(INSIDE EDITION) - Police in Florida are hunting for a man they say shot to death his pregnant ex-girlfriend as she answered the door, reportedly firing as many as 10 times at the woman and her brother before fleeing.
Markeith DaMangzlo Loyd, 41, allegedly banged on the door of a Pine Hills area home, waiting for 24-year-old Sade Dixon to open the door of the Orlando home before opening fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
She was three months pregnant.
When Dixon's 26-year-old brother, Ronald Steward, came to Dixon's aid, Loyd allegedly shot him too, critically wounding the man, according to reports.
"It was like 'pow, pow, pow, pow, pow," neighbor Jim Baptiste told ClickOrlando.com, saying he heard 10 gunshots.
Steward, a mechanical engineer who went to the University of Florida, was rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center and listed in critical condition.
He underwent surgery and is expected to survive.
Loyd fled and has not been seen since, police said. He is considered armed and dangerous, officials said.
Avid social media users, Loyd and Dixon often took to Facebook to share live videos and posts on his profile about the pregnancy and their relationship.
"Classic weekend, me and bae been together 24/7 I mean literally 24/7 as always … there's no greater love and it only gets better with time … we will succeed," a November 20 post read.
Eight days later, another status said: "It feels good to have him with me every single step of the way during this pregnancy, lord knows it's too much for just one person."
But on Monday, Loyd posted: "All I want is the truth, could care less (sic)bout anything else … The TRUTH is what really matters cause the devil is a LIE ... Building a relationship off of truth can last a life time but ones built off of lies is headed for self-destruction."
Later that day, he wrote that he didn't have time for games or lies, posted: "I just want something that's real!!!!!"
Early Tuesday, he live streamed from what appeared to be a strip club and then at 3:12 p.m., he wrote: "Time to power back up."
It was the last post he shared before the alleged murder.
Dixon's parents said at a news conference that they trust law enforcement to handle the situation and appealed to the community to not seek vengeance for their daughter, a mother to two boys, ages 8 and 2.
"We don't need [anybody] retaliating or making it real for the 'hood, because the 'hood [isn't] going to bring our child back," Dixon's mother, Stephanie Dixon-Daniels, told reporters, according to WESH.
"It's just an emotional roller coaster at this time. It's all these grieving steps. Right now, I am just numb," she said.

Now Today has dropped in popularity and ABC's Good Morning America sits on top. What happened? Well, a lot. A lot happened. There is no other program I have watched as long as I have watched the Today Show. It's been decades. Since I was a kid. Tom Brokaw, Bryant Gumbel, Jane Pauley, Al Roker, Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, Ann Curry, Meredith Vieira, that old coot Willard Scott. Day in, day out, for hours: The "news" and some other completely absurd and unnecessary features (this morning it was an earth-shattering story about why Americans drink lots of coffee; an "expert" actually explained that coffee has caffeine in it). Despite the years of viewing, and the fact that most of the time I see the shiny anchors' faces more often than I see my own damn family, my feelings about the show are equal parts love and loathe: It's informative yet beyond cheesy, somehow completely behind the times while staying on top of the latest. For a while, I was deeply convinced that Ann Curry was The Worst™ — a horrible interviewer and awkward person. But something crazy happened after Ann Curry left: Today got even WORSE. Embarrassing attempts at "viral" videos, a steady stream of new, bland people, a horrible, unmoderated, free-for-all segment called Take 3 that's basically like being forced to listen to some strangers having a loud conversation on a bus and makes me want to stick pencils in my ears so that I never have to hear that brand of insipid chitchat again.You may also likePaleofutureNorth Korean Defector Describes the Shock of Adjusting to a Society With Advanced Technology54 minutes agoLifehackerThe Most Useful Language for English Speakers to Learn, According to an EconomistYesterday 7:00pmio9Sony Is Weirdly Questioning Spider-Man's MCU Future After the Homecoming SequelYesterday 7:00pmRecent from Dodai Stewart4Fusion · Dodai Stewart15 of the tiniest cute things you can buy on Etsy4/17/15 1:26pm2Fusion · Dodai StewartThrowback Thursday: Blink-182 says 'We love boobies' in the the April 2000 issue of Teen People4/16/15 6:48am4Fusion · Dodai Stewart15 faces from last night's episode of 'Botched'4/15/15 9:01am

It's hard to call Morro Bay a hidden gem while there is a 576-foot tall rock mountain sitting in its harbor. But that's just what this small seaside town along California's Central Coast is; it's a charming hideaway halfway between L.A. and San Francisco, with tons of laid back charm and beautiful scenery.
A friend and I recently escaped to Morro Bay for a couple memorable nights in which we discovered a cozy boutique hotel, gourmet restaurants, unspoiled beaches and a plethora of year-round ocean and land activities.
The getaway began at family-owned Anderson Inn (www.andersoninnmorrobay.com) a contemporary boutique hotel on the waterfront, overlooking the bay and the iconic rock. Inspired by the natural elements of sand, sea, and sky, the inn is elegant, yet unpretentious, with a comfortable, casual feel.
Our colorful bay-front room boasted vaulted wood ceilings, granite vanities, a comfy queen bed, free high-speed Internet, coffee maker and refrigerator, a flat screen television, a large, lighted Jacuzzi tub, glass shower, a fireplace, and our own private balcony directly above the water, overlooking the majestic bay and Morro Rock. The room is easily one of the best that I've experienced on the Central Coast.
A highlight of our stay at Anderson Inn was sitting on the balcony watching playful harbor seals swim below us, while small sail boats drifted past, beneath the shadow of the great rock.
When we weren't enjoying the scenery from our balcony, we were exploring it on foot, as Morro Bay is a perfect walking town. For our first stop, we strolled along the Embarcadero to get a closer look at the famous giant boulder guarding the harbor. Like the Golden Gate Bridge or Hearst Castle, 576-foot tall Morro Rock is a California icon.
On the way to the rock we stopped for breakfast at Dorn's Breakers Café (www.dornscafe.com). A local institution since 1942, Dorn's serves fresh surf and turf, along with made-from-scratch breakfast and lunch favorites – all with incredible bay views. For our breakfast we sat on the patio overlooking the harbor and enjoyed smoked salmon with cream cheese and bagels, buttermilk pancakes, with blueberries and a side of bacon and potatoes.
With our bellies full we made the 10-minute walk to the rock, where we found gorgeous Morro Strand State Beach and a group of sea otters floating on their backs and rolling in the water near shore. Next to the rock is the entrance to Morro Bay, a safe harbor, where small boats enter for protection, drop anchor, and help create the town's idyllic, seaside panorama.
After relaxing at the beach we walked along the Embarcadero, passed shops for fishing, surfing, coffee, jewelry, fish and chips, and saltwater taffy. We stopped at Kayak Horizons (www.kayakhorizons.com), where we rented kayaks and explored 15 miles of protected waters, including an estuary and bird sanctuary. Morro Bay is composed of 2,300 acres of mud flats, eelgrass beds, tidal wetlands and open water. Two-dozen threatened or endangered species live in the area including the peregrine falcon, brant goose, brown pelican, sea otter and snowy plovers. The area is also a major west coast wintering area for over 100 species of birds and is home to California sea lions and harbor seals.
After kayaking, I took a bubble bath at Anderson Inn and then walked to dinner at Windows on the Water (www.windowsmb.com). Known for its award-winning black cod and beef filet, Windows on the Water serves locally raised livestock, seafood and organically grown produce, along with an extensive California wine list. Our meal included smooth and tasty clam chowder, pan-seared scallops with citrus rice and asparagus and succulent Australian lamb T-bone with herb potatoes and kale.

US politicians have agreed a plan to try to bring down mortgage interest rates for millions of Americans and kick-start the ailing housing market.
Unveiled as part of a package of measures to stimulate the economy, president George Bush said the government-backed mortgage companies Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae would be given an expanded role in financial markets.
The pair are publicly quoted companies which buy and sell mortgages issued by other lenders, and are viewed as central to the housing market. By ensuring there is funding available to mortgage lenders, and because they operate under a federal government guarantee, they encourage lending and help spread home ownership. They have not been allowed to buy so-called "jumbo" mortgages of more than $417,000, but that cap will be temporarily raised to over $700,000 in areas with high house prices. That could slice interest rates on loans by up to a full percentage point and encourage lending in high-price areas such as California, where house prices have crashed.
Economists hailed the move, which comes hot on the heels of the Federal Reserve's emergency rate cut. Together, they could create new refinancing options for mortgage borrowers who are struggling with repayments, and could also tempt new buyers into the housing market. "We may be close to the point where actual sales levels are starting to bottom," Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, said yesterday in a speech in Vancouver.
National Association of Realtors figures yesterday showed the housing market was even more sluggish than feared in December. Sales of existing homes were down 2.2 per cent on the month, meaning activity was 13 per cent lower in 2007 than the previous year.
Mr Bush performed a U-turn in agreeing to raise the cap on loans that Fannie and Freddie can trade, but Democrats also gave ground in negotiations over the economic rescue package.

Did Press Make Obama Cry Today?
There was a lot of speculation today about whether or not President Obama turned on the waterworks during today's presser. After a thorough investigation, I believe that he did indeed squeeze one out.

A/n: umm.. this is my first time creating a fic. And if somehow you saw lot's of wrong grammar. I'm sorry. :But still, I hope you will like my story.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR. But the story, It's mine.
,Chapter 0ne'
" I'm tired! I don't want to live like this anymore…" Tsuna screamed into his mind as he ran away from his house. He was just getting beaten or being humiliated in front of people. And if he stayed there any longer, he'll just waste his life. He doesn't want that. He wanted to do many things too. But his parents won't allow it. Only his twin brother. Because he was smart and almost perfect. In fact he admired him. But at the same time, hated and envy him. Because he's getting all the attention. He too as well, wants some attention too.
As time passed, his ran turned to walking. He didn't know where to go. He has nowhere to go. Nobody wants to be with him. Because according to the people he knew, he was a failure as a human.
When he reached the park, he settled on the park bench. And when morning came, he'll just continue walking. He'll go anywhere just to get out of that house. He doesn't even feel any hunger anymore. Maybe because he's used to it. Who cares anyway?
Another day came. He was currently staying on an abandoned lot near a cliff. Below the cliff is the ocean. Tsuna smiled. It was a perfect place. A paradise for a person like him. Tsuna laid on the soft grass. He felt safe here. Plus, no one can even see him here. No one goes here anyway.
After a while he fell asleep.
Giotto walked over to his favorite place again. He felt peace whenever he was there. He always thought no one knew this place. Until he saw a boy sleeping peacefully on the soft grass. The boy has brown hair. He's hairstyle was just like him as well. The boy looked adorably cute when sleeping. Giotto blushed as he thought over it. His heart as well started to beat so fast. He took a deep breath and let it out. He sat beside the boy and waited for him to wake up.
Tsuna slowly opened his eyes. He slowly sat down and stretched his body.
"So you're awake? " tsuna flinched as he heard a voice. He merely looked over it and turned around. Making his back face the stranger.
"H-hey.." giotto started but Tsuna didn't looked over him. Instead he just buried his head over his knees.
"My name is Giotto. Please, don't turn your back on me. I'm not going to hurt you. " Giotto said.
But still, Tsuna didn't move. " Leave me alone." He said.
" Why should I ?"Giotto retorted. He didn't think that this guy has bad mouth. But something inside of him was saying that it wasn't his true nature.
"Because I hate you." Tsuna answered, still not looking. Giotto sighed. "We just met. You don't have to be like that.." Giotto said and walked over Tsuna. "I'll stay with you." Tsuna buried his head even more to his knees. That wasn't true. Nobody likes him Everybody despises him. He's sure that this guy won't be able to last as well. Seeing how pathetic he was. " Go and disappear.." He mumbled to himself. But Giotto heard it loud and clear. Giotto closed his eyes. "No." His answer. Giotto took Tsuna's hand and stood up and then started to walk. Allowing Tsuna to be dragged.
"H-hey!" Tsuna shouted as he tried to get free from Giotto's tight grip. Giotto stopped. " What's your name? " He suddenly asked and leaned over Tsuna's face. Tsuna blushed at that. He didn't know why. But maybe because this was the first time that a handsome person talked to him. He had to admit that.
" Tsuna.."
"Don't you have any family name?" Giotto asked when Tsuna didn't even bother giving his surname.
Tsuna flinched. He remembered them again. " I hate them… " He answered.
"Hate what..?" He asked.
Tsuna looked away. Giotto tried to find the answer himself. "..my family…" TSuna suddenly said making Giotto's thought halt.
Giotto flinched at the answer. Hate them? Why? Did they do something to Tsuna that made him hate them?
"Why? " Giotto asked curiously. Tsuna looked down. " They hate me as well. That's why… I decided to stay away from them and isolate myself here. It's not like someone would look for me. No one really cared. " Tsuna stated. Tears began to well up to Tsuna's eyes and he wiped them away. " Even you won't be able to last when you stayed with me. So just go away and leave me alone."Tsuna said. He felt hurt when saying it. The tears just continued to flow out as he tried to wipe it away. Giotto looked over at Tsuna and helped the boy wipe his tears. Tsuna looked at him in confusion. "Look, I'm not like your parents or the people you knew. I won't leave you. I'll stay with you. I don't care about your past. I'll just cling on the future. Because past is the past and it's not like we can do something to change it. " Giotto explained as he assured Tsuna.
Tsuna, when he heard it, cried again. This was the first person in his life that talked to him and assured him. He was happy.
Giotto hugged Tsuna when he started crying again. Somehow, he knew why this boy is acting like that awhile ago. "Ssshhh.. Don't cry.." Giotto comforted. Tsuna wiped his tears and smiled adorably at Giotto." Thank you Giotto-san.."
Giotto blushed when he saw how cute Tsuna was. He thought that he'll only look cute when sleeping.
" You're welcome."

My favourite part about New York was the food. Street food galore! We ate our way through the big apple and I was the happiest hungry hungry caterpillar at the end of it. While in Little Italy we had the most delicious cannolis EVER at the Caffe Palermo. When the sign reads #1 Best Cannoli in New York, its not lying…
I wish we had time to have dinner in Little Italy. Next time we're there, I cannot wait to stuff my face with some delicious pasta. But walking through the packed streets and seeing the colourful buildings – the type you see on t.v. – and eating whatever street food we could get our hands on was the biggest adventure.
Mmmm, empanadas.
Eventually we wandered into the winter market at Bryant Park and saw this arepa stand called TopArepa. Arepa is a typical street food in Colombia and Venezuela, usually sold at fairs. Its a sweet corn patty with melted cheese and ingredients. The smell in the brisk park was just so amazing and it beckoned at our taste buds. I had never tried it before so we salivated over and bought our self a spinach and feta arepa. SO DELICIOUS!
The best part about traveling anywhere is absolutely, undoubtedly, the food. I can't wait to eat our way around the world. Nom noms.

Ethernet Card
The kernel module to get the network card to work is e1000e. I had no problem getting it to work.
The drivers are included in the 2.6.27 kernel. However, it's important to make sure that you have the correct firmware. I installed the iwlwifi-5000-ucode. See this section for more details.
There is a module "hsfmodem" provided by http://www.linuxant.com/.
Graphics/Xorg Configuration
Note that it's not possible to switch the graphics adapter without restarting X. First of enable Integrated, Discrete or both graphics cards in your BIOS. This setting is under "Config->Display". If you choose both/switchable you must set the "BusID"-tag for each card in yor "xorg.conf" (see #Hotplugging).
Note that I enabled the testing repository, which gave me access to :
- xorg-server version 1.5.3
- xf86-video-intel version 2.4.3
- xf86-video-ati version 6.10.0
- xf86-video-radeonhd 1.2.4
- catalyst version 8.12
Integrated Graphics
After installing xorg, I installed the xf86-video-intel drivers. As root, I then ran X -configure. The generated xorg.conf worked fine. I did apply the 2D and 3D optimization, and performances in compositing window managers (like compiz or kwin) seem to have increased. I have not made any scientific measurements though.
Note : Some people have encountered problems with 3D on 2.6.28 kernels and xf86-video-intel version 2.4.3.
The following xorg.conf file was tested on a T400 with an integrated card with the 1280x800 resolution provided by the default Intel Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD (I included the Input devices for reference)
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.10" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" #Option "SHMConfig" "1" Option "UpDownScrolling" "1" Option "CircularScrolling" "0" Option "LockedDrags" "0" Option "TouchpadOff" "0" #Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "HDMI-1" Option "Ignore" "True" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "HDMI-2" Option "Ignore" "True" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" Option "monitor-HDMI-1" "HDMI-1" Option "monitor-HDMI-2" "HDMI-2" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection
NB Installing extra/libdrm and forcing discrete graphics in the bios fixed hanging problems when X quit.
Discrete Graphics
All 3 ATI drivers worked. That is both open-source drivers (xf86-video-ati
and xf86-video-radeonhd
) and fglrx (the catalyst
proprietary drivers).
I could not get the xf86-video-radeonhd
drivers to detect my external monitor, but xf86-video-ati
worked fine. Remember to remove catalyst
and catalyst-utils
before using an open source ATI drivers. ATI uses its own OpenGL library in its proprietary drivers, which is included in catalyst-utils
and conflicts with libgl. As it did with the integrated graphics, running X -configure generated a working xorg.conf.
To get the catalyst drivers working, you do have to configure your xorg.conf properly. I used aticonfig --initial to generate a working xorg.conf. I did encounter a problem that I have not been able to solve yet : resizing a window in a compositing window manager takes 1-2 seconds. This makes the drivers pretty much unusable.
If you want to be able to use horizontal and vertical scroll with your touchpad add this lines to your xorg.conf
Section "Module" ...... Load "synaptics" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "AlwaysCore" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "LeftEdge" "1632" Option "RightEdge" "5312" Option "TopEdge" "1575" Option "BottomEdge" "4281" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on" # Option HorizScrollDelta""0" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection
for trakpoint with third button paste & scroll add this few lines to xorg.conf too
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Trackpoint" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "EmulateWheel" "on" Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200" # adjust third button paste timeout. Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
finally update your layout
Section "ServerLayout" InputDevice "Trackpoint" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Touchpad" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
If you want to enable hotplugging you may end up with an xorg-file like the one just below. Notis that all the mouse/keyboard configuration is taken care of by HAL. Remeber to run:
lspci | grep -i vga
to find your PCI BusIDs

You will then also need some config files in "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/" For instant "mouse-wheel.fdi" to enable TrackPoint-scrolling:
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge> </match>
More information in the TrackPoint can be found here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint. The Keyboard layout is controlled by "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi" Modify it like this to change your layout. If you have any more questions on hotplugging (like how to enable tapping), take a look at it's wiki page.
Once you have ALSA installed, fire up alsamixer and make sure that sound is not muted. You might also want to press the Volume Up or Volume Down button. It seems than the Mute button mutes everything, even system beeps. Pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down button can unmute, but not pressing the Mute button again.
Here's the modules I have loaded that are relevant to sound :
$ lsmod | grep snd snd_seq_oss 35584 0 snd_seq_midi_event 9344 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 58336 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 9364 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_hda_intel 474672 2 snd_hwdep 10632 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 45568 0 snd_pcm 82440 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24720 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 10640 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 18944 1 snd_pcm_oss snd 64840 16 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss soundcore 9632 1 snd
Additionally, there is a patch for the audio driver for conexant's chipsets provided by http://www.linuxant.com which can be downloaded at http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/.
Multimedia Keys
The screen brightness controls and the flashlight work without any tweaking. As for the mute button, it mutes everything, even system beeps, with no tweaking necessary. To unmute, you do have to press the Volume Up or Volume Down button since the mute button does not seem to unmute. The other keys can be mapped using xev and xbindkeys. By following this guide you should be able to get everything working, but here's summary :
- First, open a terminal and type
. This starts the "Event tester". - Place your cursor on the "Event tester" window.
- When you press a key on your keyboard or move your mouse, it should get displayed in a terminal. For instance, this is what shows up if you press Fn+F2
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x86, subw 0x0, time 5537544, (76,110), root:(81,938), state 0x0, keycode 146 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
It basically says that keycode 146 is not bound (NoSymbol). Here are all the keycodes of all multimedia buttons:
Volume Down : keycode 174 Volume Up : keycode 176 Fn+F2 : keycode 146 Fn+F3 : keycode 241 Fn+F4 : keycode 223 Fn+F5 : Not responding to events ?? Fn+F7 : keycode 214 Fn+F8 : keycode 249 Fn+F9 : keycode 207 Fn+F12 : keycode 165 Fn+Up : keycode 164 Fn+Down : keycode 162 Fn+Left : keycode 144 Fn+Right : keycode 153 Fn+Home : keycode 212 Fn+End : keycode 101
- Type
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
in a terminal. This creates a file,.Xmodmap
, containing your current keyboard mapping. - Now open the file with a text editor and find the keycodes you're interested in. You can map any keycode with a symbol from this list.
- To get your new
loaded when you start X, just addxmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
to your .xinitrc. - To get your new
loaded immediately, typexmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
in a terminal.
You can now assign functions to your newly bound keys by using facilities provided by your window desktop environment or by using xbindkeys
To use xbindkeys
- Start by installing it
pacman -S xbindkeys
- Then add
xbindkeys &
to your .xinitrc. - And finally, in your home directory, create a file called
with content that would look something like
(xbindkey '("XF86Standby") "sudo killall dhcpcd && sudo pm-suspend") (xbindkey '("XF86AudioRaiseVolume") "amixer set Master 2dB+ unmute") (xbindkey '("XF86AudioLowerVolume") "amixer set Master 2dB- unmute")
To enable the fan speed control, it's necessary to load the thinkpad_acpi with option fan_control=1. After the thinkpad_acpi module is loaded with this option, you can monitor and adjust the fan speed via /proc/acpi/ibm/fan.
People have been having issues with suspend resume with the current intel xf86-video-intel 22.214.171.124 drivers in combination with the 4500mhd chipset. This is apparently an issue with concurrency as adding the following script (with mod 755) in /etc/pm/sleep.d fixes things. to some extent...
#!/bin/sh # Workaround for concurrency bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu10. # Save this as /etc/pm/sleep.d/00CPU . "/usr/lib/pm-utils/functions" case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online ; do echo 0 >$i done ;; thaw|resume) sleep 10 # run with one core for 10 secs for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online ; do echo 1 >$i done ;; *) ;; esac

The procedure described in the Bluetooth section of the Arch Wiki worked perfectly for me.

NOKIA ANNOUNCES IT'LL PLAY NICE WITH ITS LINUX PATENTS: Last year, IBM took a step forward in cooperation with the free software community, by offering blanket licences for 500 of its patents to all free software developers. In January it was Sun's turn, where the world was reminded that Solaris was still free software (although Sun made it look like it was authorizing free software developers to practice thousands of software patents).
This week it was Nokia's turn. Nokia announced it would not use its patents to attack the developers of one specific free software project: the kernel Linux, developed by Linus Torvalds and others, which is most prominently used as the kernel of the GNU/Linux operating system.
However, the Free Software Directory lists over 4000 free software packages. Nokia's announcement says nothing about them, so they still face the potential threat of being attacked by Nokia in the future.
Linux developers are not happy.

Okay so we know that abortion is a divisive topic among politicians and voters. There is no surprise about that. But birth control? Really? Is it just me or is the recent political hullabaloo over health care and contraception a bit of a shock? Just when I think people are going to come to their senses and focus on job growth someone throws a monkey wrench into the mix to cause a political debate about birth control. At the center of the debate are presidential hopefuls in our next election and the Catholic Church. Sound crazy? Of course it does but this is American politics we are talking about. We have never quite figured out that separation of church and state concept in practice. In this post we are going to discuss what this political debate is all about and what it may mean for women who use birth control contraception.
The debate in a nutshell:
President Obama's 2010 healthcare plan included a provision that most health insurance plans would cover women's contraception without charging a co-pay or deductible. This plan was to take effect starting August of 2012. But some politicians and religious leaders including those of the Catholic Church took issue with this plan stating that coverage of contraception goes against religious liberty. One staunch representative of the Catholic opposition is Bishop William Lori, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty. One of the stated goals of this committee is to take a stand against threats to religious liberty from federal and state government. Obama's health care legislation including coverage of contraception by Catholic employers was deemed part of this threat.
Catholic bishops weren't the only critics of the proposed contraception coverage. Some of the Republican presidential hopefuls, especially Rick Santorum, had plenty to say as well about the matter.
What did they say?
Here are some quotes on this political issue from some of the major players in the debate:
President Obama
"I believe we must work together to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. I support legislation to expand access to contraception, health information, and preventative services to help reduce unintended pregnancies."
"A woman's ability to decide how many children to have and when, without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess. It is not just an issue of choice, but equality and opportunity for all women."
Rick Santorum (Republican presidential candidate)
"I think it's harmful to our society to have a society that says that sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated, particularly among the young and it has I think we've seen very, very harmful long-term consequences to the society, Birth control to me enables that and I don't think it's a healthy thing for our country."
Time magazine cites Santorum as also stating that contraception is "not okay" and that if he were elected President that he would get rid of any idea that you have to have contraceptive coverage as a government policy.
Foster Friess (One of Rick Santorum's financial backers)
It was a very uncomfortable interview with Andrea Mitchell from MSNBC when billionaire and financial supporter of Rick Santorum, Foster Friess, joked about the birth control debate: "This contraceptive thing. My gosh, it's so inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."
Timothy Dolan (Archbishop of New York and head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops)
During a recent interview with The Associated Press Dolan said he would support legislation that would allow "any employer to deny birth control coverage if it runs counter to their religious or moral beliefs."
My personal observation: There sure are a lot of men in power who have opinions about women's contraceptives. How will these "opinions" affect us?
The Facts vs. Opinions:
• According to a recent Guttmacher report on religion and contraceptive use the use of contraception is the norm among religious women.
• The Guttmacher report found that among all women who have had sex, 99% have ever used a contraceptive method other than natural family planning. This statistic is pretty much the same for Catholic women (98%).
• Although most women have used contraception more than half of all women between the ages of 18-34 have difficulty affording it.
• According to a recent CBS/New York Times public opinion poll 66% vs. 26% of Americans support President Obama's proposal to require private health insurance plans to provide full coverage of birth control for women (no deductibles or co-pays). The majority of Americans still support this legislation even when the question was rephrased to include employers with a religious affiliation such as a hospital or university.
Legislative Update (The bottom line for women who wish to have their birth control covered by insurance):
In order to satisfy the needs of all constituents Obama delivered a compromise on February 10th of this year. Under the new policy institutions with a religious affiliation can seek an exemption from providing contraceptive coverage to women. Yet even if a woman's employer does not cover contraception due to this exemption, the new legislation will require that the women's insurance company pick up the tab instead.
Despite this compromise, some people are still unhappy including Archbishop Timothy Dolan as well as some insurance providers.
You can find the details of the amended legislation in the White House contraceptive regulation fact sheet.With months to go until election time, it is almost guaranteed that this debate will not go away anytime soon. We would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
Do you feel that President Obama's change to contraceptive coverage is a fair compromise? Or do you feel that this legislation is a "threat to religious liberty"? Would you personally like to see women's contraceptives fully covered by insurance? Let us know what you think. Your opinions are important to us.

Winser | May 8, 1990 |
Input data defines the address (X,Y), and an input color (RGB) and depth (Z) for a picture element (pixel) within a stored image. In order to perform hidden-surface removal (HSR), current depth values are stored for each pixel and compared with the input depth value to determine whether or not input data should be written to define a new color and depth for the pixel at (X,Y). The color and depth values are stored in a color RAM (9) and z-RAM (64). To obtain a speed advantage when modifying a series of consecutive pixels and one row of the RAMs, the current depth values are read and compared in advance for each pixel, during the writing period of one or more preceding pixels. The apparatus comprises a control and arithmetic unit (42), and a HSR control circuit (60) in addition to the color RAM (9) and z-RAM (64). The apparatus uses readily available video DRAM chips to provide a z-RAM with two data ports (62,66). The apparatus may form part of an electronic graphics system.

Topic: Mother 3 Fan Translation Almost Seriously Really Close to Being Released (Maybe)
After two and a half years of waiting, the guys over at the Mother 3 Fan Translation are reporting that all hacking is complete. That means that barring any super-bizarre bugs, the translation patch could be released soon.
You know, like, for reals. Finally.
They've posted a neat little video to Youtube showing that it does, in fact, really work, and looks slick as hell. Everything's translated, everything's super-polished, and it looks like it's the quality of a release a game like Mother 3 deserves.
So I guess now they just have to actually release the damn thing.

Everyone deserves a second chance.
As general manager of the Portland Storm, Jim Sutter knows this all too well. And he's in the perfect position to grant second chances like he's Santa Claus - even if he never gives himself one. When his friends take matters into their own hands, Jim might just get the holiday surprise of a lifetime.
Elaine Sutter is finally ready to forgive her ex-husband for his past transgressions and find a future with him again. So when she discovers his online dating profile, she sets up a secret meeting with the only man she's really ever loved. Her only goal this holiday season is to stuff Jim's stocking with a Santa-sized dose of forgiveness and a sleigh full of love. After all, a bit of mistletoe could wipe out all of Jim's previous misconduct and pave the way for a little fun under that holiday sprig.
Please note that this is a novella-length work, and was previously published in the 12 Christmas Romances to Melt Your Heart anthology.

"Finally! An HEA For The Hero"
The ultimate hero of the entire series gets his HEA. And in a charming, most unexpected way. I love that the novella involved other secondary characters but I wish Jim -the general manager- who has been a huge support to the coaches and players would've been given his turn with a full book. Loved it but wanted more.

Overpopulated, tourists and general traffic frequent the area especially on weekends interrupting the flow of your game. Angry, carnivorous ants inhabit every square foot of the park forbidding you to place your bag down anywhere as they will crawl over your bag strap and you will be in for very unpleasant and painful experience as the eat you alive... Some inviting aspects: many holes demand long drives and it's situated in a fresh, well-maintained green park (although many holes look similar and gets repetitive).

Lot of casting practice and VERY few fish got in the way. Hope to see you this fall. Pete R striblue 08-01-2010, 09:16 PM Thanks once again to all. All I can say about all this stuff in Chatham is This..." We were coming back from the island of Tinian to Letye, just dilivered the bomb, the Hiroshima bomb, a Japanese sub slamed two topedos in our side, we went down in 20 minutes. Our mission was so secret that no distress signal was sent. The first shark showed up , a 10 footer, know how you can tell Chief, by looking from the dorsal to the tail.....100 of them, I don't know maybe 1000. So we formed ourselves into squares, you know, like the battle of Waterloo. We lost maybe 6 men an hour, When a shark comes near you you hear all the thrashing and screaming. Sometimes the shark goes away....sometimes he don't. Then he bites you, and his eyes roll up, black lifeless eyes like a dolls eyes.... THe next morning I bump into a friend of mine, Herby Robinson, bosums mate,baseball player from Cleveland. I thought he was asleep and swam over to him and touched him....He tipped over like a top...well...he had been bitten inhalf below the waist....a little while later a big fat PBY come flying in, with a pilot ,a lot younger than Mr. Hopper here...soon a Lockheed Venture came swopping down and began picking us up. You know, that was when I most afraid ..waiting for my turn...I'll never put a life jacket on again..,1300 men went in the water 130 came out and the sharks took the rest, April,??, 1945 , Anyway..we delivered the bomb." THat was from memory. striblue 08-01-2010, 09:24 PM Sorry about the typos...I can not type well on a blackberry typing so fast and I can not seem to edit my post...very frustrating...But, I think I got most of Quint's speech...about the USS Indianapolis. vtloon 08-02-2010, 09:37 AM Just back from the woods. Happy Birthday Quint, er John. |

The Juicy Life
Comments Off on The Juicy LifeLately I've been using the term "juicy" quite a bit – and usually get a bit of reaction whenever I do.
Some people seem to love the word – and others are completely repulsed by it.
Interesting, huh?
For me, living juicy means I take risks, trust my intuition, follow my curiosity and give myself the permission to get off track once in a while as I explore, get lost — and find my way again.
Dealing with Cricketitis?
Comments Off on Dealing with Cricketitis?As a visibility strategist, I work with business owners who are looking to amplify their message and build a tribe of raving fans so that they can create an impact and reach their goals. I deal with many business owners who are stuck and sense that their magic isn't being communicated so they have a hard time standing out and differentiating themselves when connecting with their ideas clients. They end up feeling frustrated, depleted and defeated. Not fun. (more…)

Madame Antoine Ep 13 Eng Sub
This Madame Antoine Ep 13 Eng Sub drama is getting repetitive with the main romance. She finds out about something new about the experiments gets revenge for the first 40 minutes than he says something that convince her than she falls for the trap than she finds something new about the experiment and than starts a new plan for revenge. I like the cases even do most of the time is move on the back burner to show the romance. And I have to repeat myself that I love the relationship of the sister and the assistant they are so funny together they entertain me more in the 5 minutes of play time they get on the show than the 40 minutes of the main romance.
so i guess that's his mom who's finally coming along to see how her son's doing.. SH & SC.. different mothers, right? and i like Madame Antoine Ep 13 Eng Sub how the Writer insert another side story of his ex-classmate stealing his identity… good distraction from all the love stories within…
She was so beautiful. I like girls. She is an angel.

Totem 8 Lighting
Thursday 13 Jun 2013
Lightbox #5 LED table lamp - Form, function and energy conservation without sacrificing aesthetics. It function was specifically designed to address the use of LED's as a light source, and the form was generated by the juxtaposition of opposites: The tension between hard and organic materials, the mixing of warm and cold coloUrs, and the simplicity of combining the square and the circle shapes.
This table lamp, and all accompanying pieces, is currently available as custom-made, but will be in mass production through Totem 8 Lighting, by mid-September, 2013.

I wanna know who have fastest 94-95 Mustang with T5 tranny , I know a lot people use Tramec 3550 ,TKO , but who have fastest with T5 , thise include N/A , Blower and Turbo setup except N2O So give me times and HP/torque
12.2 NA.. 342/359 I will find out soon what i can do blown... With nitrous went 11.7 Thats on an untouched 126k mile stock tranny...
This guy did it with a bunch of stock parts. Stock tranny, balancer, MAF, cam, etc. EDELBROCK HEADS / STOCK CAM / COBRA INTAKE / VORTECH Ed (Zerort)-Mustang GT, 11.61 at 122 MPH : Stock short block, Stock pistons-cam-lifters-waterpump-oil pump, etc., Stock T-5 Tranny, Edelbrock Heads (1.90 x 1.60) w/light Cleanup Work, 1.7 Cobra Rockers, Cobra intake w/ported Lower, Stock MAF, Stock fuel rails, Stock Balancer, 65 MM Throttle Body, FRPP 36 lb Injectors, S-Trim Vortech w/ Alternative Auto intake system, 2.95 Blower Pulley, Tuned w/Autologic Software, 3.73 rear gears, MAC long tube headers, MAC O/R H-pipe, DynoMax Super Turbo Mufflers, Flowmaster Tailpipes.
Never been on the track but I still have the T5. It has had plenty of WOT, but no powershifts. I try to fully engage the clutch before I go back to WOT after a gear change. Hopefully it will last until I find a good replacement to handle my future plans for 700rwhp.
Yeahloh95 has run high 11's at 122mph with his T5. My best was a 12.73 with my T5 and it was hurting pretty bad... I didn't powershift it either.
So, in other words, our t-5 CAN handle quite a bit, just not enough, LOL I plan on building mine up with a D&D personally, since it's basically completely shot at the moment. Hopefully i won't blow it up for some time to come, although, it seems that i beat the H*** out of my cars. The stang is the only one that has held up so far...
yeah like killer said i made 455 rwhp and 438 rwtq and ran 11,s at 120 mph stock tranny and clutch !!!!! paul thinks i might be giving up some with a slipping clutch it only has 23 k on it right now!
Right now I rebuild my stock T5 with Synchros and blocker rings and some other stuff from D7D Performance, I gonna put new Cobra kit,( I was change with same 8 months ago / 8k and now pressure plate is gonefor no reason) I hopeso this T5 gonna hold my beating on the track and more important on street , I have little plan with 40hp ,so I think this yer I gonna end up with 250-260 HP at wheels
A buddy of mine (86style) on the corral made 550+RWHP This was with a 342 DART, S-TRIMMED, AFR-185ed combo. He still had the stock T5 and ran 130+ trap speeds with it. Now that very same T5 has been in my S-Trimmed GT for the past year and putting out 12PSI and still shifts beautifully!!!
a buddy of mine is using the stock T5 in his 89 GT vert and runs 10.8 @ 125 with stock shortblock, GT40 H/I, not sure about the cam, and vortech s-trim.

This is a 1992 wide AM cent but why is the FG like this? its more like an RDV-005 FG instead of the RDV-006 FG.
I just read here: http://www.errorvariety.com/Design/WAM-CAM.html RDV-005 exhibits a shallow and delicate FG (which is often polished with a reduction in detail); and has a wide spaced AM. Used on P, D & S from 1986-1988 The photo below shows a wide spread AM. so If this is correct then this 1992 wide AM has an FG error. because this FG was used from 1986-1988. Can someone help me here!!
You can cleary see this is not a RDV-006 the pictures I posted are clear enough and heres another example of the RDV-006 which this is not. this is a RDV-005
Hmmm...I don't think so. To me, it looks like the top part of the G does not extend far enough to resemble an 005. Yours may have been abraded slightly or some gunk on the coin may be obscuring its appearance. But I still think it is an RDV-006.
You can tell by the flatness on the bottom of G its the same as a RDV-005 the RDV-006 The G is rounded at the bottom take another look. that bit of gunk is not obscuring the G at all.
But also look at the blue line in the 5th pic of your first post. It shows the relative distances of the top of the G with the crossbar...notice how in the RDV-005, the top of the G extends at least as far as the crossbar of the G if not farther, with the RDV-006 stopping noticeably shorter of the crossbar. Now, compare that to the first picture of your first post...you will see that the top of the G does not extend over the crossbar.
The G's are totally different Im sending it over to mike Cause this is definitely an RDV-005. Thanks.
I cleaned the Gunk this is clearly a RDV-005 I know what im looking at I Have 1988 RDV-006 this FG is not an 006. this is an 005 look at how flat the bottom of the G is. You see it now?
Tommy, you evidently see it as an 005. I obviously do not see it the same as you, even after the new pictures. Look at how far the top of the G extends. That alone does not look like an 005. Sorry, still think it's 006. At any rate, either wait for an expert to chime in here or send it to Mike, and let us know the results...
I am not trying to be funny but do you know the difference between an 005 and a 006? I uploaded 2 reference photos The first one is the RDV-005 the second one is the RDV-006
Tommy, I consider myself well-aware of the different reverse design varieties. What do you have to say about the length of the top of the G? It obviously does not extend as far as what is seen in an RDV-005, and more closely resembles the normal RDV-006. Also, with the RDV-005 being retired after 1989, I would find it, let's say, unlikely that it survived for 4 more years after it was retired to strike more coins.
Its not a close AM and the G looks nothing like a RDV-006 so what would you call it? The length of the looks slightly longer on the bottom but it doesnt change the fact if You had to compare my find to those reference pictures one would easily go with the RDV-005 wouldnt You agree?
I'm sorry Tommy, no matter how many times I look at it I do not see an RDV-005. Wait for an expert on this one...
Tommy, Non_cent answered your question the same way at least a half dozen times, and you keep trying to get him to change his answer. After you said in your 2nd post, And he tried. It was just that his answer was different than you want. Ok, if you don't agree, wait until someone else might stop by. But if you seem so unappreciative towards someone trying to help, there will be few who wish to do so. No one is required to spend time checking photos and references to try and help, they will just skip your posts.
Who said I was unappreciative? I just didn't agree with Non_Cents but I was appreciative of his info I said Thank You to him also. so what are You talking about?
I am talking about post #4 #6 #8 #10 . #12 # 14 So one 'OK Thanks' is appreciative ?? Ok, whatever, but I think you are on the wrong track. Have a nice day.

Statistics for occurrence #1 of "Wm. Gardner" in chapter 4, page 128 of Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 8.:
...Quartermaster, stationed at the wheel, was also wounded.
After the wheel-ropes were shot away he went on the poop to assist at the signals, and remained there until ordered to reeve new wheelropes, Wm. Gardner , seaman, behaved so coolly under fire as to draw my particular attention to him. John Preston, landsman, though severely wounded, remained at his gun until obliged to go to the Surgeon.
He reported...

Quick question: I've read that Mosaic and Pathways were considered to be canon for Voyager when they came out. This was because they were written by Jeri Taylor and provided back story for the characters that writers of the show could use. I've also read that the details of the stores were later overwritten. How were these novels contradicted on the TV series or was it just that their details were incorporated into the TV series?
I think Mosaic is still consistent with canon, as far as I know. As for Pathways, many of its details about characters' backstories were contradicted by later seasons of the show after Taylor left -- such as B'Elanna's parents having different names, Harry knowing different people at the Academy (and in fact Pathways contradicted the previously established name of Harry's Academy roommate), etc. And the post-finale novels by Christie Golden contradicted Pathways with regard to Chakotay's backstory, the details about Harry's girlfriend Libby, etc. The one bio chapter in Pathways that I don't think has been contradicted by anything since is the Kes chapter, since she was gone from the show by the time Taylor left.
Janeway's backstory in Mosaic has also been incorporated into the Voyager Relaunch storyline. And I in particular remember Tom's backstory contradicted in later seasons
In "Coda" Janeways dead "father" referenced the crashed shuttle in an icecap, a major event in Mosaic.
