As abruptly as the NHL lockout ended, sweeping changes at the AHL level will be quick to follow.
Hours after an agreement was reached between the league and the players association around 5 a.m. Sunday, reports began to surface that training camps would start in a matter of days. Several more now indicate that won't happen any earlier than this weekend, with games projected to start somewhere around the 19th.
It remains to be seen how many Checkers will be invited to a shortened camp in a shortened season, as teams won't have much time to prepare. Even if it's only a small group, Charlotte will certainly be without key contributors for at least a short while, including some missed games. That won't be ideal, but it's a problem that will be felt around the league. With Oklahoma City and Houston on the schedule for this weekend, the Checkers will benefit from NHL camps as much as they'll suffer.
The Checkers have just one player who is a lock to leave for the NHL full-time – defenseman Justin Faulk, who has more than likely played his last game in a Checkers uniform. They'll almost certainly lose more, though the exact number and exact players will depend on who's performed well this AHL season, who performs well at camp and at what rate the Canes' NHL veterans are able to shake off the rust.
A look at potential camp battles and roster losses that could start this week:
There's no question that Cam Ward is the No. 1 goalie in Carolina. However, his backup job is completely up for grabs.
Incumbent Brian Boucher is coming off an injury-filled season and is thought to have only recently recovered from another ailment suffered during the offseason. He should be in the mix to keep his job, but it's perhaps more likely that one of the Checkers' Dan Ellis or Justin Peters, who have both played very well this season, will have the upper hand.
Ellis, 32, is the more experienced of the two and filled a similar role as recently as last season when he played behind Jonas Hiller with the Anaheim Ducks. In his first AHL games in several years, Ellis, who is under a tryout contract with the Checkers, is 8-7-2 with a 2.46 goals-against average and .922 save percentage.
Peters, 26, had the job just two seasons ago, though he played sparingly behind Ward. He's played perhaps his best hockey in the last month to improve his numbers to 12-6-1 with 2.44 goals-against average and .911 save percentage. It may or may not matter in terms of what happens now, but the organization does have a longer commitment to Peters, who has a one-way NHL contract for next season.
With Ellis in no way bound to the Hurricanes organization, it's important to note that he's free to sign with whatever NHL team might be interested in his services, making it entirely possible that he won't return to Charlotte even if things don't work out in Carolina.
The Checkers have a readymade replacement in John Muse, who performed admirably for the team last season. Muse, who signed an NHL deal with Carolina over the summer, has spent the entirety of this season with the ECHL's Florida Everblades, who he led to a championship last season. Muse is 9-7-4 with a 3.64 goals-against average and .887 save percentage this season.
It's also not out of the question that Boucher could play some games in Charlotte if Ellis and/or Peters prove to be more prepared for the NHL season. Boucher, 36, has only played three competitive games since his injury trouble began in December of 2011.
Scoring Forward
A handful of Checkers would've had a chance to fill a scoring role for the Hurricanes regardless, but veteran Carolina forward Tuomo Ruutu's recent season-ending surgery has made at least one clear opening.
Top candidates are the usual suspects who have made frequent trips to Carolina over the last few seasons – Drayson Bowman, Zach Boychuk and Zac Dalpe. Based on an extended NHL stint last season, Bowman started the season in the lead and has done nothing to lower his stock, having, at one point, scored goals in eight consecutive games (that is still the longest streak posted by any player in the AHL this season).
However, the other two have enjoyed good starts as well, particularly Boychuk, who has greatly increased his consistency from last season. He leads the Checkers in scoring with 31 points (15g, 16a) in 36 games and has been among the league leaders in goals, points, power-play goals, game-winning goals and shots on goal all season.
Meanwhile, Dalpe has done himself a favor with a good adjustment to playing the wing full-time. His scoring has not been as consistent as Boychuk's (23 points in 35 games), but he's done enough to improve his all-around game – a necessity to play at the next level – that he will still be very much in the conversation.
Candidates to replace whoever goes to Carolina include A.J. Jenks and Brody Sutter, who are currently playing under the NHL deals in Florida. Justin Shugg, Justin Soryal and Jared Staal, already with the Checkers, would see increased roles as well.
Depth Forward
If the Hurricanes need a physical presence on their fourth line, Brett Sutter and Tim Wallace could be in line for a promotion.
Sutter, the Checkers' captain, played 15 games for the Hurricanes last season and has some familiarity with the organization. He's also added an offensive touch to his game at the AHL level this season, scoring 10 goals, putting him just three away from his single-season career high. His ability to play either at center or on the wing will help his cause, as will an improved skating stride that came as the result of work recommended by the Hurricanes after last season.
Wallace, 28, has more NHL experience, having played most of last season with the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning. He hasn't scored as much for the Checkers this season as he has for other AHL clubs in the past, but he, like Sutter, has provided physical presence and leadership. He also brings versatility, as he's able to play on either wing.
Nicolas Blanchard, who was on the verge of making his NHL debut before suffering an injury late last season, could also be in this mix. However, more bad timing may prevent that from happening, as the forward has missed most of the team's last four games.
Third-Line Center
It's possible this spot will be filled by an NHL veteran along the lines of Jussi Jokinen, but there could also be a few options in Charlotte should they prefer to keep the versatile Finn in a top-six role.
Dalpe would be among that group, as the Hurricanes have spoken of the possibility of moving him back to his natural position should the opportunity arise. However, if they are committed to using him on the wing, other names rise to the forefront.
Jeremy Welsh seemed to be the leading candidate for the job prior to the season and could again merit consideration. However, he hasn't adjusted to the professional game in Charlotte quite as quickly as the Hurricanes may have expected, meaning he may need more seasoning before he plays next season in the NHL under his one-way contract. Welsh has improved as the season progressed, scoring 12 points in 36 games.
Riley Nash is another option, as the team was happy with his all-around game before he suffered a concussion midway through last season. Nash, who has 18 points for the Checkers, including a three-point performance on Friday, played his first five NHL games with Carolina last season, recording one assist.
With Faulk guaranteed to go up, five NHL veterans coming back and top junior prospect Ryan Murphy likely head to camp, this will be the hardest position to crack, though a few players hope to force the Hurricanes into making a difficult decision.
Bobby Sanguinetti, who made his Hurricanes debut in the midst of a 44-points-in-44-games finish to last season with the Checkers, leads that group. He hasn't scored at the same pace this season – partially because the additions of Faulk and Marc-Andre Gragnani have lightened the offensive burden placed entirely on his shoulders last season – but has made the necessary improvements to his all-around game. No longer just an offensive defenseman, Sanguinetti has shown the ability to be responsible in his own end, which would help him crack the NHL lineup in a depth role.
Gragnani, like Wallace at forward, has the edge in experience. The AHL's defenseman of the year two seasons ago spent all of last season in the NHL with Buffalo and Vancouver and certainly has the skill to go back, though he has been limited by injury this season. He has missed each of the Checkers' last seven games and may not be healthy enough to attend camp.
Even if one of those players isn't able to crack the Hurricanes' top six, the NHL club will want to have an extra player or two around just in case.

Australia's resources and energy commodity export earnings are forecast to continue to grow over the medium term to reach a record $225 billion (in 2011–12 dollars) in 2016–17. The forecast was released today in the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics' (BREE) Resources and Energy Quarterly—March quarter 2012.
The growth in resources and energy export earnings over the next five years is forecast to be underpinned by increases in export earnings for most commodities, including LNG, iron ore and thermal coal.
"Despite projections of lower commodity prices relative to 2010–11 over the medium term, increased resources and energy export earnings are projected to be underpinned by substantially greater export volumes for most commodities" said Professor Grafton, BREE's Executive Director and Chief Economist, on releasing the report.
A large proportion of increases in export earnings are expected to come from LNG, with eight projects (including the almost complete Pluto project) under construction. Export volumes are forecast to increase from 20 million tonnes in 2011–12 to over 60 million tonnes in 2016–17, while export earnings for LNG are also forecast to treble over the same period to $30 billion.
"The growth in Australia's LNG industry over the next five years is underpinned by over $175 billion worth of investment to expand capacity in Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory," said Professor Grafton.
Between 2011–12 and 2016–17 export volumes are forecast to increase for iron ore (62 per cent), metallurgical coal (47 per cent), thermal coal (65 per cent), copper ores and concentrates (77 per cent) and alumina (29 per cent).
"The increase in Australia's export volumes for most commodities reflects commitments by the industry to increase production and expand infrastructure capacity over the medium term," said Professor Grafton.

The Receding Tide of Medical Malpractice LitigationMyungho PaikNorthwestern University - School of Law Bernard S. BlackNorthwestern University - School of Law; Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) David A. HymanUniversity of Illinois College of Law February 21, 2013 Northwestern Law & Econ Research Paper No. 12-18 7th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies Paper Illinois Program in Law, Behavior and Social Science Paper No. LBSS12-13 Abstract: The U.S. has experienced three medical malpractice ("med mal") crises in the past forty years. In response, thirty-one states now have caps on non-economic or total damages. Researchers have studied the impact of these caps, relative to control states without caps, but have not studied either trends in no-cap states or overall national trends. Using national data on paid medical malpractice claims against physicians, we find that the rate of paid claims per physician has been dropping steadily for 20 years, and is less than half the 1992 level. Payouts per physician have been dropping since 2003, and are now 48% below their 1992 level. The decline in claims and payouts is somewhat larger in the 11 states that adopt damage caps during our sample period, but there are large declines in all no-cap states. We identify factors that contribute to these trends, in part by using quantile regressions to study changes in the distribution of payouts (prior studies study only changes in means). We also report the first clear evidence that damage caps reduce both claim rates and payout per claim, and thus strongly reduce payout per physician. In contrast, other med mal reforms have no significant impact on either claim rates or payout per claim.

I hope ~3 months and ~50 pages is enough to justify a new Item Find Thread, but here's the link to the old one anyways.
I have probably picked up roughly 5000 magic sorceress orbs in my D2 career in the search for 2 specific mods together. You wouldn't think that "only" 2 mods would prove that elusive of a combo, but I've found 6 SoJ's, 3 Stormlashes and even a Tyrael's Might while ID'ing almost every ilvl 60+ magic orb along the way searching for this.
Finally though, while bouncing through LK and watching a hockey game (i.e. mindless rune-runs), my orb dropped. My twinked characters will never have to pick up a single blue orb again. The only orb left to find, of course, is Death's Fathom. Grail-4, and that's one of 'em. Honestly though, because blue-colored sorceress orbs are exponentially more frequent drops than gold-colored Diminsional Shards, this feels like something more of a victory considering the time it'll save me going forward.
So without further ado:
Volcanic Smoked Sphere
One-Hand Damage: 6 to 15
Durability: 18 of 18
(Sorceress Only)
Required Level: 45
Orb Class - Normal Attack Speed
Item Version 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 80
Fingerprint: 0x190fe5e7
+39 to Life
+1 to Thunder Storm (Sorceress Only)
+2 to Frozen Orb (Sorceress Only)
+3 to Enchant (Sorceress Only)
+3 to Fire Skills (Sorceress Only)
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (2: 0 used)
Apologies if there's typo's in the ATMA readout - my "good" laptop still needs a new HD so I can retire my old non-networking-but-still-D2-capable laptop, which means I had to hand-type this readout.
Thanks to Larzuk for the two sockets. I don't have a couple of +5% Damage Fire Facets to stick in it at the moment, nor a perfect +Fire Damage Ormus Robes, nor a couple of +2 beta-BKWB rings (nor do I use hacks that could give me Hellfire Torch/Annihulis)... but otherwise my Enchantress' prebuff gear has progressed as far as it can: 10xskillers + Enchant Ormus + Magefists +2xSoJ +Arachnid's Mesh + Spirit + +6Orb + Volcanic Amulet & Circlet + Call To Arms switch = Level 52 Enchant providing 5k average damage with 1344 second duration...
... the irony is that I'm definitely staying retired from HF-rushing or self-MP (and never bothered with MP or trade and won't start), so this orb doesn't provide any practical benefit at all anymore. But the search itself had become such a habit that I wasn't willing to give it up until I got my orb. Finally, I did.
PS. I guess I could keep searching for a Volcanic +3 Enchant +3 Fire Mastery orb though.

CARPINTERIA Calif. CKE Restaurants Inc. is testing the sale of its Hardee's brand biscuits at a Carl's Jr. location in Southern California. Andrew Puzder, CKE's chief executive, said Tuesday that the goal is to expand breakfast sales at Carl's Jr., where hamburgers account for most of morning daypart business. Sister brand Hardee's, on the other hand, is known for its Southern-style biscuits and attributes about 45 percent of its sales to breakfast.The biscuits are being tested in a ...

Making markets work for the poor
Practical Action South Asia
Small scale producers and processors survive with extreme difficulty amidst the forces of globalisation and the resulting competitive environment that is unfavourable to them. Some of the more common issues faced by small producers are the lack of access to markets, limiting factors to maintain sustainable relationships with markets, lack of technical assistance to develop and diversify products, lack of government incentives (such as low interest credit and tax concessions), and the lack of professionalism.
The aim theme - making markets work for poor aims to enable poor women and men to use technologies effectively in systems of production, processing and marketing to build secure livelihoods. In this regard, it works in close relation with the small scale producers, processors and small and medium enterprises in South Asia, so that these communities are able to secure livelihoods and food security in an enabling environment.
However, disasters like tsunami and the South-Asian earthquake slightly changed the focus of this programme to incorporate the disaster context too as when resource poor people are affected by hazards their overall livelihoods get destroyed. This is because these resource scarce communities, in an effort to live and cope with various hazards make risk management a part of their daily life. Therefore, the aim theme, in its work in the sectors of fisheries, rebuilding livelihoods of the tsunami affected, community driven sustainable development, information and research and organic agriculture, apply the disaster resistant sustainable livelihood approach. The Disaster Resistant Sustainable Livelihood (DRSL) approach adopted by Practical Action focuses on making livelihoods resistant to disasters by creating opportunities, and understanding markets.

for some reason #3 is not showing up for me.
Edit: scratch that, it just loaded. I went with 4 because of the quarters. I know that has nothing to do with the signature but reminded me of that.

So I guess the theme was actually "anything from the Resident Evil franchise" then
Like if the theme had been Die Hard you don't expect to see sigs featuring Maggie Q!
A.tab (09-05-2012)
I belive theres nothing wrong with this week sigs. I see only Resident Evil related stuff, so theres no problem.
What i think happened is that many people don't know the Resident Evil games. In fact there were 8 games before the first movie. So for me its natural that some of the sigs is based in the games.
I didn't say there were anything wrong with them, if I felt there were anything wrong with one of them I wouldn't allow it to be in the competition
Without doing a poll thread, I chose Resident Evil to see if the sigs would gravitate more towards the game or movie. Well, as most showed Milla, I got my answer. I thought it would expose any gamers amongst the artists in the CB!!!!
Sorry that you seen that as unfair. I see it as an informational tool to be used later.
A Frigid Production. Awesome Bro!!!!
I undestand what you are saying. I was just pointing that theres more things about resident evil than the movies.
merlin! (09-05-2012)
Posting my reply over in the discussion thread so we can continue to talk about it if needed after this thread is expired.
TheOne (09-05-2012)
Oh totally. I was going to do my sig based on the game because I played it back in the day and it's the daddy of the survival horror genre. I just couldn't find images that I could be sure were from then, either screenshots or artwork. So I had to go with the first movie.
all great but i voted for #1 because of Michelle Rodriguez.
#5 was a close 2nd, like the old school video game look.
Sig #1. Michelle Rodriguez is in the image.
Voted #1.
Just liked it more than the others
Thanks, AFX!

This was printed from San Francisco Business Times
A digest of important news from sources selected by our local editors. Delivered weekday mornings.
Former GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich's Center for Health Transformation, his for-profit consulting firm, is being bought out of bankruptcy by Georgia's Wellstar Health System, according to trade pub Modern Healthcare.
The price tag, the trade publication reports: just $20,000.
Former U.S. House Speaker Gingrich created the center in 2003 and used it as a source of big bucks and a steady stream of PR until it filed for liquidation last spring, its goals apparently met.
Creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings included a passel of health care entities, most notably — at least for those of us residing in Northern California — Sacramento-based hospital and health care giant Sutter Health, according to Modern Healthcare. "Members paid dues ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 for a chance to rub shoulders with Gingrich and other policymakers," the trade pub noted in its Nov. 19 issue.
Plus the chance, although Modern Healthcare doesn't say so, to listen to the famously garrulous Gingrich ramble on about health care reform and other transformative issues til the cows come home.
Chris Rauber's beats include health care, insurance and the wine industry for the San Francisco Business Times.

Nobody sets out to create a monster. Zelda is a 20-pound Scottie who develops Herculean strength the minute a leash is clipped on her collar. Holden hasn't met a bicycle he doesn't want to chase. Mia barks non-stop. Buster lunges at every animal in his path. We've all seen it. Some of us have even lived it. It's common enough. So common, in fact, that an entire industry has been built around it.
The problem is, most people have only the vaguest idea of how quickly a puppy will grow and how much work it takes to make sure that sweet puppy grows into a sweet, obedient adult. The dog you want, the Rin Tin Tin or Lassie of your dreams, doesn't just happen. It takes work and commitment and time and energy.
According to a study by the National Council on Pet Population, Study, and Policy (NCPPSP) published in the July 2012 issue of the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 96 percent of dogs being given up for adoption had not received any obedience training. It's scary to suddenly be dealing with an out-of-control big dog. It's exhausting to live with an energetic small dog who never "hears" you. A visit to the local animal shelter can be a real eye-opener – there are dogs of every shape and size available for adoption.
Obviously, we at Abby Kennels in Chelmsford want you to train with us. We're professional trainers, passionate about our work and committed to a high standard of excellence. But more importantly, we want you to train. Search for someone you trust. Observe a couple of classes without your dog. Watch the trainer interact with his/her own dogs. Find a method that works for you. Ask questions. Practice, practice, practice. Have fun while you celebrate your progress. If you do only one thing this year for your dog, train it! Everyone will thank you.

I have a six-year old Shih-Tzu who just seems to do only what he wants to do. He can be manipulated into doing what I want via cookies as his want of cookies overrides most all of his other wants. This has proven to be troublesome. He has been to one obedience training class at PetSmart, and, although they gave him a diploma, I am not sure he really learned a thing. Is there hope? Can you help?

Hi Mark! Thanks for reading our blog. We completely understand your situation. You are far from alone! And we can certainly help you! Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get started on training your dog!

Phone apps help blind 'see'
Locate and identify things, landmarks, signs...
Two innovative mobile phone applications are in development that, it's claimed, will help the blind and visually impaired more easily identify everyday objects and independently navigate.
Can't see the video? Download Flash Player from Adobe.com
SeeScan's a text-to-speech app designed by US firm iVisit which uses a mobile phone's camera to recognise everyday objects. When the camera's pointed towards something the app recognises, a description's read out to the user.
A database helps the software identify various objects. The database can be trained, iVisit claimed. Presumably a sighted person's help is required here.
The firm's also pitching SeeScan as an app for reading out labels from medicine bottles.
Its second app, SeeStar, is a location awareness tool designed to act like a pair of eyes for the user.
SeeStar connects to a sighted remote assistant who describes the visually impaired person's surroundings according the image the phone's camera is picking up. GPS data and Google Maps also helps the assistant define the person's exact location.
But SeeStar isn't totally dependent on the sighted remote user, because it's also able to automatically recognise landmarks and signs.
An iVisit spokesperson told Register Hardware that it currently has both applications running on Windows Mobile 5 and higher handsets, each equipped with touchscreens and 3G.
SeeStar and SeeScan should be available this summer, with support for non-Windows Mobile devices expect to follow by the end of 2009. ®
Er, what?
So this helps blind people find objects; as long as you know where the object is and can point a camera at it?
Is it just me or have this company just moved the problem?
If SeeScan and SeeStar work well and are somewhat affordable, this will be a huge step towards independence for the visually impaired.
Ray Kurzweil's KNFB Reader combines a phone camera with OCR software. That's supposedly enough (I haven't used one) to read street signs, but object recognition is a whole new level.
And Peter said I shall order the loaves and fishes with this handy app
And Low the Virgin Father of the Jesus-Phone said "they shall make Apps and they shall be good"
When will the resurrection app be released in time for next Easter ?
Great idea
This could also be of use to the machine-vision and self-driving-cars community.

There was a radio story this morning about workers at a health clinic in Burgettstown (west of Pittsburgh, PA) getting sick from fumes. They're temporarily moving the clinic.
Published: May 15, 2012
by Rob Stein
Kay Allen had just started work, and everything seemed quiet at the Cornerstone Care community health clinic in Burgettstown, Pa. But things didn't stay quiet for long. "All the girls, they were yelling at me in the back, 'You gotta come out here quick. You gotta come out here quick,'" said Allen, 59, a nurse from Weirton, W.Va. Allen rushed out front and knew right away what all the yelling was about. The whole place reeked — like someone had spilled a giant bottle of nail polisher remover. "So I told everybody to get outside and get fresh air. So we went outside. And Aggie said, 'Kay, I'm gonna be sick.' But before I get in, to get something for her to throw up in — she had to go over the railing," she said.
Nothing like this had ever happened in the 20 years that Allen has been at the clinic. After about 45 minutes, she thought the coast was clear and took everyone back inside. "It was fine. But the next thing you know, they're calling me again. There was another gust. Well, the one girl, Miranda, she was sitting at the registration place, and you could tell she'd had too much of it. And Miranda got overcome by that and she passed out," she said.
'It's The Unknown I Think That's The Scariest Thing'
This sort of thing has been happening for weeks. Mysterious gusts of fumes keep wafting through the clinic. In fact, just the day before being interviewed by NPR, Allen suddenly felt like she'd been engulfed by one of these big invisible bubbles. "And all of a sudden your tongue gets this metal taste on it. And it feels like it's enlarging, and it just feels like you're not getting enough air in, because your throat gets real 'burn-ey.' And the next I know I ... passed out," Allen said.
Half a dozen of Allen's co-workers stopped coming in. One old-timer quit. No one can figure out what's going on. For doctors and nurses used to taking care of sick people, it's unnerving to suddenly be the patients. "It's the unknown I think that's the scariest thing," she said.
Richard Rinehart, who runs the rural clinic, can't help but wonder whether the natural gas drilling going on all around the area may have something to do with what's been happening. "I lay at bed at night thinking all kinds of theories. Is something coming through the air from some process that they're using? I know they use a lot of chemicals and so forth. Certainly that could be a culprit. We're wondering, Is something coming through the ground?" Rinehart said, noting that he'd just noticed a new drill on a hill overlooking the back of the clinic.
Now, no one knows whether the gas drilling has anything to do with the problems at the clinic. It could easily turn out to be something completely unrelated. There's a smelting plant down the road and old coal mines everywhere. "Anything could be possible, and we just are trying to get to the root of it," he said.
Mysterious Symptoms, Lots Of Questions
People living near gas well drilling around the country are reporting similar problems, plus headaches, rashes, wheezing, aches and pains and other symptoms. Doctors like Julie DeRosa, who works at Cornerstone, aren't sure how to help people with these mysterious symptoms. "I don't want to ignore symptoms that may be clues to a serious condition. I also don't want to order a lot of unnecessary tests. I don't want to feed any kind of hysteria," DeRosa said.
To try to figure out what's going on, the clinic called the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, which is investigating. It also started testing the air for chemicals, monitoring wind direction around the clinic and keeping diaries of everyone's symptoms. In addition, the clinic contacted Raina Rippel, project director for the Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project.
The local nonprofit was set up recently to help people in this kind of situation. Her team tested tap water from inside a men's room and from a stream out back. Rippel knows people in the area have lot of questions.
"Is my water fit to drink? Is the air fit to breathe? Am I going to suffer long-term health impacts from this?" she said.
Charles Werntz at West Virginia University, an occupational medicine specialist, is used to dealing with chemical exposures. Lately, he's seeing more people who live near the drilling. But for now, he says he can't really do much more than offer basic advice: Drink bottled water, air out the house, leave your shoes outside. If it's still too bad, move — if possible.
Back at Cornerstone, Rinehart just wants to get back to taking care of patients. "We are in the business of trying to improve and maintain the public's health here. And now we are in the throes of it. And we're trying not to point fingers," Rinehart said. The next day, people got sick again and the clinic had to be evacuated once more. So they've moved the clinic to temporary offices until someone figures out what's going on.

I used an EPA approved gas can yesterday it has no vent so the gas fumes stay in the can,it was sitting in the sun outside not very hot maybe 70's put it in the gas tank pushed the button to release the gas and it sprayed all over my eyes and face,the presure built up inside the can,real smart EPA YOU IDIOTS NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.
RE: "gas and it sprayed all over my eyes and face"
It is obvious that you are not one of the Anti-Fracers; they would have blamed the nearby drilling of a Natural Gas Well for your burning eyes and stinging face.
If you had "played your cookies right", WHAT-THE-HECKbert or Krazy Katherine or Whineing Willie would have told your sad story of being Face-Fraced all over the web.
They might have even made a movie about you.
By confessing what really happened on a public forum, you have just squandered the opportunity to sue Range Resources, or Cabot or CHK (or heck, all of them).
Better luck next time.
All IMHO,
They may not be too good at designing Gas Cans; but you have to admit - the EPA is darned good at testing Dimock well water.
If a lie is repeated often enough and loudly enough - many will come to believe those lies - many have come to believe those lies.
At every push the liars/distorters make, we need to push back - and push back hard.
There are many who believed that their German neighbors were too civilized to engage in the rumored atrocities; some likely believed that until they were boarding the cattle cars destined for Auschwitz.
We should not ignore the evil agenda that lurks in the words of the Anti-Fracers.
We should not ignore the power in the lies and distortions of the Anti-Fracers.
All IMHO,
I am with you there Jack and reporting for duty !
Jack, I suffer from the same maladies... LOL , me too.
RE: "You believe in inciting fear in others and taking away the rights of individuals and corporations based upon innuendo and anecdotal stories, no proof"
I view the actions you describe as despicable; the internet equivalent of "crying fire" in a crowded movie theater.
I think that the individual who posts such garbage should feel as sick when they look in the mirror as I do as I attempt to avert my eyes from their silly grinning face. His Mother must be proud of him - NOT!
All IMHO,
Does any one know if this Paul fella has any land to lease ?
I think this Allen person was ingulfed by a bath tub stinker that nearly made them pass out.
Or maybe it was all of that BS that comes from NPR . Your thoughts .
The saddest thing about continued aimless cries of fire is the numbing effect it has on folks and potential tradgedy if a real alarm is sounded.
That's what im gonna mr. rig by the way cool name !
mr.rig !!! the truth will set us free !!!!

It seems a long time ago that photographer Simon Whitmore & stylist Sally Denning from Ideal Home Magazine spent the day here – so much has happened since!!
The October 2012 Ideal Home magazine dropped through the letter box this morning – there's a lovely article with lots of images and an interview by Joanna Simmons. We talk about the alterations we made to the house, the features we like and its eclectic contents. It's certainly nice to see what the place looked like pre-flood!
Click here to have a look at the rest of the feature and below is a slide show of lots of other photos that were taken on the day but didn't make it into the magazine.

Eliminating expression of erucic acid-encoding loci allows the identification of "hidden" QTL contributing to oil quality fractions and oil content in Brassica juncea (Indian mustard).
Theor Appl Genet 122(6):1091-103 (2011) PMID 21188349
Oil content and oil quality fractions (viz., oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid) are strongly influenced by the erucic acid pathway in oilseed Brassicas. Low levels of erucic acid in seed oil increases oleic acid content to nutritionally desirable levels, but also increases the linoleic and linolenic acid fractions and reduces oil content in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea). Analysis of phenotypic variability for oil quality fractions among a high-erucic Indian variety (Varuna), a low-erucic east-European variety (Heera) and a zero-erucic Indian variety (ZE-Varuna) developed by backcross breeding in this study indicated that lower levels of linoleic and linolenic acid in Varuna are due to substrate limitation caused by an active erucic acid pathway and not due to weaker alleles or enzyme limitation. To identify compensatory loci that could be used to increase oil content and maintain desirable levels of oil quality fractions under zero-erucic conditions, we performed Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping for the above traits on two independent F1 doubled haploid (F1DH) mapping populations developed from a cross between Varuna and Heera. One of the populations comprised plants segregating for erucic acid content (SE) and was used earlier for construction of a linkage map and QTL mapping of several yield-influencing traits in B. juncea. The second population consisted of zero-erucic acid individuals (ZE) for which, an Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)-based framework linkage map was constructed in the present study. By QTL mapping for oil quality fractions and oil content in the ZE population, we detected novel loci contributing to the above traits. These loci did not co-localize with mapped locations of the fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2), fatty acid desaturase 3 (FAD3) or fatty acid elongase (FAE) genes unlike those of the SE population wherein major QTL were found to coincide with mapped locations of the FAE genes. Some of the new loci identified in the ZE population could be detected as 'weak' contributors (with LOD due to pleiotropic effects of erucic acid genes. The novel loci identified in this study could now be used to improve oil quality parameters and oil content in B. juncea under zero-erucic conditions.

Due, in part, to Christie's veto of same-sex marriage legislation, local gay activists will protest outside Gov. Mitt Romney's "Victory Rally" at the Natatorium on Tuesday evening.
Thousands will flood Cuyahoga Falls on Tuesday evening to cheer on the Republican presidential candidate, but there's some who plan to protest against Romney, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Mayor Don Robart. Shane May, of Akron, organized the protest via social media and said he's expecting protestors from local gay rights groups, like GetEqual of Ohio, to join him on the picket line for various reasons. In a Patch email interview on Oct. 8, May wrote: "It was an extreme disappointment when Gov. Christie vetoed the same-sex marriage bill within the state of New Jersey (in February)...Both of the men visiting my hometown tomorrow have made their points pretty clear where they stand with the LGBT community, and it was no shock that …

I think not many people have heard about this site. A lot of the other competition sites you go to, you can tell you and half the planet had already registered. With this one, its definitely quieter. I won some amazon vouchers.
Good competitions, plenty of variety and an easy to use web site. I signed up a couple of weeks ago and I havent received any marketing emails. They seemed to be a pretty reliable site for competitions.

First there was papal bull Laudibiliter, 1167. Then there was the Act of Union, 1800/'01. Then there was a duly debated and passed Irish Home Rule Bill/Act, 1910. Then there was Carsons Covenant, 1912 threatening sedition against a monarch and parliament they swore allegience to? Then there was Carson and Crawford's extra constitutional Ulster Volunteer Force, 1913. The there was Mac Neill's reactionary Irish Volunteers and Connolly's Citizen Army 1913. Then there was the Abrahamic aberration of a war that was not so great, brough to you at theatre of battle near you by avaricious European imperial powers. Then there was Pearse's Proclamation of an independent Irish Republic, 1916. Then there was the Anglo-Irish Treaty and Government of Ireland Act, 1920. Then there was a War of Independence and Civil War, 1920-'22. The rest is hysteria, against which anything Citizen Adams et al did or are supposed to have done pales into insignificance.

Yes you are "petty enough" Dano !! How narrow your point of view is Lynch (I fail to see why such an un-Irish person would use the Gaelic version of his name) the killings would not have taken place if the British and their surrogate petty so called government in Belfast had represented all the people in the statlet. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the negotiating table with Armalites up their collective ar@@es. And pretentious anti Irish fools like you pretending to take the "high moral ground" are found wanting and lack moral fortitude.

Either way if teh information sought is not there does that not end the waste of funds paying lawyers on both sides of the atlantic?

Like him or not (personally I'm opposed to his socialism), without Adams the GFA was not possible. By engaging in this witch hunt, the british are displaying their typical level of infidelity and dishonor (perfectly exemplified by their imposition of the penal laws following the Treaty of Limerick).

Been away on service with my army buddies for a while, but I see the same old anti people are still on this site complaining about the Irish State with their BLAH BLAH. most of whom appear to live abroad. I'm delighted to be back in dear old peaceful Irish Republic (except for the ongoing gang warfare) after some of the things I've seen.

From the Diocese of Durham
Parishioners and dignitaries at a Wearside church today (Jan 22) gathered to celebrate the award of an accolade from Visit England.
A coveted Red Rose in the Places of Interest Quality Assurance scheme has gone to St Michael & All Angels Church, the Anglican parish church in Houghton le Spring in the Diocese of Durham.
The award recognises the quality of the visitor experience, including the information on offer, the amount of time people stay and the accessibility of the building. It also recognises the work of a team of at least 30 volunteers who give guided tours and welcome people to the church.
The Right Revd Mark Bryant, Bishop of Jarrow, said: "This is a wonderful recognition for the volunteers who come here faithfully week in and week in out to welcome the people who come to this very significant part of our North East Christian heritage.
"What the award is saying is that the quality of the welcome and the quality of the experience that people will have when they come is equivalent to some of our finest and most important tourist attractions."
Sunderland Mayor Councillor Iain Kay said: "I think it's quite a tremendous story. It is a badge of honour for Sunderland that a church like this has received such a prestigious award."
Volunteer Jean Henderson, who formerly received the award from the Bishop on behalf of the church, said: "It was a great honour to receive this award."
Until recently, it was thought that the history of worship on the site was restricted to Christianity in the existing grade one listed building, parts of which date back to the 12th Century.
However, a series of remarkable discoveries during work to the church in 2008 suggested that the site could have witnessed worship as far back as Neolithic times 4000 years ago.
The work, known as reordering and designed to make the church more accessible and more suited to the needs of congregations in the 21st century, threw up discovery after discovery, which are now celebrated in a heritage centre in the building

Some ideas on method auto-completion in Padre June 9, 2009
Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.Tags: eclipse, epic, komode edit, netbeans, Padre, Perl, Programming
12 comments
Auto-completion is a nice feature for an IDE. While Padre supports some auto-completion functions, method auto-completion is an important missing feature. This post is a short round-up of features present in other IDEs.
What auto-completion features does Padre support today?
Beside automatic bracket completion, Padre has a nice auto-completion implementation for variables (first character -including sigil- then ctrl + p):
Eclipse + Epic
Epic (an add-on to Eclipse) has a nice working auto-completion feature activated by the method invocator (->).
As a reference, the java auto-completion in Eclipse:
Komodo Edit
Komodo Edit also has auto-completion for methods, but does not show those inherited from parent classes making the feature rather useless for OO development.
Netbeans has no Perl support, nevertheless the java auto-completion feature is a good example:
The method auto-completion feature is activated by the "." ("->" in Perl). Not only you get a list of accessible methods (with expected parameter type and return value), but also the javadoc documentation for the selected method.
How should Padre support method auto-completion? Some ideas
- Method autocomplete should be activated by "->" and "::". This way class hierarchies can be autocompleted as well. With "::" support for functions can be added.
- Private methods should be hidden. By convention, private methods start with "_".
- Linking method autocomplete to perldoc is a winner combination when programming to not yet familiar APIs and certainly friendly to new Perl developers. While Perl is not strictly typed, a well formatted perldoc entry for a method should make clear what kind of parameters are expected and what the return value could be. However, documentation is rather freely formatted, so it would be difficult to implement in a generic way (without adding formatting restriction to classes).

The Shield
Shielding, commonly known as blocking, is simply using your arm to absorb the blows delivered by your opponent. Shielding is best used against hooks, overhands, and wild punches.
The Parry
The parry, many times referred to as the catch (although they are two different things), is nothing more than a slight wave of the hand. It is used as a defensive move against straight punches, usually at mid-range. The majority of the time the parry is used against the jab.
The Slip
To slip a punch means to get your head out of the way. There are several ways to slip a punch and each way has merit. In some cases, one technique works better than others for a particular situation. I will be showing 3 variations of the slip. The key with any form of slipping is not to exaggerate the movement. You do not want to dip or bend so far that you hurt your back, lose your balance or take yourself out of position to counter.
The Weave
I honestly believe that is you could do the Tango, Merengue, the Salsa or any one of those Latin dances, you have a good chance of being a good boxer. Especially a defensive boxer. The weave is not unlike a dance move. Simple, elegant, and effective. The weave is used against hooks and wide punches.
The Shoulder Roll
There will be times in a boxing match when you will not be in position to slip a punch, or get your hands up in time to block/cover or even parry a punch.

MIDVALE — Hollie Curtis has already left for work by the time her husband, Aaron, has baby Abigail ready to drop off at the sitter on the way to his own job. In the late afternoon, they do it in reverse, Hollie picking up the 5-month-old baby because her shift ends first.
That also means Hollie is responsible for dinner most nights, while Aaron handles the baby's late-night fussiness. He'll help with cooking on the weekend.
They are one modern American family, juggling work and family time with an evolving set of challenges. A new report by the Pew Research Center says moms and dads who both work — and that's 60 percent of them — spend roughly the same number of combined hours on paid jobs, housework and child care, though the breakdown is not the same. More traditional roles still hold, but moms are working more hours outside the home than they used to and dads are doing a lot more housework.
50 years later
Parents spend time very differently than they did 50 years ago, says the report, released this week. Parental roles are "converging," and moms and dads share stress about how to balance job and family life obligations and desires.
"Moms are spending more time outside the home and dads are doing more housework," said Kim Parker, associate director for the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project and one of the report's authors. "There are still gender gaps. Moms are still spending more time with the kid than dads, but dads are there three times more than they were 50 years ago."
Past surveys haven't asked dads how hard it is to juggle work and family and whether they'd like more time with the kids. This one did, and Parker said the findings startled her: 56 percent of working moms and 50 percent of working dads said they find it somewhat or very difficult to balance their responsibilities. Dads were also as likely to say they wish they could be home raising their children, although they were more likely than moms to say they'd like full-time work.
To compare parenting in different decades, the researchers surveyed 2,511 adults across America in late 2012 and captured the past with an analysis of the American Time Use Survey from 50 years ago. That survey included a breakdown of how parents spent their time at work and at home.
Attitudes about work
Researchers also examined more recent surveys to see attitudes about work. There, they found that more women say working full time is their ideal situation, a shift driven more by economics than a quest for fulfillment. They need to put food on the table and provide for the family, Parker said. In 2007, 20 percent of women said they'd prefer full-time work; in 2012, 32 percent did. Low-income mothers, whether single or married, were much more likely to want to work full time than other mothers.
Parker also noted a "disconnect between what women want or need and what society says is best." Only 16 percent of the public feels it's best if women work full-time, but 32 percent of women say they want to work full time.
Time-use data shows how parents spent time in 1965: Mothers spent eight hours a week on paid work and fathers did about seven hours on housework and child care. In 2011, moms averaged 21 hours of paid work and dads did about 17 hours of child care and housework.
Even in families where mom doesn't work outside the house, dads are pitching in more and worrying they don't spend enough time with the kids.
Provo dad Marc Andrus works all day while wife Aubri stays home. They have a set of twins, Abby and Brady, 7, and a son, Cameron, 3. They are also expecting another set of twins.

Max Irons
Top 49 MenMacy's More Max Irons pics
Why is He famous
Is it surprising that the son of Jeremy Irons tried his hand at acting? No. What's surprising is that he's good. Really good. Former model Max Irons (who unfortunately had to watch his father make love to a minor in Nolita) who's already starred opposite Amanda Seyfried in Red Riding Hood, is returning to his roots as the face of Macy's, a bold move that's sure to boost an already burgeoning career that includes upcoming roles in Vivaldi and The Host.
Max Irons Quote
" My parents were always gone, and I was always at boarding school, so I didn't really see what they did actively. I didn't naturally gravitate toward watching their work, because when I was young it felt weird."
84 Magnetism
Not every man gets to be anointed a sex symbol by the legendary photographer Mario Testino. But that's exactly what happened to Max Irons, who's chiseled jaw and strapping physique caught Testino's eye from a mile away, compelling him to turn the inexperienced Irons into the face of Burberry. Today the James Dean lookalike jet sets between London and L.A. while he juggles a rising movie career and a white hot relationship with Aussie actress Emily Browning. It's a charmed life. Try it some time.
70 Success
It would be easy to dismiss Max Irons' early success as a direct result of who his parents are, but just because he has Iron in his blood, Max refused to rest on his famous laurels. Today, the son of British acting royalty is well on his way to succeeding his famous father's throne thanks to roles in Red Riding Hood, Vivaldi and the upcoming thriller The Host. And for good measure, the former Burberry model continues his career as a pin-up thanks to his new campaign as the face of Macy's.
Max Irons Biography
Max Irons is Discovered by Mario Testino
According to Max Irons himself, the story of how he suddenly found himself shooting fashion campaigns with Kate Moss, goes something like this: When he was 19, Irons and his girlfriend were returning from a video store, and were walking on opposite sides of the street, common when they'd been fighting. Irons' fit of rage was interrupted by a black SUV that'd pulled up to the curb. A man stepped out, introduced himself as a photographer named Mario, and arranged a meeting with Irons. Afterwards, his girlfriend told him that the man in the SUV was Mario Testino, one of the most famous fashion photographers in the world. Before he knew it, Max Irons was shooting an ad campaign for Burberry with the world's biggest model, Kate Moss.Max Irons Tries His Hand at Acting
Like any parents, Max Irons' were supportive when he announced that he wanted to be an actor. But don't think Jeremy and Sinead --both successful thespians -- didn't offer advice, explaining to their son that only a select few can turn acting into a legitimate career. Irons remained undeterred. Not even his lifelong battle with dyslexia, which often hindered his ability to read scripts, could stop him. Irons started his journey by travelling to Nepal and teaching the craft to local children. When he returned, he was accepted into the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama, all but guaranteeing him an agent after graduation.Max Irons Star Begins to Rise
One look at Max Irons, and you'd know there was never any doubt the youthful heartthrob would take Hollywood by storm. His breakthrough role came courtesy of Catherine Hardwicke, the Twilight director who knows a thing or two about plucking British upstarts from obscurity and turning them into household names. After casting Irons as the rich suitor to Amanda Seyfried's titular Red Riding Hood, Hardwicke pretty much signed, sealed and delivered his next few films, which include the upcoming biopic Vivaldi and Andrew Niccol's sci-fi thriller The Host, based on Stephenie Meyer's best-seller of the same name.Max Irons Becomes The Face of INC International Concepts
If Max Irons isn't a household name yet, he will be. And he'll have his new gig as the INC International Concept's pin-up boy to thank for it. Despite his continued desire to be recognized as an actor first, the soon-to-be ubiquitous ad campaign in which Irons stars, is set to appear in 631 Macy's stores across America. So just try and avoid him. We dare you.Max Irons Vitals
First Impression What makes him admirable is his
