Reds, Bucs clash looking to gain momentum
The Reds have won three of their last four games and pulled back to a .500 record Thursday, but they haven't had a winning mark since taking two of the season's first three games. The Pirates have had the same kind of season, and they're 9-8 in their last 17 games after starting out with a 2-6 record.
Cincinnati will send Johnny Cueto to the mound in the series opener, and Pittsburgh will counter with veteran Kevin Correia. The Reds earned an extra-innings victory in Thursday's finale against the Cubs, and outfielder Chris Heisey said that his teammates needed that kind of positive result.
"It's a good swing to get on a plane with a win," he said, "as opposed to being down about the loss."
The Reds are 4-6 on the road this season, and they'll be going against a Pittsburgh team that has managed a 5-4 record in its first nine games at home. The Pirates, who haven't had a winning season since 1992, are playing dead even with the pace that saw them finish 72-90 last year.
Cueto has been one of the NL's most dominant starters this season, and he's allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his first five starts. Cueto threw seven shutout innings in his last start to lead the Reds to a 6-0 victory, and Cincinnati believes it can win every time he starts.
"He's going to give you everything he's got every time he goes out there," said right fielder Jay Bruce after Cueto's last start. "It feels good to go out to the game, and watching this guy, you feel like you're going to win. You feel like if you give him the ball, he'll keep you in the game the entire time."
Correia, meanwhile, will be trying to rebound from his first loss of the season. Correia completed six innings and held the opposition to two earned runs or fewer in each of his first three outings, but he was knocked out in the fifth and took the decision in a 4-3 loss to Atlanta last week.
Reds: Club bringing Mesoraco along slowly
Rookie backstop Devin Mesoraco got the start in Thursday's game and took an 0-for-4 collar against the Cubs. Cincinnati has brought its former first-round Draft pick along slowly, and Mesoraco has gotten just 34 at-bats through the season's first 24 games.
Offense aside, the true difference between Mesoraco and incumbent Ryan Hanigan has been on defense. Hanigan has led the Reds to a 10-4 record and an ERA (2.69) nearly two runs lower than the mark put up when Mesoraco catches (4.58). Cincinnati is 2-8 when Mesoraco starts.
Pirates: McCutchen exits game with stomach flu
Center fielder Andrew McCutchen got the day off on Wednesday -- the last Pirates starter to miss a game all season -- and returned to the lineup for Thursday's game. McCutchen only got two at-bats before leaving the game early due to a stomach flu, but the Bucs expect him back on Friday.
McCutchen dropped to a .297 average on Thursday due to his 0-for-2 showing, and he's still looking for his first home run of the season. The All-Star has just seven RBIs through his first 24 games. Last year, for contrast, McCutchen hit .219 with five home runs and 12 RBIs in his first 25 games.
Worth noting
Pittsburgh went 10-5 against Cincinnati in 2011 and 6-10 against the Reds during the 2010 campaign.
Miguel Cairo (38) and Sam LeCure (28) will celebrate their birthdays on Friday. Cairo, sidelined since April 17 with a strained left hamstring, began a Minor League rehab stint on Thursday.
Cincinnati's pitching staff (2.78 ERA) and starting rotation (3.27) have thrived over the last 12 games.

Personna Double Edge BladesTom P.ChicagoTwo Extremely Sharp Edges From Each Blade.Work great to get a clean cut on cork and other materials used in woodwind repair. Break them in half. These are used by many of the manufacturers of high end instruments.posted Dec 6, 2011Link to this post
Personna Double Edge BladesJohnEast Coast, USPersonna Double Edged BladesThese double edged blades are getting increasingly hard to find in the drug and food stores. But there are a few razor companies, like Merkur, producing really good razors that use them. Also, bought in quantity like this, they are quite inexpensive, even when compared to the drugstore price for the same blades and certainly when compared to the price of the more modern blades. I usually get a weeks worth of shaves from one blade. I prefer these blades to the modern, multi-blade "cassette" blades for a couple of reasons. I think that they shave just as closely as the newest thing, but that may be a subjective impression. Regardless, the closeness is quite adequate to keep me looking clean shaven throughout the day, and I know that I dont nick myself anywhere near as frequently with these "low tech" blades. Also, as pointed out above, they are very much less expensive than the latest rage on a per unit and probably on a per shave basis. Finally, these blades and the razors that use them take a little concentration to achieve a good shave. There is a little skill involved in their use (although nowhere near what it takes to master a straight razor, which I never managed). That makes the daily routine just a little more interesting.posted May 23, 2006Link to this post

BMW's 450cc enduro prototype impresses on its first outing
BMW's new Enduro Sport prototype - notice the front sprocket is inline with the swingarm pivot
Article Summary
May 2, 2007 BMW whipped the covers off its new 450cc enduro prototype on the starting line of a World Enduro Championship race in Puerto Lumbreras, Spain last weekend. It's BMW's first serious enduro contender - the brand's GS twin-cylinder bikes and recent 650 singles have all been more adventure-sport oriented than built for serious enduro racing. Still, the new bike leapt out of the blocks, scoring championship points in both races and looking like a genuine contender. Clearly BMW is set to invade the lucrative serious off-road segment which has helped to build its Austrian neighbour KTM into Europe's second largest motorcycle manufacturer.

When it comes to solar power, more and more Americans are seeing the light.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
U.S. Solar Power Growth Jumps to New Record
The U.S. solar industry installed a record number of panels in 2011, more than double 2010, and is likely to see strong growth again this year, according to a new report.
New Solar Panels Blossomed Despite a Tough Year for the Industry
Last year seemed like a dark one for the solar industry: stiff competition from China drove American manufacturers to layoffs and even bankruptcy, while the low price of natural gas and the loss of a critical government subsidy weakened incentives for new solar developments. And then there was the long shadow of Solyndra, whose bankruptcy after receiving federal loans cast a pall over other green-energy endeavors.
Colorado Solar Installations Jump in 2011
Colorado remained fifth in the nation for photovoltaic installations, as the number of megawatts installed jumped 69 percent to 91 megawatts in 2011 compared with 2010, according to a study released today.
New Report Finds U.S. Solar Energy Installations Soared by 109% in 2011 to 1,855 Megawatts
The U.S. solar energy industry installed a record 1,855 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) capacity in 2011, more than doubling the previous annual record of 887 MW set in 2010, according to the latest U.S. Solar Market Insight report. The record amount of solar installations is enough to power more than 370,000 homes, and represents a 109 percent growth rate in 2011.

Is It Necessary to Preach Divine Wrath?
from Steven Lawson May 01, 2015 Category: Articles
The Genevan Reformer John Calvin said, "Preaching is the public exposition of Scripture by the man sent from God, in which God Himself is present in judgment and in grace."

The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 5)
from R.C. Sproul May 29, 2009 Category: Articles
Pursuing knowledge of the will of God is not an abstract science designed to titillate the intellect or to convey the kind of knowledge that "puffs up" but fails to edify. An understanding of the will of God is a desperately important matter for every Christian seeking to live a life that is pleasing to his or her Creator. It is a very practical thing for us to know what God wants for our lives. A Christian asks, "What are my marching orders? What should my role be in contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God? What does God want me to do with my life?" lt is inconceivable that a Christian could live for very long without coming face-to-face with these gripping questions. Keep Reading -
The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul May 28, 2009 Category: Articles
This aspect of the will of God refers to what is pleasing and agreeable to God. It expresses something of the attitude of God to his creatures. Some things are "well pleasing in his sight," while other things are said to grieve him. He may allow (but not via moral permission) wicked things to transpire, but he is by no means pleased by them.

Two Kingdoms, One God
from Keith Mathison May 27, 2009 Category: Articles
Without a doubt, the greatest theologian in the first thousand years of the church was Augustine of Hippo (354-430). His voluminous theological, exegetical, and devotional writings have had a lasting impact and continue to be studied to this day. One of Augustine's greatest works is The City of God, written to defend the Christian faith from its pagan attackers as the Roman Empire was collapsing. It is one of the most influential books ever written. The City of God is available in a number of English translations, but one of the clearest and most readable is the translation by Henry Bettenson in the Penguin Classics series. Keep Reading -
Love Letters
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 26, 2009 Category: Articles
It is a strange habit, though I am often caught in its grip. Why is it, I wonder, that we find ourselves so often longing for those days of the early church? Where did we begin to confuse the descriptive with the prescriptive, using what was the church once upon a time as a guide to what the church should be in our own day? The source of this foolishness is likely more Rousseau and likely less the Bible. Rousseau was the father of the modern Romantic movement who argued that man is basically good and that it is the debilitating effects of culture that always make things worse. The more primitive we can get, the better off we will be. Buying into that template, we find the early church to be our ideal. Keep Reading -
Study Scripture at Home with Ligonier Academy
from Keith Mathison May 25, 2009 Category: Ligonier Academy
All Scripture is inspired and profitable, but Scripture does not profit us if we do not read and understand it. Many of us as Christians have been confused at times when we tried to understand the Bible. As believers, we know that Scripture is the Word of God, but what are we to make of all these histories, and genealogies, and letters, and psalms? How do these various books form a coherent whole?

Doing Without the Church?

The seven churches of Asia addressed in the book of Revelation had their problems. One of them looked quite lively but it was actually dead.

Top 5 Commentaries on the Books of 2 Peter and Jude
from Keith Mathison May 23, 2009 Category: Articles
The epistles of 2 Peter and Jude are among the most neglected books in the Bible. Both books are dealing with the same problem. 2 Peter and Jude were written to combat the rise of false teachers in the Christian churches. These books are, therefore, extraordinarily relevant, even today. There are a number of helpful commentaries on the books of 2 Peter and Jude, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading -
The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul May 22, 2009 Category: Articles
Habakkuk's famous statement "the just shall live by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4, kjv) is found three times in the New Testament. It has become a slogan of evangelical Protestantism, whose emphasis has been upon the doctrine of justification by faith alone. This slogan, containing a hint of the essence of the Christian life, has its focal point in the biblical concept of righteousness. Keep Reading -
The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul May 21, 2009 Category: Articles
Theologians describe that will by which God decrees things to come to pass according to his supreme sovereignty as the "decretive will of God." This is also sometimes called "God's sovereign efficacious will"; by it God brings to pass whatsoever he wills. When God sovereignly decrees something in this sense, nothing can thwart its coming to pass. Keep Reading -

Finite Element Approach to Microwave Sintering of Oxide Materials
Yuhua Duan1,2, Dan C. Sorescu1 and J. Karl Johnson1,31National Energy Technology Laboratory, 2Parsons Project Services Inc.,3Department of Chemical Engineering
Microwave sintering has been applied to a wide variety of, and recent experimental results have showed that for semi-metal or magnetic materials, the magnetic field (H) can have a significantly larger contribution than the electric field (E) during sintering.
We have employed COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate the sintering process by adding the magnetic field contribution into the heating source. For the systems of Fe3O4, Al2O3 and ZnO oxides, our simulated results are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental sintering findings.

REVIEW: If I Stay
Based on Gayle Forman's Y.A. best-seller, Chloe Grace Moretz (of "Kick-Ass" and "Carrie" fame) spends much of the movie in a coma , with her between life-and-death spirit eavesdropping on the loves ones who gather around her.
Will she stay or will she go? With music at the heart of this movie, the Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" was ironically left off the soundtrack.
Moretz plays Mia Hall, a Juilliard-bound , shy cellist who falls in love with an on-the-verge of stardom rocker, played by Jamie Blackley (a mostly unknown who had a role in "Snow White And The Huntsman"). Mia's loving and very cool rocker parents every kid wishes they had are played by Joshua Leonard ( "Higher Ground" and "Hump Day") and Mireille Enos (a ringer for Leslie Mann and best known for tv's "The Killing") with Stacy Keach as her grandfather.
The biggest issues in Mia's life: her first love and whether she gets into the legendary Juilliard school. Til a tragic accident hits. Chloe Grace Moretz easily carries the film- she's one fine young actress. Actually , all of the acting is right on the money .
Melodramatic it is. And affected in the way it's shot with the heavy use of color in the "spirit" scenes. But still effective. The targeted Y.A. audience won't be disappointed.
The music, with everything from Sonic Youth to Bach, is tremendous. They had me at the opening scene with music by The Dandy Warhols.
Bring the tissues kids!!!

CLERMONT, Fla. - - The defensive side of the ball always seems to be the last piece that comes together for a northern team starting a brand new spring season as it is more tough to practice on a natural surface early in the season.
The has rang true for the Wilmington University softball team thus far on its 23-game Florida trip as errors again hurt the Wildcats on day three of the trip, leading to a 7-1 loss to Gannon in the morning and an 8-0 loss to Florida Southern in the second game of the doubleheader.
Wilmington (1-4) cut the deficit to 2-1 with a two-out run in the sixth, but three errors led to five Gannon (1-1) unearned runs in the top of the seventh to break the game open.
Christin Headley hit her first triple of the young season to right center with one out in top of the sixth to get things started for the Wildcats. A speedy Shelby Thompson ran out an infield single to third before stealing second to put runners on second and third with one out. Brooke Berger then fouled out to leftfield, but deep enough for the sacrifice fly to score Headley and allow Thompson to move up to third. But that would be all the 'Cats would get in the inning as Golden Knight's starter Erica Bartholow induced an inning ending ground out to the next batter.
The top of the seventh started off in the wrong direction for the Wildcats as the leadoff batter got on by a fielding error by Berger at third, but Wilmington starting pitcher Katie Warrington got the next two batters out. The Golden Knights responded with a walk and an infield single to load the bases. Warrington got a groundball in the next at-bat, but an error allowed two more runs to come home while another fielding error two batters later allowed two additional runs to cross home plate.
After Chelsea Botsch replaced Warrington, Caitlyn Colucci singled up the middle, driving in the final run and closing the book on Warrington. With the loss, Warrington dropped to 1-2 on the year, as she allowed seven runs (one earned) on eight hits over 6.2 innings pitched. She also struck out six batters.
Headley and Thompson led the offensive attack while each going 2-for-3. Rachel Painter accounted for the other hit for the Wildcats, as she went 1-for-3 in the day's first game.
Florida Southern has played twice as many games as the Wildcats in the early going, and came out firing in the opening three frames against Botsch. The Moccasins used 12 hits to score eight runs, scoring five of them in the second and third innings alone.
Botsch fell to 0-2 on the year, giving up five runs on seven hits in four innings of action in the circle. Danielle Griffin pitched the remaining 1.1 innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out two batters.
Headley and Thompson each went 1-for-3 on the afternoon while Jillian Stafford batted 1-for-2, as Florida Southern starter Christine Clark (5-1) threw five scoreless innings to earn the victory.
Florida Southern's Randi Grimes hit 3-for-4 with a solo shot in the fifth, knocking in two runs and scoring two more to lead the Mocs.
The Wildcats will get another crack at Gannon on Tuesday, as they prepare for their fourth straight day of action at the National Training Center. They will square off against the Golden Knights at 11 a.m. before playing the University of Mary at 1 p.m.

I would like to establish a contact list of all those who fall in to the Deep South operational area. This should help with get-togethers and runs and to keep us informed. I will maintain the list and shoot out any info or field any questions.
Also of importance is our big fall get-together. Last year we held it (first ever) at Lake City and it was an excellent run. No issues recovering subs due to the pool and the pool were big enough for Warren Wilson's giant 32nd parallel U-boat. But I understand there is a chance the park in GA may have what we need. I have looked over the postings and checked the park web site it looks good tome. A visit is in order.
Please shoot me the following either at my subcommittee email or my home email (preferred):
email (I would prefer one you check frequently)
Type of sub model/models you run
Any other info you think is necessary

Midwest Living Review
An ornate Art Deco theater sets the stage for a Barnes and Noble bookstore.
Yes, it's the bookstore chain we all know, but this location may be its most beautiful anywhere. Housed in the former Chateau Theatre, Barnes and Noble kept the movie house's 1927 castle facade, night-sky ceiling and flashing sunburst marquee. The Preservation Alliance of Minnesota calls it the state's "last and best example of atmospheric theater." In other words, it's a much more interesting place to browse for books than the local mall.

Yep, he's still not the right guy for this...and with the Bieber rumor of being Robin, that would be so funny.
The world came to a grinding stop when Warner Brothers announced that writer/ director/ actor Ben Affleck would portray the Dark Knight. The response from the internet, and the fan community, was less than enthusiastic. So what does Ben Affleck think about the backlash of him being Batman? Affleck recently appeared on Jimmy Fallon and discussed being a dad and his upcoming role in Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman.
Start the clip at 1:49 to get to the Batman material.
Yep, he's still not the right guy for this...and with the Bieber rumor of being Robin, that would be so funny.
Haters hate. The same f.ucking haters will be lining up in their Batman costumes with nipples on opening night.
He's a fine choice. This guy is down to earth and loves comic books. Plus he's american and not a douchebag like Bale.
ha, haaaaa take that you whinning little bitches!!!! that means you too j.banner..
ElBaz, I hear you man, C. Bale suck ass in all 3 Batman Movies... and that horrrrrrrrrible bat growl voice wtf?? I get it he has to not use his real voice sound but that growl mummble slurred B.S was a joke...
He's a good actor and all but I fear how he'll look in the mask with that extra large chin of his...
I'm not perfect by a long shot. I mean, my forehead is so big it's actually a fivehead!
Go f*ck yourself Eibaz and you too Thezillaturd...I hate the idea of this guy being batman, he's all wrong for the part in every damn way possible and I don't f*cking wear a batman costume, not even close to being a comic book geek, just a movie lover and you two douchebags are in the minority when it comes to who hates and who loves Christian Bale as Batman...Zillaturd, if you have issues with how Bale used his voice in the batman movies, you should take it up with the director...
Just for everyone's info, BIEBER IS NOT GOING TO BE ROBIN. That news scared the shite out of me.. haha but it has been confirmed to be something for/from "Funny or Die."
anyway, I still feel pretty good about the casting choice, especially after seeing him talk a little bit about the role, and with Affleck being a director and saying what Snyder has come up with is "brilliant" that definitely gets me going a bit more for the film. I'm very stoked about it and think this is a great choice. I really liked Bale and Nolan's take, but I think this interpretation of the Dark Knight is going to OWN. Just see how good Goyer and Snyder did with the origins of Kal-El.... think of how they will bring a weathered batman to the scene. Everything is going to be awesome....
If Mr. Mom can make a great Batman, I'm willing to give Affleck a chance.
Still not excited about it, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. While I don't think Affleck is a stellar actor, he is a fantastic director, and even manages to get good performances from himself...so the possibility for a good performance is there...and Zach Snyder seems to get good performances out of people. So yeah, not excited about it, but have ceased my complaining about it. LOL
Yes, I said it (along with thousands of other geeks). And I stand by it.

And this is why a run-off-the-mill Java app like Glassfish runs fine on one Java VM and yet not on the other - because it's just 'soooooo portable'.
Java programmers as ever - too stupid to figure out that when they're about to shoot, their rifle is aimed at their feet and they are in risk of losing their legs in the process.
Okay, you're just being rude for the sake of doing it now. You either can't or won't attempt to understand what I'm saying to you, and you refuse to show me the least bit of respect. You're the mental midget who's out of touch with reality here, not me. You live in the "glory" of the past, and want all the kids to get off your lawn. But you're irrelevant.
Hmm. You don't know anything about me, my tastes, or my preferences. But I admire how you don't let that stop you from forging ahead with baseless accusations. And as to my age? I think I should probably be calling you "son". But I don't do that because I'm not an ass. (You've lost all semblance of being deserving of respect at this point, yet I persist because I'm better than you.)
So maintain your moldy code base and never touch anything other than C++. Let other stupid people code in those newfangled languages whilst you make those Gamecube ports. However, if you actually want to have a civil and useful discussion, I'm willing to give you another shot. If not, then that's great too. Just crawl off and die somewhere where the rest of us won't be distracted by the smell.

Says the guy who talks about others being 'rude' - while I so far have never resorted to one 'insult' or called for somebody to die.
If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Swearing like mad and saying people should die shows you can't handle an argument with wit and tact. It is a sign of weakness and inadequacy on your part.
You actually operate under the assumption that the business world has a place for all of the shitty 'toy languages' your mind can conjure up.So maintain your moldy code base and never touch anything other than C++.

Trust me - if you were counting your Java/C# eggs before they actually hatched, I'd feel very insecure about your position in the jobs market right now. Have a lot of fun with that because performance-focused coding will start becoming more and more a priority as we target ever-slower platforms (especially ones where runtime performance is governed by battery usage - it pays to be high performing').
You're probably not a person I'd even want to talk to in the first place, so it isn't so much a case of 'willing to give you another shot' more that I frankly don't know who the hell you are and why I should even care about you and your argument. Notice that it is you engaging me in a conversation - I didn't ask you anything at all nor did I even ask you to start commenting (nor did you actually make a single point - not to mention you didn't even know Minecraft Pocket Edition on Kindle Fire is C++, not Java, which craps all over your own argument anyway). I'd have to say at this point that I really have zero interest in your opinion, so yeah, I'll brief you about the 'dying part' as soon as we get there - that might take another good 40 years though so I hope you can be as patient in this regard as you are of the garbage-collecting VMs you seem to like.However, if you actually want to have a civil and useful discussion, I'm willing to give you another shot

It had - XNA is dead (and .NET C# by the looks of it won't last very long either judging by how Microsoft is already 'recommending' to Metro developers that they code in C++11 - so the handwriting is on the wall - must suck if your 'career' hinges on MS keeping a language alive).
But let me break this to you - XNA was for kiddies at universities. No serious commercial game developer would ever touch it because of severe performance issues.
Real developers got themselves a developer's kit - it costs big bucks, it's called an XDK. It integrates with VS2010 (or 2012) - the compiler is MIcrosoft Visual C++ - no higher-level language at all. You can compile your code in C++ (11 - although only partial support) and C89. That's it. That's the current state of development here.
All of your commercial Xbox 360 games are made with this. Zero - I repeat zero - are made with the (now dead) XNA crap.
I repeat - the 'managed VM' was just for the kids and 'hobbyists' - it was not a serious proposal for real developers. You would know this if you had ever programmed in any professional capacity for this thing. Obviously you don't.
Sony actively 'gimped' their Vita 'public SDK' in the same way - no serious game developer would even think of touching it because it being reliant on C# means it is 'intentionally self-neutered' - not to mention they 'neutered' it in other ways as well.
Sorry but your managed environments' are still 'not good enough' on any commercial system. Keep looking for examples because the 'utopian scenario' has yet to materialize.
Meanwhile, I have a job to do, and performance targets to match (and beat). That is why I will continue using C/C++ while you are off daydreaming about an ideal world where everybody programs their guff in 'portable Java code' and it runs in a shiny VM everywhere with impeccable performance.

I remember asking a question and politely asking you to show me a modicum of respect - which you refused to do. Then you proceeded to misunderstand and argue against things I never said. For clarification, what I said was all these languages have their place, and I was willing to continue this discussion if you could be civil - if not, you could crawl off and die. Since you defaulted to being butthurt, I assume civility is beyond you. It was, after all, your choice.
As for having a discussion, you're not "discussing" anything. You're proselytizing and evangelizing all while pithily dismissing and ignoring points counter to your own. You're not looking for truth, you're claiming to have it. And like most religious nut cases, you don't seem to know your ass from third base. Just because you don't understand the point doesn't mean there wasn't one.
So no, as much as I hate to say this, we're not really on the same level. You've failed the litmus test for intelligence all the while insulting the intellect of everybody else and being condescending to anyone who disagrees with you. I know this is the Internet, but damn.
You can have the last word if you want. But in kind, I don't much care about what you think, either (since it can be summed up with "C++ is the only programming language and anybody who says differently is an idiot" as near as anyone here can tell.) I can't imagine why people would find that abrasive.
May you live in interesting times.
'And where did you get those i7 system requirments for Minecraft? Intel P4/NetBurst Architecture or its AMD Equivalent and 2 GB Ram. So a pentium 4 and a really low 2GB Ram. Not even close an i7. You really need help. '
Absolute dogshit what you posted here. Oh and BTW - '2GB RAM' is not 'really low RAM' when you consider that your average console does not even have 1/4th of that. I have the sneaking suspicion I am talking to an end-user by now masquerading as a 'bad programmer'. Who knows - I might not be far off there.
I have seen you lie in this thread over and over so I'm not even remotely surprised anymore.
Now obviously it has been established you are a desperate shittalker who doesn't know what he is talking about - case in point your assertion that 'nobody exceeds the Java VM heapsize limit' - tell that to the Ouya guys programming their games with their wonderful Unity-powered ODK. So obviously you are full of shit there.
You are furthermore full of shit because I have seen the same behavior in my own apps.
But hey - I am just supposed to take your word - because some Fievel Forumtroll that wrote a shitty game demo that didn't run at acceptable speeds said something to the opposite effect. Uhuh. Show me a Github page or something that proves even half of the shit you say. Until then, just shut up - you are ignored and you don't matter.
Oh BTW - I put you on ignore so apologies but I might not be around to read your (probably shit) reply. Not much point in reading stuff from a bad liar (but then again you're a Java brogrammer so anything goes) anyways.
There's probably a good chance a lot of you Java brogrammers will join the unemployment lines in the ensuing depression years - and I have to say, good riddance to the lot of you when that happens. I have absolutely zero sympathy for the lot of you. Your mentality is shit, your attitude is shit, your skills are shit, your language is shit, the IDEs you code in are shit, the VMs and OSes you run your software in are shit, the company that 'owns' your language is shit, your games are shit and run crappily (Minecraft), and frankly you all need to get out of the business before you start 'corrupting' the 'real' software engineering business.
Byebye now Java tards and keep failing and 'collecting' garbage while you count your cumulative millisecond stalls (which according to your braindead mind has 'absolutely no detrimental effects to performance'). Stupid morons.

Wow, another bland news story descends into a flame war for no real reason. Does anyone know a Linux-focussed news site that isn't full of dickheads? I'd like to go there.
Oh, how surprising that you identify yourself as an 'entrepreneur' - certainly didn't see that coming from a mile away.....
Anybody calling themselves an 'entrepreneur' 99.99% of the time in software engineering translates into a scumbag piece of shit that can't even hack it. Failure or unwillingness to produce any code of course means you can build yourself up to be this 'great coding god' all you want without having to produce jack shit all evidence for it - which all feeds into the douchyness of your kind.
BTW - most of you 'indie dev' morons are plain talentless hack failures - I'd just like you to know that. You, Phil Fish, Mojang, Jonathan Blow - all of you are loudmouth dipshits who think they are something 'special' because you can make a Super Mario Bros 1 clone with a gimmick (rewind) or a Myst clone, or a 'game engine that looks worse than Quake 1'. Rovio got rich off 'using' an opensource framework (Box2D) and just having a bunch of women design cute fluffy birds all day. So the problem with your kind is - you act like you're 'entitled' to money, like you're 'entitled' to be 'entrepreneurial' and shit but you expect the 'tools' you use to 'grow rich' to still remain free. Well, you can't have both dipshit - you are either a cockroach who is all about 'himself' or you help out your fellow man and help out the world by sharing the stuff you are doing for the betterment of whatever 'knowledge economy' there is. Failure to do that means you are a parasite who is all too happy to 'stand on the shoulder of giants' but not contribute a damn motherfucking thing yourself. That is my reason for calling you what you are - a 'cockroach', failing that a 'parasite'. That is what you are. Just like the people on Wall Street who you think are such great people for you to 'imitate'.
Then why the fuck don't you get off this site then? Your scumbag kind doesn't even seem to belong here. Imagine if the people behind the Linux kernel and/or Mesa shared your attitude - you wouldn't have anything to run your (closed source) piece of shit game engine on in the first placeThe fact that your code is open source and mine isn't doesn't say anything about me. It doesn't mean that my code is inferior as you like to believe. In fact the best game engines are closed source.
But hey, I know plenty of FLOSS tards these days who talk just like you. You are a symptom of the cancer that is surrounding modern 'homegrown' development.
Must feel good, having sold out right?
Hey cockroach, THIS IS HOW HOMEBREW/OPEN SOURCE WORKS - this is HOW WE ROLL since the '80s and '70s - you provide your SHIT FOR FREE and you provide your SOURCE. This is how this motherfucking community used to work before piece of shit maggots like you found out there was a way to 'profit' from shitty homegrown code on dipshit App Stores. Michael Abrash started talking elaborately about the tech behind Quake 1's source code the VERY SAME YEAR the game was published in the spirit of 'INFORMATION SHOULD BE OPEN' - something a disgusting cockroach llike you don't even believe in. And what the motherfuck do you have to offer in your dipshit 'game engine' that a guy like Abrash couldn't? Exactly jack shit all that is what, Junior.Reading your posts here and on RetroArch forum you seem to have a very socialist (not say communist) worldview. Just because you don't make any money from RetroArch doesn't mean I shouldn't from my work.
You, your fucking 'Valley attitude', your merry band of failure 'startup entrepreneurs' and the companies that 'enable you' (Google/Apple) can all go fuck off and die as far as I am concerned. Is that plain enough for you bubba?
Oh, but your shitty 'game engine 101' is, right? (the source which we can't even look into because you are a shit-faced wannabe 'entrepreneur' that thinks he is going to 'make it big' when he never will).RetroArch isn't exactly a cure for cancer in programming difficulty and yes I did write my own game engine.
'Android' games are nothing more (99.9% of the time) than 'run-me-down' iOS ports. Nobody on Earth who is serious about programming is 'loving' this piece of garbage and even fewer use it as their 'primary' platform - that always remains iOS (I guess that must be because despite all things - Android is still 'really great', right?).The fact that you don't get along with Android says more about you than about Android since the rest of the game devs (and whole world actually) seem OK with it. It's not perfect but it's not horrendeous either.
The reason they don't speak out against it in public (about the obvious thousand issues that are wrong with this Android garbage) is because they want to maintain close and 'friendly' ties to Google and because most programmers are spineless, gutless nerds that waive all their rights and their right to an own opinion as long as it meansa a company employs them and they are a few months removed from the unemployment lines.
Then you have the scumbag maggot kind (like you) that self-identifies as an 'entrepreneur' and defend Android simply because their 'lax policies' on their store makes you think this is a 'great ticket' to 'growing rich' - most of your larvae kind don't give a crap about the actual quality of your programs or the enjoyment factor - as long as you become the 'next Steve Jobs/Bill Gates' in terms of raking in ill-gotten gains.
You and your kind are cancer and it's good to see you identified how I see your disgusting bottom-feeding kind - I know exactly what your cockroach kind is about. You can take your 'apps should be monetized' fetish and you can SHOVE IT right up your fat hillbilly ass.

With the exception of tie dyes, designs are applied to our shirts via
screenprint. All designs are printed on the front unless the shirt
features both a front print and a backprint. We use local screenprinters
for our stock and custom-printed t-shirts.
Most of our shirts are 100% cotton unless otherwise noted. Exceptions
would be hemp/cotton blends and sweatshirts, which are 50/50 cotton/poly
Will I get what's pictured in the catalog or on the website?
Photos of our products are intended to represent the actual items offered
or, in the case of handmade items, a typical example. Occasionally we have
to substitute one t-shirt navbar-brand for another and will choose the closest
possible color equivalent. From time to time item styles will change for
one reason or another, but we do our best to keep our graphics as close to the
actual stock as possible.
Please note:
When ordering import textile items like sarongs, tams, etc., remember that
these are handmade by artisans and as such are unique.
If you want a specific color range, please indicate that. We'll do our
best to accommodate you and will send the item that most closely matches
your request. If you don't like what we send, don't worry; you can send
it back as long as you comply with the terms of our return policy. Bear
in mind, however, that only the purchase price of the item is refundable.
What if you make a mistake on my order?
We'll make it right. Please contact us by phone (800-258-8579) or
email for specific instructions.
What is your Returns Policy?

And....while you are in New York, dont forget to visit Sing Sing!
There is a place on the West Coast of New Zealand called, Hari Hari. Its sometimes referred to as Harihari (but thats another discussion).
Its a small town, popular for bush walking, bird watching and trout or salmon fishing.
It was in Hari Hari that Australian pilot, Guy Menzies
completed the first solo flight across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand in 1931, crash-landing upside down in a swamp!

Loc: Australia This duplication of words is a rich vein to be mined.[And it IS duplication, NOT REduplication as the introduction has it. To duplicate chop is to write chop chop. To REduplicate would be to write chop chop chop chop.] Here in Australia many of the aboriginal languages seem to favour such duplication.
Especially this is true of place names, as others have pointed out. You might live in Wagga Wagga or Wangi Wangi or even Grong Grong. If you are from way out in the sticks you might be said to come from Woop Woop.That far out in the inland you might choke from the dust thrown up by a willy willy or you might once have been hit on the head with a nulla nulla. If you surf on the coast you might ride a bora bora. If you watch birds you might see a Gang Gang or hear a Bulbul.
If you make a real Boo Boo of a criminal kind you could have ended up in Jika Jika like Sing Sing in the USA. Up north you can dine on Paw Paw. In Africa you could hunt a Dik Dik. So let's hear it for duplication. Bite the bullet...maybe a Dum Dum, beat the drum, make sure it's a Tom Tom, put on your Tutu and dance the Can Can, or settle down and read all about Tintin while smoking some chop chop [Here it means illegal tobacco on which duty has not been paid].
Me? I'm off for a wee wee then I'll treat myself to a Bon Bon. As they used to say on British radio TTFN which means TaTa for now.

Loc: this too shall pass rarebird, in spite of the logic of it all, a linguist will disagree with you..
Reduplication in linguistics is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word (or part of it) is repeated exactly or with a slight change.
Reduplication is used in inflections to convey a grammatical function, such as plurality, intensification, etc., and in lexical derivation to create new words. It is often used when a speaker adopts a tone more "expressive" or figurative than ordinary speech and is also often, but not exclusively, iconic in meaning. Reduplication is found in a wide range of languages and language groups, though its level of linguistic productivity varies.
Reduplication is the standard term for this phenomenon in the linguistics literature. Other terms that are occasionally used include cloning, doubling, duplication, repetition, and tautonym.

Yes, reduplication is a common feature in Polynesian languages (e.g., Tahitian, Maori, Hawaiian)._________________________

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews.
Rating: Good ProductI just asked about my wife. Now me. We both are looking at the warm wetsuit. I am 6, weigh 185. What size for me? Thanks, Barry
can you tell me if the womens 3x weight chart is correct the measurements make sense but I weih a lot more
Hello Nancy, when you are sizing a wet suit the two most important measurements are going to be your chest/bust and waist, Height is a secondary measurement and weight is the last measurement. The reason the chest/bust and waist are the most important is that you have to fit the suit around before anything else.
Three things that are important to scuba divers when they purchase a wetsuit are warmth, comfort and value. The Ocean Quest Premium Super-Stretch Wetsuit covers all three. Constructed from 4-way stretch, Titanium neoprene this suit offers up to 250% more elasticity than a suit made with standard neoprene. What this means for the diver is a wetsuit that conforms to the contour of the body better, especially if you happen to not be the perfect "off the rack" fit in sizing. The suit is double glued and blind stitched inside and out for durability and features pre-bent arms and knees, molded, flexible knee pads, a non-magnetic YKK #10 zipper with a long, easy to reach pull leash. Offered in the color Black with Blue trim and available for men in sizes Small through 3XLarge and women in sizes XSmall through 2XLarge, this is one suit that should never be overlooked. It was designed specifically for the diver desiring high quality materials, the superior workmanship found in suits twice its price.
The Ocean Quest Premium Super-Stretch Titanium Jumpsuit is designed for all types of mining and dredging activities. It is designed to offer the best possible combination of fit and flexibility using premium, 4 way-stretch, Titanium neoprene, double glued and blind stitched inside and out for superior warmth and comfort. The Titanium material within the neoprene reflects the heat trapped in the suit back at the user more efficiently and doesn't allow as much warmth to escape allowing the user's body to remain warm with less effort. The Super-Stretch neoprene stretches up to 250% more than standard neoprene giving the miner a custom-like fit at a fraction of the price of a custom wetsuit. This type of neoprene is ideal for the miner who is moving, bending, kneeling and working in the stream or river as the superior flexibility in the material is far less restricting and uncomfortable than standard neoprene.
Featuring pre-bent arms and legs for added comfort, and an adjustable Velcro collar to help keep the cold out, this suit can be worn comfortably by multiple people with different body types. Equipped with a long leash to enable one person to easily zip their suit and flexible molded rubber knee pads to provide exceptional grip and durability, this suit is built to last its owner for years to come. Available in 3/2mm, 5mm and 7mm in sizes Men's Small through 3XL

Last updated: November 24, 2014
The Mount Kenya Energy Project was started in 2009 by Ingelore Kahrens to spread the use of appropriate technology and to develop an awareness of its advantages. The project currently serves people in the small village of Gaketha, Kenya. A local women's group has been formed called Gaketha Laura Energy Saving Group. The project coordinator is Mugo Justus.
[show]News and recent developmentsEdit
- September 2013: Solar cooker construction workshop - In the first week of their training twelve participants worked in two groups and finished building one small and one large Lazola box cooker each. In the remaining two weeks each trainee worked with one partner and by the end of the course 12 cookers had been built.
- April 2010: Ingelore Kahrens went to Kenya again. In the meantime, Mugo had established contacts with several groups in the region and made arrangements for visits with them. In community centres, churches and schools and at the homes of women´s group members we met representatives of different types of groups. Mugo had recruited members of the Gaketha group as promoters. They explained to the listeners the advantages of the new technologies. A male member of the group gave information on the use of the neem tree for medical purposes as a natural insecticide. In every place we visited we left the participants with a solar cooker set and/or a clay liner for building an energy-efficient stove. The interest of the participants and the requests for further information were very high. In the future, Mugo was to act as contact person and a coordinator of the work of the promoters. Follow-up visits to new groups were planned in order to monitor their work and progress and to support them. (Text from Ingelore Kahrens)
- August 2009: Kahrens went to Kenya to visit the family of an African friend and former teacher colleague, Mugo Justus. They live in the small village Gaketha on the slopes of Mount Kenya at the boundaries of Mount Kenya Forest. At the East Africa office of Solar Cookers International in Nairobi I had bought a collapsible solar cooker (CooKit) and a retained-heat cooker (basket cooker). My friends found the cookers very useful and had the idea to interest others in them as well. With the assistance of the area chief, we mobilized representatives of different women´s groups and invited them for a demonstration. When they came we explained how solar cookers, basket cookers and energy-saving clay ovens function and what advantages they have over traditional cooking methods. In the kitchen house of the host, the women built a clay oven underneath a chimney and thus learnt about the advantages of a smoke-free kitchen. After this successful event, women from the Gaketha village founded the Gaketha Laura Energy Saving Group. After my departure they tried out the new technologies and met regularly to exchange their experiences. Mugo Justus functioned as an advisor and project coordinator. (Text from Ingelore Kahrens)
Project goalsEdit
The purpose of the project is to spread the use of appropriate technology and to develop an awareness of its advantages. Income-generating activities are to improve the financial situation of the group members and to serve the welfare of their families, their community and their country.
- The use of solar cookers, heat-retention cookers (basket cookers) and energy-efficient stoves saves time (collection of firewood), which can be used for other activities
- The health of women is improved when they can work in smoke-free kitchens.
- The group members promote protection of the environment. The new way of cooking saves firewood (also time and money). Fewer trees have to be cut down while new trees are being planted (in tree nurseries).
- The group contributes to further education of the community and to the development of a general environmental awareness.
- The women initiate income-generating projects and thus contribute to an improved standard of living in their families and their community.
Current and future activiesEdit
- December 2010: Gaketha Laura Energy Saving Group has a director, a committee of nine people with a chairperson, a treasurer and a secretary. The group members meet regularly and at least once a month. Every member pays a fixed monthly contribution. The money is kept in a bank account and will be used to carry out the projects of the group.
Current activities of the group
- Producing basket cookers for sale
- Informing the public about the advantages of the new technologies and giving practical assistance in their application
- Purchasing chickens that are to be distributed among the group members in order to improve their families´ diets as well as their income (the sale of eggs brings good profit in Kenya)
Future plans
- Purchase milk goats for every group member
- Produce solar cookers for their own use and for sale
- Establish tree nurseries with neem trees for their own use and for sale
- Participate in courses at Murugi Polytechnic in Chogoria

The words "probiotics" are showing up on tags of every little thing from supplements to yogurt to granola bars and other sources of food.
Probiotics are "good bacteria" that resemble organisms that occur normally in the digestion tract. Particular strains or types of probiotics have actually been connected to all form of health and wellness advantages, from aiding with short-tempered bowel disorder as well as tourist's diarrhea to boosting the immune system. They're occasionally used with anti-biotics to fight the diarrhea that might result from taking prescription antibiotics. Probiotic supplements have also become a very popular way to boost good bacteria in the system.
As the grocery store invasion of probiotic items kicks right into high gear, you may have some questions concerning ways to purchase and also utilize them. Here are some answers to five common concerns regarding probiotics as well as items which contain them.
Does the FDA Regulate the Term "Probiotics"?
In 2001, the Food as well as Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations– not the FDA– defined "probiotics" as "live microorganisms which, when administered in ample quantities, give a health benefit on the host.".
Up until now, the U.S. Food as well as Drug Administration (FDA) has approved no certain wellness claims for probiotics. Additionally, the quantities of probiotics that researches have found to be beneficial differ from strain to stress and condition to problem.
In 2007, the FDA ratified regulations needing dietary supplements to be created in a top quality manner, to be free of pollutants or pollutants, and to be properly identified. Many probiotic scientists are really hoping these regulations will boost the high quality of probiotic supplements in the United States.
Which Strains of Probiotics Should I Look For?
Researches have actually revealed different pressures of probiotics to supply different benefits. If you're seeking nutritional assistance for the body immune system, probiotic microbiology expert Mary Ellen Sanders, MS, PhD, suggests keeping an eye out for:.
Bifidobacterium lactis HN019. This strain aids modulate some aspects of the immune system in older people (it's offered as an active ingredient for dairy and supplement products).
Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC55730 (offered in BioGaia Gut Health items).
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) (in Danimals drinkable yogurt and also Culturelle pills).
Lactobacillus casei DN-114 001 (in DanActive items).
Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12 (offered in Yo-Plus yogurt, LiveActive cheese). Utilize this raw for ideal results.
What Should I Look for on the Label of a Food Containing Probiotics?
The first thing you would like to look for is the full probiotic name, which includes the genus, types, then the strain. Several items containing probiotics listing simply the genus and varieties on the package, such as "bifidobacterium lactis" in Kraft's LiveActive Cheddar Cheese Sticks.
You may would like to have a look at the web site of the business that markets the item. It could inform you much more regarding:.
Just how much of the probiotic each serving of the item includes.
The research that suggested a health benefit from the probiotic in question, as well as the quantity of probiotic that was utilized in the study.
Are probiotic supplements beneficial?
Sanders thinks that probiotics can be efficient when eaten either in food or tablet kind.
"Food sources of probiotics have the advantage in that they supply excellent nourishment in addition to the probiotic bacteria," she says. Still, supplements can be more hassle-free for some individuals and might give greater degrees of probiotic, depending on the product concerned, she says.
"The most crucial factor to consider is that the item– meals or supplement– provide ample varieties of effective probiotics for your requirements," Sanders claims.
Are Probiotics Safe for Everyone?
Individuals who are acutely sick or which have actually a compromised immune system should be cautious concerning eating probiotic products and probiotic supplements. Scientists are still trying to figure out which kinds of illness and ailments should avert the use of probiotics.
Although no studies have shown probiotics to be unsafe in healthy folks, Barry Goldin, MS, PhD, a teacher at Tufts University School of Medicine, claims terminally ill cancer people and folks with problems with the potential for dripping bowels, consisting of severe pancreatitis, need to NOT eat probiotics.
Merely to be safe, inform your medical professional if you're thinking about taking (or eating) probiotics frequently.

Former tavern site subject of pair of hearings
The tavern at 13 Manchester Road was demolished two years ago to make way for development as part of the town's Manchester Road expansion project. Since then, the 1.38 acre site has been for sale.
Councilor Neil Wetherbee said the project has been going well and the sale of the property would benefit the town.
Wetherbee said he would also like to see another property in town known as the Difeo site possibly added back to the tax rolls. The property at Central Court, once the site of Difeo Oil, was purchased by the town in 2008 for $225,000.
But the work has been slowed by monitoring wells that are on the property. Budreau said earlier this month that the town is working to ensure all of the wells are flagged before a contractor can come in with equipment to begin the operation.
"That's something that I would like to see back on the tax rolls," he said.
The property isn't presently for sale. Plans to sell the one-acre site have been delayed because of another possible land deal, Wetherbee said.
