I had no problems installing any of the 4 different versions of BT5 in VMware Workstation (newest version, host is Linux). No need to do anything what you have listed there, just default settings everytime, so I wonder which version you using?
For the gnome version ensure that the settings for the guest operating system "Other 64-bit" are. Also provide at least 512 memory but abit more is better.
Normally it should work now. But if you keep having difficulties with the installer you can always use VirtualBox instead the gnome version installs on VB without any difficulties.
And now the problem child KDE 64-bit.
ensure that the settings for the guest operating system are "Other 64-bit".
I took 776 memory, (I had been trying for to long to keep a little bit of extra memory to be sure stand in my way)
For the processors change virtualization engine from 'Automatic' to 'Intel VT-x or AMD-V' and put 'Disable acceleration for binary translation' on. After the installation you can put both back on default.
Normally it should work now. Don't forget to apply the startx-fix (I had to remove only the 2 files in cache-root before install and after I had remove the once in cache-bt also)
For the installation in Virtualbox I used 'Other Linux' as operating system.
At the System menu:
- on the Motherboard tab put 'Enable IO APIC' on and make sure you got at least 512 Memory (think default is 320 or so)
- on the Processor tab put 'Enable PAE/NX' on
- and on the Acceleration tab make sure both options are on
These settings worked fine for me, now only have to find out how to install the guest-additions. Keep get an error because the installer can't find the sources of my current Linux kernel.
Hope some of you can finaly enjoy BT-5 KDE 64
Found the how-to on how to prepare kernel sources so guest-additions work now

Sorry thought that i gave the host and guest details but was in an other post so here they are:
Booting Gnome-64-bit and KDE-64-bit straight from iso, so not burned on a disk or used UNetbootin
VMware version: VMware 7.1.4
Host: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit - Intel i5 2.67GHz - *GB Ram
Guest details that didn't work: I tried different guest os version's and left everything on default. This gives you for example:
OS: Other Linux 2.6.x kernel 64-bit
Memory: 383 MB
So after doing some reading in found in the manual (yeah those thing are handy sometimes ):
Processors Settings Panel
Intel VT-x or AMD-V Uses hardware extensions to run and isolate guest code. This option also uses shadow page tables to map guest memory.
Disable acceleration for binary translation In rare instances, you might find that when you install or run software inside a virtual machine, Workstation appears to freeze. Generally, the problem occurs early in the execution of the program. In many cases, you can circumvent the problem by temporarily disabling acceleration in the virtual machine.
After you pass the point at which the program encountered problems, deselect this check box.
To conclude, the os type doesn't matter that much but when stuff crashes enable 'Disable acceleration for binary translation' and if you want to keep your host abit more save select 'Intel VT-x or AMD-V '

LONG BEACH - City officials today will announce the findings of an audit showing about $18 million in unpaid parking citations.
Financial planners, meanwhile, project a three-year, $26.1 million budget shortfall in Long Beach.
City Auditor Laura Doud declined to speak about the audit ahead of a planned joint press conference with Mayor Bob Foster's office. Both declined to release a copy of the report.
A pilot program was enacted in 2009 in an attempt to put the squeeze on scofflaws in connection with the 18,900 vehicles known to have five or more unpaid parking citations totaling $11.7 million from 2003 to 2007.
At the time, the city purchased 20 wheel clamps or "boots" for $500 each, or $10,000, to target offenders located by parking enforcement officers.
Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske claimed an update on the program and improvements to the city's citation collection system were never delivered.
She called the problem "disturbing" considering the reductions made during the past several years of continuing budget deficits.
"We need to clean house before we talk about cutting services again," Schipske said.
Schipske suggested that the city contract out billing and collection services for parking citations, ambulance and paramedic services or sell the uncollected revenue to an outside factoring agency that would pay the city a percentage of the amounts owed.

The Da Vinci Code: Part 2 of 3
Announcer:The 21st century has ushered in events and issues that cause us to ask, where is God in today's world? In response, Dallas Theological Seminary presents DTS Dialogue - Issues of God in Culture: The Da Vinci Code.
Written by Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code is a fictional thriller that has captured the coveted number one sales ranking at Amazon.com, camped out for 40 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list, and inspired a one-hour ABC News special. Along the way, it has sparked debates about Western culture and Christian history.
While the ABC News feature assessed Brown's fascination with an alleged marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, The Da Vinci Code contains many other false claims about Christianity's historic origins and theological development.
The following dialogue, hosted by Dr. Mark Bailey took place with Drs Jeffrey Bingham and Darrell Bock and, both of whom participated in the ABC special. Dr Bock's own book on the topic, Breaking the Da Vinci Code, also was a New York Times bestseller. Listen in to their discussion about the novel, the opportunities that it's created and the problematic history and theology proposed within its pages.
Mark Bailey:Talking primarily about Christ, the Gospels, but this leads to a broader discussion of how the Old Testament books and the New Testament books that ultimately became a part of scripture were recognized as authoritative.
Let's talk, Jeff, you and Darrell talked to me a little bit, discuss with us, how really did that process start, how long did it take, and what were some of the we call canons for accepting these books as scripture.
Jeff Bingham:Yeah, I think we have to begin, Mark, with faith rather than with reason or with procedure. The process which Darrell just explained to us was a process which believed that the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, was overseeing the growth of the church. Jesus had promised that he would leave the Comforter with us, the Comforter who would guide us into all truth.
So the early church had a faith, that that which the Apostles preached was going to be overseen by the Spirit as it was passed down to those disciples that the Apostles themselves made as it was then taken throughout the world. So people sitting in a community church service in Antioch or in Alexandria, Egypt, or in Rome would hear their church leaders stand up and preach, and they would hear him preach with the faith that he was passing on to them that which he had received from his teacher who had received it from the Apostles. And the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit of God, was overseeing this whole process.
Eventually,it culminates in the inscripturation, and then this is also passed down. But, it's not happening in private, it's happening in community -- I'm coming to the church to have the Old Testament read -- because I don't have a personal copy of the Old Testament at home, I certainly don't have a copy of one of the Gospels in the earliest part of Christianity, so I have to come together with other Christians, and it's with other Christians where the Spirit is working, and so I have faith that the gates of hell are not going to stand against the kingdom and that the Spirit is overseeing this whole process.
That same faith is involved in their understanding of the formation of the Christian canon. It is the Spirit who is going to guide the church into recognizing inspired documents versus the non-inspired documents. The true Gospels versus the false gospels. So this is the virtue of faith.
Not the modernistic lust after reason, not the post-modernistical lust after absence of reason and faith and a variety of opinions, but faith that the Spirit is going to guide us into the one true way. So the recognition of the Christian canon is a Spirit-guided process which is all about recognizing inspired documents.
What are some of the ways in which the early church believed that the Spirit led them through that process?
Well, one was this: we're only going to accept a document that, first of all, recognizes the importance and the rightful place, the essential contribution of the Old Testament. We're not going to accept any document that is anti-Old Testament, because Christians believe that the Old Testament is the first part of the Christian canon, the first part of the Christian collection of sacred texts.
Of course, there was a heretic that had arisen in the second century by the name of Marcion.
Marcion was teaching that you couldn't rely upon the Old Testament, you couldn't trust the Old Testament God. So the first thing the church is going to look for are books which are in continuity with the Old Testament. Christianity has its roots in Judaism. It has its roots in the Old Testament; it is rooted in Abraham, before it's rooted in the persons of the New Testament.
Secondly, early Christians are going to appreciate those documents which are in continuity with the teaching of the Apostles. They are not going to accept a Gospel which, for instance, denies the bloody slaughter of Jesus Christ on the cross. A Gospel which wants to make this mainly an event that happened in appearance but not in reality, the church is going to reject. There was an entire host of heretics known as the Docetists. They get their name from the Greek word Dokeo, "I seem or I appear to be" but I'm not really.
So the Docetists were teaching that Jesus just seemed or appeared to be a human being but wasn't really, or that he just seemed or appear to die on the cross, but didn't really. So that we're looking for Gospels, the early Christians would say, which proudly proclaim the honest actual incarnation of Christ in real flesh, in actual bone, that had real blood vessels and meat. We are also going to acknowledge Gospels that don't rip him into two, a human and a God. We want our Lord Jesus Christ to be one in the same as Irenaus taught us.
We're also going to take proudly his bloody slaughter upon the cross. There are other doctrinal issues as well, but they are looking for continuity with the apostolic preaching which of course was rooted in Jesus himself. And of course the teachings Jesus himself teaches us are given to him by the Father.
In addition to that they're going to accept documents which the early Christian community is edified by because that which is inspired edifies the community. It is the Spirit who is revealing to us truth and nurturing us in the New Covenant blessings of sanctification, leading us toward Christ, writing the law upon our heart, turning our heart of stone into heart of flesh. So they're looking for Gospels, they're looking for apostolic writings that edify the community. Which texts bring the community together rather than separate? Which texts does the community find helpful in their growth and spirituality?
They're looking for those texts -- to put a final capstone on the entire thing -- which are apostolic. They're looking for texts that are either written by an apostle or written by a disciple of an apostle or someone who is closely associated with a disciple. They're looking for the connection of these texts with one of those that was commissioned by Jesus Himself. Because Jesus is the source of all truth, and He passes down to his disciples -- we're looking for a biblical writing that is associated with one of them. So, for instance, Paul's writings: apostolic. We have a Gospel linked with Matthew the Apostle: apostolic.
But we also have some that are not, peculiarly, apostolic. Luke for instance: not an apostle, but closely connected with an apostle (the Apostle Paul). Mark, not necessarily an apostle but clearly associated with the Apostle Peter. The apostolicity of the documents is a key element in recognition of what gets in and what's not going to get in.
Darrell Bock:Jeff's highlighted the theological dimensions of this and what they were looking for theologically. At a historical level you're dealing with the principle of the apostolic connections, apostolic roots that he's talked about and the kind of theology that affirms a connection with the promise of God going back into Judaism and into the roots of Judaism as expressed in the Old Testament.
You also have the principle of use. And by "use" you mean "widespread use". These documents were rising up to the surface. Those documents that were selected were those documents that many, many, many communities were using, not just some communities were using. In the process of the recognition of the canon, which does span from the time of the end of Jesus Christ all the way up to the middle of the 4th century, actually beyond Nicaea, in terms of the New Testament, we finally get the list of 27 from Athanasius in 367, I believe it is, and then that gets confirmed later on.
What is going on here in this movement is the recognition of use. There are some books that are excluded that actually are quite respected in the church. They are orthodox, they teach good teaching: First Clement, Sheperd of Hermas, Didache. So this wasn't just a matter of saying, "These are in, and those are out, and those are bad." It was a case of saying, "These are exceptional."
These documents that we are recognizing are really different, of a different class, than anything else. Some of the other works that are circulating through the church are valuable for our people to read and we want them to be involved, and other things that are circulating through the church are damaging. There were those kinds of distinctions being made in the midst of this process. Eusibius has kind of a four-level process that he is engaged in by the time we get to the 4th century. So use was another important factor.
A final factor that helped in this, and it's a combination of things, was both the rise of these false groups which was generating the need to recognize what was really authentic and what wasn't, alongside the issue of persecution. Because some persecutions were demanding that Christians burn their sacred texts. Well, if you are going to burn your sacred texts, you've got to know which texts it is you're supposed to burn. So, [laughs] in that process, you had that element also.
So, when you put it all together you've got apostolic rootage in theology, which goes back to both Judaism and to the Apostles. You have the widespread use of this material that is causing it to rise to the top and be evident that this is what the church is using. The Spirit is working through the churches to show this is exceptional material. You've got the rise of these false groups which is putting pressure to identify the genuine. And, you've got the element of persecution which is telling you, we've got to know which are our sacred books when they ask us what it is we are supposed to destroy. It's an odd mix at a historical level, but it is very much what was in play that produced our recognition of the canon.
Mark:The irony is, by the time you get to the time of Constantine, almost all of the New Testament was accepted as scripture. Hebrews and Revelation were a little bit late in that process because of the question of authorship. But I'm fascinated by the discussion, in that what The Da Vinci Code seems to question implicitly, rather than explicitly, is the very factors that went into the question of canonicity, the humanity and the deity of Jesus Christ, and to think that that was not discussed or even decided upon until the 4th century with Constantine, has no historical root.
Jeff: Not that I know of.
Darrell:Not at all. I think that this is one of the sad features of the novel. It's an entertaining novel, it's a good read at one level, but historically it is a sieve in terms of the way it handles information.
Mark:Let me as you a question related to that as it comes out of this. Brown makes so many historical, philosophical, mythological, and religious statements in his novel that are presented as supposed truth.
Darrell: Correct.
Mark:It's sort of narration art, in which those are not the pieces the reader are supposed to be worried about. How does the average reader sort out truth from error in a novel that has so many allusions to history, religion and art that seem to be the most easily verifiable and in reality, there's error after error after error that people are exposing about this book just in the facts, let alone in the presuppositions, which we'll go on to talk about.
Darrell:Let me give you one example. At one point in the book, he says that there are 80 gospels from which the church chose. Now there are two problems here. One, there are not 80 gospels out there to choose from. We have probably no more than a dozen that are actually called gospels in that range, although we may have a total number of early Christian documents from the first few centuries that number into the sixties, seventies, or eighties.
But what's even more misleading about that is the idea that what happened is that one day a group of guys walked into a council, on a table they laid out all these works, all 80 of these works, went through them, read them, picked and choosed, said "I like that one", "I don't like that one, I like that one." It was kind of like, "She loves me; she loves me not." And, in the end, we ended up with four Gospels and the collection that we have. That's not the process that happened at all.
What happened was, the church was utilizing many of these documents. They were coming to the surface. By the time we came to the end of the second century, we had basically the collection of Paul and the four-fold gospel that was well established by that point. And then most of the discussion that rotated around the New Testament after that rotated around a handful of books: Second Peter, Jude, James, Revelation, Hebrews you have already mentioned. It was those handful of books that continued to be discussed. The others were well established in terms of their authority and what it was they were showing.
So it was not an idea of picking something out of the hat three centuries later. No, what happened is that these texts emerged and surfaced in such a way the church with the Spirit in her midst had come to recognize these were the documents that God had left as a -- if you will -- a special gift to the church to understand what the Christian faith was all about.
Jeff:Yeah. Brown is a novelist without historical discrimination, Mark, and to just choose one of the books which Darrell mentioned, the book of Revelation. Already in 180, with Irenaeus, the Bishop of Lyon in modern day France, he is using the book of Revelation strongly in his development of Christian theology.
But even more important that that, is that there is a group of martyrs who were killed in the city of Lyon, from the two cities of Vienne and Lyon, approximate to each other. And they are taken to the amphitheater in Lyon to be put to death, and we have a letter written by these churches accounting this martyrdom. What is fascinating is that in 177 the author or authors of this letter are using the book of Revelation in order to explain, and to encourage, and to interpret what is going on in this martyrdom.
They understand themselves, before the time of the eschatological consummation, to be participants in the martyrdom which will become climactic at the end of history, based upon the very words, citations, quotations from the book of Revelation. You don't go to death and interpret your death in light of a book about which you have doubts and questions.
Darrell:So if you ask the question, "Where does someone go to find this out?" There are many good treatments of the canon that exist that go through this history. I think of Bruce Metzger's book on The Canon of the New Testament, it's a very fine summary of the ancient evidence, walks through the categories that I've talked about in some detail. The trouble is is that most people don't even know that this literature is out there, but it is. So, it isn't a case of walking into a vacuum.
Some people will try and find it on the net. The net is good and bad, it's a blessing and a curse at the same time because some of the information on the net may be good and steer you in good directions, other information on the net is problematic, and sometimes it's hard to tell what you're dealing with when you're on an individual web page.
Mark: It's a flea market of ideas.
Darrell: It sure is, flea market is a good word for it, and sometimes you better scratch.
Mark: That's right. [laughs]
Part of the title of the book, "Da Vinci", relates to Leonardo Da Vinci. Talk to me about The Da Vinci Code, the title of the book and the connection to Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper", especially as it relates to Mary Magdalene.
Darrell:Well, the claim here is that Leonardo Da Vinci was a member of this secret guild that understood what the real history was of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, that is that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had these children, and so he would put little indications and codes in some of his works. One of those works is the painting "The Last Supper", and the claim is that in the place where you see the largest "V" in the painting, which is off to Jesus' right, where supposedly the beloved disciple is John. This is a rather long-haired, almost feminine-looking figure, so he has secretly painted into this spot Mary Magdalene, because the "V" is the sign of the feminine.
What they don't tell you is that on the other side of the painting there also is another V, not quite as prominent but it's still there and visible. It has to do with the shaping of the painting. No one is suggesting that there is a second woman on the other side, nor are they telling you how you know thats it's a woman on one side of the V and not of the other. So again, this is an example of, as I see it, Dan Brown playing with us a little bit in this kind of detail that has the feel of mystery behind but really doesn't have very much to it at all.
Mark:Part of the plot of the novel is what he calls the "Divine Feminine", which is the cult of the female goddess from way back in history and the elevation of that thought in contrast to the male portrayal of Jesus and the biblical faith of God the Father. So theres a lot of agenda underpinnings that come through this. Most art historians would reject the idea; in fact almost all art historians would reject the idea that its Mary Magdalene in the painting and that it's a youthful Apostle John.
This whole elevation of Mary, why all the interest in that? What are some of the reasons why Mary Magdalene ought to be elevated in thinking and why do they think the church, and especially in the book it seems thats it's directly attacking the Catholic Church and its papacy, why all that intrigue about Mary Magdalene?
Darrell:Well there are a couple things coming together here. You do have some strands in early Gnostic thought with regard to cosmology, the way in which the worlds were created, that suggest that you have a male and a female element in the God head that's helped to produce the creation.
So there are some elements that are playing off of some of this imagery. I think it helps to explain and produce the imagery of the contrast between Orthodoxy being represented by a male figure, like Peter, and this Gnostic movement being represented by a female figure, like Mary Magdalene.
Actually what you have in these extra-biblical Gospels is this male/female symbolism. Which really isn't about the real Peter's relationship to the real Mary Magdalene or Mary Magdalene's real relationship to Jesus. It's really about the conflict between these Orthodox groups that are rooted in a developing set of bishops claiming to be descended from Peter, and this more open, revelatory kind of religious faith that Mary Magdalene represents because she received this revelation as a result of the appearances.
One of the keys to this Gnosticism, to this fringe theology, is the idea that we have direct access to revelation that is in contrast to the apostolic testimony of these apostolic works, at least to some degree. So just because works are recent is not a problem, because they have allegedly come directly from the Lord.
This is one of the claims that's going on in the debate between what became orthodox Christianity and these Gnostic movements. That's being exploited in this discussion. The other element that's going on here... now that's the ancient element. The modern element is that there is something attractive and politically correct about a woman having a major visible role in matters of religion.
And so the Sacred Feminine feeds into this, as well as the idea that Mary may have had -- the claim is, had a leadership role in the church. The claim is that, "See, we have some examples of women having high roles. In fact, she had such a high role that we see in certain texts where Peter and Mary are in argument with one another and it's having to be resolved."
Mark: In these Gnostic Gospels?
Darrell:In these Gnostic Gospels. The gospel of Mary, for example, has a very famous scene in which Jesus has appeared to Mary directly, outside of Peter's knowledge, and Peter is upset towards the end of this Gospel that this has taken place. Levi steps in as a mediator and says "Oh, Peter, you're a hothead. You really shouldn't give her a hard time. The Lord knows how worthy she is and that she's worthy of this revelation." Then, at least where the Gospel breaks off, they go out and they all preach and they all take the Gospel into the world.
So at a surface level it seems like a wonderful text to claim that Mary had a role, a major role, she was the equal of the Apostles. This was a major strand of Christianity. In fact, we know that what was more likely to be going on is we have symbolism wrapped up in this scene and the symbolism of the scene is that Peter represents orthodoxy, which is unfairly picking upon this minority view represented by the woman. The woman is standing up for herself and there are other people coming to her aid and defending her. That's probably what's going on in the end of this text. So it isn't a historical discussion about Mary's real relationship to Jesus or Peter's relationship to Mary at all.
Mark: It's a philosophical...
Darrell:It's a philosophical -- It's a parable. It is a parable of the conflict that's going on in the second century and that's whats being depicted. This document is defending the role of these groups to have this direct revelation which is being pictured in the form of a, if I can say it this way, an abused woman, she's being abused by Peter.
Jeff: And we don't have to go to the Gnostic Gospels, Darrell or Mark, to find a high view of women in the life of the church.
Mark: Exactly.
Jeff:So that, of course, the New Testament Gospels themselves project this, as Darrell shared earlier with us, you have hypolotists declaring that Mary is the 'apostle to the apostles,' the messenger of the good news of resurrection. You have other church fathers speaking of Mary Magdalene as "the tower of faith," because she is the one who believes the Word and who conveys it.
You have others who oppose her -- set her in contrast to -- for instance, the woman of the fall, Eve; and yet here is the woman of faith, Mary, who believes the word of the Lord and is not distracted in it. So you find the orthodox Fathers speaking favorably of her.
Women in the early church were put before us as spiritual giants. Many of the martyrs of the early church. Blandina, in 177 -- the case that I was referring to earlier -- she is the one that the letter from the churches of Vienne and Lyon point to as the one who -- in her own martyrdom and suffering -- encourages the men to bear the stake and to bear the beast and to bear the fire.
It is her own courage that helps other Christians to gather up their courage. We find other women, women going into the aesthetic life in order to give themselves over to full-time service, not office, but in full-time service. And so we find them not entering into the office, but in terms of the gifts and in terms of their devotion, and in terms of their leadership in the sense of being an example of faith and of spirituality. We find this constantly throughout the testimony of the early church.
Darrell:We also find it in the New Testament. Luke in Luke and Acts goes out of his way to point out many great women of faith as you go through. You can start with Elizabeth, and with Anna, and with Mary, mother of Jesus, at the very start of the story. You can go through and find the four daughters of Philip who are prophetesses who are functioning. Mary Magdalene is an outstanding example as well.
So we have women running through the Scripture who are affirmed for their commitment to the faith and for their access to Jesus. Which in the context of first century culture, again we have to remind ourselves that first century culture and our culture are very different, in first century culture a woman really was a second-class citizen in the full sense of that term. There was debate among some of the Jewish rabbis as to whether a woman should be taught the Torah or not. Women were viewed in some cases as being dangerous to teach, and we have books even in some of the Jewish wisdom literature -- Sirac, etc. -- where these kinds of warnings are set forth.
So, Jesus comes along and he allows a woman to sit as his feet, like Mary, the sister of Martha. And he embraces these women, he allows them to be a part of his discipleship entourage, as Luke 8:1-3 shows. This is an embracing of the role of women -- it's not everything that some today might wish it were -- but it certainly is a major affirmation of the role of women in being responsive to the gospel. So, in the midst of this discussion about what's going on with the agenda here, we should not lose sight of the fact that there's a significant affirmation of the role of women in scripture.
Jeff: Right.
Mark:Some who would be listening to us talk about this are pastors and teachers in churches, Christian schools. And they, on a Sunday morning, are going to have a third or half of their people who may have been privy to read this novel in their leisure time, heard about it on the news. Both of you represented evangelical faith on the ABC special that was done about The Da Vinci Code.
What would you tell the pastor whose people are going to be reading this book, and for some, it's going to open up a whole set of questions they've never had to answer before. How do you help that pastor in that local church? What should he be saying or what should he be doing to help his people wrestle with this cultural issue at the time? And I know there's more besides this book on the table of the cultural discussion, and I want to ask about that, but Jeff, what would you suggest, and then Darrell, I'll turn to you and I'll chime in.
How do we prepare our pastors, and how does a pastor prepare his people, or a teacher prepare her class that might ask her about it, in women's Bible study, for example. What's a right response?
Jeffrey:I think it begins, Mark, first of all by the pastor or bible study leader, first of all to recognize this reality: A pastor is, first of all, and never outgrows and never overcomes, that his first calling is to be the church's theologian. Let me say it again. The first calling of every pastor is to be the church's theologian. So pastors need to go back into their pulpits, they need to go into their Sunday school rooms. They need to reclaim the lectern from which they speak, the home bible studies in which they teach. They need to reclaim their new members classes as areas and environments in which Christian doctrine is taught.
So they need to make sure that their communities understand the basis for why we believe that this is our collection of Holy Scriptures. Have a sermon series on canon. Have a sermon series on the doctrine of inspiration and inherency. They need to understand why the view of Christ as God is not a creation of 325 at the Council of Nicea, but is something that arises from the texts of scripture and something which has been confessed by Christians throughout the centuries.
They need to take their communities back into the arena of doctrinal education, of doctrinal information and training. Preach a series of sermons on the deity of Christ. Preach a series of sermons on the humanity of Christ.
They need to be able to train their people in the faith. We've lost this main Christian virtue of faith, Mark. We are first of all what we believe. We are brought to Christ by faith and we never outlive that virtue -- we never grow beyond it. We are always defined essentially as Christian on the basis of what we believe. Pastors, please, teach us what we believe.
Because if they had been ministered to, in the doctrines which I just mentioned -- and more besides -- when they were to pick up a novel like The Da Vinci Code, they would immediately recognize this not as a challenge to their faith, but as a laughable mystery novel without historical or doctrinal discrimination. The pastor can pave the way to protect his flock from this book and others if he just remembers his first calling. He is the church's theologian.

Mines partners with Xcel Foundation in clean energy technology research
DENVER, Colo., Oct. 14, 2008 – The Colorado School of Mines Colorado Energy Research Institute (CERI) and its partners recently demonstrated the initial results of research funded by a $300,000 grant from Xcel Energy through its Foundation. The research will lead to cleaner energy and a cleaner environment in Colorado.
The grant helped establish the Colorado Clean Energy and Environment Project that is administered by CERI, which is managed through Mines. Other project partners include the University of Colorado and Colorado State University.
The project demonstrations focused on new technologies enabling better integration of small-scale photovoltaics on the electricity grid of the future; a better understanding of how energy consumers may respond to future policy that allows for increased consumer-level energy management; compressed-air energy storage sites in Colorado; and carbon management technologies and storage opportunities in Colorado.

A Yeadon woman has celebrated her 100th birthday with her favourite fish and chips.
Mary Aivison, a loyal customer of The Wetherby Whaler, chose the Guiseley restaurant to host her 100th birthday party, where she was joined by her nieces and nephews.
Mary regularly visits the restaurant with her family and decided it was the perfect way to mark her milestone birthday. As well as fish and chips, the party enjoyed birthday cake and reminiscing with a collage of pictures of Mary throughout her lifetime.
Born in Yeadon, Mary worked at Ben Brown's greengrocers in Yeadon high street and was a dinner lady at Yeadon Westfield Junior School. Formerly a fan of the original Harry Ramsdens, Mary is now a huge supporter of The Wetherby Whaler, a Yorkshire-based fish and chip restaurant chain that stepped in to save the iconic fish and chip restaurant in Guiseley.
Mary said: "I love Wetherby Whaler fish and chips, so I thought it was the best way to celebrate my special day.
"The staff went the extra mile to make sure that I really enjoyed my birthday and the food was fantastic as usual – maybe a regular portion of fish and chips is the secret of my longevity and good living!"

"Beta" Framework Details Criteria, Indicators, and Shared Metrics for High-Quality Career Pathway Systems
Jul 23, 2013
Today's education and workforce development systems were designed for different times. They reflect an era when postsecondary credentials were not required by nearly two-thirds of the workforce and lifelong learning was more avocational than a key ingredient to sustained individual economic security and global competitiveness. That's why these systems were not designed to provide all workers with a seamless path to earning credentials and, despite all good intentions, have shortcomings and disconnects that can block the road to educational and economic success.
Career pathways is an emerging approach that connects progressive levels of basic skills and postsecondary education, training, and supportive services in specific sectors or cross-sector occupations in a way that optimizes the progress and success of individuals— including those with limited education, English, skills, and/or work experience—in securing marketable credentials, family-supporting employment, and further education and employment opportunities. Career pathways help employers meet their workforce needs and help states and communities strengthen their workforces and economies. This approach reorients existing education and workforce services from a myriad of disconnected programs into a structure that focuses on the workforce needs of employers and on the education and training needs of individuals as they pursue their career paths.
States and local regions have experimented with career pathways for about a decade, and many models and definitions have emerged. Without a common and specific definition of career pathways, the variation can be confusing and there is no shared understanding among and between practitioners, policymakers, funders, and employers as to what constitutes high-quality career pathways and systems. To address this challenge, last summer CLASP launched The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways, a two-year (2012-2014), state-driven, CLASP-led initiative funded by the Joyce Foundation and James Irvine Foundation. The purpose of the Alliance is to develop 1) a framework of criteria and indicators that define high-quality career pathway systems and 2) a set of shared performance metrics for measuring and managing the success of these systems. The Alliance includes ten states that are leading the nation in experience with developing and taking to scale career pathways and that have volunteered to work together to develop the Alliance framework. These states are Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The Alliance framework is intended to provide a common understanding of high-quality career pathway systems and programs. State and local/regional partnerships adopting the career pathway approach—within and beyond the ten Alliance states—can use the Alliance framework to build and strengthen their career pathway systems. This will enable them to provide seamless career paths that transcend the system disconnects and provide essential supports for youth and adults to build their skills, earn credentials of value, and obtain jobs and careers that support themselves and their families.

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) announced that the Calibre® nmLVS product now provides comprehensive support for the iLVS interoperable rule specification used by TSMC for new design kits. This allows customers to define and customize complex IC design rules, as needed, while maintaining compliance with TSMC specifications and allowing seamless adoption of EDA vendor performance optimizations.
The iLVS specification, which was co-developed by Mentor and TSMC, separates the rule definition syntax from underlying rule implementations. This allows Mentor to optimize the underlying implementation, reducing the need for users to tune the general rule specifications themselves. Moreover, by using iLVS in conjunction with the Calibre nmLVS Advanced Device Properties (ADP) facility, the Calibre tool users can also establish modules for device building, enabling device model reuse and simplifying model customization for unique parameters. Previously, such customizations required manipulation of detailed SVRF scripts.
The iLVS syntax is one of two definitions jointly developed by TSMC and Mentor Graphics: iDRC, and iLVS — for describing physical verification and layout vs. schematic (LVS) rules. In addition, Mentor is also supporting TSMC's iRCX syntax so mutual customers have a complete set of interoperable verification solutions from Mentor. The definitions make it possible for TSMC and its customers to create verification decks that will work with the Mentor Calibre tool offerings as well as other verification products that support the specification. They also make it possible for Mentor to independently optimize the implementations to maintain performance to end users as the underlying process rules are updated by TSMC.
"The iDRC, iLVS and iRCX languages benefit both TSMC and its customers by making it possible to define and customize complex verification rules for each of our processes that can, in turn, drive verification tools from any supporting vendor," said Tom Quan, director of EDA Alliances marketing at TSMC. "This enables us and our customers to easily adapt design rules to new requirements or special situations without worrying about tuning and testing for different tool flows. We've worked closely with Mentor to co-define the architecture and syntax of these specifications and have completed validation on the Calibre tool suite as our lead implementation platform."
"Our collaboration with TSMC on the definition of iDRC and iLVS, along with support of iRCX, makes it easier for our mutual customers to implement their own IP in TSMC decks and still maintain high performance and compliance with TSMC specifications," said Michael Buehler-Garcia, director of Calibre Design Solutions Marketing at Mentor Graphics. "With this collaboration, TSMC ensures their design guidelines are delivered in a consistent manner to all qualified vendors, and Mentor can use its proprietary technology to continue delivering industry leading verification platforms with the fastest and most efficient underlying code possible."
The iDRC, iLVS and iRCX specifications are based on the open source TCL language extended with specialized functions for verification. They have been validated on the Calibre platform for 65nm and 40nm designs manufactured at TSMC, and will be rolled out as part of the TSMC reference flow for 28nm designs. The Calibre implementation converts iDRC, iLVS and iRCX decks into highly-tuned native Calibre SVRF calls for optimum runtime performance. It also includes an interactive TCL debugger with breakpoints and variable monitors integrated with a layout debugger, which is part of the Calibre Results Viewing Environment (RVE), and a special in-line SVRF viewer.

post the specs on your system.
Hello from an absolute Linux-beginner from Germany, who does neither know what Linux is nor even speaks good english.
But I hope any Linix-specialist will help me anyway to become my bt2 running (specially the GUI).
I try to describe briefly what happens: PC (elder laptop) starts from CD, asks name root password toor and shows then the DOS-PROMPT (don know how the command line is called in Linux, but so far all is OK).
After input of startx CD-ROM starts nearly endless working and then a yellow mouse pointer on a black screen remains nothing else. Finally one often only can pull off the accumulator to boot again.
What can I make, in order to isolate the problem? (as I have no WLAN-connection and the gui doesn't work, I am unfortunately not able to post any log files here) (P.S. the CD is burned correctly).
So please help me to use Linux/Bt2
post the specs on your system.
Flux works at the beginning, but I can not start aplications like firefox or so (system crashes).
But now I know why it does not work properly as I meanwhile heard, that my Laptop needs 256MB RAM for BT2 ...
same prob with my pc desktop, xconf doesn't help much, i freezed sooner or later. i use my laptop to experiment now.

I'm looking to learn a php framework and work on my personal project and professionally of course. Codeigniter and Yii are the two frameworks that looks interesting to me. Which one do you think I should learn and why?
If you ask me about one think that I look for out of my codes is that I want my site/ script to run the fastest.
Looking forward to your opinions.
I haven't used Yii before (or heard of it for that matter) but I always work with CodeIgniter and it's incredibly simple to get projects going in it. That being said, the CodeIgniter framework is no longer being actively developed so it's future is uncertain.
Are you sure? I see the latest release was on 5th June 2014http://ellislab.com/blog/entry/codeigniter-2.2.0-released
Nearly 1 year have passed, still it didn't find a new home?
Not as far as I know. To be honest, if you're looking to learn a new framework that you can use professionally, I'd recommend either Laravel or Symfony2, with Laravel having a smoother learning curve and perhaps being a better choice for developers coming from a CodeIgniter background.
Thanks fretburner, Do you know anything about Yii ?
I don't I'm afraid. I think there might be some others that hang around the forums that use it though.
Yii V1 was last released Aug 2013.
Yii V2 Beta was released April 2014.
So now you need to decide if you want to invest time learning an old version.
Or go with the latest and greatest moving target.
You really should consider going a modern established framework as @fretburner suggested. Silex/Laravel/Symfony 2.

First of all, thanks for the patience and support. It's been an age since Volume III hit these forums, and regretfully, it was a hell of a trip getting from that version to this one, for obvious reasons. First things first, thank you to all of you who have donated to the PC Fund, and made it possible to be picking up a new PC in the week. I'll also like to itterate my thanks to all the guys and girls who have kept this forum running over the last month while I've been ultra busy. Your messages, and (entertainment) have kept hope alive on this project, and I thank each and every one of your for whatever kinda post you've made, whether encouraging, excited, suggestive, or dam right crazy. And to the latest bunch of crazy conversations, dam, u guys know how to knock each other outta the ballpark. Finally BlackRose got the kinda conversation she enjoys having. LOL!!!
Anyways, so here it is, Volume IV. It has 95% of the suggestions i've made in the Feature Packs, and a few more. But sadly, I haven't had the time, or internet access, to collect the Donatees Nicks so I could put you guys in Volume IV as I promised. But you guys know who you are, so heres another Thank You from me to you. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the new release. It's probably buggy as crap, so let me know whats happening and I'll add it to my TODO list for Volume V. On a sad note, Progress will slow down a bit due to my hectic work schedule, but I'll try my best to keep things ticking with progress reports and so on. Concepts will change, and Volume V will be a graphical update. Anyways, enjoy and stay well. I think this was worth the wait, but who knows, maybe it sucks, LOL! L8r boys and girls! No screenshots for now, coz they've already been spread all over the place. So look for them in here if u want!!! I'll update the release thread after this, but I don't have the time now, to update the screeners, sorry dudes!

nice release!
A few things I noticed...
1) In 'TV Shows' -- how can I remove "(W:, U" from the display?
- I tried turning off Watched overlays, thinking it was this?
2) Frames seems to be a very personal preference. I'm wondering if just removing the frames completely... this would allow the image to be larger (easier to see for us old people) and end the requests for changes.
3) I like the addition of the small angled panels at the bottom... are you planning to match the time/weather & RSS panels to that style... I think it would be cool!
again, thx for the release!

Awesome, thanks for that fix!
I have to say, I like the new skin as a whole, but those new frames have got to go. the top-left corner is badly drawn, but even if it were perfect it still doesn't work. Then the dynamic info panel is up in Info views, the asymmetrical frame also creates a weird optical illusion whereby the panel looks bent out of shape as well.
I do hope someone fixes it, as the rest of the skin is very nice.
One thing though - is it just me or has the RSS feed stopped working?

thx .. works great now
my only suggestion for this dialog would be maybe to somehow let the user know the progress of the scan
in Rocky's fix .. where it says Library .. how about have it cycle through the letters of the alphabet which correlate with the progress
this would also mesh well with the rest of the skin cause normally that part of the dialog box holds a single letter that correlates with the item selected

A few niggles from me...
The RSS feed takes ages to get going. It should be as soon as it starts up.
Fanart - far too slow to load, and that "eye" background inbetween them is annoying.
If anyone knows how to fix both of these, I'll be a happy bunny.

I am not having any RSS issues from what I can tell.
I'm wondering what it would look like if we completely remove all the cover frames, in every category... I don't think they really add anything, and they may detract considering there is already so much eye candy on screen.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Yeah thats the one ROcky, and I know there are alot of others who would rather do without it. Seems to be a 50/50 split at the moment. I just think its quality is below the rest of the skin.

What do we do with the .xpr ?
If I have helped you in any way, please forgive me, it was entirely accidental.

text: Surprising no one who comes here daily, Melanie Griffith finally filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas. The couple has been married for 18 years but over the past several years they have barely spent any time together while Antonio squired a bunch of different women. Does anyone use the word squired? Melanie is asking for child support which she will probably get, but Stella is almost 18 so that won't last long. Melanie is also asking for spousal support and she should ask for a ton. She deserves it. Hell, it will cost thousands just to rid herself of all her Antonio tattoos. I'm glad she is finished trying to make it work because he made no effort at all and she should have left him two years ago when this all started.

Psion has shortened its operating company name, removing the name "Teklogix" to create a more effective global brand. Psion's corporate identity has also been refreshed to work better in the digital world. These developments mark the next significant stage in the company's transformation and accurately reflect the group's business strategy.
"Our research showed that we had to remove the word "Teklogix" from our name, to unite the business around one, clear, global identity," said John Conoley, CEO of Psion. "We found that the complexity of the dual company name was impacting our business by confusing our customers, resellers and other key stakeholders, especially in new markets for Psion. We also took the opportunity to refresh the brand to make it properly mirror our business strategy and to work better in the digital world."
Psion is No. 8 on Modern's Top 20 ADC suppliers list, reporting $155.1 million in revenue in 2009. The company is a pioneer of quality mobile handheld computers and their application in industrial markets around the world.
Psion has an industry-leading and growing social media presence via its open and collaborative community, http://www.ingenuityworking.com, with over 50,000 visitors a month and more than 5,000 active discussions. It was launched in March 2010 and has quickly become the industry's leading social media site where customers, partners, resellers and developers all converge to share ideas, fix problems and create business opportunities.
"The new corporate identity now brings to life the company's focus on open innovation, modularity and customization, and correctly positions Psion in the era of Web 2.0," said Nick Eades, Chief Marketing Officer of Psion. "Work began on the new corporate identity in 2009 and the full program will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2011. We're primarily executing this brand refresh in the digital domain, which is far more efficient and manageable than traditional methods."

PHOTOS: Beyonce shows Solange love by posting sweet Instagram shots
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Solange on iHeartRadio
While Solange may still be mad at her big sis and brother in law after the elevator fight, Beyonce seems to be trying to make amends.
The star, unable to sleep it seems, took to her Instagram account early Wednesday morning to post tender images of her with Solange, one of which featured the pair hugging. This is the second time she seems to be acknowledging the rift, the first being the posting of a prayer about relationships and strife.
Hopefully, Solange and Beyonce mend their relationship and become better sisters for it.

MONDAY MAILBAG: Today marks the launch of our latest intellectual property, the Monday Mailbag. On this and future bleak Mondays we'll handle all your questions, bons mots, complaints, plaudits, brickbats - whatever fits into an analog or digital mailbox.
Today's letter, from Dulcie McCracken, of Belmont Shore, asks, as so many do, for a favor:
"The powers that be who own Hof's Hut in the Marina are apparently going to end its stay. How sad!!! Some things shouldn't be changed, and Hof's is one of them. Hof's Hut is so good for everyone, but particularly for us over-60 folk. Perhaps the owner fails to remember that he/she, too, will one day be in his/her 60s and will value a place like Hof's. Would you feel comfortable putting something about this terrific little place in your column?"
Wood eye!
Actually, Hof is the boss of Hof's Hut. He's Craig Hofman and he's the son Harold Hofman, the founder of the fabulously successful chain. What's more, he/she is in his/her 60s and he/she is fully aware of the value of a place like Hof's.
The chief problem is that the developer of the property on Second Street at Pacific Coast Highway (which is to include a Gelson's Market to replace Albertsons) and Hofman couldn't come to terms.
"We had a lot of discussions with the landlord and it was just too hard to make it work for the next 50 years," Hofman said. "It's sad. We had a great run there."
The Hof's Marina store opened in 1961.
"I was 10 years old, and I remember Dad saying they were going to put a dress shop there," Hofman said. "He thought it was a perfect place for a restaurant."
And, it was. For more than 50 years it was a hangout for scores of faithful locals, with a back-room cocktail lounge that was great for Sunday morning and Monday night football games.
"I remember Mom staying up late to close the bar at 2," Hofman said. "For a long time the restaurant was open for 24 hours and I remember people coming in drunk at 3 and 4 in the morning and ordering chili omelets. You remember those days, right?"
"In high school all the guys had fake IDs," Hofman said. "But I couldn't go to any of the Hof's Huts because people knew me. It was a great celebration having my first legal cocktail at the Marina Hof's when I turned 21."
Hof's lease on the Marina restaurant expires March 1, so it will remain open at least until then and might stumble along for a bit longer, depending on how long it takes for the construction crews to start busting things up. "At that point, we may lose power, and they're going to be tearing up the parking lot, so we'll have to close for sure at that point."
And what will pop up on the hallowed burial grounds of the classic family restaurant? Those talks continue. It might be a different Hofman property or it may be another restaurant altogether.
"There are still some options, and Lucille's is one of them," Hofman said.
Lucille's Smokehouse Bar B Que has replaced some Hof's Huts in the chain, most notably, locally, the Belmont Shore location at 4828 Second St.
Hofman also has the local rights to the successful Kansas City, Mo.-based Spin Neapolitan Pizza, so that's a possibility, too. Hofman is planning to open several Spin franchises over the next few years, with the first two, in Orange and Los Alamitos, scheduled to open this year.
We're going to be honest for once: We had hopes for that Lucille's in the Shore to revert to a Hut to make up for the Marina store's loss.
"I don't think so," said Hofman, crushing our dreams with four little words.
In fact, with some Hof's Huts closing and no new ones on the horizon, we wonder if one of our favorite family restaurants is being phased out to make more room for barbecued ribs and thin-crust pizza.
"We're not phasing Hof's Hut out," Hofman assures us, and, presumably, today's letter-writer. "But I don't know if we'll open more. Sometimes neighborhoods change - we let one lease run out in Westminster when the center it was in turned into a Cambodian/Chinese center - and it's harder these days to compete with a family restaurant, especially for breakfast, with all the faster and less expensive places - the Paneras of the world...." (suddenly we felt a pang of betrayal for having breakfast regularly at Panera on Tuesdays).
"But," he said. "I can't see Hof's Hut going away. It's a great part of my life."

F#@king Up Everything
Theater review by Raven Snook. Elektra Theatre (see Off Broadway). Music and lyrics by David Eric Davis. Book by Davis and Sam Forman. Dir. Jen Wineman. Ensemble cast. 1hr 40mins. No intermission.
A hit at the 2009 New York Musical Theatre Festival, the rock-musical comedy F#%king Up Everything is heavy on numbers (21!) but light on wit. The hoary humor comes in two types: Brooklyn hipster satire (mentions of the Park Slope Food Coop and queer-theory degrees are meant to pass for jokes) and romantic tropes that were dusty back in John Hughes's heyday.
Goofy puppeteer Christian (Max Crumm, of reality TV's Grease: You're the One That I Want! obscurity) falls for uke-playing Juliana (Katherine Cozumel), who has a thing for rock & roll bad boys like wool-cap-wearing douchebag Jake (Jason Gotay), whom geekette Ivy (Dawn Cantwell) is also secretly crushing on. Think Some Kind of Wonderful with songs, minus the wonderful.
Why all the snark? Because composer-lyricist David Eric Davis is clearly so much better than this. Three songs in particular give a taste of what this show could have been if it hadn't descended into sitbomb: "If You Were Mine," Ivy's private plea for Jake's affections; Juliana's love confession, "Falling"; and the "Awkward Silence" duet between pals realizing they're more than besties. All of these numbers are clever, catchy and show real depth of character. But then a ditty like "Arielle's Areolas" slaps you back to inanity. Davis has a bright future ahead of him if he stops using his title as a playbook.—Raven Snook

Mariners swept as Yankees with 6-3 in series finale - June 12, 2014
Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees singles in the third inning against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field on June 12, 2014 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jacoby Ellsbury hit a two-run homer and made a great catch in center field as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners, 6-3, to complete a three-game sweep.
Ellsbury, who also scored twice, extended his hitting streak to 16 games. He left in the seventh inning with right hip tightness.
Derek Jeter went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored for the Yankees, who recorded a sweep in Seattle for the first time since a four-game set from Aug. 5-8, 1999. Alfonso Soriano knocked in two runs.
New York starter Chase Whitley (2-0) allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six over 7 2/3 innings.
Logan Morrison hit a solo homer and ended with two RBI for the Mariners, who saw starter Roenis Elias (5-5) give up six runs on six hits with three walks over 3 1/3 innings.
The Yankees jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first. Jeter singled and scored on Ellsbury's blast to right.
The Mariners cut the deficit in half on Morrison's homer in the second.
New York tacked on two more runs in the third. Jeter singled and Ellsbury walked before Mark Teixeira flied out. Soriano followed with a two-run double to left-center field.
The Yankees added to their lead in the fourth. Elias put men on second and third with one out before exiting. Jeter greeted Dominic Leone with a two-run single to right.
Seattle scored once in the fifth. Brad Miller doubled and raced home on James Jones' two-out single. Ellsbury then climbed the wall in center to rob Robinson Cano of a possible two-run homer.
New York made some defensive adjustments as Ellsbury exited in the seventh, with Brett Gardner moving from left to center and Soriano going from right to left. Gardner then made an incredible snag of his own, taking a potential solo homer away from Mike Zunino.
The Mariners plated a run in the ninth. Stefen Romero led off with a deep fly ball to right that Ichiro Suzuki caught at the wall. Dustin Ackley doubled and scored on Morrison's ground-rule double.
Game Notes
Cano extended his hitting streak to 10 games ... Elias had won two straight starts coming into Thursday's game ... The Mariners went 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded six.

Pneumonia - weakened immune systemPneumonia in immunodeficient patient; Pneumonia - immunocompromised host
Pneumonia is a lung infection that can be caused by many different germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
This article discusses pneumonia that occurs in a person whose ability to fight infection is greatly reduced because their immune system is weakened and not working properly. Such disease is referred to as "pneumonia in an immunocompromised host."
See also:
- Hospital-acquired pneumonia
- Pneumocystis jirovecii (previously called Pneumocystis carinii) pneumonia
- Pneumonia - cytomegalovirus
- Pneumonia
- Viral pneumonia
- Walking pneumonia
People whose immune system is not working well are less able to fight off germs. Because of this state, they are more likely to become infected by germs that typically do not cause disease in healthy people. They are also more vulnerable to the usual causes of pneumonia, which can affect anyone.
Your immune system may be weakened or not work well because of:
- Bone marrow transplant
- Chemotherapy
- HIV infection
- Leukemia, lymphoma, and other conditions that harm your bone marrow
- Medications (including steroids, and those used to treat cancer and control autoimmune diseases)
- Organ transplant (including kidney, heart, and lung)
- Cough (may be dry or produce mucus-like, greenish, or pus-like sputum)
- Chills with shaking
- Easy fatigue
- Fever
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sharp or stabbing chest pain that gets worse with deep breathing or coughing
- Shortness of breath
Other symptoms that may occur:
- Excessive sweating or night sweats
- Joint stiffness (rare)
- Muscle stiffness (rare)
- Swollen glands
Exams and Tests
The doctor may hear crackles or other abnormal breath sounds when listening to the chest with a stethoscope. Reduced or absent breath sounds can be an important sign, because it may mean there is a buildup of fluid between the chest wall and lung, called a pleural effusion.
Tests may include:
- Arterial blood gases
- Blood chemistries
- Blood culture
- Bronchoscopy (in certain cases)
- Chest CT scan (in certain cases)
- Chest x-ray
- Complete blood count
- Lung biopsy (in certain cases)
- Serum Cryptococcus antigen test
- Sputum Gram stain
- Sputum immunofluorescence tests (or other immune tests)
- Urine tests (to diagnose Legionnaire's disease)
Antibiotics or antifungal medicines are used, depending on the type of germ that is causing the infection. Patients usually must stay in the hospital, at least during the early stages of the illness.
Oxygen and respiratory treatments to remove fluid and mucus are often needed.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome may be poor if the pneumonia is caused by a virus or fungus, or if the patient's immune system is severely weakened.
Possible Complications
- Respiratory failure (the person needs machines to assist in breathing)
- Sepsis
- Spread of the infection
- Death
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have a weakened immune system and you have symptoms of pneumonia.
If you have a weakened immune system and are in the hospital, you may receive daily antibiotics to prevent pneumonia.
Ask your health care provider if you should receive the influenza ("flu") and pneumococcal ("pneumonia") vaccines.
Practice good hygiene. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water:
- After being outdoors
- After changing a diaper
- After doing housework
- After going to the bathroom
- After touching body fluids, such as mucus or blood
- After using the telephone
- Before handling food or eating
Keep your house clean. Stay away from crowds. Ask visitors who have a cold to wear a mask or not to visit. Do not do yard work or handle plants or flowers (they can carry germs).

42-piece bendable foam contruction toy develops spatial thinking:
This bendable foam toy should be a part of every kid's building toy collection because it provides a unique way to create models that wood or plastic sets can't. The flexible foam rods have plastic peg tips that are inserted into bright foam balls. The rods can be curved or angled, providing extra building possibilities. The pieces are very light and give slightly when squeezed.
Here's an idea—have the kids build a target with a few rods & balls and make a game out of tossing the remaining balls through it. Or, combine a few sets and make a little igloo! Ages 3 and up.
Contents: 22 flexible foam rods (6 & 4 inches), 10 foam balls (red, yellow, green, blue, orange), 10 black plastic pegs.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children younger than 3.

Try "Mold Builder Liquid Latex". it is sold at Hobby Lobby and other craft stores. It is pretty thick stuff and you may need to thin it slightly with water. If you keep the lid on tight it will not thicken or set up. It is far superior to wax in that when you peel it off your piece, there is no residue that repels glaze. If you make a mistake, just rub it off with your finger when it cures out. Since you peel all of it off after the glaze drys, you never get isolated blobs of glaze that stick to the middle of resist lines.
The container it comes in is kind of big so I pour a couple of ounces into a old pill bottle with a good tight lid, and brush from that.
I had a clay body that the latex was hard to see on, so I added a couple of drops of red food color. worked fine. Just don't add any color that is not an organic pigment that will burn off in the kiln.
There has to be a down side to any story...right? The down side is that if you leave the brush sitting around, the latex will set up and you will lose the brush. No amount of scrubbing, solvents, boiling, cussing. will bring it back. The work around is simple. Every once in a while clean it in cold water. Swish it around in a may jar full of water. My sink is close so I jut hold it under the tap.
