Mendelian Genetics
Name: Andrew N. Status: Student Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2002
I am currently teaching about Mendelian genetics, and so many of my students do not see the point of it at all. How much of it is used today in labs or by genetic counselors? It seems like it is not considered very important anymore in any high school curricula.
Maybe this tragic example can stir up your class. Recently a genetic disease was diagnosed in an adult male, 45 years old, which leads to brain disorders and is fatal and untreatable. In the past the man had donated sperm to a hospital to treat infertile couples--the standard checks had not detected the disease. From his sperm, 18 children were born. The discovery of his disease resulted in an ethical uproar: should the parents of these children be informed about the risk they run? It was decided to do so before the children reached adulthood, so that they would know if they were carriers. The back side of it: those children know now that their future is grim, for a disease that will only present itself at mid-life.
Treat this example in your class. Let them calculate what % of children were expected to suffer the disease with if the disease were autosomal/recessive etc. Link it to the ethical aspects. The example clearly illustrates how relevant the Mendelian genetics are.
Dr. Trudy Wassenaar
Yikes! I do not know what curriculum you are referring to, but biology is heading in the direction of molecular biology and away from the traditional systems/animals/plants approach in a big way. With the advent of the Human Genome Project, there is so much to know about ourselves and the way we work at the molecular level that there is not enough time in the year to teach it all. Consequently I have an entire year course in genetics that I teach. Look in any high school biology text and look at the number of chapters that are devoted to genetics and you will see this shift. Mendelian genetics is interesting to most kids, just because they have questions about how they got their brown or blue eyes or what the probability is that they can pass on a genetic disease to their offspring. It is important to understand Mendelian genetics in order to understand the importance of DNA and important to understand DNA to appreciate biotechnology issues: cloning, stem cells, genetically modified food, etc. Kids do not always know what is best for them-if it were up to them to pick what they wanted to learn they would usually pick the easiest path. And genetics is definitely not easy.
Mendelian genetics is the basis of all genetics research and discoveries. Many genetic disorders are listed as being caused by a single gene. See OMIM, the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database, at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/. Understanding the inheritance patterns of genes is essential as our knowledge of genetics expands. Without a solid foundation to build our knowledge on, we will not be able to master the nuances and newly discovered facts, or the new modes of inheritance, such as triplet expansion.
As new research takes us into adult diseases and diseases with multifactorial inheritance, students will need a greater understanding of multifactorial inheritance and statistical methods. Nevertheless, this will be in addition to single-gene, or Mendelian, genetics - not instead of.

So what you're saying is that these officers should have somehow managed to run around and get an angle at which they can safely discharge their weapons without putting anyone else at danger? It was a DUI checkpoint, shooting arent supposed to happen there. It's a high traffic area with a lot of possibility for injuries, but why should these officers sit back and possibly have themselves killed at the chance a stray bullet may hit someone else. It's a win lose. You can't critique these men if you haven't been in the same situation. »

Splinter Cell Blacklist Performance Comparison – PS3/Xbox360/Wii U
Lens of Truth has compared all three consoles version of Splinter Cell Blacklist to see which version performs the best. Hit the link to find out.
"In the end we feel the overall better experience belongs to the Wii U. Although, the load times were much longer on the Wii U and the PlayStation 3 textures were slightly more detailed throughout, we still feel that due to the superior performance of the Wii U version not having any screen tearing and texture resolution almost on par with the PlayStation 3, the overall better experience was on the Wii U. Below are the videos for the Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 analysis."
Check out the comparisons and pictures here.

Ok I see… So if that's the case, it was a straight port/No visual optimizations right?
OOoooh! Do you mean that's why the 360 version on the video looks worse? I see what you mean now my bad! Yeah that's a real possibility. Apart from the video I haven't had the opportunity to see it on 360.
Yeah, they didn't install the textures that would have brought it more in line with PS3/Wii U………so it's possible they didn't install the Day 1 patch on the Wii U version.
If they didn't, it would explain why you saw the better textures in the Wii U version compared to the PS3 version, while theirs weren't quite as good.
Ubisoft has done a lot of stupid things (see: Delaying Rayman Legends), but one thing we got to give them credit for is taking the time to make great multiplats. May just consider buying Rayman Legends before it goes "bargain bin".
I have a feeling the extra loading will be used a a big deal in a review which is actually not issue.
The Ps3 textures are higher resolution? No… why did he say that? I mean my brother is a sony fan and he has it on Ps3. I hooked his ps3 up to my LED beauty, and made sure the settings were the same for both the Ps3 and WiiU. Needless to say the WiiU version was much better, very noticeable. The textures were higher rez on WiiU. There was even textures on the WiiU that didn't show up on the Ps3, including things that were just blacked out on Ps3. Oh well. Im still happy to see the WiiU coming out on top regardless. This was just my personal experience with it.
Was there a day 1 patch for the Wii U version when you started it up?
Yes there was, it was 46MB.
That could account for the difference you're seeing. In the H2H they were testing the game "out of the box" which is why the 360 version looks just….not good. The second disc includes an HD texture pack and it never prompted them to install it, so they didn't….and if they didn't do the day 1 patch, it's possible that's why they said the textures were off.
That's what I mean though. They tested it on 360 without the same textures that the PS3/Wii U version have so it came out the worst….and it's possible that the Day 1 Wii U update did some texture stuff to make the textures more "hi rez"…..so that would explain the difference in what you are seeing and what they tested.
To be fair I highly doubt Ubisoft even used the Wii U to its full potential in this port too. Even though it came out on top I reckon much more could have been done.
Blacklist on wii U is a fantastic game. The campaign is really good and plays smooth.The online is having problems on all versions ATM, but i'm sure it will get patched up. This game is definitely worth looking into.
In before Nintendo haters that "God forbid someone says something nice about a Wii U game".
I heard from people on Miiverse saying the exact same thing about Splinter Cell Blacklist on Wii U having better graphics, and less screen tearing than the other console versions of the game. There is no doubt about it. The Wii U version of Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the definitive version.
Why is the 360 version so dark?
It just is. Most games show as very dark on the 360. I'm not sure why they don't try to gamma correct this stuff when comparing, but that's just the default.
To cover up the 'worse textures'.
Well, the damage control warriors are going to be out tonight.

Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
CLEVELAND -- Faced with a rugged road trip against streaking teams, the Minnesota Twins needed something positive to happen.
A strong outing by Mike Pelfrey and just enough clutch hitting did the trick in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Cleveland that stopped the Indians' six-game winning string.Minnesota, which is on a 10-game swing, lost two of three in Detroit and dropped the first two games against the Indians. With a four-game series starting Monday in Boston, which has the best record in baseball, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire didn't want the losses to pile up."It was a good win for us," he said. "No one wants to get swept. We'd like to start winning series. That's our goal. Now we're going to Boston, another team that's playing really, really well and we'll see what happens there."The loss dropped the Indians back to .500, but manager Terry Francona likes the way his team has been playing."When you're going through good periods, you don't necessarily even have to reel off a bunch of wins to feel good about your team," he said. "When your starting pitching is good, you've got a chance to win every night. Guys continue to pick each other up at the plate."Pelfrey, coming off reconstructive surgery on his right elbow that limited him to three games last season, allowed one run in six innings in his longest outing of the season.Trevor Plouffe hit a two-run homer in the second. Justin Morneau drove in a run with a bases-loaded single in the sixth while Joe Mauer, who was in a 5-for-43 slump, added an RBI double in the seventh.Pelfrey (3-3), who allowed nine earned runs in losing his two previous starts, slowed down an Indians lineup that produced 53 runs during the winning streak. The right-hander gave up one run and four hits while striking out seven."It definitely feels better than the last one," Pelfrey said. "At the end of the day, if we win I'm happy. If I had given up four or five runs and we would have won, I would have been OK with it. Winning is the thing I care about the most."Plouffe homered off Corey Kluber (2-1) with one out in the second, his fourth of the season and second in the series. Chris Parmelee was aboard with a walk.Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his seventh save in seven chances. Carlos Santana hit a solo homer with two outs before Ryan Raburn blooped a single. Perkins struck out pinch-hitter Mike Aviles on a 3-2 pitch to end the game.Pelfrey began last season in the New York Mets' rotation, but appeared in only three games before having surgery on May 1. He signed with Minnesota in December. Pelfrey, who matched his season strikeout total, came into the game having allowed 19 earned runs in 22 1/3 innings -- and opponents were batting .356 against him."He threw the ball great," Gardenhire said. "This has been a heck of a comeback. We're still just a year out of the surgery. We're taking small steps. Hopefully we'll keeping progressing."Said Pelfrey: "Things are starting to come together. It was a good day."The Indians' winning streak began last Sunday when Kluber held Kansas City to two runs in seven innings. The right-hander gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings against Minnesota.Jamey Carroll started the sixth with a single before Mauer and Josh Willingham walked. Morneau sent a sharp grounder through the right side that scored Carroll. Although Mauer was held at third, Willingham rounded second too far and was tagged out in a rundown. The mistake proved costly because Minnesota loaded the bases again with two outs before Cody Allen struck out Oswaldo Arcia.Carroll, who reached base three times, drew a two-out walk in the seventh and scored when Mauer's double got past left fielder Michael Brantley, who came up short on a diving attempt.Morneau was in the original lineup at first base, but was moved to designated hitter after telling Gardenhire he "felt a little stiff." Parmelee moved from right field to first and Arcia played right.Josh Roenicke and Jared Burton each pitched a scoreless inning for the Twins, who have the lowest bullpen ERA in the American League.Mark Reynolds' sacrifice fly in the fourth scored Cleveland's first run.Game notes
Indians CF Michael Bourn (lacerated right index finger) will begin a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Monday. He's been out since April 14. Francona said Bourn will play three games on the stint ... Cleveland RHP Vinnie Pestano was unavailable because of a sore right elbow, but Francona expects him to be ready to pitch Monday ... LHP Scott Barnes was recalled from Columbus to give the Indians an extra reliever. OF Ezequiel Carrera was designated for assignment. ...

Led Zeppelin Let Us Down Again, This Time on 'Letterman'
No reunion, boring reason for no reunion, and now a snoozy interview
Here's further proof that universal prestige is the worst thing that can happen to a supposedly rebellious group of artists. First, Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant responded in grumpy-old-man fashion when a press conference about the English rockers' Celebration Day concert film turned toward the possibility of another reunion. More recently, guitarist Jimmy Page revealed a hoped-for reunion tour fizzled for the most mundane reason in the world: Plant "was busy."
Over the weekend, Zeppelin's Plant, Page, and bassist John Paul Jones received this year's Kennedy Center Honors. The full awards show paying tribute to Zep and other winners will air on December 26, with Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz, and Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart among those performing the band's songs. Their host last night, David Letterman, also received an award, but unfortunately their on-air meeting turned out to be a missed opportunity.
Letterman started the show off with a lengthy monologue that came across something like one of those Oscars thank-you speeches where the orchestra starts playing, naming off all of the comedians who honored him over the weekend and recapping President Barack Obama's jokes about the frigid Late Show set. His conversation with Plant, Page, and Jones followed suit. Their talk covered Zep's blues influences, Jack Black's awards-show joke about Viking sex, how exactly Letterman should describe Zep's music (the answer: an unpronounceable rhythmic phrase), and, painfully, "the drummer [who] dies." Also, breaking: Zeppelin's members now wear shirts when they fly on airplanes.
CBS has posted three clips from the interview, which you can watch here. To check out the full thing, fast-forward to about the 16-minute mark in CBS' post of the full episode. Or while it lasts, try the video on the Audio Perv.

Pablo Argente (09.11.2006)
1749 Visitas
Unai, singer for HYBRID, gladly answers this extensive interview dealing with the band's present, past and future shows and plans.
Hello Unai, first of all, the most typical question When and why does Hybrid come into existence? HYBRID was formed by Chus Maestro (drummer) two years ago, when he got in touch with J. Oliver (guitar) from WORMED and UNSANE CRISIS. They intended to start an experimental extreme music project. Then, Miguel (guitar) from HUMAN MINCER, Kike (bass) and me doing the vocals, joined them. The purpose was experimenting and trying new things that maybe wouldnt be accepted by the members others bands.
What does Hybrid sound like? We play polyrhythmic, complex and rather unpredictable music, full of different nuances; we also blend a wide variety of musical influences, so that our songs are varied and sound as a whole in themselves. Our sound is intended to be powerful and a reflection of different emotions and feelings according to the different passages.
Beyond Undeniable Entropy has been recently released, tell us about the recording. It was recorded a year ago by Samuel Ruiz at V.R.S studios. It was a bit hurried and quite stressing, since it was almost impossible to coordinate each members personal timetable. So it was recorded during the free time each of us had. And after sending a preview promo to several labels, the late Deadwrong Records from Madrid finally released our MCD on June 2006.
Are you happy with the final product? Is that the sound you expected? Personally, I expected a sharper sound, a better production, mixing and masterization. There are, for instance, some details from the drums that you can miss. Despite of all this, I think that the quality of the recording is above the average of the national production in this kind of music,
What about the response from the public, press and everything else? At the moment we have got some good feedback, and even more people, labels and publications are interested in us. Up to date, all comments and reviews have been quite favorable. It seems they are pinning their hopes in us. But unfortunately, the style we play is not very popular in this country, and we lack the support from major record labels.
Which is your favorite song? Why? Sleep Of The Defeated has turned out to be our hit according to the public. It is widely requested in our shows, and it seems to be the highest point. It is maybe because its our most complete song: it has technical parts, fast parts, half time dense parts, it has melody too and pure grindcore riffs. It has variety and reflects quite well our intentions.
Is there any common concept related to the band name, design and lyrics? We try to give a meaning to everything, so it works as a whole. The lyrics, the music and the designs are related. The band name may be a reflection of our tendency to fuse different styles inside the extreme music.
It seems some Hybrid members are veterans and have played in several bands. Tell us something about them. We all have been involved in the scene for a long time, organizing and attending to shows, writing for zines and music magazines, broadcasting radio programs and playing in several bands. J. Oliver comes from WORMED, an awesome band internationally renowned thanks to their personal and complex vision of brutal death metal. He also plays in grindcore band UNSANE CRISIS, featuring members of LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER and GATO APLASTADO. Chus has been always playing since he was 17 years old. He played with ANOTHER KIND OF DEATH for 5 years, some months with the vegan metalcore heroes JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, and now he also plays with a metalcore band, ONE LAST WORD, who are about to release a MCD. Miguel plays with HUMAN MINCER, recently signed by Unmatched Brutality, and currently preparing the recording of their third album. I have sung for a band from Bilbao called EVIRUS69 when they started.
How do you deal with the fact that almost every member of Hybrid plays for other two groups at least? Its hard to agree for rehearsals, shows and all that stuff, but our philosophy is to go little by little and enjoy everything we do, without hurries or pressure.
How was the experience of sharing stage with bands like TOOL or DEFTONES in such a big fest like Festimad? Its always nice to be selected for such an event; its somewhat an acknowledgement for the music you create. But it is sad to think about the treatment we received from the organization. Some of us even considered not to perform, but in the end we did it so as to satisfy our friends that came to the event only to watch our set. We did our best in spite of the terrible sound and the coldness of the rest of the public.
And what about the experience of opening for CEPHALIC CARNAGE? It was amusing and quite a pleasure to open for them, especially taking into account that it was our second show, and that theyre one of our main influences. Theyre crazy, but arent dangerous.
What bands have you played with? Which was your favorite show? And any show to regret? We have played live with Moho, Moksha, Louded, Adrift, Nashgul, Looking For An Answer, Disturbance Project, Hindrance you bet Im missing some! I really liked last years Antichristmas Fest, and I would like to forget the Festimad show.
What do you think about the national music scene of today? Regarding bands, shows, zines, musical press, etc are you optimistic or do you think the past was better? I think regretting that any past time was better is pointless. The important thing is to make what you want and trying to evolve. Ive faced a long time ago that the poor musical culture of this country has no solution. The future doesnt exist, we are building it everyday. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. The Fact. is that there are a lot of awesome bands doing interesting stuff here. Those interested already know where to look for and what to do.
Please, recommend us some national and international bands. Spanish bands: Orthodox, Adrift, Apocalypse Empire, NahemaH, and Vórtice. Foreign bands: Intronaut, Misery Signals, Torture Wheel, Spitfire, Despised Icon, The Ocean, Psycroptic, Decapitated, Textures, Gojira
What are HYBRIDs influences according to you? And your personal influences both in general and as a vocalist? There are some common bands we all in HYBRID dig like Gorguts, Napalm Death, Meshuggah, Human Remains, Dillinger Escape Plan, Suffocation, Cephalic Carnage or Hate Eternal, but also stuff like Faith No More o Bauhaus. As a signer, Ive been very much into Kart Schubach of Misery Signals and into Joseph Duplantier of Gojira lately. I like the timbre and ambivalence of their vocals. Ive been always influenced by people like Mike Patton, Tim Williams of Vision Of Disorder or Glen Danzig. I hope to work deeply on the vocals in a near future, and trying new registers. Ive never sung for such an extreme band like HYBRID, and adapting my vocals to their music was hard. Chus helped me a lot with vocal structures and tempos.
Whats the future in the middle/short term for HYBRID? Do you have concerts already scheduled? First, we are focusing on creating the new songs for our next album, which I hope will be recorded before next summer. So at the moment we dont have any gig in mind. On the other hand, we are really busy acting as a label distro to distribute the record and trying to get it out of our borders.
And in the long run ? As a band that only has played in Madrid and its surroundings, it is hard to sign for a major label. Since the contract specifies that you have to tour as much as possible. Besides, major record labels already have loads of stuff with all the bands they have in they rooster. So we actually dont have too many expectations with labels like Relapse, Nuclear Blast or Earache. As long as our albums are released, be it in underground labels or self-edited, we are happy.
If you could chose a fest, which would you like to play at? Hellfest, Brutal Assault Festival I dont know, any in which we were welcome.
And the ideal tour? The prospect of touring abroad, which whatever band is already way too awesome. Id like to support GOJIRA. Theyre good professionals and very nice people. I bet wed have some great fun and learn a lot!
Since you are focusing on your next album, howre things going? We already have 4 new songs and Im working on the vocals. In fact, theyre turning out to be quite complex, dark and really inspired. Furthermore, we are adding more influences to our songs, even from non-extreme music bands. Its the typical statement, but they are way better than the previous songs. We are all the time defining and polishing our sound.
Four of you live in Madrid, but you in Bilbao. How do you create the songs? How can you cope with the distance? Is it worse or better? Its probably worst. The fact that Im not living in Madrid stops us a bit when creating songs. But little by little we are overcoming it. They compose the music, and it is sent to me via the Internet. Then I record my vocals and mix them with the music. When I go to Madrid we try the songs altogether. Its a slow and difficult process. But such is life

There are some intros taken from movies. What do I get if I guess correctly?? Nah seriously, what movies are they from? Do they have any special connection or meaning? I hope we arent fined for copyright!!! All of them have something to do with the lyrics of the specific theme they belong to, or with the general concept of the band. Therere tracks from Possession (Andrej Zulawski), Los Sin Nombre (Jaume Balagueró), Full Metal Jacket (Stanley Kubrick), Blade Runner and Alien (Ridley Scott). Its homage to these directors and these movies, but also evidently there are direct connections with the meaning of the lyrics.
What (kind of) movie should be fit for a HYBRID OST? Experimental surrealist films??? It would be great composing music for films of David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Christopher Nolan, Takeshi Miike, Alejandro Jodorowsky or Vicenzo Natali.
You are walking down the street, and you see one of those guys who sell illegal copies. Among the last mainstream hits of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera you see some illegal copies of HYBRID records (even with full color photocopies of the cover). What would be your reaction like? That would mean I can get a living from music, and I couldnt care less if they sell illegal copies.
And talking about piracy, whats your opinion about it? Thats to say, p2p programs like Emule, soulseek, etc. Are you using any of them? Do you agree with Metallica when they talk about them like the embodiment of evil, or is it a modernized version of tape trading? Its the current tape trading. I use all those programs, and if something calls my attention, I go and buy the CD or the LP, go to their shows and buy merch. Its a great way to spread music, but its going out of hand. Lots of people have more than 300 gbs in their hard drive, and hardly know or have heard what they have. I think some years ago one listened to the records in a more relaxed way and paying more attention. It seems today it has turned into a fast consume: download, hear, erase. Start again.
What do you think about myspace? Has it been useful for the band promotion? Do you feel cooler? Have you flirted with lots of emo kids and girls? It is an awesome tool for promoting a band. If you have a band, but dont have myspace, you dont exist!!! Its a straight way to make contact with labels, bands, promoters, press and potential fans. We have more than 8700 visits. The fact that so many people around the world had listened to your music is a success. We usually avoid adding all that people who makes a myspace profile just to show their pictures and ridiculous profile full of topics regarding films and music.
Well, and before finishing, Id like to thank you for your time. I hope to see you on a stage soon. Heres a little space for you to say whatever you want. Those interested in buying our MCD Beyond Undeniable Entropy, merch or just information, can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fostoria Ruby Red Pitcher Vase in the Heirloom Pattern. Made by Fostoria Glass Company of Moundsville, West Virginia from 1959-1970.
It measures 9 1/2 inches tall to the top of the spout and is 3 3/4 inches across the base. These pitcher vases were hand formed and no two are exactly alike. This one has a lot of character. Looking at it from the side you may notice a little "lean" at the top. Also there is something unusual at the top of the spout. It is not damage. It is something in the manufacturing process. It looks like either some air or debris got in as it was being stretched. Please see photos.

Khloe is Simon Cowell's number one choice to host the new season of 'The X Factor' and momager Kris couldn't be happier. She knows this would elevate Khloe's visibility worldwide and make her an even bigger star than she already is.
Kris Jenner has been pushing for Khloe Kardashian to be the host of the new season of The X Factor since day one. A friend of the Kardashian family tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "Kris is over the moon that Khloe is the front-runner to host The X Factor. She knows that Khloe has what it takes and is just thrilled." HollywoodLife.com has all the EXCLUSIVE details about how Kris feels about Khloe's potential new job.
"It was Kris' idea in the first place to have Khloe audition to be a host on The X Factor, " the friend said. "Khloe has always wanted to be a talk-show host and Kris thinks that hosting The X Factor would be the perfect platform."
As we've previously reported, Khloe and Kris were even thinking about co-hosting a talk-show together. Kris thinks Khloe has amazing interviewing skills and she can get plenty of experience as a host on The X Factor.
"Kris knows that if Khloe gets the job, her popularity will burst and she will become a bigger name than she already is," the friend said." "Kris is also ecstatic because this would mean that Khloe and the rest of the Kardashians would get to hob nob with all the big stars like Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell and all the other famous people who come on the show. And most importantly, Kris wants to include all the behind-the-scenes footage on a spin-off reality show about Khloe's glamorous life!"
Sources connected to the show tell TMZ that "Khloe is definitely #1 among the women who tried out and is generally considered the best in the entire pack of host wannabes. Khloe did a screen test that went over well."
According to the report, Simon believes Khloe makes the most sense in terms of audience draw, since they've already invested heavily in Britney and Demi to attract young viewers.
The host won't appear on the show until next month when it goes live and as we've previously reported, Simon wants one male and one female host to share hosting duties. We wonder who's on the list with Khloe!
Do you want Khloe to host The X Factor, HollywoodLifers?

I think she would be great. Out of all them, she seems to be the most down to earth and honest. She seems approachable and very in-tune to what is going on. She also worked with her father in the entertainment business so she has a head start. I have always been Team Khloe!!! Go get it girl!
Posted at 8:01 PM on September 8, 2012
I think Khloe will end up being a really good host on The X Factor. She seems to be a hard worker and she is obviously more grounded than the other Kardashians. The big thing my officemates at Dish and I don't like is having a non-singer like Britney judging other peoples singing talent. I still want to watch the premier anyway but it's on at the same time as The Voice so I turned on Prime Time Anytime on my Hopper so I can watch both. It automatically records all the prime time shows on the four major networks for me every night. I'm excited to see all the new contestants this season since I thought last season had some great artists.

What — so we can watch Khloe stand there on the stage for x number of minutes and play with her hair the whole time? No thanks. Get that enough on the E! Network shows she's on. So irritating. I would much rather watch Kris Jenner do the hosting. She has the poise and spark and humor and personality to best entertain us. Plus the fact that she's much better looking.

Review to examine price gouging on technology
PUBLISHED: 14 Apr 2014 17:21:00 | UPDATED: 15 Apr 2014 07:31:40PUBLISHED: 14 Apr 2014 PRINT EDITION: 15 Apr 2014The competition review to be run by professor Ian Harper will consider whether regulation is needed to clamp down on price discrimination for information technology products and services.

Laws to prevent consumers being gouged on technology purchases will be considered by a review of national competition policy.
Market dominance by Coles and Woolworths will also be examined, with the review asking for input into whether there are "competition concerns not addressed by existing anti-competitive conduct laws".
An issues paper released on Monday indicates a willingness to recommend additional regulation if it benefits consumers in key markets including technology goods and services, groceries and petrol.
"This is an ambitious and wide-ranging review of Australia's competition laws and policy," said economist Ian Harper, who will lead the government initiated review.
The issues paper asks whether regulation is needed to clamp down on price discrimination for information technology products and services.
"A recent parliamentary inquiry found that Australian consumers and businesses must often pay much more for their IT products than their counterparts in comparable economies, in some cases paying 50 to 100 per cent more for the same product," the paper says.
Noting the Canadian government's plans to introduce such legislation, the issues paper asks how regulation could ensure goods are more fairly priced without limiting choice.
The parliamentary inquiry into IT pricing heard testimonies from Apple, Microsoft and Adobe, which gave a range of justifications for price differences.
The last comprehensive competition review was conducted two decades ago by Fred Hilmer, after which financial deregulation and the lowering of tariffs spurred productivity growth.
The federal government has ordered another review to respond to contemporary challenges, such as globalisation, disruptive innovation and demographic changes. The review will examine "competition issues" in key markets.
"The most oft-cited markets where stakeholders have raised concerns in recent times include the grocery and petrol markets," the paper says.
The Competition and Consumer Act will come under scrutiny and consideration will be given to strengthening its power in relation to conduct which has the "effect" of lessening competition.
The issues paper asks whether infrastructure and other sectors typically dominated by government investment should be opened up.
"There appears to be scope for further reform in the transport, water and telecommunications sectors, among others, in addition to finalising reforms in the energy sector."
These changes might also need to extend to human services including education and training, healthcare, aged care, childcare and public housing.

Quantitative Easing
From The Free Forex Encyclopedia
Central banks' method of increasing money supply by printing new money and purchasing government securities. The process works as follows:
1. The central bank creates a pre-determined amount of money and uses it to buy government bonds in the market.
2. Because this reduces the supply of government bonds, their prices go up. This means that their yields are reduced.
3. The banks that sold the bonds back to the government now have more money to lend. Additionally, since the yield on bonds is lower, banks can also lower lending rates and stay profitable. Lower lending rates encourage consumers and businesses to borrow. These spur activity in the credit market and boost economic activity.
Currency Impact
Higher money supply encourages spending and thus stimulates economic activity. However, an increase in the amount of money in circulation results to a devaluation of the currency. Prices of goods and services will rise, giving rise to inflationary concerns. Depending on the scale of quantitative easing, the rise in prices could erode the value of the currency and undermine the increase in economic activity.

| |||||||
"White & Nerdy" is the second single from "Weird Al" Yankovic's album Straight Outta Lynwood, which was released on September 26, 2006. It parodies the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. The song both laments and revels in nerdiness, as recited by the subject who cannot "roll with the gangstas" because he is "just too white and nerdy", and includes constant references to stereotypically "nerdy" things, such as collecting comic books, playing Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), and editing Wikipedia, as well as stereotypically "white" things, like watching Happy Days, playing ping pong, and "eating all my sandwiches with mayonnaise." It also includes Al at the Renaissance Fair and riding a Segway.
The song itself has won many accolades, including being Yankovic's first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit, peaking at #9. It was also certified platinum by the RIAA, the first Yankovic single to achieve this feat. Chamillionaire himself also stated that he enjoyed the song.
The following tracks are on the single:
The promo single contains only "White & Nerdy".
The following three songs were featured as triple A-sides on a 12" promotional record:
While Yankovic usually records his songs together with his band, the backing tracks for "White and Nerdy" were completely recorded by guitarist Jim West—who handled the synthesizer production—and Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz—who was tasked with recording the drums. The two musicians recorded their specific tracks at their home studios. The finished audio tracks were then brought to Westlake Studio in Los Angeles, California, where Yankovic added his rap vocals.[1] No editing was used for the rapid-fire lyrics.
The single has an accompanying music video, which was recorded in high definition. The video, loosely parodying the video for Chamillionaire's Ridin' and following the song's lyrics, shows Yankovic, dressed as a stereotypical nerd with a button-up shirt, dress slacks, and horn-rimmed glasses (see also Yuppie or Preppie), attempting to fit in with the "gangsters" but instead either scaring them away, causing them to flip him off (shown on the scene where Yankovic is riding on a Segway in the park), or to direct him away from their group and instead towards a herd of other nerds (shown when Yankovic is in a bowling alley). These scenes include shots that directly parody the "Ridin'" video, including similar outfits by both artists. Yankovic is seen at night dancing in front of a set of road flares arranged in the form of Pac-Man, similar to the shot of Chamillionaire in front of the figure of a lizard, his personal logo. Another repeated scene shows Yankovic along with Donny Osmond—the "whitest guy I could think of", according to Yankovic[2]—dancing in front of Schrodinger's equation, mimicking shots of Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone from the "Ridin'" video. Whereas Chamillionaire's video ends with the artist throwing up a gang hand sign to the camera, "White & Nerdy" ends with Yankovic giving a mistaken version of the Vulcan salute (his thumb is against the side of his hand instead of perpendicular).
Further interspersed among these shots are additional shots of Yankovic demonstrating his "white and nerdy" life, some cases depicting more than just the statements in the lyrics. One scene shows Yankovic vandalizing the Wikipedia page for Atlantic Records, replacing it with the words (in excessively large type) "YOU SUCK!", referencing his recent trouble with the company in getting permission to release "You're Pitiful", a parody of James Blunt's song "You're Beautiful".[3] Fans of the video have replicated the action depicted in the video several times.[4] The video shows a fictional Trivial Pursuit card, with questions that include the location of "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota", on what page Harry Potter would die in the next book, and the number of Wicket men there are on a 43-Man Squamish team.[5] Yankovic is shown making a shady deal with a thug in a back alley to acquire a bootleg VHS copy of Star Wars Holiday Special.[6] When Yankovic is on his Myspace page in the video, 'White and Nerdy has 27 friends' can be seen at the top of the computer screen (Bill Gates, Napoleon Dynamite, Mr. Peabody, Albert Einstein, Screech, Frodo, Pee-Wee Herman, and Tom). This is a continuation of his usual trend of putting the number 27 somewhere in his videos. One of all of his sandwiches he spreads mayonnaise on in the video is a jar of "Pest Foods" mayonnaise, parodying Best Foods mayonnaise sold west of the Rocky Mountains as he lives in Lynwood, California, which is located west of the Rockies (the brand is called Hellmann's east of the Rockies). Also, when Yankovic says, "Even made a homepage for my dog, yo," the music video shows a website devoted to his dog, Foofie.
In addition to Osmond, there are other cameos in the video. Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key of MADtv appear in the blue 1967 Chevy Impala convertible at the beginning of the video, two "gangsters" that are scared away by Yankovic's nerdiness. The license plate on the Impala reads "OG4LIFE", a reference to Ice-T's 1991 album Original gangster. Seth Green appears in front of a wall display of action figures; Green has a huge personal collection of action figures (including Star Wars) that are stored in a large storage unit he shares with Hugh Sterbakov. [7] Judy Tenuta, a regular on The Weird Al Show and who previously appeared in "Headline News", appears as the woman who receives a surge protector as a Christmas present. Other actors were personally recruited by Yankovic through a post on his MySpace page, from which he received several interested extras that said they would appear for free.
The comic book store featured in the video is Golden Apple Comics, located in Los Angeles, California,[8] while the Gap store is located on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica.
Also in the comic book store, he is wearing a yellow T-shirt that says "Carl Sagan is my homeboy," a parody of the "Jesus is my homeboy" T-shirt design.
The video was leaked onto YouTube on September 17, 2006, just one day before the video was planned to be officially released at 9 PM Pacific time at AOL.com. Due to the leak, the premiere was canceled, and AOL silently slipped the video onto their website hours before the premiere was set to take place.[citation needed] VH1 started airing the video in "large rotation" on September 20, 2006, and it debuted at #5 on their Top 20 countdown.[9] It is available to watch on Yankovic's MySpace page, as well as on several other video hosting sites and P2P theaters.
Yahoo! Music solicited online members to make a fans-only video for "White & Nerdy". The video was released in late 2006.[10]
On November 2, 2006, Yankovic performed "White & Nerdy" live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. (He rode a Segway as he came on stage.) It was his first public live performance of the song; various background vocals from the original recording are played to allow him time to breathe during the fast-paced lyrics. Since then, however, his band has provided live background vocals. On December 3, he performed the song live at the VH1 "Big In '06" Awards. Yankovic performed the song during his 2007 tour, using a Segway instead of a bike during the performance as in the video, but with different "nerdy" outfits than those used in the video.
The song became Yankovic's first career Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, a record 23 years after his first appearance on the Hot 100 chart with "Ricky" in 1983. It peaked at #9, beating his previous #12 peak for 1984's "Eat It". This was also his first Top 40 single since 1992's "Smells Like Nirvana".[11] It peaked on the Hot Digital Songs chart at #5. Both the song and the music video reached #1 at the U.S. and Australian iTunes Store, and peaked at #1 on VH1's top 20 video countdown. Both "White & Nerdy" and Straight Outta Lynwood were certified gold, and later platinum, by the RIAA.[9] This marks the first time any one of Yankovic's singles has been certified platinum.[12]
Chamillionaire himself put "White & Nerdy" on his official MySpace page, and commented that he enjoys the parody.[13] In an interview, he also stated he was pleasantly surprised by "Weird Al"'s rapping ability, saying: "He's actually rapping pretty good on it, it's crazy ... I didn't know he could rap like that."[13]

About the Author: J. K. Rowling
J. K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born in Gloucestershire, U. K. on July 31, 1965. Rowling attended Tutshill Primary and then went on to Wyedean Comprehensive where she was made Head Girl in her final year. She received a degree in French from Exeter University. She later took some teaching classes at Moray House Teacher Training College and a teacher-training course in Manchester, England. This extensive education created a perfect foundation to spark the Harry Potter series that Rowling is renowned for. After college, Rowling moved to London to work for Amnesty International, where she researched human rights abuses in Francophone Africa, and worked as a bilingual secretary. In 1992, Rowling quit office work to move to Portugal and teach English as a Second Language. There she met and married her husband, a Portuguese TV journalist. But the marriage dissolved soon after the birth of their daughter. It was after her stint teaching in Portugal that Rowling began to write the premise for Harry Potter. She returned to Britain and settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister, and attempted to at least finish her book, before looking for another teaching job. Rowling was working as a French teacher when her book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in June of 1997 and was an overnight sensation. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone won the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Award, and received a Commended citation in the Carnegie Medal awards. She also received 8,000 pounds from the Scottish Arts Council, which contributed to the finishing touches on The Chamber of Secrets. Rowling continued on to win the Smarties Book Prize three years in a row, the only author ever to do so. At the Bologna Book Fair, Arthur Levine from Scholastic Books, bought the American rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for the unprecedented amount of $105,000.00. The book was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for it's American release, and proceeded to top the Best Seller's lists for children's and adult books. The American edition won Best of the Year in the School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Parenting Magazine and the Cooperative Children's Book Center. It was also noted as an ALA Notable Children's Book as well as Number One on the Top Ten of ALA's Best Books for Young Adults. The Harry Potter Series consists of seven books, one for each year of the main character's attendance at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All of the books in the series have been made into successful movies. She has also written Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Tim Cook's Doing Fine, Apple Shareholders Know Nothing
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There is a lot of chatter about Tim Cook these days.
With each passing day, Apple (AAPL - Get Report) seems to hit a new 52-week low. Yesterday, it gave up the spot of "world's biggest company by market cap" to Exxon (XOM - Get Report).
You don't have a steadily shrinking stock price without calls for the head of the CEO. I get that.
Yet, I struggle to understand what the critics are saying should be done by Tim Cook's replacement. What would they do if they were the CEO of Apple today?
Be More like Steve Jobs? Who could be? Isn't that asking the impossible? Anyone taking over Apple after Jobs' death would have been set up for impossible comparisons. Take the current tech rock star of the moment and imagine the post-honeymoon disappointment expressed in the tech blogs: " Larry Page just isn't as dynamic... Mark Zuckerberg lacks the showmanship of Jobs... Marissa Mayer for all her intellect just doesn't seem to have the intuition that Steve showed." Succeeding Steve Jobs is a thankless job. Can you remember which NBC show succeeded Seinfeld on Thursday nights? Me neither. No successor can ever be Steve nor should he or she be. The show must go on without him. Be More Innovative? Again, how? The process of being innovative at Apple or Google (GOOG) or Facebook (FB - Get Report) doesn't rest with one man. It's a process. It's a culture. Ideas come up from the bottom and the top. There is debate, disagreement -- sometimes extremely so -- and better ideas come about. Big new products get introduced once every three years, which means we're due for something new later this year. In the meantime, products get refined and improved. This is a constant and is occurring now at Apple just as it always has. Be More of a Showman? Isn't this more of point one? Cook is who he is. He can get all the communications coaching he wants but he'll never be Jobs. And even if he was, that was just one aspect of what made Jobs special.
Be More Shareholder Friendly? There's a view that, since the stock price keeps going down, there must be something wrong between the shareholders' view of Apple and what the CEO is projecting. Cook must not have shareholders on his side, the thinking seems to go. That's why they're selling now. Therefore, Cook must get them on his side by giving more money to them through a buyback or an increased dividend (or issuing preferred stock).

Born: 1971
The band formed in 1971 when Linda Ronstadt's then-manager, John Boylan, extracted Frey, Leadon, and Meisner from their affiliations. They were short a drummer until Frey phoned Henley, whom he had met at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. The band backed up Ronstadt on a two-month tour, then decided to form their own band, The Eagles.
Their first album, The Eagles, was filled with pure, sometimes innocent country rock; their second, Desperado, was themed on Old West outlaws and introduced the group's penchant for conceptual songwriting.
To record their third album, On the Border, the group selected producer Glyn Johns, who previously worked with Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. The band wanted to rock, but Johns tended to extract the lush side of the band's double-edged music. After completing two thirds of the album with Johns, the band turned to Bill Szymczyk to produce the rest of the album. Szymczyk brought in Don Felder to add slide guitar to a song called Good Day in Hell, and the band was blown away. Two days later Felder became the fifth Eagle. On the Border yielded a #1 Billboard single in the song Best of My Love, which hit the top of the charts on March 1, 1975....

A genetic analysis was undertaken to investigate the mechanisms controlling cellular morphogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sixty mutant strains exhibiting abnormally elongated cell morphology were isolated. The cell elongation phenotype in at least 26 of the strains resulted from a single recessive mutation. These mutations, designated generically elm (elongated morphology), defined 14 genes; two of these corresponded to the previously described genes GRR1 and CDC12. Genetic interactions between mutant alleles suggest that several ELM genes play roles in the same physiological process. The cell and colony morphology and growth properties of many elm mutant strains are similar to those of wild-type yeast strains after differentiation in response to nitrogen limitation into the pseudohyphal form. Each elm mutation resulted in multiple characteristics of pseudohyphal cells, including elongated cell shape, delay in cell separation, simultaneous budding of mother and daughter cells, a unipolar budding pattern, and/or the ability to grow invasively beneath the agar surface. Mutations in 11 of the 14 ELM gene loci potentiated pseudohyphal differentiation in nitrogen-limited medium. Thus, a subset of the ELM genes are likely to affect control or execution of a defined morphologic differentiation pathway in S. cerevisiae.

Hello its tea time! I finally got my computer back from the repair shop.

Just back from skiing and will post on that later but in the meantime I thought I would include a short blurb on green tea so here it goes.... I love green tea. In my past life I drank coffee and black tea. A compilation of advice for using the Low Oxalate Diet for Autism. Oxalate. Calcium oxalate crystals are formed in urine. The relative solubility increases much more with an increase in the oxalate concentration than with an increase in the calcium concentration.
Thus, increased oxalate is likely to cause crystal formation in the urine, and eventually kidney stones. Not all studies of patients with kidney stones have been able to find an increase in urine oxalate or oxalate intake, but the urine oxalate will fluxuate from day to day, and some studies were not done at the time the stone developed. Recipes/Food Lists-Low Oxalate Diet. Food Lists Guide The tabs in this panel contain food charts that show the oxalate content, the GFCF status, SCD status and salicylate content of many foods.
Each individual chart lists the items alphabetically. What is SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet)? In general, I'm not a big fan of the "D" word—diet that is.
I believe you need to find what works best for you, and treat your body as an individual unit. For example, I know I do best with little to no fish and meat, some nuts, yogurt, lots of veggies and fruits, little to no grains, and I must keep the sweets to a minimum. TwoStepsSCD.

I have been using it for ten years, basically since I started the diet. It takes some getting used to. The baked goods do not have the same texture or taste as their flour counterparts, but they can be a good substitute. Now that the SCD has gained popularity there are several cookbooks, websites, and blogs that have almond flour recipes. I will be posting some of my own soon! Beef Stock Recipe, How to Make Beef Stock. 1 Preheat oven to 400°F.
Rub a little olive oil over the stew meat pieces, carrots, and onions. Place stock bones, stew meat or beef scraps, carrots and onions in a large, shallow roasting pan. Roast in oven for about 45 minutes, turning the bones and meat pieces half-way through the cooking, until nicely browned. If bones begin to char at all during this cooking process, lower the heat. Naturopathic Physician on Her Career Choice (Feb/Mar 2005) Introduction Broth, made from the bones of animals, has been consumed as a source of nourishment for humankind throughout the ages.
It is a traditional remedy across cultures for the sick and weak. A classic folk treatment for colds and flu, it has also been used historically for ailments that affect connective tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract, the joints, the skin, the lungs, the muscles and the blood. Broth has fallen out of favor in most households today, probably due to the increased pace of life that has reduced home cooking in general. Far from being old-fashioned, broth (or stock) continues to be a staple in professional and gourmet cuisine, due to its unsurpassed flavor and body. It serves as the base for many recipes including soup, sauces and gravy. Fast Fish Stock: Bonito Broth. And don't worry if you're just getting started — I'll be doing random double- and triple-points days throughout the month so you can catch up.
Bonito broth, or dashi, is a Japanese stock. It is the fastest bone broth you can make. If you're in a hurry to get dinner on and you've run out of homemade stock, throw on a pot of bonito broth and you'll have it ready within 2-4 hours. The length of time that you need to simmer bone broth depends on the size of the bones. Health Promoting Bone Broth (For soups or drinking) « Balance Your Apple. The idea with bone broth is to extract minerals from the bones while enriching the liquid with minerals and vitamins from vegetables.
Choose bones that are from organic or 100% grass raised animals and ask your butcher to cut the bones up for you so that you can see the marrow. Some meat on the bones is a good thing as well. Ask for knuckle bones as well as long bones cut up. The marrow from the bones, the collagen from the joints and the gelatin that forms should all be left in the broth for consumption. For an excellent article on the health benefits and uses for healing go to this link. Fermentation in the gut and CFS - DoctorMyhill. I am most grateful to Dr Henry Butt from Australia for providing essential information!
The normal state of affairs The human gut is almost unique amongst mammals - the upper gut is a near-sterile, digesting carnivorous gut (like a dog's or a cat's) to deal with meat and fat, whilst the lower gut (large bowel or colon) is full of bacteria and is a fermenting, vegetarian gut (like a horse's or cow's) to digest vegetables and fibre. From an evolutionary perspective this has been a highly successful strategy - it allows Eskimos to live on fat and protein and other people to survive on pure vegan diets. Problems arose when humans learned to cook and to farm. This allowed them to access new foods namely pulses, grains and root vegetables - these need cooking to be digestible.

Write a ReviewCayman Bronze Table Lamp
By Claudette D. from The Villages, FL on Mar 06, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I really like these lamps. They look just like the picture. I needed new lamps for our home in Florida to fit in with the new bedroom furniture that has a more "tropical" look or design. I especially like the smaller "footprint" of these lamps rather than the large round lamps everyone seems to be designing these days. The lamps look more expensive than they are.

Tier 1 Application and Feature Performance
Run Business-Critical Applications on vSphere 5 with High Performance and Cost-Saving Consolidation
In a VMmark® 2 benchmark comparison between identical vSphere 4.1 and vSphere 5 clusters, vSphere 5 boasts the following improvements:
- 33% more virtual machines per host
- Twice the number of transactions while maintaining quality of service
- 22% increase in overall VMmark 2 scores (workload throughput) at the saturation of a system's resources
Zimbra Collaboration Server provides a full-featured and robust suite that includes email, calendaring, and collaboration software. Zimbra Collaboration Server in a virtual machine can scale up effectively, and performs within 95% of a physical host. It also scales out effortlessly, with only a 10% drop in Sendmail latency as up to eight virtual machines are added. Zimbra Collaboration Server consumes less than half of the CPU of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 for the same number of users and provisioning time is also orders of magnitude faster.
- Zimbra Collaboration Server Performance on VMware vSphere 5
Hadoop is a distributed software platform for managing and transforming the large quantities of data seen in high performance computing environments. Virtualized instances of Hadoop outperform their physical counterparts by 4% on average. Running two or four smaller VMs on each two-socket machine of seven in the test setup boosts performance by up to 14%.
Key performance requirements for Exchange Server are the efficiency of both single and multiple Exchange Server 2010 virtual machines, and migration using vMotion technology with no measurable impact to end-user experience. For 16,000 very heavy users, transaction latencies are only 184 milliseconds and consume less than 32% CPU utilization on the host. These low latencies for 95% of the mailboxes provide an outstanding response time for Exchange Server users. The low CPU utilization on the host leaves huge room for further user growth.
A monster virtual machine with 24 vCPUs and running on a Fujitsu PRIMERGY server achieves 4,600 sales and distribution users and 25,150 SAPs. This is currently the largest SAP two-tier workload run on vSphere. When the results of this study are compared with those of a test run on native hardware, vSphere 5 displays performance within 6% of its physical counterpart.
1 Million IOPS with vSphere 5
vSphere 5 demonstrates impressive storage I/O capabilities—a single vSphere 5 host is capable of supporting a million+ I/O operations per second. Additionally, 300,000 I/O operations per second can be achieved from a single virtual machine. And I/O throughput (bandwidth consumption) scales very well as the request size of an I/O operation increases. vSphere offers a virtualization layer that, in conjunction with some of the industry's biggest storage platforms, can be used to create private and public clouds that are capable of supporting any level of I/O demands originating from the virtualized applications.
SIOC improves virtualized application performance by regulating access to I/O resources in a shared storage environment. When the workloads of multiple virtual machines contend for the same storage I/O, application performance can be impacted. But SIOC redistributes access to the storage I/O queue through the use of disk shares, so important workloads and latency-sensitive applications get the performance they need. For the test cases executed at VMware labs, a high-priority workload gained an 11% performance benefit when managed by SIOC.

Bachelor fans haven't even seen who Brad Womack picks at the end of this season and already the woman chosen for the 2011 season of The Bachelorette has been announced. Well, it wasn't officially announced by ABC but perhaps someone even more reliable than the network itself: Reality Steve.
Reality Steve announced earlier today that Emily Maynard will not be the next Bachelorette, despite her popularity on the show. At the time of his posting, he had no idea who would be the woman taking center stage later this year but just a little while ago he revealed that it will, in fact, be Ashley H (Ashley Hebert).
I know what many of you are thinking: How can she be named the Bachelorette when she's still on the show? Well, the reality is, she's not on the show anymore. She was kicked off a long time ago (remember, they taped this show in the summer/fall of 2010) and we'll see her departure this week. Ashley H only makes it to the Final 3 on the show before being sent home.
The ladies who were sent home this season will be flying to LA this weekend to film the Women Tell All episode but don't expect any information from Chris Harrison or ABC on Ashley H's news.
Now that you know who the next Bachelorette is, do you think ABC made the right choice?

She is such a farce! She deliberately tried to get kicked off of the final 3 to be the next bachelorette. I think she is shallow and BORing! I won't be watching the next season

Deleting old events
CalenGoo does not contain functions to automatically delete masses of events. To delete events, you have to select them one by one. But if you would like to delete e.g. all old events from your Google Calendar, you can use the Java program here:Start MassDeleteEvents using Webstart
But before you use it, you should download a backup copy of your Google Calendar: Sign in to Google Calendar and click the gear icon in the upper right corner, "Calendar settings", "Calendars", "Export calendars" to download a ZIP file that includes all your personal calendars as ICS files. Unzip the file and ensure that it contains these ICS files.
If you used the Webstart link above, it should start automatically. If it doesn't start, try to double click one the downloaded .jnlp file. And ensure that Java is installed on your computer. If you don't have it, you can install it from http://www.java.com.
After starting it you should see this window:
Enter you email and password and click "Sign in" (if you are using Google's "2 step verification" you have to generate and use an application specific password instead of your normal password). Wait for a few seconds and then select a calendar on the left. Afterward enter a date in the "events before this date" field and click "Search old events":
It will display all old events it has found (except recurring events).
Now select the ones you would like to delete. You can select multiple entries by clicking with SHIFT or CTRL or you can select all by clicking on a single entry and pressing CTRL-A/CMD-A. Ensure that the selected events are really the ones you wish to delete. If you are sure that you selected the correct events, click "Delete all selected events" to delete those events:
Now click "Refresh" in Google Calendar to see if the old events have been removed.

HK Linears that Will plug in are iffy and 2X the price of the superior rotaries. An AS2030L servo for $13 (Retail price) is a great deal. It is a great servo that has a long throw and super strong motor and it plugs right in. The Plug and Play servo @ HK is $6.50, is short throw and will likely burn up in use based on people's experience with them at which point you can cut off the plug and solder it on a $4 HK rotary servo. |

This made me think of buying the parts for the other planes (e.g. circa $25 for the Mustang) and adding the electronics as per details above.
The only missing bit is the motor. They do have it at HK but it is not in stock at the moment. Do you know what kind of motor do these planes use? I saw a couple of brushed micro motors in HK but not sure which one would be... Also, do you know if the electronics and motor are the same for all the Nine Eagles ultra micros (P-47, P-51, YAK54, Spitfire)? |

But the Propshaft only takes the NE adapter/prop, but you might be able to put a brushless prop adapter for a 1.5mm shaft on there and adapt a nose cone. The Bushing size in the NE gearbox is off just enough the the PKZ shaft is too loose to work.. The NE motor fits great into a pkz gearbox, if you need a threaded prop shaft. |

I bought some of the linear servos like the ones @ HK...They were VERY slow compared to the stock HH servos...I modified my V1 Sbach to AS3X and have tried a few rotary and linear servos...None that I tested were even nearly as fast as the HH linear servos...So, I put my Sbach project up on the shelf until my HH linear servos arrive...Yes, they are more costly but this is one of the times you get what you pay for...And I'm pretty much one of the best at trying to find the least expensive route but performs well and lasts...
