It is possible that the main title of the report Polyglucosan Body Disease, Adult is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a rare, chronically progressive, metabolic disorder with severe neurological expression. It is caused by the abnormal accumulation of microscopic material (polyglucosan bodies), predominantly within the myelinated nerve fibers (motor neurons). The polyglucosan bodies are spherical and composed of large, complex, sugar-based molecules (branched polysaccharides).
The disorder typically affects both upper and lower motor neurons, resulting from nerve damage within the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) respectively. Symptoms usually begin during middle age or later and usually include muscle weakness, loss of sensation, and/or wasting of muscles (atrophy) in the arms and/or legs. Impaired bladder control (neurogenic bladder) and/or mental confusion (dementia) also occur.

Magic Kingdom Park
All Ages
Inspired by the castle in Disney's Cinderella, this iconic fairytale palace is the symbol of Magic Kingdom park.
Rising high in the sky at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., Cinderella Castle welcomes you to a magical world of fantasy and fun. The central icon of Walt Disney World Resort, the castle invites all who visit to celebrate in a place where dreams come true.
A Classic Design
Boasting soaring spires, ornate turrets and regal royal-blue rooftops, the 189-foot castle invokes both the magic and mystery of real-world castles—such as Fontainebleau and Versailles—and fictional palaces like the one seen in Disney's animated classic Cinderella.
Adding to the enchanted environment, the castle is surrounded by a tranquil moat, lush green grass, rose bushes and a wishing well, providing perfect picture-taking opportunities from nearly every angle.
Nighttime Enchantment
Cinderella Castle provides a spectacular backdrop for the fireworks extravaganzas that occur in Magic Kingdom park on select nights. Over 16 million colored lights illuminate the castle when the sun sets; and during fireworks shows, lights and music effortlessly come together to create an even more magical setting.
Step inside Cinderella Castle and feel like the hero or heroine of your own storybook adventure. Within the main castle corridor, 5 handcrafted mosaic murals—containing 14-karat gold and silver plus over one million pieces of glass in 500 different colors—tell the classic tale of Cinderella.
Located within, Cinderella's Royal Table and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique craft even more magical experiences for the young and young-at-heart.

Like Gary or not what he has to say in this video is so important to us all. Please take time to watch this and pay attention.
Chill, The HOTTEST Social Video Site Launches
Have you ever wanted to "Chill" with your friends and watch something cool? Ever gathered around a monitor or TV to laugh at the craziest viral video you've ever seen? Well, this hot new startup coming from the "Founders Room" does just that and more.
So what is Chill? Chill is a place for people to watch video together. — Chill.com/blog
Chill, a video sharing site takes video consumption into a different stratosphere. Chill allows you and your friends to watch videos together on your own computers while socially interacting. Most video sites, up 'til now, allowed you to share a video but not have that realtime interaction. Imagine the one liners that came out after watching Miss South Carolina give us an update on the State of the Union about our Maps, now imagine this fun in realtime chatter.
Chill is a very simple and easy account setup process. Go to Chill.com and sign in through Facebook. Once inside, join a "Chill Lounge" or create a new one. Search for your favorite videos on YouTube or Vimeo and add them to your queue, now you're a VJ.
Up to five VJ's can run a room at a single time. You can send in comments from the lounge chairs to everyone in the lounge if a VJ slot is not available in the room. Once another VJ slot opens you can jump up and play some videos doing your best Downtown Julie Brown or Fab Five Freddy imitation.
I got to test this today in a "Chill Lounge" with Mike Arrington of Tech Crunch. Turns out he's a bit time "Ramones" guy too. Chill is going to make social video sharing take on a whole new look and you should be there.
We've always believed that flipping through endless channels and passing around non-social links is a terrible way to experience content. Chill is our first swing at attempting to put the viewer and her friends first. — Brian Norgard, Chill.com
Brian Norgard is absolutely right. In line with what they learned from Namesake.com, everything is better with friends. Chill allows the "synchronous video" that the web has been missing for years. I remember watching the early days of MTV on the phone with friends, tripping over the freshest rhymes of Eric B or Chuck D. Now I can do it again.
Access is still limited for now and the founders are ironing our the wrinkles as fast as we can find them. If you want to join Chill.com send me a friend request on Facebook and Message me. I'll do my best to get you in.

While death and taxes are inevitabilities, the odds of divorce for married couples essentially is a coin flip.
According to U.S. Census data, about 60 percent of McHenry County residents are married with about 10 percent already divorced. Does that mean a large portion of couples in the county will wind up in divorce court at some point?
Marriage remains a key family institution. But, sadly, divorce is a reality for many.
And when it comes to divorce, whether the legal issues are about dividing marital assets or child custody, they can be difficult to navigate, overly contentious and expensive. Part of that is because emotions come into play in divorce moreso than a lot of other legal matters,
Two bills, House Bill 1029 and Senate Bill 31, co-sponsored by state Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, are trying to establish the Uniform Collaborative Law Act to help resolve divorce disputes through collaboration outside of the courtroom.
We think the ideas behind the legislation makes sense. We encourage thoughtful approaches to resolving such disputes. Any approach that would move divorce matters along more efficiently and with fewer court appearances is of benefit to all parties involved.
Litigation is costly both to the individual parties and the public, not to mention time-consuming and aggravating. When children are at the center of disputes, the process also can be damaging for the entire family.
Other states have passed similar laws, including Hawaii, Nevada, Ohio, Texas and Utah.
No one enters marriage wanting a divorce, and few anticipate the level of acrimony that might follow. But everyone deserves a reasonable resolution, which is what this legislation hopes to provide.

Currently the U.S. recycles 28% of its waste - however only 5% of empty printer cartridges are being recycled. Which means that 95% of printer cartridges are being thrown away in household trash and end up in landfills.
Do your part to protect our planet reduce, reuse and recycle your printer cartridges and all plastics.
Why Recycle?
While the world's non-renewable resources continue to be depleted by many industries, electronic waste in particular has grown exponentially ever since the invention of the microprocessor. The good news is that, though currently a major source of landfill material, there are simple ways that many electronic goods can be recycled, reused, and remanufactured. One of the best examples of this is found in print cartridge recycling; a process that has been largely overlooked in the past, but is being taken very seriously now by consumers, governments, and businesses alike.
[read more]
By the year 2012 over 500 million toner cartridges and a staggering 1.8 billion ink cartridges will have been dumped in landfills. In comparison, the amount of cartridges that are recycled each year is a mere fraction. While about 28% of United States citizens recycle, only about 5% of ink and toner cartridges are turned in to the proper facilities for remanufacturing. Considering that each individual cartridge can result in 3.5 pounds of solid waste in a landfill and can take from 450 to 1000 years to decompose, the affects that the constant dumping of ink cartridges is having in the planet becomes all too clear.
Raw waste material is not the only problem posed by trashed ink and toner cartridges. Each new cartridge must also be manufactured, and thus consume resources while emitting pollution. The manufacturing process it takes to produce an ink cartridge releases green house gases, thus polluting the atmosphere along with the earth. About 4.8 kg CO2 of GOGs are estimated to result from the production of a single ink or toner cartridge, and this figure does not even include the ink or toner inside the cartridge.
Producing new cartridges, instead of recycling or remanufacturing old cartridges, also requires a significant degree of raw materials and resources. Ink and toner cartridges are comprised of plastic, metal, rubber, paper, and foam. About 40% of toner cartridges' composition is metal while another 40% consists of plastic, which means it can take up to an entire gallon of petroleum oil to manufacture. Regular inkjet cartridges can require the usage of up to 2 quarts of oil for their plastic components as well.
With about 11 cartridges being disposed of every single second in the U.S., the cartridges thrown away in just one year could wrap around the earth 3 times. Most cartridges that are not properly disposed of through recycling end up in landfills, but some percentage of these cartridges are incinerated, which can result in even more pollution. Additionally, the cartridges that are thrown away are not truly a waste product, and consist of many reusable and recyclable materials. Reusing certain parts that are still usable in their current form is called remanufacturing, while the reuse of raw materials is recycling, and both types of reuse greatly help to reduce waste and air pollution, as well as spare petroleum use.
While recycling programs for toner cartridges go widely unrecognized among businesses and the public, largely due to their inconvenience factor, Quickship.com has now launched a comprehensive ink and toner recycling program that involves shipping the cartridges instead of bringing them the a facility. The program is flexible and able to suit the needs of a large business or that of a sole consumer with a single cartridge and, best of all, Quickship, Inc. pays all the shipping charges, making caring for the environment by cartridge recycling both easy and virtually cost free.
For more information visit Quickship.com.
How It Works
The beauty of recycling is not only that it is a way for us to do our part in preserving our ecosystem, but also that it gets easier to do every day. Toner cartridges, much like almost all other petroleum based products, can be both remanufactured and recycled for their raw material. Unfortunately, recycling toner cartridges has, in the past, been somewhat of a hassle. The lack of available ink and toner cartridge deposit centers was, and still is, very limited. Occasionally seen recycling incentive programs have done little to increase the overall number of print cartridges recycled every year, and consumers are constantly looking for easier ways to properly dispose of recyclable electronic waste, but they are often not to be found. Quickship.com may have come up with the solution.
[read more]
With over 700 million ink cartridges (650 million inkjet cartridges and 70 million toner cartridges) consumed each year in the United States alone, it is easy to see that the problem is a large one, especially when considering the small fraction of those cartridges that end up in proper recycling centers and remanufacturing plants as opposed to landfills. With only 5% of all ink and toner cartridges ending up being recycled, garbage dumps are now flooded, unnecessarily, with what is ultimately a reusable resource.
Other countries and continents suffer from a similar dilemma, with Canada using 60 million cartridges per year (59 million inkjet cartridges and 7 million toner cartridges) and Europe using almost 600 million (525 million inkjet and 49 million toner). Other heavily industrialized countries such as Japan and India also contribute to the worldwide numbers, and yet the number of recycled ink and toner cartridges sold across the entire planet on a yearly basis is a mere 100 million.
With a simple, free, and easy system for recycling ink and toner cartridges, Quickship.com empowers consumers with an effective way to reduce these numbers by mailing single cartridges, or hundreds at a time, at no cost, without ever leaving the office. Here's how it works:
Users sign on to Quickship's toner recycling page at http://www.quikshiptoner.com/catalog/recycling_form.php
There, they can fill in their shipping information and information on the cartridges they wish to ship.
Quickship will then mail you a pre-printed shipping label that can be used to ship used ink and toner cartridges to one of their warehouses, and the best part is, Quickship pays the shipping!
Ship the cartridges, and you're done.
After the consumer ships their cartridges, packages are received by Quickship, Inc. and sorted at one of their facilities and then sent to the proper cartridge recycling locations. Upon arrival, cartridges are again sorted based on condition of the cartridge and printer model. Examination for damages and wear is checked, and all broken or worn out parts are replaced with new components. After refilling the reworked cartridges with either ink or toner, they are extensively checked for errors or operational problems and, upon passing inspection, are sealed in new packages. They are now remanufactured cartridges!
Other than remanufacturing, cartridges can also be recycled by reworking the units' raw material waste and reworking it. By reusing critical parts, up to 3.5 pounds of solid waste per cartridge can be prevented from ever seeing a landfill and petroleum resources can be used for purposes other than reproducing parts that already exist, thus helping to reduce the overall impact of electronic waste on the planet.
Please visit Quickship.com. for more details.
Print Management and Waste Reduction
Recycling toner cartridges is just one way that consumers can use better print management to produce less waste and reduce the impact of business on the ecosystem. Recycling and using remanufactured products is only one part of economical print management; a process that involves utilizing environmentally friendly materials, less paper, print monitoring, and other elements to result in a more green, efficient, and cost effective print process. By utilizing technological advances such as automatic duplexing, PC faxing, and built in print management software, coupled with economical paper usage and good common sense, a significant portion of waste can be eliminated from the entire printing process.
[read more]
The process of print management begins with purchases. Users can select hardware and print materials that are often both economically and environmentally friendly to better convenience the company and ecosystem alike. Recycled paper is usually only slightly more expensive, and helps to reduce the effect of logging for materials. Though it is marginally more costly, recycled paper often comes with a recognizable water mark that many customers and consumers will appreciate, potentially boosting customer satisfaction.
Remanufactured print consumables are readily available online, and are often less expensive than brand new supplies! Remanufactured ink and toner cartridges simply reuse parts that have not worn out along with replacement elements for worn out or broken hardware. Each remanufactured cartridge is thoroughly tested and often comes with a guarantee, reducing buyer risk to almost nil.
Duplex printing is one of the simplest, most obvious ways to reduce paper usage by as much as half. In today's market, built in automatic duplexing has become a popular hardware addition or inclusion in many printer and multifunctional models all the way from industrial level copy machines down to home desktop units. When a built in duplexor is taken advantage of, two sided printing becomes automatic with almost no user intervention involved. Users operating printers without a built in automatic duplexor can take advantage of most models' manual duplex option in which print operators manually flip pages or stacks of work by hand, but this is not an effective solution for business level print volume and duplexing in an office setting should be done by machine. Printing duplex material not only saves paper, but also creates a professional, two sided look to work material, or can be used to create foldable pamphlets and flyers.
One of the easiest ways to reduce consumption, and therefore waste, is by utilizing the toner save mode found in most printers and multifunctional machines on the market. Unfortunately, when using an ink or toner save mode, printed material will sometimes come out looking faded, and should therefore not be used when producing presentation material, but simple drafts and unimportant prints can be printed with less ink with no consequence.
Print management software is often included with office level printers, and is almost always an essential part of color laser printing due to the immense cost of materials. With print management software, administrators can monitor print usage and restrict usage via printer lockouts, make adjustments, and even divide a network into departments allowing certain privileges (such as full color printing) to some, while denying others.
Lastly, there is a function built into almost any current fax machine or multifunctional center called PC faxing. When utilizing PC faxing, faxes are sent as they normally would be by way of modem through the fax line, but users can both receive and send fax material directly from and to their PCs. This is an excellent way to reduce paper usage, while still communicating with other businesses and individuals who rely on fax technology.
When print cartridge recycling is coupled with better print management and waste reduction, the footprint left by electronic print waste on the environment can be significantly decreased. Look into the many ways that your business can reduce waste, and cost, by being environmentally friendly, and take advantage of cartridge recycling programs from companies like Quickship.com.

Calendar epochs
- 3114 BC: According to the most widely accepted correlations between the Western calendar and the calendar systems of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, the mythical starting point of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar cycle occurs in this year.[4] The Long Count calendar, used and refined most notably by the Maya civilization but also attested in some other (earlier) Mesoamerican cultures, consisted of a series of interlocked cycles or periods of day-counts, which mapped out a linear sequence of days from a notional starting point. The system originated sometime in the Mid- to Late Preclassic period of Mesoamerican chronology, during the latter half of the 1st millennium BC.[5] The starting point of the most commonly used highest-order cycle[6]—the b'ak'tun-cycle consisting of thirteen b'ak'tuns of 144,000 days each—was projected back to an earlier, mythical date. This date is equivalent to 11 August 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar (or 6 September in the proleptic Julian calendar), using the correlation known as the "Goodman-Martínez-Thompson (GMT) correlation". The GMT-correlation is worked out with the Long Count starting date equivalent to the Julian Day Number (JDN) equal to 584283, and is accepted by most Mayanist scholars as providing the best fit with the ethnohistorical data.[7] Two succeeding dates, the 12th and 13 August (Gregorian) have also been supported, with the 13th (JDN = 584285, the "astronomical" or "Lounsbury" correlation) attracting significant support as according better with astronomical observational data.[8] Although it is still contended which of these three dates forms the actual starting base of the Long Count, the correlation to one of this triad of dates is definitively accepted by almost all contemporary Mayanists. All other earlier or later correlation proposals are now discounted.[7] The end of the thirteenth baktun was either on December 21 or 23 of 2012 (supposed end of the world).

The Prince Edward Island Real Estate market is a steady, stable environment. Century21 Northumberland Realty has a wide inventory of properties including PEI homes, cottages and PEI waterfront properties. PEI has been a hub of tourist activity for decades, priding itself on memorable scenery, challenging golf, tantalizing seafood and hospitable residents. Many visitors decide to invest in Prince Edward Island real estate as a means to enjoy PEI and watch their money grow safely through their property investments. Buying PEI land, or any type of PEI real estate, if you are not a resident presents no problem. The IRAC guidelines for PEI land acquisition are easy to understand and your Century21 PEI realtor can walk you through the process with ease.
The Prince Edward Island Real Estate market has grown at a steady pace over the past decade. Both sales and values have posted increases from year to year. We are however still quite inexpensive when compared to other eastern seaboard locales for similar properties. PEI waterfront has led the way in property value increase. Demand for PEI land & PEI waterfront is increasing, as is demand for all our water based properties. Century21 PEI has the pleasure of having some phenomenal, well developed and maintained sub divisions in our arsenal of PEI waterfront, oceanfront and riverfront properties that are a sound investment and will provide for years of enjoyment. Whatever your needs - we can help you find it on PEI!
Real estate in PEI consists of two separate markets. PEI homes are typically local acquisitions although a few find their way into the hands of individuals looking for PEI cottages and/or recreational properties. PEI homes can vary drastically in price. Many are available for the entry market with a price tag under $100k whereas, others will fetch close to or even exceed the million dollar mark, these being superbly finished, oceanfront PEI real estate. On average Summerside real estate and area prices offer solid value for purchasers. A growing market trend in the PEI real estate market is the retiree. Electing to spend their pension years in a smaller, safer environment, they also benefit from the sale of their home in other areas of the country and reinvesting in PEI real estate usually with money spare to invest in income supplementing financial instruments. The difference often represents living mortgage free and in some instances having extra monthly income available.
Century21 PEI Northumberland Realty is dedicated to being your only resource for PEI Real Estate. We provide valuable information about the local Prince Edward Island real estate scene through the "Island Real Estate Book" which focuses on the PEI real estate market and is exclusive to Century21 Northumberland Realty. Look for weekly postings of Open Houses happening in the Summerside area. We offer a quick link page to PEI related RSS feeds with reader download as well as posting to Facebook and Twitter.

Several weeks back, Adobe evangelist Greg Wilson and Flex guru Holly Schinsky demonstrated an early prototype of an application called Adobe AIR Launchpad that they were planning to release publicly. Launchpad, built using Adobe AIR, was designed to significantly reduce the time to development new AIR apps by generating useful code snippets common to many AIR applications.
For example, Launchpad allows you to set whether:
- the default application window is centered
- the default application window can be resized, minimized or maximized
- the application supports automatic updating
- the application detects network status changes
- the application uses a default preferences file
- the application uses native menus
In addition, you can add optional code snippets to your project to help get you started including sample code for:
- Drag and drop
- Local database
- Displaying PDFs
- Sockets
- Clipboard access
- Native process
- Detecting mass storage devices
Just a few weeks later, Greg announced on his blog that the application was available for download. Once you complete the application wizard and generate your code, a project file will be created that includes all the necessary files to build your customized AIR app. This project can then be imported into Flash Builder.
Note that LaunchPad currently does not support HTML/JavaScript. If you would like to see this application enhanced to support HTML/JavaScript, AIR for Android or anything else, please leave a note on Greg's blog post.
In addition, James Ward, enterprise evangelist at Adobe, recorded an excellent overview of Launchpad:
Related posts:
- James Ward's Blog – Adobe AIR Launchpad Intro Video
- Marcel Boucher's 'Mind the Gap' Adobe blog
- Michael Chaize's RIAGora blog
This is a very exciting concept and I look forward to seeing your feedback and seeing how Launchpad evolves over time. Hopefully it will help make many of you more efficient when you are starting the development of a new AIR application. Congratulations to Greg and Holly for building this out in record time!

... so read the US posters for Georges Lautner's largely forgotten ROAD TO SALINA (1970), which lingers, if at all, in the popular memory as an embarrassment made by an aging Rita Hayworth shortly before her retirement from the screen. I watched it tonight, for the first time uncut, and can't figure out why it has acquired such a low reputation.
It still awaits its DVD debut, so you can only see it via an old Charter Entertainment VHS or DVD-R, where it's badly cropped and less than smoothly dubbed, so that works against it... and yes, at 52, Rita Hayworth is no longer GILDA, but that's not the movie we're watching. Rita's actually fine, playing a delusional woman in middle age, sick with loneliness, who mistakes a young drifter for her son, missing for the past four years; Robert Walker Jr. (the son of one of Hitchcock's STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, fresh from his near catatonic appearance in the commune sequence of EASY RIDER) is very watchable as the boyish, spaced-out protagonist with Clint Eastwood's DIRTY HARRY haircut, who decides to take a break from his bad luck and be mothered for awhile... but he soon gets sistered too. Mimsy Farmer is electrifying as the sexy, teeth-baring, peroxide pixie whose free and faux-incestuous ways tempt Walker to stick around for awhile in a "hot box" in the middle of nowhere.
I would argue that ROAD TO SALINA is exactly what a Seventies film noir properly was and should have been: the depiction of a steamy Venus Fly Trap that you or I might easily wander into, and not be too quick to extract ourselves from -- not another second-hand gumshoe story set in a Hollywood B-movie version of the 1940s.

NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks Blogger Richard Hodges brings us a very important article today. He's asking the question nobody in Vancouver seems to want to answer. Why are there so many Italians walking into Rogers Arena these days and finding their names on the roster of the Vancouver Canucks? Frank Corrado, Ben Ferriero. Brandon DeFazio. Mike Santorelli. Even the retention of Roberto Luongo. Last year we had Steve Pinizzotto, and Aaron Volpatti as well. Viva Italia!
Sure are a lot of Italians on the Canucks these days!

ATLANTA (WAOK) — Saturday's show focused on the danger's of distracted driving. We discussed such distractions as passengers, daydreaming, pets, small children, talking on cell phones, television and movie watching, texting and most recently, manufacturer–installed infotainment systems. Missing from the conversation, and maybe one of the most important distractions, DUI, was not even discussed. That will certainly be a topic for an episode to come.
Not only did we examine local and state regulations that influence driver safety, we also discussed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) regulations that influence automotive design and build. The NHTSA is an agency of the executive branch of the U.S. government and part of the Department of Transportation. According to the agency, its main focus is to: "Save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle-related crashes."
We also examined the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) role in reducing motor vehicle crashes, injuries and property damage from crashes. The IIHS is a non-profit organization funded by auto insurance companies established in 1959. It works in conjunction with the NHTSA to evaluate vehicle safety and provide research findings to automobile manufacturers for improved vehicle safety.
Callers expressed concern about government intervention in the free market, as well as individual responsibility in governing ourselves. The prevailing tone of the show seemed to lean toward limited government intervention and more personal oversight.
After considering caller comments and my own research, I'm of the opinion that the vast majority of the regulations imposed by the federal government are beneficial to the safety of all who travel on U.S. highways and public streets. Before NHTSA, auto manufacturers were not required to install brake lights or seat belts. Imagine how many accidents and injuries that have been prevented from just those two minor additions since the invention of the automobile. Also, the IIHS acts as a litmus test for the NHTSA's recommendations, which should satisfy objections to big government and satisfy the role of the free market.

Slipknot Without Masks [Video]
Before the rise of the Internet, it was damn near impossible to stumble upon the true faces of the masked nine known as Slipknot. However, as Stone Sour reunited in 2002, the identities of vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root became public for all to see. Finally, with the release of 'Voliminal: Inside the Nine' on DVD in 2006, the faces of the nine were officially revealed.
Although many fans have seen clear photos and video of Slipknot unmasked, it's still tough to get a good image of members such as Craig Jones and Chris Fehn. Therefore, we present you with the best unmasked Slipknot pics we could find, including ones of the late Paul Gray and former drummer Joey Jordison.
Enjoy our compilation of Slipknot Without Masks in the video above!

Difference between revisions of "ASUS Eee PC 1025c"
|Line 3:
|Line 3:
Revision as of 20:32, 1 July 2013
The BIOS doesn't seem to support EFI boot on an ArchISO USB stick. Install with a BIOS bootloader unless you know what you're doing.
You have to change the video driver. If the HDMI cable is plugged in on boot it is enabled automatically. If it is plugged in after boot you can use xrandr to enable the second monitor:
# xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto
You need to know the number of your sound card and the the number of HDMI device:
aplay -l
**** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (PLAYBACK) **** Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0
In /usr/shared/alsa/alsa.conf search the lines
default.pcm.card 0 default.pcm.device 0
If you change the numbers to your card and device (in my case card is 0 and device is 3) and reboot the audio output switches to HDMI.
User specific
do this and reboot
The audio device can also be configured with /etc/asound.conf So you can create a script that links asound.conf to a configuration depending on the hdmi cable plugged in or not: (for some reason my HDMI device is listed as DVI)
#! /bin/bash hdmi_status="$(cat /sys/class/drm/card0-DVI-D-1/status)" ln -f "/etc/alsa/hdmi_$hdmi_status" /etc/alsa/asound.conf alsactl restore
Configuration files:
pcm.!default { type hw card 0 device 3 }
pcm.!default { type hw card 0 device 0 }
Create a symbolic link to /etc/asound.conf
ln -s /etc/alsa/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf
If the user is allowed to run the hdmi_switch.sh script and is also allowed to change files in /etc/alsa folder you can bind that script to a key :D If you also want to change to monitor read this.
Screen Brightness
Setting brightness in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ with the scripts for acpid change the values of the files brightness and actual_brightness but do not have any effect on current screen brightness.
Set the following as kernel parameters in your bootloader
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
To make this permant see here
FN Keys
Now there is a folder eeepc-wmi in /sys/class/backlight and the scripts need to be updated
#!/bin/sh bl_device=/sys/class/backlight/eeepc-wmi/brightness echo $(($(cat $bl_device)+1)) >$bl_device
#!/bin/sh bl_device=/sys/class/backlight/eeepc-wmi/brightness echo $(($(cat $bl_device)-1)) >$bl_device
The scripts change the screen brightness everytime I run them. Unfortunately the acpi events for brightnessup and brightnessdown are not available anymore although the brightnessup key sets brightness to maximum and the brightnessdown key sets the brightness to max_brightness-1 :( (do not now where this happens) --> this may help

We finally got some new ink for the printer on the weekend. When we first got it I went a bit printer crazy, and printed extra cute pics I found on the net and loads of photos of Ruby. This time I will be a bit better with how much I print. So Ruby is at that age that she wants to be walking, and I love little shoes and have bought her a few pairs as who cant resist little shoes when you have a baby? They are all very nice but when your little one starts walking they shouldn't wear shoes as it affects how they walk and don't learn to use all the right muscles in their little feet (can you tell I used to work with babies). So after making a little pair a short time ago here, I thought I should make some more. They are perfect as they protect their feet whilst out but also let their feet move how they are meant to. So I printed out the pattern and got sewing. I will just say, Ruby cant walk yet she wants to, she REALLY wants to, lets just say we have sore backs.
I used some of my material I bought on the weekend and made a pair of Mary Jane shoes from a tutorial I found here. It has different sizes for different ages which is great. I made the biggest size, they are a tad bit big but as they are more for summer I think they will fit fine in a month.
I changed the pattern slightly by using a soft fake suede for the sole. Also I put a little bit of quilting padding between they lining and the sole for a little extra comfort.
Watch out she is ready to walk, too cute.
Ahhh yes as all good children do, take their shoes off.
And a quick bit of crochet for the morning, a new coaster for my cup of tea. I think more will be made so I have a set. I love to crochet but I am not sure if I have the patience to make a blanket.
What another lovely day, hope you all enjoy it.

PowerShell a new command-line/scripting environment from Microsoft, that developers to administrators alike can use to automate tasks. PowerShell is a command line utility in a GUI world and that tends to frightened many. If you're still hesitant to dive into PowerShell, you're not alone. But rest assured a lot of the examples we will go over are easy and practical. We will start out with the PowerShell basics then dive deeper into scripting out objects and finally move into advance scripts.

Mangrove restoration saved our lives and our economy, says villager in Northern Samar, PhilippinesNov 13, 2013
New York--In the wake of the strongest tropical storm on historical record, one that has devastated vast areas of the Philippines, a grassroots initiative that is dedicated to mangrove restoration is showing the importance of healthy ecosystems and environmental integrity to disaster risk reduction.
Trowel Development Foundation is a community-based organization in Northern Samar. Although it was not the region worst hit by Typhoon Haiyan, it was nonetheless gravely affected. Over the last decade, the initiative has reforested the degraded mangrove ecosystem as way of restoring marine life and strengthening local food security.
Tree planting along the coast was also intended to establish a natural buffer against natural disasters, a way of protecting the in-land fish and crab farms that are central to the local economy from storm surges.
In the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, the return on community investment in environmental integrity is proving to be prophetically high.
According to email correspondence with the organization today, damage to the community project sites were minimal. Leonardo Rosario, Executive Director of Trowel Development Foundation, attributes the resilience of local villages to restored ecosystem functioning.
"Had we not protected the mangrove trees against illegal cutting and had we not planted the areas surrounding the fish farms," writes Rosario, "the super typhoon would have destroyed everything that the poor fisherfolk established."
The grassroots initiative was awarded the UNDP Equator Prize in 2010 for its mangrove reforestation work and its efforts to adapt the local practice of crab farming to reduce the effect of climate shocks and environmental disasters.
Trowel works with local villages to promote tie-crab farming, a crab fattening technique which involves tying individual crabs to a bamboo pole with an attached buoy. When farm flooding occurs – a regular occurrence which motivated replanting of the mangroves as a buffer – the crabs are securely fastened to the poles and do not wash out to sea. In the event that the poles break during floods, the crabs can be recovered, as the buoys are easily visible from above the floodwater. With this approach, the organization has doubled the average income of local fishing households.
"The tie crabs were not affected," writes Rosario, "Even with strong waves coming, which were slowed by the mangrove forest, the fattening crabs remained intact in the tie-crab farms. They burrowed into the mud."
Rosario is categorical in his assertion that planting trees saved lives and spared devastation of the local economy.
"The [situation] in Tacloban…was aggravated because the area is located near the open seas and there is no buffer in terms of mangrove trees that separate the sea from the land," he writes. "The super typhoon hit the land with its strongest might and high speed because there is no mangrove forest that should have slowed it down."
Healthy, properly-functioning ecosystems provide a range of services that are essential to human health, security, and wellbeing. The Trowel experience speaks volumes to the value of investing in natural capital, and the public service imperative of doing so. Not only does it make good environmental sense, it makes good economic sense. In this instance, mangrove reforestation not only saved lives, it buffered against damage to local infrastructure and prevented potentially sizable losses to the local economy. Governments looking at their public expenditures should take note – environmental restoration is a development and security issue of the highest order.
Rosario closed his message by saying, "I hope the government now realizes the importance of mangrove forests in protecting people and livelihoods in coastal areas."

In earlier times, houseboats were thought of as floating RV's. But today's luxury houseboats are more like beach houses or mega-yachts. The familiar, RV-style propane stove is still a good choice for a small, basic galley. However, many houseboat owners want a large, household range with all the bells and whistles.
Gourmet home cooks want their houseboat galley to have the same, top-of-the-line stoves they have in the kitchen. We are also seeing more restaurant-style, professional stoves in some custom-built boats. Thoroughbred President Shawn Heinen in Albany, Ky., reports that several customers have opted for 36-inch, Italian built, gourmet gas stoves. "They work well, cost a lot, but meet customer needs," said Heinen.
To see what's new and exciting in galley stoves, we looked at prestige stove maker Viking (www.VikingRange.com), household appliance favorite GE and custom marine stove maker Andrew Moore of Navigator Stove Works in Eastbound, Wash. Specializing in the traditional, salty look and function of serious sea stoves, he has done several custom installations for houseboaters in the Pacific Northwest.
Viking makes stoves in 30-, 36- and 48-inch widths and also offers gas cook-tops 24 inches and over for those who prefer stove-top gas burners plus, perhaps, one or two electric, self-cleaning wall ovens. Endless options are available including a wide choice of colors. Also offered is an electric induction range with convection oven for just over $6,000.
The mammoth, 48-inch-wide Viking Custom Sealed Burner range can serve your biggest onboard parties. It has two ovens and a choice of burner configurations with or without a grill or griddle insert. Although any range has to be securely anchored in a boat, both freestanding and slide-in ranges are available to give your galley designer more options.
Gas and electric GE stoves are found in home improvement stores. To see the full line, which is enormous, go to www.geappliances.com. The company makes electric, gas, induction and dual-fuel ranges (gas cook-top with electric oven). A choice of finishes is available to match GE's full line of refrigerators and other appliances.
Dickinson Marine (www.dickinsonmarine.com) is also another manufacturer worth taking a closer look at.
Shopping For The Ultimate Stove
* Warming drawers have been around since great-grandmother's time. They are still found on many gas and electric ranges.
* Most household gas ranges have some electrical components starting with a clock. Know what features require power from your ship's batteries, a generator or dock power. Know too what features can work without electricity. When power is off, some gas burners with electronic ignition can be lit manually, but some cannot. When choosing an electric stove, make sure the houseboat's wiring, the generator and dockside hookups can handle the load.
* The more electronic features, the most power the stove requires even when it's not in use. Programmable features require a steady diet of electricity.
* When planning a custom houseboat or doing a major galley renovation, choose the stove early in the design process. Wiring, ducting and gas plumbing are involved. The cabinet designer needs to know if the stove is free standing, slide-in or drop-in. Your marine architect needs to position and secure heavy appliances.
* Sometimes individual burners are too small for large pots. Instead opt for a "hob" style stove-top with a single grate. This option is found on many gas stoves including small RV stoves. Pots can be arranged anywhere on the hob.
* Self-cleaning ovens are nice to have, but the cleaning cycle takes a lot of gas or electricity.
* In a convection oven, hot air is circulated by a fan for more even baking and browning. A convection gas oven requires electricity as well as propane.
About Microwave Convection Ovens
In addition to a galley stove, a microwave oven is almost a must these days. It's even better if it doubles as a convection (heating) oven that can both nuke and bake. Better still, get one with overboard exhaust plus a stove hood. (Models that have a recirculating filter are easier to install, but are less effective in removing cooking odors and steam.)
Many cooks are still confused about these combination microwaves. It's easy to use them in microwave mode or baking mode. The confusion comes in when recipes tell you to microwave for so-many minutes, with frequent venting and turning, then bake to finish the dish. Our advice: use it as a microwave or use it as a convection oven. Forget complicated combination recipes. Used only in microwave mode, the oven is easy to clean. When heat is introduced, spills and stains bake on and create the same cleaning problems found in any conventional oven.
What Is Induction Cooking?
Both radiant and induction stove-tops have the same smooth, ceramic look that many cooks prefer. However, all ceramic cook-tops aren't the same. Some radiate heat just as electric burners always have. In induction cooking, heat is created in the pot, not in the "burner" itself. Only ferrous metal (stainless steel, iron) pots can be used with this energy, which is lightning fast. It's a real plus for cooks who like iron skillets, steel woks and the shiny convenience of stainless steel. It's also more like cooking with gas because the heat is instantly on, instantly off. Induction cooking is available in an entire cook-top or as a single hot plate.

WASHINGTON — Adm. Bill McRaven said Tuesday that special operations forces in Afghanistan are preparing for a possible expanded role as overall U.S. forces begin to draw down after a decade of war.
McRaven, the special operations commander who led last year's Navy SEAL raid against Osama bin Laden, confirmed that special operations forces would be the last to leave under the Obama administration's current plan, and that the Pentagon is considering handing more of the Afghan war responsibility over to a senior special operations officer as part of that evolution.
McRaven said special operations would combine targeting and training operations this summer to prepare for a smaller overall U.S. presence, but he stressed that no final decisions had been made.
"I have no doubt that special operations will be the last to leave Afghanistan," McRaven told a Washington audience, though he said he did not expect their numbers to rise.
"As far as anything beyond that, we're exploring a lot of options," he said.
The White House is considering handing the entire Afghan campaign back to special operations forces — an evolution expected to stretch well past the drawdown of most conventional NATO troops in 2014, according to multiple officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the still-evolving plans.
Senior administration officials have described turning the mission over to special operations forces as a possible way to provide security with fewer U.S. troops, because of their ability to work in smaller numbers and with local forces on such missions as night raids or patrolling villages. Administration officials believe that smaller presence will be less offensive to the Afghans.
Afghan participation in the controversial night raids against insurgents has not stopped Afghan president Hamid Karzai from criticizing them and blaming the U.S. for unnecessary civilian casualties, but U.S. officials believe his criticism will be more muted as his forces take on a greater role.
The administration's emphasis on partnering with Afghan forces is driving McRaven's streamlining of special operations in Afghanistan, blending the village security operations with the elite Joint Special Operations Command's terrorist-hunting cell based at Bagram, which is working on degrading the Taliban militant network with focused raids.
"We feel like we have to become not only more effective but more efficient," McRaven said.
Under the current system, if the special operations terrorist hunters have five potential insurgents to hit in a given area, they will likely choose to strike a high-value target, instead of spending their time hunting lower level insurgents menacing a local village that fellow U.S. Army Green Berets are trying to secure, according to a U.S. military official.
With one commander in charge of all special operations, he could decide to clear out those lower level insurgents to secure the village, leaving the high value target for another night.
During McRaven's remarks at a Washington area hotel, there was an outburst from a retired special operations general who was angry at media coverage of special operations missions, such last year's Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, and the recent SEAL rescue of two western hostages in Somalia.
"Get the hell out of the media," retired Lt. Gen. James Vaught shouted at McRaven.
McRaven calmly responded that avoiding media coverage was impossible in the 24-hour news cycle, and that while he objected to revealing sensitive tactics, the media could be useful, especially when reporting operations gone wrong.
"Having those failures exposed in the media helps us do a better job," McRaven said. "So sometimes the spotlight on us makes us better."
The admiral said he was working hard to give his 66,000-person force more predictability on when and where they would be deployed — the key request he heard from families and troops, to help them cope with the unrelenting special-operations deployments.
He also stressed that he was working to break down the stigma of seeking help to deal with combat stress.
"If you have been engaged in this war for any length of time, you are fundamentally changed," from the emotional effects of combat, he said. But special operators' typically don't seek help for emotional problems, he said.
"I encourage them to come in. We're not going to pull their security clearances," McRaven said. "We're going to take care of them."

Anybody who has spent more than a minute sweating over their online social networks needs an answer to this question. In fact when I began thinking about it I came across some pretty sad literature of young people shamed by their lack of Facebook friends.
Friends are important but I was thinking more about professional friends, colleagues, contacts. And asking myself: Is the emphasis on growing our network of connections blinding us to the value that people can bring to our careers?
If you are in a profession that requires distribution (journalism, marketing, sales) then the more contacts the merrier. When I look at my 800+ LinkedIn connections though, I start to feel uneasy. What is this thing called connections? The best definition I can come up with is contingency list - in case they might be useful.
A couple of years back I gave up my smartphone so that I could become more focused. This year I want to focus my list of connections down to those that matter, the ones I can help and who can help me, people who are good at paying forward and who have some wisdom to impart.
I got talking about these issues last week with Jason Womack who provides companies and individuals with advice on productivity improvement and is the author of Your Best Just Got Better.
Jason contends that, yes you really do need friends and they really should be influencers, so some of the concepts of online social media are useful for how we see our broader professional circle. But they should be your personal influencers. And we need to be quite clear about their role. Your social network is there to help you to make good decisions.
To make good decisions you always need advice, and you need people whom you trust if they are going to influence your decisions. Looked at this way your personal social network is quite small.
Five is the most you need for any one issue you are trying to address, says Jason. Three is better.
Of course that is not going to win you a whole lot of peer kudos. Jason's contention though is that if we are to improve the way we do things it's the people you invite to help you make key decisions who really matter. The rest are a combination of casual friends, passing contacts and, let's face it, sales lists.
I once interviewed Phil McKinney, former HP personal systems CTO on the same subject. Phil uses 40 as his magic number. That is 40 people that he has regular contact with, people who mentor him and people whom he mentors.
Phil is a high achiever, so I won't argue. Yet I find 40 a ton of people. In fact if I am truly honest, five seems to me to be about the limit and I'm still searching for number 3.

Jill Fehrenbacher
I am thankful for my wonderful family, which will be increasing in size any day now!

Thank you to New York City for being such an amazing place to live, and to New Yorkers for being such a supportive and vibrant community. You all deserve a fabulously warm and festive Thanksgiving this year!
Julie Seguss
I am thankful for my 3-month-old son Luca who never fails to make me smile.
Beth Shea
I get more grateful with every passing year as I realize more and more that even the most basic factors in my life truly are precious gifts. I am most thankful for my family, and for my daughter and son who constantly show me the meaning of unconditional love and whose zest for life is gloriously infectious. Additionally, I feel so blessed to have grown-up to be what I always wanted to be: a writer. And I can't fail to mention my gratitude for our espresso machine, because without it I'd be asleep right now.
Jennifer Chait
I'm most thankful for my wonderful son Cedar who teaches me new things all the time and is so much fun to hang out with – plus he always lets me have a turn playing video games. I'm very thankful to have a job I love that allows me to work with so many excellent writers and brilliant green-minded individuals. I'm also always thankful for my family, pals, the fact that I get to live in a perfect rainy gray city and of course coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
Alyssa Alimurung
I am thankful for my supportive close-knit family, (photo taken circa 1989 with my older siblings!), my boyfriend and good friends who are definitely for keeps, and my two troublemaking cuddly cats. I'm super grateful to work at Inhabitat with its wicked smart team of editors and writers. I also have to give thanks to the simple things: Google calendar, crowd-funding sites, WhatsApp, chunky knit sweaters, ethical companies and brunch.
Desmond Williams
We're thankful for life and love and family, friends and fun. But in light of recent events we are most thankful for the ability to help others during this time of need in NYC.
Michelle Lloyd
I'm thankful for all of the amazing people in my life who help me make each day beautiful. I feel extremely blessed to have met and worked with so many wonderful, inspiring people this year. I am especially thankful for my children who have taught me so much and continue to do so. And I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to work from home so I can watch them grow.
Marni Fogelson-Teel
I am thankful for my children, husband, family, dog, and friends who have supported me during some recent health struggles. My children especially have taught me the value of living in the moment, the restorative power of play, and unconditional love! I am also grateful for the opportunity to share recipes and eco-friendly tips and insights with our amazing community of Inhabitots readers. Healthy and happy Thanksgiving to all!
Jennie Lyon
I am grateful for my beautiful family! The photo is of me and my son Eben on our fall family trip to Montana, we had just finished a long day of hiking together.


text: Well I hate to even mention encouraging a sleeping baby to nurse to a tired mom because of course everyone figures it is awesome for a baby to sleep such long stretches. But what works fine sleepwise for a formula fed baby or an older breastfed baby can sometimes cause issues with a younger breastfed baby. I figure it can't hurt to try it, esp. as you were getting up anyway to pump.
