She was only ten
when I first met her,
washing her bloody underwear.
Its normal I assured her.
I didnt understand that
I was in Africa.
This wasnt from maturing early.
At night is when it hurts the most,
and I cry.
Wishing that
I could help her,
keep her safe
keep all of the orphans safe.
I tried so hard to keep my girls
out of harms way
yet harm has a way of coming back
and half a world away
I cant help
Theres nothing I can do
but cry.
At night is when it hurts the most
Lying on my bed
Nightmares dancing on my ceiling
She calls me from the hospital
He got in again.
Was it my fault?

Study: Glaciers contribute significant iron in Atlantic Ocean
March 11, 2013 4:24 pm | News | CommentsAll living organisms rely on iron as an essential nutrient. In the ocean, iron's abundance or scarcity means all the difference as it fuels the growth of plankton. A new study from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution identifies an unexpectedly large source of iron to the North Atlantic—meltwater from glaciers and ice sheets, which may stimulate plankton growth. This source is likely to increase as melting of the Greenland ice sheet escalates under a warming climate.
Earth warmer today than during most of past 11,300 years
March 8, 2013 9:55 am | News | CommentsWith data from 73 ice and sediment core monitoring sites around the world, scientists have recently reconstructed Earth's temperature history back to the end of the last Ice Age. The analysis reveals that the planet today is warmer than it's been during 70 to 80% of the last 11,300 years.
How to thrive in battery acid and among toxic metals
March 8, 2013 9:50 am | News | CommentsLike the extraterrestrial creature in the movie Alien, the "extremophile" red alga Galdieria sulphuraria can survive brutal heat and resist the effects of toxins. Scientists were previously unsure of how a one-celled alga acquired such flexibility and resilience. But recently they made an unexpected discovery: Galdieria's genome shows clear signs of borrowing genes from its neighbors.
Study reveals coastal regions' sensitivity to ocean acidification
March 1, 2013 2:18 pm | News | CommentsA continental-scale chemical survey in the waters of the eastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico is helping researchers determine how distinct bodies of water will resist changes in acidity. The study, which measures varying levels of carbon dioxide and other forms of carbon in the ocean. According to the survey, different regions of coastal ocean will respond to an influx of carbon dioxide in different ways.
Researchers marvel at world's deepest sea vents
February 27, 2013 10:03 pm | by David McFadden, Associated Press | News | CommentsResearchers steering a remote-controlled submarine around the world's deepest known hydrothermal vents have collected numerous samples from depths reaching more than 3 miles below the sea's surface between the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. They believe that laboratory analysis in the coming months will reveal some new life forms that have evolved in the pitch-black vent areas of the Cayman Trough, where mineral-rich fluid gushes from volcanic chimneys.
Study: First evidence that magnetism helps salmon find home
February 11, 2013 9:24 am | News | CommentsWhen migrating, sockeye salmon typically swim up to 4,000 miles into the ocean and then, years later, navigate back to the upstream reaches of the rivers in which they were born to spawn their young. Scientists have long wondered how salmon find their way to their home rivers over such epic distances. A new study suggests that salmon find their home rivers by sensing the rivers' unique magnetic signature.
Nitrogen from pollution, natural sources causes growth of toxic algae
February 8, 2013 7:56 am | News | CommentsResearchers recently found that nitrogen entering the ocean—whether through natural processes or pollution—boosts the growth and toxicity of a group of phytoplankton that can cause the human illness "amnesic shellfish poisoning". Commonly found in marine waters off the North American West Coast, these diatoms produce a potent toxin called domoic acid. When these phytoplankton grow rapidly into massive blooms, high concentrations of domoic acid put human health at risk if it accumulates in shellfish.
U.K.'s space age Antarctic base can slide across ice
February 6, 2013 12:29 pm | by Rapahel Satter, Associated Press | News | CommentsBritish researchers have unveiled a futuristic Antarctic research base that can move, sliding across the frozen surface to beat the shifting ice and pounding snow that doomed its predecessors. Its builders hope that the Halley VI Research Station, the sixth facility to occupy the site on the Brunt Ice Shelf, can adapt to the unpredictable ice conditions.
Scientists find "bipolar" marine bacteria, refuting biological theory
January 15, 2013 9:46 am | News | CommentsIn another blow to the "Everything is Everywhere" tenet of bacterial distribution in the ocean, scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory have found "bipolar" species of bacteria that occur in the Arctic and Antarctic, but nowhere else. And, surprisingly, they found even fewer bipolar species than would turn up by chance if marine bacteria were randomly distributed everywhere.
Giant squid captured on video in ocean depths
January 9, 2013 6:24 pm | by Malcolm Foster, Associated Press | News | CommentsAfter years of searching, scientists and broadcasters say they have captured video images of a giant squid in its natural habitat deep in the ocean for the first time. Japanese public broadcaster NHK released photographs of the giant squid this week ahead of Sunday's show about the encounter. The Discovery Channel will air its program on Jan. 27.
On the ice: Trio of complex Antarctic science efforts reach milestones
December 21, 2012 1:06 pm | News | CommentsIn the past week, researchers with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS) project, the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) project and the Pine Island Glacier (PIG) project each announced they had achieved these various milestones. In each case, the successes were based on innovative drilling technologies and promise to open new scientific vistas for Antarctic research.
Scientists track ocean currents using uranium-236
December 17, 2012 12:35 pm | News | CommentsAtmospheric nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s produced significant amounts of uranium-236. This isotope readily dissolves in seawater, giving researchers today the opportunity to investigate ocean currents by monitoring its concentration. Until recent advances in heavy ion mass spectrometry, however, this type of detection was considered impossible.
Top officials meet at ONR in response to Arctic changes
December 14, 2012 10:28 am | by David Smalley, Office of Naval Research | News | CommentsThe rapid retreat of sea ice in the Arctic has attracted the attention of top naval officials who have recently held an Arctic Summit at the Office of Naval Research to discuss their reponse to what will likely be a increased volume of human activity in the region. Although the meeting did not discuss policy, it did highlight the many potential areas of impact, from oil drilling to tourism.
Crevasses, bendable ice affect stability of Antartica ice shelf
December 10, 2012 8:09 am | News | CommentsGaping crevasses that penetrate upward from the bottom of the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula make it more susceptible to collapse, according to researchers who spent the last four Southern Hemisphere summers studying the massive Larsen C Ice Shelf. But the team, which used radar technology to study the composition of the ice shelf, also identified structures that contributed to the shelf's resilience.
Scientists unravel the mystery of marine methane oxidation
November 13, 2012 10:39 am | News | CommentsVast amounts of methane are stored under the ocean floor, and anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulfate respiration prevents the release of this gas. Though discovered decades ago, the mechanism for how microorganisms performed this reaction has remained a mystery. According to recent findings, a single microorganism can do this on its own, and does not need to be carried out in collaboration with a bacterium as previously thought.
A strange diet for methane-consuming microorganisms
November 6, 2012 12:36 pm | News | CommentsTo keep cellular systems running all cells need fuel. For certain ocean-dwelling microorganisms, methane can be such a fuel. But researchers studying these creatures had previously assumed that the methane they consumed was used as a carbon source. However, recent studies have surprisingly shown that is not the case and will force scientists to reevaluate the microorganisms' role in inactivating environmental methane.
Small marine organisms' big changes could affect world climate
October 30, 2012 1:08 pm | News | CommentsIn the future, warmer waters could significantly change ocean distribution of populations of phytoplankton, tiny organisms that could have a major effect on climate change. Researchers have recently shown that by the end of the 21st century, warmer oceans will cause populations of these marine microorganisms to thrive near the poles and shrink in equatorial waters.
Opposite behaviors? Arctic sea ice shrinks while Antarctic ice grows
October 24, 2012 8:15 am | by Maria-José Viñas, NASA | News | CommentsA new NASA study shows that from 1978 to 2010 the total extent of sea ice surrounding Antarctica in the Southern Ocean grew by roughly 6,600 square miles every year, an area larger than the state of Connecticut. However, this growth rate is not nearly as large as the decrease in the Arctic, which has scientists questioning the reasons for the growth. Atmospheric circulation may be one cause.
Acidification recorder recovered from icy Antarctic waters
October 19, 2012 10:23 am | News | CommentsA research team from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Portland State University has retrieved a sensor containing previously unavailable data about changes in chemistry or acidification in the remote waters of McMurdo Sound in Antarctica. The device collected data through June, when the battery expired in the harsh polar sea.
Ice sheet retreat controlled by the landscape
October 17, 2012 12:56 pm | News | CommentsA U.K. research team has recently determined that the geometry of channels beneath the ice can be a strong control on ice behaviour, temporarily hiding the signals of retreat. The findings, which provide the first simulation of past ice-sheet retreat and collapse over a ten thousand year period in Antarctica, shed new light on what makes ice stable or unstable and will help refine predictions of future ice extent and global sea-level rise, the researchers say.
The chemical memory of seawater
October 2, 2012 8:52 am | News | CommentsWater does not forget, says Prof. Boris Koch, a chemist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research. With the combination of some new techniques, Koch and colleagues can now identify and retrace some of the biomolecular tracks left by living organism. This dissolved organic matter, detectable with mass spectrometry, is one of the largest active, organic carbon reservoirs on earth.
Sea-level study shows signs of things to come
October 2, 2012 3:34 am | News | CommentsOur greenhouse gas emissions up to now have triggered an irreversible warming of the Earth that will cause sea levels to rise for thousands of years to come, new research has show.

Quanbeck well on way to NFL status
By By Jill Meier
Challenger editor
March 26. 2013 9:26AM
In her 19 years as an oral interp coach, Gina Koehn has never nominated a student for the prestigious NFL the National Forensic League a speech and debate honor society for middle and high school students.
But shes finally getting her opportunity this year as a teacher-coach at Brandon Valley High School.
Junior Bailey Quanbeck has excelled in the sport of speech and debate, so much so shes accumulated 903 points to date. That point total alone has made her eligible for the NFL Academic All American Award based on her membership (points), grade point average and ACT score. She has the GPA and ACT score, and now needs just 97 more points to achieve the feat.
This is a first for me, said Koehn, who is in her ninth year as an English-speech and interp coach at Brandon Valley. I have never nominated a student for this before, as Ive never had a student who met all the criteria.
In fact, the most points accumulated under Koehns leadership was accumulated by Cody Strand, a 2008 Brandon Valley grad. He graduated with 500-plus points, remembers Koehn.
Talking seems to come naturally for Quanbeck, who intends to crack the 1,000-point mark in her senior year.
Im more inclined to practice something that I love talking, says Quanbeck, who took second place in the recent Brandon Valley Optimist Club-sponsored oratorical contest. She placed first in that same competition last year. Its really rewarding to go to tournaments, and win, she adds.
Quanbeck stumbled onto the NFL program as a high school freshman when she learned about a class that could take her to weekend speech and debate tournaments.
But as a young freshman, Quanbeck hadnt set her eyes on the prize just yet. When I was a freshman, I envisioned it as this: I just wanted to have a good time, she said.
Quanbeck routinely competes in oral interp, the high school fall play, variety night and speaks in church on occasion, all events that have garnered points toward her 903-point total.
Its just enjoyable, she says.
Koehn hopes Quanbecks success will inspire other BVHS students to excel in speech and debate as well.
Im hoping that Baileys success is an inspiration for other interp kids, she said. I already have some freshman who have set a goal to beat her points.
Brandon Valley High School Principal Gregg Talcott said its been more than 10 years since a Brandon Valley student had achieved the NFL honor. He cited the likes of Creighton Fraker, , Samantha Colburn and Carson Lee.
In the early 2000s, Fraker and Colburn placed third at the national competition, Talcott recalled.
Bailey excels in lots of things, Talcott said. But this is her passion. Shes a tremendous kid and a great representative for this school, so it would be wonderful if she could get to 1,000 points.
Quanbeck is the daughter of Mark and Anastasia Quanbeck of Brandon.
The National Forensic League honor society recognizes participation and progress in middle and high school public speaking and debating activities as a means to meet Common Core State Standards in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This nonprofit organization empowers educators with resources, fostering in students the ability to think critically, research persistently, articulate clearly, and lead ethically in a democratic society.
Since 1925, more than 1.4 million alumni have participated in the League, with more than 120,000 active members representing nearly 3,000 schools. The League awards more than $200,000 in college scholarships at its annual National Tournament, the largest academic competition in the world.

Wait is ludicrous.
Here are the views of our readers who have posted comments on our website icnewcastle.co.uk. To see more or add a message, log on to http://icnewcastle. icnetwork.co.uk/evening chronicle/haveyoursay/I am aghast that patients still have to wait up to six months and over for non-emergency surgery. Is the patient turnover longer in England than in the US? I live in a city of over 150,000 souls. We have two major hospitals and two ambulatory care hospitals, and no-one has to wait longer than a week for any kind of surgery. In fact you can see your doctor one day and be in the hospital the next. Perhaps the answer lies in the number of doctors you have and how many they can see a day, but six months is ludicrous for the English people to have wait for those periods. It's obvious there must be a better way to cutting the waiting lists down.
JEFF WRIGHt, Brownsville, Texas, USA
I SIT here writing this and find myself wondering just what is going on in the minds of some people. My mother is in her 60s and lives for her allotment. She tends to it every single day of every year, rain or shine. Two days ago my mother and father went to the allotment as usual only to find the shed burned to the ground and the greenhouse windows all broken and because of the heat, the fire had twisted the metal frames. This is not the first time the vandals have attacked the allotments and I doubt if it will be the last either. I, as a taxpayer of Gateshead, would like to see CCTV covering the allotments before any more damage is done.
JOAN, Gateshead.

text: About SCC Home | About SCC | News and Media | Latest economic impact study: SCC creates value in many ways Latest economic impact study: SCC creates value in many ways Posted: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 8:55 AM Southeast Community College has a tremendous positive regional economic impact, according to a recent analysis conducted by Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. of Idaho. EMSI, a CareerBuilder company, released its findings in December 2013. It used data from the 2012-2013 fiscal year as the basis for its report. Among its findings: During the analysis year, SCC and its students added $741.4 million in income to the SCC service area economy, approximately equal to 3.6 percent of the region's Gross Regional Product. That included an employee payroll of $62.4 million, much of which was spent in SCC's service area. The college spent another $48.2 million to support its day-to-day operations. In FY 2012-2013, state and local taxpayers in Nebraska paid $50.7 million to support the operations of SCC. For every dollar of public money spent on SCC, taxpayers receive a cumulative return of $4.10 over the course of students' working lives in the form of higher tax receipts and public sector savings, and society will receive a cumulative value of $50.10 in benefits for every dollar spent for as long as SCC's 2012-2013 students remain active in the state workforce. Taxpayers see an annual return of 12.3 percent on their investment in SCC. This return compares favorably with the 1.1 percent discount rate used by the federal government to appraise long-term investments. SCC's 2012-2013 students will receive an average annual rate of return of 16.9 percent on their investment in the college. This rate of return continues throughout their working lives. Had students and their families taken the money they spent on education and invested it instead in a standard bank savings account, they would have received a rate of return of less than 1 percent. On average, SCC's 2012-2013 students will receive a cumulative $3.50 in higher future income for every dollar they invested in their education. Over the years, students have studied at SCC and entered and re-entered the workforce with newly-acquired skills. Today, thousands of former students are employed in SCC's 15-county service area. In FY 2012-2013, the effect of former SCC students on the regional economy amounted to $653.3 million in added income. Job equivalents are a measure of the average-wage jobs that a given amount of income can potentially support. Based on the added income created by SCC, the effect of college operations equals 1,928 job equivalents, the effect of student spending equals 233 job equivalents, and the effect of student productivity equals 16,024 job equivalents. Overall, the added income created by SCC and its students supported 18,185 job equivalents. Dr. Jack Huck, SCC president, said the study validates the College's value to the 15-county service area, the state of Nebraska and the entire region. "The benefits SCC provides to the business community, students, society, and taxpayers are well-documented in the study," Huck said. "SCC is a solid investment for state and local taxpayers, increases the earning potential of students who earn an associate degree, and saves society millions of dollars as it relates to health, crime and unemployment." Huck said the data conveys a positive message that is sometimes a challenge to communicate. "We produce internal reports that provide us with valuable information, including how many of our graduates obtain jobs or continue their education," Huck said. "But this economic impact study really demonstrates the value of Southeast Community College." For the past 13 years EMSI has produced economic impact studies for community colleges, universities and workforce investment boards. EMSI turns labor market data into useful information that helps organizations understand the connection between economies, people and work.

I used maximum 3000mAh Extended batteries and when I saw this one for Tbolt...well, I have a question - anyone used it? So far I hear only positive about Mugen. Those who compare Mugen with stuff they buy from ebay for 10$ - please refrain from comments...There is no need to compare stuff you buy for 10$ with a 100$ product...

Yeah, this one is pretty huge. I used max 2000mah before, but I'm thinking about it because I travel a lot and this one could definitely help me. On 3g all the time and GPS... I think I'll order this one. I'll post when I do.

HID Fog vs HID long range ?'s
Hey everyone this is my first post here, and I just want to get some opinions.
Right now I have a pair of KC HID Daylighters (flood/fog beam) recessed into my grill, and I want to add some lights for longer range lighting, however I don't really want to spend the $$$ for another set of HIDs (got these for an absolute steal!) So should i buy some long range lenses for the Daylighters and get some fog beam halogens? Or should I keep the HIDs as fogs and get some long range halogens? P.s. for halogens i'm looking at something around $200 range. Thanks for your help guys! |
I followed a how-to guide here on TW and converted Hella 500FF's into HID and it was about $120 for two lights. Bought the Hella's from Amazon for $62 and HID bulbs+ballast for $60.
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lig...ow-w-pics.html there are fog and driving beams for Hellas so look for the right one :thumbsup: http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/d...IMG_024510.JPG |
do the Hellas!
i have 4 HIDed and they rock! |
Ok i guess my question simplified is are my daylighters better as floods or would they be better utilized as long range lights. Im starting to look into rigid light bars too they seem fairly affordable and put out a ton of light it seems like.
rigid and affordable are mutually exclusive terms :D
I have no real-world experience with daylighters...it sounds like you want to change the daylighters into pencil beam lights and then buy an extra set of fogs for flood light? why not keep daylighters as your flood light / fogs and then HID some Hellas for your long range? |
the 10" rigid is $280 on amazon, that ain't too bad i think. but you do have a point the hellas with a conversion kit it pretty cheap too and look great. I guess the whole reason i like the rigid is cause could mount it to the bumper just below my KCs, where if i went with the hella conversion i would have to mount them to the roof bars on my ARE top, then it might not fit in my garage.
here is my set up pre ARE top http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/d.../IMG_01263.JPG
ahhh ya I see what you're going for now. seems you know what you want already ;)
I don't know i'mim torn. Might have to wait till I build a bumper then just see how many lights it takes to fill in the gap between the headlights lol.
If I was rich I would just do a 40" Rigid led bar on the top and call it good! Brennan does having your lights behind the grill affect output or dispersion at all? |
not at all they're just too damn bright. I have the 55w bulb/ballast

Marsam Hotel Restaurant, Luxor
Concierge.com's insider take:
Also known as Sheik Ali's Hotel, this small, mud-brick guesthouse facing the Temple of Merenptah was originally built in 1924 for University of Chicago scientists and still serves as a digging-season residence for international archeological missions. A far cry from commercial tourist restaurants, the hotel's daily alfresco Egyptian lunch and European vegetarian dinner, served in a garden courtyard, is open to anyone and is a favorite with the various tribes of Luxor's winter colony of French fashion designers, antiquities inspectors, artists, European dowagers and other local characters. The lovely garden, lined with trees and bougainvillea, is a perfect place to take a break between the rigors of west bank sightseeing. At lunch, there's usually tomato and cucumber salad, fresh-baked Upper Egyptian sun bread, rice with herbs, and whatever fish, meat or poultry the chef has prepared as a main course.

LAKEVIEW, Ore. – Around 2 p.m. today, a wildfire broke out in the Moccasin Hills subdivision north of Sprague River, Oregon. Currently, the fire is reported to be around 75 acres burning on private land in heavy timber and brush and threatening structures.
The following interagency resources are presently assigned to this incident: 19 engines, one single engine air tankers (SEATs), two helicopters, three heavy air tankers and one air attack. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Four new wildfires were reported on Saturday, July 12, from a lightning storm that passed through south central Oregon on Friday, July 11. Firefighters contained these new starts to less than one acre.

Grain experts say a toxic mold residue that attacked the 2012 US corn crop may become even more problematic this summer and fall as farmers blend off tainted corn supplies from storage. This is a concern in the petfood industry as manufacturers work to avoid contamination in their final products and minimize petfood recalls due to aflatoxin.
"As we get into summer, you are going to see the worst of it," said Doug Bartlett, co-owner of advisory company Midwest Farm Services. "We have tight corn supplies and when we get down to the nitty gritty, there is going to be a lot of the aflatoxin left over, and it will have to be blended off into the new crop."
According to Charles Hurburgh, agricultural engineering professor at Iowa State University who specializes in grain quality, aflatoxin is currently a significant concern in the US from eastern Kansas across northern Missouri, up to central and southern Illinois. As temperatures rise in the spring, the mold responsible for causing aflatoxin can be spread inside grain storage bins, which could create a second round of problems after the initial outbreak when crops are harvested.
"We've already seen some flourishing of the molds that can produce aflatoxin," said Max Hawkins, a nutritionist with Alltech. "Because corn is in short supply, everybody wants to get every kernel, everything they can out of the bin. As the bin is emptied, those damaged kernels tend to concentrate in the bottom area....There is ample aflatoxin present in many, many storage facilities."
To be effective, probiotics must be live and viable
What is this quiet, unassuming ingredient, and should it be there?
The question is whether they provide additional benefit to the dog or cat
The intent was to educate regulators and industry about the Model Pet Food Regulations
The mid-year meeting addressed several regulatory matters affecting petfoods
Committees discussed key proposals such as a possible shift in the oversight of animal feeds
Smaller lobbying groups employed most often to fight for clients' interests
The new US food safety legislation will also affect regulation of petfood

Ohio Won't Withhold School Funding For Those Skipping Tests
Ohio's superintendent says the state won't withhold funding to penalize schools for students opting out of standardized tests this year.
Two of Ohio's four casinos bounced back from significant revenue decreases in April and posted gains last month, while the other two continued to see drops in profits.
Five people in the Cincinnati area have been indicted and are expected to be arrested after prosecutors say they cheated at Ohio's fourth and newest casino.
Ohio's first casino has boosted city and county coffers, but it's also increased construction and calls to the state's problem gambling line.
Thousands of die-hard gamblers and curious locals poured into a new casino in downtown Cincinnati after a grand opening featuring a fireworks display set to Frank Sinatra and Alicia Keys.
The money will be distributed on a per-pupil basis twice per year to more than 1,000 school districts and charter schools across Ohio.
Ohio authorities say 10 people have been charged with cheating at the new Columbus casino, including some defendants who continued even after they were warned to stop.
State casino regulators have released the first report on the Hollywood Columbus Casino that opened one month.
After court battles and a state referendum, the much-anticipated Hollywood Casino opens today on Columbus' West Side. The people who live and work in the area are betting on the house – to bring a new vibe to the neighborhood that has, for years, been on the decline.
The casino set to open Monday on Columbus' west side is testing its operations with an invitation-only "demonstration day" on Wednesday.
Nearly $20 million in casino tax revenue is being divvied up among Ohio's 88 counties. The state's eight largest cities will also get a chunk of that money.

This is a discussion on A baseball bat for home defense within the Home (And Away From Home) Defense Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Originally Posted by Landric We seem to be making a lot of assumptions here. Lets reverse the situation. You are a guy who carries all ...
Years ago, when I was healthy, before I ever even thought of owning a gun, I had a break in. I was asleep with my girl friend when we heard a crashing from the living room. I had her dial 911 and I ran out with my HD protection at the time a bat.
I ran out out to the living room with the bat, in my underware screaming. Let me add I'm a big boy. I scared the bleep out of two kids standing in my kitchen (don't know who was more scared). They ran, a few minutes later the cops showed up.
That was also 15 years ago in quiet neighborhood, way before home invasions were the norm.
If I tried to do the same thing now, I'd probably be dead. Glad now I have a 9 mm by the bed and a 12 gauge under it.
shhhhh, librarian packing
Actually a bat is ideal for home defense if the intruder is armed with baseballs.

The defense against a bat is to get close up, real close. Shoot them before they do.

During the Dark Days, when I lived in CA, I had an aluminum bat and a K-Bar next to the bed for SD; happily, I never had to try to protect us with them. After somebody got murdered around the corner, I got a Mossberg 500 and that was the end of my baseball career. Now that I'm home in Texas, I still have the bat and the knife -- in a box in the garage. In their place is a Springer 1911 ...

Baseball bat- The original home defense weapon: A descendent of the cavemans club.
Seriously though, my wife's cousin has a baseball bat for home defense. Although, he has expressed interest in buying a pistol when I took him to a gun show earlier this year. He said he wanted to buy a piece to go shooting with me more often. Like was mentioned earlier, baseball bat with a plan, is better than nothing at all.
Beretta PX4 Storm .45 / Springfield Armory XDM 9 / Springfield Armory 1911 Milspec / Smith Wesson 686 / Bushmaster XM-15 E2
DPMS A-15 Oracle / Remington 870 Express Magnum / Remington 597 .22
We might make light of it folks and sure it's not the ideal weapon for defense, but as that say goes "Any Port in a Storm" folks.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
Well, there are ports and there are ports. Choosing a bat as a "port" for an attack (ie, a violent home-invasion with guns) is that it's a very rocky cove barely recognizable as a port, at least when considering its lack of ability to reach out and touch someone.
If nothing else were in the house or affordable, I too would likely have one around. But the "fine print" would have to include caveats about its limited ability to effectively deal with what criminals very often bring to crimes of violence: firearms. Hard to get around that except with a plan, tactics and tools that can surmount an attack involving firearms.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.

I'd say the only upside of a bat is that it's easy to get and easy to "conceal" .... if I were to toss one in my truck tomorrow, the cops wouldn't ask me for a license to have it.
Nobody's ever raised an eyebrow about my multitude of tire tools *cough cough* but I wouldn't want to face a gunfight with a lug wrench, ya know?
Me thinks baseball bat toting homeowner has never really THOUGHT his plan through. Or perhaps he's just never had someone break in while his wife/daughter was home alone --- that'll change your gun opinions really quick!
Rather than a baseball bat, I would just quickly don my armor...
....then take a swing with the handy dandy Charvel!
See? Problem solved!

Pharmaceutical manufacturers regard common regulatory policies as key to facilitating access to foreign markets, to patients from other regions for clinical trials, and to lower cost suppliers and operational support, observed Peter Honig, vice-president global regulatory affairs at AstraZeneca. Honig noted the importance of standards in reducing the cost and time of drug development in a February workshop organized by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Forum on Drug Discovery, Development and Translation (1). In recent years, IOM has examined clinical trial operations and development of medical countermeasures, new treatments for tuberculosis, and drug-diagnostic combinations. This gathering of regulatory authorities and industry leaders from around the world sought to take a fresh look at international regulatory issues in the face of uncertainty about the future of the ICH standards-setting process, concerns about the growing cost of new drug development, and alarm over the increase in substandard medical products in all regions.
In addition to highlighting problems created by divergent clinical research and data requirements, participants emphasized the need for common technical standards to ensure drug quality, reduce redundant manufacturing plant inspections, and help regulators detect substandard products and ensure the integrity of increasingly long supply chains. Individual countries differ in how they implement ICH quality standards, adding specifications and content to the common dossier format for submitting chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) information, reported Diane Zezza, vice-president and global head for regulatory CMC at Novartis, in summarizing concerns related to manufacturing standards and processes. And postapproval changes are even more divergent in terms of data requirements and timing of filings, a situation that can inhibit continuous improvement efforts.
Changes in the country's political landscape may affect the pharmaceutical industry market in the future.
The author discusses the various ways in which a quality-by-design program can enhance the extractable and leachable assessment of a drug product.
The use of commercially available media to achieve high titer in early process development is discussed.
The fast growth of the global biopharmaceutical market has prompted global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to increase their R&D investment in biologics.
The draft guidance contains policies for drugs that are processed with additional manufacturing steps such as remixing, dilution, and repackaging.
The agency releases five draft guidance documents related to drug compounding and repackaging.
Market forces may limit the success of CMOs.
FDA announced that it would postpone a meeting that would be critical for the advancement of Celltrion's Remicade biosimilar in the US.
Drug shortages are declining, but they're still a serious concern for regulatory authorities, policy makers, and bio/pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The company voluntarily recalls product due to FDA observations of potential sterility problems.

Bratton's Brass Tacks

I mentioned LAPD chief Bill Bratton's successes at reducing crime in New York City in the 1990s and Los Angeles today. His success in New York are pretty well known -- in just 27 months on the job, he reduced the city's epic crime rates, which had been climbing for decades, by dramatic percentages. Felony crime was down 39 percent. Homicides had fallen 50 percent.
More importantly, Bratton engineered a full-scale shift within the NYPD about how police officers view their role. For years, they'd been seen as responders to crime -- the causes of crime were seen as completely out of their control. They thought of themselves, in Bratton's words, as report-takers.
But Bratton helped the cops come to understand their integral role in preventing crime as well. It's that fundamental paradigm shift that has allowed the crime reductions Bratton oversaw in the early 1990s to continue to this day.
But I was even more impressed by some of the stats Bratton shared from Los Angeles, where he's been police chief since 2002.
In the six year's since Bratton took office:
--homicide is down 44 percent
--rapes are down 35 percent
--robberies are down 23 percent
--overall violent crime is down 49 percent
--gang homicides are down 57 percent
--overall gang crime is down 25 percent
If that's not proof that Bratton's data-based approach to reducing crime is an effective tool, then I don't know what is.

PostgreSQL 9.4.1 Documentation | |||
Prev | Up | Chapter 48. System Catalogs | Next |
The catalog pg_attribute stores information about table columns. There will be exactly one pg_attribute row for every column in every table in the database. (There will also be attribute entries for indexes, and indeed all objects that have pg_class entries.)
The term attribute is equivalent to column and is used for historical reasons.
Table 48-7. pg_attribute Columns
Name | Type | References | Description |
attrelid | oid | pg_class.oid | The table this column belongs to |
attname | name | The column name | |
atttypid | oid | pg_type.oid | The data type of this column |
attstattarget | int4 | attstattarget controls the level of detail of statistics accumulated for this column by ANALYZE. A zero value indicates that no statistics should be collected. A negative value says to use the system default statistics target. The exact meaning of positive values is data type-dependent. For scalar data types, attstattarget is both the target number of "most common values" to collect, and the target number of histogram bins to create. | |
attlen | int2 | A copy of pg_type.typlen of this column's type | |
attnum | int2 | The number of the column. Ordinary columns are numbered from 1 up. System columns, such as oid, have (arbitrary) negative numbers. | |
attndims | int4 | Number of dimensions, if the column is an array type; otherwise 0. (Presently, the number of dimensions of an array is not enforced, so any nonzero value effectively means "it's an array".) | |
attcacheoff | int4 | Always -1 in storage, but when loaded into a row descriptor in memory this might be updated to cache the offset of the attribute within the row | |
atttypmod | int4 | atttypmod records type-specific data supplied at table creation time (for example, the maximum length of a varchar column). It is passed to type-specific input functions and length coercion functions. The value will generally be -1 for types that do not need atttypmod. | |
attbyval | bool | A copy of pg_type.typbyval of this column's type | |
attstorage | char | Normally a copy of pg_type.typstorage of this column's type. For TOAST-able data types, this can be altered after column creation to control storage policy. | |
attalign | char | A copy of pg_type.typalign of this column's type | |
attnotnull | bool | This represents a not-null constraint. It is possible to change this column to enable or disable the constraint. | |
atthasdef | bool | This column has a default value, in which case there will be a corresponding entry in the pg_attrdef catalog that actually defines the value. | |
attisdropped | bool | This column has been dropped and is no longer valid. A dropped column is still physically present in the table, but is ignored by the parser and so cannot be accessed via SQL. | |
attislocal | bool | This column is defined locally in the relation. Note that a column can be locally defined and inherited simultaneously. | |
attinhcount | int4 | The number of direct ancestors this column has. A column with a nonzero number of ancestors cannot be dropped nor renamed. | |
attcollation | oid | pg_collation.oid | The defined collation of the column, or zero if the column is not of a collatable data type. |
attacl | aclitem[] | Column-level access privileges, if any have been granted specifically on this column | |
attoptions | text[] | Attribute-level options, as "keyword=value" strings | |
attfdwoptions | text[] | Attribute-level foreign data wrapper options, as "keyword=value" strings |
In a dropped column's pg_attribute entry, atttypid is reset to zero, but attlen and the other fields copied from pg_type are still valid. This arrangement is needed to cope with the situation where the dropped column's data type was later dropped, and so there is no pg_type row anymore. attlen and the other fields can be used to interpret the contents of a row of the table.

This girl is way louder than Maria or Venus. I'm watching Ferrero on Court 3 and you can just hear this constant screaming the whole time. I switched over to Ivanovic v Petrova on Court 2 thinking it was coming from there but could still hear it the whole time. Someone on BBC Radio said they'd reported from Court 8 and it's from De Brito. You can hear this girl screaming on every shot from the matches on Court 2 and 3. She must be putting a lot of people off. Has anyone seen her play and does she always scream that loud? I seriously think she'll have to tone it down or face warnings because it's literally echoing throughout Wimbledon :o

EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark III Full Spec List?
« on: March 01, 2012, 08:50:27 AM »
hmmm.. I'm feeling meh.. about those specs and the how the camera looks.. just not that exciting. too much hype ruining the actual.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
The true genius of the D800 was the D800E. I would gladly take an 22Mpx 5dmkIII. But I want to be able to have no anti alias filter. It makes a world of difference for sharpness, and it wouldn't hurt the sort of photography that the 5D shooters usually do. In any case, you could always buy it with the AA filter.
On the other hand, when pixel peeping the D3s and the D4, I find the high iso setting have lots of noise reduction and correspondingly very little sharpness. It's clear that the 1Dx has better underlying noise characteristics. So I hope to get that quality in the 5DmkIII, I don't care how many pixels.
Price-wise, does it make sense? I just got a 5D Mark II in January, and it's the first time I've went full frame, my dad gave me his 40D to use for the last year or so. Other than a 50 1.4 and a 85 1.8, I want a lens that I can walk around with and not have to back up for group pictures, so I'm considering this one or 70-200 II.
I really didn't expect this to cost $2300 though when rumors started about it x-x
Any advice?
SRaw is fine for many purposes. I mean really, how many weddings or portrait shoots result in people wanting larger than a 20x30 print? Generally for non-art shoots, I go with sRaw on my 7D - and sometimes when i do shoot art i forget to switch back to full size RAW. I've done 20x30 prints from sRaw files, and they look pretty damn good!
why shoot sRaw? just shoot raw and downsize.. I never understood shooting at a quality less then your camera could provide..
Memory cards are cheap. so that shouldn't be an issue.. i purchased a 32gb CF card for $60
More time to download - True.. but get a fast CF reader
usually if your shooting raw your converting to a new file regardless. and erasing the original sounds like a sin
Images would take up more space on memory cards, resulting in more memory card changes during a shoot. Images would take more time to download, then time spent downsampling and converting to a new file and erasing the original. Time is money...
I wonder how much this new camera will eat into the profits of the 20,000 rig. We probably won't see it till around the same July time frame as the C primes.
For networking, it looks like a LAN port with the option of wireless (with on-board bluetooth) and GPS adapters.
I like the idea of colour-based focus tracking with iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition).

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Wow, what an AMAZING piece of literature! Just to make it easy, I'll list some of the things I loved most about this book. 1.) References to the Allegory of the Cave (a portion in Plato's Republic). I wrote quote a few papers on this specific topic, as well as the entire text, during my time at University. Plato's Republic is one of my favorite philosophical texts, and the way it fit into this story was just so brilliant. 2.) The philosophy of education and what it means to be "smart". How simply because your intelligence increases doesn't men that you're not leaving some things behind. For Charlie, it was emotional maturity. That disconnect made it hard for him to connect to others. 3.) More specifically, the philosophy of special education. Should there be a goal to "cure" people with mental disabilities. Is there anything wrong with them to begin with? Would they truly be "happier" being "cured"? Sorry for all the quotations, but I don't subscribe to the idea that there's something that needs to be "cured", as intelligence is to me some parts relative. Charlie himself was just an amazing character and representation of a person with mental disabilities who is at the mercy of an often cold and clinical society, even when society thinks it's doing the world, and the individuals they want to "cure", a huge favor. Simply put: Amazing Book. This is the type of book that I think should be considered as required reading for high school. Flowers for Algernon brings all sorts of questions forward about intelligence, friendship, morals, how to live and what's truly important in life. I would recommend this book to anyone. Excellent science fiction. Well thought out and has several meaningful concepts. One of the best books I have read. Flowers for Algernon was the fall play at my daughter's school. I bought the book for her (she's on the stage crew) and my whole family ended up reading it. It's a beautiful, thought-provoking, and terribly sad book. Charlie Gordon is a man with severe intellectual disabilities who undergoes an experimental surgery to improve his intelligence and memory. This surgery was very successful on a mouse named Algernon, against whom Charlie competes at solving mazes and other puzzles. Charlie experiences a meteoric improvement in his intelligence and learning, and disturbing flashbacks of memory. He faithfully records his observations and progress, and discovers that the old Charlie's life is incompatible with the new. When Algernon experiences a rapid deterioration, Charlie fears he may follow Algernon again on this regressive path. All four of us were absolutely riveted and devastated by this book. I first read this in the early 80s when I was 15 or so and it made memorable impact. I was worried that reading it again would be a let down but it turned out to be as good indeed better than I remember. There is so much here for readers of all ages, indeed this is a book about the arc of an entire lifetime lived in a few months, so fast and very brightly. It is particularly powerful for anyone who has had a major medical procedure that saves your life, to experience existence not as something you control, but the direct result of another person's skill and knowledge, flawed though that knowledge may be. Not unlike the "creature" created by Dr. Frankenstein. Keyes really nailed it, the emotions of joy, rebellion, love, anger. More than a "science fiction" novel, it's timeless and relevant literature.
[Keyes] has taken the obvious, treated it in a most obvious fashion, and succeeded in creating a tale that is suspenseful and touching - all in modest degree, but it is enough. Is contained inHas the adaptationIs an expanded version ofHas as a student's study guide
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (2)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0156030306, Paperback)Daniel Keyes wrote little SF but is highly regarded for one classic, Flowers for Algernon. As a 1959 novella it won a Hugo Award; the 1966 novel-length expansion won a Nebula. The Oscar-winning movie adaptation Charly (1968) also spawned a 1980 Broadway musical.Following his doctor's instructions, engaging simpleton Charlie Gordon tells his own story in semi-literate "progris riports." He dimly wants to better himself, but with an IQ of 68 can't even beat the laboratory mouse Algernon at maze-solving: I dint feel bad because I watched Algernon and I lernd how to finish the amaze even if it takes me along time. Algernon is extra-clever thanks to an experimental brain operation so far tried only on animals. Charlie eagerly volunteers as the first human subject. After frustrating delays and agonies of concentration, the effects begin to show and the reports steadily improve: "Punctuation, is? fun!" But getting smarter brings cruel shocks, as Charlie realizes that his merry "friends" at the bakery where he sweeps the floor have all along been laughing at him, never with him. The IQ rise continues, taking him steadily past the human average to genius level and beyond, until he's as intellectually alone as the old, foolish Charlie ever was--and now painfully aware of it. Then, ominously, the smart mouse Algernon begins to deteriorate... Flowers for Algernon is a timeless tear-jerker with a terrific emotional impact. --David Langford (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:00:40 -0400) From the Publisher: With more than five million copies sold, Flowers for Algernon is the beloved, classic story of a mentally disabled man whose experimental quest for intelligence mirrors that of Algernon, an extraordinary lab mouse. In poignant diary entries, Charlie tells how a brain operation increases his IQ and changes his life.
