Red Velvetview more less of this reviewGot to the venue way too early. The woman in front of my was also complaining that the website said 10:30 am. You were not let in until after 11 am. There's only 6 brunch Sundays this summer and I went to the first one. I recommend getting to the venue at 10:30 am because you have to line up. Food goes fast and the venue had many empty tables. Speaking of the food it wasn't bad. The show was good, but they didn't sing their signature song I am Socially Awkward. That is always a highlight of the show. Being a Red Velvet Member did not get me any better seats here, which was a disappointment. I would recommend taking out-of-town guests to this show.

Dell's XPS 13 features aluminium and carbon fibre construction, and is blessed with looks that are appealling. It has some tiny drawbacks, in our opinion, but should nevertheless be considered if you're after an Ultrabook that has good build quality, fast performance, and long battery life.
The last time we had a look at the Dell XPS 13 was a couple of years ago, back when the CPU of choice was a second generation Intel Core product. Not much has changed with the unit since then in terms of the way it looks, but it does have a much improved fourth generation Intel Core CPU running things. It's an Ultrabook that's definitely worth your time, but it still has a few issues that could be annoying.
There was an overwhelmingly positive vibe about this 13.3in Ultrabook when we showed it to people in the office. The looks and overall design of the product seem to be a hit, and the screen also encouraged a few words of praise from the crowd — it's true, it is a nice screen — especially because it's a touchscreen and people could touch and move tiles around the Windows 8 Modern UI interface.
What we also heard was that it feels a little heavy, yet well balanced — it tipped our digital scales at 1.38kg. It features a combination of machined aluminium and carbon fibre in its construction, and apart from those materials making the body feel solid, the finish on the carbon fibre adds a bit of grip that makes the unit feel reassuring to hold — there is little to no chance of it accidentally slipping out of your hand.
A slim profile makes the XPS 13 look sporty, and true to the minimalist nature of things that are sporty, there isn't much to see along the sides. You get a couple of USB 3.0 ports (one on each side, which is useful), a combination headphone and microphone port, and a Mini DisplayPort.
There is also a button you can press that's linked to a battery indicator, so you can easily see if the unit needs to be charged without having to log in and check the remaining time as reported by Windows. If only one or two lights on the battery indicator come on, then you should plug in the compact charger to replenish the notebook's battery. The charger's plug has a white light so that you can find it even in the dark, and you'll have to unplug the charger from the wall if that light annoys you.
What's missing from the base is an SD card slot, which would come in handy for getting photos off a camera in a quick fashion (or to add a little more storage to the unit), and there also isn't an HDMI port, which would suit connections to a TV or projector easier than the included Mini DisplayPort. That said, the Mini DisplayPort could come in handy in a professional setting where a connection to a better-than-Full-HD monitor needs to be made.
Apart from that, you get usual features, such as a built-in webcam, dual-band Wi-Fi (though this is 802.11ac, which is faster than usual), and Bluetooth 4.0. The 802.11ac Wi-Fi performed well on our standard network, recording transfer rates that hovered around 20 megabytes per second on our 450Mbps router, using the 5GHz band. We also used the Bluetooth function effectively for streaming music to our Bluetooth-enabled stereo, though it did have some subsequent problems with pairing and we sometimes had to restart the machine to get the audio output working again.
The speakers are decent considering the size of the laptop, and should provide a reasonably enjoyable close listening experience.
Performance is fast thanks to a strong configuration that includes a fourth generation Intel Core i7-4500U CPU, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and a 256GB solid state drive (SSD). Graphics are handled by the Intel HD 4400 chip that's part of the CPU. In our Blender 3D test, the XPS 13 got a time of 44sec, while in our HandBrake DVD-to-MP4 conversion test it recorded 20min 12sec. These times are on par with what we've seen from other Ultrabooks that use the same CPU, such as Acer's Aspire S7-392.
Graphics performance as judged by the latest 3DMark tests was quite good, too, with the Intel HD 4400 chip recording 4624 in the mid-range Cloud Gate test, and 630 in the high-end Fire Strike test. Both are slightly faster than what the Acer scored using the same chip.
As for storage, the 256GB SSD could take little time to fill up if you're not selective in what you install and the data that you keep, but it's fast. In CrystalDiskMark, it recorded a read rate of 513.8MBps, and a write rate of 335.6MBps. Both are great results. During general usage, the XPS 13 felt responsive, with applications launching quickly, and boot up time was a mere 7sec (the time it took the Ultrabook to cold boot to the Windows login screen). It woke up from sleep in about 2sec from the moment we lifted the lid.
Battery life ended up being very good, with the XPS 13 lasting 7hr 15min in our rundown test. In this test, we loop a video after we disable power management (that is, putting it on high performance and not letting the screen switch off or dim), enable Wi-Fi, and use the maximum screen brightness. With lower screen brightness and a balanced power profile it will last longer, but it will depend on the tasks you run, too. The battery is internal and not removable, which is what allows the form factor to be slim and the build to be solid.
The overall user experience is a good one, with the XPS 13 feeling mostly comfortable to use. However, it did take us some time to get used to the keyboard, which has rounded, isolated keys that have their letters printed smack-bang in the centre of the key. None of the keys are in non-standard positions, though, which meant we could easily hit the Delete and Backspace keys during the flow of our typing sessions when we made mistakes — on some laptops these keys can be located in slightly different positions, such as on the ASUS Zenbook UX301, which has the power button where the Delete key should be.
Key travel is impressive considering the thin nature of the chassis, but the feel of the hit is quite hard once the key stops travelling. We think the keys need a little more resistance on the way down to counter this feeling. If you type at night, you'll appreciate the backlight, which looks good, and there are a couple of intensities to choose from. If the keys haven't been hit after a short while, the light switches off, but it comes back on again if you move the touchpad (in addition to hitting a key).
The touchpad is a large one (100x62mm), and it supports gestures such as two-finger scrolling and three-finger flicking. It was accurate during our tests, but the texture did feel a little too abrasive. Support for Windows 8 swipe-in gestures is included, though we found ourselves invoking these by mistake quite often. The pad is centred according the chassis rather than the space bar (though there's not much difference there).
Finally, the 13.3in touchscreen has a Full HD resolution and we love how vibrant it looks. Colours appear rich and the brightness is intensive enough to make the screen viewable in a well-lit office environment. Unfortunately the touchscreen's Gorilla Glass overlay is very glossy. Reflections were always annoying, but especially so when there was a light source located behind us.
Because the edges of the screen have a rubber outline that helps seal the lid against the chassis when it's closed, swipe-in gestures to bring up Charms or switch apps can feel irritating against your fingers.
Another annoying thing we noticed about the screen was a dynamic brightness change that occurred every time we switched from a dark screen to a bright screen. It had nothing to do with the adaptive screen brightness setting in Windows 8, which we disabled, and we couldn't find a setting anywhere else regarding this slight change in luminance.
When using this Ultrabook in your lap, heat could end up being an issue. Though the fourth generation Intel Core CPUs run efficiently in terms of how much heat they put out, the XPS 13 can, nevertheless, get quite warm. The base has air vents that can be easily blocked if you use the XPS 13 in your lap or on a soft surface. A fan pushes air out of the chassis through vents that are located along the spine, and this air comes out in front the screen when the lid is fully open. The fan is audible when it's running, but not as loud as it was on the older model we reviewed.
The Dell XPS 13 is very much a standard Ultrabook that has strong build quality, good battery life, and a vibrant, Full HD screen. We also like its fast storage. We'll be picky, though, and say that the keys could use some more resistance in their downward travel, and also that the touchpad could stand to be a little smoother against the skin. We also wish that the screen wasn't so glossy and that it didn't exhibit dynamic brightness changes.
Pricing for the XPS 13 starts from $1499 ($1899 in New Zealand), which includes a Core i5-4200U and a 128GB SSD. The unit we reviewed, with the Core i7-4500U CPU and a 256GB SSD, costs $1999 ($2599 in New Zealand).

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Stung is an awesome book. Fiona the main character is a girl who has awoken to a world not like ours. The world is filled with beasts or people with the vaccine. The vaccine makes you a rampage killing and a mindless freak. If you have a mark on your hand that looks like a circle with legs you are a beast or had the vaccine. Fiona has the mark and she is the highest level. Fiona has no clue what is going on. Fiona is awoken and wondering where she is. Eventually she gets caught by the militia. She meets Bowen. Bowen is her guardian. After a couple of days at the camp Bowen decides that Fiona is not safe there. Bowen takes her to a old factory where he store food and supplies in case he wanted to go rouge. The militia had tracked them down to the factory so they ran. After a night they find an old hotel. Bowen and Fiona are stating there until Bowen's brother gets there were a gang followed him. Bowen got shot by Fiona. His brother calls in the militia. Then they all go down an elevator shaft escaping the militia and the gang. Fiona gets caught by people. The people put her in a cage next to her brother. The next day a level 3 and a level 10 and her brother fight till the death. After the level 3 dies the level 10 dies. Bowen gets there and blows a hole through the ceiling. The doctors come people get medical help and the end. This sounds really good I had a really hard time getting into this one and I almost didn't read it. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't my thing. I didn't like the style of writing. That said, I would give the story itself 3 stars. I thought it was ok, and would definitely work for someone who doesn't want to read a huge book. I thought the "romance" part was a little forced, and I had a hard time really wanting to like the characters. It was confusing right up until the end when all of her memories came back. It seemed rushed and didn't flow well for me. Thanks to netgalley.com for allowing me access to the title. **This is gonna be spoilery. It cannot be helped. I will, however, tag any major spoilers. This went from okay/decent to bad to fuckin awful. AWFUL. I can't believe how bad it was by the end. At 97% - "Three minutes," the doctor says over his shoulder, sounding just like a … doctor. Yo, are you even trying anymore?! Stung is a book with no pretenses. You're thrust into a world you know nothing about with no explanations. I won't lie, I was totally confused in the beginning. I knew the MC was in the dark as well, so I just settled in for the ride and stopped worrying about it. I'd get answers as the MC got answers. By about halfway, I realized that even though the MC was getting answers, I still had no frikkin clue what was going on. As a matter of fact, even after having finished, if you asked me to summarize what this book is about: Bees? Pollen? Intense nonsensical teen luv? Whatever. The point is that this book is bad. So bad. As I mentioned, Fiona (the MC) has no idea what's happening. All she knows is that she's woken up somewhere very strange, very dark, and very dangerous. The danger isn't just to her. It turns out she's a danger to everyone else, as well. She's kept shackled and has a bunch of dudes pointing weapons at her and nearly killing her if she so much as sneezes. Sounds pretty good so far, no? Brace yourself. Some shit happens and after a day of having held Fiona captive, the dude who was in charge of the Dudes With Weapons, Bowen, manages to whisk her away, because of course, there's just something about Fiona that makes him see her differently than all the other dangerous "beasts". They go somewhere and hideout for another day and then love. No, seriously. Love. She loves him. After two days, she literally says "I love you." I shit you not. Sigh. That was the beginning of the end for me. At that point, the story stopped being a dark, dangerous mystery. It became a cheesy wuv story between two immature teens. I wasn't able to take it seriously after that. Worse than the insta-love was the sexism and portrayal of gender roles. OMG. Honestly, I couldn't believe some of the shit I was reading. If this book is to be believed, when the apocalypse comes, all men will become raging, violent rapists that act like complete Neanderthals. The mere mention of a woman will send them into weird maniacal rages and have them whooping, growling, and hollering in anticipation of all the rapin' that's a'comin. Geez. Now, sure, there would be rapists after an apocalypse, but I'd like to give men slightly more credit than to think that they'd all go rapin' mad. Making this angle even worse, is a moment between Bowen and Fiona after she has finally changed outta stinky clothes and into a pink sundress (because that's so practical during an apocalypse). This heart-warming exchange happens: "No," he says. "You cannot wear that." I look down at the sundress. "What's wrong with it?" He drags a hand down his weary face. "You look like a… woman. It's not safe." I think of the raiders and look back down at the dress. "When we leave, I'll change," I say. "But for now, it's comfortable. I feel like the old me." Bowen presses his hands to his temples and looks back out the window. "Fo, you're not safe from me… Fo, I'm a man and you're a beautiful woman… When I look at you, especially when you're dressed like this, I can't think straight, because even though my brain tells me that you're the most dangerous thing I've ever encountered, my heart… my body-" His mouth snaps shut and he stares deep into my eyes. That's right. She should change out of the pink sundress, lest he rape her, because, surely, a man cannot possibly be expected to control his body around a beautiful woman. So, if you insist on wearing that godforsaken pink sundress, expect rape. She changes her clothes, btw. She changes into baggy clothes and apologizes. To him. And: The air smells like… women – hairspray, lotion, perfume, powder – and bleach. Fuck is you talkin about?! Unable to move, I stare up at the glass seal, at the crowd of people staring down at me and cheering for my death. At the women – gasping, disgusted, but not looking away. At the men - drooling for violence and blood. Of course the delicate flowers are disgusted, but the strong men just drool for more death and destruction. "Now I see why you're so attached to her, Bowen. You're gettin' sugar," Tommy says. (After seeing Bowen and Fiona kiss.) Because Bowen couldn't possibly be attached to her for anything more than his gettin' some sugar. -_- Ugh. Whatever with this garbage. Add to all of that how stupid Fiona is and how she's constantly making idiotic choices. She even manages to shoot an ally accidentally.. You get the gist. Other than the beginning, which was confusing, but at least mysterious, there was nothing innovative or good about this book. It's crap. Skip it. For more of my reviews, visit my blog: Do not pass go, do not collect $200. The world has crumbled, and our main character, Fiona, doesn't know why. She only remembers being 13-years-old, but when she looks around she realizes no one has lived in her house in years and that her reflection looks much easier than it should be. Eventually, she learns there was a bee flu and deadly bees and a bad vaccine and all sorts of things, and that this has pretty much led to a downfall of society as far as she knows it. Well, first of all, there is almost no world-building in Stung. We get a little background on Fiona's life. Everything the reader gets to learn about the world in Stung comes from ONE televised interview that takes up two pages at most. It's basic, but I will say that at least this part makes sense. It turns out the vaccine has turned many children into beasts–an unfortunate side effect–that can't talk and don't act like humans at all. The more doses a child has, the more beast-like and un-human they are. Fiona is a level 10, and shouldn't be as human as she is. That's the main mystery in the second half of the book, and by far the best part about Stung. Other than this minor world-building, though, there are still so many questions left. For one, there's a large human trafficking ring because if a trafficker brings in a certain number of marked beasts or children, they're paid in ounces of honey, which has become a most precious commodity. My question–WHY? The bees have gone extinct, so honey is valuable. Okay, that sort of makes sense. BUT many other plants and animals have gone extinct and have to be artificially grown. Since those would actually have some sort of nutritional and filling value, WHY is honey the most precious resource? You would think people might be able to sell it for money, but I don't know because Stung never addresses this question. Towards the end of the book, there's another case of logic I could not buy. Fiona has been given the vaccine for the bee flu for ten months–several years ago–when she was thirteen. The same vaccine that makes people beast apparently has healing qualities when taken in small doses, and so Fiona is instructed to. . . KISS someone to transfer trace amounts of the vaccine to him. Or so says the doctor: " You still carry trace amounts of the vaccine. It has certain advantages in very small doses, certain healing properties." Doctor Grayson calmly explains. "If you can pass more of them on to Dreyden. . ." Okay, I do not claim to know much about science. But I have trouble buying the minute traces of the vaccine left over from five years ago can be passed on by kissing would actually help someone who was gravely injured.VACCINES DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT. It's beyond suspension of disbelief at this point. This type of logic comes up time and time again in Stung, from the way Fiona tries to pass for a boy to how the major world-building issues are addressed. Speaking of Fiona. . . why is she the main character? Oh right, because of something that happens to her. That's another theme that comes up again and again. Fiona may be one of the most passive characters I've ever read. I seriously cannot think of a main character who actually had less of an outcome on the plot than Fiona. The one thing she does that really affects ANYTHING–besides just existing–makes everything worse in a big way. And the thing is, I can't tell you anything about Fiona. She is a part of the story the plot happens to, and not a person who happens. She has no defining traits except she used to play piano. Is she friendly? Angry? tired? Caring? Ambitious? Daring? No clue. No personality. The only thing I know about Fiona is that she has the ability to fall in love within a day. She walks into a militia camp, recognizes someone from home, and falls in love. It's insta-love on both sides, but at least in Dreyden/Bowen's case, he nursed a crush on Fiona throughout her entire childhood. Which doesn't make the insta-love okay, but at least more understandable. Fiona seems to just fall in love–or decide she's in love–because he's something from her old life. And once they're together, it becomes mostly about their relationship, which I can't buy because of the sexism and other problematic elements. Dreyden's/Bowen's nickname for Fiona? Fotard. It was a way to pick on Fiona as children and then becomes a pet name. It's never said, but I can only assume that Fotard is Fiona retard. Is there really any other childhood insult? This is problematic and honestly, completely unnecessary. That entire problematic element could have just been deleted from the book. It's small, but irksome. That, however, is nothing compared to the sexism. Men now outnumber women seven to one, which apparently means that all men are now incapable of looking at a woman without 1)raping her, 2)Selling her to gangs that will rape or trade her, or 3)Taking her for a bride to repopulate society. This is problematic in itself, with the idea that this would just be what happens in a post-apocalyptic world, but fine, I'll buy into the idea it's dangerous to be a woman. What really highlights the sexism, though, is Dreyden/Bowen. Since he's the love interest, he's clearly not like the other men. He'll protect Fiona and would never hurt her(supposedly). This is great, right? Well, it would be, and it seems to be, until things like this happen(Fiona has just put on a dress since they're hiding in an abandon hotel after cleaning up): "Fo, you're not safe from me. I'm sorry. It's just, if I let my guard drop, even for a second. . ." His cheeks flush bright pink and he takes a deep breath. "I won't be able to keep my hands off you." Sorry, you've just lost any sympathy as the love interest right there. This isn't a one-time thing throughout the book. The romance in Stung is incredibly unhealthy because it is not between equals. Time and time again, Dreyden/Bowen orders Fiona around and she just takes it, without ever questioning anything. I definitely understand why a militia guard would fall into the role of giving orders in high-pressure crises, but this happens even in the quiet moments, when Dreyden and Fiona are just talking or hiding. This is another order he gives Fiona soon after he tells–not asks–tells–her to change out of the dress. "You always have my gun with you. And you always keep one bullet in the magazine. If you get caught, you use it. On yourself. Can you agree to that?" Look, the world of Stung is obviously dangerous. And while I don't really take issue with Dreyden giving Fiona the gun in case she decides that death is better than whatever fate, that should be her choice. But because Dreyden can't handle the thought, he tries to take the choice out of Fiona's hands. While this isn't the only time her orders her about, it's the time I felt really showcased just how demanding he was. Later on, a doctor talks to Dreyden and Fiona and talks about Dreyden's psych evaluation: "Based on your psych analysis, you have a soft spot for helping women." On it's on, this sentence wouldn't be a big deal. But based on the fact this comes after Dreyden has said all that other stuff, it makes me shudder. Helping other people, sure. But helping women, even though you tell Fiona you can't control yourself around her when she's wearing a dress? Dreyden is one of those characters who thinks he's being better than all the other men in the book while still enabling the sexism himself. Stung had a good premise, but other than that, the story was just too problematic for me to ever invest. The overt sexism and insta-love puts this on the list of my least favorite books I've ever read. no reviews | add a review

Detonation blows head gaskets.
I was listing a number of reasons to counter the statement that " to get maximum efficiency we should be overpropped". There are many maximums and some are opposites.
Sony2000 please be clear that I am not having a go at you personally but you are making statements here which are not correct.
All the following relates to a typical sailboat auxiliary normally aspirated diesel engine.
First of all you talk about WOT this usually means a wide open throttle. I do not like this used in reference to a diesel engine. Typically a throttle is a butterfly valve in the inlet manifold which coontrols the air flow into the engine. Diesel engines do not have them. The inlet manifold is not restricted in any way.
The engine speed lever connects to the governor fitted to the fuel injection pump. The governor controls the amount of fuel pumped into each cylinder. If the engine rpm differs from the one set by the engine speed lever then the governor either reduces the fuel supply or increases it to attempt to match the RPM.
Lets say you have a prop which allows an engine to achieve its maximum governed RPM . This will be beyond the point at which the engine generates maximum power.
With 'more' prop you might have a situation where at ' full fuel' the engine would attain the rpm at which it develops maximum power. This would be desirable if you were power boat racing.
With even 'more' prop you get to a situation where at ' full fuel' the engine would just attain the rpm at which it develops maximum torque. This is the rpm at which the engine is most fuel efficient. The engine wear rate will be less too. These are basic engineering facts based both on simple physics as well testing in real life situations.
In practice on a sailboat you would not select a prop which held the engine down to the rpm matching peak torque in flat water with no headwind. Normally it will be somewhere between peak power and peak torque.
Detonation. Basically this is not something that effects diesel engines. See
Diesel cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diesel cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diesel cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A supercharged petrol engine running lean with high manifold pressure and high cylinder head temp will be close to detonation.
The prop pitch can also be changed by cutting of equal amount of the blade, but that is a road far less travelled
No the prop pitch can not be changed by trimming the blade. If you reduce the diameter the pitch remains the same. If you make the blades narrower then by removing some of the leading and trailing edges, the pitch remains the same. If you were to make the blade narrower by trimming only the trailing edge you would get a very tiny change in pitch say 1%.
Oh yes I better enter a couple of qualifications on the above just in case we have any serious diesel heads around.
The governor type I refer to is the constant speed type found on almost all modern engines. If you have an old Gardiner you have something different.
If you have a pneumatic governor then you do have a throttle butterfly in the inlet manifold. I think the last one I saw outside the lab. was on a Merc 200D from the late 60s. They are an invention of the devil as most failures lead to an engine overspeed [ runaway ] which is pretty alarming. I used to create one in the lab. Students would run for cover. Anybody out there got one?
Gahh I used to teach and research in this stuff and spent hours running diesels on dynos. Retired now. No more trying to fill empty heads.

The anthrax vaccine is not currently recommended for the general population; however, because anthrax was used with criminal intent following September 11, 2001, any presumed incidents in the future would almost immediately cause a re-evaluation of the current recommendations. In all likelihood, revised recommendations for receipt of the anthrax vaccine would only target groups considered to be at high risk of exposure based on the situation.
Currently, the anthrax vaccine is only recommended for military personnel, lab personnel and environmental workers who are at the highest risk for exposure to anthrax spores. The vaccine is given as a series of five shots. After the first shot, the vaccine is given four weeks, six months, 12 months, and 18 months later.
The disease, anthrax, is caused by the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. The spores of this bacterium live in the soil and are eaten by grazing livestock (such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes and other herbivores). People get anthrax when they come in contact with infected animals. The most likely people to get anthrax are those who work in slaughterhouses.
Most cases of anthrax occur when the bacteria enters the skin through a cut or abrasion in people who are handling contaminated meat, wool, hides, leather or hair products from infected animals. About seven days after exposure, symptoms of anthrax begin. The disease begins as a small red area on the skin and progresses to a blackened, painless ulcer. Soon lymph glands begin to swell and the patient may have fever, fatigue and headache. About 20 percent of those infected will develop difficulty breathing and a bloodstream infection that causes death. If treated with antibiotics, less than 1 percent of infected persons will die.
Anthrax is very rare in the United States. At the beginning of the 20th century it was estimated that about 130 cases of anthrax occurred every year. But now, with improved conditions for the testing and handling of animals, anthrax has virtually disappeared. The last case of natural anthrax in the United States was in 1992. In 2001, members of the media and postal workers were infected by anthrax following distribution of letters containing anthrax spores.
Anthrax bacteria have been manufactured as an agent of biological warfare and members of the military would be at greatest risk during a bioterrorist attack.
Anthrax is considered one of the most dangerous and lethal agents for a bioterrorist attack for several reasons:
The anthrax vaccine is made by taking a strain of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis, and growing it in the laboratory. The bacteria release several harmful proteins, called toxins, into the surrounding broth. These toxins are responsible for disease in those infected with the anthrax bacteria. The toxins are then inactivated with formaldehyde so that they can no longer cause disease. The anthrax bacteria are filtered out of the vaccine. Therefore, the anthrax vaccine is made in a manner similar to the "acellular" pertussis vaccine.
At least 95 of 100 people given three doses of the anthrax vaccine will develop high levels of antibodies against anthrax in their blood. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of studies on the effectiveness of the anthrax vaccine, but one study, published in 1962, was interesting. In this study, mill workers at high risk of getting anthrax were given either vaccine or no vaccine. The effectiveness of the vaccine was about 92 percent. What was of interest in this study was that, during the study, an outbreak of "inhalational" anthrax occurred. "Inhalational" anthrax occurs when large numbers of anthrax spores are released in the air and is exactly analogous to what would happen if anthrax were used as a biological weapon. Five people got anthrax disease after breathing in the anthrax spores — all five people had not received the vaccine.
Therefore, the anthrax vaccine appears to be effective in preventing "inhalational" anthrax (the type of anthrax expected in a bioterrorist attack).
About one of every five people who receive the anthrax vaccine will develop mild pain, redness, and swelling at the site where the vaccine was given. And about one out of every 100 given the vaccine will develop severe pain and swelling.
In addition, four of every 7,000 people who get the anthrax vaccine will have fever, chills, body aches or nausea after receiving the vaccine. A severe allergic reaction (called anaphylaxis) that includes difficulty breathing, hives or lowered blood pressure is extremely rare.
A long-lasting disease that included muscle pain, fatigue and headaches was significantly associated with deployment of military personnel to the Gulf War. Some suggested that Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) was caused by the anthrax vaccine. To determine whether anthrax vaccine caused GWS, a study was performed. Blood was taken from anthrax-vaccinated people who complained of symptoms of GWS and from those who did not. The percentage of people who had antibodies to anthrax was not different between the two groups. Therefore, the anthrax vaccine does not appear to be the cause of GWS.
Antibiotics such as penicillin, doxycycline and ciprofloxacin all have been found to kill the anthrax bacteria and can be used effectively in the treatment of patients with anthrax.
The problem with antibiotics is that they can kill the anthrax bacteria, but they can't kill the anthrax spores. If there were a bioterrorist attack, spores would be released into the air and inhaled. Antibiotics would prevent the development of the disease, anthrax, but would not necessarily kill all the spores. If someone took antibiotics for several weeks, or even several months, and then stopped the antibiotics, the spores could reawaken (i.e., germinate) and cause disease. It is unclear exactly how long one should treat with antibiotics before it is certain that all the spores inhaled will not germinate.
Also, not all people with anthrax who are treated with antibiotics survive. As with all diseases in medicine, prevention is always better than treatment.
For these reasons, the vaccine is of value.
Anthrax bacteria could be used in an attack against military personnel in the United States during a conflict. Anthrax is a frightening agent in biological warfare because it is easily sprayed over a large area. Once inhaled, and if untreated with antibiotics, the anthrax spores can cause a uniformly fatal infection. Because not all people with anthrax who are treated with antibiotics survive, and because the length of treatment for someone who has inhaled spores is unclear, the anthrax vaccine is of value. On the other hand, the anthrax vaccine has a side effect profile similar to vaccines routinely recommended for children. No evidence supports an association between the receipt of the anthrax vaccine and long-term side effects. Therefore, for military personnel and others at high risk of exposure to anthrax spores, the benefits of the anthrax vaccine outweigh the risks.

Hello npetralias,
I tried your player for some weeks now, and i want to thank you for your fantastic work! Soundwise it is an audible improvement over foobar and even late JRiver versions. Clarity and focus are beautiful. Don't need more gadgets, ram playback and unpacking to wave is what i have been looking for. To be honest, the completely gui free Stealth Audio Player sounds even a tad better, but it's behaviour in case of trojan/malware is not fully clear to me, so i've been looking for an alternative that sounds good without me worrying... I am using a commercial ASIO driver (aqvox, that is), and if it's my birthday and you grant me a wish, i would like the option to choose between audio drivers more freely. Stealth Player does this via config file, not too difficult. Every driver it has recognized during the installation is shown in the file and you just have to copy and paste. That kind of versatility would be great to have in pureplayer, everything else is really good yet. Thank you for this superb player! |

You can try also the gui-less pureplayer by running pureplayer.bat (check readme.txt). Choosing between audio drivers is a very interesting addon and i will try to do it until next release. Unfortunately, there is not much free time for development... Last edited by npetralias; 27th June 2011 at 06:51 AM. |

Unfortunately you cannot redirect the output by modifying the bat file. Pureplayer has no equalizer, no volume control, it just plays the file "as is" without any kind of processing. Maybe some of your files are recorded/converted with extra gain, in this case you may consider normalizing them. Thanks |

Hello npetralias.
I love your player, great peace of work. I'm also going to try to integrate it with JRiver as default player and using JRiver as labrary management tool. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to play from cue files. I thin I have done all possible step and combination ;-) but I haven't succeeded yet in getting PurePlayer to run a cue file. Does it handle both cue-files with each track in a seperate flac-file or does it only handle cue files with the whole disk in a single flac-file? Could you me some step-by-step instructions on how to play a cue file? Thank you - aleg |

This is my first foray into using an audio player so please excuse any glaring errors/mistakes I'm making!
Pureplayer is working and sounds great thru my (crappy) laptop speakers but as I want to use a USB gamma DAC I will be getting shortly, do I need the Wasapi icon checked in Pureplayer? I've tried that and I'm getting the same problem as phi a few posts ago. e.g. In PurePlayer, .... The song never start to play if one song in the play list, and if several, the highlighting just jumps between the songs, but no music. If I select Wasapi while a song is playing then when Pureplayer tries to go to the next song it starts jumping between songs with no music (as above). I've checked Taskmanager during playback - when Wasapi is not selected then "flacplay.exe" is showing. When Wasapi is selected, in Taskmanager the flacplay.exe is replaced by flacplay_wasapi.exe with the associated playback problems. Any suggestions? thanks Quote:

You are rocking for "kinda edgy." I like how the lace and the pattern on the shirt play off of each other.
ReplyDelete Apparently, you CAN be kind of edgy, because that's exactly what you're doing. I am obsessed with print mixing (can we call lace a print?) so I love this. I may or may not have posted a print mixing look myself today. But mine probably wouldn't fall under the edgy category, especially since I'm kissing my cat in one of the pictures. Yep, I'm one of those pet people.
Sarah's Real LifeI'm obsessed with these mixed prints!! They look fabulous!!
I think I have to go get myself this whole outfit now.
Style to StageI don't think you are edgy.
I think you are wearing the perfect fashion blogger outfit.

I could never actually be "edgy" so I like to think of myself as a total somewhat edgy person, which really doesn't even make sense.

I love this outfit!!!! It is edgy but pretty, totally cool :D
http://www.closet-fashionista.com/ ahaha, I love the adult contemporary with a good beat analogy! That exactly sums it up! Venturing into the "edgy" clothing realm can seem so strange and scary, and yet freeing at the same time! For me it's dresses, faux leather accents and animal prints, something I wouldn't have dreamed of wearing even a year ago. 2 years in France will do that to a girl. I guess we all have our clothing "comfort zones". :) Your blog and outfits are awesome as always, and always give me my laugh for the day. Keep up the great work!

There is too much going on in this outfit..I would have personally reduced it to a lace skirt, a white or black T/Shirt with a Snakeskin Stoll. The leather band and the spiked chain are a total overkill...its like a wanna be rocker chick meets wanna be.....

The reader is given the notion that, while Jamie was content in England, he unknowingly has been hiding from any self-identity resembling Robert or Hugh. He has also lived with a firm decision never to have any children of his ownalthough towards the end of his journey, he discovers another part of himself and realizes he could actually make a good father, despite past circumstances.
Jamie also discovers the similarities between Hugh and Famie and between Robert and Hughcertain things have carried through, even by the way they perform everyday tasks or arrange their homes. Unfortunately, Hugh's disdain for Robert (which may have started out only as disappointment) carried through with Robert's disdain for Hugh. This eventually gave way to Robert and Jamie's mutual disdain for each other. When Jamie meets a fully recovered and reborn Robert, Robert tells him that he never hated Hugh; they...

Abused Donkeys
2 comments:
PETA headquarters is in Norfolk, VA...right down the road from me. One of the local radio morning shows used to host an Elizabeth River fishing tournament right next to their building. They (PETA) protested every year, usually by dressing up as something, holding signs, chanting and throwing veggies.
PETA also got busted for euthanizing and dumping dogs and cats they acquired from NC animal shelters under the pretense they would be taken back to Norfolk and adopted out. They were instead, killed and dumped in several 7-11 dumpsters.
PETA has a higher rate of euthanization than the SPCA. They make almost no attempt to find homes for healthy animals as they feel that owning a pet is cruel and wrong.
Oh, and lest I forget, despite all their preaching about how the use of animal products is wrong and evil and is the moral equivalent of the Holocaust...one of the senior VP's for PETA uses insulin to stay alive. An animal product. Do as I say, not as I do I guess.

On the second day, we had three games on the docket, so let's get straight to the action.
Indiana 10 Ohio State 8
In the first game, both teams were facing elimination and tension was a bit high both on the field and in the stands. By the time I got to Fisher Stadium in the top of the first, Indiana had already scored two runs. By the time I found a seat, Jake Hale had balked and Ohio head coach was having a conversation with the ump. Before the first inning was over, four Hoosier runs were across and I thought this would be a wash. Continue reading Big Ten Tourney Day 2 Recap

Apologies for stating the obvious. But it seems that the Euro zone should be divided into the hardworking North and the languid South. That way Rome & Athens can burn without roasting Paris & Frankfurt. If a protective barrier is to be drawn around Italy, as the author mentions, that barrier should also include Spain, Portugal, Greece & the other Mediterranean countries.
I would also like to see such a partition in the US, as the prosperous Northeast and Northern California / Pacific Northwest would be better off without the weight of the rest of country dragging them down. But once crisis at a time.
I couldn't agree with you more.
If justice were to be served, The Economist should experience a "News of the World"-like implosion due to their 2-3 decades of championing the finance/debt/laissez-faire driven economy model that has now brought the world to the brink.
The Economist: Could we at least have a mea-culpa? Just a tiny, little one?
Politicians suck! Tell us something we didn't know.
I don't really see anything changing in terms of how governments continue to deal with the fiscal crisis.
To cut spending permanently to sustainable levels is fairly simple (I didn't say politically easy):
Lawmakers, politicians will be given electronic tokens if you will, which have a total value that is simply the total $ that came in to tax collectors in the last period a budget is being made for. They can divide that up among whatever programs, laws, etc that they desire. Then there is no more. No law can be passed or funded unless it has been allocated from ACTUAL FUNDS.
Overspending solved!
Oh, yes, we'd have to allocate 40% of that to interest on debt or default on it,
and we'll have to eliminate the fed printing money to keep the massive distortions of the economy and inflation of investment assets that occurs when we print money out of thin air. This particularly hits the poor, those on fixed incomes and those who can't get raises.
To avoid the temptation for 'emergency spending' idea that anything we want to spend on can have a good case made for it, (my special term for this is finansturbating), the total allocated to spend then should be some percent less always than the total that comes in, say 5 or 10% left for lawmakers to 'spend' till they use it up, still a fixed amount.
Add incentives for lawmakers: any spending over the receipts amount results in pay cuts for them.
They also should be force to use 401ks like us folks. No pensions.
It has been said that over 2/3 of congress and senators lack basic economics education. Make this mandatory also.
The Good News is it is not a Recession.
The Bad News is it is a Depression.
But we have lived through a World Wide Nasty Depression in 1929. We have the experience and tools to survive this one too.
But the first step to diagnosing and solving a problem, is to call things by the right name.
And know the tools for a Recession compared to a Depression, is like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
How saddening that with all the supposed progress of science and institution-building, in this day and age the well-being of billions is in the hands of a tiny minority with vast power to make - and break - almost all of us. Witness the hundreds of thousands in the streets in Israel, Spain, Chile, not to mention the Arab countries as angry reminders of how far we are from finding a sustainable development model that doesn't fall prey to all kinds of special interests or cleptocratic bankers or dictators.
Again with the false equivalence concerning U.S. politics, on one hand the American GOP is insanely focused on short-term austerity, on the other hand, Obama suggests a modest tax increase on the very wealthy (a policy which the Economist reluctantly supports) and therefore he is engaging in "class warfare." If this magazine expects its opinions on U.S politics to be taken seriously, it must do better.
With all due respect to the author, he/she must not have spend much time with today's politicians. I don't know about Europe or Asia first hand but here in the US, I have lately met over a dozen congresmen and senators, have been on the Hill several times and if we are counting on these people to fix anything, we are in serious danger. The typical US congressman is in a perpetual fund raising operation. His job depends on the amount of money he raises. He goes only where there is money and he does whatever the biggest check tells him to do. The system is so corrupted to the bone that only God (or a revolution) can save us at this point because we can't even count on the markets to correct and start from fresh: the politicians could never give up the control to the markets. That would mean they will loose power to manipulate them for the benefit of the writer of the check.
Whatever happened to "Let market forces rule!"?
"In America the Republicans are guilty of outrageous obstructionism and misleading simplification..."
...and class warfare. Let's not give the impression that Obama is starting this war. As a recent post of mine shows, that is not the case.
I think banks learned a nasty lesson from the last crisis.
the nasty lesson was that if you screech high enough, you can get money from the government (from the taxpayers) almost for free.
We must not reinforce this by doing it again.
If people committed crimes, they need to go to jail vs getting bailouts.
great article. you could do a follow up and write about why there is mostly unable people leading the countries? where did all the smart people go to? I guess investment banking and consulting? for a pity this sectors are not going make the economy recover
Why is it that politicians must do something.
The government's treasuries are only so big and they're comprised of tax dollars from citizens.
Must we bail out a bunch of greedy bankers yet again? Why?
The role of central banks is to maintain an adequate money supply.
Some banks need to go bankrupt - you can't expect the taxpayer to support everything.
If going bankrupt means that millions would lose homes, governments can take over and restructure with a heavy hand but I'm against just giving banks money or loans on the backs of the people.
It's not the Euro that's the problem and it's not credits (alone) that are the solution. It's the economy, stupid.
The economy of the world today needs the simple insight, that it is a system of exchange. One in which those who get something are expected to either give something in the future or have given something in the past.
Unfortunately, a lot of politicians have got it into their heads, that the only mark of economic strength is - depending on whom you ask - to be able to buy things from other countries or to be able to sell things to other countries.
Both are wrong.
It is not a sign of economic strength to sell stuff to countries whom you know will never be able to pay back the credits they need to take up in order to pay for it. It is no sign of economic strength to cut down the wages of ten of million of people in order to be "competitive" and then go on to complain about those exact same countries whose people are increasingly unable to pay for your goods not cutting their wages even further than you yourself did. (And thus undermining their ability to pay for the goods you're trying to sell them even more.)
That's not to say that it is a sign of economic strength to be able to import lots of stuff. Paid for with money that you know is essentially worthless, but backed up with hollow promises. It's not a sign of economic strength either, to complain that those countries whose wares you buy are undermining your domestic markets at a time, when you're letting your infrastructure crumble, your education system is slowly becoming a laughing-stock of the world and you're artificially propping up your currency by ever more empty promises. (And of course I mean the USA.)
Also see my recent post on the mess in the EU:
Capitalism as we know it is on the verge of self-destruction and all of a sudden "The Economist" calls in the dreaded nanny state to save it.
Or perhaps I never really understood that capitalism is we know it only means privatisations of profits and nationalisation of losses.
Yes, politicians have to "do something" to deal with the immediate crisis. But in the longer term it's imperative they do less. Less subsidising of big business and big farmers at the expense of small businesses. Less regulation of the sort that favours big business at the expense of small enterprises. In short: less featherbedding of their party's paymasters be they trade unions or big business. Politicians also should look at targeting some broad, social and environmental goals that are meaningful to ordinary people, and letting the market decide how actually to achieve them. Government is good at articulating society's goals and raising the necessary revenue. It's terrible at actually achieving these goals.
Face it.
We're on the Titanic.
I have no confidence in the Captain, officers or crew.
Steerage is breeding like rats, and trying to break into the common room.
Rome is burning.
Might as well party.

The Real Oracle
How misplaced phone calls end up with a very soulful, lesbian sista
By Genevieve Roja
THE ORACLE HAS SPOKEN. "I'm not Oracle the corporation," she explains. "But could you call me back with their number? People keep calling here asking for it."
Turns out people dialing "411" and asking for "Oracle" get connected not with the Redwood city computer outfit, but with a psychic educator and self-described "psych dyke" named Oracle Soul-Joiner.
Soul-Joiner, a.k.a. SDiane Adamz-Bogus, 53, knows how to warm her listening audience, usually ending sentences with "child," "honey" and "girl." Dressed in a muumuu painted with an African-style print in tomato reds, burnt oranges and mustard yellows, Adamz-Bogus gives me the grand tour of her San Jose apartment. She explains that her "outside" decor is representative of her "inside," her personality. Her living room adorned with Egyptian wall hangings, leopard figurines and minibusts of pharaohs and priestesses signifies Adamz-Bogus' belief that this was her past life existence. Sitting on her tan leather couches are her conversation partners, a litter of Boyd's and Gund bears that she has named individually.
"Talk to my bears," says Adamz-Bogus to me, heading out the door momentarily to grab something in her car. "They're real friendly."
Her infatuation with cuddly bears and Egyptians represents only an inkling of her interests. She has endless bookcases filled with manuals, art books, Star Wars books and novels by African American writers such as Toni Morrison, James Baldwin and Alice Walker. Upstairs, there are framed pictures of characters from her favorite television show Star Trek: The Next Generation. A Trekkie to the bone, Adamz-Bogus wears a Star Trek uniform when she teaches her language arts students at De Anza College in Cupertino. Down the stairs and through the living room is Adamz-Bogus' office, the place where she does channeling and psychic readings for her patrons.
The Future Revealed: Silicon Valley Psychic Stuns All With Uncanny Projects for 2001 and beyond!
Born and raised in Chicago, Adamz-Bogus moved to Birmingham, Alabama, when she was 14 years old. Later, she marched with Jesse Jackson, Stokeley Carmichael and other civil rights leaders in the '60s. In the '70s, she taught world literature and composition at Miles College in Birmingham. While there, the teacher fell in love and secretly dated one of her students, an action that led to Adamz-Bogus' dismissal and cross-country excursion to California. In Inglewood, she met a woman named the Prophetess Grace who told Adamz-Bogus she had a "great power." Years later, the power exposed itself when Adamz-Bogus was warming up for her one-woman show at KiMo Theatre in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As if possessed, she began blurting out prophecies to audience members.
"My mouth kept talking, but my brain clicked off," recalls Adamz-Bogus, whose psychic name borrows from the abolitionist Sojourner Truth.
Confused and alarmed at her power, she consulted books that she believed would help her hone her craft and intuition. She kept hearing voices instructing the psychic and guiding her, the way the voice in Field of Dreams convinced Kevin Costner to clear his corn fields for a baseball field.
Since finding her psychic gift, Adamz-Bogus--who moved to Northern California in the late '80s--has written several books, lectured at conventions and seminars, and helped people achieve their spiritual core "so they have greater control over their inner and external world."
A spiritual core among Silicon Valley dwellers? Hah. It seems godlessness would prevail here.
"Not necessarily godlessness, but lack of consciousness, having succumbed to the distractions of money, power and control," Adamz-Bogus says. "There are those looking to relieve themselves of stress, strain, their own money and a glimpse of peace."
Adamz-Bogus says her clients have little idea of how to achieve that center of peace, mistaking "taking time out" for vegging out on the couch.
"A trip to the zoo is something I recommend," she says. "Elephants exhibit incredible patience. Flamingos--stamina. Cheetahs--self-control."
And while all of us can dote on our tech toys the way Linus depends on his security blanket, Adamz-Bogus says it's time to give it all up.
"The message of the new age is simplicity," she says.
In other words, take that PalmPilot and shove it.

Set the Interpreter property for that field to 'none'; the default for text() fields is LaTex.
Personally I never count on gco being the object I am interested in.
In the above, gco is likely to be the result of imshow(), but imshow() returns an image object, and image objects do not have a 'text' field.
When you title(), a _new_ text object is created to hold the title. That new text object is not going to inherit the properties of the old one.
I would suggest,
for i = 1:4
title(sprintf('%s_%d',mytitle{i},i), 'Interpreter', 'none');
