Medjool dates - oh my God. I have never actually eaten these until recently so I never knew how beautiful they tasted. They are just so fluffy, and gooey, and multi-textural and sweet and they make me contemplate the meaning of life.
Why do people eat candy when these bad boys exist? They are nature's marshmallow toffees.
i finally bought some fresh medjool dates! jesus! they are gorgeous! a bit expensive but nom nom nom
today i ate chocolate cake.
guilty guilty cake!
Well today i did about bi-polar disorder at college.
It all seamed to close to home. I have suffered with depression on and off for about 6 years. Some days are worse than others, the bad days are the ones where i sleep for 16hours, then have no energy and have thoughts of suicide. this can last for a couple of hours or weeks. This is really bad after fetish play.
Today i realised that maybe i don't have on/off depression maybe its something else. then they started talking about manic highs…. this led me to thinking maybe my exercise behavior was my highs… when i feel everything is moving to slow and im finally at a speed that makes sense for along portion of the day, i sit and twitch because i need to do something. maybe my cycles of fetish play are when i'm on a high. i feel like i need sex now! i need to feel something! i go from wanting sex 2-6 times a day with a lot of what is considered dangerous play to wanting no sex at all. I my highs arn't manic, but im scared they might get there.
i assume that this is considered normal mental health? maybe it is? maybe we're all bananas!
chaturanga's are my favourite
my body just won't do this! stupid arms!

Book Description:
A classic in its field, this pathbreaking book humanized thescientific rhetoric of economics to reveal its literary soul.Economics needs to admit that it, like other sciences, works with metaphors and stories. Its most mathematical and statistical moments are properly dominated by comparison and narration, that is to say, human persuasion. The book was McCloskey's opening move in the development of a humanomics, and unification of the sciences and the humanities on the field of ordinary business life.

Major retrospective on Manchester artist, Emmanuel Levy- the first for over 30 years. 'Made in Manchester: The Art of Emmanuel Levy (1900-1986)' explores Levy's Mancunian heritage and showcase his talents as a painter, writer and teacher.
Born in Manchester in 1900 Levy studied at Manchester School of Art, where he trained under Adolph Valette, alongside L.S. Lowry with whom he remained friends. Levy held his first one-man show in Manchester in 1925, with others following throughout the 1920s and 1930s. In 1928 Levy was appointed special instructor in life drawing at Manchester University School of Architecture, succeeding his former tutor, Valette. In the 1950s and 1960s he went on to lecture at Stockport College of Art. To supplement his income, Levy was also Art Critic for the Manchester Evening News. Retrospectives of his work have been held across the country, the last being at Stockport Art Gallery in 1982.
Levy's Northern heritage is shown through works such as 'Snow in the North' and 'Raiders Overhead' where the setting is Levy's home during a World War Two air raid. Levy's Jewish roots are reflected through works such as 'Two Rabbis with Scrolls of the Law' (illustrated) and 'Crucifixion', painted by Levy in response to the Holocaust. The exhibition also showcases Levy's skills as a portrait artist, through arresting portraits such as 'Girl at a Window' and sketches of contemporary artists such as L.S. Lowry.
The exhibition draws primarily from the collection of Ben Uri, The London Jewish Museum of Art, who have also curated the show with the museum. Additional works are on loan from city galleries in Manchester, Leeds, Salford and Doncaster and from private collectors.

Classic Strawberry Shortcake
By Emily Paster
This past weekend was Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer. It was a busier-than-usual weekend at my house. Saturday, my husband took our daughter to a NHL playoff game, which the Blackhawks won thankfully. My husband and I celebrated our eleventh wedding anniversary on Sunday with a dinner out — a review of that meal coming later this week. So by Monday, we were ready to grill and have dinner at home on our deck. Alas, the cool and rainy weather made it feel much more like spring than summer, and there was no eating outdoors to be had. But, at least my Memorial Day menu felt like summer.
Monday's dinner was grilled chicken sausage, grilled farmers' market asparagus, orzo with roasted vegetables and, for dessert, a classic strawberry shortcake. Strawberry shortcake has to be the perfect Memorial Day dessert: seasonal and classically American. I wish I could say that the strawberries were local, but the strawberries haven't arrived at our farmers' market yet. So I made do with supermarket berries, which were fine, especially once I macerated them with some sugar and Grand Marnier.
I am on a never-ending quest for the perfect strawberry shortcake recipe. Should the shortcake be fluffy like a biscuit or flaky like a scone? Should it have just a hint of sweetness or be as rich as cake? Drop biscuits or cut? Round, square or triangles? I mostly think of strawberry shortcake being made with biscuits — an individual serving for each guest – but some people think of it as a cake-like dessert that is cut into individual pieces.
The term "short cake" refers to the fact that the fat — that is to say, the shortening — is cut into the dry ingredients. Crumbly shortcake dough has been around for centuries, but combining shortcake biscuits with whipped cream and berries is an American invention dating back to the middle of the 19th century. In its original form, American strawberry shortcake used a heavy pastry that was more like pie dough than the biscuits we use today. Interestingly, the popularity of strawberry shortcake coincided with the advent of the transcontinental railroad which allowed for berries to be shipped from coast to coast packed in ice. What a concept!
I posted a recipe for strawberry shortcake a few years ago that was adapted from a recipe in Rustic Fruit Desserts. While that is my all-time favorite American dessert cookbook, I don't think the shortcake recipe is a keeper. For one thing, it calls for cornmeal, which I'm sure is supposed to be rustic, but to me, just makes the biscuits grainy. And the only fat in the recipe is cream — no cold chunks of butter to give the shortcakes a flaky, biscuit-like texture. So, I have abandoned that recipe in favor of a simpler one that I have adapted from Joy of Cooking. This recipe makes a shortcake that is somewhere between a cream scone and a slightly sweetened biscuit. I think the orange zest is crucial: it really brightens the flavor of the biscuit and orange combines so well with strawberries.
Macerating the berries in a combination of sugar and Grand Marnier echos the orange flavor in the biscuits. I recommend macerating the berries well ahead of time — especially if they are less than perfectly ripe. You can even do it in the morning if you are planning to serve the shortcake as dessert that evening. The longer the berries macerate, the more juice they will release and the result with be a syrupy liquid that the shortcake biscuits will absorb. As summer moves along, feel free to use this shortcake recipe with other berries and even stone fruits, such as peaches.
Classic Strawberry Shortcake
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 TB sugar
Zest of one orange
6 TB cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
2 TB Melted butter
Turbinado sugar
For the filling:
2 qts strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 TB sugar
1 TB Grand Marnier (optional)
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, the salt and the orange zest. Cut in the pieces of butter using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and cream and stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Gather the dough in your hand and knead it against the side of the bowl until all the pieces are incorporated. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut the dough into six equal wedges and place the wedges on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, combine the sliced strawberries with 1 TB of sugar and the Grand Marnier, if using, in a bowl. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until serving. (You can do this step several hours in advance and the strawberries will break down and release their juices even more.) To make the whipped cream, pour the cup of heavy cream into the bowl of a standing mixer and whip it at the highest speed. (Chill the bowl ahead of time if possible.) Gradually add the remaining TB of sugar and the vanilla extract.
To assemble, split the biscuits in half. Spoon 1/6 of the berries over the bottom of the biscuit and top with whipped cream. Add the top half of the biscuit at a angle.Repeat with the remaining biscuits.

Wichita--The days of standing in line at the unemployment office no longer exists. That is because unemployment offices no longer exist in Wichita.
For many Wichitans who have lost their job this is frustrating news as they have to go through call centers and are having trouble getting through.
Officials at the unemployment office say they are aware the public is growing impatient with their more efficient, high tech system.
They say with the current economy not getting any better, and the added workload of extended benefits, the number of calls can reach up to a 1000 a day.
For those people who want to talk a person face to face there is the workforce development center in downtown Wichita. It is a resource center with computers, if you want to file for unemployment online.
There is also a representative from the call center there to answer questions and to help people with any problems they might have.
There are three call centers for Kansas, one in Wichita, one in Topeka and one in Kansas City.
KAKE News has learned the best time to get through on the phone is Wednesday or Thrusday at around 8am.
But if you choose to file online here is how it works. You can log on to kansasjoblink.com, the hours for internet services are extended from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In many real-life situations, it is very difficult or even impossible to directly measure the quantity y in which we are interested: e.g., we cannot directly measure a distance to a distant galaxy or the amount of oil in a given well. Since we cannot measure such quantities directly, we can measure them indirectly: by first measuring some relating quantities x1 ; : : : ; xn , and then by using the known relation between x i and y to reconstruct the value of the desired quantity y. In practice, it is often very important to estimate the error of the resulting indirect measurement. In this paper, we describe and compare different deterministic and randomized algorithms for solving this problem in the situation when a program for transforming the estimates e x1 ; : : : ; e xn for x i into an estimate for y is only available as a black box (with no source code at hand). We consider this problem in two settings: statistical, when measurements errors \Deltax i = e x i \Gamma x i are inde...

A Study of the Relationship Between Distributive Education Students' Perceived Degrees of Job Satisfaction and On-the-job Training Grades They Received
Fey, Steven L.
MetadataShow full item record
The problem. This research studied the degree of job satisfaction of graduates of the Urbandale High School Distributive Education program from its beginning in 1966 through the 1972 school year. It also attempted to determine whether or not there was any relationship between students' perceived degrees of job satisfaction and the grades they received for their on-the-job training experiences while enrolled in the Urbandale High School Distributive Education program. Procedure. One hundred forty-one graduates of the Urbandale High School Distributive Education program were asked to respond to a rating-type questionnaire that listed six different degrees of job satisfaction. Each of these degrees was assigned a point total--six points for the highest degree of satisfaction and one point for the lowest degree of satisfaction. There were five different questions relating to each graduate's job satisfaction. The combined responses to these questions are tabulated and presented in various tables, charts, and in descriptive discourse. Grades received for on-the-job training were obtained from each graduate's permanent file in the guidance department. These grades, the Pearson Product-Moment formula, and the point total as described previously were used to obtain the coefficient of correlation between the on-the-job grades and the graduate's degree of job satisfaction. Conclusions. This study indicated that the graduates of the Urbandale High School Distributive Education program were satisfied to a high degree with some specific aspects of their present jobs. It also revealed that there is no relationship between the degrees of job satisfaction and the grades received for the on-the-job training experiences. Also, approximately one-fifth of the respondents were dissatisfied with the kinds of on-the-job training experiences available to them and many of the respondents indicated that they would have liked more outside resource persons brought into the classroom. Some of the respondents felt that more field trips could be used and that the program could be better publicized.

Customer Reviews of Viewsonic PJD6221 Multimedia Projector - 1024 x 768 XGA - 4:3 - 5.95lb - 3Year Warranty
great for the price3/21/2012
If this had an HDMI input it would be the perfect projector for it's price range. The resolution rating, SD /vs HD is based on the video input. You can obtain 720p using the RGB input if your video card supports that high an output. Even then, I can see little difference in the picture quality even using the single RCA video input versus the RGB at 1024 x 768 from my computer. It throws a crisp bright picture that can be watched even in moderate light. The colors are bright along with the nearly 6'x9' image I'm getting with about 30 feet throw to the screen. Great features that you would expect from a much more costly projector. Great choice for a home theater projector...using a WD TV Live Plus connected to 2 external hard drives and internet connection for streaming movies, and a 5.1 channel surround hooked in with digital line. All I need now is a nice leather recliner. And we shopped for months...
Reliable Product12/26/2011
I needed a low cost multimedia projector that I could take with me while traveling. While the Viewsonic projector is a little heavier than I would have liked, the great 1280 x 1024 resolution coupled with a 3500 hour lumen rating, ethernet port and three year warranty was a great find. My only disappointment was the fact that the Viewsonic PJD6221 did not come with an HDMI port and only a VGA port.

Alice Springsby Nikki Gemmell
Synopses & Reviews
"In this stunning novel, Australian writer Nikki Gemmell writes of extremes: of blacks and whites, trust and betrayal, love and the empty openness of loss. She situates her story in the Australian outback which is described with a toughness and a lyricism that reflects her narrator's soul as profoundly as it conveys the landscape itself. Phillipa 'Snip' Freeman, the narrator, is a young and fiercely independent woman who has received a large check and a mysterious note upon her grandmother's death in which she is instructed to 'hunt' her father 'down.' She embarks on a quest with a truck and a traveling companion named Dave, a man who evokes all that Snip experiences in the world of men: love, fear, disappointment. They travel into the Australian interior where she finds not only her father but also truths that reframe her perceptions of her past, her future, and her very being. This novel is a best-seller in Australia and is certainly deserving of such a standing in this country. It is a lovely work, a coming of age piece, the maturing of a young woman into a new frontier of soul and experience that comes to look a bit like salvation." Reviewed by Andrew Witmer, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
An achingly beautiful story of love, loss, and redemption is set in the breathtaking Australian desert as a girl hunts down her father in the communal land of the Aborigines.
About the Author

Her first book, Shiver, was a bestseller in Australia and has been optioned for film by Roger Donaldson, the director of Dante's Peak and Species.

Tottenham defeated Arsenal at White Hart Lane on 4th April, 1983 by 5 – 0 and full back Chris Hughton scored twice. It was a memorable match for every Tottenham and an instantly forgettable one for every Arsenal fan. Other matches on 4th April include a nine goal thriller against Ipswich Town and a controversial FA Cup semi-final defeat to the other team in north London.
On This Day
4th April, 1983
A Great Day, A Great Game, A Great Result!
Tottenham Hotspur 5 Arsenal 0
Scorers: Hughton (2), Falco (2), BrazilA result for all Spurs fans to savour and remember for ever. It was Tottenham's biggest win over their north London neighbours and only the second time Spurs had scored 5 against Arsenal. On Christmas Day, 1911 Spurs managed a similar score line in only their fifth meeting in the football League. It is a result that we all look forward to seeing repeated some day, in the not too distant future. (I hope).
Spurs' injury problems had persisted throughout the season. To strengthen the squad Alan Brazil was signed from Ipswich for £450,000. He made his debut against Watford and Spurs won 1 – 0, their first away win since September. Steve Perryman, however, was sent off and the second game of his two match suspension was this game against Arsenal.
Going into this Easter Monday game, Spurs were a point ahead of Arsenal but had lost at bottom club, Brighton, the previous Saturday. Spurs were also without the injured Glenn Hoddle, Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa and went into the game with 4 strikers, Mark Falco, Steve Archibald and Terry Gibson as well as Brazil.
The 92nd League game between the clubs was memorable for Spurs, described in 'The Times' as,
'not so much a famous victory for Tottenham Hotspur but an embarrassing humiliation for Arsenal.'
Spurs were three ahead ahead within 18 minutes. Hughton scored the first and third goals but the second goal after 13 minutes was a stunning volley from Mark Falco. A goal described by manager, Keith Burkinshaw as 'the best goal I've seen in a long time.' Mark Falco also scored a second and Alan Brazil spurned many opportunities to score his first goal for Spurs but eventually scored after an hour.
Team: Clemence; Hughton, O'Reilly; Roberts, Miller, Gibson, Mabbutt, Archibald, Galvin, Brazil, Falco.
Spurs finished the season in 4th place, 11 points ahead of Arsenal in 10th position.

Now my mom an' dad broke up when I wa 4 years old
When I was seven she went and got herself another man; it was hell, y'all
I left home 'fore I was 14 years of age; I figured I'd do better on my own
But then followed eleven years of bumb'lin' around and livin' kinda hand-in-mouth
Sometimes gettin' locked up an' somet- sometimes just goin' cold and hungry
I didn't have me no real school education, so what in the hell what I was gonna be able to do?
But I always did pick on the guitar; I used to put the hat out for spare change
But now I'm makin' this here record and I'm still tryin' to get your spare change
I don't know why went wrong but it ain't bad now
And I just keep playin' my dog house music

Yeah; I was Alpha, Beta, and a long time player on GW1, and although this is not the same setup server wise I know how they were and I imagine still are about impression, play-ability, and value to the customer. As for this rendition I have not as of yet jumped in. I am having a bit of difficulty paying $70 for a game with any kind of subscribablity in it as it makes no sense to me. $30- even 50.00 I can do, $69.99+ a monthly fee fricking really. Of course I do not know the details yet the firt GW was a no subscription deal this could be the same but I was under the impression it was a monthly subscriber!
Nope, no fees.
I checked and that moves it right back into consideration it is supposed to have great graphics etc.
My sister has been playing this game a lot the past week, so i thought i would give it a try. I just started playing it to day, but right now its pretty good. However where many mmos start to lose me is their end game content. Only level 10 atm and will have to wait to see how i feel about this game later on.
Good for them for trying to resolve the issue rather than just worrying about how to rake in the cash. Whether or not they should have already had the infrastructure in place is another matter. It'd be great if the game does really well, I like the model they use.
I love that they are valuing quality over quantity. It really shows character. Of course if they let the same thing happen to them as Blizzard did, they'd get a bad rep.
There are a lot of great things in the game, but it still only took a week to become pretty boring.

New Z925M Flex Fuel model offers alternative fuel option for landscape contractors.
Even when the chicks have left the nest, they never really leave.
We have a small flock of chickens and designed a chicken waterer from a recycled 5-gallon plastic bucket.
Using a fine-toothed narrow-bladed handsaw, we cut a horizontal half-moon hole on each side of the bucket, starting one-third to halfway up from the bottom of the bucket. The hole is about 8 inches wide and 6 inches high. The water stays clean despite the chickens' tendency to scratch all around it, and it is easy to rinse and refill. We also saved and reused the lid; this was an added bonus.

I get asked from people curious about feminism about which behaviors are considered "empowering" and which ones aren't.
"I heard women find dressing provocatively on Halloween empowering."
"I heard women find being submissive in bed empowering."
"I heard women find wearing pant suits instead of skirt suits empowering."
If only power were this arbitrary.
My first gut reaction to hearing the word "empowerment" like this is to wonder why women are seen as so helpless that they have to act out in minuscule ways to feel any source of power. Like come on, we know that women are just as apt as men at dominating in their academics, careers, talents, so on and so on. Yet it's wearing a Wonderwoman costume with a push-up that people like to exalt as empowering. There is more to a woman than her body, her sexuality and her appearance. Why can't we break free of this?
Additionally, statements about "empowerment" lump women into one monolithic entity. Where one woman derives a sense of empowerment, another woman might not. Empowerment is not about an arbitrary checklist of preferences; it's about an individual's sense of self. There has been all this debate about whether dancers/strippers are "empowered" or if they're slaves of the patriarchy. To me, dancing as a profession is just another arbitrary preference that, in and of itself, cannot be labeled as empowering or not. It is not the job itself that is empowering or disempowering but one's own desire or lack of desire to do it.
The bottom line is that as long as you are doing what you want, you are empowered. Not because society tells you it's right or wrong but because you truly desire it. Empowerment does not accumulate like coins in a jar every time you perform a certain action; it is a state of being. Empowerment means neither actively abiding by nor actively breaking society's rules. Empowerment means putting your personal preferences and dreams and ambitions above the rules. It means wrestling the power to dictate your life from society and making it your own.
Great article overall, but I really I love this last line as it can apply to everyone. Live life according to yourself; not our (flawed and arbitrary) human-made rules.

Windows keeps changing the order of my hard disks
About 6 months ago I rebuilt my system which now has
128GB Corsair SSD = C Drive plus unlettered boot partition
2TB Samsung drive split into two partitions which is storage and truecrypt area (the first partition is my data drive)
2TB Samsung drive (media and films)
250GB western digital which is my system back up drive for main and incremental backups
EXTERNALLY (permenantly connecte)
3TB Go Flex drive which is my data back up
2GB flash drive for a specific programme that runs from it
I use Paraagon Back up and recovery 10.2 (free edition)
with a system drive back up and alternat daily incremental back ups scheduled
After a few days of running the back ups successfully I wake up to find an invalid partition messag. Which I eventually traced back to the SSD drive (still happily working as boot and system disk) which in Disc Mananger (win 7 pro) had changed drive number at the last reboot. For some reason it was showing as drive 2 but had changed back to drive 0 as I would expect it to be. So ran a new back up, set new scheduled incremental and again this ran fine for 3 back ups - until I had occasion to turn my PC off. The next time the back up ran I got the same error message and found the drive had switched back to being drive 2 again.
I have not done anything (other than reboot) that should change this
The discs show in the right order in the BIOS and are set in the right boot sequence as well CDROM/SDD/HDD
The SSD is the master on SATA port 2 one of the 2TB is slave on the same port
the other two hard drives are master and slave on SATA port 3 - they were simply connceted to the most accessible ports but I made sure the SSD was first in the sequence. zero is used up by the IDE Optical drives (master and slave) and both ports 1 are empty
I am fanatical about backing up and so concerned about it failing like this. There has been previous thread but was nearly a year old so it reccommended a new one.
It is a gigabyte motherboard (fairly new) with an AMD dual core processor (the other article reccommended an intel specific fix so didnt help)
any ideas as how I can FIX the drive numbers - I really dont care if it is showing as 0 or 2 just as long as it always stays the same

Master, Slave ? IDE used Master, Slave on the one cable, but SATA? Don't they each have their own port and don't have jumpers. One drive per cable per port?

Response to answers
Thanks (both) for responses - I have attached a screenshot of the full disc manager - it doesnt all fit on the screen but the only things below are the two physical and one virtual optical drives both on IDE. Today the C drive is correctly shown as Drive 0 so the back up runs. However as you can see from the other screenshots it can alternate between being drive 0 and drive 2 - the only thing that happened between these two screen shots was a system restart. Looking at the screenshots I notice that other drives randomly change letters too
Sorry I did realise that they were not actually master a slave drives, being SATA, but this is simply how they labelled in the BIOS - I will restart my system now and post a list of how they appear in BIOS
|My System Specs
|07 Jul 2012
BIOS screenshot
I have attached a photo of the BIOS screen
The ordering here never changes with the SSD at channel 2
the next one is the back up drive which is an older drive so may be slower to read than the others and the two samsungs come next - I dont know which is which because they are identical drives. On this reboot the ordering remained OK
ADDED two more shots from BIOS screen showing boot order and HD disc order
|My System Specs
|07 Jul 2012
That's weird how the BIOS lists the SATA ports as IDE Channel master and Slave? I've never seen that before. Maybe because the BIOS is set to IDE mode instead of AHCI mode? How old is that Motherboard, what's the make and model number? It looks like two whole channels are swapping. Disk 0 and 1 become 2 and 3, while 2 and 3 become 1 and 2. IDE Channel 2 and 3 get reversed somehow. The drives are getting detected in the wrong order during the post. BIOS battery low maybe? I think I would reset the BIOS to failsafe defaults and then manually set your date, time, boot order etc.
|My System Specs
|08 Jul 2012
When I read your message it reminded me of something I had seen in the BIOs once but since I didnt understand it I had left it alone.
The integrated peripherals screen had the settings shown in image 1 but I remember that onchip sata type had a setting that could be changed to AHCI so I tried changing this and then found that it allowed me to cahnge onchip sata port 4/5 type to [as SATA type] see screenshot 2. However when I tried to boot I got the Disk error in screenshot 3.
After a bit of trial and error I found that each time I changed one of these two settings it altered my boot sequence to USB data bar first. Once I had sussed this I tried again.
This time it got as far as starting the windows 7 start up logo but then crashed with a blue screen (too fast to read any of the screen)
So I went back and changed just the second setting back screenshot 4 (and reset the boot drive order) but I got the same flashed blue screen each time I did this. As windows tried to start it did offer to "repair the boot up" however I am always cautious about letting windows do anything like this, and since I was fairly certain none of the boot up files were damaged I hit restart normally but got the same blue screen flash.
Changed everything back to my original settings and it booted up just fine which suggests to me I was probably right not to let windows repair itself.
I bought the motherboard new about 18months - 2years ago but that may be no indication of how old it really is, since I got it to replace to replace one which had failed and had to hunt around for one that was the right specs for my processor and memory as I couldnt afford to upgrade those at the time
Is it likely that updating the bios using the gigabyte @Bios windows tool, would likely improve it - for me updating bios is a last resort as I always worry about being left with a dead motherboard. At least this tool connects to the their servers and only offers me one uption (screenshot 5)

I like to joke that if America were closer to Egypt than Europe is, my American art colleague Melissa Wolfe, would have been the in-house curator responsible for "To Live Forever." As it turned out, I could not have enjoyed my involvement with this exhibition more. Looking at this material, reading the excellent catalogue that accompanied the exhibition, I remembered being a kid again, awaking on Saturday morning's and reading my Golden Book Encyclopedia about the ancient Egyptians, mummies, their tombs, and their after-life beliefs. And that's exactly what we brought to Columbus! The exhibition of over a hundred objects of ancient Egyptian art, drawn from the revered collection of the Brooklyn Museum, had all the hallmarks of being an important exhibition for us, but I don't think anyone here could have envisioned how popular it would be. Attendance has been strong and steady ever since the Friday February 13 opening–a lucky day for us after all. The stars were definitely aligned for success.
Finding an exhibition topic that appeals to people of all ages and other demographics is often difficult. French Impressionism seems like a good bet, but as we have found out, ancient Egypt is of near universal interest. Not only was it a stroke of good fortune that we were able to participate in "To Live Forever's" national tour, but the exhibition could not have been scheduled at a better time. We were able to take advantage of the Columbus Arts Festival, which is being held in our own neighborhood for the second year as well as a one-week overlap with COSI's own exhibition "Lost Egypt." What a better way to build excitement in the community than through synergism and cooperation of this sort.
It's been really gratifying to see so many school groups, college age students, senior citizens and especially families come to the exhibition, and clearly, they all seem to be having a great experience, which is the core of our Mission Statement "Great Experiences with Great Art for Everyone." As with all our exhibitions, everyone here tries to make our visitors feel welcome, to make the art accessible, to help explain things while allowing our visitors to have a say too with a variety of interactive moments, where they can share their thoughts and feelings about what they are experiencing. "To Live Forever" offered us an important way to reach out not only to our core audience of Members and art lovers in the community but to people who perhaps had rarely or never visited us.
But back to my own experience, as a curator, I have learned a great deal about the ancient Egyptians and enjoyed sharing it in a number of gallery and community talks and through a program that Nannette Maciejunes, our Executive Director, decided to call "Mummy Myth Busters," although as she pointed out, since we didn't blow anything up, we really couldn't call it "Busters." It turned out to be fun and informative. On two different Thursday evenings, Nannette, Jeff Sims, our Educator for Adult Programs, and I talked about ancient Egypt–and mummies–as they were and are portrayed in popular culture and showed clips of old and new "mummy movies." Boris Karloff was truly creepy. And did you know, for example, that several hundred years ago, mummies were ground up and used as snuff, drunk as tea, or put on wounds to staunch the bleeding? Or that in the 1890s tons of cat mummies were sold to a company in Liverpool, England to be ground up and used as plant fertilizer? Appropriately, I called those "Freaky Mummy Facts."
So, I wonder what Demetrios, Brooklyn's two-thousand year old mummy upstairs in our galleries, would think of all these people staring at him and whispering "Wow!, is there really a body in there?" Actually, just as the title of the exhibition is "To Live Forever," I guess Mr. Demetrios is in his own way "living forever" and getting a lot of attention in the process. It's been a great treat to host him here in Columbus, Ohio.

Don't start your Christmas shopping quite yet… The season I am talking about is hurricane season, which begins on June 1 and lasts through November in the Central Pacific.
Do you know what to expect? Will the 2009 hurricane season be worse than a typical year because of global warming? Do you know what to do in case of a hurricane? Will your house protect you, or should you go to a nearby shelter? Will a shelter withstand hurricane force winds? Where's the closest one? Can I bring my dog with me? But wait; isn't it true that Maui is protected from hurricanes?
To find out the answers to these questions and more, you are invited to the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) on Friday, May 29, from 3 to 5 p.m., when experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS), Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) will present the 2009 Hurricane Season Preparedness Workshop.
The panel of experts includes NWS Meteorologist-in-Charge Jim Weyman, Warning Coordination Meteorologist Ray Tanabe, PDC Executive Director Ray Shirkhodai and Senior Weather Specialist Glenn James, who will discuss the 2009 hurricane season outlook and answer your questions.
This is your chance to get hurricane facts and figures directly from the scientists who develop the data. Learn all about hurricane activity expected in the 2009 season. Hear about PDC services and discuss your household's awareness and preparedness for hurricanes and other potential disasters with NWS and PDC specialists. Find out about resources you can use for understanding tropical cyclones and how to track their movements. Become familiar with tropical cyclone-related products and address other related needs and concerns you may have.
The cusp of the hurricane season should serve as a reminder to be prepared for emergencies of all kinds. The threat of other natural forces always looms in our future, with the potential of inflicting loss of life and widespread destruction. As grim as those possibilities sound, take them as a reminder to prepare for possible emergency situations.
Some of the many resources available for information about what you need to know about hurricane preparedness include Maui County Civil Defense (www.co.maui.hi.us/departments/CivilDefense) and the PDC Website (www.pdc.org—click the "Resources" tab), where you will find printable checklists for making a disaster preparedness plan and disaster supply kit for your family. Create that plan and assemble that kit now, before you need it. That's where the fruitcake comes in. Apparently, that stuff keeps forever.
The workshop is free and open to the public, but there will be room for only about 100 participants. Call Jen Stolpe at 891-0525 or email email@example.com to make reservations.
The workshop will be held in the training rooms at PDC, 1305 North Holopono St., Suite 2, in the Maui Research and Technology Park in Kihei.
If you can't make it to the workshop, read all about it in the next issue of the Maui Weekly.

Centre of community
Last updated at 10:16, Thursday, 22 November 2012
YEAR on from its official launch, the 14-19 Special Educational Needs Centre at Lakes College West Cumbria has become an important part of the local community.
Since the £1.7m centre was opened in October 2011 by actor Mathew Horne, it has been a hub for several activities and events that have influenced learners and people with special educational needs.
Cath Richardson, college principal, said: "The centre has made a difference to all of the students across the college, especially the performing arts students.
"Before the 14-19 SEN Centre was built, we did not have the facilities to offer this type of course.
"We are now into our second cohort and both years have been made up of a diverse group of young people with a variety of learning abilities.
"It is so rewarding to see how their ability to express themselves with confidence has improved and is having a positive effect on their lives."
Students from external organisations have also been able to make use of the centre's facilities.
Mayfield School in Whitehaven, which caters for students aged three to 19 with severe, complex or profound learning difficulties, sends a group of students each week during term time to take part in classes which help enhance their learning experiences.
Students and members of the community have also had the opportunity to listen to top motivational speakers in the centre.
Last month Paralympian silver medallist Karen Darke, gave an inspirational talk about overcoming barriers to achieve success at the Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's annual members meeting, held at the centre.
Earlier this year, world class climber Leo Holding encouraged people to push themselves to be their best.
Mrs Richardson added: "The centre facilities, which include a state-of-the-art technology and a multi-use room, has offered lot of flexibility to the college and the wider community in the past year."
It was funded by a £1m SEN grant from Cumbria County Council and a renewal grant of £225,000 from the Skills Funding Agency.

Lower limb proprioception deficits persist following knee replacement surgery despite improvements in knee extension strength.
Summary of "Lower limb proprioception deficits persist following knee replacement surgery despite improvements in knee extension strength."
Knee pain and disability can persist following knee replacement surgery which may place patients at increased risk of falls. This study investigated the falls risk and the occurrence of falls of people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) before and at 12 months following knee replacement surgery.
Thirty-five patients with knee OA were tested prior to undergoing knee replacement surgery and at 12 months following surgery using the short form Physiological Profile Assessment, which incorporates tests of vision, lower limb proprioception, knee extension strength, reaction time and postural sway. Physical activity, number of falls, fear of falling, pain, disability and health-related quality of life were also assessed.
No significant differences were found between the number of falls pre- and post-surgery (n.s.), with 48.5 and 40% reporting at least one fall in the 12 months before and following the surgery, respectively. Improvements in knee strength, reaction time and fear of falling were evident following surgery, with no improvement in lower limb proprioception. Self-reported pain, function and stiffness were significantly improved, but health-related quality of life deteriorated following the surgery.
The number of falls experienced following knee replacement surgery remained relatively high, which may be attributed to the persistence of impaired lower limb proprioception. Although knee replacement surgery improves function and alleviates pain, people who undergo this procedure may need to engage in rehabilitation following the surgery to reduce the risk of falling. LEVEL OF
Therapeutic study investigating the result of treatment on patient outcomes, Level IV.
