|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-496) New tool for reseting the (length)norm of fields after changing Similarity
|Wed, 15 Feb 2006 05:03:45 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-496?page=comments#action_12366436 ] Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-496: ------------------------------------- Looks good! Should this be in the index package? You could even optionally reconstruct the boost if you wanted to (to the precision allowed by the 8 bit float at least) by using the original Similarity to calculate what the lengthNorm is alone, and comparing against the actual norm. > New tool for reseting the (length)norm of fields after changing Similarity > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-496 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-496 > Project: Lucene - Java > Type: New Feature > Components: Index > Reporter: Hoss Man > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LengthNormModifier.java, TestLengthNormModifier.java > > I've written a little tool that seems like it can/will be very handy as I tweak my custom similarity.

New Balance Women's 990 v3 Running Shoe Reviews
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 31reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyceahsq Great Shoe Good support-should be for how much it costs. The only thing i don't like is the tongue is too short. For those who have arthritic hands, that presents a problem. July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by katykatt really comfortable and nice looking I need comfortable shoes for walking and am very particular because of foot pain. I finally found what I was looking for with these New Balance shoes. LIke them so much I bought a second pair. December 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by mike1010 didnt like went back to sketchers they are comfortable. These new balance hurt my feet. December 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ca08 I really like the looks of this shoe. It is on a list from my foot doctor; I have plantar fasciitis on one foot and wear molded insoles. The non affected foot fits fine. The foot with this problem in this shoe is uncomfortable at the right side ball of the foot. I feel like the shoe is narrower at this point, and the stitching is rubbing against my foot. I like shoes with rounded, wider toes for movement and harder heel support as indicated. I have another pair of New Balance 990 shoes, and it is the same problem with those; making me wonder. Break-in time was fine. I just wear them minimum time until too painful. I would recommend them to someone without foot problems. Before this diagnosis, I would purchase New Balance most of the time. Now I have to be more selective. January 31, 2014

Exercise on the Beach continued...
No buckets? Try getting on your feet.
Walking in the soft sand of the beach alone is a workout, says Calabrese. "Sand gives you the extra resistance that you wouldn't have on a treadmill or on asphalt," she says. "You can do it barefooted and you'll feel a great workout in your feet, shins, and calves."
Ayres agrees. "Beach walking is great for ankle stability," he says. "Eighty percent of ankle sprains are rolling out of the ankle because the lateral ankle is weak. I don't have a client daily that I don't do strength training where we're standing on one leg."
One-legged stork stands in the sand improve balance and ankle stability, says Ayres.
If the spirit moves you, Calabrese says, you can create a great strength workout with just you, a beach towel, and of course, some sunscreen. Alternate walking, jogging, and sprinting to work the lower body and get the heart rate elevated.
"The beach can be so tranquil and yet so energizing. Start out by walking, and all of a sudden you get the energy from the earth and you start to jog a little."
Calabrese then suggests either doing walking lunges or stationary lunges the length of your beach towel. Work the upper body with pushups and reverse planks and the abdominals with crunches on the towel.
The peaceful mood of the ocean's edge is a great time to stretch as well, she says. "Finish with some stretching, deep breathing, and meditation," she says, "taking time to close your eyes and feel the ocean mist and smell the salty air."
Poolside Fitness
The days of playing "Marco Polo" and doing cannonballs may be a distant memory, but you can still get a great workout in the pool.
Swimming is an obvious choice and an option many people use all year round in heated pools at health clubs. It's is an excellent, low-impact, whole-body workout.
But it's not very social, so if you're with the family, make it fun.
"Everybody's got floaties," says Pittsley. Any kind will do, but the smaller, the more work you'll have to do. For example, one of those long, skinny noodles is a great challenge.

There is no support in this app. Not in the game, not through the App Store. I have paid for my purchases already and was forced to delete the app and reinstall it. They are all gone, with no way to restore them, an apparently no help available. I will never spend another penny on this app. Don't buy it, or if you do... Don't ever remove it.

I have a List with objects List<> my_objects. Several threads can change this list. Let's suppose that I do not have any locking mechanism for controlling the access to the list.
What happens, if I'm working with an object of the list and suddenly another thread sets the array to null?
MyObject o = my_objects[i];
//now a second thread has set my_objects to null
Will a NullPointerException occur?
Furthermore, what happens if a second thread removes the considered object from the list while I'm working with it in the first thread?
//second thread:
//y = i
MyObject o2 = my_objects[y];

A 21-year-old male was arrested early Saturday after he took a vehicle without permission to go and make up with his girlfriend, according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.
The 52-year-old victim called police around 2 a.m. Saturday to report the male went into her purse and took her keys without permission and drove away in her red Dodge Caravan.
Police soon found the vehicle and attempted to make a traffic stop on Atlanta Highway near the Racetrac.
When the driver saw the flashing lights on the police car he quickly turned right onto the access road by Georgia Square Mall.
Officers turned on their sirens and attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver refused to stop and drove around the back of the mall and proceeded to turn onto various streets behind the mall.
According to police, the driver never went over 24 miles per hour and used proper turning signals each time he made a turn.
Although he failed to yield, the driver continued to obey all traffics laws and was not being hazardous to other drivers, police said.
The driver eventually pulled into a driveway and parked the car.
Officers drew their weapons and ordered the driver to get out of the car. The driver put his hands up and exited the vehicle and listened as officers gave verbal commands for the man to get on the ground where officers handcuffed him.
The man told police he and his girlfriend were arguing over the phone earlier that night and he wanted to leave his house to see her and make things right.
He said when he asked the owner of the vehicle if he could borrow the car she refused and they got into an argument and he took the car without permission.
The reason he did not stop for police was because he knew he did not have a valid driver's license and he did not want the car to get towed because it was the victim's only mode of transportation.
Police arrested the driver for criminal trespass, damaged property, driving without a license, and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
He was transported to the Clarke County jail and turned over to the custody of the Clarke County Sheriff's Office.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2005
Running Time: 110
Director: Andre Madness
Company: Kick Ass Pictures
Cast: Jay Star (I), Trent Sulari, Buster Good, Sophia Castello, Monique Madison, Dulce (I), Van Damage, Brian Surewood, Steven St. Croix, Estella Leon
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Well-acted scenarios help this atina series stand out, such as the opening number where barefoot Estella Leon is interrogated by gringo cop Steven St. Croix. Inevitably she winds up on her knees giving him a sloppy wet deep throat blowjob to earn her release.
Half-Egyptian hottie Dulce's scene begins with her nude wrestling Trent Sulari, and ends with an anal safari. Jay Star is also outstanding in the final scene where she plays a whorish immigrant wife who gets boned in the ass by jealous husband Brian Surewood. Booty queen Sophia Castello and cover girl Monique Madison also deliver strong performances, though the direction of the sex scenes is fairly average.
Retailing: Another satisfying entry in this AVN Award-winning series.

St. James Theatre
300 Cookman Avenue,
Asbury Park,
2 people favorited this theater
The New St. James Theatre was opened in 1917 and was designed by architect Thomas Lamb. Later this theatre had a Todd-AO projector.
It was demolished in 1974.
Recent comments (view all 23 comments)
There's a source with information that calls into question the claim that this theater was originally called the Rosenberg. Page 89 of "Asbury Park's Glory Days: The Story of an American Resort," by Helen-Chantal Pike, says:
"But when the St. James opened, its most noteworthy feature was located on the marquee. The name that topped the sign was Reade, and thereafter the father and his only son would be known, respectively, as Walter Reade Sr. and Walter Reade Jr."Also of note is this item in The Moving Picture World of August 5, 1916:
"Rosenberg Interested in Theater.I don't see why the St. James Theater Company would open their new house as the Rosenberg Theatre when Walter Rosenberg had already adopted the surname Reade by the time it opened. Also, in the whole wide Internet, this page of Cinema Treasures is the only place where the name "Rosenberg Theatre" appears. I'm not sure that Cinema Treasures is the most reliable source of information. ;–)
"Asbury Park.-The St. James Theater Company, Inc., has been formed with Henry Rosenberg, Helen L. Bergen, and Henry Sincer as incorporators. The registered office is at 300 Cookman avenue, and the authorized capital is $100,000."
Hello! Why is the Mayfair Theater pictured on the St. James Theatre site above? It even says Mayfair Theatre, Asbury Park, N.J.
The St. James is the red brick building right next to the Mayfair. Perhaps it never got its own postcard.
It really is heartbreaking seeing the old postcards of Asbury Park. I vacationed there as a boy with my family in the 60s. It was a very beautiful seaside town with both honky-tonk and class side by side. I don't think anything like it exists today.
The St James and Mayfair were great theaters. How lucky people were back then to have such wonderful movie theaters to go to after a day at the beach and then a late evening stroll on the boardwalk.
Henry Rosenberg (the father of Walter) built this theater. Rosenberg was the grandson of Oscar Hammerstein I, and uncle of Oscar Hammerstein II. Rosenberg(s) changed their name to Reade at the start of WWI
Thank's Hyford for your comment today!
Although Henry Rosenberg built the theater, he had changed the family surname to Reade by the start of World War I, (c.1914). The St. James Theatre didn't open until 1917.
Since the top of the marquee said Reade, it could be said that the name of the theater was Reade St. James Theatre. But in practicality, Reade was never used as a part of the theater's name.
And Rosenberg was never a part of its name!
Just a clarification on Gary Crawford's comment (April 17, 2008 at 11:23 am) that the theatre was originally named the Rosenberg Theatre. Again, it never was! It opened as the (Reade) St. James Theatre in 1917 and retaind that name, or a variation, until its demolition in 1974. Please, let's check the accuracy of our comments. Thanks!
Saw Hello Dolly here in July '70. Believe it was in Todd AO. Wonderful roadshow theater. Comfortable with large screen. Sat mat and practically empty. No reserved seats and continuous showings. By that time roadshow presentation was just about dead though Dolly was still paying exclusive engagements and would go wide later in the summer.
I do think mezz was 50 cents more than orch or balc. Though I just sat there anyway and usherette didn't mind.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c: What Is New
By Javier Puerta-Oracle on Jan 15, 2016
Great post "Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c: New and Exciting Features" from Dan Koloski, Senior Director, Product Management & Business Development.
Great post "Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c: New and Exciting Features" from Dan Koloski, Senior Director, Product Management & Business Development.
Share the survey with your customers to start a conversation on how Oracle can help meet these challenges head-on by delivering greater business value through higher service quality, automation, and cost control with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c.
Oracle Corporation - Worldwide Headquarters, 500 Oracle Parkway, OPL - E-mail Services, Redwood Shores, CA 94065, United States
The Database Admin? The Systems Admin? What about the storage admin? Brian Bream, CTO of Collier IT, gives us his opinion on the matter, as well as other reactions about the Exadata that he gets from the students of his Oracle University classes.
The Engineered Systems Operational Management group, recently created at Oracle, intends to help customers to implement best practices in the operation management of their Exa platforms.
The Engineered Systems Operational Management (ESOM) Planning Workshop is designed to enable customers to plan and prepare for the optimal management of Engineered Systems in their own environment. As a partner working in Engineered Systems projects you can request Oracle to have this workshop run for your qualified customers.
If you are a registered member of the Exadata Partner Community, you can access the full description of the content of the workshop in the "Engineered Systems Operational Management (ESOM) Planning Workshop" datasheet. (Access is restricted to community members only - if you get an error message, please register for the Community first)
To request to have this workshop delivered to one of your customers please contact your partner representative or your local Engineered Systems Business Development Manager.
This Internet Seminar will provide an overview of the new manageability features in the Oracle Database 12c release. Learn new features for managing and monitoring your Oracle Database 12c multitenant databases. Hear first-hand how to support the entire consolidation lifecycle from planning, testing, migrating, and tuning multitenant databases.
The Manageability & Engineered Systems EMEA Partner Community Session that we have traditionally hold in San Francisco around Oracle Openworld, this year will take place as part of the Oracle Partner Exchange:
To attend this session you must have registered to the Oracle Partner Exchange. Remember that if you register to Oracle OpenWorld then you can include Oracle Partner Exchange as an add-on package for just 100 US$!
Jules Lane is the author of several whitepapers on manageability in Exa environments. The key content of those whitepapers is now presented n a 40 min webcast titled "Achieving Operational Management Benefits in Oracle Engineered Systems environments".
You can watch the video here
IT organizations are struggling with the need to balance the day-to-day concerns of data center management against the business level requirements to deliver long-term value. This balancing act has proven difficult and inefficient: systems and application management tools are resource intensive and traditional infrastructure management architectures have developed over time on a project by project basis. These traditional management systems consist of multiple tools that require administrators to waste time performing too many steps to handle routine administrative tasks. Operational efficiency and agility in your enterprise are directly linked to the capabilities provided by the management layer across the entire stack, from the application, middleware, operating system, compute, network and storage. Only when this end to end capability is provided will we experience the full benefit of a scalable, efficient, responsive and secure datacenter.
Managing Exalogic is substantially less complex and error prone than managing traditional systems built from individually sourced, multi-vendor components because Exalogic is designed to be administered and maintained as a single, integrated system (Figure 1). It is at the forefront of the industry-wide shift away from costly and inferior one-off platforms toward private clouds and Engineered Systems.
Read the full whitepaper "Evolution from the Traditional Data Center to Exalogic: An Operational Perspective". Full document is available for download at the Exadata Partner Community Collaborative Workspace (for community members only - if you get an error message, please register for the Community first).
Just one week to go! Over 80 participants, sharing of experiences and networking with key Oracle executives.
You can still register here!
Attending the Community Forum you will have a unique opportunity to get Oracle's insight on new solution areas and how the recently launched Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides partners with a complete platform to help to architect private-cloud infrastructures and manage the complete IT stack.
The agenda includes a selected group of partners presenting and sharing their experiences with real-life customer cases. This constitutes a tremendous learning experience for all attendees.
We are sure that the superb atmosphere of the Conrad Hotel in Istanbul will provide a great opportunity to network with other Manageability partners and with Oracle executives.
Also, the Manageability Partner Forum will take place in parallel with the Exadata Partner Forum. You will be able to attend some of the Exadata sessions if you wish.
The 2012 edition of the Manageability Partner Community Forum (Istanbul, March 14-15, 2012) will be run in parallel with the Exadata Partner Community Forum. And this is not by chance but because there are clear areas of common interest between both.
During an Exadata sale and implementation, one of the areas of discussion at the customer -which may have a strong impact during the sales cycle- is around who has responsibility for the Exadata machine. Given that Exadata is a complete system, what should be the roles of the systems staff, the storage guys and the DBAs?
A very interesting reading is the post "Who manages the Exadata machine?", in Arup Nanda's blog. Very worth reading!

A nice backside to a birthday bookend. Not quite as cold or as hot as the night before (National Weather Service and imho) but lots of \mm/ nonetheless.
The downward sandwich is quite tasty, as is the Rec Chem. Set was supposed to end Spine > Buster with a SOMP encore, but time is elusive.
Technical note, started with levels set where I left them, got channel clipping almost at once during Skrunk, had to pop everything down a step and bring the pans back up individually.
Shout-outs to Brad and his new (wife, I think) (Susan, I think); Al and Janis (they left their chairs by us, Janis said she would be back after a bit, her feet were bothering her too much to make it the whole 2 hours on the rail, of course, she stayed Al's side rail the entire night); Cindy, Jim, and Bonnie, too, thanks for saying hi. Special shout out to Troy, who lost his moe. cherry, but never lost his ear-to-ear smile!
Matthew, thanks a bunch, Steve, too, great job.
Have to say a special omfg to/about Jason Huffer. It has been a pleasure both watching his work, as well as watching it evolve and him blossom. I know that he wouldn't have been hired is he wasn't good, and a craftsman, but he is truly an artist, satisfying and delighting our visual palates. Thanks, thanks, and thanks. Email Topper and let him know you agree, I know I am.

SWTOR: Getting Started

SWTOR: Getting Started
Most MMO's that follow the blueprint for quests developed in WOW all share one key concept. Get every quest you can and do them all at once. Often, Quest objectives are in the same area and you will knock out two or more at the same time in the same place.
If you're an MMO pro, this isn't the guide you are looking for. Move along.
For players that are new to the system, it can get confusing until you get used to it. If you are really new to MMO's and games in general (Like some of my friends) it can slow you down. Below I outline an alternate method to for SWTOR. Bear in mind,
this method is only viable until ~level 8.
past that you will start to fall behind the curve and could end up under-leveled. If you try to do it past level 12 you're really going to be in trouble.
But, if you stick to this for the first 8 levels, in as little as two hours of play time you'll have your first companion and all your crew skills It will give you a tiny head start in the land of crafting. This is not designed to be the "pro-guide" nor am I saying you are "doing it wrong" if you don't follow my words to the letter.
Also, by "Two Hours" I mean the time spent actively gaining experience, and progressing the main story. There is a lot to explore and if you just rush through what I have outlined below you could miss it.
Before we actually get started, a note on aesthetics.
Unlike any MMO I've played before (WoW, WAR, EVE, Everquest, FFXI) you spend a lot of time looking at your character's face, and not the back of their head from fifteen feet up. And by face I mean up close, while he or she is talking. So much time that you begin to see flaws in the face you picked to represent yourself in game.
Whether or not appearance matters to you, it would behoove you, as you make your character, to take the time to design a character you like looking at. This step isn't going to gain you any XP, but it will save you from staring at a mug you "randomized" to get into game quickly. Playing a Trooper or Bounty Hunter? Doesn't matter. In most story line cinematics your helmet is removed.
Again, this is all up to you but the last thing you want is to realize at level 32 is that you loathe the way you look.
A quick guide to the fleet and back, all before level 10
The goal of this guide is to quickly get your first companion unlocked and get your crafting skills going. To this end we want to focus on these two things. Once you have these under your belt, you should have a better understanding for how the quests go, plus an NPC at your side if you need the help early. Now the standard method of get every quest you see becomes easier to cope with.
After your first cinematic, you will notice you have one quest in your log. For now, lets keep it that way. For now, ignore all those other triangles that promise excitement and adventure. You'll come back to them, I promise! As you focus on the story, you should unlock your companion at around level 5.
This does depend on what class you choose. The Jedi Knight gets his droid pretty quick. The Sith Warrior also gets Vette pretty early. The Trooper class doesn't pick up a side kick until just before they lift off planet. Regardless of what you play, the missions are quick and before you know it you'll be level 7 and on your way to the "The Fleet."
When you get to the Fleet station for your faction, open your map and look for the Crew Skill Venders. When you find them, all you have to do is right click on them and you'll learn the skill they teach. But don't stop at three!
Talk to each and every one of them.
Even if they are crew skills you don't intend on getting! Each time you talk to one it's 875XP. In almost every case I got level 8 just talking to these guys.
Once you have chatted up every crew skill vendor, take the time to sort out which you want. If you don't want a crew skill, there is an "Unlearn" button in the Crew Skills page. Once you are sorted out on Crew Skills,
head back to your starting planet
and grab all those quests you passed up. At level 8 you are still in the prime range for what the quests were designed for, and you'll have a companion at your side!
You can send your companion on missions to advance your crew skills, or keep them with you if you run into a tough quest. Now that you're more familiar with the quests, having several queued up won't be as overwhelming and you'll quickly move through them.
The main story line quests are what unlock your companions and your ship. So if you're around level 15 and you haven't got a set of keys to a new ride in your pocket, look for you main story and focus it down until you do.
It may be tempting, at level 12, to push on and try to get the ship early but this is a time to "complete your training" before you rush off to be a hero. Show up to that party at level 11 or 12 and expect to end up missing a hand, hanging upside down from a floating city, and praying for someone to come save your ass.
You don't really
your ship until you are past level 20 but it's fun to have. With that in mind, keep focused on getting all your quests. Being ahead on levels is much better than being behind.
This was re-written because, when I looked at it after the first page of comments showed up I see that I didn't make things very clear. I hope that this clears up the confusion and concerns brought up. And please keep in mind this is only a suggestion.
I'll see you online, and may the Force be with you!

FOR PARISH HALL BOOKINGS contact: Mrs J Farmer, Market Bosworth Benefice Administrator, Parish Hall, Market Bosworth. Tel: 01455 817255 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. The Parish Council is not responsible for the Parish Hall, which actually belongs to St Peter's Parish Church.The Parish Council therefore cannot help with hall bookings.
Market Bosworth is a small, attractive and historically interesting town with a population of just over 2,000. The town centre is a conservation area with many old buildings surrounding the Market Place. There are a number of shops, pubs and restaurants, three churches and three schools. It is not far from the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre at Sutton Cheney. Upton, the village recently revealed to be the site of the famous Battle of Bosworth, fought in 1485, is also nearby. Within walking distance of the town centre are the Bosworth Water Park and The Country Park, as well as the Ashby Canal. A short drive to Shackerstone takes the visitor to the Shackerstone Steam Railway Line with a regular service between Shackerstone and Shenton. It is possible to alight at Shenton to visit the Battlefield Heritage Centre.
within 3 miles of Market Bosworth
MARKET BOSWORTH COUNTRY PARK is sited to the east of the town and is comprised of over eighty acres of parkland. There is an adventure playground, a lake, an arboretum, a wildlife pond and a network of footpaths giving access to surrounding villages. The Park is open all day and there is a parking fee.
The right to hold a MARKET in Market Bosworth goes back to the seventeenth century when a Charter was granted. Today the Market operates every Wednesday with a variety of stalls selling fruit, vegetables, clothing, fish, fabric, plants and other items. On the fourth Sunday of every month there is also a Farmers' Market.
The site of the BATTLE OF BOSWORTH in 1485 is just a few miles south of Market Bosworth at Upton. This is where Richard III was killed and lost the crown and Henry VII became king. A Visitor Centre at Sutton Cheney - the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre - explains details of events that occurred on 22 August 1485. A pleasant walk from the centre leads to Shenton Station enabling the visitor to also enjoy a ride on the Shackerstone Steam Railway.
THE BOSWORTH WATER TRUST is sited to the west of Market Bosworth and is within walking distance of the town centre. There is a twenty acre lake for sailing and fishing and there are camping facilities within the park.
The Battlefield Line Railway, owned and operated by the Shackerstone Railway Society, runs heritage trains from Shackerstone, Market Bosworth and Shenton Stations. Market Bosworth Station was reopened in 2011 and is about 15 minute walk from the centre of the town. From Shackerstone to Shenton is a journey of about five miles through pleasant countryside. A visit to the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre can be incorporated in to this journey at Shenton Station. Information can be found at www.battlefieldline.co.uk or by calling 01827 880754.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Yet another firm is tapping Isis for its antisense technology. In the latest deal, AstraZeneca formed an alliance with the firm for the discovery and development of novel generation antisense therapeutics against five cancer targets. The agreement includes a license to develop and commercialize ISIS-STAT3Rx, a drug Isis is currently evaluating in an early clinical trial in patients with advanced lymphomas.
This alliance aims to apply AstraZeneca's experience in developing personalized medicines to enhance the drug discovery and development process for four research programs in the oncology area and to aid in the development of ISIS-STAT3Rx for patient populations that could benefit the most from inhibition of STAT3, a protein that drives cancer growth.
Several other firms are interested in Isis' antisense technology. Just yesterday, the firm reported receiving $30 million from Biogen Idec in a deal to discover and develop antisense drugs against three undisclosed targets to treat neurological or neuromuscular disorders. Last month, Pfizer paid Isis $1.25 million in a scar treatment deal. The payment was triggered when Pfizer decided to advance EXC 001, an antisense oligonucleotide designed to interrupt the process of fibrosis by inhibiting expression of connective tissue growth factor, into a Phase II study. In addition, Isis has ongoing collaborations with Genzyme, Alnylam, and GlaxoSmithKline. Isis' modus operandi is to discover and conduct early development of new drugs and then outlicense those drugs to partners with late-stage development, commercialization, and marketing expertise.
Antisense therapies target the proteins involved in disease processes by destroying the RNA that is involved in creating these proteins. The Isis discovery platform develops specific therapies that bind to messenger RNA and inhibit the production of disease-causing proteins.

I'm using

rsync is connecting correctly. The code that's working is

I'm wondering if there is a way to get
rsync to use its

--log-file="path/on/remote/computer"), it seems to be looking for the path on my local system. I even tried
--log-file=ssh_username@ssh_ip_address:path/on/remote/system, but it didn't work.
Is this possible, or do I need to make a log-file on the local system and then

If the idea of a vegetable garden in the backyard is overwhelming, or more of a time commitment than you can manage, think smaller. Growing vegetables in containers will not make you self-sufficient, but you may be surprised to learn how many vegetables can be grown in very small spaces. It's the perfect solution for anyone who enjoys home-grown vegetables, but doesn't have space or time for a traditional garden.
Garden centers have a large array of vegetable plants in the spring and fall. Root vegetables such as beets and carrots are best started from seed. Seed packets are usually available all year for vegetables, like root crops, that don't like to be transplanted. Carrots and beets are perfect for small spaces.
"Carrots and beets … yuck!" is often the reaction to these great tasting and nutritious veggies. Just wait until you taste beets and carrots you have grown! Think about the taste difference between a summer homegrown tomato and a tasteless winter grocery store tomato. No comparison, right? The same is true with beets and carrots.
Beets (Beta vulgaris) and carrots (Daucus catrota) have an earthy sweetness and rich color. Even the young tops are tasty additions to a mixed salad. These are two of the easiest vegetables to grow, and they are ready for harvesting in 50 to 60 days.
Seeds can be sown in a large container on the patio or directly into the soil in flower beds in early spring or mid-summer for fall harvest. Sow the seed sparsely to give the root space to grow. If seedlings are too thick, enjoy the "thinnings" as micro-greens in salads.
Still not sold on beets and carrots: Try roasting them. Place unpeeled beets (tops removed to about 1 inch) in a piece of aluminum foil large enough to make an envelope around the beets. Place foil packet on a cookie sheet and roast at 350 degrees for about an hour, depending on the size of the beets. A knife should pass easily through the beet. Remove from oven and allow the beets to cool. The skin of the beets will slip off easily, leaving a beautiful ruby-red globe.
Roasted carrots are even easier. Wash young carrots, remove the tops, spread on a cookie sheet and add a little olive oil plus salt and pepper. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes or until the tip of a knife pierces the carrot easily. Allow to cool and enjoy. No peeling needed.
Add the roasted vegetables to salads or serve as a side dish by simply adding salt, pepper and a dash of lemon. Delicious!

Tourist photographs crocodile in Gold Coast canal
- From: The Courier-Mail
- January 21, 2010
NEW Zealamd tourists visiting the Gold Coast say they saw a crocodile in a canal - and they have pictures to back their claim.
Goldcoast.com.au reports that the tourists spotted what they believed to be a saltwater crocodile hunting ducks in the Hope Island canal on Sunday.
Crocodiles are generally accepted not to live much further south than the Boyne River near Gladstone, although last year there were sightings at Hervey Bay and Fraser Island.

Fishing was the last thing on kayaker Paul Hannah's mind when
he realised he was accompanied by a pod of bottlenose
dolphins in Otago Harbour yesterday morning.
The pod of about 50 to 60 dolphins appeared to be hunting for
salmon and spent the day milling about the harbour travelling
from the wharves to the Andersons Bay causeway, University of
Otago graduate student Tom Brough said.
He had just completed surveying the bottlenose dolphins
around Stewart Island last week and had identified four seen
there in the pod in Otago Harbour.
''They've done about 150 miles [241km] in just over a week."
Researchers could identify the dolphins by their dorsal fins
and had done what was thought to be the first scientific
photographic survey of those in Otago Harbour for future
reference. Most scientific research on the dolphins had been
done on the resident Fiordland populations in Dusky and
Doubtful Sounds.
Mr Hannah said it was the first time in 12 years of kayaking
around the harbour and coast he had seen dolphins, so he gave
up on the idea of fishing.
''It was very exciting to see them up close. I was amazed at
the size of them."
It gave him pause when a dolphin breached beside him but they
seemed more interested in feeding, he said.
''It was pretty lucky,'' he said.
''It certainly made it hard to come back to work."
The University of Otago, Portobello marine centre and the
Department of Conservation all received calls from people who
had seen the dolphins.
Doc marine ranger Jim Fyfe said it was not uncommon for
groups of bottlenose dolphins to visit Otago Harbour in

I haven't read the 31 days book, but Cheney and Rumsfeld were sadly destined to slime their way in regardless. The Reagan supporters disliked Ford. And had Watergate either not happened or had been better handled, and Nixon was still president until 1976, Cheney and Rumsfeld could have easily been appointed positions by then, anyway.
You can hate on Ford if you want, Paul. Go crazy. But just sayin'.
Also, Ford snubbed George Bush I for vice president. Greater point here: the weasels had plenty of holes to choose from.
I understand that they would've crawled up, regardless. But--I really do recommend 31 Days in re: Ford's dislike of Bush Sr.--I think that a different scenario wouldn't have been as fortuitous for them. The timing was perfect: nobody was paying attention. I will continue to hate on Ford, anyway, as Ford-hating seems to be the only sport that will inspire me to drag my weary carcass into 2007. Hate keeps me warm. Boo, Ford!
I wonder if he will reincarnate in Mary Cheney's womb.
"I'm Mary Cheney's baby, and you're not!"
As a professional historian, I believe it was The Landslide of 1972 that shoveled Cheney, Rumsfeld and their ilk into power. Ford, at his best and worst, was a modest man and an effective puppet -- "I never wanted to be more than Speaker of the House," he often said (before running for, cough, re-election).
It's a sad tradition, isn't it?
Each incoming President must pardon all the criminals who run our government.
Ford pardoned Nixon and Co.
Bush I pardoned everyone who ever shook hands with Reagan.
Clinton pardoned his campaign supporters.
You can bet that Bush II will have a pardon list that stretches from here to New Jersey.
The common theme here is that no one will ever be held accountable for their crimes, and each successive administration is even more corrupt and incompetent. How are we ever going to get out of this hot mess?
Well, at least we'll be able to go to Grand Rapids, Michigan to Ford's presidential library, and dance upon his grave; he asked to be buried in the library courtyard.
Original Andrew - didn't you hear?
We have a Democratic Majority now. There is no corruption. They are going to make everything work better, faster and stronger.
Will the lock step Democrat fanatics keep their blinders on for the next year, or will they get on the asses of their majority members and make them do something?
In one year from now, any criticism that has bubbled up against the Dems lack of integrity
(and or action) will be quashed by the rise of the Democratic fanatics that will once again be saying:
"Now is not the time to criticize. We must unite for victory behind Clinton/Obama/Edwards. No discouraging words!!"
Patrick C,
Wow, that was a little bitter. I'll reserve judgment until I see what happens this spring with the Dem super majorities here in Washington State.
If they totally wuss-out and act like the pathetic DLC Democrats instead of enacting a progressive agenda, then I'll be screaming for their heads. I'd like to see them reform our tax, education, healthcare and transportation funding systems, plus enact marriage equality or civil unions. That's a lot to cover, but it would be awesome to see strong leadership on those issues.
If not now, when?
Is that all you guys do is read the Seattle Times and PI and go over and over how they wrote it. You all must have a subsrciption or something over there.
The first time I heard this news was going online and Bam right there was everyhting about Mr. Ford and his legacy. And Link after Link on top of that with pictures black and white and in color. Seattle Times big deal this was news before it hit both yopur papers online and offline. And there is more about the guy than he was some fucktard in office who just happened to live along time. Boring. Even Hunter S. Thompson gave more intake on the guy with his own spin(and wierd, but original at that).
So come on. Where is the Strangers guts in mincing c of Mr.Ford and his legacy and death in their own words(back it with facts, not opinions) of this guy. oh yeah , I forgot, The Strangers the only Paper in town with writers quoting other writers from other newspapers. At least you did't fail Citation APA OR MDL requirement in college writing. No plagiarism here good for you..... but on Mr. Ford do you have anything original than going after the Times and PI and their coverage? Can you critisize that Mr.Ford without refering to what some other guy said about him in an article?
My first and only annoyance with the Stranger. other than that you guys rock. vote slog
Bitter? Yes. I am not only a member of the Bitterness Society, I am the President.
It is the result of watching the same thing happen over and over and over again, Original Andrew.
The motivation is always to elect Democrats - never to actually expect them to do anything once in office.
We enable them and they take advantage of us.
There is no difference between the left wing Democrat cheerleaders and the right wing Republican fanatics is. They are both too gullable to know they are being had.
sorry bout that type. My wireless keyboard is acting up. Anyway Paul good refrences to 31 days read it and Boring....
Also Mr. ford got chu the Justice department guy Stevens and lets see other Liberal accomplishments... Some civil rights liberties, allowing a Partial birth abortion to pass(as MSN said in parentheses next to that one(illfuted). I could go on and on by posting a link to those facts or a refrence but with all those facts mixed with opinions out there where do I start. Oh yeah how about Wikipedia.
And then finish it off with Hunter S. Thompson take on the whole thing.
If I'm right didn't even he forgive Nixon.
I believe this is the third time you've used the word "treacle" to comment on the stories on Gerald Ford. Not that I'm by any means some sycophantic Republican who has anything to say about this president at all, but like, seriously... what did you really expect? That they're going to criticize two-and-a-half years of forgettable domestic policies and do-nothingisms? Writing your own obituary is hard enough.

Mod (idea)
Well before you jump on me for this, I know that the likely-hood of someone trying this are low. I'm putting this here just in case someone on the site might offer suggestions for it, and/or if anyone would like to do this or help with this, also so i don't forget it just in case i want to do it later (since I'm wanting to work on a Kotor 2 mod first that's huge). Anyways now that that's over here it is:
The idea is to corrects something that bothers me; there are only two sides in the galactic conquest mode. When thinking about it, Conquest should not be over just be over one group, there should be several, here are my 'faction' ideas (if possible):
*the tusken raiders (with enslaved jawa's, might be able to use the hunt jawas and sand people for this, and the jawas from tatooine who just go around repairing)
* The wookies and ewoks, On endor and kysyyk, I think for hunt there are two units of Ewoks and for normal play the clones or the rebels get a unit of wookies to help them.
*the hutt's could have units to be made up to look like either gommoreans, those palace guard guys, and bounty hunters.
*Droid insurgents (For the civil war only) would be around probably since people would see that they were an effective weapon against the empire at one point.
Ok so the faction ideas may expand and become more organized with later edits. anyways, I also have map ideas that would add to this galactic conquest (if possible):
*Alderaan for the clone wars, a map similar to the naboo one, with several edits.
*A couple of asteroid maps similar to polis masa since that level seemed to have potential for a land space battle mix (Maybe if possible port over parts of paragus from kotor 2 since that could make an awesome battle site)
*A dantooine level
*A Korriban level
*An Onderon level with maybe a map of Dxun as well
*A nal hutta, Nar shadaa level/map for the hutts secondary world
Not all or any of those would need to be made, but might add to the battle field so to speak, Now for questions:
1) Is there a way to make the battles bigger than just 16 people, like can you make it 50 people with reinforcements of 450? Is there a way to increase the points for space battles?
2) Is there a way to make it so space battle treat the two command points (one on each ship) as Command centers that can be captured
3) Can ai control heroes and is there a way to make more than one hero in a battle at once (I.E. Have Han Solo, Chewie, and Luke for the rebels, and have Darth Vader, the Emperor, and Boba Fett for the imperials)?
4) Is there a way to make several more heroes?
Any advice, suggestions, comments, feedback and otherwise helpful remarks would be nice, I want this to be fleshed out before anything happens with it, it seems like it would be bigger than the one i want to make for Kotor which will take me years to compllete anyways
1) Is there a way to make the battles bigger than just 16 people, like can you make it 50 people with reinforcements of 450? Is there a way to increase the points for space battles?
2) Is there a way to make it so space battle treat the two command points (one on each ship) as Command centers that can be captured
3) Can ai control heroes and is there a way to make more than one hero in a battle at once (I.E. Have Han Solo, Chewie, and Luke for the rebels, and have Darth Vader, the Emperor, and Boba Fett for the imperials)?
4) Is there a way to make several more heroes?
Not sure what your asking but if you want more heroes yes it's possible, and quite a few have already been made. Check out this site http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/
You need to download the Battlefront II mod tools and then make the changes.
If you don't know how to use the mod tools give me a list of what you want and I'll attempt to do it.
Ok I'll do this sometime before the end of the year, i need to get my computer working first, he's getting old. Hopefully i'll have something by end of october
So I Can't figure out how to do any of this, but don't think i'd be able to get help here, since most of the people here don't respond or talk, that being said, Where can I download all the tools again for Star Wars BF, I got a new computer because the old on died and can't find a site that offers them any more
I am not someone who does mods. I'm old and slow, so it frustrates me. BUt don't assume everyone else feels your burning need to do this right this minute. Some will get just as frustrated with your attitude, as you are with their lack of replies.
fine I won't try and get any discussion for this forum so its not as dead, I think this ideas dead too so bye
No need to go away sore though. You learn from stuff like this.
Good fortune to you in getting your mod.
I don't really care for this part of the forum anyways, since early summer I've tried to evoke discussion on a few mod ideas so that i could test the waters on who i liked and stuff. after i was done with that, i was going to see if this was a game with a community i wanted to mod for. With people not talking whatsoever in the game community other than you, me, maltron and Machiaveilli (to tell me people get just as frustrated with my impatience as i do with their silence.) I mean, a community is all I want to have here, to help support younger modders on their way to being full pledged modders. But with no one to help younger moder here and a silent modding community here, this place isn't worth it. I think I'll just stay on the kotor side
Yeah, back in like 2005 or so I had wanted to know about modding my own for SWBF1 but got very little direct, helpful advice. At the time anyways, while it was still pretty big (most gamers switched to SWBF2, although the forums were ablaze with harsh critiques about the sequel... There were lots of complaints about SWBF2, yet most everyone stayed playing it.), it seemed like modding was held as some Big Holy Secret, and only the "Chosen Ones" could mod, and didn't give-up their "trade secrets" lightly... It sort of seemed a bit like a silly little teenie-bopper clique, really; so iI'm not too surprised to see no help for you towards modding NOWADAYS, when the game is played by (probably) less than 100 people worldwide.
Anyways, back then, I had began what was to be a re-dawning of the glory that is the original SWBF1... The New Renaissance of SWBF1... I hosted games online that were ALL exclusively mods, and I made my server name my website (freewebs.com/weBF), so people could see what maps I was hosting and DL them to install and join in online battles on some of the best maps created with some awesome other stuff thrown in... Few joined, and momentum was slow, but word was starting to catch on amongst other communities (some of the larger clan forums, etc)... But before it truly ignited, I had fallen hard into Battlefield 2142, and all the effort and energy I was investing in the New Renaissance didn't result in the pay-out I had originally striven for... It was a New Renaissance in the making, but it never took flight before I left it alone on the battlefield.
But, now with Tunngle, apparently we can still play online, though I haven't yet... Since 2006 or so.
Anyhow, IDK what to say about the silence regarding modding. There are mod-tools available I believe, at the FileFront website given above, though I know not how to use them. As for "community", IDK what to say... I never come here, and am only here because I'm curious to play again online... With the maps and mods of the New Renaissance, and a few great "new" ones I've seen on Filefront! ("New" meaning post-2006)
Good Fortune to you with KotOR, learning to mod, and all things.
