Best Web Based CRM & Contact Management Solutions for Small Businesses
Don't read any further if you access the internet via a slow dial-up connection, but if you are permanently online with a decent bandwidth, web based CRM software is an exciting option, and is the fastest growing area of CRM Software.
Web based CRM, sometimes referred to as Hosted CRM, OnDemand CRM, Online CRM, Browser Based CRM and now SaaS (Software as a Service) software solutions, is where the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is hosted by an Application Service Provider (ASP), typically the vendor of the software.
These web based CRM applications are delivered as services over the Internet, rather than on your local network like conventional CRM software. From Google Calendar to HotMail to Twitter, hosted applications are fast becoming the order of the day.
Why Choose An Online CRM Solution?
- Often a lower cost of entry and lower total cost of ownership.
- Rapid implementation, although this can vary, depending on the vendor.
- Rapid transmission of information across organizational lines and locations.
- Accessibility – you can access web based CRM from anywhere provided you have Internet access.
- Hosted CRM systems don't require the deployment of backend systems.
- No costly hardware server infrastructure necessary.
- Automatic upgrades to your CRM solution.
Organizations that use web based CRM systems don't own the CRM software. Instead you subscribe to the CRM services by paying a monthly or annual subscription "service based" or "pay-as-you-go" fee that varies from vendor to vendor.
Are Web Based CRM solutions suitable for your small business?
This of course depends on the specific CRM needs of your particular organization. Like its more conventional cousins, hosted CRM products are now starting to cater for different requirements in varying degrees. Rather than trying to be one size fits all, some second generation hosted CRM systems are offer customized solutions for different industries.
Online small business CRM solutions are worthwhile considering, particularly if you are on-the-move and have a remote CRM requirement, with a widely dispersed or work-from-home workforce with access to adequate bandwidth.
The steady rise in popularity of web based CRM is also indicative of increased acceptance of having your data entrusted to some other company off-site.

You don't understand the dynamics of this organization. Nobody wants to do real work, even if they're paid for it. ;)
More seriously, does anyone here want to do the actual work of selling the T-shirts?
Also, I'm located in Denmark. It really isn't worthwhile to attempt shipping T-shirts over to the US, what with customs and all.

Lightning center Jeff Halpern knows what a torn anterior cruciate ligament feels like. He suffered a complete tear of his left ACL in 2002, requiring surgery that cost him half a season. That's why the 32-year-old was apparently so concerned when he was helped off the ice with an injured right knee in Team USA's 5-4 loss to Canada on Tuesday in the IIHF World Championships at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
He was more right than he knew, and it could cost him at least the first month of the 2008-09 NHL season. Halpern was diagnosed by Capitals team physician Benjamin Shaffer on Wednesday with a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, and at least partially torn medial collateral ligament and a small tear to the lateral meniscus. According to a team release, Shaffer and the Lightning medical staff have recommended that Halpern wait 4-6 weeks for trauma from the MCL injury to settle before surgically reconstructing the ACL. Rehabilitation is expected to take 5-6 months, which would eliminate his preseason and the first month of the regular season.
Agent Mike Liut said Halpern was "pretty low, but he's been down this road before. He knows what he has to do." That includes, he said, hopefully accelerating the timetable for surgery if the knee cooperates. Liut considers Shaffer's timetable "outer markers" for recovery.
Shaffer performed the surgery on Halpern's left knee when he was member of that team. Halpern played 48 games in 2001-02, the season in which he was injured, but returned for a full season the next year.
"It's a tough one, but Jeff will work hard and rehab this," Liut said. "The unfortunate thing is he played so well for Tampa. You try to play these international competitions, and they're a lot of fun, and the U.S. had a great team, but something like this can happen."
Halpern came to the Lightning as an extra piece in the trade deadline deal that sent Brad Richards to the Stars, but he soon became a most valuable addition. He helped rejuvenate the second line, scoring 10 goals (18 points) in 19 games, and linemate Michel Ouellet had nine in the same span.
Coach John Tortorella, who is also guiding Team USA, had extolled Halpern's attributes before he arrived in Tampa, saying he was the team's best offensive and defensive center much of the time. The coach saw an expanded role for Halpern in 2008-09, saying he "couldn't be more excited about the prospect of where's he going to fit in our lineup next year."


text: Recently I had a training session with someone who was filling in for my usual trainer. I found my session with this guy to be so much more fulfilling. He pushed me a lot harder than my usual trainer and really seemed to listen to me a whole lot more and got me really pumped to push myself harder. The problem is I have been training with my current trainer for awhile now. Part of the issue here is that he is good friends with my husband, which is actually why I started training with him to begin with. Do you think it would be wrong of me to switch trainers at this point without it being taken personally?

One of the few victories of South African President Thabo Mbeki's year-long backroom mediation between Robert Mugabe's regime and the opposition in Zimbabwe was an agreement that election results be posted outside polling stations. It was that concession to transparency by the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) that prevented a centralized rigging of the March 29 general election, and allowed the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (M.D.C.) to unofficially claim victory in both the parliamentary and presidential elections. Now the fear is that those same lists will guide pro-Mugabe mobs on a campaign of violence and intimidation designed to ensure the Zimbabwean President retains power after all.
The Zimbabwe Election Commission eventually endorsed the M.D.C.'s claim of victory in parliament, giving it 109 seats to Zanu-PF's 97. The commission still hasn't announced the presidential result, but the M.D.C. has declared that its leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, won 50.3% of the votean outright victory that would make a run-off unnecessary. The idea that the Zanu-PF might secretly concur with that assessment gathered strength Sunday when, with the Election Commission still sitting on the official tally, the ruling party demanded a recount.
That request, the election commission's stalling and Zanu-PF's unhurried attitude towards resolving the crisis all seem to indicate Mugabe is playing for time. So, too, do reports quoting diplomats in Harare as saying that Mugabe may issue a presidential decree delaying a run-off between him and Tsvangirai for 90 days. More time would allow Mugabe to mobilize his shock troopsthe so-called "veterans" who overran white-owned farms in the late 1990s and early years of this century.
The veterans are a loose rabble of violent protesters some veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation struggle, some born after independence in 1980 who aligned themselves with Mugabe in return for his support of their land seizures. On Saturday a few hundred of them paraded through downtown Harare, unmolested by riot police, and noisily demanded loyalty to Mugabe. That came after raids by the security services on a hotel room used as an office by M.D.C. and the arrest of two Western journalists accused of working without accreditation (something they are routinely refused) on Thursday night. M.D.C. secretary general Tendai Biti reacted by saying Mugabe had "declared war." At a press conference Saturday, Tsvangirai warned of a gathering "war against the people," adding, "In the run-off, violence will be the weapon." Tsvangirai flew to South Africa late on Sunday for talks to try to bolster international pressure on Mugabe.
The fear now is that the regime will encourage the veterans to deploy to opposition strongholds across the country. Just where those bastions are located is now all too obvious in the results posted on the sides of polling stations across Zimbabwe. "Our guys voted Zanu-PF, which was a disappointment," said the South Africa-based brother of one white farmer who has held onto his land in northern Zimbabwe. "But in hindsight, it's a blessing in disguise. The next-door farm voted M.D.C., and those guys are pretty worried now."
Zanu-PF's contempt for democracy, paired with a simultaneous need for a veneer of respectability, is symptomatic of Mugabe's leadership style: dictatorial but self-righteous. Johannesburg-based Heidi Holland is one of the few journalists to have met Mugabe more than once. In her book, Dinner With Mugabe, she tries to explain the mystery of Mugabe's mind. "Like the seemingly respectable married man who makes his living as a drug lord, Mugabe holds parallel positions," she writes. "The two are not coordinated in his divided self. While he was indeed the enlightened leader who wanted to develop the country, improve the plight of the poor and secure freedom by resisting colonial power, the once-admirable leader is also the person doing the terrible things that can't be mentioned� He can insist that he never sacrifices his principles because the way he sees it, he did not set out to murder, and the torture people suffered was of their own doing. While he may not be mad in a clinical sense, his is a mad way of being in the world; a cut-off, deluded way."
So it is that the regime takes pains to appear as though it is acting legally and heroically (organizing elections, denouncing the M.D.C. for prematurely announcing their results, railing against bloody colonial imperialism) while at the same time keeping an iron grip on power (sanctioning vote-rigging, beating up Tsvangirai and others, as they did last year, and, in Matabeleland in the 1980s, committing mass murder). Hence its appeal to Zimbabwean patriots to vote for Mugabe and against Western imperialism, while all but ignoring the plight of a people enduring an economic collapse that is only hinted at by the numbers: more than 100,000% inflation and 80% unemployment. The most recent example of this duality came at the weekend, when the regime announced it would contest the results in 16 parliamentary seats won by the M.D.C. even as armed police blocked M.D.C. officials from filing a petition at the High Court demanding the election commission release the presidential election results. (The M.D.C. was able to deliver its petition Monday.)
The election campaign, in which the opposition was allowed to campaign more or less freely, suggested the regime was loosening its grip, or was at least divided and unable to repress. The days after March 29 saw further hopeful signs. The opposition declared victory, and Tsvangirai was even moved to declare the dawn of "a new Zimbabwe founded on restoration, not on retribution, equality not discrimination, love, not war, tolerance not hate." He even said, "After Saturday 29th of March, 2008, Zimbabwe will never be the same again." Unfortunately for Zimbabwe, Mugabe and the Zanu-PF seem merely to have been digesting their defeat and plotting their future. And they appear to have concluded that his future depends on Zimbabwe remaining exactly where it is.

Striking It Rich: Treasures from Gold Mountain
Christie and Michael are visiting their grandparents' old store outside Oakland, California. For years they've heard stories from Auntie Mei about a mysterious room hidden somewhere in the store, but although they've looked, no one has ever found it. Its just a story. Or so they think, until the day they actually discover the hidden room. Hoping to find treasure, Christie and Michael find that they stumbled across letters written by early Chinese pioneers during the California Gold Rush. The letters offer a treasure that Christie and Michael never imagined.
With flashbacks that take them back in time to the lives of the letter writers, Christie and Michael "meet" some of the earliest Chinese immigrants and discover a rich sense of their own history and heritage as Chinese Americans.

TFCC Tear and Calcifications
My son (15) tore his TFCC playing hockey 2 years ago. He has had three cortisone shots for pain. The last one was not effective for very long, so we are considering surgery. Recently on xray they saw calcifications which werent there a year ago. I am not sure what is causing the calcifications. His doctor suggested going in and cleaning out the calcifications and removing the tear. He said it should clear up the pain but I have read where others have had this surgery and still have pain and was looking for a second opinion. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
As you probably know, a valid second opinion requires a medical history, physical examination, and personal review of imaging studies, none of which is possible over the Internet.
The longer any painful condition persists, the less likely it can be completely "cured" by anything, including surgery.
It is not uncommon for calcium to be deposited in areas of prior tissue damage or degenerative change.
Before surgery is decided upon, it would be preferable to be sure a comprehensive course of nonoperative treatment has been tried... this would consist of much more than 3 cortisone injections.
It would not be unreasonable for your son to seek a second opinion, preferably from a hand specialist who's (also?) had considerable experience treating TFCC tears.
Finally, for further information, if you've not already done so, perform a Search of the NetWellness website using the term "TFCC"; this currently yields 6 results.

Vanderbilt University was named the 17th best national university in the United States by U.S. News & World Report, the third consecutive year it has held that position.
Vanderbilt School of Engineering moved up to No. 34 among engineering schools whose highest degree awarded is a doctorate. The university was also noted for its achievements in undergraduate research and creative projects, popularity among high school guidance counselors, percentage of students receiving Pell Grants and being a good value for its tuition.
"It's rewarding to receive this news from U.S. News & World Report confirming that Vanderbilt's focus on its core mission of education and research continues to pay handsome dividends," said Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos. "In uncertain times, Vanderbilt continues to produce the leaders to address the challenges of the future."
Vanderbilt was tied with Rice University for the No. 17 best national university, in a category topped by Harvard, Princeton and Yale universities. In rankings of engineering programs that award doctorates, the Vanderbilt School of Engineering improved two slots from 2010, tying with three other schools for No. 34.
"While these rankings are only one measure of the success of our programs, they do recognize the school's excellent reputation in undergraduate engineering education," said Kenneth F. Galloway, dean of the School of Engineering. "We are among a group of strong engineering schools that are all striving for excellence, and it is gratifying to be recognized by your peers."
Vanderbilt was ranked No. 14 in the Great Schools, Great Prices list, which compares academic quality with the net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of need-based financial aid. In its second year of existence, the High School Guidance Counselors list included Vanderbilt as No 13 in a tie with four other schools, an improvement from No. 19 last year.
Vanderbilt was also noted for undergraduate research and creative projects in an unranked list of 28 universities.
Thirteen percent of Vanderbilt students receive Pell Grants for low income students, up from 11 percent in 2010. This ranked Vanderbilt in the Top 25 schools for economic diversity.
Highlights of the rankings will be published Sept. 20 in U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges guidebook.

ROME — The Second Vatican Council had something to say about the Catholic identity in Catholic colleges and universities — long before Pope John Paul II reaffirmed the teaching in his 1990 apostolic constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae(From the Heart of the Church) on Catholic higher education.
As part of its 40th anniversary series on the Second Vatican Council, Zenit news service took a look at the Vatican II declaration on Christian education, Gravissimum Educationis.
Zenit spoke with Kenneth Whitehead, a former U.S. assistant secretary of education who writes on public and Catholic Church affairs. His most recent book is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic: The Early Church Was the Catholic Church.
What are the most important points of
The most important point of the document is its primary focus on "the dignity of the human person," which establishes a right to education rather than focusing upon institutions such as the family and the school — upon which previous Church documents on education, such as Pope Pius XI's 1929 encyclical on Christian education, tended to focus.
This focus on human dignity, in keeping with an important priority of Vatican II generally, as it has been of the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, emphasizes that every human person has a right to education, just as every Christian has a right to a Christian education.
Another important focus of the document is its emphasis on parents as the principal and primary educators of their own children. Only after establishing this primary responsibility of the parents in education does the document go on to speak of the responsibilities of the school, society, the state and even the Church for education.
The document is very traditional, however, in its insistence that true education is "directed toward the formation of the human person in view of his final end and of the good of ... society."
What were the greatest successes of
The greatest success of the document is probably that it really has helped to establish in people's minds today the truth that parents are the principal and primary educators of their own children.
With the decline in standards in so many schools in our time, this understanding that the parents, after all, are really the responsible teachers, did not come along any too soon.
What still needs to be implemented in the document?
Probably much or most of the document's truths and basic principles are far from being implemented in practice, but one could mention in particular Gravissimum Educationis' call to public authorities to guarantee "distributive justice to ensure that public subsidies to schools are so allocated that parents are truly free to select schools for their children in accordance with their conscience."
This, of course, is not possible in America today, where Catholic parents must pay separately for Catholic schools for their children even while they continue to support the public schools with their taxes.
In North America, many of the so-called Catholic universities and colleges have lost much of their religious identity. What is the prospect for Catholic higher education?
The problem of loss of Catholic identity in Catholic higher education is really not a problem of education at all but rather of a practical abandonment of the principles of the Catholic faith.
Wholly in keeping with Vatican II's Gravissimum Educationis, Pope John Paul II issued in 1990 another document on the Catholic university, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, which spells out in detail what needs to be done to restore Catholicity to Catholic higher education.
The prospects for Catholic higher education could be very bright if Catholic educators would only respond to and follow the Pope's vision.
The home-schooling movement in North America has grown a lot. How do you see its future? Is it a healthy movement?
At a time when by pretty general agreement many schools have become so bad, the home-schooling movement has arisen out of the concerns of knowledgeable and responsible parents, who rightly wish more for their children than many schools today are providing.
The movement represents a clear and dramatic case of parents acting directly on Vatican II's teaching that they are the principal and primary educators of their children. I don't know what the future of the movement will be, but I hope it will be bright.

Last Thursday's episode of We TV's Braxton Family Values centered on Vincent Herbert and his sudden illness that left him in an induced coma in a New York City hospital. The Braxton family, including father Michael Conrad Braxton and brother Michael Braxton Jr., rallied around Tamar Braxton, the youngest of the sisters and Vince's wife. And for the first time, audiences saw a vulnerable and stripped Tamar, who was absolutely distraught over her husband's hospitalization. UPTOWN recently got a chance to speak with Tamar and Vince about his health, her new album and their spinoff series on We TV.
At the time of our interview Tamar was filming Braxtons in Atlanta, while Vince was getting a haircut at his home in California. Miles apart, their true love was still evident.

It is good news. We have a majority of pro-gun law makers down state right now and we will get a "shall issue" law passed.

The opinion took to task the 2nd districts reasonable may issue restrictions. So this decision is very much at odds with other districts. It creates a clear split in the circuits. Illinois has 180 days to write a law- and the clear majority in both house and senate are pro-ccw. Illinois had a decent shall issue ccw proposal that was just shy of the 2/3 majority before this decision and the pro-ccw legislators are now anticipating drafting and passing an even less restrictive shall issue ccw law. Unless a conservative judge is replaced on the USSC before the issue comes before the court- which I now see as likely given the split- I do not see this decision being overturned and shall issue will be the law of the land.

The words have been the same on the 2A all the way from its writing to today. I agree that the constitutional reading is the important part of this opinion, but for many like myself there was never any doubt as to what the plain English meant.
I am mystified why this wasn't cleared up long ago and to be honest it seems few rights in the bill of rights are so violated as the 2A. What I can say is, I do understand that rights do have limits but limits should be very narrow and rare.
Without trying to be funny or sarcastic, I can honestly say that sometimes I think the right needs to be treated in a way that is similar to affirmative action. The right needs to be recognized and encouraged by the state and federal governments, in places it is discriminated against it needs to be mandated and enforced that you can carry without fear of retribution, loss of job and all the other parts of the puzzle.
I know I'm an idealist but it is these ideals that's caused me to serve more than 20 years for my nation..
I see today as a huge victory and many challenges are still to be faced but finally for once at least one court has had the audacity to speak plainly and rightly without regard for politics.

Not to throw this topic off course, but how do you think the ruling in Illinois will affect the possibilities of future legislation that would affect the legal purchase or attainment of firearms?
As we all know, the current administration isn't exactly gun advocates, and if I recall and understand correctly, we barely hold the line in the SCOTUS in terms of judges that appear to favor the 2A and the RKBA. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
While it is unlikely that anything will happen until the house elections open in 2014, and equally unlikely an AWB will be passed, it also appears that current administration likes to play dirty when it comes to getting certain legislations passed (Again correct me if I'm wrong).
I will of course still be writing my respective states reps and senators but given latest victory (though it's outcome doesn't appear to be guranteed) in IL, how does that streangthen the RKBA advocates position on a federal level or is this to be taken as a purely state level win?

so unless
1) The State of Illinois appeals
2) SCOTUS hears the case and overturns the CA7's opinion -
This is the law of the land. Again, this is the United States - not the State of Illinois, it is much more than a state level win.
IMO, anti gunners are hoping that IL does not appeal. IMO it would be a tactical disaster for the gun control movement to appeal it.
As to how does it affect national RTKBA, well very little IMO. It would prevent the federal government from enacting the type of ban that Illinois had in place, but to the best of my knowledge the federal government has never come close to enacting a law like that and IMO - would not have enacted a ban on carrying, at least not in my lifetime. And even if they tried, there is the issue of states rights. I'm sure Texas and quite a few other would fight any federal ban on carry.

While this is a Great Day for the advocacy of 2A activism, let's not go further than we have to ... Which is exactly what Judge Posner did in writing his decision.
Alan Gura has already indicated that he will be/is writing a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court in Kachalsky. This will add a small amount of justification for the Court to grant that cert.
There will be Rule 28J letters submitted to Peterson (CA10); Woollard (CA4); Piszczatoski (CA3); and the trio of cases at CA9 - Baker, Peruta and Richards. A 28J letter is a submission of Supplemental Authority to the court after briefing is concluded, before or after oral arguments have been made. This decision, while not binding precedent in any other circuit, it is persuasive authority in all other circuits.
Judge Posner was careful (I have only scanned the opinion, as yet) to not say that the CA2 (Kachalsky) was wholly wrong. Please note that. Because it means that IL may in fact pass a similar set of laws as NY.
In that respect, this is not a circuit split. Yet, some of the language by Judge Posner, may go a long way towards getting "may issue" laws ruled as unconstitutional.
So while there is much to rejoice, I would also caution restraint.
I will have more to say, when I get off work and have had time to digest this decision.

Hum, IL Constitution states: SECTION 22. RIGHT TO ARMS
Subject only to the police power, the right of the
individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be
So, now, if there is no valid IL law banning carry,,,in 180 days, won't IL revert to a VT style carry?

The majority (Pro gun) law makers won't pass a overly restrictive bill just to pass one. If there is no bill passed in the 180 days won't IL revert to Constitutional carry? Not sure if I am using the right words here. So the anti's have to consed to less restrictions or there won't be any restrictions?

My best guess is that there will be licensed carry with some form of "may issue." Chicago is still the 800 pound gorilla, and an aide as quoted in the Chicago Tribune: "As the mayor has said all along, the City of Chicago is committed to maintaining the fullest degree of lawful handgun restrictions possible while still respecting the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens, because maintaining common-sense restrictions is an issue of public safety."
The decision is of course not binding on the Ninth Circuit, and moreover, the three California cases and the one Hawaii cases all dealt with the scope of the sheriff's discretion under the state "may issue" statute, an issue not presented in Moore v. Madigan (there was no right to carry in Illinois for self defense until today), i.e., what may be required by was of "good cause" for issuance. The decision will be persuasive to the extent that there is still an argument being presented by various governmental entities that the right to "bear" does not extend beyond the home

If the state passes no law the cities will pass their own. The legislature needs a shall issue law with local premption and minimum restrictions. No law may be ok in most of downstate but will not help in Chicago. I would suggest the state have open carry be legal with just the current FOID card.

^^^ to the above:
Illinois residents ought to attempt to get a CCW law passed that mirrors other states ones. Otherwise... No reciprocity. A carbon copy of Wisconsin law would be ideal. Using the statistics gathered in the one year history of the most recent state to overturn no CCW laws, a neighboring state, with a similar mix of rural, suburban, and urban areas would be smart. No reported problems, no dead bystanders, etc. Leverage this: And ensure reciprocity. You'll want it to come to Wisconsin just as much as we want out licenses recognized there.

Congratulations to the honest citizens there!
I wonder if they'll draft restrictions such as walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk is a crime so they can boost arrest stats on honest citizens. Hard to believe they'll have anything reasonable.

Now, the people of Illinois that have been wrongly arrested and weapons confiscated need to file suits on the state and towns for getting their records cleaned up, their firearms replaced at city and state cost, et al!
Their arrests can be expunged in the cases of otherwise honest citizens.

I'm an Illinois Resident....
and all I have to say is that while I realize we've still got a ways to go, this is a good thing that happened today! At least we've overcome this hurdle! I live in Peoria and even our Mayor and Chief of Police wanted to use Peoria as a test city for concealed carry a couple years ago, so the climate outside of Chicago is ripe for this!
Very happy about this common sense ruling!

Great News!
Can't wait for this 180 days to come due and see what they have crafted.
Similar to Wisconsin would be fine and reciprocity to neighboring states would also be good.
I know everyone does not know what to do with Chicago, but a CCW could just be an extension of the present restrictions:
Foid card
City of Chicago Firearms Permit - which requires a hands on certified course
Registration of individual firearms
(then can add a CCW permit on to the end of this)
To get through all of that you have to be pretty clean, determined and have a few hundred dollars to throw at it as I found out when getting my firearm permit. This will eliminate a lot of the meatheads that could cause problems down the road. (Of course leaving out all the present people(criminals) who illegally carry.
I am very excited. I finally will not be limited to a range gun and join the rest of the United States in being able to carry a weapon to protect myself and my family.

Don H, I think his rationale is that this particular change will have been due to the prior law having just been ruled unconstitutional. IE, it was not "changed," it was invalidated.

Undoubtedly a great win for 2A rights but a word of caution. The opinion seems to approve of a permit system and more than hints that a state can require competency in firearms before issuing a permit.

illinois carry
hold the congrats this will be done the CHICAGO WAY don't think Illinois politicians those mainly from chicago will lay down over this. The hippocrites that will vote against this probably have their own special carry permits or their own bodyguards with permits. This state is nuts lived here forever that's my fault.

PHOENIX - Secretary of State Ken Bennett has waded into the controversy over the president's birthplace again.
But not in the way some have charged.
"I actually think he was born in Hawaii," Bennett told a group of Republicans last week, explaining his efforts to verify that state has a birth certificate on file for Obama. Bennett said he felt that his role as the state's chief elections officer entitled him to make such a query.
But Bennett said that does not mean the public is getting the whole story.
"I actually think he was fibbing about being born in Kenya when he was trying to get into college and doing things like writing a book, and on and on," Bennett told his audience. "So if there was weird stuff going on, I actually think it was happening back in his college days."
The comments came as Bennett was trying to round up support for Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney. Bennett chairs Romney's Arizona campaign efforts.
Asked about the comments, which were videotaped by an audience member, Bennett said he was only speculating. And he noted that he used the word "if" a couple of times when talking about the "fibbing" and why he believes the president when he says now he was born in Hawaii.
But he did not include such conditional speculation on everything, he said.
"I think he has spent $1.5 or $2 million through attorneys to have all the college records and all that stuff sealed," Bennett continued. "So if you're spending money to seal something, that's probably where the hanky-panky was going on."
"But I have no knowledge," Bennett said later to Capitol Media Services. That, however, still leaves the flat-out statement about the money Obama has spent to have his records sealed.
"That's part of the speculation that I hear," Bennett said. Pressed for how he came up with those specific numbers, he responded, "I don't know where I heard that."
The closest thing to Bennett's comments stem from an effort by a literary agent for Obama in 1991 to promote the Harvard law school graduate as a writer, listing him as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii." An assistant who worked at the agency at the time has since called it "a fact-checking error by me."

OLYMPIA – No new areas will open to recreational crabbing this Saturday (Jan. 15) when the commercial crab season opens on the coast.
OLYMPIA – No new areas will open to recreational crabbing this Saturday (Jan. 15) when the commercial crab season opens on the coast.
That's what the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has told hundreds of callers since last week, when a newspaper printed a story that failed to mention that the upcoming opening applies only to the commercial fleet fishing in coastal waters.
Since then, several other news outlets have picked up the story, also failing to note that the regulation issued by WDFW specifically applies to the commercial fishery.
"Our phones have been ringing off the hook," said Lew Atkins, assistant director for the WDFW Fish Program. "People heard there was a crab opening, and jumped to the conclusion that it was for recreational fishers in Puget Sound. That's just not the case."
Atkins noted that the opening of the coastal commercial fishery, set to begin on Saturday, has been delayed since Dec. 1 because the crab have been slow to fill out. The opening applies to commercial fishers in Washington and northern Oregon, north of Cape Falcon.
Coastal waters are open to recreational fishing with crab pots through Sept. 15, and year-around for all other gear. However, the only waters currently open to recreational crab fishing in Puget Sound are in Marine Area 13, south of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Atkins said.
"We don't expect to open any other areas to recreational crabbing in Puget Sound or the Strait of Juan de Fuca until next summer," Atkins said. "We'll be announcing those openings in a month or two."

Hi all! Please point me to the proper thread if there is one already... I have spent an hour now searching through the site with no luck.
I have a projector downstairs that I would like to put my basic TV channels on. Of course the projector does not have a TV Tuner in it so I need something to decode the channels. I chose the iView 3500STBII because of the great reviews that it has gotten.
I have a subscription to Omaha's Cox Basic Cable. I don't use a DVR, but merely hook the coax cable directly to my TV's and get a lot o channels. So I know the signal is there. However, I am having no luck at getting the iView to find the channels during a search. I have installed the v13 from the post #5 of this forum and see the added features in the menus. However an automatic search returns no results.
THe best I can do is a manual search on Air... It will show signal quality, but when I choose to add it, It goes to the smiley face like it's saving and then restarts at the boot menu. Not channel gets saved.
Please help!
Secondly, you should post any further questions in the dedicated iView thread to get the attention of the other owners.
This is the iView thread, it's over 100 pages now.
When you say you got lots of channels on your TV, where they analog channels(something like 2 or 2.0 not 2.1 or 2.2)? If they were analog the iView will not decode analog channels, only digital. For analog channels something like a old VCR or DVD recorder with a tuner would work, of course they would be 480i SD and not look that great on a projector. If your channels are digital the iView should be tuning them, assuming you have it set for cable and not antenna.
If you haven't, check the OP on page 1 of that link I gave you, it has lots to say about the iView.
Thanks again everyone for your help, but now I'm all sorts of confused!!! :(
[I am still posting to this thread because I no longer believe I have an issue with the iView box.]
As Aleron suggested above, I loaded the v12 firmware with no success. I now believe that is because this iView is only for Digital signals and from what I have read, the channels that I receive on my TVs range from 02 - 70 (that I understand to be analog). However, I do have a few channels above that: 71-8 to 76-14 that I understand to be digital channels. So if someone is able to confirm for me if I am needing a TV tuner for digital or analog, that would be very helpful.
So here is where the confusion really come in:
I can't get any channels recognized by the digital box, but before trying this box I had tried a Sabrent TV-PCIRC PCI card for my PC that is supposed to be for NTSC (analog) signals. I never did get this card to detect any more than one channel, channel 5, that I believe is an over-the-air channel that my coax cable is picking up.
In short, I've tried an analog tv tuner and a digital tv tuner with not luck, but all my tv's pick up the channels just fine by using the same coax cables directly to the tv sets. There are no cable boxes for encrypted signals and no there are no cable cards inserted into my tv's to decrypt the Cox Communications Basic Cable that I have a subscription too.
Thanks again for any help in advance!

text: Hi, I'm trying to purchase my first pinhole, but am having a hard time deciding between a Zero Image and an 8Banners. (yes, I know I could make one, but I have absolutely no crafty ability). The only thing holding me back from the Zero 2000 is not being able to switch between pinhole and zone plate easily. My question for those of you with the 8Banners is whether you can switch easily between pinhole and zone plate with the regular t-shutter. I'm trying to keep the cost down, so that's why I haven't mentioned their turret. Thanks, Mark

City aims to improve infrastructure
The city has its work cut out this year. From parks and streets to the city's harbor and sanitary sewer system, a broad range of projects will keep the city's public works crews and contractors busy. Included in the workload this year is ongoing efforts to repair damage left in the wake of flooding in June 2012.
The city has plans for nearly 50 projects that are in the works; in some cases, the work is designing and planning for projects for projects planned in the future. Others put finishing touches on projects already started, like the Tower Avenue reconstruction project.
"We are going to be finishing up Veterans Memorial Park located at Seventh and Catlin," said Mary Morgan, director of Parks, Forest and Recreation. "We're going to be finishing up Wade Bowl at 12th and Catlin … renovations at 18th and Oakes Avenue play area."
This year work to finish the parking lot at Hayes Court also will be completed, Morgan said. Plans include installing ornamental fencing at Webster Park.
Billings Park is also getting needed attention. This year, the city is reconstructing the entrance bridge and road in Billings Park as work gets underway to design the renovation planned for 2015 at the city park adjacent to the St. Louis River, Morgan said.
That's in addition to crews continuing efforts to take down ash trees in the wake of the discovery of emerald ash borer in Superior's North End. Crews have already planted new trees in the neighborhood where more than 300 ash trees were taken over the last year.
In addition, the city's streets are getting some needed attention. The council approved a $2.8 million construction bid by James Peterson Sons Inc. for reconstruction of East Fifth Street from Belknap to 12th Avenue East. While a portion of the project was expected to be complete last year, a lack of bidders sent city staff back to the drawing board. In addition to reconstruction of the street, Superior Water, Light and Power will be spending about $500,000 to replace water mains and service laterals in the area, according to Public Works Director Jeff Goetzman.
In addition, the city will be working to finish work near the new Super One store in East End with paving, curbs and a right turn lane; the final work on signals, lights, paving and curbs on 22nd Avenue East will be completed this year.
Planning and design work continues for the expected 2016 and 2017 reconstruction of Belknap Street.
About $700,000 this year will be spent milling and paving including numerous streets north of Belknap Street, in Billings Park, and avenues in East End
Another $188,000 will be spent on sidewalk repairs.
Flood damage remaining from 2012 at North 28th Street and Bardon Avenue, and slope and shoulder damage at Woodlawn Avenue will be repaired.
On the waterfront, the city plans repairs at the city-owned marina on Barker's Island, in addition to finishing dock work at the General Mills and Fraser Shipyard facilities.
Upgrades are also planned at the city's Wastewater Treatment Plant and Lift Station No. 4.

AfterShokz Bluez 2 open ear wireless headphones combine the convenience, reliability and performance of Bluetooth wireless connectivity with the comfort and safety of open ear bone conduction technology to provide consumers with an entirely new way to stay connected. Unlike conventional Bluetooth headphones and earbuds that use the eardrums to transmit sound, Aftershokz Bluez headphones utilize patent pending bone conduction technology to deliver sound through the listener's cheekbones to the inner ear. This enables anyone using them to make/take phone calls and stay connected to both what they are listening to and the outside world - from warning sounds outdoors while walking or driving to a nearby colleague in an office setting.
We can't say we invented bone conduction, but our technological enhancements certainly push its boundaries. Our patented design guides mini vibrations through your cheekbones to your inner ears, delivering stereo sound without plugging or covering them. Sound waves travel directly to the cochlea, bypassing the eardrums completely—an alternative for anyone concerned about potential hearing damage caused by traditional headphones and ear buds, and even a solution for those with certain forms of hearing loss.
Most bluetooth devices are designed for use in one ear, but AfterShokz Bluez sit comfortably in front of the ears and provide listeners with a stereophonic sound experience. The innovative and elegantly simple design of AfterShokz Bluez open ear headphones is built around a beautifully designed, highly ergonomic, extremely stable, one-piece warparound headband. The open ear design and the light weight of AfterShokz Bluez make them extremely comfortable and stable, even when used over extended periods of time.
Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process—sound travels through our eardrums and bones simultaneously. We've taken the concept to the next level through development of a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents. The result: headphones that deliver unrivalled situational awareness and comfort.
Transducers guide mini vibrations through the cheekbones to the inner ears, delivering sound without plugging or covering them.
It doesn't seem sensible that audio travelling through your bones instead of your ears could be so finely tuned. It wouldn't be possible without our PremiumPitch technology, which assures the finest in bone conduction audio, with a range that suits music and voice.
Durably designed to withstand high-impact activities, these headphones will power through daily sweat sessions and wicked weather. A nanotechnology coating and watertight rubber gaskets repel sweat and moisture from the inside out.
Natural sound leakage is a common drawback found with most all headphones and earbuds, especially at high volumes. LeakSlayer was designed to release sound generated by the transducers in order to cancel sound generated by the housing, significantly reducing leakage, even when compared to traditional headphones and earbuds.

One year after more than a dozen fires were set inside Wayne Elementary School, doing more than a half-million dollars damage, the Wooster City Schools Board of Education is slowly but surely closing the books on the calamity.
And for William Sturgeon, director of support services, those are a couple of really big books.
Thumbing through thick binders containing all the financial paperwork related to the Feb. 8, 1998, blaze, Sturgeon talks about $616,972 spent in cleanup costs and the $140,846 expended to replace equipment and supplies that were lost.
"There are still some outstanding purchase orders," said Sturgeon. "When it's all said and done we'll have $800,000 in it."
While the aroma of new paint and carpeting have long since replaced the acrid stench of smoke and charred materials in the north-end school, Superintendent David Estrop said, "You know, I can still smell that smell as when I first walked into the building that Sunday afternoon. I walk into Wayne today, and sometimes the smell just hits me, even though it isn't there anymore."
For Estrop, the fire marked the best of times and the worst of times. Coming just seven months after he arrived in Wooster to take the reins of the district, the blaze presented a distraction of nightmare proportions for the superintendent who still was getting comfortable in his new job.
However, Estrop readily admits that the black smoke turned out to have a silver lining, and the incident taught him an unforgettable lesson about the Wooster community's willingness to band together in the face of adversity.
During the weeks following the fire, hundreds of volunteers from throughout the community, and even beyond, showed up at Wayne in almost round-the-clock shifts to clean every inch of the school and every item in it. In addition, donations of needed cash were received, as were books and other materials.
As a result, what should have been a 30-day reopening process was whittled to an incredible nine days.

Wayne Principal Kirk Bolden said that the tragedy was instrumental in teaching some important lessons to the school's staff as well.
"It brought our staff together, although we're a close staff to begin with," said Bolden, who is in his eighth year as principal of the 62-year-old school. "It reinforced the idea with the staff of working together as a team, and this was of critical importance."
Bolden said, "The staff realized right away this was something they couldn't do by themselves; that this was going to take a team working together to put everything back again."
The principal also noted that recovery from the fire "created a need to communicate." As a result, he said, "The staff has found that some of the little things that used to bother us don't matter as much anymore. After going through something like this, the staff's feeling is, 'If we can solve the problems relating to the fire, we can certainly solve this.'"
Estrop and Sturgeon were quick to credit Scott Allen of Whitaker-Myers Insurance & Financial Services of Wooster, Indiana Insurance Co. representative Robert Hinton and Craig O'Mahne of Allen Keith Construction Co. of North Canton, fire cleanup specialists, with making the restoration of the school go smoothly.
"They went above and beyond the call of duty," said Estrop. "They were on the scene within hours, they worked with each and every individual involved, both staff and volunteers, they did a quality job, and they are still responding to our concerns. They made things work the way they ought to work."
One of the focal points of concern in the wake of the fire was the school's 5,000-volume library, which suffered extensive smoke damage. In the weeks that followed the blaze the books were shipped to Midwest Freeze-Dry of Chicago for cleaning and to ascertain which could be salvaged.
While about three-fourths of the volumes were able to be restored, Bolden said, "We can never replace a lot of the valuable books and volumes we lost," including a prized set of National Geographics and first-edition children's books of the 1950s. He said that some of those books were worth hundreds of dollars apiece.
Bolden said that about $8,000 was donated by community members to help replace the library, and that a drive to restock its shelves brought in thousands of donated books.
Young Arsonists
Still In Custody
WOOSTER -- While little physical evidence may remain of the weekend crime spree two local boys embarked on one year ago, not all the marks they left can be erased as quicky as paint covered the burned walls at Wayne Elementary School.
Two sixth-graders admitted setting more than a dozen fires at the school, burning and vandalizing a nearby home on Smithville-Western Road, damaging vehicles parked at Edgewood Middle School and breaking into another home where they stole, among other things, two handguns they would later use to shoot at occupied vehicles and homes.
The boys were remanded to the custody of the Multi-County Juvenile Attention Center indefinitely, on the assumption that their commitment to state treatment facilities would be years long.
One of the boys has been placed at Buckeye Ranch near Columbus, a treatment facility for troubled youths. The other is living in Canton at the Multi-County Residential Treatment Center.
Eventually, Bolden said, so many books were donated that some had to be sold at the annual American Association of University Women book sale, with the proceeds going to People To People Ministries.
In the days following the fire, more than $15,000 in donations was received from the community. Of that amount, half was used to restore the library, with about $7,500 remaining unspent as officials wait to see what final items will not be reimbursed by insurance.
"We learned the importance of keeping good records, and we did have good records," said Sturgeon. He added, "The whole thing could have been a lot worse, but we were so blessed. We had the community, the insurance company, the contractor and even the weather on our side. It couldn't have gotten any better. If you took any one of those pieces away there would have been major problems to deal with."
"It went about as well as a disaster could go," chimed in Bolden.
Estrop said the recovery effort went well because so many people worked to make it go well.
"We had quality people in key roles," he said.
"There was a lot of daily behind-the-scenes planning and people who worked to make sure things fit together. When we saw the community responding," Estrop continued, "we wanted to do the planning that was required to utilize that help as effectively as possible. We had people who organized volunteer schedules and made sure there was work for them to do.
"Everything worked about as well as I think we could have hoped for," the superintendent said.
"I think that sometimes you just need to be reminded that the community cares," said Bolden, who also noted that the aftermath of the fire gave his staff an opportunity to discover what the district's central office staff really does. "When they realized it, they were sort of overwhelmed," Bolden recalled.
A year after the fire Bolden said Wayne Elementary "is a little better than it was" because of the remodeling work, something which, otherwise, would have been years away. There is new carpeting, new lighting, new drop ceilings, and a refurbished office, art room, music room, library and teachers' lounge.
And even though 364 days have passed since the blaze, Estrop said, "It is still fresh emotionally. Those feelings about the fire, everybody coming together to help, and then the celebration afterwards, are still real close to the surface.
"But as I look back," he said, "the community ought to feel real proud about it."

Why? Well, partly because I haven't found a way to do it that doesn't require manually typing number after number into Apple's Address Book, since I can't figure out how to export the vCard from my phone, though I know how to do it in the opposite direction. Laziness, clearly.
And I realized this morning that losing my phone would be a huge problem. The information contained on it, and my SIM card exists nowhere else. How easy would it be to retrieve this information if lost? Well, let's do an inventory of the phone numbers I have committed to memory.
- My home phone number from childhood (inactive since 1997)
- My best friend from childhood's home phone number (inactive since 2000-ish)
- My ex-girlfriend's home phone number
- My ex-bandmate's home phone number(Just the drummer. As far as I know, only his parents use this anymore.)
- My home number in Pahrump (now just my father's number)
- The second line in my home in Pahrump, which was used, fairly exclusively, for dial-up internet access (which I'm not sure my father still has)
- My girlfriend's old cellphone number (though I can find her new one through my account with T-mobile, now that we share a cell plan)
- My Cape Cod-dwelling grandparents' phone number
- My work phone number
- My apartment phone number
- My cellphone number
- 1-800-Metrocard
- 911
That leaves a ton of numbers I would have to recover (I have well over 150 stored in my phone). Most of my family, all of my friends, my roommate, all my clients, favorite restaurants, past employers, my doctor - not good.
Not good at all.
Do you memorize phone numbers anymore? Or have a written phonebook? Or computer backups of your contacts? Do you automatically sync? Or do the manual thing?
How much would you lose if you lost your phone?
Let me know in the comments.

Two reports released in the past 24 hours blast the state Department of Juvenile Services for lapses in everything from facility security to medical documentation. The criticism comes less than a month before Election Day, when Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley faces his Republican predecessor, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.
In an interview this morning, O'Malley said Juvenile Services was "the most underperforming department in the state" when he took office in January 2007. "We're still not perfect. We still have a lot of work to do."
A state legislative audit out Wednesday showed the department was poor at keeping supervision records for even the most dangerous and at-risk kids. In addition, the audit found documentation problems that led to losing $3 million in federal money and signing $150 million in contracts before they were approved by the Board of Public Works.
This morning, the state's independent juvenile monitor issued findings in a teacher killing on the grounds of Cheltenham Youth Facility in Prince George's County. A 14-year-old juvenile housed there at the time is charged with the sexual assault and murder of the teacher, Hannah Wheeling. The monitor's report says the facility lacked basic security equipment and staff frequently violated policies requiring constant sight and sound supervision of youth.
Responding to the legislative audit this morning, O'Malley echoed an agency spokesman, saying many of the problems had been corrected in the year since audit review period ended.
"We don't look at it every four years," he said. "We look at it every day."
He also described the February killing of the Cheltenham teacher as one of the "greatest tragedies" in his nearly four years as governor.
Juvenile advocates say neither governor can claim success in reforming the long-troubled agency, which handles youngsters charged with or found responsible for crimes. The Sun has examined the policies of O'Malley and Ehrlich, both of whom pledged reform.
From that story:
If history is a guide, solutions for how to handle young violent offenders could elude whoever wins in November, and the realities of slumping state tax revenue and other agenda items could quickly swamp campaign promises.
"It's not easy, because there's nothing good politically when you look under that rock," said state Sen. Bobby A. Zirkin, a Baltimore County Democrat who has studied the agency, adding that Ehrlich and O'Malley both deserve credit for paying attention to an agency that had long been neglected.
Others say neither governor moved rapidly enough to bring change to a system that, when working properly, turns kids' lives around. Child advocates point to an upward trend in the rearrest rate for juveniles released from youth facilities, an increase that comes even as the state pumps more money into the agency each year.
"What I would say for both of these governors is that the juvenile justice system has remained significantly dysfunctional," said Matthew Joseph, who, as director of the Maryland Advocates for Children and Youth, has tracked the system for almost 15 years.

Looking For Online Singing Lessons?
|September 3, 2011
|Posted by admin under Singing Lessons
Online Singing lessons are appropriate for beginners and performing artists alike. If you are a beginner with a restricted budget you can start with the software assisted lessons. But if you are an accomplished singer who wants to further enhance his/her knowledge you can buy the instructional videos and e-books available for people at various proficiency levels.
Two of the biggest advantages associated with online singing lessons are the low cost and the flexibility that you get in terms of time. But the best is yet to come; it is also possible to find free online singing lessons as well. Here are a few ways to do so.
There are many professional and gifted singers who offer free online singing lessons through instructional videos free singing tutorials on YouTube and other professional sites.
Sites like expertvillage.com and others allow user to free download of singing lessons and tutorials uploaded by other users. Some sites also let you upload information directly on your iPod.
If you search for singing voice coaches on Google you will find that many professional instructors offer a few free courses while others will let you try some lessons for free after you register for a paid course, Since most of these free courses are used for advertisement purposes to attract further business they are a good starting point for beginners and will include some good practice exercises that will demonstrate to the student how well the trainer can teach.
Most of these courses are very helpful. However you need to remember that with any online singing you will have to work extra hard. In online singing lessons, you will not have the added pressure of performing in front of your peers and instructor as you will in a private lesson. Since you are the one who will be entirely responsible for your improvement there may be times when you will lack motivation and take the course for granted. But you need to remember that the only way to improve is through diligent hard work and perseverance.
The first few lessons will usually include a range check. This will help the coach to determine your lowest and highest range and the areas of improvement. Some free online singing lessons may also include warm-p exercises and exercises to improve pitch and tone. While some other may give you tips on improving your voice quality.
Free online singing lessons are a good way to get a taste of what goes into professional singing from the comforts of your own home and it is free. Also since you get the opportunity to experiment with many coaches and programs you will be able to decide which one works best for you.

London, Jan 9 (ANI): Cherished for their reliable comfort, platform shoes have spent more than a quarter of a century taking over the stiletto as a woman's heel of choice.
But with this season's return to thinner-soled shoes, Vogue has declared that the reign of the platform, which they believe "enlarges the lower part of our bodies," is over, the Daily Mail reported.
Shoe designer and stylist Tabitha Simmons feels that when the shoe is big and clunky, one can look a bit heavier.
Jimmy Choo creative director, Sandra Choi, agreed, saying that single soles have a daintier feel and enhance female curves in the legs and calf area.
While Choi admitted that platform shoes help a woman appear taller, she believes that any heightening benefits are lost by a universal inability to stride gracefully in chunky soles. (ANI)

ELYRIA — Kenneth Sheldon, the man killed Sunday by a train in Elyria, was not suicidal, according to his sister.
Sandra Carter said Sheldon liked to walk by train tracks and believes the death may have been an accident caused by Sheldon's alcoholism rather than suicide.
"It's not like him," Carter said. "He wasn't depressed."
Sheldon was struck and killed by an eastbound Norfolk Southern freight train at 4:05 p.m. Sunday off North Street between Chestnut and West Bridge streets. Firefighter Bryant Lieux said a Norfolk Southern employee told him Sheldon was lying on the tracks and sat up before being struck. A report on the death was unavailable Monday, police said.
Lieux said Sheldon was dead when firefighters arrived at the scene. Lorain County Coroner Dr. Stephen Evans said Sheldon died of multiple blunt force trauma and while no note was found at the scene, suicide was suspected. However, Carter said she believes the death was accidental.
Carter, 60, said she last talked to Sheldon, 53, Thursday or Friday when he thanked Carter for lending him money. Carter said Sheldon, a father of three adult children, was in good spirits.
Police said Sunday that Sheldon was homeless, but Carter said he was living with friends in the 2500 block of 37th Street in Lorain. Carter said Sheldon had been receiving Social Security disability payments because of his emphysema, but previously worked as a construction worker and had worked for a few years at the Elyria Foundry.
Despite his alcoholism, Carter said Sheldon was a good person.
"He was a sweetheart," she said.

Saturday, August 9, 2014
Saturday, August 9, 2014
Redheaded twins Armando and Beatriz always dreamed of being firefighters but during a rainy, uneventful winter they find themselves spending less time putting out infernos than they do helping neighbors who've locked themselves out of their apartments. This is how Armando meets a pretty young woman with whom he begins a tentative courtship. But soon a rift grows between the siblings and, spurred by Armando's exaggerated stories about his nascent relationship, Beatriz begins experiencing aural hallucinations that can only be remedied through music and, finally, the love of a stranger. Pinto made this impassioned fairy tale as part of a series of films about the four elements.

Loading modules in Gentoo results in "Unknown symbol module_refcount"
Hi everyone.
I've just installed Gentoo and have come across issues when setting up Samba and setting up the fglrx module for my ATI Radeon x700 PCI express card.
When I "modprobe fglrx" and "modprobe smbfs" both error and dmesg says:
"Unknown symbol module_refcount" for both.
I've tried every suggestion that I have found but to no avail.
I do have module unloading enabled in the kernel.
I've also enabled everything in the kernel that the ATI FAQ pages say to do, as well as samba.
I've emerged ati-drivers and samba.
Is there something that I'm missing? is there a way to make these(and other) modules find the module_refcount function?
BTW: Distro is Gentoo kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r7.
Just out of curiousity have you run "etc-update" after syncing and updating your software? I ran into an issue once and updating the config files with etc-update fixed it. Just a long shot, hope this helps.
When running etc-update, the config files that need updating don't appear to have anything to do with this issue.
(At least it looks that way to me)
Thanks for the suggestion. I need all the help I can get!
Solved It!
I noticed that the 2.6.16-r8 kernel was out. Figured it was my last hope so I gave it a try and it worked!
Not only did it solve the samba problem, but the ATI drivers also work now(and that really suprised me since the ATI drivers are a pain)
Lucky me I guess.
Awesome! Enjoy using Gentoo, I dived into it about 10 months ago and haven't looked back since :)
P.S. ALWAYS run etc-update after you sync and update your packages. The config files may not appear to have something to do with your problem, but you never know. :)
