DONALD (- died in prison Rescobie, Forfarshire 1099, buried Dunkeld Abbey, later transferred to Isle of Iona). Brother of King Malcolm, and elected by the Scots to succeed his brother in 1093 as DONALD III "Bane", King of Scotland 1093-1097 [278]. m ---. The name of Donald's wife is not known. Cawley's Medlands King Donald III & his wife had one child, Hextilda's mother:
BETHOC (-[1150/70][288]). The sources are contradictory regarding the supposed child of King Donald. The proofs relating to the claim to the Scottish throne in 1291 made by "dñi Johannis Comyn" name "Gothrik" as the son of "Dovenald filius Duncani filii Erici", and trace John Comyn´s descent from him[289]. However, in the Great Roll, John Comyn traced his descent from Bethoc, daughter and heiress of Donald[290].
Altogether the chronology for Bethoc is stretched almost to beyond credibility. Her supposed father King Donald Bane must have been born before 1040, and yet his daughter is supposed to have been living more than 100 years later, and her supposed second husband living in the last quarter of the 12th century. It is suggested that this supposed descent of Hextilda, wife of Richard Comyn, from King Donald Bane should be treated with caution.
m firstly ([1085]) UHTRED Lord of Tynedale, son of [293]WALTHEOF ---. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Uctred fil Walleof" in Northumberland[294]. Bethoc´s first marriage is confirmed by a charter of King Henry III dated 1261 which confirmed to John Comyn the land inherited from Hextildis, wife of Richard Comyn and daughter of Uhtred son of Waltheof[291].
m secondly RADULF, son of DUNEGALL Lord of Nithsdale (-[1185]).] Her second marriage is referred to by Young but he does not cite the corresponding primary source, which has not yet been identified[292]. Cawley's Medlands
Bethoc & her first husband Uhtred, Lord of Tynedale, had one child, Hextilda:
HEXTILDA of Tynedale. The proofs relating to the claim to the Scottish throne in 1291 made by "dñi Johannis Comyn" name "Hextilde" as daughter and heiress of "Gothrik", son of "Dovenald filius Duncani filii Erici", and "Willelmo" as her son and heir[295].

"Malcolmus comes de Athoil" donated "ecclesiam de Dul" to St Andrew´s priory by undated charter witnessed by "Dunecano comite de Fif, Hextilda comitissa sponsa mea…Henrico et Dunecano filiis meis…"[300].

-------------------- Richard Comyn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Comyn (d. c 1179) was a Scottish noble, the son of William Comyn and Maud Bassett.
Richard was probably born between 1115 and 1123. In 1144 William Comyn gave him Northallerton Castle, which he had built a few years earlier. The following year, Richard was married to Hextilda, the daughter of Uchtred, Lord of Tynedale, and his wife Bethoc ingen Domnaill Bain, the daughter of King Donald III of Scotland.
In Scotland, he acquired the position of Justiciar of Lothian: he witnessed 6 charters for King Malcolm IV and 33 for King William I. He was captured with King William in 1174 and was a hostage for him in the Treaty of Falaise. He gave, with Hextida's consent, lands to the monks at Hexham, Kelso and Holyrood. He died between 1179 and 1182. Hextilda remarried to Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl (also called Malcolm).
Richard had four sons by Hextilda:
John, dead between 1152 and 1159, and buried at Kelso Abbey.
William, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan.
Odinel (also called Odo), a priest, witness to Richard's charters to religious houses in 1162 and 1166.
Simon, mentioned in the 1166 charter to the Augustinians in Holyrood.
and three daughters:
His daughters were witnesses to a donation made by Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl and their mother Hextilda to the Church of St Cuthbert in Durham.

More than 1,800 visit for Kiddie Days
Area children get hands-on experience with farm animals
Published: Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Updated: Monday, April 16, 2012 16:04
The Saddle and Sirloin club successfully held another annual Kiddie Days event Tuesday through Friday last week at Sheppard Arena. More than 1,800 area kids got the opportunity to get up close with a variety of farm-related animals and learn about the impact they can make in individuals' lives.
"We invite kids from the community…that see animals used by farmers or producer in things such as books or movies, but they never get actually see them up close in person or touch them," said event co-chair Andrew Maidl. "Our biggest goal is to educate the kids on the basic information about where their food comes from."
As tour guides, club members tell the kids things they probably don't know about each of the animals. The guides let them know facts such as how old the animals are or how much they weigh, as well as the kind of food that comes from them like milk, pork chops or hamburger.
The Saddle and Sirloin club feels it is important to stress that farmers and ranchers treat the animals humanely. Event co-chair David Larson says it is good for the children to see that the animals are happy and fed well, because it displays how today's American producers are taking care of their animals.
"People can get some negative ideas about the animal agriculture industry when one incident gets blown out of proportion and is spread quickly through new forms of fast-moving media," Larson said. "We like to use this event as an opportunity to make an impression on the kids that we treat the animals well, and they live in a safe and healthy environment."
The kids mostly range from two to seven years old and although their parents are encouraged to bring them in too, they are normally part of groups such as daycares who pre-register to let them know that they are coming. A time can be reserved for each group and the large ones get broken down into groups of about ten. Maidl says it is best to show them around in smaller groups so that they all get a chance to touch the animals and hear what we have to say
"Some of our group will take away the actual information that is being given out, and for the others it will be a sensory experience," Laurie Johnson, a West Fargo High School special education faculty member, said. "Knowing that our students would get to see and touch the animals is why we are here."
Both Maidl and Larson emphasized that they would like to see more campus-wide participation in the annual event. Larson says that we are all kids at heart, and NDSU college students who may have never gotten a chance to be up close with farm animals are welcome to stop in for a look around each year. Maidl added that you are never too young to learn about what agriculture means to you and to perhaps even become involved in it someday.
A variety of agricultural organizations and commissions provided giveaways like coloring books, crayons and informational bookmarks. The event co-chairs are appreciative of the entities they contacted that were willing to donate educational materials that the kids could take home with them.
"We would love to hear about more groups or individuals that would like to come next year so that we can put them on our invitation list," Maidl and Larson said in unison. "The more people we can show that we are doing things the right way, the better it is for both them and the industry."

TLC is inferior to MLC in both power usage and lifespan. What Anandtech tends to do, though, is cheerlead for some products, like the new GeForce Titan card. For that, it used the word "luxury" and the phrase "luxury item" seven times between the blurb and the first page. Anandtech makes people think its reviews are comprehensive, but often they are flawed.
The competition for the "840 Series" is a budget MLC drive.

Does OS write often to SSD? It is the only slow thing here.
If you use this for desktop, power doesnt matter. I usually keep my computer for 2 yrs, so life usage does not matter "I have a dream. We got a nightmare." "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan"."We're gonna work to lower your premiums by up to $2,500 per family." (WHERE?/WHEN?) "What is a low information voter?" For the first time in my life I am not proud of my adopted country. I am not Rush'ed into judgement.

Need some input, I installed this drive in my desktop with AHCI mode enabled,
I ran the Atto benchmark results along with the Samsung Magician, and keep getting a constant write speed of 250 MB/s, is that what's expected? I am getting 500 MB/s on the read. My windows 7 boot is about the same speed as was my 7200 rpm WD black hard drive. Need some input ,because i have the 830 ssd in my laptop and windows 7 boot is instant. thanks |

January 16, 2013 | Updated: January 17, 2013 1:44am
AUSTIN — Top statewide officials are opposing a recommendation allowing counties to use local revenue to pay for expanded Medicaid coverage, and instead say they are targeting fraud and improving the quality of care within the state's $30 billion program for the uninsured poor.

Army over Dartmouth |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
With the Ivy Rugby season fast approaching, Dartmouth took to the field Friday night in their final preseason contest, facing off against traditional Northeast Rugby rivals Army. In an entertaining game under the lights at the Anderson Rugby Complex the Big Green gave the cadets fits, heading into halftime with a 15-13 lead in what turned out to be a very fast and physical preseason match. Ultimately though Army capitalized on a strong performance from its scrum, some quality kicking from All-American flyhalf Will Holder, and a handful of Dartmouth errors early in the second half, to come back to win 35-22. While the result was certainly not what the Big Green wanted, captain and No. 8 Paul Jarvis said the team had several positive things to reflect on as they head into the Ivy Rugby conference season. "I was proud of the overall physical effort and I thought the squad fronted up well in the contact exchanges. Mentally we need to work on reducing the penalty count, some better tactical decisions at times, and repositioning faster," he said. Coach Alexander Magleby agreed, saying that he had not seen the team play so well on defense in the rucks against an Army side in a long while. That Dartmouth was close to pulling out the victory until almost the very end was no small feat considering how inauspiciously they started. After Dartmouth missed the initial kick-off, missing a penalty kick for touch, and then committing a handful of penalties, Army was able to break through the line for a try only a few minutes into the game for a 7-0 lead. Faced with such early adversity, the Big Green responded with a try of their own, as flyhalf Will Lehmann scooped a knock-on on the 5-meter line, after the defense had worked hard to pin Army there from a kick-off, and went in for the try to cut the deficit to 7-5, with fullback and Junior All-American Madison Hughes just missing the conversion from the corner. It would remain one try apiece for awhile as the two teams played a territory game trying to create an advantage for their attacks. In the end, Dartmouth wound up being the side that broke through, stringing together a handful of line-breaks from a lineout at halfway, eventually with lock Dylan Jones '14 trundling 20 meters for a 12-7 lead. From there, the rest of the scoring in the half was limited to penalties, as Army's Holder kicked two to retake the lead before Madison Hughes added one of his own to give Dartmouth the 15-13 advantage going into intermission. The Big Green would not be able to hold onto their lead for long however. Only a few minutes later Army had territorial superiority off of two Dartmouth penalties, with Holder converting the last one once again put themselves ahead 16-15. Shortly after, they would tack on a try as well to increase the advantage to 23-15. About 10 minutes later, Army appeared to be on the verge of putting the game out of reach with another score to make the lead 30-15. While Dartmouth would not be able to recover from the tactical mistakes they made in the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half, they continued to show no quit. Lehmann once again proved as the catalyst, as he connected with center Michael Burbank who took it the rest of the way to make the score 30-22 with the game winding down. Unfortunately for Dartmouth that would be their last score for the night, as Army would add another try late as Dartmouth was forced to run out from around their try. Dartmouth will now turn their attention to the conference part of their schedule, which they'll kick off this weekend with a road trip through New York. First up, on Saturday, Sept. 24th they'll be in Ithaca to take on Cornell at 3:30 pm. Then on Sunday, Sept. 25th they'll head down to New York City to play Columbia at 2pm, directions are here: Army next takes on Boston College at the Anderson Rugby Complex at West Point September 24 at 3pm. |

Horror Education of the Week: 'Children of the Corn'
"What about Gatlin?"
"Gatlin! There ain't nothin' in Gatlin."
"What do you mean there ain't nothin' in Gatlin?"
"Well, folks in Gatlin's got a religion. They don't like outsiders…"
Children of the Corn was released in 1984. Based on the short story by Stephen King, the film tells the story of the town of Gatlin, Nebraska. A demonic god, referred to as "He Who Walks Behind the Rows", has commanded that the children of Gatlin kill their parents and all adults to ensure that the cornfields will prosper.
As the years go by, the children continue to sacrifice those who age into adulthood, and any interlopers that happen to stumble into town.

Photo: Jennifer Heckel (August 25, 2011) |
Billy Joe Craig Jr. and Charles Christopher Logsdon were bound over for trial on six charges, including first degree murder and robbery for the mistaken identity murder of Hutchinson mother Jennifer Heckel.
Reno Co. District Court Judge Joseph McCarville made the ruling after a three day preliminary hearing in which he listened to testimony from nearly two dozen witnesses.
McCarville scheduled a March 5th, 2012 arraignment for Logsdon and Craig. They're charged with the death of 27-year-old Jennifer Heckel. Heckel was found shot to death inside her Hutchinson home last June.
During the three day hearing, witnesses testified Heckel was not the intended target of a crime. However, prosecutors didn't disclose exactly how Craig and Logsdon ended up at her home.
The prosecution didn't have to provide all of the details. The purpose of a preliminary hearing is to prove to the judge there's enough evidence to send the case to trial.
Before the judge ruled, prosecutors called drug users, convicts and associates of Craig and Logsdon in an effort to unravel a web of criminal activity they believe ultimately led to the mistaken identity killing Heckel.
A former jail inmate testified about conversations he had with defendant Logsdon while both men were locked-up in Ford County last year.
Witness Steven Dome told the court Logsdon spoke about the murder of Jennifer Heckel on several different occasions during the days they were housed together. According to Dome's testimony, Logsdon and co-defendant Billy Craig owed $19,000 to a drug dealer in Wichita and made arrangements to kill another woman in exchange for forgiving the debt.
Dome said Logsdon was also concerned about a cigarette that had been left at the scene with his DNA on it. Dome said Logsdon told him he received a text from Craig the next morning saying they had killed the wrong person. Prosecutors showed a video from inside the pod Dome and Logsdon shared at the jail.
Dome testified the video shows Logsdon reenacting Heckel's murder, as he dropped to his knees and pointed a gun to his head.
Dome acknowledged receiving a plea deal from Ford County in exchange for his cooperation and testimony in the Heckel murder case.
The state called a second man who was jailed in Ford County in the same pod cell as Logsdon. Justin White said he knew nothing about Heckel's murder until he met Logsdon.
White described Logsdon as "cold-blooded" and "cocky" and said he had been bragging about elements of the Heckel murder and another shooting he'd been involved with. White said Logsdon told him he was "really high" on meth the night of the murder and that Heckel's son had seen him. White testified he was not offered anything in exchange for his testimony.
Earlier this week, prosecutors showed the judge a videotaped interview defendant Billy Joe Craig Jr. gave to police with his attorney present. Hutchinson Police Detective Tyson Meyer testified Craig volunteered the statement in an effort to work out a plea deal in the Heckel case. On the video, Craig can be seen dropping his head on the table and weeping as he describes the events that led up to Heckel's death.
"I've been praying to the Lord for forgiveness every day," Craig told investigators as he recalled driving co-defendant Charles Christopher Logsdon and another man (who has not been charged) to the house June 14th, 2011.
"I wanted my money" Craig said on the tape. He said the plan was to steal from a known drug dealer. Craig said he knew one of the men with him had a gun, but he thought it would only be used to scare the target. Craig said he slumped in the driver's seat of the car while the Logsdon and the other man went inside the home. They returned to the car a few minutes later and jumped inside saying "We shot her, we shot her," Craig recalled on the video.
"I couldn't believe they done that. They were just supposed to get my money," he continued. Repeatedly Craig told the investigators his story was the complete truth.
However, once the video concluded, Meyer testified there were pieces of Craig's story that didn't add up and he said Craig later recanted the story altogether.
Prior to showing the tape, many of the witnesses called to the stand appeared combative and uncooperative. They often bickered with attorneys about the wording or direction of questions and their memories of prior police interviews are fuzzy.
Among those who testified was Dana Craig, ex-wife of the defendant. She argued with prosecutors about Craig's whereabouts the night of Heckel's murder and appeared to give her ex-husband an alibi. She also blew a kiss to Craig as she left the witness stand.
Another witness, Kylie Hartman, invoked her 5th Amendment right against self incrimination in response to most questions from the state. Hartman's attorney sat by her side and held up five fingers when advising her to invoke the right. Hartman is charged in a computer fraud and identity theft case. Craig is also a defendant in that case.
Before that, several witnesses talked about conversations they had with the defendants about Heckel. A friend Milissa Lewis talked about a conversation she had with Craig in late June or early July during the investigation of Heckel's murder. She said police came to Craig's apartment to ask him questions. Afterward, she said he was ranting and raving about how he was going to go to prison for murder. She says he would say things like how was I supposed to know she was a mother. She says Craig told her all he could do was put his head down, point the gun, and shoot. Lewis is an admitted former meth user and says Craig often sold her drugs.
A woman, whose identity we can't reveal, was the intended target of a robbery the night Jennifer Helckel was murdered, prosecutors said. The woman admitted selling drugs to co-defendant Craig in the past. She said after she was informed co-defendant Logsdon was planning to rob her, she panicked, moved out of state and got out of the drug business.
A friend of Logsdon testified he told her he was involved with Heckel's murder. 39-year-old Karra Branton is currently in prison for a parole violation on a drug conviction. She testified Logsdon told her another woman, not Heckel was not the intended target. She testified Logsdon told her they were going to print up counterfeit money in exchange for drugs. He told her something happened, they couldn't make the money and intended steal the drugs. Branton didn't provide information on how Logsdon ended up at Heckel's home.
Police officer's also took the stand to talk about the crime scene. Heckel's son went to a neighbor's house after the shooting to say his mother had been hurt. When officer's arrived on the scene, they found Heckel had been shot four times, including two bullets to the back of her head. The officer also showed the judge video he shot of the crime scene, which showed Heckel's body on the floor of the kitchen after EMS tried unsuccessfully to revive her.
Craig and Logsdon are charged with first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and felon in possession of a firearm. They'll be back in court March 5th.

[JURIST] The conflict-ravaged nations of Somalia, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Iraq rank among the world's most corrupt, according to the 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) [text; press release] prepared by Transparency International (TI) [advocacy website]. The index, released Tuesday, ranked 180 countries based on observations by businesspeople and analysts, giving each a score between 0 and 10. Somalia had the lowest score of 1.1, while Afghanistan scored 1.3, Myanmar scored 1.4, and Sudan and Iraq tied at 1.5. More than half of the countries surveyed had scores below 5. TI suggests that the global financial crisis may be contributing to corruption, especially in countries that lack stable governments. TI chair Huguette Labelle said:
Stemming corruption requires strong oversight by parliaments, a well performing judiciary, independent and properly resourced audit and anti-corruption agencies, vigorous law enforcement, transparency in public budgets, revenue and aid flows, as well as space for independent media and a vibrant civil society. The international community must find efficient ways to help war-torn countries to develop and sustain their own institutions.

Forty one year old Richard Mann was pulled over yesterday afternoon by narcotics officers in a traffic stop. In the back seat of his sedan was a green bag and it was full of gopher tortoises. Mann admitted trapping the animals so he could sell all six of them for one hundred dollars; and that's not all.
Lt. Gregg Eason said, "According to his own admission...he has a drug problem and he was trying to get some money to support that addiction."
Mann now faces thirteen misdemeanor charges of trapping, possessing, and attempting to sell gopher tortoises. Five of the tortoises will be returned to the wild. One tortoise is thought to have died during it's trapping. The tortoises are not considered to be endangered but are considered to be at special risk so trapping them is illegal.

The best part is that Sara started her thriving goji plants from the seeds of Sunfood's very own raw, organic, non-GMO goji berries! Her gojis have been growing since 2010, offering one bountiful harvest every summer that we all get to enjoy here at Sunfood.
"Growing gojis has been one of the most delightful things I've ever done," says Sara with a big smile. "Having raw fresh gojis is one of the rare pleasures in life and everyone should do it because they're so easy to grow! The more gojis you eat, the more benefits you get!"
Sara's #1 tip for growing gojis: "Either contain them or they'll take over! If you have the space, it's best to plant them where they can go wild!"
Why Are Goji Berries So Good for You?
Longevity! Goji berries are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants associated with longevity. The legend of master Chinese herbalist Li Ching Yuen's long life was said to be mere folklore until an Imperial Chinese government record was found from 1827, congratulating Li Ching-Yuen on his 150th birthday. In addition to his practice of Qigong, an ancient exercise of breathing and movement, Yuen was said to have consumed goji berries daily.
Anti-cancer! The unique polysaccharides (long chain sugars) found in goji berries are known to have immune-supporting effects. One research study showed that these polysaccharides directly resulted in the inhibition of prostate cancer cells in terms of significantly reducing both tumor volume and weight.2
Anti-Aging! Those special polysaccharides found in goji berries that we just mentioned? They're known to be what's called a secretagogue, a substance that causes the pituitary gland to produce Human Growth Hormone (HGH).3 Stimulating our bodies to produce HGH is essential for retaining youth because we naturally produce less and less, the older we get.
Overall Wellness! In one study, healthy adults who consumed the juice of goji berries for two weeks filled out questionnaires to track changes to their overall health. The results showed significantly increased ratings for energy levels, athletic performance, quality of sleep, ease of awakening, ability to focus on activities, mental acuity, calmness, and feelings of health, contentment, and happiness. Subjects also experienced significantly reduced fatigue and stress, and improved regularity of gastrointestinal function.4
Eye Health! In one study, goji berries were found to increase antioxidant levels in the blood and protect elderly subjects from macular degeneration.5
Libido! Gojis are known to increase libido. An ancient Chinese proverb says it all, warning men who travel far from their wives: ""He who travels one thousand kilometers from home should not eat goji!"
Super Nutritious! Gojis are packed with protein including all essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, selenium, zinc and iron, to name a few!

For someone who likes to complain about Nick Diaz throwing hissy fits you sure are quick to the fucking trigger about starting them yourself.
Seriously get tired of some of you condescending and smart ass mother fuckers.
Even when I disagree with someone I always come off as pretty polite imo and actual try to give reasonings behind what I say.
Then there is always some stupid fucking asshole who has to say something completely inappropriate and put a spin on the entire thread to where everybody just starts bitching at each other. Way to be that stupid fucking asshole Hoss, way to be the asshole that turned what was actually an ok thread into people pointlessly bitching at each other. Your work here is certainly done, but hurry, I think there is another thread where you can find someone to insult and bitch at about something.

Applications for 13 fracking wells in Kalkaska Co.By Associated Press
Related links
KALKASKA — An energy company is seeking to drill 13 hydraulic fracturing wells in the northwestern Lower Peninsula. Encana Oil & Gas has applied for fracking permits for the wells in Kalkaska County, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported Sunday. The wells would need 300 million gallons of groundwater. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves pumping water, sand and chemicals into gas or oil deposits deep underground to extract energy. Encana spokeswoman Bridget Ford said the company follows state regulations on use of groundwater for exploration. County resident Paul Brady said the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality doesn't adequately regulate fracking wells and the large volumes of water they use. "It's extremely irresponsible to allow the withdrawal of our groundwater at such a magnitude without any type of cumulative impact study being done," Brady said. Rick Henderson is a field operations supervisor for the state agency and says it pays close attention to drillers' groundwater use. "We are concerned with ... any water use like that," said Rick Henderson, a field operations supervisor for the DEQ's Office of Oil, Gas and Minerals. "Under no circumstances are we going to allow an adverse resource impact." Frac Focus, a nonprofit group created by industry and environmentalists to provide factual information on hydraulic fracturing activity, has a website that allows energy companies to publicly document details about their wells, including water usage. It shows that three Encana wells now operating in Kalkaska County wells have used 42 million gallons of groundwater over two years. Topics in this article: Environment

"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"I absolutely love these cards. They are pretty with just the right touch of femininity. The quality of the paper is amazing for the price! Can't wait to send my first one out!"
"This card is beautiful! I ordered it in the purple hues and absolutely love it. One caution -- the card is not white (it's cream) and for some reason ships with white envelopes. I noticed that on the pictures and called customer service about it. They said they would change my order to ship cream colored envelopes without any hesitation. Furthermore, the call took a few minutes more than I had expected and I was running late to a meeting, so the woman I spoke with said she could finish it up and email me a confirmation without me even on the phone! I will certainly order from TinyPrints again -- beautiful products and fantastic service!"
"I wanted these to coordinate with contact cards I had already ordered, and asked the design staff to alter the colors of the text, to de-emphasize my necessary, but seldom used first name. Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call (!) from the designer to discuss my needs! The note/thank you cards came in exactly as I had hoped, and I'm now about to order more as hostess gifts. The quality of the paper, and the print work is beyond reproach. As for those - and I've seen a few - who complained about the size of the product: it's noted in the description! If in doubt, cut a piece of paper to those dimensions in order to see what you're ordering :) Thank you Tiny Prints for superior quality and service. You have a customer for life!"
"These cards are wonderful! I love the design and TinyPrints even changed the colour to match the business cards I ordered at the same time. The high quality of the paper is exactly what I have come to expect of TinyPrints (and WeddingPaperDivas). The cards are a lovely weight and easy to write on. I can't wait to send one of these cards!"

text: There is some good news for patients suffering from type 1 diabetes. Researchers at the UCLA have come up with a new vaccine that can help in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The vaccine has been tested in humans and has been found useful. The drug named Diamyd is being checked for viability. Diamyd is based on researches on Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase. It is really unlikely that a drug for type 1 diabetes to be available for at least a few years. GAD was found successful in mice in Phase I. Phase II involved the testing of the drug on adults who have been recently diagnosed with diabetes. The results showed that the vaccine was effective in preserving the insulin production for at least 2 years. Type 1 diabetes generally begins in adolescence or may be even childhood. This kind of diabetes is characterized by the failure of the body to produce insulin, as the body's immune system destroys the insulin producing cells of the pancreas.

Problem with BitTorrent (After Setting up a new Router)
I recently set up a new router because the other one was getting pretty old . Everything works fine, except for when I'm downloading torrents. The speed of the torrent would start out fine, but after ~5-10 minutes, the speed slowly and slowly goes down (example, goes from a constant rate of ~350 KiB/s to around a constant rate of 50 KiB/s). Also it seems to use more of my bandwidth.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I do not have this problem when using DDL and IRC. Tested with uTorrent (wine) and Deluge Thanks for any help~ |

Yeah check all your ports. In addition, it may not be your routers fault at some times as well. Maybe the lack of seeders or trackers upon the torrent you are downloading is very low. Hence, the health of the torrent is low. Other than that, if you have a shared connection with someone constantly using the computer, that will slow it down as well. Another case is usually the amount of people online downloading the same torrent you are. So, I would primarily base that off of internet trafficking.

One alternative is to use the torrent client's uPnP facility to communicate with the router. That sometimes works better for port-forwarding. The best solution is to use the computer's configuration tools to assign the network adapter a "static" IP address. Give the computer a fixed address in the default address block (usually 192.168.1.1-254) and set the port forwarding rules to use that address.

(a) make sure you have the latest firmware.
(b) check the website dslreports.com for similar issues others have with the same router. |
