Windows Media Center / live tv guide / "no data available"
i just setup "live tv" with a AVerTV USB TV tuner.
i followed the setup in WMC. when going to the
"tv guide" however many of the stations have "no data available".
is there someway to reset the Windows Media Center...or start

Your cable TV supplier "should" send along the full channel mapping data set during the setup process. Alas, as I am not yet King, you will have to suffer through the manual channel mapping process. This consists of manually searching the Zap2it guide for your area and trying to figure out which channel you're watching, then editing that channel to use the appropriate guide data which was downloaded during setup. If this sounds confusing, it is. It took me years to learn it well enough that I carry a lot of my local channel mapping data in my head.
I now have one cable card tuner that does all the work for me and MC even knows how to use the information with my regular tuners.

thanks for the help. since i posted the query i did a bit more research and got some additional help from a microsoft site:
You may see a smaller than expected number of channels listed in the Electronic Programming Guide when you start Windows Media Center TV Pack for the first time on a computer that has a Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) tuner installed
i still need to do some work however. i will only use this "live TV" on the computer occassionally. thanks again.

Windows Media Center "PlayReady"
I noticed while trying to get LiveTV to setup in Media Center that it totally skipped a Playready step. Is there a way to reinstall it or somehow update it. All the info I can find is from 2009.

By Herb BournMost publications write about the Limpopo National Park (LNP), but there are also a string of privately-leased conservation areas in Mozambique south of the LNP along the eastern border of the Kruger National Park. These reserves fall within the description of the Limpopo Transfrontier Park and are called GKG Transfrontier Conservation Areas.
The Remarkable Madala Buffalo
After floods and through other leakage points, animals migrate from the Kruger National Park (KNP) into these areas, and for this we are extremely grateful and we as managers of the areas look after the animals very well. This story comes from one of these conservation areas not normally in the public eye, called Sabiè Game Park (SGP), which lies between the Corumana Dam and the Massintonto River.The subject of this story is one of these animals, an old buffalo bull that migrated to SGP about four years ago. We, the staff of SGP, have named him "Madala" out of respect for his age and the dignified way he conducts himself. One late afternoon, out of the blue he arrived at our base camp which is not fenced off, seemed to like what he found – clean water, green grass and a group of friendly humans, and promptly made it his base camp too.
He is free to come and go as he pleases and most days goes off to meet up with his younger bull brothers, wanders around on the 26,000 hectare reserve doing what buffalo bulls normally do and when he feels the need for human company, returns to our camp. During these visits to the camp, which incidentally seem to coincide with the full phase of the moon, he arrives unannounced, does his own thing which includes drinking from one or all of our three fairly big bird baths, eating some of the green lawn, and then settling down under our bedroom window to chew the cud until the early hours of the morning. The staff soon become aware of his presence, and treat him with the necessary respect for a wild animal and give him the space he needs.
This goes on for about a week or so and then it seems he feels the need to swap the luxury of the human companionship in the camp and goes off to roam with his buddies again. When he is with us in the camp we talk to him constantly in order to avoid sudden confrontation and he is calm and appears to be listening, but out in the bush when he is with his buddies his reactions are totally different if we try to talk to him.Even though Madala is rather laid back around the camp, he sometimes gets hearts pounding when one of us suddenly comes upon him standing behind a bush or at one of the birdbaths.
One such occasion was when my wife heard a strange noise outside our room one night and peeped out the front door to see what was going on and found Madala drinking water from the birdbath three metres away from her. Needless to say she made a hasty retreat back into the room!
On numerous occasions other staff have had similar heart-stopping experiences, all without any problems other than a high adrenalin rush. There is a buzz around the camp, which goes on high alert if Madala visits during the day as he sometimes does, in order to ensure safety for both staff and him, and work will continue either indoors or at a good distance from where he is with a game guard nearby.Life in the bush is often harsh and exasperating for a wildlife manager who has to deal with poaching, wild fires and all the negative implications that go with these and other negative occurrences, and then a phenomenon such as Madala crosses our path to remind us why we chose the career path we did and of our passion for the work we do.
Although our job is not phenomena-based, coming into close contact with one of the species known to be extremely dangerous helps us realise that we are doing work that many would give their eye-teeth for the chance to do.

Bonnell's Collision Searching for Young Workers to Join the Business
Scott Bonnell is a car guy. He always has been.
"I just love cars. As a kid, I've always been into racing. I love cars and I love to work on cars. Although I don't get to do that a whole lot now, it's more of a management thing for me now," said Bonnell.
He's the owner of Bonnell's Collision on West 26th Street in Erie.
He started off as a one man body shop in 1985. Today, he employs 74 in four locations. His employees spend their days putting wrecked cars and trucks, back together like new.
"I think the best part about it is when you see a car come in that's wrecked and mangled, what's nice about it is you can create it and bring it back just the way it was," said auto body technician Pat Mancini.
Besides the collision center in Erie, Bonnell also has a shop in Fairview, an auto sales business, and a hot rod shop.
It's been a great ride for Bonnell over the 26 years he's been in business, but one trend he says is alarming is the lack of young people who want to get started in the business.
"I think because of the computers and technology and the way things are today, a lot of the kids think that's where it's going to. But you know the hands on jobs are still out there. You can make a good living and there's definitely a shortage of body technicians right now," said Bonnell.
He says they're always looking for workers with a passion for cars, who don't mind getting their hands dirty. And even if you don't have a lot of experience, they'll send you to all the classes.
Take it from 41-year-veteran Pat Mancini, he says the job is worth taking a look into.
"To be truthful with you, it pays well. I put all my kids through college, bought me a half a dozen homes. It's a well paying job and a real worthwhile career, it really is," he said.
Being a business owner has been a worthwhile experience for Bonnell and he has the community to thank.
"They have a choice. They can go anywhere. I just appreciate the business that comes our way and try to give back that way for it," he said.

Sheffield plans new retail scheme after Sevenstone scrapped
Plans for a new multi-million-pound retail development in Sheffield are being scrapped and completely redrawn.
Sheffield council is severing ties with developer Hammerson after the company failed to deliver the £400m Sevenstone scheme in the city centre.
The council had intended to continue with the scheme and find a new developer but it has now decided to go back to the drawing board.
Hammerson has said ending its work with the council had been a mutual decision.
New plans are expected to be unveiled by next spring.
The council said it had set a target for completion of the scheme during the 2018/19 financial year.
'Decisive action'
The development, currently called New Retail Quarter, will cover the same area as the Sevenstone proposal, between Barker's Pool, The Moor and Wellington Street.
Councillor Leigh Bramall, cabinet member for business, skills and development at the city council, said: "We are taking decisive and clear action to deliver a New Retail Quarter for Sheffield.
"We will bring a brand new scheme forward for the people of Sheffield, a high-class regional shopping and leisure facility that would compete with other city centres such as Manchester, Leeds and Nottingham."
The council is seeking a new development partner or investor for the scheme and said it had already been approached by several companies.
Peter Cole, Hammerson's chief investment officer, said: "We have worked very hard to achieve a retail scheme which creates a thriving city centre environment in Sheffield. We believe the city can build on our work to date."

Los Angeles firefighters are fighting two grass fires bracketing Interstate 405 to the southbound 118 in the San Fernando Valley.
The fire broke out in a homeless encampment on one side of the 405, before spreading across the highway to two more locations.
A body was found in the camp by fire crews. An investigation is underway by police detectives from Devonshire Station.
The fires erupted Wednesday morning, close to residential neighborhoods.
A view from KABC-TV's news helicopter shows the fires appear to be confined to roadside landscaping, although one of the fires sent up high flames.
According to Officer Leland Tang of the California Highway Patrol, one lane is closed on the 405 and a separate LAPD investigation is underway.
Units are still on the scene, according to police. At least two units of the CHP and one unit of the LAPD are investigating. The fire itself has mostly been contained.
Correction: An earlier version of this story said that the fire killed one person; it's unclear if the person was killed by the fire or was already dead.

- Like for the LED cube I made last year, I wanted an interactive drawing system where my son can paint in Processing and pass the pixel data through the Serial interface.
- In addition I tried to separate each LED to have a "cleaner" lighting; I removed the matrix front panel and replaced it by a laser cut grid. This gives the "square" look of Pixels we are familiar with. Then I covered the grid with two sheets of tracing paper to "blur" the lights (if someone has a better idea, please...)
- Since the Arduino library made by Adafruit does not work with the Teensy at the momen; I first wrote a code which helped me understand the working of the matrix but was two slow and flickered a lot. Then I found the code Markus Lipp published, thanks again. After a few tweaks, here is a simple sketch which will display an image and allow to change the color of each LED with a Serial message. With some additions, the code can also display animations from Serial or an SD card at 24bit colors and with a good frameRate.
|Can you read this QR code? I am using the QRduino library to generate QR codes. With the Teensy RTC capability it is possible to make a fun clock!
Here is a Sketch for the Teensy 3 or 3.1. I use some pins which are underneath for the matrix, so that I still have the SPI pins for an SD card and Serial 2 to play with Bluetooth. If you want to use this code with the top pins only, you can change PORTB to PORTC.

Kyn Free Download for PC Full Version

Kyn is an Action, Adventure, Indie and Role-Playing game.
In a world where Viking mythology collides with magic, explore the world of KYN in a fast paced role playing strategy game that combines party based combat with exploration and progression.
• A Magical Viking World Brought to Life. Unlock the mysteries of the vast world of KYN as you explore ancient ruins, lush landscapes and snowy mountains filled with intricate puzzles and plenty of danger! Fight against a variety of intelligent enemies and use your skill and cunning to take out powerful boss enemies!
• A Hybrid Tactical RPG Meets Hack-n-Slash. This is real time action in a fantastical RPG setting. You will need to leverage the environment to create traps, defend areas or build up special attacks. When tactics are needed, utilize the slow motion feature, where time slows to almost zero and you can direct your heroes to an area and assign them a task to out flank, out smart and defeat your enemies!
• An RPG Party with up to Six Playable Characters. Build that classic RPG dungeon crawling group with our motely group of heroes. Each warrior can be outfitted with different equipment and specialized abilities to meet your needs. Allocating points in mind, body, control will build characters that fit your style or meet the challenges of the puzzles you will soon face.
• A Deep Crafting and Loot System. Collect hundreds of items. Combine over 100 different elemental materials in a unique crafting system designed to help you get more powerful weapons and armor.
1. Top down real-time combat (Think… Diablo meets Dragon Age)
2. Select individual/multiple party members and right click to make them move
3. Six Playable Characters (Start with two, Bram & Alrik; unlock the others via quests/missions)
4. Able to change up skills and stats at anytime (except in combat)
5. Only two normal skills + one feed skill
6. Feed skills are attached to different elemental/spirit stones that change the dynamics of the ability
7. Quest based system is straight forward and pretty generic
8. Crafting system advertised as a big deal. Has to be done at town blacksmith between missions and while the gear is good it is basically buying good gear with money + materials. Doesn't feel like real crafting because it doesn't have much depth to it
9. Movement can be a little janky at times; especially after looting a chest
Game looks really good, nothing that would blow your socks off but for an indie dev it's solid
Characters are hard to see up close in action but they all have unique looks and each weapon and armor has it's own assets
Able to change character's two main color schemes anytime
FX: Battles sounds and other SFX all sound great
Music: By Will Bedford (UK) is good; in the first mission I found the BGM to be too "Lord of the Ringsish" and it got on my nerves a bit but other tracks are quite nice
Voice Acting: This game could have used real voice acting, at least for the main characters. It is really done a disservice without it.
Set in a "magical viking world" but is pretty light on story content.
Trailer for the game made it seem like a light hearted buddy adventure; but without any voice acting and sometimes too-quick back-and-forth dialog that pops up when you are running around in a mission it's hard to get a feel for the characters
That said if you really read the dialog and pay attention there is some story to be found here
Maps are just non-linear enough to be fun to explore and find out of the way chests
However some maps felt like the map was designed first and then if some parts weren't needed for the story/quests they just threw a treasure chest there as filler (or worse, they didn't and it was a dead end)
Final Verdict
Kyn offers a lot of gameplay at a low price and is a very solid title for a new indie release. While a majority of the game is middle-of-the-road tried-and-true it is pretty fun and combat can be a surprising challenge even at normal difficulty! All in all I am looking forward to playing this game more even with it's short comings and I would say its a safe title to buy.
Disclaimer; while I was provided a copy of this game for review purposed I was not compensated for my thoughts, ideas and opinions those are all my own.

Ten-fold rise in gastric bands and other weight-loss ops
The number of people in England undergoing surgery on the NHS to help them lose weight has increased ten-fold in less than a decade.
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) reports operations such as gastric banding and bypasses rose from 238 a year to more than 2,543 in 2007.
Researchers from Imperial College London said more obese patients were now aware that surgery could help them.
The Department of Health said drugs and surgery should always be a last resort.
Experts at the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended in 2002 that people classed as "morbidly obese" should be considered for surgery if other weight-loss methods had failed.
Safer techniques
In simple terms the operations, sometimes called "bariatric surgery", work by restricting the amount of nutrients that can be digested and absorbed by the intestine.
Gastric banding involves reducing the size of the stomach with a band fitted around it, while a gastric bypass reroutes food to a small stomach pouch created by surgeons. A third, less frequently used procedure, removes a portion of the stomach.
The Imperial researchers, led by Dr Omar Faiz, found that three-quarters of the operations were carried out using "keyhole" techniques, which avoid the need for a large surgical incision, and that there was no evidence of any safety problems despite the swift increase in the number of operations across the NHS.
However, they did not look into whether the operations actually helped the patients lose weight.
Between April 2000 and March 2008, when the study data ended, there were 6,953 operations carried out by the NHS.
In 2000, there were only 238, while in 2007, there were 2,543.
The research team said: "Bariatric surgery has increased exponentially in England in recent years.
"In conjunction with the growing level of obesity, as patients become more aware of surgery as a viable treatment option, demand for surgery among morbidly obese patients increases."
It is primary care trusts which pay for obesity surgery.
Paul Aylin of Imperial College, who co-authored the BMJ report, said evidence was growing that the procedures were effective in some obese patients.
"Very extreme obesity is associated with all sorts of other illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease," he told Today.
"Evidence is emerging now that these sorts of operations can reduce those other illnesses."
Peter Sedman, a bariatric surgeon and spokesman for the Royal College of Surgeons said: "We are beginning to catch up with a backlog that has been building for decades, and we are only now beginning to catch up with the US and other European countries in providing this care.
"The number of morbidly obese patients in the UK is increasing rapidly and we need to continue to put even more resources in to what is proven to be a successful and cost-effective method of treatment. The burden on the NHS in years to come in obesity-related illness will otherwise be overwhelming."
Chrissie Palmer, at the British Obesity Surgery Patients Association, which helps provide information and support to patients considering or undergoing weight-loss surgery, said the rise in operations was welcome.
However, she said: "There are still places in the UK where weight-loss surgery is not taking place on the NHS, despite the advice from NICE."
She added that there was still some stigma wrongly attached to it despite the enormous lifestyle changes required by patients both before and after.
"I don't think people understand what a large commitment is involved - people have to change their behaviour for life, although once they start feeling the benefits, it becomes easier."
Health minister Paul Burstow said people should be encouraged to eat more fruit and vegetables, reduce the amount of fatty foods they eat and be more active.
"Our ambition is to encourage healthier lifestyles and reduce the need for this type of treatment."
And a Department of Health spokesman added: "Independent guidance on obesity from NICE recommends that drugs and surgery should always be a last resort - a better diet and more exercise should be tried first.
"It is up to individual trusts to commission a range of services to meet their local community's needs."

Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers (June 21, 2013)
Having grown up in the foster system, Private Pike Morgan's rough exterior and problem with authority earn him few friends among his fellow Marines. When he's not on missions for the Marine Reserve, Pike's rebellious attitude and eagerness for vigilante justice have the local police regularly at his doorstep. Struggling to set down roots, and nervous of his desire to, Pike's eager to answer the military's call for another deployment.
On a peacekeeping mission to Afghanistan, Pike and his squad soon find themselves entrenched in a heated war zone. After an American journalist is kidnapped by known terrorist Zalmai Yaqub, the whereabouts of this al Qaeda leader become a top priority for the American military. But when Yaqub flees to Pakistan, will anyone aid Pike in his hunt, or will this strong Marine find himself without an ally?
Here are my thoughts:
If you are new to this blog you might very well wonder why I reviewed this particular title but as others know by now, my family has always been involved with the Armed Forces, be it serving in the ranks or at the home front! Duty and Honour calls at any level and this latest Christian offering by TYNDALE PUBLISHERS is well worth a moment of your time!
RENEGADE, Book 2 in the 'Called To Serve' series follows Pike Morgan, a maverick who has been in and out of trouble for many years. Growing up in the Foster Care system of course has not helped his rebellious side. When his best friend is killed by a gang, Pike agrees to testify and enters the Witness Protection program.
Now a Marine reservist called to active duty, Pike Morgan is sent to Afghanistan where his fighting skills proves him to be a survivor when a regular rescue mission turns grievously wrong and becomes the biggest challenge of his life.
Mel Odom might have well written just another of those war novels if it was not for the fact he cleverly deals with duty and honour infused with a great amount of faith! There are some excellent Christian values in this plot particularly for single parent families, as we realize Pike's past haunts him and emotional ties scares him. No man is an island after all!
Well worth reading, RENEGADE is packed with action most favoured by men but also the sort of 'feel good' times women relate to and as such, provides great material for family/group discussions.
With over 140 books to his active in various genres, Mel Odom proves to be a versatile author certain to grab your attention and whilst this 2nd novel in the series starts rather slowly, the narration builds up steadily! The only negative might be that some of the (interesting) characters appeared to be left in limbo, material for a future novel perhaps?
Finally, a word of caution: Understandably, the author could not escape the harsh realities of war so there is a certain amount of violence leading me to recommend this novel for mature readers only!
5 Stars!
About the Author:
Mel Odom says: "I write in a number of fields, but always with the hope of telling an interesting tale that will incite a reader to think for himself or herself, to examine his or her own place in the world, and offer a little nudge in the direction of dreams, faith, and personal growth in spite of whatever odds a person has to face.
I also believe we were all put here for a purpose. Hopefully, several purposes.
I'm a father, a little league coach, a teacher, a friend, and a writer. I struggle to keep that balance, as many of us do these days, but I hold tightly to the belief that I'm doing all I can be doing, and doing what I should be doing."

While money is not limitless, these stand options might be a great addition to the 10 keyboard docking stations that we are thinking about implementing. The 21st century model classroom is all about independence within a structured setting. The addition of the choice for a stand may be something to look into.
These stands may be a nice alternative for students who don't want the iPad to be laying flat or we go with cases that don't create their own stand. Two stands stick out to me due to practicality, endurance, and price and overall cool factor.
Amazon. (It also looks pretty cool!)
The Groovy Stand looks rugged (it's a piece of wood), simplistic, and the price, $11.95, looks fantastic. Visit Groovy Stand!
Ten of these would enhance the classroom (and create a little higher cool factor) so that students would have a choice. Eventually, I will need to decide, if the money is available, are they needed?

Three Baltimore firefighters were injured fighting fires that broke out in two different vacant properties early Saturday, though their injuries were described as minor.
Both fires reached a single alarm but were under control before they could spread to other buildings, and their causes are under investigation, fire officials said.
Two firefighters were injured fighting a rowhome fire in the 500 block of Cumberland Street in the Druid Heights neighborhood, while one firefighter was injured in a fire in the 2200 block of West Pratt Street in the Carrollton Ridge neighborhood.

This paper makes the case for innovative risk management approaches in pastoral settings, which may include adjustments to the traditionally practiced approaches that have become progressively less effective. We use recent data from studies in Kenya and southern Ethiopia to confirm that traditional pastoral risk management approaches are increasingly futile against increasing external pressures, seasonal rainfall variability and future climate change. Some pioneering approaches and ideas, with potentially wider application to African pastoral settings, appear to offer greater hope; these include pilot studies designed to demonstrate the efficacy of index-based risk transfer products in pastoral systems, improvements in the management of food insecurity response for pastoralists and the recasting of development interventions as risk management. The International Livestock Research Institute, in collaboration with a wide range of partners, is currently testing these ideas.

Charles Schreyvogel
Nationality: American
At the time of his unexpected death from blood poisoning in 1912, Charles Schreyvogel was considered one of the most popular artists of the Old West, revered for his nostalgic images of a disappearing frontier. His fame arrived late in life, when his painting My Bunkie won first prize at the 1900 National Academy of Design exhibition, yet he had been training since his youth as an artist.
Born in 1861 to German immigrants settled in New York City, Schreyvogel apprenticed during the 1870s to a gold engraver and a lithographer before enrolling in the Newark Art League. With the financial assistance of his brothers, he traveled abroad and studied from 1886-1890 at the Munich Royal Academy, there developing an interest in realism and genre scenes.
The watershed moment in Schreyvogel's career occurred back home in 1893 when he attended Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and sketched for the first time the stuff of his childhood dreams: cowboys and Indians. He was so entranced with these new subjects that soon afterwards he visited the Ute Reservation in Colorado -- an opportunity to photograph and paint local legends and begin collecting western artifacts as props for compositions. Schreyvogel's insistence on thorough preliminary research prompted future trips to the Dakotas, but also limited his production, ultimately fewer than 100 paintings. He also executed a handful of sculptures which, like his paintings, celebrated stories of heroism and bravery.

News and a Critique
The bad news is that the latest poll from Quinnipiac has Lamont leading Lieberman 51-47%. Statistically it's a dead heat, but anyone would be lying if they said that Lamont hasn't had the Ned-mentum for the past month or two (or five).
(Disclaimer: The next several paragraphs contain an unflattering analysis of how Lieberman's campaign has been run)
The reason why is simple - Joe Lieberman's campaign has looked as if it has been in a constant state of panic ever since Lamont's campaign started to look serious. The deer-in-the-headlights look that was on Ned Lamont's face in the debate has been in the collective eyes of the Lieberman campaign for months. Even Lieberman himself has acted like he never saw this coming. Many political observers have noticed it, and so have I.
Ned Lamont has every right to run against Joe Lieberman in the primary, and Democratic voters have every right to support him - just as Lieberman has every right to run as an (Dem-caucusing) indy candidate in November and have Democratic voters support him. Some bloggers try to claim that Lieberman is acting like a man desperate to cling onto power. I don't buy into that one bit. Sorry, but being the junior Senator from a small state in the minority party does not exactly qualify as sitting in Caesar's palace.
Far more likely is that Lieberman simply never saw this coming, and still hasn't gotten over the initial shock of Lamont's entry into the race. The initial surprise is somewhat understandable. He's a three-term Senator with a strong record on nearly all progressive causes who has not faced a serious electoral challenge at home in 18 years. Lieberman realized that most Democrats in his state disagreed with him on the Iraq War, but it probably was hard for Lieberman to imagine that any single issue could fuel a serious intraparty challenge to him.
His campaign staff also seems like they never expected to have to run a real campaign. So at first they seemed to ignore Lamont's challenge, probably expecting it to fade fast. It didn't, and Lieberman's campaign came to realize that Lamont's challenge was serious. And what they did next is mind-boggling: Instead of reminding the voters of Lieberman's strong history on progressive causes, their campaign increasingly focused on disqualifying Lamont.
I can't think of a polite word to describe that strategy. I agree with the general rule that if the incumbent's campaign can make the election about the challenger, that the incumbent will almost certainly win. But that simply was never going to happen and will never happen in this race. Lieberman is one of the most prominent politicians in the state's - and indeed in the nation's - recent history. By contrast, Lamont has no record, and virtually no one had ever heard Ned Lamont's name before this year. Ned Lamont is a vehicle for opposition to Lieberman; the campaign will never be about him.
Every time they have polled the race, Quinnipiac has asked respondents whether their vote was more for their candidate, or against the other candidate. Here are the results from each of the past three polls:
AMONG LIEBERMAN SUPPORTERSConsistently, the vast majority of voters voting for Lamont were doing so not because they supported Lamont, but because they were against Lieberman. Consequently, any campaign strategy that was designed to damage Lamont in the eyes of voters has always been and will always be doomed to failure. As the Hotline On Call blog asked this weekend "Are negative ads what really what Lieberman needs right now? Aren't voters looking for a reason to come back to Lieberman?"
May 2 June 8 July 20
For Lieberman 92% 90% 86%
Against Lamont 4 5 11
May 2 June 8 July 20
For Lamont 20% 19% 33%
Against Lieberman 77 78 63
They are, and they have plenty of reasons to. Joe Lieberman is hardly out of the mainstream of the Democratic party - one need only look at his voting record to see this - and Lieberman's long history of fighting for progressive causes cannot seriously be questioned. Iraq is admittedly a big thorn in Lieberman's side, but less than a quarter of all voters and just 33% of Democrats said Iraq was the top issue for them in this election.
Lieberman clearly can improve if his campaign just reminds voters of how strong he is on the traditional progressive issues of education, the environment, civil rights, choice, worker's rights, and virtually every other progressive cause that you can think of. Those same Quinnipiac polls still show that a majority of Democrats think he deserves to be re-elected, and the loyalty of his supporters runs deep.
The Quinnipiac polls show, as they always have, that Lieberman would easily dispatch of Lamont in the general election. However, it really should not come to that, and it's never too late to break bad habits. There are plenty of reasons for Democrats to vote for Lieberman. He and the members of his campaign need to remind voters of what they are, or else be willing to accept a good share of the responsibility if Lieberman loses on August 8.

Among nearly 400,000 respondents to the annual National Health Interview Survey, 32.9 percent reported this short sleep in 2017 — up from 28.6 percent in 2004 when researchers began noticing a slight drop in sleep time. That's a 15 percent increase representing "more than 9 million people...

Determined to overcome his persistent fear that other people want to hurt him, Edwin had enrolled in a...

Strange brains offer a glimpse into the mind
To understand the human brain, take note of the rare, the strange and the downright spooky. That's the premise of two new books, Unthinkable by science writer Helen Thomson and The Disordered Mind by neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel.
Both books describe people with minds that don't work the same way as everyone else's. These are people who are convinced that they are dead, for instance;...

The study of human heredity got its start in insane asylums
Genetics in the MadhouseTheodore M. PorterPrinceton Univ., $35
England's King George III descended into mental chaos, or what at the time was called madness, in 1789. Physicians could not say whether he would recover or if a replacement should assume the throne. That political crisis jump-started the study of human heredity.

I ordered this and the shades are supposed to be white and they are dark blue!!! The screws that hold the poles will not screw in and it is wobbly and will not stand up on carpet, it tilts or completely tips over. I don't have the means to return this so I am screwed. It was also packaged horribly. Parts just thrown in and broken pieces of "Styrofoam" thrown in. Very disappointed and would like a credit to my account to put towards something that is not junk. I spend thousands with Overstock a year and want some type of refund or credit!!!!! This is the third item in the last couple of months that has been a big disappointment! Obviously you all don't really read the review or someone would have reached out to me to make it right!

Guest Editorial by The Black Commentator
Lesser Evil John Kerry danced like James Brown atop the precarious, tiny table that he calls his "plan" for Iraq, easily out-presidentialing the Pure Evil Pirate, George Bush, in last week's debate. For those of us who believe the fate of the human species may hang in the balance on November 2, it was a night of great exhilaration. We may yet live to tangle with a President Kerry – and tangle we must for, as Freedom Rider columnist Margaret Kimberley has written, "President Kerry should face thousands of demonstrators if he continues the disastrous occupation of Iraq and the take over of Haiti."
(Note that PBS troglodyte moderator Jim Lehrer, who claims to have composed all the questions for the candidates, didn't even think Haiti – the other Bush invasion and regime change – was worthy of debate.)
Kerry's Iraq "plan" is purposely fuzzy, amounting as it does to an admission that, not just Iraq, but a wired planet is in various stages of rebellion against American imperial rule – including the conservative elites of Europe and the developing world. In a sane country it would not take great courage to explain to a fairly literate public that the war in Iraq is lost and the U.S. must try to regroup with its various former partners in crime, the Europeans. In other words, to cut Bush's losses. This is the "truth" that Kerry kept faulting Bush for failing to acknowledge, but which Kerry himself dares not articulate to an America born of a singular (white) Manifest Destiny. Instead, Kerry spoke of his determination to call a "summit" at which he hopes to "bring fresh credibility, a new start."
Kerry is talking to Europeans as much as to Americans. His speeches and debating points are written by operatives of the corporate-funded Democratic Leadership Council which, as we wrote on September 9, has been "determined to hold on to the ground it thinks the Bush men have gained in Iraq." However, the reality unfolding daily in Iraq has forced John Forbes Kerry – a War Democrat, like the other JFK – to begin to confront the fact that Iraq cannot be held by military means, and certainly not as a U.S. corporate colony and franchise. In what may have been the solitary substantive straw worth grasping from the debate, Kerry declared:
"I think a critical component of success in Iraq is being able to convince the Iraqis and the Arab world that the United States doesn't have long-term designs on it. As I understand it, we're building some 14 military bases there now, and some people say they've got a rather permanent concept to them.
"I will make a flat statement: The United States of America has no long-term designs on staying in Iraq."
Kerry seems to be saying, obliquely, that he would halt the hardening of the 14 bases that Halliburton is busily constructing in Iraq. This is somewhat more substantive than his general disavowal of "long-term" designs, a meaningless statement that could – and has – been made by Bush.
Only in America could a War Democrat get credit from progressives (including the Black Commentator) for making even the slightest bow to the facts of U.S. defeat. The truth is, the Americans and British are one fatwa away from eviction from Iraq – only the timing and authorship of the initiating clerical directive(s) is in question. That the occupation force must evacuate, and a lot sooner than four years from now, has been evident to us since the day the invasion began. The question is: how shall the Americans leave? Will it be in a hideous spasm of destruction – a ghastly, racist, regionalized lashing out at the "hated hajis" in Syria and Iran that could easily lead to a global conflagration – or under cover of some face-saving exit plan concocted with the collaboration of Europeans? We believe the latter is the emerging, but still inchoate, Kerry exit option.
Please note that we did not say that Kerry actually has a "plan" to get out of Iraq. Rather, he is floating the sketchy outlines of his "option" as if it were a plan – for both American and European consumption – and attempting to contrast that as sharply as he can with Bush's "resolve" to provide "more of the same" of a "wrong" policy.
The Black Commentator is not overly concerned that Kerry further flesh out his "plan," since the Americans are not in control of events in Iraq, anyway. His "plan" will be shaped by Iraqi actions on the ground and the resulting "options" that remain available. We're also not upset that Kerry calls the aggression against Iraq a "mistake" rather than a "crime." Most white people in the United States still refuse to admit that enslavement of Africans and extermination of Native Americans was a crime; they prefer the terms "mistake" or "tragedy." What matters is that Bush be prevented from unleashing a Middle East holocaust – "Shock and Awe" in reverse on his way out the door – in the death throes of his grand aggression.
The Bush Pirates will not go quietly, even in defeat. As Americans, on November 2 we can give the coup de grace to the criminal offensive begun on March 19, 2003. We must then thwart Kerry's DLC Euro-Plan to subvert by other means the aspirations of the people of Iraq – whatever that plan turns out to be.
A report in last week's Financial Times (UK) indicates the U.S. is actively exploring its fallback option: a partition of Iraq that would separate Baghdad and central Iraq from the oil fields of the heavily Kurdish north and the Shi'ite south. In the usual fashion, the paper quotes an "unidentified diplomat" as saying: "The south has been desperately disappointed, and they see Baghdad as continuing to leave them without representation. So they are working on ways to organize themselves to have more clout with the center." The southern provinces in question are centered around Basra, Iraq's second largest city, patrolled by 9,000 British troops. The FT's "diplomat" source then points the finger at neighboring Iran as the instigator of partition sentiment in the south. Yet, as Iraq specialist Prof. Juan Cole pointed out, back in March of this year:
"No major indigenous Iraqi political party or actor favors partition. Even the Kurds want a loose federalism. Turkey has threatened to go to war to prevent the emergence of an oil-rich independent Kurdistan, which its leaders fear might entice the Turkish Kurds of eastern Anatolia into a separatism that would fragment Turkey. The Iranians less truculently maintain a similar view, because of sensitivities about their own Kurdish minority."
The Brits are, of course, masters of partition, their neocolonial strategy of choice. They drew the lines in the sand that severed Kuwait and its oil fields from the "protectorate" of Iraq, after World War One. But the Clinton administration was testing Iraq partition balloons in 1999, according to contemporaneous reports from Agence France-Presse (AFP):
"The US Defense Secretary William Cohen currently making a tour of the Gulf region is attempting to obtain the support of the Gulf states for a tactical plan to partition Iraq, a report said.
"AFP said that United Arab Emirates al-Khaleej daily quoted well-informed diplomatic sources in Doha as saying that Cohen is trying to convince countries of the region, especially the Gulf states, of a US plan aimed at perpetuating the independence of northern Iraq by establishing a Kurdish entity, but this entity is not to be split from Iraq but to be linked to it in a confederation that will be a starting point for the opposition against the Iraqi government.
"The same sources added that this plan will not deal with southern Iraq with the same logic, under the pretext that by doing so it will avail the chance for establishing an entity which would constitute a center point for Iranian influence (in reference to the Shi'ites of southern Iraq).
So, de facto partition of Iraq is a bipartisan project. Today, rightist Republicans and Democrats speak of the "threat" of civil war dividing Iraq in three parts: Kurdish, Sunni and Shi'ite. The Financial Times report, probably planted by Brits or Americans, is a variation on that theme. In reality, civil war is the second item on the neocolonial wish-list. Should occupation of the whole of Iraq become untenable, they will foment inter-Iraqi strife in hopes of holding on to the oil-rich parts of the country through agreements with potentates of mini-states – sectarian and ethnic warlords, much like in Afghanistan.
However, we think the Bush regime, still frozen in its original, delusional ambitions to oversee a Greater Middle East "market" of "transformed" states, has neither the time, presence of mind nor competence to effect a partition strategy. Kerry, the Euro-minded guy, is another story, the first chapter of which may begin on January 20.
It is up to the Iraqis to oust the U.S. occupation forces. But only U.S. voters can prevent the mad, vengeful Apocalypse that will accompany an American exit, as surely as night follows day, if Bush remains at the helm – an orgy of superpower violence that might engulf us all.
The world can't risk Pirate fingers on the Rapture button.

Hello guys!
So I totally forgot doing my October favourites and before I forget it this month and will be mad at myself for the whole month, I will do my beauty favourites for November today. I hope you are as excited as I am to share with you my favourite products, so let's get started!
(from left to right)
1st row:
Max Factor Soft Resistant Makeup in 1 Light: This is my current everyday foundation and it is just amazing for pale ladies like me. It has a medium to strong coverage which covers up all my pimples and lasts really long, thus, it's perfect for my long university days.
NYX Blush in Mauve: I purchased my first NYX products this month and totally fell in love with them. This blush is the perfect colour between rosy, bronzy and peachy so that it just gives you the perfect subtle colour. I am not sure whether this blush is strong enough for really dark skin tones.
Manhattan Duo Eyeshadow: Unfortunately, this eyeshadow duo isn't available anymore, but it just contains a beautiful light, shimmery, rosy highlighting colour and a slightly darker, red-rose colour for the crease. I loved to use the light colour as a highlight this month.
Maybelline Super 24h Concealer: I have this concealer in the lightest shade and I love it. I use it under my eyes and and it really stays there for the entire day and doesn't go into your wrinkles.
H&M Bronzing Powder: You have to use this bronzer on a light hand otherwise you will look like a huge orange monster, but applied with gentle strokes over your cheekbones it just looks really fresh during this winter time. I use it as a blusher as I think the bronzer might be too orange for a natural sun kissed look.
2nd row:
NYX 10 Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Bubbles and Caviar: Oh my gosh, guys! Why did I discover this product only now?! This is the second part of my NYX Haul and I would call it a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette. Once I saw the palette, I had to have it and now I use it nearly every single day! I can totally recommend buying it!
Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in 020 Date With Ash-ton: Besides the name, the product is really great and cooperates perfectly with my natural hair colour with its ashy undertone. Again, you have to apply this product also with a light hand and slowly build up the colour of your eyebrows. I didn't now that for quiet a while and always ended up having two bold lines over my eyes.
Vichy Dermablend Concealer in 21 Opal: This is by far the best concealer for acne which I have ever used and I doubt that I will ever use another one. You only need a tiny amount of product to cover up any pimple no matter how red it is and it look super natural and not cakey at all.
Manhattan Eyeshadow Base: Another product that I used the wrong way for half a year. You only need a fingertip of product for two eyelids and then your eyeshadow stay on for the entire day even after doing a workout!
Labello Repair & Care: I am not sure whether I have already mentioned this product in any of my post, but I received this as a present and love it. It is not a normal lib balm, no, it consists if a deep-moisturizing formulation and a slightly rosy colour which is just the perfect combination for the frosting winter season.
I also really loved using the Balea Body Lotions with chocolate and chocolate / fig scent and the Essence Winter Edition Hand Protection Balms, especially the Apple Cinnamon Punch one, which I have just purchased recently and can be seen in my latest haul!
So these were my November favourites. I just realised that during the last two months I rediscovered quite a lot of old products respectively finally learned how do use them right. Well, that's another way to save money :) I hope you found a few of these products interesting and see you later! Also, comment below what are your favourite products for this month & are you excited about christmas?

Srinagar : A fresh wave of protests in Kashmir Valley on Monday claimed seven lives and left 250 injured as police opened fire to disperse rampaging mobs who indulged in stone-pelting, attacked government buildings and looted weapons from police.
Defying curfew, stone-pelting protesters took to streets in several places and attacked police stations and CRPF camps in the Valley where 22 people have been killed and over 500 injured, including 200 security force personnel, in violence since last Friday.
One protester was killed in police firing after agitators attacked a police post and attempted to set it afire and another perished late tonight in Kulgam district. In adjacent Sangam in Anantnag district, one person was killed when CRFP personnel retaliated to heavy stone throwing at their camp, police said, adding another person died in a stampede following the firing.
At Kakpora, in south Kashmir's Pulwama district, police opened fire on a group of stone-pelting protesters who were indulging in ransacking, killing one of them.
One person was killed in Kralpora in north Kashmir's Kupwara district when police fired on a mob which looted arms from a police post. The agitators managed to flee with four rifles.
A boy, injured in violence in Batmaloo district this afternoon, succumbed in the evening, police said.
Protesters this afternoon set afire all the four buildings in a police station at Rajpura in Pulwama district injuring 20 people.
"Rampaging mobs violated curfew restrictions at various places in Kakapora, Pulwama, Budgam, Anantnag, Kulgam and Kupwara destroying police and public properties," police department said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, protesters set afire two government offices and a railway structure in central Budgam district. Three protesters were injured there as police tried to contain the violence.
Three people were injured in firing in Bemina on the outskirts of Srinagar.
A person identified as Tariq Ahmed, who was hit by a teargas shell three days back in Bijbehara in south Kashmir, succumbed to his injuries in a hospital here.
Meanwhile, the Centre today rallied behind Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in handling the situation in the Kashmir Valley and indicated it is committed to carrying out political initiatives for which peace is a prerequisite.
Arriving in New Delhi this morning, Omar called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who chaired a high-level meeting to discuss the current unrest in the Valley and find an administrative and political way out.
He briefed the meeting in which all the members of the Cabinet Committee of Security (CCS) including Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Home Minister P Chidambaram, Defence Minister A K Antony and External Affairs Minister S M Krishna were present on the latest turn of events in Kashmir which witnessed a spurt in violence.
As violence further escalated in Kashmir Valley, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on his return from Delhi chaired a meeting of the Unified Command here and reviewed the measures in place to tackle the situation.
Omar chaired the meeting, attended by the top brass of army, security forces, state police, IB and civil administration, after returning from New Delhi where he had called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P Chidambaram.
The Chief Minister took stock of prevailing law and order situation in the valley and also reviewed the measures in place to handle the situation and restore normalcy, officials said.
Fresh wave of protests rocked the Kashmir Valley as police opened fire to disperse rampaging mobs who indulged in stone pelting, attacked government buildings and looted weapons from police.
Earlier in the day, Omar had said political initiatives were required to deal with the situation in the Kashmir Valley but made it clear there should be some semblance of normalcy first. PTI

Fairbanks-Morse One Cylinder "Z" Engine
Fairbanks-Morse One Cylinder "Z" Engine
- Description (Brief)
- The nature of farming dramatically changed in the 20th century through what came to be known as the Green Revolution. From the 1920s-1950s farming productivity rose dramatically due to mechanization, fertilizers, chemicals (fungicides, pesticides, herbicides) and the hybridization of plants and animals. Agricultural innovations continue to be important to farming today. While the museum has over a dozen full-size tractors and other pieces of farming equipment, most technical developments of the 20th century are represented in the collection through toys and models.
- This is a metal model of Fairbanks-Morse one cylinder "Z" engine. Fairbanks-Morse manufactured the Z engine from around 1916-1932. Engines like this were used on farms to power a variety of machines to perform a variety of tasks.

Iconclast worked with We Are From L.A directors Clements Durou and Pierre Dupaquier on HP's newest product launch for OMEN x Desktop featuring a frustrated gamer who completely loses his cool when his computer crashes.
The explosive spot was brought to life by The Mill's VFX team, who comped in a range of live action objects at super slow speeds as well as augmented in 3D. Lead 2D Artists and VFX Supervisor Jimmy Bullard comments, "We shot on the new Phantom Flex 4K at varying framerates up to 1000fps in order to capture objects and people moving at super slow speeds that we could use in our comps. There were a number of items we couldn't capture in camera so our CG team led by Laurent Giaume, built a lot of completely original objects that we could add into our shots. They also recreated all the objects we had on set so we could remove the real ones and reposition/replace them with our CG versions. We also incorporated complex simulations in Houdini in order to achieve a realistic movement to the objects flying through the air.
Creatively, we really wanted to have continuity on positioning and look of all the items, this was a big challenge for the 2D team. There are a few nice little gags in there that we spent a bunch of time working out and setting up. There are the obvious ones such as the water droplet and the basketball but my favourite is the little secret storyline of the goldfish battling to avoid the shark's jaws inside the water."

FCC to approve 110GHz of new spectrum for mobile services
The FCC is today holding an open meeting at which it will "consider" – in effect is likely to approve – a Report and Order that proposes opening up a total of 11GHz of spectrum for mobile services.
The proposal is for bands to be made available at the 28 GHz (27.5-28.35 GHz), 37 GHz (37-38.6 GHz), and 39 GHz (38.6-40 GHz) bands, and an unlicensed band at 64-71 GHz.
Here's how that looks:
- The proposal for licensed use in the 28 GHz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz bands makes available 3.85 GHz of licensed, flexible use spectrum. It provides 200MHz block sizes, license areas (Partial Economic Areas), technical rules, and operability across the exclusively licensed portion of the 37 GHz band and the 39 GHz band to make 2.4 GHz of spectrum available. There are two 425 MHz blocks for the 28 GHz band.
- Unlicensed use in the 64-71 GHz band makes available 7 GHz of unlicensed spectrum which, when combined with the existing high-band unlicensed spectrum (57-64 GHz), doubles the amount of high-band unlicensed spectrum to 14 GHz of contiguous unlicensed spectrum (57-71 GHz). That 14 GHz band will be 15 times as much as all unlicensed Wi-Fi spectrum in lower bands.
- Shared access in the 37-37.6 GHz band: Makes available 600 MHz of spectrum for dynamic shared access between different commercial users, and commercial and federal users.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler told a House subcommittee hearing held on Tuesday 12 July, "I truly believe the decision we make Thursday could be most important decision this commission makes this year."
To achieve this there will need to be some footwork in terms of making sure that existing services in and around those frequencies are affected as little as possible. To that end there are proposals to amend rules and allocations for fixed wireless, Government and satellite services. The chief aim here is to have more flexible arrangements in these bands.
There is also a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, leaving open the possibility for new items to be, er, ruled opon.
The Further Notice proposes additional bands for consideration at: 24-25 GHz,
32 GHz, 42 GHz, 48 GHz, 51 GHz, 70 GHz and 80 GHz.
The consideration of these higher bands accords in some way with a consultation currently being held by the FCC's UK counterpart Ofcom. Ofcom is consulting on a review of fixed wireless spectrum, and is also considering much higher bands even than 80GHz.
You can follow the FCC meeting here from 10.30am ET and of course Inside5G will cover any unexpected or important results.
