Need caps for newborn Haitian babies
I am seeking volunteers to help make 2,000 baby caps for a group of pregnant women in Haiti. These women are presently living in a tent community and are in need of supplies for their yet-to-be-born babies. My church, First Baptist of Lincoln Gardens, has committed to help them. The caps are being donated along with other supplies. At this time we just need enough knitters and crocheters to make the caps.
If this is of interest and you want to help, please contact me. We have a deadline of May 23 for receipt of the caps. Following are the guidelines: 1) use baby weight yarn; 2) make newborn size; 3) feel free to make some caps in the colors of the Haiti flag: red and blue.
Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you.
I would love to consider about this charity. Currently I am thinking about what charity to look forward to, but I think I might like this group. Thx for posting it!

Is this still an ongoing project??

GSM based Industrial Automation
Project Cost : 10,000
Dispatched in: 3 Days
Project Code: 1659
Project Photographs:
You will get a CD with this project:
CD contains following things:
- Project Report in pdf format and in doc (word) format
- Circuit diagram
- PCB layout
- Microcontroller program in assembley language
- Hex file of the microcontroller code
- Datasheets of all the components / ICs used in the project
Now days, marketing demands are increasing continuously. If you can't satisfy demand then you will knock out of the race. There is no time limit for work. So in modern industry, it needs to give alignment without going on field. Our project satisfies this need by using a GSM modem by making use of SMS technology.
Consider one case, that you are field engineer, company will start at 9 o'clock. But you have to turn on boiler at 7 o'clock to start working at 9 o'clock. In this case you have to go at 7 o'clock. But by using this project you can start boiler by just sending SMS command from your mobile. Boiler is just example you can turn on or turn off any controlling device. Now consider another case, you need to monitor few parameters in the industry, say Humidity in a paint shop machine or a critical thing like LPG gas leakage, then you need to be present in the industry/plant. The second part of our project meets this requirement, it monitors the parameters on the LCD and at the same time sends a SMS when these parameters cross threshold limit.
For controlling the relays, you have to send sms to the GSM modem which you have set on field. GSM modem is connected to the Project. This GSM modem will receive your SMS. Then particular relay is turned on/off by reading the sms.
Block Diagram:
Description in detail:
It mainly consist of following blocks:
1) Microcontroller
2) Humitidy or LPG Gas Sensor
3) Temperature sensor
4) GSM Modem (sim900 unit)
5) LCD Display
6) Buzzer that beeps for critical conditions
Applications and Advantages:
1. Industrial automation.
2. Can also be used for security purpose after modification.
3. In places where control of action has not any time limit.
1. No need to go on field.
2. Higher reliability.
3. Cost effective.
4. Fast and efficient
Future Development:
1. We can monitor and control more parameters and devices.
2. Voice announcement system can be added to indicate device conditions.
Video of the project: GSM based Industrial Automation
Youtube video coming soon
Question and answers about this project:
Question: Which type of GSM Modem you have used? Can we use Mobile instead of GSM modem?
Answer: We have used SIMCOM300 GSM modem. No, we can not replace GSM modem by Mobile in this project.
Question : What method of communication is being used in this project. Is it by SMS or by phone call? Because i am interested in buying one that using SMS based communication.
Answer : This project used SMS communication method. For DTMF based communication, visit this page: www.projectsof8051.com/projects/36-industrial-automation-using-cellphone.html

More airplane for less money. That has been the core of Embraer's value proposition since it entered the corporate jet fray in 1999, and it has resonated with the market.

Rather than downplay the HondaJet's unconventional look, with its over-the-wing engine mount (OTWEM), the manufacturer has chosen to embrace it. The new ad campaign features a series of clever images that suggest the frontal shape of the developmental jet, with appropriately positive connotations. Knowing the history of the HondaJet's development, I love it.
September 1, 2014
The airspace between traditional business jet access models (charter, fractional ownership and jet cards) and first-class airline travel has been active lately, even if there's not much to show for it. But while some would-be per-seat charter providers and fledgling "flight club" programs appear to be in a holding pattern, one alternative operator in California has quickly taken off: Surf Air, which offers more than a dozen scheduled daily flights between off-the-hub airports in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Notable Fractional Programs
August 14, 2014
Global deliveries of turbine business airplanes increased 7.2 percent in this year's first quarter over the first quarter of 2013, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. The jump in deliveries will most likely mean a boost to business at centers that perform aircraft completions and refurbishments and companies that provide interior components.

Jet card options
August 5, 2014
New-jet programs come in two flavors: completely clean-sheet-of-paper designs and updates of existing models. This article deals strictly with the former. The category is well populated, but mostly with midsize and super-midsize jets—a reflection of continuing softness in the entry-level sector and the rarefication of the large-jet and bizliner field. Bombardier, Cessna and Embraer all have models under development in what can be called the greater middle market, the most attractive category for fractional programs and other fleet customers. The large-jet business is seeing some action, although less of it: new projects are under way at Bombardier and Dassault and the rumor mill is running full tilt regarding Gulfstream programs building on the larger-cabin cross-section introduced by the G650.

We call these qualities the three As: ability, affability, and availability. Because it's difficult for us to assess the ability or affability of a doctor we've never met, most of us choose our physicians by availability.
Second Opinions Whenever you receive a diagnosis that requires a major medical intervention, such as surgery or chemotherapy, or you question a doctor's findings or explanation, you need a second opinion. A second opinion is just that—asking another doctor to evaluate your condition, consider your particular situation, and provide his or her recommendation as to the best course of treatment for you.
You should ask for a second opinion if you believe a critical diagnosis has not been well explained or if your condition could be handled by more than one type of specialist or subspecialist. For example, certain heart conditions may be treated by a cardiovascular surgeon or a cardiologist, or localized prostate cancer may be managed by either a radiation oncologist with radiation therapy or by a urologist with surgery.
Don't be embarrassed—you're not going behind your doctor's back by asking someone else's thoughts. It's prudent and a smart thing to do. Certainly, the availability of your physicians is important. None of us wants to travel three hours to the nearest city, wait weeks or months for an appointment, or sit in the doctor's waiting room for hours. But availability takes a back seat to ability in certain circumstances.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades as long as APKT is trending above its 50-day at $17.12 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 2,638,970 shares as bullish. If APKT can hold this breakout, then this stock has a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $22.41 to $25. On the flip side, I would avoid this stock or look for short-biased trades if APKT fails to hold this breakout, and then drops back below some major near-term support at $16.30. Prev 1 of 4 Next

I don't want to boot them. I just wouldn't miss them. Sort of like Providence. Or DePaul.
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
It really makes me wish that the Big Ten was pursuing Louisville.
Many people the last time thought that Cincy was a bone to make Louisville happier and we see how that worked out.
I read where the PAC10 is looking to expand to 12 teams as well so there will likely be a huge shake-up this off-season and now apparently even Notre Dame is "concerned" about their ability to maintain independent status in football. Clearly, this is likely to hurt the Big East under most scenarios but here is what I see as the options going forward ranked in order of what I'd prefer not likelihood:
1) Notre Dame sees the writing on the wall, misses out on Big Ten expansion and joins the Big East as a full member contingent on an improved ESPN deal. Villanova moves up to 1A to give the Big East 10 football members. Basketball conference stays the same.
2) Notre Dame joins Big Ten and Big East replaces them with East Carolina and then adds Villanova to football. Not ideal, but football improves and basketball is largely unchanged.
3) Most likely, Pitt joins Big Ten and Big East replaces them with ECU and adds Villanova. Football is hurt (we'd probably lose BCS status at the next negotiation) and basketball is marginally worse. This could apply for Rutgers or Syracuse leaving as well.
4) What I'm most worried about, Pitt joins Big Ten and in the attempt to replace them the conference splits and reforms with ten full member schools. Basketball is much weaker and football would likely lose BCS affiliation.
Seems like ND is getting a bit worried about missing out on money.
How can Notre Dame not try to join the Big-Ten? They're not a "draw" anymore, and will never get another TV contract that's half-way decent from anyone. (unless it's EWTN, the Catholic Channel, but they don't have any money).
The teams that I would think would be the best schools for entering the Pac-10 would be Fresno State and Boise State. Those two teams would help the Pac-10 the most, I think. Fresno State's baseball program is also excellent, while Boise State has an excellent wrestling program and I could see them improving on a basketball program (though it might not take much improvement to compete in the Pac-10. ).
I wonder what schools are being considered?
The whole TV contract is a bit overstated in today's market anyway. Notre Dame would likely get more from its share of the Big 10 network revenues than they get from its current contract.
Also, the Big 10 brings up Rutgers as a way of getting into the NY market, but quite honestly Notre Dame would probably create more demand in the big apple than the State University of New Jersey.
When people say that I dont know what Im talking about when it comes to sports or writing, I think: Man, you should see me in the rest of my life.
---Joe Posnanski
NBC is still happy with their ND deal...for now.
The "outside looking in" bunch appears to be Cincy, UofL and USF -- as they're consistently the names that are conspicuously absent when expansion is discussed by the other conferences. That's *really* bad news -- losing access to an AQ-conference would be a deathblow to all three programs, especially UC and USF. If I'm the Administration for these three schools, I'm actively out there advocating for the Big East to split apart and add schools to the football side before the B10 gets their act together.
This whole discussion should have UC fans extremely nervous -- it wouldn't take a whole lot to happen for UC to be playing football in a conference on roughly the same footing (in both quality and financial benefit) as the MAC or C-USA.
Cincinnati Here We Go.

Learn to lash in pictures.
Our civilization was built on a technology so advanced we still don't know everything it's good for. But somewhere along the way, most of us seem to have forgotten lashing: how to tie these things together.
Yet, if you can tie things together securely, you can make almost anything from practically nothing.
OK, get your sticks and line and we'll tie our first lashing. Relax - this takes a little bit of practice, so expect to start over a couple of times.
It's critical that the lashing is tight. So, if one gets loose, you can whittle a little wedge and pound it under the line to tighten it.
It's not exactly lashing, but when you need real compression, a few long loops around a pair of poles and a short stick make for a highly effective turnbuckle.
If you're going to build something big and complicated, you'll want to make some sketches to help you work out the details.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we look at an interesting issue of Incredible Hulk (#388) where Peter David and Dale Keown where the return of Hulk's former sidekick, Jim Wilson, is overshadowed by some news that Wilson has…
First off, this issue introduces a new villain known as Speedfreek (I believe he was one of the villains killed in the explosion in Civil War #1. Am I remembering that correctly? Or maybe his sister or something?), and David and Keown establish the character in a very cool opening…
Man, Keown did such a good job on this title. And what you see here is not even the best that he would get – in the #390s, his art and storytelling skills got even BETTER!
In any event, Rick Jones and the Hulk (who hasn't shown up yet but will follow later) visit Los Angeles where Hulk's former sidekick, Jim Wilson, is working at an AIDS hospice which has come under fire from some bad guys. So Rick and the Hulk are showing up for protection (while Rick will also do a charity show with his band). Jim drops a bombshell…
As Jim fills them in on why he needs protection, David does a nice little continuity nod, similar to the one I mentioned that John Byrne did in Fantastic Four #258 – David makes reference to another Marvel hero, the Falcon, in such a way that really makes the Marvel Universe seem like a cohesive universe withOUT going overboard and making it so that, like, you needed to know Falcon's history, etc. It's very well done by David (as is the stuff with Rick and Jim discussing Jim's HIV status)…
Speedfreek shows up during Rick's performance and David/Keown come up with a great little bit here (by the way, Speedfreek is, indeed, a drug addict, hence his odd – even for a supervillain – behaviour)…
Naturally, the Hulk shows up to save the day, and there's a nice Hulk/Speedfreek fight (I REALLY loved a bit that David came up with that uses Hulk's healing powers – Speedreek shoots barbs into the Hulk's legs, and Hulk's healing abilities heal his skin AROUND the barbs, so he has to dig the barbs out and RE-injure his leg – it's a good scene).
Anyhow, during the fight, Jim gets stabbed – Rick's reaction is well handled by David…
Of course, I can't help but mention the bit at the end of the issue where we learn that, also due to his healing powers, the Hulk doesn't have to worry about HIV. I didn't really mind it, as a plot point, but I can see how it might take some people out of the scene a bit.
Still, this was a great mix of action, humor, great artwork and interesting drama while working in a topical storyline that, for a 1991 comic book, was handled with a great deal of intelligence and respect. Well done all around!
liked the issue espically rick even though he does not act like it being scared of jim having hiv espically when he refuses to go and help jim stop the bleeding from his wounds right away. plus love how the falcon gets talked about as if the marvel universe really is one diverse one.
"That was a '58 Strat."
That looked nothing like a Fender Stratocaster. If Rick had said "that was a vintage guitar" it would have been no big deal, but the Strat has one of the most recognizable silhouettes of any electric guitar. Even if we are exaggerating the appearance, much as the physical characteristics of the characters are exaggerated; all the wrong characteristics are emphasized.
just to clarify my last comment. ment to say loved how David had rick seem to be buying into the old aids sterotypes and be almost in denial that Jim is hiv positive including how he reacts when him is hurt from speed freak. being afraid of touching jim by running away to try and find some one else. showing the rick might
Ok. It is a little scary that Peter David's HULK has dialog that sounds so dated.
Still, these were some great comics. David & Keown were a fantastic team. They matched each others tone extremely well.
I haven't read these issues. Did Peter David ever reveal how Jim Wilson contracted HIV?
Was a little surprised that you spotlighted this issue, and not the one that came after it.
David didn't reveal it. In fact, he had one character ask how, and the Hulk reply, "does it matter?"
This comic blew me away when I was 14. If we must have "relevant" super-hero comics, they should be like this one, intelligent and balanced by action.

The Cartoon Heart of Africa
A New Book Examines Everyday Life in the Ivory Coast
COMICS | 'Aya of Yop City'
The graphic novel "Aya of Yop City" aims to show a new side of Africa. Marguerite Abouet, who wrote the book with her husband, illustrator Clément Oubrerie, says she "didn't want to write about war, famine and AIDS. We know these things happen." Instead, she writes about Aya, a young woman living in the Ivory Coast dealing with problems like a friend's unexpected pregnancy or awkward suitors. Set in the late 1970s, when exports of coffee and cocoa fueled a short-lived economic boom in the African nation, the drawings tell tales of ordinary life in Yopougon, a suburb in Abidjan, the country's capital.
Ms. Abouet, 37, grew up in the Ivory Coast, but now lives in Romainville, a suburb just outside of Paris. Trips back to her native country helped inspire her to write the comic. "I go there and young people there have the same problems as young people everywhere," she says. "So I wanted to show an urban Africa, and apparently this works, because people pay attention to these stories."
The first volume of the series, "Aya," was published in the U.S. in 2007 by Drawn and Quarterly, a Canadian publisher that distributes many prominent graphic novelists in the U.S., like Chris Ware and cartoonist/war-reporter Joe Sacco. Ten thousand copies have been printed, a significant number for a debut graphic novel. The second volume, "Aya of Yop City," is due out in the U.S. this month.
"Aya" comics have sold more than 200,000 copies in France, where four volumes of the series have been published. Marc Szyjowicz, the owner of BDNet, a busy graphic novel shop near the Bastille in Paris, says the comics appeal to a wide range of readers, but especially to African immigrants. "There are not many graphic novels on Africa," says Mr. Szyjowicz.
By her own admission, Ms. Abouet can't really draw. She works as a legal assistant near her home, and had always dreamed of writing novels. Instead, now she writes the dialogue and plot for "Aya" and sketches out the page layout for Mr. Oubrerie, who then fully illustrates the comic.
Mr. Oubrerie, 42, had never illustrated graphic novels before "Aya." After quitting college without a degree, the Parisian-born artist moved to New York City to illustrate children's books. On the side, he babysat and worked as a waiter in a French restaurant. He later returned to France.
Ms. Abouet convinced her French publisher, Edition Gallimard, to sell cheap, soft-cover copies of her comic in the Ivory Coast, and the series has developed a following there. While signing books in Africa or in Europe, Ms. Abouet says, "people start giving me advice. They tell me they have this cousin whose story I should talk about next time."

JUST ASKING | Lars Ulrich
The Drummer for Metallica Talks About the Band's Coming Album
Tune In
Listen to clips of songs from Metallica's "Death Magnetic"
Though it started as an underground phenomenon in the 1980s, the heavy metal band Metallica went on to fix its place in mainstream culture with a series of breakout hits. Over the years the group experimented with new musical styles and struggled to stay together -- a process documented in the 2004 film "Some Kind of Monster." For its upcoming album, "Death Magnetic" (to be released next Friday), Metallica has returned to a sound that marked its '80s releases: artillery riffs, breakneck tempos and complex songs within songs. We spoke to drummer Lars Ulrich about the band's sound, online piracy and Fridays. -- John Jurgensen
WSJ: You've been doing this for over 20 years. Is it ever frustrating to be tied to a style that, by definition, has to be blistering and aggressive?
Mr. Ulrich: Certainly it is. But if you look at our career, we've given ourselves carte blanche to go between these extremes, from full symphony orchestras to records inspired by blues-based rock from England.
Traditionally, albums come out in the United States on Tuesdays. You guys chose a Friday. Why?
It seemed like it should come out worldwide on the same date. If we can do anything with the power that this supposed success brings you, then it would be to do something like that. Why have a three or four day gap between Germany and the United States?
The new album is coming out in a variety of formats, from digital downloads to a deluxe box set that costs about $170. Is the band trying to insulate itself from inevitable online piracy?
The file trading not so much. It's more about trying to be on top of all the options. As people discuss this stuff, I get met with the same thing: 'This is what everybody's doing.' You sit there and think, is all this really necessary? At the end of the day, you try and find that middle ground.
From the overall speed and intensity of the new album, it sounds like you guys have something to prove.
As we immersed ourselves, the bar got raised higher and higher. We found ourselves navigating through the neighborhood of the records from the '80s and we found a different level of comfort that we hadn't anticipated. We embraced the stuff. After running away for 20 years, it seemed like it was fine to go back. For a long time we were afraid that if we did, that we would cheapen those records. Finally [producer] Rick Rubin helped us overcome that roadblock.
Most of the songs on the new album clock in at around 8 minutes. Could you perform the whole album live if you had to?
Rick didn't want us to go into the studio until we could play these songs backwards in our sleep. For him, the studio is a place of execution, so it's almost like you're going in to play a live show. These songs were all played in complete takes. It wasn't recorded in pieces and stitched together. It's the first time to my ears where it sounds like the stuff jumps out at you.
One of the defining moments of the digital music age was your public stand against Napster and file sharing, in which Metallica came out looking like the bad guy. What lessons did you learn from that showdown?
That was just a bad dream. The Napster people were smart, spinning it like Metallica was anti fan. That was the smartest thing anyone could have done and the thing we least saw coming. Anyone who knows Metallica knows we've been one of the most fan-friendly and accessible bands. When it all subsided, it was about a principle, a control issue. It was us saying, if the music is going to be given away, the terms would come from us. It's annoying to me that when some people sum up Metallica in five words, Napster is in there. But I can't do anything about that. I'm still proud that we stood up for what we believe in.
The documentary "Some Kind of Monster," showed the band in a very vulnerable light, from fights in the band to getting lost in search of a sound for the last album. How do you think that affected Metallica's image in the longrun?
When we started 25 years ago, the path we went on was to not hide -- no Led Zeppelin intrigue. So, to me, that movie was the biggest chapter in that kind of access. For some fans it was too much, but I was proud of the fact that we let the filmmakers see it through and did not edit it. It was difficult to sit through, but I love a happy ending. The happiest part is that everything you see in the movie doesn't exist anymore: no camera crews, no psychiatrist, no guys in a rock band whining at each other.

HIT LIST | Games
Games With the Wright Stuff
Spore Creator Will Wright on His Favorite Pastimes
The creator of several best-selling computer games, Will Wright hopes to score another coup with Spore, due out Sunday. Following a single organism through its various stages of evolution, Spore gives players the freedom to guide a civilization from its earliest days. The game's publisher, Electronic Arts, released a Creature Creator earlier this summer to allow players to make their own animals from scratch. Those creations are then shared online with all other Spore players and populate the game. Retailing for about $50 and available on both PCs and Macs, the game had been delayed last year and was eagerly awaited by fans of Mr. Wright's previous games, such as The Sims. Mr. Wright talked with The Wall Street Journal about his favorite games.
First played in ancient China, this game pits players against each other to control the gameboard with black and white tiles. Mr. Wright's mother purchased the game for him when he was 7 and he's been a dedicated fan of the game's "simple rules but deep strategies" ever since.
Civilization (1991)
A popular turn-based strategy game that challenges players to build a lasting culture over the ages, Civilization featured the kind of open-ended play favored by Mr. Wright. "It was so broad in terms of the things you could do like building and trading," he says. "It wasn't about blowing things up."
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002)
This violent action videogame helped popularize "sandbox" games where players can freely explore and complete missions at their leisure. While Mr. Wright says the first version of the game was the most innovative, he liked this followup because it featured motorbikes and scooters. "It was a great playground," says Mr. Wright.
Battlefield 1942 (2002)
The first of a long line of war-themed games from Electronic Arts, this game simulated battle conditions from the various theaters of World War II, including the South Pacific and Europe. "It had giant maps and, depending on the context, a jeep could be as useful as an aircraft carrier," he says.
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (2008)
Mr. Wright has followed this military strategy game for Nintendo's DS since the franchise launched in 2001. He says he plays the latest version every morning over breakfast. "I lost my DS for a couple days [this year] and I felt a little bit groggy. It's as much of a wake-up as is my coffee."

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, and certain population groups, such as South Asians, African Americans, and Hispanics, carry a disproportionately larger burden of CVD manifested as coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and hypertension. Persons of these special populations experience approximately two- to threefold greater morbidity and mortality. Prevalence of risk factors, including dyslipidemia, overweight, and diabetes, is not only higher in these groups, but is also rising. The reasons for such disparity appear to be multifactorial and influenced by such factors as lifestyle, diet, culture, genetics, and suboptimal healthcare. Furthermore, because these minority populations are not significantly represented in major clinical trials, evidence-based management strategies for treatment and prevention of CVD are seriously lacking. Lately, however, several randomized trials of therapy for dyslipidemia to reduce cardiovascular events among these ethnic groups have been undertaken. Preliminary data suggest the need for stricter goals and increasingly aggressive therapy for these special populations, including administrative and educational interventions.

I love this style, that's for sure Some of my artwork is definitely more "paint-like" than others, though, but pursuing this texture is something I find immensely enjoyable!
i can tell! its really an interesting texture and i had no idea it was possible with fractals!
This is simply stunning!
good work!
Yeeeahh, painterly style! Loving it! Honestly, your fractals just connect with me more and more on a very subconscious level and I can't find the right words to describe it, so I'll just depict my feelings with an emote:

To Bandersen. Prayer in schools won't help with the porno problem! Most of the perverts I have encountered in my 60 years were hiding behind their religion. Born agains, LDS, etc. it is so much more complicated than just prayer. Many kids can't talk to their parents about the real issues in their lives.

At least one of the commentors here today is a staunch conservative who is
opposing regulation for the same tired old reason -- it's a matter of
personal freedom. They claim that personal freedom overrides any attempt to
regulate "speech" or guns or whatever. Then they have the gall to turn
around and try to pin the blame on those blasted "liberals."
You are correct, the Republicans who have stopped passage of laws regarding porn are those who bill themselves as "libertarians." Rand Paul and his father come to mind immediately.
As for media being owned by "liberals," that's nonsense. Who owns the Fox network -- one of the purveyors of some of the sleaziest programs on the air? Is Rupert Murdoch a liberal? Is General Electric? What about Bonneville Communications?
Here's a challenge. Go to work and so some homework. If someone else tries to point out the truth and you don't like it, it's too easy to simply dismiss it. But if you have made the effort to find out for yourself, it's much harder to be dismissive.

We found some fabulous internet filter programs that can calculate how many
times these sites are being attempted to be accessed by different devices. We
took away some of the devices and had a long talk with our youth. The software
filters extremely well but we can't control anything outside our own home.
Having a close and loving relationship with your teen children is paramount to dealing well with these issues. We also have taken advantage of the Addiction Recovery Program of the Church…for one older child it was very successful. Addiction recovery should be taught as a Sunday School class….for ALL. We saw this same problem with elderly people in one area. Porn is addictive regardless of age.

@Open Minded Mormon. I am Dutch. Years ago, when my children were young, we were visiting my parents in the Netherlands. The kids were around 10 years of age and fluent in Dutch. One afternoon they were watching a children's program. During one of the commercials a show, that would be shown that evening, was highlighted. It was a documentary about "a day in the life of a prostitute," and it included full frontal nudity. That was in the late 80's. I disagree with your statement that, because Europe is socialistic, they have a better control over pornography and children. The shows now are even more vulgar and you constantly have to be on your guard about what to watch. I personally think that overall pornography in Europe is worse than here. And I hope that when you visit any of its countries you will never suffer from jet lag, because if you turn on the tv you get to watch it for free.

#1 I find it interesting that many people on here suggest simply making pornography illegal to put on the internet. It would be a good solution, but there is simply no way to enforce it. At what point do we draw the line? Do we ban all sites with women in bikinis? National Geographic photos which show nudity? There is no way to draw a line which can make all people happy. Additionally, laws made in America would have no influence on the practices of the rest of the world and there is certainly pornography being made elsewhere. And the porn studios in the states would likely just route their videos through foreign servers and not be limited at all. Even if they didn't, new sites can be put up very quickly, and with the vastness of the internet there is no way the government could keep up having to slog through red tape to get the site shut down.

#2 Parents need to communicate, install filters, and be active in their
children's lives. I think parents also need to not be condemning of their
children and express that if there is this problem there will not be anger or
punishment or, I know many will disagree, religion bandied about. When someone
is told they need to stop because they are sinning, it increases the guilt and a
child is less likely to be willing to admit things to their parents.
Also I think there needs to be some distinction. Churches condemn pornography but they tend to paint with a broad brush saying that any image you ever see will be forever with you, and that if you ever view pornography you are an addict. This is not true. Pornography is addictive, but not every person who views it is an addict. Children may see pornography, it will intrigue them, but they are not necessarily addicted. They should be told of the dangers and not labeled with something that probably doesn't apply to them that they will find hurtful.

One of the problem areas is, as was mentioned, that once teens reach young
adulthood, a majority have become convinced not only that there's nothing
wrong with pornography, but that it is a healthy activity. So a lot of video
channels and joke sites become infested with an assortment of favorite childhood
trends, toys, and icons that are sexualized with a flash of pornography. Seen as
funny, often legitimate humor is mixed into these sites to give them a sense of
legitimacy. It's all in good fun, right?
Unfortunately the consequences of viewing this material, especially on young minds who have not the cognitive skills to simply "Stop it" (as one commenter suggests we should all just do) can be catastrophic and robs a child of a normal healthy adult relationship in the future.
So for free information and conveniences that come on the internet, we're sacrificing our children and grandchildren to these perverse robbers of natural human intimacy. Some of the most sacred and special relationships a human can experience are at risk, but we'd rather keep our datalines open for fear we might miss out on some indeterminant datum?

We all agree that pornography is extremely damaging; however I still maintain
that we should NOT enact laws to BAN pornography on the internet. Allow me to
If a law were enacted to ban internet pornography at its source; government would need access to ISPs (Internet Service Providers). [This is equivalent to giving government control to newspaper distributors.] If government has the ability to Censor, more than initially intended is censored. We can all agree this happens time and time again throughout history.
One could argue that anything with pornographic content/reference should be outlawed; however who is defining "Pornography?"
- Perhaps any images showing a shirt off? There goes thousands of paintings of Christ on the Cross..
- Perhaps anything showing nudity below the waistline? Goodbye Michelangelo's David.. Goodbye the millions of articles on reproductive health...
As such, no simple answer exists. However, f I could offer a solution; I'd recommend petitioning to your local ISP (Comcast, Utopia, Quest, etc) asking them to offer a service that blacklists known sites associated with pornographic material. (Lists already exist and are regularly updated.)
That way, legislation isn't favoring censorship and we'd have access to all information. Pornography included.

Here's a simple solution. How about parents keep a tighter control over
their children's internet use? It's not a porn-slingers job to babysit
your children and protect them from bad information, nor is it the ISP's
job, nor is it the government's job.
Regulating your child's internet use is not that difficult. I've been doing it and helping other parents learn how to do it for a decade now. It's not difficult if more parents would be willing to just educate themselves and were willing to spend the time and effort to make sure their children don't get caught up in such things. Internet access doesn't have to be unregulated. Phone access doesn't have to be unregulated. Texting, email, social media, all of that doesn't have to be a free-for-all for your kids. All of that is the job of parents to regulate and moderate for their children, and it is the job of parents to disable and take it away if the child is not able to behave with them.

Your comment shows that you haven't done much research on the topic. Take some time and look up Patrick Carnes, Donald Hilton, and people like them. Studies they've done show that people who have recovered from both hard drug addictions and sexual/pornography addictions found it much harder to overcome the latter. More and more research that's being done is showing that sexual addiction affects more parts of the brain than "chemical" addictions.
"Just stopping" or making it a matter of will power isn't enough. There are natural chemicals in your body that are manipulated to the point that you become chemically bonded to the addiction, and it's much harder to escape those chemicals when they there's no way to get them out of your system. The fight is more to get them to healthy levels, and it's not easy.
And there is no simple solution. I was first introduced at age 9 by a friend. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. We didn't even have internet in the home until years and years later.

Your suggestions presuppose that kids get to porn only through the devices their parent can regulate. This is extremely uninformed.
Four things need to be done to protect children, especially those who have the disposition to become hooked.
1. Parents need to be willing to talk about sex in a way that makes it safe for their children to approach them, with any question. They need to articulate to their children the difference between demonstrating love and selfishly indulging in lust.
2. Filters and monitoring need to be in place on all devices possible, including - and especially- cell phones. These need to be checked regularly. Be careful of magazines that come into your home that have provocative pictures. Even lotion ads that show the female form can be problematic for young boys.
3. Your internet rules need to apply even at friend's homes. Friends parents need to know your rules.
4. Go ahead and label me a prude, but our permissive society needs to be beaten back. This includes supporting laws that push porn back into the dark corner that it crawled out of.
With all these things in place our kids have a much better chance of avoiding this devastating addiction.

Jesus said that the poor will always be with us and we can help them when we want. The same is true about drug and alcohol addiction and pornography addiction. You are always going to have addicts in society. Give them the help they need but don't think it is a universal problem that needs to be solved for everyone. They are addicts - it is not an epidemic just like poverty isn't an epidemic - it is choices, bad choices made by addicts (poverty addicts for the most part don't have will power to move forward). I don't have a propensity for alcohol or pornography but have taken alcohol and viewed pornography just like a lot of people and haven't suffered any ill effects because it was in moderation.

The solution is forcing ISP's to filter content. Why ISP's? Because 1,
they possess the resources to do this. 2 it stops the smut before it ever gets
to the home.
Routers are almost worthless in their ability to block sites. They have it, but its too easy to disable, or delete the list. Theres also the problem of coming up with the block list in the first place. Cheap routers don't even support whitelisting domains. Which is really what you should do with kids. Whitelisting is allowing only the domains you approve of for them to go do. Then there's the problem with 3g/lte access. How do you limit that? Software on individual computers doesn't work. In-browser plugins do not work. It needs to stop at the ISP.
It's really simple to implement. The ISP compiles an ever growing list of porn search terms. It skims the top 1000 links off of the search results. It does this daily compiling a list of the most popular porn domains. These domains are blocked. Crowdsouring a whitelist will help eliminate false positives. It has to be a community effort. Sign me up.

For those who want filtering, OpenDNS.com is a good starting place. It's
free and has good categories of sites to block. Every computer which accesses
the Internet uses DNS. I have it on my own computer, which has a direct
connection to the Internet, and on my WIFI for visitors to my home. Filtering
isn't a cure-all, but it is a necessary starting point.
The Internet is like every city -- there are places that we shouldn't visit. Teach ourselves and our children to not go to those places.

I am running a software and while it is running, I want to know how much CPU usage or RAM it occupies... along with maybe other things that could be interesting. For that purpose, I need to know exactly what do words like
N etc mean. I have tried to find it on Google but could not. Can someone please guide me to a source where I can read about these in detail for the
top command?
Also, as per my understanding,
%CPU shows CPU usage and
%MEMshows the percentage of RAM that is being used. Is that correct?
Also, I don't know how is it possible that at one time 3-4 users are using 100% of CPU and sometimes someone is even using 400%. What does that mean?

Presentation by Mark Bonchek at Conscious Capitalism 2014.
"Conscious leaders know that authority has its limits, but sometimes feel a tension between autonomy and alignment. You want to empower your people, but can't have everyone going in all different directions. Purpose and values can be too broad, while policies and procedures can be too narrow. Is there a middle way? It turns out there is an answer, and it comes from some surprising places including the Navy Seals, flocks of birds, the U.S. Constitution, and Wikipedia.
In this thought-provoking, hands-on session, learn how to create decision principles that connect to your higher purpose and put your culture into action. You will leave with practical insights for creating a more networked and collaborative organization."

What if there were no airlines? It may sound crazy, but now-retired rogue aeronautical engineer Burt Rutan once speculated that, someday, people might look back and say, "For a short period in history, people traveled en masse in giant airplanes called 'airliners.' They only used a very few crowded runways, and traveling to and from the airports often took longer than the flight itself." In Rutan's version of the future, we would further develop the general aviation infrastructure such that people could fly on light airplanes to and from the thousands of small airports near their homes and destinations.

Posted by Leon Nardella on May 24, 2012 at 03:44 PM PDT #
Not bad but measuring first startup would have been more impressive since restarts are always faster since netbeans files are already on cache.
The first comment asks for the type of hard disk used, Solid State Drives make everything faster.
Posted by Jules on May 24, 2012 at 06:22 PM PDT #
It doesnt matter windows of linux.
Classic HDD aroud maximum 50mb/s reading speed.
SSD i saw around 300mb/s reading speed (last generation may be even more)
Because startup time of netbeans depends from 2 factors how many objects need to create and load all need classes into RAM from harddrive, using SSD significantly improve starup time all applications include OS.

Killer Tornado Kills 89 People In Missouri; European Union Sanctions Syria
At least 30 people are dead after a powerful tornado smashed through Joplin, Mississippi late Sunday afternoon, according to Reuters. The Joplin Globe reports coroners of two counties are setting up a temporary morgue on one street corner while officials fear the death toll could soar to 100 people. The AP says the path of the tornado was four miles wide.
President Obama arrived in Ireland, just days after Queen Elizabeth paid a visit there. Although he's also going as a head of state, CNN says the President will visit a tiny village that was home to an ancestor on his mother's side. It's a brief stopover: he'll spend a couple of days in Britain, move on to France for the Group of Eight summit, and finish in Poland with a meeting of Central European leaders, according to Voice of America.
The European Union is the latest to impose economic sanctions on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The AP reports the 27-member bloc sanctioned 13 people linked to the Syrian leadership but not the President; now Assad is part of the group. The EU is outraged over Syria's crackdown on civilians; it's believed Syria has killed at least 900 people in two months of violent suppression.

I have a command line program that is expecting to be passed a configuration file e.g.
sphinx --config /some/config_file
I'm calling this command from inside a Ruby program where I'm currently dynamically generating the config file before writing it to disk. This seems like a waste as the file is only used once and deleted right after.
Is there a way to avoid writing the file to disk by just passing in something that the program will think is a file but really hasn't been written to disk?

Gateway Motel – Things to be considered! First of all – the motel is situated beside the main road. Thus, the level of noise is intolerable and sound from other rooms goes beyond the tolerance level as well. Secondly – there are simply not enough parking spaces for all rooms.

When the consumer receives their Sapphire 6790 the first impression due to the size of the box is that this is a basic, mainstream card however upon unboxing it they will find a card which goes above and beyond expectations. As well as getting a redesigned, compact PCB with better display output selection than the reference design card, attached to the front is Sapphires own design cooler.
The cooler is one of the key features of this particular card due to the fact that it keeps the GPU exceptionally cool, 61°C at full load, and that it does so in near silence. That good performance continues into power use where the Sapphire 6790 requires fewer watts than the competing GeForce model.
Looking specifically at gaming we have a card which AMD claim is perfect for gaming at 1080p and for the most part we would have to agree. In all but one of the games tested today the Sapphire 6790 was more than capable of gaming at that level, often with decent levels of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering too… and always at maximum detail. This includes games such as Crysis 2.
So that brings us to value and at £120/$150 the 6790 seems priced at an appropriate level. It performs below the 6850 and above the 5770, more often than not exceeding the GeForce 550 Ti too. The only issue in the current market is that currently models such as the Sapphire 5830 are priced exceptionally well and in many games it offers slightly better performance. That said the 6790 is a more future proof model thanks to the way it handles Tessellation and so using the Heaven benchmark as an example the 6790 is faster than the 5830. Can't be bad to have two such stong models in the £100-120 price range can it?
