I'm not even sure where to begin. My family and I are survivors of HELLP Syndrome. Up until a month before my due date, I had what I thought was a relatively normal pregnancy. I felt incredibly nauseous the first trimester, like a million bucks the second trimester and fat, tired and swollen for much of the third trimester. Our little girl was full term and I didn't have many of the symptoms a lot of women have prior to being induced. On April 22 (exactly one month before my due date), I was put on bed rest. I had mentioned to the Dr in a few previous visits that my ankles were very swollen. They would examine them and tell me that's a normal part of pregnancy, which I... Read More

I have had HELLP with both my previous pregnancies. And now I am expecting my third child. I am wondering when the other shoe will drop. When will I get sick this time? The farther along I get, the more I worry. I have been lucky though with my previous pregnancies. I and my children have survived without problems. With my first child I had a very normal pregnancy until I was diagnosis with gestational diabetes. It was difficult at first to adjust to the diet and medicine, but as a nurse I understood the need for good control of my blood sugar. I also knew that having diabetes put me at a greater risk for preeclampsia. But I had hope everything would work out okay. Everything... Read More

It's been about 4 years and 1 month ago, that I gave birth to my 2nd daughter, on July 10, 2009. The pregnancy started out normal and then about 4 months into it I started feeling sick, and having headaches. At about six months, my family decided to take a little vacation and visited a local zoo. After that I swelled up. At my six month appointment they did the normal testing. Everything came out fine, but my normal blood pressure was a little high, so they reassured me that everything was fine. They did want to do a blood test and a 24hr urine test so I went to the lab for that right way. But everything came back normal. The only thing the doctor could come up with is... Read More

Hi, I delivered a boy last year August. I had a great absolutely normal, full-term pregnancy with not a single incidence of high BP or swelling. However, I started bleeding the day I completed 9 months. Got admitted, BP normal, BPP, NST normal. Since labour did not progress for nearly 12 hours, I was induced after which I started leaking and BP increased to 150/100. My OB decided for a C section and BP was back to normal during and after delivery. I ws discharged after 3 days. 3 days later I started feeling weak and heaviness in head, pain in eyes, swelling in left foot. Checked BP... 180/110... Was rushed to the hospital: ECG was normal. The next 3 days was under... Read More

I am a new mom that was hospitalized for postpartum preeclampsia in Nov. 2012, 5 days after I had my baby, I had a slight fever and a severe neck/headache. When I returned the call to the nurse that had called me for my postpartum checkup, a different nurse answered, NOT normally in charge of that. Amazingly, she helped save my life. She told me to see the doctor. (Afterwards I found out that many nurses there would have said it was just my milk coming in, and I was fine). She was an angel. I arrived at the doctor, and was admitted to the hospital immediately when they took my blood pressure (about... Read More

Hello, my name is Leslie B. I along with my two boys, Brody, 5 years old and Nicholas, 3 months old, are survivors of preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome. After having this condition with two pregnancies, I have felt a strong conviction to help bring awareness to this often "silent" but very serious condition. It really hit me when I was at a playdate with my boys, and a woman there expressed that she was so miserable being pregnant that she had prayed she would get preeclampsia so she could deliver early and "get" to have a c-section so she didn't have to endure a long labor. I was stunned at the idea that someone would want to have this, but I also kind of understood because although I had not... Read More

My name is Dana and I developed preeclampsia in my 28th week. It was considered mild, but I was still hospitalized because my blood pressure was 175/95 and I was having severe headaches. By the following week, I had developed HELLP syndrome and my son had to be delivered by c-section. I almost did not make it through the delivery. Although my son was only 2.7 lbs, he was pretty healthy and only stayed in the NICU for 6 weeks. He is 6 months old now and doing amazing! I have always wanted multiple children but am absolutely terrified of going through this again. My entire pregnancy was unpleasant with two surgeries in the first two months to remove one of my ovaries because of a... Read More

My name is Emily and about a year ago I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. My blood pressure was really high and my doctor put me on a few different medicationss to counteract it, but nothing helped... it just got worse and my dose was upped again and again. This went on for about three months before we lost our daughter. I was 7.5 months along. my husband and I want to start trying again, but I'm really frightened that this will happen again and I'm not so sure that I'm strong enough to bury an other child.

Hi: my name is Michelle Stewart and I am a survior of Preeclampsia. I was 26 weeks pregnant with my baby boy Jayson Grady Stewart when I noticed my hands where very swollen. This was my first pregnancy and I thought it was normal. I called my doctor and set up a time later in the day to be checked out. When I got to the doctor's office they took my blood pressure three times all coming out to 180/100. The nurse sent me straight to the hospital. I had never heard of Preeclampsia so I thought it was no big deal that they strapped me up and took my blood pressure for hours. I wasn't worried, I just thought they may put me on bed rest. When they finally got me... Read More

My husband and I tried for over 2 years to get pregnant. We were told we would need to proceed with IVF. So we had 3 embryos implanted and 1 of them matured into an exciting pregnancy for us. I was due on November 4, 2010. At 26 weeks of my pregnancy on July 27, 2013, I was at work and not feeling so great. My legs/ankles were very swollen but nothing else swelled. I was experiencing some vision problems. I went to my mom's office at the time she worked for an OB-GYN so one of the nurses could take my BP. Well it was extremely high. The OB/Gyn at her office told the nurse to run a urine test for my protein level. My levels were 7,000. I was immediately admitted into the hospital. My... Read More

Our first child, Ellie Katherine, was born on Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 at 5:02 am via c-section. She was 4 pounds, 4 ounces, and 16 and 1/2 inches long and was born at 37 weeks gestation. Her birth was a total whirlwind, but I'll start with what was happening a week before she was born. I went for my 36-week checkup and I had elevated blood pressure and protein in my urine. I was also swollen beyond recognition. All three of these symptoms are characteristic of preeclampsia, and I had protein in my urine for several weeks in a row by now. Ellie's heartbeat was good and my belly measured normal, so the doctor had me lay down for about half an hour and then came back and did my blood... Read More

Two blue lines. When a woman is trying to get pregnant that is about all she can think about. For me, it became an obsession in fact. My husband, Matthew, and I had been married for almost a year when we decided we wanted to try getting pregnant. Before any attempts were made on our behalf I went to my OBGYN for a preconception check-up. My exam and lab work revealed I was healthy and had the green light to try. Despite this reassurance from my physician that I was healthy and fit for pregnancy I could not shake this feeling I had that there was trouble ahead. At the time I suspected this trouble might be infertility. After one month of trying Matthew and I had conceived. On... Read More

Oliver's Story I remember when I found out I was pregnant, I was so shocked. I've always wanted to be a mom, we just did not think it would be that soon. It was the happiest moment of my life. We did a few home pregnancy tests and they came back negative so I was not hopeful. But my partner was convinced I was. So we went to the GP, I went in on my own and made my partner wait outside. When the nurse started to do the pregnancy test it was the most agonizing 5 minutes of my life. At first the negative line came up, I definitely was not hopeful. The nurse assured me that I...

In 2006 we found out that we would be expecting our 3rd child. We already had two boys, so I was really hoping that my 3rd would be a girl, since I assumed that would be my last. In May of 2006 we found out we were expecting a girl; I was so excited. My due date was 10/28/06, so I had to go through the whole summer. :( Everything was going well in the pregnancy; I was not considered high risk at the time. I had preeclampsia with the boys, but not until actual labor at 39 and 40 weeks, so they really had no reason to think that the pregnancy would be any different. I continued to go to my monthly appointments and again everything was fine... then all of sudden around August 1, I... Read More

I used to be a very small person but as the weeks went by I grew very fast. When I was 28 weeks pregnant I was the size of a single birth mother at 40 weeks. My pregnancy went great never had any complications at all things were going very smoothly. Oh and at 18 weeks I found out I was having two girls.

Everything was great up until I went in for my checkup at 31 weeks and my blood pressure was elevated. I was sent home on bedrest and scared.

I was ecstatic when I finally got a positive pregnancy test on Sept 11, 2011 after 2 yrs of ttc. Little did I know that my pregnancy and delivery would be life threatening and the most terrifying experience of my life. At 8 weeks I had to go to the ER because of spotting. The docs diagnosed it as a threatened miscarriage and sent me home to wait it out. Well by the grace of God the spotting ended and I continued to carry my baby. I thought that was the most traumatizing experience I could have, but boy, was I wrong. At 22 wks, I notice my little boy had significantly stopped moving. So my doc hooked me up to the NST machine and found out the cord was around his neck. After much... Read More

It is always a pleasure to visit a garden, and here is an opportunity to spend time in a local nature preserve and see some flower gardens at the same time.
Jim Bailey, secretary of the Friends of the Seneca County Park District, has planted a butterfly garden and flower beds at Garlo Nature Preserve over the last several years and Linda Rose, program director for the district and Out and About pre-School founder and teacher, has developed a rain garden for the enjoyment and education of her students in the same area.
Jim has a display of fall flowers including the bright-colored daisy-petaled gaillardia, cone flowers, asters, some lovely Freedom Hedge roses, Autumn Joy sedum and lavender. Montauk daisies and late hollyhocks are getting ready to bloom, and purple and white clematis is climbing a trellis and some rusty antique farm machinery, while several butterfly bushes attract insects. Monarch butterflies are being provided with their favorite milkweed.
Linda has a display of sunflowers that are as attractive to her students as they are to the birds that feast on the seeds, and her rain garden is planned to use the water that runs off the roof of the nature center. Hardy perennial native plants that do not mind periodic "wet feet" enjoy the water that is filtered along the ground surface, and provide shelter and food for the abundant wildlife at Garlo.
Additional flowers in the area include turtle-head flowers (chelone), liatris, coreopsis, coneflowers and rudbeckia.
If you need additional reasons to visit Garlo Preserve this fall, plan to go there Oct. 7 and enjoy Oktober Fest. Authentic German food will be featured, including leberkaese (a type of German bologna) sandwiches, hot and cold German potato salad, sauerkraut, red cabbage, creamy cucumber salad and hot potato soup. Desserts complete the menu.
The park district is fortunate to have two skilled German cooks in our group. Gabi Felter is chairwoman of the food committee and Karin Brown is Oktober Fest chairwoman. Under their direction, a group of us cook and bake to prepare authentic dishes for the festival.
New this year is a German baekerie (bake shop), to be located in the restored Miller log cabin, which will be specially decorated for the occasion. Some of the goodies on sale there will include pretzels imported from Munich, red wine cake, linzer torte, Black Forest cookies, homebaked breads, nut cake and more.
There will be plenty of things to keep the whole family busy, with special hands-on activities for the children, a petting zoo, a Black Swamp raptor exhibit, a rock-cutting demo, narrated wagon tours, a 25-piece German band and more.
Admission to Garlo is free, although donations to the Friends of the Park are much appreciated. This is our major fundraiser for the year and, of course, we are hoping for good weather.
There is a detour on SR 19 between Bloomville and the nature preserve due to a bridge replacement in progress. Those like me with limited navigational skills can use CR 6, which intersects with SR just south of Garlo Preserve. Signs will be posted.
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program.

Salem schools face red ink by 2017
October 22, 2013
SALEM — The five-year financial forecast approved by the Salem Board of Education Monday night shows the cash carryover keeping the bottom line in the black through 2016....
And to think if Bratton with his own bloated salary wouldn't have paid off a sex offender that money would still be in the budget.

I have observed the 5 year forecasts for a long time; they change dramatically over time - usually for the better; so I am not too worried. If you know how they have to be calculated, per state law, you can understand how the numbers often look this way in the out years. They will change.

I have a feeling that this will generate some discussion and probably some animosity towards people who disagree with those of us saying the things I just said. So I'd just like everyone to know that my live-in girlfriend of 3 1/2 years will graduate in the spring with an education degree. So it's not as though I have no skin in the game here, her salary and benefits are soon to be a factor in my life.
I just wanted to include that before we get a teacher that comes on here under an anonymous name and tries to drag me through the mud with the idea that it's easy for me to say these things when I have nothing invested.
This is just the real world. We don't live in the fantasy land that some people think we do and many others wish we did. People have to make the necessary changes and adjustments to changing times, whether positive or negative. The idea that people shouldn't be responsible for making those changes is by definition childish.

I agree with you ladybug, someone should go to jail over the economic cronyism that is creating our bubbly economy. In fact, a lot of people should. Most of them in government. The reality is though, the public has felt the pain of it more than anyone. If you want to work for the state, this is the reality you have to face--your job isn't guaranteed. It's a matter of numbers, not a matter of compassion and emotion. You don't hear the general public in an uproar when times are good and public officials benefit packages are expanding rather than the services they're providing expanding. No double standards. When times are tough, tough decisions have to be made.

Colour and Texture Based Classification of Rock Images Using Classifier Combinations
Lepistö, Leena
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2006-04-07
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication; 593
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Department of Information Technology
Department: Institute of Signal Processing
The classification of natural images is an essential task in current computer vision and pattern recognition applications. Rock images are a typical example of natural images, and their analysis is of major importance in the rock industry and in bedrock investigations. Rock image classification is based on specific visual descriptors extracted from the images. Using these descriptors, images are divided into classes according to their visual similarity. This thesis investigates rock image classification using two different approaches. Firstly, the colour and texture based description of rock images is developed by applying multiscale texture filtering techniques to the rock images. The emphasis in such image description is to make the filtering for the selected colour channels of the rock images. Additionally, surface reflection images obtained from industrial rock plates are analysed using texture filtering methods. Secondly, the area of image classification is studied in terms of classifier combinations. The purpose of the classifier combination strategies proposed in this thesis is to combine the information provided by different visual descriptors extracted from the image in the classification. This is attained by using separate base classifiers for each descriptor and combining the opinions provided by the base classifiers in the final classification. In this way the texture and colour information of rock images can be combined in the classification to achieve better classification accuracy than a classification using separate descriptors. These methods can be readily applied to automated rock classification in such fields as the rock and stone industry or bedrock investigations.

BATAVIA – One of Genesee Community College Foundation's most generous donors was honored Friday with the dedication of a library instruction room in his memory.
Lynn E. Browne died at age 88 in 2011 in Colorado, where he moved to be near his daughter.
A native of Batavia, he had returned to his hometown after selling a button manufacturing business in Philadelphia.
During the three decades after his return, he served on the GCC Foundation's board of trustees as treasurer, where he oversaw significant growth in endowments.
In 2006, the college presented him its first Alpha Medal of Service, which the family returned, to be displayed in the room bearing his name.
Richard G. Ensman Jr., executive director of the foundation, praised Browne for his continuing focus on "removing the barriers that might block students' way through campus housing, which Brown supported with scholarships or other financial aid."

Google Nexus 7 vs Apple iPad 3
0. phoneArena 25 Jul 2012, 06:45 posted on
Since its inception, the iPad has long remained at the top of the tablet universe without seeing much threat from the competition. Of course, we can name quite a few devices that were poised to challenge its supremacy, but there has yet to be a legitimate contender that can slow its sales. Through it all, the iPad continues to stand head above water over its rivals. Well people, it looks like that might all change with the Google Nexus 7, as it seemingly employs all the correct ingredients for a major shakeup...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Seriously John, how can you compare these two such a way..... There are so much different between these two...
2. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
What do you mean? He was very just & fair in his criticism. He pointed out the best on both devices & the bad on both devices. I mean how much more fair can he be.
What are the real differences? One is big & one is small? One runs iOS 6 & the other runs Jelly Bean?
He is right these are the 2 best tablets around right now.
I think my Asus Transformer Prime running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean is a better unit than the Nexus 7, but again that is just my humble opinion. lol
3. wendygarett (unregistered)
yup, He is right these are the 2 best tablets around right now.
But different spec different price different os different size etc...
It just awkward and unfair to compare in this way...
6. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I understand what you are saying, BUT he is comparing the 2 BEST tablets. He doesn't care about the price point, size or whatever. His job was to compare the 2 BEST tablets & that is what he did.
There is nothing unfair about it. He did a GREAT job.

---" He doesn'tcare about theprice point,size or whatever."---
I'm going to play devil's advocate for second. I'm obviously being overly critical but I do get the impression that he does use the price point to compare the two. If the prices were more balanced, he would've inherently, without a doubt, chosen the iPad.
When you compare larger size and price vs lower, the fight becomes the equivelant of KIA vs Escalade. This becomes evident in the constant mention of the size differences vs taste and those that can afford the larger vs those that can't.
I had no choice but to only compare found ios vs Jellybean. I want a larger tablet that best competes with Apple.
John B.
18. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Ok I will play too.
This Kia as you refer to is a quad-core beast. Compared to the dual-core Escalade. I think that is a poor comparison. It's more like an Escalade to a BMW M3, just that the M3 is underpriced to the price of a Toyota Camry. He essentially was comparing the 2 BEST tablets, which happens to be the $200.00 Nexus 7 & the $500.00 Apple iPad 3.
If he is truly doing a fair comparison between the 2 he HAS to mention the price points. You can't compare anything without price points. That is part of the deal in a comparison.
The only reason he picked the Nexus 7 is because it's the newest & best. Once the Asus Transformer Prime gets an OFFICIAL Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 update then we can compare the 2. The Prime is a better unit overall.
I have a rooted Asus Transformer Prime running 4.1.1 & it's an absolute joy. Remember the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is coming out & we will see how it stacks up against the iPad 3.
19. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
---" The only reason he picked the Nexus 7 is because it's the newest & best. Once the Asus Transformer Prime gets an OFFICIAL Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 update then we can compare the 2."---
SuperAndroidEvo, you just confirmed what I was pointing out. The size also matters in comparisons.
I give him credit to bring the GN7 to media worthiness. It is a great tablet. And while his comparison tried to be unbiased, the sizes unfortunately, do put these two tablets in separate categories.
I happen to like the Transformer BTW. I'm sure Jellybean has increased its potential. It's great to see the Android platform evolve into the monster product it is. People of other platforms will eventually see just how great it is.
John B.
21. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I wasn't necessarily pointing out the size, I was saying that the Asus Transformer Prime is a better unit in terms of build quality & features. It just happens to be a 10.1" tablet also.
If the Nexus 7 had the same features & build quality as the Prime then I would not have said what you quoted.
Again I think size is just a matter of opinion, what really matters at least to me is the guts of the tablet & Google has put together a very viable tablet for a much cheaper price point compared to the Apple iPad 3.
I really think that was the basis of John V.'s comparison, also let's not forget the OS differences. Right now it's a fact that the best Android has is the Nexus 7 because of Jelly Bean. Once Jelly Bean hits the Asus Transformer Prime, that will again be the best tablet in Android's corner.
Again +1
20. wendygarett (unregistered)
Everyone prefer nexus 7 because it is future proof... Which mean it is os upgradable and affordable...
23. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
That too is also true. It's just that Google was able to produce such a competent tablet at such a ridiculous price point.
People will see this & this might finally start to hurt Apple. For a 7" $200.00 tablet with GREAT specs to hold that much water against the full force of the iPad 3 is truly astonishing, to me at least.
74. devinm787 (Posts: 5; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
u couldn't be more wrong. its like comparing a corolla xrs to a bmw m3, yeah u can put parts & sup up the xrs but it will never be a bmw. the build quality & feel of the iPad is far superior, the screen is better, & u speak of the tegra3 vs the dual core A5x, but the iPad benchmarks better then the nexus7. so in other words u get what u pay for. like in a bmw vs a toyota

the nexus 7 isnt the BEST andriod tablet out there, Im sure the transformer prime infinity is a lot nicer.

Good comparison. Precise. It is obvious that Nexus is better (considering it's price).

I agree :-) (waiting for my N7 to be shipped)

75. devinm787 (Posts: 5; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
so is a honda civic better than a mercedes amg ? i mean considering the price.
5. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
300$ of difference and still the Nexus 7 can show that is an hard opponent for the new iPad :-)
9. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1345; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
This comparison is very poor. This is like comparing a $20,000 Toyota to a $45,000 Lexus. Most people don't need a Lexus and cannot afford one. I had both tablets but got rid of my iPad 3 because it just did not suit me. I wanted a smaller higher quality name brand 7 inch tablet that will receive timely updates. After the wow factor for the Retina display wore off that iPad started collecting dust. Apple is not meeting my needs at the moment.
39. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
There is a famous comparison of a $500,000 Lexus LFA vs $85,000 nissan skyline on Youtube. Who cares. You can compare it to whatever you want. Who says you can only compare things in the same category.
The Nexus is the better bang for the buck PERIOD. I own an iPad2 AND an iPad3 and I will sell them for a Nexus 7
When you use the iPad all day and realize its not that comfortable to hold you quickly realize that you would sacrifice the solid aluminum and big size for a more comfortable smaller screen and lighter device.
I love my iPad but dont take it everywhere with me. The nexus however is a device that will fit comfortably in my cargo shorts.
more practical, more comfortable, equals better to me. Of course, that is my own personal criteria
76. devinm787 (Posts: 5; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
you're gonna sell both an iPad 2 & 3rd gen iPad to buy a nexus7....do u know how much the nexus cost haha. I dont think u have to sell both haha

you cant beat value for money with the nexus.
bottom line you get what you pay for
14. bloodline (Posts: 706; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
also I think the nexus 10 will be the real competitor for the ipad
15. script_writer (banned) (Posts: 56; Member since: 27 Jun 2012)
im afraid i have agree with wendygarett (top of the comments) that the devices differ in such way that its hard to compare them fairly. WHEN google launch the nexus 7 10inch edition then it will be a more fair comparason. either that or when apple launch the ipad mini.
17. ajac09 (Posts: 1481; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
for hte price the nexus 7 kills the ipad.
22. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
wow.. you really skipped over Google Now, which is a HUUUUUUGE ADVANTAGE over iOS. You made it sound like it was next to nothing.
Also, would you pay 300 more for the ipad to watch movies on.. and have them only be SLIGHTLY bigger (After all the aspect ratio cropping) and SLIGHTLY nicer on screen? I hope you have a lot of cash to burn.
Here, true story about Google Now from ACTUAL use, not a 5 minute play around for a comparison.
"My wife has been taking her tablet to work (and everywhere) with her. Without telling the tablet where work or home is actually located or when she comes/goes, it figured it out (im assuming by consistent locations at time of day and usage patterns... way cool). The other morning it woke her up (its beside her phone on the stand) and told her there was an accident on her way to work, that its a 40 minute delay, and gave her a re-routing.... all automatically. It Google Now saved her from being late without programming anything into it. That is awesome." And its 100% true.
Dont forget to mention that the N7 has voice commands unlike the ipad3 (yet), and GNow is waaaaaay more accurate and functional than Siri.
24. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Thank you for that. Google Now is clearly something the $500.00 iPad 3 just CAN'T do. Also if I am correct the iPad 3 still doesn't even have the very outdated or shall we say incomplete Siri. Right?
28. jaoowolabi (Posts: 201; Member since: 07 Jun 2012)
To be honest, I think people can live without a voice assistant on a tablet, I mean I do.
30. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Good for you. That is great. I use Google Voice search & Google Now all the time on my rooted Asus Transformer Prime running Jelly Bean.
31. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Google Now is much much more than a simple voice search app like Siri, hence the entire point of the REAL LIFE EXAMPLE I just gave of its automatic usage.
44. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Siri is a voice search app? Another dishonest post by you.
Google now is the voice search app with no true ai like Siri.
47. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Siri is no AI. AI means Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is the ability to problem solve complex things, the ability to get smarter & grow through time.
Siri is just a collection of recorded questions & answers. Any "NEW" questions Siri encounters it will tell you it can answer that until it's updated by Apple to answer that new question.
Siri doesn't learn, every new update to Siri is just more questions & answers that is added to its data base. Siri doesn't get smarter nor does it have the ability to solve problems. If Siri was AI then it wouldn't need the internet to answer questions. It would just answer it based on it's knowledge. Just like you & I.
Siri is a voice search app that knows some cute non essential BS. It by no means is AI. lol
At least Google Now can adapt to an individual the more & more you use it. It's not AI, but it's something way closer to AI than Siri. Google Now actually gets smarter based on usage. Siri is subpar compared to Google's Voice search app or Google Now.
77. devinm787 (Posts: 5; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
the more u use siri the more it recognizes ur voice.
also u have to remember apple is great at updating their softwares, siri is still a beta. but both voice assistants do get the job done & both will greatly improve, just have to wait to see which does better for its native device in the future.
66. TortillaSlap (Posts: 43; Member since: 05 Aug 2012)
what type of fool thinks siri is an AI??? lolol.
25. ChafedBanana (Posts: 381; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
It's true. Google Now is very impressive and works extremely well. The speech recognition is waaaaay better than anything else too. I love the cards and the woman's voice is actually pleasant compared to Siri. Jelly Bean 4.1 is the best O.S. ever. I'm running Vicious Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it is now so good that after having owned and tried the Galaxy SIII for a week, I put the sim card back in the Nexus.
26. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
That was my experience too. Yes the Samsung Galaxy S III might have better benchmarks & more power than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but because of Jelly Bean the GNex is smoother, faster & more polished than the S III when side by side. You can literally SEE it.
I swear the GNex with Jelly Bean is like a totally different phone. There are no words to describe it other than it's pure joy of functionality. Also Google now is the next best thing since sliced bread. lol
32. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yup, you aint kidding. The difference between Honeycomb and 4.1 on a tablet is night and day as well. And I was irritated with honeycomb BEFORE playing with the nexus 7.. now its even worse.
I really wasnt expecting anything major with the 4.1 announcement. They hit the ball so far out of the park with delivering beyond expectations its not funny.
Just wait till the SGS3 gets JB. All that goodness + all the power + way better camera software/hardware.
27. aahmed215 (Posts: 165; Member since: 18 Jun 2012)
It's almost like comparing apples to oranges. The Nexus 7 is a low budget device, while the iPad is a premium product. It all depends on what type of consumer you are and neither product can be called better than the other.
Despite the much lower expectations of a $200 device, it's specs and operating system is a threat to the iPad.
33. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the nexus 7 is a semi-premium device disguised as a budget device for mass adoption.
Quad core, super slick usage, and a decently high def screen are not "budget".
the difference
Apple charges you a "premium" and gives you less per dollar.
google charges you a minimum and gives you TONS more than the ipad per dollar.
Had the review gone in depth with 4.1's actual features and usage of Google Now, no one would be fooled into thinking that the ipad is the "premium" tablet other than name brand recognition.

i think the ipad mini will be the best if its priced at $299 for 16gb version because of the elegance and the quality of app store apps and games............the ipad is too big for me....talking about the n7, im not happy with the apps,games quality of my nexus 7, the ui response and display(unusual colors especially while reading books) is not that great either.....if the starting price of the ipad mini is more than $299, then i will be very happy with my nexus 7
38. cliffordm81 (Posts: 3; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
Seriously though as these are different devices in totally different ways, screen size, operating systems, etc. Phonearena should focus more on the detailed pros and cons of the two devices such as responsiveness, touch screen input, ram difference, gps capabilities, etc. I noticed that it says the ipad doesnt have aGPS except in the 4G flavor and that is not true if I read the reviews correctly from before. Anyway they both are nice but as far as functionality and fluidity ios is still amazing.. Now when the transformer infinity prime tf700 comes out then we can compare a bit better.
41. umbrarchist (Posts: 2; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
I can slide the Nexus into the front pocket of the pants I am wearing right now. I still fit my hand in. I would rather have a cargo pocket with a velcro sealed flap but I don't care if the iPad!3 has a better screen. The Nexus would get more use in more places and I thing the picture is great. I would spend more money for an SD Card slot not a better screen.
42. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
I hate it when they say Android is complex. There is a difference between having a high level of customization and being complex. My gf isn't tech savvy and she doesn't have any issues using her Android phone. In my opinion iOS is oversimplified. All you have is grid of apps. Seriously Apple let your users decide how their homescreen is organized.

43. andyboi_ph (Posts: 101; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
this is an okay review in prep for the launching of the ipad mini however it is best to compare ipad mini with the google nexus 7. This is the real battle of specs, size and price points of a 7 inch tablet.
45. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
Agreed I'm pumped to see that comparison. (Hint: Nexus 7 will win)
54. andyboi_ph (Posts: 101; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
if ipadmini (8G) will raise the bar over $199, nexus wins. btw, as we converse, nexus 7 (16G) on google play - all sold out considering its on pre-order mode.

Every ifan is crazy
For 500$ you can buy a ipad or for the same price you could buy a 200$ Nexus 7 or maybe a gnex by adding some money or Nexus 7 with Nexus Q
N btw Nexus 7 serves the purpose of a tablet and has manage to get all of us to compare it with the "The New iPad" and if Apple wants competition it should fight with someone with same size( Win8 x86 tabs).

They really cannot be compared. Nexus 7 has only a 7in display and the iPhone has a 10.1 No comparison here.

Hi Experts,
I'm running into some difficulty getting the BP reference number on the backorder report. I see it available through the form settings of the actual report, although since the report uses only system variables. I'm not sure what system variable to use to make that particular field show up in the PLD
for the PLD variables there is an excel file which contains all the usable variables.
Can I share an excel here on the forum?
Hi Otto,
It will be very helpful for others too if you share it here.
I would really love to but how can I share an excel?
Please guide me,
Hi Sarith,
there's a list of variables available in the SAP Portal.
Please go to:
- https://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/pld
- Documentation -> How To Use the PLD Variables File in Release 8.8 / 2007 A
- Open the Excel file: 'PLD_Vars_April2010.xls'
I hope that helps.
I have the very same guide Pari. I wasn't able to find anything regarding the BP reference number or anything to do with backorders, I think a crystal report would need to be created.
The system variable for BP reference number is 115 in PLD.
Unfortunately it didn't display any data, backorder report must use different system variables?
Which version are you using,the variable 115 works in 8.8 and above versions for the customer ref. no,
Please check whether you have customer ref. no. entered in the sales order.

These off-campus half-day events, hosted a few times a year, give students the opportunity to explore a particular industry. Students who attend learn invaluable information about the industries, networking, and landing career-related experience from a diverse group of participating alumni. Past Career Explos have been hosted in NYC and have featured industries such as finance, education, communications, film and television, and publishing.
These lunches, hosted every couple weeks, provide an opportunity to learn from a panel of fellow students. The student speakers summarize their experience, provide insight into how they got started, and give tips and strategies for the industry in which they interned. Past topics have included education, sciences, finance, government, public health, communications, nonprofit, and business.
This event, held a few times a year, gives students the opportunity to get a professional headshot taken, learn how to start or improve your profile, and how to leverage the LInkedIn platform. Students can also use this time to ask questions of Peer Advisors and Presenters and sign up for upcoming workshops and programs. This also serves as a low-key social event, so feel free to swing by to grab some food and chat.
This event, hosted twice a year, provides an opportunity for juniors and seniors to hear from a panel and participate in practice interviews with alumni, area business leaders, and members of the Hamilton community. During this intensive session, students practice answering common interview questions, receive feedback on their skills, and learn about resources and services to continue improving their interview skills.
In addition, the Career Center collaborates with other offices to host Networking Receptions, as well as Career Speakers and Panels periodically throughout the year.

Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
Xavier Batista rapped out three singles and an RBI double and scored four runs, and his teammates took advantage of six errors, as the AZL Cubs defeated the AZL Dodgers 11-5 in Arizona League action at HoHoKam Park in Mesa tonight.
RHP Hector Mayora got the start for the Cubs and had a strong outing, allowing just one unearned run on two hits and two walks over the course of four innings (63 pitches - 40 strikes) while striking out five. Mayora struggled during Extended Spring Training, but he has pitched very well so far in four AZL appearances (13.1 IP), racking up a 1.35 ERA and 0.71 WHIP.
18-year old RHP Austin Reed (2010 12th round pick out of Rancho Cucamonga HS - Rancho Cucamonga, CA) followed Mayora to the mound, and had major control problems in his two innings of work (38 pitches - 19 strikes), walking four. He was the beneficary of two line drive DPs that got him out of jams in both innings, the latter a spectacular diving catch & throw by CF Anthony Giansanti (2010 NDFA - Siena U.) that doubled a brain-dead Dodger runner off 2nd base. Reed is a big, strong kid with electric stuff, but he was behind on every hitter and at one point threw 12 consecutive balls. He reportedly had issues with his mechanics in HS, and you can see why. Once he gets out of whack it's hard for him to recover.
The Cubs offense scored in five of their eight ABs.
With the Cubs trailing 1-0, Giansanti laid down a beautiful bunt single up the 3rd base line to open the 2nd inning, stole 2nd base, and scored on a one-out RBI double to right by Xavier Batista. Then with two outs, Dustin Harrington split the gap in right-center with an RBI triple, scoring Batista. Harrington has been playing mostly SS (the position he played in college at East Carolina) so far, but (like Brandon May) he has the thick lower-body of a 3B or catcher, and I would think he will be moved to the hot corner once a true SS arrives (assuming one does actually arrive before the end of the AZL season).
Albert Hernandez and X. Batista opened the bottom of the 4th with line drive singles and advanced a base a piece on a WP, before both runners scored on a Vismeldy Bieneme two out RBI single plus an E-9 errant throw to the plate, giving the Cubs a 4-1 lead.
Up 4-2, the Cubs scored five more runs in the bottom of the 6th, as X. Batista rapped out a lead-off single, and advanced to 2nd on an infield hit by Dustin Geiger (2010 24th round pick out of Merritt Island HS - Brevard County, FL). Geiger just reported to Mesa last week, and while the Cubs drafted him as a RF, he has been playing only 3rd base so far (3B being the position he played in HS, and where he feels most-comfortable right now). Harrington then laid-down a sac bunt that the Dodger pitcher proceeded to throw into right field, scoring Batista, with the other runners advancing to 2nd & 3rd on the overthrow. Bieneme then looped an RBI single to CF to score Geiger, and Harrington came around to score when the CF over-ran the ball, which also allowed Bieneme to move up to 2nd base. Pin-Chieh Chen walked, and after Bieneme advanced to third on a fly out, Chen stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd on the catcher's E-2 overthrow that also allowed Bieneme to score, and then Chen scored the fifth and final run of the inning on a Chad Noble one-out F-8 SF.
The Cubs scored their 10th run in the 7th when X. Batista ripped his third single (and fourth hit) of the night, advanced to 3rd base on an errant pick-off throw, and scored on a WP.
2010 20th round draft pick Ryan Cuneo (U.of Delaware) hit a solo HR over the RF fence (his 2nd AZL HR) with two outs in the bottom of the 8th to complete the Cubs scoring. Cuneo is now hitting 348/400/580 in 17 AZL games (he's 6th in the AZL in SLG, and 10th in BA).
Besides Anthony Giansanti's outstanding diving catch in CF that helped save Austin Reed's night, Dustin Geiger made a fine stop & throw at 3rd base, throwing out the Dodger lead-off hitter in the top of the 3rd.
In AZL Cubs roster news, 22-year old LHP (and ex-OF) Drew Rundle has been released. Rundle was the Cubs 14th round pick in 2006 out of Bend HS - Bend, OR, but received "over-slot" 3rd round money to give up his baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona. He was converted to a LHP at the AZ Instructional League last October after failing as a hitter (227/338/380 in 941 minor league PA 2006-09), but he just did not develop on the mound as was hoped. (Prior to October 2009, he had last pitched when he was a junior in HS).
Rumor has it that the Cubs are looking to move their Hi-A affiliate from the Florida State League to the more hitter-friendly California League. The weather in Florida is very erratic, especially once hurricane season starts in August (at one point last season the Daytona Cubs had about a week's worth of games rained out). And playing in more of a hitter's league might help the Cubs young sluggers develop more of a HR stroke than is the case for those toiling in the cavernous parks of the FSL (where long fly balls go to die).
At present there are ten teams in the California League, 12 teams in the Florida State League, and eight tems in the Carolina League (the third Hi-A league), so the Cubs moving their Hi-A affiliate from the FSL to the Califiornia League would require either expanding the California League to 12 teams (with the FSL losing two teams), or else the Cubs could replace another MLB club with an affiliate presently in the California League (perhaps the Astros in Lancaster?), with that club then transferring it's Hi-A affiliate to the Florida State League.
FWIW, the Cubs are one of only two MLB clubs with a Hi-A affiliate in the Florida State League where the MLB club does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Florida (the Milwaukee Brewers are the only other one), and the Houston Astros are the only MLB club with a Hi-A affiliate in the California League that does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Arizona.
Re: replace the Astros in Lancaster
Well, as something of a JetHawks fan I can vouch for Lancaster being a place where you can develop a HR stroke as anyone who has been at their ballpark when the wind is blowing out (basically all season long but some nights it absolutely howls) will attest.
Meanwhile, up north the Boise Hawks managed to walk 11 batters and wipe themselves and their lead out in the process.
Re: Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
FWIW, the Cubs are one of only two MLB clubs with a Hi-A affiliate in the Florida State League where the MLB club does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Florida (the Milwaukee Brewers are the only other one), and the Houston Astros are the only MLB club with a Hi-A affiliate in the California League that does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Arizona.
Of course, that may be changing soon. Now that the deadline has come and gone without Mesa/Arizona finding a funding option for the Cubs new spring training facility, the Cubs may be moving their spring training home as well as their Hi-A team to Naples.
Any news coming out of Arizona?
Re: without Mesa/Arizona finding a funding option
That's not right. Mesa found financing for the new stadium on their own after the State passed on it.
Re: Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
Phil -- Maybe you can shed some more light on this. My understanding is that Mesa's plan involves selling some land they bought several years ago for the water rights. Since they have found an alternative source for water, they no longer need the land they purchased.
However, as I understand it, the voters in Mesa are not likely to approve the funding plan whether Mesa needs the land or not. Is that true?
Re: Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
I propose the Cubs just skip spring training altogether. It certainly hasn't helped prepare our team to win in recent years. Just have the 30 or so guys fighting for the final cut show up in whatever city the day before opening day and have a dart game or throw the midget or what have you to choose the final 25.

Lackey finishes with a 3.35 ERA. Currently good for 13th in the NL. Not bad for a guy signed to be a #3 starter in a 15-team league.
He is also 6th in WHIP. Pretty amazing: Cubs have the #2, #3, #5 and #6 starters in WHIP.
Completely meaningless game, but Pena striking out Sean the Turd to with the bases loaded was very fun.
Other than one bad game in SD, Pena has been very good. Even with that game, 9.0 IP, 13 K, 0.89 WHIP.
101 wins...most since 1910 (104).

Just looked up Grimm's stats -- after a great run, he gave up 2 runs vs. MIL then didn't pitch for 10 days. Don't remember why?

it's been a while since joe's over-managed a game...it's gotta feel good for him to be back in the saddle making people's scorecards look like their pens blew up.
Fuck a bench spot on the playoff roster, Coghlan is competing to bat cleanup.
barely any...especially for an evening game. place looks 1/2 full at best to start the game.
Listening on the radio. Are there any fans in the stands at all?
"An MRI taken Monday on the right side of Jorge Soler showed no major damage."
rare air though if he can keep it under 2. Sounds like Maddon already made up his mind though and Hendricks seems like the sort that would want to earn it. Guessing he gets a quick hook if he's still under 2 after 5 innings.
Fwiw, he can give up 1 ER in 5 innings (or more) and still be under 2. If he gives up 2 ER, he would need throw 9 IP to keep it under 2. 1 ER in 4 IP would give him an ERA of exactly 2.
In terms of WAR, it's still Scherzer by a lot (6.4), then Cueto (5.6), Lester (5.5), Kershaw (5.5), Roark (5.4), and then Hendricks (5.1)
Boring lineup tonight in terms of guys trying to reach milestones -- no KB (40 HR), Addy (100 RBI) or JHey (can he keep it going?), and Lackey isn't really going for anything, plus the team has already reached 100 wins. I get the "rest" thing, although they will have 4 days off after Sunday, but....bleh.
Agree -- I think you want to keep him on a regular schedule.

there is a lot of sad music in pokemon
Hidden death? Assassinating from a hiding spot. ... Hidden blades.
On a completely unrelated note, I've finally figured out the mystery behind what irks me in AC:2, 'least I think so... The flow of the story. The transitions; as well as some of the many timeskips; don't feel right t' me at times. As every other console AC game doesn't jump around even half as much, I believe that's why I get into 'em more, despite 1 and Revelations not bein' better games overall.
Decent quality + Quantity as opposed to High Quality. Pokemon pulls off the quantity part well. You're acting like the quantity means nothing, which is dumb, considering the quantity is a big reason why Pokemon is so popular.
Yeah it's a nice overworld, but this isn't the snes era anymore. Easily outdone by other modern games. According to what the pokemon community here has said, the main reason to play Pokemon is competitiveness, although game doesn't even track those EV's or whatever they're called.
Any game series can improve. Unfortunately, Pokemon has no need to and I don't see it happening in the near future. It's popular and it's beloved by its fans. There's no reason to mess with any changes. If the games struggled in the market, they might try something new. Same with Squeenix. Damn them and their unworthy ownership of the Xenogears IP!
A Pokémon MMORPG that's actually licensed by Nintendo is something that I've always wanted. It would include every region from old installments and new, but I would mostly hang in Kanto and Johto. See? I have dreams too! :3

What is Official English?
Declaring English the official language means that official government business at all levels must be conducted solely in English. This includes all public documents, records, legislation and regulations, as well as hearings, official ceremonies and public meetings.
Official English legislation contains common-sense exceptions permitting the use of languages other than English for such things as public health and safety services, judicial proceedings, foreign language instruction and the promotion of tourism.
In 1996, U.S.ENGLISH was instrumental in passing H.R. 123, "The Bill Emerson English Language Empowerment Act of 1996." That bill, making English the official language of the U.S. government, passed in the House of Representatives with a bipartisan vote of 259-169. Unfortunately, the Senate did not act on the bill before the end of the session. Currently, U.S.ENGLISH is working with Rep. Steve King of Iowa and Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma to help pass Official English in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. H.R. 997 and S. 678, respectively, are pending in committee.
Thirty-one states have some form of official English law. Most recently, Oklahoma passed official English legislation in 2010. U.S.ENGLISH is currently working in several states to pass measures that will enact new official English bills or strengthen existing legislation.

June 9, 1923 – Jan. 31, 2013
LOCKPORT – Wesley F. Arnold, a Lockport elementary school principal for 27 years and a Lockport town justice for 26 years, died Thursday in Niagara Hospice, Lockport, where he had been since Sunday. He was 89.
Mr. Arnold was active in many community activities as well as education and government.
"He was certainly a very amazing man, the kind of person who instantly made you feel like a friend," Town Supervisor Marc R. Smith said. "It's a sad day for our town, losing such a great man."
Mr. Arnold was born in Geneseo and grew up in Avon, where he graduated from Avon High School in 1940. After two years at Geneseo State Teachers College, as it was then known, he entered the U.S. Navy in October 1942 and remained in uniform until June 1946.
During World War II, he entered the Navy's V-12 program of college educations for potential future officers. His family said Mr. Arnold was the first man in the V-12 program to be commissioner a lieutenant in the Seabees.
After leaving the service, Mr. Arnold completed his education to be a teacher, graduating from Geneseo in 1948.
He worked in Selkirk, near Albany, as a fifth- and sixth-grade teacher and then as a building principal before moving to Lockport.
After six years teaching sixth grade at Washington Hunt Elementary School in Lockport, Mr. Arnold became the principal of DeWitt Clinton Elementary School, a post he held for 20 years. After seven years as principal of Roy B. Kelley Elementary School, he retired.
Mr. Arnold became involved in local government when he was appointed to the town Zoning Board of Appeals in 1963. He later served five years as a town councilman before becoming town justice, a post he held for 26 years until retiring in 2003, at the age of 80.
His long list of community connections includes 60 years as a meber of First Presbyterian Church, where he served as an elder; 60 years as a member of Lockport's Red Jacket Lodge, where he was a past master; membership on the board of the Lockport YMCA since 1966, including served as its president from 1974 to 1994; and service on the boards of the Niagara-Orleans Auto Club and the Police and Justice Executive Conference.
Mr. Arnold was an original member of the Kenan Center from 1966 to 1968, and took part in the planning for the center.
He helped form the Lockport Teachers Federal Credit Union and served on the board of the Lockport chapter of the American Red Cross. He was a member of the Free and Accepted Masons and the Lockport Shrine Club, and he was chairman of the Elks Club Scholarship Committee. He also was a charter member of the South Lockport Fire Company Exempt Association.
Mr. Arnold was an original member of the Lockport Clowns, which performed in an annual circus. His character was called "Duke."
Working with Wayne C. Cardy, Mr. Arnold wrote a children's book called "Fun With Next to Nothing." He also was a painter, specializing in painting of wildlife.
Survivors include his wife of 67 years, the former Margaret "Etta" Gray; two daughters, Laurie Beck and Heather ; two sons, Christopher and Brian; 12 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday in First Presbyterian Church, 21 Church St.

4 Fashion Tips For Being Left Alone This Summer
Coming straight out of Brazil by way of Japan, the Jeankini combines the comfort and familiarity of jeans with the freedom and calm of complete and utter social ostracization. They call it the Jeankini, but don't think for a second that you can actually swim in these. I think they just did it because Jeankini sounds (slightly) better than "Jong" or "Horribly Misguided Trasheans." The Jeankini is really impressive, because it shows off more of a woman's butt than most pants, but not in a way that makes me want to have sex with or even talk to said woman. (Said woman can be you!)
It's so pointedly trashy it's almost offensive. I actually think the only reason it isn't offensive is because I don't know which party would have proper claim to the offense. Women can be angry because it's insulting, it looks uncomfortable and unflattering, and it has a migraine-inducingly stupid name. Men can be angry because it takes something wonderful (trampiness, most of a butt), and turns it into something cold and heartless (manufactured trampiness, not the best parts of a butt). Reserved people can be angry about its overt sexuality, sexual people can be angry about its total misunderstanding and misuse of sexuality. Everyone should want a piece of hating this.
Also it looks like the vagina might slip out as you walk. Seems like something that might bother some organization or another.
"I'm ... I'm sorry, ma'am, I'd love to keep chatting but I- I've seen everything. Just all of it."
DOB's the Fashion the Furious Advice: Buy this product if you just want to go out into the world without having to deal with the hassle of being hit on, talked to or looked at by guys everywhere. The Jeankini, in addition to looking like a Project Runway contestant's attempt to get on a government watch list, forces the wearer to liberally throw around the word "Jeankini" whenever talking about their day. I've done a lot of research into this topic, and I can say without bias that Jeankini is the most retardedly irritating portmanteau that has ever been coined (take that, bromance!). Your former friends will forever be heard talking about how much they liked that girl "before she started saying, wearing and associating herself with Jeankinis."
Those Friggin' Little Baby Hats
Here is who should wear tiny top hats:
-Action Figures;
-Baby Lords;
-Little Dogs Who Think They're Little People;
-A Man's Penis, For His Girlfriend or Wife's Birthday;
-Absolutely No One Else.
That's it. Those were the sacred and hilarious tiny top hat laws handed down to us by dapper hat scientists, and we all followed them until several months ago, when women all over the world decided "Hey, tiny hats! I want attention! Me! I'm an idiot!"
"Me! Look at me! Hat for me! Hat hat!"
It's not clear what these hats are actually intended for. Are they for women who are self-conscious about their tiny heads? Do they wear super small dick hats so their heads look larger in comparison? Is every woman who wears these hats actually covering up a little horn they don't want me to know about? Is it making some kind of statement? A statement like "I stole this hat from a Cabbage Patch doll in a tux," I guess?
We don't know. We'll never know. We just know that the perceived message is "I was dumb enough to spend real money on a hat that is both hideous and functionless, so I might be the kind of person who accidentally poops herself if you hang around me long enough. Does this tiny hat make my tiny hat look tiny? Hat hat hat!"
Fashianial Advice-brien's Buying Guide For This Clothing: When you wear something that's both hideous and useless, you can ONLY be wearing it for attention. The beautiful irony with tiny top hats, though, is that the quest for attention is so transparent that the rest of the world collectively decides to ignore you. We're not on board with your desire for attention, and we won't entertain it or validate your existence. For a woman who genuinely wears this hat for attention, this is a disaster, but for you, the woman who just wants everyone to get off her ass for a few months, tiny top hats are a golden opportunity. Buy one for every day of the week that you want the world to pretend you don't exist.

Farmers have been taking a beating in recent years dealing with climate change that freezes citrus, droughts that wither cornstalks, high fuel prices and a dysfunctional Congress that barely got its act together in time to extend the expired Farm Bill, which avoided a sharp increase in the price of milk.
Agricultural pests are another thorn in the side of generational family farmers, who have barely been eking out a living.
Bats, one of nature's elite consumers of flying pests, have been dying off by the millions from a serious epidemic known as white-nosed fungus with a 90 percent mortality rate. The little winged-creatures that most people try to avoid have an extremely vital economic role in agriculture and timber production.
Ladybugs (male and female) are small, spotted beetles that may not stack up the bat's ability to consume 1,200 bugs a day, but scientists are hoping a minor change in the diet of some species of ladybugs can induce them to eat a diet lighter on the plant side and heavier on the meat or pest side.
USDA entomologist researchers Jonathan Lundgren and Michael Seagraves were part of a team from the North Central Agricultural Research Lab in Brookings, South Dakota, that studied how a ladybug's feeding pattern is altered by available food sources. They sprayed sections of soybean fields with a sugar-like nectar and found that ladybugs preferred the sweet-treated foliage over the unsprayed plots of crops.
According to Lundgren and Seagraves, their findings make the case for sugar-feeding as a very important component of using ladybugs for bio-control agents in farm croplands and agro-ecosystems, since the little bugs also like aphids and Colorado potato beetles.
Furthermore, in a follow up study, the researchers concluded that sugar-fed ladybugs increased their survival rate and they were able to produce more eggs than their prey-only counterparts.
Ladybugs, once called lady birds, are prolific around the world, with over 5,000 species, including 450 in North America.
The harlequin ladybug is an example of how the petite beetle can sometimes be less beneficial, because it was brought over from Asia in 1916 to control aphids and has been known to overpopulate in areas where natural enemies are few, including wasps that eat their eggs.
Unlike common perceptions, the spots on a ladybug's back doesn't indicate its age, but are used to identify the species along with other characteristics, like overall color.
The use of natural control agents in agriculture can save farmers a lot of money that would otherwise have to be spent on pesticides, with the cost passed on to the consumer.
Plus, the cute little ladybug scamps are much better for the environment.

Describes the type of male pattern baldness in which the top of the head is completely bald except for a ring of hair from ear to ear, much like gargamel on the cartoon series the smurfs. A gargamulllet is a similar style in which the individual would grow said hair into a pony tail, it is the equivalent to the skullet

Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are standard of care for reducing the risk of skeletal-related events (SREs) in pts with bone metastases from solid tumours or bone lesions from MM. Several BPs have also demonstrated anticancer activity in preclinical models. With the highest level of activity among approved BPs, ZOL has shown anticancer activity in preclinical and clinical studies in various cancer types, including MM. Of note, in pts with early breast cancer, ZOL improved disease-free survival by 36% (P = 0.01) vs endocrine therapy alone (Gnant, et al. NEJM. 2009). Among other endpoints, the MRC Myeloma IX Study investigated effects of ZOL vs clodronate (CLO) on SREs, progression-free survival (PFS), and OS in MM pts.
Methods: Newly diagnosed MM pts were randomised to ZOL (4 mg q 21-28 days) or CLO (1,600 mg q day) plus antimyeloma therapy. Treatment continued at least until disease progression.
Results: Of 1,970 pts randomised, 1,960 were evaluable, with a median follow-up of 3.7 yrs. To date, approximately 75% of pts have stayed on treatment until disease progression. The median time on treatment for the 25% of discontinued pts was 156 days (CLO) and 270 days (ZOL). ZOL reduced the proportion of pts with an SRE vs CLO (27.0% vs 35.3%, respectively; P = 0.0004). ZOL-treated pts showed 5.5 months' prolonged OS (50 vs 44.5 months, respectively; P= 0.0118) and 2 months greater PFS (19.5 vs 17.5 months, respectively; P= 0.0179) versus CLO. Of note, the OS benefit with ZOL was maintained after adjustment for potential effects of SREs on survival. After time to first SRE was included as a time-dependent covariate in a Cox model, ZOL maintained OS benefits (P= 0.0178). Both BPs were generally well-tolerated, and deterioration in renal function was similar between treatment groups. The incidence of confirmed osteonecrosis of the jaw was also low (ZOL, 3.5%; CLO, 0.3%).
Conclusions: The results demonstrate a beneficial effect of ZOL on survival, in addition to superior SRE prevention versus CLO, in pts with MM. Moreover, survival benefits associated with ZOL seem to be independent of SRE prevention, suggesting that ZOL may improve survival through anticancer activity.

October 2011
In This Issue:
Monthly Benefits to Increase 3.6 Percent
Social Security has announced a 3.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2012. The 3.6 percent COLA will begin with benefits that nearly 55 million Social Security beneficiaries receive in January 2012. Increased payments to more than eight million SSI beneficiaries will begin on December 30, 2011.
Other changes that take effect in January are based on the increase in average wages: for example, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax will increase to $110,100 from $106,800.
Learn more about the 2012 COLA at www.socialsecurity.gov.gov/pressoffice/pr/2012cola-pr.html.

Disability Benefits Expedited for 13 Immune System and Neurological Disorders
Social Security is adding 13 new conditions involving the immune system and neurological disorders to the list of Compassionate Allowances.
The Compassionate Allowances program fast-tracks disability decisions to ensure that Americans with the most serious disabilities receive their benefit decisions within days instead of months or years.
"Social Security handles more than three million disability applications each year, and we need to keep innovating and making our work more efficient," Commissioner Michael J. Astrue said. "With our Compassionate Allowances program, we quickly approved disability benefits for more than 60,000 people with severe disabilities in the past fiscal year."
For more information on the Compassionate Allowances initiative, and to see a list of the 13 new conditions, please read the press release at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/ss-expands-compassionate-allowances.html.
Social Security Ranks as one of the Best-Managed Agencies
Social Security ranks as one of the top agencies in the Federal government, according to the 2011 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. The survey, conducted by the Office of Personnel Management, measured responses from more than 250,000 Federal employees across the nation.
"This survey confirms what many of us already know: Social Security is a wonderful place to work," said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security.
The survey is a government-wide assessment of Federal employees' job satisfaction and perceptions of their agency. The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey measures employees' perceptions of whether, and to what extent, conditions that characterize successful organizations are present in their agencies.
To learn more about the report, please go to www.fedview.opm.gov.
The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) has recognized the team responsible for the Social Security's Electronic Claims Analysis Tool (eCAT) as a Federal best practice and a model of innovative collaboration.
What is eCAT? A tool that documents the evaluation process for disability claims. The tool helps in documenting, analyzing, and adjudicating disability applications, allowing a reviewer to understand the actions and conclusions throughout the process all in an electronic folder.
Learn more about eCAT and ACUS at the ACUS website. www.acus.gov/best-practices/agency-best-practices/social-security-administration-ssa.
Social Security Field Offices Closed on Nov. 25
On Friday, November 25th all Social Security field offices will be closed to the public. Employees who work the day after Thanksgiving will focus on backlog reduction.
Please remind your constituents that Social Security's online office at www.socialsecurity.gov is open every day of the year. Individuals can conduct many Social Security services online without the need to visit a local office. That includes applying for benefits, signing up for direct deposit, replacing a Medicare card, requesting a proof of income letter, or informing us of a change of address or telephone number. Members of the public also can find many services and up-to-date information by calling, toll free, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 was released in the theater in Japan this summer. Will the US get it in a theater or two, or will we just get that and Innocence on BluRay sometime this winter? And when does it come out on BlyRay?
I really hope they'll bring it to theaters, im lucky enough to have a theater only about a 20 minute drive from my place that shows the movies that bigger theaters dont bother too, liek the Death note movie and the Bleach: memories of nobody. GITS 2.0 hopefully will be badass =) "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
I really hope it does come to the major theathers seeing how I don't have any of those minor theathers that show those other kind of movies near me. Other wise its another 30 or so bucks down the drain for just one veiwing.
I already thought it was out LOL! Well, it's a good thing to know that it isnt so I can watch it when it does come out! ^^"Bust through the heveans with your Drill!
whats the status of the english release? "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
