Replacement Acer AS07B31 Battery Long Life Guides or ManualsLaptops tend to lose their charm quickly when you're constantly looking for the nearest power outlet to charge up. How do you keep your battery going for as long as possible? Here are 15 easy ways to do so.
1. Defrag regularly - The faster your hard drive does its work - less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. (but not while it's on battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.
2. Dim your screen - Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance. Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra Acer AS07B31 battery juice.
3. Cut down on programs running in the background. Itunes, Desktop Search, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn't crucial when you're on battery.
4. Cut down external devices - USB devices (including your mouse) & WiFi drain down your Acer AS07B31 laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery.
5. Add more RAM - This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory.
6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be power consuming. They spin, taking power, even when they are not actively being used. Wherever possible, try to run on virtual drives using programs like Alcohol 120% rather than optical ones.
7. Keep the Acer AS07B31 laptop batteries contacts clean: Clean your battery's metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.
8. Take care of your battery - Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On Acer AS07B31 battery completely discharge. (Discharing is only for older batteries with memory effects)
9. Hibernate not standby - Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn't save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC's state as it is, and completely shut itself down.
10. Keep operating temperature down - Your laptop operates more efficiently when it's cooler. Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner, or refer to some extra tips by laptopbatterysell.com.
11. Set up and optimize your power options - Go to 'Power Options' in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the 'max battery' for maximum effect).
12. Don't multitask - Do one thing at a time when you're on battery. Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3's, set your mind to one thing only. If you don't you'll only drain out your Acer AS07B31 batteries before anything gets completed!
13. Go easy on the PC demands - The more you demand from your PC. Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you've got a single battery charge - pick your priorities wisely.
14. Get yourself a more efficient laptop - Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all day long batteries. Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix.
15. Prevent the Memory Effect - If you're using a very old laptop, you'll want to prevent the 'memory effect' - Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Thank you read, Happy shopping!

I had knee replacement surgery in January, and the care I received at St. Mary's was exemplary in every way. All staff cared for me like I was member of their family. They couldn't have been more caring or compassionate. St. Mary's Hospital provided the highest level of customer service.
Dr. Boyd performed my surgery. He is a gifted surgeon who takes the time needed to answer patient questions and concerns. The physical and occupational therapy providers were outstanding. Everyone from housekeeping to food services to nursing staff clearly communicated they genuinely cared about me and my needs.
I feel like I received the absolute best medical attention possible at St. Mary's Hospital. What a blessing!

South Arkansas Community College administrators received a complaint today from a group of surgical technician program students who allege their professor failed to send out the applications that would allow them to be certified to work in their field.
The loss is not only the money paid for the exams — which President Barbara Jones noted was pulled the college's account in March — but potential work following the students' August graduation.
Valerie Galbraith and Angie Schanzlin told the News-Times today that the class of 10 had suffered a terrible year under the teacher and were relieved just to graduate. However, the exam date for certification continued to be pushed back until the group found that the applications had never been sent.
Jones, who began her own independent investigation this morning, said the teacher alleged the applications were sent and that she'd continue investigating the matter herself.
She also said the college would create a review for the students to ensure they're properly prepped to take the certification exam. Galbraith and Schanzlin said they'd be unlikely to participate if the same teacher is involved.
More next week in the News-Times.

In an article in the latest issue of First Things, What Does Woman Want?, Mary Eberstadt brilliantly exposes the link between the rising tide of pornography (and the social pressure among secularists to treat it as a harmless, if vaguely embarrassing, pastime) and unhappy, sexless marriages.
Yet the explanation from imposed gender neutrality does not by itself go far enough. Something else lurks under the rocks picked up by the fashionable writing about marriage these days—something that crawls away from the light even as it squirms just under the surface of much of the new confessionalism.
"Don't eat too many snacks, or you'll ruin your dinner." Every woman issuing the new literature of complaint and heartache will understand just how meaningful the saying is—at least when it applies to kids and dinnertime. Yet sexual satiety, of the kind that oozes by other names from so much female confessional literature these days, is almost never recognized the same way. In particular, pornography is the invisible ink of many of these essays and lives—obvious one minute, unnoticed the next, and the bearer of a message no one apparently sees. Understood or not, however, it appears to be leaving a mark on at least some of these publicly lived lives.
In Loh's essay, for example, a husband—as it happens, one of those husbands no longer interested in sex with his wife—bookmarks his pornography on the computer; his wife knows all about it, even reports it to her friends who are also commiserating about their sexless marriages—and no one seems to connect the dots at all. Another writer for Salon, reflecting on Loh's essay, similarly nudges up against this obvious if missing piece of the puzzle (in a piece called "Why Your Marriage Sucks"), noting, "I write this article from a hotel room in New York City, where nearly a dozen porn movies are on offer"—a fact the author uses to highlight what she thinks of as an irony, when it might instead suggest something else: a possible causal relation between all those movies on the one hand and, on the other hand, a loss of romantic interest on the part of those who think them inconsequential.
The article brought to mind Charles Williams' novel, Descent into Hell, which I read many years ago, after learning that Charles Williams was one of the Inklings and that Tom Howard had written his dissertation on his novels. In it the lead character, by preferring a fantasy to reality, gradually cuts himself off from everything, becoming in the process less and less human, less and less real and good and true. More and more this seems to me the prime temptation of modern existence: reality avoidance.
Roger Scruton, in a paper given for the Witherspoon Institute: The Abuse of Sex eviscerates the utilitarian myths about sex that dominate our culture. And he does it phenomenologically (i.e. starting from the data of moral experience), and via personalism, in a way reminiscent of Josef Pieper and Dietrich von Hildebrand.
[Sexual desire] is rooted in animal instincts. But in a person desire is re-centered, self-attributed to the I, so as to become part of the inter-personal dialogue. Hence sexual desire, as we know it, is peculiar to human beings. It is an interpersonal emotion, in which subject and object confront each other I to I. In describing sexual desire we are describing John's desire for Mary, or Jane's desire for Bill. And the people themselves will not merely describe their desires, but also experience them, as my desire for you. 'I want you' is not a figure of speech but the true expression of what I feel. And here the pronouns identify that very centre of free and responsible choice which constitutes the inter-personal reality of each of us. I want you as the free being that you are, and your freedom is wrapped up in the thing I want.
...This is not a state of the body, even though it involves certain bodily changes. It is a process in the soul, a steady awakening of one person to another, through touches, glances and caresses. The exchange of glances is particularly important here, and illustrates a general feature of personal relations. People look at each other, as animals do. But they also look into each other, and do this in particular when mutually aroused. The look of desire is like a summons, a call to the other self to show itself in the eyes, to weave its own freedom and selfhood into the beam that calls to it….Likewise the caress and the touch of desire have an epistemic character: they are an exploration, not of a body, but of a free being in his or her embodiment. They too call to the other in his freedom, and are asking him to show himself.
...Persons are individuals, not merely in the weak sense of being substances that can be reidentified, and which undergo change, but in the strong sense of being identified, both by themselves and by others, as unique, irreplaceable, not admitting of substitutes.
...It follows from this that, in those relations between persons in which self and other relate as subject and object, each is viewed as unique, without a substitute. As I try to show in my book, this has an immediate impact on sexual desire. John, frustrated in his desire for Mary, cannot be offered Jane as a substitute – someone who says 'Take Jane, she will do just as well' has not understand what John wants, in wanting Mary.
His conclusion about the effects of pornography is remarkably similar to Mary Eberstadt's:
Like all cost-free forms of pleasure, porn is habit-forming. It short-circuits that round- about route to sexual satisfaction which passes by the streams and valleys of arousal, in which the self is always at risk from the other, and always motivated to give itself freely in desire… It exhibits in addition, however, a depersonalizing habit – a habit of viewing sex as something external to the human personality, to relationship, and to the arena of free encounters. Sex is reduced to the sexual organs, which are stuck on, in the imagination, like cut-outs in a child's picture. To think that this can be done, and the habit of doing it fully established, without damage to a person's capacity to be a person, or to relate to other persons as one sexual being to others, is to make a large and naïve assumption about the ability of the mind to compartmentalize. Indeed psychologists and psychotherapists are increasingly encountering the damage done by porn, not to marriages and relationships only, but to the very capacity to engage in them. Sex, portrayed in the porno-image, is an affair of attractive people with every technical accomplishment. Most people are not attractive, and with only second-class equipment. Once they are led by their porn addiction to see sex in the instrumentalized way that porn encourages, they begin to lose confidence in their capacity to enjoy sex in any other way than through fantasy. People who lose confidence in their ability to attract soon become unattractive. And then the fear of desire arises, and from that fear the fear of love. This, it seems to me, is the real risk attached to pornography. Those who become addicted to this risk-free form of sex run a risk of another and greater kind. They risk the loss of love, in a world where only love brings happiness.
Having read and heard Scruton in this regard, I am wondering if and to what degree he coincides with Wojtyla and von Hildebrand and how he might diverge?
I think the Scruton article (to which Katie linked in her post) is very very good, and profoundly in harmony with both Wojtyla and von Hildebrand.
There is only one minor point with which I (and I think vH) would disagree, viz. that there are many things, such as physical pain, fatigue, hunger, or seeing and hearing, which we experience in the same way as animals experience them.
As far as seeing and hearing go, all one has to do is think of a dog or cat hearing Beethoven's 9th or seeing one of Giotto's frescoes, to understand what I mean. But also in the case of pain or hunger, sensations that are, in some sense, less spiritual than sight and hearing, there is an important difference. The mere fact that we can ask ourselves "How long is this going to last?" drastically changes the nature of pain. Pain is experienced differently depending on whether it is deserved or not, understood or not, willingly embraced as an offering or bitterly resented as meaningless, etc.
This difference is very important, it seems to me, in sexuality. It is not just in the intentional (i.e. other-directed) aspects of sexuality that our personhood makes itself felt, but also in the accompanying non-intentional sensations. (I think von Hildebrand makes this point in In Defense of Purity. But I can't find the passage.)
Anyway, it is only a minor point, with which, for all I know, Scruton would agree.
I admire the way Scruton refuses, in the linked article, to get distracted by unnecessary philosophical difficulties. He sticks to the real task at hand, which is "to remind you of what you all know and what you have all experienced in moments of desire." In answer to Matt, however, I should perhaps add that in his book Sexual Desire, where Scruton does not avoid these thorny philosophical issues, some important differences between him and Wojtyla and von Hildebrand emerge. In particular, from what I remember, the latter two thinkers would question his interpretation of Immanuel Kant and insist more strongly on the importance of metaphysics.
I left out something in yesterday's comment that I had meant to add:
Unlike Wojtyla and von Hildebrand, Scruton goes into more detailed discussions about all sorts of sexual immoralities and perversions. (One wishes these discussions weren't necessary. However, given the state of things I think they are.) Scruton's insights into rape are an example, e.g. why it is "experienced as an annihilation and not just abuse," or why girls complain about date-rape even if they consented to it. Also his explanation for how pornography, by replacing reality with fantasy, leads to a loss of self and love, is a good case in point.

As technology freely crosses borders and international markets open their arms ever wider to new business, the '90s wave of globalization shows no signs of cresting. And while countless entrepreneurs crossed horizons in the past, even more will follow in the coming months and years.
"International trade is driving the overall economy," says Winters. "Small business still represents a fairly small percentage, but the number of businesses growing in international trade is increasing."
Despite the initial enthusiasm for breaking into international markets, however, the logistics sometimes provide a sobering reality check. "As far as extending credit, [building] relationships, finding distributors, making sure their products are used and understood--it's hard to do that long distance," Winters says. "But I think [entrepreneurs] can do it, and they should learn how to do it and strategically pick countries they think they can have a quick impact on."
Wacker is even more optimistic. "A 15- or 20-person company today has just as much potential and the necessary resources and skill levels to be a global company," he says. "That's one of the wonderful things about [going global]: It's not just for big companies."
As the nation's small-business owners peruse the global landscape for opportunities, the challenge becomes targeting those areas that hold the most potential for 1998 and beyond. Our experts point to Asia, Canada, Eastern and Western Europe, and Latin America. "China, India, the Middle East, Pakistan--to me, those are by far the biggest opportunities over the next 20 years," says Birch.
But predictably, those lacking experience in the global arena should start out with modest aspirations, says Winters. "I think Canada and Mexico are great places to start because of their proximity, and I think Latin America is still a great opportunity," he says. "Eastern Europe also has a ton of potential, but [entrepreneurs] should start a little closer to home first, to get grounded."

Do you penalize a player... ...whithout a BBD - IF...

You see a player walking off the field with no BBD on his gun. Instead he has his finger stuck down the barrel. Says he lost his bag/plug on the field.
Do you ping him on it?

If I give one out I make a note on my pocket log of who it was given to and then address the issue with them again in the pro shop between rounds.
I have managed to talk a couple field owners to get sleeves screened like business cards for the REF's to carry and when someone needs one you slip it in the barrel and tell them the pro shop sells them for 3.00. Generally the guys will go and pay for them but if they don't at least the marketing item went out and the marker was safe.

Yes you could have a broken finger if the marker fires. But when compared to blinding or possibly killing someone else in the stagging area from it it's not much of a comparison. As for unloading and degassing the marker. Many markers still retain enough pressurized gases after the tank is removed to fire a few shots and it's still possible to have a ball stuck in the breech even after emptying the hopper. Plus the scare factor also implants the use of a BBD a little firmer than someone telling you to use one.

if it was a renter then i would either take the gun away for the rest of the day or yell to get back out of the safe zone, a little while ago we had some prolobams with this, 5ish people got kicked out, 1 got a life time ban

I am not trying to grind on you at all but I want to make a point about your fields rules.
Your field would accept an implement that could impale someone but not a finger? Squeegees were never intended to be a blocking device and they dont meet the standards set for them to be designated a barrel blocking device i.e. able to withstand minimum of three rapid shots and remain securely/safely in place. I suppose if it did meet that then it might work but that would be a really rough squeegee to use for cleaning. At least if the person has their finger in the marker, it would add extra incentive to be careful getting to the pro shop. Just sticking a squeegee in the barrel turns a paintball accident into a arrow accident.
On the matter of degassing the marker, I dont have an issue with that so long as it is the REF doing the degassing, and clearing the chamber making the marker safe and not the player. With the new issues about tanks being in the danger forefront, the fewer times a tank is screwed in and out around the field the happier I am. Im even training new REFs to tell renters just to take their markers back to the equipment room and exchange marker/tank as a unit for an aired replacement when they run out during play. I cringe every time I am on a field and I see a renter take his tank off and carry it to the fill station to be refilled. They may know everything there is to know about doing it safely, but then again, why risk it.

I also take their marker from them and leave it in the firing range, an area between the field and the 'safe' zone. That way theres not a chance that an accident could happen.

Emanuel's City Council floor leader expresses doubts about banning plastic bags
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter June 19, 2013 2:53PM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's City Council floor leader let the cat out of the plastic bag Wednesday: He has serious doubts about prohibiting Chicago retailers from putting their merchandise in plastic bags.
Just when a San-Francisco-style environmental plan to ban plastic bags appeared to be gaining steam in the City Council, Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th) slowed it down by raising a red flag about the cost to grocers and consumers.
The Il. Retail Merchants Association has branded the renewed effort to ban plastic bags now clogging the waste stream as a "tax on retailers" that could stifle Mayor Rahm Emanuel's efforts to fill Chicago's food deserts with new grocery stores. That's because paper bags cost three times as much as plastic bags.
On Wednesday, O'Connor raised those same concerns.
"There's a fair amount of testimony that indicates that it will raise food prices in the area if people have to pay for that bag if the cost of the bag gets passed on," O'Connor said.
"If you increase the cost of groceries for folks in the city for this purpose, that would be a difficult vote for some members of the City Council to take, given where we are with the economy and peoples' paychecks at the present time."
O'Connor said he's not even sure banning plastic bags is the right way to go from an environmental standpoint. He cited testimony that switching to paper bags might "create more environmental damage" than plastic.
"People in the Council will want to have a more full understanding of what the merits of this are before they actually vote on it….It creates a fair amount of questions for me. I just don't think it's ready to be teed up yet," he said.
Some retailers and environmentalists have suggested that the City Council impose a 10-cent tax on paper bags that would allow retailers to recoup the added cost. If consumers see they're paying more for paper bags, they might be inclined to bring their own re-usable bags, they contend.
O'Connor is not so sure.
"I don't know too many people [who] peruse their grocery bill that closely to determine that they paid ten cents for a bag," he said.
"If they were told they were paying for it or if it was printed on the bag somewhere, they might know it better than looking at their grocery bill. I generally look and see what my shopper's card has saved me as opposed to what I've spent."
Earlier this week, the City Council's Committee on Health and Environmental Protection took hours of testimony, but did not vote on the "ban the bag" ordinance introduced nineteen months ago by Ald. "Proco" Joe Moreno (1st).
But, it was clear that the ban had broad support even though Emanuel remains on the fence. That prompted Chairman George Cardenas (12th) to predict a vote at the next committee meeting on a slightly-tweaked ordinance that would phase in the ban over a 12-to-18 month period.
On Wednesday, O'Connor stressed that he doesn't know where the mayor stands on the issue and won't be able to clarify it until Emanuel returns next week from a trip to Israel to celebrate his daughter's bat mitzvah.
A top mayoral aide, who asked to remain anonymous, said Emanuel's decision to remain neutral does not mean the mayor opposes a Chicago ban on plastic bags.
"No position. Waiting for City Council to work through their concerns with each other," the mayoral aide wrote this week in a text message to the Chicago Sun-Times.
"They have a disagreement and we have a ton on our plate. If there's concensus and it moves, we would be happy to support" the ban.
Five years ago, Finance Committee Chairman Edward M. Burke (14th) proposed a ban on non-compostible plastic bags to curb the flood of bags stuck in trees and fences, jamming landfills and waterways and blamed for the annual death of a million birds and 100,000 marine animals.
But, Burke backed off after retailers joined forces with then-Mayor Richard M. Daley against the ban.
Retailers helped draft the recycling compromise and went along with it, even after expressing strong reservations about the cost. At the time, plastic bags cost two cents apiece, compared to six cents for paper and as much as 14 cents for compostible plastic bags.

The Agonizer
is a special section of the Agony Booth that contains every article that is not a review/recap of a specific movie or TV show,
including comic book recaps, book reports, and more!
"Unlike Arrow, The Flash actually includes a lot of characters from the comics, instead of just a bunch of random bad guys who happen to have the civilian name of some obscure supervillain."
"Every year their choices are boring and predictable, and every year there are scores of deserving movies that get overlooked. So I thought instead of the usual routine, I would make a list of those movies instead."
UPDATED with Part 2: Codeknight's Corner! 2012 was... a year in gaming. Just another year. But there was some cool stuff that happened, and this video is about all the games Roland played this year that he didn't already get a chance to talk about, including Spec Ops: The Line, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Tribes: Ascend, MechWarrior Online, and more!
Cecil recommends some hard to find Halloween TV specials.
"Aren't there literally hundreds of C-list Marvel heroes who deserve a boost more than Ant-Man? I mean, this is a guy who communicates telepathically with ants."
"Action Comics #176, cover dated January 1953, features Superman being an unbelievable dick, even by Superman standards. He alienates all of his friends, completely trashes his own image, and deliberately turns public opinion against him for rather unimpressive reasons. I almost think the writer came up with this story just for a laugh, never thinking it would actually ever see the light of day."
"If this isn't an incredibly messed up metaphor for child grooming (with an added icky layer of pseudo-bestiality), I don't know what is."
Sofie Liv and Jill/Sursum Ursa got invited back to Alcon 2014 to talk about different aspects of women and geek culture, helped along by a prepared slide show and a great audience.
In a rare departure from movie reviews, the Fear Fan tackles an ambitious game that tries to bring Ridley Scott's Alien to the small screen. Does it succeed, or lay more eggs than an alien queen?
Cecil takes a look at just how lazy movie posters have become.
It's time once again to roll out the barrel! The Budget Barrel, that is! Sci-fi tactical shooters are a rare beast, but every genre has a budget game or two if you look hard enough. In this episode, Roland reviews Alpha Black Zero, the first, last, and only game made by the Dutch (as far as anyone knows).
"Clips and trailers for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 started dropping, and I continued to play it cool, when on the inside I was crying tears of pure joy."
He's our awesome everyman who fights alongside the Avengers in a snappy suit. Today, Ursa takes on that most mild-mannered of badasses, Agent Phil Coulson, and discusses why Clark Gregg made Movieverse Coulson too adorable to live, along with sacrificial lambs, and death, destroyer of worlds.
She's as broken and scarred as the rest of the Avengers, but it'll never prevent her from doing the right thing. Black Widow: She's Ursa's favorite Avenger. And now, she gets character development, and a plot arc to boot!
Oh, Clint, you so sassy. In this episode, Ursa chats about some aspects of Hawkeye's character in The Avengers, and then gets overexcited by the Hawkeye Initiative, and its sterling efforts in highlighting the ridiculousness of female poses in comics. Good job there, Agent Barton!
For the final installment of Analyzing the Avengers, Ursa takes a look at all the secondary and tertiary female characters that populate the Marvel Movie-verse. Why does Pepper wear those shoes? Who is Darcy written for? How does the narrative reward Dr. Foster for her career? And is Thor's wardrobe department awesome, or what?

Climate change challenges technology
Is there an issue or area that will not be affected by climate change? Not, judging from media discussion. Something should be done and soon. Developing technology is - along with changing consumption patterns - one of the most imperative measures. So, what is it that pulls and takes technology forward, when consumers desire better technology and better products more quickly, and better efficiencies with smaller costs.
VTT established the effects of limiting greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and Finland
In Finland the use of coal will diminish – the use of natural gas, bioenergy and wind power will increase
A new report has been published on the impacts of limiting greenhouse gas emissions proposed by the EU on the energy production structure in Europe and Finland. According to the calculations for Europe, limiting EU emissions by 20 per cent until the year 2020 from the 1990 level would focus the measures mainly on the production of electricity. According to VTT's assessment, the use of coal will start to reduce in Finland regardless of the expected price level of emissions trading after 2010. The use of natural gas will increase. The use of renewable energy, such as wood based fuel and wind power will also strongly increase.
International Research Speeding Up the Adoption of the Ubiquitous M2M Internet
Machine-to-Machine Communication Increasing
A universally applicable service concept based on M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication is currently being developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland for producing new M2M services. The aim is that M2M Internet and M2M services can be used as easily and smoothly as possible. The project is focusing in particular on the services provided to users from fixed or mobile embedded systems. There is currently a great amount of interest in e.g. location-based services and personal navigation, which will offer consumers services based on their preferences.
VTT is an impartial expert organisation. Its objective is to develop new technologies, create new innovations and value added thus increasing customer's competencies. With its know how VTT produces research, development, testing and information services to public sector and companies as well as international organisations.

Determination of the purity of scrap and refined gold is a very important procedure for the financial markets, jewelry businesses and the electronics industry. Classically, the fire assay technique had been used for gold determination; however this method is very labor intensive and prone to operator errors. This application note discusses the use of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy as a very acceptable technique for gold assays and demonstrates that these analyses can be performed simply with the Buck Model 210VGP Atomic Absorption System.

Chef AF, this looks delicious! Welcome to Vegsource. I am so happy to find that you use whole foods. Surprisingly, I have not found it easy to find many vegan sources that do. Looking forward to following your blog.
Hi Heidi,
I followed a plant based diet for 26 years, but only a WHOLE FOODS plant based one for the last 7. Many people go vegan for ethical reasons and are not concerned about their health until they get sick. That's what happened to me. I think I'll blog about it soon.

If I am reading correctly... They tied.. Where did you pull this warped info from?

verizon wireless
4. vzw fanboy (unregistered)
what do you think of thst report at&t loves
5. (unregistered)
lol see a part of this is where you are at. I'm in Phx and Sprint does me just fine but looks like I'd be a complainer if I lived in the East. I would hope vzw would have better service based on their rate plans. If you are going to pay more better get better service for your money. I hope now Att can drop that fewest dropped calls slogan.
17. (unregistered)
If you read their claim it's based on WORLDWIDE coverage. SO no, they will probably not drop it because based on worldwide coverage it's a valid claim. Get your facts straight moron.
30. (unregistered)
Umm... who cares about WORLDWIDE coverage when most of us spend 95% of our time in America? If someone is dumb enough to fall for that lame slogan, then they deserve the poor service they get. It's the same with "more bars in more places." Why do I care if they get coverage in places that I am not going to be. In America, where it counts, both their slogans are null.
33. (unregistered)
Forget about worldwide and focus on America, just as you just said. I live in Phoenix too and have Verizon Wireless. I happen to know for a fact that both Sprint and Alltell have great Market coverage IN THIS AREA. Try driving outside of phoenix and you will find out that Sprint & Alltel just won't work as well or in nearly as many places as Verizon Wireless will and does. And although you may not travel outside of a 30 mile radius...there are over 300 million people in this country and I'm pretty sure they all want great coverage. The majority can have it with Verizon Wireless as it has the most coverage of any wireless provider in this country.
34. (unregistered)
I think you got me wrong, I have VZW as well. My comment was mocking AT&T's slogans. There is no doubt in my mind that VZW is the best network in America.
6. (unregistered)
Best network + best customer service + (now) great phones (HTC Touch Diamond, Pro, Samsung Omnia) = #1...Verizon Wireless. End of discussion. No more debate. J.D. Power has spoken.
8. MMMEEEE (unregistered)
Omnia? Diamond Pro?
18. (unregistered)
Lol you can't pay me to say Verizon has great phones. The Samsung OMNIA is already available on AT&T, just without 3g. That's the beauty with GSM phones, doesn't matter where they're released as long as they have a compatible radio they'll work in the US. They're just now getting a phone worth being on Verizon for in the Touch Pro, but as we all know Verizon nickels and dimes everything so have fun paying more than you would on another carrier. Other than those two phones what else is there that doesn't have a better counterpart?
32. (unregistered)
If you call "the beauty with GSM phones" the ability to take top notch European phones and use them on a sub par network, then your perception of beauty is quite flawed. I am not sure if you are aware, most likely not, but you can do the same with Verizon. If you can afford to purchase a CDMA phone from South Korea (their phones are as good, if not better than European phones), then you can activate it on the best network in America (as per JD Power). As long as VZW approves the device of course. Also, VZW is getting the Diamond and Pro as well as the Bold and Storm from Blackberry, which are all noteworthy device in my opinion.
7. (unregistered)
Ditto. Can you hear me now?

the beauty of it all is, verizon wins... oh.. and verizon buys alltell and rural. so verizon wnis more... yay verizon.

mmmm seems to me this study as done with only about 22000 people.............when there are millions who use cell phones..they only took a sampling ..and yes i use Sprint
13. (unregistered)
lol 22000 ppl sounds like that would be enough
16. (unregistered)
how is 22,000 people enough when Verizon and AT&T combined have about 140 MILLION customers?!?!?!
37. (unregistered)
Did you read the article?? It's a sampling of ALL regions of the country...not like they posted a sign saying "who wants to rate their carrier??" How do you think they poll for presidential elections or complete ANY survey in this country?? A random sampling that represents all varieties and areas of the American People. NOT EVEN 140 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED IN THE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION and you want that many in a cell phone carrier survey??? GET REAL LOL!!
14. vzw fanboy (unregistered)
haha yea that does sound like alot of ppl to me. i heart verizon
15. (unregistered)
The only real carriers are At&t and T-Mobile. The rest are just old technology wrapped in a fancy package. GSM technology is used globally and T-Mobile and At&t will always be in the lead in terms of quality cell phones, technology, and globalization.
19. (unregistered)
Actually At&t and T-mobile uses older technology. I mean T-mobile just starting building a 3G network. Altell, Verizon and Sprint have been running 3G for years now. Also look at data speeds Sprint and Verizon have the fastest and best connections Nation Wide. Plus who cares about the best Global Coverage, How many people travel outside the US enough with there phone to make it worth while? Plus Verizon works in 130+ countries with there partner Vodafone. The worlds largest cellphone provider. Also on the 22,000 people issue, I guess thoughs who thank that is small never took stats in college. Look at polls for political races they hardly ask 3,000 to 4,000 people for the whole country 350 million plus. So 22,000 is a large sample!

i agree with the original poster...and he's referring to the CDMA of Verizon vs. the GSM of T-mobile and AT&T. GSM is internationally used as a standard for most carriers, CDMA can't compete. And FYI VODAPHONE IS NOT THE LARGEST PROVIDER. It's China Mobile. 500 million GSM, NOT cdma Subscribers. Check your facts next time, yo.

CDMA is superior to GSM in many ways. More Capacity, More Security, Better Tower Handoffs and more. Not that it matters because Verizon is moving to LTE which will probably lead to the eventual transition to GSM overall since LTE is part of the GSM roadmap.

haha lol. tmobile? are you serious? verizon has more 3g coverage than tmobile has in voice coverage! haha lol...yea and most percent of the population dont call people abroad. what do you mean technology!? verizon was the fist to do a real navigation application, mobile tv, they have vcast! i mean come on. The only quality cellphones that at&t has is the iphone and the lg vu. the rest are unknown. the chocolate is so popular, the guy from superbad said "my verizon chocolate" on the video music awards. verizon has the best technology and got it first. everyone knows, the voyager, the chocolate and the env. verizon chooses their phones very carefully so they dont make the mistake of getting crap like at&T phones.
21. (unregistered)
He said my chocolate on the VMA's because in CASE YOU COULDN'T TELL, Verizon paid huge amounts of money to MTV for advertising. Frankly I think the chocolate is a chick phone and incredibly LAME. You are truly living up to your name and not thinking logically. And being a customer with AT&T means all the newest GSM hot phones you see here on phonearena that are released in Europe and around the world can be unlocked and used with AT&T. Get a life.
23. (unregistered)
well, i love verizon and laways will, but the chocolate was the worst phone they ever released.
24. (unregistered)
don't forget the motorola v325i, i dont think a specific model has ever had so many batteries sold...
35. (unregistered)
The same can be done with South Korean devices that are CDMA capable. Import them and activate them on VZW. So your point is moot.
38. (unregistered)
I work for Verizon Wireless and will freely admit that the Chocolate was a P.O.S.. One of the worst phones we've ever launched along with the original Motorola Q and can we all please remember the original Motorola Rzr V3c? Have you ever noticed how once we launch a crappy phone we immediately come out with a better version?? The original choclate was only on shelves for about 6 months before the 2nd Chocolate...the 8550 launched and it's great! Personally I hate the keypad etc...but thoses are Personal preferences...not quality. VZW has launched plenty of junk phones and plenty of amazing devices. Just like every other carrier has in it's lineup. Besides...seriously people....does it really matter how great your phone is if your network isn't?? Would you run out and buy a 52" top of the line HD flat screen and hook it up to basic cable??? Really?? I didn't think so.

verizon will take over the mobile universe. now apple just has to release the iphone to verizon...then its a done deal.
26. (unregistered)
never going to happen. Steve Jobs has already stated hi distaste for the antiquated CDMA network, his main motivation for collaborating with AT&T.
28. (unregistered)
I agree with one part of your story. It won't happen with the iphone ever being released on VZW. It was VZW who tured down Apple because VZW wants control over what the phone does and what programs are on it. Apple wanted control so VZW said no. ATT said yes cause the didn't care they just wanted the phone. I agree with alot on how poor VZW is with being very stingy on what a phone can do or have on it and the nickel and dime thing. Ok they nickel and dime if you don't get a package once you have the VCast Package there's no nickel and dime on downloads and internet usage. If your pissed off about it get the damn package and leave it alone. Also no matter what others say in the states VZW is number one. I live in a town that you can't use T-Mobile but yet VZW and ATT have full coverage with no problems. VZW isn't on a old system they have had 3G for years and T-Mobile and ATT are just now coming out with it. 3G is in my area for VZW only. Not for any other company so far. So for me VZW has everything covered. And no other company can compare for me.
44. (unregistered)
Maybe he aqcuired that distaste AFTER VZW declined the iPhone.
25. (unregistered)
i'll never concede that a CDMA provider can be the best in reception, call clarity, dropped calls, etc. GSM is inifinitely clearer and more effective. T-mobile and AT&T dominate in service throughout the Southeast; I'm really shocked to see Alltel even on the list with their lack of coverage area in the Atlanta area to say the least. JD powers is full of it.
39. (unregistered)
Wow...you must be one of those people you never leaves home lol. Ignorance breeds stupidity. Classic example.
40. (unregistered)
Alltel's Southeast coverage is pretty much blanketing the Carolina's, and it's pretty powerful in Florida too. Can't vouch for Georgia but you have your head in the sand if you think GSM's tinny noisy scratchy voice service is superior in any way to any CDMA carrier.
31. vzw fanboy (unregistered)
i know i am a vzw fan, you are just going to call me a fanboy anyway, so im one step ahead of you, and i am not affiliated with verizon, i am 18 and in school i did a speech on why verizon is the best carrier in the united states and got an A. i know verizon was a big sponsor for the VMAs but it was still funny, idiot. cingular keeps getting shi*tier. at&t is sooo behind verizon, haha lol. the big red does it again.
50. (unregistered)
Dude thanks for the laugh. 18 and you got an A on an opinion speech about why you think VZW is the best. And because you got an A, you must be right! XD I needed that tonight. On a more serious note, I've worked for Verizon for the last 3 years and I still carry an AT&T phone. I think it's funny comparing Verizon's 3G to AT&T's GSM ... of course 3G will be better! Don't forget that AT&T has a pretty good 3G network as well. Good to see VZW is improving in customer service. It's what drove me away from them ... hour long waits for service in stores, indifference to their customers, nickel and diming for everything, crippling their phones (limited BT profiles anyone?), etc. They're also the reason I'll never sign a 2 year contract again ... We never stop working for you ... until you become a customer. CDMA is a dying technology as far as wireless goes. It's good at what it does, but it's not the future.
42. (unregistered)
Between Alltel renting VZW towers, and VZW acquiring Alltel... I guess VZW ranks highest in all regions.
43. (unregistered)
Since JD Power only does survey's on carriers that opt in, AT&T, VZW, Sprint, Allteland T-mob have about 220 Million customers combined. 22,000 is .01% of that. This is of course opinioned based as all JD Power Survey's are but you cannot deny this isn't a great PR boost for the Top Carriers. Fanboy's: if rolls were reversed we would have VZW customers and Fanboys saying how VZW is awesome and wondering what makes AT&T so great.
45. (unregistered)
IF being the operative word, the truth remains that VZW ranked highest in their survey in all regions (if you take into consideration that Alltel rents VZW towers, and they have been acquired by VZW). Here is a "what if" statement for you: if JD surveyed all 220 million, the results would still be the same.
46. (unregistered)
I don't think the # would have changed much if they surveyed .1%, 1% or even 10%

I'm Going To Correct All Of You! CDMA Technology Was Invented In The Early 80's! GSM Started In Europe In The Early 90's! GSM Is Actually Newer But CDMA Has Other Technology Attached To It! Such As WCDMA! GSM Was First Brought Here By T-Mobile Around 2003! AT&T Did Follow Shortly Going Off Their AMPS Network! Sprint Used AMPS As We'll! When Entering Internationally CDMA Turns To WCDMA Or TDMA! Thats How CDMA Phones Work Off In International Countries! But Most Phones Here Don't Do WCDMA! GSM Is Worldwide & Isn't Stronger In Some Circumstances! CDMA Can Multi Hand Off Calls From Tower To Tower! Unlike GSM It Is Uncapable! But Since GSM Is Going To 3G Voice! Then It Will Be Able To Handoff From Tower To Tower! Look Up CDMA & GSM It Will Tell You CDMA Is Older! Verizon Wireless Is #1 Because Thats The First Company At The Time It Was Cell One! So Verizon Has Been Around Longer! Alltel Was Part Of Nextel Once! US Cellular Was Part Of Verizon But Wasn't Verizon At The Time! AT&T Came Into The Picture 1999! Sprint Came Into The Picture I Believe Around 97! Verizon Has Been Since 1984 I Believe But Was Cell One & Another Name Too! T-Mobile Around 2003!

Please check your facts. There is so much BS in there that I don't have a shovel big enough to move it all.
48. ViperMatrixXM (unregistered)
Sorry! I Was Wrong On One Thing! AT&T Was Doin TDMA & AMPS For Data! CDMAS Date Actually Consists Of 1984 When A DMA Network Was Invented! GSM In Europe Was Back 1992 I Believe!

Clearly we have fanboys here but Men Lie, Women Lie, numbers don't. Verizon won and there's nothing you can do about it. Just like there is nothing you can do about the fact that having the best global service doesn't mean shit when you live in the United States, where if I may remind you, Verizon has the best service. You can have your iphones and ported/unlocked phones all you want but when you're stuck telling all your friends "can you hear me now?" it's really not worth it. I agree Verizon does need to be more lax with their network and let more phones in/unlock their GPS capabilities/reduce their prices but they are getting better at it. The Samsung OMNIA i907, Blackberry Thunder, HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. All we need is time people. And yes we do have the best 3G service and about to move to 4G...T-emporary MOBILE doesnt even have 3G in most parts of this country yet. Lets be serious...they just launched 3G THIS WEEK!

The news is staged, anticipated, reported, analyzed until all interest is wrung from it and abandoned for some new novelty.Thomas Griffith
Almost every culture in the Thousand Cultures had some wisdom literature, and much of it was the same between any two cultures. . . . Cultures tend to be alike in much of what they think are the basic virtues, but one of the ones they are most alike in, though it rarely appears in their book of wisdom, is: Distrust strangers, fear foreigners, dread novelty.John Barnes
This hunger for novelty which makes sensuous love equally changeful and rapacious, which makes us seek the same emotion in other bodies which we cast off as fast as they fall turns life into an infernal succession of disenchantments, spites and scorn; and it is chiefly that hunger for novelty which leaves us a prey to unrealizable hope and irrevocable regret. Those lovers who persist in remaining together execute themselves; the name of their common death, which at first was Absence, becomes Presence.Henri Barbusse
What am I? I am the desire not to die. I have always been impelled not that evening alone by the need to construct the solid, powerful dream that I shall never leave again. We are all, always, the desire not to die. This desire is as immeasurable and varied as life's complexity, but at bottom this is what it is: To continue to be, to be more and more, to develop and to endure. All the force we have, all our energy and clearness of mind serve to intensify themselves in one way or another. We intensify ourselves with new impressions, new sensations, new ideas. We endeavour to take what we do not have and to add it to ourselves. Humanity is the desire for novelty founded upon the fear of death. That is what it is.Henri Barbusse
The Holy Spirit is God eternally giving himself; like a never-ending spring he pours forth nothing less than himself. In view of this ceaseless gift, we come to see the limitations of all that perishes, the folly of the consumerist mindset. We begin to understand why the quest for novelty leaves us unsatisfied and wanting. Are we not looking for an eternal gift? For the spring that will never run dry?Pope Benedict XVI
Do not be fooled by those who see you as just another consumer in a market of undifferentiated possibilities, where choice itself becomes the good, novelty usurps beauty, and subjective experience displaces truth.Pope Benedict XVI


text: Vettel takes pole as Red Bulls own the night 24 September, 2011 Sebastian Vettel celebrates his pole position in Singapore parc ferme Sep.24 (PVM) Sebastian Vettel took another step towards wrapping up the 2011 Formula 1 world championship title by setting the fastest time in qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Circuit. Sebastian Vettel will start from pole position for the eleventh time this season The Red Bull driver was again in another league as he stamped his authority around the tricky street circuit to notch up his eleventh pole position start of the season. Vettel said afterwards, "I decided to abort my second run when I made a mistake because it is very easy to damage the car so I went wide. I was quite happy with my first lap. I think the circuit ramped up at the end and I think it was possible to go faster but I'm very happy. It's a very difficult track with such a long lap to get everything right. I think we learned from our mistakes that we made last year. Let's see tomorrow as it's a very long race." Team mate Mark Webber came close with a late fast lap, which saw him second on the timing screens when the chequered flag dropped to end the session, making it an all Red bull front row. "I'm happy. It's been a very testing venue for me in the past. Sebastian laid it down pretty hard and fast. Obviously he was very quick. I'm satisfied given the curved ball teams can face at this track. Both cars are up there so it's a great result," said Webber. Top three pose for photographers after qualifying in Singapore Best of the rest was Jenson Button who came good on the second day after an out of sorts Friday around the marina. The McLaren pair have looked likely to challenge for top honours since the start of proceedings. Button summed up his night, "The lap for me was good, both my laps. If I had put them both together it would have been good but you struggle to get it all together round here through all three sectors. It's something I've been fighting all day. I didn't get much running yesterday so I'm pleased to be in the top three and it's a good position to be in for the race tomorrow. It's going to be a challenge." Lewis Hamilton's Q3 was compromised when he suffered a right rear puncture on a set of soft tyres which prompted him to stick to one run, which in the end was only good for fourth place. "It was quite an eventful one. It was still quite good. They had a fueling problem, we were running out of time and we couldn't get enough fuel in the car. So we didn't have enough time for a second run. I'm not in a bad position but I think we could have got on the front row," lamented Hamilton. Fernando Alonso will start from fifth on the grid Fifth fastest on the night was Fernando Alonso who manhandled his Ferrari 150 Italia around the unforgiving streets. Team mate Felipe Massa will start from sixth on the grid. The Ferrari duo will fill the third row of the grid, ahead of the Mercedes GP pair of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher. Qualifying was briefly red flagged with nine minutes remaining of the second session when Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi went airborne after hitting the kerb at speed through the turn 10 chicane and crashed into the wall. The fifth row will be all Force India with Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta, ninth and tenth respectively, making it through into Q3 but not doing any laps in the final ten minutes – opting to save tyres instead. Bruno Senna, who by his own admission is still familiarising himself with the nuances Renault R31 which has occupied since Belgium, again outqualified his team mate Vitaly Petrove, this time in dramatic style. Senna faced the drop in Q1 as he embarked on his final run, but did well to set the 15th best time with a car that is clearly unsuited to the streets of Singapore. Problem for the team is that the time demoted Petrov to 17th and an early shower. Formula 1 can be cruel at times… Saturday, 24 September – Qualifying Pos No Driver Team Q1 Q2 Q3 Laps 1 1 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull Racing-Renault 1:46.397 1:44.931 1:44.381 12 2 2 Mark Webber Red Bull Racing-Renault 1:47.332 1:45.651 1:44.732 14 3 4 Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes 1:46.956 1:45.472 1:44.804 14 4 3 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 1:47.014 1:46.829 1:44.809 12 5 5 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 1:47.054 1:45.779 1:44.874 13 6 6 Felipe Massa Ferrari 1:47.945 1:45.955 1:45.800 14 7 8 Nico Rosberg Mercedes 1:47.688 1:46.405 1:46.013 11 8 7 Michael Schumacher Mercedes 1:48.819 1:46.043 11 9 14 Adrian Sutil Force India-Mercedes 1:47.952 1:47.093 14 10 15 Paul di Resta Force India-Mercedes 1:48.022 1:47.486 14 11 17 Sergio Perez Sauber-Ferrari 1:47.717 1:47.616 13 12 11 Rubens Barrichello Williams-Cosworth 1:48.061 1:48.082 14 13 12 Pastor Maldonado Williams-Cosworth 1:49.710 1:48.270 16 14 18 Sebastien Buemi Toro Rosso-Ferrari 1:48.753 1:48.634 11 15 9 Bruno Senna Renault 1:48.861 1:48.662 13 16 19 Jaime Alguersuari Toro Rosso-Ferrari 1:49.588 1:49.862 10 17 16 Kamui Kobayashi Sauber-Ferrari 1:48.054 8 18 10 Vitaly Petrov Renault 1:49.835 8 19 20 Heikki Kovalainen Lotus-Renault 1:50.948 6 20 21 Jarno Trulli Lotus-Renault 1:51.012 6 21 24 Timo Glock Virgin-Cosworth 1:52.154 7 22 25 Jerome d'Ambrosio Virgin-Cosworth 1:52.363 6 23 22 Daniel Ricciardo HRT-Cosworth 1:52.404 6 24 23 Vitantonio Liuzzi HRT-Cosworth 1:52.810 6 Q1 107% Time 1:53.844 Tweet

#ManicureMonday: 3 Amazing New Red Polishes To Try!
The EMA carpet may have been black, but the manis were all red! Check out the top crimson manis celebs were rocking, plus the best polishes to recreate the look at home.
By Kara McGrath
Ellie Goulding's Super Dark Red Mani
If you want to rock red but aren't into brighter shades, try a dark, almost-purple shade like Ellie's! It's a way edgier take on classic crimson, and it's easier to match with every ensemble. For fair skin, a red with warm undertones is most flattering, but medium to darker skin tones can go darker!
