ASHEVILLE — The importance of having an education and proper training in order to be successful in life was stressed to students in East Henderson High's Junior Achievement Job Shadow Program Tuesday as they explored Asheville Regional Airport.
East Henderson HS Junior Achievement
"If you don't have a high school diploma or GED, you probably will not go far," Marty Kretchman, general manager for Landmark Aviation fixed base operations, told the teens during a presentation.
Kretchman, 30, first earned his associate's degree, then a bachelor's degree in business management from the University of Phoenix through its online-degree program.
Kretchman has worked at Landmark Aviation for two years managing the company, which provides general aviation services and coordinates arrivals, departures, fueling and towing for aircraft, among other assistance to aviators.
"Junior Achievement is a great program for kids," he said. "I wish they had it in my high school."
The Junior Achievement program focuses on education, economic and youth development. While at the airport, 33 students had the opportunity to ask officials and employees about their experiences in the aviation industry.
"If you find something you're passionate about, you can find a way to make a living at it," Kretchman said.
His began his aviation career in Florida by washing planes, then took flying lessons and earned a commercial pilot's license to earn money as a charter plane co-pilot. After two years, Kretchman was hired as a sales manager at an aviation service company, where he was promoted to general manager. He eventually made his way to Landmark Aviation at the Asheville airport.
"People will give you opportunities if you are enthusiastic and willing to put forth the effort," Kretchman said.
Rene Minot, 18, said she understands the importance of education.
"You have to make sure you finish high school to be successful," she said. "You have to find something you are passionate about so you can do something you want to do."
The Junior Achievement Program gives students a sense of what they can do out in the world, said Julie Vidotto, director of the program's WNC region. "They are getting a broad spectrum of what's out there."
Students also toured WNC Aviation flight school and Belle Aircraft Maintenance.
Mike Everhart, director of maintenance, became interested in aviation while serving in the U.S. Navy.
"If we didn't enjoy doing this, we wouldn't be in the field," Everhart said as he showed students several small planes in the hanger.
Matt Cody, 18, who has never flown in a plane or been to an airport, said Junior Achievement can expand people's interest.
"It was cool," Cody said after hearing Everhart's presentation on careers in the aviation mechanic field. "Maybe one day I will be in aviation."

CES 2010 Cisco plans to begin field trials for a consumer version of its video calling products this spring, joining Skype and Polycom in an emerging battle to turn living room TV sets into Jetsons phones.
The networking equipment giant said Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that the home videoconferencing system will use a consumer's existing HDTV and broadband connection to provide a "unique natural video communication experience from the comfort of a living room."
Cisco will begin conducting field tests this spring, with broadband service provider Verizon as its first partner. Field tests will also be done in France later in 2010, with France Telecom as Cisco's early partner.
"Home telepresence will make a difference in consumers' lives by allowing them to enjoy natural video communications with family and friends wherever they are located," said Marthin DeBeer, general manager of Cisco's Emerging Technologies group in a statement. "To ensure that early home telepresence users will have plenty of friends and family to communicate with, in addition to calling other home telepresence users, they will be able to place calls to PCs using a webcam and video chat service."
Skype, meanwhile, also announced Wednesday its own plans to get into the living room video calling market by inking deals with LG and Panasonic to embed its video chat client into new television by the middle of 2010.
Earlier this week, IBM said it teamed with Polycom to demonstrate a home video calling system at CES too. Polycom co-founder and CTO Jeff Rodman told El Reg that an actual consumer product using the technology has not been announced, but that the showing demonstrates a direction the company will take going forward. ®

Pippali - Long Pepper Piper longum
Also known as 'long pepper', pippali is an aromatic small climber that thrives in the shade and humidity of the forests of India.
The catkin-like fruits are used in Ayurvedic living a bit like black pepper, to warm and invigorate.
With each low-growing plant producing just a few fruits at a time they are a real labour of love to collect. But it's worth it as they fetch a high price and deliver a pungency so hot that they would warm the coldest of colds.
It is an essential ingredient in the famous Ayurvedic formula, Trikatu, the Three Spices mixture, blended with ginger and black pepper.

OOTD // Au Revoir Paris
This look is the last outfit I shot during my citytrip to Paris. I wore a striped maxi dress by Topshop, an item that became an instant summer favorite after I bought it. I'm kind of sad I'll probably have to wait a whole year to be able to wear it again.
I guess it's officially time to say goodbye to summer and transition into fall. I don't know about you, but I find it sometimes hard to choose what kind of things to wear.. Should I wear a jumper today, or is it still too warm? Do I need to wear tights or not? It's so much easier to layer things in summer, because everything is so lightweight. As you can see, I layered my maxi dress with a sleeveless denim jacket and a white blazer. I guess I'll have to clean out my closet soon and see what summer items need to be stored.
Anyway, back to Paris! On this day we visited The Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Monmarte. It was a lovely day, we had crêpes with Nutella for lunch (best lunch ever) , and walked around the beautiful streets of Paris. Before dinner we visited a supermarket and bought some bread, wine and other snacks. We sat down near the Seine and watched the sun go down as we had a bit of a rest after so much walking around that day.
OOTD // Pont Des Arts
Today's outfit is probably something I won't be wearing anytime soon again, since fall is knocking on our door. But I still wanted to share it, since it was shot on a sunny day on the beautiful Pont Des Arts bridge in Paris.
A black highwaisted maxi skirt, printed top, a denim sleeveless jacket and sneakers. Hair in a bun and some cool aviator sunglasses, sometimes I just love to keep it simple. Curious?
Paris Citytrip #2
OOTD // The Blues In Paris
Here's my first look from Paris! Wearing a co-ord set by Zara, in a beautiful navy color. This set is made of a great comfy and light material, so ideal for a long day of walking around Paris. It was such a great trip, it's really fun to go through all the pictures I took while I was there. I was happy to shoot a few outfits there, since it's such a beautiful city, even this little fountain in the middle of a shopping street was nice. A real fashionblogger would probably wear a pair of killerheels with this outfit..But I left mine at the hotel since my feet were sore and had some blisters, I just wore my Birkenstocks.
Paris Citytrip #1
I visited Paris last week with my boyfriend. A five day trip, filled with fashion, food, art and one beautiful city. We drove there on Monday morning and returned Friday evening. Short, but very sweet! My feet still hurt thinking back on all the walking we did there, since our hotel was a little further away from a metro station than we thought. Take a look at some of the pictures I took!
Bonjour! I'm so excited :) I'm spending a few days in Paris with my boyfriend this week, sooo happy. We're driving up there from Tilburg, the Netherlands, and spending a few days there to relax, do some sightseeing, eat wonderfully tasty food (macarons! croissants!) do some shopping and mostly relax.
Have you ever been to Paris? If you have any tips or written a blogpost about, drop the links and tips in the comments, I would to hear and read about your experiences!

During the week following the U.S. Go Congress, Takemiya Masaki 9p from the Nihon Ki-in and Chihiro Chujo 1p from the Kansai Ki-in each taught three times at the Seattle Go Center. Ms. Chujo was an enthusiastic go teacher, and an eager student of the English language. Her English vocabulary increased notably during her week-long visit. In his first lecture, Takemiya gave commentary on two of his games; one from the beginning of his career in 1969 and one with his friend and competitor Cho Chikun from 1988. Takemiya's second lecture was for kyu players, and stressed that "those who play where they want lose more games but get stronger faster". He admitted that sometimes there is only one move on the board, and showed an example of this situation, but he reassured the audience of 22 players that usually there are options to try out. Both Chujo and Takemiya played simultaneous games on Tuesday, Aug. 14, the busiest day of the week at the Go Center. Two of Takemiya's games with strong players were recorded and broadcast on KGS, and then shown in the kitchen with a digital projector. At one point there was a roar from the kitchen when the internet connection was temporarily lost, puzzling the players in the main room who did not know what had happened. The games are posted in the news section of the Go Center website, along with the two games Mr. Takemiya presented in his lecture.
There was also time for sight-seeing, and for good seafood dinners. Miss Chujo went for a canoe ride, while Mr. Takemiya had a fine round of golf, with three birdies, and also went tango dancing after one of his lectures.

My most recent blog post on drawing paths in Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop (here) was an interesting exercise for me. In the process of writing the drawing routines, I made several mistakes, found that things I assumed to be true were, in fact, false.
I've solved the various problems and have created a workaround or two. I thought it might be useful for other CS Extension developers if I documented the problems and solutions. This way, you can learn from my mistakes. I make lots of mistakes, so it would be nice if we could get some use out of them.
In this article, I'll show solutions for some of the problems I left unresolved in the previous post. For the most part, they weren't critical to the point of the post, but it's nice to tie up the loose ends. I've posted an updated version of the project here (this contains all of the code changes discussed in this post):
Update: This project is now available via Import>Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder>Remote Creative Suite SDK examples.
My Point of View
First, let me admit to a bias: In my opinion, everything an application can do should be scriptable. Everything. I think InDesign has the best scripting support of the three applications, because its coverage is the most complete. This isn't to say that it's perfect, just that it's a lot closer to my ideal. This means that I tend to approach the other applications with an InDesign bias.
Next, I'm coming to CS Extensions from the world of ExtendScript. My instinct is to develop and debug using the ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK), then port to ActionScript. I think that this approach is probably shared by quite a few CS Extension developers.

Motorsports Careers - How To Get A Racing Job
Race City Resumes Offers Racers Professional Assistance
Every profession has its pinnacle, its top of the heap, cream of the crop, so to speak. Actors have their Broadway and Hollywood, country entertainers have Nashville, stock brokers have Wall Street, and racers have NASCAR. Let's face it, if you want to work where it will matter the most and make a more-than-decent living, you have to work in the upper echelon of racing. For stock cars, that is within NASCAR's top three series.
In any discipline, some desire to climb the ladder and work their way to the top, while others are content staying at home to work in familiar surroundings. But if you are the type who would like to try working in big-league racing, there is a place you can go for valuable assistance.
Bob Hubner of Race City Resumes is a racer himself, having been a part of professional stock car racing since 1993. He started helping racers with placement in race teams while still working in the engine departments of top NASCAR teams.
When he was laid off due to a team dissolving in 1999, he decided it would be a good time to expand his services. So he started a business to help existing race personnel, as well as newcomers, connect with race teams who were in need of qualified personnel. It has all worked out better than he could have imagined.
We spoke with Bob about what he does and how an interested person can somehow connect with a professional race team. The following are the results of our discussion.
"All kinds of different jobs are needed in professional racing. From the very visible crew chiefs and drivers to the support persons who not only wrench on the cars, but also the truck drivers, media specialists, accountants, secretaries, painters, you name it," says Bob.
It takes a lot of personnel to operate these large racing businesses, and some larger teams employ hundreds of workers. Finding employment with one of these teams is all about what you are interested in and have experience doing. Even if your experience level is low for some positions, employers have been known to take on ambitious applicants and train them. Dedication seems to be a big plus. You've got to really want to be in this circus.
The fact is that most jobs in racing involve a lot of hard work, long hours, and a high level of dedication to the team. It can be very difficult for a family man or woman who must be on the road 40-plus weeks of the year.
And don't be fooled-if you don't have the proper experience, you may not be wanted. Few teams have the time to train people for skilled jobs. They are interested in hiring those who have done the job before and are at, or very near, the top of the game in whatever it is the job calls for.
The positions available in the race shop are many and varied. They can be associated with welding, race car mechanics, being the car chief in charge of setting up the car, mechanical and aero engineering, paint and body, or being the manager of each department. All positions require you to be familiar with race cars and the processes involved with them. You have to want to build a career in racing, knowing the ups and downs.
The first thing every applicant needs is a good, strong resume. This document is the first thing a prospective employer will look at. It needs to tell your story in a concise but complete way and be no longer than one page.
This is the item that will either catch a team's eye or not. Bob does a great job of screening the resume before a team ever sees it. That way, both Bob and the employer can gauge how the person will fit in with the position. If you have not developed a resume, Bob can help with that, too.
Once your resume has been reviewed by Bob, it goes into his database for reference when teams call to announce an opening. Depending on your job classification and experience level, Bob will immediately mentally place you in a particular category. If there are openings he knows about, the process can move quickly. If no positions are open, there will be a waiting period.
Bob has clients who are presently in, or have worked in, professional racing. These are people who, for whatever reason, may need to make a change or have been forced to seek other employment due to a team closing down. These highly qualified workers know that Bob has a great relationship with the team owners and managers and can facilitate a smooth transition.
RCR has also represented high-profile persons who need to have a middle man negotiate contracts and terms of employment as well as provide confidential services when surveying the overall employment situation. Sometimes it is just time to make a change with no one at fault. Some teams are better suited for some peoples' personalities than others. A good match up can go a long way toward a team's success, so moves are often encouraging for both parties.
Bob tells us that most of the time teams need well-qualified persons to fill a position. But that doesn't mean a person who is deadly serious about working in this sport cannot start at the bottom "sweeping floors" to begin learning the various skills needed to work his or her way up.
If you talk to some of the better-known personalities who have been crew chiefs for championship drivers and winning teams, they probably started as a helper around the shop and learned their trade a step at a time. But there are many more positions available, at all levels in professional racing. If it is the glamour and spotlights you are looking for, there could be some of that too. For the majority, it is the love for the sport of racing that attracts them to work at the top level. Be prepared to work strange hours and weekends in the shop and at the races.
The rewards come in the satisfaction of knowing you can make a difference in how the team performs and, admittedly, in earning a higher level of income in most cases. Most of these people think the tradeoff is worth it.
It is probably best if you live close to this racing mecca. If you are highly skilled, you might be hired before moving, but most of the people I know who went to work for professional stock car teams moved to be within driving distance of the shop. It only makes sense. And, before you pack that station wagon and trek off to Race City USA (the nickname for Mooresville, North Carolina), make darn sure this is what you want.
Just in my area around Central Florida, I know of a good many persons who have made that move and it all worked out. Here are a few examples. Robbie Loomis lived in Lake Mary, Florida, and made his way to Petty Enterprises in the late '80s to end up as a crew chief for Richard and Kyle during the '90s before moving to Hendrick to lead the Jeff Gordon team. He is now back with Petty as the executive vice president of racing operations.
Tony Gibson, a recent crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr., grew up in South Daytona, Florida, and worked his way up in the sport through short-track and ARCA racing and is now a valuable member of the DEI organization.
More recent transplants are Kyle Busch's crew chief for the past few years at Hendrick, Alan Gustafson, who grew up in Ormond Beach, Florida, my hometown. Then there is Brian Wheeler, a local Late Model crew chief who moved to Mooresville several years ago and is now a master fabricator for Evernham Motorsports.
Gordon Gibbs, a chassis specialist and car chief, grew up in Port Orange, Florida, and moved to Mooresville some years ago and now works for Hendrick Motorsports, helping to get Kyle Busch going in the early years of his career.
Other hot spots for talent are the Northeast and the Modified divisions, where the competition director for Bill Davis Racing, Tommy Baldwin hails from. And then there is the Midwest, where so much racing goes on. A lot of talent has been born there. Some racers even trek from as far away as California to become members of professional racing teams in North Carolina.
Bob has relationships with all of the top teams, including all of the Nextel Cup, Busch, Craftsman Truck, Hooters Pro Cup, and ARCA teams. Because he has this close relationship and the trust of the owners and managers, he can influence your selection if you are the right candidate for the job.
Bob even founded area softball and flag football leagues for race team members. This further enhances his presence in and among the teams. By being a respected member of this community, he has gained the trust and confidence of the people you need to know.
All positions are available from time to time, but it depends on a team's immediate needs. Positions may be created where none existed before, new teams come along, and people leave and create a void that must be filled.
Bob says, "Right now, with the COT coming along for full-time competition in 2008, the teams need people who are experienced in setting up the cars. Whereas over the past 10 years most of the focus has been on aerodynamics, with the fixed body shape of the COT, more attention is now being brought to the mechanical grip issues. Handling and setup balance is now where the focus has gone. Mechanical engineers are needed more than aero engineers."
If you have had serious thoughts about working for a professional team, be sure to do an honest evaluation to determine if it is right for you. Contact RCR and submit your resume. You'll be provided an honest evaluation as to your likelihood of being hired by a team.
If you are a fan and have no previous experience with a racing team, it's going to be hard, if not impossible. But magic does happen if the desire is strong enough. Bob tells me he tries to determine the ambition of the applicant as well as the skill level. Persistence and drive can make up for a lot of inexperience.
Employers can teach skills, but they know they cannot make a person passionate about their profession. And passion is what racing is all about. If you have it, go for it. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. It's all up to you. Good luck, and good hunting.

The 2014 Athens International Film + Video Festival is right around the corner, and comes into full swing April 11-17 at the Athena Cinema. Sure to be another success, the Athens Film Festival will once again host a multitude of movies—from foreign to domestic, comedy to documentary, experimental to traditional narratives—that will find the interest of all persons, no matter their age or inclinations.
This year, the festival received over 900 competition entry films, all of which were screened and sorted over previous months by staff members. Working with the College of Fine Arts Communications and Marketing Department to produce the film festival program guide, this year's program guide will feature a dog on its cover, in its tradition of using animals for the film fest promotion. The festival has also developed categories out of the diverse films submitted in order to appeal to a wide array of audiences, such as films for the LGBT community, environmental films, family issue films, and more.
"It's important to cross-fertilize," says Ruth Bradley, creator and director of the Athens International Film + Video Festival. "We need to create categories for both general and unique groups."
There's plenty more to look forward to during this year's film festival. Guest artists Ayoka Chenzira and HaJ (directors of "HERadventure"), Richard Myers (director of "Deathstyles" and "37-73"), Matthew Burtner (composer for "Deep Earth") and Beth Stephens (director of "Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story") will all give special presentations of their respective media.
The festival will also show a variety of awarded feature films such as "Ernest and Celestine" (2012), "In Bloom" (2013), "It's All So Quiet" (2013), "Le Week-End" (2013), "Omar" (2013), "Particle Fever" (2013), "Something Necessary" (2013), "The Great Flood" (2012), "The Missing Picture" (2013), "Visitors" (2013), and the raucous, coming-of-age German film, "Wetlands" (2013).
The festival will have a table outside of Baker Center on Tuesday, April 8, and Wednesday, April 9, from noon to 4 p.m. If you care for any additional information about the film festival, please stop by to speak with the staff.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA -- Upgrades were unveiled last week to the Huntington Hall barracks in Newport News, VA, which house sailors from the USS Theodore Roosevelt and staff from Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipbuilding.
In addition to upgraded boarding rooms, improvements include a new workout center, a renovated gym floor and a resurfaced track and playing field.
Sailors participated in a ceremonial one-mile run at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to break in the new track.
The fitness center is being called "Generation Rec" and contains a gym, computers with Internet access, video game systems, large-screen movie theaters, pool tables and dart boards.
The $5 million facelift to the 80-year-old Huntington Hall began in January 2008. The building was converted from a high school into Navy housing in 1982.
More than 230 sailors now live in Huntington Hall, which is located within walking distance of the Northrop Grumman shipyard.

The crew onboard Endeavour was awakened at 7:17 a.m. CST this morning by the song "Here Comes the Sun", in memory of former Beatle George Harrison, who recently died of cancer. The instrumental was from the IMAX movie, "Everest". The song was played for the Expedition Three Crewmembers, Commander Frank Culbertson, Pilot Vladimir Dezhurov and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin. The crew was allowed to sleep in for an extra hour with a relatively light day of activities in store.
Today's agenda for the shuttle crew – Commander Dom Gorie, Pilot Mark Kelly, and Mission Specialists Dan Tani and Linda Godwin – will focus on packing up the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics module with unneeded equipment and supplies for the return flight home. Raffaello will be detached from the Unity module of the International Space Station tomorrow and reberthed in Endeavour's cargo bay for its ride back to Earth. Endeavour is currently scheduled to undock from the station on Saturday morning, with landing planned for early Monday afternoon at the Kennedy Space Center.
The Expedition Three crew will also continue handover activities with the Expedition Four crew – Commander Yury Onufrienko, and Flight Engineers Dan Bursch and Carl Walz.
A ceremony to mark the change of command from Culbertson to Onufrienko will take place at 3:09 p.m. CST. Culbertson, in his 125th day in space, will formally hand command of the space station on to Onufrienko, it's newest commander. The official crew exchange occurred Saturday, December 8 with the transfer of Soyuz seatliners for each crew member. Today's event continues the tradition begun by Expedition One Commander Bill Shepherd in March of this year, when he relinquished command of the ISS to Expedition Two Commander Yury Usachev.
With the crew completing the stowage of Raffaello for the trip home, work to replace a faulty compressor in an air conditioner unit in the Zvezda Service Module was deferred until tomorrow morning, concurrent with the closing of the hatch to the Raffaello module prior to its detachment from the ISS.
The next STS-108 mission status report will be issued about 6 p.m. today or as events warrant.

April 14, 2006 American Folklife Center Acquires Robert Johnson Test Pressings
Press Contact: Sheryl Cannady, (202) 707-6456; Erin Allen, (202) 707-7302
The Library of Congress' American Folklife Center has recently acquired an important collection of rare, mint-condition test-pressing recordings of Robert Johnson (1911-1938), one of the most influential composers of blues music. Johnson was recorded in 1936 and 1937 by traveling units of the Columbia (then ARC/Brunswick) Record Co., first in San Antonio and then in Dallas.
Donated by blues enthusiast Tom Jacobsen, the collection contains 186 one-sided, 78-rpm test pressings, including 25 Johnson recordings of the songs "Ramblin' on My Mind," "When You Got a Good Friend" (takes 1 and 2), "Phonograph Blues" (takes 1 and 2), "32-20 Blues," "If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day," "Little Queen of Spades," "Drunken Hearted Man," "Me and the Devil Blues," "Stop Breakin' Down Blues," "Love in Vain" and "Milkcow's Calf Blues."
These pressings were originally made for Columbia producer Frank Driggs in the late 1950s or very early 1960s, when Columbia was considering the reissue of some of its back catalog of country and blues recordings. Shortly afterward, Columbia and almost all other record companies abandoned their old stamping equipment, thus halting the production of such test pressings.
From these recordings, Driggs produced the first reissue anthology of Johnson's recordings, "King of the Delta Blues," in 1961 – an LP that proved to be the most influential blues album for modern popular groups, including the Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. Johnson's recorded repertoire consisted of only 29 songs, which he produced in 1936 and 1937, five of which were never issued during his short lifetime.
After master copies of a field-recorded song were sent to the record company's factory, metal copies were created and then "stamped" onto shellac discs for commercial release. Occasionally, in addition to the mass production of the record, companies stamped just one copy for internal use by their staff, and these single stampings were known as test pressings. These pressings of a commercial 78-rpm are rare items because, in many cases, they are the only extant copy or the clearest copy.
The Library's acquisition also contains Driggs' correspondence with Don Law, who recorded Johnson for Columbia and was able to give a first-person account of these recording sessions.
Other test pressings in the collection include recordings by blues and gospel artists Leroy Carr, Ida Cox, Lil Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Memphis Minnie, Little Brother Montgomery, Sam Montgomery, Kid Prince Moore, Tampa Red, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sonny Boy Williamson and Bob Wills, who pioneered the Texas swing style of music.
Rounding out the acquisition are several of Driggs' test pressings of blues reissue LPs that were never produced: a blues anthology titled "Kings of the Blues" and a three-LP set of the complete recordings of Robert Johnson.
The American Folklife Center was created by Congress in 1976 and placed at the Library of Congress to "preserve and present American Folklife" through programs of research, documentation, archival presentation, reference service, live performance, exhibition, public programs and training. The center includes the Archive of Folk Culture, which was established in the Library in 1928 and is now one of the largest collections of ethnographic material from the United States and around the world.

A New Observation Beehive
Monday, April 18th 2011
David from the Richmondshire beekeepers has arranged for a new observation beehive to be built in the Field Centre which is twice the size of the original one. The bees have had to go away for a short time (far enough that they won't try and fly back). Here you can see Mike from Blenkirons constructing the new frames.

Today I explain how to repair damaged power connector also known as power jack in Toshiba Satellite L305 and L355 laptops. I started covering this problem in one of the previous posts.
Also this modification should work for the following models: Toshiba Satellite L300, L305D, L355D, P305, P305D, Pro L300, L350 and more.
I have a list of compatible models (reported by users) at the end of this post.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION. The power jack gets pushed into the case and gets loose.
I will replace the original plastic jack with a generic metal jack purchased at RadioShack for about $3.
The RadioShack part number is 274-1576. This jack is designed for tip size 5.5mm O.D.x2.5mm I.D. You can order this jack online or pick it up in a local store.
Proceed on your own risk! If you do something wrong, you can damage the computer.
In order to access and repair the jack it's necessary to disassemble the laptop and remove the top cover assembly. You can use IrisVista disassembly guides for Toshibas (search on google).
Disassembly steps for all above mentioned models will be very similar.
OK, let's say the top cover is removed and we are inside. In this particular example I use Satellite L305D.
Why the power jack feels loose? You can see that the picture below.
In my case both, the DC jack and mounting brackets on the base assembly got broken. Even if you replace the broken jack with a new one, it will not stay attached to the base.
If you send your laptop with a damage like that to a repair shop, they will recommend replacing the jack harness and base assembly. This repair will easily cost over $200 but I have a better idea how to fix it for $3.
Here's my new replacement panel-mount jack which should last for a long time unlike the original Toshiba jack.
All laptops mentioned above come with one of the following AC adapter: 19v-3.42A, 19V-3.95A, 19V-4.74A or 19V-6.3A.
All these power adapter will fit perfectly into the jack from RadioShack.
Using a pocket knife remove plastic supports from the internal side of the base assembly, so the side where the new jack will be mounted is flat.
On the picture below you see plastic supports removed.
Again, using the pocket knife remove the plastic wall surrounding the mounting hole.
Make the hole larger, so then new jack fits in.
The new jack is too long and if you install it as is, the top cover will not sit properly on the base. It happens because one of the speakers (in Satellite L305D) is located very close to the DC jack.
It will work if you make the jack shorter. You can cut off part of the long "-" lead or simply bent it as I did. After it's done coat both leads with generous amount of solder.
Remove the damaged DC jack from the case and cut off wires somewhere close to the jack base.
Remove insulation, twist wires and coat them with solder.
The red "+" wire will connect to the lead in the center of the new jack.
The black "-" wire will connect to the lead on the side – the one you made shorter.
In some Toshibas you'll find green wires instead or red wires. They also should be soldered to the "+" lead in the center of your new jack.
WARNING! Check the polarity before you apply power.
Now mount the new metal jack on the base.
Solder wires to the new jack. Again, the red wire is soldered to the lead in the center and the black on to the lead on the side.
As you see, I soldered wires at a 90 degree angle to the jack so the top cover (and the right speaker) fits in.
I covered both leads with electrical tape.
The new (modified) power harness has been installed into the base.
Tighten the nut on the jack and secure it on the base.
You'll have to modify the top cover assembly a little bit so it fits on the laptop.
Remove plastic reinforcement walls so they do not touch the power jack when the cover is installed.
If you leave these walls, there will be a gap between the cover and base.
The plastic walls have been removed.
Assemble the laptop. You are done!
I think the new power jack is way more robust then the original one and should last for a long time.
And it looks great too.
Here's an example of damaged DC jack in a Satellite L355D.
This base is bigger than one in my previous example and you'll have plenty of space for your modification.
Here's another example of damaged base assembly in a Satellite P305D.
Again, there is plenty of space for the jack modification.
If this modification works for you, please mention the laptop model in the comments.
You are welcome to post any suggestions and improvements.
For disassembly instructions search for IrisVista on google.
This repair also worked on the following models (mentioned in comments):
Satellite A300/A305
Satellite A130/A135
Satellite L300/L305
Satellite L500/L505/L505D
Satellite P300/P305/P305D
Satellite A200/A205
Satellite A210/A215
Satellite L30/L35
Satellite L510/L515/L515D
Satellite C650/C655/C655D
Satellite L450/L455/L455D

On July 31, 2002 the Holy Father canonized Juan Diego, a humble Indian to whom the Mother of God appeared in Mexico in 1531 and on whose cloak she left her image as Our Lady of Guadalupe. With this canonization, the Church has placed one more seal on the authenticity of the apparitions that changed the course of the history of Mexico and gave all the Americas a great patroness. Alongside our invoking the intercession of the Virgin of Guadalupe, we may now also say, "Saint Juan Diego, pray for us." We dedicate the following article to him.
In the year 1474, a boy was born in Aztec Mexico in the village of Cuautitlan, about seven miles from the capital of the Empire, then known as Tenochtitlan, today Mexico City.
He was named, Quauhtlatoatzin, or "Eagle that speaks." His origin was humble and poor, yet this boy had been chosen by God to convey one of the greatest messages ever delivered to any nation.
Despite having reached the first degree of civilization with its cities and writing system, Mexico's religion was satanically barbarous. In the words of one historian: "Nowhere else in human history has Satan so formalized and institutionalized his worship with so many of his own actual titles and symbols." This was the old Empire of Mexico worshiping the "Lord of the Dark" and the "Stone Serpent," requiring a quota of, at least, 50,000 human sacrifices each year.
When "Eagle that speaks" was thirteen years old, a sacrifice of no less than 80,000 victims was offered to inaugurate the greatest of all pyramids. As he witnessed these horrors, maybe the young boy sent up a prayer for the accomplishment of an old Mexican prophecy that, one day, a God who hated human sacrifice would reach Mexico. Oddly enough, this prophecy even specified the year and the date on which this God would arrive.
The year by the Christian calendar was 1519; the day was a Good Friday. Montezuma II, then Emperor, a superstitious man, was on high alert because that was also the date in the Mexican prophecy.
If any Aztecs scanned the horizons of Mexico on that Good Friday morning, they saw eleven ships bearing great white sails marked by a black cross heading for their shore.
Commanded by the thirty-three-year-old Spaniard Hernan Cortes, the fleet anchored. Soon, at the captain's orders, a cross was planted in the sand.
Hernan Cortes and his six hundred warriors were descendants of men who had battled Muslims for eight hundred years to free their beloved Spain from the dominion of Islam. It took all that bravery seething in their veins to tackle the monumental task that lay ahead of them: namely, to snatch fifteen million people from the darkness and oppression of a satanic regime and introduce them to the sweet yoke of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sinking his ships in a gesture of unparalleled bravery so as to spare his men the temptation to flee, Cortes set his face and his small army to conquer Mexico for the Faith. The next year saw a series of battles of biblical proportions, terrible defeats, renewed attacks, great feats of diplomacy resulting in solid alliances with certain native tribes, and daring coups. The odds were those of one against ten thousand but, like Emperor Constantine of old, Cortes launched his mission under the banner of the cross, telling his men: "Brothers and companions, let us follow the sign of the Cross with true faith and in it we shall conquer."
At the end, Montezuma was dead, Mexico City had been conquered, a new government was established and churches began to rise in place of the old pagan temples.
Twelve Apostles
By this time, "Eagle that speaks" was a man entering middle age. He was married to a good woman and worked at farming, weaving mats, making furniture and anything else that would support them. He had an innate sweetness and compliant nature and a very humble disposition coupled with a quiet dignity.
One day, a few barefooted men in brown habits entered his village. They were Franciscans, a few from a group of twelve sent by Emperor Charles V of Spain for the evangelization of Mexico. These brave and zealous men had arrived in 1521, only two years after Cortes.
"Eagle that speaks" attentively listened to all they had to say and was soon bowing his head before one of them to receive the redeeming waters of Baptism. He was Christened Juan Diego. Baptized alongside him were his wife and uncle, who received the Christian names of Maria Lucia and Juan Bernardino. Juan Diego and his family were among the first natives to accept the Catholic Faith in Mexico. It was the year 1525.
After baptism, Juan Diego and Maria Lucia often continued to walk to Mass and instructions to the new church in Tlatelolco near Mexico City, about fifteen miles from their village.
On December 9, 1531, which was then the feast of the Immaculate Conception, Juan Diego again made his way among cactus plants and mesquite bushes to the Church at Tlatelolco near Mexico City as was his custom. He now covered the distance alone since his good wife had died two years before. He must have missed her sorely for he had moved to Tepotzotlan to be with his uncle.
Nearing Mexico City, Juan Diego always passed a hill called Tepeyac. Its summit had been the site of a former temple to the pagan "Mother God."
This morning as he neared Tepeyac, he suddenly stopped, hearing ineffable music that seemed to come from the top of the hill. Juan strained his bewildered eyes as he looked upward in hopes of discovering the source of so delightful a melody. It was then that he saw a dazzling cloud, emblazoned by a brilliant rainbow. Suddenly the melody ceased altogether and he heard the sweetest of all feminine voices calling his name in his native Nahuatl: "Juantzin…"
The voice used the diminutive of his name and it is impossible to convey what that meant as far as affectionate expression. Maybe, in our English it would be something like: "My dear little John."
Without fear, Juan Diego clambered up the 130-foot-high summit and found himself facing a lady of dazzling beauty. Her garments shone like the sun and the light streaming from her person transformed all nature around her into a play of color as if seen through a stained glass window. Even the smallest leaves looked like sparkling emeralds and turquoises and the tiniest branches as if dipped in gold.
The lady motioned for Juan Diego to approach and as he did so, she spoke:
"Listen, my dearest little son, Juan, where are you going?"
"My lady, my queen, my little girl," answered the happy Indian, "I am going to your little house in Mexico-Tlatelolco, to follow the things of God that are taught to us by those who are the images of Our Lord, our priests."
"Know for certain, my little son," said the lady, "that I am the perfect ever-virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the one true God…. I am your merciful mother, yours and of all the people who live united in this land, and of all mankind, of all those who love me, of those who cry to me, of those who seek me and of those who trust in me. Here I will hear their weeping, their sorrow and will remedy and nurse all their troubles, their miseries, their suffering."
Then she went on to ask Juan Diego to go to the Bishop of Mexico, Don Juan de Zumarraga, to ask him to build her a house on the hill. She finished by thanking him for his trouble and promising to reward him abundantly.
After some difficulty, Juan Diego saw Bishop Zumarraga who listened to him attentively but did not take him very seriously. The bishop dismissed him kindly, promising to think about all he had said and to see him again.
Knowing he had not convinced the prelate, Juan Diego returned to Tepeyac Hill and found the Mother of God waiting for him. At her feet, he told her all about the interview and begged her to send someone of more renown, of a higher station in life, one who would be more readily believed.
Our Lady replied affectionately: "Listen, my little son, I have many servants, many messengers… but it is most necessary that you go personally to plead, and that, through you, my will be realized… So, go and tell him once more, that it is I, the ever-virgin Holy Mary, I who am the Mother of God, who sends you."
On the next day, a Sunday, Juan Diego returned to the bishop's house. After much difficulty with the servants, he was received. Juan Diego again delivered his message. Bishop Zumarraga questioned him closely and finished by asking for a sign.
"Señor Governador," answered Juan Diego, "think about what the sign you ask for will be, because then I will go to ask for it of the Queen of Heaven who sent me."
Once Juan Diego left, Bishop Zumarraga had him followed. But near Tepeyac, his followers lost sight of him. Quite upset, they returned to the Bishop convinced that the Indian was only making up stories. So it was decided that when he returned he would be punished.
Meanwhile Juan Diego was with the Virgin explaining to her the bishop's request for a sign.
"That's fine, my little son, return here tomorrow so you may take to the bishop the sign which he asks. With this he will believe you and no longer doubt this and no longer suspect you. And know well, my little son, that I will reward you all the trouble and fatigue that you have undertaken for me. Go now. I will be waiting for you tomorrow."
Juan evades the Virgin
But the next day, Juan Diego did not return. His uncle had sickened and was dying, so Juan spent all of Monday with him. On Tuesday, before dawn, the good Indian made his way to Mexico City to call a priest to give his uncle the last rites. Passing Tepeyac hill, he thought of skirting it so the Lady would not see him and stop him.
As he did so, however, he saw her coming down the hill to meet him.
"What's wrong, my little son? Where are you going?"
Bending low, Juan Diego greeted her and wished her a good morning as he explained his uncle's predicament.
"Listen, and place it deeply in your heart, my littlest son," spoke the Queen of Heaven. "What frightens and worries you is nothing. Do not let it disturb you. Do not fear this sickness, or any other sickness, or any sharp and hurtful thing. Am I not here, your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and my protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need something more? Let nothing else worry you or disturb you; do not let your uncle's illness upset you, because he will not die of it now. You may be certain that he is already well."
Juan Diego, greatly comforted at these words, begged her, instead, to send him to the bishop with her sign. Then the Blessed Virgin told him to go to the top of the hill and gather the flowers he would find there.
Astonished at the beauty of the blooms miraculously growing in that spot, he gathered them all and returned to where the Lady awaited him. With feminine touch, she arranged them with her own hands inside his tilma, a cloak he wore to shield him from the cold, and bade him go to the bishop again.
The servants at the gates of the bishop's residence would not listen to the poor Indian's entreaties to see Don Zumarraga. Juan Diego, having no other recourse, waited patiently for a long time. Seeing him standing there holding something in his tilma, the doorkeeper and servants became curious and began to harass him so that he let them have a peek.
Great was their amazement at the sight of the exquisite flowers, their perfume, and the fact that this was not at all the season for these blooms. Three times they tried to grab a few out of Juan Diego's tilma but, as they attempted to do so, the flowers became as if painted on the cloth, thus evading their grasp.
The servants then ran to tell the bishop what they had seen. Hearing this, Don Zumarraga realized that here was the sign he had requested and had Juan Diego brought in immediately.
As soon as he entered the bishop's chamber, Juan Diego prostrated himself in his presence and related to him all that had happened and how he had found these beautiful flowers blooming out of season on top of the hill at the Lady's command.
The humble Indian then held out his tilma and just as the flowers cascaded to the floor, before all present, O marvel, there appeared on the cloth an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary just as Juan Diego had seen her.
Weeping and falling to his knees, Don Zumarraga, asked the Mother of God's forgiveness for not having immediately carried out her will.
Then, untying the tilma from around Juan Diego's neck, Bishop Zumarraga had the miraculous icon placed in his private chapel.
As Juan Diego returned home, he found his uncle cured and ecstatic with joy because the Lady of Tepeyac had also appeared to him. On delivering him of his illness, she had also revealed her name: "Coatlaxopeuh," or "she who crushes the serpent." It soon was to be understood as Guadalupe.
Meanwhile, as Bishop Zumarraga prayed fervently before the miraculous image of the resplendent Virgin of Guadalupe, his heart overflowed with gratitude as he remembered a prayer of some time before.
Two of the first Spanish governors appointed to Mexico were cruel to the Indians. Other Spaniards in authority also had more heart for gold than the welfare of the natives. He, Zumarraga, eventually had these men ousted but, meanwhile, the Indians threatened to revolt. The Indians also felt that they had lost their identity on accepting the religion of the Spaniards. Before, despite the horrors of paganism, they were Aztecs. But now, what were they?
In his affliction, Bishop Zumarraga had asked for a sign of the Mother of God that she would protect the new colony. He had asked for Castillian roses not native to Mexico. And Castillian roses were the very flowers that had cascaded onto the floor as Juan Diego opened his tilma! And then the Mystical Rose herself had left her wondrous portrait.
Our Lady, by appearing to an Indian in the turquoise robes of Aztec royalty with their own brown features, had sent the whole of Mexico the message: "I am your Queen, your Mother and you are my very own." The natives now had a place and a name: the place was the very heart of God's own Mother and the name, Guadalupenos.
A chapel was soon built on Tepeyac Hill, to be followed by a great basilica. Former Aztec Indians began to flock there by the thousands with the result that in seventeen years the number of baptisms had catapulted from two hundred thousand to nine million.
Juan Diego spent the rest of his life by his beloved Virgin. He died in 1548 venerated by his people for his untiring service and solid virtue. To this day the greatest blessing of Mexican parents on their children is: "May God make you like Juan Diego."

Product Stats and Appraisal:
There is some secret sauce involved, but essentially I make an estimate of the products refund rate. This is because all the products sold via Clickbank have an affiliate program, and the affiliate program provides statistics on the estimate amount to be earned per sale of the product. If you know the product price, you can work out the refund rate. It can be wrong if the price changes or if multiple different products are sold from the same account, but it's still the best we have.We use the stats to produce two quality indicators: buyer frenzy and buyer satisfaction.

After cloth diapering for over two years, I've tried a lot of different laundry routines. One thing I love to experiment with is laundry detergent, so I was happy to try out Little Love Buns detergents and wipes bits! Dallas, mom of three and creator of Little Love Buns has been cloth diapering for years, and created her detergent to help with skin sensitivities in her own children.
First, I was impressed with the packaging of the product – I've heard horror stories of other CD moms getting leaking packages of detergent (not from LLB of course!), but Little Love Buns packs their bags well! My box came with two very securely sealed bags of detergent. The wipes bits were bubble wrapped and taped into plastic cushion bags AND had a cold pack with them so they wouldn't melt in transit. That's good foresight from this business!
I tried out the Strawberry Watermelon and Peach Mango scents for both detergent and wipes – both are deliciously fruity, although the Peach Mango was stronger on the mango side. As far as cloth diaper wash goes, I have had zero issues using this detergent (and even scooped some into my regular wash too!). It rinses clean, not leaving a scent at all after washing, which is what a good clean-rinsing detergent should do! We have had no stink or rashing issues either. The ingredients are simple, and designed to be gentle: Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Oxygen Cleaner, Sodium Percarbonate, Sodium Borate, Fragrance Oil. (Also available without fragrance).
The wipes bits are cute! I have actually NEVER reviewed wipes bits before, so I was excited to try these! Molded into several different floral shapes and pretty colors to match their scents! It's easy to mix up a batch of wipe solution – I just dissolved about 4-6 into a wipes tub of warm water for a few minutes. I had to kind of mush them around with my fingers a little to fully break them up. The wipes bits (and LLB bar soap) are made with soothing goat's milk. You can request Shea Butter too if you like! I am definitely sold on Little Love Buns wipes bits!
After mixing up a batch of wipes solution, I just soaked my wipes in it and diapered away. The scent is mild so you can't really smell it unless you stick your nose in the wipes box. I like it because I don't like being overpowered with scent. And here's a great idea – uses these wipes bits for more than just wipes – try them as travel-sized soaps, in a foot soak, or in your bath (of course you'll have to add more bits for larger amounts of water)! RELAXING!
Oh also, lest I forget! Little Love Buns makes their own cloth wipes, nursing pads, diaper pail liners, and wetbags. I was lucky enough to receive an adorable monkey print PUL travel sized wetbag which we've been using regularly! It holds a good 5 or so dirty diapers, zippers shut along the top and has a snap carry strap. Perfect for a day trip! The fabric and construction are very sturdy and we love the fun print!
Another thing to love about Little Love Buns is their pricing – an 85/170 lb bag of detergent is only $11.99, several dollars less than most boutique cloth diaper detergents, and with more loads per bag! Check out Little Love Buns on Facebook, Twitter, and of course be sure to stop by their online shop!
One reader will win a Large Bag of Little Love Buns Detergent (choice of scent) and a 50ct tub of Wipe Bits (choice of scent)!

British children will be taught more about the solar system and evolution in an overhaul of the primary school curriculum proposed yesterday by Education Secretary Michael Gove.
Gove reckons his new draft lesson plan will "restore rigour" to classrooms by bumping up the amount of stuff kids have to learn: in science that will mean telling youngsters more about neighbouring planets and how creatures emerged from Earth's primordial ooze, which will make a change from the Pokemon flavour of evolution the tykes are used to.
Blighty's under-12s will also be made to learn more about the concept of speed - presumably the magnitude of velocity rather than the drug.
In line with the approach to science in schools in Alberta and Massachusetts, there will be a new focus on getting kids to do experiments.
In maths, pupils will be expected to do more work with fractions - a level consistent with education in Singapore - and know their times tables up to 12 x 12 instead of the current top limit of 10 x 10. In English, spelling will be beefed up, and pupils will be expected to know how to use apostrophes correctly and master formal English by reciting poetry. ®

A Renton business owner has been sentenced after being found guilty of insurance fraud and first-degree theft, both felonies.
Cassk Thomas, Jr., owner of Sams Pitt II Mobile BBQ, filed a claim in August 2011 with American Family Insurance that the barbecue smoker and trailer he used to operate his mobile barbecue business were stolen. He sought reimbursement for $24,668 in lost business and $32,243 that he said he paid for the smoker and trailer. American Family Insurance paid him a total of nearly $56,000 – $30,474 for the smoker and trailer and the full amount he claimed for lost business. A witness later provided proof that the smoker and trailer were purchased by a former business partner for $9,740.
Mr. Thomas was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 120 hours of community service, and faces restitution to American Family Insurance. The full restitution amount will be determined by May 2014.
The Office of the Insurance Commissioner's Special Investigations Unit investigates insurance fraud. You can report suspected insurance fraud on our website.

Via Marco Zambelli Franz
Sport climb up the West Face of Cima Grande, to the left of Via Dülfer. Established from the ground-up in autumn 2006 with 10mm bolts and a handfull of pegs, it was freed on 10 October 2006.
Given the steep nature of the rock face, apart from the first pitches the climbing is always exposed and pumpy. In general the rock is good quality though it still needs some cleaning.
The ideal starting points are Cortina d'Ampezzo and Auronzo.
These can be reached from the north via the Pusteria Valley, or from the south by first taking the motorway (A27) to Longarone and then following the state road northwards. Both points of departure lead to Misurina, from where a private toll-road winds steeply almost to the base of the Tre Cime's south faces. Park the car at Rifugio Auronzo, situated at the end of the road and either sleep here or in Rifugio Lavaredo, reached by following the path for 15 minutes underneath the majestic South Faces which contain, amongst many other famous routes, the Spigolo Giallo.
From the rifugio Auronzo walk up the scree-filled gully which lies between the Cima Ovest and the Cima Grande. From the top of the saddle climb up the pedestal at the base of the wall to the long chimney/corner. The route starts beneath a yellow crack.
Walk right along the ledge to the normal route and then follow the instructions as for via Hasse.

Minnesota farmers plant 70 percent of corn crop
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Favorable weather has helped Minnesota farmers catch up from a late start to get 70 percent of their corn crop planted.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly crops and weather report for Minnesota says warm, dry weather gave farmers their best week for fieldwork yet this season. Statewide, an average of 5.1 days were suitable for fieldwork last week.
That let corn planting advance by 52 percentage points to 70 percent, though that's still below the normal pace of 84 percent. Minnesota farmers try to get their corn planted by mid-May to ensure the best yields.
Soybeans were 23 percent planted, compared with 51 percent for the five-year average, but they don't need to be planted as early as corn.
Sugarbeets are 89 percent planted, 5 points ahead of average.

Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
There are now buttons on the puzzle so that you can get a clean page, in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button to print. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page. The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!
