Far Cry 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.01
Timedemo or Level Used: Ranch Long
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.farcry2.com/
The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.
We again see the GTS 250 perform well under FC2, but for some reason ATI cards have always done quite well in FC2 under Windows XP.

Marie, thank you for a wonderful day of swapping, eating and especially touring your beautiful garden. Your garden is chock full of such interesting perennials, shrubs and trees. It was a real treat to take a tour with you.
It was so nice to meet everyone and a good day was had by all. I've attached a link with the photos I took today of the garden and the swappers. I hope everyone enjoys it! |

Aw, thanks for posting those! Marie, you really HAVE done an amazing redesign of your garden - wow. |
Hi Nan, Missed you today. You'd be thrilled at how large and healthy the trees and shrubs you gave me have become. We'll have to figure out a make-up event. |
Wow, beautiful, Marie! Your yard is really lovely. I love your raised beds - they look so much more elegant than my cinder block ones! Looks like you guys had a great day for a swap and had lots of fun - love the shot of the car loaded to the gills! :) |
Great pictures, Thyme. I didn't even notice you taking any of them! Love the closeups on Poppy, pots, etc. Nice variety for Idabean. |
- Posted by blaketaylore (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 8:48
Great Pictures, Susan! Again, I just want to say what a great time Michael and I had, and thank Marie for hosting it. All the garedeners that came were so upbeat and fun, a great group of people. It was my first time there, but Marie and all the other gardeners made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. It was a lovely time. Blake |
It looks like you guys had a great time. I will definitely try to make the next one if there is one. What great pictures too. Marie, your place looks delightful. Yes, the last pic was the coolest!!! |
- Posted by whitegarden Z5 MA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 10:37
Marie, I will drop off a CD of the photos I took when I come by to pick up my cooler (Still can't believe I left it!!!) Also, you had a metal heron ornament I greatly admire. Where did you get it? WG |
Nice garden and I'm sorry to have missed meeting you all. Hopefully I will be around for the next one. |
Hi Everyone, Love reading your comments and putting names to faces. The heron was from a store which has since closed. It has a mate somewhere.They had the cutest, inexpensive asian decorations. But that's the kind of do-dad you might find at Pier One on a lucky day. I really just keep my eyes open and venture into odd stores. There was a huge pottery fountain I loved at an out of the way nursery. The owner told me she found it at Home Depot! Go figure. Can[t Hesitate or its gone. I figure I can always pass it on or put in rotation. OTT, I love swapping the annuals for perennials. I've got plenty to share and I sort of resent buying a lot of annuals because they are ....temporary... I'd like to suggest you come as soon as you can or wait until fall. It is so hard on the plants to dig them up in the heat, with the stress of transporting and then keeping up with the watering. I assume you have a place that's shady or has shade cloth? If not, I def. think you should wait until fall because even the sun lovers need some shade to recover from transplanting. Write me a separate email and we can set up something. |
It was a wonderful time! Thank you so very very much for hosting! You did a great job and I am Still raving to DH about your garden! It is tour worthy. It was so awesome to put names to faces .( i must admit I had pictured Tereene much differently LOL . I love gardeners.. we are so different in many ways but can all be friends beacuse we share this passion. I am so glad the swapping for Annuals was Ok with you l I was a lil worried it was not "even". I will email you about getting your generous donation to the plant sale. |
I love your garden ornaments and your gardens look awesome. I wish I lived near you so I could come to your plant swap. I would like to have come just for the joy of seeing your gardens in person. |
marquest If you come to the Boston area, please be in touch. I love visiting and being visited by other gardeners. I don't have enough of them in my life, and welcome all the flower-talk I can get. Marie |
Look up green leaved cimigifuga. I'm sure that's it. "Silvery green leaves" flowers like white wands.....doesn't that fit the mystery plant? My original guess and I stand by it! |
marie, if I am ever in your area I will be there. You have a standing invitation to my house also. if you are ever in Pa come and visit and give me some ideas. I purchased an old Tudor on 4 acres three years ago and I want my gardens to look like yours one day. |
Give them 20 years. Or, if you are more decisive and confident than I am, it could happen much, much sooner. mt |
Question for Thyme - what kind of Rose of Sharon did you say your seedling was? I have planted almost all the swap plants - except the Rose of Sharon, the iris, and the Jet Bead. There is a theme developing in the little foundation bed where I planted the Agastache 'Golden Jubilee' - there is also Hosta 'Gold Standard', Goldflame Spiraea japonica, and the 'Jester Gold' Gladiolus planted there too! This was not really planned. :) PS to OTT - just curious how you pictured me?? |
Hey Terrene, I've never seen this one before and I have no idea of the name. I love it though. It blooms profusely. The shrubs I've had in for about 8 years are quite large now. The flower is a smaller double-type. This one is actually planted down one level from the backyard on a terrace so you're seeing the top of it. It's probably about 8' tall. There's one further back behind it so it's a little deceiving at the top. |
I wanted to say a belated thank you to everyone!!! i had such a wonderful time meeting everyone, touring the garden and I love the plants I got! My dear sweet husband planted them all for me. They are all doing wonderfully....except our resident very cute bunny rabbit made short work of the iris. S/he left the green part, so I have hope for it next year. It was quite funny though, the iris was in the ground for a couple days at most before the flower disappeared. What a wonderful time! jilly |

Looks like you all had a great day for the swap. Marie, you've done a lot of work in your garden and it's looking great! I love your new vegetable beds too. |
Pretty Thyme2dig! Thanks for posting the pictures. I wonder if the double flowers would come true in a seedling? Hey Jilly, are you sure you mean Iris flowers? Did you mean Lilies? |
Idabean, here are a few more pictures from the swap that I finally got uploaded to Flicker. They can't compare to Thyme's though! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Idabean's swap
Terrene, I have had one seedling drop itself and it does flower true from seed. I started your seedling this winter. I had never started them from seed before but when I saw it does seed true I thought I should try. I think it's such a unique flower for a rose of sharon. |
S/Terrene, I think the photos are excellent. I mean it. They are completely different than t2d's. You got the really long shots and give a picture of the whole property. Oh, how I wish my mom could see it. I learned to love a garden through her. She never made me do a lick of work except go out at night and turn off the hose. She'd leave it running at a trickle on her rose bushes for hours and hours. Bear with me....nostalgia....I remember wrinkling up my nose at the smell of the dehydrated cow manure becoming hydrated. "My" rose was Queen Elizabeth (my middle name) and how everything got black spot in Baltimore summers. A dogwood tree...and I'd go pick Fairy roses for tiny little bouquets. We really learn to love through our senses, don't we. Cow poop is my madeleines. Best, |
I hope you enjoy the pictures, MT. My favaorite is the one with your long gravel path. I also really like the photo that Thyme took from up near the top of your hill, looking down on the property, with the yellow flowers in the foreground. Lovely long shot! Hopefully you can get some more photos of your garden when other things are blooming. I bet it changes throughout the season with waves of blooms and color but always gorgeous! |

(HealthDay News) -- If you have the flu, an antiviral medication can help minimize the duration and severity of the illness.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers this additional information:
Taking an antiviral can help reduce the duration of flu and other viral illnesses by about one or two days.
Taking antiviral medication soon after showing flu symptoms is important for people who are chronically ill or hospitalized.
Antiviral medication can help reduce the risk of developing serious complications of the flu, such as pneumonia.

Stitch charts in knit and crochet patterns are being used more and more as an addition to or in place of words to describe a pattern stitch.
Following are the standardized knit symbols that have been adopted by members of the Craft Yarn Council and are considered to be the clearest and easiest to render and to read.

POURING in OKC. Dawn, you guys getting any? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Reed, Nope. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Often our weather is 6 to 12 hours behind yours at this time of year. We are so far south that it can take the rain a while to make it down here to us. I'm glad you're getting rain. We all need rain in the worst possible way. With all the different watches and warnings up on the NWS map, it looks like spring here. When you have Tornado Watches, Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, High Wind Watches, Red Flag Fire Warnings and Fire Weather Watches all active at the exact same time, it must be spring, right? The Qualitative Precipitation Forecast doesn't show us getting nearly as much rain as we'd like, but any rain at all is better than none.

It is a very noisy, spring-like rain here. I hope it's not raining so hard that most will run off rather than soak in, which is what we need. I heard a little bit of hail, but not much. Susan |

The mesonet said I should have had about an inch. I hope so! I've been needing to get out water, but it would require hauling out the hoses and unwrapping faucets. I hadn't forced myself to do it yet. Maybe this will give us a break for a while. Lisa |
Hey, that's great news, Lisa. I hope you got that much and then get some more. It has rained here y'all. Big, fat drops. It lasted about 30 seconds. I hope that's not the only rain we get. |

I am so happy for you guys. I have kept an eye on the weather for OK and so glad to see this. Happy for my garden there too and hope it keeps coming! |
Hey momfryhover, How are things there? I heard parts of your state have had some good rain this week? Dawn |

Here in the Hilo area, lack of rain is hardly ever a problem..LOL. But, yes, drought has effected many parts of the islands and they did get much needed rain. The west side of this island was in bad drought and they sadly didn't get the rain. Cattle ranchers are in big trouble. I have tried to plant cherry tomatoes and cilantro but something ate them! Believe it or not, gardening is hard here! And where we live, its mostly lava and you have to get bags of soil and make raised beds. There are areas of the islands that have soil, but bugs are a big, big problem so people use lots of chemicals. You would think here vegetable gardening would be easy, but not so. |
momfryhover, Isn't it irritating to have rain miss the areas that really needed it? I always figured gardening in Hawaii might be difficult because of the pests and because of some diseases that thrive in high humidity. I'm sorry to hear that something ate your tomato and cilantro. It is finally raining at our house, though not heavily. I expect we'll get maybe a half-inch to an inch depending on how long the rain keeps falling. Tornado Warnings are up for some parts of AR and MO. Seems like March instead of January, but there's also a forecast for snow in NW OK, so I guess maybe we're having spring and winter weather today and tonight. I hope everyone stays safe from the severe weather. Dawn |
I have .88 of an inch in my gauge, and I am happy. :) Moni |

The weather forecast said we got .8" of rain yesterday. I did get outside some, and everything looked like it was so appreciative of the moisture. My Daffs are peeking thru the soil, so I imagine I'll see a lot more growth from them since they had a shower yesterday. My Spanish Lavender looks pretty forelorn, so I'm not sure the roots have survived this winter yet. The weeds are agrowin', that's for sure! Susan |
We ended up with about 0.60" in the rain gauge. I was hoping for, but not expecting, more rain than that. Any rainfall at all is good. We had two fires yesterday, one apparently started by lightning. Even on rainy days, we cannot catch a break when we're in prolonged drought. Susan, The weeds are up and growing like mad here too. So are some of the cool-season volunteers like chamomile, poppies and larkspur. Henbit is blooming and the bees and butterflies are glad. With the way the wind is blowing, the moisture likely won't last real long though. Dawn |
We ended up with .01" yesterday. That's better than nothing, but it sure would be nice if the rain would stop missing us. Leslie |
That is just sad. I cannot believe it almost completely missed y'all. I've been watching the weather today as the storm system tears across the southeastern US, with torrential rain and flooding, strong winds bringing down power lines and trees, and tornadoes tearing everything up, and I feel like we were pretty fortunate that our main impact was just rain. |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Grove (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 16:32
I had over 2 inches so that is great. What is not so great is the temperature, since we are 10 degrees lower than the panhandle and our little corner is the only part of Oklahoma that is below freezing today. |

The Gallery produces limited run color catalogs for many of our solo exhibitions, available for purchase at the gallery. | |
Michael Voss |
The paintings of Michael Voss could be thought of as fields, lying somewhere off the grid and beyond the dependency of distributed networks, and at the same time as field recordings, their roughly hewn aspect serving as high fidelity. In the contemporary context they may seem low tech, except that painting, rather than being an old technology, is more like the perennial base condition technology addresses. Sleep is such a ground and sleeping pills are technology, or nutrition and vitamins. The weight of the mission Voss has undertaken can be measured against the value we place on our own sensate experience of the world, by how much we still navigate with a visual acuity indelibly linked to our sense of touch. |
Brooklyn Bridge |
One commonality amongst the works in this show is an insistently low-tech, physical presence, an anomaly in a time that seems to eschew the physical. Contemporary painting practice does seem to have finally made a certain peace with time, an independence of obligation from both historical precedent and fashionable currency, though not through lack of awareness of either. The painters of Brooklyn, who are after all the painters of New York, grasped this decoupling first. Painters such as the ones in this show draw on art history with the entitlement of priveledged heirs drawing on their inheritances. They own everything that has come before and were born to spend it as they choose. | ERIN LAWLOR |
Erin Lawlor |
This book marks the occasion of our inaugural show in the new Potrero Hill space, Erin Lawlor's second solo show with the gallery. Lawlor splits her time between London and Ste. Marie de Ré in France, and these works are selected from a suite she completed on the island this spring and summer. Her work is characterized by wide gestural handling, closely valued hues and a balance between emotional tone, evocations of the natural world, and pure painting. |
Susan Mikula Introductory remarks by Christopher Bonanos |
This book marks the occasion of Susan Mikula's fourth show with the gallery. Mikula is presenting the 25 pieces of her suite u.X, pigment prints from Polaroid originals on handmade Japanese mulberry paper, mounted on aluminum plate and framed in steel. A boxed set of the entire cycle as unframed, un-cropped prints is available. |
John Millei |
This book marks the occasion of the first solo show in our gallery of Los Angeles-based painter John Millei. It is a catalogue of the 6 pieces in his San Francisco exhibition, recent paintings. The six paintings in this show were painted for the San Francisco gallery space, for the intimacy of it. They were conceived as a progression, and in some sense perhaps as a kind of private correspondence. Millei's titles remind me of the Ox Herding pictures of Zen tradition, and place their emphasis on the ongoing practice of painting over any single result of that practice. Still, they are, each one, wonderfully realized works, modest in scale and ambitious in scope, and encapsulate all the best of an experience paint offers that is unavailable through any other medium. |
Marie Thibeault Introductory remarks by George Lawson and commentary by Constance Mallinson |
This book marks the occasion of the fourth solo show in our gallery of Los Angeles-based painter Marie Thibeault. It is a re-issue of the gallery's Thibeault catalog as an 140-page hardcover book with over 60 color reproductions, new paintings and commentary by Constance Mallinson. The book feature images of new oils on canvas from a series the artist embarked upon late in 2012, many in response to the impact of super storm Sandy, including selections from Funtown, a group named after a seaside park in New Jersey hit particularly hard by the calamity. As in the past, Thibeault's work continues to balance the demands of abstraction and social engagement, pushing the technical limits of painting as a drawing medium while echoing the necessarily fragmented manner in which global media patch together our understanding of major events. |
Stephen Beal Introductory remarks by George Lawson |
This book marks the occasion of two exhibitions of Stephen Beal's work, the first in our Los Angeles gallery a selection from a series of paintings on wooden panels and stretched linen that predominately engage white; the second in our San Francisco space is something of a subset of the paintings on linen, a continuation of the series with a reintroduction of color. Both working groups give us an opportunity to chart the evolution of Beal's understanding, and at the same time, to gauge the maturation of painting in general as a medium responsive to our times. |
Linda Vallejo
text by William Moreno, Karen Mary Davalos and Armando Duróny
In this recent and ongoing series, Vallejo has forged a simple visual tool capable of powerful leverage. She wields it to debunk embedded social stereotypes, but without subordinating the formality of her art to identity politics. Vallejo has crafted an ostensibly Chicano art, yet one with international address; a topical art, yet one with long shelf life. That she does this with a sense of humor does not detract from the seriousness of her intent. Her art is fundamentally transformative, and the means of her transformation is paint. She uses brown the way Yves Klein, James Lee Byars, and Lita Albuquerque use blue—as a catalyst for change and spiritual alchemy. |
Judith Belzer |
This overview highlights selections of Judith Belzer's serial work from 2006 to 2011. In the introductory remarks to the catalog for our first exhibition, I wrote, "When Judith Belzer agreed to open the inaugural show in the room for painting, I had the sense that everything else in the gallery would just come together." Much indeed has come together in the ensuing three years, and if anything, I feel more strongly than ever how Belzer's laser focus, her commitment, as she deepens and broadens her practice has contributed to anchoring the gallery's mission. More |
Susan Mikula Foreward by George Lawson |
In 2009 Susan Mikula traveled with close friend and volunteer driver Jill McDonough to take a series of Polaroid photographs of industrial dock sites, using an SX-70 Alpha 1 camera that by then qualified as an antique. She had to procure the film, commercially unavailable, on eBay and in garage sales. Some packets had been sitting around on garage shelves for decades. The red spectrum of the dyes had faded, and the surface emulsions had coagulated, leaving her with a characteristic palette and surface she learned to exploit. Her choice to shoot in Polaroid may have initially been driven by aesthetics, but as the series has unfolded into a cycle of almost 60 finished images that span three years, it has become apparent just how commensurate are her chosen medium and her chosen subject. Mikula has captured a fading aspect of a bygone era with fading film and a bygone technology. More |
Sara Bright Foreward by George Lawson |
Sara Brights oils on linen are characterized by robust gesture, viscous paint and an evocative, symbolic content; they straddle the traditional boundaries between abstraction and figuration. In spite of the greater fluidity of the gouache medium, the same could be said of her watercolors. This is an incredible body of work, particularly considering that over 150 of the watercolors were completed within a single year period. More |
Stephen Beal Foreward by Carol Becker, |
Stephen Beal paints panels of relatively small scale in monochromes or closely toned harmonics, his paint marks organized into systemically determined patterns within a penciled grid structure. The grid enjoys a well-established history in modernism and yet Beal manages to claim it as his own, largely through the sensitivity of his touch. The generative power of Beals paintings belies both the intimacy of their scale and the tradition in which they are steeped. More |
Alan Ebnother Foreward by George Lawson |
Alan Ebnother makes paintings using closely hued colors, often one color over another contrasting ground, with dry pigments hand-ground in oil on linen canvases and on wooden panels. For many years Ebnother constrained himself to only green, though a surprising range of green, and recently has broadened his palette to a full range. His paintings initially assert themselves as pure color and then come into focus as gestured compositions full of incident and very physical marking. They are characterized by rich impasto, densely applied pigmentation and intuitive, athletic brush work. More |
Tama Hochbaum Foreward by George Lawson |
We are releasing this updated version of Tama Hochbaum's catalog to mark our first year anniversary for the gallery. Tama inaugurated the room for paper last October, along with Judith Belzer in the room for painting. I asked Tama to return and show her recent grid-based composite photographs, works she shoots for the most part from a moving car or while walking. This catalog comprises a reprint of the initial show along with the group from which the current exhibit is selected, and includes the original remarks by North Carolina artist and writer, Amy White.

I am requesting shipping advice for bulbs: iris crestata and lily of valley. They are done blooming but the leaves have not died back.

HI. I don't know the answer, but you will have more help on the discussion forum (not the exchange - it's really slow moving) |
They are still growing so you want to treat them like any other growing plant. Moist paper towels and plastic around the bulb part. I even did this to Multiflowering Hyacinths before bloom. The trader planted them, and they bloomed like nothing had happened. Remy |
Just like Remy said. I use a grocery bag over the damp paper towels, and keep twisting & doubling it up (so it's actually like 2 or 3 bags wrapped around the bulbs), then tie the handles really snug. If the box isn't a perfect fit, I use crushed paper to keep the bulb plants from shifting around in the box (protects the greens). |

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financial Ob
The information set forth under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Guaranty (as defined therein) is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
On January 17, 2014, a joint venture of Forestar Group Inc. (the "Company") obtained a senior secured construction loan (the "Loan") in the amount of $51,950,000 from PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"). The venture is owned 30% by a subsidiary of the Company and 70% by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. The purpose of the Loan is to finance the venture's construction of a 320 unit multifamily project located in Nashville, Tennessee (the "Project"). The Loan is secured by a lien on the Project land and improvements to be constructed, and by a collateral assignment of present and future leases and rents. The Loan bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.50%, payable monthly, has an initial term of 36 months ("Initial Loan Term") and may be extended for two additional 12-month periods following the Initial Loan Term, subject to payment of extension fees and fulfillment of specified conditions. The Loan may be repaid in full or in part at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company has provided PNC with a guaranty of completion of the improvements (the "completion guaranty"); a guaranty (the "principal guaranty") of repayment of 25% of the principal, repayment of all accrued and unpaid interest, and payment of all operating expenses of the Project (except for certain expenses); and a standard nonrecourse carve-out guaranty (collectively, the "Guaranty"). The principal guaranty will reduce from 25% to 0% of the principal upon achievement of a 1.4:1.0 debt service coverage ratio and not greater than a 60% loan to value ratio.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the guaranty agreements, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1, and Exhibit 10.2, and incorporated by reference.
(d) Exhibits. 10.1 Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship (Completion) dated January 17, 2014 by Forestar Group Inc. in favor of PNC Bank, National Association. Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship (Payment) dated January 17, 2014 10.2 by Forestar Group Inc. in favor of PNC Bank, National Association. |

Snell's Law and Conservation of Energy
Name: Leo Status: other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Assume the follow condition: A Prism in a vacuum
Now shoot a ray of light through the prism. We know through observation that the light will slow relative to the refractive index. However, when the ray of light leaves the prism it speed back up to 3.0x 10^8 m/s when no additional energy is added to the system. How can this be? I know that the conservation of energy must be true, so what am I missing?
The energy of the photon of light does not depend on its velocity. It does depend on its frequency (red, blue etc). So the next question you would ask is why is this? But remember a photon has no "rest" mass, no mass at all if it were not moving, and it has to be moving.

When we consider light traveling through a prism at the level of individual atoms, the contradiction goes away. A beam of light is made of a great many little bundles of light energy called photons. More photons means brighter light. Higher energy photons means higher frequency light (i.e. a different color).
When these millions, or perhaps billions, of photons travel through a prism, photons of light will definitely crash into prism atoms. A photon that hits an atom is absorbed. If it is a frequency (i.e. color) that the atom can hold, the light energy stays in the atom, making the atom bounce around. This is how light heats things up. In most cases, however, the photon does not stay inside the atom. It is quickly released. The photon travels on until it hits another atom. All these small delays within the atoms are what slows down the photons.
Consider two cars being driven at 45 miles per hour through town. The first car hits all green lights; there are no delays. The second car hits many red lights; there are many delays. Both cars move at the same speed (45mph), but the delayed car travels more slowly.

If photons were massive, we would indeed have a big problem here!
However, they are massless and the energy of a single photon is related only to its frequency. The frequency is unchanged during all the transitions.
Energy = (Plancks constant) * (frequency)
It is also possible to re-write the energy (or frequency) in terms of the velocity and wavelength of the light. The velocity changes during the transitions, going from fast to slow and back to fast as the photons leave the substance. However, the wavelength of the light also changes by the same factor during the transitions going from long to short and back to long.
E = (Planck's constant) * (Velocity) / (wavelength)
= (Planck's Constant) * (Velocity/Index of Refraction) /
(Wavelength/Index of Refraction)
The Index of Refraction cancels itself out and you are left with the same before and after any transition. All in all, the energy remains constant.

Did I pass or fail the Nclex??
0Mar 19, '13 by mamacita2I took the Nclex today. The computer shut off after 190 questions. I tried the "Pearson vue trick" but I didn't get a good pop-up. It led me to the part where it asked for my credit card information. Does this mean I failed? I'm crying so much right now...
0Mar 19, '13 by JustBeachyNurseGenerally speaking, as long as it says "delivered" for status going straight to credit card page is indicative of failing. I'm sorry.
Thread moved to NCLEX forum to elicit further response and support. -
0Mar 19, '13 by RNsRWeAre you in a State that allows Pearson Vue "Quick Results" after 48 hours? Those results are accurate without question, because they are sanctioned by Pearson Vue. The 'trick' is not.
From what I've read of the 'trick', I'll admit it doesn't appear that you've passed. However, I wouldn't go off the handle just yet...see what the REAL results are, first. Meantime, I think regardless of the results, you've earned a stiff cocktail! -
0Apr 25, '13 by loveaquinohi i took the exam today. When I was about to do the pearsonvue trick, it says on my current activity, Exam results are not available at this time. "Delivery Successful". I followed the steps but eventually did not get the good pop up. It went straight to credit card information. Does it mean I failed? I'm still hoping.
0Apr 25, '13 by JustBeachyNurseUsually the credit card page is an indication of failure, but I'd wait for the quick results (if your state participates) since there have been so many issues with the website the past couple of days. It's a trick not a definitive result.

I grow in containers using a very fast draning mix. Alot of growers like me call watering 'fertigation' because it borders on hydroponics because we are watering every day, and some use fertilizer with every watering like me. This year I'd like to use a little calcium nitrate in my water to supply an immediate calcium source to prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes. the instructions on the bag of cal. nit. say to use something like 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for hydroponics. Is that what a hydroponic grower would always have in the water? Or just once per week, etc. I'm trying to figure out how much to use and how often to use it. Thanks. Ed. |

BER relates more to consistent moisture levels than it does to calcium. The problem does manifest itself as a calcium deficiency, but the ultimate cause is moisture inconsistency. The cal nitrate is mostly just a way to apply nitrogen. The calcium in it can help in some ways, but it won't cure your BER by itself. Experiment with your watering frequency, or maybe try setting your containers in a shallow saucer of water so they never dry out completely. If you are drilling drainage holes in a container like a bucket, make them about 2-3 inches from the bottom on the sides. That will give the plant a moisture reservoir so that it never completely dries out. |
I cant see 1/2 tsp of calcinit weighing much but 1g in 1 us gallon will give you 50ppm of Ca, 38ppm of NO3 and 2.9ppm of NH4 on top of your source water. If you`re using basic calcium nitrate (tetrahydrate), 1g per i us gal will give you 31ppm of NO3 and 44.5ppm of Ca. |

I made this dress for my 26th birthday party, which had a quinceanera theme. This may be a bit hipster for most quinceaneras, but it works for me!
The pattern is self drafted, with a modified bodice block and a half-circle skirt. Hand picked zipper and hand stitched hem, all that jazz.
The fabric is from thrift store sheets! And the tiara is totally from Claire's. Like you do.

During the 2014 legislative session, DEQ was funded to conduct air toxics monitoring in the Swan Island area of North Portland.
DEQ will locate and operate three types of monitoring equipment on Swan Island for one year. A full spectrum air toxics monitor will measure a wide range of toxic pollutants. A particulate monitor will detect levels of metals including cadmium and arsenic at concentrations above health benchmarks. Six to eight meteorology stations will provide information about temperature, wind direction and speed to track weather conditions associated with elevated air pollution.
By collecting and analyzing additional monitoring and meteorology data, DEQ will gain a better understanding of air toxics sources and exposures and risks associated with those exposures. The data can help determine what emission reduction options might be necessary to mitigate risks from exposure to toxic pollutants in the area.
By comparing complaint and industrial facility data to wind speeds and directions, DEQ will be better able to identify air pollution sources and patterns from facilities. This will allow more informed odor investigations and responses under DEQ's Nuisance Odor Strategy.

Pinoy killed in US oil rig blast
-A A +AMonday, November 19, 2012
MANILA (Updated) – The Philippine Embassy in Washington finally confirmed on Sunday that a Filipino was killed in the oil platform blast that hit off the coasts of Louisiana, United States.
Divers hired by Houston-based Black Elk Energy, the owner of the oil platform that caught fire, recovered the body in the waters near the site.
John Hoffman, the president and CEO of Black Elk Energy, wrote in an email that the body is apparently that of one of two crew members missing since the explosion and fire on Saturday.
Hoffman said the body was found close to the leg of the platform, near where the explosion occurred, in about 30 feet (9 meters) of water. He said the missing men were employees of oilfield contractor Grand Isle Shipyard.
The identity of the body recovered by the US Coast Guard has been ascertained.
"We regret to announce that the body that was recovered near the accident scene a few hours ago belongs to one of our two missing kababayans," said Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Cuisia in a statement.
Cuisia said the identification was made by Grand Isle Shipyard Inc., the employer of the victim, shortly after the body was brought on shore.
However, the Embassy elected not to release the identity of the fatality pending notification of next of kin.
Earlier, it was reported that two Filipinos are missing after the blast and fire that hit the oil platform of Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations LLC, whose manpower is provided by Grand Isle.
"We continue to hope and pray that our other kababayan is still alive and would be found soon," said Cuisia.
"Divers will continue to search for the second missing worker," Hoffman wrote. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families."
Aside from the killed Filipino and the one still missing, four Filipinos have already been confirmed by the Embassy to have been injured in the accident.
"Four Filipinos were also injured in the incident and are being treated for serious burns at the Regional Burn Center of the Baton Rouge General Hospital also in Louisiana. Doctors there said two of the burn victims are in critical condition while the other two are in serious condition," said Cuisia.
The envoy said Philippine Welfare Officer Saul de Vries has already proceeded to Baton Rouge to check on the condition of the injured Filipino oil workers and see what assistance the Philippine Government could extend to them or their families at home.
Also, three other Filipinos were found to be working on the oil platform at the time of the incident.
But the envoy said the Embassy could not immediately confirm whether they were among the nine workers that the US Coast Guard said were hurt in the tragedy.
They are among an estimated 162 welders, fitters, scaffolders, and riggers who were hired in the Philippines, through Grand Isle's US recruitment agency, D&R Resources and its Manila-based counterpart, Industrial Personnel and Management Services, to work in offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Grand Isle Shipyard Inc., which employs the Filipinos, provides manpower to Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations LLC, the Houston-based independent oil and gas firm that owns the stricken platform.
Cuisia, though, assured that Consul General Leo Herrera-Lim of the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago is constantly coordinating with US Coast Guard authorities and continues to monitor the situation while Deputy Consul General Orontes Castro is in touch with Grand Isle and Black Elk Energy.
Grand Isle Shipyard Inc. CEO Mark Pregeant said in his statement that the cause of the fire and explosion is unknown, and said "initial reports said that a welding torch was being used at the time of the incident or that an incorrect line was cut are completely inaccurate."
David Smith, a spokesman for the Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement in Washington, said an environmental enforcement team was dispatched from a Gulf Coast base by helicopter soon after the Coast Guard was notified of the emergency.
Smith said the team would scan for any evidence of oil spilling and investigate the cause of the explosion. (HDT/AP/ECV/Sunnex)

What's the opposite of a housing bubble? How about the apartment vanishing act. The rise in demand for home or condo ownership brought on by a long period of low mortgage rates has resulted a drop-off in new apartment construction and a conversion of the apartment inventory to condos. Now some of those conversions return to the market as leases, but the net result is a high occupancy rate and the corresponding rise in rental rates.
Last year, Metro Orlando was No. 2 in the nation in the number of apartment units sold for conversion to condominiums. Nearly 17,000 units changed hands. The year before, Orlando was also highly ranked when more than 4,400 units were converted.
That two-year wave of conversions reduced the area's rental supply by about 13 percent, according to Bob Miller, an apartment specialist with CB Richard Ellis in Orlando. (Link)
Currently Orlando's Apartment is an amazing 97.2% occupancy. Combine that with our low unemployment rate and you have a situation where people want to move down here for the jobs, but then find there is no place to live. Local officials and business owners need to resolve this situation before word gets out that Orlando is not the place to go for a new job as the cost of living is too high or it's just too inconvenient to find a place to live nearby where you want to work. The job applicant market, already weak, will dry up and our local economy with it.
A side effect of this I personally experience last year is that rental house rates are also going up. We were told by our home owners that they would not be renewing the lease because they wanted to remodel and sell the property. Instead they just kicked us out and rented it to another couple for a much higher monthly rent. (In truth, this was probably to get out of the deal they had with their existing property management company, but the reasoning was the same.)
With all the investment homes on the market, it's probably a good time to be a property management company. I'd be making cold calls to owners of homes that have been on the market for 90 days or more with an offer to fill up all these vacant investment properties with renters on 7 month leases. Throw in some Salvation Army/Hotel used furniture and call it a furnished home, you could make some real bucks.

In a celebration of Father's Day, we bring you a series this week where we asked a few of our Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, as well as their dads, about their journey to becoming one of America's Sweethearts.
This coming Sunday is when we'll take the time to honor the old man, pops, papa, father, ATM machine or, of course, daddy. Wanting to show a little love to those dedicated few who sat through countless hours of dance rehearsals and cheer competitions, we posed questions to several of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and the men who helped raise them. Today, meet Holly and John.
Happy Father's Day!
What do you remember about your relationship growing up as a dancer?
Holly: My dad has always been one of my biggest fans, on and off the stage. As a dad to four girls, he really had to step into some new arenas, and one of them was the world of dance. He often took me to dance classes and was even brave enough to take me to my all-day dance competitions. In high school, before I could drive, he drove me to my 7 a.m. drill team practice every morning. For the drill team spring show my senior year, we danced together in the father/daughter dance. He basically thinks he taught me everything I know!
John: I remember a thousand screaming girls at competitions and spending entire days inside a convention center. I remember rounding up dance costumes, eating at the concessions stands, and it seeming like they had prepared all year for a five-minute dance routine. I remember the day when everything clicked for her – the lights came on and her abilities became evident – and I knew this would be her lifelong passionate pursuit. It was a huge deal because I could see the joy on her face when she danced. I knew she was in her element, that she was born to do it.
What was the conversation like when you talked about trying out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?
Holly: As a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, my dad was definitely excited, but also equally nervous for me. He knew that with the DCC being such a world-class organization, the competition would be intense. But as always, he cheered me on in every possible way. It was a huge blessing to have his support through the rigorous audition process.
John: I was a little scared for her, so I secretly hoped that she would dance another year as captain of her college team. But, she knew in her heart that it was the right time, so she gave it everything she had and proved me wrong. She even made the DCC Show Group. For such a gentle soul, Holly has nerves of steel. To this day, we refer to DCC auditions as an ironman competition.
Have you been surprised with what goes into being a DCC, from the tryouts to the games to the appearances?
John: I really had no idea, but now I've seen firsthand how they always have to bring their A-game. They have a big legacy to uphold. It's why they are the best cheerleaders in the NFL. It is surprising to see all the hard work that goes into it, but it's worth every minute and all the effort.
How does dad handle seeing you perform, not to mention posing in calendars, with millions watching you?
Holly: I honestly don't think he gets nervous for me anymore because he knows this is something I was born to do. He is just extremely proud to see me cheer for the Dallas Cowboys, his favorite team!
John: I'm not going to lie, the swimsuit calendar was a little tricky the first year. After all, she is still my little girl!
What has your dad's love and support meant to you?
Holly: To have my dad's support has meant the world to me! He has such a big heart. He has taught me to work hard, but most importantly, to love what I do and have fun. Knowing that he supports me has given me the confidence to be the best I can be.

So I had business up in Mendocino last week, but managed to sneak in and see a couple of my favorite wine producers in the entire state of California. I thought you should know who these guys are, because they are young, they are talented, and their wines are off the hook now, and getting better.

Taste3 on Drinks
By Jordan Mackay on May 14, 2007 1:00 PM
I was fortunate enough to attend the Taste3 conference in Napa last week. Sponsored by the Robert Mondavi company, the gathering of food, wine and art minds from around the world is supposed to be a sort of culinary TED conference and—if you have an extra $2-grand and consider yourself a die-hard foodie—is well worth your time and money. Great thinkers, scientists, story tellers, cooks, taste makers and thinkers gather together for two days of awesome talks on everything from bees and mushrooms to terroir, food blogging and new kitchen inventions. And you can rub elbows with the speakers at several lunches and dinners.
Three Syrahs

JC Cellars is small winery located in Oakland and run by Jeff Cohn, former winemaker for Rosenblum, and his wife Alexandra. A Rhone-wine specialist--meaning he works mostly with Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne--Cohn also makes a bit of Zinfandel.
Where Italians Speak German
By Jordan Mackay on May 08, 2007 10:02 AM
I had the opportunity to catch up with Alois Lageder of Italy's Alto Adige region this week, which was great, as I'm a big fan of his wines and the wines from this region. Located in the far north of Italy on the east side of the country the Alto Adige borders southern Austria, which is why the majority of the residents in this area speak German as their primary language. The wines reflect a sort of teutonic bent as well--the whites—Rieslings, Pinot Grigios and Sauvignon Blancs, especially—are precise and steely with a great mineral core, just as you'd find in Austria and Germany. The reds are good too, but lesser known. The most famous indigenous variety of red grape there is Lagrein, which has a spicy, peppery component that recalls a lighter Syrah.
Good Drinking in Mendocino
By Jordan Mackay on April 30, 2007 11:21 AM
I spent a couple of days over the weekend perusing the Anderson Valley and the Mendocino coast. Naturally enjoying all that pristine beauty on a sunny day with a cleansing breeze and pounding surf, one gets thirsty. So I searched up and down the coastline up there for the perfect spot to have a beer.
Washington's Wines
By Jordan Mackay on March 27, 2007 3:29 PM
The line-up at Quilceda.
I flew up to Seattle last week to attend a special tasting of what most people consider to be Washington State's finest wine and others even call it the best Bordeaux variety wine made in the country, Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon.
Sipping Sicily
By Jordan Mackay on March 15, 2007 11:44 AM
While traveling in Sicily, it was hard not to think of wine director Shelley Lindgren and her restaurant A16. Shelley's done more for the reputation and profile of Southern Italian wines than anyone in the city, perhaps the country. There are lots of regions you've never heard of, strange sounding grape varieties, wines with flavors and aromas like you've never experienced.
