Watch to find out more about dual iCT at Hopkins Bayview Medical Center
Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center was the first hospital in Maryland with a dual-room intraoperative CT scanner and image-guided surgery system for neurosurgery. Having imaging capabilities in two of our operating rooms has a positive effect on our patient outcomes by improving safety, decreasing infections and lowering the risks of complications. The intraoperative CT (iCT) and image-guided surgery system create unmatched surgical vision and precision, allowing surgeons to see things others cant see during complex brain, spine and trauma surgeries.

Currently in planning. Watch this space for further details.
The Google Highly Open Participation Contest for pre-university students (high school and secondary school students) took place between November 2007 and February 2008 and was aimed at encouraging young people to participate in open source projects. Joomla! is proud to have been invited to join with nine other open source organisations for this pilot program. Tomasz Dobrzyński was unanimously selected as Joomla!'s 2008 Grand Prize Winner of the Google Highly Open Participation Contest. Tomasz completed seven tasks during the competition.
Selecting a winner was difficult because there were many deserving contestants. In review, it was obvious that GHOP was more than a contest for Tomasz. He demonstrated what contributing to a free software community should be like. He discovered that learning is fun, he expressed joy in sharing what he produced with others, he was proud to contribute his gifts, and he was honoured to be a part of the Joomla! community. As is true with many other contestants, Tomasz inspired those of us who worked with the program and reminded us why we also contribute.
We congratulate Tomasz Dobrzyński on this well deserved honor and we thank him, and each of the others, who contributed to the Joomla! community.
All completed contest tasks are available for review and download.

|Freyd's Generating Hypothesis for Groups with Periodic Cohomology
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $k$ be a field whose characteristic $p$ divides the order of $G$. Freyd's generating hypothesis for the stable module category of $G$ is the statement that a map between finite-dimensional $kG$-modules in the thick subcategory generated by $k$ factors through a projective if the induced map on Tate cohomology is trivial. We show that if $G$ has periodic cohomology, then the generating hypothesis holds if and only if the Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ is $C_2$ or $C_3$. We also give some other conditions that are equivalent to the GH for groups with periodic cohomology.
Keywords:Tate cohomology, generating hypothesis, stable module category, ghost map, principal block, thick subcategory, periodic cohomology

Project ideas for people who want to get involved in Padre.
(TODO: connect them to tickets)
Initial list created for Google Summer of code 2011
Full Perl 5 Debugger Integration with Padre
Padre already has a debugger but it has lots of short comings as it is a first-generation implementation. It is connecting to the built-in debugger of perl itself via the Debug::Client module.
In this project one will need to improve the Debug::Client making sure it works well on all major operating systems and on all version of perl from 5.6 till 5.14 (to be released soon). There are several tickets opened with a number of feature requests.
The debugger should be fully integrated into the IDE (e.g. Java debugger in Netbeans), where you can inspect values by hovering variables, set breakpoints, etc all from the GUI without a deeper knowledge of the perl debugger (for simple tasks at least).
Related #928, #929, #930, #931, #1005, #1036, #1083, #1085, #1086
Enlarging automated test suite using Win32::GUITest
Padre has a number of internal unit-tests but as it is a GUI project most of the testing should be done on the GUI itself. We have a very limited - I'd say experimental - set of test using the Win32::GUITest module from CPAN. These test can be found in the t/win32 in the Padre source code.
In the meantime we have started to write test-cases for manual testing.
The task is to implement about 30 test-cases covering most of the central features of Padre with automated test.
Enlarging test suite using the actions system
Instead of adding events directly to menu items Padre has a separate Action system. Each action then can be added to the menu or the toolbar or to the right-click pop-up window or probably elsewhere. Padre also has a way to automatically execute a set of actions that were given to it on the command line. This enables us to write certain automated test. An example for such test can be found in the xt/actions.t file in the Padre source code.
The task is to add about 30 test cases to provide a good coverage of Padre via the actions system. As this has never been tested full probably the action system itself will need further extension to be able to test various important features of Padre.
Implementing automated tests using Dogtail
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogtail )
yes, that's in Python
Implementing Code::Explain
Code::Explain is a module that will implement all the capabilities of the context sensitive help of Padre. It will have an API to be used within Padre. It will also have a command line interface to make it usable by any editor that is capable of calling external commands such as vim. It will also have a web interface and will be usable as part of an IRC chatbot.
There is a prototype of all this on CPAN but there is a lot of work to be done.
The project is to factor out and greatly enhance the code analysis capabilities that Padre already has.
Perl 6 regex editor
Padre already has a regex editor (Tools / Regex Editor)
Adding a Perl 6 regex editor to Padre and making improvements to the existing Perl 5 regex editor.
GUI CPAN installer for Padre
Padre has a prototype of CPAN installer that is mostly broken.
The following items are in this project: Fix and enhance the CPAN installer of Padre. Integrate it with the plugin manager. Make it work with external perls as well (and not only with the one Padre is running on).
MacOSX Support
Padre is written in Perl and uses Wx-Widgets (OS independent). Nevertheless, there is considerable work needed to bring Padre on MacOSX on the same level as MS Windows and GNU/Linux.

Hellgate Overview
Hellgate: London (developed by Flagship Studios) recently found its way back from the fiery pits to grace us in the form of Hellgate (published by HanbitSoft, Inc). Originally released in 2007, Hellgate: London ceased to be about 16 months later. Like a phoenix, however, the game is once more available in a free-to-play model. Unlike the legendary firebird, it's about as bright as a dying candle. Hellgate's classes are paired up into three main archetypes, or Factions as they are referred to in game. Players need to choose one of these classes for their role playing character before they can start playing the game. The factions are split as follows;
Templars are of an order of divine warriors who wish to preserve humanity and smite the Great Dark that has fallen upon the world. Their two classes are Guardians and Blademasters.
Cabalists are seekers of knowledge who want to control the fate of mankind by studying the Great Dark and using their powers. Their classes are Summoners and Evokers.
Hunters are highly trained ex-military operatives who have been through almost every warlike scenario imaginable. Marksmen and Engineers are their classes.

Hellgate Review
By Jaime Skelton
Hellgate: London (developed by Flagship Studios) recently found its way back from the fiery pits to grace us in the form of Hellgate (published by HanbitSoft, Inc). Originally released in 2007, Hellgate: London ceased to be about 16 months later. Like a phoenix, however, the game is once more available in a free-to-play model. Unlike the legendary firebird, it's about as bright as a dying candle.
Getting In is the Easy Part
Character creation is standard fare for an MMO. You decide on gender, and tweak the appearance to your liking. You also have your choice of six classes: Guardian, Blademaster, Evoker, Summoner, Marksman, and Engineer. The game allows a decent amount of customization, while also remaining fairly simple.
Once you've created your character and enter the game, you're sent into a fairly in-depth tutorial. The tutorial offers rewards for completion, namely a title and an achievement, so it's worth going through. Missing, however, is the continuation of the story introduced in the opening cinematic. Instead, you're thrown into a drab, burnt cityscape and progress to the end. The tutorial also lacks a look into other key functions the game offers, such as crafting, that would help new players acclimate to the game.
Stemming the Tides
Controls are typical of most MMORPGs – WASD for movement, for example – while the mouse buttons are used for your auto attacks. The controls tend to be unresponsive and laggy on many different actions, though: for example, attacking an enemy can result in the monster dying before it reaches melee, or the monster not being damaged at all.
Another problem is the user interface itself. While the main screen is relatively clutter-free, additional windows become hard to utilize. Menus are still designed with their single-player functionality from the first incarnation of Hellgate. This means that the menus cover your entire screen while the game continues, despite the fact that these menus were designed to pause the game because of their obtrusiveness. This menu system does not work as well in an MMO, and leads to clutter and unnecessary difficulty.[SinglePic not found]
Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It
Hellgate is made up of several quest hubs, which send you through gates to various locations. Most of the questing is simple fetch or kill tasks, which deviates very little throughout the game. On the positive side is the boss system, which summons a stronger "boss" monster when you've defeated enough of the weaker foes. These monsters drop one to several pieces of equipment as well as crafting supplies most of the time, and provide a fair challenge after slaughtering their minions. Monsters also rarely drop special items which, when collected in certain quantities, unlock the portal to world bosses which grant more of a challenge and better rewards.
Some quests are also repeatable, usually ones with multiple rewards so you can collect them all. This works in theory; however, splitting between old and new quest hubs becomes jarring and unexciting. Many quests are also disjointed; objectives send you back and forth between previous areas and new areas instead of streamlining you from point to point.
Vanquish the Wicked
Combat in Hellgate is fairly hit and miss. Holding the left or right mouse button triggers your auto attack. The number keys control the use of any skills your character has learned. Combat degenerates quickly into auto-attacking lesser foes and using all your skills to defeat boss monsters. Many of these bosses have resistances, weaknesses and abilities of their own. The game does not explain, however, many of the symbols used to describe these strengths and weaknesses. This may cause some difficulty spikes at unexpected times, as boss monsters are randomly determined.
Gearing for the Apocalypse
One nice thing about Hellgate is the equipment. Each piece of gear you obtain shows up on your character, with the exception of jewelry. Equipment is class-based, and pieces go well together visually. This allows another level of customization for your character. Any equipment you don't need can be dismantled for material, used in crafting and upgrading.
Crafting is done by the use of patterns, occasionally dropped by monsters. It is as simple as gathering the materials necessary and using the pattern from your inventory. Because patterns are randomly dropped, you can't guarantee you'll find a pattern for equipment you can use – but you can trade both patterns and crafted equipment with other players to compensate.
Upgrading increases the strength of the items you currently have, within certain thresholds. This system is typical of many other free-to-play games, with a chance of failure. In the case of success, the item's attributes increase. If it fails, you lose the materials it required, but not the item itself, allowing you to try again with additional material.
Both systems are intuitive and user-friendly, and both are very useful to utilize in order to strengthen your character. They do require a lot of grinding, though, as regular playing will only yield a couple of upgrades here and there. Bosses, however, drop many pieces of equipment that can be dismantled, which help facilitate this system greatly.[SinglePic not found]
I Feel … Stronger
Leveling in Hellgate gives you a few options. First, you assign stat points to your four attributes – Accuracy, Strength, Stamina, and Willpower. Accuracy increases your critical strike damage, and reduces spread on guns. Strength increases melee damage as well as letting you wear heavier armor. Stamina increases health. Willpower adds to your power and increases your power regeneration. Each of these base stats has a "feed" bar, while each piece of equipment uses a certain amount of these feed bars. This means that if you don't have enough Strength to equip a sword, for example, it's possible to drop some armor that uses Strength in order to equip the sword, or you may just want to start raising your strength stat to use more strength equipment.
There are also three skill trees per class. You get a skill point every level that you can invest to learn skills and upgrade them. In typical fashion, skills come in both active and passive varieties, and the skills you select greatly influences how the character will play. Character level also gates certain skills, so you can't simply power up one skill right away, forcing a player to make some additional choices rather than maximizing choice skills.
Final Verdict: Fair
Hellgate suffers from some major problems. While the game was originally in English, the US/EU release uses a translation of a translation of that original design. This creates a low-budget "Engrish" feel to the game that existed early in the free-to-play MMO world. Constant server latency and a clunky battle system bring forth their own frustrations. A user interface that is designed for a single player experience limits the enjoyment of the game further. The game feels very dated and stuck in the year it shut down.
There are some positive aspects, mostly the ease of the crafting system and providing purpose to "trash" mobs. Overall, however, Hellgate needs a lot of attention to make it more than a simple rehash of Hellgate: London.

Test ID: HDCH
Cholesterol, HDL, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
High density lipoprotein (HDL) is the smallest of the lipoprotein particles and comprises a complex family of lipoprotein particles that exist in a constant state of dynamic flux as the particles interact with other HDL particles and with low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles. HDL has the largest proportion of protein relative to lipid compared to other lipoproteins (>50% protein).
Total cholesterol levels have long been known to be related to coronary heart disease (CHD). HDL cholesterol is also an important tool used to assess an individual's risk of developing CHD since a strong negative relationship between HDL cholesterol concentration and the incidence of CHD has been reported.
In some individuals, exercise increases the HDL cholesterol level; those with more physical activity have higher HDL cholesterol values.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has set the following guidelines for lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein [HDL], and low density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol) in adults ages 18 and up:
Low (removed HDL): <40 mg/dL
Normal: 40-60 mg/dL
High: >60 mg/dL
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) has set the following guidelines for lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL cholesterol) in children ages 2-17:
Low HDL: <40 mg/dL
Borderline low: 40-59 mg/dL
Normal: > or =60 mg/dL
Also see age and sex adjusted reference values in Cholesterol, HDL-Percentile Ranking in Lipids and Lipoproteins in Blood Plasma (Serum) in Special Instructions.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Values >60 mg/dL are considered a negative risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and are considered protective. Values > or =80 to 100 mg/dL may indicate metabolic response to certain medications such as hormone replacement therapy, chronic liver disease, or some form of chronic intoxication, such as with alcohol, heavy metals, industrial chemicals including pesticides.
Values <40 mg/dL correlate with increased risk for CHD.
High density lipoprotein values < or =5 mg/dL occur in Tangier disease, in association with cholestatic liver disease, and in association with diminished hepatocyte function.
See Lipids and Lipoproteins in Blood Plasma (Serum) in Special Instructions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Fasting is not necessary but is preferable. However, if the high density lipoprotein cholesterol data is used to calculate the low density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting is required since triglycerides concentration is used in the calculation.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

You know it'll end up:
PA: "we would like to go 4+1 to reach 5".
NHL: "hmm, yes we would like that too, but how do you reach 4?"
Leaue: "it is 1+3 or 3+1, nothing else. Deal is off".
No this is how it's really going to go:
NHL: Fine, we give in! The players can have everything they want. The only request we have is Lundqvist needs to wear smaller pads.
PA: What's wrong with Hanks pads?
NHL: Their too big of course.
PA: hmmmmmmm
NHL: So, sounds good?
PA: *pause* no......
NHL: Are you serious?
PA: Meeting is over, better go tell the media no progress was made.
NHL: *epic face palm*

I KNOW it's the power button! For gods shake!
For my father wasn't so obvious though and he asked me. I don't know if he is idiot or not but for sure he is not the only one around.
Your UI it's ultra cool and fantastic. Very professional maiden and practical but some essential small things like this very specific one, makes bad to the overall great experience.
I can understand out of a UI-veiw this move, but I know a lot of people who see a boundary between the standard buttons on the keyboard, the short cut buttons, the buttons on the screen (i.e. the software), and all other buttons (I think it was first last year my mother learnt how the "e-mail" shortcut button worked on her laptop she had used for 4 years straight and still double click links in browsers). And for those users the power button on the computer is for starting (even seen the button referred to as the ON-button in manuals/docs aimed at that group of computer users). Nothing else.
So from a UI-pov, good move, from a user-pov very questionable.
On the other hand this operating system maybe is aimed just for people who KNOWS computer, and just not uses them to get the work done, or for people who have never got enough computer experience to have those kinds of preconceptions about how stuff works.
For example, what happens if you do two test runs which happen to produce almost the same average FPS? The PTS just blindly accepts that result as long as it is below the standard deviation threshold, despite the fact that the confidence in that result is totally unknown.
ANOVA would also allow calculation of confidence intervals which would give meaning to your results. For example, in the Blowfish benchmark, performance varies by only ~1.8% between the top performer MeeGo, and worst performer Moblin. I strongly suspect that this is not a statistically significant result however you "call" it for MeeGo.
My personal experience is that PTS runs most tests at least three to five times and THEN looks at std dev. Also, from using some of the PTS tests in our regular QA runs, I can say that the tests we use at least are very repeatable, with one big caveat.
This caveat is that if your OS is having a lot of "background noise", the results will be less stable than when you have a "clean background OS".
In MeeGo we've mostly succeeded in getting a clean background OS (this is more important for power behavior, but the stable performance is a nice side benefit), and the results are very repeatable. I can imagine that OSes that haven't paid attention to this and/or are very noisy, will see more variability in results...
It's an interesting and well done review.
"... Also in the testing mix are Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 LTS, Moblin 2.1, and Fedora 13."
Regarding Linux distributions on netbooks, you may have not noticed that there is a new "kid in the city".
I'm referring to Peppermint OS One, witch had it's first official release at 27/05/2010, as per Distrowatch announcement.
This is a lightweight LXDE distro,featuring the Openbox WM, based on Debian, Ubuntu and Mint, with many web-based applications, targeting the Netbox users.
Next opportunity, it would be interesting to see how Peppermint OS compare to the Distros included in the present review.

Just Finished Bathroom Remodel (Thank You; Third Time's a Charm)
Two months ago, I began planning to remodel the only bathroom (110 square feet) in my house (c. 1826). There was a lot of fear and apprehension, and I often found myself looking for answers on this forum. You don't know how helpful you were, and to the extent I can be helpful to anyone, please let me know.
I'll try to post pictures, but I have no idea how to do it, so we'll see.
But here's what I ended up using:
Floor (9"x18" honed calacatta gold with dove gray TEC grout and Nuheat mat with Solo thermostat)
Vanity (it's made by Silkroad Exclusive and called Tenino on some websites; I got it on eb_ay for $900 delivered, removed the top and sinks, and hardware and replaced them with two Kohler Archer undermount sinks, 2 cm antique brown granite in a leathered finish, and cabinet hardware from Restoration Hardware)
Mirrors (they are from Lowes (I believe from the "Fanella" collection)
Lighting (five 40 W pot lights and 1 sconce (the Nolan single sconce with linen shade from Restoration Hardware)
Tub (Mirabelle Edenton 30"x60" acrylic thermal air bath (only sold at Ferguson, and has huge interior dimensions (bigger than most 34"x66" tubs I tried and cheaper (by half) and bigger inside than the 36"x60" Hydrosystems Lacey I was looking at))
Shower (same honed calacatta gold time and grout on the walls and niche, cheap but well matching 2"x2" square mosaic tiles from Home Depot in Grecian White (I had to pick through many boxes to get ones that matched, but it saved me $250 off of the calacatta gold), two Kohler body sprays (K-8002 (54 nozzles each), two Kohler volume controls (one for the shower head and one for the body sprays), the new Kohler Katalyst shower head, Oatey liner and drain)
Shower door and glass for knee wall (not in yet, but they will be Starphire glass)
Replaced the window with a 34"x53" 400 series casement window by Andersen with snap-in grille)
Jacuzzi Prestige toilet
Fixtures (with matching Kohler valves) (all Kohler Pinstripe Pure (two faucets, tub spout and wall-mount valves, shower head, thermostatic valve trim, volume control trim, and shower door handles)
Paint (all Benjamin Moore Aura Bath and Spa Paint (Matte); walls Mount Saint Anne (1565) and trim and ceiling White Dove (OC-17))
Oh!! Just beautiful, beautiful! Big congratulations on a terrific job! I have a feeling your new bathroom will be the inspiration for other folks down the road. Your space is refined elegance and appears "just right" for your home. I love every detail. I hope you enjoy it to pieces!
The vanity is 60", but the countertop is about 62" because I filled up that entire niche. I put the link to the manufacturer's web site below because they have many vanities under 60", including some that are less than 60". I spent forever trying to find a vanity that had all useable space. This one has six fully functional drawers and two fully functional cabinet door areas--a ton of space and no false doors/drawers.
The cat is a ragdoll. The dog is far less interested in the bathroom.
I highly recommend this granite, if you can find it. It's very hard to find in 2 cm, but easier to find in 3 cm. I found mine at a stone yard in Marlton, NJ (it was a remnant but big enough to get everything I needed out of it).
And do not buy your Kohler fixtures at Ferguson or any other store. I saved over $1K buying everything online.
Here is a link that might be useful: Vanity can be found here
That's just fabulous, Kevin. Congratulations and applause from over here in the PNW.
Agreed about buying online..sad but true. I know some people like to take online prices and see if their local stores will match them but I don't feel comfortable doing that. I figure they have their prices and online has theirs and I don't like begging. Good onya for picking through the HD tile, too!
Question: Was your granite already leather-finished when you found the remnant? The tactile-obsessive in me just LOVES the leather finish. Do you find yourself just rubbing your hands over it? : )
The granite already was leathered, which (besides the thickness) was why I had such a tough time finding it. There was a close second, but it only came in 3 cm and had a little too much white in it. (If I could talked myself out of all of the concerns I had with limestone, I would have used either lagos azul or a gray variety whose name escapes me.). No one would leather granite for me because they say you need special chemicals and hardware most, if not all, fabricators don't have. Believe me, I tried.
Any way, the texture is pretty incredible. I'm not sure I'd want it in a kitchen, but I love it in the bathroom. It almost feels like satin or velvet, and it doesn't show water drops or fingerprints. It also takes a stone like Antique Brown (also called Kohiba) and makes it subtle and slightly gray. Pretty awesome. I'll try to take some additional pictures to show the texture.
Ah, so you decided you wanted the leather finish and then set about finding it in a remnant--and then found it?! Lucky you! Personally I like what you chose more than a lagos azul--it's got more life to it while still being restrained like a limestone. Perfect
Very beautiful! So glad to see your toilet is not white since mine is not and I am trying to look for a paint color that will look nice with it. You have beautiful taste! I love everything about your bathroom especially the paint color! Was the Mount Saint Anne (1565) paint on the wall mixed in the Aura paint? Gorgeous color!
I'd like to see photos of the rest of your house! Ours is 1890, and renovating our bath has really provided some challenges! Isn't it nice to be done? I am sick of all the construction in my hallway!
I'm with you about buying fixtures online... I found every single purchase online for far less than my local retail boutiques. Makes you wonder who is still paying full price.
You did a fantastic job... it's really beautiful. Congrats!
Here is a link that might be useful: 1890 Bath Renovation
Beautiful bathroom! I had Mount Saint Anne in my last bedroom; it's such a lovely color. Can I ask how you like the Prestige toilet? I'm looking at the same one for my bath update and have read mixed reviews at Lowes.com. Also, how large is your shower? Thanks.
I love the toilet. The seat that comes with it is pretty lame (cheap plastic), and I've tried to replace it with an enameled wood seat, but the bolt configuration for the hinges is odd and difficult to work with, so I just stuck with it. Performance-wise, it works well. To me, it's the most attractive toilet for the price (I think I paid $195). Just know that it's not a normal install. There's a U-shaped bracket that screws into the floor and then you screw into the sides of that bracket from the left and right sides of the toilet base. Those holes on the toilet base are then plugged with chrome caps.
The shower is 5'x3' technically, but the actual interior space is 60"x32". It now has doors on it.
The shower pull is from the same line as the rest of the plumbing fixtures: Kohler Pinstripe Pure. It was about $225 on Amazon, but worth the price because nothing else my glass place had would have matched well. As you may know from other posts, I was supposed to have starphire glass but when my glass company arrived and unpacakaged the door (which was labeled starphire), it was regular glass. I was pissed off but also tired of waiting, so I kept it. I'm getting used to it but should have waited for the clearer glass. Don't make my mistake if you have white tile.
There's absolutely no problem with splashing water in the sinks (if you mean cause by the faucet). Kohler faucets (the more expensive ones, at least) basically have a solid laminar flow that goes straight down and doesn't splatter at all. I don't have gooseneck of high faucets, so perhaps that could create a different flow, but I doubt it.
The sinks I used (Kohler Archer) also don't have a flat bottom; it's kind of faceted.
Kevin, when we built our house (going on 13 years), we used corian in the bathroom and I love the integrated sink of corian. So easy to clean that sink. But now we're thinking of a minor re-model with new mirrors, granite countertops, fixtures and of course the sinks will have to be replaced. Still trying to decide about replacing the flooring as we already have warm tiles and I like the flooring ok. The Archer sink is one I've looked at. We have Kohler faucets now and they are still perfect but I will replace just because it's wise to do so with something used as much as our MB fixtures. I'm still leary of ceramic sinks as I remember the days of old chipped ceramic. The thoughts make me shudder sometimes. I think that's one reason I keep putting off this project. I'll be back on here one day advice-seeking for real!
Just spent the past several minutes reading your post and enjoying the pictures of your amazing bathroom remodeling project. I am in the planning stages of a master bath renovation and have jotted down several of your ideas and materials. Thank you! Wish you could come and do mine!

Aha! Thanks, Peter.
Help, Suggestions, Future of The D-Word
Difficulties with The D-Word? If you can't find the right answers on our Help page, please post in this topic. Ideas for future D-Word releases or projects can be posted here as well.
maybe this just my browser...if I am reading a topic and click to view someone's profile, I can't get back to the topic using the browser's back button. I have to follow the 'topics' link and then try and remember which topic I was in.
Must be a browser setting... something that tries to reload stuff instead of just going back...?
What combination of OS and browser versions are you using?
OS 10.4.10 and Firefox v.1.
It doesn't happen with other websites.
Your browser is very old. I'd recommend upgrading. It sounds to me like this might happen only if you've posted before you click off the topic. I'd recommend not using the back button. Instead, when you click the member's profile link, hold down the Command (Apple) key and the link will open in a new tab or window.
Drat, I knew I'd end up having to upgrade something.
Thanks Peter!
hey i had a post disappear too! just like marge! oops, marj!
(i was telling riley it was fine to feel good about yankees fans feeling bad, so maybe some new yorker sabotaged it)
Marj just hit Preview instead of Post. I guess that's what you did, too?
Ben - actually I updated a post on my problem here: http://www.d-word.com/topics/show/94?post=126164
if you get problems like that in the future, please email me date and time (including timezone) of the error ASAP and I'll check the logs...
Not sure where this should go so here it is in Help. Seeing as how there is a photo album thread is it possible to have a similar one for on-line video links?
Any chance of moving the navigation links that are below the "New Post" section to above the "New Post" section? Since I use the "next" function far more often than posting a new message, it would reduce the amount of scrolling I have to do to get to the "next" link.
We'll have video attachments as soon as we leave the Beta stage behind us, Nick.
John, I would like to have your problems... :-)
Judy, I moved your post to the Distribution topic:
is there any way to make the post box and the edit box bigger? if it's not too hard?
use a magnifying glass or (on a mac) go to system prefs > seeing > zoom
Or use Safari 3.0 (Mac or PC) which has resizable text-boxes. However, it might break the rest of the layout...
This isn't a big problem but curious nonetheless. When I select a topic in the list and it takes me to the particular site, if for instance the topic has 16 pages to it-
with a most recent post, say, four hours ago-I am instead taken to, say, page 9 with posts that are a week and a half old instead of the most recent (or heck, even if it took me to the beginning with the very first posts would make more sense).
Any reason for this? I'm on a Mac OS 10.4.11, Safari 3
Oops, so obviously the double-dash isn't entirely fixed.... Sorry folks. I'll figure it out eventually!
Alan, the system remembers where you were last reading, so it takes you to the last 3 posts you have read and shows you new ones following on from them. You'll see the first 3 posts will be grey (meaning you've read them) and the rest on that page will be white, meaning they're new to you.
oops, accidentally clicked "Hide IDFA 2007 Topic"... how do I get it back?
Go to the main page and click on "my topics" or here where you can select or deselect topics to be displayed.
Hey, what gives? D-word won't allow me to see the last posting in the views on news section, or allow me to post (even show me the box that I need to post.
Chris Pavsek broke D-Word.

Warface Summary
Latest news
Crytek bringing winter to Warface in new co-op setting 'Operation Cold Peak'
Free-to-play shooter Warface from Crysis creator Crytek is going to feel the chill as a new Siberian backdrop is added. Operation Cold Peak features a secluded stronghold high in the Altai Mountains.
Three new maps and "powerful new bosses" await in this snowy tundra. A teaser for the new co-op setting has been released with it due out soon. The last update was the Nevada Versus map pack.
Warface: Nevada Storm update adds new maps and various gameplay and performance fixes
Crytek's free-to-play online shooter Warface has received a new update, titled Nevada Storm. It adds three new maps, as well as various improvements to gameplay.
The new maps take place (you guessed it) in Nevada. 'Airbase' and 'Streetwars' are straightforward Team Deathmatch levels, while 'Quarry' offers a new Capture the Flag venue.
Crytek's free-to-play shooter Warface now live in Europe and US
Online browser title Warface from Crytek is officially launched in Europe and North America, using the studio's new social platform GFACE. It's a free-to-play first-person shooter powered by CryEngine 3.
It's a "constantly updated" universe that Crytek has in mind with Warface, with class-based FPS PvP and co-op missions. Crytek want to prove F2P can be "top quality, blockbuster experiences".
Crytek's free-to-play shooter Warface goes live October 21st
The tyranny of the beta period for Warface is nearly at an end with the F2P shooter going officially live next week, October 21st. It's already in full swing over in Russia and China, leaving just us Westerners behind.
To mark the occasion Crytek have released a teaser trailer for Warface's big push. It's got running, gunning and briefcase holding - everything you could want.
Crytek has to adjust for "different level of 'fair'" with Warface across regions
Speaking with Joshua Howard, executive producer for Warface, we learn that not all's 'fair' in war when it comes to regional expectations. The team have to adjust game balance for each market, like in Russia.
That doesn't mean Warface is unrecognisable in pace when you skip over regions, but the Crytek team had to "appreciate that 'fair' means different things" to the various camps.

Mobile Web Design : Lazy Registration
This design pattern is part of the Mobile Web Design series.
More often than not as an end user you would be interested in looking at the product, trying it out if possible, reading about it, taking a demo etc. before finally making up your mind whether you are interested in actually buying it or not. The same mindset works with the visitor to a webpage, they want to first explore the webpage before deciding to actually signup or register for the services. Sometimes the website require lot of user information like personal details, debit/credit card information, business address etc, which can be a long and time consuming affair which only a genuinely interested user would want to bother completing.
Sometimes because of the sheer amount of information expected of the first time user, bugs them so much that they end up abandoning the site even without looking through the features available. This is a loss of a potential user who could have given business to the company/merchants involved with the site.
This is where the mechanism known as lazy registration comes into picture.
What is lazy registration
As the name suggests it's a lazy form of registration. The typical sign up/register yourself kind of forms have irritated the user no ends. The lazy registration mechanism allows the user to navigate through the site, allowing them to explore the potentialities available without asking them for a formal signup. This allows the user to view the contents of the site till a point where they might end up getting interested in actually being a part of it and that's where you ask the user to sign up.
Since the user has gone through the features and is rather impressed with the potentials at this point s/he doesn't mind spending a few minutes to enter in their information. This way you avoid losing a visiting user, whom you would have had you burdened them with sign-up first approach.
When to use
The lazy registration mechanism should be used in one of the following use case scenarios:-
- In cases where you know upfront that you are going to need a lot of information from the user to allow them to conduct formal business through the site.
- There are a potential set of feature/web pages that you can allow the user to visit without needing their registration details.
- You are confident about the offerings of the website, so you want the user to experience it and even compare it with your competitors.
- Allowing the user to investigate time incrementally by navigating through the site without a signup approach, to a point where you are confident they will get interested in your offerings.
- When you don't want to lose a potential customer by bogging them down with the signup first approach.
Some of the key advantages of using this approach are:-
- You don't stand the chance of losing a potential customer if the services offered on the website are really good/compare well with the competition.
- Boosts user trust and confidence level in the site after they have taken a tour of sorts and seen that it is safe and trustworthy to do business on/through the site.
- Allows incremental signup approach where you can smartly design the website navigation in such a way that the user doesn't go through a formal signup mechanism and yet at every step their information if captured till user has completed the signup.
- Does not put unwanted user crowd on the website, as a signup approach would do. There are lots of times people just browse and then leave without actually doing anything to generate revenues for the provider. A formal signup approach would have created such users in the system which a lazy registration would avoid.
Some of the key disadvantages of using this approach however are:-
- You risk losing a user, with the 'try before you buy' approach because they might just navigate around and then leave without signing up.
- Unless implemented well especially while doing an incremental signup, the user might get suspicious that you are trying to gather data surreptitiously.
- Some users might be quite content with the limited/no signup features you provide them, obviating the need for them to actually signup.
Additional Resources
Final Word
It is a nice concept which if implemented well can boost the overall user confidence and trust level on your website, in turn generating more genuine user registrations and usage of the website. The features to be displayed through this mechanism have to be chosen carefully so that the user interest is maintained convincing them to finally sign up.
