I have a 3000 C200 laptop. I recently presented a presentation to a client (I work as a freelancer). At the end of the presentation, I chose the display as 1024x768 and closed my laptop (NOT shutting it down).
I later opened (resumed the sessions), carried on working, and then closed again (again, not shutting it off).
After doing this a few times, I shut down the computer and restarted.
However when it started up the display was not resumed in the normal mode (it almost appears as a lower resolution).
I rechecked the settings of the display and ensured it is 1024x768. The icons and screen are "offset" - too large for the display (the working space is larger than what I can view on the screen).
If anyone understands my detail of the problem and has a solution .... your assistance would be much appreciated !
I have the same problem,
I am unable to set the resolution to the correct screen size, I have downloaded the correct drivers from Lenovo.
can any one help ?
Hi ,
I have spent the last day trying to resolve the problem without any success.
This is a bit hard to explain but I will try.
I have the correct resolution and I have tried all the different settings I can find , I even have a problem viewing all the screen in the bios settings.
The viewable screen is off set, I have a black border 40mm wide on the left of the screen and a 10 mm border on the top off the screen . if this was a desktop I could adjust the screen position with the monitor controls but as it is a notebook I cant find any controls to move the screen about.
Hi ,
I have now found the problem , but I dont know how to fix it.
If I look in windows display settings the monitor resolution is set at 1024 x 768 which is correct.
If I look in the intel GMA graphics settings the resolution is set at 1024 x 768 which is correct.
BUT when I look at the intel GMA Information / notebook screen the only supported mode is 1280 x 800 , for some reason the chipset thinks it is supporting a 1280 x 800 screen and that is why my display is off center .
Can anyone suggest how I can change the settings ?
Even though nobody can help.
I thought I would give a update.
I have flashed the bios and I re-loaded the intel chipset and video drivers.
This didnt make any difference I still had the screen problem.
I have still been using the laptop but viewing a small off center screen .
Today I turned it on and it is back to normal , I have no idea why , as I havnt updated or tried anything for a week or so.
So if you get this problem it may fix it self over time .

Hello Everybody!
Your thread is the reason I registered for the lenovo forum.
We have the same problem with our Lenovo 3000 C200.
It seems the GMA 950 recognizes / detects the display with a wrong native resolution.
This is NOT a software/driver issue, and has nothing to do with the OS:
You may notice, right after powering up the machine, the Lenovo Bootscreen/password screen is out-centred, so this has nothing to do with software.
Tried different Bios version, without any luck.
In my opinion either the GPU or the display is faulty.
The issue appears randomly, sometimes rebooting helps, and with an external Monitor everything its fine, so i tend to say the internal display/controller is the problem.
Any Suggestions?
THX and greetings !
I have the same problem with my 3000 c200, my friend.
If you find a solution, please, post it here.
Thanks in advance.
...the problem is getting worse.
20 starts before the screen is recognized correct, VGA still works fine.
The problem is so nagging, were going to buy a new laptop.
And guess what:
Not the display issue is the reason, but the lack of support.
I know that it is no Thinkpad, but for the price of this unit, i could have choosen a device from another manufacturer with a lot better specs, but i went for a "lenovo" because I wanted to have may parents a reliable machine with decent build quality, and with a good support.
What I didn't look at was that warranty of this one was only 1 year (2 years would be standard in germany for non-business customers) didn't check this, ok, my fault.
But: That Lenovo wouldn't even let me contact customer care with a simple question on this problem without charging me like 20€ or so...this is absolutely unacceptable...
Mine has today just developed this fault too. It hasn't correctly configured itself at all today. As above, have flashed the BIOS and reset to defaults but to no avail.
TBH though I've been pretty happy with this machine. With 4GB RAM and a Scorpio Black HDD it's runs Win7 well and has reasonable battery life even now. It's also taken a lot of abuse from my children over the years.
Since Lenovo has NOT ANSWERED my e-mails,
I did a bit of testing and discovered the reason for this problem:
Try starting the machine using different OPENING ANGLEs of the display.
As it turns out, our Display will be identified always correct when the lid is nearly closed.
I think the reason might be a DEFECTIVE LCD-CABLE/CONNECTION
I am going to take a look at it and will post the result, and whether it is possible to change it "DIY" or not.

Biesse at Eurobois 2015: innovation, modernity and design
From 4th to 7th March 2015, Biesse technologies and machinery were on display at Eurobois salon, the biennial fair of machinery and wood components that takes place in Lyone.
"A strong sign of confidence" commented Laurent Maziès, Director of Biesse France regarding the success of the participation at the Eurobois show. "The outcome of this new edition is very positive and I'm excited to see that our results confirm this fair as key reference point for all operators in the sector, and a unique platform for the latest market trends".
"The salon" continues Maziès, "is a privileged opportunity to meet industry and our customers. Visitors know that the sector of machine tools is extremely competitive and we must constantly innovate to stay and be a leader guide for the other operators in the industry".
With an area of 400 square meters wide, the stand has been designed to welcome visitors into a concept space that also exposes objects and design products, highly innovative in their field, created by world-famous designers and manufactured using Biesse machines. During the fair, customers were also able to appreciate the potential of the Biesse machines and be informed on the latest products, such as the edgebander Akron 1440 equipped with AirForce System device, the NC processing centres Rover K G and Rover A 1643 5-axis, the driller Skipper V31 able to produce "just in time" and the latest addition to Biesse home, the sanding machine Opera 5. Regarding programming, large space was given to Biesse software solution, bSolid, which received a new global recognition, winning the Eurobois Innovation Award.
Biesse's presence at Eurobois closed with extremely positive results in terms of visits: a good sign for the upcoming participation at Ligna 2015.

Join Boatshed - New Modular Brokerage Options
Work with the Yacht Broker that customers love: Boatshed's digital platform and modular sales process have reinvented the business...
It's tough being in the boat sales business. Customers get frustrated, as they never seem to find exactly what they want. Boat owners can't make up their minds to sell. Both are fed up with the lack of information about the boat and the sale, and the overall lack of transparency. And both sides blame all the frustration on the yacht broker, who just tries to make everyone happy.
Unless you work for Boatshed. At Boatshed, we are reinventing the yacht brokerage business for the digital age. Buyers and sellers don't go to the boatyard or the broker's office to find a boat today – they go online.
Complete Transparency, Total Control
The Boatshed online platform enables complete transparency for both buyers and sellers. Everything the buyer wants to know about the boat is right there, along with a swathe of photos, so that the buyer can decide if he or she is seriously interested before even going to see the boat. For the seller, the entire brokerage process is managed via the platform, so that the well-informed seller can work closely with the broker.
Modular Boat Sales Process
Earn 20%, 40% or 60% of the Brokerage commission when boats sell.
Boatshed has also broken down the sales process into separate modules, so that it is possible to work with them on only part of the sale and still profit from it.
Can you find listings ? Recommend a friend or invite your existing customers to list their boats. If you find a listing that leads to a sale, then you earn up to 20 per cent of commission.
Carry out the 'on the ground' element of the process, which means meeting the the owner on board, taking the photographs for the listing and accompanying buyers on viewings, handing over the keys and receive up to 20 per cent of the commission when the boat sells.
For the the first 2 processes no selling or negotiating elements are involved, you simply need to love boats.
If you would like to make up to 60% of the commission and for the right people, we offer an enhanced training programme that enables them to get involved in the Brokerage role. This includes liaison with customers, negotiation, working with marinas, and a number of other critical parts of the sales process. You will receive up to 20 per cent of the commission when the boat sells.
With Boatshed, you can design your role in the yacht brokerage sales process, achieve your own goals, and join the yacht brokerage customers love. You'll get full support from our global organisation as well.

Using Technology to Support a Music Curriculum
The newsletter this month includes some ideas that are in keeping with the theme of providing enriching educational opportunities for young people through music. Although such opportunities can come, for example, through simply playing an instrument we are keen at Dolphin Music to shed some light on the opportunities that are available through the use of music technology.
Technology can support students' learning and open new horizons for creative experience. In my role as a teacher of music technology at KS3, GCSE and vocational at KS4 and Post 16 I discovered that students can unlock their potential for achievement in music through the use of technology. Naturally, the technology can not be seen as a substitute to creative effort.
System Profile 002: Classroom Composing and Recording
I used the system described below in my teaching at Gladesmore Community School and the Haringey City Learning Centre where I taught KS3 song writing and music technology schemes, GCSE, A Level Music Technology, NCFE Level 2 in Music Technology and extra curricular access clubs.
A Dolphin Music PC [Dolphin ID 15102]
This computer is designed for use with music technology and is as such suited to the rigors of sound processing. Computers bought for general purpose cannot be guaranteed to work as part of music technology systems.
M-Audio Ozone USB MIDI keyboard/soundcard [Dolphin ID 1780]
The Ozone keyboard/soundcard is both a MIDI controller keyboard that can be used to play MIDI virtual instruments or sound modules. It is also a soundcard that offers high quality sound signal processing and connections for microphones and instruments. It is a convenient way of providing the basic requirements of a music technology system.
Cubase SX2EDU [Cubase 4 EDU Dolphin ID 15788]
Cubase is sequencing and recording software that allow users to record and arrange parts – either as MIDI or audio. Editing tools and effects are also included. Cubase can be seen as a complete music production application.
Reason 3 EDU [Dolphin ID 5737]
Reason is the leading all in one virtual studio software. It includes a sequencer for recording and arranging parts along with instruments and effects processors. Reason can be used on its own but is limited when used in this way to MIDI sequencing and cannot be used for recording with microphones or 'live' instruments. It can, however, be used in synchrony with a 'host' sequencer, such as Cubase, which will allow users to use the range of instruments available in Reason but with the sequencing and recording tools of the host application.
Sennheiser HD 201 Headphones [Dolphin ID 6033]
Headphone Splitters
Students were able to use these systems for composition and recording. When recording it was simple to connect a microphone or instrument to the input on the Ozone and record into Cubase. MIDI sequencing for more advanced students combined Cubase with the instrument and effects rack in Reason. The two programs work really well together using this Rewire connection but of course Reason can also be used as an easy to use, all-in-one virtual studio. For my younger students, or for those just wishing to enjoy music making, Reason was outstanding.
The KS3 students were able to begin learning about composition by using Reason song templates with loops that I had prepared as building blocks for arranging and 'remixing'. We would begin with loops and make a basic song structure. Then more able students could progress to adding accompanying parts by playing the Ozone's MIDI keyboard and even record vocals or 'live' parts. We would listen regularly to examples of songs in styles that the students enjoyed and then apply students' knowledge and listening skills to determine how their own work might mimic the desired characteristics. It was a really fun and highly successful scheme. Even students who would not usually engage with 'normal' music lessons could enjoy taking part.
The GCSE students were able to use Reason and Cubase for their coursework. The wide range of sounds available in Reason made the process of creating coursework compositions fun for the students and those who wished to work with a score could use the score editing feature in Cubase. When finished the coursework was easily mixed down to an audio file that we stored with the students records and later burned to CD.
For GCSE performance recordings this system was excellent because students could easily book a time to perform and record their coursework using a general purpose microphone [we used the Shure SM58 and AKG1000s models] connected to the Ozone. These recordings could then be stored in the students' records. Having students' work stored in this way on our staff computer made the process of collating coursework for marking and moderation so much easier – remember the days of recording to tape!!!!
Also at KS4 we offered the NCFE Level 2 Course in Music Technology, worth two GCSE grade Bs. This vocational course was offered in the first instance to able but often disengaged students. It lent itself well to this kind of student and proved very successful and popular. The course was largely undertaken using the system outlined above but required that we provide a modest recording studio facility for some of the course elements covered. The recording studio facility [covered in next month's newsletter] was also necessary for the A Level Music Technology Course we offered to our sixth formers.
The music technology systems we used were so popular with students that we opened access through lunch time and after school clubs. We also used them for project work including, for examples, our school's anti gun crime album production, a local community music project promoting positive behavior and ideas. We also ran classes in music technology for adult learners from the community that proved very popular.
We found that the buzz and excitement surrounding our music projects really helped to reinforce the ethos that school was a good place to be; a place where learning could be fun and valuable at the same time. We tried where possible to link our music curriculum with other subject areas such as ICT, History, Literacy and Numeracy.
If you would like some advice on how to set up your own music technology classroom system and offer any of the courses mentioned in the profile above you can contact our education department at Dolphin Music for some advice.
There are useful guides published on the Dolphin Music Education Web Pages that will help you decide what equipment you need and how you might put it to good use.

Ball State University was founded as Indiana State Normal School, Eastern Division, in 1918. Its antecedents, all housed in what is now the Ball State Administration Building, were also normal schools, owned and operated under various names. In 1918, the Ball brothers, a prominent Muncie industrial family, bought the property and donated it to the state of Indiana, which, in turn, transferred control of the school to the board of trustees of the Indiana State Normal School in Terre Haute. In 1922, in recognition of the generosity of the Ball brothers, the board added Ball Teachers College to the school's name. In 1929, the Indiana General Assembly separated the two colleges, naming the Muncie campus Ball State Teachers College. On February 8, 1965, the general assembly renamed the institution Ball State University in recognition of its phenomenal growth in enrollment and physical facilities; the variety and quality of its educational programs and services; and in anticipation of the much broader role it would be expected to assume in the future.
Ball State University is a comprehensive, publicly assisted institution of higher learning whose mission is to provide excellent education. It is located in Muncie, Indiana, a city of 70,000, fifty-six miles northeast of Indianapolis. Although its primary concern is for the citizens of Indiana, it offers programs with appeal to regional, national, and international audiences. Ball State University offers a strong undergraduate liberal and professional education and selected graduate programs of high quality. Ball State students can choose from a comprehensive range of academic programs at the associate, baccalaureate, and master's levels, as well as doctoral programs in areas where the university has special competence. In addition to core academic programs in the arts, sciences, and humanities, the university offers more than 140 major and minor areas of study through its seven colleges: Applied Sciences and Technology; Architecture and Planning; Miller College of Business; Communication, Information, and Media; Fine Arts; Honors College; Sciences and Humanities; and Teachers College.The university has a selective admissions policy; in some areas, such as architecture, the university is very selective. Exceptionally well-qualified undergraduate students may enroll in the Honors College for more intellectually demanding programs of study. Students who have not decided on a major or who may need to strengthen their learning skills can take advantage of the special academic assistance and intensive educational advising offered by University College. As part of Ball State's commitment to excellence in education, the university offers students a friendly, collegial atmosphere; a full range of out-of-class activities; and excellent, well-planned academic, residential, and recreational facilities. An impressive array of student support services contributes to the personal, social, and intellectual development of all students. Although Ball State University is primarily a residential academic community, it also supports programs that reach students well beyond the immediate campus. Through interactive telecommunications, Internet courses, and on-site courses, Ball State distance learning students are able to take courses and entire degree programs. The university has a strong commitment to cultural diversity and international programs. It offers exchange programs with universities throughout the world and a wide variety of opportunities for students to study abroad.
Ball State University will be a national model of excellence for challenging, learner-centered academic communities that advance knowledge and improve economic vitality and quality of life.
Ball State University is an innovative, supportive academic community that inspires students by:

Time to allow same-sex marriage
Rhode Island lawmakers are again considering legislation that would permit same-sex marriage.
Rhode Island already recognizes same-sex marriages that have been performed in other states and allows gay couples to obtain civil unions – although there are a number of exemptions.
But gay marriages are not currently permitted. The marriage-equality bill would change that.
Controversial as the topic may be, our nation's attitude toward gay marriage has been slowly changing over the past decade. Already, nine states have approved same sex marriage: Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington.
A bill that would allow gay marriage in Rhode Island has been introduced every year for the past 10 years. The legislation that is under consideration by the General Assembly would affect secular law, not religious law. In other words, churches in Rhode Island would not be compelled to recognize gay marriage if the measure becomes law.
Some churches do favor gay marriage. A Rhode Island Episcopal bishop recently spoke out in favor of the gay-marriage legislation.
The proposed legislation before the General Assembly would impact the civil rights of gay couples, allowing them the same marriage rights and benefits that are currently granted to heterosexual couples. That is an important step.
As proposed, this legislation would continue our nation's long-standing efforts to eliminate discrimination so that no matter what a person's age, race, sex, religion or sexual orientation, all are treated equally and fairly.
Last year a poll conducted by Brown University showed that 56 percent of Rhode Island voters support gay marriage and only 36 percent opposed such a measure.
It's time for the General Assembly to approve gay marriage. Our state representative, Deb Ruggiero, has expressed her support for the legislation. Meanwhile, our state senator, Teresa Paiva Weed, is not in favor of the marriage-equality bill.
Call, write or e-mail our state lawmakers and let them know where you stand on the issue.
— Jeff McDonough

Keeney is the son of Bob and Marcia Keeney and was a 2009 graduate of Callaway where he set several school and conference track records.—reported in the Callaway Courier.

With one game under his belt after returning from a six-game hiatus due to a broken fibula at his ankle, Dr. Phillips quarterback Alton Meeks is set to guide the Panthers into Friday night's Class 8A, District 5 title game against Freedom.
Meeks was hobbling again after last Thursday's return, having bumped his injured leg during the Panthers' 31-17 win over Evans. He turned the wrong way on a hand-off and running back Eric Harrell tripped over his injured leg.
"It felt real good to get back out there," Meeks said after the win over Evans. "I'd been waiting to get back out there ... now I'm able to move a little bit and feeling good."
So he should be good to go Friday night as the 8-0 Panthers look to stay unbeaten.
Meeks, a senior who is committed to Cincinnati for the 2013 recruiting class, said recently that his commitment is still solid with the Bearcats, but he did take an official visit to Iowa State this past weekend, checking out the scene in Ames.
"I really enjoyed it," said Meeks, who also said that he spent a little bit of time with redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Richardson, of Winter Park during his trip.
Meeks, who was also in Tallahassee for Florida State's game with Boston College two weeks ago on an unofficial visit, hung out a bit with Shawn Curtis of Olympia, who was also on an official visit to Ames. Curtis was hosted by former Jones offensive lineman Duaron Williams, who is redshirting during his freshman season at Iowa State.
Following Friday's game with Freedom, Meeks will be taking another official visit Saturday, this time to Cincinnati.

It's Good To Be Kings
Who is more grossly materialistic, Kanye or Jay-Z?
The first thing even minimally class-conscious listeners will notice about Watch the Throne—the highly anticipated collaboration between Kanye West and Jay-Z—is how obsessed it is with status in general and brands in particular. Benzes, Louboutins, Basquiats, and sundry other signifiers of wealth clog up almost every verse on the record, no matter which star is on the mic. The boasting isn't limited to the lyric sheet, either. The album's cover is graced with the classiest possible form of glitz: a design from Riccardo Tisci, he of the house of Givenchy. The whole thing seems like a rich-person sandwich straight out of an old Soviet propaganda movie—the filling made from a rare animal's bone marrow, nestled between truffles coated with a sugar glaze, all of it stuffed between slices of bread stolen from the proletariat. Gross, right?
The gaudiness of Watch the Throne would have raised eyebrows during any week in recessional 2011, though it seemed especially discordant the week after S&P's downgrading of America's credit-worthiness. Hua Hsu, in an essay for Grantland, noted the album's reliance on "income-gap raps," while no less an authority than Chuck D crafted a response video to the Otis Redding-sampling "Otis," called "Notice." "Millions, billions, trillions/ whips wheelin'/ is a million miles from what people's feelin," Chuck admonishes (after opening with a de rigueur "no disrespect" to our "rap heroes"). Can Watch the Throne really be this blind to what's going on in the world outside the Mercer?
Perhaps. But there are two kinds of rich man's rhymes on this album, and it's worth understanding how they differ. Just because both men talk about their riches doesn't mean they're talking about them in the same way.
Kanye, depressingly, seems to be content with his shopping list as an end in itself. The guy who once backed up his Katrina-era criticism of Bush 43 by promising to ask his manager how much he could donate to victims now appears to be drained of whatever empathy he once possessed. He posits a "new religion" on the opening song "No Church in the Wild," a religion in which there will be no sexual sin "as long as there's permission" from the women in his threesomes. He then goes on to diss teachers and preachers for refusing to admit that monogamy is a drag. It's a far cry from the self-critical analysis of materialism and selfishness that he offered on 808s and Heartbreak. Further back, during the days of "Jesus Walks," West told us he hoped for salvation through prayer. Now, on "Otis," he says he knows he's never going to hell—because he wrote "Jesus Walks."
So, in a reversal of sorts, it's up to the normally unflappable Jay to have some trouble on his mind. While Kanye's verse on "Made in America" is about overcoming mockery at the hands of the South Park guys, Jay shouts out a conception of American success that extends beyond his own private Manifest Destiny. Of all the fine things Jay informs us he has enjoyed, he sounds most grateful to have once tasted his grandmother's banana pudding. He isn't just showing us that he remembers where he comes from; he's also letting us know that he can still find value, and sustenance, in something other than a luxury brand. Later in the track, we even catch a glimpse of him wondering whether he can pass on anything as authentic and homegrown as that pudding to his own children.
"The scales was lopsided/ I'm just restorin' order" Jay says of his capitalistic rise. But he also recognizes that his own success is not enough. On "Murder to Excellence," he says, "Only spot a few blacks the higher we go. … We're gonna need a million more." (Kanye joins him in that sentiment, briefly, before departing to buy Gucci shoes at the mall.) In "Welcome to the Jungle," Jay notes how our institutions are ill-disposed to address the inequality that rests at the heart of his verses. "Where the fuck is the press?/ Where the fuck is the Pres?/ Either they know or don't care/ I'm fucking depressed." For all his bragging about "planking on a million," it's good to see that Jay knows there's some dirt that can't so simply be brushed off the national shoulder.
Especially since Kanye's runaway solipsism has vitiated his occasional ability to make a decent point. On the song "New Day," Kanye revisits (again) the pain of his Katrina-Bush moment, revealing that it's left him so jaded that he's done trying to do the right thing. Like Jay, Kanye is also thinking here about what he'll pass on to his children—but all he can come up with is bitterness. Of his future son West says: "And I'll never let him hit the telethon/ Even if people dyin and the world ends." In an earlier line, Kanye issues a sarcastic promise to make his son a Republican "so everybody know he love white people."
Both Kanye and Jay-Z are to some degree in thrall to a state of mind that John Keats once described as the "egotistical sublime," though only the latter is aware that acquisition for its own sake isn't enough. Jay not only makes Watch the Throne tolerable—he also suggests another way of thinking about the title. With Kanye, the gaze goes in one direction: We're meant to look at his throne while the MC barks out verses "that I hope will hurt you." Jay doesn't mind us looking at the king, precisely, but he's not above taking a second look at the structure that props him up—and with a critical eye.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Google has agreed to pay a $17 million settlement to end a suit over circumventing privacy settings in Apple's Safari browser, officials say.
The suit brought by 37 states and the District of Columbia said in 2011 and 2012 Google secretly stored web tracking cookies in Safari, overriding Apple's default settings that prohibited such third-party cookies from being installed.
"By tracking millions of people without their knowledge, Google violated not only their privacy, but also their trust," New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement.
New York will receive $899,580 of the settlement money, The Verge reported Monday.
In response to similar complaints from the Federal Trade Commission last year, Google agreed to another settlement of $22.5 million.
In both cases, Google maintained its storing of cookies was the result of a technical error.
"We work hard to get privacy right at Google and have taken steps to remove the ad cookies, which collected no personal information, from Apple's browsers," the company said in a statement.

I have a college football game coming up and I want to wear something that's pol
Much like school reunions, college football games are a great time to tap into your spirited, younger self and showcase your super-evolved, successful present self. In both cases you need to look effortlessly put-together, but for a football game you also have the unique challenge of creating a walking-friendly look that's casual enough for the venue. Don't stress: here are two surefire outfits that will not only be appreciated by your old roommates, but will also send your college crushes spinning! Must-Try Look #1: Athletic-inspired top + cropped jeans + pointy flats. Now, by "athletic top," we don't mean a sports jersey! Instead, embrace the sporty trend seen all over the runways and find a flattering, relevant top that plays perfectly to this occasion. That can mean a contrast-stripe t-shirt, a baseball-inspired crewneck, or even a letterman-style tee or sweater. We also love a thin, slightly shrunken sweatshirt that sits just above your waistline; just be sure to push or roll the sleeves up. Add cropped jeans-look for a skinny, clean silhouette in medium blue, dark blue, or black-that fit perfectly and are cropped or cuffed to show your ankles, and comfy but totally French-chic pointy flats. Must-Try Look #2: Plaid flannel + cords + penny loafers. Nothing says "fall football game" like a plaid flannel shirt; it's a classic piece that comes back in style every year. We like the idea of a Western-style top or something with buffalo checks, and feel free to layer a cabin-inspired sweater over your plaid shirt if you need some extra warmth. As for your pants, go for some "Yay! It's fall!" cords in a washed-and-worn neutral, like dove grey or cream, or if you prefer colour, try mustard, bordeaux, or navy. The final touch? Penny loafers! They may feel scholastically ironic, but in the most fashionable way-we promise. Classic brown is a no-fail option, but we've also been charmed by deep reds, blues, and metallics too. Just pick whatever feels best on your feet and you'll be ready to Go! Fight! Win!

Shell-mode gives access to a shell in a normal emacs buffer, meaning you can move around and edit it as usual. A drawback is that you can not launch programs like htop or other ncurses ones, like you would in term-mode.
M-x shell
Look at the menu: you have several keys to interact with the shell. Some of them are:
- [M-p] previous input of command line
- [C-c r] go to beginning of output (useful when you have a large output and want to read through the beginning)
- [C-c-p] go to beginning of previous output group
- [C-c-c] send the C-c command to the shell
- [C-c-o] delete the output of last command
To launch a shell in the directory of the current buffer, have a look to shell-here: https://github.com/ieure/shell-here (available through ELPA).
re-execute successive commands
Often it is useful to reexecute several successive shell commands that were previously executed in sequence. To do this, first find and reexecute the first command of the sequence. Then type [C-c C-x], that will fetch the following command--the one that follows the command you just repeated. Then type RET to reexecute this command. You can reexecute several successive commands by typing [C-c C-x RET] over and over.
More colors
If you have bad colors in the output, try using ansi-mode:
(require 'ansi-color) (defun colorize-compilation-buffer () (toggle-read-only) (ansi-color-apply-on-region (point-min) (point-max)) (toggle-read-only)) (add-hook 'compilation-filter-hook 'colorize-compilation-buffer)
You can highlight some text based on regexp (useful to see "OK" or warnings):
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (highlight-regexp "\\[OK\\]" "hi-green-b")))
Make URLs clikable
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (goto-address-mode )))
Make file paths clickable
Every line representing a path to a file will be colorized and made clickable, so that you can jump to that file and that line, like in compilation-mode (specially useful when compiling a program or running tests):
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'compilation-shell-minor-mode)
Now you can use key bindings from the mode: use [C-x `] (or M-x next-error) (backquote) to go to the next error detected in the shell. You can't do that in an xterm !
Change directory with ido-mode
Using ido's completion system for changing directories is a big gain in usability and efficiency for emacs' shell. I urge you to check this Stack Overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20952995/emacs-shell-change-directory-with-ido

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A Pacific Northwest grain terminal that locked out its union workers last week has sued a union official it accuses of damaging company equipment. The union representing the longshore workers quickly condemned the lawsuit.
In a filing Feb. 28 in Clark County Superior Court, United Grain Corp. accused Todd Walker of Vancouver of causing more than $300,000 in damage.
The lawsuit contends that last Dec. 22, Walker tried to halt production by throwing a pipe into a conveyer and damaged a gear box by pouring sand into it, The Columbian reported (http://is.gd/lIECUR).
Walker served on the union's contract bargaining team and as an elected member of the local union's labor relations committee, the lawsuit said.
International Longshore & Warehouse Union spokeswoman Jennifer Sargent said in a statement that the company is "publicizing unproven accusations against a single worker in order to cover for its own illegal lockout of an entire workforce." The union is confident the accusations will prove groundless, she said.
Walker was not immediately reachable for comment. Sargent said Monday night he was not available for interviews.
An independent police investigation of the accusations continues, Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp said. No arrests have been made.
United Grain, part of the Japanese conglomerate Mitsui & Co., locked out its union workers at the Port of Vancouver on Feb. 27 after saying it had evidence that a union worker had committed acts of sabotage.
Union members have picketed since then as company managers and replacement workers operate the export terminal.
The alleged sabotage took place shortly before contract talks between the longshore union and three grain-shipping corporations were declared at an impasse and the firms implemented the terms of their final offer. The previous contract expired Sept. 30.
More than a quarter of all U.S. grain exports move through nine grain terminals on the Willamette River and Puget Sound. The contract dispute initially involved six terminals that operate under a single collective bargaining agreement with the ILWU: United Grain, based in Vancouver; Columbia Grain, based in Portland; Louis Dreyfus Commodities, which has grain elevators in Portland and Seattle; and Temco, which has elevators in Portland and Tacoma, Wash.
Columbia Grain and LD Commodities said they have no plans to join the lockout.
The U.S.-owned Temco broke from the alliance in early December and negotiated separately with the union. A five-year agreement was announced recently.
The ILWU has asked United Grain, Columbia Grain and LD Commodities to restart contract talks, saying the Temco deal "signifies the union's commitment to reaching a deal that maintains American industry standards and working conditions while addressing the concerns that elevator operators bring to the table."
Pat McCormick, a spokesman for the grain handlers, said Monday the group hasn't seen the Temco contact but wants to review it before deciding whether to restart negotiations.
The sticking points have been workplace rules and management rights — not money.

Grilled Asparagus Salad - Bacon, Parmigiano, Poached Egg, Balsamic
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I think asparagus is best when grilled. Some really luscious ingredients help accent it - the bacon, parmigiano, and poached egg with its awesome runny yolk. The balsamic vinaigrette brings acidity to the dish.
Great as a salad appetizer to a dinner or as brunch! —VivekS
Serves: 4
For the salad
bunch asparagus, trimmed and peeled
teaspoon white vinegar
strips of thick cut bacon, cut into lardons
cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, curled with a vegetable peeler
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
For the Balsamic Vinaigrette
cup balsamic vinegar
teaspoon dijon mustard
cup extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
- Toss the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill asparagus for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely marked and tender. Take off the grill and set aside.
- Bring a large, wide pan filled with water to a simmer. Season the water with the vinegar – this will ensure the egg whites coagulate around the yolk when you poach the eggs. Crack the eggs and put them into individual bowls (or crack one at a time). When the water returns to a simmer, use a slotted spoon and start stirring the water clockwise until there is a bit of a vortex in the middle of the pot. Drop one egg into the middle of the vortex and watch as the egg white comes to surround the yolk. Let the egg cook for about 3 minutes, and then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. At this point, your egg is almost perfectly cooked. Repeat with remaining eggs. When you are ready to serve, insert the eggs back in the poaching liquid for about 45 seconds so they warm all the way through. This will result in great, runny yolks. If you want a hard yolk, just cook it longer, for about 2 minutes.
- Whisk together the balsamic vinegar and dijon mustard. Slowly stream in the olive oil, while whisking, to emulsify the dressing. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon by putting it in a cold pan over medium heat. Keep turning bacon, every few minutes, so it is evenly cooked, the fat renders, and it is crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- To assemble the dish, lay a few asparagus spears on the plate. Top the asparagus with the poached egg. Scatter the bacon around the plate. Using a vegetable peeler, curl some long pieces of parmigiano cheese around the other ingredients. Spoon some of the vinaigrette over the salad and around the plate.

Primarily associated with romance. Legend; History on the introduction and acceptance of almonds into Italian cuisine, more recent takes on the meanings and origins have come about, further popularized by the two major brands. Though of sometimes questionable f actuality, these tales hold a sentimental place in Saronno culture.
1" natural cones, Approximately 250 to 325 cones per pound. Sold in bulk by the pound.
Many people find cones to be their preference as a way to burn incense. The cones are wood base (natural). 1" cones burn approx 12 to 18 minutes while the 2" cones will burn 25 to 35 minutes. However most people prefer the 1" cone over the 2" cone in that it will create the desired effect.
Directions: Light the small tip with a match or lighter, burn until the tip glows. Place on a plate or bowl with about a 1/4" of sand or salt so it will not burn what is underneath it,as cones burn very hot. Also by placing them on sand or salt you will get to burn more of the cone since moisture will not be absorbed.
Astral Sea makes and packages 6 varieties of packaged incense sticks. Most of our products can be found packaged or bulk.

The water levels of Lake Mead are rising. For the first time in over ten years, the water is headed up not down and although no one wants to celebrate too soon, it's worth popping a little bubbly for.
The water problem in Las Vegas has been a concern for years and the main solution has been water conservation. In 2007 we blogged about a Water Smart Congress and Las Vegas has been focusing their efforts to ease the water problem. Clark County continues to be applauded and awarded for it's various conservation practices including the tax credits for converting to desert landscaping and the enforcement of water schedules and practices. Way to go!
Analysts believe that the rising levels of Lake Mead will only continue until the end of the year. Heavy snowfall has accounted for the level increase and only time and Mother Nature will tell what will happen this next season. As it stands with the current rate of water rising, Lake Mead will be around 50% capacity. Not yet enough to start splurging on our water usage.
Conservation programs are continually being tweaked and new ideas are being birthed as the promise to climb out of this decade of drought is uncertain. My contribution? Take fewer baths and shorter showers, keep the inside instead of the outside of my car squeaky clean and order beer instead of tap water at the local watering hole.

PowerVR technology-based PowerVR MBX Embedded Graphics Accelerators to support the OpenGL ES standard for embedded systems
CAMBRIDGE, UK AND LONDON, UK – Feb. 23, 2004 – Imagination Technologies, and ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, announced today at the 3GSM World Congress, Cannes, France, compliance with the OpenGL ES standard in PowerVR MBX graphics accelerator cores.
The OpenGL ES (OpenGL for Embedded Systems) standard is an open standard, graphics application programmer interface (API) between software applications and hardware or software graphics engines. It is derived from the widely supported desktop OpenGL standard.
By adding OpenGL ES driver support to the PowerVR MBX product line, Imagination Technologies and ARM have made it easier to access the enhanced 3D graphic performance, high-end feature set and enhanced rendering capability offered by this unique architecture which is ideally suited to embedded environments.
"With the OpenGL ES standard, a programmer can write a program that requires graphics support completely independent of the underlying mechanism that actually produces the graphics output – be it hardware or software," said Ed Plowman, 3D Graphics program manager, ARM. "The OpenGL ES standard will substantially simplify and improve the cost effectiveness of offering advanced and graphically rich software for mobile and embedded systems. This is particularly useful to developers producing mobile games, as they now have a common method of access a platforms graphics capability. This significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to target and optimize for new platforms."
John Metcalfe, VP Business Development (PowerVR), Imagination Technologies said: "The next generation of mobile phones and PDAs will require PowerVR MBX's advanced graphics performance and capabilities to enable the applications needed to draw in new consumers and maintain the phone-replacement market. PowerVR is committed to the development of open standard APIs that allow manufacturers to incorporate these new graphics capabilities into their products. The PowerVR MBX family with OpenGL ES support lets manufacturers engage with software and application developers now to enable this vital content."
"OpenGL ES is an important component of an overall strategy for rich downloadable 3D gaming in the Java environment," said Dr Mike Grant, vice president, Marketing at 3D Games and Technology specialists, Superscape. "Superscape is working closely with Imagination and ARM to increase still further the richness of 3D gaming on Java mobile handsets through the use of our Mobile 3D Graphics engine, Swerve, running on top of OpenGL ES enabled MBX."
Bill Pinnell, Multimedia and Games Product Strategist, Symbian said: "The combination of PowerVR MBX, Symbian OS and OpenGL ES will allow handset manufacturers to support the advanced multimedia content which will drive the next market cycle. The provision of this open standard graphics API on Symbian OS with underlying 3D hardware acceleration such as PowerVR MBX provides developers and handset manufacturers with a dramatic increase in multimedia capabilities and is an important step forward for the market."
"OpenGL ES, combined with high performance graphics acceleration cores such as the ARM MBX, represent a major milestone for the games industry and will dramatically raise the bar for rich mobile gaming," said Adrian Sack, CEO, Ideaworks3D. "Together with our ARM MBX optimized Segundo3D™ platform, which allows rapid and picture perfect porting of PC and console games to mobile platforms, major game publishers now have an unparalleled opportunity to bring a wave of 3D blockbuster games to mobile devices that will take the industry by storm."
MBX cores are based on Imagination Technologies' unique PowerVR tile-based rendering architecture, which enables a very small die to deliver higher performance and higher image quality at lower power consumption. The MBX architecture has been specifically designed to reduce memory traffic making it ideal for use with the unified memory architectures (UMA) found in today's highly integrated systems. The unique MBX architecture also enables complex features to be supported in a single rendering pass, improving overall image quality through increased performance and the reduction of wasted bandwidth.
PowerVR MBX 2D and 3D accelerators are available now and offer very high quality, full-featured, high performance graphics acceleration for embedded and mobile devices. They are suited to applications in wireless devices and PDAs, as well as automotive and consumer applications. MBX cores are based on the PowerVR 3D technology from Imagination Technologies.
OpenGL ES drivers for PowerVR MBX graphics cores will be available in March 2004.

Abbot Kinney: Founder of Venice
A long, long time ago, way back in the years before you could spend a day gliding in and out of chic boutiques and sipping green juice on Abbot Kinney Blvd; you could spend a day being poled around Venice in a gondola. No really!
Abbot Kinney, (the man not the street) to whom Venice owes its very existence, was an eccentric, dreamer extraordinaire and cigarette heir (1850 -1920) who founded the city in 1904 with the hopes that it would become the hub of an American cultural renaissance.
Kinney envisioned a cultural theme park, based on the city of Venice, Italy, and complete with imported gondoliers to transport people around!
Venice of America
The canals, lagoon and Venetian style buildings were all thanks to his dream. "Venice of America," as he called it, opened on July 4th 1905. The park featured a Ferris Wheel, a hydrogen filled balloon, the Rapids water ride and other diversions to thrill the public.
Unfortunately for Kinney, his desire to revive art and culture did not take off as desired. By December 1905 he knew that this dream of a cultural mecca was never going to be realized. Being the astute businessman he was, Abbot Kinney turned his attentions to what the public wanted, and Venice came to be known as the "Playland of the Pacific."
While not at all in keeping with his original vision, Venice was transformed into a dazzling amusement park that made a tidy profit. There was a full sized amusement pier and a miniature steam railroad ran around the entire park.
Venice of America
Sadly the majority of the canals were eventually paved over in 1929 for roads as the automobile dominated. It was not until the 1990s that Los Angeles refurbished the six remaining canals and created what you can see today.
Three miles of idyllic waterways, beautiful villa-style homes with flowery gardens and some of the most stunning (and expensive) property on LA's Westside.
While Abbot Kinney's cultural dream may have evaporated in his time, Venice Beach did emerge as a cultural and artistic community, arguably the most unique area of Los Angeles for bohemian living. The entrepreneur would also probably be thrilled to find one of Venice's most individual and unique streets bearing his name. Abbot Kinney Blvd has staved off brand names for the most part and remains over brimming with one of -a -kind galleries, boutiques, vintage stores and acclaimed restaurants.

?Sitorius was an active member of the United Methodist Church since she was 12 years old, and was proud of the fact that she was a member of the same church for 88 years, according to family members. She served as an eighth grade Sunday school teacher for 10 years and held many offices in the women's society of Christian Service on the local, district and conference levels, and attended jurisdiction committees.
?She also served as past-president of the Gothenburg Women's Club, and along with her husband, served as leaders of a 4-H club for 10 years. She was also a past member of the Eastern Star for over 60 years.
?Sitorius was preceded in death by: her husband, Raymond in 1996; her parents, John and Cora; a brother, John Greene; two sisters—Ila Greene and Irma Pearson; son-in-law, Duane Haberman.
Survivors include: two daughters—Virginia (Hugh) Osmera of Los Alamitos, CA, and Barbara Haberman of Hertford, NC; son, George (Marcia) Sitorius of Gothenburg; nine grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren; two sisters-in-law—Trudy Greene and Eleanor Sitorius; numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorials are suggested to the Oi Sitorius Memorial Fund for Stone Hearth Estates: 110 W. 20th St., Gothenburg, NE 69138.

Live from the Kimmel Center Plaza and
Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
This Month, XPN Free At Noon is On The Road
Live from the Kimmel Center Plaza and PIFA
With her early works teaming with folk and jug band styles, Eilen Jewell has since explored everything from country gospel, blues, R&B and even 60's inspired garage rock.
Her story begins as early as age 7, when the singer-songwriter became increasingly fascinated by classical music. Picking up her first guitar at 14, she went straight to writing songs and performing them at local farmers' markets and bars. Now in her early 30's, she has become far more than just a local talent. After she released her official debut Boundary County in 2006, Jewell was instantly compared to the likes of Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, a comparison that holds true due to her emotional voice and heartpouring writing style. Today, she is a national favorite.
Since her last album, Eilen Jewell went to a small cabin in Idaho where, enclosed in isolation, she crafted a particularly moody and somber upcoming album. Calling the album, and in essence herself, Queen of the Minor Key, she wears her somber mood with utmost pride. And with the help of various guests for her backup band, her goal to make this record "even more real, more heartfelt, than the one before it," has become a reality. The album is set for release this coming June, and we are glad to have her welcome the stage for this week's XPN Free at Noon performance, live from the Kimmel Center Plaza and Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts on April 15, 2011.
Eilen Jewel also appears at Sellersville Theater Friday night, April 15 at 8:00pm.

Cursed (HK - DVD)
A seemingly harmless grocery store. An innocent schoolgirl heroine. And a man without a face. Something's amiss in this new l...
This review is sponsored by
I have a great fondness for East Asian cinema. The works of the great auteur/actor 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano are some of the best films in my collection, and I have had the opportunity to review various good movies, not least Wong Kar-wai's 2046 and the visual extravaganza Casshern. In terms of horror, the fantastic Ring trilogy spawned a great deal of Japanese copies and subsequent remakes, and still stands as some of the best new horror around. Following on from it we got Dark Water, The Grudge and The Eye movies, and most of them have been remade—quite successfully, even if not up to the standard of the originals.
Cursed is an extremely low budget Japanese horror. When I say low budget, I mean that I could afford to produce the movie. That in itself does not mean it has to be bad—most of the horrors that I mentioned were not especially big in budget—but it does not help that it is quite so cheap. Shot with what looks like a camcorder—or at least a low-quality digital camera—it centres on a small shop that appears to be haunted. I'm not entirely sure that there is a plot as such, but basically we follow the daily occurrences in the store, mainly focussing on a part-time worker at the store who starts to see weird things happening in it, nominally involving a big black crow. The only other person to share these experiences is a woman who comes to inspect the store with a view to buying it up as part of her company's franchise. However, neither of them actually does a great deal about these things, instead just fretting about it from time to time. The shop's current owners are a weird pair who act strangely but don't seem to notice anything wrong with the joint—or themselves.
Starting with a somewhat random bus accident, which is never explained other than 'it's something to do with the shop'—we see increasingly weird things happen involving random high pitched noises, strangers lurking in hoods, clocks not working, demented fridges and kamikaze birds. None of them are in the least bit original, and none of them are in the least bit scary. Although the two female leads are not horrendous actresses—nor are they particularly harsh on the eye—they do have some tough material to contend with here and I give them credit for keeping a straight face at times.
One of the biggest problems with this movie is the fact that the subtitles are so poorly done. I don't think that there was a single coherent sentence over the entire ninety-minute duration. Words were misused, misspelled or simply made up. 'Worryness' is not a word. The translation is actually so bad that you have to laugh—otherwise you would just cry. And laughing in a straight horror is seldom intended. The end result is that any possible enjoyment that you could gleam from this movie is largely sapped by your irritation at having to translate the translations into sensible English. As it is, I am not sure that there is much good that I can talk about in respect to this movie, which I find a real shame when doing a review. Japanese horrors are renowned for their originality, whereas this film had very little original about it—one scene in particular looked like it was taken straight from a well-known zombie movie—and a low-budget film lacking in originality simply has nothing going for it.
Cursed is presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer that is reasonable if far from exemplary. Sure most of the criticisms can be levelled more at the footage shot rather than the way it has been presented, but it is difficult to judge one without looking at the other. The picture is relatively solid, with reasonable clarity but sharpness that lapses into softness more often than you would like. There is a light sheen of grain that occasionally graces the print, but largely the transfer remains grain-free. Similarly we somehow manage to avoid most print damage—there is no sign of dirt, dust or other damage here. It is not a particularly bad transfer, but it can only be as good as the quality of the movie it is representing and in this case, the low budget footage leaves a lot to be desired.
We get a whole myriad of audio tracks with this release, three of them in the original language—Japanese. The DTS track is obviously the best, but that does not really mean a great deal as the film has not got the best material to present here. The score is simple enough, and presented adequately, and the vocals are always clear and comprehensible, mainly coming from the fronts. I noted little bass, which is a bit of a shame for a DTS track, but there were a few nice effects that made a bit more of the six-speaker surround sound. The Dolby 5.1 track is a pretty-much standard affair, only marginally different from the DTS offering, but both are leagues ahead of the rather limited Dolby 2.0 track. In addition we get a dubbed Dolby 5.1 Chinese track.
There are two extras: a ten-minute collection of interviews with the main cast and crew (oddly enough given slightly better subtitling than the main feature) and a trailer for the companion feature, Tokyo Horror.
I have read other reviews of this film and they generally appear to see a completely different side of the movie that I just did not reach. From my perspective it is a below-budget tawdry affair that plays on the popularity of the much more decent genre originators like The Ring trilogy, but devout fans of said genre might excuse any cheapness in production or content just to sate their appetite. From a technical standpoint, the disc has loads to offer but—more often than not—fails to deliver, with an average presentation generally let down by the material, several lacklustre audio tracks and a few measly interviews that, I supposed, are better than nothing. I can't really recommend the movie, but if you've simply run dry of other Tokyo horrors to watch then I guess you could give it a rental.
You can purchase Cursed for $10.90 from top retailer Play-Asia.
