We are all well aware that Netflix has agreed to pay Comcast in order to get direct access to its customers, but it looks like the popular TV and movie streaming service will be paying another ISP very soon. According to Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, Netflix and his company are in talks right now to finalize a paid interconnect agreement for direct peering to Verizon customers.
"It shows you don't necessarily need a lot of regulation in a dynamic market here. Doing these commercial deals will get good investment and good returns for both parties," Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam said in a recent interview.
Earlier in the week Verizon said that customers who use a lot of bandwidth should have to pay more money. He wasn't talking about Netflix in that instance, but customers who use the service and do things like watching streaming video from other services (Twitch, WWE Network, Hulu, Crackle, and YouTube, for example) download files (like 2+ GB games on Xbox One or PS4, for example) and other bandwidth intensive services (such as multiplayer gaming). The company didn't mention these activities by name, but generally these services do use a ton of bandwidth and consumers use them every day. In Verizon's dark and gritty future you'll probably have to pay a premium to continue using these services unabated…
With a victory over the FCC in the Federal Appeals Court related to the agency's Open Internet Order, Verizon has certainly been emboldened to make public comments and pressure bandwidth intensive services to pay up.
We'll have more on this story as it developers.

For the New Orleans Jazz Fest, Adam Levine was decked out in his traditional white cotton t-shirt and skinny jeans and was a veritable dancing machine.
According to the Times-Picayune, the cold weather might have encouraged Levine's on-stage exuberance to stay warm as he danced his skinny little butt off during Maroon 5's performance.
The sassy judge on The Voice gave quite a show, moving like a whirling dervish on tage and chatting up the audience in between songs.
Well, if there's one thing I like, it's a man with plenty of energy.

Local gas prices rising again
NORTH COUNTY - Gas prices jumped up this week in North County, this time in sync with record oil prices that surpassed $80 per barrel for the first time Thursday.
Increases at cash-only Arco stations, usually considered the low-price leaders, signal that gas prices have more room to rise in the next week, said Charles Langley, a gas analyst with the Utility Consumers' Action Network.
The North County average for regular unleaded gasoline was $2.85 per gallon one week ago and rose above $2.90 midweek, according to a survey of 191 North County stations taken by the consumer group for the North County Times.
Independent gas station owners in the region reported a rapid increase in prices on the spot market, where they buy their gasoline.
"For independents, it's been really bad for the last couple months," said Mohsen Arabshai, owner of two gas stations in Oceanside, adding that his profit margins had been squeezed to only a few pennies per gallon.
David Hackett, a former Mobil Oil trader and president of Stillwater Associates in Irvine, predicted that prices would not rise as high as the $3.50-per-gallon level that North County saw in May.
"They sort of hit a floor at the end of August," he said. "They were as low as they were going to go, given that crude oil prices are rocketing up now."
Hackett said that in May, high gas prices were driven by "poor refinery performance" and shutdowns in the California market. But this month's increase is due to the record price of crude, pushed by energy traders' concern over Hurricane Humberto's threat to oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico.
The price could be moderated by weakening economic strength and the usual post-Labor Day softening of demand for gasoline, he said.
At the beginning of August, oil prices hit a then-record $78 per barrel but gas prices in California fell because of abundant gasoline supplies and refinery capacity in the state, whose gasoline market is insulated from the rest of the country.
Although refinery output in California hasn't dropped much since the beginning of August, stocks of the specially formulated gasoline produced by the state's refineries have fallen by 15 percent, according to the state Energy Commission's Web site.
ExxonMobil's plant in Torrance reported a partial shutdown starting Aug. 20 and is expected to last until Oct. 20.
The North County Times' weekly survey of local gas prices will appear in Sunday's paper.
Contact staff writer Quinn Eastman at (760) 740-5412 or email@example.com . Comment at nctimes.com.
Gas prices continued to fall this week in North County, in contrast with oil prices that hit a record high Wednesday. Industry analysts debated how soon gas prices might catch up.
North County gas stations charged an average of $3.02 for unleaded regular gasoline on Saturday, according to a survey of 202 North County stations taken by the Utility Consumers' Action Network for the North County Times.
The North County average this week was more than 40 cents less than its peak at the beginning of May.
In contrast, the price of crude oil in New York on Wednesday surpassed $78 per barrel, breaking a record set in July 2006.
The nationwide lull in prices was more pronounced in California.
This spring, the North County average was 40 or 50 cents more than the national average, but this week came within 10 cents of that average, according to UCAN's survey.
With no pipeline and special state requirements, California's gasoline market is isolated from the rest of the country. Small fluctuations in supply can lead to large price swings, according to University of California studies.

Mandate and functions
The Commission reviews and analyses the global drug control situation, considering the interrelated issues of prevention of drug abuse, rehabilitation of drug users and supply and trafficking in illicit drugs. It takes action through resolutions and decisions.
Functional commission of the Economic and Social Council
It was established by the Economic and Social Council as one of its functional commissions on 16 February 1946 ( resolution 9(I)). The Commission assists the Council in supervising the application of the international drug control treaties. It also advises the Council on all matters pertaining to the control of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors.
Normative functions
The Commission on Narcotic Drugs has important normative functions under the international drug control conventions. It is inter alia authorized to consider all matters pertaining to the aims of the Conventions and see to their implementation. As a treaty organ under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961 and the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, 1971, the Commission decides, on the basis of recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO), to place narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances under international control. Pursuant to the Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances 1988, the Commission decides, upon the recommendation of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), to place precursor chemicals frequently used for the manufacture of illicit drugs under international control. The Commission may also decide to remove or modify international control measures over drugs, psychotropic substances or precursors.
For more information, please see: Fact sheet on scheduling procedures
Governing body of the UNODC drug programme
The mandates of the Commission were further expanded in 1991. The Commission functions as a governing body: It approves the budget of the Fund of the United Nations International Drug Control Programme, which is administered by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and finances measures to combat the world drug problem.
Monitoring political commitments on drug control
The Commission was also mandated to monitor the outcome of the 1998 Special Session of the General Assembly on countering the world drug problem, as well as the renewed commitments enshrined in the 2009 Political Declaration and Plan of Action.

A pyramid pummeled: Albania's financial crisis
International | Failed get-rich-quick schemes lead to anarchy then martial law; capitalist excesses threaten Eastern European freedom
American missionary Von Golder admitted to being a little more ready to pay taxes this year after watching a Marine Corps CH-43 gunship lift off from Tirana last weekend with his family aboard. Mr. Golder's wife and three children were among more than 400 Americans evacuated from Albania after weeks of protests and rioting turned into civil skirmishes and wholesale looting.
"These are days of weeping and fear in Albania as the Lord does surgery on us," Mr. Golder wrote to friends via e-mail following his family's departure March 14. The collapse of pyramid investment schemes that has engulfed the country in anarchy threatens to undo fledgling Christian churches as well. Protestant churches have been legal in the former communist country for less than a decade; they have shallow roots to withstand the violence and deprivation now sweeping the country.
Mr. Golder, a church planter in the Balkan country since just before the fall of communism in 1991, felt he should stay on with recently converted Christians even as he sent his family to safety.
"I have been convicted by the mention in John 10:12 about the hired hand abandoning the sheep when the wolf comes," said Mr. Golder. "I saw this happening when pastors were forced to leave the cities in the South when the violence first broke out. We kept in daily phone contact with one of those churches, and they seemed to be fighting a losing battle with fear and despair. I don't believe that is right if it can be avoided."
Others have decided to remain at church-planting posts as well. Missionary Steve Galegor said he plans to stay on in Korce, another site of fighting. "It has been said that if we go now there is no need to come back," he said. "The issue of credibility is greatly at stake at this time."
David Allen, based in Tirana, also felt called to stay, but sent his wife and children home to Great Britain until stability returns. Nurse Heather Eley, along with two other American missionaries, will remain in Tirana as well, caring for 180 orphans.
American Mark Nyberg and his German co-worker, Peter Hoffman, are the only foreign workers remaining in the city of Vlore. Mr. Nyberg directs an orphanage run by AMG International, a Chattanooga-based interdenominational ministry, in Vlore. Sixty-six babies and small children now housed at the orphanage would have nowhere to go if the two foreigners agreed to be evacuated. But keeping the place running is risky as well. Two weeks ago, looters struck the orphanage's warehouse. They stole a year's supply of basic foodstuff and some equipment. With all supplies for the orphanage set to run out this week, and diesel fuel for its vehicles gone too, Mr. Nyberg is looking for ways to place the children in private homes temporarily.
Vlore is the second largest port in Albania. Five of nine companies involved in the pyramid schemes were based there, so it has been at the epicenter of chaos.
Even before communism, Albania was Europe's poorest country. With the Communists' fall in 1991, Albanians latched onto the risky pyramid ventures that briefly lured all of the former Eastern Bloc. The promise of impossibly high returns of up to 100 percent a month offered Albanians comforts they could only imagine during five decades of harsh Communist isolation. Up to 1 million of Albania's 3.2 million people poured between $1 billion and $2 billion into the pyramid schemes, most of which have now failed.
According to AMG's Tasos Ioannidis, the situation in Vlore is "desperate." Troops and tanks have surrounded the city since despair over the investment losses led to February protest demonstrations and the burning of banks and businesses involved in the fraudulent investment deals. Police actually left the city rather than defend the government of President Sali Berisha, who is seen as a dictator. When mob rule took hold, unrest spread to other cities in southern Albania as protesters raided military and police depots, stealing at least 20,000 weapons (journalists reported seeing 10-year-olds carrying Kalashnikovs) and raiding prisons to release inmates as far north as the capital of Tirana.
Like the rest of Albania, Vlore is now under a curfew, with shops and public places forced to close at 3 p.m. every day and public meetings of any kind banned. Outside news reports, too, are blacked out in the government-enforced state of emergency.
Even in Tirana, citizens expected to run out of bread this week; store owners removed many other supplies from the shelves to avoid looters.
Americans and Christians who want to stand up to the anarchy could find themselves its targets. Rich Westerners, or even those who appear to be by comparison, can become loathsome in a country where millions have lost their homes or their life savings in investment schemes. Those who were taken in may blame the Albanian government for not regulating the pyramid peddlers, but they also decry the capitalist model of open markets that made them possible in the first place. If President Berisha does step down, as protesters insist he must, he will likely be replaced by a socialist faction that tends toward communism.
A backlash against free enterprise--which cannot provide instant prosperity--is not confined to Albania. Other parts of Eastern Europe are feeling it as well, as get-rich-quick dreams face the need for perseverance. Particularly in the Balkans, political stability and prosperity have been overcome by what James Madison called the "mischiefs of faction."
Bulgaria endured a winter of street protests as one-third of the country's banks failed and inflation soared to 50 percent in January. "There is more money in mattresses than in banks," a missionary with Church of God World Missions said.
Bulgarians resorted to eating pigeon when bread became unavailable for several weeks; now a loaf costs the equivalent of $15. An interim government formed in anticipation of April elections announced government austerity measures last week that will include laying off 58,000 government workers. As Bulgarians prepare for things to get worse before they improve, communism looks better than ever to some. "We had no shortages then," one street protester with a short memory said.
In Yugoslavia, months of street protests have forced Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic to acknowledge opposition victories in local elections, but he may lose power in national elections later this year. The hardline socialist government's failure to enact economic reforms, however, means more hardship ahead no matter who is at the reins.
Even in the Czech Republic, on the eve of admission to the European Union and NATO, economic reform is at a standstill as a coalition government led by President Vaclav Havel faces increasing pressure from leftist parties. Teachers plan to strike through the end of March, demanding a 20 percent increase in pay.
Slow economic progress is not holding back the march of modern technology. Internet access in Albania slowed government attempts at a crackdown. Like Yugoslavia in the midst of turmoil earlier this year, Western news is reaching the country via computers in spite of a broadcast blackout. Electronic mail allowed many to make plans to exit the country and find places of refuge in nearby Italy or Greece, and even to know which roads were the safest to take out of the country. The biggest news for Albania's missionaries last week was the location of Mission Aviation Fellowship's Albanian Encouragement Project. The e-mail, post office, and news service for missionaries was forced into hiding to keep its equipment from the hands of looters. Even so, said director David Fyock, MAF's system was "running on overdrive" with news and prayer requests.
Relatives of the Golder family, too, saw the benefits of instant technology when Mr. Golder and his family appeared briefly on CNN. Sue Golder's mother, Gladys Nicol, saw her daughter and grandchildren on the news network as they were preparing to be evacuated near the U.S. embassy. Mrs. Nicol knew they were trying to get out of the country, but the helmets on her grandchildren's heads--pictured for her in the States through satellite technology--were a sure sign they were on their way.

Now that we've seen plenty of examples of Metroid fandom, time to at long last to hear some of the game's legendary music.
It's the kind of sequel that needed to happen, along with the kind of remake that no one else had been able to do. It's Metroids Fusion and Zero Missions!
What's the best Metroid game ever made? The answer is easy! And the answer is also Prime.

High-level Node.JS interface to parallel ports.
Parport.js is a Node.JS addon you can use to access,
control and communicate with parallel ports.
It uses the C++/Java library Parallel-Port to provide a high-level and cross-platform✝ interface.
npm install parport
As Parallel-Port is distributed under the GPL, I'm forced to do the same (which I perfectly agree). So, Parport.JS is distributed under the GPLv3.
var par = require'parport'; var port = ;portwriteControl241;console.log'Data:' portreadData;console.log'Status:' portreadStatus;
You can pass an ID to pick which port to open (useful if you have more than one):
var port = 1;portwriteData110;
And remember:
Exceptions may be thrown
if something goes wrong.
Full documentation can be found under
More examples can be found under
Important: these are only the bindings to Node.JS. The common interface to the platform-dependent functions is in Parallel-Port.
Parallel-Port currently works on the following platforms:
Linux: through the parport driver (usually comes with kernel, see
Windows: through the Inpout32 library (free for non-commercial use only).
It seems it doesn't work on 64-bit Windows, though.
Platforms with no (but planned) support:

This books is a documentation of the international art exhibition EUtopia - Artistic Visions Of Europe, a cooperation of CULTUREINSIDE.COM and the Cultural Center Neumünster Abbey in Luxembourg in the context of the Euroepan Year 2010 for combating poverty and social exclusion.
50 works-of-art in diverse media were chosen by an international curatorial committee in competition, as part of an artist's call. The dual theme was the name "EUtopia" with all the varied associations that it might engender, and the context of "poverty and social exclusion" in Europe. The frisson between these oppositional poles has allowed artists to create works of fantasy, surrealism, social commentary, abstraction and other artistic forms. ...
CULTUREINSIDE.com is a free online social network for the visual art community and encompasses both artists and art amateurs. It is a European initiative coming from Luxembourg. We connected Europe to New York mid 2008, opening an office and expert staff connected to academic and commercial art world in New York. We want to create opportunities for dialog of our European artists with the world-at-large. CULTUREINSIDE gives real visibility to artist. To do so CULTUREINSIDE develops an artist-driven approach. CI is a quality-oriented network in the interest of artists. The special requirements of the visual arts have not been addressed until now. Artists need several levels of communication and exhibition interface to properly show their work and connect with other artists. This worldwide group is international in spirit and has a strong impetus to connect. CULTUREINSIDE simply gives real visibility to artists online, in virtual and brick & mortar exhibitions and via documentation.

It is now 2:58 am
And I am still wide awake and sitting in the dark staring at the walls...I can't sleep...This is happening a lot!!!
Hmm...I am currently job searching...do you think it's a sign I should focus on a 3rd shift position?? Anyone else plauqed with insomnia?
But then you would be really sleepy at 6 am.
So if you could find a job that went until 3 or 4 am, that could work. I hear they exist. I used to work midnight shifts and was supposed to get off at 7 am, but it was busy at that point, so I often had to stay late, and by the time I got home to go to bed, the people in my house were up and making noise. Sometimes I'd stay up until 10 or 11, and then go to bed.
I think it is more likely that you have a lot on your mind and just can't sleep. Good luck with the job search.
Stress seems to come at me at night when I'm trying to sleep. But I've always been a night owl. Hope everything is working for you now. :)

Luke Jerram's global installation Play Me I'm Yours was presented in Bristol in September last year and will move on to the streets of Belfast, Barcelona and San Jose in 2010. Bristol is still mesmerised by this interactive art project and two lovely films have come out in recent weeks that captured the appreciation of Luke's street pianos.
Have a look at Benji Croce's beautiful time-lapse film and see for yourself how Bristol embraced the opportunity to provide some summertime music:
The second film has been commissioned by the Bristol City Council.

Sure. The tool I recommend for testing the availability of both TCP and UDP ports is nmap, which is part of several Linux distributions and is also available here: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ Nmap is a port scanner (or "network mapper") which is a great tool for performing security audits as well as for one-shot tests of specific ports. To test for XDMCP: nmap -sU -p 177 hostname which will probably tell you something like: The 1 scanned port on hostname (IP) is: closed or Interesting ports on hostname (IP): Port State Service 177/udp open xdmcp To test for WinVNC: nmap -sT -p 5900 hostname To test for VNC on multiple screens (:1, :2, :3, etc.) as well as web access for Java VNC: nmap -sT -p 5800-5999 hostname This should yield something like: Interesting ports on hostname (IP): (The 196 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 5801/tcp open vnc 5802/tcp open unknown 5901/tcp open vnc-1 5902/tcp open vnc-2 Note that the service names reported by nmap are guesses that it makes by looking up port numbers in a table and not based on actual protocol analysis. The guesses are generally pretty good for common services and worse for less common services. Nmap has many other features that I won't go into, but here's a little taste: To find all hosts on an entire subnet with any VNC services running: nmap -sT -p 5900-5999 192.168.0.1-254 -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail majordomo "at" uk.research.att.com with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever entered a room and people are talking animatedly about this new thing that is about to happen and you have no clue to what they are on about?
Google + was that thing for me.
Last week I came to the office find these two Inbound Marketing gurus, talking excitedly about a new social media platform about to be launched, that will be the mother and father of all social media platforms.
Get Great Shopping Bargains
Msemakweli Subscribers Get Instant Access to Great Stories in the Inbox. Other than that You Get Great Shopping Deals Every Week!
And it got me curious especially being barely that old in tweeting and now there is this other one coming. I needed information PAP!!
What better place to go hunting for relevant info than the internet. First, I tried Google + site, but got the message capacity full wait for invitation, so "Google" I am still waiting.
In my search, I stumbled upon Chris Brogan's site and he seemed to have the 411 I needed at the time, especially since he has had the opportunity to run tests on Google +. His list of Google + 50 makes a good read.
Here is his take on Google+
Google+ is built to take you away from either Facebook or Twitter (or both), and it could do it, in time.
If it seems like Friend Feed, and thus you worry it might burn out, know that Newt Gingrich has already joined.
With a G+ account, you get unlimited photo storage on Picasa. (Flickr feel threatened? FB photos?)
With Circles (how one groups people), you control privacy in a way that makes clear and obvious sense.
Your "about" section is rich, robust, allows links, photos, QR codes, and more. Marketers rejoice.

Given the challenges faced by the property sector in particular, one could easily understand why a global CEO may find it difficult to find time to focus on 'non-core' concerns like building an ethical company. Yet, as Jones Lang LaSalle global CEO Colin Dyer explains, reinforcing ethical behavior is a non-negotiable part of his role. He describes why it is important, what challenges a global company faces, and how the company has gone about implementing an ethical framework across the organisation.
ceoforum.com.au: Given all that is going on in the economy at the moment, how does a CEO focus on being an ethical company?
Colin Dyer: There is no doubt that the economic conditions we all face are creating challenges on almost a daily basis. At the same time, however, the imperative to be an ethical company should be a constant, regardless of market conditions.
I find a very useful test is that, when contemplating some decision or action, to consider how we would feel as a company if that decision or action was featured on the front page of the business press around the world. The test of course, is how you would feel about that kind of exposure, and if you would feel good, that is generally an indication you are acting ethically.
We see ethical business as also being good business. If you act ethically on a consistent basis, that is recognised over time. You will attract the best kinds of business, and you will attract the best clients.
The other point here is that when the CEO and senior management emphasise ethical behaviour, it sends a very strong internal message to employees. It makes it very clear that this is always an expectation in how they act and behave in all their day-to-day dealings, and is fundamental to how we must do business at all times. That also has an impact on the people you attract and hire, so, over time, you get a self-reinforcing culture in the loop.
ceoforum.com.au: Does the fact that Jones Lang Lasalle is a global company make this a more difficult challenge, given that you are operating in many different business environments around the world?
CD: Actually the standards we have are consistent across the company – they represent the ethical behaviour we want across all our operations. As a practical matter, we regularly move people between different operations, so we cannot confuse people by telling them that, in one context, these values matter, but in another they do not. Many of our clients are also global companies, and they also expect us to operate to the same standards regardless of where we are dealing with them. Our standards of behaviour need to be visibly consistent to both our employees and our clients.
ceoforum.com.au: What have been the major initiatives taken to date?
CD: We have an ethics policy for the company as a whole, which we developed earlier this decade and are constantly updating and reinforcing throughout the company. That is quite a broad-ranging document, covering issues such as how we treat clients, counter parties, and even competitors, as well as how we deal with our own employees. It also includes our corporate social responsibilities, such as how we operate in the broader community and how we interact with the environment.
We also sought and obtained an independent validation of our ethics program from the Ethisphere Institute, which has certified our program with its Ethics Inside designation. We were also pleased to have been named by Ethisphere as one of the World's Most Ethical companies, the list of which ran in Forbes magazine at the beginning of December.
While the ultimate sanction on ethics, is, of course, dismissal from the company, we prefer to emphasise education. Our team of global ethics officers runs workshops, for instance, which are strongly case study-based, where the participants examine what has happened, what to avoid, and how to apply the expected standards in that situation. Discussions of this type can be very useful in reinforcing expected behaviours and having people be prepared for the challenges they face.
ceoforum.com.au: How do you see compliance and ethics interacting? One observation you often hear is that too much focus on compliance of various types can push ethics out of the picture.
CD: Having a strong legal framework around how people need to behave is entirely appropriate in many cases. At the same time, we have to recognise that compliance is not sufficient, as it is impossible to legislate for every situation people might face.
What you want to do is develop a level of understanding in people so that, almost instinctively, they know how to behave when confronted with ethical challenges. That starts with the people you hire, and the sort of checks you do on candidates and their work history. That conversation needs to continue as long as they are an employee of the company, so you can be confident they will act in the correct way in almost any situation they may face.
ceoforum.com.au: What do you see as the key implementation challenges in developing and sustaining a strongly ethical company?
CD: Clearly it can't be accomplished overnight – you can only succeed with this by sustained and consistent effort over a long period. In our case, the company has been going around 240 years, and, in that time, acting in a way that is above reproach has been of our three core values, the other two being commitment to the client, and collegiality in working together on behalf of the client.
ceoforum.com.au: One area where ethics can impact enormously on a company is the risk that one instance of unethical behaviour can have major consequences for the company's reputation. How do you manage that risk organisationally?
CD: You can manage some elements of that risk in a legal sense. For instance, we continuously review our dealings with clients and competitors to identify early any legal issues that might emerge, or have started to emerge. The intention is to identify, manage and review any issues quickly, honestly and transparently, before they become problems for the parties concerned. There are also a whole range of tools you can use to manage the different dimensions of financial risk.
With ethical risk, however, because it is all about people's behaviour, there are no fool-proof systems you can put in place to eliminate all risk. It is about consistent reinforcement of the values required, be it in training, education, induction, appraisals or day-to-day business. I believe it is particularly important to have senior people who carry the values to the rest of the organisation, so that, for instance, new people to our organisation will be exposed to the correct examples in this regard. I spend quite a bit of my own time, for instance, addressing our staff on this matter. If the CEO doesn't embody those values, the organisation does not believe you are serious about it.
ceoforum.com.au: What do you believe are the 2-3 most important things for the CEO to get right in developing a more ethical company?CD: The key thing is to set a standard, and then write it down so it can be communicated to the rest of the business, which will need to be resourced appropriately. You also need to make sure the senior people in the business understand and are committed to the values, and are prepared to consistently refer to and reinforce the values in how the business operates. You need to set the example yourself, of course, and so does the rest of the team.

Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
I'm glad I found this thread, although now I'm even more frustrated that this is happening. Like others have reported here, I've had my Pavilion A6300F since late February 2008---just past the two year mark (and if you consider that I was out of the country for two months during that time, then it's only been used for exactly two years!!!)
Today, I was online at TripAdvisor.com when my computer all of a sudden showed a blue screen and then shut off. It went back on briefly once and then nothing. Like everyone else is reporting, I hear the hard disk spinning, hear the fan running, and the DVD drive starts up, but my monitor says it is not receiving video input. I've tried resetting the CMOS and removing the lithium battery on the motherboard for five minutes. I checked all of the connections and everything is secure.
I'm really annoyed. I have been a loyal user of HP computers for the past several years and have always recommended them to family members. In my searches across the internet, it seems like this particular model is failing consistently right around the two year mark. While I'm generally comfortable installing hardware on a computer, I've never replaced a motherboard and am not sure if I feel comfortable doing it myself. If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, I will be buying another computer and it certainly will not be another HP.
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
Well looks like I am in the same boad the the Pavilion A6300F Monitor not working. I got this pc from a friend who said it would come on but keep getting message "monitor not connected". I new that it would be a simple problem or a complex one. I have read the other posts here and see there seems to be a problem with the pc motherboard being defective. One thing I did notice is that the video connection for the monitor is not a very well made connection. Considering how stiff a monitor cord is, the connectin is only supported (physically) by the motherboard itself, thus making it easy to damage if the cord gets moved or snatched. Also noticed like a little connection switch at the base of the plug to the metal wall of the machine, like some sort of ground. If you pull back on it with monitor cable connected, it will make contact as though closing a switch as though this is some type of safety switch or something.
However even after connecting an moving in several directions and making sure the 2 little metal tabs are touching the plug, still nothing.

Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
when the monitor on there is a message in the monitor- VGA- no input signal received and DV- no input signal received is encountered always since first erection.
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
Yes, the a6300f motherboard is a real dud and seems to die with a very high failure rate right around the 2 year old mark. Unlike more commonly failed components such as disk drives, CD/DVD drives, video cards, etc, the MB is not easily replaced and can require an OS re-install (and possible loss of data if you cannot get it backed up in advance). You would probably need to re-install all of your programs (which in my case will be very difficult and time consuming). In addition to this forum/thread, there are many other references to these problems, not to mention the high percent of users who just call HP and either pay them for a replacement/upgrade or scrap the computer and never buy another HP.
I have bought HP computers for many years. I am an electrical engineer who has worked in the computer industry for 25 years I am am highly confident that this is a MB failure due to a defective part. I would like to see HP admit that this is a high-failure-rate component and either compensate all buyers or replace with a different MB for free (goodwill extended warrantee). I am sure that many of you have also paid extra to buy HP workstations over other brands due to their reputation for quality. I feel they have a significant reputation to protect and they will undoubtedly lose more money by losing each of us and our acquaintances as future customers for decades. I am frequently consulted by my friends on which computer to buy and I will not recommend an HP if I lose faith in their quality and willingness to stand behind their product. BTW, here are some other URLs that reference this same problem...
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
Yep, 2 years exactly the same problem. Seems disapointing that HP are not responding to the issue on the forum.
Thank you for previous comments at least gives some direction regarding the issue.
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
Thank You!!! to ChucksComputers you saved my HP A6300F computer.
I followed what you said and installed the Intel DG43GT motherboard and my computer is back to life using all of my original hardware, hard drive and OS. The computer did have to do some self diagnostics and a few reboots before it was totally up and running. Once everything was back to life I had to spend some time loading the new driver software and reconfigure the video settings ect... but that was much easier and far less expensive than setting up a new OS, hard drive and such.
So anyone else out there having the same motherboard failure this fix works and I did it myself. I would consider myself at an intermediate level when it comes to this sorta computer stuff, no formal training just previous hands on experience.
BTW: I got my board from TigerDirect for $79.99 + S&H w/ expedited shipping it was here in a couple days.
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
I also had this problem on my 1 1/2 year old a6300f and replaced the motherboard with an ECS G41T-M2 Gold (V1.0) from NewEgg. Unfortunately, when the motherboard went bad it allowed me to boot several times followed by a variety of crashes before it went to no video. After replacing the motherboard I was unable to boot to Vista possibly due to corruption caused by the crashes so I had to try a system recovery. Well, system recovery either from the D:\ partition or from previously created Recovery DVDs don't work because of the motherboard tattoo. After many attempts somehow I happened to hit a certain sequence that allowed me to access System Recovery and recover the OS. However, just before getting the desktop prepared I got the dreaded "Code Purple" error. Fortunately there is information on the internet on how to get around this so I finally completed the install. It's a real shame that HP has not offered to replace these flawed motherboards. I know that HP representatives monitor this forum and I urge them to scalate this issue with management. During recent years HP's reputation has suffered due to support inadequacies and ignoring the number of viewings that this thread has received will further contribute to this negative view. A little good will on HP's part could go a long way in restoring credibility and help prove that HP's "Total Care" is not just a logo but a reality.
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
I have somewhat the same problem I have A dell 31 inch monitor when the computer is turned on you can hear the computer booting up but the screen is blank after using the remote I turn the monitor off and while turning it back on I hold the button down for forty or fifty seconds some it turns on the screen but most of the time it takes three or four try's to turn on the monitor.
Re: computer turns on, monitor doesnt
hi I just got a 2nd hand HP dc5750 SFF PC - however on startup the monitor returns a 'no signal' like above. The monitor works fine on my existing pc so it's not that. I am connecting thru the monitor plug not the DVI - any thoughts??

Masks made by Songye artists represent either male or female beings. In female masks, such as this one, white clay predominates, and the form of the head crest is rounded. Male masks, in contrast, are decorated with red, black, and white pigments and have a ridge along the crest. In both mask types, angular and thrusting forms project the mouth, nose, and forehead far beyond the facial plane.
Patterns of geometric grooves are unique to these masks. The striations on this example are particularly noteworthy; the artist has used them to balance, and emphasize, the elegant curvature of each of the basic forms in this highly abstracted face.
Catalogue Description:
The object is a female mask with projecting mouth, triangular nose, pierced eyes, overall concentric linear carving, and polychrome pigment. Condition is excellent. Two small holes made in back at a previous time for suspending wire through the mask's widest point. Separate mount.

Nicole van Kildonk's "Taking Chances" is a kid's movie that treads some very dark territory in an affecting way. Kiek, the nine-year-old Dutch girl at the centre of "Taking Chances", has a mop of unruly dark hair that keeps falling upon her tiny triangle of a face, but never quite enough to hide her prematurely wise, hazel-brown eyes. The girl's father is an army doctor about to leave on a mission to an unnamed country, and the child keeps asking him serious questions about his chances of survival.
She's relentless and genuinely concerned: the adults try to feed her evasive answers, but she won't have any of them. Once her father goes missing in action, her world becomes pervaded with a sense of dread and anxious anticipation of news – any news – about him. Nicole van Kilsdonk's movie, playing in the Berlinale Generation programme for children and young adults, is a surprisingly serious story of a child trying to incorporate the notion of death into her burgeoning mind. When Kiek learns that the chances of having one's father die are small, she tries to diminish them still by buying a pet mouse who'd die "instead" of him. Through some twisted – if entirely believable – child logic of her own, she imagines that the more death surrounds her at home, the lesser the probability of her dad being hit by a stray bullet on the battlefield.
The film treads some tricky territory in a subtle way, involving black humour in the scenes of Kiek doing all she can to cause her pet mouse's demise. Van Kilsdonk's approach is both unflinching and playful, with many stop-motion animation sequences that illustrate Kiek's fears, even tinging them with a surrealist streak. The girl's inner world gets more and more insular and aching, which is hauntingly rendered by the young actress Pippa Allen. Mid-way through the film, the tomboyish Kiek lands the lead role of Peter Pan, the ultimate reality-allergic character, in a school production, which she then rejects. Her need to face her fear has a pint-size gallantry all its own. By portraying a child trying to wish away death by means of morbid game-playing, "Taking Chances" resembles René Clément's masterful 1952 "Forbidden Games", in which a pair of war-time orphans created a pet cemetery in order to cope with the historical nightmare taking place around them. Kiek's situation is far less horrifying, but her father's possible death remains equally acute.
In the end, the movie doesn't opt for a cloying ending that would dismiss the girl's anxieties. Even when death doesn't win, its spectre never quite leaves the horizon.

Discovering the "Third World" within the global west in these times of economic and political instability has become a recurrent theme in recent movies. Robert Guédiguian's The "Snow of Kilimanjaro", Aki Kaurismäki's "Le Havre" and Ruben Ostlund's "Play" all explore economic inequalities and their resulting troubling social issues, unfolding within milieus that have long been considered prosperous and unproblematic. Ursula Meier's second feature and Berlinale Competition entry "Sister"(L'Enfant d'en Haut), Switzerland 2011), veers in that direction, exposing the socio-economic alienation at the heart of a ski resort in the Swiss Alps.
That alienation takes the form of family dysfunction, a theme Meier also explored in her first feature "Home" (Switzerland, 2008). But while the latter framed the story of a quirky family living in isolation on the side of a motorway into an absurdist, often laconic and dry portrait full of implicit humorous edges, "Sister" takes a more melodramatic path, excavating deep into the psychological makeup and relationship dynamics of the characters. A young boy, Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein), supports himself and his jobless older sister (Leah Seydoux) by stealing ski equipment from well-off tourists. The sister can't manage to hold down a job. Simon does his best to take care of her, but it's clear she doesn't give him the love he needs.
Kacey Mottet Klein gives an astonishing performance, spurring the narration forward. But the occasional melodramatic, and almost theatrically explanatory parts of the film prevent it from reaching both the absurdist detachment of Meier's first feature, or the observational style of Ostlund's film. In "Play", Ostlund shows how a group of young boys from immigrant families in Gothenburg steal goods from privileged kids; instead of providing commentary or excess information, he leaves the viewer to connect the dots. Meier, on the other hand, never risks leaving anything unclear. She makes it all too easy for the viewer to guess the nature of the relationship between the siblings. That keeps the viewer from becoming alienated by excessively obscure plot developments, but it also prevents full engagement with the reality presented in the film. "Sister" offers moments of genuine feeling and light-hearted humour, and reveals the hidden shadows beneath the world of opulence shining like the white snow at the ski resort. However, with its heavy emotional load and much too straightforward narration, it never takes the risks that would turn it into a truly revelatory social study or a formally interesting piece of cinema.

Outspoken Danish director Lars von Trier could use the editing finesse of Molly Malene Stensgaard during his run-ins with the press, not just with his films. The gracious and soft-spoken Stensgaard has edited Trier's highly regarded works including "Dancer in the Dark", "Dogville" and "Melancholia". After appearing on a panel at this year's Berlinale Talent Campus discussing the collaborative process between editors, directors and screenwriters, Stensgaard took time aside for an interview to explain how it's the "editor's responsibility to make the translation from writing to film."
Anders Wotzke, Talent Campus Press: It's often said that the best edits are the ones you don't notice. Do you think that's true?
Molly Malene Stensgaard: No, and the opposite of that is not true either. The film is always the main thing to consider, and if it's a film where a disturbing, visible language of editing is the right thing to do for the film, then it's the right thing to do. However, for another film, you might not even recall seeing a cut afterwards. It completely depends on the film.
You mention "the language of editing". Do you feel as though with Lars von Trier's films you've developed your own distinctive language as an editor?
Because I've been working so much with von Trier, we have really tried to develop a continuity in the editing. But I think it's important to distinguish that it's not the editor's language, it's the film's language. An editor having a language is not interesting. It's the film that has the language, and you have to adapt to that. Always.
Are there any editing clichés you try to avoid?
Pointing out subtext and dialogue; I hate that. Such as when somebody says: "Oh I'm so angry", when we can clearly see he's angry. You don't need to say it!
Isn't that an issue with the script, or is it the editor's duty to cut that out?
It's definitely the editor's job to cut that out. It's also in the script, yes, and you need to be aware of that, but I feel that it's the editor's responsibility to make the translation from writing to film. There's always a lot of lines that you don't need to say anymore because you can see it in the expressions. You can't always know that up front, so it's up to the editor to pick up on it.
Is the control you have over time your greatest weapon as an editor?
Yes, I think time is a very big thing, but very much on a detail level. It's the sense of time. For me, it's very important to try and create moments on the screen. Moments that feel truthful; authentic. But also the shift between that to something that feels like it's moving forward, feels efficient, is actually the great dynamic of filmmaking. That's very important to work on in the edit: to make time stand still, and then to make it really move.
Guy Maddin's new movie "Keyhole" is a gangster odyssey. Ulysses, the chief of the gang, is awaited by his band in an old creepy house, which is surrounded by the police, attacking from the outside, while screaming ghosts haunt them inside. Their mission is not known to us and they have a boy tied up as a hostage. Nobody seems to know who the boy is, and they just wait for orders.
As in Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses is there on a selfish mission, trying to get back to his wife – not Penelope, though, but Hyacinth (Isabella Rossellini). To achieve his objective he needs to embark on a supernatural voyage, in which he deals with ghosts and mistakes from his past. To help him, he enlists the assistance of a young woman, who seems to have been brought back from the underworld, just like the Greek Odysseus when he goes to Hades in search for Tiresias' advice. The young blind woman (again, like Tiresias, who was blinded and transformed into a woman by the gods) is an oracle, who helps him connect with his past as well as with his progress through the house.
Homer's Odysseus uses his crew to face the unknown forces of nature and the gods, so does Maddin's Ulysses. He's the only one who can face the ghosts because he uses everyone to achieve his objectives. He takes advantage of both their obedience and their ignorance, and by the end, it seems his gang has the same unfortunate fate as Odysseus' crew. Even though the literary reference is a point of interest in "Keyhole", Guy Maddin's all too familiar experimentalism seems a bigger mannerism than usual. The film has a linear narrative structure, making the usual superimpositions look completely out of place. The movie tries to work as some kind of puzzle, and those "experimental" layers – images repeated one over the other – only induce a headache. As with Guy Maddin's other movies, this stylistic device is rather calculated, working more as a visual effect than reemitting something substantial.
