So, here's the story.
My girlfriend's mother has a laptop that she has asked me, after I displayed some general PC knowledge while she was visiting, to help fix. I have a budget for this, but I suspect the issue is one that SHOULDN'T require any hardware... but I might be wrong and a new hard drive might actually be needed.
So, we started off with what I do for almost any critical failure issue where Windows won't full boot, etc... etc... I tried to reinstall Windows. Sadly, that's worked for me more often than I can count, so I figured, hey, let's start there. It was then that I discovered a few things about Acer in general, as well as what the previous person who had tried to fix it had screwed up.
1. The "hidden partition" for Acers, which I guess is supposed to be used to restore to system defaults had been emptied then deleted (and the original windows partition had been expanded to overlap it).
2. Acers do not like me. We got a full install through on Windows ONCE... we got to the desktop, I was setting up a network connection so we could get online and start downloading drivers when the computer hanged, I was left with only a desktop, and upon rebooting, Windows Install popped back up and the partition says 0.0MB available and used. Nothing can change this, and we don't know why.
Aspire 5735-4774 is what it is. If anyone has any info on how to fix the partition, maybe what hard drive is inside to get drivers, etc... would be greatly appreciated!
Did I miss the "Demos has a girlfriend" dating thread?
If you can't get a fresh install from a disc to work, go Here to order "recovery media" that's basically a copy of the hidden partition. I had issues with getting a different version of windows on a computer at work that had this, and I ended up taking the hard drive out, hooking it up to another desktop as a slave, and reformatted the whole drive before I could install from a disc.
One thing that might also work - to get access to the drive etc. is to use a linux boot disc. Worked for me when my laptop was no longer booting into windows properly (it would just reboot) and i loaded into the linux, checked all the files - saved the important ones and rebooted.... went into windows just fine. Never did work out what the problem was. :/

Glossary of Terms
Angina/Angina Pectoris
The pain, discomfort, or symptoms associated with the heart muscle not getting enough blood and oxygen. Angina is not typically a sharp pain like that associated with, for example, hitting your thumb, but more of a pressure-like sensation. The classic description of angina is when the patient experiences pressure, usually on the front of the chest just underneath the breast bone, or to the left of the breast bone. The discomfort can travel to the neck or down the arm. Sometimes the patient will describe some numbness of the arm. The pain is usually brought on by some kind of stress or exercise and often dissipates with rest. Angina, however, can also be confused with indigestion, gallbladder symptoms, or in some cases, flu-like symptoms. Angina is not the same as having a heart attack but can be a waring sign of a potential heart attack.

Hi Devrim, Dave, it really makes me think to the problem we had on debian and which I believe is due to a lack of internal version number change in wxWidgets. Devrim, just to be sure and before you move to a new version of pgAdmin III, can you simply try to rebuild the package of pgAdmin III you are using on the system where you want to install it and then reinstall it. If it's what I suspect, it should work and we should definitely try to make so that wx guys upgrade the library version number to reflect this. Cheers, Raph

Graphic Design Professor Presents at SXSW Festival
Graphic design professor Ross Nover, CAS/'05, was hand picked to lead a panel discussion at one of the nation's largest interactive festivals, the South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival, in March.
Nover, who has made the trip to Austin, Texas for the festival before, was overjoyed when he found out that he would be presenting on a panel about the art of captions. "I called my mom—that was first—and then I forwarded it to some ex-girlfriends that never thought I'd amount to anything, and then I ran around the hallways here in Katzen to find somebody who knew what it was and understood why it was cool," Nover says, jokingly.
The week-long interactive festival is just one part of the SXSW Festival, which lasts two weeks and also includes music and film. The festival has been known to spark interests and innovations responsible for launching some of the most popular websites in the past few years, including Twitter.com and Foursquare.com. Nover was invited to join other panelists at the festival after organizers announced the winning ideas of the SXSW 2011 Panel Picker, an annual competition in which the public submits and votes on ideas for discussion topics.
Nover, who maintains his own Web comic called The System and his co-panelists, who also create comics and art for their own blogs and other publications such as the New Yorker, were asked to lead a discussion called "Your Caption Here: How-to Manipulate your Images Without Photoshop" based on one of the winning ideas.
The panelists discussed "the pairings of words and images to create both art and design," said Nover. "My biggest point was that I use all these techniques, both in design as well as in the comics that I draw. So, to me, it's about the kind of universal nature of the ideas, where they can be applied to just about anything. That was probably the best part of it," he said.
Nover presented examples of his students' work and class assignments that related to the topic of captions to the roughly 100-member audience. "We also looked at things as silly as lolcats (a website which features pictures of cats and humorous captions), and did some cool workshops," he says.
He and the other panelists offered an interactive demonstration that let audience members create captions for photos that the panel posted via Twitter. "We were watching the feed and seeing what came up and talking about what worked. We tried to approach it less as a lecture and more like a discussion, and I think a lot of interesting conversation came out of it, both for the panelists and the attendees."
Outside of the panel discussion, Nover says one of the most rewarding aspects of the experience was being able to meet his fellow panelists. "There's a bunch of great artists—some of whom I'd known before, but some of whom I got a chance to know— and the opportunity, both on the panel and off—to talk shop and discuss the kind of issues that we all encounter. That was really interesting and fun," he says.
Nover's hoping to grab another spot on a panel discussion during next year's SXSW Interactive Festival, and will be keeping himself busy with teaching and creating until then. He's currently working on a book of comics and writings that he hopes to publish later this year, and is touring the East Coast as an MC for a live art competition called Super Art Fight. "We like to describe it as 'Pictionary meets pro wrestling'" he says.
Overall, Nover describes his time at the festival as "both fun and educational. It was edutainment," and looks forward to returning again in the future—panel host or not. Those interested in learning more about the SXSW Interactive Festival or other SXSW festival categories should visit http://www.SXSW.com for more information.

Johannesburg - In the Department of Social Development, economising means spending an amount of R15 143.82 on a single day's hire of an Audi Q3 for the minister.
Or R43 203 on three days' travel in an Audi Q7.
Or R22 575 on three days in a Mercedes S-Class.
Or about R30 000 on two Audi Q7s hired for the same four days travel for the same minister.
Or nearly R46 000 for two days in a BMW X5 for a deputy minister.
This is how the Social Development Department "reduced" spending on travel after promising to do following the urging of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.
The figures emerged among parliamentary replies to questions by the DA to various ministries on car hire spending.
DA transport spokesman Ian Ollis said R1.3 million was spent by the ministries of Social Development, Public Enterprises and Correctional Services between January 2012 and March last year.
This brings the total spent on vehicle rentals by President Jacob Zuma's cabinet and deputy ministers to R10.8 million in just over a year.
Some of the replies give slightly different periods for the spending.
The Social Development Ministry was the biggest spender of the three to most recently reply, spending R785 728 between the minister and deputy minister. These figures were from January 2012 to April 2013 for the minister, and to June 2013 for the deputy.
That ministry's car hire could have paid for a year's worth of monthly pensions for 51 war veterans. The department budgeted to pay 477 veterans last year.
In February last year, in the 2013/14 Budget, the ministry promised to review its policies on travel, accommodation, venues and communication "to ensure that spending on these non-core service delivery items is reduced" after cutting R62m from spending on goods and services.
Much of the spending is before then; however, the ministry's car hire since February last year listed six trips for a total of 16 days and a total cost of R120 510, or nearly R32 per kilometre.
Before that promised review, Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini hired an Audi Q7 for two weeks at R100 504 and also for 21 days at a cost of R80 419.
Dlamini's spokeswoman, Lumka Oliphant, said there were a number of reasons why the minister had the biggest bill out of all ministers in the cabinet.
"Firstly, we say as our pay-off line, siyaya emphakathini njalo (we go to communities regularly). Secondly, it's batho pele, or people first. The nature of the work in Social Development is working for the poor. The minister only has cars in Cape Town and Gauteng and has no cars in other provinces. She has gone to far-flung areas in all corners of the country," said Oliphant.
She said an advertisement in a newspaper could cost as much as R500 000 – far more expensive than community outreach.
"And you'll find that there are far fewer readers (of newspapers). The minister is talking to people, that's why," said Oliphant.
Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba spent R283 166 on hired vehicles.
Minister of Correctional Services S'bu Ndebele and his deputy Ngoako Ramatlhodi spent a total of R126 702.
Gigaba noted in his response that the general picture about car rentals is that rates vary from one car rental company to the other, "and huge delivery and collecting fees are also charged".
"These fees are charged if, for example, a car had to be taken to a far-off small town airport and be collected thereafter due to unavailability of such cars in those areas.
"Kilometres travelled also plays a major factor in the amount charged, and can be charged from R8 per km to R15 or more per km," said Gigaba.
Ollis said that in one instance, Gigaba rented a vehicle for just one kilometre and paid R2 381.79 for the trip.
"Although the minister argues that the rental was later cancelled, it remains unacceptable that R2 381.79 was paid for a car that was not used," said Ollis.
"When he came into office in 2009, President Zuma waxed lyrical about ensuring a reduction of wasteful expenditure," he added.
But the continued splurging by members of Zuma's cabinet "is indicative of a government that is not committed to cutting unnecessary costs".

Over-sized back fastening fisherman's smock with cabled heart detailing, striped pants and matching beanie kit baby out for a stroll on a windswept shore.
After much testing I have decided to release this as a free pattern with the following disclaimer:
The yarn I used is a wonderful felted single, it has a firm texture which this design requires, the yarn used will greatly affect the outcome of this pattern. The garment is loose fitting - it is more of an outdoor garment.
The pattern will ask you to do some things you may think unusual, if you are a very analytical knitter or need to have a line by line explanantion you may find this extremely frustrating.
I am afraid I do not have the time to answer questions on this pattern, I have been (nicely) pressured to release the pattern and the reason I have chosen to provide it free of charge is because some knitters have found this design challenging - I do not feel I could give my usual high level of service to knitters who purchased this pattern - therefore I do not want to sell it (if my convoluted logic makes sense!)
This garment has been test knitted by 13 people, any changes have been run past at least 5 of them before the changes were made. I agree that with more revisioning this pattern could be easier to knit - but I am over it!
So - please do not attempt to knit this sweater unless you have experience and can adjust a pattern if you feel it isn't working for you.

Point Mugu , California (Chumash: Muwu, "Beach" ) is an unincorporated community and geographical promontory on the Pacific Coast in Ventura County, near the town of Port Hueneme and the city of Oxnard. It is home to Point Mugu State Park, which boasts five miles of shoreline and more than 70 miles of hiking trails.[1] The name is believed to be derived from the Chumash Indian term "Muwu", meaning "beach", which was first mentioned by Cabrillo in his journals in 1542.[2] It is also a name applied to the nearby Naval Air Station—NAS Point Mugu—a test range facility known by various names over the years, including Pacific Missile Test Center and Naval Air Missile Test Center.

Marvel Superheroes
Lightning quick mutant
Powers: Hyperspeed: SH-X, Body Armor, Resistance Cold, Enhanced Metabolism
Name: Pietro Maximoff
Age: 28
Birthdate: March 6, 1987
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 175
Citizenship: Transian, American
Marital Status: Divorced
Pietro Maximoff was the son of the mutant called Magneto and the gypsy named Magda. Just prior to Pietro's birth, Magda fled from Magneto, terrified of the bizarre powers he suddenly manifested and his intentions of world domination. Seeking refuge in the scientific citadel of Wundagore in the Balkan Mountains of the tiny European nation of Transia, Magda was taken in by Bova, a humanoid cow evolved by the genetic engineer called the High Evolutionary. Magda gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, with Bova as her midwife, and named them Wanda and Pietro. Still afraid that her husband might find her and learn of the children, Magda left Bova a note explaining her fears and walked into the frozen mountain wilderness to perish.
Feeling that it was not right to raise two seemingly normal babies amid the evolved animal-men of Wundagore, Bova was relieved when, several nights later, an American couple, Robert and Madeline Frank, also came to Wundagore seeking assistance. The Franks were former super heroes active during World War II known as the Whizzer and Miss America; Madeline was now pregnant and about to give birth. Bova intended to give the couple the days-old twins to raise along with their own newborn. Unfortunately, the couple's child was stillborn and Madeline died from complications in giving birth. Bova presented Robert Frank with the twins, claiming they were his own natural children, in the hope that it would assuage his grief. Instead, Frank fled from Wundagore upon hearing of his wife's death, nearly insane with grief. (Years later, the children would come to believe for a time that Frank was their natural father).
Bova then presented the twins to her master, the High Evolutionary, who agreed to find foster human parents for them. He chose Django and Marya Maximoff, a gypsy couple camped nearby who had lost their own twin children, Ana and Mateo, during World War II. The Maximoffs accepted the strange gifts from the High Evolutionary and cared for the children as if they were their own. (Years later, the aging Django would mistakenly believe that Wanda and Pietro were his natural children Ana and Mateo).
As adolescents, Wanda and Pietro discovered that they had unusual superhuman abilities. When Django began to steal food to feed his starving family, enraged villagers attacked the gypsy camp. Using his phenomenal speed, Pietro fled from the camp with his sister. The circumstances of their separation from their family were so traumatic that not until well into adulthood could they remember anything but the barest details of their childhood. For the next few years Wanda and Pietro wandered central Europe, living off the land.
One day, Wanda accidentally caused a house to burst into flame through her hex powers, which she could not yet control. Superstitious townspeople began chasing her, thinking she was a witch. Despite Pietro's attempt to defend her, they were soon overpowered and were about to become victims of mob violence when Magneto came to their rescue1. Unaware that he was their natural father, Magneto pressed them into service in his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, costumed them, and named them the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. For months they served Magneto out of a sense of obligation and fear of his reprisal. As members of the Brotherhood, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch aided Magneto in his terrorist campaigns against humanity and helped him combat the original members of the X-Men23. Magneto did not realize Wanda and Pietro were his children, nor did they know he was their father.
When Magneto was defeated by the overwhelming powers of the alien Stranger, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch quit the Brotherhood; the Stranger transported Magneto away from Earth, and the Maximoff twins returned to Transia.
Pietro and Wanda sought refuge with the Avengers, a world-renowned team of super heroes. They were inducted along with Hawkeye to take the place of the charter members, who wished to take a leave of absence4. This foursome was nicknamed "Cap's Kooky Quartet". At first it was looked upon as less capable than the previous roster, but defeating Kang the Conqueror5, Doctor Doom, and other threats quickly proved their worth. Although the hot-tempered Quicksilver and Hawkeye often both rebelled against his orders, Avengers leader Captain America molded them into valuable team members.
Humanity's suspicion of mutants still rankled Quicksilver, and he briefly rejoined Magneto after the latter returned to Earth, compelling his sister to come with him. Months after the X-Men and Avengers defeated Magneto, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch resumed their membership in the Avengers.
Seriously injured during the Avengers' battle against the Sentinels, Quicksilver was taken to medical care by Crystal, a member of the royal family of the hidden race of Inhumans. Months passed before Quicksilver was well enough to contact his companions to tell them what had happened to him. During that time Quicksilver became romantically involved with Crystal, and the two married after a brief courtship. The Inhumans, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four attended the wedding, held in the Inhumans' refuge of Attilan, then located in the Himalayan Mountains.

Legendary Indian singer Shamshad Begum dies at 94
NEW DELHI (AP) — Legendary Indian singer Shamshad Begum has died. She was 94.
Her daughter Usha Ratra told the Press Trust of India news agency Wednesday that the singer had been unwell for some time. She died late Tuesday in Mumbai. No independent confirmation was immediately possible.
Begum began her singing career on radio in 1947, and her clear and pure voice touched the hearts of many listeners. She became one of the Indian movie industry's first playback singers, with several well-known actresses of her time lip-syncing to her songs.
She was reclusive and never posed for photographs and many of her fans saw only what she looked like in the 1970s.
Begum's songs from the 1950s to the early 1970s are popular and continue to be remixed by music directors today.

(NEW YORK) — The United Nations is reporting that thousands of Syrian refugees are seeking shelter in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, as many as 17,000 Syrians entered Iraq between last Thursday and Saturday, one of the largest influxes of people the country has dealt with during the 29-month-long conflict across the border.
One of the major reasons for the sudden wave of refugees is a spike in aggression against Syrian Kurds by militant groups with ties to al Qaeda and other radical Islamist organizations. The Kurds, who live primarily in northern Syria, make up 10 percent of the population.
The charity Save the Children, which is helping to bring relief supplies to the refugees, says "the main concern is that so many of them are stuck out in the open at the border or in emergency reception areas with limited, if any, access to basic services." At least half of the new influx of Syrians are children.
The U.N. estimates there are now 150,000 Syrian refugees in Iraq, with as many as two million having fled the civil war since March 2011.

"Today we will be pulling 65 dogs out of the San Bernardino shelter and that means their will be 65 less animals to worry about here, but there are so many other cute, great, loving dogs that people should come and check out and see if they can find a new family member" said Yehuda Netanel, Founder of Wings of Rescue.
People will have that chance this weekend.

There is an option to not install a graphical enviroment. Reinstall it and make sure you select it with a graphical enviroment. Otherwise, you'd better brush up on your greps and chmods.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to automatically remove rules that are used nowhere on my site. Is there a tool for that ?
Second, how do you manage to keep your CSS files organized after several weeks of development ? I always end up with a jungle and I find what I'm looking for with Firebug. Am I normal?
I have come across tools before that will strip-out unused CSS values or reorder them to remove duplicated sections, etc. Though it was several years back and it was on a per page basis.
I don't know if you are normal or not? But so long as you modularise and create a robust system/convention, which you stick to when planning you'll have fewer problems.
Try dust-me-selectors FF addon
I did and it's great! But how to make it clean my CSS files for me? I have tons of unused stuff and it will take hours to do it one by one..
It won't go through the CSS files and give you an updated one, it doesn't work magic :). However if you are willing to go through it all one by one (you can have both open side by side and slowly go down the list) then that's a possibility :).
Ok then, thank you very much.

Revision Rhinoplasty
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
This patient had undergone a rhinoplasty about 7 years ago. However, she was dissatisfied with her postoperative asymmetry and increased columellar show (one can see an excessive amount of the nostril on profile view). The patient had an overprojected tip with a residual fullness to her bridge. She also had collapse of her left middle nasal vault. I performed a revision rhinoplasty using the patient's septal cartilage. I was able to improve the tip projection, columellar show and middle third collapse while at the same time creating a more pleasing bridge line. After decreasing the patient's tip projection, her nostrils became excessively flared so I also performed an alar base excision by removing a small piece of tissue from the floor of the nostrils. The patient is shown about 3 months postoperatively and has expected residual tissue swelling, mainly of the nasal tip, that will continue to resolve over time.

(Irish woman died after denied abortion) Savita inquest told of repeated requests for termination
Source: Irish Times
Praveen Halappanavar has told the inquest into his wife Savita's death how she repeatedly asked doctors at University Hospital Galway for a termination, but this was refused because her foetus was still alive.
Mr Halappanavar said he and his wife asked consultant obstetrician Dr Katharine Astbury for a termination last October after learning that she was miscarrying at 17 weeks.
Ms Halappanavar died of septicaemia one week after being admitted to the hospital.
On the first day of the full inquest in Galway today, Mr Halappanavar spent 90 minutes reading his statement before Galway coroner Ciaran McLoughlin.

The first LBN thread I posted about the Savita story back in mid November got 141 recommendations. The inquest was the 2nd top story on the RTE Radio 1 hourly news I just heard this hour behind the death of former UK PM Thatcher.

10. There might be a question of malpractice
Fergal Bowers, health correspondent for RTE, who is live-tweeting the inquest, said Dr Astbury said there was no danger on Tuesday.
Inquest: Consultant obs, Dr Katherine Astbury will say termination not warranted on Tues Oct 23, as no threat to #Savitas life.
Really? Because what I learned from a lot of sources medical sources, especially Dr Jen Gunter on Twitter is that thats just flat-out false: a protracted miscarriage is always dangerous. Period. There isnt ambiguity about it. A dilated cervix is an open door to infection.
So if thats going to be the line that Astbury takes it looks like admitting stark malpractice. Or perhaps, more frighteningly, that Irish hospitals allow their standard of care to be warped by Catholic teachings.
Also via Butterflies and Wheels, the body which represents all Irish doctors doesn't want anything changed in their laws - outrageous:
IMO rejects motions on abortion
The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) has rejected a motion calling for regulation in relation to the provision of abortion where there is a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother.
In a heated and occasionally bad-tempered debate at the organisation's annual conference in Killarney, doctors also voted against a motion calling for legislation to allow abortion in Ireland in cases of rape or incest. They also voted against a motion calling on the Government to legislate for the provision of abortion for women with non-viable foetal abnormalities.
The session on the abortion motions was the best attended at the conference.
The three motions on abortion were proposed by Cork GP Dr Mary Favier.

4. One interesting point in a related story
The Health Service Executive has apologised for the care it gave to Savita Halappanavar and the events at Galway University Hospital that contributed to her death.
An actual apology, though they still used the phrase "contributed to" as opposed to more accurate "caused". But this is something you would NEVER see from a U.S. hospital.

5. The couple expected to be treated as humans. The ultrarich would have jetsetted for care elsewhere.
Although perhaps not technically of the poor, they got the same treatment, waiting for a recognition of equality that only money affords.

6. Is there any way we can get a picture of her
This woman is the new face of the pro-choice movement. We talk about women who died in back alley abortions; this woman died because she couldn't get any abortion.
This needs to be crammed down the throat of anyone who claims there's no medical need for an abortion. For chrissakes, when the fetus starts miscarrying get it out of there.

13. Savita Halappanavars inquest: the three questions that must be answered
Dr. Jen Gunter is an OB/GYN and a pain medicine physician:
Savita Halappanavar was admitted at on a Sunday to Galway hospital at 17 weeks into her pregnancy with ruptured membranes, a dilated cervix, and an elevated white blood cell count (a marker of infection). It is clear that her diagnosis was chorioamnionitis, an infection of the fetal membranes. When left untreated the bacteria of chorioamnionitis march across the umbilical cord into both the maternal and fetal circulation. Left untreated, the outcome is maternal death.
To not deliver a woman in such a high risk situation requires proof that she does not have an infection. This can only be accomplished with an amniocentesis, which is extracting amniotic fluid from around the fetus and testing it for signs of infection. The results take 1-2 hours.
Savita Halappanavars medical team tells a different story. The testimony of the consultant obstetrician was that Ms. Halappanavar was not sick enough to be allowed a termination on Tuesday according to the Irish legal position. However, there is clear evidence that she was rapidly deteriorating on the Tuesday evening. Ms. Halappanavars heart rate was 110 beats/minute and her widower reports that she was shivering and her teeth were chattering. Tachycardia (a rapid heart rate) and shaking chills and clear clinical signs that she was gravely ill.
If the answer is, as the consultant obstetrician suggests, that Ms. Halappanavar was simply not sick enough to warrant delivery then it appears that the current legal position in Ireland is that a woman must be left brewing her infection until the stench is bad enough that Death himself gets a whiff and comes calling.

text: Innovative online book player makes a big difference 11 September 2014 Although she has very poor vision, thanks to an innovative Online talking book player developed by Vision Australia, Lesley McEwan, 60 from Willoughby reads more than sixteen books per month. Lesley has poor sight due to cataracts. An operation to remove the cataract on her left eye left her vision foggy and she has a cataract on her right eye. She also has type-two diabetes and a heart condition that limits her mobility. "I really enjoy receiving audio books from Vision Australia. With the new player, I just have to call and they are automatically downloaded. It is much faster than waiting to receive CD's in the mail," says Leslie. The Online player was developed by Vision Australia to assist people with a print disability who do not have the capability or confidence to access online content. It involves bundling 3G (wireless broadband) internet technology into existing (DAISY) players that people are already familiar with. The player connects directly to Vision Australia's i-access© online library to access the wide range of books, newspapers, magazines and other topical information. The device is simple to use and the user does not need their own computer or internet connection. "With the majority of our clients being older and with difficulties accessing content on the internet, we needed to develop a solution that would provide online access to a greater variety of information in a user friendly and effective way," says Andrew Furlong, Technology Support Manager at the Vision Australia Library. "The 3G solution means that people can now get information immediately wherever they are on a device they are happy to use," he added. The Online audio book player will be demonstrated at Vision Australia's Texpo exhibition in October. Texpo showcases a range of Vision Australia services, including Seeing Eye Dogs, and the latest adaptive technology designed to assist people with vision impairments to live the lives they choose. It is a free event, which is open to the general public, people who are blind or have low vision, their friends and family, and industry professionals. In 2014, Texpo will take place at: Vision Australia Melbourne 454 Glenferrie Road, Kooyong on Friday 10 October, 10am – 4pm and Saturday 11 October, 10am – 3pm Vision Australia Sydney 4 Mitchell St, Enfield on Friday 17 October, 10am – 4pm and Saturday 18 October, 10am – 3pm For more information call Vision Australia on 1300 84 74 66 visit www.visionaustralia/texpo or email firstname.lastname@example.com Media Release TEXPO Lesley McEwan

Franklin Passes Commission Spending Moratorium
By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
Franklin County will be cracking down on future travel and travel expenses for county commissioners.
At the Franklin County Commission meeting Monday, Commission Vice-Chair Clint Harper said the county is paying too much for commissioners attending seminars and meetings in other cities.
Harper said one commissioner in particular, whom he did not name, was responsible for charging the county $10,000 in expenses for attending conventions and training in other cities this year alone.
Harper says he thinks the county needs to put a moratorium on training and travel unless it's mandatory for the rest of the year.
Harper also asked that county manager Billy Morse include a list of monthly travel and training expenses by commissioners in with his monthly financial report. Harper said it's important that all activities by the board be transparent and open.
Harper said the spending and moratorium would extend through the end of the year.
Both requests were put in the form of a motion by Harper and seconded by county commissioner Jeff Jacques.
The motions passed unanimously 4-0 with commissioner Angela Whidby absent.

When I set off on my Zanzibar vacation, it never occurred to me that Stone Town would be a highlight of the trip. I had done some research on what activities to do on the island and, of course, Stone Town - a World Heritage Site - was on the list. I didn't expect too much from it - I was focused on experiencing as many ocean and beach-based activities as possible. I thought a quick afternoon tour of Stone Town would be enough.
Boy, was I wrong!
Africa Safari Exper Anja and I left the airport and headed through the city, my fascination for Stone Town was ignited. I suppose it was a combination of what I could see out our minibus window (streets packed with taxis, scooters, bicycles and pedestrians) and what our fabulous guide Solomon told us about Zanzibari culture. Settling back into our drive to the Hideaway of Nungwi Resort, I knew I wanted time to explore the streets of Stone Town.
We visited Stone Town twice during our vacation and I still could not get enough of it. The Stone Town experience is difficult to explain but I found these quotes from the World Heritage website very appropriate:
The Stone Town of Zanzibar is an outstanding material manifestation of cultural fusion and harmonization.
For many centuries there was intense seaborne trading activity between Asia and Africa, and this is illustrated in an exceptional manner by the architecture and urban structure of the Stone Town.
Zanzibar has great symbolic importance in the suppression of slavery, since it was one of the main slave-trading ports in East Africa and also the base from which its opponents such as David Livingstone conducted their campaign.
I took dozens of photographs while walking through this cultural melting-pot and have shared some of my favourites below. I have also added a few comments on where they were taken and what I wanted to captured in the moment I took them.
This picture was taken outside a shop from which I had just bought a handmade cotton shirt. Bicycles are one of the main forms of transport in Stone Town and they regularly caught my attention as we walked through the streets. I took this picture because I liked the simplicity of the scene (above left).
At the end of a busy afternoon in Stone Town, we stopped at a coffee shop to sample some real Tanzanian coffee. The inside of the shop was very simple with two sets of tables and chairs. Behind the counter were a coffee machine and a selection of coffees. There was nothing sophisticated about this place at all but that's what I loved about it - pure, timeless simplicity (above right).
A lot of buildings in Stone Town look like this. The stone work is cracked, plaster is falling off in patches and, thanks to high levels of humidity, mould grows all over the walls BUT there is no way to know what comforts, beauty and elegance lie beyond the rustic exterior. In true villa style, the exterior gives no hint to the cool courtyards beyond. I loved the sense of mystery - what exactly is going on behind that green door?
If you walk through Stone Town, you must visit the old fort to see local craftsmen at work. Anja bought a couple of things from this man (above left) and asked him to do an engraving on one of the boats. He cheerfully obliged and was more than happy for us to watch him work. Keep an eye out for these highly skilled, traditional craftsmen: they create beautiful works of art and are worth supporting.

I also found this artist in the old fort (below right) He was working on a large canvas painting and the shop was full of his works. I loved the vibrant colours and intricate detailing. This is the type of painting you'd want to take home with you to remember your Zanzibar vacation.
There is a shop in Stone Town called Memories which is where we found these traditional Kenyan kikoys. While these products are made on the mainland, the shop is a popular attraction because it offers fixed pricing on all goods - no need to haggle! The stores aren't the only Stone Town shopping experience: hit the streets on a guided walking tour for a full taste of what the local artisans produce. Most walking tours of Stone Town include a visit to a local weaver's workshop where you can see a traditional cotton loom in action and buy cloth and clothing spun on the island.

Dunedin police say the Yuletide spirit was lacking in the city on Christmas Day, with officers dealing with a disappointing amount of criminal activity.
Senior Sergeant Kelvin Lloyd said the criminal activity started off with a suspicious fire next to a metal skip in Port Chalmers at 4.30am and then another which destroyed the Waitati bus shelter not long after.
At 5.30am police responded to reports of offenders throwing bricks and rocks through car windows in South Dunedin. Offenders had also broken into cars and taken items in the Kirkcaldy St area, Snr Sgt Lloyd said. He said the Christmas spirit ''seemed to be sadly lacking in Dunedin'' with the amount of offending reported similar to a normal weekday.
''We were disappointed with the amount of criminal offending that was happening on Christmas Day. It was really disappointing to see that we could not manage a relatively crime-free day on what should be one of the quietest days of the year for us,'' he said.

This guide assumes familiarity with the general clustering guide.
Using RabbitMQ on EC2 is quite similar running it on other platforms. However, the are certain minor aspects to EC2 that need to be accounted for. They primarily have to do with hostnames and their resolution.
This guide uses traditional RabbitMQ clustering. It is worth noting that alternative solutions are available and can be more suitable for automation:
Pivotal currently does not provide AMI images with RabbitMQ pre-provisioned. RabbitMQ works well on up-to-date Ubuntu and CentOS AMIs.
First, you need to choose what instance type to run. RabbitMQ will work on every instance type, but there are a few considerations worth bearing in mind:
Although RabbitMQ is tested with most major Linux distributions, Ubuntu support for Amazon EC2 seems to be strongest. You can get the list of Ubuntu AMI images here:
http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/You may find more information in Ubuntu EC2 Starters Guide.
Ubuntu ships with RabbitMQ but it's often not the latest version. If you want the recent version, you may use our Debian repository. Here is a shell script rabbitmq-user-data.sh that automates RabbitMQ installation on Ubuntu:
#!/bin/sh cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main EOF curl https://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc -o /tmp/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc apt-key add /tmp/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc rm /tmp/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc apt-get -qy update apt-get -qy install rabbitmq-server
Instead of running it manually, you can tell the instance to run this script automatically during the first start. You can do it using the user-data-file command line option for the ec2-run-instances command. For example:
ec2-run-instances ami-XXX \ --key ${EC2_KEYPAIR} \ --instance-type m1.large \ --region eu-west-1 \ --user-data-file rabbitmq-user-data.shPut your chosen AMI id in the place of ami-XXX. The string ${EC2_KEYPAIR} should be replaced with the public ssh keypair name that is going to be used to log in to the instance. You can find more information about ec2-run-instances command in EC2 Getting Started Guide.
RabbitMQ writes data to the following directories on Ubuntu:
If you choose to use EBS block device to store RabbitMQ node data directory, just link these directories to your EBS device. Stop RabbitMQ before making any changes to the data directory:
sudo service rabbitmq-server stop
Note that EBS volumes have an IOPS limits, which can impact thoughput and RabbitMQ message store operations. If an EBS volume hits the limit, disk writes will worsen. It is also possible that the RabbitMQ message store compaction (garbage collection of on-disk data) can fall behind disk writes, which means the disk will be filled up quicker than disk space can be reclaimed after messages were consumed and acknowledged. This will eventually lead to resource alarms and publisher throttling. Please make sure the limit is high enough and set up I/O operation rate monitoring.
The broker creates a user guest with password guest. Unconfigured clients will in general use these credentials. By default, these credentials can only be used when connecting to the broker as localhost so you will need to take action before connecting from any other machine.
See the documentation on access control for information on how to create more users, delete the guest user, or allow remote access to the guest user.
RabbitMQ nodes use hostnames to communicate with each other. Therefore, all node names must be able to resolve names of all cluster peers. This is also true for tools such as rabbitmqctl.
In addition to that, by default RabbitMQ names the database directory using the current hostname of the system. If the hostname changes, a new empty database is created. To avoid data loss it's crucial to set up a fixed and resolvable hostname. Whenever the hostname changes you should restart RabbitMQ:
$ /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server restart
A similar effect can be achieved by using rabbit@localhost as the broker nodename. The impact of this solution is that clustering will not work, because the chosen hostname will not resolve to a routable address from remote hosts. The rabbitmqctl command will similarly fail when invoked from a remote host. A more sophisticated solution that does not suffer from this weakness is to use DNS, e.g. Amazon Route 53 if running on EC2. If you want to use the full hostname for your nodename (RabbitMQ defaults to the short name), and that full hostname is resolveable using DNS, you may want to investigate setting the environment variable RABBITMQ_USE_LONGNAME=true.
See the hostname resolution guide for more information.
The case for firewalled clustered nodes exists when nodes are in a data center or on a reliable network, but separated by firewalls. Again, clustering is not recommended over a WAN or when network links between nodes are unreliable.
In the most common configuration you will need to open a number of standard ports:
All nodes in a cluster must run the same minor version of Erlang: 19.3.4 and 19.3.6 can be mixed but 19.0.1 and 19.3.6 (or 17.5 and 19.3.6) cannot. Compatibility between individual Erlang/OTP patch versions can vary between releases but that's generally rare.
If you have any comments please let us know.

The new Olympic Channel brings you news, highlights, exclusive behind the scenes, live events and original programming, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
The various legacies enjoyed by Olympic host cities such as Barcelona, Vancouver and London are well documented, but the process of bidding to host the Games can also lead to numerous long- and short-term benefits for the cities involved, and in Chicago's case, an excellent youth-engagement programme.
Chicago, for example, was one of the candidate cities for the 2016 Olympic Games, which were eventually awarded to Rio de Janeiro. Although the American city missed out on the chance to host the Games, it was able to use the candidature process to create a youth sports organisation that encourages children in Chicago to participate in sport, while also using sport to address wider social issues and teach positive values and leadership.
"They [Chicago's Candidature leaders] decided very early on that there would be a legacy of the candidature, win or lose, that got more kids in Chicago involved in more Olympic sports," explains Patrick Sandusky, Chief Communications Officer of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and a member of the Chicago 2016 bid committee.
The result was the World Sport Chicago (WSC) organisation, which was created in 2006, when Chicago was vying with Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Houston to be chosen by USOC as the United States' applicant city for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Six years after its formation – and despite Chicago missing out on the race to host the 2016 Games – WSC is still going from strength-to-strength and has so far worked with more than 30,000 local youth by introducing them to new sports such as archery, athletics and wrestling, providing coaching and training opportunities and launching a scholarship programme to reward young people who demonstrate a commitment to Olympic values.
WSC has also created a highly innovative programme called B.A.M. (Becoming a Man) Sports Edition – a project that tackles the issue of youth violence and seeks to provide a safe and engaging environment for at-risk male students in some of Chicago's most challenged neighbourhoods.
Over the last 30 years, sustainability has become an increasingly important consideration when staging the Olympic Games. With that in mind, Olympic host cities must consider the environmental impact of the Games during their planning.
The same is true of cities that are bidding to stage the Games and many have been able to use unsuccessful Olympic candidatures to drive a series of sustainability initiatives and create environmental legacies that have outlasted their initial bids and created long-term benefits for their local regions.
Sion, for example, submitted candidatures for both the 2002 and 2006 Olympic Winter Games, which were awarded to Salt Lake City and Torino respectively. The small city, which is the capital of the Swiss canton of Valais, decided to make the environment a central focus of its bids for both the 2002 and 2006 Winter Games.
"In our 2002 bid, we had included the four mandatory pages concerning the environment in our candidature document but we also provided a much longer document that we called the 'Sion 2002 Green Book' about our efforts to implement environment initiatives in the canton," explains Professor Jean-Loup Chappelet, the Technical Director of Sion's 2002 and 2006 bids. "The IOC had appreciated this 'Green Book', and so when we decided to bid again for 2006, we decided to go full steam [ahead] with sustainability."
In order to develop its sustainability activities, the Sion 2006 Candidature Committee created a "Department for Sustainable Development", which oversaw the adoption of the canton's own Agenda 21 – following similar environmental action plans adopted by the United Nations and the IOC.
The department also put forward plans for the creation of the Fondation pour le Développement Durable des regions de Montagne (FDDM) – a non-profit organisation in charge of coordinating the inception and execution of sustainable development projects across the region.
Since its formation on the back of Sion's Olympic bid in 1999, some of the projects that have been successfully implemented by the FDDM include the organisation of 'slowUp Valais' – an annual mass participation sport event for families – and the development of Ecostation, a toolkit for local resorts that aim to attain standards for sustainable tourism. As recognition for its work, the FDDM has also received ISO 9000 and 14001 certifications for its activities and is also a member of the Network of European Regions committed to the issue of Sustainable Tourism (NECSTouR).
Many Olympic host cities have been able to use the Games as a chance to improve their image and increase their profile on the world stage. Turin, for example, used the 2006 Winter Games to shed its industrial image and promote itself as a new tourist and business destination by showcasing its rich history, culture and high-tech industry to the world.
Some cities have also been able to use the Olympic Games Candidature Process in the same way. The French city of Lille, for example, enjoyed a considerable boost to its global profile after bidding for the 2004 Olympic Games, which were eventually awarded to Athens.
While Lille did not make it on to the final list of five candidate cities, it had demonstrated its desire and ability to host major international events.
According to Nathan Starkman, General Director of Lille's Development and Urbanisation agency, the most significant impact of the city's Olympic Candidature was its contribution to the change of perception of Lille, both in France and overseas.
This improved image and heightened profile encouraged Lille's successful bid to become to the 2004 European Capital of Culture – an event that brought a sizeable economic boost for the city, with a 30 per cent increase in tourist visitors during 2004.
Today, the annual number of tourists in Lille remains much higher than 10 years ago, with the city attracting visitors through numerous events organised as part of the Lille 3000 initiative, which was launched as a follow-up to the European Capital of Culture.
In 2011, the city hosted three art and scientific exhibitions, including a collection of works from the Saatchi Gallery in London, while it also staged the IAAF World Youth Athletics Championships, the FIH Men's Champions Challenge II in field hockey and the 5th European Universities Rugby Sevens Championships.
Some of the most visible legacies in an Olympic host city are the sporting venues that are built or redeveloped to stage the Games, but some cities have also been able to use unsuccessful Olympic candidatures to create new facilities for their residents, providing numerous long-term benefits.
Manchester, for example, submitted candidatures for both the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, which were awarded to Atlanta and Sydney respectively. As part of its candidature commitments, the city had already started construction on a new National Cycling Centre and the Victoria Arena. Although it missed out on the chance to host the Olympic Games, both venues were completed and have since become world-class facilities that have hosted major international events – such as the 2002 Commonwealth Games – and contributed to both the local economy and the long-term regeneration of Manchester.
"We would not have accomplished what we have in Manchester today without the two Olympic bids," explains Eamonn O'Rourke, Head of Community and Cultural Services at Manchester City Council (MCC). "It certainly would not have been possible within a certain pre-defined period of time and without the same focus."
The first venue to open was the National Cycling Centre – a 3,500-seat indoor track cycling arena that was completed in 1994. In addition to the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the venue has also hosted the UCI Track Cycling World Championships three times, as well as numerous UCI Track Cycling World Cup events.
Members of the public are also able to use the facility on a daily basis, while it has also become the permanent home of the British cycling team, which has gone from strength to strength since the opening of the National Cycling Centre, winning 53 track cycling medals at the 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.
"The presence of the track helped our organisation to centralise its operations both at elite and at grassroots level from Manchester," explains Ian Drake, CEO of British Cycling. "The track at the NCC and the availability of funding have transformed the success of British riders in major championships and the Olympic Games."
Manchester's Victoria Arena, meanwhile, was originally planned as the gymnastics venue if the 2000 Olympic Candidature was successful. Now known as the MEN Arena, the 21,000-capacity facility opened in 1995 and has since become one of the busiest concert arenas in the world, playing host to the likes of U2 and Beyoncé. In total, the venue stages between 100 and 150 events per year, including heavyweight boxing contests and elite ice hockey and basketball matches.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission held a
public meeting at the Hershey Lodge Wednesday night to discuss a report to
decommission, or tear down Three Mile Island's Unit 2. The reactor at the center
of the nation's worst nuclear power plant accident.
A plan that could take affect decades from now was
the topic of discussion at a public meeting hosted by the U.S. Regulatory
Commission Wednesday night.
A plan that if put into place would change the
face of Three Mile Island.
It was submitted by First Energy Corp., the
company which ones Unit 2. The reactor at the center of the nation's worst
nuclear power plant accident back in 1979.
99% of the radioactive material has been removed.
Unit 2 has been shutdown since the accident.
The plan, officially called the, Post Shutdown
Decommissioning Activities Report, calls for Unit 2 to remain in it's dormant
state until the year 2034. That is when active Unit 1's license expires.
Decommissioning would continue about a decade
later, and end with both units basically demolished by about 2055.
However, it all may not happen. According to
Exelon Spokesperson Ralph DeSantis, the company operating Unit One.
The license could be renewed, "It's just too
early," DeSantis said.
Those at First Energy said the decommission on
Unit 2 will only begin once the other reactor is out of service as well.
At Thursday's meeting those with the NRC wanted to
hear from the public. While the plan discussed the future, some upset residents
and activists chose to discuss the past.
"The irony, the insult of the accident is that very few people around
here ever derive any electrical benefit and we are still dealing with it 35
years later." Eric Epstein with the watchdog group Three Mile Island
Alert said.

Peter Shukoff (a.k.a. Nice Peter) and Lloyd Ahlquist (a.k.a. EpicLLOYD) test the boundaries of time with their YouTube series, "Epic Rap Battles of History," in which the two comedians stage unlikely duets between historical figures and pop culture icons like Babe Ruth versus Captain Kirk. In the final installment of our three-part interview, Peter and Lloyd explain their creative process, what they're working on for Season 3, and how they are able to make a living on YouTube.
What's the hardest part about portraying these different characters?
Lloyd: For me, Babe Ruth ended up being really hard. There are a lot of pictures of him and there are some radio recordings, but he's not a classic voice outside of his face and his looks…That was kind of hard. Or, on the other side of that, Captain Kirk is such a huge character, that people are going to be judging you based on your impression of him. I watched [comedian] Kevin Pollak over and over and over again — his impression of Captain Kirk was so great. I think when it's really solid or really vague, those two extremes are the hardest part for me.
Peter: The hardest part for me is how much it will affect my week. We really jump into these people and we learn everything we possibly can about them. It's interesting that Lloyd mentioned Babe Ruth. I had a tough time with Lance Armstrong. His story is kind of troubling and his personality is really aggressive. I'm in the recording studio, just like, getting angry and carrying this character around – it's an interesting switch every two weeks to jump into a different mindset.
Can you give me a preview of what's coming up for the next season?
Peter: There will be 12 more rap battles. Hm…what can I say? We know that there are going to be some special guests and that we are going to return to our roots by doing awesome characters from history. There's a fan forum that sprung up separate from us where people really discuss these videos in depth, and we're going on there and joining in their conversation a little bit to see…from the audience itself on what to do for this next season and where to go with it. We don't know yet. All this summer is our time to creatively stew. Once we hit September, it's going to be an all-out sprint.
Our readers ask us all the time, how do you make a living on YouTube?
Peter: Anytime somebody watches something, advertisers are interested. YouTube did a really smart, innovative thing by integrating ads into their platform. Every time you watch that 15-second ad before one of our videos, you're supporting what we do. We're able to do it well enough to get enough views that it supports the project…we're able to make a good, honest living that we can keep track of and feel good about. We know that it comes from real people. There's no one dumping cash into us. The audience supports what we do by watching our videos, buying our songs, and buying our t-shirts.

Applicants should be aware prior to applying to the BSN Program as well as prior to entering the BSN Program that the Board of Nursing may refuse to license a person who has been found guilty or pleaded guilty to felony charges. The Board of Nursing application for licensure asks, "Have you been convicted of a misdemeanor, felony; felonious act; an illegal act associated with alcohol, an illegal act associated with substance abuse(s)?" Applicants should seriously consider this condition for licensure. Practice of deceit in the submission of criminal background checks and child abuse clearance forms is cause for dismissal.
