Inside the Giada i53 Mini PC
Getting the top cover off the i53 was relatively easy, just a pair of screws and a lot of finesse will allow it to come off. Be careful though, the antenna attached to the panel has a very short lead.
Just in front of the enclosed CMOS battery you will see there is an encore low speed USB peripheral controller with the black cable connecting this to the rear I/O USB ports.
The Realtek ALC662 delivers 5.1 channel high definition audio with a sampling rate of up to 96 kHz. If you need to know all of the finer details have a look at Realtek, but I can tell you this is plenty to use for daily use or in the home theater environment.
I removed the cooling from the chips to see what we could find underneath. Here is the Intel i5 3370U CPU with the integrated Intel GMA HD4000. Since there isn't an IHS, the only way to verify it at this point is from the screenshots later in the review.
The second component under the cooling is the also naked Intel HM76 Express chipset that offers SATA III, plenty of USB support for the i53, as well as RST and anti-theft technology.
We also were given the HDD version rather than one with an SSD included. Even though the 5400 RPM Hitachi has been short stroked to improve its performance, this mini PC should really have an SSD over this option. If you need more space, off board storage is cheap enough, and with USB 3.0 you can have pretty fast transfer of images, music, or whatever you need to keep long term.
Getting the motherboard out of this tiny chassis is no easy task, and unless you are out of warranty or want to add extra memory to the i53, I don't recommend going this far. It is really easy to break things if you force your way through.
Removing the single 4GB stick of memory to see what they included, I found a stick of CAS 9 1333MHz Ramaxel memory with Elpida J2108BCSE ICs packed tightly on the PCB.
Also on the back of the motherboard you will find the AzureWave combo card. This is where you get the wireless IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, which the card is installed into the Mini PCI-e slot.
Near the wireless n and BT card, there is an empty slot that would gladly accept an m-SATA drive here. Of course you can use any device that would fit, but an m-SATA SSD would really improve performance a lot.

The founding fathers of Nexus had a dream, a dream that one-day end users could use powerful computers without the need for earplugs. While it may seem as a play on words and a couple of phrases from famous speeches, the statement holds true, Nexus is all about quiet computing.
I first learned of Nexus Technology when they sent over a handful of their Basic Series Case Fans. I found use for the 92mm right off of the bat for my HTPC that was housed in a Silver Stone LM14. The case fan from Silver Stone was very audible from the factory and needed to be changed. The 120mm and 80mm Basic Series fans have been used on a couple of CPU coolers that came to the lab in a passive form, and I have been very impressed with them.
Today we will be looking at the Nexus XiR-2300 Aluminum Edition CPU Cooler. This product was designed by Nexus to keep a CPU cool while reducing the audible fan noise that is typical in stock fans. As you can imagine, if this XiR-2300 has the Aluminum label then there is a copper version as well. We will be looking at the XiR-3500 Copper Edition later this week.

She died on my lap at 6PM tonight. Well into her teens, she's been a wonderful friend for SWMBO and me. She's gotten feeble over the past week, and went quickly, with no apparent discomfort. She laid in my lap, in her favorite position, making biscuits on my knee, and purring while I stroked her ears. She gave a quiet shudder, and was gone. SWMBO will be distraught when she gets home. Services will be simple, tomorrow morning. She'll be laid to rest in an honored place in the garden, and next spring, something lovely will mark her spot. Another friend goes to the Rainbow Bridge. |

I'm so sorry to learn of your loss, it's so sad to lose a pet. Those of us who have gone through it are so aware of how painful it is. Please let SWMBO know that our thoughts are with both of you. Mary |
Here's to Sonya, who lived a long and happy life by your side. I know that you will miss her sharply, and I am sorry for your loss. To a Cat Stately, kindly, lordly friend, All your wondrous wealth of hair, Dogs may fawn on all and some |

Here's to Sonya; What a beautiful cat she was! Condolences, |
Oh Donn -- I'm so sorry to hear about Sonya. What a beautiful lady she was. The blessing in this is that she went peacefully and in a place of great comfort to her (your lap). Bless your heart..... I'll raise a glass and think of you and SWMBO often over the next few weeks as you mourn your loss. |
Donn, my heart goes out to you both. I'm so sorry for your loss. Bev |
What a gorgeous lady, that Sonya. Godspeed, little one. Gina |
Thanks, all. Sonya now has the best spot in the garden. I put her in the exact center of the new mandala bed, where all 6 woodchip paths intersect. It's just about the sunniest place in the garden, and she loved to stretch out in the sun. I laid out a cobblestone star as her marker, with each radian pointing out one of the paths, and the center stone aligned with south. Next Spring, she'll be surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. |
Dear Donn, My heart goes out to you. I lost a wonderful siamese at 6 weeks short of 21! such a loss. Now 11 years later I am patiently waiting for my 21+ year-old calico to cross the bridge. This time we have a place in the woodlands reserved for her. It is such a nice feeling to know she will always be with us in that way. I hope you have other "special friends" to keep you good company in the cold months ahead. Your marker is beautiful. I will have to think of somthing like that to mark her special place as well. I hope you have lots of pics and lots of good memories to get you through. With my sympathy, |
Donn I feel your pain. We lost Midnight, a companion of 19 years , several years ago. Sorry for your loss. Ron |

My tortie Mishka is getting to be a senior as well. My thoughts are with you - it's always so very hard. Donn, when I first heard you were creating a mandala garden/bed - I thought what a great concept. I draw mandalas, so I fully know that the centre is indeed a very special place - what a wonderful idea to lay dear Sonya to rest there. A toast.... Anna |
Believe me you have my condolences. Seems a lot of us here on the forum have had a loss such as lovely Sonya. I'm glad she spent her last few minutes making biscuits with you. Her gravesite is wonderful indeed. I will hoist one for that beautiful creature this evening with my Maggie and Max. |
Very sorry for your loss. Connie |
Oh, Donn - I'm so sorry for your loss :( Such a beautiful kitty. My kitty was 18 when she passed. She had a stroke first (on Christmas day no less). I'm glad Sonya didn't suffer. You found a nice way to honor her in your garden and that will always comfort you. (((HUGS))) Shimla |

Donn My heart, as everyones does, goes out to you. We lost our two, 21 year old cats a year ago, and this last April lost my young 12 year old cat (her brother is still with us). I am sure Sonya knows you love her. I take comfort and hope you will too, that someday our beloved little ones will look up from their playing at the bridge and will be re-united with each of us. Take care and god bless you and your loved ones. |
Donn, I too am so sorry for your loss.I will raise my glass to a beautiful lady.I know from loseing one of my loves,she will always be in your heart and be near.I am glad you put her in your new garden.I have watched your forum and it is indeed a wonderful place to honor her.She will make sure all your flowers will bloom very beautiful for you. moonphase |

Daniel Radcliffe and Our Lady J: The Odd Couple
By Noah Michelson
When the Harry Potter franchise sends the eighth, and final, film adaptation of author J.K. Rowling's multibillion dollar publishing phenomenon to the big screen next summer, expect to hear the collective wail of heartbroken fans echoing throughout cineplexes as the young wizard rides off into the celluloid sunset on his Firebolt broomstick. But don't expect Daniel Radcliffe to join the chorus. Yes, the 21-year-old actor, who was just 12 in 2001 when he donned Harry Potter's trademark circular specs after beating out 40,000 hopefuls for the role, happily sacrificed his teenage years to bring the beloved character to life. But along with the fame, adoration, and monster paychecks came the exhaustion of struggling to maintain his own identity and the mounting pressure to ensure that once Potter was finished, his career wouldn't wither in the long, magical shadow of his fictional counterpart.
That, it seems, is not going to be a problem. Though Radcliffe is in many ways still relatively new to the industry (his first networking trip to Los Angeles took place earlier this year), he's no stranger to unorthodox career choices. He has already made two of the gutsiest moves a teenage screen actor can make: He starred on Broadway (in Peter Shaffer's Equus), and he did it completely naked. Next year, Radcliffe will push even further from his decade-long stint at Hogwarts with a return to the Great White Way in a revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a remake of the 1930 war classic All Quiet on the Western Front, and the lead role in The Woman in Black, a ghost story from the revered (and recently revived) film studio Hammer. These atypical projects suggest an actor who is growing into himself, more attracted to taking risks than playing it safe.
Radcliffe's personal interests are just as unexpected as his professional ones. He has become one of the queer community's most visible allies, speaking out against homophobia and filming public service announcements for the Trevor Project, the leading organization focusing on suicide prevention efforts among gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth. In 2009, when the British tabloids played a salacious guessing game about the nature of his friendship with American trans singer-songwriter Our Lady J, Radcliffe didn't jump to fire off a press release to refute the claims, as many straight young leading men would do. He's better than that. Instead, he simply gushed about how talented he thought she was and left the world to think whatever it wanted about their relationship.
Radcliffe and Our Lady J let Out sit in on a conversation about the upcoming penultimate Potter movie, the thrills and potential hazards of dating when you're one of the world's most recognizable bachelors, and why the actor is earning big points in tranny heaven.
Daniel Radcliffe: Hi, J, how are you?
Our Lady J: I'm very well and you?
DR: I'm very, very well. I've just finished Potter properly yesterday.
OLJ: Did they let you keep the glasses?
DR: Yes! I've got two pairs from the seventh film and the pair I wore in the very, very first movie -- which are really tiny on my head now! So what have you been up to?
OLJ: I've been in L.A., finishing up my album. There are too many distractions in New York. The only thing to distract me in L.A. is the beach.
DR: I was just in L.A. for the first time in my life. I went for the premiere of the fifth [Harry Potter] film, but other than that, I'd never really gone there before. So I went for five days and did my first round of meetings and going to studios. It was very exciting.
OLJ: You just made your first trip to Hollywood?
DR: People seem to have a very bizarre perception of me -- that I'm a Hollywood actor. I don't think of myself that way. And when I was out there and telling people it was pretty much my first trip, jaws just hit the floor. They were looking at me like I had two heads.
OLJ: So I wanted to clear up a couple of rumors, if we may. You are not actually Harry Potter, right?
DR: No, not really.
OLJ: And I'm not the transsexual incarnation of Narcissa Malfoy, right?
DR: [Laughs] No, you are not. I can confirm that neither of those things are true.
OLJ: [Laughs] OK, OK. Good. It's funny because with that little tabloid thing that happened a year ago with us, I actually got all these strange e-mails to my website asking 'What is Harry Potter like?' And I just thought, I have no idea, actually.
DR: It's strange. I think it's a mixture of people who actually do, in some way, think I am Harry Potter and a number of people who can't be bothered to know my name, which is fair enough. I mean, when you've been so identified with one character for so long, it's natural that it should almost become an alias. But I've been encouraged lately to find that people are using my real name more often.
OLJ: You're coming to New York for your second Broadway show, this time a musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. What is it that you love so much about New York?
DR: I love the city as a whole, absolutely, but I love Broadway. And the community on Broadway is something that you hear talked about and talked about by other English actors who've been over there. And you think, Well, OK. How could it be that different or that much better? Because they make it sound amazing. And then you come to New York, and you actually experience [Broadway], and it is like nothing else. We were across the road from Gypsy when we did Equus, and we were constantly hanging out with them after the show, and it was fantastic. And we went and met with the cast from The Seagull and Black Watch a couple of times. It's very, very hard to actually describe why New York is so brilliant. But the community is amazing, and if you get involved with all those events, and you show how much you love and appreciate being there, you really get nothing but generosity and kindness back.

I can hardly believe it's October, not to mention the end of the month. This year flew by...
Where were you one year ago??
What has changed??
Where were you one year ago??
What has changed??
100 lb. Club - This time last year...View Full Version : This time last year... Jenniffer 10-23-2002, 11:48 AM I can hardly believe it's October, not to mention the end of the month. This year flew by... Where were you one year ago?? What has changed?? Jenniffer 10-23-2002, 11:55 AM While I am not happy with my weight change in the last year..as I am weighing more now. I am happy with a few other things... 1. I received my WELL earned raise at work. 2. I moved in my own place, and somehow I am making it, on my own. 3. I adopted a kitty cat. 4. I am finally in therapy. 5. I have started to put my own needs before others. 6. I have become more honest with my feelings. 7. I am spending money more wiser. No, my weight hasn't improved in the last year. And I am struggling daily. I have gained weight in the last year, and as it is sad and depressing, I know that if I had no effort at all in the last year, it could be alot higher than it is right now. I have dealt with alot of changes and chaos in my life in the last year. Many times, I thought I saw the end of it..but something else always came up. Now I understand, there will always be something. This is one thing that I CAN control. And starting today, I WILL! This time next year, I am going to be at goal. I can do it, if I really set out for it. And just do it and not talk about it. HotFlash 10-23-2002, 12:15 PM Well this time last year I was in a wheelchair so ANY place else but there is a good place to be. Unfortunately this year we're dealing with the Beltway Sniper -- it's really starting to take its toll. I have no way to liken this to anything else I've ever experienced. Most us were Cold War babies--that seemed such a distant kind of threat. This is HERE--in my back yard--and I'm not sure how one handles this kind of thing. On a brighter note, this past weekend we spent three days at our farm out in the Shenandoah Valley--it was SO GOOD to be away from a tv!!! It's beautiful there this time of year. If it weren't for my daughter being in school I'd be there right now!! LOL!!! Dyanm1 10-23-2002, 12:49 PM This time last year I was 4 months pregnant, with a 7 month old and 2 1/2 year old. I was over the initial shock of being pregnant and was looking forward to finding out the sex. There was nothing I could do about my weight and wasn't even thinking about it. Yestreday, during some down time, I started thinking. While cleaning out storage I ran across an old journal. It was written when I lived in Utah and was trying to lose weight. In the pic I posted under progress pics, I thought I weighed 220, but in fact, according to my journal, I was down to 205. So anyway, I was figuring out weight gain vs. time frame. So in 9 years, I gained 107 pounds :yikes: :faint: ! Granted, I did have 3 kids during that time. So it figured out to be that I gained about 12 pounds a year, or 1 pound a month! I started this journey at 312 and have lost 48 pounds in about 4 1/2 months, I'm down to 264. At the rate I gained, it would have taken me 2 years, to lose that much weight. I also thought, my gawd....what if I hadn't started this journey :?: ? At the rate I was gaining, I would be 317 right now, and in ten years, at age 45, I would weigh well over 400 POUNDS!! :yikes: SO today, this year, I am so thankful that I FINALLY saw (REALLY saw) what I needed to do, no HAD to do. And next year at this time, I will be at goal and will be in my maintenance phase! bella23 10-23-2002, 12:53 PM Well this time last year I was saying good by to my husband for the year. Things were very stressfull. I'm glad he is back and have my fingers crossed that he won't be sent any place. I did loose 12lbs this year so that is a good thing. They haven't been off for long, but over the last 2 months I have been able to maintain the loss. That is a big accomplishment. Even though it's only 2 months I'm very proud of my self. I also started college this year and am doing good. I love it and can't wait till I get that deploma! (still a long way away, but I can dream, lol) That is my year in a very brief statememt, lol. Bella23 SuchAPrettyFace 10-23-2002, 02:26 PM This time last year I had just met a wonderful man, was :cloud9: . Was juggling 2 more, one is a :censored: :censored:, the other is slowly outta my life. But the one I had just met? After a year it's still :spin: :D Am about 10-15 pounds lighter, have to work on that. Am a lot happier, as last year I lost my grandmother. irishwings 10-23-2002, 03:53 PM Wow, this is a great idea for a post! This time last year, I had just turned 30 and knew I needed to turn my life around. I was stressed, though, getting ready to conduct my first big musical program with choir and orchestra, and to deal, I just kept eating. :burger: (Which is really something because it is so hard to be so overweight as a music director because it's real easy to be self-conscious when I'm up there in front of everyone!) But even that didn't stop the siren song of all that fast food, pizza, Chinese buffet, etc. Ironically I was also much happier in my job back then. . .things aren't going nearly as well in the church where I work nowadays, and I may be changing jobs soon. I weigh more than last year, which really gets me down, but in the personality arena, I'm doing better. I'm not nearly as big a doormat as I have been in the past, I've let go of the notion that everyone has to like me (i.e. my people pleasing compulsion!), and I've slowly begun to realize that I can't (and shouldn't) live my life according to other people's expectations! *whew*! ;) Just think, everyone ~ as we focus on getting healthy and losing the extra weight, we'll all be unstoppable!!! love to all ~ irishwings :lucky: lorelei1 10-23-2002, 07:31 PM thanks Jennifer! I like these reflecting threads, it kind of puts things in perspective. this time last year: 1-me and my husband had only been seperated for close to 3 months and were trying to sell our house. It sold in one month! from beginning to end of putting on market to closing it was less than two months! 2-I weighed 280! From starting at 313 that year. (down 33 pounds then.) Now I am at 251.5 (flucuating by a pound or two) so I am down another 30 pounds from last year at this time!! I would like to say that now, a year later, I am divorced but it takes a while! Even with a "no fault" divorce, it takes time, so it's not official quite yet. It will make a great Thanksgiving present though!:lol: I lost 37 pounds in 2001 and would like to now just do the same this year. I will have to lose 12 more pounds! I can do this!! :) laura AngiKL 10-23-2002, 08:27 PM As many have said, this is a great thread topic. . . This time last year, I was 12 1/2 pounds heavier. I was misdiagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, so I was lying around, mourning this and acting like an invalid. (We went to the Mayo Clinic in Dec. and got a new diagnosis of Fibromyalgia which is much more manageable since I just have a mild case). My life is much much better. Angi anagram 10-23-2002, 08:51 PM A year ago - I was still recuperating from my second knee replacement but I was at a pretty good stage (till I did something dumb to it in Nov that year). I was looking forward to getting my life back on course. But had many concerns with my mother who was just out of the hospital. She's done well since (at 86). I was 20 lbs. heavier than I am now and I had not met my 3FC friends. I wasn't drinking all that water. I was back to water exercising though. Since then, my RA has somewhat gone into remission and I am off one med. I'm now on thyroid med which is helping me feel (and think) a bit better as well. I had concerns about dh's health then; however, those concerns have multiplied this year. These are things that we only can hope to "stabilize". I too am in chaos about the "sniper" because of my dd and her family. When I heard the comment about "your children are not safe anywhere, any time" my heart stood still. Those are my precious grandbabies he's talking about. DD has been understandably stressed (and her dh is away a lot) but overall I've been proud of how she's handling it. My son and his wife are in the area too but not as close to the events so far as my dd. I just want them all to come home. Last year too at this time I was planning an old fashioned Thanksgiving. It was the first time in a long time I had felt able to do the whole scenario and it went well. At this point, I am planning to do the same this year. It was good last year at this time. It's better this year (except for "snipes" as ds calls him). That missing 20 is part of it - maybe I can make it even better by next year at this time. MzPen 10-24-2002, 09:22 AM This time last year my youngest daughter was about 4 months old and my oldest daughter had just finished her first quarter in kindergarten. I was trying to figure out what we were going to do about money ... we were okay at the time because we got an inheritance that got us through, but I knew it wouldn't last forever. My employer and I had talked about my working from home, but business was not going well at that time and they started laying people off so I didn't even have the option of putting my baby in daycare and going back in to work there (something I didn't want to do anyway). I weighed about 265. Now, business is much better and I'm working part-time from home for my old employer (though I still worry about money most of the time!). My daughter is in 1st grade, which is a much bigger challenge, having to struggle to get her to do her homework. I have lost 45 pounds (though I count my starting weight at 255 because had managed to lose 10 pounds without being on a serious pogram - maybe I should re-think that! Isn't it a little more fun to say I lost 45 than 35?). Great thread! Pen 265 /119/150ish AngiKL 10-24-2002, 01:07 PM Pen, DEFINITELY count that first ten pounds. You lost it! You get credit for it!

producing counts that are as accurate as possible when aggregated to various levels of geography.)
People who were not included in the list of census enumerations but should have been are census omissions. Omissions can result from a missed address on the MAF, a missed housing unit in a multiunit residence in which other residences were enumerated, a missed individual in a household with other enumerated people, and people with no residence.
In addition to omissions, erroneous enumerations, and duplications, enumerations in the wrong location can also affect the accuracy of census counts. A count in the wrong location can result from (1) a misunderstanding of the census residence rules and the resulting reporting of someone in the wrong residence—for example, having an enumerator assign someone to the wrong choice from among several part-time residences, and (2) placing an address in the wrong census geographic location (called a geocoding error).
Furthermore, demographic errors, which occur when a person's demographic characteristics are incorrectly reported or assigned and which can also result from an improper imputation of an individual's demographic characteristics, can add error to census counts. For example, if someone's age is misreported on the census form, this adds one tally in error to the count for one age group and subtracts one tally in error for another. However, this does not impact census counts that are not disaggregated by age group.
Erroneous enumerations and omissions contribute to errors in census counts for any geographic aggregate that includes the addresses of the persons involved with those errors. Whether or not errors in geographic or demographic characteristics result in errors in census counts depends on the level of demographic and geographic aggregation for which the census counts are used. The more detailed the geographic and demographic domain of interest, the greater the chance that errors in geographic and demographic detail will affect the quality of the associated counts. For example, placing a person in the wrong census tract but in the right county is not an error for census applications except when one uses census counts below the county level. However, placing someone in the wrong state affects most uses of census counts. Similarly, attributing someone to the wrong age group does not affect overall population counts at any level of geographic aggregation, but it will result in an error for counts by age group.
As touched on above, errors in census counts can result from missing information and the resulting use of imputation for item and unit nonresponse. For example, missing information on the total number of residents in a housing unit can result in imputation of this number, which can add to errors in census counts of the total population for areas containing that housing unit. As described in National Research Council (2004b: 128, Box 4.2) the 2000 census used item imputation, whole-person imputation, and four types of whole-household imputation to complete responses with missing information. The procedure used depended on which persons in a household were and were not census

looks like some sort of a columnea or a goldfish plant. |

I'd suggest yes, it IS a lipstick plant. If you Search for that name & then isolate the Search to Images, you'll see matching pix as I just did. |
I think this may be a nematanthus because of the pouchy looking flower. You might post it on the Gesneriads forum for a definite id. |

It does look like a goldfish/nematanthus plant, I use to have one, but the blooms where stripped. I see them all the time for sale. The lipstick plants I have blooms several flowers together at the end of the branches and have these tube shaped things where long tube shaped blooms come out of...but that was just one of my plants, I'm not sure if all lipstick plants bloom like that. And Goldfish plants get blooms all along the branches one at a time and the blooms are pouchy looking. |

My Lipstick Plant, Aeschynanthus everardii, has flowers at the ends of the stems. My understanding is that they all do. |
This is one of the reasons I very much dislike the names Lipstick Plant, Goldfish Plant and Guppy Plant. These names are used interchangeably with aeschynanthus columnea and nematanthus respectively. The problem comes when people don't use that convention. I've bought columneas that were labeled as a Lipstick Plant when convention is that a Lipstick Plant is an aeschynanthus. I have seen columneas and nematanthus both labeled as goldfish plants. This is why am so much in favor of using Latin names when referring to plants. This is a specially true when it comes to these three species of plants in the Gesneriad family. Will07, I really believe that your plant is a nematanthus. If I had to guess it would be Nematanthus 'Bijou'. Don't quote me on it, but I think it's either that hybrid or a hybrid very close to it. Larry |

The goals for treatment of binge-eating disorder are to reduce eating binges, improve emotional well-being and, when necessary, to lose weight. Because binge eating is so entwined with shame, poor self-image, self-disgust and other negative emotions, treatment needs to address these and other psychological issues.
There are four main types of treatment for binge-eating disorder.
Psychotherapy, whether in individual or group sessions, can teach how to exchange unhealthy habits for healthy ones and reduce bingeing episodes. But definitive scientific research about the benefits of psychotherapy remains lacking. Some studies do show that a few types of psychotherapy may be helpful, including:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy. Some studies show that cognitive behavioral therapy may help a person cope better with issues that may trigger binge-eating episodes, such as negative feelings about one's body or a depressed mood. It may also give a better sense of control over behavior and eating patterns. However, cognitive behavioral therapy hasn't been shown to be helpful in reducing weight. So if people are overweight, they may need additional treatment.
- Interpersonal therapy. Interpersonal therapy focuses on current relationships with other people, which may help reduce binge eating that's triggered by poor relationships and unhealthy communication skills. The goal is to improve interpersonal skills - relationships with others, including family, friends and colleagues.
- Dialectical behavior therapy. This form of therapy can teach behavioral skills to help the person tolerate stress, regulate emotions and improve relationships with others, all of which can reduce the desire to binge eat.
There's no medication specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat binge-eating disorder. Research results about the effectiveness of medications to treat binge-eating disorder have been mixed. Some studies show that combining therapy with medications may be more effective than either treatment alone. But more studies are needed before drawing firm conclusions. However, some studies show that several types of medications may be helpful, including antidepressants, anticonvulsant and anti-obesity medications.

When the sneak attack came, it was swift and merciless. Vinny and Pauly were sitting in the living room, gabbing about dude stuff. "Chicks," said Vinny. "Broads," retorted Pauly. Into the breach waltzed Deena. She moseyed up to the reclining Vinny. She looked mischievous but innocent, like a cherub with a handlebar mustache. "Hi, Vinny!" she said. "Ya like da boobz?" Vin-Vin was distracted…and that's when Special Agent Shnookums struck, mashing cake into Vinny's unsuspecting face. The ol' cake-in-the-face gag! It was just like a Charlie Chaplin movie, except with sound and not as preachy.
"Meatballs 1, Bromance 0!" squealed Deena and Snooki as they fled upstairs. "This is war," proclaimed Generalissimo Vincente. The lads found some puppy excrement, wrapped it up, and set it inside of Deena's pillow. "Deena and Nicole's brains together don't equal mine," bragged Vinny. (Maybe, but as Louis Pasteur always said, "It all looks the same under a microscope.") Vinny didn't count on one thing, though: As he set his fecal trap in Deena's pillow, Bizarro-Snooki herself was actually hiding underneath the bed. She counter-attacked. When Vinny found the stool sample in his pillow, he was furious. "This is war," he proclaimed again.
Now, Vinny started to get clever. He kidnapped Snooki's beloved pet Crocodile, whose name is Crocodilly. (I wonder if Snooki has a whole menagerie of stuffed pets. A snake named "Snakey." A rabbit named "Rabbity." A brontosaurus named "Charlotte Bronte-saurus.") Vinny hung poor Crocodilly off the balcony. Then he sat back in the living room and twiddled his mustache. Soon enough, Snooki noticed that her beloved companion was missing. She searched, and she called his name: "Crocodilly? Crocodilly!" She asked if someone had stolen it. "I didn't take anybody's crocodile," swore poor Ronald, who clearly is tired of being blamed for everything.
Cue the arrival of Uncle Situation. Sitch played the stool pigeon: "Nyeeehhh, I saw somebody take the croc out on the balcony," he said. Vinny felt betrayed. Uncle Sitch was all like, "Umm, it was a lame prank anyways," which proves that Sitch just doesn't understand political satire. Vinny rechristened Mike "The Snitchuation," which is impossible to spell but really rolls off the tongue.
This has been a quiet season for The Situation. Actually, it's been a quiet season for just about everybody except Sam and Ron. Sure, J-Woww broke up with her PayPal-pilfering ex-boyfriend, and Snooki got arrested, and Deena was all like "Ya like da boobz?" But Sam and Ron have so far pulled a robbery on season 3. Everyone else seems to be gilding their resumes for spin-off material. (Just look at Sitch's most memorable line last night: "Some days, I'm Uncle Situation, Doctor Situation, Chef Situation, Bang-Your-Girl Situation. I'm a pretty deep dude." It was like he was trying out for three different reality shows at once. Bang-Your-Girl Situation: The Bachelor. Chef Situation: Celebrity Top Chef. Doctor Situation: Celebrity Surgery, where people who can't afford health care go to an offshore free clinic staffed entirely by fading reality stars and lesser Baldwins).

God Bless,This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
Almost 900 years ago, Pope Innocent II summoned the Bishop of Armagh, in what is now Northern Ireland, to come to Rome. While there, this Bishop purportedly experienced a vision in which he saw the popes from that time until the end of the Roman Catholic church. He recorded his impression of each of the remaining 112 popes in a series of cryptic phrases.
Today, Saint Malachy's vision is called "The Prophecy of the Popes." Written in 1139, it was rediscovered in the Vatican's archives in 1590.
I do not believe Saint Malachy's predictions rise to the level of the Bible's prophecies in either their detail or accuracy. However, his predictions have been remarkable in their own way and bear relevance to the times in which we live.
You see, Saint Malachy's prophecy seems to predict that the current pope, Benedict XVI, will be the next to last pope of the Roman church. After him will come a pope calledPetros Romanos, or Peter the Roman. Malachy appears to indicate that he will be the one who cooperates with the Antichrist, then will be turned upon and destroyed by the leader of the confederacy that rises out of the old Roman Empire.
When you consider the fact that Benedict XVI is almost 86 and in declining health, the world might not have to wait very long to learn if Saint Malachy's final prediction comes true.
The Book of Revelation contains what it calls many mysteries. A mystery in the Bible is something that has not been revealed by God in the past, but is made known to those who are believers and have the Spirit of God teaching them. Now, some of the most important mysteries in the Book of Revelation are found in Revelation 17.
Tune in this week and I'll discuss these Biblical prophecies and how Saint Malachy's extra-Biblical predictions may shed some light on them.
"The Hal Lindsey Report" can now be seen on The Word Network on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. Eastern, 10:30 a.m. Central, 9:30 a.m. Mountain, and 8:30 a.m. Pacific.

The recent discovery in Mexico of a one-eyed albino baby shark has created a stir among scientists and piqued the interest of thousands who have seen the images and questioned the authenticity of the find. The three-foot-long fetus was removed from the body of a large bull shark captured by a commercial fisherman in the Sea of Cortez beyond La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur.
The story broke late last week on the Pisces Sportfishing blog, under the headline, "Freak Shark Puzzles Scientists."
Pete Thomas Outdoors then shared the top right image with two well-known shark experts in California. Both were skeptical at first, suggesting it was some kind of hoax.
One of them jokingly identified the species as a "Cycloptomus" because of a perfectly centered eye located just above the mouth.
But renowned shark expert Felipe Galvan confirmed having seen the shark and stated that he has produced a paper on the discovery, which is under scientific review. "When I have an answer from the journal I will give you more information," he said via email.
The story began to circulate widely on shark-related websites. A post on the Shark Diver blog stated, "The eye is the freaky part and we might have called "Faux Shark" on this one until word that renown shark scientist Dr. Felipe Galvan had seen, studied, and produced an initial paper on this otherworldly animal."
On Sunday, Tracy Ehrenberg, general manager at Pisces in Cabo San Lucas, posted more details after interviewing the fisherman who caught the pregnant bull shark.
It was caught on a large hook baited with ballyhoo, tethered to a line beneath a buoy fixed in place by another line anchored by a sand bag. The shark was dead when it was hauled up, long after the set was made near Cerralvo Island.
It was taken ashore and filleted, a process that revealed nine normal pups and the albino, one-eyed fetus.
"The fisherman told me that this one would have been born first, due to the position it was in — first in line at the exit, but that he doubted that it would have survived," said Ehrenberg, who did not reveal the fisherman's name.
Shark fishing is controversial because so many species are in decline, but residents of fishing villages in coastal Baja communities know of no other way to make a living and rely on whatever bounty they can catch to provide for their families.
Said Ehrenberg, a strong proponent of marine conservation: "It's kind of sad to see a female with pups inside killed but this was taken by a commercial fishing skiff and this is how this fisherman makes his living. All parts of the shark are used, including the skin. The meat is salted and sent to mainland Mexico, where it is usually sold as bacalo or "cod."

About Denmark
High quality production
Danish food tradition

How to buy Danish food in the UK
Frikadeller (Danish meatballs)
Simple to make and tasty to consume, frikadeller can be accompanied by boiled potatoes, red cabbage, and hearty bread.
¼ kilo ground veal (or beef if you prefer, though it's not traditional)
¼ kilo ground pork
One finely chopped medium onion
2 eggs
Butter (unsalted)
Bread crumbs
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper
Mix the ground veal and pork together by hand and spread it all out in a big pile in a bowl. Remove about a third of the meat from the middle of the pile. Fill the empty space half with bread crumbs and half with flour. Add the removed meat back to the mixture. Add the onions and eggs and mix everything together by hand. Add just enough water to make the mixture easily malleable. Let the mixture sit for about an half hour. Form balls and fry in a buttered pan until done.
For the traditional gravy served with the frikadeller, let one tablespoon of butter melt in a pan until it bubbles. Add a tablespoon of flour and form a ball. Cook the mixture until it changes color (I wish I could describe exactly what color you need to achieve). Remove from heat and whisk in just enough milk to dissolve the mixture. Put the pan back on the heat and add 2 more cups of milk. Boil until the mixture thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve the gravy over the meatballs.
Rød Grød med Fløde (literally "red stewed fruit with cream")
The "r" is pronounced like the German "r," the "ø" like the German umlauted "ö," and the "d" is "swallowed" and pronounced somewhere between an "l" and a "th," thus exceedingly difficult to get right by English speakers. It's considered a tongue twister even for native speakers. Luckily, the dish is easier to make than to pronounce and is very tasty. Though red currants are frequently used, I generally use strawberries and raspberries. I learned to make it with frozen fruit, which is frequently the case as the dessert is often served around Christmas, but fresh fruit can be used as well.
500 grams frozen strawberries
300 grams frozen raspberries
4 tablespoons potato starch or corn starch
Fill a saucepan with about ¾" of water. Add the fruit and bring the water to a boil. Allow it to boil for about five minutes. Add some sugar to taste (about 6 tablespoons is generally adequate) and let it all boil again until the fruit gets mushy. Have a taste to see if you're happy with the sweetness and add more sugar if desired. Mash it all together a bit. Bring the mixture to a boil again. Dissolve some corn starch in water. Potato starch is more traditional but not as easy to find. Dissolving is important as if you add the starch without water you'll end up with starch pellets. Add the dissolved starch little by little. Let it boil for a couple of minutes to thicken. Add more starch if necessary to thicken more. The consistency should be smooth but not soupy. Let cool and serve in bowls topped with cream.

JAIPUR: A 23-year-old has been arrested on charge of attempting to break open an ATM of the State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur (SBBJ) located near the SMS Hospital under the Moti Doongari police station area on Friday night. Police said he had tried to rob the ATM to get money for liquor as he was unemployed for the past two months.
"Jitendra Kumar alias Jeetu is a labourer. He had been fired by his contractor two months ago. He is a liquor addict and was out of money," Bharat Singh, the investigating officer, said.
He added he had barged into the ATM on Friday night and tried to break it open.
"The bank has removed security guards from all its ATMs since November 1 leaving them vulnerable to such thefts," Singh added.
"However, he could not succeed. The attempt came to light on Friday morning following which a police team rushed to the spot," the officer said.
The police conducted forensic examination of the spot. "The bank provided us CCTV footages of the night the incident took place and we were able to identify the man. The man, Jeetu, was generally seen near the SMS Hospital and police teams caught hold of him there," said the officer.

The behavior is easier to understand for output ports. If the buffer mode is line, then outputting a linefeed should flush the output buffer (whatever that means); whether a <carriage return>, <next line>, or <line separator> flushes the output buffer is presumably implementation-dependent. For an input port, I believe the intent is that anything that's likely to be translated into a linefeed should fill the buffer from which the textual input procedures fetch their data, so (for example) those procedures will not block on an interactive input port once an end-of-line has been typed. To implement this, you'll probably have to arrange for binary ports to pay attention to the line buffer mode. > For input-ports, the bytes have to > be read and decoded one at a time until an end-of-line marker > is found. But this is more or less what unbuffered IO is. Not quite. When the buffer mode is line, you can decode the bytes twice, once at the binary level and again when the bytes are translated into characters. Since this is all implementation-dependent anyway, and it doesn't hurt to treat any old byte as a potential end-of-line, the binary-level decoding can treat all of the usual suspects as an end-of-line encoding for the purpose of buffering. Some operating systems have a "cooked" mode that basically does this for you, in which case your main problem may be to avoid the "cooked" mode for buffer modes other than line. > For output-ports, and in the case of multibyte eol marker, the > situation is just as bad since the port has to maintain additional > state (e.g. have I seen a <cr> and this is a <lf> or not). Not really. The textual output procedures have to look for a linefeed anyway in order to implement the eol style, so it's no big deal for the linefeed case to flush the buffer. > A related question: what's the rationale for including the > "buffer-mode?" predicate? There is none, just as there is no rationale for the buffer-mode syntax. > 8.2.4. Transcoders. > > Codecs: > What's the endianness of the codec returned by (utf-16-codec)?

You got to give it to the Parisians, they have created their very own distinct styles and it's got some weirdness to it.
New paintings by Tomek - "Croisement" @ Galerie Celal, Paris
Graffiti // Tuesday, March 18, 2014
Last week, the group exhibition "Croisement" opened at Galeri Celal in Paris featuring new work from Tomek, Jeroen Erosie, and Graphic Surgery. While the exhibition focuses on thesimilarities and the differences between these artists who all are equally talented, Tomek's abstract pieces stood out to us. These pieces appear more refined, painterly and cohesive.

Parisian graffiti writer, Tomek, was enlisted by the consulting company Robin Soulier to paint the interior of one of their halls. Tomek painted abstract shapes and tags on to small squares, that were then spread out in the space including the ceiling and floor.The consulting company has also in the past commissioned Sobekcis to paint one of their spaces as well.

Dec 13th 2008 5:44PM Here's a question for you-
I've taken a look at the lvl 80 tailoring BoE sets, each based off a separate cloth.
First, do you think the Ebonweave or Spellweave sets will be better for a mage? Ebonweave has hit and much more int and stamina, but does the haste of spellweave counter that?
Secondly, which cloth (Ebonweave, Spellweave, Moonshroud) do you expect to sell best? I remember in BC the markets were different for all three, and was wondering which specialization offered the best profit.

Does anyone use salvia as a cut flower? There are such beautiful shades of blue in the salvias and since that is such a hard color to find in cut flowers, it would be a welcome addition, besides being perennial.

Teresa, I use a salvia in the spring for cuts but it does not rebloom. It holds up pretty well in the vase, probably 5 to 6 days with flower food. I cant remember the name of it right now, but it is a beautiful neon purple blue that looks really lovely with my campanulas. I would like a variety that blooms throughout the season so any suggestions would be appreciated. Kat |
In the past, I've used annual salvia farinacea (sp?) Victoria Blue, and I did love the color of it, as well as the fact that it was fairly long-lasting. However, it doesn't always attain a good height, being maybe 12 inches, sometimes a bit higher. Okay for smaller bouquets, but when working with larger, taller blooms the salvia comes up a bit short. I bought seed for another annual salvia, Gruppenblau, which I think is supposed to be a bit taller, but never sowed them this year! One good thing about the annual salvias is that there is some rebloom, as well as self-sowing, and some of them even overwinter for me. I've not really tried perennial salvias for cuts. I've only planted one or two and have had trouble getting them to overwinter (which is ironic since the annual ones do, lol). I've always admired the salvias in the catalogs so I don't know why I haven't tried more. Maybe this winter I'll look more closely and place an order - so any suggestions here are welcome! :) |

Since first posting this inquiry, I have found a variety called "Oceana". I put several branches in a vase and they have lasted about a week. My plant broker said the problem with using them as a cut is that they bloom like snapdragons do -- opening up from the bottom and continuing up. It is hard to tell if they continue to open once cut with only the few stems I have. I will be ordering this variety, however, and give it a good trial next year. The beautiful blue color is worth it. You can find a picture of it at the link below. It isn't a great picture (my son took it), but will give you an idea of the color. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Oceana Salvia
Last year, I had Blue Bedder, which is not a perennial in my zone, but it was tall and quite prolific. I had not planned on using it for cutting, but because the stems were so tall and prolific, I used it in a number of arrangements. The blooms are a combination of blue and white and remind me of lavender in their flower form. Teresa |

"Enlightening Encounters: The Parisian Salon and the Mughal Seraglio"
Faith E. Beasley, Dartmouth College
This paper is drawn from my current book project, "Exotic Encounters: Versailles Meets the Taj Mahal," in which I identify and explore the traces that exposure to "les Indes orientales" left on the cultural artifacts and mindset of France's "Grand Siècle" and the early Enlightenment. I focus on the salon of Marguerite de La Sablière, which was a particularly vibrant and diverse intellectual community frequented by some of France's most well known writers, intellectuals, political figures, and philosophers. Some of classical France's most well-known literary works, such as Lafayette's La Princesse de Clèves and La Fontaine's Fables, were produced in La Sablière's salon. I argue that the central figure in this salon, and La Sablière's mentor and tutor was not Jean de La Fontaine, with whom she is usually identified, but François Bernier, who spent over ten years in India from 1659-1669. While a member of La Sablière's salon, Bernier composed his Histoire de la dernière révolution des états du Grand Mogol, published by Barbin in 1670. Later that same year Bernier published a second volume consisting of "Les Evénements particuliers," a text that describes the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's court, and a letter to Colbert regarding India. The following year Bernier published his Suite des Mémoires du sieur Bernier sur l'empire du Grand Mogol, which consists of letters to La Mothe le Vayer, Chapelain, Chapelle, and M. de Merveilles. I recreate the hypothetical but plausible conversations between Bernier and the diverse and prolific group of interlocutors in La Sablière's salon.
To judge by the texts that emanated from La Sablière's salon, one particular conversation was likely devoted to the role of women in both French and Indian society. In this paper I explore this encounter between Paris and Agra/Delhi, focusing on the salon and the seraglio within these city spaces. I argue that the intellectual as well as economic commerce that developed between these female-dominated spaces had an impact on the way India was constructed in the French as well as European imaginary, an impact that was felt well beyond the walls of the salons and seraglios and that affected early Enlightenment thought in ways that have yet to be acknowledged.

Product Comments: Exactly what I was looking for - inexpensive and doesn't look like it. I didn't want all the frills and unnecessary "fanciness" (some would call it over the top cheesy-ness) of the typical "every girls dream" wedding invite. The 3 in 1 came exactly as described and pictured. It was easy to edit and add our own poem on this particular design. Ordering was easy and each step was described. Everything is included in this set (rsvp envelopes, inner envelopes, outer envelopes).

Here's the story I wrote in advance of tomorrow's meeting with Stanford:
As if hosting No. 11 Stanford and No. 8 California this week wasn't challenge enough, the Oregon women face a rescheduled nonconference matchup with Portland on Monday.
At no other point in the regular season will the Ducks play so many games in such a short span. Odds are, if the UO women are going to have anything left for the Pilots on Monday, they'd better get some help off the bench against the Cardinal and Golden Bears.
Should the need arise, UO coach Bev Smith said she'll have no reservation about using her reserves.
"We feel very comfortable and are very confident in our bench," said Smith, whose Ducks face Stanford today in McArthur Court at 7 p.m.
It didn't look that way when conference play began three weeks ago.
During the first week of Pac-10 play, the Ducks split games at USC and UCLA by leaning heavily on their starters. Bench players averaged less than 30 of a possible 200 minutes that weekend, and only one reserve — post Ellyce Ironmonger against USC — played as many as 10 minutes in a single game.
Over the last two weeks, the UO bench is averaging close to 60 minutes per game, as the Ducks (7-9) have won three of four. Starters have provided the vast majority of the production during Oregon's 4-2 start to Pac-10 play, but the weekend in Los Angeles in which the bench supplied only nine out of 129 points has been an exception rather than the norm.
"Roles are being defined, but at the same time we're a team, and at any given moment anyone can step up and play," reserve wing Tatianna Thomas said. "It just depends on what the defense is giving us and who is hot at the moment." Click here for the complete story.

The crash occurred at 7:45 a.m. as the driver was headed northbound, according to 911 reports.
Officials said the driver was trapped in the wreckage, but was eventually freed by Cleveland Fire Department first responders.
Reports indicated he suffered lower leg injuries during the crash. The rig was reportedly carrying grain which spilled during the crash.
AirEvac medical helicopter was dispatched to the scene to aid the driver, who was flown to Erlanger Medical Center for treatment.
Bradley County Emergency Medical Service treated the victim prior to his transfer, according to reports.
- Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons and the Tennessee Highway Patrol's Colonel Tracy Trott are reminding citizens to expect a "No Refusal" and high-visibility, safe driving enforcement campaign during the 2012 Thanksgiving Holiday period.
The "No Refusal" enforcement will begin at 6 p.m., Wednesday, and end at midnight, Sunday.
"THP will be out in full force and will also be assisting stranded motorists, if needed. We want to every driver to make sure they and their passengers are buckled up and arrive safely to their destinations during this holiday travel period," THP Lt. John Harmon said Monday.
The "No Refusal" law allows law enforcement officials to seek search warrants for blood samples in cases involving suspected impaired drivers.
The goal is to deter impaired driving and reduce fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways.
The Thanksgiving Holiday marks the third "No Refusal" enforcement effort, following campaigns over the Fourth of July and Labor Day holiday periods.
Nine people lost their lives on Tennessee roadways during last year's Thanksgiving Day Holiday period.
According to Bradley County Sheriff's Office, 19 people have died on Bradley County roadways, city streets and the Interstate 75 system.
Most of the crash fatalities have been attributed to driver inattention, according to officials with BCSO.

Hello! I have 5 beautiful Japanese pieris mountain fires. They were growing beautifully, and all of a sudden the leaves started turning brown and falling off on one plant. I wasn't worried until the others seemed to be doing the same thing- one after another. Please help! I love these little guys don't know what to do! I've read some websites saying the soil may not be acidic enough and to add distiller vinegar, some saying to use soapy water for insects and others saying to add Epsom salt because they may be lacking in magnesium. I don't want to start adding things without knowing what's wrong. Does this look like a pest problem, root rot? Any ideas? |

And here is the lot of them planted approx. 5 feet apart from each other. I bought them at Home Depot and still have the receipt so if I must return them Under the one year guarantee I will, but I would much prefer to keep them. They are so lovely. |
You're absolutely right to hold off treatments until you know what's wrong. They look as if something quite severe has happened to them suddenly. I don't think it's anything to do with the soil acidity, that would show up gradually. How long have they been in the ground? My first question would be have they been thoroughly watered since planting if it has been dry? My second would be have any chemicals been used near them? Washing that vehicle? Salt for ice? Anything dosed on the lawn (which also looks pretty sick)? |

Hahaha I've always said my neighbor has an awful lawn and he is a landscaper! The lawn hasn't had any treatments that I'm aware of... But who knows? We did suffer some flooding from Hurricane Sandy and there was ocean water that came up our yard, but I thought it might be okay because they actually flowered a little after that. We have been having bizarre weather- Hurricane Sandy, a snowstorm one day- the next day is 60 degrees, etc. do you think I should cut off the stems that have lost all of their leaves?? |
- Posted by jactaylor24 none (My Page) on Mon, Dec 10, 12 at 15:59
Oh they have been in the ground since the middle of September. Otherwise there hasn't been any salt, chemicals, cleaners anywhere near them that I'm aware of. I watered them regularly in September And October but not as often recently as we had the floods and much more rain than normal for this time of year. |

Ken, We did get flooded from Hurricane Sandy. South shore Long Island- then subsequently suffered a snowstorm, and weather that alternates from 30 degrees to 60 degrees any given day. I planted them (my husband dug the hole) and I followed instructions to mix half original soil with half potting soil I bought to throw back in the hole. Our soil is a little Sandy over here and seems to drain well. Thats about it.... The buds on the end look pretty decent and one of my neighbors sliced a small piece of he branch to show me the branches are still alive. Just don't understand why the browning leaves then falling off... What can I do for transplant shock? |

IMHO ... if it were minus 30 to 60.. well .. lol .. do you know how to gauge when to water.. insert finger 2 to 3 inches.. do not water again.. until the soil is dry at 3 inches... and frankly.. that MIGHT NOT BE UNTIL SPRING ... its not a calender or a guessing thing.. insert finger ... when it is dry .. water until it is damp at 3 inches ... i am not happy that you amended the planting hole ... but what can you do now.. if the plants are warrantied.. you do what the warrantor tells you to do .. the future is all in the buds.. i have had evergreen plants.. lose every single leaf/needle the first winter.. and bud out and take off like normal.. the following spring.. just dont drown them.. i dont grow them.. but i am pretty sure .. they will take the minus 17 of z5 MI .. so quit worrying about 30 degrees.. ok??? good luck ken |

I think it is salt water damage. Some plants are very sensitive to halogens (chlorine, flourine, astatine). Also, the damaged roots cannot take up water after the damage, therefore the drought look. Some of the holes filled up more, maybe the dirt was not as packed. Also, the brown on the green leaves is more evidence of chemical damage from the inside. |
- Posted by akamainegrower none (My Page) on Tue, Dec 11, 12 at 5:45
The onshore winds from Sandy were salt-laden. I think this is what has caused the leaf burn and subsequent drop. Salt water around the roots is no doubt another factor. You can try rinsing off the leaves with fresh water and flushing the planting area with it. At this point, however, the damage has probably already been done. On the bright side, I think these plants will probably look quite odd for a while, but will leaf out normally next spring. |
I feel slightly vindicated. Salt - but not from de-icing. I had no idea you were flooded. That would also have messed up the neighbour's lawn. |

Thank you! I will keep watch over them and see what happens next spring. Hopefully they will be okay. |

Anyway,I north facing partial shaded spot That's where the trouble began with a bit too much sun. The foliage gradually turned a yellowish green from a meduim green. It still gave me color in fall but there's something just not right. Growth became so slow and this last winter just made it look like it's bailing. Then I read about low iron can influence color. Wondering if this thing is suffering from low iron. Here's what I'm trying: I 've transplanted it close to a shadier place along the same fence but under a Spartan Juniper. I've found Plant Prod water soluable Chelated Iron at a local building store. I'm giving this a dose now and seeing if things green up.

Can't tell from the photo, but two most likely causes: dried out at the roots. Dig one up and check. Soak and replant if this proves to be the case. Other possibility is lacebug infestation which causes leaves to turn yellow and then ghostly white. Check the leaf undersides. Lacebug nymphs leave shiny, dark speckles of excrement there. Lots of advice for dealing with this pest available online. |

He taught in Quebec for four years, and later (1720-1723) explored the French colonies in America, at the request of the government. For twenty-two years he was an editor of the "Memoires de Trevoux," a monthly journal of bibliography, history, and science. He wrote a biography of Mother Marie de l'Incarnation, and histories of Japan, San Domingo, Paraguay, and Canada. The last (Histoire et description generale de la Nouvelle France) is his most important work, and was translated by John Gilmary Shea (History of New France, New York, 6 volumes, 1866-1872).New Catholic Dictionary

A Note from the Chair about ABET Accreditation of the Engineering Sciences Program
CSUB is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Beyond that, we are actively working towards accreditation by ABET, the accrediting organization for engineering programs. The Departments of Physics and Engineering, as well as the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and the CSUB Administration are fully committed to seeking accreditation at the earliest date possible for all our engineering programs as well as Computer Science.
To be eligible to apply for accreditation, a new program must have a cohort of students who have gone through the entire curriculum (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years), and graduated. After that happens, ABET sends a team to evaluate everything about the program – from the curriculum, to facilities and infrastructure, to the quality of the faculty. If they are satisfied, then the program is accredited – but it will occur at least a year after the students graduate. Once accreditation of a program is granted, it extends retroactively to those students who went through the program in the previous year. Students who graduate prior to this cohort will also benefit from our accreditation efforts, and will be fully-qualified and prepared for careers in engineering, to pursue a license as a professional engineer, and to enter graduate engineering programs.
This is normal procedure, and every program in the world seeking ABET accreditation goes through this process. Indeed, CSU San Bernardino is just now asking for ABET accreditation of computer engineering (which they started in 2008).
I want to assure you that we are doing everything we need to do to be ready to seek ABET accreditation at the earliest date possible – from building new laboratories, and buying state-of-the-art equipment, to hiring world-class new faculty, to developing curricula that address the challenges of the twenty-first century. We want our graduates to have BS degrees in Engineering Sciences that we are all proud of, and are fully useful to pursue employment or further education.
