HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
Have been working with hp support for 2 weeks. They have had me download their shabby win 7 software 9 times now. This 7280 was fine and then the scanner quit. Everything else works perfectly. The HP techs are so lame they ask for my observations after the stupid steps they send me in circles and then do not even accknowldge them . The scanner does not have a connection to the computer most of the time. although you hear it run.
Downloading software is not the issue and solves nothing TECHS!
I have had at least 8 techs now and they have resolved nothing. The last tech talked to me like I am a moron having me check my plug and etc.which means they are using very uneducated tech in their so called ADVANCED SUPPORT and have gotten NO WHERE.. I have printed out all thier sensless replies to me and i would like to send them to their heads. I do believe that HP needs to clean house because I have seen and experienced the CUSTOMER NO SUPPORT AND THE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. DELL is no better. i have a messed up brand new computer.
Yeah i am ticked off i paid hundreds of dollars for this printer and if this is how HP is I want no part of them.
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
Try this - The fix for me was here, very first entry - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-So
The key is to delete the HP printers showing in the "Installed Printer Drivers" showing in "Printer Server Properties" as indicated. I am now printing and scanning on a C6180 under Win 7 x64 with the latest HP Full installation.
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
HP hasn't a clue about how to support Win7. after countless hours with support via chat and on the phone including tier 2 and a manager, I have given up. Their last claim was I would receive an email with my solution which of course never came. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HP PRODUCT IN MY LIFE. My All in one J6480 will print but it cannot scan due to errors from 2 different Win7 machines, one x86 the other x64. Both throw the same error but with a different code. Both these mahcines worked fine when running Vista. Clean Win7 installs on both. Existing Vista and XP machines still work fine.
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
Just a thought, but it may not be all HP's Fault. Win 7 is basically a rehash of Vista packaged a bit differently from what I have seen so far. Remember driver support was somwhat lacking when MS first released Vista and It took a while for third party venders to get their drivers up to speed. That's not to say that HP isn't culpable. Their Driver Installation packages tend to be clompy at best. I have just tried to install drivers for a photosmart 309a for a client and everything seemed to go fine until I tried to setup the fax function and got a pop-up asking for the location of the msi installer. And this is after I got the Installation complete screen and after registering the product and the hp solution center pops up for the first time. It's pretty sad when you own installer forgets the folder where it unzipped all the installation files to. Basically what I see is a bad combination--MS Windows 7 and dodgy HP software--easy to screw up and hard to fix. If the HP techs don't have a clue, well MSW 7 isn't exactly an open book. Go Figure. Probably why I still run XP pro and use Epson printers.
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
On a WinXp machine and Vista machine (Sp2) so it had been out awhile, I had to copy the Solution Cneter MSI folder to my desktop on 2 machines because if you messed with Flash, the HP installer tried to launch when starting Solution center and it couldn't find the install files. LOL...SOS
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
I must say I am not inpressed by hp support ..
I bought a pavilion tx2130ea for £600 and as soon as the guaranty is expired , no one to help..
I requested the HP windows 7 upgrade , they cheched my laptopo and said that it is upgradable.
I then purchased the upgrade , and the first step of the install says 'fail' , without any other information .. pathetic.
now trying to get to talk to somone at HP .. never mind .. waste of time .. and money .. If I had know , I wouldn't have bought that stupid machine that keeps crashing every day.
I am running Vista Home Premium that came with the laptop.
I thought may be it a a program i installed since , I then reset the machine to factory setting with the backup cd's i created at first .
Same error.
I despare .. I can tell you that this HP laptop is the first HP machine that I ever bought ( I m a Dell lover ) and it is the LAST ONE .... NEVER AGAIN !!
now if anyone has any idea why the HP WINDOWS 7 Upgrade fails on HP Pavilion tx2130ea , please give a shout !!
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
I feel your pain -- been through similar scenarios with multiple HP All-In-Ones on several PCs & laptops over the years, running XP, Vista, and now 7.
It can be SO frustrating!
I've had my 7410 for several years now and it has moved from 2 XP SP3 platforms (desktop and laptop) to a Vista Ultimate 32 desktop (still works fine), and I actually installed it all on my Win7 (32) laptop 2 months ago.
Even on a HSI connection, I've always been squeamish to download massive software/driver packages for installation, and the HP packages are HUGE. Just seems like some little imperceptible hiccup during download could corrupt some file somewhere.
So, I've always spent the ~$10 or so to order the CD of the current version.
And I try to allow the computer what often seems like a LONG time to properly install everything, shutting down other applications and processes.
Although I had to uninstall/reinstall once on the new laptop after installing a 3rd-party security suite (b/c of an error message with the "solution station" after an originally successful install), the current software/drivers are working fine on my Win 7 (32) laptop, to which it is networked wirelessly. (Thus far, I haven't needed the patch for the missing scans, either. <crosses fingers>)
My new Win 7 (**64***) desktop arrives this week to replace the Vista (32) desktop.
I'm a bit anxious about it, given all the recent "bad press", but I hope that the successful install on the Win 7 (32) laptop bodes well.
Anyway, I know that it totally s*cks to consider it, but you might try uninstalling the HP software 1 more time, & then using a utility such as Revo Uninstaller to fully remove any traces, followed by a clean install of the software from a clean, hard copy CD from HP (as opposed to just burning the downloaded files to a CD).
Just a thought.
Officejet Pro 8600 Premium (USB-main DT & wireless-LT)
Officejet 7410 (USB-old DT & wireless-LT) - still working fine!
Re: HP has a bad name and NO SUPPORT
I have to agree. But since they sell umpteen thousand units daily, we are just in their noise.

Re: iPad 3: Full Res Photos and iPhoto/iMovie to PC
yes - avchd 30f/s
Fortunately it's 30 fps, which means you'll be able to edit it with iMovie without transcoding ("only" remuxing is needed).
What do you mean only remuxing is needed? Did you mean remixing? I still don't know what you mean regardless of if that was a typo.
I was going to use 60fps...but it seems that is more restrictive when using/saving to DVD...so I went with the 30fps. It still looks great on the HD TV.
Thanks for checking on the photos/iphoto!

Zhi-Jie Yan, Yao Qian, and Frank K. Soong
14 March 2010
This paper presents a Rich-context Unit Selection (RUS) approach to high quality speech synthesis. Based upon our previous work on rich context modeling, we use the corresponding parametric HMMs to represent waveform units and form a "sausage-like" lattice. A prune-and-search procedure is proposed, in which Kullback-Leibler divergence is adopted to select potential candidate units, and normalized crosscorrelation is used as the final objective measure to search for the optimal unit path. The maximum cross-correlation criterion provides the optimal concatenation between successive units, in terms of spectral similarity, phase continuity and best connecting timing instants. Subjectively, both preference and MOS tests were conducted to compare RUS with our current Weight-table based Unit Selection (WUS) synthesis. Experimental results show that the voice quality of synthesized speech is significantly improved by RUS over the conventional WUS.

Yellowstone is located at the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research)-Wyoming Supercomputing Center. The center, which was dedicated in October 2012, will offer researchers the opportunity to develop, access and share complex models and data at incredibly powerful speeds. Yellowstone has the ability to work at 1.5 petaflops--equal to 1.5 quadrillion (a million billion) mathematical operations per second. Its speed is comparable to 7 billion people (the world's population) each simultaneously conducting 200,000 calculations a second.

High-density housing draws concerns in Valley Stream
(Page 2 of 2)
Fare said projects like Hawthorne Court and Sun Valley were approved by the village board for many reasons. They are designed to attract young residents to the community who would live near Rockaway Avenue in hopes of revitalizing the ailing business district. Additionally, it would bring new taxpayers to Valley Stream to share the tax burden with existing residents.
Village Trustee Vincent Grasso pointed out that taxes naturally go up as schools and government need to cover rising costs. But those increases for individual property owners can be offset, he explained, when new people are brought into the tax base.
Sun Valley, which is currently under construction, will have one floor of retail and four floors of apartments when finished. Village officials say this development is designed to attract young professionals who want to live near stores and mass transit and likely won't have children. However, they said they do not want to create a community that discourages families from moving in just because of the possible impact on the schools.
David Sabatino, president of Envision Valley Stream and owner of Sip This coffee shop on Rockaway Avenue, said he welcomes the addition of these higher density housing units near the business district. He noted that having concentrations of people surrounding businesses is a proven recipe for success.

Median home price tumbles to 6½-year low
Foreclosures drive steady rise in sales across the county
San Diego's median home price fell sharply again last month to $305,000, and foreclosures outnumbered nondistressed home sales for the first time, MDA DataQuick reported yesterday.
A 5.7 percent drop in the median price from October brought prices to their lowest level since April 2002. Since the peak of $517,500 in November 2005, the median has dropped 41.1 percent.
Of the 2,411 resales that closed escrow, 52.1 percent had gone through foreclosure in the previous 12 months. Overall sales were down 25.7 percent from October, the highest October-November drop in 20 years of DataQuick monitoring.
DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage said the monthly decline was accentuated because there were only 17 business days in the month, compared with the usual 19, while October counted 22 such days.
"It was not a blockbuster November, if you adjust for the unusually shortened month in which deals could close," LePage said. "All things considered – some of the worst financial news in general – it wasn't that bad."
Besides resales, there were 262 newly built homes or condominium conversions that sold in November, bringing the total for the month to 2,673, 11.4 percent higher than in November 2007. Sales have been rising on a year-over-year basis since July, after falling for 40 consecutive months.
The major factor behind the decline in prices continued to be the prevalence of low-priced foreclosures, which are driving down the overall median – the midway point of all sales, with half above and half below.
Paul Habibi, a lecturer at UCLA, said he expects San Diego prices to continue falling as foreclosures continue.
"If I had to guess, I would probably predict 5 (percent) to 7 percent before we hit bottom," Habibi said, a decline that would bring the median down to around $275,000.
Habibi said the declining housing market, plagued by owners who can't afford resetting mortgage payments, is now also feeling the effect of the recession because owners have lost their jobs and watched their home equity slide with the general housing value downturn.
"It's really a negative equity problem and decline in the ability to pay that has exacerbated the issue," he said.
Looking to 2009, Habibi predicted that rising unemployment could lead to rising apartment vacancies, as renters double up or move back home with their parents. An increase from 3 percent to 5 percent in vacancy rates can translate into a 15 percent to 20 percent decrease in rents as landlords rush to fill empty apartments to cover costs.
Against these gloomy prospects, Erik Weichelt, incoming president of the San Diego Association of Realtors, reported that agents are keeping busy, as falling prices are translating into greater affordability, particularly for first-time buyers.
"We feel the trend lines improving by the folks we see out there working, in conversations, in caravans, people at open houses," Weichelt said.
Other indicators back up Weichelt's observations. The number of active listings stood yesterday at 16,028, down 4.8 percent from this time last month and off 22.2 percent from mid-December 2007, according to his association.
The days on the market to sell homes dropped to 70 days for attached and 67 days for detached homes, compared with 74 and 79, respectively, in November 2007.
DataQuick's LePage focused on the North County coastal area as a way to analyze the impacts of foreclosure sales on prices. The area as a whole reported the biggest decline in year-over-year median prices for resale houses, down 41.4 percent, plummeting from $656,500 to $385,000 over the 12-month period.
In that time, the sales in foreclosure-ridden Oceanside ZIP codes have risen dramatically, while sales in the other coastal communities have fallen. The non-Oceanside area median has declined 27.4 percent from its peak.

|Market Identification and Sales
Many entrepreneurs, especially technology based entrepreneurs, are accused of being too in love with their technology or concept. They rationalize that if they develop a better mousetrap then the product will sell itself. However, a good technology or product idea is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to establishing and growing a successful business venture. Who will buy the product? How will you reach buyers? How much will they pay?
If you have an idea for a product or service how do you determine whether there is a market for it? How do you develop a marketing strategy? How do you turn your idea and market research into sales? What do you need to do to convince potential investors that there is a market and that your idea is viable? If you don't have a specific product or service idea but you see a potential need, how do you turn the need into a product or service?
This session will discuss these issues and provide guidance on how to approach the marketing section of your business plan.

|You have an idea. You have some feedback from potential customers. How do you shape the idea and the feedback into a Venture? What are the "credibility testers" which you will have to overcome to attract customers, partners, employees and financing sources? A "credibility tester" is something that, if you can overcome it, people will be convinced of your idea/strategy etc. Is the Technology a "credibility" issue and if so can you/should you develop a simple version of the technology and go after a small market segment with something that proves the technology out? Is the Customer Need the "credibility tester" and if so who do you overcome that concern?
Part of this class will be an interactive session with students and others who are in the process of developing a business plan.

|Pitfalls and Plan Execution
|Your Idea is great. You have good feedback from potential customers. You are convinced that your Strategy is correct. So how come you are having trouble raising money or attracting a team or partners?
Over and over again entrepreneurs make the same mistakes. Experienced investors, partners, and employees are alert for the pitfalls. Session 6 will discuss these pitfalls, how to recognize them, what to do about them, and how to present a business plan case which alleviates or anticipates these concerns.
Among the issues we will discuss are:
Legal Issues
Identifying and dealing with legal issues in the Business Plan. Securities laws and the Business Plan - How to avoid Going to Jail without passing Go and without Collecting $200. Intellectual Property Law-Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Tradesecrets. Major hidden tax traps in starting a business - how to avoid generating phantom income and taxes. General questions and answers on legal issues for the entrepreneur - What you always wanted to know about the law but were afraid to ask/pay for.
Understanding Financing Sources
Bootstrapping the early stages. Funding from the 3 F's - Friends, Family and Fools. Angels - who are they and what are they looking for? Private placements. Customer financing. Consulting - getting someone else to pay for the development, provide a beta site and endorse your idea. Venture capital. Bank financing.
You will learn about the institutional constraints and needs of various funding sources. As a result you will be in a better position to determine if, when and how to approach these sources for financing.

text: Home Politics Run, Sarah, Run! Please The ambitious former Alaska governor has hinted that she may be going for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Democrats should be so lucky. By: Deron Snyder Posted: Nov. 7 2010 7:08 PM 0 Getty Images Sarah Palin has indicated that she's open to a presidential bid in 2012. Therefore, President Obama and every one of his supporters should pray nightly that she enters the race and wins the Republican nomination. Although there's a "be careful what you wish for" risk in that scenario, I refuse to believe that most voters in a general election would choose Palin as their commander in chief. They might choose to put her on a Bridge to Anywhere Else, but definitely not the Oval Office. She's easy on the eyes, but not with her finger on the button. She'd be in over her head so deep, she'd need custom-made stilettos to see her way clear. Most of us understand this. According to a recent ABC News-Washington Post poll, only 27 percent of registered voters believe that Palin is qualified to be president. But those aren't the numbers that Palin ponders while enjoying her "Mama Grizzly" role on Fox News and headlining events across the nation. She'd much rather concentrate on the 55 percent of conservative Republicans who say she's qualified. Or the whopping 73 percent of Tea Party supporters who believe she's qualified. Palin's base marvels at her like the crowd in "The Emperor's New Clothes," oblivious to the fact that she's butt-naked. But everyone else sees right through her, folksy charm and all. Change roiled the political landscape Tuesday night, but Palin got mixed grades as a powerbroker. Two of her highest-profile endorsements -- Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Sharron Angle in Nevada -- lost Senate bids that establishment Republican candidates might have won easily. Another pick, Joe Miller, the Republican candidate for Senate in her home state of Alaska, is poised to lose to Lisa Murkowski, who would become the first Senate candidate to win as a write-in since Strom Thurmond did it in 1954. And although Palin had a winning record overall with her candidates on Tuesday's ballot, many of the winners were in noncompetitive races and considered shoo-ins. Republicans must tiptoe on a thin line here, lest they face more wrath and energy from the Tea Party, which has already wreaked enough havoc on party dynamics. Perhaps that's why Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, when asked if Palin is electable, responded, "Sure. Why not?" On NBC's Today Show, South Carolina Gov.-elect Nikki Haley said she was grateful for Palin's endorsement but also said, "It's definitely too early" to reciprocate. Palin's fellow Fox News contributor, Republican strategist Karl Rove, has tried to have it both ways, saying on Face the Nation that Palin is "formidable," but telling The Daily Telegraph that Palin lacks the "gravitas" to be president. But in some races during primary season, Palin and her Tea Partiers couldn't care less about a candidate's chances in the general election. Winning primaries against establishment picks was victory in itself, and that same reasoning could lead to a Palin presidential candidacy if she's dissatisfied with the field. She told Entertainment Tonight, "If there's nobody else to do it, then of course I would believe that we should [run]." When Fox News' Chris Wallace said Palin had too much going for her -- fortune, fame and freedom -- to run for president, she said she wasn't that selfish: "If the country needed me -- and I'm not saying that the country does and that the country would ever necessarily want to choose me over anyone else -- but I would be willing to make the sacrifices if need be for America." Yes, Sarah. We need you. Please make the sacrifice. Do it for America. Deron Snyder is a regular contributor to The Root. He can be reached at email@example.com. Like The Root on Facebook.

Weber, Marcel (2005) Indeterminism in Neurobiology. [Preprint]
This is the latest version of this item.
|Microsoft Word (.doc)
Download (76Kb)
I examine different arguments that could be used to establish indeterminism of neurological processes. Even though scenarios where single events at the molecular level make the difference in the outcome of such processes are realistic, this falls short of establishing indeterminism, because it is not clear that these molecular events are subject to quantum mechanical uncertainty. Furthermore, attempts to argue for indeterminism autonomously (i.e., independently of quantum mechanics) fail, because both deterministic and indeterministic models can account for the empirically observed behavior of ion channels.

Velocity Ultra Speeding To PlayStation Vita
By Ryan Winslett 3 years ago comments
After winning over the hearts of gamers and critics alike, the award-winning PlayStation Mini, Velocity, is finally making its way to the PlayStation Vita. Not just a simple port, however, Velocity Ultra will feature a slick graphical overhaul and all new features unique to the system.
The original Velocity is a vertically scrolling shooter, harkening back to arcade games of old. Developer FuturLab decided to shake up the formula, though, adding a variety of mission types, a wicked-cool teleporting system and all of the bullet hell shooting you could hope for. The result was a retro-themed shooter that not only paid homage to the genre greats, but managed to stand toe-to-toe with those titles as well. It was an unexpected gem of a Mini and, in a few months, it should be better than ever when Velocity Ultra launches on the Vita.
FuturLab Managing Director James Marsden dropped by the PlayStation Blog to talk about the games development, highlighting the changes series fans can expect. For starters, Velocity Ultra is getting a complete graphical overhaul. Formerly sporting a pixellated vibe, everything will look glossy and smooth now as the cut scenes and play field turn to a more cartoon aesthetic. There are even some pretty spiffy before and after photos within the blog post.
While the core gameplay should remain the same, this latest version of Velocity will also add visual effects, a native resolution, Trophies, online leaderboards, etc.
You can think of Velocity Ultra as the directors cut; everything we would have done the first time around if wed had the budget, said Marsden. Our goal now is to create a perfectly formed piece of interactive art that will do your shiny PS Vita justice.
While no release date has been pinned down yet, Marsden said the studio is on schedule to hit Sony for certification in April. As a result, hes hopeful for a May launch.
For more details on Velocity Ultra, visit the games official website. You can also participate in a poll to help shape the games impending sequel.

Multi-family Recycling
City Council's goal following the startup of the curbside recycling program for single family homes was to initiate an on-site opportunity for multi-family complexes. It is listed as a Top Priority in Council's 2010-2011 Strategic Plan.
City Council approved an ordinance on February 28, 2011 requiring all multi-family complexes of more than seven units on a single parcel to provide recycling for their residents. The effective date of the ordinance is August 28, 2011.
Complex owners and/or managers are to contract with a commercial recycling hauler for weekly pickup and set aside an area of containers on the complex property. Residents will be notified that the program is in place and what can and cannot be recycled. Owners and/or managers are to provide a bi-annual report to the City's Environmental Services Department of the amount of recyclables collected. This is a state requirement.
The State of North Carolina prohibits the disposal of plastic bottles, aluminum cans and other items in the landfill. Recycling not only reduces the cost of making new products, conserves water, natural resources and reduces air pollution, it also provides a legal method of disposing of plastic bottles and aluminum cans.

7. R.I.P.D. (Universal) NEW - Cinemascore: C+; Criticwire: C-; Metacritic score: 26
$12,800,000 in 2,852 theaters; PSA: $4,475; Cumulative: $12,800,000
There's no sugarcoating this one. This is the weakest opening for an expensive (at least $135 million) production of the summer, far below earlier failures "After Earth," "White House Down," "The Lone Ranger" and others, with little likelihood of stabilization or international rescue.
Universal has otherwise had a great year, from "Mama" through "Despicable Me 2." This long-gestating project (based on a Dark Horse comic, and intended to launch a franchise a la "Ghost Busters" and "Men in Black") took chances with its casting -- Jeff Bridges, after a career relaunch that included an Oscar and "True Grit," and Ryan Reynolds, who has yet to prove his marquee value without a bigger co-star ("Green Lantern" also flopped).
Ironically, director Robert Schwentke was promoted to this level of project after his success with the first "Red," whose sequel coincidentally also opened this week. Producer Neil Moritz was behind the second biggest film of the year "Fast & Furious 6," but also was behind recent flops "Jack the Giant Slayer" and "Total Recall."
What comes next: R.I.P. indeed.
8. The Heat (20th Century-Fox) Week; Last weekend: #4
$9,325,000 (-33%) in 2,689 theaters (-439); PSA: $3,468; Cumulative: $129,292,000
Another modest drop for this hit comedy, which has reached a level that makes Melissa McCarthy the star of the two biggest comedies of the year domestically (along with "Identity Thief.")
What comes next: This hasn't had the word of mouth that "The Bridesmaids" did, but looks like its ultimate domestic gross will be close.
9. World War Z (Paramount) Week 5; Last weekend: #7
$5,200,000 (-44%) in 2,066 theaters (-937); PSA: $2,517; Cumulative: $186,941,000
Approaching $500 million worldwide, this is one expensive action film that will be seen as a success. The elements that pushed it ahead of some of the others - its release date ahead of "Pacific Rim," Brad Pitt's ongoing appeal, the zombie element - weren't as obvious prior to the opening, when this was considered one of the summer's bigger risks.
What comes next: The success here will likely weigh as heavily for helping similar films get greenlit as studios consider reward/risk ratios in light of this summer's very uneven results.
10. Monsters University (Buena Vista) Week 6; Last weekend: #5
$5,000,000 (-53%) in 2,186 theaters (-956); PSA: $2,290; Cumulative: $249,000,000
This wasn't helped by "Turbo" opening on top of "Despicable Me 3," but with a worldwide total of $533 million (with more to come) it has performed up to what a decent Pixar release should do.
What comes next: That this will not do as well as "DM 3" is something for Pixar to ponder going forward -- did they wait too long for the sequel at a time when other animation studios are churning them out at a much faster pace?

They hum. They hiss.
They sing "bee-bee-bee" and "bay-bay-bay" up and down the musical scale, warming up their vocal chords for a three-hour rehearsal.
And when director Bonnie Jeanne Massey's new cellphone rings — she's not sure how to silence it — she buries it deep in her purse and tosses it out of the way.
Nothing is to interfere with this weekly rehearsal of the Seattle Shores Chorus, a female vocal group that dates to the early 1950s — one that still has a couple of members from the early days, and would love to welcome new voices.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
"Why do I do it? Because it's fun," said Opal Hicks, of Seattle's Ravenna area, who started singing with the group when Harry Truman was president, the U.S. had 48 states, and a first-class stamp cost three cents.
Hicks was front and center at the recent rehearsal as chorus members placed hands on their hearts in "This is My Country," mimicked animal noises in "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," and rocked with the rhythm of Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations."
"Smile and sing it like you mean it," director Massey reminded the 16 singers, later telling a reporter: "You never have a perfect performance. There's always something you can improve on."
On Saturday night, the women — ranging in age from 13 to nearly 90 — will be on the bill at "Groovy," an a cappella celebration of hits from the 1960s and 1970s. The event, open to the public at the Shorecrest Performing Arts Centers, is hosted by an all-male group, the Seattle SeaChordsmen.
Performers will wear tie-dyed outfits, and invite audience members to also don 1960s gear.
The women's chorus also has been polishing numbers for visits to senior centers and retirement homes — they do about two a month and are booked into 2014. And they're gearing up for a September benefit for Operation Smile, which surgically repairs facial deformities in children around the globe.
This style of vocal harmony, performed without instrumental accompaniment, is widely known as barbershop music, and women's groups have an organization of their own — Sweet Adelines International, founded in Tulsa, Okla., in 1945.
Part of the fun, the singers say, is expanding their repertoire beyond traditional barbershop fare: Pop tunes. Show tunes. Patriotic tunes. Old standards and recent hits — as long as it can be arranged for four-part harmony.
The original Seattle Chapter of Sweet Adelines, first in the Northwest, was founded in 1950, chartered in 1953, and celebrated its 60th anniversary last month.
Energy, camaraderie
Hicks, a former piano teacher and a longtime secretary at the University of Washington, was a newlywed when her husband took her to a barbershop concert at downtown Seattle's Metropolitan Theatre.
During intermission, a woman came on stage and said a women's vocal group was being formed, giving a phone number that recruits could call.
"My husband said, 'You should do that.' It was more his idea than mine," she said.
She was quickly hooked by the energy and camaraderie, and she was a natural for the group, having sung in church and school choirs, and studied music in college.
Her husband, Jack Hicks, became the group's first director, and later, Opal Hicks served as director for six years in the 1960s.
As the only remaining original member of the group, Hicks is the longest-active member of a Sweet Adelines chorus in the Northwest. She'd rather not discuss her current age, but she's willing to say she was 27 when she joined the group in 1951 — and you can do the math if you feel the need.
Another chorus member with more than a half-century of experience is Lois Anderson of Bothell, who'll turn 90 next month. In 1961, she was a charter member of a second local Sweet Adelines group, the North Shore Chorus, based in Lake City.
"At the time I joined I had four small children and was working (as an accountant)," Anderson said. "This was kind of a relief. … It perked me up."
In 1980, the two groups merged, becoming the Seattle Shores Chorus.
Youngest, not newest
The chorus' youngest member — by more than two decades — is Ashley Fowler, 13, whose grandmother sang with the group until a few years ago.
She dreams of winning a crown as a "queen of harmony," the distinction given to winners of Sweet Adelines quartet championships. "I've always been singing, humming, tapping my foot to the music."
At rehearsals, it may seem Ashley has a roomful of grandmothers, but she finds a comfortable sisterhood there. "I feel like I fit in. It's a good group."
She points out that although she's the youngest member, she's not the newest, and she enjoys making new members feel at home.
Ashley is a lead in the chorus, meaning she's one of the voices typically singing the melody.
Other parts of the vocal array are the tenors, hitting the high notes; the bass voices, anchoring the low notes; and baritones, singing notes that complete the chords, usually below the lead.
A full, rich harmony depends on each section hitting its notes clearly and precisely, a fact that singers say provides both the challenge and satisfaction of barbershop singing.
Keeping tradition alive
As much as the chorus honors its history, members say keeping the tradition alive will depend on adding new faces and new energy.
From a high of more than 70 members in the 1980s, the Seattle Shores Chorus roster now lists 21 names.
Newcomers don't need a background in music, said Linea Croly, assistant director of the Seattle Shores Chorus. "We'd just as soon that they just want to experience the joy of singing," she said. "And we'll take it from there."
A drop-in participation is not unique to Seattle.
Ann-Marie Dowling, membership manager for Sweet Adelines International, said overall membership peaked in 1983 at nearly 34,000, and now stands at about 23,000.
"As time moves on, it seems every generation just gets busier and busier, and this can be quite a time commitment," she said.
Men's groups have seen a similar decrease, with membership down about a third from a 1980s peak of 36,000, said Brian Lynch, spokesman for the Nashville-based Barbershop Harmony Society.
One hopeful note, Lynch said, is a recent increase in members in their late teens.
"People who join tend to stay," said Lynch. "We feel if we can keep someone for three years we can keep them for life."

Chaz Bono Shows Off 60 Lb. Weight Loss
April 23, 2013 03:00 PM by Donna W. Martin
Earlier this year, we reported that Dancing With The Stars alum, Chaz Bono, 44, had lost more than 40 pounds. But he didn't stop there! His weight loss total has continued to climb and now he's down a whopping 60 LB's. How did he do it? Keep reading to find out!
Losing weight is tough and can be emotionally and physically draining but last November, Chaz decided it was time to make the commitment and improve not only his health but his appearance as well. He appeared on The Doctors where he opened up about his desire to lose some of his excess weight, at least 50 pounds.
Chaz didn't waste any time and got busy trying to reach his goal. And by February of this year, on The Doctors follow up show, he had done just that, dropping an impressive 43 pounds. He didn't quite reach the 50-pound mark but he didn't miss it by much either. He even upped his total weight loss goal to 80 pounds.
So how has he been doing? According to People, Chaz has continued to stay committed to losing weight and since February, has shed even more pounds giving him a whopping total of 60 LB's lost. So how did he do it?
Chaz remembers his time on Dancing With The Stars and says he still enjoys dance. In fact, dance is his exercise of choice, and he still takes classes. But it's taken more than dancing for Chaz to shed the pounds. He also had to change the way he eats.
But Chaz isn't a big fan of diets and said, "Diets don't work, you have to change what you eat." These days, "I really avoid grains and starches, so meats and vegetables and fruits are my diet," he said. "I make them all different ways to keep it interesting."
What do you think of Chaz's 60 lb. weight loss? Sound off in the comments section and let us know.

Overcoming jaundice, nipple confusion and other interruptions in early breastfeeding relationships
If you live in the Western world, you've no doubt heard the catch phrases "Babies were born to be breastfed" and "Breast is Best." Many women start out with the best of intentions for breastfeeding their new bundles of joy, but sometimes circumstances beyond their control can cause interruptions in early breastfeeding relationships. Talk of jaundice, biliruben levels and supplementing with formula are not things many parents are prepared to be confronted with just days after their child's birth. So what should you do if you find yourself suddenly dealing with the unexpected? After experiencing a labor and birth with my daughter that was unlikeRead More →

Suitcases and PillowcasesBeijing, Spring 2011
Never go on a trip without making your bed. This is one of the few pieces of my parents' advice that became ingrained in my habits almost immediately after it was given – no frustrating repetitions required. Any other day, my room has what I fancy to be a "lived-in look." In other words, clothes lie dejectedly where I cast them off; my bedspread remains hopelessly askew, and any space on my dresser is filled with little odds and ends that I may or may not need later. But when it comes to leaving home for an extended period, my brother and I have been trained in the art of the immaculate. Disney World, Mississippi, New York, Grandma's house, science camp, ranch camp – before embarking on any journey, I leave my room, for once, looking like an ad in a magazine. So when, amidst the early morning chaos of my Beijing departure day (Did you find your glasses case? Did you try on your boot warmers? Is the suitcase under 70 lbs.? Do you know how long it takes to ship a package from Ohio to Beijing?), I find it absolutely rational to be in my room silently tucking my sheets and arranging my pillows with the speed and dexterity of a conditioned Marine soldier. Meanwhile, I'm thinking to myself that there is something to be said for a well-made bed. This morning I woke up at 4:27 (twenty-seven minutes after my alarm setting), and I took great delight in the soft flannel sheets that embraced me in my sleep. Perhaps, it was the two hours of rest that I had stored up, but I could have sworn that my bed wanted to keep me from getting on that plane. A recurring thought crept into my head – "You can still put a stop to this. You should just stay here anyway…It's so much easier." It was this thought – not the fact that I was almost a half-hour behind schedule – that made me spring out of bed because I knew this was no premonition, but a resurgence of the cold feet syndrome I had the day before. It seems odd that I could look forward to something since high school, but, when January 14 becomes tomorrow morning, I get a feeling akin to stage fright: nausea, butterflies, anxiety, all that jazz. Suddenly, "Oh, yeah! I'm goin to China!" becomes "Holy ####, I'm going to CHINA!" and I demand of myself what in God's name was I thinking? Suddenly, I'm considering how I just seemed to be getting the whole college thing down, how I left behind so much unfinished business, and how the new friendships I have come to value might not be waiting for me when I come home. But at 4:27 in the AM, I decide to jump out of those comfortable sheets and make my bed the way I was taught. Of course, I can't have the thought of unfluffed pillows, untucked corners, and unsmoothed blankets distract me while I'm on the other side of the globe. Better to give things a little finality, I figure. Now, I'm sitting here at Gate 123, and the only thing I can think of is how awesome the Great Wall is going to look with a light blanket of snow to cover it. And even when I chance to think of all the all the obligations on the home soil I have to manage and how exactly I'm going to manage them with a 12-hour time difference, I still take comfort, and even a little pride, in the fact that my homecoming ceremony will include straightened fluffed pillows, nicely pressed sheets, and a stuffed tiger who eagerly awaits my stories from afar.

I also want to travel abroad to China! This is a recent ambition of mine, so i still havent taken one class of Manderin. Finding a class in this particular language is extremly scarce where I live so I have to wait until this Fall to start. I was wondering how the process of learning Chinese in school has been going for you? If you have any advise for a beginner? Good luck in your adventure!

I altered the graphics code in the Irem drivers to boost the speed, so this would probably account for any graphics problems with those games. I've noticed quite a few issues this has caused so I'll likely use the unaltered FBA driver in the next build even though it's a lot slower.
found this issue a few weeks ago.
ninja spirit has graphic issue's. try playing and you'll see on the first level. i know it's irem game but thought i'd point it out.
could it be possible to have both drivers with an option to choose the driver to use when the game loads??
some irem may run better on the altered whiles others may run fine on on the un-altered?

It's a nice idea and it's something I'd consider if it was the difference between slow or full speed. More likely I would just use two versions of the driver. But at the moment, even with the graphics code changes, none of the games run full speed so until that changes I'll probably just stick to the stock FBA driver.

Corn wine
Last updated by chinatravel at 2015/11/19
Corn wine, which has a long history of hundreds of years, has to be brewed through an old and complex set of procedures according to a special secret recipe handed down from ancestors: panning, steaming, fermenting and finally distilling. The raw materials for the wine come from a kind of high-quality corn called Small Golden Corn which is a local speciality, and the water for the wine contains many kinds of minerals. Such advantaged natural conditions make the wine pure and mellow, and you will not get drunk even if you have drunk too much.

Long before Steven Spielberg announced he was making a movie about Abraham Lincoln, my wife/writing partner, Nina Davidovich, and I had embarked on our own Lincoln film. Writing a Lincoln script is not a casual undertaking: he is the second-most-written-about human being, and we dug as deeply as we could into that literature. After nearly two years of solid work, we had a polished screenplay and our agent set a date for submission to the studios. There hadn't been a feature film about Lincoln in a long time, and the tracking boards lit up. We prayed for that holy grail of the unproduced screenwriter: a spec sale.
Two days before the submission date, we received a late night call from Nina's sister in Paris, where the news had just broken: "Steven Spielberg is making a Lincoln movie." He'd bought a book by well-known historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Tom Hanks was attached to play the 16th President. Oscars were expected. Nina freaked out. I said, somehow this is for the best. We're obviously on the right track - our challenging historical drama just became a commercial idea. Unfortunately, Nina's reaction was more realistic. It wasn't that our script wouldn't sell - no one would even read it. We were lepers.
Fine, I said. I didn't come to L.A. to sell screenplays. I have a directing MFA from UCLA, I made successful short films, and my plan was always to direct features. The Lincoln debacle simply put me back on track. After a few rounds of setting up an indie project and watching it evaporate, we finally went all the way: our irreverent but inspiring Passover comedy, "When Do We Eat?" was released by ThinkFilm and became a cult hit. For many people, it has become a holiday tradition. As filmmakers, we learned a ton by seeing the process through from concept to completion.
For a follow-up film, we tried to mount a bigger production, and met with the usual obstacles. Meanwhile, time passed and Mr. Spielberg had not made his Lincoln movie. It was frustrating because we're passionate about Abraham Lincoln. If we couldn't see our own Lincoln film, at least we could see his, and after a few years, the way would open again for ours. No one knew, however, when Mr. Spielberg would make his movie, and therefore no one would help us make ours. Argh!
Fine, I said. I'm an independent filmmaker; I'm going to find a way to make a Lincoln movie independently. My friends said, "Ridiculous - you can't mount a period drama on an indie budget. Here, look at this project about a regular guy who falls in love with porn star, or this one about a 20-something slacker battling angst…" No. We were determined to make a movie about Abraham Lincoln. It was personal. Nina and I felt we owed it to Mr. Lincoln himself to tell his story. So we stepped up to the plate again.
The first thing we did was take a closer look at our script. Having grown as writers, we realized we could do better. The challenge in tackling a subject as large as Lincoln is to limit the information. Our original device was Lincoln's hat - it was in every scene, even if he wasn't. It was a good visual device, but not an emotional point of view.
When we renewed our research with an eye on character, one man leapt off the page: Ward Hill Lamon, the only friend Lincoln brought to Washington from Illinois - position unspecified - because Lincoln liked having him around. Lamon was funny, played banjo, and as a native Virginian, he gave Lincoln insight into the Southern mind. He was also handy with a gun, and when the first assassination attempt occurred on the way to Washington in 1861, Lamon appointed himself the President's bodyguard. The Secret Service did not yet exist, and Lincoln habitually refused any other sort of protection, leaving only Lamon to protect him from the repeated attempts on his life over the next four years.
From this unique perspective Lamon observed Lincoln's daily life, the unrelenting pressure, and the crippling weight of the Civil War's darkest hours. Lamon was not present at Ford's theater on that fateful night in 1865 because Lincoln sent him away on a mission, yet it is Lamon who redefines that infamous tragedy in a surprising and uplifting way.
In our renewed research I also discovered a trove of Civil War images in the Library of Congress that have been digitized at extremely high resolution. They're part of our national heritage, and anyone can download them. I often imagined scenes from Saving Lincoln occurring within those locations, and then one day I had the "Aha!" moment. Watch the exclusive scene on page two...

Gentlemen and Ladies, This thread is very similar to my other thread of the very similar name in that this is a contest / request / commissioned job all in one.
I'm not sure exactly what the prize will be for this one. It will at least be a copy of the finished product(s) and some residual income for each of the items that the winner of this thread submits that I use in my line of products. You will also receive credit, by name, in the product(s) in which the pictures appear. (If none of that made sense, please look at the thread of the same name minus the "Part 2".)
What I am requesting now is the following:
A series of five, black and white line drawings. Each drawing should be no more than 450x450 pixels. The drawings should be of the following objects:
A sword - not vertical but slanted somewhere between 30 and 45 degrees.
A rampart - a keep or stone wall used for defense.
A herald - a symbol of a ruler.
A tome - a heavy book used by mages to cast spells.
A throne - a symbol of an emperor, perhaps a man sitting on a great chair.
The drawings should be simple and stylized as if they were created in a fantasy world. In my head, they have a similar feel to drawings from midieval (spelled wrong - I know) Europe. By that, I mean almost crudely drawn, 2D, not too much detail. They should all be in the same style, i.e. look as if they were drawn (carved, forged) by the same person at the same time. They might even (haven't decided yet) appear on the face of coins.
The submissions must be originals and cannot be from any copywrited source as I will be using them in a commercial project. They will be used as filler art in my next published product, but they will be used extensively and will be highlighted as very significant in one portion of the text.
I intend to choose the winner(s) on or about June 3rd. Not much time, I know, but for some of the artists around here, an eternity.
I know that this isn't really a cartography request, but this community is where I hang out, and if you can't do it, it's not worth asking elsewhere about.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Ha - good question. A heraldic charge, actually.

Minutes: October 6, 2006
LSA Minutes from Dean's Meeting
The meeting was held in the Center for British and Irish Studies and lasted almost 2 hours. It was attended by approximately 30 staff members.
The Library Staff Association began the meeting as an open forum for staff to ask Dean Williams questions. We had prepared questions in advance in case there were no on the spot questions. However, staff attending the meeting had questions, and the prepared questions were given to the Dean for a written response.
The Dean opened the meeting by asking why LSA and staff had to pay for food for the meeting. He was unhappy with this and said the library should be paying for this. LSA responded that it had tried get funding for the refreshments, but were told the rules had changed and it may not be possible. The Dean said he would look into finding a solution to this so LSA and staff do not have to pay for refreshments at these meetings.
Staff at the meeting were concerned about the fact that they were being encouraged to accept that the future is unknown and to be prepared to deal with any coming changes. Staff want a better sense of the future, job status, and job descriptions. They would also like a timeline for upcoming changes and for there to be more open communication.
This became the impetus for a discussion regarding the widespread staff belief that intra-Libraries communication has become worse. This has been seen between faculty and staff, within departments and between departments. Some staff feel that the faculty are making more of the decisions and changes and the staff are told to make it happen. Staff feel that they need to be a bigger part of the decision making process; they want to give input and know when the change is coming. There was a general feeling that staff are presented with changes and projects without very much notice. Also, some staff feel like they are not encouraged to ask about upcoming changes and projects.
Some staff feel that faculty are afraid to include them in the decision-making process because of the misconception that staff are resistant to change. The faculty therefore make the decisions and just expect staff to adapt and move on. At the meeting, people said that they are not resistant to change; many have extensive experience and want to bring ideas to the table. The Dean asked if departments still have staff meetings and was told they do happen in some departments but that the communication is poor (in some departments). Many meetings have are held more for reporting purposes rather than for discussion and communication. Also, some departments don't allow for agenda items to be easily added to a meeting; this makes staff feel like they can't bring up issues or topics.
The Dean asked what solutions could take place. The Dean will go to Cabinet and the Library Council to discuss the growing divide between faculty and staff. There needs to be greater communication between all employees, not only about changes and projects, but also about the growing divide. The Dean suggested that LSA get reports from the University Staff Council to gauge staff feeling across campus. Also, staff meetings in departments need to be altered so that they are venues for open discussion instead just forums for reporting to staff.
Another topic raised by staff was the concern that when staff members retire or leave, they either are not replaced or the replacement process takes a long time. The Dean explained that it does take a long time to replace some staff due to rising salary rates. The salary of the new position must meet market rates and it can take a long time to find the money for that. When the Libraries do not receive funding increases from the campus or the state, Administrative Services to get creative in order to fund the position. Also, the Dean mentioned that no new staff or faculty lines have been funded in over a decade. All reallocations and other pay increases have to be funded within the existing budget allocations. As an example, three vacant faculty positions were left unfilled in order to pay for the BCR inventory. Now, there is only enough funding in these three faculty lines to pay for two new faculty.
Concerns were also brought up regarding the upcoming R2 Consultants visit. Staff want to know what questions they are going to be asked. Some staff feel they cannot question why R2 is coming. The Dean said he would ask the R2 working group what R2 will be asking staff and that he will be sure that all employees are notified about these questions.
Finally, the Dean was asked how he likes the new CU Chancellor, Bud Peterson. The Dean said he had met with him twice and believes that you get what you see. He is very pleased with him so far and is happy that the Chancellor has given attention to the Libraries. It is significant that the Chancellor has visited the Libraries twice since he has informed other departments on campus that he is not yet ready to visit them.
After the question/discussion session with the Dean, LSA took a few minutes to tell new staff about itself and also about the upcoming elections. A member of the Library Advisory Board described what that committee does and the Campbell Award Committee was also explained. Each of these committees has 2 staff positions open. LSA itself has up to 4 positions open. LSA will be sending out election notices, nominations and ballots in the next few weeks. Elections will take place in mid-November.
Minutes reported by Brittany Reed, LSA representative

Fall 2006
Human Development and Public Health: A Lifecourse Approach
Department of Society, Human Development and Health and the Department of Nutrition
Instructor TBA, Dr. L. Berkman, Dr. M. McCormick
2.5 credits
Lectures, seminars. Two 2-hour sessions each week.
Tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption were the leading causes of death in the U.S. in 2000. Worldwide, behavioral and psychiatric disorders are supplanting traditional physical conditions as the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Traditional public health theory, research and practice may require a new "lifespan" orientation to address both these behavioral morbidities and many physical disorders which often have underpinnings in biological and social influences operating early and throughout the lifecourse. For instance: 1) there is growing evidence that several adult chronic diseases may result from nutritional intake and growth during pregnancy and infancy; and 2) similarly, that many adult health behaviors also have early developmental origins. This course will review such lifecourse approaches as applied to public health. The first sessions will highlight the need for a developmental / lifespan approach to contemporary public health problems, including new evidence from the human genome project and early environmental influences on differential gene expression. The remaining sessions will cover three phases of human development (childhood, adolescence and adulthood), will describe major health risks and disorders arising during each phase, and review the etiology and prevention of these conditions by considering: a) how these conditions relate to co-occurring physical, cognitive and social developmental transitions at these ages; and b) may result from the accumulation of risk and protective influences from earlier life stages. New research directions and public health practice strategies deriving from this approach will be highlighted.
