In my opinion Thread is the most wonderful feature of Java programming language and I remember when I started learning Java in one of programming class in India how important Thread was portrait and how much emphasis given on clear understanding of multi threading. It's indeed still popular and one of most sought after skill in Java because writing concurrent and multi-threaded application in Java is challenging, despite Java providing excellent support at language level using synchronized and volatile keyword. Main problem with using multiple threads and writing multi-threaded code is issues related to concurrency e.g. deadlock, livelock, race conditions etc, It takes lot of effort to implement multi-threading correctly in Java application. In this core java tutorial I will share my experience on different way of implementing Thread in Java; Difference between Thread and Runnable in Java is also a very common core java interview question and asked mostly during junior level java interview.
There are two ways of implementing threading in Java
1) By extending java.lang.Thread class, or
2) By implementing java.lang.Runnable interface.
Before we go into implementation details I just like to cover when we use Thread in Java ? so we use thread if we want some part of code is executed parallel and we put that code inside run() method of either Thread class or Runnable interface.
Actually public void run () method is defined in Runnable interface and since java.lang.Thread class implements Runnable interface it gets this method automatically. I remember by first Java multi threading example which was an animation program where multiple threads were used in Applet to create animation of words falling from top left, middle and top right of the page. That was pretty exciting at that time because till then I only know program which takes input from command prompt and print output on command prompt.
Java Thread Tutorial and ExampleSo now the interview question "Which way of implementing Thread is better? Extending Thread class or implementing Runnable method?
In my opinion implementing Runnable is better because in Java we can only extend one class so if we extend Thread class we can not extend any other class while by implementing Runnable interface we still have that option open with us.
Second reason which make sense to me is more on OOPS concept according to OOPS if we extend a class we provide some new feature or functionality , So if the purpose is just to use the run() method to define code its better to use Runnable interface.
till then we have just created a thread , Thread will not start until you call the start() method of java.lang.Thread class. When we call start () method Java Virtual machine execute run () method of that Thread class into separate Thread other than calling thread. Anybody guess what will happen if we call the run() method directly instead of calling start() method ?
That another popular multi-threading interview question and answer is simple there would be no Error or Exception run() method will simply be executed in the same Thread and new Thread will not be created. Another follow up question would be what will happen if you call start() method twice in same Thread object e.g.
mythread.start(); //this line will throw IllegalThreadStateException
//implementing Thread by extending Thread class
public class MyThread extends Thread{
public void run(){
System.out.println(" Thread Running " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
//implementing Thread by implementing Runnable interface
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable{
public void run(){
System.out.println(" Create Thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
//starting Thread in Java
Thread mythread = new MyThread(); //Thread created not started
Thread myrunnable = new Thread(new MyRunnable(),"T2"); //Thread created
mythread.start(); //Thread started now but not running
TIP1: It's not guaranteed that mythread will start before myrunnable it depends upon Thread scheduler.
TIP2: Thread will be said to go on dead state once execution of run() method finished and you can not start that thread again.

|What causes anorexia?
This last point is the missing link that makes sense of this most puzzling of disorders.
This post was shared with the Healthy Home Economist, Kelly the Kitchen Kop, Gnowfglins , The Nourishing Gourmet.and Real Food Forager.
|What causes anorexia?
wow that makes so much sense, I hope this will start to help all the people suffering from this disorder. Its hard to believe how conventional medicine can get things so wrong sometimes in its search for drugs to solve every problem, when nutrition seems to me to be the answer to nearly everything!
I went through this same thing! It started as an emotional issue (not being vegetarian), but I got to the point that I stayed so sick that I just couldn't eat. I lost so much weight. Luckily, I had a good doctor who put me on probiotics, then I read "The Maker's Diet". I've come so far, and now I'm healthier than most of the people I know!
Love this post. I follow GAPS and loved Dr. CMB's chapter on eating disorders. It's like she was writing my story. I have come a long way, but still have a ways to go. Not so much with the distorted self image but with the ability to eat now. My gut is so messed up still. I have a hard time with meat and fat. Very frustrating when that's what I should eat and want to eat. Good for you for posting this to make more people aware of the real issue and what to do about it.
Mmm...as someone who struggles through an eating disorder for years, this is not how it happened with me at all. I was never vegetarian, I ate butter. I had a really tough childhood and had a lot of issues becoming independent for the first time, and my eating disorder developed out of that. Then I started eating very little fat, but it was a result, not a trigger. When you look at eating disorder patients, the common theme is family issues and low self-esteem. Real food was a key part of my recovery, but working with a therapist was a bigger part.
*struggled (I've recovered now)
I'd also like to add in a mention for "The Mood Cure" by Julia Ross. I first read about her on cheeseslave's blog, and it is an incredibly interesting book which deals with all kinds of mood issues, including eating disorders like anorexia and bulemia. She mainly pinpoints amino acid deficiencies as the culprits, which actually fits right in with the information above presented for GAPS, as serotonin is the main amino responsible for "feeling good" in general, and deficiencies in serotonin have been linked to OCD, eating disorders, etc. And, of course, we get serotonin production from tryptophan (i.e. meat/protein).
I personally have not had an eating disorder but I HAVE been dealing with OCD, and they are VERY similar in nature (in fact, I really believe eating disorders are just another form of OCD, as the thought processes are almost identical). There are lots of reasons we can be low in serotin (caffeine and stress both deplete serotonin levels for example, babies fed formula and not breastfed will start life lower in serotonin, etc.), so it is vitally important to eat lots of protein. However, if we are really deficient, food alone may not be enough and we need to supplement. I would highly recommend reading the book, as she goes into all of this in detail (also try www.moodcure.com).
Also, I'd really like to emphasize that I have been researching this topic like crazy lately, trying to get a grip on my OCD. My issue mostly revolves around needing things to be really clean, and while I know that therapy can be very useful (I have been thru some myself), I have lately become convinced that it really doesn't get to the root of the problem. Although I can look back and say that I definitely had tendencies towards perfectionism as a child, I didn't really develop the OCD until recently (the last 5-6 years), and I can't tell you how many times I've found myself thinking that it just feels like my brain isn't functioning properly.
After doing some online research on nutritional approaches to this, I did find one site that seemed to hit the nail on the head-she said that it absolutely is a physical issue, that most people have a signal in their brain that goes off once they've completed a task, to be able to just let it go, but with OCD, that pathway is broken, which is why you find yourself going over and over and over stuff in your head (like checking that doorknobs are locked or that the oven is off), because you can't quite convince yourself that you did it.
I realize all of this seems off topic, but when I started therapy for my OCD, my therapist actually told me that she wished I could talk to some of her anorexic patients, as there were very similar issues going on. Not long after, I was talking to one of my childhood friends about what I was dealing with, and she responded almost immediately that she knew exactly what I was feeling, because of her past issues dealing with eating disorders (she was mildly anorexic all thru high school/college). Again, thought processes are very similar.
I'm still very much trying to get it all figured out, but reading the Mood Cure I feel has helped start me on the right track towards really evaluating physical issues that may be causing/contributing to it. What is really scary is how many of my friends that I've talked to since are actually dealing with similar issues, to one degree or another. My theory so far is that I really believe that as each generation has progressed, moving towards more processed foods all the time, moving away from real, healthy fats (we grew up eating margarine and Wesson oil), that all of the mental disorders we are seeing are a direct result, it's finally catching up to us. What form it takes varies from person to person, for me it became the cleaning, while for my friend it was the anorexia, but I do believe ultimately they all have the same cause.
Sorry this was so long and rambling :-).
Thanks for sharing your story, Amy. Not everyone's story is alike.
Anonymous, your comment was very interesting. I've heard of The Mood Cure, but I haven't read it yet. I'd definitely like to.
I second Amy's comment. I, too, have struggled with anorexia, but I firmly believe that the disease (along with other psychological illnesses - hence the "psychological" part) have their roots in emotional factors. Yes, people with eating disorders usually exhibit unhealthy eating habits which do not serve their overall well-being, but this is most often a result - not a direct cause - of the illness. A healthier diet which included more fat and protein definitely helped nurse my body back to health, but I never would have even attempted to eat better had I not done the psychological work in the first place.
I think poor nutrition might exacerbate the underlying issues, but let's not forget that it's the underlying emotional/psychological issues that trigger all of this in the first place. Most of the people I knew who struggled with eating disorders, especially anorexia, had suffered some kind of childhood abuse - emotional, physical, sexual, or a combination of it all.
One friend of mine who had been sexually abused told me she felt it was her fault she had been abused because she was a girl, and that if she stopped trying to look like a woman, then it wouldn't happen to her again. Her womanly body shape - curves, breasts - was only a reminder to her of what happened so she fought to stay as stick thin (thereby resembling a boy) as possible. Another friend who had been abused said that she had no control over what others did to her, but the one thing she did have control over was what she ate so her denying her hunger was her way of mastering control over the only thing in her life she felt she could control. To give in to the hunger meant she was weak, and worthless.
Saying it's a simple lack of nutrition is dangerous, and dismisses the often traumatic psychological damage that triggered it in the first place. It's also dangerous to imply that it's as simple as girls being bombarded with skinny images. It is so, so, so much more than that.
Thanks for your comment Vanessa. I'm definitely not trying to say that the psychological aspect doesn't exist. But I think that is well established. I'm just saying that it might not be the whole story - and the nutritional aspect is overlooked.
If nutrition plays a key role, then that has to be taken into consideration as part of the cure.
I didn't go into it here, but the doctor has a step by step treatment method that takes into consideration the fact that the patient won't want to eat better.
This is so interesting. I've been reading about brain function and how important fats are to brain health. Amazing what happens when we don't eat as we should.
What in interesting article! (and one that makes a whole lot of sense!) Thanks so much for sharing this, Ruth. I have the GAPS book on my wish list and I'm looking forward to learning even more about it.
It was interesting to read the posts. I too dealt with anorexia and bulimia for years. I came from a very loving family and never wanted much although we didn't have much. I still think about, but have no answer, as to why I did what I did. I remember reading an article about how bad it was to be bulimic and oh by the way...here's how you do it. I pray my children never read those stupid teen rags. I do know my gut issues come from years of abuse. But I eat better now and know so much more. Hopefully my children benefit from all the knowledge I've gained.
This article can, at its best, be called quackery. There is no sound scientific evidence to support these ludicrus claims which are not only damaging but potentially dangerous when put in the hands of individuals who do not critically analyze what they read or hear.
I am currently getting my Masters degree in Human Biology in its application to Health and Disease at the University of Toronto. I graduated with a double major in human biology and nutritional sciences in the life science department 2 years ago and have been a vegan since I was 16 years old.
I find this article not only offensive, but grossly mislead. the author mistakenly assumes that vegan-ism in some way causes anorexia. The logic is as follows: vegan = undernourished = anorexic. This is fallacious on many grounds, most perversely in the assumption that vegan-ism leads to anorexia. The logical equivalent of this statement is that all vegan are anorexic. This is far from the reality of events, myself as a great example: I have been vegan for almost 9 years (and will be for the rest of my long life) and not only show no signs of deficiencies but no signs of anorexia or other eating disorders; on the contrary, I confidently state that I am in the best health of my life. Interesting, as this was part of her thesis, yet I and the vast majority of vegans are not anorexic! We are normal people with normal eating habits (granted, more morally and socially responsible) and more importantly, normal body images with above average health.
Campbell assumes young people become anorexics because of a vegan diet, ignoring the omnivorous anorexics that make up more people that those vegan anorexics. The switch to a vegan lifestyle, though it has been documented to be beneficial to the health in many respects, including lowered cancer and cardiovascular risks and significantly lower obesity rates, as well as a longer average lifespan (7 years!). Many anorexics use the word vegetarian or vegan as an excuse not to eat in social settings or to severely restrict what passed by their lips - not from feeling of moral obligation, but as a result of their disorder. She treats it as a cause and not the potential symptom that it is.
The way to treat anorexia and other eating disorders is to simply treat the disorder. Anorexia is a product of biological and environmental factors, often obsessive personalities and those with low self esteem are afflicted and these disorders are triggered by stressful events. The proper course of treatment is behavioral and cognitive therapy coupled with counseling to prevent remission.
I find this offensive and grossly mislead and urge everyone reading this comment and article to critically evaluate what you may believe - research it and make educated decisions based on sound science and reasoning.
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for writing.
" vegan-ism leads to anorexia. The logical equivalent of this statement is that all vegan are anorexic"
By the same token, does that mean that smoking doesn't cause cancer because not every smoker gets cancer?
Just because every vegan isn't anorexic and every anorexic isn't a vegan or former vegan, doesn't mean that veganism doesn't contribute to anorexia.
I have no way to know for sure if the theory I presented here is valid, but I found it very compelling. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I suffered from anorexia. Prior to onset, I was a healthy teen who had no body image issues. What started me down the path of anorexia was my mom going on Weight Watchers and serving us up "healthy food". I started to lose weight, get compliments and before I knew it, I kept losing weight. I was definitely NOT a vegetarian. I would eat an entire chicken for dinner, BUT would not have any fats nor carbs. My onset was 17, same age as my 26 year old daughter started with anorexia. Hers began with stress in senior year trying to get into college of her choice. I think that anorexia is primarily genetic, with personality traits such as perfectionism and social anxiety etc being common. I was definitely not a vegetarian nor was my daughter.
Thanks for sharing your story, anonymous. Dr. McBride doesn't claim that all anorexics start out as vegetarians, it's just a common scenario. I think her more important point is that a person's diet can lead to deficiencies which change a person's thinking, which then perpetuate themselves as anorexia.
The idea of it having a genetic component isn't necessarily a contradition. We know that certain people can eat a bad diet and handle it better than most. Maybe in anorexia, a person has a genetic disposition to fall into the vicious circle of anorexia when diet is just a little bad.

"Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it." -- Chuck Noll
I am worried his accomplishments ARE on the decline and the super bowls will soon become a distant memory.
I don't know why people get so upset when it is pointed out that Ben has deficiencies. Every QB has them. That includes Montana, Brady, Peyton, Brees, Bart Star, Bradshaw, etc. They all have their own style and way of getting things done. What sets them apart is their teams generally win when these guys are the QB.
Football is a team game and just because you lose doesn't make it the fault of the QB. You look at last year's SB and if Welker hangs on to a very catchable pass the Patriots win. If our defense doesn't play great against a juggernaut Indy offense back in 2005 we don't win the SB that year. That's not to say Ben played bad. He didn't ... he played great but he needed help. It takes talent, team work and some luck to win the SB. All of the QBs I mentioned have talent in abundance. They don't always have the team or the luck to win it all.

My Totally Inaccurate Future of Roleplaying
And let's not forget my earlier predictions for 2009 (although, to be fair, has anyone actually seen Professor Edwards lately?).
But since this month's Blog Carnival topic is "the Future of Roleplaying", I'm going to give it a shot and dutifully answer the questions below.
-What games do you see emerging as the big players in the near future?
As usual, I think it'll be D&D and everyone else. I do think Paizo is poised to capture a nice market share with Pathfinder, but I have no idea how much that'll be.
I think from the Old-Schoolers, we'll see at least one product make the jump and get some (relatively) serious outside attention. We've already seen this to a point with Fight On! winning the lulu contest.
-What companies should we be watching out for to release the next big product?
Pathfinder's release is going to rule Gen Con Indy this year, hands down. I'd like to think Open d6 will make some minor waves, but I've given up trying to predict how that'll end up.
-How will technology become more integrated into roleplaying games?
Well, I think sites like Epic Words and Obsidian Portal will continue to grow. I also think we'll see a slow slump/decline in RPG forum quality participation as people look at outside social networking options (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.).
If Wizards of the Coast continues to indefinitely delay their Virtual Tabletop, we might see one of the other competitors break free from the pack, but I doubt it.
-What industry writer do we need to be on the look out for?
I don't think there's any one writer to look out for in particular. I think what to watch for is a lot more labor-of-love, collaborative, DIY products made by a group of gamers & authors working together.
-What blogs do you see exploding into becoming the next big thing?
Dude, they're tabletop gaming blogs. They aren't Big Things. :)
As for who is poised to see a Grognardia or Chatty DM level of hits, I don't know. There are too many great bloggers for me to nail this down. It'll be whoever doesn't burn out and keeps getting out solid content. I've been there--and it's hard to keep up.
-What do you see for the future of the industry?
We'll see another D&D edition in a few years, though I'm still not 100% convinced we don't see D&D in print form go away or be very quiet for a few years in the future before a reboot. Small press pdf and print-on-demand means there will always be gaming stuff out there for folks who want it.
To paraphrase Gleichman and some prevaricating faux-Frenchman, my game will remain the same.

The future is looking good for Rogue Games. Seriously. When we went into business we knew it was going to be rough, that is why we set up things the way we do.
I really think the future is going to be more direct to the gamer, and a move away from games as art objects, to games as games.

@Richard: Interesting! So less Nobilis, and more Traveller? :)
@Rob: Hey, we have the Free RPG Blog--how could it not be a banner year? :)

I think Pathfinder will make big waves in a small pond and no more, sort of like The Riddle of Steel.
Nothing here quite worth a Knifefight over sadly. But I'll keep watching for a good reason in the future.
- May 6, 2009 at 10:57 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@Gleichman: I think "within the confines of the existing hobby" is a pretty good conditional for a lot of RPGs people think will make waves. I think Pathfinder has a little bit more muscle to it, but how much, I'm not sure.
I never thought of TRoS as making big waves, but it could have been that it's biggest influence had passed by the time I noticed it.
- May 6, 2009 at 11:14 AM
- Gleichman said...
TRoS made big waves at the Forge and RPGnet- which is the small pond I was speaking of.
In a similar way, I expect Path Finder to do will with the Old School guys- and not much more beyond.
But the future likes to defy predictions...

- trollsmyth said...
I think we might possibly see some attempt at crossover between the growing free-form crowd and the traditional RPG crowd, but I'm not holding my breath on it. If it happens, though, it'll be big.
Otherwise, I think either the D&D 5 books will be given away for free (or really, really cheap) as loss-leaders for an online platform, or else the IP will be sold to someone like Paizo or Necromancer.

Oscars & Grammys
What's up Fam, this is the voice of Cube...
I got some good news today. Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders agreed to do an interview for my "Straight Outta L.A." documentary. The one I'm doing for ESPN 30 for 30 series. We've been asking Al for about 6 months and he finally said, "yeah." I'm suppose to fly to Oakland after the Super Bowl and sit down with him. Everybody hates on Al Davis cause he's a hands on owner. But I like that. "My way or the fuckin' highway" you gotta respect it.
I just signed on to do the Paid Dues Festival in San Bernardino on April 3rd. It's a Saturday. It cool cause this is the first time I'm on the same bill with my cousin Del the Funky Homosapien. I remember producing his first record with D.J. Pooh called "I Wish My Brother George Was Here." I got a lot of respect for Del too. He always hated commercialized hip hop. From day one.
Did ya'll watch the Grammys? Me neither. I remember people use to be excited about the Grammys. Now you know who's gonna win before their nominated. Beyonce'? 6 Grammys? Off this record? Seriously...
The Oscars never fail to celebrate Black people's sadness, misery and ugliness. Just look at the kind of roles that get nominated... Crooked cops, Green Mile type niggas and playing Ike Turner. Thanks Hollywood for always recognizing our downfalls. Not watching that shit either.
I did check out Capitalism: A Love Story by Micheal Moore. Good information. It shows who's really pulling the strings. Check out: Sicko by Micheal Moore. Dope.
I've been trying to get MC Ren back on the mic since Up N Smoke Tour. He just dropped a record so I hope he'll spit on my shit. Stay tune for details.
The Nas, Scarface project was being spearheaded by my homie Tony Draper. These project are hard to put together because of the different record companies. We all got too busy with our own projects and personal lives to make a dope record right now.
When I do tour. I will make it to Tilburg & Vienna
Going to the studio tomorrow. Trying to get Mike Epps to come by. If he does I'll film it and post it.
Keep it gangsta,
Ice Cube

Just sayin' .......
Just sayin' .......
Narcissistic injury is the term used for any threat to a narcissist's outsized ego or self-esteem.
We need a playmaker CB badly. Allen did well today, but man, Taylor was horrible in the 2nd qtr...
Smart player knew the plays but has hands of stone! I am sure the rain did not help either defense. Ben should have been picked like 2 maybe 4 times? And yes there will be ANOTHER CB drafted this year. Still a major need.
he needs cut or serious paycut
The first drop was awful. It seemed to break the dam and Lions just poured it on. I bet I make that catch 95 out of 100.
Granted, I'd never be anywhere near it to begin with.
He is the next James Harrison. Will he take a pay cut or leave? Again he can get something on the open market. But will he over value himself like Harrison did?
Worst ever,
"I hate him. Everybody says I'm supposed to be polite when I talk to you all, but I hate him..." "He talks too much, he doesn't make sense, he's fat, he's sloppy, he acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. He's ugly, he stinks, his mouth stinks, his breath stinks, and basically his soul stinks, too.
"Not too many people have personalities like that and survive in life. I don't know how he does it."
-Kris Jenkins on Warren Sapp
Ike dropping balls like that isn't just a case of "If he had hands, he'd be a WR." Dropping balls like that 1st one are tantamount to getting burned on a bomb (which happened today too). He has at least 4-5 of those drops a year! Add that into his portfolio, with that context, and he's not the "shutdown CB" that he claims to be. Ike may be a solid player (proven over 10 years+ in the league). But please, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER mention this guy in the same breath as Revis/Bailey.
That's crazy talk. Dropping an int is still a pass defensed.

Restoring California's Wild Watersheds
page 2
Emboldened by that success, the small coalition of county officials and businessmen expanded to include ranchers, environmentalists, and state and federal officials. Although many of them had been at odds over land management issues, they realized they could only heal the watershed if they cooperated. Wilcox had been a firsthand witness to stream dredging and other practices harmful to ranchlands and forests. A man more at home in a pickup truck than an office, he was eager to be a part of reversing the damage. "I believe in watershed restoration. It has always been in my bones," he says. And that became the Feather River coalition's goal: restoring entire meadows along with the creeks flowing through them.
Among the methods they have pioneered is a low-tech procedure known as "pond and plug." Crews with heavy equipment dig several of the channels wider and deeper, creating small ponds. They use the excavated dirt to fill the remaining gullies back to the original ground level. Along Red Clover Creek, the groundwater began rising almost immediately after the crews finished plugging the channels. By the following spring the ponds were flush with the water that would otherwise have raced downstream in late winter. Above and below the pond where Wilcox sits, the creek has found its way across the meadow in a natural, meandering channel.
The Feather River group has completed 66 restoration projects, which include 3,900 acres of meadow and
44 miles of stream. Since the work began, the data from a series of permanent monitoring stations show that the flow out of restored meadows is greater and lasts longer into the summer. Water temperatures have dropped despite an increase in average air temperatures, and stream turbidity, a measure of the amount of dirt and debris suspended in the water, has decreased to almost half pre-project levels. Groundwater, which never reached the surface before the restoration work, is now consistently at or above ground level for at least part of the year.
From Water to Wildlife
The Feather River projects have inspired the much larger Sierra-wide meadow restoration coordinated by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Private landowners, universities, local and national resource organizations, and the U.S. Forest Service are working together to design strategies that will raise the water table and slow the flow out of mountain meadows. In an area from the Pit River in the north to the Kern River in the south, they are evaluating potential projects to determine which will yield the maximum benefits to fish and wildlife and the greatest quantities of water. Their goal is to restore at least 20,000 acres a year by 2014, says Male.
"Nationwide, we're looking for tangible actions that address the realities of climate change. This is one of the best examples in America of a restoration initiative that can directly help people and wildlife adapt to our changing planet," Male says.
Leave it to Beavers?
Nature's water engineers can restore river channels.
The plan, over the first five years, calls for restoring 60,000 acres of meadow. As the water table rises and meadows soak up more water from melting snows, native habitat lost for decades should return. Among the endangered species expected to benefit are the yellow warbler, Yosemite toad, Lahontan cutthroat and golden trout, Townsend's big-eared bat, and the Sierra Nevada red fox.
But the effects of widespread meadow restoration will also flow downstream to farmers and other water users. The Forest Service manages about half of the Sierra's degraded meadowlands. The agency is determining which of the 11,700 separate meadows in 10 national forests need to be restored. All are located on streams important for water supply, says Barry Hill, a regional hydrologist. Using foundation funds, the Forest Service hopes to determine the amount of additional water available for downstream use once the meadows return to health.
The Sierra projects are unique among large-scale water restoration efforts in the United States because of their potential to increase the amount of water available in a river system, says Male. Comprehensive efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay, the nation's largest estuary, focus on improving the quality of water flows throughout the 64,000-square-mile region. In the Everglades, a wide-ranging plan to revive a dying ecosystem aims to improve the distribution of flows throughout 18,000 square miles in southern Florida. Along the lower Mississippi River and coastal Louisiana, the largest wetlands restoration effort is designed to reverse the pattern of land erosion by buffering against floods and hurricanes and, like all of the major projects, improving wildlife habitat.
Just how much more water healthy Sierra Nevada meadows can deliver is a matter of debate. Some scientists believe the boosts in stream flow may be absorbed by increases in vegetation in the new, restoration-created habitats. Others believe restoration could contribute up to 6.5 billion gallons of additional water storage throughout the California range. Over time, says Male, these restored meadows could hold 16 to 160 billion gallons of fresh water. That's equal to the size of one of the new dams state officials have proposed for construction to offset the state's declining snowpack.
Restoring mountain meadows will not solve California's water crisis. That will take a collective commitment from the agriculture industry, from municipalities, and from everyone who depends on the Sierra snowmelt for their livelihoods and their lives. It will also require more political will than elected officials have traditionally marshaled. Wilcox believes the public recognizes the value of healthy watersheds. He is optimistic that stream restoration will become routine as more people understand its importance upstream and downstream.
Meanwhile, the benefits to wildlife are unequivocal. In the wet meadow surrounding Red Clover Creek, the number of waterfowl species has doubled since Wilcox and his crews completed the pond-and-plug project. He has seen buffleheads, gadwalls, and two species of teal breeding in early spring. Sandhill cranes, willow flycatchers and 10 other species on state and federal watch lists have returned to the area. Walking through Red Clover Valley from the pond, Wilcox bends down to study a clump of dancing hairgrass, one of a handful of plant types that have regenerated from seeds dormant in the soil for decades. He has yet to see elk but he has found their tracks—the first in the area in decades.

This palette of 20 shiny sheer glosses is slim and offers a wide range of shades in one compact. However, the convenience factor is lessened because you'll need to carry a lip brush to apply these, or use your finger, which is messy. For less money, pick a few shades from L'Oreal, Neutrogena, or Revlon, all of which come with a sponge applicator.
Swedish-born makeup artist Petra Strand is the creator of the Pixi line of makeup products. She started it in London, opening her first shop alongside the salon of her aesthetician sister, Sofia. The Pixi line is positioned as being packed with skin-beneficial ingredients that will help women get the "Makeup to Wakeup" essentials that they need to stock their cosmetics bags. That sounds cute and potentially helpful, but in fact the main ingredients in Pixi's makeup don't distinguish it as being more skin care–oriented than any other makeup product on the shelf.
Even if Pixi's products did have a two-in-one benefit it comes at a high cost. Although the line is sold at Target, it's priced as high as, and in some instances higher than, any line sold at a department store. However, these products are not makeup with a pronounced skin-care benefit, so they are not worth the extra money.
Of the new makeup artist lines now available at Target (JK Jemma Kid and NP Set along with Pixi), this one is actually the least impressive, and we predict it will be the first to be pulled from shelves. We recommend you shop this line with extra caution to avoid a pricey purchase that you're likely to regret or that you have to jump through hoops to return.
The good news is that, like fellow Target newcomers JK Jemma Kid and NP Set, the display for Pixi includes testers for every product. What a wonderful surprise! And if you happen to choose an item you're not happy with (hint: perhaps because there are better options for less from other lines) Target has a good return policy on cosmetics (just be sure to save your receipt—my strong opinion is that you'll need it).
For more information about Pixi visit www.pixibeauty.com or www.target.com.
Note: We were unable to locate a customer service phone number for Pixi and our e-mails to the company have gone unanswered. This is not a line to shop if you're expecting customer support beyond what Target offers.

Ubuntu 12.04 a disaster?
Mint has been quite flooded with complaints of total system freezes too. Last time I checked, one particular thread on the 'freezing issue' was at about 40k views. Seems to be "solvable" by updating the kernel through PPA, but until this was known, it was a horrendous bug for many. As for boons, Mint is based on Ubu and I doubt it can avoid feeling some Worthy turbulence whilst riding the Canonical Shuttle.

This submission is the worst linux submission I've ever seen on Slashdot. Period. Sensationalist spam at its worst.

I didn't read the article, but I've had serious issues with kubuntu 12.04. I figured it was because of aged hardware with only 750 megs of memory. Flash doesn't work at all, and it worked perfectly in 11.x. Armok freezes the system if I leave it running for more than a couple of days, and it worked flawlessly before as well. I never had any issues with 10.04 aside from stuttering video (which I attribute to the machine's minimal memory) and I installed it as soon as it was out (had been running 10.01).

GSD&M's First Work For Goodyear: Pass or Fail?
Here's a look at the first work from the folks at GSD&M for Goodyear tires since the Austin-based agency won the account in April of last year. Dubbed "More Driven," this campaign highlights some of the brand's achievements from being the official tire of NASCAR to the first tires on the moon and the tires that broke the land-speed record while also being the tire of choice for U.S. military vehicles, Southwest Airlines, FedEx, Hollywood stunt drivers, the presidential limo and so on.
With all that said, the whole idea behind this campaign is that Goodyear wants to convey that it's taking everything it's learned over the years and applying it to the tires they roll out for you, the consumer. This campaign was completed during the brief Mike Wilson era at GSD&M, which developed a font based on the Goodyear logo that "that allows bold statements to be made over aggressive imagery." We guess by "aggressive imagery," they mean the pseudo-heavy metal combined with fast cars that showcase the might of Goodyear tires. Can you just feel the testosterone flowing?
Credits and two more spots from the campaign after the jump.

Outstanding premium touring paddle, extremely well designed and built. Always a pleasure to use. I've been paddling with a Cyprus since 2011. Several two-week expeditions and many shorter trips. Lots of day paddling. I'm a sea kayaking instructor. I initially purchased the Cyprus as a backup to my Werner Ikelos (also an excellent paddle) because I wanted something with a slightly smaller blade area for long days on the water with a heavy boat. It quickly became my primary expedition paddle thanks… Full review
Bending Branches Infusion
Great paddle very light. Bright color (I like to be seen on the water), if you know what I mean. Nice tapered grip. I have had this paddle and several other brands over the years and now it seems I always grab the Infusion over the others. It has a lot of miles on it and other than a few scratches on the blade it looks and acts as if it was brand new. Love how light this composite paddle is. The handles are slightly oval rather than round, which helps with maintaining grip position. Full review
Carlisle Expedition
Fantastic! I love this paddle! Worth every penny! Its light weight fits nicely in your hand, so there is no blistering or rubbing. It doesn't get slippery when it's wet! I don't have a bad word to say about it! LOVE IT. Full review
Werner Shuna
A strong, lightweight, adjustable paddle that is a joy to use. The Werner Shuna:Hooked (250cm) weighs in at 1 lb 14.5 oz (865 KG). Please check Werner's site for listed dimensions. As a new paddler, I was a bit leery of spending so much on a paddle. My mind was set at ease once I received the paddle and saw the quality put into the creation of this paddle. The adjustable ferrule works smoothly and holds firmly in place with no play once you have it set where you want it. The 15 ° increments give… Full review
Accent Vision Polymer
This paddle does the trick—cuts the water and allows you to steer in the desired direction with ease. You don't have to break your back. Ive kayaked for years. I've used several brands of paddles. This brand is by far the best. I recommend to anyone looking to purchase a kayak paddle. No blisters, no sweat, this paddle cuts like a dream. Full review
Aqua-Bound Shred Carbon
A carbon-fiber and ABX hybrid paddle that offers a lot of good for a very reasonable amount of dough! Simply put...if you have the money to spend on a great paddle...there are better paddles out there in the +$300 range...but this is one of the rare paddles which offers most of what better paddles offer for under $150. Where this paddle splurged you notice the difference...and where this paddle saved...you'll never know it! Kayaking more often than not requires holding the paddle in the air for… Full review
Werner Skagit FG IM
Great lightweight rec paddle. Bought this as my first paddle. It's the only one I kept! (now used as backup) For the price you can't beat it! It's lightweight and good for recreational touring/day trips. Full review
Werner Little Dipper Carbon
Lightweight, smaller blade make paddling miles with this paddle a breeze! This is a great low angle touring paddle! It is lightweight and the smaller blades make paddling a breeze. The adjustable ferrule had small increments for easy selection. The only issue I found was the recessed take apart button can get jammed with sand if you are not careful. The blades are well made and with care (as with any carbon fiber paddle) with stand the abuses of daily paddles. I would recommend this paddle to any… Full review

First up is the T9 Warrior shoulders for 30 Emblems, then the Clutch of Fortification.
I'm currently guildless, so I'm doing the slow and steady grind of daily heroics for my Emblems of Triumph. I'm considering the Clutch of Fortification (35 emblems) or the Libram of Defiance (25 emblems) as my first purchase.
What do you tanks think of the new Libram?
What are you going to buy first with your Emblems of Triumph?
Going to buy the ranged weapon myself...
Blades of the Sable Cross - Item - World of Warcraft
I am so tired of my eng gun i had 5 days after the xpac...
I'm in love with thrown weapons. It's pretty high on my list
Bronzebeard - US
I'm getting the dodge procc libram
I will go for the tanking helm. It's stats are way better then T9.
gonna get the tier9 shoulders, definitly.
I'm torn to be honest. The ret libram procs from Vengeance and grants 200 strength which if I understand correctly translates into almost 400 block. I know block isn't what it used to be for paladins and that dodge proc on Defiance is hot too.
To be honest though I will be saving my emblems for the armor pieces before I start decking out with trinkets.
Really don't know what to do, Guild priorities on the Trophy of the Crusade(s) that drop from 25man go by Activeness, I'm 3rd on the active list. So I'll be getting one next reset.
Might be only fair that I save badges for a piece of Tier 9.5. Hands & Shoulders are only 45, have decent stats. Could be the best option.
Libram is so tempting though.
Wow, I completely neglected the Tier gear because I presumed that it would be outrageously expensive. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
With the dodge proc, is the new libram BiS?
Tanking Helmet, without a doubt.
Going for the shoulders first. Blue socket, rather cheap and quite an upgrade over T8. I'd love to get an updated BiS gear list for this tier though, since after that piece I'm not quite sure. Maybe gloves, since they're also pretty great?
Wrynn's spikey shoulders of sexy fury dps
Going for T9 shoulders since Yogg-saron has not dropped a single protector's tokens and I'm still running with 10man shoulders. Just gotta bid like a man for that trophy next week.
Crommi | Archaic Order | Lightning's Blade EU
Probably the non-t9 tanking helm. It seems perfectly itemized and has huge defense.
You're mixing AP up with BV :P, 200 Str should give 100 BV pre modifiers @ 2 str = 1 BV.I'm torn to be honest. The ret libram procs from Vengeance and grants 200 strength which if I understand correctly translates into almost 400 block. I know block isn't what it used to be for paladins and that dodge proc on Defiance is hot too.
As for me, I got the first Trophy for us, so I'm probably going to get for the 245 Shoulders first.

text: 5 Album of the year?withydanno | 18/11/2007 | See all withydanno's reviews (124)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Not being a fan of labelling every type of music with some retarded genre for fear of it somehow being lost in the ether, 'Math Rock' is a phrase that I loathe to it's core. I don't want to be able to say, 'I'm into Math Rock, or Punk Rock, or Dance Music'. I'm just into music. That's it. I'm not going to pigeon hole myself into that kind of tripe.Do you agree? If not, keep on walking. If so, this cd will be for you.From the tinny, erratic tappings of the very first drumming of the nothing-short-of-special opener Race: In you know you're in for something that you might not call conventional. It is, however, a superior achievement none-the-less.Atlas truly is the song of the year. It sounds like the themetune to a marching band of elves fronting an apocalypse of epic magnitude. Directly after comes Ddiamondd, which is almost as fun to say (especially if you're Welsh) as it is to listen to.As well as this, they manage to out-Bloc-Party Bloc Party all within the one minute-odd that Snare Hanger lasts, and make the pure dementia of Leyendecker pretty damn sexy.A mate of mine pulled me in off the street whilst he worked in a record shop in Aberystwyth to make me listen to Leyendecker. It actually made me feel a little physically sick at very first, but then for some reason I couldn't get the hook out of my head, and then, after time, it was almost like I needed it.Add to this Tij, which sounds like a film score piece - only better, and the utterly stunning closer Race: Out, and you've got one of the most unforgettable, dedicated and blood-lust fuelled albums you will ever hear.After recently seeing this band perform live I can say that this band are an event. Even watching them set up their equipment is strangley hypnotic.What better way to get ready for a night on the town?

Hi all
Since logicial fallacies crop up here from time to time I thought it might be helpful to our community to post this image that I stumbled across on facebook. I think it's very
well done and shows how a seemingly agreeable piece of writing or speech is in fact a fallacious argument. There are a number of benefits to be had by knowing your fallacies, it helps you formulate your own arguments better and you can more easily spot holes in other's arguments.
The image won't show very well on here and it cuts it off halfway across, leaving about 50% of the fallacy explanations, so here's the image in a link:
