Workaholic Friend Caricature Magnet
About the product
These are creative fridge magnets with your personalized caricature faces. Looking at the photos provided by you, our caricature artist will draw your caricature faces. Your caricature faces will then be used in the selected theme 'as seen in the sample product photo' to create a personalized caricature artwork for you. Once you approve it, the artwork will be used to create the magnet
Photos Requirement for better Results
☞ Face in the photograph should be clearly visible: Do not send out of focus or blurred photos. The facial features should be clearly visible. A full length photo isn't preferred, as when you zoom into the face, it might become distorted. A nice closeup photograph is preferred. There is no minimum resolution needed, as along as the face is clearly visible.
☞ Its good if the subject is smiling: We request you select a photo in which the person is smiling. A photo with serious look, will result in a caricature with serious look. Our artist draws the expressions in the caricature face exactly like the photos. We can't add smile from our imagination, it won't match with the actual smile of the person.
☞ A front faced photograph is needed: The subject will be drawn exactly like the photos given. So a photograph with side looks, photos in which face is covered or incomplete isn't accepted. For best results the subject should be looking into the camera.

A. The artists at dezains.com are skilled professionals, and they have been drawing caricature for years. The caricature will resemble (facial expressions, pose etc) with the photo that you provide while ordering for making the caricature. You may suggest changes that you feel are necessary for better resemblance of the caricature. However, please note that this is a caricature and not a portrait and hence it cannot be 100% similar to the photo. Normally a resemblance of 80-85% is expected.
Q. What if the caricature doesn't resemble satisfactorily, even after revisions and I want to cancel the order?
A. If in case you are not satisfied even after multiple revisions, you can always cancel the order. However a minimum of Rs.600 per caricature face will be charged to partly cover the cost of the caricature, and rest of the amount returned in 5-6 working days
Q. Can I ask for changes in the pre-defined themes?
A. Sorry, but we do not modify our themes. Few very minor changes can be done, but requesting changes in the dresses, backgrounds, pose etc will not be entertained. If you need to customize your own theme, you can go for the Caricature Poster that we offer.
Q. Do I also get a high resolution copy of the caricature artwork?
A. Yes. You can use the soft copy at a later time as per your need. We would be sending you a high resolution copy on request.

Between the heat, humidity, sun, and water, summertime can really do a number on previously great-looking locks. While frizz-free hair may seem like an impossibility as heat waves sweep the country, don't give up on your tresses just yet. Instead, follow these tips and styles to keep your hair in tip-top shape all summer long.
Start summer off with a trim.
Cut the frizz—literally—with a trim or even a new, shorter haircut at the beginning of summer. A trim gets rid of dead ends, which tend to frizz and stick out of your otherwise sleek hairstyle. Plus, the less hair you have, the less frizz you'll have to manage. We're loving Jennifer Aniston's adorable medium-length bob ("lob") above.
Protect your hair from sun and water damage.
You know that sun and water can damage your skin, but did you know these natural elements can do the same to your hair? Both chlorinated pool water and salty sea water dry out your hair, and the chlorine can transform a great highlights job into a dull, green-tinged mess. To avoid these ill effects, rinse your hair off with clean fresh water as soon as you're done, or better yet, wash it. If you'll be out in the sun all day, cover up your hair with a hat or scarf to protect from rays.
Turn down the heat as temperatures rise.
It's tempting to crank up the heat on your flat iron or hair dryer as you're styling, but that extra heat is exactly what your hair doesn't need during the dog days of summer. It's best to skip such styling tools altogether, but if you absolutely have to use them, put them on the lowest heat setting possible to avoid further damage to your locks. In addition, try taking cold or lukewarm showers instead of steaming hot ones to further avoid torching your hair.
When it comes to humidity, prevent rather than cure.
Speaking of showers, frizz-free hair actually starts with shampooing, not styling. Hair tends to frizz because it's trying to absorb moisture out of humid air, so look for sulfate- and alcohol-free shampoos since these chemicals strip moisture from your hair. Conditioners with proteins and natural oils will also help restore the lost moisture, and if your dry hair is really struggling in the heat, a weekly deep conditioner can do the trick.
Be kind to your cuticles.
Your hair cuticles, that is. While a quick towel dry when you hop out of the shower may be efficient, it disturbs hair cuticles and therefore the natural pattern of your hair, leading to frizz and sometimes even breaking off hair strands. Swap out your thick, rough towels for thin, smooth cotton ones (or even old t-shirts) and gently pat your hair dry without messing up the natural hair pattern.
Find a serum that works for you.
Silicone seals your hair to it from absorbing moisture and therefore frizzing, so many serums such as John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Hair Serum use it as a base (as a bonus, the John Frieda serum contains UV inhibitors for sun protection). However, silicon can weigh hair down and make it look greasy, so if you have trouble with that, try a silicon-free serum such as Living Proof's Satin Hair Serum instead. For maximum frizz fighting, run some product through your wet hair before styling it or letting it air dry.
Break those brushing habits.
Many of us brush our hair with the same regularity that we brush our teeth. However, brushing dry hair is a sure-fire recipe for instant frizz since it disrupts your cuticle and breaks hair strands (much like drying it with a rough towel does). Only brush your hair while it's wet, and even then try ditching the brush for a comb: it will detangle your rats while still being gentle and preserving the hair pattern, thus reducing frizz.
Work with your hair's body.
Some days, your hair will frizz no matter your best efforts. For these dog days, have a couple styles in mind that you need lots of volume and texture to pull off. This strategy will keep you looking put-together even when your hair is doing its best to go crazy. For inspiration, check out this roundup of 10 easy summer hairstyles that Sarah Webb over at Venus Trapped in Mars put together.

Stephen Lawrence Centre Vandalised
We'd been planning to write something this week about the opening of the Stephen Lawrence Centre in Deptford.
Sadly, before we've even had time to get around to it, the Centre's been vandalised, with the suspicion that the attacks were racially motivated.
We went to school with Stephen and he was a really decent guy (the disgusting attempt by the BNP to say otherwise was one of the lowest points in their long and shameful history). The Centre in his memory is a wonderful idea that deserves to flourish and, despite this setback, it will.
We will find a quieter time to write in more detail about the Stephen Lawrence Centre.

The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid plummeted last week to seasonally adjusted 339,000, the lowest level in more than four years. The sharp drop, if sustained, could signal a stronger job market.
The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications fell by 30,000 to the fewest since February 2008. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, dropped by 11,500 to 364,000, a six-month low.
The positive figures follow a report last week that said the unemployment rate fell in September to 7.8 percent. It was the first time since January 2009 that the rate dropped below 8 percent.
A Labor Department spokesman cautioned that the weekly unemployment aid applications can be volatile, particularly at the start of a quarter. And the spokesman said one large state accounted for much of the decline. The spokesman did not name the state.
Unemployment benefit applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they consistently drop below 375,000, it suggests that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
Some economists said they want to see more data before suggesting the job market is turning around.
"Should this level hold for another week, it would flag a meaningful improvement in October" hiring, said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, in a note to clients.
Dan Greenhaus, chief market strategist at BTIG LLC, is also reserving judgment. "Are things that much better all of a sudden? Perhaps. We're going to wait for some corroborating data."
The total number of people receiving unemployment benefits also fell, the Labor Department said. A little more than 5 million Americans received benefits in the week ending Sept. 22, the latest data available. That's down about 44,000 from the previous week.
Last week's report noted that the unemployment rate declined to 7.8 percent in September from 8.1 percent in August because a government survey of households found that 873,000 more people had jobs. It was the biggest jump in nearly 10 years, although it was largely because of an increase in part-time employment.
A separate survey of businesses showed that employers added only 114,000 jobs in September. That's generally enough to keep pace with population growth but not enough to rapidly bring relief to more than 12 million who are unemployed.
Hiring over the summer was stronger than previously estimated. The economy gained an average of 146,000 jobs a month in the July-September quarter. That's more than double the monthly pace in the April-June quarter.
Another report Wednesday suggested hiring will likely remain modest. Employers posted slightly fewer open jobs in August compared with July, the Labor Department said. It was the second straight monthly drop and the fewest openings since April.
A key problem is the economy is not growing fast enough to generate much hiring. Growth slowed to a tepid annual rate of 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter, down from 2 percent in the previous quarter. Most economists see growth staying at or below 2 percent in the second half of the year.

Ubuntu Natty Installation Guide
The Options
Users with ATI cards have the following driver options:
- vesa - very basic, lacks 2D/3D acceleration, and focuses on compatibility with all VESA-compliant graphics cards. It is good for starting the GUI environment when no accelerated driver is available/working and little else.
- ati - actually a thin wrapper that will invoke the radeon driver (or another ati open-source driver for pre-Radeon cards).
- radeon - open source driver supporting all Radeon cards. This driver has excellent 2D acceleration and compatibility with the Linux graphics stack. 3D acceleration is sufficient for desktop effects and a nice set of native Linux games. Power management is now comparable to the Catalyst driver.
- radeonhd - an alternate driver supporting R520-R7x0 hardware. This driver is now officially deprecated in favor of radeon. If you still want to try it, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD
- Catalyst (a.k.a fglrx) a proprietary "blob" (closed source binary) driver designed by ATI, with 3D code based off of their Windows driver. Only RadeonHD chips are supported on recent Linux distros.
Updated Open Source Driver PPA's
- "Ubuntu-X" : This PPA offers the latest stable releases of video driver-related components. Follow the instructions at: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
- Xorg-edgers: This bleeding-edge PPA offers video driver-related components straight from their code (git) repositories. Follow the instructions at: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
Installing Proprietary Drivers a.k.a. Catalyst/fglrx
Which cards are no longer supported by ATI? The ATI Radeon 9500-9800, Xpress200-1250, 690G, 740G, X300-X2500 (including Mobility RadeonHD 2300, since it is really a DirectX 9 part). See the complete list here. If your card is on that list, you are limited to open-source drivers on Ubuntu Lucid/10.04 (and later). If you really need the proprietary Catalyst/fglrx driver, you will have to use an older Linux distribution, such as Debian Lenny/5.0.x or Ubuntu Hardy/8.04.x.
NOTE: If you enter your card information on AMD/ATI's driver page, it will offer you the Catalyst 9-3 driver to download. However, the Catalyst 9-3 driver doesn't support X servers past 1.5, and it will not work with Natty! !!!SO BE CAREFUL!!! If you tried to install Catalyst on a system with one of these cards, see the 'Removing the Driver' section to restore the default/pre-installed drivers.
Restricted Drivers Manager
NOTE: You must have the restricted repository enabled in Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources... for this to work. You must also have the fglrx-modaliases and jockey-gtk (or jockey-kde for Kubuntu) packages installed. You will be limited to the drivers for your version of Ubuntu that Canonical deems stable. This may not give you the latest drivers, but should be safest. On Ubuntu Natty, this will install Catalyst 8.840, which is roughly equivalent to a prerelease of Catalyst 11-4. Go to the Additional Drivers Manager (System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers) and activate the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver" (or double-click the "available driver" notification icon). Ubuntu will then install and configure the driver for you.
Installing the drivers manually
I recommend copying and pasting the commands (do not include the leading '$') to ensure there are no typing mistakes and speed up the install process. Remember to use Ctrl + Shift + V or Shift + Insert to paste into the terminal (or go to the terminals menu, select edit and click paste).
Before you start
If you have previously attempted installing Catalyst, remove any leftover files by following the Removing the Driver section. Make sure universe and multiverse are enabled in your repository sources (System -> Administration -> Software Sources). or Applications->Ubuntu Software Center->Edit->Software sources->Other software: check canonical partners.
Install the prerequisite packages:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
If you are using the x86_64 architecture (64 bit), be sure to install "ia32-libs" before proceeding!
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Download the latest Catalyst package.
This package contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit driver.
$ cd ~/; mkdir catalyst15.12; cd catalyst15.12/ $ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-15-12-x86.x86_64.run
Create .deb packages.
$ sh ./ati-driver-installer-15-12-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty
Install .debs.
$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
Generate a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
Unfortunately, there is no sure way to generate the ATI version of the Xorg.conf file. It is entirely dependent on your configuration. The following subsections will attempt to address possible (and tested) variations for their respective configurations.
Yup, that'll do it. You have my aprepciaiton.
Minimal Config
A very basic /etc/X11/xorg.conf file might be what you need if you have a new card that's not fully supported by aticonfig. Here follows the entirety of a minimal xorg.conf file for the Radeon 6870:
Section "Device" Identifier "ATI radeon 6870" Driver "fglrx" EndSection
X2/Dual GPU Cards
If you have an X2 card (e.g. 4870X2 or 5970), use... !!Do not use for two separate cards in crossfire!!
$ sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
Dual/Multi Monitors
If you have a dual monitor display (also known as "Big Desktop"), use:
$ sudo aticonfig --initial -f $ sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandR12,FALSE"
This was confirmed in http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18553.
Force use of the new xorg.conf (if necessary)
Some people find that changes to xorg.conf don't get used by the driver. To force the ATI driver to adopt changes made to xorg.conf, use the following command:
$ sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1
Test your installation
NOTE: if you don't reboot first, fglrxinfo gives an error message. Reboot the computer and type
$ fglrxinfo
into the terminal. If the vendor string contains ATI, you have installed the driver successfully. Using fglrxinfo on a system with Catalyst 11-4 and a RadeonHD 4250 returns:
display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4200 Series (This line may be different depending on what graphics card you are using.) OpenGL version string: 3.3.10665 Compatibility Profile Context (This line may be different depending on what graphics card and Catalyst version you are using.)
Now, try:
$ fgl_glxgears
If you experience issues or a hang, you may need to disable fast TLS.
$ sudo aticonfig --tls=0
Just in case
Write down or remember this series of Alt+PrntScr key combinations, just in case your screen should go black and Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work.
Alt+PrntScr+r, Alt+PrntScr+s, Alt+PrntScr+e, Alt+PrntScr+i, Alt+PrntScr+n, Alt+PrntScr+u, Alt+PrntScr+b
These key-presses will reboot the system safely. To remember the key-presses, remember this nonsensical phrase: "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Never Utterly Boring".
An alternative would be to hold down Ctrl+Alt+SysRq (SysRq is usually the same key as PrintScreen) and type very slowly R E I S U B. A way to remember this is by inverting the word: "BUSIER" or remembering a phrase: "Restart Even If System Utterly Broken". This would also safely shutdown the system.
Hardware Video Decode Acceleration (EXPERIMENTAL)
This is confirmed to work for newer RadeonHD GPU's (those with UVD2). If you have a RadeonHD 4000 series or newer, you have UVD2. To see the complete list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder#UVD_enabled_GPUs
For acceleration to work, you will need libva from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/catalysthacks and the xvba va-api backend from: http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/ With those installed, you can get acceleration from any video player that uses VA-API. A compatible version of VLC is available in the aforementioned PPA.
Updating Catalyst/fglrx
DO NOT try to install a new version over an old one. Follow the 'Removing Catalyst/fglrx' section below to remove your existing driver, and then you can start at 'Downloading the latest Catalyst' to install the new one.
Removing Catalyst/fglrx
The uninstall script in the first command will only exist if you downloaded the drivers and installed the directly (rather than building packages as this guide does). Skip the first command if it does not exist.
$ sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh $ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
If you plan on using open-source drivers, you will need to reinstall some packages because Catalyst overwrites or diverts some key 3D libraries with proprietary versions. For more information on this issue, see this Ubuntu wiki page
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core $ sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
Build Fails and Log Shows "mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop."
If the installation fails and you find the above message in /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.841/build/make.log, it may be because you're using a pentium-build wrapper around gcc. See what the following ls command returns:
$ ls -la /usr/bin/gcc
If it shows that gcc is a link to builder-cc, temporarily redirect the link to point to the real gcc (gcc-4.5 in Ubuntu Natty). This should allow you to install fglrx:
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.5 /usr/bin/gcc
When you're finished installing the driver, return the gcc link to its original value:
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/builder-cc /usr/bin/gcc
Launchpad link for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/555957
"Errors were encountered while processing: fglrx-amdcccle" (on 64-bit systems)
Most likely, you probably did not have the "ia32-libs" package installed beforehand. If you have a 64 bit install, the above dpkg command may complain that "Errors were encountered while processing: fglrx-amdcccle". This is because of a dependency of the amdccle package on 32 bit libraries. If you receive this error, use the following command, which will force the installation of all of the 32 bit dependencies, and then the amdcccle package:
$ sudo apt-get -f install
Catalyst 15.12 on 64-bit systems may require the --force-overwrite command in the above dpkg command:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite fglrx*.deb
Problems Starting Xserver
If you get a black screen hang, the first thing to check is if xorg.conf is the problem.
You can disable the xorg.conf with:
$ sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.disabled
Reboot and check to see if things work now.
You can reinstate the file with:
$ sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.disabled /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Before tweaking ACPI settings, try ensuring /dev/null is chmodded to 0666. This intermittently changes when using the nano (and possibly other) editors with sudo and the group/world permissions are unset. This leads to the ATI drivers hanging on boot or otherwise. A quick and dirty init script saved as /etc/init/chmodnull does the trick for me -
$ start on filesystem $ $ script $ chmod 0666 /dev/null $ chmod 0666 /lib/udev/devices/null $ end script
This has been tested using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on a ATI Radeon HD 4830 (HP Envy 15-1060ea). It's worth noting that I had to disable TLS (aticonfig --tls=0) to get things to stay stable!
If you've properly installed the driver, but experience problems when starting the X server, such as hanging, black/white/gray screen, distortion, etc., your system BIOS may have a buggy ACPI implementation. To work around, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal (or failing that, boot to recovery mode) and run:
$ sudo aticonfig --acpi-services=off
If this method works, you should consider checking your system vendor's BIOS changelogs for relevant ACPI fixes, updating your BIOS, and reenabling the driver's ACPI services.
Slow Maximizing Windows/General 2D Slowness
As of Catalyst 10-6, a new, faster 2D acceleration method is used as the default, replacing the old XAA method. If you're not running compositing/desktop effects, and are having problems with 2D operations, you may want to fall back to the old XAA. This command will do that:
$ sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE
In the last case (at least) it is essential to run it without the Xorg server working. To do so, press CTRL+ALT+F1, log in and type the following (this will close all your programs so save your work before):
$ sudo service gdm stop $ sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE $ sudo service gdm start
Unsupported Hardware Watermark
This can happen if your card's PCI ID wasn't officially certified to work with a particular version of Catalyst. It does not necessarily mean that your card is unsupported, but it does mean that you shouldn't file bugs with that particular card/driver combination. If you installed the driver by downloading it from AMD/ATI, installing a newer version of Catalyst will probably help.
If you installed the proprietary driver included with Ubuntu or you do not want to upgrade to a newer version, it may be possible to work around the issue by using a control file from a newer version of Catalyst than the one you're running.
$ cd ~/; mkdir catalyst15.12; cd catalyst15.12/ $ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-15-12-x86.x86_64.run $ chmod +x ati-driver-installer-15-12-x86.x86_64.run $ sh ati-driver-installer-15-12-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver $ sudo mv /etc/ati/control ~/control.bak $ sudo cp driver/common/etc/ati/control /etc/ati
Hang at logout
If you experience hangs when logging out (of X) it is probably due to the /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh script looking for X authorization files in the wrong place when it starts up. You can kill the hanging authatieventsd.sh processes from a console tty to allow the shutdown of the X server.
Before the following commands verify that /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh exists after build and install, if not just do: (assuming that the installer is in the directory we used to install)
$ cd ~/catalyst15.12 $ sh ati-driver-installer-15.12-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver $ sudo cp driver/packages/Ubuntu/dists/lucid/replacements/authatieventsd.sh /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh $ sudo chmod +x /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh
This problem can be fixed permanently with:
$ sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/xdm/authdir $ sudo ln -s /var/run/xauth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles
If that doesn't work then you can disable atieventsd with this command:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f atieventsd remove
You'll have to restart for this to take effect.
Suspend hibernation works with the latest driver.
For Radeon 3200, to wake up from suspend, I had to add the following lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: (This settings is not good option, if you are using compiz-fusion or any other transparency-based thingie. Not working for HD 3850)
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" EndSection
Another way to get it working is to do enable Composite, but when you want to suspend simply disable Compiz Fusion. How would you do that? Easy! Install the fusion-icon package (in repos by default):
$ sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
After you have done that, launch it (Applications > System > Compiz Fusion Icon) and it appears in your notification area. To switch, simply right-mouse click on the icon and select Metacity. Your desktop will flicker and windows will dissapear, but after a while they appear again. Now try to suspend.
When you wake up again, you can (hopefully) unlock your screen and there you go! Now you want Compiz back again, so right-mouse-click on the Compiz Fusion Icon and select Compiz again. Desktop flickering again, but then voila! Your Compiz Fusion Desktop is back again! (At least, that is how it is supposed to work)
KNOWN PROBLEM: When you switch back, all your windows are on the same desktop. This happens because you switched to metacity.
Hopefully this helped some people, as it did for me! Solution posted by email@example.com
Can't remove fglrx with dpkg (diversion issue)
If dpkg refuses to remove an fglrx package and complains about a diversion of a file, you might need to manually remove it. For example, if dpkg complains:
dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to when removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2 by xorg-driver-fglrx' found `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx'
$ sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
I tughoht finding this would be so arduous but it's a breeze!
New kernel installed?
In theory, DKMS should automatically install the fglrx kernel module for your new kernel the first time you boot it. Should you need to manually install it:
$ sudo dkms build -m fglrx -k `uname -r` $ sudo dkms install -m fglrx -k `uname -r`
if amdcccle doesn't work and says Identifier is not a valid word. Use lower case letter in xorg.conf
Aticonfig not found after installation & "module does not exist" after boot
This scenario is possible when the driver installation has seemingly succeeded and is possibly related to previous use of fglrx through the Jockey (i.e. you first used drivers provided by Ubuntu but then upgraded to ones available from AMD's website). When doing aticonfig --initial after driver installation, you might end up not having the aticonfig available at all:
aticonfig: command not found
After booting you might receive X error '(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)'. These do not necessarily indicate that the installation has failed completely. On command line, do
$ ls /usr/lib/fglrx/bin
and see if the command lists some Ati related programs. If they are listed but not found from /usr/bin, it is possible that the "update-alternatives" fglrx .deb installation does has been ignored. See man update-alternatives for more information about the concept and workings of alternatives. In practice, update-alternatives is supposed to create several symbolic links to the files in the fglrx directory, but it will be ignored if the alternatives for the very related gl_conf entry has been set to manual. Do
$ update-alternatives --get-selections | grep gl_conf
and see if the mode is manual instead of auto and if mesa is mentioned instead of fglrx in the path that is printed. In this case you need to
$ sudo update-alternatives --set gl_conf /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf
to set fglrx as the active alternative. You can alternatively (no pun intended) and additionally change the gl_conf into automatic mode before the installation this way:
$ sudo update-alternatives --auto gl_conf
After that, the alternatives should automatically be configured correctly when the graphics driver .debs are installed.
"update-alternatives: error" during install
During installation you may receive the following message:
update-alternatives: error: unable to make /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/fglrx_drv: No such file or directory
This can be easily solved by creating directory "drivers" under /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
'Can't exec "debian/rules": Permission denied at /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage line 507.' during deb generation
During installation you may receive the following message:
Can't exec "debian/rules": Permission denied at /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage line 507.
This can happen when your /tmp folder is mounted with the option "noexec". The noexec is suggested by many howtos regarding Ubuntu on SSD, when placing the /tmp in memory. A workaround can be found here: [1]

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, there was the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska, at the time the nation's largest oil spill.
The 987-foot tanker, carrying 53 million gallons of crude, struck Bligh Reef at 12:04 a.m. on March 24, 1989. Within hours, it unleashed an estimated 10.8 million gallons of thick, toxic crude oil into the water. Storms and currents then smeared it over 1,300 miles of shoreline.
For a generation of people around the world, the spill was seared into their memories by images of fouled coastline in Prince William Sound, of sea otters, herring and birds soaked in oil, of workers painstakingly washing crude off the rugged beaches.
Twenty five years later, most of the species have recovered, said Robert Spies, a chief science adviser to governments on the oil spill restoration program from 1989 to 2002. But some wildlife, as well as the people who live in the region, are still struggling.
Here's a look at what's changed since the spill:
Bernie Culbertson was preparing to fish cod when the Exxon Valdez ran aground. With oil in the water, fishing came to a standstill and life for he and other fishermen drastically changed.
"The bottom fell out of the price of fish," he said. Pink salmon that sold for 80 cents per pound fell to 8 cents per pound. Consumers turned to farm fish or tuna out of fear of tainted salmon. His boat caught 2.5 million pound of pinks one season and lost money.
Culbertson turned to other fisheries, traveling as far as California. Fishing 12 months a year, his marriage failed. Friends couldn't repay loans and lost boats or homes. Exxon compensation checks, minus what fishermen earned on spill work, arrived too late for many.
The fisheries today are not the same. "The shrimp are slowly, slowly coming back. The crab aren't back. The herring aren't back. The salmon are back in abundance," he said.
At the time of the spill, complacency among government officials and the oil industry had set in after a dozen years of safe shipments, said Mark Swanson, director of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens Advisory Council and a former Coast Guard officer.
When the tanker ran aground, for instance, spill response equipment was buried under snow. Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. in 1989 had 13 oil skimmers, five miles of boom and storage capacity for 220,000 gallons of spilled oil.
Now, Alyeska has 108 skimmers, 49 miles of boom and on-water storage capacity of almost 38 million gallons. North Slope oil must be transported in double-hull tankers, which must be escorted by two tugs. Radar monitors the vessel's position as well as that of icebergs.
The company conducts two major spill drills are conducted each year. And nearly 400 local fishing boat owners are trained to deploy and maintain boom
After the spill, the population of herring crashed. It is now listed as "not recovering." The silvery fish is a key species because it is eaten by salmon, seabirds and marine mammals from otters to whales. Four years after the spill, the estimated herring population based on modeling shrunk from 120 metric tons to less than 30 metric tons.
How that happened remains a question, said Scott Pegau, research program manager for the Oil Spill Recovery Institute in Cordova, Alaska.
Here's what's known: Adult herring feed on zooplankton, which crashed for three years after the spill. With less to eat, herring may have been more susceptible to disease normally fended off within a herring population.
Herring populations can stabilize at a low or high number, but something has prevented a rebound. Oil likely is no longer a factor, Pegau said.
Responders estimated that as many as 3,000 sea otters died the first year. Hundreds more died in the years after of exposure to oil that persisted in sediment, where otters dig for clams.
Three factors could have had an impact on the otters' ability to survive. Oiled fur loses insulating value. Otters ingest oil as they groom, and researchers years after the spill found blood chemistry evidence consistent with liver damage. Grooming takes time away from feeding.
"One of the lessons we can take from this is that the chronic effects of oil in the environment can persist for decades," said Brenda Ballachey, who moved to Alaska a few months after the spill and spent the next summer dissecting sea otter carcasses collected from beaches and frozen.
The U.S. Geological Survey research biologist is the lead author of a federal study released last month that concludes that sea otters have finally returned to pre-spill numbers.
The pigeon guillemot (GEEL'-ah-mot), which looks like a black pigeon with web feet, is one species that has not recovered. Numbers were declining before the spill. An estimated 2,000 to 6,000 guillemots, or 10 to 15 percent of the population in spill areas, died from acute oiling.
Researchers suspect river otters, mink and other predators targeted guillemot eggs as an alternative to foraging on oiled beaches.
Like sea otters and another bird that took years to recover, harlequin ducks, pigeon guillemot's forage for invertebrates in sediment and likely were affected by lingering oil, said David Irons, a seabirds expert with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The decline of its other prey, juvenile herring, didn't help. Numbers continue to decline in both oiled and non-oiled areas. Irons has proposed reducing mink numbers on the heavily oiled Naked Islands, once prime habitat for guillemots, to restore their numbers.

Story highlights
NHL owners locked out their players and sought a new labor deal
They reached a tentative deal last weekend, and it was finalized on Saturday
The league's teams will play a 48-game regular season
Let the games begin – finally.
The National Hockey League season will officially get under way Saturday, three months later than scheduled, the league announced on its website.
The NHL Players' Association ratified a new collective bargaining agreement Saturday, ending the lockout that began September 15. The agreement came after a sometimes acrimonious process to retool the labor deal between the players' association and the league.
During on-and-off negotiations, the NHL scrapped its preseason, all games through 2012 and threatened to scratch the entire season if a deal couldn't be reached.
But on January 6, the league and the players announced they'd struck a tentative agreement after a 16-hour negotiating session.
The league's board of governors approved the deal Wednesday, but it wasn't official until Saturday. Hours after the players ratified the agreement, leaders from the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding about the terms of the new 10-year labor deal.
Training camps begin Sunday, the NHL said.
Three games will open the truncated regular season at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday: Pittsburgh at Philadelphia, Ottawa at Winnipeg and Chicago at Los Angeles, the reigning Stanley Cup champion.
The season will be 48 games, down from the standard 82. The regular season ends April 27.
The last time the league had labor strife, the entire 2004-05 season was eliminated.

By Judy Cerenzia, The Open Group FACE Consortium
I'm amazed that only 19 months ago we kicked off The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) Consortium, a collaborative group of avionics industry and U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force contributors who are working to develop standards for a common operating environment to support portable capability applications across Department of Defense (DoD) avionics systems. Our goal is to create an avionics software environment on installed computing hardware of war-fighting platforms that enables FACE applications and components to be deployed on different platforms without impact to the FACE applications. This approach to portable applications and interoperability will reduce development and integration costs and reduce the time to field new avionics capabilities.
I'm particularly proud of the consortium's Technical Working Group, authors of Version 1.0 of The Technical Standard for Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) Reference Architecture, which was just approved for official publication as an Open Group Standard. What they have accomplished in a year and a half is nothing less than phenomenal. The publication is available at The Open Group's Bookstore.
The FACE Consortium's unique strategy and structure is changing the way government and industry do business by breaking down barriers to portability—exchanging proprietary solutions for a common and standardized computing environment and components. To enable this climate change, the consortium's Business Working Group has also published the FACE Business Guide, which defines stakeholders and their roles within a new business model; discusses business scenarios and defines how stakeholders will impact or be impacted by business drivers in each; and investigates how contract terms, software licensing agreements and IP rights may need to change to support procuring common components with standardized interfaces versus a proprietary black-box solution from a prime contractor. The Business Guide is also available at The Open Group's Bookstore.
We've grown from 74 individuals representing 14 organizations in June 2010 to over 375 participants from 39 government and industry partners to date. Our next consortium members' meeting will be in Baltimore, MD February 29 – March 1 2012, hosted by Northrop Grumman. I'm looking forward to seeing FACE colleagues, facilitating their working meeting, and continuing our mission to develop, evolve and publish a realistic open FACE™ architecture, standards and business model, and robust industry conformance program that will be supported and adopted by FACE customers, vendors, and integrators.
Judy Cerenzia is currently The Open Group's Program Director for the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium. Judy has 10+ years senior program management experience leading cross-functional and cross-organizational teams to reach consensus, define, and meet business and technical goals during project lifecycles.

Mary Smith Jones Letters
Mary Smith McCrory Jones was the wife of Anson Jones, who served as the last president of the Republic of Texas from 1844 to 1846 before it joined the Union as a state. This digital collection contains mostly letters written by Mary Jones during the decades following the death of her husband.
After Anson Jones died in 1858, Mary moved the family to Galveston, then to a farm in Harris County. Spanning the latter half of the 19th century, the bulk of the letters are from Mary Jones to her son, Cromwell Anson Jones, who became a lawyer and served as a judge in Harris County. The correspondence provide a glimpse into post-Civil War life in Texas, especially legal and financial issues related to land ownership; Mary Jones had inherited land throughout East Texas from her husband, and frequently consulted her children in such matters.
In addition to family letters, the collection also contains legal documents, including official deeds of land from the State of Texas, a Confederate tax receipt from 1864, City of Houston and Harris County tax statements, and a court summons from the City of Houston (as plaintiff) against Mary Jones for taxes due in 1898.
Transcriptions of the letters are provided under the descriptions of most items.
The original materials are available in UH Libraries' Special Collections in the Mary (Mrs. Anson) Jones Letters.

- Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Translated from the critical edition by John Clarke, OCD, 3rd ed. (1997). Includes general and biblical index, with 8 pages of photos
Two and a half years before her death in 1897 at the age of 24, as Thérèse Martin began writing down her childhood memories at the request of her blood sisters in the Lisieux Carmel, few could have guessed the eventual outcome. Yet this "story of my soul," first published in 1898 in a highly edited version, quickly became a modern spiritual classic, read by millions and translated into dozens of languages around the world.
Decades later, in response to growing requests from scholars and devotees of the Saint, a facsimile edition of the manuscripts appeared, along with more popular French editions of what the Saint had actually written. Here, expressed with all of Thérèse's original spontaneity and fervor, we rediscover the great themes of her spirituality: confidence and love, the "little way," abandonment to God's merciful love, and her "mission" in the church and world today.
Father John Clarke's acclaimed translation, first published in 1975 and now accepted as the standard throughout the English-speaking world, is a faithful and unaffected rendering of Thérèse's own words, from the original manuscripts. This new edition, prepared for the centenary of the Saint's death, includes a select bibliography of recent works in English on Thérèse, along with a new referencing system now widely used in studies of her doctrine.
Jesus, my love, how my heart longs for you
morning and evening and all the day through.
Stirrings so gentle yet lasting and true,
glimpse of Your love ever new.
Ah! All my longing is for me to be
living and moving and being in You.
Through You and with You and in You alone,
fullness of life here below.
Oh God so near and yet so far away
drawing me into Your own life each day;
Openess radiance of splendour Divine,
grace of Your Presence within.
Glimmer of plenitude life lived in love
when only You I believe, I adore,
prostrate before You surrender my life
yours, yours alone each new day.
Oh! when the day dawns to meet face to face,
Lord let Your gaze be of mercy and grace.
Words of salvation, delight and embrace,
enter to Life and to Love.
Joyously sing with the heavenly throng,
honour and glory and thanks evermore.
Beauty and splendour and brilliance of light.
Eternal blessing in love,
Eternal blessing in love.

Holy is His Name
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
And my spirit exalts in God my Saviour.
For He has looked with mercy on my lowliness
And my name will be forever exalted.
For the mighty God has done great things for me
And His mercy will reach from age to age.
And holy, holy, holy is His name.
He has mercy in every generation
He has revealed His power and His glory.
He has cast down the mighty in their arrogance
And has lifted up the meek and the lowly.
He has come to help His servant Israel
He remembers His promise to our fathers.
And holy, holy, holy is His name.
Holy, holy, holy is His name.

Let Me Bring Love
Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred Lord, let me sow love;
Where there is hatred Lord, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, Lord let me bring pardon.
Where there is doubt Lord, Lord let me bring Faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring Hope
Let me bring hope, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness let me bring light.
Where there is sadness let me bring joy.
Where there is darkness let me bring light and
Where there is sadness, Joy.
O Divine Master, O Divine Master
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console.
Not so much seek to be consoled as to console.
Lord let me understand rather than be understood
Lord let me understand rather than be understood
Rather than be loved Lord, let me give love.
Rather than be loved Lord, let me give love.
For it is in giving, we receive, in giving we receive.
It is in pardoning, we are pardoned,
in pardoning, we are pardoned.
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
We are born to Eternal Life.

The Holy City
Last night I lay a-sleeping. There came a dream so fair,
I stood in old Jerusalem beside the temple there.
I heard the children singing, and ever as they sang,
Me-thought the voice of Angels from Heav'n in answer rang,
Me-thought the voice of Angels from Heav'n in answer rang.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, lift up your gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your King!
And then me-thought the scene was changed, the streets no longer rang,
Hushed were the glad hosannas the little children sang.
The sun grew dark with mystery, the morn was cold and chill,
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill,
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill.
And once again the scene was changed, new earth there seemed to be;
I saw the Holy City, beside the tide-less sea;
The Light of God was on its streets, the gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter, and no one was denied.
No need of moon or stars by night, or sun to shine by day,
It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away,
It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Sing for the night is o'er,
Hosanna in the highest, hosanna for evermore!
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna for evermore!

Along the Road
Along the road of life I have a friend Divine
Who walks with me and gently leads the way;
He gives me joy and makes the darkest night to shine
It is my Lord who won my heart today.
I do not mind the rough and winding hard way,
Or mountain steep through valley dark and cold;
It is enough to know He travels by my side
Along the road that leads to streets of gold.
For many years I did not know His love so true
Until I heard how on the cross He died;
I trusted Him and He became my Saviour too
and since that day he's journeyed by my side.
I do not mind the rough and winding hard way,
Or mountain steep through valley dark and cold;
It is enough to know He travels by my side
Along the road that leads to streets of gold.

Life's weaving
Accompanist: Miss Christine Tee
Recording: Miss Christine Tee
My life is but a weaving between my God and me,
I may not choose the colours, He knows what they should be.
For He can view the pattern upon the upper side,
while I can see it only on this the under side.
Sometimes He weaveth sorrow, which seems so strange to me,
But I will trust His judgement, and work on faithfully;
Tis He who fills the shuttle, He knows just what is best,
So I shall weave in earnest and leave with Him the rest.
At last, when life is ended, with Him I shall abide.
Then I may view the pattern, upon the upper side.
Then I shall know the reason why pain with joy entwined,
Was woven in the fabric of life that God designed.
All is well (Julian of Norwich)
When our life on earth is ended,
and the last day of the world.
We shall all be gathered in the presence of our God.
And in the things which now are hidden,
Which we cannot understand,
We will then see clearly God's loving, guiding hand.
None of us will say "If we had known these things,
there need not have been the pain."
Instead there will be joy at the amazing love
In everything ordained.
And we'll cry:
"Lord may You be blessed for all is well,
"Lord may You be blessed for all is well,
"Lord may You be blessed for all is well,
All is well forever!"
For in spite of all our pain and the sorrow we endure,
God is truly with us and His love forever sure.
It is His will that we should know
We are always in His care – God holds us in such love
We never need despair.
Chorus: (repeat)
"Lord may You be blessed for all is well,
"Lord may You be blessed for all is well,
"Lord may You be blessed for all is well,
All is well
Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Music: Traditional
Hail, O Lady of Mount Carmel
Proudly do our hearts recall
From the Church's ancient treasures
Comes the title dear to all
Dearest Lady of Mount Carmel
Souls of prayer we long to be
Intercede for us, we pray Thee
With the child upon Thy knee
Many saints Thy bless are sharing,
For to God their lives they vowed
On the Holy Mount of Carmel
Where Elias saw the cloud
Simon Stock received Thy promise
in the ages long ago,
Those who wear Thy holy habit
Cleansing fires scarce will know
At Thy call the great Teresa
scorned all earthly joys as dross
Smiled Thou on Therese of Jesus,
And inspired John of the Cross.
Lyrics: Carmel – Oklahoma
Music: Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph, Seremban, West Malaysia.
From your bright place in heaven,
Therese where you now reign
Let fall a shower of roses,
Do not our prayer disdain
Fair roses tinged with glory,
Faith's light hope's glad desire.
Love's flame so strong yet tender
To set our hearts aflame.
Send too the rose of childhood
That trusting openness,
Which finds in every moment,
Our Father's will to bless.
We honor You Oh Jesus
Revealed to little ones,
With Father and blest Spirit
While course of ages runs.
Mission - St. Elijah
Lyrics: Carmel - Oklahoma
Music: Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, West Malaysia.
Today to Saint Elijah
We lift our hearts appeal
For graces of His worship
and courage of His zeal
Upon the slopes of Carmel
In solitary prayer,
He heard God's message whispered
Upon the gentle air.
In deeps of contemplation
He learned God's holy will;
And then went forth with ardor
His mission to fulfill.
He pleaded with His people
to place in God their trust
Denounced the wicked rules,
The faithless, the unjust
May we in other ages;
God's sacred laws avow;
And listening to His spirit
Fulfill our missions now.
To love our great Creator
His Son and Spirit heed;
and so to love each other
And live our Christian creed
Paul's Prayer to the Ephesians
(dedicated to all the beautiful people who have helped and who help us in countless ways.)
Refrain: May Christ dwell in your heart through faith; may love be the root of your life.
I kneel before the Father's heart and ask His gift of Love for you,
That you may be filled with the fullness of Christ, and strengthened with His power
I ask the fullness of His gifts, that you may fully grasp and know
the length and the breadth and the height of Christ, and surrender to His Love.
To Him whose pow'r is now at work, the One who does more than we ask or desire,
To Him be glory in the Church and in you, forever, Amen, amen.
Your Word is as a Lamp
Lyrics: Carmel - Quidenham
Music: Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph, Seremban, West Malaysia.
St. Teresa of Avila: Teresa de Ahumada was born in 1515 in Avila, spain. When she was 20, she joined the Carmelite Monastry of the Incarnation where the Mitigated Rule was observed. She had a warm, attractive and vivacious personality which attracted many visitors to the Monastery.
After her 'second conversion' at the age of 39, Jesus became her "all". The "Good Jesus" became her only guide, her sole companion and the source of all Truth. She felt the need of an environment where she could live a life of greater and deeper intimacy with Jesus for His Church. At His urging she founded the Monastery of St. Joseph where the Primitive Rule was observed. Subsequently she founded 16 more such monasteries before her death in 1582.
St. Teresa's major writings are spiritual classics and she was declared the first woman Doctor of the Church in 1970.
Your Word is as a lamp
To light my feet along life's way
A light no gloom or darkness can defeat,
But makes night day.
Oh Mother make our hearts
Aflame with yours,
Our spirits high,
Our faith a flame that soars.
Yours was a love that did not count
The cost nor seek reward.
That held all earthly fame and joy well lost
For Christ our Lord.
A burning zeal to quench that thirsting cry from Calvary's height.
With Christ for souls to die
Teach us to die that only Christ
May live and reign alone.
Our hearts and minds our very selves to give,
To be His own.
The frail vase of our lives O may we break over our God.
All reckless for His sake.
Cantate Domino
Cantate Domino: Latin
Composer: G. Haendel

Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing all the earth, Alleluia

Sing and rejoice exceedingly with a string of instruments
Nations bless our God'. Give glory, praise, praise Him
Bl Elizabeth's Prayer
Lyrics: Her own prayer arranged to music Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph, Seremban, West Malaysia.
Music: Waltz in A Flat - J. Brahms
Oh my Blessed Three, Trinity Whom I adore;
I plead for self-forgetfulness that so many soul its calm retains.
Your peace in me, and I in You - Unchanging Lord this my plea:
Each moment swept into the depts of Your hidden mystery.
Oh calm my soul, make it Your heav'n, Your loved abode, Your place of rest
Oh there may I be wholly yielded to you!
Oh Beloved Christ, so crucified by love,
My one desire Your bride to be and cover You with glory Lord.
But yet I feel my frailty and ask You Lord identify my soul with all the movements of Your own soul.
Oh my Blessed Three Trinity whom I adore,
Possess, immerse me in Your self, adorn me with Your very self.
Adorer come, Redeemer come, O Saviour come, and this my prayer
That all my life to reflect Your own life Lord;
O Eternal Word, Beloved Star hold my gaze;
In darkness, void and powerlessness, O never let me leave You Lord.
Consuming Fire, Spirit of Love, O let the Word renew His Mystery in me
So Father sees His own Son.
Oh my Three my All, Trinity Whom I adore;
I give myself to you as prey so that consumed God may I be.
The Birth of Christ
Lyrics: St. John of the Cross
Music: Unknown
When the ancient dispensation its predestined course had run
Straight from out His bridal chamber came the Bridegroom, God the Son
Once on earth with arms extended He embraced His heavenly bride,
And His Blessed Mother laid Him in the manger at her side
All around that helpless baby animals were standing by;
Men sang songs of glad rejoicing, angels joined their song on high.
Celebrating the betrothal "twixt the Bridegroom and the bride
While the Almighty in the manger, as an infant wept and cried.
Gems these tears which human nature brought to the betrothal rite,
And the maid was lost in wonder as she witnessed such a sight.
Man was full of joy and gladness, God was weeping weak and lone;
Ne'er before throughout the ages had so strange a thing be known.
Ave Maria
Composer: Maria Parkinson
As I kneel before you, as I bow my head in prayer
Take this day make it yours and fill me with your love
Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum, benedicta tu
All I have I give you, every dream and wish are yours
Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,
Present them to my Lord.
As I kneel before you and I see your smiling face
Every thought, every word is lost in your embrace.
My Beloved Passing Fair
My beloved passing fair.
Love has drawn your likeness see
In your inmost heart and there;
Lost or straying unaware;
You must seek yourself in Me.
Well I know that you shall find;
this your image im My heart,
Pictured to the life with art,
So amazing that your mind,
Sees your very counterpart.
If by chance you e'er shall doubt
where to turn in searh of Me;
Seek not all the world about;
Only this can find Me out,
You must seek Myself in you.
In the mansion of your mind is
My dwelling place and more,
There I wander unconfined,
Knocking loud if e'er I find
In your thought a closed door.
Search for Me without were vain,
Since when you have need of Me,
Only call Me, and again to your side
I haste a-main.
You must seek Myself in you.
Lyrics: St. Teresa of Avila (Tr. A. Stirling)
Music: Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph, Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, West Malaysia.
Poem by St. Teresa where she pictures god addressing a person, calling him/her 'my Beloved' and making it clear to us where we can find Him…..not outside of us but to look for Him within ourselves. "When you have need of Me, only call Me and to your side I haste; You must seek Me in you."
Jesus - St. Albert
Jesus - St. Albert
Jesus and Jesus alone, the cry from St. Albert goes on.
Through centuries his voice is still heard,
Allegiance, allegiance to Christ.
A Rule you did hand us O Albert, to help us attain perfect love.
Ponder the law of the Lord, His word in your mouth day and night.
Struggle, we must all our lives, "Gainst sovereignties powers on high
Your strength will be in silence and hope, the Word of the Lord in your hearts.
For those who wish to be the greatest must first become servant and slave
Just as the Lord Himself came not to be served but to serve.
Lyrics & Music: Composed by Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, West Malaysia.

Soil: Soil is the most important ingredient to success with growing plants. Poor soil will lead to failure and disappointment. The problem is that many gardners do not take the time to understand their garden soil completely. Providing your soil with fertilizer is not enough and could in some instances be counter productive. Remember, the most important ingredient to your success is soil that has good soil structure.
Soil with good structure allows for water to drain and holds nutrients essential to plant growth. This may differ with different plant species so understanding your plants needs will determine if your soil needs to be amended. Do not assume that adding organic matter is a cure all. While many plants benefit from a rich organic soil, some do not. To learn more about soil read, The Role of Soil.
Soils needs Fertility Maintenance: Soil is a combination of finely divided rocks, minerals and organic matter. Sand, silt, clay and organic matter help provide tilth, necessary aeration and favorable water intake rates, but will leach nutrients and to maintain healthy plant growth a fertilizer will be needed. Poor fertilization practices can lead to problems with nitrates finding their way into surface water... streams, lakes, rivers... and into ground water. It's important to apply fertilizers correctly to both provide needed nutrients to plants and to prevent runoff and leaching. Trees, shrubs, and perennials plants utilize stored nutrient reserves during the first flush of spring growth. Fertilizer is applied to replace nutrients needed by plants and keep the plants healthy. Keep in mind that fertilizer is not plant "food." Fertilizer simply provides the nutrients that a plant needs so that it can make its own food using energy from the sun by the process of photosynthesis.
Fertilization times causes us a dilemma. Should we fertilize the lawn at the right time or fertilize our trees and shrubs at the right time? Fall fertilization can lead to problems especially when tender plants are fertilized late in the season. Fall is the best time to fertilize our lawns to keep them healthy and thick enough to keep weeds out. What should we do? There may be no good solution. However, try to avoid applying fall lawn fertilizers to areas above tender trees and shrub roots. Slow-release fertilizers would help avoid a late flush of growth on woody plants that might be stimulated with a quick-release type of fertilizer. How much fertilizer should be applied to individual trees and shrubs? That's one of those questions that's hard to answer directly. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the size of the plant and the type of fertilizer applied. To help you determine the amount of fertilizer you should apply to trees and shrubs, contact your local Cooperative Extension for assistance.
How can you tell if your plants need fertilizer? Look for plants that aren't putting on good growth, where leaves are undersized and chlorotic or yellow. Here again we have another dilemma, because these are also symptoms of other plant problems. In many cases the symptoms of poor growth and yellow leaves turn out to be a root or soil moisture problem. If the tree or shrub has trunk injury, root damage, girdling roots, root rot or excessive soil moisture or drought, the symptoms will be pretty much the same. Fertilizer will not help these plants or solve the problem of poor growth.
Sunlight: Light is needed for plants to grow but the degree of light required by a plant can differ. Some plants require bright full sun, while other need to be in a shady location. The decision to place plants in a specific lighting is determined by it's growth habits. For example: a daylily grown in full sun will produce many blooms but the same daylily planted in partial shade will grow but will have much fewer blooms. The decision of where to plant is both knowing the plant's characteristics and what you design goal is.
The degrees of light are: Full Sun, Light Shade/Partial Sun, Bright Shade and Deep Shade. To more fully understand light, read Plants and Light.
Climate: Not all plants will thrive within their zone rating due to micro-climates. A plant maybe rated zone 5 hardy but does not survive the winter in your zone 5 location. Why is this? Other factors are at play here. A plant rated zone 5 may not be able to tolerate windy dry conditions in the winter but if planted in a sheltered location will thrive. A plant that has good snow cover in zone 4 does well, yet the same plant in zone 5b with less snow cover dies over the winter. There are many factors that contribute to climate effecting plants. If you see the plant growing in your neighborhood, it would be a logical decision that it will grow for you. For more on Climate and Zones read Climate and Planting Zones.
Watering: All the processes that occur within a plant require water. Nutrients would not move through the soil and be available to the plants without water. Water also provides density and strength to the plant structure. Without water, plants sag and leaves wither. Too much water can have dramatic effects on plants also. When soil is robbed of oxygen because of too much water, roots cannot perform properly and begin to rot. This of course effects the entire plant above ground. Waterlogged soil also has a tendency to more easily spread diseases.
Striking the correct balance is essential. Understanding the needs of individual species is also critical. Some plants require wet soils, while other need little water. Plants that grow in bogs have roots that can acquire nutrients from the water. These same characteristics are not true of plants that do not grow in water. They will quickly starve and die.
Another important issue to understand is the soil a plant is growing in. Sandy soil quickly drains while a clay soil can become hard and water will just run off. Adding compost and organic matter aides with developing a well aerated soil that allows for proper drainage.
Achieving the correct balance and correcting any problems is the road to a green thumb along with reading Watering Plants Properly.
Planting: Plants can be started from seed, divisions of existing plants or purchased from a nursery. In all cases plants need a good start. If a plant is not given a good start, it will only disappoint. Providing a large enough growing space with good soil, proper watering and fertilizer is a must. Learn how to properly plant and provide a healthy start to plants read, Providing a Healthy Start.
Controlling Weeds: What is a weed? It is a plant that is not desired in the location it is growing. One person's choice garden plant is another person's weed! There are two main types of weed, they are either annual or perennial. Both can be a big problem. Annual weeds can be reduced by not letting existing plants to seed. This will reduce next year's crop. Perennials need a two step approach. As with annuals, do not let them go to seed. In addition, they must be removed by the roots to eliminate the plant from returning the next year. To learn more about controlling weeds, read Controlling Weeds
Mulching: Mulch is a covering over the soil. This occurs naturally in nature with leaves and decaying matter. The benefits of mulch are adding nutrients to the soil, improving drainage, winter and summer insulation, holds water, attracts earthworms, prevents erosion, weed control and is attractive. Mulch, however, has it's drawbacks if applied incorrectly. Learn about mulch, read All About Mulching
Common Garden Pests:
Common Garden Friends:
Common Plant Diseases: Disease fungi take their energy from the plants on which they live. They are responsible for a great deal of damage and are characterized by wilting, scabs, moldy coatings, rusts, blotches and rotted tissue. When a plant is attacked by one of these microorganisms the damage caused provides an opportunity for the others to get in and it is the combined onslaught which deals the final blow. Also if it is under stress, such as through drought or poor nutrition it is more susceptible. Read more, Plant Diseases.
