Source Naturals AHCC Active Hexose Correlated Compound 500 mg without Bioperine 60 Capsules
Source Naturals AHCC increases natural killer cell activity. Source Naturals AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) is a proprietary compound produced by cultivation and enzymatic modification of several species of mushroom mycelia, including shiitake, grown in rice bran extract. Considered a superfood supplement in Japan, Source Naturals AHCC has been researched extensively for its immune-enhancement properties. According to human and animal research, Source Naturals AHCC may significantly increase Natural Killer (NK) Cell activity. Source Naturals AHCC may also increase macrophage activity, enhance cytokine production, and support the healthy functioning of the liver as well as act as an antioxidant.
Source Naturals AHCC: A Unique CompoundSource Naturals AHCC (active hexose correlated compound) is a rich source of polysaccharides (beta glucan 1,3 and activated hemicellulose) and glycoproteins, plus amino acids and minerals. It is produced by enzymatic modification of several mushrooms, including shiitake, and derived from organically cultivated mushroom mycelia (the rich pre-mushroom stage, a network of fibrous filaments plus the medium it lives on and uses for fuel). Its low molecular weight makes AHCC easier to absorb. AHCC has been well-researched in Japan, where hundreds of hospitals and clinics recommend it for immune maintenance, and its sales exceed $200 million dollars per year.
Source Naturals AHCC A Potent Immune System SupportThe immune system is an extraordinary biochemical network, which has evolved complex interactions with the plant world. Mushrooms have been valued for decades by progressive medical practitioners as immunopotentiators. Only recently, however, has science identified specific mushroom compounds that augment natural defenses. Now Source Naturals offers you two scientifically advanced mushroom supplements. AHCC® is a proprietary mushroom compound, thoroughly researched for its immune enhancement properties. AHCC® Plus combines this compound with three powerful cellulardefense nutrients—selenium, tocotrienols and gamma vitamin E. AHCC may significantly increase natural killer (NK) cell, macrophage and cytokine activity. It may also support healthy liver function, and act as an antioxidant. Some scientific evidence suggests consumption of selenium and antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive. Source Naturals offers you the science of AHCC as part of our commitment to offering you the latest emerging wellness strategies.
Source Natuals Scientific Nutrition: Cornerstone of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals AHCC and AHCC Plus feature the original proprietary compound that is attracting worldwide attention. Source Naturals® offers you AHCC iin a variety of potencies and forms, including powder, capsules and vegetarian capsules. With no adverse side effects reported in dozensof studies, AHCC should be a central component of your immune enhancementregimen. Source Naturals is pleased to partner with your health food store and other outlets in offering cutting-edge supplements to help you take personal charge of your health.Leaders of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product. Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, Source Naturals evaluates the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provides targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Source Naturals' line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms. Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

AUSTRALIA'S BID FOR THE 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP™ OR 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP™ "The proposal in this Bid Book represents the hopes and dreams of perhaps the world's most sports-loving nation. Australia will welcome the world for a FIFA World Cup™, as we have welcomed the world since our nationhood little more than 200 years ago. Our Bid is financially and operationally secure. We are ready to host FIFA's flagship event, and FIFA can be certain Australia will fully deliver on its responsibilities and obligations as a host nation. The expansion of our excellent sports infrastructure will leave a long and lasting benefit to football in Australia and the region." The Honourable Kevin Rudd MP Prime Minister of Australia "A quarter of Australians were born overseas, and three million Australians speak a language other than English at home. Every nation represented at a FIFA World Cup™ in Australia will have its own base of support and be able to call Australia a "home away from home". As a member of the Asian Football Confederation, and a former member of the Oceania Football Confederation, Australia can be a bridge between these regions and an integral player in the development of football in the Asia-Pacific. As hosts, we would consider it our obligation and our proud duty, in partnership with FIFA, to find ways to use the world's greatest event to bring help where it is needed most.

THE IMPACT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS ON STANDBY POWER IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICS DESIGN A Lattice Semiconductor White Paper May 2010 Lattice Semiconductor 5555 Northeast Moore Ct. Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 USA Telephone: (503) 268-8000 www.latticesemi.com 1 The Impact of Energy Efficiency Standards on Standby Power in Consumer Electronics Design A Lattice Semiconductor White Paper Regulatory Measures to Reduce Standby Power Squeezing every last microwatt from a system is a common objective for engineers who are designing battery operated equipment. And as more strict government regulations regarding power consumption appear, even traditional home and office appliances like LCD TVs, set top boxes (STBs) and multifunction printers (MFPs) are being scrutinized for ways to save power. To help ensure products are in compliance with the latest EnergyStar and European Commission Code of Conduct regulations, designers are seeking innovative ways to provide low-power modes of operation in a variety of product lines. This white paper examines design methods and practical advice for saving power using programmable logic devices (PLDs). The 1-Watt Plan is an energy saving proposal by the International Energy Agency (www.iea.org) to reduce standby power use in all appliances to just one watt. Standby power, also called vampire or phantom power, refers to the electricity consumed by many appliances when they are switched off or in standby mode. The typical power loss per appliance is low (from 1 to 25 W), but when multiplied by the billions of appliances in residential and commercial use, standby losses represent a significant fraction of total world electricity use. Research indicates that standby power accounts for as much as 7-13% of household power consumption. While the definition of standby power use depends on the product being analyzed, standby power includes at a minimum the power used while the product is performing no function. PLDs are increasingly being applied to maximize the amount of circuitry that can be unpowered or placed in a standby/sleep mode when the system is idle. Since modern programmable logic devices (PLDs) have very low static current requirements, often in the microampere range, they are ideal as system event...

Rising energy costs are generating new interest in thermal energy based refrigeration systems. These can compete with electrical energy based refrigeration systems if the source of heat energy is waste heat or solar energy. Chillers for industrial use based on absorption refrigeration are commercialized now. In India M/S Thermax manufactures and markets lithium bromide/ water system, based absorption refrigeration machines for industrial and institutional use. These systems are relevant to India because: 1. Ambient temperatures are high through out the year in most parts of the country. Higher ambient temperatures mean more energy is consumed in refrigeration 2. Solar insolation is high in most parts of the country. This implies that we have more energy at our disposal. 3. There is huge potential demand for refrigeration in rural areas, which are best suited for solar energy based refrigeration systems Proposal: Solar energy based refrigeration is an idea whose time has come. The economics are moving into positive zone. Companies who get into this line can expect to reap the benefits in next five years time. Product mix:
Buildings, structures or parts thereof required by this code to have a smoke control system or systems, or a stair pressurization system shall have such systems designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 909 and the generally accepted and well-established principles of engineering relevant to the design. The construction documents shall include sufficient information and detail to adequately describe the elements of the design necessary for the proper implementation of the smoke control systems. These documents shall be accompanied by sufficient information and analysis to demonstrate compliance with these provisions. 1020.1.7 Smokeproof enclosures. In buildings required to comply with Section 403 or 405, each of the exits of a building that serves stories where the floor surface is located more than 75 feet (22 860 mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access or more than 30 feet (9144 mm) below the level of exit discharge serving such floor levels shall be constructed as a smokeproof enclosure or pressurized stairway in accordance with Section 909.20. In buildings required to comply with Section 403, each of the exits of a building that serves stories where the floor surface is located more than 75 feet (22 860 mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access shall be a smokeproof enclosure and pressurized stairway in accordance with Section 909.20. Reason: This proposal would require Stair pressurization for all high rise buildings with required interior stairwells serving floors over 75 ft. Smoke control systems have been required in nearly two thirds of the United States for over a decade.
Construction companies offer free written quotations after visiting the premises and reviewing their scope of work. If the client is happy with the proposal, the written quotation is then converted into a contract with the scope of work defined with more clarity.

Our Part in the Great British Story
24 May 2012
The Great British Story: A People's History - a new landmark eight part television series on BBC TWO, kicks off on Friday 25 May by looking at the roots of early Britain.
The Great British Story
Cardiff University's 2012 excavations of previously unknown vast Roman complexes at Caerleon, South Wales feature in the first programme focusing on how the Romans - who named this far corner of their empire 'Britannia' - envied the land of the Britons with its "winters not too cold, and summers not too hot".
Historian and presenter Michael Wood marvels at the resilience and diversity of its people who turned a small island into a great power, and celebrates "one of the most astonishing tales in history".
The series charts Great Britain and Northern Ireland's remarkable past from the perspective of ordinary people. It utilizes the extraordinary energy and interest of local communities combined with the incredible resources of local archives, museums, societies and universities up and down the land to tell the story of our history.
Taking The Great British Story: A People's History on the road is no mean feat. BBC Learning are giving visitors a unique opportunity to find out more about their own personal history as well as that of their local area in five events around the UK. The Cardiff event is to take place at St Fagans National History Museum on Saturday 16 June (10-5pm).
Michael says: "The Great British Story has revealed things which perhaps we take for granted; Britain has the most incredible variety of people, cultures and traditions. Having a local context to the great events of history brings them alive in a new and captivating way and I hope people will be inspired by the television programmes to continue to uncover their own place in history by visiting one of this summer's events."
As well as the main BBC tour supporting the TV series there are hundreds of other events and activities organised by the BBC's partners taking place across the UK.

Juvenile angiofibroma is a noncancerous growth of the back of the nose or upper throat.
Nasal tumor; Angiofibroma - juvenile; Benign nasal tumor; Juvenile nasal angiofibroma; JNA
Juvenile angiofibroma is not very common. It is usually found in adolescent boys. The tumor contains many blood vessels, spreads within the area in which it started (locally invasive), and can cause bone damage.
The doctor may see the angiofibroma when examining the upper throat.
Tests that may be done include:
Biopsy is generally not recommended due to the high risk of bleeding.
You will need treatment if the angiofibroma is growing larger, blocking the airways, or causing repeated nosebleeds. In some cases, no treatment is needed.
Surgery may be needed to remove the tumor. The tumor may be hard to remove if it is not enclosed and has spread to other areas. Newer surgery techniques that place a camera up through the nose have made tumor removal surgery less invasive.
A procedure called embolization may be done to prevent the tumor from bleeding. The procedure may correct the nosebleeds by itself, but it is usually followed by surgery to remove the tumor.
Although not cancerous, angiofibromas may continue to grow. Some may disappear on their own.
It is common for the tumor to return after surgery.
Call your health care provider if you often have nosebleeds.
There is no known way to prevent this condition.

There's a little something for everybody in Rock Band Blitz. For gamers who have grown bored with Rock Band, this is a refreshing new game that pulls from a library of songs on the hard drive. For those of us who still play Rock Band 3, this is a pack of 25 new songs for little money. And for those who have yet to fall in love with the popular music games, this is an attractive package with nearly four thousand downloadable tracks for your customizing pleasure. In fact, the only people who won't like Rock Band Blitz are those who can't stand music.
Don't let the title fool you, this is a Rock Band game that doesn't require fake plastic instruments. This is a small downloadable Xbox Live Arcade release that allows players to play music using nothing more than their regular Xbox 360 controller. But that's not the only change. By harkening back to the early days of Frequency and Amplitude, Harmonix has created a Rock Band game that feels more like a shooter than rhythm game. Imagine Tempest with all of your favorite rock songs.
In many ways, Blitz is antithetical to the traditional Rock Band experience. This is not a game about memorizing difficult guitar solos and learning how to rock those wicked drum fills. There's no pro guitar here. Instead you get a chaotic mess of lights, colors, noises and explosions. Forget about missing notes, this isn't the type of game where you're being judged on perfection. Even if you wanted to, it's physically impossible to hit every note that comes your way. The last five years you've put into playing fake plastic guitar isn't going to help you in Rock Band Blitz.
There's a lot happening at once, so try to keep up. In Blitz, Harmonix has taken the traditional Rock Band note highway and turned it into a real highway, complete with twists, bridges, dips and large hills. The five instruments (guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals) are set-up in a row, allowing the player to jump from one lane to the next whenever they like. This allows players to pick the instrument they want and then switch when they get bored (or run out of notes).
Now this is where things get start to get tricky. Each song is split up into sections and your goal is to build up the score multiplier for each of the instruments. You do this by playing enough notes correctly in each lane to level up, allowing each instrument's multiplier to increase up to three notches. Once you've completed a section, the game resets the multipliers and you do the same thing over again until the song ends. However, don't leave a lane empty or it will hold the rest of the instruments back. It's a constant battle to make sure all of the lanes are filled before completing a section, as it's the key to earning high scores.
With so much happening at once, it's a good thing there are only two possible notes to hit. Gameplay has largely been reduced to hitting left or right (or the left and right triggers in the control scheme I use). Most of the time you'll alternate from one to the other; however there are a number of variations. There are extended notes, as well as times when you'll need to hit both notes at the same time. Anybody who has seen a rhythm game before will instantly be familiar with the set-up.
Just to complicate things even more, Rock Band Blitz introduces three different types of power-ups. The first is the overdrive power-up, which can be deployed after playing enough white notes. Some of your options include a 2X multiplier (on top of your existing lane multiplier), a bomb and even a rocket that will destroy the notes in a particular lane. Another power-up revolves around the track. Here you choose what instrument you want to have a point bonus.
The most interesting power-up is for the notes. Here you'll be forced to perform some sort of mini-game in order to collect a big point bonus. Unfortunately, these are largely out of your control. For example, one option is to bounce a pinball back and forth while trying to complete lanes. Another option is to hit a series of notes that catch fire one by one. Mastering this power-up and using it in conjunction with the rest of the bonuses is the only way to get the coveted gold stars.
But don't get too excited, because these power-ups come at a steep price. This is not a one-time buy kind of situation; you will need to repurchase these items for every song. Buying two or three power-ups will mean that you're spending more points than you will earn by completing the song, so be careful how many items you load up on. Thankfully you can earn more points by completing challenges on Rock Band World, the new Harmonix Facebook app.
While all of this will be overwhelming at first, the good news is that you'll never die while playing Rock Band Blitz. Gone is the idea of failing a song, so just try your hardest and get as many points as you can. With the power-ups in play, it's not always about hitting 100% of the notes. However, once you do get a note streak going, the game will go into hyper-speed Blitz mode. Needless to say, there's a lot happening all at once.
Because of the way they're displaying all of the instruments at once, this lends itself well to songs with distinctive parts. A song like "We Will Rock You" by Queen, for example, starts with drums, moves into vocals and ends with one of the most memorable guitar solos in rock history. These sections don't overlap, allowing the player to easily feel in control of the action at all times. But that is not the case in most songs. Most of the time you're being pulled in all directions, making for one of the most intense experiences of the year.
Blitz comes with 25 songs new to the Rock Band universe. These songs are of varying quality, from must-have gems (Elton John's "I'm Still Standing," Living Colour's "Cult of Personality"), some unexpected surprises (Kool & the Gang's "Jungle Boogie," Barenaked Ladie's "One Week"), some recent hits (Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks," Fun's We Are Young") and the one of the worst songs of all time (Shinedown's awful Diamond Eyes). Blitz also returns two missing Rock Band 2 songs -- Soundgarden's "Spoonman" and "Give It Away" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Much like past Rock Band products, the music that comes with the game is only a sliver of the experience. Thanks to five years of frequenting the the Rock Band Music Store and Rock Band Network, I have amassed a collection of songs 1,200 strong. All of a sudden I have a brand new way to enjoy all of the music on my hard drive. And not just the downloadable content, but also the tracks from Rock Band 1 and 2, LEGO Rock Band, Green Day: Rock Band, AC/DC Live and the various track packs. About the only thing missing is the ability to play the music from The Beatles: Rock Band and Rock Band 3.
What makes this package even sweeter is the ability to take all 25 Blitz songs into Rock Band 3. That's fifty dollars' worth of music for a fraction of the price. Even if there are a few tracks I wouldn't have bought, it's hard to argue with songs for sixty cents. If this collection of hits doesn't get you to dust off the fake plastic guitar, then nothing will.
Although simple looking, the visuals pack a surprising amount of detail. Each of the stages has unique decorations on each side, including famous faces, venues and other odds and ends from past Rock Band releases. The rollercoaster ride effect is also fun, zipping you around a city bopping to the beat of the song. The audio is also strong, especially when it comes to the original music in the tutorial mode. Why isn't that a playable track?
Rock Band Blitz has some quirks that make it stand out, not always in a flattering way. For one thing, the game takes a long time to set-up. Sure, the 356 MB download is small, but that's just the start. Eventually the game will count all of the Rock Band songs on your hard drive, which takes an alarming amount of time (but only the first time). Then, when that's done, you have to download another 700 MB worth of new music. In total the start-up process took close to a half hour.
Even with an unusually time consuming set-up, Rock Band Blitz is ultimately worth the wait. Even though it's a simple concept, this brand new Xbox Live Arcade release feels like a fully featured game. It's missing some sorting options and the interface is a little clunky, but that shouldn't keep you away from one of the most exciting action/puzzle experiences of the year. Harmonix has done the impossible and created a game just about anybody can love.

The Hamilton OXYFERM dissolved oxygen sensor offers an economical choice for reliable performance, low maintenance, and long lifetime in biotechnology applications. Measuring Principle
The sensor in the OXYFERM electrode is covered with a gas permeable membrane. With sufficient potential between the anode and cathode, the oxygen diffusing through the membrane is completely reduced at the cathode (Clark's principle). The current between anode and cathode is therefore proportional to the oxygen content of the sample. This design virtually eliminates calibration problems and interference from other substances.
Hamilton has also developed the OPTIFLOW™ membrane to withstand testing conditions during sterilization. This new material is a steel mesh reinforced double layer membrane designed to withstand high pressure, while still showing high diffusion rates and short response times.
OXYFERM Performance
- Fast Reponse - The OPTIFLOW membrane delivers short response times of 30 to 60 seconds, even under critical conditions.
- Low Maintenance/Long Lifetime - The special double membrane is less sensitive to contamination and shows excellent stability, even after numerous sterilizations. With no regeneration, the calibration current remains nearly constant after 50 sterilization cycles (see graph).
- Small Flow Sensitivity - Unlike other oxygen sensors that show a high dependency on slowly flowing samples, the flow speed has minimal effect on the OXYFERM because of its membrane material and overall construction.
- Short Polarization Time - The polarization time is the amount of time required after installation for the oxygen to be eliminated around the cathode. The polarization time of the OXYFERM is only 1/3 that of other oxygen sensors. This means shorter set up times for accurate, on-line readings.
- Sensor Autoclaving - An optional connector cap is available for the OXYFERM. Small fermentors can be autoclaved without removing the sensor, offering time-savings and convenience.

You can also select close, mid and far zoom. There are a few nice features. You can select lamp age and the calculator gives results for several screen sizes at once. The results can easily be copied and pasted. It is still a work in progress and Beta form, but still pretty cool. It is a lot quicker than running the calculation for multiple screen size and gains. Take a look at it.

"lt's more than I ever hoped for," said Bettie Gunnells, a regular council meeting attendee. "I'm expecting big things from this council and from what I've seen tonight I won't be disappointed."
David Schneider, who resigned as chairman of the Anniston Historical Preservation Commission after tussles with some of the former council members, was also impressed.
"I just think the attitude and the approach is so much more positive that I think great things are coming," Schneider said.
Alicia Dunaway, who worked with Mayor Vaughn Stewart's election campaign, attended her first City Council meeting with her two children for a real-life civics lesson, she said.
"They helped with the campaign as well, so you know, just kind of seeing the finished process," Dunaway said. "I think it's important for them to understand the process and not just sit in a civics class, but kind of get a feel for what it's really like."
The council members' first meeting went smoothly and quickly. They unanimously approved every item on the agenda with little discussion. They then closed the meeting with a ceremonial touching of the oars to symbolize their role as a team. Stewart told the audience that the oars were a gift received from one of the speakers at the council members' retreat before they were sworn in to office.
"It's symbolic that we all will be paddling in the same direction as a team," Stewart said. "This may be a little corny to some of you — I apologize — but it means a lot to us."
Councilman Jay Jenkins took the symbolism one step further and asked the members to touch oars in a whitewater rafting tradition.
"It's tradition when you exit a big set of rapids for everybody to raise their paddles and touch them together," Jenkins said. "We've exited a rapid, it's time to touch."
In their first regular meeting, the city council members approved:
• An ordinance establishing the meeting procedures for their term, such as when work sessions will be held and how many agenda items can be voted on at a time.
• Allowing the city manager to apply for federal and state funding from the Alabama Department of Transportation for improvements to the Anniston Regional Airport.
• A liquor license for Lil Dixie's Cue and Grill on Noble Street.
• A liquor license for a catering operation for Classic Too on Noble Street.
• The election of Councilman Seyram Selase as vice mayor.
• A bid from Complete Construction Services, L.L.C. for $18,225 to re-roof Norwood Hodges Community Center.
• A bid from Vulcan Heating and Air Conditioning Service for $6,650 a month to maintain the heating and air conditioning units in the city's facilities.

Review: Omega Base Theme for Drupal 7
I'm always on the hunt for a better base theme. I stuck with Zen for many a Drupal 6 project, and then switched to Fusion once I learned the ways of the grid. For a recent Drupal 7 project however, I decided to go a new direction and give the Omega base theme a try. I had heard some buzz about the theme at Drupalcon, and the theme's feature set caught my attention. Amongst the selling points for me:
- Flexible theme with tons of layout choices
- Fully HTML5
- Uses an "Adaptive" Grid
- Mobile-ready
- Contextual Layouts (w/ the companion Delta module)
- Import/export of theme settings (w/ with the Omega Tools module)
So without further ado, on to the review!
Flexibility is a Virtue
Omega uses a three-tiered hierarchy of containers which can be built up to create a variety of layouts. Regions live in zones, and zones live in sections. There are a whopping 23 sections (e.g. header first, content second, sidebar first, etc.), which can be placed in any of 8 zones (e.g. header zone, menu zone, preface zone, etc.), which can placed in any of 3 sections (header, content, footer), in any order.
Its not the simplest system, but its powerful. Add in some options like "Force this region to be rendered" and "Provide full width wrapper around this zone", and you have the flexibility to create any layout you can dream up. I found myself doing much less mucking around in tpl.php files than I would with another base them.
Welcome to the Grid
Omega uses the now standard 960 grid system, giving you the choice of 12 column, 16 column, and 24 flavors. Like Fusion, it gives you a "grid overlay" debug mode, which displays the grid on top of your theme. It has questionable utility, but it looks cool. I suppose you could use it demonstrate that your sub-theme adheres to the grid, after completion. If you haven't used a grid before to streamline your development and improve your designs, Omega is a great place to start.
Adapt and Overcome
There are plenty of grid-based base themes, but Omega is the first one to offer what the module author has dubbed an "adaptive grid". It works like this: You define different display settings. By default Omega comes with settings for "wide", "normal", "narrow", and "mobile". You specify the window sizes that which these settings to apply to. For example, you could set "normal" to apply to a browser window that's between 480 and 1024 pixels. You could set "wide" to apply to anything greater than this range, and set "mobile" to anything less than this range.
When viewing the theme, Omega will use a different grid width depending on the current browser window width. Using the example above, a browser window 1000 pixels wide would invoke the normal grid, 960 pixels wide. Stretch your browser window out to 1600 pixels wide, and the wide grid will automatically be invoked, widening the page to 1200 pixels. Shrink your browser window down to 400 pixels wide, and the mobile setting will be invoked, removing the grid entirely and making each block full fluid width, stacked on top of one another for easy mobile scrolling and good visibility.
The same Omega subtheme at 2 different browser widths: normal (left) and mobile (right).
To see it in action is pretty cool. It's like having the flexibility of a fluid width theme with the certainty of a fixed-width theme.
All the magic happens through css3 media queries. You could achieve the same effect outside of Omega by writing your own media queries, but letting Omega do it for you is much easier.
Its All About Context
There's a companion module to Omega called Delta, which piggybacks on top of the Context module, and lets you specify different theme settings for different contexts. For example, you could have a left and right sidebar as a default, but then put both sidebars on the right just for the home page. Truth be told, I didn't have a need for this on the project I used Omega for, but it seems like a great idea. On a project with multiple layouts, I could see this module saving some time I'd otherwise have to spend editing tpl.php files.
I'm an Importer-Exporter.*
Omega has another companion module known as Omega Tools, that has a handy theme settings importer/exporter. This was incredibly useful for my project, as I was able to tweak theme settings, then copy and paste them back into my subtheme's .info file, essentially making them new defaults. For anyone building a contrib theme based on Omega or using Omega in a distribution, you want this feature…trust me!
Verdict: Great
All in all I found Omega to be flexible, well-organized, and a pleasure to work with. The whole adaptive grid thing is a real innovation, and I'll be curious where Omega maintainers
himerus Jake Strawn, Development Geeks and Sebastian Siemssen take it in future versions of the theme.
One caveat I'll make in my endorsement is that Omega isn't the simplest base theme to start with. The extra theme settings, the hierarchy of regions, and the adaptive grid all make for a bit more work. For novice themers, I'd recommend they start with simpler like Zen, which is also a great base theme in its own right. Then give Omega a try when you're ready!
*If you got this reference, you watched too much TV in the 90s.
Thanks for the review Chris!
Thanks for the review Chris! I'd like to point out that we are planning to make Omega much simpler. Once Omega Tools and Omega itself are in the release-candidate phase I will start building a more visual UI around Omega and especially the region & zone configuration. This will include a drag&drop interface similiar to the Panels Layout builder.
Great Review!
I agree with every thing you've stated in this review 100%. It's a great theme that really alleviates many headaches with regards to building around drupal.
Omega vs. Dedicated Mobile App
What is your feeling about the benefits of a dedicated mobile website versus using Omega to make the website friendly for mobile devices? This is particularly relevant in light of Jakob Nielsen's September 26, 2011 findings (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/mobile-usability.html) that "A dedicated mobile site is a must, and apps get even higher usability scores."
AdaptiveTheme, http://drupal
AdaptiveTheme, http://drupal.org/project/adaptivetheme, is the easiest Drupal 7 base theme. It is mobile by responsive web design.
Many popular themes use AdaptiveTheme as a base theme, and are therefore also mobile and responsive design:
As I understood, Omega is
As I understood, Omega is responsive theme too
drupal themes design
I will be waiting for new look of your site with new design/theme. As your said there all many free themes are available for Jrupal, wordpress, Joomla and Magento as well. But Magento is bit faster than drupal so designers look to work for it and wordpress too. But as the situation is changing so, along with other web designer I am also going to get an design experience with drupal.
omega vs fusion vs adaptive
which theme is the best? some people say fusion, other say adpative and other say omega. Now acquia is using omega. I am using acquia maria in my site http://vision4life.in. easy to maintain. Is responsive and html5 is a must for the future? Ofcourse these days most visitors are using mobile, hence mobile friendly theme is a must. Any of these are more seo friendly?
As a new Drupal user, I
As a new Drupal user, I decided to go for the "easy" option and build a multilingual site with Omega, while learning CSS at the same time (plus Display Suite and Views). The result is a site which is almost ready, but which I'm not fully in control of - and will ultimately need to be rebuilt from the bottom up, or at least substantially reworked.
So, I agree that Omega definitely isn't a beginner theme. There's just too much to learn in Drupal and I think a beginner would develop a much stronger base on which to build by starting with a simpler theme. In fact, I would even recommend to any beginner to stick with the Drupal Core for your first site.
What would have been nice in Omega:
- Out of the box responsive imaging (AT has it, for example);
- A way to apply a Delta snapshot through Context to a specific window size. For example, on one node I have 3 columns (2 sidebars and the content region). This works on normal and wide but becomes less good for narrow. It would have been nice to have been able to apply a two-column layout for narrow.

2002 Mega Movie Guide
(Page 49 of 49)

Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Sex/Nudity: 8 scenes, including sex. Violence: 11 scenes, including shootings. Profanity: 4 expressions. Drugs: 13 scenes of smoking, drinking.
Directors: Cathy Malkasian, Jeff McGrath. With (voices) Ian Abercrombie, Brenda Blethyn, Lacey Chabert. (79 min.)
Sterritt **** Eliza can talk with animals, which is handy in the African wild, where she lives with her eccentric parents, a chimpanzee named Darwin, and a self-absorbed sister. It's less handy when she's sent to a British boarding school where neither she nor Darwin fit in, and worse yet, poachers are threatening her elephant friends back home. Lively characters, snappy dialogue, and snazzy visuals make this an uncommonly fine animation.
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 9 scenes, mostly with the poachers. Profanity: None. Drugs: None.
Director: John Woo. With Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach, Christian Slater, Roger Willie, Peter Stormare. (134 min.)
Sterritt * A marine sergeant is ordered to accompany a Navajo code talker into battle and protect him from harm - or kill him if there's a danger he'll be captured. The film claims to celebrate native American contributions in World War II, but its main priority is to let Woo create lots of the choreographed violence he's built his career on. It doesn't help that Cage is the opposite of subtle, grimacing so much he seems to be acting with his teeth.
Staff ** Thin story line, gory, grim, bad acting.
Sex/Nudity: 3 instances of innuendo. Violence: 9 scenes, including graphic battles. Profanity: 55 harsh words. Drugs: 15 scenes of smoking, drinking.
Director: Rob Cohen. With Vin Diesel, Asia Argento, Samuel L. Jackson. (120 min.)
Sterritt * Extreme sports meet cold-war politics as our hero gets recruited by the government to battle an anarchist gang in Eastern Europe. If your idea of star power is "buff to the max" with "attitude to spare," as the publicity puts it, then Diesel is your man. But do we really need a warmed-over James Bond adventure with 007 transformed into the village idiot?
Sex/Nudity: 4 scenes. Violence: 18 scenes, including shootings. Profanity: 15 strong expressions. Drugs: 12 scenes with smoking, drinking, drugs.
Director: Alfonso Cuarón. With Maribel Verdú, Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal. (115 min.)
Sterritt ** Faced with serious problems in her life, a woman takes off on a road trip with two teen boys fueled by youthful energy, various intoxicants, and hyperactive sex drives. Cuarón gives an offbeat flavor to this coming-of-age tale by combining up-close camera work with a modernistic third-person narration, and by touching on noteworthy social and political issues in the margins of the story. In Spanish with English subtitles.
Staff *** Reckless, life-affirming, beautiful.
Sex/Nudity: 9 scenes, very graphic, including full nudity. Violence: 3 mild scenes. Profanity: 109 harsh expressions. Drugs: 19 scenes with smoking, 9 with drinking, 5 with marijuana.
Director: Arik Kaplun. With Nir Levi, Shmil Ben Ari, Moscu Alcalay. (95 min.)
Staff ***1/2 This engaging love story is simultaneously humorous, beautiful, and real. The story takes place in Israel under the threat of war with Iraq, when an Israeli filmmaker crosses paths with a Russian émigré. The film's rustic moments of joy and poignant glimpses into the human situation will affirm what you already knew: life has a funny way of working out. By Aaron Bingham
Staff ***1/2 Light-hearted, funny, comforting.
Sex/Nudity: 7 instances, including 2 brief sex scenes. Violence: 6 scenes. Profanity: 10 expressions. Drugs: 10 scenes of drinking, smoking.

New testing outlines which Mac malware tools detect known threats the best.
Before it was flagged and removed, one of the most successful apps on Google Play for over a week was an "antivirus" app that did nothing other than change an image.
Testing security suites isn't glamorous, but effective software can be all that keeps you from an infected machine. Here's how CNET determines security suite performance.
Norton AntiVirus 2010 builds on the immense progress made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.
According to CBS, police in Belize are investigating the shooting death of American expat Gregory Faull and want to question John McAfee, a neighbor who had quarreled with him recently.
Even without a security suite, Windows 8 is safer than Windows 7. Adding just about any third-party security suite makes it even safer, a new study finds.
Norton AntiVirus 2009 hits all the right security notes, and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some, technical support may continue to frustrate.
Widely praised as the best malware removal and prevention tool, it normally sells for around $50.

This was the third year Renovation Ministries and its founder and director Chris Terrell have provided Thanksgiving meals for those less fortunate. This year, Terrell decided to expand the program from feeding 300 families to 500. Making that possible were $13,000 in donations and several churches contributing specific food items, as well as their time.
"It's a way for all walks of life to come together with an attitude of generosity and gratitude," Terrell said.
Beginning in October, families could register for their meals with Community Enabler. Families who met the income requirements received vouchers to collect a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, milk and eggs. It's important for these families to be able to cook a Thanksgiving meal in their own homes, said Holly Robinson, one of the volunteers with Renovation Ministries. That's why volunteers provided everything it takes to make a Thanksgiving feast, right down to the butter. Volunteers helped recipients carry heavy brown paper bags filled with food to cars or nearby homes.
Mayor Vaughn Stewart was at the community center to thank volunteers for their time and efforts. He said he was impressed by the number of volunteers and the amount of food they collected.
"A lot of those people in that gymnasium would not have a Thanksgiving dinner but for this … This is what a community does, they come together and not just for holidays, but year round," Stewart said.
For Selma residents Daryl and Shannon Whitaker the food giveaway was a chance to teach their three daughters how important it is to give back to a community.
"We wanted our kids to experience what true Thanksgiving is about." Shannon Whitaker said.
The Whitaker family helped collect 500 boxes of potatoes to donate through the Crosspoint Christian Church in Selma. They and another family from their church drove to Anniston to help hand out food.
The First Baptist Church in Weaver had more than 30 volunteers at the community center to help.
"Some are handing out food, some are walking food out to cars and praying for people who need prayers," said Jordan Barkley, a Weaver volunteer.
Barkley said he sees these acts of kindness as an uplifting message for everyone in the community.
"It sends a positive message that local churches care and want everybody to have a happy Thanksgiving," Barkley said.
For Pastor Chris Spurlin of the Lakeview Baptist Church in Oxford, Sunday was a day to be proud and thankful for what his congregation accomplished. He announced his goal of collecting 500 cans of corn for donation several weeks ago and the Lakeview congregation went above and beyond his expectations by collecting 1,100 cans.
"It's great to see the love of my church and God's power at work," Spurlin said.
As families walked into the room lined with tables full of food, many expressed their gratitude to volunteers. The rustle of cans being placed into bags and people wishing one another "happy Thanksgiving" filled the air.
Without donations, a traditional Thanksgiving might not be possible for families like Brenda Ervin's, of Oxford. Feeding her eight-person household a Thanksgiving meal she could be proud of was tough to picture in this economy. She's grateful to the volunteers for allowing her to enjoy the holiday with loved ones.
"I always look forward to spending time with my family for Thanksgiving … this is a big help. God is always there," Ervin said.

Syracuse Manufacturer Will Compete for National SBA Award
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The U.S. Small Business Administration has selected Louis J. DeMent, CEO and vice president of Giovanni Food Company based in Syracuse, N.Y., as the New York State winner of the 2013 Small Business Person of the Year Award. Nominated by the Greater Syracuse Business Development Corporation, Giovanni's was chosen for the award based on its growth in sales and employees, staying power, response to adversity as well as charitable contributions.
Giovanni Food Company has been making pasta sauces since 1934, when the DeMent family first opened their Italian-style restaurant in Oswego, NY. The DeMents started making sauces on a larger scale in the 1950s before eventually expanding into other tomato-based product lines. Second-generation owner Jack DeMent led the transition to a larger facility in Liverpool in 2006. Within a year, Jack passed away unexpectedly and his 34-year-old son Louis stepped forward to lead the family business.
By 2009, Giovanni's was bursting at the seams again, even producing some product batches at another Syracuse tomato product manufacturer. When that facility was for sale later in the year, Lou recognized an opportunity. Giovanni's used SBA 504 and 7(a) loans from GSBDC and NBT Bank to purchase the manufacturing plant and its equipment, increasing capacity from one to three modern production lines.
Today, Giovanni products can be found on grocery and specialty store shelves across the U.S. The company also packs pasta sauces, pizza sauces, salsas, and barbeque sauces for many private label customers who distribute products worldwide. Under Lou DeMent's leadership, sales have increased 49% over the past three years and the number of employees has grown to 68.
Giovanni's CEO Lou DeMent will receive the Syracuse District and New York State awards at SBA's annual awards luncheon on May 6 at The Doubletree Hotel in Syracuse. DeMent will compete for the national award at SBA's National Small Business Week celebration on June 21 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The only reason I upgraded to Acrobat X Pro from standard was to be able to embed cine loops/video into Powerpoint slides that would play upon conversion to PDFs via PDFMaker.
I've made some small test ppts and converted them. Sometimes they convert, sometimes they don't.
Of the converted files, I embedded two videos converted from mp4 via the "Embed Flash" option under the Acrobat heading on the Powerpoint ribbon.
One plays as it should. The other just displays an all black window. Both files were MP4s. Got no error messages. Both MP4s look fine/play fine in Powerpoint. So why won't one convert correctly - no error message so PDFMaker seems to think it converted fine. Seems like it is very unreliable.
Can anyone help?
What happens when you embed the MP4 directly into Acrobat using the Tools > Content > Multimedia > Video command? Perhaps the video isn't encoded properly.
Also, is this the 64-bit version of Powerpoint or the 32-bit version? If it's the bit 64-version, then it's necessary to install a 64-bit version of Flash Player for Internet Explorer. Currently, Adobe 64-bit Flash Player is in beta phase. You can download a preview release of Flash Player with the code name "Square" from Adobe Labs at labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html.
Thank you for trying to help. I have Powerpoint 2010 32 bit version. I have made some progress, but spent an inordinate amount of time doing so.
I can't embed directly into Acrobat using the commands you provided in your first message. This is what I am trying:
Insert new page. While on that page go to tools>Content>Multimedia>Video... I click video Nothing actually happens. Not sure how this is supposed to work or be helpful. There is no prompt to select a file, no dialog box, nothing...the selection just has a check mark next to it and stares back at me.
But if I select, Insert Page from Another File, and then adjust, "files of type" to be the video files, I can load the video directly into the PDF. Of course then I don't have them formatted in the same slide background, etc. as the rest of the presentation and, "IT AIN'T PRETTY!". And the insert only lets me insert "before" or "after" current slide, not onto the current slide...
I found that the inserted MP4 files displayed in jerky fashion and appear to have fewer frames than the original. In Powerpoint they play fine and move smoothly. Another problem was that the files "blinked" before playing. In other words, image 1 is displayed. If I click on the image, it goes black for a second and then the image comes back and plays its loop. After much trial and error and loss of hours of my life I will never get back, I found that iif I turned off hardware acceleration and let it play in "software," the files played fine with no blinking. However, how will I know how viewers of my content have their computers set up? This is pretty sketchy implementation, or, more likely, I just don't know what I'm doing.
Also, I see no way to make the slide play continuously. I get one loop per click. I did edit the properties so that it would "Disable when:" "The page containing the content is closed." This doesn't seem to make any difference and it still stops after one loop even while the page is displayed. Is there a way to make the files that are directly embedded into the PDF play continuously once triggered? Actually, I guess I don't care about that so much as, overall, inserting the cine loops directly into the PDF is a bad solution as the slide doesn't have the Powerpoint theme and formatting and such.
Concerning the embed process in Powerpoint using the Adobe Acrobat X Pro add-in: I converted the test video to MP4 and MOV from an original AVI using Prism Video File Converter and each displayed just fine in their native format in Powerpoint (and I could loop them continuously!)
However during the embed process in Powerpoint, when I use the Acrobat "Embed Flash" tool, the video is inserted as an all black window on the slide...I can't see the content at all. If I save the file as a PPTm, the images do appear in the Powerpoint slideshow and play, albeit with the initial blank image problem/Flicker despite hardware acceleration still being turned off. Again I can see no way to make an embedded image loop continuously as long as the slide is displayed. I get one loop and have to trigger it again. Also, once I play the show, the image then does appear on the slide in the, "normal" editing mode. Pretty weird that I have to play the show to get the image and controls to appear in edit mode...
So, bottom line questions:
1 Can I do an "embed flash" and get the image to play continuously unless stopped by the user using the controls?
2. Can I do an "embed flash" and avoid the business where the cine box goes blank before displaying the embedded video?
3. Can I do an "embed flash" that doesn't start off life in the PPT presentation as an empty black box that only displays the video after it has been put through a slide show experience?
BTW, I am a physician and I'm trying to embed cine loops of 3D medical images from my radiology practice into secure PDF files for distribution to interested health care professionals. Since the images reflect my practice, I want them and the entire presentation to be as professional as possible. I have to tell you, this is pretty frustrating since I paid for the Acrobat X PRO out of pocket and it isn't a business expense/tax deductible, etc. I would never have thought this process would be so convoluted in such a mature product. Any additional help that you or others on the forum can provide would be much appreciated, and of course I do appreciate your efforts to date.
Best regards,
The Video tool in Acrobat is waiting for you to drag out a rectangle on the page, where you want the video to be placed. As soon as you do that, it'll prompt for the file to embed.
Using the Video tool you get to pick the poster frame (the image to show when the annotation isn't activated) - either from the video itself or from a still image. The momentary flash of black you see in the PDF is caused by the decompression process - when the page opens, Acrobat (or Reader) has to unpack the embedded video file and hand it off to Flash Player, which takes a second or two. Hardware acceleration has no effect on this, as it's not a graphics event. However if you use the first frame of the video as the poster image, it's a lot less obvious to the viewer.
Looping continually isn't possible with the default video playback widget in Acrobat, but it can be done by switching the default widget for another one. We have an upgraded version which loops by default, that you can download free - see the instructions on the link about how to install it.

The use of "significance" in reporting statistical results is fraught with problems—but they could be solved with a simple change in practice
Megan D. Higgs
The statistician and biologist Ronald Fisher is usually given credit (or blame) for the attachment of the word significant to statistical results, thanks to his coining of the term "test of significance" and to the incredibly liberal use of the word in his 1925 text Statistical Methods for Research Workers. However, evidence suggests he borrowed the idea from previous uses of the word in discussions about judging how likely it was that an event was due to chance as opposed to a "real" effect.
The University of Southampton economist John Aldrich points to two late-19th-century uses of the word in a pre-Fisher statistical context. In 1885, the political economist Francis Ysidro Edgeworth wrote: "In order to determine whether the observed difference between the mean stature of 2,315 criminals and the mean stature of 8,585 British adult males belonging to the general population is significant.…" In 1888, the logician John Venn (of Venn diagram fame) stated, "As before, common sense would feel little doubt that such a difference was significant, but it could give no numerical estimate of the significance." In a 1982 article for American Psychologist, Michael Cowles and Caroline Davis also point to a famous 1908 paper by William Gosset (who wrote under the pseudonym Student). Student used the s-word in introducing the t-distribution: "Three times the probable error in the normal curve, for most purposes, would be considered significant."
These instances notwithstanding, it appears that Fisher's generous use of the word in Statistical Methods for Research Workers was initially responsible for the need of a second definition in the dictionary today. In addition, the common use of the 0.05 p-value as nearly the sole criterion for dichotomizing and labeling results as significant or not appears to have some of its first roots in that text. Fisher wrote: "The value for which P = 0.05, or 1 in 20, is 1.96 or nearly 2; it is convenient to take this point as a limit in judging whether a deviation is to be considered significant or not. Deviations exceeding twice the standard deviation are thus formally regarded as significant."
In these early uses of the word, authors appear to intend the meaning of "showing something," and not necessarily "showing something important." Even in these cases, however, the ability to judge the strength of intended meaning is admittedly difficult, providing even more reason for promoting careful and sparing use of the word today. It seems naive to believe that we, as humans, can ignore the word's everyday meaning when we enter the realm of statistics, particularly when it is ambiguously defined even in statistical contexts.
In his 1956 book, Statistical Methods and Scientific Inference, Fisher is notably more careful in his discussions of cutoffs and significance. In discussing the practice of rejecting a hypothesis, he states:
No scientific worker has a fixed level of significance at which from year to year, and in all circumstances, he rejects hypotheses; he rather gives his mind to each particular case in the light of his evidence and his ideas. It should not be forgotten that the cases chosen for applying a test are manifestly a highly selected set, and that the conditions of selection cannot be specified even for a single worker; nor that in the argument used it would clearly be illegitimate for one to choose the actual level of significance indicated by a particular trial as though it were his lifelong habit to use just this level.
This language is clearly different from the strict classification Fisher suggested in 1925. Although I lay some blame on Fisher for early uses of the s-word, I believe he would take issue with its rampant use today, particularly if, as Salsberg suggests, its meaning carries more weight now than it did in 1956. We can strive to be one of the scientific workers Fisher describes, and omitting the s-word from our work is a starting point with serious potential.
Fisher goes on to say, "In choosing the ground upon which a general hypothesis should be rejected, personal judgment may and should be properly exercised. The experimenter will rightly consider all points on which, in the light of current knowledge, the hypothesis may be imperfectly accurate." The perfect place to insert such descriptions of reasoning and justifications of personal judgment is just where the word significant used to reside.
