Having tought about it a bit, I agree as well. It also provides a nice audible feedback, which is very useful if you for example have your Archos in your pocket when you attempt to do prev/next.

No of course not, but with the magnetic info on the APX film, they could have made it on 35mm film with a film count RANGE, and allowed for true pano on the film, or 8x10 or 8x12 frame and had a variable counter, so 14-42 frames depending on if you shot all pano or a mix, or all 8x10(4x5) so you could effectively get MORE out of a roll than 35mm this would be a big appeal for the competition to digital at the time when you could shoot like 65 shots on a 64MB flash card! Woohoo!
They just could have been smarter, instead they were focused on cutting the COST of the film to THEM and not how it could be a better film to US customers.
Ok I've said my bit I'll shush now...

If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.
Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. Guide dogs are one type of service animal, used by some individuals who are blind. This is the type of service animal with which most people are familiar. But there are service animals that assist persons with other kinds of disabilities in their day-to-day activities. Some examples include:
- Alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds.
- Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments.
- Assisting persons with mobility impairments with balance.
Animals that do not meet the above definition of service animals are prohibited on campus.

- See drugs, medication, and pharmacology for substances that treat patients. This article is about medical practice.
Medicine is both an area of knowledge (a science), and the application of that knowledge (the medical profession). The various specialized branches of the science of medicine correspond to equally specialized medical professions dealing with particular organs or diseases. The science of medicine is the body of knowledge about body systems and diseases, while the profession of medicine refers to the social structure of the group of people formally trained to apply that knowledge to treat disease.
There are traditional and schools of healing which are usually not considered to be part of (Western) medicine in a strict sense (see health science for an overview). The most highly developed systems of medicine outside of the Western or Hippocratic tradition are the Ayurvedic school (of India) and traditional Chinese medicine. The remainder of this article focuses on modern (Western) medicine.
Medicine as it is practiced now is rooted in various traditions, but developed mainly in the late 18th and early 19th century in Germany (Rudolf Virchow) and France (Jean-Martin Charcot and others). The new, "scientific" medicine replaced more traditional views based on the "Four humours". The development of clinical medicine shifted to the United Kingdom and the USA during the early 1900s (Sir William Osler, Harvey Cushing).
Evidence-based medicine is the recent movement to link the practice and the science of medicine more closely through the use of the scientific method and modern information science.
Genomics is already having a large influence on medical practice, as most monogenic genetic disorders have now been linked to causative genes, and molecular biological techniques are influencing medical decision-making.
The scope and sciences underpinning human medicine overlap many other fields. Dentistry and psychology, while separate disciplines from medicine, are sometimes also considered medical fields. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and midwives treat patients and prescribe medication in many legal jurisdictions. Veterinary medicine applies similar techniques to the care of animals.
Medical doctors have many specializations and subspecializations which are listed below.
Medicine is a diverse field and the provision of medical care is therefore provided in a variety of locations. In addition to inpatient hospital settings, medical services are often provided in locations such as clinics, emergency departments, endoscopy departments, outpatients department, operating theaters, and birth suites. Modern medical care also depends on information - still delivered in many health care settings on paper records, but increasingly nowadays by electronic means.
Medical training is involves several years of university study followed by several more years of residential practice at a hospital. Entry to a medical degree in some countries (such as the United States) requires the completion of another degree first, while in other countries (such as the United Kingdom) medical training can be commenced as an undergraduate degree immediately after secondary education. Once graduated from medical school most physicians begin their residency training, where skills in a speciality of medicine are learned, supervised by more experienced doctors. The first year of residency is known as the "intern" year. The duration of residency training depends on the speciality.
In the USA, physician training generally follows the following timeline (with age of completion):
A medical graduate can then enter general practice and become a general practitioner (or primary care internist in the USA); training for these is generally shorter, while specialist training is typically longer.
Through the course of the twentieth century, doctors naturally focused increasingly on the technology that was enabling them to make dramatic improvements in patients' health. This resulted in criticism for the loss of compassion and mechanistic, detached treatment. This issue started to reach collective professional consciousness in the 1970s and the profession had begun to respond by the 1980 and 1990s.
Perhaps the most devastating criticism came from Ivan Illich in his 1976 work Medical Nemesis. In his view, modern medicine only medicalises disease, causing loss of health and wellness, while generally failing to restore health by eliminating disease. The human being thus becomes a lifelong patient. Other less radical philosophers have voiced similar views, but none were as virulent as Illich. (Another example can be found in Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology by Neil Postman, 1992, which criticises overreliance on technological means in medicine.)
Criticism against modern medicine has led to some improvements in the curricula of medical schools, which now teach students systematically on medical ethics, holistic approaches to medicine, the biopsychosocial model and similar concepts.
The inability of modern medicine to properly address many common complaints continues to prompt many people to seek support from alternative medicine. Although a large number of alternative approaches to health await scientific validation, many report improvement of symptoms after obtaining alternative therapies.
History of medicine
See the main articles History of medicine and Timeline of medicine and medical technologyMedical sciences and health professions
The delivery of modern health care depends, not just on medical practitioners, but on an expanding group of highly trained professionals coming together as an interdisciplinary team. A full list is given on the health profession page. Some examples include: nurses, laboratory scientists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, dieteticians and bioengineers.Basic, supplementary, and related sciences
Diagnostic and imaging specialties
Disciplines of clinical medicine
Interdisciplinary medical fields
Interdisciplinary sub-specialties of medicine are:
Settings where medical care is delivered
See also clinic, hospital, and hospiceTeaching of medicine
See also the main articles Medical doctor (BE) and Physician (AE)
The name of the medical degree gained at the end varies: some countries (e.g. the US) call it 'Doctor of Medicine' (abbreviated 'M.D.'), while others (e.g. Australia, Britain, Pakistan) call it "Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery" (French: "Chirurgie"); this is technically a double degree, frequently abbreviated 'M.B.B.S' or 'M.B.B.Ch.', dependent on the medical school. In either case graduates of a medical degree may call themselves physician. In the US and some other contries there is a parallel system of medicine called "osteopathy" which awards the degree D.O (doctor of osteopathy). In many countries, a doctorate of medicine does not require original research as does, in distinction, a PhD.Legal restrictions
In most countries, it is prohibited to practice medicine without a proper degree in that field and doctors must be licensed by a medical board or some other equivalent organization. This is meant as a safeguard against charlatans. These laws are obstacles to those who would want to pretend to training and expertise they have not earned, such as practitioners of alternative medicine or faith healing.Criticism
Criticism against medicine has a long history. In the Middle Ages, it was not considered a profession suitable for Christians, as disease was considered Godsent, and interfering with the process a form of blasphemy. Barber-surgeons generally had a bad reputation that was not to improve until the development of academic surgery as a specialism of medicine, rather than an accessory field.See also

The intro paragraph at the top specifies very clearly that **the scope of THIS
article was limited** to fun factoids from the lives of the First Presidency and
the Twelve Apostles.
Another article could just-as-easily have been
written (or could yet be written-- Trent Toone are you listening?! ;~) about
the fascinating lives of the WOMEN who also serve in "high callings"
(General Presidencies and General Boards, with worldwide responsibilities) in
the Church.
Your theory that none of these women's lives are
interesting-enough to merit inclusion in the article is misguided.

The mission of the C# Class Design Handbook is to provide you with a critical understanding of designing classes, making you better equipped to take full advantage of C#s power to create robust, flexible, reusable classes. This comprehensive guide lifts the lid on syntax and examines what's really going on behind the scenes. Specific topics include the role of types in .NET, the different kinds of types C# can create, the fundamental role of methods as containers of program logic, and the workings behind .NETs delegate-based event system. It will also show you how to control and exploit inheritance in your types and how to create logical and physical code organization through namespaces and assemblies.
Designing classes that don't have to be revisited and revised over and over again is an art. This handbook aims to put that art in your hands, giving you a deeper understanding of the decisions you must make to design classes, and design them effectively.

January 23, 2013 No Space for Failure Leo Daily Horoscope
Your hopes and dreams may not be corrupted by the usual fears today, as it is likely that you are riding a rising wave of optimism. Even though your plans may not always unfold successfully, you can still draw encouragement from the notion that fulfillment is waiting for you in the not so distant future. Making use of your newfound confidence can be as easy as taking advantage of those opportunities that might once have frightened you off. If you do not believe that failure is an option today, you cannot devote any of your mental or physical energy to worries that would likely do nothing more than dishearten you.

President Barack Obama listed rising gas prices as among the many reasons to extend the payroll tax cut Tuesday, flanked by individuals the White House promoted as being affected by $40 per paycheck the average American would lose if the tax cut is not extended at the end of February.
The payroll tax funds Social Security. Cutting the tax would reduce funding to Social Security by $119 billion over the next year, on top of the $105 billion reduced from funding in 2011.
While Republican lawmakers have expressed plans to vote for a full-year extension to the tax cut, Obama told his audience Tuesday at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington that they must put pressure on Congress.
Congress needs to extend that tax cut along with vital insurance lifelines for folks whove lost their jobs during this recession and they need to do it now, without drama and without delay, Obama said. No ideological sideshows to gum up the works. No self-inflicted wounds. Just pass this middle-class tax cut. Pass the extension of unemployment insurance. Do it before its too late, and I will sign it right away.
House Republicans sought to extend the payroll tax cut for a full year in December. However, they agreed to a Senate Democratic proposal to extend it just for the first two months of 2012.
On Monday, Obama delivered a budget address in which he referred to the Bush tax cuts as $1 trillion in spending. However, on Tuesday, Obama stressed that the economy is improving and that this is not a time to reduce the amount of spending money.
Allowing this tax cut to expire would make peoples lives harder right now, Obama said. It would make their choices more difficult. It would be $40 less for groceries to feed your kids; it would be $40 less for the medications you depend on; $40 less to cover bills and the rent; $40 less to take care of an elder parent, or to donate to a church or a charity.
And when gas prices are on the rise again because as the economy strengthens, global demand for oil increases and if we start seeing significant increases in gas prices, losing that $40 could not come at a worse time, Obama said. One local entrepreneur named Thierry wheres Thierry? Hes right here.
He told us that $40 would cover the gas that gets him to his day job, or, alternatively, the Internet service his small business depends on. So hed have to start making a choice do I fill up my gas tank to get to my work, or do I give up my entrepreneurial dream. Forty dollars, he wrote, means a heck of a lot, the president added.
CNSNews.com reported last month that under Obama, the price of gas climbed by 83 percent.
When Obama entered the White House in January 2009, the city average price for one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $1.79, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figures are in nominal dollars: not adjusted for inflation. Five months later in June, unleaded gasoline was $2.26 per gallon, an increase of 26 percent. By December 2011, the price of regular unleaded gas per gallon was $3.28, an 83 percent increase from January 2009.
Cutting the payroll tax could make Social Security a less autonomous program than it had been before, Charles P. Blahous III, a member of the board of trustees for Social Security and Medicare, told CNSNews.com in December. With less payroll tax revenue coming in, the shortfall would have to be replaced with income taxes.
Social Security was established as a worker benefit program; to be funded by what employees paid into the system through payroll tax deductions. Replacing much of that financing with income tax revenue would fundamentally change Social Security, making it more like other government entitlement programs that are subject to political whims and budget priorities, Blahous said.
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt put Social Security into place, he designed it to be funded separately from the general fund. He was quoted as saying, We put those payroll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program. Those taxes arent a matter of economics, theyre straight politics.
The Social Security board issued a report in August 2011 saying that Social Security ran a deficit in 2010 for the first time since 1983. The deficit for 2010 was $49 billion, and the deficit for 2011 is projected to be $46 billion, the report said.
Obama Cites Rising Gas Prices Up 83 Percent Under His Tenure Among Reasons to Extend Payroll Tax Cut
Full title too long.
The silver lining if gas reaches $4/gallon is that more people will actually blame the anointed one.
Oil and electrical usage are plunging in the US.
I suspect 6 months from now, even Baraq & his MSM buddies will be unable to cover up the truth.
And extending unemployment benefits to 99 weeks creates jobs. lol.
$4/gallon gas won't make a bit of difference to the 47 million who are being fed by the government. Or the 49% who pay no income tax at all. Or the millions who live in federal housing. Or the millions who are on permanent unemployment benefits. Or the millions of people who are benefiting from the heating assistance program. Ad nauseum....
Those are the people who will re-elect this socialist..... Those and the hypocritical 54% of the Catholics.....
I would add 70% of the Jews, 54% of women, and 98% of the blacks. If the above is true, and I don't dispute it while praying it won't result, we are on the cusp of the beginning of the end, and that means it will effect the dependent classes who will have brought it about.
Inflation: the cruelest tax of all!
(That's the only plan the government has left.)
"The silver lining if gas reaches $4/gallon is that more people will actually blame the anointed one."
No, you need some impetus to drive home the exclamation point. You walk into the station and say to the clerk and assembled customers: "Thank you, obuma, for stealing food from my children's mouths so I can drive to work."
If there's some fat welfare mommas in line, say: "I'm paying crazy cash for your idiot kid to collect social security disability, bitch, so stuff it."
Then go fill up your tank.
This PoS has got to go. He is a sickening cancer on this country.
Regretfully, I think you are right. I have slowly come to the conclusion that decades of the "progressives" control of the educational system have resulted in what they wanted, i.e., the complete dumbing down of the American populace so as to accept socialism.
We should continue to fight on but I think the American Experiment is coming to an end.
Personally, I'm glad that I was born in 1940, since I have had the time to benefit enormoualy in the intervening years. I feel sorry for those who are of a much lesser age. They are so screwed.
Cherry-picked datapoints. If Republicans keep pushing this, the Obamanoids can (and almost certainly will) come right back and say that prices are no worse than they were the summer before Bush left office. As we have seen with the global warming thingy, it's all in how you choose your start and end points.
Americans really love the pain and misery they are feeling at the pump and the store. Obama's poll numbers are surging. Atheism and Socialism is on the rise. A majority of the public are feeding off the government teat. Then no one likes any of the Republican candidates but everyone loves the 99 percenters and hates the rich and big business.
All this is a perfect storm for Obama's re-election. We've lost this nation.
Time to head for Canada, at least they are moving to the right now.
I'm seeing those charts on Mish and Zerohedge. They certainly seem at odds with the MSM chorus of "economic recovery".
What's your feeling on this? (thanks)
please dear God, let it go up to $7. a gallon. Just til after the elction
Just passed a gas station tonight and the Premium grade was at 4.17/gal.(So. Calif, Ventura County).
Gasoline drop seems stunning to me.
Thanks for the data.
Avg age of cars is now up to 10.8 years (so this drop can't be due to impact of large numbers of new high mileage cars).
Mild USA winter would imply people are driving at least the "normal" amount.
Diesel cars/pickups don't seem to be more of the market than they were 5 yrs ago.
Economic hardship seems like the most likely cause - in much contrast to MSM talk of "recovery".
As long as action against Iran is put off, oil will generally rise.
To me as well. Gasoline is used mostly individuals, over commercial / industrial.
It shows a drastic change in behavior to make a drop that quick.
Note that chart is smoothed by using 4 week averages. So a major storm or the like would have a muted effect.
Together they show the drop to 8 MMBPD has been sustained for a few weeks. It has been over a decade since that was an expected level.

Trulia Downgraded by Deutsche Bank to "Hold" (TRLA)
Trulia (NASDAQ:TRLA) was downgraded by stock analysts at Deutsche Bank from a "buy" rating to a "hold" rating in a report issued on Tuesday, TheFlyOnTheWall.com reports. They currently have a $71.00 price objective on the stock, up from their previous price objective of $42.00. Deutsche Bank's price target points to a potential upside of 17.30% from the company's current price.
The analysts wrote, "Trulia reported another solid quarter with better than expected net new subs, ARPU, marketplace and display revenue and Adj EBITDA. The company guided to 2Q revenue above our and consensus estimates, though EBITDA guidance was slightly light. Traffic at core Trulia continues to accelerate and is tracking to a fourth month of acceleration in July. Over half of traffic and leads now come from mobile, where the company now has 40% TMA penetration on core Trulia subs. The strong results may help shares modestly but the pending transaction with Zillow puts more weight on Zillow's results next week, which could likely show similar strength."

Sara Ylen is led into Sanilac County Circuit Court to be sentenced for health care fraud Wednesday after previously pleading no contest. Prosecutors said she faked cancer to receive money and benefits. She was sentenced to one year. / MARK R. RUMMEL/TIMES HERALD
� 2001: Ylen says she was sexually assaulted by James Grissom in the Fort Gratiot Meijer parking lot.
� 2003: Grissom is convicted and sentenced to 15 to 35 years in prison.
� 2009-11: Ylen receives hospice care for cancer treatment.
� May 2012: Michigan State Police begin investigating Ylen�s cancer claims.
� September 2012: Ylen tells St. Clair County police she was sexually assaulted at her Lexington home.
� November 2012: Michigan Supreme Court grants Grissom a new trial after other sexual assault claims by Ylen prove unfounded. The case is dismissed, and Grissom is released from prison.
� May 2, 2013: Ylen is arrested and lodged in St. Clair County jail for reporting a false felony and tampering with evidence. She�s released on bond the next day.
� May 3, 2013: Ylen is arrested and lodged in Sanilac County jail for health care fraud charges after police said Ylen�s claims of cancer were false.
� May 6, 2013: Ylen is arraigned and charged with six felony counts related to health care fraud in Sanilac County.
� May 22, 2013: Ylen is arraigned and charged with filing a false report of rape and tampering with evidence in St. Clair County.
� June 18, 2013: Ylen is bound over to St. Clair County Circuit Court on charges of falsely reporting a rape and tampering with evidence after a preliminary examination in St. Clair County.
� July 12, 2013: Ylen is bound over to Sanilac County Circuit Court on health care fraud charges after a preliminary examination in Sanilac County.
� Dec. 5, 2013: Jury in St. Clair County finds Ylen guilty of filing a false felony report and tampering with evidence.
� Jan. 13, 2014: Ylen pleads no contest to two of six counts in Sanilac County: Health care fraud and obtaining more than $20,000 in services under false pretenses.
� Jan. 17, 2014: Ylen is sentenced in St. Clair County to a minimum of five years in prison for filing a false felony report and tampering with evidence.
� Feb. 19, 2014: Ylen is sentenced to 365 days in jail on each of two charges. The sentence is to be served concurrently with her St. Clair County prison sentence.
Another chapter of Sara Ylen�s story closed Wednesday when she was sentenced to a year in jail for health care fraud. But Ylen�s acquaintances think her tale is far from finished.
�I don�t think this is the end,� Tami Fracassa, of Carsonville, said after the sentencing. �I don�t think we�ve heard the last from Sara. She�s going to have a whole new audience in jail.�
Sanilac County Circuit Judge Don Teeple sentenced the 38-year-old Lexington woman to 365 days in jail, with credit for 41 days served, on two counts, the sentences to run concurrently. She will serve the sentences in prison at the same time as a five-year prison sentence from a separate St. Clair County case.
She also will pay a little more than $121,000 in restitution to Blue Cross Blue Shield.
�The reality is we had to work with Michigan law,� said Brenda Sanford, chief assistant prosecutor for Sanilac County. �No matter what we did, it was going to run concurrently with the St. Clair County sentence.�
Ylen spoke little during her sentencing. She wore a large blue coat and shackles around her ankles.
Ylen pleaded no contest Jan. 13 to obtaining more than $20,000 in services because of false pretenses of cancer and healthcare fraud stemming from a false statement.
She received more than $100,000 in hospice care from 2009 to 2011 after she claimed to have multiple myeloma. A church fundraiser collected about $10,000 for some of her day-to-day expenses.
During Ylen�s preliminary examination, witnesses testified a hospice nurse visited Ylen weekly for about two years. Ylen received regular doses of liquid morphine. She used a wheelchair and wore a scarf around her head.
Ylen was discharged from Mercy Hospice when she no longer met criteria for a hospice patient.
Police said Ylen�s claims of cancer were false. None of the doctors she listed as having diagnosed her with cancer had actually done so.
Teeple called Ylen�s lies about her cancer and the lengths she went to to defend them �mind-boggling.�
�You took advantage of the good will and generosity of people who were more than willing to assist you, all based on lies,� Teeple said. �You also went to extraordinary lengths to defraud your health care provider of over $90,000 for medical treatment which you did not require.
�You took advantage of so many people, lied about so many things.�
Croswell Wesleyan Church raised about $10,000 for Ylen before receiving an anonymous package in the mail that detailed Ylen�s history.
Fracassa said she sent the package of information to Pastor Ryan Budde in 2012.
�I knew she�d been lying all along and I�ve been telling people for 10 years she�s been lying,� Fracassa said.
Sanford said Ylen�s fundraiser at Croswell Wesleyan Church was not the only one on her behalf.
�This went on for years,� Sanford said.
Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. Brian Ferguson, lead investigator on the case, said Ylen worked at a Sandusky state police post in a janitorial capacity for a period of time while she alleged to have cancer.
�There�s a lot of hurt, deception,� Feguson said. �A lot of our employees went out of their way to help her in her time of need.�
In a separate case, Ylen was sentenced Jan. 17 in St. Clair County to at least five years in prison. On Dec. 5, a jury took fewer than 30 minutes to decide Ylen was guilty of filing a false report of rape and tampering with evidence.
Ylen had claimed she�d been raped at her Lexington home in the late morning of September 18, 2012. The men she accused had sturdy alibis, and doctors said bruising from the alleged assault wiped off with some gauze.
Her conviction came about a year after James Grissom � a man convicted in 2003 of raping Ylen � was released from prison. Grissom spent nearly 10 years in prison.
The Michigan Supreme Court granted him a new trial after investigators found Ylen had made unsubstantiated claims of rape in California. Given the length of time since the previous trial and new evidence, the St. Clair County prosecutor�s office asked that the case be dismissed.
Ylen�s name became well known when she asked the Times Herald to recount the story of her rape and the Grissom conviction. Her story was published in a series of articles in 2003 under the title, �Sara�s Story.�
In 2009, Ylen told the Times Herald she believed she�d contracted HPV, which developed into cervical cancer, during the alleged Grissom assault.
Fracassa said she was one of the first people Ylen told about the alleged rape at a Fort Gratiot Meijer parking lot. She began to question Ylen�s story after Ylen related information about the California cases to her.
�She duped all of us, and I don�t consider myself naive,� Fracassa said.
Tammy Lisek, of Croswell, testified during Ylen�s preliminary examination that she had found X-rays dated 2007 online that Ylen claimed were hers and had been taken at a 2009 appointment.
Lisek was present at Ylen�s sentencing Wednesday.
�I just want her to get the help she needs and I don�t think she�ll get that sitting in prison,� Lisek said. �I just continue to pray for her.�

I'm not supposed to think like this but she has really sexy soft breasts and nipples too, and when she came pulling on her clit I found my hand was between my legs and my pussy was all wet. Should I cum, does that make me a lesbian?

That is so fucking hot. I'm gonna have to try that. Sexxxxxxy!
Brit Amy August 22, 2012
This is really great, love the simplicity and she seems to have a real orgasm by just pulling at her knickers. Wish I could do that! Do you think she'd let me have a go? ;)
Kevin in Toronto August 21, 2012
I had no idea a woman could cum like this. Nice nipples, sexy puss, beautiful.
Manuel August 24, 2012
I don't think she really came, she faked it. Came way too quick and barely pulled on it.
Cindy from Indy August 24, 2012
Manuel, your wrong, girls can cum pulling on the clit like that and really fast, if they do it alone. When guys do it, we take our time!!
Terry August 30, 2012
Who knew panties could be a dildo. Are those for sale? :O
Jeff Kent August 28, 2012
love how she starts off pulling on her nipples. I had a girlfriend who could orgasm by just pulling and twisting her nipples. Try it, you'll like it!
NYC 4Ever August 26, 2012
Cindy is right, girls cum really easily when they do it for themselves. Guys would get more if they watch and learn! Really beautiful pussy on this woman! Who was giving the applause at the end??

Detection of lipopolysaccharides in polyacrylamide gels by transfer to nitrocellulose followed by immunoautoradiography with antibody and 125I-protein A: "LPS blotting". | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 6203428 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which constitute the somatic (O) antigen of gram-negative bacteria, were used to demonstrate the procedure of LPS blotting involving the electrophoretic transfer of electrophoretically resolved LPS from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose filters. Immobilized LPS could then be immunoautoradiographically visualized in situ by reaction with specific anti-LPS antibody and subsequent binding of radioiodinated Staphylococcus protein A. LPS blotting is expected to provide an efficient and specific means of investigating the LPS (O) antigens of gram-negative bacteria. |

Here's how big the iPhone 6 may be compared to most other flagships
57 Comments
1. james1 (Posts: 97; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
It won't matter how big the screen is when you can't enjoy it with at least a 1080p resolution, companies are moving forward 2K displays with their screens and apple is still not even 720p.
6. hipnotika (Posts: 353; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
all the tv companies are idiot that using 4k res. for above 50 inch tvs.
2 k screen unnecessary at mobile. it consumes more power
1080p is the ideal size i think.
10. galanoth (Posts: 381; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
Depends on the device if it uses more power.
Galaxy S5 LTE-A has a 2560x1440 screen.
Uses about the same amount of power as Galaxy S5 1080p screen.
According to Anandtech.
16. vincelongman (Posts: 2444; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
Good point
But I think its because the S5 LTE-A has the newer 805 which is more efficient and faster
A S5 LTE-A with the 805 and a 1080p screen would probably be more efficient than one with a 1440p screen
18. galanoth (Posts: 381; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
Could also be true.
Anyone got battery life tests between G3 regular and G3 Snapdragon 805?
20. nebsif (Posts: 37; Member since: 27 Jul 2014)
just watch this, its about performance and battery of G3, G3 LTE-A and S5 LTE-A all in one vid: youtu.be/YCpcEtokiJ0
(TL:DW galaxy s5 prime is QHD display done right, if it doesnt hinder anything, then whey not have it?)
41. Freecableguy (Posts: 37; Member since: 21 Jul 2014)
Interesting video but her G3 scores are wayy too low.. I'm scoring around 36k @ antutu, just like S5 and the other S801 flagships
40. kevin91202 (Posts: 319; Member since: 08 Jun 2014)
The Snapdragon 805 is not much more efficient than the 801. The 2K Samsung display's efficiency is what matters. It really has nothing to do with the Snapdragon.
39. KingDingaLing (Posts: 324; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
Funny. I have a 65" 4K and it's freaking stellar. Not sure what you mean.
52. refillable (Posts: 831; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
'All the TV companies are idiot that using 4K Res for above 50 inch TVs'
Is that an irony? Because The 4K Samsung monitor is just excellent.
54. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2016; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
My 65" UHDTV looks phenomenal, get your facts straight
57. hipnotika (Posts: 353; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
i mean. tv companies using 4k for big screens and taking best res with 50 - 60 inchs.
but in 5 inch it isnt necessary 2k screen.
12. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3472; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Not 2K.... 2,5 K or Quad HD
19. vincelongman (Posts: 2444; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
FHD (1920x1080) is closer to 2K (2048x1080) than QHD (2560x1440)
Also 4K/2K is called 4K/2K because its about 4000/2000 horizontal pixels
3840/1920 is rounded up
2560 would round up to 3K, but many people are calling 3200x1800 3K, so maybe rounding down to 2.5K makes more sense
IMO we should just keep referring to it as QHD or 1440p
36. c.hack (Posts: 526; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
1080p is overkill and a battery hog on a 5" device. 1080p, 2k, 4k, is just meaningless marketing speak that has no bearing on a small screen.
Even Samsung's 8" tablets are shipping with 800p resolution (although it is noticeable at 8")

45. McLTE (Posts: 742; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
speak for yourself. I can see a huge difference between my 1280 Note 2 and my daughter's S5 at 1920. 1080p is NOT overkill.
I do however think 2560 is over kill for 5.5" phones. On my G3, I think I'd be just as happy if it was 1080. The resolution it has actually makes some fonts and websites hard to read. Not worth giving up battery life, to me anyway.
My Son's 8.4 Galaxy Pro tablet is AMAZING with it's 2560 resolution. I would never ever purchase a tablet of any size with 800p resolution.
42. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6990; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
With a new puny smaller battery. and with a over large ipod touch with EXTREME PRICE tag they still can't out beat any companies when it comes to screen resolution or specs. they are only good at selling million of units.
2. Lt.Green (Posts: 397; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
Those top and bottom bezels are as bad as Sony's.
5. hipnotika (Posts: 353; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
you are wrong.
it is not usable with little lover bottom bezels like lg g3 or g2. its not easy use as iphone.
13. ManusImperceptus (Posts: 718; Member since: 10 Jun 2014)
"little lover bottom"...
Lol! Freudian slip...! :-D
28. Wolf_Blitza (Posts: 24; Member since: 30 May 2014)
The iPhones's the screen-bezel ratio is 65.8%, that's worse than 4.7" phones from 2012 (eg. optimus G, nexus 4, moto X).
3. HugoBarraCyanogenmod (Posts: 640; Member since: 06 Jul 2014)
why is apple get special treatment for doing size comparison before officially release but not other devices?
33. lalalaman (Posts: 501; Member since: 19 Aug 2013)
Bcoz its iphonearena:D
34. bucky (Posts: 1833; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Because it's the single most popular phone I'm guessing.
35. lalalaman (Posts: 501; Member since: 19 Aug 2013)
Well it is.....ppl have been waithing for bigger screen iphone for almost 2 years, and now it actually very near
51. refillable (Posts: 831; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
I'm sure they did LG G3 and others earlier.
4. D.Lamore (Posts: 198; Member since: 15 Aug 2014)
Alpha is the best compact phone.
8. mr.techdude (Posts: 568; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Nope the moto x is the most compact phone from screen size : body ratio. I don't have it but I've been told it's a little bigger the the iPhone 5s which has a 4.7 vs 4 inch screen.
11. galanoth (Posts: 381; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
Also depends on what peoples' definition of compact is.
Do people take into account phone width?
If so, I think the Galaxy Alpha is the most compact 4.7 inch phone by total volume. (H x L x W)
Moto X (129.3 x 65.3 x 10.4 mm)
Galaxy Alpha (132.4 x 65.5 x 6.7 mm)
43. JaroB (Posts: 67; Member since: 13 Feb 2013)
131,6 x 69,3 x 9,8 mm
14. Lt.Green (Posts: 397; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
+1 but the Z3 Compact seems promising too.
21. vincelongman (Posts: 2444; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
Z3 C sound promising
But I'm still disappoint there's no ZL3 or Z3 M (5" screen in a body similar to the Alpha)
24. Venkatramanan (Posts: 298; Member since: 15 Aug 2014)
As of today. But if rumors are true about Z3C size, that will be the best compact phone.
26. Amir1 (Posts: 290; Member since: 20 Aug 2013)
This is without a doubt. Z3c should outdo Z1c as best compact flag ever made. no one can argue on that.
44. neela_akaash (Posts: 357; Member since: 05 Aug 2014)
Make that alpha around 10mm thick and throw in a 3500mah battery... It will kill every phone in the competition.

9. twens (Posts: 835; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Funny how time changes. Just yesterday sammy used to be the king of ugly flagships. Now see, the alpha is the best looking device amongst the list. Lol, if someone ever told me apple was going to release a less attractive device compared to sammy I would have given the person a dirty slap. Time indeed changes.
15. Sreddy (unregistered)
looks good for now, just the top and bottom bezels are big.
22. Python212 (Posts: 363; Member since: 13 Aug 2014)
The Z2 looks like a brick compare to other phones here and it sure weighs like one, too. The S5's just ugly looking but the new Alpha looks pure gorgeous!! My M8 looks like it got beaten with the ugly stick next to it. Too bad it doesn't really have killer specs like other true andriod flagships. Although I respect the G3 and it has amazing small form factor with a oversized display, I don't really like the quality of their screen. The G3's glossy plastic is another turnoff for me. The iPhone...where do I begin? Sub full HD resolution, no SD card slot, iTunes, small battery & no true multitasking should be more than enough for me to stay away. If those leaks are true then I think the iPhone 6 looks uglier than their previous gen, the iPhone 5S. The iPhone 5S looks beautiful but it's just too small for my taste and also rocks other cons I wrote above. I guess now I'm definitely going with the Note 4 if it shares the same design language as the new Alpha. Crazy beautiful QHD AMOLED screen with killer specs & functions and now with a beautiful design language....can't go wrong with it.
23. Switch00 (Posts: 63; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
this preliminary size comparison shows/proves only one thing. there is design of the iphone(s), and there are 5 copycats. what a shame. if apple makes iphone7 circular, they all shall follow.
25. twens (Posts: 835; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Very senseless comment. You're a troll. Don't all TV's look the same? Don't cars look the same? You're just a useless troll.

This obsession with thinness needs to end. ip5s battery life was crap, XZ2 tablet battery life was crap, GS Alpha battery life was crap. All for no viable reason!

How did you felt that z2 battery life is crap...
46. vuyonc (Posts: 641; Member since: 24 Feb 2014)
The tablet? All other 2014 Xperia devices beat it on PA's battery life test, so yeah pretty disappointed.
56. HarryWild (Posts: 60; Member since: 18 Oct 2012)

Shrink the top bezel apple, leave the bottom for Touch ID. The LG G3 looks the best of all, even better than the M8.

ya , alpha is more compact for a 4.7 incher
50. kabhijeet.16 (Posts: 722; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
OMG.. Those bezels....
53. Phone_Focused (Posts: 7; Member since: 13 Sep 2013)
You said it, LG G3 for the win.
55. HarryWild (Posts: 60; Member since: 18 Oct 2012)
Samsung Alpha just has a metal band around it but the rest is made of plastic and Samsung is positioning it as a high end metal smartphone that is a direct competitor to iPhone 6 which is all metal! Now that great marketing in my book!

Drew's RBI Single in 15th Gives Red Sox Walk-Off Win
BOSTON (AP) — Stephen Drew singled in the winning run in the 15th inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners and back into first place in the AL East on Wednesday night.
Dustin Pedroia drew a leadoff walk and took second on a groundout by David Ortiz. Mike Napoli was walked intentionally and Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out. Jonny Gomes then walked, loading the bases, and Drew hit a liner just inside the right-field line as Pedroia scored the decisive run.
Boston moved a half-game ahead of Tampa Bay in the division. The Rays lost 7-0 Wednesday night to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Drew Britton (1-0) pitched two innings for his first major league win. Lucas Luetge (0-2) took the loss.

In RSpec-2, every example group and example has associated metadata, to which you can append arbitrary information. This allows you to slice and dice a spec suite in a variety of ways.
Adding arbitrary metadata
The describe
and it
methods, and their aliases, each accept a hash as the last argument before the block:
describe "something", :this => {:is => :arbitrary} do
it "does something", :and => "so is this" do
# ...
The keys in these hashes can be accessed in a number of ways via RSpec.configure
. If, for example, you're working on a specific example and don't want to run the full suite, you can use the filter_run
method on the configuration like this:
# in spec/spec_helper.rb
RSpec.configure do |c|
c.filter_run :focus => true
# in spec/any_spec.rb
describe "something" do
it "does something", :focus => true do
# ....
Now if you run rspec spec
, it will only run that one example, no matter how many others there are in the suite.
This works for examples and groups, so if you want to run all the examples in one group that you're focusing on, but nothing else, you can do this:
RSpec.configure do |c|
c.filter_run :focus => true
describe "something", :focus => true do
it "does something" do
# ....
it "does something else" do
# ....
The rspec
command would now run both of the examples in that group.
This is the inverse of filter_run
. It excludes any examples or groups that match the filter:
RSpec.configure do |c|
c.filter_run_excluding :slow => true
describe "something", :slow => true do
it "does something" do
# ....
it "does something else" do
# ....
The rspec
command would now run all the other examples in the suite, but not these two.
NOTE: filter_run_excluding
was added in beta.12, which was just released this morning.
You can filter on runtime conditions by assigning a lambda to a key. If your app is expected to behave differently in different versions of Ruby, you can use a lambda
with filter_run_excluding
like this:
RSpec.configure do |c|
c.filter_run_excluding :ruby => lambda {|version|
!(RUBY_VERSION.to_s =~ /^#{version.to_s}/)
describe "something" do
it "does something", :ruby => 1.8 do
# ....
it "does something", :ruby => 1.9 do
# ....
This example comes directly from rspec-core's own spec_helper.rb
RSpec passes 1.8 and 1.9 to the lambda, which accepts it as the version
block argument. If the lambda returns true
, the example is excluded from the run (because we're using filter_run_excluding
). Now the first example will only run if the ruby version is 1.8. Similarly, the latter example only runs under 1.9.
(no) command line support (yet)
We plan to add some sort of command line API to access these filters, but we're not sure yet what this is going to look like. There is an open issue in github issues for rspec-core . Please feel free to review and add any comments there.

The Early Childhood Education program educates professionals in a range of positions to assist infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children in group situations. Students learn in college-affiliated, nationally accredited early childhood education centers that serve as field sites.
To earn an Associate in Applied Science degree, one of several certificates, or a state-recognized credential, ECE students must achieve a minimum grade of C in all early childhood education courses and successfully complete field experiences before being accepted in practicum, earning a certificate, or being granted the A.A.S. degree. To apply for a state credential, students must complete additional observation/professional hours.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Oakton's ECE program encourage students entering the field to have a minimum of an ECE certificate or an A.A.S. degree. By 2012, all teachers working in NAEYC-accredited will be required to have an A.A.S. degree in early childhood education.
The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) requires child care workers to have a minimum of six credit hours in early childhood education and two years of college credit to be licensed to teach young children in group situations. Students only seeking these minimum DCFS requirements should take the following ECE core courses:
- ECE 102 Child Growth and Development (3 credit hours)
and one of the following:
- ECE 104 Introduction to Early Childhood Education (4 credit hours)
- ECE 106 Guidance of the Young Child (3 credit hours)

Laser Treatment for Gum Disease in Texarkana, TX
Laser Treatment for Gum Disease
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults. Reports indicate that millions of people are unaware that they have gum disease, and about 30% of the population is genetically susceptible to contracting the condition. Other risk factors include smoking, pregnancy, puberty, stress, grinding teeth, poor nutrition, diabetes, and poor oral hygiene. When gum disease sets in, it destroys soft tissue, breaks the strong bond between teeth and supporting gums, and can cause jawbone deterioration, as well as tooth loss.
If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth, or if they appear red, swollen, or are tender to the touch, you may have gum disease. Depending upon the severity of your case, our hygienists may recommend deep cleaning to reverse the condition. Our office uses a gentle soft tissue laser to treat the pockets infected by bacteria and periodontal disease. The procedure is called "sulcular debridement," and it involves removing diseased epithelial lining and coagulation utilizing a pulsed, free-running Nd:YAG laser. We perform this therapy in conjunction with subgingival scaling to improve the gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss, and tooth mobility.
During your appointment, mild anesthesia will ensure that you stay comfortable. We will use an ultrasonic scaler to remove hardened plaque (often referred to as tartar or calculus from your teeth. Next, we will smooth rough tooth roots where plaque and bacteria tend to accumulate. We'll also irrigate the pockets between the teeth and gums to wash away debris and sterilize the area. The soft tissue laser will disinfect the pocket and seal blood vessels, nerve endings, and lymphatics so that there is no infection, bleeding, or swelling following laser treatment (sulcular debridement).
Soft tissue laser therapy for deep cleanings presents many advantages. The laser beam seals as it cuts away damaged tissue, so bleeding is minimal. Because of the reduced trauma, most patients feel better than they would after traditional deep cleanings.
If you're interested in laser treatment at your hygiene visit, call Lippian Family Dentistry today. Our gentle dentists and hygiene team will examine your situation and determine the most effective and conservative therapy for your condition.

"PSA of the day ... If you spit in a man's face, you deserve to get knocked out. Man, woman or child. Period!"
This was a friend's Facebook status on the day the news broke that Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his fiancee, Janay Palmer, had both been charged with simple assault after they were involved in a domestic dispute while visiting an Atlantic City casino over Valentine's Day weekend. Rumor had it that Palmer had spit on Rice, and Rice had reacted. To what degree he reacted was anyone's guess, at that time. Rice's lawyer initially — and in hindsight, bafflingly — described the event as a "very minor physical altercation," as if there were some way for a couple to lay hands on each other that wasn't bad.
Good ol' TMZ came through with footage of the aftermath to that dispute. "Very minor"? Hardly. Grainy video showed Rice dragging his unconscious fiancee from the elevator and discarding her face-down on a carpeted hallway. He seems not to want to be bothered and even more so when he is approached by hotel security. As the woman comes to, he drags her around some more, seemingly annoyed. The first thing I wondered is, what happened to her?
Police supposedly are in possession of a video that shows Rice allegedly delivering the blow that knocked his fiancee out cold.
I've been following this story for days to find out what happened to Palmer and how she's doing. No one seems to care much about her, despite us all being under the impression that her man — and father of her child — played Mike Tyson's Punch Out on her and then dragged her across a dirty elevator floor and into a hallway like she was trash. I mean, the man is a professional athlete. He cared so little that he couldn't even pick her up. The only update came from a Ravens spokesman, who said the couple "returned home together after being detained."
Really? Is that the best place for a woman who allegedly just got knocked out by her man? A woman doesn't just bounce back from that like nothing happened. Who is going to nurse her back to health and make sure she's OK? Him?!
In the aftermath, all the talk in the news was about whether Rice will get to keep his job with the Ravens and how much it will cost the team to let him go. Oh, and there were some who were minimizing the issue. The Baltimore Ravens general manager called the allegations "concerning" and that it "doesn't look good." You think?
On social media, there were plenty of statements like those from my Facebook friend justifying why it's OK for a man to hit a woman or wondering what he said to get spit on, which in turn made him punch. Everyone was talking about this couple as though they were avatars, and someone else was in control of them and they were not responsible for their own actions.
It doesn't matter what he said. She shouldn't have spit on him. And while it's profoundly disrespectful, it's not an excuse to knock your fiancee out cold and drag her across a floor. What is this an excuse for, though? For this couple to part ways.
It seems unlikely that this is the first time the couple has been abusive toward one another and may not even be the first time their fights have reached this level of violence. But by the time you're allegedly spitting on your partner in public and he allegedly knocks you unconscious? It's a clear sign it's time to call the relationship a wrap.
