Most of the movies my kids repeatedly watch are films I can't stand to watch even once. They fall into a few categories: cookie-cutter, kids-rule-the-world films starring Tim Allen or Eddie Murphy; animations featuring talking bugs, cars, fish, household appliances and pocket lint; or toy-themed movies from the '80s.
But to my tired eyes, there's one kids' film that's worth watching: The Incredibles.
Here are the top 10 reasons I consider The Incredibles to be the most rewatchable kids' movie for dads. (Hey, I can only speak for myself.)
1. It has better action sequences than any Vin Diesel film ever made.
2. The parents are the stars, not the kids.
3. Five words: Samuel L. Jackson on ice
4. Three more words: No Robin Williams
5. There are anthropomorphic characters, monsters or talking wildlife.
6. The sexual innuendos are used as a clever entertainment device, not a lame comic throw-away line for grownups.
7. It's funnynot just cute, but laugh-out-loud funny.
8. There are no sing-alongs.
9. Did I mention Samuel L. Jackson on ice?
10. It's about superheroes.
To be clear, The Incredibles isn't the only recent kids' film I've liked. I really enjoyed Up, Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E. But when I have to prematurely stop a movie somewhere around Act III to send the kids to bed, The Incredibles is the only one I'll actually finish when I come back down. It's just that good… but I'm still taping Law & Order on my DVR anyway

Microsoft says Obama needs to stop using BlackBerry – Might be Canadian Security Threat
Last week you may have seen that President Obama was allowed to keep his BlackBerry by the NSA. Basically it got a super encryption and will be allowed to be kept for personal communications only. While for his more Presidential needs he will be using a Windows Mobile powered Sectera Edge. Someone at Microsoft actually released a comment to the WSJ saying this:
"You would be sending your data outside the country," says Randy Siegel, a Microsoft enterprise mobile strategist who works on federal government projects. "We wouldn't want the casual musings or official communications of the most important person in the world being intercepted by others."
What part of Super-Encryption doesn't he get? Look at this huge thing they want him to use for everything? Below is the Sectera Edge.

Q: I have a frustrating issue whereby I can open encrypted files that have been sent to me by another PGP user on email, but when that same user uploads files to an FTP site I cannot decrypt any of the files. Even though it's the same person encrypting them. What's going on here?
A: Whether or not you can decrypt an email or file has nothing to do with the senders key. It depends on whether or not the content is encrypted to your public key. The email is being correctly encrypted to your public key because the sender is probably using the PGP Email Proxy in PGP Desktop which automatically selects the key that has the email address to which the message is being sent. When the sender is encrypting the file prior to placing it on the server s/he is very likely only encrypting to their own public key and not yours. You'll need to ask the sender to add your public key when encrypting the files. This is done in the PGP Recipients window that pops up after the file to be encrypted is selected.

Slept over at Mitchellan's parents' house last night. Decided to ring Carol once and for all and ask her if I could come round for dinner. I did, and no-one told me to leave, so I stayed. That is, I stayed and slept in Mitch's old bed, AFTER we had a night swim and sex in his parents' pool. Mwahahahahahaaaa!!!
Anyway, his boss came round this morning for like five hours, so me and his mum went shopping with his little brothers Zac and Lach. It was great, and we all really bonded! Then we sat and had a chat for ages and bonded some more. It culminated with me asking if it would be okay for me to stay over the three nights per week when Mitch is not at my mum's. She said yes. Great. We are getting a new Queen size bed after Christmas. Yay! If all goes well she should warm to the idea of us getting our own home and getting married. Fingers crossed.

Saggy pants drama revived after 'drag queen' allowed to fly
The story about the football player who was booted off a US Airways flight for his saggy pants is getting a second wind.
That's thanks to a follow-up story by the San Francisco Chronicle that says six days before the saggy-pants drama, "a man who was wearing little but women's undergarments was allowed to fly the airline, a US Airways spokeswoman conceded Tuesday."
ARCHIVES: Baggy pants lead to arrest of US Airways passenger (June 16)
The Chronicle posts the picture on its website -- see it here, we don't have the rights to publish it -- and says it was sent to the paper by Jill Tarlow. She says she was onboard a June 9 US Airways flight from Fort Lauderdale to Phoenix that the panty-wearing man also was on.
Tarlow tells the Chronicle several passengers complained about the man's appearance, but US Airways let him fly on the flight.
"No one would believe me if I didn't take his picture," Tarlow tells the Chronicle. "It was unbelievable. ... And he loved it. He posed for me."
Of course, that stands in contrast to what happened to passenger Deshon Marman last week. He was denied a spot on a US Airways flight from San Francisco because he was wearing "saggy pajama pants sagged to mid-thigh level," according to the Chronicle.
The airline cited "inappropriate" dress, but Marman's attorney says the picture from Tarlow shows a double standard.
Marman, a 20-year-old football player at the University of New Mexico, is African-American.
"It just shows the hypocrisy involved," Joe O'Sullivan, Marman's attorney, said to the Chronicle after viewing Tarlow's picture.
"They let a drag queen board a flight and welcomed him with open arms," O'Sullivan says. "Employees didn't ask him to cover up. He didn't have to talk to the pilot. They didn't try to remove him from the plane -- and many people would find his attire repugnant."
O'Sullivan went on to tell the Chronicle that he believes race played a role in the disparate treatment of the two passengers.

Scare tactics: Playing politics, sequester-style
First, sequester is NOT the end of the world as we know it. Even if those mandated budget cuts occur, it does NOT mean that government, essentially, is shut down. It does not mean the end of services. It does not mean meat, or drugs, would go unexamined, and, thus, would disappear from store shelves. It need not mean the air traffic control system must shut down. It does not mean the military would not be able to defend the United States.
It DOES mean government must start managing its money - and end non-essential activities. It does mean there might be far fewer $1,000 hammers purchased by the Pentagon. It probably means there will be far fewer colonels acting as aides to far fewer generals roaming the corridors of the Pentagon. It does mean priorities must be set. It does mean some things will no longer be affordable - and it does, very likely, mean that some people, particularly those employed in government, will lose their jobs.
That's the reality. That's why sequester was chosen as a last resort. And it is why the nation finds itself sitting on sequester's doorstep right now: Government has failed. It has failed to control spending. It has failed to find a way to cut spending. It already has increased taxes, yet the Obama administration says those tax hikes are not enough, more are needed. Congress remains impotent, frequently on vacation, but never able to act.
Americans should be thankful that in a rare moment President Obama and his administration pushed the option of sequester as a means of forcing government to come to terms with its out-of-control spending.
Yes. President Obama. Not Congress. Not congressional Democrats. Not congressional Republicans.
Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, an associate editor of the Washington Post, writes in a recent column published in the Post:
"My extensive reporting for my book 'The Price of Politics' shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of (then White House chief of staff Jack) Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors - probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.
"Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved."
Yet now, the President warns of the most dire consequences of sequester, should it be allowed to happen. His latest scare tactic: More than a hundred air traffic control towers could be closed and travelers could expect long flight delays beginning in April.
He's not alone in making threats. All sides in the debate are guilty. But none seem willing to admit there are alternatives to the threats being made to intimidate the public, voters and taxpayers alike, into begging for higher taxes so that government, despite all of its excess, can be saved.
Private companies, responding to difficult economic circumstances, repeatedly have been forced to reduce their workforce. They have been forced to do it without compromising the products they sell. They have been forced to reduce employee benefits. Workers, each of you, know you have been expected to do more for less for a long time now.
No less can be expected, demanded, from government. And it can be done without ending, r even seriously restricting, any and all essential services.
It is true that the resulting cuts might slow economic growth initially, but so, too, has the return of the temporary 2 percent Social Security tax cut, and so, too, will soaring gasoline prices, as the high cost of oil ripples through the economy. Those are painful but inescapable realities. Binge spending has been a government reality for far too long; of course there will be pain in ending it, but far less pain than the nation will feel if it is allowed to continue.
Reject the scare tactics. Demand that government face economic reality. Demand that it accept the spending cuts by targeting ALL non-essential services and employees. If necessary, adopt across-the-board pay cuts. Private enterprise has been forced to do so. Cut benefits. Private enterprise has been forced to do so.
Reject the scare tactics. Hold government accountable.

Gems of Ecuador!
- Submitted by: Ulla, United States
- Website: http://www.BeyondPoetry.Info
- Submission Date: 03rd Mar 2005
From the north, a flight to the Southern sphere,
Will bring you there.
Although the country may in part appear poor,
Treasures hide behind the door,
Giving rise to the gems of Ecuador!
Arrival into Quito by night,
Leaves wonders to be revealed by morning light.
No time to lose,
Hostel La Casa Sol offered a safe heaven to snooze.
Off to the rainforest the next day,
It was a 6-hour bumpy partly washed out road and way.
Finally the treetops of the rainforest in front of me lay.
Unmistakably moist and humid land,
The rainforest extend a welcoming hand.
Imbedded in the garden of light,
Alinahui Butterfly Eco lodge is a magical sight,
A Gem of Ecuador simple and bright.
A four-legged canine rushed to my feet,
She was to become my special gem and treat.
Totally protective, yet tame, Connie was her name.
From the time I arrived till the day I left,
None could commit a crime or theft,
Of protection I was not bereft.
Until early morning light,
Consistently she slept by my door each night.
We walked in the primal forest as an odd pair,
She silently showed me the way with care,
Yes, both of us were bitten by tics,
Those are just some of the odd little sidekicks.
Mosquitoes and no seeums were certainly found,
But somehow I was not bitten all around.
Vitamin B as prevention did the job,
And I did not have to scratch and sob.
My cabin overlooked the Napo-river,
This river to the Amazon flow and water deliver.
The cabin was on stilts and was simple and pleasant,
Another gem and present.
Like the natural source of a sunflower,
The lodge is run on solar power.
The garden was filled with flutterbyes,
More commonly know as butterflies.
One day an electric blue Morpho butterfly sat on a blade,
Soaking up the rays of the sun in a glade,
I walked up and touched its left wing,
Thinking it would flutter away in a swing.
Surprisingly it did not flee,
I got the opportunity to clearly see,
The power of HERE, NOW and BE!
As the days went by and I got bolder,
I ventured out at night to find giant moths land on my shoulder.
The yellow tipped dragonfly sat on a tree,
I walked up close to it see,
Surprisingly it did not flee,
I got the opportunity to clearly see,
The power of HERE, NOW and BE!
I came to a halt and a stall,
When finding a huge tarantula on the bathroom wall.
Another unique creature is disguised as a stick,
And can be quite a kick
It is almost impossible to see,
When pretending to be a stick on a tree.
Watching a leaf cutter ant,
Cut little pieces of a leaf plant,
Is enough to start huff and pant.
Their patience and determination so present,
They work as hard as a peasant.
In the rainforest many hummingbirds buzzed by,
But no matter how hard you try,
You barely saw them fly,
Energized by jet-fuel I think,
Their speed was faster than a blink.
Unlike the ones at higher elevation,
Where there was more flirtation on location.
Many, many other birds were seen overhead,
In the forest they lived and kept fed.
They squawked and sang,
Until the ears rang.
Like a visible spark,
The fireflies fluttered by in the dark.
Not even the fastest most impressive Honda,
Can compare to holding a 4 yard long Anaconda.
There is in the jungle a deeply resonating sound,
Unforgettably it will continually you hound.
Orchestrated by the many crickets to produce this incredible vibration,
A purely primordial formation,
Giving rise to the earthshaking sound of creation.
Not to forget the many flowers and plants,
That ensures medicinal research and grants.
The rainforest is custodian of ancient keys,
Although dangerously close to destruction by the logging increase.
The rainforest is seductive, warm and steamy,
And sometimes appear dreamy.
It provides the exhibit of rapid birth, growth and decay,
The three main factors of the manifest play.
Distinctively sharing the diversity of Existence,
When free from resistance.
To awareness of WHAT IS, it gives assistance.
There is no valid reference,
To describe the rainforests mighty presence,
Its essence is the foundation of Earths luminescence.
So the days went by,
Full of many creatures that walk, crawl or fly.
Until it was time to the rainforest say goodbye.
Once again a bumpy road and 14,000 foot climb,
And in the high Andean vistas of Papallacta yourself you will find.
This volcanic hot springs resort,
Will any aching muscle release and healing support.
Cradled in the emerald green womb of mountain tops,
Time and space stops.
The starlit winter gate beams, weaving many themes.
Daylight dawns refreshing and cool,
And after once again climbing out of the hot pool,
It is time for a hike to search for another gem and jewel.
With air so thin the walk is slow, but up and up I go.
I go to extremes by crossing rushing streams,
Eventually the treasure is uncovered,
For in the field I discovered,
A wild herd of llamas grazing,
And I just stood there them facing.
One got curious and walked up to my side,
My hand reached up and over him did glide,
It was a euphoric highlight and elevated ride,
To have this wild creature by my side.
His chocolate eyes held a steady gaze,
They took me beyond all worldly haze,
Where I could see the reflection of the ONE and same face!
Where we are all coming from the ONE and same base!
The following morning was crisp and clear,
The snowcapped 18,000-foot volcano appeared so near.
Off to the equator line to straighten out the spine.
The dual sun-dial is to the equator area unique,
And carries its own little mystery and mystique.
Standing on the equator is a trip,
Watching the center forces unzip,
Swirling in opposite directions up and down to the Arctic and Antarctic tip.
These are called the Corealis Forces,
Due to the opposite courses they enforce.
But on the equator the flow is straight up and down,
It is enough to put on your forehead a frown,
When you move the water 2 feet to the northern sphere,
And the water runs counter clockwise there.
Then you move the water 2 feet to the southern sphere,
And the water runs clockwise there.
Off to the other side of Andean land,
Where the Cloud Forest have the upper hand.
Bellavista Lodge is a wonderfully vibrant place,
Where bird watchers can with binoculars chase,
According to preferred choice and noteworthy case.
The most spectacular are the hummingbirds,
That swarms around you in herds.
130 species occupy this nation
Ecuador definitely has to them a rare relation.
Many more were the incidents at hand,
While visiting this beautiful and diverse land,
One thing for sure, it is NOT bland.

It was not a new thing to know that microbes have the capacity to survive in extreme temperatures. They can be spotted inside the volcanoes as well as on the mountains having bone-chilling temperature.
However, this was quite surprising to know that microbes are also present in the storm clouds. Researchers were astonished as clouds were at a great distance from the Earth. Athanasios Nenes, an atmospheric chemist working at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said that the topic is of a great importance.
Presence of microbes up in the air can play a vital role in depicting global climate. Lindbergh continued by saying that for now, they are not aware of the fact that how many microbes are present up in the atmosphere.
Nenes said that they have tried to know the same by collecting air samples from approximately 30,000 feet. Samples were collected from both the places that are over land and sea. Their assessment report revealed the presence of a lot of bacteria.
"More than 60 percent of them were actually alive, and they were in an active state that that you could say they should be metabolizing and eating things", said Nenes. Experts said that knowing more about the presence of microbes up in the atmosphere is a key topic these days among researchers.

Cardinal Health Launches New Service To Help Hospitals Expand Reach Of Their Outpatient Pharmacies
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At the annual Midyear Clinical Meeting of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), Cardinal Health will launch a new service that helps hospitals and integrated delivery networks expand the reach of their outpatient pharmacies, while also generating additional revenue and freeing up pharmacist time to drive medication adherence and other quality measures.
Cardinal Health's new Central Fill Service allows hospital outpatient pharmacies to have prescription medications prepared at an off-site location, without needing to add incremental staff. Using the Central Fill model, Cardinal Health pharmacists prepare and 'fill' the medication as prescribed by the physician, ensure that it's properly labeled and verify that the right drug has been prepared at the right dose. The hospital's outpatient pharmacy retains ownership of the prescription and its on-site pharmacy team then performs the final duties associated with dispensing.
This new service is available to all hospitals and integrated delivery networks, but is particularly useful for those that operate multiple outpatient pharmacies, and for those that dispense a large number of outpatient prescriptions. The service is also helpful to those that operate outpatient pharmacies that incentivize employees to fulfill prescriptions at their outpatient pharmacy.
Cardinal Health's Central Fill Service frees up existing outpatient pharmacy staff to focus on patient care activities including follow up with patients after they are discharged. Time saved by Central Fill Services can be reallocated to medication therapy management and other services that help improve medication compliance, patient satisfaction and ultimately impact quality measures like reducing readmissions."Our new Central Fill Service is an excellent resource for hospitals and IDNs that need to expand the capacity of their outpatient pharmacy without increasing their staff or the physical footprint of their outpatient pharmacy," said Mike Brown, vice president of managed services and national practice lead for Cardinal Health's Innovative Delivery Solutions business. "This new service allows hospital outpatient pharmacies to serve more patients, while freeing up pharmacist time to focus on medication reconciliation and other patient care activities. It's a win-win for hospitals and their patients alike." Attendees of the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting, taking place Dec. 8-12, 2013 in Orlando, can learn more about Central Fill Services by visiting the Cardinal Health booth #1931. About Cardinal Health Headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE: CAH) is a $101 billion health care services company that improves the cost-effectiveness of health care. As the business behind health care, Cardinal Health helps pharmacies, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, clinical laboratories and physician offices focus on patient care while reducing costs, enhancing efficiency and improving quality.

Surface Magazine Sold to Quadra Media
Holding company takes full ownership stake in fashion, design title.
Quadra Media has acquired the remaining assets of New York-based Surface magazine, a bimonthly fashion and interior design title.
Quadra—a holding company headed by Nylon owner Don Hellinger and former Berkery Noyes managing director Christopher Shannon—had purchased a 10 percent stake in Surface earlier this year. "Acquiring the remaining stake in Surface was a no-brainer," Shannon told FOLIO:. "We like to have a quick impact financially but this acquisition came about quicker than we expected. Looking at our other properties, the strategic partnership makes a lot of sense."
Quadra also has an investment in New York-based arts and style magazine Tokion, and its popular annual conference, Creativity Now.
As part of the acquisition, Quadra shut down Surface's San Francisco office and made "a couple of layoffs," Shannon said. "The magazine was lean before but we've realized some efficiencies."
Surface co-founders Richard Klein and Riley Johndonnell will remain with the magazine—Klein as publisher and Johndonnell as head of creative.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has rallied his troops after their nightmare display in Bahrain, urging them to "pull together".
Many expected Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button to challenge for the win at the Sakhir circuit, especially after they qualified P2 and P4 respectively, but they ended up scoring just four points between them.
Hamilton finished eighth, but his race was thrown off course very early on as the team's pit stop woes continued. A problem with the left rear meant that his first two stops were considerably slower than those of his main challengers.
It was not the first time that the team had issues with the left rear during pit stops as Button also suffered the same fate in China last week.
Whitmarsh concedes they need to get their act together during pit stops, but also urged the team not to be too hard on the mechanics responsible for the errors.
"We lost a lot of time and places for Lewis [during the stops]," he told BBC Sport.
"More of a concern is generally we weren't quick enough. The frustration gets compounded when you don't perform during the stops. Ultimately, we have got to look at technique and how we do it.
"These guys volunteer to put themselves in the spotlight. There is an enormous amount of stress on them. We changed him for the last stop because he was stressed but it's our job to protect them. Things go wrong and that's life. We need to make sure we pull together."

Research Interests
Drug discovery of new anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective agents as well as the new chemistry that is derived from their syntheses and modifications has been the primary objectives of Dr. Honda's research program.
Dr. Honda was involved in the discovery of anti-cancer drugs based on natural product models over the past two decades in Japan. Amongst several anti-cancer drug candidates that he invented during his pharmaceutical career, 2α-L-arabinopyranosyl-9-hydroxyellipticinium bromide (SUN4599) was evaluated in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors, but failed due to hepatoxicity.
Dr. Honda has been engaged in the development of new anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective agents by modifications of naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoids at Dartmouth College over the past 15 years. Amongst these new semisynthetic triterpenoids, bardoxolone methyl (BARD), which potently activates the cytoprotective Keap1/Nrf2/ antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway, was expected to be the first in class drug for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. In a multi–center, double–blind, placebo–controlled phase 2b clinical trial, patients treated with BARD experienced a significant increase in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), compared with no change in the placebo group. However, the phase 3 studies were halted due to the adverse side effects including mortality.
Mechanism studies suggest that BARD regulates various proteins regarding inflammation and carcinogenesis, including Keap1, IKKβ, and JAK1, to name a few, by reversible Michael addition between the nonenolizable cyanoenone in ring A of BARD and the SH groups of cysteine moieties on these proteins. On the basis of the information that essential pharmacophores are nonenolizable cyanoenones, Dr. Honda designed tricyclic compounds containing nonenolizable cyanoenones which give reversible Michael adduct with a SH group. It has been shown that they are also potent activators of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway. Among such synthetic tricycles, TBE-31 with an ethynyl group shows remarkable features in various in vitro and in vivo bioassays related to inflammation and carcinogenesis, which BARD does not. Thus, TBE-31 is expected to be a first in class therapeutic for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy as a back-up compound of BARD. His research group has already established an improved synthesis of TBE-31, which is suitable for a large scale production at low cost. The toxicological evaluation of TBE-31 has been started in collaboration with Dr. Dinkova-Kostova (University of Dundee) in the United Kingdom.
Novel monocyclic cyanoenones (MCEs), which are derived from rings A and C of TBE-31, display unique and interesting features with respect to reactivity (as Michael acceptors) and biological potency. In a preliminary set of MCEs, one of the most reactive Michael acceptor is MCE-1 but the addition is reversible. For induction of the phase 2 cytoprotective enzyme NQO1 in Hepa 1c1c murine hepatoma cells, MCE-1 demonstrates the highest potency (CD value: 22 nM). This high potency of MCE-1 is really striking because sulforaphane, a Keap1/Nrf2/ARE activator, which is widely used by many research groups worldwide and in many disease models related to inflammation and cancer, has a CD of 200 nM. Currently, Dr. Honda's group is exploring entirely new anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective agents containing MCE-1 as a warhead in collaboration with Dr. James Bliska (Stony Brook University) and Dr. Dale Mierke (Dartmouth College).

But depression isn't a respecter of persons, places, things, or events. It can happen to anyone, at even the most happiest times of life. Have you been there? Are you there now? These are some things that are helping me and maybe they will help you too.
13) Cast Down Your Idols: I came to realize that I had many idols I was holding onto in my life. The idol of perfect. The idol of a perfect body/weight. The idol of pleasing people. Cast down any idols in your life. Depression feeds on idol worship. They suck and devour it and it gives it strength. Cut it off at the root. Cast down this depression's life line!
14) Remember This Is Just A Season: Whether you are experiencing depression for a day, week, month, or several years, in light of eternity, this is just a season of life. Glorify God in it.
I love you! If you are experiencing a time of depression in your life, seek His face! If you have a history of clinical depression, please seek medical help. What I am experiencing is a season of depression; I am no expert on clinical depression.

This is how to use
In order to to submit your request press the "
button. If you want to reset all the fields back to the way they where
before you started entering qualifiers in them, press the
reset" button. (You could try to edit the "Exp.Start"
field above and then press the "Reset" button).
|Setting up output modes
The data is presented in tabular format with special action fields.
How to limit the number of retrieved records?
Right now, there is a default limit of 100 in number of records one can retrieve from the database.
If you are
reaching this limit in your query result, there is more likely other entries which match your
query. Or you will have to modify the limit, or specify your query. Please note that for internal
reasons, there is a hardcoded limit setup to 500 records.
Want more info on each retrieved records?
For each records retrieved from the archive, there is a more link written as M. This allows
the user to retrieve all known information concerning this particular entry independently
of the field selected.
You want to use a full screen mode output?.
There is a selection box on each form wich allows the user to be able to retrieve the
information from each archive in full screen mode instead of the default tabular format.
This is quite usefull when only few records are expected since this mode could generates
a tremendous amount of information.
|What about those preview modes
|Preview Mode
|.mailcap entry
| The CADC preview mode is a very special one. It does allow transmission of a
specially compressed image directly to a special CADC viewer which then, call the necessary
display system. This make possible sequential display without having to start a new instance
of the viewer. Unfortunately, it is available only on SUN platforms (SUSOS and Solaris).
The package includes three executable.
|cadc/x-preview; mddisplay %s
|The GIF preview mode is a simplle way to tranmit an image to a browser. Those images are usually highly compressed and are only 8 bit color, suitable for display to be display on a wide variety of systems. No image analysis is available through this mode. But it is the fastest.
|No action required since most browsers can display GIF files
|The FITS preview mode is a simple fits transmission from the CADC WEB server. It is up to the user to specify the action upon complete recption of the file. The most likely action would be to display the file using popular FITS viewer such as SAOimage. Our FITS image header includes WCS conversion. We strongly recommend using the latest version of SAOimage 1.14 which is capable of displaying RA and DEC from standard FITS images which have the World Coordinate System keywords in their headers.
| application/x-fit; saoimage -fits %s
application/x-fits; saoimage -fits %s
A new button is now showing up when browsing the HST catalogue. It is used to be able to look at the PC preview of all WFPC2 observations when available. Please be warned that it is not always possible to generate a PC preview. Also, because of some limitations of our retrieval system, the button will show up even for non WFPC2 instrument.
|What about the target name
The second mode is using the default archive target name for the search, without resolving it in cooordinates. The research based on this mode are useful only when non astronomical objects are wanted (i.e. observations for the medium depth sky survey)
We do not offer directly object classes search. One have to pass through cross correlation catalogues for this.
|What about those other links
|Link name
|Short description
|Gateway to all other CADC links to other services and archives
|Link to the IRAS HCON images server at CADC
|Query Simbad around the coordinate of this retrieved observation
|HST archive

The battle for conservation cannot be limited to the winning of new conquests. Like liberty itself, conservation must be fought for unceasingly to protect earlier victories.

Date: Mar 20, 2011
The picture shows four eggs, the title says "assorted". Thought I was getting a set of four for that price. Instead, I received the yellow one. The glitter putty looks like a dirty clear. I am very disappointed with this purchase! If I had received the blue or green one, it would have at least looked nice...

Austin Travis County EMS officials say a man is in critical condition after being stung by a swarm of bees in Pflugerville Wednesday morning.
According to crews at the scene, a total of four patients had bee stings.
Timothy Hackney witnessed a massive swarm of bees attacking workers at a business near SH 130 and Rowe Lane.
"I drive down the road to get fuel every morning and pretty much saw a wall of bees," Hackney of Sawcrete Company said.
Hackney realized bees were on the attack when he saw a man who "probably had a thousand bees stuck to him."
The victim was taken to Round Rock hospital, reportedly with 300 hundred stings to his body.
Professional beekeeper Timothy Huddle responds to scenes when emergency personnel need his help.
"They were hanging from that, so I saw this wooden box, lift that cover and that's what I found," Huddle said.
An estimated 150,000 bees called the honeycomb home. According to Huddle, the worker bees cranked out 120 pounds of honey stored in an old filing cabinet.
"That's pretty average. You see all these covered cells. Each one of those covered cells is a baby. On the other side, it's the exact same thing. More covered cells. More babies," Huddle said.
In order to stop the aggressive nature of Wednesday morning's bee swarm, Huddle had to kill the Queen Bee.
"I can actually give them a queen of my own that is more docile and start the hive again," Huddle said.
Heavy spring rains have resulted in an increase in bee activity this year.
In the meantime, the victim is recovering and the bees are busy looking for a new place to start a colony.
Officials say bees are still aggressive and urge drivers to avoid the area near Rowe Lane and FM 685.

The City is in its fourth full year of the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Program. ASR is the process of injecting water into an aquifer for storage during the winter months, and using that same water during the summer months. Because Tigard's daily water demand ranges from 4.8 million gallons a day during the winter season and up to 14.3 million gallons a day during the summer, it is necessary to explore options for handling surges in water demand. Due to the success of ASR in neighboring water systems, Tigard made the decision to explore the concept in an effort to meet the growing needs of Tigard Water Service Area residents.
The program began back in the fall of 2001 with the drilling of the first ASR well (ASR #1) located at the Canterbury Reservoir Site. One year later nearly 97 million gallons had been injected into the aquifer which was recovered later that summer. Just this last year, close to 115 million gallons was injected into the aquifer. Water quality and pump rate testing continue to prove that the aquifer is safely storing the treated water and is able to provide a recovery rate of approximately 1.0 to 1.4 million gallons per day (MGD).
In September 2003 an ASR Program Expansion report was completed which included recommendations for additional ASR wells. The success of ASR #1 prompted Tigard to continue its expansion of the ASR program with the development of a second ASR well (ASR #2).
Construction of ASR #2, located along Bull Mountain Road, is complete. The well is expected to store 110 million gallons (mg) of drinking water in 2006 and 160 mg in 2007.
The benefits of a full-scale ASR program provide the City of Tigard with:
What is ASR?
The process of injecting potable water during winter months into the ground and pumping that same water into the water distribution system to meet summer demands.

Exploring local options for water reuse and groundwater sources
Milestones for ASR Well #2:

When music-industry experts advise fledgling musicians how to achieve success, few probably suggest developing a weird blend of rock, pop and exotic folk music. DeVotchKa has done so anyhow, though, and A Mad & Faithful Telling, which will be spotlighted during a Tuesday, March 18, in-store appearance at Twist & Shout, is the highly enjoyable result.
Because the group stays true to the rudiments of its sound, devoted fans won't be caught off-guard by the stylistic flourishes contained herein: the Eastern European pizzazz of "Comrade Z," the waltz-centric "Blessing in Disguise." Yet even first-time listeners should warm to the likes of "Transliterator," built upon Tom Hagerman's lovely violin playing, Nick Urata's beguilingly woozy vocals and an arrangement that moves effortlessly from an introduction inspired by classical etudes to an aggressively melodramatic middle section and back again.
No sane artist would attempt to create such a hybrid. Thank goodness, then, that DeVotchKa's latest is thoroughly Mad.

Britney sold 574 shares of Coke for a modest profit of $3,200. She held on to 208 shares. As for Pepsi ... it's nowhere to be found in her portfolio. Brit sold a few other random stocks for a profit -- including AT&T and Deere & Co. -- but it wasn't all gravy: she lost $640 on McDonald's and $1,200 on Chipotle. She eats at both places enough that you'd think the stock would be worth more. Overall, Brit netted over $97,000 last year in stock earnings ... not bad, but for her it's chump change (she'll earn more than triple that PER SHOW in Vegas).
