At my workplace, I fully shut down my Windows 8 machine each night before going home. The last couple of mornings, it was turned on when I arrived. Is there some kind of Deep Magic that Windows 8 can use to turn itself on, or is this a clear sign that someone has been turning on my computer before I get to it?
There are a handful of ways a machine can turn itself on from on "off" state. Firstly, modern PCs never truly are off. See ACPI for more information. The computer hardware (not the OS) is checking to see if you press the power button. Other devices can send ACPI signals, such as keyboards with power/sleep buttons. Computer BIOSs can turn a computer on after recovering from a power loss, which is good for machines that need to be on all the time. Wake on LAN (WoL) is another method which can cause a machine to power on.
As for what is causing your machine to wake up, its hard to say. Check your Windows system event logs and see if there are any entries after the time you leave till the time you get in that look pertinent. Your BIOS, might also have some information in its logs.
And the next question, might sound silly, but are you sure you are doing a shutdown and not a sleep?
The only methods a standard PC can "turn itself on" include:
So automatic or unattended power on will involve either someone/something remotely accessing your system or BIOS settings.
EDIT: @Oliver Salzburg has taught me something here - I did not know scheduled tasks could wake a system. Do check that.
No, Windows cannot, but BIOS level functions can. Some more sophisticated BIOSes support wake timers (computer wakes up every morning at 6AM), and some peripherals can wake the system as Darius mentioned. Otherwise when Windows is not booted, no, there is nothing it can do to effect its power state.
I noticed the same behavior on Dell OptiPlex 740 machines that I worked with. Since I had started out with Windows 7, I also had no way to distinguish if it was an OS thing. Someone figured it out how to turn it off here:
So that is one answer - that manufacturers have set the BIOS autostart on weekdays as the default. Exactly how widespread this practice is, and when they started doing that, is a curious question.
In my case, my laptop was resuming from sleep because of a scheduled task.
To resolve it, I followed the steps described in this Microsoft Community Forum post:
Keep in mind Management Appliances like the K1000 that may be in place at your work might have a power policy schedule implemented.
I am using Windows 8.1. If Windows 8 users can use Alarm app, this tip may also work on their computer. My computer was suddenly turned on by itself when I set my Alarm app to ring at 5 in the morning. I had shut down the computer the night before. Since that time, I have been using this app to automatically turn on my computer at specific time.
Edit: I have just checked Alarms app's faq page. The reason why a PC is turned on automatically is not only because of alarms app, but also because the PC supports InstantGo. I have checked my PC and I guess this is also the reason why my computer is turned on automatically.
Check for your BIOS settings. You will find a solution to restart after SHUT DOWN. If your are HIBERATING or SLEEP then go to power settings in Windows.

Dude, if you're going to rip the man at least spell his name correctly. It's "Nader".
But you really should be blaming Donna Brazile!
well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black, mr war supporter.
I can see from the comment at 2 that you can't change your mind. It must be a real blessing to have been born being right about everything.
Re: Water... you can get a home water filter and never worry about all that chlorine. Either go to Home Depot and get the GE under-the-sink filter or go to PCC and the the bulky but effective countertop model (can't remember who makes it but I used one for years without complaint).
Or if you want chlorine free water you can leave it in a jug in your refrigerator with the lid off for 24 hrs.
Nader voter here - you are welcome! I would do it again and might have to...
How's stopping that war going, Dem cheerleaders?
Another 100 billion on its way to his desk doesn't sound like opposition to me.
Oh thats right - withdrawl by fall 08 - another 1000 soldiers and 10,000 Iraqis can die so the Democratic Party doesn't look bad.
By the way...those subpoenas were requested. They are not being issued yet. Lets wait and see what deal is struck by the moderate, milquetoast, middle of the road democrats that dont want to appear "unpresidential."
Do you like to hear celebrities drop the F bomb?
I know I do.
Apparently, I Heart Huckabees director David O Russell has a notorious temper that he often inflicted on the cast and crew. What he didnt count on was Lily Tomlin throwing it right back at him. She says the F word so many times its like shes auditioning for a remake of Scarface.
Fave part: In the car when Lily Tomlin turns to Dustin Hoffman and tells him to SHUT THE F*&K UP!
Warning: This is 100% to awesome and NSFW.
Wm. Steven Humphrey, this ones for you : )
Yes, bottled water is evil. If you drink the stuff regularly, stop being such a tool and just drink from the tap. It's much cheaper, creates less waste, it's more carefully inspected than bottled water, and it often has less contaminants. Just get a filter if you don't like the taste.
Re: the 13-year-old - well, if men can be dumb enough to think that spam-marketed pen!s enlargement and ED pills work, then they'll probably be dumb enough to believe the ninth grade girl wanting to hook up with their 54-year-old ass is real, too ...
Seriously, the whole "let's blame Nader voters for all the ills of the past 6 years" schtick has gotten really old. Did anyone else see Gore the 2000 candidate? How about "thanks Diebold," or "thanks Supreme Court"?
Get over it, Dan. You don't see me saying "Thanks Dan Savage" every time more people die in Iraq, do you?
Levislade is right. Blaming Nader voters is lame.
I *heart* tap water!
Dan, do you have a list of local Nader politicos that we should be wary of?
Blaming Nader voters is lame.
Blaming Nader voters (I was one) is perfectly legitimate. In retrospect I realize that the primary process basically addresses the issue I was trying to raise by voting for Nader so, whoops, my bad. Good thing I was in a state that went to Gore anyway.
The thing Dan (who, as several people have pointed out, was a vocal proponent of the war) does that's lame is, he can't shut the fuck up about the Nader voters.
I would definitely like to see some slog updates on the teacher getting suspended for letting pro-tolerance language into the school paper. I hope you guys stay on top of the story for us. If that principal doesn't get fired, there ought to be some major outrage. Thank goodness our legislature finally had the mind to extend first-ammendment rights to all people, including high-school students.
Blaming Nader voters (I was one) is perfectly legitimate.
Not really. Gore didn't own those votes. Better to blame Florida elections officials or the Supreme Court, or a million other things. People can vote for whomever they want. I personally don't see the appeal of Nader, but no third party would ever become viable if people keep blaming them. Eric Alterman is another person who's made "Thanks, Ralph" a mantra for whenever anything goes wrong, and it's just pathetic.
Dan, do you have a list of local Nader politicos that we should be wary of?
Aww, Dan's little army.
The entire Nader thing: I think there are a few people on Slog and the editor of The Stranger that really really should get over it. Bitch about him all you want to but if Hillary gets the nomination (and if she does I suggest mass suicide for everyone...seriously I do) but he says he will run again.
I would focus on what is coming down the pipe as opposed to what has already happened. Learn the lesson and move on.
Here's hoping one of the losers of the Republican primary runs as a third candidate.
Yeah, after 6 years, it really is tired to blame Nader.
Think back, folks....Gore didn't even win his home state of Tennessee in 2000. So yeah, Donna Brazile and Gore himself certainly deserve some of the blame.
"I personally don't see the appeal of Nader, but no third party would ever become viable if people keep blaming them."
No third party will become viable as long as it appeals to about 2-3% of the population. We don't have a parliamentary system here so people do have to vote strategicly.
Worse than Watergate? Obnoxious shady politics - yes; but worse than Nixon OK'ing the burglarizing the Democratic National Committee and then doing all the lying and subterfuge to cover it up? No way. Let's keep things in perspective and remember history accurately.
People! I may be wrong, but I think Dan writes these snarky remarks tongue-in-cheek. Sheesh!
Dan, am I right?
I personally don't see the appeal of Nader, but no third party would ever become viable if people keep blaming them.
That was my point about primaries-- we have a primary system that allows pretty much anyone to run for the presidency. A situation in which a candidate would have an electoral plurality but would not be able to pull ahead in one party's primary is pretty hard to imagine. And, come to that, how effective is a president going to be if he or she wins with a plurality in a three party system?
Third parties are perfectly viable in the legislature and some state executive positions, but after watching the way the 2006 primaries went I'm not sure there's any point in having a third party run for the presidency.
Mike in MO: this is a long-running obsession of Dan's, and I don't think it's tongue-in-cheek. He might well be doing it just to get our goat, and perhaps he's not as obsessed as he appears to be, but it's still annoying.
I vote for third parties sometimes, and of course people have a right to vote for whomever they want.
What leaves Nader voters open for criticism was their argument that there was essentially no difference between Gore and Bush -- that they were both tools of corporations, and therefore equally defective.
In retrospect, I think Nader voters probably regret that characterization, in the same way that Dan regrets his support of the war. It doesn't mean you never get to state a policy opinion again, but it does mean that you analyze your thinking and try not to make the same mistake.
What? Nothing on Ichiro's TV show where he debates philosophers and scientists?
Guess you guys slept in.
Oh, and Nader is so 20th Century - just ask his comrade, Bush.
does anyone else think that the 18 day gap sounds eerily like the 18 minute gap in the watergate tapes? maybe that's a good omen . . .
As another person who was screaming - SCREAMING - that turning one's back on Gore in 2000 would be a disaster, but was met with the Nader line that Gore wouldn't be any better than Bush - only to see Gore lose the presidency by 180 FLA votes with more than 100,000 FLA votes for Nader, I think I have every right to still be angry.
Yes, time is healing the wounds, but I agree that when Gore makes a great showing on his 1st visit back to Capitol Hill since the election that it is fine, entertaining, and important to mention it again.
Especially as the years go by and the evil doings of Bush come into ever sharper relief.
Yes - it wasn't just Nader (Gore himself coulda done better, Donna coulda done better, the Supreme Court coulda done better) but those factors are less clear cut than the mass delusional Gore=Bush mantra that Nader promulgated. Gore and Donna were giving it their best college try, and the Supremes were backed into a Konstitutional Krisis Korner that 5 of them saw no other way out of.
So I still blame Nader. And I will until the day I die.
Although I do mention it less and less as the years go by - when he gives his 1st speech on Capitol Hill and it's a great speech - you better believe I'll mention it again. And for those of you who still feel embarassed for having drunk the Nader Kool-aid, you'll just have to suck it up one more time.
I think if you're a middle age man who's deluded enough to think that any 13 year old wants to have sex with you, you can be deluded enough to think that the person claiming to be 13 online really is.
When in doubt, remember, the Internet is where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.
Not only is there an 18-day gap - all the emails that were sent by Rove - who is employed by the White House as staff - aren't on a government website and aren't retained - an obvious violation.
Dig deeper. Much deeper. Follow the rabbit.
oh, and @22 - we don't use the votes in the primaries to determine actual delegates that vote for candidates in this state.
Folks -- take a quick break and go eat some vegetables. I'm serious.
Take your vengeance out on Nader voters in states like Florida where voting for him mattered (you can also blame the people who voted for Buchanan instead of Gore because they couldn't read the ballot correctly.
Voting for Nader in Washington State (which I admit I did in 2000) was only symbolic because Gore had the state sewn up.
#13 I share your outrage and hope to keep following this story. I wonder if in the meantime, the students can start an off-campus blog as a substitute while the "grown ups" get this worked out. Since this is taking place in the-Midwest, I admit my prejudice in thinking; the principal will win, the teacher will be fired, the newspaper will be sanitized, and, if somehow this gets to the Supreme Court, the justices will side against the Constitution.
I believe the House committee voted to issue subpoenas, but actually issuing them is another step.
I'm tired of this Nader-voter shit.
It's like this: Nobody in the US who didn't work in the government knew that Osama was going to attack the United States. If that event hadn't occurred, which (along with spineless Democrats) handed W. the support to go into Iraq, the decision wouldn't look as questionable in the collective 20/20 hindsight. Bush would probably have burned himself out quick and been gone in four years.
The problem that Nader-blaming idiots like Dan have to come to terms with is that the Democrats have, over the last 6 years, demonstrated exactly why the more forward-thinking liberals voted for Nader. The problem is that the Democratic party is almost entirely infested with career politicians who have no interest in any move that threatens their own political future. Say what you want about how morally and ethically wrong the Christian Right is, but they sure know how to put all their chips in the middle when the situation calls for it. That's how they win with bad ideas and Democrats lose with good ideas: balls.
I voted for Nader, and I didn't drink the Kool-ade, the people who were too spineless to vote for the best candidate did. Is anyone really dumb enough to think that Nader wasn't BY FAR the best man for the job?
Ralph has saved more lives than any of you Nader-blamers COMBINED by twisting the arm of the auto industry to put in safety belts. BUT he did it without holding an elected office. I would rather see more guys like him that can accomplish more with less than the entire Democratic party. They fucking hold congress and all they can do to stop the war is pass a non-binding resolution.
It looks like 2006 is already shaping up to be The Do-Nothing Congress Part II, filled with Milquetoast democrats that know all you have to do is blame your self-made failures on 3rd party competition to save face. Thanks, Gore-Voters!
Oh, and by the way, Gore actually won the election despite the evil, despicable Nader, which makes blaming him for W. that much more stupid. If the Nader-blamers had had their reactionary heads in Florida instead of way up their asses blaming Nader, maybe he would have held the office he won. Well done!

Published: January 21, 2000
Here is a selective listing by critics of The New York Times of new or noteworthy art, design and photography exhibitions at New York City museums and art galleries this weekend. Addresses, unless otherwise noted, are in Manhattan. Most galleries are closed on Sundays and Mondays, but hours vary and should be checked by telephone. Gallery admission is free.
* denotes a highly recommended show.
''THE AMERICAN CENTURY: ART AND CULTURE, PART 2: 1950-2000,'' Whitney Museum of American Art, 945 Madison Avenue, at 75th Street, (212) 570-3676 (through Feb. 13). Filling the museum's six floors, this complicated, conflicted exhibition once more demonstrates the difficulty of mounting sweepingly inclusive exhibitions with no discernible point of view. It displays hundreds of works in dozens of mediums expertly placed in contexts that constantly pull one's attention outward, toward the show's flickering edges: landmark events, famous personalities, banned or controversial books, emblematic snippets of film, song and television and even the ephemeral. But these do not disguise a discouragingly conventional core and the predictable, severely truncated story told by the objects on view. The many great works in the show's first half tend to be overly familiar because they are mostly drawn from the museum's collection. Moving toward the present, the works become weaker, the choices of artists arbitrary, the sense of history increasingly confused and the absence of non-American artists more and more glaring. Ultimately one senses not an ''American Century'' or even half-century but two decades, the 1950's and 60's, during which American art -- seen in isolation -- held its ground. Hours: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursdays, 1 to 8 p.m. Admission: $12.50; $10.50 for students and the elderly (Roberta Smith).
* ''CELEBRATING THE AMERICAN WING,'' Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, (212) 535-7710 (works on paper through March 26; other acquisitions through Nov. 12). The 75th anniversary of the American Wing, the first permanent installation of early American decorative arts and architecture in an American museum, is commemorated with an extensive show of five-star acquisitions since 1980. (That was the year the wing got a makeover and expansion.) Paintings, drawings, sculptures, textiles, furniture, ceramics, period rooms and things more difficult to classify come within the wing's capacious reach, and its newer prizes, shown in context with older works in the collection, include a dazzling 19th-century quilt incorporating world-famous signatures, a lively early watercolor by Winslow Homer of two small boys with a hoard of clams, a fine group of miniature paintings on ivory, a pair of lavishly gilded card tables by the early 19th-century cabinetmaker Charles-Honore Lannuier and a Colt revolver with gold inlaid scrollwork and a bust of George Washington set into the cylinder. Hours: Sundays and Tuesdays through Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays until 8:45 p.m. Suggested admission: $10 for adults; $5 for students and the elderly (Grace Glueck).
''COLLECTING FOR THE CENTURIES,'' Morgan Library, 29 East 36th Street, (212) 685-0610 (through Jan. 30). The first in a series commemorating 100 years of collecting by the Morgan, this choice group of more than 60 objects includes drawings, printed books and bindings, Middle Eastern cylinder seals and manuscripts of medieval and Renaissance vintage as well as literary, musical and historical ones. Highlights are a Gutenberg Bible, one of three owned by the Library; a 1632 edition of Galileo's subversive book endorsing the Copernican view that the sun is a stationary body around which the planets move and a pair of gold-and-jewel-paved covers for the ninth-century Lindau Gospels. Drawings by Michelangelo, Durer and Claude Lorrain add to the panache of this show. Although it occupies only a long corridor, the show pays proper homage to the Morgan's sinewy acquisition muscle. Hours: Tuesdays through Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays to 8 p.m.; Saturdays to 6 p.m.; Sundays, noon to 6 p.m. Admission: $7; $5, students and the elderly (Glueck).
* ''EASTMAN JOHNSON: PAINTING AMERICA,'' Brooklyn Museum of Art, 200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park, (718) 638-5000 (through Feb. 6). If he wasn't the most exciting painter, Johnson (1824-1906) was a solid one whose mix of corny stereotype and original observation was heavily influenced by 17th-century Dutch genre painting. His narrative focus encompassed rural and domestic life, women, children and old men, and a group of important African-American subjects. Although his name is now overshadowed by Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins, for two decades (1860-1880) he was the leading figure painter in the United States. His boldest endeavor before and during the Civil War was painting antislavery scenes, like the powerful ''Ride for Liberty -- The Fugitive Slaves'' (circa 1862). After the war he became noted for his domestic interiors and scenes of rural life. This show is a worthy tribute to an artist who fused home-grown talent with European training to convey a well-varnished vision of 19th-century America. Hours: Wednesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (first Saturday of each month, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.) Admission: $4; $2 for students; $1.50 for the elderly (Glueck).

Under the employment of the Cornerian Leader, General Pepper, a genius scientist named Andross continues to conduct dangerous experiments which result in an explosion claiming hundreds of lives. As punishment, (General Pepper sends) Andross is exiled to the planet Venom where it is assumed he has no chance of survival. While in exile, Andross discovers a sentient race of lizards and incepts the seed of hatred against the Cornerians in their ~minds~. Five years later, detecting strange activity on Venom, Pepper sends a band of mercenaries, the Star Fox team, to investigate. Consisting of three members, James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar, the Star Fox team travels to Venom only to be betrayed by Pigma and ambushed by the army Andross has amassed. Peppy barely escapes and James is assumed killed. Peppy returns to Corneria to warn Pepper and inform James' son, Fox McCloud of his father's death. Years pass, and Andross mounts an invasion against the Lylat system leaving only Corneria. A desperate General Pepper contacts the new Star Fox team to act as the last line of defense: led by Fox McCloud, Slippy Toad, Falco Lombardi, and finally Peppy, barrel roll expert--actually it's called the Aileron Roll.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — They knelt in prayer, ignored the judge and wouldn't listen to Arabic translations as they confronted nearly 3,000 counts of murder. The self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks and four co-defendants defiantly disrupted an arraignment that dragged into Saturday night in the opening act of the long-stalled effort to prosecute them in a military court.
It wasn't until more than seven hours into the hearing that prosecutors at the U.S. military base in Cuba began reading the charges against the men, including 2,976 counts of murder and terrorism in the 2001 attacks that sent hijacked jetliners into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the admitted 9/11 architect, and the four men accused of aiding the 9/11 conspiracy put off their pleas until a later date. Lawyers were still discussing trial dates Saturday night; another hearing was set for June 12.
Earlier, Mohammed cast off his earphones providing Arabic translations of the proceeding and refused to answer Army Col. James Pohl's questions or acknowledge he understood them. All five men refused to participate in the hearing; two passed around a copy of The Economist magazine and leafed through the articles.
Walid bin Attash was confined to a restraint chair when he came into court, released only after he promised to behave.
Ramzi Binalshibh began praying alongside his defense table, followed by Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, in the middle of the hearing; Binalshibh then launched into a tirade in which he compared a prison official to the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and declared that he was in danger.
"Maybe they will kill me and say I committed suicide," he said in a mix of Arabic and broken English.
The detainees' lawyers spent hours questioning the judge about his qualifications to hear the case and suggested their clients were being mistreated at the hearing, in a strategy that could pave the way for future appeals. Mohammed was subjected to a strip search and "inflammatory and unnecessary" treatment before court, said his attorney, David Nevin.
It was the defendants' first appearance in more than three years after stalled efforts to try them for the terror attacks, in which hijackers steered four commercial jets into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a western Pennsylvania field. Nearly 3,000 people were killed.
The defendants' behavior outraged 9/11 family members watching on closed-circuit video feeds around the United States at East Coast military bases. One viewer shouted, "C'mon, are you kidding me?" at the Fort Hamilton base in Brooklyn.
"They're engaging in jihad in a courtroom," said Debra Burlingame, whose brother, Charles, was the pilot of the plane that flew into the Pentagon. She watched the proceeding from Brooklyn.
A handful of people who lost family members in the attacks and were selected by a lottery to attend the proceedings watched in the courtroom.
The Obama administration renewed plans to try the men at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay after a bid to try the men in New York City blocks from the trade center site faced political opposition. It adopted new rules with Congress that forbade testimony obtained through torture or cruel treatment, and officials now say that defendants could be tried as fairly here as in a civilian court.
Human rights groups and defense lawyers say the secrecy of Guantanamo and the military commissions, or tribunals, will make it impossible to defend them. They argued the U.S. kept the case out of civilian court to prevent disclosure of the treatment of prisoners like Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times.

hehe, made me laugh.
makes dogs vain. cute,
not super special though
food that makes your dog look and feel good (healthy food)
so much so that he takes self-portraits like the myspace pictures vain teens take of themselves.
i like this one better cus it's more creative. dogfood that makes your dog look and feel good is less obvious than a beauty salon that does the same.
although i recognize the visual recourse has been done
Took me a second to get it...might have been better with a box around the dog's head (like some cameras and smart phones show, that zero in on the faces in the photo) to make it a faster read that it was a photo. But still cute and a fun idea. Love his "smile"

Sweet Potato Pie With Candied Nut Cream
- 1 pound sweet potatoes (2 medium)
- 12 graham crackers
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped candied nuts or peanut brittle
- Heat oven to 400° F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool, then halve and scoop out the flesh (discard the skins).
- Reduce oven to 350° F. In a food processor, process the graham crackers until fine crumbs form. Add the butter, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and pulse until moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, using a straight-sided dry measuring cup to help. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until dry and set, 10 to 12 minutes (if the crust puffs while baking, press it down gently). Let cool.
- Wipe out the food processor and add the sweet potato flesh, condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and process until smooth (do not overprocess). Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until set in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Before serving, using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the nuts and serve with the pie.

Beiseker /ˈbaɪsᵻkər/ is a village in the Province of Alberta, Canada. It is approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) northeast of Calgary. It is considered to be an outermost part of the Calgary Region and is included within Calgary's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). The village is surrounded by rural Rocky View County, and the closest neighbouring communities are Irricana and Acme.
Lying in a belt of rich black soil, Beiseker was developed as an agricultural service centre. It was founded by the Calgary Colonization Company whose purpose was to promote settlement by demonstrating the grain growing potential of the area. The Village name comes from Thomas Beiseker, one of the partners and vice-president of the company.[3] Initial colonization took place in 1908 when the company recruited a number of ethnic German settlers from the Great Plains of the Dakotas. This is reflected in the number of German family names which predominate the area.
The Village began to grow in 1910 when the branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed. In 1910, the first general store was opened in a large two story building which housed the school and dance hall.[4] The Grand Trunk Pacific line - now owned by Canadian National Railway - was constructed in 1912 to the east of the Central Business district. Telephone arrived in 1912 and electricity in 1928.[5] With the construction and intersection of Highways 9, 72 and 806 at the northeast edge of the Village, Beiseker came to have a very favourable location in terms of road and rail access. Since it is located almost equidistant from Calgary and Drumheller, Beiseker began to emerge as a local service and trade centre for the surrounding rural agricultural area. Village status was achieved in 1921.
The surrounding area's great potential for grain-growing is shown by Beiseker's status as "World Wheat King Capital", or as a top producing area of wheat.
A school that teaches from kindergarten to grade 12 is located in the village, and Beiseker Community School is part of the Rocky View Schools system.[6]
The village is also home to Baptist, Catholic and Anglican congregations. As Beiseker is at the intersection of three Provincial highways, equipped with a campground and motel it is a popular stop for campers and other travellers coming to and from Saskatoon and Drumheller. There is also a small airport which serves the community, located a few miles east of town along Alberta Highway 9.
Beiseker currently serves as a centre for local agricultural services including fertilizer, seed cleaning, and soil testing. There is also a local UFA outlet serving farmers in the area. Local industries also serve the oilpatch, and there are many sites extracting natural gas in the immediate area surrounding Beiseker, as well as several major pipelines.
Beiseker also has a number of small businesses on its main street offering a variety of services, including a local credit union, grocery store, pharmacist and hair dressers, as well as several small restaurants.
The Canadian office of Lampson International, a large international company specializing in construction cranes, is based in Beiseker. There is also a biomedical incinerator based in Beiseker, which handles medical waste from hospitals in the Province and abroad.
Notable people[edit]
William Samuel McGee (b 1868, Lindsay, Ontario - d 1940, Beiseker) lived for several years on a farm with his wife and daughter just outside Beiseker and is buried in the area. His name was to be the inspiration for the poem The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert W. Service.[7]
Arts and culture[edit]
Several locations in and around Beiseker were featured in the filming of Ang Lee's Academy Award-winning film Brokeback Mountain, including the site of the 'Twist Ranch' that figures importantly in the penultimate scene of the film.
In the early 1990s, the Village of Beiseker began promoting itself with the mascot, "Squirt the Skunk", which included promotional items such as pins and postcards. A "Squirt the Skunk" statue, 13 ft (4.0 m) in height, was erected in the campground near Highway 72. In addition, a "Squirt the Skunk" costume was made so the mascot may appear at village events.[8]
In the 2011 Census, the Village of Beiseker had a population of 785 living in 323 of its 338 total dwellings, a -2.4% change from its 2006 population of 804. With a land area of 2.84 km2 (1.10 sq mi), it had a population density of 276.4/km2 (715.9/sq mi) in 2011.[2]
The population of the Village of Beiseker according to its 2008 municipal census is 837.[9]
In 2006, Beiseker had a population of 804 living in 318 dwellings, a 4.1% decrease from 2001. The Village has an area of 2.84 km2 (1.10 sq mi) and a population density of 283.5 inhabitants per square kilometer.[10]

text: Photographer Robert Capa captures D-Day (55 Photos) By: Rick In: WWII Disliked Liked! Jun 5, 2014 0 0 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter + View as Slideshow 1 Robert Capa's seminal work on the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944 and the Allied troops advance through Normandy to liberate France. As the only photographer in the first wave of the Normandy beach landings by Allied troops, Capa's pictures are the only documents that capture the horror and heroism of the Allies as they disembarked from landing craft into a hail of bullets and sharpnel. "I was in a flat bottom barge that hit the earth of France. When the barge front was lowered there between the grotesque designs of steel obstacles sticking out of the water, was a thin line of land covered with smoke, our Europe, the "Easy Red Beach." The orders came to Life war photographer Robert Capa in London from the United States Army in the last days of May of 1944: You are not to leave your flat for more than an hour at a time. Your equipment must be packed. Capa was one of four photographers chosen to cover the first days of the United States Army's massive assault on Hitler's Europe; he had just enough time to hurry from his apartment on Belgrave Square to buy a new Burberry coat and a Dunhill silver flask. The need for bella figura had been at his core since his childhood in Budapest, where appearances and charm were means to survive. Who didn't trade stories about the mysterious Hungarian Jewish refugee with the mass of dark gleaming hair and velvet eyes? Child-like and beguiling, he was short and moved quickly, as if in flight, a cigarette invariably dangling from his mouth. His disguise was nonchalance. State-less, he glided through battle zones with a confection of papers. He was 30 years old and had already taken some of the most remarkable images of the century: the haggard faces of the Spanish Civil War, the plump air wardens serving tea in the London Underground during the Blitz, Italian children lost in the rubble of Naples. As a child Capa wanted to be a writer; his best work has the intimacy of a storyteller's gaze and passion. He would never cover any war in which he did not love one side and hate the other, noted his biographer Richard Whelan, but his compassion was not partisan. Capa's special genius was to make himself invisible in the field while becoming conspicuously larger than life off of it. The helmet he carried through the 1943 Italian Campaign was inscribed "Property of Robert Capa, great war correspondent and lover." No one ever disputed either claim. Leaving for D-day, Capa was determined to keep up the standard. "I was the most elegant invader of them all," he would later write in his 1947 novel-memoir, Slightly out of Focus. Rushing from his apartment early on May 29, Capa could not leave a note. Instead, he signed a blank check, on which he placed a large bottle of Arpège. The check was for his landlord, the perfume for his wartime love, Elaine Justin, a fragile strawberry blonde he nicknamed Pinky. She was recovering from a burst appendix outside London; Capa was not concerned about the lack of a proper good-bye. He chafed at the idea of permanence. Besides his Burberry, he carried two Contax cameras. They provided some safety in the middle of a battle because he did not have to stop and look through the lens. He also carried his Rollei and Speed Graphic cameras, along with a telephoto lens, all packed in oilskin bags. At Weymouth, the sight of the harbor stunned him: thousands of battleships, troopships, freighters, and invasion barges mingled together—5,000 in all—the largest armada ever assembled. Capa was handed an envelope of invasion francs, a package of condoms, and a French phrase book that suggested he speak to the local girls by asking them, "Bonjour, mademoiselle, voulez-vous faire une promenade avec moi?" He later made a joke about the book, but never about June 6, 1944. Capa's 11 frames of blur and grit from D-day would become the collective vision of how it felt to be part of the "longest day," the turning point of World War II. "D" was army code for invasion day. In 24 hours, an elite assault unit of the United States Army, the amphibious 16th Infantry Regiment, First Infantry Division, would storm the beaches below the cliffs of Normandy. The outcome of D-day, the largest naval invasion in history, launched 70 years ago this June, would determine who won the war. The presence of Robert Capa with an infantry division was considered a talisman of luck. On June 5, 1944, Capa roamed the transfer ship U.S.S. Henrico with his Contax, aware that the London bureau of Life was already frantically waiting for his film. Hundreds of assault troops were waiting, too. For Capa, here were "the planners, the gamblers, and the writers of last letters." Capa captured soldiers playing craps in an aerial shot, grouped as if in a Cézanne. On the top deck, Capa found Sam Fuller, a young corporal from Brooklyn attached to the Big Red One, the nickname given to the First Infantry Division, commanded by Colonel George Taylor. Fuller, a screenwriter and pulp novelist, was collapsed on an ammunition box, trying to rest, the dread of dawn furrowing his face. Censors would block out the coastline in the background of Capa's photograph of Fuller in bright-red ink. (One of Fuller's future movies, The Big Red One, released in 1980, would celebrate the First Infantry Division.) For the invasion Capa transferred to the U.S.S. Samuel Chase. At two A.M. on Tuesday, June 6, the loudspeaker on the boat broke up Capa's poker game. Capa placed his invasion francs in his waterproof belt, grabbed his gas mask and inflatable lifeboat, and was served a pre-invasion breakfast of hotcakes, scrambled eggs, and sausages by the messboys of the Chase, dressed impeccably in their spotless whites. Later, many of the men of the Big Red One would say that Capa was insane to go in with the first wave of the invasion when he did not have to. In London, on the morning of June 6, Life picture editor John Morris awakened early. He opened the blackout curtains of his Upper Wimpole Street apartment and turned on the BBC: "Under command of General Eisenhower, Allied naval forces supported by strong Allied air forces began landing Allied armies this morning on the northern coast of France." "This is it," Morris whispered to himself, using the phrase The New Yorker's A. J. Liebling called "the great cliché of the Second World War," as Morris would note in his memoir, Get the Picture. Rushing to the Life office on Dean Street in Soho, Morris was concerned for Capa and harried about the magazine's deadlines. For the world and for Life, D-day was the most important day of the entire war. Morris's only hope to meet Life's Saturday closing deadline and scoop the world was to get original prints and negatives into a pouch that would leave Grosvenor Square at nine A.M. on Thursday, June 8, by motorcycle courier en route to a transatlantic flight. "I just kind of put my camera above my head . . . and clicked a picture . . . and when I came back, I was a very famous photographer."

No Two Ways to Fix Britain's Budget
George Osborne wants a 3% spending cut. Labour wanted 2.2%. The difference is hardly Keynes vs. Hayek.
To listen to George Osborne and Ed Balls, you would think that their respective approaches to rescuing the British economy are as different as chalk and cheese. The Conservative chancellor talks about spending cuts and attacks Mr. Balls's profligacy. The Labour shadow chancellor promotes spending as the route out of recession and accuses Mr. Osborne of slashing Britain into economic collapse.
The reality is rather different. The figures may be presented in very different ways by the two parties, but they nevertheless show that Mr. Osborne's strategy is merely a marginally more intensive version of the plans set out by his Labour predecessor, Alistair Darling.
There is no current Labour plan as such, because Mr. Balls has yet to outline anything resembling an overall fiscal alternative. Rather, he makes specific comments on individual items of government spending and advocates one-off measures such as a tax on bankers' bonuses. But since he has never repudiated the plans outlined in Mr. Darling's March 2010 budget statement and reiterated in Labour's election manifesto, they stand as the most detailed guide to his party's approach.
They show that, for all the high-blown rhetoric on both sides, Labour's plan was for a 2.2% average annual cut to government departmental spending over the course of this parliament. Mr Osborne's plan is for a 3% cut. That's the difference between them: 0.8% per annum—hardly Keynes versus Hayek.
Then again, it depends what you mean by a spending cut. In Labour's last year in office, the government spent £600 billion, or around £10,000 per person. The coalition's spending plan for 2014-15 totals £692.7 billion, or roughly £11,500 per head. So much for the supposedly vicious cuts that are now under way.
It is possible to have a form of spending cut at the same time as overall government spending is rising. One explanation is that the public sector regards as a cut any decision not to fund an item on a wish-list of future projects. Therefore, by that definition, because some planned schemes will now not be going ahead, "cuts" have been imposed.
More realistically, overall spending can rise at the same time as average departmental spending is cut by dint of other budget obligations. With the decision to protect the education, NHS and overseas-aid budgets from cuts, welfare payments can also rise far more quickly than any planned spending. Add the rise in contributions to the EU and the cost of servicing the interest on the national debt, and one starts to see how overall spending can rise as departmental budgets are cut.
As for the debt, far from being cut under Mr. Osborne's plans, it is scheduled to increase by 51% between 2010 and 2015—far worse than anything Labour managed in its 13 years in office. What impact would Labour's plans have had on the debt? A 60% increase. Worse, yes, than, the coalition's plan. But not that much worse.
It is certainly true that Ed Miliband has taken Labour leftward. Even Gordon Brown, whose reckless spending is largely responsible for the current mess, and whose political strategy was based on building clear dividing lines with the Conservatives, would never have countenanced Mr. Miliband's party-conference speech contrasting productive and predatory businesses. In tone and rhetoric, the party is now happy to ally itself with those who attack capitalism itself, as Mr. Miliband's praise for the protestors outside St. Paul's Cathedral shows.
But when the argument moves to specifics, nothing can mask the relatively minor differences between the parties. In his response to the Chancellor's statement today, Mr. Balls will doubtless repeat his call for a £2 billion a year tax on bankers' bonuses. Clearly it would affect those who would have to pay it, and probably have a knock-on effect on others. But an extra £2 billion here or there is small beer in an overall £1.5 trillion economy.
All in all, there is a surreal quality to the economic debate. Labour's regular theme is that Mr. Osborne's deficit reduction plans go "too far, too fast." Yet there was an interesting, almost throwaway, line in a speech by Mr. Miliband last week. He said that the Chancellor's progress was so slow in cutting the deficit that "the next Labour government is likely to inherit borrowing levels that still need to be reduced." That suggests the Conservatives are going both too far and not far enough.
Mr. Osborne's initial plan was to keep borrowing at £451 billion over the course of this parliament. In his March budget, he revised that to £485 billion. Today he is likely to increase it to over £500 billion. There is no iron law that states that the markets will forever ignore the U.K.'s deficit. So it remains critical that the coalition's determination not to slip from its plans remains convincing.
Intriguingly, David Cameron's pollster, Andrew Cooper, has reported to the prime minister that the public considers Labour's stance to be ridiculous—that you cannot solve a borrowing crisis through extra borrowing. Indeed, the Conservatives' private focus-group work shows that Labour has comprehensibly lost the spending cuts argument, even if Labour's rhetoric far overstates the difference between the parties.
That gives the Conservatives the political opportunity to be far bolder in putting in place a genuine gap between the two parties. But if the previews of today's statement are correct, the path of boldness is to remain the one not taken.

I'm pushing it. It's still summer, I know. I can't help it --- we picked out all the school supplies and then the pumpkin candle aisle got me.
And all of a sudden I NEEDED a bit of fall right this very second. The kids start school again on the 27th, and even though the weather is still hot out (this is actually the SF Bay Area's best weather of the year; if you ever come for a visit, pick somewhere between the end of August through the first week of October if you can swing it) (and by hot, I mean 75 which I know for a lot of you isn't hot but we're big babies here, so feel free to completely ignore me), and I'm still doing laundry from last week's beach trip I wanted something fall-ish.
so I made granola.
My friend Jennifer (not this one or this one or this one or this one) made a batch of granola to take on our beach trip and we ate it every day over greek yogurt in the room so we didn't pay the *exorbitant* hotel breakfast prices.
this isn't her recipe; she says she doesn't really have one. I've made granola in the slow cooker before, and like that I can wander away from it and not have it burn. I wanted to use leftover canned pumpkin, so it did need to cook longer than I thought it should so it wasn't a soggy mess. And, you should put dried fruit in near the end so they don't shrivel up on you.
The Ingredients.
serves 12 (lasts 5-7 days in our house over yogurt for breakfast for 5 people)
(freezes well, the raisins will get hard, but then soften again)
5 cups of rolled oats (we use certified gluten free)
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 to 3/4 cup honey (start with the smaller amount)
1 cup whole almonds (or use toasted pumpkin seeds)
1 cup dried cranberries/raisins or mixture (add last hour)
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
The Directions.
Use a large slow cooker -- I used a 6.5-quart. It's not a typo that I didn't add any butter or oil; I wanted to see if it would work without any, and it did! The pumpkin helped to coat the oats and provided enough moisture to keep it from burning and the honey did a good job of providing sweetness and a bit of a binder.
Stir everything but the dried fruit in. The honey will be gloppy--- just stir the best you can. Cover, and cook in a vented slow cooker (prop lid open with chopstick or wooden spoon) on high for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so. Add dried fruit the last 30-minutes to an hour. There really isn't an exact science here--- when you're happy with the texture and the consistency, it's done!
Let cool completely-- the oats will get a bit harder and crispier after cooling (you can spread it all out on layers of foil or paper towels or parchment paper on the counter to speed up the cooling process).
Let cool completely-- the oats will get a bit harder and crispier after cooling (you can spread it all out on layers of foil or paper towels or parchment paper on the counter to speed up the cooling process).
Store in an airtight container in either the fridge or the freezer.
Hey Steph, how come you don't just bake it in the oven? Honestly, it's easier for me to set a timer for 30 minutes and come back and stir the pot throughout the day then it is for me to camp out in the kitchen for 30-45 minutes straight and stir every 5-10 minutes to keep the granola from burning. I just don't have that type of time unless the kids are asleep, and this way they can help stir.
It's a lifestyle choice--- someday they won't be attached to my leg and I can open the oven door safely, but for now, it's just not an option! :-)
Happy (almost) fall, and Happy (almost) school season!
Stay Tuned this fall, because I'm going to be hosting daily giveaways again!!
Also, it's time to reorder a new copy of Totally Together: Shortcuts to an Organized Life --- I'm so happy and proud of the way this journal turned out and has been received; thank you!

City of Fontana[edit]
My name is Johnny Gomez. I am currently working for the City of Fontana Marketing Department. Part of my job is to find new innovative ways to provide information for people interested in Fontana affairs.
I have been working on the site for about a week or two, and provided the site with plenty of information which has been taken out. Is there a particular reason? Did I not provide accurate information? Did I break a rule I should know about?
Honestly, if it is benefiting the promotion of Fontana, I need to know this so can prevent future deletions. Before I started, the page was very inaccurate pertaining to the community centers. If there is a way that we could work together that might help as well. Thanks for your time. (Ftr745 (talk) 15:51, 31 May 2012 (UTC))

- Looking at the edit history: user Dawnseeker2000 removed your work a half hour after you put it up. He did not want to cleanup your work, he wrote that is the edit notes, see below.

You will see how these capabilities will not only help manual testers do their jobs more effectively, but this approach also helps developers by providing detailed diagnostics information about tests when they fail.
