the rule regarding the amount of time you have to recover dropped food from the floor and still be able to eat it.
my ice cream! quick, 5 second rule!
di megan
09 luglio 2004
when you drop something (usually food) you have five seconds to pick it up or you no longer can eat it.
whenever i drop food on the floor, i use the five second rule so i can still eat it.

If you drop a piece of food on the ground, and pick it up within five seconds, it's still considered OK to eat and not contaminated.
I dropped a potato chip on the dining hall floor, but since I obeyed the 5 second rule, it's still good.

The supposed amount of time (5 seconds)you have to pick up food after it's been dropped on the ground or floor. Allegedly, the bacteria doesn't get on it before 5 seconds is up so you can still eat it if you pick it up really quickly. Sadly, it's all bullshit and not true but it makes good for justification - mainly so people don't call you gross.

You know when you have some fried chicken on your plate and it's the last piece at the cookout and of COURSE you drop it on the floor. Then what do you do? After all, it's disgusting to eat food that fell on the floor. Well, the 5 SECOND RULE says that after 5 seconds, any food that fell on the floor immediately becomes un-germified. So after 5 seconds, eat whatever you dropped on the floor, cuz the rule is what really matters.
John: "Damn I dropped my slice of pizza on the floor."
Mike: "That's too bad."
John: "Oh well," ::picks slice up and waits five seconds:: "5 second rule!" ::BITE!::

A state located in New England that all other states should give thanks to, purely for the fact we started this country. And if any other state says otherwise, it is a widespread idea that these states should be given to the canadans, because everyone knows that canadans don't count.
Thank you Masachusetts for being both senic and beautiful, and harsh and dirty. Especially thank you Southie for breeding some of the best scum of the earth.

State where I was born, live in, and mostly likely will die in. The best state in the United States. It is a cold place in the winter months but never gets too hot and it is not as heavily taxed as most states these days, it is 34th out of 50 making the Taxachusetts insult obsolete now. It has more culture than the rest of New England, great universities, and an exstensive amount of history.
Massachusetts was the sixth state to join the Union.

Seriously, michael, I don't know what you were thinking.
Thanks for the tests with some usable info, Marek.
Nah, when benching a GPU you want to run the games at as high a resolution and as high a graphical settings as the game offers so you can fully beat on the GPU and drivers as hard as possible.
If this where a CPU test you'd do the opposite, you run it at minimum graphical settings at 640x480 or 800x600, whatever the bare minimum the game will allow you to run it at to see how fast the CPU can run the game engine without the GPU being the bottleneck.
The GPU test is closer to how most people actually play their games though. I.E. as high a detail settings as possible while not falling below the 30FPS threshold where the game will get choppy and laggy.
That's not true at all.. When you're talking 1080p + MSAA on an old card, the only thing you're testing is the memory bandwidth.. The CPU, GPU and GPU drivers are sitting there practically idle waiting for data to flow between the GPU and GPU memory..
In order for anti-aliasing to work, geometry gets scaled up to double their resolution in GPU memory. An old card, running at 1080p with anti-aliasing is absurd.. It was never done then, and no gamer is going to do it now on an old card because the framerates produced are too low to be playable and it has nothing to do with the GPU chip or the driver.
IMO, the benchmarks don't seem very useful at all.. He should be comparing low resolution + AA vs. high resolution without AA.. If high resolution looks better and is a lot faster, then you can conclude there is still some optimization work to be done in the AA.. AA has always been used by gamers as a way to get around needing to have a higher resolution display.
The only thing the benchmark shows, in my opinion, is that old cards were badly memory bandwidth bottlenecked.. Which gamers already know. When those cards were out, nobody had 1080p screens and if they did, they didn't need any AA.
The issue is that (a) the same card produced much higher frame rates with the open source driver 18 months ago -- high enough that MSAA would probably have been useful even at 1920x1080 and (b) users are reporting higher frame rates even today which suggests it's not as simple as an across-the-board regression.
Could be that the older frame rates were wrong, or the new ones, or there's a partial regression, or some setting/configuration-dependent thing.
My suggestion is that developers issue a public recommendation/profile for Michael how to test properly and Michael reads own forums :)
Result : everyone happy :)
AMD should build a statue for Marek so everyone(incl. AMD) can ritually sacrifice him some "beers" :)
In fairness, we're not aware of anything wrong with the tests. The results just seem odd and we don't know why.
Agree on the Marek statue. Questions is where it should be built so that everyone could get to it. Maybe we could put a little picture of Marek in the lower right corner of the screen when running open drivers, just like the <testing> icon fglrx displays on untested hardware ;)
Oh shit!! Now we even have Bridgman bowing to the mighty Marek! :D
Seriously You guys, both in AMD and independant developers, have been doing a fantastic job. I have a 6850 that I could only be slightly happier with. Keep up the good work guys.
Power management and video decode is really all thats left. Well at least for my needs anyway.

Prospect Nelson to take on Mets in first MLB start
After three relief appearances, 24-year-old righty gets chance to go
The Brewers have used the final month of the season as an opportunity to evaluate several of their young players, and on Saturday they will see one more.
Jimmy Nelson, the Brewers' top prospect according to MLB.com, will make his first big league start and try to help Milwaukee take the first three of a four-game set against the Mets at Citi Field. Nelson was a September callup and has pitched five scoreless innings out of the bullpen in three relief appearances this month.
But is that different than his starting role on Saturday?
"Not really," Nelson said. "I never really had any jitters or nervousness, even in my debut. I feel like if you do have jitters or nervousness, that fizzled out in the first inning or two. … I feel like this start won't be any different. I'll be excited to be out there, a little anxious, and I'll settle in and start pitching my game."
Nelson's last time out was a two-inning appearance against the Cubs on Sept. 18, leaving nine days between appearances. On Thursday, the 24-year-old righty discussed how deep into his first start he might go, according to what he told Brewers manager Ron Roenicke.
"I didn't give him an exact number, I just told him to let me go until I physically can't," said Nelson, who went 5-6 with a 3.67 ERA in 15 starts at Triple-A Nashville this year. "It's the last start of the season. I've gone over 100 pitches several times in the Minor Leagues this season, and generally I start to feel better as the game goes on. I told him pitch count isn't really an issue for me, but he's not going to push it. They're smart. Whatever they let me go, I'll be happy with. Of course, I'll probably fight it a little bit, but that's their decision."
Roenicke is not about to let his young phenom go the distance.
"Well, he wants to go full gorilla," Roenicke said with a smile. "I said, 'Ah, I'm not going to do that.' But if the innings aren't too stressed out early, he should be able to go a ways. It's got to be under control and there's got to be thinking going on, but I like the guys that are aggressive."
While Nelson vies for his first Major League win, New York's Aaron Harang will try for his first win with the Mets and 111th to end his 12th big league season. Harang, who was signed by the Mets in early September, is coming off a strong outing against the Reds on Monday, in which he allowed two runs on five hits in six innings -- even though he walked six. The veteran right-hander has a 4.24 ERA in three starts with the Mets and is 0-1.
In early September, Harang was designated for assignment and then released by the Mariners, where he went 5-11 with a 5.76 ERA in 22 starts.
Brewers: Segura may return Saturday
All-Star shortstop Jean Segura has sat out nine straight games with a strained left hamstring, but Roenicke said he might return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the Mets.
"I think he will," Roenicke said prior to Friday's 4-2 Brewers' win. "I think he'll be available today, and then we'll see if we can get him out there [Saturday]."
Segura, who injured his hamstring on Sept. 18 against the Cubs, did not come off Roenicke's bench on Friday, but he did have encouraging results in running drills at Citi Field.
Segura is hitting .296 with 12 home runs and 49 RBIs, and is tied with the Mets' Eric Young Jr. for the National League lead with 44 stolen bases. Young stole two bases on Thursday to tie Segura.
• Nelson said he has not contemplated how far he has come this season, beginning at Double-A Huntsville before stints with Nashville and the Brewers.
"No," Nelson said, "because it's not over. That's something you do in the offseason -- reflect back on good and bad and what you have to work on."
Mets: Wright out Friday with jammed thumb
David Wright did not play in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers after getting hit in the head on Thursday and jamming his right thumb while falling to the ground.
Wright was hit on the side of the helmet in the third inning by an 86-mph Johnny Hellweg changeup, but the injury forcing him out of Friday's game came when he fell to the ground. Wright passed all of his concussion tests, but the swelling in his thumb had not gone down, making it hard for him to swing a bat.
Mets manager Terry Collins was cautious with his third baseman.
"He doesn't have a concussion. He doesn't have headaches," Collins said. "As I told him out on the field after he did his running program to find out if he was going to get a headache, I said, before he started running, 'I don't care if you can count the number of stones that are on the warning track from first base. If you can't swing the bat, it's not a good idea to play.'"
Worth noting
• Harang is 6-6 with a 4.30 ERA in 23 career appearances against the Brewers.
• The Brewers lead the season series 3-2 entering Saturday.

From www.artclash.com: "What is Fun-A-Day? The premise is simple: pick a project, do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. Started in 2004 by a group of friends in Philadelphia, Fun-A-Day began as a way to stay creative and motivate each other to make things through the winter. Now in its ninth year, Fun-A-Day has grown from its Philadelphia roots–in 2010 there were 10 Fun-A-Day shows, organized by different art collectives and groups of friends across the country. If there's not a Fun-A-Day show in your community, consider organizing one. It's fun, easy and you'll probably meet new friends!"
My friends Frankie, Morgan, and myself, are organizing a Fun-A-Day event here in Montréal (Facebook event here). The perfect way to fight boredom and keep on goin' through the winter. I thought I'd write here about what I'm working on, and also include suggestions for others – after all, January is only two days a way!
I'm gonna call my project Food-A-Day. One of my winter goals has been to cook more often and be less anxious about being in kitchens (seriously, I swear I live off of toast and cereal most days), so I'll be documenting some of my meals and writing daily journal entries on various food-y memories, pizza dates, riots-not-diets… Food is a pretty broad topic that can take me on all kindsa tangents and I'm looking forward to it. In the end, it'll probably turn into a zine (as I'm sure you may have already guessed).
When I was hangin' with Dave Cave in the fall, he gave me a jar with alfalfa seeds, and told me how to sprout 'em: put a couple tablespoons of seeds into a mason jar, seal it with cheesecloth, rinse it in the morning and at night et voilà – in a few days, you will have yourself some sprouts! So yummy, and fun to grow in the kitchen during the winter.
Here are some ideas for things-to-do-a-day: Read a zine; create a self-portrait; make a comic; give something away; try a new tea; write a letter; call a friend; write a haiku; try a new recipe; say hello to a stranger; write down a secret; learn something new about yr neighbourhood; bake something and share it; mend an item of clothing; make a postcard; take a picture; draw something; write about a childhood memory; write a review; learn a new word in a second, third, fourth language; make a diorama; write a song; write down a fear, a hope, and a goal; tell your friends what you love about them; learn a dance move; play a game; pet a cat; make a poster; listen to an album you've never heard before… and document your daily efforts!
So, who else is participating in Fun-A-Day? And what are you gonna do?

Hi nthdegreeburns,It's not currently possible to send or share tasks with users who do not have a Remember The Milk account, sorry.You are able to create a public URL for a list by publishing it. This would allow your wife to view the list but not make any changes, but the list is available to anyone who has the URL.
Posted 2 years ago
Are the public URLs pretty well obfuscated or no?
Hi nthdegreeburns,The list looks something like this:https://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/username/1234567/(where "1234567" is your list ID).The list ID shouldn't exactly be able to be guessed, but it's not terribly obfuscated. Keep in mind too that publishing publicly would mean the list is able to be searched by search engines too.If you're looking for something more obfuscated, it may be preferable to pass along the RSS or iCalendar feeds. Those have more obfuscated private addresses, but that's probably okay to share with your wife. :)Hope that helps!

All it took was more patents to stop caring about them; as mr. Bridgman showed, there is now even a patent for your lungs.
So I'm assuming that none of this will work, unless your distro vendor has a patent license, or you recompile it yourself with '-middlefingerToPatentTrolls:1', or something?
So if one wanted to be a total treehugger, what functionality would they miss? Texture compression and HW-float? Or much more?
Also; when is somebody going to patent HW-double as an invention, to be able to fully support the float without getting patent trolled?

Anibal faces O's seeking end to false starts
Right-hander to debut opposite Gonzalez in first action since March 12
The Tigers' ability to carry their unblemished start to the season into their second series is contingent on right-hander Anibal Sanchez -- specifically, whether he shows signs of rust having not faced live MLB action since March 12.
Sanchez had been scheduled to start Detroit's series finale on Thursday against the Royals, but rain once again bumped back his start. His latest planned outing has him facing Baltimore's Miguel Gonzalez at Comerica Park on Friday.
On March 17, posterior shoulder inflation kept Sanchez out of a start, and a cortisone shot sidelined him for the following week. After rain postponed his next scheduled outing, he pitched in a Minor League spring game before rain canceled his start in the team's final exhibition game in Washington.
That's not to say, however, that this Spring Training was not an active one for Sanchez.
"The most impressive thing [about him] is he told me how much weight he's lost since he was with the Marlins," manager Brad Ausmus said. "I mean, this is a guy who really watches his diet and works out hard, and it's paying dividends in spades on the field."
The Orioles' power-laden lineup that features lefties Chris Davis and Nick Markakis figures to test Sanchez, whose opposing batting average was a full 50 points higher against left-handed batters than versus righties last season. Sanchez is coming off a season in which he set a career best for earned run average (2.57) and tied his best strikeout total (202).
Gonzalez's numbers from his second big league season were similar to those from his rookie year, though his workload increased from 105 1/3 innings to 171 1/3. He received a no-decision in his lone 2013 start against the Tigers, when he gave up five runs on seven hits through six innings on May 31 at Camden Yards.
Orioles: Versatile Schoop at second for now
While Jonathan Schoop can play virtually anywhere in the Baltimore infield, manager Buck Showalter prefers him at second base for the time being.
Schoop, rated the Orioles' No. 5 prospect by MLB.com, started Opening Day at second but said during spring camp that he would play where needed.
"I think it's second right now, but I don't know; whatever they need me to do," Schoop said. "I'm thinking about second base right now, but I'll be ready [elsewhere]."
The 22-year-old Curacao native went 1-for-3 with a strikeout on Opening Day.
Tigers: Cruz to display what may have been
Though Detroit had been rumored as a potential landing spot for power-hitting outfielder Nelson Cruz, he ultimately signed with the Orioles in February. Friday will be the Tigers' first look at Cruz since he left Texas, where he had spent his career since a quick stint with Milwaukee in 2005.
"We're happy with the way our club looks," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said when asked this offseason about the possibility of acquiring Cruz.
Cruz's bat could have fit into the Tigers' lineup to fill the power void left by the trade that sent Prince Fielder to Texas. Second baseman Ian Kinsler, the Tigers' return from that deal, has seen his power numbers decline the past two seasons, but he already has a homer this year.
By passing on Cruz, Detroit ultimately decided on a platoon system in left field between offseason signee Rajai Davis and Andy Dirks.
Worth noting
• Baltimore took the 2013 season series from Detroit, four games to two.
• The Tigers opted to skip Drew Smyly's start in the rotation following Thursday's rainout. Rick Porcello will pitch Saturday against Bud Norris, while Justin Verlander and Chris Tillman will duel in Sunday's finale.
• Alex Gonzalez, who won the game for Detroit on Opening Day with a walk-off base hit, came from Baltimore in a swap last month for utility man Steve Lombardozzi.

Mejia aims to build on sterling season debut vs. Fish
Marlins counter with Alvarez, who hasn't allowed a run in past two starts
The Mets weren't sure what to expect from Jenrry Mejia. The pitcher who once represented the future of the organization had battled injuries for the past three seasons and hadn't pitched on a Major League mound since last September.
The Mets simply needed a solid outing in the first game of Friday's doubleheader in Washington, but Mejia gave them even more than that.
Mejia pitched seven shutout innings against the Nationals, allowing seven hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. His performance was so good that he earned a spot as a starter in the Mets' new six-man rotation.
"Whatever they do, I've got to be fine," Mejia said after that start. "Keep my head up, never down, keep working hard and doing my job."
On Wednesday, he'll have the chance to do that when he pitches against the Marlins in the third game of a four-game set. The Mets have won the first two games of the series.
Mejia was a highly touted prospect in 2010, but arm trouble, including Tommy John surgery, hindered him for the next three years. Then he looked poised to return to the big leagues this season, but elbow inflammation sent him back to the disabled list toward the end of Spring Training.
But after a long road back that culminated with his start in Washington, Mejia could be a significant piece of the Mets' pitching landscape for a long time to come if he continues to pitch well.
While Mejia will be looking to continue his momentum, Henderson Alvarez will be trying to do the same as he takes the mound for the Marlins.
Alvarez hasn't allowed a run in his last two starts. His last outing came on Friday against Pittsburgh, and Alvarez allowed only two hits with one walk and five strikeouts over six innings, needing only 72 pitches.
And Alvarez threw so hard, even Miami manager Mike Redmond was surprised.
"I think his last outing was the most impressive," Redmond said. "Being able to run it up there 97, 98 mph -- I didn't know he had that. But I think, knowing himself, he's probably better equipped to pitch at 93, 94. But any time you got 98 and you can run it up there, that's nice to have in the tank."
Alvarez could've pitched even deeper into the game, but Redmond decided to pinch-hit for him in the sixth inning with Placido Polanco. The Marlins had the bases loaded with one out in a scoreless game.
Mets: Byrd likely not going anywhere
• As trade rumors continue to swirl, Mets outfielder Marlon Byrd has been the subject of speculation. He's put together a superb season that includes a team-leading 17 home runs, and has stabilized the middle of the Mets' lineup after Ike Davis' offensive struggles and Lucas Duda's stint on the DL.
Still, New York is looking to remain competitive in the second half of the season. It'll have a better chance of doing so if it holds on to Byrd.
"We're trying to win games here," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We're not just throwing the season away."
• Juan Lagares continued to stay hot at the plate with three hits and two RBIs in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Marlins on Tuesday night. He's hitting .369 with 14 RBIs in 21 games this month.
Marlins: Yelich goes hitless in leadoff spot debut
Redmond shuffled his lineup for Tuesday night's game, moving Christian Yelich up to the leadoff spot and Adeiny Hechavarria down to the No. 2 spot.
In his first game leading off for the Marlins, Yelich went 0-for-4.
Yelich was a leadoff hitter in the Minor Leagues, but was hitting second since being called up last week.
Redmond didn't rule out the possibility of moving the lineup around again.
Worth noting
After playing for 10 innings on Tuesday night, the Mets and Marlins have now played four extra-inning games this season. That includes a 20-inning and a 15-inning game. Miami has won three of those four games.

Was $99.95 NOW $49.95
These are the lady's 2"-high heel sandals that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a podiatrist-designed, lightweight EVA biomechanical footbed that supports each step from heel to toe for improved comfort. Covered in soft microfiber, the footbed's deep heel cups help align the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate, when the heel bone angles inward, a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. With each step, the footbed provides arch support for more even weight distribution and eases pressure on the ball of the foot with a contoured forefoot. The durable, flexible polyurethane braided uppers and toe post secure the foot to ensure comfort while the durable rubber outsoles' non-slip pattern ensures reliable footing. The orthotic footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the sandals are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Women's whole sizes. For half sizes, order the next size down. Metalized or Black. (6 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Lady's Plantar Fasciitis Wedge Sandals come with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge.

Great sandals for Plantar Fasciitis
By Hard to find shoes that are comfortable!
from St. Louis, MO
Love these sandals but a little hard to keep on your feet and run small. Make a slapping noise as you walk but great for heal pain.

Not as comfortable as the flat version
By Candace
from Winnipeg Canada
Unlike the flat version (I have several pairs of the flats), these are not nearly as comfortable when walking any distance. Because they are wedges, your foot is pushed forward as you walk, and the strap in between the toes cuts in as a result. Will likely return because of this.
Nice shoes; get the next half-size up
By J Lo
from Maryland
These (and all the other ortho sandals for PF on the HS site) are just terrific. No longer do my feet ache and hurt after a long day of walking. I saw on the site they said to order a half-size down, if you are between sizes. That has been true for all the ortho sandals except this one. These feel just a bit too small, maybe because of the wedge heel. I'd go the next size up, if you're between sizes.
Did not work for me, but looks great!
By Susan
from Lancaster, PA
I liked the shoe, but after one wear, the footbed which is a type of suede or microfiber did not give me traction and was slippery.
Excellent sandals
By N/A
from Lahaina, HI
I walk to work, stand for about 6 hours a day and feel great. Color also matches my clothing and I have received many compliments.
Fun and Edgie
By Dilbert Girl
from Washington DC
No one would know that you have Plantar Fasciitis support sandal--they look like a normal, attactive, sandal.
Great shoe

Good shoes
Classy and Comfortable!
By GiGi
from Friendswood, TX
Great shoe for someone who has suffered with plantar fasciitis!
Great looking shoes with a purpose
By Lena
from Strongsville, Ohio
I had to return the shoes because they were unsuitable for my foot. They were suitable for my eyes, but unfortunately I didn't have the foot for it. Wishful thinking. This was my first experience with Hammacher Schlemmer and I found it to be very pleasant. Customer Service was prompt and courteous.
Very comfortable sandals
By Mom2Colin
from Suburban Chicago
Very comfortable sandals. I have a hard time wearing sandals because of my plantar fascitis, but these are very comfortable and, at the end of the day, my feet don't hurt!

Il faut necessaire qui les journalistes de the Economist réfléchir un peu et regarder dans le miroir.
Even the best British journalists live on an island where the 19th century never ended. If they travel abroad they try to confirm their prejudices.France n'est pas Angleterre, qui est un pais avec moins de terres arables et des ressources naturelles. France est le paie qui a le plus grand nombre d'arrivées de touristes. La santé d'économique français est mieux que lequel d'angleterre.
France is not the UK, who is up at the corner at Europe. They should be grateful that their government didn't partake in the Eurozone experiment, otherwise Britain, not Greece would be largest casualty of this crisis.
France has not have any quarter since the end of 2009 or start of 2010. UK itself is reverting in and out of quarterly downturns and recoveries since 2008. The economist is just spilling out its foolish doctrine of Free markets, Pro Business, Pro Rich, Anti Government Intervention which dominate Anglo-Saxon Economic Models. They just cannot fathom that countries with "deviant" economic models like China, the Emerging Economies, or even France can suceed while UK is on the brink of another possible quarterly contraction. They belief that someday, somehow, these countries would fail to understand the need to adopt the Anglo-Saxon model after a serious downturn. Yet, it's the Pax Britannica that is losing out here, and their media are bashing up countries elsewhere like in the Eurozone to divert the attention of the spreading malaise to other vunerable economies

Spinning Gear
Application ID: 407
One way to fasten a gear to a shaft is by thermal interference. In preparation of the assembly, the shaft diameter is oversized and the gear thermally expanded in a heat-treating oven. At an appropriate expansion state, the gear is removed from the oven, slid onto the shaft, and allowed to cool.
As the gear temperature drops, the gear shrinks and comes into contact with the shaft before it reaches its original shape. From this point on, additional gear shrinkage results in hoop stresses in the gear as well as normal compression of the shaft. At thermal equilibrium, a bond between the two components is reached.
Such an assembly can operate safely in many situations. However, there are operating conditions under which the fastening stresses become insufficient - for instance, when spinning the assembly at high RPM.
The goal of this analysis is to determine the critical spinning frequency at which gear and shaft separate. It is done through a parametric analysis and an optimization study.
