You can zoom in real close to make sure you don't miss any details, and while painting (or erasing) the mask, a little box pops up in the corner so you can see precisely where your finger is placed on the photo. Very cool.
Powerful, creative and intuitive application to keep everyone amazed with your photography.

- Masking - paint with effects
- Color Splash Tool
- Import from Facebook
- Share to Instagram and other popular social networks
The update includes:
- Masking Studio: apply effects to any part of the image
- Color splash tool: apply selective colors to the image
- 7 new effects, including 3-D filter
- Performance improvements - with some filters 2X faster processing
- Improved editing tools: gamma, saturation, hues, etc
- Improved in-app camera
- Possibility to import images from Facebook
- Instagram sharing
- Centering for Tilt Shift, Radial Blur effects

App Giveaway: FX Photo Studio HD
i have about 2,200 pics waiting to be edited with FX Photo Studio HD. Many feature my late grandmother.
I have about 70 on the ipad, 300 on dropbox, a lot of them already edited with other apps, I love editing!!
I have 1,232!! And 1,232 photos that are in desperate need of a little something extra! Without FX Studio, I'll be forced to move them all back to my laptop! :(
I keep my camera roll pretty clean since I take a lot of pictures. Currently is has 42 but I take about 30 a week, edit them and add them to galleries.
Have a number of apps, but not really big on most of them. Looking for something for my pic. I have about 1000, now on the iPad, and am constantly adding.
5 photos on my iPad, god knows how many on my iPhone waiting so be sent over (thank you camera kit!) and probably 100+ sent to my Mac that I would rather edit on my iPad anywhere than sit in my office/studio editing on a desktop machine. I need more instagram fodder!
100's. Have a 6 month old grand baby so that number is climbing! I need to work the FX magic on some photos.
I have 50+ waiting because I am guilty of snapping 4-5 shots of the same item just so i can review them and pick which shot out of the bunch is the best for Instagram :)
I usually have about 200 photos at a time. Then I pull them all off and start again. Thanks for the giveaways!
I have 256 pics on my iPad that need the sunshine of the edition of FX Photo Studio to really shine outside, on the daylight.
I'm a photographer and I think it would be fun to do a photoshoot and edit the photos solely on my iPad. Hmm, I think 20-30 photos would be a good start!
This one is a perfect app for every photographer and even for a the people who likes to take photo and add some fabulous effects!

Promoting the Greatest Canadian Love Story
Santi/ Splash
We have so much to be proud of here in Canada. Earlier this year, Chris Hadfield was a maple leaf badass up in space. Last week, one of our most treasured writers, Alice Munro, won the Nobel Prize in Literature. And now… Now Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, newlyweds, are promoting their new single/her new album/their relationship/I'm not sure. Full Story
Nicole Kidman & Jackie Chan
FameFlynet, Lam Yik Fei/ Getty
Random combination, right? But we've been following China's increasing influence in film. Two weeks ago, Kidman was in China at the Wanda Group's announcement of an $8.2 million film production studio along with Leonardo DiCaprio and several other high profile celebrities. Hollywood needs money. Full Story
The First Couple of Canadian Music – a wedding in black

The First Couple of Canadian music marry on Canada Day
Oh Canada Our home and native land… Today we celebrate our nation's birthday… by celebrating the love of our nation's, um, most musical couple. Throw up two fingers and a thumb, turn it backwards, stick out your tongue, and let out a Hell Yeah. Or, you know, don't. Full Story
The First Couple of Canadian Music at the MMVAs
Jag Gundu/ Getty
The MuchMusic Video Awards happened last night in Toronto. And our Canadian pride and joy, our answer to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, blessed the occasion with a lot of leather, a lot of extensions, and a spiked crown. Avril performed at the event and won an award. Chad did not perform as he was only there to support his future wife, without his bandmates. Full Story
The anthem of the First Canadian Couple of Music
Avril Lavigne, who will soon marry Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, has released a new song. It's called Here's To Never Growing Up. Avril told Ryan Seacrest that Here's To Never Growing Up is: "…a pop rock tune. And it's just about being young, having fun, being present, living in the moment and that's what I love to do.

Sailor Girl and a Walking Penis
Avril Lavigne went out for Halloween without fiancé Chad Kroeger last night. I'm sure he enjoyed her costume at home. That sentence was intended to make you dry heave. Like, she's agreed to marry Chad Kroeger. If you're not dry heaving I need you to think about this and get back to me in 10 seconds. Full Story
Blanket Watch
FlynetUK /FAMEFLYNET, KCS /Splash News
You know how I feel about BumpWatch: it's an insufferably unreliable form of gossip reporting and besides, how can we argue about promoting healthy body types when we accuse women of pregnancy if they migrate healthily from a size 0 to a size 2? Blanket Watch on the other hand... Blanket Watch, as non-physical camouflage, now that might be a more accurate gossip indicator. Full Story
The First Couple of Canadian Music = the new TomKat?
Remember when Tom Cruise used to "present" Katie Holmes? Click here for a refresher. I loved that move. I loved how oblivious he was to how dorky he looked. I love how cheesy it came off in a way that was so incompatible with his fame rank. Full Story
The First Couple Of Canadian Music
As every Canadian cringes... Come on. They're perfect for each other. You don't even have to think about it for that long -- Avril Lavigne and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger make sense. Look at her. Look at him. They finally found each other. They are getting married. It happened while they were working together on her new album. Full Story

Y'know- I am tired of being alone! I am tired of having to do it all.... I am tired of wanting to go get coffee with someone or go to a movie and having to make 1000 phone calls (exaggeration) before and if I find someone to go with. And yes I do often go by myself and thats fine but I want someone to go with. And I want to know that there is someone I can go with.
Y'know what? I want a boyfriend. I want intimacy.
I have been in recovery for a year and I just feel kind of- clean and I want to share myself with someone.
There I said it....thats whats real for me.
I dont remember how.....God has this, in His timing- and I'm ready!

For any natural number n

The following is a theorem (though it takes some effort, including lemmas, to get ACL2 to prove it):
(equal (length (take n l)) (nfix n))If
is is an integer greater than the length of l
, then
pads the list with the appropriate number of nil

(implies (and (integerp n) (true-listp l) (<= (length l) n)) (equal (take n l) (append l (make-list (- n (length l))))))For related functions, see nthcdr and see butlast.
The guard for (take n l)
is that n

and l

text: the way you irritate yourself just because someone post a post concerning Kakashi that you don't like makes me laugh. If you try to argue calmly without trying everytime to bash the character Kakashi because he is non-Uchiha possessing your beloved Sharingan, you will notice something. Well at least he unlocked something that majority of Uchihas could not even dream to unlock in their entire life. Like it or not, but mangafact says that Kakashi masters Sharingan better than your beloved Sasuke:

Someone should tell these guys about textures...
Phoronix: A New Linux Game To Try And Benchmark
While most of the native Linux games that can be easily automated are built atop the id Tech engine or some spin-off there of the open-source id Tech 2/3/4 engines, here's something new to play with this weekend. There's also some early results to explore...
Someone should tell these guys about textures...
Really ugly :/
holy crap that looks ugly.
the lack of texturing is not the worst part. rather it's the lack of visually consistent style and imagination.
The AMD opensource driver looks like crap!
Why do all the negative type posters seem to need an RSS feed?
The game uses cell shading looking textures and looks better than the screenshots used on Phoronix. http://corebreach.corecode.at/CoreBreach/Pictures.html
The CoreBreach creator always responds politely, has now helped out Phoronix, and wants to open source his game after enough sales. Hopefully the people who tried to back Gravitaz on Kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...itaz?ref=users or were hoping for Impulse to be released http://www.indiedb.com/games/impulse will get behind CoreBreach.
Any idea what is going on with DRM? They say "DRM Free (Unlimited activations)" but of course activations are a form of DRM so that is contradictory. I also don't see a way of paying Core directly and downloading from them. I don't want yet another account on yet another service and be restricted to getting the game and updates that way.
This game has no kind of physics. It's pure bullshit. The object isn't even flying.
I WOULD BUY 5 TIMES WIPEOUT (any version) RATHER THAN THIS SHIT. We have to be honest sometimes. Another piece of crap that runs under Linux. Why do they even bother.
Oh well, that is all moot. They have the same issue many games do which is if you are using multiple monitors they insist on using the total screen area to display. You can make it display in a window but can't resize the window. The net result is that the game is completely unplayable for me. (There is something in the settings to set the full screen size, but the only choice is the size of both my monitors added together.)
I don't think the problem is the lack of textures, but rather the lack of detail. On some pictures showing the whole track it actually looks very good, but up close it doesn't: at any one time there's a single uniform flat surface filling 50-70% of the screen. It looks poor and unfinished, but with a bit more modeling or texture work it has potential.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Looks like ~30% of those polled are pretentious jerks.
How about a tasting for the scotch drinkers?
I'd love to make a 68.8% of people must be Republican since they're voting against their own interests joke, then I remember it's never wise to mix alcohol and politics (crack and politics is fine if you live in D.C. though) and that I identify as mainly Republican on a lot of fiscal issues.
The funny thing about this is that in my experience, the last 2 years have seen boorish beer enthusiasts becoming more pretentious/snobby than boorish wine enthusiasts. Of course, enthusiasts of either beverage that are not boors are generally not pretentious and are indeed often interesting and cultured people.
I was going to finish the sentence with "Drunk." Oh well...
c. Folks who really enjoy wine

High degree of self awareness?Not us of course, you're not a jerk if you're naturally awesome.
I probably would have answered (B) before I became a wine enthusiast myself. From the outside looking in, wine fanciers seem like the Grey Poupon crowd. We tend to stereotype those who are not like us - it's so easy to do and (unfortunately) generally accepted among the masses. Not that I care what anyone else thinks. They're all a bunch of liberal conservative jesus freak atheists!

Feather River softball advances to Super Regionals
5/5/2010 - Seeded 10th in this year's regional playoffs, the Feather River College softball team traveled to seventh-seeded Ohlone College last weekend and won in two games, 10-5 and 7-6.
This advances FRC to the Super Regional Tournament at Sacramento City College this Friday through Sunday, May 7-9. The four-team, double-elimination tournament will determine who goes to the California State Finals.
College of the Siskiyous and College of the Sequoias are the other two teams competing in the Super Regional Tournament with FRC and Sac City.
Feather River College and College of the Siskiyous tied for first place in the Golden Valley Conference this season.
When the Golden Eagles traveled south to take on the Ohlone Renegades last weekend, FRC proved to be more than the Renegades could handle.
The Golden Eagles offense dominated Ohlone pitcher Jessica Varady, who was named the pitcher of the year in the Coast-North Conference.
"It was a great weekend for us," said FRC coach Josh Taylor. "We hit the you-know-what out of the ball. We were pretty amazing. It was fun to watch."
In game one, Feather River pounded out 14 hits in the 10-5 victory. The offense was led by Dani Ming, who started the game with a stand up triple. Through the game, Ming totaled three hits, three runs scored and one RBI.
Alisha Perry also registered three hits, including a triple to lead off the third inning.
The Golden Eagles offense finally knocked the wind out of the Renegades in the sixth inning, when Brittany Potter stepped to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded in a tight 5-4 game.
Potter got behind in the count 0-2 before delivering a line drive that bounced off the left centerfield wall. The double scored three runners and was the only offense pitcher Erica Wieck needed, as she went on to win the game 10-5.
Other notable Feather River standouts included Leah Justice (one hit, one RBI and two runs); Chelsea Venable (two hits, two RBIs and one run) and Shelby Watts (two hits and one run).
"These young ladies have worked extremely hard to get to this point, and they went out and took it from Ohlone today," said Taylor.
Game two began with the Golden Eagles offense once again jumping out to an early lead.
Dani Ming led the game off with a double, Leah Justice walked, then Brittany Potter and Chelsea Venable also doubled. Before Ohlone had a chance to take a deep breath, the Golden Eagles were on top 3-0.
Feather River added another run in the second inning on a Leah Justice double.
Ohlone answered back in the fourth inning, cutting the Golden Eagles lead to 4-3.
In the top of the fifth inning, Ohlone's Varady appeared to find her groove from the pitchers circle, as she retired Justice and Potter on two routine fly outs, but then Chelsea Venable kept the inning alive with a solid single to left.
That brought third baseman Shelby Watts to the plate. After taking the first pitch, Watts deposited the second over the leftfield fence for a two-run home run that gave Feather River a 6-3 lead.
Once again, the resilient Renegades of Ohlone College answered back, tying the game in the bottom of the sixth inning.
However, Feather River once again had an answer, as Brittany Potter delivered with a towering solo home run to right field in the seventh inning to give the Golden Eagles an emotional 7-6 victory.
FRC pitcher Annalee Rubio battled the entire game, going seven innings while striking out seven and walking none.
"I am very proud of the accomplishments of this year's team," said Taylor. "They believe in themselves and each other. We are looking forward to heading to Sacramento to play in the super regionals next weekend."
The Golden Eagles will open against Sacramento City College this Friday, May 7, at 2 p.m.

Great product at a good price

"Bought some of these for the kids - they seem to be holding up well in the first two weeks - they are easy to fill and clean because of the wide mouth and the lid is attached so it doesn't get lost. The cleanability seems to be it's most enduring quality, as we've wrestled with that in other bottles. All in all, I recommend it to anyone (friend or foe)!"

"Nice bottle for the price. The lid is attached via strap so I haven't lost it like my other bottles. I have not put it in the dishwasher, I just soak it or use listerine to clean it. If you do soak it, do not leave it in the water overnight as the lid may rust."

ATI is aware of AGP issues and they will be resolved in the very near future.
Need to keep this topic alive, this is a serious issue!
How long till the new driver?
Has anyone reported this error to ATI or do they read though phoronix on lunch breaks or something? :P
P.S. I believe its "Rialto" not Realto, might be helpful to change the topic title. (oliver?)

ATI is aware of AGP issues and they will be resolved in the very near future.
Well I can't see if this is fixed because of an entirely seperate PreInitDAL failed error:
Anyone with an AGP card got 7.12 working? It would be nice to know if Rialto cards now work!
I'm off for hollidays, so I won't be able to test it till 28 or 29th of december.
i'm excited ;-)
my tests will start if i'm done with work, i think in one to two hours.
Looks like the interrupt issue in 7.12 is fixed! No more interrupt errors, and X doesn't lock-up when I logout or ctrl-alt-bkspc

The interrupt issues are gone...yippiiee :-)
But now, i'm sitting here without 3d acceleration, cause of 'Failed to remmap MC AGP aperture base!'
further testing will be slightly delayed ;-)
Edit: fixed the aperture base error by setting agp aperture size from 512MB to 256MB

July 22, 2010 - by Moshe BildnerTwo major pieces of legislation moved forward yesterday, as the President signed the financial regulation bill H.R. 4173, and the Senate passed an unemployment insurance extension H.R. 4213, by a vote of 59-39. Here's what's going on in Congress:
- Democrats in the Senate finally broke a Republican filibuster and proceeded to pass H.R. 4213, a fourth unemployment insurance extension; the bill still must be voted on by the House and signed by the President before it becomes law. (Christian Science Monitor)
- Testifying to Congress, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke called the economic outlook "unusually uncertain", and announced that the Fed would keep in place all financial stabilization measures it has taken since the 2008 financial crisis. (CNN)
- President Obama signed into law sweeping new financial regulations in H.R. 4173, ending a quest that had begun as early as 2007. Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R, OH-8) attacked the bill, offering his now-standard call to repeal the new legislation. (AP)
- Congressional Democrats are divided over proposals for new energy legislation; liberal members are pushing to enact a comprehensive energy and climate change bill, while more conservative members, worried that a large energy bill cannot get through congress before the November elections, are urging Congress to consider smaller piecemeal energy reforms. (Politico.com)
- Feeling pressure from its Gulf oil spill, BP increased its spending on lobbyists to $1.7 million this quarter. (Bloomberg)
- The Congressional Tea Party Caucus was officially launched Wednesday by a group of Republicans led by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R, MN-6). (Washington Post)
- The "Miscellaneous Tariff" bill passed the House easily, despite earlier opposition from Republicans. (Associated Press)

According to the official, the projects will be part of a five- year, 7.5-billion-dollar aid package approved by U.S. Congress last year, which hopes to temper anti-Americanism in Pakistan by building schools, infrastructure and democratic institutions. pakistan can get this money with no problems. the American people cant get help to feed their kids. WHY!!
As I pack my boxes to move for the 2nd time during this depression, moving because I lost my job! I was actually pulling myself up by my bootstraps with news of the extension this morning putting one foot in front of the other to keep my "chin up" but it is news like this on my coffee break from packing that makes me LIVID!!! Is congress gone mute already?! It seems they have developed a serious case of "not being able to hear again!!!" Thank you for letting me vent. I will finish my coffee and packing… :[
Exactly……Just because we used our 99 weeks we shouldn't be hungry any more? We Don't need to Pay Our Bills? Common Congress, What about us 99 weekers? There still are NO jobs in California where the Unemployment Rate is STILL 12.4% Yet Nothing For Us…….And if you are without Dependants you cant get help from the welfare to help with your bills, though I did pay enough to help all the lazy people who did not want a job, but have 5-20 kids on welfare. No I guess they expect me to survive on 132.00 a month in food stamps. well ok, I will go live under the bridge with all the other homeless while OUR tax dollars go to other countries and to the ILLEGALS that everyone says have "civil rights" Thanx

hahahahaha! WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT!! NO!! :)
so like when will the bill for unemployment get to the president to sign and when he does sign how long will it take before we see a check (benefits)? hopfully not long because i would probably lose everything else just like my damn car. hopefully they make this quick and we at least see something in te mail next week r so!
@syfy1985 The president will get the bill as soon as the house finishes it debate either late this afternoon or tomorrow, check out www.c-span.org for updates on debate. According to Texas Workforce (Texas Unemployment Office) website once the president signs the bill into law it will be 7 to 10 days for Texas recipients. I suggest you contact your unemployment office directly to find out if what they need from you in order to update your account with them and keep your benefits coming. I would call them now don't wait as their phones will be very busy once this bill is signed.
@ comments5647 and @ syfy1985.. the House is wrapping up an hour of debate now and then will move to vote on the measure. So we should have a vote within the next hour or so. The President is prepared to sign it immediately there after.
i have a question…i just finished tier 3 which is 73 weeks of unemployment yet texas workforces website says that we do have a tier of EB which is up to an additional 20 weeks….sign Bush signed that into law do we qualify for this tier?
It depends on your state and what their process is. Some states have been very good and have prepared. Some however have not. I live in MA and here it could be 2-4 weeks. I read in todays paper that NY and PA will be next week. North Carolina will be approx 6 weeks. It comes down to computer systems.. What computer system your state runs will determine it.. If they run Cobalt it leads to longer delays. Thats what my state runs.. If anyone from MA reads this and has better info than I have please feel free to email me at email@example.com
I agree syfy..it was passed on Tuesday…its now Thursday…why is it taking so long to see it through to the end? When a bill is passed by the Senate…it shouldnt be 'back-burnered' while they discuss other bills. Don't move on until the bill is law. Americans are tired of waiting; our patience has dwindled away.
ok does anyone donny shaw or somebody know how long they are going to stall the passage of this bill again. god help me i am thinking some bad things of our goverment right now. we need to get a new bill to our constitution where the unemployment is considered an emergency like hurricanes or national desasters. where the money is there within days. this is bullshit how they are treating us on both sides. this should not even be a debate. the oil people in the south got unemployment immediatly. im so frustrated right now thenks for letting me vent. god please get this bill passed and new extensions put forward for the 99ers as well. we are so down right now that we cant get any lower. our hands are up please help us today. amen
@seanurse The president will get the bill as soon as the house finishes it debate either late this afternoon or tomorrow, check out www.c-span.org for updates on debate.

i can't stand politics and how they are fighting to be able to give us the money that we need and deserve to SURVIVE only because the two parties disagree where the money should come from. while these two parties fight about where the money comes from, WE'RE LOOSING EVERYTHING! i can't support my family as a full time college student serving tables. we need this bill to pass so my mom is able to bring in money to pay our rent. we are not asking you to help us pay our bills for the rest of the our lives. we just need help NOW! i feel for the other Americans that are worse off than us and not even able to put food on the table for their children and i'm sending many prayers for you. God will help us get through these hard times and the future can only get better. tons of love!
So While they debate are they going to call all the bill collectors and explain to them?
@Godisgreat44 you are right GOD will see us through this. The old saying goes God helps those that help them selfs, well lets all help ourself in November by ELECTING someone else obviously this group of leaders DONT CARE !!!!!!!
i completely agree. i'm just now understanding how politics work. but all i know and trust is that God will help those who asks for help and trust him and love him. we all just need bind together and support each other.
I agree with you comments 5647, what about the 99ers. Congress acts as though this group of unemployed Americans are a disease. I myself have received 52 weeks and there isn't a job even looming in my future. I am in my mid-thirties so I can say I am not experiencing the discrimination the 55+ club are currently dealing with…but there aren't any jobs that show the slightest bit of interest right now. I have a bachelors degree in business and was making 50k, but now….there isn't a position in sight. Is this America?
I soon will be joining the 99ers…congress won't be happy until something drastic happens from the angry mob of people that can no longer feed their children.
We have to vote these people out!!! Ben Nelson wants to know how the bill will be paid for….well why don't he take a pay cut!!!!! He was quoted as saying unemployment is not an emergency unless we can pay for it. Well be the leader Ben…take a 10% pay cut along with your Republican friends! TRAITOR$$$$$
Thank God for Ed keeping our voices heard!
WOW! This Ed is courageous, tough, honest, smart, and direct. He said everything that needed to be said about what is happening to Americans and our country (minus the 1% top wealthy). WHAT A NEWS CLIP!
I regret missed it during original airing, but thanks to you Melissammm12, and opencongress.org, I not only watched Ed's Fired Up with incredible facts, I have shared this with all my friends and family.
The vote is taking place at this very moment!!
you can watch them vote here
http://www.cspan.org/Watch/C-SPAN.aspxThe problem is not just the politicians, unfortunately, it is our fellow Americans. As I mention last week, don't ever read the comments on the Huffington Post, because they will make your blood boil. People calling us lazy, entitled, leeches, drug addicts, etc. A lot of people seem to think we're getting rich while not working. One "compassionate" fellow said, "If you can't find a job after 99 weeks, you are unemployable and should give up on life". No one seems to understand there just plain aren't enough jobs to go around, they think we're all kickin it on a beach in the Caribbean.
I will never again read a Dickens novel and think, "How could people treat each other like that?", because we are about to live in Dickensian times yet again. Perhaps Congress should make indentured servitude legal again and be done with it. You know some of them would love to.
it's difficult for people to understand the unemployment and job issue if they've never dealt with poverty themselves. i will never understand why americans think that we are lazy or we're going after WELFARE so we can sit on our butts and receive money. the east coast is not cheap and we're lucky to even still have the internet (who keeps popping up messages, threatening to turn it off). how can we be drug addicts? we don't even have the money to purchase the good drugs, lol just kidding :)
Hahaha! GodisGreat44, but I am an addict! I'm addicted to food in my stomach, electricity in my home, gas in my car, and a roof over my head.
BTW, my own personal theory is that some people are jealous and bitter, BECAUSE they think collecting unemployment is living on easy street. They want to get "paid" not to "work", and live the high life like they think we do. Little do they know that we barely get "paid" enough to get by.
Oh, and don't try to tell them that all the unemployed people are getting unemployment insurance because when we worked, we and our jobs paid into it, and we are simply getting our money back. It confuses their tiny little brains, and they just hurl more insults at you.
I ain't livin no high life. I have enough to keep water , electrity and rent. I can buy some food and allow internet so I can look for a job. I sell things and clean houses for gas money and food for my dogs. "living" on unemployment ain't " living" it is exsiting.
THE VOTE IS COMPLETE!!! The BILL HAS PASSED AND NOW GOES TO PRESIDENT FOR SIGNATURE!! PLEASE GOD HELP THE STATES IMPLEMENT THIS IMMEDIATELY AND PAY US ALL!!!

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
General Screening Guidelines
At this time, routine screening for Lyme disease is not recommended if you have no symptoms.
The following diagnostic tests may be used in certain situations, such as when a person has no symptoms, but has had an attached tick for some length of time (48 hours or more).
Diagnostic Tests
Antibodies are the body's defense against an infection. If you have been infected with the Lyme disease bacteria, your body will make specific antibodies to fight it. It takes about four weeks or more for these antibodies to become detectable. Examples include:
- Antibody titer (ELISA or IFA)—This test measures the level of Lyme disease antibodies in the blood.
- Western blot —This test detects the presence of specific antibodies to Lyme disease in the blood and supports the ELISA test results
Both of these tests can have false negative results (the test is negative even though you are infected) or false positive results (the test is positive even though you are not infected).
Reasons why false negatives may occur include:
- The test is performed too soon after infection.
- Too few or no antibodies are made.
- The test is performed incorrectly.
Reasons why false positives may occur include:
- The test is performed incorrectly.
- Your immune system produces unrelated antibodies, which appear on the test as if they were produced in response to Lyme disease.
These tests look directly for the bacteria, or pieces of it, in the blood and other fluids of the body, such as urine and spinal fluid. Two main types are:
Antigen detection tests—These look for a unique protein from the Lyme disease bacteria that may be in body fluids. This test is useful for detecting Lyme disease in certain situations, such as:
- If you are taking antibiotics
- During a later flare-up of symptoms
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)—This test can multiply the number of pieces of the bacteria in the test fluid, making it easier to detect.

Exclusive Hockey Equipment Retailer of USA Hockey
All orders over $75 receive free ground shipping in total purchases. This is automatically calculated when you complete your order. Please keep in mind that this only applies to normal ground delivery within the 48 contiguous United States. Standard shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. Territories are not eligible.
Delivery date estimates appear when you are selecting a shipping method while ordering. Once you have placed an order, you will receive a "Confirmation" email indicating we have received your order, a "Processed" email saying we have found the items you want and are packing them, and a "Shipped" email with a tracking number indicating that you have been charged and the item has shipped.
Please Note: You will receive a "Shipped" email with a tracking number from us at the time UPS takes your package. The number is not actively tracking your package until UPS logs the package at their central hub.
Below is an estimate from UPS for ground shipping times from St. Louis, Missouri.
There are a variety of options for delivery. Please note that the times in the delivery description (e.g. "Next Day Air") only describe the carrier's time frame once they have picked up your order. "Next Day Air" does not necessarily mean you will get your equipment the day after you place your shipping method if standard shipping is faster. For instance, if standard shipping would take two days and you chose "Three Day Select," we reserve the right to use standard shipping.
We don't estimate. We don't average. We don't round up. The cost of shipping for you is the cost of shipping for us. If your order is under $25 or you want a faster delivery option, we charge you the same amount it costs us based on weight and size.
Shipping costs depend on the delivery method. We always try to group items for shipping to reduce the cost to you. If we have to divide a shipment because of unexpected/unreasonable delays in a specific item, we will ship that item separately at no additional cost to you.
How much does shipping cost?
Orders over $75 ship for free to the contiguous 48 states! If your order is under $75 or you require faster delivery service, we will give you the exact shipping charges based on the method of delivery you select. We don't estimate. We don't average. We don't round up. Shipping rates for equipment are based on weight and size specific to your order. These charges reflect the cost to us of getting your equipment to you.
Do you ship internationally?
Unfortunately, we are strictly prohibited from shipping Warrior, Easton, Bauer/Mission, and Reebok/CCM products internationally due to their company policies. We would be happy to ship these items to a friend or relative in United States.
Why did only half my order arrive?
Ultimately, there are two reasons for that. One, if you ordered a lot of gear or items that don't easily fit in the same box, then your order might have shipped in separate boxes and the other box(es) haven't arrived. The other reason would be if an item from your order is on back order. We try to ship you what we can as fast as we can so we will always ship the rest of your order immediately and send the back ordered item when it arrives.

Light crispy crunchy, and deeply satisfying snack food. Artfully crafted in an eighteen step process that takes over 48 hours. Baked, Eden tamari misted, and baked again. Awarded the prestigious Gold Medal at the All Japan Confectionery Exposition. No artificial ingredients or oil. Gluten free.
Eden Brown Rice Crackers are made in Japan and artfully crafted in an 18 step process. Brown rice and the prized grain Job's tears (Coix lachryma-jobi) are first ground into flour and blended with black sesame seeds. This mixture is lightly steamed, formed into a dough and kneaded. The dough is placed in special cracker molds and baked several times over 48 hours using low heat. When thoroughly light and crisp the crackers are lightly misted with traditionally brewed tamari soy sauce. Oven baking a final time hardens the delicious glaze, producing a very crunchy and deeply nourishing snack.
Eden Brown Rice Crackers were awarded the prestigious Gold Medal at the All Japan Confectionery Exposition, an accomplishment acknowledging the sophistication and craftsmanship they embody.
Eden Brown Rice Crackers provide great food value and delicious flavor. They contain no artificial colors, flavorings or preservatives. Most crackers are made with highly refined and bleached flour, hydrogenated oil (trans fats), harsh salt, refined sugar and preservatives. Eden Crackers are made without oil, are low in fat, contain no saturated fat and are wheat free.
Serve Eden Brown Rice Crackers with your favorite bean, vegetable, or tofu dip, with fish pate', or with your favorite chunky salsa. They are especially delicious with a slice of cucumber or apple as a topping. Try them with apple butter, nut butter or fruit spread. Light, crispy and satisfying crackers packed with flavor.

About the Teleseminar For most LLCs, the single most important document they will ever need is their operating agreement. A carefully drafted operating agreement provides a stable framework for the LLC's members to start, grow and operate a business, and in certain instances facilitate the withdrawal of members of the ownership group. The operating agreement defines the business relationships among the members, operationally and financially, and provides for the valuation and transfer of interests. A good operating agreement saves LLC members considerable time and money in the long-run. It's also a very complex document involving the deepest complexities of tax and business law. This program will provide you with a real-world guide to drafting and reviewing the major provisions of LLC operating agreements, including major financial and tax provisions.

Ill try wine version today and give some reports.
Ill try wine version today and give some reports.
I have desktop with NVidia graphics GTX275, i7-920 and have freezes at start game for 5-10 sec when opened internet browser, sometimes it freeze all platform and need hard reset. But in game no regression fps.
On laptop i have Radeon Mobility 5650, i3-370 and have regression fps, with wine i have shadows artifacts, in mswindos in 2 times better fps
PS: GPU accelerated applications = problem with other direct rendered applications?!
i do not have shadow artifacts... my windows clind run perfect in wine... try to turn of stuff like "AI" in the CCC...
the 2 times better fps isn't windows its the windows clind i do have 2 time better fps in wine with the windows clind on linux.
its just the OpenGL clind! the OpenGL renderer is broken by design! '
yes i do have massiv mouse input lag if i use firefox gpu acceleration or flash gpu acceleration if you turn of this stuff it runs better!
LOL they delete my forum post... shame on you heroes of newerth team!
if you write the true thats the hon linux clind is a joke then you will be pawnd!

they delete my rights to write in there linux/support forum LOL
Last edited by Qaridarium; 09-03-2011 at 05:37 PM.
That thread was deleted because it isn't a support question. It was essentially an antagonistic post.
That kind of thing is meant for in GD or suggestions (ie improve the ogl renderer)
posting in the techsupport section is meant for if/when you require actual support because something your end isn't working and something your end can't be tweaked. NOTHING your end will change the renderer implementation and thus since such a thread doesn't belong in tech it was deletedhi i benchmark the nativ linux clind vs the windows clind in wine.
nativ linux clind=29fps
windows clind in wine=64fps..
even the graphic are much more advance in the windows clind in wine!
Shame on you "Linux-nativ-Support"
so how about posting that topic in GD rather than being a dick and fucking around in the techsupport section, a section&topic only you would have been able to reply to :arma:
the tech support forum was the right place because: its the solution for ALL linux clind problems.
and ths solution is: just drop the linux clind if the windows clind in wine works better.
thats not anti linux thats a pro linux statement!
its anti linux to suggest an bad linux solution!
i proof it! not LINUX is the bad its the HON-linux-Clind !
and no its not an OpenGL problem! because wine translate the directX into OpenGL!
its the proof that the hon-linux-clind is just bad!
my point is simple: drop the Linux clind or make sure it brings the same good result as the windows clind in wine!
a nativ linux clind is a lie if it brings only a worst result and makes the Linux feeling bad!
telling the true is not a antagonistic post!
you are a liar if you telling this to me.
telling the true about the nativ linux clind support is not a suggestion!
maybe telling to drop the linux clind is a suggestion.
but i do not tell to drop the linux clind.
LOL what isn't working? the linux-nativ-clind isn't working because: it brings not the same good result as the windows clind the windows clind brings better graphic and more than double fps speed!
in my point of view its not a suggestion its a technical statement!
except there is ZERO what techsupport can do to improve it, thus it does not belong in the techsupport forum.
you can't have any dissussion there since it is between tech and the OP only.
A technical statement with no client-side, user-instigated fix.
and as such your point of view is flawed
open the thread in GD
sure they can !
They can tell every single linux-customer to use the windows clind in wine! because they are unable to dev a completive openGL-nativ-linux-clind.
don't worry they already get the message.
and if you are fight against incapable and incompetence any words are useless.
I get 42fps with my radeon 6670 1GB + Q9450 and 8GB ddr2
the fps drops to 29fps with FF running
linux native with fglrx
2048x1536 all AA/AF settings maxed out in amdcccle (in game says no AA so not sure about that)
Performance seems reasonable to me

Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With HIV-Associated Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cisplatin together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for cervical cancer.
PURPOSE: This trial studies how well cisplatin and radiation therapy work in treating participants with HIV-associated locally advanced cervical cancer.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Cervical Cancer Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome |
Drug: cisplatin Radiation: external beam radiation therapy |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Feasibility Study of Safety, Toxicity, and Compliance of Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy for HIV-Associated Locally-Advanced Cervical Cancer |
- Treatment completion rate using the binomial proportion and its 95% confidence interval [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Adverse events as graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) version 4.0 will be tabulated [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 45 |
Study Start Date: | April 2014 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | October 2016 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | October 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Cistplatin and Radiation Therapy
Cisplatin 40 mg/m2 (max = 70 mg) IV over 30-60 minutes given weekly on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 and 36 for a total of 6 weekly cycles. Radiation therapy over 8 weeks: External pelvic radiation therapy (41.4-45.0 Gy/1.8 Gy per fraction/23-25 fractions/five weeks), intracavitary brachytherapy (low dose: 35-43.6 Gy/1-2 implants; high dose: 18-28 Gy/2-4 implants), with parametrial boost to involved parametria (5.40 - 9.00 Gy/1.8 Gy/3-5 fractions/3-5 days).
Drug: cisplatin Radiation: external beam radiation therapy |
Detailed Description:
- To determine if it is feasible to administer a regimen of cisplatin/radiotherapy in HIV-infected women with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of concomitant chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin in HIV-infected women with LACC who are also receiving concomitant ART.
- To determine the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) of HIV-infected women with LACC Stage IB, II, III, or IVA who receive weekly cisplatin concomitant with radiotherapy and ART. (Exploratory)
- To describe the quality of life (QOL) of enrolled participants via assessments before, immediately after, and at 3 and 9 months after completion of therapy, using QOL metrics that have been validated in similar populations. (Exploratory)
- To describe the effects of treatment on participants' CD4 counts, HIV viral load, and concurrent AIDS-defining conditions. (Exploratory)
- To describe cervical cancer recurrence patterns in HIV-infected participants with LACC defined as loco-regional and/or distant recurrences. (Exploratory)
- To determine 1-year overall survival and causes of death (i.e., cancer-related, HIV-related, or other). (Exploratory)
- To collect serum, cytology, and tissue for future studies specific to cervical and anal disease. (Exploratory)
- To evaluate the effects of weekly cisplatin concomitant with radiotherapy on adherence to ART. (Exploratory)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Participants receive cisplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36 (6 weeks total). Participants also undergo whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT) 5 days a week for 5 weeks followed by intracavitary brachytherapy.
Participants complete the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-30 and the Cervical Cancer Module (QLQ-CX24) at baseline and periodically during study treatment.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 months for 12 months.

Derived from "Hit the Wall". Getting stuck behind a slow driver after cruising along smoothly. Usually occurs on a two-lane highway in good weather after a long stretch of empty road and is caused by an elderly driver in a Buick (because that's what they buy) going below the posted speed limit.
We were cruisin' nicely on Highway 138 until we hit the Buick and there was no place to pass him.
