2 More Historic Crookston Buildings Slated for DemolitionCROOKSTON, MN (WDAZ-TV) - This summer the city of Crookston will say goodbye to two century-old buildings.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
CROOKSTON, MN (WDAZ-TV) - This summer the city of Crookston will say goodbye to two century-old buildings.
Recently Polk County acquired the buildings known as the Z-Place and the former Rock's Jewelry store and the decision has been made to take them down.
The two buildings have been sitting on the corner of Main Avenue and Robert Street for more than 100 years. But hazards of the structures outweigh keeping them around.
The historic Wayne Hotel was torn down in Crookston about a year and a half ago. And now two more downtown buildings will see the wrecking ball.
"In '01 the wind storm took the wall down and we knew since then it was going to be an issue," Polk County Commissioner Craig Buness said.
The county acquired the crumbling Z-Place building through tax forfeiture and then recently purchased the attached former Rock's Jewelry building, that build has been mostly restored.
Losing three historic buildings in less than two years will slightly change the look downtown. Buness says it's a sign of the times.

AUSTIN -- The grainy, black and white video taken from an Israeli aircraft shows the moment a missile struck the vehicle of Hamas military commander Ahmed Jabari, killing him.
Rather than televised reports, most who saw the video did so first after it was posted on the official Twitter feed of the Israeli Defense Forces, @IDFSpokesperson. The IDF followed up the video with the tweet: "Ahmed Jabari: Eliminated."
As Hamas retaliated with its own rocket strikes, its own official English-language twitter feed, @AlqassamBrigade, tweeted: "@idfspokesperson Our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are (You Opened Hell Gates on Yourselves)."
Since then, both sides have tweeted photos, video and rhetorical shots amid a real battle. The tweets have been a combination of military updates, propaganda statements and calls for global support, with each side often directly addressing or responding to the other through their respective feeds.
"This is the first I've heard of a military actually 'live-tweeting' an operation as they go," said Robert Quigley, senior lecturer at the University of Texas School of Journalism and former social media editor for the Austin-American Statesman.
"The Israelis and the Palestinians are not necessarily speaking even to their own people or to each other. They're speaking to the world community," Quigley told KVUE at his office in the university's Belo Center for New Media. "They're trying to affect world opinion, and so that's why they were posting the combat live tweets in English."
"Even from the stairwells, I have friends that are saying, 'In the bomb shelter right now, everything's okay,'" said University of Texas student Tracy Frydberg.
A student activist with Texas Hillel, Frydberg has family in Israel, including a cousin in the Israeli Defense Force. Like many, she told KVUE she'd been following the conflict through the @IDFSpokesperson Twitter feed as well as English news services such as the Times of Israel, civilian blogs and the social media accounts of friends and family members.
"My family, my friends are in the army, are serving the country, are in bomb shelters right now, and we want to be able to have the news instantly of what's happening there," said Frydberg. "So Twitter, Facebook, online, it's been fantastic to stay connected."
Frydberg acknowledges that the speed and accessability of social media has revolutionized the information age, but at the same time isn't impressed with its use by organizations such as Hamas.
"It's very upsetting to see Hamas on Twitter," said Frydberg. "This is a terrorist organization. They are targeting innocent civilians in Israel, innocent Gazans who are now under fire because of Hamas."
"I'm just tired of the news sources, I want to hear from the people," said Sarah Alfadda with the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a student group that staged a vocal demonstration on campus Monday against the Israeli military actions.
Disappointed with the coverage of more conventional news sources, Alfadda turned to blogs such as The Electronic Intifada and social media for updates on the fighting and casualties. While some have credited social media with allowing both sides a voice in the conflict over the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations, Alfadda is less optimistic when it comes to those already invested in the conflict.
"I thought that it would stimulate dialogue. What I've personally found is that it's basically the opposite of that," said Alfadda, expressing disappointment that much of the conversation has devolved into angry exchanges between Israeli and Palestinian partisans. On the other hand, Alfadda acknowledges that social media has arrested the attention of people from outside the region, particularly in the United States.
"A lot of people are really taking an interest and a lot of people are making a point to repost things or retweet things," said Alfadda.
By taking control of social media themselves, Quigley says governments can "cut out the middle man" and send messages that reinforce their strategic narrative directly to the public. In that way a Twitter account can become a useful tool for governments, yet Quigley explains the mass accessability of social media also makes contradictory accounts much more difficult to silence.
"If you have a smartphone and an Internet connection, you can tell part of the story," explained Quigley. "So as much as any government wants to make the narrative, they can only control so much."
As the conflict continues, the world is watching.

A Whirlwind of Activity at GreenTreks
This year has been a busy one, and we couldn't be more pleased!
First off, thanks to all of those who attended the party with a purpose we co-hosted last month with lululemon athletic Walnut Street. If you missed metta movement, check out our Instagram for some snapshots from the night.
What a landmark year it has been for EcoExpress.org! We are working on a new video series that focuses on exciting (and surprising) careers with a STEM focus. The videos will be released early next year. We can't wait to show you. Don't forget, though – we've added a lot of videos over this past year. We've been focusing more on water and watersheds, as it is the environmental issue that connects to so many others.
Here are the video & lesson plan additions to EcoExpress.org in 2013:
Clean Water: A Long Journey from the Source to Our Tap
Porous Pavement
Streamside Forest Buffers
Bioretention Island
Keeping Water On Site: Waterview Recreation Center
Rain Barrels: Preventing Water Pollution Starts at Home
Rain Gardens: Saving Streams One Yard at a Time
Rain Barrels: Preventing Water Pollution Starts at Home
Gardening for a Healthier Bay
Mowing to Meadows
Green Schools: Albert Greenfield Elementary
In 2014, EcoExpress will be unveiling the new STEM careers videos, offering more teacher workshops, providing in-class support, and hosting the 4th annual Spring into Science Education. We are so excited about all of these great plans, but our efforts require more funding to make them a reality. At this critical time for schools, please help us continue to provide environmental educational services. Donate directly to EcoExpress.
You've maybe even spotted Barry or myself (Meghan) giving a presentation about StormwaterPA. This year, we've furthered education about the impacts of polluted stormwater runoff in our local region. Here's a snippet of what's happened.
Clean Your Water is a new initiative of StormwaterPA.org. We are helping municipalities in watersheds across Pennsylvania educate about the value of caring for your local watershed. We curate multimedia resources that are relevant and important to diverse audiences. We provide key community groups with the knowledge to greatly benefit watershed health. So far, we've crafted websites for Cumberland County and the Wissahickon Watershed. Want to see your region represented? Let us know!
Rain Gardens: Saving Streams One Yard at a Time was a big hit this year. We also released a beautifully-made, animated film: Clean Water: A Long Journey from Source to Tap. Our newest film takes place in the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed. Watch as a park along Tacony Creek is transformed, to the benefit of the creek and to the joy of the community.
Help support education about the impacts of stormwater on our drinking water & communities! Donate directly to StormwaterPA.

July 16, 2013
In the past five years alone, the local health department and the nation have seen an increase in the number of tick-borne disease cases like Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Elizabeth Baker, a Professor at Wake Forest University and Commercialization Expert, said, "People are really concerned with their children of their dogs being in the backyard and having the tiniest little tick that they don't see and then all of a sudden their child has Lyme disease."
A few professors at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, have invented a tick robot that they think can change the way ticks are treated in your backyard all in a safe and environmentally friendly way.
Jim Squire, a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Virginia Military Institute, said, "If we could use biomimicry to fool the ticks into thinking the robot is a living host, we might be able to really pull all of the ticks from an environment onto that mat and kill them."
The first thing they do is a lay a pipe around the outer edges of a yard where ticks can typically be found. The pipe then emits carbon dioxide. That is the chemical we breathe out that ticks are attracted too. The ticks then congregate around the piping.
Squire continues, "We turn the robot on and it drags this cloth over it at what we experimentally found to be an ideal speed for ticks to adhere to it."
David Livingston, a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Virginia Military Institute, said. "They see that skirt coming by and they think that's an animal and they climb up on that skirt. But, the skirt is treated with Permethrin and that will kill them."
Now that the tick robot has proven it works, the team is working toward taking the robot from the lab and into the field. There is some more research to be done on the effectiveness of the robot in family yards. The team is taking the next steps toward mass producing the tick robot.
Baker said, "It's really important to us to make the solution accessible. Not just environmentally friendly, not just very practical but also the ability of everybody, from small business to large business to have the capacity to use it."
They hope to have to tick robot available for under $1,000 and ready for pest control companies to use in the next three to five years.

Any idea on anybody why profiler stopped working after i added the flashplayer 10.1 ?
I can debug the flash builder project but when i try to use profiler builder says Unable to connect to the application to fetch profile data.
how can i fix this?
Has anyone else seen this? Seems like the same problem here.
Same problem exactly. Also no flashlog.txt generated when running application in flash player 10.1* debugger in both IE and FF/Chrome.
Any idea whould be great.
Tried different things...in other thread a adobe employee said that it's because of timing problem, but i doubt that.
I have tested this with empty project and the real one, no effect. I can debug the projects but not profile them.
Also tried to see if the hidden mm.cfg parameters could fix the problem or changing the port to another. did not work.
If someone has a solution, please post it in here.
Has anyone had any luck with the following: http://arielsommeria.com/blog/2008/12/22/getting-the-flex-profiler-to- work/ ? If so, which part seems to solve it for you?
By default the profiler listens on port 9999 for an incoming connection from the Flash Player.
It may be worth:
1. Checking if the port isn't getting blocked (try telnet localhost 9999) or its being opened only in IPV6?
2. Removing -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true from installdir/FlashBuilder.ini and relaunching Flash Builder (If you are on Windows 7).
Meanwhile, I'll ping the profiler guys about this thread.
Any Help from the profiler guys?
Need to profile a project that is a bit more complex that usual ones...but the thing is not working.
- rebooting
- restarting the program
- uninstall and install of the flash debug player.
- added parameters to the mm.cfg file.
- changing the default port (9999) to anything else.
- tried with different sdk's
I remember there being this limitation around browsers with multiple tabs (basically wherever multiple flash players may have loaded).
Can you ensure that no flash player is running before hitting profile? (Close all browsers/standalone players, etc.)
Good point Anirudh. Do check if the brwoser is already open. Close all instances of the browser before start.
In addition do the following:
1. Please do check if debug version of Flash Player is installed (I think it should be since you are able to debug, but still cross check). You can check the version and if its debug or not by going to the following site:
2. Please send us the Player version number displayed in the site above.
Anand Gaurav.
test it with all browsers closed, nothing.
Then went uninstalling all the things, rebooted, and installed the debug version for chrome.
went back to the version check page, says this:
Version WIN 10,1,53,64
Debug : NO
Does this tell you anything?
Yes it does.
The newest version of chrome comes with in built Flash Player which doesn't get uninstalled/reinstallled with debug player. Try using Firefox and install debug player. Check on the same site if you are indeed using the debug player. In the meantime, I will get you the procedure to install the debug player on Chrome.
Anand Gaurav.
Here is how you can install debug Flash Player on Chrome:
1. Type about:plugins in the address bar
2. Disable the Adobe Flash Player (Shockwave player) plugin.
3. Install the debug version of Flash Player manually.
In case you already installed debug Flash player, it should have been listed already in the plugins and you are ready to go

People, does anybody success profiling in Flash player 10.1?
I've tried it on a couple of comps with Windows XP on them.
IE and FF both give no result.
I can see that when I heat profile, mm.cfg gets edited with
apropriate line that is path to profile agent.
Also if there are exception, they are thrown in all
the browsers.
But no profiling and also no flashlog.txt is generated.
So can any of you guys actually profile successfully in flashplayer 10.1?
I have tried every trick so far that i know and guys here have came me but no luck.
Last night i tried turning off the Chromes build inside flash player and using the debug version and no luck.
I even got excited that Flash builder 4 announced that there is an update for available, thinking that this problem has been solved.
But no....
Guys, any more suggestions ?
I have the same issue but with an Air application. I tried reverting to 10.0 but still having the same problem.
getting a bit worried here
anyone, does anyone have a solution?
Please make sure you are using debug version of flash player
Visit the page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
and make sure that debug player says 'Yes'
Please let us know the Flash builder version you are using. If you are using Flash builder 4.0 please upgrade to 4.0.1 flash builder and let us know the results.
Google chrome browser installs non-debug version of flash player by default.
To disable the flash player of chrome
Goto chrome://plugins/ from the chrome browser
Disable Shockwave flash.
See above :...but just in case you miss that...
Player Version: WIN 10,1,53,64
Debug: YES
Flash builder is updated to 4.0.1
Same here...
Player Version: WIN 10,1,53,64
Debug: YES
Flash builder 4.0.1
I was using FB 4.0 but upgraded to 4.0.1
No Difference - still says Unable to connect to the application to fetch profile data.
Windows 7 - 64Bit Professional
Player Version: WIN 10,1,53,64
Debug: YES
Flash builder 4.0.1
Make sure that there is only "ONE" mm.cfg file and it is available at user.home location (Eg. C:\Users\)
Profiler will not launch if the default registry settings are modified(Bug # FB-19102)
Just one mm.cfg file.
There is only one mm.cfg file and it is located at d:\users\myaccount\
Note however, that because I am using a solid state drive, I configured my system so that my user account folder is actually on the d: drive - separate from where all my applications are stored on the c: drive.
I have only one mm.cfg and moreover,
I can see that a line is added to mm.cfg with the right path and port to profile agent when I try to run profiler
but then profiler stops with an error mentioned above
I am having the very same problem and cannot find a way to get the Flash Builder 4 Profiler to work.
Does anyone have a solution to the problem?
Just some updates:
I had been interacting over connect sessions to lemtz over the same issue. Though I could see the problem, couldn't get to the root cause of the problem.
I asked him to roll back to 10.0 player and it works absolutely fine there.
I am still investigating this issue. In the meanwhile will try to get a pair of eyes from Flash Player team too.
Anand Gaurav.
Hey guys
There is a temp fix as Anand said , uninstall the current debug player and install the 10.0.xx debug player.
That worked for me. But remember that if you use IE activex debug player there is a specific instructions for removing the old version.
Here's the link to older players and there is also a tech note for how to uninstall the old ax player,
Someone mentioned on one of the JIRA bugs that he thought wmode="opaque" was interfering with the profiler and removing it made the profiler work for him. Do any of you have that set in the params?
that sounds weird, since you use it in html when you embed the flash object.
beside flash / html projects i use also a custom c# platform and flash and the profiling doesn't
work on either.
rolling back to 10.0 player seems to be the only solution right now...if anyone figures something ,
please post here.
we have the same problem
we are on a Active directory domain and our home path is set on the user network drive.
when i log on a local acount the profiler start working!
so i went back on a domain account and i use wireshark too analyse what the program is trying to do.
i found out that it was searching for the mm.cfg on the user network drive. so i copy the mm.cfg of the document and setting/username/ folder
on the network drive and the profiler start working ! Great!
but the probleme is that the application doesn't reedit the good mm.cfg (in the network drive) so its start to bug in debug mode.
its seems to be because of the profiler agent being call by the mm.cfg
so what can cause flash builder to editing the mm.cfg in document and setting/username/ folder and using the one in the home path?
i hope someone will find and answer to this question.
A related bug to sebastiensb's issue seems to be this: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-19102
Can you see the similarities here ?
Just to confirm, you were able to work before without any changes with 10.0 but not with 10.1 ?
Hey Anand
I'm on vacation right now, but i will try this in the evening when i have some time.
At this moment i can say that i didn't notice any 0.0.0.0:9999 connections when i was trying to figure out the profiler problem.
When switching to 10.0 i saw a connection to 127.0.0.1 made but with 10.1 didn't even try to establish any connection.
the profiler work fine when i use flash 10.0 and stop after switching on 10.1
"A related bug to sebastiensb's issue seems to be this: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-19102
Can you see the similarities here ?"
I could not see similarities in my case. My desktop is set to default location:
"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" in registry.
Still cannot profile in 10.1 (see my posts above for details)
Hey guys
I tested this also and had the default values.
But during a session with Anand my profiler started working.
Things that i did do before the session where:
1. Updated Windows (winxp pro eng).
2. Installed StarCraft 2.
Also i downloaded the flex 4.1 sdk and currently using it.
Don't know if these are the steps to overcome this problem but wanted to share this info is someone has the same kind of result, the profiler starts working.
Please post info if something comes up.
I was completely unable to reproduce the issue despite several attempts. The problem is the reason for this issue seems to just elude me. Can you list down your system details specially if some special configuring related to network is done on your system ? e.g. dual network cards etc ?
Below are the details of what i'm being experiencing:
1. no flashlog.txt generated when running application in flash player 10.1* debugger in both IE and FF/Chrome.
2. I can see that when I heat profile, mm.cfg gets edited with apropriate line that is path to profile agent.
3. Also if there are exception, they are thrown in all the browsers, so I definitely have debugger version.
4. Finally, when trying to profile the error "Unable to connect to application to fetch profile data...".
1. my profiler agent folder path is in trusted location in "Global Security Settings panel".
2. I've tried also to cancel this configuration, still get the same profiler error.
3. my computer is in the domain but no special configurations, i.e.: mm.cfg is in local users folder "C:\Documents and Settings\[my user name]". My desktop is set to default location: "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" in registry.
4. My system has only one network adapter that is configured by DHCP, i.e.: default configuration.
5. My system was upgraded to SP3 just to check if it solves the problem, but with no results as you can understand
System: Win XP SP3
Player Version: WIN 10,1,53,64
Debug: YES
Rolling back to Flashplayer 10.45.2 soves the problem!!!
Had the problem fixed with 10.1 for about a month with statically setting the ip to 127.0.0.1, however now we're back to a point of failure it seems. Previously only IE would work and now IE is failing as are all other browsers.
This is absolutely an insane problem. We have no other choice than to use 10.1 for our project and therefore we're hamstrung right now from having this problem.
Adobe Flash Builder team, will you please step up here and help us all out? We are really tired of having this unresolved and it should be embarrassing that it is not an isolated issue.
Um, Adobe Support (Tiers 1, 2 and 3) this is way out of hand: http://www.golen.net/blog/2010/08/16/adobe-worst-customer-support-ever

Chuck Norris does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word, Oxford will simply change the actual spelling of it. :D
The person we're talking about is hardly Chuck Norris. Ultimately, the point is, why dabble in rumors about the candidate which appeal to the "easily frightened" part of Americans, when there are so many substantive reasons not to support him?

Fishing Report - Last Update: 4/17/2014
|Baits, Method, & Location
|Channel Catfish
|Up to 5 lbs
|Prepared baits, dough baits and even hot dogs will catch Channel Catfish in the Wichita Area.
|White Crappie
|Up to 12"
|Crappie fishing should be picking up soon in the smaller lakes. Use small jigs or a minnow and fish around brush piles close to the shoreline. Crappie are best at the KDOT Lakes, Watson Park, K-96 lake and Chisholm North lake.
|Largemouth Bass
|Up to 18"
|Bass fishing in Wichita is best at Sedgwick County Park and the KDOT Lakes. Use large spinning lures and fish around logs and woody debris.
|Up to 1 lb
|Sunfish are a great choice when other fishing gets a little slow. A simple small piece of worm fished under a bobber near the shore will yield the best catches. Bluegill are present in every lake in the area, but are especially good at Blackbird and Sunflower ponds, Chisholm North lake, and Emery Park Pond.
|General Comments
Channel Catfish are planned for stocking on these dates: April 9/10, 24/25. May 8/9, 22. June 5/6, 26/27. July 10/11, 24. August 7/8, 28. Sept 11/12, 25. These dates may vary slightly, and not all lakes in the Wichita area are stocked on each day. For more information see our Fish Stocking Page.

text: Hi all - I was rushing through replacing a light fixture this weekend, and disconnected the wiring without noticing what I had. Turns out there was more going on than I realized. The fixture (light #2 in the attached) is controlled by two switches, and is down the hall from another light (light #1 in the attached) controlled by two other switches. After disconnecting the wiring for light #2, light #1 no longer works. There are three sets of wires (B, W, bare copper ground in each) in the can for light #2, and I found one wire (a black wire) that seems to be hot regardless of how the switches are positioned. I can't find the proper hook up to get everything working again. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated. Next time I'm taking a photo before I touch anything.

Howard Reich
10:08 AM CST, January 5, 2013
The Chicago cornetist Rob Mazurek has been producing unconventional, conceptually arresting work for years, most notably in his aptly named Exploding Star Orchestra.
Amid all of this, however, the music of his Pulsar Quartet stands out for a fragile lyricism cast against a swirl of ensemble sound. Somehow, this band can play at high decibel levels and produce galvanic rhythmic energy without overwhelming the sighs of Mazurek's horn.
Moreover, though the Pulsar Quartet can change direction, tempo and tone at the drop of a sixteenth note, its ideas flow easily and naturally, its members improvising as a single organism. No small feat, considering the complexity of this music.
All of this – and much more – was evident Friday night at the Green Mill Jazz Club, where Mazurek and the Pulsar Quartet celebrated the release of "Stellar Pulsations," an album that contains some of the most gripping small-group sounds of Mazurek's career.
The pulsing theme that launched "Primitive Jupiter" – which also opens the album – established the distinctive sonic vocabulary of this quartet. As Angelica Sanchez hammered chord clusters on piano and bassist Matthew Lux and drummer John Herndon hit equally hard, the clarion tone of Mazurek's cornet cut through the din.
At some moments, Mazurek's long-held notes soared above the near-chaos of improvisation unfolding around him. At others, Mazurek's themes were inseparable from the work of his colleagues, his themes woven inextricably into theirs.
But the surging power of "Primitive Jupiter" soon gave way to the extraordinary delicacy of "Magic Saturn." This composition/improvisation conveyed so much textural detail and subtlety of gesture that it might be considered a kind of jazz pointillism. Flecks of color, streaks of melody, bursts of harmony, splashes of dissonances emerged and disappeared in an instant, Mazurek's whispering lyricism on cornet giving this music its ever-shifting focal point.
In essence, during an extended set, the Pulsar Quartet retraced the course of the "Stellar Pulsations" album, from the quasi-orchestral tone painting of "Spiritual Mars" to the aggressive rhythms of "Spiral Mercury" to the hazy, nocturnal colorings of "Spanish Venus."
If the outer-space nomenclature recalled Gustav Holst's "The Planets," the comparison may be telling, even if Holst worked in another place (Britain), another time (the turn of the previous century) and another idiom (European classical music). Though "Stellar Pulsations" offers a more free-ranging, less programmatic sonic tour of our galaxy, it draws inspiration from the same infinite place.
Even apart from the fanciful titling, however, Mazurek's music enabled the Pulsar Quartet to create constantly changing layers of sound with remarkable transparency and copious musical invention. You didn't need the interplanetary guideposts to perceive the spatial depth of this music, nor its mystery, its seeming randomness, its indefinable beauty.
Though one wishes Mazurek had been more explicit in telling his audience the names of his compositions and the sequence in which they were played, it's not so difficult to understand why he didn't. This music developed with the force of nature, and it was not easily interrupted.
Rob Mazurek's Pulsar Quartet plays at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Green Mill Jazz Club, 4802 N. Broadway; $12; 773-878-5552 or greenmilljazz.com.

backup first all graphics kexts, now delete all from S/L/E USBInstaller
Still the same...
Jump to content
backup first all graphics kexts, now delete all from S/L/E USBInstaller
ok, see if you have SMBIOS in Extra, if you not have you need smbios MacBookPro6,1 and boot with -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 or 0x2000 and copy the two kexts from Extra for S/LE USBInstaller
-f -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 cpus=1
EDIT: USE THIS BOOT FLAG: -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 cpus=1 busratio=20
be patient, Sony Vayo is very difficult for install, you can try delete SMBIOS, and go for S/L/E Usbinstaller and delete AppleIntelCPUPowermanegemente.kext
You have delete all Graphics kexts??? NVidia, ATI, INTEL ???
use always the boot flag
-f -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 cpus=1
EDIT: USE THIS BOOT FLAG: -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 cpus=1 busratio=20
go for S/L/Caches folder and delete all contain of folder, what MAP of Partition you have Formated your USB , GUID or MBR?? POST a screenshot please!!!
It looks like a graphics issue. Try adding either PCIRoot=0 (try this first) or PCIRoot=1, with both GraphicsEnabler=Y and GraphicsEnabler=N, to the boot flags you're already using.
Report back, please.
P.S.: if it doesn't work, add -s boot flag (single user) and try this:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
mkdir /intelhd_backup
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelSNB* /intelhd_backup
Then reboot. Maybe this is some problem with your Intel HD. That was common with Lion.
in the photo OS X INSTALL USB is very slow DISK danger limit, see if you not plug USB in port esata, use other port USB 2.0 and try again
Wow, that's hard!
I'm assuming you have the latest chameleon installed, right? Older versions are unlikely to boot ML.
Well, it's a dead end for me. Don't know what more to advise, except to redo everything from scratch. Wait for other people to help you, but if anything works, try this method: http://myhack.sojuga.../mountain-lion/
Good luck!
if you have other PC or laptop try boot of installer for test if this boot the installer, this can be your USB is very Low for install, test it

This is my own creation. Sweet, mild, healthy, non-fishy tilapia is complimented by lemon, capers, butter, broth, and white wine in this satisfying and deceptively easy meal. I like my piccata lemony with touches of onion, garlic, and capers to round out the taste. This is a basic recipe for 1 lb. of filets. Please reduce this recipe accordingly if you use fewer filets, unless you want the leftunders as lunch or another dinner, like I do, if all is not eaten during the first go-round. I am a strong believer in flexibility, so experiment and substitute most any flaky white fish, pounded-flat veal or chicken cutlets, according to your creativity, pantry contents, budget, ingredient-availability, and personal tastes. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this recipe, including any suggestions, comments, and input. Thank you for reading and trying this recipe! SparkPeople rocks my world!

Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.
Venous insufficiency is caused by problems in one or more deeper leg veins. Normally, valves in your veins keep your blood flowing back towards the heart so it does not collect in one place. But the valves in varicose veins are either damaged or missing. This causes the veins to remain filled with blood, especially when you are standing.
The condition may also be caused by a blockage in a vein from a clot (deep vein thrombosis).
Swelling of the legs
Call your healthcare provider if you have symptoms of venous insufficiency.
Surgery (varicose vein stripping ) may be recommended.
Texas Health is committed to providing quality care to heart and vascular patients throughout North Texas and beyond. While various technologies and services are discussed here, not all of our hospitals offer every treatment and diagnostic technology highlighted. Call 1-877-THR-WELL to learn more about heart and vascular services at a Texas Health hospital near you.

I so request, Mr. President.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
Without objection, it is so ordered.
The unanimous-consent agreement as
subsequently reduced to writing is as
Ordered, That, e!l'ective at 12:15 p.m.,
on Friday, October 11, 1963, at the conclusion
of routine morning business, during the
further consideration or the bill (S. 1588} to
remove the $10 mUllan llmltatlon on programs
carried out under section 16(e} (7} of
the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment
Act for 1964 and subsequent calendar
years, debate on any amendment, motion,
or appeal, except a motion to lay on the
table and on final passage or the blll shall
be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided
and controlled, respectively, by the majority
and minority leaders or some Senators designated
by them: Provided further, That no
amendment that Is not germane to the provisions
or the said bill shall be received.
Mr. DIRKSEN. If the majority
leader will yield further, let me say I
understand that when action on Senate
bill 1588 is completed, the Senate will
resume the consideration of the aid to
education bill; and it is my further understanding
that the distinguished Senator
from North Carolina [Mr. ERVIN]
has two or three amendments to offer,
and there may be other amendments. So
I wonder whether the majority leader
can assure the Senate with respect to
the consideration of amendments and
any roll calls on Friday.
Mr. MANSFIELD. There may be a
yea-and-nay vote on the soil conservation
bill, although the indications are
that there will not be. But if it will be
of any assistance-! shall do this only
with the consent of the distinguished
chairman of the committee, who will be
handling the bill-I shall be willing, if
he will be, to consider a unanimousconsent
agreement to have the Senate
start voting on the amendments after
the convening of the Senate on Monday,
with 1 hour on each amendment. Is
that satisfactory?
Mr. ERVIN. That would be all right
on each amendment; but there will be
considerable debate on the bill.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Yes. How about
1 hour on each amendment and 4 hours
on the bill?
Mr. ERVIN. I am not sure about
that. In other words, the general debate
will probably take longer than that.
Mr. MANSFIELD. There will be
plenty of time for debate tomorrow, because
the Senate will be in session for
some hours then, and most of the debate
then will be on the bill.
Does the Senator have a suggestion to
Mr. DIRKSEN. If I may respectfully
suggest to the majority leader--
Mr. MANSFIELD. Then, Mr. President,
I ask unanimous consent that
there be 1 Y2 hours on each amendment
and 4 hours on the bill, and that the
time limitation become effective beginning
at 12 o'clock noon on Tuesday next.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. And
with the regular provisions included?
Mr. MANSFIELD. Yes.
Mr. KEATING. Let me ask the majority
leader what is intended for Monday.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Debate on this bill,
because I understand there will be a great
deal of debate, for many Senators are
interested in it. I know the distinguished
Senator from New York is.
However, I point out that, as alwaysand
this bill is no exception-the leadership
finds Itself In a bind, and this is
the best arrangement we can make and
still have it of benefit to the majority of
Senators. Unfortunately, we are requested
to do or not to do this, or that,
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
or Friday-although no Senator
asks for special consideration on Sunday.
So this is the situation with which we
are confronted, and we must try to work
out some arrangement.
Mr. ERVIN. Mr. President, will the
Senator from Montana modlfy his request
to the extent of having It provide
for ti hours of debate on the bill?
Mr. MANSFIELD. Yes. Mr. President,
I modify my request accordingly.
Mr. KEATING. It is my intention to
attend the Senate's session on Monday.
Mr. MANSFIELD. The distinguished
Senator from New York is in the Chamber
every day of the year.
Mr. KEATING. But I have very important
plans for Tuesday. I wonder
whether we could dispose of the amendments
on Monday, instead of just debating
the bill then. I do not believe I have
ever interposed an objection to a unanimous-
consent request.
Mr. MANSFIELD. The Senator from
New York Is correct; he has not done so.
I would not blame him for Interposing
objection at this time. If he does, It will
be thoroughly understood, and it will just
be one of the facts of life with which we
shall have to live.
Ml·. KEATING. When the distinguished
majority leader puts the matter
that way, I cannot bring myself to object.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Oh, no.
Mr. KEATING. I do not believe that
one Senator should, for his own convenience,
object. So I shall have to
cancel this engagement.
Mr. MANSFIELD. If the Senator
from New York wishes me to do so, I will
do my very best to see that he gets a live
pair, if he cannot get back in time.
Mr. KEATING. If the votes will be
taken later in the day, I believe I can
get back in time.
Mr. MANSFIELD. I assure the Senator
that there will be votes later in
The PRESIDING OFFICER
NELsoN in the chair). Is there objection
to the modified request?
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, I shall
not take it upon myself to object.
Mr. DffiKSEN. Mr. President, will
the Chair restate the proposed agreement?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Chair asks the Senator from Montana
to do so.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Will the Chair
put the question and have it voted on,
and then state what the agreement is?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection to the proposed agreement, as
modified? The Chair hears none; and
it is so ordered.
Mr. MANSFIELD. I thank the Chair.
The unanimous-consent agreement, as
subsequently reduced to writing, is as
Ordered, That e!l'ectlve on Tuesday, October
15, 1963, at the conclusion of routine mornIng
business, during the further consideration
of the bill (H.R. 6143} to authorize assistance
to public and other nonprofit institutions
or higher education In financing
the construction, rehabilitation, or Improvement
of needed academic and related facilities
In undergraduate and graduate Institutions,
debate on any amendment, motion,
or appeal, except a motion to lay on the
table, shall be limited to lY, hours, to be

of any such amendment or motion and the
majority leader: Provided, That In the event
the majority leader 1s In favor of any such
amendment or motion, the time In opposition
thereto shall be controlled by the
minority leader or some Senator designated
by him: Provided fUrther, That no amendment
that Is not germane to the provisions
of the said bill shall be received.
Ordered further, That on the question of
the final passage of the said blll, debate shall
be limited to 6 hours, to be equally divided
and controlled, respectively, by the majority
and minority leaders: Provided, That the
said leaders, or either or them, may, from
the time under their control on the passage
or the said bill, allot additional time to any
Senator during the consideration of any
amendment, motion, or appeal.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
respectfully request the Chair now to
state the agreement.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
agreement is that there will be 1 Y2 hours
on each amendment and 6 hours on the
bill, with the time to be equally divided,
and subject to the regular provisions.
Mr. ERVIN. To take effect when?
Mr. MANSFIELD. Beginning at noon
on Tuesday.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is
Mr. ERVIN. In other words, the
agreement will give us todall-and Monday
for general debate; is that correct?
Mr. MANSFIELD. That is correct-both
on this bill and on other bills.
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. Mr.
Mr. MANS D. I yield to the Sen-ator
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. Mr.
President, we in America are extremely
fortunate in that we have one of the
best forms of government ever conceived
by mankind.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 42 , Folder 8, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
18218 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE October 10
But that form of government will
stand only so long as its public omcials
respect the integrity of their omces and
it can hold and maintain the confidence
of the American people.
In recent weeks we have seen publicized
rather serious charges of questionable
transactions by an employee of
the U.S. Senate.
The Senate, which has never been reluctant
to call to task omcials of the
executive branch when questions were
raised concerning the propriety of their
conduct, has an even greater responsibility
to examine these charges that are
being made against one of its own employees.
To ignore these charges would be a
reflection on the integrity of the entire
membership of the U.S. Senate.
The Senate employee against whom
the charges were made was given ample
opportunity to appear in person to answer
these charges but he rejected this
invitation and instead submitted his
But these questions still remain and
they must be answered. The Senate and
the country have a right to know to what
extent public interest has been ignored.
I will not repeat the multitude of rumors
circulating the Capital, none of
which should be accepted as factual until
proven, but none of which are so unimportant
that they can be ignored without
being fully checked.
All of these allegations can and should
be submitted to a committee of the Senate
and to the Department of Justice for
their examination. The record must be
made clear that the Senate does not
consider this case closed merely by the
resignation of an employee.
The integrity of the U.S. Senate is at

Before Charlie Trotter revealed he had quit serving foie gras and suggested eating the liver of fellow Chicago chef Rick Tramonto, before Ald. Joe Moore proposed that the city ban the sale of the fat livers of force-fed ducks, before the City Council enacted the ban and prompted Mayor Richard M. Daley to declare it "the silliest law that they've ever passed," before two years of foie gras prohibition followed as some Chicago restaurants continued serving the forbidden dish by giving it away or offering it under other names, and before the City Council repealed the ban with almost as little discussion as it had passed it in the first place, there was California.
On Sept. 29, 2004, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law Senate Bill 1520, which bans the force-feeding of birds and the sale of products derived from this process. The law would remove foie gras from hundreds of menus up and down the state and would shutter California's sole foie gras farm, Sonoma Foie Gras, one of only three such farms that distribute throughout the U.S.
So the California law became a ticking time bomb as Chicago embarked upon its foie gras adventure, protests sprang up and faded in cities such as Philadelphia and Seattle and legislatures in New Jersey, Hawaii and other states defeated anti-foie gras measures even as cities such as San Francisco and San Diego passed ordinances encouraging restaurants to remove the fat livers from their menus.
Chicago's repeal gave a big boost to the chefs and producers who wanted to keep foie gras legal, but now the pendulum has swung the other way. California is bigger than Chicago, after all, and the two-year Chicago ban didn't legislate a farm out of existence. And at least for now, California doesn't look inclined to reverse its decision.
"While the foie gras lobby was very influential in Chicago, it's a very different political dynamic in California," said Paul Shapiro, vice president of farm animal protection for the Humane Society of the United States. "The author of the bill is the chairman of the California Democratic Party, and he's a very influential person in California politics."
Marcus Henley, operations manager for Hudson Valley Foie Gras in New York, agreed that former state Senate President and current California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton is a major force.
"He's been very tenacious in defending the bill, so I don't think in an election year there are people who want to go forward in the legislature in the face of the Democratic Party chairman," Henley said.
Pushing a bill through two state legislative bodies is certainly tougher than getting the Chicago City Council to shift gears. Chicago's initial foie gras ban passed when the ordinance was slipped into the April 2006 omnibus bill containing thousands of pieces of legislation and thus passed 48-1.
After two years of lobbying from the Illinois Restaurant Association, less than vigorous enforcement of the law and protestations of international embarrassment among some aldermen and the mayor, the council repealed the ban 37-6, also with no debate.
"It was a unique situation in Chicago," said chef, author and TV host Anthony Bourdain, an outspoken opponent of foie gras bans. "You basically had one guy who enacted a ban and then another guy who overturned it. I think Chicago got lucky. I don't think that's likely to happen (in California)."
After the repeal, animal-rights activists pretty much dropped the matter in Chicago. But protesters against foie gras in California have been trying to shore up popular opinion against the dish while chefs rally to save the delicacy.
Sonoma Foie Gras is basically history at this point. Owner Guillermo Gonzalez, a Salvadoran immigrant, leases his farm, and the owner didn't extend him beyond June 30 for obvious reasons.
"The clock is ticking, and we're shutting down," Gonzalez said.
Still, he's taking flak from anti-foie forces for a letter he wrote in 2004 in which he said he'd have the "moral stature" to close his business in 2012 if science and government had not deemed his farming methods to be acceptable by then. That letter coincided with his agreement to go along with the California ban provided that the state grant him the 71/2-year grace period and indemnify him from animal-rights groups' lawsuits that were threatening his business. (See sidebar.)
Shapiro complained that Gonzalez essentially has "reversed himself" by opposing the ban now. "At some point you have to reap what you sow," the Humane Society official said.
But Gonzalez argued that science and government never bothered to investigate whether the farm's treatment of ducks is cruel, so it's not fair for his practices, which he believes to be "acceptable animal husbandry," to be vilified.
"My personal lobbying right now is for those studies to happen to set the record straight," Gonzalez said. "Right now they are condemning me without actual proof."
Despite the long grace period, foie gras defenders were slow to take action against the California ban. In April more than 100 California chefs, including Thomas Keller of The French Laundry in Napa Valley, coalesced around the new Coalition for Humane and Ethical Farming Standards, which laid out practices for the treatment of food animals, including force-feeding (or "hand-feeding") ducks in pens, not cramped cages (as are employed in Canada and France).
Did California learn anything from Chicago's foie gras ban?

i think that those albums are too distinct, and with different goals, that they can't really be compared...maybe only in a stylistic comparison.
Point taken. My issue with Blessed is the flat and uninteresting production...From a wider scope, I would call Altars stronger because it is more logical in its execution. The songs make sense in sequence, the feral energy of the band as a unit is perfectly preserved, and the (perhaps unintentional) proto black metal influence really just pushes the album up to extraordinary heights. They flawlessly blended their inspirations together and produced an album which has stood the test of time strongly.

Babe magnet Before I bought this shirt, I was a total loser. I couldn't get a job, I couldn't drive a car, and women ran away from me screaming in horror. But now that I own this shirt, my life has totally turned around. Whenever I wear it, I get approached by sexy models who want to run their hands all over it because it feels so soft and smooth. I got a job and am now being groomed to replace the CEO of our company. Which is good because, I got a new Maserati. All because of this shirt. January 31, 2014

Man arrested on suspicion of murder after dead body found in Walkden flat (From This Is Lancashire)
Man arrested on suspicion of murder after dead body found in Walkden flat
5:29pm Friday 27th December 2013 in News
A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 62-year-old was found dead in a flat.
He was discovered, unconscious, at 8.30pm on Boxing Day, at Stock's Court, Walkden.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination has not revealed the cause of his death, police said.
The man was found by police investigating a road accident earlier that day, at about 2pm, in Walkden Road.
A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in police custody.
A neighbour said: "It's really worrying, I have two teenage children living with me. A month ago someone tried to break in to the bottom flat at the other side of the building and a few weeks ago at 4am the alarms in the whole building went off after there was a power cut.
"The only thing I've noticed that is different from usual recently is that the lights outside the building haven't been working for a few days so it's really dark coming into the building."
"The police have been outside since Thursday night at about 10.30pm. An officer knocked on our door and asked if there were any cameras outside but as far as I know there aren't. Then this morning yellow police tape had been put up."
A police spokesman said enquiries are ongoing.
