Christina Aguilera Debuts Slimmer New Look
March 22, 2013 10:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Christina Aguilera may not be turning chair on the upcoming season of The Voice, which premieres Monday, but that does mean we will not see her anymore. In fact, she made an appearance during the premiere taping, and Xtina shocked fans with her dramatic new look, which include a new, slimmer figure!
Christina Aguilera is known for her curvy figure, and has even been accused of being "fat" in the past. At a recent taping of The Voice, Christina showed up, and showed off her new slimmer figure! Donning a short black dress, Aguilera looked noticeably slimmer, but that was not the only change the singer has made. Aguilera also showed up with a lot less makeup, opting for a more natural look! Check out her new look and tell us what you think:
Meanwhile, the curvy blonde mom spoke to In Touch Magazine about her return to The Voice in the future. "I can't say anything right now," she tells In Touch. "I can only do what feels right for me in the moment and right now, it feels important for me…and that's why I love the show and always come back and support," Aguilera told the magazine. Christina also revealed that she thinks Shakira was a great choice for replacing her this season, and she feels that the Latin singer definitely has what it takes to keep up with the men on the panel!
Time to sound off! What do you think of Christina Aguilera's new look? Do you love it or hate it? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it! Comment below to share your thoughts with us.

Christina, you have the best voice ever. Better than anyother singer out there. You look fabulous keep it up!

Can't stand her, fat or almost fat. Beautiful voice but rotten personality. Just like Mariah Carey its "All About Me! Wish she would just go away. Thanks goodness she's off The Voice. Now if Blake Shelton would go away I would watch the show.

I'm a little shock at Elaine saying Black Shelton should be off the show….really? I mean w/out the chemistry between Blake and Adam the show would suck! Everyone knows that!

The only reason anyone would think Christina has a bad personality would be if they believed all the crap said about her. Christina cares about everyone and shows it, but not in a public way. Its funny how the press never says a word about her philanthropic endeavors, but then again maybe they are too blind to see them. I guess she won the Alma award last year for her philanthropy because she doesn't care….I guess she won The People's Voice award because people think she is rotten. NOT !!

She looks exactly the same… WTF are you talking about? I do not see anything significant in her weight changing, the only (a tad) different is she is wearing less clown-whore makeup…

XTINA has talent but she doesn't get the respect that she should only because she's half spanish so she can't never do good if that would have been Brintney Spears she would get much support and she has no talent but could do no wrong and that a fact that has been proven, but that goes even outside of hollywood.

Based on these 2 pics, I do not think that she has lost any weight. Look at her legs.

Heather Says:

@jeanette christina is not half spanish she is half ecuodorian through her father and dutch german and irish from her mother. I think she looks good but her being so short if she gains 10-15 lbs it noticeable and looks like 30+. I love her voice but feel like its used wrong, wish she would do like a jazz album that would be great

Adam Lambert has been mentioning her as a duet partner, and am eager to hear what these incredible artists produce with their golden voices. Hence, my comment of irrelevancy as to her weight or make-up.

Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Reviews
Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Reviews and Owner Comments
One ton van used for wheelchair duty so it carries one or two wheelchair folk and one driver and maybe another passenger so not carrying much weight. I was told by dealer and independent that having to do upper and lower ball joints and one control arm at 43k not unusual. I:t was under Warrenty ,so not so bad. But now, at 70k it is starting to clunk again. A/c has had frequent breakdowns from blower under dash, to fan only works on highspeed, to rear a/c out again, parts can take 2 weeks for dealer to get ( and that was in 2003!!) Its a big box and can haul lots of stuff. Front seats are fine takes forever to stop but its a big box. Ran it across desert in cross winds to Ca coast and it did fine at 70+mph. has a 411 rear and big V8 wanted the limited slip and only way to get it so it gets about 11mpg dealer takes the Ram in name seriously rammed it twice while in for service warentey over so now go to independent guy. He is much easier to deal with than 2 dealers I tried.


text: Hi, I'm experiencing problem with running VNC Server on Solaris 7. I could start the server with vncserver through a telnet session with no problem and am able to connect through vncviewer. I could see the window manager and the xterm running. However, as soon as I exit out from this telnet session, the VNC viewer turns gray. It appeared that all the processes that were running within this VNC session are killed due to the exiting of the telnet session. I tried the same start up procedure on a Linux system and it worked like charm. The VNC session was still running as well as the window manager and xterm. Is there any special setting or start up script that I have to use in order to make it work on Solaris 7? Similar problem I found from the mailing list. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/archives/2000-06/0644.html Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well I thought I would take a look at what Zimbra offers. I come from a MS Exchange background and have worked with the product since version 5.0. I think I can safely say at this juncture I will not be giving up my day job!
Anyway on to my problem - I have now been trying to install Zimbra for over 2 days and being a non Linux person you can probably appreciate how frustrating this is. I have deployed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on HyperV, have all the networking setup and configured correctly, I can ping other hosts etc etc. I have all the hostnames set correctly. I have followed several step by step guides and everything works fine until I actually try to install Zimbra. When I kick off the install I get the following:
Checking for prerequisites...
One or more prerequisite packages are missing.
Please install them before running this installer.
I have installed all of those pre-requisites several times over. When I run the apt-get install it states that the module is already the latest version and installed. I have seen various potential fixes like using CHMOD 777 on the Zimbra directory but nothing works. I am stuck and this is driving me insane.
I am running the 64bit version of Ubuntu and I'm trying to install the latest Zimbra package.
Can anyone please assist or point me in the right direction?
Many thanks

Have you ever heard that bonds should be part of a "diversified" investment portfolio? You may be asking, what are bonds? Bonds are a type of investment and should be avoided in today's economic climate.
photo credit: Thomas Hawk via photopin cc
What Are Bonds?
A Bond is basically debt in which an investor agrees to loan money to a company or a government entity in exchange for a fixed interest rate. This interest rate is usually paid by the bond issuer twice a year.
A bond consists of the following:
- Par Value: Initial price of the security. Usually bonds are sold in multiples of $1000.
- Time to Maturity: Longer the maturity of a bond, greater the amount of time its interest payments would be affected by interest rates and reinvestment risks.
- Coupon Rate: Interest or income, price of money or cost of borrowing money, influenced by risks that an investor is taking to purchase fixed-income securities. The higher the coupon rate, the riskier the bond is.
When you purchase a bond, you are agreeing to lend a company or a government entity a certain amount of money for certain time period. During this period, you receive fixed interest payments throughout the time you hold the bond. When the time period is up, the borrowing entity returns the money you loaned them.
Bonds can be bought on the open market through brokerage firms or directly from the entity. Bonds may be purchased higher or lower than the par value.
- Buying at a premium: This is the purchase of a bond higher than it's par value. The reason for this is that if you purchase a bond that has an interest rate or coupon higher than what the current market is offering, than the bond would be worth more.
- Buying at a discount: This is the purchase of a bond less than it's par value. The reason for this is that if you purchase a bond that has an interest rate or coupon lower than what the current market is offering, than the bond would be worth less.
The value of bonds are determined by interest rates. As interest rates go up, the value of bonds go down. If interest rates go down, then the value of bonds go up.
Why Not to Buy Them
Most investment advisors recommend holding a percentage of your portfolio in bonds or bond funds. I do not simply because of the current economic environment.
Interest rates are now at an all time low, and they can't go much lower. Therefore, they have only one way to go and that is up. When rates go up, then the value of bonds or bond mutual funds go down.
Question: Do you own a bond or a bond mutual fund? If so, why? Follow @robertjacobs01

Women Who Love Books Too Much: Bibliophiles, Bluestockings, and Prolific… (2006)
by Brenda Knight
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I thought it seemed a little dated, but I still enjoyed it.
Little bios on a who's who of female authors through the ages. It's a quick read. Would like to see a book of this sort on women readers "who love books too much".
Short biographies of women who were weel-known writers and especially some early ones who had a hard time being recognized.
A great resource for those of us who run book groups.

Homocysteine (cont.)
Who should have their homocysteine levels tested?
Infants blood and urine are often checked for elevated homocysteine levels if they have a family history of the disease, or if they have certain medical conditions including eye lens dislocations, unusual (Marfan type) body shape, mental retardation, or signs of stroke.
Younger adults who have an early heart attack, stroke, or blood clots are often screened for blood clotting abnormalities including homocysteine blood tests.
Homocysteine levels are also often measured when a patient suffers a heart attack or stroke and has no risk factors for that illness (smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes).
At present it is not recommended that individuals consuming normal diets with adequate folate levels be screened for elevated homocysteine levels.

all sales employees are full time. We currently do not have a sales manager and are creating this position because our sales staff are not meeting their sales goals but we do not want to let them go. So we need to manage them better and also this new person coming on staff would also sell.
I hope you found my answer helpful, even if the law is not in your favor. I would be happy to clarify my answer if anything is not clear or you are looking for additional information. All the best to you!
a bit confused by your answer. In our employee manual given to all employees and signed by them we of course say we do not discriminate when hiring blah blah blah but nothing specific about discrimination regarding the benefits offered. Is there a difference? I just don't want a sales person crying discrimination if this manager gets the medical and they don't. What do you think?

"How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?
Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg." ~ Abraham Lincoln.
A friend showed me a sign the other day that talked about, among other things, "gender diverse young people." What does that mean? Is gender now what we decide it is? Can a person be two genders? Or have we so mulched words and commonsense that we don't know what anything is, anymore?

LG G3 gets anti-theft Kill Switch courtesy of McAfee
Protected from the hands of pilferers
LG ANNOUNCED on Thursday that it has joined forces with McAfee to keep the LG G3 safe from the hands of pilferers by adding a Kill Switch to its flagship smartphone.
The LG G3 is one of the first smartphones to launch with a Kill Switch, a feature that lets users disable their phones remotely in the event of loss or theft in order to prevent thieves getting hold of personal data.
Head of LG's smartphone planning division Dr Ramchan Woo said, "We are working with McAfee to offer a customised version of its award-winning mobile security software that leverages built-in LG capabilities to make security an integral part of LG G3.
"The implementation of the Kill Switch feature is just one of several specific measures we are taking to ensure that our users can easily and comprehensively protect themselves from the growing threat landscape, both physical and online."
Citing the fact that Android mobile malware increased 197 percent between December 2012 and 2013, LG announced that the LG G3 will also ship with a McAfee's Mobile Security app pre-installed. This will provide the smartphone with antivirus, data backup, remote lock and wipe and remote tracking services for five years at no cost.
McAfee SVP John Giamatteo added, "We are working with LG to build and implement unique security measures that empower users to live a safer, worry-free digital life."
LG said that McAfee Mobile Security will be activated on all LG G3 handsets from 28 May, and with the phone set to start shipping in the UK on 1 July, buyers can expect to find the software pre-installed from the get-go.
A Kill Switch soon might appear on other smartphone devices. Last year, Apple, Samsung, Microsoft and others committed to implementing the anti-theft switch, which will arrive on smartphones from July 2015. µ

Wiki > Main > ManualMainMenu (compare)
Difference: ManualMainMenu (r2 vs. r1)
The main menu is the screen from which the rest of the Rockbox functions can be accessed. It is used for a variety of functions, which are detailed below. You can access the Rockbox main menu by pressing MENU (player/studio version), F1 (recorder version), or A-B (iriver version) key. All options in Rockbox can be controlled via this menu. Some of them can also be found in the Quick Menu (Recorder and iriver versions only).
All settings are persistently stored on the unit. However, Rockbox does not spin up the disk solely for the purpose of saving settings, but instead will save them when it spins up the disk the next time, for example when refilling the audio buffer or navigating through the file browser. Changes to settings may therefore not be saved unless the jukebox is shut down safely.
The Main Menu is structured as follows:
The If main menu is the screen from which 'save a list the rest of the Rockbox functions can recently created bookmarks' option be accessed. It is used for enabled, you can view a variety list of functions, which are detailed below. several recent bookmarks here and select one to jump straight to that track. This option is 'off' by default.
All settings are persistently stored on the unit. However, Rockbox does not spin up the disk solely for the purpose of saving settings, but instead will save them when it spins up the disk the next time, for example when refilling the audio buffer or navigating through the file browser. Changes to settings may therefore not be saved unless the jukebox is shut down safely.
Sound Settings
The volume at which your music is played. Although settable range is 0-100%, many units don't produce audible output below 40%. On Archos Recorders, volume settings above 92% will cause distortion (clipping) and are not recommended.
On iriver, the maximum volume will not be as high as the volume of the original iriver firmware if you engage the bass boost or treble boost. For more information, see this FAQ on the different approach taken by Rockbox and iriver regarding the volume issue.
The Bass setting controls the amount of bass in the track. On Archos players, the bass may be raise or lowered. 0 means that bass sounds are unaltered (flat response). On Iriver players, the bass may be boosted, but not lowered. Bass boost may be set from 0 to 24 dB in increments of 2 dB.
The Treble setting controls higher frequency (treble) sounds in the track. On Archos players, the treble may be raised or lowered. 0 means that treble sounds are unaltered (flat response). On Iriver players, the treble may be boosted, but not lowered. Treble boost may be set from 0 to 8 dB (6dB on iRiver H1xx) in increments of 2 dB.
The Balance control determines whether the sound level is equal in both channels, or 'panned' to either the left or right. The Balance control works by determining how much of the volume is generated by the left or right channel of the sound. The default, 0, means that the left and right outputs are equal in volume. Negative numbers increase the volume of the left channel relative to the right, while positive numbers increase the volume of the right channel relative to the left.
This option controls the on-board mixing facilities of your player. A stereo audio signal consists of two channels, left and right. Available options are:
Note: The above Channel features are available but not confirmed as working yet on iriver.
This option controls the perceived '*width*' of the sound. The larger the value chosen, the '*wider*' the sound seems. If you imagine having two speakers, increasing the Stereo width sounds similar to placing the speakers further apart. The larger the value set, the larger the time difference heard between the left and right channels. The default setting is 100%.
This menu is for configuring settings related to audio playback.
This menu is for configuring settings related to repeating of directories or playlists.
This setting controls what happens when you press PLAY on a file in a directory and shuffle mode is on.
| Yes | The file you selected will be played first.
Sets whether Rockbox will resume playing at the point where you shut off.
Earlier versions of Rockbox had an "Ask" setting, which would ask whether to resume when the jukebox was turned on. This setting has been eliminated because it was redundant. If resume is set to "No," simply pressing PLAY (iriver) or On (Archos) will resume from the point where the jukebox was stopped before shutdown.
The smallest step, in seconds, you want to fast forward or rewind in a track. Options are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, or 60 seconds.
How fast you want search (ffwd/rew) to accelerate when you hold down the button.
iriver H1xx: The iriver series H1xx has options to set doubling of search speed between every 1and 10 seconds, in increment of 1 second.
This setting allows you to control how much music is stored in the player's memory whilst playing a song, acting as a buffer against shock or playback problems.
On Archos, this can be set to a value between 0 and 7 seconds. On the iriver H1xx series, the anti-skip buffer can be set to various values between 5 seconds and 10 minutes.
The player transfers the selected amount of the forthcoming song into its memory at high speed whilst you are playing the song. It keeps a 'rolling' buffer, i.e. keep feeding more of the forthcoming song into memory as it goes along. In the event of the player being knocked, shaken or jogged heavily, Rockbox might not be able to read the hard disk. Rockbox will retry over and over again until it succeeds, but may eventually reach the end of the memory buffer and has to stop playing while waiting for more data from the disk. The anti-skip setting tells Rockbox how much extra buffer memory to spare to handle this situation. This setting therefore allows you to reduce the chances of there being a gap or pause during playback of songs, at the expense of using less memory for the regular buffering.
Having a large anti-skip buffer tends to use more power, and may reduce your battery life. It is recommended to always use the lowest possible setting that allows correct and continuous playback.
This setting enables and disables a fade effect when you pause or stop playing a song.
This setting enables a cross-fader. At the end of a song, the song will fade out as the next song fades in, creating a smooth transition between songs.
The crossfade setting is particularly effective when the player is set on shuffle.
This allows you to set the length of the cross-fade between songs. You can choose between 1,2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14 seconds for the cross-fade duration.
This allows you to control the replaygain function. The purpose of replaygain is to adjust the volume of the played songs so that they are equally loud, to avoid sudden changes in volume when changing between songs recorded at different volume levels. For this to work, the songs must have been processed by a program that adds replaygain information (usually as tags).
This turns on/off the replaygain function.
Avoid clipping of a song's waveform. If a song would clip turing playback, the volume is lowered for that song. Replaygain information is needed for this to work.
Choose the type of replaygain to apply.
This allows you to adjust the volume when replaygain is applied. Replaygain often lowers the volume, sometimes quite much, so here you can compensate for that. Please note that a (large) positive pre-amp setting can cause clipping, unless prevent clipping is enabled. The pre-amp can be set to any decibel (dB) value between -12dB and +12dB, in increments of 0.1dB.
This allows you to set the volume of the beep heard when skipping forward or backward between tracks.
Enable/disable optical SPDIF output.
Choose which ID3 tag to use if both are present.
If set to "Yes," when playback of a playlist or folder ends, Rockbox will create and play a new playlist of the next folder in the browser.
In order for the "Move to Next Folder" option to be effective, the "Repeat" option must be set to "Off."
Once you have reached the last folder on your player, this function will not loop and go back to the first folder again. It therefore only works up until you are in the last folder.
If set to yes, rockbox will track playcount for the runtime DB
This menu deals with options relating to how the file browser displays files.
If this option is enabled, files that start with a lower case letter will appear after the files that start with an upper case letter have all been listed. If disabled, then case will be ignored when sorting files.
This option controls how Rockbox sorts folders.
This option controls how Rockbox sorts files.
Controls which files are displayed in the directory browser.
A useful tutorial can be found on this Mistic River thread.
Determines where you go if you go to the directory browser from the While Playing Screen.
This indicates whether Rockbox will display an icon representing what type a file is on the left of the file in the browser.
Icons are only shown against supported file types.
Browse the fonts that reside in your /.rockbox directory. Selecting one will activate it. See the fonts page for further details about fonts.
Opens the file browser in the /.rockbox directory and displays all .wps files. Selecting one will activate it, stop will exit back to the menu. For further information about the WPS see How to Make a Custom WPS.
This submenu contains settings that relate to the display of the player.
The amount of time the backlight shines after a key press. If set to "Off," the backlight will not light when a button is pressed. If set to "On," the backlight will never shut off. If set to a time (1 to 90 seconds), the backlight will stay lit for that amount of time after a button press.
If set to 'Yes,' the backlight will stay on constantly while the charger cable is connected to a power source.
This option turns the backlight on for 25 seconds on either side of the start of a new track so that the display can be read to see song information.
The amount of time that the backlight will take to fade from off to on after a button is pressed. If set to "Off" the backlight will turn on immediately, with no fade in. Can also be set to 500ms, 1s or 2s.
The amount of time that the backlight will take to fade from on to off after a button is pressed. If set to "Off" the backlight will turn off immediately, with no fade out. Can also be set to 500kms, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s or 10s.
Changes the contrast of your LCD display. Warning: Setting the contrast too dark or too light can make it hard to find this menu option again!
This setting lets you invert the colour of the whole screen, so now you get a black background and light text graphics.
Displays the screen so that the top of the display is nearest the buttons. This is sometimes useful when carrying the jukebox on a belt clip, or (on the Recorder) in a pocket for easy access to the headphone socket.
Select this option to have a bar of inverted text ('Bar' option) mark the current line in the File Browser rather than the default arrow to the left ('Pointer' option). This gives slightly more room for filenames.
Controls remote control settings.
Sets the time before the backlight fades out.
Adjust the remote LCD contrast.
Sets the remote LCD to normal or 'inverse' LCD view (white text on black background or vice versa)
Inverts the entire remote screen so it is upside down.
This allows you to set options controlling the scrolling of text on your players display. Text will only scroll if it is too large to fit on the screen, as might be seen with very long song or file names.
You can choose speeds between 0 and 15. The higher your choice, the faster the text will scroll across the screen. How well you can view fast-scrolling text will depend on the resolution of your screen.
This sets how long a delay is seen before text begins to scroll. Settings are between 0 and 2500ms, in increments of 100ms.
This sets how many pixels the text is displaced across the screen each time it scrolls. Options are between 1 and 160. A higher setting will make the scrolling look more jerky, especially if used with small fonts.
When scrolling a line, Rockbox can either scroll continuously to the left or scroll to the left until the end of the line is reached and then back until the beginning of the line is displayed at the left edge again. The Bidirectional Scroll limit determines how much longer than the display the scrolling line has to be, to switch from bidirectional scrolling to continuous scrolling. Setting it to 0% switches off bidirectional scrolling completely.
Allows you to change settings controlling the built in Status and Scroll bars.
This sets whether or not a scroll bar is seen on the left of your player's display if the files listed are too many to fit on the screen.
This sets whether or not a Status bar is seen at the top of your player's display. The Status bar includes a Battery Status and Charging indicator, Volume indicator and Mode (STOP,PLAY, PAUSE) indicator.
Many Custom WPS screens (See this link) require this to be turned off to be viewed correctly.
With the Status Bar turned ON, this allows you to change how the Volume indicator is shown.
With the Status Bar turned ON, this allows you to change how the Battery indicator is shown.
The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen. The peak meter allows you to view the level of a song being played back using several indicators:
The peak meter has several configurable options.
This determines how fast the bar shrinks when the music becomes softer. Lower values make the peak meter look smoother. Value range is 1 to 126.
Specifies the time after which the peak indicator will reset. If you set this value to 5s, for example, then the peak indicator displays the loudest volume value that occurred within the last 5 seconds. Big values are good if you want to find the peak level of a song, which might be of interest when copying music from the jukebox via the analogue output to some other recording device.
This controls how long the clipping indicator will be visible after clipping is detected.
Determines whether the peak meter displays linear or logarithmic values. In 'dB' (decibel) scale the volume values are scaled logarithmically. This very similar to the perception of loudness. The volume meters of digital audio devices usually are scaled this way. If you are interested in the power level that is applied to your headphones you should choose 'linear' display. Unfortunately this value does not have real units like volts or watts since that depends on the phones. So they can only be displayed as percentage values.
The Minimum of Range and Maximum of Range options define the full value range that the peak meter displays. Recommended values for dbFs are -40 for min. and 0 for maximum. For linear display, use 0 and 100%. Note that -40 dbFs is approximately 1% in linear value, but if you change the minimum setting in linear mode slightly and then change to dbFs there will be a large change. You can use these values for 'zooming' into the peak meter.
On iriver, this is currently fixed on 0% and cannot be changed.
Controls the maximum volume level to display on the Peak Meter. See "Minimum of Range" above.
Controls Bidirectional text display support for use with Hebrew and Arabic languages.
Controls certain system setting for your player.
Options relating to the batteries in the jukebox unit.
Capacity can be used to tell the jukebox what capacity (in mAh) of battery is being used inside it. This value is used for calculating remaining battery life.
Default values are:
These values correspond to the battery shipped with each unit.
For additional information, refer to the Battery FAQ for NiMH batteries or the Battery FAQ for Lithium Ion batteries. Deep discharge (all supported Archos jukeboxes except FM Recorder) This option has been removed in Rockbox 2.5 because the charging algorithm now makes it unnecessary.
Set this to ON if you intend to keep your charger connected for a long period of time. It lets the batteries go down to 10% before starting to charge again. Setting this to OFF will cause the charging to restart on 95%. Trickle Charge (all supported Archos jukeboxes except FM Recorder) This option has been removed in Rockbox 2.5 because the charging algorithm now makes it unnecessary.
The jukebox cannot be turned off while the charger is connected. Therefore, trickle charge is needed to keep the batteries full after charging has completed. For more in depth information about charging see the Battery FAQ for NiMH batteries or the Battery FAQ for Lithium Ion batteries.
Options relating to the hard disk.
Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the hard disk after being idle for a certain time. You can modify this timeout here. This idle time is only affected by user activity, like navigating through file browser. When the hard disk spins up to fill mp3 buffer, it automatically spins down afterwards. This can be set to any value between 3s and 254s, in increments of 1s. The higher this Disk Spindown setting, the longer your disk will continue to spin when the drive is not being accessed. This enhances performance, as the disk does not need to start up again before allowing you to continue browsing. However, having a high setting does use more power. Use a lower setting for better battery life, especially if you don't mind waiting a second for the disk to spin up again before the player responds!
This setting controls whether the disk is powered OFF or only set to 'sleep' when spun down. Power off uses less power but takes longer to spin-up.
Currently this option is available for iRiver players only (not in CVS yet). If enabled, player will build a cache from the complete file system structure (including directory and file names) to allow fast browsing inside the file browser without need to wait for the disk to spin up. Rebooting the player is required to turn this option on.
By default on every system boot (or immediately after USB connection) the cache is temporarily disabled and transparent background cache rebuilding is started. However, when this option is turned on no cache resyncing will be done on system boot but the cache is loaded directly from hard disk from the state where it was the player previously was shut off. This means that if user knows for sure he/she is not going to use bootloader USB mode to transfer new files to the hard disk, this option can be set on to skip the cache rebuilding and thus increasing the battery life. There should be no risk of losing data even if the cache is out-of-sync because only file tree browser uses the cache and low level file system functions never uses it directly. On possible error situations the cache is automatically disabled on the fly.
This setting controls time related menu options.
Set current time and date.
Choose 12 or 24 Hour clock.
Rockbox can be configured to turn off power after the unit has been idle for a defined number of minutes. The unit is idle when playback is stopped or paused. It is not idle while the USB or charger is connected, or while recording. Can be set anywhere between 1 and 10s or to 15s, 30s, 45s and 60s. Can also be set OFF.
This option lets you power off your jukebox after playing for a given time. This setting is reset on boot. Using this option disables the Wake up alarm (see below). Can be set between 15 minutes (Displayed as 00:15) up to 5 hours (Displayed as 05:00), in increments of 15 minutes. Can also be set OFF.
This option turns the jukebox off and then starts it up again at the specified time. This is most useful when combined with the Resume on Startup setting set to 'Yes,' so that the jukebox wakes up and immediately starts playing music.
If the jukebox is turned on again before the alarm occurs, the alarm will be canceled.
Using this option disables the Sleep Timer.
This submenu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system.
Configurable limit of files in the directory browser (file buffer size). You can configure the size to be between 50 and 10000 files in increments of 50 files. The default is 400. Higher values will shorten the music buffer.
Note: the device must be rebooted for settings to take effect!
Option to configure the maximum size of a playlist. The playlist size can be between 1000 and 20000 files in increments of 1000. By default it is 10000. Higher values will shorten the music buffer.
Note: the device must be rebooted for settings to take effect!
This option turns on and off the car ignition auto stop function.
When using the jukebox in a car, car adapter mode automatically stops playback on the jukebox when power (i.e., from cigarette lighter power adapter) to the external DC in jack is turned off. When the external power off condition is detected, the Car Adapter Mode function only pauses the playback. In order to shut down the jukebox completely the Idle Poweroff function must also be set. If power to the DC in jack is turned back on before the Idle Poweroff function has shut the jukebox off, playback will be resumed 5 seconds after the power is applied. This delay is to allow for the time while the car engine is being started. Once the jukebox is shut off either manually, or automatically with the Idle Poweroff function, it must be powered up manually to resume playback.
See here for further information.
This option activates the line in port on Jukebox Player, which is off by default. This is useful for such applications as:
* Game boy -> jukebox -> human * Laptop -> jukebox ->human * LAN party computer -> jukebox -> human
Bookmarks allow you to save your current position within a track so that you can return to it at a later time.
Bookmarks are saved on a per folder basis. In other words, all of the files in the same folder have their bookmarks stored together. You can store multiple bookmarks for the same track.
Write a bookmark to the disk whenever the stop key is pressed. If playback is stopped it can be resumed easily at a later time. The Resume function remembers your position in the most recently accessed track regardless of this setting.
When this is on, Rockbox automatically returns to the position of the last bookmark within a file when it is played. If set to Ask, Rockbox will ask the user whether they want to start from the beginning or the bookmark. When set to no, playback always starts from the beginning and the Bookmark file must be played or Load Bookmark selected from the Bookmarks submenu of the Main Menu while the file is playing
If this option is turned on, Rockbox will store a list of Bookmarks that have been accessed recently. This is then accessible from the Recent Bookmarks option of the Bookmarks submenu of the Main Menu.
This setting controls the language of the Rockbox user interface. Select this option to bring up a list of installed languages. Select a language to activate it. The language files must be in the /.rockbox/lang/ directory.
Controls the Voice User Interface, implemented predominantly for blind users, to help in navigating through menus and files. In simple terms, this makes RockBox speak your folder or filenames to you.
This option turns on the Voice User Interface, which will read out menu items and settings as they are selected by the cursor. In order for this to work, a voice file must be present in the /.rockbox/lang/ directory on the recorder. Voice files are large (1.5MB) and are not shipped with Rockbox by default. The voice file is the name of the language for which it is made, followed by the extension .voice. So for English, the file name would be english.voice. This option is ON by default. It will do nothing unless the appropriate .voice file is installed in the correct place on the jukebox.
* Setting the Sound Option Channels to 'karaoke' may disable voice menus. * Plug-ins and the wake up alarm do not support voice features.
'How To' for using Voice Interface
Download Voice Files
This option turns on the speaking of directory names. The jukebox is not powerful enough to produce these voices in real time, so a number of options are available:
This option turns on the speaking of file names. The options are similar to Voice Directories:
See http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceHowto for more details on configuring speech support in Rockbox.
Allows you to load or save system configuration files. On Archos jukeboxes, this menu also allows you to load or save different firmware versions.
Opens the file browser in the /.rockbox directory and displays all .cfg (configuration) files. Selecting one will activate it, stop will exit back to the menu. See the Write .cfg files option on the Manage Settings menu for details of how to save and edit a configuration file.
Resets all configuration settings back to their default values.
This option writes a Rockbox configuration file to your jukebox's hard disk. The configuration file has the ".cfg" extension and is used to store all of the user settings that are described throughout this manual.
A configuration file may reside anywhere on the hard disk. Multiple configuration files are permitted. So, for example, you could have a car.cfg file for the settings that you use while playing your jukebox in your car, and a headphones.cfg file to store the settings that you use while listening to your jukebox through headphones.
The Rockbox configuration file is a plain text file, so once you use the "Write .cfg file" option to create the file, you can edit the file on your computer using any text editor program. Configuration files use the following formatting rules:
* Each setting must be on a separate line. * Each line has the format "setting: value". Values must be within the ranges specified in this manual for each setting. * Lines starting with # are ignored. This lets you write comments into your configuration files.
Configuration files may be loaded using the Browse .cfg files option on the Manage Settings menu.
Configuration files do not need to contain all of the Rockbox options. You can create configuration files that change only certain settings. So, for example, you could create configuration files that control only the bass boost and treble boost functions. Create a few different files with different bass and treble settings, give each file a different name (such as EQ_Normal.cfg, EQ_Bassboost.cfg, etc.), and you can then use the Browse .cfg files option to select EQ presets!
This menu option switches to the radio screen:
Note: only basic radio functionality has been implemented on iriver. Presets are not yet available and FM recording is not yet fully implemented, although initial testing on Iriver using the 'PCM recording' function in the DEBUG menu has been successful (See this topic thread on Mistic River for more information).
The keys are:
The FM radio has the ability to record and to remember station frequency settings (presets). As noted above, preset and recording features are not yet implemented on iriver.
* Saving a preset. You can save your favourite stations in the 32 presets. Press F1 to go to the menu, then select "Save preset". Enter the name (maximum number of characters is 32).
* Selecting a preset. Press F2 to go to the preset list. Use UP and DOWN to move the cursor and then press PLAY to select. Use LEFT to leave the preset without selecting anything.
* Removing a preset. Press F1 to go to the menu, then select "Remove preset".
* Recording. Press F3 to start recording the currently playing station. Press OFF to stop recording. Press PLAY again to seamlessly start recording to a new file. The settings for the recording can be changed in the F1 menu before starting the recording.
Note: On Archos models, the radio will turn off when playing an MP3. As recording is currently implemented on iriver, the radio will continue to play if an audio file is started during radio play. To turn off the radio, return to the radio screen and press STOP.
Despite this not being officialy implemented yet, initial testing of FM (radio) recording on the iriver H1xx series has been successful (See this topic thread on MisticRiver for more information).
The Playlist Options menu allows you to work with playlists. Playlists can either be created automatically by playing a file in a directory directly, which will cause all of the files in that directory to be placed in the playlist, or they can be created by hand using the File Menu or using the Playlist Options menu. Both automatic and manually created playlists can be edited using this menu.
iriver users: See IriverPlaylistInstructions for detailed instructions on creating, editing and saving an on-the-fly playlist.
This option creates a playlist with all tracks in the current directory and all subdirectories. The playlist will be created one folder level "up" from where you currently are. If you are in the root directory when you select the 'create playlist' option, Rockbox will create a playlist of all tracks on the player, and that playlist will be place in the root directory.
Displays the contents of the playlist currently stored in memory.
Saves the current dynamic playlist, excluding queued tracks, to the specified file. If no path is provided then playlist is saved to current directory
If set to ON then when you insert/queue a directory in Dynamic Playlist, all subdirectories will also be inserted. If set to ASK then you are prompted about recursive insertion when inserting a directory.
Rockbox features a plug-in concept. Only one plug-in may be running at a time. This menu item allows you to browse the various plug-ins that are available for Rockbox. For more information on which plug-ins are available on each supported platform, please see the Plug In page of the WikiManual.
This option shows MP3 ram buffer size, battery voltage level and estimated time remaining, disk total space and disk free space. On iriver, press UP and DOWN on the joystick to step through several pages of information. On Archos Players use the MINUS and PLUS keys to step through several pages of information.
This is an alternative way to access the ID3 viewer.
Displays some basic system information. This is, from top to bottom, the amount of memory Rockbox has available for storing music (the buffer), battery status, hard disk size and the amount of free space on the disk.
Software version and credits display.
This submenu is intended to be used only by Rockbox developers. It shows hardware, disk, battery status and a lot of other information. It is not recommended that users access this menu unless instructed to do so in the course of fixing a problem with Rockbox. In particular the 'Dump ROM Contents,' 'View/clear RTC RAM' and 'Screenshot' and 'Sound test' functions should be treated with care.
You can access the Rockbox main menu by pressing MENU (player/studio version), F1 (recorder version), or A-B (iriver version) key. All options in Rockbox can be controlled via this menu. Some of them can also be found in the Quick Menu (Recorder and iriver versions only).

Lived here for a year(2011-2012), it was expensive for being in Deer Park. $1,200 for a two room apartment. After my year contract was up it went to $1,500 a month, and I left shortly after. The complex can't seem to hold on to a site manager for more than a few months, and I had trouble getting a hold of the 24 hour maintenance guy when I was locked out of my apartment. It took about two hours for him to get on site. I had great credit so I didn't require a deposit. As I was moving out I was charged $600 for repairs and damages, which was reasonable because I had two cats. After I had paid them the $600 they reported me to a collections agency. Deer Glen claimed to have never seen the $600 I had paid them even though I had a receipt and proof from my credit union they had cashed my check. Long story short I ended up having to pay an additional $600 to the collection agency to get them off my back. Because of Deer Glen's incompetence I was out an additions $600 and my credit rating was damaged. Screw you Deer Glen.

The comment above is not true at all....very racist I honestly haven't seen any Hispanics and if I did why would that make a difference? Hispanics are very clean people. The staff is very nice and respectful. They even have it where they will take ur trash for you. The neighbors are super friendly and nice most military. The parking is a little close and they don't come with microwaves but that's the only negatives so far :-). Not a bad place to live at all!

I hate them for what they did to TechTV. They destroyed it just to get their G4 crap on DirecTV. Now this…
On-air message says Versus is not available. Why?
Our contract with Comcast expired August 31 and we were unable to reach agreement on a renewal. Comcast was not only demanding renewal terms that did not reflect market value for the channel but also demanding carriage terms that were discriminatory. Comcast forced us to drop Versus unless we agreed to their unreasonable terms.
Dear DIRECTV Customer:
We want you to know we're doing everything we can to keep your favorite sports programming on DIRECTV but we've simply reached an impasse with Comcast over its Versus channel.
In sports, we all expect fair play and a level playing field – a competitor that plays by the rules. Evidently that's not the rule book Comcast plays by. Its unreasonable demands are the economic equivalent of juicing to gain an advantage over its competitors. And our fear is that their egregiously greedy behavior may ultimately kill coverage of your favorite sports on television.
The deal that just expired was well above market value and beyond what other significant distributors were paying. To add insult to injury Comcast demanded we carry Versus at a 20 percent premium in a new deal, thereby forcing us to take down the channel. We're not happy about this, but we hope you understand that we must hold the line on programming costs in order to protect our customers from unwarranted price increases in this difficult economic climate.
We have successfully negotiated hundreds of carriage deals, but sometimes you need to stand up to a bully and there is a strong possibility that if Comcast makes these same demands to other distributors, they will also be forced to drop Versus resulting in significantly reduced exposure and availability of the sports you like to watch on Versus. Maybe that's what Comcast wants; other than greed it's the only other explanation.
You have our commitment that we will continue to negotiate in good faith with Versus to try and reach a fair settlement. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Thank you.
Derek Chang
Executive Vice President, Content Strategy and Development
DIRECTV, Inc.
Comcast said they were raising the rate because of increased costs to add College football. To be sure Comcast sucks, and DirecTV sucks. It is amazing to see what DirecTV has written after they did worse with the MLB Extra Innings Deal.

This Budding Gardener has never been to Canada Blooms before. I know, I know… what a gardening sin! This is the 13th year of the show and I have to make up for lost time! I was going through the website to plan my day and was overwhelmed with everything there is to see–from the feature gardens to the shopping to the seminars. I will definitely be there on Wednesday shooting some video for CanadianGardening.com and checking out the booths, but I also want to see some of the presentations.
These are some of the reasons I'm excited to visit Canada Blooms:
- Creating an organic perennial garden of continuous bloom
(Speaker: Lorraine Roberts)
Because perennials are my best friends–they come up every year no matter what–and in my quest to be greener, this should be a very helpful seminar.
- Gardening with Mother Nature the natural way
(Speaker: Marjorie Mason)
Because I want my garden to be an eco haven. Marjorie has written a great book called Ecological Gardening: Your Path to a Healthy Garden. It's trade paperback-sized, perfect for the subway, except I also need a pad and pen to take notes while reading!
- Vertical vegetables
(Speaker: Kenneth Brown)
Because I'm planning on planting a square-foot garden and I need all the advice I can get to ensure I actually have something to eat at the end of all my hard work.
- No more chemicals in the garden
(Speaker: Jeff Lowefels)
Because I need to know how to keep my ant population down without grabbing for a can of Raid.
- Dramatic containers
(Speaker: Paul Zammit)
Because I need some fresh ideas for this year's pots. I will be filming a step-by-step video next week of Paul planting his gorgeous containers at the Toronto Botanical Garden! Stay tuned!
- Since I love to travel, I'm looking forward to checking out the VIA Rail Garden Route and Tourism Ireland's Garden Travel area. Aldona did a portion of the Garden Route out west last fall and it sounds amazing!
- The City of Toronto's 175th Anniversary Garden — to celebrate my city's birthday.
- The Heart and Stroke Pulse Garden and the Canadian Cancer Society: Cancer Connections urban gallery for inspiration.
- Pick Ontario Avenue because I can't resist shopping!

Under the Radar DVD of the Week: 'Horrid Henry: The Movie'
This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists is:
"Horrid Henry: The Movie"
While young American readers follow the antics of Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid books and Beverly Cleary's Ramona novels, British youngsters seem equally dedicated to their own spunky young troublemaker in Francesca Simon's popular Horrid Henry series. Now this spirited English rascal (like his American counterparts) takes his antics to the big screen in "Horrid Henry: The Movie" (due out on DVD Tuesday).
Populated with a floridly named band of nemeses and sidekicks – Moody Margaret, Perfect Peter and the teacher Miss Battleaxe – the books follow the hijinks of the rebellious grade-schooler of the title as he leads a gang of pranksters called the Purple Hand Gang, defies rules of propriety and does battle with school authorities.
In the movie, Henry (Theo Stevenson) pulls one too many pranks and embarrasses his school during a big inspection. As a result, his stern teacher Miss Battleaxe (the estimable Anjelica Huston), with whom Henry has a love-hate relationship, gets fired and his school is put on probation.
So Henry winds up being sent off to a prissy, private all-girls school (his dotty, rich aunt believes he's a girl). Miserable there, Henry concedes to join forces with his rule-following brother Perfect Peter (Ross Marron), his archnemesis neighbor Moody Margaret (Scarlett Stitt) and sweet teacher Miss Lovely (Parminder Nagra) to rescue his old school and even save Miss Battleaxe's job.
"Horrid Henry: The Movie" is rated G and runs 93 minutes. It's being released by Peace Arch Trinity.

Embodied Wisdom w/ Karen Harris:
An Introduction to the Philosophy of Yoga, Level I
Four Monday evenings: September 20 - October 11
7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
The vast wealth of India's spiritual wisdom arises out of the inspirational texts and teachings of its most ancient religious and philosophical texts and traditions. In this class, we will explore the foundations of Indian spirituality and practice, including the Vedas, Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita. Clear descriptions of the key teachings of each system will be offered, along with contemplative explorations of how we can apply this ancient wisdom in our daily lives.
This class is a prerequisite for Embodied Wisdom Level II,
which will be taught at Om Shala Yoga in the spring of 2011.
$70 through September 10 | $85 after September 10
Karen Harris is a lifelong student of religious traditions who brings both the rigor of academic research and the insight of decades of committed spiritual practice to her work as a university lecturer, yoga philosophy instructor, and interfaith minister. Karen has spent years traveling in Asia, and has lived and practiced in ashrams and monasteries in the U.S., India, Nepal, and Tibet. She received her Master of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School, and currently teaches in HSU's Religious Studies Department.

How to make your hair appear thick and strong
Match the color in your hair to the particle color. We offer 9 color choices.
Click here to see the color choices.
|How to get a strong shape
A sample of some 75 men were selected (based on their famous personae as good looking men). We found a number of commonalities. We identified three common eyebrow shapes to this group.
|A typical feminine shape:
|A typical male shape:
Note the tapered delicate finish on the tail, the high arch, and the thin shape.
Note the flat shape, the blunt tail,
|Three common shapes were identified:
|Shape your eyebrows into any one of these shapes by following the step by step grooming instructions for thick eyebrows. For each shape above you can select from three stencil sizes. Click here to see the stencils you can choose from.
|Also, no hint of grey- vitality creates a strong look
Eyebrow powder will make graying brow hair look stronger and deeper in color. For maximum gray coverage the Eyebrowz White Stick will coat the hairs making each hair sticky. The result is more powder particles will stick to each hair giving superior gray coverage. Under a microscope coverage looks like this:
|The eyebrow close to the eye creates a bigger, stronger look
|A: Both circles are the same size. The same illusion holds true when the sun sets each night. The sun appears much bigger when it is close to the horizon (the line). When it is higher in the sky it appears smaller. The sun is always 150,000,000 km away. It does not get twice as close or grow twice as big at sunset.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
A criminal appeal is where a convicted person tries to overturn a decision that the court made through proving that the decision was made in error or that new evidence has been found. Usually the process does not make it into court, but is handled through paperwork and attorneys. Appellant courts are not like district courts due to the fact that they are not considered courts of record. In the appellant court there are no court reporters, no witness stands, and no juries. In most cases these courts do not receive evidence or testimony, but review the facts that are in question from a already completed case.
Case Details: Lawyer was payed to file a criminal appeal and failed to bring up DNA evidence that would prove innocense. Can the accused file another appeal and what can be done about the lawyer?
The person would need to try and sue the lawyer for malpractice. If the DNA would have cleared the person and the lawyer did not bring this fact up, then the lawyer did not do his job in proving just cause for the appeal so he most likely should be sued for malpractice. The lawyer should also be sued on the grounds that he/she did not inform the defendant of the decision. The defendant should also report the lawyer to the Florida bar Association for the malpractice.
Case Details: Prisoner in California. The molestation did not involve the prisoner's children.
The prisoner would need to file a motion in the court and prove that he/she is not a danger to his/her own children with a copy of the report from CPS as well. The court would then hold a hearing in which the prisoner would be brought in and the court would decide on an order to allow the children to visit the parent in prison. This has to be done by the prisoner himself/herself or their attorney.
Legal grounds for appeal are when there is a question of sufficiency of evidence, which means that the evidence that was presented at trial did not meet the grounds of sufficiency to convict the person of the crime. The constitutional grounds are when the person did not have sufficient counsel to present his/her defense. Another constitutional ground would be the defendant's right to a speedy trial.
Case Details: Friend borrowed a vehicle and got a DUI. Cops sent the vehicle owner a letter to surrender the license plates. The owner wasn't near the vehicle when the vehicle borrower got the DUI.
When a person is made to surrender hi/her tags, then one of the most popular defenses are "The Innocent Owner" defense. This means if the owner is not driving or near the vehicle when a crime is committed then they are considered to be a innocent owner and should file a lawsuit called a petition for Judicial Review and request a hearing based on the grounds that the person was a innocent owner.
When a defendant thinks that he/she was not represented right or there is new evidence that proves them to be innocent, then he/she may have questions regarding the process in which to file a criminal appeal. The person or their associate may need to consult an Expert to gain the answers that he/she may need.

Legal Week's annual survey, designed to identify the UK's 'Best Legal Employer', saw us perform well across a range of categories including high scores for the quality of our client portfolio and the level of interaction we have with them. Openness regarding career opportunities and co-operation between team members were also acknowledged by employees as being integral to the firm's culture. Plus, the office environment across both our Bristol and London offices was recognised as being first-class.
Overall, these strong results saw us move from number 42 in the table in 2010, to 22 this year - described by Legal Week as a 'dramatic assault' on the rankings. Burges Salmon's Head of Personnel, James Fountaine, said: "Valuing and investing in opportunities for our people is central to the way we do business, it is therefore very pleasing to see the firm increase its ranking in this way. In particular, we pride ourselves on the ability to fit our teams to every client's individual needs, and this can only happen effectively when there is a genuine culture of collaboration. Naturally, there are certain areas where there is still room for improvement, but overall we are pleased to see that our rankings reflect our position as a leading UK firm.
