How can i uplaod pictures from my samsung camara S85 . it is connected to the computer but the computer shows no sign of anything plugged in into it . is there any setting that i need to put to the camara to be able to upload my pictures to my computer ??

text: [Followups only to netbsd-advocacy] Okay, speaking of "things the user community can do for NetBSD"... I saw this earlier today in a news report about Linus Torvalds speaking at a conference: A team working under non-disclosure is working on porting Linux to Intel Corp.'s forthcoming Merced, Torvalds said, so that a Merced-optimized version of Linux will be available the day the chip ships. So, here's a perfect opportunity for the -advocacy types. NetBSD will obviously port very easily to the Merced. It would be ultra-cool to release around the time the Merced comes out. All we really need is the right contacts at Intel to assure that we get our hands on hardware, etc. We could also put together a non-disclosed team provided our output was publicly distributable when the processor is released. So, SOMEONE out there has to know some Intel folks who could make this happen. Perhaps someone getting this IS an Intel person who could make this happen. Wouldn't this be really cool to pull off?

About the Book
"Gets closer to this marathon than an avenue railbird, and it leaves impressions not fleeting, but lasting."
—Sports Illustrated
The New York City Marathon is considered one of the nation's—and the world's—premier sporting events. A reporter for the New York Times, Liz Robbins brings the color, the history, the electricity of this remarkable annual competition alive in A Race Like No Other. Centering her narrative around the fabled 2007 running, Robbins captures all the intensity of the grand event, following the runners—both professional and amateur—along 26.2 grueling miles through the streets of New York, from the starting line at the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to the finish line in Central Park, and offering fascinating portraits of marathon legends like the race's charismatic founder, the late Fred Lebow, and nine-time champion Grete Waitz. The Wall Street Journal raves: "Robbins nails the race, painting a broad, impressionistic portrait of what I consider New York's greatest day." No other book captures the excitement of the New York City Marathon like A Race Like No Other.
The New York City Marathon: 26.2 grueling miles across five bridges and through five distinct boroughs, accompanied by the cheers of two million fans and propelled by the unique motivation that churns inside every participant.
New York Times reporter Liz Robbins brings the famed New York City Marathon to life, capturing the day's festivities mile by mile. She tells the stories of the determined competitors—from their friendships and rivalries to their adversity and redemption—through the prism of the unforgettable 2007 race. Infused with rich history of the event's legends and its colorful neighborhood characters, A Race Like No Other provides a curbside seat to the first Sunday in November, breathlessly carrying the reader from the start on the towering Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the triumphant finish line in Central Park.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Robbins, a sportswriter for The New York Times, has packed her book with scrumptious details…If the written word still has any force, then this book could take on talismanic power, like the medal or the Mylar cape that every finisher receives." — New York Times Book Review
"Robbins's absorbing book...finds its stride....A Race Like No Other gets closer to this marathon than an avenue railbird, and it leaves impressions not fleeting, but lasting." — Sports Illustrated
"I found this fabulous history of the New York City Marathon fascinating because Robbins brings to life the incredible pressures runners are under, as well as explaining their training methods and introducing us to their intense rivalries and friendships….Whether you're a runner or a couch potato, this will make you at the very least want to watch the marathon, armed with a sense of what each and every mile means to the thousands of competitors who run them." — Penthouse
"This book brings the race alive, detailing the running of the 2007 Marathon through the stories of the runners themselves...You won't stop reading 'til they've crossed the finish line." — Best Health Magazine
"Robbins, who covers sports for the New York Times, offers a vivid, winning portrait of the New York City Marathon, now the largest in the world with nearly 40,000 participants. Taking the 2007 race mile by mile, Robbins profiles each of the principal elite runners, including their training regimens and personal stories; describes each mile's particular features; limns a large cast of supporting characters, from an aid-station volunteer to a gospel choir that performs inspirational music for the marathoners on the eighth mile; and gives an good overview of how the event is organized. Along the way, Robbins conveys an intimate sense of the physical demands the race places on the body, all the while building suspense-though we know the winners-that's the equal of a good action movie. A quality piece of journalism from start to finish."" — Booklist (starred review)
"If you can't make the trek from Fort Wadsworth to Central Park, and can't get there to watch it in person, this new account of the world's biggest marathon is the next best source of inspiration." — The Advocate
"An engrossing, edifying and moving chronicle of a day in the life of the marathon and its participants.…[Robbins] is a master of her craft: she deftly combines historical fact with creative interpretation, statistics and time-splits with detailed description….A Race Like No Other is a satisfying read for many reasons, not least because Robbins' writing is fluid and engaging, and she offers an unprecedented inside look at the storied event." — BookPage
"Whether you have run the New York City Marathon or not, or even any marathon, you will likely be inspired and encouraged by the stories in A Race Like No Other." — Boulder Daily Camera
"Lace up your sneakers and take a run like no other. Liz Robbins has written a poignant, fast-paced profile of a world-class event that is more than just a sports story. It's a rare view behind the city scenes and an inspirational look into the souls of athletes – from the pros to the plodders – revealing why they are so driven and yet so human. A heart-pounding read from start to finish." — Sally Jenkins, Washington Post columnist, author of The Real All-Americans and co-author of the New York Times bestselling It's Not About the Bike
"One of the great pleasures of running the Marathon for me was being among the masses of people. Thousand of personal stories drive runners to compete in New York each year. With the touch of a gifted storyteller, Liz Robbins brings to life the faces in the crowd, and draws the reader right into this amazing race." — Grete Waitz, nine-time winner of the New York City Marathon
"One of the world's great races finally has its own biography, and it's as wacky, entertaining, and beguiling as the Big Apple itself. If you had no interest in 'running New York' beforehand, this book will definitely change your mind." — John L. Parker, author of Once a Runner and Again to Carthage

Photography Rod Kruger © copyright 2004
Nepenthes gymnamphora is a widely distributed plant, to which there is attached some disagreement in relation to its taxonomy. Recently, Jebb and Cheek elevated the Sumatran plants of N. gymnamphora to species status, calling them N. pectinata. Accordingly, plants labelled N. gymnamphora have originated from Java. The plants have similar morphology and growth habits, and grow in similar environments and altitudes.

Geography Crafts: Norway: Rosemaling
This year we're exploring Geography through arts and crafts! We usually have another homeschooling family join us, and that's been fun too. After our first lesson, Kaia asked if she could choose the next country. I was certainly curious what she wanted! She then requested something Norwegian because we have Norwegian ancestors. When I learned about rosemaling, I knew it would be the perfect project.
Rosemaling is a traditional craft from Norway and Sweden. I found these videos extremely helpful as I learned about the art:

Pumpkin Baby!!
Happy October!!
I have been so excited about taking Pumpkin Baby pictures of Ryleigh ever since I saw the idea last year. I knew she would be just the right age, and I am so glad she was willing to indulge me! Jon thinks it looks like she has a "giant pumpkin diaper," but I think it is just so cute!!
Just in case you wondered, I did line the cold pumpkin with a nice cloth diaper. ;)

Ryleigh's 6-Month Pictures & update
I love baby pictures! And I love the effect digital photography has had on picture taking: getting hundreds of shots of very similar poses! I have tried to narrow these 6-month pictures down to just a handful for you.
Of course, I think she's the cutest baby ever (you know I have three cutest babies ever now) and I love to look at her over and over! So, here's a couple of the bloopers:
And what was she doing at six months?
- Obviously she was sitting, rolling, and grabbing objects!
- She also could say a pretty clear "Mama" and "Dada" and summon Kaia and Harry with distinct calls. You might call her calls a cry, but I can tell it's a name. She has been working very hard on talking.
- Her first food, at six months, was homemade baby food: carrots!
And what is she doing now? Well, we're approaching eight months in another week, and here are some of her mad skills:
- She has a sign for "come," though she also uses it to summon inanimate objects. Often, she gets lucky and they come flying toward her (in the hands of Kaia or Harry).
- She pulled up (all the way to a standing position) for the first time yesterday.
- She likes to stand and hold on to things...and she gets very frustrated when she falls!
- She is doing a fun combination of rolling, scooting, and almost-crawling to get around. She has crawled a few times, but it's usually an accident. Yesterday, she actually crawled deliberately...though she only moved each leg once before she fell on her tummy!
- She loves to go outside. She loves to go running in the jogging stroller. She cries whenever we walk past the door without opening it and going outside.
- She is still working hard on talking. She makes lots of sounds, and we're not sure what it all means, but one of her favorite games is to make sounds and listen to us copy them. She also copies back, and it is hilarious!
- She has lots of ideas and opinions and is not shy about letting us know exactly what she wants...and doesn't want! She does not like getting dressed, wearing headbands, having her diaper changed, or having her face wiped. She does like to go outside, touch new things, eat (especially those funny Gerber puffs, fruit, and carrots), and she really loves playing with her family.
Happily, we really love her too, and are so glad she is now part of our family. Harry and Kaia play with her so well and love to make her happy. A few weeks ago, Kaia said it best: "I just can't imagine our family without Ryleigh!"

Happy Baby
You know those moments when your baby finds the silliest thing completely hysterical, and you think, "If she would only keep laughing when I pull out a camera, I would record this!" Well, she actually did keep laughing this time! Of course, it was much funnier when I wasn't holding the camera, but you get the idea...
If it doesn't load, you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDWFEf0Jrmc&feature=youtu.be

Invited Guest Editor
Schmitt, T. (2013). Invited Editorial: Smartphone healthcare apps: Tricorder quality yet? Online Journal of Nursing Informatics (OJNI), 17 (3). Available at http://ojni.org/issues/?p=2854
As a nurse practitioner with long standing practices in rural and underserved areas, where the majority of my patients lack adequate if any health care insurance or resources, there continue to be many times when I want a medical Tricorder like Dr. Leonard (Bones) McCoy had in the original Star Trek series. How wonderful to complete electrophysiological cardiac or simple radiological testing without having to implore patients to go to other places they cannot get to, to get tests they cannot afford, simply to have them return not having completed the ordered test. Oh, how I have longed for technology at the bedside. Now, such technology is no longer the stuff of visionary Hollywood creators.
Recent advances in smartphone technology have expanded my abilities to bring current information to my patients as quickly as possible. Like many health care providers I use Micromedex (http://www.micromedex.com/2/mobile.html), American Academy of Pediatrics (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/american-academy-pediatrics/id526086606?mt=8), New England Journal of Medicine (http://www.nejm.org/page/about-nejm/mobile-applications), and IDdx infectious disease (http://www.iddx.info/) applications frequently (not to mention the calculator that is always readily available). Recently, after watching a brief news clip about smartphone use in healthcare (Rock Center, 2013), I was left wondering if my smartphone is a Tricorder in disguise? If so, can it save healthcare?
Topol (2013) is a leader in development, application, and analysis of the usefulness of smartphone apps and seems to be able to see the same problems I have in health care. Topol is the director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute (http://stsiweb.org/) and frequently presents on the theme of disruptive health care through technology (Weinstock, 2013). Topol proposed that specific smartphone applications (henceforth known as 'apps') and the soon, if not now, future of healthcare depends on bedside assessments and interventions, cost savings to the patient by making testing readily available in primary care offices, cutting out the middle men, picking the right pharmaceuticals, the recognition that each patient is unique, and a need for more patient participation and ownership of their own health, all of which he argued can be achieved through emerging smartphone technology (Rock Center, 2013).
Can we really overcome most of our healthcare woes by tapping into our smartphone? Well over 19,000 medical applications exist for iPhones with another 8,000 for android phones, and over another 20,000 more health and fitness apps for each device (184Apps.biz, 2013; App Brain, 2013). Smart phones can be more than devices to look up the latest information. With the proper space, know how, and finances smartphones can be used to take a patient's vital signs, run an electrocardiograph, conduct an ultrasound, and even detect cancer (Buijink, Visser, & Marshall, 2013; Lippman, 2013).
While this real-life science fiction is taking place several hurdles are yet to be overcome. Regulation and oversight of the cost of apps, design, accuracy, and use is being debated. In contrast to the number of medical apps available, very few have actual FDA 510(k) approval status (Dolan, 2012). Further, smartphone companies are cracking down on medical device applications due to increasing pressure from the FDA (Husain, 2012). In 2011 draft recommendations for mobile app guidelines were developed by the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health, but continue to remain in 'draft' state (FDA, 2011). Training and proper use remains an issue. It would be wonderful to be able to run an ultrasound on every pregnant woman who enters the clinic or to check cardiac valve function instantaneously, but user training and error is critical enough that many healthcare systems require a radiologist to over-read or only-read such tests. Likewise, portability of results in smartphone form, while excellent for screening, may be an issue with the vast differences in electronic medical records.
Patient security is also forefront in the conversation and only adds more unanswered questions. If the federal government can watch our discussions, as needed of course, what ensures that patient health care data will be safe on smartphones? Will health care systems further restrict the use of such devices, limiting their application? As an extension of patient privacy and health care system liability will organizations demand knowledge about the mobile apps that health care providers are using? Will the health systems themselves require fees, paperwork, and testing if they know such apps are being used?
The great hope for the use of such apps is to make health care more unique, personal, and appropriate through faster, cost effective, and accessible devices. This remains a strong argument for the use of smartphone technology at the point of care. Topol (2013) suggested that patients need to take ownership and seize control of their healthcare through analyzing data from health care smartphone apps. While I whole-heartedly agree I continue to see large numbers of patients who cannot read, let alone analyze their phone data. Further, many of my patients do not even have more than a couple of pairs of shoes, let alone a smartphone. Unfortunately, until we fix this major flaw in our healthcare system I am afraid that many of the battles we fight will continue. If patients cannot access a provider or purchase basic hypertension medication, it will not matter whether I can screen them at the bedside for cardiomyopathy.
Overcoming barriers to technology access is the next goal. To address the glaring disparity among the patients who may need the technology the most grant funded programs must be developed where patients are provided with and instructed on smartphone and specific app use to improve their patient outcomes. Such programs must be monitored for patient health outcomes, changes in health literacy, and patient empowerment. If we can require a blood glucose monitor and diabetic testing supplies for diabetic patients, why not begin looking to smartphones as medical devices, with multiple applications and uses, not simply serving a single purpose? Health literacy in using such devices could be no more difficult than sitting with an educator for a brief period of time for demonstration and return. Imagine if we created an entirely new area of patient education, the smartphone educator! Further, clinicians who need this technology the most are those in rural and urban underserved medical areas. Smartphones with important bedside testing technology and the training to use them would be a boon to the medical providers that struggle to create adequate care for their patients. Access to such technology by these clinics should be a priority for federal and other health related philanthropic organizations funding objectives.
The FDA could also step up efforts to clearly define app use in practice, speed up the process of medical device approval, and ensure that such applications are not financially strapping to the companies that seek to improve the health of many. Finally, nurses need to be using routine and sound apps throughout their education and encouraged to seek out and evaluate smartphone apps for patient and clinician use at all levels of nursing education. Smart phones should become as common in nursing education as watches with second hands were only a couple of decades ago.
In the meantime, we should be learning more about how smartphones can enhance our practice, add such topics to our curriculums, hospital continuing education, and conference agendas, and continue to press the FDA for guidance. We also should enthusiastically embrace Topol's (2013) ideas. We must think outside-the-box, to fix the healthcare crisis we remain in – creative destruction to build a revolution! We must also work together to facilitate the use of apps to improve patient care, decrease costs, and close the technological divide by providing smartphone technologies to our patients most in need of them.

Kristen Stewart has nothing but love for her Panic Room costar Jodie Foster.
Celebrating the actress at a Beverly Hills Hollywood Foreign Press Association event Nov. 1, the Twilight star — along with The Mentalist's Simon Baker — revealed that Foster would be the 2012 recipient of the HFPA's prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award.
"This is a special moment for me. . . . she's been really important in my life for a long time and I think Simon and I are really thrilled to make this announcement," Stewart, 22, said when announcing Foster's latest accolade. Clad in a grey Bec & Bridge dress, she then went on to highlight how Foster's "screen presence, directorial skills and entrepreneurial success have established her as one of the most admired and respected people in the industry."
Awarded annually, the Cecil B. DeMille honor is given to those who made a lasting impact on the entertainment industry. Previous recipients include Harrison Ford, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese and Barbra Streisand. Foster, 49, will be lauded at the 70th annual Golden Globes, held on Jan. 13, 2013.
Though she was all dolled up to announce pal Foster's honor Thursday, the previous night — on Halloween — Stewart wasn't in the mood to play dress-up. Hand-in-hand with her boyfriend Robert Pattinson, Stewart made the rounds at a star-packed costume bash at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery — wearing jeans, a t-shirt and sneakers.
With Stewart's July cheating scandal behind them, she and Pattinson are expected to continue promotional duties for the final Twilight film, with a junket scheduled for later this week.

We've built a comprehensive guide to help you learn JavaScript development online, whether you're just getting started as a web developer or you want to explore more advanced topics such as using the newest frameworks or building your own! This Learning Guide will help you:
- Learn the fundamentals of the JavaScript language.
- Get started coding for the web with jQuery.
- Build websites and apps using front-end frameworks such as Angular and React.
- Learn Node.js, and write JavaScript for the server.
- Develop cross-platform mobile apps with Ionic and React Native.
- Go further with JavaScript and keep your skills sharp.
1. What Is JavaScript?
Wikipedia defines it this way:
JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic, untyped, and interpreted programming language. It has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification.
- High-Level. When a programming language is high-level, you can code it without needing to know details about the host computer. You don't have to manage memory, you don't have to know what type of processor is running, and you don't have to deal with things like pointers (such as in languages like C or Assembly).
- Dynamic. Languages that are dynamic allow developers to add new code or change the structure of objects while the program is running. This is a powerful feature of JavaScript, and it makes possible frameworks that can adapt the language to very different contexts and ways of working.
If you want to learn more about the structure of the language and how it's used, check out our tutorial.
2. JavaScript Fundamentals
If you're learning JavaScript for the first time then you'll want a course that starts at the very beginning and covers everything about the language that a beginner needs to know. Whether you're completely new to coding, or you're coming to JavaScript from another language, our Modern JavaScript Fundamentals course goes through everything you need to get up and running with one of the most popular and dynamic languages in use today.
If you're a web designer who's just getting started with JavaScript then you should check out JavaScript for Web Designers to learn the basics of JavaScript from a web designer's perspective.

Learn jQuery
At the time it was released, it was especially useful because of the inconsistencies that existed among JavaScript implementations in older versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and eventually Google Chrome (which wasn't released until 2008).
As described by the jQuery website:
Learn more about jQuery and how it's used in our tutorial.
jQuery has been a part of the JavaScript ecosystem for a long time and has been used in a number of very popular projects (such as WordPress), so learning it is a great way to get started programming for the web. In these courses, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started using jQuery in your projects.

3. Front-End Frameworks
While the number of ways to organise a JavaScript project are almost infinite, JavaScript frameworks can help you give structure to your code and make it more flexible and scalable. There are a number of popular JavaScript frameworks you can choose to use, but deciding between them can be difficult.
Our course Comparing Front-End Frameworks can help you make an informed choice. Experiment with each framework, get a feel for how it works, and decide which one is best suited for your project needs or style of programming.
You can also find out which front-end framework you should learn by taking our quiz!
Get Started in the Front-End
We have courses and tutorials to help you learn and develop your skills with all of the major front-end JavaScript frameworks. If you're interested in learning more about AngularJS, Angular, or React we have full Learning Guides dedicated to them.

4. Back-End Frameworks
More Back-End Resources
Express is the most popular back-end framework for Node.js and JavaScript. Express makes it easy to create a web server with pure JavaScript, allowing you to write full-stack JavaScript apps—apps that use the same language on the front- and back-ends.
WebSockets are another great full-stack tool. They enable fast asynchronous communication between the browser and server.
GraphQL is designed to work with data represented by a graph, and it has a powerful query syntax for traversing, retrieving, and mutating data. Learn how to build a back-end GraphQL API in our course.
5. Front-End Libraries
JavaScript libraries provide helper functions, objects, and modules which your application code calls for specific functionality. Learn how to use some of the most popular front-end libraries in these courses.

6. Cross-Platform Mobile
Cross-platform mobile development has the advantage of letting you creating mobile apps that feature a polished user experience similar to a native app, while allowing you to share the same code across multiple platforms.
The most popular cross-platform frameworks tend to be those built on successful front-end frameworks such as Angular and React. Make your mobile development more efficient and learn cross-platform mobile development with our courses.
Ionic 2
The Ionic framework is one of the most popular projects on GitHub. By letting web developers use their existing skills to make apps for mobile devices, Ionic has enabled a whole generation of apps. One of the reasons for Ionic's success is that it builds on the popular Angular web framework.

You can also check out our series of Coffee Break Courses on Ionic.
React Native
Created by Facebook, React Native tries to bridge the gap between a native application and a web-based mobile application. It does this by letting you write your user interface in modern JavaScript and automatically transforming it into native views specific to your supported platforms. We have several courses to get you started with React Native.
- React NativeGet Started With React NativeMarkus Mühlberger
- React NativeBuild a Social App With React NativeMarkus Mühlberger
The Cordova platform is a cross-platform framework for building apps. Instead of building an app with native languages like Java or Objective-C, you can build it with familiar web technologies and bundle it in a native container for your target platform. Cordova allows you to build apps for Android and iOS, as well as Amazon Fire, BlackBerry, Firefox, and Ubuntu.
Despite using web technologies, Cordova has robust support for using the features and facilities of a mobile environment. Learn Cordova in this course by building a simple app.

Lord Tensai, Brodus Clay and the WWE's Monster ProblemMay 6, 2012
In the over-the-top world of professional wrestling, namely in the WWE, bigger is better. But when is big too big?
The list of monster heels and babyfaces currently on the WWE roster is astounding if not irresponsible.
In recent weeks, the WWE has introduced a small handful of imposing talents, with their gimmicks being highlighted by lightning-quick victories and in-ring dominance. These stars join a list of similar wrestlers who have benefited from the same scheme.
Lord Tensai was previously known as A-Train in the WWE. He is a super heavyweight who integrates the Japanese wrestling style he perfected following his release from the WWE in 2004.
Accompanied by disciple Sakamoto, Tensai makes use of green mist to blind his opponent en route to their inevitable destruction.
Unfortunately, fans have sat in indifference during the majority of Lord Tensai's matches, because a one-sided victory by an enlarged talent is nothing new to a fanbase that was spoiled by the Attitude Era.
Been there, done that.
Ryback is SmackDown's answer to Lord Tensai. Ryback's squash matches come off as different because he receives the treatment of backstage interest.
Prior to making his entrance each week, members of the WWE locker room gather around a monitor to see who Ryback is going to obliterate next.
The jobbers in question cut a scathing promo against the audience, designed to get heat on them before they are fed to Ryback.
Ryback has been a bit more successful in captivating fan interest than Lord Tensai, but not by much.
Ryback has been doing the same act for about a month now. His recent pay-per-view debut was met with sarcastic "Goldberg" chants from an entertaining Chicago crowd.
Translation? They've seen this movie before as well.
The Great Khali channels memories of the Giant Gonzalez as an exceptionally tall athlete who simply can't work.
Despite all the potential money that his extra-large frame suggests he could make as a heel, fans refuse to embrace him given the fact that he has been exposed multiple times as a somewhat clumsy talent who can't wrestle.
Kane has been a monster mainstay for years, and the big red monster made his return earlier this year. Kane's supernatural gimmick was intriguing 10 years ago. Now, it's a stale act that fans only sit through out of respect for a character that has somehow managed to stand the test of time.
Kane has graduated from the squash matches that made him into the supreme force he is today, and he's now neck-deep in a feud with Randy Orton.
The feud has produced little to no compelling TV segments, and while the wrestling matches have overachieved, many see this feud as a placeholder for Randy Orton, who is a WWE superstar in decline.
The Big Show is yet another over-sized veteran who has earned the respect of WWE fans. He has never been an overwhelming favorite and still struggles for fan support in his ongoing feud with a heelish Cody Rhodes. But Show still has value when used as someone who can put younger talent like Rhodes over.
Problem is, he rarely loses clean, and when he does lose he almost always gets his heat back with an immediate post-match beat-down, thereby defeating his own purpose.
Brodus Clay has been the one bright spot amid the sea of bland monstrosity. Whether it's the dancing, the pretty dancers or the pyro, it didn't take long before Funkamania ran wild on the WWE universe.
With fans numb to the formulaic gimmicks installed in other 350-pound superstars, Clay added a breath of fresh air with his line-dancing and quirky, funky offensive tactics.
Brock Lesnar was brought back to be the monster savior in the WWE. With a proven track record in the WWE, UFC and the box office, Lesnar was the perfect acquisition to provide "legitimacy" to the WWE, as has been the tagline for his comeback tour.
Lesnar has been brilliant when used, with the glaring low-light being an inexplicable yet recoverable loss to John Cena in his first match in eight years.
Lesnar spent the majority of that match tearing Cena apart limb from limb, only to fall in the closing moments. Lesnar was last seen breaking Triple H's arm and will likely be off of WWE TV as a means to preserve the limited dates mandated by a very lucrative contract.
So what have we learned?
The WWE has had a noticeable influx of monster talents as of late, and with each bruising, intimidating super-heavyweight, more precious novelty is lost.
Perhaps the most novel superstar of this stature isn't even a superstar, but rather a diva in Kharma, who is set to add to the crowded pool of super-heavyweights through her imminent return.
The fact that she is the only diva billed at nearly 300 pounds certainly helps her. Unlike her male counterparts, her gimmick provides something new to the Divas Division
The WWE needs to take a "less is more" approach in booking these seemingly unstoppable beasts. Squash matches are already seen as yesterday's news, but they can still be relevant if they come off as special.
If Lord Tensai, Brodus Clay and Ryback are all winning quick matches in a span of less than a week of one another, any uniqueness left in the monster gimmick itself dies.
There needs to be some level of restraint displayed with any superstar who is being booked to take the Godzilla route to superstardom. And if the WWE thinks that it can squeeze the same act through fans' B.S. meters without any repercussion, they're in for a very rude awakening.
What would happen if there was a UFC invasion of the WWE? Plus, click here for Big Nasty's debut on the Ultimate Show and follow Big Nasty on Twitter @ThisIsNasty.

Factor 1: Professional Knowledge, Skill, and Technical Mastery
Level 2 - 900 Points: Entry-level professional knowledge of the principles, concepts, practices, and methods of non-technical administrative and managerial functions. Knowledge permits the employee to carry out basic recurring tasks and routine portions of assignments or to carry out less demanding professional elements of assignments in areas including communications, social sciences, art and design, education, and related functions while gaining in familiarity with the University's policies and goals, business practices and/or accounting systems. This level of knowledge permits the employee to schedule and carry out the steps of a limited operation or project to complete stages of a multi-phase project. Knowledge at this level is typically acquired through a combination of formal education and/or training and experience that includes a requirement for a college degree in an unspecified field or a specific background in a non-technical area. Knowledge requirements may also include a limited amount of related work experience.
Factor 2: Supervisory Responsibility
Level 3 - 270 Points: Supervision of a limited number of (a) operative, administrative support, or paraprofessional employees who do not exercise a full range of supervisory responsibilities over other full-time employees, (b) a very small number of professional employees, or an equivalent combination of (a) and (b). The incumbent performs a full range of supervisory responsibilities including performance reviews of subordinates. The incumbent is generally responsible for training, planning, and directing the work of permanent employees, and provides major input into hiring decisions. Supervisory responsibilities consume moderate amounts of work time and may include general work planning tasks.
Factor 3: Interactions with Others
Level 2 - 100 Points: Interactions are generally routine and structured involving employees inside the University, students, or the general public. The purpose may include obtaining or clarifying facts, coordinating work, solving recurring problems, or providing factual information to others. Contacts may be with coworkers or structured exchanges with students, faculty, or the general public, and are generally for the purpose of exchanging information.
Factor 4: Job Controls and Guidelines
Level 2 - 250 Points: The employee carries out a group of procedures using the general methods and desired results indicated by the supervisor. Typically, standard operating procedures, handbooks, and/or reference manuals exist for most procedures, but the employee must select from the most appropriate of several guidelines and make minor adjustments to methods. Unforeseen situations are normally referred to others for resolution. Assignments are related in function and objective, but processes, procedures, or software varies from one assignment to another. Based on the assignment, the employee uses diverse, but conventional, methods, techniques, or approaches. Employees in jobs at this level may perform work that is moderately complex, but normally performed within a fairly narrow and specific functional area.
Factor 5: Managerial Responsibility
Level 2 - 400 Points: Work involves services including collecting, processing, and disseminating information and providing advice to others. Work activities may be complex and likely affect the accuracy, reliability, or acceptability of further processes or services to the extent that others rely on the advice given in order to make decisions. Work activities typically affect the efficiency of the department but have relatively minor effects on operations within the cost center. Individuals in jobs at this level are often responsible for actively documenting, monitoring, and controlling expenditures. Incumbents may recommend minor expenditures, but have no substantive authority over budgets.

Kelly - posted on 05/04/2010 ( 5 moms have responded )
I am 36 years old and have had my 14 month old grandson living with us for the past 3 months. His mum, my 18 year old daughter, moved to WA 2 months ago with her 16 year old boyfriend and is now apparently 3 months pregnant. She says she will be back in early July and wants to have her son back full time when she gets settled. Child Protection was involved until I took my grandson so the case has been closed. I am worried for my grandson as this is the first real stable home he has lived in, since he has lived in about 5 different homes in his short little life, and he is now starting to gain weight. Can anyone please give me some good advice. We cant afford to go for legal custody, sadly.

Engine Performance problem
2000 Toyota 4Runner 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 198750 miles
I have a Toyota 4Runner, 2000, with 198,750 on it. I am getting the check engine light which I thought was just O2 sensors, which I replaced. Turns out I do need a new cat. My mechanic turned the check engine off for me, and now it's back on. I am in CA and want to find a legal cat and bring it to a muffler shop to repair. Any suggestions on how to get a good CA-legal cat for my vehicle?
Also, I have had some phantom starting issues as well. Not the battery, alternator, or fuel pump. All check ok. I thought maybe Solenoid but I don't really have that much knowledge. Any ideas on what else could cause problem? My mechanic cleaned the sensors (I think O2 and Air if those are in fact different), but any other suggestions to check are appreciated.
have the same problem?

"I'm just drifting from one nightmare to the next,/switching trains at every stop,/sleepwalking to evade these crying alarms,/sleeptalking only to whisper your name."
Favorite part.
I love your descriptions, I could really see all of this in my head. Sometimes your wording was amazing, but other times it wasn't as strong as it could have been and that detracted from the poem overall. Try to use your own metaphors rather than relying on cliches, it makes the read much more interesting and unpredictable. Anyway, I liked this poem a lot, keep writing.

This is a quick start guide for installing Tuxonice (formerly suspend2), an advanced suspend/hibernate framework which supports suspending to a swap-disk or a regular file with fast LZO-compression. Visit the Tuxonice website for a full list of features.
Preparing the kernel
Tuxonice consists of a kernel patch, plus an optional user interface. Only the kernel patch is necessary, the user interface merely provides a graphical interface displayed during the hibernation/resume cycle.
You can use the kernel26-ice package in the AUR. It automatizes all the patch routines, the compilation and installation of the kernel, the regeneration of the initramfs with an appropriate hook. If you use Yaourt this procedure is very simple:
# yaourt -S kernel26-ice
Otherwise, you need to patch, configure and compile your own kernel. See Kernel Compilation From Source and Kernel Compilation with ABS for instructions. The required patch can be obtained from the Tuxonice website mentioned above.
Next, install the hibernate-script package from the Extra repository which we will use to call Tuxonice. Hibernate-script is the default script developed by the Tuxonice development team:
# pacman -S hibernate-script
The configuration files for hibernate-script are in /etc/hibernate, we will get back to them shortly.
Setting up the bootmanager
Before your can use the suspend function, you need to add the "resume" parameter in your bootmanager, unless you have hardcoded your swap partition during the kernel configuration. The resume parameter points to the swap partition or swap file. Below are the steps involved for either the swap or filewriter method.
Suspend to swap partition
If your swap partition is for instance /dev/sda3, you have to append "resume=swap:/dev/sda3" as a kernel parameter in your lilo.conf file or GRUB's /boot/grub/menu.lst. For example:
title Arch Linux Ice kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda2 ro resume=swap:/dev/sda3 initrd /boot/kernel26-ice.img
Adjust accordingly to your specific case. Then uncomment and set the swap method in /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf:
SuspendDevice swap:/dev/sda3
Suspend to file
For the file allocator, you will have to prepare a hibernation file. First configure the /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf file, uncomment the "FilewriterLocation" option:
FilewriterLocation /suspend_file 1000
1000 is the amount of diskspace reserved for the hibernation file, in this case 1000 Megabytes. Usually an amount of 50% - 75% of your total amount of RAM will suffice.
Next, run the following command to create the hibernate file:
# hibernate --no-suspend
Take a look in /sys/power/tuxonice/resume for what to pass to your kernel. You should see something like file:/dev/hda7:0x10011f, in which case you should append "resume=file:/dev/hda7:0x10011f" as a kernel parameter in your lilo.conf file or GRUB's menu.lst.
Recreating the initramfs
If you use an initramfs, you need to add the resume hook in the HOOKS in the configuration of mkinitcpio. Additionally, if you want to speed things up by using LZO compression, add the lzo module to the MODULES array in the same file.
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf example:
MODULES="lzo" HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems"
Rebuild the initramfs:
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26-ice
Suspending and resuming
With hibernate-script, your preferred hibernation method can be set in the file /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf. If you list several methods, the first one will be used. Note that hibernate can also be used with Suspend to RAM or vanilla swsusp, but this is not part of this guide.
For Tuxonice use:
TryMethod suspend2.conf
Specific settings for Tuxonice are in /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf. Make sure that the following lines are uncommented and appropriately configured:
UseSuspend2 yes Reboot no EnableEscape yes DefaultConsoleLevel 1 Compressor lzo
Encryptor none
There is a number of additional settings and tweaks which you can set in /etc/hibernate/common.conf, more information about these are on the Tuxonice website and on the Suspend to Disk page of this wiki.
Now try Tuxonice hibernation with the following method:
# hibernate -F /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf
You can abort a suspend cycle if you press the escape key. If you press a capital R, you will force the system to reboot after hibernation.
If all goes well, you should be able to resume using the same Grub menu selection. If you make that option the default for Grub, you will always default to resuming if a resume image is available. Do never use a different kernel to resume than you used to suspend! If pacman updates your kernel, don't suspend before you have rebooted properly. It is recommended that you test the suspend/hibernate from a text console first and then once you have confirmed that it works try it from within X.
You can make this practice safer adding the hibernate-cleanup daemon to your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf. This script will make sure that any stale image is deleted from your swap partition at boot time. This should make your system safe also in the case that you have chosen the mistaken kernel at the grub prompt. The hibernate-cleanup service is included in the hibernate-script package.
Using userui - a user interface for Tuxonice (optional)
Optionally, you can use a text or fbsplash interface with a progress bar with tuxonice. To do this, install the userui package in the extra repo:
# pacman -S userui
In /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf, configure the user interface:
## Specify a userui like this: # text interface ProcSetting user_interface/program /usr/sbin/tuxoniceui_text
## Specify a userui like this: # fbsplash interface interface ProcSetting user_interface/program /usr/sbin/tuxoniceui_fbsplash
The fbsplash interface also needs a fbsplash theme in /etc/splash/suspend2/.
The text interface may be good for debugging suspend2, as it displays some messages. You won't see a user interface for the first few seconds of the resume process unless you add the userui hook to your mkinitcpio (before the resume hook) configuration and regenerate your initramfs, but this is also optional. When you use the kernel26tp 2.6.25 (or any other newer kernel versions, I guess), you have to edit /lib/initcpio/hooks/userui so that it searches for tuxonice at the right place, make it look like this:
# vim:set ft=sh: run_hook () { if [ -d "/sys/power/tuxonice" ]; then suspend2ui="/sys/power/tuxonice/user_interface/program" else suspend2ui="/proc/suspend2/userui_program" fi if [ -e ${suspend2ui} ]; then echo "/sbin/suspend2ui" > ${suspend2ui} fi }
Then run mkinitcpio -p kernel26-ice or similar
- The Tuxonice website and Tuxonice wiki are excellent sources of documentation.
- More general information about suspend/hibernate with hibernate-script can be found on the Suspend to Disk page of this wiki. This also covers more advanced topics like problems with specific hardware and configurations.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) Although no official papers have been filed, Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols left little doubt today about whether or not he'll seek the death penalty against the remaining two charged in the brutal slayings of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
"We intent to put Mr. (Lemaricus) Davidson and Mr. (George) Thomas to death in this case," Nichols told the judge in a hearing for Davidson that just wrapped up in Knox County Court.
Official death penalty notices should be filed by the end of the week, according to WVLT courthouse reporter Rob Pratt.
Letalviusa Cobbins was the first in court this morning. Bruce Poston has agreed to be co-counsel for Cobbins in his case. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against him.
His hearing today was quickly reset until March 7, 2008. Prosecutors say they want to get a DNA sample from Cobbins to match against hairs found on one of the victim's body. His trial date is set for next year.
A hearing set for Davidson has also been reset to March 7th.
Vanessa Coleman, the fourth suspect and only woman charged in the murders, was not scheduled to be in court today. She also faces the death penalty.
All four are charged in a 50+ count indictment describing the brutal rape and murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in January of 2007, inside a home on Chipman Street in Knoxville. The two had been headed to a party with friends when they were carjacked.
A man, Eric Dewayne Boyd also faces federal charges for allegedly sheltering Davidson after the murders. Although his trial will be first, he does not face murder charges and prosecutors have not said he was involved in the killings.

Michael Schumacher, Ferrari's champion Formula 1 driver, gets paid $40 million annually; and earns more than twice as much from commercial sponsorships and endorsements. Ferrari has an annual racing budget of $750 million, and makes a profit.
The company that owns the top-end racing business is worth a couple of billion dollars. Or take another case. Kobe Bryant, the American basketball player, is paid just under $30 million, and has a Nike sponsorship that fetches him more than one-and-a-half times that sum. The Lakers, for which he plays, have an annual revenue of $500 million, and profits of $50 million.
If one were to judge from these two examples of successful sports, some ratios suggest themselves. A top-ranked sportsman makes about twice as much from sponsorships as he does from his team. The team earns 10 to 15 times the fees that it pays to its superstar, and makes a decent profit.
And the sport's controlling body or company has a valuation that suggests its revenue stream is not much bigger than that of the leading teams. It seems a fair division of the spoils.
Now switch to India. The top-ranked cricketers (Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid) are to be paid Rs 50 lakh (Rs 5 million) a year as a base contract. If you include playing fees, each of them earns around Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million). Tendulkar probably makes Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million) from endorsements, the others less. That means the sports body (which in this case doubles as the team company) pays them a tiny portion of their total income.
Indeed, the cricket board's total payments to all cricketers in the country would not cross Rs 20 crore in a year. Against that, it has something like Rs 200 crore (Rs 2 billion) lying in banks as fixed deposits -- money that it should have spent on creating the infrastructure for the sport's development.
The board is now threatened (and deservedly so) with the loss of its tax-free status because, while retaining the cloak of a regulatory body for cricket, it has increasingly taken on the hue of a commercial organisation.
This peculiarly Indian dualism explains why the country's richest sport is run in the way it is, with politicians attracted to its seats of power like bees to honey. As we've seen in the past, banks are willing to give friendly loans to people who bring in big-ticket fixed deposits.
Some of this might begin to change, because the super-star cricketers have been strengthened by their commercial power and now have the clout to negotiate with the board for a better deal that favours all players, not just themselves (shades here of the Association of Tennis Professionals). At the same time, cricket is about to become a much bigger business.
As Business Standard reported yesterday, the cricket board is expecting to make Rs 300 crore (RS 3 billion) a year from selling TV and other rights.
Under the deal still being negotiated, the board will pay about a quarter of that to the players (who as a result will see a dramatic increase in their fees). But the board will have even more money left over than it does now, with no one to say how it should use it.
As the Indian TV audience grows in size and importance, these trends will get accentuated, and the dualism will become increasingly untenable. In short, Indian cricket will have to be restructured and become more openly commercial. If companies are born or get into the action as a result, we might even get a proper domestic cricket season.
And, since we are at the start of the Olympic fortnight, spare a thought for the other sports as the country braces itself for yet another drought of medals.
India's Olympians don't have proper coaches, didn't get their pittance of foreign exchange allowances in time, have little by way of professional support (other than to hush up doping scandals) and, as in cricket, have to recognise the all-encompassing power of those who grace the malfunctioning sports bodies.It is hard to see change coming from within (KPS Gill is not about to change his ways, for instance). And it is hard to see change coming from the government, when you have a 74-year-old minister for youth affairs and sports. Even more than the economy, Indian sport cries out for reform.

Chemerical on Netflix
If you have streaming Netflix, check this out. I put it on last night and DH sat and got interested. It's pretty neat. A typical American family goes all-natural cleaning and clears out like a trunk-full of detergents, cleaners, bleach. They start making their own from BS, vinegar, soap, water, and EOs. They even talk about cosmetics, presonal hygiene, etc. It was nice because my DH is an engineer and needs numbers/facts and it actually explains WHY all those things are bad lol
Looks interesting! :)
Re: Chemerical on Netflix
Awesome. I'll have to see that because that's just what we did in our home and I noticed a difference in our health and my home.
Re: Chemerical on Netflix
They had a microbiologist, and some other experts explain why soap and water are adequate. Some air-quality expert came in and tested their air, and their house was at unacceptable levels for VOCs. After they purged their chemicals, everything was so much cleaner and more breathable.
I've been impressed with Netflix and their selection of crunchy documentaries. You have to search for them, but ones like Food Inc, and this one, Business of being Born and tons of others I can't specifically remember their names. I've been putting them on occasionally for DH to help him understand why I do these crazy things, and that I'm not the only one who thinks like this. I even got him to agree to try organic beef after watching one of those documentaries about how meat is raised these days.
I watched it a while ago- it was good & informative

Re: Chemerical on Netflix
Thanks for updating with the results. I grew up in a home where my mom overloaded on chemicals and was always coughing and feeling sick (she's had cancer twice). When we moved, I gave up fabric softener and went for baking soda, vinegar, etc. My son, DH and I have seasonal allergies, as well as eczema, and the natural stuff really helps us in regards to that. We do run an air purifier though because we live in an older home that tends to get dusty (plus we're in the city).
I also loved watching "Vanishing of the Bees," "Berzynski," "Forks Over Knives," and "The Beautiful Truth."
Re: Chemerical on Netflix
The only thig this movie missed was feminine hygiene products. They had a little blurb about a boy in the 50s who died from an overdose of dioxin from playing in runoff from a factory. I started screaming at the tv 'Those are found in disposable pads too!'
Re: Chemerical on Netflix
I will watch this the next opportunity I get!
Thanks for adding to my Netflix list :)
I can add 1 more to the list .. dirt
