770 - GoGoMount Astral Form
From Krystallus @ curse.com via private message:
Currently, the game allows a druid in astral form to mount up without cancelling the shapeshift. I noticed the addon does not currently support this. It's low priority, but if it could be coded in, I would be greatly appreciative.

Poppy Delevingne Reveals Her Next Move
Poppy Delevingne says she's not only ready to make a career change, but she's also leaving the UK to do it. "I'm off to Hollywood to try my luck as an actress," the model — and recently engaged sister of fellow Burberry face Cara — recently told the Daily Mail. "I've always wanted to be in films and I'm not sure I can stay a model forever."
And though Delevingne is definitely not the first model to make the switch to acting, she does already have a little experience under her belt. In 2000 she played the lead in the romantic short Perfect, and more recently in 2009, she had a small part in the Philip Seymour Hoffman period comedy Pirate Radio.
A look back at some of our favorite Delevingne modeling moments here, in the gallery.

Two House lawmakers plan to introduce legislation that would relax the regulation of nonadmitted insurers. The proposal would subject nonadmitted insurers only to the premium taxes of a policyholder's home state and reinsurers only to the solvency regulations of their state of domicile. Observers note that the bill could ease access to coastal coverage.

Thread: THIS In The Trash? Really???
THIS In The Trash? Really???
Meat with freezer burn.
Every time I see the commercial that shows lots of steak, etc. go into the trash because of freezer burn, I do a burn.
We do have a shrink wrap food saver. I didn't always have one though and sometimes I find something tucked and stored out of sight in a zip lock. I've never had more than a little/some freezer burn on anything. I cut ouround it and use the good part. The burned part I cook up for the dogs. Even if all of a piece of meat had freezer burn, I'd still cook it for the pets or give it to a neighbor who has pets.
Does anyone really just trash the whole thing?

No, we don't trash it either. I'm not sure what the actual health hazards are. But I know we've had freezer burned chicken (not bad, but some), and the only problem was it was a bit dry. Mostly food doesn't stay in our freezer long enough to get freezer burn. And we label everything and try to use it within a year at the latest...depending what it is.

I will use it but not as the main meat. In a stew or soup. I say if you cover it up with enough sauce you cant really tell. But meat doesnt last to long in our freezer so I rarely have that problem.
04-01-2009, 12:44 AM #6I clean out the big freezer about once every nine months or so. I throw out any meat that has been there for over 6 months. If the meat is less than 6 months old but has freezer burn, it gets tossed. Normally it is only a couple of packs of chicken, or hamburger meat. Maybe on a rare instance some ribs. Never anything too huge or too expensive though.
I do have pets but I won't feed them anything I wouldn't feed my family. One of my dogs has a sensitive tummy and I already have to fork over between $200-$300 every few months for her belly aches as it is. One time I had to spend $600 in 48 hours over her tummy issues. It would be my luck the meat would make her sick and we would be back in the vet's office again.

I haven't had any freezer burned meat since I went to Ziploc bags. If it has frost on it, that's ok to me. But if it's clearly to the point where the meat is encased in ice or burnt beyond comfort, I won't cook it for my family.

It doesn't happen often, but I toss it too. I don't have a dog to give it to, and I don't know anyone who would want it for their dogs :dunno:

04-01-2009, 08:18 AM #9I usually don`t have much and I toss it.
04-01-2009, 08:26 AM #10I also usually don't have this problem, but I do throw mine out if it is burnt too bad.
04-01-2009, 08:50 AM #11We toss it. There is no hiding that taste from my family. It doesn't matter what sauce you would put on it. No one would be eating it.

A litte frost is fine....but nasty freezer burn where it is encased in ice - I'd toss it. In 16.5 years of being married, I'd say I've only thrown away less than 5 or 6 packages, maybe less. I'm a pretty good manager of my freezer, though.

For us, with only 2 people, 1 pet and a small fridge freezer, I'll have to say that I can't remember the last piece of meat I discarded because of freezer burn? I would think that if you end up discarding meat regularly that you're buying too much? I have a magnetic clip on my fridge with a 3 x 5 cards in it. (I had some colored 3 x 5 cards.) My red cards are meat. When I put something in the freezer, I write it on the card and the date. When I go for meat from the freezer, I use the oldest beef, chicken, or whatever listed. Simple, cheap, and has kept us from throwing meat away for the past two years.
I lost most of my frozen meat this last year, but that was because we were without power for 5 days.

04-01-2009, 09:34 AM #14So it sounds like stockpiling meat is not worth it? I have thrown out veggies to because they seem to be freezer burnt.
I guess I don't stock up on that kind of stuff because of this. Maybe there is a better storing issue to avoid freezer burn?
04-01-2009, 09:56 AM #15I toss anything that is badly freezer burnt too. However it doesn't happen often! Maybe once or twice a year.

IT HAS taken three years of stonewalling and bad-mouthing. But this week Argentina's government formally issued its take-it-or-leave-it offer to holders of $81 billion of bonds on which it defaulted in December 2001. The terms are harsh. Even so, most bondholders will probably accept them. What is less clear is whether this will be enough to turn Argentina's powerful recovery from economic collapse into sustained credit-driven growth.
At a series of presentations around the world due to start on January 14th, Argentine officials will present creditors with a choice of 16 different bonds in four currencies. One set aimed at individuals maintains its face value, but pays little interest and will not mature until 2038. Another, aimed at investment funds, involves a loss of two-thirds of face value but pays more interest. In all cases, the present value of the new bonds is barely above 30 cents per dollar originally invested. This write-down is nearly twice as big as the average in recent sovereign-debt restructurings.
Many bondholders are furious. They say Argentina, whose economy is growing strongly (see chart), could pay more. That is debatable. Even if most bondholders agree to the swap, Argentina's public debt would still stand at a whopping 80-90% or so of GDP. But what can the bondholders do? The government has few assets abroad that its creditors could seize.
Argentine officials have kept up their bullying tone to the end: they vow not to pay a cent to those who reject the deal. They know that co-ordination among hundreds of thousands of investors is hard. Much of the debt is held by locals or by "vulture" funds which bought it cheap.
Despite Argentina's rough treatment of its creditors, emerging-market debt has boomed over the past 15 months. So the potential resale value of the new bonds has risen, adding ten cents or so on the dollar to the offer. Even so, there is a risk. In the past, foreign courts have tended to award full repayment to bondholders who stick it out. Even if only a minority do, this could be costly. But a "successful" debt deal would allow Argentina to resume talks with the IMF on rolling over the $14.4 billion it owes the Fund. The government has defined success as swapping at least 50% of bonds; the IMF says 80%.
If Argentina's gamble pays off, President Néstor Kirchner will make the popular claim that he has outfaced the IMF and foreign "speculators". But even a successful deal will leave a sour taste in the capital markets. The government's calculation is that it—and the economy—can live without foreign financing. Thanks to booming prices for its farm exports, and extraordinary taxes on them, the government racked up a primary fiscal surplus (ie, before debt payments) of 4.2% of GDP last year. The new bonds' long maturity and low interest rates should make debt service manageable. Meanwhile, officials say that investment will come from Argentines' repatriating capital to supply buoyant domestic demand.
The trellis underpinning such rosy reckonings is a booming world economy awash with cheap money. If and when those conditions change, Argentina could find itself in trouble again—and with no stock of goodwill.

Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests hardly soured the national mood compared to news that former president Roh Moo-hyun had jumped off a cliff. An EU trade agreement stalls over South Korea's huge auto trade imbalance. Ssangyong temporarily closes its main plant. And a great crab restaurant in the heart of the tourist district.
Top News: North Korea alarmed the world by conducting a second nuclear test and firing off a series of short-range missiles from the east and west coast of the country. The nuclear test, which caused a 4.5 magnitude earthquake, is said to have been more powerful than the first test in 2006.
The government also took a strong approach by joining the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI). This allows the South to intercept North Korean vessels or aircrafts in its water and airspace if they are suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction.
Pyongyang balked and said it is no longer bound by the armistice that froze the Korean War in 1953. North Korea had said in the past that joining the PSI would be tantamount to an act of war.
The nuclear test came at a time when South Koreans were mourning the sudden death of former president Roh Moo-hyun, who committed suicide in the midst of a corruption investigation.
People stood in lines for hours to pay their respects at makeshift mourning altars that sprouted up all over the country.
Many expressed anger and disbelief at Pyongyang for conducting such an act during a time of mourning. Yet most South Koreans did not show much concern over the nuclear test. Instead, the news of the late president dominated the national mood. Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets on the day of Roh's funeral, bringing the country to a standstill.
For the first time, South Korea's highest court ensured a 76-year-old brain-dead woman the right to die. The Supreme Court ordered doctors to remove the life support system from the patient, on the grounds that she showed no signs of recovery and had implicitly expressed her thoughts about death in the past.
The woman's family asked the hospital to remove her life support system last year, but doctors refused, saying the move would violate current medical laws. A lower court had earlier granted the woman the right to die with dignity after her family filed a suit, but the hospital appealed and brought the case in front of the top court.
The case is expected to fire up debate in a country that has a roughly 30 percent Christian population and large Buddhist influence.
Money: The signing of a free trade agreement between South Korea and the European Union will likely be pushed back to the second half of the year, due to a deadlock in negotiations over areas such as the auto industry.
Both sides had aimed to make progress during a weekend summit after the South Korean trade minister and EU trade commissioner failed to reach a breakthrough during April talks.
The EU is South Korea's second largest trade partner after China, but disagreements about duty drawback and concern about the imbalance in auto trade have become some of the major sticking points. South Korea exports at least 10 times more cars to the European countries than it imports from them, according to 2008 data.
Ssangyong Motors, South Korea's ailing automaker, temporarily shut its main factory, which was taken over by workers protesting against the company's plans to cut jobs. The company said the move was taken to prevent further losses after workers went on strike May 21, shortly after the automaker announced it would cut more than 30 percent of its workforce.
Ssangyong, the country's smallest car manufacturer, specializes in sports-utility vehicles. It has been one of the auto industry's worst hit by the economic crisis, but has won court protection from creditors.
Elsewhere: On a lighter note, "Moonhwa Gonggan," a restaurant that specializes in marinated raw crab, is located in the heart of a busy tourist district, Myeongdong, but is relatively unknown to South Koreans. The name of the restaurant means "culture space" in Korean but has no clear connection with artwork or any particular themes on culture.
Instead the place offers fresh raw crab marinated in soy sauce with hot chilies and is served with a bowl of steaming rice cooked in a stone bowl. The owner sometimes demonstrates how to mix the rice into a crab shell drizzled with sesame oil to eat with chunks of crabmeat. The freshness of the crab and slightly spicy sauce that comes with it usually calls for a second bowl of rice.

Ischemic Vagus Nuclei Lesions and Hyperglycemia: A Study in 26 Patients with Lateral Medullary Infarction and Matched ControlsRuano L.a · Alves I.a · Barreto R.a · Araújo I.b · Veira C.a · Cruz V.T.a, baNeurology Department, Hospital São Sebastião, Centro Hospitalar Entre Douro e Vouga, Santa Maria da Feira, and bSecção Autónoma de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade de Aveiro, Campus Universitário de Santiago, Aveiro, Portugal Corresponding Author |
Background: Hyperglycemia is common after stroke in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Furthermore, it has been associated with infarct expansion, worse functional outcomes and higher mortality. In a previous study, infarction of the insular region was related to higher poststroke glucose levels than infarcts in other cortical areas. Experimental studies in animal models suggested that the lower brainstem nuclei of the vagus nerve modulate insulin secretion. These nuclei are usually affected in lateral medullary infarction (LMI). We evaluated whether patients with lateral medullary stroke have worse poststroke glycemic control than other stroke patients. Methods: A hospital-based stroke registry was used to identify 26 patients from the years 2000 to 2010 who fulfilled the following inclusion criteria: (1) a first-ever stroke; (2) neurological deficits compatible with LMI; (3) MRI confirmation of an ischemic lesion of the lateral medulla involving the vagus nerve nuclei, and (4) no simultaneous infarcts. Patients were excluded if they were admitted to the hospital more than 24 h after stroke onset or died in the first 24 h after hospital admission. A control group of other stroke patients was randomly selected from the same stroke registry and over the same time period, matching for the age and gender of the LMI group. The average glycemia was compared between the two groups using a linear regression model adjusted for confounders. Glycated hemoglobin at admission was used to estimate prestroke glycemic control. Prestroke glycemic averages were then compared with poststroke glycemia for the two groups using the Wilcoxon signed test for related samples. Results: The average glycemia of the LMI patients in the first 24 h after stroke was 9.4 mmol/l (SD 3.2), and from 24 to 72 h it was 7.6 mmol/l (SD 2.8). In the comparison group, these values were 7.7 (SD 2.8) and 7.1 mmol/l (SD 2.7), respectively. As expected, diabetic patients had a significantly higher glycemia than nondiabetic patients (p < 0.0001). The adjusted linear regression model showed the average glycemia differences to be significant for the first 24 h (p = 0.001; R2 = 55.6%) but not for the 24– 72 h period. The frequency of previous diabetes mellitus was similar in both groups. As compared to prestroke glycemic estimates, glycemia in lateral medullary stroke patients increased significantly more than in controls during the first 24 h after stroke (p = 0.01), but again there were no significant differences for the 24–72 h period. Conclusions: This study suggests that ischemic lesions of the vagus nerve nuclei are associated with worse early poststroke glycemic control than stroke in other locations. Confirmation of this hypothesis and the long-term implications of glucose control impairment warrant further prospective studies.

Poststroke hyperglycemia is common in diabetic and nondiabetic patients [1]. Furthermore, there is strong and consistent evidence that hyperglycemia is an independent determinant of infarct expansion [2,3], worse functional outcome and mortality [4,5,6,7].
A study found that infarct of the insular region was associated with higher poststroke glucose levels than infarct in other cortical areas [8]. The acute hyperglycemic effects of vascular lesions in other cerebral areas involved in parasympathetic control, namely in the brainstem, are not established.
The regulation of glucose homeostasis depends on the central integration, probably in the insula, of afferent stimuli generated by specialized receptor cells in the bowels and blood vessels. Efferent signaling is generated towards the liver, muscles, blood vessels and pancreas. The vagus nerve tract seems to have a major role in both pathways of this complex metabolic reflex [9]. Experimental models in mice suggest that the nucleus ambiguus is a source of vagal motoneurons that facilitate insulin secretion by the pancreas [10] and that the dorsal nucleus of the vagus nerve is the source of excitatory and inhibitory inputs that modulate insulin secretion [11]. The extent of the role of vagus nerve nuclei in the modulation of insulin secretion in humans is not well known. The study of patients with ischemic infarction of the medulla, classically associated with Wallenberg syndrome, may represent a good opportunity to evaluate this subject. Lateral medullary infarcts (LMI) are very diverse and show multiple patterns of medullary involvement [12]. Nevertheless, the vagus nerve nuclei are usually damaged in large LMI [13]. These are commonly caused by posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) or vertebral artery infarctions.
The aim of this study was to assess whether patients with LMI have worse poststroke glycemic control than patients with stroke in other locations.
Patients and Methods
This was an observational study performed in a group of patients with LMI and a comparison group of other ischemic stroke patients. A prospective stroke registry from a 300-bed hospital with a reference population of 350,000 was used to identify LMI patients admitted from 2000 to 2010. They were compared with a control group of other stroke patients. This comparison group was randomly selected from the same stroke registry, matching for gender and age group (5 years) of the LMI patients, over the equivalent time period.
LMI Patients Selection Criteria. Patients were included if they were admitted with (1) a first-ever stroke, (2) neurological deficits compatible with LMI (dysarthria, dysphagia, vertigo, sensibility loss, ataxia) and (3) MRI confirmation of LMI with involvement of the vagus nerve nuclei. Patients were excluded if they (1) died in the first 24 h of their hospital stay, (2) had simultaneous infarct of another cerebral region or (3) were admitted to hospital more than 24 h after stroke onset.
MRI Analysis. We used the definitions and schematic drawing of the medullar structures by Kim [13] to identify patients with 'typical' and 'large' LMI demonstrated on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, diffusion-weighted and T2-weighted MRI. Therefore, we selected patients with topographical lesions of the vagus nerve nuclei in the territory of both the medial and the lateral branch of the PICA.
Control Group Selection Criteria. The control group consisted of patients admitted with a first-ever ischemic stroke, except those with ischemic involvement of the insular region or any of the exclusion criteria listed above.
Poststroke glycemic measurements were performed at regular periods and registered by clinical protocol in the first 72 h after admission, disregarding the patient's previous diabetic state. Short-acting insulin was given when glycemia was higher than 8.3 mmol/l. Patients were on the same dietary protocol. High-calorie supplements were not given to patients in the period of the study. Since 2008, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been routinely assessed at admission.
Baseline clinical data [gender, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission, HbA1c on the day of admission and previous diabetic status] and potential confounders (infection, steroid therapy) were collected from the stroke registry database and clinical records.
We compared the average glucose levels between LMI patients and controls, in the 0–24 h and 24–72 h periods, using a linear regression model adjusted for confounding factors. These two periods were selected according to previous studies that showed biphasic hyperglycemic peaks [14]. Confounding was tested for previous diabetic state, infection and NIHSS score at admission. Interaction was also tested for age. The average glycemia of the previous 1–3 months (AG1–3 months) is linearly correlated with HbA1c by the following equation: AG1–3 months (mg/dl) = (HbA1c × 35.6) – 77.3 [15].
In the subgroups of LMI patients (n = 11) and controls (n = 19) admitted after 2008, the HbA1c at admission was used to estimate average prestroke glucose levels. The differences between individual average pre- and poststroke glycemia were compared using the Wilcoxon signed test for related samples. The statistical package used was IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0.
Of 36 patients admitted with LMI, 33 were first-ever strokes and 26 complied with the selection criteria. The main cause of exclusion was hospital admission more than 24 h after stroke onset (n = 5). There was also 1 death in the first 24 h and 1 patient with simultaneous insular involvement, both of whom were excluded. The 7 excluded patients had an average age of 59.0 years (SD 17.4) and were predominantly males (85.7%); none had diabetes.
The distribution of ischemic lesions in the 26 patients from the comparison group was as follows: 56.5% in the anterior circulation, 26.1% in the posterior cerebral artery and 17.4% in the superior cerebellar artery.
The number of patients with previous diabetes and HbA1c values at admission was similar between LMI patients and the comparison group (table 1). Pulmonary infection developed in the first 72 h after stroke in 11.5% of LMI patients and in none of the patients in the comparison group. The average number of glycemic measurements used in the study was 8.9 for the patients in the comparison group and 9.3 for LMI patients, with a minimum of 6 for both groups.
Table 1. Patients' clinical data at baseline |
The serum glucose of LMI patients showed a biphasic curve over time, with peaks in the 6–12 h (10.3 mmol/l) and 60–66 h (8.6 mmol/l) intervals after stroke. The comparison group patients followed a similar pattern, but with lower glucose levels (fig. 1).
Fig. 1. Average poststroke glycemia in patients with LMI and other ischemic stroke patients (Controls). |
As expected, diabetic patients had significantly higher glycemia than the nondiabetic patients (p < 0.0001). Patients' age, gender, stroke side, NIHSS score and infection were not associated with glycemic control for either the 0–24 h or 24–72 h poststroke periods. In the first 24 h after stroke, the average glycemia of LMI patients was 9.4 mmol/l (SD 3.2); for the patients in the comparison group, it was 7.4 mmol/l (SD 2.3). In a linear regression model adjusted for previous diabetic state, this difference was found to be significant (p = 0.002; R2 = 46.5%). In the 24–72 h period, the LMI patients had an average glycemia of 7.6 mmol/l (SD 2.8), and for the comparison group patients, it was 7.1 mmol/l (SD 1.8). This difference was not significant (p = 0.29).
In the subgroup analysis of patients with HbA1c assessed at admission (admitted after 2008), the LMI patients had higher median poststroke glycemia than the estimate for the past 3 months (fig. 2). This difference was found to be significant only for the first 24 h after stroke (p = 0.01). There were no significant differences between pre- and poststroke glycemia in the control group (p = 0.53).
Fig. 2. Comparison between prestroke glycemic values (estimated by HbA1c at admission) and poststroke glycemia in patients with LMI and in other ischemic stroke patients (Controls). |
The average glycemia levels in the poststroke period in our patients are in line with other studies [1,8,14]. The biphasic glycemic curve observed has already been described [14], though its cause remains uncertain. LMI patients had significantly higher glycemic values than patients with other stroke locations in the first 24 h after stroke. In the 24–72 h period, this was not evident. When compared to prestroke values, glycemic control worsened in LMI patients. Again, this difference was only significant for the first 24 h. The control group patients had glycemic values comparable to those of the prestroke period.
The observed differences were not significant in the 24–72 h period. The reason could be a low statistical power or that the time frame chosen did not fully capture the second glycemic peak.
This study has some important limitations. It has a relatively small number of cases and may be underpowered. This number reflects the strict inclusion criteria regarding the extent of the PICA infarction, with demonstrable involvement of the vagus nerve nuclei. Patients who arrived late at the hospital or died early, and therefore did not have a reasonable number of poststroke glycemic values, were excluded. This was the main reason behind the exclusion of 21% of eligible patients. Furthermore, glycemic values were routinely registered by clinical protocol, but not for the purpose of this study. The 0–72 h observation window was selected because after this period, glycemic measurements are ceased in patients without hyperglycemia. Since the role of the insular region was previously established, we excluded patients with possible insular ischemic lesions. So, the comparable effects of complete and inferior branch middle cerebral artery infarcts were not assessed.
The use of a control group allowed correction for stress-induced hyperglycemia and other stroke-related factors. Confounding by age or gender was addressed by matching the controls. The random selection process resulted in two groups with very similar patterns of diabetes. The patients underwent the same protocols of glycemic control, insulin administration and feeding. None of the patients involved in this study was given corticosteroids or high-calorie nutritional supplements. The infection rate was higher in the LMI patients; however, this did not seem to be associated with higher glycemic values.
This study seems to support the hypothesis that vascular lesions of the vagus nerve nuclei worsen poststroke glycemic control. Additionally, it supports the proposed role of the vagus nerve as an important relay for brain modulation of pancreatic insulin secretion. Nevertheless, the results may not be definitive, and further clinical research is required to confirm these statements. As with previous studies addressing insular infarction, our results reinforce the hypothesis that poststroke hyperglycemia may be associated with particular stroke locations. This possibility should encourage a closer look at the impact of hyperglycemia and tight glycemic control in these subgroups. Furthermore, the assessment of other possible manifestations of autonomic dysfunction should also be carried out in future studies of patients with LMI.
We would like to thank Prof. Carolina Silva for her critical review of the study methods and statistics.

Justices Will Hear Ohio's Gay Marriage Cases April 28
The Supreme Court will hear arguments over same-sex marriage on April 28.
Ohio State athletic administrators say they want to make OSU's sports team the most tolerant in the nation.
That sound comes from a new video by the Ohio State men's hockey team as part of the nationwide "You Can Play†campaign, which looks to root out discrimination in college sports.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith says athletics have long been too accepting of anti-gay sentiments.
"So what we want to do is create a culture of acceptance, regardless of your personal interests or what you do. It's OK.â€
Smith made his comments on All Sides with Ann Fisher Tuesday morning.
Leaders of the "You Can Play†campaign say they appreciate OSU's participation and hope it's a sign that major athletics programs are less accepting of discrimination.

Quick Review: NZXT Sleeved LED Kit
When you are shopping for your sleeved cables for your next build, don't forget the lighting!
NZXT has been releasing not only some top notch chassis designs like we saw in the Phantom, they are also keeping with the trend and offering them up in red, black and white, as other manufacturers are starting to offer the same options. Keeping on top of what the customers are looking to buy is what keeps NZXTs name showing up in all the recommendations. It wasn't too long ago that they introduced they were going to offer individually sleeved cables. These take all of the time and guesswork out of doing them at home and offer red, black, and white sleeved cable adapters to keep the interior tidy and very custom in appearance. One thing that sets the NZXT sleeved cables apart from all the services out there is the simple fact that they sell for $9 apiece. I can barely get the sleeving and heat shrink for that cost! Now they are even offering a lighting solution for those who want to take their chassis to the next level of customization. Now you will also find sleeved LED lights to add a customizable amount of lighting, anywhere you want to stick it. Keeping the budget builder in mind, you can find it for that very friendly $9.99 directly from NZXT pricing. We received the blue version of the kit, in the one meter length. You can see, if blue isn't going to go well in your build, NZXT offers up red, green, white, or orange as choices, and also a two meter version. If you grab the one meter kit that I have here, you get twelve LEDs, with three intensities, and the option to turn them completely off. Now, if you get the two meter version, which covers close to one revolution around the open side of your case, you double the LEDs as well. Now let's get this thing open and see what you get! Along with the strip of lights, you will find a full assortment of components to get the case lighting handled. There are six clips with double sided tape on the back to secure the cable just about anywhere. There is a 4-pin Molex connector that gets powered from the power supply and with the use of a 3-pin connector it plugs into the PCB of the light controller. |
Speaking of which, NZXT offers you a black PCB mounted to a black expansion slot cover, keeping that theme dark on the inside, and of course matching the interior of most cases. The plate allows access to the power on/off switch, and a three position switch to control the brightness of the LEDs. To complete the simple installation, you get the screw to mount the bracket in place. One meter of sleeved cabling terminates on one end with a simple piece of heat shrink tube. To power the lights, the opposing end uses a two pin connection that will connect to the PCB. If any of this is confusing you, don't worry, the included instructions offers good diagrams and drawings to show where they connect and how to get the Sleeved LED Kit fully functional. With the one meter kit being priced at an affordable $9.99 from NZXT, and the fact that the two meter version will only set you back an additional $5 per kit, this is a super cheap solution to flooding your case with lights. Think of the possibilities! Accenting behind the motherboard, running lights where Cold Cathodes don't fit, or maybe even an under-glow effect if you mounted them under the case. The possibilities are endless, and with five choices of colors and the budget friendly price, you can take your case to the next level without all the hassle. NZXT offers a clean looking solution to any case lighting ideas, and you don't have to hide that ugly blue inverter box! |

dc.description.abstract | Low-frequency fluctuations of plasma density, floating potential, ion saturation current, visible light intensity, and edge magnetic field are routinely observed in the Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX). For the purposes of this thesis, we define low-frequency as W << Wbe where Wbe is the electron bounce frequency. These fluctuations in a laboratory dipole confined plasma lead to turbulence mixing that maintain peaked density profiles. The relationship between the different types of low-frequency fluctuations and plasma density transport is considered. Two 16-channel photodiode arrays were designed and constructed to study the spatial and temporal structure of these fluctuations as part of this dissertation. In addition to the photodiode arrays, a four-channel microwave interferometer is used to estimate the density profile and to measure density fluctuations in the plasma. Several electrostatic probes, including a 24-channel floating probe array, measure fluctuations at the plasma edge and eight Mirnov coils measure magnetic fluctuations. The fluctuations fall into three general categories: broadband, turbulent fluctuations observed during nearly all plasma conditions; quasi-coherent fluctuations with low azimuthal mode numbers and peak frequencies on the order 1 kHz observed during discharges with low neutral pressure; and coherent fluctuations with zero toroidal mode number and peak frequencies on the order of 100 Hz, observed during discharges with moderate neutral fueling. The relationship between time-averaged fluctuation characteristics and plasma parameters are explored. The spatial structure of the fluctuations for several representative shots are discussed. The turbulent fluctuations and concurrent density profiles are compared to quasilinear diffusion of interchange mixing in dipolar plasmas for cases where the fluctuations are random. I show that the quasilinear diffusion equation agrees well with the experimental observations of random fluctuations, supporting the conclusion that interchange mixing is causing inward transport that results in peaked density profiles. For other cases, where nonlinear effects appear to dominate the plasma dynamics, the saturated fluctuation amplitudes are compared to the plasma density profiles. | en_US |
