The price would have to come down though.
I thought these were quite dinky. Might be good for stuff like a wireless mouse.
The price would have to come down though.
how about do the opposite of the above, insted of providing usb conncetions with power, connect your usb to comp, then to battery pack to recharge a battery!?
That's how my mobile works. If I connect it via USB to my PC then it'll charge up over the cable.
Sweet.... but... That's a lot of money for one battery!
You could just buy a mouse that has a charger built into the reciever...
I bought my mouse and keyboard with batteries and charger reciever, for $10... And one battery liek that wold cost over $20!
It's a nice idea, but goofy!

Positive Images
to keep a positive attitude
You can find information about positive thinking in different formats: text (books, blogs, web sites, magazines...), audio (mp3, CD), and image (think YouTube videos or positive posters).
As you read, listen to, or watch positive thinking information, you may have realized that you tend to remember better the information delivered in a certain way (for instance, images).
This is because we each have a "preferred", natural way to absorb information.
You can make your learning about positive thinking (or anything, for the matter) much easier if you identify which is your natural way to absorb information and use it.
I am predominantly visual - I absorb information the easiest when I see it. So at times I tried to put the ideas I was learning into some sort of visual caption or positive images, with stick-man drawings.
The result wasn't very visually appealing though...
Then, I took a short course that my friend Deb organized, called Resistance Toys: Clever Distractions Designed to Change Your Mind One Neuropathway at a Time".
Through the course I discovered how I could go beyond and "paint" or "build" my positive reminder, with whatever materials I chose.
So I grabbed my painting brushes and created a few positive images, which I pasted on the walls of my room to keep on inspiring me and reminding me of the path I choose to follow.
Here I'm sharing a few of these positive images with you.
I wish they inspire you to grab your tools (brushes, clay, beads, papier mache, stickers, scrapbooking materials - whatever works for you) and create your own positive visual reminder.
Positive images
"I choose"
This is the first piece of positive images I produced following Deb's course "Resistance Toys: Clever Distractions Designed to Change Your Mind One Neuropathway at a Time", kind of a representation on the line of the tale of the two wolves:
I used a black spiral to represent what the evil wolf means, and a combination of colours to represent what the good wolf means. In the center there is a drawing of me, floating effortlessly towards the colour side.
This piece is a great excellent visual reminder for me to keep on walking towards the light all the time.
This piece helps me to remember that I don't need to struggle. I can choose at any moment the attitude I want to have about any situation or project I may be busy with: I can choose to think it's easy, or I can choose to think it's difficult.
When you tell yourself (and others) that something is difficult, you are creating your very own experience of that something being difficult. Same happens if you think that something is easy.
Thus this positive visual reminder helps me to consciously choose to have it easy in any situation.
"It's not true"
I created this piece as a counter-voice to negative and self-doubting thoughts. Whenever my mind goes down the path of "I can't" I have a quick glance at this poster and remind myself that "It's not true".
"Gracias" is the Spanish word for Thanks. This simple piece, with one large word Gracias and many smaller words which cross the large one, acts as a reminder to be thankful.
This piece represents the energy that we feed ourselves and the energy that we give out. It reminds me that it is necessary to maintain a balance and not only give energy out to others, but also to give energy and care for myself.

SEAMS School Module Theory and Its Applications
- Details
- Published: 10 September 2014
The South East Asian Mathematical Society initiates the SEAMS School of Mathematics as a series of intensive 7-day workshop. The purpose of this school is to provide opportunity for undergraduate as well as master students to have an advanced learning experience in mathematics, and to introduce a research-based learning.
The Algebra Research Group ITB and Himpunan Peminat Aljabar (HPA) will organize :
The SEAMS School : Module Theory and Its Applications
Date and Location :
Objectives of the School
- To introduce students to the fundamental theories and research in Module Theory and and its applications in coding theory;
- To provide young researchers with sufficient knowledge and background to start their research in Module Theory.
- To facilitate contacts between mathematicians working in these areas and the students coming to the School.
The School will introduce students to module theory and its applications. The school will stimulate a good research atmosphere in Indonesia in particular. Such a school can also stimulate an improvement of the quality of our undergraduate and master programs. This is because of the involvement of undergraduate and master students in this school will be high. This school facilitates an opportunity to meet outstanding speakers/researchers from other countries. This opportunity is very rare and expensive to happen in Indonesia. This opportunity is very likely to induce further and new directions of research. Several natural new linkages and cooperation will occur.
The school will focus on the following courses :
- An Introduction to Module Theory, Speakers : Sri Wahyuni, Irawati
- Primeness in Module Category, Speakers : Nguyen Van Sanh, Indah Emilia Wijayanti
- Module Representations, Speakers : Intan Muchtadi, Dellavitha Nasution

Master of LaketownTalk1
this wiki
Master of Laketown
Biographical information
Physical description
The Master of Lake-Town or The Master was the original leader of Laketown, that is, Esgaroth, when Bilbo Baggins and his companions arrived. He is described as being greedy, but not undeserving of his position in terms of intelligence and charisma. In the book, he is portrayed as a close companion to Bard, the captain of the town archers, allowing him to remain in Laketown while the Lakemen recovered from their ordeal with Smaug.
In The Hobbit he is not given an actual name.
The Master of Laketown ruled from 2920 to 2941 of the Third Age and he would have been approximately thirty years old when he began leadership. This would make him fifty years old at the time of the Battle of the Five Armies and The Quest of Erebor, as these events both occurred in the year 2941. The Master's rule in Laketown was rather amicable, and therefore under his dominion the Men of the Long Lake traded peaceably with the Elves of Mirkwood, creating a steady trade that was kept until 2941, when Thorin and his friends came to wrest dominion of the Lonely Mountain and its riches from Smaug, who had arrived 120 years before the Master's rule, in the year TA 2770.
When the Dwarves arrived, the Master of Laketown greeted them generously, but only to keep public spirits up.[1] After the destruction of Laketown and the slaying of the dragon by Bard, the townspeople denounced the Master as a coward and called for Bard's ascension as King. The Master, who was an adroit politician, shifted blame for Laketown's destruction to Thorin and the Dwarves, who had roused the dragon in the first place. This succeeded in turning the townspeople's ire towards the Dwarves. Bard took the lead in rebuilding the remains of the town and gathering supplies for the coming winter, but was careful to act in the Master's name, so as not to usurp the latter's authority.[2]
After the Battle of Five Armies, Bard became King of Dale, but gave a generous portion of his share of the Lonely Mountain's treasure (received from Dain II Ironfoot) to the Master, for the re-building of Laketown. Unfortunately, the Master succumbed to greed and fled Laketown with most of the gold, and later died of starvation in the wastes, after being deserted by his companions.[3] He is therefore described as weak, because he is easily overcome by the lust of the treasure Smaug held, and by the dragon-spell.
Taking great pride in his power and position, the Master cares only for his own prosperity and gain. His pompous attire manifests as an outward expression of his greed, displaying his wealth for all to see. Harbouring a powerful sense of his own self-importance, the Master dresses his guards in regalia every bit as pretentious as his own. Despite his democratically held position, the Master ruthlessly suppresses all challenges to his authority.
In line with the book, the Master is shown to have a good head for business, a talent expressed in the films through the toll gates he has constructed, and the taxes he has levied. He also displays a keen political mind befitting someone of his position, recognising the arrival of the Dwarves as a way of bolstering his own failing popularity.
Portrayal in adaptationsEdit
The Hobbit film trilogyEdit
In Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit, the Master is played by English actor Stephen Fry. In the films, he takes on a more directly antagonistic role, presented as a greedy and corrupt public official, whose primary concern rests with retaining his own power and position. He shows little interest in Laketown's destitute state, instead turning his attention to the acquisition of tolls and taxes.
Responding to growing civil unrest concerning his leadership, and the threat of an election, the Master uses a network of informants throughout the city to spy on Bard, believing him responsible for the growing threat to his authority.
When Thorin and Company are arrested for stealing weapons from the Laketown armoury, the Master is quick to label them enemies of the state. However, the revelation of Thorin's royal linage and his promise of a share in the riches of the Lonely Mountain, persuades the Master to welcome the Dwarves, seeing the situation as a chance not only to restore his ailing popularity, but also as a way of increasing his own wealth. Providing the Dwarves with weapons and equipment the Master bids them farewell, trusting to their gratitude upon the successful completion of their quest.
Later, as Bard attempts to reach the windlance ballista atop the Laketown Town Hall, guards sent by the Master arrest him under fabricated charges. Bard manages to escape, only to be knocked unconscious by the Master himself, who subsequently has him incarcerated. His every whim is attended to by his personal assistant and councillor Alfrid, who performs tasks that the Master deems beneath himself, such as emptying his chamber pot.
When Smaug is burning Laketown, the Master, Alfrid, Braga and some guards get a lot of gold and try to escape Laketown with the gold, Alfrid informs the master that they have to threw something heavy out of the boat, The Master threw Alfrid in the lake. Bard kills Smaug with a Black Arrow and the dead body of Smaug falls in the Master's boat killing him, Braga and the guards.
In the play adaptation of The Hobbit by Edward Mast, the Master of Laketown is named Maxwell, though this is not considered canon.
The Master's affliction with the medical condition Gout as seen in the films is likely a reference to the condition's historic name – "rich man's disease", a reference to the Master's own financial position.

NIght Watch: The sights and sounds of the Mazda 787B
The Mazda 787B's victory at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans represents the only win for a Japanese manufacturer at the fabled endurance race, and thanks to the car's 2.6-liter R26B 4-rotor powerplant, it's also the only time a car has done so with a non-piston engine. In addition to being an important car because of what it accomplished for Mazda, it also happens to be one of the most fantastic-sounding racing cars ever.
In the video we've embedded after the jump, you'll see Kenichi Tanabe, editor of Japan's Car Graphic magazine, put the Le mans-winning #55 car through its paces at Mazda's Miyoshi Proving Ground in Hiroshima. The footage is great, but it's the audio that'll give you goosebumps. Thankfully, the only soundtrack is the wail of the R26B. No commenters yapping. No stupid music. Just the car. It's bliss.
If you'll excuse us, we have to go play Gran Turismo 4 now.

Summary: Not since his runaway bestseller,The Cardinal Sins, has Father Andrew Greeley written such a searing and topical novel about the state of the Catholic Church.
The Priestly Sinstells the story of Father Herman Hoffman, a gifted and innocent young man from the distant prairies of the Great Plains. In the summer of his first parish appointment, Hoffman is swept up in the Crisis after witnessing child abuse in the parish rectory. He tells the pastor, the father ...show more of the victim, and the local police but is rebuffed by the archbishop. Soon he is vilified for denouncing a priest who has been ''cleared'' by the police and learns the harsh fate of the whistleblower in the contemporary Catholic church: he is locked up in a mental-health center and then sent into exile to do graduate study.
In Chicago to study immigrant history, he encounters the local ''Vicar for Extern Priests,'' the legendary monsignor Blackie Ryan, who helps him regain his confidence. Hoffman returns home to demand a parish of his own from the archbishop. Reluctantly, the church hierarchy assigns him to a dying parish, but by his zeal and charm he revives the local church. His brief idyll is shattered by a subpoena to testify in a court hearing. If he speaks, he will have to take on the ''downtown'' establishment that is determined to destroy him and many of his fellow priests who want to be rid of this painful reminder of a sinful past. He faces exile not only from his parish but from the priesthood itself.
Written from the author's fifty years of experience as a priest,The Priestly Sinswill be criticized by some but embraced by most for this all-too-candid story of all-too-human priests.The Priestly Sinsis Father Greeley's most electrifying novel in three decades.

Plenty To Get Owned By Al Gore?
Portfolio.com reports:
Al Gore's getting into the magazine business. Sources familiar with the former vice president's plans say he is set to announce the acquisition of a stake in Plenty, a four-year-old title about environmentally-conscious living. As it happens, Gore — who already has a toe in the media business through his TV network, Current — is on the cover of the current issue.
Other sources deny he's going to purchase the magazine.
Still it's better than Bob Dole shilling for Viagra after he lost the election.

Freewheeling and fabulous." —The Times (London) Strange as it may seem, the gray, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairy tale. It was built on the twentieth-century magic called "the planned economy," which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. Red Plenty is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche. It's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending. Red Plenty is history, it's fiction, it's as ambitious as Sputnik, as uncompromising as an Aeroflot flight attendant, and as different from what you were expecting as a glass of Soviet champagne.

Spinal metastasis in thyroid cancer

Thyroid carcinoma generally responds well to treatment and spinal metastasis is an uncommon feature. Many studies have looked at the management of spinal metastasis and proposed treatments, plans and algorithms. These range from well-established methods to potentially novel alternatives including bisphosphonates and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, amongst others.
The purposes of this systematic review of the literature are twofold. Firstly we sought to analyse the proposed management options in the literature. Then, secondly, we endeavoured to make recommendations that might improve the prognosis of patients with spinal metastasis from thyroid carcinomas.
We conducted an extensive electronic literature review regarding the management of spinal metastasis of thyroid cancer.
We found that there is a tangible lack of studies specifically analysing the management of spinal metastasis in thyroid cancer. Our results show that there are palliative and curative options in the management of spinal metastasis, in the forms of radioiodine ablation, surgery, selective embolisation, bisphosphonates and more recently the VEGF receptor targets.
The management of spinal metastasis from thyroid cancer should be multi-disciplinary. There is an absence; it seems, of a definitive protocol for treatment. Research shows increased survival with 131I avidity and complete bone metastasis resection. Early detection and treatment therefore are crucial. Studies suggest in those patients below the age of 45 years that treatment should be aggressive, and aim for cure. In those patients in whom curative treatment is not an option, palliative treatments are available.

Invisalign aligns teeth with a series of clear, removable trays made to fit each client's mouth structure. To prepare teeth for the see-through straightening, an experienced dentist conducts an initial Invisalign exam, checking the strength and health of teeth without playing a "Guess Your Tooth Strength and Health" carnival game. The canine consultation includes a set of x-rays and impressions to determine the severity of spacing and alignment issues. Those choosing to proceed with the mouth-formatting service are fitted for the Invisalign removable trays and are given a $1,000 discount off the total cost of the service (usually around $3,500–$6,000).
