Know any teenagers? if so, ask for help...they have better ears! |
Kudzu9, Believe me I could hear it. I also just figured out what it was. It was my APC. I'm not sure how long it was doing it as I had been gone the earlier part of the evening. I wonder what set it off.. I sure hope I didn't damage the battery. I don't want to have to buy a new one as this one wasn't cheap.. I had to order it. If I hear it again I know where to look. Dar. |
I didn't doubt you heard it. I was just making a suggestion based on personal experience! |
APC is actually a UPS. DA |
Sorry.. I just saw APC on it & called it that..that must be who makes them. I just hope I didn't use up too much of the battery life. Kudzu9, It was loud enough to be very annoying & could sure hear it but not as loud as I would have thought it should be. It just didn't register what it was. I was getting ready to unplug the whole works & when I saw the plug.. that's when I went uh-oh I know what it is. If it ever happens again I'll sure know what it is right away.. |
No biggie. It is the same as Magic Marker vs. felt tip pen. DA |
wish I had a magic marker in IE |
MIkie, You lost me there. DA |
Internet Explorer from a couple versions back.. Microsoft had a tool kit.. one of the items was a yellow highlighter I could mark up text with. Easy to find key words or stuff marked with yellow magic marker / highliter. |
Didn't know. Thanks. I will sleep better tonight. :-) DA |
Ditto. The first one was rejected so I republished it. Then both appeared. Go figure. DA |

Generally those universal power supplies scream for a reason. The obvious reason is when the power goes out. The other possibility (depending on the sophistication of the unit) when the power is out of preset parameters to warn you something is amiss. If it is indeed a APC (brand) power supply they have the ability to connect to your computer via a USB cable and a free software provided by APC. That software should give you the status of the unit. As an aside, when the power goes out APC's software calculates the remaining battery life. When the battery level reaches a certain point the software does an orderly shutdown of Windows, which can prevent a host of problems. It's a good feature to have enabled and well worth the cost of a USB cable. |
Mike, Mine is indeed a APC with software. I think with my last one I had something like a balloon in the system tray If that is what it is called where the clock is. I don't see it here. I don't know how to find it & see why it isn't there. I probably have the USB cable. Maybe it is something I should just leave alone :-D Dar |

Robert Pattinson Continues to Distance Career from 'Twilight,' Signs Up for 'Mission: Blacklist'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on May 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBy now, it seems fairly obvious that this year's Cannes Film Festival will serve as a coming out party of sorts for Robert Pattinson, at least, a coming out party for the actor's talents beyond just sucking blood and turning girls into emotion pancakes, as he's been doing for years with his work in The Twilight Saga. The actor's performance in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis looks better with every trailer released, and the film's in-competition premiere at the festival should be a watershed moment for Pattinson. But Pattinson has now added another Cannes-centric project that will help establish him as an actor who is more than capable of breaking out of Edward Cullen's coffin. Pattinson has signed on to star in Jean-Stephane Sauvaire's (Johnny Mad Dog) Mission: Blacklist. The film's script has been adapted from its source material, military interrogator Eric Maddox's (written with Davin Seay) novel "Mission: Black List #1," by Band of Brothers scribe Erik Jendresen. The book is described as "a psychological thriller that details the true, inside story of the search for Saddam Hussein and the interrogator, Eric Maddox, who spearheaded his capture." The film will be sold at the Cannes Film Market by Embankment Films.
Catching Fire: Is the Best Director Always the Better Filmmaker?
Culture Warrior By Adam Charles on April 24, 2012 | Comments (10)Editor's Note: With Landon Palmer busy (read: probably writing a thesis on Sexual Deviancy in John Wayne Films in the Greater Context of Post-WWII America As Seen Through the Work of Southern Filmmakers), the excellent, insightful Adam Charles has stepped in to write this week's entry. Enjoy. Few things have been as equally discussed and deliberated over the past few weeks than that of who Lionsgate was going to choose to take the reigns from Gary Ross to direct the second installment in The Hunger Games franchise. The first film had one of the biggest opening weekends in history (and it didn't even require 3D price-hikes to get there), earned a positive majority from critics, and has a dedicated fanbase that defies demographic lines of fandom; and they're chomping at the bit to see the next adaptation in the series, Catching Fire, as quickly as possible. Neither Lucas, Spielberg, or even Peter Jackson's franchises could replicate just how much of the domestic populous is waiting for the next picture.
'Cosmopolis' Trailer Previews the Violence David Cronenberg Has in Store For Cannes
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 19, 2012 | Comments (4)The first teaser we saw for David Cronenberg's upcoming film Cosmopolis gave us a glimpse of a stylish, violent work that not only looked like a throwback to the disturbing genre pictures the director made his name on, but that also seemed to be taking a page out of the playbook of Gaspar Noé, a director of French films who made waves in the U.S. with a couple of mind-bendingly stylized films in Irreversible and Enter the Void. That was probably enough to get film fans to mark this one on their calendars already, but after the movie was announced as being a big part of this year's Cannes lineup, anticipation for Cosmopolis has reached a fever pitch. Or, at least, that's what its producers are hoping, because they've put some new trailers out to capitalize on the Cannes announcement. This one comes from French site Allocine, and it expands on the colorful visuals and cringe inducing violence of the teaser trailer by giving us a better idea of what the story of this film is going to be about. Cosmopolis seems to be a timely tale, taking advantage of the growing Occupy Movement and the mounting frustrations with the world's richest 1%, as much of the violence we saw in the teaser has now been given the context of being the brutal results of a world rebelling against its ruling class. A ruling class that, in this film, is represented by Robert Pattinson.
Lionsgate's 'Catching Fire' Director Wish List Includes Cuaron, Cronenberg and No Women
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 13, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe Hunger Games was a massive movie, but Lionsgate is definitely appealing to geek credibility when it comes to their wish list covering who should take over the franchise now that Gary Ross is gone. According to the LA Times Blog, that list includes seven or eight names, and none of them are women. The only names they've revealed are serious heavy-hitters – Alfonso Cuarón, David Cronenberg and Alejandro González Iñárritu. All three would be stellar choices. They're icons, visionaries. Of course, this is more than conjecture. This is a theoretical list of random names – not some concrete list of conversations that the studio has had. However, if it's true that the list doesn't include any women whatsoever, it seems like a calculated misstep from Lionsgate – a poor, yet unsurprising oversight.
'Cosmopolis' Teaser Trailer Gets Bottomless, Agressive and Shoots Itself in the Hand
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 22, 2012 | Comments (3)Whoa. Alright. If Robert Pattinson is trying to break out of his mold, he couldn't have picked a better project than David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis. At least if he was looking for a movie where he gets to pee in a car, he picked well. Based on the book from Don DeLillo, the basic synopsis involves a millionaire rocking his way across Manhattan. From the teaser trailer, it looks like 80s-style Cronenberg with a touch of Jacob's Ladder. Fair warning. It's got some large-breasted nudity and some interesting gun violence. If Robert Pattinson was trying to break out of his mold… Check it out for yourself:
Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
Review: 'A Dangerous Method' Stimulates Comically and Thoughtfully, Not So Much Dramatically
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on December 16, 2011 | Comments (3)Do not expect a body horror show from A Dangerous Method. Do not expect someone grotesque mental or physical transformation. Do not expect kinky or unbelievably outlandish sex scenes. Most of all, do not pigeonhole director David Cronenberg. Whatever a "David Cronenberg film" means is a mystery now. Who would've thought the director behind Videodrome and (the very underrated) eXistenZ would go on to make an excellent gangster picture? Certainly not me. Now Cronenberg has tackled a subject that is, in some ways, in his wheelhouse. A Dangerous Method is not a dry or sloggy bio pic, but an entertaining depiction about the clashing of ideals and an exploration of how we tick, as expected. Much of the film focuses on the rise and fall of a rocky relationship between a young and intellectually hungry Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and the older, wiser and sex obsessed Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortenson). Most the script involves Jung and Freud in back and forth conversations about their ideas, which will surely turnoff many viewers. If you are not at all into psychoanalysis and were bored to tears during your sociology 101 class, then this is not a film for you. At one point Freud jokes to Jung, forgive me if I am misquoting the line, "Have you realized we've spoken for eight hours now?", and some may feel those eight hours. For myself, the exchanges between a convincingly conflicted Fassbender and a surprisingly hilarious Mortenson, are funny, intellectually stimulating, and, yes, cinematic.
Movie News After Dark: Obama Gets Ghostbusters 3 Scoop, Star Trek Tech in Your Kitchen and The Anatomy of 'The Artist'
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 28, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a silly little thing. Just a thing that some people read. Nothing special, really, just the world's foremost late-night independent movie news and editorial round-up. You know, the usual. We begin tonight with a picture of President Obama and Bill Murray meeting at the Towson v. Oregon State basketball game this past weekend. I wonder if the Prez got a chance to grill him about all the recent Ghostbusters 3 rumors. We've already submitted a formal inquiry to the White House, with no response as of time of our publishing deadline.
Interview: David Cronenberg on the Essence of Cinema and a Battle of Ideas
Features By Jack Giroux on November 26, 2011 | Comments (1)Ever since its debut at Venice, some have discredited A Dangerous Method as not being cinematic. The film is 99 minutes of nonstop conversations — and not at a brisk pace — regarding psychoanalysts and the collision of different ideas. Those conversations are acted out by Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, and Vincent Cassel, and directed by David Cronenberg. I don't see how that's not cinematic, and neither does Cronenberg. Just because there's no body horror involving Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud (although that would be extremely fun to see) doesn't mean this isn't a "Cronenberg film," a tag that the director himself seems annoyed by. When someone is capable of making films as vastly different as Videodrome and A Dangerous Method, all bets are off about what type of filmmaker you're dealing with. There's a thematic through line in his distinct works, but they're mostly their own beasts. Here's what director David Cronenberg had to say about damaged psychoanalysts, a dramatic conflict of ideas, and why the human face talking is the essence of cinema:
10 Must-See Movies of November 2011
Cinematic Listology By Jack Giroux on November 2, 2011 | Comments (8)Last month the Oscar season officially kicked off, and this month we'll be getting plenty more Oscar baiters and real contenders to add to the mix. We'll get another Brett Ratner film, the 25th film of the decade from Clint Eastwood, another upbeat audience friendly film from Lars von Trier, and the most expected and clichéd, a Martin Scorsese "kids" film. A fairly promising month, right? I've already seen a few films coming out this month, and there's plenty of good-to-great films to see, even one or two that didn't make it on this list. Honorable Mentions: My Week with Marilyn (an extremely enjoyable film with a great performance by Kenneth Branagh), Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, and London Boulevard (a solid anti-cliché gangster film). But here are the names who made it all the way to the top ten:
31 Days of Horror: Videodrome
31 Days of Horror By Jeremy Kirk on October 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWe continue our journey through a month of frightening, bloody and violent films. For more, check out our 31 Days of Horror homepage. Synopsis: "Long live the new flesh!" Good old fashioned body horror courtesy of the master of such things, David Cronenberg. Videodrome stars James Woods as Max Renn, the sleazy president of CIVIC TV, a Toronto-based TV station, "The One You Take to Bed With You". The channel focuses on lower quality content, the kind of stuff we get after 1AM on Cinemax these days. Always on the hunt for something more extreme, more what he calls "tough", Renn believes he's found his station's latest offering in the form of Videodrome, a faux snuff show he has come in possession of. But Renn soon believes he is involved in a global conspiracy when the truth about Videodrome and the people behind it begin to reveal themselves, and Renn's already sick mind deteriorates into hallucinations and madness.
David Cronenberg Says 'The Fly' and 'Eastern Promises' Sequels Are Possibilities
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentTop-tier director David Cronenberg hasn't released a movie in four years, so anticipation to see more of his work is kind of at a fever pitch. I know first hand, as I just tried to buy a ticket to a festival showing of his new 2011 release A Dangerous Method and discovered that it was completely sold out. Why is there so much excitement over Cronenberg releasing a new film? Well, it's because the guy always makes movies that are edgy and cool, and more often than not, they end up also being pretty good. That's why I was interested to hear that Shock Till You Drop got ahold of Cronenberg while he was doing publicity for A Dangerous Method and asked him about the possibility of doing sequels to a couple of his best films, and his responses were encouraging enough that I thought I'd pass the info along. When asked about the rumors circulating a couple of years ago that he was working on a remake of his 1986 sci-fi/horror classic The Fly, Cronenberg revealed that a reboot wasn't exactly the real story, but that something a bit more interesting is a possibility. He explained, "The Fly is not exactly a remake, it's sort of a sequel, kinda. Yeah, that was a thing. I've written a script of that, and I don't know if that's going to really happen, but that has to do with Fox." Watching Jeff Goldblum slowly morph into a slobbery fly creature left a […]
TIFF 2011 Review: 'A Dangerous Method' Isn't Nearly Dangerous Enough
Film Festivals By Marco Cerritos on September 15, 2011 | Comments (4)There are many expectations fans of director David Cronenberg have embraced when he makes a new movie and his ability to surprise is definitely one of them. Not surprises in terms of jump scares but more in the vein of not knowing what you're going to get. One thing is certain, his work is never boring and is willing to go to dark places whether it be psychological (Dead Ringers), sexual (Crash), or spiritual (A History of Violence). Having said that, it's my sad duty to report that the only surprise in his latest work, A Dangerous Method, is his ability to take an intriguing subject (sexual analysis) and make such a tame, limp movie. On paper, the thought of Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung in a duel of wits and sexual psychosis sounds like a film lover's dream. The actors are more than capable of going to extreme places in search of an authentic performance and are only matched in their dedication by their fearless director. So why is it that a movie about the raw and animalistic ways we perceive sex be so neutered and detached from itself?
33 Things We Learned From David Cronenberg's 'The Fly' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on September 15, 2011 | Be the First To CommentTwenty-five years after its initial release, David Cronenberg's The Fly is thought to be a modern classic, a highly effective mixture of science, romance, and terror that pulled in a much greater audience than the horror fans looking for a cheap thrill. Cronenberg has always been a director poised on horror as a higher art, a filmmaker who understands the grotesque and how much it is apparent in real life. Some, myself included, call The Fly his master work, and Cronenberg, a very intelligent speaker about all things, not just his own work, has much to offer the viewers of his film and the listeners of the commentary he provides that film. So here, without any further ado or buzz or flitting around your head or what have you, the things we learned from David Cronenberg's commentary on The Fly.
Reel Sex: 5 Unexpectedly Sexy Sex Scenes
Features By Gwen Reyes on September 14, 2011 | Comments (4)As many fellow conflicted yet faithful Netflix subscribers know, last week marked the beginning of the separation of Instant and disc-only memberships. I had been trying to whittle down my streaming queue for a few months, but we all know that is a nearly impossible task with that devilish recommendation list appearing every time you go to the site's homepage. Suffice it to say, my queue had actually grown since the announcement, making the budgeting decision for me. One of the films at the top of my queue was 2010's long-awaited gay love story I love You Phillip Morris starring the forever not-sexy Jim Carrey and the always delicious Ewan McGregor as two convicts head-over-heels in love with each other. I could spend an entire column writing about this rapid, surprisingly honest and tender romance sprinkled with deception and humor, however my greatest take away from this man on man sexiness was the unexpectedly hot chemistry (and subsequent love scenes) between Carrey and McGregor.
Telluride Film Festival Announces Slate; Includes 'The Descendants,' 'Shame,' and 'A Dangerous Method'
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on September 1, 2011 | Comments (1)This weekend's 38th annual Telluride Film Festival has just announced their slate, including a number of buzzed-about titles from the likes of Cronenberg, Payne, Ramsay, Kaurismäki, Scorsese, Herzog, and McQueen. Telluride differs from other film festivals by keeping mum on its lineup until the day before the festival opens, though speculation runs high in the weeks before opening, with a bevy of well-educated guesses often revealing the festival's top picks well in advance (an example from this year would be We Need to Talk About Kevin, as star Tilda Swinton is a consistent Telluride favorite). The festival will continue to announce additions to its lineup throughout its run. The festival seems to have a taken a number of cues from Cannes and Venice, with Cannes picks The Artist, Le Havre, Footnote, The Kid with a Bike, Bonsai, and We Need to Talk About Kevin showing, along with Venice films A Dangerous Method and Shame. The festival also announced that they will be bestowing the Silver Medallion Awards (which "recognize an artist's contribution to the world of cinema") to George Clooney (starring in The Descendants at the festival), Swinton, and French filmmaker-actor Pierre Etaix. The festival runs this weekend, from September 2 through September 5. Check out the full lineup for the festival's main program, which also includes Albert Nobbs, Living in the Material World, and The Tuirn Horse, after the break.
Cronenberg's 'A Dangerous Method' Trailer Will Excite and Punish You
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 21, 2011 | Comments (6)New Cronenberg means that Christmas comes in September this year, and Christmas Eve happens today with the release of the first trailer for A Dangerous Method. The film focuses on the real-life story of Carl Jung developing his methods with mentorship from Sigmund Freud and getting a little on the side with one of his patients. The drama is heady, and the cast is superb. Michael Fassbender as Jung, Viggo Mortensen as Freud, and Keira Knightley as the mistress Sabina Spielrein. It's Cronenberg doing kinky sex. Check it out for yourself:
Blood, Sweat and Latex: Howling American Werewolves and a Make Up Effects Explosion
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on June 20, 2011 | Comments (5)For those of you new to the column, I am revisiting formative events in my life that have made me what I am today: A Special Effects Make Up Artist searching for relevance in the 21st Century. I left my home in a suburb of Gretna, Louisiana, traveled to Valencia, California where I attended the California Institute of the Arts. I am nineteen… Being in college, in California, in 1981, was like being in the front seat of an incredible roller coaster. Unlike how it was in New Orleans, where I would be lucky if I was able to get a hold of a genre magazine like Cinefantastique because it was not consistently available in news stands, now I felt like I was closer to "the hub" than ever. Magazines, trade papers, Hollywood poster stores, all were up to date with what was happening in motion pictures. There was also the benefit of being in one of the two (or three) "preview" cities for new films. Altered States, for instance, had opened in late November rather than at Christmas time when it opened wide, nationally. This, for a fan and initiate to Make Up Effects, was like being at ground zero.
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with sex symbol and film legend Angie Dickinson, discuss the parasitic relationship between studios and theaters, talk Bellflower's marketing strategy, and play a game we're calling "Co-Directors." Former assistant theater manager, massive film fan, and creative director at Rock Sauce Studios John Gholson explains how studios and theaters work together. He also makes a sex comedy featuring Andy Griffith seem just as enticing as it is in real life. Angie Dickinson has starred in over 50 films, played iconic roles from Rio Bravo to Ocean's Eleven, and she was kind enough to spend some time talking to us about working with Sam Fuller and Frank Sinatra, creating her characters, and how movie-making has changed. FSR's own Culture Warrior (and one of the Talking Heads) Landon Palmer braves a segment where we come up with directors we'd like to see work together, pitch a project for them, and figure out if it has a chance of getting made. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Murder sounds like it could be a massive hit. Plus, our very own Jeremy Kirk matches movie news wits with Peter Hall from Hollywood.com. Who will triumph at the sound of the correct answer bell and who will be forced to narfle the garthok? Loosen up your tie and stay a while. Listen Here: Download This Episode
Short Film of the Day: David Cronenberg's 'Camera'
Features By Scott Beggs on April 19, 2011 | Comments (2)Why Watch? Because David Cronenberg is a master who understood that the camera symbolized death. This short film starts with a very funny shot (just as the kids bring home the old camera they find), and it continues to explore itself until reaching a haunting conclusion. I could talk about it more, but it's Cronenberg, so it speaks for itself. What Will It Cost? Just 6 minutes of your time. Does it get better any better than that? Check out Camera for yourself:

Can robot overlords increase worker efficiency? Research conducted by MIT confirmed that the assumption of control by the robot over human tasks is not only efficient, but also desirable – workers prefer when they receive orders by their robots. Manufacturers and industry have long recognized the benefits of automation in streamlining the process to liberate the people from tedious tasks, but there is always the fear that workers might feel undervalued or exchangeable.
"In our study, we tried to figure out that sweet spot, and to ensure that human labor is satisfied and productive," says project manager Matthew Gombolay, a Ph.D. student at MIT in the "Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL)." "We found that the answer is that the machines should have greater autonomy, it helps people to work together harmoniously with robotic teammates," said Gombolay.
But it's not just that people prefer listening tasks that gave them a robot when it comes to job performance. The robots are also leading the team in a more productive manner than would people could.
"Fully autonomous conditions proved to be not only the most effective for the job, but also as a method where human workers an advantage. Workers are more likely to say they are robots" better understanding "and" improve the efficiency of the team. "
Gombolay emphasizes that giving control of robots does not mean that these cyborgs manage the factory instead of the board but that human-generated algorithm delegate, assign and coordinate tasks.

My group is looking into setting up a bracketed BB:TM tournament, and I was curious if anyone else had tried something similar? Did you alter the number of weeks in a season? Did you make the players stay with one team (provided you had 6 players)? Did you use the tournaments differently?
We have lots of ideas, but I wanted to see if anyone had already tried them, and how it worked.

Microsoft Says Free Software Violates 235 Patents
Re:So then (1217 comments)
But Things like OpenOffice are certainly not specificly MS's IP, Office suites existed (AFAIK) before MS was around. As much as I sometimes would like to think so, not even MS is that dumb...
Samba seems a more likely candidate, I'm not familiar with how all these things work internally, but It strikes me that this thing is no different than an internet connection. In my ignorance, I assume that Samba essentially passes around knowledge of what the filesystem contains, which is no different than if I was hosting a website off of a Windows machine. In fact, if I'm allowed to (S)FTP into a windows box, or run a website which shows my entire filesystem over an intranet, then isn't that isomorphic to Samba? (I use Isomorphic since the given setup is certainly not as useful as Samba, but it does the same job.)
Again, I have no Idea how Samba or any network file system works, but it certainly seems that the argument against it is kindof flat.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
China Interventional Cardiovascular Device Industry Report, 2013-2015
With the accelerated aging, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in China increased year by year. According to statistics of National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China, in 2012 cardiovascular disease deaths in China reached 3.5 million. The fast growing number of heart patients stimulated rapid growth in Chinese demand for interventional cardiac operation and coronary stent. China's PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) surgeries increased from 25,000 cases in 2002 to about 531,000 cases in 2012; the number of coronary stent implantation rose from 40,000 units in 2002 to approximately 640,000 units in 2012. In 2007-2012 China's cardiovascular stent market size grew at an AAGR of 20.3%.
In China, interventional cardiovascular devices are dominated by cardiovascular stent. Currently, the top three companies in China's coronary stent market are respectively MicroPort, Lepu Medical and JW Medical; while supporting auxiliary devices such as catheter and guide wire feature low localization rate, mainly dependent on imports. In 2012, Chinese enterprises accounted for 66.8% of Chinese interventional cardi

To the University of California, Irvine, The Paul Merage School of Business- The petition of the undersigned students of FEMBA 15: Argument: We are drawing on the attention of the digital course readers substituting in place of hard course readers for classes, namely addressing the following issues: - Slow response time of loading the digital course reader (pdf) version specifically navigating through the pages of the file. - Articles of the course reader have been difficult to read as columns of text are placed page by page and not paragraph by paragraph. - Some courses do not allow laptops to be open, therefore, some students end up printing the course readers. As a result, we believe that having a physical copy of the course reader will allow better efficiency for our class and for our courses. Request: Your petitioners therefore request that an option to obtain hard copies at no extra charge of course readers to immediately address these issues.

If your lashes respond well to dry formula mascara, then this will be perfect for you. It is not volumizing, I find it's very lenghtening. It lasts all day too, well I always apply a lilttle bit of powder right under my lower lash line anyway, so I think it helps.
It has a mascara scent which I love, I know I'm so weird hahahaha
I use it mainly at the roots of the lashes and the zig zag out and up. This is a very good mascara for natural looks! :D
AND ALSO, I OFTEN USE THIS ON MY BROWS, IT LOOKS SO NATURAL YET DEFINING. Don't worry, its not gonna get clumpy because the formula in on the dry side.

Great mascara for the price, its a thin - medium buildable formula with a rubber brush that picks out every lash and combs it perfectly. best to curl before applying. when new, the tip of the wand could do with a wipe as theres some product overload however this is normal with a new mascara. i already have long blonde lashes and this formula and brush suits my eye lash type perfectly. a great budget mascara, when it runs out i wash the brush out to keep for combing out other more clumpy mascaras :)

I used to love this mascara, I remember buying it again and again in university. Then I forgot about it for a while, but recently decided to repurchase it.
Now I don't know whether they changed the formulation, or if my preferences or lashes just changed in some way, but I was left disappointed with this. I love Max Factor mascaras - there wasn't one that I didn't like before! - so all the more reason for disappointment.
This does separate my lashes fine, but lengthens them only slightly and gives no volumes (as you'd expect), and also does not hold a curl. I also noticed the formula is not as black as other mascaras out there. I have fairly good medium length lashes, so I also tried this on my mum a couple of times to see if there'd be a difference in performance on her short lashes. Nope, it looked ever worse on her, or rather did nothing to her lashes.
If you're after a VERY natural looking mascara, this may be for you. Otherwise, I can sadly not recommend this anymore.

This mascara does a great job of lengthening my short little lashes. Plus it doesn't clump, which is fantastic. It didn't give me volume, but then again it's not meant to. My lashes looked defined and pleasingly long. I also liked that it was available in 'Black/Brown' as pure black can sometimes look a bit too harsh against my fair colouring. It is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Love this mascara, before this i would have to apply several different ones to get my lashes to look this long. Great for everyday use as lashes look long and naturally full. Stays on well during the day and easy to take off at night
If you want very volumous lashes you may want to add a thickening mascara on top but i think it's fine without it

One of my favorite mascaras, this product looks so natural and doesn't clump. It does a great job of coating individual lashes and giving that false lash effect. However it does not make lashes look fuller.
I also like the fact that it stays put but is very easy to clean off at the end of the day. It is great for a daytime look because it looks so natural. But for night, probably need something that adds more fullness to lashes.

I have a lot of lashes so many of the mascaras I have tried have clumped then together and given the dreaded spider leg effect. Lash extension however has the opposite effect it beautifully defines and lengthens my lashes given a natural look with one coat and more intense but not overly done look with additional coats. I have been asked a few times when wearing this mascara if I have had lash extensions. Not exactly the cheapest mascara on the market but for it's mid range price it delivers high end results. Well worth buying.

This has to be one of my top 5 mascaras. Its quite natural looking, doesn't clump no matter how many coats are applied nor does it give the 'spider lash' look. Its quite cheap too.
Another reason why i love this mascara is how it separates lashes and gives a tiny bit of volume and quite a lot of length.

This is my all time favourite mascara for wearing during the day. I'm not one for massive spidery or clumpy lashes, and if you are, then this mascara is not for you. It provides great length and thickens your lashes without it looking as if you are even wearing mascara. It's so natural, and I much prefer the soft, rubbery brush to some of the hard, bristly ones on the market. I will never stop buying this mascara!

The rationale for pesticide use in agriculture is that costs associated with pesticide pollution are to be justified by its benefits, but this is not so obvious. Valuing the benefits by simple economic analysis has increased pesticide use in agriculture and consequently produced pesticide-induced "public ills." This paper attempts to explore the research gaps of the economic and social consequences of pesticide use in developing countries, particularly with an example of Nepal. We argue that although the negative sides of agricultural development, for example- soil, water, and air pollution; pest resistance and resurgence; bioaccumulation, bio-magnification; and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience caused by the use of pesticides in agriculture, are "developmental problems" and are "unintentional," the magnitude may be increased by undervaluing the problems in the analysis of its economic returns. Despite continuous effort for holistic system analyses for studying complex phenomena like pesticides impacts, the development within the academic science has proceeded in the opposite direction that might have accelerated marginalization of the third world subsistence agricultural communities. We hypothesize that, if these adversities are realized and accounted for, the benefits from the current use of pesticides could be outweighed by the costs of pollution and ill human health. This paper also illustrates different pathways and mechanisms for marginalization. In view of potential and overall negative impacts of pesticide use, we recommend alternative ways of controlling pests such as community integrated pest management (IPM) along with education and training activities. Such measures are likely to reduce the health and environmental costs of pesticide pollution, and also enhance the capabilities of third world agricultural communities in terms of knowledge, decision making, innovation, and policy change.

I have put those hooped tomato cages around my peonies for support this year? Will they work or will the whole thing fall over? I searched for answers but didn't find any. What do you recommend, I've had them for years and this is the first year they've really excelled. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just saw a Martha Stewart Living episode about supports- and she did say that you could use tomato cages. You may have to take snippers to cut them down some tho. As long as the peony grows through the support rings they should hold up. I think. :) |

Parker serves up four HRs to Indians
CLEVELAND – Jarrod Parker's chaotic season doesn't seem to be any closer to sorting itself out after the A's 7-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Monday.
Parker gave up four solo home runs in five innings. Most any normal mid-May ERA would go up with such an effort. Parker's actually went down, albeit marginally, from 7.36 to 7.34.
Seven starts into the season, Parker (1-5) has allowed fewer than four runs only twice. Since April 20, when he turned in his best effort in limiting Tampa Bay to one run (in a loss, no less), he has made three starts and allowed 14 runs (13 earned) in 16 1/3 innings, an ERA of 7.18, which only serves to underscore how statistically dismal his first three starts were.
The A's are unlikely to make an immediate change but probably won't wait much longer for Parker to turn things around. Brett Anderson is due to come off the disabled list in a week, and if Dan Straily is pitching better than Parker at the time, Parker could be the odd man out.
Parker, who said his neck was sore before the game, said following the game his neck has been an issue.
"It's something that's been bothering me for a little bit," he said. "Obviously, those are pitches up in the zone. They're semi-uncharacteristic. I don't think, if I'm feeling 100 percent, they would be in that location."
Parker has given up eight homers in 34 1/3 innings. Last season, he allowed just 11 in 181 1/3 innings.
"It's not like him," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He's a guy you don't expect to get hit. Sometimes he's a little bit wild, but I would say the amount of home runs he's given up is not him. He's had a couple of good starts. He's had some bad starts. He hasn't got to where he's consistent yet."
With the A's muzzled early on by the Indians' Ubaldo Jimenez, the home runs put the A's in a big hole.
That hole was created early as the second and third Cleveland hitters of the game, Jason Kipnis and Asdrubal Cabrera, went deep.
Parker hopes his neck improves but realizes he may need to take some time off.
"We'll see how it feels and go from there," he said. "If need be, it's early, and it's something we don't want to continue and snowball and build into something worse."

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. - James 1:5
God's wisdom comes through alignment of head and heart. I once hired a person because there was a task many felt he could perform, and because I liked him, even though I knew he had personal problems. I prayed for wisdom. My emotions said "Yes," but my mind, "No." I hired him anyway, and he proved to be the wrong person. He was hurt and we suffered. I missed God's wisdom on that matter because head and heart were not aligned. God promises us wisdom when we seek it in His way.

catastrophe theory
catastrophe theory
nounDefinition of CATASTROPHE THEORY
: mathematical theory and conjecture that uses topology to explain events (as an earthquake or a stock market crash) characterized by major abrupt changes
First Known Use of CATASTROPHE THEORY
catastrophe theory
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Branch of mathematics (considered a branch of geometry) that explores how gradual changes to a system produce sudden, drastic results (though usually not as dire as the name suggests). A simple example is how a plastic coffee stirrer subjected to gradually increasing pressure from both ends will suddenly buckle in one direction or another. Other catastrophes include optical phenomena such as reflection or refraction of light through moving water. More speculatively, ideas from catastrophe theory have been applied by social scientists to such situations as the sudden eruption of mob violence.

Portrait of a Siddi Man
The Siddis (Indians of African descent) of Hyderabad are a proud community. The elders love to talk about how their ancestors came to India as freemen, how the Nizam was so impressed by the community's loyalty and valour that he formed a separate regiment called the African Cavalry Guards and how bravely they had fought in the World War II in battles as far Aden. They play the distinctly African instruments- Marfa and Duff and sing in a language they no longer understand. They continue to live in the small quarters that the Nizam had built for them in Masab Tank. They take the train to Ajmer every May and offer a chadar to Khwaja Garib Nawaz. The youngsters enjoy playing Hockey and Football at a ground in Shanti Nagar. They are surprised when I tell them about the Siddis of Gujarat and northern Karnataka. They complain about lack of employment opportunities and show me the small community gyms they built.
AC Guards, Hyderabad. March 2012.

Looking to the past. In early Persian gardens, slim canals were the main feature of gardens where creating a cooling atmosphere was vital in the hot climate. Today, similar water features are used for the same purpose. The addition of fountains on this contemporary raised rill adds movement as they disturb the reflections on the water.
Level rills. Rills are usually very shallow and narrow, used as either a design feature to lead the eye to another part of the garden or as a functional feature to move water from one part of the garden to another. Rills set into a patio or paved area are ideal in gardens used by small children, where safety is paramount. They are also appreciated by wildlife, because the shallow nature of the rill makes it a perfect drinking trough.
Raised rills. When raised above ground level, rills can become more than just a water feature. In the Renaissance gardens of the Villa d'Este near Rome, rills were set into the center of long stone tables so that wine bottles could be cooled in the cold, flowing water. I have seen a modern version of this in Place Kléber in Strasburg, France, where raised wooden rills were built one summer to allow the residents to cool their wine, beer and feet in the heat of a continental summer.
Running water. Rills can be designed as still, contemplative waters or streams of movement. The famous serpentine rill in Rousham, England, was built by the early garden designer William Kent in 1738. It snakes through woods at ground level transporting water through the gardens, ending in a large octagonal pool.
A design feature. Rills can be used solely as a design feature, providing a strong architectual line through a garden, patio or yard. They can define areas and create movement in enclosed areas. This small, raised rill with its minimalistic style and strong lines fits so well into this contemporary design. It is a case where simple restraint in design has worked.
Planting. Rills are well suited to planting marginal water plants. The shallow depth and level of water make them the perfect home for a range of marginals. Architectual plants look the most effective in the formal structure of the rill, and of these I would recommend:
- Scirpus tabernaemontani 'Zebrinus' (Zebra Rush)
- Juncus effusus 'Unicorn' (Unicorn Soft Rush)
- Iris pseudoacorus 'Variegata' (Variegated Yellow Flag)
Rills without planting. As a contrast, here we see a raised wide rill without any plants at all. The rounded cobbles in the base create interest, while the clear, still water reflects the surrounding garden. The raising and separating of the rill by the use of a surround of cobbles makes a real feature of the rill.
The modern look. A series of rills set at angles can run in steps down a slope with each run linked by small waterfalls. The modern rill here uses metal for the troughs that contrasts perfectly against the lush planting. I love the way a feature has been made of the supporting timbers, creating a sculpture in thier own right.
For the smallest yard. Today even the smallest of gardens or yard can enjoy the sound of running water and the delight of sunlight sparkling off the rill. This contemporary water feature provides wonderful movement of water along a vertical and horizontal rill before falling into a formal pond below.
