could only stand tall with their heads held high when they achieved independence from England and both can now be amicable, equal and free members of Europe.
Let's take the cultures for example. The Celtic culture of the Irish is quite different to that of the Anglo-Saxon/Norman French culture of the English (I do not have space here to consider the complexities of the six counties of the North of Ireland or the positions of Celtic Wales or Scotland, though the latter is steadily moving towards independence if the rise of the Scottish National Party continues.) The languages are different of course but it is much more than this. The Puerto Rican culture is Latin American with strong Spanish but also indigenous roots that make it unique even in this context. It is nothing like anything I have even seen in the US. I watched a playground full of first and second grade children in an elementary school in a poor part of Caguas move instantaneously to the rhythm of salsa music. I know that there is debate as to whether there is a music gene or not but it is hard not to believe in it when you see this kind of rhythmic response. The Irish word 'craic' or 'craich' or 'creagh' just doesn't translate into English. It means something like 'having a good time' and it always involves some spontanaeity and some music. I would bet a $100 that some such word exists in Puerto Rico though I don't know what it is.
This is not just about music and dance. Puerto Rico also has its own dynamic visual art, literature and poetry that springs from a lightness of heart as it does in Ireland. This has been substantially driven out of England at the grass roots level of the people by industrialisation and the commercialisation of culture as I fear it has in the US also.
Superficially there are things in Puerto Rico that give a US feel to the place. The road signs or the fittings in the hotel bathrooms or the Wendy's and Wallmarts. But of course these represent an overlay of political and economic domination that do not reflect the reality of the place and the people. Look a little deeper and see the El Pollos or the mercado or the vendors at the roadside or the amazing 'road of pork restaurants.'
I do not want this to be an anti-American or anti-English piece. I am English and I feel at home in the US. But the Irish part of me came to life in the warmth and spontaneity of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is an 'enchanted isle' as every car number plate tells you – as is Ireland. A place where there is a sparkle of love and delight in the eyes of its people which has its own strength and power.

KFFL.com's Fantasy Baseball Diamond Market gives you candid reviews and ratings of fantasy baseball players making MLB news in your rotisserie or head-to-head baseball leagues. Are they trade bait or worth your FAAB dollars in your fantasy baseball games?
Patrick Corbin, SP, Arizona Diamondbacks
Is Josh Collmenter getting a raw deal? Well, if you own him, you may think so. Arizona is still well within striking distance of a playoff spot, so they probably don't just want to get a long look at Corbin. As Nick Piecoro surmises, Kirk Gibson and his crew must believe that their restructured pitching staff gives them a better chance to win.
In 10 MLB games this year, his first, Corbin has a 4.15 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP and a 6.92 K/9. In his five starts, he's 2-3 with a 5.27 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP and a 5.93 K/9. Especially considering the environment and that his defense has put him in some tough spots, he's performed well for Triple-A Reno (3.44 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 9.46 K/9), however.
His marks listed at Minor League Central imply that he's indeed as hittable as the regularly high averages on balls in play against him suggest. That's where the danger lies. He'll give up the occasional dinger. But his stuff is good enough, especially judging from evaluations like those from Baseball America, to believe that his MLB rate of strikeouts (as a starter, at least) will increase a bit.
This left-hander has some upside, even if it isn't readily apparent. Like Wade Miley (whom I panned initially, a mistake I realized once I learned more about him), Corbin is one of the club's better prospects. The 2009 second-rounder (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) has two, perhaps even three, plus offerings. He just lacks polish (and meat on his bones). He could turn out to have deep-mixed utility, or at least to be a streaming option.
10-tm mixed: Pass 12-tm mixed: Pass 15-tm mixed: Watch NL-only: Acquire
Chris Volstad, SP, Chicago Cubs
The Cubs need someone to replace Ryan Dempster and Paul Maholm for the rest of the 2012 season. Casey Coleman is just a placeholder.
Volstad, as you may recall (although probably not, because if you actually paid attention, you probably struck it from your memory), posted a 7.94 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and a 5.36 K/9 in his nine starts before Chicago sent him to the farm. His marks with Triple-A Iowa since (5.17 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 6.56 K/9) aren't much more encouraging.
Many of the right-hander's indicators hint at some regression to his mean performance. Even the mean performance isn't a good bet to help you in roto leagues, at least for the rest of this season. There may still be long-term hope here, but otherwise, you're probably pressing your luck.

College of the Canyons participates in the Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan Program funded by the Federal government. Federal law requires that a student borrower must be enrolled at least half-time, defined as 6.0+ units per semester.
Federal Direct Stafford Student loans are one form of student "self help" financial aid. A Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan is money borrowed, that must be repaid with interest, to help you pay for your college expenses.
There are two types of Stafford Loans: Subsidized and Unsubsidized. Your unmet financial need, calculated by your cost of attendance (COA) minus your estimated family contribution (EFC), determines which type of Stafford Loan you qualify for.
For the Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized Student Loan, the federal government pays the interest on your Subsidized Loan while you are in school and during the six-month grace period after you leave school. The interest rate for Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2013 and before July 1, 2014 have a 3.86% interest rate.
Important change to Subsidized loan program: For all new borrowers who receive a loan on or after July 1, 2013 a 150% limitation is in effect. This means a student who is eligible for a subsidized loan will reach their subsidized limit at 150% of your program's published length. For instance, a student who is in an associate degree program, the 150% limitation is equivalent to 3 years. Once a student has reached their 150% limitation, their interest subsidy Loan limit will end on all outstanding loans that were disbursed after July 1, 2013, and interest will begin to accrue. Students are therefore encouraged to complete their program on a timely basis.
For the Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized Loan, the government does not pay the interest while a student is in school as it does for the subsidized loan. Unsubsidized loans have no interest subsidy, which means that you are responsible for paying the loan interest while you are in school. You may choose to postpone your interest payments, but any accrued interest will be added to your original loan amount. This is called capitalization. Independent students, those not required to report parental income and benefits, have Unsubsidized Loan borrowing limits in addition to the Subsidized loan limits for each academic year. Unsubsidized loans are not need-based; therefore the loan amount cannot exceed your cost of attendance minus your EFC, including any subsidized loan amount awarded. Stafford Loan interest rate for Unsubsidized Loans first disbursed between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014 is fixed at 3.86%.
The federal government charges a 1.051% loan origination fee for Stafford Student Loans first disbursed after July 1, 2013 and prior to December 1, 2013. The federal government charges a 1.072% loan origination fee for Stafford Student Loans first disbursed on or after December 1, 2013.
All students who wish to borrow a Federal Direct Stafford Student loan must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov AND your financial aid eligibility must already be determined BEFORE you can apply for a loan and complete the loan activation steps. To view your financial aid eligibility, log into My Canyons at my.canyons.edu and click on "Financial Aid Status".
Federal Pell Grant eligibility must be determined first before we will determine your loan eligibility or before we will process your Direct Loan application. This is to ensure that you get any grant money you are eligible for before choosing to borrow through the Stafford Loan Program.
College of the Canyons has a responsibility to evaluate all student loan requests on a case-by-case basis and the Federal authority [HEA Sec. 479(A)(c), 34 CFR 685.301(a)(8)] to reduce or deny loan requests for students that, in our professional judgment, are at serious risk for loan default. High levels of indebtedness (including loans from other colleges), coupled with a small amount of progress in an academic program, are common indicators of high risk for default. After evaluation, your loan request may be denied or reduced if you:

The good old days of late summer 2009.
It was a great time to buy a new car. Monthly new car sales in North America had plummeted to under 10 million units. Access to financing seemed to be near impossible for a lot of consumers. Brands were orphaned. Leasing collapsed. Banks were picky. The future was uncertain and… raw materials were cheap.
It was a good time to buy new at a deep, deep discount. Has that time passed?

Before you do anything ...
In the days of SCSI, serial, and other messy interconnects, the saying used to be, "Check the cables first. It's always the cables." But we have found that with Linux in general, the saying should be revised to, "Check the system clock --it's probably the system clock." An incorrect system clock may cause a myriad of issues, including desktops not coming up clean, applications quitting, and anything that uses code revision to fail.
Installer crashes or fails
Unplug all attached devices, including 3rd party PCI cards, FireWire drives, and USB hubs and accessories before installing. These may cause the install to fail. Following successful installation, it is recommended you re-attach each device one at a time, boot, use "kudzu" to configure the new device if detected and prompted; complete the boot sequence and then halt your machine. Add the next device and repeat this procedure.
If Wicd Network Manager dies after reboot ...
If you modify the Wicd Preferences (ie: select 'Automatically reconnect on connection loss') and then reboot, you may find that Wicd fails to launch, instead presenting you with an error message. This is a known issue with Wicd which will be resolved in the next release. In the mean time, do the following to quickly resolve this issue:When you launch Wicd next time, it should just work.
- Launch the Terminal (looks like a small, black TV on your iBar
- Log in as root:
sudo bash - [ENTER]- Enter your root passwd (was entered by you when YDL was installed.
- nano /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf [ENTER]
- Change 'signal_display_type = False' to 'signal_display_type = 0'
- Then Save and Exit the editor:
(y)es to save
(y)es to exit- You may then quit the Terminal program from the File menu and reboot your computer from the YDL menu.
Why can't I watch the YouTube videos?
Due to the use of a proprietary, commercial codec, we are not able to ship Gnash with support for YouTube videos. This codec may be obtained from 3rd party sources.
Sony PS3 Specific
Boot Issue with the 80GB and 160GB PS3 Running YDL 6.1 - ISSUE FIXED
We are currently experiencing a YDL boot failure issue with the 80 GB PS3 (model number 98015) and the 160GB PS3 (model number 900006). When attempting to boot into YDL, either via the the Boot Other OS option or via rebooting, a call trace is displayed on the screen, preventing you from logging into YDL. If you are experiencing this issue, update your kernel.
Known Issues with GameOS 2.43, 2.49, 2.50
At this time, it is not recommended to update to GameOS 2.43, 2.49 or 2.50 as the USB drive and wifi capabilities are not functional. In addition, there is an issue with rebooting or shutting down YDL, including booting into the GameOS. As a workaround, you can use the power switch in the back of the PS3.
GameOS updates 2.40 and 2.41
According to Sony's website, "An update to the PS3™ system software was released on July 8, 2008. You can use this update to upgrade your system software to version 2.41. This update corrects a problem that prevented a limited number of PS3 systems from starting properly after updating to version 2.40."
Failure to gain proper video settings at install
With the launch of YDL v6.0 for the PS3 on Tuesday, February 5, the Guide to Installation failed note the revised TAB options at the kboot prompt, resulting in non-functional install. Please force reboot your PS3 and follow the revised Guide to Installation has been posted.
Can't get your monitor or TV to work with Linux on a PS3?
- Make certain you review the PS3 HOWTOs under Audio/Video. Having read the PS3 HOWTOs, if you have a Component or HDMI cable between your PS3 and your monitor/TV and yet you are presented with a "text-based" (looks like DOS) interface, it is likely you have chosen a video setting in the GameOS that Linux does not like as the video settings in GameOS carry over to Linux.
- Return to the GameOS and try various Display settings, starting with the highest possibe and work down.
- If a setting does not work, your YDL Installer will be presented in "text-mode" (looks likes DOS). If this occurs, power-down the PS3 and return to GameOS to try again.
- Continue to try Display settings in GameOS and subsequently boot into the YDL installer until you find a setting that works for both.
- Once you have found the perfect combination, complete the installation.
Apple PowerPC Specific
Radeon 9200 with Apple Cinema Display = no go
It appears that the combination of a Radeon 9200 graphics card (found in Mac minis and G4 towers) may not be able to talk to certain Apple Cinema displays, keeping graphical and potentially text modes from working. At this point in time, there is no work-around other than to use a different monitor.

In A Blue Funk
I finally forced myself to finish the borders on the blue hourglass star quilt today. I'd been in such a funk about it. I guess the thoughts on the borders were so mixed that I just lost interest in finishing it. I know I shouldn't let other people's opinions cause doubts in my own creativity, but there you have it. I do value what other people say and think and I second guess myself.
The problem was...I had almost all of the hour glass units for the border done before I thought that maybe it wasn't such a good border idea...and my flame went out.
But now, reminding myself that DONE is better than PERFECT..I decided to finish it as I originally thought, and I do like it. Sometimes it is okay for a border to be just "fine" instead of...WOW...I think this is one of those times.
I also finished the quilting on my friend's tshirt quilt. Binding is done too. I think there is a smear on my camera lens...after uploading the pics it showed up and I don't have time to retake everything, so...deal with the smear :c)
I'm winding down finally on customer stuff. Only 2 more to go that HAVE to be done before Christmas. We are leaving on our Christmas cruise on the 16th...and back on the 23rd..so everything that has to be sent out has to be sent by the 15th.
The other fun thing is that I'm going down to FL to spend New Years with Tonya! I found a great deal on cheaptickets.com yesterday round trip for $188 including the taxes....can't beat it! So...I'll be packing up a couple of projects after getting back from the cruise and heading back down to Fl....I'm sure we will have lots of pics to upload while Tonya and I have a sew-a-thon!

I think the border IS outstanding! And the whole quilt is GORGOUS! We are always harder on ourselves and our work... takes friends and strangers to get us to see how good we REALLY are! Have fun on the cruise and the trip to FL. SOunds like another full month for you! I do enjoy reading your blog and seeing what all you are up to.
Becky - employy at the W, Cola JoAnn'sWoohoo for you and Tonya getting together for the New Year! Take TONS of pics for us, pleeeaaase!!!
I think we have to remind ourselves that *fine* can be WOW! I think it's perfect...good job. We have to listen to those inner voices...they know what they're talking about...most of the time!
Love your quilting on the t-shirt quilt. That green sashing and quilting is perfect!I love the hour glass quilt, Bonnie. The border adds some real pizazz to it, IMNSHO. And the t-shirt quilt is adorable. I didn't see any smear.
Have big fun on your cruise. Sounds like another honeymoon to me. Kick back and enjoy. I won't say relax because you are like the Energizer Bunny. Always on the move. I'll rest for you. Hugs,

In this Article
What are the complications of achalasia?The complications of achalasia include weight loss and aspiration pneumonia. There often is inflammation of the esophagus, called esophagitis, which is caused by the irritating effect of food and fluids that collect in the esophagus for prolonged periods of time. There may be esophageal ulcerations as well. Of potential concern is the possibility that there is an increased occurrence of cancer of the esophagus in patients with achalasia. However, there is insufficient scientific evidence indicating that achalasia increases a person's risk of developing esophageal cancer, so authorities are currently not recommending that patients with achalasia undergo regular upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for cancer surveillance. How is achalasia diagnosed?The diagnosis of achalasia often is suspected on the basis of the history. Patients usually describe a progressive (worsening) of dysphagia for solid and liquid food over a period of many months to years. They may note regurgitation of food, chest pain, or loss of weight. Rarely, the first symptom is aspiration pneumonia. Because patients typically learn to compensate for their dysphagia by taking smaller bites, chewing well, and eating slowly, the diagnosis of achalasia often is delayed by months or even years. The delay in diagnosis of achalasia is unfortunate because it is believed that early treatment--before marked dilation of the esophagus occurs-can prevent esophageal dilation and its complications. The dysphagia in achalasia also is different from the dysphagia of esophageal stricture (narrowing of the esophagus due to scarring) and esophageal cancer. In achalasia, dysphagia occurs with both solid and liquid food, whereas in esophageal stricture and cancer, the dysphagia typically occurs only with solid food and not liquids, until very late in the progression of the obstruction. X-ray studies The diagnosis of achalasia usually is made by an X-ray study called a video-esophagram in which video X-rays of the esophagus are taken after barium is swallowed. The barium fills the esophagus, and the emptying of the barium into the stomach can be observed. In achalasia, the video-esophagram shows that the esophagus is dilated (enlarged or widened), with a characteristic tapered narrowing of the lower end, sometimes likened to a "bird's beak." In addition, the barium stays in the esophagus longer than normal before passing into the stomach. Esophageal manometry Another test, esophageal manometry, can demonstrate specifically the abnormalities of muscle function that are characteristic of achalasia, that is, the failure of the muscle of the esophageal body to contract with swallowing and the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax. For manometry, a thin tube that measures the pressure generated by the contracting esophageal muscle is passed through the nose, down the back of the throat and into the esophagus. In a patient with achalasia, no peristaltic waves are seen in the lower half of the esophagus after swallows, and the pressure within the contracted lower esophageal sphincter does not fall with the swallow. In patients with vigorous achalasia, a strong simultaneous contraction of the muscle may be seen in the lower esophageal body. An advantage of manometry is that it can diagnose achalasia early in its course at a time at which the video-esophagram may be normal. Endoscopy Endoscopy also is helpful in the diagnosis of achalasia although it can be normal early in achalasia. Endoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible fiberoptic tube with a light and camera on the end is swallowed. The camera provides direct visualization of the inside of the esophagus. One of the earliest endoscopic findings in achalasia is resistance as the endoscope is passed from the esophagus and into the stomach due to the high pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter. Later, endoscopy may reveal a dilated esophagus and a lack of peristaltic waves. Endoscopy also is important because it excludes the presence of esophageal cancer and other causes of dysphagia. Two conditions can mimic achalasia, esophageal cancer and Chagas' disease of the esophagus. Both can give rise to video-esophageal and manometric abnormalities that are indistinguishable from achalasia. Fortunately, endoscopy usually can exclude the presence of cancer. Chagas' disease is an infection caused by the parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, and is limited to Central and South America. It is passed to humans through insect bites from the reduviid bug. The parasite is shed in the bug's feces at the time it is biting. Scratching the bite breaks the skin and allows the parasite to enter the body. The parasite spreads throughout the body but takes up primary residency in the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the rectum, though it also often affects the muscle of the heart. In the gastrointestinal tract, the parasite causes degeneration of the nerves controlling the muscles and can lead to abnormal function anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. When it affects the esophagus, the abnormalities are identical to those of achalasia. Acute Chagas' disease occurs mostly in children. In those individuals who are seen at a much later time for problems of swallowing, the acute illness is long-gone. The diagnosis of Chagas' disease can be suspected if there is involvement of other parts of the gastrointestinal tract, such as dilation of the small intestine or the colon, and the heart. The best method for making a diagnosis is by serological tests looking for antibodies in the blood against the parasite. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

The Best Open Source Email & Collaboration Software
I am using Active Directory for user information for Zarafa. With the commando 'zarafa-admin –l' can I retrieve a list with Zarafa users, however it is not possible for (certain) users to log in into the webaccess or Outlook, what is wrong?
In Active Directory it is possible to set, for every user on which computer he/she may login. For verification of the username and password of a user, a computer will bind to the Active Directory. When the name or ip-address is not in the list of computers, the username and password is not verified by the Active Directory. The same would happen when the name or ip-address of the Zarafa server is not available in the list of computers, so the user cannot login to Zarafa.
For checking/changing this, you can take the following steps:

According to a release from the Merrill School Board, on June 6 the board voted to terminate Jay Peterson. Peterson was the High School football coach and a middle school teacher. Prior to his termination he was on paid leave following allegations he was tied to a Langlade County drug ring.
Jay Peterson is the brother of Scot Peterson, a retired teacher from the Antigo School District. Scot Peterson is facing 26 charges in Langlade County relating to the sale and purchase of Marijuana.
Interim Superintendent, Bruce Anderson told NewsChannel 7 in January, Pete Miller, a former athletic director and scorekeeper for the school is no longer working for the district due to his alleged involvement. However, Miller is still a referee for the WIAA and may have contact with the school in that way. Anthony Crabb, a substitute teacher has also been relieved from teaching future classes with the school. To clarify, Miller and Crabb are not on paid leave.
In the criminal complaint filed against John Lund, Jay Peterson says he had picked up a bag of "dope" from Scot Peterson once or twice. He also says he knew of other people from Merrill who were picking it up there, too.
According to a criminal complaint, during an investigation in November 2011, at the home of Scot Peterson, 55, officers discovered marijuana and drug paraphernalia items. During the search Scot Peterson told detectives he bought about three 1-oz. bags of marijuana from John Lund, the former Antigo High School coach and elementary principal, that month. Scot Peterson told officers he normally bought marijuana from another man. Scot Peterson said he had been selling marijuana to his friends for five years and would also deliver marijuana on roadsides, mostly near Bass Lake.

I am a freelance creative resource, website designer/developer, marketing consultant, SEO developer, as well as a photographer.
I have a thorough understanding on how to market your company through any media arena which includes online SEO strategies.
I work closely with my clients creating amazing designs and marketing campaigns that will help sell their products and services.
I am passionate about what I do and love creating great marketing solutions. I preach to my clients, "Image is Everything...No matter what you are selling!"
I work with companies throughout the US and abroad, from small start-ups to Fortune 500 corporations. The experience I have gained over my 25 years in business transcends into what I create.
I wear many hats. I understand what it takes to get your name in front of a potential buyer. I create campaigns that stategize your product and out think your competition.
I listen to the client. Set goals and deadlines for a respective project. Research what their competition is doing. Establish a budget and after your approval, get to work.
I love creating and I love to watch my client's reaction when I present them with that homerun hitting idea. I recognize I have a God given talent for seeing a solution in my head way before I create it.
After graduating from University of Akron with a BFA in Creative and Photography, my goal was to one day start my own creative/marketing firm. I realized I had to pay my dues in order to gain the experiences to service my clients with the knowledge and talent they deserve. Most institutions of higher learning does not teach what you really need to know when you get to the "real world". I recognized that and became a spongue with every opportunity I had.
I worked for several large advertising agencies as art director and was quickly promoted to creative director. I worked for a high end recreational watercraft manufacturer in Florida as their marketing/advertising director and now, I work as a marketing consultant with a new medical vending start-up...a very exciting opportunity.
I am married to a great lady who has her own company (Start With The Inside) and together, we have two wonderful young adults. I love sports, baseball and golf in particular, and have a huge passion for mountain biking as well as staying in shape (P90X).
When I started in this industry, my design tools were tissues and markers. There were no computers or digital printers. As I look back, I am
amazed what I accomplished. I was the first designer in a market to invest in a Macintosh computer. It did not take long for the computer industry to introduce better and faster machines and software for the creative industry. I learned everything on my own...how to work on a computer, the idiosyncracies of each piece of software, how to build a website, how to create a solid SEO site, and invested in high end photography equipment.
Over the years I have learned to wear many hats. If I didn't know how to do something, I learned it. If I was good at something, I honed it and
with the experiences gained, I found I bring many talents to the table...brochure design, branding and corporate identity, tradeshow booth design, presentations that help a client sell, marketing consultation, corporate marketing and brand critiques, website development (HTML5, Wordpress, PHP, java scripts, mysql, jquery, etc.), and many other marketing platforms. I also do photography and know commercial printing extensively.
I design and produce magazines, books, and trade publications and have experience in product design as well as interior/exterior design.
I have learned one very important thing...listen to the client! I listen! I hear what the clients want and when I arrive with a solution, 99 times
out of 100, my solutions are exactly what the client had in mind. I also work closely with my clients on budgets. I understand times are tough
and companies are hesitant to spend a lot of money on their advertising and marketing campaigns. I promise, I am very competitive, I will not
cut corners to give you what you want. I feel my talent, experience and work ethic in unparralled in today's market.
First, I promise I will work hard for you. I have several Macintosh computers and an array of other hardware devices at my fingertips. I have collected an extensive marketing library to help with design stymulis. I have a great working relationship with many outside vendors to help get
your project completed. I will work on a design that is right for you and fine tune it until we arrive at the solution right for you. I have a great
work ethic and in the years I have been in business, I have NEVER missed a dealine.
Second, before we begin, I will present you with a "budget analysis" that outlines every facet of your project. I want you to know up-front what
the project will cost. I WILL NOT present you with any surprises when a project is completed. What I quote you from the start is what I will
bill you when we finish, (as long as you don't re-invent the wheel in the middle of the project).
Finally, when I have completed your project, I will hand over every file, font, and photo used for the production of your project.
You paid for it, you own it, I will send it to you, no questions!
Please review my work. Everything thing you see was designed and produced by me. I also did most of the photography.
Let me know what I can create for you.
I have worked with several designers
and have yet to find one with the creative talent, knowledge of marketing, and work ethic that is better than Steves.
Steve is a very rare find. He has the best creative mind in the industry. Everything he has created for us stops nothing short of brilliant.
I love working with Steve. Not only does he have a great talent for design. he has
a great sense of humor.
I am very interested in who you are and what you do. I am confident I can help any business in polishing your image and help you grow your business and beat your competition. Please contact me by sending me a quick note or feel free to call me anytime.
Feel free to contact me for any of your projects. I'll get back to you right away!
