I have a Lenovo S10 with a webcam, and i want to use it for video chats with some friends of mine. However Windows Live Messenger seems to think i haven't a webcam installed even when i do. I've checked Devices and Printers and it shows up there, so it's not that the machine doesn't see the camera. I don't have any other software on hand to test the camera at the moment but i could get some if neccessary. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. How can i get the webcam working with WLM?
IIRC on the Lenovo S10 Fn + ESC is the key combo to toggle the webcam on/off.
note: the Fn key may require some 'hotkey' driver from Lenovo.
I had the same problem. Same netbook. But I found out it works when the other person invites me.

These were terrific. I've made them twice and the last time I added a package a Bay Scallops. I also added tarragon instead of onions plus a Tbs of lemon juice. Just excellent and so easy to do. Would work in the oven too. Thanks Kate in Ontario from Tebo in BC
Oh how I loved these shrimp, so full of flavor and really delicious! I squirted lemon on mine before serving as I am a lemon lover. So good!
WOW! this was great. We really enjoyed this recipe. Its one I am so sure we will make again many times. I let the shrimp marinate for several hours and than we put them on skewers and grilled them. We shared them with our friends too and of coarse the shrimp was a big hit with them too. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.

SALT LAKE CITY -- There were about two and a half laps left when Jennifer Rodriguez realized the 3,000 meters was not going to end as well as it began.
"That's when it really began to hurt," she said.
Of course, seeing as how Rodriguez celebrates the end of almost every race by vomiting, her pain threshold probably is a little different from most of us. So just what does she mean when she says "it really began to hurt?"
"Like you just want to cut your legs off," said Rodriguez, who finished seventh. "Cut your legs off and throw them in the garbage."
Well, that explains why Rodriguez struggled down the stretch Sunday at the Utah Oval. Paired against three-time world champion Anni Friesinger, Rodriguez went to the starting line knowing the German skater would set a blistering pace, which didn't bode well.
"I knew if I was going to have a chance to contend for a medal, I'd have to go out fast and try to stay with her," Rodriguez said. "I went out faster than I normally would and I skated a good race but I just ran out of gas at the end."
While she was on a world-record pace for the first part of the race, Rodriguez gradually tired and steadily fell farther and farther behind the German, finishing almost four seconds behind her in a time of 4:04.99. Neither skater's time was good enough for a medal. Germany's Claudia Pechstein won the gold by breaking her own world record with a time of 3:57.70, Renate Groenewold of the Netherlands was second and Canada's Cindy Klassen third.
The victory finished a nice progression for Pechstein. She won the gold in Lillehammer and the silver in Nagano.
"I think Anni was under a lot of pressure because she won all the World Cup tournaments this season," Pechstein said of her German rival. "My advantage was that I could skate more relaxed because I wasn't under that pressure."
While Rodriguez left without a medal, she did pick up a bit of a cough. But though her seventh-place finish was three lower than she placed in Nagano, Rodriguez said she wasn't disappointed. Her best world finish in the 3,000 in the past year is fifth, and is better in the 1,000 and 1,500 meters, where she is a strong medal candidate.
"The highest we've ever been is fourth," said her coach, Tom Cushman. "It's always been between fourth and eighth, but she comes back the next day and skates very well in the 1,500."
Rodriguez races in the 1,000 next Sunday and the 1,500 the following Wednesday. She also may skate in the 500 this week and the 5,000 the final week.
"I wanted to get the jitters out and I did," she said. "I don't know why everyone thinks I should be really disappointed by the result. Just because I finished fourth last time (in Nagano) doesn't mean I've been focusing on getting a medal this time. I don't think anybody has been paying attention the past four years."
Given the usual attention devoted to speedskating in non-Olympic years, that's a safe bet.

|Chiarelli sees similarities with Sabres
|04.12.10 at 12:51 pm ET
There is to be a distinct flavor to the teams that populate the Northeast Division of the NHL's Eastern Conference — decent goaltending, collapsing defensive styles along with rich traditions and devout fan bases.
Along those lines, the Bruins are getting ready to take divisional rival Buffalo for the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs on Thursday, and Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli sees a lot of similarities between how the two organizations have been built.
"I have admired the Buffalo organization. The way that they have built the team, the way that they stress bringing their players through the system, getting those players in the lineup," Chiarelli said in a conference call Monday morning. "I admire the coach and the way that he has changed through the years, I think he is the longest tenured coach."
The fortunes of the two franchises have been up and down in the last decade or so, though Buffalo claims the upper hand in more recent history with two trips to the conference finals in 2005-06 and 2006-07 before missing the playoffs the last two years to retool the roster with younger players and establish their stalwart goaltender Ryan Miller on the back end.
"I have seen a team that has undergone a bit of a transformation over the past few years. They have added more speed up front and you can see that in their forecheck and their neutral zone play," Chiarelli said. "Obviously their goalie is a terrific goalie, he is very hard to beat. We have played them well, there is a defensive element to their game as well which I think is inherent in [coach] Lindy [Ruff's] system and how [general manager] Darcy [Regier] builds teams that obviously we have, not the same type of component, but there is an emphasis on our team on that also."
The Bruins and Sabres share some history in the front office as well as ice level. Chiarelli's assistant general manager, Jim Benning, hails from the Buffalo organization and assistant coaches Doug Houda and Craig Ramsay both spending time with the team.
"They have some good principles there and our assistant GM, Jim Benning, is from there, they've got very good principles there. It is not a coincidence that we are facing each other because there are some good people who have run through there," Chiarelli said.
Everything in this series is going to orbit and the linchpins of the respective lineups — Miller and Bruins' goaltender Tuukka Rask. The defense will play tight, stay close to the crease and the puck will spend a lot of time on the half walls. Chiarelli said to expect a lot of goals of the tip-in and deflection variety.
"It's tough. You are going to see good goaltending and obviously collapsing [defense] because of the good goaltending," Chiarelli said. "So, you will see a lot of traffic and when there is traffic and collapsing [defensemen] you are going to see tip-ins and those types of goals. I think you are going to see those types of goals deciding the games, notwithstanding really good goaltending."
Chiarelli said a couple of times that prognosticating the results of the series will be difficult, especially considering the distinct similarities between the two rosters.
"From a matchup perspective, I think you are going to see some tight defense and the fact that you have two very good goalies. They will be hard games, they compete hard. They have a goal-scorer in [Tomas] Vanek who seems to have found his mark in the last little bit," Chiarelli said. "I am not sure if they are getting some of their guys back but they have some pretty skilled forwards up front and if we forecheck the way we are capable of doing, I think we are in for a pretty good series."
|Savard: 'Just trying to feel normal again'
|03.27.10 at 2:09 pm ET
Marc Savard is taking walks, getting some fresh air and trying to regain his full wits.
On Saturday, he spoke publicly about the hit from Matt Cooke on March 7 in Pittsburgh and how it's affected him.
Thanks to the Bruins media relations department, here is the full transcript:
On how he is feeling and if he remembers the hit:
I am not feeling myself quite yet, still. I still don't have any recollection of the hit. Obviously, I have seen it but that's the only recollection I have, when I see it. I just don't remember any of it.
On if he has any close calls with similar types of hits before this particular one:
No, none of that nature, I guess. I have obviously seen them but, I haven't come close to getting hit like that ever.
On his reaction to the hit:
Well, I have obviously viewed it a couple of times and I think it was a play that didn't need to happen, obviously. To me it wasn't a shoulder and I watched the [Mike] Richards on [David] Booth hit. I think that was a shoulder. I think mine was more of an elbow, so I think there was an attempt to injure there. I was, obviously, very unhappy with what happened and I think it could have been avoided very easily. Read the rest of this entry »
|Bruins extend defenseman Ference
|03.24.10 at 3:30 pm ET
The Bruins extended defenseman Andrew Ference's contract for three years on Wednesday. Multiple media outlets have reported that the deal to be worth $6.75 million for a $2.25 million average.
Questions abound. The first one: Why now? With 11 games to 10 games to play in the regular season and a couple of months before the start of free agency after, the Bruins had ample time to negotiate with Ference (who would have been an unrestricted free agent) or get a feel for what other options might be available.
"There was no reason behind [the timing]," Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said during a conference call Wednesday afternoon. "I guess we just tried to get ahead of it with some of these players. When we came to an agreement is why it is done now … We just try to be proactive on certain fronts and this falls into that category."
There are some things to like about the 10-year veteran defenseman. He is a good puck mover and tends to play hard when he can stay on the ice. He slots between a third to fifth defenseman and has versatility to provide depth to a group of blue liners. Chiarelli acknowledged Ference's abilities.
"He is experienced and that experience brings an element of stability on defense especially when you have some younger players. He competes. I remember him playing for Calgary in the Stanley Cup playoffs the year they went to the finals," Chiarelli said. "He is efficient enough on the ice where he can play in the top four, compliment the top four and still have that compete level that he has … He has got a lot of ingredients we look for in a player and we are glad to have him in the mix."
At the same time, Ference has not exactly been the model of a healthy citizen the last couple of years. Groin injuries have limited him to 50 games this year (with eight assists and a plus/minus of -7) and 47 games last year. Chiarelli said that Ference's injuries were just "part of the package."
"He is a player who can give you 20-plus minutes a night," Chiarelli said. "With [Ference] there is an element of leadership, he has the skating ability to retrieve pucks, probably his biggest strength is that first pass out of our zone. He really contributes to the flow of our defense. A lot of understated attributes to his game and I think you have seen him back in the last couple of games. He plays a hard game and does have injuries as a result. That is part of the package. He takes very good care of his body."
Ference feels that he can be healthy moving forward.
"Not bad," Ference said of his current state of health. "I have been battling injuries the last couple of years. It has been frustrating as far as some of them go but it is part of the game and I feel fortunate enough that injuries that I have had are completely reparable and that I can come back and feel 100-percent from. Obviously that goes into the decision making in keeping me around and obviously the doctors are confident enough to tell the team that I will be able to come back from and be 100-percent."
Chiarelli said that he was given assurances that Ference will be healthy once he gets over his current round of ailments.
"I think with a player of his size there will be injuries, knock on wood," Chiarelli said. "I was given an assurance with regard to his groin and core area that everything is reparable and everything will be fine. We are prepared to take the injuries with the way that he plays."
Chiarelli said that the beauty of locking up Ference is that he has utility within the defensive core. He can be a top four puck mover or can slide back to the bottom pair to compliment what the other guys are doing.
"He can play at a multitude of different spots, which is why he is attractive," Chiarelli said. "He can play in the top four, he can play in the bottom pair. His game lends itself to different roles and he is versatile and that is why he is attractive also."
Where does Ference signing leave the rest of the Bruins defensemen? Johnny Boychuk and Mark Stuart are both restricted free agents after the year and Dennis Seidenberg is an unrestricted free agent. That leaves Ference, Zdeno Chara, Dennis Wideman and Matt Hunwick under contract heading into 2010-11. Chiarelli said that front office continues to evaluate.
"We are always evaluating," Chiarelli said. "The last two games we have played well defensively. Well, the whole year we have played well defensively, relatively speaking. I know the rest of our play has not been up to far according to pundits, myself included. So, we are always evaluating and we have brought a new member in the mix in [Seidenberg]. I am not going to comment on what your specific plans are but there seems to be a good mix there right now and we will see how it plays out the rest of the year."
Ference said that he asked for a no-trade clause in his contract because he would like to stay in the Boston area where his girls have started school but that he did not receive one.
|Chiarelli gets defensive
|03.03.10 at 7:49 pm ET
Call it spin or creative marketing.
But Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, while admitting frustration in not landing one of eight snipers they hoped to add before Wednesday's trading deadline, did say the Bruins accomplished something significant that indirectly could result in a better offense.
In making two deadline-day trades while shipping one of their current defenseman and a forward out of town, they remade their blue line. The centerpiece is 28-year-old defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, a defenseman aquired from Florida, along with the rights to Ohio State defenseman Matt Bartkowski, in exchange for forward Byron Bitz, Craig Weller and a second-round draft pick in this year's draft.
'I know a lot of the questions will be, 'Why didn't we get scoring?' And those are very good and valid questions. Firstly, we wanted to change the composition of our defense. I can say that was an equal priority to getting some more scoring,' Chiarelli said.
Earlier Wednesday, the Bruins sent 31-year-old defenseman Derek Morris to Phoenix for a conditional pick in the 2011 draft. On Tuesday, the Bruins added defensemen Cody Wild from Edmonton and the rights to University of Michigan defenseman Steve Kampfer from Anaheim.
'I put [defense] as an equal priority because I feel that if we change the composition that will, in itself, allow us to improve from the backend out and that should result in better offensive production,' Chiarelli said. 'It allows defensemen to play in their appropriate roles and that was the motivation behind that now.'
Chiarelli said he and his staff targeted eight potential forwards around the NHL as possible acquisitions prior to the deadline but he deemed the asking price too high. Names such as Edmonton's Steve Staios, Raffi Torres, who wound up being traded from Columbus to Buffalo and Carolina's Ray Whitney, who wasn't dealt at all, were among the names rumored to be on Boston's radar.
'With regard to improving the scoring, there were some players out there and we were in on more than a couple,' Chiarelli said. 'But I guess at the end of the day, I just wasn't in a position to give what they wanted. I didn't think additions that I contemplated would produce more than marginal improvement. Hard to believe after scoring one goal [Tuesday] night, I really believe our group can score more and we will score more.'
|Chiarelli to fans: I feel your frustration
|at 5:23 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli faced the music and the New England media approximately 90 minutes after the NHL trade deadline passed.
He was unable to land one of eight scoring forwards he and management had targeted to help a Bruins team that – with 150 goals – ranks dead last in offense in the NHL.
It was the great frustration of his, as he readily admitted throughout his question-and-answer session.
"As a manager, you try to separate the direct results of the team on a day-to-day basis. I wasn't happy with [Tuesday] night and we didn't try to react and we didn't react today because we put a lot of planning into a bunch of these things," Chiarelli said. "I know the fans want more scoring and they want us to have more success. So there's my frustration. I didn't put that in place."
|Bruins players react to Morris, Seidenberg trades
|at 1:37 pm ET
WILMINGTON — A professional sports team is broken up into two parts: the front office who make the decisions and the players who actually do the competing. We have heard from the Bruins front office on Wednesday with the trade for Dennis Seidenberg and the departures of Derek Morris and Byron Bitz. For the players it is a different, more emotional type of day.
"There is still two-and-a-half hours left until the day is over," Tim Thomas said. "But, it is meant to effect the team and hopefully it does so positively … I noticed [that there has been more nervousness in the locker room] a little bit. I noticed it yesterday, since yesterday was my first day back but I noticed it even a little bit before the break. I think there was some nervousness about it and you try your best not to think about it but that does not mean you do not think about it at all. It really does no good to think about it because no matter what way you think about it, it is not going to work out that way."
True enough.
Not many people would have suspected that the Bruins would ship out Morris and replace him with Seidenberg. Coupled with Bitz the Bruins have opened up some cap room to bring in a scoring forward later in the afternoon. There have been rumors of talks with the Blue Jackets about acquiring Raffi Torres but the cost might be a first round pick which would make it prohibitive for general manager Peter Chiarelli.
For the most part the Bruins players understand that the NHL is a business and that this team was probably looking at some type of shakeup at the deadline, but that does not mean they are numb to watching their teammates shipped out.
"Both the guys we lost were good teammates and good people," Thomas said. "I had a lot in common with Derek and I had a lot in common with [Bitz]. They both played in the ECAC in hockey and are actually some of the only college graduates in here. It is sad to see them go but you just want to wish them the best wherever they end up being traded to."
Defenseman Matt Hunwick learned a lot from Morris during his time in Boston.
"He was a big part, I think, in helping my game this year. I played with him in different stretches and he really added a calmness to my game. I think I really played my best hockey when I played with him and it is tough to lose a veteran defensemen that you look up to but things happen and you have to move on and remember the things that he told me and keep improving."
As much as Morris has meant to Hunwick, the loss of Bitz touches a little closer considering that they were both first year professionals the same year with Providence and started their NHL careers with Boston last season.
"Well, it is tough," Hunwick said. "Bitz is a great guy and someone who came up last year and helped this team and really earned his spot, that is for sure. It is always tough to see someone go especially us being first year pros together in Providence and being up last year. It is obviously tough to lose guys, especially guys who you have some history with."
On the other end, the Bruins are acquiring a strong defenseman from the Panthers in Seidenberg who is comparable to Morris but plays a different game. Boston is familiar with Seidenberg as he was a top-four defensive pair with the Hurricanes during the playoffs last year.
"I thought he played excellent in the playoffs last year," Thomas said. "Having said that I was focused on the puck most of the time. I was not focused so much on people … we brought him here, I am assuming, to make the team better so, I hope he can."
Marco Sturm played with Seidenberg on the German Olympic team and knows him well.
"He is a good guy and a big strong guy, so, I think he will help us on the power play too," Sturm said. "He has a pretty good shot, a heavy shot and blocks a lot of shots so I think he is a solid defenseman … I have known him a long time, we have played together on the national team."
With the turnover today the Bruins have created some space under the cap. Chiarelli is still looking for a forward and for his part, Sturm does not think the Bruins are done dealing yet.
"I don't think it was a surprise that [defensemen were traded], well, maybe a surprise that it was [Morris] but we still needed a defenseman," Sturm said. "I still think we are not done yet."
|Chiarelli has options on deadline day
|at 10:14 am ET
The big day has finally arrived.
Wednesday is the NHL trade deadline with all moves to be completed by 3 p.m. this afternoon. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. at TD Garden to discuss the moves the Bruins did, or did not, make to improve the team down the stretch looking for a third consecutive playoff birth.
All the blood that has been squeezed from the Chiarelli stone this past week has been "we are looking for a top-nine forward with a scoring bent" with the caveat that market prices are prohibitive at this point. Outside of the upper echelon teams (Chicago, Washington, San Jose) the rest of the league is tightly packed making this year a sellers market as there are a plethora of buyers. The six through 12 seeds in each conference are separated by nine points heading after Tuesday's games.
With 65 points, the Bruins currently have a tenuous hold on the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference (tied in points with the Rangers, one behind the Canadiens, four behind the Flyers). Injuries and inconsistency have been the name of the game in Boston. Chiarelli and coach Claude Julien have been holding onto the fact that several Bruins have not performed to expectations this year and that a turnaround by them (David Krejci, Blake Wheeler, Milan Lucic, Michael Ryder, Dennis Wideman to name the primary candidates) will do a lot to turn the team around.
Yet, here we are, 61 games in with 65 points to show for it. To expect a sudden turnaround by all these players would be foolish at best, damning to the front office's reputation at worst. Some of them may go on a hot streak down the stretch but of those five names, two, maybe three can realistically rise to their expectations. The question then becomes; what tact do the Bruins take at the deadline and is the price really worth it?
The smart money at this point says that Chiarelli will not make a major move. By major, a top-nine forward along the lines of Raffi Torres, Teemu Selanne, Ray Whitney, Keith Tkachuk or Paul Kariya (to name a few on the rumor mill). Do not expect to see Marian Hossa or Ilya Kovalchuk or their ilk walk through the door. If those type of players were on the market, which they are not, it is doubtful that Chiarelli would spend what it would take to bring them in anyway. So far he has been guarding his horde of draft picks, either waiting for the best deal to come along or to really restock the Providence Bruins and Reading Royals for years to come. Protecting the first round picks is understandable, laudable even, considering the Bruins have two each in the next two drafts. Yet, with five second round picks between 2010 and 2011, it is hard to argue that Chiarelli could not flip one of them relatively painlessly for Whitney or Torres. That would be a high price but the sellers control the market.
At the same time, the Bruins have to worry about money. So far, Chiarelli has been penny wise and pound foolish. The pennies have been spent in the last couple of days reorganizing the minor league system with the Steve Kampfer and Cody Wild trades. Do not expect to see either of them in Boston soon, if ever. The pounds that Chiarelli spent were mostly last summer, giving Tim Thomas his four-year $20 million contract looks like a big mistake and the extensions to Krejci and Lucic may have been premature. It all adds up to next to nothing for the Bruins to spend under the cap so a contract from the NHL roster would have to go the other way or players like Vladimir Sobotka, Johnny Boychuk would have to be stowed in Providence to free up their nominal salaries.
In the realm of sanity (a small bubble at any trade deadline), Chiarelli probably knows that no matter what he does at the deadline, the Bruins are probably not going to jump any higher than the sixth seed in the conference. Thus, why rush to make a transaction now when the market is so prohibitive to making a value deal? Chiarelli could happily sit on his picks, wait for the season to end and the draft to come and make a splash in the summer. The ways the Bruins are currently constructed, he is going to have to rock the boat eventually.
Whether he decides to do that before 3 p.m. today remains to be seen. Chiarelli is set to hold a press conference at TD Garden at 4 p.m. to discuss the decisions he made and the moves he did or did not make.

KAUFFMAN PEPITA LORRAINE URBINA KUDARAUSKAS KAUFFMAN Passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, August 28, 2013, in Arlington, Va., with her husband Kenneth and other family by her side. Born March 14, 1924, in Washington, D.C., and raised in Boston, Mass. An alumna of Boston Girls' Latin School, she earned degrees from Radcliffe College (BA),
Harvard University
(MA), The
Ohio State University
(MA), and George Washington University (EdD). A clinical psychologist, researcher and counselor, she practiced at Worcester State Hospital and Harvard University School of Public Health, taught Parent Effectiveness Training courses while living overseas, and was a trainer for the Northern Virginia Hotline. As a Foreign Service wife, she herded her eight children to her husband's first assignment in New Delhi, India, in 1961, and raised the family during subsequent postings, which included Ankara, Turkey; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Paris, France. The family traveled extensively during the journeys to and from each post, and lived in Pelham, N.Y., for a year while Kenneth worked for the Council on Foreign Relations. Pepita also lived in Europe and England for a period before having children. Pepita was extraordinarily dedicated to developing and sharing knowledge and understanding of the people, languages and cultures of each country. She found great pleasure in immersing herself and her family in local life. Through her extraordinary enthusiasm, intelligence and charm, she forged innumerable friendships and became a valuable ambassador for the United States. Vivacious and multi-talented, she pursued many studies and hobbies. A trained vocalist, she also played a variety of musical instruments. She studied Indian classical music and dance as well as Turkish music. She was on the Radcliffe fencing team and later became an avid equestrian.

"You don't worry about a popularity contest. You can't."
The owners also voted to move the trading deadline from after Week 6 to after Week 8, and to allow one "marquee" player placed on injured reserve to return to practice after the sixth week of the schedule and to the lineup after the eighth week. That player must be on the 53-man roster after the final preseason cut.
Terrell Suggs, the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year, could fall into that category. Suggs recently underwent surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. If the Ravens believe Suggs can make it back by midseason, as the linebacker has predicted, they could use the IR special designation for him.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft likes the adjustment because he knows firsthand how devastating an injury to a star player can be.
"It's good because I think it keeps the excitement in the game," Kraft said. "I know when we lost Tom Brady there was a feeling he could have come back at the end of the year. It would have been great for the fans, and I think every team has someone in that category."
Goodell said the league is closer to a decision on what to do with the Pro Bowl, which he called "not a competitive game" in January. He wants more discussions with the players about how to improve the quality of the game, but dropping it entirely still is possible.
"The issue is we recognize it is an all-star game, but we also believe fans expect more from an NFL game," he said. "If we believe we can achieve that, we want to give them every opportunity to do that."
Only New Orleans, site of next year's Super Bowl, and Honolulu are being considered if the Pro Bowl is held.
The league approved the Buffalo Bills playing one regular-season game every year from 2013-17 in Toronto, extending that international series. Expansion of the international series in London could come as early as next year, Goodell added.
While Cowboys and Redskins executives were in the owners meetings they learned that their grievance against the NFL and the NFLPA over reductions in their salary caps was dismissed. Dallas loses $10 million over this season and next and Washington loses $36 million.
Washington general manager Bruce Allen said the team is "obviously disappointed." Asked how losing another $18 million might inhibit the Redskins, he said: "We'll see. We'll have time to talk about it."

It was a great eye-opener to see the functions and possibilities of the ccaps in S2. But a great desillusion to find out that if you attatch multiple ccaps to a page a member needs to have all of them in order to have access to that perticular page.
I would like to have an AND / OR checkbox to that. Yes, I know I can use shortcodes to protect the content but in some cases I don't want that.
What I do want is to be able to sell individual courses or combinations of these AND a full-entrance membership.
So all pages will need to have a perticular ccap AND a "platinum" ccap.
And I don't want to have to attatch a new ccap to the existing platinum members everytime a new type of course is released.
Has someone al ready figured this out? Or is the team considering something like this as an option in the near future? I saw quite some people posting needing the same feature.

Abstract75824-Induction cores, used to accelerate the heavy ion beams in inertial fusion, are built around the outer diameter of the cryostat that houses the superconducting quadrupole array. A compact cryostat would be highly desirable for reducing the cost of the induction cores. Recent experience with the fabrication of a cryostat for single beam transport revealed that the spacing in the cryostat vacuum jacket could be reduced by using low-emissivity thermal insulation material instead of conventional MLI. However, compared with MLI, the installation of the new type of insulation is labor-intensive. To address this problem, this project will investigate the possibility of combining the low-emissivity material with conventional MLI as the cryostat insulation material. Phase I will design and fabricate two small cryostats. In each, a specific kind of low-emissivity insulation material will be combined with the MLI, and the vacuum jacket spacing will be built as compact as practical. The cryostats will be filled with liquid helium and the heat leak rate will be evaluated by monitoring the change in helium level. The test results will be used to select an optimal combination of the insulations. The selected mixed insulation will be used to build prototype compact cryostats in the Phase II. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The compact cryostat with the combined insulation should find use in superconducting magnets for a wide range of applications including particle accelerators, fusion energy research, NMR, NMI, laboratory high field experiments, and industrial magnets.

Thank you for signing up!
yoga studio
Forget Yoga Envy + Remember Who You Are
The yoga practice is a glorious dance of the physical possibilities in the human body. An advanced practice can take your breath away as easily as it can expand your ujjayi. It can twist and turn in directions that make an artist quiver with creative jealousy and inspire even the heaviest of sloths to entertain a change of mind.
That being said — it can also be intimidating as hell.
I learned, trained, teach and practice in Santa Monica, California. It is the mecca of yoga these days and the cream of the crop when it comes to beautiful practices. It's hard to find a level 2-3 class that doesn't have at least one yogi soaring through the air in-between asanas or adding what appears to be a level-X variation to every pose. It can often be inspiring and mind-blowing but it can also be, in a word, daunting.
Yoga — Why So Serious?
I don't mean to Bikram-bash, but my first yoga studio experience happened to be in a Bikram studio, and it wasn't great. What turned me off the most about the experience was the energy in the room. Nobody was smiling. I can't stand being places where no one's smiling — my defense mechanisms kick in, among them a very snarky sense of humor. I found myself trying to fight laughter from the jokes I was telling myself internally to qualm the awkwardness, while staying as silent externally as everyone else. It's difficult to ground yourself and balance on one foot when you're shaking at your core from fighting hysterical laughter!
This isn't the way a yoga class should be. Yoga is fun. I enjoy the practice. So why do most yogis seem so serious all the time?
Anxiety to Zen: An Open Letter to Yoga
Yoga saved my life.
Pretty grand statement, I know. And perhaps other people say that, too. I guess depending on where you are in life or what you happen to be going through, there are a lot of things that can save your life. A good book could do it, a sign from the universe or maybe even a strong martini. But when I say that yoga saved my life, I mean it truly came into my life during one of the darkest moments I had ever experienced and gave me back my desire to really live — fully and entirely.
A few years back, I found myself completely paralyzed with anxiety. I couldn't go to work, drive my car or even leave my house without a potential panic attack. This anxiety made me angry. It made me resentful. But most of all, it made me an entirely different person. I became a shell of what I used to be. A lot of people thought I'd stay that way. Full disclosure: I thought I'd stay that way too.

We've noticed that on multisite with the default clock scheduler, garbage collection doesn't happen, ever. On 1.0, we could change to the timer and things would work. Now if we save the timer option as your choice and navigate to another page and then back to the advanced page, our option of timer has defaulted to the clock option, which means we never run garbage collection, which is preventing our feeds from updating .... anyone else seeing this?
Also still unable to clear cache using the admin bar ..... anyone found a fix for this yet?
Think we're going back to pre 1.0 version ... so far that has had the fewest issues for us on ultisite.

I'm connecting to a remote SSH linux server from a windows host using plink. This works correctly, I setup a private/public key and can authenticate without any problem.
Thing is, when using plink once I'm connected the backspace key produces odd characters (something like '<-[K') and I get bell rings from the computer every now and then.
This is really baffling because if I use PuTTY it works fine I can erase using backspace and no bell. What is even more odd is that plink is loading the session that I made using PuTTY.
This is the command I use : plink -load virtual_MMFU Basically, the session works fine when used with PuTTY but whatever I change under keyboard or bell doesn't have any effect when using it with plink.

When installing WP 1.5 on IIS 6, MySQL 4.1.10 and PHP 4.3.10 I receive a long error (see http://tinyurl.com/4qmzh). I've triple checked my config file and read about a million posts - just can't figure this out.
At the bottom of the page it lets me go through the install to where I can view WordPress and admin tools fine, it just is really slow (dashboard takes over 7 sec to display on a DSL connection). It shouldn't be as I have a fast server. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am believer in God, Jesus his son, and the holy spirit within me. First I am guilty of not remembering my scriptures as I should. I am entertaining LDS missionaries but nagging fear of the "proof" like the actual transcription of actual plates or mention of Joseph Smith other than "sheep of another fold", etc. in my KJV. LDS appear to pull out pieces of seemingly obscure KJV scriptures to connect how they(LDS) derive from same New /Old testaments as KJV. Don't get me wrong...I feel a spiritual pull towards LDS but is this nagging fear actually the holy spirit suggesting I should proceed with caution?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I think the more general version of your question is good for this site and can be answered objectively. If I understand correctly, it's: "How do the LDS reconcile positive spiritual confirmation with lack of strong scriptural confirmation?"
Latter-day Saints believe in revelation. Revelation comes through the Holy Ghost as one seeks it and as the Lord wills it.
Latter-day Saints also believe in scriptures. The scriptures are general and apply to everyone who reads them. While the scriptures are true, there is more value in scriptures than merely making scholarly or factual connections to "prove" or discover something. More importantly, reading the scriptures invites revelation through the Holy Ghost for you at your place in life. Scriptures aren't designed to prove things. They're designed to bring the Spirit.
I think sometimes it's easy for LDS missionaries to get caught up in showing how one scripture passage validates another. That's not wrong, but the core of testimony comes through the Holy Ghost and following spiritual promptings. No one can be coerced to believe LDS doctrine.

Geotagging has created new problems for the military.
The U.S. Army announced this week that geotagging on Facebook and other social media sites can put soldiers' lives at risk.
"Is a badge on Foursquare worth your life," the Army asked in a statement.
But some soldiers may be geotagging unintentionally. Many smart phones now automatically tag photographs with GPS co-ordinates, BBC News reported.
"I'd say very few people know about geotag capabilities," a technology expert told the New York Times in 2010.
The press release says that in 2007, four Army helicopters were destroyed in Iraq after soldiers posted pictures of them online.
"From the photos that were uploaded to the Internet, the enemy was able to determine the exact location of the helicopters inside the compound and conduct a mortar attack," the statement said.
Complicating matters is that the new Facebook Timeline features a map of all geotags that users have added to their previous posts.

"Timeline presents some unique security challenges for users who tag location to posts," Army spokesman Steve Warren said in the press release.
The Army's warnings follow similar advice given by the British Military last year, the Daily Telegraph reported.

To the Editor,
Barnum Obama, that's a good one!
I promise not to call him anything but president. Can anyone tell me what he has done in these four years that would justify he be given a second term? Where is the transparency, the cut in spending, jobs, etc.?
I do see that he got a 2,000 page plus thing called health care reform. That is just another can of worms full of rules and regulations that will require, God only knows, how many more people will be added to the government payroll that will be needed to keep track of the paper work and will be paid with money we don't have.
If he is re-elected, these past four years will be like a day in the park compared to what will happen in the next four.
As we all know, the Supreme Court ruled the health plan is legal as Congress has the power to enact tax programs. (They say it's a tax.) But there is hope. We voters can become Supreme Court judges simply by voting for Romney on Nov. 6. That will give us hope that Obamacare can be repealed. If the roughly 60 percent of the people who oppose Obamacare vote against Obama, then we can say goodbye to Obamacare. We do need to do something with health care, but it needs to be done with better planning.
Subject 2: Where is this country going to when a few simple minded people say a cross included on a city logo is a violation of the "separation of church and state?" What church are we talking about? Don't the majority of Americans belong to some kind of church that displays a cross? How strong can your hatred of religion be that you scan logos for any religious symbol that might be there? Get a life.
Subject 3: People bashing the conservative radio and TV talk show hosts. Don't these people read the Daily Times? Writers like Williams, Sowell, Shapiro, O'Reilly, Charen and others write about the same things the talk show hosts talk about! I admire the Timers for carrying these writers' columns.
One thing I know for sure. You can't convert a liberal.
In closing, if you believe the country is on the right track, (you also believe in Santa Claus) then Barnum, (oops) I mean Obama is your man! If not, tell all your relatives, friends, neighbors and people you know that haven't voted for a while to be sure to vote for Romney on Nov. 6.

Adhesive forces are capable of deforming a soft elastic object when it comes in contact with a flat rigid substrate. The contact is in stable equilibrium if the total energy of the system arising from the elastic and surface forces exhibits a minimum at a zero or at a slightly negative load. However, as the system is continually unloaded, the energy barrier decreases and it eventually disappears, thus leading to a ballistic separation of the contact. While this type of contact splitting has received wide recognition, what has not been much appreciated with these types of soft adhesion problems is that rupture of a contact can also occur at any finite sub critical load in the presence of a noise. The soft contact problems are unique in that the noise can be athermal, whereas the metastable and stable states of the thermodynamic potential can arise from the competition of the elastic and the interfacial energies of the system. Analysis based on Kramers' theory and simulations based on Langevin dynamics show that the contact rupture dynamics is amenable to an Eyring's form of a force and noise-induced escape of a particle from a potential well that is generic to various types of colloidal and macromolecular processes. These ideas are useful in understanding the results of a recent experiment involving the noise-activated rolling dynamics of a rigid sphere on a surface, where it is pinned by soft micro-fibrillar contacts.

When i ordered this it did not give me an option to choose between girl colours and boy colours. In the photo the toy is shown using primary colors, so when I ordered it I assumed that I would be receiving the 1 in the picture. I did not receive the one in the picture, the 1 I got was purple and pink, so I promptly returned it before even leaving the store. Walmart should give options to choose color when purchasing something if there is something that comes in multiple colors. Especially when concerning Boys and Girls colors.
we bought one of these used at a yard sale when our daughter was about 6 months old and she still plays with it and loves it. it is very durable but doesnt have any lights, electronic sounds and doesnt talk or sing. i was shocked to see a new one cost almost $25! although its a good product i wouldnt pay more than $15 for a brand new one.
My nephew just loves it he is 7 months old

Since Geocities made it easy to publish and build websites online editors have come a long way. The capability of tuning your own site contributed both to the rise and fall of Myspace. After Myspace it seemed for a while that allowing your users to customize any design was not done, but slowly we see the market recover and a willingness to experiment with new kinds of style editors is growing. In this article I will try to describe some trends that are going on which can help you to pick the right editor for your next project.

Penn State Football's Halo Effect Made Program Too Big to Fail
American International Group Inc.'s derivatives trading unit in London was a money spinner, which is one reason the bosses in New York were willing to look the other way until it racked up losses. The athletics program at Penn State University, dominated by its now-scandal-tainted football program, isn't a profit machine unto itself.
Sports generated $106.6 million of revenue in the State College, Pennsylvania, school's 2010 fiscal year, according to a report from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Nov. 21 edition. That's 2.5 percent of the university's approximately $4 billion in operating revenue. Subtract expenses for marketing, recruiting and salaries -- including former football coach Joe Paterno's $1 million-a-year compensation -- and Penn State is left with about $18.6 million.
That's "chump change" in the overall budget of big state schools, says James Duderstadt, a former University of Michigan president. Only 22 of 120 programs in college football's biggest division reported a profit last year, the NCAA says. So why could an athletic department take risks that would damage the image of the whole university? The answer is the halo effect -- the force a winning sports team exerts on a university's brand and student recruiting power.
Penn State's motto, "success with honor," became a punch line after Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant coach whose defenses helped the school become known as "Linebacker U," was charged with 40 criminal counts tied to alleged sexual molestation of eight boys from 1994 to 2009. Sandusky, 67, has denied the charges against him.
Charged With Perjury
Athletic Director Timothy Curley, 57, and Gary Schultz, 62, a senior vice president who oversaw university police, are charged with perjury and failing to report the allegations. Curley and Schultz denied the charges through their attorneys.
At AIG, the U.S. government in 2008 lent the firm as much as $85 billion in exchange for a 79.9 percent stake after the insurer racked up losses of more than $18 billion in a year and neared collapse after posting more than $25 billion in writedowns on swaps.
Paterno, 84, and university President Graham B. Spanier, 63, who weren't charged, were fired last week as criticism over the football program's and the school's handling of the case mounted.
The Nittany Lions still played football last weekend, losing to Nebraska 17-14 in front of about 107,000 fans at Beaver Stadium.
Flutie's Hail Mary
Football success often becomes a windfall for an entire school. The success of Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie -- including his 1984 Hail Mary touchdown pass to defeat the University of Miami -- helped transform a regional college into an internationally known, highly selective institution. Annual applications jumped 12 percent in 1985, to 16,163, and have since doubled. Annual giving has risen to more than $100 million today from $20 million in the 1980s, according to Boston College spokesman Jack Dunn.
Similarly, Boise State University credits its Broncos football team with giving the school a boost after the team won the Fiesta Bowl in both 2007 and 2010. One donor from California specifically cited an article about the team when he sent a $250,000 pledge in support of a new business building, says spokesman Frank Zang. Applications soared 9 percent after the 2007 victory and 4 percent after 2010. The percentage of out-of-state students, who pay almost three times the tuition of in-state students, now stands at 19 percent.
Freshman Applications Jumped
George Mason University's Patriots basketball team made it to the 2006 NCAA Final Four after defeating the University of Connecticut. The team's 22 hours and 50 minutes of airtime on national television would have been worth $550 million at prevailing advertising rates, according to a report by the school's Center for Sports Management. Freshman applications jumped 21 percent, to 13,350, the following year, with out-of-state applications up 54 percent. The school exceeded the goal of its capital campaign by $32 million.
Penn State's Paterno, the coach with a record 409 victories for the most in major college football history, was a magnet for donors. The football program helped the university's endowment more than quintuple to a record $1.83 billion since 1995. When an athletic program puts those kinds of numbers up on the board, university administrators face a big temptation to look the other way when scandal surfaces.
