Libra Halloween Costume Ideas
Libra's pitch in and get involved with Halloween to be close with the people they care about.
Libras rarely go to a Halloween costume party as a solo act.
Libra is the sign of relationships and enjoys being a two-some or part of a group of people dressing up for Halloween parties.
- Adam and Eve
- Devil and Angel
- Cop and Criminal
Libra Prefer Couples Costumes
Whatever Libras wear for Halloween there is great thought that goes into every part of the outfit. Their partner only needs to agree with them as to what they will need to wear to dress up as part of a twosome.
- Brad and Anjolie
- Barak and Michele Obama
- Kanye West & Kim Kardashian
Libras have a hard time straying from their firm rules of fashion and good taste in clothes.
Libra's Costume Traits Have Style
When Libras do stray from their fashion rules they maintain the style of whoever they imitate. They don't take liberties with costumes normally associated with a witch, a pirate, rock star, or royalty for example.
- Hugh Hefner and Playboy Bunny
- Beyonce and Jay Z
- Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes
Libra's Make Do
Libras already have most of the clothes they need in the closet for their contemporary costumes. They only need a wig, or mask, and some make-up to finish the look.
- Adam and Eve
- Devil and Angel
- Hula Dancer and Drummer
Timeless Halloween costumes for couples give Libras a wide range of choices that can be sexy, sensible, outrageous, cute and/or entertaining.
- Vampire and Victim
- Barbie and Ken
- Pirate and Wench
Libras stay in character all night, playing out a hidden side of them self, while imitating a completely different personality.

Backstage with Baldy
Buenos Aires – September 28th
I've had the extremely good fortune of being able to travel all over the world with Alice In Chains.
It's an opportunity I never would have had otherwise, and I'm eternally grateful to the band for letting me be a part of the big adventure.
As a seasoned global traveller, I've picked up some knowledge and learned a few tricks along the way.
Part of the knowledge I've gained is the realization that most countries outside the U.S. don't have delicious Diet Mountain Dew, so one of the subsequent tricks I've learned is to mole away a stash in a road case, which is what I did for our journey down to South America.
Since our road cases obviously don't go to the hotels with us, I'll grab a can or two and stow those in my luggage to enjoy in my room on non-show days.
You've heard the phrase "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"?
Well, so is the road to Buenos Aires, and my intentions were just to enjoy a cold beverage of my choice.
But you probably haven't heard the phrase "A can of Diet Mountain Dew exploded in my luggage and soaked half of my clean shirts and underwear."
I just came up with that one, because that's what I discovered upon our arrival at the hotel in Buenos Aires.
Every good drug mule knows the risks they take when they smuggle contraband from one country to another, and it turns out that muling Diet Mountain Dew is no different.
And I paid the price.
More than being dismayed by my new Mountain Dew scented wardrobe, I was bummed about losing 12 ounces of liquid heaven, all because some big lug in the baggage department manhandled my precious cargo. Not cool.
Now that we've established that I'm a doofus who can't properly pack a beverage, lets talk about Buenos Aires, Argentina, and South America in general.
I don't speak Spanish and I don't speak Portuguese.
Hell, I have trouble with English half the time, so being down here and trying to communicate is rough.
I've mastered the art of ordering a sandwich at Subway by pointing, but beyond that I'm not so good at making my point.
Basically anytime I go to a store or a restaurant and have to interact with a waiter or cashier, I point to myself, say "English", shrug my shoulders, and generally look like a dope.
It can make for a lot of uncomfortable exchanges, but the all time best happened when I phoned down for room service this morning.
I hit the room service button and the man on the other end answered in Spanish.
My experience in virtually every hotel we've ever stayed in is that people who answer the phones are bilingual, which this man was, but for some reason he and I weren't on the same page.
I said, "I'd like to order the American breakfast please."
His response? "Check the middle drawer in your desk. It should be in there."
Wow. I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that, so after a couple of awkward silent seconds, I asked if I'd reached room service, was assured that yes, I had, and then I started over.
Everything got straightened out and I got my breakfast, but that's just one small example of the kind of communication breakdowns that are commonplace in a foreign land.
What isn't commonplace are the kind of fans you find in Argentina.
My brother works for Pearl Jam and told me what I could look forward to down here, but WOW, it went far beyond what I was expecting.
There was way more jumping and bouncing than I've ever seen, singing along to everything (a lot of times drowning out the band), and most unique of all, singing along to riffs and solos.
Let that sink in for a second.
Imagine 8,000 people singing the opening riff to It Ain't Like That, or Check My Brain. I've never seen anything like it, and it was amazing.
I got goose bumps so many times I can't even remember.
I've thrown out a lot of superlatives over the years, whether it's describing the band or their fans, but I'm at a loss for words to describe what I saw tonight.
I feel like I'm back at the Sao Paulo Subway trying to order a turkey club.
So while words may not always do the trick, music is the ultimate international communicator, and I was very fortunate to have witnessed an incredible display of it tonight in Buenos Aires.
Seriously one of the best nights of my life working for this band.
Backstage With Baldy
Atlanta – Sept. 18th
We had two days of rehearsals in Atlanta in order for the band to shake the rust off and break in a couple of new crew guys for their Music Midtown appearance. Everything went really well, so a decision was...

Avenues toward simplified Boolean modeling of signal transduction networks
Reka Albert (May 8, 2012)
Please install the Flash Plugin
Over the past five years my group, in collaboration with wet-bench biologists, developed and validated asynchronous Boolean models of several signal transduction networks. Along the way we have encountered obstacles related to the lack of timing knowledge and the large size of the state space. In this talk I will present three methodologies we developed to overcome these obstacles. First, from a comparative analysis of several asynchronous update methods we concluded that updating a single, randomly selected node at each time instant offers the best combination of information and economy.
Second, we developed a two-step network reduction method which was able to reduce the number of variables by 90% in two different systems without affecting their dynamic behaviors. Third, we proposed an integration of Boolean rules into graph theoretical analysis and showed that this semi-structural method can identify critical signal mediators on par with dynamic models.

Initial reaction: bad hire. But that's because we're like Pavlov's dogs here in Minnesota.
We've been trained to respond to certain things in certain ways. If the Timberwolves hire someone, well, it's a bad hire. Why? Because the Timberwolves did it. And they do bad things. Dumb things. The kind of stuff that makes people grimace and curse.
So when word leaked on Monday that the Wolves had hired Rick Adelman as coach, I'm sure everybody rolled their eyes and said, "Oh no! Not him!" Then they grimaced and cursed. However, a little time has passed since the news became public. And perhaps some folks have looked a bit closer at David Kahn's latest move.
I've looked at it frontward, backward, side-to-side and from every other angle I could come up with. And the bottom line is that there is just no getting around it:
This was a very good hire.
Once that initial prejudice with regards to all things Timberwolves wears off, it's not hard to see why. Simply put, the Wolves hired the best available coach. Period. Adelman is a winner who is well known for his teaching skills. He runs a tight ship, maneuvers his players nicely during games and almost always has his team in the thick of things. He brings instant respect to the on-court product.
Now, Kahn could have hired a sack of cornmeal to coach the team and I'd still consider it an improvement over Kurt Rambis. But getting Adelman was a remarkable achievement. First, the guy was open about wanting to sit out a year to just sort of take a breather.
Kahn and Taylor must have sold Adelman on the Wolves' potential. That should energize the team's long-suffering fan base. After all, if Adelman thinks enough of the team to re-think his sabbatical, then maybe there really is something here with Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love, Derrick Williams and Michael Beasley, provided the latter isn't one toke over the line.
Adelman, 65, has nothing to prove. He has close to 950 NBA victories under his belt. But he is no retread. Adelman has been active, coaching solid teams and enjoying success. Among all the candidates, Adelman was positioned right in the Wolves' sweet spot. He is mature and experienced, but not, uh, moldy like a Larry Brown or Don Nelson. Plus he is a proven winner and therefore not a gamble like younger candidates such as Sam Mitchell and Terry Porter.
He also is expensive. He insisted on a four-year deal, and the Wolves eventually gave in. That means Taylor will be paying two coaches for a while as Rambis collects on the two years remaining on his contract. That's got to hurt. Perhaps it all will be worth it.
When Kahn and Taylor hired Rambis they thought they were getting an upbeat, enthusiastic, teaching type of coach. As it turned out, they ended up with something else altogether. With Adelman there will be no surprises. He's not going to morph into something else 12 months down the road. At this point in his career, he is what he is.
And what he is should be perfect for the Timberwolves.

AP Poll Bias … Against Cats
A skewed survey on pet favoritism finds cats coming up short in Americans' eyes despite there being 93 million lovely felines in the U.S.
January 12, 2010 - 12:00 am
Other felines disprove an old myth — that cats only wake their owners when they want to eat — by performing heroic rescues. In North Carolina, a cat persistently meowed, awakening his owner and leading him downstairs to a screen door, where the man could see that the neighboring building, a four-unit condo, had gone up in flames. As a result of the cat's early warning, three families were safely evacuated.
In Indiana, a cat saved her own family from carbon monoxide poisoning by meowing wildly until they got up out of bed. And in Michigan, a girl was saved from a sexual assault when her cat attacked the predator. Good kitty!
Perhaps cats look out for us because human and feline DNA have much in common; scientific study of the cat genome is leading to treatments for retinitis pigmentosa and AIDS, and has already resulted in effective smart drugs used to treat cancer.
"Cats rule, dogs drool" is a favorite refrain of cat lovers who dislike dogs, but speaking as an equal-opportunity animal lover who lives with both species, I vote against racing to the bottom. Instead, consider the position of a few famous people on the cat issue, then decide which camp you'd like to join.
Historically significant cat haters include Genghis Khan, Cardinal Richelieu, Napoleon, Hitler, and Mussolini. Now let's move on to the cat lovers. Ailurophiles include Sir Winston Churchill, whose orange tabby, Jock, attended cabinet meetings. Cat-loving American leaders include Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and George W. Bush. Sir Isaac Newton is credited with inventing the kitty door-flap, so his cat could be at liberty to let himself out while the inventor was stuck indoors, engrossed in research. Another talented inventor, Leonardo da Vinci, opined that "the smallest feline is a masterpiece."
Albert Schweitzer's cat had a habit of falling asleep on his writing arm, so the Nobel Peace Prize winner taught himself to write prescriptions with his other hand, so as not to disturb the kitty. "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats," Schweitzer wrote. Famous musical cat lovers include Frederic Chopin (whose pet inspired "The Cat Waltz"), Frank Zappa, Carly Simon, Nina Simone, and John Lennon.
Lennon was a client of the renowned New York psychic Frank Andrews, who once told me that "dogs are emotion; cats are the mind." Andrews lives with a Border Collie, so he's not suggesting dogs are dumb; he's simply giving props to the feline vibe, and his insightful statement must be the reason I write most efficiently with one cat in my lap and another on the chair behind me.
Among the cat-loving literati are Samuel Johnson, whose cat Hodge inspired not only his owner (who fed him oysters), but also an amusing blog; Sir Walter Scott; Edgar Allan Poe; Charles Dickens; Mark Twain (who at one time had 11 pet cats); Ernest Hemingway; Hunter S. Thompson; M.F.K. Fisher; Clementine Paddleford; Julia Child; Julie Powell, the author who made a career of worshiping Julia Child; and Ron Rosenbaum, whose cat Stumpy was a media presence in his own right.
T.S. Eliot's wonderful book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats is the basis for a long-running stage musical called Cats (its composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber, is also a feline fancier). Poet and former NEA Chairman Dana Gioia adores cats; his book Interrogations at Noon includes the charming "Alley Cat Love Song." Visual artists inspired by the mews include Manet, Renoir, Klimt, Warhol, and Cocteau, who observed, "I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul."
Loving cats is non-denominational; people of all faiths have made room in their hearts for these soulful, long-whiskered creatures. The prophet Mohammad loved cats; so did Pope Leo XII, whose cat Micette lived with him in the Vatican. The current pontiff, Benedict XVI, is such a cat lover that his authorized biography, a children's book titled Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told by a Cat, was "authored" by Chico the cat (with help from Italian journalist Jeanne Perego)!
Philosophers also find cats captivating; they range from Michel de Montaigne (who wrote, "When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her?") to Eckhart Tolle. The latter doesn't doesn't disclose much personal information, but he revealed, in his best-selling book The Power of Now, that "I have lived with several Zen masters, all of them cats." We all could use a live-in Zen master — or two — to keep us playfully, joyfully in the moment.
Please check out the feline talent at your local animal shelter and consider adopting today.

How can we conserve one of the most species-rich rainforests on the planet?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
The restoration of Borneo's remaining rainforest is essential—but the science guiding and underpinning the practice of rainforest restoration is woefully incomplete.
The rainforests of Borneo are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They are home to thousands of plant species, countless types of insect, a vast array of birds, and some of the world's most iconic and endangered mammals: the orangutan, Sumatran rhino, clouded leopard, and pygmy elephant. The rainforests not only support this biodiversity but also capture and store carbon, protect watersheds, support decomposition and nutrient cycling, and stabilize the soil. But rainforests are under constant threat from unsustainable logging practices, farming, and climate change.
This project studies how logging and land use change have impacted forests, and how resilient these rainforests are to the likely effects of climate change. As a volunteer, you'll trek deep into the heart of the tropical rainforest and, with a team of scientists and research assistants, assess the structure of the rainforest. You'll help determine how key plant and animal groups have been impacted by logging and fragmentation, and how this disturbance has affected soil moisture, decomposition, and soil erosion.
This information is critical if we are to find ways to conserve Borneo's remaining forests—and provide a strong scientific foundation for their restoration.
*Includes accommodations, food, and all related research costs.
10+ days - See all dates
The goal of this project is to maintain the health and strength of the Bornean rainforest in the face of changes in climate and land use.
Can Borneo's rainforests recover from damage and survive climate change?
Over recent decades, Borneo's rainforests have been intensively logged or cleared. These activities threaten the crucial services the forests provide, such as carbon storage, soil stabilization, and watershed protection, as well as many plant and animal species—including 15,000 species of flowering plant, more than 220 mammals, 420 birds, 250 reptiles, almost 150 amphibians, over 400 fish, and many tens of thousands of species of insects and other invertebrates.
The forests that do remain are often highly degraded or scattered. At present, we don't know whether the forests can recover or to what degree they can survive the impact of climate change.
Join Earthwatch researchers in the heart of Borneo's rainforest, where you'll study the impact of climate change on soil, plants, and wildlife.
The goal of this project is to maintain the health and strength of the Bornean rainforest in the face of changes in climate and land use. As a volunteer, you'll take part in some of all of the following activities: assessing the presence and density of tree seedlings; helping to measure seedling survival and growth; planting new seedlings; measuring carbon in plants; assessing carbon storage and decomposition; collecting and sorting specimens of plants, insects, and other animals; taking rainfall measurements; assessing topography, vegetation types, and canopy cover; measuring soil erosion; and collecting and analyzing soil samples.
Borneo, the third largest island in the world, is shared by Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia. The Malaysian state of Sabah, which makes up the northern part of Borneo, boasts some of the world's most beautiful rainforests, as well as great cultural diversity. Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, draws many visitors, as do the beaches and nature reserves.
You'll stay in the Danum Valley Conservation Area and the Malua Forest Reserve, which contain some the most important areas of protected rainforest in Southeast Asia.
The forest has an incredibly diverse flora and is home to some of Borneo's most iconic and threatened species: orangutan, pygmy elephant, Sumatran rhino, and clouded leopard. You'll be working at the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment in the Malua Forest Reserve.
This is a summary:
When you arrive in Borneo, you'll be met by project staff at the Hyatt Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, and then fly as a group to Lahad Datu and the Danum Valley Field Centre. That evening, you'll be given an introductory lecture and an overview of team's activities. On the second day, you'll trek into the primary forest at Danum Valley, and then depart for Malua. Once in the field, you'll spend your days hiking through the forest and helping researchers to:
Lunch and afternoon tea will be served in the field; dinner and optional activities such as talks by visiting scientists will be available at your accommodations.
Day 6 will be dedicated to recreation. You'll start out early for a trip to Borneo Rainforest Lodge for a guided walk in the primary forest, lunch at the lodge, and a walk through the forest canopy on an elevated pathway.
On your final day (Day 10 or 11 depending upon your team), you'll leave Malua for a visit to a oil palm plantation and briefing on forest fragmentation before heading back to Kota Kinabalu Airport.
Over recent decades, Borneo's rainforests have been intensively logged or cleared. These activities threaten the crucial services the forests provide, such as carbon storage and soil stabilization.
If climate change is to be controlled, then the tropical rainforests must be conserved and restored. Scientific research has a crucial part to play in this.
Earthwatch scientist Dr. Glen Reynolds' research may hold the key to managing Borneo's rainforests and the plants and animals that depend upon them.
Earthwatch scientist Dr. Glen Reynolds' research may hold the key to managing Borneo's rainforests and the plants and animals that depend upon them.
You'll spend one day at the Danum Valley Field Centre and the rest of the time at the Malua Base Camp. Accommodation in both locations is basic but comfortable, consisting of male and female dormitory-style rooms. At both locations, you'll find modern plumbing as well as electric fans, washing machines, seating areas, and separate dining facilities. In Danum Valley there are small tourist shops at the field center and the Borneo Rainforest Lodge where souvenirs may be purchased. At Malua there is a small, family-run shop where drinks and snacks can be bought.
Meals will be provided in the cafeterias at Danum Valley and Malua.The food will be simple and delicious Malaysian-style home cooking, including steamed rice, vegetables, chicken, and fish.
Experience all that rainforest living has to offer in basic but comfortable accommodations.

New group plans tennis revival at Cobb's Glen in Anderson
ANDERSON COUNTY - An organization hopes to turn Cobb's Glen Country Club's aging tennis facility into a draw for tennis players from the Anderson community.
More Than Tennis LLC is working with Cobb's Glen to renovate the pro shop at the subdivision, add a covered deck area and upgrade the tennis courts.
Warwick Bashford, a tennis pro who has worked in Europe but also at Brookstone Meadows in Anderson and in Greenville, is heading the effort to revitalize the facility. Bashford has coached world-ranked tennis players, including Amelie Mauresmo in 1998 and Marcos Baghdatis in 2003, according to his Web site.
"I've been entrusted by people to put this club back on the map," said Bashford, who was born in South Africa and educated in England.
Bashford's company, More Than Tennis LLC, is contracting with Cobb's Glen for five years to develop a tennis program for all ages, including juniors and leagues, he said.
"The first phase is taking over and improving a facility that was running down," he said.
Work already has started on the clubhouse/pro shop and addition of a covered deck at the tennis center. The five asphalt and two clay courts will be resurfaced, and windscreens, tennis ball machines and more are being added.
"Basically it's getting a face lift to attract new members," Bashford said.
Randy Hart, a business manager for More Than Tennis, said membership requests have been sent to members of All About Golf, a group of clubs in the area. The members can join for a discount, Hart said.
"The goal is to get tennis to be a bigger part of Cobb's Glen than it has been over the years," he said.
Bashford said he plans to emphasize a "quick start" format for junior players developed by the U.S. Tennis Association, encourage family involvement and league tennis. Those who join receive unlimited use of the tennis courts and ball machines, can be part of planned social events and more.
"We want to create a community of members that works as a team to improve the club," he said. "The object is to teach more than tennis. We want to develop people through the sport of tennis."
Longer-range plans include offering wheelchair tennis and working with underprivileged youth, Bashford said. The tennis facility will be open to the public and not exclusive to Cobb's Glen, he said.

Two hurt in hit-skip at East 9th and St. Clair; Witnesses chase after car for description
CLEVELAND - Two people were injured during a hit-and-run crash near the Galleria on Monday.
Just before noon, a 2011 Kia hit another car at the intersection of East 9th Street and St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland police said. The white Kia then drove onto the sidewalk and hit two pedestrians, police and witnesses said.
The victims are Scripps employees, Mike Brookbank and Tom Genovese of "The List." Both were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center.
"We need an ambulance please two people. I'm at East 9th Street downtown at St. Clair. A car just run them over," a man told 911 dispatchers. "I can't tell. I'm not a doctor, but they're on the floor."
Genovese said the SUV ran over his foot and side-swiped him. He probably has a broken arm, possibly caused by the driver's side mirror.
"I'm looking out the window. I heard it. There's a police officer there with them. He's on his phone. He might be calling for help. I heard it. The car went up onto the sidewalk and hit them," a woman told a 911 dispatcher from a nearby building.
Two witnesses chased after the vehicle and were able to get a good description of the SUV. Police said the car then took off onto Interstate 90 eastbound.
The incident is under investigation by the Cleveland Division of Police Hit Skip Unit.

For a complete conference summary by Mountain Counties Water Resources Association Writer Roberta Long click here.
"Climate Change–Is the time to act now? What is the risk of doing nothing?"
Panelists: Glen MacDonald, Ph.D, Botany, Michael Dettinger, Ph.D, Atmospheric Sciences, and Michael Anderson, Ph.D, Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Moderator: Mary Aileen Matheis, Director, Irvine Ranch Water District
Glen MacDonald has studied drought conditions all over the world. He lived in Tahoe City, and is familiar with Sierra Nevada conditions. As Director of the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, he echoes the results of scientific investigations at Fall Leaf Lake.
MacDonald's research using tree rings indicate that local dry spells can go on for more than a decade. In the 12th century, California experienced sustained low flows in the Colorado and Sacramento rivers and low rainfall for a period of 40 to 60 years. At the same time, there was a drop in volcanic activity and a spike in solar radiance, leading to natural climate warming. It affected forests and fires. We have similar conditions today, he said.
The Palmer Severity Index measures soil moisture. The map shows that as of March, the western United States, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, and a portion of Colorado, are in various states of drought. Northern and Central California are designated moderate drought zones, southern California as severe drought, and the northeastern area as extreme drought.
MacDonald said many people believe we can cope with climate change through technology, but the past can tell us a lot about what kinds of general strategies allowed societies to survive over time. Some previous civilizations successfully managed their resources for many centuries and some did not. We may be in for a long-term drought, and there are lessons we can learn.

Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
I love Keynote. Everything about it is better than Powerpoint.
However in 12 hours I'm pitching on the most exciting project of my career. Right now Keynote is crashing and deleting my pitch over and again. I've got a backup I can go to fortunately.
The idea that this can happen in front of clients terrifies me. So the romance is over. I'm heading to back to powerpoint right now.
All the features in the world can't make up for taking my work from me, or preventing me from winning new work.
What's the story Apple?

Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to wiggoaugogo
I'm glad I found this discussion. I'm a college professor and never experienced any problems with Keynote until this past week when I was revising my slide decks. I too believe the July update was the culprit because no matter which machine I use, I get the same problems--movies, audio, autosave, etc.
I had "save previous version" checked in prefs, which doesn't do much good when you're revising. I find I have to lock the file as soon as I open it; otherwise, it's toast. I had my opening day deck disappear.
I also tried exporting to Powerpoint and reimporting to Keynote--same thing. I tried using a script from OSX Hints for disabling autosave on my Mac mini to see if that helps.
I can't say how disapponted I am. Yes, I too was contacted by the iWork team, but I think it's clear that this is a long-term issue. I need a short term fix, which may mean originating new content on the iPad Keynote app and using Reflector on the class projector.Or porting everything to the dreaded Powerpoint, a program I own and have never used.

Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to grhafer30
I have removed Keynote (and Pages and Numbers) with Appcleaner (http://www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/), and then reinstalled Keynote from the AppStore on my MacBook Air 2013 (OS 10.8.4). That solved most of the problems.
For a couple of hours I have done all kinds of wild stuff on file-copies to crash the program. Twice it couldn't find the original file while autosaving, but it prompted me, and I could save my file. Twice it crashed without deleting the original. Some of my audio had lost its "animation' (i.e. start play on mouse click), and I could see it struggle with some video as well, but once everything was saved it ran.
For now, when I'll give a presentation, I'll make a copy (command-d) of my file and run that. If Keynote should crash and delete I have the original of which I will make a copy and then continue my presentation.
I have no problems whatsoever on my iMac which still runs Lion, so it is the combination of Mountain Lion and Keynote, either of which needs to be patched.
C Benjamin Aug 29, 2013 7:45 AM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
I have been having the same problem too. The only thing that seems to help at all is making sure that the "Backup Previous Version" box is checked in Keynote's preferences, saving feverishly, and then... if it crashes during a presentation... jumping out into the Finder, making a duplicate as fast as I can of the backup file and opening that in order to continue the show. (This has happened to me twice now during class.)
Now what I wonder is if this is at all related to iCloud.
I noticed that aside from about a dozen "Untitled Presentation N"s in my iCloud account, some of the untitled presentations were actually pretty up-to-date versions of some of the presentations that I had lost. It was hit and miss as to whether or not they would open, but all of this trouble seems to have started at the same time as the iCloud rollout.
If the problem is with iCloud, the workaround might be to uncheck "Documents and Data" under your iCloud sync preferences in System Preferences. Yes, you then lose the whole Apple echosystem of document sharing between iOS devices, but if you are a teacher (like many of us, it seems) and your presentations are important (like all of us), this might be the only thing.
I for one am going to give it a shot and check back here if it seems to work. (I am pretty annoyed by the incompatabilities between Keynote and iCloud Keynote and iOS Keynote anyhow.)

Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
My solution until now is that instead of working on my desktop with 10.8 on it, I make my presentation on my apple air with 10.7. So far so good, but stll keeping my fingers crossed all the time.
grhafer30 Aug 29, 2013 3:58 PM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
Has anyone noticed crashed files that are reopened (if they don't disappear) have a tilde keystroke attached to their filenames? Some of mine has a tilde and then "tef." It's as if the file hasn't closed and is still open. Afterward, the placed images appear as placeholders, much as what you would find in a template.
I've used Keynote since its inception but never have I experienced anything remotely and as devestating as this. I have never used Powerpoint but may be forced into it if there's not a fix soon. I don't know how long I can prepapre presentations when I have no confidence they'll even play in class.
Katie Davis Aug 29, 2013 5:16 PM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to grhafer30
Yes, that has happened to me. What has also been happening now is freezing - or being forced to force quit or being unable to save with a prompt that says it's because the document has been altered in another application (untrue). Then when I reopen, pretty much every image is missing in the slides even though I can see them in the thumbnails. What the --?
Krustibat Aug 30, 2013 11:02 AM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
Keynote lover, can't keep my nerves straight when I work on powerpoint, but know I'm forced to do it, which makes me even angrier. My job is basically to write presentations, so I know what I'm talking about.
I've had all these problems too recently, since I upgraded to the latest version of Mountain Lion, 10.8.4
I've had a Keynote presentation freezing while on slideshow during an important business meeting, forcing a restart, then the file was GONE.
Most of my keynote files act weirdly:
- Sometimes, I got messages saying the file can be saved because some of its contents were modified by other applications
- Some keynote files cannot be zipped at all
- Some keynote files cannot be restored from previous versions
- The worst and most frequent problem is: some of the media contents (images, videos) suddenly DISAPPEAR from the presentation, randomly (but always all from the same slide, some slides remain intact), leaving squares with big crosses inside where the media file used to be. In every case, a kinf of temp folder is created on my computer, containing all the media elements (I didn't bother to see it's only the missing ones or not). In the best case I can reopen the file and save the few slides that can be saved (where medias files haven't disappeared) in a fresh keynote presentation, but in the worst case I can no longer open the file at all.
My company's IT guy has repaired permissions, reinstalled Mountain Lion and iWork, but I keep having the problem.
It seems to be related to the way Keynote saves files with the Time Machine style, and it definitely appeared with OSX 10.8.4.
And it *****.A.LOT. So Apple, fix it please. Or at least allow people to downgrade to 10.8.3 or even Lion in a simple way, **** it.
grhafer30 Sep 5, 2013 3:52 AM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Krustibat
I'm convinced autosave is not the culprit. I've disabled it via Terminal on my Mac Mini and I still get problems--this time, I get a dialog box asking me if I really want to save this over another version. But no crashes.
I make sure I create a new file and all graphic elements are replaced not with the old file's graphics in its "package" but with the original source, either from Stockkeeper or iPhoto.
It's a pain, I know, and I still get the wavy character backup as if the file is still open. I think, as others do, that 10.8.4 is the culprit; c'mon Mavericks (and a different set of headaches?)
AJ898 Sep 5, 2013 2:10 PM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
I might have a workaround.
I saved by presentation to a thumb drive and the use the file on the thumb drive for the presentation. So far no crashes.
Using the preference I have backup selected in the preference. As I am making the slide I save after every change. I hit the save control twice which updates the backup copy. At least when it crashes I have fairly up-to-date back up.
imonson Sep 10, 2013 9:48 AM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to AJ898
I'm like the other professors who've reported this. 15 minutes before class Keynote goes into an infinite loop looking for a video file. I'm told to leave the program and when I reopen the entire presentation is gone. I was forced to improvise for last Thursday's class. But today, when it started crashing again (after tech had told me to move all audio and video to the home drive and I did), I was pretty freaked out. Saved as a power point file. Unfotunately the animations for starting/stoping videos/audio do not work.
I'm so unhappy about this. I literally got hundreds of professional presentations, classes, talks, etc.
Walter4jazz Sep 10, 2013 11:02 AM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to imonson
Before you open your file, turn it into a Template (command-I, check template). It'll open a copy of the doc, so you'll never loose that. My solution (reinstall the program, see earlier) has worked well. Keynote hung a couple of times, but nothing lost.
AJ898 Sep 10, 2013 12:34 PM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
This is the solution I have found that works:
Working with a file:
- In preferances I have checked the make backup of the orignial file.
- I open the orignial file and then after every change I force the save, and then save again. The second change updates the backup of the orignial file.
- When I have a freez or crash the orignial is deleted from both computer and Timemachine, but the backup is unaffected. The key is forcing the save after every change.
- When I reharse, I duplicate the file and run the duplicate. When the file freezes, which it will, I have lost nothing because I sill have the orignial and the backup.
Making the presentation:
- I copy the presentation to a thumb drive which does not have versions capability.
- I run the presentatin from the thumb drive.
So far this has worked well. All of my vedio clips function and I have no crashes when working from the thumb. It is a pain to have to do it this way but it works.
grhafer30 Sep 10, 2013 5:02 PM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to AJ898
Well, I've tried all these solutions. None work over the long haul. Just the moment I believe I have it conquered, I get a string of dialog boxes that tell me the file can't be saved.
Today, I had an audio file that suddenly cut out. I had to look for an archive copy in the DevonThinkPro on the fly.
I'm thinking of making simpler new presentations on the iPad until there's a new Keynote for Mac. There's word that's new version will accompany Mavericks, which is rumored to be available in late October. I just hate originating content on the iPad. It's definitely a step backward in awkwardness.
MycoKey Sep 11, 2013 9:18 AM
Re: Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared in response to Medhead
All the described happens to me too. I think I have solved it partly by running the presentation from a locked file. Also, I have restored disappeared keynote-files succesfully by restoring the folder containing them with TimeMachine.
Apple, fix this!

All you need for this project is:
Square white tiles, available at your local home improvement store for a really affordable price…these bad boys were 16 cents a piece…
Tissue paper in assorted colors: we stuck with fall colors, but our inspiration included blues and pinks and other colors too…totally up to you and your little crafters.
Mod Podge: any formula will do, but we chose to use Sparkle. After all, as LC and I always say, "Glitter makes everything better!"
The process is super-complicated. Are you ready for this? Cut out leaf shapes, attach them to the tiles using Mod Podge, and then give the whole thing a coat of Mod Podge once they're dry. Simple, but oh-so-adorable, aren't they?! And oh-so-doable for even the littlest of helpers, which is what I love best about them. Well, that and the fact that the project cost me a total of 64 cents.
I'm already thinking of the holiday possibilities…snowflakes? Trees? Snowmen? A tissue paper nativity? Hmm. Maybe that one's a bit ambitious. Anyway, thanks to Inner Child Fun for the inspiration!

Another GREAT project! Thanks for sharing!
Those are adorable! I haven't used mod podge much, except for my pumpkin disaster. So I guess it's water proof? Do you have to put any kind of sealer over it?
Awesome, you are the modpidge queen!
They look great! You and LC did a super job on those!
I love how bright these are, what a great idea! Your pictures look fantastic!
These turned out great. Will be pinning and making numerous sets for christmas gifts.
Amy, this project is great! It has inspired me!
Great idea!! Easy and useful LOVE THAT!.:)
These are so cute! I love the colors! Thanks for sharing at the Pomp Party! Hope to see you back again next week!
Very cute! We found a box of old white tiles in a closet when we moved into our house, so I could cut 16 cents off the cost right there. Sounds like a perfect project for the kids to make for presents for the relatives this year!
Love the vibrant colors; I'm definitely wanting to make my own coasters and this version seems easy enough to try! So glad I found this at Happy Hour Projects.
This project inspired me but alas, I had a fail. Check it out so you don't try this!

Traditional Health Practices
Traditional Portuguese healers are called Curandeiras, which translates into good and evil. Curandeiras are strongly tied to their religion, (mostly Catholic), their beliefs, and a strong faith in God. They believe that they have a "gift from God". This gift is usually kept within the family and passed down from generation to generation. They ask the Lord to help them heal by giving them certain thoughts, feelings an"signs" of what to do and how to do it while they are healing someone. Curandeiras may be male or female, although most are female.
The Curadors are males that are experts at healing dislocated bones. They used resinous juice from rosin weed, oakum and eggs to make the cast material to set the bones.
Curandeiras heal a variety of problems, both physical and emotional. Such things as oils, massage, water, salt and herbs are used as aids in the healing process.However, the most powerful source of the healing process comes through prayer and saying the rosary. Curandeiras do not seek monetary gifts for their healing. They strongly believe that they have a gift,
Bucho Verado ("turned stomach"). The Curandeiras treat this by massaging the abdomen with oil and placing ti leaves and bandages over the abdomen. This is done to cure and straighten the intestine so that a person can eat normally again. It is also done to relieve "pockets of gas" that irritate and cause distress. The leaves are removed after one day. If the leaves are parched, a cure is indicated.
"Displaced wishbones". These are problems with dislocated bones. To treat these,Curandeiras place a cup of water on the afflicted person's head and chant disease-specific prayers. The cup of water is observed to see if it boils. This aids in the diagnostic process. Then, the affected body part is manipulated to ease or end the pain.
Coobrant. This is a condition which may have some of the following symptoms: fatigue,excessive crying, depression and just "not feeling right". This malady is caused by negative thoughts directed toward you by someone who is jealous of you or your possessions. The person affected is treated three times, with prayers, rosaries and possibly massage. A belch during the third treatment indicates purging of the evil from within.

The deployment of Chinese combatants to the Gulf of Aden demonstrates that the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is no longer a second-rate naval power, tied to local waters by a short logistics line. Based on the professionalism displayed by its vessels in the Gulf of Aden for the past 18 months, China is quickly moving toward a blue-water capability to sustain operations far from home waters for extended periods.

Dinara Safina
US Open
September 5, 2008
Q. Good match despite the conditions.
DINARA SAFINA: Good match?
Q. Did you enjoy the match, in spite of the conditions?
DINARA SAFINA: Well, it's tough to enjoy it when it's ‑‑ it was pretty
windy today. And somehow ‑‑ I mean, in that center court it's always
windy, but today I could not handle the wind. Not too good for from my
side, I can say.
Q. You were talking about not being too fit coming into this match,
especially your quarters where you had 20% but you had to manage your
energy as best as you can. What was the situation today?
DINARA SAFINA: Well, I think today I was feeling ‑‑ I mean, physically I
was feeling better than previous days.
This has nothing to do. But just I would say it's too bad from behaving
side from my side. Yeah, maybe today was physically and mentally 80, but
I spent 60 on being negative on the court, like shooting around and
complaining about everything instead of spending 80% totally focused on
just point by point.
And this was ‑‑ I think I was behaving like a really spoiled girl on the
court today. This I cannot permit myself playing in semifinal of Grand
Slam. So I have to really learn from these things if I want to get
Q. How would you assess Serena's play today?
DINARA SAFINA: Well, I could see she was a little bit not comfortable in
the beginning of the match. I was 2‑Love up with a break, but she
behaved like a champion. Maybe some things ‑‑ she also had some wind
problems. I guess it was also bothering me. Maybe she was not feeling
But she was there and she was fighting with me, you know. I was fighting
with everything around except her. So I think this is ‑‑ this I can
learn really good from her, how to handle these situations instead of
just staying quiet and play my game.
Q. Looking back to the summer, how much are you satisfied with your
DINARA SAFINA: Well, this has nothing to do with my loss today. I think
still it was ‑‑ I think still the year continuing, but it was a great
year. I'm just playing day by ‑‑ what I'm saying? That finally that I'm
playing my game.
The results that I have, it's actually that I was dreaming of, is about
to play a Grand Slam final. Now I'm in semifinal once again. I just now
if I want to make like one step in front, I just have to learn to handle
my emotions better, to make one step in front.
Q. Do you remember your first match with Serena at the US Open a couple
years ago?
DINARA SAFINA: Yes, 6‑Love, 6‑1. I remember. I guess this year I won a
little bit more games.
Q. Does this amaze you, Safina, that when you're winning and doing
better at big tournaments they refer to Marat as Safina's brother, and
when he's doing very well they refer to you as Marat's sister. It
becomes a reference point for each other depending on who is playing
DINARA SAFINA: Well, I think it's more I'm still his sister than he's my
brother, so I think it's still other way around. But it has nothing ‑‑
I'm his sister. I always will be his sister.
To change this I have to get better results, because he has two Grand
Slams. He was No. 1 in the world. I still can learn many things from

Power is a delicate tool.
If used judiciously it can lead to prosperity, but when exploited great failure can be obtained.
At this very moment I argue Carmelo Anthony is the most powerful person in the New York Knicks organization, even more than owner James Dolan.
Discussing and blaming why and how the Knicks are where they are (something I'm sure as hell guilty of) is a complete waste of time. All that matters is what will be done to get out of this current position and to build a team positioned for long-term success.
Melo's a tremendous player even with his flaws. Undoubtedly you would like a player of his stature to be smarter on both ends of the court. His time management skills are poor, he's become indecisive during crunch time – the final offensive possession against the Mavs a perfect example – and seems not to care about the finer details on the defensive end. Those issues don't overshadow the fact that he's a brilliant basketball player worthy of building a team around. They mean you have to be careful and specific with the type of roster put around him.
There's sufficient evidence to suggest the people running the Knicks — James Dolan, CAA, Steve Mills (not completely fair to put him in this category yet, but his last journey with the team was such a disaster he can't be given the benefit of the doubt) and Mike Woodson — either don't have the slightest idea how to structure a team with Melo as its centerpiece or simply don't give a fuck.
The hierarchy of the front office needs to be changed. Getting rid of Woodson while Dolan and Mills are still maneuvering isn't going to cut it. There must be a complete transfer of power to competent basketball people.
Anthony might be the only person with the ability to make this happen.
Even with a new coach in charge 2014 will bring significant hurdles. Players on contracts are locked into place with high price tags and extremely large egos. For the Knicks to be better than they are this season some of those players will need to sit, while others will need to be mollified. That's not an enviable task for whoever is running the show.
If he re-signs with the Knicks, Melo does so knowing that, barring several miracles, he's going to have to suffer one more year before the roster around him can truly be shaken up. Dolan and Mills don't have the track record to suggest that they can turn cap space and a few draft picks into this team's much-needed turnaround.
This is Anthony's leverage to get what he wants.
Carmelo Anthony needs to tell James Dolan his condition for re-signing with the team, at an expensive yet reasonable price (think somewhere between $16 million to $18 million with a no trade clause), is that the money saved on the deal to be put into upgrading all aspects of the organization. Demand Dolan to hire a legitimate, functioning general manger, put together a top flight-scouting department, find a training staff that is the best of the best and pour money into all kinds of analytics and research.
Most importantly, Dolan has to give up decision-making ability. The general manager gets to hire the coach, run the draft and sign the free agents. Dolan's only involvement allowed is to set a budget that can't be crossed.
Anthony needs to understand this play won't be a public relations disaster like what happened with him in Denver.
Melo would be a hero in New York if he was able to accomplish what has been laid out.
Wield your power Melo. And if it works, prosper for a fan base that will grow to appreciate you even more than they do now. If it doesn't head somewhere that will serve your career well.
Do Knicks fans this one favor Carmelo Anthony. We all deserve it.

PHO: Dengue cases in Negros down 88%-A A +A
Thursday, July 10, 2014
DENGUE cases in Negros Occidental dropped by 88 percent in the first half of 2014 compared to the same period last year, records of the Provincial Health Office (PHO) showed.
There were only 188 dengue cases from January to June 26 this year with two deaths compared to 1,554 cases with five deaths during the first six months in 2013.
Still, the PHO continued to warn Negrenses to take necessary precautionary measures to avoid the virus from mosquito bites.
Those who died of dengue this year are from San Carlos City and Escalante City.
San Carlos City has the most number of dengue cases this year with 47.
It is followed by Silay City, 23; Bago City, 21; Talisay City, 12; La Carlota City, 10; Kabankalan City, 8; Cadiz City, Calatrava and E.B. Magalona, six cases each; and Manapla, Murcia and Sagay City, five cases each.
In Bacolod, Councilor Sonya Verdeflor, chairperson of the City Council committee on women and gender, urged the City Health Office through the Office of the City Mayor to commence dengue awareness and prevention measures.
Her call is stated in a resolution passed by the City Council during their regular session Wednesday.
Verdeflor noted that during the start of the rainy season, cases of dengue are afflicting the Bacolodnons especially children.
The dreaded mosquito-borne disease is transmitted by the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with a dengue virus.
Symptoms of dengue fever, which usually begin four to six days after infection and lasts up to 10 days may include sudden high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, severe joint and muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, skin rash which appears three to four days after the onset of fever, and mild bleeding such as nose bleed, bleeding gums or easy bruising.
Verdeflor added: "In order to protect our constituents' health especially those of children, it is imperative that our city government should conduct massive dengue awareness and prevention measures in our barangays to be spearheaded by our City Health Office." (With reports from CNC)

Abandoned for three decades, one of Missouri's oldest stone houses, located two miles from the beginning of the Santa Fe Trail, is now on its way to being restored.
Last month, work began on the 1819 Thomas Hickman House, now part of the 600-acre University of Missouri-Columbia's research farm near New Franklin, Mo.
The university, which has owned the Hickman House since the 1950s, has raised $1.25 million for the restoration project, thanks in part to a matching grant of $250,000 from Save America's Treasures, a public-private partnership between the National Park Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
"It really hasn't been forgotten," says Gene Garrett, professor of forestry at the university and superintendent of the research farm. "It was apparently a community gathering place. … I cannot believe how many people have told me, 'I remember being in that house.'"
Once a popular spot for local dances, the 1,800-square-foot house will become the farm's reception center. The Hickman House is scheduled to open next summer, Garrett says. "It is a source of pride in the community that this house is being restored."

Man convicted in 2008 Phoenix road rage shooting
PHOENIX (AP) - A man accused of killing another driver in a Phoenix road rage incident in 2008 has been convicted of second-degree murder and drive-by shooting.
Maricopa County prosecutors say jurors returned their verdicts Tuesday against 51-year-old John Chester Stuart.
They say Stuart faces up to 43 years in prison when he's sentenced on Oct. 24.
Stuart acted as his own attorney in the trial.
His defense was that 49-year-old Thomas Beasley was shot in self-defense in January 2008.
Stuart says the gun accidentally went off during a struggle between the two.
His first trial ended in a mistrial in November 2011.

After a quick appearance as a Cowboy, Matt Moore finds himself now fighting for a full-time job as quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. Moore hopes to continue the ride by defeating the Cowboys for a fifth time in a row. All the while the Dallas Cowboys with a 27-15-1 record and quarterback Tony Romo find themselves in a tie for 1st place in the NFC East.
During the winning streak of the first three games, Miami has racked up points outscoring their opponents 86-20. A defense that has not allowed a touchdown in November, the 2nd fewest rushing touchdowns in the NFL and 18.6 points per game making the Dolphins , 6th in scoring defense in the league. Look for Reggie Bush to continue to be a presence after four touchdowns and 274 rushing yards in the past four games.
In overtime, Dallas continued its winning streak by kicking a 39-yard field goal (Dan Bailey) against the Redskins. Throwing for 841 yards, eight TDS and no interceptions in the past three games, Romo is on a roll at 18-2 for November and 12-0 at home. In the last four games, Laurent Robinson WR picks up his game while taking over for Miles Austin with a hamstring injury.
