How Do I Get My Loved One That Has Alzheimer From Hiding Her Soiled Underwear?
I have a 80 year old mother that refuses to were depends. she has many accidents and hides her soiled underwear around her room.I tried to many ways to make her understand that by wearing depends she wont be embarrassed.Can someone please help.
What has this got to do with 'Toddler and Preschooler'?????
Anyway, my mother lived with me for 4-years and also refused to wear 'depends'.....even though she did not have alzheimer. She finally came to a point where she needed more help than I was capable of giving her...so my sister and I found a nursing home for her. Once in the nursing home.....they demanded she wear depends and that was that.

If a person walks around with soiled underwear, does that make them retarded?
If you're walking around all day, with waste and remnants of excrement on your clothing, and it's yours, does that mean you suffer from a mental problem? There are toilet facilities , paper, soap and water at your disposal..so why would you sit around in your own filth?
Could be deep depression or mental illness.
Can you become sick from a guy's soiled feced underwear?
if a guy has an accident and doesn't tell anyone, instead hiding their soiled underpants, can you get sick? That's assuming no one touches them and/or ingests the fecal matter.

I'm certainly no expert, but basic differences are. PV is negative pressure, and DV is positive pressure. DV pipes have to be well sealed at all joints, yes, it goes out the wall. I also believe that DV usually has combustion air coming in within the same pipe, outside ring of pipe if I recall correctly.
Any of this that is not correct, I'm sure someone will point out for us.

I have 3 syringes total in these areas for volume obviously and was wondering if it is still possible to have an endoscopic midface lift..
Midface Lift with Artefill Already Present in Tear Troughs and Upper Cheeks?

Midface Lift with Artefill Already Present in Tear Troughs and Upper Cheeks?
Photos, of your face, would help in the evaluation. Permanent fillers, in the face, fall with the fatty tissue layer within which the filler is placed. If your cheeks are the proper aesthetic shape, then a minimal incision Face Lift like our "Celebrity Face Lift" would be recommended. If the Artefil is in the wrong place or in the wrong amount aesthetically, some or all may be removed using micr-liposuction with augmentation of the cheeks with either cheek implants or a temporary filler. Fat transfer IMHO is not nearly as reliable as an off the shelf filler like Perlane which is my preferred filler for shaping the cheeks. Remember endoscopic face Lifts do not have incisions around the ear and as such do not allow removal of excess skin which is an integral part of any Face Lift.

Yes, it is still possible to have an endoscopic midface lift even if you have has 3 syringes of Artefill injected.
Thank you for your question.
Yes, it is still possible to have an endoscopic midface lift even if you have had 3 syringes of Artefill injected into your tear troughs and cheeks.
See two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area to be sure.
Mid facelift with filler in place
In these circumstances I prefer to do fat grafting to get the desired result. Surgery thru a filler are in some cases spreads the filler to places you dont want it..
You might also like...
Fillers do not lift faces only refill/los rellenos faciales no levantan los tejidos solo los rellenan
yes you may improve your face but it would it better first lifting mid face and after filling with any kind of collagenes, but still my be done.
si los rellenos de colagenos no son obstaculo para hacer un levantamiento de la mitad de la cara aunque lo correcto debio de ser primero levantar y luego rellenar
Vertical Facelift thru Artefill
Injecting sand-like permanent filler into the thinnest and most visible skin in the body is hardly a good idea in either the short or long term. The ease of operating through this filler would be determined by the extent of scarring ( or as filler companies spin it "the collagen formation") caused by the filler. Before embarking on another potentially life altering decision I would suggest you consult several Plastic surgeons with what you wanted corrected / improved NOT by asking for an operation which may not help you as much as you think it may.
good Luck.

Midface lift after aftefill
This is not a material that I am enthusiastic about. Fat is a much better filler and carries far fewer complications. It may be possible to have a midface lift, but it all comes down to the physical exam by a highly experienced plastic surgeon. One always worries about the possibility of infection with this material.

VA tries voice-friendly EHRs
Using voice-recognition software with electronic medical records could save a Veterans Affairs Department facility in Los Angeles hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in transcription costs, according to one physician advocate. And yet, only a handful of employees at the VA's West Los Angeles Healthcare Center use the technology.
Meanwhile, a VA network in Tennessee has a 750-user license for voice-recognition software and has managed to fill most of those slots.
Those examples demonstrate the range of attitudes toward such software, which works with VA's EMR, the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS).
"Some networks have made investments for broad deployment," said Dr. Clayton Curtis, a primary care physician and informaticist at the VA Boston Healthcare System. "Elsewhere, it is left to individual facilities."
At VA's West Los Angeles facility, Dr. Steve Zeitzew, an orthopedic surgeon, has been advocating for voice-recognition software for eight years. It took him two years to get administrators to agree to a pilot program, and that happened only after a cardiologist complained to the medical executive committee that his emergency notes were not being transcribed in a timely manner.
Voice recognition "met with a fair amount of resistance," Zeitzew said. "The main obstacle is budgeting. Even though I showed the administration they could save a lot of money if the facility had a large number of VR users, they still said they didn't have money in the budget for software."
Six years later, Zeitzew's pilot program is still a pilot, with six regular users.
In contrast, VA's Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, based in Nashville, holds a 750-user license for Nuance Communications' Dragon Medical voice-recognition software. The network receives a discounted rate for the licenses because it is a test bed for the software.
Bernice Burchfield started the program in 1998 when she was chief information officer at a VA health facility in Memphis, Tenn.
"The facility director instructed me to find some type of automated solution for entering notes" into the EMR, she said. "We brought in five [voice-recognition] vendors, and Dragon emerged as the least of the five evils after being tested by 24 clinical workers."
The Dragon software has improved a great deal in the past 10 years, Burchfield added. The company recently released Version 10 of the medical voice-recognition software.
Burchfield has since moved on to become CIO of the Tennessee network, and she managed to get the software licensed across the network " at six facilities in Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia. The greatest number of Dragon users the network has seen at any one time is 400.
"We have worked with [Nuance] to develop templates and macros that help users of Dragon with CPRS," Burchfield said.
She agreed that cost is the primary factor hindering more widespread adoption of the software. "Historically, cost has been the issue," she said. "Individual licenses are not cheap. We do have a community of users across the country. They exchange tips and share templates."
For all its benefits, no one says voice-recognition software is a panacea. "The advantage is you get a reasonably high speed of dictation and accuracy in transcription," Curtis said. "It's great when you're familiar with the patient's chart. You just close your eyes and dictate what you want to say in the notes."
On the other hand, the technology does not allow clinicians to flip through a chart electronically while dictating. "You'd need two computer screens to do that," Curtis said.
"The real key with [voice-recognition] technology is that you can't impose it on people," Zeitzew said. "You need to develop user interest."
You also need to provide the right kind of hardware, such as high-quality sound cards and microphones, and technical support to set up the software correctly, he added.
"Even though the newest version is miles better than years ago, it is not a simple out-of-the-box experience," Zeitzew said.

No, I'm not kidding.Originally Posted by Pambe
If Jase actually believes that "one more week and we're unstoppable" is an accurate assessment of the game, then he's a really, really big idiot. If two members of the Horsemen get nominated by the HOH, then one is going home. If they win veto, then the HOH can just put a different member of the Horsemen up, and one of them still goes home. The only way they will be "unstoppable" is if they win every HOH, in which case "one more week" is absolutely irrelevant.
Boyo's a moron.

A new Pew survey called Libraries at the Crossroads finds that while people report feeling strongly about the importance of public libraries in their communities, those people are actually using libraries less and less.
Atlantic's take is that overall, perhaps people aren't visiting libraries as much because their relationship to the printed word, still a library's core offering, is dramatically changing.
Nearly one-third of [Pew survey] respondents who were 16 and older said libraries should "definitely" remove public access to some of their print books and stacks in order to free up space for technology hubs and other more customizable workspaces like reading spaces and meeting rooms. Many more were open to the idea: 40 percent of those surveyed said libraries should "maybe" reconfigure space to include fewer printed books. On top of that, almost half of those surveyed said libraries should "definitely" make 3-D printing technologies available to patrons who want to use them to make their own objects.
Although the libraries that we know today are changing rapidly, it will take time. Even at the Library of Congress, people are still designing the cataloging infrastructure for a fully digitized system—actually getting materials online is a separate and ongoing challenge. At many institutions, changes will likely depend on the actual behaviors of patrons, not just ideas about how a library should be from those who aren't using libraries as it is. "Even though people strongly believe in the role of libraries in digital inclusion, relatively few library users actually used libraries for this purpose," Pew wrote of its latest findings. "Just 7 percent say they had taken a class on how to use the internet or computers when asked about their use of the library in the past 12 months." [And] it's not as though paper books will disappear overnight. Traditional publishers are still printing, on paper, some 300,000 original titles annually.
This latest Pew survey, then, seems emblematic of a broader disconnect between the way people view the written word and perceive their relationship to it. Which mirrors how people see libraries, it seems: A library is a critical institution for the kind of community people say they want to live in, a space where those people could—theoretically, anyway—learn and gather. With or without printed books, and certainly with a smaller collection of them, a library can still be that.
As the Atlantic article points out, there may be a time in the near future when a public library looks more like small coffee shops spread throughout a community. These would be spaces for people to gather, learn, and create while mostly downloading books from their e-readers.

Love my son's name...RIAL
RIAL XAVIER (RYE-al) I just LOVE my son's name. Not that I want it to become uber-popular, but I think its cool, unusual without being weird, and it fits my little guy perfectly.
Rial is a family name (a distant relative's middle name) and as soon as my husband and I heard it, we knew that was the one. Runners up were Axl and Gunner.
Now I need to visit the girls forums, because our baby is due TOMORROW and we still don't have a clue...Names we liked 2 years ago for girls aren't cutting it today. And because I LOVE Rial's name so much, I ahve to love our daughter's name that much too!!!

"Crave on!" exclaimed vice president of White Castle Jamie Richardson as he signed off on an email exchange.
We bet you know what craving he's talking about. It's that mouthwatering thought of something small, something tender, and something that's a perfect balance of meat, onion, bun, and pickle - it's the White Castle slider craving. You don't really need to say much more than that, because everyone understands. The mini burgers are so unique, original, and delicious that anyone who's enjoyed a White Castle slider can't help but take part in the slider-mania that has spread across the country in the form of restaurants, freezer staples, and even a Hollywood movie.
Click here to see How to Make Your Own White Castle Sliders at Home
So what's so good about them? Well, for starters, they're the number-one menu item of the fast-food chain that only has 409 restaurants across the country, a far cry from many of the other popular chains. The unique and almost unattainable qualities of the sliders are what make them so special for so many people, and it's why they crave them, love them, and try to make them themselves.
Click here to Learn How to Make the Perfect Grilled Cheese
The story of the slider started back in 1921, when two Kansas folks, Walt Anderson and Billy Ingram, broke bread together. Anderson, a cook, wooed his insurance broker friend Ingram with one of his sandwich creations, a hamburger, and from there the idea of White Castle was born. With "castle" signifying strength and permanence, "white" was meant to signify purity, a counterargument to Upton Sinclair's 1906 book The Jungle, which cast a negative and impure outlook on beef. White Castle's popularity picked up immediately, and as the first-ever fast-food chain, their success and mission statement have remained constant through their years of business. "Convenience for customers and an incredibly [delicious] product they can't get anywhere else," says Richardson, is what defines the company. In other words, desirability.

"We're the object of desire - part of it is that we are trying to be all things for all people; our taste is distinctive and we have that commitment," explains Richardson.
And, their commitment is to quite a large following. Known as "the cravers," they're customers that embody the loveable characters of the 2004 movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, the people who will travel for hours in the middle of the night just to wrap their hands around a tiny, palm-sized slider. They're the obsessed, and their devotion and praise is one reason that White Castle remains such a prominent fast-food chain in our country today.
So, enough about White Castle and let's get to the slider already.
At 5 ounces a serving with 140 calories and 6 grams of fat, the slider is, in the words of Richardson, "the perfect blend of beef and bun - the true alchemy is how the flavors meld together, become one distinct taste because of the fresh bun, the hot beef, the onion, and the balance of the perfectly placed pickle."
Because of its strong following, many people have tried to replicate the beloved slider, but few have succeeded. As the cook editors here at The Daily Meal researched the project, we came across scores of recipes, all using different techniques and ingredients. Along our journey, we discovered a recipe by BigRedKitchen blogger Robin Joss that was as close to what we envisioned as possible. We didn't necessarily agree with Joss' specifics (don't get us wrong, hers' is pretty good too), but we agreed with her craver passion and style, which is why we asked her to work with us on this project. We poured ourselves into the details with Joss, and analyzed every little clue and hint that Richardson provided us.
We're pretty pleased with the results. In discussing the recipe with Richardson, he suggests, "The closest [you] will ever get [to the slider] is to go to your local grocery store and buy a package of frozen White Castle sliders."
We liked his salesman pitch, but we were unconvinced, and are confident that this recipe will help you succeed in making your very own White Castle slider at home.
The Challenge
This tiny burger, of which 550 million were sold last year, is the ultimate recipe challenge. The slider is so popular that if the amount of the hamburgers sold since 1921 were laid side by side, they would reach the moon and back. To replicate it is a challenging task, but we took it on.
The Beef
First we start with the beef, which according to Richardson is 100 percent all-natural USDA-approved. A special blend of specific cuts is chosen to create the slider patty, he said, and we decided to go with an equal amount of ground chuck and ground beef.
The Buns
As Richardson said, the beauty of the slider is how the shape of the patty aligns perfectly with the shape of the bun. We used Martin's Party rolls, which come in a bag of 12, but any square mini-roll will do, just so long as the patty is the same shape.
The Width
A lot of Anderson's fame is due to his invention of the hamburger patty, which he developed when he flattened a meatball with his spatula because it was cooking too slowly. The beauty of the White Castle slider is its thinness, and we rolled ours out to ¼-inch thick using parchment paper and a rolling pin.
The Shape
It wouldn't be a White Castle slider unless it was a square, so we made sure to cut our sheet of beef into 3-by-3-inch squares. We found that a pizza cutter was the most efficient way to cut them up, but a regular spatula will do the job as well.
The Design
White Castle is the first and only fast-food chain ever to cook their patties with holes in them. The layout was designed so that the patties cooked faster, and has been patent-protected since 1945. We wiggled a straw into the patties to give them some punctured love.
The Secret Ingredient
So many people think they know what the secret is in a slider; whether it's peanut butter or Lipton Onion soup, but Richardson insists it's really quite simple. The secret ingredient is added to the onions, and it's something that is easily accessible and available to the home cook, he hinted. After much thought and deliberation, we decided on butter, and it's as simple as that.
The Onions
Part of the slider's luster is those little white flecks of onion on the patty. We finely chopped ours and sautéed them for a couple of minutes before adding the patties so that they were just slightly cooked - retaining a crisp bite but giving a mellow cooked-onion flavor.
The Power of Steam
"Never underestimate the power of steamed grilling on a bed of onions," Richardson suggested, and we took his words literally. After he told us that one of White Castle's standards of excellence was that there should never be an area of a White Castle griddle bigger than a dime that's not covered by onions, we were convinced they were steamed.
Texture is Everything
The fact that White Castle makes and distributes their own hamburger bun was a bit of a road block for us in the beginning, but we think we figured it out. "Texture and freshness are key," Richardson warned, so we wrapped our buns in a damp kitchen towel and zapped them in the microwave to give them a steamed, soft quality.
The Pickle
Richardson described it as the perfectly placed pickle, and we couldn't agree more. We used one dill pickle slice to top our patties, and we didn't feel a bit of shame about it.
The Results - White Castle Sliders Recipe
- Anne Dolce, The Daily Meal
After the trials and tribulations, we think we've created a masterpiece with this recipe and have succeeded in replicating the slider in all of its glory. The finished result: a plain patty topped with sautéed onions and a pickle, and wedged between two steamed buns - ketchup optional.
We're certainly not the first to try to replicate this recipe, but we think we've come pretty close - and closer than others - to nailing it. We'd like to give a special thanks to Robin Joss of BigRedKitchen for helping us develop this recipe.
• 1/4 pound ground chuck
• 1/4 pound ground beef
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup finely diced onions
• 6 dill pickle slices
• 6 square dinner rolls
In a medium sized bowl, mixed together the beef and chuck, carefully so that you do not overmix the meat. On a clean surface or a cutting board, lay out 1 sheet of parchment paper. Place the beef in the center and top with another sheet of parchment paper. Roll out the beef until very thin, about ¼-inch thick, into a rough rectangle that is about 7-by-10-inches. Trim the edges of the square and use the scraps to pat into a neat rectangle that is 6-by-9-inches.
Season the hamburger square generously with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, cut six 3-by-3-inch patties out of the square. Using a straw, poke 5 holes in each patty, one near each corner and one in the center.
In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, season lightly with salt, and sauté in the butter for 1-2 minutes until it begins to sweat. Spread the onions evenly along the bottom of the pan so that the bottom of the pan is covered. Turn the heat to medium-low, and top the bed of onions with the patties, 4 at a time, seasoning side down. Allow the onions to "steam" the patties. Cover and cook the patties until they are no longer pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, dampen a kitchen towel and wrap the 6 buns in it. Place in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to steam the buns.
To assemble the burgers, take each patty with no more than 1 tablespoon of the cooked onions and place on the bottom ½ of the bun, onion side up. Top with 1 pickle slice and the top ½ of the bun. Serve with ketchup, if desired.

text: Kelsey Steenbergen Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address that became one of the most popular speeches ever written. The battle of Gettysburg was one of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln thought that his speech was a horrible one. It was short and to the point. Lincoln reminded the war weary public why the Union had to fight, and win, the Civil War. More than 45,000 people were killed, injured, captured or went missing. The Civil War was not just a fight to save the Union, but struggles for freedom and equality for all people. Before Lincoln's short speech there was a guy named Edward Everett who was the first speaker whose speech went on for hours. After Everett's speech Lincoln was up for his speech that only took 2 to 3 minutes and it was done. Not everyone got to hear Lincoln's speech because they were to busy talking about what Everett's speech said. What has happened in this war is basely a birth of a new freedom or a birth of new beginning for a lot of people. As said in the end of Lincolns speech "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Meaning everyone should choose for themselves. From this day on Abraham Lincoln who read the Gettysburg Address, the battle of Gettysburg, and all the people who fought in the war will be remembered for what they did.

It's been known as the Bull City, but for 30 consecutive years Durham has also been designated as Tree City USA.
In the latest installment of "Phil Fills In", Phil Sanchez took a trip to Durham to work with the folks who are in charge of keeping the trees and the city looking beautiful.
"We're arborists, we do tree work for a living," said Glenn Slaton with Durham Urban Forestry.
Their work is anything but easy. They're the folks you see up in a bucket dozens of feet in the air, cutting away tree limbs that are in danger of falling or in the way of power lines.
"We call this our gym, this is where we get our workout at," Slaton said.
"We're on call 365, 24/7."
The team usually consists of six, but with Phil on board it became a seven-member team.
Slaton and his crew didn't take it easy on the anchorman, either. They put Phil to work right away, outfitting him with a helmet, gloves, work pants, the whole get-up.
Phil spent some time 40 feet in the air with a chainsaw, cutting away tree limbs. He also put in some time at the wood chipper.
All in all, it was a successful morning for Phil Sanchez and Slaton's crew.
If you have a job you want Phil to fill in for, e-mail email@example.com.

The Apple iPad Review (2012)by Vivek Gowri & Anand Lal Shimpi on March 28, 2012 3:14 PM EST
The iPad as a Personal Hotspot: Over 25 Hours of Continuous Use
Verizon makes the decision of which iPad to buy even more difficult by being the only of the two US carriers to enable the personal hotspot option on the new iPad. For no additional monthly fee on top of your data plan your Verizon LTE iPad can act as a wireless hotspot, allowing up to five other devices to use its cellular connection over WiFi (2.4GHz only, unfortunately) or Bluetooth. One device can use the hotspot via the iPad's USB dock cable.
If you don't already have the personal hotspot option in the initial settings page, you'll need to go to general settings, then network, and activate personal hotspot there. Once you've done so you'll see a new item for personal hotspot in the default settings page.
You must remain on the personal hotspot settings page for the iPad's SSID to be visible to nearby devices. Once you leave the settings page, the iPad stops broadcasting its personal hotspot SSID.
In general the iPad's personal hotspot seems to be better behaved than similar options under Android. I've noticed all too often that Android hotspots will either stop routing traffic after an extended period of use, requiring either cycling the radio states on the hotspot device itself or in some cases a full reset of the hardware. The iPad wasn't immune to this sort of behavior, it just seemed to happen less than on the Android tablets and smartphones that I've tested. In one test it took only a few hours before I had to reset the iPad to make its hotspot work properly again, while in another case it was only after 24 hours of continuous use that the feature began misbehaving. Overall I am very pleased with the Verizon iPad as a personal hotspot, the bigger issue is the cost of the data that you're sharing with all of those devices.
As I mentioned in our Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE review, these LTE tablets make great hotspots simply because you are pairing smartphone modems with gigantic (for a smartphone) batteries. The end result is if you have to treat your LTE tablet as a true hotspot (screen off and all), you get great battery life. The new iPad takes this idea to a completely new level since its battery is now squarely in the laptop-sized category, but its LTE modem is still designed to run on a < 6Wh smartphone battery.
Our standard hotspot battery life test involves running four copies of our web browsing battery life test and playing a 128Kbps internet radio stream on a laptop tethered via WiFi to the hotspot being tested. While peak download speeds during this test can reach as high as 1MB/s, remember that these web browsing battery life scripts include significant idle time to simulate reading a web page. The average data transferred over the duration of the test amounts to around 25KB/s if you take into account idle periods.
With the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE I tried something different—letting the tethered notebook download at full speed using the Tab's LTE connection. On the new iPad, after nearly an hour of downloads at well over 1MB/s I saw no drop in the battery percentage indicator—it was stuck at 100%. Not wanting to upset Verizon too much, I needed to find a good balance between a realistic workload and something that wasn't going to make me rack up over a hundred GB in overages.
If our standard hotspot test averages around 25KB/s of transfers, I figured doubling it couldn't hurt. I downloaded a sufficiently large file at a constant 50KB/s on a laptop tethered over WiFi to the new iPad to see how long it would last. The result was astounding: 25.3 hours on a single charge
I used up over 4.5GB during this period—almost the entire amount that my $50/month plan gave me, all without having to plug the iPad in to recharge it. That's the beauty of using a 42.5Wh battery to drive a cellular modem that can last a couple of hours on a tenth of that capacity. If you want to use the new iPad as a personal hotspot, you'll likely run out of data before you run out of battery life.
It's a real shame that AT&T decided against enabling personal hotspot on its version of the LTE iPad. It's for this reason alone that I'd recommend the Verizon version, assuming that you're planning on using your iPad in an area where Verizon has LTE coverage of course.

Kevin G - Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - linkMemory bandwidth tests just seem to be off for what you'd expect a quad channel 128 bit wide memory bus to perform as. Performance didn't move from the dual channel 64 bit wide bus in the iPad 2. Could there be a software bug (Geekbench or iOS) limiting performance there? It'd be nice to revisit the memory tests after the next major revision of iOS and in conjunction with a later release of Geek Bench.
Any chance of getting the exact resolution that Infinity Blade 2 runs on the rev 3 iPad? I'm assuming it'd be either 1536 x 1152 or 1368 x 1024 for quick scaling purposes. Reply
slashbinslashbash - Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - linkThey addressed this in the article.
"It would appear that only the GPU has access to all four channels." - Page 12
The GPU is hooked up to the RAM controllers. The CPU communicates to the RAM through the GPU. The GPU gets all 4 channels, the CPU only gets 2. The benchmark measures CPU-RAM bandwidth, not GPU-RAM bandwidth.
It's actually kind of interesting, as it's an inversion of the typical architecture that we're all used to from PCs. But it makes sense, since the new iPad is basically a very nice screen with a smartphone CPU attached. The very nice screen requires a very nice GPU to drive it, so the GPU is more important (and would be memory starved with only 64 bits). The CPU just has to be "good enough" while any shortcomings in the GPU would be magnified at this resolution. Reply
tipoo - Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - linkWhich way is the PS Vita configured? That has the same quad core GPU and a quad core CPU as well. Reply

Security experts on Friday slammed security firm Intego for exaggerating the threat of what the company identified as the first Trojan for Mac OS X.
On Thursday, Intego issued a press release saying it had found OS X's first Trojan Horse, a piece of malware called MP3Concept or MP3Virus.Gen that appears to be an MP3 file. If double-clicked and launched in the Finder, the Trojan accesses certain system files, the company claimed.
While Intego said the Trojan was benign, it said future versions could be authored to delete files or hijack infected machines. In the release, and in subsequent telephone interviews, Intego was vague about the purported Trojan's workings and its origins.
On Friday, Mac programmers and security experts accused the company of exaggerating the threat to sell its security software.
"They gave the impression that this is a threat, but it isn't," said Dave Schroeder, a systems engineer with the University of Wisconsin. "It is a benign proof of concept that was posted to a newsgroup. It isn't in the wild, and can't be spread in the wild. It's a non-issue."
"They are spreading FUD to sell their software," said Ryan Kaldari, a programmer from Nashville, Tennessee, referring to the shorthand for fear, uncertainty and doubt.

So does this mean my fantasy of seeing Rosamund Pike in tight, form-fitting spandex fighting evil mutants has just gone out the window? Quite possibly, because the latest word on Matthew Vaughn's "X-Men: First Class" is that Rose Byrne is in negotiations to land the role of Moira MacTaggert, a scientist and expert on mutants and Professor X's love interest in comic book canon.
Rose Byrne has been in everything from "Troy" to "Sunshine" to "Knowing", and more recently has been splitting her time between the movies and cable TV on the FX Network's critically acclaimed "Damages" TV show. In "First Class", she'll be acting mostly alongside James McAvoy, who is playing a younger version of Patrick Stewart's Professor X. Olivia Williams last played the character in Brett Rather's "X-Men: Last Stand", a film that Vaughn nearly ended up directing.
Besides McAvoy and now Byrne, the cast of "First Class" includes Michael Fassbender as a young Magneto, Alice Eve as the White Queen, and Kevin Bacon as the film's mysterious, as-yet unidentified heavy. Jason Flemyng was also recently cast as Nightcrawler's dad.
Shooting on the big-budget Fox comic book movie is set to go before the cameras later this month in London.

Last House On The Left
Haven't seen the new one. Really enjoyed the original though. I feel like people who say the original was terrible lack the necessary appreciation for classic horror movies because the original is without a doubt a classic. The gore involved with the original was insane for a movie of that time. It wasn't meant to be a suspenseful terrifying movie but rather one that made you disgusted by how evil everyone was and the vengeance involved for the family. Probably should check out the new one even though I don't feel like this movie can really be remade well now, its a different era for horror films that doesn't really suit Last House On The Left. Either way, if your a fan of classic horror films and haven't seen the original version you should check it out.2 Weeks ago in Entertainment

At their Television Critics Association panel today in Los Angeles, Fox confirmed that Glee season 5's Cory Monteith tribute episode will focus on drug abuse.
While he did not confirm whether or not the Finn character will die due to a drug-related incident, Fox president Kevin Reilly told reporters that Glee season 5 will "deal directly with the drug abuse."
Glee fans had speculated this would be the case for two reasons. For one, the show has never taken on the subject of drugs like they have gay marriage, school shootings, and other hot button topics. Two, Monteith died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol, a coroner's report confirmed.
Related: Fox President says Glee season 6 will likely be its last.
Reilly added that the tribute episode will include several drug-related PSAs during commercial breaks created by Ryan Murphy and Glee cast members. He would not confirm that the episode will run unused footage or outtakes of Finn, only saying "it's a possibility."
Following Monteith's death, Fox pushed the season 5 premiere of Glee back one week to Thursday, September 26. The first two episodes will be Beatles-centric tributes. Episode 3 will be the Finn/Monteith tribute.
Numerous Glee stars have spoken out about Monteith since his passing. After several weeks, co-star and real life girlfriend Lea Michele broke her silence and thanked fans for their unwavering support. Kevin McHale and Mike O'Malley are others who've chimed in on the tragic news in recent days.

Real Crimes, Real Criminals
Peyton writes about Real Crimes, Real Criminals:
RMCAT classes are reality based and to accomplish that we have interviewed convicts, killers and criminal assailants of most every kind. This video is a collection of some of those very interviews. In talking to violent, convicted felons we learn how they select their victims and very importantly why they will pass on a given individual as a potential victim if they spot certain behaviors in them.
People who attack other people are generally of three kinds; the insecure fool who must keep fighting to prove something impossible to himself, the crazy person who is just off the rails and so is completely unpredictable and the criminal (addict) with a criminal agenda.
This 55 minute video is about the criminal, and how you can avoid his agenda, and the insecure ego type who demands respect and will physically attack someone if he feels disrespected. It is compiled of interviews with those of a violent disposition about why they attacked others, and who they decided to attack.
If you have ever felt angry when someone crowded you or cut you off in traffie when there was no real danger, you were probably feeling disrespected. If you have ever got short with that person in the grocery store who hogs the center of the aisle and forces you to go at her (non-) pace, again you were probably feeling disrespected.
"Who the hell do they think they are?"
"What the hell gives them the right to…?"
While an angry person may go out of his way to cause a situation in which he can feel disrespected and therefore react to his idea of disrespect, a lot of the violence suffered by the careless is due to their careless treatment of others. In other non-pc words - It's your own damn fault!
For many people who have little means of establishing respect in ordinary terms, doing it by physical violence can be very important to them, even knowing they may be causing themselves a great deal of trouble in the long run.
The answer of course is to be respectful…
Giving respect does not mean to cave in, or to be a wuss. It merely means that even when you must stand your ground, you do it politely. You do not act in an arrogant dismissive manner, not condescending nor paternalistic.
Robert A. Heinlein wrote that an armed society is a polite society. There are many among us who are willing to impart a lumpy lesson with their bare hands about the pains of disrespect. It demeans us as a culture that we can act disrespectfully because we know the likelihood of an armed response is small.
Whether you opeate a small store or wander in the dark in expensive clothes, if you come to the notice of an armed robber, he will interview you to see if you are safe to rob, since he does not want a fight, or to get hurt or arrested.
Peyton coined the term interview to describe how a criminal checks out a potential victims for success. And Mark MacYoung put flesh on these bones as he tends to do.
Mark writes:
There are five basic types of interviews. The one a criminal uses depends more on his personal style than anything else.
There is the Regular, Hot, Escalating, Silent, and Prolonged interview methods. To learn the details of this common criminal technqiue and how to fail the interview, read here: The Interview.
The violent armed robbers that Peyton recorded on this dvd tell of their thinking processes that gave them the green light to go ahead and rob the person or the store.
This gives us amazing insight into our self protection.
For muggings, house B&E's or store robberies, 5 factors were identified as the warning signs that stalled a robbery in its tracks. As well, 6 non-interview factors were discussed as having a strong indication the robber should go somewhere else.
This dvd is like a map to the criminal's soul, indicationg where the treasure is to be found and where the dragons lurk. Get the dvd, become a dragon.

"I think a lot of the issues are the same, a lot of the issues involved in the strike and the issues that led to the collective bargaining changes," said Will Powell Jones, a labor-relations expert at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "They have to do with really dramatic reductions in school funding and how that funding will affect students, and also staff and teachers in the school."
About 29,000 Chicago teachers, members of the Chicago Teachers Union, began striking Monday after contract negotiations with the Chicago Public School board broke down, leaving 404,000-plus children locked out of class. The strike entered its second day on Tuesday
It's the first time Chicago teachers have gone on strike in 25 years.
Wisconsin teachers have been legally barred from striking since 1971, although that hasn't always kept teachers from walking out, according to the state's largest teachers union, the Wisconsin Education Association Council.
Last year after Gov. Scott Walker and Republican legislators pushed through reforms that, among other things, limited most unionized state public employees' collective bargaining to cost-of-living salary hikes, teachers from across the state converged on the Capitol for several days of protests. Some of the teachers later were disciplined and some had their paychecks docked.
"There's also a broader context of a national trend in school reform that focused on a greater reliance on quantitative measures for measuring student performance and teacher performance," Jones said. "In both cases, the teachers unions in Wisconsin and Illinois have resisted some of those changes."
Chicago teachers and school district management seem to have agreed on a proposed 16-percent raise over four years and a longer school day. But they can't yet come to terms on job security and a new teacher evaluation system.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants teachers to give more concessions at a time when the school district's deficit is nearing $700 million.
WEAC President Mary Bell said the union's members would be supporting their Illinois brethren.
"We will stick together and speak with one voice – because based on what we've witnessed in Wisconsin, what happens in our various communities and states impacts the profession as a whole," Bell said in a statement
The strike is the rare instance of a political party being pitted against one of its core voting blocks.
Emanuel is a well-known Democrat and President Barack Obama's former chief of staff.
Teachers unions, a reliable constituency for the Democratic Party, are backing Obama's re-election bid – but nevertheless are concerned about his policies that would, for example, weaken tenure and make student improvement a factor in teacher evaluations.
"I guarantee you the White House is on the phone with City Hall saying, 'Settle this now,'" said Steve Gunn, editor-in-chief of the Education Action Group Foundation, Inc., a Michigan-based nonprofit that supports education reforms.
Last March, the EAG published a report titled, "The Bad Old Days of Collective Bargaining: Why Act 10 Was Necessary for Wisconsin Public Schools."
The fact that Emanuel already has conceded on issues such as teacher raises leads Gunn to believe that the strike will end soon – and in the labor union's favor.
"I think that the (American Federation of Teachers), which is the parent union obviously of the (Chicago Teachers Union), decided to draw a line in the sand there because of situations like that in Wisconsin where they lost badly," he said.
"Before (teachers unions) got any further behind in this game, they decided to pick a major union in a major city and take a stand," Gunn said.
The Chicago union's victory, if it happens, will embolden unions across the country, in places like Detroit, to take similar action, he predicted.
"And that's too bad, because big city districts are where most of the reforms are needed," he said.
Jones, for his part, expects more labor conflicts to arise in Wisconsin — as a result of the collective bargaining changes.
Limiting strikes was the actual goal of the collective bargaining process, he said.
"The argument was that if the parties could sit down and negotiate an agreement without it leading to a conflict, then it would largely prevent strikes," Jones said.
The Chicago strike, he said, "is an outcome that nobody wanted to see. But it points to the need of having formal and more rational ways to deal with these kinds of conflicts."

On Monday we recommended all tickets to Sex Power God and other events include the disclaimer: "Organizers reserve the right to refuse entry to the obviously or dangerously impaired." However, according to Queer Alliance, a disclaimer reserving the right to refuse admittance to attendees for any reason – including intoxication – is already handed out with each Sex Power God ticket sold.
Our editorial also stated that student organizers should be trained to turn dangerously inebriated students away from the party. In fact, Sex Power God party managers were instructed in a pre-party meeting to turn away overly intoxicated students, according to Queer Alliance.
But despite such disclaimers and trained door managers, more than 30 students attending the party required medical attention, according to Vice President for Campus Life and Student Services David Greene. Moreover, the party's screening process allowed Fox News producer Jesse Watters – a man wearing a sweatshirt and long pants at the half-naked affair – to enter the party with a video camera and obtain footage that was aired on "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday night.
Clearly, the party's current safeguards are not sufficient.
While Sex Power God is not representative of normal drinking patterns at Brown, the party is an important part of our culture, and simply canceling the event is not the solution. But if the trademark party is to survive this weekend's dangerous and public consequences, decisive changes must be made.
The University has already taken the first step toward achieving such changes. In an e-mail to undergraduates Sunday, Greene wrote that the University is to begin an immediate review of the weekend's events. But for such an effort to succeed, the University will need to look beyond written policy.
A disclaimer needs to be more than just words on a ticket – it needs to be a stringently upheld standard. There is a distinct difference between policies that exist as mere formalities and policies that students know will be enforced.
Moreover, the responsibility lies with students to prove we can look out for each other at our own events. Party planners and party-goers alike need to be aware that by allowing Sex Power God's culture of pre-party binge drinking to continue, they are putting both students and the tradition itself at great risk. Only if students and administrators acknowledge each others' concerns and work together to curb the excessive binge drinking associated with Sex Power God can the party remain an enduring component of the University's unique culture.

What next?
The most interesting part of this offseason will no doubt be what the Lightning does with its goaltending. Johan Homqvist will be a great backup but his inconsistency is too much to overcome for a No. 1 job.
Curious, though, as to what you guys think of the plan out there to sign an older free agent such as Dominik Hasek or Curtis Joseph as a one-year stop-gap until Karri Ramo is really ready. The Lightning could have gotten Joseph two years ago for about $900,000 but opted for Sean Burke and his $1.6-million.
Personally, I think it is a good idea to try and create a bridge to the future. You certainly don't want the team trading anymore core people for goalies; not that they could because they don't have much to trade. But you might as well take a chance on a guy with a track record. Yeah, it's a little risky because Hasek and Joseph, just as an example, are older and perhaps prone to injury. But a Holmqvist-Ramo combination, to me, is another year that you have lost the "window of opportunity'' with the Big Four. I include Dan Boyle in that because after next season, if he keeps putting up numbers (let's overlook the playoffs for a second), he will be a very rich guy, and the money won't be coming from the Lightning.
Whatever happens, it will be an interesting offseason.

Just wanted to wish all the moms out there a happy Mother's Day! Hope everyone is taking it easy, and enjoying the day with their loved ones. So far we've had a very relaxing day. The kids helped my husband make me breakfast in bed, and they gave me pajamas and a robe that they picked out themselves. We went to lunch with family, and now we're home hanging out.
What did you all do?

One female fan died and more than 20 others were injured Wednesday night at a Linkin Park performance in Cape Town, South Africa, according to reports.
An advertising structure collapsed outside the venue prior to the concert due to high winds, and the temporary scaffolding structure collapsed directly onto fans who were entering the concert outside the stadium. The woman, whose name authorities have not yet released, was caught under a banner advert for Lucozade when strong winds caused the structure to collapse.
Surprisingly, the show went on as scheduled, the band unaware of the tragedy until after the concert ended.
Linkin Park posted a message on their official website expressing their condolences to the family of the deceased fan and their concern for those injured:
Following our performance tonight at Cape Town Stadium, we were advised that several people were injured as a result of the collapse of an advertising tower erected by Lucozade in the parking area outside the venue.
We wish to express our deep sadness and concern for those injured and our heartfelt condolences to the family of the fan who died as a result of her injuries.
Though we have had no relationship with the sponsor or the entity responsible for erecting the structure, we take the safety of our fans very seriously and our thoughts are with all of those who were affected by this tragedy.
Cape Town authorities released the following statement, before news of the fan's death had emerged:
"Twenty concert attendees were injured at the Cape Town Stadium this evening when a temporary scaffolding structure in the stadium precinct collapsed due to high winds. The injured were treated on scene and have been taken to nearby hospitals for further medical attention."

In dire need of feedback.
HEy guys! My name is Anagha and I'm new to teen ink. Here's my new article. Please feel free to give your feedback.Critical appreciation is welcome.
I've often seen the illuminated particles of dust under the light bulb and I'm surprised to see such a small part of nature's creation. I also feel every creation has to be given equal importance and vitality. We are after all just humans not creators. So if we do put some effort and help in promoting the survival of other creatures, we aren't doing a favour, we are just doing our job. But we have widened the hierarchical division of vitality in creations. Nowadays, the importance of creatures is sorted based on how useful they are to us. The fact itself that I am asking you readers to think about this is scary.
However important the above aspect may be, that is not the focus of this article. The focus is not the dominated members of nature but the dominating member; the humans of course. The human man was born with a pure soul and body and mind. But his surroundings brought about peculiar changes in him. Hurting another soul was never part of the package for us humans. But one key element sent him into a state of frenzy; Survival. As he came into the world, he realized he needed to stay alive and it wasn't that easy of a task. The necessity for survival brought about many new elements in man which he was new to such as selfishness. He reached such a state that he was ready to hurt another soul to satisfy his needs. This was the survival age.
But as time progressed, survival became all too easy, just like breathing. At this stage, a new necessity had risen. Now humans fought with each other to reach the top. I call this the age of competition. Just as survival became no Hercules task, reaching the top seemed to take a lot of time and energy.
Side by side, man also developed relationships. He realized that he would be a fool to fight a battle alone. But it also had an emotional reason to support it. He made friends and mates. Males and females realized their clan would wither away in the absence of their union. He needed friends to pour out his heart to at the end of the day. Hence, man came to called a social animal.
By this time, he was at par with all other creations. Now came the age of hierarchy. This was the age when boundaries were created, fences were put up and the world went from the abode of man to the abode of regions and countries. The people of the world had no sense of belonging and the powerful overpowered the weak. But as far as I understand, the law of nature is that the powerful protect the weak not take advantage of them. I see this age as the beginning of destruction.
Man, soon realized it was impossible to generate every single thing he craved for and his craving and need seemed to have no end. So they devised the concept of exchange. Hence was born the concept of exchange. This idea flourished for long but wasn't good enough to last. Soon, came the idea of currency. This is seen as the beginning of the end of a selfless, open and free-flowing society. After the invent of money, came the segregation of the society into fragments. It was then that society was shattered and we haven't been able to put it back together an I don't think we ever will. This was the age of division and just like the age of competition, it has no end. The survival age was just a phase because man had no other focus in life at that stage. Hence, it was bound to see an end. But division? As long as mankind exists, division exists. Based on money, we have rich and poor, based on God; we have religion, based on power; we have the powerful and the weak and based on appearance, on one side we have the bold and the beautiful and on the other side we have the uglies. At one end, people are going higher and higher and the sky is the limit for them but on the other hand people suffer at the hands of ill-fate and incapability. The ridge between the two strata is widening day by day, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
As the hands of time keep ticking, mankind comes forth as an evolutionary clan, which has evolved and changed over the years of its existence. Whether for the good or the latter, I do not know but change is the only visible constant in the evolution of mankind.
I enjoyed reading some of the theories of ages in time and how you grouped them, but to be honest this essay was kind of all over the place. It was hard to follow unless you were really paying attention to it and understanding every aspect. I also feel like the way that the essay was ordered was not the best and that it could have been better written. I found a lot of grammatical errors in there. I could not possibly write all the grammatical errors through the internet because it would be too hard for you to follow, so in my opinion you should give it to an english teacher that you trust to review.

Reds 2B Brandon Phillips rips reporter before game
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips went off on a reporter before the team's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, after being unhappy about a tweet from a Cincinnati media member that pointed out his low career on-base percentage.
Phillips cursed out C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer after Rosecrans tweeted about the Reds lineup changes.
Phillips has an on-base percentage of .310 this season. Phillips is also hitting .264 with 16 home runs and his 95 RBI are third-most in the National League.
Here is how the exchange went, courtesy of ESPN Radio in St. Louis:
"Hey, Dusty. The (expletive) on the end, he worries about my on-base percentage. You tell him you'd have me bat eighth, he worried about my on-base percentage. The (expletive) over there. Make him happy, Dusty. The (expletive). You talking that negative (expletive) about our team, dog. I found out your Twitter name now, (expletive). It's a wrap. Just so you (expletive) know. (Expletive)."

I am not sure about you, but one of the things that can make me smile and brighten my day are fresh flowers. Fresh flowers just bring a brightness to a room and a smile to my face. With Valentine's Day (and my anniversary) right about the corner, flowers are one of the gifts I love to get.
There is just something about a knock on your down and someone on your doorstep holding a flower delivery with a love note attached that sets my heat aflutter. What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic.
Some people don't care for flowers because they are temporary but one of the best things to me that I have always done is dried out and saved my favorite flowers. In fact last June, my daughter performed in a dance recital and I made sure to save the bouquet of roses she received along with her costume and will be shadow boxing them.
Fresh or dried, flowers can be used to decorate in such fun ways. I am always amazed at the way florists can make beautiful creations with an array of flowers. So many bright colors, woven together in such a way it takes my breath away. With Valentine's Day approaching this is a classic gift idea that is easy to run with. When paired with a night out, chocolate, or maybe new shoes flowers are something that makes this romantic smile.I know what I'll be asking for this Valentine's Day!
Flowers are a great gift ideas are endless for this Valentine's Day. Just be sure to include a little love note with it, the sentimental part of that is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face. What are your favorite flowers or valentines's day gift to receive?
This is a partnered post.

'Gluten Free' now defined by the FDA
Grocery shopping is tricky business. The sad truth is, the things we read on food packages are often misleading. The processed food companies are keenly aware of the fact that certain words or phrases appeal to consumers, and therefore boost sales.
Lately one of the most popular selling-points is, "gluten free."
Have you noticed how many food items have the words "gluten free" on the package? Gluten-free foods have become such a popular food choice lately. But what does "gluten-free" mean, exactly?
The answer was announced recently by the FDA. They recently declared that food manufacturers must meet certain criteria before slapping the phrase "gluten free" on their packages. This way, when shoppers see the "gluten free" on a label, they know what they're getting... each and every time.
The new regulation requires that, in order to use the term "gluten-free" on its label, a food must meet all of the requirements of the definition, including that the food must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. The rule also requires foods with the claims "no gluten," "free of gluten," and "without gluten" to meet the definition for "gluten-free."
This uniformity is intended to protect the 3 million people with Celiac Disease, but also people with gluten sensitivity, as well as those, such as myself, who simply want to avoid gluten for overall good health. We don't need it and I believe we are better off without it. Gluten comes from carbohydrates and a high carbohydrate diet is linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
Gluten is a term that describes the proteins that are in wheat, rye, and barley. People with Celiac Disease must avoid gluten because it triggers antibodies that attack the small intestine. When that happens it's very painful and can even lead to devastating consequences like intestinal cancer and infertility.
Today I spoke with Alice Bast, president of the National Foundation For Celiac Awareness. She reacted to the new regulation by stating, "we are thrilled that the FDA has come out with this ruling. This has been a long time coming. It's important that our community be kept safe."
She said her organization is satisfied with the 20 ppm standard, noting that it appears be safe level even for Celiac patients with extreme gluten sensitivity.
Bast pointed out, however, that the food manufacturers have a full year to comply. She also noted that the labeling is voluntary. Furthermore, she warned consumers to understand that if a product claims to be "wheat free," this does not mean it is "gluten free" because a "wheat free" product might still contain rye and/or barley.
Do you sometimes wonder if you have a gluten sensitivity or possibly even Celiac Disease? There are many symptoms, not every person experiences the same ones. Gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea, cramping, bloating or constipation are quite common.
But there are others, like headaches and depression. Lots of times people with these symptoms are incorrectly diagnosed with some other type of disorder and still others simply suffer needlessly with these awful symptoms of celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
I've known people who have never been formally diagnosed, but who simply choose to remove gluten from their diet and noticed an amazing improvement in their health almost instantly, along with the added benefit of weight loss.
CeliacCentral.org is a wonderful resource if you have celiac disease or are curious about Celiac Disease or gluten insensitivity.
Here are additional links on the new labeling regulation:
