Power management
zh-CN:Power Management Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end The purpose of this page is to provide general overview of power management in Arch Linux. As Arch Linux uses systemd as system manager, this article focuses on it.
There are multiple places where one can change power management settings:
There are also many power management tools:
Power management with systemd
ACPI events
systemd handles some power-related ACPI events. They can be configured via the following options from
HandlePowerKey: specifies which action is invoked when the power key is pressed.
HandleSuspendKey: specifies which action is invoked when the suspend key is pressed.
HandleHibernateKey: specifies which action is invoked when the hibernate key is pressed.
HandleLidSwitch: specifies which action is invoked when the lid is closed.
The specified action can be one of
lock or
If these options are not configured, systemd will use its defaults:
HandleHibernateKey=hibernate, and
On systems which run no graphical setup or only a simple window manager like i3 or awesome, this may replace the acpid daemon which is usually used to react to these ACPI events.
- Run
systemctl restart systemd-logindfor your changes to take effect.
- systemd cannot handle AC and Battery ACPI events, so if you use Laptop Mode Tools or other similar tools acpid is still required.
In the current version of systemd, the
Handle* options will apply throughout the system unless they are "inhibited" (temporarily turned off) by a program, such as a power manager inside a desktop environment. If these inhibits are not taken, you can end up with a situation where systemd suspends your system, then when it wakes up the other power manager suspends it again.
Handle options to
ignore if you want your ACPI events to be handled by Xfce, acpid or other programs.
Suspend and hibernate
systemd provides commands for suspend to RAM, hibernate and a hybrid suspend using the kernel's native suspend/resume functionality. There are also mechanisms to add hooks to customize pre- and post-suspend actions.
systemctl suspend should work out of the box, for
systemctl hibernate to work on your system you need to follow the instructions at Suspend and Hibernate#Hibernation.
Sleep hooks
systemd does not use pm-utils to put the machine to sleep when using
systemctl suspend,
systemctl hibernate or
systemctl hybrid-sleep; pm-utils hooks, including any custom hooks, will not be run. However, systemd provides two similar mechanisms to run custom scripts on these events.
Suspend/resume service files
Service files can be hooked into suspend.target, hibernate.target and sleep.target to execute actions before or after suspend/hibernate. Separate files should be created for user actions and root/system actions. To activate the user service files run
systemctl enable suspend@user && systemctl enable resume@user. Examples:
[Unit] Description=User suspend actions Before=sleep.target [Service] User=%I Type=forking Environment=DISPLAY=:0 ExecStartPre= -/usr/bin/pkill -u %u unison ; /usr/local/bin/music.sh stop ; /usr/bin/mysql -e 'slave stop' ExecStart=/usr/bin/sflock [Install] WantedBy=sleep.target
[Unit] Description=User resume actions After=suspend.target [Service] User=%I Type=simple ExecStartPre=/usr/local/bin/ssh-connect.sh ExecStart=/usr/bin/mysql -e 'slave start' [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target
For root/system actions (activate with
systemctl enable root-suspend):
[Unit] Description=Local system resume actions After=suspend.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl restart mnt-media.automount [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target
[Unit] Description=Local system suspend actions Before=sleep.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=-/usr/bin/pkill sshfs [Install] WantedBy=sleep.target
A couple of handy hints about these service files (more in
man systemd.service):
- If
Type=OneShotthen you can use multiple
ExecStart=lines. Otherwise only one
ExecStartline is allowed. You can add more commands with either
ExecStartPreor by separating commands with a semicolon (see the first example above; note the spaces before and after the semicolon, as they are required).
- A command prefixed with
-will cause a non-zero exit status to be ignored and treated as a successful command.
- The best place to find errors when troubleshooting these service files is of course with journalctl.
Combined Suspend/resume service file
With the combined suspend/resume service file, a single hook does all the work for different phases (sleep/resume) and for different targets (suspend/hibernate/hybrid-sleep).
Example and explanation:
[Unit] Description=Wicd sleep hook Before=sleep.target StopWhenUnneeded=yes [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=-/usr/share/wicd/daemon/suspend.py ExecStop=-/usr/share/wicd/daemon/autoconnect.py [Install] WantedBy=sleep.target
RemainAfterExit=yes: After started, the service is considered active until it is explicitly stopped.
StopWhenUnneeded=yes: When active, the service will be stopped if no other active service requires it. In this specific example, it will be stopped after sleep.target is stopped.
- Because sleep.target is pulled in by suspend.target, hibernate.target and hybrid-sleep.target and sleep.target itself is a StopWhenUnneeded service, the hook is guaranteed to start/stop properly for different tasks.
Hooks in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep
systemd runs all executables in
/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/, passing two arguments to each of them:
- Argument 1: either
post, depending on whether the machine is going to sleep or waking up
- Argument 2:
hybrid-sleep, depending on which is being invoked
In contrast to pm-utils, systemd will run these scripts concurrently and not one after another.
The output of any custom script will be logged by systemd-suspend.service, systemd-hibernate.service or systemd-hybrid-sleep.service. You can see its output in systemd's journal:
# journalctl -b -u systemd-suspend
An example of a custom sleep script:
#!/bin/sh case $1/$2 in pre/*) echo "Going to $2..." ;; post/*) echo "Waking up from $2..." ;; esac
Do not forget to make your script executable:
# chmod a+x /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/example.sh
man 7 systemd.special and
man 8 systemd-sleep for more details.

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the turkey: Heat the oven to 500 degrees F.
Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature white oven heats, about 30 to 45 minutes. Discard the giblets and reserve neck. Rinse out the turkey's cavity and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the turkey all over with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil; season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Put the sage leaves under skin. Season the cavity with salt and pepper, squeeze 1/2 of the orange all over the bird and put the other half inside the cavity along with the garlic.
Arrange the turkey in a large roasting pan and roast until the skin is golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Put the neck, onions, and apples in a bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Reduce the oven the temperature to 350 degrees F and add the apples, onions and turkey neck to the roasting pan. Baste with pan drippings about every 45 minutes. Roast the turkey until the internal temperature of the inner thigh reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove from the oven to a cutting board and let rest uncovered, at least 30 minutes, while you prepare the gravy. Remove apples and the onions to a serving platter. Carve the turkey and arrange on the serving platter. Serve with the Simple Gravy.
No Recipe Recipe: Simple Gravy:
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When it foams, whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook until the flour loses its raw flavor and turns peanut color, about 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook until it becomes a light tan color.
Meanwhile, remove the turkey from roasting pan and set aside to rest. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings from roasting pan. Put the pan on the stovetop over medium heat. When pan juices are hot, add the sage leaves and fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the neck bone. Add a big splash of apple juice and scrape up the browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
Strain this liquid into the thickened chicken broth mixture and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until thick and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with your turkey and sides.

BecMennie necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 38 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Rebecca and I am an early childhood educator and mother of two. I have recently started an undertaking to write advice books about solving common toddler problems. My web page and first ebook are under construction and cover the topic of toilet/potty training.
I hope to branch out in the future to cover other toddler issues such as sleep and routines, and thus need my logo to reflect this not just the toilet training aspect.
The target audience is mostly first time or recently new parents but may also appeal to grandparents or even child carers.
The audience needs ideas, guidance and advice on how to best manage their toddler's behavior.
This advice is packaged into ebooks which are designed to give concise step by step advice and examples on how these steps can be implemented.
The first ebook will be based on toilet/potty training with the intention of releasing further ebooks on other toddler related topics.
The logo should be a vector graphic, with no text.
we plan to place the logo on our web page and on the cover of our ebooks to maintain our brand. It will also be placed on printable star charts & parent record behavior charts, so will be viewed by other potential new customers.
Our philosophy is that both parents are responsible for the development of their children so the logo should reflect this eg. no mother with child logos.

Heritage Vineyard
Ohio has a long proud wine history dating back as far as 1804 when Nicholas Longworth moved to Ohio from New Jersey and began producing sparkling Catawba wine grown from grapes he planted in the Ohio River Valley. From the 1830s to the 1850s, his wines from Cincinnati were distributed from California to Europe. At that time, Longworth had a near monopoly on the wine industry.
Drive down a country road in northeastern Ohio crowded on both sides by grapes during harvest season (October) and the aroma of ripe fruit on the vine is intoxicating! Wondering what types of grapes you're seeing or smelling? With soil and drainage very similar to those of great European wine-producing regions, vintners are able to grow a wide variety of grapes. Five notable varieties making waves in Ohio are Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Vidal Blanc.
Today, Ohio boasts nearly 200 wineries of all shapes, sizes and varieties across the state. Regardless of size, Ohio wineries embrace a casual, unpretentious atmosphere. Stop in at one of these family-owned and operated wineries and the vintners will be all too happy to help educate your palate if needed and steer you to a perfect wine to compliment your meal or special occasion. Most likely they will also offer grape juice for the kids along with plenty of room for running and playing.
Numerous events throughout the year ranging from tastings and concerts or barbeques and art classes add to the fun. Mark your calendar for Ohio Wine Month in June and the Vintage Ohio Wine Festival in August and plenty of events in between.

Vacation or Staycation—Are You Getting the Most for Your Money?
- Details
- Parent Category: Remar Sutton
- Published on Friday, 23 October 2015 23:57
- Hits: 1963
Summer is here and for many people that means it's vacation time. Even if your family economy is still as sluggish as the general economy, you don't have to forego summer fun. And even if you haven't made plans, it's not too late to get the most for your money. Here are more than 25 tips on how!
Saving when planning your trip
Whether you are flying or driving to your vacation destination, these tips can help you save money.
- Fares are typically cheaper on Tuesday and Wednesdays since they are not as popular for business travel. You can often find cheaper fares on Saturdays too.
- Get sales alerts, coupon codes, and special offers from an airline by following them on Twitter and Facebook or by signing up for their e-newsletters. Or sign up for fare alerts at airfarewatchdog.com.
- Check out fares on hundreds of travel sites at aggregators such as Kayak.com, BookingBuddy.com, Fly.com, and TripAdvisor.com. You may need to check Southwest Airlines separately.
- Almost all airlines charge baggage fees. The exception is Southwest (for the first 2 bags). One way to save on baggage fees is by sharing large bags. You'll want to keep the bag's weight under 50 pounds. Otherwise, you'll pay an overweight bag fee that's more than you saved. Check the travel benefits that your credit cards provide. With some credit cards, if you use the card to buy your airfare, the bag fee is waived for the first bag.
- Check out Airline Fees: The Ultimate Guide from SmarterTravel.com which lists every major airline fee from every domestic carrier.
- Book online. Many places offer a discount if you book directly through their website.
- Get special promotions and discounts by signing up for a hotel's e-newsletter. Some may also offer deals through Facebook or Twitter.
- Check for discounts offered to members of AAA, AARP, and many other groups.
- Check out thousands of last-minute deals and rates on Hotels.com. Getaroom.com has an unpublished-rates program that may offer additional discounts. You can check at the aggregator sites, too.
- Think outside the box. Many hostels accept adults; some are planned just for adults—check hostels.com.
- For vacation rentals check sites such as tripadvisor.com or homeaway.com. Some people like to use Craigslist. Entering "vacation rentals" and your target locale in your search engine often identifies local listings not available on other sites.
Car Rentals
- Before booking a car, see if your hotel offers shuttle service to and from the airport and nearby attractions.
- Check for deals on travel sites or aggregator sites. You may get an even better deal, if you call the specific location.
- Check for discounts offered to members of AAA, AARP, and many other groups.
- Before you book, check out your insurance coverage for rental cars in your automobile insurance policy and your credit card benefits. If you are covered, decline the rental agency's insurance.
- Ask plenty of questions before you book. What is the fee for an additional driver or an underage driver? Is there a fee if you turn the car in early? Is there a fee if you turn the car in late? Does it come with unlimited miles? If not, what is the mileage limitation?
- Fill up the gas tank before you return the car. Not only may the cost of the gas be much higher than a local gas station, there may be an additional fee too.
- Read the fine print. There may be other fees described in the fine print.
What about using online travel agencies such as Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity? These and other online travel agencies tend to be the first stop for many people when planning a trip. But they may not have the best deals nor do they have airfares for all airlines. While you can still get good deals on these sites, there are other sites that are worth your time to look at. Aggregator sites such as Kayak.com, BookingBuddy.com, Fly.com, and TripAdvisor.com, display fares and rates from online travel agencies and airline, hotel, rental car sites. You'll need to use more than one site, whether an online travel agency or aggregator, because there are a few airlines and other service providers which aren't on any of these sites.
What about discount travel sites such as Hotwire and Priceline.com? With these sites and similar you can typically get the cheapest airline tickets, hotel rooms, and car rentals, but you usually won't know who the supplier is until you pay. Most sites post lists of participating suppliers but may not be complete. If there is a possibility that your plans might change, buy somewhere else because all sales are final. To make sure you are getting a good deal, check rates on travel sites and aggregator sites before buying on a discount site.
The "free" vacation that's not free
Have you ever been tempted to sign up to win a free trip or vacation? Have you ever received a phone call, a postcard, a letter, or e-mail that announced you won a free trip? Even if the trip is real and not a scam, there are usually some fees or costs associated with it. Protect yourself by thoroughly checking it out. The FTC articles, Phone Scams and Travel Tips, provide tips to help you check out an offer.
Taking a road trip?
While on the road, use these tips to help you get better gas mileage.
- Before you leave, have your car serviced. Making sure that your car is properly tuned, the air filters are clean, the tires are properly inflated, and using the recommended grade of motor oil can increase your gas mileage by 10 percent or even more.
- Pack light. Every extra 100 pounds could reduce your vehicle's fuel economy by 1 to 2 percent.
- Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage tends to decrease rapidly at speeds over 60 mph. The greater your speed the more often you'll have to fill the tank.
- Use cruise control. It helps you maintain a constant speed which typically saves gas.
Find the cheapest gas by visiting the Gasoline Price Data page on the fueleconomy.gov site, gas price sites such as gasbuddy.com, or gas price smartphone apps.
Planning a Staycation?
If you are planning to stay home or near to home, there are many ways to enjoy your vacation and stay within your budget. All it takes is some planning and following these tips.
Think like a tourist. Check out your local convention and visitor's bureau for places to see, upcoming events, and other activities. Include other cities or towns in the region in your search too.
Look for deals. Many area museums and attractions may have specials or deals for Facebook fans or Twitter followers. They may also have discounts for local residents. Consider using a daily deal site, such as Groupon, LivingSocial or Scoutmob, for last minute discounts on attractions, restaurants, and lodging.
Stay put. There are many free (or almost free) things that you can do that are not part of your normal routine. How about an at-home movie marathon, playing board games, working on crafts, or experimenting in the kitchen.

What Is Bird Flu?
Avian flu is caused by a form of influenza virus that usually only infects birds and sometimes infects pigs. The few people who have become sick or died from the bird flu had direct contact with infected birds.
Like the flu that affects humans, there are lots of different strains (varieties) of bird flu. Some of those strains only cause mild symptoms in birds, such as reduced egg production. Other strains are more dangerous to birds – they spread quickly, cause more severe symptoms, and are almost always fatal to the birds.
The strain of the bird flu that has infected people in Asia recently is called H5N1. H5N1 is one of the strains that are dangerous to birds.
The people who became infected with the H5N1 strain of avian flu caught it directly from birds. H5N1 cannot be spread from person to person.
Why Are People So Worried About It?
Experts are concerned that the H5N1 strain of bird flu could mutate (change) into a new form that can spread from person to person. This has happened in past flu outbreaks and has caused what is known as a pandemic. A pandemic is a global outbreak of flu that causes serious illness in people and spreads quickly throughout populations.
What Is Being Done About It?
The good news is that we have more information and resources available today than we did when the last flu pandemic occurred more than 30 years ago. Health officials around the world are working together to try to make sure that bird flu doesn't spread – and to keep people safe if it does.
In an effort to keep bird flu from spreading, authorities in countries that have experienced outbreaks have destroyed more than 150 million birds.
Countries that have not had any outbreaks – including the United States – have stopped importing poultry from countries that have had avian flu outbreaks.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is closely monitoring the countries where there have been outbreaks to see if the virus spreads or mutates in a way that makes it more threatening to people. The organization has created an emergency plan to handle a pandemic, including stockpiling anti-viral medications to help people if they do become infected. Although anti-viral medicines don't cure the infection, they can make an infected person's symptoms less severe.
How Does Bird Flu Spread?
Infected birds shed flu virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces. Susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated excretions or surfaces that are contaminated with excretions. It is believed that most cases of bird flu infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces.
How Can You Protect Yourself?
The best way to protect yourself is by doing the same things you do to protect yourself from any contagious illness. No matter where you live and how healthy you are, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water many times a day, particularly after going to the bathroom and before preparing meals and eating.
Wash your hands frequently if you're around someone who is sick. Don't share that person's food or eating utensils. It's also a good idea to wash your hands if you've touched a surface that lots of people have been using, such as a door handle.
You can also protect yourself by taking proper food safety precautions. For example, never eat undercooked or uncooked poultry. Heat can destroy flu viruses, so cook poultry so that the temperature of the meat reaches at least 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). Do not eat uncooked or undercooked poultry or poultry products. And always wash any kitchen surfaces that have had uncooked meat on them, not just to protect against flu but also to protect against other things that can make you sick, such as salmonella bacteria. Separate raw meat from cooked or ready-to-eat foods. And don't use the same cutting boards, knives, or utensils that are used on uncooked meats on other foods.
If you're going to a country where there has been an outbreak of bird flu, avoid any contact with chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, turkeys, quail, or any wild birds. Stay away from live bird markets, local poultry farms, or any other settings where there might be infected poultry. Avoid touching surfaces that could have been contaminated by bird saliva, feces, or urine. But most importantly, talk with your doctor and visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) websites.
What Are the Symptoms of Bird Flu in Humans?
The symptoms of bird flu in people tend to be similar to the typical flu: fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches. But this flu can also lead to eye infections, pneumonia, and severe coughing and breathing problems.
How Is Bird Flu Treated?
Doctors hope that certain anti-viral medications will help keep the flu from spreading if it becomes contagious to humans. These medications can't cure bird flu, but they can make the symptoms less severe.
Flu viruses can become resistant to medications, so they may not always work. That's why experts constantly study and test medications to determine their effectiveness and develop better ones. Meanwhile, scientists are working on a vaccine to keep people from getting the bird flu.

It's Getting HOT(TER) in Here!
By Richard Cordova
February 15, 2013
In addition to my work on TheBody.com, I work full time at TPAN (Test Positive Aware Network). We are Chicago's oldest peer-led organization providing support to Chicago's most vulnerable populations. One of our newest programs, HOTTER (Healthy Outcomes Through Treatment, Empowerment and Recovery) provides mental health/substance abuse support for African American MSM ages 18 to 29, a population that has been, and continues to be disproportionately affected by HIV, mental health, and substance abuse issues.
In 2011 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that new HIV cases among young African-American MSM rose nearly 50% between 2006 and 2009, the sharpest increase of any group. HIV services provided by organizations that understand the unique needs of this population are critical to effectively decrease HIV transmission rates.
On Monday February 4, 2013, TPAN rolled out this brand new treatment program!!! HOTTER is a low-threshold, group-level treatment program for African-American men who have sex with men. The ideal candidate for the HOTTER program must be between ages 18-29 years old, use alcohol and/or other substances, as well as have possible mental health issues, pre-diagnosed or due to daily life stressors. Candidates may also be HIV positive or engage in high-risk sexual behavior.
A unique program like this will attract many individuals who are all at different levels of the recovery process. We may often think to ourselves, "I have a job, a car and great relationships, so what if I have a few drinks a day?" Failing to realize that substance abuse isn't just the absence of those things listed above, but it could be a broader spectrum of other psychological, social or emotional stressors. The HOTTER program will provide candidates/clients the opportunity to delve/identify their reasons for substance use/abuse and assist them in developing a conscious decision-making framework and effort to change their ways. More specifically, we are hoping to recruit those candidates who have yet to examine their drug or alcohol consumption.

Richard finds a positive attitude and a sense of humor to be two of his most powerful weapons in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Richard is the Director of Athletic Events at TPAN, and teaches Spinning classes at a local gym in Chicago. He also answers questions on TheBody.com's "Ask the Experts" forum on Safe Sex and HIV Prevention.
He enjoys talking about himself in the third person (on occasions like these) and finding new and exciting ways to be healthier physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He has been living with HIV since 2002. Diagnosed with 123 T-cells, he is technically by government standards not HIV positive, but in fact a person living with AIDS. To that he says HA!

Refract and disperse natural light; used for centuries by sailing ships to provide a safe source of natural sunlight to illuminate areas below deck
A Must-Have for the Nautical Enthusiast!
This deck prism is an exact reproduction! Created by Mystic Seaport from an original on the whaler "Charles W. Morgan", each Reproduction Deck Prism is hand-poured solid glass weighing over 2 pounds.The illuminated base is sold separately (shown but NOT included-see details below).
For centuries, sailing ships used Deck Prisms to provide a safe source of natural sunlight to illuminate areas below decks. Now you too can discover the charm and appeal of the past with our classically styled, nautical deck prism ( glass ). Before electricity, light below a vessel's deck was limited. Light below a vessel's deck was provided by candles, oil and kerosene lamps - all dangerous aboard a wooden ship. The deck prism was a clever solution. Laid flush into the deck, the glass prism refracted and dispersed a flood of natural light into the cabin below from a small deck opening without weakening the planks or becoming a fire hazard.
In normal usage, the prism hangs below the ceiling and disperses the light sideways; the top is flat and installed flush with the deck, becoming part of the deck. A plain flat glass would just form a single bright spot below-- not very useful general illumination-- hence the prismatic shape.
On colliers (coal ships), prisms were also used to spy on the cargo hold; light from a fire would be collected by the prism and be make visible on the deck¹ even in daylight. The names "deck light" and "dead light" or "deadlight" are sometimes used, though the latter seems to be uncommon as a reference to prisms, as more often refers to plain-glass panels.
This Reproduction Deck Prism makes a beautiful, historical, and intriguing conversation piece for any home.
** Also available is the Lighted Base (item # 3052450 - shown but NOT included) designed to complement our Deck Prism, and has a handsome black matte finish, a U.L. approved 6-foot switched electrical cord, and a 7-watt light bulb. Prism and base sold only as separate units.
Hexagonal base 4 1/2" W tapering to a point 4 1/4" high.
Fun Facts about Prisms: The earliest deck prisms with provenance are from the 1840s. Presumably they were used earlier, but how much earlier is unknown; the origin of the idea is lost, and glass is difficult to date. Very few original specimens remain. The Charles W. Morgan (1841), last surviving American wooden whaler and National Historic Landmark, had a single deck prism left. This ship has now been restored and is residing at Mystic Seaport.

As long as the world is coming to an end, there's a few things I need to get off my chest
What? You haven't heard what's coming down next month?
It starts with a polar reversal — the sun will rise in the west — spurring cataclysmic earthquakes, giant tsunami and volcanic eruptions.
Then things really start to go south: ferocious fires, melting nuclear reactors, crashing buildings, howling winds, collapsing bridges, choking dust...
It's all true! Not according to some crackpot preacher who wants you to send him money, or a bed sheet-garbed doomsday prophet shouting on street corners, or to some other crazed lunatic such as Karl Rove, but according to the Mayan calendar — and after all, who has more credibility than an ancient Mexican-Central American civilization that collapsed 3,000 years ago?
Acolytes regard Dec. 21, 2012 as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar devised by the Mayans. Evidently the Mayans didn't bother continuing the calendar past then because the world is going to end that day. What's the point?
I, for one, am mighty p.o.'d about this, mainly because now it's clear I wasted hours and hours and hours — not to mention all that wear-and-tear on my back — building two woodsheds and stocking them with more than 10 cords of wood.
I won't even have gone through half a cord by Dec. 21.
I also wasted weeks building deer-proof enclosures around my vegetable garden, blueberry bushes and a mini-vineyard I planned to plant next spring — except there won't be a next spring, let alone another harvest. Damn!
I could have been kicking back with a few brewskis and a barrel full of Doritos instead of digging post holes, lugging rocks and assembling metal fences.
Speaking of Doritos, I've spent decades turning up my nose at Big Macs, pepperoni pizzas and the entire KFC menu, choosing instead to gnaw on granola, raw veggies and tofu, in the mistaken belief that it would prolong my longevity. Had I known earlier on about the impending doom I might have indulged in a few more treats.
Imagine: I'll be checking out the same day as Rush Limbaugh! Arrrgh!
Here are a few other things, in no particular order, that I wish I hadn't done:
-- Run all those stupid marathons.
-- Climbed all those stupid mountains.
-- Kayaked all those stupid rivers.
-- Swum in all those stupid lakes.
-- Skiied all those stupid trails.
-- Sailed, skated, sledded, hang-glided and otherwise moved around in the stupid great outdoors without the use of an engine.
Instead, I could have been learning how to drive a snowmobile, ATV or Jet-Ski, or how to shoot a rifle — in other words, becoming a REAL outdoorsman.
Oh well, with only a month to go there's no point in changing horses in midstream — or more accurately, now that I've almost almost reached the other side.
I might as well go back to my dish of yogurt with a side order of bean sprouts. If I finish in time there may still enough light to split a few more logs.

Already reeling from a series of financial hits in the past year, Los Angeles Unified School District officials recently learned that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's new state budget plan could chop an additional $200 million from the district next year. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.
LAUSD was already facing an expected budget deficit of $470 million next year. But officials found tucked in the fine print of the governor's budget an additional, unexpected cut of $250 per student for 2010-11, potentially raising the district's deficit to $670 million.
The discovery comes just six weeks before the district faces a state deadline to begin handing out pink slips to teachers and administrators who could be laid off next year.

Billy is a small monster who has appeared in a number of sketches during the first few years of Sesame Street.
He was seen as early as season 2 in a sketch where he, Grover, and Herry Monster demonstrated how three monsters remained three no matter where they stood. Fran Brill performed him here from a script (for Episode 0186) where he's referred to as a "Baby Monster".
Though often unnamed, he was most prominent (and referred to by name) in a sketch where he was confused about the concept of "here" and "there", and asked Grover and Herry Monster if they could explain it to him. As played by Jim Henson, Billy had trouble understanding their demonstration since every time he moves to where they instruct him to go, he is both here and there in relation to his previous location. When he finally gets it, another monster (performed by Richard Hunt) arrives to collect him.
He also appeared in a Grover sketch, getting into a boat with Herry, Fenwick and several other Anything Muppet monsters, and as a background singer in the original "C Is For Cookie." In another sketch, he and two other monsters Pamela and Fenwick demonstrate big, bigger, and biggest. (EKA: Episode 0443)
After years of absence from the show, he appeared in the 1989 special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting during Ray Charles's performance of Bein' Green. A couple years later, he appeared in the song "Small People", sung by Ziggy Marley.

Jaymin goes to dog college
Jaymin, the ubiquitous and adorable yellow lab who has been at Mammoth resident Leigh Gaasch's side for more than a year, is leaving for college.
A "Puppy in Training," Jaymin was recalled to the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus in San Rafael to begin her formal guide work training.
Around town, Jaymin, who wore a green bib with a "Puppy in Training" vest, was socialized in many restaurants and retail establishments, community and sporting events by Gaasch and other members of the local puppy raising club, Eastern Sierra Guide Puppies.
At one recent town government event, Gaasch rose to speak from the podium and handed Jaymin over to the care of Police Chief Dan Watson, who was caught a bit unaware.
But unlike others who have been leashed, so to speak, by the chief, Jaymin was a gem. Watson just shrugged and waited for Gaasch to finish her comments, at which point Jaymin obediently returned and sat at her feet.
Guide Dogs for the Blind uses yellow and black Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and Lab/Golden crosses as guides.
The puppies are born at the Guide Dog kennels in San Rafael and placed in the homes of volunteer puppy raisers when they are eight to 10 weeks old.
Following the completion of the training, the dogs are matched with blind students enrolled at the school before venturing on as full-time Guide Dogs.
The local puppy-raising club is looking for individuals and families who are interested in raising a puppy, or becoming short-term puppysitters. For more information, please contact Betsy Thomsen at 760-920-8891.

Noora needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 400 designs submitted by 95 freelance designers.
We've been in service for the past 6 years, as a print-based directory, and we're looking to expand online. We are a local online directory for Jordan. It includes brands, outlets, restaurants and restaurant reviews, restaurant menu's, movie show times, local events. Phone numbers to key services.
I like the twitter, skype and retweet logos. I also like the Spreadable Logo. I want a fresh design, very powerful to be able to convey the message quickly. I've attached a first draft for the website we're currently working on, but the logo will drive the look and colors, so the website is there just to give you a general idea of what we're offering. I also included one logo design I was inclined to in terms of simplicity and color. Demographics are people from the age of 16-55 for both male and female that are well educated. Interests are movies, food and dining and very outgoing. Note: We don't want to emphasize on the e (on eguide), and we want it to look as one word. Most are liberal in nature. The slogan is: SHOPPING, BUSINESS, & LEISURE and/or We've got it all.

They really seem . . .
. . . keen for this thing to fail.
RIM has delayed the release of the next major upgrade to its BlackBerry PlayBook's operating system - and won't be including BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) at launch. "We expect to deliver the new BlackBerry PlayBook OS to customers in February 2012," blogged David J Smith, RIM's PlayBook chief yesterday. App developers were …
yea, I did. On the back of advertisements promising native email coming soon, and the ability to use android apps. With 2.0 scheduled for February, It will be almost a year since I bought it before these things are finally added.
I used to be a blackberry fan, but this coupled with the recent outages of their servers, has really made me consider switching to android...
Honestly, do RIM employ anyone in upper echelons that is capable of critically assessing a product spec & function before moving from alpha to prototype to production? Are they all deep-cover Android & Apple execs?
This 'device' will surely be held up as a shining example of how NOT to do a tablet. Honestly, if there was a process flow diagram I'd bet money that the RIM executives travelled down every 'No' branch on the page to arrive at the fail known as the Playbook. And that includes the naming process.
You see a project which could be saved if they bothered to change direction but they don't? A project with obvious flaws which have an obvious remedy? A project which is doomed to fail?
That's the Playbook. You could see the wheels coming off this thing when they lamely stated the thing couldn't even read email without tethering it to a phone.
The hardware and OS look fine, it's just the business functionality which sucks. RIM's one selling point is email on the go and business friendly solutions. They appear to be doing everything with this product (and screwups like the recent email blackout) to drive businesses to examine other solutions.
so, they seem to have no bounds to their ignorance... the Playbook is nothing more than a monitor for the BB it seems - why are people going to want a Playbook, which is wifi only or can be tethered to their Blackberry, and their view is you don't want a native email client in the Playbook as there's one in your other hand on the Blackberry.... therefore why bother with a Playbook??
at least Apple see their iPad as an independent device from the iPhone, so the owner can hold ONE device in their hand and have access to email and other apps on their iPad, without having to have it tethered to their phone in order to use email!
It aims for the other one, evidently.
This is the one thing that everyone has been loudly complaining about since the Playbook was first announced.
It evidently isn't their highest priority, which means they're trying to target a totally different audience than the one that's shown interest in the device.
Which seems daft.
It's worse than that I'm afraid...
The PlayBook (Yes, I have one) can't even reliably access Gmail's *webmail* GUI. Seriously. Clicky-clicky no worky-worky.
Even if you follow all the work-arounds and clear the Local Cache, etc., then take it outside and shake it, then sacrifice a pengiun, etc. etc. ...Once one get it working and can finally check your Gmail, then it immediately falls over and refuses to play nice with Gmail. It simply will not work with Gmail - crazy considering it's just a web interface...
I'm sure that they'll eventually fix it, but geesh...
The good news is that it is a wonderful gadget overall. My iPhone is getting to be too small for my eyes, so having a 7-inch tablet for $300 makes a very nice browsing / YouTube device. The fact that the PlayBook also includes Flash makes it vastly superior to Apple iDevices that refuse to play nice with Flash.
So lets see, no BMM or onboard mail in your first release, but you boldly keep at it. iPad2 sells by the bucket load and before Xmas arrives, Amazon launches the Fire (in the US only it seems) and you're 2-0 down by half time at the the of the year.
You make an attempt at pulling a goal back by releasing an update, but still omit BMM and score an own goal instead, then Apple show the iPad3 a month later, possibly introducing a smaller form factor as well or even making the iPad2 the cheaper version as they have with the iPhone.
Come April, you're relegated to either axing the playbook altogether, or cutting the price so any mug buys it. I'd be worried about letters of support from the board in the meantime as well!
for $270 Canadian and got free $30 sheild. For the price it is great. I am happy with the functionality, and I can wait for updates. Not a BB user so could care less about messenger. I got PC for email, so could care less about that as well. It is my first QNX device and I guess more of a toy than anything. But I would assume there are a lot of users who don't feel the same, as the 2.0 was supposed to be out shortly (according to crackberry forums) and I would say next year is not shortly.
...but the fact that RIM chose NOT to include e-mail & a calendar is so stupid, as to question whether or not BOTH RIM CEOs should still have their jobs.
What were they thinking? RIM made its business on messaging, and not to have this in a new product is sheer lunacy.
And then, to bring it out with one OS...then announce to the world that it will be getting a completely different OS in the future...SOMETIME...is asinine.
And don't get me started on how behind the curve RIM are with their handsets.
And now this? Good luck RIM, 'cause you're going to need it to stay in business after these bone-headed decisions...or the lack thereof.

You will see the latest french lace, bling sequined lace, in-vogue cord lace/ guipure and many other types of current lace fabrics in the Nigerian market. Included in the pictures are lace aso-ebi styles, iro and buba lace styles, ankara and lace combination, skirt and blouse lace styles, long and short gowns in lace fabric, and lots more. If you're anything like me, I think the best way to look at a fashion catologue is to see pictures of people wearing the styles, and that's why we curated 100 of the best Naija lace styles for you. See pictures of NaijaGlamWedding's LACE STYLES LOOKBOOK below.
About the Lace Fabric in Nigerian Fashion
Your grandmother's kitchen curtains might be made from lace, a delicate fabric with twists and loops forming patterns of holes. Lace is often used for fancy dresses, special doilies and tablecloths, and decorative accents.
MORE: How to Tie Ascot Gele (aka Icon Gele, aka Abeke Gele, aka Rose Gele)
Outside Nigeria and Africa, most people know lace as the fabric used to sew curtains and tablecloth. And, out there, some of the few times that you can find lace as trimmings on fancy dresses or lingerie. Otherwise, lace is popularly used to make wedding dresses and some occasion wears.
But that is not the case in Naija. Lace is one of the Nigerian woman's BFF. It's a fabric that is always in-vogue. There isn't no wedding or owambe party without gorgeous display of women in exotic lace fabrics in different designs and styles that will make you drool.
Lace Fabrics Are a (Nigerian) Bride's Best Friend
Lace is also a bestie for Nigerian brides-to-be (and grooms too). If you're preparing for your wedding, the above lace styles are great ideas for the second or third traditional wedding attire. Some of those lace gown styles pictures will make a great reception dress for your white wedding.
And, if you're preparing to attend a wedding (or any big occasion), now you have more than enough lace types, designs and styles to choose from. Style junkies know best how to transform and style from a catalogue – for example, if you see a yellow or white lace style in the pictures above, you may want to sew that same style with a blue or green lace. Same goes for the lace types – if you see a style in guipure lace, consider sewing it with a sequined lace. Lace fabrics tend to look exotic in any style, colour and design.

Now having tried the instant markup feature in iOS 11, I am wondering how this can work for Igigbook. At the moment the best I can do is take a screenshot (home and on switch) and then annotate, and save as photo. Is there a better way? - I don't seem to be able to "add to Igigbook" directly.
This would be a very powerful feature for me and others I suspect.
Instant markup - pencil annotations ?

Official Website of world music band AJOYO.
In the Yoruba language of West Africa, Ajoyo means "celebration of Joy". This is precisely what the music of AJOYO is about: make you feel good and dance to celebrate Joy. Rhythms from West and North Africa are put together in a surprising way with one and only goal: dance. Guitar lines and horn patterns over a rhythm section that is like a groove machine: a locked drum groove, solid bass lines and lots of space for the dancers to take off.

2012 Election Day Wrap-Up: Senate Races, Ballot Measures and Florida's Tied Again
Do you see that one part of the map there in the lower-right corner that's not like the rest of the map? If you were of political age in 2000, this mostly red-and-blue map looks frighteningly familiar, but fear not: even though the phrase "Florida is still too close to call" may send shudders down many people's spines, this time around it won't matter much.
As you've no doubt heard, President Barack Obama was reelected to a second term last night, winning 303 electoral votes to Mitt Romney's 206, with Florida's 29 still to be decided. (It may even go to a dreaded recount.) Most networks decided to declare Obama the projected winner around 11:15 on Tuesday night, shortly after concluding that Romney could not overcome his deficit in Ohio. Ohio's 18 electoral votes pushed Obama past 270, giving him the victory.
The popular vote is still being counted, but it looks as though Obama will take about 51 percent and Romney about 48 percent. It may be weeks before the exact vote is known, but we do know for certain that Obama will spend the next four years living in the White House (despite Florida's efforts).
In other election news from last night, Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives and Democrats won a continued majority in the Senate, though each house's exact numbers are still uncertain.
Democrats won highly contested Senate races in Massachusetts (Elizabeth Warren over Scott Brown), Missouri (Claire McCaskill over Todd Akin), Wisconsin (Tammy Baldwin over Tommy Thompson), Indiana (Joe Donnelly over Richard Mourdock), Connecticut (Chris Murphy over Linda McMahon) and Virginia (Tim Kaine over George Allen). Republicans won in Arizona (Jeff Flake over Richard Carmona) and Nevada (Dean Heller over Shelley Berkley). Races in Montana and North Dakota are still being tallied. A roundup of Senate results can be found here.
Numerous prominent ballot measures across the country were up for a vote last night as well. Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington State approved legalizing gay marriage, while Minnesota voters rejected a ban against it. Colorado and Washington voted to allow recreational usage of marijuana, but Oregon turned it down. A roundup of notable ballot-measure results can be found here.
Just after he was declared the winner, Barack Obama tweeted out the photo below, which in 22 minutes became the most popular tweet of all time:

Mars Image Takes Earth Photo Event to a New World
When some Mars explorers learned of plans for a worldwide photography event combining shots taken from thousands of different locations on May 2, 2010, they figured, "Why just one world?"
A New York Times photography blog, Lens, proposed the event and has received more than 12,000 images from around the world. Plus one from a rover on Mars.
The inspiration came from a suggestion by Emily Lakdawalla, science and technology coordinator for The Planetary Society in Pasadena, Calif.
Astronomer Jim Bell of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., lead scientist for the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, suggested that the rover team include commands for Opportunity to take multiple exposures late in the Martian afternoon on May 2. The resulting scene extends from the rover's own deck to ochre sky above the horizon more than 3 kilometers (2 miles) away. Dramatically shaded ripples of windblown sand reach toward the distant horizon.
The Opportunity image is highlighted at the Lens blog at: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/12/readers-19/. The entire gallery of "Moment in Time" images, the vast majority from Planet Earth, is online at: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/05/03/blogs/a-moment-in-time.html#/4bdd9784db799a656b0002e9.
The Lens blog proposed that photos be shot at 1500 Universal Time (UT, or Greenwich Mean Time) on May 2 from locations around the world. For logistical reasons, the rover instead took the pictures just before 1500 "local true solar time" on Mars, which was about 1115 UT on May 2 on Earth. Shortly afterwards, the rover transmitted the image data to NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter, which relayed them to Earth.
"It wasn't until about 1500 Universal Time on Earth that we could actually see the images and combine them into a mosaic," Bell said. "So we shot the mosaic on Mars at around 1500 local Mars time and received and processed the image on Earth around 1500 Universal Time. In those respects, we hope that our entry is consistent with the spirit of the rules, making this a truly interplanetary event."
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., manages the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

The first season of Exo-Force sets came with light bricks, a clear brick featuring a tiny battery, an LED, and a simple switch. You can attach a small length of what is basically low-grade fiber-optic cable to it to redirect the light to another location, and the result can actually make transparent bricks or other such pieces glow.
My question is, has anyone found a good BrikWarsian use for these things? Besides the obvious Doomsday Weapon glow, I mean.

The lamp seems to be floating, that is just absurd
You wake up in the world, what is being called world between life and death. It is up to the people themselves to fight for survival. But this world isn't empty, it is magical world and it is owned by someone who is being called death. Apparently he isn't god of this world and can only manipulate everything. So you escape from him but at the same time you go through your dark past, so you would understand, why and how did he end up there.

Peter McGahey announced as new head coach of women's soccer
Women's soccer team has found a new head coach in Peter McGahey to step into the role vacated in November by Neil Stafford who left for the same position at Cincinnati.
On Wednesday, Director of Athletics Dave Heeke has announced McGahey had been hired as the new head coach of the program.
"We have a championship coach to lead our championship program," Heeke told CMU Athletics. "We are proud to welcome Peter and his family to the Mount Pleasant and CMU communities. He will be a great asset to our department and community and, with a proven track record, is in a great position to keep our program moving forward in all areas."
McGahey, the 2012 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Coach of the Year, comes to CMU after being the head coach of the Minnesota State women's soccer program for the last five seasons.
In his career with Minnesota State, McGahey led his team to four appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament and leaves the program with a 74-21-13 record while he was at the helm.
Last season his squad finished with a program-best 17-1-5 record, going 14-0-1 to capture its first NSIC regular season championship and become the first team to finish unbeaten in NSIC play since 2008.
The team also earned its first-ever Central Regional Championship last season, advancing further in the NCAA Tournament than any other team in program history.
McGahey's defenses have ranked in the top 25 nationally in goals-against average in four-of-five seasons with the Mavericks.
Prior to his time at Minnesota State, McGahey, was an assistant coach for South Dakota State in 2007 and was an assistant coach at Central Oklahoma during the 2004 season, with the Bronchos claiming a Lone Star Conference regular season title.
McGahey, a Colorado native, played four seasons for the University of Denver from 1992-96, where he received his bachelor's degree in Communications. In 2005, he earned his master's in Physical Education at Ball State is now pursuing his Doctorate from Minnesota State in Educational Leadership with an interest on experiential learning, self-efficacy and coaching efficacy.
A press conference to introduce McGahey as new head coach will be held in the media room of the CMU Events Center Thursday afternoon at 1:30.

Find Mississippi departments of social services, DSS, DPSS, and human services. Departments of social services provide information on food stamps, public assistance, welfare, housing, healthcare, emergency assistance, and child services.
Social Services is a state, county, or local government agency responsible for providing a wide range of health and human services and programs. The range and types of programs may vary significantly from one jurisdiction to the next, but Social Services tends to emphasize safety net programs, the provision of basic necessities, and the protection of children, elderly, and dependent or vulnerable adults.
It is common for Social Services Departments to administer assistance programs, including those that are funded by federal resources. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food assistance, while Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provides general assistance for eligible low-income households. Many states, counties, and local governments operate additional benefits programs that are geared toward helping low income households pay for basic necessities. Social Services Departments employ caseworkers to conduct intake, determine eligibility, approve benefits, and ensure compliance with these and other programs.
Social Services Departments may also administer federal health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, as well as state health programs that provide coverage to low-income uninsured or underinsured groups that are not eligible for federal health coverage. Health programs for otherwise uninsured children and women are common.
At the county and local level, Social Services Departments often work with community human service providers to ensure the needs of individuals and families are met. Referral services may cover preventive health care, housing, substance abuse and addiction services, energy assistance, mental health services, and supportive services for people with disabilities. Local providers of basic necessities such as food pantries, temporary shelters, and child care are usually accessible through a county or local Social Services Department.
State Social Services Departments typically administer social and human service programs by contract with county, local government, or community providers. In many states, the Social Services Department is also the agency responsible for coordinating and regulating the foster home system and adoptions processes for their state. They may also investigate and support law enforcement in cases of abuse or neglect of children or the elderly.
