Delta Tells Some Feeder Airlines: Rebid for Routes
Delta Air Lines put a portion of its regional carrier flying out for bid Tuesday in an effort to wrestle concessions either from its current feeder airlines or their replacements, and indirectly from their employees.
Delta said the so-called request for proposal, or RFP, covers flying by up to 143 regional jets. Most are part of the fleets of Delta's wholly owned subsidiary, Comair, and independent contractors Chautauqua, Shuttle America and Freedom Airlines.
The contracts would cover about a fifth of Delta's flying done by smaller regional jets, which generally involves feeder routes to its hubs and nonstop routes between smaller destinations. The contracts cover 93 jets with 50 or 70 seats that are currently flying for Delta, and future flying by up to 50 bigger regional jets with 76 seats.
Delta spent $1.3 billion during the first half of this year on contract carrier arrangements, which didn't include Comair's operations.
However, an industry analyst said Delta probably won't see big savings from the move, which seems to be aimed mostly at getting lower costs at Comair.
"They're trying to put some pressure on Comair," said CreditSights analyst Roger King. He said the other regional carriers included in the rebidding effort already have competitive costs and are likely to gain new business from Delta.
Meanwhile, the contracts of two of Delta's biggest regional contractors, Skywest and Atlantic Southeast Airlines, aren't being rebid because they were locked in as part of Delta's sale of ASA to SkyWest last year. The associated contracts were approved by the bankruptcy court.
Under that contract, which extends to 2020, SkyWest and ASA have the right to operate at least 40 percent of Delta's regional carrier flying and 80 percent of such flying out of Delta's Atlanta hub as long as their costs are competitive with other regional airlines.
A Delta executive declined to say how much the airline hopes to save by rebidding most of the flying done by its Delta Connection partners, which is expected to be completed by year-end.
"It's a natural part of Delta's restructuring. Now it's [Delta Connection's] turn," said Joe Kolshak, executive vice president of operations.
He said it's "very premature" to say by how much Delta hopes to cut the cost of its regional jet-flying. "We'll wait and see what's bid," he said, adding that he expects up to a dozen airlines to submit proposals within the 30-day deadline.
However, the head of the Air Line Pilots Association vowed that unions at the various carriers will fight Delta's move, even if it means losing work.
"They hope they can tie labor into underbidding each other," said ALPA President Duane Woerth. "We are going to negotiate together as a group. We are not going to bid against each other."
He said the ALPA units at regional carriers formed a task force late last year to oppose similar efforts by United and US Airways to seek concessions from regional carriers and their unionized work forces. The task force is headed by the chairman of ALPA's unit at Comair.
"The work that's really at risk here is Comair work," said Woerth.
Comair, arguing that its costs are too high compared to the industry, sought almost $30 million in labor cost concessions from its unionized pilots, mechanics and flight attendants. Tentative agreements with the pilots and mechanics could fall apart after Comair got the court's approval to terminate the flight attendants' contract, prompting renewed strike threats and renewed talks.
Woerth also said he plans to block the Comair pilots' concession agreement. "I've told them I won't sign that deal," he said.
Meanwhile, Kolshak said Comair continues to shrink.
Twenty-seven of the regional jets subject to being rebid are Comair jets, he said. The Cincinnati-based carrier's fleet has dropped from 174 jets to 168 since it filed for bankruptcy along with Delta, and is scheduled to lose 30 more jets this fall, separate from whatever happens in the rebidding process, he said.
"If they continue to lose flying, it would not bode well for the long term," he said.

Norman's Slaking was Norman's most powerful Pokémon.
Slaking lived in Norman's greenhouse when it wasn't being used in battle. It's first appearance was in Love, Petalburg Style, where it was used to defeat Team Rocket, sending them blasting off with a devastating Focus Punch.
Slaking's next appearance was in Balance of Power, where it fought against Ash's Grovyle. At first Slaking had the advantage, using speed and strength to counter Grovyle's attacks. Eventually Slaking sent Grovyle flying with a powerful Hyper Beam. Exhausted but determined to keep going, Grovyle picked itself up and activated its Overgrow ability. Thank's to Overgrow, Grovyle's Grass type moves were stronger than before and when the two Pokémon lunged, ready to deliver the final blows with Focus Punch and Leaf Blade, Grovyle hit Slaking first, forcing it to lose focus on its Focus Punch, therefore inflicting minimal damage. However, although Slaking's Focus Punch had failed to be used, the punch itself, but not the power behind it, hit Grovyle causing enough damage to cause the Grass type to wince in pain. Slaking smiled triumphantly but then the pain of Grovyle's Leaf Blade overwhelmed it and it fainted.
Since then Slaking has made a cameo appearance, watching May battle in the Wallace Cup and was also seen in a flashback where Max was grooming it.
Known moves
Move | Episode |
Focus Punch | Love Petalburg Style |
Hyper Beam | Balance of Power |
Earthquake | Balance of Power |
+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.* - indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move. |
- Interestingly, Norman's Slaking does not seem to be hindered by its special ability, Truant. Actually it's never even been implied that it has the ability, despite Truant being the only ability Slaking can use.
- When Grovyle delivered its final blow to Slaking with Leaf Blade, Slakings fist was still glowing, even though the Leaf Blade should have stopped Focus Punch from working. This also happens when Grovyle uses Bullet Seed in Slakings face while it's charging up a Focus Punch.

Customer Reviews
- KP Duty's the Best! Review by PJP, Jamestown, RI USA
Price Value Quality Up until now, Epilyt was the best product I could find in controlling the KP condition on my thighs. But the results were short lived and not thorough enough.Then I tried KP Duty. After just 6 applications (twice daily)you couldn't tell I'd ever had a KP problem! Chicken skin/bumps, etc. were completely gone. Also, the KP Duty product is easier to apply, and not greasy / oily at all. Great stuff!
- Best I've ever tried Review by Omaha, NE
Price Value Quality I have used "KP Duty" for only about ten days, and I am pleasantly surprised at the results I am achieving. I have tried other cremes, even two prescriptions, and never achieved the results I have with "KP". I use a small amount on my upper arms two times a day, and nearly all the red bumps are gone! My skin looks and feels much smoother. No more visits to the dermatologist for my chicken skin!
- The BEST!!!!! Review by DD, Colorado Springs, CO
Price Value Quality This is the best stuff I have ever used and I will never go a day in my life with out using it. I have always had bumps on the backs of my arms and I could never wear anything showing off my arms. But after using KP duty I can wear whatever I want and I am not embarrased of my arms.
- Most Incredible Skin Product Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review by EW, Round Hill, VA
Price Value Quality I have had persistent dry skin and KP bumps on my cheeks for three years. Rx products and many visits to various dermatologists did not help. This product cleared the dry skin and bumps on my cheeks in 3-5 days. I have tried countless products, but reordered the double duty pack of KP in one week. Not only do I use it, but my husband is using it as well and HE loves it too. If you have Rosacea, I must recommend this product for scaly patches on the cheeks, as it has cleared this condition, as well. My skin is soft, smooth and absolutely GLOWS, for the first time in many years. Thank you, DERMADOCTOR for this incredible product. I use the CALM, COOL and CORRECTED 2n1 Rosacea Tx and it is also a REMARKABLE product...worth every penny.
- works on Mom's and Kids Review by Amy, Boston, MA
Price Value Quality I have had KP over most of my body for all of my life. This is the first product that has ever worked. Further, my five year old son also has KP especially on his cheeks--it is gentle enough to use on him and very effective. I LOVE this product!
- Worked right away! Review by Minn USA
Price Value Quality I couldn't believe it! Within three days the bumps on the back of my arms were smoother and the redness was completely gone. I am ordering more today and telling all of my friends abou this awesome product!
- miracle cure!! Review by bm, hannibal, mo
Price Value Quality This is fabulous! My son had severe KP on his arms and cheeks. The perscriptions didn't touch it, but after 3 months of using KP Duty, it's almost completely gone! Thank you so much Derma Dr!
- WOW! Review by km, Canada
Price Value Quality I have tried everything to get rid of the red bumps on the back of my arms, nothing worked.... except this!
- I can't believe it Review by RM, Colorado Springs, CO USA
Price Value Quality You will not believe how awesome this product is. My doctor was even amazed. She told me there were no cures and I would have to live with these disgusting little bumps for the rest of my life. Boy was she wrong. This is THE best thing I've ever seen for KP.
- Great product Review by Michigan
Price Value Quality I have KP on the backs of my thighs and a bit on my arms. I also noticed similar bumps around my breasts after my children were born. I purchased this just last week and everything is smoothing out nicely. I now feel I will be able to wear shorts and tank tops without wondering if my "bumps" are obvious. This product is great!

Why is the Bounce in the kitchen with the wine? Is the explanation coming up in a handy video about how to uncork a wine bottle with a sheet of Bounce? 'Cause I tell you what - I could have used that knowledge in high school.
Open a beer bottle with a sheet of paper
A friend sent me this link, knowing full well I'll never, ever need it (I carry a bottle opener on my keyring in case of such emergencies). But, for those of you not always equipped with beer tools, this is a cheap, simple solution.
It is also worth noting that it's a much safer solution than a: Using your teeth and chipping off the enamel, or b: Slamming your beer on the side of a table and either breaking the table, your bottle or several bones in your hand.
So here we have it. In just 2 minutes you'll forever know a way to impress every single one of your alcoholic friends. I've also posted the latest parody currently doing the rounds. Mucho fun.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION First Brewed: 1896, First Modern Bottling: 1971 Alc. by Volume: 4.9%, Availability: Year-round, Malt: Blend of 2-Row Pale & Caramel, Hops: Northern Brewer Anchor Steam® Beer owes its deep amber color, thick, creamy head, and rich, distinctive flavor to a historic brewing process like none other. It is a process that combines deep respect for craft brewing tradition with many decades of evolution to arrive at a unique approach: a blend of pale and caramel malts, fermentation with lager yeast at warmer ale temperatures in shallow open-air fermenters, and gentle carbonation in our cellars through an all-natural process called kräusening. Anchor Steam® Beer derives its unusual name from the 19th century when steam was a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. While the origin of the name remains shrouded in mystery, it likely relates to the original practice of fermenting the beer on San Franciscos rooftops in a cool climate. In lieu of ice, the foggy night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating steam off the warm open pans. Once a nickname for any Californian or West Coast beer brewed under these conditions, today the name steam is a trademark of Anchor Brewing and applies only to the singular process and taste of our flagship brand - San Franciscos original Anchor Steam® Beer. The classic of American brewing tradition since 1896.

Mr Hogan will meet with local business leaders, members of the diplomatic community and industry partners. He will also host a cocktail event at The Peninsula Manila for more than 250 VIP guests including the United Arab Emirates' Ambassador to the Philippines, His Excellency Moosa Abdulwahid Alkhajah.Mr Hogan said the anniversary celebrations in Manila reflected the growth of Etihad Airways' business in the Philippines and its importance to the airline."From a modest start of four weekly A330-200 flights in 2006, Etihad Airways now operates twice daily services to Manila with a larger Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. That's more than threefold growth in just seven years."Over the same period, we have carried more than 2.3 million passengers with an average seat factor of approximately 86 per cent, making the Philippines route one of the strongest performers in our network."Mr Hogan identified the strengthening Philippines economy – with GDP growth at 7.6 per cent in the first half of this year – as one of the key drivers of this growth."In addition to stimulating overseas business and leisure travel, the health of the Philippines economy is underpinning the growth we are seeing in our freight division – Etihad Cargo."Total trade between the UAE and the Philippines reached US$2.16 billion last year, creating significant opportunities for belly-hold cargo transportation."Mr Hogan's visit to Manila coincided with a charitable program by a team of staff volunteers."As our business has grown in the Philippines, so has our support for the local community. Over the past week, for example, volunteers have donated blankets and clothes to Filipinos who lost their homes and livelihoods in the recent typhoon."This is on top of a program whereby we donate ring-pulls from cans which are made into goods that are then sold to support the Philippine Christian Foundation's work with disadvantaged communities," Mr Hogan said. Etihad Airways' twice daily flights between Manila and Abu Dhabi connect seamlessly to the airline's global flight network. One-stop connections at the airline's modern and efficient Abu Dhabi hub are available to many popular business and leisure destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas.

Feather River College Board and Foundation Discuss Changes for Dorms
Feather Publishing7/28/2010At its regular meeting July 15, the Feather River College Board of Trustees discussed possible changes in the management structure at the Feather River College residence halls.
The Feather River College Foundation operates the residence halls. The trustees understood any changes would require the assent of the college foundation.
A request for funds from the college's forest reserve triggered the discussion to help the foundation meet debt service requirements and resolve cash flow issues. Emergency repairs to the facilities, in part, caused cash flow issues last winter.
Ron Groh, financial consultant to the foundation, responded to questions from trustees, giving a brief update on the status of the roof replacement project at the facilities, financed by a loan from the college. He said the project was going very well and was under budget.
Given the fact the roof project was coming in under budget, trustees determined the emergency allocation to the foundation would be made from those previously allocated funds, rather than providing additional funds from the forest reserves.
The trustees stipulated a $70,000 limit to the allocation and added a further condition for the college president to initiate discussions with the foundation towards a management services agreement, under which the college itself would manage the residence halls.
The trustees' action was reported at the foundation's board meeting July 22, with a motion by the foundation board to move quickly to formulate an agreement that would allow the college to manage the residence halls, pending all necessary approvals.
College president Ron Taylor said he looked forward to starting discussions; he was pleased with progress made on the roof replacement project and with the cooperative spirit between the foundation and the college.
"There is every reason to believe in a bright, solid fiscal future for the residence halls operation."
Foundation board president Kris Miravalle was also upbeat and said, "Letting the college manage the dorms will free the foundation up to concentrate on our primary goals of raising money and creating programs in support of the college."
A working committee will move forward toward a management services agreement. Officials expect more information to be available in the next few weeks.
Community members interested in participating in the community host program may contact Karen Paiva at the college at 283-0202 or Kris Miravalle at the Bank of America, Quincy branch, 283-6600.

The government is investigating allegations against Symplicity Corp. for allegedly accessing without permission the internal networks of two competitors in the education sector. Symplicity, which runs three governmentwide websites, denies any wrongdoing and calls the government's search warrant a one-sided justification for the investigation.

Studies indicate that 30-50% of antibiotics prescribed in hospitals are unnecessary or inappropriate. There is no doubt that overprescribing and misprescribing is contributing to the growing challenges posed by Clostridium difficile and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Studies demonstrate that improving prescribing practices in hospitals can not only help reduce rates of Clostridium difficile infection and antibiotic resistance, but can also improve individual patient outcomes, all while reducing healthcare costs.

I would like to add that X2 and X3 are on special.
And they both have native Linux support.
Edit: This also classifies as evidence in my book. for those still skeptical.
Uh? That will only buy you the Windows versions, or have LGP suddenly infiltrated Steam?
Hrm, I don't know if I'm the only one who thought of this, but here goes: To Linux users, if you download the files from the site that's back online now (http://store.steampowered.com/public...m_client_linux) and then make a steam.cfg in the same directory and add "Universe = http://store.steampowered.com/public/client/steam_client_linux" the client will automatically update itself!
Still getting the "Failed to load steamui.so" that was introduced in the latest version, however. Hrm.
It's possible that they are statically linked. This would require the linkist to pay licensing fees.
I think the links are back up.
http://store.steampowered.com/public...m_client_linux does indeed work again.
In the official Steam forums one user was able to work around all the errors and get the client nearly starting. It worked just like Windows client and downloaded about 25 MB of updates which include Steam files but crashed after it was done. He posted a log of the console, maybe someone can write him a PM how he did that, he said he doesn't feel comfortable with posting it in the public as Valve has already blocked this minutes after his post.

What about fractals?
In stead of considering one 'market' as a homogeneous blob .. isn't it useful to think about the fractal structure of towns, local areas, provinces, countries, each with local specialisations. Is the USA of states, or an EU of countries actually an improvement over one big single market without the competing subdivisions? And also more robust .. as an ecosystem of smaller ecosystems, each slightly different?

The Round Up - Expanded for Web
Written by Kevin Elliott on August 4, 2008 The Best Not-So-Little Car Show In TexasIf there's one show I've wanted to attend for the past few years, yet never quite managed to get to, it's the Lone Star Round Up in Austin, Texas. I'd seen various reports and heard nothing but good things about the show from friends who'd been, and seeing as I lean toward the, ah, more traditional side of things, I was sure I'd make it out to Austin someday.
That someday happened this past April, and I wasn't disappointed. Sure, the event has grown over the past seven years and moved venues a few times, settling at Travis County Expo Center-which is huge enough to host a national event, so I figure the Round Up's safe for a couple more years, at least!-but despite the size of the daytime show, the evening festivities still center on Austin's South Congress Avenue, in, outside, and around the Kontinental Club.
With cruising going on into the early hours, and people just hanging out on the sidewalks or in the numerous bars and restaurants, there's a distinct party atmosphere to this event that's missing at many others. A few blocks west of all this action, South Austin Speed Shop also threw an open house Saturday night, providing live music and yet more action for an already overly packed schedule.
Daytime action at the Expo Center was just as much fun, with a swap meet new for this year, as well as bands playing on the outside stage, a cacklefest with front-engine dragsters and Altereds, and even a minibike race inside the huge barn. But R&C is a car magazine, so we'd best concentrate on them, and what better way to do so than with five pages of pictures from the show?

How is it incompatible with version 3 of the GPL? The content in question isn't software, and Michael would only be doing what the CC license warants: sharing it, with the proper credits.
I agree, but I am not a lawyer. I can't see anything in the cc by-na-sa license that is incompatible with gplv3 since the file is being distributed separately. As long as the work is attributed and a link to the license given, there's no problem.
As you work with Ubuntu you could add a debian dir to create a Debian package. Also how about supporting default search path for the test data outside home. Of course you need temp space but for the rest you could use data packages like pts-universe-data or so, maybe together with depends if needed. Even when you are able to change that locally in a config file there should be a hardcoded way to search in order to prepare it this way. For the compression files I took my best to remove the need of outputfiles, but it seems you like temp very much - every new test you add has em again.
phoronix-test-suite/pts/etc/scripts/package-build-deb.php creates the DEBIAN dir when needed, etc. That resulting package should work on Debian and Ubuntu.
I'm still pondering the best way to handle stuff outside of the home setup at present.
Currently when I am working on scripts myself, I am not worrying about the temp output files at present as most aren't too concerned about disk space and I am just focusing on getting PTS up and running properly and being feature-rich before worrying about test script optimizations, but I do happily accept patches.
The 1.0 release will feature a gui, yes?
I gave up since the 0.2 release since the commands were, well, a bit too confusing.
While not having to cd to the proper folder anymore is really helpful, I find that anything besides pasting the code off the website is just inefficent / hard to figure out.
Just not used to the terminal don't really like it as it's unintuitive and I dislike doing lots of reading to understand something. Buttons/labels are usually a lot easier to figure out, and are very quick to use (just a single click, instead of typing out the proper command again). Also typing "phoronix-test-suite" each time is time consuming.
It looks like it's a great tool, but atm, the missing gui frontend isn't exactly giving a comfortable experience. So I'll be eagerly waiting until there is one.

Actor Lucy Lawless joins Greenpeace New Zealand activists in stopping a Shell-contracted drillship from departing the port of Taranaki for the remote Arctic, where its exploratory oil drilling programme threatens to devastate the Alaskan coastline. Six Greenpeace New Zealand activists, along with Lawless, famous for her roles in 'Xena: Warrior Princess' and 'Spartacus', board the vessel, scaled its 53 metre drilling derrick and are hanging banners from its summit, reading "Stop Shell" and "#SaveTheArctic." They are equipped with survival gear and enough supplies to last for several days. 02/24/2012

Foal Heat Diarrhea
Q. Can you please tell me what foal heat diarrhea is, and what causes it? Some people say it's because of the mare's hormones being transferred in her milk during foal heat, but other people have said that is an old wives' tale.

Has anyone read Clementine by Cherie Priest yet? I just finished Boneshaker and really enjoyed it! I'm excited by her writing, her ideas, and how she is shaping her Clockwork Century. I was just wondering what your impressions were of her next book if anyone has read it. Also, has anyone read her Southern Gothic horror stories? I was also wondering about those.
I've got Clementine, it's a 199 page hardcover, lovingly made by Subpress. I've not read much of it yet, but I like the setting and characters more than Boneshaker, which I really wasn't that keen on.

As Italy's second largest city, and a hub for designers, photographers, and artists, Milan is one of the creative centers of Europe, and for many represents the capital of design and fashion. Milan offers a high-end shopping experience that takes in top Italian designers and world-famous brands. The city has the world's oldest shopping mall, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo, and a wealth of fashion and jewellery shops along Via Montenapoleone, in the Quadrilatero della Moda fashion district.
Romans to Renaissance
Modern Milan may conjure up images of fashion houses and boutiques, but if the urge to shop until you drop should desert you, it's worth remembering that the city's history, which dates back to 400 BC, is all around you. As capital of the Western Roman Empire, a medieval center of trade, and later under periods of French, Austrian, and Spanish control, Milan's history is long and varied and the city sights are a testament to its importance across the centuries.
A guided Milan city tour will take you through the city's key points of historical interest including Castello Sforzesco, a former palatial residence now open to the public as a museum and art gallery, the imposing gothic cathedral Il Duomo, and La Scala theatre. The tour also takes in a viewing of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper', viewable only by appointment and housed in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
While Milan is rich in Renaissance, Gothic, and Baroque works of art (the Brera Art Gallery alone brings together Italian masterpieces from the 14th century to the modern day), this artistic center looks towards the future and contemporary art exhibitions are held in PAC (Padiglione Arte Contemporanea) and CIMAC (Civico Museo Arte Contemporanea).
Eating and drinking
Milan has a profusion of restaurants offering cuisine from all over the world; brunch is big news in Milan and the nightlife in this eclectic city starts early, with hundreds of bars and clubs to suit every taste. The essential Milanese ritual of happy hour is a famously loosely applied term, and between the hours of 6 PM and 9.30 PM most clubs offer drinks, cocktails, and buffet food at reduced prices. The majority of clubs can be found in the Porta Romana, Porta Ticinese, and Navigli regions of the city, but excellent food and drink are never far away. Getting around Milan is easy too, with a public transport system that includes three subway lines, trains, buses, and an extensive network of trams.
Explore Lombardy
Beyond the city itself, the glacial Lake Como, the third largest lake in Italy and one of the deepest in Europe, is celebrated for its beauty and tranquillity. Take a day coach tour of the lake and the historical center of Como, explore the scenery, and visit one of the many silk factories.

A hairdresser came to the rescue of an elderly client in Marblehead after the woman failed to show up for her weekly salon appointment.
The 82-year-old woman was supposed to have a 3 p.m. appointment at Boston Hair Salon last Thursday with stylist Lisa Buswell, who has been seeing the woman at the same time every week for the past seven years, the Salem News reported.
When the woman didn't show up, Buswell called her home several times, but there was no answer. She then called a former neighbor to go check on the woman.
The neighbor saw the woman's car in her driveway, and was able to enter the home through an unlocked door.
He found the woman at the bottom of the stairs. She said she had fallen the day before, and was there for 29 hours, the newspaper reported.
She suffered a fractured leg and hip and broken bones and was taken to Salem Hospital, where she is recovering from surgery.

Hemochromatosis is a condition in which the body builds up too much iron. Two types of hemochromatosis are:
This type is caused by inherited genes and includes juvenile hemochromatosis. These genes cause the stomach and intestines to absorb too much iron. It is the most common genetic disorder in the United States.
This type results from treatments or diseases that cause iron to build up in the body. This may include:
If found, early HH is easily treated. Untreated HH can lead to severe organ damage. Excess iron builds up in the cells of the liver, heart, pancreas, joints, and pituitary gland. This leads to diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and joint disease.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
HH is caused by a genetic defect. It is passed down through autosomal recessive inheritance. This means a child who inherits 2 genes, 1 from each parent, is very likely to develop HH. However, not all people who have 2 copies of the gene develop signs and symptoms of HH.
Hemochromatosis usually present in men between 30-50 years old and in women over 50 years old (postmenopausal). Factors that increase your chance for developing HH include:
Many people have no symptoms when they are diagnosed. However, when they occur, symptoms may include:
Complications may include:
If the disease is not treated early, iron may build up in body tissues. This may eventually lead to serious problems such as:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests, including genetic testing.
Tests may be done to examine your liver. This can be done with a liver biopsy.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Treatment is simple, inexpensive, and safe.
The first step is to rid the body of excess iron. The process is called phlebotomy. This means removing blood. The schedule will depend on how severe the iron overload is. A pint of blood will be taken once or twice a week for several months to a year. It may last longer. When iron levels return to normal, maintenance therapy is given. A pint of blood is given every 2 to 4 months for life. Some people may need it more often. Female patients may need to increase their schedule after menopause.
Lifestyle changes include steps to reduce the amount of iron you consume and/or absorb, and to help protect your liver:
You may need to be treated for other conditions that have developed. Hemochromatosis can cause these to develop:
Screening for hemochromatosis is not a routine part of medical care. Researchers and public health officials do have some suggestions:
A genetic counselor can help you review your family history, determine your specific risks, and review the appropriate testing.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
These gloves consist of a stretchy spandex type material on the backs and synthetic leather / suede palms and thumbs. There is no velcro strap to release them so you have to just stretch them on and off. This makes the gloves a little difficult to remove after a ride. According to the size chart, my hands were on the small side of 'medium' but I wish I'd gotten a large.
Aside from the sizing issue though, I do believe that these gloves leave me with less hand numbness than others I have tried from Pearl Izumi and Giro, which was the main thing I was after. Also the acid green color is nice and visible for hand signals.
size problem
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Seems to be a good value however the medium size is very small.
I am 150lb smaller sized male and the gloves barely fit. If you are similar sized I would suggest you order a large.

If you want to be a good developer, but start developing at the age of 26, is there any way to became a good programmer ?
closed as not a real question by Matthieu, gnat, Eric Wilson, Walter, kevin cline Feb 3 '12 at 23:19It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. |
It all depends on how interested you are in programming and learning new technology. Programming isn't the same as "playing piano".EDIT: Some stuff you can't get good enough at, if you haven't started early in life. Music is one of those. "good" is a vague word, it's up to you how you define "good". |
If you want to be really good at something, put ten thousand hours or so of study and practice in. That's about five years of full-time application. Obviously, if you start at 26 and put in two thousand hours a year you'll be 31 by the time you've put your ten thousand hours in, but you do have to ask yourself how old you'll be in five years if you don't learn to program. |
50 years ago, all the programmers started when they were 26 or older. Well, some may have started a bit earlier, but none when they were children. I'm sure some of them were good developers, because they built the foundations that we use. |
I firmly believe that you are never too old for anything, but would still like to provide a real life case which contradicts this belief of mine. Contrary to conceptual answers ("yes you can") most people provided here, I have had real life experience with some people who started developing software at age of 25+ and I mean real beginners, people who never studied computer architecture and programming in the past. Never wrote a line of assembly or C, they basically started off with Java and C# as the somewhat easier way of jumping the programming wagon. As far as I remember none of them got past the cargo cult phase, not to mention learning about design patterns or understanding how VM did garbage collection. Their code was impossible to refactor because they often did not know how they got where they got (see cargo cult phase). Advanced language elements like events and threads remained a deep mystery for these guys. And somehow they lacked technical competence to learn things themselves. I remember they were constantly being schooled by the company. Eventually, two of them dropped the programming career after two years and another one had been struggling to this day. Note : This I did not write to discourage you. I still think this had more to do with these guys' personal traits rather than being a general case. If you can put all your efforts into it and work really hard, and constantly educate yourself (by writing actual code to solve problems), you can definitely make great progress. |
I'm 31. Just got my degree this year in Computer Science/programming. All it means is that the co-workers that are the same age as me have 10'ish years of experience while I'm months in. Not everyone is blessed with choosing the right profession in the first try (or second... or third). Some people don't get started "right away". I'm one of those. Does that leave me at a disadvantage? Of course not. I'm eager, willing and able to learn everything some 18 year old is. It just means I don't have years of experience and I'm starting from scratch. Hell... not even from scratch since I have 10 years of experience to pull from still. Even tho it's not programming, there are bits and pieces that still fit in. |
It isn't all that important how late one starts to learn to program (maybe 90 might be stretching it, but...). I've known people who started with CompSci in college at age 19 or 20 and couldn't program their way out of a wet paper bag at graduation. On the other hand, I didn't get started until a couple of years after I left the Army. I was 36 when I got my Computer Programming Associates Degree. Been coding for 24 years now. From mainframe COBOL to .NET C# (and a few others in between). Maybe I'm an exception that proves the rule, but I've known others with similar careers. A somewhat related question (too old to code?) on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/972611/old-developers-any-future |
@cyberherbalist, I'm with you! I started to learn programming when I was about 24, on a Timex Sinclair 1000 computer... fantastic piece of technology! It had 2 kB of RAM (I also bought the 32K expansion module) and it executed BASIC code from audio cassettes -- those were the glory days. The TS-1000 was contemporary to the Commodore 64, for those of you who remember it, but much cheaper. I'm 52 now. My programming experience is almost all in writing web software, mostly with PHP and Coldfusion. I am not a programmer by profession, nor an amateur; I take on programming jobs from time to time. I worked for many years as a university systems analyst, and did a lot of web application development. My first and only formal training in programming: a 1st year university course in procedural WatBASIC, which I took in 1985. I count myself a competent, even highly competent developer, in the appropriate context, but I also know there are lots of (often younger) people whose understanding of programming language goes far more deeply than mine. I don't have their formal training. The qualities that make you a good programmer... most people don't realize that they often have nothing to do with the technology itself. To be good developers/coders, we need a logical bent, but we need to be empathic as well, able to imagine others' experience in using our work. We need to understand the importance of methodology. We need to be highly systematic, but also creative and innovative, able to imagine a sort of virtual machinery and describe it with meticulous precision in languages spoken by machines. I've started a hobby programming project in PHP -- I'm writing a wiki. I've picked up CodeIgniter 2.0, an MVC app framework, because I wanted to learn a new one for PHP and CodeIgniter seems to be popular. It's certainly easy to use. I have no training in OO, because when I started, OO hardly existed -- I'm working to make the transition. As I get older I ask myself, can I keep learning? is my brain still malleable? and the answer that always comes back is, sure, just keep it exercised. I know that much of what makes me a good programmer is aptitude: how I think, the way my mind works. Keeping up skills... that can be wearing after a while -- I think I've forgotten more about computers than I know. However, the skills that make me a good programmer don't change. If you love it and it's what you want to do, if you can find a way to be doing it, that's all you need. |
I'm 35 now, but I started at 25. I'm fairly sure I've done my requisite 10,000 hours by now. It's just a matter of being determined. For me it was easy, because I didn't have anything to fall back on; it was succeed at this, or work at unskilled labor. So I studied every evening (easier then, as I didn't have children yet). And at every job, wherever there was the opportunity to bring in programming, I did. I used VBA in jobs that just required basic Access database design. I used .NET in jobs that just required VBA. I worked a plethora of contract jobs, but this worked in my favor as I got varied experiences. After four years of programming in rather crappy jobs, I managed to get a job that paid well enough for us to make it on one income (just in time for our first kid to arrive), and things have only gotten better since then. So all in all, ten years on, I'm happy with the outcome of starting to program at age 25. |
I started at 36, and it's working out pretty well. There is this myth that to be a good programmer you have to have been the kid that was hacking his school's computer system in seventh grade. In reality, things like perseverence and humility are of great value. If you have these, can think logically and pay attention to detail, you can be a great programmer. |
I started at 27. I'm now closing on 40 and very few people would consider me to be a slouch. I've found that for most folks, they either have the right mentality or don't for becoming good programmers. Education is needed at some point or you'll never graduate beyond script kiddie, but I found having practical experience helped a lot when it came time to get the "Right" piece of paper in my early 30s. As I've said before here, knowing how to write code meant I got a lot more out of my classes than if I was struggling with the concept of a for loop or what the heck the difference between ++i and i++ was. However, I have a "hard science" degree, worked in construction in my early 20s, and generally approach programming as a craft. Thus, it's a different discipline for me, but leveraging many of the same neurons. Your desire to be excellent at what you do, how much natural brain power, problem solving, and ability to think abstractly you have will drive how well you become more than how late you start in life. But... do not undersestimate the need to get some solid theoretical background under your belt. Folks who forget or don't know the basic rule of thumbs you get such as looking at things using Big O analysis often run into trouble. Not having an idea of formal language definition will leave you stumped when looking at many technical references. As a parting comment: sometime around when I was 23-24 I looked at many of the folks I knew who were retired. The ones who had had successful careers often seemed to not have gotten started in those careers until their mid-late 20s. Saying your stuck in a career path when you're 26 would be pathetic. If you get out of university at 21, retire at 65, that leaves a roughly 44 year working career. Starting at 26 if you otherwise have the right sort of talents isn't really that much of a late start, esp when it seems most programmers shift gears into management or "architecture" or other path somewhere in the 10-15 year range. |
Your mental capacity does decline with age. I tried to teach my 70 year old Grandma how to program in Basic on an 8-bit computer. She never got past CLS, PRINT and using the VOICE-FA00 speech synthesizer (she had the computer recite her poems). She passed away before we got to conditional and loop statements. |
Well, if you want it bad enough, then yes. But do remember your brain is at its peak when you are about 17, and the structures that are built with programming have to go in long before that. Research I read long ago indicated that programming when young added something like 20 to IQ scores in the medium term, rather like learning music does, similar areas of the brain awakened. Providing you developed your brain the right way when young, mathematically, logically and, most importantly, in terms of problem solving/engineering skills; then it is still possible. Those skills can come in via a lot of routes when young, but they do need to be there, as well as a natural aptitude. Good engineers are born to it, teachers too. Something in the initial blueprint that provides the required skill set. You can teach knowledge, you can teach techniques, you can't teach intellect; particularly the analytical intellect of the engineer. So what I am saying is, if you have the underlying skill set and aptitude, then sure, it'll be harder than if you were young, but sure. If not, any amount of cramming will not help. |
I've started a CS & AI course, the course I've been dreaming about for years, at the age of 26 and I have not been doing much programming before that. The way I looked at programming back then was that programming is just a mathematics in disguise.It's a strong statement, but you will see that you can't go far without linear algebra or statistics. Knowing them will not make you a good programmer, but not knowing them will definitely make you miserable one. My advice to you would be learn about:
These three will lay down fundamentals on which you build everything else. Good Luck. |
Well, I am 24 and I want to be Java programmer so badly. Not only programmer, but a great one. I have a couple of years of experience in C++ but I don't like it much though. The only thing I have learnt during my lifetime is all you need is a desire, a craving for it and presence of the guts to do what is necessary. Do whatever it takes and the fortune will smile upon you. Age is of no importance. Gosh, I know a woman who moved to the USA and she had never uttered an english word before. After a year she started teaching at a university. The will is everything! Believe in yourself and remember a thousand miles road starts from the first step. Keep your chin up and never give up, mate. |
For being a good programmer, you have to learn thinking. It's the art of providing working solutions efficiently. I have high hopes in the idea that you can start learning things no matter how old you are. Of course youngsters who already spent years with programming have a good start. Think about the positive things. You've perhaps did something great in your earlier life that certainly can help your way to learn programming - and it's a life-long way. Maybe the best advice I can give: dive in and enjoy. Get know people like you, get know the gurus in your scene (no matter what it is), talk to them and develop things that you like. Make them better and better in an iterative way. Probably in months you will be able to express your thoughts and questions to any developer without any issues. Last thoughts: learn how to write documentation for your code and use a version control system, probably a distributed one. It will make your life easier. |
I do believe that this is an individual thing. I am currently 32 and started a University programming course 2 years ago. I am currently 3 months into a 12 month internship and I am more than comfortable with things such as threads and events(in answer to a previous answer). I am currently focusing on design patterns and as my knowledge of them increases, I try to identify areas within my work where I can apply my new knowledge. Slowly, my code is getting better and more maintainable. If you work hard enough and have the desire and enthusiasm to improve, then age is no barrier. |
Absolutely you can with lots of hands-on work if you have the hours to devote. It is very useful to ground yourself in good design patterns from the start which will be very useful in "playing catch-up", but after that go crazy. The toughest part can be convincing others that you are a programmer worth hiring or considering or listening to. Down the road, you may have to look for opportunities (such as open source projects, frequent contributor to SO, ... etc) to demonstrate your skill as a programmer, but definitely possible to be a gem. |
You are never too old. I started learning when i was 26 and i have never had so much fun. That was in 1999 and since then i have never stopped reading or learning about the subject of software development. Not because i wanted to work in this industry but because it interested me. I liked to make little applications and games, etc. After many years of working full time in a totally unrelated field i made a 'sideways' move into software development as my main career, purely because of so much experience of coding in my free time. Just go for it. If you find it stimulating and fun you are never too old. Just remember to keep an open mind regarding new technologies! |

purrnak Posts: 4So I have a car which is fun to work on because it's so simple. yes you guessed it. A free hyundai pony 1986 1.4 yay for the lack of power.
Okay the mods I've done to it.
1. run elwire along the dash and behind the meters (yes blinks to the music)
2. mp3 stereo
- Massive amp
- 2x 12" Sony Xplode subs (waste of money buy something else and save $)
- 2x 9" 100 watt rms mids for the doors
3. Cathodes around the spearkers, under the seats, in front of the gear shifter Reds
4. Modified the ashtray to be the controler board for all the lights and to switch the amp on and off
(Yes this is a pony I'm talking about now stop laughing)
5. Cleaned up the engine and replaced all the hoses and most of the cables
6. Battery swap unit that allows for 2 batters and the ability to recharge them both without having to switch anything over.
7. stearing wheel and seat covers (yes the all important red seat covers and floor mats) Improved the look of the car by 1000x
I say again, YES it is a pony I'm talking about.
Mods I want to do to it. I'll split this into "has a purpose" and "No reason really"
Has a purpose:
a) I want to put a straight pipe exhaust in and change the muffler. Not sure how yet
b) Change the muffler tip/exhaust pipe in some way. I want to split the pipe and redirect the outputs to be wider and distort the noise a bit. I'm still learning about how the exhaust system works.
c) I want to add a new speaker box so it fills the trunk with a lift cover so I can stash stuff under it. Can't explain this one very well.
d) I want to add mags but because it's a pony my options are pretty limited until I found out how difficult it would be to change the mounting system. Right now it looks like 4 x 100's but I found some nice mags that are 5x something. I also have to look into conversion plates.
No purpose at all:
a) Put a wing on it. Not one you just buy in a box, but one I make myself that only has a look and no real purpose (yes it's a pony)
b) Once I get new rims I want to pain the calipers and light them up
c) under lights
d) flame thrower out the front (Not as hard to build as you might think)
e) Lower the car ( will probably do this one but don't know enough yet )
So um.. that's my big Toy Free junk yard parts makes this crap doable and fun.
And yes I hear a lot of laughter.
Any ideas what I could do to it? It's all a learning experience on this car so if I mess up, I don't really care. Oh and I beat quite a few cars off the line. I don't have the top spead of most civics but I can tick most of them off by getting across the intersection first.
(okay you can stop laughing now.)0 · -
ultimatedriver Posts: 74Sounds like an extensive project. I wish you the best. I'm not so sure you need to necessarily go to a 5 lug pattern on those mags. The aftermarket is too huge. Try calling the company. You'd be surprised as to how much help they're willing to give you if you explain what your intentions are as to your project.
As far as your performance is concerned, I'd make sure that the fuel system was running strong. For a mid-eighties Korean vehicle, that Pony is surprisingly reliable. Just go for Higher octane gas and clean up the exhaust system as best you can.
Best of luck to you.0 · -

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,765Hmmm...that might not be so easy. I would google the Japanese Tuner Magazines or check your newsstand for classifieds in any specialty modding magazine.

iroc_fiero Posts: 3With only 4 production years, there aren't a lot of people who even recognize them on the rare occasion that they see one actually moving under its own power.... But the Pontiac Fiero makes a great platform to build on. I have an 88 model and a 305 TPI from an IROC-Z28 that I am going to swap into it.
The car is a pretty popular choice for people making kit cars and replicas of European cars since it is the only mid engine in GM's modern line up. I haven't fully decided whether I would like to build a kit car or just swap the engine and be content that even with stock parts people don't know what they are looking at. But thats my project idea. For about 5K I can have a aggressive little coupe that should be capable of lifting the front tires off the ground. :surprise:0 · -

High quality stainless steel construction offers the strongest wand design available with permanent, life long stain and corrosion resistance. Beautiful brushed finish shows quality workmanship that will not rust, chip, scratch or peel and will remain functional and good looking for years to come.
Inox Class MYR6746 telescopic wand is a button lock cord management hose end with button lock connection on the tool end (Button/Button). The hose end of the wand (top) is button locking 1¼" with the button hole centered 1.3 inches from the top of the wand. The button hole is covered with the Easy-Tab thumb saver which provides easy depression of the locking pin when disconnecting the wand from the hose. A button deflector is formed into the top of the wand that guides the button into the locking position. A cord management connector is mounted to the back of the wand top. The cord management connector holds a standard polarized mini pin powerbrush cord for quick disconnection. The cord management connector is designed to mate with a flush mount powered hose from Plastiflex (gas-pump, pistol grip and dolphin type handles) and Centec brand 3200 hoses with flush mount receptacle. The cord management connector does not fit Centec XZ hoses, Kenmore hoses or hoses with a recessed power connector.
The tool end is 1¼" male button locking with a riveted steel locking pin centered 1.2 inches from the end of the wand. Designed for connection with most 1¼" vacuum tools including button locking power nozzles and 1¼" button lock or friction fit floor tools and other 1¼" button lock or friction fit cleaning accessories. When used with a friction fit accessory the button remains depressed within the connection of the mating tool and the tool stays connected with the normal friction fitting.
