/r/truegaming is a subreddit dedicated to meaningful, insightful, and high-quality discussion on all topics gaming.
Not sure how or what to post? Check out the /r/truegaming Guide.
If you want the TL;DR version of how to post to /r/truegaming, it is as follows:
Come up with a clear title; avoid sensationalism.
Describe what you wish to discuss in detail in the message body in a meaningful manner.
Focus the discussion in a specific direction and avoid general questions ("what are your thoughts", "what games/mechanics are x", "discuss", yes/no questions, etc.).
This is a subreddit for discussion. This is not a sub for memes, images links, article links, fanboyism/PCMR and circlejerk type posts. This means that there's bound to be agreement, disagreement, interesting tangents, and even indifference.
Have an open mind. Don't dismiss someone just because they have a different opinion. Instead, clearly explain why you have a disagreement, and be willing to understand differing points of view.
Don't be rude. This is a forum for friendly discussion, personal attacks will not be tolerated. Hate speech will result in an immediate permanent ban.
Use your votes. Downvoting is not for disagreement, however if (and only if) a post doesn't fit the rules, feel free to downvote. Certainly upvote the kinds of posts you want to see more of!
On the same note, don't let downvotes get to you. Despite being against "Reddiquette" and these rules, many users downvote for arbitrary reasons. No one but the individual downvoters are in control of this. If you downvote, we suggest that you explain why in the comments.
Automoderator will remove top-level comments with fewer than 150 characters. If you're posting a link relevant to the discussion, elaborate on its content.
Discussion threads about specific games, mechanics, tropes, etc. (be specific, and include discussion points).
News relevant to the gaming industry and culture (be sure to include discussion points).
Links to articles and videos that can serve as a jumping off point for discussion - but please include a summary and discussion points about the videos and articles.
DAE posts, or any similar variant.
Posts asking for idle speculation ("Why don't more games do X?", "Why isn't X more popular?").
Vague or overly general posts ("What are your thoughts on X?", "How do you feel about X?"). Posts should specify the context of the discussion, not just ask for thoughts, feelings, or opinions in general.
List posts ("What games do X?", "What are some good examples of X?"). Check out /r/gamingsuggestions.
Purchasing advice. For these, please go to /r/shouldibuythisgame or /r/gamingsuggestions.

Terrible performance issues which results in terrible everything else.
For reference, I'm running: 3.2 GHz quad-core processor 12 GB RAM (DDR3; no idea if that even matters any more) Radeon HD6850
I get about 5-10 FPS on low and medium settings.
[–]RienJClyde 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I've got the same GPU and a similar CPU, and my fps was around 30-40 with constant lagspikes on low-medium. Playable, but far from what I'd expect.

How to Laminate a Sign
Every so often, a laminated sign may be the perfect solution to what you're looking for. Lamination will help keep items from getting damaged by water, smudges, finger prints, tearing or a host of other damages. Lamination also has the advantage of bringing out the color and contrast in an item. Lamination can help preserve an item, such as a flyer or a scrapbook sign, for a longer period of time. Perhaps you want to advertise a yard sale, create a "For Sale" sign, make a school project or create a sturdy flyer to hand out. Scrapbooking enthusiasts often use laminators to create sturdy entries for their scrapbooks. No matter what you're looking to laminate, you'll want to have the right tools for the job. While large jobs may call for the assistance of a business that specializes in making signs, smaller lamination projects can be handled on your own if you have the right equipment.

Nite Ize CamJam Cord Tightener
This item is ideal for the person who travels light and needs to make camp and break camp quickly. A must have if you use a tarp for shelter as opposed to a tent. I have used Nite Ize Cam Jams a lot in the past two years. They have become my favorite way to fasten my tarp shelters securely and quickly. They allow me to quickly break down camp and pack up, rather than sitting around fighting a knot when I need to move on in a hurry. I really like how they are compatible with 550 paracord and how… Full review
Lawson Equipment Titanium Tent Stake
Strong and light best describe my favorite tarp stakes. As a hammock guy knowing the tarp is secure is a great feeling. And with these titanium sheppard hooks with most Southeast soils these stakes will hold your tarp tight. These babies are tuff too, not one has been bent even with stepping on them to drive them home. Weighing in at a whopping 6.25 grams or .22 oz. each I can carry six of these and barely break an oz., and at 6.25 inches they aren't taking up noticeable space in your pack. And… Full review
MSR Carbon-Core Stake Kit
Too fragile. I used these stakes twice before one of them broke. Surprisingly it didn't break while driving it into the ground. I had difficulty removing the stakes from the ground, and one of them broke as I wiggled it side-to-side attempting to loosen it. The end of the stake is still in the ground in the Sierra Nevada. Full review
Grand Trunk TreeSling
Great product, easy to use and great way to set up your hammock. I had my first set only a few days. I set up my hammock and the strap ripped a bit. There was a problem in the splice, but Grand Trunk took them back and gave me a new set no questions asked. Other than that they work great. I love them. They are so easy to use. Full review
Nite Ize Figure 9 Carabiner
The folks at Nite Ize know you're not a Boy Scout, and you're not a sailor. But sometimes you need to secure a rope to a fixed object, or a rope to another rope. Their elegant solution is the Figure 9. I'm not a salty sailor who's ridden the high seas for decades. I'm also not a Boy Scout with a sash full of knot tying merit badges. I'm just a guy who sometimes abandons my otherwise perfectly usable home for a day or three and sleeps outside in a hammock. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person… Full review
MSR Groundhog Tent Stake
These stakes do a nice job staying secure in the ground due to the design. They are also very light and easy to remove with the attached loop of cord. They are much better than the factory stakes that come with most tents. Do yourself and your tent a favor and purchase the MSR Groundhog Tent Stakes. These stakes are very easy to secure in the ground due to the design. They seem to cling to the earth much better than your typical tent stake. The bright red color and reflective coating on the cable… Full review
MSR Mini Groundhog Stake
For their smaller size (6"), these stakes are deceptively strong and lightweight. While a dollar more expensive than other aluminum stakes, a few of these will go a long way holding down any tent, tarp, or even recreational equipment. I have encountered no problems in the slightly sandy/red clay/compact soil of central and western N.C. I originally didn't have any thought to review these MSR Mini Groundhog stakes as they were part of a tent I purchased. The Hubba Hubba NX comes with a pack of… Full review
Equinox Tyvek Ground Cloth
My sheet of washed and edge-seamed Tyvek with strategic grommets and center flaps acts as ground cloth, rain fly, tarp, bivy, pack cover or poncho. I don't leave home without it. Cut sheet to size of required footprint plus a foot or two on door side if under a tent. Place grommets where poles and stakes would go. Cut and seam openings for head and arms. Tape (Tyvek tape) flaps over head and arm slits. Seam all edges with Tyvek Tape. (Tyvek Tape is lighter than, say, Gorilla Tape, and equally strong.)… Full review
Nite Ize CamJam Cord Tightener
This is definitely a handy tool to have around the campsite. It clips on to about anything and allows you to tie down and tighten rope without any knots! It is quick to tighten and quick to release. The CamJam has become one of those products that I always have hooked on to my gear because I always want it with me when I'm camping. One thing that I cannot stand is having a knot tighten up too much much to where it's near impossible to get undone. Also, it's kind of frustrating when you have something… Full review

StephanieLove The Waver! But Have Bought Two And They Have Both Burned Out.I love how my hair looks when I use it but I have bought two of them and both were used for about a month and have stopped working. Its like it got too hot and and burnt the element inside. I have know spent over $100 buck on two of them and I no longer have the waver. Very disappointed and there is only a 30 return policy.posted May 15, 2014Link to this post
SarahTorontoHairBlackNormal HairJust AmazingSo now I know how the salons get these wonderful waves!
I love this machine...it is absolutely amazing. I did alot of research between the hot tools hair deep waver vs the 3 barrel crimper and I am glad I chose this!
Instantly, without any hair product in my hair, the waver started adding very defined waves into my hair! and they actually stay for quite some time! Of course, with spray and mousse, I am sure they would hold for more than a day.
Do not hesitate to buy this product!
You definitely need a heat mat while using this product as it heats from both sides.posted Jul 24, 2013Link to this post -
Kayla D.CanadaHairBlondeLovethis <3Best crimper ever, it heats up so fast and it lets me speed through my hair and have the whole thing done in less than an hour! (That may sound like a lot of time to you but my hair is over 20in long and its thick! So for me to be able to style it in less than an hour by myself.. thats amazing :p ) It gives me the perfect waves and I absolutely love using it, I honestly want to use it everyday of my life! I highly recommend this product to everyone :) ,posted May 16, 2013Link to this post

CaitlynnNYHairAuburnNormal HairColor Treated HairFun New ToolI've only used it once so far. Mid-way through my hair I wasn't sure how it would turn out but once it was all wavy it looked fabulous. Everyone asked me if I had gotten a perm. I will probably watch some videos to get tips on making it look its best. I have LONG thick, heavy hair and the heat was powerful enough to wave it well. Be careful about burning yourself at the end. There's nothing to hold on to and it gets tiring to hold it after a while, but as I said I have a LOT of hair.posted Nov 29, 2012Link to this post
AndiCedar Falls, IAHairBlackFine or Thin HairAbsolutely Love!I love love love this deep waver! Before I had just a 3 barrel & it didn't really do anything to my hair but once I bought this, it's made my hair so volumized & pretty! I have naturally pin straight hair & the deep waver actually stays in my hair compared to curls or a 3 barrel. Definitely recommend it!! :)posted Sep 28, 2012Link to this post
Michelle R.Kansas City, MOI'm Bringing Sexy Back!I REALLY love this tool. Heats up fast and stays HOT. I am planning on using this on ALL of my clients.

This Is Amazingsince i live in australia, i had to wait for 20 days for it to deliver to my house but this is definitely worth waiting for! i love this so much. it gives my hair a really nice wave. it's just perfect. ahhh i really recommend this for anyone who is bored of their straight hair. im just so happyposted Aug 23, 2012Link to this post
EmilyHairNormal HairColor Treated HairPretty AwesomeThis deep waver is great! However, I found that for me, to get the style to last, I have to apply hair spray on each section before I use it. Produces a beautiful result, but it's horrible for the hair, so I plan to use this sparingly.posted Jul 31, 2012Link to this post
TiffanyUnited StatesHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairMy Thoughts On My WaverMy hair is a Light Golden Brown, it's thick and straight but fine, and it goes to about the middle of my back. The waver did it's job and made my hair look wonderful, soft and shiny. I also liked how I could change the heat settings so it would work on others as well. However if you get this I would recommend also buying a heat safe styling glove. If not, you'll have to be a bit careful of the plastic finger grip at the end of the plates when using it, because they get too hot to hold onto. I found it a bit difficult to style my hair using only the one hand on the handle, and my arm got tired fairly quickly. Overall I like this waver, the results were awesome and the deep waves were lovely.posted Jun 14, 2012Link to this post

Why use under sink water filters?
I was looking for the best home water filter, but was unable to find the right one for my home. Through my friend I came to know that under sink water filters are the most popular and convenient types of filters that are idyllic to use. My friend was already using this filter system and was gratified with under sink water filter system. They are superlative because they can be utilized to filter both cooking and drinking water.
Factors that made me to choose under sink water filters.
As suggested my friend, I decided to buy the under sink water filtration system to have a healthy, pure and odor free. I was concerned about my family members health and I dint wanted any of us to suffer by drinking unsafe water. Thus, it was very essential for me to choose the best water filter to safeguard health and free from deadly diseases. The other vital factors that made me purchase under sink water purification systems were; these filters are clutter-free.
It was possible to store the filters beneath kitchen sink easily. I find these kinds of filters to be most useful as I desired to have a clutter free environment and also it was suitable for using with the smaller counter space. Another best thing is these filters are easy for installing. I myself installed the under sink water filtration without seeking the help of a professional plumber. Also, these kinds of water filters are affordable and come with low maintenance cost. I usually replace my filters once in six months. Beside an expensive house filtration system, these are much affordable and convenient. Choosing this filtration system was the right decision. They act as a protective agent and prevents from dangerous diseases. These filter system make the water free from all types of contaminants and offer the safe drinking water.

Single-window mode maybe?
I'd rather the choice between single window mode, and multi-window mode. I do have a reason for multi-window sometimes, so don't get rid of it, just also allow single window.
I agree mirv. The multi window mode is useful when i'm multitasking.
Just what use cases are there for a single window?
- Gimp utility windows don't show up in the task bar (on Windows and GNOME at least).
- Gimp utility windows are on top of the image windows, but don't obscure the image because:
- Your image is not constrained to the image window, you can scroll beyond the borders.
- When you select an image from the task bar, all utility windows will show up too.
But utility windows have at least two advantages:
- Implicit multi-monitor support.
- Multitasking is more like Mac OS X: your panels stay in the same place, but work on the current image. It's document-centric.
So, why would you want a single window?
Exactly, it makes a mess on the desktop. To make things worse I usually need Gimp when I'm doing something, meaning that lots of windows will already be open. It's very easy to lose Gimp's windows, and you'll spend lots of unnecessary time clicking around the desktop to get to them. It's simply annoying.

In each generation of Pokémon games, a set of Starter Pokémon are available for new trainers to choose from in sets of three; the types that make up these sets are Fire, Grass, and Water. However, Pokémon Yellow is currently the sole exception to all the above, with Pikachu as the only starter available to the player.

- With the exception of Pikachu and Eevee, all Starter Pokémon are the same types: Grass, Fire, and Water.
- All known Fire-type Starters are based on the Chinese Zodiac: Charmander represents the Dragon, Cyndaquil represents the Rat, Torchic represents the Rooster, Chimchar represents the Monkey, and Tepig represents the Pig.
- Bulbasaur is the only Starter to be dual-type in basic form.
- All known Grass-type Starters possess reptile like attributes and each have a type of plant on their bodies which grows bigger through evolution.
- Most Fire-type Starters' final evolutions consist of two types. The only exception is Typhlosion.
- Ash has captured all known Starter Pokémon, with the exceptions of Eevee, Torchic, Mudkip and Piplup.
- All the Starter Pokémon have a common color on their bodies. Fire starters have red, Water starters have blue, and Grass starters have green.
- Oshawott is the only Unova Starter that does not have 5 letters in its name.
- In Sinnoh, Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon all have a super effective typing against the other. Example: Torterra is part Ground, Infernape is part Fighting and Empoleon is part Steel.

Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Chimchar and Tepig can learn the ultimate Fire attack Blast Burn. And Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup and Oshawott can learn the ultimate Water attack Hydro Cannon.
- However, both Eevee and Pikachu can learn what can be called the ultimate attacks in there respective type in any form. Pikachu can learn Volt Tackle, and Eevee in one of its evolved forms, can learn Hyper Beam.
- In Pokémon Colosseum, the player starts out with and Espeon and Umbreon, while on Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player starts off with an Eevee. However, these games are not part of the main series.
- Pikachu is the only Starter that has a pre-evolution.
- This pre-evolution is Pichu.
- However, in the game that Pikachu is the starter, Pichu didn't exist.
- Bulbasaur, Eevee, Chikorita, Mudkip, Turtwig, and Tepig are starters that stand on four legs, others stand on two legs.
- So far since Generation III, all Fire-type Starters are part Fighting-type in their secondary and third evolutionary forms.
- Bulbasaur is the only Poison-type Starter.

In April of last year I pointed out that using the Medium projection from the UN is foolish. This was in response to a TE article comparing China's and America's population growth, which relied on the medium variant from the UN.
Fast forward to the end of last year when the US Census office released their latest update on population count. Guess which UN number is closest to the one from census office? you got that right, the *low* variant as always.
So that 10 billion number in 2100 in the chart above will actually be in all probability somewhere around 6 billion. But hey what is 4 billion people (or a difference of 40%) between friends?

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare inherited genetic disorder. There are 40 subtypes of leukodytsrophy. X-linked ALD is the most common category. ALD results in degeneration of the:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are six subtypes of X-linked ALD:
ALD is caused by an inherited defective gene.
In people with ALD, the body cannot properly break down fatty acids. This results in a build up of saturated fatty acids in the brain and the adrenal cortex. This causes damage of the myelin sheath in the brain and the adrenal gland.
This condition is most common in males, although females may also be affected. It is also more common in children and young adults. Having a mother who carries the defective X-linked ALD gene may increase your risk.
Symptoms can vary within the types of ALD.
This form is the most severe. It only affects boys. Symptoms usually begin between 2–10 years of age. About 35% of patients can have severe symptoms during the early phase. On average, death results in two years. Some patients may live a couple of decades.
Initial symptoms include:
As the disease progresses, more serious symptoms develop. These include:
This type is similar to the childhood type. It begins around 11-21 years of age. The progression is usually slower.
This is the most common form. Symptoms of AMN can present in the 20s. It progresses slowly. They can include:
With this type, symptoms usually do not appear until young adulthood (20s) or middle age (50s). It causes symptoms similar to schizophrenia and dementia . It usually progresses quickly. Death or a vegetative state can occur in 3-4 years.
This form is only seen in women. Symptoms may be mild or severe. It usually does not affect the adrenal gland function.
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:
Images may be taken of your brain. This can be done with an MRI scan .
There is no known cure for the brain damage of ALD. However, the adrenal deficiency can be treated with cortisone replacement. ALD often causes death within 10 years of the onset of symptoms.
Some therapies can help manage the symptoms of ALD. These include:
There are also some experimental treatments. Some treatments that are still being investigated that you may want to talk to your doctor about include:
There is no known way to prevent ALD. If you have ALD or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.
Early recognition and treatment may prevent symptoms from developing. New technologies may soon allow early identification through newborn screening.

Best Uses
This looked pretty simple and straightforward on the website. When the box arrived, I eagerly opened it and got ready to install in my raised bed. My cucumbers were waiting... Well, the instructions were incomplete, a loose green part was in the box which I figured out what it was for later. The screws are impossible to twist to attach the 2 sides. The website did not provide the little detail that I would need to find a way to secure this into the soil. I was expecting (foolish me) it to have stakes into the ground.

Testicular Biopsy
Skip to the navigationTest Overview
A testicular biopsy is a test to remove a small sample of tissue from one or both testicles and examine it under a microscope to evaluate a man's ability to father a child.
The testicles (testes) are oval-shaped glands that hang in the scrotum beneath the base of the penis. The testicles produce sperm (necessary for reproduction) and male hormones, such as testosterone.
Why It Is Done
A testicular biopsy may, on rare occasions, be done to help determine the cause of male infertility. Testicular biopsy may be done if both of the following are present:
Testicular biopsy is not usually used to detect testicular cancer. When cancer is suspected, an open surgical procedure (orchiectomy) is done to confirm the diagnosis.
Testicular biopsy may also be done to retrieve sperm for in vitro fertilization for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI).
How To Prepare
Before having a testicular biopsy, be sure to tell your doctor if you:
- Have had any bleeding problems.
- Are allergic to any medicines, including anesthetics.
- Take any medicines regularly. Be sure your doctor knows the names and doses of all your medicines.
- Are taking any blood-thinning medicines, such as warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, enoxaparin (Lovenox), aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of the biopsy, fill out the medical test information form (What is a PDF document?).
If a testicular biopsy is done under local anesthesia, no other special preparation is needed.
If the biopsy is done under general anesthesia, your doctor will tell you how soon before surgery to stop eating and drinking. Follow the instructions exactly about when to stop eating and drinking, or your surgery may be canceled. If your doctor has instructed you to take your medicines on the day of surgery, please do so using only a sip of water. During preparation for the biopsy, an intravenous line (IV) is inserted in your arm, and a sedative medicine is given about an hour before the biopsy.
How It Is Done
This biopsy is done by a surgeon or a doctor who treats reproductive health problems in men (urologist) in the doctor's office, a day surgery clinic, or a hospital operating room.
You will lie on your back on an examining table. The skin over your testicle is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, and the area around it is covered with sterile cloth. Your doctor will wear sterile gloves. It is very important that you do not touch this sterile area.
A local anesthetic will be injected into the skin of the scrotum to numb (anesthetize) the area. Then a small incision is made through the skin, and a tiny piece of testicular tissue is removed with small scissors. A single stitch is used to close the incision in the testicle, and another stitch is used to close the incision in the skin. (Absorbable sutures are used so the stitches do not need to be removed.) The procedure is usually repeated on the other testicle. The scrotal area is then bandaged. You will be asked to wear an athletic supporter for several days after the procedure to help support the testicles while the incisions heal.
If general anesthesia is used, you will be asleep during the procedure but the same method will be used.
The biopsy usually takes 15 to 20 minutes. You will probably be advised to refrain from sexual activity for 1 to 2 weeks after the biopsy. You should avoid washing the area for several days.
How It Feels
You will feel a brief sting when the IV line is inserted or when the local anesthetic is injected. Other than that, the procedure should be painless.
Your scrotum and testicles may be somewhat sore for 3 to 4 days after the biopsy and some bruising may be present. You may also notice a small amount of bleeding through the bandage, which is normal. Talk to your doctor about how much bleeding to expect.
There is a slight risk of prolonged bleeding or infection from this procedure. There is no risk of erection problems or infertility as a result of this biopsy. If general anesthesia is used, there is a small risk of complications from anesthesia.
After the biopsy
Call your doctor immediately if you have:
- Severe pain in your scrotum. Some mild discomfort is normal.
- Severe swelling of your scrotum. Some mild swelling is normal.
- A fever higher than 100°F (38°C).
- Excessive bleeding through the bandage.
A testicular biopsy is a test in which a small sample of tissue is taken from one or both testicles and examined under a microscope to evaluate a man's ability to father a child. Results are usually available in 2 to 4 days.
A pathologist examines the biopsy sample through a microscope for any abnormalities in sperm production or maturation. If sperm development appears normal yet a semen analysis test shows reduced or absent sperm, a blockage of the tube (vas deferens) from the testes to the urethra is suspected. A blocked vas deferens can sometimes be repaired by surgery.
What Affects the Test
It is important to remain completely still while a biopsy is done under local anesthesia. If this is not possible, general anesthesia may be needed.
What To Think About
Testicular cancer is more likely to spread when a testicular biopsy is done. For this reason, a biopsy usually is not done if testicular cancer is suspected. A testicular ultrasound is generally done to help diagnose suspected testicular cancer. To learn more, see the topic Testicular Ultrasound. When cancer is suspected, an open surgical procedure (orchiectomy) is done to confirm the diagnosis.

(England 1757 – 1827)
21.9 x 17.0 cm platemark; 50.4 x 34.4 cm sheet (irreg.)
Blake undertook the 21 illustrations to 'The Book of Job' in the final years of his life as the result of commission from the painter John Linnell. The prints are based on a series of watercolours that Blake had executed between 1805 and 1810 but they do not include the elaborate borders and inscriptions seen in the engravings. The Bible story describes Job as a righteous man who persisted in his faith in the Lord through all manner of afflictions and punishments and was rewarded in the end for his steadfastness. Blake was fascinated with story of Job and identified with his struggles. His engravings offer a highly original interpretation of the story rather than merely illustrating the biblical text.

Special Olympics athlete Tatjana Hinz gets her hearing tested at the Healthy Athlete Village, Athens, Greece.
The lives of three athletes from The Netherlands were transformed for good after participating in the Healthy Athlete Programme during the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens last summer.
Geert Zeeth, Tatjana Hinz and Marjan Kol all had their hearing tested at the Healthy Athlete Village and severe loss of hearing was detected in both their ears.
On returning to The Netherlands and having their hearing tested once again they have now all received hearing aids for both ears which will serve to improve their quality of life immensely.
For athlete Marjan Kol, hearing care professional Erik Lodewijk wondered how she was able to participate with the team like she did given her severe hearing loss in both ears.
It might seem odd that a severe hearing loss could go unnoticed for so long. But it can be explained. People with an intellectual disability may not recognize that they hear less, so the communication difficulties may be assumed to be caused by other issues and not identified. Lodewijk: "Especially for these people, proper hearing is very important; the better input they get, the higher their achievements will be."
Marjan is really pleased with her hearing aids. When asked if her family recognizes any changes in her hearing, she tells that she noticed changes for herself. She observed that the volume of the TV was quite loud when her mother watches it. At work too she turns the volume of her hearing aids down a bit because noises are sometimes too loud. Her coach Ellen Schaap observes a huge improvement: "Marian is much more coachable because she hears more. We can save our voices now during tournaments. When Marian needs to change positions we can call her at a normal level."
Marjan, Geert and Tatjana's hearing aids are provided by the Hear the World Foundation who have promised that for the next five years, their hearing aids will be checked.
Until today, numerous athletes have been fitted with hearing aids thanks to the Hear the World Foundation

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This frameset has been great for me. The VPP suspension design is efficient, but will soak up small bumps at the same time very well. One of my favorite aspects of the VPP suspension is that they never seem to have any type of harsh bottom out, which is especially nice with only 100mm of travel. This, paired with the range of fork travel options on this frameset, allow it to tackle a wide variety of terrain and riding styles. Weight of my complete bike with moderate parts (SLX drivetrain, aluminum cockpit, and tubeless tires) came in at 29lbs w/pedals.

Product Description
New for 2015! This season, Axe has improved and expanded their line of youth bats so that every player can experience the Axe difference! The Axe Phenom is value priced without sacrificing an ounce of performance or durability, and should be one of the most popular bats on the field in no time! Refined this year with improved ergonomics that deliver better performance and comfort, the Axe handle looks exactly like what it sounds like - the handle of an axe. It defies conventional thinking, but the Axe handle fits perfectly in your hands, pushing the bat to your fingertips where it's supposed to be. The Axe handle's oval nature establishes a single swing plane for ridiculously consistent performance, swing after swing. This is especially important for youth players, as consistency and mechanics are key. The one-piece Axe Phenom is built from LP1 Alloy and features the new Engineered Hitting Zone that is reinforced on the hitting side of the barrel and designed specifically for one-sided hitting. Consistency, comfort, performance, and durability at a great price - What more could you ask for?! How about a 30 day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee? If the Axe handle isn't for you, simply send it back. What do you have to lose? The Axe Phenom is approved for play in Little league, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.

36th MSRA Car Show - Land of 11,510 Cars
Written by on September 30, 2009 Back To The 50's In St. Paul, MinnesotaA month later and the feeling still keeps coming back-that combination of awe, excitement, and sensory overload.
It comes back whenever I catch the scent of deep-fried cheese curds or pork chops on a stick. It comes back whenever I hear the sound of 11,000-plus '64-and-earlier rods, customs, classics, and trucks in one place at one time. It came back this week as I sifted through my photos from the Minnesota Street Rod Association's (MSRA) huge annual event at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul. Suddenly, in my imagination, I was back at Back to the 50's, probably the biggest rod and custom event I've ever been to in my life.
This year was the 36th time the MSRA has hosted this event, and it was my first time attending. I hope it's not the last. The shade tree-filled fairgrounds is a fantastic place for a gathering of 11,510 cars and trucks (this year's total). Despite its size, Back to the 50's has the feel of a regional car club event-which, come to think of it, it is. The MSRA is a non-profit group of volunteers who just happen to know how to put on a car show.
Of course, Back to the 50's has all the extra stuff we like about big car shows-an extensive manufacturers midway, a great swap meet, live bands, oldies music from announcer Wings Kalahan, plus the Dana Mecum Hot Rod Auction. And we like what it doesn't have-namely, trophies. Can you believe that 11,510 show cars will show up even if they can't go home with an award? They sure will!
What we liked the best was the variety-from freshly finished rides to in-the-works projects to survivors that folks have owned for 20, 30, even 50 years. We found high-tech and traditional cars, and big-buck and low-budget cars. On these pages, you'll notice an emphasis on the traditionally inspired iron, on owner-builds, and on a few of those survivors, but we tried to present an assortment to show the diversity of the event.
We've already been to www.msra.com for information on the 37th Back to the 50's for 2010. We'll look for you there. We might not find you, but we'll sure look for you.
The Show on the Road
We love car shows and we love show cars; but we really love hearing about enthusiasts getting out and driving their rods and customs. Back to the 50's was just one of many stops on a 4,200-mile road trip for these four couples from British Columbia, Canada. When we met them in St. Paul, they had already driven these cars from their hometown of Kelowna to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, then back into Canada, through Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and down into Minnesota. From St. Paul, they were heading to the Speedway Motors Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, then onto Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone, followed by Great Falls, Montana, and Calgary, Alberta, and, finally, home to Kelowna. They promised to send us photos and stories from their road trip. We'll post those, along with more photos of these cars, on the R&C website at www.rodandcustommagazine.com.
From left to right are Chuck and Kim Wilsone with their Hemi-powered '41 DeSoto, Jim and Jackie Radloff and their '54 Ford, Steve and Liz Foster and their '56 Ford wagon, and Ralph and Barb Carlaw with their '63 Buick.

Looking for Speaker Wire?
Start shoppingVideo: Speaker Cable Basics
Learn about the key things you should consider when buying speaker cable.
Gary: Hi, I'm Gary, and I'm an advisor here at Crutchfield, but I've also been an audio engineer for about thirty years. And there's two really important things that you need to know about speaker cables. You need to know that you have to have them in order to get from your receiver to your speakers, and the other thing is you have to buy them separate because they don't come with either component.
You want to get a good quality cable that's made to carry amplified sound to your speakers. When you're deciding how much to get, make sure you get enough. When you're estimating or measuring, just add more.
And you also want to get the right gauge of cable. The further away your speakers are — the longer your run — the heavier gauge that you're going to need. And it never hurts to just get a heavier gauge anyway because it carries more signal.
You also need to consider where you are going to install it. If you're going to run it across the floor, it's going to be a different kind of cable than you would need for an in-wall installation, or if you are going to bury it or run it across the ground.
Now as an option, you might want to consider some speaker cable connectors. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and they make the installation part much, much easier than just trying to deal with the bare wire.

Women & Gender
Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.

Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.

In my country the Lumia 520 is more like $280 and the asha is much cheaper, but no big seller since most people want real smartphones.
Andriod can be found from $45 (Huawei U8180 Ideos X1).
All prices are contract free.
Now i know that prices differ a lot in different countries but with Androids that's cheaper than Nokia asha i find it hard to see a bright future for the asha phones.
As you i too find it hard to believe that poor people that get there first smartphone would care much about some small lag in Android, this is more a problem for people that like to complain about Android.
I can't see that asha will withstand the cheap android phones, maybe Nokia meltemi would have had a better chance but it was never finished and it's still not clear what it actually was and how feature rich it would be.
I can't see how WP and asha can save Nokia and regain lost market share, but i can see Nokia survive as a small player in the mobile industry.
Nokia's downfall makes me sad because Nokia has such knowledge in hardware design, it's hard to argue over the cheaper Lumias hardware for their price.
