Xmonad/Installing xmonad
From HaskellWiki
1 Read me first
After installing, you'll have an
xmonad binary on your system. From there, you'll need to wire xmonad up to your login manager.
2 Linux
2.1 Arch
$ pacman -S xmonad-contrib # for the xmonad core and contrib packages
or else:
$ pacman -S xmonad # for just the xmonad core package
See xmonad on ArchWiki for more info.
2.2 Debian
To install:
$ apt-get install xmonad # for just the xmonad binary, without the ability to configure
In addition to that, if you want to write a configuration file, you should get one of these:
$ apt-get install libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev # for all of xmonad core and xmonad-contrib (depends on the following pkg) $ apt-get install libghc6-xmonad-dev # for just xmonad core
There are also -doc and -prof suffixes for various packages. I'm not sure what they contain.
Note: The are backports available for debian etch at http://newpeople.debian.org/~jps/etch/.
2.3 Fedora
2.4 Gentoo
$ emerge xmonad-contrib # the contrib package depends on xmonad so it gets also installed
if you only want to install xmonad without contrib you could use: $ emerge xmonad
2.5 Gobo
2.6 NixOS
2.7 Slackware
2.8 Source Mage
2.9 Ubuntu
See #Debian.
Note: On Hardy Heron and earlier, the libghc6-x11-dev package was compiled without Xinerama support. This means that if you want multi-monitor support, you will either need to upgrade to Intrepid Ibez or install xmonad (and the Haskell X11 library on which it depends) through one of the #Generic options.
3.1 FreeBSD
3.2 NetBSD
3.3 OpenBSD
xmonad is in the ports tree. To install it,
sudo pkg_add xmonad
4 Mac OS X
Install ghc using MacPorts:
$ port install ghc
And then follow one of the #Generic instructions.
See more at Xmonad/Using xmonad on Apple OSX.
5 Generic
5.1 From tarball
5.2 From Hackage
xmonad can be installed from source on any system with an up-to-date Haskell toolchain:
$ cabal install xmonad

I have a dual monitor setup on my computer, which works fine with Windows 7.
My main monitor is 1920x1080 and my second monitor is 1280x1024.
When I boot into Backtrack, The logo shows up on my main monitor, and everything loads up on that monitor.
But when I type Startx into the terminal, the desktop etc goes onto my secondary monitor, and my primary goes blank.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I would hope that startx would enable both monitors, similar to windows 7.
I am not great with Linux, so please explain it simply as possible.

Q & A — June 2003
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Spooling Up
| Turbocharger maintenance, a cool-running diesel, and more.
new boat has a single turbocharged diesel. Can you give me a primer on
how it works and the maintenance involved? C.R., via e-mail
The area between the hot and cold sides contains bearings, on which runs the shaft that connects the compressor and exhaust turbines. As the shaft can spin at speeds in excess of 100,000 rpm and temperatures here can top 800°F, right oil flow is critical for both cooling and lubrication. Use the proper oil--CC- or CD-rated--and change it and all filters at or before the recommended interval. Periodically inspect the area between the two chambers for signs of leakage. If the seals here fail, so will the bearing and, ultimately, the turbocharger. Occasionally visually inspect both turbines for signs of damage or excessive deposits. The hot-side turbine will normally be coated with black soot. Finally, let your engine cool down for two to three minutes at idle before shutting it down.

AMES, Iowa -- Some good news about videogames. A study conducted at Iowa State University showed that prosocial media, which include videogames, positively influence behavior regardless of culture. The study, said to be the first of its kind, tested the levels of empathy and helpfulness in thousands of children and adolescents in seven countries: Australia, China, Croatia, Germany, Japan, Romania and the United States.
The results, which were published in the scientific journal Psychological Science, showed that greater exposure to prosocial media -- videogames, movies or TV shows that portray helpful, caring and cooperative behaviors -- resulted in higher levels of prosocial behavior among the youths.
"Most of the media effects research has been done in Western Europe or the U.S. and focuses only on one country at a time," said Sara Prot, lead author and graduate student in psychology. "In our study, we wanted a large international sample to be able to test these effects across different cultures."
Researchers added that it is important to understand the same game can have some "helpful" content, but also be primarily a violent game, and that such violent games produce harmful effects on players. On the other hand, they noted that nonviolent games with lots of prosocial content produce positive effects on children and adolescents.

LinkedIn tells prostitutes to go away
(NEWSER) – LinkedIn's new user agreement includes a surprising clause: No promoting prostitution or escort services on your profile, even if it's legal where you live.ReadWriteWeb spotted the unusual inclusion, and wondered if it was even truly necessary. In its words, "would anyone really take the risk of advertising adult services?" What it quickly learned: yes. It surfaced the profile of one San Diego man who lists "escort" as one of his job titles and touts his work giving "ALL NUDE, full-body massages" ... while amusingly adding that he's also interested in academic work and "perhaps advising corporations on health & fitness issues."

There has been a lot of public
link whoring link worthy stuff this week. I would be amiss if did not do something about this. With no further ado, here is the shizzle bizzles.
- Joe Morin has me asking Will You? You should ask on your site too. Who cares, it's a great idea. Especiallly if the lady is a Sex Goddess.
- Gray Wolf kinda called out Jason Calacanis and Ted Leonsis for being lamers. People bettah reckanize!
- HaitBait sounds too close to DrinkBait. I aint mad. I already registered CrapBait.com. Man, the originator of Buzz 2.0 must be proud!
- Rae is a baller. She only rolls in limos lately.
- The big revealing of SEO Fan Girl has us buzzing. Both good enough for some link love fo sho'
- SEO Loser still has the best post I've read in a long time… that is, until I created and SEO BoyBand. (I just linked to and bragged about myself which doesn't mean crap, but it still felt cool.)
- Bill Slawski sizes up Yahoo! and their ability to determine buzz. Hint to Yahoo! – just drink more. You'll find the buzz eventually.
- Boser's back. The guerilla and the terrorist. Whoa, digg it baby.
- Something's wrong with buying links? No, say it aint so. Does this mean I can't buy Adwords, YPN, AdSonar, Pulse 360, CJ, and other stuff like that? Serioulsy… aren't we all buying and selling links in one way or another?
- Chris Hooley interviewed on WebProWorld? Wow. Seriously guys, Wow. I look like a dumb guy trying to sound smart because that was DrinkBait day and I accidentally baited myself like 4 times. Ok not accidentally, but still.
- Naylor gets Nailed. One! Two! Three! Four! Getting ranked for Viagra? Score!
- Which reminds me, Matt Cutts and Yahoo! sports. Done. It's all complex, really.
- I love people who love me, and that's final.
- That was fun!
If I forgot anything awesome or funny or bait worthy, make sure to point it out in the comments. I'll probably do something about it!

I would like to discuss whether or not it is illegal to connect to an open wireless network with no encryption whatsoever that you do not own or have a permission to use.
Feedback would be nice based on the country of residence.
In South Africa, it's also illegal but the police here don't even know the laws themselves and are technically not very advanced.
It's like we don't have high tech FBI and such here, lol
For example, my city has an extensive wireless community which I haven't connected to because I'm behind a hill and a bit far away.
The admin and the mods on their website post openly about wardriving and connecting to open networks, wtf.
They must come here and they'll be banned one time, lmao
The problem with a question like this is that it borders on politics, and that's against the forum rules.
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]hehe...
There were several threads about this issue.
A good comparison is that it is also illegal to sit in a car where someone forgot his keys in and which is unlocked. It is still theft, even if the owner is more or less inviting someone to steal his car.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
UK: Illegal
Belgium: Illegal, but the police here is too stupid(in my opinion) to catch anybody. Except when the "hacker" is sitting in his car at brought daylight with his laptop on his lap in front of the persons house he's "hacking".
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." U_U
Quite frankly, I have not yet seen a country where it IS legal. If the place has a data infrastructure more complicated than crank telephones and actually cares about protecting the citizen's rights, it's probably illegal.
Most countries treat it as a relatively minor offense, meaning a fine if you're caught. (Typically $100-500USD.) However, some counties (Singapore comes to mind) will throw you in jail for 6 months for a first offense.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
In 99% of cases/locations yes it is indeed illegal.
For US info check here:
While IANAL, I did manage to dig some info up. Here is some of the relevant Canadian Criminal Code (Federal):
So if it's not yours then don't use it. If you do use it then know you have to prove a "lawful excuse" for such use and that you'll likely forfeit your gear for at least the duration of the investigation and trial(s).Theft of telecommunication service
326. (1) Every one commits theft who fraudulently, maliciously, or without colour of right,
(a) abstracts, consumes or uses electricity or gas or causes it to be wasted or diverted; or
(b) uses any telecommunication facility or obtains any telecommunication service.
Definition of "telecommunication"
(2) In this section and section 327, "telecommunication" means any transmission, emission or reception of signs, signals, writing, images or sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, visual or other electromagnetic system.
R.S., c. C-34, s. 287; 1974-75-76, c. 93, s. 23.
Possession of device to obtain telecommunication facility or service
327. (1) Every one who, without lawful excuse, the proof of which lies on him, manufactures, possesses, sells or offers for sale or distributes any instrument or device or any component thereof, the design of which renders it primarily useful for obtaining the use of any telecommunication facility or service, under circumstances that give rise to a reasonable inference that the device has been used or is or was intended to be used to obtain the use of any telecommunication facility or service without payment of a lawful charge therefor, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
(2) Where a person is convicted of an offence under subsection (1) or paragraph 326(1)(b), any instrument or device in relation to which the offence was committed or the possession of which constituted the offence, on such conviction, in addition to any punishment that is imposed, may be ordered forfeited to Her Majesty, whereupon it may be disposed of as the Attorney General directs.
Mischief in relation to data

(a) destroys or alters data;
(b) renders data meaningless, useless or ineffective;
(c) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use of data; or
(d) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use of data or denies access to data to any person who is entitled to access thereto.
(2) Every one who commits mischief that causes actual danger to life is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.
(3) Every one who commits mischief in relation to property that is a testamentary instrument or the value of which exceeds five thousand dollars
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years; or
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
(4) Every one who commits mischief in relation to property, other than property described in subsection (3),
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Bottom line: it's illegal, so don't do it.

The Victorian government may have been a bit long in the tooth but it was still doing a decent job. The belting it received on Saturday, therefore, augurs poorly for the indecently performing NSW and Queensland Labor governments which, surely, now need a miracle to avoid wipe-outs.
NSW goes to the polls in March. Queensland is due to vote a year later. By the time Julia Gillard's federal government next faces the electorate, there is a strong chance the entire east coast will be Liberal. Having the toxic Labor administrations out of the way should help Gillard, just as their presence hampered her in August.
The other significant change between now and the next election that should benefit federal Labor will be the Senate.
Last week's Senate vote to structurally separate Telstra to facilitate the broadband network was one of the few occasions the present Senate passed a bill of significance when the Coalition decided to oppose it.
You really have to rack your brain to remember occasions when the disparate trio of Nick Xenophon, Steve Fielding and the Greens were on the same page. The $42 billion stimulus package was one occasion, the changes to the luxury car tax another.
Effectively, the Coalition continued to control the Senate after losing government and made life very difficult for Labor.
Governments ultimately are judged on what they deliver, or fail to deliver, and the Rudd government was judged harshly on the latter. It was most condemned for not delivering the emissions trading scheme, despite it being twice blocked by the Senate and deferred a third time.
Labor is still ribbed for failing to deliver Fuelwatch but it is rarely mentioned that the Senate killed that too.
Gillard has reverted to the approach of John Howard: intervene when an impasse is reached and negotiate a settlement, as she did last week on the Telstra bill.
Nonetheless, the onset of the new Greens-controlled Senate on July 1 next year provides a valuable opportunity for Gillard to haul Labor back into contention.
She is acutely aware her government needs to have ''landed'' policies by this time next year and has nominated the mining tax and climate change as priorities.
The miners are still trying to stop the mining tax mark II. The big three miners that torpedoed the tax before the election are digging in on the issue of compensation for royalty payments.
Having the toxic Labor administrations out of the way should help Gillard, just as their presence hampered her in August.
They should bear in mind that the Greens have no problem taxing miners and Gillard is not going to let the industry tear down the government as it almost did last time. If they do not bargain, she could crush them.
It is little wonder the government has backloaded the parliamentary sitting schedule for the second half of next year. The Coalition was crying foul over the 2011 calendar last week. They should look at the 2005 schedule, the year John Howard's government took control of the Senate.
In the six months before July 1, 2005, the Senate sat for six weeks. After July 1, when the Coalition took control, it sat for nine. Next year, the Senate will sit for seven weeks before July 1 and eight afterwards, with an extra week pencilled in if needed.
Labor has been behaving of late as if it was back in opposition, most notably by resorting to its habit of public navel-gazing.
Climare Change Minister Greg Combet spoke recently about re-embracing equity, social justice and compassion to take votes back from the left. Treasurer Wayne Swan said salvation lay not in pandering to the ''fringe issues of the far left'' but in delivering prosperity and opportunity.
On Friday night, Maxine McKew, defeated in Bennelong at the last election, said Labor was punished because it lacked courage and creativity, and ''there was too great a gap between promises and delivery''.
''We were a government obsessed with messages, with talking points and PowerPoints,'' she said.
Gillard used a speech in Adelaide to acknowledge the impatience with her government. Last week she gave caucus and the ministry a PowerPoint presentation to remind them what Labor stood for.
It may be Rudd's agenda Gillard has inherited but it presents more than enough of a challenge for the government to implement without adding to it further. Gillard's aim is to close the gap between promise and delivery, and the new Senate will be central to that.
Combined with a balanced budget by 2012-13, an ongoing negative opposition, and vanquished Labor premiers, federal Labor should be in good shape come the next election.
Well, that's the plan, anyway.

Deadline for Federal Tornado Aid Applications Extended to Feb. 3
Page Content
January 23, 2013
To date, more than $16 million in grants, loans approved
for tornado survivors
SPRINGFIELD – The deadline to apply for federal disaster aid for people affected by the Nov. 17 tornadoes and severe storms has been extended to Feb. 3. The state requested the extension Wednesday to enable people affected by tornadoes in 15 federally designated counties to seek grants and loans to help with their recovery. The original registration deadline was Jan. 27.
"I appreciate the Obama Administration's quick action on our request to extend the deadline," Governor Pat Quinn said. "Given the unusually difficult winter weather we've experienced during the registration period, as well as several federal holidays, this seven-day extension is needed to ensure residents have ample opportunity to apply for federal aid."
To date, more than 2,400 applications for disaster aid have been received from people in the 15 federally declared counties. More than $2.3 million in federal grants has been awarded to help people with disaster-related expenses. In addition, the U.S. Small Business Administration has approved $14.2 million in disaster assistance loans to help people and businesses recover.
Governor Quinn successfully secured federal aid for 15 counties just nine days after an Illinois November record of 25 tornadoes caused widespread destruction across the state. The federal disaster declaration includes Champaign, Douglas, Fayette, Grundy, Jasper, LaSalle, Massac, Pope, Tazewell, Vermilion, Wabash, Washington, Wayne, Will and Woodford counties.
Registration for disaster aid can be completed online at
, via web-enabled phone or tablet at m.fema.gov, or by phone at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585).
Earlier this month, FEMA denied the state's request for federal assistance that would provide reimbursement to affected local governments in nine counties for their disaster-related expenses. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) currently is working with local officials in those counties to compile additional information for an appeal. The state has until Feb. 8 to submit that appeal.

WATCH: Red carpet prankster Vitalii Sediuk banned from Hollywood events
Vitalii Sediuk, the red carpet prankster who attacked Brad Pitt on Wednesday, has been banned from future Hollywood events.
During a Friday court appearance, the disgraced Ukrainian "journalist" pleaded no contest to battery and unlawful activity at an event.
In addition to 20 days of community service, 12 months of counseling, and three years of probation, Sediuk was barred from getting within 500 feet of awards shows, movie premieres, and red carpet events.
He was further told to stay away from Angelina Jolie (Pitt already obtained a restraining order against him), and the area where the incident took place.
Sediuk was also ordered to pay $220 in fines.
The awful jokester was already on probation for stage-crashing last year's Grammys as Jennifer Lopez gave an award to Adele, and was now reprimanded to stay away from the award show's location, too.
He could be seen smirking several times during the proceedings

If you didn't rush to open this article, well, you don't know. You just don't know. You don't know about the Friday Night Lights family. Because if you did know, you'd be like… TAMI TAYLOR AND TIM RIGGINS OMG OMG OMG Also… HE CUT HIS HAIR OMG OMG OMG And… IS THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND?

Lainey calls the concept of those who got the role vs. those who almost did Hollywood Sliding Doors. Like what if A had been sick so B gave the better audition? Or if actor 1 had met someone important instead of actor 2? Would we all be watching Kirk Cameron be nominated for an Oscar for The Wolf Of Wall Street? But I prefer a different game -- the LA Postman Knocks Twice game. Full Story
No more Tami Taylor

Peter Berg confirmed recently that there will be no Friday Night Lights movie. Click here for a refresher. I don't know anyone who's sad about this. I'm not sad about re-mainlining all 5 seasons during the Christmas break and not having to worry that somehow they'll be corrupted by whatever story they try to jack off of our memories about those wonderful, precious people we loved.

So about that Friday Night Lights movie… Taylor Kitsch told me at TIFF that there's "no f-cking way" it's going to happen. Click here for a refresher. But we were at a party. Would it have been a different answer if the sun was up? Well… Connie Britton was on Watch What Happens Live this week and here's what she said when it came up: "You know, there's been a lot of talk about a lot of things. Full Story
Emmys Most Significant Fabric: Connie Britton
It looks like Nashville. Right? Am I right? My girl Connie Britton dressed in Lions red when it was time to celebrate FNL, and now that it's about Nashville, it's about the kind of velvet and brocade that might as easily upholster a chaise lounge to celebrate Rayna James. I did not hate it. Full Story
A Love Letter To My Favourites*
*Kerry Washington is my favourite of all the favourites It's not a "gossip gift" per se, but this potential drama nominees roundtable is the best gift I could have gotten. It's delicious. I know all these women, I watch all their shows – it feels strangely indulgent to have them all in the same room and saying things that they maybe shouldn't. Full Story
This Is Where I Leave You
I have nervous anticipation. Connie Britton was recently cast in This Is Where I Leave You, a movie based on a delicious book that you should read this weekend, about a family that sits shiva after the father passes away. (Lainey: I've written about Jonathan Tropper, the author, before. Full Story

The decision over what to do with this Connie Britton New York Times article took up a lot of email real estate yesterday afternoon. Do you binge on it or do you wait, savor, only a little bit at a time to draw out the deliciousness of what feels like an actual, real honest profile of the woman everyone wants to be? That's not just my interpretation, by the way -- it's half the premise of the article. Full Story
Most Attentive – Connie Britton

I think it is fair to say the director made some weird choices last night. Not just failing to shoot Ben Affleck when Jennifer Lopez talked or not giving me a picture-in-picture of Taylor Swift the whole time Adele was talking. I mean, did you see how many shots there were of Jack Black? But I can't get too mad at the director because of all the shots we saw of Connie Britton. Full Story

So…this could have been much worse? Maybe I'm still suffering the scars from the Emmys and what that looked like. Click here for a refresher. There is some serious 90s throwback going on with Hayden, who looks like an Olsen Twin out for her 13th birthday, and I feel like it would be mean to point out to Kimberly Williams-Paisley that it is not the prom.

Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC, November 14, 1998 - Karen Staser, founder and president of the National Museum of Women's History, announced the recommendations of twenty-one nationally known museum professionals and scholars of women's history who met October 30 - November 1 to review the National Museum of Women's History program design.
Board of Directors Vice-President Joan Meacham, who chairs the subcommittee on program design of the NWHM Academic and Museum Professional Advisory Committee, said, "This meeting was pivotal for our museum's administrative team. It helped us to focus on our primary mission - the development and design of a national museum dedicated to the history of women in America. We are especially grateful to the Ruth McCormick Tankersley Charitable Trust for their generous grant, which funded this project."
Ms. Staser noted that "in addition to this meeting, our museum has received a lot of public support for several successful projects - from moving the statue of suffrage leaders Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott from the U.S. Capitol Crypt to the Capitol Rotunda last year to our latest accomplishment, launching the first CyberMuseum of women's history at the National Press Club. We appreciate everyone's participation, and we know the success of this museum is due to the support of each and every person interested in women's history."
The program began Friday, October 30th with a buffet dinner and reception at the newly renovated Hotel George on Capitol Hill that included representatives from the White House Office on Women's Initiatives, the National Park Service, and other distinguished women's organizations. Ms. Staser concluded the evening by presenting White House correspondent Helen Thomas with one of the first annual "Women Making History" awards given by the National Museum of Women's History.
The following morning, Saturday, November 1, the subcommittee and members of the NWHM board of directors convened in the historic Sewall-Belmont House and began two days of intense discussion. Committed to displaying history as an ongoing process - "as a movie rather than a snapshot," according to UCLA historian Ellen DuBois - they endorsed NWHM and urged the new museum to develop a multi-faceted, multi-cultural exhibit plan that would include four categories: permanent, changing, and traveling exhibits, and spaces for exhibits developed in partnership with communities.
Ms. Meacham added, "We feel our museum's mission is to be more inclusive through exhibits and programming designed to interpret the diversity and complexity of women's experiences over time."
The group also recommended that the museum open with exhibits on the following themes: Quest for Freedoms, Women and Citizenship, Coming of Age, and an interpretive exhibit on women's history to be entitled "Motherhood and Apple Pie: Changing Images of American Womanhood."
Two historians, Allida Black of Franklin and Marshall College and Mary Rothschild of Arizona State University, joined the NWHM Board of Directors to represent the scholars.
Members of the NWHM Academic and Museum Professional Advisory Committee attending the meeting included: Adele Alexander (George Washington University), Allida Black (Franklin and Marshall College), Barbara Charles (Staples and Charles Exhibit Design), Terry L. Davis (American Association for State and Local History), Ellen DuBois (UCLA), Gail Dubrow (University of Washington), Jannelle Warren Findley (Arizona State University), Elisabeth Griffith (The Madeira School), Laura Klein (Pacific Lutheran University), Molly MacGregor (National Women's History Project), Valerie Matsumoto (UCLA), Edith P. Mayo, (Smithsonian Institution), Genevieve McBride (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee), Kristie Miller (Board of Directors, Chicago Tribune), Kym Rice (George Washington University), Vivien Rose (National Women's Rights Historical Park), Mary Rothschild (Arizona State University), Anne Firor Scott (Duke University), Rosalyn Terborg-Penn (Morgan State University), and Judith Wellman (SUNY, Oswego).
Members unable to attend were: Roxana Adams (American Association of Museums), Helen Fisher (Rutgers University), Joan Jensen (University of New Mexico, Las Cruces), Dwight Pitcaithley (National Park Service), Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (Roosevelt Institute), and Patricia Williams (American Association of Museums).
The National Museum of Women's History in Washington, DC is a non-partisan, nonprofit educational institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating the historic contributions and rich, diverse heritage of women, and restoring this heritage to mainstream culture.

Do you have a PowerPoint presentation containing slides that you just wish you could make into your screensaver?
Maybe you had a presentation sent to you containing a bunch of pictures of the grandkids.
Or maybe you'd just love to create a screensaver out of a variety of your favorite quotes.
Either way, if it's in a PowerPoint presentation, we can do that!
Okay, then let's get started.
First, you need to open the presentation that contains the slides you need.
If you only want one slide from the presentation, go ahead and find it. If you want the entire presentation, then proceed to the next step.
Now, we need the File menu / Office Button, Save As choice.
When the Save As window opens, you need to navigate to an empty folder that will specifically only hold those pictures used in the screensaver.
Before you complete the Save, you need to change the file type to Device Independent Bitmap.
Change the name if you want to and click Save.
When PowerPoint asks you to choose between saving the current slide or the entire presentation, make your choice.
With that done, you're ready to go out to Windows to set the screensaver up.
Right-click on your desktop and choose Properties (for Vista it's Personalize) from the menu.
Choose Screen Saver.
Here, you'll need to choose My Pictures Slideshow.
With that selected, the Settings button becomes available. Click it.
Change whatever settings you like, but be sure to click the Browse button and tell Windows where the folder that contains the slide pictures is located.
Click OK to back your way out to the Screen Saver choices and proceed with setting your screensaver as usual.
Voila! Slides to screensaver in no time!
~ April

The trigger mechanism actuates the trigger valve inside the gun when you pull it, which fires the driver and drives the nail/staple. There are two types of triggers: "sequential" and "contact". Contact triggers allow you to "bump fire" the gun: just hold the trigger down and fire multiple nails at a time. Sequential triggers require you to first press the nose to the medium before the gun will fire, so it allows you to fire only one nail at a time.

Outkast performs hits during Coachella set
Listen to Outkast on iHeartRadio
Outkast's 20th anniversary reunion tour is officially underway. The hip-hop duo took the stage together on Friday at Indio, California's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The hour-and-a-half performance kicked off with their energetic 2000 hit "B.O.B." before the pair took on songs such as "ATLiens," "Skew It On The Bar-B" and "Rosa Parks."
During the performance, André 3000 and Big Boi each performed solo hits from their double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and Big Boi even got to show off some songs that have defined his solo career.
Once they were both on stage again, they performed crowd-pleasers such as "So Fresh, So Clean," "The Way You Move," and "Ms. Jackson," which was cut short by an apparent sound problem. Their set included cameos from Janelle Monae and Future.
Even thought they wanted to end the night with "The Whole World," the 1:00 a.m. curfew forced them to end the show with a performance of "Hey Ya."

Mike D'Antoni sat at a press conference table sporting a new haircut and a wide smile, a symbolic image suggesting his readiness to make his Los Angeles head coaching debut when the Lakers (5-5) host the Brooklyn Nets (6-2) tonight at Staples Center.
"Ready to go," said D'Antoni, who's going through physical therapy after recent knee replacement surgery.
D'Antoni will sit on the sideline on an elevated seat that looks familiar to the one Phil Jackson once sat on, but it's a different one.
D'Antoni doesn't plan on having any crutches nearby for support, joking, "I was looking today for a parrot and an eye patch."
And even if he joked that he refused to see trainer Gary Vitti for clearance, D'Antoni remains confident he can make it through the game.
That's not to say he won't have limitations.
"I'm never pain-free," D'Antoni said. "I'm 61 years old. I haven't been pain free since I was 30."
But nothing that will prevent him from coaching from the sideline.
"It'll be fun," he said. "I got the greatest job in the world with the greatest players in the world. I'm not sitting here moping or anything. I'm looking forward to it."
Instead, D'Antoni sounded self-deprecating on everything surrounding his team.
What if the Lakers lose and fans suddenly clamor for the return of Bernie Bickerstaff?
"He's right beside me or right behind me," D'Antoni said with a smile.
"He'll jump right in there."
Will the Lakers manage to keep up the pace that has enabled them to average 116 points per game using elements of his system?
"That's a danger. I'm not kidding," D'Antoni said. "We got up to 119 points. I'll coach them and coach them down."
What precautions does D'Antoni need to take during the Lakers' three-game trip at Sacramento (Wednesday), Memphis (Friday) and Dallas (Saturday)?
"I'll wear some stockings ... take some blood thinners and try to eat healthy and go for it." D'Antoni said. "I'm good. This is great."
At least there's one less absence the Lakers have to monitor. D'Antoni remained unsure whether Steve Nash will miss any more games after the Lakers' three-game trip because of his fractured left leg.
D'Antoni also penciled out Steve Blake for those games because he wants him to practice once he fully heals from a lower abdominal strain.
And Darius Morris will start at point guard for the fourth consecutive game.
Beyond measuring his health, D'Antoni will also have to measure the Lakers' progress.
"We have 72 mores games, we can be patient," he said. "The only thing we can't do right now is win 77. We have plenty of time. There will be no panic. I don't know how good we can become. But our goal is to be the best team in the league."
And that thought alone kept D'Antoni energetic enough, even if he's fighting the pain from his recent surgery.
"It doesn't get any better than this," he said. "It's a special place. I'll do my best to take care of it as best as I can. Anyone who plays here or coaches here is privileged."

The application landscape has changed forever. With fat local apps, Web apps, SaaS apps, and mobile apps, it's becoming harder to manage and secure the unprecedented diversity of applications that drive the enterprise. In this week's New Tech Forum, Chandra Sekar (senior director of product marketing for Citrix Mobile Platforms) and Kevin Strohmeyer (director of product marketing for Desktops and Apps) of Citrix take us through some of the challenges and potential solutions to deal with today's app explosion. -- Paul Venezia
It's all about the apps
For a generation or more, IT has thought about end-user computing in terms of a Microsoft Windows desktop. But today, when you ask people what really matters to them, they talk about the applications they rely on to get their work done. Inside and outside the enterprise, those apps are diversifying rapidly.
With not only Windows applications, but also Web, mobile, and SaaS apps, the desktop no longer stands alone in defining the user experience. For IT, the challenge now is to deliver the apps people need, where they need them, while maintaining security and control -- regardless of app type, device, or location.
The latest Citrix research paints a clear picture of the changing enterprise landscape. Our survey last year of 733 customers across the globe found:
- 64 percent of the apps in their enterprises today are Windows-based
- 20 percent are Web or HTML5
- 10 percent as SaaS
- 6 percent are currently mobile
When asked to anticipate what they'll be doing just a year from now, customers describe a changing mix:
- The share of Windows apps is predicted to be at 54 percent
- Web/HMTL5 apps rise to 23 percent
- SaaS apps rise to 14 percent
- Mobile rises to 9 percent
Windows will continue to be the dominant platform, but to focus too narrowly on the traditional desktop paradigm risks overlooking a fundamental change in the way people are using apps.
Increasingly, the new way of working is characterized by a mobile workspace that securely delivers apps, desktops, files, and services to users on any device from which they choose to work, over any network. In a multidevice mobile world, you need to support a heterogeneous computing environment while ensuring effective security, minimizing complexity, and controlling costs.
As IT strategy focuses on delivering apps to any device, three key challenges emerge.
1. Mobilizing your existing portfolio
No part of IT is more important than the application portfolio. Organizations likely rely on hundreds or thousands of apps to empower people to reach full productivity, generate business value, and move organizations forward. As new delivery models and emerging use cases transform mobile workstyles, companies need ways to continue to leverage their app portfolio investments while meeting a complex matrix of new requirements. How will they deliver existing Windows apps to mobile devices? Should they develop their own mobile apps -- or can they afford to wait until native mobile or SaaS versions of commercial Windows apps become available?
Windows application hosting plays a crucial role here. While desktop virtualization models like VDI have received more attention lately, application hosting continues to provide a simple way to mobilize Windows applications for nondesktop workspaces, like smartphones and tablets. Instead of incurring the vast amounts of time and expense required to develop new mobile versions of enterprise applications, solutions like Citrix XenApp deliver applications and data optimized for more native mobile experiences, without back-end recoding. Because virtualized apps continue to be delivered from the same centrally managed instance that supports VDI, enterprises can minimize overhead and make new updates available in every usage scenario simultaneously.
2. Delivering enterprise-ready mobile apps with consumerlike features
Mobility is one of the main drivers of shadow IT, as users bring consumer-grade apps into the enterprise to compensate for the lack of IT-issued, enterprise-ready mobile apps. Native mobile email clients and Web browsers, file sharing services like Dropbox, and mobile calendaring apps all serve important user needs, but they invite security breaches and complicate life for IT. Often, they also lack key enterprise features necessary for full productivity.
Whether through in-house development or a third-party vendor, IT needs to provide sanctioned, enterprise-ready alternatives to consumer-grade mobile apps. To succeed, these apps have to pass the toughest test of all: user acceptance. One way to do this is to provide business-oriented features beyond the scope of a consumer app or service, such as the ability to add an attachment to a meeting invitation or join a meeting right from the calendar request. Equally important, though, the app must offer the consumerlike experience users demand and maintain consistency with the look and feel of the iOS or Android apps they've been using.

Reading Level: Grades 6 and up
If you haven't yet read The Maze Runner yet, stop reading this review.
Thomas, Teresa and the other Gladers have escaped the Maze and been rescued, supposedly. But after what they all went through in the Maze, who can trust anything?
Soon, unsurprisingly, the Gladers find themselves in the midst of another trial - one even more grueling and dangerous than the Maze. But there are more elements to the test this time, and Thomas doesn't know how he and his friends will survive this time.
Check availability of The Scorch Trials

Condits 1 minute of offense out of a 25 minute fight means it was one sided james. Mabye not an ass kicking but certainly one sided.
GSP "peppered Koscheck with jabs, jabs and more jabs for five one-sided (and mostly one-eyed) rounds to score a heavy-handed unanimous decision and retain his welterweight championship with gusto."

Hi Patricia,
Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to ask questions so we can share our experience and knowledge.
For women with a cycle of 28 days, most women will ovulate on day 14 (14 days before their next cycle starts). Day 1 means the first day of your period. Sperm can survive in a woman's body for 3 days (sometimes even up to 5 days) so you could have sex on day 11 and get pregnant due to ovulation on day 14.
Are your cycles regular? There's an excellent post here by Kate (a member of this forum) who also explains what changes in your cervical mucus to look out for (as this is a very helpful indicator of your ovulation time).
You can buy ovulation testing kit to help you track when you are ovulating each month.
Please ask away so we can help to support each other in pregnancy and parenting.

Hi Patricia, welcome to the forum! As ljmarsden mentioned, the best way to know when the optimal time for you to conceive is by learning about your cycle and all of the unique signs and symptoms that your body gives you. Kate's post is very informative and a great place to start! Another good read is 'Natural Fertility' by Francesca Naish - this book provides lots of detailed information on charting, fertility and how to learn about your cycle. Now is also a good time for both yourself and your partner to pay particular attention to your diet and lifestyle and also for you to be supplementing with a good prenatal supplement before you conceive. Here's are some more tips to prepare your body before you conceive: http://www.birthinbalance.com.au/blo...ng-to-Conceive
