Facebook is renowned for rolling out new platform changes at a moment's notice, but if early buzz is to be believed, this Thursday's F8 developer conference will offer something a little bit special.
Major changes are expected that could fundamentally reshape the way content is found and shared on the world's largest social network.
Will it be the dawn of a new social era, or is Facebook about to follow Myspace into the pit of abandoned platforms?
According to early press announcements, Mark Zuckerberg is about to unveil several major changes to Facebook, loosely tied together under a "read, watch & listen" banner.
Changes that have leaked out so far all focus on a desire to make personalised content more prominent in user's news feeds.
New buttons showing what your network is reading, watching or listening to will be introduced, while a streaming "Ticker" will enable real-time music and video to be viewed within Facebook, utilising Spotify, Vevo video and other external media platforms.
Hopefully this means an end to those messy YouTube boxes being posted on your wall, as a separate column will display information about the most popular movie among your friends, or music they are listening to in realtime.
In addition, developers will have more freedom to personalise social plugins.
"Like" not good enough for you? How about changing it to "Need" "or "Love" (or "Get down on it" for that matter)?
This should help to optimise Facebook's occasionally ill-fitting buttons and lightbox plugins to fit more conveniently on external pages.
Combined, these changes have the potential to massively increase Facebook's already impressive pulling power for external sites, and bring the company's vision of a completely 'Social Web' closer to fruition.
Potential problems:
As usual with Facebook it isn't all plain sailing.
One of the key points of the new sharing function will be automation, which in terms raises privacy concerns. Will users really accept a system that auto-shares ANY content they view on a page with a plugin?
Security, not to mention potential embarrassment as a user's RedTube history unrolls in front of their entire family could be major turn-offs (no pun intended).
While the recent developments like "Lists" and "Subscribe" buttons have improved sharing security, Facebook's interface is still clunky and often confusing, as the company balances user confidence against its ability to target ads and drive revenue.
In addition, Facebook has long touted its power as a traffic referrer (with impressive stats to back this up, particularly for publishers), but experience disruption has often been cited as a major cause of abandonment for companies dabbling in F-Commerce.
This could further discourage users from leaving the walled garden for the wider web.
This functionality may also raise data privacy concerns for advertisers
As Facebook plugins gather referral data to target ads more effectively, there's a real danger the company could repeat its 'Beacon' debacle, which ultimately resulted in several lawsuits being filed.
Finally, there's a cause of concern for the company itself. While Facebook may just be too big to fail, it could still stand to learn a substantial lesson from poor, depleted MySpace.
While Myspace's demise had several contributing factors, not least mismanagement under NewsCorp's leadership, Facebook's rush to adapt and compete with Twitter, Google+ and more does echo some of the mistakes MySpace made.
Overly customisable pages and plugins disrupted the user experience and resulted in glittering "It's a small world" Zwinky pages that were often painful to look at.
While Facebook hasn't quite hit this level, new features are already starting to clutter homepages, and many users have complained vocally about the more prominent chat bar and social ads.
A clean, simple interface was one of Facebook's major attractions, and it would be foolish to cast this aside.
MySpace fell fastest when it stopped being a social network and began concentrating on being an internet entertainment centre, adding video, music and streaming content, all of which Facebook now seems set to echo.
Ultimately the platform's continued success relies on its users willingness to share content and click ads.
While innovation is always laudable, "giving the users what they want" isn't always the best strategy for social networks.

Great write up Matt. I think you are right these latest announcements highlight Facebooks evolution towards a "read, watch & listen" platform.
I'm not at all shocked about the release of a "Ticker" for rich media - this will definitely improve news feeds!
Thanks Phil -details are obviously still pretty murky but it will certainly be interesting to see what happens on Thursday. It could be a revolutionary piece of social genius, or the lowest circle of spam-hell! Definitely be worth watching how this affects ads and targeting going forward.
Facebook isn't new to privacy issues. Mark Zuckerberg seems reluctant to give in to some of its users' demands for better privacy protection. This is really at odds with the company's ultimate goal of 'socializing the entire web under its umbrella'.
As for the new changes Facebook is rolling out, we could not really exactly tell how these would impact the future of social media marketing. The marketing world hasn't fully explored Facebook's real potential as an advertising medium. It is still a fairly new frontier in internet marketing. Despite the lack of understanding of what social media marketing is all about, businesses do it anyway.
The new changes have gone live, and looking at Facebook's page...so far over 9000 comments pleading from their users to CHANGE IT BACK...and it's only 2am.
Is this new change going to turn people to Google+?
There are so many social networking sites for people to keep up with now! With the new updates on Facebook, I'm wondering if people will just get fed up of learning about the latest feature and give up on using the social network altogether. I can also see the potential embarrassment of the automation system after Googling RedTube :)

BENEFITING: Breast Cancer Fund
EVENT: 2010 ING New York City Marathon
EVENT DATE: Nov 07, 2010
So, I am running for the Breast Cancer Fund. The Breast Cancer Fund works to connect the dots between breast cancer and exposures to chemicals and radiation in our everyday environments. I have had many friends and family affected by breast cancer. I hope to raise $10 for every mile I run. I am going to need much more than personal motivation to make it through the last five miles. I just hope to see straight at that point! So if you can donate $5, $10 or any other amount, I would appreciate it!
*In 2010, there will be 207,090 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women in the United States. Of that number, 39,840 deaths will occur. Help stop the No.2 cause of cancer deaths in women.
Thank You!
Kami :)

SYDNEY, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Australian vitamin maker Blackmores Ltd said on Tuesday its full-year profit plunged 41 percent, as exports to China failed to make up for a drop off in demand from Chinese shoppers in Australia.
Blackmores said net profit for the year to June 30 was A$59 million ($46.7 million), compared with A$100 million a year ago. That was below an average forecast for A$63.6 million, according to seven analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company cut its final dividend to A$1.40 from A$2.10 a year ago. Blackmores said in April it expected full-year profit to improve on the 2015 financial year, when it reported net profit of A$46.6 million. ($1 = 1.2631 Australian dollars) (Reporting by Tom Westbrook; Editing by Richard Pullin)

Day in the life of: Mena McMahon, 40
Number of children: Two sons, aged 4 and 21 months
Number of days worked per week: Four (three spent working in the office in the City and one at home)
Tell me about your role and how you got there
I am a market manager at the Royal Bank of Scotland, and my role involves connecting product management with our sales teams globally and supporting our sales teams with their clients. I started my career with ABN AMRO in Dublin in 1994 and moved to their head office in Amsterdam a few years later, before moving to the London office in 2005 and am now part of international banking at RBS.
What does being a working mother mean to you?
I like to think that I am setting a good example to my two boys about women and mothers in the workplace. I have always been proud of what I have achieved in my career and as the children get older I hope they will be proud of me too.
Describe a typical day
I am usually up at 6.15am, get ready for the day and spend a little time with my two boys before leaving home at 7.30am, getting to the office for about 9am. I try to make the most of my commuting time by catching up on emails and reading the news.
At work there is never what I would describe as a typical day, every one is different, which I really enjoy. I leave the office promptly at 5pm to be home for 6.15pm. I have a quick handover with our nanny and then its 30 minutes catch-up with the boys before I start their bedtime routine. I generally do a little cooking for the next day and then either do some work or catch-up with a few family phone calls. Sometimes my husband and I even manage an evening where we are both free to have a glass of wine and dinner together.
What's the biggest day to day issue you face in bringing it all together?
Time. I constantly wish for more of it – more time to spend with the boys and my husband, more time to get through my work to do list, more time for me. My days are planned pretty much to precision and I really try to keep certain parts of the day on track. But work and life with children doesn't always go to plan and thankfully I have flexibility with work and flexibility with childcare to get me through those stressful days.
If you could change one thing about your working week, what would it be?
If flexible working was a more accepted norm I would like to work from home for an additional day. Although there are a lot of initiatives around flexible working at the moment, there is still a lot of work to be done to normalise it.
Have your career ambitions altered since having children?
If anything I may have become more focused. I always thought that by the time I had children I would be ready to look at being a stay-at-home mum. When the time came I found that my career is actually part of who I am. I really enjoy my role and given the years I had invested in my career it wasn't something I was ready to give up.
Now that I am a working mother I feel it is important to keep a focus on my career and show that it is possible to do both jobs. My husband is equally supportive of my goals in life which is very important, but there are definitely days when I question if it is possible to remain career-focused and be the mum I want to be, especially on days when the children are ill or when there is a childcare issue and I am scrambling to keep it all together. Thankfully those days do pass.
How much opportunity is there for career progression within your role?
Thankfully there are opportunities for career progression within my role and I personally feel that my company is supportive of women and working mothers. I am now back to work 10 months after my second maternity leave and have plenty of discussions around my career development so time will tell.
Do you find time for yourself?
That's still on my 'to do' list.
What's your top tip for managing a good work/life balance?
Arrange support and do not be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Until recently my husband travelled every week and even in his new role he still works long hours, so I am the primary carer of our children Monday-Friday. For me good childcare is crucial as it allows me to be able to work when I am at work and not to worry about life at home.
What is your motto in life?
No one can make you feel guilty.
Louisa Symington-Mills, founder of the Citymothers Network, offers her top tips on putting in place a good support network.
1) Establishing a good support network is hard work, particularly if you don't have family nearby to help out. Start by looking into your company benefits policy to see if they cover you for emergency childcare – this can be an invaluable help at short notice.
2) If you're not covered through your employer, consider finding a dedicated emergency childcare provider and registering your details. Typically you only pay when you need their services and it will make the process of finding backup childcare a lot easier when the need arises.
3) Consider interviewing for a local au-pair, mother's help or nanny who may be willing to step in and help if your primary care provider falls through – a nanny share arrangement with another family can be a cost effective way to get flexible backup.
Louisa Symington-Mills is a financial analyst and founder of Citymothers, a fast-growing networking group which acts as a voice for mothers in City careers. It now has over 1,100 members.

Latest News
Thailand to welcome Global Superyacht Charter Fleet
New changes to chartering restrictions for foreign flagged vessels travelling in Thai waters on Friday look set to open up luxury yacht cruising in South East Asia.
Previously, yachts that were not based with a home port in Thailand were prevented from hosting paying guests, but recent pressure from the local yachting industry has helped to bring the huge potential for the untapped, pristine cruising grounds to the attention of the Thai government.
In practical terms, the change is likely to make owning a superyacht in South East Asia a more attractive prospect, as the potential for chartering to paying guests in order to reduce overall operational costs is vastly increased. The number of superyachts visiting from popular Mediterranean yachting hubs is also expected to rise significantly. Owners interested in exploring the pristine, virtually endless cruising grounds can now charter their luxury yachts in popular locations such as Phuket, offsetting the cost of bringing their luxury yachts to the region.
Recent years have seen an enormous investment in the infrastructure for superyacht facilities and support in Phuket. It is the logical first stopping point for superyachts travelling from the Mediterranean, and there will soon be well over 100 permanent superyacht berths available.
Perfectly timed to show off the best and most exciting superyachts available to charter in the newly opened up region, the inaugural Phuket Yacht Show will be a superb showcase of the luxury yacht lifestyle and all it can offer in South East Asia.The organisers of the Show, which has received official governmental support, will be announcing the dates of the first show, expected in early 2016, in the coming weeks.

Untima IX: Descension (DOS)

DescriptionA competent one-man experiment into the top-down CRPG, pulled off with all the panache of Vampyr: Talisman of Invocation or, say, Ultima 3. The difference here is that the author rebels against the established conventions instead of playing to them, exposing the arbitrary design and story cliches plaguing the genre from the start and having a good time taking it down a few notches with a wicked discordian Subgenius sense of humour.
Unlike the irrelevant + unrelated mockery of Ultimuh, however, there is substance behind this parody: Descension's homage delivers a credible game experience, albeit one a decade or so behind the times -- the look and feel of the stickmen's tile-based overland and palace maps could easily pass at a casual glance for actual screens from early members of the Ultima series... it's only in the fine details that you can tell that this isn't being played straight. There's nothing so very unusual about being sent on a quest by Lord Finnish (guess they couldn't afford British)... until he tells you that he needs you to recover his children's book from the dreaded monster "Bunnicula." Is he making fun of you? No -- actually he directs you to the dungeon where it can be found. And sure, maybe "Mustard" is a peculiar name for a dungeon... but so is the canonical "Hythloth", so who am I to judge. The next weapon up from the Mace is the Herring? Well, I'm sure its smell is quite offensive. And while it is true that I've never seen a game with an esoteric (P)ush a plant option among the character's possible single-key actions, it's implemented beautifully and functions precisely as you'd expect. Goofy, but no worse than Space Quest 4's tongue and nose action icons.
In short, it's no less a game for its lack of stony respect for its source material, delivering everything the originals did plus a hefty dose of doesn't-take-itself-so-seriously humour to mellow the repetitive (however classic) find-the-McGuffin, kill-the-Foozle gameplay.

Curiously, immediately following this claim, the author asserts that the entire thing was coded from August through November 1995 -- four years before Ultima 9, its namesake, was released, and likely well before its name was known to the public (or perhaps even to Lord British!) Since there is no reference to "Descension" within the game, it is possible that it was merely another stupidly-high-numbered spoof of the early Ultima games generally, later re-released with a slicker introduction sequence once its numerical designation became relevant as the main series "caught up" to it.

Thigh Lift Boston - Body Lift Wellesley, MA
Thigh & body lifts are used often in combination with liposuction. These are recommended when the skin is too lax. The liposuction will not be adequate in patients who have very wrinkly skin and lots of cellulite because the final effect is dependent on the skin's ability to contract. Lifts both tighten the skin and remove the excess fat producing a very rewarding and beautifully rejunivated appearance to the area treated.

By Mirwais Harooni
KABUL (Reuters) - Preliminary results from Afghanistan's presidential election, due to be announced on Wednesday, have been delayed, an election official said, amid accusations of fraud that threaten to split the fragile country along ethnic lines.
Votes from around 2,000 polling stations in the June 14 run-off are to be reviewed and recounted, said Sharifa Zurmati Wardak of the Independent Election Commission (IEC).
The contest pitted former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah against former World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani.
"This will take nearly a week and the final result won't be announced on time," Wardak told Reuters.
A senior U.N. official said the delay was intended to take account of allegations by Abdullah that his rival engaged in mass vote rigging.
Ghani's aides, citing election observers, say he is in the lead in the run-off by one million votes. But official figures have not been released.
The election was intended to mark the first democratic transfer of power in Afghan history, a crucial step towards stability as NATO prepares to withdraw the bulk of its troops by the end of the year.
Now the U.N. fears the standoff between Abdullah, who draws his support from the minority Tajik community, and Ghani, a member of the Pashtun majority, could inflame long simmering ethnic tensions. The Pashtun are Afghanistan's largest ethnic group and the Tajiks the second largest.
Abdullah has accused President Hamid Karazai, an ethnic Pashtun, of collusion in the alleged rigging. Last week, thousands of Abdullah supporters marched on the presidential palace.
Abdullah's campaign has also released audio recordings purporting to show senior officials discussing stuffing ballot boxes. His aides say that turnout for the run-off in some Pashtun areas was three times higher than in the first round.
On Tuesday, both candidates met U.N. officials and Western diplomats who are trying to help resolve the deadlock.
"The meetings provided an opportunity to engage in discussions about election-related issues and the way forward," a U.N. statement said.
Diplomats hope the delay will help the two sides to agree on the appointment of new electoral officials, following the resignation of the head of the commission's secretariat over fraud claims.
After the meeting, Ghani's aides denounced delays in the count.
"The IEC results should be announced, so that the nation can move on to the adjudication of complaints," they said in a statement.
"Altering the rules of the game, which all participants agreed to beforehand, in the middle of the process, will cause that process to have less legitimacy. People must keep their promises."
Karzai's successor faces a spike in violence as foreign troops draw down, a brewing financial crisis and donors tired of rampant corruption.
The most pressing issue for the new president may be signing a bilateral deal with Washington to allow a small contingent of U.S. troops to stay beyond 2014 for training and counter-terrorism operations.
Karzai has refused to sign, but both Abdullah and Ghani have promised to sign promptly if elected.

Have your say and check out the opinions of others
I've been looking forward to this tour since I arrived in Queenstown! I'm a "Lord of the Rings"-Fan too and that was one of the reasons why I planned to go to Glenorchy and Paradise. The tour was amazing...it was a sensational start with the jetboat heading up the Dart River. The funniest part of the day was our way down the river with the funyaks. It's not so easy at the beginning, but in the end we figured it out how it works...sooo funny!!! The scenery was breathtaking, the lunch was delicious and the guide was wonderful!!! I found my personal paradise there and it was one of the best days I had in six weeks of travelling (and that means a lot, because I've done amazing things like skydiving and a trip to white island, an active vulcano, too!). Thank you for an awesome day and unforgettable memories! I'll be back with my friends and my family - and then I'll join your tour again!!!
We drove to Glenorchy and joined the tour there. After a very informative ride in the small bus through Paradise Valley (yes it is) we had a magical walk through the beech forest. Playing in the hollow tree and sitting on the huge wooden seat made me feel like a hobbit myself. It was my 6 year old daughters first jet boat ride. She loved the boat ride but wasn't so keen on the spins. The driver was clearly sensitive to that and adapted the ride accordingly. The whole excursion worked so well it felt like I was away on a trip with a mate rather than on any kind of packaged trip. Well done to all the staff as they make this adventure superb!!
My wife and I with two daughters, ages 9 and 12 went on the Dart River Jet Boat Safari along with nature walk. It was a beautiful sunny day and went perfectly in every way. Our first bus driver (Sean) was friendly and knowledgeable. Our jet boat driver (Paul) was a likeable guy, skilled driver and ensured all of his passengers felt comfortable. Iain, our nature guide also made our walk interesting and memorable. The bus drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy is so scenic. The jet boat ride takes you further into this incredible area and the nature walk was a great chance to learn more about the environment. I ranked the whole trip very highly and couldn't fault any of the staff. We had been on a smilar trip 15 years ago and were therefore prepared for the cold. We had all our ski gear on and were also given a large waterproof jacket from Dart River Adventures. We all looked like Michelin men but I cannot stress enough to rug up really well. If you don't it would make your trip miserable. Hat, glasses / goggles and some sort of face cover too is adviseable. Thanks guys.

The scenery was incredible! The jet boat was a lot of fun! Its amazing how the driver makes his way. The jackets and hand warming bars for the boat were great on a cold day as well as the warm tomato soup served. A must do.

Neal Brothers Popcorn Tuxedo Treats
Could you have ever guessed how versatile Neal Brothers Popcorn could be!? Did you know you can use the White Cheddar Popcorn for popcorn soup, or perhaps the Kettlecorn for a fun trail mix? While thinking all these up, we thought why not use the Pink Salt for a "Rice Krispie" style treat!? (Well, if we're being brutally honest, many people have thought this up, we just adapted it a tiny bit) These treats are delicious, with just the right amount of sweet and salty! Enjoy
Ingredients (pictured above)
- Brown Sugar – 1/2 Cup
- Marshmallows, big or small – 7 Oz Bag (250 g)
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips- 1/4 Cup
- White Chocolate Wafers- 1/4 Cup
- Neal Brothers Pink Salt Popcorn- 7 Cups
- Salted Butter- 1/4 Cup
1/ Place brown sugar and butter into large saucepan, heat on medium high until melted
2/ Add marshmallows and white chocolate wafers, stir until melted.
3/ Take off heat, and add popcorn, fully coating it.
4/ Pour into 9″ x 9″ pan with parchment paper, pat down, and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
5/ Either place into fridge for 10 minutes (then cut into squares) or roll into popcorn treats.

7/ Let cool in fridge for 10-15 minutes, enjoy!

Posted on 11-14-2015
In preparation for the celebration next year of our 30th year of providing chiropractic care to my community in Portland, Oregon, I have been challenged to think about the pillars that support the work we do. These pillars will help provide insight with regards to our unique perspective on health, and will help you understand what makes Day Chiropractic unique in terms of the health care contribution to our patients. So this blog post is on the first of 4 pillars, namely that is the philosophy that not only we (clinic staff and doctor), but also you (our patients) help each other heal. It would be commonly expected in a typical clinic, that you (the patient) would make an appointment with the doctor for an assessment, and hopefully the doctor would give you a treatment recommendation and he or she would do something to you that would (hopefully!) bring about the desired effect. We now realize that an incredible resource is left on the table under that scenario - the influence that each of you can have on each other.
A number of studies have explored the effectiveness of treatment regimens - either individually or as a group, and interestingly some studies have found an increase in effectiveness when study participants are linked together with other patients - some type of synergy exists when we join forces with others on a similar pathway. How many of us have experienced the value of having an exercise buddy to walk with us, or go to the gym with us, etc. to help us follow through with our intended health goals. My first foray into opening up my clinic to facilitate intra-patient communication was initially in the therapy room, then later I realized that since we adjust patients while they are fully clothed in their normal attire, that we could also open up the environment surrounding the adjustment itself, in what could be described as an "Adjustatorium". This was not something I came to quickly - in fact, when we bought our new clinic in 1997, I took down the walls between the adjusting tables - and I was so nervous about that, that I hardly slept at all the night before we made the move to the new clinic. Looking back on my anxious spirit in 1997 to where we are now in 2015, I just smile. This idea has exceeded my expectations far beyond what I could have imagined!
I had heard about the concept of an "adjustatorium", but had never experienced it before. Apparently, early in chiropractic's history, some chiropractors would travel in a circuit, with brief stops in various communities. It was not uncommon for the demand to be greater than the time allotted for that doctor in the town, so a type of lottery would be administered, with patients holding a ticket with a number below a magic number being able to receive care. Often, that chiropractor would adjust patients in front of God and everyone to help serve as many patients as was physically possible. Miracles occurred in that environment, and deep in my heart, I wanted to see that type of response in our patients. I was a pretty confident chiropractor having achieved a lot of success early in my practice, but when challenged by Dr. C.J. Mertz to re-evaluate our success on the basis of miracles we saw in patients under our care, rather than on how busy we were - a new perspective crystalized in my heart.
This was why I became a chiropractor in the first place! My father was an incredible chiropractor who served the people of the town in which I was raised. As I was growing up, the stories that his patients told of how he had saved their lives, or how Mrs. Crawford felt the hand of God touch her when he worked on her back, were a big factor in my decision to pursue a chiropractic career.
We were helping a lot of patients, but it was primarily people who had suffered from injuries from car accidents or work injuries. While we still help those conditions, I look forward with much more anticipation to those cases of chronic fatigue, asthma, headaches, complex neurological challenges like Parkinson's, dystonia, and other types of conditions where the nerve system begins to fail, often without a clear etiology.
We have found that patients who are sick, often feel isolated. They may have told their loved ones, or church family of the health challenges, but still find themselves in a situation that feels very lonely. By opening up our environment into a feel more like a cafe (we call it our "Chiro Cafe") it opens up communication between patients who don't even know each other, and I can't tell you how wonderful it can be for someone who feels lonesome. We have had patients touch in a comforting fashion, pray for each other, exchange recipes, and so many other forms of interaction that I often wonder if the healing influence of genuine care for each other may be even more important that what I can provide!
When you go to the doctor, and are placed in a room by yourself - you don't see what happens to others. In our office, a benefit from the welcoming open environment is that you may get glimpses of a child receiving an adjustment, or stuffed animal getting adjustment (we do have a family practice, after all), an elderly patient or young athlete getting their power turned on!
If I show an exercise like a corner push-up to one patient, I often then take the opportunity to show the others who are in the area the value of that exercise, and many of them will be able to benefit from that demonstration as well.
We have decided to dispense with the trappings of "authority" like my white coat and tie. You already know that I am a chiropractor, and my job is to inspire you to have the level of commitment to your own health goals that you will follow through with your home care and instructions - I am just there to facilitate and guide your body's healing process. It is important that if your appointment is at the end of the day, that my energy level, focus and attention is fully on you and your subluxation. To do that, I need to be dressed with a level of comfort that will allow that to happen.

Sagapo commits in creating awareness to transform lives and restore hope. By educating the children of today, we envision positive change in current communities, and encourage the passing on of their knowledge to future generations.
Sixty-seven million primary school-age children around the world are not enrolled in school. Lack of education puts these children at a greater risk for exploitation, early marriage, racism, violence, and drastically decreases down their expected income. Our mission is to create a better learning environment for children and increase awareness among their parents, communities, and governments about the necessity and importance of proper education.
We commit to honour the right for all children to have access to education so they have the chance to evolve and excel. Our respect and deep love for children are the driving force for our cause.

Julia Cameron Quotes About WaitingQuotes about: Waiting
When we seek daily spiritual guidance, we are guided toward the next step forward for our art. Sometimes the step is very small. Sometimes the step is, "Wait. Not now." Sometimes the step is, "Work on something else for a while." When we are open to Divine Guidance, we will receive it. It will come to us as the hunch, the inkling, the itch. It will come to us as timely conversations with others. It will come to us in many ways--but it will come.
As artists, we belong to an ancient and holy tribe. We are the carriers of the truth that spirit moves through us all. When we deal with one another, we are dealing not merely with our own human personalities but also with the unseen but ever-present throng of ideas, visions, stories, poems, songs, sculptures, art-as-facts that crowd the temple of consciousness waiting their turn to be born.
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.

1. Restart, let the screen come to login (you cannot see this, but it does happen in the background)
2. press control, and then your password
3. after a few minutes the computer will start, you cannot see that though
4. Press the key F4 (as if you are changing the display to a projector). If nothing happens, try 3-4 times slowly each time pausing to see a flicker/ or screen showing up
5. You can eventually see the screen...
6. Select either dual screen display or "show second screen only" option...
7. Quickly back up your data....
8. Never ever upgrade Windows until everyone says its safe... No use being on the bleeding edge.
I was updating a Dell Precision M4600 from Windows 8.1 to Window 10 Pro. For me the black screen with white cursor (and the processor furiously running) was caused by the laptop having an onboard Intel HD video as well as an nVidia video card. I had the Optimus technology turned off in the BIOS. That meant I was using the nVidia exclusively, not the onboard Intel.
I forced a shutdown, went into the BIOS and enabled Optimus so that the laptop was using the onboard Intel HD video. That was all it needed, and then the update to Windows 10 proceeding without a hitch.
Common Faults / Fixes List - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums
This is my first time posting to this forum but I have the exact same issue with my computer. It's a Dell 15 Inspiron. I just downloaded Windows 10. My computer screen is black with the HDD light stuck on. However, I do have an external display connected and I CAN still use the computer. The HDD does blink with the external display connected. I still can't get the actual computer's display to work by duplicating or extending. I've tried restarting and resetting my computer with no luck. If you are having this issue hook up an external display via VGA or HDMI. At least that way you might be able to troubleshoot some. I'm no expert so I'm not sure what else to do but just thought I'd share this.
What video card do you have? If Nvidia try updating the driver for it. You could try running Nvidia GeForce Experience to do this for you.

Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Department of Social Security (Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish): It is impossible to predict accurately yet what the exact costs of EU enlargement will be. EU enlargement provides an opportunity to secure long-term stability and prosperity throughout Europe if achieved on the right terms. To this end the UK government will continue to press for the reform of key EU policies which is necessary to make enlargement both possible and affordable.
The Earl of Clancarty asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of National Heritage (Lord Inglewood): The Government aim to encourage greater access to all museums and galleries and are pleased to note that, excluding the Royal Armouries, for which figures are not available, visits to museums and galleries sponsored by the Department of National Heritage have risen from 19.94 million in 1989-90 to an estimated 24.3 million in 1995-96. The Government believe, however, that the decision as to whether or not charges should be levied is a matter for the trustees of each institution.
The Earl of Clancarty asked Her Majesty's Government:
How far attendance figures at the Victoria and Albert Museum (South Kensington site) fell following the introduction of voluntary donations on admittance in 1985.
Lord Inglewood: The Victoria and Albert Museum introduced voluntary donations to the South Kensington site in November 1985. The V&A has estimated that in 1984 there were 1,690,122 visits to the site, and in 1986, 1,022,328 visits.
The V&A does not anticipate a significant drop in attendance figures, as many of their visitors are used to paying, albeit on a voluntary basis.
The Earl of Clancarty asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Inglewood: The Government will consider most carefully the level of grant-in-aid for the Victoria and Albert Museum but I cannot anticipate the outcome of the forthcoming public expenditure round which will be announced on Budget Day. As to reversing the Museum's decision to introduce admission charges, that is a matter entirely for the Museum's Board of Trustees. The Government notes, however, that the Victoria and Albert Museum has stated that free entry will be maintained for students and those under 18, that there will be free or concessionary entry for many other groups, and that there will be periods of free access for all.
Earl Russell asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Blatch): Formal country assessments are not prepared on all countries, but, where they are, they are made available to Parliament.
Lord Beloff asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Department for Education and Employment (Lord Henley): I have today arranged for a copy of the report to be placed in the Library.
Lord Jenkins of Putney asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Earl Howe): It is not government policy to comment on the detailed operations at RAF Menwith Hill. However no activity considered inimical to British interests is, or would be, permitted at the station.

Focus Groups: Meme circulating that Obama failed because Republicans wouldn't let him be a success
Do you belong to any non-political groups or activities where politics comes up from time to time?
Facebook is the best example, because it's a giant public forum, where you can see what people are posting on their "Walls". Most of the time these are postings about having drinks, walking dogs, getting Starbucks, or slaying vampires (depending on what circle of friends you keep and how close you live to either Sunnydale or Cleveland), but there and there politics sneaks in.
Here's a note we got from Doris, who spends time on a lot of crafting sites. While there, reading about things pertaining to her hobby, Doris spots bits of political conversations that are more valuable than anything you will read in the comments on actual political sites — because the commenters on political sites are just more attuned to politics than average Americans.
To really get a feeling for what the voters in 2012 are thinking, you can't put too much credance in conventional thought on political sites. You need to get outside this bubble and see what people are saying in places where politics comes up as an after thought to other things…just like talking to people in a conversation might veer into politics a little, before getting back to kids, careers, pets, cooking, sports, or whatever.
Start looking for "focus groups" in interesting places — like Doris does:
Dear HillBuzz,
I belong to a crafting blog where there is an area that discusses current events. I have been reading this EXACT talking point lately. Republicans want Obama to do badly. They never gave him a chance. Republicans are obstructionists. Blah, blah, blah… I think they are using this narrative because they know that Obama's policies are destroying our country, and his poll numbers are tanking. I think this proves what we all know. Obama's policies were not successful. And they know it and are trying to blame others for its failure….
However, I do not think that this is going to work. Americans are not going to vote for a guy because he is black (we did that once, and it was a disaster!) or because we feel sorry for him. (he is losing sleep ya know over our debt…) People think about their families, job security, the value of their homes, and the price of gas and food. They care about that a heck-of-a-lot more than Obama. Pity is not a good bumpersticker.
What sorts of forums or chat rooms do you belong to outside the political world?
What do people say about politics, especially regarding Obama, in these non-political settings?
I think it's especially important to keep track of what's being said in places that moms and grandmoms frequent, because these women will be the key to winning the election in 2012.
Where moms go, so goes the nation.
Free Sarah Palin Posters
Friends of Hillbuzz Ray and Susan have put together a great selection of Sarah Palin posters that are available as free downloads. Just download to your computer and print out on your own paper.
Great for annoying Leftist co-workers, posting on construction sites in sanctuary cities, and affixing to telephone poles outside of head shops near Lefty liberal arts colleges.
GOP Working Hard to Lose Ohio in 2012, Say Tea Party Activists
Thanks to Hillbuzz reader Temple of Mut for making us aware of this article from Reuters:
Special report: Stuck between the Tea Party and a hard place
Keeping in mind that Reuters is part of the Mainstream Media, this special report still contains a number of gems about the current relationship between the GOP and Tea Party movements throughout the Midwest — Ohio in particular.
Several of us at Buzzquarters are from Ohio, and we get back for meetings of the Mineral City Coffee Club whenever we can.
As the left-leaning Brookings Institute pointed out in March, Ohio is important because President Obama Can't Win the 2012 Election Without It. Not because of the Buckeye state's 20 electoral votes, but because
Ohio is close to being a microcosm of the country—closer than any other pivotal state. As such, winning Ohio is a statistical "tipping-point" for any presidential election: If a candidate can carry Ohio, he will have appealed to a large enough slice of the national electorate to have won the states that tilt even further in his preferred direction, and he is odds-on to win the race.
And things aren't looking good for the Cocktail Party GOP in Ohio. Tea Party activists are fed up. They're fed up with establishment politicians like House Speaker John Boehner of West Chester (a suburb of Cincinnati). They're fed up with compromise and politics as usual from the Party of Stupid.
On April 25th, about two dozen Tea Party activists from throughout Boehner's district met with him in the west central Ohio town of Troy, which could star as Small Town U.S.A. in any campaign ad.
One of the 25 or so leaders, all from Boehner's district, asked him if Republicans would raise America's $14.3 trillion debt limit.
According to half a dozen attendees interviewed by Reuters, the most powerful Republican in Washington said "yes."
"And we're going to have to raise it again in the future," he added. With the mass retirement of America's Baby Boomers, he explained, it would take 20 years to balance the U.S. budget and 30 years after that to erase the nation's huge fiscal deficit.
"You could have knocked me out of my chair," said Denise Robertson, a computer programer who belongs to the Preble County Liberty Group. "Fifty years?"
She said "my fantasy now" is someone will challenge Boehner in the 2012 Republican primaries. "If we could find someone good to run against him, I'd campaign for them every day," Robertson said.
The GOP seems to already have forgotten who was responsible for the biggest midterm clock-cleaning in modern U.S. political history, handed to The Left in the November, 2010 elections.
If they are not careful, Tea Party activists all over Ohio — and America — are going to remind them.
Both the Leftists and the GOP may think that "the heat is off" since Tea Party events are fewer and further between. The truth is that Tea Party organizations in Ohio (and elsewhere) have learned a lot since 2008. They've moved away from sponsoring rallies (high-profile, but low ROI) to grassroots political activism.
A number of Ohio's Tea Party organizations got their start as Ron Paul Meetup groups during the 2008 campaign. They've moved beyond support of an individual candidate to focus on the fight for individual rights, gun rights, Constitutional governance and free market capitalism in Ohio. The movement has coalesced into an influential and organized statewide alliance of liberty-oriented local groups called the Ohio Liberty Council.
And their efforts are paying off. Liberty activists in Ohio have made history with The Ohio Project, a bid to amend the Ohio Constitution to nullify Obamacare in the Buckeye State. In just over a year, Ohio volunteers have collected over 336,000 signatures and are just 50,000 shy of getting the Health Care Freedom Amendment on the November, 2011 ballot. This is the largest number of signatures ever gathered by volunteer petition circulators in Ohio. This kind of "retail activism" is noted in the Reuters article:
After failing to halt the passage of Obama's health reform bill, Tea Partiers staffed phone banks, knocked on doors to get out the vote and played a major role in gaining 63 seats for the Republicans in the 2010 elections.
The biggest midterm election year swing since 1938 delivered a large House majority for the Republicans and made gains in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Flush with victory, Tea Partiers dived headfirst into local and state politics in 2011 — the results of which are expected to affect the state and national elections of 2012.
Their primary foe is still America's progressive left — it is a given in Ohio, for instance, that the top target for 2012 is Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown.
But now more than ever before the full force of their ire is directed at the Republican Party establishment.
And, unbelievably, the Cocktail Party GOP doesn't see it coming. At all. And seems intent on living up to its nickname The Party of Stupid.
According to Ned Ryun, head of American Majority, which provides training for conservative activists, the Republicans' problem is they mistook their November victory as a sign the Tea Party backed them because its members are conservatives.
"The Republican establishment suffers from a weird belief that somehow the Tea Party will fall in line because it is an adjunct of the Republican Party," he said. "But the Tea Party is not and never will be an arm of the Republican Party."
Those of us who read (and write for) Hillbuzz understand that "conservative" or "libertarian" is non synonymous with "Republican."
The Cocktail Party GOP just doesn't get it. And if they're not careful, they're going to lose Ohio because of their blindness and arrogance.
If we don't take control of the Republican primary process, we run the risk of having another John McCain shoved down our throats by the mainstream media and Democrats voting in open primaries. And another four years of the worst president in the history of our country.
First GOP debate in 2 days…Juan Williams is asking for our help
The first official GOP debate of the 2012 primary season will be this Thursday May 5th at 9pm in South Carolina and it's being hosted by Fox. The moderators will be Juan Williams, Bret Bair, Chris Wallace and Shannon Bream…..I think this is a pretty fair mix of left and right. The field of candidates that are appearing for the debate is pretty thin. Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson and Ron Paul are going to be the only participants. Where's the Donald? Where's Gingrich, Bachmann, Daniels and Huckabee? I'm confused as to who has officially thrown their hat in the ring and who hasn't. Of course, the 2 biggest names that are absent are Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney. Juan Williams thinks that Romney is waiting because "he wants the Republican faithful, especially people with big money, to come to him out of frustration with a mediocre field and give him the nomination by acclamation." I think he may be right.
So….Juan is asking people to submit debate questions and the panel will consider them for their lineup. This could be fun….if they are really serious about it.
Let's all get involved with this….even if the field of candidates participating doesn't excite you too much. Maybe we can weed out the ones who should drop out of the race ASAP. I'm looking forward to hearing from Ron Paul….for some reason, that man scares me. I really, really like Herman Cain but…is he presidential material? I think Tim Pawlenty is about as exciting as a banana sandwich but maybe he will change my mind after the debate.
What do you guys think?
Post the questions that you want asked and then send them to Juan at email@example.com.
This is an Red Team Action Item.
Gold Action Item: Think of ways to consistently ask Americans if they received the hopeychange Obama promised them in 2008
I have been told the Cocktail Party GOP establishment does not want Americans asked on a regular basis if they got the hopeychange Obama promised them in the 2008 election.
Say it with me: the Cocktail Party GOP establishment is stupid, and far too dependent on consultants who eat their crayons.
The thinking (if you stretch the word enough to cover this folly) is that "Republicans need to save this attack for 2012″.
The same way the Party of Stupid is forever saving this, reserving that, and generally abstaining from winning strategies…for one inane reason or another.
The article at the top of this post predicts $6 gas this summer…with a massive surge in food prices. States are so broke, many cannot even afford to keep funding their food stamp programs. That means disaster, not hopeychange, is barrelling down on millions of Americans…many of whom were stupidly Obama voters in 2008.
On a daily basis, people who voted for Obama three years ago need to be asked if they received the hopeychange they were promised and if they are in better shape than they were back when they drank all that Kool-Aid.
I do not see any way that people who did NOT vote for Obama in 2008 will be so charmed by his job performance that they support his re-election.
I have never heard a McCain/Palin voter wish they could time travel and pull the lever for Obama instead…not even for the free ride in an operational, flux-capacitored DeLorean.
That leaves our focus on asking the non-crazy, but misguided 2008 Obama voters if all the hopeychange hype and Media zeal was worth it in THEIR DAILY LIVES.
Make people realize what a bad hiring decision they made in wanting to take a chance on an untested, mysterious, exotic who never delivered on the soaring promises of his job interview.
Give people a BUSINESS and not emotional decision to make…and watch them vote in their economic best interests to evict the Obamas from Washington.
Remember: the GOP Cocktail Party establishment will fumble this, because part of me thinks the consulting firms these fools rely so heavily on WANT to lose important elections.
We have a year and change to prevent this.
And it starts by asking every last Obama voter in the country if they got the hopeychange they were promised.
Does anyone out there REALLY know a soul who is better off today than he or she was before The Golden Age of Hope and Change began?
