Keep BYU-University of Utah game
lost in DC West Jordan, UTApril 13, 2012 4:15 p.m.
I think Utah should approach BYU with the same attitude BYU used on USU.
The Y fans were always saying - "it's a no-win to play USU, if we win we were supposed to and if we lose, it's a reputational nightmare"
the U can rightfully say the same about BYU.
Y fans said of USU, "we hold a 10 game lead in the series, it's not even close, we outclass them"
Utah has a 20+ game lead in the series with BYU.
isn't the Y demanding a 2 for 1 with USU? the U should do the same with the Y.
I'm with 1aggie, the U can rotate between USU and BYU
Informed Voter South Jordan, UTApril 12, 2012 12:27 a.m.
I would not miss the game either. The bad behavior by fans has killed my interest in the game.
atl134 Salt Lake City, UTApril 11, 2012 4:32 p.m.
"You do realize don't you that in every sport where BYU played Utah, BYU has won every contest for two years except in football?"
False. Utah won gymnastics both years. Utah women's basketball last year beat BYU en route to winning the mountain west tournament. There's probably other things you got wrong too, I just listed the ones I know from memory.
4601 Salt Lake City, UTApril 11, 2012 4:20 p.m.
Wishful non-thinking about the Conference of Championes from Chris the denier.
Hank Pym SLC, UTApril 11, 2012 4:19 p.m.
I'd rather The U keep the rivalry w/ Utah St.
1aggie SALT LAKE CITY, UTApril 11, 2012 3:51 p.m.
I think it makes sense for Utah to play an instate rival each year, but why not play BYU every third year (with Utah Sate and Weber State added to the mix)?
Mountanman Hayden, IDApril 11, 2012 2:48 p.m.
@ Chris B. You do realize don't you that in every sport where BYU played Utah, BYU has won every contest for two years except in football? So much for Pac 12 superiority! It doesn't exist!
atl134 Salt Lake City, UTApril 11, 2012 2:05 p.m.
@Chris B.
"But this game is now only the #8th or 9th most exciting game on our schedule."
As a Ute student, that idea is absolutely absurd. There might be a year where USC (or insert some strong PAC-12 south team) is higher, an Oregon or Stanford type undefeated team from the north is higher, a PAC-12 championship game would be higher, and a strong bowl game would be higher. So if we have an extremely good season the BYU game might be 5th most exciting. However, most years it'll be one of the three most exciting games.
The notion that BYU is a gimme is absurd, recent history will show that BYU has consistently been among the top 60 or so schools. Why does 60 matter? Because there are approximately 60 BCS schools, the thing you care about so much and as such you concede the idea that roughly 60 out of the 110 D1 schools are legitimate football programs. Therefore, since they are top 60, BYU would be one of them.
Alex Salt Lake City, UTApril 11, 2012 9:28 a.m.
Please, let it die. The ridiculous behavior exhibited by BOTH University's fans is embarrassing.
Chris B Salt Lake City, UTApril 11, 2012 8:36 a.m.
The reality of being in a BCS league is that playing "non-AQ" competition is less than desirable. Sure, we need a gimme game to start every season, and perhaps byu can fill that void.
But this game is now only the #8th or 9th most exciting game on our schedule.
Colorado is our rival. And we're in a BCS league.
Sorry, we're moving on.
Good luck in your WAC pursuit again this year, I think you have a good shot.
MarkMAN West Columbia, TXApril 11, 2012 7:40 a.m.
Of all the pros and cons for BYU to leave the Mountain West (WAC) teams behind, by far the best and most important change was, finally, the very real possibility that UTAH and BYU would end their competition. Why? Go and read. Now a continuation in baseball or softball or gymnastics or other minor sports certainly would be good.
The sad part about these changes is the loss of Wyoming and CSU and Air Force. Those were great and long-time opponents minus a couple of years. Well AF wasn't so long still great. I have a very good friend who was the noise-guard at Wyoming during those tense 60's. His stories are more than interesting, they are critical to our understanding.
Hopefully, the competition will end. It will be GOOD for both.

Radical Guide to Bonds: Comparing the Options - Bonds vs. Bond Funds vs. Bond ETFs
This guide is about smart and low-cost means to invest. It is hard to say what is the lowest cost solution for exposure to the bond market. It is not straightforward. You've got to weigh a number of factors. Let's put these into the following table:
|Bond Ladder
|Indexed Bond Fund
|Bond ETF
|Tax Events - Interest
|Tax Events - Capital
|Possible, but small
|Cashflow Certainty
|Mostly certain
|Initial Transaction Costs
|Known, if controlled with selling groups, auctions and use of online brokers
|Known commission
|Known commission
|Ongoing Trade Costs
|Some at redemption
|Not known fully
|Not known fully
|Credit Risk
|Interest Risk
|Yes, opportunity cost from rising rates
|Yes, NAV likely drops below initial cost
|Yes, ETF price likely drops below initial cost
|Loss of Invested Capital
|Possible from credit event
|Possible from credit event and sell-off
|Possible from credit event and sell-off
Instead, in looking at a couple of factors, we can say:
- Cashflow certainty. A bond ladder is designed for the complete cashflow certainty. If it weren't, why would any investor bother with it? Funds vehicles are less certain with respect to their cashflows.
- Trade Costs. With funds and ETFs, ongoing costs are not fully known, upfront. With ladders, costs are known before the trade so long as the investor can always purchase product through selling groups and auctions.
- Diversification. Best diversification is in the indexed bond funds and ETFs; the least amount of diversification is with bond ladders.
- Risk - Interest. If rates rise, and bond values fall, what happens? For funds and ETFs investors, with higher rates, they will likely experience a drop in NAVs and realize some underperformance. For ladders, the investor is missing out on investing in the whole ladder at higher rates. We term that an opportunity cost.
- Loss of Invested Dollars (principal). All three vehicles may experience selloff in the market or credit events, resulting in losses. No one can predict the levels going forward.
We have covered a lot of territory. Our guide opens only a small window on the bond markets. We only touched upon retail investing, but many institutions drive this market.
And while the markets remain clouded for the retail investor, we hope that we have shed some light on low-cost trading opportunities.

* Prices may differ from that shown
The Canon Pixma MP495 is Canon's entry level multifunction colour inkjet printer that can print, copy and scan, in essence an all in one printer.
Being an entry level printer, means you get the bare basics such as – a 100 sheet capacity paper holder, two ink cartridges and a few buttons. A big bonus is that the printer comes with wireless connectivity, which means you can easily print anything over wifi! On the downside is the lack of USB/ Pictbridge support but that's not an issue at this price point.
On the design and looks front, the Pixma MP495 comes in piano black and is quite sturdy. There is a basic LCD screen which shows basic information such as number of pages to print as well as a cool wifi LED light that glows blue when Wifi is connected. Things are very simple and usable. The buttons themselves are big and easy to press. No issues here!
As far as print quality goes, all my printing is confined to printing everything except photos. As such the print speeds are reasonable at 8 pages per minute for colour documents to about 14 pages per minute for black and white documents. On investigating the quality of prints, they are indeed of high quality. Using the default settings, all text appears as jet black and smooth with no pixilation. The same applies for colour prints, and the colours produced are vibrant.
Scanning on the other hand is a little on the slower side. While the quality is great at 2400dpi, it takes about 12 seconds for a scan at 600 dpi, making a higher quality scan a bit longer.
To complement the printer, is the Canon Solution Menu EX software on CD. It's easy to install, simple to use and provides full control of the printer and scanner.
In all, this printer is great for home/ college use. It has some great features such as wireless connectivity for easy printing; it looks great in piano black and comes at a great price. On the minus side, the black ink can be quite costly so it's best to shop around or see if you can get your ink cartridge refilled.
I spent days searching for a printer, I wanted one that had decent reviews, wasn't going to cost the earth and the main thing was the ink cartridges shouldn't be expensive to replace / refill.
I managed to find the MP495 for just £40 when I bought it from Amazon. I didn't think this was a bad price. Similar printers seemed to be costing around £70 or £80 so to find one that was half the price, with decent reviews was just what I wanted.
+++Ink costs+++
I pay around £15 for a set of ink for this printer which isn't a bad price. I do get them from a local store but the amount of times I have to do this is tiny as I don't tend to print much.
The printer does come with a printing application, from my experience, these applications are fine if you are unfamiliar with printer settings or computers in general. I only ever load the printer driver as the applications slow down a computer for something that I rarely use.
It is something else that needs to be loaded before I can browse my emails. The printer will work fine by using just the printer driver but you do need to have a little knowledge of how to change printer settings through "Printers and Faxes".
The application is good for monitoring toner but that is about it! By installing it, you slow your computer down for very little reward in my opinion.
This printer has more tape on it than I have ever seen. The printer was very well packaged but every lid or section that can open was taped down. I found this overkill as the printer couldn't move in the box but I suppose if it reduces "dead on arrival" issues then this is a worthwhile precaution.
After removing all of the tape, inserting the print cartridges and installing the printer on my computer, I was ready to go. It took me around 20 minutes. This is an average - slow time for me to install a printer but I wouldn't say it was excessive.
If I was on a customers site installing this printer, I would have had a different attitude as anything over 10 minutes is stopping me from getting to my next job.
The printer has some good features, the main few are the ability to copy and scan, and also the fact that you can print to it wirelessly through a wi-fi connection. The scanner and the copier are ok but I haven't used them a great deal. This feature is quite slow and does take a while, but the picture quality can be altered and the image is clear.
For £40, having the ability to scan and copy aswell as print wirelessly is fantastic. Many more expensive printers don't have this ability.
The printer is very easy to setup wireless. The printer scans for a wireless network, you enter your wireless password and you are away. That is about all there is to it.
To print to it, you must install the printer driver to each device, but the handy CD that comes with the printer walks you through this.
It takes 5 minutes to set this feature up, something that I was astounding by. I was expecting this to be a nightmare from past experiences.
For the price I am extremely happy with it because of what I paid. If I had paid more for it I would have been a little disappointed.
The overall feel to the printer is quite cheap and I feel if it was dropped or something dropped onto it, the printer would shatter into a million pieces.
I also don't like how long it takes to "warm up". You must wait a few minutes (literally!!) before you can print. This can be tedious as I always turn my printer off as I rarely use it. I recommend, turning it on and going to make a coffee.
However I can look past the above due to the price, and the print quality. The printer does print quality documents whether they are photos or spreadsheets!
My Grandmother purchased this for myself and my family for Christmas 2011 and has so far been used nearly everyday for general printing and for scanning/photocopying as well as printing a few photo's although not too many.
It costs around £79.99 in most places (e.g. Argos Curry's etc) although my Grandmother managed to get ours half price in Argos.
I wanted to review this a lot as although its quite cheap for what you get and has some issues, it is one of the best out there (in my opinion). The inks and paper for the printer are generally the same price as other models usually between £20 and £25 depending on where you go and what you want.
As I've said before I am not computer minded do this is more about ease of use with a little computer jargon mixed in.

Easy-Web Print EX
Compact & stylish glossy black design
Also has cabled computer access and mains lead.
Also comes with a black and coloured mini inks.
Mine also came with a national warranty and I also purchased an extended warranty of £30 for 5 years cover.
The first thing I noticed was that for the size of the printer (17ins W x 13ins D x 6ins H) the box was enormous!!! For those of us who don't like lots of packaging and polystyrene BEWARE it just kept coming out!!!
Design wise it is nice very compact and small and able to sit on top of one of my kitchen cupboards. The parts that fold out to hold the paper before and after printing are folded away neatly and there are no parts sticking out to less chances of breakages ( always good with 3 little ones)
It is made from a black gloss like plastic while the control panel is a matt black slightly rougher plastic. It does of course have the word 'CANON' in silver across the front.
The control panel is nicely laid out and easy to use along with the on/off button there is the buttons for you to choose your paper type ( A4plain, A4 photo or 10x15 photo papers), scan and photocopy options, ink and other settings and page count, and finally the ink levels. There is also a digital display showing page number and said ink levels.
Set up is quite easy and you are guided through it well, the printer comes with a disk and it's the basic follow the steps routine, although the set up is different for Mac to windows, (I have windows). I did find that you had to use the internet cable to set up although at the end you can set up Wi-Fi. This step took around 10-15 minutes and was easy to follow the only thing was that I forgot to get paper and had to find some for the tester!!!
Saying that it was very quick to turn on and just using.
A point here is that with mine I kept being asked to fill out surveys, forms, and questionnaires but I did eventually manage to disable that feature.
A mini menu is also installed on the computer this includes 'auto-scan', 'layout print', and 'photo print', this is where you can also go to main menu to change settings etc.
I have used both A4 normal and A4 photo paper in the machine.
In all honesty in is very basic to work you slide up the paper holder and insert paper, at this stage you can adjust the sliders to the width of the paper, and then also fold out front part (if you forget the machine does it itself) and then select the print options on your computer, the speed it prints is probably slightly quicker than average and the wording comes out nice and clear although still slightly wet. Of course you need it to be set up either wirelessly or through the cable to print.
Of course when I used the photo paper I do tend to leave it slightly longer to avoid runs etc.
Again like the printing option is it so easy to use that it's silly!
The top of the printer lifts up to reveal the scanner/printer and has adjustable hinges for think albums, papers etc.
Again to fill the paper slot and choose desired width, put the required item for photocopying on the copier, close the lid and select the number of copies etc from the control panel. Like the photocopier part if you forget to open the front it opens it itself.
The quality again was good and there was no colour loss or smudging.
Too use this feature is pretty much like using the photocopy option meaning that you basically do the same procedure but choose a different option on the computer and panel, this is the one I have used mainly photo paper for. Again the quality was high and it was quick to use.
Like I said it comes with 2 mini inks and these seemed to last a good length of time roughly a month with constant use, I have purchased a new set and these were in the region of £15-£25 for each depending on the shop etc although CANON are the cheapest.
I did think at first that it was going to be hard to use/set up etc but to be honest it is very simple to use, my children have been able to use it for school work and printing things from cBeebies etc. It looks good in my kitchen and can be stored away easily due to its size; it even remembers to open the front for you!!
I do like it and the price paid was very well spent, although I can't decide if I would have paid full price. The ink goes and long way and is relatively cheap for the length of time it lasts.
I only had a limited budget for a printer so was pleased to see this on special offer at Argos for £35 reduced from £70, this printer is still reduced at quite a few shops as of the date this review was written.
As an all-in-one, it prints, scans and copies. Its a bit of a Jack of all trades so it isn't wonderful at any but is functional enough at all three for most casual users.
The setup is very straightforward, I used a Mac which often makes life difficult when installing new hardware but there are mac-specific instructions included and it wasn't an issue at all. The printer can connect to a wi-fi network and allows you to print from anywhere in the house wirelessly which is a big help when there are multiple computers, or if you need to store the printer somewhere out of the way.
It comes with two cartridges (one black one colour) in the box, and these have lasted about a month of average use for me, not run out yet. I believe cartridges are available quite cheaply online and as there are only two its a bit easier than some other brands where you have to keep track of 4 or 5!
The print quality is fine for documents and most images, but you wouldn't print your wedding pictures out on this! Its not a professional photo printer. Its quick, you aren't waiting around impatiently for pages to appear, especially black and white.
The scan function is straightforward, the instructions are easy to follow and the software is user friendly, even if you haven't used a scanner before. I'm afraid I haven't used the copier function so can't comment on that, but I expect its much the same as print and scan, good enough for the basic user but not for professionals or those with high standards!
The printer is quite big but not heavy at all, its a sleek black colour and the design is surprisingly attractive for a printer of this size, loading paper and changing cartridges is simple.
Overall, I'd say this is a good printer for people who need one around but won't be using it heavily or expecting professional quality results. A great buy for a student or a family with children at secondary school, not a great buy for a keen photographer or digital designer!
I bought this printer last week and so far it's been pretty amazing, this product varies slightly from the MP490 which I owned before this, but its functions are basically the same.
The whole printer is a very elegant black colour which makes it look very attractive, and it looks very well built with both aesthetic and robust concepts in mind.
There is a rear paper feed only, but this works well, not like some of the cheaper ones this does not take in 5 pieces of paper at once and jam, so far it's done well to take in one at a time. (seems to allow A4, or very slightly larger).
Being a Canon product was one of the main reasons I purchased this printer over other brands, as I found out from my other Canon printer they are a very reliable company with good warranty's / replacements and support available (I bought a 3 year warranty with mine for £8.99).
This product was said to cost £79.99 but I picked up mine from Argos for half price £39.99, I was surprised that the product came with ink! The ink for this thing would have cost me another £22 or so. The ink for this product is at an average cost, nothing cheap but luckily not overly expensive, as ink costs is an important thing to consider when buying a printer.
The ink for this printer comes as two cartridges, black and colour, this ends up cheaper but only if you use all the colours equally, as you can't have only one replaced.
This printer is wi-fi enabled, this means that it can be connected to a network and other laptops/computers on the network can print from it without being connected (usb slot) I do not use the wi-fi and simply plug it into my laptop when i wish to print, so don't worry about not understanding the wi-fi feature, it works great as a connected device also.
This printer is larger than I imagined, but that makes the scanner a good size so, pros and cons. Luckily I had enough room for it on my desk. One last thing to note about this printer was the noise it made, it's not a quiet printer, that's for sure, but it prints quickly and with great quality so if noise isn't a factor you need to worry about then this printer has my upmost apprieciation.
When picking a printer I have to spend hours searching for deals, the best brand and how much ink might costs when the time comes to replace them.
On the Argos website recently I discovered the Canon Pixma MP495 printer reduced to just £29.99 and I thought it was a good deal for a printer which seemed to have decent reviews.
I picked my printer up in store and began to set it up at home. When I unpacked the printer the first thing I had to do was the task of removing tones of tape which held together all the side panels and kept the lid down so the scanner was not ruined.
The cartridges are very small looking but extremely good at being held into place. You have a nice section inside the printer which allows you to place the cartridge into the correct slot which is clearly labelled as well and then you shut down this lid to hold them into place.
Not only that but when you lift the printer lid up there is a little plastic section which holds the lid open for you to browse around. It is a similar situation to what you have when you open a car bonnet you have a latch which locks the lid open to let you do the things you need to do.
When it came to installing the drivers onto my pc it took about 10 minutes overall you need around 300 MB space to make sure you have them securely loaded onto the computer. You also get the Canon printing programme which helps you as well when you do various tasks.
When it comes to the wireless capability this printer set up this connection so quickly I never believed it would work. The printer scans around your home for a Wi-Fi connection and then asks to join this connection and then once connected you can print wirelessly around the home.
Everything seemed too good to be true and I was right. The back of the printer where you have the paper tray is so weak that you might need to try and strengthen it up. You have a piece of plastic which extends but it never remains in the same position and seems to collapse on a regular occurrence. If you put in for example 10 pieces of paper by the time the third piece has been loaded for a print out the tray collapses behind the paper resulting in slanted print outs.
Then you have problems with how quickly it wants to print. If you turn on the device and sit back at your computer and try to print a picture the printer takes nearly a full minute to get itself ready to do a print out. This is not the only issue either.
When you want to print a document such as a picture you sometimes have many options presented to you such as the size of the paper you're using, what sort of paper it is and so on. However, with this printer that means nothing at all.
You have to physically go to the printer and the buttons displayed on the top and select your printing a picture and then go back to the printing options on your computer so it sort of defies why you have a wireless connection if you have to keep visiting the printer for the correct print to happen.
In terms of quality the printer does deliver excellent results with pictures as long as they not too dark in texture. If you are trying to print an image of a nice sunny day with plenty of light the image which is printed is superb. If you print an image with a slightly darker background then you end up with an image which is very poor overall.
The printer when it comes to scanning is actually fantastic there is not a single problem I can think off with the scanner. It has the usual 1200 x 1400 dpi optical resolution you see on most scanners. You do have to wait a short while for the scanner to wake up but when it does it delivers some excellent results. I have some old family photos and I wanted to scan them first before just copying them and the results which I received were sensational.
The copying element of this printer is good also but you cannot copy directly from the machine. So if you were to place a document inside the printer and want it copied immediately you have to go back to your computer and click on the Canon programme guide and then select copy from the menu for the printer to do a copy for you of an item.
I have found the wireless aspect silly because you have to keep visiting the printer when it comes to printing a photo and you have to also do the same for copying an image as well.
The scanner produces excellent results and the images which can be printed are also very good as well. The ink levels seem to be the same for me after many print outs and roughly cartridges are about £16 for this printer which is kind of cheap.
I like the overall piano black finish which is stylish and makes the printer stand out and I also appreciate how easy it was to setup which is sometimes a worry for new devices.
In my view this printer is good for a few things but it is failed by a silly amount of errors and cheap parts which are lacklustre and seem very pointless as to why there were attached in the first place.
The printer is 6kg in weight and is a bulky product but for me this is one item if you see it cheap and you need it for the basics then it is fine but if you want a product which actually enables you to sit back and print wirelessly this might not be the product.
Overall in my view this printer is rated 6 out of 10 and that is the best it would ever receive.

Why can't people meet for free?
I mean all the sites that say meet a date, get together, etc. are all fine until you click on a link to actually contact someone and then Wham!!!! Credit Card Please....
Is there any non scham areas to meet people!

Capitalism generally refers to an economic system in which the means of production are mostly privately[1] owned and operated for profit, and in which distribution, production and pricing of goods and services are determined in a largely free market. It is usually considered to involve the right of individuals and groups of individuals acting as "legal persons" or corporations to trade capital goods, labor and money (see finance and credit).Originally Posted by kontroll4
You can meet for FREE!Originally Posted by kontroll4
Just do what people did before the internet - and still do - to meet people; go to clubs, bars, restaurants, social events, concerts, parties, ride your bike in the park, go for a run around the neighborhood, walk your dog, work out at the gym, etc. and you can always find people to meet.
Why should people, who put their time and effort into creating and managing a site that helps people meet, not charge for such an endeavor?
It is up to you to search the web for these "meet people" sites to determine which ones offer the most for your money. The cost for good sites are very reasonable considering the cost for going out on the town each month to meet people - by chance - on your own.
Personally, I wouldn't belong to a site that was totally free. Making the participants pay is the best way I know of to weed out the majority of the flakes, picture collectors, and posers. I can't even imagine the quantity of idiots we would have to deal with if anyone with access to a computer could respond to our profile without having to pay to do so.
R (He is R, she is P)
ok, I have a silly question.
Why should someone go through all the trouble to program a web site, pay for the hosting and all the expense of keeping it up and running and not get anything for it?
Look at the free services like Yahoo. People abuse the hell out of them and there is more scams running on those FREE sites then anywhere else on the Internet.
Remember, you get what you pay for. I am betting you don't do what you do for a living for free.
I would like free gas for my truck but I am betting the guy that owns the gas station feels he deserves to be paid also.
And that's why I don't offer personal ads HERE! Because if I did I too would have to charge for them. As it is promoting quality swinger personals sites (that do charge) is what provides the income to keep this FREE!
These sites are not cheap to run. This site is not cheap to run. When you put one together yourself and pay for it out of your pocket and run it as a pure chairty with no income for a while.... let us know if you still feel they should be free.
Simple. You get what you pay for
Somebody better go back and get a shitload of dimes!!!
I have a hard time with that statement... I feel like people get a LOT here for free. Hell for that matter you get a LOT for free on Swing Lifestyle too... so sometimes you do get something for nothing... or more than you pay for.Originally Posted by LOL_OMG
I agree with everyone above. First, it costs money to run such sites. The more bells and whistles the site has the more it costs to host and maintain. Nobody is going to put that kind of time and money into something for free for very long.
Second, as mentioned by good times and VegasLee, paying weeds-out the posers and pic collectors, especially in this arena. Those that are serious about meeting others have no problem paying $9.95 to $19.95 a month to do so. Those that are not serious about it, or are pic collectors, probably won't pay for their profile - just like on the Yahoo! sites, which by the way Yahoo! has eliminated because of the scams and fakes.

Yes ma'am, this is a great board. You run a tight ship, I know first hand the effort involved, greatly appreciated.I feel like people get a LOT here for free.
resident martian anthropologist...observing the hole.....er.....whole.
What I like about SLS is that there is a free component; we've let our membership lapse a time or two, and we don't get kicked off, we don't have email disappear; you get more features paid than not. And I think that's totally fair. And what I like BEST is that you don't get a ton of ads popping up at you, or posted as links. Some other sites will drive you up a wall with that kind of thing.
I've always found that all "personal" sites are much better for paid members than not.
I agree with LikeMinds -- there's ways to meet folks. The "lifestyle" clubs around here, though, have a fee associated with them I think. So, EXCEPT for this board, most good things in life may not be free.
Site administrators are quick to point out that free accounts lead to paid accounts...
Oh really. Case in point; Swappernet. I've kept a running tally on free vs. paid accounts via the "who's new" page. It just doesn't happen. Two free accounts have upgraded in the past 57 days...out of hundreds of trial accounts, many of them multiple free accounts by the same persons. (multiple trial accounts are strictly prohibited...yeah...right)
I'm all for having your account remain active during a laspe in membership once you have paid. Only fair, I've paid you some hard-earned cash...
However, weeding through this complete waste of band-width as are "free trial accounts", by my research, is useless...
Granted SN is probably the worst case senerio in this regard, there are many things they are no longer doing right in my opinion. Yet, I continue to give them my money, so I guess I have to ask, who's the fool?
Would it be too much to ask for all sites to place a time limit on these accounts? Seems their bottom lines would benefit, as would my valuable time...of course, their claims of 100 quad-zillion members would suffer.
resident martian anthropologist...observing the hole.....er.....whole.
Probably the main reason you are seeing the low conversion rate right there. On SLS they actually have a pretty high conversion rate from free to paid accounts.Originally Posted by spectraschain
I think you answered your own question here, if all the free accounts were thrown out their numbers of total members would drop drastically.Originally Posted by spectraschain
R (He is R, she is P)
I concur. No different than listings that haven't visited the site in years. We the people are evidently too dim to realize this ploy.if all the free accounts were thrown out their numbers of total members would drop drastically
On any site with a forum, this topic has been:beatdeadh, I'm merely venting...

That's a very good idea. We've done free accounts to test drive sites to see if we like them (I think swappernet was one). It was such a pain in the ass to navigate that we gave up. And now that you mention it, I'm not sure I ever closed the account officially -- and I don't even know what the user name and password was ... so we're one of those gazillion members who are causing irritation.Originally Posted by spectraschain
Uhm. Sorry 'bout that.
And I like the idea of if it was ever a paid account and goes free, that's a different category. Could be the couple isn't as active right then so it doesn't make sense to pay it up.

Briarwood Roundup
Across the hall from Ed's is The Walking Company, a chain of about 250 stores selling predominantly European comfort brands, like the Dansko and Sanita clogs so dear to Ann Arbor women's hearts (this store sells only women's shoes, though other Walking Company stores sell men's). It also sells UGGs, ECCOs, and MBT rocker-soled shoes which employees Lindsay Phillips and Kaitlin Graf claim to be "way superior to the Sketchers knockoff. You can blow the Sketcher soles out in three months." MBTs not only last longer, they promise, but can be resoled, making them practically indestructible.
At the Sears end of the mall, replacing Dollar Dogs, is Very Berry frozen yogurt, with six flavors of self-serve and optional toppings. Three of the flavors are the newfangled ultra-tart stuff. Very Berry is owned by local partners Kwang Taek and Suni, who goes by one name.
In another move, Briarwood refused to renew the lease on the freestanding building housing Bennigan's, and manager Brandon Gilbert said the restaurant would be vacated by the end of January.
"It's a lease issue," says Gilbert. A hot concept back in the 1980s, the bar-and-grill chain lost out to newer competitors and fell into bankruptcy in 2008. Though franchisees kept many restaurants going--"there are still ten other Bennigan's in Michigan," Gilbert says--the Briarwood location is closing because its franchisee couldn't agree on new lease terms with its landlord, the Simon Property Group. An employee at Briarwood--also owned by Simon--says it's been leased to Red Robin.

Proclamations are beginning to come in from around the country to celebrate June Dairy Month. So far, the governors of both Kansas and California have stepped up to the plate.
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback said in Topeka yesterday, "Kansas dairymen are dedicated to innovation and adding economic value to their communities and our state," said Governor Brownback. "The growth of the dairy industry means more wholesome dairy products for families in Kansas and throughout the region."
The proclamation continued, "The dairy industry in Kansas is experiencing continuous growth, expanding at the fastest rate in the nation in 2013. The industry adds economic value to the state through jobs and the more than $592 million value of milk produced annually. There are more than 300 Kansas farm families who take great care of their animals to provide wholesome, nutritious dairy products. Kansas dairies produce more than 336 million gallons of milk, annually."
In the nation's number one milk producing state, California, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., said , "California's dairy farmers' hard work has made them leaders in the field. Their leadership has resulted in the annual production of over 40 billion pounds of milk, accounting for about twenty-one percent of the nation's entire supply."
Read the full proclamations from:
California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr.
Look tomorrow for a nationwide listing of June Dairy Month events to find the one in your area!

How fathers are real-life heroes
Posted June 18, 2016
Updated June 19, 2016
A few months ago, my son Boston found a bag from a cute boutique called Over the Moon.
"Can I take this?" he asked about the bag with the store's name on it.
Puzzled, I nodded, and he ran downstairs with the bag. A little while later, he showed me what he had written on the front:
"Dear Dad, I love you (arrow) 'Over the Moon' — and back!"
He was so excited to give Brad his Father's Day gift and had saved it all this time.
In years past, we have given Brad and the grandpas cards about them being superheroes, great golfers and barbecue masters. We've praised their dad-ness by expressing thanks about them being hardworking and great leaders.
But this Father's Day, I want to express my gratitude for the fathers in my life for simply being there.
Growing up, my dad worked hard. He is a psychiatrist and was often on call. He rarely took time off for vacations, and worked many weekends. But he was almost always home for family dinner. I loved waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs and jumping up into his arms as soon as he walked through the door. I used to sit on his feet, which sported nice but worn-out socks with a cracked heel usually poking through the bottom, and ride around our slippery wood floor. He would lead our family in a dinner prayer and always made it a point to compliment my mom on her home-cooked meal.
It's funny how it's the little things that stick out to me years later: him turning on News Radio in the mornings as he drove me to school, him loudly cracking up at a joke from a TV show, him choosing to floss his teeth or blow his nose at the most awkward times, the sound of his "click-y toe" popping as he walked upstairs in the middle of the night to check on us, and him waking us up to ask us if we were asleep.
My dad still has a way of making everyone feel like they are taken care of. He is generous to a fault and always ready to give advice or predict the end of a movie. It's funny how even now I revert to my inner child when I'm around him, asking him to drive me places and help me with things we both know I can do for myself.
Nowadays, I wait by the door for my husband, Brad, and all but throw myself into his arms as soon as he comes home. I watch our boys sit on his feet, and smile as he walks them around our slippery wood floor. I wonder if they know how lucky they are to have a dad that takes time after a full day of work to build Lego cities or wrestle with them on the beanbag. Finding a man like my own dad was paramount for me when I was dating, and even though my husband and my father are very different in many ways, they are similar in their love and loyalty to their family.
This Father's Day, I want to say "thank you" to fathers, fathers-in-law and father figures who are making the time to just be there. They are real-life heroes.
We love you "Over the Moon" — and back.

Well tomorrow we can start our fretting about the coming "grand bargain" but at least for tonight there's relief.
Yay, the sinking of Tea Party favorites…a lesson that will surely not be learned — they'll be back dumber than ever. Good luck with that mainline GOPers, that's a bed you've happily made.
Yay, Elizabeth Warren.
And now we can point at laugh at the following:
1. Unskewed Polls guy.
2. And on that note, this site "NateSilverisWrong.Com" just went up yesterday. Good timing.
4. Peggy Noonan, who said she thought Romney would win and Obama lose through the power of her observational skill reading faces. She gets a LOT of money for that kind of analysis. And she'll never want for a salary over it.
But hey, at least the 1% got to party in style.

Our official list of the Big 12's top 25 players entering the 2012 season marches on. Here's more on my criteria for who makes it, who doesn't and who lands where.
The official list is locked away in a vault in an undisclosed location, but we'll be revealing one player a day leading up to the season.
Next up on the list:
No. 13: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma
2011 numbers: Made 74 tackles (52 solo) and had 7.5 tackles for loss. Picked off four passes and made 4.5 sacks. Also forced a fumble and broke up three passes.
Most recent ranking: Jefferson was unranked in our postseason list of the Big 12's top 25 players.
Making the case for Jefferson: No. 13 on this list feels low for Jefferson when it comes to total talent, but for Jefferson the production has to be there too. I expect that to be the case this year, and for Jefferson to make his case as a top 10 player, if not a contender for Defensive Player of the Year.
Why? He's moving back to his more natural position under new coordinator Mike Stoops. Jefferson will be patrolling the free safety spot instead of spending so much time at the nickel back spot. Teammates know that's where Jefferson's strength lies, and we'll see it on display this year. The Sooners have a solid replacement for him at nickel back in Joseph Ibiloye, and the Sooners move arguably their most talented defender to the spot where help is needed most.
The back of the defense was exposed far too often last season, and on big stages. Jefferson's move should plug that up, and give him more freedom to roam where he's far more comfortable. Jefferson shared the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year Award in 2010, but was relatively quiet last season. Three of his four interceptions came on consecutive possessions against Ball State.
This year, I hope you're not expecting the 5-foot-11, 212-pound California native to stay quiet for long.
The rest of the list:
No. 24: Ben Habern, C, Oklahoma
No. 23: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
No. 22: Josh Boyce, WR, TCU
No. 21: Cyril Richardson, OL, Baylor
No. 20: Trey Millard, FB/TE, Oklahoma
No. 19: Quandre Diggs, CB/KR, Texas
No. 18: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
No. 16: Stansly Maponga, DE, TCU
No. 15: Gabe Ikard, OL, Oklahoma
No. 14: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas

Two terrible hours I'll never get back
[From April 19th to the 29th, Flixist will bring you live coverage of the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Keep an eye out for news, features, interviews, videos, and reviews of some of the most anticipated films to hit the festival circuit in 2012.]
Cut is the worst kind of pretentious. There are no good kinds of pretentious, but some are more tolerable than others. Cut is entirely intolerable. It's self-righteous, obnoxious, boring, and completely useless. It's a movie that tells you about how terrible movies these days have become, apparently using itself as an example.
It's also two hours long. I'm not sure how the filmmakers managed to fill that much time with so little content, but they did it. And I am very angry about it.
Director: Amir Naderi
Release Date: TBD
Rating: NR
I'm not sure why anyone thought that this could be a feature film. The basic concept (man needs to pay back his brother's debt to the yakuza) is certainly worthy of its own movie, and there are probably at least a dozen movies about that same story. But the way the protagonist, Shinji (Hidetoshi Nishijima), goes about it is just boring. He decides that he will let yakuza members punch him in exchange for their money. He has a huge debt to pay off and only two weeks to do it, so that means there's a lot of punching.
Problem is, that's all there is. He never fights back, nobody kicks him, and the vast majority of the punches are aimed at his stomach. Later in the film, more of them are aimed at his face, but it's primarily a stomach-punching fest. A stupid, boring, stomach-punching fest.
But even that would be somewhat forgivable if it weren't for how obnoxious Shinji is. He is a film buff who holds special screenings of classic films like Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr. every so often in order to expose people to cinema history. It's a noble goal, but the camera lingers on the screenings themselves. It shows pieces of Sherlock Jr. and John Ford's The Searchers, and I longed to be watching those films instead. Shinji hates what cinema has become, and he picks up his megaphone and shouts about it while everybody ignores him. As he's getting punched, he yells out "Shit cinema!" over and over again, using it like a painkiller.
I wanted to shout at the screen in agreement. I wanted to tell it that it was shit cinema and that director Amir Naderi and co. should be ashamed of themselves. Shinji only makes it worse when he stops to say that there are still filmmakers who make true art that everybody should go see. Because he gives no examples, it's implied that perhaps Cut is one of those films.
It's not. Not even close. There is nothing artistic about Cut. It seems like the film was thrown haphazardly together in about three days of editing with basically zero time spent on audiovisual work. It seems like a complete A few scenes which are pointlessly shot in black and white are the only indication that any attention was paid to the look of the film.
The closest thing Cut has to a saving grace is its list of Shinji's 100 favorite movies. Unfortunately, it's shown over the course of what seems like an eternity, as Shinji gets punched 100 times. My only enjoyment came from counting how many of the movies I had seen, which was 20. And "enjoyment" isn't the right word. It was simply something to do. Something to think about other than the movie. The vast majority of the films on the list I had never heard of, with only a handful that I knew of but had yet to see. When it came time for number one, Cut gave way to Citizen Kane, and Orson Welles breathed "Rosebud" and dropped his snowglobe. And then there was Rosebud itself. Cut had spoiled the ending of Citizen Kane. Sure, anyone who goes out of their way to see a film like this has probably seen Citizen Kane, but it's awful that the filmmakers felt so highly of their production that they earned the right to spoil Citizen Kane for those who had yet to see it.
All of Cut's best moments are literally ripped from other films. Seeing bits and pieces of Citizen Kane and Sherlock Jr. reminded me how great they are, and it made me want to leave the theater and go see some good movies. Perhaps that was Cut's ultimate goal, though. Maybe the filmmakers wanted me to hate it so much that I needed to go scrub it from my mind with something good. That would actually be kind of clever, in some sickening way.
But it would also be giving them too much credit.
Hubert Vigilla: I wanted to give Cut the benefit of the doubt since it sounded interesting. It's a rant against the state of contemporary film, in which movies are mostly mere commodities rather than entertaining art. It's about Shinji suffering for his passion, and I also assumed that writer/director Amir Naderi's call for "free cinema" was a comment on the repressive nature of his home country Iran. But Cut just drones and trudges after making its points, and I could only stay with it for so long before my mind numbed and began to wander. We watch Shinji get beaten to a pulp, we watch him muse about movies, and we watch the cycle repeat. Every now and then you get a clip from The Searchers or Kwaidan, or you watch Shinji display extreme reverence to the graves of Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu. Any time that happened, all I could think was, "Man, I really wish I was watching The Searchers or an Ozu movie instead of this." 30 - Bad

Offering a lifeline for people affected by memory problems and dementia
Dementia care experts from the University of Sheffield are hoping to tackle low dementia diagnosis rates in the city with a pioneering Information Pack which offers unprecedented advice and guidance for people with memory problems.
The Sheffield Dementia Information Pack, launched today (11 September 2012), is a single source directory. It aims to enhance public awareness of dementia, signpost support and advice services in Sheffield for those affected and their families, and convey positive messages about how to live well with dementia.
A need for the Information Pack was highlighted by Professor Alistair Burns, National Clinical Director for Dementia at the Department of Health, after the National Dementia Strategy for England reported that only a third of people with the disease received a formal diagnosis.
The pack, established by Lecturer David Reid, from the University's School of Nursing and Midwifery, Professor Tony Warnes from Sheffield Institute for Studies on Ageing and medical student Lori Low, is the culmination of nine months collaborative work with local statutory and voluntary organisations. It was funded by the Marjorie Coote Old People's Fund, the Sheffield Town Trust, Sheffield Church Burgesses Trust and the University of Sheffield.
The main objectives of the pack are: to describe in clear language the kinds of memory problems which are associated with dementia and explain what dementia is and what to do if you are worried about your memory; to convey a positive message about the possibilities for continued wellbeing whilst living with dementia; to describe the assessment, support and advice services available to people with memory loss and their families and signpost the principal services in Sheffield.
Lead author David Reid said: "The Sheffield Dementia Information Pack is not the answer to the problem of under-diagnosis of dementia, but we hope it will encourage more people in the city to seek advice and support. The Pack targets two groups of people: those with memory problems who don't know where to turn or what to do; and people who have a diagnosis of dementia and want to know more about how they can live well with dementia. The Pack will also be useful to the families of these two groups of people.
"The Pack explicitly advises people to make contact with supportive organisations and not to remain alone.
"Supporting people affected by memory problems and dementia is everybody's business. It is a joint effort and requires those involved in providing these forms of support to improve their own communication practices, to help join things up for those whose lives are radically changed by dementia. We hope the development of the Sheffield Dementia Information Pack proves a useful addition to and signposting resource for Sheffield's dementia community."
The Sheffield Dementia Information Pack is now available free of charge and can be downloaded from www.sheffield.ac.uk/snm/dementiapack . A limited number of printed copies are also available. The Pack will be updated every six months to reflect the rapidly changing landscape of dementia care provision in Sheffield.
Professor Alistair Burns attended the Information Pack launch at The University of Sheffield today. He said: "Information about dementia and locally available health and social care resource is so important for people with dementia and their carers. It empowers people to make informed decisions about what help they can access, it puts individuals in touch with the right care and it can be of real practical help immediately after a diagnosis, for many a time of change and uncertainty.
"The pack is superbly written in an accessible style. I was overwhelmed by the range and quantity of services described. It will serve as an invaluable resource for the people of Sheffield and as a template for others to follow.
"The pack, compiled with contributions from Sheffield's dementia care organisations, provides valuable information about memory problems and dementia, endorses and supports the important ideal of living well with dementia and presents detailed information about treatment, support and advice services."
Kevin Roden from Sheffield said the Information Pack will be a real lifeline to people affected by dementia. His mother was diagnosed with dementia four years ago and is pictured in the pack.
He said: "I think the families of people diagnosed with dementia are really going to benefit from the pack. When this happens you simply don't know where to turn or where to go. Professionals such as GP's obviously help but they do not see your family members at their worst, such as in the middle of the night or on a really bad day.
"What the pack does immediately is to let you know that you are not alone and that other people are going through the same thing. It lets my mum know that she isn't alone and that there are people out there who can help. If I had received this pack four years ago when my mum was diagnosed I know it would have been a massive help."
Professor Anne Peat, Dean of the School of Nursing and Midwifery said: "A significant amount of work has gone into production of the pack to make sure it meets the needs of the people in Sheffield. It is an excellent source of advice and provides answers to common questions often asked by families and those with dementia. Those suffering from dementia who have looked at the pack say it is very useful and easy to understand, they like having all the contact numbers in one place instead of having to ring around."

Employees celebrate Earth Day by planting 1,500 trees across Canada
OAKVILLE, ON, April 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Mediacorp has named Siemens Canada one of Canada's Greenest Employers – for the third consecutive year. Listed alongside only 54 other companies, the announcement was in the Globe and Mail's special national report today. The firm was also recognized as one of Canada's Top Employers earlier this year.
The award highlights Siemens' key success factors for preserving the environment, including the implementation of a Sustainability Council led by CEO Robert Hardt. Employee engagement, research and development into green technologies and focus on sustainability are the primary reasons Siemens was awarded Canada's Greenest Employers distinction. The company has adapted an in-house recycling program, ensuring that all food services use only recyclable materials such as plates and utensils and offers waste separation receptacles for organic, paper and recyclable refuse. Additionally, the Siemens "Ways of Working" telecommuter program encourages many employees to work from home for up to two days each week to reduce their carbon emissions.
To celebrate this honour, Siemens employees will take two hours out of their work day to participate in Earth Day activities, which in addition to tree planting, also includes local clean ups of parks and green spaces. Siemens presented a $48,000 sponsorship to Tree Canada, and today, 300 Siemens employees from 15 Canadian cities will plant 1,500 trees. Oakville Mayor Rob Burton will be on-hand to join the tree planting activities with Siemens' head office. This is the third year of Siemens Canada's partnership with Tree Canada, a non-profit organization whose mission is to engage communities and corporations in the pursuit of a greener and healthier living environment for Canadians.
The total number of trees planted by Siemens employees will grow to 4,000 since 2012. The benefits are many, as one tree can absorb as much as 9.16 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. Trees planted by Siemens employees will collectively reduce the carbon footprint by more than 31 tonnes in three years. This is equivalent to removing all carbon dioxide produced by nine cars being regularly driven throughout this period.
The award, given by Canada's largest job-hunting guide publisher Mediacorp Canada Inc., recognizes the employers that lead the nation in creating a culture of environmental awareness in their organizations. Companies are evaluated on how they develop and cultivate exceptional environmental awareness, attracting people to their organizations based on this environmental stewardship.
Siemens' annual Sustainability Report will also be released this week, summarizing the firm's key accomplishments in 2013.
About Siemens Canada
For more than 100 years the innovative ideas from Siemens have helped make Canada a better place. From the Atlantic to Pacific oceans, more than 4,500 employees in Canada work together to provide answers that last in the fields of industry, energy, healthcare and infrastructure solutions for cities. Since it was federally chartered in 1912, Siemens has stood for technical achievements, innovation, quality and reliability. Sales for Siemens in Canada in fiscal 2013 (ended September 30), were $2.0 billion CAD. The company has 46 offices and 18 manufacturing/assembly facilities across Canada.

Apple vs. Netflix: The Brawl for it All
On a day when most tech stocks were hammered, Apple (AAPL) caught a bid, and stayed bid all day. Word is out that Apple is discussing a tie-in with Comcast (CMCSA) that would provide a high-quality, premium streaming television service.

Many teenage girls will recognize something of themselves in J. C. Burke's novel of four surfer girls all struggling to rise above their own problems and insecurities, from drugs to boys to self-esteem. Australian friends Micki, Ace, Georgie, and Kia are the Starfish Sisters, ready to reunite for surf camp once again, except that Ace hasn't made the training camp - and now she seems determined to drive them all apart. Performer Edwina Wren's sweet, plaintive voice is well suited to this heartfelt story.
The pressure builds for Kia, Georgie, Micki and Ace in the sequel to the acclaimed Starfish Sisters.
'Starfish who surf together stick together.' It was Ace who wrote that in Kia, Georgie and Micki's blue booklets on the last day of camp.
Yet it's Ace who's ended up ruining everything - ending the Starfish Sisters before they've even begun. How are they going to get back together?

Marshall Alumni, Fans, and Friends to "Paint the Capital City Green"
Aug. 11, 2006
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The Kanawha Valley will once again be getting a new paint job as the ninth edition of "Paint the Capital City Green" comes to Charleston on Wednesday, Aug. 16, presented by the Friends of Coal.
The annual event, which is recognized as the nation's largest pep rally for Marshall University alumni, fans and friends, begins at 6:45 p.m. at Charleston's Embassy Suites Hotel.
"Paint the Capital City Green" is hosted by the Big Green Scholarship Foundation, Marshall University Alumni Association, Greater Kanawha Valley Marshall Club and the Charleston Quarterback Club. Proceeds benefit the Big Green Scholarship Foundation and the MU Alumni Association. This is the third consecutive year the Friends of Coal organization has sponsored this popular Charleston tradition.
"Pride, passion and excitement are the sentiments most often expressed around Marshall these days," Marshall University President Stephen J. Kopp said. "We expect this year to be a breakout year on many fronts. A new era of opportunity is unfolding with the opening of the new Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center in Huntington, the kickoff of a promising year of Thundering Herd football and the premiere of the much- anticipated `We Are Marshall' film. It is a great time to be a part of Marshall University and the `Paint the Capital City Green' event always launches the start of our athletic season with great passion and fanfare for our beloved Thundering Herd teams."
With excitement mounting for the upcoming Sept. 2 Friends of Coal Bowl, which pits in-state rivals Marshall and WVU opposing each other for the first time in nine years, fans will get to meet Kopp, second-year football coach Mark Snyder and his staff, and other members of Marshall's coaching staff.
The event begins with a pep rally and tailgate party. In addition, there will be entertainment by Marco, the Marshall cheerleading squad and members of the Marshall University Marching Thunder.
This year's event also will include appearances by Young Thundering Herd Coach Jack Lengyel and 1971 Marshall quarterback Reggie Oliver, who are portrayed in the upcoming "We Are Marshall" film. Both were instrumental in the rebirth of Marshall's football program following the tragic 1970 Marshall plane crash.
A formal program begins at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $35 and must be purchased in advance as no tickets will be sold at the door. Table sponsorships also are available. For additional information, persons may call (304) 696-3134 or (304) 696-4461.

In this column we investigate installing a dual boot system using both the LILO and GRUB boot loader. A boot loader allows you to select an operating system to boot when your computer is first turned on. This article works on the assumption that you have already installed the operating systems you wish to dual boot.
Getting ready
Before setting up the dual boot system you will need to know where each operating system is located on your hard disk. Using fdisk to find this, log in as root and in a shell type:
$ /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda
If your operating systems are installed on another hard disk, substitute /dev/hda with this disk.
To display the list of partitions on this drive, type p and an output similar to the following will be displayed:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 96 771088+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 97 2646 20482875 83 Linux
This output shows that Windows is installed on the first partition and Linux on the second. We will use this scenario above as the example in the following sections. To quit fdisk, type q.
The LInux LOader (LILO) uses a configuration file named /etc/lilo.conf. If your distribution uses LILO, this file will be present. This is the LILO configuration for our dual boot system:
prompt timeout=50 default=linux boot=/dev/hda linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=win
Compare this file to the /etc/lilo.conf installed on your own system.
The first section of this file defines how LILO will operate. When editing your LILO configuration you should not need to change this section. A detailed explanation of each keyword can be found by typing:
$ man lilo.conf
The second section of the LILO configuration file defines the operating systems available to boot. This is what you need to be concerned with when setting up a dual boot system.
The 'image' keyword is followed by the filename of a Linux kernel. Your kernel will already be included in your /etc/lilo.conf. If you wish to boot another Linux kernel, such as one you have compiled yourself, you can add another 'image' entry with the new kernel file name. Each 'image' entry will appear as an option in the LILO menu. The 'label' keyword specifies a unique identifier for each kernel for use in the LILO menu.
The 'other' keyword is followed by a partition containing an operating system other than Linux to be booted. In our case, Windows is installed on /dev/hda1. You can add 'other' keywords for each non-Linux operating system. Once again, the 'label' keyword specifies a unique identifier. To install a LILO configuration, type as root in a shell:
$ /sbin/lilo
GRUB is another boot loader used by many Linux distributions. The GRUB configuration file is located at /boot/grub/menu.lst. This is the GRUB configuration file for our dual boot system:
default=1 timeout=5Compare this file to the /etc/grub.conf installed on your own system. Like LILO, the first section of this configuration file defines how GRUB operates. These settings should not need to be modified to build the dual boot system.
title Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img title Win rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
The second section of the GRUB configuration file defines the operating systems available to boot. Each operating system is defined with the 'title' keyword followed by a unique identifier.
The 'root' keyword specifies the partition where the operating system can be found. GRUB identifies hard disks using the keyword 'hd' followed by a pair of integers corresponding to the drive number and partition number. For example, (hd0,0) means the first partition on the first hard disk. In our case, Windows is located at (hd0,0) and Linux at (hd0,1).
The 'kernel' keyword is followed by the filename of a Linux kernel. The 'initrd' keyword is followed by the initrd filename corresponding to the kernel.
The 'rootnoverify' keyword is used to specify a partition containing an unsupported operating system — in our case, Windows. The 'chainloader' keyword is used to boot Windows from this partition.
To install a GRUB configuration, as root in a shell type:
$ grub-install /dev/hda
