The element iron is essential to human life. As part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells, iron plays an integral role in nourishing every cell in the body with oxygen. It also functions as a part of myoglobin, which helps muscle cells store oxygen. Without iron, your body could not make ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the body's primary energy source), produce DNA, or carry out many other critical processes.
Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, learning disabilities, impaired immune function, fatigue, and depression. However, you shouldn't take iron supplements unless lab tests show that you are genuinely deficient.
The official US recommendations for daily intake of iron are as follows:
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world; worldwide, at least 700 million individuals have iron-deficiency anemia. 1 While iron deficiency is widespread in the developing world, it is also prevalent in developed countries. Groups at high risk are children, teenage girls, menstruating women (especially those with excessively heavy menstruation, known as menorrhagia), pregnant women, and the elderly. 2,3
There are two major forms of iron: heme iron and nonheme iron. Heme iron is bound to the proteins hemoglobin or myoglobin, whereas nonheme iron is an inorganic compound. (In chemistry, "organic" has a very precise meaning that has nothing to do with farming. An organic compound contains carbon atoms. Thus "inorganic iron" is an iron compound containing no carbon.) Heme iron, obtained from red meats and fish, is easily absorbed by the body. Nonheme iron, usually derived from plants, is less easily absorbed.
Rich sources of heme iron include oysters, meat, poultry, and fish. The main sources of nonheme iron are dried fruits, molasses, whole grains, legumes, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and kelp . Contrary to popular belief, there is no meaningful evidence that cooking in an iron skillet or pot provides a meaningful amount of iron supplementation. 65
Iron absorption may be affected by the following substances: antibiotics in the quinolone (Floxin, Cipro) 4-8 or tetracycline9-11 families, levodopa , 12methyldopa , 13,14carbidopa , 15penicillamine , 16thyroid hormone , 17captopril (and possibly other ACE inhibitors ), 18calcium , 19-22soy , 23zinc , 24copper , 25 or manganese , 26 or multivitamin/multimineral tablets. 58-59 Conversely, iron may inhibit their absorption, too.
In addition, drugs in the H 2 blocker or proton pump inhibitor families may impair iron absorption. 27
The typical short-term therapeutic dosage to correct iron deficiency is 100 to 200 mg daily. Once your body's iron stores reach normal levels, however, this dose should be reduced to the lowest level that can maintain iron balance.
The most obvious use of iron supplements is to treat iron deficiency. Severe iron deficiency causes anemia, which in turn causes many symptoms. Iron deficiency too slight to cause anemia may impair health as well. Several, though not all, double-blind trials suggest that mild iron deficiency might impair sports performance . 28,36,51-55 In addition, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 144 women with unexplained fatigue who also had low or borderline-low levels of ferritin (a measure of stored iron) found that iron supplement enhanced energy and wellbeing. 56 Another study found that iron supplements improved mental function in women who were iron deficient. 63 However, don't take iron just because you feel tired. Make sure to get tested to see whether you are indeed deficient. With iron, more is definitely not better. (See Safety Issues .)
Excessively heavy menstruation (menorrhagia) can certainly cause iron loss, and thereby may warrant iron supplements. Interestingly, a small double-blind trial found evidence that iron supplements might actually help reduce menstrual bleeding in women with menorrhagia who are also iron deficient. 38
A study of 71 HIV-positive children noted a high rate of iron deficiency. 34 One observational study of 296 men with HIV infection linked high intake of iron to a decreased risk of AIDS 6 years later. 35
Individuals taking drugs in the ACE inhibitor family frequently develop a dry cough as a side effect. One study suggests that iron supplementation can alleviate this symptom. 50 (However, iron can interfere with ACE inhibitor absorption, so it should be taken at a different time of day.)
Pregnant women commonly develop iron deficiency anemia. Iron supplements, however, can be hard on the stomach, thereby aggravating morning sickness . One study found evidence that a fairly low supplemental dose of iron—20 mg daily—is very nearly as effective for treating anemia of pregnancy as 40 mg or even 80 mg daily and is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects. 64
Iron has been suggested as a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder , but there is only preliminary evidence that it may effective in hyperactive children with low iron levels as indicated by ferritin levels. 66
Preliminary studies have linked low iron levels to restless legs syndrome . 30-32 However, a small double-blind study found no benefit when iron supplements were given to healthy people (eg, those who were not iron deficient) 33
One study tested whether supplemental iron could increase rate of saliva flow, but it failed to find benefit. 62
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 42 non-anemic women with evidence of slightly low iron reserves found that iron supplements significantly enhanced sports performance . 36 Participants were put on a daily aerobic training program for the latter 4 weeks of this 6-week trial. At the end of the trial, those receiving iron showed significantly greater gains in speed and endurance as compared to those given placebo.
In addition, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 40 non-anemic elite athletes with mildly low iron stores found that 12 weeks of iron supplementation enhanced aerobic performance. 37
Benefits with iron supplementation were observed in other double-blind trials as well also involving mild low iron stores. 51,52 However, other studies failed to find significant improvements, 53-55 suggesting that the benefits of iron supplements for non-anemic, iron-deficient athletes is small at most.
One small double-blind study found good results using iron supplements to treat heavy menstruation. This study, which was performed in 1964, saw an improvement in 75% of the women who took iron (compared to 32.5% of those who took placebo). Women who began with higher iron levels did not respond to treatment. 38 This suggests once more that supplementing with iron is only a good idea if you are deficient in it.
Iron supplements commonly cause gastrointestinal upset, but, when taken at recommended dosages, serious adverse consequences are unlikely. However, excessive dosages of iron can be toxic—damaging the intestines and liver, and possibly resulting in death. Iron poisoning in children is a surprisingly common problem, so make sure to keep your iron supplements out of their reach.
Mildly excessive levels of iron may be unhealthy for another reason: it acts as an oxidant (the opposite of an antioxidant), perhaps increasing the risk of cancer and heart disease (although this is controversial). 39, 60 Elevated levels of iron may also play a role in brain injury caused by stroke . 40 In addition, excess iron appears to increase complications of pregnancy , 41 and, if breastfed infants who are not iron-deficient are given iron supplements, the effects may be negative rather than positive. 57
One study found that iron does not impair absorption of the drug methotrexate . 61

Decisive Game 5 pits Cole against Waino
After neck-and-neck season, division foes lay it all on line in finale
ST. LOUIS -- The 19 regular-season games between these two National League Central foes began amidst April showers, continued on into a summer series in which the Cardinals knocked the Pirates around a bit, and then moved into September, when the tables turned.
And now St. Louis and Pittsburgh are meeting in a decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series, scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Busch Stadium and on TBS, with companion coverage live on Postseason.TV.
Of course the Cards and Bucs have gone the distance. This series was practically destined to go that far from the moment it started, a tossup just like the regular-season series and the division race that went down to the final week.
These two teams have been duking it out for six months now, delivering wallops to each other on the scoreboard at times, but going toe-to-toe in the standings along the way, always knowing that the other had something else in store and aware that nothing was quite settled between them.
Until now, that is. It's down to one win-or-go-home contest.
"It will be our Game No. 168," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It will also be now the 24th time we've played the Cardinals. We've played them close. It has been a very respectful challenge series."
Indeed, what has emerged is a new rivalry in the NL Central -- new only because the Bucs have elevated themselves to where the Cards have been for years, among the elite teams in the NL. While both teams have had their issues with this year's third wheel in baseball's tightest division race -- the Reds -- the Cardinals and Pirates have something cooking that's closer to friendly than bitter.
Then again, friendly goes out the window a bit in October, doesn't it?
"I'm not sure I'd go 'friendly,' as much as, I think, mutual respect," Cards manager Mike Matheny said. "We respect the talent that they have, the way they go about the game. They fight until the end, just like the kind of baseball we want to play."
This one is going right down to the end. It's a matchup that was tight in terms of wins and losses in the regular season, the Bucs winning 10 of the 19 meetings. And while both sides posted lopsided victories -- 14 of the 19 regular-season games were decided by four runs or more -- they wound up two runs apart: Cardinals 87, Pirates 85.
Those trends continued into the first postseason meeting between two of the original NL clubs, each team winning big in St. Louis before a couple of tight games in Pittsburgh resulted in one win for each.
So through 23 games, the Bucs have 12 wins and the Cards have 11. On the scoreboard, including this NLDS, it's St. Louis 102, Pittsburgh 99.
More important than all of that, it's 2-2 with one more to play.
As Game 5 approaches, familiarity might not have bred contempt, but it certainly has created the potential for a chess match, both sides knowing plenty about the other, especially having spent the past week playing on the same October playground together.
Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright, who has been through many a postseason battle over the last seven years since he arrived on the scene in 2006, understandably plays it close to his chest this time of year, not wanting to tip off the Pirates to any adjustments he might have in store for them on Wednesday.
"Well, listening to Andrew McCutchen talk, he said they're going to be ready for me, so I'll make sure I'm ready for them, too," Wainwright said Tuesday. "You know, I'm going to go out there and not try to do too much. I will have a good game plan, I'll be very prepared, and if they make me get off of that game plan, then I'll adjust in the game."
Wainwright's teammates, meanwhile, will have to make an adjustment to Gerrit Cole, the Bucs' rookie starter who turned in a dominant performance in Game 2 at Busch Stadium. In a series with so much familiarity, that was the first time the Cardinals had seen the 2011 No. 1 overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft, and the Cards' hitters are now a little more educated about facing the young right-hander.
"It helps," said Matt Holliday. "Obviously, he's got that kind of stuff, so it doesn't necessarily make it easy. But at least you've seen his pitches. At least we've had some at-bats off him now. You know what his fastball looks like. You know what his slider looks like."
Cole might be a rookie, but he knows that baseball is a game of adjustments on both sides of the ball.
"They have seen me now a few days ago, but at the same time, I've seen them," he said. "So it's just going to come down to executing a handful of pitches, and, you know, being able to hit the spot or execute the pitch when I need to."
This Cardinals team has a history of success in elimination games, especially in St. Louis, although Monday's win in Pittsburgh certainly qualifies, too.
This Pirates team staved off the ghosts of the previous two Septembers to reach the postseason for the first time since 1992, then took the NL Wild Card Game against the Reds and flipped this series on its ear with a Game 2 victory at Busch Stadium.
It's Game 5. Something has to give.
"The game is going to be out there for somebody to win it," Hurdle said. "You've got to make plays. You've got to execute pitches. You've got to have quality at bats. And every once in a while, something completely apart from that could happen. You don't know whether it [could] be a rundown.
"That's what makes it so exciting, I believe."
Cardinals: Holliday breaks out
For once, it wasn't Carlos Beltran delivering the fireworks from the plate for the Cards in Game 4. It was the only other veteran in the lineup -- Holliday.
Holliday's two-run homer proved to be the difference in the game that sent the series back to St. Louis, as he sent a shot deep to center field after the Pirates walked Beltran for the second straight time. Whether or not they were pitching around the postseason star to get to him, Holliday didn't know, and didn't really care.
"I don't take that personally or anything," Holliday said. "I'm glad Carlos was on base."
For Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak, it was a moment for one of his few veteran position players to come through and get his due.
"I've always thought he's one of the more talented hitters in the game," Mozeliak said of Holliday. "To see how consistent he's performed over the years, we're ... grateful to have him. To see him do something like this today, it's special, and he's deserving."
Pirates: Struggles at top continue
All year long, Starling Marte and Neil Walker set the table for the rest of the Bucs' lineup. But so far in this series, they've been unable to get anything going.
Marte went 0-for-4 in Game 4 and is now 1-for-15 in the series. Walker drew a base on balls in the ninth before being stranded with the final out, and he stands at 0-for-16 in the series.
"We would like to get a little better action up top," Hurdle said. "These guys are trying, they're working. The pitching has been challenging for them. They're gaining valuable playoff experience. ... We've just got to keep grinding -- they have to get in there and keep trying. Both are capable."
Worth noting
• Pedro Alvarez became the first Pirates hitter to record an RBI in his first five postseason games with his solo homer in Game 4.
• The Cards hit a homer in each of the two NLDS games in Pittsburgh after hitting zero there in 10 regular-season games.
• St. Louis is now 28-14 in Division Series games. The Cardinals have won eight of the 10 Division Series they have played.
• The Bucs are seeking their first postseason series victory since the 1979 World Series, having lost in the NLCS three times from 1990-92.

"Time flies" is an expression I seem to be using a lot lately, but it couldn't be truer. In what seems like the blink of an eye, I've gone from nearing the end of my photography course to suddenly being back at my parents' house for the summer, among other things.
The thing is, life doesn't wait–it keeps on going whether you're ready or not. Gone are the care-free days of summer vacations filled pool parties, immeasurable amounts of frozen treats and sleeping past noon. At 19 years old, with 6 weeks before my departure for Toronto, I am finally realizing the true meaning of maturity, the essence of youth and the value of time–that it's not how much you have left, but how you spend it and with whom.
Ha, I sound like a terminally ill patient with mere months to live, but that's how I've been looking at things lately. With every day passing quicker than the last, I've been a bit preoccupied with living in the moment, hence why blogging has been put on the back burner lately. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes things in life are almost too beautiful to put into words, flit by too quickly to be captured by a lens, and are better off as memories…
Anyways, I'll leave you with some Frank Ocean, who is my sister's newest musical obsession and an overall genius.

And how complete driver rewrite correlate to stable kernel interfaces? Driver seriously is independent piece of software which strongly relying on some services provided by kernel, e.g. pci bus support, memory management, etc.
Are you saying that driver rewrite would become any simpler just because kernel interfaces have been changed and now developers need to figure out the new way, to do something that have been already working. Yeah, right.
When the driver changes sometimes their interfaces change. It happens. And I'm not relating to simplicity of anything. You said they should stop changing the interfaces and just worry about writing a better driver. I just pointed out that sometimes TO write a better driver you have to change some interfaces.
Let's have a 5 year old argument, the result of which was the inclusion of GPU drivers into the kernel.
We've been here before.
One thing you "Stable Kernel API" people don't get is this: The API does not just arbitrarily change for the hell of it. If/When it changes it's changing because the change makes things work better / have a better design, It's not like they're going "Mwahahahaha what can we do to break the drivers this week?", and the only way a stable kernel driver API is even semi-sane for drivers is if you're operating off of a Microkernel because then there shouldn't be enough in kernel changes for it to matter once it's at it's "fully-developed" state, because everything is out in userspace. Even Microsoft is only somewhat staying stable, trying to run an XP driver on Vista/7 (as in a pre-vista driver) is going to be hit or miss due to kernel changes, and WDDM was a driver API break and redesign, and was part of what screwed up the Vista launch.
Furthermore just look at Xorg for just why stable apis don't really belong in monolithic designs, part of the entire reason it's so crappy is that it's got a Stable API that they can't touch and thus they've been forced to write extensions to get around the problem (I.E. they have to work around the issues of the X.org protocol). Does this really sound like something that should be happening with the kernel as well? Even Qt which insures ABI and API compatibility over major versions and is modularly designed does breaks which cause the creation of a new major version. Which means even something like it doesn't really have a stable API but a versioned API, which is the only thing you might have an argument for but that falls through due to the monolithic design of the kernel.

Actually X's way of depreciating interfaces is even nicer.... accidentally, quietly, break an interface / API. Someone comes along years later, notices that its been broken for years and no one noticed. The assumption is "Well no ones complained so I guess no one uses that anymore" Then they vocally and deliberately remove that interface/API and that chunk of code is gone lol
Making the in-kernel interfaces backwards compatible would itself add a lot of extra work onto the developers, because they'd have to keep building compatibility interfaces on top of every change they made. Check out win32 if you think that wouldn't add up.
But you keep on #TiltingAtWindmills
1) Github ot other git repo for code upload with hooks for compilation with various configurations. (Did you know that mesa 9.0 wont compile with comands from radeonBuildHowTo? I know. I was told that on IRC after 4h of traying )
2) PTS + some defined collection of apps (open source so you can be sure that "testing" code is in fact bug free), for performance testing.
3) Piglit for any regressions in OpenGL that can be detected that way.
4) PTS + games + automated screen shot + diff for images and warnings for too much difference between reference image (taken on Catalyst drivers..), and currently obtained.
5) Whatever you can get for testing delays between following frames.
6) Restoration of "clean" configuration on multiple failed boots.
Everyghtin of above compared to reference (either last stable mesa+kernel+server, or Catalyst, which is better for you).
Oh, and Server that would manage automatic restart of hw/ queuing test request from various developers, and replicating test runs on different hw configurations, as well as managing reporting.

Bill Murray provides a career-topping performance as President Franklin D. Roosevelt in this captivating, winningly acted comedy-drama that pulls back the curtain on FDR's complicated domestic arrangement
Bill Murray provides a career-topping performance as President Franklin D. Roosevelt in this captivating, winningly acted comedy-drama that pulls back the curtain on the complicated domestic arrangements at FDR's beautiful New York country estate. Told from the perspective of Roosevelt's neighbor and intimate Margaret "Daisy" Suckley (Laura Linney), a member of the president's inner circle of women, Hyde Park on Hudson revolves around the royal visit of King George VI (yes, him again!) to the United States on the eve of World War II. In a film both buoyantly comic and inescapably serious, screenwriter Richard Nelson and director Roger Michell (Persuasion, Venus) subtly examine the tricky dynamics of the chief executive's relationships with his wife, mother and devoted female staff while also taking stock of his ego, shrewd manipulations and consummate ability to win people's favor and confidence—most notably in the case of the insecure young king. It's an entrancing peek at a time when the personal secrets of our leaders were well and truly kept. (USA/UK, 2012, 95 min., color, 35mm, rated R – Director: Roger Michell – Writer: Richard Nelson – Cast: Bill Murray, Laura Linney, Olivia Williams, Eleanor Bron – 2012 New York Film Festival – 2012 Toronto Film Festival)
"Bill Murray as FDR? It takes a few minutes to get used to, but once he settles into the role of the 32nd president, the idiosyncratic comic actor does a wonderfully jaunty job of it …" – ToddMcCarthy, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

5 Long-Term Trends Working Against The Democratic Party
There tends to be a rough parity between parties in the American political system. That's because both parties shift in response to changing conditions. They go after new groups of constituents, positions on the issues change, and the only rule at the end of the day tends to be that he who can deliver the votes, makes the rules. For example, black Republicans used to vote heavily for the Republican Party and it was the Democrats, not the Republicans, who used to be the biggest advocates of tax cuts.
The biggest change in the political landscape over the next few decades is likely to be America's shift to a majority minority population by 2050. This is a change that appears to benefit the Democratic Party since black Americans currently vote for them by a 9-to-1 clip and Hispanic Americans vote for them 2-to-1. The Republican Party will, of course, adjust to the situation and find ways to bring in more minority voters because it will have no other choice. However, there are other coming trends that don't bode as well for the Democratic Party.
1) The fragmentation of the national media: At one point, the Left had an almost total lock on the media. People watched one of the big 3 liberal networks, they read a liberal newspaper, and they had few other options to find out what was going on in the world. That has changed dramatically in the last few decades. The big three networks? They've lost 55.5% of their audience since 1980. Liberal newspapers? They're dinosaurs that are slowly but surely sliding towards extinction in their current form. Staffs are being laid off across the country and The New York Times, which is the most prestigious paper in America, is 1.1 billion dollars in debt and fading. The further the liberal press falls, the more room there is for the web and talk radio to move into the gap and provide Americans with an alternate viewpoint that's friendlier to conservatism, capitalism, and Christianity.
2) They're aborting themselves into oblivion: Controversially, the book Freakonomics tied abortion to the reduced crime rate we've seen over the last few decades. James Taranto has also pointed out that abortion may be playing a bigger role in politics than we realize.
"It is a statement of fact, not a moral judgment, to observe that every pregnancy aborted today results in one fewer eligible voter 18 years from now. More than 40 million legal abortions have occurred in the United States since 1973, and these are not randomly distributed across the population. Black women, for example, have a higher abortion ratio (percentage of pregnancies aborted) than Hispanic women, whose abortion ratio in turn is higher than that of non-Hispanic whites. Since blacks vote Democratic in far greater proportions than Hispanics, and whites are more Republican than Hispanics or blacks, ethnic disparities in abortion ratios would be sufficient to give the GOP a significant boost–surely enough to account for George W. Bush's razor-thin Florida victory in 2000.
..The Roe effect, however, refers specifically to the nexus between the practice of abortion and the politics of abortion. It seems self-evident that pro-choice women are more likely to have abortions than pro-life ones, and common sense suggests that children tend to gravitate toward their parents' values. This would seem to ensure that Americans born after Roe v. Wade have a greater propensity to vote for the pro-life party–that is, Republican–than they otherwise would have."
This shouldn't change anyone's mind about being pro-life. After all, right is right and wrong is wrong. But, is there some validity to this theory? It sure seems like it.
3) America goes broke: The Democratic Party's core message is, "Vote for us and we'll give you somebody else's money." That's how they weld together all the disparate pieces of their base. But as Margaret Thatcher once famously said, "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." Unfortunately for the Democrats, we're at that point. America has lost its AAA credit rating. We have a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit, a 14 trillion dollar debt, and 100 trillion dollars in unfunded Social Security and Medicare liabilities. Even Barack Obama, who's the most wasteful spender in human history, admits that this level of spending is "unsustainable." What this means is that there is going to be much less taxpayer money for the Democrats to dole out to their constituencies in the coming years. If the Democrats can't continue to buy those votes with your money, their base will start to splinter.
4) Population shifts caused by liberal policies: The more liberal an area gets, the more non-functional it becomes, and the more people and businesses eventually flee. It's a long, slow process, but it's very real. You can see it in cities like Detroit, which lost 25% of its population in the last decade. You can also see it state-wide in the electoral college where states carried by Obama will lose 6 electoral votes because of the latest census numbers.
5) The fall of unions: Unions are in deep decline. In 1981, 25 percent of all workers belonged to a union. That's down to 12.4% today. Those numbers are likely to continue to decrease because unions make businesses that use them much less competitive in the global market place. Because of America's debt at all levels of government, there will also be tremendous downward pressure on public sector unions, which drive up the cost of government. This is a problem for Democrats because unions are their most important backers. They supply them with tremendous amounts of manpower and almost unbelievable amounts of money. In 2010, for example, unions poured 170 million dollars into Democratic re-election efforts. It's almost inevitable that unions will continue to decline and when the unions get sick, it's the Democratic Party that sneezes.

1969 Road Runner Project, Part VII
Written by on July 1, 2000 Secrets To Straightening And Polishing Stainless TrimThey say the Devil's in the details, and no detail makes as big a statement on your car as stainless steel trim. Stainless trim can make or break a car on the show field--even if the car's paint is perfect, the engine bay is detailed and the interior is spotless, dinged and dull stainless will always catch your eye, ensuring that becomes the focal point. Conversely, mirror-perfect trim will make up for other areas of your car that may be lacking. We don't know why it seems that way, but that's the funny thing about details.
Straightening and polishing trim is an art that takes a lot of practice to master (and more than a few ruined pieces). We met George Iverson, of Iverson Automotive, while shopping for someone to handle the trim on the Holley Project Road Runner. John Balow of Muscle Car Restorations, the shop handling the project, sends all his trim to Iverson. George got started in the buffing business several years ago, when he did the trim on one of his project cars. His stainless results were very good, and he started getting some "on the side" business from his buddies' cars, then from their friends, and their friends' friends. Eventually, his word-of-mouth reputation forced him to make "The Decision"--back off of doing what he really enjoyed, or ditch his regular (and very well-paying) job to make a go at it. "My only regret is that I didn't start doing this full time 10 years earlier!" George told us.
Along the way to George's reputation, he's learned the ins and outs of polishing different metals, from stainless and aluminum to custom bronze sculpture done by local artists. In addition to a 10-step trim polishing process he's developed over the years, he's also formulated and patented a unique "finishing" buffing compound called "Iverson's Secret Sauce" that he credits with putting his finished trim "over the top." "There's often a faint white or milky residue left on a piece after the polishing process," George said. "I spent years formulating a compound that would eliminate that final haze." We don't know what's in it, but when he's done with a piece of trim, it literally looks like a mirror. George has also developed a rather time-consuming process to repair and restore pot metal to like-new condition. He showed us a pair of Chrysler 300G taillight assemblies that were incredible. There are pitfalls to polishing your own stainless trim, the first being the proper equipment, and we're not talking strictly hand tools or buffing wheels. For example, the polishing process generates an extreme amount or heat, necessitating thick welder's gloves to protect the hands. George goes through two pairs of gloves a week, at $25 per pair. The cheaper gloves don't last even that long, and in the long run the more expensive gloves are the most cost effective. His double-layered Carhart canvas jeans last about two weeks. George does more polishing in two weeks than most of us will do in our lives, but you can plan on going through the same bill of materials just doing the trim from one car.
The intense heat generated during the buffing process also has two other ramifications. The first is obvious--heat will warp the metal. Long, thin, flat panels such as rocker moldings will warp and distort if they're heated too high for too long. The other difficulty is that stainless steel trim isn't actually pure stainless, it's an alloy, as auto manufacturers usually added iron to the stainless. Stainless and iron have two different melting points, and if the trim is heated past a certain point, the iron can actually melt out of the trim piece, creating what appears to be orange peel on the surface of the stainless. This is even more of a problem with aluminum trim, where too much pressure and rpm will cause black streaks, or "mouse tails," which will have to be sanded out. George has separate buffing motors for stainless and aluminum, with the motors spinning at 3200 rpm for stainless, while the wheels he uses for aluminum are spun at about 1800 rpm.
Straightening and polishing your own trim can be a daunting task, but we got some tips from George that will make your attempts end with better results. For a lot of us, it boils down to economics, both of time and money. If you're only going to do a couple of cars in your life, it's probably better to send the parts out and have them professionally done. If you can see yourself doing several cars, or you're one of those people who likes being able to handle every aspect of a restoration, it makes sense to invest money in equipment and the time to get professional results.

My dome is 12.75 inches high. That is based off the height of a three centered arch with a 42" base, which I strongly believe is how the dome height of neapolitan ovens are determined.
Sorry again, lol. I should have clarified that when I say three centered arch, I mean it to describe an arch with the 3 centers as described in that diagram. This seems to be the classic and standard 3 centered arch in masonry, and when the term is used this is what it is understood to mean. When laid out as described this type of three centered arch will be dependent only on the base width and the resulting height will be very near d/3.4 .
...One day while researching arches I came across the following web page:http://chestofbooks.com/architecture/Building-Trades-Pocketbook/Arch.htmlThe arch labeled (m) on that page instantly jumped out on me....
I would make a form out of foamboard or plywood and use it to shape the sand.
I'm thrilled with the result and hope she cooks half as good as I think she looks!

I have around 10 lists, each for a separate project or area of my life.My work lists are prefixed 'wk-' and my personal lists are prefixed 'ps-'I use smart lists a lot to see what I need to do next and end up having very long or statements such as,(location:home or list:.ps-Daily or list:ps-Buy or list:ps-Food or list ps-Gifts or list:ps-Media or list:ps-Someday or list:ps-SuperFit or list:ps-NNForML) Ideally I would like to be able to search for lists via a string e.g. list:contains:''ps-'The lists I have keep changing so its laborious to keep manually updating the search criteria. I could also label every single task with a tag or location but that seems like an unnecessary step as I am using a list to define the task already.Any ideas how to acheive this?
Posted at 4:36pm on October 9, 2012
Hi m_hersee,We don't currently offer a 'listContains' search operator; sorry for the inconvenience.As you mentioned, organizing your work and personal tasks by tag would be the best workaround. Then you could use the tagContains search operator.For what it's worth, this would be the same step in Smart Add, for example:Call Freddy ^tomorrow #ps-Phonewould add to your current list or a tag if you had one.Hope that helps!
Posted 2 years ago
Thanks for your reply.I find it really useful using multiple lists, creating one per project as this makes it easy to follow GTD in RTM. I followed this article here http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008/05/guest-post-advanced-gtd-with-remember-the-milk/ and be using it for years!Could listContains be something for a future update? should be pretty simple to implement I reckon.Thanks againMatt
Hi Matt,We don't have any announcements right now about adding a listContains: search operator, but if you haven't already, you can vote for this idea here to show your support.We'd love to hear any other ideas you have on how this operator should work, too.Thanks!
I like this voting concept, helping you guys at RTM to develop what users want.However, this idea was suggested in October 2008, 4 years ago! How long do we have to vote for new features - many users have left while waiting for them. This is such an easy improvement - couldn't take many hours for your team to fix???While I'm at it (you shouldn't get me started ;-) you should also fix the calendar button on the website (getting a proper calendar when you click ) and also letting users get the key back if they accidentally removed it:
Hi rajjan,Thanks for your feedback. We don't have any announcements about specific features, but I assure you we are listening! :)

Livan Hernandez plays catch on his first day at Nats camp this spring.
VIERA, Fla. — Livan Hernandez has the kind of presence that allows him to walk into any big-league clubhouse and immediately feel right at home, but there may be no clubhouse in the sport that feels more like home to the veteran right-hander than the home digs at Space Coast Stadium.
Hernandez has been coming here for so long, he vividly remembers the facility's early days in the mid-1990s when nothing but cow pastures surrounded the ballpark. The smell wafting over the right-field fence is permanently embedded in his mind.
This is, amazingly, Hernandez's 10th spring training in Viera. The first four came as a member of the Marlins, the original tenants of the facility on the state's east coast (1996-99). Then four more during his first stint with the Expos/Nationals (2003-06). And now he's back for the second camp of his second stint with the Nats, still occupying one of the two extra-large lockers reserved for the team's senior starting pitchers.
Come March 31, Hernandez will find himself in familiar territory as well: Standing on the mound delivering the first pitch of the season for the ninth time in his career, an assignment he relishes.
"It means a lot," he said. "I don't know how many times I've been doing it, maybe eight or nine? It's nice to pitch on the first day of the season, and I enjoy it. I'll try to win."

I thought Bernie looked fantastic, what a hunk, really hot. Seeing the picture of Livo makes you realize that a lot of exercise does have an effect, and looking that ripped does not necessarily come from steroids.
- Theophilus - Feb 17, 2011 at 12:17 AM
For some reason, nobody ever worried about whether David Wells was overweight — until his arm went dead. With Livo, everything is about his motion, and rhythm. His shoulder probably does less work than the shoulders of any other pitcher in the league. (Imagine all those years w/ no major arm injury.) The shoulder just needs to be in the right slot (any of several different angles, depending on Livan's purpose) every time. That's why the knee is critical. If he can push off, the slot will be right, the pitch will be somewhere the hitter has to reach for it, and Livo will have the advantage. People on this list have been saying his performance fell off the end of last year. He was off in August — when arms go dead, lots of younger players are hitting the wall, too — but his performance in September was nearly as good as it was at the beginning of the season.Cross your fingers against injury but otherwise book him for around 11-12 wins.
- JaneB - Feb 17, 2011 at 12:23 AM
I just love him. Thanks for this!
- Anonymous - Feb 17, 2011 at 1:08 AM
Not so pumped about another Livo Opening Day start — it is a real sign of the club's biggest failure. Job One was to land some front line pitching, they got none. The club is much improved, but Livo is not an Ace, he's nothing close to an Ace at this point. Glad to have him, I see his value, I think he'll pitch well, but he is not a Number 1 starter in the bigs.Rizzo still has some time to land something shinier, and he has loads of cash laying around to take on a bad contract. If the Nats can get someone to unseat Livo as the Opening Day guy, then the club has a chance, if not, the Nats are DOA in the NL East.

I think it's safe to say Rizzo won't find an opening day quality starter between now and March 31.
- Mark Zuckerman - Feb 17, 2011 at 1:15 AM
There are 2 big lockers on the pitcher's side of the clubhouse. Livan and Marquis have those.Then there are 8 big lockers on the hitter's side of the room. Those, if I remember correctly, go to: Zimmerman, Werth, LaRoche, Pudge, Desmond, Morgan, Hairston and Ankiel.
- Theophilus - Feb 17, 2011 at 1:41 AM
There will be a vacancy on the hitters' side soon. (He said, hopefully.) Shall we have a pool on who gets it?
- Knoxville Nat - Feb 17, 2011 at 2:18 AM
Mark,Who determines "ownership" of a big locker on the hitter's side of the room?
- Mark Zuckerman - Feb 17, 2011 at 2:51 AM
Mike Wallace, the clubhouse manager, decides all locker locations. Generally, the bigger ones go to the veterans and guys making more money. But sometimes there are special requests from a couple of players who want to be side-by-side.
- Les in NC - Feb 17, 2011 at 3:50 AM
speaking of lockers, where is Harper? Or rather, who are his lockermates?
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 17, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Theophilus…..the only concern about Livo's weight is the effect it has on his knees. Last year was the first in a long time that he did not complain about the pain in his knees and that could be directly related to his playing weight last season.
- Mark Zuckerman - Feb 17, 2011 at 1:41 PM
If anyone has been having trouble this morning posting comments, my apologies. There appear to have been some technical glitches. But I think they've been worked out now.

Mark: How does Desmond rate a large locker? Is it by draft year because that is the only way he has as much seniority as Hairston and Ankiel. Otherwise, he does not deserve such a locker!

Cumdaddy is a term used for someone who likes Cum being sprayed into their face daily. They must be obsessed with cum and need to receive a cumshot to the face everyday. They are the type of person who will make a girl sleep on a chair instead of in their own bed if the situation occurs and they will call their boyfriend over immedietly after the girl falls asleep. CumDaddy is an expression that ONLY Homosexuals may acquire.
For Example, Dan Gillard is a cumdaddy because he enjoys long walks on the beach, because he loves to see how many times he can get sprayed into the face before the beach ends.

Good cool weather glove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These gloves are an excellent buy. I wear them with propylene liners that keep you warm in the 30's and 40's which is as cold as it gets early in the winter a.m. here in the Phoenix area.
No wind protection.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Just used these gloves on a 50-55 degree morning ride for 4 hours. These gloves have no padding and you feel its absence after 2 hours. These gloves have no wind protection and overall they are only marginally warmer than my typical riding gloves. The fluoro color is great but, as cycling gloves, they don't have much more to offer. They would make good running gloves but I already have a pair of those, so I am planning on returning them.
Rick Osborn
Nice nice nice
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are probably my favorite apparel. They seem light lightweight. For some reason they are super warm.
Mike Newberry
Deceptively Warm and BRIGHT!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought these gloves for an upcoming CX race to see how they'd perform. I wore them on a 1 hr ride in moderate temps (55 deg). First off, the fit is great. I bought a size small and the gloves fit...well, like a glove. The fingers aren't bulky and are just the perfect length on all four fingers/thumb. Secondly, the material is minimal for the warmth provided....still am shaking my head about it. Third, Fluoro....fluoro is the new black. Very visible...visible is good.

Is there a stream of this talk available?
So how exactly is WINE being emulated on an ARM platform?
Are they making QEMU integration official or are they using something different?
Is there a stream of this talk available?
They are just implementing the Win32 API, they are not implementing processor emulation.
You will still not be able to run Windows applications compiled on x86.
You will only be able to run Windows applications compiled for ARM.
Atm, there are pretty much no such applications.
And Windows RT can't even run Windows applications, only Metro apps.
No computers use Windows 8 ARM, only tablets do.
So Wine on ARM is pretty much useless.
Yeah, Michael completely left out the most important part.
Is WINE suddenly going to be an emulator so it can run x86 code on ARM? Are they just porting winelib, so that windows developers can recompile their code for WINE on ARM? Is it just meant for Win8 ARM apps?
There could have been two levels of emulation going on during the demo... emulating an ARM CPU on the x86 in the laptop to support the Android dev kit, then emulating x86 on the emulated ARM to run x86 Windows apps.
That would have been pretty cool, but really slow.
I guess the other likely scenario was x86 Windows app over x86 WINE over x86 Android over x86 Linux, where the most likely "emulation" was Android running in a virtual machine over a Linux host with software rendering instead of hardware accelerated graphics.
Michael dropped some pretty strong hints, ie WINE devs hoping for increased adoption of Android on x86 and WINE ARM being covered separately.

It might be useless to end users in its current state, but it's probably a pretty important stepping stone to a lot of stuff that will be interesting to end users.
Way back when, we cheered for those useless builds of Mozilla, even though they crashed all the time, because we knew that they were harbingers of a better future.
Don't forget about "all" thouse apps for Windows NT 3 for arm
Most of you miss the point, that there will be quite alot x86-android devices. Tablets AND Phones. Google Lenovo-k900 for example.A Windows application running on Android. While Wine is coming to ARM and there's quite a lot of interest there, CodeWeavers is quite interested and hopeful for the success of Intel x86 Atom CPUs for tablets. If Android gains traction on x86-based tablets and other mobile devices, CodeWeavers has a lot of commercial opportunities for pushing the running of Windows software on Android. Of course, there's ARM devices too, the Wine ARM update will be shared in another Phoronix article.
Intel did their homework. New Atom generation is AS or even MORE efficient than current arm CPUs. And that's for the 32nm Atom. Don't forget about the 22nm tri-gate atoms coming up.
read : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...rm,3387-5.htmlThe claim that x86 ISA suffers an inherent efficiency disadvantage to ARM does not hold true when you break down the power consumption of currently-available platforms sporting both architectures. They finish neck and neck in most cases. And, when it comes to Microsoft's Surface compared to Acer's W510, the Atom-powered tablet consistently edges out Nvidia's Tegra 3.
So no need for qemu on those devices. All you have to emulate is the environment wine needs. Android doesnt use x-sever while wine heavily relies on it f.e. If there won't be a good wine port i'll just wait for someone to port a full linux-distr (including x) for those devices.

30 December 2014 I received the Spa Elite Foot Spa with heat for Christmas and just used it. It was the last one in the store and we should have opened the package. There was no registration card or instruction sheet. The cord had been unwrapped. I sprayed it with Lysol. I can not recommend this spa to anyone. The "jets" were nothing! nothing! I heated the water but it did not keep the water hot and I think it leaked. I could visit the nail salon for a "real" spa treatment two times plus tip for the cost.

My feet never felt as good. And I could also feel the massager on my whole leg which helped me immensley. I have a very bad back and the sciatic nerve in both of my legs also cause me daily pain. And I think I have finally found sometning that calms down the nerve pain in the legs. Can't wait to go back to the doctor to tell him. I'm sure he will be as surprised as me.
Excellent purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Overall - -Barb

The vibration setting is very comforting, and the blue LED light does create a more relaxing atmosphere. However, I was hoping that the jets were more powerful - It's hard to tell that the jets are even on when using this product, it is more like just a stream of water, kind of disappointing. Overall, this product does sooth your feet after a long hard day.

As a nail tech I am always looking for something large enough to fit everyone's feet and to maintain the water temperature. I found it! Going to buy another one. Worth every penny

However, in his latter years in Florida and Georgia, he represented himself as having won "Nine State Championships in Six States" which is completely FALSE and a LIE. He won two State titles in 8-Man football, in 1980 and 1990 and the rest of the time he did well but did not win another State Title. The man is a LIAR and the TRUTH is not in him. However, he possesses the ability to fool the faithful and contiues to this day to find stupid people who are all to ready to believe every word he says.

I ordered 2 packs of 3 in Chocolate Velvet and Brick Embroidery. I put them on my ratty old pillows on my beige sofa. It looks like a whole new couch. These pillow covers fit perfectly, are made really well, easy to put on, and make such a difference. Considering most pillow covers are sold singly and for more than this pack of 3, it is a fantastic value. I'm thinking of ordering more so I can switch them out for the seasons.
These covers are well constructed, and the zipper is well hidden. The backing is taupe cotton, not a problem for me with taupe sofas, but for someone else with a dark sofa, not so good. They are pretty average for faux leather, not bad, they look nice--from a distance. They don't look bad but they definitely look faux, unlike some others I have that you really have to look hard to realize they are not leather. I would recommend them if you want the appearance of leather for a very cheap price.
These covers fit my 18" square pillows. The description does not say the design is only on one side. I bought the Black Faux Leather but only one side is. The other side is a linen color material with is not a great match with the loveseat it was bought for. I am ok with only one side being faux leather but both sides should have been Black. I gave it 4 stars because of the fit and quality. I did not send this product back. Would recommend as long as the customer knows about the 2 different colors.
This was an awesome buy! I re-covered some couch throw pillows gave my couch a whole new look for a fraction of the price. I purchased the Puff print which is on an off white cover the pillow is able to be stuffed in and the cover zips, very strong zipper also. The design is only on the front but it is a vinyl print versus a stitch. I love them so much I bought two packs!
I ordered the 3 pack of pillow covers in the camel ostrich color. When I got them they are not what I expected, I thought the covers were made out of a soft material and they were a fake leather. I wanted some softer material they were throw pillows for my bed. Kit L.
I love the pillow covers this was a fantastic buy! I re-covered my throw pillows which gave my couch a whole new look. I love them so much I bought a second pack!
Good fit, tight seams. Havent had them long enough to judge. Would have sent them back if had a choice due to not as "purple" as I was wanting
I am so thankful that I live in a world where you can buy pillow covers instead of all new pillows every time you change the color scheme of your living room!! These are nice! I wish there were more designs to choose from but the blue dots are very pretty!
Ended up returning. Very ugly and cheep fabic!!! Do not buy!
Changing Living Room accessories to blue and white to compliment Asian ceramics. These pillow slips are the kid-proof ones. Also hide pet hair. The print is a small dot-- cornflower blues and pure white. Also good for bedroom. Print is rather contemporary- so I don't look entirely like an old lady. Hahaha

I serve as Director of the Office of Faculty Development (OFD) at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, established in the Office of the President in 2012. The goal of the OFD is to foster the career development of all Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty members and to serve as a resource for recruiting, retaining, and supporting their professional growth. The OFD includes specific initiatives for women (the Program for Women Faculty Affairs, established in 2005 to ensure equal professional development opportunities for women and men faculty), junior faculty, and faculty in our expanding regional networks. The OFD also builds the pipeline for faculty development with student programs.
Since joining the Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty in 1990, my clinical work has been in the Breast Imaging Service of the Department of Radiology, where I served for several years as director of breast imaging research programs. My research has focused on image-guided breast needle biopsies under stereotactic, ultrasound, and MRI guidance, which provide a less invasive and less expensive alternative to surgery for diagnosing breast lesions. My work has been integral to setting standards for breast needle biopsy technique and follow-up, has expedited treatment for women with breast cancer, and has spared surgery for women with benign breast lesions.
My book, I Signed as the Doctor, details my treatment for malignancy at Memorial Sloan Kettering after having been a doctor here for almost 20 years. This experience resembled being in a play in which you know all the lines but you're reading the wrong part. I hope that my dual perspective as both a doctor at a cancer center and a cancer survivor will give insight to those coping with cancer and will help physicians be better doctors. With this aim, I actively support Memorial Sloan Kettering's Integrative Medicine Service, Communication Skills (Comskil) Laboratory, Survivorship Initiative, and Resources for Life After Cancer program.
