This is an important achievement to further assess the potential of monalizumabWe are committed to execute on our clinical plans and will provide data updates on many of our programs throughout the rest of the year and into 2020.”
- First patient dosed in a new expansion cohort of the ongoing Phase Ib/II study (IPH2201-203). The expansion cohort will evaluate the safety and efficacy of monalizumab, a first-in-class immune checkpoint inhibitor with a dual effect on both Natural Killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes, in combination with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor and not received prior systemic regimens in the R/M setting and who have not received prior treatment with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor (“IO-naïve”).
Various Preclinical Programs:
- AstraZeneca selected four molecules from Innate’s preclinical portfolio per the October 23, 2018 transaction terms. Selected molecules include the anti-MICA/B antibody drug conjugate[†] (IPH43) and the anti-Siglec 9 antibody program. Two other programs are undisclosed and include a multi-specific NKp46 NK cell engager.

The NKp46 NKCE technology targetsnd a tumor antigen on cancer cells. New preclinical data show that these NKp46 NKCEs are more potent in vitro and in vivo than clinical therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeting the same tumor antigen and have not displayed off-target effects. Additionally, we observed that co-engagement of NKp46 synergized with CD16 to potentiate both tumor cell lysis and NK cell activation.
- IPH5201 (anti-CD39) - new data showy, IPH5201, and ATP-inducing oxaliplatin had a synergistic effect that improved the control of tumor growth in a preclinical mouse model.

Should I consider muzzling him during the day?I hate the thought and it sounds potentially harmful. Any suggestions?
I know this is redundant to those of you who have been on here and have years of experience behind you I did a quick look in the forum on behaviors. Can anyone give me a list of alone training basics?
Sounds like more alone training is required, back to the basics. As you know, there are other tools to use as well to 'calm' your pup, like DAP diffusers, some use Melatonin...
You'd asked for basics for alone training.....
But also, if he's very food driven, hide pieces of kibble (or something more yummy if required) about the house for a scavenger hunt, leave a filled kong, or perhaps an everlasting treat ball or tug a jug, etc?
It sounds like this pup is just lonely & wants company. Do you keep the tv or radio on?
Remember greyhounds are born into large litters, are on puppy farms & racing farms in large groups, so these guys aren't used to being alone. Do you come home for lunch?Is there anyone you can trust to come over during the day to take him for a walk?
He is not destructive and there are no accidents so I am thankful for that. I don't make a big deal when I leave or come home, I read Greyhounds for Dummies prior to his arrival as well as Cesar Milan's books. I leave the TV on and even tried a country music channel as I read somewhere that that music is played for them at the farms?
Can you record him on a video camera for at least 10 minutes?


Call me old-fashioned but I still restrict my internet usage to proper computers. Getting a data plan on my smart phone (which I purchased only for the purpose of being able to type up long-winded text messages with zero effort) would be tantamount to paying twice for the internet. What a racket!


Wouldn’t we love to believe that it’s just college students who do not take care with what they like and who they retweet?
YouTube and Blog Comments – Often overlooked, your comments on blogs and videos says a lot about you. What videos are you watching?What types of blogs do you interact with?
Finally, please remember that NOTHING online is private. It doesn’t take much to learn about a person with a simple Google search and a bit of browsing through social sites. When the recruiter or admissions officer, the media or your colleagues take a tour of your online profile, what will they find?And what will the things you like and the people you associate with say about you?
Tell me in the comments if you are a person who is diligent about managing your reputation. Do you already take care with what you like and who you follow?What other things do you do to protect your brand?Share your advice in the comments!Thank you!

As I have previously reviewed two of Trader Joe’s frozen offerings, the mushroom ‘tarte’, and the Pizza Olympiad, when I saw this “Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle Flatbread” yesterday, I knew it was destined for my oven last night.

I just tried this for the first time last night & I have to say, I’m not crazy about the flavor of the arugula, it’s unpleasantly bitter & not moderated by the mildness of the cheese blend or the prosciutto, which I didn’t find all that salty. Rated 4.33 out of 5. I put this one in the same category! Traditional Tarte Flambée is made in a wood fired oven and the toppings are usually fromage blanc (similar to cream cheese or cream fraiche) onions and ham. They are delicious, but not cheap. The golden colors are appealing, the flavor is outstanding!”. Yes, it is delicious, but it also has added preservatives (nitrites) and caramel color added to the onions. Anyone have and suggestions on cooking them so the entire crust actually does get crispy?What draws us to this particular flat bread (but really it’s like pizza) is the taste.View Hope this helps!We love the way it blends with the fresh mushrooms and cheese. I love this tarte flambée. This is an odd product from Trader Joe’ver you enjoy this is all that matters. You might also let them thaw out on a pizza peel so they don’t go in the oven frozen.

Roughly 80 percent of the reported accidents were collisions involving more than one vehicle. Commercial truck accidents can result from a number of factors, including speeding, mechanical failure, and driver fatigue.
What happens after a commercial truck accident happens?
Crashes involving commercial trucks can be complex when it comes to determining who is legally culpable for the accidents themselves and the ensuing damages. This is true even though Louisiana is an “at fault” swho was responsible for an accident is responsible for covering damages.
In the case of the insurance providers that cover truck companies and their drivers, however, there may be serious attempts by the other side to challenge the damages being sought. Additionally, the minimum insurance coverage requirements in Louisiana may not be sufficient to cover the damages incurred. It may be necessary for the victims of truck accidents to challenge more than one insurance provider.
After a crash involving a commercial truck, monetary d lost wages, and as compensation for the other consequences of a commercial truck accident, including pain and suffering related to a physical injury.

S. One of the assailants tries to escape and takes a civilian hostage, but is stopped by Kircheis. Hoffmann then reveals to Kircheis that Keyserling's would-be assailant used to be in a supply unit in the Keyserling Fleet and that unit was headed by the then Rear Admiral Basel. He then speculates that Basel might have planned the attack on his old friend due to a dispute over the thyoxin trafficking operation. Kircheis, wishing to learn about Keyserling's side of the story, requests Hoffmann to give him some time to investigate privately. Kircheis then confronts Keyserling, who admits of covering Basel's involvement in thyoxin trafficking for the sake of Basel's wife, Johanna von Basel, who he loved greatgrace.

Ivan Polyakov, future jazz musician Max Polyakov’s father, introduced him to a certain bar by name the EOS bar. That bar was one of the best in town featuring some of the greatest Romanian jazz musicians of the time. These outings shaped Max Polyakov’s love for music but more specifically, it pushed him to have a great appreciation for jazz music, just like his father. Soon enough, he could remember off the top of his head many jazz pieces because of how often his father took him to the EOS bar.

Sounds like something really good to look forward to, doesn’t it? That’s a quote from the bio page of Patricia Barber’s website. I like it. Every time I hear her perform the sound is as beautifully demanding of attention as those words.
Maybe it’s in the mix of classical music studies and psychology at university or, even better, maybe it’s the mix of musical creative juices of family genes?
Nightclub, an album of standards was a musical tribute to her sometimes blues singing mother as the bio also proclaims. Maybe that quote could also start with, ‘…as set in motion by mom … a pure dark whisper straight up from the soul’?
Now there’s a soulful thought.

6 Home Remedies That Help Fight Fatigue All Day Long— and it is supposed to produce plenty of the hormone at night, and virtually none of it during the day, observes Norman E.

Amping up your
Your brain needs a burst of B vitamins to kick-start its morning production of the energizing brain chemical dopamine. No wonder British researchers say B vitamin shortfalls double your risk of feeling foggy, unfocused and sluggish! Taking a basic B-complex vitamin (like Life Extension BioActive Complete B-Complex) with a vitamin B–rich breakfast of eggs can quickly boost B stores, increasing morning energy and productivity by 58 percent. Also smart: Season your eggs with a half teaspoon of salt. Sodium in salt helps the body correct overnight dehydration to boost energy levels for up to four hours at a stretch.
Doze off after dinner?
Ozone levels are low in the morning and rise throughout the day, peaking around 6pm. This air pollutant can irritate the tissues lining your lungs, hindering oxygen uptake and triggering dinnertime fatigue. To keep your ozone-level exposure low, decorate rooms that you frequent most with plants such as Boston ferns or English ivy. NASA scientists say these natural air purifiers quickly mop up fatigue-triggering pollutants from the environment, so you don’t feel groggy too early.

title: "User-Defined Filter User-Defined Filter module to define a custom filterr.
# User-Defined Filter
*Creates a custom finite or infinite impulse response filter*
This article describes how to use the **User-Defined F a custom filter by with coefficients that you specify.
This module is particularly useful for applying a set of previously derived filter coefficients to your data.
## How to configure User-Defined Filter
1. Add the **User-Defined Filter** 2. In the **Properties** pane, choose a type of filter: FIR filter, or IIR filter.
3.  Provide the coefficients to apply in the filter. The requirements for the coefficients differ depending on whether you choose a FIR filter or an IIR filter.
    - For a FIR filter, you specify a vector of feed-forward coefficients. The length of the vector determines the filter's order. A FIR filter is effectively a moving average, so the configuration values apply a moving average to filter a data sequence.
    - For an IIR filter, you apply custom feed-forward and feed-backward coefficients. See the [Examples](#bkmk_Examples) section for some tips.
3.  Connect the filter to [Apply Filter](apply-filter.md), and connect a dataset.
4.  Run the experiment.
     The specified transformations are applied to the selected numeric columns only when you run the experiment using [Apply Filter](apply-filter.md).
##   Examples
For more examp: Demonstrates all filter types. The example uses an engineered waveform dataset to more easily illustrate the effects of the different filters.
###  FIR filter example: Exponential weighted moving average
For an exponentially weighted moving average, all coefficients are less than one and the sum of all coefficients equals one. Therefore, the variance of the weighted average will always be less than the input values.
For example, for a FIR filter to approximate an exponentially weighted moving average (WMA), you would supply a comma-separated list of coefficients for the value for the feed-forward parameter:
8 (Deslauriers-Dubuc interpolation)
This FIR filter approximates a triangularly weighted moving average (WMA). You define the coefficients by supplying a comma-separated series of values for the feed-forward parameters, such as these:
0.0625, 0.0625, 0.2500, 0.3750, 0.2500, 0.0625
The values used in this custom FIR filter represent a vector of feed-forward coefficients obtained by using the Deslauriers-D


33 acres in Siskiyou County, CA, that sits about 6,000 ft elevation, approximately 15 miles NE of Mount Shasta. Picadilly Ridge runs through here, along with other rivers, however, nothing on the land itself. The property sits on top of a ridge with large mature trees all around but there is plenty of flat land to build, camp, and park. The views up here are epic and bordering the area is the National Forest, the Haight Mountains, and Alder Creek Meadows. As you can see in the scanned map in the photo album below, there is a description and scanned actual photos of the land in the picture album link.
The land comes with deeded access to 4 local lakes: Duck Lake, Lake of the Woods, Indian Lake, and Lake Lure. A local amenity is a stocked lake with rainbow trout and of course, peaks all over to conquer. You can build, camp or park an RV. There is no power or electricity out here because it is so remote and secluded. There is road access to the property off of a US Forest Service Road (USFS 42 N14).
This property does not have cell connection for a reason. It is someplace to get outdoors, hike, fish, snowshoe, 4 wheel, and enjoy nature! There are trails to bike and explore for days in this area. You will find yourself immersed in wildlife and mature trees everywhere. Personally, I think this is a wonderful place for camping or a small cabin to get away.

Sciatica is nerve pain that begins in the hip and deep in the buttocks and travels down the leg. The largest nerve that supplies the lower body is the sciatica nerve. It comes off the lower spinal cord (lumbar-sacral nerve roots) and dives behind an opening (obturator canal) in the pelvic bone before it branches off to supply the upper and lower legs and the feet.
The pain from sciatica comes from pressure and swelling that results in the nerve pressing against the bones of the pelvis or spinal column. Sciatica can caus and feet.
Muscles that get pinched such as the piriformis muscle and internal obturator muscle can lead to the symptoms of sciatica. This muscle near the hip can be injured or damaged which causes swelling that leads to pain.
TrRspecifically describes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in any body area or muscle as a result of their respective nerve roots being compressed or injured. This can include a Herniated Disc, Spinal Stenosis or other lower spinal condition. The number of nerve roots involved varies but can involve both sides of the body or just one side.
1. The first cause of sciatica is the result of a Herniated Disc. The intervertebral disc can become herniated as a result of being ruptured, bulging, or tornn that area of the body that the nerve supplies will experience symptoms such as pain or throbbing. Most disc ruptures occur in a person who is in their 30s or 40s when the disc contents are a jelly-like substance.
2. The second cause is Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) as a result of aging and excessive micromotion of the spine over time. Bone spurs contribute as well.
3. Isthmic Spondylolisthesis is a result of a small stress fracture that allows one disc to slip forward over another disc which can also pinch a nerve. As the spinal canal narrows as we age and arthritis sets in, sciatica can occur.
4.of the buttock. If that muscle gets irritated, it can cause sciatica even though it is not a true radiculopathy.
5. The last cause of sciatica is Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction which is not a true pinched nerve but can mimic the symptoms.

Back pain is the most common complaint with a herniated disc or pinched nerve. This pain can be deep, penetrating, sharp, or throbbing. The onset of pain can be instantaneous, or it may be experienced as a snapping sensation in the back that is a result of an accidental tear of part of the fibrous part of the disc. The pain may radiate to other parts of the lower body affecting mobility and range of motion. Walking is difficult, and people may be appearing to limp to reduce the pressure on the painful side.
Right: Another view of a herniated disc pinching a nerve.
The treatment for most people with a herniated disc is usually conservative with bed rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and cold packs alternating with warm packs. Avoiding aggravating movements and activities with a slow return to normal activities is the key to long-term recovery. Too much sitting is bad bal roots. Other medications include analgesics, muscle relaxants, or tranquilizers.
A qualified physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath can assist with decompression movements for the key area of your back, with exercises for strengthening core stability to support that area of your spine. Gentle spine traction (pulling apart) positions such as swimming can also greatly assist. Some specialty groups also offer computer and pulley assisted ‘Traction Table Therapy’ which can help manage the condition as well.
If a patient is not responding to conservative treatments mentioned above, then surgery may be required. Traditionally a spine surgeon might offer a microdiscectomy (a keyhole procedure performed through your back) to cut away the disc area which is compressing on the nerve. This is usually offered as a first surgery by spine surgeons.
Sometimes this type of discectomy surgery might only be a temporary solution to fix pain, because removing part of an unstable joint can cause greater instability, leading to more surgery in the future.
If conservative therapies fail and there is chance for permanent nerve damage, surgeons who are experienced in Cervical and Lumbar Disc Replacement using ‘new-generation’ implants such as the ESP or M6 Discs may recommend Artificial Disc Replacement right away, to restore healthy height and movement to their spine, giving the patient the best chance at a healthy lifestyle without concern for ongoing surgeries. Traditional spinal fusions using Robotic Navigation can also be offered as a ‘last line of defence’ for patients unsuitable for a motion-preserving surgery.


According to the Release Notes, a Wubi upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 fails and is still not recommended – “File not found”. Bug # 613288
If you have upgraded to 10.10 and cannot boot normally:
Boot the LiveCD, make mount points and mount your Windows partition. Then mount your wubi installation. Note you must change sda1 to your Windows partition designation.
sudo mkdir /mnt/windows /mnt/wubi
gksu gedit +80 /mnt/wubi/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Remove all the lines above the first “menuentry” line (Approximately line 85). Save the file and then reboot. Do not run update-grub before rebooting.
Good News on Documentation As of 2 July 2010 there is a new GNU Grub Manual. It is available on-line, as well as in HTML and PDF versions. It’s a step in making threads such as this unnecessary!
More Good News As of late July 2010 grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu7) will only display /, /boot, or /boot/grub partitions on which to install Grub 2. If running grub-install or dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc the user will no longer see every device and partition (including Windows). This should greatly reduce the chance of installing Grub 2 on a Windows system partition and making Windows unbootable. There will also be much less chance of installing Grub 2 to every existing partition.
Important Note to Wubi (Windows Ubuntu) Users: Grub Update results in “No Such Disk”: A late July 2010 Grub 2 update is causing a “no such disk” error for some users of WUBI, resulting in an unbootable system. If the system doesn’t display the original Windows menu, the most likely cause of the failure is that Grub 2 was installed in the MBR and/or on the Windows partition. To correct this, restore the Windows bootloader using this link:
Whether the failure is due to improper user selections or Grub 2’s failure to recognize a Wubi install, it has been reported in the following bug and users can review it for status updates and recovery options when they become available:
“Fix Symbol ‘grub-puts’ Not Found” Error Message: <URL>…ound-when.html
If you can get to a normal installation, run the grub-install command or use the “dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc” command to put Grub onto your current partition. If you have to use the Live CD, use chroot to run these commands (see chroot link in my signature line.
Introduction I’ve written this guide to present some basic information about Grub 2. It is meant for users who may be familiar with basic editing of the original Grub (Grub Legacy) menu.lst and wonder how it carries over to Grub 2. The actual version of Grub 2 used in Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala is 1.97~beta4; 1.98 is the Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx version. In keeping with Ubuntu’s “stable release” philosophy, 1.97~beta4 will remain the official version in 9.10/Karmic and will not be updated to 1.98. In this guide, any reference to Grub 2 will refer to the 10.04 Lucid Lynx 1.98 version, with major differences noted.
linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=UUID=444539ba-ab9e-4028-94f5-c1a86b5ec7c1 ro   quiet splash
initrd    /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-16-generic
echo    'Loading Linux 2.6.32-16-generic ...'
linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=UUID=444539ba-ab9e-4028-94f5-c1a86b5ec7c1 ro single
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved – (Grub 1.98) Enables the “grub-reboot” and “grub-set-default” commands.
The format is “sudo grub-set-default X, with X being the menuentry position (starting with 0 as the first entry) or the exact menu string. Examples: sudo grub-set-default 3 or sudo grub-set-default “Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-15-generic”
grub-reboot. This command sets the default boot entry for the next boot only. The format of the command is the same as for “grub-set-default” (see above).
Caution: Holding down the “SHIFT” key will not display the menu if “GRUB_TIMEOUT=” is set to “0” .
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [ Note: This setting only applies to computers with only a single operating system. ]
The hidden timeout option allows a screen to be displayed without the Grub 2 menu, awaiting input from the user for a given number of seconds. It is available to single-OS computers – if multiple OS’s are known to Grub 2, this option is bypassed.
If a background image is designated in 05_debian_theme it will be displayed rather than a blank screen during a hidden menu timeout.
For integers greater than 0:
The system will pause without displaying a menu for the designated number of seconds. If the user does not press the SHIFT key during the timeout the system will then boot the default OS/kernel.
With a value of 0:
Unless the user intervenes, the system will boot the default OS/kernel with only a slight delay. No menu will be displayed.
On computers on which Grub 2 recognizes multiple OS’s:
This entry is ignored.
The menu will be displayed for the value designated in GRUB_TIMEOUT.
The hidden menu timeout option is not available, as it is bypassed by a conditional in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober.
The system can still boot without displaying a menu by setting the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to 0, however a timeout delay with a blank screen is not available.
The keystatus check for SHIFT key usage is bypassed by the scripts. Holding down the SHIFT key during boot will not display the menu.
If the user of a multi-OS computer wishes to hide the menu while incorporating a blank screen timeout the scripts in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober can be modified. Please refer to Grub 2 Title Tweaks.
Update: A bug requires quotation symbols be added for this option to be enabled. Change true to “true” and uncomment the line to eliminate UUIDs for linux entries.
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=”true” * Enables/disables the os-prober check of other partitions for operating systems, including Windows, Linux, OSX and Hurd.
GRUB_INIT_TUNE=”<DIGITS>″
The format unless a file is named is: “tempo [pitch1 duration1] [pitch2 duration2] …”
Close Encounters/5 Tone: GRUB_INIT_TUNE=”<DIGITS>″
Fur Elise (note long): GRUB_INIT_TUNE=”<DIGITS>″
Online documentation is available by typing “info grub –index-search play” in a terminal.
The files in this folder are read during execution of “update-grub” or “update-grub” commands. The contents are imported into /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Any file created must be executable in order to be included in the grub.cfg file during the “update-grub” command.
40_custom: A template for adding custom menu entries which will be inserted into grub.cfg upon execution of the “update-grub” command. This and any other custom file must be made executable to allow importation into grub.cfg.
When “update-grub” or “update-grub” is executed, Grub 2 will search for linux kernels and other Operating Systems. What and where is looks is based on the files contained in /etc/grub.d folder.
The files in the /etc/grub.d folder will be read and the contents included in grub.cfg when the “update-grub” command is executed as root.
If the user wishes to get visual confirmation in the terminal that the 40_custom file contents are being added when “update-grub” is executed, the following line can be added to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file:
echo “Adding 40_custom menu entries.” >&2
Place this line immediately after the first line – “#!/bin/bash” – and before the “exec tail -n +3 $0” line.
Kernels removed via APT (Synaptic, “apt-get remove”, etc.) will automatically update grub.cfg and no user action is required. A great tool for removing kernels (and menu entries) is Ubuntu-Tweak, a safe and easy-to-use GUI app.
Type the kernel number in the search window at the upper right (for example – 2.6.28-11).
Select “Package Cleaner” on the left and “”Clean Kernel” from the right panel.
Once the file has been removed or edited, run “update-grub” to update grub.cfg.
Booting LiveCD and Other ISOs Grub 2 provides the capability to boot certain .iso images. These image files (ISO’s) include the Ubuntu LiveCDs, SystemrescueCD and the Parted Magic CD.
The following examples assume the ISO image is located on the user “drs305″‘s Desktop on sda1. The address of the file, named test.iso would be /home/drs305/Desktop/test.iso. Grub 2 uses the convention (hd0,1) to designate sda1. The user must change the path and filenames in the following examples to match the location of the ISO image on their system.
Open the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file for editing as root, or create another custom file in the same folder.
Create a menuentry. Leave the existing first 5 lines of the file alone. Any entries should be made below the pre-existing lines.
Make sure the partition, path and filename are correct for the image you will be using.
Ensure there are no spaces at the end of any lines.
Save the file, run “sudo update-grub”, and then check the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make sure the contents of the 40_custom file are included. The user will not see the custom file listed in the terminal during the running of the update-grub command.
The following are examples of an Ubuntu LiveCD, the SystemRescueCD, and the Parted Magic CD. In the examples, the ISO images are stored on user “drs305″‘s Desktop on sda1. These entries would be added to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file.
For the SystemRescue CD, replace “rescuecd with “rescue64” on 64-bit systems.
The “quiet” option has been omitted from the “linux” line in order for the user to see progress during boot. Even so, there may be periods where the boot appears to halt. Let it continue unless an error message is visible.
menuentry "  SystemRescue-ISO on /dev/sda1" {
Booting from the Rescue Mode Here are some things to keep in mind regarding the rescue mode.
Use the “set” command to review the current rescue mode settings.
Use “ls” to see the partitions. You must determine the Ubuntu partition.
Use “ls (hdX,Y)/boot” to inspect the partition you think is the Ubuntu partition. If you find the correct partition, it will show files and the grub folder. (Example: ls (hd0,5)/boot )
Use “set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub to set the correct path to the grub folder. This must be correct before you can use rescue commands or load the kernel.
You must load modules before you can use them, and the prefix path must be correct.
If an unknown command or file not found error message is generated, the path in the prefix is incorrect or the module is not loaded.
insmod normal help linux – Loads the normal, help, linuxmodules. If they load there is no terminal message. Additional modules may be loaded in the same manner.
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro – Load the linux kernel, substituting the correct designations for “X” and “Y” (example: sda1). The user will see a message showing the kernel has been loaded.
More information on the rescue mode is available in the “Command Line & Rescue Mode“ section of the Ubuntu Grub 2 community doc.
Bonus Section: BSD Menuentry – If you need to have an entry to boot into BSD/Windows from the Grub2 menu, here is the menuentry to put into a custom file:
Grub Rescue Image A bootable Grub 2 rescue image is available for both floppies and CDs. To obtain the images, install “grub-rescue-pc”. Once installed, three images are available in /usr/lib/grub-mkrescue. Use the I]grub-mkrescue [/I] command to create the rescue ISO. See the MAN page for more information. Note: A customized rescue ISO only uses the current systems Grub 2 /boot/grub files. No information from /etc/grub.d or /etc/default/grub is imported.
The ISO only boots to the grub prompt. It uses the Grub 2 files found on the ISO; if the problem is with the system’s Grub 2 files the rescue ISO should boot. However, the ISO contains no kernels and must be told where to find the correct kernel and initrd files on the system. The user must know the drive/partition on which the boot files are located and the non-Grub files must exist and be uncorrupted.
Selected Problems & Bugs meierfra has been busily building pages which detail how to solve many of the common problems users are experiencing with Grub 2. His SourceForge web page should be one of the first stops for those seeking answers to Grub 2 issues.
Wubi (Windows Ubuntu) Users – wubildr Grub2 updates in the spring of 2010 triggered a bug in the ntfs module causing Wubi boot failures. The solution to this boot problem was posted by Agostino Russo and is found in this Lucid Lynx LaunchPad Bug Report #477169, Post 210. The module causing the errors has been fixed and replacing the “wubildr” file in Windows permanently solves this problem. meierfra has kindly provided clear instructions on how to fix this problem at <URL>…lems:Wubi_9.10
“Fix symbol ‘grub_puts’ not found” Error. After Upgrading from Karmic to Lucid
BIOS and the Grub2 device map may no longer agree. See this post:
This error is the result of a failure of the GRUB 2 search function. There are various bugs associated with the search function. At the Grub2 menu, highlight the OS you want to boot. Press “e” to edit the menuentry. Delete the entire “search …” line, then CTRL-x to boot.
If the above does not solve the problem, hightlight the OS you want to boot, press “e” to enter the grub edit mode, and on the line beginning with “linux /” change the section “root=UUID…” to “root=/dev/sdXY …” with sdXY being the drive and partition on which the system is installed.
This error is the result of a GRUB 2 installation to /boot but a Master Boot Record ( MBR ) which still contains Grub legacy. This can happen if you don’t select your drive when running sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy. Shortly after starting this command the user will be asked to select the device (sda, sdb, etc). Highlight the drive and press the space bar to select it when presented with this screen. Failure to select a drive will result in an Error 15.

Turning the Tables Paul Oakenfold is not a celebrity-DJ hack. Or if he is, maybe that's not so bad.
Wednesday, Jul 21 2004
Hating British trance DJ Paul Oakenfold is like hating Wal-Mart -- it's not that much fun. Like the ubiquitous superstore, Oakenfold is officially the biggest and most successful at what he does, namely, playing clubs all over the world, selling mix CDs, and producing remixes for top-shelf pop artists. In fact, Guinness declared him just that, the "World's Most Successful DJ." Also like Wal-Mart, Oakenfold is high-profile and routinely faulted for questionable quality by critics. But Wal-Mart sells a pair of unworn bluejeans for $9. Who can hate that? Oakenfold has moved a million copies of a mix CD, something no other DJ has done. An Oakenfold mix is often the one lonely bit of electronic music in a hard-line, "techno's for sissies" rock consumer's collection. People who know jack shit about dance music know Oakenfold. There's power in that. Hating Oakenfold, then, is almost like wishing for the demise of electronic music itself. If Wal-Mart suddenly went Chapter 11, the GDP of the country would almost be cut in half -- or at least it seems that way. If Oakenfold called it quits, the dance industry would likewise shudder. In 2001, he signed an unknown Russian trance act called PPK to his Perfecto label, and the resulting single sold 300,000 copies and became one of the biggest club hits of the year. Oakenfold produces a trickledown effect that provides nourishment to scores of lesser-known artists: If he gives frequent rotation to a particular producer's track, other DJs will snatch it up, too. It's also fair to say that Oakenfold has been the leading ambassador of electronic music, bringing it to far-flung markets previously closed to it. Last year, he released a two-disc live mix recorded at the Great Wall of China called Great Wall. Although expat Westerners have been throwing underground raves on or around the Wall for years, Oakenfold's performance was the first sanctioned event by a professional DJ. The resulting product is an unremarkable sampling of the latest "hooj choons" that are causing speakers to quake in the world's megaclubs. Woven in with Björk's "Pagan Poetry" and Oakenfold's own pretty "Hypnotised" are a few of the DJ's remixes, most notably his take on Madonna's "Hollywood." And penetrating the elusive Asian market is not the farthest he's gone in disseminating his brand name. In the mid- and late '90s, Oakenfold was able to sneak his completely unsubtle, towering trance tunes into the belly of the beast itself: the rock arena circuit. He was the first DJ to play England's Glastonbury Festival, and he opened for the Rolling Stones and U2. Last year, he was granted the right to remix Elvis. It's almost gotten to the point where Oakenfold's not the biggest fish in the pond. He's the water. And yet, those both inside and outside club culture despise him with a rare gusto. A line of popular "Oakenfold Sucks" T-shirts made the rounds a few years ago, and when URB magazine, the bastion of supposedly authentic "future music," finally put him on its cover in 2000, the letters page in the next issue was bursting with subscription-canceling threats. Because it is so passé and implicit that serious fans of electronic music shit on Oakenfold, his detractors have to engage in gross hyperbole to make their point. "He sucks more than a Slurpee fiend sucking back a lollipop into a jet intake and then pulled out of a space shuttle airlock with a cargo of baby pacifiers," a writer with the rave culture Web site ishkur.com concluded. While it's hard to disagree with the fact that Oakenfold has given new life to this still mostly niche music, it's also widely believed that he's killed certain aspects of it, too. Part of this, of course, is the inevitable backlash that comes with being an artist in any genre who holds the brass ring. But there's more to it. Mark Bowen, 24, an amateur DJ and dance-music chat-room denizen, put it succinctly in an e-mail: "The problem with Oakie is he's become a jukebox. He just plays whatever the current taste is no matter how awful. A DJ should push the boundaries and educate an audience about what's out there." Oakenfold has been asked the question numerous times in interviews -- What about the underground? -- and he told Rolling Stone in 2001 that the perceptions of what he does are skewed. "Ninety percent of the music I play is not on vinyl, it's acetate." (Producers put out small runs of new tracks on acetate before other consumers can get the actual vinyl version.) "You can't get any more underground than that." His argument is slightly specious, since as a superstar DJ he gets the songs that are predestined for chart success early on acetate, which doesn't necessarily make them underground by virtue of the medium. But of course, the titles of the tracks, where they come from, and how underground they are doesn't matter at all to most of the kids lost in a trance at a club, the Great Wall, or wherever Oakenfold will take his music next. The unfortunate reality that those Wal-Mart jeans were made by Burmese preteens doesn't take away from how great a deal they represent. Oakenfold is the closest thing to a household name in dance music because he simply gives consumers what they want, and how deeply he digs to find it is ultimately immaterial to most.

Hold The Laughs: Comic Tim Heidecker's New Album, In Glendale, Is His Most Serious-Ish Work Yet


CWA outing
What a great afternoon! Got to see my mom’s work at the CWA exhibit and receive an award; followed by a delicious Me-and-my-moms dinner at an amazing little Italian place in San Rafael; followed by a great tourist-y drive through San Francisco. It’s not very often that we get both grandma’s out here, but I’d like more of these please!


biggest puzzles in comics, as his comics are often equal parts the most impressive and the most frustrating on the stands. That's the case with Batman #77, which begins with some of the best writing of King's run and ends with a gut-punch of a twist that has the potential to destroy the character's status quo if not reversed.
We all know some grim stuff is coming as Batman and Catwoman return to retake Gotham, so this break arc is a nice breather before this title heads into the last six issues of its run.
We know he's going to make a face-turn by the end of the arc and probably wind up back in oblivion just like Jor-El, but unlike Jor-El he's been taken so far that I don't know if I'll buy it. And still no word on or reaction to what happened to Alfred. But segments like Batman's face-off with Hush, or the brief and thrilling segment involving Kite-Man, show King's deliberate pacing at its best.
There's a strange backup with Harvey Bullock half-naked and singing a weird song while wearing Joker makeup, and I'm not sure what to make of it, but the art by both Romita Jr. and Gerads is top-notch, even if the story feels scattered.
But the problem with this narrative is that for all the hype over City of Bane, it doesn't feel like Bane is the ultimate arch-villain of this story. This showdown almost feels like a Mini-Boss, with Thomas Wayne lurking in the background.
T
I've had my issues with Tom King's Batman run for a few months now, but I'm happy to report that he does stick the landing in Batman #85 with a strong final issue that calls back to the run's best moments.
So, a fine start. It's nothing we haven't seen before in a Batman story but we haven't seen this type of story much lately, and it's well-executed..
Guillem March's art has improved a lot, although he still has elements of the cheesecake style he had on the Sirens " and fans of that series will be very glad to see the last page. Three issues in, I am fully invested in this mystery.
Under the surface, this Batman is more unwell than he has been in a long time, and I suspect that's going to come out in a bad way soon. But until then, we're being treated to one hell of an entertaining run.
This entire run has been great, but this issue builds the tension up to an almost unbearable level at times.
Joker War is getting all the hype, but Tynion is coming out of the gate on this title as strong as Snyder did.
The title hasn't missed a step, though, as we plunge right back into James Tynion IV's high-octane thriller.
As we rocket towards Joker War, James Tynion IV's run continues to build momentum and it becomes clear just how many hands Joker has everywhere in Gotham.
There''r's Endgame.
This is an explosive kickoff with a great cliffhanger. We'll see how the tie-ins do, but Tynion has event.
We're still in the opening act, but this storyline is exactly as intense and creepy as it should be.
This is what a Joker event should be, and we're only halfway to the big showdown.
It's a great setup for the final two issues of the story, and Selina's cliffhanger has a lot of promise as well. No Joker or Clownhunter this issue, but that's just whetting our appetite for the chaos to come.
The upcoming Batman #100 is an oversized conclusion, and it'll need it"there is a lot built up here for an explosive conclusion to one of the best Joker stories in years.
This story directly leads into the upcoming Punchline one-shot, and it's set up a fascinating new status quo for Batman and everyone around him.
After the sheer chaos of Joker War, it's time for a break"at least for one issue, because Ghost-Maker is lurking right around the corner to be the next breakout villain of Tynion's run. But this issue is much more about the long-term fallout of Joker War"and how it's going to change Batman's operation.
This era of Bruce's past hasn't been explored too much"the last major plot thread to come from that was David Cain as his deranged former mentor"so there's a lot of promise here. And like much of Tynion's run, it's sure to make a chaotic Gotham even more challenging for a very different Batman.
With some great cameos and one hell of a central fight, it's another strong issue in a near-flawless run so far.
With only one issue to go before a hiatus for Future State, this series is still one of DC's most consistently entertaining, but it needs to get its art situation sorted out before the next big arc.
Despite not having any developments as huge as the last few runs"yet"it actually feels like one of the most ambitious recent runs for the sheer number of significant new characters it's introduced.
It's no surprise that one of DC's best books before the relaunch remains so now.
This is very much a breather issue, but that's not a criticism at all. James Tynion's Gotham feels alive in a way the city rarely does, and that allows him to make issues like this"where we're mostly waiting for the chaos to break loose"as compelling as the big action set pieces.
's rThis story is really just the lead character fighting his way through a different boss level every issue before he gets to the woman of the hour, but it's written well enough that it's more than holding my interest.
Ghost-Maker's ascent up the tower continues to be highly entertaining, and I'm looking forward to him finally facing Madame Midas. It's superhero comics by way of Korean martial arts films.
Much of the cast is split around Gotham without too much to do this issue, but coming off the jam-packed Alpha issue, it's a good break that shows us just how much Gotham's fabric is collapsing in only a short time.
This issue, like the last, is mostly prelude before a coming massive showdown, and it's a testament to just how good Tynion's writing is that it hasn't lost a step.
This event has wavered between surprisingly character-driven stories like last month's installment"and no-holds-barred Gotham action like this one. It's a testament to Tynion's writing that both are equally compelling.
This story has been giving just about every member of Tynion's larger Bat-family the chance to shine, and the end of the issue escalates the threat to a new level. Scarecrow continues to be a terrifying presence in the background, but one who prefers to let others do his dirty work. And that makes this story feel very different from past Bat-events.
The cliffhanger might confuse some people"it ties in deeply to what's happening in Ram V's Catwoman run, and I


All signs point to this moment as the right time to join a union. Across the United States, workers are coming together to demand fair pay and fair treatment at their workplaces. Just this year, the national approval of labor unions reached its highest point since 1965. Americans’ approval of labor unions has also increased for all political affiliations over the past decade, an exciting discovery that highlights the growing universal appeal of across the US.
Justice for App Workers is proud to be part of this monumental shift and we are laying the groundwork for being the next American industry to unionize!
In a historic win imake their Starbucks location the Since then, 143 other Starbucks have unionized and workers at 120 other locations have petitioned for union elections.
Like app workers, Starbucks employees have struggled with low wages that force workers to take on multiple jobs or fall into debt. Now, we are demanding what we need to survive!
In April, 2022, ent a jolt through employers across the country when they voted to form the first union at Amazon in American history.
And winning is contagious! Now Amazon workers from Albany to North Carolina are taking on the richest company in the world and refusing to back down. We are so inspired by the grit and dedication of Amazon workers to change what is possible for themselves and their families.
Drivers and delivery workers have been historically neglected by the tech industry. With our growing coalition, Justice for App Workers is laying the foundation for our industry to be the next frontier to win unions!
Want to keep an eye on app worker power? Follow us to stay connected to Justice for App Workers and see everything we are doing to improve the lives of app workers everywhere!


From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the San Bernardino Boys & Girls Club, 1180 West 9th St., company representatives will be at tables, waiting to meet serious potential workers looking for local openings instead of having to dread that miserable daily commute to Los Angeles or Orange County.
Attendees are urged to dress the part and bring detailed, updated resumes to hand out to those firms that interest them.
Job Fair sponsors supporting the effort include, KOLA radio 99.9, The NAUA, 909models.com, Hispanic Connect, The Black Voice News, The Precinct Reporter, El Chicano and Dameron Communications.

It is distressing that this inaccuracy persists. Even though this particular page in Activities can only be seen by descendants of Charles Root Dana (or probably also non-descendants who are somehow related) that group includes a great many people. It probably won't be long until the photo finds its way onto Ancestry or Find-a-Grave or other genealogy websites and then there will be no containing it!


Swimmers don't understand training without it strength work.
The dominated is a regular exercise in your dry workout since it provides such an important global upper body work in swimming.
As we already know, the chin-up consists of raising the body by grasping a bar at a certain height with the hands.
In order for you to include this exercise in your training routines, you need to be prepared in terms of technique and strength requirements.
A movement similar to that of the chin-up is performed, only in the opposite direction, that is, in this exercise the bar is brought to our chest and in the chin-up it is our body that rises to the bar.
You can vary the grips as in the pull-up.
To be able to work unilaterally and thus observe if there are differences in our arms, we can perform one-hand pulls on a high pulley, either sitting or on the floor.
Another variant is to perform it standing up with an elastic band attached to the chin-up bar.
It consists of performing only the eccentric phase of the domina, the descent. To do this, use a support that helps you rise to the bar without much effort.
This exercise will allow you to gain strength in your grip and movement so that you can finally achieve a complete pull-up.
Using a rubber or elastic band will help you with your first pull-ups.
You must progress in the way of use (placing the feet is more advantageous than the knees) and in the resistance of the rubber, so that you will notice the progression.


Davin too bad, I was hoping to live vicariously through those who traveled before us. But in that case I suggest that they are ripe for crafting our own interesting back stories.

I've noticed that if the ring got deformed at some point, once forced on they can be tenacious.

Hi Davin Make sure your oil level is not too high.

"We have taken note of statements by the Australian ambassador in Moscow Paul Myler to the effect his country has stopped uranium supplies to Russia because of the loss of confidence in our country," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. "In fact, Myler has accused Russia of a possible abuse of WMD (weapons of mass destruction) non-proliferation liabilities."
"Let us be frank: such utterances reaffirm how far some statements heard from Australian establishment representatives are from the reality," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. "Russia has always been and still remains a firm supporter of observance of international regimenFor us, this is a matter of national security."
"When we concluded the agreements with Australia on the peaceful uses of nuclear power (in 2007 and 2011), we regarded them as a purely commercial project for enriching Australian raw material at Russian enterprises for its subsequent marketing," the Foreign Ministry said. "The sole consignment of Australian uranium arrived in Russia in October 2013. After enrichment it was re-exported to Britain."

Artist: Nicholas Edward Williams
In Their Words: “I’ve taken a keen interest in Elizabeth Cotten‘s famed ‘Cotten picking’ style starting back in 2016 with my mentor Joan Crane. I had no idea how to articulate what Elizabeth was doing and my first successful thumb-led syncopated bass lines — while adding the melody to ‘Freight Train’ with my forefingers — took nearly a year to wrap my mind around and get comfortable with. From there, Elizabeth laid the foundation for so many other fingerpicking styles that I’ve come to study, mostly thanks to Joan, who was an absolute whiz at Delta blues, country blues, and Piedmont blues on guitar.
“I love that Elizabeth actually wrote ‘Shake Sugaree’ with her grandchildren, asking each one to take the chorus home in their heads and figure out a verse before they went to bed. She had such a fascinating life story, and the music she put out was incredibly influential for American folk and blues guitarists in the 1960s when her albuwas released, thanks in large part to the Seeger family. She won a Grammy at 90, just a few years before passing away, and directly influenced John Prine, Dave Van Ronk, John Fahey and countless other pickers, yet today, she’s not as well-known or revered as she should be. I’ve felt drawn to share her songs and stories for some time. This is just the first time I’m adding it on a record.” — Nicholas Edward Williams

bids $1 over the highest bid, ie: $501 if the last person bid $500.
Question: Do you hate the $1 bids too, or is it just me? </s> We have been studying what Darjes calls primary philosophy, but we finally come to his ontology, when we see his definition of an entity (ens). In effect, by an entity Darjes means something that is not accident, that is, which can be in itself. What this being in itself means, according to Darjes, is at least that in the same place as one entity exists, no other entity can exist. Thus, impenetrability of an entity is an ontological characteristic for Darjes, while accidents might share the same place by occurring in same entity. An entity need not exist, but it can be a merely possible entity. If it does exist, Darjes calls it a substance.
Darjes notes that all substances can contain something which is a reason for something else being what it is. In other words, they are forces that can act on other things. Now, because this activity is an essential part of what substances are, they can also be divided according to their level of activity. The highest kind of substance is completely active and needs at most something to remove obstacles from its way to start acting – they are what Darjes calls an effective conatus. At the lowest rang of substances are completely passive substances, which require some efficient reason to make them act – these are what Darjes calls bare potentia. Between these two extremes fall cases where substances are in some sense passive and in some sense active – these substances Darjes calls either ineffective conatuses or potentias with conatus (it is difficult to say whether Darjes means these two to be separate groups, depending on whether the emphasis is on the active or the passive side of the substance or whether they are just two names for the same thing).
Darjes does not just distinguish between different kinds of forces or substances, but also between different kinds of actions these substances can make occur. The actions might happen within the substances or be intrinsic to it – these would be immanent actions. Then again, the actions might also be extrinsic to the substance – these would be transitive actions. Of course, Darjes also admits that some actions might be partially immanent and partially transitive.
Like all Wolffians, Darjes is a nominalist who insists that no universals can exist. Hence, all substances must be individuals. Although substances cannot then be divided into universals and individuals, Darjes does divide them into complete and incomplete substances, depending on whether a substance acts or not. He also notes that a substance can be variably or contingently complete, if it sometimes happens to act and sometimes not. Even if a substance would be contingently complete, it still might be a necessary existent, since there is no necessity that a necessary existent would always act.
Darjes does not remain on mere level of definitions, but tries to determine some general characteristics true of all substances, based mostly on the principle of sufficient reason. The most important conclusion is that all substances must persevere in their state of action or non-action, until some further reason makes them change their state. Thus, an action continues, until something comes to impede it.
Darjes also spends some time considering how to quantify forces. His idea is to measure forces through the actions they can make happen. For instance, if two passive substances have the same quantity of force is they are as quick in producing same actions, then they will produce same action in same time. Thus, by checking what the substances can achieve and how quickly they do it, one can compare the quantity of their forces with one another. </s> If you're in the market foron. Now is he tie to call.

 publicity, and visibility for your business as you can!
After all, did you know that nearly $3.19 TRILLION is spent on holiday shopping over the next few short weeks, and the average U.S. person spends $906 on Christmas gifts every year online and off – you need to act strategically if you want a piece of that retail pie! (Mmmm pie!)
Fun Fact: According to the Daily Mail, over 24 billion selfies were uploaded alone in 2016 and I’m sure the number has grown exponentially since then. In fact, almost 50% of adults take at least one selfie a day. Now that you know this, why not use this information to your (buzz & sales building) advantage this holiday season and beyond!
Invite customers to post a selfie of themselves using/wearing/eating/taking part in your product, service – even your website – and incentivize this “ask” by rewarding them with a promotional code of some kind when they do! Don’t forget to tell them to tag your business in it, so they can let their followers know what they are using, and if you have a special hashtag you’d like to incorporate include that as well.
Create Your Own Easily Shoppable (and Creatively Titled) Gift Guides:
Level Up: Create a Collaborative Gift Guide:
YES, your offerings at your business could just be the best holiday gifts ever, but we all know we’ve also had some doozies left under the tree from time to time. This buzz building idea invites you to host a Worst Gift Ever contest, which can be hosted on social media, via your blog, or if you’re feeling extra inspired, via a partnership with a local TV station or newspaper. Prizes can include gifts from your brand, which emphasizes how amazing your gift options are. Not only does this have potential to be shared widely – especially if you ask people to vote on the winner – but you can boost that visibility even more if you partner with your local media to help judge the contest or announce the winners on air!
Are you a brick & mortar location? Offer more than just shopping at your store or restaurant, and instead make your business part of your customer’s family traditions by offering additional holiday activities. These can range from the simple (holiday card or ornament making stations for kids, hot cocoa or cider and snacks, carolers hired from a local college) to the more elaborate (photos with Santa, ice sculpture demonstrations, sleigh rides). Move beyond this being a shopping excursion to a holiday experience, offer on-sight discounts and photo mementos, and you’re sure to become a customer favorite for years to come!
They Shop & You Donate, Support a Local (or National) Charity:
Just as you can collaborate with parallel brands who share a similar customer demographic to create cross-promotional gift guides remember that you can join forces with brands like these to promote each other on social media and in newsletters. Try to make this more conversational and less sales-focused, as you introduce your current readers and followers to a business you think they will enjoy getting to know. Tell the story of the brands you’re sharing with them, focus on the value they deliver, and of course, include a promotional shopping code (a gift from you to your community) should they choose to dos some shopping with them!. Do you need to find some other businesses to partner with? You’re in luck! There are literally hundreds of other companies of all sizes and niches in the Press for Success Facebook Community, just waiting to connect with you!
Give Shoppers a Post-Purchase Gift for Themselves AND Their Friends & Family:
12 Days of Discounts or Promotions:
Need an excuse to keep people coming back and shopping from you after the Black Friday sales season? Plan out a series of “12 Days of Discounts/Sales/Promotions” you can offer your customers that are creative, fun, and still give them plenty of time to purchase and send your gift before the holiday. Because each day’s offer will be fresh and new, this is also a strategic way to keep people tapped into your newsletter, blog, or social media – whatever platform you intend to deliver this juicy sales scoop! Be sure you incorporate a hashtag into this promotion to keep people organized and so that those who join later can track offers they may have missed!
Shine a spotlight on your business while providing a service to readers or viewers by asking yourself, “What tips and advice could I offer people during the holiday season?” Could your business talk about how to lower heating bills, “healthify” your holiday recipes, how to wrap gifts like a pro? How to pick out jewelry for a loved one, or travel with your jewelry without ruining it and getting it all tangled? Could you share wisdom on keeping holiday spending low? Perfect breakfast in bed recipes to surprise busy moms? These are all press-worthy ideas that though not directly about your business, will shine a huge spotlight on it when you share them on-air, online, or in print!
Help Me, Help You, Buy My Products! Offer Free Personal Shopping Help & Advice:
Whether you sell your goods and services in person or via an online shop, the people visiting it probably need your advice and input more than you realize when it comes to purchasing a gift for the special people on their list. Help them shop your store! This can be done in person, via an electronic chatbox, or via a quick quiz or survey they fill out that guides them to the perfect gift. Remember, the more you do the thinking for them, the more they can make a successful and well-received purchase from your brand which will surely lead to more. BE SURE the “how to get help” from you isn’t hidden. This could mean you provide a Holiday Hotline phone number or email or post signs in your store offering free customized shopping advice!
Give Customers a Little Extra, Personalized Touch:
Make Your Store Instagram Worthy:
Suggest Stocking Fillers, Secret Santa Gifts & Extra Add-Ons:
Remember that big ticket items aren’t the only things people are looking for when shopping. Don’t leave out reminders (on your website, in emails, plus on social media) of the lower priced items shoppers can add to their purchase for stocking fillers, Secret Santa buys, small hostess gifts and more! Not every customer will be thinking of these needs until it’s too late – or until you remind them you have them all ready for them!

are now millionaires, and go out in a hail of gunfire from the hit man who was trying to kill me because I was secretly a hit man trying to kill him. Alas, Facebook has taken the surprise out of reunions. I didn’t get to fake a career. I already knew what all the jocks were up to (sadly, none playing professional sports as promised). I knew that the nerds were as nice and sweet and successful as ever. The hit man never found me, probably because he found out on Facebook where I was and didn’t want to subject himself to a high school reunion.
Second, I <3 me some Facebook, too. Might even be addicted. However, I definitely agree that it is ruining Reunions. Didn't go to mine. Already electronically "caught up with" and FB stalk everyone. *sigh*

The liner notes are full of information about the pair. Dezi By the time they were 9 and 10, they were named "North West Champions" at a music competition. Their hometown modified that to "Champions of the North" and hence the name of this CD.
Champions of the North is a very short CD, clocking in at just over 30 minutes. There are only eight tracks. The first seven contain various jigs, reels and airs as you might expect on a CD of Irish instrumentals. Also, as is common with Irish music, each track is a combination of several shorter pieces. Track 8, "Acid Reel," is the only track where the duo puts a different spin on more traditional fare. This piece has a repetitive techno/dance beat with the Irish fiddle and flute taking a back seat. Actually, the seat is so far back that, in my opinion, the track shouldn't be on the CD at all. It ruins the flow of a good Irish music experience. "Acid Reel" isn't bad music, it simply doesn't belong here.
Dezi Donnelly and Mike McGoldrick's first recording is an album worth looking into, but I suggest you check out Toss the Feathers first. If you like that music, then you might be interested enough to take a listen to some of the growing pains of the band's younger selves.

This issue has been reported several times and we would appreciate if you could resolve it. Thank you.


Did you live it up today?What made you smile?
Today was a day to celebrate – but isn't every day?
Jeff's grandparents celebrated 71 years of marriage today. Isn't that amazing?I called them from the baseball field and we chatted for 20 minutes which is a very long time!
They grew up in a time where every minute on the phone cost a lot of money, so I appreciated every minute we shared together. They read my blog every day – Hi MamMam and PopPop!I asked them what their marriage success tips were and they said that they listened to each other and did what each other asked of each other (most of the time). They just choose to get along and to take care of one another. I think this is brilliant advice. PopPop reminded me that I've been married for quite awhile now and asked me what I thought made for a successful marriage and I told him that we were going on 18 years already, and that we really liked each other and were each other's best friend and that we really just liked being together. He said that he thought I then knew the secret too. And we laughed. This made my day. I loved hearing them tell stories and love how they look out for each other. I want to live my life that way too, forever. PopPop will be 94 and MamMam will be 90 very soon. I think they are very wise and had some good advice to share today. Way to live it up!
I wandered around the field collecting trash as I chatted on the phone, which made me feel good and it didn't take too much time. I probably picked up at least 50 pieces…isn't that crazy?
We got to enjoy some pampering and chattering and time together celebrating sweet her!I love time with friends and love birthdays for an excuse to get together, not that we really need one. My toes are thankful!
Debbie's birthday was today too!
Live it up. Love it Out. and Laugh Out Loud!
It's almost Friday – are you smiling yet?


Banged-up QB Steelman plans to start for Army vs. Stony Brook
Army senior quarterback Trent Steelman's career has been marked by his toughness.
Steelman has played through broken ribs, turf toe and shoulder injuries. Steelman's threshold for pain will once again be tested this week.
The four-year starter suffered an apparent rib injury in the fourth quarter and couldn't finish Army's 49-37 loss Saturday at Wake Forest.
Steelman was listed Monday as the starter on Army's depth chart for its home game Saturday against Stony Brook. He will be evaluated as the week progresses.
Bob Steelman said in a text message to the Times Herald-Record that his son told him, "all is good."
Steelman, who scored three times against Wake Forest, is 41 yards (2,270) and three touchdowns (33) shy of breaking 1988 graduate Tory Crawford's career records for quarterbacks. He has started 37 games in his career.

Pre-Columbian Gold Museum (Museum's Gift Shop)
What to buy here: Books - The fact that Costa Rica is home to 4 % of the world’s biodiversity makes it a stunning place to photograph. It’s no surprise that stacks of coffee table books grace the shelves of bookstores. Magical Trees by Juan José Sergio and Giancarlo Pucci (2nd Edition), a soft-covered book about the trees of Costa Rica with text in English and Spanish ($38). (One of the writers is Jaime Gambo from Costa Rica’s famous band Malpais.) Among the large selection of creative bilingual children’s books, there is a story and coloring book called Magical Trees ($7) that talks about five of Costa Rica’s native trees. You can also find coffee table books highlighting the guaria morada (orchid), which is Costa Rica’s national flower, and birds. Costa Rica is home to 860 recorded bird species. (That’s more than the recorded number in the U.S.A. and Canada combined!) Along the city’s bustling Avenida Central are Libreria Lehmann, Universal and Libreria Internacional, all of which sell a great variety of books about Costa Rica.
4) Pre-Columbian Gold Museum (Museum's Gift Shop)
Indigenous Art - Costa Rica has tremendous biodiversity as well as ethnodiversity. Each of the country’s eight indigenous groups creates unique arts and crafts, including hand-carved and painted masks, hand-woven textiles and straw goods, intricately carved gourds, hand-sewn clothing and jewelry. Outside of purchasing goods on a visit to an indigenous community or at an artisan fair, the best place in the capital to buy indigenous arts and crafts is Chíeton Morén. With the help of the La Dolorosa Catholic Church and the La Flor Group in Boruca, San José now has a museum and gallery dedicated to Costa Rica’s indigenous people. The space is designed to educate visitors and provide an opportunity for all indigenous groups to sell their arts and crafts without an intermediary. Prices range from $5 for a hand-woven change purse to $20 for a small ceramic vase to $40 for a hand-woven straw hat.
6) Galería Namu (must see)
Galería Namu is a Fair Trade Art Gallery, representing local and indigenous artists of Central America. The name, namu,the gallery's.
