Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by bleach, Apr 20, 2010.
hay friend,i know some of you using multiple monitor.
How to make it?
what is the requirement?
I just added PCI video cards and enabled each one. Very easy to do.
i currently have 2 monitors hooked up to a desktop and 1 monitor hooked up to a laptop, and then i linked the computers together with Synergy to make a nice 4-screen workstation
if your using any windows xp, vista, or windows 7 it is just a matter of adding more videocards and plugging in the monitors. There are additional programs you can add to get more features, but you don't really need them.
Just add the video cards, let plugnplay install them, then just go into display properties to set the screen resolution for each monitor and assign how they are positioned in relation to each other. Once you set it up, you'll be amazed at how easy it is.
Once you start using them, you'll wonder how you got by for so long without them. It takes productivity to a whole new level.
FIRST, your power supply has to support it. I installed a 650 Watt. I've installed a vga-dvi-hdmi video card. there are several combinations. HDMI is the best connection.
I have two 22" HP Brightview monitors. Stunning clarity and you see stuff you can't with other inferior monitors.
for example
monitor a i open bhw,Does monitor B show bhw too?
how to make each monitor does different program?
You can set it up either way. You can make the monitors just clone each other like you said, where monitor A just shows the same as monitor B, But that is really pointless except in cases like using a large screen for a presentation in a classroom or something, while you are working on the smaller monitor.
The most likely way that you will use it, is to have all the screens be independent, monitor A will not be showing the same as monitor B, you will just extend your desktop across both monitors.
What it allows you to do is open multiple windows, and rather than keep bringing a window forward from the back when you need to see it, you will just move that window onto a different screen. What it does is give you a lot more desktop real-estate. It's especially great for doing research, and also for things where you want to cut and paste from one window to another.
It all just works like one giant desktop, your mouse just moves from one screen to the next, and you can even drag and drop windows or icons across the screens. But when you maximise a window, it will just maximize to whichever monitor it is on. Seriously, if the thought has crossed your mind then you should just give it a try. Especially if you have an extra monitor and video card laying around. If you like it, (which you will) then you can go buy a better monitor if you like.
I'm using a 27" widescreen monitor for my main screen, and then a 19" on the left side and a 20" on the right side. I have my task bar locked onto the bottom of the right screen. I have my desktop shortcuts divided between the screens to organize them a little. The shortcuts I use the most are on the screen I use the least. I do most of my work on the center screen, most of my research on the right screen, and then I use the left screen for things I want open that I don't need to look at as much, but I want them handy.
Once you set it up it will take you all of about one minute to get the hang of it, and after about 10 minutes you'll be amazed that you were ever able to do anywork without them.
edit - I even set up a second monitor on my wife's pc. Her main screen is a 19" and I had an old 15" so I set it up to the right of her main screen. She can play her games on the main screen and then if she wants to look at anything online she'll just bring it up on the second monitor without having to stop her game. It wasn't that long ago that she could barely even use a computer, and she has no problems with the two screens at all. XP and up is designed to make it all work seamlessly.
Also you don't need a fancy stand like in the pic you showed. Just set them up on your desk with their regular stands. If the stands aren't the same heights then just put some books under them to get the screens all adjusted where you want. I like to keep them close together so I don't see space between the screens, I have my side screens slightly angled and the edges go behind the edge of my center screen. It just makes it feel a little more seamless when I'm moving the mouse from screen to screen. After you hook them all up to the pc, you will set up in display properties which screen is the left right and center, just by dragging them around in the setup tab.
1.) Get a new ATi card
2.) Get Eyefinity
3.) ???
4.) Orgasm for them graphics.
may i know ur graphic card??
Do i need to buy special vga card for this feature?
thanks for ur answer,sorry i dont have big rep to give you
Hmmm... I want to connect 2x 25" HDMI monitors to a laptop, how do I figure out if the laptop will be able to support them? Connections is not a problem.. I'm going to use an HDMI to 2x DVI adapter and then 2x DVI to HDMI cords to connect the monitors... but I'm very curious if the laptop will be able to support 2 massive monitors in HD... when I worked at this software development firm the guy beside me had a 2x 24" monitors hooked up to a crappy IBM thinkpad and it worked fine... they weren't hooked up via hdmi/dvi though
PS - to the OP, most modern video cards support 2x monitors as they have 2x dvi ports and also come with dvi to vga adapters if you need them.
Post your laptop stats (CPU/GPU being the most important ones) and I'll tell you if it's possible. Although it will almost certainly be possible for just browsing around on the internet you don't want your entire laptop to crash if you simply watch a movie or edit a video right ?
just about any video card should work, just make sure it fits your system. You don't want to buy an AGP card if you only have available PCI slots for example.
As g111k says, many video cards now have multiple video ports. Usually you can just add one card that has 2 ports into your system, then those 2 ports + your motherboard vga port can be used to set up a 3 monitor system. If you have a couple open slots and some old single port vga cards, you can go that route too. Like I said it is very easy to do.
If you're a gamer then you might want to make sure you have a powerful cpu, and get some highend video cards and high resolution monitors. Many newer games will take advantage of multi monitors and let you have your main game view on the main screen, and have control views on the other screens. I'm not a gamer myself, but if you are it will take your game play to a whole nother level.
iam not gamer friend.
Well like I said, I'm not either. It doesn't matter though, the purpose of multiple monitors is to increase your productivity. If you're not a gamer then you have less to think about on it. That means you can keep the price down for your upgrade.
Just xp or newer os and some low-end to mid-range vga cards that are compatible with your pc are all that you'll need. oh and the monitors of course

From DIY solutions to professionalization!
Sam Gydé, head of dispatching and ICT of the Ghent Fire Station, talks about changes at the fire brigade.
When they receive the call, it is often an emergency: eliminating wasps, releasing someone trapped in a car after an accident, rescuing people who are drowning, or preparing safety precautions for somebody who threatens to jump off a roof. In cases like these, the fire brigade operates in high-stress levels and it is crucial for the brigade to arrive as fast and well-informed as possible to the emergency scene. The use of new Fleet Complete technologies enabled efficient back and forth communication between the brigade workers, who nowadays get all the necessary information quickly and reliably, and are able to deliver a prompt response with maximum efficiency thanks to the route optimization.
"The driver must always know what routes he can take to the incident or to the nearest hospital. Additionally, you would like to stay in touch with central control and be able to share information and status updates. When everyone is informed of the situation, central control knows the issue at hand and is able to dispatch the best available in any incident. Knowing the status of each vehicle is very important to us. Our entire planning depends on it."
- Sam Gydé , head of dispatching and ICT of the Ghent Fire Brigade
Reforms bring 'new era'
In order to achieve the important new reform at the fire brigade, it was essential to also deal differently with information provisioning. Sam Gydé, head of dispatching and ICT of the Ghent Fire Brigade says: "In the past, the fire fighter, who was called up, received a paper map on which the address was written of where they had to go. Navigation was not available in the vehicles. At the time, this was not much of a problem because all fire fighters were locals. Everyone knew the area like the back of their hands. Several years ago, a large reorganization occurred within the fire brigade. From 300 independent fire stations, we changed to 30 zones. Thus, where initially 300 stations did the coordination, we now only have 30 coordination locations. This results in a different way of working from what we were used to. Continuing in the old method of information provision would have resulted in a lot of stress and, eventually, victims. Due to this reorganization, the fire brigade serves a much bigger area, meaning that the fire brigade personnel is no longer familiar with the area. How can you assist them as much as possible? It is, therefore, important to look at equipment and ICT programs and update these, so that we can continue to build upon them."
ICT programs adapted to each other
The fire brigade was already actively investigating how 'ruggedized PCs' could be a benefit. These are special PCs that can be brought along when the fire brigade responds to an emergency; PCs that can handle a few knocks but are also a very expensive purchase. The Antwerp police pointed out its positive experiences with Fleet Complete to the fire brigade; they have special tools to allow the field employees to work as efficiently as possible, making use of apps for the tablet. "We were faced with a few main issues," Gydé indicates. "The driver must always know what routes he can take to the incident or to the nearest hospital. Additionally, you would like to stay in touch with central control and be able to share information and status updates. When everyone is informed of the situation, central control knows the issue at hand and is able to dispatch the best available in any incident. Knowing the status of each vehicle is very important to us. Our entire planning depends on it."
Linking and collaboration
In order to integrate the necessary updates, the ICT was put under a magnifying glass. "We went over our complete process with Fleet Complete. A number of things fitted in perfectly with the Fleet Complete app. Additionally, we made a link with our in-house systems. FieldMap in the Fleet Complete app ensures that we can accurately guide our field workers to the correct location. This occurs in combination with the GPS-tracking in the navigation system. We had to have a system that we can always depend on, no matter what happens. In collaboration with Ghent Fire Brigade ICT, Fleet Complete was able to create the link between the central back office and the systems in the vehicles. In addition to that, we can also see where the vehicle is, how fast the vehicle drives, whether the vehicle has its siren switched on and many other factors. The latter is important to refute misunderstandings about unnecessary speeding by the fire brigade," Gydé says.
Now every fire brigade vehicle has a tablet, so that the driver and passenger are supplied with all information during the trip to the incident. During the trip, the person primarily responsible reads out all information about the building and the area. "They know immediately what the situation is like on location, where the hydrants are and other crucial aspects to the situation. This way we can take immediate action. And acting fast saves lives," Gydé emphasizes.
Efficient dispatching and detailed reporting for fire brigades
Fire Brigade Intervention
Fast and adequate assistance in the digital age. The Fire Brigade Intervention module is an integrated system, consisting of software and hardware modules, ensuring more efficient dispatching with more overview regarding completed activities.
Insight into your field operations using the online real-time reporting tool
FieldDesk is the central online database part of all Fleet Complete software modules. All information from the MGS10, Time Tracker and FieldMobile app will be sent digitally to FieldDesk and translated into clear, transparent reports for management and administration.
Real-time location display
FieldMap will give you total insight into:
- All vehicles and employees on the map
- Either the name of the driver, the license plate or a name you generate
- Addresses on the map that are important to you, such as your customers, suppliers or projects
- Closest driver available to the appointed location
- Vehicle's driving speed and status, such as stationary or idling

If there's a press conference I like it's one with Patrick Dempsey.
The actor and racing enthusiast helped Porsche roll out its new 2017 Panamera Executive Editions at this week's Los Angeles Auto Show. The Executive Edition is a long-wheelbase version of the four-door. All you need is a chauffeur up front.
The Panamera 4 Executive Edition is the newest addition to the second-generation Panamera family rolled out earlier this year. It will come with all the drivetrains offered in the standard models including a plug-in hybrid – and then some. Now with an available V6-Turbo the Executive will pump out 330-horses, the 4S Executive 462-horses and the 4 E-Hybrid will deliver the most with 550-horses.
The other big news is of course the stretch factor. There are six more inches of legroom in the backseat. Yes you'll spend up and over the $100,000 mark for that extra space. Even more if you add in a driver.
If you do have the luxury of sitting in the back seat, you won't be short on entertainment. Every seat gets its own ten-inch infotainment touchscreen. They slide out and turn into tablets, too.
Look for the Panamera Executive trim on the Panamera 4, S, 4S, E-Hybrid and Turbo models early next year.

The CPD programme at Harris Academy Purley is centred around being personalised to the needs of each individual member of staff from teachers to classroom support and from technicians to the premises team. Too often CPD sessions are delivered to staff in a conference format where it is assumed that 'one size fits all'. In reality we know that this is not optimal for providing staff with the skills that they need to improve their practice and have the most impact possible on student progress and outcomes. Our comprehensive, rigorous and individualised CPD programme aims to address this:
Whole staff training on statutory requirements and academy priorities
- Twice each half-term staff will receive training on academy priorities for that academic year and statutory requirements such as safeguarding.
MER feedback through lesson observations, learning walks and book looks
- Each half-term SLT, Directors of Learning and Subject Leaders undertake lesson observations, learning walks and book looks. Based on these, formative feedback can be provided to staff with suggestions and strategies for them to improve their practice and have maximal impact on progress and outcomes for their students. Teachers also have regular opportunities to observe others across the school to identify 'golden nuggets' and implement these within their practice.
Cluster CPD sessions that staff sign up to based on their individual needs and wants
- Each half-term, staff sign up to one of a range of CPD sessions led by staff across the academy (not just the Teaching and Learning Team - to ensure the sharing of everyone's expertise). We also use practitioners from across the Harris Federation and external to the federation too. The sessions that run each half-term are a result of a staff consultation at the beginning of the academic year where individual CPD needs are submitted. Each of the sessions have clear 'takeaways' that staff can put into practice immediately. After trying these new strategies for a sustained period of half a term, staff are then asked to reflect and provide feedback on how their practice and student outcomes have improved as a result.
Department-specific CPD sessions based on departmental needs and wants
- At the beginning of the academic year, department teams meet and discuss what subject-specific CPD sessions they would like to run. These take place once every half-term and are either led by staff from within the department, outside the department to develop cross curricular links or specific aspects of practice, within the Harris Federation such as subject consultants, or external providers. As with the individual sign-up CPD sessions, each have clear 'takeaways' that staff can put into practice immediately. After trying these new strategies for a sustained period of half a term, staff are then asked to reflect and provide feedback on how their practice and student outcomes have improved as a result.
Action Research project
- All staff across the academy complete an Action Research project over the academic year. The aim is to improve an aspect of the individuals practice. Staff choose the focus for their project in consultation with their line manager. There are a number of structured sessions run throughout the year to guide staff through the process including: selecting a focus, clarifying theories, identifying research questions, collecting data, analysing data, reporting results, and taking informed action. In the second half of the summer term, staff present their Action Research projects in the academy hall in the form of a gallery walk. Staff therefore have the opportunity to read and comment on each other's projects, and take away further ideas to improve their own practice based on evidence that is contextualised and relevant to the academy.
Individual and departmental evaluation for the academic year and next steps
- At the beginning of the academic year, all teaching staff complete a review of where they feel they are against the Teachers' Standards. At the end of the year they are asked to review themselves again to see how much they have progressed and how much of an impact the personalised CPD programme has had. The impact will also be evident in terms of student progress and outcomes along with Performance Management reviews.
- Each department is given time towards the end of the academic year to work together to identify and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses over the year and put in place next steps to continue to improve for the next. This complements the requirements for each department to produce a Self-Evaluation Form (SEF) and a Departmental Development Plan (DDP).
- All staff are given the opportunity to provide honest feedback on the CPD programme so that changes can be made ready for the next academic year to ensure that it is as effective as possible.

Most reviewers of the current generation of DVD recorders are united in their approval of the quality of picture that most all DVD recorders can now produce, verifying that there is not much variation between the units manufactured. You may want to pay attention to repair records however, as you don't want an expensive repair bill or loss of use due to a return. Panasonic has a particularly admirable frequency of repair record, RCA and Apex do not.
There is a quality difference however, in the mode in which you record your video. Like the EP and SP on your VCR, there are higher quality modes that take up more disk space, and lower quality modes that allow you to record up to 8 hours. Industry reviewers note, however, that when you get beyond two hours of recording on a DVD, the picture quality degrades significantly.
The recorder will begin to record only every other horizontal pixel and the individual objects on the screen lose clarity. When you get to the resolution for a six hour recording you are only getting every other vertical pixel as well, and picture noise is magnified. Sometimes movement on screen becomes annoyingly jerky.

In our company, business end-users like SharePoint Explorer View for its usage familiarity with shared folders access. Our business end-users reported non-performance of the SharePoint Explorer View. It used to perform satisfactory, but since a while the responsiveness structural degraded. Taking 30 seconds or even minutes to open the Explorer View initial. On immediate retry, it typically opens direct. Wait a while, and the problem repeats itself.
It proofed problematic to establish the root cause of this performance degradation. SharePoint Explorer View functionality depends on a stack of IT components, local, network and SharePoint server side.
We identified – based on literature study (internet search), and own common sense – the following list of potential causes:
- Slow SharePoint processing (IIS, SharePoint code)
- Slow SharePoint content retrieval (SQL, storage)
- Slow or blocking network
- Slow authentication handling (NT Explorer as web client to SharePoint server, e.g. see Prompt for Credentials When Accessing FQDN Sites From a Windows system)
- Slow Web Proxy Auto Detection (see Explorer View very poor performance, Slow response working with WebDAV resources on Windows systems)
- SMB protocol blocked (Source: Microsoft Whitepaper "Understanding and Troubleshooting SharePoint Explorer View")
- Interference with IIS WebDAV Publication Service at SharePoint server (SharePoint – Open with Windows Explorer – problems, 5. WebDAV Publishing, and Explorer view does not work in some scenarios when the SharePoint farm is on Windows Server 2008 R2)
- Conquer with network requests from other local running programs
- Network requests blocked or delayed by anti-virus processing
- Slowness in local WebDAV client processing (Windows Explorer as WebDAV client)
- Outdated local Windows binaries (Explorer binaries (Shell32.dll), WebDAV binaries (Webclnt.dll, Davclnt.dll, Mrxdav.sys) & SMB binaries (Mrxsmb.sys, Mrxsmb20.sys, Rdbss.sys))
- Interference with Internet Explorer AddOn's
It was hard to identify whether any of the above really had the negative impact. This is in particular due that it is difficult to get the overall view on the processing of all the involved IT components: local, virus scanner, network, firewall, load-balancer, server side, SQL, storage, … In reality it boils down on inspecting the behaviour of each single component, and then try to correlate it with the behaviour of the other components to gain insight in the overall picture. We inspected IIS logs to detect whether the long times originated on SharePoint processing of the WebDAV protocol, but this did not result in rootcause identification. Then I applied Fiddler to detect what is going on over the wire. And as Fiddler is limited to http protocol, I also used Wireshark to dig deeper in on the wire level, and also including other protocols. None of these exercises did result in cause identification. If any investigation outcome, my cautious conclusion was that the delay is not on the wire nor SharePoint processing, but rather originates on the local client. To investigate that, I used ProcessMonitor; benchmarking scenarios with and without opening Explorer View. I did see some noticeable differences and thus suspects for the delay: AntiVirus processing, extensive additional operation of svchost.exe; but could not make either a final confirmation or refute of this as symptom or cause.
As the progress in problem investigation was stalled, we involved Microsoft Premier Support. The engineers started with investigating our captures on problem occurrences – Wireshark, Fiddler, Process Monitor, Netsh. Their initial analysis confirmed my own finding that it was not due network delay. Next suspect on the Microsoft list was local interference with AntiVirus filters. To conform or exclude this as cause, we uninstalled the AntiVirus on a test client. Afterwards, the problem still manifested on that test client. Via a renewed scan of the network captures, Microsoft identified a 3rd suspect: delay caused on local Webclient due provider priority handling with SMB protocol above WebDAV. I actually though of this myself a few weeks before, inspired by an old (2006!) whitepaper of Microsoft Services Support. The symptoms of our issue namely matched with what is described in that whitepaper. However, for unclear reason – lack of understanding the complexity of the WebClient handling, no trust in whitepaper given its age? – my suggestion on this as problem area was not in-depth investigated by our operations service provider. As now Microsoft suggested basically the same, I convinced our operations to conduct a pragmatic validation to determine or exclude it as the problem cause. The simple first test is to block ICMP traffic on the SharePoint farm, and then re-test the performance of SharePoint Explorer View. But also for this the results were negative: no performance improvement in Explorer View observed after blocking ICMP traffic.
We finally had a breakthrough when we noticed that the Explorer View slowness did not occur in infra scenario in which the laptop via VPN connects to our SharePoint farm. It was then a matter of identifying the differences in the IT stack of components of on-premisse access versus VPN. Also I made Wireshark captures of the 2 different infra scenarios. In the Wireshark captures we noticed that in the on-premisse scenario, the retrieval of the browser Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file repeatedly timed-out. In the VPN scenario, this effect did not occur. The explanation of this is the different network path to retrieve the PAC file, and that of the on-premisse situation included a blocking IT node (which actually is a cloud-hosted solution).
As it turned out, this was indeed the root cause. We resolved the blocking of the PAC file through caching it on the network perimeter, and immediate we regained the performance of SharePoint Explorer View.
Bonus: the last mile for accelerating Explorer View performance ...
With this infra correction, performance of using 'SharePoint Explorer View' is greatly improved: opens up almost immediately, < 1 second. That is, except for the very 1st time: that takes 4-6 seconds.
The cause of this is on Windows OS level: Windows Explorer utilizes WebClient component to connect via WebDav protocol. And the very 1st time this WebClient component must be instantiated / brought to live, what takes the additional 3-4 seconds.
If you also want to get rid of those seconds, you can set the startup mode of WebClient to 'automatic':

Q is for Queen Vic11:36 AM
It's time for the letter "Q" in the ABC challenge! I can't believe how fast these seem to be going by! This one was an easy choice for me because it's the only polish I own with the letter "Q" at the front! How does that happen? lol...it's a gorgeous color anyway. A rich wine shade that leans a little pinkish in certain lights. In my entire collection I don't own a single other polish of this color. This is two coats and like most of my butter London's, it's flawless even without any topcoat. I don't get into pinks and reds much but this one is a keeper for sure!
Do you have Queen Vic? Do you have any polishes that start with the letter "Q"?

(I swear if my peach fuzz were any thicker and darker, I could give an Elvis impersonator a run for his money.) There's no getting away from it: facial hair on a gal isn't attractive – unless you're Kitty Softpaws (Puss in Boots). So, in my quest for a fuzz-free, baby-smooth face, I researched the beauty world over, and here are my hair-raising findings:
What Is Facial "Peach Fuzz"?
Per Wikipedia, facial peach fuzz (Vellus hair) is short, fine, light-colored hair that usually has a blonde-ish, fuzzy appearance. Whether genetics or hormone related, some gals tend to have more than others. The most common places on the face include the sideburns/jaw region and upper lip area. So, while it's totally normal (read: you don't come from a long line of hairy cavemen), we gals want to be noticed for our eyes, not our facial fuzz. Well, the good news is you have a plethora of options to choose from.
Got It. How Do I Nix My Five O'Clock Shadow?
Over-the-counter: There are a slew of hair-removal creams offered (often called depilatories). This is certainly a cheaper option; however, sometimes these creams can be irritating if you have sensitive-prone skin. Results typically last three days, so you'll need to use it routinely if you want to maintain a smooth mug. Nair Hair Remover Cream offers several different options, including one for sensitive skin.
Laser: If you're looking for a more effective (and semi-permanent) option, laser is a strong contender. It's certainly a bit pricier than over-the-counter creams, but will last for 6 to 12 months. Laser hair removal isn't recommended for darker skin or super blonde hair, so if you fall into those categories you should consult with a specialist to see if you're a candidate. Typically, it takes around six to nine laser treatments (spaced a month apart) to achieve hair-free status. Then it's recommended to get a "touch-up" laser treatment once a year to keep the whiskers at bay. The price on laser treatments has come down in the past couple years and you can often find amazing package deals (e.g. six treatments for $900). Note: make certain you do your homework and find a recommended provider, ladies, as blistering (and even scarring) can occur if the specialist is inexperienced.
Electrolysis: This option provides permanent results, but can be a painful, long, and expensive option. What's the advantage of this choice versus laser? Electrolysis can be used on anyone (regardless of skin or hair color) because it attacks the actual hair follicle (versus the hair pigment). However, it can be timely. Each and every follicle has to be treated and 15 to 30 sessions may be required (versus six or so for laser hair removal). Also, it's more permanent. Laser reduces the hair count 40 to 80 percent (and you'll need an annual touch-up or two), whereas electrolysis is totally permanent. Which is better? That entirely depends upon you, your skin type, your pain threshold, and your budget. Do your homework and weigh the pros and cons of both options. If you have dark skin or light hair, then it's an easy choice as electrolysis is likely your only option.
Dermaplane: This procedure is one of my favorites. It's a noninvasive facial that 86's the dead skin cells (by "scraping" them away) and increases cellular turnover, leaving you with smooth, soft skin. And it provides an extra bonus in that it removes the fine hair on the face (ta, ta peach fuzz…hiya perfectly smooth skin). A Dermaplane facial runs around $150 a pop and will need to be done every couple of months to maintain hair-free status.
Threading: This hair removal technique has been around for centuries and has recently become a popular option. Basically, a thread is used on the face to force hairs out at the root. (I've seen this procedure in action and those threading specialists are like hair ninjas.). Although it sounds intense, it's an easy, painless process. And as threading is such a precise procedure, it can be used on eyebrows, sideburns, lip, chin (and even fingers and toes). To maintain hair-free results, it's recommended to do it every four to eight weeks (depending on your hair type).

BJP loses again; JD(S) main oppn party in Karnataka
After the BJP's maiden government in south India was routed in May 5 elections, the party on Wednesday lost its claim to the main opposition in the Karnataka assembly.india Updated: May 28, 2013 12:41 IST
After the BJP's maiden government in south India was routed in May 5 elections, the party on Wednesday lost its claim to the main opposition in the Karnataka assembly.
Despite securing the same number - 40 - of seats in the House, the saffron party lost the status to HD Deve Gowda's JD(S) on account of a tad lower vote share.
According to the Election Commission, the JD(S) had 20.09% vote share (62,69,907 votes) while BJP had a 19.97% vote share (62,32,595 votes) for their 40, each, MLAs.
Under Gowda's son and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, the JD(S) will now be, for the first time, the principal opposition party.
On Wednesday, Kumaraswamy said, "We would be a responsible opposition party and have our task cut out as the watchdog in the present situation. I have asked all my MLAs to watch out each department for any misdoings in the coming days."
The Congress bagged 121 seats in the 225-member assembly and is set to form the government under Siddaramaiah.
Meanwhile, the BJP selected former CM Jagadish Shettar as their leader, while former CM DV Sadananda Gowda would be its leader in the Legislative Council.
Sadananda Gowda said that his party would work positively for the development of the state.
CM Siddaramaiah, meanwhile, met national leaders in Delhi on Wednesday to finalise his cabinet of ministers. The names are likely to be finalised by Thursday.
KPCC chief G Parameshwara is also camping in Delhi since Tuesday.
More than 80 MLAs are also camping in Delhi to lobby for berths in the Siddaramaiah cabinet. A senior leader said the Karnataka Bhavan was packed with the MLAs.

We have never had it happen before, and who knows when we will have it again. We can still find a way to get more picks. We could add another 2nd or 3rd for one of our RBs. Even if Clausen ends up being great, you can never have too many great QBs. We could trade one away for another 1st rounder in a few years. We are several years away from being a great team, and why not take a few years to let 2 young QBs battle it out. At least that should be fun to watch. Add depth and a starter or 2 in free agency, get the franchise QB in the draft. Worry about the rest the next year! you do bring up a good point in that we could use all of our cap room to fill holes which would allow us to take Luck.

For a more in-depth analysis, please provide this info: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html
Let's start with the Hard Drive tests here: HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link) - Test ALL of the hard drives. Follow up with the rest of the tests at this link as time allows: Hardware Diags
Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on Win7 systems due to the sptd.sys driver.
Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ

Ok i followed The guide and here are the other Files made into Rar.
About the HD Diagnostic i don't have a CD-drive in my pc because my pc is build by myself. Didn't think i'd need a cd-drive :L
-Windows 7 ultimate 64x bit
- full retail version From retailer
- What is the age of system (hardware)?
Recently bought and build from loose parts all hardware is 2 months old
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)
Also 2 months old bought it recently and Reinstalled 2 days ago 22-1-2012
Btw : Do i need to post my Hardware Diags here aswell, And should i follow DuplexSecure Guide because, I don't have Alcohol % en neither do i have deamon tools I use virtual clone drive.
Regards, mike
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2012
For the hard drive test, just go to the Western Digital website and download the Data LifeGuard program for Windows.
WD Support / Downloads / SATA & SAS / WD VelociRaptor
You must run the Duplex Secure tool that I mentioned above because the sptd.sys driver is on your system. It is (IMO) the most likely cause of your BSOD's. It is not associated virtual clone driver, so it won't hurt it.
MSINFO32 shows these 2 problem devices:
USB-controller PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_1042&SUBSYS_84881043&REV_00\4&16B16BD2&0&00E7 De stuurprogramma's voor dit apparaat zijn niet geïnstalleerd.

Please visit the PC manufacturer's website. Download and install the drivers for your USB 3.0 controller, your chipset, and your memory card reader.

|24 Jan 2012
I used the Data LifeGuard program for Windows it says PASS.
Also Duplex Secure tool did find something a old sptd (1.62 ) not sure if it was that one forgot the name ,but it did indeed find something. Now im just gonna update chipset drivers and usb 3.0 but can i update them with drier checker , Or do i need to do this manually ?
Never mind i did them manually just to be sure they were latest drivers. does this mean my BSOD is history or will it come back eventually ?
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2012
All it means is that you've fixed most of the possible reasons for a BSOD on your system.
Now we wait.
In general we wait for a week longer than the time between BSOD's - that means that the problem is likely to be fixed.
Then, we wait another week (plus the time between BSOD's) and that usually means that the problem is probably fixed.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2012
Oooh oke.
hopefully That BSOD stays away !
Also if i get onother BSOD do i make another thread for it , Or just post here again .? cus I was thinking about marking this one as solved :)
|My System Specs

Don't mark it solved quite yet.

Sometimes the short acting pain meds are just not good enough for the pain that we go through. Most of us here take long acting meds...I take Methadone along with 30 mg. Oxycodone. Some take Morphine ER, Oxycontin, just to name a few. Maybe you should talk to your Dr. about puting you on a longer acting pain med and also a Breakthrough Pain med.
All you can do is tell them what is going on and be HONEST. If something isn't working they need to know. If they don't know what's going on how can they make it better?
Good Luck at your appt. and keep us informed.
It takes a while before we get the right mix of meds to help, so don't feel intimidated....

ASU's Sutton now a consensus All-American
Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton earned his latest honor Thursday when Sporting News and Walter Camp selected him as a first-team All-American, making the junior a consensus All-American.
Sutton had already earned All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). The NCAA recognizes the Sporting News, AFCA, Associated Press, Walter Camp Football Foundation and Football Writers Association of America for All-America honors. A player needs recognition by three of the five to be a consensus All-American. With a nod from all five, a player becomes a unanimous All-American.
With Thursday's announcements, Sutton is the 15th player in ASU history to be named a consensus All-American and the first since kicker Thomas Weber was recognized in 2007.
Sutton led the Pac-12 and ranked fifth in the nation in the regular season with 1.82 tackles for loss per game and 20 total on the season, including 10.5 sacks. He ranked third in the conference and 12th in the nation with 0.95 sacks per game.
Sutton missed two games with a knee injury midseason and sprained a toe in ASU's regular-season finale. He missed ASU's first three bowl practices but is expected to play in the Dec. 29 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. He's expected to make a decision about whether he will return for his senior season sometime after the game.
Here's a quick recap of Sutton's honors so far:
• Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year
• All-Pac-12 first-team Defense
• American Football Coaches Association first-team All-America
• CBSSports.com first-team All-America and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year
• Sporting News first-team All-America
• Walter Camp first-team All-America
• Athlon Sports first-team All-America
• Bednarik Award semifinalist

Recently my father sent me a rosary that belonged to my Great-Uncle Ray. This was not just any rosary; it had been given to my godfather by his mother (my great-grandmother) when he fought behind enemy lines during World War II. As a symbol of faith, this rosary, with its unique history, is a source of grace and empowerment to me in the daily challenges I face in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Five years ago, while I was a student at Georgetown Law School, a Jesuit fueled my passion to fight for human rights and social justice. During a study-abroad program in London, the late Robert Drinan, S.J., assured each of us that we could make a personal difference in working for justice in the world. Moved by his conviction, I felt called to public service. When I was commissioned an officer in the U. S. Navy's Judge Advocate General Corps, I knew I would be serving the nation and justice. Yet I had no idea that I would spend 2009 working in the most dangerous place on earth.
Everywhere I walk I keep that rosary with me. When I recently rode in a convoy through the streets of Kandahar to an outlying firebase, I was comforted by its presence in the shoulder pocket of my uniform. While I silently recite its prayers as we hold our breath along winding roads laced with improvised explosive devices, this palpable connection to my family's past represents a deep longing and trust I have for God and his protection.
No week goes by without the threat of rocket attacks. While the blaring alarms used to make my hands tremble, I have gotten somewhat used to them even though rockets sometimes find their mark. Not long ago two soldiers were injured here at our NATO base, and a civilian contractor lost his life. I do not know when the rockets will come or how many at a time; I just have to learn to live with the constant threat that each moment could be my last.
The dangerous environment of my daily life prompts me to ask: Should I choose to live in fear? Of course not. Living in fear is not something any of us can afford. So how do I face this fear? With faith that God has a purpose for me, is present as my daily companion here, where I offer my best in service to my country and to its mission of improving conditions in Afghanistan so that justice can flourish.
For over four months I have attended what are called ramp ceremonies for our fallen soldiers. Watching the bodies of these brave soldiers being lifted by their platoon brothers and placed on military air transport home is always difficult. It is more so when I realize how young they are and think of the families who await them back home.
I struggle to understand the meaning of their premature loss of life, but the presiding chaplain always has a few words to fill the void that is all too real to us. He says their passing is beyond our understanding and that this is the time God has called these brave soldiers to him. The humbling awareness of the fragility of life and of the mystery of these losses finds me choking back tears at night as I clutch my great-uncle's rosary beads and pray for deeper understanding.
This far-off venue provides an environment ripe for Ignatian reflection. Many nights when I am tempted to dwell on tragedy and the human loss about me, I remind myself of the good we and our NATO allies are accomplishing by our presence and work with local civilian populations. Surely the respect and friendships that have been formed through our coalition's efforts owe their inspiration to God's work to bring the human family together.
In my time here I have also supported two Provincial Reconstruction Teams, one in Farah and one in Zabul—remote areas. These planners and engineers have constructed over $5 million in humanitarian projects. They are building schools, roads and health clinics; providing electricity, wheat and mentoring programs for teachers and farmers. This is not to put a gloss on the ugly reality of battles and the tragedy of war, but we can forget too easily the central dimension of our presence here: to protect and work with the Afghan people as they try to re-establish systems of governance, education and justice that are the backbone of lasting peace and a stable society.
We will not resolve Afghanistan's problems anytime soon despite remarkable progress already made. But I believe we are doing the right thing and have to be patient. Somehow this is a reminder to the world of how our fate, even in this far-off land, is intertwined with the justice and peace of others. As I lay awake at night in the cool desert air and hold those rosary beads close to my chest, I thank God for all the good people he has put in my path who have formed me in the faith. I pray for them all, including my brave Uncle Ray and the remarkable Father Drinan. I also pray for a deeper faith to see things here in Kandahar as God does.

50 Things To Do With Your Money In Your 50s
Hank at Own the Dollar lists 50 financial moves to make in your 50s.
Here are a few of the most interesting pieces of advice:
Don't buy gold from late night television. You do not need gold or other exotic investments in order to be diversified in your investments no matter how much it rises in the short term.
Continue taking a brown bag lunch to work and skip going out to eat
Consider starting a second career or starting your own small business
Switch jobs if you are not happy. Life is too short not to be working in a job or career that you are absolutely passionate about.
Do not let loyalty to a job, a boss, or an organization get in the way of a greater earning potential. There is no reward for job loyalty anymore.

Last week, American Ecology reported 3Q09 earnings that revealed still challenging fundamentals:
- Revenue was $37.5 million (down 9% Y/Y) on "lower transportation related revenue and lower treatment and disposal revenue."
- "The Company disposed of 201,000 tons of waste in the third quarter of 2009, down 24% from 263,000 tons disposed in the third quarter of 2008."
Still, the company lowered its 2009 earnings outlook to $0.77 and $0.83 per diluted share ($0.80 midpoint) from $0.85 to $1.00 ($0.925 midpoint) on limited visibility:
- "With intense price competition prevailing for thermal treatment services, completion of our primary Honeywell Jersey City clean-up project site, stimulus funding ramping slowly and potential delays on both industry and government clean-up opportunities, our ability to project fourth quarter and year end 2009 results has been challenging," Romano commented.
Clean Harbors reports September quarter results this Wednesday, which will provide another update on the sector. Our preference remains owning companies with current-year growth and large excess cash flow such as American Oriental Bioengineering (AOB, $3.96), j2 Global Communications (JCOM, $20.45), and eBay (EBAY, $22.27) -- please see our prior posts. In the meantime, we will continue to watch fundamentals for American Ecology and Clean Harbors.
Happy investing,

Hi Getting There,
You are right, you have to stay in the present,(the now), and put the past behind you. You do what you can for now. I am sorry that you had to go to the hospital. I know you were trying so hard. Sometimes it takes some intervention or a change of some sort to be able to start fresh. And that is what you are doing now.
I hope that you will continue to post and let us know how you are doing. I hope that you are feeling better. I am glad that you are looking at the positive side of things. You will be okay. Just keep trying. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Luv and hugs,

Honeymoon Travel Gear: Style and Practicality
Honeymoon Travel Gear
A "must" for every couple's post-wedding vacation is sweet honeymoon travel gear. Whether you're a friend or family member looking to purchase a unique and practical gift, or you're the happy couple looking for a way to distinguish yourselves from the baggage claim to the poolside, honeymoon travel gear is the way to go. Honeymoon travel gear is anything that sets you apart as newlyweds. You've just gotten married, why WOULDN'T you want to show off a little? Flaunt your honeymoon travel gear as a matching set of swimwear, passport covers, luggage tags, or anything else you can slap a "Mrs." and "Mr." (Or "Mr."/"Mr." or "Mrs."/"Mrs.") on.
Honeymoon travel gear is also great for quick identification if something is lost or stolen. Too many couple start out with generic travel accessories and never see them again! Know that your gift (or smart purchase) will be worth more than aesthetics when you find distinguished honeymoon travel gear.
And who's to say the concierge won't see your honeymoon travel gear and know you deserve an upgrade upon check in! Anything is possible on the right vacation and with the right honeymoon travel gear!

This means frequent case updates and a prompt response to all inquiries.

A former prosecutor in the Los Angeles city attorney's office, Mr. Nameth founded the Law Office of Frederick James Nameth in 1978.

More importantly, he listens to his clients in order to design a strategy that is always in their best interest.
While a negotiated, out-of-court solution is always desirable, at the Law Office of Frederick James Nameth, we are never swayed by threats and intimidation by other criminal defense or auto accident attorneys. We will not hesitate to take case before a jury if it is justified and in the best interest of our client.
For experienced representation in cities including Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Hollywood, and Los Angeles, contact the Law Office of Frederick James Nameth today. We offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION, 24-7 availability, and a convenient location off the 5, 134, and 210 freeways in Glendale.
About Frederick James Nameth
Fred was born in Davenport, Iowa and came to California in 1947. He attended Jordan High School in Long Beach and Long Beach City College.
He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Politcal Science from U.C.L.A. He received his Juris Doctor degree from University of San Diego School of Law.
The experienced drunk driving lawyers at the Law Office of Frederick James Nameth in Glendale provide exceptional representation to clients in need of DUI criminal defense. Criminal DWI is a serious charge in the state of California, and conviction could result in serious penalties. Our attorneys work with clients who have been charged with drunk driving in communities such as Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Hollywood, and Los Angeles to prepare the best possible strategy in their DUI / DWI case and will fight hard for a successful outcome.
The crime of drunk driving is also known as "driving under the influence," or DUI, and "driving while intoxicated," or DWI. In some states, the crime may be known as "operating while intoxicated, or OWI, or "operating under the influence," or OUI. The names vary according to how state law refers to or defines the crime. Whatever the name, the state laws all have a common aim of punishing those who drink and drive, or those who drive while under the influence of illegal drugs. A drunk driving conviction carries with it serious and long-lasting consequences: jail or prison time, a heavy fine, and suspension or revocation of a driver's license. A person who is facing a drunk driving charge should not hesitate to seek immediate legal counsel from an experienced drunk driving defense attorney.
Parole & Probation in Drunk Driving Cases
Parole and probation are both supervisory-type mechanisms employed in the punishment phase of the criminal justice process. Parole comes into play after a person has been imprisoned and is released. Probation, by contrast, refers to a criminal sentence separate and distinct from incarceration. Probation is the most frequent sentence imposed and typically involves releasing the convicted offender into the community subject to a list of terms and conditions. The actual terms can vary widely, based on the underlying crime, the characteristics of the offender, and the resources of the probation system. All probations are subject to a requirement that the offender refrain from committing further crimes.
Persons convicted of drunk driving may be placed on probation, or for subsequent offenses they may be given a jail or prison term and then paroled, subject to continuing supervision. Lawyers experienced in criminal defense and drunk driving law can explain the spectrum of possible punishments for drunk driving offenders and describe the differences in the possible sentences in greater detail.
Prosecution refers to the government's role in the criminal justice system. When criminal activity is suspected, it is often up to the government to investigate, arrest, charge, and bring the alleged offender to trial. Prosecutors are the lawyers who work for the government and who are responsible for putting on the government's case against a defendant. Prosecutors may be called county attorneys, city attorneys, or district attorneys. The prosecutor is the opponent or "adversary" of the criminal defendant and his or her attorney; the two sides go head-to-head against each other in court. Because these public attorneys focus their energies on prosecuting criminal cases, they are generally very experienced in criminal law, and it is therefore essential that the defendant's attorney have the same advantage. Thus, in order to best preserve a criminal defendant's rights and strike a fair balance in court, representation by an experienced criminal defense attorney, particularly one knowledgeable in drunk driving law, is a must.
In all drunk driving cases, the prosecution must prove that the defendant's blood alcohol concentration at the time of the offense was at or above a statutory limit. In many states, the limit is .10 percent, but in others it is .08, and there is a national movement afoot to make that the limit in all states. In order to prove the requisite level of alcohol in the blood of someone arrested for drunk driving, it is necessary to obtain a suitable sample of the arrestee's blood, urine, or hair at the time of arrest. The use of a breath test is by far the most popular scientific method for establishing that drunk driving has occurred. Some defendants, however, have been able to successfully challenge the results of such tests in court, thereby preventing a conviction. An attorney experienced in drunk driving defense law is in the best position to advise a client on whether the "Breathalyzer" test results may be subject to challenge in his or her particular case.
After serving the sentence and paying the fine, a person convicted of drunk driving is eager to let things get back to normal and to return to life as it was before the charges. In most parts of the U.S., normal living-school, work, other activities-usually involves driving, and driving requires automobile insurance. The worst parts of the charge may seem to be behind you, but you are then faced with yet another consequence: trying to obtain automobile insurance after a drunk driving conviction.

Tags: Community, Government, Town News, Government Consolidation
A message from Mayor Connie White
In May, the Town Council presented a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) to TC MUD 1 and the Town of Westlake that proposed merging the two local governments in Trophy Club over the next few years. The SPA afforded the three organizations the opportunity to discuss the issues and work through solutions. The benefits to uniting our governments range from less government and politics in Trophy Club to more efficient operations and a unified vision. Westlake has also formally offered to buy TC MUD 1 out of Solana, which further indicates the need for the three organizations to come together and begin discussing the future of the region. Professional dialogue and deliberation among all three parties is essential for a resolution, particularly since any consolidation at this point would require agreement among all three entities.
Recently, TC MUD 1 developed paid advertisements that attacked the Town, belittled the Council and falsely represented the consolidation proposal and intention. The Town Council has chosen to remain on the high road; therefore my only response to the attacks from TC MUD 1 is to request that they also take the high road moving forward. Placing Trophy Club issues in a regional spotlight hurts everyone, including the residents. Let's allow the Blue Ribbon Panel to investigate the two organizations and develop a recommendation for how governance in Trophy Club should look in the future – move the politics aside and let the people who elect us recommend the best course of action.
Speaking of the Blue Ribbon Panel, I am so excited to announce the members of the Panel! The Town Council had an amazing talent pool to work with, including a FDIC Executive, Engineer, Psychotherapist, Accountant, Former City Manager, Disaster Recovery Consultant, US Department of Justice Agent, Assistant US Attorney, Process and Organizational Governance, Compliance and Public Administration, Payment Systems and Operations, Field Operations Manager, Naval Officer, Teacher, Pharmaceutical CEO, a free lance writer and many more. A truly impressive group of 33 applicants, which made Council's decision even more difficult!
The Blue Ribbon Panel, consisting of 12 residents and a Panel Secretary, is charged with investigating the optimal solution to the future TC MUD 1 and Town government structure by:
- examining the current government structure in Trophy Club,
- researching best practices for municipal government and
- providing a recommendation to the Council regarding a local government consolidation.
Blue Ribbon Panel Members:
|MUD Residents
|PID Residents
|Joe Hennig
|James Como
|Ronald Eddins
|Timothy Gamache
|Ronald Bieker
|Mitchell Christoffer
|Nicole Fontayne
|Robert Duncan
|Patrick Arata
|Robert Hillman
|Wesley Carlton
|Wanda Franklin
|Sandra Millett – Blue Ribbon Panel Recording Secretary
The Panel members have accepted a big responsibility and should be recognized for their desire and commitment to make a difference for the town. The research requires that the Panel members dedicate a large amount of time, expertise and energy to deliver a recommendation that is beneficial to the future of Trophy Club. I am so grateful for everyone who applied for the Panel and showed so much passion for the community.
The Town Council gave the Panel a soft deadline of December 31, 2013; however, we recognize the issues are complex and will allocate more time if necessary.
Thank you to everyone who applied for the Blue Ribbon Panel and we will keep residents updated on the progress.
Connie White

A proposed 197-unit apartment complex near state Highway 92 would expose residents to "substantial pollutant concentrations," according to the city, though the developer said ventilation systems will reduce any potential impacts.
Air quality is one of several issues planners are considering for the Polo Court project, a four-story apartment building and 126,000-square-foot office complex that would replace two commercial buildings near San Mateo City Hall.
The public comment period ended this week for the city's environmental review of the 4-acre project at 220 W. 20th Ave., and officials expect the review to be back for Planning Commission approval in April or May.
Released in February, the city's environmental study noted that the project would create new residential units between 90 and 365 feet from the freeway. The California Air Resources Board recommends new homes be built at least 500 feet from major roads to reduce the effects of potentially unhealthy particulate matter.
Based on the board's advisory guidelines, the complex "would expose project residents to substantial pollutant concentrations," according to the city. But the review also noted that the exposure would be "no worse than at existing residential areas located near the project site" and that Highway 92 carries fewer diesel trucks than other freeways.
Miguel Vasquez, a vice president for developer Coastal Rim Properties, said the project will incorporate mechanical ventilation and air filters to remove particulate matter.
Vasquez said that although the company would like to build farther away from the highway, "really it's a matter of the site constraints and what we're able to do within there."
Usher and Vasquez both pointed out that there are many existing homes built within the air board's 500-foot recommended distance from freeways.
Aside from the air issue, homeowners at the neighboring Corte Bella condominium complex expressed concern in 2008 about traffic and visual impacts from Polo Court, but the developer has "made revisions they seem to find satisfactory," Usher said.
Coastal Rim also addressed concerns about inadequate parking by adding a third floor to the underground parking facility, Usher said.

Raima Sen rejected by reality show judges!Abid, Bollywood Trade News Network
Amongst the many serious actresses to make a mark in Bollywood during the recent times, one surname stands out tall. Yes, its Sen. Be it the superbly talented Konkona Sen, the critically acclaimed Nandana Sen, beautiful ex- Miss Universe Sushmita Sen and yes, the latest, the petite, ethnic beauty , Raima Sen, who wowed the audiences with outstanding performances in films like GODMOTHER, CHOKHER BALI, PARINEETA , HONEYMOON TRAVELS, MANORMA SIX FEET UNDER etc.
Coming back to our headlines, our patrons may be shocked to read that such a talented actress like Raima could be rejected by judges and that too during a reality show?
CHECK OUT: I am the alter ego of Raima in MKMJA!
Well, no cause for concern as we are merely referring to a very interesting scene from Raima's upcoming MERE KHWABON MEIN JO AAYE, where she plays an aspiring singer, who appears in a music competition, which is being judged (on screen) by the likes of Javed Akhtar, Alka Yagnik and Lalit Pandit. Says Raima, 'The scene was very realistic for me because I really respect all the three judges. I was very happy that it turned out so well.'
The above mentioned names need no introduction as both Javed Akhtar and Alka Yagnik are iconic names of the industry and Lalit Pandit is from the erstwhile numero uno Jatin-Lalit duo. In fact they in turn are the lyricist, singer and music director of the mellifluous album of MKMJA, which relies a lot on music at its theme. And interestingly all of them play cameos in the much awaited February 6 release!

If you serve in a church (many of my readers do), you have had quite a week. You are undoubtedly tired, maybe exhausted, going into the church's highest weekend as we celebrate our Savior's death and resurrection.
The irony isn't lost – we are tired because our greatest celebration and THE reason we do what we do takes the most work, sacrifice, time, energy, patience, planning, and ____. (Fill in your week's reality.) Actually, that's the way it should be!
Sometimes in the celebration, however, it's easy to forget the why, to lose focus, and begin to resent it all.
At least it is for me.
Since I'm enjoying a couple hours of respite before kicking everything into high gear until mid-afternoon on Easter Sunday, I had time to read this link a co-worker sent me after our long night yesterday.
I'm happy (relieved after reading the post!) to say that we both had good attitudes last night as we locked up the church after working all day, and an hour beyond when the last person left dress rehearsal, to be ready for tonight.
I wish I could say that is always the case for me.
Next time, Mike's exhortation will be ringing in my ears.
We GET to do this!
And I'd honestly rather be doing NOTHING else this weekend than keeping the stones quiet.
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:15-16
Every note, every fader, every strum, every cue, every light, every word… everything is for one reason. It's all for you, Jesus.
All of it.
