What is the difference between a total thyroidectomy and a partial thyroidectomy? What are the side effects of each? Where will the incision be made, how large will my scar be? Do I need a plastic surgeon? How long will I be in the hospital after surgery and when can I go back to work?
Rachel Kelz, MD, MSCE, at Penn Medicine responds:
Partial thyroidectomy involves the removal of a part of the thyroid (usually a half.) It is most commonly performed as an outpatient. People generally return to work 3-5 days after surgery but some take as many as 2 weeks off. Bleeding, infection and hoarseness and hypothyroidism can occur following thyroid lobectomy. The 1st three are uncommon but hypothyroidism requiring thyroid hormone replacement can occur in 20-25% of patients. The incision is made in line with a skin crease in the lower neck. The incision is between 1-3 inches in general. A plastic surgeon should not be required if your surgeon is conscientious.
A total thyroidectomy involves the removal of 95-100% of the thyroid. The risks include bleeding, infection, hoarseness, low blood calcium levels and tracheostomy. You will require thyroid hormone replacement for life. The other risks are VERY uncommon (<1-2%.) Many people take 10 days -2 weeks off from work. The majority of patients are admitted overnight following the procedure.

Welcome to the forum jacsilfver
In the recipes the anchovies are usually used as a seasoning . They add a saltiness to the dish.
I can't use anchovies either and so I just season with a little sae salt instead .

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi everybody
So, first off all im gonna quickly introduce myself. I am a 20yo girl born amd raised in Angola (Africa), left to Portugal about 4yrs ago and studying Hotel management in Spain. Ive been wandering about Europe and right now im in Mauritius for a 5 month internship at four seasons mauritius in KITCHEN
I find myself in love with this life more and more..
Now lets get to business... I would like everybodys opinion on this...my chef set up a young chef competition for commis and he put me in just so i sweat a bit, haha!! The prize is featuring the winner dish on the menu of one of the restaurant, which is a huuuge deal. So, I decided to pull off a starter and the challenge is to use only local products from the list he gave us: beet, carrots, taro, ginger, spinach, tapioca, pipengay, sea urchin, red mullet and sweet potato.. We dont have to use them all in one dish but we must combine as much as we can.. Guys could u please help me with some ideas? I have thought of red mullet cooked in lemon juice with ginger extract and jullienne carrots and beetroot salad. I will be waiting for any tips.
Thank you,

It really depends on the size of the roast you are cooking but, it sounds obvious but always use a roasting tray and a good size to allow room for your meat and maybe a few veg to go around it to give it some flavour.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hey Jamie, I simply love the way you cook! It's old fashioned and very healthy! :-)
You use alot of Balsamico vinegar in your meals. Especially with potatoes (which I love!). The problem is: I can't stand balsamico... I don't like the taste of it at all. (I don't like wine either, but I'm a huge fan of beer).
Do you have a tip for what to use as a substitute for balsamico in your meals?
And by the way, if you haven't tried it so far, take a paprika flavoured crisp and a piece of chocolate and eat them all together -> awesome! ;-)

Cleve Mash of Dirty Martini Brings a Taste of Country to Palm Beach County
The most influential person in my career has been... The most influential person in my life so far has been my father. He has been a role model for me not just in business but in life. He is not my biological father, but has raised me since I was three-years-old, and adopted me in the 7th grade, which is why my name changed from Cleve Tierney to Cleve Mash. He has taught me that any man can be a father, but a real man is a dad. He was my partner in my first nightclub called Monkeyclub, investing in my dream when I was just 26. He was hard on me in those early years to do things the right way at all times. He believed honesty, integrity and handwork were the foundation to long term success.
When I'm alone and in need of comfort (and no one is there to watch or judge), the one food or drink I turn to is... My guilty pleasure is pizza. There's something about pizza and a movie that just feels like a great night.
What does the Broward/Palm Beach food scene need more of? The Broward and Palm Beach County food scene needs more consumers -- hahaha! I think we have some amazing owner, managers and chefs in this area, and given the circumstances, if you can make it [here], I think it says a lot due to the fact that this is not a concentrated big city market. Hopefully we can continue to promote our area to big fortune 500 companies with our wonderful weather and low taxes.
You get to vote one food or beverage trend off the island forever -- what is it? I would have to say Patron. It would of saved me from a bunch of bad decisions
You have unlimited funds to open a restaurant or bar -- what's the name, and what do you serve? That's my secret.
Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years, I see myself married to my beautiful fiancée, coaching my kids in sports, expanding Mash Management Group from ownership and management of the restaurant and nightclub industry to include real estate brokerage and construction, as well.

Uzbek Journalist Murdered in Kyrgyzstan
On October 24, Uzbek journalist Alisher Saipov was murdered in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. According to the online newspaper ferghana.ru, Saipov was shot three times at close range by an unknown assailant. He is survived by his wife and infant daughter. Saipov founded the Uzbek language newspaper SIYOSAT(Politics), which focuses on current affairs in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. SIYOSAT covered topics including human rights abuses in Uzbekistan, the manipulation of the upcoming presidential election there, and the criminal activities of Uzbek security services operating across the border in Kyrgyzstan. Saipov also was a frequent contributor to ferghana.ru, uznews.net, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Voice of America. Many have speculated that his murder is a result of his journalistic work. In spring 2007, Saipov's newspaperbegan unofficial circulation in Uzbek sections of the Ferghana Valley. Soon after, a campaign began within Uzbekistan to discredit Saipov. Because of his reporting of human rights abuses, many friends and colleagues were concerned about his safety during the period leading up to his murder, which was marked by attacks against him on Uzbek Web sites and surveillance of his office. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Reporters Without Borders, and the National Endowment for Democracy, the Secretariat of the World Movement for Democracy, have all made public statements condemning Saipov's murder and calling on Kyrgyzstan to carry out a thorough and impartial investigation.

Somali Journalist Murdered in His Home
The National Union of Somali Journalists reports that on the evening of October 19, Bashir Nor Gedi, Acting Chairperson and the Vice Chairperson of Shabelle Media Network was murdered at his home by unknown gunmen. The murder appears to be a premeditated attack, according to his family members and eyewitnesses. Bashir is the eighth media person killed in Somalia since January 2007. After Shabelle Radio broadcasted the assassination of its boss, it stopped airing its normal programs and began airing verses of the Holy Quran for grief of the death. The Shabelle Media Network has been recently experiencing attacks on its journalists and its premises, and senior journalists of the network have fled from Mogadishu.

Pakistani Human Rights Activist Under House Arrest
Pakistani lawyer and human rights activist, Ms. Asma Jahangir was put under house arrest on November 3. Jahangir was arrested for speaking out for democracy, for insisting the government obey the Constitution and respect individual rights, and for speaking against military leaders, including Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf. Her 90-day detention order charges activities "prejudicial to public safety and maintenance of public order." Jahangir has been a human rights activist for many years. In 1986, she helped found the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. The organization has championed women's rights, demanded an end to bonded labor, challenged blasphemy laws, defended media freedoms, and exposed official corruption. On November 4, the Commission was raided and 70 supporters were arrested.
Jahangir's is but one case in the recent crackdown. Police in Pakistan have arrested thousands of people, including lawyers and judges whom Musharraf accuses of undermining his efforts to protect Pakistan. On November 6, the International Crisis Group called on President Musharraf to immediately release Asma Jahangir and restore the country's constitutional order.

Iranian Women's Rights Activist Sentenced to More Than Two Years in Prison and Ten Lashes
The Women's Learning Partnership for Rights, Development, and Peace reports that Delaram Ali has been sentenced to two-and-half years in prison and ten lashes for her participation in the June 12, 2006 protest in support of women's rights in Iran as a result of an appeals court decision. The protest was violently broken up by the police, and Ms. Ali sustained a broken arm as a result of the severe beatings. Complaints of excessive force were filed against the police, but last month the police were found innocent. During her original May 29, 2007 trial, Ms. Ali was sentenced to two years, ten months imprisonment and 20 lashes, but the appeals court slightly reduced the sentence. Ms. Ali is an activist in the One Million Signatures campaign, which aims to end discrimination against women in Iranian law.

Journalist Attacked in Kosovo
According to the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) and the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), on October 16, Voice of America journalist Vesna Bojičić was assaulted by a masked man in her apartment in Caglavica, Kosovo. Her attacker warned her to take this, his "final warning," seriously, or he would kill her and abduct her child. This is the fifth time Ms. Bojičić has been physically assaulted in Kosovo since June 1999. In addition to these assaults, Ms. Bojičić has also received numerous verbal threats by phone and in person. The HLC believes that Ms. Bojičić is a target because of her professional work and critical reporting on the international administration of Kosovo, Kosovo institutions, the leaders of the Serb enclaves, and Serbian authorities. To date, international and Kosovo police have not conducted an effective investigation into any one of the assaults according to HLC, and none of the assailants have been brought to justice. The HLC and ANEM are calling upon Kosovo institutions to take all necessary measures to protect the physical well being and dignity of journalists, who, like Vesna Bojičić, are risking their lives for the well being of Kosovo society. ANEM is also appealing to all professional media and journalist associations, and to members of the general public who care about democracy, to demonstrate their solidarity with journalist Vesna Bojičić.

Update: Civil Society Organizations Work to End Rights Abuses in Burma
In the October issue of DemocracyNews, an alert was issued concerning the peaceful protests that were held in Burma and the resulting human rights abuses. A military crackdown has quashed the public protests and thousands of peaceful monks and protesters are right now being brutalized in secret prisons. Last month a number of organizations and World Movement participants condemned the actions of the Burmese government and mobilized support for the victims of the oppression. Since that alert went out, several more organizations have joined in solidarity to take action, as follows:
On October 22, women activists of the '88 Generation Students group and National League for Democracy, sent a letter calling on the United Nations to take immediate measures to help protect women in Burma from continuing human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention, 'hostage-taking', torture, other ill-treatment, and a lack of access to medical care. Most recently, over 200 participants from civil society organizations and trade unions from across Southeast Asia and beyond have called upon the leaders of ASEAN to postpone the signing of the ASEAN Charter due to the Burmese junta's recent violent crackdown on peaceful protests. At the conclusion of the third ASEAN + Civil Society Conference (ACSC III) held in Singapore on November 2-4, all participants agreed that the current political crisis in Burma must first be resolved in accordance with basic human rights standards before ASEAN's leaders can sign a Charter for a "caring, sharing community." Participants urged ASEAN countries, particularly Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, to do more than issue strong statements and to take concrete action, including the imposition of an arms embargo and the stemming of the flow of resources to the military junta. There was also a call on the Indonesian government, as current Chair of the UN Security Council, to advocate the imposition of sanctions and other targeted measures, and for ASEAN to place more pressure on China and India to take concrete measures to push the Burmese military generals to engage in a democratic process of reform.

War Crimes Reporter in Croatia Arrested
On October 17, Zeljko Peratovik was arrested and charged with revealing a state secret following a search of his home in Zagreb. Police seized files and computers, but prosecutors have not yet decided whether or not to put him on trial. According to Reporters Without Borders, his arrest was prompted by posts on his blogs concerning war crimes committed in Gospic in the 1990s. Due to his reporting on war crimes, Peratovik has lost his job, been physically attacked, and is thought of as a traitor by many in the country who deny that Croatia has committed war crimes.

Human Rights Watch Honors Global Rights Defenders
Two courageous human rights lawyers, from Zimbabwe and Nepal, have been chosen to receive the prestigious Human Rights Defender Awards. The awards will be presented at dinners in London, Munich, Hamburg, and Geneva in November. The honorees are Zimbabwean lawyer and World Movement participant, Arnold Tsunga, and Nepalese human rights lawyer, Mandira Sharma. Both honorees have used the law to expose abuses and seek redress for victims of gross human rights violations in their countries. Tsunga, executive director of Zimbabwean Lawyers for Human Rights, returned home to Harare this year despite being constantly harassed and threatened by government forces. He uses the courts to take on Robert Mugabe's regime, giving a voice to Zimbabweans silenced by repression. Sharma, the first woman in her village to become a lawyer, founded Advocacy Forum to champion the rights of Nepalis caught in the civil war between Maoist insurgents and the Nepali government. Since a peace agreement was signed in 2006, Sharma has concentrated on bringing to justice those who committed abuses on both sides.

Azerbaijani Human Rights Groups Participate in OSCE Warsaw Meeting
At the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), held from September 25 to October 5 in Warsaw, NGOs from Human Rights House Azerbaijan brought attention to concerns in relation to the 2008 elections in Azerbaijan. These concerns have arisen because the government has exerted control over the electoral commission, and activists believe this could lead to election crimes. NGOs also distributed a statement on the deteriorating level of freedom of expression in Azerbaijan. They pointed to state hostility towards independent media, threats made towards journalists, and the use of defamation cases to cripple the media.

Freedom House Condemns Kazakh Government's Blocking of Web Sites
According to Freedom House, authorities in Kazakhstan have blocked four opposition Web sites. The closures of these Web sites have been linked to their publication of transcripts of telephone conversations alleged to involve senior government officials. Freedom House claims that the Web site shutdown is part of a broader pattern of anti-democratic behavior by the Kazakh authorities. Kazakhstan has also supported a Russian initiative to limit the scope of OSCE election monitoring missions. Currently, Kazakhstan is pursuing the chairmanship of the OSCE. Freedom House argues that Kazakhstan's activities make the country an undesirable candidate for the OSCE chairmanship. Kazakhstan currently rates as "Not Free" in Freedom House's "Freedom of the Press" and "Freedom in the World" surveys.

Liberian Youth Celebrate World Youth Day for Democracy
On October 15-19, the National Youth Movement for Transparent Elections – Partners for Democratic Development (NAYMOTE) organized a number of events in celebration of World Youth Day for Democracy. The events reached over 1,000 young people in Liberia. Young political leaders and government leaders spoke to students on the importance of democracy, participation, and responsibility. The film "American Promise" was shown to a group of students to teach them about the constant need to maintain and improve democracies. NAYMOTE also organized School Democracy Clubs in which participants in these events will go back and teach the skills they have learned to their classmates and members of their communities. World Youth Day for Democracy is an initiative of the World Youth Movement for Democracy (WYMD). Every year on October 18, the WYMD encourages youth organizations around the world to highlight initiatives, which mobilize, educate, and raise awareness among youth.

Satanism . . . Is it for real?
Mokokchung, August 2 (MExN): Type the word 'Nagaland satanic' on the Google search engine, and websites with news about the presence of satanic worshipers in the state pop up. The number 3000 will also figure in most of the news articles. "There are more than 3000 worshippers in the state capital alone" is a phrase you will find in the news articles.
What more? This quiet town of Mokokchung, of late, is also agog with the word 'satan', 'satanic worshippers' and 'satanic church'. Preachers have of late been holding onto this topic.
However, there is no concrete proof of their existence other than words and assertions. For the past few weeks, all that concerned citizens could say about these 'satanic worshippers' was that this group goes by the name 'The Black Bulls' with the tag 'Awakening the Horror'.
This was confirmed, when a news agency quoted Rev. Wati Longkumer, director of the Nagaland Missionary Movement, as saying, "Some of the Christian youth who have renounced Satan worship have told us that they would be called for services after midnight at the Kohima War Cemetery and other locations, and asked to wear black T-shirts and be called by their new nicknames." He reportedly said that he has seen membership forms for a group calling itself 'The Black Bulls' and inviting youngsters to become part of devil worship.
A hunt for this 'Black Bulls' membership form was initiated by some Mokokchung based journalists, who finally got hold of a xerox copy. Besides the silly grammatical mistakes in the 7-point 'Rules and Regulations', the Black Bull "gang", as this alleged satanic group like to call themselves, resembles an adolescent teenage group.
Rules No 6 & 7 in the membership form makes an interesting read: 'If anything happens to any members of this group everyone should be present to defence him.' No 7 reads: 'If anyone breaks the rules of this gang he will be punished according to his deeds.' The form costs Rs 20.
A concerned citizen (a scribe who wished not be named) had this to say, "Whatever this group maybe, people should not jump to conclusion and brand them as satanic unless and until we have concrete proof." As of now in Mokokchung, there is no proof that there are members of this 'Black Bulls' gang.
Moreover, what is more baffling is the sudden disclosure about the existence of 3000 satanic worshippers in the Kohima capital alone ahead of the "Transformation Crusade" in April, 2013.
The Number 3000, from where did it spring from?
On April 4, 2013, the organizing committee of the "Transformation Crusade" which was conducted from April 24-30 held a press conference at Hotel Japfü, Kohima. There, Rev. Zotuo Kiewhuo, Sr. Pastor & Founder- Koinonia Baptist Church, is reported to have disclosed that there were more than 3,000 satanic worshippers in the Capital. This shocking disclosure spread like wildfire all over the state. Numerous crusades have been held in different parts of the state, and not surprisingly, the existence of satanic worshipper figured in most of the crusades.
The Morung Express held a telephonic conversation with Rev. Zotuo Kiewhuo and queried about his claims for the existence of satanic worshippers in Kohima. Rev Kiewhuo maintained that the number is more than 3000 even now and added that he has delivered lots of people who were into this occult practice. He mentioned of a 'lady' who came to him and confessed that she was practicing the occult and how he delivered her through the power of 'Holy Spirit'.
He also disclosed that the Koinonia Baptist Church will hold a fasting on August 10, after which, the church members will go to the place where the satanic worshippers gather and sanctify the area through the power of 'Holy Spirit'. Rev Kiewhuo disclosed that they have identified seven locations where the satanic worshippers or 'Black Bull' members gather. He further disclosed that the satanic worshippers exist in all the districts of Nagaland and therefore the "Transformation Crusade" will be held in all the district headquarters.
What is the church doing?
Though many youths shrug off the issue as a prank, yet the church is not taking any chances. The Ao Baptist Church Council (ABAM) is learnt to have a crucial meeting last week to discuss the matter. Rev Ponen Longchar of Mokokchung Town Ao Baptist Church said that the church is taking the matter seriously, though there is no concrete proof about the existence of satanic worshipper in Mokokchung. He disclosed that the church will take some decisions and measures if such satanic churches do exist in society. Rev Wati Longkumer, Director of NMM (NBCC) is also quoted by a news agency as saying that its youth department has been assigned to conduct a detailed report into the whole issue.
Implications on the society
Many educated youths shrug off the topic as a non-issue. But many are concerned nonetheless, not necessarily about the evil effects of Satanism, but because of related issues like wearing of black T-Shirts, putting tattoos on the body, listening to some genre of music, and playing videogames. Rule No 1 in the 'Black Bulls' membership form declares, 'Every member in this group is compulsory to wear black T-Shirt'. A person from Wokha district had recently written in a local daily clarifying that he is not a satanic worshipper. The person had claimed that rumors have been spread about him being a satanic worshipper.
What next?
Many citizens are of the opinion that this issue will linger for quite a while. There is concern among certain sections of the society; however, that it will take some time to ascertain if a person or a group is/are real worshipper(s) of the devil. However, even if satanic worshipper exists, it is hard to say how the society and the Church can address the issue. There is fear among many people that such talk about the existence of satanic worshippers may lead to witch-hunting, as is being practiced in some other states.

In all, 91 RCTs (reported in 93 articles) compared the efficacy or effectiveness of one second-generation antidepressant with that for another for treating patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Most subjects were younger than 60 years; 11 trials were conducted in populations 55 years of age or older. In general, studies enrolled patients according to a criteria-based diagnosis of MDD relating to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (either the revised third edition [DSM-III-R] or fourth edition [DSM-IV]) and a predefined cutoff point of a widely used depression scale (i.e., Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression [HAM-D] =18 or Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS] =19). Most patients had moderate to severe depression as measured by a variety of scales. Most studies excluded patients who had additional axis I disorders, high suicidal risk, or progressive medical diseases or who used psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or psychotropic medications. In the majority of studies, the primary end points were either changes from baseline or rates of response or remission on investigator-rated diagnostic depression scales such as the HAM-D or MADRS. Changes on such diagnostic depression scales are generally viewed as intermediate outcomes rather than health outcomes, and they are not always reliably related to changes in health outcomes. Response or remission, even when deducted from such a scale (e.g., response is defined as a 50% improvement of scores on the HAM-D or the MADRS), can be seen as proxies to health outcomes. Therefore, reporting of outcomes is focused on differences in response or remission rates rather than differences in changes of scores.This portion (slides 11–14) of the presentation addreses the comparative effectiveness of second-generation antidepressants for treating adults with MDD. The overall comparative effectiveness results will be addressed first, followed by the results from the immediate-release and extended-release formulations and the results related to treatment adherence and persistence.

@Ana1234 - Most gardens will eventually come into balance if the gardener is careful to try and follow natural patterns. It's not enough to not spray and hope the beneficial insects find your garden. You have to make sure your garden is a welcoming place.
Honeybees do need a variety of different kinds of flower, so if all you are growing is one crop, that's going to be a problem for them. Predator insects usually need to have places to hide in order to do what you want them to do. Some insects are attracted by particular plants and need those around to do their work.
It's complicated in some ways, but in others it is actually easier than a more barren garden, because diversity is key and that will often result when you do a little less work on scrubbing out every little invading plant.

Terrycloth is a really popular kind of fabric for people to use when they need to have water absorbed. That is why you can find terrycloth towels, headbands, jumpers, scooters, robes and bathing suit cover ups.
It is really super absorbent, and that helps with the whole drying thing. It is an added bonus that terrycloth is a very comfy fabric that is soft and even baby friendly.
My kids both have a few terrycloth pieces, as do I. We love to lounge around in them on our lazy days.

410: Math Paper
Math paper |
Title text: That's nothing. I once lost my genetics, rocketry, and stripping licenses in a single incident. |
This comic is a set up to use the joke about imaginary friends by taking the concept of "friendly numbers" into the complex plane, which comprises numbers that have both a real and an imaginary part.
An imaginary number is a number that can be written as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i, which is defined by its property i2 = -1 (an impossibility for regular, "real" numbers, for which all squares are positive).
An imaginary number bi can be added to a real number a to form a complex number of the form a+bi, where a and b are called, respectively, the real part and the imaginary part of the complex number.
The name "imaginary number" was coined in the 17th century as a derogatory term, since such numbers were regarded by some as fictitious or useless, but over time many applications in science and engineering have been found.
Joel Bradbury has a wonderful explanation of friendly numbers on his site:
- What are Friendly Numbers?
- We need first to get define a divisor function over the integers, written σ(n) if you're so inclined. To get it first we get all the integers that divide into n. So for 3, it's 1 and 3. For 4, it's 1, 2, and 4, and for 5 it's only 1 and 5.
- Now sum them to get σ(n). So σ(3) = 1 + 3 = 4, or σ(4) = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7, and so on.
- For each of these n, there is something called a characteristic ratio. Now that's just the divisors function over the integer itself ( σ(n)/n . So the characteristic ratio where n = 6 is σ(6)/6 = 12/6 = 2.
- Once you have the characteristic ratio for any integer n, any other integers that share the same characteristic are called friendly with each other. So to put it simply a friendly number is any integer that shares its characteristic ratio with at least one other integer. The converse of that is called a solitary number, where it doesn't share it's characteristic with anyone else.
- 1,2,3,4 and 5 are solitary. 6 is friendly with 28; σ(6)/6 = (1+2+3+6)/6 = 12/6 = 2 = 56/28 = (1+2+4+7+14+28)/28 = σ(28)/28.
- Lecturer: In my paper, I use an extension of the divisor function over the Gaussian integers to generalize the so-called "friendly numbers" into the complex plane.
- [Lecturer points to equations on the board.]
- Guy in room: Hold on. Is this paper simply a giant build-up to an "imaginary friends" pun?
- [Lecturer stands speechless.]
- Lecturer: It MIGHT not be.
- Guy in room: I'm sorry, we're revoking your math license.
Shouldn't it say something about the whole math licence, and that you don't actually need a licence to do math? 22.214.171.124 21:01, 31 October 2013 (UTC)Synthetica
Despite what this comic implies, the divisor function is defined over the Gaussian integers. There still is a problem, though. If a divides b, then so does -a, along with ai and -ai. The divisors will inevitably sum to zero. You could get around this by ignoring all the numbers that aren't in a given quadrant. I personally like the idea of using ones where the real part is greater than the imaginary part (although that still does become a problem with multiples of 1+i). This way, a friend of a natural number will also be a natural number (though it's only the same as what you'd get normally if all the factors are three mod four). 18.104.22.168 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Does someone care to hazard a guess about the alt text? Are there any possible papers that could have been written about those three fields? 18.104.22.168 15:04, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
I think no one's noticed the "Straight man's deadpan stare" in panels 3 and 4. After being rudely interrupted in panel two, the lecturer stares silently at the person who stopped him in panel 3. Note the shape of the lecturer's head: his forehead and chin are facing towards the right as revealed by the angled features at the top and bottom of his head. In panel 4 the lecturer turns and stares at the reader and stands silent. Note the completely round shape of the head. This is the classic deadpan stare. Also, am I the only one who assumed that Cueball himself is the lecturer and the person interrupting him is likely the proffessor of the class?ExternalMonolog (talk) 20:14, 21 January 2014 (UTC)ExternalMonolog
- I don't know. In panel three DOES look straight at the commenter in the audience in a deadpan way, like he'd been caught unawares by the person's observation, but in panel four seems to look down, head tilted towards the floor as if wondering "aww shit, now what do I do?" Or like he felt slightly ashamed of being caught. 126.96.36.199 22:56, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- I thought it was pretty plainly evident that Cueball is the presenter - going along with the XKCD theme of banning/revoking Cueball's privilege due to "inappropriately" wasting people's time at an ostensibly serious event. Also, in relative agreement with 188.8.131.52, I think that Panel 3 is his feeble attempt to continue to look serious (or straight/deadpan) while thinking of a way to respond, followed in Panel 4 with a slightly defeated shoulder/head slump (giving up with trying to perpetuate his premise). Panel 5 could be viewed as a plain admission, but I prefer to see it as a final, hail-Mary attempt to maintain the graces of the audience without actually lying to them. -- Brettpeirce (talk) 16:09, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Defendants Allege Entrapment in Robbery Sting Operation
Five men face years of incarceration for an alleged elaborate robbery scheme that was entirely planned by law enforcement officers. According to a news report in The Baltimore Sun, the men were arrested for conspiracy to distribute drugs, robbery, and gun violations. Each of the suspects faces more than a decade of mandatory prison time, even though the planned robbery did not take place and never could have.
The men argue that they would not have considered such a robbery if it had not been suggested by the law enforcement officials who conducted the sting operation. The authorities, however, believe that the men are known offenders and that reverse sting operations are legal tools to ensnare difficult-to-catch criminals.

Almost all companies today require the use of computers to be competitive. Once a company starts using computers, return on investment, security, and business data integrity become paramount.
Return on investment (ROI) is the anticipated financial benefit (the "return") on resources expended (the "investment") on a particular project or product. ROI is usually measured by looking at the investment and how it makes your company more competitive and therefore more profitable by delivering better products and services than your competitor in a timely manner.
The business information required to achieve this goal must be secure and accessible.
Your business owns its data and relies on it to be successful. This requires that all business data reside or be backed-up on a central server or set of servers, not individual workstations. Once all your business data is centralized it can be more easily protected and backed-up.
To keep your data secure, three different issues need to be addressed. First, the hardware chosen to be the repository of your business data must be designed and built robust enough to accomplish the task. Second, a firewall is required to protect the network from outside intrusions. Third, a backup methodology must be put into place to allow for recovery from data loss or data corruption.
To achieve this security and accessibility requires a simple, very straight forward approach to network and systems infrastructure:
Small to Medium Size Business Network Model:
This model provides all the features discussed above in a very cost effective implementation. The functions provided are described below.
Internet Firewall Protection:
>400MHz Processor, (Faster CPU Required ONLY if data flow > 3Mbits/sec) 128 MB Memory, (More Memory ONLY Required if used as a caching Firewall) Two Network Interface Cards (NIC), > 10GB Hard Disk (Just large enough for O/S and Logs) Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor 700 VA Un-interruptible Power Supply with Surge Protection
Centralized Data Storage on the Linux Server:
AMD XP2400+ or P4 2.5 GHz Processor (1 to 10 Users) Dual AMD MP2400+ or Dual Intel Xeon 2.6 GHz Processors (11 to 100 Users) 512 MB Memory, (More Memory ONLY Required if used as a Intranet Web Server) Two Network Interface Ports (NIC), 3Ware IDE RAID Controller 80 to 160 GB Usable Hard Disk Space (Company Storage Analysis Required) 100 to 200 GB Tape Drive for Automated Backup Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor Redhat Linux for Reliability, Functionality and High Performance 700 VA Un-interruptible Power Supply with Surge Protection
This type of approach promises a simple yet efficient business network which is cost effective and easily implemented, maintained and upgraded. If security, reliability, maintainability and function are kept in mind during the design and implementation of a business network, the outcome can provide your business with a significant competitive advantage and a fast return on investment.
Integrated Solutions and Systems can help you maximize your return on investment and increase your competitive advantage. Call us and we will be glad to help you design, configure and optimize your network infrastructure.

2014 marks the centenary of the extinction of the passenger pigeon – once the most abundant bird species in North America, if not the world. In the year 1800, more than five billion passenger pigeons crisscrossed the skies of the eastern United States and Canada. Passing flocks could darken the skies for three days straight. However, in the face of relentless slaughter for food and recreation, coupled with habitat loss, this seemingly inexhaustible resource was depleted in just a few decades. The "last grand nesting" of Passenger Pigeons known occurred near Petoskey in 1878, blanketing a region 40 miles long and three to ten miles wide. By 1900 the species was virtually extinct, and by mid-afternoon of September 1, 1914, Martha, the last of her species, died in the Cincinnati Zoo.
Project Passenger Pigeon will mark this anniversary and promote the conservation of species and habitat, strengthen the relationship between people and nature, and foster the sustainable use of natural resources. Explore this site for more information about these amazing birds, the broader themes of Project Passenger Pigeon, upcoming project activities, and ways you can participate.

I'm Brynn Mannino, and you're watching 5 Ways. Today, we'll show you how to use an ordinary item in an extraordinary way. Let's talk about Zip-top bags. Tip one: make a changing mat. Tear open the side seams of a gallon-sized bag and lay flat to create a baby-changing station. Tip two: pack accessories. Organize jewelries, scarves, and toiletries by category, so they're easier to find in your suitcase. Tip three: knead the dough. Kneading dough, use two bags as gloves to avoid getting your hands sticky. Tip four: improvise a funnel. Create a temporary funnel by cutting off the corner of a plastic bag for anything from shampoo, to glitter, to icing. Tip five: clean the showerhead. Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar, rubber band it to a showerhead, and soak for half an hour. I'm Brynn Mannino, and you're watching 5 Ways.

$35 USD. Perfect nude color with peachy pink under tones. I find most "nude" colors wash me out and goes into beige territory but this looks just like my natural lip color, only better. I am pale yellow Asian (Dior #10, MAC NC20 or C2) but it seems from other reviewers that it looks just as good on other skin tones. New favorite every day lip color!!
More reviews by Justteaformethanks
Perfect MLBB lip colour. Doesn't dry out my lips and keeps them hydrated. With is wonderful, since most lipsticks dry out my lips. Colour is absolutely perfect. It truly is a "nude" lipstick. Colour looks a lot like Grege 1947, but Charnelle has a bit more pink in it (Grege is more orange and a bit more matte). Nice soft shine, not obvious. I really like it and think I have found my Holy Grail lipcolour. I pat it on straight from the stick for a natural look.
I was looking for a perfect nude lipstick and found this Rouge Dior Nude Charnelle. As other reviewers, I also find that its not long lasting and I do not really like its semi-sheer finish (that is why I took off a lippie). But I really like this beautiful shade. Its difficult to find a pinky peach nude color with the right amount of pink which looks natural and not too pale. The formula is truly hydrating and it has a slightly glossy finish. I swipe it on a few times and also use Estee Lauder lip pencil (spice) to define my lips. And btw, this lipstick smells fabulous!
Perfect nude MLBB for me, fair neutral skinned blonde. Pale pinky peach. Warms up my face instantly and feels sooo great on. Not slippery or slick, very slightly balmy and the color lasts a decent amount of time for a sheer lipstick. I don't carry much makeup with me, but this one is definitely a purse staple. Just wish it wasn't so expensive!
FIY Sephora has a lipstick that's very close to this in color and texture, the Rouge Shine in nr #7 called Matchmaker. Ever so slightly cooler (less peach) and not as nice on the lips, but close.
Charnelle is a beautiful shade that makes me honestly want to stop buying drugstore lips products haha. The formula is incredibly hydrating without being slippery or greasy feeling and leaves a gorgeous glossy finish. On me, it's almost the same color as my lips but a hair more coral. No it's not super long lasting and yes you do have to swipe it a few times to get the color to show up but that's because technically this is advertised as being a lip balm with a semi-sheer finish, not a full on lipstick. That being said though, if you do swipe it on a few times you can get the color to be pretty much opaque so it's not one of those products that's so sheer you can barely tell you have anything on. The packaging is of course absolutely gorgeous and luxurious looking, as Dior packaging almost always is.
This is a fabulous sophisticated nude for pigmented lips and medium complexion. Looks slightly rosy nude in the tube, goes on creamy and looks best with a nude pencil. Very, very polished looking. Doesn't last long, so I took off a lippie.

Need some artwork
Submitted by Haysoose on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 04:03in
I need someone who is a good artist to draw a "Drunken Druid" for a website. I would prefer something cartoony. I of course will give you proper credit. If anyone that is a good artist is willing to give this a shot that would be awesome. Unfortunately, I don't have money to pay for it but like I said, I'll certainly give you your props. Would like him/her laughing with a stein of beer or something. Anyway, let your imagination run wild.
If it is professional enough and if I must I can send a few pristine 1/4 oz. silver coins.

MEDFORD, Ore. — The suspect whom police say set off a bomb outside the Jackson County District Attorney's Office will change his plea next week.
Alan McVay was set to begin his trial in federal court Tuesday, and had originally pleaded not guilty. But in court Monday, McVay said he would like to change his plea. That plea change is now scheduled for May 12th, and his trial has been postponed to May 13th.
No one was hurt last November when the explosive went off outside the DA's office. According to court records, McVay had been scheduled to go to trial on a separate charge at that time. The bomb was set one day before that trial was set to begin.

Hello, I just have one simple question that maybe a lot of you can help me with here. What's the best SD passive metal pickup?
Hello, I just have one simple question that maybe a lot of you can help me with here. What's the best SD passive metal pickup?
I have used the Following: 59, Dime, Pearly Gates plus, Custom, Custom Custom, and JB. I think the best Metal pup is the JB, which I just switched back to again for the 3rd time.
I like the brightness and its well-rounded as far as styles. I would recommend EMG81 (My favorite pickup) but you asked for Duncan.
RepVenom welcome to the board...what are you looking for, what kind of metal are you playing?
not hard enough. try the DD you will be able to have better palm muted and very good hights for your solos
Duncan Distortion Rules!!!
Thank you. I am looking for a Godsmack sound. I play nu-metal.Originally Posted by the guy who invented
And thanks to the other repliers as well so far.
I just have experience with the custom and jb and i think both are great for metal!
RG 550 [JB | SingleSizedHole(TM) | V1 (to be replaced)]
TS 7 (modded)
Hot Rod 50+ XL
Framus Dragon 4x12
V-AMP II for practice
Duncan Distortion, hands down.
I'm a sucker for the Dime.
Either a custom or a DD. I think a full shred would work great with lower tunings though. I am going to try it some day.
Let me say this first...Both guys from Godsmack use Les Pauls...Stock neck pups and Pearly Gates Bridge pups! Alot of good Nu-Metal tones are vintage style guitars with modern amps and tons of gain...Were I you I would get a...
-Custom V
-Duncan Custom
-Duncan Distortion
Any of these will do the job for you...
Good luck
Proudly Klon free!
Is the Duncan Distortion good for palm mutes?Originally Posted by the guy who invented
Guys ever heard the Godsmack song Whatever? Basicly I want my guitar to sound just like the guitar in that song. Or most other Godsmack songs if you haven't heard that one before.
I'm gonna listen to the different samples of the pickups you all suggested. Thanks guys.
DD is killer for PM's...it;s got a good strong bottom with killer high's
Proudly Klon free!
Looks like I might go for the DD so far.
Oh and does the DD do a good job making that chugging sound?

LSU E. J. Ourso College of Business offering Chinese university exchange program
POSTED: Saturday, June 1, 2013 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, June 1, 2013 - 10:04am
Baton Rouge, La — Beginning next spring, students of the LSU E. J. Ourso College of Business will have the opportunity to take part in a life-altering learning experience. The college has announced a new partnership with Hong Kong Polytechnic University that will allow students the chance to earn course credit while immersed in the business operations of an emerging market.
According to E. J. Ourso College Dean Richard D. White Jr., the partnership is aimed at more fully developing the college's globalization growth initiative.
"This will truly provide a cultural and career-building encounter unlike any our students have had before," White said.
"The program will be offered every year during the spring semester and is ideal for students in their junior year."
White stated that Hong Kong Polytechnic is fully accredited, and students will be able to choose from a wide range of courses in accounting, finance, management, marketing, supply chain management, electives and even foreign language. Classes will be taught in English, and it is feasible that students will be able to land internships with multinational corporations.
"This exchange program is an investment, one that students will reap the benefits of when they return to LSU and for years to come in their chosen professions," White said. "Earlier this month, we sent (Assistant Dean for Academic Programs) Ashley Junek and (Emerging Markets Initiative Director) Ye-Sho Chen to Hong Kong Polytechnic to finalize last-minute details. Everything is in place and ready to go."
To participate in the exchange program, students must have a 3.0 overall grade point average. They are still responsible for their LSU tuition and other fees. TOPS and other financial aid may be used to offset the cost of tuition, and the college is offering scholarships of up to $4,000 as well. Students will not pay any tuition or fees at Hong Kong Polytechnic. They will pay room and board to Hong Kong Polytechnic. Monthly costs, including accommodations, food and miscellaneous expenses are estimated to be $526.
The deadline to apply for the semester in Hong Kong program is Aug. 26, 2013. For more information, contact Junek at email@example.com or 225-578-3211.

Flowered Easter Bonnet
Pretty as can be! Make this hat to wear in your own little Easter Parade or use it as a centerpiece.
18" x 24" Heavy Ivory Paper
Pink, Yellow, Purple, Green Letter Size Paper
Flowers: Print 2 each on yellow, purple, and pink
Leaves: 2 each on green
Tacky Glue
Hole Punch
Cut heavy ivory paper into approximately a 16" circle with a 7" circle cut out of the middle. This becomes the hat brim. Exact sizing won't really matter.
Cut twelve 1" x 11" strips out of the same paper. Fold each strip up ¼" from both ends.
Tuck folded ends of one of the strips under the inner circle of the brim allowing the strip to gently bend upward. Do the same with another strip, criss-crossing the first strip.
Continue with additional strips until a solid crown is formed.
Click on Printables, print and cut out flowers and leaves. Printed side will be the back of the flowers and leaves. Bend pieces up slightly on the dotted lines. This will add depth to the flowers. Assemble flowers by layering pieces. Use a small dot of glue in the center of each piece to secure. Punch out small circles with a standard whole punch for flower centers.
Glue the flowers around the hat. Glue on leaves, tucking them under flower petals.

Current Time
San Pedro , Ambergris Caye
Tel: 501 220 5010
Fax: email@example.com
Concierge.com's insider take:
Matachica is the anti-generic beach resort. Despite all the requisite trappings (a gorgeous stretch of white sand, iguanas that scuttle across it on cue, a generous endowment of gently swaying palms, and perfect margaritas), distinctiveness is what defines this remote corner of Ambergris Caye. Each of the 21 cabanas is painted its own sorbet-reminiscent shade. And the lobby aesthetic is essentially shabby chic meets Mesoamerican at the Casbah. In the Moroccan-veil-draped, Guatemalan-pillow-strewn lounge area, a manager-cum-DJ spins a steady supply of world music for the guests who are invariably gathered there. Despite the full complement of activities on offer (diving, kayaking, biking), most people check in mainly to chill out. To that end, there are hammocks everywhere, a sweet restaurant, and a desert oasisevoking spa tent.

How to get Lotus Notes 8.5 on a stick (nomad) to run from the portable applications menuGrant Bingham - August 14, 2009 - 8:47am
Lotus Notes 8.5 basic - C1SP2EN.exe(and also not the allcients version) can be installed as a portable application to show as a menu item in portable applications. It will work as per normal - just that it can be launched from the menu. When I say works normally, I mean it makes an icon on the screen, loads itself and then removes itself when you unplug the portable drive. Following the infocenter instructions: There are basically four steps: Step 3 comments: It'll place the autorun.exe file and msi and other directories inside this directory. Portable Apps picks up this autorun.exe file when you refresh it. Step 4 comments: [Details] [License] [Version] [Control] Basically this last step can be easily done by copying a similar directory in one of the other applications. That's how I did it - I copied the app directory of another application and then customised it's ini file and icon file. My instructions seem a bit long winded, but it's not tricky really, and it's quick to do. Works like a charm. ( categories: )
I do this with lotus notesI do this with lotus notes 7.0.2, working good! thanks |

How to Get Laid at Miami Beach Polo World Cup IX
4. Have some lines that make you sound smart. Even if you're full of shit.
- "What a beautiful chestnut!" Because odds are, there's at least one chestnut on the field.
- "Well done!" This applies to almost any match, to someone on the field.
- If one team gets badly beaten, "They were obviously outhorsed." Meaning, one team had better horses than another.
- If someone asks you what you thought of a chukker, "It was a little bit choppy from time to time." Again, applies to almost anything.
5. Hey ladies! Here are a couple dudes to keep your eyes on:
- Kris Kampsen: super talented dude with a six-goal handicap who turned pro at 15.
- Santi Torres: 19-years-old. Utterly adorable. Young blood, baby!
- Vincent Mesker: Denmark-born player who was the topic of a movie dubbed The Polo Kid.
- Jamie Morrison: In addition to his outstanding on-field talent, this cutie's dad was a major music mogul during the days of Pink Floyd, Elton John, etc. Quite the family.
So go forth and get laid, polo groupies!
The Miami Polo World Cup IX is taking place on South Beach, between 21st and 22nd Streets, through Sunday. Attendance is free. Visit MiamiPolo.com for schedule and details.

Actually, it's an old favorite, but I'm rewatching the show.
From Sports Night, episode 6, "The Head Coach, Dinner, and the Morning Mail".
Natalie (played by the sparkly Sabrina Lloyd) has been receiving death threats from fans for making public that she was assaulted by a favored football player. Jeremy (lovable nerd Joshua Malina) hasn't been sleeping out of concern for her. At the end of the episode, he's tried to create a late-dinner picnic in the office, but he's so exhausted, he's fallen asleep while waiting for her. Natalie wakes him up briefly, they chat, and then we close on him back asleep, head in her lap.
It's so touching and unusually meaningful. I loved those two as a couple.
Ah, yes, that's a beautiful moment in a beautiful episode. Another moment in that episode I loved is when Dan helps Jeremy try to think of the perfect restaraunt and winds up rhapsodizing about New York: "You're not in Vegas, and you're not in L.A. – you are in the most magnificent city in the world – it's the city of Gershwin and Cole Porter, Damon Runyon and Fiorello LaGuardia. Surprise her, but make her feel comfortable. Make it different, but make her feel at home. But mostly, make it someplace that you like."
I like thinking that all of us who are, for whatever reason, New Yorkers have a part of our hearts that feel so romantic toward our town…
Gee, my favorite scene in the series is probably also a Natalie/Jeremy scene, but it's the poker scene. But then, I'm not a New Yorker. (Although it's a close call between that scene and a good storytelling moment, where Casey tells Gordon "You're wearing my shirt".)
More great memories, thank you!
I'm so glad that this series hasn't been forgotten.
My favorite memory will always be the pilot, when Dan stands up to Casey and calls him on his angry, self-pitying bullshit. It's hard for Dan to really open up but when he does he's focused like a laser beam. His anger is so sharp it's coming from someone who cares deeply about his friend and where he's taking himself. I get choked up just thinking about it.
One more favorite scene, because it was just so perfect and necessary, was the wonderful scene between Dan and Isaac in "The Aplogy" which ends with Isaac gently saying: "You know I love you, right? Because I love you I can tell you this: no young rich white guy has ever gotten anywhere with me by comparing himself to Rosa Parks."

With so much adventure, you'll want to stay! BC's newest adventure park offers extreme zip lining, with lines over 1400 ft., clocking speeds at over 42 km/hour. Race side by side on the last line, then take a leap of faith on the Quick Jump, a sensation of free falling while safely lowering you to the ground.
There is fun for the whole family. Send the kids to the inflatable park while you enjoy vistas, wildlife and birdwatching from our hiking trails.
Wrap up the evening with a sunset wildlife safari in our troop carrier. We'll send you off with an experienced guide and a bottle of wine and snacks.
