Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
The 2004 Canoe Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented in many small lots, which allowed each lot to be treated as a unique expression of the vineyard. By using a variety of fermentation practices and yeast strains, Canoe Ridge created individual components that were carefully pieced together for the final blend. They used a minimum of fining and filtration, and aged the wine for 16 months in a variety of oak barrels.
This lovely Cabernet Sauvignon opens to lush berry aromas. Rich, layered flavors of chocolate, blackberries and blueberries are complemented by vanilla and toffee notes. On the palate, the wine is round and full with a firm structure and soft tannins. A beautiful overall balance distinguishes this wine, making it a wonderful partner for a variety of rich foods such as grilled steak, lamb chops or Portobello mushroom lasagna.
Canoe Ridge Vineyard's estate vineyard, uniquely sited at a broad section of the Columbia River in eastern Washington, produces grapes of uncommon quality. The vast river moderates temperatures, prolonging the grapes' time on the vines during summer days, which are longer at this northern latitude, while protecting the vines from hard freezes in the winter. Sheltering ridges limit...Read More About Canoe Ridge
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which...Read More About Columbia Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

(This is the second in a series of stories by Nicole Crites on the efforts by the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs to end homelessness among veterans by 2015.)
Tedie Irving is 45 years old and finally has a place to call his own.
"I did two tours," Irving said. "The first Gulf War, Operation Desert Storm."
After getting out, he "couch surfed" and wound up on the street.
"To see so many homeless veterans, the guys and ladies who have served this country," he said shaking his head. "Those numbers are just really, really ridiculous."
On any given night, there are nearly 1,300 veterans sleeping on the streets across Arizona.
Chronic homelessness is one of the worst problems facing the state's veterans.
"We deal a lot with pride aspects," said Brad Bridwell, Irving's landlord. "You know, a veteran just has a lot of dignity and self-respect and pride, and sometimes those things don't work in your favor when you're down and out and needing help."
Bridwell works with Project H-3 vets, an outreach co-op with volunteers from veterans services, housing and mental health.
"We're working on finding out what services veterans need, so when we line up those services, we come back out and find the veterans on the streets," Bridwell said.
"So if we're able to take your picture, we're able to find you better."
And it's a grim picture of sharing a squat under a bridge pillar or sleeping on a bed of rocks by the railroad tracks.
Homelessness alone is not the issue
"Why am I still here?" shouted a woman who was lying on a public bench. "Stupid, ugly miserable people. I want my life back. I had a very good life."
Often, mental illness, physical disabilities and addiction compound the problem.
"A lot of veterans really just really don't like to take orders anymore," Irving said.
He said he remembers going on a drinking binge, during which he didn't shower for a full month.
"I really just didn't care, and it gets like that sometimes," he said.
He's been in and out of transitional housing for veterans in Washington state and California.
"They say only the strong survive, and you gotta be very, very strong when you out on the streets," Irving said.
He's lived at Victory Place, a residential complex for veterans in Phoenix, more than a year now.
"I'm trying to get myself back together," he said, adding that he's ready to go back to school to be a diesel mechanic.
He said he might try and ship back to the Middle East, this time as a contract worker.
Victory Place is one of many housing options a veteran has. Cloudbreak Communities offers subsidized housing for veterans in five states.
It works with HUD and the VA to secure vouchers to house nearly 3,000 at-risk veterans.
Even the kitchen on the property offers free or reduced meals and employment for a few of the residents.
It's called the "housing first" method: get veterans in housing, then bring the services to them, significantly increasing their odds for success, Bridwell explained.
Project H-3 started passing out flyers for "Arizona Standdown," an all-call for veterans in February to come in, clean up, get a clean slate, and start over.

"Smoking is a privilege, and breathing is a necessity," said Councilman John Ed Pennington, after going on record as sponsoring the smoking ban.
The city council voted unanimously to pass the ban against smoking and met applause from local citizens in doing so.
Four people were injured in a wreck on Island Creek Monday afternoon.
Around 1 PM, just three miles north of Manchester, a black four-door sedan, driven by Mary Burns, 78, of Manchester, collided with an S10 pick-up driven by Bertha Rogers, 39, of Manchester.
A Manchester man was killed in a Laurel County wreck Monday morning.
According to Sheriff John Root, Laurel Sheriff's Sgt Josh Gaylor is investigating a vehicle fatal traffic crash, which occurred on Ky 80, 8 miles east of London on Monday morning at around 11:38 A.M.
A 2001 Chrysler Town and Country van was westbound on Ky 80 in a curve and on a hillcrest when the van slid sideways on the rain slick roadway, and slid into the path of an eastbound 1988 Ford Ranger Pickup.
KSP Find Gun in Pond
The gun suspected to have been used in a double shooting on Roots' Branch last week has been found by Kentucky State Police Friday in Jackson County.
After investigating the shooting, KSP Trooper Jeff Senters determined the shooter to be 21-year-old Jeremy Fusner of Clay County.
Officers responded to the incident, which occurred around 10:52 AM Thursday morning. A neighbor had called 911 after one of the shooting victims, Michael D. Jones, 33, stepped out on the front porch, asking his neighbor to call police, saying there's been a shooting.
Trooper Senters, along with Sheriff Kevin Johnson and Deputies Brian Jackson and Dewey Grubb, were the first to respond and contained the scene until other officers arrived.
A mother and her four-month-old baby girl were laid to rest Monday, after their car overturned in a river along KY 11 last week.
Kimberly Jackson, 27, of Manchester was traveling southbound on KY 11 when the 1994 Toyota Camry she was driving went out of control in a curve.

We've already discussed Nanosolar's reel-to-reel solar press in some detail, but they're not the only ones working on solar printing. Indeed, Konarka has taken the where to buy cialis process to a whole new level of simplicity by actually using an inkjet printer.
Using the existing technology like this allows for a significant reduction in costs, because the company doesn't have to invest in developing a whole new system. Of course, it's also bound to be slightly less perfect than if a printer were designed specifically for the cells. Nonetheless, these sheets of plastic film are flexible and cost of propecia inexpensive to levitra getting produce.
Konarka expects to see uses for them in the same arena where they've already been successful -- mostly powering indoor sensors. But they also hope to use the new low-cost process to broaden their applications. They're already in talks with the people who run the www.aagon.de LEED efficiency rating system about full panels for using in buildings.
Because the film is cialis pharmacy cheap, can convert non-direct light, and is flexible, applications are varied. Konarka's CEO told Popular Mechanics that they "constantly receive calls from innovators who have read about the cells and propose unique—sometimes wild and crazy—concepts for the technology."
We should see these printed plastic panels showing up in panels on rooftops in 2009, and by 2010, they may be available for purchase off the shelf at Home Depot.

Just a week after its launch, Love Equally - the SYP's campaign for marriage equality is already making the headlines and gathering support from hundreds of young people! This unexpected success has thrown up a new opportunity for SYP to take action and for MSYPs to support the campaign!
Over the weekend, you might have seen a number of stories in the press about a Parliamentary Motion that has provoked a lot of debate amongst MSPs. The motion, by John Mason MSP, follows the high public interest after our campaign launch. It appears to express concerns about people and organisations who do not agree with same-sex sexual relationships being 'forced' to be involved in or to approve of same-sex marriages.
We feel that the concerns expressed in Mr. Mason's motion are unfounded - our vision would not force individuals and organisations to be involved in or approve of same-sex marriage, but believe that their opposition must not stand in the way of Scots who love each other from being allowed to marry. It appears that several MSPs agree with us – several have spoken out against the motion (click here for coverage from the Scotsman and here for the story from the BBC) and Patrick Harvie MSP has tabled an amendment that "considers that the balance between these views has changed substantially over recent decades… allowing same-sex marriage and mixed-sex civil partnerships would in no way undermine the rights and freedoms of those who do not wish to participate in them" echoes our call for the Government to hold a public consultation and congratulates the SYP's campaign. You can read the motion and amendment by clicking here – they're about halfway down the page.
Love Equally got a good mention on the BBC's Newsnight Scotland on Monday 8th August, as well as an indication from the First Minister that the public consultation may be brought forward. John Mason appeared to be reassured that we would not force organisations to be involved in same-sex marriages that do not want to do so. Good news all round! You can watch the Newsnight clip on iPlayer by clicking here – it's the first item on the show!
So far 30 MSPs have signed up to Patrick Harvie MSP's amended motion in Parliament and shown their support for marriage equality and the ideas behind Love Equally. With the issue gathering support, we want to make sure that all MSPs know about Love Equally and that we want them to make marriage equality a reality as soon as possible!
Why not email your MSP to make sure they have signed up! Don't forget, you also have seven regional MSPs as well as your constituency one. If you arent sure how to do this, email email@example.com
Any help you can give will help keep the issue high up on the politicians' radar and let them know more about Love Equally.
In its first week alone, there's been a fantastic response to our petition to the Scottish Government to bring forward a consultation on marriage equality quickly. At the time of writing we have almost 300 responses online, and in a fantastic weekend at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival in the Highlands, over 500 young people signed in person! Photos from Belladrum – including support from top Scottish band Kassidy – will be appearing on our Facebook page soon.
If you haven't signed the petition, or have some mates on Facebook who'd like to, what are you waiting for? Head over to http://www.change.org/petitions/scottish-government-consult-on-same-sex-marriage-and-registration-of-civil-partnerships-now to show your support, or pop up a link online to get that number even higher!
It's been quite a first week and the support MSYPs have given Love Equally have already pushed it into the news and started making a case the politicians can't ignore! Thanks for all your hard work so far – keep it up and we'll make change happen!
Stay tuned to www.syp.org.uk, Facebook and Twitter for all the latest as it happens!

HACKENSACK, N.J. (WPIX)—A Florida man - accused of killing his son-in-law in New Jersey - is using his wide waistline as a defense in a murder case.
Edward Ates is accused of driving to the Garden State from his Fort Pierce home and shooting his 40-year-old son-in-law Paul Duncsak to death in 2006. Ates, who was 62-years-old at the time of the incident, claims he weighed 285 pounds and was in poor physical shape.
However, prosecutors claim Ates drove to Duncsak's home in Ramsey and shot the pharmaceutical executive. Authorities in St. Lucie County arrested Ates in 2007.
When the shooting occurred, Duncsak and Ates' daughter were apparently involved in a bitter custody dispute following their divorce.

IRQ conflicts can cause a variety of problems such as pops, clicks, crackles, dropoupts, or distoration in the audio; problems with device installation and recognition; and causing a device to stop functioning after a period of use. This article explains in detail, IRQ function and how it relates to your M-Audio device, and offers troubleshooting tips for overcoming IRQ conflicts. This article is separated into 4 sections:
- About IRQs
- Viewing your system's IRQs
- Understanding IRQ Assignments
- Troubleshooting IRQs
About IRQs
Every Windows computer has a limited amount of physically present resources that it can assign to the different hardware devices that you install into your computer or attach to it. The most important type of these resources is the IRQ or Interrupt Request. Your computer has one or more CPUs (central processing units) which are the work horse in your computer. These CPUs have to handle everything your computer does - from what is displayed on your screen to calculations for the software you are running; along with many, many other things. It will also have to process the audio and MIDI data you are sending to and from your M-Audio device. IRQs (interrupt requests) are numbered from 0 to 15 and organize the installed hardware into a hierarchy that determines how and when they are able to "interrupt" the CPU and give it a new task.
All of the audio and MIDI that you play back or record using your computer must be processed by the computer's CPU(s). For example, processing audio works like this: Once the sound card's IRQ has been called up by a CPU, it will send a block of audio to the CPU for processing. After the CPU is done with the necessary calculations, it will send the block of audio back to the sound card before it begins working on another task (e.g. graphic display, etc.) The blocks of audio received by the sound card are temporarily stored in a "buffer", and the audio data will be sent from there to the sound card's outputs so you can hear it. If the sound card has to wait too long until it is allowed to interrupt the CPU to send/receive the next block of audio, the buffer will run out of temporarily stored audio and the sound card won't have anything to play back. When this happens you will hear a popping sound or crackling until the CPU allows the sound card to send/receive the next block of audio. In some cases, these interrupts can also cause the device to drop off the bus and stop functioning, requiring a system restart to regain functionality.
If your computer is fast enough and the M-Audio device is assigned a unique IRQ (interrupt request or better "interrupt permission") that doesn't share with anything else, audio should record and playback without any resource related pops, clicks, crackles, or distortion. If you do experience any pops, clicks, crackles, or distortion, you may need to increase the size of the buffer mentioned above. This buffer (latency) can be changed from the control panel for your M-Audio device. The exact method for changing the buffer (latency) setting is explained in your device's user guide.
Most new computers have so many devices that they cannot assign an individual IRQ to every device. The system then assigns the same IRQ to more than one device. Those devices will have to share the priority when interrupting the CPU and will have to "fight" over who can talk to the CPU first. Although the sharing of IRQs is OK with most devices, it can be a problem for audio and
Windows is limited to 16 physical IRQs (numbered 0 to 15), and uses virtual IRQs (16 and above) to internally manage the interrupt request assignments for additional devices. These virtual IRQs are shared with one of the 16 physical IRQs (0 to 15); however, Windows manages this internally and does not show you which actual physical IRQ it shares. Although the M-Audio device might show on its own virtual IRQ, it will most likely share a physical IRQ with another device, invisible to you.
If the M-Audio device is showing on the same IRQ with two or more other devices, but below the number 15, Windows simply decided to show the devices on the same IRQ and stay within low number instead of adding higher and higher virtual IRQ numbers. No matter which way Windows is handling the IRQ assignment - an audio or MIDI device sharing resources with another device can cause problems.
Viewing your system's IRQs
Follow these steps to view the IRQ assignments on your system:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run
2. In the dialog box that appears type "msinfo32" (without the " ")
3. Click OK to open the System Information Utility
4. Click the + to expand Hardware Resources
5. Click IRQs
1. Press the "Start" (Windows) + R to open the Run dialog
2. In the dialog box that appears type "msinfo32" (without the " ")
3. Click OK to open the System Information Utility
4. Click the + to expand Hardware Resources
5. Click IRQs
Below are examples of a system's IRQ list:
Understanding IRQ Assignments
Your M-Audio device will be displayed in the IRQ list by the means in which it connects to the mainboard of the computer. If you have an M-Audio FireWire interface you will be looking for the "OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" in the IRQ list (see above). If you are using an M-Audio USB device, you will be looking for the "USB Host Controllers" (there should be several of these). Only M-Audio PCI cards, such as the Delta and Revolution series cards, will appear by name in the IRQ list. This is because they connect directly to the mainboard.
When viewing the IRQ list in the System Information Utility you will see a list of devices installed in your computer, and to the left is the IRQ assigned to them. Locate your device (Delta/Revolution) or the controller(s) (FireWire/USB) that your M-Audio device is connected to and check the assigned IRQ. Since there is no easy way to identify which specific USB controller your M-Audio USB device is attached, check the assigned IRQ for all USB Host Controllers. Ideally the M-Audio device or the port connecting the M-Audio device is the only device on an IRQ lower than number 15. However, on many new computers, there are more devices than available IRQs; and because of this, the IRQ associated with the M-Audio device will likely be virtual. Below is a list of standard IRQ assignments and a brief description of devices that are commonly found on the IRQ:
IRQ 0 - System timer (unable to be assigned to anything else)
IRQ 1 - Keyboard (unable to be assigned to anything else)
IRQ 2 - Redirect to IRQ 9, IRQ 2 is internally shared with IRQ 9. Also Cascade interrupts for IRQ 8-15.
IRQ 3 - COM 2 and COM 4 - commonly used for the interrupts of the second and fourth COM ports (shared with virtual IRQ devices)
IRQ 4 - COM 1 and COM 3 - commonly used for the interrupts of the first and third COM ports (shared with virtual IRQ devices)
IRQ 5 - Often used for the internal sound card (shared with virtual IRQ devices)
IRQ 6 - Often used for the floppy disk controller (unable to be assigned to anything else)
IRQ 7 - First parallel port (shared with virtual IRQ devices)
IRQ 8 - Real Time Clock (unable to be assigned to anything else)
IRQ 9 - Open Interrupt, available for peripheral devices, shares with IRQ2
IRQ 10 - Open Interrupt, available for peripheral devices (shared with virtual IRQ devices)
IRQ 11 - Open Interrupt, available for peripheral devices (shared with virtual IRQ devices)
IRQ 12 - P/S2 mouse, can be used for other devices if the P/S2 mouse is disabled
IRQ 13 - ISA, Co-processor (unable to be assigned to anything else)
IRQ 14 - Primary IDE channel, can be assigned to other devices if no IDE device is enabled
IRQ 15 - Secondary IDE channel, can be assigned to other devices if no IDE device is enabled
IRQ 16 through IRQ 24 – Virtual IRQ
The virtual IRQ are shared assignments of IRQ 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11. It is not shown which devices in the virtual IRQ are assigned to which physical IRQ and sometimes these assignments can change depending on the resource needs of the system. This is one of the reasons it is not desirable to have an audio or
Some mainboards predetermine which devices will share resources in the virtual IRQ. This information can be found in the user guide of the mainboard. An example of this information is shown below:
There are a number of special cases that need to be mentioned here:
1. On many mainboards, IRQ 9 is internally shared with IRQ 2, although it won't show here that it is shared. If an M-Audio device is assigned IRQ 9, you probably need to fix this.
2. On some systems, the Video- or Graphics Cards are not displayed in this list. Typically the IRQ for these devices is either number 10 or 11. If the M-Audio device is on IRQ number 10 or 11 and your video/graphics card isn't listed, then there is a good chance you have those two devices conflicting.
3. Some IRQs are reserved for mandatory system devices and are always in use - no matter if they are listed here or not. Typically these IRQs are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 6, 8, and 13. These IRQs cannot be used for the M-Audio device, nor any other device added to your PC.
Troubleshooting IRQs
As explained earlier, problems such as a device ceasing to function, pops and clicks, or a device failing to install or be recognized by an application, can be caused if installed devices have to (in simple terms) "fight" for the attention of the CPU. Although the IRQ list doesn't always clearly indicate which other device(s) your M-Audio device must "fight" with, these types of problems tell us that it does. Understanding the concept of IRQs, you will probably think "Why don't we just manually assign an IRQ to the M-Audio device to ensure it's on its own?" Unfortunately, ACPI (the system in Widows that manages the IRQ) doesn't allow this. This means we have to use tricks to get this issue resolved.
Thesycon's DPC Latency Checker is a free Windows tool that analyses the capabilities of a computer system to handle real-time data streams properly. It may help to find the cause for interruptions in real-time audio and video streams, also known as drop-outs. As often times these drouputs are caused by other devices on the system, this tool can be helpful when troubleshooting IRQ's. Please visit http://www.thesycon.de/eng/latency_check.shtml for download links and more information on using this tool to check for latency spikes.
To begin we need to make sure that there are enough free resources available on your computer. The easiest way to do this is to disable devices on your computer that you are not actively using. This limits the number of devices fighting to access to a CPU. Fortunately, there are a number of things in most computers that are activated by default which you are probably not using. There are two ways to disable hardware devices in your computer - through the computer's BIOS (Setup) or through the Windows Device Manager.
Disabling Devices in the BIOS
WARNING: Some Computer Manufacturers may void the warranty if you make changes in the computer's BIOS! Please check with the manufacturer for details on their warranty policy.
WARNING: DO NOT disable any device unless you are sure about how it will affect your system. When in doubt, contact your computer manufacturer.
Because BIOS menus, options, labels, and interfaces differ from system to system, this section only serves as a general guide for disabling unused devices from your computer's BIOS. Please refer to your computer or mainboard's user manual for information specific to your system.
Disabling devices through the Computer's BIOS (Setup) is the preferred method. Additionally, there may be one or more reserved IRQs in the BIOS that are not available for Windows at all, so you may be able to provide more resources, simply by un-reserving these IRQs. The BIOS (this is an acronym for "Basic Input Output System") is like a Mini-Operating System that is stored on a physical chip on your computer's mainboard. Generally, you can access the BIOS right after turning on the power of your computer. On custom built computers you can usually access the BIOS by pressing the "
If you have a brand name computer like Compaq, Dell, Gateway etc., you may have to get rid of the Startup Screen that displays the brand name. In most cases pressing the "Esc" (escape) key will make this screen disappear. On some machines it might also be the Spacebar, F1 or F2. Most computers display which key you would have to press to get rid of this screen. Once you get past the brand name splash-screen (which occurs within about the first 10 seconds after powering-on), you will have to press another key to access the BIOS (sometimes called "Setup" if displayed on screen at this point). For detailed instructions to access the BIOS of your computer, refer to the mainboard's user manual, or contact the manufacturer.
What you are looking for in the BIOS depends on the brand and model, but can usually be found in a BIOS category like "Advanced" and "I/O Configuration" or "Chip Configuration", etc. In these categories you will find the active devices and should have an option to "disable" these devices. Refer to the mainboard or computer's manual, or contact the computer manufacturer for details on disabling devices from the BIOS (Setup). Most manufacturers limit the devices that can be disabled in the BIOS; devices that are not accessible in the BIOS can be disabled in the Windows Device Manager. Two examples of BIOS device menus are shown below:
Once you are done making the desired changes in the BIOS, press "F10" to save the changes and then select "Yes" to verify saving the changes. If you don't want to save your changes, then repeatedly hit escape until your computer reboots (you might have to select "Yes" when "exit without saving" is displayed). Again, consult the user's manual or contact the manufacturer for exact instructions.
Disabling Devices in the Windows Device Manager
WARNING: DO NOT disable any device unless you are sure about how it will affect your system. When in doubt, contact your computer manufacturer.
To disable devices that you don't have access to in the BIOS, use the Windows Device Manager instead. Though not the preferred method, it should work fine in most cases. Follow these steps to access the Windows Device Manager:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run
2. In the dialog box that appears type "devmgmt.msc" (without the " ")
3. Click OK
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. With Classic View enabled, double-click Device Manager
The Windows Device Manager lists all devices installed on your computer and organizes them by category. Categories are identified by a plus (+) when collapsed, or minus (-) when expanded. Clicking a plus (+) opens a category and displays the included devices. The process of disabling devices from the Windows Device Manager is the same for all devices. Here is an example of how to disable the computers Parallel Port 1 (LPT Port 1):
1. Click on the plus next to the category "Ports (COM & LPT)"
2. Right-click the entry "Printer Port 1 (LPT1)"
3. Click Disable
4. When the message "Disabling this device will cause it to stop functioning..." appears, click Yes.
The device will now be displayed with a red X over its icon, indicating that it has been disabled.
Recommended devices to disable include built-in sound cards (located under Sound, video and game controllers), Network Adapters (Ethernet & Wireless controllers), Modems, Bluetooth, and any unused COM ports.
WARNING: DO NOT disable any device unless you are sure about how it will affect your system. When in doubt, contact your computer manufacturer.
Some items that should never be disabled or un-installed are:
- System Timer (always IRQ 0): Mandatory. Cannot be disabled or shared.
- Computer Keyboard (always IRQ 1): Mandatory. Cannot be disabled or shared.
- Interrupt Controller (always IRQ 2): Mandatory. Cannot be disabled or shared
- System CMOS / Real Time Clock (always IRQ 8): Mandatory. Cannot be disabled or shared.
- Numeric Data Processor (always on IRQ 13): Mandatory. Cannot be disabled or shared.
- Display adapters: Mandatory. This represents the screen you are looking at.
- Processors: Mandatory. The processor runs your computer.
After disabling the unused devices, restart your system. Test your device to see if the problem (pops/clicks, device not installing, device ceasing to function) is resolved. If you have a USB device, test your device on all USB ports. Disabled devices can easily be enabled as needed. For example, if you need the Wireless controller to access the Internet, right-click your Wireless controller from the Windows Device Manager and select Enable.
Moving PCI / PCI Express Cards
If the IRQ assignment is still the same or you still experience problems, we recommend the following: For FireWire devices and USB devices, installing a PCI / PCI Express expansion card with those port connections will most likely be assigned a different IRQ. A PCI / PCI Express card also has the added advantage of being able to be moved to different slots in the computer which are often assigned different IRQs and share different resources. Delta and Revolution Series cards may also be moved to different PCI slots if they are currently installed on one which is sharing resources with another device. Below are instructions for moving PCI / PCI Express cards in your computer. If you are not comfortable with moving cards inside your computer, it is advised to have this done by a qualified PC technician.
1. Shut down your computer completely.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Open the computer and touch a blank spot on the metal chassis to discharge any possible static electricity (static electricity can damage electronic devices)
4. Physically remove card (if it is already installed).
5. Re-connect all computer cables and start the computer (without the card installed)
6. Shut down the computer.
7. Unplug the power cord.
8. Touch the computer's metal chassis again to discharge any possible static electricity.
9. Install the card.
10. Connect all wires.
11. Start the computer.
Check if the IRQ assignment has changed and to see if the problem persists. If the problem is still there, you might have to repeat the process above and move the card to another PCI slot; or you may have to disable more devices in your computer that you are not using. Intermediately and after making changes, restart and test again.
In most cases, providing free resources by disabling unused devices in combination with moving the card to other PCI slots should resolve the problem. In some very, very rare cases, you might still be stuck with an IRQ conflict and it might take more extreme measures to get rid of this problem.

|ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in low-resource countries. One contagious patient can infect 10 to 20 contacts in these settings. Delays in diagnosing TB therefore contribute to the spread of the disease and sustain the epidemic. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess delays in diagnosing tuberculosis and the factors associated with these delays in the public hospitals in Moundou and Ndjamena, Chad. METHODS: A structured questionnaire was administered to 286 new tuberculosis patients to evaluate patient delay (time from the onset of symptoms to the first formal or informal care), health-care system delay (time from the first health care to tuberculosis treatment) and total delay (sum of the patient and system delays). Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors associated with long diagnostic delays (defined as greater than the median). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The median [interquartile range] patient delay, system delay and total delay were 15 [7-30], 36 [19-65] and 57.5 [33-95] days, respectively. Low economic status (aOR [adjusted odds ratio] =2.38 [1.08-5.25]), not being referred to a health service (aOR=1.75 [1.02- 3.02]) and a secondary level education (aOR=0.33 [0.12-0.92]) were associated with a long patient delay. Risk factors for a long system delay were a low level of education (aOR=4.71 [1.34-16.51]) and the belief that traditional medicine and informal care can cure TB (aOR=5.46 [2.37-12.60]). CONCLUSION: Targeted strengthening of the health-care system, including improving patient access, addressing deficiencies in health-related human resources, and improving laboratory networks and linkages as well as community mobilization will make for better outcomes in tuberculosis diagnosis.

In 1862 you could hear the whistle of the train and smell the sawdust in the air as furniture companies were springing up on every corner in Grand Rapids. Newly arrived immigrants, settlers from the eastern seaboard and young Grand Rapids men were ready to work hard to make their success in the burgeoning new industry.
Charles Sligh was 12 and started working for Berkey & Gay, the leading furniture manufacturer of its day, first on the shop floor and ultimately as a road salesman traveling to all parts of the United States. In 1880 he started Sligh and dared not dream what the company would become or how long it would last. While Sligh factories, products and people have changed many times since then, there is one thing that never changes: every product is designed and made with an enormous amount of pleasure and pride.

YWCA Toronto Women of Distinction Awards 2014
What an amazing night!
Thank you to this year's YWCA Toronto Women of Distinction Awards recipients, sponsors, and of course our guests for an uplifting celebration of the work being done to improve the lives of women and girls in this city, and around the world.
Inspired, excited, motivated – this is what we heard buzzing around the reception area when the ceremony ended and the after-party started. Everyone who attended left feeling connected to each other and to YWCA Toronto.
From Health & Sports recipient, Brenda Andress' entreaty that we just be ourselves, since 'everyone else is taken', to Social Justice recipient Akua Benjamin's rally call of 'no justice, no peace', our award winners' speeches renewed our hope for a better future for women and girls in our city. Invigorated by our recipient's remarkable lives and accomplishments, the event brought over 1,000 people together to honour their work to improve the lives of women and girls.
The YWCA Toronto Women of Distinction Awards was a great success for our organization and the women and girls we serve, raising over $700,000 in donations for the twenty-five programs YWCA Toronto offers across the GTA.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, your generosity is deeply appreciated.

WE VALUE YOUR FEEDBACK. Take a short survey.

A Texas woman got revenge on her cheating husband and his mistress by taking out a classified ad in the local paper.
The listing reads: "I would like to say congratulations to Shara
Cormier and Patrick Brown. They are expecting a baby. Hope you both are
really in love and I hope it works out.
Patrick's wife, Timeshia Brown."
It's not clear when the ad was published but it was shared on Reddit and posted on Facebook.

I really like this top!! However, I went to Shopko today and found the exact same top!! It was the same material, design, and pattern....for a lot less!!! I was not happy when I found this out! I thought Maurices had their own brands and clothes??
