Ugh, this is embarrassing. I really need to get to bed. I've been on my mom's laptop half the day browsing
this web site and making as many comments as possible. It's just so awesome to find a web site where I can
actually talk to gay teens who are going through the same things as me, instead of some link that redirects
me to some page about gay sex. I mean, I appreciate the fact that there are a lot of websites out there to
help gays and lesbians get a date, but COME ON!! I need to talk with other gay teens that I can relate to,
not get advice about how to, well...
Okay, next subject.
Anyways, I'm dang tired. Argh. I'm probably going to sleep in late, wake up groggy, and get back on this
site as soon as possible. Gah. I'm so weird. And it ROCKS!! :D
i know exactly what u mean, i was on friends name here all day
I keep wanting to start off comments with 'aww' so much! But that is really great that you're enjoying this site and found it! I think it could potentially be a bad thing if this site was more well-known/came up faster on google, since GLBT haters could see it faster. Actually I think that's a bad excuse/complaint, this site helps so much and gay bashers would just be posting words that would get deleted anyway. Be careful on that laptop though if your mom doesn't know about you yet. Delete history and do a good job of it after the fact if you're in the closet.
-J, boy, gay and 16 all the way. Just not out to anyone yet. I guess my sig could use some work.
Yeah, Oasis is a great place...it feels...safe. I searched for I don't know how long before finally finding this site through a site called 'outproud'. What a relief! I'm glad you found it, and that you like it so much, too! Welcome to our little family!

Tax credits a boon to some groups in northwest Kansas

By MIKE CORN
Area nonprofit groups will be participating in the Kansas Community Service Tax Credit Program, taking a slice of the $4.13 million in tax credits available.
One of the awards is for $125,000, which would let the Gove County Health Department move from the city of Gove, which has a population of less than 100 people, to the city of Quinter -- the largest city in the county.
"Gove County will move the county's health department from the city of Gove to the city of Quinter," the Kansas Department of Commerce said in announcing the selections, "in order to provide better and more convenient access to health care services for the majority of the county's residents."
The tax credit program is administered by the KDOC and has been in place since 1994.
"Community Service Tax Credits support the fundraising efforts of organizations that help make Kansas a great place to live," KDOC Secretary Pat George said in a statement. "The non-profits receiving CSP awards serve communities all across our state by providing a wide range of services that enhance the quality of life and create economic opportunity."
These are not cash awards, according to KDOC spokesman Matt Keith, "but tax credits that the non-profits can award to donors who support their capital campaigns."
Projects eligible for tax credit awards include community service, crime prevention and health care. The awards are distributed through a competitive application process.
The requests can be for up to $250,000 in tax credits. Applicants in rural areas with less than 15,000 population are eligible to receive a tax credit equal to 70 percent of the cost of the entire project.
Metropolitan areas can get only a 50-percent credit.
In addition to the Gove County project, the awards include the Logan County Hospital in Oakley, the Russell Senior Citizens Organization, the Scott County Hospital in Scott City and the Kansas Sampler Foundation in Inman.
The $200,000 in tax credits awarded for the Logan County project will be used to raise money to update the hospital building.
The hospital's roof cannot be repaired, requiring the installation of a new roof.
The Russell Senior Center will level, pave and install drainage on its entire south parking lot. Its tax credit award is for $32,000. The project is designed to provide safe off-street parking for seniors, as well as other individuals participating in the community's many activities.
Scott County Hospital will use its CSP award of $160,000 to raise money for the purchase and installation of permanent magnetic resonance imaging equipment. This will help provide improved care for patients, with faster diagnosis and treatment.
The Kansas Sampler Foundation's award of $200,000 in tax credits will be used to raise money to build an online program called Kanstarter, which will be used to help secure funding for community projects and find volunteers.
Kanstarter is designed to help sustain Kansas communities through the project submission process, as well as social media outreach for funding support, KDOC said.

Re: The Official Bash/Question/Make fun of Democrats/Government/Obama Thread
60. Threatening to fire Vikram Pandit as CEO of Citigroup.
61. Threatening to fire anyone the administration doesn't like from any company.
62. Not adopting a dog from a shelter.
63. "The GAO study asserts that officials from most of the states surveyed 'expressed concerns regarding the lack of Recovery Act funding provided for accountability and oversight. Due to fiscal constraints, many states reported significant declines in the number of oversight staff -- limiting their ability to ensure proper implementation and management of Recovery Act funds.' " -- ABC News, 4/23
64. "The National Newspaper Publishers Association named Obama 'Newsmaker of the Year.' The president is to receive the award from the federation of black community newspapers in a White House ceremony this afternoon. The Obama White House has closed the press award ceremony to the press." -- Los Angeles Times, 3/20
65. "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards." -- Attorney General Eric Holder
66. "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any seances." -- Obama, on consulting with only "living" presidents
67. Obama quietly announced that he would not press for new labor and environmental regulations in the North American Free Trade Agreement, going back on a campaign promise.
"One of Obama's most poignant missed opportunities was in not using the historic $787 million stimulus package to reorder state and local government's spending priorities. As states and cities continue to spend ceaselessly and without results on education and healthcare, they're crowding out investments in the physical infrastructure that the private sector needs to rebuild the economy.
"In the stimulus, of the more than $200 billion that went directly to states and cities, nearly 70% went to education and healthcare spending. Only 24% went to infrastructure spending.
69. "The Justice Department is asking the Supreme Court to overrule Michigan v. Jackson, the 1986 Supreme Court decision that held that if police may not interrogate a defendant after the right to counsel has attached, if the defendant has a lawyer or has requested a lawyer. This isn't the first time the Justice Department, under President Obama, has sought to limit defendants' rights." -- TalkLeft blog
70. "By any measure, my administration has inherited a fiscal disaster." -- Obama
71. "Ahh, see. I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here." -- Brushing off questions from the White House press corps
72. On Earth Day, Obama took two flights on Air Force One and four on Marine One to get to Iowa, burning more than 9,000 gallons of fuel.
73. "President Obama's plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs for the treatment of troops injured in service has infuriated veterans groups who say the government is morally obligated to pay for service-related medical care." -- Fox News, 3/17
74. "And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it." -- Obama during his first State Of The Union address. A German invented the automobile
"We're squandering blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Instead of concentrating fiercely on the vital task of destroying al Qaeda and its friends, the Obama administration's determined to erect a modern nation where no nation exists. Afghanistan isn't a country. It's a dysfunctional reservation inhabited by tribes that hate each other. There's no 'Afghan' identity. And even if our blind-to-reality efforts succeeded perfectly, the result would be meaningless.
"Except as a target range where we can gun down terrorists, Afghanistan doesn't matter. Next door, Pakistan matters immensely. But we don't know what to do about it. With 170 million anti-American Muslims descending into chaos as Pashtuns, Baluchis, Punjabis, Sindhis and others claw each other over the country's shabby remains, Pakistan's corrupt president shrugs, its military cowers, its loathsome intelligence services collude with Islamist extremists, and the safety of its nuclear weapons grows doubtful.
"Pakistan may be this generation's chamber of horrors.

One of my best friend's brothers is autistic. He is also a freakin' awesome person to talk to. He's really good with computers, and is really an interesting guy to converse with.
does anyone have personal experiences with autism? We were discussing this in my intro to PSYC class. I cases of autism [aperger's syndrome] in my family, on my dad's side / cousin, but it's pretty far removed. It's a really interesting subject, as far as the whole cognition and language aspects go. Most babies model language (and go through the appropriate stages) in echolalia and babbling. In autistic children, they completely skip these stages from what I've been informed.
From what I'm told about the newborns, they are cold and don't have the need for affiliation that most people do. Does anyone have any personal cases with this?
One of my best friend's brothers is autistic. He is also a freakin' awesome person to talk to. He's really good with computers, and is really an interesting guy to converse with.
My Nephew is autistic.
It's really difficult to describe, you really have to experience it.
And yes, he was...distant, as a baby. He would play by himself and was constantly moving about but never really interacted with people unless he had to.
Other than that he appeared to be developing naturally until he turned two. That's pretty normal though according to what I've been told.
I've known a few grown autistics. One of them lived in an "apartment" at his parents house. His parents were awsome and gave him as much freedom as they could while still keeping an eye on him. Not everyone is able to do that however.
I've actually got Aperger's syndrome, myself.
Like children with autism, children with Asperger's syndrome have difficulty with social interaction and communication, and have a narrow range of interests. However, children with Asperger's have average or above average intelligence, and develop normally in the areas of language and cognition (the mental processes related to thinking and learning). Children with Asperger's often also have difficulty concentrating and may have poor coordination.
I went to serveal pyschologists when I was small, and alot of them throught I had ADHD. I was too young to remember most of it... I just remember going into the old Children's hospital in the city with my parents and my older sister and just playing with toys, reading books and drawing things, and the lady used to give me balloons.
I never knew I had it until actually a couple of months ago, when my mum told me.
Now everything made sense. I've always wondered why I was so shy, why I never had alot of friends growing up (and even now) why I have trouble putting what's actually in my mind into words.
I'm glad that I now know that I've got this, since now I can stop beating myself up over something I can't change.

"Bisshies make Hikari happy"
In my grade, we have a reading buddy program. We go to the elementary schools and read to the younger kids. Well my class got elected to help the autistic kids. My buddy was the best one in the world. Sure he couldn't talk like other kids, but I could always understand what he wanted. Just like the younger brother I never had. People litterally thought he was my brother, too.
Does anyone here know if you can also develop serious speech problems when you're autistic?
I think so... I don't know much about Autism in that way, but autistic kids do usually have communication problems.
I only have Aperger's, which isn't as 'bad' as Autism, but my mum still took me to a speech therpaist when I was young.
So I guess they can really.

Grapefruit is a great addition to The Diabetes Healing Diet. It is bursting with the antioxidants vitamin C and lycopene, which boost immunity and prevent cell damage, as well as pectin, an enzyme that helps control blood sugar.
1. Grapefruit helps prevent diabetic complications. The antioxidants in grapefruit play an important role in combating the damage free radicals cause to cells, organs and eventually entire systems. One grapefruit supplies more than 78% of the Daily Value (DV) for the powerful antioxidant vitamin C. Pink grapefruit is also loaded with another powerful antioxidant, lycopene, which accounts for its rosy color.
Both vitamin C and lycopene boost immunity and prevent free radical damage than can trigger aging, high LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, diabetes and diabetic complications such as cardiovascular disease. Researchers from Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School who performed studies on the health benefits of grapefruit found that eating just one red grapefruit a day helped reduce heart-damaging cholesterol and triglycerides by 17% (white grapefruit came in at 15%).
2. Grapefruit helps control blood sugar. Grapefruit is also rich in pectin, an enzyme that helps moderate wild swings in glucose levels by binding to carbohydrates and slowing their digestion in the bloodstream. Pectin also helps sensitize your cells to insulin and aids in its uptake by producing insulin receptors on the cells. These insulin receptors function as a kind of "doorway" that makes it easier for insulin to do its two-fold job: removing glucose from the blood and ushering it into the cells where it is needed for the body's essential fuel.
3. Grapefruit protects blood vessels. The pectin in grapefruit also helps prevent blood vessels from clogging up with LDL (bad) cholesterol, putting a person with diabetes at risk for cardiovascular disease, as well as poor circulation, loss of feeling and a reduced ability to heal from wounds, which can lead to gangrene and amputation. Researchers at the University of Florida found that the pectin in grapefruit reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol by more than 10%.
4. Enjoy grapefruit with greens. Grapefruit makes a surprisingly sweet addition to salad greens. For a healthy green smoothie, blend up sections of grapefruit with fresh lettuce, parsley, sunflower sprouts, mint and other fresh greens. Avoid commercial grapefruit juice that has been concentrated or loaded with extra sugar, because that will spike your glucose levels. Eat fruit in moderation since fructose is still sugar and affects blood sugar.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Storing Client Files
Your client files contain irreplaceable information. Reconstructing a lost file is a very time-consuming process. In most cases you will never be able to completely reconstruct everything that was in a lost file. Furthermore, you have an ethical duty to protect your client files.
Take the following steps to protect the contents of your client files in your office:
1. Keep active files up to date and well-organized: This will help you find file information when resources are limited and stress is high.
2. Properly store files and documents: Don't leave your files on desks, chairs, the floor, windowsills. Anything left out is more susceptible to theft, fire, water or smoke damage. They should be placed in a fire-resistant filing cabinet.
3. Take extra precautions with irreplaceable documents: Client originals and other irreplaceable documents should be stored in a fire-proof safe (not a fire-resistant one).
4. Don't put critical documents or files on or near the floor: This can help minimize the potential of water damage.
5. Store photographs and negatives separately: Keeping them separate may be a life saver in the event one set is damaged or destroyed.
Closed client files should be stored off-site at a proper storage facility. There are companies that specialize in managing and storing documents. You may also find that having off-site copies of critical, practice-related documents could be helpful if your office is destroyed or can't be accessed. Consider keeping copies of the following documents in a secure, off-site location:
1. Your disaster recovery file and all supporting information (contact lists etc.);
2. Partnership and other firm-related agreements and documents (including minute book);
3. Leases or sub-leases;
4. Insurance policy and broker information;
5. Inventory list, including videotape or photographs if taken;
6. Employee contact list; and
7. Any other important administrative records or documents.

How to Sue for Emotional Distress
Three Parts:Determining Your CaseFiling Your ComplaintWrapping Up the Case
What constitutes emotional distress in the eyes of the law? In most cases you can only sue for emotional damages if the incident in question harmed you physically, too. Emotional distress suits are trickier than other types of lawsuits, so it's important to have a thorough understanding of what it means and where your case will fall before moving forward. If you think you have grounds to sue, hiring a smart, persuasive lawyer will be your best bet for getting the damages you deserve. If you want to know more about how to sue for emotional distress, read on.
Part 1 of 3: Determining Your Case
1Learn about the different categories that fall under the "emotional distress" umbrella. Emotional distress is categorized according to the intent of the person or company responsible for inflicting harm. There are two types of emotional distress: negligent infliction of emotional distress happens when the responsible party exhibited negligent behaviour that caused distress. Intentional infliction of emotional distress happens when the responsible party demonstrated outrageous behaviour that caused distress.[1]
- In the case of negligent infliction of emotional distress, the emotional distress must be shown to be the result of physical injury caused by the person you are suing. For example, you might be able to sue a restaurant for emotional distress if you were served a finger in your entree, you took a bite and became sick, and you suffered emotional issues around eating afterwards.
- In the case of intentional infliction of emotional distress, you must be able to prove that the offending party intentionally or recklessly demonstrated outrageous and extreme conduct. Physical injury must also be a factor. For example, you might have a case for intentional infliction of emotional distress if your neighbour intentionally started a fire in your garage with the intent to kill you, and you started having panic attacks that led to fainting. In this type of situation the physical injury is a direct result of emotional distress.
Ad -
2Determine what role physical injury played in your situation. Emotional distress suits are almost always related to physical injury. The way this plays out differs a bit from state to state in the US, but it's usually a given that in order to have a case, you must have experienced physical harm or at least have been threatened with physical harm. Before you sue you need to sort out how your emotional distress is related to physical symptoms.
- In cases of negligence you must prove that you experienced physical harm that led to prolonged emotional symptoms. So if a restaurant served you a finger in your entree, causing you to become physically ill the day you ate the meal, you would only be able to sue for emotional distress if you could prove that the incident caused you such anguish that you experienced physical symptoms for a prolonged period of time afterwards. Proof that your physical and emotional distress are connected is needed.[2]
- In some states you can sue for emotional distress as a third party, such as when your child or someone close to you is the person who got physically harmed in an incident that occurred right in front of you. Your case will be more solid if you were also physically injured or at least experienced the threat of injury. In order for these types of cases to stand, you must be closely related to the victim, and you must prove that the emotional stress you experienced as a witness exceeds that of a random bystander.[3]
3Hire a lawyer to clarify where your case will fall. Because emotional distress suits have so many grey areas, it's a good idea to talk with a lawyer to determine whether or not you have a case. Before you meet with your lawyer, write down your account of what happened, taking careful note of cause and effect with regard to emotional distress and physical symptoms.
- Have a detailed account of physical symptoms you've experienced as a result of extreme emotional distress. Note changes in your sleep patterns and eating habits. Bring medical records showing how your health changed after the incident.
- If you don't have account of physical symptoms related to your emotional distress, you might still have a case, but it will be a lot tougher to prove that your issues are directly connected to the incident in question. Symptoms of severe emotional distress like extreme social anxiety or paranoia that go on for a long period of time may be sufficient to collect damages.[4] Ask your lawyer about whether you have a case even though you have no proof of related physical symptoms.[5]
- Even if you have a good case, it might not be worth it to sue. Talk with your lawyer about what the damages will amount to and decide whether you want to incur the fees, time and mental energy it will take to move forward with the lawsuit.
Part 2 of 3: Filing Your Complaint
1Make sure you still have time to sue. Each state has statutes of limitations on different types of offences that specify how long you have to take action after the incident occurred. Emotional distress falls under the "personal injury" category, and in most states the statute of limitations for suing for personal injury is 2 years. Look up the statute of limitations for personal injuries in your state to make sure you've still got time.[6]
2Figure out where to file your suit. If you and the defendant are from the same state, that's where you'll file. If you're from different states, in most cases you will still file in the county where the incident in question occurred. Talk with your lawyer to make sure you file in the right venue.
3File your complaint. Work with your lawyer to fill out your complaint, paperwork detailing the incident in question. Be sure to make it as thorough and detailed as possible. You can fill out the forms on your own, without a lawyer, but it's very important that they be filled out correctly, so it's best not to do it on your own. File the complaint with the courthouse to start the personal injury lawsuit process.[7]
4Begin the "discovery" process. This is the process in which both sides, the plaintiff and the defendant, find out as much information as possible in order to argue their sides of the case. Your employer may be contacted by the other party's lawyer, for example. Your lawyer will also perform research to make sure you have plenty of information about the other party.[8]
- You might be asked by the other party's lawyer to give a deposition. You'll be interviewed about the incident that occurred as well as your personal history. You will probably be asked questions about your past medical issues, in particular.
5File motions with the court. Each side has the chance to file motions to dismiss certain evidence, admit more evidence, or dismiss the case entirely. Your lawyer should decide whether to file motions, and how to proceed if the defendant files a motion. The court will rule on the motions before the case proceeds.
Part 3 of 3: Wrapping Up the Case
1Consider reaching a settlement agreement. If the other party and yourself are willing to settle the case by reaching a mutual agreement, you won't have to take it to trial. Since personal injury trials can be lengthy and expensive, it's generally considered better to settle out of court instead. You'll talk with your lawyer about the right decision for you.
- You may meet with a legal mediator as a way to negotiate an agreement that will satisfy both parties.
- Your lawyer and the defendant's lawyer will also talk throughout the process in an effort to reach a settlement agreement. Your lawyer should keep you informed about the process.[9]
2Go to trial if necessary. If you were unable to reach a satisfactory settlement agreement with the defendant, the next step is to go to trial. There you will be called to discuss your case in front of a judge, and use evidence, witnesses and information you have at your disposal to prove that you have a case for emotional distress. The jury will decide whether you will receive compensation and how much you will receive.Ad
We could really use your help!
acting mature?
- The defendant(s) have a specific amount of time, such as 28 days, to file a written answer to your emotional distress lawsuit. If they don't file an answer, then you automatically win (after filing a motion for default and obtaining an order of default; the process varies from state to state). If an answer is filed, then you may proceed to a court hearing.

Model of Bohr Model
Name: John Status: educator Age: 50s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Thursday, November 28, 2002
Every year I have my 8th grade science students build a 3D atom model of their choice. They must show electrons in their correct energy level and a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons. This is a Bohr type model built mainly to acquaint the student with the 3 basic subatomic particles. Although this is not a scale model I suggest the electrons be smaller than neutrons and protons. A father claiming to be a physicist claims that I cannot model the neutrons and protons as separate particles. He insists that the models can only show a nucleus with the numbers of protons and neutrons marked on it. Am I making a major atomic mistake here?
His assertion is news to me. I have always addressed them as distinct nucleons. Is he suggesting that neutrons and protons are somehow being "formed" (for example) at the instant a radioactive nucleus decays?
Regarding scale: In so far as diameter (not mass) is concerned, electrons are much larger than either protons or neutrons.
ProfHoff 519
Technically, the father is correct. If we could stand inside the nucleus, we could not say the proton is over there to the right, the neutron is down, and so on. Protons and neutrons are composite particles consisting of quarks, gluons, and other sub-atomic "goblins". HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE OBJECTIVE OF YOUR TEACHING, AND YOU ARE NOT MAKING A MAJOR MISTAKE IN YOUR APPROACH.
You are teaching the basics of atomic theory. The positively charged "core" of the problem is that the mass of an atom is concentrated in a very small space and the negatively charged electrons are "smeared" over a much larger volume. FYI the classical radius of a FREE electron is 2.817940285x10^-15 meters = e^2/mc^2, but within an atom it loses this "particle" aspect and behaves as though it is a standing wave, but even this is too advanced for your audience (probably, unless you have some gifted kids who are going to challenge you for a more detailed MODEL of the atom -- that's a bigger, different problem).
The Bohr model has a spell-binding history, and was a major advance in physics of the early 20th century. It does account for some very critical experimental data -- it explains the visible-UV spectrum of a H atom (at least the major part). Even here high resolution spectra showed some multiple lines, rather than single lines predicted correctly by the Bohr model. The Bohr model had to be modified and so on.
You have to teach your students tinker toys before you train them to be architects. I think you are right on target. The many subtleties are for a later course on atomic physics.
Vince Calder
If you want to be perfect, you cannot model the electrons in circular orbits. Consider what you are trying to show before you evaluate your model.
A "real" atom has never been seen. Electron microscopes can "see" electric fields around atoms. Perhaps they can see electric fields around nuclei. They do not see the atom in the strictest sense. If you want to show a real atom, you need a "cloud" of protons with a variety of oscillations: out and in, hot dog-shape and hamburger-shape, .... You need these oscillating clouds for both protons and neutrons. The clouds are all centered in the same place, the center of the nucleus. There is no exact border. As you get further from the nucleus' center, it just gets more unlikely to find a proton or neutron at any time. Still, it is not completely impossible.
Electrons also orbit in clouds around the nucleus. Each has its own distribution. Some can be just about anywhere. Some have preferred locations: rings, figure-8 shaped orbits, at least four different sets. It is possible for an electron to spend a little time passing through the nucleus. The AVERAGE distance is very far out. That is where the rings come from.
If you show the protons and neutrons arranged in a compact ball-shape, you are not actually that far off. Something like a standard crystal structure works. Just do not make a circle of 8 protons on top of a circle of 8 neutrons for oxygen. A better shape for the nucleus is a solid sphere. Carbon balls in the pattern of coal would work quite well.
As for size, you cannot be accurate in a visual model. A common description is the following: a nucleus is a pea at the center of a football stadium with the electrons at the goal posts. A visual model does not try to show that. It usually tries to show that the electrons are separate from the nucleus and that the number of protons match the number of electrons. You can also use it to show why you need more neutrons in larger atoms. Too many protons "in contact" with each other would blow the atom apart. The neutrons help hold the protons together.
Dr. Ken Mellendorf
Physics Instructor
Illinois Central College
You are doing fine. Everybody's idealized view of a nucleus is of a collection of neutrons and protons, and this picture contains the first information one should have about a nucleus. If I were to refine this model of a nucleus, the first thing I would think about would be subcollections of nucleons within a nucleus, e.g., alpha particles. The last thing I would think about doing is erasing all details of nuclear structure and replacing this visual information with numbers.

But compiling there wasn't no electricity in our whole flat. Booting after, there was a successfully check of my harddrive. But trying to compile the kernel a second time there come errors.

Word processing alternative
Create documents using this free word processor.
Atlantis Nova offers an alternative word processor to users who are fed up with Word or Notes. While it does a good imitation of some better-known software, ultimately its only appeal will be to those unhappy with other word processing software.
Atlantis Nova should look and feel familiar to anyone who has used Microsoft Word, as its interface mimics that program's, though in a rather cluttered form. Users will also feel comfortable composing with Atlantis Nova, as it operates just like any word processor, too. You can create and edit documents using a long list of tools and options, such as choosing fonts, sizes, paragraph setup, tabs, bullets, and other useful features. One thing that really hurt its overall performance was the lack of a spell-checker, which is pretty much an essential feature in a word processor. It also saves files in the unpopular Rich Text File format, another negative mark. It boasts some inventive features like a Zoom option and a calculations tool similar to one on an Excel spreadsheet. While both worked well enough, we failed to see users handling these tools very often. Overall, Atlantis Nova doesn't bring anything to the table that other word processors don't also offer.
With some major areas of concern in functionality, we can only recommend this freeware word processor to those disgusted with other programs.

"Our advanced search engine goes beyond today's typical 'keyword' search or current data-mining programs, which typically end up searching only 40 percent of all the documents that are relevant because the keywords are too limiting," said Fr�d�rique Segond, manager of parsing and semantics research at XRCE. "Xerox's tool is more accurate because it delves into documents, extracting the concepts and the relationships among them. By 'understanding' the context, it returns the right information to the searcher, and it even highlights the exact location of the answer within the document."
FactSpotter [xerox.com]
It is one (simple) thing to return Top 10 results from maybe 50-100k matches that you will have from collection of 1 mln documents, and it is completely different (very complex) problem to return same Top 10 but from a billion of qualifying pages. You can have a brilliant smart algorithm that works beautifully on 1 mln clean pages, but if you try to scale that to billions of dirty ones you will find that you need so much hardware that it will not be feasible for a long time.
FactSpotter is as alternative search engine insofar WWW is concerned as Google Desktop search is.

I agree, scalability is an issue with any search service.

Literary Lawn Party to help Milton library
MILTON — Want to celebrate literature and help out the Milton Public Library? Sue Williams, Director of the library said the 5th annual Literary Lawn Party is coming up this Saturday.
She described what the night will be like. "We'll be spending an unforgettable evening in a 1920's Paris setting. Guests can feel free to dress the part," Williams said. "There will be live entertainment by local trio, Eve. You'll learn a little bit about Hemingway. there will be a French themed fair of food offered. It's just a very enjoyable night on the grounds of Rose Hill here at the library."
This year's theme is based on Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast." Williams said while the lawn party will be fun, it is also a very important event for the library.
"It really supports the operations of the library. With all of the budget cuts that are happening, no matter how many grants we apply for, none of them cover general library operations. So it's important for us to be pro-active, get the community involved, and raise money for the library," Williams said.
The Literary Lawn Party is Saturday at 7:00p.m. on the grounds of Rose Hill on Broadway in Milton. The minimum suggested donation is $40 a person, or $200 for a table of six. A meal is included. For more information and to print out an RSVP, go to www.miltonpalibrary.org. (Codi Jade)

Disturbed young men soon able to enter 'the Matrix' and 'plug in' to shooting games with new Oculus VR display device
Posted By admin On February 15, 2013 @ 6:53 am In Prison Planet | Comments Disabled
J. D. Heyes
Natural News [1]
Feb 15, 2013
One thing concerned parents, teachers, academics and policymakers were discussing long before the second-worst school shooing in U.S. history took place in Newtown, Conn. in mid-December was the culture of violence that currently exists in our country and in which our young tend to immerse themselves.
Legacy games of violence like Doom, Call to Duty, Grand Theft Auto and other "shooting" games, many psychiatrists say, have desensitized a growing number of kids and young adults to the act of killing, perhaps leading some with preexisting psychological conditions to commit horrendous acts of mass murder.
On the heels of 20-year-old Adam Lanza's murder of 20 Kindergarten-aged children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School comes now a new type of total immersion shooting game that has the potential to transform psychopaths into total killers, desensitized beyond belief.
Total immersion technology will train future mass murderers
The company, Oculus VR [2], is an immersion virtual reality firm now developing the Oculus Rift, "a ground-breaking virtual reality headset for immersive gaming," according to the firm's website.
The company says it has raised $2.4 million in seed money "from project backers and supporters around the world," as its team works to develop "the Oculus Rift in an effort to revolutionize the way people experience interactive content."
The headset is getting rave reviews for the very thing that is liable to make it dangerous: its virtual reality [3] immersion capability.
"The immersion level here is really something to behold," says The Verge, a web-based tech magazine.
Adds an MSNBC tech writer, "There are a lot of cool gadgets out there, but I promise you that you have never seen anything like this."
Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus, in a video posted on the company's website, said, "Games are something I'm really passionate about. Even more than playing games [4], I'm passionate about bringing games to the next level."
It's that "next level" that should worry us.
Luckey went onto say that his company is attempting to develop the next level of gaming, using virtual reality as a means to totally engulf gamers in a sort of "Matrix" type of environment.
"The magic that sets the Rift apart is Immersive Stereoscopic 3-D Rendering, a massive field of view, and ultra-low latency head tracking," he said, noting that the a late-edition version of Doom 4 is the first game that can be played with the Rift.
The Doom games, by the way, are probably one of the most desensitizing of all, especially for impressionable youngsters and those who don't have a full grip on reality, experts believe.
One other thing to note: Oculus VR's company logo resembles the "all-seeing eye" that is on the back of every U.S. dollar, an important symbol of the "Supreme Being," which was borrowed by Freemasons from the nations of antiquity.
From virtual killing to real killing?
Also, the device is backed game developer John Carmack, whose games have previously been funded by the Pentagon.
"I told him I'd build him one for free instead," Luckey said when Carmack offered to buy a prototype. "Only good things can come from working with John Carmack."
Some tech magazines said Carmack was the real developer of the game, but Luckey dismissed that.
The point is this: At a time when violent video games have been blamed for contributing to an overall culture of violence that appears to be growing worse in America, the last thing future psychos need is a game that will allow them to further desensitize themselves to the "business" of killing, all the while helping them hone their "skills."

FASHION FRINGE'S NEW JUDGES: London's Fashion Fringe program has two new judges for its 2011 program — Claudia Schiffer and Roland Mouret. The model and designer will add to a judging panel that includes Anne Pitcher, managing director of Selfridges; Roy Peach, dean of the graduate school at the London College of Fashion, and Bel Jacobs, style editor at the British newspaper Metro. The new panel takes over from Fashion Fringe's former honorary chairperson John Galliano, who was due to act in that role for two years from 2010, but for obvious reasons was not available to be involved in the program this year, a spokeswoman for Fashion Fringe said.
Applications open today for the 2011 scheme, which offers the winner a two-year development package worth about 100,000 pounds, or $162,000 at current exchange. That includes cash, business advice, mentoring and a studio at London's Somerset House. The scheme was set up by fashion journalist Colin McDowell and IMG in 2004. Applications will close May 4, and three designers will be short listed to show their collections during London Fashion Week in September, when a winner will be chosen. In addition to their development package, the winner will benefit from an on-schedule show at London Fashion Week for the following two seasons.

Thanks for the reply and the information. I have one of the model A guns. I am a bayonet collector with interest in children and trainer bayonets. The Requarth gun takes a very strange bayonet. I have had several of the bayonets over the years, but never knew what they fit on. When I found one of the Requarth guns with the bayonet still attached the answer was apparent. I have not found any period advertising for the Requarth gun, but I know it was marketed by the Cincinnatti Regalia Company. The gun is based on the M1873 Trapdoor rifle, so production of the trainer would have to be after 1873 and could be as late as WWI. Boys Brigades declined rapidly during and after WWI, so I doubt any of them were made that late. Were the guns made by your family lumber company?? Shawn Gibson

Carly Rose's rendition of 'As Long As You Love Me' on the Dec. 5 episode of 'The X Factor' was better than Justin Bieber's original version! Do you agree?
Carly Rose Sonenclar blew away the competition on the Dec. 5 episode of The X Factor — she even proved to be BETTER than Justin Bieber!
"I love it when I hear unplugged versions of songs that are actually better than the original song. I mean, you sang it better than Justin did," Demi Lovato told Carly Rose, agreeing with us!
Not only did Carly Rose make the song her own by slowing down the track, but she hit notes that Justin could only wish to achieve! (Sorry, Justin.)
"You're why I love working in this country," head honcho Simon Cowell added.
Who do YOU think sang "As Long As You Love Me" better, HollywoodLifers? Watch below and then vote!

I think that Carly had an okay perforamnce. Being the major belieber that I am i think that Justin has a much much better voice. They showed his studio version of ALAYLM and if you listened to his acoustic version there would be absolutely no comparison! I am sorry to say but Justin has a much better performance than Carly

Leading up to the New Hampshire primary, the storyline on the Democratic side was the disastrous state of the Clinton campaign. Her loss was a given; it seemed the only considerations were the margin of defeat and whether or not she would even continue running at all. The day of the primary, the Washington Post reported (1/8/08) that a second loss to Obama "would leave the New York senator's candidacy gasping for breath," and declared that Clinton's vow to stay in the race
may be more wish than reality. By Wednesday, it may be too late. By then, Obama's campaign may have inflicted enough damage on the woman-who-was-once-inevitable that no amount of readjusting, recalibrating and rearranging will give her the wherewithal to overcome two big losses in the first contests of the 2008 nomination battle.
Clinton, of course, won the primary--surprising the pundits and contradicting the polls that journalists unwisely use to set the tone of so much of their coverage. In the aftermath, the media were left asking what went "wrong" with the numbers. As the front page of USA Today declared (1/10/08), "For Pollsters, N.H. 'Unprecedented.'" (This isn't so, actually; the USA Today story included a state pollster who noted that pre-election polls in 2000 vastly underestimated John McCain's victory over George W. Bush--e.g., New York Times, 1/30/00.)
In the wake of the media mea culpas, it's worth considering the unspoken implication--that if the vote had gone the way the polls were predicting, then the press would have been doing a fine job of covering an election. But journalists should not be gamblers, betting that they will be vindicated by voters' choices that are inherently unpredictable. Reporters ought to strive for coverage that holds up no matter what the results are.
Instead, pundits throw out bizarrely confident guesses like they're touting horses, with about the same degree of accuracy. NBC's Tim Russert (1/4/08) declared that "only McCain or Romney can come out of New Hampshire to fight for another day in South Carolina, only one. One stays behind. It is make or break for McCain or Romney in New Hampshire." (Actually, after New Hampshire, both candidates continued to campaign, but Russert didn't have to explain where his prediction came from.) Or as the Washington Post's David Broder wrote before the New Hampshire vote (1/4/08), "A second Romney loss would effectively end the former Massachusetts governor's candidacy."
While Extra! has written before (7=8/07) about media hostility towards so-called "second-tier" candidates ("In both parties, second-tier candidates continue to press on and siphon off votes," the Wall Street Journal reported--1/10/08), Broder and Russert were predicting the eminent demise of the candidate who could credibly claim to be the front-runner. This illustrates an important point about mainstream election coverage: Not only do journalists and pundits devote far too much attention to covering the horse race aspect of campaigns, but when they cover the horse race, they generally do a poor job of it.
Former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw offered some helpful commentary during the coverage of the New Hampshire primaries, suggesting to MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews that reporters put less emphasis on trying to predict outcomes and spend more time covering actual policy:
BROKAW: You know what I think we're going to have to do?MATTHEWS: Yes sir?
BROKAW: Wait for the voters to make their judgment.
MATTHEWS: Well, what do we do then in the days before the ballot? We must stay home, I guess.
BROKAW: No, no, we don't stay home. There are reasons to analyze what they're saying. We know from how the people voted today what moved them to vote. You can take a look at that. There are a lot of issues that have not been fully explored during all this.
Matthews' response is illuminating. Does a political junkie who hosts two national television programs really not have any idea about how to cover politics other than talking about strategy, fundraising and polls? Do campaign journalists really have so little interest in the actual policy positions of the candidates?
As it stands now, the races for the major party nominations are remarkably close. The most valuable service journalists could provide now would be to illustrate the differences between the candidates on the major issues of importance to voters. The press corps seems chastened by their misreading of the New Hampshire electorate, and many are vowing to be more cautious in their assumptions. Will they follow through on their own advice? And will voters ever get campaign reporting that helps them make informed choices about the direction of their democracy?

@literally45-- If you didn't have any night sweats before taking sertraline, then it's most likely the drug causing it. If you had some mild night sweats before taking sertraline, the drug might just be exacerbating that symptom. Are you under extra stress lately?
Night sweats actually do occur with stress, anxiety and depression. Whenever I've had depression, I've also had night sweats. It's the body trying to cope with the extra stress. Some people also suffer from nightmares due to stress and this can trigger night sweats as well. So it might not just be the sertraline.

I'm getting dizzy just LOOKING at the photo!
Inspired by Bruce Seeds (this guy on the right), I bought the book, One Block Wonder and thought, hey, that looks so easy.
I should have remembered that I get car-sick and sea-sick. Cutting and sewing thing that spin – NOT GOOD.
But the worse part was the flippin' Y seams! I had totally forgotten to NOT sew the hexagons together and to keep them as "hexagon halves" so that you can sew row by row and not have to do the stupid stop-pivot-pray.
Because the hexagons gave me vertigo, I decided to break up some of the smaller kaleidoscopes with yellow solids and then finish it off with larger kaleidoscopes.
I'm finally done with the top – but the yellows didn't help any. I think it made the design even more confusing.
I do like the larger kaleidoscope blocks – which are made of 6 1/2″ triangles from Robert Kaufman Jewel panels. I should have just done the whole quilt like that!
The smaller kaleidoscopes were also made from Robert Kaufman fabric.
But now that I'm looking at this fabric image – I just realized that I took beautiful already-kaleidoscope fabric, cut it up and made myself all seasick just trying to put it back together again.
Hmmmm….me not happy.
Well, I've gotten this far, the top is completed and I've gotta finish. Will take Dramamine before I quilt it.
So what do you use as backing for a quilt this crazy? Maybe just a plain black might be the best. Maybe use the yellow as binding? Use the quilt for self-hypnosis?
In other news, I finally got my longarm lesson! The wonderful Pat Alderman came by for 2 hours and walked me through all the features with basic how-to. I can now choose the designs, resize, rotate, skew, etc.
The free-motion stuff is HARD!!! Have you ever tried writing your name with your mouth holding a pencil? Yeah, it's that hard.

'On Air With Ryan Seacrest' Bids Farewell To Roger The Security Guard [AUDIO]
Today "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" bid a sad farwell to our faithful security guard Roger. Check out some of Roger's highlights with the show from over the years. In celebration we reminisced over some of the best videos we created with him.
E! Security Guard Roger and "On Air" staffer Nelson went to the big "Dancing With The Stars" season 11 cast reveal to try to get the inside scoop. Roger chatted with "Brady Bunch" mom, Florence Henderson, got pro football player Kurt Werner to admit that he was a little bit scared to be on 'DWTS,' and told Rick Fox that Brandy was the contestant to watch out for. Watch the video below to find out which contestant Roger said would be getting his vote!
On April 29th, 2011 eyes everywhere were watching Prince William tie the knot with long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton, including Roger and Nelson. Since the ceremony happened in the middle of the night for west coast viewers, Roger and Nelson decided to have a Royal Wedding sleepover, complete with British snacks and dance tunes. Watch as Nelson and Roger enjoy the royal wedding and provide their own brand of hilarious commentary throughout the broadcast.
Roger arrived at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in a limo for the premiere of "Piranha 3D". He was the the Ryan Seacrest correspondent for the evening, but actually revealed the reason that he was there was because Ryan was too scared to see the movie. Roger walked the Red Carpet and talked with stars of the movie Jerry O'Connell, Adam Scott, Riley Steele, Kelly Brook, Elisabeth Shue and Jessica Szohr. To find out what Roger had to say about the movie, watch the video below.
We wish the best for Roger in his future ventures, and look forward to his first visit back! Feel free to leave an encouraging note for Roger here, and we will be sure to pass along the good word.
