This is my first post on this forum, so before I say anything else, Hi, it's good to be here.
I was finally able to register for this forum last night, with my password coming through sometime between then and this morning (Aust time). I previously tried to register for this forum several weeks ago. I completed the registration process and received a message telling me that my password would be sent to my email address - but it never turned up. About 2 weeks later I submitted a message using the Aptosid website Contact page. This time an automated message was sent to my email address, saying that my message had been received and someone would get back to me. Three weeks later I had received no further contact, so I sent another message through the Contact page. Again I received an automated email saying that someone would contact me - but once again I waited for about three weeks and there has been no further contact.
In the interim, assuming that my original registration had failed, I tried to re-register using the same details as before. This time I received a message saying that my registration failed because my email address was already being used. I assume this meant that my original registration succeeded but the email with my password had somehow gone astray. For the sake of argument I will just assume that I entered my email address incorrectly. Finally, last night I used a different login name and my work email address (which I am not supposed to do). This time everything went like clockwork. I am now registered, and I have changed my email address.
My suggestion, resulting from the above, is that Aptosid needs to have a better system for responding to issues that are sent in from the Contact page. I appreciate that forum moderators are very busy, and that they are selflessly donating their own time, and I really do appreciate them for doing so. However, when a new person is trying to join the community, and is asking for assistance to do so, it does not reflect well on the community when they are unable to get any sort of response from someone, other than an auto-response email.
To finish on a more positive note. I originally registered for the forum when I first swapped over to Aptosid and I was having several different problems getting it to work on my Toshiba NB550D netbook. In the weeks since then I have solved most of those problems myself, learning some things that I previously knew nothing about. I still have a couple of problems, but the system is mainly working well.

most of the time the registration succeeds but the automated Mail send to confirm the registrations falls in into some Spam ordner and this prevents the account confirmation.
anyway welcome and have fun.

I've been quiet, but I haven't been a complete slug. The holidays were mainly a fall-back period, in which we enjoyed our favorite cocktails and didn't try a lot of new drinks. I sampled a few new whisk(e)ys–bourbons, scotches, and ryes–during the holidays, and I've come up with a fun way to evaluate a new whiskey: in addition to drinking it straight, I mix it up into an Old Fashioned.
(As an aside, Drinkboy Robert Hess, to whom I've just linked, is no relation to my wife, Jennifer Hess, despite the fact that Jen's dad and Drinkboy are both named Robert Hess. I tease her sometimes about this. Whenever Drinkboy has a new article or blog post, I say to Jen, "Hey, guess what 'your dad' just said!" I am a frivolous man.)
Back to the Old Fashioned, I've fallen in complete love with the technique demonstrated on the video blog Brilliant Cocktails. All that stirring with the ice really blends the flavors and chills the drink. I'm sure this is the way I should have been mixing my Old Fashioneds all along, but I'm dumb and never knew it. The extra work and time really pay off.
On our last trip to LeNell's, I picked up a bottle of Fee's Lemon Bitters. I've used this in a lot of drinks since picking it up. I'd recommend it anywhere you'd use orange bitters, or anywhere you'd like a bit of lemon flavor. The brothers Fee use lemongrass and lemon oils to make a piquant and spicy bitters. I think I'm especially surprised by the depth of flavor here because Fee's Orange, compared to the Regan's, is a little flat.
Finally, I'm sure everyone who reads this blog also reads Darcy's The Art of Drink and Paul's Cocktail Chronicles. If you don't, you should. I mean no false modesty to say they're better bloggers than I am. They have more experience and knowledge than I do, and they post more often.
But anyway, go check out Darcy's recent series about the science of spirits tastings. It's fascinating stuff, and with Darcy's chemistry background, he's the perfect person to parse the science literature so we don't have to. Darcy's the Harold McGee of drink!
And Paul's in the middle of an excellent series on rye tastings (I'd link to all of his posts, but I don't think he's done yet), in conjunction with his article in the latest Imbibe magazine. I guess if Paul had slept with Sinatra and Presley, he could be the Gael Greene of drink. Or something. Anyway, his rye series is great. Go read, goddammit.
P.S. MxMo is pending this Monday. Have you sorted out your winter warmers yet? I know what I'm doing, and although it's hardly unique or original, I think I'll have fun with it.
P.P.S. Oh, I bought a bottle of Fernet Branca. Still puzzling this stuff over. Not sure yet what to make of it–or with it, for that matter. I'm open to suggestion.

Health officials say it appears similar to the one that ran rampant in 2009. In the 2009-10 flu season, 284,000 people died from swine flu worldwide.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that the flu is in full swing in many parts of the country. The latest CDC figures from the final week of 2013 show significant flu activity in 25 states, especially in the most populous ones such as New York, Texas and Illinois.
Classic flu symptoms include aching body, fever, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose and extreme sneezing. But anyone who has been afflicted with this particular strain of flu knows that each of those symptoms, which may sound like a common cold, manifests in exceptionally aggressive and uncomfortable ways. And did we mention they can kill?
During the 2009 outbreak, many people did not get a flu shot because of a shortage of vaccine. But vaccine is plentiful this year, and it's available not only at hospitals and clinics but at many pharmacies and even grocery stores. There is no good reason not to get a shot.
At particular risk are older adults, children under 5 and anyone who has heart or lung disease, diabetes, asthma or who may be pregnant.
The CDC advises everyone to get a flu shot each year and take additional preventive action by washing hands and avoiding contact with sick people. But it's important to know the signs of the flu and treat them immediately. See a doctor and take all the medication prescribed.
And don't even think about treating this flu as something to "power through." It is neither heroic nor admirable to show up at work or school with it. It is stupid for you and inconsiderate of others.
This is all common sense, but it's amazing how widely it's ignored from year to year. So we're trying again. Get a shot.

mixed berries with lemon honey sorbet
The weather seems to be getting hotter. In the heat, it is hard to concentrate and get things done at times. Here is a fresh and simple summer dessert: mixed berries with sorbet. I made a quick lemon honey sorbet for my berry salad. If its too hot or inconvenient, I suggest buying some lemon or raspberry sorbet to spoon on top.
Lemon honey sorbet
100 g. sugar
100 g. honey
275 ml water
juice of 7 lemons
Place the sugar, honey and water in a pan, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while. Juice your lemons. Mix the lemon juice and the sugar syrup together, cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight. Stir sorbet mixture and freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Montana's Swedish Santa Clause
Swiss Billionaire Hansjorg Wyss donates a huge amount to protect the beautiful land we live on here in Montana. He donated $35 Million to help shield 1 million acres from future development.
Matthew Brown - Associated Press
Philanthropist Hansjorg Wyss grew up in Switzerland and now spends the bulk of his time outside Philadelphia, but it is the wild landscapes of the Rocky Mountains where he could leave his most lasting mark.
In recent years the publicity-shy billionaire has quietly donated tens of millions of dollars to the preservation of pristine areas of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and other states.
Now, what appears to be his most ambitious project to date has come to fruition as conservation groups this month closed a deal to purchase vast tracts of Plum Creek Timber Co. land in western Montana. Backers say the deal — which included $35 million in donations from Wyss — could shield an estimated one million acres from future development.
In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Wyss, 75, said he first became enamored of the Rockies as a college student who toured the region in 1958. And he defended his actions against those who chafe at the prospect of an outsider buying up land that in some cases has been logged, ranched or farmed for generations.
"Look, these are beautiful landscapes," Wyss said. "There was controversy when Yellowstone (National Park) was created and when they declared the Grand Canyon as a National Monument. But there are areas in the United States that must be protected."

How to Unleash the Potential in your Network
If you are reading this, you are probably interested in getting more out of your network. You have most likely made a huge investment in your network, but you simply aren't getting the payback you had been expecting. How can Cisco help in this regard? That's just one of the many concepts we will be covering in our webinar October 24: Get Your Network Ready for BYOD, Video, and Cloud with Cisco Unified Access!
It all starts with management, for which Cisco has two key priorities:
- (a) Convergence
- (b) Enabling features and instrumentations inherent Cisco devices
The Path to Convergence
Many customers today have, over the years, accumulated multiple disparate tools to manage various aspects of their network. For instance, one tool for monitoring, another tool for performance visibility, a third tool for configuration management, etc.
Managing and supporting these various tools can lead to productivity loss, which effectively moves the priorities and focus of the IT organization away from strategic initiatives for the organization. When would a network manager have the time to consider how advanced IOS features could be used by IT organizations to drive operational efficiencies through network automation, when all of their time is being sucked up by having to manage multiple, fragmented network management systems.
Cisco Prime allows IT organizations to drive productivity by converging many functions into a single pane of glass. Converging wired and wireless functions, including reactive/proactive monitoring, configuration management, software image management for device management as well as end-to-end visibility across the network, including applications, services and end-users, under one management, Cisco Prime simplifies the network management process and returns IT to its proper seat at the table to help the greater organization make business decisions.
Unleashing the Potential in your Network
Once you have a single pane of glass to manage your network, the next logical step would be to start leveraging the many underlying features and instrumentations in IOS to automate repetitive tasks. An added benefit of turning on these integrated features is increased visibility and control of what's connected to your network, right down to client-specific application response time.
In order to help our customers get more out of their network, the Cisco Prime team prioritizes enablement of Cisco's key architectures and transitions, including Borderless Network, Collaboration, Unified Access and even BYOD, for seamless integration with Prime in the network.
Here are just a few of the things we'll discuss in the webinar about Cisco Prime::
- Automated network assessment and configuration of Borderless Networking technologies such as Medianet, EnergyWise, TrustSec, Auto Smartports, and Smart Install (up to 90% reduction in time to deploy BN technologies)
- Turn on advanced IOS features such as Embedded Event Manager, IPSLA and others throughout the network in a blink of an eye and leverage advanced wireless features such as CleanAir and others in order to deliver more robust and reliable wireless services
- Turn on many advanced instrumentations, such as netflow, flexible netflow, Application Visibility & Control, NBAR, Medianet, and gain end-to-end visibility down to applications, services and end-users – and you don't need to be experts in AVC and NBAR in order to do this. As with the Borderless Network technologies, Cisco Prime helps to abstract the complexity involved in accomplishing this. Best of all, you can leverage Cisco Prime's embedded intelligence in terms of normalizing, correlating and aggregating the various data sources in a way that makes sense for you!
- Smart Interactions, allowing you to resolve network issues quickly (e.g., open TAC cases, search the Cisco support community and view all outstanding TAC cases contextually from within Cisco Prime). Let's face it, if you have network issues, the last thing you want to do is waste time. Smart Interactions allows you to turn your focus on where it needs to be, on resolving the problems.
- Robust inventory reports with differentiated reports highlighting devices impacted by EoX and PSIRTs, giving you visibility over the state of your network
- Out-of-the-box compliance rules/policies for common regulatory standards such as PCI, HIPAA, etc., including automated remediation based on best practices that Cisco has accumulated over the years
Tune in to our webinar Wednesday Oct 24 to learn more about how Cisco Prime can help you unleash the full potential in your network. You can register today.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Weather-Climate Connection Science
Weather is what you experience outside every day, whereas climate is a description of what happens over a given period, which can be weeks, months or years. Weather conditions over the United States are strongly affected by climate variations occurring in the tropical oceans, atmosphere, and the polar vortex. They also are influenced by changes in surface characteristics (for example, in sea surface temperatures, soil moisture, and snow cover) and storm track shifts associated with planetary-scale circulation changes.
Weather-Climate connection science is about improving NOAA's understanding and ability to predict the mutual connections of weather and climate phenomena and translating this knowledge into improved operational forecast products. There are two major aspects to this research. First, we must understand the slow climate variations (such as week-to-week shifts in the position of the jet stream the strength of the polar vortex, and the behavior of "atmospheric rivers") that affect the frequency and severity of weather systems. Second, we must use this understanding to improve the ability of the National Weather Service's (NWS) weather and climate prediction systems to forecast the risk of extreme weather events and provide better warnings to the public.
How are weather and climate connected?
There are many ways in which climate and weather are connected. The frequency and intensity of hurricanes is influenced by changes in sea-surface temperature and upper- level wind patterns in the tropical Atlantic that occur on monthly, seasonal, decadal, and longer timescales. Shifts in the position of the jet streams in mid-latitudes can affect where storms will develop. These jet-stream shifts can occur on seasonal time scales (in association with El Nino) and also on weekly times scales (associated with planetary scale meanders of the jet-stream itself, which are often related to changing conditions in the tropical atmosphere). Mid-latitude storms are steered by the jet stream and get their energy from temperature contrasts associated with it. Relatively slow variations in these global-scale properties and patterns are generally more predictable than individual weather systems.
ESRL has led the development of a major example of this type of work, that of "atmospheric rivers". Atmospheric rivers are narrow regions of the atmosphere that are a part of extratropical storms where vast quantities of water vapor are transported. Research has shown that they account for >90% of the total pole-ward water vapor transport in the midlatitudes. In addition, wherever these features strike coastal mountains for example they can lead to extreme rainfall, flooding and debris flows. In short, not only do atmospheric rivers play a crucial role in the global water budget, they can also lead to extreme precipitation and flooding, and thus represent a key phenomenon linking weather and climate.
Although winter storms are a major focus of the weather-climate connection, more "benign" weather extremes also provide forecast challenges, particularly for air quality. For example, on the U.S. west coast, the position of the subtropical high pressure zone in the summer has a major impact on ozone production as well as energy demand. Similarly, in the winter, forecasting fine particle concentrations for visibility and health effects will require concurrent improvements in forecasting snow cover and the persistence of stagnant high pressure regimes. Therefore, weather-climate connection research will improve predictions of the risk of extreme weather events at longer forecast leads than we do now.
Why is it important?
Long-term changes in global or regional weather patterns affect all aspects of our society, ranging from land use, energy use, water supply, air quality, and transportation, to overall safety and security. Extreme weather events such as floods, heat waves, and cold snaps can have devastating economic, environmental, and societal impacts. Providing warning of the enhanced risk of an extreme event allows opportunity for averting or mitigating the effects of these events, saving lives and property and mitigating economic impacts. For example, improved temperature forecasts can benefit the energy industries. Similarly, forecasts of local heavy rain in mountainous terrain and improve warnings of debris flows that lead to loss of life and property. Anticipating changes in the likelihood and intensity of extreme weather events in the context of changing climate conditions can also provide critical foundations for policy development, e.g., can we expect more intense land-falling hurricanes, severe storms and floods to affect vulnerable urban areas?
What can we predict?
Some aspects of weather extremes are predicted quite well by current operational prediction models. However, translating the output of these models into accurate and reliable estimates of the extreme event risk is an emerging area of research at NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory. An example is the series of storms that caused extensive flooding and landslides in La Conchita area of Ventura County California in January 2005.
Pictures of damage done by heavy rainfall in La Conchita California during the second week of January 2005.
Illustration of an atmospheric river striking Southern California on January 9th, 2005, which produced up to 30 inches of rainfall in 4 days in the coastal mountains and led to a deadly debris flow pictured at right. The satellite image in the upper left shows areas of large water vapor content (green to red), while the lower left panel shows the large values of water observed by GPS receivers in the area. ESRL research has led to the identification of 2 cm of water vapor as a key threshold distinguishing atmospheric river conditions. In this event the value was almost double the threshold.
Weather models were able to predict the jet stream variations that led to the floods more than a week in advance. Techniques developed at ESRL for translating the model output into a risk of extreme precipitation were able to provide advance warning of flooding conditions.
A map showing the forecast of the risk of more than 2 inches of rainfall, issued on January 3 for the 5 day period from January 8 to January 13, 2005. The location of the flooding shown in the photo is indicated by the red dot, where the forecast risk of greater than 2 inches of rain exceeds 50%. This is an experimental forecast produced developed at ESRL.

- Improving predictions with retrospective forecasts
- NOAA Hydrometerological Testbed
- "Atmospheric Rivers" and U.S. rainfall
- Experimental MJO prediction website
- Atmospheric rivers documented over the Eastern Pacific Ocean
- The role of atmospheric rivers in flooding on California's Russian River
How can we improve predictions?
Some types of jet-stream fluctuations are not well predicted by NWS models, particularly those related to week-to-week changes in the tropical atmosphere. Better understanding of the processes in the tropical atmosphere that lead to jet-stream variations is needed so that we can improve the ability of forecast models to predict them. Determining the risk of an extreme event requires detailed knowledge of all the uncertainties in the model forecast. Improving our estimates of these uncertainties results directly in more accurate and reliable warnings. Both of these are active areas of ESRL research. One source of uncertainty is the observational information used to start a forecast model, another is in the physics of the models themselves. For example, our current global observing system does not monitor water vapor transport, which means that atmospheric rivers may appear in the models with incorrect amount of water vapor, strength of wind, or both. Similarly, the physical representation of atmospheric rivers in the global models may be inadequate due to spatial resolution limitations.
How does society benefit from this research?
Early and accurate storm warnings can save life and property on large and small scales. For example, seven of the ten most expensive hurricanes in US history occurred in the 14 months from August 2004 to October 2005, including Katrina ($40.0 billion insured losses), Rita ($4.7 billion), and Wilma ($6.1 billion). Hurricane Katrina affected the entire states of Mississippi and Louisiana, plus twenty two counties in Alabama and nine in Florida. Rita affected all of Louisiana plus twenty six counties in Texas. Research has reduced hurricane track error by a factor of 4 in 40 years, yet there still remains substantial room for improvement if we are to reduce the societal and economic impacts of severe storms. Similarly, Sacramento is protected by a dam upstream that is undersized for major floods that are the result of atmospheric rivers striking the area. Improvements in forecasts could reduce the risk of catastrophic urban flooding in this state capital, and could help address concerns in water resource management in the area that is posed by changing climate.

Ashley Greene — Crush of the Day
Ashley Greene is an actress and model, and her latest movie 'LOL' with Miley Cyrus will get absolutely demolished at the box office this weekend by something called 'The Avengers.' We feel bad for Ashley, not just because she had to hang around Miley for so long, but because of the upcoming box office butt-kicking. So Ashley is our 'Crush of the Day.'
Born in Jacksonville, FL, Greene decided to pursue a career in acting at a young age. She opted to graduate from high school early and moved to L.A. to audition for roles in movies and television. She landed small parts on episodes of 'Crossing Jordan' and 'Shark'. In 2008, Greene got her big break when she was cast as Alice Cullen in 'Twilight'.
Greene posed almost-naked for SoBe advertisements in the 2010 issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. A year earlier, some people were lucky enough to see her completely naked, when nude self portraits leaked onto the internet. Her attorneys threatened to sue various websites that published the pictures. Killjoys.
Even though people were threatened, the pictures are still floating around the internet. Where? Right here. You're welcome.

So the last time I was down in London I spent a lot of time in the Mary Quant shop and ended up with some really cool products! One of the items I had on my hit list was their Eye Gloss.
Eye Gloss? Who remembers Calvin Klein's make up range and how they had a eye gloss. LOVE the concept, hate the results. I was a bit disappointed when I found out this Eye Gloss is NOT an eye gloss at all; it's better.
The Mary Quant Eye Gloss Treatment Eye Foundation is a eyeshadow primer and concealer. It's called an eye foundation as you use it all over your eye area, under and on top:
It is also supposed to be hydrating for the eye area, no SPF though, and it comes in 2 shades. I chose 02 which is slightly darker than 01.
It comes in a small squeezy tube like this. Could it be better in a different type of container like with a sponge tipped applicator? Yes, but this way is quite hygienic too.
Here is shade 02:
A few points about this product; it has a slightly oily, runny texture which is really nice to use around the eye area as it doesn't drag or feel heavy, which is a real no no around the eye area. Maybe that is why they called it an Eye Gloss, because of this oily-ish texture.
Also the colour is in the end, quite sheer so really I could've gone for either 01 or 02. It blends in easily and creates an even base but I didn't detect and ashiness which makes me think it could work well on women with darker skin too.
Under the eye it helped lift my circles a little but make no mistake; you need additional concealer if you have medium to dark circles.
As for a primer; it creates a nice even base that isn't too heavy like other primers can be. It feels slightly wet which I really like as I think this makes the eyeshadow stick.
On my bare eye – sorry about the brows!
After – noticeably more even I think.
In terms of longevity, this made my eyeshadow last til the end of the day although it didn't remain creaseless although I can't think of many primers that do that these days anyway. Also this remains nice and moist on the skin, unlike say UDPP which makes shadow hard to blend.
Here is the ingredients list:
I really like this product; it's multi use and generally evens out the whole eye area.
It cost me £12.50 which is fine because this product should last a year or so.

How to replace a cracked screen on an iPhone 6
Have an iPhone 5 with a busted screen? We understand the pain of picking up your iPhone off the ground only to find pieces of glass falling out of it. Unfortunately, broken screens aren't covered under the standard AppleCare warranty, and if you didn't opt for AppleCare+, a replacement iPhone 5 can cost a few hundred dollars. However, a replacement screen itself isn't that expensive and luckily the repair itself is one of the easier ones to perform. So if you're up for the task, follow along and we'll walk you through step by step!
What you need to DIY replace a cracked screen on an iPhone 5
- iPhone 5 LCD & digitizer replacement - Buy black screen now, Buy white screen now
- Suction cup - Buy now
- 5-point security screwdriver - Buy now
- Standard #000 Phillips screwdriver - Buy now
- Spudger tool - Buy now
- Razor blade - Buy Now
- iSesamo Opening tool (not necessary but awesome for prying up cables and getting under adhesive) - Buy Now
Video walkthrough
Our video will walk you through disassembly to reassembly. Even though it's possible to perform this repair using only the video, we highly suggest reading the written walkthrough and viewing the high quality images below. Both guides are meant to compliment each other so we suggest reading and watching both before actually performing the repair.
Power off your iPhone 5
Before performing any repair, you should always turn your iPhone completely off by holding down the Power Button and using the Slide to power off feature. Once the iPhone has completely turned off, you can move on to the next step.
Remove the two security screws in the dock connector
There are two security screws on either side of the Lightning connector port. Use your security screwdriver to remove them.
Remove the damaged display
There are two methods for removing the display. If you've cracked the bottom pretty badly you may find it hard to get a seal with a suction cup. We'll walk you through both ways of removing the display.
Suction cup method
This is the method we recommend and the one you should use if you can get a seal. If not, use the straight edge razor method below.
- Position your suction cup firmly above the Home button.
- Gently pull upwards while holding the phone down with your other hand.
- The display is in there pretty good so you'll have to apply quite a bit of strength to pull it out. Just make sure you keep your hand over the top of the iPhone as you don't want to completely pull the display off. There are still cables attached underneath.
- Once the display has dislodged from the device, swing it upwards to expose the cables connecting it underneath.
- Move on to the next section.
Straight edge razor blade method
If the bottom of your iPhone 5 screen has shattered badly, it'll be next to impossible to get a good enough seal to pry it up. You'll need a straight edged razor blade for this method. Be careful and work slowly not only so you don't damage the iPhone but more importantly, so you don't cut or hurt yourself.
- Start at either side of the Home button and carefully work the razor blade between the frame and the glass.
- Slowly pry upwards until you get an edge freed enough that you can slip a pry tool or spudger in between.
- Now set the razor blade aside and continue to work around the bottom and bottom edges until you free the display from the frame.
- Do not pull it straight upwards but instead, swing it upwards as there are still cables attached at the top we need to remove.
Remove the iPhone 5 display panel
- There's a silver shield covering the LCD and digitizer cables. Remove the three screws holding the shield in place with your #00 Phillips screwdriver.
- Gently lift the shield out of the iPhone 5.
- Now you have a clear view of the cables holding the display assembly to the logic board. Use your spudger or pry tool to carefully pry all three cables from the logic board.
You can now lift the front digitizer and LCD assembly off the device.
Ready the new iPhone 5 display
Odds are your new replacement display will come stripped down to nothing but the display assembly. We'll need to remove some pieces off the old cracked display to place on the new display before laying the new assembly in place.
Remove the display shield, earpiece shield, and earpiece assembly
- There are a total of eight screws holding the display and earpiece shield in place. They are outlined in the picture below. Remove all eight screws using your #00 Phillips screwdriver.
- Now use your pry tool or spudger to carefully lift up the display shield off the back of the display. The best way is to slip your pry tool beneath the shield at the bottom on either side of the Home button. The shield will easily lift off.
- Now remove the earpiece shield at the top by lifting it off and setting it aside.
- The actual earpiece assembly sits directly below the shield and will easily lift off as well. Set it aside.
Remove the front-facing camera and sensor cable
- The front-facing camera and sensor cable sits to the left of where the earpiece assembly was and lines the top of the device. We need to remove it.
- Carefully lift it up but notice the kink in the cable underneath the front-facing camera. The noise canceling mic is pushed into the display assembly. Pop it out carefully.
- The rest of the cable is only held in with a tiny bit of adhesive. Carefully peel it back to finish removing the cable from the display assembly.
Remove the Home button assembly
- Remove the two screws on either side of the Home button assembly using your #00 Phillips screwdriver.
- Start lifting the Home button shield starting on the left side but don't pull completely up yet.
- On the right hand side you'll see a contact that's stuck to the display assembly that runs on the Home button shield. Use your finger or pry tool to carefully break the adhesive.
- Set the Home button shield aside.
- Now we've just got to remove the actual Home button. Simply push the Home button up from the front of the assembly and use your pry tool or a metal spatula to loosen the gasket on the back side. The Home button should come free pretty easily.
Transfer the removed components to the new iPhone 5 display assembly
Now that we've removed everything from the old assembly, we can transfer it to the new, unbroken assembly. In order to do this, just follow the above directions in reverse order or refer to our video where we'll walk you through readying the new assembly.
Once you've finished readying the new assembly, continue on.
Replace the iPhone 5 display assembly
- Start by securing the three cables back to the logic board.
- Replace the logic board shield cover over the cables and secure it with the three screws we originally removed using your #00 Phillips screwdriver.
- There are plastic clips that run along the top of the display assembly like you can see below. These need to sit underneath the inside of the frame.
- Starting from the top make sure you slide the clips in place and carefully work your way around the edges of the display applying even pressure to snap the display into place.
Replace the dock connector screws
Use your security screwdriver to replace the two screws on either side of the Lightning connector port.
And ...done!
Now that you've finished reassembling your iPhone 5 you can go ahead and turn it back on by pressing and holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo.
If all went well, your iPhone should boot up just fine. Make sure to test the new replacement for dead spots and check the display quality to make sure there are no dead pixels or discoloration. Since you did have to transfer components that control brightness, sound, and the proximity sensor - it's always a good idea to test those functions too so you know you transferred all the components over correctly.

The Chargers have made a habit of blowing leads in the second halves of games this season.
They've got another chance to show they can actually protect one. They lead the Bengals 13-10 at halftime in San Diego after a Nick Novak field goal as time expired in the second quarter.
Philip Rivers turned in an excellent half, hitting on his first 10 passes and completing 16-0f-23 for 189 yards overall. He's also shown a better knack for throwing balls away instead of forcing things that have turned into turnovers earlier this season. The Chargers have relied heavily on Rivers, they've run just four times, and it is paying off for them thus far.
Andy Dalton has had some good moments, but the Chargers scored their only touchdown on an interception return by Demorrio Williams. Dalton also missed A.J. Green in the end zone in the second quarter when the Bengals wound up settling for a field goal. With BenJarvus Green-Ellis running well (77 yards on 11 carries) and the defense keeping the Chargers out of the end zone, the quarterback needs to do a little bit more to get his team a win they need to improve their shot at a playoff berth.

The problem: The phone keeps ringing, projects pile up, we try to multitask, but all we keep thinking about is the project we're not doing, so we sacrifice quality and blame it all on limited time and resources.
The cause: "We're saddled with a Stone Age mind in a digital world," Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn told Google employees as he introduced them to meditation in 2007. A pioneer of blending Western medicine with mindfulness meditation, Kabat-Zinn is a molecular biologist, a trained Zen teacher, and founder of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. In that talk at the "Googleplex" in Mountain View, Calif., Kabat-Zinn defined the Stone Age mind as the tendency to fall into obsession with doing (as in the next thing to survive) and ignore the doer (as in the one active right now).
In her book The One Who is Not Busy—Connecting with Work in a Deeply Satisfying Way, Zen teacher Darlene Cohen writes that we fail at multitasking when we stay in the perception of the whole (our schedule), and don't settle on anything because we keep shifting focus. When we've taken the time to settle on the doer, who only exists whenwe're actually doing something, our schedule is a balanced interconnectedness of tasks, and when we haven't done that our schedule appears chaotic.
The solution: According to Cohen we can find relief by "matching focused awareness to whatever motions our hands and bodies are actually doing at the moment." It is much more satisfying than paying attention to something we're not doing. I've found it useful to include sensations in the body as part of the activities to be aware of. Once our feet are firmly planted in our current activity, we can look at the rest of our schedule for perspective and then go back to the task at hand. She calls this type of focus "simultaneous inclusion." Dr. Zinn presents his version of this point in this short, guided meditation taken from his 2007 Google talk.
Here is an exercise from Cohen's book that is strikingly useful in the workplace, called "Talking Meditation":
"In any conversation, short or long, tune in to your own breath at least three times while (1) listening to another person speak, and (2) while you yourself are talking… This is true simultaneous inclusion. You are thinking and feeling your breath at the same time… Your breath gives you the distance you need from the conversation in order to participate in it from real interest rather than from habitual conditioning."
Maintenance: Zoketsu Norman Fischer, former abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center and frequent speaker at the Brooklyn Zen Center, teaches a course called "Mindfulness in Legal Education." The group has a mission statement outlining examples of specific perspectives connected to meditation that foster productivity and inspiration.
One perspective includes wisdom and creativity. Meditating on awareness of the breath and letting thoughts come and go without grasping brings more self-honesty, less distortion, and a unity of mind and heart. As anyone looking for inspiration for a new project will attest, passion and logic in the right ratio rev up the creative engine, and meditation can be a means of ignition accessible anywhere.
Compassion is beneficial to productivity, as it inspires empathy, connectedness and teamwork. It is a meditative perspective that happens when we fail at balancing focus on our current tasks with mindfulness of their context. Once we realize that what we're doing at that moment is failing, the way everyone does sometimes, we can go back to a clear, inspired perspective of our priorities. Insight meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg calls it "exercising the letting-go muscle" in her talks. When we remember it's all about starting again fresh, motivation and inspiration usually follow.

Annie's Family
I've started posting records I've found for Annie's family on my research notes site. Brain has even more compelling evidence, so stay tuned to Megan's Roots World for further updates.
Brian, by the way, has access to some wonderful records at the NYC Department of Records. All of us who do research in NY are delighted to have a genealogist heading up the department. One of us! And quite an accomplished researcher, too.
Maybe soon Brian or Randy or another researcher will find Annie. Meanwhile, I'm still enjoying the hunt!
2 comments:
Hi Sharon,
I'm not hunting Annie right now - I'm in the rainy cemeteries of northern Massachusetts. I'll be back home by Labor Day.
I saw your Annie page through Megan's blog, and want to say congratulations. It is slow going, I know. This is a really hard problem.
Are you looking for obituaries for the Julia and for Philip?
Cheers -- Randy

Thanks, Randy.
Finding Annie's family was a lot of fun. I did a small bit of searching for the obits as well as cemetery records but did not find them. Maybe Brian did. I know there is more we have not heard about. And I look forward to finding out what happened to Annie.
Hard for us Southern Californians to understand why they allow rain in the summer back East, but have a great vacation anyway!

Tubing on Gunpowder River [Pictures]
On a hot summer day, Big Gunpowder Falls beckons and thousands answer the call: anglers, swimmers, kayakers and picnickers. But critics say businesses that let customers float down the river in inflatable tubes are creating "a superhighway of tubing," defiled by trash and noise that is ruining an area designated by the state as wild land and recognized by national fishing groups as a blue-ribbon trout stream.

text: If You Traded Planters March 9, 2013 02:47 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Dan Anderson Farm Journal Columnist Email Extra steps preseason will save you headaches later If you traded planters in the past year, take time this winter to ensure you have all your ducks in a row before it comes time to hook your new planter to your tractor. If you traded at a dealership, check with the mechanic who prepped the planter before you took it home. With luck you made it part of the deal for him to connect the planter to your tractor. Just be certain to mark every hose and wiring harness before you disconnect them once you get home. If you bought the planter at a farm sale or outright, then it's up to you to figure out where all the hoses and electrical wiring harnesses go. Start by seeing if your tractor has enough couplers and hydraulic capacity for the planter. If it's an "air" planter, you'll probably need some sort of case-drain coupler or motor-return coupler on the tractor. If hoses on the planter aren't marked to tell what each one operates and where to plug it, you'll have to trace each hose from the front of the hitch back to the component it controls to figure out how it should be coupled to the tractor. While you're matching hydraulic components, make sure your tractor's hydraulic pump can produce enough gallons per minute to satisfy oil-hungry hydraulic motors on modern planters. It's also a good idea to compare the electrical needs of the planter to the amp-output of the tractor's alternator. If the planter has one or more electrically powered air compressors for row shutoffs, pneumatic down-pressure systems, a seed monitoring system, electric clutches that shut off the seeding units, etc., it could blow fuses or trip circuit breakers one night when you turn on the headlights while the air conditioning is running full-tilt. The important point is to check all of these hydraulic and electrical connections now—not the day before you start planting. If you're hooking up a 16-row or larger planter for the first time, it will probably take at least half a day and a trip or two to the local dealership to figure out everything. You can e-mail Dan Anderson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Back to news

Jones, Avalanche beat Blues 1-0 in OTby Rick Sadowski
DENVER – David Jones has scored plenty of goals in his brief NHL career, perhaps none more significant than the one he delivered Wednesday night.
His goal with 16.4 seconds remaining in overtime gave the Colorado Avalanche a 1-0 victory against the St. Louis Blues at the Pepsi Center and ended a personal slump that had reached 10 games.
It's why he made sure to gain possession of the game-winning puck and drop it into his locker stall.
"I'm going to hold onto that for good luck and hopefully it'll keep things going for me," Jones said. "Hopefully this opens the floodgates a little bit for me. I've had some good games and not scored, so now I've just got to keep going. I didn't really think it was going to happen for me tonight. To get a chance like that, that's the fun of the sport."
Jones took a pass from Matt Hunwick and whipped the puck through a screen and past goalie Jaroslav Halak's glove for his second goal of the season. It was his only shot on goal.
"Hunwick wheeled behind our net and he's got good speed," Jones said. "In overtime it's tough when you're playing four on four and the forwards are backing in. He kind of cut to the side and kind of gave me a gap to shoot and it found its way in.
"Tonight was kind of strange because I get one shot on net and it ends up being the one that goes in. Other games I've had five or six shots and hadn't been able to put one in the back. Sometimes that's the way it goes, but I'm definitely happy because this was an important goal."
Goalie Semyon Varlamov made 33 saves for his second shutout of the season, his sixth as a member of the Avalanche, and the 10th of his NHL career.
"The guys helped me a lot today. They blocked a lot of shots," Varlamov said. "Every save is huge. We didn't score five or six goals like the last two games. I'm happy, for sure. It's a huge two points. Every point for us is a big deal."
The Avalanche swept a two-game homestand and have gone 3-1-1 in the past five games to climb back to .500 with a 7-7-1 record.
"That's a real good win for us against a real good hockey team," Avalanche coach Joe Sacco said. "I think our guys worked extremely hard for those two points."
The teams headed into the overtime in a scoreless tie mainly because of Varlamov, who has become accustomed to facing plenty of shots.
"He's been outstanding," Jones said. "It was so nice to be able to get the win for him. He's stood on his head the last few games. The scores haven't really shown how well he's played."
Varlamov made a career-high 50 saves – one short of the Avalanche record set by Patrick Roy in 1997 – in a 6-4 loss at Edmonton on Saturday, then stopped 33 shots Monday in Colorado's 6-5 win against Nashville.
"He was excellent again, especially early on I thought when they had some more chances than we did," Sacco said. "He kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win. He's been real solid. Every aspect of his game looks real sharp. That's a good sign for our club."
Jones' ability to regain his scoring touch would be another positive sign. He's scored 20 or more goals in each of the past two seasons.
"When you're a scorer like Jonesy who can chip in offensively, once you get one, hopefully that confidence starts to build up again," Sacco said. "He's a streaky scorer and hopefully they'll start to come in bunches for him. He shot the puck; he didn't pass up on the opportunity. I think they'll start to come for him now."
The Blues hardly looked like a team that played Tuesday night in St. Louis, where they dropped a 2-1 decision to San Jose, and were playing their third game in four nights and their fifth (fourth on the road) in a stretch of eight days.
St. Louis outshot the Avalanche in every period but the overtime and enjoyed a 33-20 advantage in shots for the game.
"I can't really say we feel good," said forward Chris Stewart, who had three shots on goal. "I thought we controlled most of the game. I thought we deserved a little better fate, but that's what happens when you let a team like that hang around."
Halak played for the first time since he suffered a groin injury in a Feb. 1 game against Detroit. He wasn't tested often but made a tough save against Matt Duchene at the 12-minute mark of the third period and he stopped Paul Stastny on a 2-on-1 rush with 1:40 left in overtime.
The defeat was just the third in nine road games for the Blues, who have lost seven consecutive games at the Pepsi Center.
"We had all kinds of chances, didn't finish around the net," coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We left the game out there and then made a mistake on the backcheck [in overtime]. That was the end of the game."
Avalanche right wing Milan Hejduk suffered a torso injury early in the second period and didn't return.

I need to install aptosid to hard drive on a computer that has no optical drives, and my only alternative is to install the ISO with a USB stick.
Can this be done and how?

Kind of old thread
First thing I would try, is to re-download the iso.
It "could" have been just a bad download
If it happens again with the new download, we need to see some specs
How old is the USB stick ?
Have you tried booting an older version or another distro from the stick itself ?
debian sid | apt-get into it

Ok, we can rule out the usb stick with the aptosid ISO. It booted to fully functional desktop on another computer.
I will attempt to copy the last 6 or 7 lines of text from computer I want to install on & maybe it will provide some kind of clue(s).

The fact that the ohci_hcd appears at 33 seconds, a little after the script has given up after it's 30 second delay suggests the usb is simply very slow to come to life on this machine. You could try first simply waiting a while (say 30 seconds) at the boot screen before hitting enter to start it trying to boot. You can also try adding "debug=fll-premount" to the boot command line and then waiting there for the roughly 30 seconds when it stops and puts you in the initramfs shell (like when it is failing, but you won't see the "Waiting for up to 30s" message first for example), or you could wait until you see the ohci_hcd message there. Once you have waited at the shell after the debug=fll-premount you can simply enter "exit" to have it return to continue to try and boot.
Assuming either of these work it will let you at least carry on and install normally and hopefully that should be an end to your problems.
If they don't work then you are stuck with trying to netboot, or using another OS to prepare a boot from the hd perhaps with fromiso (or removing the hard disk to attach it to another computer).
And another idea that just occurred to me, try the different usb ports you have available, it just may be that internal usb hubs or something are causing the long delay and some other port might behave better.

Or now I think of it, if you can put a copy of the iso on the internal drive (somewhere which won't get in the way when you want to install, or use toram if you have enough ram so it frees up the hard drive) then you can boot from the usb stick still and add a fromiso cheatcode to the command line to get it to use the iso on the internal disk.

Ok, I'm having a new problem similar . .
I want to install aptosid amd64 kde-lite from DVD on a new rig and it WILL NOT let me.
Installation begins normally from DVD and I enter "aptosid amd64 (3.9-0.slh.4-aptosid-amd64)". Text sequence begins & stops completely at:
BusyBox v1.20.2 (Debian 1:1.20.0-
built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
. . . and stays there.
aptosid amd64 kde-lite DVD is good; it worked perfectly on another computer.
New rig is good; it installed XP w/no problems.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

The previous advice would apply again (as would trying from usb stick).
Or paste (take a photo if you have to) of the rest of the screen so we can see the messages before the Busybox v1.20.2 line which might have a clue why it's failing to find/recognise the dvd.
Also enter "cat /proc/cmdline" at the (initramfs) prompt and report what it says in reply.

(just for the record, as the topic itself is solved based on last post)
As the link above links to the "all options" page, here the direct link:
http://manual.aptosid.com/en/hd-ins-opt ... tm#raw-usb
cat'ing on the device should really be enough. Its what I do for a long time now and just did a few hours ago. Works flawless. No need for any special tools you would have to install from somewhere.
If its a UEFI system you want to install on, follow this advice instead:

I'm sorry for the times I cried, the promises broken and your endless lies.
I'm sorry for the way things were, and that you were to jaded to choose me over her.
I'm sorry for the way you left and the endless nights you sleep with regret.
I'm sorry for the hollow space that rests beside me in your place.
I'm sorry you weren't here to be shown the deepest love you would have ever known.
I'm sorry for the heart you broke, shattered from words that you spoke.
I'm sorry you weren't the man I deserve, perhaps that is your biggest lesson learned.
I'm sorry it took this long to grasp, the only place for you is locked in my past.
If apologies are what you were waiting to hear, you can move along now despite they arent sincere.

Is a Microbicide the Game-Changer Gay Men Need?
June 23, 2014
As other articles in this issue of Achieve point out, the old adage of "Use a Condom Every Time" is not working. Rates of HIV infection are rising among men who have sex with men (MSM), not just in the U.S., but around the world, and especially among young MSM of color and transgender women. As Jim Eigo writes in this issue, Truvada, when taken by HIV-negative people as PrEP, can significantly lower the risk of infection. But it has two serious drawbacks: to be fully effective it should be taken every day (whether or not you're planning to have sex), and it's hugely expensive (over $1,000 a month retail).
I recall a conversation with a fellow activist years ago, as we were bemoaning the persistent rate of new infections in gay men. "It feels like we'll never get a handle on this thing until we get either a vaccine or a lube that will prevent HIV," I said. The former remains, unfortunately, years away (last April, yet another vaccine study, HVTN 505, was shut down early due to a lack of effectiveness), but the latter may be closer than we think.
The Problem
Among 24,787 MSM who completed an online survey in the U.S. in 2010, 36% reported having receptive anal intercourse the last time they had sex, but only 45% said they had used a condom. Of course, it's not only gay men who have anal sex. In a 2009 U.S. survey, nearly 13% of women said they had had anal sex in the past year. That number rose to 20% in women aged 20 to 39, but only 11% said they had used condoms. Clearly, we need new tools to fight HIV, since anal sex carries the highest risk of HIV transmission among all sexual practices.
The Hope
A new study, MTN 017, is looking at a rectal microbicide (RM) that contains tenofovir, one of the drugs in Truvada. Rectal microbicides are gels that are being studied to see whether they can lower the risk of HIV when used in the rectum. This Phase II study opened in October and will enroll 186 HIV-negative MSM and transgender women in Peru, South Africa, Thailand, and the U.S., including Puerto Rico. While the purpose of the study is not to prove whether the gel is effective at preventing HIV transmission, it will hopefully answer some very important questions about the gel's safety and acceptability.
First, do people like the gel? The first microbicide study to show some effectiveness was CAPRISA 004, which found that a tenofovir gel, when used by women vaginally, reduced the risk of HIV infection by 39%. Unfortunately, when that gel was used rectally in MTN 006, it caused gastrointestinal problems. So the gel has been reformulated to include less glycerin, and an earlier study, MTN-007, found that it was safe and acceptable to both men and women who used it daily for one week. MTN-017 is a larger study that will further explore the gel's safety and whether people like it, and compare it to Truvada pills.
People in the study will cycle through three regimens, each lasting eight weeks: the gel used daily, the gel used before and after anal sex, and daily use of Truvada pills. This will allow researchers not only to collect data about the gel's safety and acceptability in the rectum, but also to compare it to the use of Truvada pills, which were approved for HIV prevention by the FDA in 2012. Throughout the study, researchers will do blood tests to see if people are actually using the gel and Truvada. Similar tests done during trials of Truvada pills found that most people in the trials were not taking the drug as prescribed. But those tests were not done until the trial had ended.
"By monitoring product use as the study is underway, we will have a much better sense of whether participants are adhering to the assigned study regimens," said Ian McGowan, M.D., Ph.D., co-principal investigator of the MTN. "The unique design of our study, which does not include a placebo, allows us to address any concerns or issues with adherence in a more real-time fashion, rather than waiting until after the study has concluded." The trial should go a long way toward answering the question of whether more people will use a microbicide as opposed to a daily pill.
As we wait for the results of MTN-017 and later follow-up studies that will look at the gel's ability to lower the risk of HIV infection, we can examine the two other roadblocks to PrEP and condoms: Will gay men use it, and can they afford it?
Many studies have already looked at the first question. A 2008 survey in Peru found that of 532 MSM and transgender women who had receptive anal intercourse, 29% would prefer a pill, while 57% would prefer a microbicide (14% had no preference). Clearly, an effective RM would be popular.
Of course, we don't know exactly how the first RM will be used. Ideally, it would be similar to the lube that most people who practice anal sex already use. But to ensure accurate dosing, MTN-017 will require people to use an applicator similar to the one pictured below. A 2010 study compared the reaction of 92 men and 25 women to three different methods: an applicator, a suppository, and an enema. The authors concluded:
Among females, the applicator was the preferred product across all ages ... whereas both the applicator and the suppository were preferred to the enema among older females. ... Younger males preferred the applicator to the enema and suppository, while older males did not appear to prefer any product over another. These findings suggest that the marketing of RM products and the counseling of adherence to their use for HIV prevention may need to be age and gender specific.
But would people use an applicator when they usually use their fingers to apply lube? In Biomedical Advances in HIV Prevention -- Social and Behavioral Perspectives, Marc-André LeBlanc and Jim Pickett write:
Using an applicator to deliver an RM may be a "deal breaker." It is one thing to use an applicator in a trial; it is quite another to ask men and women ... to use an applicator in their real lives. After all, people who use lube most commonly use their fingers to apply it, utilizing the "dab will do ya method." And if more lube is needed, "another dab will do ya." ... If we are to have products that real people are going to use in their real lives, scientists and impacted communities must continue to engage with one another. Tapping community wisdom before, during, and after trials is not a luxury, or something nice to do -- it is absolutely essential.
That may depend on how effective it is at preventing HIV. Even though MTN-006 found that the vaginal form of a tenofovir gel had too many side effects when used in the rectum, it also found that people in the study reported a high willingness to use the product in the future if there was some indication of actual protection. So even though younger gay men have not seen the devastation of AIDS that was evident in the '80s and '90s, the desire to avoid infection may still be strong enough to lead them to use a less-than-100% effective RM.

Are you getting weekly or even daily messages warning that you're about to run out of mailbox space? Mailbox Cleanup is a one-stop-clean-up tool you can use to trim the size of your mailbox.
In Outlook, choose File> Cleanup Tools > Mailbox Cleanup.
Do any of the following:
View the total size of your mailbox and of individual folders within it.
Find items older than a certain date or size.
Archive items by using AutoArchive.
View the size of your Deleted Items folder and empty your Deleted Items folder.
View the size of your Conflicts folder and delete this folder.
Best practices to keep your mailbox lean
If your email is stored on an email server such as Exchange, when your mailbox reaches its upper limit your administrator might start limiting functionality. For example, at 90 MB you might get a warning, at 100 MB you might be unable to send email, and at 110 MB you might be unable to receive email.
Here are some ways to keep your mailbox size under control:
Archive older items – Move old items you want to keep to an archive. You can create a separate Outlook Data File (.pst) that you can open from Outlook any time you need it. By default, Outlook automatically archives items at a regular interval. You can also archive items manually whenever you want. That way, you can decide which items to archive, when to archive them, and where to store them.
Note: If you don't see the Archive command, your organization may have turned off the feature.
Empty the Deleted Items folder – Empty the Deleted Items folder frequently to make sure you aren't keeping messages you don't need.
Empty the Junk Email folder – Periodically empty the Junk Email folder to save your inbox space for messages you actually want.
Store attachments outside your mailbox – As attachments accumulate over time, they can take up a lot of space. For attachments you want to keep, consider saving them to a team site, to OneDrive, or to folders on your computer.
You can use the Mailbox Cleanup tool, which allows you to view the size of your mailbox and individual folders. You can also archive older items to an archive Personal Folders file (.pst) and empty your Deleted Items folder.
On the Tools menu, click Mailbox Cleanup.
Do any of the following:
To view the total size of your mailbox and of individual folders within it, click View Mailbox Size.
To locate older items, select Find items older than n days, enter a number between 1 and 999, and then click Find.
To locate large items, select Find items larger than n kilobytes, enter a number between 1 and 9999, and then click Find.
To move older items in your mailbox to an archive Personal Folders file (.pst), click AutoArchive. The default folder for archive .pst files is c:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\ Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
To view the size of your Deleted Items folder, click View Deleted Items Size.
To empty your Deleted Items folder, click Empty.
To view the size of your Conflicts folder, click View Conflicts Size.
To delete the contents of your Conflicts folder, click Delete.
Reduce the size of a Personal Folders file (.pst)
If you delete items from a Personal Folders file (.pst), the file is automatically compacted in the background when you're not using your computer and Outlook is running. If you want to immediately reduce the size of the file, you can force a compaction. The procedure to compact the data file might take several minutes.
On the File menu, click Data File Management.
Click the data file that you want to compact, and then click Settings.
Click Compact Now.
Note: You do not have to exit Outlook after you compact a .pst file.
Reduce the size of the Offline Folder file (.ost)
Reducing the size of the Offline Folder file (.ost) file may improve performance if you have deleted a large quantity of items. This procedure does not delete any items that are saved on the server.
Delete any items that you do not want to keep, and then empty the Deleted Items folder.
On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
The Account Settings command is missing.
The Account Settings command is on the Tools menu in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. If you are using an earlier version of Outlook, the following instructions do not apply. Use the Help that is included with that product. If the title bar of the program that you are using displays Microsoft Outlook Express, you are using a program that is not the same as Outlook. See Help in Outlook Express for assistance.
In the list, select Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Change.
Click More Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Offline Folder File Settings.
Click Compact Now.
To delete an item from both the online and offline folders, select the item, and then press DELETE.
If you are using an Exchange account in Cached Exchange Mode, only the selected folder will be cleared from the local .ost file. The items on the server will be downloaded again to the .ost file on the next synchronization, if the folder is selected under Folder Options in Send/Receive Settings for the Exchange Server e-mail account.
When you use Cached Exchange Mode, public folders favorites are not synchronized by default. If you choose to synchronize public folders, the size of your Offline Folder file (.ost) may increase significantly.

Apparently, not everyone is a fan of Beyonce's latest masterpiece.
Target has released a statement revealing that they will not be carrying the singer's new self-titled album on their shelves. Why would they do such a thing?! Well, because Beyonce opted to release her mega-hit album exclusively online first.
"At Target we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, and when a new album is available digitally before it is available physically, it impacts demand and sales projections," Target spokesperson Erica Julkowski tells Billboard.

She continued, "While there are many aspects that contribute to our approach and we have appreciated partnering with Beyonce in the past, we are primarily focused on offering CDs that will be available in a physical format at the same time as all other formats. At this time, Target will not be carrying Beyonce's new self-titled album 'Beyonce.'"
Queen B proved just how much star power she had by secretly releasing the 14-track and 17-video visual album exclusively on iTunes at approximately midnight on Friday, and completely went against the way music is usually released. Jay Z's wife squashed traditional new music procedures, going without any hype, social media presence or promotions for the new body of work.
Regardless, her latest creation is a huge success. B sold an astounding 80,000 copies in the first three hours alone and has already reached the 600,000 mark.
LOOK: Bey's "Grown Woman" music video leaked
As to why she opted to go a different route, Beyonce explained that she wanted to change the way music is received. In a clip on her Facebook page, released after the album dropped, she told fans, "I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it."
"I am bored with that. I feel like I'm able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give that message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready from me to my fans."
She added, "I wanted everyone to see the whole picture and see how personal everything is for me. I would make my best art and just put it out."

I am the queen of this house and I know it!
Not many of us have been left untouched by these hard economic times we are muddling through right now. But even harder hit are thousands of pets who are pouring into shelters at unprecedented rates.
I've seen an increase in the number of phone calls and donation requests I've been getting from animal rescue groups, and it is the same story each time: shelters are overflowing with dogs, cats and other pets given up by people who've lost their jobs, had their homes foreclosed, or have been forced to move to find employment.
I am too dignified to take apart a stuffed toy, but I just want to needle Opie.
For many of these animals, this will be the last stop. Dogs and cats who are in perfectly great health and would make the best of pets will be put down because there are not enough homes to take them in. Imagine getting the death sentence for no fault of your own.
There are many great rescue groups that are out there doing the most wonderful work to help save animals, and there has never been a better time to stand up and offer your support. The Best Friends Animal Society and the ASPCA are two such groups that rehome abandoned animals and deserve every penny you can give them.
But even if you can't afford to give money, there are other things you can do.
Just because I don't fit into a cat bed is no reason I won't do it.
The way I have always done it is to foster shelter dogs. As a foster volunteer, I take home a rescue dog and take care of him/her until I can find them a permanent home. I also interview prospective adopters, answer their questions, and show the dog.
Animal shelters in any city or town are always, always looking for foster volunteers. I've never had a more rewarding volunteer job, and it's not even a job– it's fun. Fostering an animal is a great way to save not just the life of the animal you take home and help place, but you also free up valuable shelter space for another animal. The reason why shelters end up putting animals down is because they do not have room to accommodate all the animals that pour in each day.
One of the reasons I hear most often from people who say they can never foster a dog is because they say they'll get too attached to the animal and will find it hard to give him/her up to another person.
I'll get back to you later — I just need some alone time right now.
Sure, both Desi and I get attached to each of our fosters, whether they stay with us for a month, six months or a year. We hate the moment when we have to say goodbye. We miss them, reminisce about each one of them, put up pictures of them on our walls, and often wonder how they are doing.
But never, looking back, do we ever regret that we fostered them, or that they aren't with us anymore. In fact, we only feel real happiness knowing that we found them loving homes where they are happy and cared for. Then it's time to get our next foster, and we're back in love again.
Can't foster? There are other ways to help. I clip coupons from the newspaper and the Internet for dog food, cat food and treats that I can buy cheap or even get for free, and I donate them to the animal shelter which distributes them to pet-parents who can't afford to buy food for their companion animals but don't want to give them up. It helps keep animals in loving homes, and reduces the number of dogs and cats in shelters.
Shelters can also use donations of used goods. Blankets and towels are always welcome. Over the years, my co-workers and neighbors who've lost pets would bring their old toys and any cans of leftover food to me so I could take it to the shelter.
You know I have you wrapped around my paw!
Even just spreading the word about the importance of adopting from shelters can help. It amazes me how many people have misconceptions about shelter animals– I've had more than one co-worker or neighbor looking to get a companion animal ask me about concerns whether the animal will be "bad" in some way because it's from a shelter. It never hurts to correct such wrong impressions, and to let people know that shelter animals are usually always vetted for behavioral problems as well as health issues, so it's actually safer to adopt from a shelter than it is to buy a cat or a dog from a pet store or a breeder.
Whew. As you can see, I interspersed my post with pictures of my own kids, each one special, each one gorgeous, and each one a rescue. They've never given me a dull moment, or a moment of regret. I think they make a great advertisement for shelter animals, don't you?

Shaggier needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
A logo suitable for a web header, Twitter icon, and as an app icon. It needs to be tasteful, modern, and eye-catching. The blog is at http://blog.shagpoints.com and the Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/shagpoints.
Shag Points
Shag Points is the modern version of a system that's as old as time: Guys do nice things in order to get some action. Flowers? 15 points. Dinner? 50 points. Cook Dinner? 100 points. The problem with the system is two-fold: Guys don't always know what to do and points get "lost". Our web and mobile app aims to fix all that. After all, the system works, but it could work better.
- I prefer a square-ish shape. Rounded corners are fine, but the aspect ratio should be 1:1.
- The funnier, the better.
- The cleverer, the better.
- No tag line necessary, the only text on it is Shag Points
- Logo in EPS or Illustrator (compatible with CS2) format
- Blue. Man I'm tired of blue.
- Anything explicit. It's okay to be *suggestive*, but nothing that couldn't be on the screen at work in full view.

Now for sale by new owners, here's late architect Claude Megson's own house, perched above tree-clad Dingle Dell in Auckland's St Heliers, with views in the other direction out to Rangitoto and the harbour. A simple looking exterior concealing an awful lot of living within.
Megson took the small, boxy, brick house (right) designed by the architect of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Richard Toy, and transformed it into something magical, something giving the feel of having discovered a particularly poignant tree-filled glade somehow touched by the gods.
Writing about the transformation a few years ago, architectural critic John Dickson said of it, "It is impossible without the process of Megson's imagination to connect the cluster of small, confined rooms of the house as it was to the expansive, multi-levelled, vertical-fissured, spatial-phantasm that it has become."
A new structure was built over the original brick base, with balconies - described by [former Megson student] Andrew [Barrie] as "cages of mesh and steel tube" - projecting from the house out into the treetops… Andrew Barrie says Claude was a world-class architect. "His houses brought a sculptural quality but they were also incredibly tied to the way people live. Usually, it's one or the other and to do both was unusual ... there were few like him."
For Megson a house was a lot more than just a machine for living—the family house for example house should support and enhance family life, celebrating and artistically expressing all its many aspects.
And English architectural critic Professor Geoffrey Broadbent, writing after a 1992 tour of Claude's Auckland houses had this to say:
"This," I said to myself, "is work of a very high international standard indeed." ...One is constantly struck by the surprise around the corner, the bright shaft of light penetrating from above into the softer glow of the main living spaces -- especially in Megson' own house -- that give his work such very special qualities...Broadbent, for once, is exactly right.
There is an essential "rightness" about Megson's spaces, for pleasant occupation by ordinary, normal human beings. Such things, says Dickson, have gone out of fashion with today's students. Well, so much the worse for the students [and their clients!]. Perhaps it hasn't occurred to them that if they design real spaces for human comfort and pleasure, then even those anguished souls overwhelmed by post-Heideggerian "problematics" about the nature of their existence might, given spaces like Megson's to contemplate that nature of their "Being," come to more positive conclusions! Because that's the point about Megson's spaces; they are life-enhancing.
Claude built the house for his own family as a classic three-zoned family house: with parents' realm and childrens' realm' linked together through the house's public realm.
