Dear Ubuntu Community,
I am having difficulties to get the WLAN Adapter on my Medion 98300 Laptop to work. The WLAN Card seems to be connected through an internal USB Interface and the Card itself had shown up as a wirelles Network while installing Ubuntu. I have tried a few things earlier, but none of my google reasearches have brought me to a working solution... I am quite new to the Linux System and only knoew a couple of terminal commands so far, so I probably have missed out on a few possible solutions. Maybe you can help me? Thank you very much in advance!
A few minimal technical details:
- AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technolgie TL-50
- NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150
- SanDisk 64GB SSD
- nForce Chipset (I forgot the Version, but deductable from the GPU I guess)
- WiFi: ZyDAS ZD1211B 802.11g
Thank's a lot again! :)
I tried around myself a little and found a guide on the Linux Mint forums that helped! I already had tried to install the linux backport modules etc.
What I finally did was update the linux firmware and run the following command:
echo "options acer_wmi wirelles=1" sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/acer_wmi.conf and rebooted
now I found and could connect to networks, but unfortunately I found, that the link quality was very bad, around 40 to 50. Eventhough my Router is running at high power and is only 6 Meters away! I then switched a few channels, but that did not improve much. Before, under Windows, I had a very good link quality and had the entire 16mbit/s internet connection at disposition, now I can only get about 3-5Mbit/s. better then nothing, but still pretty bad! The "TX power" is fixed on 20dBm and
iwconfig says, that the "Power Management" is off... Maybe the power of the module is set too low?...
I figured that 20dBm is a normal power output. I even tried to change the power using
iwconfig wlan0 txpower INTEGERHERE but, obviously my "Card" does not support more then 20. More would probably be illegal as well, so I won't even use more then 20.
I guess that I will have to figure out a way, or maybe just switch cards. Are the Mailboard-USB-Connectors on a laptop of the same property as the standard external ones? If so, I could simply solder a micro Wirelless N Adapter onto the board :)
UPDATE3: some further fiddling around seems to have improved it a bit, so that I got 14mbit/s at some point, but it's still pretty unstable! hm...

Getting the Essential Information in Reading: Reading Comprehension Review Practice Exercises
Have you ever read something and then, almost as soon as you put it down, forget what it was you read? We've all done that. Many times we're just in such a hurry and we don't take time to really pay attention to the details of what we're reading. Think about everything you've read today. Can you remember it all? Probably not. A lot of what we read isn't meant to be remembered for any significant length of time. For instance, think of a restaurant menu. When you read it, you need to remember what you read so you know what to order. But aside from that, it's probably not important to remember all the stuff you read! However, sometimes it's very important to remember what you read, and a lot of what you read for school falls into this category. Your teacher assigns you something to read with the intention that you'll learn from it—not just read it and move on. When you want to actually learn something from a text, you don't just read it, you comprehend it. That's what this book is all about.
SPEND A WHOLE day noticing what you read. Keep a notebook with you and record every time you read something. At the end of the day, look at your notes. You'll be surprised at how much you've read!
In reading comprehension, it's important to be an active reader. That's someone who focuses on what he or she is reading and connects with it. So instead of reading like they would a restaurant menu, active readers really learn from what they read. If you're wondering how you can become an active reader, read on!
THE OPPOSITE OF active is passive. Passive means lacking in energy or will.
IF YOU READ every word in this book, you'll have read more than 32,000 words!
The first step in becoming an active reader is to get in there and dissect the text. No, don't rip up the page or anything like that! This just means that you want to read each sentence slowly and carefully, and extract every little bit of information that you can from it. If you're thinking that it'll take a long time to focus so intently on each sentence, you're right—but it's worth the time. When you first start it may take a long time, but as you learn what to look for, you'll know exactly what to extract—and fast!
ACTIVE READING OFTEN requires going back and rereading something to get more information. Count the number of times the word the appears in the previous paragraph.
Every day you come across text that contains valuable information, and every day you dissect text without even thinking about it. Whether it's a travel guide, a recipe, or instructions for how to play a game, you naturally break down what you're reading to get the information you need. With a recipe for example, you ask yourself questions: "What ingredients do I need?" "How long do I bake it?" "When do I put in the eggs?" For a travel guide, you might ask other questions: "When do I go?" "What should I see?" "How do I use the transportation system once I get there?"
THINK OF THREE other things you read every day in order to get information.
You'll notice that the questions you ask have something in common. They all use one of the question words. You probably know them already, but here's a quick review:
- who
- what
- when
- where
- why
- how
When you're an active reader, you look for answers to certain questions: What happened? Who was involved? When did it happen? The answers to such questions give you the basic facts in the text you're reading. Getting those basic facts is the first step on the way to reading comprehension.
FIND A NEWSPAPER article and see if you can extract the basic information by asking who, what, when, where, why, and how.
The following passage is similar to an article that you might find in a newspaper. Read it to find the basic information. First, read it carefully, marking anything you think is important or that you have a question about.
On Friday, October 21, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Judith Reynolds, owner of The Cupcake Factory, arrived at her establishment to find that it had been robbed and vandalized overnight. The front window of the shop at 128 Broad Street was broken, and chairs and tables were overturned throughout the cafè area. Additionally, the cash register had been pried open and emptied of money. The thieves attempted to open the safe as well, but were unsuccessful. Ms. Reynolds used her cell phone to report the crime to the police. She also phoned the proprietor of Primo Pizza, located at 130 Broad Street, as she noticed that the door of that restaurant showed signs of forced entry. The police department is asking anyone with information to call 555-2323.
Now think about the following questions:
- What happened?
- When was the crime discovered?
- Who discovered the crime?
- Where did the crime occur?
The answers to these questions give you the basic information you need to really understand what the passage is about. Here are the answers:
- What happened?
- The Cupcake Factory was robbed and vandalized.
- When was the crime discovered?
- Friday, October 2, at 8:30 a.m.
- Who discovered the crime?
- Judith Reynolds, owner of The Cupcake Factory
- Who called the police?
- Judith Reynolds
- Where did the crime occur?
- at The Cupcake Factory, which is located at 128 Broad Street
Sometimes reading might seem overwhelming because you're given so much information all at once. So, break the information down into more manageable pieces! It's sort of like eating. You don't sit down to breakfast and stuff a whole pancake in your mouth. (Well, we hope you don't, anyway!) Your mouth would be too full even to chew, so you cut the pancake into smaller pieces so it's easier to eat. Well, breaking down information in text is just as simple. Just ask yourself one question at a time, and don't try to understand everything right away. Even if you have to go back and reread to find an answer, just take it one question at a time.
DON'T HESITATE TO mark up the text in this book as you read. Circle, underline, or highlight anything you think is important. Make notes in the margin, or use sticky notes!
Of course, not all the questions you ask yourself will be the exactly like the ones about The Cupcake Factory robbery, but they'll be the same kinds of questions. Suppose you read a passage about ice cream. You might ask:
- Who makes ice cream?
- How is ice cream made?
- Where do they make it?
- When do people eat ice cream?
- What is the most popular ice cream flavor?
- Why are we even talking about ice cream?
That last question is tricky. Think about the robbery again. If you asked yourself why the robbery occurred that particular night, you might have a hard time finding the answer. But there are other why questions you could answer, like why Ms. Reynolds called the police (because her store had been robbed). When it comes to why some things happen, we can't always be sure, and speculation is not fact. So you may not be able to answer some questions, but that's okay!
Even if you can't answer a question, however, it's still important to ask it. Let's go back to that hypothetical ice cream passage. Pretend you've read a passage about ice cream. It's helpful to ask yourself the last question we suggested, "Why are we even talking about ice cream?" It's important to ask that question because, even if we don't know the answer, it'll help us think about why someone wrote the passage in the first place! What was the author's purpose? Is it purely educational, to inform readers, or does the author have a different agenda? That aspect of reading comprehension is covered in Chapter 2, but for now, keep those questions in mind!
Take a look at another passage and see if you can dissect it to get the essential information. Read the passage, and then we'll take it step by step.
The town of Wakeville is looking forward to rooting for their Wakeville Wildcats in the big football game on Friday night. If the Wildcats win the game, they will qualify for the state finals. So far this season, the Wildcats have won eight out of ten of their games, but this Friday, they face their toughest opponent yet. They will play the Tollytown Tigers, who are undefeated this season. The big game will start at 8:00 p.m. and will be played at Wakeville High School's John Reed Field.
Now that you've read the passage, here are some questions:
- Who is playing in the game?
- What happens if the Wildcats win?
- Where will the game take place?
- When is the game?
- Why are the Tigers tough opponents?
The next step is to reread the passage and find the answers to our questions. As you reread, underline, circle, or highlight anything you think is important.
The town of Wakeville is looking forward to rooting for their Wakeville Wildcats in the big football game on Friday night. If the Wildcats win the game, they will qualify for the state finals. So far this season, the Wildcats have won eight out of ten of their games, but this Friday, they face their toughest opponent yet. They will play the Tollytown Tigers, who are undefeated this season. The big game will start at 8:00 p.m. and will be played at Wakeville High School's John Reed Field.
Here are the questions again, along with the answers that we found in the passage:
- Who is playing in the game?
- the Wakeville Wildcats and the Tollytown Tigers
- What happens if the Wildcats win?
- They will qualify for the state finals.
- Where will the game take place?
- Wakeville High School's John Reed Field
- When is the game?
- 8:00 p.m. Friday
- Why are the Tigers tough opponents?
- They are undefeated this season.
See how easy that was? All the information is right there in the passage. All you have to do is dig in and find it.
IF YOU READ too fast, you might miss something, so be sure to go slowly. However, if you don't remember something that you read the first time, don't worry. Just read it again more carefully.
Let's try another one together. The following passage is a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Read through it once and then we'll ask ourselves some questions to get the basic information.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
You will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth
- Beat in eggs, and then add vanilla
- Dissolve baking soda in hot water
- Add baking soda and salt to batter
- Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts
- Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet
- Bake for ten minutes, or until edges are brown
Okay, you've read the recipe. Sounds yummy, right? Let's think about what kinds of questions will lead us to the essential information. What is it that we need to know so we can make the cookies?
- What ingredients do we need?
- How much of each ingredient do we need?
- What do we do first?
- What temperature should the oven be?
- When do we add the nuts?
- What do we bake the cookies on?
- How long do we bake them?
Go back and take a look at the recipe once more. See if you can spot the answers to the questions.
Here are our questions, along with the answers from our recipe:
- What ingredients do we need?
- butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, hot water, salt, chocolate chips, and walnuts
- How much of each ingredient do we need?
- 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of white sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons hot water, teaspoon salt, 2 cups chocolate chips, 1 cup walnuts
- What do we do first?
- Preheat the oven.
- What temperature should the oven be?
- 350 degrees
- When do we add the nuts?
- after the baking soda and salt, along with the flour and chocolate chips
- What do we bake the cookies on?
- ungreased cookie sheets
- How long do we bake them for?
- ten minutes
Again, it's as simple as carefully combing through the passage and extracting all the essential information. The trick is to be an active reader and to really get into the passage. Be curious. Ask yourself questions. There's a reason the author wrote the passage to begin with. There's always information being communicated to the reader. That makes sense, doesn't it? Otherwise, what's the point?
Reading comprehension is about understanding what you read. To do that, you need to uncover the basic information in the text you're reading. To find the basics, you break the text down into smaller bits so it's easier to manage. Ask yourself questions: "What's being discussed?" "Who's involved?" "When did something happen?" If it's helpful, make notes in the margins, circle, or underline text you think might be important.
Just remember to be an active reader—read each sentence carefully and think about what you're reading!

After splitting the first two games in San Antonio, the Miami Heat return to South Beach for two games and a chance to take a lead in these NBA Finals.
LeBron James, who turned in an heroic performance in Game 2, expects the Miami crowd to help them do it.
LeBron on playing Game 3: "It's going to be a white out. (The fans) are going to bring the excitement they've brought the whole playoffs."
— Miami HEAT (@MiamiHEAT) June 9, 2014
I'm not sure how the Heat front office organizes White Outs, but I guess LeBron declaring it one works just as well. If not better.
The Miami fans have gotten mocked very recently for arriving late and being an up-and-down crowd as far as bringing the noise. This postseason, though, AmericanAirlines Arena has been rocking. It's gotten the attention of some guys on TV, even Bill Simmons! It has the attention of the Heat players, too, and now they have come to expect it.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith just released a joint statement SHOOTING DOWN a report that they have separated.
The statement reads, "Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false."
The two add, "We are still together, and our marriage is intact."
Well I hope they are, but such is life, no one is exempt from the temptations of the world.
I guess last month did hit home.Showing off how much money you two have in people magazine.
So May reports,
They have been seperated for 4 months ?
They are Both Gay ?
They are involved with other people ?
They took all day to respond !
Movie Stars LIE !
etc., etc., etc.
Tho Protest tooo much. Could it be Marc and Jada are hooking up. What Lady sits with her legs wide open... check out her pict where her kids won some award. Did not look right. She was silently speaking to someone. I'm just saying.....
Too bad.. He can do a lot better than her.
They always say they aren't breaking up when these rumors start. However, just wait a few months and we actually might see that they have in fact split.
Maybe scientology doesn't fix everything??
and TMZ, you need to look at your auto censor, it's useless.
Now if they would only do something about that terrible show on TNT.
I'd never leave the chic who's down for an open marriage. I mean Jada's super cool,i heard she gave him the okay smash Eva Mendes beautiful self during Hitch's filming. How could u leave a women like that. I mean yea,it sucks when you know she's gonna have some other **** inside of her on the flipside but hey,long as she's safe with. Roll with the punches. Lol
& plus if she still f#cks as hard & passionate as she did in Jason's Lyric (check the counter top scene)...there's no WAY i'd leave the chic!
Now, don't you guys feels stupid.
Marc Anthony was tappin it. Cmon, the timing is suspcious.
....All the right people, in all the right places, have known for years that the Smith union is a merger of contrived convenience, in an attempt to hide the obvious. Will has always been curious, and anyone that has ever known Jada from way back in the days, knows she is beyond curious, she is fully crossed over.
Example: Tupac Shakur and Jada Pinkett were best of friends way back in days before either had acquired much success. JUST FRIENDS??? Yes, just friends, with no benefits might I add.
Now ask yourselves, why would a horny, young, good looking rapper, not be more than just friends with a stunning young female such as Jada indeed was at the time ---and let me tell----the young Jada put Halle Berry to shame as far as stop-show beauty --I have known both Halle Berry and Jada Pinkett Smith since the early years, and Jada was the most stunning of the two hands-down. However, Halle was attainable, yet Jada on the other hand, was not--well at least not to the particular gender group I am a part of-- (cough, cough)
The Smith marriage is a wall of cover, especially for Will---if you need convincing, rent the movie Six Degrees of Separation, starring Will Smith, Stockard Channing, and Donald Sutherland. Now yes, I can hear many of you blurting-- "it's just a movie, and Will was just acting"---the only problem with that assumption is that Will is not that good of an actor---no one is.
In the upcoming weeks, all will witness ubiquitous displays of publicly overt affections, such as ear to ear grins, and long loving gazes between Will and Jada---trust me---it's image control, nothing more, nothing less.
And for those that may scream---"but they have children together"---in Hollywood there exists so many of these contrived unions which have children together, it's part of the deception--- and furthermore, it doesn't mean they've conceived children in the traditional manner, and if they have, it doesn't mean they've actually enjoyed the process.
Will the marriage last??? Hm-mm---maybe Si, maybe No--it all depends on the mounting pressures of maintaining such a monumental illusion....Artofwar
Awesome! Let the kid pimping continue!!

Roy's Restaurant - Hawaiian Fusion?
- m
- Muhlyssa Sep 26, 2001 03:08 PM
Is anyone familar with this chain of Hawaiian Fusion Cusine? They have locations in Newport Beach, La Jolla, San Francisco, Pebble Beach, Arizona, New York, Washington, Colorado, Hawaii and other states.
They just opened one up in Rancho Mirage and since we are going to the desert this weekend, I thought we'd try it. I heard Meril Schnidler interview the owner and it sounded pretty fun.
Has anyone been to any of their other locations and if so, comment on the experience?
re: SusanB
I was at the Roy's in Mauii a few years ago, and still remember the fantastic Hawaiian short ribs. For dessert, we had a great chocalate souffle that the four of us fought over.
re: More of Everything
Roy's food is excellent. Since opening so many outlets the food is obviously less consistent with Roy seldom if ever present. (The original is in Hawaii Kai/ Honolulu) He is one of the forefathers of this type cuisine. Previously worked here in L.A. at L'Orangerie and 385 North. Try fish if it's fresh, and definitely have the chocolate (lava) souffle for dessert.
Have eaten at two of his places on Maui a couple of times, and the one at Pebble Beach. The ones on Maui were better. Lots of fresh local seafood. At Pebble Beach I remember being disappointed in a fish served in a thin saffron sauce - too much saffron, and not enough other flavors. The meals in Maui were good, though not memorable enough for me to provide specifics (they were also a couple of years ago). I do recall thinking the portions on one occasion were small given the prices, but that the dishes were unusual, good, and beautifully presented. I'd give it a go, and please give us a report.
The "Roy" is Roy Yamaguchi. He got his start here in LA, I believe (can't recall all the restaurants he worked at, perhaps Michael's ??) in the early 1980's. He scored a hit with his own place 385 North (located at 385 North La Cienega), which was one of the first Asian "fusion" fine restaurants around. He closed it in the late-'80's or early '90's to move to Hawaii (where he was raised, I think), where he opened Roys. He's now opened Roys' in lots of places. When it opened in Hawaii, Roys' was considered the finest restaurant on the islands, one of the few to offer a "fine dining" experience. Haven't eaten there myself, so can't comment, but I thought some history might interest you.
re: BTraub
Very recently a Tokyo-based English newspaper had the following story.
Have been to Roy's Kahana (about 4400 Honoapiilani Rd in Kahana, Maui) and Roy's Nicolina (named for his daughter, nearby) many times. Have finicky teenage kids who, when asked "what's the best restaurant you've ever been to?", unhesitatingly answer one of these. Surprisingly traditional takes, with intensified flavors, on ribs, local fish, and traditional vegetables - even French fries. Nobody doesn't like Roy's preparations and chowhounds will delight in the "kick it up a notch" intensity without the Emeril kitsch. Don't expect Sedlar-like innovation, but you'll like the low risk amplification of old favorites.
re: Griller141
I have been to the Roy's in Maui and in Honolulu and had excellent meals both times. I understand that he is something of a hero locally for his championing of not merely Hawaiian ideas about cooking, but also local ingredients and growers. I was told that the get-it-if-it's-avaialble item at his restaurants in Hawaii is the wild boar. The feral beasts run wild in the islands and are a dangerous nuisance and ecological disaster. Every once in a while the bounty hunters bring in a few and give them to Roy, and glorious things are said to happen afterwards.
Just arrived home from Roy's in Rancho Mirage. Had one of the better meals we've had in the area....we've been to every upscale restaurant in the desert and this was as good or better then most. Be prepared for the high noise level but if you are not a senior you'll probably love it. Only open five days but jam packed. Call for reservation.
We actually ate at the original 385 North restaurant a couple of times in the early 80's. I always thought that Roy would be a star based on that experience. Everytime we are in Hawaii I keep meaning to get to his place. Speaking of the 385 North La Cienega location, if I am not mistaken wasn't that the old Islander restaurant locale? If so, it was the site of many a high school pre-prom dinner. Does anyone remember it?
...In the very early 80's there was a restaurant built into the hillside facing city lights where The House Of Blues is now in West Hollywood...
called ROY'S. Somewhat asian tilt to the food; huge hangout for the club/music scene of the then Sunset Strip. Anyone know if it was the same Roy ?
re: Bob S II
Most definitely NOT the same Roy. This one was Roy Silver, I believe, in the music business. The place had horrible Chinese food, and was famous for claiming that you needed a reservation to sit at the bar (and watch a lot of coke being consumed).
re: brian
I was new to L.A. and, if you can believe this, wanted the view. Couldn't believe what was going on around me and my memory is that the food was not good. My take back then was that most of what was called food in L.A. was just ordinary.
La Brea Bakery, Patina - they were all yet to come. Scandia was a big deal as was Matteo's. Think Michael's in Santa Monica arrived early 80's.
Thanks for the info.
re: Bob S II
sorry to be a pain....please pick subject titles you yourself would like to see when deciding what to read. Titles like "Question.." and "That's the Place!" aren't helpful to your fellow hounds!
And once a title fits...stick with it. We ask everyone NOT to communicate via titles...do your communicatin' via the messages themselves.
Sorry to be popping up more frequently with these issues today, but we're about to get blitzed with new people, and I'm hoping we can set them a good example re: threadsmanship!
re: Jim Leff
I, for one, like responsive titles. 72 posts that all say, "My favorite Albanian" - while the actual topic evolves - are tedious and usually, after the 25th or so, misleading. I suggest you encourage more descriptive response titles in order to make browsing more efficient and fun.
re: Griller141
We discuss site policy on our Site Talk message board ONLY. Aside from occasional announcements from moderators, please keep these boards chowcentric.
thank you for your cooperation in respecting our requests.

Early 1916 grant. Replaced a previous iteration in 1923.
I can't explain the gap between the grant and the fait accompli, except for a pesky war.
Replaced in 1979.

1904 Carnegie facility, designed by Albert Randolph Ross. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The library was in grave financial trouble in the mid-2000s, was chartered by the New York Board of Regents, and changed to being the Gloversville Public library.
Early 1903 grant. On the National Register of Historic Places, but it's uncertain if it's still in use as a library.

Bobinski's Carnegie Libraries lists Mt. Vernon as recipient of a 1901 grant.
1901 grant according to Bobinski, but the Library's web history places it sometime between 1910 and 1914. 1928 addition dated from 1928. Replaced in 1979: fate unknown.

This Beaux Arts building served as the Syracuse Public Library, 1905-1976.
Today it has been superceded by the
County Public Library.
The Carnegie building's fate is unknown to me, despite one of the best library history timelines ever.
Did you know Onondaga County PL began to use plastic cards in 1978? If you guessed right about that, do you remember its bookmobile recall by Chrysler?
1979, by the way.
Syracuse University also has a Carnegie library, serving as the Science and Technology Library.
1904 grant. Per the Library's site, its architect was Albert Randolph Ross. Opened in 1906. Still in use, after a 1991 renovation.
The Earle H. Parker photo doesn't display the curved nature of the front very clearly on the Albertype card.
The script at top reads:
George Yoron built it your mother
It was addressed to R.P. Stack of Rockford.
(L) This Valentine-Souvenir card was rather old by the time it was mailed in 1946.
(R) This Albert M. Wilson card was mailed in 1911.
1901 grant. Built in 1904. Demolished in 1981. After its eviction, for a street expansion, it moved first to an old
department store, and then to the Otis Elevator Works building.
Definitely a history with its ups and downs.
(L) Souvenir Post Card with added glitter, mailed in 1906.
(R) Hugh C. Leighton card, mailed in 1908.
To the best of my knowledge, the majority of these cards has reached the public domain by virtue of the postcards' age. I claim full copyright on the text, which may be used in citation only. Also, I claim copyright on the scans.
If you have evidence that any of the non-Carnegie cards are really of Carnegie libraries, please e-mail me at (first name)(at)roadmaps (dot) org.

The Matmi Christmas games just keep on coming!
It's a Christmas disaster! Santa's sleigh has crashed and he's only just started making his rounds. How on Earth will he be finished by morning?
Hang on – what's being thrown out of the windows? Pies and brussel sprouts!? OK, Santa knows that kids hate sprouts - but he loves them. In fact, if he eats enough pies and sprouts, he can swap the sleigh for the methane gas converter attached to his ass – and fly through the air with the greatest of ease!Ooooh – careful – what's this? Psychotic, evil snowmen?
Who could have thought that idea up (not me). Don't let them take a swipe at our hero! Make a dash for the sprouts, fill Santa's Sprout-o-meter to the max and let's make sure those presents are delivered in time!Arrow keys to move, Crtl to drop presents down the chimney and refill your sack.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - The status of injured Sabres winger Tyler Ennis is expected to come on Monday when the team gathers at First Niagara Center for practice. Ennis was hurt early in Saturday's 3-0 loss in Tampa Bay when he slid into the next, catching his left skate on the goal post.
The Sabres were shutout in the contest. It was their first road loss of the season. Pavel Kubina, Martin St. Louis and Victor Hedman scored for the Lightning.
Mathieu Garon made 21 saves for the Tampa shutout.
The Sabres face the Lightning on Tuesday, in Buffalo, to open a five-game homestand.

Attain complete emptiness,
Maintain steadfast quietude.
All things flourish
But each one returns to its root.
This return to its root means tranquility.
Therefore let people hold on to these:
Maintain plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.
He who hoards most will lose heavily,
He who is contented suffers no disgrace.
There is no calamity greater than lavish desires.
There is no greater guilt than discontentment.
And there is no greater disaster than greed.
He who is contented with contentment is always contented.

Another heart felt post this week. I feel like all these things need to continue to be pulled from me so that I can continue to find myself in this world. 7 months ago I didn't own a car (well I didn't drive one daily.)

Series: BioLogos Basics (5 entries)
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
In today's video, theologian Chris Tilling discusses biblical genre and the relational truth of Scripture. Tilling notes that when we read the Biblical text, we bring our own presuppositions and assumptions to the text (what theologians call "eisegesis").
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
In this video, Daniel Harrell affirms that science is not the only way to pursue truth. Rather, truth happens in a variety of different ways and each one ultimately leads to an understanding of God.
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.

TV: Watch Sneak Peek for Season 4 of DANCE MOMS
New Year... New Team? What Abby Lee Miller says, goes and when she says, "everyone is replaceable," she means it! For the fourth season of Lifetime's hit docuseries Dance Moms, Abby will take to the road with a national scouting tour in search for the country's most elite young dancers. With the threat of new dancers coming into the company, the dance moms will stop at nothing to make sure their girls have a place to shine on stage, even if it means going up against Abby. The new season of Dance Moms premieres Wednesday, January 1, 2014, at 9pm PT/ET, with new episodes airing Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT. Check out a new trailer below!
To kick off the season premiere of Dance Moms on January 1, Lifetime will debut Dance Moms Special: Guess Who's Coming to the Dance? at 8:00 pm PT/ET.

Nominated for a multiple Teen Choice Awards, Dance Moms follows young dancers' early steps on the road to stardom with their doting mothers in tow for every rehearsal, performance and bow... all under Abby Lee Miller's discerning eyes. The show immerses itself in the highs and lows of the dance competition world and delivers a captivating and dramatic look at the intense pursuit of national dance championship titles.
Dance Moms is produced by Collins Avenue, with Jeff Collins (Dance Moms, Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, The Drama Queen, Fly Girls), Michael Hammond (Dance Moms, Hell's Kitchen), Bryan Stinson (Dance Moms, High Society) and John R. Corella (Dance Moms) executive producing, and Robert Caplain (Big Brother, Fame) and Scott Shatsky (Big Brooklyn Style) co-executive producing, along with Gena McCarthy and Kimberly Chessler of Lifetime.

White & Case's final Middle East head jumps ship to Latham
Readers' comments (12)
This is pretty much unprecedented in the Gulf. What on earth is causing all this? W&C can't be a happy place right now.
Oooh I would love to be fly on the wall in Hugh Verrier's office when his blackberry buzzed with news announcing Macklin's departure. What goes around comes around!
Andrew Macklin is a nice guy so for him to leave so quickly this says a lot. Mr Brettle watch out, things are starting to draw in........
the ship is clearly in trouble - to lose decent finance lawyers in this market is a great mistake and one no well managed firm should fall at risk of doing - as the upturn continues to strengthen those firms that fail to look after (and respect) their good people will be the losers .... losers !
These events distinctly put W&C at a disadvantage in recruiting. Not even a headhunter could, with a straight face, recommend them. What could Ewe possibly have had in mind when he set out on this mad dash of destruction? Oliver, where is your army?
"Mr Kurtz - he dead." Eat what you kill. Origination hogs dominate unchecked. Everyone else scared of the chop.
its not a happy place.
it hasn't been for a while has it Mr Brettle?
Oliver needs to start thinking about his staff. Taking into account all those that have been made redundant, took voluntary and have since jumped ship it doesn't say much for him!
A post on one of the other W&C articles reported that HV received standing room applause at the partners' meeting in Paris. If so, that is applause in the context of all of the pain that the firm has caused - applause over all of the dead bodies. That applause is tacky, and to report it even tackier.
Oliver, Oliver Oliver......... clearly there is a lot more to managment that you thought.
And you're an employment lawyer too - you couldn't make it up!
These kinds of events are the result of lateral hiring strategies that involve the movement of cult followers.
What goes around comes around.
Surely there is a bigger problem here. 13 partners in 5 or so offices do no just walk out of stable law firms. What about the many other partners that are rumoured to be looking around?

A Poem A Day: The Consolations of Sociobiology
The Consolations of Sociobiology
by Bill Knott
I sat at a drive-in and watched the stars
Through a straw while the Coke in my lap went
Waterier and waterier. For days on end or
My case no fours to worship you: Amoeba Behemoth.
—Then you explained your DNA calls for
Meaner genes than mine and since you are merely
Ergo among your lovers I'll never be…
Ah that movie was so faraway the stars melting
Made my thighs icy. I see: it's not you
Who is not requiting me, it's something in you
Over which you have no say says no to me.

Freeman's HR, 5 RBI power Braves past Mets
Freddie Freeman had never faced Daisuke Matsuzaka and said he didn't bother looking at video to prepare for the right-hander. It didn't matter. All Freeman had to see was see Matsuzaka's Mets uniform.
Freeman homered, doubled and tied a career high with five RBIs, powering the Atlanta Braves past New York 13-5 on Monday.
Freeman has thrived against Mets pitching this season, hitting .349 (23 of 66) with five homers and 16 RBIs. For his career, he has 11 homers and 42 RBIs against the Mets, his best totals against any opponent.
Freeman put the Braves ahead with a two-run double off Matsuzaka in the first inning. Freeman made it 6-1 with a three-run homer a dozen rows deep into the right-field seats in the second.
"When you go out there and face guys you haven't seen, my approach is to go up there and be aggressive," Freeman said. "It was kind of easier with guys on base. They have to come after you and they don't want to walk you and load up the bases. He was aggressive and I took advantage of his mistakes."
Terdoslavich working hard to be best he can be
After enjoying a productive Grapefruit League season, Joey Terdoslavich exited Spring Training with the hope that the Braves would at least add him to their expanded roster when September arrived. His arrival in Atlanta came earlier than expected.
But while spending the past two months at the Major League level, Terdoslavich has not gained any sense of accomplishment or complacency. He is still fueled by the determination that he displayed when he spent last winter attempting to learn how to play the outfield while working out with his former high school's team.
"When the season started, I was hoping to get here by September, maybe earlier if something happened," Terdoslavich said. "It worked out that I got here earlier than I thought. I'm getting more of a comfort level up here. But I'm not comfortable. You never want to be comfortable. But things have been going really well."
Will an Easy Remaining Schedule Propel the Washington Nationals to the Playoffs?
Putting it all together…you get a .470 winning percentage. And with the help ofPlayoffStatus.com, we learn that only the Braves have an easier remaining schedule among NL teams.
The Nationals have done a solid job of beating their inferiors, posting a 49-31 record against teams under .500. They'll have a fair share of games against teams of that variety in September, so, if that trend remains consistent, then they may have something cooking, right?
Perhaps. Of course beating sub-par teams doesn't cover it all, just ask, well, the Nationals. They're 18 games over .500 against teams under .500. That's good. On the flip side, they're 16 games under .500 against teams with records north of the .500 mark. That's the equalizer.
Over a smaller scale, however…(basically just a raw breakdown of the numbers instead of the total winning percentage of their remaining opponents that I mentioned above).
Games left against .500-plus teams: 9
Games left against below .500 teams: 17
Medlen looks to keep roll going against Mets
The Braves will look to add to that impressive mark on Tuesday when they hand the ball to Kris Medlen.
The 27-year-old right-hander is looking to continue a string of strong performances. Medlen has allowed one run or fewer in three of his last four starts. In his last start, against the Indians, Medlen pitched seven shutout innings.
"It's one of those things where, I feel like I've honestly clicked for the whole month of August, not exactly how I wanted," Medlen said after his last start. "But I'm not walking guys and I'm being aggressive. That's the me that I know."

Despite of the importance of the role of domestic workers, domestic work is still not recognized as work. Since their work is done in private households, which are not considered work places in many countries, their employment relationship is not addressed in national labour laws or other legislation, denying them recognition as workers entitled to labour protection.
The performance aims to voice out the plight and lives of child domestic workers and raise the public awareness regarding the importance of education and protection for child domestic workers so that they can get a better job and live as adults. It is featured by guest stars who are also concerned with child domestic workers related issues: Imada (guitarist), Ninik L. Karim, and Chef Haryo Pramoe (professional chef).
In addition to the performance, a new publication of the ILO titled "Eliminating Child Labour in Indonesia: 20 Years of Support" will be launched. The publication captures some mile-stones and actions taken by the ILO and its partners, ranging from government institutions, trade unions, employers' organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academia and other stakeholders, in tackling child labour in Indonesia since the year of 1992. The publication also highlights progress made, commitments made, challenges faced and ways to move forward in ensuring a future without child labour in Indonesia.
The launch will be concluded with the appreciation ceremony for relevant partners, including donors, who have actively involved in tacking child labour related issues in Indonesia for the past 20 years. The publication could be used as a useful reference in tackling child labour related issues.
The ILO estimates that 215 million children worldwide are child labourers. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Bureau of Statistics documents that there are 2.5 million of child labourers who are 5-17 years old in 2009.
The ILO is the United Nations agency dealing with work and workplace issues. The ILO has been actively calling for the elimination of child labour, in particular its worst forms, since 1992. Today, the ILO has two programmes dealing with child labour issues: Decent Work for Domestic Workers to End Child Domestic Work (PROMOTE), funded by the United States Department of Labour (USDOL) and Combating Child Labour through Education Project, funded by the Government of Netherlands.

wrong question!
The question should have been 'how will the XP on Mac solutions impact your PC purchase plans?' - in my case, I was going to buy a PC for home for the kids to use (We've 3 Macs at home, and countless at work), seeing as the games all their friends play are Windows-based (and their school is Windows-based). But now I don't have to do that. And I can confirm that Boot Camp works as advertised... unlike Windows!

WardsAuto Fuel Economy Index: 2012 State of the Industry
New technologies and changes in consumer buying patterns lifted the average fuel economy of new light vehicles (LVs) sold in the U.S. to a record high 24 mpg (9.8 L/100 km) in 2012, a full mile-per-gallon improvement over the prior year average.
The data comes from the WardsAuto Fuel Economy Index (FEI), which uses monthly model-line LV truck sales, annual engine installation rates and associated EPA fuel economy rankings to calculate the relative average fuel economy of models, brands, segments and power types. (NOTE: Certain light trucks not included in the EPA fuel economy guide are excluded from the individual and aggregated index ratings.)

Grace Valley, California comes across as a quiet, peaceful community. But it really is a town entrenched in a myriad of secrets. Dr. June Hudson is privy to many such unsettling murmurings and is, in fact, keeping a secret of her own.
As Jim leaves, June's high school love Chris Forrest returns home. Chris had broken her heart years before when he married another classmate and left home. The people of Grace Valley are anxious to tell June about Chris's impending divorce, insinuating that he may be coming home for her. Chris arrives with his twin 14-year-old sons who quickly begin making trouble.
Now, as June busily attends to a number of emergencies, she must also contend with feelings from the past, numerous well-meaning matchmakers, and personal discoveries that will all impact her future.
Robyn Carr brings readers back to her quirky townsfolk of Grace Valley, but JUST OVER THE MOUNTAIN falls short with slow pacing, despite an overabundance of plot, and very little that compels. (Aug., 384 pp., $6.50)

How did you meet?
We met on tumblr in May 2011.
How old are you?
We are both 17.
How long have you been dating?
Since September 11th, 2011
How far apart do you live?
536 miles.
Do your parents support your relationship?
My parents support us. Gabriele's parents are not very happy about the whole situation, and they didn't even know we were dating until July 2013, about a year and 10 months into our relationship after seeing each other three times.
Why didn't her parents know?
When she first told them about me (before we started dating) they freaked out and forbade her to date me. They were narrow-minded, ignorant, judgmental and disrespectful towards me and didn't want to take the time to get to know me.
How did you see each other in person if her parents don't know?
My Mom took me to Pennsylvania. She told her parents that she was sleeping at a friend's house for the weekend and came back to the hotel with my Mom and I.
Why did she tell her parents & how did they react when she told them?
Keeping the relationship a secret for so long was very hard and stressful, and Gabriele was overwhelmed with it and it just came out. At first they freaked out (again), they took her computer and phone away and tried to cut contact, but gave it all back when they realized that they were going to lose her if they continued. If you want to read the posts and updates for more details from when this was all going on, click here.
As of right now, they aren't supportive, but they're slowly accepting it.
How did you tell your parents that you were dating and how did they react?
We were on Skype and Gabbi told them that we were dating. They didn't care, they're used to me talking to people online and they already knew who she was since we'd been friends for a while before we started dating.
Do your parents like Gabbi?
Yes, they love her :)
How many times have you seen each other?
Three times.
When are you going to see each other again?
September 27 - October 11.
When do you turn 18?
I turn 18 on January 5th, and Gabriele on February 1st (2014)
How do you make a long distance relationship last?
This is a hard question. I think the main thing is to stick by each other when things get hard, and not giving up no matter what happens. Communication is also really important. You have to be honest with each other, and you have to be able to trust each other completely. Just like any other relationship you have to sacrifice and compromise to make the other person happy and they should do the same for you. Other than that we try to involve each other in our lives as much as possible by skyping all the time and such. She talks to my family and friends on skype and I talk to her friends. We watch a lot movies and tv shows together. We play pokemon together sometimes. Just anything to pass the time and make you feel closer so you're not constantly focused on the distance. Talking about the future and things you'll do when you're together is helpful too.
Do you follow back/can you follow me/can you promote me?
I do not follow back and I will not promote you so please do not ask. I will check out your blog if you ask me to, but I won't follow unless it's similar to mine.

New fears to homes from Grand Western Canal discharge
Posted: November 23, 2012|
POLICE have closed the road between Halberton and Sampford Peverell because of fears a huge lagoon caused by the Grand Western Canal collapse is threatening homes.
Engineers had hoped that the water would disperse naturally and through a culvert, but this is not happening as expected, a force spokeswoman said.
Officers have now re-closed the road between Sampford Peverell which was opened last night after 24 hours in which the north side of the canal collapsed, draining a two-mile stretch of the canal into fields below.
A Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service pump is on its way to the scene. The plan is to pump water one and half miles away to a stretch of the canal which is watertight after temporary dams were built on it yesterday, thereby draining the lagoon.
The force said it is still possible that homes in Halberton will have to be evacuated.
The police helicopter is flying above Tiverton to provide information and images on the situation to those below. Devon County Council engineers are at the scene.

Today's second cuppa: The Woman. I'm still mulling over The Consultants, so I thought I'd review this one first since my impressions were much more straightforward and clear for this blend.
the woman
Incredibly seductive to any man (or woman): the scent of fresh cookies, hints of cherry, and just a whiff of smoke. created by: Cara McGee
Inspired by BBC's Sherlock, which I am in no way affiliated with. This is created purely for my own enjoyment.
honeybush vanilla, dewy cherry, lapsang souchong
My Review
This tea smells so, so sweet and fruity at first, you can barely catch the smoky hint of lapsang souchong in there. I mean, really, that honeybush vanilla is fragrant beyond imagination. I steeped my first cup at 212 degrees for four minutes, watching it turn a lovely sort of ochre-ombre color. The sweet vanilla scent remained, though not as pungent as when I first opened the bag to transfer it to my tin. (And even opening the tin packs a powerfully sweet punch to the senses.) It kind of reminded me of Jell-O when you first make it, before setting it to chill in the refrigerator; just nowhere near as strong a scent. The steeping also brought the lapsang a bit more to the forefront. Honestly, I was a little worried that it would be overpoweringly sweet. Don't misunderstand; I enjoy fruity, sweet teas, but I wasn't quite in the mood for that just then. Lucky for me, though the blend is sweet and fruity, it wasn't off-puttingly so (Teavana white peach blend, I'm looking at you.)
The dewy cherry supplies a vague cherry essence to the tea with only the tiniest tarty bite I often associate with cherries (though perhaps the vanilla is a mitigating factor?) To be perfectly candid, I was a little reminded of sugar-free Kool-Aid (I drank that stuff like an alcoholic when I was a child.) The lapsang lends a gravity to the sweetness, however, making this a blend with a duality that can be enjoyed down to the dregs.
I've already had two cups since starting this review, so there you have it….
I give this tea 5 out of 5 stars. You can purchase it here, and it's on sale right now (but for a limited time only.)

Tina Williams, partner, Fox Williams
Stay cool during a merger
Readers' comments (2)
If there is one defining element to a successful merger it is that both parties work with a facilitator who will manage all the procedureal elements from assessment of best fit, timetable (setting and managing milestones), through due diligence, data collection/comparison/exchange, managing confidentiality/communications (internal and external) and assessment of cultural and business 'fit'. If there is one common denominator that characterises failure it is the unwillingness to engage and work with independent advisers.
While these short articles can only ever be a summary, Andrew Hedley's articles on making the most out of a merger are more in-depth and therefore more useful. Highly recommended stuff!
