Volcanic Cataclysmic 'Super Eruption' Much Closer Than Previously Thought
Volcanoes and 'bolides' – such as asteroids – are geohazards powerful enough to be destructive on a global scale. One recent assessment described them as capable of returning humanity to a 'pre-civilisation' state. The largest explosive eruptions are termed 'super-eruptions'and produce in excess of 1,000 gigatons of erupted mass – enough to blanket an entire continent with volcanic ash, and change global weather patterns for decades.

'Potentially hazardous' asteroid to fly by Earth; Closest pass in 40 years…
NASA expects Phaethon to be the closest to Earth on Dec. 16, when it's projected to be more than 6.4 million miles away. That's about 27 times the average distance between Earth and the moon, which is 238,855 miles. It will be the closest this asteroid has been to Earth since Dec. 16, 1974, when it was just over 5 million miles away, according to NASA. But humans weren't aware of its presence until later; the asteroid was first discovered in 1983. READ MORE
Winter storm covers Hawaii summits in snow
Snow fell Monday on the summits of Mauna Loa and Maunakea after the National Weather Service declared a winter storm warning.
The warning extends through 6 p.m. today. Summits could see up to six inches of snow in total, although NWS meteorologist Leigh Anne Eaton said any significant accumulation is unlikely.
"It's probably going to be a snow-rain mix," Eaton said.
She said the storm is the result of a weather front of "enhanced
moisture," which will sweep across the windward side of the Big Island,
causing heavy showers throughout the island's east side and snowfall at
higher altitudes.
Snowfall is expected to continue on the mountains throughout the week, with the weather service predicting an 80 percent chance of snow showers each day through Thursday night.
Parts of Siberia are Colder Than Minus 60 Degrees Fahrenheit, and It's Only November
If that wasn't incredible enough, the daytime high in Delyankir Tuesday failed to rise above -60 degrees.
Oymyakon, Russia, plummeted to minus 66 degrees. This region is generally regarded as the coldest inhabited place on the Earth.
The mercury has dipped into the minus 50s or colder eight days in a row in Oymyakon through Wednesday.
Temperatures this extreme are par for the course in this area during the heart of winter, but it's significantly colder than the average November low of close to minus 40.

The particular construction of a paper aircraft, by Bateau De Papier Paul Hebert Ludwig Prandtl at the 1924 banquet of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, was dismissed as an artless exercise by Theodore von K? rm? in
Prandtl was also somewhat impulsive. I recall that on one occasion at a rather dignified dinner meeting carrying out a conference in Delft, Holland, my sister, who sat next to him at the table, questioned him something on the mechanics of flight. This individual started to explain; throughout it he picked upward a paper menu and fashioned a little model aircraft, without thinking Origami Paper Michaels where he was. It landed on the shirtfront of the French Minister of Education, much to the embarrassment of my sister and others at the banquet.
In 1930 Jack Northrop (co-founder of Lockheed Corporation) used document planes as test models for larger aircraft. In Germany, during the 1930s, designers at Heinkel and Junkers used paper models in order to set up basic performance and structural forms in important tasks, including the Heinkel 111 and Junkers 88 tactical bomber programmes.
With time, a number of other designers have enhanced and developed the Comment Dessiner Avion En Papier papers model, while using it as a fundamentally useful tool in aircraft design. One of the original known applied (as in compound structures and many other aerodynamic refinements) modern paper plane was in 1909.[citation needed]
There have been many design improvements, including velocity, lift, propulsion, style and fashion, over subsequent years.
In recent years, paper model aircraft have gained great sophistication, and very high trip performance far removed from their origami origins, yet even origami aircraft have gained many new and exciting designs over the years, and gained much in conditions Dessin D'un Avion En Papier of airline flight performance.
Origami Paper Folding There's no need to spend a fortune on your kids to have fun! You can spend quality time together right at home.
Trust me these are more likely to keep in mind the special times you spent together making that special paper craft than they are going away to Disneyland or something.
Paper crafts will give them a sense of achievement. Let them make something beautiful and let them enjoy your compliment. I'm hoping you will find a Avion En Papier Qui Vole lot of useful papers folding ideas, kids crafts and origami things for you and the kids right here on this site. No need to go out and buy paper crafts when you already have all the materials right there within your house.
For over a thousand years after this, paper aircraft were the dominant man-made heavier-than-air craft whose principles could be readily appreciated, though thanks to their high drag coefficients, not of an exceptional performance when gliding over long ranges. The pioneers of driven flight have all analyzed paper model
aircraft in order to develop larger machines. Da Vinci wrote of the building of the model plane out of parchment, and of testing a few of his early ornithopter, an aircraft that flies by flapping wings, and parachute designs using paper models. Thereafter, Sir George Cayley explored the performance of paper gliders in the late 19th century. Additional pioneers, such as Craigslist? ment Ader, Prof. Charles Langley, and Alberto Santos-Dumont often tested ideas with paper as well as balsa models to verify (in scale) their hypotheses before putting them
The origin|The foundationgliders is generally considered to be of Ancient The far east, although there is the same evidence that the processing and development of folded gliders occurred in the same measure in Japan. Certainly, manufacture of paper on a widespread scale took place in China five-hundred BCE, and origami and paper folding became popular in just a century of this period, approximately 460-390 BCE. It is impossible to ascertain where and in what form the first paper aircraft were made, or even the first paper plane's form.

THE RAID: REDEMPTION (serbuan maut) (2011 INDONESIA US) D/W: GARETH HUW EVANS P: ARIO SAGANTORO
A heavily armed SWAT-like extraction team of cops are sent into a tower block to takedown a crime boss who rents the rooms out to wanted criminals. The residents are given incentive to protect him, so it's a floor-by-floor bloodbath of guns and pencak silat (Indonesia martial arts). Iko Uwais stars as the team rookie fighting for his (and others') life. The stripped-down video game-like plot is just enough framework for some brutal, exhilarating fight footage (aided by subtle CGI touches). Not the second coming (some critics unfamiliar with the rich heritage of martial arts cinema went a bit ga-ga), but a lot of fun. With Yayan Ruhian as Mad Dog, and Ray Sahetapy. The domestic and international cuts have different soundtracks. Welsh Director Evans (who also edited) had previously made MERANTAU with Uwais.

EMMA Acres
Exeter, Rhode Island
Though Cynthia Laprise was raised on a dairy farm, she and her husband Scooter are relative newcomers to running their own dairy operation. They've owned the farm all along – Scooter and Cynthia believe that a farm is the best place to raise a family – but they added their registered Jersey cows a mere six and a half years ago, in February 2008.
The idea of family is in the very DNA of EMMA Acres – it's named after the four Laprise children, Elizabeth, Matthew, Maggie, and Alex. Scooter runs a successful logging business and Cynthia is a full-time registered nurse, but taking precedence over everything else is cows and kids, often at the same time.
Scooter is known for taking farm kids under his wing and helping them show their cows at local fairs. He even makes sure that kids who want to participate but don't live on a farm or have their own animals, are able to borrow animals to show. These kids take care of their temporary charges and put their heart and soul into making a good showing at every outing. It's just one more way Scooter brings dairy farming into the community.
Here are Cynthia's answers to our Farmer Friday questions:
What is the best thing about being a dairy farmer?
The best part about dairy farming is the arrival of the new babies! As our farm grows we get so excited about each new calf and what their potential is for our farm. With each generation of calves we hope to improve genetics and see the benefits of breeding choices. The babies are the best part of farming by far!
What is a favorite family meal?
When things get really busy on the farm, we like to keep mealtime pretty simple. You can't go wrong with a grilled cheese sandwich – made with Cabot Cheddar, of course – and soup. We like this one, Tomato Cheddar Soup, especially in the fall and winter.
What is your favorite time of year on the farm?
My favorite time of year on the farm is springtime. I just love seeing everything green up and blossom. But the girls would say summer because that's show season. And showing cows is what they love to do most! They love getting their animals beautiful and ready for a show.
What is the one thing you would like people who have never experienced farm life to know?
We have people come to visit our farm pretty regularly and when they visit I always want them to know that we care a lot about our animals. I tell them how much time we put into making sure they have a well balanced diet and clean living conditions. I love for visitors to watch us milk and in fact encourage them to come at milking time. This way they see the effort we put into making quality milk. I believe people should know where their food comes from and how farmers work so hard to be good stewards of their land and good caretakers of their animals.

SIX brothers have been ordered to stay out of counties Clare and Mayo "unless they have a court appearance or need to consult with their solicitors".
This was one of the conditions of bail in the case against the brothers,varying in ages from late 20s to early 30s, who appeared before Judge Mary Devins at Castlebar District Court on Tuesday on charges arising out incidents at a funeral in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo on Monday.
Michael McDonagh, Thomas McDonagh, Owen McDonagh, Johnny McDonagh, Patrick McDonagh and Martin McDonagh, who had been taken into custody on Monday, were charged with Section 3 assaults and each surrendered their passport and agreed to abide by a daily curfew from 10pm to 8am and to sign on at Letterkenny Garda Station in Donegal on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The six, all with the same addresses at a halting site, The Big Isle, Manorcunningham, County Donegal, were given bail under a number of conditions, which included a cash lodgement of €500 each to be made in court.
It was also a condition of their bail that they provide a mobile telephone number and stay out of counties Mayo and Clare unless they have a court appearance or need to consult with their solicitors.
Each of the defendants also gave an undertaking not to contact any witnesses that may be involved in the case.
Inspector Tom Calvey, who laid down the bail conditions, said more charges are likely to be preferred against the defendants, all of whom had their applications for free legal aid deferred.
All were remanded on bail to appear back in Castlebar District Court on July 19.

Are Older Diabetes Drugs Safe and Effective?
by Jay H. Shubrook, DO and Allison M. Petznick, DO
Dr Shubrook: There are so many medicines used to treat diabetes today. The great majority of them are new. One of the questions I get asked is: What is the place for the older medicines? Where and when do you use them?
Dr Petznick: I definitely think there's a place for the older medications. One of
the biggest things that I deal with on a day-to-day basis is the cost of newer medications.
If you give a patient a medication and they can't afford it, they're not going to
take no matter what you recommend. That's the situation in which I will usually use
those older medications.

This week's trade retrospective looks at the trade of 2-time MVP Juan Gonzalez from the Rangers to the Tigers on 11/2/1999. This trade was Gonzalez, P Danny Patterson, and C Gregg Zaun going to the Tigers in exchange for P Alan Webb, IF/OF Frank Catalanatto, P Francisco Cordero, C Bill Haselman, OF Gabe Kapler, and P Justin Thompson.
The Background
The Rangers, after a 95 win season and a 1st round elimination from the playoffs, were looking to cut payroll, and saw an opportunity to potentially move a large portion of salary in Juan Gonzalez. Gonzalez was slated to make $7.5 million, and would be a free agent after the 2000 season.
The Tigers had just fired their previous manager, Larry Parrish, and were looking for some much needed improvement on offense. In addition, they were moving into their new stadium to start the 2000 season, and wanted to make a big splash.
The Moving Pieces
Gonzalez slotted into the heart of the Tigers lineup for the 2000 season, and slated to play RF. Patterson was put into the Tigers bullpen as a reliever, and Zaun was actually traded to the Royals as a part of a conditional trade prior to the start of the 2000 season.
For the Rangers, Frank Catalanotto was to be used as a bench/super utility player for the Rangers. Francisco Cordero was put into the bullpen, Haselman's spot was to replace Zaun as the backup catcher for Pudge Rodriguez, and Gabe Kapler was penciled in as the starting center fielder. Alan Webb was sent to the minors, but the big loss was Justin Thompson. Thompson was coming off of 3 solid seasons, and had been widely viewed as the centerpiece to the trade. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn rotator cuff early in 2000, and did not make his debut with the team that season.
What Happened Next
The Tigers unfortunately didn't build a whole lot of offense around Juan Gonzalez, and the team actually played just as bad as the previous year. They finished 79-83, good for 3rd in their division. Gonzalez posted a solid season, but definitely not up to his expected standard. He posted a .289/.337/.505 slash line with 22 HR and 67 RBI in only 115 games. Gonzalez was also vocal in his complaints about how large newly-opened Comerica Park played.
The Rangers fell to a 71-91 record in 2000, and were still lacking pitching behind Kenny Rogers and Rick Helling. The team got some solid production out of their new CF, Gabe Kapler. He posted a .302/.360/.473 line with 14 HR, 66 RBI, and 8 SB. Haselman and Catalanatto were reasonable backups off the bench.
The Net Moves
Tigers – First Level
- Gonzalez had turned down an 8 year, $140 million dollar extension shortly after being traded to the Tigers. Although he posted a solid season by most standards, it was not the production that they were expecting from him. At one point, the Tigers had a trade in place during this season to send Gonzalez to the Yankees for Ricky Ledee and minor leaguers Randy Keisler and Drew Henson. However, Gonzalez had a full no-trade clause, and would not accept the trade if the Yankees required him to sign a 1 year contract extension first. As a result, he stayed with the Tigers throughout the 2000 season, and left via free agency.
- Danny Patterson spent the next 5 seasons with the Tigers, posting a 10-11 record with a 4.02 ERA in 183 2/3 IP.
- It is unclear what, if anything, the Tigers ended up receiving in return for C Gregg Zaun.
- After Gonzalez signed with the Cleveland Indians, the Tigers received 2 compensation picks. They used these picks to select Mike Woods and Matt Coenen, neither of whom ever played in the Majors.
Rangers – First Level
- Alan Webb was a minor league journeyman, who only played the 2000 season with the Rangers organization. He was out of baseball by 2005.
- Frank Catalanatto spent the next 3 seasons with the Rangers, really only as a starter in 2001. 2001 was his best season with the team, as he hit .330/391/.490 with 11 HR, 54 RBI, and 15 SB. He left via free agency after the 2002 season.
- Francisco Cordero pitched in the bullpen for the Rangers until the 2006 season, when he was traded at the trade deadline to the Milwaukee Brewers for Nelson Cruz and Carlos Lee. He posted a 21-20 record with 117 saves, a 3.45 ERA, and 1.36 WHIP while with the Rangers.
- Bill Haselman was with the Rangers as their backup catcher up through the 2002 season. He left via free agency, and signed with the Tigers after the 2002 season.
- Gabe Kapler was with the Rangers until the trade deadline in the 2002 season. He posted a .280/.342/.433 line with 31 HR, 155 RBI, and 36 SB in the time there. He was traded on July 31, 2002 to the Rockies for OF Todd Hollandsworth and P Dennys Reyes.
- Justin Thompson may be the saddest part of the whole trade, as he never really recovered from his injuries, and was not able to pitch in the Major Leagues for the Rangers until 2005, and only make 2 appearances as a Ranger. He was granted free agency after the 2005 season, and retired part of the way into the 2006 season.
Rangers – Second Level
- Todd Hollandsworth played in 39 games for the Rangers in the 2002 season, posting a .258/.327/.417 slash line with 5 HR and 19 RBI. He was granted free agency after the season, and signed with the Florida Marlins.
- Dennys Reyes went 4-3 in 15 appearances . He posted a 6.38 ERA and a 1.795 WHIP, and did not return to the Rangers after the season.
- Carlos Lee had an excellent portion of a season with the Rangers, hitting .322/.369/.525 with 9 HR, 35 RBI and 7 SB in 59 games with the Rangers. He left via free agency after the 2006 season, signing with the cross-state Houston Astros.
- Nelson Cruz remains with the Rangers to this date. 2009 was his first full season as a regular player, posting 33 HR, 76 RBI, and 20 SB along with a .260 batting average.
- The Rangers received two compensation picks for losing Lee, which they used to draft P Blake Beaven and OF Julio Borbon. Borbon is currently on the Major League team, and Beaven remains in the minor leagues.
Overall Reactions
This one was pretty ugly overall. The Tigers thought they were going to get excellent production out of Gonzalez, and hoped to sign him long term. Neither of these came to pass. The Rangers spent that season trying to unload salary and lower costs, only to go out after the 2000 season and spend a quarter of a billion dollars to sign Alex Rodriguez. The Rangers, to me, pretty clearly won this trade. 6 years of Francisco Cordero, 3 years of Gabe Kapler, and the pieces to acquire Nelson Cruz and Julio Borbon. Obviously, the unfortunate thing with this is the amount of people who lost out related to this. There was Gonzalez, and his stubbornness about the fences at Comerica, which cost him well over $100 million dollars. There was Justin Thompson, who unfortunately never was the same once he was traded from the Tigers. Neither team really benefitted immediately from this trade, but the long term effects continue to make this one a winner for the Rangers.

This has been out since before the release of Windows 8 but I neglected to review it because I have never been a very good Minesweeper player. I suppose I could improve if I played it more, even so just has never been a favorite. I should have tried it before as it has a mode I really enjoy.
The initial screen is designed very similar to the other free games, Mahjong and Solitaire. You have 3 levels of difficulty and a custom mode, adventure mode (more later) and daily challenges. There are currently only 2 themes, would like to see more but nice you change the view a little. As with all three of these free games, it has a few achievements you can earn to link with your gamertag on Xbox LIVE. Continuing on to the right you'll get Medals, Daily challenge results, a leaderboard, statistics, quick links to help and an ad. I wish it adjusted to my screen resolution as there is a lot of open space at the bottom. If you look at the other two games linked earlier in this paragraph they were with older monitor and therefore do have less empty space.
The minesweeper you are all familiar with has been beefed up with fancier graphics and colors. The fundamentals are still the same to find all the bombs without setting them off, using flags to denote where you think a bomb is located and the numbers to help you determine which blocks are bombs. It works as expected and as you get an achievement you'll get the notification pop up. Each level of difficulty is just a bigger grid. The custom mode though lets you choose not only the size of the grid (height and width up to 30×30) but number of bombs (from 10 to 64). More variety than ever possible here.
The daily challenges allow you to earn medals each month as you complete the 3 challenges that appear each day. The different modes provided are Classic, Flags, Detonation, Treasure Hunt and Squares. Pictured above is Detonation which is the opposite of the regular game, you need to find all the bombs with a limited number of moves to be wrong. Flags has you just mark the spot of a certain number of bombs. With Treasure Hunt you need to find the treasure surrounded by bombs (can hit certain number of bombs and still win). Squares you need to uncover a certain number of spaces without detonating a certain number of bombs. These challenges provide an ever-changing variety of gameplay and much welcome who might tire of the normal game.
Adventure Mode – this is the mode that really drew me to try out this game further. You are a character who bears a passing resemblance to Indiana Jones and you need to find your way to the exit locating gold and avoiding monsters and traps to get there. In these maps, not every block relates to a trap (not bombs here) so sometimes you can click without worry. You'll find various tools like a pickaxe, arrows and dynamite to help you complete the level. It requires you to figure out the location of the traps using the number clues and figuring the best way to get to the money (not all is visible at first, some shows up when you dig – click a box) and the exit. There are also shields to protect you and hearts to help you heal (if hit by a trap).
This mode fits me more and maybe you as well. I like the challenge, but feel it has more of a goal for me than just completing the grid. It showers you with congratulations and confetti when you complete a level as well. The biggest disappointment with the mode was that I died and had to start all over. I made it to level 4 and made too many mistakes and died, next time I ran the game, I was back on level 1 ! That sucks as I felt I accomplished so much and now just had to go and do it all over again. If you stop mid-game and close the game and start again you'll be back on same level, but if you die you have to start over completely. I don't like the idea of having to start from the beginning each time.
Search – nothing to search. Share – is only for telling everyone you are playing Minesweeper. Settings – has quick links to how to play, a few options as well. Turn on/off alerts, show timer on/off, volume and a few others for touch controls.
The classic game in the 3 difficulties plus custom mode can be played in the snapped view if you want. It is a bit squished, but works. You cannot play daily challenges or adventure mode in the column snapped view.
The tile is small by default but live tile attributes only show when the tile is the larger size.
The game is much improved visually over how it was over the past several years going basically unchanged. The core gameplay though hasn't changed and even adds several other modes through the Daily Challenges and especially with the addition of the Adventure Mode. It still isn't a game for me, but the Adventure Mode would have been dynamite if I didn't have to start over after dying. A quality game can be had for free here for minesweeper addicts.

Bad dialogue
You know you are writing some legitimately bad dialogue when in your head, all of your supporting characters sound like your high school drama league doing bad British accents.
Lost a chunk of my hair last night to a deranged woman with scissors
My instructor is very good, especially at being a mean, heartless woman who delights in beating me to a pulp and working me until I vomit. After a grueling hour lesson, with shaking arms I helped my niece tack up her pony, and then she and I went on a nice long trail ride.
As I was driving her home, my sister rang me and begged me to wait at her house until she finished grocery shopping. She had something very important to ask me. I agreed. When I arrived, I made a snack and then promptly passed out on her couch, the remnants of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich smeared on my face.
When I awoke, I screamed and threw myself backward into the couch cushions. Standing over me was my sister, scissors in one hand, and an ENORMOUS FREAKING CHUNK OF MY HAIR IN THE OTHER.
Apparently, she's recently become obsessed with Victorian mourning jewelry. Yes, that's jewelry made from locks of dead people hair.
I pointed out to her that I wasn't dead yet, and she replied, "Well, you will be. Maybe sooner than you think! It's best to be prepared."
So that was a thing that happened.
Here are some examples of what she wants to make:
Yum yum yum
After my morning run, a neighbor stopped me as I was just rounding the corner to make it back to my house, and she asked me if I wanted some mangoes. I took three, and oh my lord, they are delicious. Ate one as-is with breakfast and am saving two more to make this tonight:
Edited to add: OMG, it was so good! The mangoes were perfect, and I threw in a jalapeno pepper to make it extra spicy. We ate the whole thing last night.
Business trips and the MeToo movement
I'm still emotionally recovering from the Vermont trip. It's an annual business trip where my team members and I have to go present our performance to a group of advisors made up pretty exclusively of drunken, entitled old men who think they are smarter than everyone else because they used inherited money to start businesses.
I certainly enjoyed my time with the 80 year old man who decried the #metoo movement as women not allowing men to flirt anymore.
The accommodations were lovely, but shared… which essentially means that I was in a cottage with my boss and four other team members, all men.
I just have a lot of disdain for and discomfort in that world. I question whether it's the right place for me, even though it brings me high earning potential. I'd rather make less money and feel good about what I'm doing.
Yesterday, I ran a mile and a half and rode my horse. It was a lovely day for it, and I am so happy with how far my mare and I have come since I got her off the track. She's a fiery little thing, but she wants to please very much.
I haven't worked on my writing at all since I last posted. I was really emotionally tapped out. I did start reading JK Rowling's mystery "The Cuckoo's Calling" where she's writing as Robert Galbraith. I'm enjoying it, and her characterization is sharp, but so far I find that it's lacking the punch that her Harry Potter books have.
Time to focus again!

Stranger Things at the Mill
There are some sad and unusual goings-on at my office. When we pulled up to the gate this morning, an abandoned black sedan was blocking the entrance, and there were police cars all over our office.
The car was unlocked, and inside the owner had left her purse, ID badge, and wallet containing her license, cash, etc. The ID badge had been draped over the back of the headrest. As of now, there is still no sign of her.
We work in a historic, refurbished mill nestled in a valley near a very tall bridge. I've worked for this company for fifteen years, and we've had two jumpers in that time. I hope that's not what is happening here.
All of my very best vibes go out to this woman.

All plot flows from your character. You leave readers deeply unsatisfied when your believable MC does something stupid or out-of-character. Cathy Yardley uses the example of the super spy who opens the door without checking the peephole and so gets kidnapped or hurt.
Her recommended steps to deliver a fully-fleshed character:
- Start with a sketch: a brief blurb describing them physically. Find photos on Pinterest if it would be helpful.
- Write an exploratory biography. What sort of life experiences do they have? Childhood? Give them a backstory with an eye toward GMC – goal, motivation, conflict.
- Write out an interview with the character. This helps to find the character's voice.
Think weaknesses as well as strengths.
What I'm reading now:
Cathy Yardley's Rock Your Plot
Rachel Aaron's 2,000 to 10,000. Side note: If you are a fantasy reader, her Heartstriker books and her DFZ books are awesome. Just finished the second DFZ book, and had this convo with my husband:
Husband: What are you reading?
Lily: Fantasy book. Takes place in a future Detroit. There are dragons and stuff, but the MCs are just normal people who clean out hoarder apartments.
Husband: That is a weird, perfect intersection of your niche interests.
Lily: Yeah, Facebook recommended it to me. It knows me better than anyone.
Solid gold, baby
Average morning conversation:
Lily: **Smooshes kitty face** Could this cat be any more precious?
Husband: Actually, yes.
Lily: What!?
Husband: **turns kitty over and runs a finger down her belly** For example, she could be stuffed with gold.
Inspiration through Perspiration
One of my ideas that I've been flirting with for a long time is based on a Nanowrimo I did back in 2008. It had a marathon-long opening, going through the MC's childhood and first meeting with her love interest. The tone felt like a warm-mushy John Cougar Mellencamp song with magic thrown in, and it was pretty awful with a few nice bits.
That's the idea I wanted to refine and work on using the plotting tips from Rock Your Plot, and this magical combination of dedicated time and systems-building and exercise has made me feel so prepared.
I was running this morning, and I realized that one of the main problems (other than, you know, the lack of any plot whatsoever) was that the MC was really well-defined while every other character was a cardboard cut out. They sprang into life because of little scenarios I'd envisioned the protagonist experiencing. I was using them as paper dolls to propel my MC forward. As I hatefully plonked one foot in front of the other, the backstory of the love interest as well as one of the primary conflicts unfolded. It was magic.
It's funny. I do so much editing for other people, and these things are incredibly obvious when you're criticizing someone else's baby. How could I have missed it in my own ugly baby?
Important note for future knowings:
It is better to be caught eating a cupcake neatly than it is to be caught choking on the cupcake you wolfed in order to avoid being caught eating it.
Blargh, I have to go to a rich old dude meeting in VT with my boss this week. Everyone will be politely snookered, wearing khaki shorts with a tucked-in polo, and complaining about the income tax issues they have from owning residences in multiple states. Every time I have to talk to someone named Geoff or Bitsy, I die a little inside.
What I'm reading now:
I'm on ch. 11 of Rock Your Plot. Very quick, easy read. Highly recommended. It's nothing original, but it's clearly the distillation of the best tips the author has gleaned after reading a thousand books on writing.
What I'm reading next:
2,000 to 10,000 by Rachel Aaron.

The Swiss Banker
Woman talk.
She shared her kids.
The greatest sharing a woman can give to another woman is to share her kids.
We spent the day on the beach, swam in the sea and played with some rackets and a little yellow ball.
So simple.
On the way home as I was getting off the train. I met a short, petite 60 year old Asian woman with a limp who spoke English. She worked for a banker and had travelled from Switzerland to Milan to Grosseto to catch a train to Capalbio.
She was lost.
I carried her bag for her and helped her find the right train.
As we were trying to find the right train, her boss called her on her cell phone. The woman had been travelling for over 24 hours.
She was green.
I heard her speaking to her boss and the only words she repeatedly uttered were, "Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir."
She had to wait another two hours for the right train. Capalbio is like 30 minutes from Grosseto.
She told me a car would come to the station at Capalbio to pick her up.
I left her sitting on a bench.
I spent a relaxing day on the beach.
She spent 24 hours travelling to reach a place to work for an asshole.
I hope she was paid well.

I've been a fan of Front Rank Miniature's Napoleonic line of miniatures in 28mm for quite awhile now. The castings are meticulous with little flash and the figures themselves are fun to paint. Front Rank is available in the United States through Triangle Miniatures at http://www.triangleminiatures.com/index.html.
Front Rank figures are compatible in size with Wargames Foundry and Perry Miniatures; in fact, I have all three manufacturers in my miniature Napoleonic armies. One of the bonuses in using Front Rank miniatures is the ability to purchase individual figures allowing you to design your units and not end up with extras.
Since I decided to devote more time to finishing my armies for the Empire of France and their opponents in the Peninsular War, those little marching and riding figures need have a general or two to lead them in battle. I purchased Front Rank's the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Uxbridge, mounted senior officer with bicorne, mounted Highland officer and General Stapleton Cotton.
The figure for Cotton is cast as one piece, rider and horse are one.
Even though this is a very detailed figure of Cotton in the uniform of General officer of Hussars, I found it easy to paint because of the excellent sculpting of the detail (does that make sense?).
Here's how I painted him and all paints are GW; as usual I primed the figure with flat black:
1. Skin. Base coat of Dark Flesh followed by Dwarf Flesh. Highlights with Elf Flesh.
2. Busby (the big furry hat). Base coat of Scorched Brown and then a wet brush of Bestial Brown followed by a dry brush of Snakebite Leather. To finish a light dry brush of Desert Yellow.
3. Busby bag and Sabretache. Base coat of Scab Red and then covered with Blood Red. Highlighted with Red Wash.
4. Pelisse (the Hungarian style jacket over his shoulder), coveralls and blue facings. Base coat of Royal Blue and then Blue Wash watered down. I then highlighted again with Royal Blue.
5. Dolman (the jacket). Same as Busby bag above.
6. Gold Braid and chin scales. Shining Gold highlighted with Mithral silver. The saber and scabbard were painted Mithral silver.
7. The Horse. I tried a new technique this time. I painted the horse completely with Bestial Brown and once it dried, I covered it with Brown Wash. I must say I was pleased with the result. The tail and main were painted Black and then dry brushed with Codex Gray. The tack was also painted black and ever so lightly dry brushed with Codex Gray.
8. Shabraque (the dead animal on the horse - fancy name for horse blanket). Base coat of Bestial Brown and then a dry brush of Snakebite leather with Desert Yellow highlights.

Berkshire set for a wintry weekend
Temperatures will plummet 5C below normal for the time of year
Temperatures will plummet 5C lower than average for this time of year. Credit: getreading
By Brett Gibbons
Temperatures will dip sharply with Arctic air taking a hold across the country and leading to a wintry weekend ahead.
It will turn much colder with sleet or snow showers possible on higher ground in northern Scotland, the north of England, north Wales and Northern Ireland.
But snow is unlikely for Berkshire, despite a risk of a wintry mix at lower levels as temperatures dip well below normal.
Bracknell, Wokingham and Reading, Berkshire look set to shiver as temperatures drop to a minimum of 1C over the weekend.
It will feel noticeably colder by the weekend, with frosty starts and even icy patches in some places.
Changes will start to be felt late on Thursday and into Friday when a band of rain slips south with colder air following behind with sleet mixed into any showers.
Temperatures will fall well below normal by Saturday. Credit: The Weather Channel
The mercury will plummet up to 5C below normal for the time of year and a north-easterly wind will make it seems even chillier.
Temperatures will struggle to reach double figures in Reading on Saturday, October 27 with highs of just 8C and lows of 3C, although it will be mostly sunny throughout the day.
Cloud cover means it will be slightly warmer on Sunday, October 28 with temperatures reaching highs of 10C but overnight they will plummet to just 1C, leading to a chilly start on Monday morning.
A spokeswoman for The Weather Channel said temperatures would fall to well below-normal with snow at higher altitudes, and the risk of a wintry mix at lower levels.
However, by Wednesday next week, deepening low pressure over the Atlantic is expected to introduce a warmer southerly wind in the west and a gradual return to normal temperatures.

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten TV Shows I Obsess(ed) Over
I love a good Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. This week is actually not about books, but about television shows. So, I'm going to talk about the top ten television shows I obsess(ed) over.
I was definitely more of a season three and on lover. Season six is probably my favorite because of Chris because Drew Fuller is precious.
Worst. Ending. Ever.
Look at these precious babes.
I'm currently in the middle of a rewatch. It was accidental. Kind of.
Barry! You're the cutest! I love this show.
I just finished my rewatch of this. Season five better deliver Olicity or heads will roll.
Two Words: Red Leather.
I've watched SPN since it's inception and will probably go down with this ship. All the ships. I am the captain of them.
Yeah, I got sucked in. Did you?
Drop what you're doing and go binge.

Crocuses or Croci, are a genus in the iris family. While they were originally documented on the island of Crete, they were introduced to central Europe in the mid 1500's and are now native to woodlands in many parts of the world. They have precious small bulbs that are called corns.
Crocus sativus is the type of crocus that gives us the magic of saffron. This precious spice was originally used to dye the garments of women of a very high status and priestesses in Crete. These flowers were considered sacred and associated with Eos or Arora in classsical antiquity. During the middle ages, croci were symbols of the trinity.
In my mother's kitchen saffron was the most cherished spice, it was used to make paella, a traditional Spanish seafood dish. It was also used for seasoning seafood soups.
I have have recently begun working with saffron in my perfumes, it is a rich deep orange treasure that gives perfumes a very earthy and unique scent. It is very potent so only a small amount is needed as a top note. The scent is warm, musky, aromatic and spicy, the oil is made from the dried stigmata.
In Chinese herbal medicine, this herb is known as Fan Hong Hua, it is prescribed in formulas for invigorating blood and removing stagnation. It is such a precious remedy because it takes 75,000 flowers to make one pound of saffron!
According to Greek mythology, there are various myths around the legend of Krokus. One such myth is that after his love affair with Smilax, he was turned into a plant by the Gods!
These pictures were taken this week. These beautiful flowers are symbols of resurrection, cheerfulness, and preciousness. The petals are so delicate and beautiful. Having the opportunity to photograph them is such a treat. They are always the welcoming flowers of Spring.

 18.104.22.168 http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php?title=Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide&diff=3437 Ubuntu Edgy Installation Guide 2008-12-17T01:13:14Z
22.214.171.124: FIELD_OTHER

In Ubuntu Edgy you can choose between two methods of installing the proprietary ATI driver. If you are new to linux you should use the first method as it is a lot easier than the second one and will work well in most cases. The second method describes how to install the very latest driver version, but requires some additional work and knowledge.

 FIELD_MESSAGE_catrocrol

 == Method 2: Generating/Installing Ubuntu packages for the new 8.30.3 drivers in Ubuntu Edgy Manually ==

 The new fglrx driver supports Radeon '''9'''500+ (older cards will not work!) and the X-series cards up to X1900.

 === Disable Composite Extension ===

 In Ubuntu Edgy the Composite extension is enabled by default, however, ''fglrx'' does not yet support Composite with DRI. In order to to disable Composite you have to edit the ''xorg.conf'' file:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

 and add these lines at the end of the file:
 {{Box File|/etc/X11/xorg.conf|

Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "Disable"
 EndSection

 }}

 === Blacklist old fglrx module from linux-restricted-modules ===

 As ubuntu's ''linux-restricted-modules'' package includes the fglrx module from an old driver version (8.28.8), we have to blacklist this module to make sure the new kernel module which is needed by the new driver will be used instead.

sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

 Edit ''DISABLED_MODULES'' to include fglrx
 {{Box File|/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common|

DISABLED_MODULES="fglrx"

 }}

 === Installing the new driver ===

 Download the ATI driver installer: [http://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run] (this installer is for 32bit '''and''' 64bit systems)

 Change to the download directory. Make sure that you have the ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' repositories enabled in ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' before doing these steps.

 ''Install necessary tools:''

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential
 sudo apt-get install fakeroot dh-make debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-$(uname -r)

 ''Create .deb packages:''

 sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh
 bash ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/edgy
 sudo ln -sf dash /bin/sh

 ''Install .deb packages:''

 sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.30.3-1*.deb
 sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.30.3-1*.deb
 sudo dpkg -i fglrx-control_8.30.3-1*.deb

 ''Remove any old fglrx debs from /usr/src/:''

 sudo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.deb

 ''Compile the kernel module:''

 sudo module-assistant prepare
 sudo module-assistant update
 sudo module-assistant build fglrx
 sudo module-assistant install fglrx
 sudo depmod -a

 '''IMPORTANT''': You have to recompile the kernel module after each kernel update!

 ''Update the xorg.conf file:''

 sudo aticonfig --initial
 sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

 '''Note:'''
 You could also edit your ''/usr/X11/xorg.conf'' file to change your driver to '''fglrx''' then run:

 sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

 This way your ''xorg.conf'' file will stay clean.

 ''Now Reboot:''

 sudo shutdown -r now

 === Confirm that it worked ===

 $ fglrxinfo
 display: :0.0 screen: 0
 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
 OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9700 Generic
 OpenGL version string: 2.0.6119 (8.30.3)

 $ glxinfo | grep render
 direct rendering: Yes

 If your direct rendering is disabled, you may have to symlink the dri folder:

 sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dri /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/

 === Troubleshooting for Method 2===

 ==== xorg.conf ====

 The '''aticonfig --initial''' command will not update the xorg.conf file if it already has a "fglrx" Device section.
 However, you may force aticonfig to generate default Monitor, Device, and Screen sections with the following command:

 sudo aticonfig --force --initial

 === The module compiles, but doesn't work ===
 For some reason fglrx may need gcc-4.0 to compile, if you experience some message related to gcc version in dmesg, try this:

 First we'll install it

 sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0

 and link it to gcc.

 sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc

 After doing the module-assistant steps, you may want to return gcc to 4.1 by default:

 sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc

 == Troubleshooting for both Methods ==

 === General ===

 The output of '''dmesg | grep fglrx''' and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are most useful when looking for errors.

 === DRI does not work although the fglrx module is loaded ===

 If fglrxinfo shows:

 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org

 Make sure the Composite extension is disabled, add this to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

 Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "Disable"
 EndSection

 This should also resolve the corrupted mouse cursor problem in dual-head mode.

 === Module isn't loaded ===
 If the fglrx module isn't loaded try to add ''fglrx'' to /etc/modules on a new line. See also [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/63912 bug 63912].

 {{Box File|/etc/modules|

 # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
 #
 # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
 # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

 fglrx

 }}

 === 2D speed ===

 If you suffer from slow 2D speed it might help to set
 Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
 in the fglrx device section of ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf''

 === Is the rebooting really necessary? ===

 No.

 However, rebooting is the easiest method to ensure that the kernel module(s) from the old driver are unloaded and the fglrx module is loaded instead. If you don't want to reboot for some reason, you may manually shut down Xorg, unload any old "drm", "radeon" or "fglrx" modules and then start Xorg again.

 Note: if ''modprobe fglrx'' can't find the ''fglrx'' module, try rebuilding your kernel module dependency:

 sudo depmod -a

 === Revert to Xorg driver ===

 If (for any reason) the fglrx install fails, you can revert to the Xorg driver by executing

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

 and selecting the "ati" driver, or simply restoring the previous /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, if you made a backup.

 You also need to remove the xorg-driver-fglrx or your manually installed drivers to get the 3D acceleration back, since it is provided by file /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 which belongs to libgl1-mesa package and which is moved to backup and replaced at the installation of xorg-driver-fglrx (or the manually built) package. In case the removal of the fglrx drivers fails to restore the file from libgl1-mesa, you have to reinstall the package by running:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa

==X Server Related Issues==

 === No high-resolution video modes available ===
 * Versions of the fglrx driver following 7.12 had problems with video resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024. The modes of the xorg.conf are simply ignored, and the server starts up e.g. with a resolution 1280 x 1024 (even if this resolution is not defined in xorg.conf). This is particularly a problem on LCD displays.
 * [http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160 This bug] documents the problem; it is '''fixed''' since driver version 8.2

 === No XVideo support on 690G integrated graphic chipset ===
 *Upgrade your BIOS if you get random flicker lines and black screen with a 690G chip.
 *Motherboard using the 690G IGP chipset don't have XVideo support. When you execute the "xvinfo" command you get "no adaptors present". This is the case by using the 8.39.4 FGLRX driver and whenever the "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" command or the "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=opengl" was used. ATI seem to know this as there list TVtime as an application unable to run on a 690G chip.
 * XVideo works with 8-1 release (version 8.45.4). You need to change the defaults in /etc/ati/amdpcsdb (created by amdcccle, loaded by X on start, and saved on exit). With X shutdown, set VideoOverlay=Son, OpenGLOverlay=Soff, and Textured2D=STrue. (Don't use aticonfig or xorg.conf to set these. At this time, aticonfig and amdccle don't change these settings, and /etc/ati/amdpcsdb seems to override xorg.conf) (Verified on Asus M2A-VM with BIOS 1501)
 * With 8-3 release (8.47.1), to get XVideo working I added ''Option "TexturedVideo" "true"'' to the xorg.conf file. It wasn't necessary to edit the /etc/ati/amdpcsdb file as described in the paragraph above; the open GL overlay can be active and it will still work.

 === System lockup on logout or switch to virtual consoles ===

 If your system locks up after you logout or when you try to switch to a virtual console, this might be an instance of [http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330 this bug]. It is likely that the problem only occurs for users with an '''Xorg version of at least 7.0'''. Probably it only affects users of '''DVI'''.

 There is a workaround: Use a standard D-Sub VGA connector instead of the DVI connector.

 This workaround was posted as a comment to another related bug: see [http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239#c48 here].
 ---------
 Unfortunately "D-sub" users (like me) have the same problem.

 === BigDesktop (Dual screen) doesn't work after GDM login screen ===

 This can occur on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn & Gutsy.

 System > Prefrences > Screen Resolution

 Select the resolution that is a combination of both screen resolutions wide and your height.

 If X crashes during login, go to a virtual console using Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in, sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and comment out the line which looks like the following:
 {{Box File|/etc/X11/xorg.conf|

 Option "DesktopSetup" "something"

 }}

 FIELD_MESSAGE_boceltaca

 === Graphical Anomalies ===

 This was experienced with an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512mb:

 After following instructions for both Method 1 and Method 2, whenever the Composite Extension is disabled, the display would be almost unusable, but the fglrxinfo command would display the correct information. If the Composite Extension is re-enabled the display would be usable, but fglrxinfo would report using mesa drivers.

 To resolve the problem it maybe needed to lower the AGP Aperture setting in my BIOS to 128mb (or lower worked too). The AGP Aperture was initially set to 256mb. After setting the AGP Aperture to 128mb, everything worked perfectly; the Composite Extension is disabled, fglrxinfo reports the correct drivers, and direct rendering is enabled. Some systems may require setting the AGP Aperture to the highest setting (256mb or 512mb).

 There's been a bug report regarding [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/150627 anomalies in Firefox] as well.

 === OpenGL framebuffer Corruption ===

 This problem has been experienced on Thinkpads (T60p) with an ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250 running driver versions 7.12, 8.01 and 8.02. Whenever any OpenGL application is rendered, the rendered output appears "scrambled" and unreadable. This problem is not very well documented and both glxgears and fgl_glxgears display this anomaly when testing.

 When Anti-Aliasing is forced, the problem resides.

 A solution (tested with 8.02 on Ubuntu Gutsy) to this problem is to open the ATI/AMD Catalyst Control Center and expand the item labeled '3D' in the options tree on the left-hand side of the window. From there, select "Anti-Aliasing" and check the box which reads: "Override application setting". Apply the settings and close the control center.

 For an example of this anomaly, please see [http://i31.tinypic.com/244z9z8.png this image]

 This solution not work on acer laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT.
 kepfeltoltes.hu/view/080302/atisux_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

 === Blank Screen with Xorg 1.3.0 ===
 If you happen to get a blank screen on X startup and you find lines similar to those in your Xorg.log:
 {{Box File|/var/log/Xorg.log|
 <nowiki>
 2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so(swlDalHelperValidateModeFromDAL 0x549) [...]
 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so [...]
 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so(atiddxPreInit 0x8b3) [...]
 </nowiki>
 }}

 Then you're probably using the ati-drivers with Xorg-1.3.0. If that's the case the only solution (known to me) is to use a version < 1.3.0.

 Edit: I got the same problem after using the --add-pairmode argument of aticonfig (using Xorg 1.3.0). My ati mobility x300 seemes to try
 sending the monitor signal to the vga output (even if no monitor is connected to it). After pressing [Fn]+[F8(CRT/LCD)] the monitor
 signal sometimes returnes to the internal laptop monitor.
 By switching to a console or shutting down the X-server, the card switches back to vga...

 My solution: overwriting the file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb with /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default (sudo cp /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default /etc/ati/amdpcsdb)
 and restore the xorg.conf (since Xorg replaces /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a failsafe config file). Then reboot the system: fglrx should now
 work fine again with Xorg-1.3.0 .

 === Radeon GPU fan is very loud / constantly works ===
 :See [http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499 bug 499] for additional information.
 It seems fglrx has a bug with all X800/X850 cards causing them to heat up excessively
 even when not in 3D mode. This behaviour will cause the cards' fans to function on full
 blast continuously. There is no known fix as of driver 8.31.05 or previous. Open source
 "radeon" driver does not exhibit this problem.

 My Ati 1650GT has the same problem.It was normal when I enter ubuntu for 1 or 2minutes,and than ,the fan became crazy..No doubt it's because the temp~

 It happens too with Radeon X1800 GTO and Radeon X1900 GT.

 Possible solution (at least using a Mobility Radeon X1600):

aticonfig --set-powerstate=1

 To find out which powerstates your Radeon supports try:

aticonfig --lsp

 === System freezes after logout with GDM, KDM or XDM<ref>http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239 Going back to gdm/kdm/xdm hardlocks after running X session</ref> ===

sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

 {{Box File|/etc/gdm/gdm.conf|
 <nowiki>AlwaysRestartServer=true</nowiki>
 }}

 If you use KDM, which is the default Login Manager on Kubuntu, add to the [X-:*-Core] section the following

sudo kate /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc

 {{Box File|/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc|
 <nowiki>TerminateServer=true</nowiki>
 }}

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config

 {{Box File|/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config|
 <nowiki>DisplayManager*terminateServer: true</nowiki>
 }}

 === System freezes at startup of Fedora 7 after installing the driver ===

 Turn off the Redhat Graphical boot from grub config:

 Edit the grub config file located at /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove the 'rhgb' from the kernel line in order to disable the Redhat Graphical boot.

 === System lockup on logout with catalyst 8.01 <ref>http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7448&page=5 System lockup on logout with catalyst 8.01</ref>===
 To solve this issue you need to disable atieventsd. On ubuntu you can run:

 sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f atieventsd remove

 === Intermittent Freezes/Lockups due to AGPv3 running at 8x ===
 Try forcing X to set AGP Speed to 4x
 {{Box File|/etc/X11/xorg.conf|

 Option "AGPv3Mask" "0x00000002"

 }}
 ((Would be nice to put down WHERE to change this, not just to change this. The same applies to just about every hint shown above.))

 + You add it to the "Device" section for your graphics card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Installing and using fglrx drivers on Arch Linux should be a piece of cake, as the distro provides pre-built packages in its official repos, accessible through the pacman package manager.

 The installation instructions I've taken straight from Arch's own wiki page, linked below in the External Resources section.

 ==Installation==

 === Stock Kernels ===

 FIELD_MESSAGE_lic4tbos

 ====Notes====

 * These packages contain '''only''' the kernel module, and depend on the catalyst-utils package. The catalyst-utils package is kernel-independent and provides the libraries and utilities for Xorg, including ATI's own libGL.so.
 * After installing the package, you'll need to either source /etc/profile or log out, then back in to set up the environment properly.
 * If you run both kernel26 and kernel26beyond then install both catalyst module packages. They won't conflict with one another.

 === Custom Kernels ===

 To install catalyst for a custom kernel, you'll need to build your own catalyst-$kernel package, containing the kernel module compiled specifically for your kernel.

 If you are at all uncomfortable or inexperienced making packages, read up Arch's [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS ABS] wiki page first so things go smoothly.

 ==== Obtaining PKGBUILD ====
 Obtain the PKGBUILD and catalyst.install files from CVS or ABS. Either:

 * Visit http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?id=10416 and click "View CVS Entries" to find them, or
 * Run abs as root and locate the files in /var/abs/extra/modules/catalyst.

 ==== Editing the PKGBUILD and building ====
 Three changes need to be made here:

 '''First''', change
 pkgname=catalyst
 to
 pkgname=catalyst-KERNEL_NAME
 where KERNEL_NAME is whatever you want (custom, mm, themostawesomekernelever)

 '''Second''', remove kernel26 from the dependencies list.

 '''Third''', change
 _kernver=2.6.15-ARCH
 to
 _kernver=`uname -r`
 (or directly insert the output of uname -r '''when running your custom kernel''' there)

 Finally, build and install the package. (makepkg -i or makepkg followed by pacman -A pkgname.pkg.tar.gz)

 ==== Notes ====

 * No changes need to be made to the catalyst-utils package, which is completely kernel-independent. '''All''' you need to do is compile a kernel module.
 * To build and run the catalyst kernel module with 2.6.16 kernels, patches are needed! Check out the cvs entries for catalyst in testing for the required patch.

Adventures of Annie: My First Time @ Peaks Island Reggae Sunday Was Insane!
What was the last adventure you went on? Have you ever gone to Reggae Sunday on Peaks?
My GF and I made plans last week to go to Peaks Island for Reggae Sunday. I have lived in Maine for 14 years and I couldn't believe I was just now doing this. And, it is so simple to do. Reggae Sunday has been a staple at Jones Landing on Peaks for forever. It's from 11a-5p and a Reggae band plays all day long. Beer and cocktails are flowing; I recommend the Rum Bucket. There is food thanks to a food truck outback that is delicious too. THIS is a summer event you must find time to do.
So, us ladies caught the 1:10p boat to Peaks this past Sunday and arrived in short order. Tickets for the Casco Bay Lines ferry are just over $7 and it gives you a round trip. We grabbed a quick lunch at wicked cute restaurant called the Peaks Island House Restaurant and we were ready to dance. It is $5 to get into the reggae party and SO worth it! Good people, good drinks, the band was awesome and then I get a big surprise! The guy I have been seeing wasn't able to come with us, but he changed his mind. He called me and said he was on the next ferry out. I was beyond happy he joined us and we had a blast. He's on his way to being a keeper!
I highly recommend you make the trip to Peaks Island for a Reggae Sunday for fun in the summer sun! Good vibes!
We were entertained as well when a game of limbo started on the dance floor. Check out the winner's ridiculous limbo skills. It is not normal to bend that way?!

"Hashem said to Shmuel: 'I am going to do in Yisrael such a thing that both ears of anyone who hears about it will tingle.'" I Samuel 3:11 (The Israel Bible™)
Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa has condemned the Arab world's boycott of Israel, saying its citizens are free to visit the Jewish state, in a declaration of worldwide religious tolerance facilitated by the Los-Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Although the Persian Gulf nation has no diplomatic relations with Israel, the king's announcement was unveiled last week at the center's interfaith event in California.
Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, who head the center, said the Bahraini king issued the declaration during their visit to the country's capital city of Manama earlier this year.
"The most exciting part of the visit was listening to His Majesty outline his vision for a new Middle East — one solidly based on the principles of inclusion and human dignity that rejects extremism," Hier said.
[wpipa id="94167″]
"May the day come soon when His Majesty's plane lands at Ben-Gurion Airport, and when the anthems played here tonight will be heard around the world ushering in that long-awaited era of lasting peace and tranquility," he added.
At the event, several guests formally signed the Bahrain Declaration, including the king's son, Prince Nasser bin Hamad al Khalifa.
The prince was accompanied by a 40-person delegation that also joined him during a visit to the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance built by the Wiesenthal Center.

God said:
Take a deep breath. You do not need to be in the thrall of upset. It is not so important that you are right or wrong. It is important that you keep your balance. The world is fraught with distress. You do not have to be.
Even when your rights are being infringed upon, you can remove yourself from aggravation. Even if you are handcuffed, and you are innocent, you can be handcuffed and let the aggravation go. You have to, beloveds. It may seem to you that you are at the mercy of the world, yet it is you who has to be merciful to yourself. You may be bound hand and foot, yet you do not have to tie yourself up in knots. Let your emotional life be under your jurisdiction.
The world can toss you around. That does not mean that you yourself have to be in league with upset.
Sure, you may be tossed around by the waves of life, yet you can maintain steadiness within yourself. You have to, or you are at the whim of life, blown about by the winds.
Of course, you want the world to be merciful to you. Meanwhile, count on yourself, beloveds. Meanwhile, count on your own mercy. Meanwhile is right now. Right now is your call.
You do have say over how you interact with life.
If you don't like frustration, then do not let frustrating events frustrate you. You can lean in the direction of being unbound. You can admit the possibility. If life has denied you in some way, makes you run through hoops, closes doors in your face or whatever, you, beloved, are a soul, and souls do not have to take orders from the world at large. You are more than a bouncing ball. You have steadiness within you. You do not have to take on all the colors of your environment. You are not exclusively a reactor.
You can be cool under the sun.
You do not have to be a warrior or a boxer in life. You do not have to put your dukes up because life seems to invite you to fight. Even in confinement, you have choices.
You are not made of hard metal. You are not a robot who is programmed. You have the capacity to rebound from every situation. Regardless of anything, you can come shining through. You are a human being, and you have inner resources. You are bendable. You can bend to your will and not necessarily someone else's.
What you make of your situation is what you make of it. You are the decider of defeat. You are the decider of strength. You have the capacity to interpret yourself to yourself and to the world. I am not speaking of a brave front. I am speaking of the intelligence and power that are yours.
That you can overcome may have many meanings. Fighting isn't your only prerogative. Nor is succumbing. You may be in the situation you are in, whatever it may be, yet you are spirit, and spirit is not confined to the world of walls or chains or anything. Just as when you go into a department store, looking for a shirt, you have a selection to choose from. As a human being made of spirit, you have choices available to you. You have the opportunity to be what you want to be. How do you want to conduct yourself? What do you want to be?
I do not speak of a performance to show the world. I am speaking of your heart which can be what you want it to be. You can put up your dukes, or you can present the palms of your hands. Of course, you can rise above situations and roles you are cast in. You can go beyond boundaries. Of course, you can surprise yourself.

When I went to high school, I served on the stage crew for our high school theater productions. We made the props, raised and lowered the lights and did all the support work for the actors and actresses.
Scroll down to learn about 3 Ongoing Fights in Silicon Valley Involving Google, Yahoo and Uber.
Wizard of Oz in Cincinnati, OH
One of our productions was the classic - Wizard of Oz.
The theater was set in Kansas. We all knew where Kansas was.
Actors and members of the crew had names like Greg, Bob, Jim, Jane, Sue, Nancy, Gary, Mike, Kathy and Bill. They were almost all one syllable long.
The other day I went to an ongoing high school theatrical production.
One of the boys in the church where I preach regularly had a key part.
The Little Mermaid in Cupertino, CA
The production is a version of a classic - The Little Mermaid.
This one is titled Once an Island.
It is set in Haiti. When I was in high school I am pretty sure we didn't know where Haiti was.
The actors and members of the crew have names like Ilanis, Ambita, Sohan, Yatziri, Didem, Jeevika, Kuki, Kayshav, Pallavi. None of them are one syllable. Some have 3.
I am a pretty good reader. I am old enough to have learned phonetics when I was in grade school. But I don't have 100% confidence I could get the pronunciation of all those names right the first time.
The high school play I attended last Friday is in Cupertino, home to Apple.
Cupertino and Cincinnati both start with the letter C. They are both 4 syllables long. After that the similarities stop.
Cincinnati is Not Cupertino is Not Cincinnati
We are pleased with diversity in this area. Cincinnati's idea of diversity is everybody going to the mall and eating Panda Express.
We are also pleased to be a tolerant bunch in this area. But toleration means I have to accept others and their beliefs. It doesn't always mean they have to accept mine.
I am a considered a bigot if I share my Cincinnati Bible Belt upbringing in the Valley.
Mark Twain said that when the world ends, he wants to be in Cincinnati when it happens.

Game On: APN Outdoor Celebrates The Invictus Games
With the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 less than a week away, APN Outdoor has unveiled the next phase of its marketing campaign to promote the Games.
APN Outdoor has launched digital billboards in each state displaying a daily countdown to the start of the Invictus Games this Saturday, plus billboards promoting ticket sales and television coverage of the Games on the ABC.
At the same time, APN Outdoor and Sydney Airport have joined forces to use key internal digital sites at the airport terminals this week to run a video welcoming Invictus Games competitors to Sydney.
APN is the official outdoor media partner of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018. Running from 20 October to 27 October, the Games will see 500 wounded, injured and ill defence personnel from 18 nations taking part in 11 medal sports.
APN Outdoor chief executive officer and managing director, James Warburton, said: "We have been supporting the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 since 2016, running several campaigns across our national digital billboard portfolio, airport offering, XtrackTV network and key transit formats.
"With the start of the Games now less than a week away, we are delighted to once again use the reach and power of the out-of-home medium – and the APN Outdoor network – to promote the Games and welcome these amazing competitors to Sydney.
"We are very proud of our association with the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 and wish everyone involved all the very best," he said.
Invictus Games Sydney 2018 CEO Patrick Kidd said he was grateful for the APN's support.
"While held in Sydney, these are Australia's Games and Australia's opportunity to put on an international show of support for our defence community," Kidd said.
"It is wonderful to have the support of APN Outdoor to help us spread the world on the healing power of sport all around the nation."
Sydney Airport CEO Geoff Culbert said the airport was honoured to welcome the exceptional athletes of the Invictus Games to Australia.
"As Australia's gateway, we're very proud to play such a significant role in shaping the athletes' first impression of Australia – delivering a warm welcome to Sydney to the teams, their families and friends," he said.
"Our volunteers, transport and operations teams will be on hand to support the athletes as they make their way through the airport, while a traditional Welcome to Country and other arrival celebrations will herald in the start of their Australian visit."

Apocalypse Fatigue: Losing the Public on Climate Change
Last month, the Pew Research Center released its latest poll of public attitudes on global warming. On its face, the news was not good: Belief that global warming is occurring had declined from 71 percent in April of 2008 to 56 percent in October - an astonishing drop in just 18 months. The belief that global warming is human-caused declined from 47 percent to 36 percent.

We present a new approach for combining holographic optical tweezers with confocal Raman spectroscopy. Multiple laser foci, generated using a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator, are individually used for both optical trapping and excitation of spontaneous Raman spectroscopy from trapped objects. Raman scattering from each laser focus is spatially filtered using reflective apertures on a digital micro-mirror device, which can be reconfigured with flexible patterns at video rate. We discuss operation of the instrument, and performance and viability considerations for biological measurements. We then demonstrate the capability of the instrument for fast, flexible, and interactive manipulation with molecular measurement of interacting live cell systems.

Abstract: Neuroinflammation is a two-edged sword in Alzheimer's disease (AD). A certain degree of neuroinflammation is instrumental in the clearance of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides by activated microglia, although a sustained neuroinflammation might accelerate Aβ deposition, thus fostering the neurodegenerative process and functional decline in AD. There is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that the innate immune system via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) finely orchestrates the highly regulated inflammatory cascade that takes place in AD pathology. Herein we critically review pre-clinical (in vitro and in vivo approaches) and clinical studies showing that monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), a partial TLR4 agonist, may have beneficial effect on AD physiopathology. The in vivo data elegantly showed that MPL enhanced Aβ plaque phagocytosis thus decreasing the number and the size of Aβ deposits and soluble Aβ in brain from APPswe/PS1 mice. Furthermore, MPL also improved their cognition. The mechanism underlying this MPL effect was proposed to be microglial activation by recruiting TLR4. Additionally, it was demonstrated that MPL increased the Aβ antibody titer and showed a safe profile in mice and primates, when used as a vaccine adjuvant. Clinical studies using MPL as an adjuvant in Aβ immunotherapy are currently ongoing. Overall, we argue that the TLR4 partial agonist MPL is a potentially safe and effective new pharmacological tool in AD.
