Remembering the Dreams of MLK
This morning Riley and I listened to Martin Luther King, Jr's famous "I Have a Dream" speech from Washington DC. It is beautiful to hear this set against Obama's inauguration this week and reflect on the progress toward that aspect of King's vision & dream. My kids can't even imagine pre-civil rights America. I can't fully, either, for that matter.
I also listened to another of his speeches that resonates deeply with me, the Riverside Church speech in which he talks about the "giant triplets" of racism, poverty/materialism, and militarism. How sad that we could just change the names of the countries, the types of weapons used, the ethnicities of the victims/"enemies" du jour, and trade "communism" for "terrorism", and this same speech still needs to be heard and acted upon today.
Can you imagine if our children's children could only conceive of all 3 of those "giant triplets" as the stuff of history, long past?
"I don't know about you, I ain't gonna study war no more." -- MLK, Jr
Dreams still waiting to be realized.

Question about HP Computers & Internet
When we try to turn on the computer, we get the following message:
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent software or hardware change may have caused this. If your computer has stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down, choose last-known configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked. If a previous start up attempt was interrupted, due to a power failure or because the power reset button was pressed, or if you aren't sure what caused the problem, choose start windows normally."
then we were given five options : safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration, and start windows normally. None of these worked.
Can you help? Barb
Posted by BarbFlew on
Hi Worldvet - thanks for your suggestion. I tried that last night, and I managed to get to the HP screen which gave me the option to do a system restore by using the F10 key. I did that, and nothing happened. it just seemed to stall, and then we got a lovely grainy image of a mountain with a large moon, which we have never seen before.
any other ideas? thanks! Barb
Hi WorldVet - thanks again for your help, but I was not able to do any of the actions you suggested. the computer is completely unresponsive - once at that screen with the mountain and the moon - I cannot do anything. We have called GeekSquad to come to our house later today - this issue is beyond my ability to troubleshoot/solve.
thanks for your suggestions, I appreciate it, and will definitely invest in an external hard drive. good idea.
when its turned on it goes to window xp page then to the dell page then goes to a page with 5 options ..safe mode safe mode wth netwrking safe mode command prompt last known good configuration start windows norm....and i selected them all...it wont go to anything..it keeps going back to the windows xp page then the dell pge then the safe mode pge...over and over again...cannot change settings..keeps asking for a password!..HELP
You have a virus on your hardrive, you a two choices, 1 take the computer to a tech for repairs and virus removal, or invest in a operating system software program, and reinstall your operating system.
Posted on Jan 11, 2010
Choose Last Known Good Configuration. If that doesn't work, choose Safe Mode and then do a system restore to roll back your PC.
Any further questions, please use the comment box below to respond. Thanks.
Posted on Jun 16, 2008
It looks like Windows gave your a safe like mode screen. You would need to open Control Panel, select Display and change your resolution and window size back by trial and error until you get a screen that suits you.
Now, that you can access a Desktop, right click My Computer and choose explorer, right click the C: drive and choose properties, now select the Tools tab and run scandisk. Windows will tell you there are open file handles 'would you like to schedule a repair' choose yes and reboot. Windows will now check your C: drive integrity for errors other than what you may think, such as file security descriptor errors. Do this for every drive. Only the C: drive will want to reboot in most cases.
Once you succeed in getting a good desktop, go into System Restore and create a new restore point. Let me konw if you need an instruction walk throiugh.
If you wold like a link to a program that does a lot of this and is free to use let me know I'll send you a URL to the file download.
I belong to the Open Source Technology Group (ostg.org and their user site sourceforge.net) and our philosophy is to provide free programs instead of the ones that cost lots of money.
I would also create a backup of your C: drive at least. One easy way to backup your system is to invest in an external USB hard drive. Total cost for a 160GB unit will run you a little over $100 and is pretty cheap insurance compared to what you pay for car and homeowners insurance. Your computer's data is just a crucial as your wedding photos, etc.
As always, should you have a further question about the above instructions please use the comment box below to reach me and I'll be glad to work with you until its done and working to your satisfaction.
You're most welcome. There are times, we hate to admit, that email troubleshooting has its shortfall. And, you should know, that a Live Chat session or a Premium Question would have led to the same results. So you made the right choice to post in the forum.
Most of us professionals, take calls like your but over the phone from out clients and new clients. More often than not we have to go onsite to use our experience and intuition to solve the problem.
I hope Geek Squad works out for you and I'm sure it will. In the spirit of full disclosure their techs have an account with us to reach us in a Chat Session should they need it. I say this so you are fully aware, give those guys a chance to do what they do. Being in front of your machine and able to ask you questions at the same time can make all the difference in the world.
If it doesn't work out, call your Chamber of Commerce they know who is who and have a tech they call. I service our CofC myself. You can also search the bbbonline.org for a reputble firm in your area as well. My family is all from New York City and my grandfather and his buddy from WWI started what became the BBB in the mid Twenties over light bulbs, of all things, he instilled in me a strong sense of business integrity that still serves me well today. He retired from the BBB as their second President and first President of and founded the National BBB. I guess I'm biased in that way. I'm also pretty old in my late fifties and look forward to retirement some day soon now.
Have a good day and if things don't work out for some reason, you can always reach me by using the Find Experts link on our home page and I'm in the first few pages or so. We also have a directory of service shops of all types in a directory you can access from the Home Page here and you only have to enter your zip code and pick a problem category.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Don't feel stupid. If you are relatively new to collecting TR items then as many will state it is a mine field with sooo many fakes before you can blink your eye.
As for me i made a big mistake by answering your question without looking at the dagger. A huge mistake on my part !!
Honestly any scripted edge weapon must be looked at carefully as these are a majority of the time bad.

I didn't take any pics, but the kids had such a fun and busy day! I took them to MOPS this morning, then Jimmy took them to Brinca to play followed by a trip to the airport to see the airplanes up close!
Q: Where do you want to travel next?
A: Traveling anywhere far seems daunting right now, but I'd love to take the kids to England someday! For now, I'm enjoying the fact that pretty much anywhere feels like an adventure to a one and almost-three-year-old. For example, they had an incredibly fun time exploring the room at the ENT office. There was a cool bed to climb on, there were fascinating posters on the wall, there were forbidden medical instruments within eyesight, and the doctor gave them a lollipop after Jed's ear exam. Who needs travel?!

I like Mandy Moore. She was great as the prima donna vocalist in American Dreamz. However, she puts her lungs to more effective use in Johannes Roberts 47 Meters Down. The latter was originally destined for VOD (Video on Demand). Yet the success of Jaume Collet-Serras 2016 shark thriller The Shallows inspired Entertainment Studios to go the cinema route. It was a wise move.
Briefly, 47 Meters Down follows two sisters. Theres Kate (Claire Holt), the thrill-seeking younger sibling to Lisa (Mandy Moore). The latter appears happy enough but shes actually in crisis. Her long time relationship floundering, shes vacationing in Mexico with her sister. Meanwhile, two friendly locals establish an immediate rapport with them. Before Lisa knows it, they are on the high seas, ready to experience close encounters from the safety of a shark cage.
The conceit proves to be durability. As such, 47 Meters Down works fine on the first pass. However, a stern requirement for all great films must be the need to return. Sadly, Roberts doesnt give us a reason.
While I cannot criticise Mark Silks underwater cinematography, the opening sags a little. Its not a deal breaker by any means, I simply wanted more sharks. Those that we see bear the ingratitude of anonymity. Where Steven Spielberg teased us with Jaws and made it work, 47 Meter Down carries scant personality. Its as though Roberts and co-writer Ernest Riera forgot to add the important stuff. Meanwhile, jump scares feel relatively scaled down, a last minute compromise that costs the film more than the budget can compensate.
A word on music: many composers including Trevor Rabin, Chuck Cirino and Marco Beltrami have tested the shark infested waters. Reigning over them all must be John Williams Oscar-winning Jaws. Da-Doom! How far those two notes have come! Meanwhile, tomandandy tackle 47 Meters Down minus a scuba tank. Their perpetual keyboard comes across as the naff equivalent of bargain basement amateurism.
Crucially, there are some good things to take away here. For example, Moore conducts herself well. It might not be her finest turn, yet shes playing someone whose bravery proves definitive. Additionally, Holt seems very good, though I suspect there are more colours to her rainbow.
If 47 Meters Down fails to please, I recommend the eBook Shark Weak: The Worst Shark Movies Ever Made. Its hilarious!
(Released by Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures and rated "PG-13" for sequences of intense peril, bloody images and brief strong language.)

As a fan of many movie's, video games, books, and comics, I have that general geeky centric idea for... well decoration. And decided to start popping some Funk-o Pops on the top side of my desk (and some unique vinyl Wario and Empty 1up mushroom mint container). Had a user today ask me why do I do such things, what does it do for me? I'm a geek, and this is a representation of me.
What kind of desk decor and cube decor do you guys have?

Most of my desk is covered in random bits of hardware, cables and other junk, but i do have a little place between my monitor and phone where I place things (until the cleaners decide to move everything.....again). I've got a mug from Spiceworld which i keep my pens in with a Spicerex guarding it, Beelzeduck, an Eaton Beelzeduck (i think that's how it's spelt), two stress peppers and three ponies.

How many different kinds of letters could you write?
Try to have a look and read them! After that, tell you about them here! Did you find them interesting? Did you know of their existance before? Have you ever used a template?
After this, go to pages 50-51 from your books and try to think about differences and similarities about writting emails and business letter, it there are any. Write your answers using the comments option.
Have a nice writing...;)

Hello María, I find the web site with the templates quite useful.ReplyDelete
Of course there are many differences between writing a business letter and an e-mail, even if this one is also related to business. Letters are much more formal and follow a rigid structure; e-mails, on the other hand, tend to be more practical and to get useful and fast information
- Anonymous19 November 2011 at 11:52
You are right regarding letters and e-mails, Antonio but you forgot to tell us if you have ever used a template, if you already knew about this , etc. Would you like to tell us about this too?ReplyDelete
I´ve used a template several times and for several reasons; the first one is that I consider that the way of writing business letters or transactional letters is changing today, we could even talk about modern business letters in opposition to those rigid forms that existed some years ago. In my opinion, it is important "to sell" the message and one way to do it is to change the form, and templates offer this.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous20 November 2011 at 20:08
It´s is true, the way of writing letters has changed nowadays and, probably, we coud say that e-mails have taken their place very often.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your point of view, Antonio.
I knew that they were templates for letters at Microsoft, because I lernt this when I studied Office. I haven't used one of them, maybe because I haven't got that necessity, I didn't have worked at an office. I find them interesting, but I would prefer not to use them, because I would prefer to use my own style, which I would get by the experience.ReplyDelete
About the similarities among mails and business letters, I think they are they can be the same, but in a different format. You can write a formal letter in an email format, with the same words and expressions. Maybe you must be more careful when writting because we tend to be more informal by mail, using emoticons,... I think the point is to avoid them.
- Anonymous21 December 2011 at 17:57
Do you think we tend to use the very same templates all the time or do we use diferent ones depending on who or what we ae writing?ReplyDelete
What do you say?
I think we should use different templates depending on the situation, the person we are writing to,...In fact, the templates in Office are divided into different categories.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11 January 2012 at 11:21
Hi Gisela,ReplyDelete
As you say, they may help us to show a more professional profile depending on the situation.
Something good we must try to use at work!
I know there are many templates for download from the internet and I think they are quiet useful, although I had never used them.ReplyDelete
There are some differences between writing an email and a business letter:
First of all, they use different format. Writing a letter, you will have to put your own address, date and the receiver´s address at the top left of the page, while an email has included the sender´s information automatically and you just need to put on the email address of the receiver.
In most of the business letters, the subject is not necessary. Meanwhile, an email without a subject is not complete.
A hand-writing signature can be used in a formal business letter to authenticate the identification of the sender, while an electronic signature can be applied to an email.
Due to the difficulty of reading on the screen, an email must have a more organized and efficient letter body than a traditional business letter. If it´s needed, you can even make one point per email, in order to express the purpose clearly.
Sending an email is faster and low cost. So in case of urgent matters, writing an email should be the unique choice. For daily communication and follow-ups, to obtain the maximum efficiency, emails are more recommended.
Thanks for your contribution Huang Yi!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9 November 2012 at 14:55
I work with emails on a daily basis and as Huang Yi said its fast to collect information and great to communicate, but I must say sometimes they forget formality on them.ReplyDelete
I work in a busy hotel in London where I answer guests queries and internal issues, I have been looking for templates on internet for a while with not much success. I was trying to make my job easier searching for the correct professional way to answer to some queries...I was reading Lucia and Gisela's conversation and sadly when you are working you don't have time to make every email different and you tend to copy and paste, change the guests name and continue with your next task.
I want to say that these templates have really helped myself and my department, where most of us are not English.
Thank you very much =)

|A Proposal to Improve and Expand Access to Electronic Resources through Per-Use Pricing. By Peter McCracken Against the Grian v23 #5. December 5, 2011
From the article:
An "a-la-carte," or pay-per-use, approach to selected electronic resources, would be a great boon to both library budgets and the patrons they serve. A library might feel that a certain database is not particularly useful, or feel they are paying more than the database is worth to them, but don't want to lose it completely; consider, for example, a database that's being purchased solely to appease one or two faculty members' egos. Pay-per-use access allows this, across many different databases, while freeing up funds for more efficient use.
The rapid introduction of Web-scale discovery layers, such as Serials Solutions' Summon,1 EBSCO's EBSCO Discovery Service, Ex Libris' Primo Central, OCLC's WorldCat Local, and others, provides the perfect layer for applying an a la carte approach across large swaths of data. All of the pieces of technology are available to make this work; all that's needed is some modifications to administrative interfaces in discovery layers, some additional data tracking and reporting, and most importantly, a willingness among libraries and content providers to try something new.
What is necessary for this to happen? Discovery layers must build administrative tools that allow them to track PPV and PPC statistics and fees for each database in their collection, track which databases are managed in what fashion by library, track discounts offered by content providers to libraries, bill libraries for usage on a monthly or quarterly basis and distribute funds to content providers on a similar schedule, and much more.

|'Social metadata' as evaluative metadata
|Give 'em What They Want: A One-year Study of Unmediated Patron-Driven Acquisition
of E-Books. By Karen S. Fischer, Michael Wright, Hope Barton, Edward Shreeves. College & Research Libraries (accepted September 2011 -for (anticipated) publication March 2012)
In September 2009 the University of Iowa Libraries embarked on an experiment with patron driven acquisition (PDA) of e-books with ebrary and YBP. An e-book-only PDA plan was initiated, entirely unmediated and with instantaneous access to the content. MARC records were loaded for each title, determined by our YBP approval profile and other limitations, for a total of 12,000 PDA records. Usage, cost, subject, and publisher data were analyzed for 850 purchased PDA e-books and thousands of other ebrary subscription titles. Results indicate that PDA can be a useful and effective tool for meeting user needs and building the local collection, but the role of PDA in the library's collection management program presents challenges as well as opportunities.
|'Drinking the E-book Kool-Aid in a Large Academic Library.' By Wendy Allen Shelburne, Electronic Resources Librarian, Acting Head of Acquisitions, and Associate Professor of Library Administration at University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign
Information Standards Quarterly (ISQ) Spring 2011 Volume 23, Issue 2. Special Issue: Views of the E-book Renaissance
MARC, Metadata, and Why Isn't It in the OPAC Yet?
After models, I suspect the next challenge with e-books is MARC records and managing discovery. From who makes them to where do we get them and ending with the never-ending discussion about quality, it seems that no one, even if they tried, could come up with a harder thing to do relative to e-books. Given that there is now access to electronic abstracts for books, and frankly more metadata than we ever dreamed of relative to book publishing, are we really going to continue with the MARC record as the gold standard of access to an e-book? It is unfathomable to me that almost nine years after Roy Tennant declared "MARC Must Die" I am still trying to figure out why it is so hard to load the MARC records for the e-books, and am now also watching the growing e-book cataloging backlog that
might ultimately match those cataloging backlogs of print, which never quite seem to completely go away. It is also patently clear to me that it is a good thing I decided not to pursue a career in cataloging, as I obviously would have been really bad at it. Further, I have to say that I remain very worried that link resolvers and associated electronic resource management knowledgebases and tools will never truly match what is needed to manage e-books because we remain forever tied to MARC, and still somehow lack the ability to rethink not only how we buy these materials but how we provide access to them. Seriously, did we not learn anything at all from e-journals?
|Interesting comments on MARC records and ebooks (see left)
|June issue of 'Against the grain' is focussed on PDA Several articles
'A publisher's perspective on PDA' by Rebecca Seger and Lenny Allen for OUP has this to say *specifically* on metadata.
'In a demand driven world, the publishers who will have the most successful transition are the ones who do their utmost to ensure their content is being "driven to" at all points of the research spectrum. Discoverability through enhanced metadata is of key importance and it is truly up to publisher to drive discoverability of their books'

|UC Libraries Academic e-Book Usage Survey Springer e-Book Pilot Project
University of California Libraries. May 2011
From the report:
Findings related to specific e-book functionalities:
Springer e-book usage is impacted by both university status and area of study or research. Postdoctoral researchers were most likely to have used Springer e-books (51%), followed closely by graduate students (49%), faculty and lecturers (32%), and undergraduate students (20%). Respondents in the physical sciences and engineering reported the highest use of Springer e-books (62%), followed by life and health sciences (39%), social sciences (32%), business and law (18%), and arts and humanities (17%).
|Post graduate use higher than UG
Discovery: e-book users are most likely to discover e-books through 1) the library catalog, 2) a general Internet search engine, or 3) the library website.

|Problematizing Patron-Driven Acquisitions. Peer to Peer Review.A library is more than a shopping site built to satisfy immediate patron needs.By Barbara Fister, Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, MN. Library Journal 11 November 2010
I think patron-driven ebook acquisitions for an academic library is a terrible idea
Patron-driven acquisition puts an enormous amount of faith in catalogs. With all due respect, they work pretty well when you know what you're looking for, but I have yet to meet the metadata that is better than what cataloging and classification can provide in combination.
People who would never shell out $30 for an article that may or may not be useful are content with those prices-so long as the library picks up the tab. The trend to view libraries as merely the purchaser of intellectual property raises the question of why we should invest in libraries and library staff when our function is merely to handle bills for consumables?

|(ExLibris) E-Books Management Focus Group Update and Discussion 2010 (?)
Notes from the user group meeting...(refers to work at Newcastle University (UK)
"Let me first explain how PDA works in a nutshell: The library puts a large sum of money in a deposit account with the vendor. The vendor provides records for a large number of e-books, which the library loads into its OPAC. Patrons access the e-books via the OPAC. When the number of patron accesses to any single e-book title reaches a pre-agreed threshold, the library is charged for a perpetual license to that title. It sounds simple, but there were plenty of wrinkles to work out. The main issues they identified included:
Metadata and CKB (Central Knowledge Base) management issues. They covered the current issues with metadata for e-books, and then tossed out ideas for how a Central Knowledgebase might be able to help. Some current concerns include:

|Case Study: A Year of Demand Driven Acquisition at the Open Polytechnic Library
January 12th, 2011
Published in a recent edition of the New Zealand Library & Information Management Journal is a detailed analysis of the first twelve months of demand driven acquisition with EBL at Open Polytechnic by Geoff Kelly, Collections & Liaison Librarian.
The trial was reviewed in December 2009, and as a result the Library decided to continue with Demand Driven Acquisition in 2010. Overall, we are happy with our experience of DDA. We increased the size of the collection that patrons can access by about 300%, and we gave our patrons the discretion to manage their own online borrowing through STLs, while the Autopurchase facility allows staff and students to participate in collection building. Unlike normal print selection, every ebook Autopurchase has the added advantage that a text has been bor- rowed or used at least twice as STLs and at least once more after the Autopur- chase occurs. This compares well with our print and pre-purchased ebook collec- tions, 12% of whose items have never been issued. Usage reports of STLs and Autopurchases can also provide liaison librarians with useful guidance for collec- tion development.

January 14th, 2010
At the recent Charleston Conference in November 2009, Jason Price & John McDonald from Claremont College presented "Beguiled by Bananas : A retrospective study of the usage & breadth of patron vs. librarian acquired ebook collections."
Some questions asked inclued, 'Are user-selected ebooks used less often than pre-selected ebooks?', 'Do user-selected ebooks have a narrower audience?' and 'Are user-selected collections less balanced?'.
This paper provides an evaluative analysis of librarian acquisition vs. patron acquisition of ebooks using actual acquisition data from many libraries. The statistics and discussion were based on data provided by EBL and includes discussion from EBL's Kari Paulson and Alison Morin. Please take a look at their findings linked here:

August 19th, 2009 Lily
Susan Macicak and Lindsey Schell from the Library at the University of Texas, Austin (UTA), have kindly provided us with the comprehensive case study they presented at the 2008 Annual Charleston Conference. Described as "experimentation with an environment of controlled risk", UTA ran an extensive pilot, opening EBL's entire catalogue to their students and automatically renting or purchasing ebooks according to emerging patterns of demand. The following slides benefits and challenges associated patron-driven acquisition of ebooks, comparing circulation statistics of ebooks to print books and highlighting the higher accessibility of an ebook version.
As one of the first large institutions to trial demand-driven acquisition on such a large scale, this presentation makes for an interesting and informed read.

On November 11th I went to The Eternal Flame in Kiev to pay my respects to the souls lost in war. The flame burns day and night at The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier killed in the IIWW.
Passing through The Park of Eternal Glory towards the granite obelisk, I saw children playing around the monument. Happy, healthy and smiling, their innocent little faces not yet aware of the ugly game of war.
I thought of the many soldiers who never returned to their families and remembered my visits to the military cemeteries in northern France and Belgium.
I was seventeen when I went to Ypres, walking among rows of white gravestones some with names and others "A soldier of The Great War", some only teenage boys.
You don't forget that.
American, British and Commonwealth soldiers all lie where they fell.
Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world with 11,954 soldiers buried. The never-ending lines of white marble hit you wave upon wave. The scale, the silence, the enormity, is overwhelming.
These thousands of strangers fought so we can walk the same plains freely.
I owe them my life. We all do.
The German Langemark Cemetery has 24,917 soldiers buried in a mass grave. Back then this was the enemy. Now a reminder of the cost and madness of war. German or British, neither returned from battle. On both sides men were sent to destroy each other, reducing humans to killing machines, all paying the ultimate price.
In Flanders fields you sense the scars of the past. It shivers over you and never leaves.
Standing where 90,000 men perished, on ground that holds their memories, soaked up their blood, and covers their bones, like the land you are forever changed.
Nothing could grow on the barren battlefields, the soil so shaken and damaged, but for a little crimson bloom.
Every spring a blanket of red poppies now covers the fallen.
The earth where guns once raged, gently turns fields of blood to fields of blossoms – a poppy for a vanished soul.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
– John McCrae, May 1915

A few days later in the week on our way down the man was sitting outside.
I don't know who he is or if we will ever meet him and have a chance to help him. But, I do know that he is only one of probably thousands that live in conditions like these. A day doesn't go by that we aren't approached by someone wanting help, most always in the form of money. We wish we could help them all but we can't. After seeing these living conditions I am very thankful for my less than comfortable bed, for the roof over my head, and the running water and electricity that we have (which either, at any given moment can go out).
One day soon I will introduce you to Miss Water.

Capers (alcaparras) also come from the same bush as the caper berries, but are the flower bud rather than the fruit.
Capers have numerous properties; they are a big source of natural antioxidants and they whet your appetite. Used in many recipes from different cultures, they are an important ingredient in sauces such as the well-known "tartar sauce" or as an appetizer. They are also delicious marinated and go well with products such as smoked salmon or salads.

I'm thinking of switching to a Mac. I went into an Apple store today and was talking to one of the guys there. He was pretty convincing about switching.
My problem is I'm so confident with the pc OS. Mac just seems so foreign and goofy. But I hate Windows. My internet browser bombs at least once a day. Internet Explorer is more unreliable than an FSU offensive scheme.
I gotta do something though. My classes would be much easier with a laptop. If I have to sit through another International Business class without some kind of escape I'm going to start banging my head against the desk just to get some brain stimulation. Not only is that class boring as hell; my teacher doesn't even speak the language. English is like her fourth language or something.

I have a 14" G3 iBook, the dual USB one running OSX 10.2.8 with 640MB Memory and 900MHz Processor. Just a cheap thing I bought online.
When I first switched it on it was working fine. Opened the disc drive to test it worked and it was fine. Played a DVD with it fine. Stopped it and ejected it then closed the disc tray and restarted after doing some software updates.
When I switched it back on the disc tray opened itself making a strange noise not like before just before it plays the startup chime. Its been doing this since I used the disc drive and it also does it when you power on from sleep too. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have tried the hardware test CD, Starting up in OS9, Blowing into the drive, Making sure eject buttons and mouse button aren't jammed at all, Reinstalling the OS and all apps using an external drive and doing all available updates. There are no devices connected to it, and it still does it.
If the disc drive needs replacing, how easy is it to open it up to get to it?
Thanks, And just thought I'd ask if anyone had any ideas before I try to replace the drive.

Minnesotans...uff da!
I am a Minnesotan. And I have been for most of my life, since my Dad retired from the military and we stopped moving every few years. I'm talking 20 years of Minnesotan, raised by 2 Minnesota-born parents. Oh and we visited my grandparents for about a month every summer in, where else? Minnesota.
But let's face it; we Minnesotans are a different breed.
Do they show commercials featuring things like corn-borers or rootworms in other areas of the country? (Adjacent states excepted, of course.)
Would you be amused to know that we actually have a segment on our local news that displays the following words on our television screens: Live Cattle, Feeder Cattle, Lean Hogs, BFP Dairy Futures, Cash Corn and Beans. And there are people that are interested to know this information.
I was about to say that there are no corn fields in my yard, but alas, there is one across the street. We take our children out into the road to watch our neighboring farmer harvest his crop in the fall. We can hear the combine running late into the night. And I just realized that I have admitted to you all that I know what some farm equipment is called.
We are oddly proud that we have an abundance of mosquitoes, and actually have t-shirts adorned with pictures of mosquitoes.
We say things like "I'm going to the store, do you want to go with?" and this is considered a complete sentence. With what? Who?
We eat things called hotdishes.
My Mom regularly "warshes" her clothes, and sits on a Davenport. (This is a couch, or sofa, to me.)
"You betcha!"
At one of my former jobs, my then-boss, a Cajun transplant by way of California, called me into her office and closed the door. She had just returned from a Toastmasters meeting and was bewildered by something she heard there. "Heather, they told me to help myself to a bar! I got the feeling that they didn't mean a place with alcohol…WTF is a bar?"
We wave to people that we don't know. Jeff, over at View From the Cloud, did a nice little tutorial about motorcycle-wave etiquette. I think some of it translates to the friendly Minnesotan "howdy" wave from a car, with the exception that (if we're in our neighborhood or even in the neighborhood of a friend, relative or acquaintance) we just wave at everyone. The degree of the wave can still vary, as Jeff explains.
We think nothing of asking a fellow shopper to get something for us off the top shelf, or even ask for a coupon. (Even after you've butted in line in front of them at the gas station…gerrrr.)
No wonder they make movies like Fargo and Drop Dead Gorgeous about Minnesotans.

Ok, you all know that I'm not from here, so I too want to know:
WTF is a bar?

My friend from Utah refers to these as "pan cookies."
If you really want to feel foreign in Minnesota, visit the Iron Range sometime...I'm from Northern Minnesota, and I can't understand what those people are saying.
- Nikkie said...
I'm not from Minnesota, but in my neck of the woods there are commercials for Farm Equipment and Cattle Auctions. Its also not at all rare to see harvest reports on the local news!
- Kara said...
Michael travels all over Minnesota for business and laughs at what people say in the different parts of the state. Eh? Yah? Watcha got der? (There, I guess)
Since I moved up here in 1995, I have to admit that I've picked up the accent of the long O and added vowels to certain words. Not as bad as some of my relatives though.
I'm not sure if I'm proud of the dialect or not?!
- Bonnie B said...
I love Minnesota. It's a beautiful state full of nice people. You do have a ton of mosquitos, but you all also have a quaint beautiful way about you. I'd love to go back for a visit ( I was there 12 years ago)

Thanks for the shout out! You're absolutely right, MN IS a funny place. In fact, I also wrote one about MN weird a while ago here.

Bi-polar voltage ref operates on 850nA supply current
Keywords:Voltage reference power shunt load
Linear Technology debuts a voltage reference, the LT6656 that can replace low power shunt references, offering better efficiency and regulation in the presence of variable load current and supply voltages. The LT6656 is a precision SOT23 voltage reference that operates on only 850nA of supply current.
It has an initial error of less than 0.05% and a guaranteed temperature drift of less than 10ppm/°C. This combination of precision and ultra low power is ideal for portable, wireless and remote devices. With an output drive capability of 5mA, the LT6656 is suitable for a wide range of applications. For example, the LT6656 could serve as both the supply voltage and the precision reference for a low power, high resolution ADC. The LT6656 can replace low power shunt references, offering better efficiency and regulation in the presence of variable load current and supply voltages. For many applications, the extremely low quiescent current allows the LT6656 to remain in an always-on, stable state.
Building on Linear Technology's extensive family of precision voltage references, the LT6656 is optimised for battery-powered operation. This high performance bipolar device can withstand reverse battery conditions, accept input voltages up to 18V and operate from voltages as low as 3mV above the output voltage. When unpowered, the output is high impedance, avoiding loading on the rest of the circuit. The LT6656 is fully specified for operation from —40°C to 85°C, and is guaranteed functional over the extreme temperature range of —55°C to 125°C.
"The high precision of the LT6656, combined with only 1uA of supply current packaged in a tiny SOT23, demonstrates a significant advance in voltage reference technology," stated Brendan Whelan, design manager for Linear Technology.
The LT6656 is currently in production with 7 voltage options: 1.25V, 2.048V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V, 4.096V & 5V. Prices start at Rs.80.35 ($1.74) each in 1,000-piece quantities.
