I tried installing Raring 3981 on a headless system, using an iso on a rewrite CD. The install succeeded with X auto-installing to the max resolution. Resizing using the startup window offered option does not work (it never has), so I ticked the restart X option. The auto-install X system does permit reset to other resolutions, but instead of restarting only X, the system wants to fully restart, shutting down and making a save-file. This can't be done with no head (HDD), which means shutdown no-save and restart bringing the auto-install of X at max resolution. Is this a newest-woof feature, or newest-woof bug?
I tried to work around by saving to disk, since my media was a rewrite CD and not closed. I assumed I could make a machine-specific remaster and so dodge around the problem. But the save-to-disk blanked my media... I'll have to re-install the iso on my Cd befoe I can try installing "nox" and installing X by qizard at the desired resolution. I assume that will work, but I wonder if it is possible to revert to, or option in, the old non-auto X, so one CD can be used to install to different headless machine?

CLAM01. I am afraid the changed xorgwizard through woof creates your problem. The fix should go through Barry Kauler and the improvement implemented to the woof. I believe there would be solution.
Meanwhile, you could try: ppower tray app, right click it > Hardware control > Screen > Change resolution and select from the availabe list.
Does that work.

Hi @CLAM01
I saw you comments on your system's issue.
On a different note, though, am I reading you correctly; are you booted and running on a Live CD system (meaning booting and running in RAM from CD)?
If so, at reboot/shutdown time, your system should be giving the option to save to the very same CD/DVD you booted from.
But, for this to work, you MUST have created your CD/DVD in multisession mode from the ISO. Both PBurn and Burn2CD will, each, provide the option to create the disc in multisession mode so that it will allow Puppy, when needed, to write your saved session. Thereby, ALL system changes during its running will be saved on the Live media disc on any subsequent reboot. Your HDD/USB is never needed in this case for anything to do with system operations.
Hope this helps

pemasu, Thanks, I'll try the ppower workaround and post how it works. I have to return to a computer on which I can re-CD the iso to try again. If I can't find an anybody-can-do workaround I will query Barry re the over-automated auto-X (when X-at-install was upgraded to default to 24-planes, so it black-screened 16-plane machines [most business-laptops are 16, for battery-life being more important than aesthetic beauty in the business world] there was still vesa to get started and the 16-plane option in xorgwizard; perhaps vesa-and-then-upgrade can be returned as an option).
gcmartin, My headless units are total-security kiosk-type setup: new install from read-only CD each startup, install to and run in ram, scan to new net-setup each time, everything goes at shutdown, next start as clean (or dirty) as th CD image.
Downloads are restricted to ram personal storage limit (unless a stick or card is added and link-targeted), and if not so, or transferred to a stick or card at end of session, are vaporized with shutdown.
I multi-session (I called it leaving open in my post) the CDs and fill the extra with SFSs of extras (libreoffice, etc) for on-the-fly access (they also work for normal puppy installations). When I am checking out latest puppies I copy the iso to a rewrite cd, also multisession. If I like the puppy I make CDR disks for normal use. Since the machine I was experimenting with has a writing CD player, I thought to try saving to CD to get a restart at the desired resolution. I thought to then remaster for the specific machine (it having enough ram), then write the new master iso back to the rewritable CD. Then I could restart the machine at the desired resolution.
But the save-to-CD process, rather than going to the next track, wrote over the iso.
These things happen in experimenting, and it was my first attempt to use the save-to-CD option, so I may have done something wrong.

Dear Pemasu,
hope Finland +yourself... are enjoying somewhat better weather conditions. Here i got sunburned (nek + nose...
) at doing outdoor jobs.
I made a comparison between raring and wheezy-3.5.2.x relevant to mesa stuffs:
- In upup raring 126.96.36.199: /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so is ca. 385K sized; whereas it is 14M in wheezy-3.5.2.x;
- In wheezy-3.5.2.x, /usr/lib/dri/ is only populated with swrast_dri.so; not any i915_dri.so r others;
- In Wheezy-3.5.2.x i noticed these comments coming upon launching gCAD3D im a terminal:
GL_RENDERER: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x209)
GL_VERSION: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.5
GLU_EXTENSIONS: GLU_EXT_nurbs_tessellator GLU_EXT_object_space_tess
AP_Get_Setup /root/gCAD3D/cfg/gCAD3D.rc |TEXTURE_ON|
...GL_renderer is reported as Gallium
As gCAD3D runs nice on wheezy using swrast_dri.so, i wonder how to reproduce the same working conditions on raring-188.8.131.52 ? I believe it could run OK with a similar dri modules configuration.
I got mesa-9.1.2 compiled on raring-188.8.131.52 using the same options as these (got i915_dir.so, i965...r300 r600 ...swrast_dri.so).
but with a resulting very slow frame-per-secong rate using swrast_dri.so.
(swrast_dri.so about 20M sized).
In whezy, I did not found any gallium file nor folder ...?
So do you use different configure options ..or what else?
Thanks for any answer

Since introducing ( I believe ) llvm support for radeon drivers, gallium has been compiled as shared library. Previously, as in in wheezy mesa, it has been compiled statically in dri drivers, which makes those dri drivers bigger. Of course you can compile mesa as you which, ie compile gallium statically or as shared lib. That makes the big difference in dri driver size. As you have noticed. Ubuntu Raring and even Precise has libllvm for radeon drivers. The change how to include gallium lib for dri happened at that time, I think. The reason why libgallium shared versus static is important is unknown for me.
With mesa 9.1.4 there isnt anymore choice for disabling libllvm. So there is no future sense to try to compile mesa without libllvm support. Mesa 9.1.4 is now already in proposed state. You can download Raring mesa 9.1.4 already and try it. I have even made one big pet of mesa 9.1.4 and tested it. Worked fine.

With 3.9.8 kernel I noticed that sometimes huawei 3g modem connection interrupts.
I have followed what dmesg says:
hub 2-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2
Might be problem with hardware or it can be harmless.
3.9.9 kernel has fix for:
USB: fix port probing
and a lot other usb fixes. It seems 3.9.9 is mainly usb fix update.
Also I wasnt satisfied of the responsiveness of this kernel. I think that I know what influenced into it and that is another reason to recompile kernel. It means recompile of the proprietary drivers but...then I am going to let 3.9.X series to be. 3.10.X is another story.....
I have other fixes. Libiculess build, some other unneeded stuff removed, makes iso about 6 Mb smaller.
Mesa-9.1.4 will be soon ready to be included in database ( it is already ready for download as splitted .debs in launchpad ) and I will see if I get that one to the build also. Better support for f2fs usb full install is under the work and that woof upgrade i will sure use.

Hi pemasu,
please, consider removing Wayland libs:
I maybe wrong, but without them, switching between keyboard layouts seems to work more reliably. Observed this both in BK's and this Raring. And you'll also free up about 258K?, don't remember exactly.

Post subject: mesa-9.1.4 compile trial
Hi Pemasu,
i do not know which debian packages are to install to get mesa-9.1.4 and to get gCAD3D running OK with TEXTURE displayed together with an acceptable rendering speed. I got a try resulting in a very very slooow running gCAD3D.
Then i managed to try compiling Mesa-9.1.4 ...
i got a first set of swrast_dri.so + i915_dri.so, without error message; just a warning telling llwm was missing;
Here are the used configure options;
+ launching ./autogen.sh (to get m4 stuffs + launch of /usr/bin/autoconf)
sh-4.1# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-dri --enable-glx --with-gallium-drivers="i915,swrast" --with-dri-drivers="i915,swrast"
gcad3d runs with TEXTURE display , BUT very slowly.
Doing a new Mesa-9.1.4 compile showed some deps were missing in the first trial - i.e. llvm3.4-dev was missing.
I also had to symlink all files in /usr/lib/llvm-3.4/bin/ to /usr/bin.

Also, at this point, i believe it is above my knowledges ... sniff!
I would be interested which results you get with the mesa pet you mentionned in an above post ...

Pemasu, Getting back to you in regard to resetting screen resolutions in X in 3981 and 399. I've done some experimenting, these are the results: Using the power-applet to change resolution solution you suggested does change the screen resolution. It does not resize the screen to fit the new resolution to the frame. Going to a larger-image resolution (to 1200x768 from 1600x1200) leaves the right and bottom of the desktop image 'off-camera' and the usual mechanisms to pan to the off-screen areas do not work. The on-screen advice is to restart (after a save), when X will fit the new resolution to the screen-space. This cannot be done using read-only media and no HDD.
But the problem occurred installing using defaults, letting X probe and select, both at install and at resize. The machine has ATI graphics and X was selecting ATI, which is "no KMS" and requires the machine to restart. User-selecting "Radeon, (requires KMS)" for the restart brought X restart only and solved the problem.
I tried 3981 and 399 headless install on an Intel machine, too, whose graphics start vesa on only half the screen, requiring an X reset which brings the correct resolution for the screen. On this machine the Intel driver messages the same "no KMS" and "requires restart", but only X restarts, and works normally.
So the problem is the ATI graphics option, with the cure being to use the Radeon driver.
Frisbee, however, could not find my wireless. Frisbee wanted to auto-connect to a strongest signal in the test area, which is not the correct one. I may wrestle with this someday. Meanwhile, I will use 387 and previous, which work in these set-ups out of the box, with the old network wizard allowing step-by-step directing of wireless set-up, allowing choice of cards and networks nodes.
Automation is great when you don't need versatility.
gcmartin, My save-to-CD failure I found to have been due to incompatibilities. I use old 4x RWCDs for my OS install experiments. Modern Super-Drives can write 4x for DVDs still writing that slow. CD writing that slow, with modern processors,uses so little resources it can be backgrounded, so it is convenient. Most high-speed CD-only writers, and CD-writer-DVD-reader units, cannot run slow enough spindle speeds to write 4x. My session-write attempt failed for the writer in the machine being one of the unable to slow enough. With a faster writable CD the modify and save-modified-X work around would probably have worked.

Celtics' late run overcomes Kings
By MIKE SHALIN
The Sports Xchange
— The Boston Celtics, playing without their starting guard, exploded on a 19-2 fourth-quarter run and captured their third straight win on Friday night.
With both guards Rajon Rondo (soreness) and Avery Bradley (ankle) sitting out, forward Jared Sullinger scored nine of his 31 points and guard Jerryd Bayless hit two 3-pointers and ran the offense during the run to power Boston to a 99-89 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Sullinger, who also had 16 rebounds, scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.
Bayless, who came off the bench, had 19 points and four assists and forward Jeff Green scored 17 points despite a 6-of-20 shooting night.
the Kings, playing without forward Rudy Gay (illness) and guard Marcus Thornton (hip, knee) saw their two-game winning streak snapped despite 31 points and 16 rebounds by center DeMarcus Cousins and 24 points and six assists from guard Isaiah Thomas.
Swingman Gerald Wallace, starting at guard, had eight points, 12 rebounds, nine assists and two steals for the Celtics, while rookie forward Kelly Olynyk came off the bench with 11 points and eight rebounds.
The Kings used a 14-3 run in the final minutes of the first quarter to go up by eight at the end of one. But the Celtics scored the last two points of the quarter to start a 12-0 run that put them ahead by two. The teams went back and forth and Boston led by three at the break.
Sacramento scored the first six points of the third quarter, prompting Celtics coach Brad Stevens to call a quick timeout. Whatever he said worked as his team went on a 10-0 run out of the timeout — eight of the points by Sullinger. But ahead by seven, the Celtics saw the visitors score seven straight points and it was tied again.
Boston opened a six-point lead but led by two at the end of the third quarter.
Thomas and Bayless drew technical fouls for a near scrap in the fourth quarter.
Boston hosts Dallas on Sunday at 6 p.m.

Lifting limits: McCutcheon and raw politics
April 06. 2014 5:18PM
Last week the U.S. Supreme Court in McCutcheon v. FEC struck down aggregate campaign contribution limits as unconstitutional, and on cue the left went bananas. Despite the hysteria, this is not the end of American civilization. Nor does it represent the demise of representative democracy or any similar overblown nonsense. What it does is threaten incumbents.
As Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in McCutcheon, "The right to participate in democracy through political contributions is protected by the First Amendment, but that right is not absolute. Congress may regulate campaign contributions to protect against corruption or the appearance of corruption. ... It may not, however, regulate contributions simply to reduce the amount of money in politics, or to restrict the political participation of some in order to enhance the relative influence of others."
The last line is the key. Campaign contribution limits do not protect "democracy." They empower the state to restrict the political participation of citizens. Such restrictions have the effect of solidifying rather than weakening the advantages of incumbency and the powers of the media.
The idea that Super PACs and wealthy donors threaten democracy with their political spending is a myth. The Los Angeles Times reported after the 2012 election that Republican-affiliated Super PACs spent hundreds of millions of dollars, but Democrats still won. "In fact, groups allied with President Obama claimed more success, even though they were outspent," the Times reported.
The lesson of 2012 is that message and organization trump money. The urge to restrict money (read, speech) in politics is an impulse driven either by irrational fear or base self interest. It is not a noble or disinterested cause. It is raw, hardball politics masquerading as a noble cause.

Posts tagged with "Bookmobile"
The Library's new bookmobile is making its rounds with a new look and great updates users will appreciate. The new color and graphics on the outside are just the beginning. It is three feet longer so it has more room to carry the newest books, movies, music and magazines. It also has a higher ceiling, additional skylights and better lighting. And with lower steps into the bookmobile, it is even easier to come aboard. In addition to the added space, it has a new "green" feature – a battery pack that helps save fuel by using the generator less. Check here to see when it is coming to a stop near you.To visit the What's Up at the Library blog homepage, click here.

The aging turboprop filled with a squad of blue-clad Italian riot police banks over the Mediterranean and descends onto a tiny, wind-swept island that emerges like an apparition from the turquoise waters near Tunisia.
Lampedusa has been a base for fishing fleets, an exile for radicals and Mafiosi and a vacation spot in summer, when the population multiplies tenfold. Today, it is the border.Like the U.S.-Mexico line, this island -- an hour's flight south of Sicily -- has become a rampart between two worlds. Lampedusa, all 12 square miles of it, serves as a gateway to Europe for seagoing migrants who are smuggled, abused and exploited by criminals and, allegedly, officials in Libya, the main staging ground for the illicit journeys.
Last year, Italian security forces based here intercepted about 34,000 illegal immigrants on precarious vessels from Africa, double the number in the previous year. That human wave from the south has collided with a powerful countercurrent: a Europe-wide move to fortify borders that has been intensified by the global economic meltdown.
In recent weeks, Italy announced tough measures against seagoing migrants, who account for 15 percent to 20 percent of illegal entrants. In the past, immigrants knew they would be held on Lampedusa for only a few days, then be transferred to facilities on the Italian mainland. Often, authorities at overcrowded detention centers gave the prisoners deportation orders but released them, which provided them a shot at remaining in Europe.
Now, instead of being transported to the mainland, inmates who don't qualify as political refugees remain jailed here until they can be sent home. After the changes, the population at the island's detention center doubled, approaching 2,000. Tension spread. Tempers flared. On Feb. 18, more than 100 Tunisians set fires and brawled with riot police in the smoke and flames.
When the unrest was over, a cellblock had burned down and there were scores of injured, mostly police.
"I treated 72 police officers and 24 migrants," said Laura Rizzello, a Red Cross nurse who has spent three years on Lampedusa.
The rage has subsided for now. On a recent afternoon, inmates played soccer beneath barred windows festooned with colorful North African garments while firefighters and construction workers demolished the cellblock gutted by fire. A few miles away, dogs slept on a street populated chiefly by a small army involved in immigration enforcement: police, bureaucrats, and coast guard and navy personnel.
Demographics and prosperity have pushed Italy into a headlong transformation, from a country that generated immigration to one that has absorbed an estimated 4 million immigrants, a foreign population second only to Spain's.
The backlash results partly from the clout in the government of the Northern League, a formerly secessionist party with hard-line immigration policies. Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, a Northern League leader, has declared that the time has come to "get mean" with illegal immigrants. A rise in violent crime by immigrants and the repercussions of the economic crisis intensify the political heat.
"The government is concerned about immigration, but the country needs immigrants," said political scientist Franco Pavoncello, president of John Cabot University in Rome. "There are pressures of immigration on the government structures, a lot of tension."

Deerfield Beach
Deerfield Beach is a city in Florida.
Deerfield Beach fronts the Atlantic Ocean, and the sea beach is its most popular attraction.
Deerfield Beach is named for the numerous deer that once roamed the area. It is part of the South Florida metropolitan area.
The hurricane season largely coincides with the wet season. 69% of the city's annual rainfall occurs during the five month summer period. The hurricane season is between 1 June and 30 November, with major hurricanes most likely to affect Florida in September and October. The most recent storms to directly affect the city were Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma, both of which struck the city in 2005; other direct hits were Hurricane Cleo in 1964, Hurricane King in 1950 and the 1947 Fort Lauderdale Hurricane.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Getting schooled outside the classroomBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 16. 2013 11:22PM
Manchester teenager Allie Nault has done her part, in a small way, to ease the crowded classroom situation in the city high schools.
In the fall, she dropped out of her freshman science class at West High School and pushed her educational frontier into cyberspace. Now, she learns concepts such as energy and electrical current through her desktop computer at home, thanks to the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School; VLACS for short.
The virtual classroom has been embraced by Mayor Ted Gatsas, whose enthusiasm prompted him to line up private-sector donors to beef up high school computer labs to accommodate virtual learning. Sometime next week, computer labs in the city's three high schools should be retrofitted and ready for VLACS.
"The stuff I'm learning here, I'm learning in more detail than in class," said Nault, who switched for scheduling reasons.
VLACS is not a video classroom where students watch a teacher in some far-off classroom. Rather, it involves lessons, most of which must be read, enhanced with computer graphics.
For example, a graphic can illustrate the movement of electrons when it comes to electrical current.
A conductivity lesson involves Nault using her cursor to move images of electrical leads over images of various materials.
Nault said she's never learned material so easily. And if she's stumped, she can email or even telephone (so passé) her teacher, who works out of her home in Windham.
"Ten minutes later, I have an answer," Nault said. "That's a lot faster than in school, when I have a question in math, and she (the teacher) has to answer 20 trillion other questions."
Get ready for virtual learning, Manchester. Manchester students are currently enrolled in 555 VLACS courses. The mayor loves the idea. And city businesses have ponied up some $37,000 to jump-start it.
But VLACS will not likely be as easy or transformative as its supporters expect. After all, this is Manchester, where nothing new happens without a fight, and politics is as popular a sport as Central football.
-- Bandwidth. Nault said she doesn't go virtual at West; Internet speeds are too slow. By the time she loads a browser and then VLACS software, she has 15 minutes for a virtual lesson.
Gatsas said he doesn't know the reason for slow Internet speeds.
He said the contributions used to fit up high school computer labs can be used to improve bandwidth.
-- Dropping out. Manchester students don't do too well in the virtual ed world. According to VLACS, only 62 percent of Manchester students completed their VLACS courses, compared to 81 percent statewide.
Steve Kossakoski, chief-executive of VLACS, said he can't explain the discrepancy but hopes the rate may improve with in-school labs.
-- Teacher push back. Teachers' union President Ben Dick said he understands students have different learning styles, and VLACS may work better for some students. But he worries virtual learning will replace traditional classrooms, teachers will lose their jobs, and kids will be forced into a learning style that doesn't work for them.
Most students, he said, need a teacher to keep them on task.
"I'll be willing to bet I interact with students better than the computer screen does," Dick said.
-- Uncertain finances. Right now, there's no reason for the mayor not to love VLACS. A state fund dedicated to charter schools covers the cost of the 555 courses that Manchester students now take, while the city treasury continues to receive state adequacy aid for students taking those courses.
But school officials are good at bean counting, and this won't last forever. Manchester will eventually have to start paying for the virtual courses, which amounts to about $900 for a full-year, one-credit course.
-- Teacher pay. Dick said his labor-oriented concerns would go away if Manchester teachers could teach Manchester kids who opt for VLACS. The 13 full-time VLACS instructors currently each earn $42,400 a year, plus benefits, which equates to the salary of a fifth-year teacher in Manchester.
And Dick said he doesn't like the piecework nature of VLACS pay: A teacher only gets paid when the student completes the course work.
Despite the misgivings, Gatsas remains optimistic.
Give children opportunities, and they will find a way to achieve, he said.
He said the new labs should address the problems dealing with bandwidth and low-completion rates of Manchester students.
"Things will work themselves out," he insists. And he dismissed suggestions the virtual classes would be used to eliminate real classrooms. It's all about giving students different opportunities and options, he said.
Nault said she still likes high school and would never abandon it entirely for her desktop. After all, there is lunch, study hall and unified arts programs, which don't work very well in the digital world, especially the lunch part.
Other advantages of VLACS: The virtual class frees her up for a school study hall, and she works on her lesson whenever she wants. (Sunday morning is a favorite.)
"Not all kids are motivated enough to sit in front of a computer," she said. "It just depends on the teaching style a kid wants."

Cattle on feed on Nov. 1 in feedlots with capacity of 1,000 head or more, at 10.6 billion head, was down 6 percent from November 2012 and the lowest November number since 1996.
That shows a continued trend of fewer available cattle, said Derrell Peel, livestock economist with Oklahoma State University.
Some industry observers noted placements into feedlots during October increased 10 percent over last October, he said, but October 2012 placements were an all-time low in USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service cattle on feed series.
October is the biggest month of the year for placement, but those placements are still relatively small, he said.
Cattle on feed on Oct. 1 was at its lowest level for October since 1998, followed by November's 15-year low.
There are just fewer feeder cattle available, and indications are there are fewer heifers going into feedlots, Peel said.
Last month's cattle on feed report showed an 8 percent decrease in heifers on feed compared to a year earlier, and recent auction reports are showing high prices for replacement heifers, he said.
Cattle producers have attempted to retain heifers for herd rebuilding for the past two years, but drought conditions forced those heifers into feedlots and postponed any rebuilding. Producers are trying even more now and will move forward with rebuilding barring another drought, he said.
That'll keep the supply of heifers into feedlots tight into 2015 and will reduce the overall cattle available to feedlots, he said.
Prices are already reflecting the short supply of feeder cattle. Prices should be at seasonal lows with spring calves heading to feedlots, but feeder cattle prices have been very strong over the last month and are still strong, he said.
A 500-pound feeder steer at auction is bringing $195 to $205 per hundredweight, and the same weight heifer – which normally sells about 11 percent lower – is bringing as much or more. That's an indication that producers are retaining heifers, he said.
Heifers at auction in several parts of the country are going for $200 per hundredweight to as high as $240 per hundredweight. In a few cases, they are even selling by the head like bred heifers or cows, bringing $1,100 to $1,400 for a 500 pound to 600 pound animal, he said.
Bred heifers in Oklahoma were bringing $1,600 to $2,200 a head two weeks ago, compared with $800 over the last couple of drought years. Bred heifer and cow demand will taper off now but pick up again in the spring, he said.
Tight feedlot supplies are going to show up in slaughter and beef supplies in the fourth quarter of 2013. Year-to-date beef production is 1 percent below a year ago, but is projected to decline 5.4 percent in the fourth quarter compared with year-earlier production, he said.
Beef production in 2014 will see a very sharp drop, with slaughter down 7 percent and beef production down 6.5 percent, he said.
The tight cattle supply is also showing up in fed cattle prices, which hit a record high of $132 per hundredweight a few weeks ago and holding steady at $130 to $131. Those prices are set to hit a record $135 to $140 by the end of the first quarter 2014, he said.

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Geren said Saturday, Feb. 26, that SS Josh Horton might be a little ahead of most of the players in camp when it comes to swinging the bat because he played three weeks in winter ball, reports Susan Slusser, of the San Francisco Chronicle. Horton is considered a long shot to win a backup infielder job out of camp. In addition to playing shortstop, he can also play second and third base.

These "shocked" people you speak of, are they your peers?
"Oh no not Tea!!!!! Quick Mokuba which one's Tea?!"
i never liked the term girl gamer. they are females who play video games.
however it is a good change of pace to hear a variety of voices in the online lobbies. doesn't mean they are treated differently from any other opponent or player controlled character.
hell, i don't even call myself a gamer, even back when i bought gamer magazines every month. just so you know, tips and tricks, electronic gaming monthly and the strategy guide based affiliate to electronic gaming monthly until i chose to save money for other things, such as more games.
I understand how that feels. I dont think I was influenced by a Male to play.... I wanted to play on my own. GUys tend to react funny when you tell them that ur a gamer. BUt you'd think they get over it already!!...The only guys who arent shocked are the guys in my classes(game programming major) ..crazy..LOL
I do get the feeling sometimes like they dont take me seriously...but whatever I've been playing video games since I was 3... ^_^
Come check out my blog/futureWebShow/Chat/Site... ^_^
I loooove gamer girls
Hello there! Let\'s talk :D
mostly boys in my school that i know
so pretty much just pple i'm friendy and have know for a while
I sneezed :P

P.S. there world is a wonderful place go outside and mingle with the good people randomly
tekken 6 is a wondrous game...sf4 used to like it but now meh
what do they main?
Why yes i am a Gamer Girl. :D
Tales of series person!
or any RPG games are alright.
just updated her status.
I'm a female; Obviously you can tell by my user name, I'm not very much of a gamer, however I do play games, but I guess you can say I was influenced by the male gamers, my father used to play video games and pc games before he died, then my bro's got into it on an early age. In fact we had like the old console players that allowed you to play the arcade games like star ship or whatever, you'd had the control and then you had the paper control that you put on it and each game had a different one for it's settings, I always thought that was weird but whatever. Unfortunately we had to throw it away though because it had some issues, and was really old. I only started playing the stupid card games, since I didn't know any better I was naive and poor, however soon then I found out that, they're some online games for free so I started playing one, and became addicted to it, however I have recently stopped since it was getting boring. I suck at gaming, and I am also quite impatient, so I don't play many games, only ones that I think I can play, lol. Although I wouldn't mind watching my brothers play or a gamer that hosts youtube video's if I see a game that's entertaining enough, like resident evil and silent hill gotta love ZOMBIES and also the dead!!!!!
You know I'm a bit surprised to see this topic on Crunchyroll at all. I know alot of people who play games also watch anime and vice-versa, but a "Girl-gamer" discussion here? Now for the record, before I offend anyone please know I'll play games with anyone guy or girl. Hopefully one day we will be able to game and stop the useless and childish act of stigmatizing one another. 1-love God bless.
My war on reality!
Every time I saw a game trailer on TV that seems interesting, I'll just get it and play.
The way to easily watch video on CR can be found in my profile
1. I was fell in love with Ash, the main character of pokemon... my first video game is pokemon on advanced game boy and i got my first video game console is dreamcast, which i love play haunted house 2 on dreamcast, but now, they are still selling but on wii... before ps2 and other games came out. Dreamcast was last video game of sega company. I think some people play the games to run away from realistic world and they all want are in their own worlds.
2. I'm play Inferno Dante and Assassin Creed 2 and Darksiders on PS3. My boyfriend will buy FFXIII for me plus my brother will buy God of War 3 and, spring break I will play and I'm sure I will finish the games. xD
私はあなたをストーカーしている。どのように怖い!xD xD
I don't know that many girl gamers. I know they're out there, I just don't know them. My best friends liked playing games when we were younger on Nintendo, sega genesis, n64, & ps1, but it seemed like most girls in school thought games were meant for boys. Even my guy friends didn't talk about games very often because I think they believed girls don't want to hear about that kind of stuff.
I'm more of a casual gamer. I grew up mostly on adventure, racing, & fighting. My brother got me into shooters, starting with Halo(which I passed on to my two best friends). Then he made me try Gears of War, but I didn't really get into it until the sequel. Another time he got me to try COD4 which I used to think looked boring, but is surprisingly addictive online. Then I gave COD2 a shot & liked it, though I prefer watching him play 2&4 than playing myself.
Gears2 is really the only game I play online now. I've gotten mixed reactions when guys realize I'm a girl. Most people are cool about it & some are surprised that I'm better than them or that a girl could be that good, but I've bumped into a few jerks telling me to go back to the kitchen & stuff like that(coulda just been playing but who knows). But I'm a really nice gamer(don't like talking crap) & I pull my weight in Gears, so I dunno why someone would say things like that.
Also, some guys tend to be nicer when they know they're playing with a girl & even go out of their way to "save" me, but often times I end up saving them. It's pretty amusing.

Royer's 3-pointer beats buzzer, lifts Cal Poly over Loyola Marymount 63-60
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Dylan Royer's 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds remaining gave Cal Poly a 63-60 victory against Loyola Marymount in a BracketBusters game on Saturday night.
Brian Bennett scored 23 points and Chris Eversley 13 for the Mustangs (13-12). Royer had 12 points, and his decisive shot was just the second make in 18 3-point attempts by Cal Poly.
Anthony Ireland had 19 points and Taylor Walker 12 for the Lions (8-20), who suffered a buzzer-beater loss for the second straight game and third time this month.
Loyola took a 60-57 lead on Chase Flint's 3-pointer with 1:47 remaining. The Mustangs tied it on Eversley's three-point play with just over a minute to play.
Cal Poly regained possession, and the ball was deflected by the Lions out of bounds and under the basket with 2.7 seconds left. Royer came off a curl as Walker slipped on the floor, leaving Royer wide open.

UC Davis eye surgeon brings vision to El Salvador
Posted Sept. 5, 2012
The humanitarian act of cornea donation — a gift from a donor to recipient — went worldwide recently, with the help of Mark J. Mannis, ocular director for Sierra Donor Services and its parent company, DCI Donor Services. Mannis is also professor and chair of ophthalmology and vision science and director of the Eye Center at UC Davis Health System.
Mannis traveled to San Salvador, El Salvador, with two corneas recovered through Sierra Donor Services as well as corneas from other eye banks around the U.S. The visit was part of the Flying Eye Hospital sponsored by ORBIS International and FedEx Corp.
A fully-equipped, flying hospital
The Flying Eye Hospital is a specially outfitted DC-10 jet aircraft that allows local doctors, nurses and technicians to work alongside an international medical team to conduct sight-restoring surgeries and to exchange knowledge and improve skills. The mobile teaching hospital is a unique tool in the fight against preventable blindness in developing countries.
Mannis participated in a week-long comprehensive skills exchange program aimed at strengthening the field of corneal surgery and raising awareness of eye care related conditions in El Salvador. In the four days of surgery on the Flying Eye Hospital, Mannis performed 11 corneal transplants and provided surgical instruction to his El Salvadoran assistants. In addition, he lectured on corneal surgery in the jetliner's 48-seat classroom at the front of the plane.
"Many talented and compassionate people were involved in helping to give the people of Central America the gift of sight," Mannis said. "We are all working to fight treatable and preventable blindness around the globe. Through the Flying Eye Hospital Program, we offered skills-exchange opportunities to a wide range of eye health-care professionals, while focusing on the development of pediatric ophthalmology, an area of great need in El Salvador."
A global leader in treating eye disease
Mannis is a visionary leader and international authority on corneal transplantation and external diseases of the eye whose 30-year commitment to public service has tremendously advanced eye-banking and tissue-donation services and medical education in the United States and throughout the world, especially in Latin America. His efforts to increase the number of high-quality ocular tissues available for transplant, as well as the number of ophthalmologists and technicians trained in the latest corneal transplant and eye-banking methodologies, have enabled thousands of individuals with blinding eye diseases around the globe to receive the gift of sight.
Under Dr. Mannis' leadership, the UC Davis Eye Center has become one of the nation's top academic centers that combines the very highest quality vision health-care services with cutting-edge ophthalmic science for the treatment of all forms of medical and surgical eye disease. Dr. Mannis exemplifies UC Davis' institutional commitment to combining academic excellence with social responsibility and leadership to transform health care.
Sierra Donor Services (SDS) is a nonprofit agency dedicated to meeting the needs of the community by providing families the option of organ and tissue donation for transplantation and research. SDS serves northern Nevada and inland Northern California, including Sacramento. As a division of the DCI Donor Services family, SDS is one of four locations that includes DCI Donor Services Tissue Bank, Tennessee Donor Services and New Mexico Donor Services. For more information, visit: sierradonor.org.
UC Davis Health System is improving lives and transforming health care by providing excellent patient care, conducting groundbreaking research, fostering innovative, interprofessional education, and creating dynamic, productive partnerships with the community. The academic health system includes one of the country's best medical schools, a 619-bed acute-care teaching hospital, a 1000-member physician's practice group and the new Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. It is home to a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, an international neurodevelopmental institute, a stem cell institute and a comprehensive children's hospital. Other nationally prominent centers focus on advancing telemedicine, improving vascular care, eliminating health disparities and translating research findings into new treatments for patients. Together, they make UC Davis a hub of innovation that is transforming health for all.

Apple to Oz court: 'Our products are lame, really'
Can't let people taste the forbidden Android fruit
Lawyers, it seems, don't have to clear the things they say to judges with the corporate PR department. So it is that in the Apple vs Samsung hearing in the Federal Court in Sydney yesterday, Apple in effect told the court its iPad is too lame to withstand competition.
If that statement sounds a little strong, here's what Apple's lead barrister, Stephen Burley, said: "Once the Galaxy Tab goes to a purchaser who invests and purchases apps on the Galaxy Tab, we have lost them forever in relation to apps and interactivity because they will then be Android people."
Apple, in other words, believes any non-Apple sale represents a customer lost forever – someone buying the Galaxy 10.1 would never see a reason to buy an iPad. That's a remarkable statement coming from a company that's estimated to own on the plus side of 75 percent of the Australian tablet market and as much as one-third of the total mobile computing market in this country.
Cupertino may have a point: according to figures released yesterday by IDC, Android devices are surging in Australia and New Zealand. Apple's 75 percent share of shipments in Q2 is a fall from the 83 percent of shipments Cupertino enjoyed in Q1, and IDC is predicting a fall to 70 percent by year-end.
Apple's concerns underline the reason it's so keen to forestall competition in the tablet market: its strategy to wrap up the customer in a nice warm Apple-controlled ecosystem slips the instant any customer buys from anybody else.
Local journalists were surprised when Apple's Richard Lutton, once head honcho of patent lawyering, was called by the judge. They shouldn't have been: the fact that he was available to be called means that Apple had already notified the court that he would be present and would testify. Exactly what Lutton had to say is largely confidential, with the media and the public excluded from the court for his testimony.
Justice Annabelle Bennett said she hopes to make a judgment about whether or not Sumsung can put the Galaxy 10.1 on sale in Australia next week. Samsung told the court that the ongoing delay has already created a "grey market" in the product, with customers importing devices from overseas rather than wait.
Apple also revealed that it spent much of 2010 in negotiations with Samsung, but these were terminated in February of this year.
According to IT News, Samsung has decided to remove one of the features at issue from devices sold in Australia. "Selective rejection", a software feature that tries to avoid accidental touches being interpreted as user actions, is a feature that Samsung can "live without", according to Samsung's barrister, senior counsel David Catterns.
With two other items already dropped from the case – US patent 2008258177, covering a slider icon; and the "zoom bounce" patent 2009208103 – the key remaining patents at issue cover heuristics and iPad touch-screen manufacturing techniques (patents 2007286532 and 2005246219, respectively).
The two companies return to court Friday afternoon (Australia time). However, a decision or whether and when Samsung is allowed to market the Galaxy 10.1 in Australia is unlikely before next week.
Any further delay is likely to put a spoke in the wheels of Samsung's Christmas marketing plans. ®

I have never seen a place like London, England. I've never even been to Chicago or NYC. The biggest city I've really ever spent time in is Louisville, Kentucky...but London, wow!
There were cultural experiences at every turn, as we lived in a youth hostel in Holland Park, ate at pubs and took the Tube everywhere. People in London are much more quiet and serious than in the U.S., and they travel in small groups. More than once, we got nasty looks for being loud or walking in a "posse." I tried to fit in as much as possible, though I know I must have committed more than a few faux pas. I almost jumped a queue once! Fortunately I avoided this, since I am now wholly convinced that queuing up is the Brits favorite pastime.
People in London are very polite, though. At one point I was on a double decker bus at night with some friends, and two rather shady men got into a bit of an argument ... when they left, one of them apologized to us, which we appreciated, since he was responsible for causing one of the scariest moments of our lives.
London: An Anglophile's Paradise
On Friday morning I went on the school-sponsored Literary Tour, beginning at the British Library. I have never seen so many treasures in my life. I found myself standing in front of Jane Austen's writing desk, a tuning fork once owned by Beethoven and the original of "The Peasants Revolt" in a 15th century illuminated work.
Even better: a handwritten original of "Persuasion," by Jane Austen, and JK Rowling's notebook pages, covered with part of The Philosopher's Stone! In their very own handwriting! Meaning, their actual hands had actually touched the pages! I couldn't believe it; I became positively weak-kneed upon discovering a 14th century original copy of Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales."
No, seriously. I had to use the glass case for support.
Through it all, I just kept thinking, if I could only reach through and touch these pages. If I could only just breathe in some of their aura, I would reach Enlightenment. I feel a little more enlightened already.
The tour finished at the British Museum, where I saw The Rosetta Stone and some great stonework by the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians.
Of course we went to see all the touristy things, like Big Ben and The London Eye. We also went to an Evensong Service at Westminster. The music was beautiful and the church even more so—and so many famous people are buried under the floors!
The Tower of London is a must. Our tour-guide, a sturdy beef-eater named Barney, showed us all the torture-devices and chopping blocks, all the while cheerfully spouting jokes in a smashing Cockney accent. We also walked over the Tower Bridge (which everyone thinks is London Bridge but really isn't) and all around Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. We explored everything from Soho to the West End, and boy, were my feet sore! But it was so worth it.
While in London I also was able to see an equestrian event in the Paralympic Games at Greenwich. That is such a beautiful area! At that point I was by myself, so I felt proud that I was world-savvy enough to get there. I had a nice little solitary picnic on the grass in front of the old Naval Academy, by the side of the Thames.
We also got the chance to visit Hampton Court Palace, a gorgeous place built by Henry VIII. Ancestral homes in England seem much more accessible than in the U S. — visitors are more free to ramble.
Everything was so new and exciting! I always love visiting a city. I equally love returning to the country afterward. This time, however, I returned to a stately mansion in the British countryside, which looked especially inviting after a weekend in a hostel!

A great smile can make a WORLD of difference. Sure, you may be head-over-heels for good-looking stars like Tom Cruise or Denzel Washington, but did you see them before they had their snazzy white perfectly created smiles? Yeah, it wasn't all swoons and "ohmygods!"
With that said there are some celebrities who have opted for veneers, and, well, they're not exactly doing them any favors. Take Snooki for instance. Apparently, the Jersey Shore star is now raking in enough dough to buy herself a new smile and it's ... serious. Snooki and her brand new pearly whites are over the place, and I'm feeling a little blinded. Man, that poor little momma meatball.
Snooks isn't the only one with a fake smile that's just a little too much to handle. Whether they're too white, too big, or just plain crooked, check out Snooki and 6 other celebrities with veneers that make us cringe:
What do you think about these celebrity smiles? Is there anyone we missed?

For this one, we took out the little part that holds a taper. And apparently I forgot to take a picture of the last one, but it painted gold. Yuck.
And here they are now. Missing one candle of course. Why are decent candles to hard to find? I didnt want the kind with the rounded tops, but that's all I could find that were white. Any suggestions? I also added the little milk glass thing I found.
What I'm not sure on, is the color. It's Blue Ocean Breeze from Krylon. It looks more turquoise in real life than those pictures. Are they too bright? As you can see, our walls are beige but I'm slowly trying to add more color. I thought about Peekaboo Blue (Krylon) but I kinded of wanted an aqua-ish color. Please share your honest opinion of the color! :)
Look At Me, I'm So Crafty at It's FUN to Craft!

Spot Treatments
Spot treatments
Skin spot treatments are available for any age group and for any type of skin condition. Skin ailments can plague even the most regimented skin care planner and strike at any time throughout life.
Acne spot treatments
No matter what your age is, acne is never a fun thing to have to deal with. Facial breakouts are the most traumatizing, appearance wise, as they are noticed by anyone looking at you. However pimples on other areas of your body can be just as embarrassing and painful as the ones on your face. Treating these blemishes can mean a strict course of a few different skin care products, including using a deep cleansing facial scrub as well as an acne body wash to clean out your pores. Acne spot treatments allow you to focus on one blemish at a time, targeting the medicine to where you need it the most.
Aging spot treatments
As you get older, pimples may give away to other blemishes. These include age spots, wrinkles and other unsightly skin conditions that come with age. Most skin care companies have products made specifically for taking care of aging skin such as lotions or creams. Along with the standard scrubs, washes and creams that are marketed for being specifically to reduce signs of aging such as Olay's age defying line. Spot treatments target specific areas of your face and body that are more prone to problems. For example, dark areas on your face, hands and neck are a common issue as you mature. Buy an aging spot treatment that is made specifically to help those blemishes fade away.

The timken 6300-2RS series deep groove ball bearing is a double-sealed ball bearing and has a single-row deep-groove geometry for high speeds and supporting both radial and axial loads. Seals on both sides of the bearing fasten to the outside ring and extend over the rolling elements to make contact with the inside ring, keeping out contaminants such as dirt and grime. The seals also hold in a high-quality lubricant applied at manufacture that will last the entire lifetime of the bearing, making it maintenance free. This 6300-2RS series deep groove double-sealed ball bearing is for use in applications that involve combined radial and axial loads and a need for high running accuracy and stiffness at high rotational speeds. Such applications include clutches, drives, gearboxes, compressors, pumps, turbines, and printing and textile machines, among others.
Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
timken Bearings, Inc. manufactures various types of bearings and components including ball and roller bearings, bronze bushings, and sprockets and chains. The company, founded in 1992, is based in City of Industry, CA.

January 23, 2014
By Edward Rice, III
LAWT Contributing Writer
It's been more than 20 years since the theatrical release of Robert Townsend's The Five Heartbeats. Townsend's beloved film about the rise and fall of a 60's singing group has remained popular with audiences over the years and has become a cult classic. Now to the delight of many fans on January 21st Fox Home Entertainment finally released The Five Heartbeats on a new remastered blu-ray disc.
In honor of the blu-ray release, Fox hosted a special panel and screening of the film Thursday, January 16 in Beverly Hills that included many of the original actors from the movie. Duck (Robert Townsend), J.T. (Leon), Choir Boy (Tico Wells) and many others were all on hand to reminisce and discuss the impact and importance of the film. Several of the actors shared anecdotes about the camaraderie that developed amongst the cast during the filming of the Five Heartbeats and that still continues today. Most notably the entire panel shared experiences with devout fans they encountered over the years, which has steadily increased their love and appreciation for the film.
After the panel concluded, the screening began and the audience was captivated once again with the tale of the small town singers who make it big. Audience members could be heard quoting their favorite lines from the film and singing along to fan favorites, "Nothing But Love," "Nights Like This" and "A Heart Is A House for Love."
The Five Heartbeats is an American classic that will keep movie and music lovers entertained for many years to come.

Reporting a Success Story in the Context of Public Sector: Factors That Matters
Given the unclear nature of defining any business success stories in the literature, the present article examines the use of factor analytic techniques on the evaluations of 32 success stories presented by different organisations in the 1st National Forum for success stories in Bahrain held in October, 2011. Standard evaluation forms were designed by an independent expert's panel incorporating 15 items. Each success story was evaluated by 6-8 public administration consultants. Data were subjected to EFA techniques using Maximum Likelihood Extraction with Promax Rotation, 239 evaluation forms were examined. Three factors were retained by the analysis (a) clarity, (b) competitiveness and (c) sustainability. Recommendations are proffered for future practice as regards of analytic and evaluative decisions of success stories and reporting it in an empirical language. Numerous lectures, guidelines and descriptions exist to aid writing a success story; nonetheless, these remain to be an 'opinion' or a 'reflection' of their writer. The findings of the analysis in this research reveal that three factors are considered essential for an effectively reported success story: (a) clarity, (b) competitiveness and (c) sustainability.

We're havin' a ball here
Concerned readers have been asking about the "space guys." People want to know if contact has been made. Sadly, I must report that contact with sentient beings from outer space is still as elusive as ever. However, we can't really blame them. They have reservations about making their presence known on this primitive, war-torn, environmentally destroyed little rock we call home.
For the most part, our way of thinking hasn't progressed much since the stone age. We've made giant steps in the world of technology, but other than that, we're still fairly basic. Think about it. If you were a space guy observing earth, and you didn't know anything about the planet or its occupants, what would you see?
You'd see a planet inhabited by people who are fascinated with balls. It's true. Just one step above the wheel, you might say, but we are absolutely enamored with different kinds of balls. You know, golf balls, basketballs, baseballs, etc.
For instance, the game of golf is a six billion dollar industry. It is played on 31,857 courses around the world. The United States alone has 11,680 golf courses, and those are just the ones that are open to the public. That appears to be a large number when you consider that we only have about 3000 universities and colleges.
Now let's take a look at some of the other "ball" related statistics. Major league baseball revenues topped $3.7 billion last year, and the National Basketball Association grossed slightly over $3 billion. And those statistics are just for the professionals. Think about how much was spent on baseballs, basketballs, games and equipment around the globe by amateurs and professionals together. The figure is staggering. And here's another interesting statistic: there are 240 million registered soccer players in the world. That's registered. How many more players are not even affiliated with teams? Quite a few, I am sure. To put that number in perspective, keep in mind that the population of the USA is 300 million. That means that the number of registered soccer players around the globe are equal to 80 percent of the population of the USA. Hard to believe, wouldn't you say?
If the space guys watch closely, what will they see? I think they'll see tens of thousands of hardworking people who look forward to spending their weekends repeatedly knocking a little ball into holes using a metal rod called a club. And if they're not involved in playing the game, golf fans are glued to their TV sets watching someone else do it.
But that's not the only ballrelated activity the space guys are going to observe. They'll see many more people kicking a larger ball back and forth on a playing field with thousands of fans cheering them on as they indulge in soccer matches. Every day we see the news in war-torn areas of the globe, and what do we see people doing in between battles? Men and boys, soldiers and civilians alike are playing pickup soccer. It seems that there's always time to play a ball related game. And we haven't even addressed football, bowling, tennis, softball, cricket, or field hockey. But I think you get the idea.
The point is that the space guys probably think we are semi-intelligent creatures who are easily amused - just throw us a ball and we'll be entertained for hours. People might be sick, starving, and functionally illiterate on our planet, and we never seem to have enough time or wherewithal to take care of those problems, but when a few billion dollars is needed to support a ball-related sport, it's always available.
The space guys probably amuse their pets the same way as we amuse ours. They throw them a ball to fetch. Are we really that different? I don't think so. Anyway I don't think we can expect to have a conversation with the space guys any time soon. They probably don't want to fraternize with people who live in a system they can't understand.

guyzac needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 133 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
Nutritionbite LLC is an LA-based nutrition consulting firm. Alyse Levine, the founder, is the top ranked nutritionist in LA and has been featured in the national media. Alyse is building out her brand platform, and Nutritionbite has a dated website that we are in the process of upgrading. The color scheme which is currently beige / crimson is going to move to white / light blue / light green --> more modern and fresh. Also the cherries are going to be banished forever!
Potential clients for nutrition consulting services as well as food companies that will hire Nutritionbite to represent their brand.
New logo needs to have the name "nutritionbite" and incorporate the new tagline(s)
real food, real changes
one bite at a time
(you can play around with cases, or the placement of the taglines, we are not wedded to any look per se)
Right now the logo is just the word "Nutritionbite" , one of the tag lines, and those silly cherries.
It should connote "fresh, healthy, organic". There could be a modern version of a fruit in the logo (any fruit--please be creative), or not at all. Some non-text image should be a part of it, I would think, to create visual interest. Clean, simple, modern, cool--->this is the aesthetic. "Fun" ok too. On the logo store, we sort of liked
But these seemed a touch bland/corporate. Not sure. Creativity appreciated!
We are new to 99 designs. If we like the look of the logo this could lead to a larger scale rebranding project for the website referencing the winning logo's aesthetic.
