This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (October 2007) |
The First Voyage - Jasper Morello and the Lost Airship
The film opens in the city of Gothia, a smoky industrial metropolis where steam-powered dirigibles are the primary mode of transportation, and where a terrible flesh-eating plague is decimating the population. The protagonist, royal navigator Jasper Morello (Joel Edgerton), is deployed by the government to distribute mobile weather beacons along the route of his next voyage. He has difficulty concentrating on the task, however, as he is still stricken with guilt over the recent death of one of his crewmembers which was caused by a mistake in his calculations, and fears for the safety of his wife who remains at home amidst the plague. The dirigible, the Resolution, and its crew is joined by another passenger, the eccentric Dr. Belgon (Helmut Bakaitis), a "controversial biologist" searching for a cure for the plague because the airmen rarely contract it.
Soon after taking off, the Resolution is caught up in a storm and wrecked in a collision with an abandoned vessel. The crew then prepares to continue on their way in the new ship. As Jasper is powering up the navigational equipment, he learns through a transmission that his wife Amelia, whom he left at home, has contracted the plague, and in a panic, tries to turn the ship around. The others are forced to wrestle him into submission, and he is sedated by Dr. Belgon.
As the voyage continues, a crewmember is infected by the plague. The captain decides to turn around and head home, but they encounter a seemingly deserted levitating island. While exploring the island, Jasper is attacked by a large bug-like creature, whom they manage to kill, despite Dr. Belgon's protests, who wanted to capture the specimen alive. Upon eating the remains of the monster, the crew notices that the boiled blood of the creature cures their sick crewmember. Belgon insists on bringing back some cocoons of the creature to Gothia, in order to establish a breeding colony to cure the citizens.
The cocoons are brought aboard the ship. After Jasper discovers that one of them has hatched, Dr. Belgon reveals to him that he discovered that the creature lives on human blood, and that the other creatures have died from starvation. Belgon explains that he has been feeding the remaining creature with his own blood, as it is the last chance they have. Jasper insists to tell the Captain, but Belgon convinces him that if the crew gets to know, they'll kill the creature and with it, the cure for Jasper's wife. The next day, a crewmember goes missing. The crew concludes that he fell overboard and mourn him. As another member goes missing, Jasper becomes suspicious and looks into the creature's room, where he finds the monster devouring the missing man. He is then ambushed and sedated by Dr. Belgon.
He wakes up chained to the steering wheel of the ship. Belgon, obsessed with his quest, tells him that he sedated the rest of the crew and plans to feed them to the creature, because he sees this as the only way to retain it. He keeps Jasper alive to deliver the ship home. Jasper, without a choice, guides the ship towards home. However, as the days continue and home is almost near, Jasper unexpectedly rams the ship into a nearby iceberg. Belgon falls overboard, but grabs the ledge, and begs Jasper to save him. Jasper, however, is still chained to the deck and unable to reach him. Dr. Belgon is crushed when the side of the ship collides with the iceberg.
The film ends with Jasper, left alone, attaching a blood-sucking machine to his arm to feed the last creature. Knowing that he may not survive, prior to reaching home, Jasper reassures his wife that he will be, with "The great company of souls, riding the borealis to eternity" (a reference to his previous observation, of such a sight). "Perhaps," he muses, "they will require a navigator".

- Captain Otto H. Griswald - Aeronaut Captain, 7th Class.
A known enthusiast for keel hauling within the service until the ban of said disciplines by the Authority board in 1271. An aggravatated case of Ruther's Venereal disease left an already disagreeable disposition in a sorry state. His success though in finding difficult routes through the Goltesh Canyons and the Laurenthial Abyss has made Griswald a valued captain of the service.[1]
- Mr. Jasper Morello - Navigator, 3rd Royal Cartographers, Difference Engine Operator 2nd Class
Morello's career was in some doubt after the collision at Weather Station 2C41 in the Lawrencian quarter, and the subsequent loss of a crew member. Re-instated to the Resolution, after pressure was applied by his wife, Mrs Amelia Morello [surviving daughter of Rear Admiral Balthazar Fortinbras of the Royal Navy] and her society connections. Protest by Captain Griswald has been duly noted.[1]
- Engineer Kemp - First Engineer of the Ironclad RES
Found not guilty of rape and debauchery charges.[1]
- Linesman Kovacs
A Lawrencian émigré to Gothia in the fall of 1272, Kovacs first worked in the Gothian docks where his brute strength and abilities distinguished him. Lower Lawrencia Flatturgle Hurling Champion 1259 & 1261.[1]
- Mr. Emile LeBrun - The ship's cook.
Graduated Cartographers Culinary Arts Program, 15th class. Competent.[1]
- Dr Claude Belgon - Royal Academy Member, Electrical Aerologist 12th Class, Doctorate of Cloud Biology. KP, RTS, q-23P.g.k.o.
A renowned biologist from the Academy. Only member of the Resolution crew member not of the service. Highly controversial in relation to his views on the Sickness and his many Altitude experiments on animals and humans. His pedestrian work on the study of Ants have been well documented in the Royal Academy Journal, Insectia Scrinium. Not born to wealth as some of his colleagues at the Academy, Belgon rose through the ranks of Academia quickly with the accidental poisoning of the Magister of Insectia Studies at the Academy. Declared bankrupt January 1275.[1]
- Amelia Morello - Jasper's wife.
A sweet and apparently well-off woman, Amelia cares for those affected by the Plague until she too becomes afflicted.
Animation style[edit]
The short films are set in a world styled after mid-Victorian England with Steampunk style, iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, where giant mechanical airships are the main mode of transport. The characters are animated in the style of Wayang (Indonesian shadow puppets) best described as silhouettes. The visual style of the characters is similar to that used by the 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed (one of the oldest-surviving animated feature films).
The animation production style was essentially 'anymation', using anything that served the purpose. Scenes featuring characters were composed out of a variety of materials, including card cut-outs which were then scanned and manipulated in Adobe Photoshop, and also various found objects. The backgrounds are actually 2D, consisting of many layers to simulate 3D. These background layers were later selectively blurred in the compositing application, to simulate distant views. Certain sequences (notably those featuring airships) are entirely computer-rendered 3D scenes using an assemblage of parts from a variety of commercial 3D models of vehicles and ships in the Despona 3DS Max series, textured and animated using 3DS Max. The final product consists of all of these elements brought together using the compositing program Combustion (software). Combustion added the particle effects for smoke and similar, while cloud layers in certain scenes were rendered using Maya.

Jasper Morello was developed and produced in association with the Australian Film Commission; developed and produced with the assistance of Film Victoria and produced in association with SBS Independent.

Georgetown Accelerated BSN hopefuls -- fall 2013 - page 4
Hey -- anyone else applying to GU Fall of 2013? :)... Read More
0Feb 14, '13 by BRE5013Quote from nickrigaWhat kind of healthcare experience do people have here? Any LPNs, EMTs, or CNAs? I'm volunteering at a hospital right now, but I'm looking at a couple different "hands-on" patient care opportunities.
I haven't had any direct healthcare experience in say, a hospital, so I didn't really feel like I could add anything under that section of the application considering the way they defined it. I did a full time internship doing recreational therapy in an assisted living facility for a semester. I also worked for about a year as an in-home caregiver and got A LOT of hands on interaction at that job so I'm hoping those two experiences help! -
0Feb 17, '13 by atanasAhoy everyone! Thought I would throw in my two cents since my application materials are finally all in place. I've worked as a home health aide and CNA forever. I totally recommend finding casual employment as an aide in a hospital--it's grueling, but it doesn't require much training and you can learn a ton about the nitty gritty of nursing (when my coworkers found out I was finally applying, they asked why on earth I'd go into nursing after all I've seen). Good luck to everyone!
0Feb 21, '13 by BRE5013Has anyone heard any additional information from Georgetown since the initial e-mail saying they received your application? On the application guide, it said that they would be sending out information on the WHC Scholar application in mid February but I haven't heard anything else from them...
0Feb 27, '13 by BRE5013Mine had to have just been posted because I've been checking it pretty frequently so I'm sure they'll have yours done soon too. Also, I e-mailed admissions asking about when we'd be getting the information on the WHC scholars program so I'll let everyone know if I hear back!
0Mar 2, '13 by LeftAtrium82I checked their site and the important deadline section mentions that we don't hear back until early April. Dang, so far away!!

(Throughout the season, I'll periodically be re-purposing relevant columns I put together in the past, given that there's only so many ways I can describe specific events in the life of a hockey player. In 2010 I wrote the below post on how players prepare themselves for games on back-to-back days for The Hockey News. In a shortened season, taking care of yourself is more important than ever. )
Most hockey players are aware of the phenomenon that is the inability to sleep after a game. The only thing different in rec leagues is that there's usually one or 30 more cans of beer left in the dressing room.
For professionals, back-to-back games are common and getting a decent night's sleep can be essential to playing well the second night. Since you play in less than 24 hours, things like sleeping pills and alcohol aren't exactly the greatest idea. You're forced to just deal with it as best you can, which usually means staring at the ceiling and re-hashing the wide open net you missed in the first period.
A light spin on the bike, a big meal and maybe a single beer are usually a decent start towards being ready to sleep – still, it's going to take until well after one in the morning for those things to kick in. Because of that reality, you have to be sure to take extra care of the other factors that affect whether you feel fresh or not.
The light spin on the bike, while great for unwinding after the game, also provides a nice flush of lactic acid so your legs don't feel like cement the next day. If you're really hardcore, you can sit in the 50-degree Farenheit (or below) cold tub for eight-to-12 minutes, which, while painful, is incredibly effective (it's not so good for helping you fall asleep, however).
Most high-level pro teams will have a hot tub as well, so players have the option to do the contrast between hot and cold tubs. That's another solid way to help your legs feel light on Day Two.
From wake-up call to puck drop, it's all about resetting your body. You have to start with a solid breakfast, get to the rink early and take it from the top.
If you need to spend time with the trainers (by mid-season, most guys do), you want to arrive even earlier – it's one of the best parts of being a hockey player. You can pour yourself a nice cup of coffee, get hooked up to the stimulation machine – or whatever it is that needs tending to – and read the paper. You can stretch, you can chat… I'd say the morning after a win when you play a game that night is the most fun and social part of being a hockey player.
That morning skate is usually an absolute breeze, but you can't go through the motions if you hope to feel good that night. You need to push yourself at least hard enough to get a good sweat going and to shake those legs out.
I'd say this is one of the biggest differences between athletes and non-athletes – as a hockey player, I learned you don't necessarily need more rest to feel energetic. Sure, you don't want to be lacking sleep, but in order to feel fresher, sometimes you have to go harder.
The pre-game meal that day isn't as important – you basically play on what you ate the night before (which makes your post-game meal choice key), so it's a decent day to mix up the pasta/chicken monotony. I preferred to jam a few slices of pizza down my gullet.
After a decent, not-too-long nap, you should be ready to go. It's the hardest day to make yourself get out of bed from a nap, given the previous night's sleep wasn't all that great, but you have to make yourself do it.
By the time you have a cool wake-up shower and put that suit on, you're usually feeling brand new – sometimes even better than the night before.
If you're committed and taking preparation seriously, there's no reason you shouldn't feel as good as you did on Night One.
Devoting your entire day to feeling as fresh as possible at a certain time is a crazy thing, but it's healthy and a great part of the job. Really, anytime your routine involves meals, naps and hockey, it's kind of tough to complain.

After finding some guy passed out drunk in her closet this week, one Knox, County, Tennessee, woman will never open a closet door the same way again.
There are nights when a guy just can't get lucky. For Tennessean Lonnie Hutton, 49, that unlucky night occurred on May 16, 2014. Hutton entered the Boro Bar and Grill in Murfreesboro, and then reportedly dropped his trousers, exposing his genitals, and proceeded to have sex with the ATM machine.
Soon after the discovery of Matthew Winkler's murder his wife, Mary Winkler, was accused of shooting him at point-blank range in the back. Though prosecutors argued that he had caught her kiting checks, she would argue that he had abused her emotionally and sexually.
Did James Earl Ray kill Dr. King on April 4, 1968, and was the assassination the culmination of a conspiracy to silence the leader of America's non-violent civil rights and anti-war movement? Conspiracy theories abound.
Authorities in Maury County, Tennessee, are still trying to identify the remains of a Jane Doe found by hunters on February 14, 1975. Police think she was killed in the fall of 1974, and dumped about 2 miles from Highway 99 and Joe Brown Road. They have never gotten any leads in the case.
Police have named Zachary Adams as a suspect in the case of missing Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo, abducted from her family home one morning in April 2011. No trace of Bobo was ever found, except a pool of blood next her her car in the car port.
Whoever these unknown perpetrators are, police say there is no evidence that they are adolescent girls who simply found an empty house to hang-out in for Thanksgiving. There is also no evidence that the perpetrators were braiding each other's hair at the time, and talking about boys.
This short documentary film tells the horrific tale of how Knoxville couple Channon and Christopher were abducted, brutally tortured and finally murdered by three men and one woman.
Somboon Wu was working at his family's Nashville, Tennessee, store, the Interasian Market and Deli, when an unidentified man walked in a handed him an envelope containing $400 and a note.
Nashville, Tennessee, man William "Billy" Cantrell, 28, may have though he found the mother lode after he allegedly burgled a neighbor's home last week, taking a game controller and a box with a bag containing a white powdery substance that turns wasn't cocaine.

There's no other word to describe the food than 'orgasmic.' I've taken multiple friends and they couldn't get enough of it. The ambiance is phenomenal. It almost feels like you're experiencing it right in Uruguay! Fun & vibrant during the day, while lively and dimly-lit at night, it is honestly just incredible. The empanadas are scrumptious, not to mention the chimichurri sauce that usually comes on the side. I've tried their chivito, various gnocchis, homemade ravioli, and even different desserts. There's just nothing quite like it. I always recommend it to friends, and will continue to do so, as long as the service stays impeccable and the food delicious.

Octopus casserole is a must! Lima beans were a buttery-soft goodness. Flank steak were generous and cooked perfectly. I requested, medium rare. The dessert, flan, was rich and dreamy.

Love the menu, love the people, atmosphere. But chef, go easy on the salt- its been slowly getting out of hand. Especially the pasta dishes are getting really really salty.

Went there last night and I must admit that I had an amazing dinner experience. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was quaint and very homey. The food was pretty good the only thing is that it might be too rich... The croston con chorizo was a a bit much to take in as a single plate, but as a shared plate it was good. My Milanesa de pollo however was amazing! The Dijon mustard and fried sweet potatoes were such a great accompaniment to the chicken. It wasn't greasy like other places like to do it. The dessert of the night was this passion fruit coconut pie that was light and perfect ending to dinner. I will e definitely be going back this spring/summer.

Good food and excellent service.
Posted by WBurger on 09/18/2010
It's one of those "reluctant to tell cuz I dont want it to be too popular" reviews. The place is small, yet perfect. Vibe is Santa fe-south American-western in a modern designy sorta way that makes you feel like you're at a cool friends ranch in Columbia and you don't want to leave cuz you're having such a great time. Mussels-a delicious mound at $9 bucks, empanadas are scrumptious, best is the cheese. Try a bit if everything- you can't go wrong. Or you'll at least eat well while tasting. Go. Make me regret telling you. Oh, bring a bottle of wine while it's byob.
Posted by Sonia on 09/15/2010
Went with a few friends on a weekday for dinner and we got a table in the patio since the inside of the Restaurant was super hot with no AC. I had the Skirt steak which was a big portion but not a great flavor for a steak. The Tomatoes salad that my friend order was a small plate with just a few pieces of different tasteless Tomatoes. My other friend got Chevito Complete which was greasy big dish and not well presented. We also got the empanadas which were nice but it was a little too pricey for three small ones. We liked the BYOB but didn't understand how they didn't have any wine glasses and our bottle was poured into a water jar and we used regular white juice cup to drink the wine.The patio had a very romantic feel to it which was decorated with candles light. Overall it was a OK experience with good service but it was nothing special that would make me want to go back for a second time.

Johnson will add final two charities to 'Helmet of Hope'
- Aug 15, 2008
- 48 Team
BROOKLYN, Mich. (Aug. 15, 2008)—This weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Jimmie Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet, will unveil the final two charities that will appear on his "Helmet of Hope."
Johnson will be wearing the helmet during the Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., on Aug. 31.
Ten of the total 12 charities have been named so far. To help Chandra and Jimmie Johnson make the difficult decision of picking organizations, media and fans submitted charities they felt worthy of placement on the special helmet. One of the final two logos was decided by XM Radio listeners who called into Claire B. Lang's show this week.
The 10 charities selected so far include: Monarch (Albemarle, N.C.), Breakthrough Manchester (Manchester, N.H.), STEP, Inc. (Rocky Mount, Va.), The American Diabetes Society (Alexandria, Va.), The Children's Fund for Glycogen Storage Disease (Cheshire, Conn.), the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (Charlotte, N.C.), Alex's Lemonade Stand (Wynnewood, Pa.), the Nationwide Foundation (Columbus, Ohio) and Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (Exton, Pa.).
The San Diego Habitat for Humanity logo also will be featured because it is the beneficiary of the 2008 Jimmie Johnson Foundation Annual Golf Tournament, which takes place the same weekend Johnson will sport the "Helmet of Hope."

Numerous General Managers would state that a league's trade deadline is a great way to spark new life into their clubs. Some of the NHL's brightest stars have been part of blockbuster deadline deals in recent years. Yet, to the chagrin of the fans, the Detroit Red Wings have watched the deadline deals just pass them by. The usual reason for this has been the notion that Red Wings GM Kenny Holland likes to pinch the dollars right up to the salary cap the NHL imposes annually. This season has been unlike the most recent others. Holland was able to balance a budget during the offseason that left a substantial amount of cap room ($5.5+ million dollars) for the Red Wings to acquire a deadline piece. A mostly injury free season (knock on wood) and superb offensive contribution has made the message transparent. The Red Wings do not need to add another piece to the already formidable puzzle.
As a sports team, building a winner starts from front office all the way to the on-ice product. The Red Wings are extremely fortunate to have an owner like Mike & Marian Ilitch to provide a winning culture to Hockeytown. This current group of players have managed to earn 69 points and gain the best record currently in the Central Division. The defensive lapses of yesteryear have been removed this season, leading to a +45 goal differential in the NHL. This ranks 2nd only behind the Boston Bruins (+70). Crucial playmakers like Valtteri Filppula (15 G, 25 A, 18.3 Shot %), linemate Jiri Hudler (16G, 17A, 22.2 Shot %), and newcomer Ian White (24 PTS, +28) have elevated the team's play and rapport. The Red Wings are also extremely hard to beat at home this season which is seen in their current 17 -game home winning streak. If the Red Wings do decide to add a prime new piece to the roster, there is an abundance of quality players available.
Another defensive option would be Minnesota's Marek Zidlicky. The 34-year-old Czech native is reminiscent in his play of current Wing Brad Stuart with his reserved personality and great defensive instincts. The Red Wings have also been clamoring for another right handed shooting player, and Zidlicky fills this need. He is disgruntled over his current playing time in Minnesota, but a change of scenery for Zidlicky would be monumental in his quest to become a Stanley Cup Champion.
A slew of forwards are also available and on the Red Wings' radar. Guys like Tuomo Ruutu, Ales Hemsky, and Ryan Smyth might be viable options for the Red Wings moving on. Ruutu might be the best option both fiscally and productively for the Wings. He has played on all four lines this season in Carolina, racking up 27 points and 40 PIM in 53 games.
This kind of versatility paired up with his young age (28) and his European descent would make the transition to the Red Wings an easy one. What the Hurricanes might ask for in return though, could devestate the progress the Red Wings have built already in their youth. Thus, trading for a guy like Ruutu might not be worth the pieces the Wings give up.
With the Red Wings currently on a Western Canada road trip, we will have to wait and see if a deal is made before landing back at the Joe. The Red Wings have comfortably placed themselves in a position to where a move is not needed to win the Cup. If Holland decides to call around for the services of other players, it will enhance the team's play. But with a youth movement in place and an even distribution of goals and overall play, the Red Wings are best suited to watch the rest of the League fight for this year's coveted deadline players. The NHL Trade Deadline is February 27th, 3pm EST.

"Protecting Information Systems from Insider Threats - Concepts and Issues"
Elisa Bertino
Keynote abstract
Past research on information security has focused on protecting valuable resources from attacks by outsiders. However, statistics show that a large amount of security and privacy breaches are due to insider attacks. Protection from insider threats is challenging because insiders may have access to many sensitive resources and high-privileged system accounts. Suitable approaches need to combine several security techniques, like fine-grained access control, stronger authentication protocols, integrated digital identity management, intrusion detection, with techniques from areas like information integration, machine learning, and risk assessment. In this talk, after an introduction to the problem of insider threats, we will present recent work addressing the problem of anomaly detection and response policies for database management systems and then discuss open research issues, by emphasizing the role of techniques from the area of information integration.

I went with my instincts, though, and only used 1/3 cup sugar and did not salt the chicken after frying - it was plenty salty. like other reviewers, I also had a lot of left over sauce and will cut the recipe in half next time. Served with white rice and stir-fried peppers, onions, and eggplant."""

Armstrong Commemorative Broadcast Scheduled
Alpine, NJ - Apr 11, 2005 - In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Major E.H. Armstrong's first public demonstration of wide band frequency modulation, Steve Hemphill, owner of Solid Electronics Laboratories, and Charles Sackermann Jr., the CEO of CSC Management, who is the owner of the Alpine Tower in Alpine, N.J., will transmit a commemorative FM broadcast from the Alpine Tower site on June 11 and 12, 2005.
The pair has secured Special Temporary Authority from the FCC to conduct the broadcast on Major Armstrong's original FM frequency of 42.8MHz under experimental call sign WA2XMN.
The broadcast program material will consist of David Ossman's dramatic production of Empire of the Air, which is based on the book by Tom Lewis. Broadcast plans also include excerpts from a 1941 test broadcast between member stations of the original New England Yankee Network, featuring voice recordings of Major Armstrong himself, Paul deMars (Yankee Network chief engineer) and others.
There will also be a rebroadcast of the final sign off of Major Armstrong's pioneer FM station W2XMN/KE2XCC, which went dark on Feb. 25, 1954, after Major Armstrong's death. A streaming Webcast of the commemorative broadcast is also planned.

Digital Audio Services Expected to Boom
Mar 21, 2005 - Forrester Research released its study titled The Future Of Digital Audio, which examined the various forms of audio entertainment options available to consumers. In the report, Forrester notes that new digital audio services such as satellite radio, Internet radio, IBOC, podcasting and subscription and data service business models are changing the way consumers listen to radio. Terrestrial, Internet, satellite and podcasting radio are expected to grow steadily, and by 2010, 20.1 million households will listen to satellite radio and 12.3 million households will synchronize podcasts to their media players.
The report notes that consumer acceptance of HD Radio, Ibiquity's IBOC technology, will lag the other forms initially, but it will pick up closer to the end of this decade, reaching 9.7 million U.S. households by 2010.
Broadcast Electronics Starts Training for Consulting Engineers
Quincy, IL - Apr 13, 2005 - Broadcast Electronics will begin a series of engineering sessions specifically for consulting engineers starting June 1 at the Wyndham City Center hotel in Washington, DC. The company will introduce its Learn and Earn with BE educational series by offering an insider's look at two topics foremost on the consulting engineer's radar screen:

WGUC-FM Tests Neural Audio Surround Sound Technology
Cincinnati - Apr 12, 2005 - As part of its ongoing testing of surround sound technologies, WGUC-FM in Cincinnati has broadcast a previously recorded and produced performance of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra on March 20, 2005, using Neural Audio's digital audio technologies.
After testing Neural Audio's Neustar 5225 two-dimensional downmixer and Neural's SEE (Spatial Environment Engine) rendering system, Don Danko, WGUC vice resident of engineering noted that the performance of the Neural surround technology met or exceeded all of the station's criteria.
Alex Kosiorek, audio recording and mastering engineer of WGUC's Corbett Studio Audio Recording and Production facility said, "I am particularly pleased with the stereo downmix as compared to the original stereo mix. With minimal adjustments, the accuracy of the surround sound recording was faithfully reproduced."
WGUC spent two days at Neural Audio headquarters in Kirkland, WA, studying the surround technology in stereo and 5.1 listening rooms. WGUC and Corbett Studio original content was used in the review process. The station's review requirements included:
The Neural 5225 2D downmix system is scaleable for backward and forward compatibility allowing analog, digital, lossy, linear, stereo and 5.1 to co-exist in the existing broadcast environment. Audio is encoded with a watermarking to provide compatibility with existing 2.0 equipment.

Every morning, think of five things you are grateful for and thank God for the good in your life.
"Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
Family, dogs, green grass, blue sky, friends, sun, chirping birds, job, spouse, comfy shoes, a soft pillow, coffee, chocolate, smiles, music, art, books, evergreen trees, irises, fresh air, horses, friends…
These are some of the things I'm grateful for, Lord, and Your creative hand provided them all. Even though I may have money troubles, physical ailments, rebellious children or myriad other complaints, I still choose to give thanks to you.
An attitude of gratitude is a decision I make each morning—even on the days when I have difficulty thinking of a single thing I'm thankful for. A baby's laugh, a purring kitten, a friendly hug…I look until I find. And I give thanks.
Faith Step: Think of five things you are grateful for and concentrate on those today. Praise God for them!

Seabourn Sojourn Cruise Review by Jalex63: First Seabourn Cruise
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Seabourn Sojourn Eastern Caribbean Cruises
First Seabourn Cruise
Just returned from our first Seabourn cruise and must say that it was very nice compared to main-line cruises we have experienced in the past (we have been mainly HAL cruisers for the past few years). I really enjoyed the smaller ship, one never felt crowded aboard. Also did not miss the ships photographer being in your face constantly, nor did I miss the line pushing "junk" items or "Gold by the inch", etc. The dining, especially at dinner was just superb, both food quality and service were what one would like to expect on all cruise lines, but alas this is no longer true on the mainstreams who now push their alternate dining at the expense of the standard. While I am not sure that it is worth two to three times the price of a HAL cruise I sure did enjoy it! But, if you can afford to cruise at Seabourns prices, this may be the way to go!
Cabin was very nice, but frankly it was only a bit larger than a Veranda on HAL. This did make room for a small dining table that made room More
service meals much easier and Seabourn made them more special with setting up the table with all the trimmings including a white tablecloth. I did not particularly care for the cabinets with shelves in the main cabin vs drawers, this made it much more difficult for me to locate items as I practically had to get down on my knees to find where I had put things. However, the closet did contain drawers that made up for some of it. An odd thing was that the room safe, which was in the closet, had no handle or pull and it was impossible to open the door without something to pry it open with. Less

Experienced babysitters usually put together a bag of stuff to take with them on jobs. Here's what you might wanna put in yours....
1. First-aid kit
2. Construction paper
3. Craft scissors designed for kids
4. Yarn, buttons, beads
5. Markers/crayons
6. Playing cards
7. Books
8. Cassettes of fun music
9. Old clothes to play dress-up
10. Videos (think Shrek and The Little Mermaid)
Been There, Done That Tips from Babysitters
Alicia, 12: "Communicate with the parents BEFORE they leave about what's expected from the kid. What are the rules? What should he eat? What can he watch on TV? How can he be punished if he's bad? Knowing this can save a lot of hassle."
Maggie, 14: "Meet with the family first and play with the kid before you actually sit. That way she can find out what the kids are into T-ball, ballet, the Spice Girls."
Amelia, 15: "I always make sure I call my mom with the information about where the parents are going to be, just in case. It makes me feel safer."
Sam, 11: "Have the parents walk you through the house, so you know where everything is. Also, get phone numbers of the neighbors, so you will be able to get a hold of someone close by if you need to."
Need-to-know Info
File this one in the "Just in case" file: Okay, so maybe it seems paranoid, but you should know all this info before the parents walk out the door. (Have 'em write it down.)
Family name
Children's names and ages
Time parents will return
Phone number where they can be reached
Address where you are
Nearest cross streets
Phone number
Name and phone number of two neighbors
Name and phone number of family doctor
Name and phone number of hospital
Phone number for Poison Control
Additional instructions
And one more thing...
Before you camp out on the sofa with the remote and One Tree Hill, make sure you've done everything on your babysitting checklist. Whaddaya mean? What checklist? It's that "stuff to do" list you made yourself, to make sure you wouldn't space on anything the parents asked you to do. (Plus, it's a good way to track your time, and the amount of work you've done, which helps in figuring out how much to charge.) Include this stuff:
Ask parents:
1. Instructions on meals and snacks. If there's a baby: When's bottle time?
2. Also, when's their bedtime and should you bathe the kids?
3. Do the kids need any medicine? Are they allergic to anything?
Your checklist:
1. Did you do the dishes?
2. Clean up any mess the kids made while you were there.
3. Shut and lock doors.
4. Bring bikes and toys inside.
5. Turn off unnecessary lights.
6. Have the kids brush their teeth and bathe (keep an eye on young kids in the bathtub!).
7. Check on them periodically once they've been put to bed.
Cha-ching! How to collect the cash
Make up a receipt at the end of the night. It'll keep you from getting gypped, and help the parents figure out how much to pay you. Include your arrival time, total hours babysitting, hourly rate, and ta-da! grand total. Hand it to them with a smile and a "Thanks."

How Yahoo Spawned Hadoop, the Future of Big Data

Origins of the Elephant
The name is a nod to the eponymous elephant in Dr. Seuss's classic children's book Horton Hears a Who. Hadoop, you see, has a long history with pachyderms. It was dubbed Hadoop after the yellow stuffed elephant that once belonged to the son of its founder, Doug Cutting. It's unclear whether the Seuss estate is looking for royalties. But Cutting's son certainly is. "I've told him I'll pay his college tuition," Cutting says.
In 2004, Doug Cutting and fellow coder Mike Cafarella were building an open source alternative to web search engines like Google and Yahoo. The project was called Nutch, and they needed an inexpensive way of building the massive index of web pages the project required. As luck would have it, Google had just released a pair of research papers describing two proprietary software platforms that underpinned its own search engine: the Google File System (GFS), a means of storing data across distributed machines, and Google MapReduce, a distributed number-crunching platform that runs atop GFS. These served as the basis for Hadoop.
"We knew from the beginning we wanted to do Nutch in a distributed manner. We knew we couldn't do it on one machine," Cutting says. "We had it up and running on four or five machines, and we had a lot of manual steps to keep everything running on those machines. The papers provided a way to automate all those steps and give us reliability and really give a nice framework for what we were doing."
Cutting was a free agent at the time, but he was looking for full-time employment, and somewhere along the way, he discussed his new project with Raymie Stata, then the chief architect of search and advertising at Yahoo. Cutting had also interviewed with IBM, but whereas Big Blue was interested in older open source project of his — Lucene, an information retrieval software library — Stata latched on to Cutting's latest obsession.
Stata soon put Cutting on contract to continue his work on Hadoop, and in early 2006, after a working prototype was in place, Yahoo committed to moving its search infrastructure to the platform. "Every search company at that time had built something very MapReduce-like … [but] these were overly complex systems," says Stata, who later ascended to the CTO post at Yahoo. "The genius MapReduce is that it was such a simple abstraction." Cutting joined a brand-new Hadoop team run by Eric Baldeschwieler, who had come to Yahoo after the company acquired his previous employer, search outfit Inktomi.
In those days, Cutting never imagined the platform would be used for anything other than a search engine. But Baldeschwieler says that Yahoo embraced the project — and kept it open source — because the company realized it could become a "general purpose" technology. "From the beginning, we thought that the world needed this," Baldeschwieler says, "though it exceeded our wildest expectations."
Hadoop Maps the Web
Two years later, in January 2008, Yahoo flipped the switch on its first major Hadoop application, using the platform to build its search "webmap" — an index of all known webpages and all the meta-data needed to search them. At the time, Baldeschwieler boasted that Yahoo's 10,000-processor-core Hadoop cluster could generate this webmap 33 times faster than the company's previous system on the same hardware, but speed was only a small part of the story.
When running on all cylinders, the old system was actually faster than the new Hadoop application. The difference is that Hadoop — which spreads tasks evenly across a sea of low-cost machines — is designed to keep running when individual servers fail.
"When it's running perfectly, the old system does outperform the new one. But of course, hardware fails, and there are all sorts of scenarios under which the old system doesn't perform perfectly," Baldeschwieler said. "Hadoop gives us much more flexibility. It's built around the idea of running commodity hardware that runs all the time."
Like Google MapReduce, Hadoop "maps" tasks across a cluster of machines, splitting them into tiny sub-tasks, before "reducing" the results into one master calculation. If a system fails, another node can pick up the slack. It's an old "grid computing" technique given new life in the age of "cloud computing."
That spring, Yahoo held its first Hadoop developer summit in Santa Clara, California, and though it expected fewer than a 100 attendees, more than 350 showed up. Amazon was running Hadoop atop its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and both Yahoo and IBM Research had built SQL-like query languages for the platform.
A year later, in spring of 2009, the second annual summit attracted twice as many developers. Facebook and eBay were using Hadoop. At Yahoo, it was driving services beyond the search engine. And even Microsoft was using the open source platform, after acquiring San Francisco startup Powerset, which had built its semantic search engine atop the platform.
Famously allergic to open source software, Microsoft eventually gutted Powerset's Hadoop cluster and replaced it with some sort of proprietary technology. But it has now reversed course and embraced the platform once again, and Hadoop is a mainstay with the rest of the web's biggest names — including Google, which had adopted Hadoop a way of teaching the Mountain View way to up-and-coming engineers. The first enterprise play wasn't far behind. Cloudera launched in March 2009.
The Hadoop All-Stars
Cloudera grew straight out of the big web players. Yahoo vice president of engineering Amr Awadallah and Facebook "data manager" Jeff Hammerbacher joined forces with Christophe Bisciglia, who had installed Hadoop as the cornerstone of the Google "Big Data" course he taught at the University of Washington. The idea was to do for Hadoop what Red Hat had done for Linux: create a company that would provide services and support and additional software around the open source platform.
Overseen by ex-Oracle man and longtime open source guru Mike Olson, Cloudera now boasts dozens of customers across both the web and the enterprise, including eBay, Samsung, Rackspace, Groupon, and comScore. And at the end of 2009, the Burlingame, California-based startup recruited another Hadoop all-star: Doug Cutting.
Cutting's departure from Yahoo came little more than a week after the company agreed to shift its underlying search infrastructure onto Microsoft Bing. Though he said this played no role in his decision, his move was symbolic of Yahoo's struggles to retain its talent — and its mojo — after offloading such a high-profile part of its business to Redmond.
The Microsoft deal meant that Yahoo's webmap — the world's largest Hadoop application — would soon vanish, and many wondered whether the company would retain its place at the hub of the Hadoop world. As it turned out, Yahoo continued to fund Hadoop development in a big way — with the platform playing a major role across the rest of its web services — but the company was still struggled to cope with the spectre of the Microsoft deal — and other demons — when Rob Bearden emailed Eric Baldeschwieler.

Location, Climate
Mexico's capital is Mexico City which is also one of the largest cities in the world. It is situated in the Valley of Mexico and surrounded by volcanoes and mountains. The climate of Mexico City is subtropical highland with wet, hot summers and dry, cold winters. If you prefer warm and dry weather, book a cheap hotel between March to May. Choose from a wide selection of cheap hotels online. We hope the weather will be fine when you are staying at Mexico City hotels.
Brief History
The Mexica people or more commonly known as the Aztecs discovered Mexico City in 1325. The old Mexica city was called Tenochtitlan and there was a story that revealed how the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli led the Mexica people to finding the city.
Events, Landmarks, Activities
One of the most-attended events in Mexico City is the Independence Day "Yell" and Parade. The President or Mayor of the city yells the traditional "Viva Mexico" the night before Independence Day. The big day itself, which is held on September 16, features a military parade that runs from Paseo de la Reforma to Zocalo. The busiest area in Mexico City is the downtown area where one can find many famous landmarks including the Cathedral, Basilica de Guadalupe, Angel de la Independencia, Plaza de la Constitucion and Plaza Garibaldi-Mariachi. You can see these landmarks by booking Mexico City hotel deals. During your trip, you can explore some other close destinations to Mexico City such as Puebla and Cuernavaca which draw attention with their historic architecture.
Mexico City has one of the world's largest subway systems and preferred by both locals and tourists. When riding a bus, make sure to choose the RTP (full-sized buses) rather than the microbuses or peseros. Those who plan to go sightseeing can choose the Turibus (hop-in hop-off bus). Taxis are affordable and efficient especially during late hours. Find discount hotels in Mexico City nearby public transportation.

In our network the name of the network domain is also the domain of the organisation's website (say, example.com). Externally people can enter example.com to visit our website but internally this points to one of the several domain controllers, some of which do not even run a webserver. So, the result of this is that links to http://example.com don't work internally (only www.example.com works).
How do we point http requests transparently to the webserver and what side effects does this have?

We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, GIGABYTE, AMD, Kingston and Cooler Master and Sceptre.
The P55A-UD7 was easy to get setup with the exception of needing to make sure all the SATA ports were set to AHCI for the install. We also ran into a minor problem with our SATA DVD-RW drive being in the SATA 1 port (the Intel SSD was in SATA 0). We ended up needing to move the DVD-RW to SATA 3 to get the install to recognize the SSD without an issue. It was an odd occurrence and not something that we think is a common problem.
The driver install went off without a hitch, but we would like to see GIGABYTE offer their EPU software in the driver package, though. As it is, someone might miss this software during an install and miss out on a great feature.

Quoted from Spring Fingerprints will reveal white lines if they are present. If you look at your fingers where the fingerprints are made, and they look as if they have been slashed lightly with a knife, then you know that those slashes will more than likely appear as white lines on your fingerprints.
Quoted from Spring If you actually do a fingerprint it will show up as a white line. Lines don't appear white on your finger.
Quoted from Marc121 I saw some in my right thumb its like a short wrinkle like a cut of a knife it looks plain color flesh. How white are you talking about?
Quoted from TJ My fingerprints (heck, the whole palm side of my fingers) are still shot through with lines and the ridges are low.
Quoted from Spring I don't know about that, but I have noticed that when my fingers slip all the time when I am trying to turn a page, I can be assured that I am going to have white lines. The slipping fingers means the ridges are very shallow!
Quoted from http://n-equals-one.com/blogs/2010/10/03/fingerprint-white-lines-and-gluten/ Ridge height appears to be linked to many of the same cell processes that control glycosylation in the gut. Proper ridge height equates with a patent digestive track, while a worn appearance may signal digestive problems. Known as ridge hypoplasia, this is a situation in which the fingerprint ridges are reduced in height, giving them a "worn-off" appearance. These areas of worn off ridges are also covered with an unusual number of fine secondary creases that become visible, producing what are called "white lines."
Quoted from TJ So the question, "Why hasn't my gut healed yet?" is still the right one to be asking.
Quoted Text ... shows a correlation between the appearance of white lines and celiac disease. Typically, the number of white lines increases with age as gut integrity continues to deteriorate. In many cases, these white lines begin to vanish with the maintenance of a gluten-free diet.
Quoted from Marc121 So this is what i looks like. My Dad and mom has that. I have one ridge on the right middle thumb its a short one.The other two short ridges is on the left thumb.Am I on the average level?Sorry for hi jacking your thread TJ.
Quoted from ruthiegirl TJ, who says your gut hasn't healed a lot already? Perhaps your fingerprints were even worse a couple of years ago. Yes, you still have a lot of healing to do, but that's not the same as saying you haven't healed at all yet.
Quoted from JJR I really am trying to learn to not blame my food for every ailment I have. I think we can get to the point where this happens.......It's possible that some kind of disease, like lymes disease is messing with our guts. It's possible that heavy metals are messing with our guts. It's possible that H.Pylori or some other unwanted thing like crypto spurridium is messing with our guts. ON and on. I think avoiding gluten or problem foods may help address these issues, but again, I think I've taken it too far. Or, maybe not. Maybe all my strict adherence has actually been to my benefit, and I just don't realize it. That's possible too.
Quoted from JJR Are you an ectomorph? I am. I can wrap my fingers around my wrist and overlap them. I was always pretty thing growing up. But I think that's OK for some of us.
Quoted from Facebook Friends, let me tell you something. I'm sick of living in crappy apartments. I'm sick of driving crappy cars. I'm sick of not having the money to fix them when they break down, and not (consistently) having the ability to do the repairs myself. I'm sick of not knowing how I'm going to pay for the next tank of gas, the next month's rent, the next refill on my phone, or the next trip to the grocery store.I'm sick of not being able to depend on my own mind to remember things or to work through hard problems. I'm sick of not being able to depend on my body to work and do things that need to be done. I'm sick of my brain staying stressed out over things I can't control. I'm sick of being a scrawny, tired weakling. I'm sick of being oversensitive to foods and stress and chemicals and allergens. I'm sick of not getting better results from everything I've done to get healthy.I'm sick of not knowing when it's going to get better. I'm sick of being in pain -- body, mind, and heart. I'm sick of not knowing what's wrong with me, and not knowing how to fix it, and not even knowing if it *can* be fixed. I sick of knowing that I probably can't afford whatever it's going to take.I'm sick of putting on a good face even when I'm not okay. I'm so very sick of being in this miserable place and not being able to do anything about it.I don't know what to do about any of this, and I don't expect any of you to know, either, but maybe it will help just knowing that *you know* -- and that you know I'm not just lazy, deluded, or dishonest; that you know that I'm doing the best I can, but I don't have much to work with; that I've never had much to work with and it's just getting worse.

MRSA is a bacterium that can cause infection in people, particularly those who are in hospital. MRSA is now becoming a problem for older people (residents) who live in nursing homes. Nursing homes are ideal places for MRSA to spread: the residents live close to each other, many have a number of medical conditions and may receive several prescriptions for antibiotics, and some may have pressure sores and medical devices such as catheters. All of these factors increase the risk of residents getting MRSA, and so increase their risk of dying.
Many different ways of preventing the spread of MRSA have been studied, particularly in hospitals; however, we found only one study that looked at whether an infection control education and training programme influenced the spread of MRSA in nursing homes for older people. This study showed there was no difference between the group that was involved in the programme and the comparison group which continued with their normal practice.
Although there is some evidence for techniques that work well to prevent the spread of MRSA in hospital, it is not clear if these approaches will work in nursing homes for older people. Further research is needed to establish what will work in nursing homes.

So I'm building a greenhouse out of old windows and using some corregated plastic as well. It's turning into one of those nightmare projects that just keeps going and going but it will be fab when it's done. My plan is to use it from Sept-Nov and then March-May. I have no intention of heating it and I'm pretty sure getting it airtight will be impossible. I was thinking I'd probably put a sprinkler with a timer and have it come on once a day, like I do with my garden in the summer. My question is, if I'm watering it anyway why does it need to be so airtight, a little rain inside won't matter, right? Also, how much of the warmth will stay inside if it's not airtight (and by this I mean tiny little leaks here and there)? This is a weekend home so I won't be able to do anything on a daily basis besides the timer. Am I living in a fantasy world with my idea? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My biggest concern would be putting a water supply on a timer. Seen them fail and you want water running for a week? |
Many of us weekenders use them and I admit they are a little scary but from what I can tell from a random sampling, they mostly fail by not coming on at all. Without them I wouldn't have the most amazing crop of tomatoes this summer (some of my plants have 25 each one)! |

Sprinkler irrigation during the short, dark days of fall is tempting the gods of fungal infections. Depending on what you plan to grow, you may not need to water more than once every two weeks in November. How much heat conserved depends on many other factors. Size of GH, exposure, glazing (number of layers), soil temperature. If everything else is optimized, tiny air leaks will be okay. You can get an idea by putting a max/min thermometer in there, shaded from sun. Place another outside at the same height. Compare the two minima. Also, get a soil thermometer and monitor how it relates to minimum temperatures inside the greenhouse. As a VERY general rule, I find that if Z = k(X-Y) + Y |
- Posted by drhorticulture_ Z3 Central Saskatche (My Page) on Tue, Aug 17, 10 at 21:50
Just to clarify what I'm saying: for my poorly insulated, single layer PC greenhouse, k is about 0.25 to 0.3 on clear nights and 0.10 to 0.15 on cloudy nights. Yesterday morning, the low was 38 degrees (!). Soil temp. at 6" depth was 66 degrees. G.H low was 46. k = (46-38)/(66-38) = 0.29. This approximate trend has held true since installing the GH. |
Thanks Dr, I get the point, though my question pertains to the building of it so I can't really do that yet. I do hear you about watering though, good thought on that. I guess the bottom line is still get it as tight as possible. Since I'm using old windows, each window is a different thickness etc. No matter how much I try I can tell it'll be far from airtight. |
- Posted by sandy0225 z5 Indiana (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Aug 27, 10 at 8:06
You'd be better off to build your greenhouse at your "weekday house". Once a week tending to it will not be very productive no matter how well your timer works. It would be easier to use the timer two days a week when your not home than 5 days when you're not there. Things go wrong fast in a greenhouse! |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Megan!
Facts about Megan
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Megan's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Megan is a beautiful Orange Tabby and a former mom. Her fur is very soft and she has golden eyes. She did a wonderful job caring for her kittens. She is very friendly and affectionate. She follows you around, rubs up against your legs and will stand on her hind legs stretching her front paws up asking to be picked up. She starts to purr as soon as you walk into the room and loves to be petted and likes to on laps. Megan enjoys to play with toys and has a frisky side to her mostly mellow, gentle personality. She likes attention and really enjoys human companionship as well as being with other cats. You will fall in love with her as soon as you meet her!!!
Other Pets at Orange County Animal Rescue Coalition
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Megan, a Irvine Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Irvine, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Irvine.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Irvine already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Irvine breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Irvine paves the way for another one to be saved.
