Tombstone Tuesday: Drummond Hill Cemetery, Niagara Falls Ontario
Well its Tombstone Tuesday again. This week I have decided to feature a grave marker in Drummond Hill Cemetery, Niagara Falls Ontario. Drummond Hill Cemetery named in honour of General Drummond, is a nationally recognized heritage site. It's known as the battleground of the "Battle of Lundy's Lane", as well as the burial site of Laura Secord.
In 1799 Christopher Buchner purchased 400 acres of land from his father-in-law, James Forsythe. Christopher used the top of the hill as a burial ground. It later became the site of a fierce battle between the British and the Americans in 1814.
The gravestone is for Rheumanah Muisiners [Misener] who died in 1836. This is an early tombstone for Ontario. Many of the early settlers did not have the luxury of a fancy grave marker.
Rheumanah (nee Lanton) was the wife of Peter Misener from New Jersey. He was a soldier in Butler's Rangers and a Loyalist.

My 5th great grandfather was James Forsyth. His daughter Sarah married Christopher Buchner (Boughner). Buchner's house is still standing on Buchner Place in front of the cemetery (circa 1799).

April 2018
New Delhi: Senior officials of India and Peru will hold next round of negotiations for a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) in the South American nation this week to boost two-way commerce between the countries.
"Officials from commerce ministry are there in Peru for the second round of negotiations for the pact," a government official said.
In an FTA, two countries significantly reduce or eliminate duties on most of the goods traded between them besides relaxing norms and rules to promote trade in services and increase bilateral investments.

I have an Espire 6930 and cannot get the HDMI sound to come throught he TV. The old laptop worked with the same HDMI cable. I get great picture but no sound it just comes through the laptops speakers. Any ideas ??
I installed Linux Mint on my acer laptop (aspire 6920). Comparing the sound to when I was running Windows Vista on this laptop the sound is 'light'. I have played with the configs under 'alsamixer' but I cannot get the volume to the same level I was able to achieve under the Windows OS. Have other people had issues with this? What kind of solutions have been found for this issue?
For the Internal MIC fix follow:
Hi everyone,
This laptop doesn't have Bluetooth hardware inside, just the button to activate/deactivate it (I have seen that in other laptops too)
In Ubuntu Lucid most sound problems are solved. Mic works but records too noisy.
Some drawbacks with wifi though, maybe because I didn't make a clean install.
Battery still have problems, like saying it's connected but it isn't.
hi ya i have got a acer aspire 6930 laptop and i need to format the whole laptop . i did this once , but now again i need to do it , but i cant remember how do i format it . could u pls help me in this. pls pls pls

Make the microphone work with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 64bit
With Karmic 9.10 64 the mic was not working so I had to install ALSA 1.021 instead of 1.0.20 provided with Karmic.
As instructed on http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/ubuntu-karmic-upgrade-alsa-to-1021-from.html, I added a ppa:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable
then run: sudo apt-get update
then launch synaptic and upgrade the following libraries: alsa-base, alsa-utils lib32asound2, libasound2, libasound2-plugins, linux-sound-base
I also installed alsamixergui & libfltk1.1
Then on the command line, run alsamixer, select only capture peripherals with "tab" key and:
- set mic boost at max, "capture" to about 2/3 , "capture 1" to 0, as Input Source select "int mic". Then exit with escape and the mic should work :)
Hi ya590
Does ethernet works in 9.10 64bit? It does not work in 32bit.
Also I have problems with usb ports. I cannot mount the usb disks also.
Hi, no problem for me with ethernet in Ubuntu 9.10 64bit.
For USB, the first time I installed I then upraded the packages and had problems. Since, I reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 but without upgrading the "udev" and "libgudev" packages. It works correctly for now. Don't know if the problems are solved by any recent upgrade though… I'll have to test some day. But at least, if you make sure never to select those 2 packages while updating, it should work correctly for you too.
j'ai un probleme avec mes port USB ils ne veulent plus fonctionner il est ecrit qu'ils sont émulé que faire?????
Merci de repondre vite.
I have just spent 20 mins trying to turn the wireless on on this machine but running windows. Finally got it switched on by pressing it multiple times.
this laptop rules mEN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN:-P:-P:-P:-PBold Text:FIXDELETEMEME-P:-P:-P:-P:-P
we purchased a new acer aspire 6930g .but now the touchpad click is not working.instead we have to click on the right button next to the fingerprint control.please let me know what to do.
Hi all!
I saw people asking about the Tuba Bass and I just finished the adjust here at my 6930.
I'm using Mandriva 2009.1 (rocking by the way) with Gnome. I just added this line at /etc/modprobe.conf
options snd_hda_intel model=acer
still using Pulse Audio and is working pretty cool… This Tuba thing rocks!
Tnx all!
I have the acer ASPIRE 6930G and im trying to use the fingerprint this and it says i have to press a Hot key but i can't find a Hot key on my Labtop can someone like tell me??!?!?!?!?!?
I have installed Red Hat Entriprise edition 5.1 in m laptop,
but it didn't detect the ethrnet card for it i'm looking for its driver for linux,
Can any body tell me where i found it.
Thanks in advance…..
how exactly have you guys got wireless work? is there any HOW TO or something like that?i Did some searching, and didnt find anything..Thank you
I have the same problem I can't get the antenna to turn on after I installed kubuntu 8.04 on my Aspire 6930. I very new to Kubuntu. I don't know how to even start.
From what I remember, there is nothing particular to install. At least on Ubuntu 8.10. Ryan, try with Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) to be sure.
Then, there are 2 things to act onto:
- the digital wifi button (4th button from the right on the upper keyboard). Its color is orange when activated.
- the "enable wireless" checkbox which appears when you right click on the "network connection" applet in the taskbar.
If I remember correctly, the 1st time it didn t work until I had activated both AND rebooted.
For those whose wifi connection don't work, what is the color of the digital wifi button ? Is it orange ?
Did you try to *left* click on the network applet in the taskbar to see the list of wifi connections ?
8.10 sometimes requires you to disable and re-able wireless a few times using the NM-applet menu.
I installed ubuntu instead of kubuntu because it seems like there is more support or info for ubuntu. When I push the hot key to activate the wireless antenna it brings up a help file in ubuntu. Is there a way to reconfigure the hotkey to do what it is supposed to do. I think this is the problem. If I'm able to turn it on the the network manager could find my wireless network. I just don't know how to do that.
I'm sorry it's working correct for the hotkey to get a browser for the internet. The hotkey for the wireless network antenna doesn't do anything and the light doesn't change color. Will installing the drivers help? Or is this another issue?
The problem has to do with windows based firmware for the wireless power functions.
I haven't compared the package versions in mint 6 vs ubuntu 8.10, but as intrepid is the base from which felicia is built they should be similar.
In Linux Mint the wireless button is mapped correctly but doesn't work well (read turns it off but rarely turns it on).
What I normally do to turn wireless on is right-click the network manager applet in the taskbar, uncheck enable wireless, and wait a few seconds and recheck it. I sometimes have to repeat it 2 maybe three times but it turns on without needing to restart.
Well this is what I've done so far. I've downloaded device manager and installed it. For some reason it didn't come with ubuntu 8.04 that I have. I downloaded the vista driver for the built in wireless card. I'm following instructions in the book ubuntu 8.04 came in. It says to look in Device manager and find the network card to find make and model of wifi hardware. Looking at it all I see is Intel corporation and connection is PCI. It doesn't state the model. I found the info.udi line that gives me the PCI ID of 8086:4232 but I can't look up the make and model to see if NdisWrapper works works with it. Do I need to find out how to turn on the antenna or will fixing the drivers make it work. Right now ubuntu is not detecting any networks and I have it working with this computer now I'm typing in. Please help this newbie.
I'm going to suggest you use a slightly more recent ubuntu. 8.10 works without difficulty other than some minor bugs like firefox fullscreening on open. Linux mint 6 (Mint Felicia) is ubuntu 8.10 with some minor changes the medibuntu repository preinstalled, but any help from the forums could be applied to it. it has resolved some of the bugs with drivers and things like firefox fullscreening.
Hi, I had problems with ubuntu 8.10 with stability of my wireless connection (most of the time can not connect at all).
My workaround: On the wireless router, a linksys cc543030 I select network mode G-only (versus mixed, B-only). This helps for me.
Further security setting: WPA preshared key, TKIP.
for those having wireless trouble with their Acer laptop on Ubuntu, if the orange light doesn't come on open a terminal and type "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up". That'll enable the wireless. Doesn't always work but most of the time it does.
Would love to hear more solutions though. It's my only complaint.
the wireless and bluetooth issues are both fixed in ubuntu jaunty. while Jaunty(9.04) is still in beta it is already more stable than intrepid(8.10).
problems in jaunty that haven't been resolved are the sound issues i.e. the ports and internal mic not working. I've already reported the bugs on launchpad. I am planning on including a more thorough analysis this evening, including the work arounds here after I test them all and some of the alternates found in the forums.
After playing with all the hotkey's and rebooting my wireless didnt come up anymore.
After looking at dmesg output i found "radio disabled by HW RF kill switch". Now i dont know where this hardware kill switch is, or which action induced it.
My solution to get it working again:
open terminal from accessoiry menu.
sudo su
gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
add the following two lines at the end of the file:
options iwlagn disable=0
options acer-wmi wireless=1
now reboot your laptop. Wireless should work!
Thank you Steven, awesome. I've been unable to get the Atheros card to work on my Acer Aspire One with Mint 8 Helena until now. Final part of the puzzle solved. Thank you.
Running Acer Aspire ZG5 SSD 8 Gb, upgraded with 320 Gb SATA, 1.5 Gb Ram, Touchscreen, built in bluetooth and 3G/GPS all running on Mint. Most modable laptop ever.
For those interested, I managed to make the headphone output work by adding the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base :
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
For the microphone (or line-in) jack to work, I used the script provided in the 1st page of this post:
But the internal mic still doesn t work… :/
I made the internal mic work under ubuntu 8.10 on my Acer 6930G.
Will take you a little bit of work, I'll start with some preparations:
1) Install by sudo apt-get install the following: g++, xmlto
2) You will need alsaconf (which is not part of ubuntu)
2a) install ncurses (download and install ncurses_5.6+20071124.orig.tar.gz, the INSTALL text contains a lot of text, dont get distracted by it, follow steps, skip extensive testing).
2b) install alsaconf (download and install alsa-utils-1.0.19.tar.bz2)
3) Download realtek's linux driver http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3
3a) Follow manual build instructions (as applicable for Ubuntu)
You're done. You may need to stop & start alsa (/etc/init.d/alsasound restart)
Run alsamixer (to get channels of mute).
I recommend apt-get install kmix. In kmix go to settings, select all channels. So you can set an appropriate recoring level for the mic for if you test with sound recorder.
Skype will automatically adjust recording levels of the mic.
Works like a charm! Skype video chat with internal mic and internal cam works beautiful.
To check the realtek thingy is loaded, enter: lsmod | grep realtek
Should display some lines.
Hope this helps u all.
… and u may want to add the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=ACER
at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
(see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383)
Thanks Steven, it works ! Thank you so much.
So I tested to install the driver in both Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 beta 1. Here is how I did it, for those interested.
I only installed the driver by running the following command in folder "alsa-driver-1.0.19-5.11":
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
Then I modified the file "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" and added the following lines:
options snd-hda-intel model=ACER
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Then, the mic can be enable in the OS "volume control" applet.
Yeah !
hi, the only thing not working for me still was the tuba bass / cinebass.
To get the Bass working, i followed this link (installed hda-verb):
That post talks about toggling the headphone mute to enable Bass.. for me this has no influence, but i can set the Bass Level by setting the "Side channel" volume.
E.g. by running alsamixer from the terminal.
hi,I love my 6935G so here is what I found for this TUBA problem in the post :
"No sound on Acer Aspire 8920G with H.Heron 8.04 Beta x86_64 and Realtek ALC889 and Intel HDA 82801H "
chek the last 2 posts,
The new Alsa Realtek High Definition Audio Driver package is available
I'm just a ubuntu newbie, so if anybody can make a siple step-by-step guide , It will be perfect :)
sry for my bad English, I hope this was a usful information:)
hi, to get tuba working
1. add a line at /etc/modeprobe.d/alsa-base :
options snd-hda-intel model=ACER
2. at system volume control turn on front playback
the download link is broken, just go to realtek.com>downloads>highdefenition audio codecs>linux
hi, i'd like to use the internal microphone on my 6930,
i can't download drivers, always error from realtek server…
could you upload them on a website like mediafire or rapidshare?? thanks
i've downloaded them from (thanks google :D )
if i try to install driver, i can't, i receive a g++ error i suppose, what i should try to do!?!?

As steve says everything except the integrated microphone seems to work (to be fair I haven't tested the modem). I haven't found a fix for the mic yet though, so share if you do.
I'm using MINT Felicia which is built from Ubuntu 8.10
web cam does look a little washed out, but it might be the lighting in my room.
both card readers work as do all of the buttons.
Hi, in case u subscribed to comments: the internal mic works, if you follow Francois instruction above ;)
i followed Francois instruction, internal mic works but there is loud noise over my voice…about module option:
wrong option: options snd-hda-intel model=ACER
correct option: options snd-hda-intel model=acer
strange: I have ACERwritten in uppercase in my config file and it works ! What difference in usage do you have between the 2 ?
it doesn't exist ACER option in Alsa doc but only acer or acer-aspire option..
i have these questions:
- do you have chip ALC888?
- front speaker works? subwoofer works? internal mic works with or without noise?
regarding acer written in uppercase or lower case, it works for me uppercase… maybe it doesn't matter ?
Regarding ALC888, I think so but was not able to make sure. nevertheless, all Acer 6930G have the same sound system.
The subwoofer maybe doesn't work, I'm not sure as I have speaker plugged on the computer I don't use the internal ones, & I would have to compare the sound to XP or Vista to make sure the subwoofer works or not. But the sound seems "light" so I think it does not work.
Regarding the internal mic, it sure has quite some background noise in it… But it seems usable for me.
ok i am having the same problem as some of you. i am trying to connect to a bluetooth mouse and when i try to turn on the bluetooth i get the bightness control and nothing happens. also i had my web cam working (actually much better in Linux than in windows) and then i did an update and it doesn't work anymore. any advice?
I have the Acer Aspire Gemstone 6930 and I used Fedora 10 with no problems but I like trying different distro's like others enjoy games ;) I setup OpenSUSE 11.1 and I am more then impressed with how good it works with it. The installer with its Partition manager is by far the easiest I have used, it setup an Extended Partition and then divided it up perfectly…Excellent laptop and the price is unbeatable for the performance…
@Xak I came across the same thing with the WIFI button to disable WIFI and then having to reboot….sorta the same thing in vista when you hit the button to disable it and if you just try and enable by going to the Managing network's it doesnt enable it half the time until you hit the button again..
I have a 6930G and the WiFi works if you don't shutdown the computer with the WiFi off. Otherwise you need to turn on the WiFi by pressing the touch panel and then reboot the 6930. My WiFi will then come on when it's booted up. The brightness control comes up when I turn off my bluetooth but doesn't affect the bluetooth opperation - it's just a small glitch.
My card reader works fine.
My headphone jack doesn't seem to work though.
To run the Live version of Ubuntu (8.04) I have like this:
After choosing the language, press F4 and select video mode without failure.
Ubuntu starts very well!
Pierre España
Hello, it is impossible to view using a live version on aspire 6930.
Is there a solution?
I use Ubuntu 8.04
Thank you Peter, España
I installed fedora 8 on it. My display is stretched because of wide-screen. When i try to set the screen resolution manually then it just does not show any options there. Acer provides driver for Vista which sets the display to desired resolution and everything is fine over there.
Can anybody help me in setting the display resolution so that my display does not get stretched ?
If this page is referring to Acer Aspire 6930-583G32MN
i would like to state that in qatar(middle east), it comes with a
256mb nvidia geforce 9300m gs and not a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD as stated in this page.
these are the other configurations for the same laptop:
Intel core2 duo 1.86ghz
3Gb Ram
16"wxga screen
so i would like to ask all those guys who have put up posts here if they also have the same configuration and how it is for gaming.
i am planning to buy this in the coming days.
thanx sam
Installed OpenSuSE 11.1. Everything that I use worked right out the box with the exception of the screen resolution. I needed to manually set up the type of LCD screen then set the resolution accordingly. I never use the webcam, or microphone, so I have no idea if they work. Wireless worked perfectly, even connecting to a WPA-2 connection.
Beautiful laptop, even more beautiful without windows and running SuSE.
I just bought this laptop and I am on the way to pick it up, of course as soon as it get's in the door linux will be waiting for it and I'll report back afterwords. I was amazed at what you get with this laptop for the price and looking for the last week online I have yet to find a "bad review" about it.
Acer 6930
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit on my Acer 6930. Things went smoothly. Everything works (including the Webcam) except the integrated mic (the one in the lid). I can get a plugged-in mic to work without any trouble. However, there does seem to be some minor problems with the "sound system". Some of the alsa mixer controls don't seem to work the way they are supposed to.
i just got my 6930 and tried running the live ubuntu persistent disk on it and i couldnt get my wifi to work. every time i tried to start the bluetooth i got the brightness control. maybe im doing something wrong. and i didnt get a user manual so i have no idea how to turn on my wifi anyway.

Tubo-charging investor sovereignty: investment agreements and corporate colonialism
Original Publication Date:
9 February, 2006
Nicholas Hildyard, The Corner House, UK; Greg Muttitt, PLATFORM, UK
From the introduction:
Reconstruction and construction do not take place only in bricks and mortar. Long before the first foundation stone is laid for a major pipeline, road, mine or oilfield development, the project is constructed on the hard drives of investors, built of financial spreadsheets and legal agreements. Certainly, no less effort goes into engineering these aspects than the physical project itself, and their impacts on communities and the environment can be at least as profound.
But it is here that the analogy with bricks and mortar ends. For corporate investors, the body of project and financial law is a frontier against which they continually aim to advance. Reconstruction of a country

Sprint just announced a brand new mobile hotspot would be available to subscribers on February 27th for $49.99. The 3G/4G MiFi from Novatel Wireless is similar to the MiFi devices that we already know (and love) but this one packs in WiMAX radio for fast connection speeds. This will be Sprint's second 3G/4G hotspot, the company having announced the OverDrive early in 2010.
The new MiFi includes a number of improvements compared to older Novatel hotspots, including an eInk display and a improved exterior design, but still has features users have come to expect, like WiFi support for up to 5 users and an on-board microSD card reader. Expect the battery to last for up to 4 hours of usage (less with more devices pulling from it) and for up to 60 hours of standby use.
From Sprint's release:
MiFi 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot by Novatel Wireless
With the unveiling of Novatel Wireless' ultra-compact MiFi 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot, Sprint brings customers the portability of the MiFi design with one-touch connectivity for up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices, including tablets, eReaders, laptops or gaming consoles. Delivering a true wireless experience with no cables or software installation required, MiFi 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot has battery life of up to four hours of usage and 60 hours of standby time. MiFi 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot easily supports all the needs of a family household, a frequent traveler who wants to avoid Wi-Fi charges, or even a small business team with a form factor about the size of a credit card.

Access tools such as the command history workspace browser and variable editor, save and load your workspace data, and manage windows and desktop layout.
This video tutorial will introduce a number of features of the MATLAB® Development Environment, also known as the MATLAB Desktop. Here you'll find tools to execute commands, inspect and manage your data, and to create and manage your programs.
The toolstrip contains command buttons and icons for commonly used functionality in MATLAB. It is organized by tabs that group related functionality. The toolstrip contains a number of global tabs, such as the Home tab, that are always present, and contextual tabs that become available when you need them.
The command window allows you to enter commands such as,
x=1:10; % x = 1 to 10 y=log(x); % y = log of x plot(x,y); % and plot (x,y)
When you enter commands they are recorded in the command history.
You can re-execute previously entered commands by double-clicking them,
or, by dragging them back into the command window for modification such as,
plot(x,y,'*'); % plot x, y with star markers
The variables x and y are contained in what is called the MATLAB base workspace, as well as by using the whos command to get information on them:
The Workspace Browser lists their names, values, and other statistics which can be customized by right-clicking and selecting the options that you wish to view.
Double-clicking on a variable opens it in the Variable Editor. When you open the Variable Editor, the related tabs also appear. You can modify your variable interactively and plot using the Plot Gallery in the Plots tab of the toolstrip. The gallery contains a large variety of available plot types to choose from, depending on how you want to visualize your data. You can plot directly from the Workspace Browser. The windows that are generated by plotting commands, known as figures, can be docked in the desktop for easier management.
You can save all the variables in the MATLAB workspace to a file on disk by using the save command:
save mydata
Save mydata creates a mydata.mat file on disk (visible in the current folder browser), which shows the contents of your computer's file system.
You can also create a MAT-File by right-clicking on selected variables in the Workspace Browser and choosing Save As.
You can clear individual variables or the entire workspace with the clear command, such as
clear x
or, just clear
You can load your saved variables back into the workspace using the load command, such as
load mydata
or, by double-clicking on MAT-files in the current folder browser. You can preview the contents of many file types by looking in the details panel.
You can change the locations of tools, close them, and bring them back using the Layout pull down menu. You can minimize them, access them temporarily by hovering over them, restore them by double clicking, and undock them completely by dragging them out. You can return the desktop to the default layout using the Layout menu.
The Apps tab gives quick access to interactive applications from the MATLAB product family. You can also package your own applications to share with others. When installed, those apps will also be available in the Apps tab.
The Quick Access Toolbar is a place to put your commonly used functionality. By default, it contains functionality such as cut, copy, paste, and the ability to switch between panels. The Quick Access Toolbar is customizable; you can add items from tabs. Shortcuts can be created to contain MATLAB commands that you use regularly and are placed in the quick access toolbar. A Shortcuts tab also contains your shortcuts.
The Current Folder Browser and other development tools, such as the Editor used in the creation and management of MATLAB program files, are covered further in other videos.
That concludes the demonstration. Try these examples in MATLAB now or watch one of these other videos.

ft ! !; A WRITER IN OUR MIDST 27 A murder mystery... overtones of witchcraft... a Seattle setting... all these are elements of a new book called The Death Beads. The author? Bette Hagman, wife of Joe Hagman, partner in charge of our Seattle office. How did it all come about? Bette explains: "I started writing at that time in life when men begin dreaming about chasing younger women and women are chasing their dreams. I'd already managed to dispose of the child into college, golf which I discovered I didn't like and bridge which didn't like me. When I turned to art, a fellow student probably saved the world from some very bad painting by talking me into enrolling with her in a writing class. It was love at first write! "For seven years I wrote. At first the usual homey anecdotes most writers start with...no research...no plot...no sale. But an editor to whom I sent my first book said he 'liked my style.' By that time I was hooked. The catch was that he also added that I needed to learn to plot. So I picked the hardest-to-plot story I could find, the murder mystery. "The first mystery was masterfully plotted (I have an editor's letter to that effect), but it never sold. The second completely missed the boat (it was a boating mystery). By that time I was mad, and I fired off the beginning and a hasty synopsis of the next book to make sure I hadn't missed on this. I hadn't! My agent sold The Death Beads on the strength of those six chapters and synopsis!' Published by Dell last summer, the book is set in a mythical town in the Cascade Mountains. It's a semi-Gothic tale, with the plot revolving around a string of carved beads. "After I signed the contract for Death Beads I got cold feet. But my teacher said there's nothing like money in the bank you haven't earned yet to keep you writing. She was right. I had a year to finish, but I sent the first draft off in four months expecting the publishers to ask for revisions. They didn't make a single change. "Since Death Beads I've done another book with a Seattle setting, and I have six chapters of a third book with my agent. "I usually write about six hours a day, and I have to discipline myself or I would never get the books finished. I've discovered writing is a trade which I've had to learn; being an English major in college didn't help much. Since I enrolled in that first adult education class, I've worked up from Beginning Writing to the Professional Workshop class, a group of professional writers who meet once a week to criticize and, what is more important, give moral support. It is also a social outlet, since writing is a lonely business." Bette says her family always accepted the fact that she would find a market some day. She adds, "Occasionally friends wonder why I don't quit now and move on to something else. They don't realize that writing is not a job; it is a disease—and I've got it bad. "People ask 'What drives you so hard?' Simple. I love writing. It's just the rewriting, revisions, retyping ad nauseam that I loathe. But it all proved worthwhile with that first letter that said the book had been sold, that someone had enough faith in me to put his money on a newcomer who had never been published and hadn't even written the book yet!"

Top 10 • US Bubbling Under Hip-Hop/R&B Songs • March 23, 2019 | Billboard-Charts - Urban-Vibes.co.uk

✘ What means "Bubbling Under"?:
The Bubbling Under Hip-Hop/R&B Songs is a chart composed of 10 positions that represent songs that are making progress to chart on the main Hip-Hop/R&B chart but didn't reach it yet. Many times, songs halt their progress at this chart and never debut on the Hot Hip-Hop/R&B Songs chart. The Bubbling Under Hip-Hop/R&B Songs chart can also be seen as a 10 position quasi-addendum to the chart, since the chart represents the 10 songs below position number 50, that have not previously appeared on the main chart.
The music charts should be seen as promotion of the songs. Through the large range of charts, we make people aware of new songs that they might not know and therefore encourage them to buy it.

Here we go, BETA dudes!
Important things:
- Before use this BETA, I recommend run Crysis 2, select standard Extreme graphics settings. Select DX9 or DX11 (I recommend DX11 for this mod, all changes have been made to shine in DX11). Select your resolution, you can use downsampling for better results. Disable HiRes Textures if you want save some memory or leave them turned on if you have a good amount of memory. Exit game.
- Download, unrar, and execute MaLDoHD_C2_Setup to run installer.
- Select your Crysis2 game root folder if installer can't find the path.
- When installer finish, run Config Tool (shortcut in your desktop).
- Please, I know you maybe have a super highend computer, but take a look to Recommended Settings in Config Tool. Mod has been tweaked for use those settings. You can add Reflections, Penumbra Shadows and those candy effects over Recommended Settings using checkboxes. I recommend you do NOT check Particles Shadows. If you miss some important graphic effect using this config, ask me using this blog before try standard Ultra preset. I want you can play this mod with higher framerate possible.
- Don't use ingame graphics options. Using could break mod configuration.
- Use DXOverrider or twice ALT+TAB to enable Triplebuffering. DX11 have Triplebuffering disabled by default. If you use multigpu you don't need it (remember to check Multigpu option in Config Tool in your case).
- When you play the mod for the first time, you must start a new campaign or restart a level. Savegames from original levels checkpoints DON'T WORK. It's because this mod uses updated versions of maps and savegames have map info inside that don't match with the updated versions. Using old checkpoints from original maps in updated maps produces invisible objects and broken gameplay, so you can't resume your old campaign checkpoint. Start new campaign to play whole game or use Mod campaign menu for map selection. If you want reset your nanopoints, create a new profile.
- Known issues: Maple tree leaves texture is not done. TOD changes are not finished (config tool option is disabled and some levels have edited TOD at this time), Reduced textures option is not finished (more reduced textures in final version) but you can use it, two marble textures in Terminal level are not finished. And some brick walls textures are finished but not applied.
- If you find bugs you can post here. Write a new comment like "BUG: bug description". White elements, flickering, etc.
- If someone reads a bug that he does not suffer, can add a reply in bug comment like "NOT IN MY SYSTEM: computer description."
- If you have an "easy to implement" idea (add ammo crate in a place, remove ammo crate, add weapon, add a barrier for cover somewhere, etc) you can write a comment such as "SUGGESTION: idea description". If this petition gets some +1 replies I can include it in the final version.
- I hope you enjoy this BETA.
- It's possible that I will be some days offline.

Besides being a crunchy, flavorful salad ingredient, cucumbers are pickles-to-be. So what garden is complete without them?
Cukes grow on vining or bush-type plants; your garden space will determine which varieties have a growth habit that is best suited for your needs. The other factors to consider when choosing the types of cucumbers to grow are how you plan to consume the fruit, and what qualities you seek in the flavor. If you want crisp, fresh cucumbers all summer long, choose a variety with a slower time to harvest. If you plan to make pickles, choose a variety like the Homemade Pickles Cucumber Plant that is mature and ready to harvest in 45 days, and between 2 to 5 inches in length.
Cucumbers like the Dasher II produce copious fruits that are ripe for harvest at 10-12 inches in length, and starting at around 2 months of growth. Some varieties are less acidic and easier to digest.
While you are at it, radishes make great companions for cucumbers. Companion planting means putting compatible plants together to provide benefits to one or both. In the case of cukes, if radishes are planted nearby or interplanted throughout the cucumber bed, they will deter the pesky striped cucumber beetle.
Cukes need a lot of moisture to grow and produce bountiful crops. The vining varieties require a trellis or stake support to allow the fruits to have space to grow. They mature best when allowed some shade underneath the plant's leaves or from neighboring plants.
Harvest cucumbers when they reach their desired length and before they get too plump, which ensures sweeter fruit and it also keeps the plant producing more throughout the season. Also, never let cucumbers turn yellow, or they'll develop a bitter or sour flavor and hard seeds and skin texture. The varieties you choose will have a recommended "days to maturity" rating that will tell you when to expect your first ripe fruits.
Wear gloves when harvesting cucumbers. They are covered with tiny prickly spines that can easily be removed with a gloved hand. To remove the fruits from the vine, simply hold the cucumber in one hand, and the stem in the other and snap off at the stem. If the fruit resists, pull the stem from the vine and keep it intact with the fruit.
The more you harvest, the more you encourage the plant to continue its production until the frost hits. Cukes like heat and generally aren't very frost resistant.
If your cukes are ripening faster than you can eat them, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Or, you can make cucumber salad by preserving them in a vinegar-based brine, and they'll keep like that for a week or so, refrigerated. The main thing is to keep picking them as they ripen to encourage the vines to continue providing new fruits.
An easy, refreshing and nutritious cucumber salad can be made combining white vinegar, salt and sugar to taste, added to diced red bell peppers, onions and cukes. Allow flavors to marry overnight. Also, the skin contains many nutrients, so if your garden is organic, don't peel and discard the best part of the cuke!

Sorry to say, but I don't read much. Especially when it comes to non-fiction. I wish I was more interested in history, but it just bores me to death every time I try. I digress. My favorite book of all time is "The Odyssey". We read it as a class in my 5th/6th grade class. It seems like a book that should have been way over our heads at the time, but it wasn't. It was read out loud, with the teacher and students taking turns, over about 3 or 4 months if I remember right. 40 years later, I remember the story as if I read it yesterday.
If you haven't read it, it's simply about a guy taking a journey and running into different challenges along the way. A lot of similarities to Clash of the Titans, but so much better.

Resveratrol Protects Against Atherosclerosis
Resveratrol, a phytopolyphenol compound found abundantly in red wine, protects against atherosclerosis by multiple mechanisms.* Atherosclerosis develops from an excess of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the arteries, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial cell injury and dysfunction; the process leads to the formation of fibrous plaques that may rupture.
Several activities of resveratrol help inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis. Studies show that the compound regulates the production of both vasoconstricting and vasodilating substances, inhibits oxidative stress and the generation of reactive oxygen species, inhibits inflammation, prevents the oxidation and uptake of LDL, suppresses platelet aggregation at plaque sites, and decreases the accumulation of smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels.
These findings support previous data on the wide-ranging benefits of resveratrol, including protection against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and suggest its future role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring More Accurate Than Office Measurement
Continuous blood pressure monitoring at home appears to be more accurate than measurements taken at office visits in predicting heart disease outcomes, according to a recent study.*
A total of 556 patients with treatment-resistant hypertension underwent both office measurements of blood pressure and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements at home (every 15-30 minutes) while wearing a small device. After blood pressure was recorded, patients were monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and death. An average of five years later, 20% of patients had experienced a cardiovascular event or had died. Blood pressure measured in the doctor's office showed no statistical association with outcomes, whereas high blood pressure measurements at home—especially values recorded at night—were associated with heart disease events.
Home blood pressure monitoring eliminates "white coat hypertension," the phenomenon of elevated blood pressure from the stress of being in a doctor's office, and provides important information about night-time levels.

Fish Oil Keeps Arteries Supple
Fish oil supplementation improves arterial elasticity compared with placebo in overweight patients with high blood pressure.* Arterial stiffness in hypertensive or elderly patients may predispose to cardiovascular disease.
The 52 Chinese patients were randomly assigned to take fish oil capsules (3,000 mg/day) or placebo. After eight weeks, large-artery elasticity was significantly improved in the fish oil group compared with baseline, but no effect was found in the placebo group. No changes occurred in small-artery elasticity or blood pressure in either group. The increase in arterial elasticity correlated with the degree of increase in the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in the blood.
The results suggest that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil exert a direct and rapid effect on improving arterial elasticity in overweight, hypertensive patients, but further study is needed to prove a similar benefit for aging-related arterial stiffness

B Vitamin Prevents Memory Loss
A recent article in the Journal of Neuroscience reveals a protective effect of nicotinamide, otherwise known as niacinamide, against memory loss in mice bred to develop a condition that mimics Alzheimer's disease in humans.*
The team from the University of California, Irvine, added nicotinamide (the amide of nicotinic acid [vitamin B3]) daily to the drinking water of Alzheimer's mice and normal mice, while other groups of mice received untreated water for four months. They found lower levels of phosphorylated tau in the brains of the Alzheimer's mice that received nicotinamide, as well as an increase in proteins that strengthen the brain's microtubules. While untreated Alzheimer's mice demonstrated memory loss, those that received nicotinamide performed at the same level as the normal mice.
"The results presented here suggest that nicotinamide has a potential as a novel, safe and inexpensive Alzheimer's disease therapy, either alone or in combination with amyloid beta-lowering therapies," the scientists concluded.

Endothelial Progenitor Cells May Reduce Cardiovascular Disease
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which circulate in the bloodstream, play a role in normal blood vessel function and may find application as both a marker of cardiovascular disease and a potential treatment, according to a recent review.1
Endothelial progenitor cells help create and repair blood vessels by giving rise to endothelial cells (cells that line the blood vessels). Current research suggests that EPCs are biomarkers for cardiovascular disease risk. Oxidative stress, especially associated with aging, impairs endothelial cell function, and the response of EPCs to oxidative stress is therefore critical to prevent disease. Because a higher number of EPCs is related to a lower risk of disease, EPCs are also a potential therapeutic strategy to repair blood vessels.1
Further understanding of the relationship between oxidative damage and EPC function will lead to future antioxidant treatments, and EPCs may become "a method to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to reduce vascular morbidities and mortalities."1
One of resveratrol's multiple benefits is its ability to upregulate endothelial progenitor cells.2

Vitamin E Reduces Inflammation
A recent issue of the journal Experimental Physiology published the discovery of researchers at the University of Illinois of an anti-inflammatory effect for vitamin E in an animal model of inflammation.*
Kinesiology and community health professor Kimberly Huey, PhD, and colleagues administered vitamin E or a placebo to mice for three days before injecting the animals with a low dose of E. coli lipopolysaccharide to induce inflammation. A control group of animals received saline instead of the lipopolysaccharide.
The team found increased levels of the cytokines interleukin-6 and interleukin-1-beta in the skeletal and cardiac muscle of mice that received lipopolysaccharide, yet among those that received vitamin E, levels of these cytokines were significantly lower than those of the placebo group. The cytokines function as intercellular communicators that assist in immune response, yet can lead to excessive inflammation.
Dr. Huey concluded that vitamin E "may be beneficial in individuals with chronic inflammation, such as the elderly."

Pharmaceutical Advertising Biases Journals Against Non-Drug Therapies
According to a study conducted at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, advertising by pharmaceutical companies in medical journals is clearly associated with bias against "non-drug" therapies in those journals.*
Researchers examined a year's worth of issues from 11 "major medical journals," including influential publications, such as The New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the British Medical Journal. Investigators tallied the amount and content of advertising per journal, and noted any coverage of dietary supplements, including the conclusions reached regarding those nutritional supplements.
Journals with the greatest amount of pharmaceutical company-sponsored advertising were least likely to feature articles about dietary supplements. More to the point, when such journals did feature articles regarding supplements, the conclusions were more likely to be negative rather than positive, or merely neutral.
"The results are consistent with the hypothesis that pharmaceutical advertising biases journals against non-drug therapies," wrote investigators. "In major medical journals, more pharmaceutical advertising is associated with publishing fewer articles about [dietary supplements] and having more negative conclusions about [dietary supplements'] safety."

So where do i start?
Right after Sabayon Linux 3.4F mini released I completely focused on entropy.
I spend evenings testing equo, reporting back to Fabio. At some point I've reinstalled 3.4f like 12 times to test the upgrade procedure to Sabayon Linux 3.5 Loop 1 using only equo as a tool.
That was dirty but important work and now its all paying off!
Equo stabilised and we could start thinking about a GUI. Forking off Yum Extender Spritz was born. Meanwhile i worked on growing our repositories and slowly things started to grow and grow.
The project site was moved to a Level3 server in Amsterdam. Better server, greater bandwith, better deal. Actually it was cheaper so there wasn't much to think about.
We knew we needed to upscale our server capabilities and certainly needed the bandwith to be able to serve up our fresh repositories. We needed money.
I've contacted the people at nllgg.nl and they helped us out great. We quickly got a full mirror and nluug.nl thanks to them and applied for funds we needed at nlnet.nl. We were more then excited to hear we got chosen after some pre-sellection. With the funds we had allot less to worry about and really could focus on the plan Fabio created.
Meanwhile more and more people started hooking up to the project. Beta testers, translators and developers. Its great to see how it all comes togheter now.
Big thanks to everybody involved.

Einstein's Unusual Brain
Previously unreleased photographs show that Einstein's brain had several unusual features that could explain his extraordinary cognitive abilities.
Nov 19, 2012
Dan Cossins
Wikimedia, Library of CongressPhotographs of Albert Einstein's brain, taken shortly after his death but never previously released to the public, have revealed several unusual topographic features that may explain why the physicist was so clever, according to a study out last week (November 16) in Brain.
After Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey removed and preserved the physicist's brain. He took dozens of black and white photos from various angles before the brain was cut into 240 blocks, from which histological slides were prepared and sent to leading neuropathologists. Most of this material seems to have been lost over the years, but in 2010 what remains of Harvey's private collection was given to the US Army's National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Having obtained 14 photographs from the collection, anthropologist Dean Falk from Florida State University and colleagues compared the folds and grooves of Einstein's brain to those of 85 brains photographed for other studies. Although Einstein's brain was average in size, they noticed patterns rarely seen in other brains, such as a larger and more intricately folded prefrontal cortex—a region thought to be important for abstract thinking. The team also spotted differences in the right somatosensory cortex, the region that receives sensory information from systems in the body sensitive to touch, which could explain—or perhaps result from—Einstein's well-honed ability to play the violin.
"These [brain features] may have provided the neurological underpinnings for some of his visuospatial and mathematical abilities," said Falk in a press release.

It's been a century since the first International Women's Day was marked in Europe by working women gathering to talk about equality in homes and village halls, while others demonstrated, demanding the right to vote.
Sixty-five years later, the United Nations officially recognized March 8 as International Women's Day and some member countries declared it a national holiday.
Sadly, some of those countries are among the worst in the world when it comes to women's rights.
In the world's richest countries, women have gained some measure of the equality their foremothers spent hundreds of years yearning and fighting for. In those countries, it has been a century of firsts, with women taking on roles and responsibilities that had previously been denied them. Not only has equality changed workplaces, it's reshaped families and traditions.
The changes have been legal, social and economic and they've occurred not only because of activism. Birth control, for example, was only legalized in 1969 in Canada, while abortion was decriminalized in 1988.
But changes have also resulted because of revolutionary scientific advances that have given us the Internet, social media and reproductive technology.
Yet in many nations, women continue to live as they have for millennia, as uneducated chattels and slaves, bartered and traded by men and often forced to live hidden by burkas and walls.
Across the globe by almost every measure, women lag well behind men.
Even though women do 66 per cent of the work and produce half of the food, UNICEF reports that they earn only 10 per cent of the global income and own just one per cent of the property.
Nowhere in the world do women account for even a third of the national parliamentarians and, in most regions, including Canada, it is considerably less.
Still, this represents progress.
In 1927, the Supreme Court of Canada — the court that for the past 11 years Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin has presided over — ruled the legal definition of person did not apply to women and upheld the status quo. The court's ruling denied them access to public appointments, practising various professions and voting in all but a few provinces.
The Famous Five — Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Nellie McClung — successfully appealed the Persons' Case to Britain's Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
In his 1929 decision, Lord Sankey wrote: "The exclusion of women from all public offices is a relic of days more barbarous than ours. And to those who would ask why the word 'persons' should include females, the obvious answer is: Why should it not?"
His conclusion, sadly, remains current today even though it echoed what Mary Wollstonecraft wrote 130 years earlier in A Vindication of the Rights of Women.
In it, she argued that women are not inferior, but appear to be so only because the majority are denied education and opportunity.
As far back as medieval times in Europe, upper-class women were educated. In the merchant class, some women were full partners in family businesses. Widows and daughters could inherit property and carry on family enterprises, including the business of ruling countries (a notion still not universal in Europe's creaking monarchies).
Of course, it didn't last. By the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe and England, guilds began to exclude women. As men began to do surgery and practise medicine, they pushed aside women who for centuries had held exclusive domain as midwives, herbalists and healers.
Fast forward to the last century.
The suffragette movement not only successfully lobbied for the vote, but women also convinced governments to provide "mother's pensions" — a precursor to family allowance cheques and child tax credits — in the 1920s across North America.
But not all women were eligible. In Canada, Asian and aboriginal women were specifically excluded. In the United States, African-Americans were excluded.
During both world wars, women were the backbone of the economy. But when the men returned, the women were forced to retreat into their homes, don their aprons and devote themselves to child rearing.
They and their daughters reinvigorated the drive for women's rights in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Still, progress came slowly. It was the mid-1980s, for example, before Canadian women were finally able to sign for loans and mortgages without having either a father or husband co-sign.
Canada's 1982 Constitution Act enshrined the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and guaranteed gender equality. Its promises have yet to be fully realized.
Married aboriginal women living on reserves still do not have matrimonial property rights. They are exempt from provincial family law, and family law amendments to the decrepit Indian Act died on the parliamentary order paper in 2009.
Not only do they have fewer legal rights, aboriginal women are twice as likely as other Canadian women to live in poverty, five times more likely to die as a result of violence and to lag well behind the national average in life expectancy.
In short, their lives are more like those of women in developing countries than those of women living in one of the world's richest nations.
Immigrant women fleeing discrimination in their home countries also face unique challenges. Breaking free from cultural and religious restrictions isn't as easy as simply changing countries. In North America and Europe, ethnic and mainstream leaders use multiculturalism to justify overturning the democratic principle of one law for all and imposing religious laws such as Islamic Shariah law.
Still, looking back over the century, an optimist would say that progress toward equality is now so far advanced that the clock cannot be reset.
Looking forward, an optimist would point to the images of veiled women in places like Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya and Afghanistan who are fighting for democracy shoulder-to-shoulder with men.
However, history reminds us that after social/political revolutions where women have been important players, their quest for equality rights are often ignored or even diminished by new regimes, whether in France, the United States, India or the former Communist states.
Recently, much has been made in the media of the fact that female students outnumber male students in many university programs, including medicine and law, and that the first wave of layoffs during the 2008 global recession affected more men than women.
Yet Canada's female labour force participation rates have scarcely changed since the 1990s.
Three years out from the economic meltdown, data indicates that women and men have suffered almost equally from job losses related to what was once called the man-cession.
Queen's University professor Kathleen Lahey points out that when it comes to wages, women have gone backwards over the past two decades.
At the end of 2010, full-time working women earned only 71.3 per cent of men's average full-time income. In the late 1980s, women earned 77 cents for every $1 a man earned.
More shocking, she says, are Statistics Canada data from December 2010 that show women with university degrees now only earn 68.4 per cent of men's average university-degree incomes, as compared with 86.8 per cent in the late 1980s.
Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise.
Worldwide, women continue to be significantly under-represented at the highest levels of both governments and corporations. That's despite recent evidence that institutions with higher levels of female participation are better managed and more profitable.
But the most troubling and blatant example of gender discrimination falls broadly under the label "missing women".
On a micro-level in Canada, it refers to women — most of whom were survival sex workers — who have disappeared without a trace. Some were victims of mass murderer Robert (Willie) Pickton; others have disappeared along British Columbia's Highway of Tears.
Disproportionately, the missing women are aboriginal and the official response over the years has largely been a gigantic shrug.
Worldwide, the United Nations' most recent estimate is that 200 million women are missing.
In 1990, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen first coined the phrase, pointing out that there are 92 million women fewer in the world than there should be based on the fact that male and female births are almost equal.
Initially, Sen postulated that selective abortion and infanticide in countries such as India and China explained the difference.
But University of B.C. economist Siwan Anderson's recent, groundbreaking research found those only account for a small portion of the missing women.
Millions of women go missing in every age category and not only in China and India. In fact, Anderson is certain that the number far exceeds the UN estimate of 200 million.
Nearly 40 per cent of the missing women in China and India are 45 or older. In sub-Sahraran Africa, a third of the missing are in that age category.
Gender discrimination is the only explanation, according to Anderson and co-researcher Debraj Ray of New York University, who did both current and historical research.
In the 1900s, they found the same missing women phenomenon in the United States. In fact, the number was actually proportionately larger than in modern-day India and China. It was, however, slightly lower than in sub-Saharan Africa.
But how that discrimination plays out varies vary from country to country and region to region.
China, for example, is the only country in the world where women have higher suicide rates than men.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region where more women than men die of AIDS.
In India, a disproportionate number of young women die in fires.
Anderson believes the fires are related to dowry.
Indian widows also die at higher proportional rates than other parts of the world.
Why do women go missing in states with the greatest inequality?
Anderson is optimistic that they will have some answers within the next two years.
Despite her research's depressing conclusions about discrimination, Anderson is also optimistic that the equality gap is closing.
"Gender is on the agenda of big organizations," she says. "A hundred years ago, I wouldn't have been a professor and this research wouldn't have been done."
That said, Anderson notes that her own field of economics "still has a [male] gender bias."
But there are other issues that continue to challenge women's equality.
There's the resurgence of religious fundamentalism, which has reopened debates about everything from Shariah law to working mothers to polygamy.
There's the explosion in pornography, sex tourism and human trafficking that's resulted from greater access to the Internet.
At the nexus of liberalism, freedom of expression and women's rights is a renewed debate about prostitution.
Should it be an occupational choice legally available to women? Or is it modern-day slavery, antithetical to equality and human dignity and another form of violence against women?
Around the world, those questions are being answered in different ways.
And what too few nations have tackled so far are the many issues related to reproductive technology.
They range from the bizarre, with octo-moms and grandmothers acting as surrogates, to the chilling, where children are being conceived to provide "spare parts" and surrogates are warehoused in poor countries in an echo of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
And, of course, it remains to be seen whether the continuing revolutions in the Middle East bring not only democracy, but real freedom for women as well as men.
But on this century celebration, I choose to be a pragmatic optimist. I choose to believe that equality is not only worth fighting for, it is inevitable.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for responding. Typically, it all suddenly started working today after yet another erase and a power cycling. (Duff data causing things to fail? Maybe the power cycling was the bit I was missing in the equation?). I was, at least, doing everything correctly as mentioned so perhaps it was just a glitch? Perhaps it's the reason why first time users seem to have problems?
I have to say that it is counter-intuitive to upload data and not be able to view it. Perhaps some of the ergonomics are putting people off their stride? I'm coming into it from the IT support side and I have to say some of the behaviour of the tester takes a lot of supressing of natural instincts. The PATGuard software also has some "quirkyness" about it, Bit's I'd expect to work one way, work another etc
With 20-20 hindsight, I could certainly rattle off some ideas that might be useful improvements (and I'm stressing the might )
PS: Bluetooth connection delays being one of them! It winds me up too. Especially as I've sat there for a few moments now waiting for the connection and then realised the printer has gone to sleep. It's just a little bit annoying.
