What kind of object is this R variable, anyway?
Numerous ideas here, with the first being:
R> typeof(something)
In other news, I've decided to just start posting all the questions I end up looking up, since I often have to find them again, and I believe in "upvoting" them for posterity.
oh yeah!
Run a sequence of SQL statements in a script and spit the output to a file:

virtualbox -- assigning multiple cores to guest without hardware virtualization?
Q: Hey pedro, I have an old server with multiple cores, but without AMD-v or VT-x. Can I give a guest machine access to more than one of those CPU cores?
A: No. You need AMD-v or VT-x to assign more than one core to a guest machine.
looking for volunteers to donate their web data to SCIENCE!
Do you know what network sniffers like Ethereal or Wireshark are? Do you like SCIENCE? Would you be willing to surf the web UNENCRYPTED and UNCOMPRESSED for about an hour (or so) and send me, a trustworthy individual, captures of the data you downloaded? If so, please read on.
If you don't know what Wireshark is or how to get it, you're not really sure what I'm talking about, how it would work technically, or you DO understand very well thankyouverymuch and are horrified or unwilling to do so because of security or privacy concerns, thank you, but you can stop reading now.
Still reading? Cool!
I'm working on a research project involving the properties of web data in the real world. It would be super convenient if I could just browse the web all day and use my own data for my experiments... unfortunately, I can't assume that the way I use the web is typical, so I need other people out in the world to surf the web and send me the logs of the data they viewed. I will perform analysis on the data, which *probably* won't require me to look at the data. (I can tell you more about my research if you are interested, but I don't want to post about it here.)
Does this sound like a privacy risk? It is. But, it's not as bad as it sounds. (If I thought I was putting you at risk, I wouldn't ask.) I need the full contents of the data you view through the browser, but I don't need or want you to do anything sensitive like do your online banking, email, Facebook, or researching that mole on your arm on WebMD.
Chances are, there's a lot of other stuff you do online that isn't normally encrypted and doesn't fall into the category of "highly personal" (unless you think everything you do is highly personal). That's exactly the kind of data I want. Still, there is a risk in saving your web data and sending it to me, since there could always be some unexpectedly private information in there. This SHOULD make you think twice... so no hard feelings if you just don't want to do it.
If you're still willing, I promise you that I will make every effort to keep the contents of your data private. In *most* cases I should not even need to examine the contents of the data, no one else will be given copies of it, and I will destroy it after my experiments. My analysis is mostly statistical and numerical in nature -- sizes of files, how long they would take to transfer over a network, etc. NO names of websites, IP addresses, content or anything like that will be revealed in my papers or graphs. There should be no way to personally identify that you contributed to my research.
Still willing to help?
Here's the process I would need you to go through. These instructions are for Firefox only:
1. Quit all open Firefox windows, and restart it. Open your preferences. Under Advanced | Network, clear your "web content cache".
2. Next, we need to disable encryption, because I can't analyze the properties of data if it is encrypted. (Don't worry, we'll arrange a way for you to transfer me the data in an encrypted fashion.)
In Preferences | Advanced, under Encryption, *uncheck* "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0". Yes, again, I am asking you to DISABLE YOUR ENCRYPTION. This is a necessary step, but I will personally remind you to re-enable encryption when you send me your data.
3. Next, I need you to disable compression. In the "address bar" of Firefox, enter "about:config" and hit enter. It will (probably) print a warning about how this could ruin your browser, but what we are doing is safe and reversible. In the search window, type "encoding", which will limit the configuration lines to those that match.
Right-click on the line for the preference "network.http.accept-encoding". Look for the an option "Reset", which should be grayed out if you have not changed the setting. If it is NOT grayed out, then you have changed the setting. If it does not exist, you are using an old version of Firefox. Either way, write down the setting for that preference (the default is probably: "gzip, deflate").
Double-click on the entry, erase the text, and confirm the change.
4. Now, start Wireshark (or Ethereal if you are using that). On the upper left side of the corner (probably under the "Edit" menu) there is an icon of a network card with a wrench on it. Click it. This will configure the capture settings. We need to do four thigns: a) choose the interface, b) limit the capture to web traffic, c) limit the capture size, and d) start the capture. Here's how to do that:
a) Select the network card you are using -- probably eth0 if you are using a wired connection and wlan0 if you are using wireless.
b) Then, in the Capture Filter field, type "tcp port 80". This will limit the captured traffic to web data only.
c) Next, on the bottom left, check the box to "Stop capture ... after" a certain number of megabytes. I would prefer 25 or 50 megabytes of data.
d) Finally, click Start. Wireshark will begin logging web traffic.
5. Start surfing! Don't do anything sensitive like online banking or anything personal, but otherwise please just use the web as you normally do. You may notice that you can't access certain sites like Gmail or Facebook with SSL disabled. That's OK. As Han said to Chewie, "Fly Casual".
6. Wireshark will stop capturing data automatically, but you may want to periodically look at it to see if it is still capturing data.
Once the data has hit the limit and stopped (you can see that the packet count at the bottom of the application will stop growing when you load new pages), save the data.
To do this, click File | Save As, and save the file as "whatever_you_want.pcap". Then, contact me at email@example.com and I will give you instructions for delivering me the data via SSH or your delivery method of choice.
7. FINALLY, remember to turn encryption and compression back on:
a) Preferences | Advanced | Encryption -- enable SSL and TLS
b) Enter "about:config" in the address bar, search for encoding, and right click on "network.http.accept-encoding" and select "Reset" -- or double click and enter whatever you wrote down previously.
Thank you! Your help will hopefully help make computers more efficient someday, and it will definitely make a tangible contribution towards me graduating!

paper cut: adding nautilus folder bookmarks in Ubuntu 12.04
You used to be able to drag and drop folders to the "bookmarks" pane in Nautilus... but you can't any more. At least, I can't. However, you can add bookmarks using control-D -- from within the folder you wish to bookmark.
hey, I should do^H^H^H^H see if someone has done that
So you're diving through folders, looking for some files or data. Of course you're using Nautilus since you're running GNU/Linux and Gnome*. You get to your file, "ah ha, you found it" only to realize that you really wish you had a command line to slice and dice the file. What you'd love is to be able to just "open a terminal here". I just had that experience, and like usual (thanks to the long tail), someone else has already done this. If you're using Ubuntu (or possibly Debian) you can simply 'apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal'. Enjoy!

Chinese literature, the body of works written in Chinese, including lyric poetry, historical and didactic writing, drama, and various forms of fiction.
Chinese literature is one of the major literary heritages of the world, with an uninterrupted history of more than 3,000 years, dating back at least to the 14th century bce. Its medium, the Chinese language, has retained its unmistakable identity in both its spoken and written aspects in spite of generally gradual changes in pronunciation, the existence of regional and local dialects, and several stages in the structural representation of the written graphs, or "characters."

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's liver and fatty tissues. Vitamin D acts as both a vitamin and a hormone.
Vitamin D is found in some foods, but the main sources are vitamin D-fortified milk and sunlight. The ultraviolet rays of the sun react with cholesterol present in the skin and create previtamin D3. This compound goes through a series of reactions in the kidneys and the liver, and the final product is vitamin D.
Vitamin D's functions:
In children with low vitamin D levels, supplementation can improve bone mineral density. While the evidence does not give a clear answer, it has also been suggested that vitamin D supplementation may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer.
Vitamin D has also been found to improve pain symptoms in patients with low vitamin D levels.
Here are the guidelines for vitamin D intake:
|Age Group
|Recommended Dietary Allowance or Adequate Intake (IU/Day)
|0-12 months
|1-70 years
|71+ years
|Pregnant or nursing women
IU: international units
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends supplementation for all children who do not receive at least 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Breastfed babies may require a supplement within the first few days of life. Bottle-fed babies who do not consume enough vitamin-D fortified formula may also need the supplement, as well as any child who does not get plenty of vitamin D in their diet.
As seen above, requirements for pregnant women are the same as for healthy adults, though some believe that pregnant mothers should take more vitamin D than recommended. Furthermore, some experts believe that people at highest risk for vitamin D deficiency, such as older adults or those with limited sun exposure during the winter months, should take 1,000 IU or more daily. However, since the risk of vitamin D toxicity increases with higher doses, such recommendations ought to be discussed individually with a physician.
Symptoms of overt vitamin D deficiency are rare today, but can include the following:
More mild vitamin D deficiency is thought to be relatively common, especially in higher latitudes, and may lead to increased risk of osteoporosis.
Since vitamin D is stored in the body and not excreted in the urine like most water-soluble vitamins, it is possible for it to accumulate and reach toxic levels. Here are safe upper level intakes for vitamin D:
|Age Group
|Upper Level Intake (IU/Day)
|0-6 months
|7-12 months
|1-3 years
|4-8 years
|9 years and older
|Pregnant or nursing women
Symptoms of toxicity:
It is unlikely for sunlight and diet to cause vitamin D toxicity.
If you have problems with any symptoms related to vitamin D toxicity, take less vitamin D supplements.
Fortified foods provide the most vitamin D. Examples of foods that may be fortified with vitamin D are:
There are not many foods that are natural sources of vitamin D. Of those foods that have vitamin D naturally are (most to least):
A relatively small amount of sun exposure can provide adequate vitamin D. In a study of naval personnel in submarines, 6 days of sun exposure proved capable of supplying enough vitamin D for 49 sunless days. However, the actual synthesis of vitamin D through sunlight is affected by season, latitude, time of day, cloud cover, smog, use of sunblock, and skin pigmentation.
The following populations may be at risk for vitamin D deficiency and may require a supplement:
Here are tips to help increase your intake of vitamin D:

On the occasion of their third wedding anniversary, my mother made a 78 rpm record for my father. Although the sound quality is very poor, you will be able to hear her voice, and--oh, my!--she sounds so young!
After a short intro, I recognized the lines of a poem. I was able to find several versions of it online, which enabled me to create the following transcription despite the fact that you can barely hear some of the words as she reads them.
Today is January 5th, 1949.This poem is said to have been written by Roy Croft. I tried to find out more about him, but no one seems to know for sure who he is or was. Research librarian Ted Nesbitt discusses Roy Croft at AllExperts.com.
Just three short years ago we were married,
and now we have Linda to share our happiness
and make our anniversary even more complete.
For you, darling, I have a special message:
I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you are making of yourself,
but for what you are making of me.
I love you for that part of me that you bring out.
I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart
and passing over all the foolish and frivolous and weak things
you could not help dimly seeing there,
and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful and radiant qualities
that no one else had looked quite deep enough to find.
I love you for ignoring the possibility of the fool in me,
and for laying hold of the possibility for good.
I love you for closing your ears to the discords in me,
and for adding to the harmony in me by reverent listening.
I love you because you are helping me
to make of the structure of my life not a tavern, but a temple;
and out of the words of my every day, not a reproach, but a song.
I love you because you have done
more than any creed could have done to make me good,
and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.
You have done all this just by being yourself
and I love you very much.
Interestingly, Wikipedia has an article entitled Roycroft, about the Roycroft community and movement of the late 19th and early 20th century. Having read that and Nesbitt's comments, I have my own little speculation on the subject. I think "Roy Croft" may have been either a pen name of Elbert Hubbard or a misunderstood attribution to his "Roycroft Press" publishing company. But you probably ought not to quote me on that! I'm just sayin'! And I don't have time to research it myself. Dear reader, you are welcome to do so at will and report back!

Ms Nandita Singh, editor, BioSpectrum Asia
Is China bioscience slowing down? From the numbers that have been put together by the BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Bioscience Industry Survey 2013, it does look so. However, a little deeper look clearly shows that China is not slowing down but just stabilizing and assimilating its awesome growth of last decade, and preparing for the next phase.
Recently, the government in China announced its decision to up healthcare spending to seven percent of its GDP from an earlier 5.5 percent. This spend will total over $1 trillion by 2020. Furthemore, it is said, that the country has already spent over $100 billion in an effort to extend public health insurance cover to 95 percent of its population.
Additionally, in 2013, according to China government estimates, about $40 billion is slated to be spent as healthcare expenditure. With the kind of latent demand that this market has, China is not expected to lose its sheen anytime soon, for at least another decade. The policy level initiatives are meant to give it a push.
This push is bringing results. This is evident from the fact that in the last six-to-seven months a number of MNCs have actually expanded into China, either by establishing a direct presence, collaborating with Chinese companies or by entering into licensing or sales and distribution deals. The market is abuzz and buoyant with such tidings.
US-based ConjuChem, which is engaged in discovery of novel therapeutics, formed a joint venture (JV) with China's Changshan Pharma, valued at $3 million. Similarly, US-based Promega opened its new facility in Shanghai for its China operations that provides additional R&D and cGMP manufacturing capabilities for molecular diagnostics products for the Chinese market.

Medieval browser MMO with historical kingdoms, the player become a citizen of one of these, along with other players. All roles are played by real players (from a peasant to the king). Sandbox style game. It is NOT WARGAME, while players can fight as groups in kingdom wars there is no raiding other players OF ANY KIND (no farming nobs possible at all). Also players do not have armies, they always are individual warriors that fight in battles of their kingdom (or not).
http://www.europe1300.eu (playable)
Related topic: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/610162-medieval-mmo-stuck-in-design/
What works well
There is stamina that replenish over time, it works as action points. You use it to gather resources (wood, clay, stone, etc) to work on fields (various crops and livestock) and to craft things (one need to decide what kind of workshop he/she runs). Then these goods can be sold on the market (the market works much better than I would imagine, proper supply/demand and while the player can speculate a bit it is not gamebreaking for sure) for gold. These goods are either bought by other players or by NPCs (consumption).
That part is quite good, but it's not enough. There is not enough to do. Also, it feels artificial because the player does not need any resources for himself (just a few building materials to increase their estate, halfproducts for their workshops and gold).
What works less
Social standing and politics
It's hard to tell how good that part is beacause ther is just a few testers, but I think it's decent. You have influence (from estates/level/etc), it determine your voting power. Then there is election of a king (and please, don't tell me it was not like that in medieval times, because there were countries with elected kings back then and in almost all other the nobles were the real power that had a lot to say who is to become a king). It's not democratic, the more powerful players have unproportional number of votes (so the real choice is made by top nobles in a kingdom while peasants input is minimal). Then the king can distribute offices (most likely to those who supported him) and wage wars with other kingdoms.
A king can delare a war on another kingdom, then start a battle. All players (citizens of a kingdom) can go to the battlefield and fight. The is no such thing as a kingdom army, the king need to relay only on individual players. If the lowest rank players do not like their king they might not want to fight and the king can do nothing about it.
The sucessful battle determines the prestige of a kingdom (based on difference between the kingdoms, attacking much weaker ones yelds nothing). Also a bit of gold form the kingdom treasury (not player's personal purse!) can go to the victor. A kingdom can never be conquered not lose any territory. That part is not working too well...
Planned stuff (no clue if it will work)
City communal buildings
Each player is a citizen of a certain kingdoms (some kingdoms have just one city, but usually around 3). Each city has a mayor (office granted by the king) who can start constructing buildings (town hall, church, port, arsenal, city walls). Once a construction is started it woudl display a list of needs and indiviudal players would donate these. Those who donated these would get reputation points which gives influence bonus.
Players can take certain clergy roles (both commoners: nun, monk, priest and nobles: abbot, bishop, archbishop). All clergy from all kingdoms can vote on Cardinals (only a noble clergy can become a cardinal). There would be like 5 cardinals total (everywhere, not per kingdom), then cardinals elect the Pope (that player has to reside on Papal States kingdom, as its ruler). Papal States is a special kingdom, it can not wage wars and no one can attack it. The Pope have certain power over kingdoms (can excomunicate a ruler, give a blessing) and can build monastyrs anywhere (the only building that is not erected by city mayors).
My problems and questions
Well, the premise is nice, thematicaly it's very good, also the economy part is working. Surprisingly the social hierarchy is balanced (the king of France abdicated and became a peasant moving to Kingdom of Norway saying "it is too much of a hassle to be a ruler"! I was shocked ), the low rank role players do not feel as underdogs (and to my surprise not everyone wants to be a king, there are merchants, craftsmen, etc, even though the king slots are sometimes not fully occupied ). But overall the game is lacking. There is not much to do for individual players (non kings). Everytime I try to expand I struggle because there is simply not enough varibles to work with (you have stamina which you exchange to goods, the goods sold for gold, then gold can be exchanged to influence and influence means political power). Something is seriously missing there...

Visiting professor at Binghamton University to discuss the greening of Asia
Kenneth Koon Kwai Wong, visiting professor of Asian Studies at Binghamton University, will explore globalization and environmental transformation, with particular reference to Chinese and Asian cities, in a public lecture at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 12, in room AAG 007 of the Academic A building on the Binghamton University campus. The lecture, titled "The Greening of the Chinese Mind: Environmental Awareness and the Emergence of NGOs in China," is free and open to the public.
Wong holds the position of Associate Head and Associate Professor in the Geography Department at Hong Kong Baptist University. He will teach at Binghamton University for a one-year period. No stranger to upstate New York, Wong received his master's degree from Syracuse University in geography and his doctorate from the College of Environmental Science and Forestry at the State University of New York at Syracuse College in 1989.
While his research interests fall within broad areas of environmental concerns, Wong's special focus is on the human and policy dimensions of sustainable development, human adjustments to natural hazards, urban green space, environmental values, concerns and perceptions, and environmental education. His most recent focus has been towards cross-cultural analysis of environmental issues and on the relationship between globalization and environmental transformation, with particular reference to Chinese and Asian cities.
For more information, contact Fran Goldman, assistant to the director of the Asian and Asian American Studies Program at 777-4938.

UEFI BootkitsThe Register covered a story on a UEFI-based attack on Windows 8. It's actually covering this technical writeup, which is a discussion of a proof of concept implementation of an attack on the Windows 8 kernel from the firmware environment. The first approach they describe is pretty straightforward, in that they simply patch the Windows bootloader directly. Since this is what's reading the kernel off disk and launching it, patching that code means you can modify the kernel in-place and run it with built-in privilege elevation exploits.
The second approach is a little more interesting, and is based on their observation that the UEFI ExitBootServices() function is called after the kernel is loaded but before it's executed. UEFI calls are simply function pointers, so if you can run code in the firmware environment it's trivial to simply replace the function pointer with one to code of your own which does whatever you want before calling the original code. This makes it pretty straightforward to add a hook that gets run when ExitBootServices() is called, finds the kernel, patches it and then continues on its way. Since the kernel is patched after it's been read, this gets around any kind of signature checking that the bootloader might carry out.
But both these cases have something in common: they rely on the ability to run arbitrary code in the firmware environment, and that's precisely the thing that UEFI Secure Boot prevents. A system with a correct implementation of Secure Boot isn't vulnerable to the described attacks, but it's fairly unsurprising that running UEFI without Secure Boot is vulnerable. UEFI on its own doesn't provide any additional security. You're as vulnerable to bootkits as you are with BIOS.
So this isn't really a story about a surprising vulnerability. It's a story about someone taking the logical step of implementing a bootkit on top of UEFI, which is what everyone should have been expecting all along. Computers that are configured to run arbitrary code will run arbitrary code, and if that arbitrary code happens to modify your kernel so your credit card details are automatically posted to pastebin, well, that's a plausible outcome.

Barium Enema
Barium is a milky fluid that absorbs x-rays. Barium is placed into the bowels through the rectum. This is called an enema. Barium coats the lining of the lower intestines. This makes that area easier to see on an X-ray.
Barium Enema
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
You may have a barium enema to look for problems in your lower intestines. Some things your doctor may be looking for include:
- Abnormal growths (eg, polyps, cancers)
- Ulcers
- Diverticula (small pouches in the wall of the large intestine)
- Thickening of the lining of the large intestine
Complications are rare. Some may have an allergic reaction to the barium or latex of the tube. Talk to your doctor about any allergies you may have.
Prior to Test
Tell your doctor if you are allergic to latex or barium.
Your intestines must be empty before this test. Your doctor may ask you to:
- Eat a clear liquid diet.
- Take laxatives.
- Use a warm water or over-the-counter enema.
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
Description of Test
The doctor will gently insert a well-lubricated enema tube into your rectum. You may be given an injection to relax the rectum. Barium will be inserted through the tube. A small balloon at the end of the tube will be inflated. This balloon keeps the barium inside. The doctor will move you several times to make sure the barium coats the walls of the colon and rectum. A small amount of air will be inserted through the tube. The doctor will take a series of X-rays. After this, the enema tube will be removed.
After Test
After the test, you:
- Will be shown to the bathroom to pass the barium and may be given a laxative
- May feel mild-to-moderate abdominal cramping and may need to wait before driving home
- Can return to your regular diet unless your doctor tells you not to
- Can return to regular activities when you feel ready
- Should drink lots of fluids (barium can cause dehydration)

NJ bear hunt set for December
Hunters in New Jersey are preparing to take on black bears. New Jersey will allow bear hunting from December 9-14 in certain parts of the state.
The state says the hunting is to control the bear population, but some people think there are other ways to manage the animals.
"The population is growing to the point where it's causing problems," said Larry Herrighty, the assistant director of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife. "We're looking to manage the population. We have a population that was as low as 50 animals in the 1970s."
Hunters with the proper permits and licenses can hunt for those six days in certain zones that are north of Route 78 and west of Route 287.
The Sierra Club doesn't support the hunt.
"Not because we're an animal rights group or we're necessarily opposed to hunting," said New Jersey Sierra Club Director Jeff Tittel. "We believe until there's an appropriate bear management plan in place that includes education, protection of habitat, dealing with food and garbage issues as well as using some non-legal methods, we won't support a hunt."
Tittel said a hunt would be warranted if other management techniques didn't work.
"We believe a hunt without a real management plan is just an excuse for a hunt and does nothing to deal with problem bears," Tittel added.
Herrighty said there are research and education efforts on the part of the state.
"We have staff that goes to schools and townships, teach people how to live in bear country, give them the do's and don'ts of garbage management," he said. "We put out millions of pieces of literature in the mail, we typically work with towns when bears start showing up in the towns."
69 News asked people in New Jersey what they think of the issue.
"I really don't feel they need to do this. We took over their land, we should let them live, either that or move them where they need to be," said Trish Kleiman of Lopatcong Township.
Matthew Raulf of Stewartsville said "I don't really care one way or another but I don't really like hunting that much anyway. I think it's kind of dangerous for people to carry guns and shoot."
"If they're going to use it for the meat I guess then it's okay," he added.
Alex David of Milford said, "If they're causing problems I can understand we need to take care of it but if there's just a lot of them I don't see what the issue is."
"It really doesn't bother me because I know black bears are dangerous and there's a lot of children around and I wouldn't want my son to encounter one in the backyard," said Alison Poerner of Three Bridges. "Mama bears are always protective of their cubs and I wouldn't want my son to encounter a cub and then be mauled by its mother."

This Is Your Global Food Supply On Climate Change
August 11th, 2012 | by Steve Savage
OK, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think that this year's climate extremes are linked to human-caused climate change. We might not really have the definitive answer on whether that is true for 20 years, but I would like nothing better than to be proven wrong about the linkage I'm making today. From a global food supply perspective, the effects of weather on 2012 food production is problematic no matter what its cause. As bad as it seems, it might just be a "shot over the bow" relative to what me might expect in the future.

which Targets OC47150? Louisville or Indiana?
which Targets OC47150? Louisville or Indiana?
May the force be with You!!!!!
Sorry 'bout that. The New Albany and Clarksville. The last I checked, the New Albany one had all four sets, while Clarksville only had the Hoth and battle arena sets, which surprised me. I thought the battle arena set would be gone.
Hit the usual places in Terre Haute around lunchtime today.
Nothing new at Wal-Mart except for the 2003 LEGO; only two sets left - the T-16 Skyhopper and one of the small Jabba's Palace sets. No Holiday Edition. I'll keep trying at the small town WMs around here that set.
TRU had lots of Clone Pilots and Destroyer Droids, plus four Jedi Council Yodas. This is the first time I've seen DD and Council Yoda around here. I'm sure they probably had Ephants too, but those were likely the first to go. TRU didn't have any '03 SW LEGO surprisingly, which would be sweet with their BOGO 50% sale.
Came home to find my LEGO MINI TIE Fighter in the mail. Thanks to SSG for the heads up on that promo a few weeks ago. I was one of the few (5000?) that was able to register for this set. The TIE Fighter comes in a small polybag. It came in a nice little mailer box with a small poster depicting the Battle of Hoth, complete with MINI AT-STs, AT-ATs and Snowspeeders.
The New Albany Target had plenty of the accessory sets, except the Endor one. I bought the last one. I'm surprised at the number of DS sets warming the pegs. I guess everyone has what they want!
Another shocker: No figures! The pegs were all empty. Guess the trucks are bringing figures.
I just received my Holiday Edition that I bought on eBay. For those that have this set, how is the bottom of the package usually sealed? Mine has tape up the side near the bottom and then two pieces of tape on the bottom. Is this normal?
I sighted three LEGO AT-TE's at TRU in Terre Haute yesterday, but they were gone this morning. I've seen every new LEGO SW set except for the MINIs. They also put out a cage full of older SAGA figs.
WM in Terre Haute has shelf space labled for the LEGO MINI sets, but there were none. They also had the Trash Compactor sets. No new figures. The clearance aisle had 12", Slave 1s, and LEGO Technic Star Wars sets, but I'm waiting for the prices to go down. I still need all of the AOTC vehicles and playset, but I'm not buying until they're less than half price.
The TRU had older Ep I stuff on clearance. A few Naboo Starfighters, DM and Speeder, and Anakin's Podracer, plus some other crap from that line. No new figures here either.
KB... yeah right.
The WM in Paris IL had quite a few of the Trash Compactor sets. Their clearance prices were higher than in Terre Haute.
The WM in Clinton IN had Trash Compactor sets. Clearance prices still not sweet enough for me yet.
Came home empty handed, but with a full wallet.
Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
The New Albany WM had the compactor sets, a few Lott Dodds and a large selection of the last wave of 12" figures.
Terre Haute, IN -
Picked up the Ultra Wampa with Hoth Cave and C-3PO with Escape Pod at Wal-Mart for $9.96 each. Last two that I could see. 3PO was with the other SW figs, but the Wampa was making a home behind some boxes of ride-on toys near the bikes.
Found Ultra General Rieekan with Hoth Tactical Screen at TRU for $10.99. This TRU had many of the Ultra figures on the shelves. I also broke down and bought the repack Princess Leia Imp Captive.
Suncoast had the new Unleashed, this is the first time I've seen Yoda and Boba Fett. Pretty cool statues, but I passed on them. This store also had all of the Clone Wars deluxe sets.
KB seems to finally be selling out of the older Saga figures, so hopefully they'll be putting out some of the newer releases.
Terre Haute -
TRU had many Clone Wars figures yesterday and earlier SAGA wave with Hoth Han, Mynock Hunt Chewie, and Boba Fett Pit of Carkoon, etc. Went ahead and picked up a second Fett for an opener. Should have bought another Chewie for the Mynock.
Found Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto at Wal-Mart today. They had three Saesee and one Kit. No SA Clone Trooper though.
Wished TRU still had more LEGO AT-ATs since I have a 20% off coupon to use before the 13th.
Marshall (IL) -
This town's Super WM did not have anything new yesterday, just last year's SAGA figs clogging the pegs. Did find some other Christmas gifts there so the trip wasn't a total loss.
Terre Haute -
TRU had Kit, Saesee, and SA Clone Trooper. I picked up 2 Troopers and a Kit and Saesee. I believe these are the last new figures for this year. Some other '03 figs TRU had were Darth Throwing Lightsaber and Luke Throne Room, Snowtrooper, Hoth Han, and Carkoon Fett.
Also picked up a LEGO AT-AT with a 20% TRU coupon.

I'm happy to say since my training for the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge began a month ago I've already had my first convert to the code of cycling. After seeing his mum regularly venture out on her bike, my 12-year-old son Jack appears to have caught the cycling bug, and this weekend, tackled a 20km ride with me - very successfully might I add. He's even making noises about training for a 40km leg of the race, which fills me with pride. I'm already having visions of us crossing the finish line together - we'll be punching the air in triumph as we grin in admiration at each other. However the reality could be quite different if our training run is anything to go by - Jack will undoubtedly race off ahead of me and sail over the finish line leaving me in his wake. But a mum can dream can't she?
Daydreams aside, my training is coming along nicely. I've conquered my fear of bad weather. I'd been so used to my hefty mountain bike that riding in strong wind on my light as a feather hybrid was a little disconcerting - but I've adjusted to it quickly. A cycling friend of mine suggested getting out in bad weather as much as possible so, come race day, you're ready for anything.
Great advice that.
This weekend I met up with my trainer, ace cyclist Amy Taylor. Amy's day job is development manager for Bike NZ but she's also an experienced coach and author of the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge Guide. This nifty little book is not just a training guide for the Taupo race, but could easily be used as a Bible for any newbie rider. It covers everything from getting the right gear, technique, nutrition, recovery and planning for a race.
Amy focused on three basic elements during our session - pedalling, posture and breathing. We also touched on nutrition at my request - any excuse to discuss food!
Rather than pedalling from the knees, push from the glutes though the quads - Amy says you'll get more power that way. By putting the ball of your foot on the pedal and pointing your toes through a 12-noon to 6pm position on the pedal stroke, you'll maximise on the potential of your calf muscles. Many riders make the mistake of keeping their ankle in a fixed position (be it toes pointed or flat footed), but this means the muscles don't change length and aren't being used.
Riding style and posture
Overall, Amy says I have a good riding style - which is a pleasant surprise to me as I wasn't aware I had one. She recommends having a still torso and trying not to rock from side to side when riding (a common problem, especially when tackling a hill). Always look forward during a hill climb rather than hunching down into the foetal position - another common problem. I admit, once I'm in the correct position, I instantly feel my tummy muscles tighten - that's a good thing.
Amy says belly breathing (deep, regulated breathing that fills up your lungs) is most effective because it helps disperse the lactic acid that builds up in your muscles when you exercise. Lactic acid brings on fatigue and muscle soreness. Amy says shallow breathing is very common but counter-productive especially under the pressure of exercise, because it inhibits the flow of oxygen throughout the body.
Amy and I spoke at length about nutrition, which I'll focus on in my next blog. What to consume before, during and after a ride can make all the difference to a cyclist's efficiency and aid a quicker recovery.

For the monitoring of wholesale energy markets, the Regulation on Wholesale Energy Markets Integrity and Transparency (REMIT) aims to establish a sector-specific legal structure to highlight and deter market manipulation.
This revolutionary step means that energy trading will be scrutinised at EU level to monitor for abuses and ill-discipline, and should lead to more trusted and effective energy markets – thus regaining the confidence of both consumers and participants. It is the first time that an EU-wide framework has been established to define, monitor and investigate market abuse.
ACER, the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, will be involved at all levels once REMIT is in place and will follow the principles below:
1) ACER will be responsible for collating and analysing the wholesale markets and other essential information to try and pinpoint any possible abuses within those.
2) ACER will also keep the National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) informed after an initial evaluation if there is believed to be any grounds to show that abuses have been committed.
Once the NRAs have been notified of an offence, the national authorities in member states will examine and investigate the issues and data in great detail and implement the requisite penalties to prevent these abuses or manipulations from occurring again in the future.
For these elaborate monitoring procedures to take effect, a careful and diplomatic stance needs to be endorsed because they involve intricate traded products and markets: these actions need to be followed in a circumspect method that will not overly encroach with the functions of energy markets.
Affected parties
REMIT concerns anyone and everyone who participates in or whose role directly impacts upon the wholesale energy markets within the EU – including non-EU residents. Non-EU and non EEA market participants might come under the scope of REMIT if they are involved with transactions in at least one wholesale energy market within the EU. This also means the registration of such involved bodies or firms under REMIT is essential, regardless of their location.

The Fat Quarter Shop is excited to welcome Kathy Weller to the Jolly Jabber. Kathy's latest fabric collection is Jive Cats from Northcott Fabrics.
Q: What was the first seed that grew into the Jive Cats collection?
A: With Jive Cats, four inspirations came into play.
1. The city. I love the city! It is all about the energy and excitement of urban life and I especially love if it is a colorful, vibrant city.
2. Our modern, ho-hum average busy everyday lifestyle. With mobile devices and social media, everyone's life is so much more complicated these days... Or maybe we just have better tools to procrastinate with! Regardless, Jive Cats celebrates this, and also sees the humor in it.
3. The fun that is fashion! The Jive Cats have kind of a spin on a NYC vintage vibe mixed with Japanese street fashion mixed with a little Yo Gabba Gabba! That just about sums up these fashionable, funny cats.
4. The Jive Cats characters themselves inspired the collection! I love these characters, I've been doing them for years, and they have evolved quite a bit... So I guess you can say they are now "all grown up" and the Jive Cats collection is their big debut!
Q: If your collection had a soundtrack what would be on the list?
A: Some fun, light-hearted happy songs that match the kitties' disposition!
Let's see:
1. The Go! Team - Huddle Formation
2. OK Go - White Knuckles
3. Cibo Matto - Sugar Water
4. Cake - The Distance
5. The Cure - The Caterpillar
6. a They Might Be Giants song (undetermined)
7. a Weezer song (undetermined)
Q: What single print/SKU in the collection is your favorite?
A: I love them all but my sentimental favorite is the oversized feature panel with all the little cats in a row (4800-23). I love that the kitties get a chance to be "individuals" here with their little cell phones, coffee cups, purses, hats, eye glasses, and cute boots! I think there's a ton of potential for fun and easy craft projects from this one panel. That said, I have to admit that I am tickled pink that we also did another oversize panel featuring an easy craft project (a stuffed cat and stuffed mouse) which helped to make answering this question a little more difficult for me than it already was.
Q: What is your favorite project you have made using this collection?
Q: If this collection had a scent to it, what would it be?
A: Strawberry Starburst candy and fresh lemon, with pepper undertones.
Q: If you had a mascot, what animal would it be?
A: I have a real-life mascot—my pug, Daisy. She keeps me company while I work, and reminds me to take breaks every now and then, too. In terms of my business, I have a cute kitty cat that is sort of the face of WellerWishes Illustration & Design on my blog and social media (and she happens to be a Jive Cat!)
Q: Who is your favorite celebrity?
A: Hello Kitty, of course
Q: If we were making a movie about your life, who would you want to play you?
A: That's a funny question! Looking at the big picture, Drew Barrymore probably makes the most sense.
Q: Who is your favorite fabric designer not including yourself?
A: This question is just too tough! I honestly can't say that I have one favorite. I will name a few favorites (is that cheating?). I'm a novelty girl, and for me, Kokka puts out some of the most inventive, inspired, and just plain wack-a-doo novelty prints on a consistent basis. I love them! For straight-up decorative symmetrical patterns, I think Jenean Morrison's work is sublime, vibrant and happy. I love Tula Pink's classic/modern surrealism. I think she has an absolutely wonderful sensibility, and it is so fresh for fabric! Gosh, there are so many more... How on earth can I pick just one?? :)

The usage of fossil fuels has developed a quantity of problems for which countries are intensively developing solutions to boost sustainability. All solutions require some type of separation and purification, which is currently achieved through primarily energy-intensive processes such as absorption, cryogenic separation and distillation. Polymer membranes are considered one of the absolute most energy-efficient methods for separating gases. However, many polymers either have actually low permeability or are not selective toward one gasoline over another. A project therefore developed novel polymers that effectively separate gas mixtures. The project looked at proper combinations of nanofillers with microcavities inside them that have actually well-defined size and porosity dispersed in advanced nanoporous polymers. Addition of nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes, zeolites, mesoporous oxides and metal-organic frameworks permitted increasing the polymer-free volume and creating preferential networks for mass transportation. Other than developing large amount polymers such as polynorbornenes, researchers also produced polymers of intrinsic microporosity. Such polymers are unable to pack effectively in the solid state and therefore trap enough free volume. Due to their contorted framework, they allow fast transport of tiny gas particles. Scientists developed a new polymerisation effect based on old chemistry – Tröger's base formation – that allowed them to prepare an extremely stiff polymer framework. Prospective programs of the technique should expand far beyond planning polymers just for gas separation membranes. Due to its extreme rigidity, the polymer functions as a molecular sieve, hindering transportation of larger gasoline molecules. To become an attractive alternative, pervaporation membranes need to be improved to become highly selective for ethanol over water. The task significantly improved understanding of fouling processes occurring at the membranes to enhance ethanol data recovery from fermentation broth. The project's innovative membrane layer technology should also offer an alternative to conventional processes for CO2 separation in energy stations. Despite their prospective, the polymer materials require to be scaled to enable further analysis of the separation procedure.

Yamaha DX100
The DX100 is a small and portable budget DX synthesizer from Yamaha. Like all DX's it uses (FM) Frequency Modulation synthesis. It's not the easiest form of synthesis to program but can result in some excellent sounds. The DX100 is not as flexible nor powerful as a DX7, but it does have some cool sounds. It is most renowned for its great analog bass sound (Patch #01) that is awesome for techno, house, jungle, and acid music styles; it's very gritty, the bass tone with gristle! However, any other preset sounds that you'll find in the DX100 are pretty bad and require editing for anything else useable.
The DX100 has mini-keys and only 49 of them. No filters, arpeggiators, effects or programmable controllers are available either. Small pitch and mod wheels in the upper left and guitar strap pegs make this synth usable for live use if you're feeling whimsical. If you mess around with the settings on Parameter 13, even if you don't know anything about FM, you can get some seriously twisted sounds out of it. If you're willing to spend a little time with it, it has a lot more potential than just that one bass sound that people will eventually get sick of. And at its currently low street price, it just might be worth getting. It is used by Orbital, Scanner, Jean-Michel Jarre, Autechre, Laurent Garnier, and countless other house and dance artists.

Vitamins are essential micronutrients which the body requires, though in small amounts, for optimal health. These chemicals play a crucial role in keeping our body healthy and disease free.One such vitamin is vitamin K, which is essential for optimal blood clotting process, and also has multiple other benefits. More details about the functions, benefits and sources are listed below.
- Vitamin K is actually a group of vitamins and has K1, K2, and K3. The functions and benefits accordingly will depend on the actual chemical being referred to.
- These are fat soluble vitamins and therefore absorption is better when something fatty is eaten along with it
- Vitamin K1 or phyloquilline reaches the liver and is essential for blood clotting. Reduced levels of vitamin K can lead to uncontrolled bleeding, but this is very rare in adults. Newborns can have this problem, and therefore, it is common to give them a one shot of vitamin K injection.
- Vitamin K2 is produced by gut bacteria and reaches blood vessel walls and bones. It prevents hardening and calcification of arteries, which is the main cause of heart disease.
- It helps in improving calcium and other mineral concentration in the bones and makes the matrix strong. It can be used in osteoporosis to reverse and control bone loss. It can also be used to heal fractured bones.
- It slows the growth of cancer cells and can be used to stabilise cancer. It has been shown to improve multiple forms including hepatocellular, prostate, colon, and oral cancer.
- It is beneficial in controlling Alzheimer's disease and improves memory loss in ageing people
- It improves insulin action and therefore prolongs onset of type 2 diabetes
- It has been shown to have antioxidant properties (as most other vitamins) and also helps in reducing toxin buildup
- It is good for skin health and can help control bruising and dermatitis
Vitamin K is found naturally in many foods and the daily dose required for an adult is about 120 to 150 mcg/day. Therefore supplementation is usually not required.
Leafy green vegetables including spinach, okra, cabbage, beans broccoli, and asparagus
- Fermented foods like yoghurt
- Soybean in all forms including medium cooked as well and Japanese diet uses boiled, fermented soybean called natto, which contains tremendous amount of vitamin K
- Nuts, such as cashews, almonds, walnuts, are a good source
- Strawberries, grapes, prunes, and apples
- Seafood such as salmon and shrimp contain good amount to control heart attack and stroke.
- Meat (duck, beef, chicken, and lamb)
Supplements are to be avoided, especially in pregnant and/or nursing mothers and people with a history of stroke, heart disease, heart attack and blood clotting problems.
Mosquitoes might be tiny creatures, but are responsible for some of the most dreadful diseases, one of them is malaria. Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted through mosquito bites directly or from mother to unborn baby and through blood transfusions. Very widely spread in the Asian and African continents, people travelling here are very cautious of this disease. In areas that are notorious for mosquito infestations, the local people also take preventive measures to ensure mosquito breeding is prevented or at least minimised.
Spread of the disease: When a mosquito bites an infected person, it picks up the parasite from the person and when it next bites another person, the infection is also transmitted. From there, the parasite travels to the liver and into the bloodstream before reaching another individual. While all people are prone to getting the infection, elderly people, children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised people are at greater risk. Also, new travellers are at greater risk than local people, who are to some extent immune to mosquito bites.
Symptoms: The disease is characterised by moderate to severe shaking chills which are more common in the evening, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Quite often, there is about a 4-week gap between the time of the mosquito bite and the onset of symptoms. However, in many people, the disease could lie dormant and symptoms manifest when the immunity is severely lowered.
With the gradual progression of the disease, more severe symptoms could evolve as below, and that is when malaria becomes life threatening.
- Cerebral malaria: Once the parasites enter the bloodstream, they can block the minor blood vessels in the brain leading to cerebral oedema and even brain damage. It could eventually result in coma.
- Anaemia: There is large-scale destruction of red blood cells, leading to severe anaemia and weakness and fatigue
- Breathing problems: Similarly, accumulation of fluid in the lung spaces can lead to pulmonary oedema which causes difficulty breathing and lung failure.
- Organ failure: Blood flow blockage to other vital organs like kidneys, liver, and spleen are also possible. The spleen may rupture leading to severe haemorrhage.
- Low blood sugar: The malarial parasite per se and the most commonly used medicine (quinine) are both known to cause low blood sugar levels. This can result in coma and even death.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment usually consists of chloroquine, Mefloquine, quinine sulfate, or hydroxychloroquine. There are various drug-resistant forms of malaria, and they may require combination therapy.
Prevention assumes greater significance with travellers going for vaccines prior to visiting these areas. Even the local people should find ways to avoid breeding of mosquitoes, use mosquito repellents and nets to avoid the infection.

All women have two ovaries located on either side of the uterus. They are fundamental for the process of child birth. However ovarian cysts have emerged as major problems which most women suffer from. In this, small pockets filled with fluids develop on the surface or within the ovaries. Though they are generally harmless, often times disappearing without any treatment, they do have the potential to create complications during child birth. Treatment of ovarian cysts depends on the size and the quantity of the cysts.
Some of the treatments available are-
1. Patience and a careful watch
In case medical examinations reveal tiny cysts, patience can be the key word. If you did not suffer from perceptible symptoms and the cysts were revealed only through tests, you must follow it with regular visits to the doctor. Few medications and regular ultrasound examinations are all you need in such a case.
2. Contraceptives
Birth control pills or contraceptives may be sometimes prescribed to you as possible medications to treat the cysts. Regular administering of these medicines deters the possibility of further development of cysts. They also benefit greatly in reducing the possibilities of suffering from ovarian cancer in the future.
3. Operations
In case the tests reveal large cysts, operations or surgical removal of them may be the only possible solution. Operations are generally suggested if the cysts have persisted for a long time and are accompanied by terrible pain in the lower abdomen.
4. Ovarian cystectomy
This is performed when the ovaries are kept intact and only the cysts are carefully removed.
5. Oophorectomy
In this form of surgery, only the ovary that is affected with the cysts is removed, while the other is kept intact. Both the ovaries might also have to be surgically removed if they are found to be affected.
6. Hysterectomy and subsequent removal of fallopian tubes and uterus
This is done when the cysts developed have the potential of becoming cancer us. In such a situation, an extreme measure is adopted with the complete removal of the ovaries along with the uterus and fallopian tubes. This is done in order to prevent the subsequent spreading of cancer. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.

For most people, putting on weight is easy, but losing excess weight can be quite a struggle. Obesity is one of the most common lifestyle ailments today and can trigger a number of health problems, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. It also affects your emotional health and self confidence.
Patience and perseverance are crucial when it comes to weight loss. Ayurveda can be very helpful in losing and regulating weight. Ayurveda is not only an alternative to harmful medicines, but also a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise. Here are a few ayurvedic herbs and preparations that can help you achieve a healthy body weight.
- Ginger: Ginger is rich in chemicals that control the oxidation of fatty acids and regulates cholesterol metabolism. Thus, it suppresses fat accumulation and regulates cholesterol levels in the body. It also helps cleanse the colon thus, aiding in the digestion process. Ginger also increases the body heat and blood flow that helps the body burn fat faster.
- Lemon infused water: Water infused with lemon juice and a spoon of honey on an empty stomach can help detox the body and boost metabolism. The lemon acid slows down the digestion process and help the body absorb nutrients that regulate blood sugar levels and keep you satiated for longer after a meal. In addition to this, lemon water also helps stimulate liver functioning and aids in the removal of waste from the body.
- Guggul: Guggul is a resin extract that is also known as the 'fat killer'. It has lipid lowering properties that help lower cholesterol levels by speeding up the degradation of cholesterol and reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. It also increases the amount of thyroid hormones produced that boost metabolism and help burn fat.
- Vrikshamla: Vrikshamla is rich in hydroxy citricacis that helps inhibit the accumulation of fat in the body. It also helps modulate the activities of genes that effect fat synthesis and can prevent the development of visceral fat tissues. Vrikshamla is also rich in serotonin that reduces the tendency to overeat by keeping a person feeling satiated for longer.
- Nigella sativa: This is better known as black cumin, onion seeds or kalonji. These tiny black seeds help lower blood sugar levels that can control your appetite and reduce carbohydrate cravings. It also stimulates the burning of fat and increases metabolism. By enhancing the functioning of the liver, it also helps the body get rid of waste and toxins. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda.
