Signs and Symptoms
General malnutrition often develops slowly, over months or years. As the body's store of nutrients is depleted, changes begin to happen at the cellular level, affecting biochemical processes and decreasing the body's ability to fight infections. Over time, a variety of symptoms may begin to emerge, including:Specific nutrient deficiencies may cause characteristic symptoms. For instance, vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to tingling, numbness, and burning in the hands and feet (due to nerve damage), a lack of vitamin A may cause night blindness and increased sensitivity to light, and a lack of vitamin D can cause bone pain and malformation. The severity of symptoms depends on the intensity and duration of the deficiency. Some changes, such as to bone and nerves, may be irreversible.

Baseball prodigy Jubeh Yakyu is the most feared and dangerous juvenile delinquent in all of Japan. After accidentally causing the death of his father with a super-powered fireball pitch, Jubeh swore off baseball, but his life of crime leaves him in the Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory, at the mercy of Headmistress Ishihara, the granddaughter of a World War II Nazi collaborator, and her sadistic assistant, Ilsa.
Despite having sworn never to play baseball again, Jubeh is presented with an ultimatum: join the reformatory team, The Gauntlets, in the national tournament, or witness the death of his innocent cellmate. Jubeh is now in a fight for his life against the sexy but deadly "psycho butcher girls" of the St. Black Dahlia High School. These teams are literally playing for blood!

Construction will soon begin on a cardboard cathedral to temporarily replace Christchurch Cathedral.
The Christchurch Anglican diocese has commissioned renowned Japanese architect Shigeru Ban to design a cathedral capable of seating more than 700 people.
The temporary cathedral, which would be constructed of locally produced cardboard tubes erected in an A-shape over a foundation of shipping containers, would be available as a venue for both religious services and concerts.
It is expected the structure will be finished by December 2012

Morfin Gaunt's first snake | |

Before 1925 |
Also known as |
Little Snakey (by Morfin Gaunt) |

This snake (d. early 1900s) was presumably a pet of pure-blood wizard Morfin Gaunt. It killed by it's owner sometime before 1925.
This snake somehow came into Morfin Gaunt's possession in the late 1800s or early 1900s. It had a very short life as Morfin killed it sometime before 1925, and then nailed it to the door of the House of Gaunt, much to everybody's frightening.

Need to "revamp" my suspension
I recently got my truck on the road for the first time since I have owned it. It runs good but it doesn't drive so good. To summarize it was a balljoint breaking that caused the damage, I bought it cheap, fixed the front right suspension (new bj's U&L, tie rod ends, sway bar link, new cv boot, and brake hose) Naturally I couldnt wait to get it on the road. I immediately started using it as my DD. I notice right off that it had a slight lean, broken leaf spring on left side. I also noticed how bad out of alignment it is. I was told to wait on the alignment until I repaired the leaf spring or it will need to be re-aligned. Both leaf springs are flattened completely and one is broken. The truck rides rough and is all over the road. Also it shakes like hell when I slow down abruptly. I have hardly nothing in the truck so I would like to put a little money into an upgraded suspension. Keep in mind I have no experience other than fixing the things I did to get it running and putting a 3inch s AAL lift on my old tacoma. I would like to get it to ride and handle very well on and off road. I occasionally do minor trail riding. Also I do want to go with 33" tires so I need suggestions on lifts. So in conclusion, what all do I need to replace/buy other than the obvious cracked leaf springs, what are affordable options for those parts?
Thanks! |
Honestly, replace it all, new leafs, new shocks, new UCA'S...will ride better than ever on road and off road. Just use the search function here, find yourself the lift/components you think will work for you, and off you go....then you'll realize you want more...and more...and more...*shudder*

Don't run before you can walk. I was the same when I first started to code, but I promise you if you're truely serious about learning then it's always better to start simple and build up.
Even if you can do something complicated first time, I guarantee by the end you won't remember how you did half of it without looking back on the code. Doing simple things and progressing into harder things makes concepts stick and is better practice.
Anyway, rant over. There's plenty of tutorials on the Internet covering simple game creation. Just punch something like "Writing games" + Java into Google..
And you get stuff like this:

In this installment of the Lighting with Flash series, photographer and Strobist.com publisher David Hobby demonstrates using strobes to freeze action while capturing the strength and grace of a dancer in motion. After working through the lighting challenges of a dance studio, David sets up a white, seamless background and shoots some test shots, adjusting the flash units to create a white "blow-away" background that will enable the photo to be easily composited. Next, he photographs the dancer, working with her to capture a relaxed expression as she leaps and strikes various poses. After the action shots, David lights and shoots a portrait.
Okay, we need a little more light out of this I think. Do not try this at home. I'm a professional. So I'm going to focus on the mark, just as a dumb guess. All right, go ahead and pop through that just like you did, Okay, let's take a quick look at this. You want to look? Stephanie Yezek: Sure.
Okay, so I'm missing you just a little bit, so I may move that. Stephanie: Oh! I was like, what is that black? It's my pants. It's interesting. It's very flamingo actually. Yes, yes, oh yeah the layer, definitely. So I may move your mark a little bit that way, like two feet maybe, because I got so much room on the light on the other side. I would like to get this other, this background light, higher. I'm going to have to to switch stands, and I want to take it down in intensity just a little bit, so if you can give me just a moment.
This one looks fine. So I'm going to move your mark this way. How's this floor on your feet? Are you okay. Okay, great! Is it better than the rocks and glass we had on the-- Stephanie: Actually, I mean yeah, it was a nail I think. David Hobby: Always pull it out from the front, you know, don't back it out. That's bad. Right. So I want this a little less hot. Two thirds of a stop I just took off of it.
So these are like really dim right now. These are just about 164th power. All right, let's try one of those again. Where was I? I'm going to back up a little bit and use a longer lens too. Where's my dot? Could I get you to stand just like one foot your side of the mark.
I'm going to focus on your face, and I need my thingamabob. Whoa, whoa. I had the--what is it?--the VR on in the lens, so it was like getting drunk on me. Normal active, normal, okay. So no fill on this.
Really nice highlights on the background, on her, so okay. So what I'm doing is I'm looking at the difference between these two with this ring flash. This ring flash is really trying to work going this far. I used a bigger version of this, a similar kind of a light.
I used a pro photo ring flash as opposed to-- Okay, so right now I'm just looking and seeing what my fill looks like dialed in, and this looks actually very good. Okay, the question is, can I hold all of this? So there. Okay, so I'm going to send you through that mark again, and let's see if I can hold you all in the frame. Okay, this is actually getting pretty close. You want to take a look at this? Okay, so think about your body attitude now and such.
Stephanie: I'm not quite sure what's going on there. Arms are not-- I don't know. Okay do want to be more, less horizontal, more rotated away from me a little bit, do you think? Stephanie Yezek: Yeah maybe that's, something like that. David: Okay, and I'm thinking about accent lighting you from lower, as opposed to trying to out-height you, which I don't know that I can do. Since my main light is coming from up top, maybe I push the accents from down low.
This may look really cool or it may just really look bad, but we won't know until we do it. It also can give more of an illusion of height for you, so I think that can be cool too. Stephanie: Oh but how about it against the back? I mean it looks almost super-imposed. Isn't it independent of height when jumping? David: So but the fact that those rim lights are coming from up underneath you, it's almost more of a psychological thing than a physical thing.
Subtle. Now that can get just down to ground. I can't get this as low as that one. Okay, so they both are a tad high. Okay, so when you're going up, rather than straight towards me, you may want to keep your body more rotated around towards Dave Kyle.
It's all about Dave Kyle at this point. You know what I'm going to do, very quickly too, I'm going to set up-- We've got, do we have one more stand? Male Speaker: I do if you need one. David: Good, good, good I'm going to throw an umbrella on this and not have to worry about this ring light, so I'm changing up my fill from a ring to an umbrella that's very close to the axis. And frankly, I can even make it nicer than that by taking--this is a fairly white wall, so I'm going to take a light and fire it into that white wall and see how much I can get off of it. It doesn't get much more simpler than that. Oh! The light is in the Orbis.
So as long as I can keep this from hitting my camera, that should give me a pretty good, pretty good pop off of there. Did I just kill your chip? Okay, just stand one foot your side of the mark, if you could, Stephanie. Thank you. That's going to be one less thing to worry about.
So I'm getting a ton of fill off of that, way more than I thought. I can drop that down on another two thirds of the stop, maybe even a full stop. Let's try it with a full stop. Okay, don't move Stephanie. Maybe another two thirds of a stop. This is a very efficient wall. I don't need to walk back there to do this. There we go.
So this is almost being like a--it's an on-axis fill-ish, kind of close, with a little bit of shadow on that side, but I'm okay with that, because I've get a rim light happening back there anyway, so--All right, let's try that, and don't put too much into this. I'm trying to save you. Oh, oh! Hit your mark for a second. Let me focus on you. Thank you. Okay. That's really nice! I like your arms much better when you're rotating like that. So take a look at that. What do you think? Stephanie Yezek: Oh yeah, it's better. So what do you want to fix about this, body-attitude-wise? Let me come in close and be looking at your face at the same time.
I'd like to get that light up a little higher coming down on you.

Issues and disputes related to land are often at the root of violent conflict in Africa. Land issues therefore need to be addressed in a comprehensive way that maximises the productive capacity of people and natural resources, while also minimising the risk of violent conflict and instability. Incorporating a conflict-sensitive approach when designing and implementing land policies and land reform is consequently crucial in order to realise increased equity, greater socio-economic development and food security, as well as contribute to peace and stability on the continent.

The role of the environment and natural resource management in peacebuilding is particularly important, as it can facilitate trust-building and benefit sharing. The analysis of Lake Albert, shared by Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, shows that peacebuilding opportunities exist even where high-level political agreements are lacking when initiatives integrate and rely on local stakeholders. The study of three domains of environmental interaction (environment and protected area management; water and fishery; energy and oil) reveals that while there is increasing competition and tension around resources, they also offer entry points for trust-building between and within countries. The study concludes with recommendations to donors who should focus on strengthening existing ties between communities, providing opportunities for benefit-sharing from sustainable resource management, and increasing inclusiveness of all stakeholders into local, national and transboundary development processes.

This case study seeks to analyse the peacebuilding potential of regional cooperation initiatives in the Great Lakes Region of Africa. It highlights two such initiatives on cross-border trade and energy that integrate peacebuilding objectives: the International Conference for the Great Lakes Region (IC/GLR) and the Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL). Within the report, attempts are made to measure the success rate of the two regional cooperation initiatives in reaching their objectives and what obstacles hindered their progress. The study then concludes with recommendations for the European Commission and other donors to improve regional cooperation in the Great Lakes.

A web of regional cooperation formats has been established throughout the South Caucasus to foster cooperation across conflict divides in the areas of environment, economy and natural resource management. They aim at supporting dialogue, confidence-building and conflict transformation: Conflict parties share many interests and cooperation could satisfy them, while bringing estranged communities closer together. However, the web is often fragmented and asymmetric. Three issues are central to facilitating cooperation: (1) identifying authentic interests to assure ownership; (2) connecting agents of change capable of influencing their societies; and (3) tailoring formats of cooperation to the complex reality of the South Caucasus.

The cluster 'Regional Cooperation on environment, economy and natural resource management' has been looking at the role regional cooperation initiatives in these three areas can play in peacebuilding. The cluster's work primarily focuses on researching initiatives in the Andean Region of Latin America, the Great Lakes Region of Africa, the Middle East and the South Caucasus. This synthesis report highlights and extracts common patterns from these case studies. The first and second sections of this synthesis report introduce different types of regional cooperation and briefly summarise the opportunities for each cooperation area. The third section discusses important obstacles to regional cooperation. The report then makes recommendations to policy-makers designing new or overseeing existing initiatives with the aim of contributing to peacebuilding.

This case study seeks to deepen the understanding of how the peacebuilding effects of regional water cooperation can best be harnessed, supported and sustained. It analyses two existing initiatives involving Jordanians, Israelis and Palestinians: the Good Water Neighbors (GWN) project and the Regional Water Data Banks Project. The case analysis focusses on the design and implementation of cooperative processes, as both the form and content of cooperation are critical for peacebuilding. Building on the analysis of the two cases, as well as on broader knowledge on water cooperation, the report concludes with recommendations for funding agencies and third parties.

This paper seeks to deepen the understanding of the intersection between the management of non-renewable natural resources and diverse forms of conflict in three countries of the Andean region (Colombia, Ecuador and Peru). It looks in particular at the root and proximate causes of conflict around oil and mining projects as well as voluntary mechanisms to govern private sector behaviour in zones with high levels of armed and/or social conflict. It concludes with recommendations as to how the EU and its member states can contribute to strengthening these mechanisms and the overall governance of non-renewable resources in the Andean region.

Whisper the Wonders
Travel, Punk Rock, Friends, and Memory
by Cayetano G. Valenzuela
Much of the work I am making now is deeply based in the process of memory. It is also a documentation of the subcultures of which I am a part. I use color and texture to depict memories caught midstream. I try to explore experiences that have poetic resonance and let the imagery of one memory blur into another.

Only about 31% of people now believe that THEIR own representative is the best person for the job. Even more hate congress as a whole. This runs counter to previous history where people generally hated congress but loved their own member. Now it appears that people still hate congress but also dislike their own member. What explains this change, if anything? Is it just ignorance (most don't even know the name of their own member of congress), anger, or something else driving these numbers?
1 Answer | Add Yours
It is hard to know for sure what is causing this change.
First, I would say that it is not ignorance. People have always been relatively ignorant about their own members. Therefore, this should not be a cause of change. So what else could be happening? My own view is that this is caused by the increasing polarization of politics in our country.
In recent years, our country has come to be more politically polarized than at any time in recent history. There are fewer moderates in the country. Things like talk radio and ideological blogs have created "echo chambers" in which people only hear opinions that conform to their own opinions. They come to hate the other side of the political spectrum much more than before.
This has two impacts. First, it means that they are likely to hate their member if that member is from the "wrong" party. In the past, a person might have liked their own member for "bringing home the bacon." Today, they are likely to hate that member if he or she is from the wrong party. Second, it means that they will not even be satisfied with a member from their own party unless that person is sufficiently angry at the other party. People denounce their own representatives now as sell-outs or as something other than true members of their party if their representatives try to reach compromises with the other side.
I would argue that this growing polarization is the main source of the declining regard in which people hold their own members of Congress.

Better look. They have the right idea as far as how to use our stuff. Killing our current set. Black and light blue is nice. UNC wears it too.
Indeed... But I do wish we'd strip our uniform down to be more UNC'ish. The yoke just needs to go. Doesn't work anymore.
Probably won't notice tweets from a team they don't bother to follow on their own pre-season team rundown shows. LOL
I guess I'm the only person who actually likes our unis. Helmet sucks. But that's an easy fix. I definitely don't see what the big deal is about the peewee unis XO posted. Regardless we need to pick a uniform and stick with it. Give it a chance to become one of the "classics" instead of worrying about fads and constant tweaking.
It'd actually have to be built with a classic look for that to be the case. Ours was very "2000's" much like the Broncos. I'd like us to go more timeless with it. Along the lines of: I even like our practice looks better than our gameday:
I don't care for the pee-wee duds either. I agree with Deuce - the practice unis show with a new helmet design would be very nice. I fear that the team will be a radical Nike treatment soon enough and it will not be classic or classy. The numbers will probably be swords or space invaders or something wretched and there will be some mindless random stripes going on. Funny that Damien Stafford has a padres tattoo in the pic above..
I just read The Eagles are going back to the old kelly green outfits. Since their current unis are so bitchin they should just let us have them when they switch..

13 Actors Whose Faces You Know From TV But Names You Don't
They've been making a living in Hollywood for being talented (or just beautiful) for years now. Perhaps it's time you learned who they are.
He played Jessica Biel's boyfriend Ben on "7th Heaven."
His brother played his fake brother on the show also.
He was also in "The Finder."
You can see him now on Ben and Kate.
Most people got to know her as Gia, the mean girl from "Full House."
But she was also on The Practice for a long time.
And in the movie "Sugar and Spice."
Oh, and Dude Where's My Car? Plus Whatever It Takes with Shane West.
But if you stay up late enough, you can watch her on ION in the made-for-tv movie "A Christmas Wedding Date."
She'll may never out-famous herself past her role on "How I Met Your Mother" as Victoria.
Though she was in Something Borrowed recently (and is the sister of Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Brad Paisley's wife and Peggy on Nashville).
He started out as Oliver on "Dawson's Creek", a friend of Dawson's who was lame because everyone Dawson associated himself was lamer because of it.
Right now, he plays Frankie Rizzoli on "Rizzoli & Isles."
And was Rachel in one of Judd Apatow's many cancelled-too-soon shows, "Undeclared."
He played Poot in "Stick It."
A movie that has a surprisingly rabid fan base.
He was the hated (and quickly removed) Aaron Rose on "Gossip Girl."
And played an adorable character named Mikey in the Netflix Instant-available film "TiMER."
It's a great movie. Watch it.
She plays FBI agent Lana Delaney on "The Good Wife."
Flint's got a following in the gay community because of her role, but it's unclear where that plotline is going because Lana sucks. This GIF might be the most badass that character ever gets.
She's also Jill on "Royal Pains."
Sorry to the real Jill: this character is also boring.
And Dell, the young surfer staff member, in "Private Practice" before being dramatically killed off, as is usually the case with Shonda Rimes shows.
You've also seen him in "The Help" and "Up in the Air."
But she was also on the short-lived "Eli Stone."
And she did a stint on Veronica Mars.
10. Michael Cassidy
He's the one on the right. That other dude is Danny Masterson.
He played Zach on "The O.C."
As well as characters on other WB/CW shows, like Privileged, Smallville and Hidden Palms.
And a stripper on "What About Brian."
But she's also been on Boston Legal, Swingtown and A Gifted Man.
You know her as the original Victoria in "Twilight"
But Bryce Dallas Howard was recast in the role because Lefevre decided to do another movie and thought they would accomodate her. Girl, you're not Bella!
Right now, you can see her on "The Newsroom", where she has basically no lines.
Aaron Sorkin, get it together.
She was Hannah on "Everwood" – her character got to date Chris Pratt!
She had a memorable cameo on "Glee" as Suzy Pepper, a student who was obsessed with Mr. Schuster.
That was, of course, back when that show actually had a consistent cast.
She was also sad housewife Kitty Romano on "Mad Men."
Right now, she's on "Grey's Anatomy" as a once-virginal doctor who has let loose.
People seem to like what her character's been up to.

SC GOP tries to stop speech by Haley critic Tom Ervin
S.C. GOP party leaders said they did not want Tom Ervin, who is running for governor as a petition candidate, to speak Tuesday to a group of Richland and Lexington counties Republicans.
State GOP chairman Matt Moore said his staff called organizers of the First Tuesday Republican Club of Richland and Lexington Counties about his concerns over Ervin. The former state lawmaker and judge from Greenville was a Democrat until 2005, when he ran again for the State House as a Republican. Party officials have accused Ervin, who originally filed to run in June's GOP primary, of being a closet Democrat.
"We were surprised to see Mr. Ervin on the agenda," Moore said. "He is not the Republican Party's nominee for governor. If there's a Chameleon Party, he should attend their lunches – since he continually changes his beliefs and party affiliation based on political circumstances."
Ervin filed to run in the GOP primary against incumbent Gov. Nikki Haley but pulled out to run as a petition candidate, saying that would give his campaign more time to reach voters. Subsequently, the state GOP threatened to sue Ervin for calling himself an "independent Republican" in a television ad.
"If you're not a Republican, I don't know who is," Lexington County GOP corresponding secretary Mickey Lindler, who organizes the First Tuesday meetings, told Ervin Tuesday.
Ervin's voice shook in anger when he mentioned the state party's call during his speech in West Columbia, saying the GOP was trying to infringe on his First Amendment rights. He is critical of the Haley administration, especially its handling of the deaths of children involved with the S.C. Department of Social Services.
"The status quo, career politicians are concerned about Tom Ervin," Ervin said. "They're concerned that I'm going to go all over South Carolina with a message of reform and hope and opportunity."
After the speech, Ervin said he has invitations to speak to other Republican groups, including on Friday to a Hilton Head Island group.
"It has energized me to work that much harder," Ervin said of the state GOP's efforts to stifle his speech.
State Republicans said they do not want voters confused about who has the GOP's backing. State chairman Moore said he reminded First Tuesday officials that state party rules "explicitly require supporting Republican nominees."
But the state GOP backed petition candidate Katrina Shealy in her successful 2012 run against state Sen. Jake Knotts, R-Lexington, Lindler noted.
The party backed Shealy after Knotts was blamed for political moves that blocked more than 200 candidates from the ballot.

Beating Thy Neighbor: Derby Effects in German Professional SoccerAgnes BäkerUniversity of Tuebingen - School of Business and Economics; University of Warwick - Department of Economics Mario MechtelUniversity of Trier - Institute of Labour Law and Industrial Relations in the European Community Karin VetterUniversity of Tuebingen December 1, 2010 Abstract: Derbies between two teams from the same city or region catch more public attention than "normal'' soccer matches. Terms such as "Old Firm" (Rangers vs. Celtic), "Merseyside" (Liverpool FC vs. Everton FC), "Superclásico'' (Boca Juniors vs. River Plate), and "Revierderby" (Dortmund vs. Schalke) are well-known even to people outside their respective countries of origin. Using data from the German Bundesliga from 1999 to 2009, we test whether derbies differ from other soccer matches with respect to the number of goals, match results, the number of scoring chances for both teams, and referee evaluations. We find some evidence for derby effects, for example, the home advantage of the home team with respect to the number of goals scored, the match result and the attempts vanishes whenever the match is a derby. With respect to the evaluation of the referee, we find evidence that sending-offs are associated with a lower referee performance grade in derbies. We conclude that referees make a greater number of wrong decisions in derbies with regard to sending-offs. However, when considering the overall marginal effects of a derby on our dependent variables, we find no significant differences between derbies and "normal" matches.

Re: Texans 2014 UDFAs
I want to see Cushing outside in base. I think he's a great fit outside opposite Clowney. He can rush and he would be a plus from that position in coverage. I'd play him right over the TE and then move him inside in nickel and dime.
Move Reed inside and let those guys fight it out for the starters roles. Maybe find more help on the waiver wire.
Either that or leave Reed outside because I just don't believe we can start Clowney and Mercilus at OLB. I think both are weakside edge rushers you want getting up the field and I'd prefer Clowney to play that role. I don't think Mercilus can play over the TE. Would much rather leave Reed outside as he can at least be serviceable there. Maybe mercilus can go to ILB. Mercilus is one of only two guys currently on the roster to be listed as just a LB without the inside or outside distinction.

Got my new iMac, How to check it
Dear experts, i just got my new 27" iMac (i5, 680MX, 1TB Fusion) now i would like to test that i have no problems with my hardware, display, etc. how would i do this? which tools?
thank you for your guidance here, i am sure many other would be also interested to check their new iMac's,,,it's quite big investment. Cheers!! |

Honestly Im not one to try to stress test a new iMac to find faults..
All I will be doing is checking for obvious cosmetic damage, That the specs are as I ordered, and then Im going to use it.. with a smile I reckon If I look hard enough I'll find something not quite perfect. and i'd rather not! If a 'fault' isnt apparent in my every day use, then to me.. its not a fault. I dont want to spoil my new toy feeling by looking for miniscule imperfections that would then bug me.

I have to say, I had a long list of things to do and I did have a good close inspection, put it through its paces but I didn't do any of the formulaic tests.
I had a shopping list ready, but didn't go through with it. Probably too lazy. Or didn't want to find any faults as I really don't want to wait for weeks to get a replacement. Besides, with AppleCare I am sure problems will be sorted whenever they arise. Here's my shopping list in case it helps: Image retention test: 1. Set your background to dark gray (Preferences>Desktop&Screen Saver>Solid colors> and look for the dark gray at middle top row of solid colors 2. Pull up safari and go to your fav website and leave it up on your screen for 10 minutes (example, you can leave anything static on your screen) 3. Minimize Safari and see if you have IR Other checks: Dead pixels? Backlight bleed? Stuck pixels? Scratches on aluminum? Scratches on glass? Yellowing on screen? Uniform color across screen? Level display or crooked? Image Retention? Fan noise? CPU matches order? GPU matches order? RAM matches order? Camera works? Speakers work? Fusion drive matches order? Brand of hard disk (Would appear the Seagate Baracuda ST1000DM003 is better than the Western Digital WD10EALX)? |

You should of course check a lot of things to ensure that you got what you paid for. You don't buy a car without test driving it, right?
I did check that all the hardware was correct and that it worked as it should, I checked for image retention, dead and stuck pixels and yellow tint. The only "issue" I've had so far is a little bit of backlight bleeding in the bottom corners but I can barely notice it even I turn the brightness up to the max and look at the screen from an extreme downward angle. But then again, it's pretty much impossible to get a screen nowadays without any backlight bleeding whatsoever. If you have then consider yourself super lucky. I'm extremely satisfied with my 27" iMac so far. |

The point I'm making is this
If I go and look for problems - you bet I'll find them. If there IS a problem. Ill see it in normal use. Ie. no need for IR testing etc. It will become obvious quickly if any issues are there. And if they are apple will sort it. I'm coming from a genuine positive headspace of assuming its ok unless I see otherwise As oppose some people who have tied themselves in knots assuming their machine will be faulty and then going out to look for the faults. I doubt anyone has absolute perfection. So if you look hard enough you will find something that will just disappoint you. You may not even have noticed until you went looking Once you know about a tiny tiny flaw in a display. You will constantly be drawn to it. Everyone's tolerance of imperfections is different. I'm a fussy woman. But I have faith in the product I bought and the AppleCare. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise So I'll save myself the stress and just enjoy it

1. Hardware specs match what I ordered. 2. No dents or scratches on body (I'll accept small scratches on the backside) 3. Nothing is visibly wrong with display (dead pixels). 4. Machine shuts down/starts up/restarts ok. If the above checks out I'm a happy camper.

Great Check List
Anyone who says you shouldn't stress test or check your iMac out is misleading you. The iMac can be stressed, its not a paper towel. It's a hardcore piece of equipment and can handle 10 minutes of a checkerboard, and or checking to make sure your fans are ok, etc. You have 14 days to check your iMac out, and thats why Apple lets you get a replacement within 14 days. So if you don't want to check it, then I have a few cars I would like to see you as well

Author(s): | Therese P. McAllister; |
Title: | Structural Fire Response and Probable Collapse Sequence of World Trade Center Building 7, Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-9) VOLUMES 1 and 2 |
Published: | November 20, 2008 |
Abstract: | This report provides technical documentation of how NIST reconstructed the effects of the events on September 11, 2001 on WTC 7. This includes how the fires that followed the impact of debris from the collapse of WTC 1 (the north tower) led to the collapse of WTC 7; an evaluation of the building evacuation and emergency response procedures; what procedures and practices were used in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the building; and areas in current building and fire codes, standards, and practices that warrant revision. This report also describes how NIST reached its conclusions. NIST complemented in-house expertise with private sector technical experts; accumulated copious documents, photographs, and videos of the disaster; conducted first-person interviews of building occupants and emergency responders; analyzed the evacuation and emergency response operations in and around WTC 7; performed computer simulations of the behavior of WTC 7 on September 11, 2001; and combined the knowledge gained into a probable collapse sequence. |

Funny how tough you guys are without Laraque around now. I'll not bore you with a link to the infamous pic where Lucic wouldn't even look at him. Say who won Pouliot vs Krejic, Moen vs Ferrence, Price vs Thomas, White vs Boychuk etc. ??? Y...ou know the fights where people actually squared off that nobody seems to dwell on, not to mention the season series. Also curious, is Savard going to be back for the playoffs? Not that it will matter we'll just let you guys play caveman hockey and let the wins pile up but, I have no interest in watching that vegetable lay on the ice drooling evertime he gets hit. I'm not trying to be rude but, I don't want anything to delay us inevitably knocking yas out yet again. I should also note the only good thing Matt Cooke ever done was save the Bruins 6 mil a year by knocking that drama queen out 4 good. Maybe we should even sign Ulf Samuelsson for the night too! I'm tired of the camera cutting away to Sea Bass in his suit thats too small for his fat gut!

Mechanical couplings, flat direction, a script so thin that light passes through it, and minimal production values all serve to make Gold Coast the perfect match for one's fast-forward button.
Crystal Gold certainly has the physical goods. Question for this feature is, will she ever stop coastin' on 'em and grasp the fact that performers are supposed to like, you know, actually perform? The rating is the answer.

Daley Reflects On First Year Of Retirement
CHICAGO (CBS) — More than a year after leaving office, Richard M. Daley reflected on his time as mayor on Monday, and spoke about missing his late wife Maggie, missing everyday people, and even missing the media who covered him for almost a quarter century as mayor.
Daley was the keynote speaker Monday morning at NeoCon 2012, a furniture and interior design exposition at the Merchandise Mart.
CBS 2's Dorothy Tucker reports the title of mayor might be gone, but Daley is still a highly sought-after representative of the city he once ran. Speaking engagements are on a long list of how Daley spends his time these days.
"I'm always up early, and so of course I work out. And then, I'm with the Katten (Muchin Rosenman LLP) law firm, which I really respect, and we just opened up an office in Shanghai," Daley said. "So I keep busy with lecturing at the University of Chicago, (and serving on) the Coca-Cola board."
It's a full schedule, though not as hectic as the six or seven days a week he worked as mayor, which he admitted he sometimes misses.
"What I miss most as Mayor after 22 years, is that Saturday exposure to the real people of the city of Chicago," Daley said of his regular Saturday appearances at various community events in Chicago, such as anti-violence marches. "These people are extraordinary; fighting gangs, guns and drugs."
Asked what else he misses about his time as mayor, Daley jokingly said, "the press."
Without the press jamming microphones and cameras in his face on a regular basis, everyday people get a chance to take pictures.
Daley appeared happy and relaxed.
He said he's in good health, and he voluntarily talked briefly about life without his wife of 41 years.
"Of course I miss Maggie," Daley said. "I met people in 22 years in this city, they're exceptional people. So, I keep in contact in so many different ways with them. I think that's what makes Chicago so great, its people."
NeoCon is the country's largest contract furniture trade show for businesses. It runs through Wednesday at the Merchandise Mart.

Chemical evolution of high-mass stars in close binaries - II. The evolved component of the eclipsing binary V380 Cygni
Pavlovski, K., Tamajo, E., Koubsky, P., Southworth, J. (John), Yang, S. and Kolbas, V.. (2009) Chemical evolution of high-mass stars in close binaries - II. The evolved component of the eclipsing binary V380 Cygni. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol.400 (No.2). pp. 791-804. ISSN 0035-8711

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15479.x
The eclipsing and double-lined spectroscopic binary V380 Cyg is an extremely important probe of stellar evolution: its primary component is a high-mass star at the brink of leaving the main sequence whereas the secondary star is still in the early part of its main sequence lifetime. We present extensive high-resolution echelle and grating spectroscopy from Ondrejov, Calar Alto, Victoria and La Palma. We apply spectral disentangling to unveil the individual spectra of the two stars and obtain new spectroscopic elements. The secondary star contributes only about 6 per cent of the total light, which remains the main limitation to measuring the system's characteristics. We determine improved physical properties, finding masses 13.1 +/- 0.3 and 7.8 +/- 0.1 M-circle dot, radii 16.2 +/- 0.3 and 4.06 +/- 0.08 R-circle dot, and effective temperatures 21 750 +/- 280 and 21 600 +/- 550 K, for the primary and secondary components, respectively. We perform a detailed abundance analysis by fitting non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) theoretical line profiles to the disentangled spectrum of the evolved primary star, and reveal an elemental abundance pattern reminiscent of a typical nearby B star. Contrary to the predictions of recent theoretical evolution models with rotational mixing, no trace of abundance modifications due to the CNO cycle are detected. No match can be found between the predictions of these models and the properties of the primary star: a mass discrepancy of 1.5 M-circle dot exists and remains unexplained.

Our new HP cluster has 25208 HCAs (Mellanox Arbel) but a new vendor-id... We have 0x1708 (presumably HP, hardware wise Cisco (Mellanox)) to add to the existing list in share/openmpi/mca-btl-openib-hca-params.ini that currently contains: # Mellanox 0x2c9 # Cisco 0x5ad # Silverstorm 0x66a # Voltaire 0x8f1
Somewhat related question 1: Is there a blessed way to map these ids back to strings?
question 2: Is 1024 really the best MTU for DDR Arbel? I seem to remember this being 2048...

Have you ever wondered how religion has influenced our language just try exclaiming!!!!
Does anyone have any decent non-theist exclamations?
Thanks : )
"By Odin's beard" I've heard said before..
Thrall's Balls! From World of Warcraft. Thrall was the leader, until recently, of one of the two major factions in the game.
I stick to the saying I first heard Bender say on Futurama. Oh your god.
The most religious I get with my exclamations is "Sweet zombie Jesus!"
I like Bender's but he is so confrontational. I'd like to use that with christians. Litmus test though is my grandma.
Help me baby cheeses!
Oh no - I love using these and elaborating them
"Jesus Christ shit the bed and had a haircut", "Christ on a windsurfer" or on special occasions "Jesus c*nting Christ" I have used on occasion, mainly as it really pisses of Theists. You have to remember the more hardcore, the more they hate blasphemy which to me is a carte blanche to exercise my militant atheism and ridicule them.
So yes you could say religion has influenced my language :o)
Would you say these things to your lovely great aunt who doesn't like a potty-mouth?
Nothing I'd use in polite company...
Oh c'mon, spill the beans!

dc.description.abstract | In this dissertation project, I examine the experiences of displaced Hurricane Katrina survivors in the context of post-disaster housing policies and practices. This research is based on two years of in-depth interviews with Katrina survivors who were displaced to Austin, Texas. I analyze these interviews to understand the raced, classed, and gendered implications of post-disaster housing policies and to consider what these implications reveal about the relationship between social policies, housing, and social inequality more broadly. This project is informed by an intersectional understanding of social stratification systems and inequalities and a critical analysis of neoliberal social policy. First, I outline the gender, family, and class ideologies embedded in government-run post-Katrina housing policies and practices, and show how they specifically disadvantaged people who did not conform to them. I identify temporal domination as a specific aspect of class oppression evident in respondents' experiences with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) rental assistance programs. Next, I specifically examine respondents' experiences settling into their new neighborhoods and searching for jobs. I found that many black survivors ended up in segregated remote areas of the city, far from jobs and public transportation. Their job searching experiences suggest that employers used racist stereotypes about Latino workers to coerce them to work for low wages. This reveals the complex and interrelated racial dynamics of low-wage urban housing and labor markets. Finally, I explore how survivors got by in the face of such difficult and in some cases dire circumstances. One primary way survivors coped with the uncertainty caused by their displacement was relying on their social networks. While women tended to depend on adult child - parent and other familial relationships, men tended to distance themselves from the potential support of their mothers and other relatives. Respondents also constructed fictive kin relationships to provide support to others, sometimes for the explicit purpose of ensuring one or both members of the relationship had access to stable housing. This reveals how both gender and family relationships can shape disaster recovery and everyday experiences of poverty. Overall, this project contributes to the study of race/class/gender inequality, social policy, housing, and disaster recovery. |

One Dies In Fiery Washington Crash, Motorists Scramble To Save Three Others
MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) -- A truck driver and other motorists scrambled to save the lives of four people following a fiery three-car freeway crash in which one person died and seven were injured, state troopers said.
A southbound Ford Explorer crossed the median on Interstate 5 about 30 miles north of Seattle and slammed into two northbound vehicles, a Chevrolet Suburban and a Toyota Tundra pickup truck, shortly before 1:30 p.m. PST Wednesday.
The Explorer and Tundra burst into flames that also threatened to engulf the Suburban with five people inside, and a Mercedes Benz sport utility vehicle was hit by flying debris, Washington State Patrol trooper Lance Ramsay said.
``This is the worst crash I've seen in 13 years,'' Ramsay said.
``It looked like a house fire in the middle of the freeway,'' said Nathan Trauernicht, spokesman for the Marysville Fire Department.
A woman in the Suburban died, and the intense heat melted a window and tail lights before trucker Jim Swett, 68, of Sedro-Woolley, and other drivers managed to attach a towing strap from his rig to pull the mangled sport utility vehicle away from the flames.
Swett's quick thinking and heroics ``saved four lives,'' Ramsay said.
``It was hot, hot. It feels like I have a sunburn,'' Swett said. ``We were afraid the gas tank would blow.''
Others broke a window to get a woman out of one of the burning vehicles and used a crowbar to break open a door and get two children out of the Suburban, Swett said.
``It was a bunch of good, hardworking people who made the effort,'' he said. ``It makes you feel good that there are people out there to help.''
Firefighters used Jaws of Life equipment to free Martha Holschen, 47, of Bothell, the driver, and a second female from the Suburban, and both were flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with critical injuries.
The accident closed the freeway's northbound lanes north of Everett and traffic was detoured through Marysville through the evening rush hour, backing up traffic for miles.
The children, Keegan Holschen, 9, and Jake Holschen, 12, were listed in stable condition at Providence Everett Medical Center.
The driver of the Explorer, Juliann Odom, 22, of Bellevue, was in satisfactory condition at Harborview.
It was unclear whether the pickup driver, Johnny Henton, 68, of Oak Harbor, was hurt.
