5 Enter Starbug...Hyde2612 | 20/05/2007 | See all Hyde2612's reviews (195)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Series 6, and the second of my favourite episodes of all time - 'Gunmen of the Apocalypse' (with added fan commentary) Sending the crew into a Western-themed construct of Kryten's consciousness results in a wonderfully directed and scripted half hour of comic brilliance and allows all the cast to play out all their childhood cowbot fantasies. And on this typically fun-packed DVD there lies a fascinating little featurette focusing on the town where the episode was filmed (the only Western town in the UK) when Robert Llewelyn visits ten years on from the shows filming. Other highlights of this sixth season (sadly the peak before the fall) was the hilarious 'Legion' and the brilliant final episode 'Out of Time' Ending on a quite fantastic cliffhanger fans were left positively salivating at the prospect of a seventh series. Sadly, the final two series never lived up to the unalloyed brilliance of the previous six but it certainly was far from the end...

4 reflective glow but mighty fine extras stuffed releaseHumanLeaguefan | 01/05/2008 | See all HumanLeaguefan's reviews (218)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer I've got rather mixed feelings about this sixth run of Red Dwarf. On the one hand you've got classics like the award winning "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" and the excellent sequel story "Emohawk - Polymorph II" and on the other I personally was less than satisfied with the conclusion to season finale "Out of Time". As before the first disc offers up a hidden Easter egg extra to be found in the 'select episode' option. By selecting this and then choosing "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" you'll find a sheriff's badge to the right of the second chapter. Pressing enter on this icon will launch the 6 min 'talking heads' feature on this particular story. The bonus features disc (which I initially found a little difficult to navigate around) follows the usual format spearheaded by an original 'making of' documentary which this time around is entitled "The Starbuggers" and weighs in at 74 mins. Another gargantum load of deleted scenes (approx 43 mins) sits alongside a 2 ½ min themed featurette ("Sick"), approx 18 mins of 'Smeg Ups' and 141 images in the self selection Photo Gallery on the standard extras usually common to these releases. For items unique to this particular title you've got two mute footage extras (raw effects - 13 ¾ mins and 8mm black&white Model Maker Footage approx - 6 mins), a worthy and interesting 29 mins with incidental music composer Howard Goodall in 'Setting the Score'. The celebrations continue for the "Gunmen..." story with Robert Llewellyn taking a sentimental journey back to the location in a 10 min "Return to Laredo" feature plus director Andy de Emmony offers 4 mins of his thoughts on the production. Also let's not forget the worthy inclusion of a 6 min 'behind the scenes' look at the making of season opener "Psirens". Together with the worthy standard 12 page 'collector's booklet' the high level of quality we've come to expect from 2 disc Red Dwarf releases is ably maintained and is a fine addition to the range.

If your going to only get one series this would probably the best one to have, but don't leave it at that get some of the earlier episodes as well. You have some of the best episode's in the Red Dwarf series. The extras a very good as well. This laugh a minute comedy, is a must for any one who likes a laugh.

Betty White the only good part of the movie 'The Proposal'
Romantic comedy is a rehash of old jokes and the predictable can't-stand-each-other-but-fall-in-love progression.
Kerry Hayes/Touchstone Pictures/AP
Every once in a while – too often these days – a movie from a major studio comes out that makes you wish there was a federally funded quality control review board in Hollywood. The monumentally unfunny "Land of the Lost" was bad enough. Now there's the monumentally unromantic "The Proposal," a dud of a different sort. Instead of being about dinosaurs and time warps, it's about gags that were old when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Sandra Bullock plays Margaret Tate, a martinet New York book editor whose underlings quake in fear of her. (I'm beginning to regret "The Devil Wears Prada" ever got made.) Ryan Reynolds is Andrew Paxton, her all-purpose and much-abused assistant who puts up with her because he wants to be an editor himself. (Like I said, I'm regretting the existence of "The Devil Wears Prada.") By a twist of fate, and bad screenwriting, Margaret, a Canadian citizen, must marry Andrew in order to remain in America. He agrees to the arrangement because he thinks it will get him an editor's job.

Artificial Intelligence
"maddog" ponders the rise of intelligent machines.
Recently, I read that Stephen Hawking, the world-famous physicist, had warned people that artificial intelligence (AI) could be very useful or could be the worst thing that ever happened to mankind. The article, which included Hawking's comments, went on to discuss the many things AI could do for us – from analyzing and extracting information from the Internet, to making quick judgments in deploying and firing military weapons, to taking over the world.
In the comments section of the article were people who either agreed with Stephen Hawking or (much more often) brushed off his comments by saying "who would create such a thing" or "only a supreme being could create something which is truly intelligent."
Those of you who have been reading my work for a while know that I am a great fan of Dr. Alan Turing, and those who know of Dr. Turing's work also know that his interest in computers stemmed largely from the desire to know how the human mind worked and the desire to create a machine that could think like a human. Dr. Turing's "test" for what constitutes artificial intelligence is still used today, 60 years after his death.
Dr. Turing also believed that if a complex problem could be solved by a digital computer, then the simplest digital computer meeting certain criteria could solve the problems that the most complex digital computer could solve, given enough time and memory. This concept was embodied in his Turing Machine.
The human mind is made up of 33-86 billion neurons and trillions of synaptic connections, with each synapse being only 20-40 nanometers wide. Each neuron may have hundreds to thousands of synapses allowing communication (both chemical and electrical) between the neurons.
Exactly how the human mind stores and fetches data, makes decisions, and controls the rest of the body still eludes us, but each day brings new discoveries that bring us closer to understanding how humans think.
For those who believe that a machine capable of AI will never be created, I would remind them that people once believed that man would never fly, that the world was flat, and that we would never be able to talk to machines in anything other than the ones and zeros of machine language.
I am also a great fan of science fiction, which blossomed during my early youth when authors like Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick (among many others) wrote about robots and "giant brains" that could (at first) only mimic human thought. The machines were sometimes purposefully limited by their makers who created "laws" for them to follow. Isaac Asimov's book I, Robot detailed four laws intended to control the robots and created stories that showed what happened when the laws were relaxed.
Often, these AI devices were connected to some type of unlimited power supply that could "never" be turned off (to keep enemies from turning off the power on the device), or the AI device itself built a power supply that could not be turned off. When that power supply was finished was typically the time that the AI device "went crazy" and tried to take over the world. This is why I often told my students that the person who created a computer that could not be unplugged was truly stupid.
Nevertheless, society marches forward with ideas like artificial intelligence and the "Internet of Things" without having the safeguards in place in case these things "go wrong." We need to have the policies in place as the technology moves forward, but often policy lags dramatically.
Even if AI creations do not want to take over the world, what does it mean when we turn off the power of an artificially created intelligence? Is it murder? Do the same rules of "computer ownership" apply when hundreds of thousands of computers are literally dropped in our backyard as part of the sensor network of "Internet of Things"? Should we be able to demand to see the source code for those things, to make sure they are not transmitting data other than what we have been told?
I am often told by users of GNU/Linux that they are not "technical" and therefore cannot contribute to the Free and Open Source Software cause. But, here is an area where philosophy and the humanities can contribute – to help technical people through the knothole of whether an organism that is not human flesh is "human," whether a being that is made of silicon flip-flops and wires can have the same rights as one made up of neurons and synapses, and where those rights end if they start to infringe on the rights of "real" humans.
Carpe Diem.

"I like to bring up that deal whenever I can," he joked, drawing teases from Myers and Malhotra. But the insight into the Rockets' decision to open the war chests was illuminating.
"We basically told [Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander], 'We should just give [Oklahoma City] everything. Like, literally, every possible thing that isn't bolted down at the Rockets should be traded,'" Morey said.
Myers was less overt about campaigning for Curry but did point out the Warriors' 4-0 record against the Rockets this season.

Hey all- I've been reloading for about 3 years now and I've strictly been a Lee guy. I have a Lee classic turret press that I have been (mostly) happy with. I does what I want with minimal problems, although it took me awhile to get used to it's little quirks, but that was admittedly just me my learning curve. I'm thinking about switching to an RCBS Pro 2000 (or better) because I'm not getting the production volume I would like to make reloading worth my time. So anyhow, my question is this: Do Lee dies work in RCBS equipment, or will I be purchasing new EVERYTHING?

I don't reload yet but I will b starting soon and have read a lot. My understanding is horniday dies are the only oddballs out there so you should be fine to use your lee dies in a RCBS or any other press
Yes they will work just fine in the RCBS press. Same threads and all.
If you are going to step up to a progressive loader, don't play with anything but DILLON! And yes, the Lee dies will work in the Dillon too.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
the thing i hate the most about the lee dies are the el-cheapo lockrings. i typically just toss em and use dillon rings. i would suggest looking at a dillon xl650.

Just watched the Dillon videos. Impressive. I might have to re-think my potential purchase, thanks guys.
My only problem with Dillon is it seems like a pain, and expensive, to switch calibers.
Always have clean socks.
Don't forget to compare the Hornady LNL AP. The Dillon has been the standard for progressives, but the reviews on the Hornady have been very good. Good luck.

I have used a Dillon RL 450 since 1984. I have broken a couple of things over the years and Dillon has ALWAYS happily replaced at NO COST to me. I venture to say I have loaded close to a 1/4 MILLION rounds on mine. I use dies from Dillon, Lee, RCBS and Lyman w/o any issues. You can save some money on the caliber conversions if you use "off label" parts. I use the .223 shell plate and 9mm Luger powder funnell for .380. The 7.62 X 39 or .38 Spl shell plate works for .40 S&W/10mm. The .308 powder funnel works with pretty much any .30 caliber rifle (including 7.62 X39). I use the .45 ACP seater die on .40/10mm and the included seat/crimp die to taper crimp both .40 and 10mm. And of course the .45 shell plate also works for all .308/.30-06 family of rifle cartridges. I have 7 cartridge conversions and load 13 different calibers using them

Title: | Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer arrays for blood flow ultrasound Doppler and photoacoustic |

Degree Level: | Doctoral |
Abstract: | The Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Technology (CMUT) has emerged as a promising alternative to piezoelectric transducers in the medical ultrasound market since 1990s. Compared to piezoelectric technology, the MEMS based CMUT has advantages such as ease of fabrication, miniaturization and the potential to integrate with front-end electronic circuits. In addition, CMUT also promises low acoustic impedance and high immersion bandwidth. This thesis work has designed and fabricated a bossed membrane CMUT. This newly designed CMUT is characterized and compared with the planar membrane CMUT showing broader bandwidth and higher electromechanical coefficient. Using this bossed CMUT array, an implantable ultrasound Doppler blood flow meter is developed to overcome the dilemma between the detection depth and the measurement resolution. Due to its miniature size, this tool can be implanted close to target vessels deep inside the tissue without introducing significant disruption to the tissue while still delivering a high resolution. The system has integrated the blood flow velocity and beam to flow angle measurement to achieve a higher resolution. This paper also describes the design and preliminary experimental results of a novel photoacoustic imaging system which cascades a light source behind an infrared-transparent ultrasonic transducer array and illuminates the image target through the transducer chip. Preliminary imaging in the metal phantom using this cascaded photoacoustic imager is obtained. These results indicate that photoacoustic imaging using CMUT technology has a great potential as a diagnostic modality for breast cancer screening. |

Around 1,500 medical shops in the district will remain closed on May 10 in response to the nationwide bandh call given by All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) to protest against the 'unjust' policies of the government which were detrimental to the interest of drug dealers.
Announcing this at a media conference here on Wednesday, secretary of the Visakhapatnam District Drug Trade Association V. Sitaramaiah said that apart from closure of drug stores, rallies and protests would be organised on that day. He appealed to the public to purchase their emergency drug requirements before the strike. He, however, said that drug stores in government and private hospitals and at some junctions would be kept open on the strike day to avoid inconvenience to the public.
The main demands of the drug dealers include: not to reduce the trade margins on medicines in the forthcoming Drugs (Price Control) Order 2013, to resolve the long pending issue of shortage of pharmacists and suitably amend Rule 65 (15) (c) of Drugs and Cosmetic Rules to permit the partners/proprietor as a qualified person to dispense the medicines, to give relief under Section 19 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 to the dealer to has acted in true faith, if he submits valid documents of transactions and administration without prosecuting him till his guilt was proved and not allowing Foreign Direct Investments in distribution and retailing of medicines as there were over 25 lakh employees were dependent on drug distribution for a livelihood.
Association treasurer K.CH. Butchi Raju and president M.V. Naidu were present.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In the run-up to President Obama's State of the Union address next Tuesday, Republicans are turning up the volume on their pledges to cut spending.
On Thursday, the House Republican Study Committee -- which includes some of the party's most conservative members -- introduced a bill that the committee said would reduce spending by $2.5 trillion over a decade.
The bill takes the money primarily from non-defense discretionary spending, which constitutes 19% of the budget. It would keep spending at 2006 levels, starting next year, and proposes $330 billion in cuts to more than 100 programs over ten years.
It sounds more straightforward than it would be in reality. For instance, a summary of the proposal does not make clear what would be cut to establish 2006 levels. Would the cuts be across the board or more targeted?
And more broadly, it's not clear whether the bill would make a significant dent in the national debt. By excluding defense and entitlement spending from cuts, the bill fails to address the biggest pieces of the federal budget.
RSC Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio characterized the bill as a "good first step" toward a more fiscally sustainable path. But he also said that "everything needs to be on the table" in discussions about how to curb U.S. debt, including potential cuts to defense -- a position conservatives typically reject.
Among the biggest items the legislation would eliminate and the annual savings from each:
Funding for a host of smaller programs would also be cut, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting ($445 million a year); as well as both the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities (a combined $335 million).
Among the spending reductions called for: the federal travel budget would be cut in half ($7.5 billion a year) as would the funding for congressional printing and binding ($47 million a year).
It is not clear how much broad Republican support the Spending Reduction Act will attract. Nor is it clear if the Republican leadership will champion any of the bill's proposals.
Republicans are vowing to use the looming need to raise the country's debt limit to extract spending cuts in negotiations with Democrats.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said "we appreciate every member's input" in the Republicans' quest to reduce spending to "pre-bailout, pre-stimulus levels."
The bill comes on the heels of smaller bill introduced last week by Rep. Kevin Brady, a Republican from Texas. That legislation would cut $153 billion from the federal budget over five years and includes many spending reductions proposed by President Obama's bipartisan debt commission.
Meanwhile, next Tuesday, the House will vote on a resolution that reinforces the budget committee chairman's power under newly passed House rules. Those rules let Budget Chairman Paul Ryan pick a top-line spending number for the federal budget that would apply to the second-half of fiscal year 2011.
Currently there is no new 2011 federal budget in place, but there is a temporary spending measure that extends 2010 levels for government agencies until March 4 -- midway through the fiscal year.

I carry this rifle for work. So I loaded the mag for five weeks with fifty rounds. Upon unloading the mag five weeks later, approx ten rounds just fell out. Apparently the spring lost it's tension. For that much money could of got five. mag-pul mags. Waist of money.

Bought one, tried it, no problem, bought the second from another company for $40 less, worked as the first. Have both loaded for 3 months and will try them at 6 months. Like the balance. If there are no problems will buy 2 more, so each AR has three. They fit in my mag pouches. It would be nice if I could see what the remaining count was while in use.

McLeod missing for Dons showdown
The striker misses out against the club where he made his name as he serves a three-game ban for an incident against Northwich Victoria last weekend. The Addicks, beaten by Carlisle in their last League One outing, were dumped out of the FA Cup by the non-League Vics and crashed out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Southampton on Wednesday. Skipper Nicky Bailey, midfielder Therry Racon and striker Deon Burton should all return after being rested in midweek. Right-back Frazer Richardson faces a late check on his thigh injury but centre-half Sam Sodje will play after declining the offer to link up with Nigeria.

(WARNING: general horror)
Sometimes the things that scare us most aren't works of fiction. More often than you would think they are the things that we have lived through. I'll share with you, whether you choose to believe me or not, one of those tales.
It was summer the first time it had happened. I was home alone that night. I was watching a favored show when the noise started. It was so soft and subtle at first that I hadn't really noticed it. It wasn't until the commercial break that I heard that soft tapping more fully.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
I still remember the way it sounded. It seemed to echo off the walls in that dark room before finding me again. I naturally thought I had just scared myself into hearing it. After all it was a scary program I had been watching. I still felt terribly uneasy but I shoved the feeling aside when the show had started again.
I didn't notice the noise again for the rest of the airing. By the end of the program I was content again and comfortable. I could feel sleep starting to seep into me. It was late. I could tell just by the inky blackness that was cradling me. I gave the TV one last smile before shutting it off.
My bed was impossibly comfortable that night. It was perfectly warm as the blanket gave the weight of safety. I could feel my body growing more and more relaxed as I settled in more. My eyes felt heavy as they adjusted to the darkness around me. I closed them slowly and let myself start to drift off into sleep.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
I remember for a brief moment not really understanding what I had just heard. It was such a soft familiar noise. Slowly though it dawned upon my foggy brain that the noise was the same as it had been before.
My eyes snapped open more out of surprised fear than anything else. I felt my heart leap into my chest and for a long moment that was all I could hear. Each loud fearful drum of it rang in my ears. My body stiffened reflexively as my eyes scanned the room. It was a half moon out but it didn't leave much light to help me see. Instead it worked to cast odd shadows across the room. The small trinkets on my dresser made impossibly large foes as I watched the darkness. It felt so heavy now. That once comfortable weight that had kept me before was now gone.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
This time I knew it couldn't have been my imagination. No. This time I could more clearly hear it in the wall above my head. My eyes shot up to gaze at the blank space. I felt sick as I tried to calm myself. Each nerve so frayed from the fear that I couldn't even manage to move more than I had.
What in the hell was that noise? It had sounded again, like someone softly knocking on the wall. If I had lived in an apartment at the time it would have been nothing but...this was the second story of the house. I sat in silent fear as my eyes passed over the room one more time. Nothing was there.
A cold damp sweat had started to form over my pale skin as I listened closer.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
This time it sounded closer to me. I could feel a dull ache in my body from keeping my muscles tensed for so long. I couldn't move though. It had sounded like it was inside the wall further down now. Unfortunately enough for me that soft sound was followed by another. I could hear something move. The noise was similar to the sound of someone shuffling along the floor. However it didn't come from the room but instead inside the wall.
I know what you're thinking. I thought the same thing too. It had to be something like the pipes right? I had thought so too. The relief that washed over me as that thought held me was comforting. I had just been scaring myself. I had smiled to myself as I closed my eyes again. The fear had finally ebbed some.
I could feel that perfect comfort starting to pull me back into sleep. The sheets were so soft on my skin and the room was perfectly cool. My mind was starting to fall away into the all too familiar darkness of sleep. Even the cool hand on my cheek was so very nice.

If you've got the time, and weapons manipulations on the Glock and you're comfortable with it, why switch without some compelling need? I'm an M&P guy myself but Gen3 Glocks are about as good a gun as you can reasonably expect.
Likewise Sigs, especially those made in the US, just aren't what they used to be. The 250 especially has had a lot of problems which is why you can get them for a song. There is no comparison between the 250 and a Glock. Just google "Sig 250 problems" and see the myriad issues that come up.
If you're really liking the Sig, I'd recommend a used German 226 or I've heard very good things about the SP2022 if you want a poly.

Let me start out by saying that this isn't the first handgun I've ever used. I was qualified on multiple weapons in the AF and have been shooting my brothers service Glock since 96'. Anyway, I've just recently got into guns as a civilian. (I got pretty sick of my M-16 in the AF) About a month ago I decided I wanted a handgun to go along with my Marlin 60. It was at first between a Glock 19 and an XD. Then one day at my local Impact Guns I noticed the SR9 under the glass. I asked to hold it and was instantly blown away by how slim it is and how well it just fit my hand. So after reading and watching a bunch of reviews, I was sold. So far I've put a little over 200 rounds through it and removed the mag safety. Now that it is somewhat worn in and with the mag safety removed the trigger is a dream. Easily comparable to any handgun I've used in the past. It's proven to be reliable with zero malfunctions in my hands. It has however failed to cycle when my wife was shooting it. I assume this is a limp wrist problem. I fully intend on using it as my CCW once I find my DD-214. I already wear it around the house and being that it's ultra slim I barely notice it's there. Printing isn't bad either even with my love handles. Well, that's enough rambling for now, on to the pics! Feel free to ask any questions!

First off, greeting from a fellow USAF nut. You picked an excellent first handgun. The Ruger SR9 pistols are very well made, and will perform when you need it to. I think Ruger is a kind of best-kept secret in the gun world sometimes. I own a P-series Ruger (P95) and I have yet to have any issues with it. I have currently 700 rounds fired through it with zero malfunctions (no lie - if it jammed, I would say so.)
Once you decide to add to your Ruger collection, give the P series a good hard look. Here's my P95:
Congrats on your purchase, you picked a good one. I have one too and it is my favorite pistol.
We know you'll never NEED another handgun, but who was talking about need? :-) Anyway thanks for the pics and comments on the SR9. It is a gun that I've been giving some serious thought to. Not because I need another gun, but, you know, there are so many nice guns around!

Why Use Vibro Plate Exercises?
If you have arrived here looking to wobble without exercises, that's fine, as using vibro plates will still help you. However, vibro plate exercises will enhance all your efforts whatever your age and whether you want to wobble for health, general fitness or for sports reasons. But which exercises will get you the most benefit from your vibro plates?
The exercises you choose will depend on why you are doing them and your age and capabilities. For example, there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that at least for the experimental subjects in research trials, that the use of vibro plate exercises can improve bone mineral density in older women and help prevent falls. If you are a post menopausal women with early osteoporosis the exercises may be aimed more at improving lumbar bone density and balance but you should always check with your doctor if you think or know you have osteoporosis (see below). The use of vibro plates in sport is quite well known and will increase muscle density and tone when using conventional or explosive strength training. If you want to lose weight, vibro plate exercises can help you use up to 170 calories every 5 minutes.
Vibro plate exercises for sports enthusiasts enhance and supplement motion and stability quickly, making it ideal for warming up. The benefits are based on the stimulation of the fast-twitch muscle fibers that improve explosive strength, muscle endurance, agility and motor learning. Trainers will recommend specific training for an individual depending on their specific needs and sport. General fitness exercises may include squats and bench presses on the vibro plates.
If you are a beginner, make sure you read the manufacturers guidelines first. Also, consider that using the vibro plates gives you a much more intense than regular exercising. Aim for 10 to 20 minutes a day or whatever you can manage. DO NOT overdose, as you can weaken your muscles and undo some of the benefits. The actual amount of time on the plates will vary depending on the power of the machine, which is why you need to refer to the manufacturers guidelines as your muscles need time to recover. It may in fact be safe to use the plates for up to an hour in total per day.
Suggested exercises for beginners to tone your body include squats and stretching. For sports and body building, try the ab bridge, push-ups/planks, bicep curls and hamstring holds. Details of how to do these can be found elsewhere on this site. You can get an excellent wall chart known as the Beginners Vibration Plate Exercise Programme (shown right) that is certainly worth looking at. For the more advanced there is also the, Advanced Vibration Plate Exercise Programme. Should you be really keen(!), you can get both the Basic and Advanced Combined Vibration Plate Exercise Programmes for a bit less (although personally, I think the postage is a little heavy on these charts).
OK, so the reason many of you will be here is for weight loss reasons as well as toning up. First, this is no miracle machine; you will need to alter your eating habits as well. Reports that using vibro plates will make you lose weight are greatly inflated – yes, they will certainly help to speed things up by improving muscle tone, but on their own, IMHO, forget it! If you like the gym, still go, the more avenues you can explore the better. If you feel you would benefit from a personal trainer, find one. In fact, if you happen to live in the Frisco area, finding a Frisco personal trainer with some decent testimonials should be no problem.
Evidence from research found that an overweight group dieting and using vibro plates when followed over time, lost more weight than a group exercising using other means. However, the groups in this study were probably too small with only 15 in each group. Larger numbers would normally be required or the study replicated. However, there are probably enough studies with enough positive results for there to be some truth in the claim that vibro plates will help you lose weight and keep it off.
It is important that you speak with your doctor before using vibro plates if any of the following relate to you, as their use may aggrevate the condition. If your condition is not on the list you would also be wise to check.
You are pregnant
Have Acute/Deep vein thrombosis
Any serious cardiovascular disease
Have a pacemaker
You suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome
Have an acute hernia
Acute disc related problems
A particularly severe diabetic neuropathy
Tumors including metasatic
Any recent surgery or fresh wounds
You have gallstones, kidney or bladder stones
Acute rheumatoid arthritis
Any acute inflammations, infections or fevers
Severe migraine
Surgical metal implants
Severe osteoporosis with a BMD of less than 70mg/ml

As someone who loves their Under Armour Cold Gear I was very surprised how good this shirt is. I was about to go out of town and I did not have time to order from UA. So I went to Dick's to see what the had. No suprise to me all the UA cold gear was gone (all spring stuff) so I walked down to Nike to see what they had. Saw the shirt and decided to give it a try. LOVE IT! I've played 3 rounds of golf with it and does everything I need it to. Keeps me warm in the morning and it not too hot when the sun gets high and the compression keep my muscles in check.

How to Train a Dog
Nine Methods:DoorwaysMealsTakeListenComeSitLie DownStandSpeak
Are you thinking about getting a dog? You should know what you need to do to train your dog, here are some tips.
1Choose a dog that fits in with your lifestyle. Many people choose dogs that are "cute" or "funny", or get them on a whim. That is not a good way to choose a dog.
- Getting a dog is a big commitment, you will be living with your dog for up to 15 years. Make sure the breed's temperament is suitable for your lifestyle.
- While researching, be honest with yourself about the compatibility of the dog with your lifestyle. Don't get a dog that needs a lot of activity just because you need a reason to take a walk and lose some weight. You and the dog will end up frustrated.
- Write down the needs and temperament of the breed as well as how you will meet those needs. If it's going to take some effort to change your lifestyle, you need to choose a different dog.
Ad -
2Devote 15-20 minutes a couple of times a day to training. Puppies have a short attention span and get bored easily, just like a toddler would.
- Make sure training is fun and keep enthusiastic and upbeat when training. Remember, training is not about dominating our pets, it's about communicating with them.
3Give your dog a name that is practical. Keep it at one or two syllables so your dog can learn his name easily.
- If your dog will be registered, normal naming conventions dictate that he has a longer name. Typically you would use kennel name + dogs name. For example, if the name of your breeders kennel is "Cute and Fluffy" and you want to name your dog after your grandpa Joe, his full registered name would be "Cute and Fluffy's Grandpa Joe" and you would call him "Joe"
- Use your dog's name often when you are playing, petting, training him or need to get his attention. When you are training it is important that you use your dogs name and keep his attention. When your dog starts looking at you every time you say his name, he has learned his name.
4Make sure the entire family knows the dog's training goals. If you are training your dog not to jump on people but the kids let the dog jump all over them, this will undermine training.
- There is a difference between a dog jumping on your kids when they walk into a room and when the dog jumps on the kids while playing. It's okay for play sessions, but it is not okay when the dog initiates it. Make
- Keep training consistent. Make sure everyone uses the same commands that the dog is learning in training. If you want him to sit when you say "sit" make sure every uses that command, they shouldn't say "sit down"
5Do crate training. This can be helpful when he's sleeping or when you're leaving him alone. Dogs are den animals, so this is not cruel.
- When your dog is a puppy, use a small crate so he does not relieve himself in it (animals generally will not relieve themselves where they sleep or eat.)
- If your puppy cries when he's alone in the crate, bring the crate into your bedroom at night.
- Teach your dog that his crate is his den, not a cage. When you're not putting him in his crate leave the door open so he can come and go as he pleases. Keep a toy in there at all times.
6Go for walks and teach him how to walk on a lead/leash. This is especially important if you do not have an enclosed yard. Teach him to heel. If he starts pulling on the leash, stop and say "heel" and don't take another step until the dogs comes to your side.
7Teach your dog to come. This is the most important command to teach your dog as it could save his dog's life. Do not rely on simply calling the dog's name to get him to come. Teach the command "come".
8Keep in mind that all dogs have different temperaments. Just like kids, different breeds learn differently and at different rates. Some dogs are stubborn and will challenge you at every turn. Others will bend over backwards to please you. You may need to adjust your training techniques to meet the need of your dogs temperament.
9Always reward success and good behavior with praise, and sometimes a small treat. Small treats help motivate your dog to learn his training. The treat needs to be small so it doesn't interrupt the training session. As your dog learns his command, start giving a treat sometimes but not always. But always give him praise.
10Always end training on a positive note. Even if the training session didn't go well and your dog didn't catch on, you need to end it by giving a command that he does know.
- If your dog already knows "sit" but you're trying teaching "come" you should end the session by giving the "sit" command and them enthusiastically praise your dog and give him a little treat. Your dog will look forward to the training sessions if you always end positively, regardless of the success of that lesson.
11If your dog barks at you when you don't want him to, just ignore him until he stops, and then reward him with praise.
12If a dog jumps on you and does not stop after you say "Stop", turn and say "No" in a firm tone. Remember: do not yell at a dog. He will not understand. Never hit your dog, he will not understand why you hit him, he'll just become afraid of you.
Method 1 of 9: Doorways
1Apply this method whenever you go through a doorway with your dog. It doesn't need to happen when you're around and about in the house, but in very early puppy days or whenever, if your dog is following around you, you can make the most of the opportunity, and apply this technique if you wish.
2Walk to the door.
3Before stepping through, turn and face your dog.
4When they try to get past, block them with your legs and a dominating stance (standing up tall and straight, calm but confident).
5Ask your dog to LISTEN. When they do, give another command (such as sit or lie down) (see Listen, if you are unsure on this step).
6Gesture to them, to come through the threshold.
Method 2 of 9: Meals
1Always eat before your dog.
2Make sure that they are aware you're doing this, if they are in another room a lot, and don't see you eating. You can try putting them in the room you're eating in as well.
3When finish eating make up their food.
4If your dog is a very young puppy and has been taught no commands, just make sure that you give the food directly to them, and never leave it for them to find. As you give it to them, say TAKE IT (this command is an important part to many other exercises). When they finish, remove the bowl that the food is in, and put it somewhere they can't see or get to
Method 3 of 9: Take
1Use it whenever you give your dog some food or a treat or a toy to play with.
2If your dog is waiting for a treat or toy, this might be in a scenario you are using to teach your dog (such as throwing a treat, and making your dog wait patiently, before it is allowed to have it). TAKE IT should be used when you are happy that they can go and get it. It should also be used whenever you reward a dog for a command.
Method 4 of 9: Listen
1The "Listen" command is a very important command. It's one of the first commands you should teach your dog. Use it to get your dog's attention, so you can give them the next command.
2Find a time when your dog is not under any commands (i.e. freely walking around, lying down or sniffing something.)
3Get a handful of treats.
4Stand near your dog. (If you can do this without distracting them, the technique will work even better. If not, don't worry, but don't engage with them; just stand looking a different direction, and they should lose interest.)
5Say "Listen" in a firm voice (Do this as if you were calling a person's name, because you want to say something to them).
- As soon as your dog responds, most likely they will look toward you and stop what they're doing. Give them a treat (remember the 'take it ' rule).
- Do not continue rewarding with treats when they have learned to listen, as they will soon realise that the treats come with the command or activity that follows the "listen".
Method 5 of 9: Come
1Use this command, whenever you want your dog to come to you.
2Find a way to attract you dog's attention, to make them run toward you. This can be a noise, a toy, an excited clap or simply opening your arms. Starting to run and then stopping can also work, as dogs will naturally start to chase.
3When your dog starts to move towards you, give the command COME and repeat it until they reach you.
4When they reach you, reward with either a treat or toy and a "Good dog".
5Give a release command, and walk away.
Method 6 of 9: Sit
1Get your dog into the sit position. After you are confident your dog knows what "Sit" is, incorporate it into every day life.
2Get some food treats or a toy.
3Call your dog to you.
4When they get to you, tell them to LISTEN, and hold the toy or treat in view.
5Move the object the dog is focusing on (treat or toy), from in front of their nose to above the dogs head. They should naturally sit. If not, try patting or gently pressing the rear of their back.
6When you dog starts to sit, say "Sit", and repeat any number of times.
7Reward your dog with the treat, or give them the toy to play with.
8Give the release command, and walk away.
Method 7 of 9: Lie Down
1Get your dog to go and stay in the lying down position. After you are confident your dog knows what the command lie down is, incorporate it into the general exercises.
2Get some food treats or a toy.
3Call you dog to you.
4When they get to you, tell them to LISTEN, and hold the toy or treat in view.
5Use the treat or toy, to make your dog lie down. This can be achieved by moving the toy or treat onto the ground in front of the dog. Their head should follow it, and their body should follow shortly thereafter.
6When they begin to lie down, give the command, and repeat it any number of times, keeping the treat on the ground at first. If you move it and the dog moves with it, bring it back down.
7Reward the dog with the treat, or give them the toy to play with.
8Give the release command and walk away.
Method 8 of 9: Stand
1Get your dog to remain standing and not move. When your dog has learned it, incorporate it into the general exercises.
2Get some tasty food treats or a toy.
3Call your dog to you.
4As they get to you, tell them to LISTEN, and hold the toy or treat in front of their face, at their nose height (if they sit, try again, but with the treat or toy slightly lower).
5Give the command "Stand" or "Stand still" and repeat, keeping the treat still in front of their nose. If your dog tries to eat it or take it, close your hand and verbally object (you could shout "No!" firmly.) Re-open your hand, when they stop.
6Reward the dog with the treat, or give them the toy to play with.
7Give the release command, and walk away.
Method 9 of 9: Speak
- The speak command teaches your dog to bark in response to your verbal cue. This method can also cure barking problem of your dog.
1Teach your dog to respond on clicker. Just click and treat a few times that will teach your dog to associate the click with the treat. Continue this clicker training until your dog expects a reward from you after hearing the sound of click.
2Understand when your dog barks most. For example, if it barks on withholding a treat, knocking of door, or doorbell, do these tasks. When your dog starts barking, say verbal cue "Speak", and click and treat.
3Repeat step 3 several times, and give your dog the speaking command every time. If he obeys and barks on your command, give him a treat.Ad

- When using voice commands, use a firm voice. You mean for this dog to sit, so speak with meaning. Do not plead or whisper, the dog will think you are too timid to speak up and he will think HE is the dominant one, not you. Also, don't scream, the dog will think you are angry and become gradually frightened.
- Realize that your puppy will have accidents. Don't overreact *Do not allow your dog to bite you, even playfully. This sets a bad precedent and it will be difficult for you to break them of this habit.
- Don't let your dog do something bad too many times because they will get into a bad habit.
- When your dog has mastered voice commands, consider adding hand signals to the command in your training as well. That way if they cannot hear you but they can see you, you can always keep control of your dog.
- Love them and they will love you too.
- Remember that every dog is different. One dog might learn at a slower pace than another dog, and that's okay. There is no such thing as an untrainable dog!
- Remember that dogs do not communicate the same way humans do. It's up to you to learn their "language" not the other way around.
- Reprimand your dog in the same manner that "mama dog" would. If they whine or bark when you don't want them to, use your hand over their muzzle and close their mouth. Then get close to their face and in a very low voice (like a growl) say "No", long and low so it sound almost like a growl. Mama dogs will do this with their mouths on the puppies muzzle to let them know they are not behaving. Dogs understand this. Yelling "no" and pointing at them means nothing to a dog. You might as well be saying "blah blah blah". Once they identify the low, growling "no" as negative, you can use it to reprimand them.
- Do not let your dog "lean" on you either when you are standing up or sitting down. This is not a sign that they like you. This is a sign of dominance. You are the leader. Push them off if they do this.
- If using hand signals, be sure they are unique and distinct for the dog to see and differentiate.
- If all else fails, try hiring a dog trainer to help.
- Be consistent. Make sure the command and hand signal use is the same each time. 10-15 minutes per day every day is all that it takes.
- If your dog is disobedient, another good way to reprimand them is to isolate them from the rest of the "pack". Put them in their crate or kennel and ignore them. Isolation from the pack is dog language for "you've been bad and we don't like it". Your dog will understand it. They may even whine and howl but you have to ignore it. Think of it as a "time out" for your dog.
- Speak with a nice firm voice to your dog.
- Only use about two words dogs can not understand any more than that.
- Obedience training really is not for the dog...it's for YOU. This training teaches you how to communicate what you want your dog to do in a way that he understands. If you send your dog to someone else to train them, they learn to work with that person, not you. Take the time to learn how to train your dog, don't pass the responsibility off to someone else.
- Praise your dog often.
- Keep regular vet visits, stay up to date on shots, keep current on your city or town's license requirements and have your pet spayed or neutered as soon as they are old enough.
- Don't feed your dog junk food. Stick to food made especially for dogs. Table scraps are okay if they are healthy food and if you reduce amount of dog food you feed them. Dry dog kibble is better than wet food. It keeps their teeth clean and their breath more tolerable. You can use wet food as a treat or mix it with the dry in small amounts.
- Use a collar and leash that is appropriate to your dogs size. Too loose or too tight collars can cause injury.
- Regular exercise for your dog will prevent them from being destructive in your home. Dogs get bored. When they get bored, they find ways to "entertain" themselves. That may include chewing your favorite shoes (yes, it's happened to me...several times) or destroying furniture or barking incessantly. Avoid this problem by taking them for regular walks (twice a day is best). And it's good for you too!
- Clean up after your dog if they relieve themselves on someone else's property or in a public place. Doing this will ensure that others enjoy your dog as much as you do.
- Having a dog requires almost as much responsibility as a child. If you're not ready for that, don't get one.
- Don't be cruel to your dog or hit them. If you strike your dog out of frustration, it will only learn to fear you.
- Training dogs requires a large amount of patience, and can be extremely frustrating if you do not make the right choice for your skill level and lifestyle. If you find you have made a poor choice, find a new home for the dog as soon as possible. Call your local rescue organization or vet. Don't wait until you and the dog have suffered If you just don't have the patience, then either refine your training skills and techniques, or hire a professional to train your dog.

Mexico killings: How the drug war crippled the Juarez economy
As officials search for a motive behind the Mexico killings of US consulate employees in Cuidad Juarez, a local business group president points to the economic disaster that Mexico's drug war wrought in this industrial border city.
Mexico City; and Cuidad Juarez, Mexico
Mexican officials in the violence-wracked border city of Cuidad Juarez are working hard to determine a motive for this weekend's brazen drive-by shootings of a US consulate employee, her American husband, and a Mexican citizen affiliated with the consulate.
So far, there's been no official word on whether the Mexico killings of these US government workers was a targeted attack by drug traffickers or a random act of violence. But one thing's for sure: The killings are a serious blow to a city besieged by a brutal drug war and now reeling from the US downturn and an exodus of residents and businesses.
IN PICTURES: Mexico's drug war
100,000 jobs lost
Long dependent on the US market, this industrial hub of maquiladoras (factories) has lost 100,000 jobs since the recession, says Carlos Chavira, the president of the local business group Coparmex.
A lack of American demand for the goods Ciudad Juarez produces has been the main culprit. But while Juarez is usually the first place in Mexico to feel the economic impact of US woes, it is also typically the first to bounce back.
The city's recovery has stalled because of violence, says Mr. Chavira, particularly because of lost investments in the industries of information technology, automotives, and electronics. That represents about $450 million.

Panopto this week announced that it's beefing up support for the Blackboard electronic learning platform. The company is currently developing a new Blackboard Building Block for its CourseCast lecture capture system, which will be released this summer.
Through the integration, CourseCast users will be able to automatically generates folders for content within Blackboard Learn course pages. It also populates student access lists, publishes streaming content to the Blackboard Learn on the fly (recorded or live), and provides direct access to recordings though Blackboard Learn using single sign-on.
Panopto CourseCast is a lecture capture platform designed for capturing, editing, and streaming audio and video from presentations to the Web. Captured materials can be searched, linked, and annotated through the software, and recorded materials can be embedded in popular course management systems.
Through Panopto's Socrates program, CourseCast is available to academic institutions for free in exchange for those institutions participating in beta programs aimed at further enhancing the software.
"CourseCast's new Blackboard Building Block helps make campus-wide adoption of CourseCast a snap," said Eric Burns, co-founder and chief technology officer of Panopto. "With CourseCast, faculty and administrators no longer have to waste hours on manual data entry or file publishing. Instead, they can focus on delivering lessons that really engage their students – both in and out of the classroom."
Panopto's Blackboard Building Block is expected to be available in August. Further information can be found here.

ASU Learning: Social work program receives initial accreditation
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Another Angelo State University bachelor's degree program has received individual national accreditation.
The university's overall accreditation is through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and ASU had its reaccreditation affirmed for the next 10 years in December. Now, ASU's Bachelor of Social Work program has received its initial accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education's Commission on Accreditation.
The social work program is a component of the department of psychology, sociology and social work in ASU's College of Health and Human Services. The initial accreditation period will run for four years, as long as ASU submits a satisfactory progress report in December. "The CSWE grants accreditation to programs throughout the country," said Thomas Starkey, ASU social work program director. "Without receiving accreditation, there would be no social work program at ASU, and hopefully, this will allow us to continue to grow as a program."
Accreditation serves the public interest by assessing and identifying programs that engage in effective educational practices. The accrediting body, CSWE, holds programs accountable to those it serves — the profession, consumers, employers, students and their families.
"Accreditation is extremely important to a number of programs offered through the College of Health and Human Services, including nursing, physical therapy and now social work," said Leslie Mayrand, CHHS dean. "It lets the public know we offer high quality programs at ASU.
"Having assisted with a number of accreditation efforts over the years, I was struck by how detailed, comprehensive and lengthy the social work accreditation process was. I have nothing but praise for the social work faculty, led by Dr. Starkey, for their tenacity in achieving this incredible milestone."
Angelo State's BSW program first received candidacy status from the CSWE in 2010 and has received its initial accreditation that will run through 2018.
"Accreditation for the social work program means that our students will be able to sit for the Texas state licensing exam and that our program is on par with other BSW programs around the state and nation," Starkey said.
In addition to the BSW, ASU offers a Master of Science in Social Work degree with the University of Texas at Arlington.
"I believe with achieving accreditation," Mayrand said, "as well as our successful collaboration with UTA to offer a master's degree, our social work program is destined to become one of the most successful programs on campus."
The CSWE is a nonprofit national association representing more than 2,500 members, as well as graduate and undergraduate programs of professional social work education.
Founded in 1952, it is a partnership of educational and professional institutions, social welfare agencies and private citizens, and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the sole accrediting agency for social work education in the United States.
More information is available online at www.cswe.org/. More information on the BSW program is available online at www.angelo.edu/dept/psychology_sociol ogy/degree_programs/social_work.php.
Other ASU College of Health and Human Services accredited programs include the physical therapy doctoral program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.
All ASU nursing programs are accredited by the Board of Nursing Examiners for the State of Texas and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.
The athletic training program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education.
Additionally, ASU's Bachelor of Business Administration, Master of Business Administration and Master of Professional Accountancy programs in the College of Business are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.
ASU is also an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

Gingerbread (Prepare recipe 3 times):
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon McCormick® Ginger, Ground
2 teaspoons McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Allspice, Ground
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Nutmeg, Ground
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup molasses
1 egg
Royal Icing (Prepare recipe 2 times for assembling):
3 tablespoons powdered egg whites
meringue powder
1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted (about 4 cups)
6 tablespoons water
Assorted candies, cereals and cookies (see Decorating Ideas below)
Additional Royal Icing (3 to 4 times recipe)
4 baking sheets
Hand or stand mixer
Printed pattern (see template links below)
Pattern templates cut from foam board, heavy card stock or file folders
Parchment paper
Pizza wheel
Rolling pin
Sturdy base for gingerbread house, such as large baking pan or plywood
1. Print and cut out pattern templates.
Click here to download a PDF
of the templates for this house. Trace templates on foam board, heavy card stock or file folders. Cut out and label pattern pieces. If desired, cover pattern pieces with plastic wrap to keep them grease-free. (It is recommended that you "build" the gingerbread house first with pattern pieces to become familiar with how the house is constructed.)
2. Prepare Gingerbread recipe 3 times. (If using hand mixer, prepare 3 single batch recipes. If using stand mixer, prepare double batch recipes.) Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg and salt in large bowl; set aside.
3. Beat shortening and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg; beat well. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as possible with mixer. Stir in any remaining mixture with spoon. Dough will be stiff. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
4. Dust rolling pin lightly with flour. Trim parchment paper to size of baking sheet. Roll out 1/4 of the chilled dough to about 3/8-inch thickness on parchment paper. Occasionally wipe rolling pin clean and dust with additional flour if dough begins to stick to rolling pin. Keep remaining dough refrigerated.
5. Arrange pattern templates on dough, leaving 1 inch between templates. Cut around templates with pizza wheel. (Using a pizza wheel instead of a knife is faster and causes less drag on the dough.) Use small sharp knife to cut out smaller areas of templates. Repeat rolling and cutting process until all of the templates have been cut out. (Dough scraps can be refrigerated and added to next batch of dough for rolling and cutting.) Gently slide parchment paper with dough onto baking sheets. To minimize distortion during baking, let cut-out dough stand at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake each baking sheet 25 to 30 minutes or until gingerbread pieces are hard to the touch. Cool baking sheets on wire racks until gingerbread pieces are cool enough to handle. Place gingerbread pieces on cutting board. Place pattern templates on gingerbread. Trim with pizza wheel or small knife to template size. (Sandpaper may be used if house is not going to be eaten.) Cool gingerbread completely before assembling gingerbread house with royal icing.
7. Prepare Royal Icing recipe 2 times. (If using hand mixer, prepare 2 single batch recipes. If using stand mixer, prepare 1 double batch recipe.) Beat all ingredients in large bowl with electric mixer until stiff peaks form. For stand mixer, beat on low speed 7 to 10 minutes. For hand mixer, beat on high speed 10 to 12 minutes. (If using stand mixer or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water per recipe.) Each single recipe yields 3 cups icing. (To keep prepared royal icing moi
